"You don't have to think about those twists and turns, it is impossible for your father to re-enter the government in this life, as long as I still have a breath of life, I will not let the descendants of the He family be officials. Old Madam He's tone was sonorous: "Changbai is evergreen too." ”

However, Aunt Mei wants the second master to go to the scientific examination to be an official. He Jiaxian hesitated for a moment, and said the dilemma in his heart: "The second master likes to do business. ”

"A good man has ambitions in all directions, and he can do anything. Mrs. He stopped talking, looked at He Jiaxian with a worried face, and suddenly said: "Aunt Mei is selfish and wants to find an opportunity to rehabilitate the Mei family." But the Mei family can't be rehabilitated, there is no evidence burned back then, not even a case file, it can't be said clearly, it is already a dusty and confused case, and the matter of the first emperor will not be taken care of today. Aunt Mei is just arrogant, she is of noble birth and has a prominent family background. Once reduced to a prisoner, he has been haunted by it for many years, so he is unwilling. The second child of the Fang family is a good seedling, don't get involved in this troubled water. ”

"No matter how unwilling Aunt Mei is, there is no way. According to your grandfather, it is indeed true that the Mei family committed something back then, but no one can tell them in the middle. The Mei family itself understands, so they have never shouted wronged. It's just that Aunt Mei is young and ignorant, and no one tells her. The last time she came, I advised her, but she didn't listen. ”

Mrs. He was very worried: "She is so obsessed, I'm afraid she will affect you and the second child." Hey, forget it. I've said it all, and it's her creation that she can hear. ”

Everyone has their own thoughts, and He Jiaxian doesn't know how to persuade or say it. For Mrs. He, her husband's suffering in officialdom has caused her deep-rooted official thoughts, which can not be changed overnight.

For Aunt Mei, it is easy to go from thrift to luxury, and it is difficult to go from luxury to thrift. When she was a child, she was the granddaughter of a high-powered Mei Ge Lao, and she was used to being respected, used to being high, and she was robbed of all this in a daze, and she was naturally unwilling before she figured out the reason.

He Jiaxian got up, and Mrs. He's explanation made her feel that there was another good reason to persuade Fang Qirui.

But I don't need it.

Fang Qirui began to work hard in the study.

He Jiaxian originally thought that he still had a trace of hesitation in his heart, but he didn't expect to finally surrender to the word "filial piety". Speaking of which, Fang Qirui is the person she can resist the most in feudal society, but she still can't change the dogma in her bones.

Maybe those who are unruly, those who are free and easy, and those who are deviant are just the training ground for the first half of their lives. He has read so many books of sages and made such articles that cater to those in power, how can he think that "all men are created equal" is a serious truth?

He Jiaxian thought about it, but he couldn't blame him. Whatever path he chooses, then she will accept whatever kind of result she accepts.

In fact, she didn't hate Fang Qirui for reading, but hated Aunt Mei's manipulation of him, and he also forced himself to do things he didn't like to do, and he accepted this control willingly.

That's the saddest part.

He Jiaxian couldn't help but feel sorry for Fang Qirui. At the same time, I also feel sorry for those who obviously have their own ideas in the world, but because of the "word filial piety", they have to go against their wishes and go against their backs.

After Chen was beaten by Master Fang in public, he didn't like to go out very much, and the kitchen in the house was quite orderly out of Zhou's pipe, and many things were already in a mess.

Master Fang couldn't get it right, so he ordered Aunt Shen to take care of part of it, and Aunt Mei to take care of part of it.

Aunt Shen was in charge of the ushering in the inner house.

Aunt Mei is in charge of her servants.

There are idle errands such as issuing monthly orders, but the power related to the silver is still in the hands of the Chen family.

Aunt Lin was pregnant and had a leisurely life, but she liked to come to He Jiaxian to sit here and see how cute Xiao Ran was.

I sat for a long time on this day, and after I went back, a big event happened - her attendant girl Cai Fang actually took advantage of her absence to invite her concubine to mess around in the room during the day, and was caught by Mother Song, who came to deliver tea.

Cai Fang naturally shouted wronged: "The slave was drugged, and when I woke up, this man slept in my bed......"

Aunt Mei presided over the trial of this case, naturally she was ruthless, so embarrassing that even the reputation of the Fang family would be affected: "So, you don't know him, but he has already confessed, he knows you." ”

As soon as Aunt Mei heard the report and took it on the spot, she immediately brought someone over and interrogated the men and women separately.

Sure enough, when Cai Fang heard that the man had confessed, she was drenched in cold sweat, and she felt desperate, and couldn't stop saying, "The slave and maid were framed." ”

"It's Aunt Lin, it must be her, she's not happy that the slave always looks at her and takes care of her......," Cai Fang shouted.

"So, you deserve to be guilty of one more degree. You are a subordinate, and you don't allow your aunt to be dissatisfied if you take care of your aunt?" Aunt Mei accurately grasped the information.

Cai Fang lifted a stone and hit her own foot, even more angry, but she didn't dare to say anything, for fear of saying too much and making too many mistakes.

"The master is not here, the lady doesn't care, Aunt Lin is pregnant, don't scare her, I'll take care of this matter. Aunt Mei asked Caifang with a smile: "Do you just say it here, or wait until you are sent to the yamen of the state capital to be punished." ”

He ...... Did he really say it all?" Cai Fang asked in a shudder.

"Naturally, when was the first time, how did you meet, and also, you instigated Aunt Lin to steal the master's small account book......" Aunt Mei stretched out her voice, and Cai Fang collapsed in her careless heart.

"How can he say anything, this bad heart...... Cai Fang roared and cried: "The slave and maid are wronged, the slave and the maid do have an affair with her, but it is true that the slave and the maid asked him to come today." Where do you have the courage to be a slave in broad daylight! Aunt Mei, the slave and maid are wronged......"

Since she has admitted that she has a personal relationship with that person, she naturally can't talk about anything wronged or wronged.

Aunt Mei smiled, put a gag order on all the people involved, and detained Cai Fang and the man in a secret place, Master Fang came back and whispered.

I don't know how to deal with it, Cai Fang can no longer be seen in the entire Fang Mansion, and no one mentions this matter. Cai Fang disappeared as if she had disappeared unconsciously.

Chen was furious when she learned about this - she didn't expect Aunt Mei's power to be so big, so big that she didn't reveal anything about it when she dealt with a matter.

But she couldn't help it when she was angry, when she mentioned this matter in front of Master Fang, Master Fang raised his eyebrows and said "oh": "Is there such a thing?"

Chen was defeated and became more and more unwilling.

She wants to take all the power back. But Master Fang didn't speak, she couldn't help it.

Her majesty was all defeated after she couldn't help but slap He Jiaxian that time.

What the people said about her, she didn't want to listen to it anymore.

He Jiaxian gave Master Fang, Fang Qirui devoted herself to studying, she had to accompany her, and she really didn't have time to go to the province in the morning and dusk.

Master Fang agreed-mother-in-law beat her daughter-in-law like that, and it is not easy to make a harmonious appearance of mother-in-law and daughter-in-law in front of people, and then force her to smile and greet people, wouldn't that stretch her right cheek again?

He Jiaxian's temperament, he knows, is a person with strong personality and self-esteem.

Master Fang is not the kind of parent who is stubborn and pedantic and dogmatic. On the contrary, because of the ups and downs in the business field all the year round, he knows better than anyone what it means to be sleek and flexible, and what it means to put himself in the shoes of others.

More importantly, Fang Qirui's willingness to read is more important than anything else.

Jin Niangzi found that all the people she arranged were gradually replaced, and she was anxious.

Chen is also anxious.

called Zhou over, Zhou only excused her from having a big belly and inconvenient to move, so she sat down in a hurry, and didn't want to say more, but said: "This is my father's arrangement, and now I can't protect myself." ”

She is hypocritical when she says this. According to reliable information from Chen's inquiry, Zhou covered the sky with only one hand in the kitchen.

After the power is divided, no one can restrain anyone.

couldn't stand Huang Quan's begging, Fang Qirui took the time to go to the capital and picked up He Jiahui back.

He Runian was depressed, and he lived by drinking alcohol all day long, Xu couldn't persuade him, Chunjiao couldn't say it, and the He family was impetuous, trembling.

The Chen family heard that Fang Qirui was going to the capital, so he asked him to bring something to Fang Yulu.

Fang Yulu has been waiting to be elected since she went to the election, living in the palace, following the rules, advancing and retreating decently, low-key and humble, but there has been no turmoil.

It's just that Fang Yuzhu cured the rash on the road, but he didn't come back, but went to the capital to relax, Chen had been worried in his heart, and asked Fang Qirui to inquire by the way.

Although there are some suspicions, but in the end, Fang Yulu has not offended, and Fang Qirui is also doing his best, only saying that he sleeps in the palace at night, and enters the palace during the day to train etiquette and living with other selected women, which is a little tired, but he can bear it.

Chen was relieved when he heard this, and asked Fang Yuzhu's whereabouts again. Fang Qirui didn't know.

He Jiahui did not return to the He family after being quietly picked up, and when she was sent away, He Runian had already said all over the city that she was removed from the He family.

The Xu family concealed He Runian's decision and promised her to Huang Que, and the two of them got married in that thatched hut and lived in the suburbs of Yanzhou. Only Fang Qirui and He Jiaxian watched the ceremony.

Chunjiao was close to He Runian, and He Runian sneered: "She is no longer from the He family, what does life and death have to do with me?"

Chunjiao was so angry that she had to pout.

After waiting for about half a month, he had a will, saying that he had already pointed out that he had given Yunzhou Taishou Pan Dong as a continuation. The Chen family was naturally so happy that they couldn't keep their mouths shut, but there was no shouting from Yanzhou City. The whole house was arranged up and down to welcome Mrs. Taishou.

When Master Fang learned about this, he was not as happy as Chen.

After Fang Yulu entered Beijing that day, Chen informed him that Fang Yuzhu was sick on the road and delayed the trip, and in a hurry, she could only let Fang Yulu be selected instead of Fang Yuzhu, but she didn't dare to bully the king, so she asked the Lord of the Prefecture to hurry up a fold, saying that Fang Yuzhu had a secret affair of withdrawing from marriage, and he didn't notice it for a while, for fear of affecting the reputation of the Heavenly Family, so he temporarily made up for Fang Yulu, the niece of the adults above.

In the hands of Fang Yuyan, he entrusted someone to delete all the remarks such as Fang Yuzhu, and what was presented on the desk of the Ministry of Rites was Fang Yulu, the niece of Lord Fang.

Everything is logical, and no one can fault it.

"Gyokuro was given such an in-law, and I was naturally happy. Old Man Fang said this, but his face was very worried: "In this way, how to explain to Yuzhu, if she is not as good as Yulu in the future, how should I face the second brother? He is far away in the northwest, but I can't take care of his wife and children......

Chen's originally beaming face was cold because of Master Fang's mention of the second room, and she saw that the worry on Master Fang's face was not pretending, but really worried, so she drooped her face: "Master does you think that our Yulu is not worthy of such a good marriage?"

"This is the reason. Our merchant would not have the qualifications to give marriage, if it weren't for borrowing the name of the second brother...... The Ministry of Rites can get away with it if it is not investigated, but if it is really investigated...... It's also a big risk......" Old Man Fang pondered.

"I see that you just feel sorry for the second room, and I don't know if you feel sorry for your daughter......" Chen was distracted by his worries, and got up and pushed him out: "In this case, you can go over and appease her second aunt...... Maybe her second aunt won't have any worries when she sees you coming......"

"You...... What nonsense are you talking about!" Old Master Fang raised his hand angrily when he heard her say such nonsense, and put it down after a while: "Disrespect for the old man!"

After Chen finished speaking, he also realized that he had overspoken, and he wanted to take it back but it was too late, and he found that Master Fang wanted to hit himself again, so he handed his face up: "You beat, you beat it just to give her second aunt anger...... There's a good reason to coax her......"

"Unreasonable!" Old Man Fang glared at Chen angrily: "Do you still have the appearance of being a housewife!"

"Am I still the head of the Fang family?" Chen beat his chest when he heard this: "You have called out the housekeeper one by two, and now the family is scattered, each doing its own thing, and no one takes my words seriously......

"That's your own sin, unreasonably slapping your daughter-in-law, and in front of your subordinates, you haven't realized that you're wrong!" Master Fang was also angry.

"What is wrong with me? As a mother-in-law, teaching my daughter-in-law, where is wrong?" Chen roared: "You are protecting one by two, you don't know when I don't know?" You yourself lack of knowledge, marry a learned person who enters the door, and worship it like an ancestor, I am not like you, there is no distinction between respect and inferiority, mother-in-law is mother-in-law, daughter-in-law is daughter-in-law, she is the princess of the heavenly family, and when she enters the door of my family, she should also abide by the rules of my family......

"Really?" Master Fang laughed angrily: "The third child hasn't decided to marry yet, you still have a chance to get a princess back!"

After saying that, he didn't pay attention to her exhaustion, and walked away with his hands behind his back.

It was only when I got out of the door of Heshoutang that I calmed down, and I was a little nervous when I thought of what Chen said about "a plate of loose sand".

Walking into the garden, I found that the flowers and plants in a garden were particularly lush, and several people were only wearing thin jackets, and the tips of their noses were sweating beads, this one was responsible for moving, and the other was responsible for pruning, in an orderly manner.

Finding that Master Fang was coming, several subordinates hurriedly saluted, and one of the stewards said: "Aunt Mei said that in autumn, the flowers are withering, the leaves are falling, and the garden is bare and not good-looking. When spring arrives, the trees sprout, and then they go to serve the flowers. ”
