Chapter 207 She is shameless
Zhuo Yu lowered his eyes and nodded, then said, "Adoptive father, when the Fan family returns to Chen State, do you want to go with them?"
Zhuo Hongli was stunned and asked, "Why, do you want your godfather to go back earlier, or do you want to go back with him?"
Zhuo Yu shook his head and said, "No, I'm just asking. The Fan family will probably come back after they finish their business talks."
Zhuo Hongli was a little surprised by Zhuo Yu's attitude and didn't know what he was going to say.
"If you and Fan Mingzhu are attracted to each other, we can go back together this time and hold the wedding there right away. We have our own house in Chen State and will not treat Fan Mingzhu badly.
Of course, from what Master Fan said, he was hoping to find a son-in-law. Fan Mingzhu was his youngest daughter, and he was reluctant to let her get married. He even told others that anyone who was willing to marry would have a share of the Fan family's wealth in the future."
Zhuo Yu looked at Zhuo Hongli in shock and said, "Adoptive father, you, you want me to marry you?"
"Ahem, of course not. I'm just saying that Master Fan's intention mainly depends on you. But Yu'er, to be honest, if you marry into the Fan family, you won't have to worry about your life."
"Godfather, you have taught me so many skills. Even if I don't get married, I can still live a good life." Zhuo Yu said immediately.
Zhuo Hongli seemed pleased and said, "That's true. It's up to you. Your godfather is just giving you some advice."
Zhuo Yu could only nod, but his heart was chilled.
If his adoptive father had mentioned these things before, he would not have noticed anything, but after knowing his life experience, he felt that this adoptive father treated him just like that.
The carriage finally arrived in front of Ouyang's old house. The gate was particularly busy today, and there were many guards.
After Zhuo Yu and Zhuo Hongli got out of the car, the housekeeper of the Ouyang Mansion immediately came up to them with a smile.
"Mr. Zhuo, Mr. Zhuo, please come in quickly."
Zhuo Yu didn't know when his adoptive father became so familiar with the Ouyang family here. Now he realized that he really knew too little about his adoptive father.
Although the Ouyang old house is a bit old, it is large and luxurious, and is filled with exquisite and expensive furnishings.
The hall was very lively with many people sitting there. As soon as the two of them reached the door, a woman in a pink dress ran out.
When the woman saw the two men, she bowed and called out, "Uncle Zhuo, Brother Zhuo Yu, you are here."
Zhuo Hongli laughed and said, "Mingzhu has grown so big. She is getting more and more beautiful. Okay, Yu'er, she is Miss Fan Mingzhu."
"Hello, Miss Fan." Zhuo Yu took a look and found that Fan Mingzhu was pretty, but she looked shy at the moment.
But the hint of cunning can still be seen between his eyebrows.
What's more, there were so many people in the hall, and she just ran out to greet them. This woman actually has no knowledge of etiquette at all and is very shameless.
Fan Mingzhu was extremely happy. With shining eyes, she looked at the handsome Zhuo Yu in his new outfit and said quickly, "Brother Zhuo Yu, come in and sit down. I'll introduce my eldest brother to you."
At this time, Master Ouyang and Ouyang Cong came over and greeted Zhuo Hongli with a smile, and finally it was Fan Fengze, the eldest son of the Fan family.
Zhuo Hongli introduced Zhuo Yu briefly. Ouyang Cong narrowed his eyes. He was also very surprised to know that Zhuo Yu was the young master of Wanyao Pavilion.
Ouyang Cong is here because he is the eldest son of the Ouyang family and the most outstanding among his children. He is still unmarried, although he already has a marriage planned.
Mr. Ouyang is a rather shrewd and calculating person. He actually wants to see if Fan Mingzhu is suitable for the position of the eldest lady of the Ouyang family. This is also one of the reasons why he only brings his eldest son to meet guests.
But within two hours of the Fan family siblings arriving, he had already given up the idea.
This Fan Mingzhu has a good appearance, but her personality is simply that of a person who doesn't take others seriously and has no emotional intelligence at all. Such a person is really not suitable to enter the Ouyang family.
If a foolish and fierce woman has a strong family, her husband's family will probably be in turmoil and plagued by disasters.
It is better to choose a marriage for his son. Although it is not as good as the Ouyang family, the woman is well-educated and will not bring shame to the Ouyang family.
In fact, Ouyang Cong should have gotten married a long time ago, but Mr. Ouyang was also a little ambitious and wanted to climb up the social ladder.
So when Ouyang Cong liked Gao Pianran, the daughter of the Grand Tutor, he also agreed.
He thought Ouyang Cong could marry Gao Pianran, but he didn't expect that Gao Pianran looked down on Ouyang Cong from the beginning to the end, and even took advantage of him, and finally got together with the Fourth Prince.
Old Master Ouyang was so angry that he almost vomited blood, and he no longer expected his eldest son to marry into a wealthy family.
There is a world of difference between being a businessman and being a dignitary. You can maintain a good relationship with them for the sake of etiquette, but they are not willing to become in-laws.
Those who were willing to marry in were all illegitimate children, and the conditions were all Ouyang family's money, and they also asked for a lot. Mr. Ouyang was not a fool, so naturally he was unwilling.
But now Mr. Ouyang has figured it out. As long as he has money, the powerful will be willing to do things for him. There is nothing wrong with that.
After Zhuo Yu sat down, he felt cold all over. It was really Fan Mingzhu who was too shameless. She took the initiative to sit next to him, called Zhuo Yu brother all the time, poured him tea and water, and even gave him snacks.
He didn't want to pay attention, but Zhuo Hong, who was sitting opposite him, was staring at him, so he could only respond with a few perfunctory words with difficulty.
"Yu'er, take Miss Mingzhu around and let's talk about some business." Zhuo Hongli suddenly said.
Zhuo Yu was stunned, and Fan Fengze smiled and said, "Thank you very much, Master Zhuo. My sister loves to play, and this time she must have a good stroll in Qingyun Imperial City. I really have to trouble Master Zhuo Yu."
Zhuo Yu almost lost his temper, it was obvious that his adoptive father and Young Master Fan were in cahoots with each other and didn't care whether he was willing or not.
At this moment, Zhuo Yu felt that he was an extremely miserable chess piece.
"Brother Zhuo Yu, let's go shopping. I want to see the local customs and practices here." Fan Mingzhu's eyes sparkled, her face flushed, and she was very happy.
Ouyang Cong seemed to notice that Zhuo Yu was not feeling well, and with an idea in his mind, he smiled and said, "Call Lan'er, it would be better to have a girl accompany you."
Lan'er is Ouyang Lan, Ouyang Cong's cousin. She is a lively and lovely girl who loves shopping and playing very much.
Fan Mingzhu was unwilling and said directly: "No need, Brother Zhuoyu and I can do it alone. I have a lot to say to Brother Zhuoyu."
Ouyang Cong: “……!”
It seems that he is meddling too much. This woman is simply shameless.
Zhuo Yu frowned and said, "Miss Fan, it's against etiquette for only the two of us to go out."
"How is it against the rules? You're just taking me shopping. Brother Zhuoyu, are you unwilling?" Fan Mingzhu immediately got angry.
She is the most favored daughter of the Fan family. Anyone who dares to disobey her will be disapproved of. This habit has made her feel superior and she doesn't like people to contradict her.
Even if the man in front of her is someone she likes, she still wants to marry him.
Zhuo Yu stood up, looking grim. Just as he was about to speak, Zhuo Hongli said with a gloomy look, "Yu'er, you are a guest from afar, you should show your courtesy as a host."
