005 Suppression
That night, Fang Fei didn't return to the house until he was ugly.
The old ancestor explained the family affairs to Fang Fei one by one, no matter how big or small, the mother-in-law in charge was also called and met the wife of the new master.
This time the old ancestor's illness was true, but it was not so strict that he was bedridden, Fang Fei understood in his heart that the old ancestor was using the cause of illness to come up with the problem.
Before leaving the cabinet, because his stepmother was illiterate, Fang Fei was taking care of the family and outside the house, but after all, it was only a small family of a few people, and there were no less than a few hundred people in the Zhao family.
Mrs. Zhao used to be an official of the imperial court, and this year coincides with the seventieth year, so the funeral must be held solemnly and decently, and it is indeed a little difficult for Fang Fei, who has just started to prepare, to start organizing.
But Fang Fei is not what he used to be, he is a person who has lived a lifetime, his experience and vision are not inferior to the eldest master of the Zhao family, and the mother-in-law who is in charge of the family is a person who was personally cultivated by the ancestors, so it should not be too difficult to organize the funeral of Mrs. Zhao this time.
Halfway through, Fang Fei got up, changed into the mourning clothes made by the little maids overnight, held the high sideburns, and showed a smooth and full forehead, just like a standard woman's dress.
The old lady had just passed away, and as the widow of the old lady, she naturally couldn't dress up too deliberately, so Fang Fei only used an eyebrow pencil to simply draw the tips of her eyebrows.
Her eyebrows are slender, looking too gentle, and after the drawing, the tips of her eyebrows are raised upward, and the whole person looks shrewd and capable, and finally she has a white flower on the side of her sideburns.
After breakfast, Fang Fei led Zhou's mother to the ancestor's side.
It was agreed last night, and early in the morning, Wu's mother arranged for someone to send a message to the old and young in the family, and she was going to the ancestor's house to negotiate the funeral of the grandfather.
When Fang Fei came over, the eldest lord Zhao Guixiang was already waiting at the door, and when he saw Fang Fei coming, he respectfully asked 'Mother-in-law' in the morning.
The old lady who just passed away had no children under his knees, the eldest master Zhao Guixiang and the second master Zhao Guicai were both born to concubines, and the biological mother was not able to correct until she died.
Zhao Guixiang is the eldest son of the long house, he has always followed the old lady and the ancestor, he is kind, extremely filial piety, and he is a person who admits death, as long as the name is right, let alone let him call Fang Fei 'grandmother', and he also takes it for granted.
Fang Fei was stunned on the spot by this 'mother-in-law' call, and it took a while to wake up, nod at the eldest master, and led Zhou's mother into the house.
Jin Ling came out of the inner room, and when he saw the two of them, he greeted: "Mrs. Tai came so early, the old ancestor just got up and cleaned up, and was about to have breakfast, has Mrs. Tai eaten?" I didn't eat it, so I asked Wu's mother to prepare more chopsticks. ”
"Our lady has already eaten, girl, you can go by yourself." Zhou's mother thanked Jin Ling and entered the inner room with Fang Fei.
After accompanying the old ancestor to finish breakfast, Jin Ling came in to report that everyone had arrived, the old ancestor nodded, leaned on the couch, and sent Jin Ling out to call everyone into the house to talk.
In the previous life, Fang Fei had been wandering in the Zhao family for decades, and he was very familiar with the Zhao family.
The leader who came in was Zhao Guixiang, the eldest man of the big house, and Zhao Guicai, the second master of the second room, and the two brothers, the wives and concubines of the two followed, and the children followed last.
Fang Fei glanced at it roughly, and knew that except for Zhao Rongzhao, the head of the long house who had escaped from marriage and disappeared, everyone from the top and bottom of the Zhao family had arrived.
Under the leadership of Zhao Guixiang, the people in the big room first asked the ancestor for peace, and then asked Fang Fei for peace, but the second master of the second room, Zhao Guicai, did not follow.
The grandfather of the Zhao family was previously in Beijing, so he naturally took his eldest son with him, and the second room stayed in his ancestral hometown, before the old lady resigned and returned to his hometown, the second master Zhao Guicai was the head of the family.
After the old lady resigned and returned to his ancestral hometown, the second room was suppressed everywhere, and he was full of complaints, because the old ancestor was in charge, and the second room did not dare to make a mistake, only hoping that the old ancestor would return to heaven as soon as possible, so as to hand over the right to be in charge.
The people in the big room are weak and can't be a home, and the people in the second room are all powerful characters, and finally waited until the old lady died, and the ancestor also fell ill.
After the second master asked the ancestor to say goodbye, he flicked his sleeves and said: "Big brother, the people in your big house are not promising, let a yellow-haired girl ride on your head, your big house is not afraid of people's jokes, our second room still has to be faced, this 'grandmother' wants to recognize you, and our second room does not admit it." ”
The old ancestor leaned sideways on the couch, supported one hand on the side of his head, closed his eyelids and closed his eyes to recuperate, as if he hadn't heard the words of the second master at all.
Fang Fei, who was standing on one side, understood that the ancestor wanted to let himself deal with it, if he couldn't even suppress the second room, how could she start with this family?
Zhao Guixiang was about to reprimand the second room, but Fang Fei stood up first and asked, "Second master, what do you mean by this?" ”
Without waiting for Zhao Gui to answer, he said: "I entered the Zhao family and worshiped the ancestors of the Zhao family, and my name is on the Zhao family tree, so you can't deny it." The old lady's bones are not cold, you will deny me, do you want to even deny the old ancestor, and you can't be disobedient? ”
Filial piety comes first, and disobedience is a big sin.
The talent and character of the second master are not outstanding, and the position of the county order was made by virtue of his relationship when Mrs. Zhao was still in the capital.
Hearing this, the second old man was shocked in his heart, he originally thought that Fang Fei was just a yellow-haired girl with long hair and short knowledge, but he didn't expect this hairy girl to hit the nail on the head, and dismissed his words in a few words, and also buckled the responsibility of 'disobedience' by the way.
Fang Fei's name was written by Mrs. Zhao yesterday on the family tree.
Mrs. Zhao once worked in Qin Tianjian, and after calculating that the Zhao family was about to usher in a catastrophe a few years ago, he resolutely resigned and returned to his hometown, temporarily avoiding a catastrophe.
Later, the master carefully calculated Fang Fei's birthday, thinking that she was the one who could make the Zhao family completely escape this catastrophe, and after worshipping his ancestors yesterday, he ordered someone to take the family tree and add Fang Fei's name.
Regardless of whether the second master recognizes it or not, Fang Fei is already his rightful 'mother-in-law'.
The second master was no longer reluctant in his heart, but he didn't dare to risk the charge of disobedience on his back, and did not recognize Fang Fei's identity as 'mother-in-law', so he had to turn the spearhead and said indignantly: "Ancestor, isn't it enough for you to suppress us for so many years, and when you come, you will make a 'mother-in-law' to suppress us, I am still not your own grandson, you want to return to me as your own grandson, please divide my second room from the old man." ”
If you don't go out of the house, you will still have to be suppressed by the big house in the future, since you can't be a family, then you can split up, the second master has always thought like this.
When the ancestor was in charge, there was still a hope, after all, he was ninety years old, and he could live for a few more years? Now that he has changed to Fang Fei, this hope is completely broken, but I am afraid that when the thatch on his grave is a few feet high, Fang Fei will still be alive and well.
