Chapter 14: The Banquet Opposite

The thatched house is in the side room at the back of the courtyard, and it is reached through a prototype carved arch, Liu Mu has been holding Fang Yanqing's sleeve, unwilling to let go, Fang Yanqing pointed to the hut and said, "Auntie, that room is a thatched house, you just go in and close the door, I will wait for you outside." ”

Mother Liu listened to Fang Yanqing's words, opened her mouth, as if she had something to say, and just as she was about to speak, a girl came out of the thatched house, and saw Fang Yanqing and Mother Liu standing outside. ”

Fang Yanqing nodded, and responded to the title, the girl saw that there was nothing to say, so she turned around and left, Liu Mu kept pursing her lips and didn't say a word, until the girl over there walked out of a distance, and then secretly took out a jade Buddha hanging with a red rope from her chest, stuffed it into Fang Yanqing, and then knelt in front of Fang Yanqing.

Fang Yanqing hurriedly grabbed Liu's mother's hand, helped Liu's mother, and said, "Auntie, you have something to say, what are you doing?"

Mother Liu looked at Fang Yanqing and said in a low voice, "Our family is an ordinary family, I originally wanted to find an ordinary person for her, an ordinary life, this mistakenly entered this deep house compound, and there must be unspeakable difficulties in the future, she is stubborn, she doesn't like to talk to me about these sad things, everyone has her mother's help, and we can't give her anything, I look for it, and only this one can take it." I begged the girl to be kind and handed it to her, which was originally intended to be given to her on the day she returned to Ningning, but she was afraid that her father would see it and take it to gamble again, so she thought of this loss to trouble the girl. ”

The thoughts of the mother and daughter are similar, Liu Yunfang is bent on hiding from her father to bring things to her mother, her mother is bent on hiding from her father to ask for things for her, Fang Yanqing helped Liu Mu, took out the brocade bag in her sleeve pocket, and said, "This is Yun... What my sister-in-law entrusted me to you is some of her thoughts. Fang Yanqing said and stuffed the brocade bag into Liu's mother's hand, Sister Yunfang on weekdays was used to it, and she changed it to a title for a while, and she was still a little unaccustomed to it, but fortunately she changed it.

Liu Mu looked at the brocade bag in her hand, shook it for a moment, and hurriedly stuffed it back, "How can this be done, I don't need any money and silver, this is better for her to stay on her body, and there must be a lot of money in this mansion......"

"Aunt," Fang Yanqing said, "This is a piece of my sister-in-law's heart, you miss her, she naturally misses you, you take this money, she lives here with peace of mind, and she can rest assured that she will accept what you give her, do you say?"

When Liu Mu heard Fang Yanqing's words, she hesitated a little and stopped stuffing things back, and Fang Yanqing saw that Liu Mu listened to it and continued.

"I'm running errands in the middle, if I only take your things back, and don't tell you what she gave me, my sister-in-law will inevitably have a gap in her heart, so my aunt will accept this money for the friendship between me and my sister-in-law, and for my sister-in-law's peace of mind, I can also tell my sister-in-law this thing, and let my sister-in-law accept this thing. ”

Liu Mu thought about it for a while, and also felt that Fang Yanqing was reasonable, nodded, and put the brocade bag away.

"Auntie, go in the hut and clean up, we've been talking here for so long, and my aunt will definitely call someone to look for it later." ”

Liu Mu nodded, said here for a while, there is no small understanding, at this time listening to Fang Yanqing, I also feel uncomfortable, so I went into the house to clean up, Liu Mu just entered the thatched house, I saw a girl walking over, straight to Fang Yanqing, when I walked in front of Fang Yanqing, I stopped all of a sudden, and said to Fang Yanqing,

Mrs. Liu asked Mrs. Liu, but she was a little uncomfortable, and the doctor in the house was just idle and could take a look at Mrs. Liu. ”

Mother Liu also heard the girl's words in the thatched house, and hurriedly shouted in a voice, "Don't bother, I'll be fine right away." ”

"That's fine, then I'll go back and talk to my wife first. When the girl heard Mother Liu's words, she said.

After waiting for a while, Fang Yanqing saw Liu Mu walking out while straightening her clothes, stepped forward, accompanied Liu Mu, and walked back to the wedding banquet compound. ”

Fang Dezheng walked to the other tables, talking and eating with his colleagues, and Tang Yiyun also walked to a bunch of wives, talking and laughing together, but it was bitter for Liu's father and Liu's mother, sitting at the wedding table like a chicken, and could only eat vegetables.

Fang Yanqing listened to Tang Yiyun's greeting, so she had to step forward, Tang Yiyun looked at Fang Yanqing, climbed on Fang Yanqing's shoulder affectionately, and said, "This is our old girl's girl, she just turned eighteen this year, and she is very good at poetry and songs, in her father's house." But a famous talented woman. ”

The shoulders climbed behind him made Fang Yanqing very uncomfortable, looking at these graceful and luxuriously dressed wives in front of him, but he didn't recognize them, Fang Yanqing felt that his scalp was a little numb, and he seemed to know what these wives were going to say, and sure enough, one of the wives said, "It's so powerful, it's better to write a poem now for us to listen to." ”

Fang Yanqing knew that there would definitely be a wife who proposed to let him compose a poem, so he couldn't help but sigh in his heart, and said with a smile on his face, "Those praises have praised me too much, I'm just able to pile up words indiscriminately, now there is no title, I don't know what to write, if I have a good topic next time, what does my wife think?"

"Hey," the lady tilted her head and thought about it, probably thinking that what Fang Yanqing said was reasonable, and nodded, just when Fang Yanqing thought that this stubble had been exposed like this, a sentence suddenly came out.

"How can there be no title, isn't this happy day a rare topic, Miss Fang might as well make a happy pair, just pray for blessings. ”

Seeing that the lady suddenly became excited, and even the aunt was a little more interested, Fang Yanqing felt for the first time that noisy people were so annoying.

Wei Chao was originally sitting at the table to eat, but when he heard the discussion, he became interested for a while, so he spoke up.

Fang Yanqing looked at Wei Chao, thought in his mind for a moment, and then muttered, "In the summer, the cicadas are singing, and the joy is rising in the song, and the blessing is like the sun and the clouds." After speaking, he paused, looked at Wei Chao and continued, "Since this topic was given by Young Master Wei, then please ask Young Master Wei to match the rest of the lower link, and it will not be considered to abolish Young Master Wei's topic." ”

"Ah, if you hurt others, you will end up harming yourself. The wife who shouted dialect Qing to compose poems before covered her mouth with a brocade and smiled, looked at Wei Chao and said, "The girls are waiting for you, why don't you hurry up." ”

Wei Chao looked at his wife with a happy face and said, "Mother, didn't my son open his mouth when he saw that you wanted to hear it, why did he become a victim, I don't wear this hat." ”

Listening to Wei Chao's words, Fang Yanqing realized that the wife in front of him was the third lady of the Wei family, Wei Chao's mother, and when she thought that she was still in front of her and returned to Wei Chao, she suddenly felt a little embarrassed.

Tang Yiyun smiled and started the round, "Yes, it's just to have fun and have fun, don't care, don't care." ”

Just as Tang Yiyun was playing the round and was about to reveal the words, he heard Wei Chao say,

"The north wind is loose, the ambition is undiminished after the establishment, and Lingyun's ambition is arrogant," he also paused after speaking, looked at Fang Yanqing, and said, "The girl is exquisite, I am also worthy of the match, and I hope the girl will not dislike it." ”

Yes, Fang Zheng is proper, so he also said that he is worthy of the top, Fang Yanqing looked at Wei Chao who was smiling, pursed his lips, and did not say a word. Feng Ranran, who was sitting next to Wei Chao, became excited first, clapped her hands and said, "This pair is good!" he looked at Fang Yanqing, and asked with an expectant face, "Miss Fang, can I publish this pair of yours?"

Fang Yanqing nodded and said, "Yes, it's just that I only did the upper pair, and the lower pair was made by Young Master Wei." ”

"He's fine. After listening to Fang Yanqing's words, Feng Ranran said indifferently, "It's okay for me to use him directly." ”

"It's just that I am a bully. ”

"Phew, are you so bullying?" Feng Ranran heard Wei Chao's words and said in disgust, "Anyone can talk about these two words, but you can't." ”

"You're not a bully when you're talking like that, you see I haven't even said a word yet. ”

Feng Ranran snorted lightly, stretched out her hand to Fang Yanqing and said, "Yanqing, you come to sit on my side and ignore him." ”

Mrs. Wei touched Feng Ranran's head soothingly, continued to smile and talk to the wives, and praised, "Miss Yan is indeed wonderful, and the people are wonderful and the poems are wonderful." ”

Another lady asked, "I heard that your master's sister is also in your house now." ”

"Yes, it made her father's side sad, and now she is eating fasting and chanting Buddha. ”

"Here's what's going on. ”

"Alas, you don't know, and you're also a miserable person..."

Fang Yanqing listened to Tang Yiyun talking about her own family affairs everywhere, and she was a little stunned in her heart, she did this just to create a pitiful image for those wives, but she was the most disgusted to open her scars like this, and the so-called seeking pity from others was just turning herself into a joke.

When his family property was seized and he was isolated everywhere, he was really helpless, so he wrote to his friends in his club and his classmates to ask for help. Then he left his father's family, and what he wanted was to go to the capital with his mother to live together, and he never thought about who to rely on, if it wasn't for his mother's unwillingness, thinking of this, Fang Yanqing couldn't help but feel a little helpless. Of course, this can't be blamed entirely on her mother, she has been educated since she was a child to live according to men, and she has lived in a patriarchal society for so long, although her father has never treated her unequally, but she has always done so. In life, many people are so helpless.

Feng Ranran picked two chopsticks and dishes in Fang Yan Qingyan, and said with high interest, "Yan Qing, I see that you have good literary skills, and I want to discuss something with you." ”

Fang Yanqing was pulled back to his thoughts by Feng Ranran's words, paused slightly, and asked, "What's the matter?"
