Chapter 347: Marriage Contract

Zhao Xiu is very disdainful of Huizhu's style.

In the past, when she first met Fang Huizhu and didn't have any in-depth contact with the other party, she only heard that the eldest daughter of the Fang family was a dignified and demure lady, how outstanding her character was, how good her talent was, and she was generous and kind in life and work, so that people couldn't make mistakes. After a lot of contact, she found out that the other party's beautiful appearance was actually pretending, and she was neither smart nor generous inside, and she could harm others for a little selfishness. After the incident with Yue Banxuan, Zhao Xiu has been estranged from the other party Huizhu, and if he can not deal with it, he will not deal with it, lest he will be calculated by the other party again if he doesn't know when. But she never expected that this girl couldn't even tolerate her own sister. Although Zhao Xiu felt that there was nothing wrong with Shang Qiong, Fang Renzhu and him were too far apart from each other, and there was nothing wrong with him. But Fang Huizhu's compatriot eldest sister Fang Renzhu, if she thinks that her sister is too wronged to marry Shang Qiong, shouldn't she feel sorry for her? Why make a mockery? It's not that it's mocking in your own home, but at your relative's house, and it's a joke.

No matter what Fang Huizhu's personality is, this kind of behavior can only show that there is something wrong with her brain.

Feng Xiuqin's mother and daughter obviously thought the same way. Although Feng Xiuqin was spitting and looking embarrassed, it could be seen that she was very dissatisfied with Fang Huizhu's behavior, and there was a sense of shock that her three views had been refreshed. She probably didn't expect that Fang Huizhu, who has always been a gentle big sister among the sisters, is actually this kind of person, right? If it was Fang Er or Fang Four, no one would find it strange if they said anything about Fang Renzhu. But now they are saying such things. But it's Miss Fang!

Feng Xiuqin reminded Fang Renzhu again: "Fifth sister, you must tell your aunt, just say it in private." Don't let the big sister know that I said it...... I would never tell anyone what I said in private. But this time it's really ......."

Fang Renzhu also understands that Feng Xiuqin does have a good reputation among her sisters, and if she clearly tells her "don't tell sΓΉ people", then she will never reveal her secret, not even her mother. But if this requirement is not clearly stated in advance, it is difficult to say. Feng Xiuqin is not a girl who loves to chew her tongue. But that doesn't mean she doesn't have her own moral standards. She felt that Fang Huizhu's behavior had touched her bottom line, and she didn't know what to do, so she asked her mother for advice. Mrs. Feng is the daughter of the Fang family again. Afraid of hurting Fang Huizhu's face, it was not easy to accuse it openly, so he asked his daughter to inform Mrs. Fang and Fang Renzhu of the matter. In the end, this is a small internal contradiction in the Fang family's long house, if they can solve it privately. That's great. Otherwise, Fang Huizhu said smoothly. If she talks like this in front of others in the future, others may not keep it a secret for her. She hasn't decided to marry yet, her reputation is bad, how will she marry in the future?

Fang Renzhu nodded to Feng Xiuqin: "Sister, don't worry, I'll take care of it." When I came home a little later, I told my mother in the carriage not to be heard. ”

Feng Xiuqin breathed a sigh of relief and said with a smile: "That's good." The big sister suddenly said that kind of thing. I panicked and didn't know how to respond. The big sister laughed at me instead. She paused. Hesitantly asked, "That...... Fifth sister, what the eldest sister said......" She secretly glanced at Zhao Xiu, and then looked back at Fang Renzhu, "Is what she said true?" ”

Fang Huizhu laughed at her sister because Fang Shaoqing and his wife promised their youngest daughter to Shang Qiong, the man who was almost engaged to Fang Huizhu, she has never looked down on the disfigurer. Feng Xiuqin is not only the granddaughter of the Fang family, but naturally she is also related to the Shang family, and she knows what Shang Qiong's situation is. If this incident is true, then she can't help but feel sorry for Fang Renzhu. In particular, she knew that Fang Renzhu was originally the person who was very likely to sit on the throne of the emperor's eldest concubine.

Fang Renzhu only smiled back at her: "Marriage is naturally the order of parents." My father and mother didn't say anything to me, so I don't know. ”

Feng Xiuqin asked with some concern: "What if it's true?" As...... Shall I beg my aunt and uncle? She always loves you. ”

Fang Renzhu smiled and said, "This kind of thing, how can we girls have room to speak?" Sister Feng, thank you for your reminder today, thank you to my aunt for me, thank you for letting you tell me about my eldest sister. ”

Feng Xiuqin wanted to speak and stopped, but finally left. She is still very worried about Fang Renzhu's marriage. But if Fang Renzhu can accept it herself, what can she say as an outsider?

After Feng Xiuqin left, Zhao Xiu, who had been silent, couldn't help but speak: "Is what your eldest sister said true?" Did your parents really promise you to Shang Qiong? Don't prevaricate me with that remark, just tell me the truth. ”

Fang Renzhu was stunned, looked at her and smiled slightly: "So what?" Isn't it? ”

Zhao Xiu thought for a while: "It doesn't matter if it's actually true, I think Shang Qiong is still a good person." It's just that the age difference between the two of you is too big, and I don't know if there will be a generation gap in the future. ”

Fang Renzhu didn't know what the generation gap was, but he probably understood what Zhao Xiu meant. Zhao Xiu did not discriminate against Shang Qiong, who had a damaged appearance, and she didn't feel how sorry she was for being allowed to such a person, which made her feel very useful.

Fang Renzhu shook Zhao Xiu's hand, blushed slightly and said, "I won't hide it from you, this is true." My parents had this idea long after returning from your house earlier. At the beginning, I just wanted to choose a family business for me before my father really had an accident, so that I could rely on it for life. But when discussing with the Shang family, my father felt that this was really a good family. Although the cousin of the Shang family cannot take the imperial examination, he has excellent character and is good at learning. On the contrary, I am a willow posture, and I am young and not worthy of him. ”

Zhao Xiu didn't know about these twists and turns between the Shang family and the Fang family, but since Shang Qiong was a good person, and Fang Renzhu could accept him as his husband, then this marriage was worth celebrating. She laughed and said, "You don't have to be too self-indulgent. I think Shang Qiong can marry you, which is his blessing. The temperament of the two of you is just right, he is well educated, you are also a poet, in the future, the husband and wife will play with poetry every day, then it is beautiful! ”

Fang Renzhu blushed with shame, and couldn't help but stretch out his hand and hit Zhao Xiu: "People treat you as a serious person, so they tell you about this matter that has not yet been finalized." You only know how to make fun of people! If this is the case, I will not say it! ”

Zhao Xiu smiled and begged for mercy: "Okay, okay, I won't laugh at you." He held her hand and whispered, "You said that this matter has not been finalized?" What does that mean? ”

Fang Renzhu struggled, and didn't break away from his hand, so he could only glance at Zhao Xiu, lowered his head and said: "Uncle Shang said to my father that now that my father is in danger, he will have the idea of orphanage. When my father's crisis has passed, I may have a different idea. Therefore, Uncle Shang just accepted my Geng post and said that he would return it when my father was fine. My father listened to Uncle Shang's words and sighed that he was a righteous gentleman, and this marriage couldn't be better for me. It's just that saying such things right now may not be able to win the trust of the Shang family. When the turmoil subsides, the Shang family will understand their father's determination. ”

Zhao Xiu thought for a while: "Then you think so too?" Even if your father is okay, or if he is promoted in the future, he will still not change his original intention. ”

Fang Renzhu's face turned red again, lowered his head, and said quietly but firmly: "Marriage is a big event, not child's play. Since it is decided, it is naturally decided, how can there be any reason to change the order overnight? ”

Zhao Xiu secretly snickered, Fang Renzhu raised her hand when she saw this and was about to hit again, she hurriedly begged for mercy: "I was wrong, don't dare anymore, don't fight!" ”

The two girls were laughing here, but they didn't notice it, not far behind them, I don't know when a beautiful woman in her thirties turned out from behind the rockery, but instead of entering the listening hall, she went around the listening hall and wanted to turn to the winding water, just to hear their words clearly.

The beautiful woman quietly turned away without alarming anyone at all, and returned to the listening hall as if nothing had happened, greeted the other ladies, and continued to talk and laugh.

A lady who knew her well asked in a whisper: "Sister Ling Shang heard that she was worried about her son's marriage to a daughter-in-law recently, and she was so worried that she couldn't eat. I've seen both of them for her before, but she doesn't like either. Recently, due to my youngest son's illness, I stayed at home, and I haven't seen her for two months, and I don't know who she has her eye on? If not, there are so many girls here today, all of them are talented and beautiful, which one do you see, I will inquire about your sister? ”

The beautiful woman smiled and said, "My sister does have a fancy for one, but she hasn't decided yet, and it should be seven or eight points accurate." When the time is decided, my sister will definitely sue Mrs. SΓΉ, so as to live up to Mrs. SΓΉ's enthusiasm all along. ”

The other party smiled when he heard this: "It's good to be able to say it." In fact, Ling's nephew is really a kind child, but it's a pity that his appearance is ...... But why should a man care about that? If you can't take the imperial examination, it doesn't mean that you can't be an official. I think he will have a great future in the future, and he must find him a beautiful lady who is both talented and good-looking to be his daughter-in-law. ”

The beautiful woman smiled and said nothing, and when someone heard the conversation, she turned her face and asked, "What are you talking about?" Who's picking a daughter-in-law? ”

The lady replied, "As we say, our children are getting older, and some of them are already in the time to say goodbye, and they don't know how to choose a daughter-in-law." ”

Others immediately became interested in this topic: "Exactly, I heard that ......" Several ladies gossiped and gossiped, and in addition to gossiping, they praised the ladies outside the listening hall, and by the way, which one is engaged to be married, and which one is still waiting to be in the boudoir. A group of female dependents talked very lively, and some people said on the spot that they had a family affair, and they made an appointment to send Geng posts to each other when they turned around, so that they could be united and eight characters.

Where did Zhao Xiu and Fang Renzhu know these things? They were talking and laughing by the stream, and during this period, several daughters-in-law came to Zhao Xiu to ask for instructions, and she dealt with it casually and sent people away. Fang Renzhu exclaimed: "Really capable." My mother has also taught me housekeeping since last year, but I am stupid and don't know the essentials. ”

Zhao Xiu smiled: "If even you are stupid, there will be no smart people in the world." This kind of thing is very simple, you learn slowly, do it as you learn, and it won't take long to get started. Don't think about rote memorization, this kind of thing still depends on practice. ”

Fang Renzhu was about to ask her for more advice, when she heard the ladies joking in the distance, and for some reason suddenly quarreled. She and Zhao Xiu both looked over in amazement. (To be continued......)
