Chapter 450: Gratitude
The Fang sisters were also close when they were young. Fang Huizhu is the eldest daughter who has been excellent since she was a child, and Fang Renzhu is also a talented girl with the name of early wisdom. One of them is to learn to write Tibetan poems or secret letters, such as writing down the word you really want to write every fixed number of words in the letter, and so on. However, since Fang Huizhu's parents decided to cultivate her and let her marry King Guangping, who was still the prince of the East Palace at the time, the sisters have never played this kind of game again.
But Fang Renzhu has had an excellent mind and a good memory since he was a child, and he still remembers the games he played when he was a child very clearly. She opened the letter and only glanced at it a few times, and she saw the mystery - Fang Huizhu wrote down a word that really wanted to be written every five words. This is Fang Huizhu's favorite way to write secret letters, and Fang Renzhu is very familiar with them, so she quickly discovered the meaning of the letter.
Fang Huizhu made it very clear in the letter that after her mother's family left Beijing, her husband's family put her under house arrest and announced that she was pregnant, but she was not pregnant and could not see anyone, in fact, it was Mrs. Qiu's maiden niece Cai's who was really pregnant. The latter was pregnant before marriage, and it was in order to accommodate her that the Qiu family insisted on early marriage. Now she has secretly married Qiu Huiyou as a concubine, and when she gives birth to a child, she will be recorded in the name of her wife Fang Huizhu, so that Fang Huizhu died due to "dystocia", and Cai's just filled the position to fill the house.
Fang Huizhu said that now she is isolated, her husband spoils his concubine and kills his wife, her sister-in-law uses her more, and her mother-in-law, Mrs. Qiu, regards her as an obstacle for her grandnephew to marry into the Qiu family. She now finally understands what she had done stupidly, and asks her mother for forgiveness to save her birth.
After hearing this, Mrs. Fang was already in tears. The eldest daughter is no longer angry, she was also conceived in October, and because it is her first child. She had spent countless efforts on her eldest daughter. If she hadn't been saddened by what her eldest daughter had done, she would never have left her newlywed eldest daughter in Beijing in a fit of anger and took her other children to Jining to reunite with her husband. can know that the eldest daughter is in trouble now. She couldn't sit still anymore.
She said to Zhao Xiu with tears: "Thank you Miss Zhao for sending the message and letting me know the situation of the little girl." I'll go home and pack some luggage and rush back to Beijing as much as possible. In any case, you can't let those villains of the Qiu family succeed! ”
Zhao Xiu smiled and said, "Auntie, don't worry for the time being, calculate the time." There is still a long time before Ling's cousin gives birth, and Sister Fang will be fine now. Besides, before I left Beijing, I had already gone to find Mrs. Feng, and Mrs. Feng said that I would call a few sisters to go to Meishan Bofu from time to time to visit Sister Fang, and also let the Naqiu family know that Sister Fang was not without the support of her mother's family. No matter how vicious the Qiu family is, they won't be stupid enough to really kill people, right? ”
Mrs. Fang Da heard this. Sure enough, his face softened a little, but he was still very grateful to Zhao Xiu: "Miss Zhao is right, with the protection of several aunts and wives in our family, Sister Hui must be fine for a while." It's just that as soon as I think of what the Qiu family did, my heart is furious! At the beginning, it was their Qiu family who came to ask for relatives, and I saw that Qiu Huiyou could also be called a talent, so I allowed his family. Where did you think that Sister Hui had only been married for a few days, and they had changed their faces? If it is just to find a wife who can be a cheap mother for the shameless niece and granddaughter of his old lady, there are official girls in Beijing who have no obvious family background. Why did his family take a fancy to my sister Hui? Even if our Fang family is down for a while, it's not just that their Qiu family can pinch and rub it round! ”
The old lady of the Fang family was originally a high-ranking official during the Taizu Dynasty. The family is quite powerful, and the family is also prosperous. It is said that at the time of the most prosperity, all provinces, provinces, and prefectures across the country had the in-laws of the Fang family as officials. Now that most of the aunts and wives of the older generation have passed away, the relationship between the children and grandchildren and the Fang family is another layer away. And the current head of the Fang family, Fang Chongshan. has been staying in Beijing for many years as a peace officer, except for the intention of sending women into the palace, there is no too outstanding place, and his ability is mediocre, but he does not lose it, but he only has some problems in terms of personal contacts. If only he had a good relationship with all of his in-laws. Perhaps the family business will not decay. But if he doesn't get close to people, how can people pay attention to him?
However, the Fang family's connections are here, if it really comes to the point of life and death, as long as it is not a heinous felony, the Fang family's in-laws will not watch the Fang family have an accident. Therefore, Mrs. Fang was very confident in the other family, and she couldn't believe that the Meishan Bofu Qiu family, who was also in a slump in the family, dared to lay such a trap on the other family? Do they really think that there is no one in the Fang family?
Fang Renzhu whispered to her mother: "The Qiu family came to propose marriage that day, and it was quite enthusiastic, and at that time, our whole family thought that they were very sincere, but we never expected this result. It's just that his family married his eldest sister into the door, and he wanted to harm her, could it be that he was going to harm people from the beginning? The big sister didn't offend his family, right? Moreover, although his family is a member of the Bofu, he has no real power in the family, and the title cannot be passed down any further. Qiu Huiyou is the second son, and he is not an important person, since he wants to marry a wife and likes his cousin, why not marry his cousin directly? I want to find an irrelevant person to occupy the position of the yuan match, and then harm the lives of others, so that my cousin can fill the house. ”
Mrs. Fang sneered: "I have also heard of the daughter of the Cai family, she is a concubine, and it seems that she was born to Master Cai's room." It is said that among her sisters, she is the most iconic one. Mrs. Qiu didn't know if she intended to kiss and kiss, and often took this niece and granddaughter into the house. It's a pity that the Cai family was originally a small family, if it weren't for the son-in-law who sealed the marquis, supported this huge family business, and his family also made a fortune, how could his family be delusional to climb the high branches? Mrs. Qiu didn't know whether she planned to bring her mother's family with her, or whether she wanted to add a helper to compete with her daughter-in-law, so she knew that the Cai family was not in the stream, and she was bent on promoting her nephew and daughter. It's a pity that she has selfish intentions, but her son and daughter-in-law are not stupid people. The Cai family doesn't even have a serious job, Qiu Huiyou is the second son, sooner or later he will have to split up, if he doesn't have a good Yue family to help, how will he live in the future? Naturally, he refused to allow marriage. I didn't expect them to tell their son about Sister Hui in the end, and they wanted to use Sister Hui'er's name to add a powerful Yue family to Qiu Huiyou, and at the same time not delay the matter between him and his concubine, it was really a good wishful thinking! ”
The more Mrs. Fang thought about it, the more angry she became, and scolded: "That shameless thing! How could our Fang family ever provoke him? Wholeheartedly promising his beloved daughter, just looking forward to the harmony of their husband and wife, Qiu Huiyou will actually do something to deceive his relatives! When I return to Beijing, I will expose his face, so that everyone in the world will know what kind of goods the Qiu family is in private! ”
Zhao Xiu also knew that Mrs. Fang was very angry, but she felt that the other party had misunderstood Fang Renzhu's meaning. looked at Fang Renzhu and closed his mouth. It seemed that she had no intention of explaining, so she reluctantly opened her mouth for the former: "Auntie, the fifth girl is probably suspicious, and there is no need for the Qiu family to choose the Fang family if they want to deceive their relatives." And for the sake of the flesh and blood in the womb of a concubine next to the second son, such a big game was set up, just to add a yuan to the concubine's child with a biological mother? Could there be something else hidden here? ”
Mrs. Fang Da was thoughtful.
At this time, the Zhang family, who had not interjected, suddenly spoke: "The Qiu family has a daughter of the right age, right?" I remember that she was very good-looking, and she could see it when she went out as a guest. It took a lot of thought for her family to raise her. The Qiu family's background is too poor, and the old lady of his family is not very knowledgeable, but she prefers to be the master of the house, so the Qiu family used to make some jokes, until now Mrs. Meishan has passed the door and taken over the housework, so there are some rules, but it is still bad. The demeanor of the girl of the Qiu family can be seen that she is a little deliberate, and she may teach such a girl. The Qiu family's picture is not small. I heard that the girl of the Qiu family is a guest in the queen's palace, could it be that she has taken a fancy to Ling Yan's benefits? ”
Mrs. Fang was taken aback by what she said, and looked down to think about it, it was really possible that this was the case. At the beginning, their Fang family wanted to send Fang Huizhu into the palace, how much thought did it take, and the people who came to teach her were first-class gentlemen, teaching etiquette, teaching conversation, teaching poetry and songs, and teaching people to be sophisticated...... All of this didn't work. For the Fang family, it is naturally in vain, but in the eyes of those who care, Fang Huizhu is probably a ready-made teacher, right?
Mrs. Fang felt that she could not drag it any longer. In two or three days at most, she will set off to rush back to the capital and take her daughter back to her parents' house. She also had to discuss with her husband whether to find a way to make the Qiu family's plan public, and then ask the government to sentence Fang Huizhu and Qiu Huiyou to reconcile and separate. This will also hurt Huizhu less in the future.
It's just the husband's side. She couldn't rest assured. After looking at her daughter, she finally made up her mind: "Sister Ren will stay here for the time being and take charge of the housework." All the affairs in the lunar New Year will be handed over to you. You've been learning from me for a few months, and you have some experience when you think about it, and it's time for the experience. Don't panic, this year is the first time your father has spent the New Year in Jining, and he is not familiar with the world, and there are some slight differences. Except for him, there is no one else in Jining, even if he is on a business trip, others will take care of him. Sister Ren just relax and do it boldly, I will leave someone to help you. ”
Fang Renzhu hurriedly got up and took over the task: "Yes, my daughter will definitely do her best and never let her mother down." ”
Mrs. Fang nodded, turned her face to the Zhang family and said gratefully: "This time it's really thanks to Ling's granddaughter, otherwise I wouldn't have known that my daughter was almost killed." This kindness will be remembered by our husband and wife. If there is any dispatch from the house in the future, you and a pair of grandchildren can just speak. As long as the Fang family can do it, we will do it. ”
With the connections of the Fang family, it is really not easy for Mrs. Fang to say this. Zhang smiled: "You are so polite, our sister Xiu'er is just helping to carry the letter, and it is just a matter of convenience, where has it come to this point?" ”
Mrs. Fang smiled: "Don't be polite to me, I always remember this kindness in my heart." ”
With Fang Huizhu's matter, Mrs. Fang was in a hurry to go back to discuss with her husband, and it didn't take long for her to get up and leave. Zhao Xiu sent people out of the door, and Fang Renzhu took her hand: "I haven't talked about it in detail today, I'll come to see you another day." ”
Zhao Xiu sent off the guests and was about to go back to the main house, but on the way, he met his accompanying mother-in-law, named Tu Sanyang's family. The other party said to her in a hurry: "Girl, there is one thing...... I don't know if I should say it. ”
Zhao Xiu raised his eyebrows: "If you have something to say, what's the matter?" ”
Tu Sanyang's family took a deep breath: "When the little one came to the post station with the car, it seemed that he had seen Sister Xiang in the small long room in the past. She just stared at the old lady and the girl's carriage on the side of the street. ”
Zhao Xiu frowned, why is it her again? (To be continued.) )
