Chapter 281 I really don’t know you
"Which girl did you offend? She followed you all the way to the theater."
Hearing his friend's teasing voice, Fang Liangji rolled his eyes and said, "I can't be like you, flirting with women everywhere, even though I don't know the people below."
Sun Yongyi smiled and waved his fan, "Don't be so confident. Think about it carefully. Maybe a young lady from a good family has taken a fancy to you. Now that she heard you're about to get engaged, she can't sit still. Maybe she'll come to us later."
Fang Liangji didn't bother to pay attention to his bad friend and looked at his uncle who was sitting in the main seat and drinking tea with his head down.
Said to be my uncle
In fact, he is only about the same age as him, and he is a few months older.
"Uncle, I really am."
Fang Liangji knew that the direct descendants of the Fang family attached great importance to rules and personal conduct, and wanted to explain a few things, but as soon as he opened his mouth, he was interrupted by someone.
Fang Hao put down his teacup nonchalantly, and the glint in his eyes made Sun Yongyi, the son of the Chamber of Commerce president, dare not underestimate him: "You don't have to explain these trivial matters to me."
Fang Liangji smiled bitterly and said nothing more.
His family is just a branch of the Ji Guang Fang family, and is separated from the main branch by several generations. Now they can only do business in Zhongzhou with the help of their ancestors. Although they usually exchange annual gifts with the main branch, they are not close at all.
There are some words and some things that really don't need to be said in detail.
His family wanted to be close to the direct descendants, but they also knew that without the corresponding bargaining chips, the direct descendants would not care about them at all.
He really didn't expect that this time when he got engaged to the Li family, the direct branch would actually send someone, and the person in charge was the head of the fifth branch.
Fang Liangji carefully looked at the resolute-looking fifth master in front of him. He had heard a lot about his deeds. Because he lost his father at a young age, he managed to take on the responsibility of the fifth branch at a young age.
Although he was only eighteen, he was already a juren, and he also managed the household affairs very well, so that no one in the direct branch dared to look down on him.
Every time he heard this, he was filled with admiration.
Fang Hao ignored the other two people in the box and looked downstairs with a gleam in his eyes.
This girl from Zhongzhou has some bad manners. She actually came to the theater so openly!
Downstairs, Dong Yuanyao negotiated with the waiter for a while, but the waiter still apologized with a bitter face, saying that all the reserved private rooms for today were occupied and there was no room left.
Seeing that some people in the hall were already looking at them, Daohua didn't want to draw attention to herself, so she pulled Dong Yuanyao and said, "Forget it, let's just find a corner and sit down."
Dong Yuanyao looked somewhat reluctant, and it was obvious that the waiter was really at his wit's end, so he could only say "hmm".
Finally, Daohua and his group sat in the last corner of the lobby.
The waiter brought the tea and snacks and was about to leave when Daohua called him.
Daohua placed a silver coin on the table and looked at the waiter: "I want to ask you something."
The waiter glanced at Yinluozi, then looked away again, saying with a wry smile, "Sir, what do you want to know?"
Daohua: "Do you know the young master of the Fang family?"
When the waiter heard that this was the question, he quickly put the silver coins on the table into his sleeve and said, "I know him. Mr. Fang is also here at our theater today. He's listening to the opera in the box right now."
If the matter he was inquiring about involved the government, he would naturally not say much, but for businessmen, there would be no need to be too secretive.
Daohua and Dong Yuanyao looked at each other and asked, "Which box is he in?"
The waiter turned around and looked up at the second floor: "Yes, it's in the box next to it."
Daohua and Dong Yuanyao turned around at the same time and happened to see Fang Hao and the other two who were looking down.
When they saw the two people's faces, Fang Hao and the other two's eyes lit up. They had only heard the voices but did not see the people.
"Oh, those two little brothers are so handsome." Sun Yongyi said jokingly and winked at Fang Liangji.
Those four maids were women dressed as men, needless to say, and the two young masters must have been the same.
Fang Liangji frowned. He hadn't paid much attention to it before, but this time he tried to recall it carefully. However, he still couldn't remember who those two people were.
"I don't really know them."
If he had seen such a person, he would definitely have been impressed.
Daohua and Dong Yuanyao took a look at the box and then looked away.
"It seems like they are here just to listen to the opera."
Rice Flower whispered.
At this time, a grandfather and grandson appeared on the stage.
Grandpa plays the violin and his granddaughter sings.
Daohua was puzzled and looked at Dong Yuanyao: "Isn't this a theater? Why are there people singing?"
Dong Yuanyao chuckled, "Men, don't they all like pretty girls? The theater is a business, so we do whatever makes money."
"Look at that girl singing the song. She has big, watery eyes and looks so pitiful. After she finishes singing, she will definitely receive a lot of tips."
As he spoke, he paused and looked at the rice flowers.
"Do you still want to test your future cousin-in-law?"
Daohua glanced at the second-floor box and asked, "How do you test me?"
Dong Yuanyao: "It's a beauty trap!" He nodded his chin towards the stage, "The beauties are already there."
Daohua frowned: "That's not good, she comes out to sing songs, it's also a legitimate way to make a living."
Dong Yuanyao sneered immediately: "Yes, the girls who sing in ordinary teahouses are those whose families can't make ends meet and have to go out to make a living. Maybe those who come to sing in this theater are usually specially trained."
"Do you really think there are girls with natural singing voices everywhere?" He looked towards the stage. "Look closely at the eyes of that girl on the stage. Don't they look like they can capture your soul?"
Daohua looked at it carefully and nodded. It was indeed very charming and moving.
Dong Yuanyao: "Can an ordinary poor girl have such eyes? I tell you the truth, I have been to this theater several times, and the girls who come to sing are different every time."
"These girls all have a pair of discerning eyes. Once they spot a man who is infatuated, gentle, and lacks self-control, they will immediately cling to him and can't get rid of him."
Hearing these words, Daohua was amazed, and then looked at Dong Yuanyao in surprise: "Dong Yuanyao, I find that you know a lot!"
Dong Yuanyao immediately smiled proudly: "The more you see, the more knowledge you gain!"
Daohua also smiled. She didn’t think there was anything wrong with knowing these things. Seeing more about the world can broaden your horizons and temper your mind. It’s pretty good.
Seeing that there was nothing unusual on Daohua's face, Dong Yuanyao's smile deepened.
She only knew how to say these things to Daohua. She wouldn't feel disgusted, nor would she advise her, saying that she didn't have the reserve of a girl.
Her vision is still good, this guy is indeed a confidant.
Dong Yuanyao asked again: "How about it, do you want to take the test?"
Daohua glanced at the charming singing girl on the stage and hesitated for a moment: "How do you test me?"
Dong Yuanyao smiled and said, "Give that girl some money and let her seduce your future cousin-in-law. We don't have to do it ourselves. If you want to distance yourself from it, you can hire someone to do it."
