Chapter 135: Night Terrors
"No, I just remembered it temporarily, so I asked you."
Yu shook his head, his brow furrowed even tighter. She coincided with her husband and son returning to Beijing these days, and she was worried about the situation in the old Beijing, so she couldn't sleep well at night, if she heard correctly, yesterday she clearly noticed that someone was shaking a few times in the guest room and went downstairs.
Because the guest room is now occupied by her and Chen Fangfei, she thought that Chen Fangfei got up at night, and asked Na Lin to go out to take a look, and if she saw Chen Fangfei, she would call her in and say something. Na Lin went out to take a look, Chen Fangfei's door was closed, and there was no light, not like she was getting up at night. Thinking about it again at this time, she intuitively felt very uneasy in her heart, and she really didn't want to think that it would be Tan Rulin running upstairs from the study. But Chen Fangfei's child she has always watched, she is an honest person, she shouldn't have so many fancy intestines.
Hearing Zhong Qing's words today, she didn't dare to guarantee Chen Fangfei's character, but when there was no evidence, she couldn't be suspicious in front of Zhong Qing, so she covered up and persuaded him: "Uncle is very tired after a busy day in the yamen, and when you return home, you don't serve tea and pour water, don't be angry with him again." This man's heart is the most fickle, when you are good to him, he will naturally be good to you; If you treat him badly, then he will have to be a hundred times worse than you to be willing. ”
This is enough to be regarded as experience, Zhongqing has grown up under her mother's knees for many years, and of course she can understand the meaning of the words, she was stunned for a moment, and then came back to her senses and chuckled: "My temper mother knows best, and she can't rub sand in her eyes." I know very well who is good and who is bad. I don't think he dares to play tricks under my nose. ”
"He doesn't dare? He ate the ambition leopard dare not dare? ”
Yu sneered, she didn't want to say so much to her daughter. In order to avoid the suspicion of sowing discord. But seeing her daughter so confident, I am afraid that she will be too complacent and damaged. I had to warn her: "The world says that women are the most fickle, but this is not the case. The most fickle thing in the world is a man's mouth, and the most difficult to guess is a man's heart, when he sees you as good, you are crying and grabbing the ground, and he will also say that you are 'pear blossoms with rain'; when he sees you badly, you are bent to welcome, and in his eyes you are just willing to be cheap. You are now in the prime of life, and you are young and beautiful. After three or five years, when you look in the mirror again, you can see that there are people who are younger and more beautiful than you, and they will even be gentler than you, more considerate than you, and more in his eyes than you. When that happens, if you say that he doesn't dare, it's just a joke in the world. ”
This is more sensitive than the previous few words, and it really hurts people's nerves. If Zhongqing couldn't hear who her mother was referring to, it would be a big fool. But what if you understand? She couldn't believe it. After chattering for a long time, he smiled awkwardly: "What Mom said is too serious, Fang Fei is not that kind of person." I just saw her as honest and dignified. was willing to reach out to help her, so as not to let her parents sell her as an object. She doesn't care about anything else, but she remembers my kindness. Nor should you do that. ”
"What's wrong?" Yu sneered, as if he was despising Bo Zhongqing's kindness. "In this world, laughing at poverty does not laugh at prostitution. You treat people with great care. Others don't necessarily treat you with a lot of heart, I'm just a reminder to you, you have to live your own life, and you don't have to mix with outsiders all day long, which is not very like words. ”
It's not that she doesn't have long eyes, in the past few days, because Zhongqing has Chen Fangfei at home, Tai Ban's housework has been spread out, and Chen Fangfei is in charge of the decision. No matter how good a girl is, after all, she is not a member of the family, separated by a layer of belly, who knows what kind of mind is hidden in her chest? Moreover, the town guard makes the family have a great cause, Tan Rulin is in the prime of life, and he can be regarded as a talent, any girl who has not been out of the cabinet has been with him for a long time, and says that he has no ideas, who will believe it? The second elder of the Chen family would rather sell his children and daughters for the sake of wealth and wealth, but Chen Fangfei doesn't have this thought, so do you know if her parents have it? After so many years of life, there are more people who have changed their original intentions for the sake of wealth, and she has seen countless people. It's a pity that Zhong Qing has less than 20 years of experience than her, and he is young in the end, and he doesn't know how powerful he is.
Zhongqing choked her mother back with a few words, and her originally stable mind couldn't help but make waves, but after all, she was dissatisfied with what her mother said was so unbearable, so she smiled stubbornly: "This is also my mother's worry, I want to talk to my mother after I settle down today, but unfortunately there is such a twist, then I will say it first, and we should all be at ease." I have arranged the marriage of Miss Chen Jiabiao, Mrs. Lu, who lives next door to her fourth sister, she also has a second son, named Lu Jianpeng, who is still studying in the school and will graduate after the New Year. The person is the fourth sister and Fang Fei, they have all seen it, it is said that they are good-looking, very talented, and the same age as Fang Fei. I think with Fang Fei's conditions, if you want to find a high place, it is not easy, if you find it low, I will regret that I have buried such a good person as her. So I came up with an idea to let Ru Lin find a fat gap in their yamen, insert Lu Jianpeng into it, and then we will come forward to match the two of them. In this way, Fang Fei will neither climb anyone nor bury anyone when she marries him, and she can get both wealth and wealth. Mom, what do you think of my idea? ”
She is articulate, and she makes a rather complicated matter simple and easy, and it is in line with Yu's thoughts, and she also plans to let Zhongqing marry Chen Fangfei as soon as possible. Now that there is such a good thing, of course Yu is willing, so he said: "You have a very good idea, and you have a lot of concerns, but I will worry about you for nothing." ”
"How could Mom worry about it in vain?" Zhong Qing was praised by him, and his heart was happy, so he hugged one of Yu's arms and said coquettishly, "I learned these things from your old man, you don't have to worry about who cares." ”
"Poor girl."
Yu nodded her forehead, then laughed, and said, "Among the four children, you are the most similar to me, and you are the most reassuring to me." But you are not your father, and your father would rather have less than more, so he always tried his best to endure me. I see that your temper is on par with yours, and there must be one person between husband and wife who is willing to sacrifice and endure in order to be peaceful, if he can't bear it, you can endure it, and it's not a shameful thing. ”
"I naturally understand that."
Zhong Qing snorted on his face and said so, but he didn't think so in private. If she doesn't avoid it, Tan Rulin's arrogance is already arrogant enough, and if she wants to avoid it, is there still a place for her in this mansion? Therefore, what her mother said was just a superficial promise, and she forgot about it when she turned her head.
However, her mother remembered another thing, pulled her and asked, "Does Miss Chen of the Chen family know about marrying the Lu family?" ”
Zhong Qing smiled: "She is an important person, how could she not know?" I just told her yesterday, and I see that she agrees with her very much, and she must have repaid the favor to that Mr. Lu. Girls drag on until they are twenty years old and do not get married, and when they see young and ambitious men, they are inevitably not moved. - Or maybe it's true that the two of them are destined, or it wouldn't be sooner or later, but Fang Fei met him? I'm going to be a month old this time. ”
"Now that she knows, it's much easier."
Yu nodded, there were a lot of bureaucrats in the yamen, even Tan Rulin couldn't draw vacancies, she asked Li Lanzao and his wife to help, and she could always find a small official to send to Lu Jianpeng. To be honest, for Chen Fangfei, before the facts are clarified, she doesn't want her to enter the sea of fire of the second elder of the Chen family, so as not to spoil a good girl.
It's just that I don't know how many days it will take for this thing to be done, and she and Wanchun will set off on these two days, and if she doesn't watch things settle down, she is always worried in her heart, and it is difficult to calm down. So he asked Zhongqing again: "When do you plan to marry the Lu family?" ”
Zhong Qing said with a smile: "How dare you rush into a big marriage event? I'm afraid that it won't be set for ten days and a half months. ”
Yu said: "Then, we can't catch up, and your fourth sister and I will go back to Jiujing in two days." ”
Zhong Qing knew that her mother was worried about the marriage between her eldest brother and Zhang Manzhi, and she couldn't persuade her to stay a few more days, so she said: "Although Fang Fei lives with me, she is not from our family after all, it is enough for me and Ru Lin to make a lot of money for her, and my mother and fourth sister don't need to worry too much." On this return trip, do you still want to take the bus you came to go back? ”
Yu shook his head and said, "Regarding the question of the car, let's talk about it when we leave." I've already figured out that you can go through the discharge procedures for Nannan tomorrow, and we'll leave the day after tomorrow. ”
"The day after tomorrow?" Zhong Qing stared at her eyebrows in surprise, and intuitively felt that the time was too urgent, but her mother's mind had been decided, and she would not be easily dispelled, so she had to say, "Then I will ask someone to buy some things for my mother and fourth sister to bring back, but I can't come in vain, the third brother is only afraid that he is still worried in the old capital, I will let people see if there is a gift suitable for him, and my mother will bring it back to block his mouth, and finally I, the elder sister, have not forgotten him." ”
"It's up to you."
Yu smiled lightly, they have a deep brotherhood, after all, they are well educated, but they don't stop her. Zhong Qing had a word from her mother, so naturally she couldn't slack off, and after chatting a few words, she asked Na Lin to wait for Yu to rest, and when she went out of the room, she called Hou Shenglai and told him to go to the street to see more, but there were any fun and fresh things.
Hou Shengyuan was Tan Rulin's subordinate general, and he was the most popular in his work, and after Zhongqing's orders, he got in the car and left the mansion and went straight to the street. He has been talking to Zhong Qing for two years, and he has heard her talk a lot about family affairs, and for several young masters and young ladies of the Li family, he has never heard of his name, and he knows that the third young master of the Li family has a stubborn temperament and likes strange things the most, so after going to the street, he didn't look at those shops with bright gold, silver and jewelry, and went straight to the antique calligraphy and painting halls.
