He Jiaxian felt his care and gentleness, and no longer resisted: "Ran Ran may be a child for us, and we will have other children in the future." However, we are the whole world to her, and if I don't protect her, who will protect her? I can't accept that she has the slightest accident, not at all, even if it is a 1 in 10,000 possibility. ”

"The little daughter has a heart. Fang Qirui sighed: "So, you can't make a big deal." You're so for her now, she may not remember anything when she grows up......"

"What if I don't remember? I gave birth to her and raised her so that she could come to see this beautiful world, feel the wind and clouds, feel the love of the world, taste the food, and see the warmth and coldness of people. He Jiaxian couldn't help but get excited when she said that, what Chen Li didn't expect and didn't do, she wanted to give back to Ran Ran: "When I get old, she is willing to accept Huan's knees, I naturally welcome it, but if she is unwilling, I will not force it." Speaking of this, she suddenly remembered something and took Fang Qirui's hand: "You promise me, and then let her make her own decisions in the future, okay......"

"......" Fang Qirui was stunned, he had never thought of this, and hesitated for a while: "Since ancient times, marriage has been a major event, and the order of parents ......"

"Yes. That's because you always treat your children as your own. He Jiaxian snorted coldly: "Since she was born, what is the first thing? not our daughter, not the little lady of the Fang Mansion, she is a person, a person who is independent of anyone." She has her tastes, her joys and sorrows, her hatreds and hates......"

"All we have to do is guide her and guide her on the right path. He Jiaxian remembered the days he had spent with Chen Li in the past, and his eyes were filled with tears: "Before we gave birth to her, we didn't ask her if she agreed. Naturally, there is no right to interfere with her in the future. ”

"Nonsense. Fang Qirui really couldn't listen to her "crooked reasoning and heresy": "Give birth to her, give her life, or have you wronged her?"

"That's when she was born in Fangfu. He Jiaxian pointed outside: "You go and ask, spring apricots, red plums, auspicious, no matter which one, what kind of suffering did they suffer when they were children......?

Fang Qirui saw that she looked excited, and the redness and swelling on her face that had gradually faded immediately turned red and gorgeous, looking distressing, she couldn't help but sigh: "You have read too many books, I will never be able to tell you these big truths." ”

He Jiaxian knew that he would definitely not be able to accept these "ridiculous" remarks for a while, and he was not reluctant, but only looked at Fang Qirui's eyes seriously: "People say that parents give birth to children, and children come to collect debts, and when she grows up, ask her to pay it back." But the Buddhist scriptures say that people are born to suffer. If we bring her to suffer, we owe her what we owe her, and we should spend our lives protecting her from suffering......

"Hmm. Fang Qirui reluctantly listened to this passage, buried his head in He Jiaxian's neck, and smelled the fragrance on her body.

"What are you going to do? It's time to wake up these days. He Jiaxian asked out loud, she didn't force Fang Qirui to make a decision, he had to figure it all out himself.

"When my father scolded me today, I wanted to say that I didn't study, but he, like Aunt Mei, wanted me to shine in high school...... Fang Qirui was very distressed: "Even if I don't study, I see that my father has made up his mind, and I'm afraid that the Fang family's business won't let me interfere anymore." I worked so hard, but I was still a spare tire, in his heart, this Fang family, in the end, was still the third brother's. ”

He Jiaxian couldn't do it for a while, so he had to give up, and the good feelings he had for Aunt Mei before were gone.

She can understand Aunt Mei's thoughts and purposes, but if she has the ability, please do it herself, don't force the child.

This is no different from Chen Li.

When you need to be obscure, you don't need a child to come out, you obviously have poetry and books in your belly, you have to be a quail, and you will be ridiculed, insulted, and despised by others. When the need for sharpness was revealed, he let him move forward bravely, overcoming obstacles, and disregarding his own wishes.

Fang Qirui is not her marionette.

On the day Fang Yuzhu set off for Beijing, Fang Yulu also set off, saying that at the behest of her mother, she would go to see Fang Yuyan, who married into the palace.

Her child is seven or eight months old and is a young man. When the good news was reported before, because the family members of the concubine did not come and go as relatives, the Fang family did not dare to send people to take a look.

Now that the child is older, Fang Yuyan gave birth to the eldest grandson of the palace, and Young Master Wen Lei has no other wife, so she is the only one in the family.

Chen took this opportunity to repair a book, told Fang Yulu about it, and asked her to mediate from the middle, and Fang Yuyan agreed.

The two carriages set off together.

Although Fang Yuzhu was reluctant, she was not very resistant. Halfway through, I suddenly had a rash all over my body, scratching and itching, which was unbearable, so I had to stop and find a doctor for treatment.

Fang Yulu couldn't wait, so she left first.

"I heard that Yuzhu fell ill on the way to Beijing?" Chen asked the second lady with a worried face: "You won't delay the trip." ”

The second lady looked worried: "Who knows, I can only ask the lord of the state capital who reported it to explain the situation." It would be a great disrespect to run rash rashly!"

"Hey, I've heard that Yuzhu isn't very happy...... That's what you wanted......" Chen sighed.

"Sister-in-law can't talk nonsense. The second lady looked upright: "It is the blessing of Yuzhu to be able to get the appointment of the saint, and there is no reluctance." Besides, she was divorced in Yanzhou City, and she was already in an uproar, thinking that she could go to the capital, and it was a good thing to be accused of marriage, who knows how good things will be. The second lady was very depressed: "The second master knows and is very angry, but our Yuzhu has always been virtuous and well-behaved, and we will never mess around, these are all accidents." ”

"It's an accident, it's an accident. Chen sighed: "Hey, I just hope that the Holy One will not blame." ”

After getting the definite news, Chen hurriedly called Fang Yuhe over and handed her a dozen silver tickets: "Five thousand taels." Are you sure Gyokuro's name has been reported?"

Fang Yuhe smiled and took it and put it in his arms: "Sure, mother, don't worry." My sister is so capable, and she doesn't show her feet at all, so she will naturally be selected. ”

A smile bloomed on Chen's face.

Out of the door of Fang's house, Fang Yuhe took out two thousand taels from it and put them in his arms, packed the remaining three thousand taels in a brocade box, and then said to the maid: "Go to the yamen of the state capital." ”

He Jiaxian still went back to He's house.

After the wound on his face healed, go back and ask He Runian to come out of the mountain, since there are no more than three people, then ask him to teach Fang Qixuan and Fang Qikai of the fourth lady's family first.

unexpectedly ran into Huang Que.

Only then did I learn that Huang Que had fallen for Xiucai this time and came to the He family to ask to marry He Jiahui, but no one told him where He Jiahui was, and he had been entangled for many days.

Xu's illness can't be managed, and coral can't be the master.

Chunjiao has been full of rumors since the gossip has been all over the city, and she is afraid that she will add fuel to He Runian's fire again, so she doesn't dare to get involved in He Jiahui's affairs again.

He Runian hated that iron could not become steel when he mentioned He Jiahui, and even felt that his proud protégé Huang Que was going to be led by He Jiahui to break the rhythm, which was not allowed at all.

Huang Que had no way to ask for help, so he had to linger at the door of He all day long.

Seeing He Jiaxian's carriage, Huang Que hurriedly caught up with him and made a gesture: "Second grandmother, you persuade the teacher, Jiahui is young and ignorant, but now that she understands, please ask him to give me and Jiahui a chance......"

When He Jiahui had an accident, Huang Que was concentrating on studying and preparing for the exam, and it was not easy to ask about this kind of daughter's private affairs, He Jiaxian thought that he had retreated, and felt that it was normal for people to be demanding, but he didn't expect that there was still such a mind now, which was really rare, so he told him where Jiahui was going, and promised to persuade He Runian.

Huang Que then understood, go back.

He Runian lost his job, and his family suddenly had less expenses, so he thought it was cold and quiet. But I didn't expect that as soon as I entered the small courtyard, I found that it was even more lively than before, and many of the chief stewards were lining up, waiting to go in to see He Runian.

"Mr. He, I am the head of the Li family, and our master wants to ask Mr. He to teach the little master......"

"Mr. He, I am the attendant of the third young master of the Zhang family, the third young master has passed the children's exam, and now he is just waiting for the test Xiucai, I have brought the bundle, you see, the silver ticket of two hundred taels ......"

"Mr. Ho......"

One by one they went in with hope, and one by one they came out dejected.

Although Chunjiao doesn't care about Huang Que and He Jiahui, she still has to take care of the family's income, standing at the door of the bedroom with her waist in her waist at the moment and eating melon seeds, watching them go in with joy, and frowning at the same time watching them return disappointed.

When the five or six people who came to visit today all came out dejected, Chunjiao also returned to the room dejectedly.

Coral was greeting guests, and when he saw He Jiaxian coming in, he hurriedly said: "There are too many people visiting these days, and the slave and maid are not well greeted......

He Jiaxian has long been accustomed to it, since Chunjiao entered the door, the He family has already had no hospitality etiquette and rules at all, He Runian doesn't know if he said it, anyway, it has been like this, and he is busy: "It's okay, you are busy with yours." ”

Entering the house, He Runian was drinking tea, not like He Jiaxian thought that the spring breeze was proud, but his face was full of sadness, he raised his head and glanced at He Jiaxian: "I'm back." ”

"Father rejected them?" He Jiaxian asked softly, and he could see from the appearance of those people.

"For my father......" He Runian poured a large sip of wine into his mouth, but did he not say anything: "You have something?"

He Jiaxian said what he meant.

He Runian smiled weakly: "I don't plan to teach and educate people anymore." ”

He Jiaxian was shocked, but when he saw He Runian's resolute attitude, he didn't dare to persuade him.

went to see the Xu family again, only to know that He Runian was persuaded to quit by the private school, and then saw that Huang Que had won the show, and after all, he was unwilling, and went to ask Mrs. He to let him take the exam again.

Old Madam He naturally refused.

After He Runian came back, he was depressed and didn't care about anything.

If the family didn't have some savings in the early years, I'm afraid that they wouldn't even be able to get by.

"The silver was originally used as a dowry for Jiahui, but now it can only be used for expenses first. Xu smiled bitterly: "Your father is like this, no one will listen to him, probably because he wants his wife and children to starve to death." ”

"Why didn't my grandmother allow my father to take the exam to become an official?" He Jiaxian thought of what Aunt Mei told her, the relationship between the Mei and He families, and combined with the results of Fang Qirui's investigation, after thinking about it, he didn't understand.

"Who knows. No one dared to ask. Xu sighed.

Although this was not something she should be in charge of, since Aunt Mei said that there was a turnaround, maybe there was a chance to persuade her, He Jiaxian felt that she should go to Mrs. He's place.

Mrs. He is still sick, but it is not very serious, and she mostly rests on the couch. Her illness is different from Xu's.

Xu's can't get out of bed because of heart disease, but I'm afraid that he won't get better for a while.

Mrs. He is old, and she drinks the soup and medicine every day, and when she enters the house, there is a large smell of medicine.

Directly explaining the intention, He Jiaxian asked tentatively: "What is the relationship between our family and the Mei family?"

"I didn't want to talk about it, and now that you know some of it, it's okay to talk to you. Mrs. He smiled lovingly: "Your grandfather, who was originally a protégé of Mei Ge, recommended him to be the vice president of the Hanlin Academy, sort out the history books, and compile and revise the books. ”

Later, when the Mei family incident happened, the first emperor asked Mr. He to erase all the traces of the Mei family in the historians, and all the decrees implemented by Mei Ge Lao were burned as if there was no such family.

They all said that the He family was implicated by the Mei family, but in fact they didn't. Emperor Xian, he just annoyed Mei Ge Lao, and the rest of the Mei family didn't move. The family your sister went to was also surnamed Mei, and her ancestors and Mei Ge were always cousins, so they were not implicated, but all their official positions were gone, and they were just demoted to concubines. ”

Old Madam He sighed: "Your grandfather resigned automatically. He felt that the companion was like a tiger, and the officialdom was dark. At that time, after Mei Ge Lao fell, many blamed him, and asked for severe punishment of his folds to the desk of the first emperor one by one, and finally the first emperor requisitioned, your grandfather had to record it in detail, and he found that many of them were people who had been favored by Mei Ge Lao, and he became more and more cold. After Mei Ge's family was released, he resigned in frustration, and ordered that the descendants of the He family were not allowed to become officials in the court. ”

"Your father loves to read, and I can't always stop him. It's just that it's not good to disobey your grandfather's teachings, so he was lifted, and I won't allow him to do any more scientific examinations. Old Madam He sighed: "Actually, I also know that I have wronged your father in this way, but when your grandfather was involved in the Mei family's big case, he was exhausted and couldn't sleep at night. Those who are unsteady will be bullied and ravaged. Those who walk steadily, one person below ten thousand people, will sooner or later become mermaids...... None of them are good. ”

"Literati, it's especially difficult to do. He has ambitions, but he doesn't have the ability to be a general. Either go along with the same stream or admonish each other with death, he doesn't want the descendants of the He family to take either of these two paths. Old Madam He breathed a long breath: "I don't want to let the descendants of the He family go through this troubled water." After being an official, I know the value of being a civilian. ”
