Wang Ye picked up the tea cup with his left hand, gently opened the tea lid with his right hand, and blew a few more breaths. The steam was rolling.
He chuckled twice and suddenly said: "My nephew has changed so much in the past few days. If I hadn't seen it with my own eyes, I wouldn't have recognized him..."
Lu Fang's heart trembled slightly, now he was getting to the point.
He chuckled and said: "In the past, I just wanted to be clean and peaceful, so I pretended to be crazy. I didn't expect that some people really thought of me as a fool and wanted to kill me. I can't continue to pretend. Uncle Wang, do you think this is the case?"
reason?"
As he said that, he glanced at Wang Sidong who was opposite.
Wang Sidong's heart was beating fast. He raised his head and met Lu Fang's eyes that seemed to be smiling but not smiling. He quickly lowered his head again.
He may not be the mastermind behind Liang Siqi's incident, but it is certainly impossible to say he was unaware of it.
Wang also saw all this in his eyes, and his expression did not change. "My nephew said it politely. This person is always easy to be bullied if he doesn't show his edge."
"A good person will be bullied by others, and a good horse will be ridden by others!"
Lu Fang said as if sighing.
The king was stunned for a moment, then he put his hands on his hands and said, "I heard that my nephew's words are true. This kind of knowledge makes me, a big old man, feel ashamed!"
Wang Yeyan's eyes were bright and she glanced at her father, shyly.
The Wang and Lu families were at odds, so she invited Lu Fang to the poetry banquet, and she had asked Wang Ye for advice. She believed that Wang Ye understood her little daughter's thoughts.
Wang Ye didn't know if he caught a glimpse of his daughter's eyes, but he just said: "Although my Ye Yan is a girl, she is good at poetry and writing at a young age. If my nephew is free, he will come to my house more often in the future."
The meaning of this is obvious.
Lu Fang nodded, grinning and showing his white teeth, "Thank you, Uncle Wang. Our two families should be closer to each other."
Wang Yeyan's pretty face turned red.
However, while drinking tea, no one understood what they were saying.
When it's time to eat, head to the dining room.
The servants have already prepared the food and wine.
Several people sat down separately.
Wang Ye said to Lu Fang: "My dear nephew, how many drinks will you have with me?"
Without thinking, Wang Yeyan said: "Dad, Mr. Lu drank a lot at the poetry meeting. Please don't let him drink anymore."
It seems as if she has assumed the role of Lu Fang's fiancée.
Not to mention the king, even Lu Fang himself was a little confused.
Wang Yeyan also quickly woke up and realized that what she said was inappropriate, so she quickly made up for it: "Otherwise, the county magistrate will blame us for getting his brother drunk."
"Ha ha!"
Wang Ye laughed and said, "You are right."
Then he looked at Lu Fang, "Xiannephew, what do you say?"
Lu Fang only said: "If Uncle Wang is in the mood for drinking, it's okay for me to have a few drinks with him."
"good!"
Wang Ye said: "Then let's have a few drinks!"
As he spoke, he poured wine for Lu Fang himself.
During the banquet, no one talked about the affairs between Lu Fang and Wang Yeyan. They only talked about gossip, but it seemed that there was no longer any dispute between the Wang and Lu families.
Only Wang Sidong felt a little uneasy.
He knew full well that what he and He Chengcai did must have been seen through by Lu Fang. Today, He Chengcai was taken care of by Lu Fang.
And depending on Lu Fang’s character, he might not give up there.
Although Lu Fang is peaceful at the moment, who knows if Lu Fang will cause trouble for him in the future?
This guy is hiding too deep.
Unknowingly, Wang Sidong didn't even realize that he was already deeply wary of Lu Fang, and could even be said to be afraid.
After the banquet, Wang Ye took Lu Fang to the main hall to have tea.
After a while, Lu Fang stood up and left.
His purpose of coming to the Wang family has almost been achieved. Judging from Wang Ye's current attitude, he should not be in trouble with Lu Liang again.
Although the matter between himself and Wang Yeyan was not stated explicitly, he knew it in his heart. It's just that this kind of thing needs to be done carefully.
Lu Fang wished that the king was not in a hurry. He had no intention of marrying Wang Yeyan into the family, even though Wang Yeyan didn't look as bad as he thought before.
"Ye Yan, Dong'er, please send nephew Lu Xian off."
When Lu Fang stood up to say goodbye, Wang did not try to persuade him to stay, he just clapped his hands.
Butler Wang came in carrying a wooden tray covered with red cloth and placed it in front of Wang Ye.
Wang also opened the red cloth, and there was a stack of banknotes inside. The face value of the top one was one hundred taels, and at a glance, there were probably twenty banknotes.
Wang Ye picked up the banknotes and handed them to Lu Fang.
Lu Fang was stunned on purpose, then chuckled and said, "Uncle Wang, what do you mean?"
Wang Ye said: "You, Uncle Wang, and I are a rough man, and all I have left is money. You brought a gift to Ye Yan, and Uncle Wang responded with this gift. My nephew, please don't think that Uncle Wang is vulgar."
"This is impossible."
Lu Fang shook his head and said: "How much is my gift? Uncle Wang, your gift is too heavy this time. I can't bear it. If you take it back, my brother will have to cut me."
"This is my gift in return. What does it have to do with the county magistrate?"
Wang Ye smiled and put the banknotes directly into Lu Fang's hand, "From now on, it will be good for you and Dong'er to get closer and closer."
Lu Fang glanced at Wang Sidong, who was silent next to him, "If that's the case, that nephew is really rude."
He stuffed the banknotes directly into his wallet.
The money bag suddenly bulged.
Don’t want it for nothing!
He knew that this was Wang Ye's compensation for Wang Sidong and He Chengcai's previous conspiracy to kill him. In fact, to put it bluntly, it was He Zhengci and Wang Ye who probably came up with the idea.
Neither of them thought that they would survive the disaster and suddenly become famous.
Wang Ye wanted to turn the hostility into friendship with him.
Also, in terms of official positions, He Zhengci was not as good as Lu Liang, and now in terms of talent and learning, He Chengcai was not as good as himself, so what reason did the king have not to choose himself?
Lu Fang also had his own plans in mind.
If he doesn't accept the money, Wang Ye will definitely feel that he is unwilling to let it go, and will be determined to continue to collude with He Zhengci, and it will be his brother Lu Liang who will be harmed.
Let’s take care of the He family and his son first.
When the He family falls, even if the king regrets it, he will be unable to survive alone.
The poor should not fight with the rich, and the rich should not fight with the officials. This is a wise saying.
"You're welcome, you're welcome."
Wang Yelian said.
Then, siblings Wang Yeyan and Wang Sidong sent Lu Fang and Ning'er out.
Arriving at the gate of the Wang family, Wang Yeyan pursed her lips and looked at Lu Fang, and suddenly said: "Mr. Lu, can you please excuse me for a moment?"
Lu Fang was really stunned this time.
He didn't know what Wang Yeyan wanted to say to him.
Then he nodded and followed Wang Yeyan to the side.
Stopping under a large camphor tree outside the Wang Family Courtyard, Wang Yeyan looked at Lu Fang with bright eyes and said softly: "Mr. Lu, in a few days, are you really going to the Xu Family for a meeting?"
Lu Fang could clearly see some jealousy and worry in her eyes.
