86, rich empty shelves

After the meal, He Jiaxian's feet floated under his feet, and his stomach was rumbling with hunger. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info

She could only watch with admiration as Zhou and Chen arranged for the guests to see off and stay...... Methodical, thoughtful and considerate, I feel that it is not easy to take care of such a large family.

Hammering her sore arm and sore back, Fang Yuzhu came over and smiled at her: "Tired." ”

He Jiaxian nodded, and listened to her narrow smile: "That's why I don't marry this kind of family with many people." ”

He Jiaxian pointed at the tip of her nose: "You are not ashamed to say this." ”

"Shame what." Fang Yuzhu generously admitted: "My mother brought me and my brother back this time, that is, to say kiss, what do you think." She pouted: "The northwest side is free, my mother feels that she is poor and remote, so she has to go back to Yanzhou City." ”

He Jiaxian heard something else: "So you won't leave for the time being?" There was a flash of joy in her heart, so did it mean that she could have friends?

Fang Yuzhu nodded in confusion, unable to understand that she suddenly smiled, like a nymphomaniac: "If you don't leave, you will live here." ”

He Jiaxian was even more happy, so happy that he took her hand and looked at her several times, which scared Fang Yuzhu so much.

When he returned to Tinglan Courtyard and replenished some food, He Jiaxian lay down to rest, and he couldn't help falling asleep during this break, and he didn't even freshen up.

When I woke up and saw that it was dark outside the window, I hurriedly opened the door and called auspicious, and there was no one in the middle of the sound, Sydney came in and said, "Second grandma looking for me?" ”

He Jiaxian was puzzled: "What time is it?" Seeing that it was already dark, it was estimated that it was eight or nine o'clock, and he hurriedly asked, "Is the house all cleaned up?" ”

Sydney nodded: "We have all put back the temporary ones, and then there is the matter of the stewards of the inner and outer courtyards." ”

He Jiaxian knew that there were subordinates who took care of the house, and asked, "What about auspiciousness?" Why didn't the second master come back? ”

Sydney was also at a loss.

Hongguo said loudly at the door: "Sister Wentao didn't come back either." ”

He Jiaxian was startled, why were there so many people missing in the courtyard all of a sudden, and hurriedly said to Hongguo: "You run fast, go and see." ”

Sitting in the house and waiting anxiously for a long time, Hongguo came back: "Sister Jixiang is kneeling at the mouth of the narrow alley of the Moon Gate." ”

He Jiaxian was stunned for a moment, and immediately asked, "Is there another girl named Lamei?" ”

Hongguo nodded: "There is a good girl, but the slave maid doesn't know the name, and there is an unknown mother next to her who looks at her, and the slave doesn't dare to approach." ”

He Jiaxian had a number in his heart, his emotions were angry, and he was about to go, when he caught a glimpse of Fang Qirui walking into the courtyard door with drunken eyes, with tattooed peaches far behind him.

Seeing He Jiaxian, Fang Qirui threw himself on her, and said vaguely: "Sleep!" ”

He Jiaxian didn't have the time to pay attention to him, he barely held him up, and coaxed in his mouth: "You go to sleep first, I still have something to do." ”

"I'll talk about it tomorrow." Fang Qirui muttered a few words, but He Jiaxian didn't follow: "Human life is a matter of heaven." ”

I don't know what Jixiang did wrong and how long he will kneel.

Wen Tao hesitated and stepped forward and whispered, "Slave maid serve the second master." ”

"Get out!" Fang Qirui yelled at her directly, so frightened that Wen Tao immediately fell silent, shrunk a little, and went back to the house with tears in his eyes.

He Jiaxian didn't know what was going on, but he didn't dare to disobey him in the face of his anger, helped him back to the house, and ordered Sydney to fetch water to wash his face, and then asked softly: "What's so angry?" He personally twisted the handkerchief to wipe her face, and turned back to ask Sydney: "You go and see the peach." ”

"What is there to see about her, she often has a little temperament in front of the second master, and this is not the first time." Sydney is commonplace, and the second master is sometimes kind and sometimes indifferent to Wen Tao, but it is rare to scold mercilessly like this.

He Jiaxian put a hot cloth on Fang Qirui's face, and said in a good voice: "I'll ask them to boil you a little more sobering soup, you drink it and rest early, I'll go and see Jixiang." ”

Fang Qirui was slightly drunk: "What's wrong with her?" ”

"I've been kneeling at the mouth of the alley for most of the day, and I haven't come back, and I don't know what's going on." He Jiaxian guessed that he must have annoyed someone by sending food to the girl named Lamei.

Then he told him about the afternoon: "I saw that there was no one left and right, and it was just my uncle's wife's order, thinking that she could still be powerful in our house, and it was not a big mistake to send some food......

Fang Qirui saw that her movements were stagnant, and snorted lightly: "Screw the hot one again." ”

He Jiaxian coaxed: "I'll call Sydney, I'm very anxious...... I don't know who Jixiang has offended. ”

"Don't want her, you serve me, I'll get Jixiang back." Fang Qirui squinted his eyes and was very useful: "It's just a small thing, where do you need to come forward in person." ”

He Jiaxian was stunned, Jixiang was her girl, she didn't come forward to inquire about the reason, how could Jixiang come back? I don't know how many things are in between? If it's someone else, if it's Uncle Xue, then it's offended the Chen family, and there can be a good result?

Looking at Fang Qiruiyun's light breeze, he thought of the birthday gift he gave today-usually he was not close to the Chen family, and he became more and more incomprehensible to the person in front of him.

Fang Qirui was about to drink, and when he saw He Jiaxian's face full of doubts, he was a little embarrassed: "If you don't believe it, the master will show you a hand." ”

Sydney was at the door after Sydney finished reading the peach, Fang Qirui called her in: "You go to pass on the words of the master, saying that your second grandmother is tired and sick today, as long as you serve auspiciously, no matter how big a thing you do, let the person back first, and then talk about it, tomorrow the second grandmother is in good health, and then personally take her to ask for punishment." ”

Sydney looked at He Jiaxian, who was standing straight and ruddy, and was stunned for a moment, before coming back to her senses after half a sound: "Okay." ”

Fang Qirui motioned to He Jiaxian to lie on the bed: "Pretending to be sick and still want me to teach you?" ”

He Jiaxian became more and more puzzled: "I haven't figured out this matter, if it's just a small problem, wouldn't it be getting bigger and bigger?" "But the arrow has been sent, and I can't take it back, so I can only listen to her.

Fang Qirui squinted and smiled, and also slept next to her: "Small problems are better." And he said no more, and fell into a deep sleep for a moment.

He Jiaxian couldn't sleep, tossing and turning, and after a while, Sydney really brought Jixiang back, about a long time after kneeling, and his knees trembled with pain.

He Jiaxian saw that the person had come back, and was about to ask something, but Ji Xiang had already cared about it, and pounced over: "Where is the second grandmother uncomfortable?" Slave and maid, look? Do you want to get a doctor?"

Seeing that she really cared about herself, He Jiaxian pointed to Fang Qirui inside, and whispered: "I'm fine, let's go out and talk about it if you have anything to say." ”

Ji Xiang also lowered his voice and hurriedly took a few steps back, He Jiaxian wanted to get up, but found that his arm was pulled by Fang Qirui and he couldn't move, so he pushed him, but the other party didn't move.

He Jiaxian smelled the smell of wine on his body, and he couldn't bear to wake him up, so he had to hold back the anxiety in his bones, and said to Jixiang: "I'm really a little uncomfortable, you can also go to rest by yourself, and I will talk about it tomorrow morning." ”

Jixiang hesitated, and He Jiaxian asked Sydney not to have to be on duty at night.

Only then did he pull his arm lightly, but the other party was still holding it in his arms, He Jiaxian couldn't, so he could only say softly: "I won't go out, I'll go down and wash at will and come up again." ”

Only then did Fang Qirui let go of his arm.

He Jiaxian couldn't help but feel funny, sometimes men are really like children.

However, when I thought of the auspiciousness of returning safely, I felt that he was unfathomable.

Early the next morning, when He Jiaxian woke up, Fang Qirui was nowhere to be seen, and he only said that he had something to do in the morning.

He Jiaxian secretly said that he slept too hard last night, and he couldn't hear any sound at all, so Mengli and others came in to serve and make up.

He Jiaxian was used to it, either Fang Qirui or Mengli, dressed up quietly, and asked Jixiang about yesterday.

"It's the slave who is careless." Ji Xiang said: "The slave and maid looked at the appearance of no one around, so they took out the steamed buns and gave them to Lamei to eat, where did they know that there was a secret whistle, saying that the slave and maid sent something to Lamei to eat was not satisfied with the uncle's wife, and went back to the uncle's wife, so that the slave and the maid also knelt with Lamei." ”

Jixiang was a little sad: "The slave maid is the second grandmother's personal maid, and the uncle's wife doesn't even give this kind of affection." She paused and was a little relieved: "But Lamei is still from the lady's courtyard, hey." ”

He Jiaxian thought of Aunt Xue's domineering meanness, but he was afraid that even the Chen family did not take it seriously.

She suddenly felt a little uneasy, thinking of Fang Qirui's bad idea yesterday, and she didn't know how the Chen family would settle the account afterwards.

Jixiang seemed to see what she was thinking, and said with a smile: "I didn't know that the second grandmother got the slave back like this yesterday, but since she did it, she had to be beaten and punished, and it was up to Mrs. to do it." ”

He Jiaxian secretly regretted that he shouldn't have listened to Fang Qirui's method of "treating the symptoms but not the root cause", but at this moment, he was helpless, so he could only go to the Chen family as usual to ask for peace and take the initiative to ask for guilt.

Chen didn't sleep much all night, sighed, yesterday Yuhe went back to her parents' house and the conversation with her was still in her ears, she never thought that the Weichang Marquis Mansion was already like that.

She was a little flustered at first, after all, the last time Mrs. Weichanghou sent a post to invite her to come over to the house as a guest, she didn't go. And on her birthday, Mrs. Hou did not come.

asked his daughter if Mrs. Hou was angry and deliberately didn't come.

Fang Yuhe was surprised: "There is still such a thing?" ”

Seeing that his daughter didn't know, Chen breathed a sigh of relief, and it was right not to go silently. I heard Fang Yuhe praise: "Mother did the right thing, my daughter once said that it was not my daughter's post, my mother should not go to the Hou Mansion if she is fine, my daughter did not say it to her mother before, she was afraid that her mother would worry, and now she is doing this kind of thing behind her daughter's back, I ...... I...... I don't have anything to hide. ”

Fang Yuhe said angrily, the Chen family was busy listening, only to know that when the Hou Mansion proposed to the Fang family, it was already just an empty shelf, and the family's shop and field, because he was impeached, had already been taken back by the Holy Mountain, all relying on that meager idea to survive, where was enough for the dignity of the family?

"I can't hide it, over the years, my dowry has been supplemented with subsidies, and the 100,000 taels of silver my mother gave me at the beginning are not surplus 350,000 taels, and the harvest of those shops is also filling in the bottomless pit every year." Fang Yuhe said and cried: "When his family came to propose, we were all happy and stupid, thinking that where would it be enough to climb high, it turned out that people were playing this abacus." ”

Chen was dumbfounded, she tried her best to promote this family affair at the beginning, and Master Fang also said that "there must be demons when things go wrong", and advised her to be cautious, it is best not to climb high, otherwise her daughter will be guilty of marrying. With a pang in his heart, he hurriedly asked, "Has Master Hou not improved in the past few years?" If you have the opportunity, can you ......?"

"If you have the chance, can you marry our girl?" Fang Yuhe leaned on the thick cushion and sneered: "They hid the news from me, I don't know how much effort it took to find out, Hou Ye didn't know what he said wrong a few years ago, which made the saint suspicious, in the past few years, I don't know how much of my dowry and silver have been used by them, but there is no good news everywhere, Hou Ye is getting quieter and quieter day by day, moody, presumably there is no hope of a comeback, so I came to calculate our family again!" ”

She touched the jade ring on her hand: "As soon as you say when she gave you a post, I know in my heart, she still thinks that I am a good bully, and wants to hide it from me." ”

Chen hurriedly asked what was going on.

"What can it be, the prince has a younger brother, mother, you have also seen it, looking at me that one of them is not enough to fill the hole in their house, and I want to pull another one." Fang Yuhe was so angry that he almost gritted a mouthful of silver teeth: "In order to test the meaning of the saint, Master Hou once asked for his resignation and gave the title to Xianggong, guess what the result was?" ”

Fang Yuhe sobbed angrily, and slapped the table fiercely: "The meaning of the saint is that the position of the son of this world is like this first, and when Brother Han arrives, I don't know if I can attack the lord." ”

Chen was also shocked: "Do you want to take away the title of Hou Ye?" ”

"That won't be." Fang Yuhe had a bitter face: "But the title will probably end in Xianggong's life." "Hou Ye gave the title to the prince, then he has to set up another son, Brother Han will be the new son, and the old Hou Ye is not young, this model is very common. The emperor didn't allow it, so it can be seen that he really annoyed Marquis Weichang.

She cried: "When I got married, my mother was still afraid that people would be in a high position, and I was wronged, and I carried a large amount of dowry silver to support my waist." Later, when I saw that I was in charge as soon as I entered the door, and my mother-in-law was also generous, I was a little relieved. ”

"Who knows, it's ulterior motives. If the family is in charge, what is not enough, I have to ......fill it myself" Fang Yuhe cried: "Later, I gave birth to Brother Han, thinking that it would be good to have a title, in the end, we are not lowly businessmen, who would have thought that even this idea was taken away, how can Brother Han establish the world in the future?" The son of a broken family? ”

She sobbed lowly, listening to the Chen family for a while, for the glory of her daughter's marriage, living happily and smoothly, she spent a lot of money - to raise the dowry of the Fang family girl to 100,000 taels of silver, her daughter did not mention it, just thinking that the three concubines would be given 200,000 taels according to this example, she was reluctant.

But for the sake of her own daughter's happiness, she still gave it up, but she didn't expect such a result.
