Fang Li was sitting in a small teahouse on the side of the road, searching for his target among the passers-by.
Last time, the little girl from Yinjiazhuang made him a small profit. This time, he is going to find a fat sheep and get a big ticket.
Thinking of this, he couldn't help but feel a little proud. Women are really idiots, and you can fool them around by hooking your little finger.
As if God sensed his thoughts, a pink figure stumbled into his sight.
Fang Li's eyes lit up, what a beautiful girl!
"Don't you have eyes? Can you walk!" The pink-clothed woman walked on the street in disbelief, bumping into passersby from time to time. Suddenly, a little boy ran from a distance with a windmill in his hand, and slammed into the woman in pink, and both fell to the ground.
The little boy quickly got up from the ground and continued to run forward with the windmill. The woman's burden fell to the ground, and some of the gold and silver jewelry inside were scattered.
Fang Li stared straight at the gold and silver jewelry, thinking that God really treated him well and gave him such a beautiful fat sheep.
The woman absentmindedly put the things that fell on the ground into her bag. Suddenly, a pair of white cloth boots stood in front of her. The woman raised her head and saw a delicate and gentle face.
Heh, Yin Yin sneered in his heart, wearing this little white face can really deceive many women.
"This girl, do you need help?" Fang Li crouched down and smiled softly at Yin Yin.
Yin Yin looked at Fang Li for a while, then nodded and said, "Thank you for this son."
After Fang Li helped Yin Yin to pack up the things, he said, "Salute below, may I invite the girl to have a cup of tea?"
Yin Yin hesitated for a while while holding the burden, but followed Fang Li into the small teahouse in front.
Fang Li poured a cup of tea for Yin Yin and said, "Excuse me for being abrupt, did the girl encounter any trouble?"
He didn't ask, but Yin Yin's tears fell like broken beads.
Fang Li hurriedly said, "Don't cry, girl, if you have anything, just tell me, as long as you can help me, I'll be obliged."
Yin Yin looked at Fang Li with tears in his eyes, and said, "Tell me, the youngest daughter is Zhang Qiaoer, the daughter of Zhang Yuanwai from the neighboring county. This time I came to Shuntian to see my cousin, who has been with me since I was a child. Dear baby, now my father is seriously ill, and I want to entrust Qiaoer and the family business to my cousin, but he...he..." Yin Yin was sobbing here, Fang Li patted Yin Yin's hand comfortingly, " What's up with him?"
"He fell in love with the eldest lady of Yinjiazhuang, and said that he wanted to marry her, and he would not come with me." Yin Yin wiped his tears and continued, "Although our Zhang family is not as good as the Yin family's. Wealth can rival the country, but it can be considered a land and a house. If it weren’t for my father’s short time, I wouldn’t beg him in such a low voice. It’s just that I’m not a man, so I can’t inherit the family business and help my father share his worries.”
Fang Li was overjoyed, such a big piece of pie hit him so impartially!
"With Miss Zhang's family background and appearance, I don't have to worry about finding a good husband's family." Although he was secretly happy, Fang Li still pretended to be gentle and comforted Yin Yin.
Yin Yin sighed and said, "My mother passed away early, and my father always loved me the most. Even at this time, he was unwilling to entrust Qiao'er to others casually. Only my cousin grew up under my father's watch. The trust has increased. I didn't expect my cousin to come to Suntian for only a year, and he has completely changed."
Fang Li held Yin Yin's hand with tenderness in his eyes, "Although it is presumptuous to say this, I fell in love with the young lady at first sight. I can't bear to see the young lady being so sad. I wonder if I can share my worries for the young lady?"
"You?" Yin Yin withdrew his hand, a blush flashed across his face, "My son and I just met by chance, and I really don't dare to bother my son."
Fang Li felt that there was drama, and continued to say affectionately: "Can you believe in fate, Miss? The first time I saw Miss, I felt that Miss is the fate destined for my life."
Yin Yin's face was so red that he stammered and said, "The little girl can't control this matter, she has to ask her father for instructions."
Fang Li smiled innocently, "Then let Uncle Zhang call the shots."
********
Fang Li followed Yin Yin to Zhang Yuanwai's mansion.
Zhang Mansion was built on the river, and the surrounding environment was quiet. Yin Yin did not bring Fang Li to the main entrance, but entered the mansion from the side door.
Fang Li wondered, "Why don't you go through the main entrance?"
Yin Yin lowered his eyes and said shyly, "Qiao'er is still waiting in the boudoir, so it's inconvenient to bring Young Master Fang in through the main entrance."
Fang Li nodded clearly, "Miss Zhang is thinking about it."
"Miss, you're finally back!" A maid ran out of the house and yelled at Yin Yin anxiously.
Yin Yin looked at the person in surprise and asked, "Xiao Cui, what's wrong?"
"Miss, the lord's illness is getting worse and worse. I'm afraid... I'm afraid..."
Yin Yin grabbed Xiao Cui's arm and said anxiously, "Take me to see Daddy quickly."
Xiao Cui walked quickly towards the room with Yin Yin, Fang Li glanced at it, and quickly followed.
In Master Zhang's room, there was also a servant girl who was waiting on him, and it was Sang Mei who was pretending to be. The one lying on the bed was not Zhang Yuanwai, but a Taoist priest. Of course, it is impossible to know these rituals.
"Father, how are you?" Yin Yin rushed to the bed as soon as he entered the door, the Taoist priest coughed a few times, his face pale, "Qiaoer, you are finally back, father thought he would never see you again. "
"Dad, what nonsense are you talking about!" Yin Yin glared at the Taoist priest in dissatisfaction, and the Taoist priest coughed a few more times and asked, "Where's your cousin?"
Yin Yin's eyes dimmed as soon as he heard the words "cousin", "Cousin, he fell in love with someone else." One kiss made him sick.
When the Taoist heard this, his face turned pale again, "This white-eyed wolf, we treated him well at the beginning, but now he has changed his mind!"
"Father, don't mention this heartless man again." Yin Yin's eyes turned red again.
Fang Li seized the opportunity and knelt down, "Mr. Zhang, please give me Qiao'er as a betrothal!"
The Taoist priest glanced at Fang Li, who was kneeling on the ground, and asked, "Daughter, whose son is this?"
"This gentleman's surname is Fang Mingli, whom my daughter met on the road and has always taken good care of her." Yin Yin lowered his eyelids and said shyly.
The Taoist priest looked at Fang Li again and said, "Daughter, this poor boy can't believe it. They must have approached you for the money of our Zhang family. How can your father give you to such a person with confidence?"
Fang Li said sincerely: "Mr. Zhang, little nephew has no hypocrisy towards Qiao'er. I really like her."
The Taoist snorted: "I've seen people like you a lot. Which one isn't interested in our family's property?"
Fang Li said neither humble nor arrogant: "Mr. Zhang, although my little nephew's family is not as wealthy as Zhang's family, they have been running a small business and have several thousand taels of savings. If Qiaoer marry me, I will never let her Eat half the pain."
shit.
Yin Yin couldn't help but scolded in his heart, deceived people to get rich. This is it.
Yin Yin blushed and said to the Taoist priest, "Dad, my daughter believes in Mr. Fang's conduct."
"Qiao'er..." The Taoist wanted to persuade a few words, but he coughed violently. Sang Mei quickly stepped forward to support the Taoist.
The Taoist priest took the handkerchief that Sang Mei handed over, covered his mouth and coughed non-stop, and Sang Mei kept going with him.
"Dad, are you alright?" Yin Yin surrounded him with concern, the Taoist priest put down his handkerchief, and there was a cloud of scarlet blood on it.
"Master, you vomited blood?!" Sang Mei looked at the blood on the handkerchief in surprise, and Yin Yin was also anxious, "Xiao Cui, go and ask the doctor!"
"Yes miss!"
"Wait!" The Taoist priest stopped Xiao Cui, "It's useless, I'm afraid I won't live long." After speaking, he looked at Fang Li with a complicated expression, "Mr. Fang, if it wasn't for my death, would I? Will be in a hurry to marry Qiao'er."
Fang Li said, "How can Zhang Yuanwai believe my sincerity towards Qiao'er?"
The Taoist priest pondered for a moment and said, "Well, you come to propose marriage tomorrow with a dowry gift, and let me see your sincerity."
Fang Li immediately smiled, "No problem."
The next day, Fang Li happily came to Zhang Mansion to propose marriage with a dowry gift.
Because Zhang Yuanwai specially explained that the news of his serious illness was kept secret from the outside world, so he tried to keep a low profile, so Fang Li only took a few gift boxes and went to Zhang residence alone.
Xiao Cui had been waiting at the back door for a long time, and when she saw Fang Li, she hurried up to greet him, "You can only go through the back door because of the grievances, Mr. Zhang. If the news of the master's serious illness spreads, it is estimated that the door to Zhang's house will be smashed by those who come to propose marriage. Yes." The devil president, the sweet wife does not serve
Fang Li didn't mind, "It's okay, take me to see Member Zhang."
Xiao Cui took the gift box in Fang Li's hand and walked with Fang Li to the room outside Member Zhang.
The door was pushed open from the inside, and Sang Mei turned sideways and said, "Mr. Fang, the master and the young lady are waiting in the room."
As soon as Fang Li entered the room, he smelled a strong medicinal smell, and there was a bowl of half-drinked Chinese medicine on the table.
The Taoist priest seemed to be paler than yesterday, lying on the bed dying.
"Is Member Zhang all right?" Fang Li asked with concern, Yin Yin shook her head gloomily, her eyes were red, as if she had just cried.
Fang Li thought to himself, it seems that this member Zhang is really dying.
Xiaocui put the gift box on the table and began to count.
In addition to some gold and silver jewelry, there are also five thousand taels of silver bills.
Fang Li said: "My little nephew knows that this money is not worth mentioning to the Zhang family, but it is also my heart for Qiaoer."
The Taoist priest looked at the gift box, nodded, and said weakly: "The sincerity of Mr. Fang has been felt by the old man. Since the little girl is also favored by the other gentleman, then Mr. Fang will come to marry the little girl tomorrow."
Fang Li smiled so much that his eyes narrowed, "My little nephew will come early tomorrow morning."
Yin Yin glanced at Fang Li shyly, blushing and burying his head.
This scene made Fang Li's heart skip a beat. This time, he really got lucky. Not only did he get the property of the Zhang family, but he also brought back the beautiful woman.
After Fang Li left, the Taoist priest immediately jumped up from the bed, "My God! If everyone was so easy to deceive me, I would have become a millionaire!"
Yin Yin sneered in his heart, this game is actually very simple, if Fang Li was too greedy, it would not have gone so smoothly.
In the past few days, Yin Yin has been preparing for this game, and everything else is used to think about - what color is Ji Ting's clothes
However, this question troubled Yin Yin for three days, but he still did not come to a conclusion, so Yin Yin attributed it to his memory disorder.
Yin Yin took out one hundred taels of silver notes and handed it to Xiao Cui, "I have to trouble Miss Xiao Cui to deal with the aftermath."
Xiao Cui took the silver and said with a smile, "No trouble, no trouble. Next time you want to do this kind of business, remember to call me again."
The Taoist priest also took one hundred taels of silver notes and left happily.
Yin Yin glanced at Sang Mei and said, "Miss Sang, let's go back to Shuntian first."
Sang Mei responded, packed her things, and followed Yin Yin out of the city.
