The days flew by in a blink of an eye. While recuperating, Fang Zilan was looking for a match for the girl in the backyard. In just a few days, she got married to several in-laws, and several weddings were made grandly, from collecting betrothal gifts and dowries, to hosting wedding guests and banquets, and making arrangements. lively.
Everyone in Yanzhou City, from the dignitaries to the common people, knew that the Lord of the Northern Territory was looking for a good son-in-law for the girl in the house, and they rushed to recommend themselves. For a while, the Fang Mansion was crowded, and those who wanted to marry each other and gave gifts almost walked through the Fang Mansion. threshold.
Seeing that the New Year was approaching, all the houses in Yanzhou sent greeting cards, and Fang Zilan's first New Year in the north began.
On New Year's Eve, according to the tradition in the north, she had a banquet with Zhong Yao, Wang Quanzhi and other adults. During the dinner, she also met Lu Tang's uncle Lu Zhizhang.
However, within one meeting, Lu Zhizhang claimed to be unwell and left the table early.
Qi Yuming also sat there for a while and then said he wanted to go back home to prepare for the New Year's Eve, and Fang Zilan let him go.
As for Huangfulin, she guessed it right and was called back to Qiankun Palace by Li Shengxuan to report on his duties during the New Year.
She was not surprised when she heard it. Wang Quanzhi was afraid that she would feel uncomfortable and explained a few more words, saying that many relatives of the Huangfu family lived in the capital, and Huangfulin returned to the capital every year to celebrate the New Year, but she laughed it off. Didn't take it to heart.
After the banquet, Fang Zilan hurried back to the house.
As soon as she returned home, she saw two children, A Wan and Shangguan Min, setting off fireworks in the courtyard. They were jumping to their feet from the cold and shouting about who could set off the more beautiful fireworks.
In the night sky, colorful and gorgeous fireworks come and go.
Fireworks bloomed in the dark sky, and the scattered petals drew graceful arcs, eventually turning into bits of debris and scattered around the world, as if the afterglow of stars were extremely bright.
The real fireworks never sleep.
Fang Zilan stood at the door of the courtyard and watched. She felt a slight warmth rushing through her body, and her internal organs were felt very comfortable.
It wouldn't be bad if he spent his whole life like this in the north.
Vice General Cao lifted the curtain and came out of the front hall. He was about to call Awan and Shangguanmin back to the house to eat dumplings. When he turned around, he saw Fang Zilan standing in the snow outside the courtyard.
"Boss!" He ran to Fang Zilan in three steps at a time, "You are back, and Lao Li is back too. Everyone is waiting for you to come back and eat dumplings."
"It's dark and the ground is slippery, Lao Cao, please slow down." Fang Zilan shook the snow off his cloak and said loudly, "Awan, Shangguan Min, go home and eat dumplings."
A Wan and Shangguan Min who were setting off fireworks in the courtyard were startled when Fang Zilan shouted. The word "go home" was like the warm sunshine of spring, gently breaking the ice in their hearts and turning all the depression in their hearts into a pool. The spring water flows slowly and peacefully.
"That's great." Shangguan Min's eyes turned red involuntarily.
Fang Zilan walked up to him and knocked him on the head gently, "What are you thinking about, young man? His eyes are red."
"I didn't." Shangguan Min hurriedly argued, but Fang Zilan took out a brocade box from his sleeve and stuffed it into his hand, "Master Zhong asked me to give this to you. Happy New Year, Shangguan Min."
Shangguan Min held the brocade box in his hands. It was extremely precious and he said happily: "Happy New Year, Mr. Fang."
Awan on the side stamped her feet dissatisfiedly, "Master Zhong is so kind to you."
"Why do I smell sour?" Fang Zilan smiled and shook her head, "Our Awan's gift has been prepared a long time ago."
"That's pretty much it." A Wanxi took Fang Zilan's hand with a smile, "Let's go back to the house and eat dumplings."
"Okay." Fang Zilan looked at the two children in front of her lovingly, and led them into the house one by one.
In the room, Vice General Li was standing in front of the table setting the dishes and chopsticks. He saw a few people coming in and hurriedly greeted them to sit down. Everyone was enjoying the reunion dinner in full swing.
New Year's Eve has passed and the first month has entered. Fang Zilan's house has a group of people coming to pay New Year greetings every day. Awan is happy to receive red envelopes, but Fang Zilan only finds it troublesome to receive and send people all day long.
So after two days of this, Fang Zilan finally couldn't bear the disturbance and took A Wan, Shangguan Min and Deputy General Cao to live in the military camp on the fifth day of the Lunar New Year.
Awan was not idle when she arrived in the army, running around and having a lot of fun. Today she learned archery from Shangguan Min, and tomorrow she learned two moves of boxing and kicking from Deputy General Cao, so Fang Zilan just let her go.
As for the marriages of the women in the house, after the first month, she went back to arrange several marriages, and then she married nearly half of the women in the house.
In the blink of an eye, spring came and flowers bloomed. Zhong Yao and Lu Zhizhang were busy building the Northern Protectorate Palace, but Fang Zilan was still busy arranging all the women in the palace. During this period, Qi Yuming visited her several times and laughed at her and said she could do it. Matchmaker.
Fang Zilan was so angry that her teeth were itching, but she couldn't do anything to Qi Yuming. She could only groan angrily: "Master Qi has fallen in love with some girl. Do you want me to help arrange a marriage?"
"If I really fall in love with any girl, I will be the first to tell Mr. Fang." Qi Yuming chatted with her while helping her read the roster, and said helplessly: "I said Mr. Fang, that's about right. You are the boss of the house. A woman is too picky when choosing a husband.”
"What do you know? Marrying a woman is a big deal. If she marries the wrong man, she may have to pay for it for the rest of her life." Fang Zilan took the roster in Qi Yuming's hand, "Don't delay here, go to Mr. Zhong's place." Help me keep an eye on him and don’t let Mr. Lu cause any trouble for him.”
"If you marry the wrong man, it's just a divorce. It's not a big deal." Qi Yuming looked at the serious Fang Zilan with some humor. She put down the list in her hand and looked at Qi Yuming steadily, "Master Qi, it's really easy to talk while standing. "
Qi Yuming's lips curled up slightly, "Master Fang, I am sitting down to talk now, so naturally I don't have back pain."
Fang Zilan couldn't help but clenched her fists. Ever since she got acquainted with Qi Yuming, she found that he was a sharp-tongued person with a very cold temperament.
"Most of the people who suffer from Heli are women, and the ones who are criticized when they go out are also women, so I ask Master Qi to be careful when speaking." After saying that, she picked up the roster on the table and left the yard without looking back, leaving only Qi Yuming froze on the spot alone.
Are most of the losers women?
Time flies, spring turns to summer solstice in a blink of an eye, Fang Zilan finally marries off all the women in his house, and Zhong Yao's Beiduhu Mansion is about to be completed, and everything is proceeding in an orderly manner.
However, at this juncture, Huangfulin came from Pingshan City several times. First, he opposed Qi Yuming's appointment as the Protector. Later, seeing that the opposition was fruitless, he came to Fang Zilan every two days to tell how smart his nephew Huangfuchen was. He was so capable that Fang Zilan finally accepted Huangfuchen's position as Deputy Protector.
