262, twists and turns
Since it's none of her business, He Jiaxian is not easy to interfere with.
Until the fifteenth day of the first month after the New Year, Fang Baoqian suffered from the cold.
Zhou Huiru didn't come, and Miss Xiao Er happened to have no one around Fang Baoqian, so she took care of him carefully.
Fang Baoqian is almost fourteen years old, and although he doesn't understand much about the affairs of men and women, he is ignorant and vaguely knows.
He was groggy and sick, and when Miss Xiao Er's lips touched his cold face, he felt that his hot cheeks were much more comfortable, and he didn't refuse.
Compared with Zhou Huiru, who gets angry at every turn and laughs when she is good, Miss Xiao Er's thoughtfulness makes him very useful.
The little maid who was waiting for Fang Baoqian was pulled to the side by the Xiao family's maid to turn over the flower rope together.
When the maid who delivered the medicine saw this unsightly scene and shouted, the wood was already in the boat.
Fang Baoqian's illness made the news of Miss Xiao Er's light, and the whole Fang family knew about it.
Aunt Mei hurried over to "administer justice" for Miss Xiao Er.
How to preside over it? Either a marriage or compensation.
Fang Baoqian was naturally unwilling to make a marriage so rashly, so the condition for compensation was a shop, or 10,000 taels of silver.
The Xiao family is willing to settle things.
After He Jiaxian heard Aunt Mei's conditions, he understood.
This is collusion with the Xiao family, taking the name of Miss Xiao Er, and exchanging silver for compensation to the fifth lady.
I don't know how the Xiao family is brainless, so I agreed.
He Jiaxian personally went to Xiao's house.
Mrs. Xiao's meaning is obvious, so she will listen to Aunt Mei's arrangement.
"Our Xiao family also has a head and face in Yanzhou City, speaking of which, we have received the favor of Mei Ge Lao in the early years, and now we have this business. Mrs. Xiao didn't leave any room to speak, but the smile on her face never stopped, as if she was talking about someone else's family: "Although the second lady is a concubine, she is not my own child." But all these years by my side, it is the same as my own child. Now that he has been bullied by your eldest young master, I, as a mother, naturally can't just ignore it. β
Mrs. Xiao still smiled slightly: "I still say the same thing, if your family has the sincerity to solve the problem, there are two ways, or marry her." Or, just compensate, I will naturally let people give a gag order to this matter, you know I know, God knows, and I will never mention it again. β
Seeing that the Xiao family had such a tough attitude, He Jiaxian secretly thought that it must have been instructed by Aunt Mei, so he was so angry that he couldn't sit down, so he left immediately.
What kind of ability is it to unite outsiders to pit the family.
Perhaps, in Aunt Mei's heart, there is no family at this moment, only silver.
Over there, Miss Xiao Er stayed in Fang's house, crying and sobbing, and the Xiao family didn't say to take her back, and asked He Jiaxian for three meals a day.
He Jiaxian knew that the Xiao family was forcing himself to make a statement.
Discuss this matter with Fang Qirui, Fang Qirui means that since everything has been done, then marry in.
The lintel of the Xiao family's family background will not insult Fang Baoqian.
But firstly, Fang Baoqian was unwilling, and secondly, He Jiaxian really couldn't bear this sulking.
After thinking about it, he called Fang Baoqian to quietly go to Congfu and visit Fang Yuzhu.
When he came out again, Fang Baoqian was a little depressed: "...... Second aunt, if you want to marry anyway, it's better to marry Sister Zhou. β
He Jiaxian naturally didn't like Zhou Huiru very much, but it was hard to explain to Fang Baoqian, who had just sprouted his spring heart, in case it aroused his rebellious psychology, but the gains outweighed the losses, so he said with a smile: "It's just a plan." The young lady your aunt picked for you is a poetic heirloom, although there are not many famous people in the family, but the tutor is excellent, and the lintel is higher than that of the Xiao family. If you decide Sister Zhou, I'm afraid that the Xiao family will not be convinced. When the Xiao family comes to the conclusion that they are going to give up, it is not too late for us to withdraw from the marriage. β
Fang Baoqian already regretted that he couldn't help poking out the basket for a while, he always hated the ghost at that time, why didn't he push Miss Xiao away. Now seeing He Jiaxian running around with a big belly to plan for him, he was moved in the end, so he was no longer at a stalemate and agreed.
Fang Yuzhu gave He Jiaxian the nephew and daughter-in-law, the master of the family was placed in office, and there were only Mrs. and Miss and young master in the family.
The young lady's surname is Wu, but she is only thirteen years old, knowledgeable and reasonable, and has a gentle temperament.
The interpersonal relationship at home is simple, and He Jiaxian is satisfied when he hears it.
Waiting for Fang Yuzhu to go and say goodbye, he said about asking for marriage.
Mrs. Wu was a little reluctant at first, one was that the child was young, and the other felt that Fang Baoqian had a large property in his hands, and he was afraid of causing others to covet it.
Fang Yuzhu said: "What you see are all shortcomings, and what I see is all advantages." Fang Baoqian is the eldest grandson of the Fang family, uncle and aunt, you know, if you want to embezzle property, I am afraid that there will be no Baoqian for a long time, so why bother to marry someone early for those who covet property? With his conditions, when he is older, isn't it better to choose at will? Besides, if a girl marries in the past, except for an aunt, the second girl of the He family, you know the reputation, and you are reasonable and human. There is no mother-in-law above, there is someone to control the eating and drinking, but no one cares about words and deeds, where is there such a good thing?"
Mrs. Wu also felt very reasonable when she heard this, so she agreed.
In this way, the two families quietly exchanged the eight characters and Gengti, and exchanged the fixed gifts.
For the sake of safety, Fang Baoqian also quietly glanced at the Wu girl outside the door, and saw that her eyebrows were exquisite, small and lovely, and there was no more mustard.
Anyway, it's an expedient measure, and it's not too late to get out of the marriage when the time comes.
He Jiaxian got this marriage, and when he went to Xiao's house again, he was much more confident: "We have thought about it, it is better to marry into the door." It's just that we have already made a marriage with Miss Wu Jia, so Miss Xiao Er can only be wronged. β
When Mrs. Xiao heard this, she trembled with anger: "Be a child, He Jiaxian, you deceive people too much! Where did you have a marriage contract before? Suddenly, you have it! You don't want to bully our family?"
"It's bullying you, what's wrong!" He Jiaxian's domineering appearance was exposed, and he had long seen that the Xiao family was unpleasant: "I bullied you, and you also brought it on yourself." If it weren't for your girl sending everyone away and sending them to the door herself, would you be able to have such a show? You can either agree, or you will tear your face and say who has no face!"
Before, I was worried that speaking out would affect Fang Baoqian's wife, but now that Miss Wu has been decided, I have a wife. Even if it spreads, it will not be because Fang Baoqian was sick and groggy and was seduced by someone, and he really quit the marriage because he kissed him.
For the Wu family, the gains outweigh the losses.
Mrs. Xiao naturally wanted to understand this, and pointed at He Jiaxian: "Okay, you actually used the bureau to coax me." The women of our family will never be small! Either you will lose the money, or you will lose a shop!"
"Lose money?" He Jiaxian laughed contemptuously: "Mrs. Xiao must not know." Because of that kiss, the eldest young master of my family will never forget Miss Xiao Er and is determined to marry her. If the Xiao family is unwilling, we will instead say, why is the concubine affectionate, and Lang is also interested, and we will come to beat the mandarin duck at this time!"
It means that Miss Xiao Er seduced Fang Baoqian, and Fang Baoqian also admitted to the seduction, and the two of them were in agreement, and they should not be separated.
He Jiaxian looked at Mrs. Xiao's smile again, and finally made a cold face, red for a while, white, and finally turned iron-blue, in a good mood, and told her with a smile: "In Yanzhou City, have you ever heard a story? It is said that there is a Khitan named Qiao Feng, and there are two women who like him, one is called A Zhu and the other is called A Zi......"
Mrs. Xiao looked at her in surprise, wondering what she meant by this time?
He Jiaxian smiled: "At the beginning, rumors about the He family were flying all over the sky, and I wrote this book." I'm sure you've heard my name. If I have a heart, I can still write three or four episodes of the story of Miss Xiao Er and my eldest young master's 'Lang Qing Concubine Yi' and 'You Love My Will', so that the storyteller can listen to everyone. Anyway, my family is a man, and my reputation is not good for a while, and it will be dispersed in a few years. It's your young lady...... Tsk, what a daughter like a flower, just ......"
She didn't finish her sentence, and the threat in her words was self-evident.
Only then did Mrs. Xiao understand that He Jiaxian had long harbored evil intentions, and couldn't help but scold her.
He Jiaxian was not annoyed, and waited until she finished scolding before saying, "If Mrs. Xiao is done scolding, hurry up and bring Miss Xiao back." β
Mrs. Xiao is not stupid, so naturally she will not really let Miss Xiao Er be small, so she can only swallow her anger and act as if this incident had not happened.
At the same time, she also secretly hated the shamelessness of the Fang family and the shamelessness of He Jiaxian. can actually do a bad thing that is irresponsible for a woman's chastity.
But this matter can only be endured, and endure a mouthful of internal injuries.
The affairs of the Xiao family subsided.
Zhou Huiru heard what Fang Baoqian said, and came to Fang's house more often.
He Jiaxian is not the person who is formal, I heard that the two parties cannot meet before marriage, but Miss Wu is still so young, it is not rude.
So Ran Ran often invited Miss Wu to come over to play.
Miss Wu has no relatives in her family, and she is with her mother all day long, although she is introverted, she can't stand the nature of a girl.
The Fang family didn't have so many rules and regulations, and after coming here a few times, they liked it very much.
Zhou Huiru sensed the hostility, and had to repeat the old trick in front of Fang Baoqian, either she broke her foot, or the handkerchief fell to the ground, and asked Fang Baoqian to help her pick it up.
At first, Fang Baoqian was quite willing, but many times, many times in front of Miss Wu, he was a little embarrassed.
Knowing that the little girl opposite is his fiancΓ©e, although he is also going to withdraw from the marriage, he is somewhat uncomfortable.
Miss Wu was careless, and only blindly immersed in the free world of Fangfu, and Ran Ran was together, in the sympathetic feelings between friends, for her fiancΓ© Fang Baoqian, on the contrary, she was not so attentive, and many small actions were not noticed.
This made Fang Baoqian's mind change subtly.
Any man will think that women have too much to do, even teenagers.
Zhou Huiru finally peeked at Miss Wu for the fifth time when Fang Baoqian was eating, and couldn't help crying.
Fang Bao coaxed her.
She burst into tears: "Do you like Wu Wei anymore?"
Fang Baoqian was stunned: "Why do I like her!"
"You're married to her!"
"Marriage is just a stopgap measure!"
"Expedient, she still plays at your house every day, shameless!"
"Don't curse. Originally, we were married, and we had to withdraw from the marriage later, so we were already very sorry for her. The second aunt felt guilty and asked her to come to the house to play and compensate her. said that if he divorced in the future, he would also be accepted as a goddaughter. β
"That's nice, I don't think your second aunt is at ease. It doesn't look like you're going to get out of the marriage at all!"
"You said I could, don't say my second aunt, she is a good person!"
"Good man, dominate the Fang family. Also, you're fourteen years old, why hasn't the Fang family's property been given to you yet?"
"What the hell are you doing with all this?" Fang Baoqian was a little annoyed, feeling that she had overstepped her authority.
The Fang family's property was given to him at the age of sixteen. Zhou Huiru inevitably overstepped her bounds.
But in Zhou Huiru's eyes, since Fang Baoqian returned to her grandfather's house, talked to her for the first time, expressed interest in her, and courted her, she was associated with the Fang family's industry.
Mother, eldest aunt, and second aunt all spoke like this: "Huiru, when you become the young grandmother of the Fang family, don't forget us." β
"Yes, the Fang family's industry, that is, we can't finish it for three generations. Fang Baoqian is still young, and he has no parents above, so he won't rely on you to be older than him and help him with it. β
"Yes, you're going to be a good helper. β
After hearing too many words like this, she also felt that she should be the future mistress of the Fang family, the mistress of the Fang family's pile of industries that could not be eaten for three generations.
Now, the position of this hostess is in jeopardy, how can she not be in a hurry?
No matter how open-minded you are, in the end she is just a teenage immature woman, you can endure it for a while, but you can't endure it for a lifetime.
There are two quarrels, and there are three and four.
Fang Baoqian stood on the edge of the pond blowing a cool breeze, distraught.
Miss Wu also stood on the edge of the pond blowing the cool breeze, smiling.
Fang Baoqian looked at her tranquil smile and asked, "What are you laughing at?"
Miss Wu squinted her eyes, like a crescent moon: "I heard that we are married." Shouldn't I laugh if my future husband is so handsome?"
It was the first time that Fang Baoqian had someone praise his appearance, and he was a little embarrassed: "I'm ...... I'm not as good-looking as my fifth uncle. β
"No matter how good-looking the fifth uncle is, he is not my husband, what do I think he does?" Miss Wu naturally replied.
Fang Baoqian stumbled, flattered: "It's a pity that I don't have those properties at home now......"
"My mother said that having more money is not necessarily a good thing, because people are frightened and tired. My father said the same thing, he took twenty taels a month, and sent the rest home. Miss Wu really doesn't know the suffering of others, and she is innocent: "The silver is enough to spend, I have no money at home, but I am very happy." β
Fang Baoqian's heart moved, and when he saw the girl in front of him, he felt that it was the appearance of a real girl.
"My brother loves me, my mother loves me, and my father loves me. Plus you're so good-looking, I'm naturally happy. Miss Wu is truly content: "Sister Ran is also good to me." I grew up so big, I didn't have any cousins and cousins, and I didn't have any cousins and cousins, so my mother was often worried, afraid that I would marry into someone else's family, not understand these things, and be bullied. But when I came to your house, the second aunt treated me well, and although the second uncle didn't smile much, he didn't keep a straight face. It's good, now my mother can rest assured. β
