It's a pity how could Xiangning know that her peerless face is not something that can be taken away by simple clothes and without powder. It is precisely because of this that Ding Wanyi finally changed from her benefactor to an enemy she could not forgive in her life.

It was a sunny morning, and two rare guests came to the Ding Mansion, they were Fang Yuanwai and his son-in-law Fang Sixian.

To say that this Fang Sixian is also a well-known figure on the one-acre and three-third of land in their Jianping City, the only son of a foreign family, this background is already beyond the reach of ordinary people. Although there are many business people here, it is not so easy to spend money to buy a foreign job, and it is not so easy in this country.

The Fang family belongs to the kind of people who have a way. Although there was only a distant relative who couldn't beat the edge of the eight poles and became a petty official in the imperial city, it was enough for the Fang family to show confidence in front of the local officials.

However, this Fang Sixian is really different, there is no copper smell on his body, and no matter what his character is, just by looking at it, he looks like a white and polite scholar. In addition, he is indeed quick-witted, and he has already made a name for himself at a young age, and his future is limitless.

However, others don't know whether this Fang Sixian's ambition is ambitious, but his father Fang is a traditional and conservative person. In Fang Yuan's opinion, the wealth accumulated by their family is enough for the descendants of the Fang family to squander for several lifetimes, and as a soil emperor on this one-third of an acre, whoever sees their Fang family is polite and respectful, and this kind of life is really moist and comfortable.

Therefore, for his precious son wanting to enter Beijing to take the exam, Fang Yuanwai was very unsupportive. It is said that he is useless and is a scholar, although Fang Yuanwai does not want to look at his son like this, but judging from the ambition that his son has no ambition to inherit his mantle, he is really afraid that his son will have nothing but study.

In addition, that is out of a little selfishness outside the Fang Yuan, they all say that the companion is like a tiger, his own son knows in his own heart, saying that what is good is called uprightness, and what is unpleasant is not knowing current affairs, and he is dead-eyed. No matter how talented such a person is, he is really not suitable for serving the monarch, if he accidentally loses his temper one day and offends the monarch and causes him to be killed, then his old Fang family can be regarded as the last.

After thinking about it, Fang Yuanwai finally decided to set up a family affair for his son, preferably the kind that can get married as soon as possible, so that he and his wife can be regarded as having one more helper to tie their son's heart.

After carefully sifting through the birthday and small portraits of the daughters of large marriageable families in the city, Fang Yuanwai decided to take his son to Ding's mansion in person to visit Ding Wanyi, the daughter of Master Ding's family.

The father and son came suddenly, and Ding Laifu was also quite surprised, so he hurriedly sent someone to call his daughter out in private.

However, what was Ding Wanyi doing at this time? She hadn't gotten up early in the morning!

When the door of her room was knocked by the maid, a wave of anger poured into her heart, and she couldn't help but roar angrily: "Xiangning, you dead girl doesn't know how to open the door?"

However, Xiang Ning didn't respond to her, but another woman's voice sounded outside the door: "Miss, the slave maid is Xue'er! ”

"What distinguished guest, Miss Ben has no time to serve!" Ding Wanyi's anger became even greater.

"It's Fang Yuanwai and Fang Gongzi who are here. Cher replied respectfully.

"It doesn't matter if he's square or round, Miss Ben ...... everything" Ding Wanyi was roaring, when she suddenly felt that something was wrong, and hurriedly asked again: "What did you just say? Who is coming?"

Xue'er said: "Miss Hui, it's Fang Yuanwai and his son-in-law Fang Sixian. ”

Ding Wanyi completely woke up from her confusion at this time, who is Fang Sixian? That is the man she has already secretly agreed not to marry.

She is over seventeen years old this year, and since the year she and Lu, there has been an endless stream of people who come to the door to say goodbye, but she has been pushed back for various reasons, she is waiting for Fang's house, waiting for this man who can be worthy of her in the entire Jianping City in her opinion to come to the door to propose.

It's just that she has been waiting for more than two years, and when Ding Laifu has already given birth to the idea of simply finding a similar family to marry her, she has not heard of any woman in the Fang family who has proposed marriage.

Originally, Ding Wanyi was worried about whether Fang Sixian was too ambitious, and planned to marry a woman from a famous family in the imperial city after entering Beijing to gain fame, if that was the case, she Ding Wanyi was afraid that she would have no hope of entering the door of the Fang family in this life.

But happiness always comes so suddenly, and the person she was thinking about in her heart actually came to visit her in person today! What does this mean? This means that she, Ding Wanyi, will soon become the new daughter-in-law of the Fang family and Fang Sixian's wife!

Thinking like this, Ding Wanyi's anger disappeared in an instant, so that the smiling appearance when she opened the door scared Xue'er outside the door.

"Miss, you ...... Are you okay?" Seeing that the eldest lady, who always had a straight face on weekdays, was pulling her hand very affectionately at this time, Xue'er inexplicably felt a chill down her spine, and wondered if she had offended Miss recently.

"It's okay, what can Miss Ben do! Come, you come in and serve me to freshen up and change clothes, make sure you dress me up beautifully, so that the son of the Fang family will fall in love at first sight." Ding Wanyi pulled Xue'er into her room, and said while hurriedly walking to the dressing table and sitting down.

As soon as she heard that the eldest lady was going to groom and change her clothes by herself, Xue'er was suddenly frightened, but she remembered that a new girl accidentally pulled her hair when she was helping her comb her hair, and was scolded by her, and she was locked in a firewood room and starved for a whole day.

"This ...... The slave is clumsy and afraid that the young lady will not be satisfied, so why don't the slave and the maid call the incense for the young lady?" Xue'er said cautiously.

Ding Wanyi glanced at her, "Miss Ben won't eat you again, what are you afraid of?" After a pause, she asked again, "Where did Xiangning go early in the morning?"

Xue'er hurriedly said: "The slave maid saw that she carried a basket to the lotus pond in the backyard early in the morning, as if she said that she was collecting morning dew for the young lady." ”

Ding Wanyi hooked the corners of her mouth when she heard this: "It's okay that she has a heart, and she knows that Miss Ben recently wants to drink the Qinghe fragrant tea cooked by morning dew." You don't have to bother her, let her do her work. Come, hurry up and help Miss Ben comb her hair. ”

To say that this Xue'er's kung fu in serving people is indeed less than half of Xiangning, but her eldest lady is in good spirits on happy occasions today, so she doesn't have to worry about a subordinate. The reason why she didn't call Xiang Ning was naturally more selfish, she was afraid that as soon as she took the girl to the front hall, the two of the Fang family would pay all their attention to Xiang Ning's body, then she would really be angry this time.

As a result, Ding Wanyi was grinding in her boudoir, wanting to dress herself up as a fairy who could make Fang Sixian fall in love at first sight, but Fang Sixian in the front hall was already impatient.

Originally, he had no intention of talking about marriage, but today he couldn't help his father so he reluctantly followed. At this time, it has been a long time since she came to the Ding Mansion, and this young lady of the Ding family has been refusing to come out to meet her for a long time, which is really a good stand.

Ding Laifu is also a person with vision, and he saw the suppressed impatience between the eyebrows of the son of the Fang family, so he proposed to go to his backyard and enjoy the lotus flowers that bloomed at the beginning of this year.

The sun was already high, and Xiang Ning had already left the lotus pond, making tea for Miss Wanyi in the kitchen with the newly collected dew. It's just that when she came to the young lady's room with the boiled tea and the newly made snacks from the kitchen, she found that Ding Wanyi was no longer in her room.

Just when she was wondering, the housekeeper hurriedly ran over, and shouted to her from afar: "Xiangning, so you are here! Hurry, hurry up and take your newly collected morning dew to the Lotus Pavilion to make tea." ”

Xiangning looked at the Qinghe fragrant tea in her hand, thinking that the housekeeper had been instructed by Ding Wanyi, and wondered: "What did Miss do when she went to the Lotus Pavilion early in the morning?"

The housekeeper smiled: "Early this morning, Fang Yuan brought their son-in-law to visit the old lady in the house, in my opinion, the young lady is afraid that a good thing is coming!"

"So that's ......" Xiang Ning suddenly said, "So, the old man and the young lady are now entertaining Fang Yuanwai and the Fang family's sons in the lotus pavilion?"

"Of course. What are you still bothering about, hurry up!" urged the butler.

Xiangning lowered her eyes and hesitated for a moment before saying, "Housekeeper, I'm still not going, there are still some fresh morning dew in the kitchen, you can let Xue'er or Yu'er go." ”

"How can this be done!" the butler's eyes widened when he heard this, "The master specially ordered that you must go." Which girl in the house can compare with you in your kung fu of making tea? Besides, it's not the tea you make, and the young lady doesn't drink it!"

Xiangning really didn't want to go, she knew that her appearance was a little more eye-catching, and the maids in the house often talked about her behind her back, both nice and ugly.

She doesn't care about other people's opinions, but she cares about Ding Wanyi's opinions. Today, the Fang family came to the Ding Mansion with the son of the Fang family, and nine times out of ten they came to talk about family affairs, the Ding family and the Fang family can be regarded as a good match, and she also knows that her young lady has been fond of the son of the Fang family for a long time, this is a big day related to Ding Wanyi's life, and she doesn't want to cause any accidents because of her appearance.

Even if the son of the Fang family looked down on herself, she didn't want to appear in front of Ding Wanyi at such a time to block her.

But now it is the master of the Ding family who asks her to go by name, if she doesn't go, she will go to another girl, so that she will not be able to snub the distinguished guests, or make Ding Wanyi unhappy, so that she accidentally exposes her shortcomings in front of people that her temper is not gentle enough......
