Chapter 144: Enlightenment and Persuasion
Fang Wanru said with a bitter face: "Mother, Qian'er's family affairs have not been decided, can I not worry?" You also know that the family affairs of the Jia family were planned by me a long time ago, and I tried my best to marry Qian'er to the second master of the Jia family, just to let her have a good home, but the Jia family had a tough attitude, and it seemed that she had to marry the third girl, and I ......was in a hurry" Speaking of this, Fang Wanru's face had a stupid look, she glanced at the Bodhisattva enshrined in the shrine with her eyes, and then stopped her mouth and changed her words: "You don't know about this matter, and later when I borrowed the plum blossom, I deliberately went to explore the tone of Jiafu, and just saw the improvement, and there was a matter of four girls, You said, it's a good family business, but there is no follow-up after talking, can I not be in a hurry? Later, it was rumored that the second master of Jiafu was going to Beijing to report on his work, what does this mean? Isn't it that people don't look down on our family? ”
Fang Shi was not in the mood to listen to her say these old things, and said in a deep voice: "Let's talk about the point." ”
"I still want Qianxin to marry into Jiafu, the second master can't do it, or the third master of the Jia family! But now that girl is so powerful, will it ruin the good thing of Qianxin? Fang Wanru was afraid that Qin Dai's heart would not die, and she was afraid that she would be the daughter-in-law of the Jia family and destroy her daughter's marriage.
Fang Shi thought for a moment, and knocked on the table with hatred of iron and steel, "You are also a brainless, our girl has discussed marriage with the second master of their house, how can you worry about the third master Jia?" Do you want the face of the girl in our house? ”
"It's just a brief mention, and there is no military horse artillery to make it clear, what's the matter?" The Jia family and the Qin Mansion have never explicitly said that they want to marry, but they have privately said that the four girls are concubines.
Fang Shi said again: "Isn't that girl still worried?" There is no faith in the Li family in Jiangdong? Won't your mother-in-law's words work? Is it possible that her father can't hold her down? Since ancient times, parents have been in charge of all major marriage events, is it difficult for you to make your idea, and there is not a girl who can't do it? ”
When Fang Wanru heard this, she suddenly opened her mouth and was overjoyed: "Yes, I am her mother-in-law." No one will try to cross me. ”
Fang Shi said: "It's good that you have the mind to guard against her, after all, ......" She didn't say anything next, but Fang Wanru knew what she was going to say, and nodded solemnly at the moment.
"Don't worry, I understand."
Fang Shi said impatiently, "What do you understand? "Her daughter-in-law, like her father and her own brother, has always been smart and self-righteous.
Fang said: "You listened carefully to me, three girls." It's not as simple as you think. ”
Fang Wanru didn't quite understand what Fang meant by the Fang family, that girl was just a bite to eat and grow wise. Just understand some truths, how simple can it be?
Fang's family had the intention to tell her about Qin Daixin's plan to design Gongsun Jin, but she was worried that her daughter-in-law would know about the scandal of her daughter and grandson, and after weighing the severity, she still decided to hide it. The crime of bandits is not small, Qin Daixin was tied up at the beginning, and the whole Qinfu was jumped, and it took a while to slowly subside, and now if the daughter-in-law knows, I am afraid that she will be blamed for her mother-in-law's partiality, if they are worried about this matter. But it's not beautiful.
"In short, remember my words, for the three girls, you can't blindly suppress them. Nor can you indulge all the time. That girl has now become transparent and clever, and if you can pay equal attention to her, I believe she will be your help in the future. Fang's face had an extremely serious look, which made Fang Wanru not know what to do.
Be her help? Is it possible?
Fang Clan naturally could see through her mind and knew that she had doubts in her heart.
"Don't doubt what I say. Take your time and you'll know. "This girl is not simple, maybe......
Fang's eyes sank slightly. Maybe she's never been so ignorant......
At this moment, Mother Wan walked in, she walked up to Fang's side, and whispered something in her ear.
Fang said: "I know, you go down!" ”
Mother Wan bowed her knees and retreated, and only her mother-in-law and daughter-in-law were left in the Buddhist hall.
"Don't go too far in everything, you're an old person, and you're still jealous? He's the head of the family, what's wrong with taking a fancy to the people in your room? You have Zicheng by your side, what are you worried about? ”
Fang Wanru said: "But what ugly words did someone say in your ear?" It means that Qin Congwen said something that should not be said.
Fang Shi said helplessly: "Who else deliberately said anything in my ear?" People have been kneeling in your yard for so long, and I am neither deaf nor blind, do you not know? Now that the person has fainted, what do you think of this? ”
Fang Wanru disagreed, picked up the teacup and took a sip of tea, looking still angry, and had a posture of ignoring it.
Fang sighed, in the end, he was squeamish, he was also a famous family, and he was arrogant when he was young, but he didn't do what he wanted like her!
If she wasn't her own niece, she wouldn't bother to care about her mess.
"Why don't you go back and see? Do you really want him to get the letter and rush back? I gave birth to a son, I know, he is greedy for freshness, but he also cares about the old feelings, you gave birth to the eldest son and grandson of our Qin family for him, and he manages the whole family, how can he not miss your good? Now that you are a concubine and a husband and wife, it is difficult to guarantee that no one will take the opportunity to fish in troubled waters to please him, and you will only wake up when the time comes, I am afraid that it will be too late. "The Fang family has always understood Fang Wanru's mind best, if you persuade her bitterly, she may not be willing to listen, but Fang Wanru is also a human being, as long as she is a human being, she has a weakness, and it is always right for you to order her seven inches.
Jealousy and greed for power and status are Fang Wanru's dead ends, as long as you see that she still controls the family's financial power and refuses to delegate responsibility to the Lin family, you can see one or two.
Sure enough, Fang Wanru listened to Fang's words, and became nervous at the moment, on the surface, her mother-in-law was defending her son, but after thinking about it, she felt that her mother-in-law's words were reasonable.
"Mother, daughter-in-law will go back." Fang Wanru got up immediately and prepared to go back to her yard to deal with housework.
"Yo, figured it out?" Fang Shi was in a rare mood to make fun of her.
Fang Wanru said: "How could my daughter-in-law not know such a simple truth!" It's just that I'm unwilling to face it. Mother is right, you can't be cheap with those foxes. ”
Fang didn't mind her unkind tone, and said immediately: "Go back!" Come back, I'll be quiet. ”
Fang Wanru said: "You are also tired, I will serve you to rest!" After speaking, he helped Fang Shi to walk outside the Buddhist hall.
Fang said: "You are busy with your going, I will call someone to come." ”
"The daughter-in-law's matter is small, but if you are tired, then it will be a big matter. Let me wait for you to rest! I'm busy on weekdays, and when I come, I just sit and sit, so it's rare to serve you. Fang Wanru helped Fang Shi to the outer room where she was resting on weekdays, personally helped Fang Shi remove her hair, take off her coat, and helped her to lie down on the Luohan couch, covered Fang Shi with a cotton chest satin quilt embroidered with pine and crane pictures, and then lightly lit a good sandalwood, this is Fang's habit, which has been maintained for many years, as if she can't sleep without smelling the smell of sandalwood.
The house was surrounded by aromas, cigarettes curled up, Fang Wanru saw that Fang's seemed to be asleep, so she tidied up her clothes and quietly withdrew from the outer room, and when she left, she inevitably explained a few words to Mother Wan, and saw that she responded one by one, so she left Fang's courtyard with the two girls.
When Fang Wanru returned to her residence, the courtyard was already calm, and the subordinates performed their duties in a proper manner, without the noisy sound of hitting the board and the slender figure kneeling on the green brick.
Fang Wanru went into the house to rest and asked the little girl to call Li's mother.
"I heard that people are dizzy?"
"Yes." Li's mother answered decently, and she refused to say more. Madame is afraid that she is still angry at this time, with her understanding of Madame, it is not appropriate to talk more at this time, even if it is to reply, the more concise the better.
"Where are the people at this time?"
Mother Li stepped forward and whispered in Fang Wanru's ear: "Madam, the master has been here, and the person is now in the outer courtyard." ”
The corners of Fang Wanru's mouth twitched unconsciously, and she picked up the blue-glazed white lotus bowl in front of her and smashed it on the ground.
With a bang, the bowl shattered and fell apart.
A good carpet was splashed with tea, I'm afraid it will be difficult to wash.
A little girl heard the sound and came over, and when she saw Fang Wanru's puffed up, she was stunned, there was a slight wretchedness in the house, it seemed that Mrs. had lost her temper, and she was not happy in her heart.
Mother Li gave the little girl a look, and the latter understood that she would quietly retreat, but fortunately, Mrs. did not see her, so she escaped.
Mother Li leaned over to clean up the porcelain pieces broken into a few pieces on the ground, and said softly: "Madame, don't be angry, it's not worth it to be angry." ”
Fang Wanru's most trusted person is Mother Li, she was originally a person next to Mrs. Tai, but she was widowed at a young age, when Fang Wanru got married, she was only in her twenties, it was a good time, but she refused to take another step. Fang knew that she was clever and careful, steady and proper, and could see everything clearly, so he gave her to Fang Wanru and became her housekeeper's mother.
More than 20 years passed silently.
"Can I not be angry? Sneaking into my room, stirring up the ideas of the people around me! That begonia is also a lowly embryo, and he actually climbed into the master's bed on my back. Fang Wanru was so angry that every word she said seemed to be squeezed out of her teeth, and her gritted teeth clearly showed that she hated to eat the begonia alive at this time.
Mother Li threw the broken porcelain piece into the spittoon, carefully wiped her hands with a handkerchief, walked up to Fang Wanru and said, "Madame listen to my advice, don't be angry, you should go to the outer courtyard at this time, it is only right to find the master." ”
Fang Wanru was silent, she didn't know this.
Mother Li said again: "Listen to the slave maid!" "Yi Fang Xunru's character, even if it is a consolation that is beneficial to her, she can't say much, and it's best to stop at the point.
Fang Wanru nodded, "Mom will go with me." ”
Mother Li nodded yes, helped Fang Wanru change her clothes, cleaned up her makeup briefly, and the master and servant went to the outer courtyard.
