Don't ask where people go

Chapter 358
Within an hour, Fang Zilan sat on the main seat outside and didn't want to move.Feasting guests is too tiring, much more tiring than her marching and fighting.

Toasting wine and tea was all it took, but she also had to deal with those twists and turns, and she couldn't think of new words, so she could only froze with a smile on her face.If this continues, the relationship between her and the Lucky Cat will be just a wave of hands.

"Master Fang." Xiao Xuan'er whispered to Fang Zilan's ear, and said, "Maybe you need to take a look at the female guests' table."

She spoke cryptically, but Fang Zilan knew that she had always been measured and would not call her for no reason, so she got up and walked over immediately.

As soon as the two approached, they heard the wives talking lively.

"Mr. Fang's banquet is really precious. Even the tea, wine and cakes are so particular, and he changed several kinds. He is indeed the most favored adult in the family of Gongqing, and no one else can compare..."

"Mrs. Chen, are you drunk, why are you talking nonsense?"

"Am I wrong? As the nine princes, I think His Majesty has more favors for the other party than for the Ouyang family. What do you think, Mrs. Ouyang?"

Fang Zilan stopped when she heard this, looked at Xiao Xuan'er, and said in a low voice: "I have confirmed that Mrs. Chen and Ouyang's family are not against each other, otherwise I would not dare to arrange them to sit together."

"I'm afraid this Mrs. Chen is not at odds with the Ouyang family." Fang Zilan looked a little colder, "It's just looking for trouble." She said and continued to read calmly.

Mrs. Ouyang smiled forcedly, "They are all doing things for the imperial court, but they are just doing their best, and there is no favor."

"Really?" Mrs. Chen rolled her eyes, "Why do I think there is something in Mrs. Ouyang's words?"

"There is no truth in what you say." The woman sitting on the left of Mrs. Chen said: "Mrs. Ouyang's daughter is very competitive. I heard that His Majesty has promised her an official position. I am afraid that she may lose to Mr. Fang in the future."

"Hey, you are talking about Miss Ouyang Zirou, right?" Mrs. Chen covered her face and chuckled, "I never imagined that she would be able to get an official position after hanging out with craftsmen every day. It's amazing."

"However, if Miss Ouyang wants to be compared with Mrs. Fang, I'm afraid there is still a long way to go..." The woman sitting across from them was interrupted by Mrs. Chen, "What is the difference? You don't know, do you?" , Ms. Ouyang is very resourceful, she has already caught up with Mr. Fang, and it is hard to say whether she will step on Mr. Fang to go further in the future."

The smile on Mrs. Ouyang's face was almost unstoppable, "Mrs. Chen is really flattering my little girl too much. She usually likes to make small things, but they are all things that are not on the stage. How can she be compared with Mr. Fang? I am afraid when I hear it. Just stop talking."

"What is Mrs. Ouyang afraid of?" The woman on the opposite side said with a smile: "Who doesn't know that the next Patriarch Ouyang will be your son, and now even the daughter will be added to the official position. With such a pair of children, we are afraid that we will not be able to do so in our dreams." I can't be envious."

Mrs. Ouyang was said to be unable to come down from the stage by everyone, but Ouyang Zirou, who was sitting in the lower seat, ate and drank without realizing it, until Fang Zitong who was beside her pushed her, "People are going to put fire on you, and you still Can you eat it?"

"What fire?" Ouyang Zirou looked blank, and then said indifferently: "With my mother here, even if there is fire, it won't burn me."

Fang Zitong glanced at Mrs. Ouyang's pale face, and shook her head helplessly.

Ouyang Zirou pushed a pastry in front of Fang Zitong, "Try this, I guess it's probably made by the master of Sufangzhai."

"You've always been particular about eating and drinking, so you won't guess wrong." Fang Zitong picked up a piece and sighed, "Zirou, when will you grow snacks?"

"What snack?" Ouyang Zirou hadn't swallowed anything yet, her cheeks were bulging like a little hamster, making her cheeks more round.

Fang Zitong blocked the view from the side, and reminded in a low voice: "Talk after eating."

Ouyang Zirou half covered her face with a silk handkerchief, quickly swallowed what was in her mouth, then picked up the teacup Fang Zitong handed her, and took a sip lightly.

The woman sitting on the other side of Ouyang Zirou couldn't help asking, "Zirou, I heard that you are going to be an official. Is this true?"

"What official position?" Ouyang Zirou waved his hand, "There's nothing wrong with it, don't talk nonsense."

Not far away, Fang Zilan had a panoramic view of their words and deeds, and thought that Ouyang Zirou's ability to fool her was really good.

It's no wonder that from the time she and Ouyang Zirou first met, there was a subtle sense of disobedience. She was obviously a daughter of a family with good manners and manners, but she had a careless and heartless appearance.Now it seems that Ouyang Zirou's heart is like a mirror, so it's no wonder that she will handkerchief with a domineering straight man like Fang Zitong.

"Why are you just talking nonsense?" Mrs. Chen listened to her cleverly, and immediately opened the chatter box, "Your Majesty's golden words, can it still be a joke?"

"I can't." Fang Zilan walked to the chief seat and sat down, looked at Mrs. Chen and said, "But I want to ask Mrs. Chen, when did you hear that His Majesty promised to give Zirou an official position? Is there a decree or an oral order?"

"This..." Mrs. Chen gave a dry laugh. Before she could say anything, she heard Fang Zilan say: "Mrs. Chen reacted like this. It seems that there is neither a clear order nor a verbal order. No wonder I don't know anything about it."

"Lord Fang..." Mrs. Chen was about to speak, but was stopped by Fang Zilan again, "Mrs. Chen, as an official of the imperial court, I would like to remind you kindly. Fabricating your Majesty's words out of thin air, at least it is gossip after dinner, and at most It’s too big to say that it’s a false preaching of the holy will with ulterior motives, and if it’s not done well, it will cause some crimes.”

Mrs. Chen's face suddenly changed, "I didn't mean that..."

"Of course I know that Mrs. Chen didn't mean that, but..." Fang Zilan paused, her expression a bit sharp, "As a member of the official family, Mrs. Chen should pay attention to her words and deeds. After all, I am more than a country At the banquet of Gongfang Zilan, there should be no gossip to spread rumors."

As soon as she finished speaking, Mrs. Chen's face was as white as paper, "What Mr. Fang said is true. I made mistakes in my words and deeds. I hope Mr. Fang will forgive me."

"Madam Chen is serious." Fang Zilan gave Xiao Xuan'er a look, and she immediately poured a cup of tea and brought it over.

"Today's banquet is for the exchange of feelings between the various governments. You may not take it seriously when you talk and laugh." Fang Zilan took the teacup, "If you have heard some jokes, ladies and ladies, you might as well laugh it off. Fang Zilan is here to serve tea instead of wine. Let's have a drink."

"Lord Fang, you're being polite." All the wives raised their glasses one after another, covering up the matter of Li Shengxuan's offer to Ouyang Zirou's official position while chatting and laughing.

However, Mrs. Ouyang felt a lump in her heart, and after the meeting ended and returned home, she couldn't wait to call Ouyang Zirou to her room.
