Volume 2 Chapter 167 "You Are in My Eyes"
When Fang Qi was about to say goodbye, a servant came over and said that the old lady had invited her to see Fang Qi.
David's vulgarity, the ordinary hospitality of the children and grandchildren, especially the movement between the ladies, in most cases, the elders will not come forward, but since the old lady Tong opened her mouth and said that she wanted to see Fang Qi, whether it was Ding Wenpei or Fang Qi, it was naturally difficult to refuse.
Although Fang Qi had not heard Yan Chi mention Mrs. Tong emphatically, through Zhou Xiaoniang's mouth, he still had a certain degree of understanding of Ding Jiushan's old wife.
Mrs. Tong should be called "master" by her father, because of Mrs. Wang's "honorable" status, she never worries about these affairs of the entertainment teacher for Qin Jing, but Zhou Xiaoniang understands the situation of the Ding family better.
In Zhou Xiaoniang's narrative, Ding Jiushan and Mrs. Tong don't seem to be so compatible.
Ding Jiushan is the son of a eunuch, but Mrs. Tong is a poor woman, the origin of the child father is actually similar to Qin Xun, but he obviously does not have Qin Xun's luck, the child father entered the Ming Jing Branch, and the two county orders were idle, although Mrs. Tong can also be regarded as an official eunuch, but in fact, they are all following their mother in the ancestral home to manage crops and other affairs, Tong Mother is an ordinary peasant girl, illiterate, resulting in Mrs. Tong will only be a sericulture girl, a thousand words can not be recognized.
Zhou Xiaoniang listened to Qin Jing's statement-
Ding Jiushan has little ambition, put the establishment of a career before starting a family, after the title of the gold list, he is still unwilling to attach to the prestige, just want to win the road to the green cloud with real talent and real learning, but he did not expect that the career has been repeatedly frustrated, resulting in a moment of drowning, when it is difficult, he met the boy father, and was entertained by the boy father, Ding Jiushan felt that the boy father did not take people with the situation of Rongda and despair, and he was the real gentleman who was light on fame and fortune and friendship, and the daughter taught by the true gentleman must be a true lady, so he was willing to marry.
And Ding Jiushan has not accepted a concubine for the rest of his life, which can also show how deeply he has a deep affection for Mrs. Tong.
In David, it was not uncommon for officials not to take concubines.
There are many examples of even dignitaries.
Such as Qin Xun, such as Yan Yong, such as Xin Tanzhi, who is also considered an "upstart".
But only Mrs. Tong seems to be quite "jealous" by the world, because the vast majority of people think that she is not worthy of Ding Jiushan's deep affection, under the background of Ding Jiushan's gentlemanly demeanor, Mrs. Tong seems to be particularly useless, and she may not feel strange in the past, but she has now learned that Ding Jiushan actually has a different heart.
None of this was enough to make Fang Qi curious about Mrs. Tong.
She wants to "Chu River Han Realm" with Ding Jiushan and Ding Jiushan's family, so she should stop at ordinary entertainment, she asked Zhou Xiaoniang about Mrs. Tong because of untimely needs, but Fang Qi didn't expect that "untimely needs" could still work seriously.
The courtyard where Mrs. Tong lives is much wider than Ding Wenpei's boudoir, and it can be seen that it should have been repainted and decorated a few years ago, Fang Qi couldn't help but think of the discussion from others revealed by Zhou Xiaoniang, although Mrs. Tong was born in a poor family, but lived a luxurious life, which is undoubtedly not in line with Ding Jiushan's image of two sleeves and a breeze, it is no wonder that many officials and relatives sighed for Ding Jiushan.
The hall room is paved with a vermilion peony carpet, Mrs. Tong is sitting in the middle of the rosewood carved magpie climbing the back of the couch, behind the couch a picture screen is also the festive style of flowers blooming rich, at a glance, I saw that she was wearing a bright blue begonia pattern of big sleeves, revealing a high-necked red silk brocade jacket, and then take a closer look, Fang Qi was slightly surprised.
It is said that Mrs. Tong is also nearly sixty years old, but there is no trace of crepe on her face, if she changes into a less old-fashioned dress, she is afraid that someone will believe her when she is just in her early thirties.
Well-maintained, it is also a natural beauty, Fang period understands a little why the officials and their relatives don't like Mrs. Tong very much, most women are inevitably jealous, all of them are looking forward to eternal youth, but unfortunately the years will not favor most people, so those who are lucky enough to be favored are easy to be envious, jealous and hateful.
"Sanniang is really born well." Mrs. Tong praised her appearance.
And then there was a slight coldness.
So Fang Qi knew that Mrs. Tong was indeed not very good at talking, just like the rumors.
Of course, Ding Wenpei accompanied Fang Qi to meet her grandmother, but she was very good at alleviating the sudden embarrassment of the scene, and pushed Fang Qi to sit on the other half of Mrs. Tong's backrest couch, she herself sat on Zhang Xiudun, and said with a smile: "I have been to the Xiangdi with my wife several times in the past, but unfortunately I didn't get acquainted with Sanniang earlier, although it is not too late now, but I still regret the past years, if I can often be with Sanniang, it must be much more interesting." ”
This is the implication of hoping to communicate more in the future, but Fang Qi can only smile and not answer.
She is not arrogant, who let Ding Xiaoniang not have a good grandfather, the enemy of Yan Guoshi, he has to be estranged.
I didn't want to follow closely and listened to Mrs. Tong say: "Siniang don't regret it, I'm in charge, can I marry Qin Sanniang to be your sister-in-law?" ”
Aromatic period: ......
Now even Ding Wenpei feels embarrassed, she is the lady of the Xiangdi, grandmother, what kind of master is your old man doing? And even if there is a marriage, how can you ask me, my granddaughter, if she feels good?
Fang Qi knew that Ding Wenpei was the daughter of Ding Jiushan's youngest son, and her cousin was the poor child whose biological mother was calculated by her grandfather to serve a sentence, or she heard Zhou Xiaoniang say that Ding Jiushan's eldest daughter-in-law was fortunate to have a son-in-law after giving birth to three daughters in a row, so although Ding Jiushan said that he was more than sixty people, the eldest grandson was only fifteen years old, and he should be a month younger than her.
"Sanniang, although my eldest aunt is not charitable, but he was raised by his grandfather since he was a child, and his conduct is not to be said, he is very compatible with Sanniang, I said that I can be the master, but also because your father has to call me a master, and I am also your elder."
Mrs. Tong's expression is kind, and her tone is gentle, but this "choice of words and sentences" is becoming more and more blunt.
Fang Qi remembered that her grandmother had recently entered the palace, and vaguely understood the hook up.
She smiled: "Old lady's words, are you listening to Ding's bus?" ”
"The marriage of the eldest grandson naturally has to be approved by the grandson."
Ding Wenpei heard her grandmother say this, and she was so anxious that she almost didn't open her mouth to stop it.
"Old lady, the younger generation has heard some slander in the past, saying that the old lady was not born in the door of poetry and books, so there are often rude and rude things."
Mrs. Tong didn't expect Fang Qi to embarrass her in person, she was really embarrassed at this time, and her face almost blushed, but she didn't get angry.
"But in the eyes of the younger generation, although the old lady is not from the door of poetry and books, her temperament is gentle and charitable, but the old lady is straightforward and virtuous, but it is a pity that Ding Gong is an official of the Ministry of Rites in vain, and has a reputation of loyalty and selflessness, but he deceives and uses the old lady, and lets the old lady take the blame for slander."
At this time, even Ding Wenpei was stunned, opening phoenix eyes that were actually somewhat similar to Mrs. Tong, and saluted Fang Qi in amazement.
"The younger generation doesn't know why, there is a nobleman who forced Ding Gong to marry with Xiangdi, Ding Gong didn't think that I could match Ling Sun at all, but he didn't dare to refuse bluntly because of the word stake, and he told the old lady that it was a persecution and rude rhetoric when he heard this, Ding Gong wanted to provoke me to contradict the old lady, then this marriage would naturally not be done, and I became an arrogant person, Ding Gong thought that I had gained notoriety, and the noble man would be satisfied, and he would definitely not embarrass Ding Gong again, a good elder. He is so deliberately calculating me, a boudoir woman. ”
Fang Qi smiled and groaned, and first saluted Mrs. Tong: "The younger generation will not complain about the old lady, but they will definitely let the elders of the family reason with Ding Gong." He turned his smiling face to Ding Wenpei again: "Siniang is entertaining today, but I can't return to the host, only thank you." ”
She is not afraid of offending Ding Jiushan.
And Yan Chi should also be happy to see her give Ding Jiushan this heavy slap, although with her ability, it is impossible to cause Ding Jiushan to become infamous, but if she forces her grandfather to stab Ding Jiushan's intentions, will Queen Zhou hate Ding Jiushan's yang and yin?
Ding Jiushan, this disgusting hypocrite, he is clearly unforgettable for He Qian's family, but he can't never marry for life, marry Mrs. Tong as his wife, and deliberately cause Mrs. Tong to be slandered, the world thinks that Mrs. Tong is not worthy of him, through this way, he signaled to He Qian's - can't marry Qing as a wife, it's really my lifelong regret, without you and I grow old together, even if I am a child, this life can not be happy and happy.
Therefore, He Qian's will also regret it, and he will also miss him, although they can't be husband and wife, they are still heart-to-heart.
Fang Qi felt that if he stayed in Ding's house for even a breath, he couldn't help but vomit.
Who knew that she had just left the corner gate of Ding's house, and before she boarded the car, she saw someone who made her lose her appetite.
The listless Peng Zizhan.
Peng Zizhan obviously didn't expect to meet Fang Qi outside the door of Ding's house, and was stunned for a moment before stepping forward to greet Shi Shiran: "Third sister." ”
He is now Fang Qi's brother-in-law, and it is natural to shout "third sister", but Fang Qi is very mindful of shouting this title from Peng Zizhan's mouth, and said coldly: "Ling Xian can't wait to crush my bones and scatter ashes, isn't it hypocritical for Peng Langjun to call me such a title, let's treat it as a stranger when we meet in the future." ”
Holding Chang Ying's hand, he boarded the car, but Peng Zizhan stepped forward: "No matter what Erniang thinks of you, but in my eyes, Sanniang will definitely not be a villain who is greedy for vanity and femme fatale......"
Fang Qi rolled his eyes before turning around and looking at Peng Zizhan condescendingly: "What do you think I have to do with me, although it is so much that the lips and tongues of the hall dance, so that the world knows that I am greedy for vanity, but Peng Langjun will not think that I will be upset and sad, right?" It's not clear what kind of character Ling Tang is Lin'an City's official family, it's a good thing to be slandered by her, but it's a big deal to be recognized by her, as for what Peng Langjun thinks of me, it's like how a bandit treats a criminal officer, who cares. ”
She really didn't care, she was too lazy to look at Peng Zizhan more, and it wasn't until she was almost home that she remembered to wonder why Peng Zizhan would go to Ding's house today.
Peng Zizhan handed over the "East Fence Post".
It turned out that Ding Jiushan set up an East Fence Society, and every month would choose a period of the Society, and a group of celebrities and Qing Yao discussed philosophy, which also attracted many Confucian students to sit and listen, but not all Confucian students have the qualifications to sit and listen to the East Fence Philosophy, and they have to present the East Fence post to Ding Jiushan first, if the request post is not returned, they can attend the lecture.
Peng Zizhan has handed over a lot of reply posts in the past, but he has not been "left in the club", but he has now become Qin Jing's son-in-law, and Qin Jing is a student of Ding Jiushan.
Peng Zizhan naturally had to hand over the post in person.
But today is not Mu Xiu, of course Ding Jiushan is not at home at this time, one of his nephews came forward to receive Peng Zizhan, and after talking about the relevant matters of the East Fence Society, Ding's nephew seemed to mention casually: "Xiaolang's wife and sister are worthy of being the daughter of the Prime Minister's house, arrogant, and really jaw-dropping." ”
This is not a good thing to hear, Peng Zizhan hurriedly asked: "What does Uncle Ding Shi mean by this?" ”
"Today, Qin Sanniang came to Dingmen as a guest, and when she met the old lady, she was disrespectful, and her sharp teeth could reprimand the old lady and Siniang so much that they didn't dare to return the word."
Peng Zizhan hurriedly said again: "Qin Sanniang's speech is indeed very powerful, and she happened to meet Qin Sanniang outside Ding Gongmen's door today, and she was also angrily reprimanded, alas, Qin Sanniang's temperament is really becoming more and more arrogant." ”
"Ding's nephew" won't say much.
