Time flies, and in a blink of an eye, it is the end of the year.

After the second aunt was called by Grandma Song to Tonghua Courtyard and reprimanded, she went to her mother's house in person and sent the third girl who lived in her grandfather's house to Zhou's house in person, so that the gossip outside gradually subsided, and everyone was able to live a clean year.

Because the old lady in the family had just passed away, the Zhao family was still in the filial piety period, and the family did not dare to do a big job, and even the drama team of previous years was not invited, and it was deserted, and the family gathered together, ate a Chinese New Year's Eve dinner, and dispersed.

To Fang Fei's surprise, Zhao Rongzhao, who had always hated her, actually toasted her with a glass of wine during the banquet.

After the banquet was dismissed, Fang Fei accompanied the ancestor back to Yining Hall, and Grandma Song was also called over, and the two pairs of mother-in-law and daughter-in-law gathered together, nothing more than to discuss Zhao Rongzhao's marriage.

After the first month, the filial piety period of the family has passed, the children of the Zhaozi generation are not young, although the eldest lord advocates the first test to gain fame, and then start a family, but also can not withstand the years to urge people to grow old, after the New Year, as the eldest son of Zhao Rongzhao is already in his early twenties, for someone else's family, there are several children.

On the night of Chinese New Year's Eve, there was a custom of keeping the New Year, the younger generations had their own fun, the ancestors were present and the juniors were not comfortable, so after eating the Chinese New Year's Eve dinner, they went back to Yining Hall early, Fang Fei followed, and Grandma Song was called later.

There was a brazier in the room, and the whole room was warm, Fang Fei and the old ancestor sat cross-legged on the Luohan Collapse, playing and talking at the same time.

Grandma Song stepped forward and saluted, sat on the pestle in front of the couch to roast the fire, and waited there quietly, waiting for the instructions of the ancestors, and would not call her to come over for no reason.

The old ancestor stared intently at the chessboard, holding the white son in his hand and asked, "After the Lantern Festival." The children's filial piety period is over, although the boss often says that let them get famous and then get married, but starting a family is two different things, if you can marry a virtuous wife, it is helpful to study, the eldest daughter-in-law, what do you think? ”

Grandma Song was secretly happy. I couldn't help but be happy. Busy said: "I have long had the idea of finding a daughter-in-law for Rong Zhao to manage, but the master has always said that he will start a business first, and then start a family." I am afraid that becoming a relative will delay Rong Zhao's studies, which has dragged me older, and now that my ancestors mention it, I naturally approve it with both hands. I'm afraid that the lord will ...... there."

In the end, Grandma Song's voice was lowered. Cautiously glanced at the old ancestor, looking like he wanted to say it but didn't dare to say it.

"Don't worry about the boss, according to his idea, if there is no one in my great-grandson, he will be able to gain fame. The Zhao family is not going to be broken, ridiculous! Just say what you think, what's in the boss's place. Let him come to me. The old ancestor said without looking back.

The eldest lord attaches the most importance to filial piety, and the ancestor put it forward. He didn't agree and had to agree, Grandma Song was overjoyed, and hurriedly struck the iron while it was hot and said: "Ancestor, the girls of the Lu family have a good character, you also know each other, and the two families are world friends, both know the roots, but they are a good candidate, I don't know what you think, ancestor?" ”

The old ancestor snorted, raised his eyes to look at Fang Fei opposite, and asked, "What do you think?" ”

Fang Fei pursed his lips and smiled, his tone was light, "I have also seen the girl of the Lu family, she is indeed a smart girl, and her tutor is not bad." ”

This evaluation is very pertinent, neither biased, nor coaxing, neither suitable nor inappropriate, just a pertinent evaluation, even if Lu Siqi and Zhao Rongzhao become relatives in the future and find that they are not suitable for each other, they can't blame Fang Fei.

Grandma Song glanced at her gratefully, thanked her silently in her heart, and then stared nervously at the old ancestor, waiting for her opinion.

The old ancestor thought for a moment and tried to break out of the encirclement, but he couldn't find a flaw in the sunspot, so he had to put the white son in his hand in a random position, "You young people, you don't know how to respect the elderly. ”

Grandma Song shuddered, her heart was full of turmoil, and she secretly wondered where she had said the wrong thing again, and whether she had offended her ancestors again.

Fang Fei smiled disapprerovingly, picked up a few sunspots from the chessboard, opened a breakthrough for Bai Zi, who had become a turtle in the urn, and said with a smile: "Ancestor, what you said is a rod to overturn a boatload of people, we can't afford it." ”

"Isn't that right, you can change your mistakes, and you're still a good boy." The old ancestor glanced at her and led Bai Zi to break through the encirclement.

Grandma Song was confused on the side and didn't dare to say a word.

After a while, I heard the old ancestor say: "The girl of the Lu family is a sensible person, you fall in love with others, not necessarily your son, after all, the Zhao family is different from the past, and the girl of the Lu family marries in, it is a low marriage, and the family may not agree." ”

Grandma Song's tense heartstrings suddenly loosened, and she couldn't hold back the excitement in her heart, and said: "This ancestor can rest assured, Lu Shangshu is not a pedantic person, and he is good friends with the master. ”

"In this case, you can go to the Lu family girl to find out the tone, if she has that kind of mind about Rong Zhao, after the New Year, she will put the children's lifelong affairs over."

Lu Siqi doesn't have to worry about it, the main problem is still Zhao Rongzhao, he won't give up on Liu Zijin for a day, even if Lu Siqi marries in, the husband and wife are afraid that they will not be harmonious, and when the time comes, it will be three people who will suffer.

Grandma Song can't care so much, as long as her son marries Lu Siqi into the door, it will be a sure thing, even if her son is unwilling, he can't change it, face to face day by day, she doesn't believe that her son will not have a long-term love for Lu Siqi.

This marriage was smoother than expected, and there was no resistance from Lu Siqi, the Lu family, and the old man who had always shouted 'start a business first, and then start a family', and the biggest and most difficult resistance came from Zhao Rongzhao.

And Grandma Song has always ignored her son's opinions, thinking that what she gives her son is the best for him, but she doesn't consider the question of whether her son likes it or not.

Just after the Lantern Festival, Grandma Song asked Lu Siqi to mention the matter, and after receiving a positive answer, she went to the eldest master and asked him to repair a book and go to Beijing, and officially proposed the matter of marriage to Lu Shangshu's family, who returned to Beijing in triumph.

Lu Shangshu replied very happily. His daughter has been thinking about her childhood sweetheart all these years, and now the Zhao family intends to get married, he, as a father, in addition to being happy for his daughter, the rest is to prepare a dowry for his daughter.

Zhao Rongzhao has not been to Bangxianglou often in the past few months, because he has made up his mind to study hard and strive to gain fame in the examination this year. When the time comes. Only then did he have the confidence to have a showdown with his family, saying that he would not marry Liu Zijin, anyway, he had already achieved fame at that time. Don't be afraid of the opinions of your family.

The moment he learned the news of the two families, the whole person collapsed, locked himself in the house, and no one said anything about it.

Lu Shangshu was already on his way here. Lu Siqi still lives in the Zhao family, and Grandma Song naturally won't let her see her son. Hiding everything, with a smiling face in front of people, he ran to knock on his son's door when no one was around, and persuaded his son to open the door with tears in his eyes.

Zhao Rongzhao is stubborn. After three days of not eating, drinking, or even speaking, Grandma Song sent him to kneel and kowtow. I heard his weak voice from behind the door: "I want to see Fang Fei......"

Grandma Song is also a face-loving person, but in this life for her son. She compromised again and again, begging again and again with a shy face, for the sake of her son, what is the amount of face, at this time, not to mention that Zhao Rongzhao wants to see Fang Fei, even if he wants to see Liu Zijin, she will probably let someone quietly take Liu Zijin over.

"What does he want to see me for?" Fang Fei was stunned and asked Grandma Song bluntly.

Grandma Song thought about it, but after all, she couldn't pull her face, saying that her son was on a hunger strike again because of Liu Zijin's matter, and explained palely: "Rong Zhao has been sick for several days......"

"If you are sick, go to the doctor, what's the use of looking for me, you are also sick and confused?" Fang Fei said lightly, without the slightest intention of getting up.

Grandma Song was a little embarrassed, and in her heart heaven and man were at war, and in the end, she was defeated on the side of her distressed son, and said in a low voice: "Mrs. Tai, I won't hide it from you, Rong Zhao is not sick, it's because the family is making trouble about his marriage, the child is too stubborn, and he was fascinated by the fox spirit in Bang Xianglou, no one can listen to what he says, and he has locked himself in the house for several days, Mrs. Tai, you go and help me persuade him......"

Grandma Song has always been proud, but in the end, she had already burst into tears, and almost choked up to finish saying this paragraph, even Mother Zhou on the side couldn't help but be moved, a little soft-hearted, and couldn't help but glance at Fang Fei pleadingly.

Fang Fei's hand holding the pen hung in the air and paused, unable to see the expression on his face, and after a moment of silence, he said softly: "I can't help you, but you can go to the second master to help you persuade you, maybe you can get twice the result with half the effort." ”

"Second uncle?" Grandma Song muttered and repeated, her face full of puzzlement.

Zhao Rongzhao is arrogant, and he is not good with his half-brothers in the family, and even his eldest sister Zhao Wanrong is not very close, why does Fang Fei say that his uncle and second master can persuade him?

Not to mention Grandma Song, even Mother Zhou on the side couldn't help but wonder a little.

"Sometimes, if you hit the right way, I have already pointed out the road to you, and it is your business whether to go or not." Fang Fei refused to say any more, and picked up the pen and concentrated on writing small characters on the account book.

She refused to say that there was naturally her reason, because in the previous life, the marriage between Zhao Rongzhao and Lu Siqi was facilitated by the second master. Zhao Rongzhao has been dead set on Liu Zijin for two lifetimes, trying to get him to agree to marry someone else, how easy it is to say, Liu Zijin is flawless in his mind, the more he can't get it, the more precious it is, if he doesn't pull her down from the high altar, how can others enter Zhao Rongzhao's heart!

As for how the second master did it, Fang Fei really didn't pay much attention to it, but what she knew was that after the second master came out, this marriage was indeed completed.

Grandma Song left the Green Jade Xuan in a trance, she racked her brains and thought about it, she really couldn't think of a reason, but now that her son is in love, Lu Shangshu will come in a few days, and then the two families will officially discuss the matter of marriage, if Zhao Rongzhao cannot be persuaded at that time, this marriage will be broken again.

Walking all the way, I arrived at the West Courtyard unconsciously.

Grandma Song looked up and saw that the door plaque in the courtyard in front of her read 'Furong Hall', and she actually walked to the second lady's residence.

In the more than ten years since they returned to their ancestral hometown, the number of times Grandma Song went to the West Courtyard was only a handful, and the number of times she went to the courtyard of the second lady was probably counted on one hand.

Grandma Song glanced at the courtyard gate in disgust, turned around and planned to go back, but when she turned around, she ran into the second master who had just returned from the county office.

"Why did my sister-in-law have time to come to my west courtyard?" The second old man walked over with his hands behind his back and asked in a strange manner.

"What, the second uncle doesn't welcome the sister-in-law over?" Grandma Song was a little embarrassed, and barely squeezed out a smile.

The second master's background is not good, but he always talks about the big house, and there is quite a style of falling into the dung pit by himself, not wanting to get up, but trying to pull others down, Grandma Song is a person who looks down on the second room from the bottom of her heart.

In the past few years, Grandma Song called the second master 'second uncle' for the first time, in the past, either calling the second master's name, or shouting 'second brother', the second master was a little surprised, coughed, and then laughed with a smile: "Where did the sister-in-law say, but the sister-in-law rarely came to my second room once a year, and suddenly saw the sister-in-law, I thought I went to the wrong place and went to the east courtyard." ”

The second old man said it in a weird way, and Grandma Song felt very uncomfortable in her heart, but thinking about her son, she felt that if the second master could really help, what would it be if she was wronged, so she smiled and said: "I can't hide it, I came here this time to ask the second uncle, and the second uncle can help, and the sister-in-law is grateful." ”

The second master's eyes narrowed, and he came to the spirit, secretly thinking that he really had nothing to do but go to the Three Treasures Palace, but it was rare for Grandma Song to open her mouth to ask for help, and the second master was a little fluttering, and immediately replied: "Sister-in-law, if you have something to say, just say it, I can help, try to help." ”

Grandma Song glanced left and right and smiled a little awkwardly.

The second old man frowned, and then remembered that the road was not the place to talk, and hurriedly said: "Sister-in-law, it is rare for you to come to my West Courtyard, go, go inside to have a cup of tea, and let's talk about things while drinking tea." ”

After speaking, he strode towards the courtyard of Furong Hall, Grandma Song couldn't, so she had to follow, but fortunately, Fang Yuan was now the time when she had severe morning sickness, and the second lady was invited by Fang Yuan's maid early in the morning, and she happened to be not in the house at the moment.

After the brother and sister-in-law sat down, the second master said: "Sister-in-law, if you have anything to say, I will try my best to help if I can, and please forgive me if I can't help." (To be continued) R655
