154. New plans
Sitting in the carriage home, Fang Yuhe divided the silver ticket into three: "20,000 taels for the wife of the state capital, 20,000 taels for the mother-in-law." Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info" She handed the remaining 10,000 taels to the maid Qing'er: "You can take this 10,000 taels." ”
"That's not good, I listened to what Mother Jin meant just now, madam, this is the silver at the bottom of the box. Qing'er was a little hesitant.
"I'll give it back to her when I have enough money in the future. You don't know what Mrs. Hou looks like, two sons and one grandson have no silver relatives. Why did Fang Yuting please her, it was because she could get the silver, I had an opportunity this time, why don't I take the opportunity?" Fang Yuhe was very tired after talking for a while: "You shut your mouth for me." ”
Qing'er didn't dare to make a sound. In the end, Fang Yuhe was a little unbearable, and cheered himself up: "It doesn't matter, the family can donate 500,000 stone of grain for disaster relief at will, and my mother is in charge of the expenses of so much silver in the public school, and she can't go anywhere poor." ”
Fang Qiye was put back early the next morning, saying that he was young and ignorant, and he drank again, and the lord of the state government generously didn't care about him, and he was locked up for a few days to get angry, and it was just a matter of sharpening his temperament.
It's just that at this point, Master Fang not only didn't allow him to take over any business, but also didn't let him go to the family's shop, let him study the students' scriptures and accounts again, and only after learning to re-examine and meet Master Fang's requirements.
On the contrary, because the business was too busy, Master Fang asked Fang Qirui to help for a few days for the time being.
When Chen heard this, he was so angry that his face turned green.
The subordinates also talked about it, saying that the third young master was too young to be trusted. The old man is finally going to turn his eyes to the second master, and the sky of this Fang family is about to change.
Chen caught a few maids who spread rumors and beat them severely, and ordered someone to sell them out before he suppressed his voice.
Fang Qiye nested in Chen's Heshoutang every day, eating and drinking, scolding and scolding. The Chen family blindly persuaded him to come to Japan for a long time, the Fang family's industry would be hiss sooner or later, and he should not be in a hurry.
Aunt Shen took this opportunity to come over to greet the Chen family from time to time, and took Fang Qikai to get close to Fang Qiye. It's just that the age difference between the two of them is eight or nine years old, and they can't play together at all, but Fang Qiye often looks at Fang Qikai unpleasantly, teasing him and intimidating him, Aunt Shen is not annoyed, she just looks at it with a smile.
Jin Niangzi took the opportunity to say to Aunt Shen: "The fourth young master is indeed a little worse in terms of knowledge, when the aunt mentioned it to Mrs. before, Mrs. was very dissatisfied and complained to the old slave. Now it seems that it is very necessary to let the fourth young master study. It's just that the old slave thinks that his aunt has always been considerate, and she has always thought about her wife, and she will never have such an unreliable idea, so she persuaded her to ......"
"Yes, if it weren't for the second grandmother mentioning, I, a woman who can't read big words, how could I think of coming here......" Aunt Shen has been with the Chen family for so long, and Jin Niangzi knew what it meant as soon as she said it.
"The second grandmother is now expensive. If you give birth to a son, you are not a few years old with the fourth young master, and the two of them can help each other. Jin Niangzi let out a long sigh and looked at Aunt Shen, her eyes unpredictable.
Aunt Shen has been dealing with the Chen family for many years, and if she still doesn't know what Jin Niangzi meant by coming to tell her, it would be too bad.
Mother Jin laughed, they are uncles and nephews, and they are inferior in seniority. Aunt Shen said: "In terms of helping each other, it must be two brothers, it should be the fourth young master and the third young master." ”
"That being said, the third young master is now sitting on a cold bench. The golden lady sighed: "The second master is in full swing, I heard that the master relies on it very much." If the second grandmother gives birth to a son, it will be the eldest grandson, but I am afraid that both his father and son will become the heart of the master, and when the time comes, even if the fourth young master has the heart to be friends with the third young master, there will be no chance. ”
When Mother Jin said this, she was a little ambitious and destroyed her prestige. Aunt Shen accompanied her smiling face: "In my opinion, the second master has been a fool all these years, and he looks unbearable, just relying on these few days, what great career can he do?
"Moreover, there is a difference between the concubine and the concubine, just by virtue of this one character, the third young master does not know how many times stronger than the second master, this is something that cannot be exchanged for no matter how much ability he has, it is determined by God. Aunt Shen is very optimistic about Fang Qiye: "Mother Jin thinks about it, if it weren't for the old man who recognized him and wanted his son-in-law to inherit the family business, why didn't he let the third young master who was good at writing go to study and take a scientific examination, maybe Tanhualang would come back!"
Aunt Shen smiled and comforted Mrs. Jin: "Since I was born, I haven't heard of any concubines in Yanzhou City who have inherited the family business! But don't people also succeed first, and those who are righteous and obedient become heirs first, and then inherit them. ”
"That being said, the lady is worried. Jin Niangzi simply made her words clear: "Hey, the main second grandmother is not pregnant, and she has caught up with so many things at home." Maybe, it's her child's luck that catches the third young master......"
"......" Aunt Shen saw that the reasons for such nonsense came out, and she couldn't help but secretly say that the Chen family was stimulated and wanted to anger others.
"Madame's meaning, the fourth young master's book is to be read. It's just that now the third young master's affairs always make her upset, and there are some who can't take care of it for a while. When Jin Niangzi said this, she simply said to Aunt Shen: "Either Aunt Wait, if the second grandmother gives birth to a daughter, Madame's heart is relieved, and the fourth young master can go to school." If you are in a hurry, it depends on the life of the second grandmother, and the lady is really troubled, and she has no heart to arrange it for the time being. ”
Aunt Shen was shocked, and then it really became clear that the Chen family did not let the golden lady test her loyalty, but hinted to her that the Chen family did not want the second grandmother's child to be born smoothly.
Chen's selfish thoughts, Aunt Shen really didn't expect.
She has always felt that because she gave birth to two sons and two daughters, the Chen family has a stable position, and she is very tolerant of the rest of the concubines who have children, and she will not tolerate it, so the Fang family has prosperous heirs and a group of children. Master Fang is also very satisfied that she can treat those children equally, tolerant and kind.
When she was shocked, Jin Niangzi said again: "Madame's meaning is to tell Aunt Shen to hurry up, and the fourth young master will be delayed more and more." The old man has been busy lately, so don't bother him. The whole process of the fourth young master is all pinned on the aunt's thoughts. ”
After speaking, she didn't wait for Aunt Shen to say anything, she turned around and went into the house to wait.
Aunt Shen stood in the courtyard in a daze, watching that since Fang Qikai entered the Heshou Hall, he was no longer lively and stubborn in his yard, but was afraid everywhere and did not dare to act rashly. At the moment, he only shrank in the corner, squatting on the ground to watch the ants. Next to his face was Fang Qiye's feet with Erlang's legs.
Fang Qiye on the side was eating snacks comfortably, drinking tea and basking in the sun, and didn't care about this younger brother. His trembling feet almost stepped on Fang Qikai's face several times.
The dangling feet, wearing inky black boots, were like a huge shadow, dangling on Fang Qikai's face and shrouding Aunt Shen's heart.
Aunt Shen was a little helpless and depressed.
She is not attached to the Chen family, Fang Qikai has no chance to get ahead, she is attached to the Chen family, the Chen family is a ruthless character, and she refuses to let her be exposed in vain.
How's that good?"
When Fang Qirui came back in the evening, he was startled by He Jiaxian: "Why did you come back at such a time? Isn't it uncomfortable?" After Fang Qirui went to the store to help, he didn't come back until the second half of the night every day.
Fang Qirui smiled tiredly: "I have a business, I have to go out for two days, and the old man asked me to come back and rest first." ”
"What business?" He Jiaxian became more and more surprised, Fang Qirui has always wanted to do business, and now that he has the opportunity, he will take it seriously.
"But it doesn't matter, it's only two days, just go and go back. He Jiaxian comforted him again: "It shows that the old man trusts you." ”
"Hmm. Fang Qirui smiled and pinched her face: "I originally wanted to push it away, I can accompany you at home, but you eat and sleep all day long, where do you need me to accompany you?" ”
He Jiaxian smiled embarrassedly, Fang Qirui held her hand and said, "I will tell you some things seriously, you have to remember!"
He Jiaxian saw that his righteous words were unprecedentedly serious, and he hurriedly said: "Okay!"
"You've been in a mess since you married into our family. It seems to me that you are more than smart and not wise. The so-called cleverness is to be able to see clearly their ill-intentioned and inadequate, and to see clearly but not know what to do. Fang Qirui said earnestly: "Before, I could protect you." But in the future, when I have something to go out, you have to take care of our children!
"Hmm. Since I brought him into this world, I will definitely be able to protect him. He Jiaxian nodded solemnly.
"Then how do you protect him?" Fang Qirui smiled, a little contemptuous.
He Jiaxian really couldn't raise his head in his contemptuous eyes. yes, how to protect? She never seemed to think about it. What kind of danger will the child encounter? Is it like Wen Tao poisoned her in the first place, and someone else poisons her? Or do you want Chen to embarrass her, and after he is born, they are deliberately embarrassing him?
He Jiaxian really didn't understand it, and he couldn't think of it, so he looked at him expectantly with a pair of bright eyes.
Fang Qirui sighed helplessly: "Perhaps, it was really not a wise thing for me to insist on marrying you at the beginning." It's good to drag you into this whirlpool. ”
He Jiaxian was stunned for a moment, and insisted on marrying her? What kind of stalk is this?
Before he could ask, Fang Qirui had already changed his voice: "In the past few days, I have been doing business with my master, and I have really figured out how big the Fang family's industry is!"
"En?" He Jiaxian became more and more puzzled: "I didn't marry you for the silver, I'm not interested in the other party's property!" She was anxious to clear up, not wanting Fang Qirui to think that she was a person who wanted to climb high.
"I'm interested!" Fang Qirui replied coldly: "I changed my mind." ”
As soon as he said this, He Jiaxian was startled, and he couldn't come back to his senses. If she remembers correctly, what Fang Qirui told her at the beginning was "Aunt Mei doesn't want to cause trouble, she just wants to wait quietly for Master Fang to get a little net worth after a hundred years, and the family will live a good life." She believed it at the time, and she looked forward to it.
But now, he said that he was interested in the other party's property and said that he had changed his mind?
"Yes, I think one day, I will take over the Fang family's business. Fang Qirui saw the disbelief in He Jiaxian's eyes, and said categorically: "This time, the master let me dip my hands, and I realized that the fun is far more than the pleasure of making a little money when I sell cheap spring clothes in winter." ”
"Of course, I won't use illegal means to take it. If the lord is willing to give me a part, I will take care of it. Fang Qirui said with a straight face: "Aunt thought the same thing at that time, and the master will not treat me badly." ”
"But now, the third brother is not like that, the eldest brother is sick, and the fourth brother is too young. If I really watched the Fang family's huge business empire collapse in their hands, I would definitely not want to. Fang Qirui was very worried: "Of course, all this is still my wishful thinking, after all, there is a difference between the concubines, if the master really would rather let them be destroyed in the hands of the third brother than let me run it, then I have nothing to say." However, from now on, I will no longer hide my clumsiness, nor will I continue to live in obscurity!"
He Jiaxian couldn't help but be infected by Fang Qirui's firm tone, and after thinking about it, he said: "Then are you going to show your strength now......?
"With your virtuous help, it's not surprising that I have progressed!" Fang Qirui smiled, but he groaned seriously, and after thinking about it for a while, he still told He Jiaxian the truth: "Since you have this kind of thought, naturally you can't be sharp at the beginning, just concentrate on doing your own thing." ”
He Jiaxian was puzzled, and Fang Qirui sighed: "It seems that if you really want to become a good wife in this deep mansion compound, you still have a long way to go." ”
"I rely on the minister. He Jiaxian snuggled into his arms: "I fully support you." ”
"You protect yourself and our children, which is the greatest support for me. Fang Qirui kissed her lips, this hair was out of control, thinking that she had been holding it for too long.
He Jiaxian sensed his intentions and hurriedly pushed it away: "Don't ......"
Fang Qirui stopped boringly, He Jiaxian looked at his dejected appearance, his heart moved, and said with a wry smile: "Why don't I really be a good wife?"
Fang Qirui looked at her suspiciously: "Shouldn't you change your temperament and help me take a concubine?"
"Haha, what you think is beautiful!" This is the bottom line, He Jiaxian would rather go to the court by himself than serve a husband with others, this matter, when she first found out that she was pregnant, she told Fang Qirui, and Fang Qirui naturally nodded at that time: "If you say yes, you are not allowed to change the hexagram, and the eldest husband will be difficult to chase after him." ”
She stretched out her slender hand, pushed Fang Qirui's chest, and slowly leaned on top of him to untie his belt. Fang Qirui had already realized what she was going to do, and hurriedly supported her: "I won't suffocate to death, don't press the child!"
