227, the power of the mother-in-law
This is a knot in her heart, and she naturally hopes to realize it as soon as possible. He Jiaxian persuaded: "You explain your mind to her, can she still force you?"
She ...... She ...... "Although Fang Qirui didn't want to say it, she just looked at He Jiaxian's smiling face, and couldn't help but say it: "She said clearly, no matter how good my business is, and my family has a lot ......of money, I am just a lowly and vulgar person, and I can't get on the stage!
"How can I not know that the career is easy, but isn't that an official laborious? I prefer business calculations and schemes...... Fang Qirui said angrily: "She actually scolded me for being a copper smeller." ”
He Jiaxian knew that what Aunt Mei said was reality, but she was too "official-minded", those who didn't become officials, could they all starve to death?
Fang Qirui suddenly held He Jiaxian's hand: "Ah Xian, you say, if I break the cauldron, will you ......?"
"No! I like whatever the husband does. Even if you are destitute, even if you sleep in the open. As long as the family is neat and tidy, healthy and safe, it's fine. He Jiaxian smiled and pointed: "How much money have you earned since you have been in charge of the family's business in the past two years? But how much have I spent? The furnishings at home are still the same, my food and clothing are still the same, and the amount of money used by Ran Ran and Brother Kun is still the same." So, I don't blame you. ”
She looked at Fang Qirui's eyes seriously: "I have always said that doing what you want to do is happiness." If you don't go well on the road of life, and you can't sleep all day long, what's the use of a good future? Eating well and sleeping well is more important than anything else. ”
Fang Qirui was greatly moved, held her hand tightly, and couldn't help but breathe rapidly.
He Jiaxian said softly: "You bear with it, there is still one year before the filial piety period has passed." ”
"Yes. I can't drag you into the water. Fang Qirui muttered. If he is pregnant during the filial piety period, he is afraid that he will become an official in the future, and just one "filial piety" can get rid of him.
But in this way, Aunt Mei will inevitably be angry with He Jiaxian, and this road will not work.
It was another year of mixing, and when it was autumn, Aunt Mei walked around, wrote letters to the old people in the capital, asked the examiner for Fang Qirui, and inquired about the questions of the exam......
Fang Qirui clenched his fists after hearing this, and did not speak, leaving Aunt Mei Zhang Luo.
arrived in the capital on time, and after the game, Aunt Mei was still waiting for him to be admitted, not seeking a good ranking, but only wishing to be on the list.
There was an official who delivered the paperwork.
Aunt Mei was overjoyed, and ordered her mother-in-law to grab a handful of silver coins and give it to the official, who glanced at Aunt Mei in surprise and said to herself: "Isn't it a sick person?" ”
It's just that who thinks more than silver? It was true that I pinched it, put it in my purse and took it away.
Aunt Mei hurriedly opened the paperwork, gasped after half a ring, and was so angry that her hand holding the paperwork couldn't stop shaking.
Fang Qirui went to the Buddha Hall and knelt for three days.
The document said that Fang Qirui was disrespectful to the examiners who were patrolling in the examination room, and was dismissed.
When Fang Qirui told He Jiaxian, he said so. The examiner came over and saw that he had not written a word, and asked him why. He said straightforwardly: "Old horseman, what's the matter with you?"
Anyone could tell he was doing it on purpose.
When He Runian learned the news, he scolded the evil obstacle at home for three hours, and called He Jiaxian back and scolded her fiercely, "The supervision is not strict." ”
Xu persuaded on the side and said, "Where does she have the ability to control her uncle." ”
For this reason, when Huang Que, who had just entered the promotion, took He Jiahui to send a gift to his home, He Runian did not refuse, He Jiahui was overjoyed, and even He Jiaxian was happy for the two of them.
Since He Jiahui married Huang Que, she has lived wholeheartedly, and she has not interacted with her mother's family, but Huang Que is not grateful to her teacher, and she must visit every New Year's holiday, but naturally there are many people who are rejected and few who are able to enter the door.
Now that you have been recognized, how can you not be happy. He also said: "I'm afraid that the child has no grandfather, so I don't dare to give birth." Now with the approval of my father-in-law and mother-in-law, my marriage with Jiahui is truly completed. ”
Xu couldn't stop wiping his tears and kept saying that the children were sensible.
He Runian also admitted Huang Que's son-in-law in the end, but he just taught them to keep a low profile, and those gossips could be a little careless, and they could have the reputation of Jiahui and affect their children and their parents.
The two men agreed.
He Runian resolutely went to the Fang family to resign from his position, and no longer taught Fang Qixuan of the fourth master's family and Aunt Shen's son Fang Qikai, and concentrated on enlightening He Changjin at home.
After coming and going, the days became poor, but Fang Qirui used the excuse of asking for sin, and sent some silver from time to time, barely making up for it, and Xu didn't dare to tell He Runian, so he could only live a difficult life.
Chunjiao got up again and wanted to drive the coral away.
After making trouble like this a few times, He Runian was miserable, and in order to seek a clean life, he asked someone to bring the coral back.
He Jiaxian thought that the coral was restless, and was about to ask, but Chunjiao was sick and needed someone to take care of it, so the matter of taking the coral back was over.
Seeing that the New Year was about to pass, Aunt Mei and Fang Qirui still ignored it, and the atmosphere of the Fang family was unprecedentedly dignified.
The people have begun to stand silently.
Even the Zhou family couldn't sit still, and wanted to go out of the courtyard to inquire about the news, but was reprimanded by Fang Qizong: "What are you doing sneakily? I can trust the character of the second brother, he will never swallow Bao Qian's things." ”
Zhou couldn't say anything when he heard it, so he had to hold back for the time being.
Fang Qirui quickly sold the Fang family's shop, and the business changed hands.
Aunt Mei was overjoyed, thinking that he was going to be soft, and said with a smile: "You are still young, and you have never known that you have no future since you started here, so you can do it in time." ”
Unexpectedly, early the next morning, Fang Qiye, who had been missing for almost a year, appeared in Fang's Qianzhuang, waiting to be handed over.
Fang Qizong was also pushed in a wheelchair and appeared in Fang's money bank, and took over the account books with Fang Qiye. supervised together, as well as Fang Yuhe.
After all this was signed and signed, and after the intermediary was invited to testify, Aunt Mei got the news in the back house, and said angrily: "Fang Qirui, you were born to me!"
But the dust settled.
Fang Qirui suddenly became an idler.
The third lady and the fifth lady were in a hurry in the house, waiting for Aunt Mei to come over, and asked, "Do you need us to send a letter to the two masters?"
Seeing that Aunt Mei was pondering and not speaking, the two ladies said: "If the eldest daughter-in-law really wants to preside over the feed, let's just not agree, drag her, and wait for the old man to come back to make a decision." ”
Aunt Mei sighed and said: "Your two families have already split up, if you can still talk about major family affairs, this kind of housework in the middle of the feed, which has nothing to do with you, what can you say?"
The third lady was silent.
The fifth lady said: "I don't think it's necessarily the old family's, but the second family's can also be." It's your in-laws' daughter-in-law. ”
Aunt Mei sighed: "Instead of counting on her, I should count on myself." She and I have never been of the same mind. ”
The third lady and the fifth lady looked at each other, and the third lady said ruthlessly: "For today's plan, I can only find a way to get the eldest grandmother away." In this way, there is no one in charge in the back house, can the men not be in charge?"
Aunt Mei and the fifth lady were taken aback and looked at the third lady.
The third lady smiled bitterly: "Don't look at me." Rather than letting the eldest daughter-in-law pinch a few of us elders everywhere, it's better to ......" she made a gritted tooth expression.
Aunt Mei was depressed: "She is the biological mother of Brother Qian'er, let's take a look." If the boss is a clear one, he should know that I am a hundred times better than his daughter-in-law is in charge, as long as he is not blind, the status of the Fang Mansion in Yanzhou City is completely different from the past, and he will definitely be able to see it......"
The fifth lady clasped her hands together and said, "Then Amitabha, just don't bother." ”
Her daughter-in-law was pregnant, and the fifth lady was unwilling to do anything that harmed yin morality.
It turned out to be just a false alarm and took over the business, Fang Qizong said to Aunt Mei earnestly: "You have cooked your home in an orderly manner, and no one in Yanzhou City does not boast." The third and fifth uncles' Zhishi, and the homework of the children in the family, are all your credit. "Please Aunt Mei must continue to be the housekeeper.
Although Aunt Mei knew that Fang Qizong was a person who could take care of the overall situation, she didn't expect him to look down on the Zhou family so much, but she was quite surprised, so she excused herself two or three times and accepted.
In this way, the Fang family changed the situation again.
Fang Qirui is now unwilling to study, and he has no business to take over, so he sits at home with two children, and occasionally points out Fang Yuhe and Fang Qizong.
Fang Qiye still has to rely on five stones to live, when it is good, it is good, and when it is bad, it is sprinkled, Fang Qizong ordered someone to lock him in the house and not allow him to come out.
Fortunately, Fang Qirui transferred most of the industries that needed to be painstakingly and laborious, and now all that is left are shops on the street and Zhuangzi in the countryside, and they only need to collect rent. In addition, Fang Yuhe was left with a silk village, which needed to be taken care of, and she was enough to deal with it.
The Fang family gradually faded out of people's sight in the business district of Yanzhou City, and began to take the road of scientific research.
It's just that except for Fang Qirui, who had the fame of raising people before, and was dismissed later, the rest of the children were only Xiucai, so they stopped, Aunt Mei took a lot of effort in this, but the children are still young and can only stay in the future.
As for Fang Qirui, Aunt Mei has scolded and scolded, and Li has also talked about it, Fang Qirui insisted that it was not intentional, it was the examiner's small temperament.
Lu Yan persuaded Aunt Mei: "Xu is the second master really didn't mean it, the slave has never seen someone who can be willing to give away his fame when he is a child." What's more, he is not only a showman, but also a man. How many people may not be able to pass the exam in their lifetime!"
Seeing that Aunt Mei was frowning, still angry, she thought about it and said, "...... Not to mention that the person who did this kind of behavior is very stupid, even the second grandmother, I am afraid that I will not easily give up with the second master......"
When Aunt Mei heard her mention He Jiaxian, she said angrily: "I must know He Jiaxian when I see him." ”
Lu Yan let out an "ah" and said suspiciously: "The slave has never seen such a daughter-in-law......
"It's not that you haven't seen it, I've lived for so many years, haven't I seen it either?" Aunt Mei said in a deep voice: "This He Jiaxian, she was still a good wife at the beginning, but now she finds that she is pure and has few desires and doesn't care about anything, fame and fortune, official position and silver, the second master has nothing now, she is still not shocked, if she doesn't know, I will definitely not believe it." ”
Lu Yin said: "If it is really the second master's idea, she has nothing to object." ”
"If you can't resist it, you should come and talk to me in advance!" Aunt Mei was obviously angry: "Since she doesn't have me as a mother-in-law in her eyes, I naturally won't be so tolerant of her anymore, and the time has come to make rules!"
Lu Yin cautiously persuaded on the side: "Didn't you say before that the second grandmother doesn't know much about this...... In the past, I also helped the second grandmother, and tried my best to let the slave and maid remind her, so that she didn't set rules in front of her wife......"
"That's because the Chen family was originally born as a businesswoman, and she didn't know any rules, she learned it all from those half-hung people who were not in a proper way, and there was no big difference between the He family and the virtuous and the unorthodox in Chen's eyes. That's why I said that Chen's methods can't be put on the table, and there is no way to take He Jiaxian. At that time, the old man also protected He Jiaxian, and as long as He Jiaxian was a little tougher, she hit the iron plate. Aunt Mei narrowed her eyes: "I'm different here, you can take a look." ”
Green Silk is convinced.
When the family is from a wealthy family, it is raised by the grandmother in the palace, and it is a real official family. The manners and etiquette, the sophistication, and the refinement of the people are not comparable to ordinary officials and eunuchs.
Fang Qirui heard that Aunt Mei was going to teach He Jiaxian to be a housekeeper, but she didn't say much, but told her: "I know your temperament, except for freedom, you can do nothing." But now that you are no longer alone, you have to think more about Ran and Baokun. Think about their future prospects. Although Aunt Mei has been in a hurry to gain quick success in power, she has been good to you and me all these years. This time I want to teach you to be a housekeeper, probably because I have no fame, and she finally gave up, you learn to write more, and the Fang family will rely on you to preside over the feed in the future. ”
He Jiaxian actually gradually understood that in ancient times, you had to follow the rules of the back house, Aunt Mei didn't ask for it before, so she just let it go, and now people have the heart to educate her, and she, as a daughter-in-law and junior, can only suffer obediently.
Besides, she just learned to be a housekeeper, she had managed it before, and there was nothing wrong with it, as long as everything was according to the old routine. If you don't understand it again, ask it from home.
Thinking of Cong Jia, He Jiaxian was gloomy again. Since Ran Ran's marriage to Cong Shaoyu is gone, she really can't raise her face to go to Cong's house again, but I'm afraid that she will never go again.
It's from the fourth grandmother, I don't know if I think about her.
Thinking about it, he walked to Aunt Mei, Aunt Mei smiled and took her hand: "I just said that she was a well-behaved person, and sure enough, she came as soon as she called." Our family is not one of those people with many rules, who specialize in torturing their daughters-in-law for fun, plus the funeral of the old lady, there is no time to teach you at all. Now that I'm getting older, my body is a little unbearable, and you should learn to take care of things and stand alone. ”
