Chapter Seventy-Five: The Oolong Incident (3)
Fang Yumu blew the boiling tea, took a sip slightly, and then put it down, looked at the eldest lady, and said with a smile: "Madame's words are biased, that day. You did ask me if Zhou Daren Peiyu was given by Yumu, although I didn't deny it, but I didn't admit it? How did it come to my wife's mouth, but it became my Li Dai Taozhuang? Madame knows my temperament, and I am a little arrogant, how can I do such an unseemly thing? ”
The words choked the eldest lady, and her face was even more red and white for a while, and she was ashamed and annoyed in her heart but couldn't speak, and finally smiled bitterly: "Everyone blames me for being self-righteous, I didn't believe it, but now I believe it!" ”
Fang Yumu smiled again: "Don't be annoyed, take a sip of tea!" Before the rain, I was rewarded by the palace, and this water was the peach blossom rain on the West Lake in the south of the Yangtze River. Madame can try it, it has a different taste. ”
"I'm not drinking Tiji tea today, Zhenwei is still waiting for a letter outside the house!" The eldest lady hurriedly waved her hand and said, "Fang has made it clear to your father that the Zhou family will bear the blame, and the young lady can rest assured." ”
Fang Yumu's eyes narrowed, his expression darkened, and he said lightly: "Although my father responded, he was so angry that he couldn't do anything, you don't have to take it seriously." I just want to ask Madame, which woman is the person in Lord Zhou's heart? But what about Miss Cao in General Cao's mansion? ”
"After this, there is no clarity, and I dare not say anything." The eldest lady said sullenly, picked up the tea and took a few sips.
"That's her!" Fang Yumu gritted her teeth, her face was already full of sorrow when she looked at the eldest lady, and her words were sad: "Then Miss Cao is fierce and arrogant, throwing the whip at Lord Zhou has become a joke among the people, won't the eldest lady be worried about getting along in the future?" Although our family is not more powerful than her family, it is also from an official family, and it is generally a head. I fell in love with my wife again, and I got along very well. Where is it inferior to her? ”
She choked up and continued: "I have received all the gifts for the engagement and return, and I am not at fault, how can I say that I will return my relatives?" Although Lord Zhou is willing to bear the notoriety by himself, I am absolutely unwilling. ”
"How can this be?" The eldest lady was a little flustered, and Aunt Li hurriedly smiled and said, "Why is Miss Fang so stubborn!" You are a learned, naturally understand that the twisted melon is not sweet, I have here the eldest young master of the Shangshu family, the third young master of the Yushi family, and the fifth young master of the servant family, all of them are a top character, and the custodian lady likes it! ”
Fang Yumu's face sank, and he scolded Aunt Li: "You are also the best red medium in the city, you know the rules inside, and since you have come forward to protect the good media, something has gone wrong, you should go around in the middle of the house, persuade and not persuade you to leave, but you are frolicking here, blindly breaking up me and Lord Zhou, what is the reason?" But take advantage of people? Say it, I'll take you more! ”
Aunt Li was bored, got up and walked out in annoyance, and only said, "Count me too much!" It's up to you! Inform me of the results and you'll be done! ”
The eldest lady's purple head and swollen face were silent, like sitting on pins and needles, Fang Yumu chuckled: "Then Aunt Li is shy, I scolded her twice, Madame don't go to heart, you mentioned earlier, Lord Zhou has been marching and fighting, and he has never been with the girl's family, and he may feel good when he encounters one, but in fact, it is not." I'm no worse than Miss Cao, and after the future, Lord Zhou will feel my benefits! Mrs. will mention the divorce, and I have to ask Mrs. to say more words of mercy for me in front of Lord Zhou! ”
She glanced at the maid standing beside her, who was busy in front of the eldest lady and presented the brocade box of colorful butterflies and flowers.
Fang Yumu said with a smile: "This is the pomegranate incense that the Queen Mother rewarded before the festival, I have been thinking about taking it with my wife, and I have always delayed this matter. ”
"Such a valuable thing, it's better for Yumu to keep it for herself!" The eldest lady excused herself, but her eyes were shining, and she only lingered.
Wan'er smiled and stuffed it into her hand and said, "Madame, let's take it!" What my young lady said she wanted to give away, she must give it away. If the lady doesn't like it, she will dispose of it! ”
"What's not to like!" The eldest lady was busy: "It's hard to buy something for a thousand dollars, it's too late to be rare!" ”
Wan'er looked at Fang Yumu again, looked back at the eldest lady and smiled: "My young lady was invited by Princess Xinyang, and she will go to the palace in a while, so it is inconvenient to sit with her ...... wife!" ”
The eldest lady was obedient to Mingyin, exchanged a few polite words with Fang Yumu, and then went out with Wan'er, looking at the figure becoming more and more blurred, she lost her smile in an instant, only clenched her silver teeth tightly, and her face became more and more cold
Zhou Zhenwei looked at the eldest lady's face and knew that things were not as simple as he thought. Then inadvertently shook the corner of the brocade box hidden in her sleeve, and her heart suddenly sank, and her expression became solemn and cold.
"Zhenwei, the young lady of the Fang family refuses to withdraw from her family, so it's better to go with the flow, and if you see what you like in the future, you can also take a concubine!"
Before she finished speaking, Zhou Zhenwei said impatiently: "Auntie, please go back!" Zhenwei this matter, since the accounting. Please don't make another incident! ”
Zhou Zhenwei knew that his attitude was reckless and his words were blunt, as in the past, he would never have done such a disrespectful act.
But now, glancing at the embarrassed appearance of the eldest aunt, he pursed his lips and turned around and walked towards the doorkeeper.
After a while, the little girl came back and said: "My young lady said, since it has been decided, you have to abide by the etiquette, it is inconvenient to meet Lord Zhou again, if the adult has something, you can let the red media Aunt Li come to pass the word, as for the divorce, I hope the adult will not mention it again!" ”
"I'm sorry for you to help me pass it on again, she doesn't want to see her, so I'll stay in front of the door and wait until she wants to see her!" Zhou Zhenwei took two handfuls of silver and begged the little guy with courtesy.
The little guy was a man who saw the money, weighed the weight, approached him with a smile on his face, and said softly: "My young lady is going to the palace today, and she will come out in half an hour, and the adults can wait by the side!" ”
Zhou Zhenwei thanked him and stood silently on the side of the door, carefully straightening out the causes and consequences of this matter, thinking about how to deal with it.
But he didn't realize that the spring rain was continuous, and he was already drenched, and he didn't know whether it was hot sweat or rain on his face, which seemed to be misty and steaming, covering the expression on his face densely.
The two vermilion gates "squeaked" open, a carriage slowly drove out, Zhou Zhenwei flew up, blocked in front of the car, and said to the stunned maid: "Please pass on your young lady, I have something to say to her!" ”
The maid hurriedly walked to the front of the court, and replied in a low way through the bead curtain, and after a while, she walked in front of Zhou Zhenwei and saluted back: "My young lady asked Lord Zhou to talk in front of the window!" ”
