229. Brothers are united

Fang Qirui smiled: "Even if God is unfair, I am relieved now." When I can stand on my own feet, it will be clear. ”

Fang Qizong nodded and smiled: "When my father was here, everyone was not in unison, and it was all in the nest. Now that he's gone, not to mention you, even the third child has grown a little. In case I have three long and two short, I won't be as worried as before when I go......"

Fang Qirui was busy "baba

Fang Qizong motioned for Fang Qirui to help him up, and took out a piece of paper: "I know that you have a Fang family in your heart, although your mother is on guard against you everywhere, but you are dedicated to us." It's just that I can't stand your sister-in-law saying that whoever sees so much silver will be moved, and the godbrother is too young. If I had doubted you before, for the sake of Baoqian's future, it was my little family who had a small stomach and chicken intestines. Second brother, don't be weird with me. My illness dragged on day by day, and I was afraid that one day I would die, leaving her orphans and widows to rely on! ”

"But your high style and bright festival really make me ashamed." Fang Qizong pointed to the document and said, "Now that the Fang family can produce many people, I can rest assured that there is still only one you." If I am gone, Baoqian's family business will still be under your control. Whether you save it or run it yourself, it's up to you. I have already written it clear above, the assets counted are 21 stores, 15 granges, 150,000 taels of silver, and one house of the Fang family. The rest of the property goes to your expense. What do you see? If you run the business, all the subsequent profits will belong to you. Fang Qizong took out the seal clay on the head of the bed: "If you agree, just press a handprint." ”

This is seeing that Fang Qirui plans to go far away, and wants Ding is Ding Mao or Mao to make it clear, saving Fang Qirui from taking on the responsibility of supporting the Fang family again, but he ended up working for Fang Bao for nothing.

"I know my eldest brother is keeping me, but I've made up my mind." Fang Qirui had already thought clearly when he handed over all the shops, since the ancestral training of the Fang family was here, the identity of the concubine would not be on the table for the rest of his life, so it was better to cut through the chaos with a quick knife, and everyone would be safe.

"This document, let's sign it for the third brother, he is the uncle of the in-laws, and now he has a lot of restraint, and there is still a lot to be done in the future......" Fang Qirui is determined to clean himself up: "I'm not at home, I still hope that the eldest brother will take care of Jiaxian's mother and son, she has a straight personality, and she doesn't understand the twists and turns in the door of the mansion...... Sometimes offended people don't know it. ”

Fang Qizong saw that he was resolute in his words, leaving no room at all, so he couldn't force it, so he could only sigh: "It's because I want to fork in, it's too late to say it at the moment." If it had been like this from the beginning, it would not have been so suspicious of each other and confusing their hearts and friendships......"

Fang Qirui did not agree, only said a few words politely and left, and Fang Qizong resolutely took a thousand taels of silver tickets for him to wrap up.

The caravan set out in early summer, spent two months on the road, four months back and forth, two months in the northwest, and then returned, just in time for the winter and the end of the year, when the best items were to be sold.

The two of them parted with each other, and Fang Qirui seemed to be never satisfied, and she was still not happy after eating her dry.

He Jiaxian persuaded: "I have to hurry tomorrow to save my legs." ”

Fang Qirui still held her abundance in his hand, and muttered: "Half a year has passed, I'm afraid I miss you." ”

Since He Jiaxian gave birth to a plump child, if Fang Qirui did not keep the filial piety period, he was even more obsessed with her than when he was newly married before, and he was obsessed.

The next morning, I hugged the two children and kissed them, but I was reluctant, and I told them again and again, and then I turned around and left.

The days of Tinglan Temple are still going on as usual.

Mama Cui will not relax her discipline because Ran Ran is temporarily without her father at home, and she is still very strict.

Fortunately, she is sensible, tired and silent, but she is more tenacious than ten-year-old Fang Yuying.

On this day, Mama Cui taught the rules, and then said: "This rule is very useful, let me learn it well, this is the rule of meeting my mother-in-law after getting married." "Including saluting, serving tea, speaking, observing words and colors, and so on.

Fang Yuying said: "It's too early to get married, this is ......"

Before the words fell, Mama Cui shouted angrily: "The girl's family, marrying is also something you can say?" Reach out. ”

Fang Yuying's face turned purple, and she subconsciously put her hands behind her back, she has suffered the most boards these days.

Mama Cui has strict rules, she is very strict with every word, and if she doesn't pay attention, she will be beaten.

Ran Ran is young, has little learning, and spends most of her time with her two sisters, and Mama Cui is not serious with her.

But it is much stricter with the two young ladies who have not yet come out of the cabinet.

Zhou and He Jiaxian began to persuade a few words, but after Mama Cui beat them mercilessly, they didn't dare to persuade them again.

When Fang Yuying saw Mama Cui approaching, she was so anxious that tears came out, but she didn't dare to cry.

I heard Ran Ran said crisply in the back: "My mother taught me to read, saying that I can change my mistakes, and I am very good." Cui Mama, if the eighth sister can stop saying something wrong without being beaten by the board, can you stop beating her? ”

Fang Yuying nodded hurriedly when she heard this: "Mama, I spoke too fast, I won't dare to do it in the future." ”

Mama Cui glanced back at Ran Ran, walked back to her seat and sat down, rubbing her eyebrows: "It's noon, the sun is poisonous, you go back and rest, and come back in the evening." ”

I don't say whether Ran Ran is right or not, and I don't say whether I can beat Fang Yuying.

The group went back with their own thoughts, and Zhou muttered to He Jiaxian on the road: "I said that this Cui Mama is amazing, but I still don't believe it." Now looking at the gestures and manners of the two young ladies, they are really similar to the young ladies. ”

Although He Jiaxian disdained this, he had to admit it.

What is disdainful is that all kinds of rules and regulations still constrain women, but not men.

admits that Fang Yucui and Fang Yuying have been taught by Mama Cui, dressed generously and elegantly, walked weakly, spoke softly, and were shy and timid when they made a slight joke, which was very endearing.

Before, Fang Qirui still had letters from time to time, but later he went farther, and the letters became less and less, from ten days to half a month, to a month, He Jiaxian was worried, and he didn't dare to say it.

When it was autumn, Aunt Mei called her to go, so that she didn't have to follow Mama Cui to learn the rules anymore, but instead followed her to learn housekeeping.

He Jiaxian was stunned for a moment, thinking that he had made Mama Cui unhappy, for fear that she would be so affected that she would be affected, so he hurriedly asked Mama Cui.

Mama Cui narrowed her eyes and looked at He Jiaxian with a smile, there was no malice in her eyes.

"The second grandmother thinks too much, you are such a blessed person, how dare the old body be embarrassed." Cui Mama smiled and said, "I don't know if the second grandmother still remembers, when did the sunflower water come last time?" ”

He Jiaxian was slightly relieved when he heard this, and then thought about it according to Mama Cui's words, and couldn't help but feel sick and sick to his stomach. It's just that I've been busy dealing with Mama Cui for a while now, and I haven't thought about it at all, so it seems that it's been about three months.

Mama Cui is really aware of women's affairs.

I heard Mama Cui say again: "Actually, for the second grandmother, it doesn't matter whether she learns the rules or not. The second grandmother looked down on these rules in her heart. ”

She sighed: "It's also true, the second grandmother has the capital to look down on." I heard that you have said hello since elementary school, read poetry and books, and are a talented woman, so I don't know how many men love you like treasures, so naturally they will not be harsh on you in the subsections. Moreover, you can give birth, counting this one, you already have three children, which is the foundation of life for the woman in the mansion. If you have these two things, the rules are useless for you. In this life, as long as you don't make any big mistakes, you can sit in the position of grandmother. ”

Mama Cui looked at He Jiaxian's surprised gaze, her face was proud, and she seemed to be proud of her cleverness: "But not every woman in the world is as blessed as the second grandmother." Look at the grandmother, she can't give birth, and now she has a brother, if the concubine crosses her, what will she do? Let's take a look at the two young ladies, although the family is also an official, you and I know what kind of official they can be. If it weren't for Miss Mei's strategy, the two of them would only be slightly better than the rural village woman. ”

He Jiaxian felt uncomfortable when he heard this, and retorted: "You don't have to marry into a wealthy family, as long as you have a heart-to-heart ......."

The second grandmother laughed. Mama Cui interrupted her without waiting for her to finish: "Second grandma has read too many books, right?" Let me ask you, what kind of person is a one-minded person? Don't forget, your master, close the door, is your master. Externally, he has ancestors, parents, relatives and friends, and his decency. If the wife can't win glory for him everywhere, but is ridiculed by others, then the door is also unfortunate. He can protect you for a while, and he can protect you for a lifetime? Can he not dislike you, his family? You have to understand that in this world, for the harvesters, the harvest is important. But for large families, face matters. ”

He Jiaxian understood what she said, and he always understood that if it weren't for this, he would not let Ran Ran suffer this kind of suffering.

Seeing her respectful attitude, Mama Cui nodded with satisfaction: "Second grandma is a transparent person, I can understand as soon as I say it." But it's one thing to understand, it's another to make up your mind. Miss Xiao is young, and it's a good time to train her. If the second grandmother can't make up her mind, she will be brought back as soon as possible...... The rules in the back, if you are not a person who can really be ruthless, the old body will not teach it. ”

Ran Ran is already a little girl, it is inevitable to be lively and active, He Jiaxian also feels that she is tired of learning the rules, and he doesn't think so, he doesn't force her to practice at night, but arrogantly lets her rest, Mama Cui must know and force herself to make a statement.

But Mama Cui is also an understanding person, and He Jiaxian is also outspoken, and told her the scruples in his heart: "Thank you Mama for your teachings." But I don't know anything, so I ask my grandmother for advice. ”

Mama Cui bowed her head and said.

He Jiaxian said: "I know that the life of a woman you said is not easy, and you must learn these scheming methods. But if you rely on these means alone, you will keep your glory and wealth and win the love of your in-laws, but if you are unhappy in your heart, what should you do? If you can't make your own decisions about things, what will you get? I have always believed that the word happiness is the most important thing in life. ”

Mama Cui pursed her lips and smiled, looked at He Jiaxian for a long time before saying, "What the second grandmother said is right. But if the in-laws don't like it, and the husband doesn't love it, how can he be happy? ”

He Jiaxian was ashamed. Yes, how can people who no one likes, people who have been excluded by others, be happy?

"Means and rules are a skill. If you meet a simple person, you can't hide it and don't take it out. If you encounter a difficult person, isn't it a good thing to have the ability to protect yourself? Mama Cui smiled: "The second grandmother is wrong, and she makes the means and happiness the opposite." Who said that those who are good at means must be unhappy? ”

"I've heard that the second grandmother is better than the fourth grandmother. So according to you, is the fourth grandmother a good person? Is she happy or not? "Mama Cui is kind and seductive.

"Besides, no matter how powerful the means and scheming are, it still depends on the person who uses her. If you are single-mindedly good, it will naturally bear good fruits, and if you are single-mindedly evil, even if you have no means and scheming, isn't it murder and arson to hate? Mama Cui smiled: "As the young lady of the Fang family, I basically set the way out in the future." When it comes to time, the little lady is nothing more than looking for a wealthy family, marrying to serve her in-laws, and teaching her husband and children. It's all visible. Could it be that the second grandmother is still looking forward to the fall of the Fang family, the little lady is down, and finally marries a farmer. But the farmer didn't jump out of the cracks in the stones, and there were also in-laws and sisters-in-law. Not to mention that I can't even take care of my own food and clothing......"

He Jiaxian was very stunned, and hurriedly saluted: "What Mama Cui said is very true, I am narrow-minded. ”

Cui Mama said with a smile: "The second grandmother is not narrow-minded, but her own opportunities are not ordinary, and it is inevitable that she will be subjectively brought in." You married from the He family to the Fang family, and you are Gao Pan in yourself, so you are cautious and cautious everywhere, and you feel that life is hard, so you just want to be a little lady. But Cui Mama I have walked a lot and seen a lot, so I naturally understand better than you that there is a lot of urgency between women living happily. ”

He Jiaxian thought about it. Although she didn't object to Ran Ran learning from her before, she really didn't think so.

But Mama Cui's words forced her to face it, she was right, if the Fang family went well, the future of Ran Ran was almost predictable.

The failed marriage of his parents made He Jiaxian understand that he could not be attached to men.

But in this ancient world, it was necessary to be attached to men.

It is only now that she truly understands that it is very important for women to be independent, but they must also have the means to control men.

However, there is a Fang family as a maiden family, and it is naturally independent economically. But if you can't control a man, you will be sad and sad every day, which is another kind of failure.

Seeing that she could listen to her, Mama Cui persuaded again: "Speaking of which, the little lady doesn't have to worry. She is smart and clever, she can understand everything, and she will not make a big mistake in the future. and inherited the physique of your good birth, three or four children are not a problem. Moreover, the Fang family is rich, and the mother's family is also powerful, which is a big support. ”
