261. Do not give in to each other

One is even more speechless.

On the fifth lady's side, first, she couldn't afford much silver, and second, Xiao Jinan took off their official positions, since she wanted to win over Xiao Jinan, she naturally couldn't get involved anymore and took the initiative to offend.

That's why there was such a show.

Now that he has Xiao Jinan's personal promise, his heart is steady, and he only secretly said that this trip was not in vain.

He Jiaxian sent away this dry plague god, and his heart became steady, no matter how the fifth lady and Aunt Mei made trouble, she didn't pay much attention to it, and only concentrated on teaching the child to read.

Fang Qiyun got her promise and passed the children's exam in one fell swoop, which was a great joy for the family.

He Jiaxian said that Fang Qirui would move Aunt Lin's grave when he came back, and Fang Qiyun was overjoyed, and his body was much stronger.

Fang Qirui received a letter from He Jiaxian in the distance, and learned that Fang Qiyun had also passed the children's exam, and immediately said that he would come back to help him celebrate.

He Jiaxian prepared with a smile.

Aunt Mei came to Tinglan Courtyard and said that she wanted to borrow silver.

He Jiaxian smiled: "Auntie doesn't know, now the expenses in the house are all supported by the income of the second master's fur shop, and you will ask for 12,000 taels when you open your mouth, where can I get it for you?"

Aunt Mei was stunned, but gritted her teeth again: "How many count!"

"That's only 200 taels!" He Jiaxian ordered Sydney to get the silver, but Aunt Mei was angry and threw her hands away.

He Jiaxian was not annoyed, just waiting for the fifth lady to make a fuss, and Aunt Mei naturally bowed to her.

This time, it was Aunt Mei who was ruthless, and when she quarreled, she couldn't help but smash the fifth lady's head with a vase.

Well, on the debt of 12,000 taels, the fifth lady turned her head and went to the yamen to complain, saying that Aunt Mei bought an official and forced her to pay back the silver.

It's just that he hit the drum at the yamen, and before he could say who he was accusing, he was pulled back by the fifth master: "Don't forget, Qile is also in it, if you sue, won't all the money spent by our family be accused? You stupid woman!"

The fifth master was so angry that he died.

The fifth lady still didn't think so: "She cheated us out of so much silver, so easily spare her?" Master, you can swallow this breath, but I can't swallow it." She paused: "Although Qile has no official position now, his father-in-law is still an official of the court, so he will naturally cover up one or two." ”

Seeing her so stupid, the fifth old man was so angry that he slapped him in the face: "Do you think the matter is not big enough? Qile's father-in-law is in a high position, if he is really ripped off by you, his political enemies in the court will kill him in one fell swoop, do you think this is a trivial matter?"

The fifth lady was indignant: "Said to make an official for Qile, he was afraid of Xiao Jinan, he didn't dare to offend, and he didn't dare to plan for his son-in-law with great fanfare." But when we want to take revenge, we still have to take care of him, what's going on? Dare us to climb up to this Yue family, and we won't get anything. Our family swallowed our anger for that and made a little low, and in the end we won't get anything?"

"You can't get it because Aunt Mei, what's the matter with the master of the Guan family?" The fifth old man was still quite clear: "The official who was happy did a good job." But Aunt Mei offended that Xiao Jin'an, and our family was just affected. After all, we have to find Aunt Mei, she is the culprit!"

The fifth master was also angry. The silver is all the savings of the five houses.

Speaking of Aunt Mei, the fifth lady was angry again: "Yes, I want to sue her, and you won't let me?"

I can only admit it. It's a dead knot.

The two in-laws talked for a long time, and found that they had returned to the original point, and sat down to drink tea in a huff.

Aunt Mei heard that the fifth lady was pulled back by the fifth master, so she calmly patted her chest and sat down.

I heard that the fifth lady was going to the yamen to sue her, and she hurriedly asked Ah Xiu to find the fifth master to explain these words, but the fifth master listened to it.

It's just that it can be stopped for a while, but it can't be stopped for a lifetime, and after the fifth lady regroupes, she will definitely look for her.

can only hope to drag it until Fang Qirui comes back.

In late autumn, Fang Qirui came back in the dust.

Aunt Mei came to borrow the silver, but Fang Qirui didn't know what it was for, so she just told the truth: "The silver has been purchased this time, and there is really no more." The family only has the money for expenses, and if it is given to you, the public school will not be able to eat. ”

He Jiaxian was secretly happy when he heard it, and he also felt that Fang Qirui was telling the truth. Aunt Mei has no ability to repay now, and it is impossible for the whole family to be unable to eat for her alone.

In order to maintain her image in front of her son, Aunt Mei is not easy to tell everything about the whole story. Those who hide it will naturally not get sympathy.

That night, He Jiaxian couldn't stand the pain of lovesickness, so he put down his cold face first.

Fang Qirui was naturally happy.

When it came to the end of the year, the fifth lady's family was also in a hurry to celebrate the New Year, and Xu knew that Aunt Mei had no hope there, so she stopped.

He Jiaxian found out that he was pregnant.

Her menstrual affairs didn't come this month. At first, I thought that I had to take care of the affairs of the family and the children's studies during this time, but the people in the family were so tired that time passed quickly, and I didn't realize it at all.

Until retching always begins.

Fang Qirui was very happy.

Aunt Mei began to stir again.

He Jiaxian was afraid that during her pregnancy, she would take the opportunity to take charge of the affairs of the house, make some small moves, and harm herself with some moths, although she was unwilling to face the enemy head-on, but in order to protect the fetus in her belly, she still invited the fifth lady to come over to the house.

didn't say anything, only said the difficulties in the house, and then said that Fang Qirui took the silver in the public and bought a large number of goods, and in the past two months, until the beginning of spring, I am afraid that the third and fifth rooms can only take care of themselves first.

Although the fifth lady was reluctant, He Jiaxian had already taken the lead in pulling the third lady over and said it, and the third lady said on the spot that there was no problem.

The fifth lady couldn't insist, so she could only reluctantly agree.

At present, Fang Mansion is basically Fang Qirui alone, since Fang Qirui said that there is no silver for the time being, no one can move out.

As a result, the five rooms are stretched.

He Jiaxian didn't break it, but only asked Sydney with a smile in front of the fifth lady: "How much did the rosewood screen in our room cost?"

Sydney stretched out five fingers, meaning five hundred taels.

"Hey, in the end, our color is not as good as Aunt Mei, I remember that a few days ago she was more than seven hundred taels. He Jiaxian sighed: "The family really can't turn around, which makes the fifth aunt smile." ”

Small businessmen who have just started out, poor turnover is a common thing, which also shows that they are going to start to grow bigger, even if the fifth lady is dissatisfied, she is afraid of losing big because of small things, so she can only continue to guarantee support.

But she was unwilling to accept what they said about Aunt Mei who made so much money but didn't repay her debts.

As she was talking, Aunt Mei came over, wearing purple and gold Su embroidered clothes, He Jiaxian showed her a seat, and then said: "I have a big belly now, and the second master is running around outside without touching the ground. ”

The fifth lady saw that Aunt Mei's clothes were precious, and the pearl on her head was also of extraordinary value, and she immediately puffed up in her heart.

As soon as she walked out of the courtyard gate, the fifth lady was so angry that she grabbed Aunt Mei: "When will you pay me back the money?

The fifth lady was so angry, Aunt Mei thought that He Jiaxian specially told her to "dress better, so as not to lose the dignity of the Fang family." "What else don't you understand, this is He Jiaxian deliberately giving her eye medicine.

But today there is another task, it is not good to really entangle with the fifth lady at the door, Aunt Mei took a bracelet from her hand: "You take it first, I will come back after I finish my errands." ”

Mrs. State Mansion's banquet, this is a good opportunity for her to show her face. As long as she is favored by the lady of the state capital, He Jiaxian will give her some face in the mansion in the future, and she will not be as shameless as before.

The fifth lady held on: "I won't let you go, a broken bracelet wants to be sent to me." What about the rosewood you bought a few days ago? So much silver, give me back first!"

What kind of rosewood? Aunt Mei wanted to deny it, but when she thought that He Jiaxian had become a rosewood, she explained: "Where did I do it? It was He Jiaxian! Don't make a mistake!"

"I'm not mistaken! You give me the money, and I'll let you go!" the fifth lady made a fuss.

Aunt Mei couldn't dodge, and Ah Xiu had already scuffled with the fifth lady's maid.

Fang Qirui got off the sedan chair at the gate, and when he raised his eyes, he saw this scene, and his face immediately turned red.

"Fifth Aunt!" he first called out respectfully, in terms of identity, the Fifth Lady was more noble than Aunt Mei.

Before, it was just because Aunt Mei was in charge of the money in the public school, so she stammered like that.

Two women over half a hundred years old are disheveled, and Aunt Mei disdains to do anything with such a person.

But forced by the situation just now, if she didn't do it, she would be beaten by the fifth lady in vain, and she had to fight back.

Fang Qirui looked at his biological mother, who had always been dignified and dignified, and was like a shrew, fighting with relatives at the door, and he was really angry.

Just as he was about to ask, He Jiaxian trotted over all the way, saw Fang Qirui there, and hurriedly said: "I heard the next person's report that my aunt and the fifth aunt had a fight, so I hurried over to take a look." ”

Fang Qirui said: "You can handle the affairs of the inner house, I still have to read the accounts, and go back to the study first." ”

Before he finished speaking, He Jiaxian bent down and frowned: "My stomach ......"

Sydney was startled, and hurriedly helped He Jiaxian to sit down casually on the threshold first: "...... The second grandmother was very anxious when she heard that things were going on, and she ran all the way. Don't get your tires gased. ”

Fang Qirui hurriedly went up to help, and told her to rest.

He Jiaxian went to Tinglan Courtyard again.

She doesn't care, Fang Qirui can't ignore it.

After listening to the fifth lady finish the matter as it was, from beginning to end, Fang Qirui couldn't raise his head in shame.

No wonder he didn't stop when he came back, and Aunt Mei came to borrow money.

Twelve thousand taels, Aunt Mei squandered it like this?

Fang Qirui looked at Aunt Mei with a dead heart, and waved his hand weakly: "I can't control this matter." ”

The fifth lady collapsed when she heard this, if she couldn't even control Fang Qirui, who else would care.

Those silver have no IOUs and the second involve buying officials, and they don't dare to really make a big fuss, so this loss will be stuffy.

"Okay, second child, you don't care, I can only sell her things first, as many as I can!" The fifth lady was about to go to the house to call someone.

Aunt Mei's later purchases were all expensive or luxurious, and she still expected them to be decent, and there were also a lot of meanings of competing with He Jiaxian at the beginning.

At this moment, when I heard it, it was her lifeblood and the last family foundation, and she couldn't let all the five ladies move away like this.

It's better to talk about it, and come back after she goes to the state capital for a meeting.

"This is a major matter related to the Fang family, delayed, if the state lord hates the Fang family, can you afford it?" Aunt Mei was so entangled that she couldn't do it.

The fifth lady was frightened and agreed.

What if you don't believe it? Kill people or have no money.

Aunt Mei cleaned up and hurried to the lady of the state capital.

I went late, and although Mrs. Zhou didn't say anything, it was unlikely that she would be close.

After receiving the task and coming back, it was just that there was an influx of disaster victims in Yanzhou City, and each merchant had to apportionment the silver, because it was a hard apportionment, and it was not good for the state capital to come forward, after all, there was no formal formalities for the imperial court.

The lady of the state capital and the ladies of each family are homely, and they have decided in their own hearts.

The Fang family is 10,000 taels.

He Jiaxian was so angry that he jumped down from his chair when he heard this: "Ten thousand taels!

"How do you calculate it? Naturally, Baoqian's industry is also included. Aunt Mei was silent.

He Jiaxian glanced at Aunt Mei coldly: "I'll ask." ”

Someone sent a prayer post, and it was really 10,000 taels.

Although Fang Qirui was not angry, he could only admit it. Fang Baoqian's industries are now sealed and live on shop rent, but in the final analysis, these industries will also have a comeback sooner or later, even if they say that the sky is broken, saying that Fang Mansion is now just supported by a fur shop, people will not believe it.

It's better to pay it honestly, and when Fang Baoqian takes over one day, it will be cost-effective for the government to find less trouble.

In this way, he began to raise money again, and in the end, he had no choice but to sell a shop in Fang Baoqian's industry.

The fifth lady came to Aunt Mei after breakfast.

Aunt Mei had some way in her heart, and hurriedly pulled her outside: "You wait for a month, and I will pay you back 5,000 taels." If you can't do it, you can pull my stuff and sell it again. ”

The fifth lady was suspicious, and forced Aunt Mei to write her an IOU of five thousand taels for a month: "I will believe you." ”

I thought that Fang Baoqian's industry could never be moved, this was Fang Qirui's bottom line, and the two of them quarreled countless times about this matter. In the end, Fang Qirui ignored her, and it was all for Fang Baoqian.

After a long time, she didn't dare to mention the matter of letting Fang Qirui take over her nephew's business.

But now when the Fang family needs silver, they still move Fang Baoqian's industry.

It can be seen that this rule is not that it cannot be changed, but that it depends on the change of people.

In that case, she has a solution.

Miss Xiao came to Fang's house more frequently, more than Zhou Huiru.

She didn't speak when she came, she didn't seem to take Fang Baoqian in her eyes, she just dressed up bright and cold every day, and she was beautiful every day.

He Jiaxian was surprised inexplicably, and then smiled: "She learns to write with Aunt Mei every day." ”
