Chapter 295: Apology
No matter what Zhao Wei and Gao Zhen thought, Zhao Xiu's impression of the other five girls Fang Renzhu was still okay, even if he didn't wait to see the Fang family, he didn't plan to turn this little girl of the same age away. The Zhang family also had the same opinion, so the grandparents and grandchildren invited Miss Fang Wu to the main room in the backyard.
Zhao Wei is a man, go and do your own thing, the female guest has nothing to do with him. As for Gao Zhen, he was planning to go home, so he naturally went home. However, after the prince of Guangping returned to the palace, no one knew where he would go and what he would do.
Miss Fang Wu is still wearing the same clothes as at today's poetry meeting, she has not changed it, and the fat powder has been reapplied, but she can vaguely see that her eyelids are a little red and swollen, and she seems to have just cried. Zhao Xiu had a conjecture in his heart and exchanged a look with Zhang.
Miss Fang Wu respectfully greeted Zhang's family and met Zhao Xiu again. Although Zhang liked her appearance and behavior a little as soon as he saw her appearance, he couldn't help but cold his face when he thought of what her sister had done, and said indifferently: "Miss Fang Wu doesn't need to be polite, my granddaughter is a guest at the house today, and I want to thank the house for your hospitality." It's really ...... It was an eye-opener for my children! ”
Miss Fang Wu probably understood the meaning of her words, and her eyes turned red at once, but she could still maintain her composure, and said guiltily: "My sister was confused for a while, I offended Miss Zhao, I will compensate the old lady and Miss Zhao for my sister, and ask the old lady and Miss Zhao to forgive me!" "As he spoke, he knelt down.
Zhao Xiu hurriedly got up and helped her: "What are you doing?" What does that have to do with you? Did you know beforehand? ”
Miss Fang Wu lowered her head and said, "Although I don't know, it's not that I can't guess that she has ulterior motives. I just didn't expect ......"
Seeing that she was frank and her posture was low enough, Zhang's anger in his heart disappeared a little. Then he asked Miss Fang Wu: "What does your sister want to do?" She deliberately pretended to be injured today, right? It's also deliberately trying to lead my granddaughter to that Yuebanxuan, right? Is this to let my granddaughter be alone with the son of the Shang family? ”
Fifth Miss Fang bit her lip and looked embarrassed. Zhao Xiu pulled her to sit down next to her: "Don't be embarrassed, I encountered this kind of thing at your house, and I will definitely sue my family when I go home." We've guessed countless times before you came. I heard that your family is interested in marrying the Shang family? The son of the Shang family will go to your house today, don't you look at each other? He stayed alone in Yuebanxuan, he was actually waiting for your sister, right? ”
Fifth Miss Fang saw that she had almost guessed. It didn't make any sense to hide it any longer, so he simply turned his heart sideways: "Yes, my father and mother mentioned the marriage to the cousin and aunt of the Shang family." The cousin of the Shang family brought Cousin Shang to see each other. My sister actually didn't want to, but she didn't dare to say it directly, so she wanted to use other methods to get rid of this matter. She shouldn't have involved Miss Zhao, Miss Zhao had nothing to do with this matter. It's just ......" Fang Wu girl paused. I just felt that I couldn't say the next words anyway. Originally, her mother had taught her how to defend her eldest sister in front of the Zhao family. It is necessary to make the eldest sister's crime as light as possible, saying that the eldest sister chose the Zhao family girl because the latter is the youngest and is the least likely to damage her reputation because of this incident. But isn't that a lie? The Zhao family clearly knew it in their hearts, and if they prevaricated with lies, wouldn't it be even more obvious that the Fang family had no sincerity in admitting their mistakes? It also violates her code of conduct.
Zhao Xiu looked at her expression and faintly guessed: "Just what?" Just isn't there a better candidate? I actually thought that Sister Ling just chose me casually. But then I thought about the situation at the poetry meeting, and I always felt that this event should have been planned a long time ago. Not to mention that your second cousin's girl splashed tea and splashed it weirdly. I lost my handkerchief before, and I have nothing to do with your fourth cousin's girl. But the two sisters in the second room of your family are not dealing with me in the first place, and if they want to make a fool of me, although they are a little stupid, it is not impossible. But the girl named Yuege is clearly Sister Ling's person, she knows that I already have a cup of tea in front of me, and I want to give another cup, and the tea is not hot, it seems that it will not burn people if it is splashed. I thought it was strange at the time. Although she planted this black cauldron on Miss Wang's head at that time, I think that Miss Wang and her sister-in-law should be the same kind of people, thinking that they are noble and extraordinary, and it is polite to open and close their mouths. Such a person would not take the initiative to do such rude things. She should just be framed, and the person who planted the blame is naturally Sister Ling and her girl. They are doing this to take me out of the Hall of Inquiry, right? In order to achieve their goal, they also specially arranged for me and Miss Wang to sit together when they changed seats. It was someone else, knowing that I was at odds with her, and we had already been separated. You say, don't you? ”
Miss Fang Wu had to admire. That's the way it is. It was precisely because when eating laba porridge that the eldest sister arranged the seats differently from the pre-order, Zhao Xiu, who should have been far away from each other, sat with Miss Wang, and the eldest sister exchanged glances with Yunqu Yuege, and when she saw it next to her, she realized that something was wrong. She vaguely felt that the eldest sister was going to calculate something against Zhao Xiu, but she never expected that the eldest sister would be so bold.
Zhang said a little angrily: "In this way, Sister Ling has already calculated that she wants to trap my granddaughter and the son of the Shang family together?" That's too much! Although my granddaughter is still young, but after the New Year, she is also a twelve-year-old person, and the girl's reputation is the most important, if she is damaged by her calculations, she can get rid of the Shang family's relatives, but how to tell other people's daughters to behave? If she really wants to fulfill the son of the Shang family and other ladies, she can find a girl who is a good match with the Shang family and has never been married, so that the Shang family happens to have a family affair that is quite the same, and she gets rid of the marriage she doesn't want, isn't it the best of both worlds? Looking for my granddaughter and a little girl, is this disgusting to our Zhao family, or is it deliberately blocking the Shang family?! ”
Miss Fang Wu was speechless. Where did she have the face to say that Miss Fang chose Zhao Xiu, in fact, for her younger sister?
The more Zhang spoke, the more angry he became: "In the past, I was only the daughter of the Fang family, and they were all beautiful women who were knowledgeable and courteous, and their appearance was perfect, and Sister Ling was even more famous, but it turned out to be just a fame and reputation!" It's obviously not that good, but it's bragging so loudly, what is your family trying to do? Blow your sisters to heaven. If there is nothing underground, do you want to climb the dragon and attach the phoenix?! ”
Miss Fang's face turned red, ashamed and ashamed. I can't wait to dig a hole in the ground and get into it.
It was the words "climbing the dragon and attaching the phoenix" that reminded Zhao Xiu. There should be no hope for Miss Fang to enter the palace, and the matter of Miss Fang's election as the eldest concubine of the emperor has not yet been decided, but the rumors from the outside world say that she is very hopeful, and the Fang family also thinks so. Speaking of which, she was the same age as Fifth Miss Fang, and she was only a few months apart. If it is said that the Fang family regards her as a competitor of the fifth girl Fang, it seems that it is not impossible......
Zhao Xiu remembered how many times her grandmother had recently entered the palace to see the Queen Mother, could the Fang family have a wrong association because of this?
But it's not good to mention this in front of Zhang. Zhao Xiu persuaded her: "Grandmother, don't be angry, it's Miss Fang who is wrong in this matter, although Miss Fang is her own sister, but she is not a roundworm in her stomach." Where can you know so many things? Look at her a little girl. The skin is very thin, but I still mustered up the courage to apologize to us, and this alone is very rare. Do you say? ”
Zhang calmed down a little, and looked at Fang Wu's face with a look of shame and death, and her anger gradually subsided. Fifth Miss Fang was a little younger than her granddaughter, she was thin and weak, and her face was pale at this time. It looks like it's going to be blown over by the wind at any moment. The slender woman came to apologize alone. It's not easy. Thanks to the Fang family, it was the eldest daughter who made the mistake, but the younger daughter was pushed out to make amends. Don't they think they're thick-skinned?
Zhang didn't want to worry about the little girl anymore. Thinking about the five girls who came to Fang was outstanding, it was already rare. The granddaughter thinks she's not a bad person. It's not interesting for an old woman to chase a little girl anymore, it's just a little pitiful Fang Wu girl, how can she have such a sister?
Zhang sighed, and the other five girls said: "That's it, you are not the one who harmed my granddaughter, what does my wife have to do with you?" It's just Miss Fang, you have such a temperament and such a family, it's better not to have that dream of climbing the dragon and attaching the phoenix. What is the palace place? You can't handle it. Not only you, but even your sister can't handle it. I don't know if you ever regretted that she couldn't enter the palace, I only have one sentence, she is so smart, it's a blessing that she didn't enter the palace! ”
Miss Fang Wu was a little stunned, she didn't understand what the Zhang family meant, but Zhang's tone didn't seem to be ridiculing their sisters, but with kindness. She silently made a big gift, which was regarded as thanking the other party for the reminder.
It's just that whether she enters the palace or not, whether she marries into the royal family or not, that's not something she can say. How could she be willing to climb the high branches? It's just doing what your parents tell you to do. Her parents raised her as an adult, and the family provided her with fine clothes and food, and she had nothing to repay except for being obedient.
Zhang sighed, remembering the Beijing lady when she was young, when the Fang family lady was a real lady, she only had to look up. Once upon a time, the Fang family had fallen to this point?
Zhao Xiu saw that his grandmother recalled the past, and hurriedly looked for an opportunity to retire. She dragged Fang Wu girl back to her room, sent the girls out, and asked Bi Han to guard the door, before she lowered her voice and asked the other party: "Your sister chose me as the object of calculation, could it be a misunderstanding?" ”
Fifth Miss Fang's face turned red all of a sudden, and she couldn't say anything.
Seeing this, Zhao Xiu sighed: "Don't sue me, you think I'm going to compete with you for the position of the eldest princess." ”
Miss Fang's red face gradually turned pale, she bit her lip, and said after a while, "I'm sorry, it's all my fault." ”
Zhao Xiu disagreed: "What does this have to do with you?" Are you going to hurt me? ”
Miss Fang Wu lowered her head and did not say a word.
Zhao Xiu said to her: "Go back and tell your father and mother and your eldest sister, I have no interest in the emperor's eldest son at all." If they think my grandmother has something in mind because the Queen Mother summoned my grandmother a few times a few days ago, I can only say that they misunderstood. It's really who you are, and you think others are what you are. The Queen Mother recently likes to be nostalgic and talk about things when she was young, my grandmother is the same age as her, and she was in the capital when she was young, so I have a common topic with her on many things. My grandmother is also from a scholarly family, and her heart is very high, and she is not uncommon for her to be a relative. Our family was the founding title of the founding of the country obtained by my grandfather for his military exploits, and my brother also inherited the title of grandfather with real rescue merits. If she had such scheming ambitions, she would not have been forced to go back to her hometown by Zhao Jiong and Zhao Jue's father and son. ”
After saying this, Miss Fang Wu was ashamed, she took Zhao Xiu's hand and said, "It's our family's fault, I'm really sorry for you." ”
Zhao Xiu's face softened a lot: "Forget it, I didn't suffer any losses this time." If you are smart, don't shout about it everywhere, if you really shout it, your sister's reputation won't need to be wanted. If you encounter anything in the future, you will find out first. Even if you find out, don't use this method to root out competitors. There is no impermeable wall in the world, and the saints are wise today. Besides, how do you know that what you want will succeed? Even if your family kills all of your competitors, as long as the royal family doesn't plan to choose you, it's all in vain in the end. If you really have that kind of thought, just try your best to express yourself, and don't care what other people do. ”
Fifth Miss Fang nodded again and again when she heard this, and her face turned red again.
Zhao Xiu felt that she was particularly cute today, much more pleasing to the eye than the cold and proud appearance when they met before, so she smiled: "Okay, don't think so much." Be happy, tomorrow is your birthday. I'm not going to talk about what happened today, but don't do it again in the future. provokes others, but I may not be as good as talking. ”
At this time, she suddenly remembered a question: "Ah, by the way, I won't tell anyone about this matter today, your family can also keep it secret, the prince of Guangping is not a gossip person, what about the Shang family?" Will they tell anyone else about this? ”
Fang Wu's face turned white. (To be continued......)
