Chapter 289, Bank Run
"Ji Guang Fang family?"
Xiao Yeyang raised his eyebrows and looked at the young man in front of him: "The Imperial College's chief academic officer is you."
Fang Hao replied respectfully, "My Lord, this is my student's uncle."
Xiao Yeyang nodded. During the last flood in Ji-Guang, the Fang family made great efforts and helped his uncle a lot. Now that he met the direct descendants of the Fang family here, he had to give them some face and say a few words.
"Why are you here?"
"A younger member of the clan is getting engaged, and I've come to congratulate you." Fang Hao pointed at Fang Liangji and said, "This is my nephew." Then he said to Fang Liangji, "Why don't you come over and meet the young prince quickly?"
Fang Liangji stepped forward nervously and said, "I, Fang Liangji, greet the young prince."
Xiao Yeyang raised his hand slightly, glanced at Fang Liangji casually, then looked away without saying anything.
As for Sun Yongyi and others who followed Fang Hao and Fang Liangji, he didn't even give them a glance.
The children of officials may not look down on the children of businessmen, but they will definitely not take the initiative to make friends with them.
There's no way, the two parties are not from the same circle.
Dong Yuanxuan, Su Hongxin, Zhou Chengye and others greeted Fang Hao and introduced themselves to each other. For the sake of the Yan family, they nodded to Fang Liangji, which was considered a greeting.
At this time, Yan Wenkai walked forward with a smile and said, "Isn't this my cousin's husband?"
"Fourth brother, what are you yelling about?"
Daohua interrupted Yan Wenkai.
Yan Wenkai turned around in surprise: "Isn't he engaged to my cousin Zixuan? I'm right to call him my cousin-in-law."
Daohua glanced at Fang Liangji and said calmly, "It's an engagement, not a marriage."
Yan Wenkai smiled: "What's the difference?"
Daohua: "Of course it's different. Engagement is engagement, marriage is marriage. You're calling it too early."
At this moment, Yan Wenkai realized something was wrong. He looked at his sister, then glanced at Fang Liangji who looked embarrassed. Did this guy offend her?
Seeing Daohua's angry look, Xiao Yeyang lowered his eyes and pondered for a moment, then asked with a smile, "I noticed you were looking at that pavilion over there. Shall we go over there and sit down?"
Daohua nodded immediately: "Okay, I just saw Master Fang enjoying his snacks, so I'll go over and try some too."
"And me." Dong Yuanyao took over, "I want to try it too. What kind of cake is it? I can't help myself. I have to be fed by others."
After listening to what the two said, Xiao Yeyang and Dong Yuanxuan's expressions changed, while Fang Liangji looked embarrassed and regretful.
Fang Hao also frowned and glanced unhappily at Fang Liangji and Sun Yongyi beside him.
"You two are not polite at all!"
Dong Yuanxuan saw Daohua and Dong Yuanyao walking towards the pavilion first, and smiled at Fang Hao and the others: "My sister is rude, please don't blame me!"
Fang Hao quickly smiled and said, "Mr. Dong, you're too polite."
Then, the group walked towards the pavilion.
Fang Hao and his companions were the last to come.
Looking at Daohua and Dong Yuanyao who were walking side by side with the young prince in the front, Fang Hao's eyes flashed: "It's them!"
Although he had guessed the identities of the two people when he was at the Baixi Tower, he didn't know who was who.
I finally figured it out today.
The one wearing a blue cloak is the daughter of the newly appointed Ningmen Prefecture Governor, Lord Yan; and the one wearing a red cloak is the daughter of the Governor.
Fang Liangji heard Fang Hao's murmur and asked, "Uncle, do you know them?"
Fang Hao didn't answer, but glanced at Fang Liangji: "If Miss Yan wants to cause you trouble later, you should think carefully. You should understand what she meant just now, right?"
Fang Liangji was stunned, as if he didn't understand.
Seeing him like this, Fang Hao shook his head and said, "It's not uncommon for people to get engaged and then call it off." After saying that, he strode after him.
Fang Liangji's expression changed drastically, and then he looked annoyed.
He didn't expect that Miss Yan would catch him while Sister Sun was feeding him.
Sun Yongyi patted his shoulder apologetically and said, "Jiayue is sorry for causing you trouble."
He knew that his younger sister liked his good friend, and the elders in his family did not object to the marriage between the two families. However, the Fang family did not like his younger sister.
Today, Liangji only invited himself. He couldn't resist his sister's pleading and brought her along.
In the pavilion, Sun Jiayue, Fang Yiyu and other girls saw Daohua and his group walking towards the pavilion, and they all stood up and looked at Xiao Yeyang and the others shyly.
Daohua stepped into the pavilion and looked at Sun Jiayue with a smile: "Who is it, young lady?"
Sun Jiayue saluted Xiao Yeyang and the others before introducing herself with a smile: "I am the daughter of the president of the Zhongzhou Chamber of Commerce, Sun Jiayue."
Several other girls also took the initiative to greet him.
Although he was talking to Daohua and Dong Yuanyao, his eyes were indeed on Xiao Yeyang and the others.
Daohua and Dong Yuanyao, who were forced to be stepping stones, felt very annoyed. They returned the gift perfunctorily and walked straight to the place where the pastries were placed and sat down.
"It's not that I look down on merchant families, it's just that the rules of some merchant families are too unruly. Only then would their daughters introduce themselves to a stranger they meet for the first time."
There was contempt in Dong Yuanyao's eyes.
Daohua's expression didn't change. For her, just introducing each other's names was nothing. However, she couldn't accept that an engaged man was being fed by other women.
Seeing Daohua holding a piece of cake, Yan Wenkai walked over with a smile: "What kind of cake is this? Is it delicious?"
Just then, Fang Liangji and the others walked into the pavilion. Daohua's eyes turned and she said with a smile, "This is glutinous rice cake. As for whether it tastes good, you'll have to ask Master Fang."
Fang Liangji was stunned for a moment, then smiled awkwardly.
Dong Yuanyao also particularly disliked men who were fickle, and immediately sneered, "Master Fang, don't just smile and say nothing. If it tastes good, I'll ask the cook at home to make a few pieces for you to try when I get home."
Fang Liangji: "It's okay."
Hearing this, Daohua sneered and casually threw the glutinous rice cake into the plate: "Master Fang, are you tired of the snacks at home and want to try something new? Even if it's just okay, you can't bear to spit it out?"
Yan Wenkai felt that his sister was a little angry, but when he thought about the fact that Fang Liangji was his future uncle-in-law after all, and he didn't want to make the relationship too awkward, he smiled and walked to Fang Liangji.
"Brother-in-law, oh, no, Brother Fang, I think we should be more particular about food. If we can avoid eating food from outside, we'd better not eat it, otherwise we will get an upset stomach."
Daohua continued, "A stomach upset is the least of my worries. I'm just worried about some cakes being too sticky and impossible to get rid of."
Dong Yuanyao shook his head and said, "Having a stomach upset is no small matter. If this glutinous rice cake conflicts with other foods you eat, you might lose half your life."
Yan Wenkai was surprised and said, "Lose your life? That's not possible!"
Daohua: "Even if he doesn't die, he'll have to poop for several days. Fourth brother, have you forgotten that you collapsed from poop in Xingyun Mansion?"
Yan Wenkai shuddered at the thought of his past experience and quickly echoed his sister's words, "Yes, yes, this glutinous rice cake is sticky and hard to digest. It's really not a particularly delicious dessert. Brother Fang, don't eat it anymore."
Although Yan Wenkai's ideas were not on the same channel as Daohua and Dong Yuanyao's, what he said was very consistent with theirs.
Xiao Yeyang and others in the pavilion saw Daohua and the other two joining hands to bully Fang Liangji. Although they didn't know how Fang Liangji had offended these two little ancestors, they still watched with interest.
Fang Hao's gaze kept moving between Daohua and Dong Yuanyao. Seeing that his nephew was speechless due to being bullied, he immediately shook his head and sighed.
He was unlucky enough to meet these two little girls who were not even afraid of the plague.
Sun Yongyi and Sun Jiayue looked a little unhappy.
