"There's no evidence. "Jin Huan is holding a gold bracelet, heavy, she is a slave and a maid at home, and she can't earn this one for ten years:" ...... It's a matter of chasing after the wind. ”

"You have no contact with the Fang family, how can you catch these winds?" the woman asked.

"Where is it our business, we all follow orders, we subordinates ......" Jin Huan stopped talking halfway through.

"Okay, if you don't say it, I know, it must be the eldest grandmother who said it, she also has a grudge against Grandma Fang?" The woman asked tentatively: "I'll go and ask to see the eldest grandmother......"

"What nonsense? When Jin Huan heard that he wanted to see the eldest grandmother, he was half frightened: "She doesn't know, don't tell her." Tell her I'm dead. ”

"Then who else can tell you two to move ...... besides the eldest grandmother" The woman didn't believe it.

Jin Huan didn't speak, and pushed the woman out: "If it's okay, you can go, I know so much." ”

"If you don't say it, I'll tell the eldest grandmother that I am revengeful, and I can be willing to give up the silver and my life!" The woman threatened viciously: "It's all said halfway, where is the reason to take it back? If you tell it all, I will keep it secret for you, if you can't say it all, then everyone will break up and be unlucky!"

Jin Huan was so frightened that he didn't expect this person to come to talk, and hurriedly said: "Is what you said serious?

She and her sister Yinhuan are serving the eldest grandmother, and if they are exposed to listen to other people's orders, they will be "eating inside and outside". The woman secretly thought that this is the most taboo for being a slave and a maid.

Who knows, Jin Huan hesitated for a long time before he said a person: "Uncle, it was Uncle who told us to say this." ”

Uncle from the family? he ...... And don't let the grandmother know, which one is this singing?

After Hongmei inquired about the news, she came back and told He Jiaxian the truth, but He Jiaxian was confused - in her impression, she had almost never dealt with Uncle Cong, let alone offended him!

Thinking about it carefully, those rumors were all based on He Jiahui's rumors, and it felt like a boring person talking casually, with no intention of wanting her to die.

It's weird.

Zhou came to see Ran Ran and gave a string of bracelets, which were crystal clear, and said that they were brought back from Yunnan by their relatives.

Crystal is not strange in modern times, but it is expensive in ancient times, He Jiaxian excused herself for a long time, and Zhou insisted that she accept it: "Now, after all these years, I can see clearly who is a human and who is a ghost in this Fang family." Speaking of which, I am not afraid of my younger brothers and sisters laughing, I have been married to the Fang family for so long, and only now do I live like a person. ”

Since Zhou's pregnancy, that day has been soaring, even the uncle who has always disliked him has been kind to her, decoction, feeding, scrubbing and other dirty work that she is used to doing, telling her to have a good baby.

Master Fang has already made a promise to a shop in the Fang family - if he gives birth to a son, he will be assigned to her name.

Chen held Zhou in his hand for the first time, and heard Zhou say that he was idle and bored every day, and it was said that he assigned all the errands for the purchase of kitchen ingredients to her - there was a lot of oil and water, and she was not tired, so she only needed to go to the kitchen early in the morning every day to order a meal and look at the dishes and accounts.

It can be said that the Zhou family is in the Fang family, and they are in the limelight for a while.

Fang Yuzhu encountered something unpleasant again-she was going to be selected into the palace.

It has been three years since the current Holy Empress was born, and he is going to be re-elected.

By the way, it is also for those young princes and princes of the appropriate age to choose wives or side rooms for the little princes and sons of the royal families to show the emperor's grace.

Second Master Fang's official position happened to be within the scope of the election, and Fang Yuzhu didn't want to go, but he had to go.

Come and complain to He Jiaxian.

Of course, there is no other way to complain.

"Maybe your father is too young to be elected?" In He Jiaxian's impression, aren't the court dramas he watched all high-ranking officials and nobles, and only those with prominent family backgrounds can participate in the selection?

"The bad is here, in the past, my father's official position had no chance at all, and it was not a holy concubine, and he could still give small officials a chance, anyway, one more is not more, one less is not less, and it can also show benevolence. This is choosing a wife with the sons of the world, and it is not possible to have a certain family background. Who knew that this year, the saint lowered the threshold and included petty officials like my father. Fang Yuzhu sighed heavily: "I would have known that I wouldn't have withdrawn from the marriage, marrying that Feng Yifei, it's a little muddy, in the end, it's free, it's a small family, the money is enough to spend, and there are not so many rules." ”

What Fang Yuzhu hates most is the rules, so he likes the strong northwest where his father works.

"Why did you suddenly lower the threshold?" He Jiaxian cared about this.

"Who would say this clearly, it's not for themselves to guess. Fang Yuzhu felt that there was no need to ask this question at all: "It's not just those powerful ministers who have a strong alliance with the emperor's relatives in marriage, and the saint is not satisfied." Arresting us petty officials who are promoted to fight is fair to put it nicely, but in fact it is a separation of powers......"

"Then it's about centralization. He Jiaxian understood as soon as he heard it: "In this way, you have a better chance!"

"Isn't it? That's why I'm worried. If there is a precedent before, it doesn't matter, just go through the motions, after all, who doesn't want the strong to be stronger, it is naturally a good choice. But this time it was repeatedly instructed by the Holy Lord, and when the time comes, there will definitely be wise people who understand the Holy Lord's intentions, give up the daughters of those high-ranking officials and nobles, and only attack a little woman with a low status like us, then there will be no escape. Fang Yuzhu was extremely depressed: "Hey, it's all fate, it's all fate." ”

He Jiaxian couldn't come up with a good idea, so he could only tease Xiao Ranran, making her immature laughter, so that Fang Yuzhu could be a little happy.

Chen asked Ho Ka-yin to speak.

"Second sister-in-law is here?" Fang Yulu changed her usual politeness across the distance, and greeted her warmly: "Ran Ran asleep?"

The Fang family still likes Ran Ran, the little girl of the pink ball, except for the Chen family, of course.

Ran Ran is indeed very easy to bring, maybe He Jiaxian can eat and sleep when she is pregnant, and she can also eat and sleep.

He Jiaxian was surprised by her enthusiasm today, thinking that it was inseparable from her family.

Sure enough, the Chen family was not polite to her at all, and went straight to the point: "You are more familiar with the Cong family, go and inquire if the Eighth Young Master has made a marriage." ”

From the Eighth Young Master?Who is that?

He Jiaxian looked at Fang Yulu with an expectant expression, and vaguely understood that it could not be one of the people Fang Yulu stared at that day.

Who did she inquire with? And Chen's voice was much faster than herself, so it was such an easy little thing, so it wouldn't bother her.

"If not, you go and probe and see if your fourth sister has a chance. Chan added.

He Jiaxian understands that this is the point.

Although he was very reluctant, it was Fang Yulu's lifelong event, so he said bluntly: "We are our daughter's family, shouldn't we be more reserved?"

"Reserved, look at Fang Yuting, Fang Yuyan, which one is reserved?" Chen sneered: "People like us who are in business, those who want to make a fortune with low status, are naturally in a hurry to ask for marriage, and they are like leeks. But our target is not those who want to get wet. Women want to marry high, don't you understand?"

He Jiaxian understood. If it is the right door, Fang Yulu is afraid that she will not even be able to enter the corner of her eyes from home.

Speaking of which, Chen and Master Fang, the two of them are worthy of being husband and wife, and their purpose is surprisingly the same.

Master Fang wants his sons to be officials and work hard to improve the rank.

The Chen family wants their daughters to marry officials and quickly move up the ranks.

It's just that it's obviously difficult, He Jiaxian didn't want to get into this troubled water, so he thought about it and said: "It's not that I don't want to, I only have a relationship with the fourth grandmother of the Cong family, but the fourth grandmother never cares about these things, and lives in the family in a simple way." Even if I did, it would be very difficult. ”

"You just don't want to contribute to the Fang family. Chen sneered: "Although the fourth grandmother doesn't care, if she has the heart to take care of her, the ladies in charge of the house will still buy her account." ”

Looks like you're inquiring very clearly. He Jiaxian sneered, he was so sure that he came to force himself to beg for help.

"I opened my mouth, it's not that I can't, but the weight is limited, mother thinks about it, if the maid comes to beg you, it is logical for you to refuse, or is it more refreshing for your father to beg you?" He Jiaxian just wanted to quickly put aside this hot potato.

"What do you mean?" Chen raised his eyebrows in dissatisfaction.

"I'm a junior, talking about my sister's marriage, I'm afraid that the husbands of the Congjia can't take it seriously at all, even if the fourth grandmother mentions, the Congjia lady only has to call me over to shirk a few words, and I have nothing to say, isn't it? Maybe, from my identity, I don't have a good impression of the fourth sister. He Jiaxian was kind and tempting: "But if you change to a person with a high status, then the ladies of the family have to think about it carefully, how much they have to sell a few thin noodles, and they won't say too much, so the fourth sister will have a chance." ”

"You mean......" Chen really didn't think of this person for a while.

"Big sister. He Jiaxian stroked his palm: "The eldest sister is the wife of the prince of the Hou Mansion, and she is the same mother as the fourth sister, so it is perfect for her to go." Even if the people from the family want to refuse, won't they think about it, is the fourth sister the sister-in-law of Mrs. Shizi?"

Fang Yulu's eyes lit up when she heard this: "Yes, the second sister-in-law's proposal is very good." She understood what He Jiaxian meant.

If He Jiaxian came out, then the ladies of the family would directly associate that Fang Yulu was just her, the sister of He Jiaxian, a businesswoman, and the daughter of the Fang family.

The Chen family naturally thought of this, but had some concerns: "Your eldest sister has nothing to do with the Congfu, so she came to visit ...... rashly."

"Isn't the second sister familiar with Congfu? The two of them are sisters, and they are also concubines, please ask the second sister to attract and introduce them from the middle, and everything will fall into place. ”

Chen was very moved when she heard it, but she really didn't like Fang Yuting, it seemed that she could only come forward to call Fang Yuhe, and ask Fang Yuhe to invite Fang Yuting, as long as she didn't contact Fang Yuting.

He Jiaxian threw out this hot potato, but it was very comfortable, and he went back to the house to play with Xiao Ran for a while, until Fang Qirui came back, with a worried face, and hugged him for a while and let the nurse hug him.

"Maybe I'm overestimating myself. Fang Qirui and the others were the only two of them, and they were a little decadent: "After the third brother was beaten, he was more honest, and he was very well-behaved in front of him these few times, and the master handed over some of the original business to him." ”

Although he is flat and straightforward, He Jiaxian can feel his deep sense of loss - no matter how hard he tries, he can't compare to Fang Qiye's identity.

is also a son, but the treatment is very different.

This kind of encounter, Fang Qirui has suffered for eighteen years, and it is not something that he can explain in a few words, He Jiaxian tried to change the angle: "Do you think that your father doesn't value you, have you really put your heart into your heart?"

"You call me father in front of people, but I have always listened to you after people. He Jiaxian smiled: "You already have a gap in your heart, but you complain that others are not sincere to you?"

Fang Qirui didn't expect her to mention this, so she didn't speak.

Three days later, Aunt Mei came - since He Jiaxian came forward when she gave birth to a child, she is no longer as low-key as in the past, but from time to time to ask people to bring things over, and occasionally meet in the garden to talk to He Jiaxian.

Fang Qirui was not there when she came.

"Where's the second young master?" Aunt Mei looked around: "Going out to play again?"

He Jiaxian nodded, Fang Qirui went out to relax. As soon as he had nothing to do, a fox friend came to call him. Based on her trust in him, she never cared.

Of course, as a wife who had no status in ancient times, she couldn't control it.

She has always believed that good men are not made out of management.

"Persuade him. Aunt Mei sighed deeply: "Tell him to study hard, don't go out to play all the time." ”

He Jiaxian wondered, didn't Aunt Mei come to the door to explain some time ago, saying that because she was the daughter of a criminal minister, she didn't let Fang Qirui Zhishi?

Seeing He Jiaxian's doubts, Aunt Mei explained with a smile: "I didn't expect that I had a relationship with you. ”

"Some time ago, rumors spread all over Yangzhou City, and I heard the name of Mrs. He - it was my father's old friend and my grandfather's protégé. Aunt Mei smiled indifferently, still as calm as a chrysanthemum: "We met on the street that day, and I went to visit Mrs. He." ”

He Jiaxian was not surprised when he thought of the results that Fang Qirui had found.

"Mrs. He told me some secrets, telling me that I don't have to hide in Tibet, everything has passed, but it has not completely passed. Aunt Mei said mysteriously: "I asked the second young master to take the test this time, strive for a showman, and then go all the way to the exam, enter the officialdom, and check carefully, in the end, those things have not passed in the past." ”

He Jiaxian was dumbfounded. She thought that Fang Qirui deliberately failed the exam this time as before.

It was true that he deliberately failed the exam, but he didn't expect that he didn't listen to Aunt Mei's words, and he still went his own way and deliberately failed the exam.

It sounds the same, but it's different.

After all, he used to listen to Aunt Mei's words and deliberately failed the exam. Now that Aunt Mei has asked him to be admitted, he should be admitted.

It's weird.
