“…… You haven't lost yet? Fang Yuting is not in front of your mother-in-law, eating you to death. Chen snorted coldly, she still doesn't know what Fang Yuhe's temperament is, her daughter is reckless in front of her mother, and she doesn't know what to pretend.

Fang Yuhe didn't like to listen to this big truth: "Why does my mother always talk to her?"

"It's not that I'm looking at her, aren't we asking for someone now?" Chen smiled: "Being able to bend and stretch is the right reason." He also ordered Peony: "Go and call the fourth lady to come, tell the truth as soon as possible, and let her die of this heart." ”

Fang Yulu was taken aback when she heard that the young master of the Cong family was going to enter the palace for official selection, and just when the Chen family thought she was going to cry, Fang Yulu spoke unhurriedly: "Can't I enter the palace to run for election?"

"......" Fang Yuhe and Chen were both taken aback by her thoughts, and they didn't know how to answer for a while.

"I heard that there are families in the east of the city, and sisters are easy to marry. said that her sister ran away with someone and her sister got married. Fang Yulu smiled: "It just so happened that I heard that Sister Yuzhu doesn't like to enter the palace to run for election, so I'll go for her!"

"What nonsense are you talking about? You replace her? Don't say that this is a great crime of bullying the king; even if you really succeed, can you guarantee that you will definitely be able to marry the young master of the family?" Chen said angrily: "You are really young and ignorant! I don't know what is at stake." ”

"Mother is at a loss. Fang Yulu still smiled, and didn't take Chen's scolding seriously: "Who said that I must guarantee to marry the young master of the Cong family?" There are so many sons and brothers of the family who are participating in the election, when the time comes, I am afraid that the appearance and background are better than the young master of the Cong family, like a carp crossing the river...... No matter who you enter, you have no choice but to be bad. ”

Chen and Fang Yuhe were both shocked, they didn't expect Fang Yulu, who had always been inconspicuous, to have such great ambitions, and hurriedly said: "The palace is not as simple as you think......

"I'm not afraid. My mother has taught me hard all these years, isn't it just to marry a good family, be a beautiful housewife, and be a glorious and wealthy housewife?" Fang Yulu smiled: "It's a pity to miss this opportunity." ”

"What a chance, this is the crime of bullying the king!" Fang Yuhe was furious: "Hurry up and take your thoughts." ”

"I won't deceive you. I asked. Fang Yulu smiled firmly: "As long as the second uncle is willing to nominate me to run for election, although I am not his daughter, but I am also a niece, there is such a precedent." ”

"That's Fang Yuzhu's quota ......," Chen reminded.

"So, I want Sister Yuzhu to give up this place, she doesn't want to go anyway. Fang Yulu seemed to have everything under control.

Chen and Fang Yuhe looked at each other, and only after half a sound did Chen Shi say, "How long have you been planning for this matter?"

"When my mother asked my eldest sister to help me inquire about the marriage of the young master of the Cong family, I saw that there was no letter for several days, and I thought that Fang Yuting was reluctant to help, so I simply wrote a letter to Miss Congqi, and set her words, she replied yesterday. Fang Yulu had a sense of pride in seeing the opportunity: "Now, first, I want the second aunt and Sister Yuzhu to agree not to run for election, and second, ask the lord of the state government to change the roster." ”

"The second thing is no problem, I am familiar with the lady of the state government, and I will do it with some silver. Fang Yuhe glanced at Chen. "It's Yuzhu, she has always been gentle, and she will agree to it. ”

The mother and daughter finalized the matter in this way.

Chen got up and went to the second room to say, but he didn't expect to be rejected by Fang Yuzhu: "Aunt is bothered, I don't know who said this kind of thing to you, it is simply ulterior motives and ruined my father's reputation." ”

Chen thought that his face was not big enough, and he found He Jiaxian again.

He Jiaxian thinks this is a good idea, anyway, there are girls in the second master Fang's family, whether it is a daughter or a niece, they can make a difference, killing three birds with one stone.

Fang Yuzhu nodded her forehead: "You are stupid." ”

If an official's daughter wants to run for election if she disobeys the arrangement, it is simply "contempt of God's grace." The marriage rewarded by the emperor, even if it is a fire pit, has to jump and call "Thank you, Lord Longen." ”

Chen had never been an official wife, so he thought that he could be flexible, so he was instigated by Fang Yulu to mention this.

It was impossible for Fang Yuzhu to say to an elder: "You don't understand the rules." "I can only say that I don't mean that.

Even if she had, she could only complain in private and disobey the order? She didn't dare to joke about her father's future.

In front of He Jiaxian, he told the truth and said: "Don't say that the Holy God just asked me to run for election, that is, to tell me to die, my father will not hesitate to hand me over." Why do you think things can be flexible? There is no room for negotiation in front of the Son of Heaven!"

He Jiaxian learned another lesson, and naturally he didn't dare to tell Chen what he said, but only said that Fang Yuzhu still decided to run.

Fang Yulu listened and said: "Sister Yuzhu has always been good friends with her, I think she has no intentions." ”

Chen was also puzzled, so he just pressed it and didn't watch it.

In late autumn, the private school recruited a new teacher, and He Runian was not selected, so he was completely idle at home.

As soon as He Jiaxian learned the news, he immediately went to find Master Fang.

Master Fang was indeed very busy, and said while looking at the accounts: "If it is a matter of the inner house, you should go to your mother to discuss it first." ”

He Jiaxian hurriedly said: "The daughter-in-law is not a person who doesn't know the rules, but this matter is special and related to the future of the Fang family, I think it is more appropriate to directly explain to the father." ”

I talked about the "opening of ethnology" that I have been thinking about day and night for some time recently.

Master Fang listened to her plan and was silent for a while.

He Jiaxian was afraid that he would not agree, so he hurriedly said: "The daughter-in-law has calculated, the family will pay twenty taels of silver every month just to study for the younger brother of the fourth aunt's family, but if you gather several younger brothers together and ask Mr. to teach, a month's restraint will not cost much silver." What's more, the sister-in-law is about to give birth, and Aunt Lin is also going to give birth, and these heirs will also study in the future. ”

Master Fang looked at her and smiled: "It's a good idea." ”

He Jiaxian was not happy or approved of him when he saw him, and he couldn't help but feel very disappointed: "I don't know what other scruples my father has?"

"I have no scruples and agree with it. But you probably didn't understand that there are no more than three businessmen like us, and they are not allowed to ask Mr. to teach alone, let alone run a school privately!" After Master Fang finished speaking, he sighed: "I didn't think about it, it's a pity that ......"

He Jiaxian was stunned for a moment, there are still such laws and regulations? She thought that asking her husband to teach her own children was the same as asking for a tutor, and she was free to act.

Touching such a hard nail, a large set of rhetoric prepared by He Jiaxian all dissipated.

After a while, she said, "If you ask your own family to teach your grandson, it's not illegal." ”

"It's all the same, no more than three people take in apprentices without permission, and it is not considered a crime. Old Man Fang smiled and closed the account book: "I know what you mean, Mr. He is at home now, and you want to ask him to teach the children of the Fang family." To tell you the truth, when I was studying with you in the fourth child, I had this thought, and I have been invited three times, but I was rejected by Mr. He. Now, I don't think he would teach us merchants, even if he wanted to. Congjia, Bai family, and the genealogy of some big families have already posted to invite him to go. ”

He Jiaxian had no choice but to give up.

"What if Fang Yuzhu doesn't agree? Mrs. Zhou said that she has a way to report her sister directly, in the name of the second uncle's niece. Fang Yuhe went back to her parents' house to report the results, and learned that Fang Yuzhu's side did not succeed, so she said.

"Then if your second uncle ......" Chen was a little worried: "Isn't this a deception? Besides, if you lose the election......

"Mother, you are this kind of forward-looking character, so you don't have majesty in the Fang family. Fang Yuhe sneered: "If it happens, will the second uncle report his niece for deception and let her be convicted? If it is explained in advance, the second uncle's temperament will definitely not be allowed. ”

As soon as Chen heard her analysis that this was really the case, he smiled and said, "That's a clever plan." ”

"But you can't let the state lady help me. Fang Yuhe spoke at the right time. When Chen looked over, he stretched out a hand full of agate rings: "She wants five thousand taels." ”

"So much?" Chen muttered, "I can't get out so much silver at one moment...... Let me think about it. ”

As he was talking, Peony came in and told He Jiaxian about going to Master Fang, because it was not a private matter, he didn't carry anyone behind his back at all, and the news came in the blink of an eye.

When Chen heard this, he sneered and said, "She had a good idea, she actually crossed me and went directly to the master to say that she didn't take me seriously at all." She also wants to find a good errand for her father, and she also comes to eat the Fang family and drink the Fang family, she wants to be beautiful!"

It's just that I don't believe it very much in my heart, and I suspect that He Jiaxian is a matter of ethnicity to the outside world, but I am afraid that I will tell Master Fang in private about my embezzlement of the silver in the public school.

Fortunately, she had already made it clear to the Zhou family that she had exchanged the Fang family's silver ticket for the account. and used the procurement authority of the kitchen to exempt Zhou from the account of the 10,000 taels of silver.

Although Zhou was reluctant, she clearly knew that this was Chen giving her face. If Chen didn't give it and didn't pay it back, she couldn't do it, so she could only accept it happily, and she became more and more disrespectful to Chen in her heart.

Fang Yuhe smiled and said, "Mother is still too kind. Look at my mother-in-law, the decision to kill, Fang Yuting and I are like a cat and mouse in her eyes, and we are turning around by her. ”

Mrs. Hou's awesomeness, Chen has always admired and yearned, and when Fang Yuhe mentioned it at this moment, he also showed admiration: "It's a pity, I don't have her vision and means." ”

"What kind of vision and means do you want, you are your mother-in-law, a filial piety word can crush her to death, and you still need to talk about means?" Fang Yuhe scoffed at Chen's theory, but he didn't dare to reveal it clearly: "Don't say anything else, my mother-in-law asked me to send Brother Han to her knees to raise, although I am unwilling, can I say no?"

Chen's heart moved when he heard this, but Fang Yuhe had already changed the topic: "Mother, hurry up and make a decision, the lady of the state capital is still pointing at you to reply." ”

"This is not a small amount, I will send someone home for you in two days. Chen agreed, and fell into deep thought.

Fang Yuhe also hesitated when she saw her thousands of taels of silver, and her eyes flickered a few times: "If the fourth sister is chosen by a high-ranking family, it will be a lifetime of glory and wealth." ”

When Chen heard this, he completely made up his mind: "You go to Mrs. Chengzhou Mansion, and I will give her the silver in a few days." ”

Fang Yuhe simply agreed to go back.

Chen summoned the golden lady in and asked in a low voice, "How much silver have we saved?"

"It's only three thousand taels. Jin Niangzi looked at the accounts and counted: "It's not enough for 10,000 taels, do you want to pay it back to your uncle in advance?"

In order to get rid of Aunt Xue's ghost, the Chen family made a lot of jewelry, sold a shop under his name, and has been raising money. Although Aunt Xue bit to death as long as the calligraphy and painting do not need silver, but where did Chen get her calligraphy and painting? I can only think that the silver will be saved enough for 10,000 taels first, and then I will cry with emotion and reason, such as how to get the IOU back first.

After all, you can't really lose her life to marry Chen Yumin, the daughter of that ruthless and willful, useless small businessman.

"If you don't pay it back, take five hundred taels out. Chen gritted his teeth and was ruthless: "She actually went to find the eldest daughter-in-law without telling me, if the eldest daughter-in-law hadn't told me, I wouldn't have known that she had already set up her mind to kill me." She said everywhere that one day she would leak the news. ”

"The slave knows, isn't this to make up the money and return it to her?" the golden lady was a little puzzled.

"The four girls also need silver there. Chen calculated: "You sold my Zhuangzi in the western suburbs, get rid of it as soon as possible." ”

"Madame, that's the most valuable piece of land in your marriage. Jin Niangzi hurriedly dissuaded: "My uncle's wife is not emotional, let's beg her more." ”

"Long nights and dreams. Since Chen has his heart, there is no reason to take it back: "Zhuangzi must also be sold, they are all my children, and we must not favor one over the other." ”

Jin Niangzi wiped a handful of tears: "People's children are all filial, how can a few young ladies and young masters, all of them are like debt collection, and they have scavenged you cleanly......"

"Don't talk nonsense, as long as they are doing well, I have nothing to complain about. I'm old, and those silver don't bring with me when I die......" Chen sighed: "But the children are all older, and they have their own ideas, so I can't control it." Now, I can only tease my grandson. ”

Jin Niangzi was stunned for a moment, and before she could ask, Chen said to her: "You go and tell the second daughter-in-law, I'm idle, help her take Xiao Ranran." Isn't she going to do some kind of ethnic studies? Worry about these things all day long, but I'm afraid that the children won't be able to bring ......."

The arrival of the Chen family and the golden lady was a nightmare for He Jiaxian.

When Chen said that he was lonely under his knees and wanted to take Ran Ran in person, He Jiaxian shuddered.

But the grandmother and granddaughter are right, and no one can say anything.

He Jiaxian looked at the golden lady and instigated the girls to take Ran Ran away, and wanted to go up to grab it, but was separated by the peony: "If the second grandmother has any opinions, go and tell the lady, the slave maid is just acting on orders." ”

It is better to say that it is to take it away, but it is better to say that it is snatched.

Hongmei has already slipped out of the way.

The rest of the maids saw that He Jiaxian was not happy, and they also rushed up to surround the people.

"It's against you! Who is in charge of this family?" The golden lady shouted angrily: "Turn around and drive out!"
