Chapter 39: Reward
I wanted to charge Li's mother for a crime, but I didn't expect to be choked by Li's mother, Aunt Zhou gritted her teeth with hatred, "What are the things in the girl's room, don't you know what your mother is in charge of?" It's been a long time, and I haven't figured it out yet, what do I want you to do as a housekeeper?"
"It was the old lady and the eldest young master who mentioned yì, Mrs. Yunhuai, and the slave maid who came to serve the three girls." The implication is that she works as an errand in Fan Anlan's courtyard, and she has nothing to do with Aunt Zhou from beginning to end.
Aunt Zhou was so angry that she brushed her sleeves away, Fan Anlan watched her aunt angrily slam the door and leave, secretly admiring Mother Li's skills in her heart, her mother had never even been so out of shape in front of Madame!
"Mother Li, have you seen that Gu Zhenzhen's attitude today? It's just the daughter of a petty official from the fourth grade, and you dare to put on a face for me?"
Mother Li lowered her eyelids, it seems that Master Fan is also from the fourth grade, and the little lady of the Gu family is a descendant, although Fan Anlan is the granddaughter of Mrs. Fan, but the identity of the concubine is a fact that cannot be erased, in her opinion, the reason why the little lady Gu is not happy and picky everywhere is very simple.
She is a concubine, but Mrs. Fan asked her concubine to entertain her, if there is no concubine in the family, it will be fine! However, the Fan family has a concubine, and it seems that Gu Xiaoniang doesn't know that the sixth girl is still healing, and Mrs. doesn't remember that she has such a daughter, so she thinks that Mrs. Fan deliberately asked the concubine to greet her.
Ruxue stood next to her, opened her mouth several times to speak, but was pulled by Ruxin, Ruxue turned her head and glared, Ruxin shook her head at her, and finally simply took advantage of Li's mother to help the three girls pick out clothes and jewelry, and dragged Ruxue out, Ruwan casually turned her head to look at them, and then stepped forward to help Li's mother pick out jewelry for Fan Anlan.
In the carriage of the Gu family, Gu Yuzhen hugged her mother's arm and complained, "You say, is this Mrs. Fan very unaware of etiquette?"
Mrs. Gu poked her fingers, Gu Yuzhen let go of her hand and brushed it on her forehead, "What do you know?" When you hear people talk outside, you think you are right?"
Seeing that her daughter was displeased, she told her daughter about Fan Anyang, and Mrs. Gu said, "...... What's wrong with Madame Fan letting your cousin greet you personally?" Mrs. Gu thought about the friendship between her and Mrs. Fan when she was young, and compared with today's polite estrangement, she knew that because of the actions of the second sister, their friendship could never go back to the past!
Although she hoped that her daughter could make friends with the daughter of the Fan family, but Fan Anyang was recuperating, and her daughter had a lot of opinions about her aunt's children, and she even looked down on her own cousin, Mrs. Gu couldn't help but sigh when she thought about it.
It was night, after Lord Gu took the lamp, he arrived home, changed clothes and washed, and had dinner with his wife and daughter, he took his son to the study, and asked about the situation in Fan's Mansion today, Gu Yuye talked to his father with great interest, chatted with Brother Fan Amber, and also talked about the party, Lord Gu nodded secretly, and after asking his son about his knowledge, the father and son broke up and went back to their rooms.
Mrs. Gu waited for her husband to rest while talking about the marriage of her daughter and son.
"Brother Ye'er's marriage, I have to take another look." Master Gu told his wife not to worry, "You have to take care of Brother Xing'er and Sister Yu'er's marriage." β
Mrs. Gu nodded softly. "The concubine remembers it, but Brother Xing'er is a concubine, what kind of family does the master plan to find for him?"
"It's good to be a solid person, he doesn't read as well as his brother, and he may have no hope of entering the profession in the future." Master Gu is very realistic, and he will not want him to marry a wife on the same level as the eldest son just because Brother Xing'er is a favorite concubine.
Mrs. Gu nodded, "As for Sister Yu'er, the concubine's sister-in-law mentioned her maiden nephew last time. The sister-in-law that Mrs. Gu said was Mrs. Hou Shizi of Yongning, but Lord Gu frowned.
"Look again! Where's Sister Zhen'er?"
"The concubine has seen the three young masters of the Fan Mansion today."
Master Gu showed joy on his face, and then disappeared without a trace. "Master Fan, we don't have to think about it! I'm afraid that Mrs. Fan won't look down on Sister Zhen. "How many catties his daughter has, he doesn't know how much he is a father.
Mrs. Gu had to smile bitterly when she heard this, "The eldest young master who came out of the concubine doesn't dare to think about it, but, my sister's son ......"
"You took advantage of the idea of marrying the Fan family as soon as possible." Master Gu reprimanded coldly.
"Sir?" Mrs. Gu was stunned and looked at her husband in amazement.
Master Gu looked at his wife, "Think about it carefully, our sister Zhen is very pampered, can she soften her body to marry a concubine?" If Sister Zhen marries that child, she will have two mothers-in-law, a mother-in-law, and a mother-in-law, and a mother-in-law, and her mother-in-law may not take care of her, but what will your sister think of Sister Zhen?"
He paused and looked at his wife's ever-changing expression, "Don't you forget, back then, she could even calculate the person who reached out to help her, how could she let go of her daughter-in-law?" If you marry this family, I am afraid that Brother Ye will be dragged down in the future. β
Mrs. Gu's face was hot, she was able to marry the Gu family, it was the second sister who was maneuvering from it, and she could get her wish, but the second sister designed herself and designed Mrs. Fan in order to get rid of the eldest aunt, and she didn't forget it, but what about Wenhe? She was entrusted to herself, but the second sister took advantage of her inconvenience to seduce her husband, and finally forced her to intercede with her in-laws and let the second sister enter Fan's house.
The husband knew very well about this matter, so he did not agree to this family business, and she really couldn't refute it.
"Mrs. Fan only helped because of her friendship with you back then, but your second sister calculated against her......" Lord Gu made no secret of his disdain, his wife may not understand until now, her second sister is not just robbing her husband.
He is good at the name of the crime, and he has seen a lot of the means of fighting in the house! Maybe he didn't understand it when he was young, but now he can't see that his second aunt is punishable.
Mrs. Gu waited for her husband to go to bed, and after lying on the bed, she looked at the top of the bed and couldn't sleep for a long time.

The morning sun dawned, and the morning light gently paced the steps, patio, verandah, and newly placed chrysanthemum potted plants under the verandah, blooming delicately to welcome the rising sun.
Fan Anyang yawned lazily, got up under the waiter of Moxiang and Zhuxiang, and when Fan Anyue led the maid holding the rosewood box into Zhaoran Courtyard, she was already sitting on the warm couch in the west room, ready to eat breakfast.
"Xiaolu is coming for breakfast?"
Fan Anyue looked at the breakfast on the kang table and nodded reluctantly. "Look at your pitiful, I'll accompany you!" Fan Anyue's style of showing kindness to others made Fan Anyang pout secretly.
After eating, Fan Anyue said, "Where! I got it from my mother."
"What?" Speaking of her mother-in-law, Fan Anyang was in a complicated mood, during this time, he deliberately didn't think about her, but his eyes were red when Fan Anyue mentioned her. "She has something good for you?"
"When we went all the way back to Beijing, we bought it on the road. Did you forget? My mother said to put her there first, and then return it to us when I come back. Fan Anyue saw that Fan Anyang was still at a loss, and felt a little uncomfortable, so he asked people to clean up the kang table and put a few wooden boxes up, and the first box was filled with dolls made of fine pottery, which were more detailed and exquisite than the dolls that Fan Ansong took out to show Gu Yuye the day before.
The second box is filled with all kinds of children's toys made of bamboo, and the third is a small sandbag sewn with various colors of silk and brocade, and the gold and silver threads on it are shining, and Fan Anyang's eyes are lit up. When I was a child, I also played with the nuns' homemade sandbags, small sandbags sewn from sacks of rice, and they were filled with small pebbles in the yard.
"You won't forget everything, will you?" Fan Anyue looked at her a little hesitantly, the imperial doctor said that Ah Zhao's brain was burned out, didn't he say that he had forgotten all the previous things?
Fan Anyang was a little uneasy, afraid that Fan Anyue would see something, so he pouted, "You play for me!"
Fan Anyue was about to say something, when the door curtain rang softly, and it was Fan Amber who walked in.
"Xiaolu, you're here." Fan Anbo was a little surprised, and when he saw what Fan Anyue brought, he couldn't help laughing. "Didn't you say yesterday that you don't have the same knowledge as your third brother?"
Fan Anyue turned his head and said awkwardly: "It's not like him!" That eye of yours sees that I can't get along with him?"
"Then why did you run to my mother's place and take these things out?"
Fan Anyang looked left and right in confusion, Fan Amber reached out and touched her head: "Your third brother took some of his favorite gadgets yesterday and showed them to the guests at home, after the guests left, Xiaolu and your third brother had an awkward quarrel if they didn't agree with each other."
"Who's messing with him!" Fan Anyue raised his nose and snorted disdainfully.
"Really?"
"Of course." Fan Anyue paused, "Say that I have no vision, and the things I collect must not be good, otherwise my mother didn't let me put it out." β
Can this also be noisy? Fan Anyang looked down at the wooden box on the kang table, from a modern point of view, these things are rough except for the sandbag, the sandbag is because the cloth used is high-quality, it seems to be a few extravagant, others such as dolls, bamboo gadgets, the workmanship is actually not fine, the bamboo dragonfly on the bamboo piece, it feels prickly, polished carefully enough, the doll is a little turbid, and the color is not bright, but it is better than simplicity and nature.
But in Fan Amber's opinion, these things on the kang are indeed a few grades better than the ones that the third brother took out to show Gu Jiye. "What are you doing with him? Who accompanies you and Ah Zhao when they go out, and who accompanies him when he goes out, the places they go to are naturally different. β
Fan Amber knows his mother very well, the dragon and phoenix fetus are going out on the road, and he must be accompanied by the chief steward who accompanies him, of course, the store he goes to will not be a small shop, and the things he sells are of course exquisite and expensive, the third brother is just a concubine, and he is older than his younger siblings, so he sends a steward to accompany him, and there is a small servant waiting for him, and the place to go is naturally chosen by him, and the steward who accompanies him to go out will not bring him to those stores with high prices and fine workmanship, Fan Ansong If he really likes something, what can he do if he doesn't have so much money on him?
Fan Amber felt that the places where the two people went were not comparable at all, so why bother to compare? It's just that it's hard to find out if there is evil, it's like piercing through a layer of window paper, piercing it too clearly, and both sides are in pain.
Fan Anyang fiddled with the delicate sandbag, and looked at Fan Anyue absentmindedly, speaking of which, although Fan Anyue is young, he is much more reliable than Fan Ansong!
"Big brother, Xiaolu said that there are wild things in the garden, can you take me to see them?" He Zhang's family didn't let her go, she has been detained in the yard, can't walk outside, she has never been a housemaid, she has been locked in the house for the past few months, it is the limit, if she doesn't let her go out and walk around, she will go crazy!
"Done! When the weather is stable and warmer, I will take you to see it. β
"Really? Can't break your promise! Fan Anyang stared at her eldest brother with wide eyes.
"Retractor." For a rare time when he was naΓ―ve, Fan Amber reached out and pulled the hook with her.
Fan Anyue jumped over and talked about the fact that he went to tease the wild fox two days ago, and suddenly someone from outside came in to report urgently, "Young Master, there is an angel in the palace, Madame asked you to take the Seventh Young Master to receive the order." β
