Chapter 40: Dirty Water
The moon is full of quiet and elegant, the breeze blows, only the sound of the piano and the rustle of bamboo leaves. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½
The quarrel in the bamboo forest is especially loud.
The distinguished guests who came to see the excitement listened to the words of Mrs. Zhang Er and her daughter, and a trace of disdain and disdain flashed in everyone's eyes. It turns out that this is the married husband of Fang Wanru, the daughter of the Fang family!
Originally, Young Master Zhang stood out among the scholars of the country and aroused the envy of many people, but now he can marry Miss Fang Jiayan and be promoted to the secretary of the Hanlin Academy, which is even more impressive.
But this time he was so troubled by the Zhang family, and everyone's good impression of Master Zhang in their hearts plummeted in an instant.
also looked at the Fang family's jokes.
I don't know what Old Man Fang likes about the Zhang family, could it be that Miss Yan and Young Master Zhang of the Fang family have already cooked raw rice and cooked rice, so Old Man Fang has to agree to this family business?
A family like the Zhang family who can't get on the stage, even if it is upside down, it is impossible for the noble family in the capital to swallow it!
Ling Xiang sobbed and told the distinguished guests by the lotus pond about the ins and outs of the whole matter, and by the way, she added fuel and vinegar to how Mrs. Zhang Er bullied others, how she relied on the power of the Fang family to bully the daughter-in-law of the ready-to-wear shop, and how she arrogantly and unreasonably wanted to arrest her own young lady and deal with it privately.
The words were heartfelt, and the tone was soft, describing the arrogance of the Zhang family vividly.
All the distinguished guests present were moved.
ā¦ā¦
Fang Xin in the bamboo forest glared at Zhang Yao fiercely, and his handsome face turned slightly red from anger.
"Who allowed you to use your private power! Arrest people indiscriminately! He said in a deep voice, clenching his fists tightly, trying to restrain his anger from erupting.
The Fang family is a scholarly family, and the father of the family is a four-rank court official, and he has adhered to his own discipline for many years, and he will never dare to make a mistake and take a wrong step.
But the Zhang family is good, and they take their Fang family everywhere to act as a tiger, ruining the reputation of the Fang family!
Zhang Yao looked at Fang Xin's angry face in horror, and sat on the ground in fright.
Who would have thought that Second Prince Fang would suddenly appear in the bamboo forest!
Mrs. Zhang Er was very frightened, and the servants behind her were also frightened, trembling and not saying a word.
Yuan Xiang took advantage of the moment when the two nurses who were clasping her shoulders were stunned, suddenly broke free from their big palms, and ran to Su Ximei's side as soon as she slipped away.
Seeing this, Mrs. Zhang Er calmed down, and pulled an awkward and far-fetched smile on her face.
"It turns out that Erlang is also here!" She said flatteringly, "I knew that Erlang was also there, we should have handed over the girl to Erlang Faluo, before Mrs. Fang San came out for our mother, but that girl disappeared without a trace, and now she happened to be seen by my mother-in-law, originally we thought about it, but after thinking about it, the girl was not inferior to slander the Fang family, we can't let her not take the Fang family in her eyes, besides, Fang Cai's words are just to scare and scare her, just to let her say where her young lady is, We can also get justice. ā
This is said decently, and every word is to protect the face of the Fang family.
It's like when she was in the ready-to-wear shop that day, she offended not the Zhang family, but the Fang family.
Zhang Yao saw that Fang Ergongzi was silent, thinking that he believed his mother's words, and immediately stepped forward to pick up the words: "Brother Xin, it is their master and servant who are arrogant and unreasonable, and they have to rob me of the dress I like, I said that this dress was worn when the eldest brother and Sister Wanru got married, but the young lady didn't take the Fang family in her eyes at all, and insulted that the dress was only worn by ordinary maids, Brother Xin, isn't she bullying our Zhang family by saying this?" It also affected the reputation of the Fang family, and our Zhang family really can't stand the Fang family. ā
Zhang Yao cried low as she spoke, it was really as pitiful as pear blossoms with rain.
"You don't want to spew blood!" Yuan Xiang was anxious, and opened her mouth to retort, "Obviously, that dress was selected by Ah Niu's daughter-in-law for us first, you have to shout that you want to fight and make trouble, and you have to ask the Fang family to stand up for you, Ah Niu's daughter-in-law said a fair word, but she was bullied by your Zhang family and couldn't even buy a mouthful of fresh fruits and vegetables, but it was a pity that their family could only eat rotten vegetable leaves and radish skins for most of the month!" Your Zhang family has climbed into a good family business, and they go around to play with people and bullies, and oppress the diligent and honest good people! ā
"Erlang, you must not be fooled by her words, she is dividing the affection of our two families." Mrs. Zhang's face changed, and she hurriedly stepped forward and said.
Ah Niu's daughter-in-law's matter is true, as long as the Fang family investigates carefully, they can find out the truth.
At this point, she could only blame all the blame on the veiled woman.
Master Fang is a court official, there will inevitably be opposing ministers who are always looking for the mistakes of the Fang family, if the two of them are instigated by someone and lost their minds, then this instigated person is the culprit of ill-intentioned intentions!
Zhang Yao sobbed lowly, and her expression was full of unspeakable grievances.
In this way, it seems that he was bullied by Su Ximei's master and servant.
The corners of Mrs. Zhang's second wife brought a bitter smile to her mouth.
Su Ximei has to admit that the tacit understanding between the mother and daughter is really not ordinarily good.
However, Fang Xin is not as easy to fool as the women in the house, how can she easily believe the "heartfelt words" they say.
What's more, he heard it really well outside the bamboo forest just now, it didn't seem like there was any unspeakable obscurity about the mother and daughter!
But those who can come to the full moon building are all high-ranking nobles in the capital, and now the Zhang family is indeed engaged to their Fang family, if the Zhang family's morality is corrupted, their Fang family will also be ridiculed and branded.
The Fang family has always attached great importance to the door style, and his father will definitely not allow anything that insults his lintel to happen.
"Second wife, the one you mentioned earlier is this young lady who had a dispute with you, right?" Thinking of this, Fang Xin asked.
Mrs. Zhang Er hesitated for a moment, then nodded.
Seeing this, Fang Xin turned around and bowed to Su Ximei.
"Girl, for the sake of the chess game we played just now, whether it is the previous events or the unpleasantness that happened today, how about ending here?"
The second son of the Fang family is really powerful!
Mrs. Zhang Er framed her for dividing the affection between the Zhang family and the Fang family.
Fang Ergongzi pushed the boat down the river, only mentioned the previous dispute, but didn't ask why, and more importantly, he did not deny Mrs. Zhang's words, so since then, the two parties have their own words, and it is obvious that the fault is in the Zhang family, but it makes people feel that there may be another hidden meaning in this matter.
I'm afraid that some people will think that Fang Ergongzi is really bewitched by her, so they don't ask in detail, which is right or wrong in this dispute, just like looking at the moon in the fog, the truth and the false can't just look at the surface.
If you think about it carefully, some people will probably think that Mrs. Zhang's dispute with others is just someone with ulterior motives who wants to destroy the relationship between the two families of the Zhang family and the Fang family. This involves the open and secret battles in the court, and the second son of Fang quietly splashed dirty water on opponents with different political views.
