148, Yujing was made a concubine
He Jiaxian let Sydney continue to sleep in Tinglan Courtyard, because she was pregnant, Chen exempted her from asking for peace in the morning and evening, and gave her face for some unimportant things, without interfering too much. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
"Second grandmother, the slave is going now. You should take care of your life in the future. "Sydney leaves, and when she comes back, she won't go back to Tinglan Courtyard, she works in the utility room, and she lives with Harmony. Fang Qirui was already in the alley behind Fang's mansion, where those family slaves lived, and he had a separate room for Heqi to get married and live.
Jixiang sent it out, Sydney thought about it, and still said: "Sister, let's look at Mengli more, I see that she has been thinking a little wrong recently." ”
"What?" wondered Jixiang. The two of them lived in the same room, and they were always in harmony.
"It stands to reason that I should have told my second grandmother about this, but I was afraid that my sister would be embarrassed, so I told my sister first. Sydney smiled and said, "Although I am more familiar with Mengli, I should favor her." But my sister has also served the second grandmother for many days, and she has always been loyal......"
"Let's talk about things quickly, there is no one to serve the second grandmother...... Jixiang also gradually understood that He Jiaxian said that Sydney is "smart is good, but a little too smart", I feel that no matter what Sydney does, I have to sell a favor before I say it, it was okay at the beginning, but after everything is like this, it is a little annoying.
"Mengli has been dressing up lately, and she always talks about how the second master is......" Sydney smiled: "Sister still doesn't understand?"
Ji Xiang was stunned, and only after a moment did he say: "The second grandmother and the second master have a good relationship......
"Having said that, but the second grandmother is pregnant now, she can't let the second master hold back, and when she comes over with other women, she must be a kind person around her. Sydney made it clear: "The people in the courtyard say that it should be you." It's just that the second grandmother doesn't mean that, and you don't have it, thinking that you don't want to, then Mengli naturally thinks it should be her. ”
After Sydney finished speaking, she left with a smile, leaving a sentence before leaving: "If there really has to be someone, presumably the second grandmother still hopes to be my sister's, Mengli is too beautiful, and her temperament is soft, which man can hold it?" ”
Ji Xiang was stunned again. When I went back to serve, I was a little distracted.
He Jiaxian only cared about the joy of having a new life, and didn't notice her dazedness.
At night, Ji Xiang couldn't sleep after tossing and turning, so he listened to a delicate voice outside: "The second master is back? ”
Jixiang seemed to have been poked by someone, and immediately bounced up from the bed, and when he pushed the door open, he happened to see Meng Li gracefully following the second master and entering the house. When she arrived outside the house, she heard He Jiaxian's sleepy eyes: "Just came back......"
Mengli hurriedly said: "Don't get up the second grandmother, just serve the slave and maid." ”
Ji Xiang hurriedly raised his feet and entered the house, and said with a smile: "Sister, go to sleep, I'm here......"
As soon as Mengli turned around, she saw that her face was very tightly drawn. She's always been a good hand at it.
Meng Li was about to take Fang Qirui's clothes off, but she had to withdraw her hand at this moment. Jixiang took it very unnaturally, and went to the clean room to get a basin to fetch water.
Mengli was busy holding the sweat towel, and Ji Xiang snatched it from her hand: "You go back to sleep first, I'll serve ...... here"
Mengli seemed to be grabbed by someone, and her hand was burned by fire, so she threw the sweat towel into Jixiang's hand and ran away.
Jixiang looked at He Jiaxian sleeping soundly on the bed, hesitated a little, and didn't say anything after all.
In the spring of March, the weather is getting better day by day, and He Jiaxian is walking in the garden with his auspicious hand, which is extremely comfortable.
"I've been shopping for a morning, the second grandmother should rest, and I'll go to the Buddha Hall to ask Mrs. Hui'an to take a look." Jixiang urged again and again, and He Jiaxian reluctantly walked back, even if he walked, it was a stop-and-go. She had been in the house for too long, smelling the flowers and listening to the birds, how beautiful it was. Nature, how to be close to.
Speaking of which, it's also a boring thing to do.
Master Fang said that he dreamed of the deceased Mrs. Tai one night, and said that he was not having a good time down there. Master Fang is naturally filial, and the next day he invited Mrs. Hui'an in the nunnery to come to the house, open the Buddha hall, light the lantern, and chant and pray for the old lady every day, saying that it is about 7749 days.
Then I don't know who mentioned it in passing, that Master Hui'an knew that there was joy in the house, and took the initiative to ask He Jiaxian to come over every seven days to take a look at her, and she also recited the peace mantra to the child.
Ho Ka-hsien was an atheist, and although he was an unbeliever, he had to follow the local customs, and he went through the ordeal for nearly an hour every seven days. Sitting there motionless, you have to sincerely follow Master Hui'an and pray for the child in her belly.
It was easy to come out of the Buddhist hall, tired and had a sore back, and was about to go back to the house to rest. "Second grandma, second aunt and grandma are back, please go to the flower hall and sit down. "Hongguo ran over and passed it on.
He Jiaxian frowned: "This is not a festival, what is she doing when she comes back?" Thinking of Fang Yuzhu saying that Fang Yuting would definitely not give up, He Jiaxian intuitively felt that there was nothing good.
When they arrived at the flower hall, before the Chen family arrived, Fang Yuting and Fang Yulu sat and chatted, smiling and dancing.
"Second sister-in-law, I heard that you are pregnant, congratulations. Fang Yuting took off a jade wrench in her hand: "Wait for him to come out, play with him......" There was an indescribable sourness on her face.
He Jiaxian has long been accustomed to the Fang family's giving gifts at every turn, and he is a generous spender of gold, silver and jade at will. It's just that she rarely sees this kind of expression on Fang Yuting's face, more of a hypocritical smile, hateful eyes and pretended indifference.
As soon as his heart moved, he took it with a smile: "Then I'll take it first, and when you get back, I'll send you another good thing!"
Fang Yuting smiled unnaturally and changed her words: "I came back this time because of a happy event. ”
"The lord of the state capital wants to take a concubine and finds me here, I think of such a good thing, the fat water does not flow into the fields of outsiders......" she said, looking at He Jiaxian with a smile, only staring at He Jiaxian's heart, and sighed in his heart, with a very ominous premonition. It's just that this premonition hasn't been confirmed yet, Fang Yuting has already finished her words with a smile: "I look at our fifth sister......"
"The state masters are in their fifties...... She is still young...... "He Jiaxian subconsciously answered: "The four sisters are not married......"
"Yes. Fang Yuting looked at He Jiaxian meaningfully: "The young and the old are orderly." ”
He Jiaxian really couldn't hear what she wanted to say, and she was sold by her heart, and just as she was about to muster up the courage to say, "Sister might as well make it clear", it was rumored that the Chen family came.
Fang Yuting smiled and got up to greet her, and Chen said: "You have been raised in front of me since you were a child, and it is easy to come back and treat yourself as a guest, you have to talk in this flower hall, why can't you go to Heshoutang to say?"
Fang Yuting helped Chen up the steps, looking like a mother and a daughter, and said with a smile: "There is a big happy event, so I don't have to tell my mother in Heshoutang, there are too few people who are contaminated with joy." In this flower hall, the whole house will know, and when the time comes, everyone will be happy together, and that is the real joy. ”
Chen Shi also smiled when he heard this, and asked with an expectant face: "You will sell Guanzi, what joy is there to say!"
Fang Yuting pointed to He Jiaxian: "Fang Cai couldn't help but mention to the second sister-in-law, the lord of the state capital wants to take a concubine, and he has taken a fancy to our family......"
Chen's eyes lit up when he heard this: "This is a happy event, which girl do you fall into?"
"What a happy event, girl? The corners of Fang Yuting's mouth twitched, and a fierce light flashed in her eyes: "It's our fifth sister......"
"That's not good!" Chen almost heard Fang Yuting mention the word "fifth sister", so he categorically refuted it, but it made He Jiaxian's heart a little fixed. She was so happy to see Chen just now, for fear that she would also think it was a happy event, so she pushed a good girl into the fire pit, and her courage was raised to her throat, thinking that once something happened, she would argue with them.
Unexpectedly, the Chen family actually vetoed it.
"Our family is doing business, is there still less loss from the state capital lord who eats in Pingsuli? If the fifth sister marries, it will be a family ...... then" Fang Yuting said skillfully: "Although the Hou Mansion looks at the big tree, it is an old tree in the end, it can't bloom, and it can't cover the people under the ......."
"If I say no, I can't, don't say it again. Chen did not hesitate: "The girl of our Fang family has never been a concubine. Even if you say that this thing is broken, it is absolutely impossible. ”
For the first time, He Jiaxian felt that the Chen family had the demeanor and majesty of being a housewife!
"Mother...... I have already promised the state master......" Fang Yuting was coquettish.
"Okay, there's no need to talk about it anymore, and don't mention it again. Chen waved his sleeves: "It's a matter of family style, there is no possibility." Not to mention that it is clear that it is a concubine for others, even if it is defiled by others, the daughter of our Fang family will only die once, but there is no ...... to be a concubine for others."
"What about the third sister, what about it?" Fang Yuting was not convinced.
"That's the heavenly family, how can it be compared with ordinary officials. With our humble status, we can enter the royal family, even if we are slaves and maids?" Chen sneered: "Besides, it is the person who the princess personally wants, do we dare to say a word?"
"Then the lord of the state capital also asked for someone in person!" Fang Yuting did not relent.
"Then we can only ask the Hou Ye and the princess to be the masters of the Fang family!" Chen narrowed his eyes and looked at Fang Yuting, and said angrily: "Don't think that I don't know what medicine you sell in your gourd, with the current situation of our family, the lord of the state capital doesn't dare to hit the girl of the Fang family with his idea, unless he doesn't want the black gauze hat on his head." Ping Suri has honored so much, he will not be uninteresting, and you will not be fooled in the middle. After speaking, he said to the golden lady: "I am unwell and cannot entertain guests." Ask the second aunt and grandmother if they want to eat at home, and if so, tell the people to prepare for it. ”
After speaking, he didn't look at Fang Yuting, turned his head and left, leaving Fang Yuting biting the corner of his lip with hatred in place, and also turned around and walked out: "Don't eat." ”
He Jiaxian was the only one left in the huge flower hall, stunned, but there was a sense of happiness for the rest of his life.
Back at Tinglan Courtyard, the more He Jiaxian thought about it, the more strange it became, and asked Jixiang: "Do you think that the second aunt and grandmother will expect that Madame will not agree?"
Ji Xiang shook his head in confusion: "It stands to reason that it won't be, after all, Madam doesn't like to see Miss Fifth now, it is said that the food delivered yesterday was a little rancid, and Aunt Feng was angry." ”
"Then this kind of thing should be mentioned in secret, why did you talk about it in the open from the beginning?" He Jiaxian felt that this explanation was not reasonable. Although Chen played small tricks from time to time, he never missed the big picture. Fang Yuting should know, even if the Chen family agrees, Master Fang will definitely not agree, what does she mean by making a fuss at the beginning?
I just thought about it for a long time and didn't have an answer, and I couldn't help but fall asleep again.
In the evening, two things that had a chain reaction occurred, and she vaguely guessed Fang Yuting's intentions.
One thing is that Aunt Feng walked tremblingly, and before she could breathe, she rushed over to He Jiaxian eagerly: "Second grandma, you are at the scene, tell me what is going on, how can you give the fifth miss to someone as a concubine?"
He Jiaxian hurriedly helped her to sit down, and ordered someone to make a cup of good ginseng tea, and then said with a smile: "What should I do, it was for this impossible thing." ”
When Aunt Feng heard her say this, her heart settled for a moment, and she hurriedly asked, "Please also tell the second grandmother in detail." ”
He Jiaxian told the story of the flower hall again, focusing on Chen's categorical refusal attitude, but Aunt Feng still had palpitations: "She hates Miss Five, and she will definitely find a way to harm Miss Five again...... You have to find a way, you have to find a way......" between the words, as if I had glimpsed something terrible, and my face was full of horror.
He Jiaxian could only rack his brains to appease her, but Aunt Feng couldn't hear it, thinking that even if she didn't give people a concubine, Fang Yuting would think of other ways to harm Fang Yujing, so she couldn't help but shrink into a ball on the chair, like a frightened bird.
As he was talking, Hongguo hurriedly came to report: "Second grandma, no, the fifth miss hanged herself in the room!"
He Jiaxian was stunned for a moment, and subconsciously went to see Aunt Feng, only to see her roll her eyes, faint, and fall off the chair.
Only then did He Jiaxian understand why Fang Yuting had to speak in the flower hall.
She and Chen talked in Heshoutang, and the six ears were pressed over without speaking, and she was not very sure whether it would be successful or not. But if it is said outside, no matter whether it is successful or not, Fang Yujing will know almost immediately, and there is no chance to make psychological preparations;
What a wishful thinking. Fang Yuting was afraid that she was just thinking about Fang Yujing's anxiety about her life from now on, and she couldn't stop worrying.
