Chapter 359: Ambition

Fang Yishan's family arrived late, and the banquet had just begun. Today is not a big feast, there are not many guests, and the place where the banquet is not large, so whether the family is on the male or female guest table, it seems very abrupt, and it is simply a clear statement to everyone: We are a family, but we don't give face to the guests, so we came so late.

Mrs. Meishan Bo looked at Mrs. Fang Si with some surprise, but she still had a smile on her face and didn't say much. Mrs. Fang's face darkened slightly, then returned to normal, and she greeted Mrs. Fang Si with a smile, but it was just a sentence. She didn't even take the initiative to invite Mrs. Fang Si to the main family table, Mrs. Fang Si could only go to the two seats of the clansmen's daughters and relatives to squeeze it, and stay with a group of concubines who she didn't look down on for a long time, and the boss felt uncomfortable in her heart, and her face darkened.

The second girl Fang and the fourth girl Fang sisters sat on the boudoir seat, and there were many people coming today, and the Fang family specially prepared two large round tables to greet all the ladies, so their sisters joined in, and it was not crowded. It's just that the little girls are not so deep in the city, and when they saw that they were late, someone went to ask the reason. Fang Er's girl blurted out that there was a guest at home, but who knew that Fang Si girl also said at the same time that her mother was unwell today, and they dismantled each other's platforms.

The two sisters looked at each other, their expressions a little stiff. Miss Fang Si hurriedly wanted to speak first to make amends, but was glared at by her sister, so she had to shut up. The second girl smiled and said to everyone: "My mother is a little unwell in the morning, so she plans to come later, and she doesn't want to have guests before she goes out." Hence the delay. I'm sorry to have you waiting. ”

Anyone who knows the Fang family in Beijing knows that the eldest daughter of the Fang family is too big today. According to the rules, all the clansmen must go to Daohe to watch the ceremony, who would choose to visit today without eyes? Besides, if it is a male guest, Fang Yishan will stay as a guest, at most, he will call his son Fang Jinju as a companion, but his wife and daughter can withdraw. On the contrary, if it is a female guest, then Fang Yishan and his son can leave first. Just leave Mrs. Fang Si to entertain guests, and you don't even need to bring your two daughters. If the guests are both men and women, you can always send a son or daughter to represent you, right? But Fang Yishan's family didn't show up. Obviously, he didn't take the happy events of the branch to heart. Who can be deceived by such an excuse?

Girls, you look at me, I look at you, facing the obvious lie of the Fang family sisters. People don't know how to react. The girl who asked just now also kept silent. She was a little angry in her heart. I felt that it was normal for me to ask, why did the Fang sisters lie and deceive her? It's not what a good friend should do!

The scene was a little deserted. Seeing this, today's protagonist Fang Huizhu picked up the previous amiable big sister and started a round: "The fourth aunt is unwell, and she has to run around for her nephew's affairs, and her nephew really can't help it." The second sister and the fourth sister are really, why didn't they sue me earlier? If it was for my sake, it delayed the fourth aunt's condition. It's my sin! When she said this, she deliberately raised her voice. Let all the wives hear. This was not enough, she also specially asked Mrs. Fang in a concerned tone: "Mother, why don't we invite a doctor for the fourth aunt to take a look?" If the fourth aunt's condition drags on, it will not be good for her body. ”

Mrs. Fang felt that her daughter was a little too hot, so she gave her a look, but she responded: "That's fine." You know that you are doing the right thing to care about and honor your elders. By the way, help her daughter say something nice in front of her future mother-in-law. Mrs. Meishan Bo smiled: "Oh, what a caring good boy." Mrs. in-laws, you raised Sister Hui so well! Mrs. Fang looked at her and said modestly: "Where is it, she still has many shortcomings, please teach her more in the future." ”

The two mothers were polite to each other, but Mrs. Fang Si felt a little sick in her heart, her daughter said that she was unwell, it was just an excuse, why did Fang Huizhu's mother and daughter say as if she was seriously ill? But in front of so many people, she couldn't tear down her daughter's platform, so she could only say dryly: "Where is it that you are so sick?" It's just that the sun is shining today, and I'm a little dizzy from the sun, and I've drunk the heat-relieving soup, and I'm already fine. Afraid that others would continue to entangle around this topic, he quickly changed the topic, and said to Mrs. Meishan with a smile on his face: "When I came in just now, I saw it." The dowry in the house is really rich! It's really worthy of the uncle's house, and hiring a second daughter-in-law is such a big deal! ”

Mrs. Meishan Bo smiled: "Where, the two sons are my own sons, and I am interested in which one marries a daughter-in-law." Besides, a girl who makes her niece such a good girl can only be worthy of such a rich dowry! ”

Mrs. Fang Si laughed dryly a few times, feeling a little uncomfortable in her heart. The daughter of the grandmother, who has looked good since she was a child, but her character is not very good, so she caused trouble for the whole family, ruined the reputation of the daughter of the family, turned around and actually climbed into the marriage of the Bofu, or the young master of the grandmother, it is really shit luck! Her daughter, I don't know if she can say that she has a good relationship.

Mrs. Fang Si was still envious, jealous and hateful there, and the other girls listened to it, but it was another thought. Mrs. Meishan Bo actually thinks that the dowry she took out is worthy of a girl like Huizhu above, is she praising or belittling? Miss Wang wanted to make a high statement again, but was stopped by her very eye-catching friend. Fang Huizhu sat in place, her face was red and white for a while, thinking of her sister Fang Renzhu's family affairs, that is, a famous scholarly family, although Shang Qiong is not as handsome as Qiu Huiyou, the second son of the Qiu family, but Qiu Huiyou does not take the imperial examination, because of Enyin, the two of them are only half a catty and eight taels, but the Shang family is noble, and will never let her sister suffer the grievances she suffered today, and her thoughts in her heart are a little complicated.

Fang Huizhu couldn't help but glance at her sister, but she happened to be opposite Zhao Xiu who was sitting next to Fang Renzhu. Zhao Xiu pulled the corners of her mouth at her, smiling without smiling, and a little sarcastic. She felt that Zhao Xiu was laughing at herself, her face turned pale, and she turned her head away angrily.

Zhao Xiu was actually ridiculing Fang Huizhu's words just now, which sounded very gentle and considerate, but was actually sneering. Who in the audience couldn't see that Fang Er and Fang Si were lying? If she really wants to play a round, she should blur things up, quickly change the topic, and let the ladies no longer pay attention to Fang Erfang's lies, and the matter will be over. But she continued to follow the tone of the two of them, and also involved the matter on Mrs. Fang Si, drawing the attention of the ladies over, which was equivalent to making Mrs. Fang Si's mother and daughter lose face together.

Obviously, Fang Huizhu is also angry with the fourth wife's family today. She was neglected by others, and it is normal to be angry, but when she is angry, she has to pretend to be generous, and she can't help but ridicule while pretending to be generous, she wants to be a good person, and she is praised by everyone, and she also wants to think of the evil anger in her heart, how can there be such a good thing in the world? Does Fang Huizhu really think that no one here can hear it? Even she, Zhao Xiu, a little white who has not officially experienced backyard fighting, can see that among the daughters of these big families, there may not be a few masters of house fighting. If she continues to use such superficial means to play tricks with others, beware of kicking the iron plate one day!

Zhao Xiu pursed her lips and casually lowered her head and took a sip of sherbet. Fang Renzhu next to her didn't know if she understood or understood something, so she reached out and pressed it lightly on the back of her hand, which seemed to have some reassurance. Zhao Xiu smiled at her, and ate the food absently.

At the end of the banquet, Mrs. Meishan and Mrs. Fang said goodbye politely, with a smile and a smile, and the other guests also said goodbye one after another. Zhao Xiu made an appointment with Fang Renzhu that before the latter left Beijing, he would definitely go to Jiannanhou's Mansion as a guest, and the little sisters separated. Zhao Xiu felt that he came to congratulate him today, the process was still very pleasant, and he was in a good mood when he left, and he was very interested in planning to gossip about the dowry gift from Meishan Bofu with his grandmother Zhang after returning home.

But Mrs. Fang's fourth wife, mother and daughter, are not in such a good mood. Miss Fang Si cried when she returned home with her mother, she was not convinced: "Why can Fang Huizhu have such a blessing?" If she really entered the palace, it would be fine, there is a sister who is the imperial concubine, and we also have a light on our faces. But she can't be the imperial concubine, and her reputation is ruined, so she should go to the nunnery to be a sister-in-law! As a result, because she is the daughter of the patriarch, she can still marry into such a good family and trample us all under our feet. Is there any heavenly reason in this world?! ”

Miss Fang Er was also uncomfortable, but she was even more annoyed by her sister's words: "If you are not convinced, find someone better than her, and you will have a destiny in the future, and you will trample her under your feet for the rest of your life." You can't do it, what nonsense is there here? It's so easy to make the whole family angry with you! ”

Miss Fang Si retorted and said, "Don't I want to? But who called my father a young official, and he didn't have the ability of a patriarch to find good relatives for our sisters? My sister doesn't say anything big to my sister, are you willing to look at Fang Huizhu's smug appearance? ! ”

Second Miss Fang was naturally unwilling, but compared with her sister's irritability, she was more inclined to say small things in front of her mother: "Mother, you just went late unintentionally today, and you were ridiculed by the eldest sister in front of everyone, she didn't take the elders in her eyes at all, don't you want to teach her a lesson?" ”

Mrs. Fang Si wanted to teach Fang Huizhu a lesson, but she knew that she didn't have that confidence. But looking at her two daughters, she couldn't help but feel distressed. When they were not married at home, the sisters were already superior to each other because of their fathers and brothers' official positions and their status in the clan, and the two daughters had to flatter the daughters of their sons since they were young. In the future, when they all get married, her daughter will definitely have to marry into an ordinary family, and she will continue to look up to her daughters and flatter them around them. If it was a trouble-free person like Fang Renzhu, it would be fine, but Fang Huizhu is now more and more exposed to her arrogant and unforgiving nature, does her daughter have to be angry with people for the rest of her life?

Mrs. Fang Si gritted her teeth: "That's it!" Your father also thought about your family. The princess and the princess are not up to the grid, and it is not necessary to be a side concubine. I still feel sorry for you and don't want you to be small, but if you want to be angry, what about being small? The side concubine also has a fate! When Fang Huizhu saw you, she only had to bow down. Tomorrow, I will find you to raise your grandmother, and I must earn a good future for your sisters! ”

Second Miss Fang and Fourth Miss Fang glanced at each other, and their faces showed joy. (To be continued......)
