222. Seek skin with the tiger

He Jiaxian secretly thought that she could be regarded as saving Ran Ran for life, so he agreed.

Fang Yuting just ate a cup of tea, and touched her hair with her hands from time to time, making her more and more delicate and charming.

Only then did He Jiaxian figure out what happened.

That from Shaoyu saw Ran Ran, he shouted that he wanted to come to play with his sister all day long, and where would the eldest lady allow it, and scolded him a few words.

Unexpectedly, he didn't know who instigated him, saying that men and women could not kiss, and they could not play together at will, and they could only get married.

Since he was a child, the young master has been rolling on the ground and hunger strike, wanting to marry Ran Ran.

After two days of making trouble like this, the fifth master couldn't stand it anymore, felt sorry for his son, and went to discuss with the eldest lady, saying, "...... It's a big deal to get married in the future. Now that it's really settled, it's good to use that girl to spur him down and make him motivated. ”

Although the eldest lady didn't like it, she felt sorry for this grandson, so she ordered people to look at Ran Ran's birthday.

At first glance, the Xiangshi said that it was a match made in heaven, and there was really no better marriage than this, saying that if he married from Shaoyu in the future, he would definitely have a bright future.

Although the eldest lady couldn't look down on the family, the fifth master kept begging, and he had just returned from the border pass, so he had to agree.

"Actually, there's another one. Fang Yuting smiled: "After getting married, from the shops and granges at home, some unsightly silver can be washed clean and innocent through our shop." ”

He Jiaxian was stunned, he didn't expect that there was still such a stake.

Seeing that she was ignorant, Fang Yuting smiled and said, "Learn more." Although the time you have been in the mansion is not short, but with the Chen family, you have not grown at all. Her little tricks, where can she compare to Aunt Mei's follower to the lady of the family. ”

He Jiaxian had to agree.

After Aunt Mei became a housekeeper, although she did not target her explicitly, she had soft nails on her chest, so that she had to be afraid everywhere, tolerate everywhere, and even sue Fang Qirui, she couldn't start, and she couldn't find a breakthrough.

It's so depressed that I can't breathe.

Fang Yuting got He Jiaxian's consent three or five times, hugged her again, and left.

After He Jiaxian waited for her to leave, Hongmei said: "Second aunt and grandmother are really, since there are too many enemies and you are afraid of retribution, why don't you stop early, and don't do those things that compete for fame and fortune." ”

Hou Fu is now in charge, and she is very discordant with Xiao Jinping's new wife, and when the two of them quarrel, they dare to scold and say anything.

The new wife scolded Fang Yuting for poisoning Mrs. Hou, and blamed her sister or something, Yanzhou City spread it for a while, but there was no real evidence, plus Hou Ye, the two young masters did not pursue it, and it was gradually considered groundless, and it faded away.

He Jiaxian said: "Who knows." ”

Hongmei said again: "But she really feels sorry for the little lady." ”

He Jiaxian was also a little soft-hearted at the moment, and sighed: "Probably because she has no children herself, and I am the only one who has no big enmity with her." ”

Hongmei nodded.

It's just that within half a month of saying this, he was slapped in the face.

Cong Shaoyu has set a new family affair, it is no one else, it is actually the girl born to the new wife of Xiao Jinping, the son of the Hou Mansion, named Xiao Jinxiu, who is only more than a year old now. It is said that it is her life character that is helpful to Cong Shaoyu.

When Hongmei heard the news, she pouted and said, "I'll just say, the second aunt and grandmother are not the kind of warm-hearted people who help people for no reason. The second grandmother was made a promise by her. I don't know how to make excessive demands on this promise in the future. ”

He Jiaxian also knew that he had been calculated by Fang Yuting again.

She thought it was Fang Yuting who loved Ranran, but it turned out to be blocking the Hou Mansion to climb the way from home.

smiled helplessly, but fortunately he retreated. As for the benefits of others, she has nothing to look up for.

When it came to the Mid-Autumn Festival, Cong Shaoyu was really able to get up and drink porridge, and since then, he has never mentioned the Fang family at home, as if there is no such thing.

Aunt Mei didn't know where to find out the process in the middle, although she didn't say He Jiaxian explicitly, but she made Hongmei Mengli and the others all kneel for a whole day, until several girls in Tinglan Courtyard couldn't straighten their legs the next day.

He Jiaxian knew that this was a trick that she couldn't catch herself, so they warned her with Hongmei and told her not to act rashly.

After all, it was destined to be a snake, and she didn't collude with the master beforehand.

Fang Qirui heard this, although he couldn't find fault with He Jiaxian, but he also thought the same as Aunt Mei: "You shouldn't have brought that day to pass, you didn't dedicate it, but caused trouble." ”

He Jiaxian smiled, seeing that Fang Qirui's thinking had changed too much and he couldn't turn around, he didn't want to argue with him more.

Fang Qirui said: "Don't think I talk too much, now I have all business in my hands, not as idle as before, if you don't pay more attention, I'm afraid that I won't be far away and can't take care of ......"

He Jiaxian knew that he was completely worried about their mother and son, so he forgave him in his heart, and still said, "You are in charge of your own business." I know that you haven't put out some shops yet, that's the idea of fighting, but you have to think clearly, you really don't take the scientific examination? Are you making up your mind to earn money for the children to study? Take care of the Fang family with your own strength? You have to understand that it is very likely that after 20 years, Fang Baoqian will grow up and you will have nothing. ”

Fang Qirui hugged her and said with a smile: "I don't dare to think about that now, even if I think about it, those old guys in the family will not let me really manage it for twenty years, let alone sit back and watch me as a concubine carry forward the family business too much." The tree is very popular, and when the time comes, it will be time to make wedding clothes for others in vain. First, I don't have the right name, and secondly, I don't have those ambitions. You know, I like to do business, and if that's the case, then take it one step at a time, and when the business can't go on, that's it. Don't worry, I won't suffer your mother and son. ”

He Jiaxian saw that he thought clearly and understood, and wanted to persuade him to concentrate on studying, abandoned his interest in doing business, and focused on pragmatism. As for the rest of the Fang family, they were all anxious for fear that they would rob the industry, so they simply left it alone. Look at how long a large family can eat when they sit and eat empty.

Of course, this is just angry talk.

With Fang Qixuan also winning the show, there are more and more people in the Fang family who are famous.

Aunt Mei spent a lot of money to invite a famous gentleman in the capital to come over and teach a few children to enlighten, although it is a bit overkill, but there are also many people who give a thumbs up behind their backs, saying that Aunt Mei is full of strength and wants to glorify the lintel of Fang's house.

The fifth lady came to look for He Jiaxian, and entered the house mysteriously, first holding Ran Ran and praising a few words, everyone knew that He Jiaxian was very fond of his daughter. casually hung a fried yellow cancan gold collar around her neck: "Last time, I heard that the little lady was not good at home, and she wore a snake-patterned safety lock." I thought it would be better to replace it quickly and see if there was a chance to turn around. ”

From Shaoyu, he has already made another marriage, where is there a chance. As soon as He Jiaxian heard it, he knew that the fifth lady's drunkard did not mean to drink, so he did not refuse, and listened to her continue with a smile.

"Your third uncle, you've been in high spirits lately. It's a pity that your third aunt is not very good, and there are two more girls in the house, one of whom is pregnant, and her belly is upright and proud. The fifth lady approached He Jiaxian's ear and muttered in a low voice: "This man becomes bad when he is rich, and I don't know what your third aunt thinks, why did the third uncle donate an official, and it is said that the dowry book was taken out." As a result, he was still a white-eyed wolf. ”

He Jiaxian smiled, even if she didn't want to know the news, Mengli and Sydney muttered, and the broken mouths of the maids in other yards would always reach her ears, and she couldn't listen to it if she wanted to, so she smiled and said, "It's better to pay more attention to yourself." ”

The fifth lady was not stunned, and continued: "Speaking of which, the third uncle doesn't know which luck he went, and he was able to get the door and donate to the official, hey, it's a pity, your fifth uncle doesn't have such a life!"

He Jiaxian persuaded: "It's okay if you don't have it, don't you also say it? Men will get carried away as soon as they are developed, and now the fifth uncle is in harmony with you, but it is also comfortable." ”

The fifth lady said: "That's so, it's a pity that a big man eats and drinks at home all day long, and he doesn't have a serious ......" Seeing that He Jiaxian didn't seem to have a way, she smiled and changed the topic: "I heard that it is a means to be a family, have you heard that the family members have any acquaintances who are big officials......

When He Jiaxian heard this, he realized that this golden collar was asking her to go to Aunt Mei to inquire about the news, but he just looked at her pitiful, thinking that if there was a way, he should not favor one over the other, so he nodded and said, "If there is a chance, I will help you ask." ”

If Fang Qirui really wants to do business and take charge of the Fang family's industry, he will also need their voice and support in the future.

The fifth lady was overjoyed, and hurriedly praised a few words, and then left.

After two days, Aunt Mei called He Jiaxian over: "You also persuaded the second child to get rid of the shop earlier, leave some granges and houses, and rent cashiers, but now I am busy and have no time to study......"

He Jiaxian knew that Fang Qirui was definitely unwilling to let go now, although she didn't like to drag the mud and water like this, but she could also understand Fang Qirui's hesitation, so she said: "I'm afraid it's not so easy to make a move, many people know that our family has this idea, and they all take the opportunity to lower the price......"

"If you lower the price, how much can it be worth?" Aunt Mei frowned: "Although it is not too much silver, it is hot to the hands, but it is full of copper smell, and it is not good to stain it for a long time." It's better to come back early, as long as he is willing to be motivated, I will make some more connections and means here, and the family will have enough money...... Isn't it much better than now?"

Only then did He Jiaxian understand what Aunt Mei really thought.

She was unwilling to let go of the Fang family's stewardship, so she needed Fang Qirui to occupy the property. But he didn't want Fang Qirui to spend his mind on business, he just wanted him to hurry up to high school and dominate the silver.

She manages the Fang Mansion, and Fang Qirui is also stinky.

She has both money and official positions, and she doesn't want to let go of any of them. After all, officials can't do business, but it doesn't say that officials can't have a lot of silver.

If it is according to her arrangement, Fang Qirui will become an official after high school, and with the current silver net worth of the Fang family's industry, I am afraid that the career will be smooth in the future, and it will be prosperous - of course, as long as it is not too corrupt.

Rich and powerful, Aunt Mei has a good calculation, and she only made up her mind to let the rest of the Fang family live on her snort.

Or, did she arrange for the rest of the Fang family's people to slowly break away one by one, so that Fang Qirui would be independent from the Fang family with the silver?

He Jiaxian couldn't help but be taken aback by his own thoughts, and when he looked up at Aunt Mei, he found that she was firm and indifferent, and didn't seem to feel that there was anything wrong.

Even He Jiaxian didn't feel that anything was wrong.

The third uncle's family got what they wanted and became officials - they themselves lived on the money in the public school.

If the fifth uncle also concocted the same method, he would gradually have nothing to do with the Fang family's industry, and he would not need to give out the money in the future.

Fang Qiye and Fang Qizong are the sons-in-law of Master Fang, and they have no ability to take care of themselves, so they will no longer oppose Fang Qirui because of industrial problems.

Zhou's orphans and widows didn't help.

In other words, Aunt Mei's idea was to let the Fang family fall apart, and Fang Qirui was the only one.

In this way, it is a good calculation, He Jiaxian actually found that he did not have any position to disagree.

It's actually good to separate these annoying and pestering worlds and let everyone take what they need. In the future, the Fang family closed the door to live.

As for whether Fang Qirui wants to do business or be an official, she doesn't count.

After thinking about it, he smiled and said, "I will persuade him." ”

Of course, this is just a polite remark. Fang Qirui likes to do business, so he will do it first.

Seeing that she was obedient, Aunt Mei nodded with a smile: "Don't think that I am calculating, such an arrangement, everyone is good." In the future, your son will no longer be born to a concubine, and he will be a head taller than others when he goes out, and he will be able to straighten his waist. ”

He Jiaxian naturally knew that these calculations, the most beneficial thing in the calculation was their second room.

As long as she is self-interested and beneficial to others, she is not a saint, so naturally she will not get the silver in her hand.

"I heard that the Fifth Lady went to look for you, but what did you say?" asked Aunt Mei.

He Jiaxian told her what she asked, and Aunt Mei said in a deep voice: "It's not good to favor one over the other, you go and tell her that there is no way to be an official for the time being, but there is a good marriage." ”

When He Jiaxian heard it, there was an old acquaintance of her in the capital, who was also a handkerchief Lou Erniang when she was a child, and her daughter was of marriageable age, but she was three years older than Fang Qige of the fifth lady's family.

Since it is from the capital and an official family, presumably the fifth lady will be very satisfied. He Jiaxian also thought after hearing it, it was worth living in that gold collar.

was about to go to the fifth lady's side, but he patted his head suddenly: "How come you have traveled through so many years, and you still haven't been able to understand the rules of the ancient family?"

If there are such good conditions, how can Aunt Tomei say that the fifth lady is a family that doesn't even have an estate?

I was secretly suspicious in my heart, and wrote a letter to Fang Yuyan and asked her to help inquire.

However, I got the news in three or five days: the young lady was a fierce woman, and she was angry with her mother-in-law after two years of marriage, and was abandoned by her husband's family and returned home.

He Jiaxian thought about it and went back to Aunt Mei: "I have never been a matchmaker, and when I think about it, it is not easy for the fifth aunt to say anything......"
