Zhao Xiu became interested: "Is it really weird?" Did Mrs. Feng find any flaws? ”

Mrs. Feng took out Fang Huizhu's letter, and ordered the accompanying maid to show Zhao Xiu the gifts given by Mrs. Meishan Bo in the name of Fang Huizhu, and then told her what had happened one by one

After listening to this, Zhao Xiu first went to look at those gifts, and found that they were some precious medicinal materials for replenishing the body, as well as a box of gold and jade jewelry, and several sets of high-end stationery supplies. In terms of content, this gift is decent and in line with the identity of the recipient, but if you look at things carefully, something is wrong.

The Fang family is a scholarly family, and the aesthetics of his children, in Zhao Xiu's view, are pretending to be forced. If there is silver, you will not ask for gold, and if you have jade, you will not want silver; I like to choose green and elegant colors for clothing materials, not big red flowers; Embroidery is also the priority to choose Meilan chrysanthemum bamboo, and the peony peony is too vulgar. Fang Huizhu and her person, no matter what her character is, is after all the daughter carefully cultivated by the famous Fang family, and her taste is in the same vein as her family.

[Not to mention the medicinal materials, the gold and jade jewelry in the box is obviously inlaid with good jade, and the texture is warm and flawless, but it has to be wrapped with a lot of gold, leaving only a little jade exposed.] The ladies of the Fang family also wear gold and jade jewelry on weekdays, but gold is just an embellishment, and the high-quality jade is the protagonist, and will never let gold and silver vulgar things take away the brilliance of jade, what they want is that kind of low-key and elegant wealth. This box jewelry, whether it is given to Mrs. Fang Da or Fang Renzhu, the large piece of yellow and clear gold on it is a failure. If it was really a gift from Fang Huizhu, she would never pick such jewelry.

∏ some stationery supplies are also problematic. It seems that they are all good brushes, inks, paper and inkstones, but they make the same mistake as jewelry: they use too many gold paintings to embellish them, and they clearly tell people that they are all valuable. Maybe some families will think that such an object can set off their wealth, but the Fang family will not like it. They'll be cheesy. What's more important is that those pen, ink, paper, inkstone, pen, pen and mountain inkstone drops, etc., are all good things when taken out individually, but they are not worthy of a set. Among them, the paper is still the paper that the elderly ladies of the big families in the capital love to use to copy the scriptures, and it is not the usual variety used by readers to write poems and essays on weekdays. How could Fang Huizhu make such a low-level mistake? Unless it's not her who is preparing the present!

Zhao Xiu came to the conclusion from this: "The gift must be the handwriting of Mrs. Meishanbo." ”

Mrs. Feng chuckled: "I went to the door, just asking for a letter from Sister Hui." If she has a gift, she honors her parents. I'll pass it over for her, and if she doesn't, I won't blame her. Mrs. Meishanbo's move. In fact, it is a snake that adds to it. If it was just to give Sister Hui a thorough number of courtesies, I wouldn't say anything, but she would have done so much and said something that shouldn't have been said. She took out Fang Huizhu's letter and showed it to Zhao Xiu: "This is the letter written by Sister Hui'er." The letter was never sealed. Mrs. Meishan seemed afraid that I wouldn't believe that it was written by Sister Hui'er, so she asked me to open it and read it. Isn't it strange, you say? ”

Of course, it is strange that the letter was written by Fang Huizhu to her parents, and Mrs. Feng will not know who the handwriting of the letter belongs to if she does not open it. Mrs. Meishan Bo also took the initiative to ask her to go to see it. As if she was afraid that she would misunderstand that the letter was not written by Fang Huizhu, it was simply three hundred taels of silver here.

Zhao Xiu looked at the letter, a little hesitant. Although she was already suspicious in her heart. I think there may be something wrong with this letter, and I believe that it was not written to her. It didn't seem good to open the letter without the permission of the writer and the recipient, so she didn't take it.

Mrs. Feng said: "Mrs. Meishan dared to ask me to read the letter, obviously there was nothing wrong with the letter, maybe she watched Sister Hui write the letter with her own eyes." But if Sister Hui really suffered in the Qiu family, she would never let go of this opportunity to report to her family. She must have used some secret method to hide important information in the letter. I hesitated, I didn't know whether I should open the letter to see what Mrs. Meishan Bo said. If I didn't read it, I was afraid that Sister Hui would ask me for help in the letter, but I delayed the opportunity. ”…

Zhao Xiu thought for a while: "When you went to Meishan Bofu, you clearly said that you would ask me to carry a letter to Jining." Mrs. Meishan doesn't understand the rules, but Sister Fang doesn't understand, I don't think she will hide any urgent information in the letter. I'll leave in a few days, let's not open the letter, and when I get to Jining, I'll do my best to deliver the letter to Mrs. Fangda. At that time, what Sister Fang said in the letter will be known. ”

Mrs. Feng groaned slightly, and then agreed: "That's fine." After a pause, he said, "I can actually roughly guess what Sister Hui will say in the letter." ”

Zhao Xiu was a little curious: "What will she say?" ”

Mrs. Feng replied: "I heard that she is now pregnant, but the fetus is unstable, so she can only recuperate in the room, and dare not go out or meet outsiders. Considering that the time for her to pass through the door is still short, if she is really pregnant, it is indeed the most unstable time. But today I tested the tone of the second girl of the Qiu family, and asked about Sister Hui'er's daily situation, she could answer, but no matter how I listened, I felt that it seemed to be a symptom that only a woman who was five or six months pregnant. asked her about her daily diet and daily life, and the people waiting around her were not the confidants who accompanied her in the past. When I asked Sister Hui'er about Sister Hui's dowry girl and companion room, Miss Qiu Er was vague and prevaricated with words. I deliberately mispronounced someone's name, and she didn't notice it. The strangest thing is that Sister Hui couldn't come to see me, so she sent a girl to calm my heart, and the person sent was Yanluo! ”

Zhao Xiu was puzzled: "Is there anything wrong with this girl?" She only knew Fang Huizhu's two big girls before, one was called Yunqu and the other was Yuege. After the Yue Banxuan incident, these two girls were chased when they heard about it, and she was not familiar with the people who were promoted later. I only remember that Fang Renzhu mentioned that Fang Huizhu didn't trust the two girls who came after.

Mrs. Feng's words proved that her memory was not wrong: "Yanluo was originally a waiter in my sister-in-law's room, and she was never happy with Sister Hui'er. However, Feng Ge, who married with her in the past, was reused by Sister Hui and became Sister Hui'er's confidant. I asked Yanluo, and when I learned that Fengge was still there, Sister Hui wanted to send her henchmen to tell me something, so how could she choose Yanluo? ”

Zhao Xiu synthesized the various doubts raised by Mrs. Feng and faintly had a conjecture. One of the most obvious points is that Fang Huizhu was restricted by the Qiu family's personal freedom. The Qiu family didn't even allow her relatives to see her, only saying that she was raising a fetus, but looking at the signs, she didn't look like she had just become pregnant......

Zhao Xiu felt that Fang Huizhu was probably not really pregnant. She also thought that maybe Fang Huizhu was pregnant before marriage, so she had pregnancy symptoms for five or six months when she was two or three months pregnant. But Fang Huizhu only had one chance to meet Qiu Huiyou privately before marriage, or in a public place like a teahouse. Even in a private room. It can also be broken at any time. Zhao Xiu believes that with the Fang family's tutor, Fang Huizhu will not be stupid enough to do anything with her fiancé on that occasion. But if she hadn't been pregnant. Why did the Qiu family say that she was pregnant? As soon as the rumors came out, she disappeared from social situations, and the Qiu family desperately prevented others from seeing her. Could it be that the Qiu family doesn't want people to know that she is not actually pregnant? Then why did she let out the rumors that she was pregnant? Whether or not your daughter-in-law is pregnant with a child is actually a very good thing to distinguish between truth and falsehood. Just see if a child is born in ten months, and that's it. If there are no children. The Qiu family was slapped in the face; But if there are children......

Zhao Xiu suddenly sat up straight and looked at Mrs. Feng. Mrs. Feng's face was already gloomy, and she said without a beginning or end: "Qiu Huiyou coaxed Sister Hui to say that he was about to go to the Northeast to take up a military position. Therefore, it is necessary to marry early. However, he is now idle at home, but in the name of a forbidden army. In fact, I haven't been on a business trip at all. Even if his brother really has his hands and eyes, that kind of real power and military position will not fall on his head. ”…

Zhao Xiu blinked. It didn't take long to understand what she meant. Since Qiu Huiyou's explanation about the early marriage date is a lie, why did he do it? Is he really in a hurry to marry a wife, to the point where he can't wait another three months?

In this regard, Mrs. Feng just sneered: "In this world, there are only two things that cannot really wait, one is life and the other is death. I haven't heard of anyone in the Qiu family who has died recently, or is about to die, so all that remains is 'life'. ”

Production can't wait. If someone is pregnant, she will definitely give birth to a child in ten months, as long as she does not have an accident. The date of production may be brought forward, but it can rarely be postponed, and there is no room for delay. Could it be that Qiu Huiyou had already had a head and tail with someone else, and the other party was pregnant, so the Qiu family wanted this child to be "born" from Fang Huizhu's belly? If this is the case, where did the Qiu family put the Fang family? The Fang family has never been defeated, once they know about it, they will not obey. It is impossible for Fang Huizhu to swallow her anger, unless she is dead, sooner or later she will tell her parents about it. When the matter is exposed, the Fangqiu family may not even be able to do it. This kind of thing that will be exposed sooner or later, why did the Qiu family do it? Isn't their marriage with the Fang family not for marriage, but for revenge?

Zhao Xiu frowned, and said to Mrs. Feng hesitantly: "I will definitely deliver the letter to Lord Fang and his wife, but it will take some time after all." If it is convenient for Mrs. Feng, can you please visit Sister Fang more? The Qiu family is not in the right way, and I don't know what to do. I think...... As long as they knew that Senior Sister Fang was not alone in the capital, they might be better for her. "Even if there is a conspiracy, it will be a little more restrained.

Mrs. Feng understood Zhao Xiu's concerns in her heart. The Qiu family dared to do this, they must be sure that the matter would not be leaked, and Fang Huizhu's situation would be very dangerous. If she finds Meishan Bofu from time to time, even if she can't see Fang Huizhu, at least she can make the Qiu family cast a rat trap and dare not act rashly. Therefore, Mrs. Feng solemnly promised: "I will go, and I will call the other sisters." The daughter of the Fang family must not be bullied! Someone dares to ignore us, and we must teach him a lesson! ”

Zhao Xiu exchanged a look with her, and a tacit understanding had been reached.

Since then, Mrs. Feng has been running to Meishan Bo's Mansion every other day to "visit the sick", and among the other married Fang family daughters, there are also three or four people who are either in pairs or alone, and from time to time find a reason to chat with Mrs. Meishan Bo or her eldest daughter-in-law. Meishan Bofu is actually a day of guests, not a day of peace. Mrs. Meishan Bo knew what was going on, but she already had the heart to entrap her second daughter-in-law, so she was bent on stabilizing the latter and making her cooperate with her actions, and she was not very worried. But Old Lady Qiu and Second Young Master Naqiu's newly promoted concubine were much more annoyed. Because of the storage of these uninvited guests, the latter had to restrain themselves a little, and did not dare to mix with Qiu Huiyou all day long.

By this time, the time had come to the end of September. September 30 is the day when the king of Guangping, the marquis of Jiannan, and Zeng Shilang of the Ministry of Industry are scheduled to go south. (To be continued) R655
