A few people went all the way inside and went straight to the last courtyard where Old Man Xu lived. Old Man Xu and Master Bai Yan sat down on the Taishi chair in the middle of the hall, while Fang Yang sat on the chair on the side, Xu Zhiyuan was busy Zhang Luo, instructing the housekeeping staff to serve tea and snacks.

Master Bai Yan picked up the teacup, gently rushed the tea leaves with the lid of the cup, and then took a sip slowly, and after a while, Bai Yan put down the teacup and stroked his beard and smiled:

"Sure enough, it's the big red robe on those trees! Mr. Xu, I'm really here this time, I can taste such a superb tea, it's really worth the trip! ”

Xu Lao also picked up the teacup and took a sip of tea, and then said with a smile:

"Master Bai, if you like it, I'll ask someone to pack a few taels for you to take away in a while, and I can't afford to give you more, just a little bit every year!"

Master Bai Yan was immediately overjoyed, and said with a smile:

"That's a good idea! Old Xu, you are much more generous than Lao Fang. I went to his place just to drink a glass of this big red robe, and he picked and searched for it, let alone let me take some away! ”

The old Fang in Master Bai Yan's mouth is Fang Yang's grandfather in his previous life, the old man of the Fang family's Dinghai God Needle Fang Qianqian, Master Bai Yan has a lot of friendship with him, so he speaks a lot more casually. However, Fang Yang always felt a little strange when he thought of the majestic grandfather in his previous life, who was described by the teacher as a stingy old man.

At this time, Xu Zhiyuan stepped forward and said to Master Bai Yan with a respectful face:

"Master Bai, you took the time to attend the little girl's birthday banquet and personally brought Mobao, which really makes me feel a little panicked! The little girl He De can not be so important to Mr. ”

As Xu Qingya's father, Xu Zhiyuan came forward to express his gratitude, which is also the most basic courtesy.

Master Bai Yan smiled lightly, waved his hand and said:

"Mayor Xu is serious, I'm just a bad old man who likes to join in the fun. Ling Ai is a good woman, and the four-word comment of 'clever smile' is very suitable for her! ”

Fang Yang's eyes rolled, and he suddenly interjected:

"Teacher, I think it's a little inappropriate for you to use the 'smiling and beautiful' Zhuang Jiang to compare Sister Qingya!"

Old Man Xu and Xu Zhiyuan's eyes suddenly focused on Fang Yang's body, and said in their hearts that this young man was quite bold, and Master Bai Yan was willing to personally deliver the words, which had already given him a lot of face, and he actually dared to question the teacher......

Master Bai Yan didn't feel embarrassed at all, but there was a hint of appreciation in his eyes, he looked at Fang Yang with a smile and said:

"Xiao Fangyang, then you should tell me, what's wrong here?"

Fang Yang read the encouragement from Master Bai Yan's eyes, and he was even more sure in his heart, knowing that the teacher must have done it on purpose, so he sorted out his thoughts a little and said confidently:

"Old Xu, teacher, Mayor Xu, Zhuang Jiang is a famous beauty in history, she is the princess of Qi State, and later married Wei Zhuang Gong, she is of noble birth, and she is married to the monarch, so it is said that she should be very happy. But what about the facts? Wei Zhuang Gong has a violent temper and treats Zhuang Jiang very indifferently, which can be said to be a typical tragic political marriage. ”

Fang Yang paused, took a sip and continued:

"However, Zhuang Jiang and Sister Qingya's temperament is similar, both are soft on the outside and rigid on the inside. That's why Zhuang Jiang is reluctant to flatter and Wei Zhuanggong, so that he lives alone for life. 'If you don't answer, you will end up childless, and the people will be worried. This short number comment can be said to contain the tears of Zhuang Jiang's life! A woman who has never experienced love, no matter how beautiful and beautiful, is just a bouquet of plastic flowers, neither vivid nor fragrant: the slender fingers like soft wattles can only grasp the loneliness of dusk; With neat and white teeth like gourd seeds, how much loneliness have you chewed? And the black and white beautiful eyes, watching the red face fade day by day, will there be a trace of panic? ”

When he heard this, the expression on Xu Zhiyuan's face became a little richer, he was also full of poetry and books, so he naturally knew the meaning implied by Fang Yang, and he was slightly unhappy in his heart, but because of the presence of Master Bai Yan, he was not easy to scold.

And after Old Man Xu heard these words, he showed a thoughtful expression.

Fang Yang saw the expressions of both of them, he smiled, and then said:

"So, is it a little inappropriate for the teacher to compare the bitter Zhuang Jiang to Sister Qingya?"

Master Bai Yan laughed, stretched out his hand and pointed at Fang Yang, and said:

"Xiao Fang Yang, Xiao Fang Yang! I can't believe you know so much about this history! Ha ha! In that case, I owe it to the old man! ”

Xu Zhiyuan smiled and said:

"Master Bai, although what the disciple said is very reasonable, but modern people rarely care about this history, the word 'Qiaoxiao Qianxi' is more simply used to describe a woman's beautiful smile, so you use it is still very appropriate!"

After saying this, Xu Zhiyuan glanced at Fang Yang again, and then said meaningfully:

And the happiness of the marriage depends more on the communication between the husband and wife, which has nothing to do with the family background. There is also an old saying: 'Poor and lowly couples mourn everything'! The marriage of the right family is still more positive. For example, my third sister and brother-in-law, haven't they been in love for more than 20 years? ”

Xu Zhiyuan's words were deliberately said to Old Man Xu. Although Xu Zhiyuan has been in charge of the major and minor affairs of the Xu family over the years, if Old Man Xu makes a statement, it must be absolute authority, and Xu Zhiyuan does not dare to disobey, so as soon as he noticed Fang Yang's implied intentions, he immediately refuted it.

This marriage with the Fan family, Xu Zhiyuan absolutely cannot afford to lose. For many years, the Xu family has been quite indisputable under the control of Old Man Xu, and among the major families, the Xu family has always been quite low-key. On the one hand, this makes the Xu family not like the Fang and Fan families, but on the other hand, it also directly leads to the strength of the Xu family is always in the middle of the stream, and it is not up or down.

After Xu Zhiyuan took control of the Xu family, he has been committed to changing this situation. And this opportunity has recently arisen. That is, the old man Han's body is about to be unable to hold on, the political concepts of the Han family and the Fang family are different, the two families have had several frictions, large and small, and the Fan family has been trying to win over the Han family but has not been able to get it, and there are many small political families around the Han family, which are faintly self-contained.

It is almost foreseeable that once Old Man Han leaves the West, the Han family's power will suffer a heavy setback. Although the Fang family and the Fan family are on the same page, in the matter of dividing up the territory of the Han family, the two families will inevitably have a tacit understanding. And Xu Zhiyuan tried his best to promote the marriage of the Fan and Xu families at this moment, in order to gain something from the feast of sharing the cake in the near future.

So in the matter of marriage, Xu Zhiyuan cannot afford to lose at all, which is why he is anxious to set the wedding date for more than a month later.

Xu Zhiyuan's operation of this matter, Mr. Xu has heard of it, but he has not expressed his position, and Xu Zhiyuan is advancing according to his own ideas. He didn't expect that at the last moment, there would be such a Cheng Biting Jin as Fang Yang, and it seemed that Master Bai Yan also seemed to be involved in this matter, singing and playing a good double reed with Fang Yang.

Xu Zhiyuan thought of the relationship between Master Bai Yan and Old Man Fang, and his heart was even more suspicious. Although his intuition told him that Master Bai Yan's transcendent identity would not intervene in the ******** of deceit. But Master Bai Yan's appearance today made Xu Zhiyuan involuntarily suspicious.

It's really too crucial!

Old Man Xu pondered for a long time, then suddenly looked up at Xu Zhiyuan and asked:

"Zhiyuan, I heard that you have been talking to Lao Fan's family about Xiaoya's marriage recently?"

Xu Zhiyuan's head "buzzed", whatever he was afraid of, the old man really asked about this matter!

However, Xu Zhiyuan did not dare to slack off on the surface, and stood up respectfully and said:

"Yes Dad! Zihong of the old Fan family has always admired Qingya, Chief of Staff Fan mentioned it to me several times, I think the two children are the right age, the two families also know the roots, Qingya is not young, so I verbally agreed. ”

The chief of staff Fan that Xu Zhiyuan said is Fan Zihong's father, Fan Zhenguang, who is the chief of staff of the Beijing Military Region and the deputy head of the well-known large military region.

Old Man Xu frowned without a trace and said:

"How did I hear that the second boy of the Fan family is a bit of a fool?"

In fact, Fan Zihong is not just messing around, it is simply a bad record. If it was an ordinary child, all the things he did were almost enough to eat a gun. However, Xu Zhiyuan must have said good things for Fan Zihong at this time, and he said cautiously:

"Daddy! Zihong is still young, and it is normal for his temperament to be a little jumpy, I think his temperament will settle down after marriage. ”

Old man Xu stared at Xu Zhiyuan's face, his wise eyes seemed to be able to see through Xu Zhiyuan's heart, and after a long time, the old man said lightly:

"Xiaoya's marriage, let it go first."

Xu Zhiyuan's face suddenly turned pale, but he didn't dare to disobey his father's words at all, so he had to say with difficulty:

"Yes! Father! ”

After finishing speaking, Xu Zhiyuan glanced at Fang Yang deeply, but there was a trace of resentment in his eyes. He couldn't imagine that what he had been planning for so long was actually turned over by a few words from a yellow-mouthed child, and Xu Zhiyuan felt a deep unwillingness in his heart.

Old Man Xu didn't pay any more attention to Xu Zhiyuan, turned his face and said to Master Bai Yan with a smile:

"Master Bai, since you came to my house today, I will be cheeky and ask you for another word!"

Master Bai Yan laughed heartily:

"Old Xu, it's a trivial matter!"

Old Man Xu looked at Xu Zhiyuan, and then said to Master Bai Yan:

"Master Bai, I want to ask for four words - 'dignified'! This is for the dogs! I've thanked the master here! ”

Xu Zhiyuan couldn't help but tremble slightly, raised his eyes to look at his father, and found that Old Man Xu was looking at him meaningfully. Xu Zhiyuan immediately understood that although the old man lived in the backyard, he had a clear view of the situation outside, and the old man had already been clear about what he was planning.

Today, the old man just took this opportunity to knock himself subtly, he hoped that he would not always think about taking shortcuts, and that he should be "upright" in life!

Thinking of this, Xu Zhiyuan's depressed mind seemed to be a little more relaxed, he stood up, bowed deeply to Master Bai Yan, and said:

"Thank you, Master Bai!"

But having said that, Xu Zhiyuan still has a trace of regret for giving up this opportunity. Old Man Han can't see it, as long as this marriage period is delayed for two more months, and then the benefits are all shared, then the marriage will not be of much significance.

Xu Zhiyuan never expected that Fan Zihong and Xu Qingya would vigorously support the Xu family if they were not married, and he knew in his heart that the Fan family had never seen rabbits and eagles.

"Teacher, I'll sharpen ink for you!" Fang Yang stood up with a smile and walked towards the Four Treasures of the Study that had already been prepared.

When passing by Xu Zhiyuan's side, Fang Yang whispered a word in his ear, which shocked Xu Zhiyuan. He suddenly looked back at Fang Yang, but seeing that Fang Yang still had a calm and breezy expression, he rolled up his sleeves and began to sharpen the ink.

Xu Zhiyuan chewed Fang Yang's words carefully, but there were turbulent waves in his heart......
