174. Crisis of public opinion
He Changqing smiled and nodded: "I don't want that old house, it is in tatters, if there is silver, who doesn't want to buy a new house..." But my second uncle's little money is all to put it bluntly, who doesn't know? He is upright, and he doesn't accept gifts from students' parents, and he also helps those children from poor families, what kind of money can he have? I guess you're thinking about it. ”
"You forgot, the He family also has a second young 'milk' and 'milk' of the Fang family. Cai reminded: "Her men are in charge of the Fang family's silk business, and it is said that it is tens of thousands of taels a year." When men have power, 'women' will naturally be rich. ”
Her two sons should naturally have two houses, otherwise where can they squeeze into the small dilapidated house now? If they have another grandchild, they will not be able to live in it.
"You're so loud, why do I think it's so unreliable. Aren't you afraid that your grandmother will blame?" He Changqing smiled, and didn't think so, Cai's plan was simply a fool's dream, not to mention He Runian, 'Chun' Jiao had a son, how could he still let He Zhai out?
"Otherwise, I will also go to the Fang family to be poor, and let the second sister reward me with a little 'flower' silver. He Changqing was still giggling.
"You know. Cai knocked He Changqing again: "You are not allowed to go to He Jiaxian." That's their own business, if it happens, we always have a chance, if not, let's not go to that troubled water. Only then did He Changqing understand that the Cai family didn't have any real plans at all, just thinking about 'touching' the fish in troubled waters.
"Mother, you are really, since there are no obvious interests, why are you doing so much?" He Changqing was very disdainful: "If you have that kind of effort, it is better to 'spend' a little effort at the entrance of the 'door' and shout more, and pull some business for the shop." ”
"......" Cai did not speak.
It was a secret in her heart, and she would never tell anyone.
She married into the He family, and her husband had a 'daughter', and then the Xu family also gave birth to a 'daughter'. That's good, everybody to each other.
Later, she gave birth to two sons, and Xu still gave birth to two 'daughters'.
Well, she has the upper hand.
However, the mother-in-law still didn't like her, and her husband was busy calculating the idea business all day long, and he didn't love her.
Look at the Xu family again, after He Runian broke off, He Runian was still polite and caring to her, and Mrs. He looked at her with a pleasant face.
On the other hand, I was serving the elderly to take care of the children, and I had to take care of the house, so I wanted to ask a maid to help, and the maid finally went to serve my mother-in-law. I want to invite a few old mothers, but He Bonian said no, it is enough to invite a maid, wash clothes and cook for the family, please spend too much money, and there are two sons at home, so I want to save money for them to marry a daughter-in-law.
So, the maid mainly served her mother-in-law, and did some housework by the way, and she still came with the big head.
In fact, she knew that the family was not as poor as He Bonian said, but the money was firmly held in the hands of her mother-in-law and did not take it out, so she always seemed to have no money.
What about the Xu family, He Runian is a person who doesn't know how much money to save, how much 'spending' there is, and the Xu family is pampered, like a broad wife.
are all the daughters-in-law of the He family, just concubines, why!
Chua was angry for many years. However, because of the knot between Mrs. He and He Runian, the two families have not had any major dealings except for the New Year's holidays. Of course, the two brothers will still get together from time to time, and she also likes to ask her sons to go to their uncle's house more often to contact their feelings, and also asks Xu to look at her son, thinking that she almost broke the incense of the He family and taught her to be uncomfortable.
Later, 'Chun' Jiao came, she was very happy, and Xu was not doing well, so she was happy.
But soon, she invited a maid named Sango, who was very powerful, and the Xu family was pampered like a wife, and she was even more angry!
My mother-in-law has been taking 'medicine' for many years, and the silver from the running water has been 'spent', and I haven't seen the second room take out the money.
Although the reputation of filial piety was won by her family, she did not see the people of Yanzhou City scolding He Runian for being unfilial? Everyone still rushed to send the child to him to study, and when they met, they respectfully called Mr. He.
Why? It's all the same 'woman'!
Cai gritted his teeth and was not angry, seeing that He Changqing had already eaten peas and left, looking at his broad back, the corners of his mouth couldn't help but bring a smile, Xu, you are proud of your life, and when you are old, it is not that there is no one to give you a pension and send you to the end of the year?
Thinking about it like this, I was happier in my heart, and stood at the 'door' to shout for business.
The rumor spread not long after 'Chun' Jiao returned.
said that someone bumped into He Jiahui, the third 'daughter' of the He family, first with his uncle Gu Qingrang, and then with He Runian's student Huang Que.
Bad morals and shamelessness.
When it reached He Jiaxian's ears, it had been boiling over Yanzhou City for several days, and there was no tendency to extinguish it at all.
Coral quietly came to deliver a message, saying that Xu was completely ill and had difficulty even eating.
He Jiahui was dragged back from Huang Que's house by He Runian and locked up in the backyard, and he hadn't eaten or drunk for two days, and he wasn't even allowed to see Xu's look.
Ho Ka Yin wants to go home.
The Chen family sent someone over: "It's about the reputation of the He family and the reputation of the Fang Mansion, you must not go back to wade into this troubled water at this time! If you are seen talking with a man again, then the Fang family will not be clear! This is also what the master meant." ”
Since it was what Master Fang meant, the nursing home that watched the 'door' would naturally not let He Jiaxian enter and exit at will as usual.
The Tinglan courtyard was blazing.
When Fang Qirui came back, he saw He Jiaxian sweating with a big belly, and hurriedly stepped forward to support him: "Don't worry, I've already gone back to see it, my mother-in-law's illness is a little tricky, and I have asked Dr. Han to treat her again, Jiahui doesn't have to worry about it for the time being, I heard that she secretly sent steamed buns." ”
What Fang Qirui didn't say was that he sent someone to ask for a doctor, and as soon as the doctor heard that he was going to He's house, he waved his hand and shook his head and was unwilling to go.
This can't be, and dragged the good Dr. Han.
He Jiaxian was finally a little comforted when he heard this, calmed down a little, and sat down.
With Fang Qirui moving outside, it should be fine.
"Do you want to find out the source of the rumor and ask that person to come out and refute the rumor?" Fang Qirui thought of the simplest and most effective method.
"No!" He Jiaxian immediately refused, finding that his nervousness was a little excessive, and hurriedly explained: "I don't want to find trouble for myself, I have a tire." ”
Fang Qirui expressed his understanding: "Then wait for the time to pass, it will be diluted slowly, don't worry." ”
Chen Shi rushed over angrily and asked the teacher: "Second brother, what do you mean? Do you openly disobey your father's order? You said not to 'meddle' in the affairs of the He family, the people in their family are shameless, and there is another one in our family, don't forget, go back and implicate us!"
Fang Qirui raised his head and looked at Chen coldly: "Madame, let's discipline the third brother more, he is now hooking up a brothel, drunk and forgetful, I sent someone to pull it back yesterday......"
Chen knew that Fang Qiye was taking a break outside, but he didn't expect it to be such a distraction, so he was startled and hurriedly asked.
"The third brother and that Feng Yifei Young Master Feng have the same temperament and 'sexuality', and now that Young Master Feng is out of marriage, the third brother is unemployed, and the two of them cherish each other, and they miss each other very much. Fang Qirui has never given Chen's a good face, and after saying a few words, he said: "There is also that little shop, if the third brother doesn't want to take care of it, he will 'hand' it back as soon as possible, so as not to lose money when he gets it, and he will have to use other shops to make up for the shortfall!"
"Yo, say it as if the Fang family is your master. When Chen heard this, he was not in a hurry, and Fang Qirui's attitude of 'revealing' it didn't carelessly 'provoke' her: "You want to take over the Fang family's family business so soon?
"What did Madame say?" Fang Qirui didn't expect her to be so sensitive, and it was rare to explain: "It's just that I have been learning business with my father these days, and I found that it is indeed not easy to make money, and I am a little worried." ”
"Worrying? The Fang family's business has my own 'worry' with your father, where is your turn to bear the worries of that Laoshizi!" The more Chen spoke, the more angry he became, and he didn't choose to speak: "Don't forget, you are a concubine, and this business will never be your turn to 'worry'! Even if my business loses all my family property, there is no part for you to worry about!"
Fang Qirui and He Jiaxian were both hearing her say so bluntly for the first time, and they couldn't help but be stunned, and they didn't speak after a while.
After Chen finished speaking, he consciously lost his words, glared at them with hatred, and went back.
The rumors spread more and more, and even He Jiaxian brought it in, saying that she did not distinguish between right and wrong, and let He Jiahui and Gu Qing let the wind go, and let the two have a 'private' meeting.
Even, after a few more days, there were already ladies together, 'handing over' heads: "Have you heard, the second 'milk' and 'milk' of the Fang family are not good goods and 'sex', the sage book has been read for a while, and there are still male thieves and 'female' prostitutes behind their backs, and the He family's family style is not right." ”
Even Mrs. He was pulled out and said that if she had committed something in the capital and resigned and went to Yanzhou City to take refuge, she was not telling the old man to return to her hometown at all, "Otherwise, why does Mrs. He not allow Second Master He to be an official." ”
The He family was famous for a while, but it was also notorious.
He Runian was politely persuaded to retire from the school and lost his job.
There are some pedantic scholars who have gone to He Jia's house to block the 'door' and ask He Jiahui to be pulled out to Shentang.
The Gu family was also deeply affected. Old lady Gu also loudly defended, "There's no such thing!" and asked Gu Qing to come out and make it clear.
Who knew that Mrs. Gu, the stepmother of the Gu family, was a stupid person, and took the opportunity to say to people in the back, "I saw that something was wrong, so it turned out to be like this", and painted a 'color' to exaggerate the quarrel between He Jiahui and Gu Qingrang on the street.
Gu Qingrang couldn't say anything at all this time, so he could only temporarily close the shop and hide in a distant relative's house - anyway, there was no business in the shop.
He Yinlan wanted to go with her, but after thinking about it, she chose to stay, she wanted to take her son to guard the old lady Gu - she was afraid that Mrs. Gu would take the opportunity to take away the Gu family's property.
Old Madam He dragged her sick body and leaned on the couch, and said angrily to He Runian: "You dare! If you drive Hui Yatou out, I will die with her......" After saying that, she said violently, "cough, cough, cough."
He Runian knelt with his head bowed, without saying a word, the green tendons on the back of his hand burst out, and his eyebrows were furrowed.
Cai's sighed at the 'door' of the shop-the He family's 'waves' also 'affected' her family's business, and it hadn't opened for several days. Even, He Changbai's relatives were added to the bride price of 20%.
I don't know who released the wind - it's really 'fine'.
Cai's mood was entangled, on the one hand, she felt that it was really a good show, and it was best to make He Runian's 'chicken' dog restless, and on the other hand, she found that the two He families were both damaged, which affected her family.
Speaking of which, it's all because of Xu's indiscretion, and he can't teach him to be a 'girl', and now he has been punished.
Where in this world is there a piece of paper that can hold the fire?
He Runian came out of the back 'door' of his eldest brother's house in despair, and he Yinlan was on the corner, she was tightly wrapped, dressed like a village 'woman', with a headscarf wrapped around her head, her body was thin, and her face was sallow: "What does my mother say, are you willing to 'hand' Jiahui out?"
If He Jiahui was 'handed over' and disposed of, after a period of time, the rumor would be quiet, and Gu Qingrang would be saved.
He Runian shook his head.
He Yinlan sighed regretfully, but she was very happy in her heart - it was her own niece and nephew, she was caught in the middle, a dilemma!
"You go back first, don't come out lately, be careful. He Runian patted his sister on the shoulder: "Mother asked me to call Jiaxian back." ”
"What do you tell her to do? What can she do? She has a big belly and can't walk. "He Yinlan was suspicious.
"Mother didn't say it, but the elders have a life, and they should follow it. He Runian drooped his head, the dignity he had worked hard to earn over the years was all gone.
He Yinlan looked at the second brother's straight back, which used to be 'strong', but now it has bent down, and the originally black temples have turned white in the past few days.
Her heart was sour, and tears were dripping down.
Married to her husband, if Gu Qingrang was 'affected' because of this matter and had no future, how good would she be?
Although he is hiding now, how long will he hide is the end?
She pondered hard at home, and finally only thought of this idea: to 'hand over' He Jiahui, no matter what the people do, or if she is in exile, as long as she is removed from the He family, driven out of Yanzhou City, and calms down the people's anger, Gu Qingrang came back again, saying that he was 'lured' by He Jiahui at the beginning, and soon the matter will be turned over.
She went home to discuss He Runian, and He Runian naturally refused, but when she thought of the reputation of the He family, the worship of the ancestors and ancestors, and the hope of future generations...... He nodded.
If He Jiahui is responsible alone, he can keep the descendants of the He family from being implicated, and he, as the son of the He family, must do this!
I didn't expect to be strongly opposed by Mrs. He!
He Runian, like He Yinlan, was a little regretful, but also a little fortunate - he thought, it really can't be done, so according to the strategy of the East Window incident, he sent He Jiahui to be a sister-in-law, but he didn't have this 'daughter'.
Compared with He Yinlan's direct expulsion of He Jiahui from the He family, this method can at least ensure her safety.
In such a world, if a 'girl' child is left to fend for herself, wouldn't it be a sheep to be sent into the mouth of a tiger? What way can she survive except to be willing to fall?
It's not that He Runian doesn't understand, it's just that he's too pedantic.
Now that Mrs. He disagreed, he breathed a sigh of relief - after all, it was not that he wanted to protect the shameless 'daughter'! It was not that he recognized the 'daughter' who had 'humiliated' the family! It was not that he did not give a 'handover' to his own sister who was hurt in this matter!
