082 Reckoning
If you don't know, you can't do it unless you do.
The third girl and the fourth girl are young in the end, they have not experienced much, and they will inevitably leave clues when they do things, and in the afternoon of the same day, the second lady who learned the news was so angry that she slapped the table.
I had the heart to go to the two girls to settle accounts, but after all, I didn't catch them with real evidence, just inquired about it, and it was difficult to be convincing, but this is already very good, at least, the second lady can be separated from this matter, and Fang Fei will not settle accounts with her.
The second lady has never been a fuel-efficient lamp, although there is no way to take the two girls in this matter, but if you want to teach them a lesson, there are still many ways.
The next day, gossip began to spread in Zhaojia Town.
The protagonist is none other than the third and fourth girls in the big house, and they are all rumored that the two girls have a budding spring heart, are unwilling to be lonely, and often go out in disguise as men and have trysts with men outside......
This rumor is menacing, and the three girls and the four girls do often dress up as men to go out, and there are countless times, and there are many people who have seen the two sisters, often walking by the river, how can they not get their shoes wet, this rumor is not groundless......
The old ancestor who was sick had been recuperating for a long time, and he had not asked about the family for a long time, but this rumor was really serious, and the girls of the entire Zhao family were pointed at, and the old ancestor was not good enough to turn a blind eye anymore, so he went to pass the word and called Fang Fei and Grandma Song to Yining Hall.
"How did you come into this house? All the gossip outside has reached the ears of my old woman, haven't you heard? The old ancestor sat cross-legged on the Luohan Collapse, holding the cigarette stick with one hand.
A maid knelt in front of the couch, holding a copper basin of soot in her hand and holding it high above her head.
As he spoke, Fang Fei and Grandma Song stood side by side in front of the couch. One old and one young, one junior and one elder, one gentle and dignified, one calm and composed, indifferent and distant.
"Naturally, I have heard about it a long time ago, and it is not the first time that they have gone out, and I should have acquiesced to Zurong. I didn't ask. Not to mention. They are all the children of the big house, the eldest husband and wife are still alive, and I, the grandmother, are alive. It's not good to skip generations to discipline them. Fang Fei's eyelids drooped, and he said lightly, brushing himself away.
If they target themselves, Fang Fei doesn't care. But the person they are targeting is Fang Pei, so they must not be forgiven!
Grandma Song is the main mother of the big house. The third girl and the fourth girl are the people of her big house, and if they make a mistake, Grandma Song will naturally be to blame.
"You acquiesced to them going out to mess around?" The old ancestor raised his eyes. The deep eyes stared at Grandma Song for a moment, and knocked the cigarette ash into the copper basin with the cigarette gun in his hand, knocking the copper basin bell.
Grandma Song swallowed. The scalp tingled for a while, and it was half loud. Only then did he say carefully: "Where do I have the courage to dare to connive at them to go out and mess around, they went out for the first time a few years ago, and they just came out of the old ancestor and you, I thought that the old ancestor agreed, so I didn't ask......
The implication is that the responsibility is put back on the ancestors.
The two girls often run out, and Grandma Song did know it all along, but the two didn't make anything out of the ordinary, plus she put all her heart on her own son and daughter, where is there still time to take care of other people's affairs.
When the old ancestor heard her words, he immediately sank his face, and the cigarette stick in his hand rang with the sound of a copper basin bell, "You all know the feelings, and I am alone in the dark?" ”
"Ancestor, this matter is indeed my negligence, I will pay more attention to it in the future." Fang Fei lowered his head slightly, and took the initiative to take the mistake.
If she had admitted that it was her fault early on, even if it wasn't her fault, it would have been her fault, but now it's different, Grandma Song wants to shirk her responsibility, and take this matter against the ancestors, and Fang Fei will carry the mistake down again, which is equivalent to giving the ancestor a step down.
"I chose the right person after all, you are sensible, but it's no wonder that you have a lot of chores at home, and you don't have the skills, where is there still the kung fu to that leisure." The old ancestor nodded and said to Fang Fei considerately.
Grandma Song's face was red and white, pursed her lips, and turned her head to the side.
The old ancestor glanced at Grandma Song, and said unhappily: "Eldest daughter-in-law, you are also the head mother of the big house, and if you can't count on housework, why can't you even manage the people in your own room?" ”
"The granddaughter-in-law knows that she is wrong, and she will punish them when she goes back." Grandma Song said respectfully, only to feel that her heart was blocked in a panic, like a cat's claw. She is also from a famous family, she has been familiar with the female training and admonition since she was a child, and she has learned to take care of housework with her mother since she was sensible, and she can be described as the best among the sisters in the family.
But after marrying into the Zhao family, in the eyes of the ancestors who are in charge, she is a complete fool, except for giving birth to children, there is no other use, and she has been in charge of housework for decades.
People are not sages, if you want to say that Grandma Song has no complaints, I'm afraid even she won't believe it. The more the ancestor protected and held Fang Fei, the more Grandma Song responded.
"What are you going to do with this?" The old ancestor asked inquiringly.
Her granddaughter-in-law, she doesn't say anything about the rules, but she won't be flexible, she always can't get used to people who are better than herself, and she never wants to learn from others better than herself, she is only blindly jealous of others, and she thinks very highly of herself, which is really stupid!
"Back to my ancestors, I plan to confine Yurong Lirong for a month, and punish them for copying women's rings, so that they can meditate on their own mistakes and set an example." Grandma Song thought about it before she said truthfully.
The old ancestor's face sank when he heard this, and then he shook his head, and said to Grandma Song in a disappointed tone: "Just do what you say, okay, you go out." ”
Looking at the words and looks, the ancestor must be unhappy again......
Grandma Song didn't know what was wrong, and she didn't dare to ask again, so she had to bless her body and leave Yining Hall.
Waiting for Grandma Song's figure to disappear outside the gate, the old ancestor shook his head again, sighed, and asked Fang Fei, who was beside Wu Zihou, "What are you going to do?" ”
What to do? What else can I do, of course, I want to marry Zhao Yurong and Zhao Lirong as much as possible! Now the rumors outside have just started, everyone knows that it is the third girl and the fourth girl of the Zhao family, and after a long time, the rumor will be directly aimed at the girls of the entire Zhao family.
"I'll send someone to inquire later, and try my best to finalize the marriage of the two girls, but the family is still in the filial piety period, and I'm afraid I won't be able to send them out of the cabinet for a while." Fang Fei said lightly.
"It's not a grandson, you don't have to go to the main gate, just carry it out directly from the corner door, send it away one day earlier, and return my Zhao family a day earlier." The ancestor raised his eyes, his eyes were deep in his sunken sockets, his eyes were sharp, even if he was talking about the marriage of his great-granddaughters, but without a trace of emotion, as if he was talking about an inconsequential stranger.
"Then I'll do my best." Fang Fei nodded in agreement.
The ancestor has been in charge for decades, and the winds and waves in the capital have passed, and her vision is naturally more long-term than herself, and Fang Fei has no objection to her proposal. What's more, Fang Pei had no grievances with them, and they actually caused Fang Pei to not even go to the school, which was really hateful.
After a moment of silence, the old ancestor muttered: "The third girl, I remember that she used to be married to someone, you go to Lao Zhao to check, as for the fourth girl, the talent is not very outstanding, and she has no brains, marrying into the right person's house will only lose the face of the Zhao family, and now there is such a thing, you can do it yourself, find a similar family and marry out." ”
Speaking of the marriage of these great-granddaughters, the ancestors didn't care that they would marry poorly, but that they would marry into the right family, and making a mistake would bring shame to the Zhao family. These girls were not raised by Grandma Song in the end, and their etiquette and behavior are not comparable to Zhao Wanrong, the eldest daughter of the big house, and they don't know how to improve, and the ancestors really don't like them.
Fang Fei listened carefully on the side, wrote down the words of the ancestor, and after leaving Yining Hall, he came to the front yard and asked the steward Zhao to inquire about the third girl's family for marriage.
The chief steward of Zhao is the old man of the Zhao family, and the affairs of the family are no less than the old ancestors, and the affairs of the third girl are not secret, so he quickly inquired about the truth.
The biological mother of the third girl, Qian, is a person from the town, and the Zhou family who married her is also in the town, when she was married, the Zhou family was also a well-off family, and Zhou's father was also a well-off family, but unfortunately he died young, leaving orphans and widows, Mrs. Zhou indulged her son in everything, and finally raised her son into a complete loser.
As early as when the Zhao family returned to their hometown, Mrs. Zhou passed away, leaving the Zhou Gongzi to spend a lot of money, married a bunch of concubines, and ransomed a few girls from the Qinglou as aunts, and lost the huge family business in just a few years.
The second aunt Qian's maiden family is doing business in the town, so she naturally knows the Zhou family, and she has already told the second aunt about the Zhou family's situation.
The second aunt naturally knows the character of the eldest master, not to mention the decline of the Zhou family, even if the Zhou family becomes a beggar on the street, as long as the Zhou family comes to propose, the eldest aunt will definitely marry the third girl without hesitation!
At that time, only the ancestor, the eldest lord and the second aunt themselves knew, so the second aunt tried every means to prevent the Zhou family from coming to the door, as long as the people from the Zhou family came to the door, there was no chance to meet the eldest master.
What the second aunt thinks, the left is just one word: delay, drag on for a few years, the third girl is older, and the Zhou family has not come to propose marriage, the eldest man will never marry his daughter in a hurry, when the time comes, the third girl will become an old girl, as long as she can marry out, the eldest master is afraid that it will be too late to be happy.
The eldest brother of the Qian family has always wanted to be close to the Zhao family, and the third girl and her cousin have often corresponded, just waiting to get rid of the marriage contract of the Zhou family, so that the third girl can be married. (To be continued) R655
