Chapter 21 Agreed date of marriage
According to what Ning Er said, the second lady went to the mansion with some gifts the next day, and was going to discuss the marriage between Ning Er and Fang Yuanwai with Fang Yuanwai to see if she could advance it.
The second lady had just walked to the door of Fang's mansion, and when she told Jiading that she had come to visit Fang, she was taken directly to the living room by Jiading. On the way to the living room, there were winding paths all the way, and the second lady looked at the surrounding scene and felt abnormal, this Fang Mansion was indeed different, it was all trees, and there were no flowers to be seen.
Before the second lady walked to the living room, far away, he had already seen Fang Yuanwai sitting in the living room, waiting for the second lady, as if he had known that the second lady was coming to visit him. When Fang Yuanwai saw the second lady coming, he stood up unhurriedly on crutches.
After the family led the second lady to the living room, the second lady walked in with the maid and put the gift on the table outside the party member. Fang Yuan glanced at the gift and sat down, then nodded at the second lady, and motioned for the second lady to sit down quickly; But the second lady did not go far, but chose a guest seat very close to the main seat outside the party and sat down, and the second lady's maid walked behind the second lady and stood.
"The second lady suddenly came to visit the Fang Mansion, is there something wrong?" Fang Yuan stood with his cane outside and asked why the second lady suddenly came to visit him.
"Fang Yuanwai, a few days ago, I was infected with a cold and had been sick in bed, and then I heard Ning'er say that when I was sick, you went to visit Liufu, didn't you just think that you would get better and come to visit you." The second lady did not directly say the purpose of her visit, but politely polite.
"Oh, I see, the second lady is polite, is your illness better now?" After Fang Yuan learned about the second lady's intention, he asked if the second lady's illness had been cured.
"I have a labor staff to worry about it, my illness is no longer a big problem, I came to you today, I want to discuss something with you." The second lady was only polite, and then quickly cut to the point, preparing to discuss the marriage with Fang Yuanwai.
"Second lady, if you have anything, just say it, don't beat around the bush." Fang Yuanwai spoke very directly, and directly asked the second lady to talk about things, unwilling to keep going around in circles.
"Outside of Fang, I came to discuss with you about your marriage with Ning'er." The second lady had just mentioned the marriage, and Fang Yuanwai interrupted the second lady by talking.
"What, did the second lady come today to regret it, didn't she want to agree to this marriage between me and Ning Er?" When Fang Yuanwai heard that the second lady came to discuss the marriage, he suddenly became a little emotional, and stood up with his crutches, and the expression on his face became a little angry.
"No, no, Fang Yuanwai, I didn't mean that, don't get excited." When the second lady heard that she was talking about discussing Ning'er's marriage, she suddenly became so excited, and hurriedly stood up and waved her hand, indicating that she didn't mean to regret the marriage.
Fang Yuanwai heard that the second lady was not here to discuss the repentance of the marriage, so his mood calmed down a little, and he slowly sat down on the chair with a cane. "Then second lady, what do you want to discuss?" After Fang Yuanwai sat down, he sorted out his clothes and began to ask the second lady again.
When the second lady saw Fang Yuanwai sit down, she also sat down, took a deep breath, adjusted herself, and prepared to talk to Fang Yuanwai about the early marriage. "Outside Fang, I came to you to discuss with you and see if I can advance your marriage with Ning'er, I'm afraid that something will happen next month."
"Change? What do you mean? Fang Yuanwai heard the second lady say that there would be an accident when they got married next month, and they couldn't help but wonder a little in their hearts, what else could happen to Master Liu in his own hands?
"Actually, it's nothing, it's just that the young owner of the Gold and Silver Pavilion has given Ning'er some gold and silver jewelry in the past few days, I'm afraid that after a long time, Ning'er will change her mind." The second lady used Chengfeng Gongzi as a shield, hoping to fool Fang Yuanwai, so that Fang Yuanwai agreed to marry Ning Er in advance.
Fang Yuanwai heard the second lady say this, although he felt that what the second lady said was far-fetched, but he still had some muttering in his heart. Because Fang Yuanwai didn't know if Ning Er had told the second lady about her kidnapping of Master Liu, if the second lady knew that Master Liu was kidnapped by herself, then what did it mean to come to her and say that she was married in advance; If the second lady doesn't know yet, is it just for fear that the marriage will change over time?
Fang Yuanwai was a little undecided, thought about it for a while, and decided to ask the second lady first to see if she knew that Master Liu was kidnapped by herself.
"Is the young owner of the Golden and Silver Pavilion? Why is he also interested in Ning'er? Fang Yuanwai asked the second lady, and there was a little contempt when he spoke, feeling that he looked down on the young owner of the Golden and Silver Pavilion, and when he said the last few words, his voice suddenly became quieter, and he felt that Fang Yuanwai's heart was a little shaken, as if he was not particularly confident in himself.
"Yes, the young owner of the Golden and Silver Pavilion has been visiting the Liu family recently, I don't know if Ning'er will refute this marriage after getting along with him for a long time." When the second lady said it, she deliberately accentuated the two words of rebuttal, as if she was specifically reminding Fang Yuanwai.
"Second lady, isn't it the blessing of your Liu family that the young owner of the Golden and Silver Pavilion is looking at Ning'er, the Golden and Silver Pavilion is rich, but it is much richer than my Fang Mansion, why do you want to come and tell me?" Fang Yuanwai heard that the second lady came to report to him, and showed suspicion, he didn't believe that the second lady would think about Fang Yuanwai, after all, the second lady was greedy for money, if the second lady was to choose, the young owner of the Golden and Silver Pavilion would be the first choice, after all, the economic strength was strong, and he could help the Liu family a lot in the future.
"Outside Fang, look at what you are talking about, even if I am greedy for money, I have to take care of the overall situation; After all, it was you who helped the Liu family when the Liu family was in danger, and the conditions I promised you would naturally be fulfilled, otherwise if this matter spreads, how can our Liu family still gain a foothold on the road of business, don't you say? The second lady replied quickly, and cleverly covered up the past with the things that she had promised to the outside of the party.
"Second lady, it's really not easy for you to say that, the young owner of the Golden and Silver Pavilion has a big business, what ability do I have to compare with others?" Fang Yuanwai took advantage of the young owner that the second lady said, and took the opportunity to make a wave of sarcasm, feeling that the second lady was not telling the truth.
"Hey, it's all a family soon, and I won't hide it from you, I didn't think about it at the beginning, Ning Er has already made a marriage contract with you, but my Lu'er is no worse than Ning Er in terms of appearance and talent, so of course a good candidate must be left by my family Lu'er first. When the time comes, Ning'er will marry you, Lu'er will marry the young owner of the Golden and Silver Pavilion, and our Liu family will naturally have a smooth ride on the road of doing business with the support of your two families, don't you say? "The second lady actually thought so in her heart at the beginning, a good husband and gentleman should always be left to her own daughter, and now facing Fang Yuan, it is natural to say it.
"Oh, it turns out that the second lady is making this calculation in her heart, according to what the second lady said, the Liu family can really get the greatest benefits, the second lady is worthy of being the wife of the Liu family, this business acumen is no worse than that of Master Liu." When Fang Yuanwai heard the second lady say this, he finally let down his guard and believed what the second lady said.
"In that case, then let's discuss when to advance the marriage, so that I can marry Ning'er as soon as possible, and the second lady can also hurry up and match the young owner of the Silver Pavilion and your Lu'er, killing two birds with one stone." Fang Yuanwai believed what the second lady said, and proposed to discuss when to get married.
"Fang Yuanwai, I think that since it is a marriage, then the number of wedding ceremonies must not be less, after all, our Liu family is the first young lady to come out of the cabinet, and we have to prepare a wedding dress, some dowry or something, three days, three days is enough, what do you say?" The second lady found some reasons for etiquette and wedding dresses, and set the time three days after what Ning Er said.
Fang Yuanwai heard the second lady say that after three days, although the time was much earlier, it was enough to prepare, "Okay, then according to what the second lady said, three days later, I will go to Liu's house to marry Ning'er, please prepare the second lady." In order to avoid extraneous complications for a long time, Fang Yuanwai agreed to the second lady's request.
"Fang Yuanwai is happy enough, then we will set the marriage in three days, I will go back to prepare a wedding dress for Ning'er, and I will let you marry a beautiful bride, I will leave first, Fang Yuanwai." Seeing that Fang Yuan agreed, the second lady hurriedly thought about going back to Liufu and telling Ning'er the news, so that she could quickly prepare for these things.
"Okay, then the second lady will go back and prepare, I won't keep you. Jiading, send the second lady out. The second lady said that she would go back and prepare well, and Fang Yuan didn't want to say anything more, so she directly asked the family to send the second lady away.
The second lady was led by the Fang Mansion in this way, and hurriedly walked out of the Fang Mansion, she didn't want to stay in this Fang Mansion for a moment longer, she felt disgusting, she felt that Fang Yuanwai's face was too ugly, it was simply disgusting, and she couldn't stay for a while.
The second lady walked out of the Fang Mansion, and she kept pretending to be very calm, until she walked out of the place where the Fang Mansion family could see, the second lady suddenly held the maid beside her tightly, "Hurry up, help me sit down, my legs are a little weak." ”
The second lady didn't care if she was on the street at this time, and sat on the side of the street directly with the support of the maid. The second lady has grown so big, and she has never opened her mouth so blatantly to talk nonsense, and she is still talking to that Fang Yuan, just now when she is talking, she can feel that she is sweating all over, but she has to pretend to be calm, and she can't leak flaws in front of Fang Yuanwai.
After the second lady rested for a while, she quickly got up and took the maid back to Liufu, Fang Yuanwai said that the time for marriage was set, and then it was time to go back to prepare for Ning Er's marriage, after all, she had to tell Ning Er quickly, so that Ning Er could get ready.
