He Jiaxian knew that Ding Yue had always felt sorry for her daughter, and no matter how hard her daughter worked, she was ignored, which was very frustrating, and she didn't want her daughter to toss again.
In this way, I often come to Fang's house to play, and there are only Zhou Huiru and Miss Xiao Er left.
He Jiaxian doesn't care, the children are young, and there are too many variables in the future. She was reluctant to interfere with the possibility of changing their predetermined fate.
After summer, the weather became colder day by day.
Sydney, Aunt Lin's son, Fang Qiyun, didn't know how to get cold, he kept coughing for the past few days, and he didn't get better after taking medicine.
He Jiaxian manages the inner house, mainly to take care of a few children, and he was very worried when he heard this, so he hurriedly invited the best doctor in Yanzhou City to come and see him.
Fang Qiyun looks thin, but between her eyebrows and eyes, she looks very much like Aunt Lin, she is polite, handsome and weak, which makes people feel pity at first sight.
Thinking that at the beginning, when she was pregnant, the Zhou family was pregnant with Fang Baoqian, and Aunt Lin was pregnant with Fang Qiyun, and the three of them were about the same age.
Now Ran is playful and clever, Fang Baoqian is generous and capable, but Fang Qiyun is submissive, timid as a mouse, and gets sick at every turn.
After Aunt Lin died, he was even less courageous, and he was even afraid to say a few more words to He Jiaxian and make a few more requests. In order to let him be alone, He Jiaxian rarely went to see him, for fear of forcing him to be less courageous, so he only arranged two maids who he had been familiar with since childhood and followed Aunt Lin to take care of him.
This time he was sick and saw a famous doctor, so He Jiaxian was a little worried, and went to Fang Qiyun's house in person.
Fang Qiyun was lying on the bed, his face was ashen, and he coughed violently from time to time, as if he wanted to cough out his heart and liver.
Seeing He Jiaxian coming in, he hurriedly got up and was about to salute.
He Jiaxian hurriedly held it down, but he was afraid that he would be uncomfortable, so he said: "You recover from your illness first, and then give me the gift." ”
Fang Qiyun knew that He Jiaxian had no malicious intentions, but Aunt Lin had taught him dogmas such as "don't make mistakes" for so many years, but they were deeply rooted in his mind, and he didn't dare to stop for a moment.
insisted on getting out of bed and saluting, and He Jiaxian realized how rigid and timid he was.
It was easy to persuade him to go back to bed and lie down, the thirteen-year-old boy looked beautiful and weak, which was really pitiful.
He Jiaxian made up his mind to untie his knot, but he also knew that it was not a matter of one or two days, so he would accompany him more first.
Looking through the books he studies on weekdays, his eyes are bright.
Compared with Fang Baokun, who was taught by Mr. because he was naughty and mischievous, Fang Baoqian's focus was on learning "Tao Zhu Gong Business Scripture" with the big shopkeeper, and he no longer improved after reading the enlightenment book, but Fang Qiyun's books were neat, and the new article he made was also profound and very relevant.
He Jiaxian was stunned for a moment, thinking of his master's evaluation of Fang Qiyun: "The fifth young master is willing to work hard and loves to learn." It is...... He was too timid, and when I looked at him a little during class composition, he broke out in a cold sweat and his hands were shaking...... How can such a person go to the examination room? When the time comes, he will not be able to think of anything if he is not nervous. ”
"You wrote this article?" He Jiaxian asked when he saw that the handwriting was neat.
"Back to the second sister-in-law, yes. Fang Qiyun was polite to the point of being harsh and sick: "I don't have to go to school when I'm sick these days, Bao Qian replied to the topic, and I did it when I was better." ”
"Good. "Very well written. He Jiaxian silently recited in his heart: "You hurry up and take care of your body and wait for the autumn." ”
Fang Qiyun's face turned pale when he heard this, and he hurriedly waved his hand and said, "I can't, I can't...... I...... I'm nervous...... Don't dare to say more...... Second sister-in-law, you know, I can only say a few more words to you...... Don't dare to raise your head with others...... My husband said I couldn't do it...... Don't tell me to sign up......"
"Do you know where your strengths are?" He Jiaxian analyzed his article in detail: "If you don't believe it, I will give it to the master tomorrow, and I will only say that Bao Qian did it, and you will wait for him to comment." ”
Although Fang Qiyun objected, he couldn't resist He Jiaxian's insistence.
But in his eyes, he was looking forward to it.
When it was time to get out of school on the second day, He Jiaxian showed him all the praiseworthy places circled by the master: "I didn't say that you did it, you see, his comments." ”
The review is good.
Fang Qiyun coughed and stumbled: "This ...... Sir has never said these things to me......"
That's because you give him the impression that he subconsciously thinks you can't do a good job. He Jiaxian smiled: "If you are good, I will find a way to change a gentleman, he doesn't know the original you, and he will definitely teach sincerely." ”
What He Jiaxian didn't say was that when Mr. finally heard that Fang Qiyun did it, the first thing he said was: "Who did it for him?"
is so biased and prejudiced, He Jiaxian really doesn't want him to mislead people's children.
It is very important to be a teacher, to preach and teach and solve doubts, but to be impartial, fair and fair, is not the basic virtue?
Because Fang Qiyun is a concubine, and his aunt is no longer there, he is also sick and weak, so he despises it, and he blindly cares about it, what is the use of such a gentleman?
Did you mistake the children of the Fang family?
"Second sister-in-law, don't ...... No, I can't. Fang Qiyun stumbled: "...... I'm like this, and my husband doesn't like me...... It should also be ......."
"Nonsense! What do you look like!" He Jiaxian said angrily: "People must love themselves, others will love you, you tell me, what kind of person are you? I only see my younger brother, who is quite eloquent, has outstanding articles, is handsome, filial and caring...... Tell me, what are you like?"
She used a lot of beautiful words to describe Fang Qiyun, and Fang Qiyun thought of her self-deprecating words about cowardice, no manhood, etc., but they condensed in her mouth, and some of them couldn't be said.
In fact, in He Jiaxian's opinion, if Fang Qiyun is really cowardly and useless, she will not force him to cheer up, it is a big deal to go out of a yard in the future, give him a few dowries, marry him a virtuous and bold daughter-in-law, and slowly let him have a wife and children, and take on the responsibility of a family.
But now that he has clearly found that he has no talent, how can he sit idly by and ignore it like before?
Knowing that a person has bigger and better possibilities, how can He Jiaxian give up.
Fang Qiyun looked at her, his eyes sparkled, and he stopped talking.
The appearance of wanting to say that he didn't dare to say it made He Jiaxian very angry, but she knew that she couldn't be angry at the moment, if she was angry, she was afraid that Fang Qiyun would be even more afraid.
Cleaning up his mood, He Jiaxian smiled: "Anyway, you are sick, so naturally you don't have to go there, sir, if you can pass the children's exam in one fell swoop, I will tell the second master and sign your aunt's grave to the master." ”
This is Fang Qiyun's heart disease, He Jiaxian has heard it more than once, from the mouth of the maid who served him, saying that Fang Qiyun is sick, and this is the only thing that he will never forget.
At the beginning, Aunt Lin drank poisonous wine and died after assassinating Aunt Mei, Aunt Mei hated her to the bone, and it was inconvenient to say it to the outside world, but she only mourned hastily in private, and was placed far away in the most remote corner of the Fang family cemetery.
Aunt Mei is still there, and everyone pretends to be deaf and dumb and doesn't dare to say anything.
Fang Qirui mentioned it a few times in order to take care of the overall situation, but he had to wait for Aunt Lin to move on the day when she was three years old. Later, he went out to do business, and he didn't want He Jiaxian to have a conflict with Aunt Mei over this matter, so he told him to wait for him to come back.
Therefore, there has been no silence.
At this moment, Fang Qiyun's eyes were really shining, and he suddenly came to light, and nodded: "I will definitely work hard." ”
He Jiaxian tucked the quilt corner for him, and before he could say a few words to close the distance, Sydney flashed his head outside and retracted again. He Jiaxian was afraid that Sydney had something to say, so he told him to recuperate.
Walking out, Sydney said: "The slave is afraid that she will speak loudly and quarrel with the fifth master, so it is not easy to go in." ”
He Jiaxian nodded.
Sydney approached He Jiaxian's ear and said, "The third lady is coming back." It's almost time to arrive in Yanzhou City, and the little guy over there came over to spread the word, and it is estimated that he will be able to arrive early tomorrow morning, so he asked us to prepare early. ”
He Jiaxian was stunned for a moment, why did she come back? Although there have been exchanges of letters over the years, they are just some kind words of comfort and greetings, but this time she suddenly came back, I am afraid that something will happen.
Sydney said again: "That little guy said, and the prince will also come back." ”
That's what happened. Fang Yuyan is just a concubine, how can she move the prince to accompany her back to her parents' house?
Doubts are doubts, He Jiaxian doesn't dare to slack off, the prince of the prince's family, Wen Lei she has seen, not a master to mess with.
hurriedly ordered someone to inform Aunt Mei, and arranged the house up and down.
When Aunt Mei heard that Fang Yuyan was back, she was overjoyed, and said to He Jiaxian for the first time: "You don't know much about the doorway here, so you don't notice it for a while, and you offend the prince." Why don't I come? ”
Aunt Mei's background is prominent, and He Jiaxian knows it. It is also the first time to receive the prince, and it is indeed not good to lose the number of courtesies.
Moreover, Fang Yuyan is Aunt Mei's biological daughter, and the joy on her face is not pretended, so He Jiaxian relieved to hand over all the matters to her.
The two men worked together like never before.
I was busy until the third watch, and I saw that I was almost ready, and then I fell asleep tiredly.
At noon the next day, the carriage of the palace arrived at Fang's house, accompanied by Xiao Jinan.
Aunt Mei didn't have to wait for them to freshen up and change their clothes at all, the yard was packed up and arranged yesterday, exquisite and luxurious, I have to say that Aunt Mei's talent and ability in this area are indeed not to be underestimated.
The prince has grown a lot of calm and old, came in to take a look, but there was nothing dissatisfied, nodded and sat down, and said to the maids: "You don't have to wait, Aunt Yan can wait." ”
Fang Yuyan's eyes were bright, not the appearance of compromises as He Jiaxian thought, and the arrogance when he was in the Fang family was completely eliminated, but he was neither slow nor slow, neither humble nor arrogant, and nodded with a warm smile.
When I change my clothes and come out, I will be more and more radiant.
He Jiaxian is not good at socializing, and Aunt Mei leads the way in front. Along the way, they were told what the newly built pavilion was called, what courtyard was added, and who was living there.
Except for Fang Qiyun, who was sick and couldn't get up, all the children didn't go to school today, and honestly followed He Jiaxian.
The prince Wen Lei was probably not interested in the other party's mansion, and he didn't even use the meal prepared in advance after walking all the way, so he went to the Hou Mansion with Xiao Jinan to remember.
Since the Hou Mansion beat Xiao Jinping and went to other places to perform his duties, the inside was empty. Later, it was given to someone else, and it was moved out less than a year later, and it was left vacant again.
In fact, except for the mansion, there is nothing worth seeing inside, the prince and Xiao Jin'an, more of them still meet with old friends from the past.
The two of them didn't return overnight, and no one dared to ask.
Since Fang Yuyan left, she was relaxed, sat in the first place with a smile, and asked Aunt Mei about the cold, but chatted with He Jiaxian about disciplining the child.
Aunt Mei sat awkwardly and wanted to interject from time to time, but Fang Yuyan didn't give her this opportunity at all.
As he was talking, the third lady, the fifth lady and several old men all came over, although they didn't salute Fang Yuyan, but that kind of sycophancy also opened He Jiaxian's eyes.
Aunt Mei also mentioned before that since the prince has come, she should let the rest of the rooms come to worship together.
It's just that Fang Yuyan is not the main room in the end, so it is inevitable that there will be a suspicion of a fox and a fake tiger, if the prince thinks that the Fang family is going to be polished, it will not be good.
He Jiaxian thought that they didn't post in advance, but only sent a small servant to report the news after they walked to Yanzhou City, obviously because they didn't want to make a big splash, so they rejected Aunt Mei's proposal.
Unexpectedly, they still heard the wind and moved.
Fang Yuyan's face stiffened with a smile, and the fifth lady praised her for her good maintenance, like a twenty-eight girl.
Fang Yuyan glanced at Aunt Mei, and suddenly said with a smile: "I have received all the letters written by my aunt. ”
The fifth lady didn't expect her to suddenly bring up this matter, so she was startled, and subconsciously went to see Aunt Mei, and then to see the third lady.
Aunt Mei didn't think that she would suddenly bring it up, this was a private affair, and it was unsightly.
As soon as his heart tightened, he signaled Fang Yuyan with his eyes not to talk nonsense.
Fang Yuyan seemed to have received it, and after a change of words, he said with a smile: "I just received the letter and came back." Look at the aunts, and look at the aunts. "A few masters have already left after visiting the prince and having no way.
The third lady and the fifth lady were particularly happy when they said this, and they seemed to take it seriously with a smile: "Look at you, we also want to go to the capital to see you, but we are afraid that our status is low, and we will not be allowed to enter the palace gate." ”
Fang Yuyan smiled awkwardly, as if she intended to find fault: "Fifth aunt, what I said, if I was that small-minded, I would have misunderstood." ”
Fang Yuyan is a concubine, and the people in her mother's family will not walk around as serious relatives.
The fifth lady also knew that her words were ambiguous and prone to ambiguity, so she hurriedly corrected them: "What is the misunderstanding? If it is someone else, it may be misunderstood." Now look at the love of the prince for you, you know that it is impossible to misunderstand. Reputation or something, although important, is not the most important. Saying that, he glanced at Aunt Mei and said with a smile: "Look at Aunt Isn't it too, she has still been the head of the Fang family for so long." If it weren't for her poor health, she would still be in charge of the house now. ”
Aunt Mei was even more embarrassed, and it was difficult to pick up this conversation. She wanted to continue to be a housekeeper, but who knew that He Jiaxian would not hand over power.
