Fang Zilan secretly sighed, thinking that Zhong Yao was probably very anxious and angry when something happened to Shangguan's family, and because he was involved in government affairs, it was no wonder that he was so ill. However, she had a villain's heart before, and she just thought that Zhong Yao was taking care of his illness.
Thinking of this, she immediately said seriously: "Lord Zhong, you still have to put yourself first. No matter how hard you think about it, or whether you are broken into pieces, you have to talk about your body in the end. It's nothing to play with."
"Master Fang's words will definitely be kept in mind by the lower official." After Zhong Yao finished speaking, he looked at Fang Zilan deeply.
She knew there was something in what Zhong Yao said about keeping it in his heart, but she was sincere in what he said, and she was not afraid that he would write it down and arrange it, so she said goodbye with a smile, and left the Zhizhou Mansion with Vice General Cao and Awan, leisurely and contentedly. He returned to his home.
Fang Zilan had a rare leisure time in the next few days. The marriages of the two daughters of the Wang family were proceeding in an orderly manner. Lingyuan and Ouyang Juncheng were engaged, while Lingli chose Fang Yuhan.
When Fang Zilan learned about it, she thought that Fang Lihui had really guessed the Wang family's thoughts, and would rather choose a sideline son than marry a son from the main family who was known to be a dissipator.
As for Qi Yuming, who was in the army, he didn't make any move, which made her sigh that the quiet and peaceful days were really beautiful.
Awan on the side sighed and said that she was born to worry about her life, and this kind of good time should be used to recuperate.
Fang Zilan knew that Awan was right, but the calmer everything seemed on the surface, the more uneasy she felt in her heart, for fear of something unexpected happening.
Fortunately, the marriage dates between the Wang family, the Fang family, and the Ouyang family were close. She planned to go back to the army and stay for a while after watching the wedding ceremony to sort out the affairs of Sanyuan Village and the wolves.
A Wan knew that she was worried about things in the army, so she didn't dare to be careless. She kept checking her pulse and taking medicine. She just hoped that she could at least get through this period first. After she found the medicine partner, he could prepare new medicine and then treat her. Not too late.
September 27th is an auspicious day for marriage.
The two daughters of the Wang family were getting married, and Yanzhou City was celebrating with great excitement.
Before dawn that day, Fang Zilan and Awan went to Wang's house together. At the invitation of Mrs. Wang, they performed a pre-wedding ceremony for the two daughters.
The dowry ceremony before marriage is a unique custom in Beijing. The highly respected elders of the bride's clan personally groom the bride and recite auspicious words.
Logically speaking, this should be Mrs. Wang's errand. Fang Zilan was quite surprised when she received the invitation, but she couldn't help but agree to it immediately.
However, when she arrived at Wang's house and saw Mrs. Wang, she still couldn't help but want to ask why, but she didn't expect that Mrs. Wang spoke before her.
While Mrs. Wang was inspecting the hairpin ring jewelry in the hands of the maid and servant girl, she slowly said: "Master Fang would like to ask me why you are invited to come and do the pre-marriage ceremony for the two girls with me?"
"Exactly." Fang Zilan stood not far behind Mrs. Wang and nodded, "I am a rough man who conquered the battlefield, and I am full of murderous intent. Aren't Mrs. Wang afraid that I will interfere with the happy event of two daughters of gold?"
"It's because Mr. Fang has so much murderous intent that he can suppress it." Mrs. Wang turned around with a solemn expression, "Although the emperor felt compassion and did not kill all the Shangguan family, there were not many Shangguan family members left. Innocent people were left behind. There are so many people, and if the dead cannot rest in peace, they will surely entangle the living.”
Fang Zilan was a little funny in her heart, but she couldn't show it on her face. She could only write lightly: "I didn't expect Mrs. Wang to believe these ghosts and gods."
"I don't believe it." A smile appeared on Mrs. Wang's face, quite self-deprecating, "But for the sake of these two children, it is better to be more thoughtful. Mr. Fang said something right that day: Don’t laugh at parents who are crazy and wander around for their children, that’s true.”
Mrs. Wang's appearance made Fang Zilan feel a little emotional. Even the most powerful parents would do anything for their children. She then respectfully bowed her fists and said loudly: "Since Mrs. Wang has spoken, Fang Zilan should take responsibility for it." Obey."
Her hair is decorated with diamonds, she wears a rosy crown, her eyebrows are dotted and her lips are draped in a phoenix robe.
Fang Zilan and Mrs. Wang worked together with the maids and servants for several hours, until the sound of firecrackers outside Wang's house at dawn, Wang Quanzhi personally stood at the door to send the two daughters to the sedan, and Fang Zilan had time to carefully look at the people in the mirror. Both of them have eyes like stars, lips like red vermillion, skin like gelatin, aura like orchids, and eyebrows that are furrowed. They are so beautiful that people can't take their eyes away.
Mrs. Wang on the side took the red hijab and handed one of them to Fang Zilan's hand.
The two of them covered the two girls with their own hands at the same time. Fang Zilan helped Lingli stand up, led her to the door, and handed her hand into Wang Quanzhi's.
Wang Quanzhi nodded in thanks and said, "Thank you very much, Mr. Lao Fang."
Fang Zilan waved her hand to signal to Wang Quanzhi that there was no need to be polite, and walked to the wedding hall in the front hall with Awan who had been waiting outside, preparing to watch the wedding ceremony with all the guests.
According to the rules, the two newlyweds will leave for the groom's home after the wedding ceremony at Wang's house. Therefore, Fang Zilan did not want to disturb the two daughters' farewells to their elders and went to the wedding hall in advance.
Before all the guests had arrived, she rested for a while, and then chatted with the guests who came to Wang's house for a wedding banquet.
After all, the only people who could come to the Wang family to watch the ceremony were famous families from the eighteen cities of Yanzhou. Zhong Yao and Huang Fulin also came, so she didn't dare to neglect them.
Before everyone could exchange a few words, they saw that the two groomsmen had arrived and were welcomed in by members of the Wang family.
Fang Zilan saw Fang Lihui next to the groom from a distance across the crowd, and nodded to him, but saw the triumphant look in his eyes, and couldn't help but smile and shake his head.
Here, the two daughters of the wedding hall also came in with the support of Wang Quanzhi and Mrs. Wang. After the elders took their seats, the newlyweds and emcees took their seats one after another, and the wedding ceremony, a rare event in Yanzhou, began.
"First bow to the heaven and earth, second bow to the high hall..." The master of ceremony's voice was loud and full of energy.
Fang Zilan lowered her head slightly. She suddenly felt a little lonely at this time. This was a day that many girls were looking forward to, but unfortunately she was thinking that she might never have such a day in her life.
Fang Zilan's expression gradually dimmed, and she smiled a little self-deprecatingly. She took the jug on the table and poured a glass of wine. Just as she was about to drink it all, Awan snatched the glass away from her, "You're still injured, so you can't drink."
Fang Zilan glanced at Awan helplessly, but quietly and obediently retracted her hand.
With the crackling sound of firecrackers and the sound of "it's done", this grand wedding ceremony of a wealthy family finally took a short break.
Just as everyone was congratulating each other and toasting to the Wang family, a figure in armor suddenly broke into everyone's sight, and with an anxious and loud voice, Mr. Fang, everyone present was startled.
