Chapter 22 The world is extremely evil, but only the human heart

Previous Chapter

Fang Zheng went out of the room and saw Lao Dao standing behind Bi'er with the little boy, looking at him eagerly, and the expression on his face was still a little nervous.

"It seems that the search for the cave is really not easy. If it is really as Lao Dao said, the destination of this trip is left by the ancestor of the Zhang family, then the information that Lao Dao knows will definitely not be so simple, and looking at his expression, it seems that he is more important to him, then this trip must be extremely dangerous, after all, Lao Dao only learned from the guards that his strength is relatively high, and there is nothing else worthy of his help. Fang Zheng thought of this, but his face did not show any expression, just nodded slightly at Lao Dao, and then smiled and asked Bi'er about the little girl.

"Miss Bi'er, have you ever gotten up?"

"Yaya has already gotten up, and is now waiting for us in the dining hall with Miss. ”

"Oh, then bother the girl to lead the way, let's go there earlier, don't make your young lady wait too long. ”

"Well, Mr. Fang, come with me. Saying that, Bi'er smiled slightly towards Fang Zheng, raised her feet and walked outside the courtyard, but she didn't pay attention to Lao Dao and the boy, Fang Zheng smiled slightly, and by the way, he threw a meaningful look at Lao Dao, and followed Bi'er out.

"Brother, why did you come, are you lazy to sleep, it's rude to be a guest at someone else's house and sleep lazy. Before entering the door, the little girl pounced on her, Fang Zheng could only smile helplessly, and pinched the little girl's nose dotingly, "Did you sleep well last night?"

"Yaya is not naughty, Sister Wan'er's bed is soft and fragrant, it is comfortable to sleep, Yaya slept until dawn. The little girl said excitedly, although there is a carriage on the road, but it is not as comfortable as sleeping in the bed, and the fatigue of running around for days made the little girl sleep very sweetly last night.

"That's good, when you go to someone else's house, you have to be polite, but you can't be naughty. ”

"Brother, let's go in quickly, Sister Wan'er is still waiting for us inside." The little girl took Fangzheng's hand and walked into the dining hall.

Zhao Muwan smiled and greeted the door, "Brother Fang slept well last night, he was still used to it, the cold house was simple, and he hoped that Brother Fang would bear with him if he didn't greet him well." ”

"What did Miss Wan'er say, your mansion is luxurious and exquisite, and it is the first time for Fang to enjoy this kind of treatment, why do you say that you don't greet well, Miss Wan'er should not be polite. ”

"That's good, Brother Fang saved the names of so many people in the Zhao family, when I arrived here today, Wan'er, as the host, must treat Brother Fang well, Wan'er didn't say much, I didn't come back early last night, and I didn't arrange food for Brother Fang, I'm afraid I'm hungry now, let's talk while eating, Zhang Zhenren also invites!" Zhao Muwan beckoned Fang Zheng and Yaya to sit at the dinner table, but she never forgot the two of them.

Fang Zheng pulled the little girl and followed Zhao Muwan to sit at the table, only to see that there were already seven or eight dishes on a rectangular wooden table at the moment, both meat and vegetarian, all of which were colorful, flavorful, and fragrant, and there were maids and maids at the door who kept coming in with some food.

"Miss Wan'er, if it were just me and these people eating, I'm afraid that so many dishes would be a bit wasted. Fang Zheng opened his mouth to say a word, but he wanted to test it more, it stands to reason that when he arrived at the Zhao family's mansion, it would not be the turn of Miss Zhao to come out to greet him anyway, if the Zhao family was grateful for his life-saving kindness, it should be the person in charge of the house who came out in person to not be rude, or it was reasonable to send a man like a housekeeper, but now it is really strange and rude to let a woman with a special identity like Zhao Muwan come out to greet guests.

"Brother Fang, forgive me, the house has been the eldest brother and the second brother since my father has been in charge for a hundred years, and now the eldest brother has something to go out and has not returned, the second brother and Uncle Zhang went to the street this morning to deal with some things in the shop, and now they are on the way back, they can only be greeted by Wan'er Brother Fang and Zhang Zhenren first, please forgive me for the rudeness!" Zhao Muwan was a smart person, so he could naturally hear the meaning of Fang Zheng's words, and stood up and saluted Fang Zheng and Lao Dao.

"Miss Wan'er, don't be weird, Fang is just a little curious, and I hope that the girl won't go to her heart. Fang Zheng was slightly embarrassed after listening to Zhao Muwan's explanation, his own mind was clearly seen, which really made him a little embarrassed.

"This is Wan'er's faux pas, how can we blame Brother Fang, but we are afraid that we will have to wait for a while before we can eat, and Second Brother and Uncle Zhang should be arriving soon," Zhao Muwan said this, but his face showed a little worry, which made Fang Zheng a little strange, but it was not good to ask anything more. At this moment, I heard a voice coming from outside the house, but it was Zhao Muwan's second brother who came back.

"Hahaha, the distinguished guest is coming to the door, Zhao has lost his welcome, and I hope that the distinguished guest will bear with me!" A hearty voice came from outside the door, and then I saw a young man in brocade clothes striding in from outside, followed by the old man surnamed Zhang who was inviting Fang Zheng at the beginning. The young man walked straight to Fang Zheng as he spoke, smiling and clenching his fists.

Fang Zheng hurriedly got up and returned the salute, "Take the liberty of bothering, it should be Fang Mou who thanked Zhao Gongzi." The appearance of the person who came is somewhat similar to Zhao Muwan, the handsome appearance with this bold style is easy to make people feel good, at least Fang Zheng's heart is slightly warm at the moment, and he has a little recognition of the person in front of him.

"Something happened in the shop, and I had to deal with it when my eldest brother wasn't there, but I asked Mr. to wait here, I'm really sorry, Mr. Please hurry up and eat, let's talk while eating." At this moment, in addition to more than a dozen dishes, there are still five or six pastries on the table, and there is a large pot of fragrant porridge soup in the middle of the table, but Fang Zheng can't see what material it is made of. A breakfast is so rich, Fang Zheng sighed slightly, people are really different, when Shenjia Village Zhao and Yaya couldn't even take care of wild vegetables and coarse grains, I don't know if this Zhao family is like this on weekdays or today specially made in order to entertain himself and Lao Dao, these guests are specially made, no matter what, the gap between the rich and the poor in different worlds has the same embodiment.

At the dinner table, everyone was eating and chatting, the second son of the Zhao family was still bold, and kept adding wine and vegetables to Fangzheng, and his stomach was even more open after a few glasses of wine, chatting all over the world, and Fang Zheng also heard some things about the Zhao family from his mouth. The name on the table is Zhao Jinyu, the second oldest in the Zhao family, and he is thirty-five years old this year, but he has never suffered from wind and frost on weekdays, and his face looks like how old he is. There is a big brother named Zhao Qiancheng above, Zhao Muwan is the head of the Zhao family in her forties, and her mother is just a concubine, which is considered a concubine, and she is only half-brother with the two eldest brothers.

"Mr. Fang, I heard Zhao Zhong and Steward Zhang say that you are a person with great ability, if you don't dislike it, stay in the cold house for a while longer, so that Zhao can do his best to be a landlord. Zhao Jinyu said to Fang Zheng with a red face, but before Fang Zheng could speak, Zhao Muwan hurriedly spoke, "Second brother, Brother Fang still has important things to do, I'm afraid he won't stay here longer." As he said that, the look on Zhao Muwan's face became even more nervous, and Fang Zheng looked a little inexplicable.

"Oh, the third sister seems to know a lot about Mr. Fang, it's just that you, as a girl, are afraid that it is a little inappropriate for you to show up all day long, and besides, the marriage between you and the son of the Chen family is close at hand, so you can rest in the boudoir after today, don't go out and walk around." ”

"What kind of marriage? What does the second brother mean by this? When did I agree to the marriage of the Chen family? The second brother has to go against my father's will and force me to marry that gentleman?" Zhao Muwan instantly became excited when she heard this, only to get up and question Zhao Jinyu.

"Presumptuous! Is there any etiquette, is this how your mother taught you? After my father left, except for the eldest brother, I was the one who had the final say, and the eldest brother was the father, don't you understand? Your marriage is naturally decided by me and the eldest brother, and you will talk to me with this attitude?" Zhao Jinyu scolded with anger on his face, and when he heard this, Zhao Muwan seemed to lose his strength in an instant, and sat back dejectedly, his eyes seemed to have lost his brilliance, and he who trembled slightly spoke. I understand, all this was arranged by you, it has been arranged from the moment my father died, it was really completely prepared, while letting a weak woman take the goods of the Chen family and go to the Black Tiger Mountain, ready to borrow a knife to kill a hundred, I didn't expect God to open my eyes and let me come back alive, but I don't want you to prepare such a hand here, hahaha, if it really doesn't leak, I never thought about fighting with you for anything, but why are you unwilling to let me go? Why?

"I don't know what you're talking about. The marriage has been set, the date is on the eighth day of the next month, I made a special trip to ask someone, it is an auspicious day of the zodiac, when I am the elder brother, I will let my sister marry out in a beautiful way, and I have finished my father's last wish, but my sister should also know that some things of the Zhao family really can't be brought to outsiders. ”

"Hahaha, is this just what you're here for? It's just a piece of jade pendant, it makes you work so hard, when my father handed it over to me, he clearly said that he couldn't give it to any of you, I didn't understand it at that time, and I didn't understand it until now, if it's really my two good brothers, you can rest assured, I will take good care of this thing, and I won't marry the Chen family, since you forced my mother to death seven years ago, I know that you two have never regarded our mother and daughter as the real Zhao family, and the entire Zhao family has only really cared about me since my father passed away, but now even he has become your person。 Zhao Muwan seemed to lose her soul in an instant, and the whole person walked towards the outside of the dining hall like a walking corpse, although the little girl didn't understand what was happening, she could also see that her "Sister Wan'er" was in a very bad condition now, nervously holding Fang Zheng's palm, and throwing a pleading look at Fang Zheng......
