Chapter Seventy-One: Be Less Nosy!
Alone in the mansion, Fang Shaojin could only drag his little sister and fiddle with her hair while holding a hairpin.
Fang Ruoyu is still young, and she is very easy to deceive, as soon as she heard that her sister was going to wear flowers for herself, she honestly let Miss Fang San fiddle with it.
The Qin family saw that Fang Ruoyu's hair was tied up in a mess, but he didn't bother to care, after all, for his daughter, who was used to falling in love with jumping up and down, she was already quite honest at this time.
"Madam, Miss Luo dragged several bags of grain to the back kitchen, and the people in the back kitchen didn't know what she wanted to do, so let me pass a message to you."
After listening to the maid's words, Mama Zhu suddenly gave the Qin family a color. The Qin family understood, so he waved his hand and let her go.
However, Fang Shaojin, who was having fun on the side, suddenly lit up his eyes when he heard that Luo Qinghe had gone home, and he got up and was about to run out.
"Sister! I haven't put my flowers on yet! Seeing this, Fang Ruoyu shouted crisply.
casually inserted all the hairpins on the dresser on his sister's head, Fang Shaojin said casually: "Okay, Yu'er, you are so good-looking!" ”
"Really?" Looking at the flowers blooming on his head, Fang Ruoyu, who was only five years old, wondered.
"Nature is true! This hairstyle of yours is the favorite of the princess of the Northridge Palace! These hairpin sisters will be given to you! After Fang Shaojin fooled his sister at will, he ran away without looking back.
Aunt Liu smiled very lovingly, walked over and gently removed the messy hairpins on her daughter's head, and said softly: "Yu'er's current hairpins can only be used when they grow up, and my mother will comb them back to their original style, okay?" ”
"Good!" Fang Ruoyu only had these good-looking hairpins in her heart at the moment, so she didn't pay attention to what her mother said to her, but said to herself: "Mother, my sister said that these hairpins are mine!" Sister is so nice! ”
Aunt Liu said gently: "Then you have to thank your sister for your good life next time!" ”
"Hmm!" Fang Ruoyu responded sweetly, and whispered: "Mother, I think my sister is much better than the third brother!" ”
When Aunt Liu heard this, she covered Fang Ruoyu's offense, and said hurriedly: "How many times has my mother told you, you can't talk nonsense!" ”
Fang Ruoyu was a little aggrieved, but she still obediently whispered in Aunt Liu's ear: "Mother, the third brother said that he wanted me to take the little dog to the eldest brother's house to look for treasures, but I felt that he wanted to trick me, so I didn't listen to him." ”
Aunt Liu frowned when she heard this, raised her hand and gently touched the top of her daughter's head, and said softly: "Yu'er is so clever!" You did a good job this time, and you will stay away from your third brother in the future, remember? ”
"Remember!" Fang Ruoyu nodded seriously.
Aunt Liu sighed reassuringly, in fact, she had already seen through all the tricks in this family, but she just didn't want to pay attention to it.
After his mother combed her hair, Fang Ruoyu wanted to go to the garden to play for a while, but because of the maid's return, she was dragged by her own mother.
"Auntie, the people over there said that the pearl necklace of the third lady was found in Miss Luo's house, and there were people who bumped into Miss Luo and stole the food in the house."
"Is she a thief?"
Fang Ruoyu asked innocently, and was startled by his mother's eye knife: "Don't talk nonsense!" Some things are not necessarily true even by seeing, and we can't judge people casually! You stay in the house with your mother, don't go out! ”
Although Aunt Liu wants to hang high, some people just want to pull others into right and wrong.
Fang Ruoyuan led the Qin family's grandmother to push the door in a high-spirited manner, holding a jade pendant that looked like a pug and said with a smile: "Sister, is this your jade pendant?" ”
Fang Ruoyu looked at her mother's eyes and didn't dare to say anything. Aunt Liu knew that things were not good, so she could only deliberately say: "Yo, your sister is careless, this jade pendant has made her lose it several times, and every time I have to go through the entire yard to find it for her!" This time, you just picked it up, little master, quick, don't you thank the third brother? ”
Listening to Aunt Liu's explanation, Fang Ruoyuan was a little surprised and didn't know how to answer: "This... This time it wasn't my little sister who lost it! It was turned out in the eldest young master's house, and it was smoothed out when it was about to be taken care of! But after all, this jade pendant belongs to my sister, and I asked my aunt to go to the front yard with me to show her face. ”
Having said that, Aunt Liu couldn't refuse after all, so she could only grit her teeth and lead Fang Ruoyu to the land of right and wrong.
In the front yard, Luo Qinghe's face was flushed with anger, his fists were clenched, his chest was rising and falling, and he was gritting his teeth and holding back tears.
As soon as she saw her description, Aunt Liu understood even more: she was really tricked. But she couldn't protect herself, so Aunt Liu didn't say much, and said what Fang Cai explained to Fang Ruoyuan again, and then retreated to the side.
The Qin family took Aunt Liu's explanation seriously at all, just! Gu said to himself: "Luo Qinghe, aren't you still giving up?" ”
Seeing Qin's attitude, Luo Qinghe already understood that he had been framed, and the shame and anger of being wronged suddenly dissipated, and he said angrily: "I don't give up? Don't you know what the truth is? If you can't tolerate me, just say it! ”
The Qin clan naturally wouldn't admit it, and looked at Luo Qinghe and sneered: "What's the matter, you yourself are obsessed, do you still want to put the fault on me?" ”
"Okay, you said that I stole something from your Fang Mansion, so do you have any evidence?"
When Mama Zhu heard this, she hurriedly said: "The human and material evidence are all there!" You're asking about face denial? ”
Luo Qinghe stared at her and said coldly, "What kind of evidence are you?" The food I went out to buy just now was all old grain, and when I dragged it back to the house, I had already instructed Granny Wen to take care of it for me. But strangely, it didn't take a while for a lot of new grain to be in excellent condition, what's the matter, is your Fangfu's warehouse so blind? I, a weak woman, carried so many bags of food back and forth, and no one saw it! ”
When the aunt who had colluded with Mama Zhu heard this, she hurriedly said, "Girl, have you forgotten?" It was clear that you asked Granny Wen to ask me for these new grains, and said that it was for the eldest young master! ”
Seeing her talking nonsense with her eyes open like this, Luo Qinghe hated itchy, pointed at Granny Wen and said sharply, "When did I let you pass on such a thing?" ”
Granny Wen didn't know what was going on, and whispered, "Didn't you let me look at these grains?" But when I saw that this was all old grain, the eldest young master couldn't eat it! ”
When Luo Qinghe heard this, he wanted to strangle this old fool to death: This Granny Wen doesn't do anything on weekdays, but harming herself is a top trick!
Glaring at Granny Wen fiercely, Luo Qinghe said angrily: "When I went to buy these grains, I also clearly told you that I have to use the grain that has been stored for a long time and has lost moisture, how can you take this as a deaf ear?" ”
As soon as he saw that Luo Qinghe was about to explain, Qin immediately interrupted and said contemptuously: "Yo, didn't you confess before stealing something?" Are you a liar? I've never heard of anything that has to be made from old grain! What's the matter, do I have to force me to call the eldest young master too? ”
When Granny Wen heard this, she immediately panicked: How could this kind of dirty thing involve her own young master?
In order to prevent Fang Shaoze from getting involved in this matter, Granny Wen hurriedly knelt down in front of the Qin clan and begged: "Madam! Please also ask Mrs. Kai En Mo to be angry with the young master! We'll admit your mistake! ”
"Do you admit your mistake? What's the use of admitting mistakes? Qin glanced at Luo Qinghe meaningfully and sneered.
Seeing Qin's demeanor, Granny Wen couldn't care about anything else, and hurriedly turned around and shouted at Luo Qinghe: "Miss Luo, don't struggle!" Excuse yourself for your wife, and this matter is over! ”
The reason why Granny Wen said this was not because she had colluded with the Qin family, but because she felt in her heart that the Qin family was just trying to get angry with Luo Qinghe at the moment. Luo Qinghe is not a noble master, she is a common person, bow your head! As long as Fang Shaoze can be calm, Granny Wen doesn't care about other people's feelings!
Fang Shaojian, who had been watching from the side and did not speak, was also a little puzzled at this time: "Mother, I went to look for Miss Fang Cai Luo as soon as she entered the mansion, and I didn't see her asking Granny Wen to ask for food from the treasury!" ”
"Be less nosy!" Seeing that his daughter was dismantling her own platform at this time, Qin Shi was dissatisfied: "She even stole your favorite earring pendant, and you still speak for her?" ”
In fact, Fang Shaojin has no bottom in his heart about the earrings. She used to have that big temperament, and there were many people in her room who took advantage of her inattention to steal those pearl hairpin jewelry to exchange for silver, and at that time, Fang Shaojin thought that she had lost it carelessly. It wasn't until later that the Qin family discovered that there was no good place for the girl's whole body, which frightened those who were thinking crookedly.
Therefore, when he encountered this again, Fang Shaojin didn't know who to believe.
At this time, Mama Zhu was carrying Fang Ruoyu's puppy jade pendant, and asked Luo Qinghe with a proud face: "Even if we take 10,000 steps back, if the little lady's pendant is really picked up by you, why don't you return it immediately, but take it yourself?" ”
Seeing that they were still endlessly framing themselves here, Luo Qinghe's patience finally ran out. But this is Granny Wen, who still didn't give up dragging Luo Qinghe and asked her to kowtow to the Qin family and admit her mistake.
Finally couldn't bear it, Luo Qinghe kicked Granny Wen away with red eyes.
"Granny Wen, I don't know how you are a slave! If you insist on admitting this sin for the sake of calming things, then our eldest young master, this crime of unclean hands and feet will definitely fall on the young master's head! Luo Qinghe said, turned his head to Qin and sneered: "Let me tell you, I haven't done this, and I will never let you slander like this!" ”
Suddenly pulled down from the small purse that he had never left from his waist, Luo Qinghe opened it with a sneer, only to see that there were a few gold ingots and a pile of broken silver taels inside. Luo Qinghe sneered: "My silver is the coil that the fifth young master of the Luoquan Fang family rewarded me with when I left Luoquan at that time, there are more than four hundred taels of silver, dare to ask how much your earrings and jade pendants are worth?" If I want it, I will steal it? ”
Mama Zhu rolled her eyes, and said angrily: "Hmph! Who knows if your silver taels were also stolen from the Fang family? ”
Luo Qinghe chuckled, raised his left hand and clasped his thumb and little thumb together, and said, "People are doing it, and the sky is watching!" I, Luo Qinghe, swear to the sky, even if I steal a grain of rice from the Fang family, I will be lonely for the rest of my life! Even if I get married, I am disliked by my in-laws every day, and even my children will not die well! ”
In this era, the word oath has always been very important, so now Luo Qinghe's poisonous oath has frightened everyone here.
Looking at the Qin family coldly, Luo Qinghe said unceremoniously: "Mrs. Qin, since you believe that I stole it, do you dare to swear that if today's grievances are deliberately framed by someone, then all the people involved in it will not be at peace every day, and their children will not die well?" ”
Qin's heart was weak, so naturally he didn't dare to swear by Luo Qinghe's general gambling curse, so he could only say strongly: "Who gave you the courage to dare to talk to your elders like this!" ”
"Hmph, what are you afraid of?" Luo Qinghe sneered: "Since you yourself know that your heart is weak, don't use some clumsy means to pour dirty water on people here!" Auntie, I don't want to live in your kennel anymore! I tell you, if I hear anyone slandering me again in the future, then I will go to the temple every day to offer incense and pray, so that those people will be separated from their wives and their families will be ruined! ”
"Enough!" In the end, it was the Qin family's own daughter, and Fang Shaojin couldn't bear to see others talking to his mother like this: "Mother, we are not afraid of shadows, you swear!" ”
Swear? The Qin clan also has to dare!
Seeing her mother's pale face, Fang Shaojin suddenly understood what was going on, but instinct made her unwilling to face such a reality, gritted her teeth and learned Luo Qinghe's words: "My Shaojin is here to swear for my mother, if it is my mother who deliberately frames Miss Luo today, then my Shaojin will definitely not be at peace every day after marrying in the future, and the children will not die well!" ”
"You're crazy!" Hearing his daughter curse him like this, Qin's eyes turned red.
Looking at this farce with a sneer, Luo Qinghe shook his head and said: Now that this has come to this, I am not here to hinder your eyes! Before I leave the Fang Mansion, if anyone still has any objections to this matter, just come to me! But once I leave the Fang family, if anyone comes to me again, I won't be done with her! ”
With that, Luo Qinghe turned his head and left.
At this time, no one around the Qin clan dared to step forward to stop them, only Fang Shaojian, who had figured out the truth of the facts, was so angry that he threw a few words at the Qin clan, and left angrily.
When Fang Shaoze and Fang Shaojun returned home after finishing the invitation, they didn't see Luo Qinghe's figure anywhere, and they casually pulled someone over and asked, but the person was too cowardly to speak, and left after kowtowing.
With some ominous premonitions in his heart, Fang Shaoze hurriedly went back to find Granny Wen and asked anxiously, "What happened?" What about Luo Qinghe? ”
Granny Wen hesitated and said, "Miss Luo... There was some conflict with his wife, and he was so angry that he left the Fang Mansion. ”
"What?" Fang Shaoze was taken aback, and hurriedly said, "You explain this matter to me!" ”
Seeing that Fang Shaoze was so anxious, Granny Wen didn't dare to hide it anymore, so she honestly explained everything about Fang Cai, and at the end she added two sentences: "Luo Qinghe's girl too, no matter what happens, how can she talk to Mrs. like that?" Regardless of whether she stole it or not, she kowtowed and admitted her mistake, so why let Madame look at her unpleasantly? But don't worry, young master, I've already left you out of this matter......"
Granny Wen was talking, but suddenly saw Fang Shaoze glaring at her fiercely, her face pale.
Seeing Fang Shaoze suddenly staring at him so angrily, Granny Wen couldn't help but be afraid.
"You kneel for me!" Fang Shaoze endured and endured, but finally couldn't help the majestic anger in his heart.
Granny Wen couldn't believe her ears for a long time, Fang Shaoze couldn't do without her pulling a handful of and urine when she was a child, and she also respected herself very much over the years, but why did she treat herself like this now?
"Didn't you take me seriously?" Fang Shaoze said angrily in a deep voice.
Granny Wen felt a little real at this time, and her voice trembled: "Young Master, I'm but..."
Seeing that she still had to rely on the old and sell the old, Fang Shaoze frowned and took out the momentum of the head of the family, and said, "Wen Hongmei, you have been a poor person in the Fang family for more than 20 years!" Over the years, I have thought that you are my mother's dowry, and I am dedicated to our sake, so I have tolerated your transgression and mistakes countless times, but today, you are indeed too much! ”
The words pierced Granny Wen's heart like a sharp knife, and I saw Granny Wen with tears in her eyes, and said unwillingly: "Fourth Young Master, how can you say that I am arrogant?" Since childhood, who pulled you with a handful of and a handful of urine..."
"Is this the reason why you are disrespectful to your master again and again! Every time you're nosy, I think about how hard you have to endure it! It's ridiculous that you still blame others again and again for not knowing how to measure and not know what to do? But why aren't you like that, who took care of me when I was a child for many years, and always demanded that I treat you differently than others, and that you be superior to others? ”
"Young Master! How can you be so ungrateful! Granny Wen couldn't stand being accused like this by Fang Shaoze, and immediately cried.
"Am I ungrateful? If I am ungrateful, how can I tolerate you preaching to me endlessly for many years, and how can I pick up everything for you in terms of food and clothing? But you! If you really think about me like this, why can't you control the Wuwen family? Why didn't you stand up when the second aunt bullied me? ”
I... I'm a subordinate, how dare I! Granny Wen made excuses for herself in her heart.
Seeing her look, Fang Shaoze knew in his heart: "I know that you must say that you are just a subordinate again, right?" But when you tell me to tell me to point fingers at me, why can't you remember that you are a subordinate? You said that you have served me for many years and let me remember your kindness, but why don't our Fang family give you wages every month for food and shelter? Your so-called kindness is nothing but what you should do as a subordinate, it is your duty! ”
Duty? I have been working hard for so many years, can I only say that it is my duty? Granny Wen subconsciously wanted to refute, but she didn't know where to start.
But Fang Shaoze didn't care about her, but said to himself: "But Luo Qinghe is not a descendant of our Fang family, and she doesn't take a penny from our Fang family, but she still takes care of me so seriously along the way, thinking about me everywhere!" If it weren't for her, I wouldn't have become Mr. Zhao's disciple; If it weren't for her, I wouldn't have come to Guangling unscathed and stayed in the Fang family! How can you protect me everywhere like she does? ”
In fact, Granny Wen also knew that Luo Qinghe took care of Fang Shaoze, but she still struggled and said, "Young Master, why don't I think about you everywhere?" ”
"Thinking of me everywhere? You and I really think about me, how could you let them squeeze Luo Qinghe away? Fang Shaoze used to only be a real person for Granny Wen, but he didn't expect her to be so stupid: "You don't want to think about it, why does Mrs. Qin have to target Luo Qinghe?" She is a helpless little girl, what can Mrs. Qin take a fancy to? ”
Seeing that Granny Wen was still very puzzled, Fang Shaoze hated iron and said: "The reason why Mrs. Qin is so desperate to take Luo Qinghe away seems to be unable to tolerate her on the surface, but in fact she can't tolerate me!" How can you let Luo Qinghe admit her mistake in front of everyone? Luo Qinghe is the person I brought, if she admits that her hands and feet are not clean, then I can't get out of this matter! ”
"No, it won't! Granny Wen hurriedly shook her head and said, "Madam said that as long as Luo Qinghe admits his mistake, then this matter will not be taken care of!" ”
The reason why she said that was just because the reasons she had prepared were blocked by Luo Qinghe, and she was forced to be helpless, but she couldn't find any other reason to delve in! Otherwise, with Qin's personality, how could she let Luo Qinghe go so easily? After Fang Shaoze explained coldly, he turned his head and was about to go out.
When Granny Wen saw it, she still didn't give up and stopped her on the grounds of loyalty: "No, young master!" Luo Qinghe is just a country girl, not a family member! Don't be angry with the old lady for her! ”
Waving his hand to push her aside, Fang Shaoze sneered: "Then you think that Lord Fang and Mrs. Qin are my family?" After speaking, Fang Shaoze didn't look at Granny Wen again, and went straight out of Fang's house and went to Zhiliju.
Sure enough, Luo Qinghe was really staying at Aunt Zhou's house at the moment.
Seeing that Fang Shaoze's face was pale, and he came angrily, Aunt Zhou consciously led Brother Yun to hide out.
"It's useless for you to come to me, I will never step into the door of the Fang Mansion again!" Luo Qinghe and Fang Shaoze were angry, but they didn't expect that a purse with some residual warmth was suddenly stuffed in his hand.
"You can keep this purse, go find a better house to rent tomorrow!"
When he opened the purse, Luo Qinghe suddenly gasped: This is a full five thousand taels of silver tickets! Can't see that Fang Shaoze, this kid, still hides money?
"This is not for you to squander! At this time, before I left, my grandmother was a dowry in exchange, you... Don't let her old man down! ”
Seeing that Fang Shaoze handed over the last family foundation to himself, Luo Qinghe's heart warmed, but he couldn't bear to accept it after all.
"You keep it!" Fang Shaoze said firmly: "This time, after I know that the Holy Lord is preparing to organize Taixue, I will definitely stay in Guangling and fight for my future!" So don't save too much money yourself, and you still have to find a secluded safety shoe where you live! ”
Luo Qinghe nodded and said slowly: "I will figure out how to eat and live by myself!" Wait a minute, the reason why I hid in Zhou Daniang's house is just because I'm afraid that it won't be safe in the inn! And I've already told Aunt Zhou to ask me if anyone is willing to rent out the house. ”
Fang Shaoze was relieved at this time, but he instructed a little awkwardly: "You'd better rent an independent yard, it's quiet and comfortable, it's okay to be a little more expensive!" Also, I'm going to let people and Qixian Ling get the ink back to help you, and you don't have to worry if he's there..."
"No, I still don't need your men!" Luo Qinghe's face changed, and he said in a muffled voice.
Fang Shaoze paused for words and sighed lightly: "I just blamed Granny Wen fiercely, she is a little dull, but she has no intention of harming others." ”
"She doesn't have the intention to hurt others, she can help the villain force me to this point, if she really has the intention to hurt others, then I don't know what will happen to me!" Shaking his head with a pout, Luo Qinghe was still very resistant.
Seeing that he couldn't persuade her, Fang Shaoze had no choice but to give everything he could instruct, and then returned to Fang's mansion helplessly.
The Qin family originally thought that Fang Shaoze would settle accounts with himself after knowing this, but after waiting and waiting, he only heard that he blamed Granny Wen and never moved again.
However, although Fang Shaoze did not investigate the truth of this matter, he suddenly asked Fang Mansion to ask someone to go to Qixian Ridge to bring a message, and it was not a big deal, so Fang Jinglin readily agreed.
In fact, Fang Jinglin felt that as long as Fang Shaoze could stay in the Fang family honestly, other things were not worth worrying about.
While Fang Shaoze thanked him, Fang Jinglin instructed him to practice the guzheng well, and then prepared Fang Shaojun's celebration banquet with confidence.
On August 18, a very auspicious day, when the holy car of Murong Wei, the son of heaven, returned to Guangling from the Beiling Palace. Many people want to take advantage of this annual opportunity to open their eyes, but only Luo Qinghe just wants to find a place to live for himself.
She had never cared about the house before, but when she asked like this, she realized that at the foot of the imperial city of this era, the gold of these houses is simply as expensive as in modern times! If you want to rent a house that suits you, you must be prepared to cut meat, and if you want to buy a decent one... That's not something you can do with money!
In order to rent a house, Aunt Zhou also specially found a dental protector for Luo Qinghe, Mr. Cao.
After listening to Luo Qinghe's request, Mr. Cao seriously suggested: "Girl, according to your requirements, I still suggest that you buy a set of yards." After all, the rent is very expensive at the moment, and if you live in it for two or three years, the rent will be about the same as buying a yard. And if you buy a yard, then when you leave Guangling, you can sell this yard, and you can earn it back with interest! Our yard in Guangling has always only appreciated, not lowered! ”
Seeing that Mr. Cao was so honest and thinking about himself, Luo Qinghe was very grateful, but after all, buying a yard was not a trivial matter, she still had to talk to Fang Shaoze.
"Then may I ask if the gentleman has any suitable house for me? But I don't have much money on me, and I can't afford it. ”
"How much money is the girl going to spend?"
Luo Qinghe calculated in his heart: "Hmm... About five hundred taels of silver, do you think it's okay? ”
