105 Autumn Outing
On the day of Grandma Song's appointment, the people of the Lu family came to the door early in the morning with Lu Siqi.
Fang Fei often went to the ancestor's side for breakfast, saving the morning and dusk, and if he had something to go out, he would report it by the way.
The last time Lu Siqi came to visit, he had already seen his ancestor, and Fang Fei went back to his parents' house and couldn't see him.
When she agreed to go to Grandma Song's next appointment, it was tantamount to expressing her attitude, if the Zhao family intended to marry the Lu family, she would not object, so when she went back, she asked people about the population of the Zhao family, and also knew that the Zhao family had such a young elder in the ZĂ i.
When he heard that this elder was the same age as himself, Lu Siqi couldn't help but be a little surprised, so he specially asked people to inquire about Fang Fei carefully.
Coming to the door early in the morning, after meeting Grandma Song, the two came to Yining Hall together.
Fang Fei was accompanying the ancestor to have breakfast in the side hall, the two sat facing each other, talking and laughing, Zhou's mother and Jin Ling also interjected a few words from time to time, which made the ancestor laugh, and the room got along very well.
Far away, Grandma Song heard the laughter of the ancestors, and her heart couldn't help but feel a little sour. It is said that mother-in-law and daughter-in-law are natural enemies, but they can get along with their granddaughter-in-law, how can they get along with themselves, and these truths are reversed?
Whether it is Mrs. Zhao's original partner or the current Fang Fei, the ancestor and the two daughters-in-law get along very well, it is not an exaggeration to say that they are mother and daughter, and they will not wait to see their granddaughter-in-law, and they have married into the Zhao family over the years, except for when they gave birth to Zhao Rongzhao, the ancestor praised him, at other times. The old ancestor has never given himself a good face.
As soon as Grandma Song led Lu Siqi into the door, Jin Ling, who was joking with Zhou's mother in the house, stopped, and the people in the house also put away their smiling faces and looked at the two people who came to the door. Grandma Song was a little panicked in her heart, but she still forced a smile, stepped forward to respectfully greet An, and introduced Fang Fei to Lu Siqi.
The old ancestor Lu Siqi has seen it. Grandma Song spoke. She followed closely and saluted to say goodbye, and from Grandma Song's name for Fang Fei, she had already guessed Fang Fei's identity. When Grandma Song solemnly introduced Fang Fei, when even stepped forward to squat down and salute, she said obediently: "Hello Mrs., the junior is polite here." â
Fang Fei smiled. got up personally and picked up Lu Siqi, who was half-squatting on the ground. "Miss Lu is polite, hurry up."
This woman is the one she is waiting for, as long as she enters the door, she will support her in charge. After she can take charge on her own, she will be able to leave the Zhao family, Fang Fei was worried about whether he could wait for her before the death of his ancestor. But now, she has appeared in front of her.
The old ancestor on the side nodded. smiled: "Why did you come here so early?" Did you have breakfast? If it's useless, you might as well make do with this. â
"Okay, I got up before dawn in the morning, and now I'm hungry, thank you, ancestor." Lu Siqi agreed, looking happy, not polite at all.
Seeing this, Jin Ling immediately went to fetch a pair of chopsticks and placed them on the left hand side of the ancestor, and brought a stool to beckon Lu Siqi to take a seat.
Grandma Song couldn't help but be a little embarrassed, she didn't walk aside, she didn't stay, she always felt that she couldn't fit into their circle.
It is well known that the ancestors do not want to see the eldest grandmother, and the subordinates of Yining Hall did not dare to ask Grandma Song if she had breakfast, but Lu Siqi stood up and greeted Grandma Song: "Grandma, have you had breakfast?" Would you like to drink some more porridge with us? â
"No, no." Grandma Song hurriedly stopped refusing and explained: "I just had breakfast, where can I still eat, you eat slowly, I'll go out for a walk and eliminate food." After saying that, he took the maid and left with the maid.
Out of Yining Hall, listening to the laughter coming from behind her, Grandma Song's heart was sour and astringent, and her feelings for Lu Siqi were also a little strange, like envy, like jealousy, obviously they are all the same people, why didn't the ancestor give herself a good face?
But she can't be jealous, Lu Siqi is her daughter-in-law in the photo, if she can be liked by her ancestors, it will be a great good thing for her son, and the only thing she wants now is to work hard to promote this family affair and find a big backer for her son.
The Zhao family is counting on the descendants to have someone to gain fame and add glory to the family, so they attach great importance to the education of the children and grandchildren in the family, and specially invited Mr. to build a private school, which is dedicated to the children and grandchildren of the Zhao family.
For Liu Zijin's sake, Grandma Song had to turn her face with her son, but she couldn't change her son's mind anyway, and the only way she could think of was to let Lu Siqi and Zhao Rongzhao have more contact.
Lu Siqi is already outstanding, and her personality is also likable, the most important thing is that she is everyone's best girl, and the sentimental Liu Zijin is completely two extremes, she always thinks that her son loves Liu Zijin, completely because her son has seen too few women, and when he experiences a few more women, maybe he will wake up, there is no love from the beginning to the end in this world, and some can only be interests and the needs of inheritance.
Lu Siqi and Zhao Rongzhao knew each other when they were young, and they were not disgusted with her, and the Lu family came from afar, the Zhao family should indeed do their best to entertain the Lu family as a landlord, Zhao Rongzhao also agreed to his mother's request, and when Lu Siqi came out of the ancestor, the group got into the carriage that had been prepared and went to the family temple.
In Zhao Jiazhao's generation, Zhao Rongzhao is indeed the most outstanding one, Sven is white, his eyebrows are clear, and he is a beautiful son in the wind, leaving aside Liu Zijin's matter, Grandma Song has nothing to disagree with her son, and her son makes her proud.
Zhao Rongzhao has such a foundation, not to mention in the local area, even in the capital, if you look at it, he is also the number one, there is no girl who doesn't like this type, Lu Siqi is no exception, not to mention that the two are still childhood sweethearts' playmates.
Zhao Rongzhao doesn't hate Lu Siqi either, when the two are together, regardless of their children's personal affairs, they just discuss poetry and literature, they all have a feeling of like-mindedness with each other, and because of the death of his grandfather at home, Zhao Rongzhao has not gone out recently. This time it is difficult to relax, and this journey is not unpleasant in the slightest.
Grandma Song intended to match, so she naturally refused to let go of such a good opportunity.
After the worship, the mother and son led Lu Siqi around the temple again, and at noon, they ate vegetarian food in the temple. Lu Siqi is having fun. After lunch, she went to the top, and Grandma Song shirked her age and couldn't climb. Let Zhao Rongzhao accompany Lu Siqi up the mountain, and stay in the temple to wait for them.
At this time, the mountains are covered with golden leaves, and the scenery is breathtaking. As early as on the way up the mountain, Zhao Rongzhao had the idea of reaching the top. Lu Siqi mentioned this, which was really in line with his heart, and the two persuaded Grandma Song for a while, but Grandma Song couldn't. I had to agree to accompany the two of them to climb for a while, and when I couldn't walk, I came back to rest, and the three of them went up the mountain together.
Autumn leaves wither. Paved with mountain trails, it's stunning. The shoes stepped on it, rustling, Lu Siqi usually stayed in the house in the capital, rarely went out, this time out, had a lot of fun, when the fun was up, he also held a pile of leaves on the side of the road, to throw his maid, throw Zhao Rongzhao, the team was full of laughter.
After climbing for a short while, Grandma Song shouted that she was tired and said that she wanted to go back, and the two of them no longer stopped them, so they arranged for someone to send Grandma Song back.
Grandma Song only brought a maid and a mother-in-law to follow, so she took the opportunity to leave Lu Siqi's maid as well, leaving only a pair of children who were playing happily and continued to go up the mountain.
This matter, Grandma Song is bound to win, the ancestor is also optimistic, the eldest master is afraid that he will raise his hands in favor, of course, the eldest master may be more fond of his other son becoming the son-in-law of the Lu family, when he also knows, it is impossible to be reasonable.
Those who should come are coming, and those who are supposed to go should be prepared.
In the afternoon, Fang Fei quietly went out of the corner door, and as usual, he brought Zhou's mother and two young maids, Zhou's mother is honest, and the little girl likes to watch the excitement, so she is very relieved to leave her master alone in the teahouse to drink tea, and go to help her master buy those fresh things outside.
The teahouse is on South Street, diagonally opposite the Fang family's shop, as long as you put the violet used for decoration in the house to the window, Fang Luo will jump in through the window of the cubicle after a while......
"Big girl, Uncle Geng is here." This time, he was not alone, there was also Fang Geng, who he hadn't seen for a few days.
"Uncle Geng." Fang Fei stepped forward, looking at Fang Geng's aging face, and didn't know how to ask for some words.
When her father died, she was also more than ten years old, not too big but not small, but she was raised in the boudoir since she was a child, coinciding with the great changes in her family, and she couldn't adapt to the life at that time for a long time, and her father may really have a lot of ulterior secrets, but Fang Fei was too fragile at that time, so that her father didn't say anything to her before he died.
She is a daughter after all, and Fang's father is probably afraid of leaving trouble for her, so he would rather bring the secret into the coffin than reveal half a word to his children.
He is from the palace, he is old, he has an upright personality, his loyalty to the main family is undoubted, and he is a person who can keep secrets.
"Big girl! I haven't seen you for a few days, and you've lost some weight, but you have to pay attention to your body. After not seeing him for many days, Fang Geng was even a little excited when he spoke, rubbing his hands, hindering Fang Luo's presence, but he didn't say too much.
"Thank you Uncle Geng for your care, I'll be careful." Fang Fei nodded, beckoned Fang Geng to sit down, and asked about Fang Pei's recent situation.
Fang Geng has always obeyed the rules, whether it is in front of people or behind people, he never dares to sit on an equal footing with his master, but because Fang Luo is there, he has to sit on the stool on the side.
Fang Luo couldn't interject on the side, so he consciously retreated.
Seeing him leave, Fang Fei hesitated again and again before asking Fang Geng tentatively: "Uncle Geng, I have a question for you, when my father took me and A Pei out of Beijing, it was clear that the Holy Lord had pardoned our Fang family's crimes, but why did my father hide in Tibet and dare not show his real name?" Even if he is registered in Fangjia Village, he only adds my and A Pei's household registration to the Tian family's household registration, but why doesn't he dare to settle down? â
Fang Geng was silent for a long time, took a deep breath, and then said: "Big girl, what do you want to ask, Uncle Geng probably knows, but there is one thing, the master doesn't say anything, it is also to protect you and Young Master Pei, after all, it is better to know some things than not to know." â
From these words, Fang Fei knew that Fang Geng must know something, but this person was upright, if his father explained to him and did not allow him to tell him and Fang Pei, I am afraid that he would not be able to ask anything from him at all.
Maybe it's true as he said, there are some things that I don't know or don't know, and it's good to come.
Fang Fei thought about it, so he didn't inquire about it, but asked about Fang Geng's recent shop and the cultivation of herbs.
Speaking of business, Fang Geng smiled from ear to ear.
This year's autumn harvest is a bumper harvest year, and because Fang Fei invested money to set up a private school for the village, and paid for tables, chairs and benches to teach materials, and contributed to invite Mr., hundreds of families in Fangjia Village were grateful to her, and they all kept their agreements, not only selling rice to Fang Geng, but also other miscellaneous grains, and only willing to buy the shops of her 'relatives' of the Fang family.
Fang Geng is also a sincere person, he will collect as much as the market price, never cheat to make scales, the people in the village also trust him, and the sundries needed for life also want to buy from him, and persuade him to open another shop, not for anything else, just because he is honest in business.
There are many people who say it, Fang Geng also moved his mind, started another stove, opened a daily grocery store, this time he was busy, and it was for this reason that the daily necessities were all taken from other counties, just taking a boat to take the goods to the waterway to save money and time, so he studied several trips.
"Big girl, I didn't say hello to you in advance about this, don't blame Uncle Geng." After talking about the performance, Fang Geng asked for the guilty again.
"How so!" Fang Fei said with a smile, "Uncle Geng, I said earlier, you always look at business matters, just make your own ideas, don't ask me everything." â
Fang Geng nodded, and said: "Big girl, I plan to do so, now we don't have to worry about running out of food, anyway, we have to go to other counties to get groceries, I think about opening a shop that deals in cereals in the county, so that when I go to the county to get the goods, I will bring the miscellaneous grains along the way, and when I come back, I will bring groceries, which will save trouble at both ends, what do you think?" â
"It's good to go to other counties, in the future, when we leave here, we can also have a ready-made place to stay, you can just watch it." Fang Fei echoed and said.
Lu Siqi has already come here, so will the day when she leave the Zhao family be far away? It's time to think about the future, too. (To be continued) R580
