060 Marriage
Back at Green Jade Pavilion, it was still early, Fang Fei was lying on the chaise longue and looked for a book to read to pass the time.
"Madame, let's eat some fruit." Mother Zhou came over with a fruit plate, put it on the small square table on the couch, and said with a smile: "It's still the old ancestor's face, I'm still worried that Grandma Song will complain about you, looking at this situation today, the eldest grandmother didn't go to her heart at all, now I'm relieved." ”
"Grandma Song is a general knowledge, and she has a clear distinction between right and wrong, so she naturally won't be more serious." Fang Fei glanced at her and said lightly.
Zhou's mother was so happy in her heart that she couldn't stop talking about it.
Fang Fei listened on the side, but he kept thinking about the things in the shop, and from time to time he said a few words, until it was almost the third watch, and then he went back to the bedroom to rest.
Because he wanted to go back to his parents' house, the next day, Fang Fei got up early in the morning, hastily had breakfast, and went to the housekeeper's room to take care of the housework and arrange chores.
Zhou's mother stayed to choose gifts, and she couldn't let Fang Fei go back to her parents' house empty-handed every time, the last time she went in a hurry, and the old lady passed away, so she didn't have time to prepare. When Tian saw Zhou's mother, the first thing he said was, 'Yo, our eldest girl is coming back?' How to be empty-handed? ’
The neighbors all watched, fortunately Fang Fei was not there at that time, otherwise, he would not have died of embarrassment.
When Fang Fei came back from the steward's room, Zhou's mother also prepared gifts and handed them to Fang Fei to look at them one by one.
There are a total of four people in the family, and most of the supplements are prepared for Tian's family, and the two girls under their names chose some clothes to make clothes for them, and picked out some hairpin jewelry, earrings and other gadgets that the girls like to use, anyway, the mother and daughter can't tell the difference.
Fang Pei is the younger brother of Fang Fei's mother, and he is studying, so Zhou's mother found someone who knows how to do it and picked out the four treasures of the first-class study. I sealed it as a present.
After coming back, Zhou's mother handed over the gift list, Fang Fei roughly swept it, nodded, told Zhou's mother to pack, and went to the study in person, picked out a few ancient books and stuffed them into the gift for Fang Pei. At last. and asked Zhou's mother to prepare an extra gift for ordinary gifts.
After taking care of it, Shuilian was left to watch the house as usual, and Zhou's mother picked two little girls. I went to the front yard to find the steward of Zhao and asked for four nurses who knew some kung fu, and the group went out from the corner gate, passed through Zhaojia Town, and walked to the ferry.
The rainstorm season has passed. The water level of the Luo River is flat, and the river is no longer turbulent. The boat walked steadily, and in a short time it reached the opposite shore.
"Mother Zhou, you take them to my mother's house first. I'll pick up Ah Pei from town. As soon as he got off the boat, Fang Fei instructed Zhou's mother.
"Let them go by themselves, I'll pick up Young Master Pei with you." Zhou's mother was not at ease. Thinking back to the last time, I still have lingering palpitations.
"They don't know the way." Fang Fei pulled Zhou's mother away a few steps. Only then did he say: "You also know my Erniang, you should go over in person, so that they don't have to go back to laugh, I will pick up Ah Pei and come over." ”
Mother Zhou squinted at the people who followed behind her, thinking about Tian's snarky appearance, if she was looked at by these people, she didn't know what it would be like when she went back, Fang Fei's worries were not unreasonable.
"Why don't I let those boys follow you?" Mother Zhou was still not at ease, and raised her chin at a few family members on the side.
"No need, I got a lot of gifts this time, you let people follow me, what about those boxes?" Fang Fei refused, and then went to Kuanzhou's mother's heart: "It's only a few steps, you walk slowly with your things, maybe Ah Pei and I can get home before you." ”
Zhou's mother hesitated for a while, and then relented. , repeatedly advised: "Madam, be careful yourself, I will come to pick you up when I arrive." ”
After speaking, they parted ways, Zhou's mother took the maid and the maid to Fangjia Village with gifts, and Fang Fei went to Fangjia Town alone.
The scale of Fangjia Town is extremely small, less than one-fifth of Zhaojia Town, and a straight street leads to the end, running through the entire town.
"Big girl!" Fang Geng returned to Fangjia Town last night, and sent the rice recovered from Shili and Eight Townships to the other side of the river overnight, and learned that Fang Fei would come over today, so he waited early in the morning, and when he saw Fang Fei, he greeted him from afar.
Fang Fei walked into the shop quickly and said straight to the point: "Uncle Geng, I have heard everything in the shop......
The two of them walked towards the inner hall, talking while talking, and when they arrived at a secluded place, Fang Fei took out a few silver tickets from his sleeve pocket and handed them over, "Uncle Geng, there can't be no flowing silver in the shop, you take these silver tickets first." ”
"No, no, no!" Fang Geng refused, stopped again and again, and pushed back the silver ticket handed to him, "Big girl, I can still turn around here, you can save these silvers yourself, and when you leave the Zhao family in the future, it will be of great use." ”
"You take it first, it's not enough for me to have, just earn it back and save it for me later." Fang Fei handed the silver ticket again, "I don't have to worry about eating and drinking at Zhao's house, and there is no shortage of silver in my hand, it's useless to put it in my place, just save it for me." ”
"Then thank you big girl, when the turnover comes, I'll save it for you." Speaking of this, Fang Geng couldn't shirk anymore, and he happened to lack silver in his hand, so he had to accept it.
"Uncle Geng, just look at it yourself." Fang Fei smiled disappreciatively, and asked about the situation in the store, "By the way, Uncle Geng, how many meters did you receive when you went to other counties this time?" Can it be turned around? ”
"Chen Gu has collected a lot, but he can cope with the new rice coming out, but it is a long journey, which is time-consuming and laborious, and he can't earn a lot." When it came to business, Fang Geng suddenly frowned, "The most worried thing is the Qian family, when the new rice comes out, if they still collect it in a big way, we have to go to other counties, let alone make money at that time, it's good if we don't discount the capital......"
Since he came out of the shop on South Street yesterday, Fang Fei has been thinking about this matter, nodded, and said comfortingly: "I have already thought of a way, as long as I can hold on until the new rice comes out." ”
"Oh? The big girl has thought of a way? Fang Geng was skeptical, and his face was happy.
Fang Fei nodded, glanced left and right, and then leaned over and whispered his plan in Fang Geng's ear, and at the end, added: "If it can be done, please Mr. matter, you have to rely on Uncle Geng to come forward to do something." ”
"This method works, I'll go in the afternoon." Fang Geng agreed, and agreed to it.
"Don't worry, when it's finalized, it's not too late to invite again." Fang Fei said with a smile, and said as he walked towards the main hall: "Uncle Geng, I'm going to see Ah Pei, and I still have something to do when I go back, so I'll leave first." ”
"I'll send the big girl." Fang Geng hurriedly nodded in agreement, stepped forward to lead the way, and was sent to the long street outside the shop, and was repeatedly urged by Fang Fei before turning around and returning to the shop.
There are only two private schools in Fangjia Town, and most of the students are children from the town, and there are very few children in the village.
One is that the tuition fee is expensive, as the saying goes, everything is inferior, only the reading is high, and the second is because the road is far away, the children are small, they have to be picked up and dropped off in the morning and evening, and they have to deliver meals at noon, three times a day, where is there time to do farm work?
In addition, the villagers in the village have been mainly engaged in agriculture for generations, thinking that as long as the children can count, there is no need to read so many books, so not many people are willing to send their children to the town to study.
Two years earlier, Fang Fei and his mother-in-law at home took Fang Pei to and from school every day, until Fang Pei was ten years old, he went to school alone.
Two private schools, one on the street and one at the end of the street, after Fang Fei came to the room where Fang Pei was, he only peeked out of the window for a short while, then left the school and walked to Fang's village alone, and halfway through, he bumped into Zhou's mother who came with two little maids.
"Huh? Why don't you see Young Master Pei? Mother Zhou glanced behind Fang Fei, there was no one.
"Ah Pei has been busy with schoolwork recently, and Mr. won't let him go." Fang Fei explained, leading the three of them back.
This time I came back and brought a bunch of gifts, except for Fang Pei, the others were not treasures, but a village woman like Tian couldn't tell the good at all, and she couldn't keep her mouth shut, and the two daughters were also happy, so they took the gift box and took it to the house to dismantle it, and began to grab materials and jewelry.
"Yo, the big girl is here, come into the hall and sit down." As soon as he heard some movement outside, Tian ran out of the door to greet him, and shouted to the mother-in-law at home: "Sister-in-law Niu, go make tea, our eldest girl is coming home to visit the door." ”
The two entered the house together, and after the guests and hosts were seated, the new tea made by Sister-in-law Niu was served, and Fang Yuan and Fang Fang also came out of the house, stepped forward to bow and salute, and shouted in unison: "Eldest sister." ”
Fang Fei pursed his lips and smiled, and glanced at Mother Zhou, who was standing beside him.
Zhou's mother understood, took out the red envelopes that had been sealed early in the morning, and gave one to each person.
The two sisters were full of joy, and after receiving the red envelope, they stood behind Tian and listened to Fang Fei and Tian's gossip.
Tian has been thinking about marrying his children to the Zhao family, Fang Fei has not heard back for so long, Tian's heart is becoming more and more bottomless, today Fang Fei came to the door, why do you have to ask, so I want to branch out of irrelevant people.
"Da Ni Er Ni, didn't you say you wanted to learn something new? Your eldest sister's mother Zhou's embroidery is well-known for being good, and it's rare that your eldest sister brought her to the door today, so don't go and ask for advice. ”
Fang Yuan Fang Fang understood, and immediately went up to pester Zhou's mother and asked her to teach Huā to look.
Zhou's mother couldn't, so she had to accompany the two girls to the inner room.
As soon as the person left, Tian asked impatiently, "Big girl, how happened last time?" ”
Fang Fei just picked up the cup and brought it to his lips, put it down when he heard the words, and asked casually, "Which one is Erniang talking about?" ”
I know that she didn't pay attention to it at all!
Tian's face instantly disappeared, and he thought that before his matter was completed, it was better not to have a stiff relationship with Fang Fei, so he accompanied the smiling face and said, "What else can happen, it is naturally your sister's marriage!" ”
Fang Yuan and Fang Fei are in the same year, only less than a month younger, in the village, girls and children of the same age as her are running all over the ground, Fang Yuan has not yet landed, there used to be Fang Fei's 'eldest sister', Tian is not in a hurry, now as soon as Fang Fei gets married, Fang Yuan naturally becomes the focus of the village.
The key is that this girl is illiterate and does not seek to be motivated, and her talent appearance can barely be regarded as average, and she can't look down on the mud legs in the village, and she wants to marry into the town and be the young grandmother of a big family.
