If Chen Shizi deliberately went to investigate this matter, the first person he would find would definitely be Fang Fei's mother's house.

The person who went to the Fang family to deliver the message was personally arranged by Grand Steward Zhao, and there would be no problem.

But in just half a day, the Fang family had received so much unbelievable news, and it was unknown whether they could digest it.

"Well, you might as well take a trip." The old ancestor thought about it and felt that it was most appropriate for Fang Fei to go back in person.

But Fang Fei has just gotten married, even if the three dynasties return to the door is not enough, not to mention that her 'husband' has just passed away, it is reasonable that Fang Fei should not go back to her parents' house at this moment.

"But what should I think of?" The old ancestor pondered.

This reason should not only make everyone in the Zhao family take it for granted, but also convince Chen Shizi.

Fang Fei had already prepared, took a blue account book that he had brought over, and said while flipping the page: "Ancestor, I looked through the account book for this wedding preparation in the morning. ”

"You see, the rice is two taels of silver and one stone, I took a look at it, and the color is average." Fang Fei pointed to one of them and said, "There are also many families in the Fang family who farm, and every year the newly harvested rice with good color cannot be sold for one or two silver and a bucket. ”

When the ancestor heard it, he knew that it was boring.

But the Zhao family has a lot of things, the ancestor has always been in charge of the big and let go of the small, as long as the people in charge of purchasing don't do too outrageous, the ancestor has always opened one eye and closed one eye.

Therefore, the descendants of the Zhao family have mastered the temperament of the ancestors, and they naturally dare not do anything for a large amount, but it is common to make small profits.

Usually, the old ancestor didn't bother to care, but now that he mentioned it, he said, "What are you going to do?" ”

"The Fang family are all honest farmers, and they have worked hard for a year, but they can't make as much money as these merchants make when they change hands." Fang Fei first sighed, and then said: "It's all the same thing, why bother to let those merchants make black money, I plan to buy it directly from the Fang family in the future." ”

The Zhao family has hundreds of people, and after cooking a meal a day, one bucket of rice is not enough, and it is enough to have hundreds of buckets of rice in a year.

I spent a few hundred taels of silver more, but I got the same rice!

"Whether it's distant relatives or close relatives, the Fang family is your mother's family after all, and you should help them." The old ancestor nodded and agreed, "Let's do it, you go back in person." ”

With the consent of the ancestors, Fang Fei no longer stayed.

After seeing Fang Fei leave, Mother Wu entered the house and said worriedly: "Ancestor, do you need to send more people to 'escort' Mrs. Tai back to her parents' house?" ”

'Escort' is fake, 'surveillance' is real.

Fang Fei is now the widow of the righteous Mrs. Zhao, if she escapes, first, Chen Shizi will be suspicious, and second, it will be a great shame for the Zhao family.

The old ancestor closed his eyelids, smiled mysteriously, and said, "No need, she won't escape." ”

"How can the old ancestor be so sure?" Mother Wu persuaded, "After all, it is difficult to know the face of a person." ”

Fang Fei is only seventeen this year, and he is in the prime of his life, so he thinks about it and changes it to himself, and he will definitely not be willing to be a widow in the Zhao family for a lifetime!

The agreement between the Old Ancestor and Fang Fei was not known to a third party, and the Old Ancestor didn't want a third party to know!

Hearing Wu's mother's worries, the old ancestor only smiled faintly and explained: "If the monk can't run away from the temple, didn't she just want to help her mother's family, how could she escape." ”

This explanation is reasonable.

Mother Wu thought about it, and then worried about another thing, and then blurted out: "Ancestor, if Fang Fei's mother's family becomes bigger, Fang Fei will be able to do it in the future."

But it's just covering the sky with one hand!

Fang Fei has a special status in the Zhao family, his seniority is extremely high, and he also has some means, if he adds a solid mother's family as a backing, the result can be imagined

"A group of reckless people in the village, why be afraid? You're too careful, too. The old ancestor interrupted, raised his eyes and glanced at Mother Wu, and said: "She is the wife of the Zhao family, don't name her name in the future, you can call it how you want, you are also taught by me, you should not commit these taboos." ”

In contemporary times, if the younger generation calls the name of the elder, it will be charged with the crime of disobedience, which is a great mistake.

If an unmarried girl has a reputation of 'disobedience', she will definitely not be able to marry a good family in this life, the reason is very simple, she does not respect her relatives in her mother's family, and will she respect the elders of her mother-in-law's family? Men are no exception, once the hat of 'disobedience' is worn, the future of this life is completely ruined.

In the same way, the subordinates can't call the master by his name, which is a big taboo.

To go from Zhaojia Town to Fangjia Village, you must cross the Luo River.

South of the Qinluo River is Zhaojia Town, hundreds of years ago, by the imperial court to the Zhao family ancestors, with the change of the years, Zhaojia Town is no longer the town of the year, prosperous Cheng dù compared to the county, can only be more than that.

The town is lined with shops and a wide variety of goods, and traders from all over the world come here to sell their hometown specialties, making the whole town more prosperous.

But this prosperity has little to do with the Zhao family.

The Zhao family believes in the tenet of 'everything is inferior, only reading is high', and the descendants of the younger generations are all from the literature, and no one is from business. Therefore, the Zhao family's land and property were all sold or rented to others for operation.

Since Mrs. Zhao led the big house back to his hometown, the Zhao family's income was only the rent of the fields and shops, which reduced the Zhao family's living standard a lot.

After lunch, the monks who came to chant the scriptures were invited to continue reciting the scriptures, and the eldest lord took the big room to kneel in front of the spirit and burn paper. Fang Fei called Zhou's mother, took two family members, went out from the east gate of the backyard, and quietly came to the edge of the ferry.

There were several large ships for transporting goods at the ferry, and the coolies who loaded and unloaded the goods were sweating and working, Fang Fei passed through the crowd and led Zhou's mother and her party to get on a small boat that only ferried people across the river.

"Mrs. Zhao is so interested, where is this going?"

As soon as he entered the warehouse, Fang Fei was stunned on the spot.

In the cabin sat several passengers who crossed the river together, dressed as standard croppers, with friendly smiles on their faces, mellow and simple.

Only behind the low table near the bulkhead sat a man in fine clothes, who was pouring wine into the cup with one hand holding a pot while talking.

The face is like a crown of jade, the plump and handsome, the thin lips are pursed with a hint of a shallow smile, and the eyes of the narrow phoenix eyes cast at Fang Fei are deep and bright, as if they have cut a pool of Luohe River into it.

The boy in white sat in a group of unpretentious croppers, and he seemed to be out of the dust, like an immortal who didn't know the fireworks in the world.

Fang Fei was stunned, and was stunned on the spot, and he was stunned in his heart, and he shivered unconsciously.
