Chapter 325: The Past
Chapter 325 The Past
When the two saw that it was Fang Zilan, they immediately shivered and said, "But... it's just a chat... Lord Fang doesn't have to remember it in his heart."
"I can't remember it in my heart." Fang Zilan glanced at the two people in front of her, and her eyes fell on one of them. "As long as you tell me, when you learned about Miss Fang Er's engagement, I will pretend that nothing happened today."
"This..." The man hesitated for a moment and finally said, "My Lord Hui Fang, I have a cousin in the Ouyang family as a concubine. She heard Miss Ouyang Zirou say a few days ago. When she returned to her parents' home, she mentioned it and I knew that."
Fang Zilan frowned slightly, "Why did Miss Fang Er get engaged, why did Miss Ouyang Zirou know?"
"Mr. Fang doesn't know that Miss Ouyang Zirou and Miss Fang Er are handkerchiefs, and they have a very good relationship." After saying that, the man glanced at Fang Zilan tremblingly and said carefully: "Mr. Fang, can I leave?"
"Let's go." Fang Zilan waved her hand and signaled that the two of them could leave. "Do work well and don't chat."
The two of them ran quickly with oil on their feet, leaving Fang Zilan alone to stay there thoughtfully. If the news was true, Fang Zitong wanted to get engaged with Pei Xiaoze, she could go to the Fang family of the Prime Minister's Mansion in the name of congratulations.
On the same day, Fang Zilan returned from the government office and found Xiao Xuan'er alone, "Miss Xiao, I have something to do and I want to ask you for help."
Xiao Xuan'er nodded slightly and said, "Mr. Fang, you don't need to be polite, but it's okay to say it."
"I heard that Fang Zitong, the second lady of the Fang family, was going to get engaged with Lord Pei Xiaoze. I would like to ask you to help me confirm whether this matter is true." As soon as Fang Zilan finished speaking, she saw Xiao Xuan'er nodding, "This matter is true."
Fang Zilan couldn't help but be stunned, "Miss Xiao has known about this for a long time?"
"Yes." Xiao Xuan'er explained: "The people in Wanhua Building naturally know about the Fang family earlier than others. A few days ago, I heard that the elder of the Fang family was very dissatisfied. The Prime Minister and Young Master Fang Lihui were summoned for several days, but there was no conclusion yet, but..."
She didn't continue to say that, Fang Zilan said, "With the character of the second lady of the Fang family, if you decide that someone is, you must marry. How can you stop the elder of the Fang family just by relying on the elders?"
"Mr. Fang said this, but it is inappropriate to hide a maid in Master Pei's mansion. It is not appropriate to spoil the concubine before his mistress." Xiao Xuan'er said with a frown: "I am afraid that the high-ranking family of the Fang Mansion will never tolerate it."
"What do you mean is that if Lord Pei wants to marry the second lady of the Fang family, he must expel the maid from the mansion first?" Fang Zilan frowned slightly, and Xiao Xuan'er sighed lightly, "It's all light to expel from the mansion. If the family is clean and upright, it's unknown if it's a stick to death."
Fang Zilan took a deep breath, "In this way, although news of engagement has been heard, the engagement may be postponed for a long time?"
Xiao Xuan'er responded, and couldn't help asking: "Why did Lord Fang suddenly care about Miss Fang Er's marriage?"
"I plan to go to the Prime Minister's Mansion recently, but I have no name." Fang Zilan said frankly: "If Miss Fang Er gets engaged, I will have name."
"Mr. Fang and Prime Minister have never had any contact. If you want to visit the Prime Minister's Mansion..." Xiao Xuan'er suddenly remembered something and said, "After New Year's Eve, the banquet will be held in the first lunar month, so Lord. Fang can visit the Prime Minister's Mansion openly."
Fang Zilan slapped her forehead and said, "The banquet in the first lunar month is here, why did I forget this?"
"Master Fang has many things to do, how could he bother me to remember such trivial matters?" Xiao Xuan'er smiled slightly, and Fang Zilan said gratefully: "Thank you for the reminder of Miss Xiao, but please pay attention to Miss Fang Er's engagement."
"Okay." Xiao Xuan'er agreed and said, "My Lord Fang, you asked my lady to check the past of Miss Awan's master, Wen Ya, before, and you have found it."
"So quickly?" A hint of surprise flashed in Fang Zilan's eyes, but she saw that Xiao Xuan'er's expression was rare and cold. "It's related to my son-in-law, so it's naturally very fast."
Fang Zilan's expression became a little serious, "You said, Wen Ya's past is related to Brother Wan?"
"Yes." Xiao Xuan'er said word by word: "Wen Ya, whose original name is Xu Ya, is a disciple of the medicine god Xu Yaoshi, and my son-in-law's senior brother."
Fang Zilan felt that the name Xu Ya was a little familiar, but she couldn't remember where she had seen it for a moment. She just asked in confusion: "It's rumored that Xu Yaoshi only had one disciple, Brother Wan, where did Wen Ya come from?"
"Wen Ya was an orphan since she was a child. She was picked up by Xu Yaoshi and recognized her as her adopted son. She named her "Xu Yishi" Xiao Xuan'er calmed down and started from the beginning. "At that time, Xu Yaoshi was still a wandering doctor in the martial arts world. In a war between the previous dynasty and Baiyue, he was rescued by General Pingnan, the King of Pingnan, the general of Zhenbei, and in order to repay his kindness, he followed the army to become a military doctor."
Fang Zilan recalled what Awan said to her before, and said, "I heard that Pharmacist Xu is not only skilled in medical skills, but also has great martial arts skills. How could he..."
She was only half of her words, but Xiao Xuan'er understood it. "The war is so cruel. Only Lord Fang's skills can save his life, let alone Master Xu's baby carrying a baby? However, Xu's heroic swordsman was also recorded in the previous dynasty. According to legend, he used thousands of people to fight tens of thousands of Baiyue Light Cavalry. After three days and three nights, he stood up until reinforcements arrived."
"Master Xu, is his name Xu Aman?" Fang Zilan stared at Xiao Xuan'er tightly, and saw her look surprised, "How could you know?Master Xu doesn't like this name, so no one has ever called him like this."
"It's not that no one has called it." Fang Zilan lowered her eyes and said, "The people who have called it have all passed away."
At this moment, she finally remembered where she had seen Xu Ya's name. That night in the Bogu Palace, one of the passages she read was about Xu Aman and his accompanying medicine boy Xu Ya.
At that time, she just glanced at random and did not associate these two with Xu Yaoshi and Wen Ya. But now looking back, she was brave and good at using medicine, and she was not as good as Baiyue Miluo. Isn’t it just about Wen Ya’s way of doing things? This is the case for disciples, let alone master?
"Mr. Fang?" Xiao Xuan'er waved her hand in front of Fang Zilan, and then she came to her senses, "I'm fine, you can continue talking."
Xiao Xuan'er said slowly: "Later, the previous dynasty was destroyed, and General Pingnan, the King of Zhenbei, was buried in the deep sea of Yuedi. Most of his generals scattered. It was at that time that Xu Yaoshi arrived at Wanhua Villa. At that time, Wanhua Villa was unable to support him, so he relied on Xu Yaoshi to support the storefront. Because it was too hard, Xu Ya was still young and couldn't stand it, so he came up with the idea of surrendering to the royal family of the previous dynasty. But Xu Yaoshi was unwilling to get involved in disputes, so he did not agree with this idea."
Fang Zilan said strangely: "Since Master Xu did not agree, how did Xu Ya enter the Ghost Sect? He changed his name to Wen Ya?"
"Some people are born poisonous snakes. Even if they keep him in the sun and treat him well, they will still show their vicious side." Xiao Xuan'er's voice became colder, "Xu Ya is such a person."
Fang Zilan's heart tightened, "What does it mean?"
