He Jiaxian didn't dare to look at the coffin, so he only asked a mother-in-law to clean her up, changed into bright clothes, bought a good coffin, and mourned secretly.

If you let others know that the secret auspicious path poisoned Master Fang, you will definitely have to make trouble with her unrelentingly, and you can't hate to break the auspicious bones and ashes to relieve your hatred.

After dealing with the auspicious aftermath, He Jiaxian fell seriously ill and did not get better until the end of the year.

In the middle of this, I actually heard that the third master, who has never learned and has no skills, also donated an official, I don't know where the money came from, where to go, but quietly fell from the county order of the sixth grade, and went to take office. In this way, the third room was separated from the public middle school, and like the second room, it was independent.

The Fang family also produced two officials at once, but they gradually became famous in Yanzhou City, and got rid of the name of the lowly businessman.

After getting rid of most of the shops, only antique shops, money houses and the like were left, Fang Qirui was able to relax a little, although he was not as busy as before, but he didn't have time to read.

Aunt Mei didn't seem to care about what Lu Yan was forced to ask by He Jiaxian that day, but built a new lotus incense courtyard from the northwest corner, so that the gentleman who used to teach Fang Qiye taught six-year-old Han Ge'er, three-year-old Ran Ran, and two-year-old Fang Baoqian and Fang Qiyun to enlighten.

Fang Baokun was still led by He Jiaxian.

In the construction of the Lotus Fragrance Courtyard, Aunt Mei built a new courtyard for herself, with a small bridge and flowing water, a winding corridor, exquisite and elegant, called Mei Xiaoguan.

Except for the Chen family, who scolded and scolded in Heshoutang, and the Zhou family stayed at home, the rest of the people were very satisfied with Aunt Mei's new arrangement.

Everyone has their own futures, raising their own sons, and they can no longer care about intrigue.

Now that Master Fang is also dead, there is no need to compete for favor or anything.

This year's New Year's Festival was presided over by Aunt Mei.

She wrote that the second and third rooms of the religious faith, as well as the fourth and fifth rooms in Yanzhou City, were all present.

Except for Second Master Fang, who didn't give this face, the rest of the people all attended on time.

At the table, Aunt Mei sat at the front, and the third lady, the fourth lady and the fifth lady were the lower heads.

As for Chen's failure to attend, except for Aunt Mei's explanation that she was not in good health, the rest of the people did not ask.

Fang Qirui accompanied several uncles to sit on the main seat outside and drink.

I only heard the fifth lady say with a smile: "Qile is also sixteen years old, and he can't study, so he just hopes to marry a daughter-in-law so that he can be motivated. ”

Aunt Mei said with a smile: "Speaking of which, although I am in charge of the Fang family's housework, in the final analysis, I am just handling some silver, arranging everyone's food, clothing, housing and transportation, and I can't interfere in things like marriage." The name is not right. ”

The fifth lady was stunned. She knew that what Aunt Mei said was right, she was a concubine, even if she covered the sky with one hand in the Fang family, she couldn't raise her head when she went to someone else's house, and she wouldn't even let her go to the main seat.

But if they hire a daughter-in-law in the name of their family, they are afraid that they will be looked down upon again. Seeing that she couldn't take advantage of the shade by leaning on the big tree of the Fang family, the fifth lady was really unwilling.

She had a flash of inspiration and said with a smile: "What's so difficult about this, as long as the second master works hard and earns a life for you to come back, it will be easy." ”

After finishing speaking, he slapped his mouth again, secretly hating himself for not knowing current affairs.

Sure enough, Aunt Mei glanced at her and didn't speak, but her eyes were like knives, and she was like pins and needles.

On the way home, the fourth lady persuaded the fifth lady: "You are really confused, now that the one is still alive, you dare to mention this stubble." ”

"She didn't come out for a long time, and she didn't even show up for the New Year, and I forgot about her in a hurry. The fifth lady also consciously lost her words, and said angrily: "I'm afraid that Aunt Mei also thinks so, so she doesn't urge the second master to go to school like she did in the previous two years." I'm afraid that in the end, if something really good happens, it will all fall on my mother-in-law, and her aunt won't be able to touch any light. Make wedding clothes for others in vain. In addition, there are so many industries in the Fang family, no matter who gets involved, I am afraid that I don't want to give up, presumably the second master will not take the imperial examination again. ”

The fourth lady also thinks the same, but it's not something they have to worry about, so that's it.

The fifth lady said hatefully: "I can't think about what she is doing, and she wants to occupy the shop, and she wants the children to go on a career path." ”

The fourth lady said: "No matter what, this is a good thing. Anyway, if our children can really go to high school and stand on their own without leaving the public middle school, it will be better than looking at people like this. In the final analysis, at this point, the family is still very willing to think about the overall situation of the Fang family. ”

The fifth lady shook her head in disagreement: "That's your family studying with Mr. He, so you said that." The guy in our family just wants to have fun, and it's unlikely that anything will happen. ”

As he was talking, he saw the third lady go and return, holding a box in her arms, and pass through the alley, but there was no one behind her.

Seeing that the fourth lady didn't notice the third lady, the fifth lady shirked and said, "I won't tell you if I have something to do here, you go back first." ”

After speaking, he walked quickly to the alley, and the mother-in-law and maid behind him hurriedly followed.

After passing through the alley, it was the corner door of Fangfu Mei Restaurant, and when the fifth lady followed, the third lady happened to dodge in, and then the corner door was closed.

The fifth lady gently pushed it open, and ordered her mother-in-law to guard at the door, and when she saw that the courtyard was empty, she secretly said that God will help me, and went up the steps to listen to the corner.

I heard Aunt Mei's voice inside, lazy: "Don't talk about the fifth brother and sister like that, just think about it, I know that I didn't give it to the fifth child, but to the third child of your family, and you also know who I value more." ”

The fifth lady speculated that it was probably the third lady who was saying bad things about her, and Aunt Mei agreed with the bad words, held back her anger, and listened to it again.

The third lady said, "Yes." So thank you so much to the family. This is the master specially ordered me to bring it to you, South China Sea pearls, a total of eight, all of them are fine...... It's good to grind the flour and eat it, or to wear it on a skewer......"

"Okay, it's just a few beads, and I teach you that there is nothing in the sky and no in the earth. When I used to be in the old mansion, I didn't throw thumb-sized beads on the ground for a while...... "Aunt Mei was still lazy, and her painting style changed: "But you want to give back to me, this is your good character." ”

The third lady hurriedly echoed: "I know that you are not rare, but they are just gadgets, just to pass the time......"

Aunt Mei said again: "I really don't have the heart to play these things, you also heard what the fifth brother and sister said today, it's really heartbreaking, I'm very ...... making trouble at this time."

The third lady didn't know how to answer.

Aunt Mei continued: "The third brother is only thirty-five now, he is young, and his future is promising, if he can rise one more liter, it is a very good ......" and asked Lu Yin to press her temples: "Okay, you go back, when my head doesn't hurt, I will think about the third brother." ”

Where else did the third lady not understand, her heart was ruthless, and she gritted her teeth and said: "If my sister thinks of a way, she will make the family have no headache." ”

Aunt Mei didn't seem to hear it, and said to Lu Yin: "Go here, the strength is a little bigger, but you have to hold on to the time, and you have a headache to death......"

The third lady nodded heavily, and wanted to withdraw.

The fifth lady continued to speak up and down, only felt so angry that she ran out of the corner gate first, and hid in a remote corner, and waited until she saw the back of the third lady passing, then she came out and spit heavily on the ground: "I'm sorry, I think it's good luck for the third child, he also has a talent identity, but he has not been reused, and the secret way is that the court is short of people, and finally it is his turn, but it turned out to be an official position bought by whiskers and horses......"

The mother-in-law on the side was shocked when she heard this, and hurriedly reminded: "The fifth lady can't talk nonsense. ”

The fifth lady also realized that this was next to Mei Xiaoguan, and the Fang family was full of Aunt Mei's eyes and ears, so she was afraid of being caught, so she ran back to hide from the plague and told the fifth master about it.

The fifth master was also very angry when he heard this, and slapped the table and said, "She is so favoritous, and she doesn't look at how she came to be a family member." The third child is not offended by anyone, and when he sees people saying good things all day long, it is no wonder that he will look at him and carry him. ”

The fifth lady said angrily: "We are not rare, how long can you be a bought official? Master, you are a straightforward person, and you are not used to flattering people...... We have our own integrity......"

The fifth master didn't speak, went into the house room and rummaged around, and asked the fifth lady halfway: "I remember that there is a jade cabbage in your dowry, which was originally a treasure of the box, and where is it now?"

The fifth lady was stunned for a moment, and also reacted, but she was a little hesitant: "Over the years, a lot of household subsidies have been subsidized, and that is the last bit of foundation." ”

"When we get the green mountains, there will be more firewood. The fifth old man persuaded.

The fifth lady thought about the third lady's approach, took it out with a grit of her heart, and persuaded again: "Since you want to use it, you have to use it on ideas, I heard the third sister say that the third brother will be promoted." We can't wait for him to ascend. I'm afraid that Aunt Mei's previous connections are so little, if they are all exhausted for their family, it will be our turn, but I am afraid that there will be no chance. But if you send it today, it's a bit of a hurry. ”

When the fifth master heard this, he asked, "Then what do you say?"

The fifth lady thought for a while, calculated the time, and said: "It's better to say which girl we fell in love with, but the girl's family dislikes the low lintel of our house, so I said that if you have an official and a half-job......"

The two of them put it together, and they both felt good.

endured and endured, endured until the fifteenth day of the first month, Aunt Mei heard it and said with a smile: "Where is it so easy." ”

"Why is it so easy for the third brother. The fifth lady put the jade cabbage on the table and specially called someone out, leaving only her and Aunt Mei: "Although it is said that it is common to buy and sell officials now, I am afraid that it will be checked by the above." ”

She wanted to threaten Aunt Mei with this.

Aunt Mei smiled and said, "You also know that this is a crime, and the third brother must not dare to know the law and break the law." If you have real evidence, just go and sue me, and I will testify with you when the time comes. ”

The fifth lady was stunned, but she didn't expect Aunt Mei to accept her bribes at all, and she was not afraid of her threats.

For a while, the donkey skills were poor, so he had to endure his anger and say good things: "I'm just talking angry, it's all a family, one is prosperous and the other is lost, but the girl's family dislikes your nephew......"

I was afraid that my eyes would turn red, and I didn't see Aunt Mei's indifferent expression change a little, and she didn't even speak the same words as her.

The fifth lady felt ashamed, so she had to go out with the jade cabbage in her arms.

Lu Yin came in and listened to Aunt Mei sigh: "Everyone dares to lean on me......"

"That's because they don't know the current affairs and can't see clearly. Lu Yan has followed Aunt Mei for so many years, and she understands her mind the most, and smiled and comforted: "You have always said that the fifth lady and the fifth old man have a small belly and chicken intestines, and it is difficult to do things. This is the choice of the relatively decisive three masters, now look at their style of acting, it shows that you can see people more accurately. ”

Aunt Mei was a little proud and stopped sighing.

Lu Yin smiled again: "Today I got a piece of news, which proves more and more that your choice is correct." ”

Aunt Mei raised her eyebrows and listened to Lu Yan say: "Madam is sick, and she can't get up early in the morning. The third lady moved quickly, and the lady was defenseless against her. ”

Aunt Mei smiled and said, "You go and ask Madame for a doctor." ”

Lu Yan was in a hurry, and after a while, he realized again. Since the third lady is determined to get rid of the Chen family for Aunt Mei, it is naturally not a good thing for ordinary doctors to see.

Sure enough, the doctor only said that Chen was infected with wind and cold, and it would be good to take medicine and rest for a few days, but unexpectedly, after the first month, Chen was getting sicker and sicker day by day, and he couldn't even get out of bed.

In the middle, He Jiaxian visited a few times, and found that Chen's food, clothing, housing and transportation were still according to the rules of his wife, except for the fewer girls served, only peony and another, but the ginseng bird's nest on the table was not missing.

From this point of view, Aunt Mei's mind is vicious, but she never falls into the hands of others in these big faces.

In February, Chen finally went, after eating a lot of ginseng and expensive life-sustaining pills.

The third lady sat in front of Aunt Mei with a smile, and another arm-thick ginseng was placed in the brocade box cushioned with red cloth: "Although the lord is still a county order, he has moved to a rich land, thanks to the family's efforts." ”

"It's all a family, what kind words to say. Aunt Mei smiled kindly as always.

"It's a pity that the master went early and couldn't straighten you out. Now I have wronged you. The third lady slapped her ass again.

This is also Aunt Mei's shadow, and being unjustified is her biggest heart disease.

Although the Chen family went, Fang Qirui only had her biological mother. But if it is really sealed, then if there is no mother-in-law, it will not be sealed, what should it be?

If she really wants to re-seal the shame of the fate, then she has to make a special contribution.

I also feel that I think far, and it will be so easy for the champion to pass the palace test. The third master is easy to get from the county order of the sixth grade, and it is not easy to get the emperor's blue eyes into the feet of the Son of Heaven.

After sending the third lady, Aunt Mei lay on the beauty couch and said to Lu Yin: "What did the third aunt and grandmother say?"
