Chapter 412 News

After Fang Zilan returned to the mansion from the suburbs of Beijing, she rested for several days. Because she was injured in public, no one dared to say anything, and she was asking about her well-being. For a moment, her mansion was crowded and very lively.

During this period, she got two news from Xiao Xuan'er-

One is the sister who sold to a wealthy family as a concubine and was driven crazy after the Lord's death. Her identity is not simple, but she is the daughter of Huanshi in the previous dynasty.

She has heard of Huanshi's daughter. Huanshi is not a surname, but a unified name for this type of woman. They have no names but are beautiful, and are female slaves specially raised by royal nobles to seek pleasure, so they were named Huanshi's daughter.

After the demise of the previous dynasty, most of the Huanshi girls were missing, and it was reasonable to sell them by people. However, if Cong Rong's fake parents who sold humans had Huanshi girls on their hands, Cong Rong... had a very good appearance. Is it possible that she was also a Huanshi girls?

However, after she proposed this idea, Mo Han and Xiao Xuan'er denied it. This sister was proposed by Cong Rong herself. She knew she would be in trouble even though she knew she would be investigated. She was so stupid that she didn't act like a person who could pretend for so long without any flaws.

So there was no clue about Cong Rong, so she simply asked Xiao Xuan'er to take some effort to check Cong Rong's fake parents who sold humans, and list all the people they had sold, and check them one by one.

As for another news, it is related to the debate on the Taoist debate on the first day of next month. It is said that Master Randeng, the abbot of Zhongling Temple in Jiangnan, will also come. This master is as famous as Master Leyuan's master, echoing from south to north, and now he is about to enter the capital.

After hearing the news, Fang Zilan's heart couldn't help but sink.

Under the gaze of everyone, once Master Leyuan makes a mistake, even if it is just a small flaw, it will be infinitely magnified. If there is a slight mistake, it will be ruined.

After several days of continuous visit, Xiao Xuan'er saw Fang Zilan worried, so she revealed another news to her.

"Actually, Master Randeng once owed my son-in-law a favor." Xiao Xuan'er pursed her lips, looking a little unnatural. "The floods in the south were affected the Zhongling Temple, and many monks were killed and injured. If the son-in-law had not arrived in time to help, he would have lost more monks."

Fang Zilan listened quietly and said for a while: "So Master Randeng made some promises to Brother Wan?"

"That's right." Xiao Xuan'er hesitated: "Master Randeng once said that if there are any difficulties in the future, as long as he speaks with him, he will definitely respond. It's just..."

She paused, and glanced at Fang Zilan's expression and said, "The way of debate should be open and upright, let alone repaying the favor is not a gentleman. If someone accidentally finds out, I'm afraid..."

She didn't say anything, and Fang Zilan still had a gloomy face, "I know. This is Brother Wan's favor, I won't abuse it."

"I..." Xiao Xuan'er's red lips slightly opened, but she swallowed the words behind her back.

"Miss Xiao, I won't make you embarrassed." Fang Zilan's expression was a little slow and said solemnly: "No matter what, thank you for telling me about this."

Xiao Xuan'er breathed a sigh of relief. Before she could say a polite word, she saw Cao Hong knocking on the door and walking in.

"Old Cao, why are you going to my house to do if you don't prepare for a wedding ceremony?" Fang Zilan frowned, "The next day is a happy day. According to custom, the bride and groom cannot meet each other three days before."

Cao Hongqi Ai Ai said: "Boss, I'm not here to meet the embroiderer..."

Seeing this, Xiao Xuan'er wanted to get up and say goodbye. Cao Hong hurriedly said, "Miss Xiao, please stay here, I want to hear your opinions too."

Hearing this, Xiao Xuan'er sat back, but saw Cao Hong touching the back of his head, and there was no further information for a while.

"Old Cao, just say what you have to do, what are you doing?" Fang Zilan lost her patience, Cao Hong hesitated and said: "Wedding ceremony, why not forget it..."

Before he finished speaking, Fang Zilan sternly said: "What are you talking about?"

"No, boss, listen to me..." Cao Hong explained: "There are a lot of trouble in the capital recently. Boss, you are injured and recuperating again. I think maybe..."

"Old Cao, tell the truth." Fang Zilan interrupted him coldly, and he sighed and said, "I knew this kind of remarks would definitely not be hidden from the boss."

"This set of rhetoric?" Fang Zilan thought for a moment and said, "Did Miss Bai ask you to say these words?"

Cao Hong nodded, "The embroidered lady said that except for the boss, there will definitely be no other guests on our wedding ceremony. Moreover, if you are so fucked, I'm afraid you and me will make a lot of gossip for you and me, after all, she..." He bit his lip, and the two words "Widow" could not be said as if it were any.

"The gossip has been spread long ago. Is it because of your wedding ceremony?" Fang Zilan said helplessly: "My injuries are not serious. You can go so far in the capital camp. Your mansion is so close, what can I not go? Or do you don't want me to go?"

"Boss, I don't mean that." Cao Hong looked at Xiao Xuan'er as if asking for help, but saw her smiling and said, "General Cao, your intention to marry Miss Bai is precious, so you can deserve a grand wedding. Life is something you have to live by yourself. As long as you are comfortable and happy, it doesn't bother others, what do you want to do so much?"

"Miss Xiao's words are right, and I'm worth a cup of respect for you." Fang Zilan's eyes were full of praise, and Xiao Xuan'er smiled even more. "Mr. Fang, have you forgotten that you are injured?"

"It's okay to use tea instead of wine." Fang Zilan waved her hand and poured three cups of tea. She took one and handed the other two to Xiao Xuan'er and Cao Hong.

"Old Cao, the wedding ceremony will be as lively as possible." Fang Zilan said and patted Cao Hong on the shoulder, "It's just that others don't come. Anyway, it's better for marriage, relatives and friends to be present, and the rest is not important."

"Okay." Cao Hong nodded heavily, picked up the teacup and drank it all, and so did Fang Zilan and Xiao Xuan'er.

On the day of marriage, in addition to Fang Zilan and the people in her house, a rare guest was also there.

Fang Zilan looked at it from a distance and felt that the noble lady looked familiar. Xiao Xuan'er leaned into her ear and said, "This is the wife of Lord Wang Quanrui, the Minister of Rites."

"Madam Wang?" Fang Zilan raised her eyebrows and took the initiative to meet her.

The Ministry of Rites is the most respectful place for Dajing. The Minister of Rites Wang Quanrui is the most polite person in Dajing. His wife was present in person, which gave Cao Hong enough face. I think after today, those who often gossip as Bai Xiniang can calm down. But...

Fang Zilan chatted with Mrs. Wang with a smile, while secretly wondering why Wang Quanrui sold her face. She did not say much about the ranking on New Year's Eve. Wang Quanrui had no need to make such a thing, and it took several months to come to her to please her.

But if it is either a bribe, there is something to ask for. Recently, the major events in Beijing were related to the Ministry of Rites, only Master Leyuan's argument for the Taoist debate. I heard that Li Shengxuan arranged for the Ministry of Rites to entertain all the monks who entered Beijing, but what does this have to do with her?

Fang Zilan was puzzled, and Mrs. Wang never mentioned anything. It was not until the wedding ceremony that Mrs. Wang suddenly remembered something and took out an invitation.

"Mr. Fang, look at my memory." Mrs. Wang smiled and put the invitation in Fang Zilan's hand. "There is a flower party in our mansion on the second day of next month. It was held to celebrate the complete discussion of Master Yuan's Taoism and debate. It has invited famous gates in the capital. Lord Fang wants to enjoy the glory."

Fang Zilan glanced at the invitation in her hand and said to Master Yuan’s argument and defense. Wang Quanrui actually asked his wife to prepare for the celebration flower party so early. What medicine is he selling in this gourd?

"Mr. Fang?" Mrs. Wang smiled, obviously waiting for her to reply, so she nodded and said, "Thank you for your invitation, Madam, I will go to the appointment on time."

Fang Zilan: It’s a debate on Taoism and a flower party, it seems that there is a lot of fun to watch.
