221, Liwei
Early the next morning, Aunt Mei said that the materials for spring clothes had arrived, and asked He Jiaxian to count them.
When she came back in the evening, she saw a golden hairpin with a red thread on her head, her heart tightened, and she hurriedly asked, "Who gave it?"
Hongmei cried: "When the family asked the slave and maid to hug Ran Ran, the people from the family also came, made a small decision, and inserted it for Ran Ran." The slave and maid are in a hurry, but they can't find you, and no one knows where you have gone. ”
It turned out to be a tiger from the mountain and secretly crossed into a warehouse.
He Jiaxian was furious, stretched out his hand to pull out the golden hairpin on Ran Ran's head, and rushed to the door of Mei Xiaoguan, but saw Fang Qirui talking to Aunt Mei inside, and happened to be talking about Ran Ran's family affairs, he said: "But it's up to you to decide." ”
He Jiaxian said angrily: "What is the master? What kind of person is the little master from the family, just go out and inquire." knew that it was a fire pit, and pushed Ran Ran inside. ”
Fang Qirui wondered: "What kind of person? It's just a child of the same age......
Aunt Mei saw He Jiaxian shouting, and said angrily: "What kind of system has become, in the past, I was used to you, but now I really don't know how to respect the elderly." Come on, lock the second grandmother in the next room, and teach her the rules. ”
Fang Qirui was about to speak, but Aunt Mei said angrily: "If you intercede for her, you will also go and lock it up together." Look at her way and yell at me. I won't talk about the sage books you read, but if you only ask about one word of filial piety, will you still talk about it? If you don't talk about it, then the whole Yanzhou City will be clear and clear......
In this way, He Jiaxian's reputation of "unfilial piety" spread.
Fang Qirui was stunned for a moment, and Lu Yan outside had already said to He Jiaxian: "Second grandmother, please." ”
He Jiaxian knew that Aunt Mei of the Fang family was alone now, and unlike the old man Fang who could control the Chen family before, if it was involved in He Runian, she would definitely beat her up and couldn't take care of herself, so she could only endure it first.
Seeing this, Fang Qirui couldn't say anything, and said to He Jiaxian: "Ah Xian, you should be quiet. ”
He Jiaxian took a deep look at Fang Qirui before saying, "It's my fault that I was disrespectful to my family." It's just that Ran Ran can't marry the kid from the family. ”
The comfort on Fang Qirui's face froze, and before he could say anything, He Jiaxian had already turned his head and ignored her.
Aunt Mei moved out of the parents, and said to Fang Qirui: "In the past, the master liked her and always indulged her temperament. Now that the master is not here, our family is trembling, for fear that if there is a little mistake, it will fall into the hands of others, affecting the future of several of you. She made such a fuss, she could before, but now she can't. Don't talk about my face, just talk about the face of the Fang family, and you have to maintain it. If there is such a mother in the future, Kun'er and Ranran's future, you should also think about it. The reputation of the daughter's family is always more important than the smooth tone. She doesn't understand, you have to teach her more. ”
Fang Qirui felt that what Aunt Mei said was reasonable, and it could only be.
After being locked up for two hours, Aunt Mei asked He Jiaxian to come back and said, "Ran Ran is also old, just the nurse and a few girls in your house are obviously not enough." Why don't I give you a few girls here, learn to serve her, and when you get married in the future, you can also bring them over, and there are a few considerate people available. ”
If it was before, He Jiaxian would definitely feel ill-intentioned. But now, Aunt Mei is in charge, and she realizes that the family rules and family system are much stricter than when the Chen family was there.
What Chen didn't think of in the past, Aunt Mei thought of it, and what Chen didn't do, Aunt Mei did. Chen left loopholes, and she occasionally had loopholes to exploit. But Aunt Mei has never had the slightest loophole.
For Ran Ran, the Chen family wanted to hug her and raise her, and He Jiaxian was able to take ten slaps from her alive, so that Master Fang could see that she had bad intentions and cut off her thoughts.
But Aunt Mei made this move, but He Jiaxian didn't have anything to tell Fang Qirui.
What Aunt Mei said is in line with Fang Qirui's interests.
However, she does need a few girls to serve well, and she will be taken care of properly when she gets married in the future, and even she, her mother-in-law, can't make a mistake.
Although Ming found that the two new girls in Tinglan Courtyard were shrewd and sophisticated, she didn't like it.
In the summer, watching Ran Ran grow up day by day, it was as if he was really in love with his family, and he sent some gifts from time to time.
He Jiaxian thought of avoiding suspicion, and he didn't take the initiative to go home again.
On this day, Fang Yuting came, went straight into Tinglan Courtyard, hugged Ran Ran in her arms, and shed tears without saying a word.
He Jiaxian was puzzled, so he heard Fang Yuting say: "I always knew that you had no conscience for me. But I really love Ranran. Now as soon as I get the news, I will come to sue you immediately. ”
He Jiaxian saw her crying so much that her eyes were red, and he hurriedly asked what was going on.
"That slave is insidious and cunning. I heard that I was married, and I thought it was a good thing, but it was also a high marriage, and I would not have to worry about food and clothing in the future. But who knows, half a month ago, the child was rampant in the school, he should be a newcomer but domineering, which caused a lot of dissatisfaction, and several children actually teamed up to trick him into a remote place to punch and kick, and vented. I don't know which child kicked his head in the middle, so he asked for half his life, and now I'm afraid that he won't get better. ”
He Jiaxian was shocked, only his heart jumped suddenly, and he heard Fang Yuting say: "Later, there were more than ten children involved, all of whom were children from big families in Yanzhou City, and they all had some backgrounds. The law does not blame the public, and they are all young. Each family could only kill the accompanying servant one after another, and compensated a large amount of silver to the slave family, and it was settled. Although he is not angry at home, he can't do it. ”
"Now, it's time for you to find a way to get out of the business. If I hadn't been distressed, I wouldn't have made this trip. After Fang Yuting finished speaking, she went back, and she was not false and polite.
He Jiaxian was only cold when he heard this, and subconsciously wanted to go to Aunt Mei, but he felt that it was not so easy, so he sent someone to send a letter to Fang Qirui and asked him to come back to discuss.
After Fang Qirui came back, he said: "As soon as this matter came out, Aunt Mei told me. said that it is not good for us to withdraw from the family at the moment, otherwise the previous marriage will become a climbing dragon and a phoenix, and now it will become a villain who has fallen into the well. ”
He Jiaxian said angrily: "You just listen to your aunt, what should you do? If the child dies, it's okay, don't count at a young age." If you don't die, you will be hanging half-dead like this all the time, and you will be ......like your sister-in-law in the future."
Fang Qirui heard her mention her sister-in-law, looked at the lovely child in front of her, and was shocked, but said firmly: "My aunt said that after a long time, the rumor will fade in a year or two, and then mention it." ”
Seeing He Jiaxian's indignant face, he couldn't help but persuade: "Now that child is dying, I am afraid that the probability of death is greater." ”
He Jiaxian also looked forward to his early death, but he felt that he was vicious, so he was so entangled that he never fell asleep all night. Hearing that Fang Qirui was sleeping soundly beside him, he felt more and more disappointed.
is not only disappointed in the other party, but also disappointed in himself.
I have been disappointed for so long, but I still don't understand the rules of the ancient mansion enough, and the information is not well-informed. So much so that when it comes to burning eyebrows, it is still useless.
But this night also made her understand that she had no one to rely on.
Aunt Mei had already become the head of the feudal family after gaining power, and moved out of the discipline of the old mansion in the past.
Fang Qirui is now all devoted to the shop, coupled with Aunt Mei's larger pattern, she always starts with the entire Fang family to ask him to compromise, he has a heavy responsibility, and he is unwilling to bear a selfish reputation, so he is getting rid of the original "bastard" tone, but thinking about the Fang family in everything.
In this way, he and Aunt Mei's basic goals are the same, and there will be no major contradictions.
He Jiaxian felt sorry for his daughter on the one hand, but on the other hand, he understood that what Fang Qirui said made sense, if he really dared to withdraw from his family, once he angered Cong Shaoyu, he would have a good job, but he was afraid that the entire Fang family would not be enough to bury his master.
If so, it will be even more distressing.
dragged on until the summer vacation was over, Fang Yuting Shi Ran again, brought a silver collar over, put it on Ran Ran in person, and replaced her original one. whispered: "You take her to Puyuan Temple tomorrow, remember to wait at the foot of the mountain early in the morning, don't go up the mountain." ”
He Jiaxian knew that Fang Yuting had a lot of ideas, and this time he was really planning for it, so he naturally abandoned his previous suspicions and unanimously went out to the outside world.
I just don't know what kind of medicine she sells in her gourd. I was half-convinced in my heart, and I didn't like to believe her, but there was no other way but to use a dead horse as a live horse doctor.
I arrived at the place early the next morning, and only told Aunt Mei that I wanted to go out to offer incense, praying for Gu Shaoyu's speedy recovery and saving the burden of lingering on the sickbed.
He Jiaxian followed what Fang Yuting said, and followed Ran Ran's instructions, making sure she remembered it clearly.
After a short time, the carriage from the family came up the mountain, only at the foot of the mountain abandoned the car, from the fifth grandmother and from the eldest lady by the mother-in-law support, pious step by step.
As soon as He Jiaxian saw them, he followed what Fang Yuting said, and led Ran Ran forward: "I heard that the ladies are coming to pray for the young master today, I thought about whether the two families were engaged, so I came with Ran Ran." ”
From the eldest lady nodded approvingly, from the fifth grandmother's expressionless face.
After a few people entered the Daxiong Treasure Hall together, took the incense and candles, and saw that the eldest lady was obedient and finished.
He Jiaxian arranged for Ran Ran to burn a stick of incense, but when he inserted it after praying for blessings, a sudden gust of wind blew and blew out the incense sticks together.
The eldest lady was taken aback, glanced at Ran Ran who He Jiaxian was holding, and suddenly caught a glimpse of her silver collar, and said tremblingly: "When did you wear this?"
He Jiaxian said seriously: "I have worn it since I was a child, and I have never left it." "It's just that the moire on it has become a small snake, and if you don't look carefully, it's blurry, and it's not obvious at all.
The eldest lady pressed her mind patiently, stopped talking, and went out to talk to the master.
The master is acquainted, and when he saw the eldest lady, he first said a word about Amitabha, and then asked about the situation of the little young master in the house, and he didn't care to look at people, so he only said to the eldest lady: "The poor monk has calculated, the little young master is edified, not the short-lived person, and the lady doesn't have to worry." Come with me here and ask for a signature. ”
The eldest lady went over to shake the lot, but when she saw that it was a lot, she breathed a sigh of relief and said with a smile: "It seems that what the master said is right, so I can rest assured." ”
Please also ask the master to sign the document.
The master looked at it for a while before he said: "It is indeed a sign, but there is a taboo on it, that is, it is impossible to meet snakes......"
The eldest lady nodded and said, "When I go back, I will clean up all the flowers and grasses to make sure that there is no mistake." Neither shall anyone who sells snakes and plays with snakes pass by the door. ”
The master folded his hands together: "In this way, you will probably be able to get up during the Mid-Autumn Festival." ”
The eldest lady was naturally grateful, and donated another hundred taels of sesame oil money, so she went out.
Seeing that Ran Ran was still wearing the collar around his neck, he said impatiently: "Don't go home recently, save the child from being young and sick." ”
He Jiaxian naturally agreed.
The eldest lady said: "I don't look very good at this circle, and the silver one is falling in price, and I will ask someone to send a gold one to replace it tomorrow." ”
He Jiaxian agreed again.
Ran Ran said in a crisp voice: "Thank you grandma." ”
opened a pair of eyes wide, full of innocence: "It's just that grandma can also make snake patterns for me, but it's a snake." ”
From the eldest lady, a spirit, asked He Jiaxian: "She belongs to the snake ......"
"Yes. He Jiaxian didn't seem to know what the situation was, and said with a smile: "This child is like this, he has been bold since he was a child, and everyone in his family is afraid of snakes, but she is not afraid of ......" After speaking, he seemed to consciously talk a lot: "Madame don't worry, but I pray for the little master day and night." ”
From the eldest lady's expression was stunned, impatiently listening to her. After a few polite words, he said, "There is still something at home, I want to go first." Are you going together?"
He Jiaxian nodded: "I'm so tired of Madame." ”
The two families went back to the city together.
On the way, the eldest lady closed her eyes and glanced at the maid beside her: "Go and check, who did the master see today, and when did the mother and daughter of the Fang family arrive in the temple?"
The maid nodded yes.
Within two days, Congjia took the initiative to pay some gifts and came over, wanting to break off the marriage contract with Ran Ran, saying that "the little young master is in danger now, and there is no improvement, but it is not good to delay the little lady of the Fang family for life, so she can only withdraw from the marriage first." If there is a fate in the future, continue the previous edge. ”
In this way, although Aunt Mei is displeased, she has done so much to save face from home, and she keeps saying that it is for the sake of Ran, and it is not easy for her, a grandmother, to say that she does not love her children, so she can only admit it.
He Jiaxian always felt that things were not so simple, so he chose a day and posted a post and asked Fang Yuting to come to Tinglan Courtyard.
Naturally, I prepared a gift to thank her.
Fang Yuting glanced at a set of noodles in the brocade box, and said casually: "You better keep it for yourself, it is estimated that Aunt Mei's powerful one can't give you much money." You don't have much dowry yourself. ”
He Jiaxian saw that she looked down on her, and he didn't force it, and thanked him in his mouth.
Fang Yuting said: "You don't have to thank me, I won't get a good end in my life." Just promise me that if I come to you for help in the future, you will do everything in your power to save my life. ”
He Jiaxian was stunned: "I'm just afraid that I don't have the ability to save you." ”
"You have it. Fang Yuting smiled: "Just say whether you agree or not." ”
