Zhao Rongyun couldn't ask for it, and said happily: "Mother, then I'll go back and pack my things!" ”

"Go, go, go, I should know, I know what to say for you." The second lady looked at her son's cheering appearance, couldn't help but shake her head, and said with a smile: "How old is you, you still look like a child!" ”

The next day, early in the morning, the second lady sent someone to handle the matter, and in the afternoon, Zhao Rongyun, who couldn't wait for a moment, took the scholar and saluted with a bookbox on his back, and happily went out from the corner gate to study in Linxian County.

On Fang Yuan's side, the second lady sent someone over to explain that a man should focus on studying and gaining fame, and it is rare to have a place in the school in Linxian County, and Zhao Rongyun can get in, which is a great thing.

Fang Yuan nodded as if she didn't understand, in fact, she and Zhao Rongyun didn't get along much at all, at most they met a few times, all she wanted was to be able to live a life of fine clothes and food, what her husband did, she really didn't care much when she wasn't at home.

The maids assigned to her by the second lady are all honest and wooden, and they will not instigate the master to compete for favor, plus the housekeeper in her courtyard is also the second lady's confidant, Fang Yuan is like a canary in a cage, and she can't jump up at all.

The second lady didn't let her go, and the treatment she gave her was better than that of several aunts in the second room, and the second lady also ran to her yard twice in three days, and the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law talked and talked, and the days were free.

Their lives are comfortable and comfortable, and some people are unhappy.

In August, osmanthus flowers are in full bloom and fragrant for a long time.

The second lady prepared a large bag of gifts, took Shangyuan with them, and the two went out together and went to Fangjia Village.

"They went too far, and they also went to the public to get the things they came back to. Don't want to have a face, why don't you let Fang Fei go directly from the public middle school! The fourth girl looked at the few pieces of osmanthus cake left after being picked off her feet in front of her, and couldn't help laughing, and said sarcastically: "It's just a concubine, and you're also happy to return to the door?" She really felt that she couldn't glorify her ancestors! ”

The family often prepares seasonal fabrics and pastries and distributes them to each house and courtyard. In the past, someone assigned it. and sent them to each of their masters. Since returning to her ancestral hometown, this rule has been broken by the second lady, saying that it is troublesome. Except for the first few people in the family, who are still sent by people, the rest are collected by people from each house and courtyard.

Naturally, the things have to be received in order. It is usually the second lady, Grandma Song, and the children under their names who have received it. It's the turn of the aunts in the big house and the second room, and finally the concubines and concubines, like the fourth girl, every time it's their turn to receive it. Most of them have already been picked by others.

The three girls approached her, and every time the two of them came together, they saw her full of complaints. Then he said: "Okay, okay, just a few osmanthus cakes." It's not a good thing, go back to my place to eat, my uncle just sent someone to deliver it, it's no worse than the one at home. ”

"Third sister, I didn't mean that, they went too far!" The fourth girl patted the table and said, "Forget it, second aunt, what kind of thing is she Fang Yuan, just an aunt, what qualifications do you have to come in front of us to receive things?" ”

"Just because someone is Mrs. Tai's sister, it's okay!" The third girl said sourly, got up and walked outside the house.

The four girls were so depressed that they sat on a round stool in the middle of the room and refused to leave.

The third girl couldn't, so she had to turn back, go around behind the fourth girl, and leaned over mysteriously: "The second aunt took Fang Yuan back to Fangjia Village today, do we want to join in the fun?" ”

"If you want to go, I won't go to add glory to people's faces." The fourth girl's anger has not subsided, and she said angrily.

"Whatever you want." The third girl shook the silk silk in her hand, forgot to go out again, and said as she walked: "If you are angry here for a day, people will not lose a single hair, and the stuffiness in the stomach will be spread out by yourself, and you will not pull it down." ”

"Wait for me, third sister." As soon as the four girls heard this, they came to their senses, and immediately chased them out with the corners of their skirts.

The Zhao family's family rules stipulate that a woman who has not left the cabinet is not allowed to step out of the door half a step if she has nothing to do.

In the past, when the Zhao family was still in Beijing, the girls in the family wanted to go out, but when Grandma Song or the ancestors went out as guests, they followed them, went out to see the world, and then went to the temple to burn incense.

The reason is very simple, if a girl makes a mistake, others will only say that it will be the girl of the Zhao family, and if a person has a bad reputation, it will affect the girls of the whole ancestor, therefore, the ancestors are very strict, and the girls have no chance to go out at all. However, the town is not as good as Jingli, and the ancestors are also old, so they are not so strict.

After the third girl and the fourth girl went back, they each changed into men's clothes, took the maid dressed as a scholar, and quietly went out through the back door.

The two of them first arrived in the town and inquired clearly that the second lady was taking Fang Yuan to walk around South Street, planning to pick out some gifts for Tian and Fang Fang before going back.

As soon as the two of them combined, they immediately set off, crossed the Luo River first, and arrived at Fangjia Village.

Tian still doesn't know about Fang Yuan, a while ago, Tian was not there, the family was robbed, the youngest daughter Fang Fang was frightened, and she has not been able to recover so far, she was shocked all day long, and when she didn't see Tian for a while, she cried and made trouble, and Tian couldn't get out of her body at all.

After the two sisters discussed, they let people take the money to hire a few long-tongued women, and spread the news of what happened to Fang Yuan in the Zhao family, and when the second lady arrived with Fang Yuan, most of the village was spread.

The Tian family was furious, and was about to go to Zhao's house to ask Fang Yuan for an explanation, but coincidentally, the second lady came to the door with Fang Yuan.

Even if the Tian family does not understand everyone's rules, the difference between wives and concubines is still clear, as soon as Fang Yuan entered the door, she was grabbed by Tian's placket, and scolded her for splitting her head and covering her face, pulling her hair and pulling her ears, and scolded her for being unproductive.

The second lady shook the fan and stood aside, her face full of disgust.

After Fang Yuan took a few solid blows, she got out from under Tian's hands, hurriedly shouted 'Mother save me', and hid behind the second lady.

Only then did Tian see that there were still people outside the courtyard gate.

She glanced up and down at the second lady, and said with a smile: "Second lady, I am a good yellow flower girl, how many big families come to say kiss, the threshold is broken, I don't agree, you can be good, let my daughter be a concubine for your son, don't say it, you still dare to come to the door, when I am a bully, right?" ”

"Mother-in-law, you misunderstood!" The second lady used a fan to cover half of her face to prevent Tian's spit from splashing on her face.

"Who is your mother?" Tian crossed his hands on his hips, his eyes were round, and he said coldly: "The eldest girl in our family is your mother-in-law, how should you call me, weigh it yourself!" ”

The corners of the second lady's eyes jumped several times, the corners of her lips pulled out a smile, and she said kindly: "Old lady, don't be angry first, listen to what I tell you slowly." ”

It was said that the second lady had already looked down first, and the Tian family was not good at deliberately making things difficult, but he was angry in his heart, so he glared at her at the moment and said, "What is there to say!" It's not a good thing your son did! Unless you straighten my daughter, there's nothing to say! ”

Straightening? Your daughter is also worthy? These two sentences flashed in the bottom of the second lady's heart.

Not to mention anything else, just saying that she was a girl who had not left the cabinet, and she had a relationship with a strange man, which has already committed the four virtues. This kind of person, the man's family can tolerate her as a concubine, which is already extraordinarily gracious, and he still wants to be the main room? It's a dream!

This time, the second lady not only jumped a few times at the corners of her eyes, but even twitched the corners of her mouth several times, and after half a sound, she adjusted her feelings, and then said in an orderly manner: "Old lady, this slap doesn't make a sound, this kind of thing spreads, and everyone won't look good on their faces." ”

Tian doesn't like to be threatened the most, she is not afraid of being embarrassed anyway, she tears her face, who is afraid of whom! At the moment, he snorted coldly, squinted his eyes and said, "What is face?" How much silver is it worth? Second lady, if you say so, I will tell you plainly, even if my family can't marry in this life, then your son won't want to get benefits! ”

The son is the weakness of the second lady, otherwise the second lady would agree to stay with Fang Yuan, what she is afraid of is that the other party will break the jar and fall, and she would rather fall into the dung pit herself than throw feces on the other party. Tian is a rural village woman, she is not afraid of throwing dirty water on herself, but the second lady is afraid, Zhao Rongyun is afraid!

The second lady secretly bit a mouthful of silver teeth, but she had to smile on her face, and said in a low voice, with the Tian clan in a consultative tone: "Old lady, we are really in trouble!" ”

"You also know that the old man in our family only went last month, the ancestor spoke, the children and grandchildren of the family keep filial piety for half a year, and they are not allowed to talk about marriage, who dares to poke the reverse scales of the ancestors, that is to be blasted out of the house!" The second lady's words, half-truths and half-falsehoods, are sandwiched between truth and falsehood, and the words are earnest, but it seems that they really can't be true, "Ayuan, this girl, I like it from the bottom of my heart, I don't believe it, ask her, she has lived in our house for more than half a month, have I treated her badly!" ”

Fang Yuan on the side nodded hurriedly.

The descendants of the Zhao family should keep filial piety for half a year, Fang Fei also said it to the Tian family, and now the second lady said it again, and the Tian family has to believe it if they don't believe it.

Seeing that there was room for relaxation, the second lady hurriedly struck while the iron was hot, and said: "If that kind of thing happens, I, as a mother, am also responsible, so I told Ayuan at that time, let her go home and wait for half a year, when the time comes, we will ask a matchmaker to come to the door, and the three media and six hired will marry Ayuan back." But Ayuan said that she couldn't wait, everyone knows the situation at home, except to wronged Ayuan as an aunt first, there is no other way, and I have no choice but to do it! ”

When Tian heard this, he was angry, he made a straight face, glared at Fang Yuan fiercely, and then looked at the idlers gathered around to watch the excitement, and said unhappily: "Don't stand at the door, go into the house and say." After speaking, he led the group into the house.

The three girls and the fourth girls were dressed in men's clothes, and when they saw that there was no excitement to see, they followed the people who were watching the excitement, and they dispersed and went to the town. (To be continued) R655
