Fang Zilan looked at Master Yuan fixedly, not understanding why he would speak for Fang Ziqin.Just now in the courtyard she spoke for Zhuge Yu, and his boast of being righteous is justified, after all, he and Zhuge Yu were brothers before he became a monk, but what does Fang Ziqin have to do with him?

Seeing the people kneeling on the ground crying, Fang Zilan had a thought and said, "You offended Master Yuan, why don't you go to the Punishment Department to plead guilty?"

Hearing this, Master Liao Yuan clasped his hands together, "Amitabha, the poor monk spread the Dharma just to persuade people to be good. If these benefactors sincerely correct their mistakes, why should they suffer from punishment?"

Fang Zilan had some calculations in his mind, Master Liao Yuan not only spoke for Fang Ziqin, but also didn't want this matter to become a big deal, so thinking for Fang Ziqin's sake, the relationship between the two might be unusual.

So she changed her voice and said: "Since Master Liao Yuan doesn't want you to be punished, let's forget about it. If you dare to gossip again in the future, I will definitely not forgive you if I find out."

"Thank you, my lord, thank you Master Yuan..." Several people hastily kowtowed to express their gratitude, and then left as if fleeing.

Master Liao Yuan led the three of them back to the front hall, "Amitabha, the poor monk still has to chant scriptures and pray for blessings, Mr. Fang, please do it yourself."

"Master Yuan, let's get busy, I won't disturb Master." Fang Zilan returned the salute, and led Vice General Cao and A Wan out of the main hall.

She stopped at the door for a while, watched Master Yuan lift his cassock, sat on the futon in front of the Buddha, and recited Buddhist scriptures plausibly while knocking on the wooden fish.

Could it be that she was thinking too much?Forget it, she shook her head, turned and left.

After Fang Zilan left, Master Liao Yuan stopped knocking on the wooden fish and let out a long sigh of relief.

The little novice at the side couldn't help but said: "Master, when you knocked on the wooden fish just now, it hit a lot harder."

Master Liao Yuan didn't answer, but just recited scriptures silently.From the shape of his mouth, the little novice could vaguely see that he was reciting the mantra of pure heart.

The little novice monk was a little curious, why did he have to recite the mantra of pure heart when he chanted scriptures and prayed for blessings?
However, he didn't dare to ask too many questions. Every time he went to the palace with his master to do things, he always felt that his master was different from usual.

After Fang Zilan brought Vice General Cao and A Wan back to the mansion, Shangguan Min pestered her for advice, while Wen Ya watched her take medicine and rest, time passed extremely quickly, and it was the day before New Year's Eve in a blink of an eye.

In the early morning of this day, Fang Zilan supervised Shangguan Min's morning class as usual.She watched Shangguan Min practice the gun, but her thoughts drifted further and further away.

Tomorrow is New Year's Eve, and Mo Han will not come back to celebrate the New Year.The same goes for this child, if she doesn't come back, she won't know how to write a letter to her...

Speaking of letters, Mrs. Zhong Yao from the northern border sent her a New Year's congratulatory letter, and Lao Li and Qi Yuming also wrote back to her, saying that they wanted Shangguan Min to stay in the capital with peace of mind, and they would take care of the rest.

However, Shangguan Minzong stayed in the capital, and he might not stay for too long. When Huangfu's family returned to the northern border, he would go back with him.

When did the Huangfu family return to the north?After Spring Hunting?She went to Mushan Pass during Spring Hunting this year, and if Spring Hunting next year has nothing to do, she should go with her...

"Lord Fang, Miss Ouyang is here to visit." The butler came in a hurry and interrupted Fang Zilan's thoughts.She collected herself and asked, "Which Miss Ouyang?"

The butler said: "Miss Ouyang Zirou from the Ouyang family, do you want to invite her in?"

"Please come in." After Fang Zilan finished speaking, she stood up and rushed to Shangguan Min and said, "There is a guest here, I'll go ahead and have a look."

Shangguan Min said hello, and Fang Zilan went straight to the front hall. Just as she sat down, she saw the housekeeper leading Ouyang Zirou in.

Ouyang Zirou took off the cloak, walked quickly to Fang Zilan, looked at the back and said: "Master Fang's complexion looks good, but he has lost a lot of weight and looks haggard. I wonder if Mr. Fang's illness is better?"

"I'm sorry for Lao Zirou." Fang Zilan smiled slightly, "I'm fine, I'm much better now."

Ouyang Zirou looked around, the whole hall was warmed like spring by the brazier.Seeing this, she felt relieved, "Lord Fang still needs to pay more attention, the winter in the capital is cold, so don't be careless."

"Zirou has a heart." Fang Zilan nodded slightly and said, "I don't know if Zirou is here today, but what's the matter?"

Ouyang Zirou walked back to her seat and sat down, "Can't I come and see Master Fang if I'm fine?"

"Yes." Fang Zilan couldn't help smiling, Ouyang Zirou pursed her lips and said, "But I do have one thing, I want to ask Mr. Fang for help."

Fang Zilan smiled and said, "Zirou, but it's okay to say."

"It's like this." Ouyang Zirou said slowly: "Your Majesty wants to set up a special position for me in the Ministry of Industry, but my family members refuse to agree, so I have to quietly ask His Majesty. Your Majesty promised that if I can help the military workshop Improve the crossbow, no matter what my family says or does, he will let me work in the Ministry of Industry."

"This is a good thing." Fang Zilan praised: "So Zirou wants me to show you how about the improved crossbow?"

"Exactly." Ouyang Zirou nodded and called her servant who was guarding the door to come in.

The servant walked up to Fang Zilan holding the box, she opened the lid, and there was a bow inside.She picked it up casually, a look of surprise flashed in her eyes, "So light?"

Ouyang Zirou said seriously: "Lord Fang, don't underestimate this bow. Although it is lighter, its shooting range is comparable to that of ordinary heavy bows."

Hearing what she said, Fang Zilan raised his hand and pulled the bowstring, "This bowstring..."

"The method of making is kept secret." Ouyang Zirou smiled at one moment with crooked eyebrows, but flattened her mouth the next moment, "But the materials used to make this bowstring are rare. Therefore, I would like to ask Mr. Fang to help me see how the effect is. If the effect is good, I will try to solve the problem of materials.”

Fang Zilan pondered for a long time before saying: "Although I can make bows and arrows, I am not an expert."

Ouyang Zirou's almond eyes flashed and flickered, the light in her eyes was like a butterfly fluttering lightly, and the fluttering of her butterfly wings made her more charming, "If Master Fang, you don't want to help me, I'm afraid no one in the capital can help me."

"Who said I won't help?" Fang Zilan smiled, "It's a coincidence that you came here. I have a new apprentice. He has a lot of experience in bows and arrows. He is half an expert. I will let him help you."

Ouyang Zirou asked curiously: "I don't know who is so lucky to have Mr. Fang accept you as an apprentice?"

Fang Zilan hesitated for a moment, and Ouyang Zirou said sharply: "Is there anything special about this person?"

"It's okay to tell you." Fang Zilan's expression became a little serious, and she reminded: "But you have to keep it secret for me."

"No problem." Ouyang Zirou agreed quickly, Fang Zilan took a deep breath, "The apprentice I accepted is Shangguanmin."

Ouyang Zirou repeated the name and suddenly understood, "The orphan of the Shangguan family?"

Fang Zilan hummed, Ouyang Zirou knew the seriousness, and immediately said: "Master Fang, don't worry, I will never say anything."

"Of course I believe you." Fang Zilan relaxed, "Let's go, I'll take you to him and let him help you see how this bow is."

 Ouyang Zirou's cutie comes on stage again, can the improved bow and crossbow be successful?Will her dream of joining the Ministry of Workers come true?Stay tuned~
