Don't ask where people go

Chapter 309 Worth It
Fang Zilan took a sip of tea and asked calmly, "How much did the Fang family pay for the battle with Miluo?"

Fang Lihui didn't speak, Fang Zilan glanced at him, "I heard from Miss Ouyang that the Fang family sold the jade mine?"

Fang Lihui sighed softly, and said: "The jade mine was originally under the name of my uncle, not the Fang family property. After my uncle sold it, it was donated to the national treasury in the name of the empress."

"The empress donated a jade mine, so the Fang family will only have more and no less." Fang Zilan knew it well, and took the time to say: "The Fang family is hurting, so they changed the name of the imperial merchant, is it worth it?"

"Master Fang, don't you understand this?" Fang Lihui's lips curled slightly, he waved his fan and said, "With the title of Imperial Merchant, the Fang family's business will be a real gold-lettered signboard in the future, and there will be no such thing in the world." People can stand shoulder to shoulder."

Fang Zilan said noncommittally: "Seventy percent of the world's business is in the hands of the Fang family. Mr. Fang, what do you mean by lying to me?"

Fang Lihui suppressed his smile and poured himself a cup of tea.He rubbed his fingers against the wall of the lamp, but his eyes were fixed on Fang Zilan, "What about you, Mr. Fang? Is it worth it to risk your life to defend Qiluo City and wait for an unknown result?"

"I am the Duke of Yue in Dajing, and my duty is to protect my family and the country, and I will never hesitate to die." Fang Zilan said softly, "Don't you find it funny that Mr. Fang asked me if I was worth it?"

"Master Fang is the Duke of Yue in Dajing, and the Fang family is also a citizen of Dajing." Fang Lihui looked serious, "My Fang family's family of merchants has no great skills, but I also know that there will be no eggs under the nest. Fortunately, there are still a few silver coins, and it is enough to do my best."

Fang Zilan suddenly smiled, "It seems that the Fang family's money is well spent."

"Thanks to Mr. Fang." Fang Lihui held up the teacup with both hands, and said solemnly: "Fang Lihui replaces wine with tea, and I respect Mrs. Fang."

"How disrespectful." Fang Zilan took the teacup and touched Fang Lihui, "I also want to thank Mr. Fang. Without your support, I'm afraid I won't be able to wait."

Both of them drank it down in one gulp. After putting down the teacup, Fang Zilan smiled slightly and said, "Speaking of which, is a two-year grace period enough? Is it shorter?"

"Lord Fang, don't worry, I know what's in my mind." Fang Lihui said with confidence, Fang Zilan said thoughtfully: "Since Mr. Fang is sure, then I have nothing to say. But if I give you a grace period of two years, you have to pay a deposit first Just do it."

"It's already ready." Fang Lihui took out a letter from his bosom and handed it to Fang Zilan, "I heard that Mr. Fang wanted to build monuments and temples for the soldiers who died in the Battle of Miluo, so I asked the Fang family to use Fang In the name of my lord, I took it down. This is the list, please have a look at it, Mr. Fang."

Fang Zilan froze for a moment, only felt that the letter in her hand seemed to weigh a thousand catties, making her a little out of breath.She slowly unfolded the letter paper, each name on it was once a fresh life.

"Sister Lan." Mo Han stretched out her hand to support Fang Zilan's shoulder, and she whispered, "I'm fine."

Fang Zilan took a deep breath, calmed down, and said again after a while: "The deposit is sincere enough, and I agree to the two-year grace period."

"Thank you, Mr. Fang." Fang Lihui bowed his hands, but was stopped by Fang Zilan, "Wait a minute, I have something else to do."

Fang Lihui nodded slightly and said, "Master Fang, please tell me."

"Where did you get this list?" Fang Zilan said solemnly, "Also, how did you know that I will build monuments and temples for the sacrificed soldiers?"

"Master Fang, what do you think my Wanhualou is for?" Fang Lihui smiled meaningfully, and Fang Zilan glanced at him, "The girl who told you the news, I want it."

Hearing this, Fang Lihui shook his hand, and a little water in the teacup spilled out, "Master Fang, what did you say?"

"Why, can't bear it?" Fang Zilan looked at Fang Lihui with a half-smile, he quickly waved his hand and said, "Of course not. It's just the girl in Wanhualou, who can come and go freely. If Master Fang wants it, she has to agree."

Fang Zilan put away the list, calmly said: "I believe, she is willing to follow me."

Fang Lihui shook his folding fan lightly, and asked curiously, "Why is Master Fang so determined?"

"Since ancient times, beauties have loved heroes, so I am more or less a hero." As soon as Fang Zilan finished speaking, there was a pop, and it was Awan who spewed out the tea.

Fang Zilan didn't respond, and said boldly: "Not only do most beauties like me, but also those who like beauties can chat with me, such as Miss Ouyang."

Mo Han smiled and shook his head, Vice General Cao couldn't help laughing, Cong Rong covered her mouth and chuckled, A Wan clicked her tongue, "Master Fang, if the girl doesn't follow you, you will lose face."

"For the sake of a beauty, face is nothing." Fang Zilan poured Fang Lihui a cup of tea, "That's the deal, Mr. Fang, don't play tricks."

Fang Lihui took the teacup, "Who does Mr. Fang think of me? I guarantee in the name of the head of the Fang family that I will never cheat."

"That's about the same." Fang Zilan sat on the chair after talking about the business, still looking lazy, "If you have nothing to do, Mr. Fang, you might as well stay for dinner."

"No..." As soon as Fang Lihui refused, he was interrupted by Fang Zilan, "Young Master Fang, think about it, I may not have spare money to treat you to dinner in the next two years."

"Master Fang was just joking." Fang Lihui put away his folding fan, raised his eyebrows and curled his lips, and said, "I still have some things to do at home, so I won't bother you any more."

Fang Zilan nodded, "That's good, Mr. Fang, please help yourself."

Not long after Fang Lihui left, the butler hurried in again, "Master Fang, the Zhuge family sent someone to send a greeting card, do you want to..."

"What day is it today, why do you come to my house to join in the fun?" Fang Zilan muttered, and then said with a long sigh of relief: "No, please return the greeting card intact."

Mo Han couldn't help but persuade her, "Sister Lan, I'm afraid your move is inappropriate."

Deputy General Cao also echoed: "Yes, Boss, what if something happens to the government office? It's better to meet and see."

"Ayu can handle the affairs of the government office." Fang Zilan's expression was gloomy, "I don't see Ayu, he can guess the reason if he wants to come, there is no need to come."

Mo Han was stunned for a moment, before he said: "Sister Lan, are you trying to get angry with Mr. Zhuge?"

Fang Zilan didn't answer him, but told the housekeeper, "When you return the card, tell the Zhuge family that we will see you at the Chongyang Palace Banquet."

"Yes." The butler nodded and stepped back. Several people in the courtyard looked at each other, Fang Zilan stood up and said, "I'll go to the kitchen to see how the dinner is prepared." She said and left.

A Wan leaned over to Mo Han and asked, "You just said that she was angry with Mr. Zhuge, what do you mean?"

"I'm just guessing." Mo Han said hesitantly: "With Sister Lan's temperament, even if she doesn't want to work, it's always okay to see Mr. Zhuge. It's just a matter of gagging and fooling around. It's not that she would doing."

Deputy General Cao rubbed the back of his head, "But didn't the boss return all the invitations from other adults?"

"That's different." Cong Rong said in a serious manner: "Other lords send greeting cards to come to congratulate. Mr. Fang has never liked such troublesome things. What's more, if someone accidentally arranges them, saying that Mr. Fang accepts bribes, it will be even worse." It's inexplicable."

"That's true." A Wan rested her chin on her hand, "I don't know what happened between her and Mr. Zhuge in Lin City, it must be a quarrel, right?"

Mo Han sighed faintly and said, "I'm afraid we won't be able to ask about the things Sister Lan doesn't want to talk about. Maybe we will find out after the Double Ninth Palace Banquet."
