The disciple of the Fang family didn't say anything. The mouth of eating people is short, the hands of taking people are short, his family background is mediocre, he has the benefits of Qiu Huiyou, and he has a good jade pendant and a purse full of gold bills from Fang Huizhu, so he naturally won't talk much. But just because he doesn't speak doesn't mean it's really a secret. Because Qiu Huiyou met Fang Huizhu privately, he didn't date her for tea, but asked her for something. The thing I want is also simple, that is, I hope she can contribute to the successful completion of the marriage. Of course, it is impossible for the Qiu family to make concessions, so they can only let the Fang family make concessions.

As for why the Qiu family refused to back the marriage date, Qiu Huiyou also had an explanation. He said that his brother had recommended him to a very important post, and that if all went well, he would be sent to the border city of Liaodong by mid-August at the latest. There was no fighting there, it was safe, and he only needed to lead his soldiers to patrol the border every day and help with some paperwork. After three years, he will have qualifications, and he will be at least a fourth-grade military attache at that time, which is much better than staying in the capital and suffering. It's just that this fat difference has not yet announced the candidates, and even picks people in the forbidden army. If it was rumored that the Qiu family had cut off Hu at this time, then they would have offended more people, and they had no choice but to keep it secret and not tell the Fang family the truth. If the marriage is postponed for a few months, he will have to choose between the marriage and the future, and it is better to get married early.

Fang Huizhu believed Qiu Huiyou's words, and was even more moved by the future described in his words. Although a month after marriage, Qiu Huiyou was going to go to the border city, but when he returned three years later, he was a fourth-rank military attaché, and she also had a four-rank commandment, how much honor is this? What's more, Qiu Huiyou is gentle and has a deep affection for her in her words, how can she give up such a husband?

Back home. She deliberately told her cousins, aunts, and cousins of the same clan about Fang Yishan's expulsion, vaguely, half-concealed, and deliberately biased, only saying that Fang Sanye proposed to leave Fang Yishan from the clan. Mrs. Fang objected out of morality, but when the uncle and sister-in-law went to the government to take care of Fang Yishan's wife and children, they heard a lot of bad news, and some high-ranking officials said that there was such a big stain on Fang Yishan, and the Fang family should not think about a good future in the future. She even spread rumors. said that among the daughters of the Fang family, there were already people who were disliked by their future in-laws because of Fang Yishan's affairs, and the other party revealed that they were going to withdraw from the marriage. As for who it was, she said that she thought about it for the sake of this sister's reputation. Can't tell people.

Within a few days, the news spread.

The clansmen talked a lot, they didn't think that the decision of the grandson was for selfishness, but most people thought that if their family encountered a disaster one day and the family was ruined, then there was a loving and righteous family head who could pull his family smaller, then they would die. I was able to feel at ease, too. The prestige of the clan has risen instead of falling, which is an unexpected result. But on the other hand, the clansmen listened to Fang Huizhu's hints. Knowing that the family's reputation has now been affected by Fang Yishan, it may even affect the children and relatives of other houses, and he is unhappy again. No matter what Fang Yishan did before, he did a big rebellious thing without telling all the clansmen, and if he died, he would affect the family, so everyone was unwilling to forgive him. Out of morality. You can take care of his wife and children, but if you can expel him from the clan. It is naturally better to no longer be affected by him from now on.

That's it. Without the initiative of the Fang family's descendants, the Fang family actually gathered and voted to pass the decision to expel Fang Yishan from the clan, and then the two elders with the highest rank in the clan came forward to convey the opinions of the clansmen to Mrs. Fang. At this time, even if Mrs. Fang objected, the matter of leaving the clan was a foregone conclusion.

Mrs. Fang had just taken care of the official mansion and ransomed Mrs. Fang's mother and son, when she got such news, the whole person was not good. While sending her family to send Mrs. Fang Si and others, who were almost emotionally broken, to Zhuangzi outside the city for placement, she went to inquire about what was going on. After this inquiry, Fang Huizhu was inquired.

Mrs. Fang knew what was going on as soon as she thought about it, and she was immediately furious, angry at her daughter, and made it clear that even if Fang Yishan was expelled from the clan, Fang Huizhu would no longer have to take hemp, and she would not agree to marry her daughter to the Qiu family. In order to show her determination, she immediately asked Fang Sanye to write a letter of withdrawal and send it to Meishan Bofu.

Fang Huizhu was like being struck by lightning when she heard this, but no matter how she explained her actions, she was still grounded by her mother. She wept and screamed in her room every day, protesting against her mother's ruthlessness. Mrs. Fang was resolute and refused to change her mind, and her face was gloomy for several days. Fang Renzhu is in such an environment every day, and her mood is naturally very bad.

Zhao Xiu sighed when she heard this, she suddenly remembered something, and hurriedly asked: "Your mother divorced, what is the reaction of Meishan Bofu?" ”

Fang Renzhu's eyes turned red again, and he hesitated for a while before he spoke, and it seemed that he was very difficult to speak: "They didn't agree, and the old lady of his family also sent someone to bring a message, saying...... said that my sister had privately asked his second son to meet, and ...... He also gave his jade pendant and gold hairpin to his second son as a love token, saying that his infatuation would not change, and he would ...... Feijun will not marry, let him wait for her good news. The old lady of the Qiu family threatened with this, saying that if my mother divorced the marriage, then she would publicize this matter so that my sister would not be able to see anyone in the future! ”

Zhao Xiu was shocked when he heard this: "Is this biting your sister back?" "Obviously, Qiu Huiyou asked Fang Huizhu to go out, why did he become the person Fang Huizhu took the initiative to date? And what's going on with those love words?

Fang Renzhu's eyes were full of resentment and shame, and he nodded: "When my mother heard this, she fainted on the spot, but the people of the Qiu family didn't take it seriously, and left after speaking." When my mother woke up and called my sister to ask her about the matter, I found out the truth. But it was too late...... My sister's golden hairpin was taken away by him when I met, and the jade pendant was obviously given to my cousin, but it was bought by Qiu Huiyou for money, and in turn threatened my family to promise to do things. If Mrs. Qiu really spread the word, with the jade pendant and the golden hairpin as evidence, many people would recognize that it was my sister's private property, and my sister's reputation would definitely be ruined...... They will be sent directly to the nunnery by the clansmen! ”

Not to mention Fang Huizhu, even Fang Renzhu will be affected. Sibling sisters, my sister's character is dirty, how can my sister not be questioned? Fang Renzhu is already engaged to Shang Qiong. The Shang family is a famous scholarly family. Shang Taifu is even more respected. Such a family must have high requirements for the conduct of the future daughter-in-law. If Fang Renzhu's reputation is affected, she is afraid that her marriage with Shang Qiong will also change.

Zhao Xiu understood as soon as he thought about it, and he became angry in his heart: "I already knew that the Qiu family was unreliable!" Aren't they overtly bullying? What is Lingtang going to do? And your sister. At this point, shouldn't she still think that Meishan Bofu is a good place to go? ”

When Fang Renzhu heard this, another burst of sadness came from it. I don't know how Qiu Huiyou coaxed Fang Huizhu, Fang Huizhu actually thought that the Qiu family's approach was just an extraordinary means to promote marriage and prevent her mother from doing wrong things in a foolish way. She also persuaded her mother in turn, begging Mrs. Fang to agree to the marriage, so that the Qiu family would not publicize the matter. The Fang family has the in-laws of Meishan Bofu, and their faces are also bright. Anyway, now she doesn't have to mourn anymore, and she gets married on the ninth day of the seventh month, so there is no problem.

Mrs. Fang was so angry that she fell ill because of this, and Fang Jinqi and Fang Renzhu, the two brothers and sisters, stayed by her side and persuaded her with good words. persuaded her to cheer up a little. She was really dead set on her eldest daughter, so she only ordered someone to prepare all the wedding supplies that were prepared, and make up for the lack of things with some ordinary goods, and wait until the day before the wedding to carry her to the Qiu family, and then wait for the ninth day of the seventh month to marry this daughter, and she will no longer worry about it. She also planned to follow the original plan, and after the Midyear Festival, she would take her son and youngest daughter with her. Then called the little brother-in-law, and the group took a boat south to Jining to meet her husband. As for the eldest daughter Fang Huizhu after marrying Meishan Bofu. How she will live depends on her own creation.

Until then, the grounding order continues. Mrs. Fang never wanted the wrong things done by her eldest daughter to spread throughout the clan, so she blocked the news and did not let Fang Huizhu contact the outside world. Now the clansmen still think that Mrs. Fang is angry with the eldest daughter for the sake of public discussion. There were also many people who came to persuade her to dissipate her anger. She was only faint, looking like I taught my daughter that you can't control. Those people are also embarrassed to persuade too much.

Zhao Xiu was embarrassed when he heard it, Meishan Bofu would rather threaten with such a means. Let the relationship between the in-laws fall to the bottom, and I want to marry Fang Huizhu into the door as a daughter-in-law, I don't know what the plan is. For the sake of their children's reputation, the Fang family had to make concessions and let the wedding of the Fang Qiu family continue as scheduled. I don't know if this result is good or bad. However, Zhao Xiu has always felt that if he doesn't do it, he won't die. Since Fang Huizhu is bent on going her own way, then let her be satisfied, whether she will enjoy happiness or hit a wall in the future is her own choice.

Zhao Xiu also persuaded Fang Renzhu: "Things are already like this, and in a few days it will be the day when your sister will leave the cabinet." When she gets married, you don't have to worry about her anymore. What happens in the future depends on her own ability. You're a younger sister, you can't worry about her for the rest of your life, right? ”

Fang Renzhu said with tears in her eyes: "Having said that, the Qiu family is so domineering and rude, what good life can my sister have when she marries?" No matter how much she suspects me, she is my own sister after all, how can I bear to watch her suffer? ”

Zhao Xiu sighed: "It's okay in the future, at least for now, she chose to marry Qiu Huiyou." Ling Tang and you think it's for her good, don't let her marry, but she will resent you. Anyway, as long as your Fang family is promising, as long as your father and brother are angry, the Qiu family will not dare to bully her too much. I think her situation is still safe, food and clothing are not a problem, at most the rules are stricter, mother-in-law, mother-in-law is meaner, her husband is far away, she stays at home alone and works hard, but she is happier than many women. After a few years, the husband and wife will be reunited, and she will still be able to be Mrs. Decree. She must be very proud of this, right? As long as she is smart enough to gain a firm foothold in her in-law's family as soon as possible, how can she suffer in the future? What you think is a hardship is probably not worth mentioning to her, right? ”

Fang Renzhu silently collected her tears: "You're right. When she persuaded her mother to agree, she always mentioned the matter of the decree again and again. My sister has a very high heart, and she values glory more than everything. She is not the same as me, and naturally her thoughts are different. She sighed, "That's it, it's come to this, what's the use of worrying about it?" My sister's marriage is a foregone conclusion, and she firmly believes that after she passes the door, she will be liked by her in-laws. Why should I pour cold water on her again and again? ”

She said to Zhao Xiu gratefully, "Sister Zhao, thank you for your explanation. These days, I keep things in my heart, and I want to talk to someone, but I don't know who to go to. Telling my mother and brother will only make them more upset; told my sister that she categorically wouldn't listen; And the third uncle ...... He has been scolding his sister every day for the past few days, and I don't know how many times he has scolded. Seeing my sister today, I can rest assured to say what is in my heart. I feel much better now. ”

Zhao Xiu smiled and held her hand: "Okay, don't worry, I won't tell anyone." Now let's forget about the unpleasant things. Didn't you say you wanted to visit our library? I've made all the arrangements, and I'll leave after lunch, how about it? (To be continued)
