Chapter 32 The Zhong Family's Family Affairs
When he heard that the second lady asked her to clean the thatched house, Wuwen realized how blessed she was in Fang Shaoze's courtyard in the past.
These two ladies just used him to deal with Fang Shaoze, and now they saw that he was useless, so they abandoned him. But Wuwen didn't want to endure hardship, so he went to grind his father and mother again, and asked them to find a way to transfer themselves back to Fang Shaoze's yard.
"Mother~ I know you can't bear to see me go to the thatched house to clean the toilet! This time, you and your father will help me again, go and intercede with the fourth master, and ask me back! ”
But before Wuwen's mother could speak, Wuwen's father said coldly: "Before you left, didn't you say that the fourth young master found a good place for you?" Now that he regrets it, how embarrassed is he to intercede with the fourth master. ”
When Wuwen heard it, he was about to make trouble again, but suddenly saw Lang Mo hurriedly coming over with a wooden box and said, "Wuwen, the fourth young master asked me to come over and bring you a message, the things in the wooden box were rewarded to you in order to thank you for serving him for so many years." The fourth young master also instructed you to live well in the future.
When Wuwen heard it, he thought that Fang Shaoze was a little reluctant to him, so he wanted to get Mo to intercede for him, but Langmo shook his head and said: "When I came just now, the eldest young master said, although he doesn't care, the things that should be clear in his heart are clear, and the fourth young master also said that you should follow Brother An with peace of mind, otherwise, if you dislike this family and then dislike that family, then there will be no place for you in this Fang Mansion!" ”
This was said very bluntly, and after listening to Wuwen, his face turned red, and when he saw that he no longer spoke, he said goodbye and left.
When Langmo went back and passed these words to Fang Shaoze, he saw that Fang Shaoze said sincerely: "Rongmo, they should have left, do you have the idea of going to another courtyard to find a way out?" If you do, I'll do my best to arrange it for you! ”
Lang Mo shook his head fiercely and said: "I am already very content to serve the eldest young master, usually you are reluctant to let us do dirty work, and you never lose your temper with us, and always give us the food in your own courtyard, the slave is too late to thank you, how can you leave?" ”
"Even so, if you follow me, a young master who has no prospects, you will definitely be bullied in the mansion! You see that Wuwen has found another job, and you ...... too," Fang Shaoze sighed and continued.
Lang Mo seemed a little uncomfortable when he heard this: "Young master, Wuwen was fascinated, not everyone around Brother An is living a good life, just like this time, wasn't Wuwen also sent to the thatched house?" ”
Fang Shaoze's heart tightened after hearing this, but he didn't want to care anymore, and said helplessly: "You go and rest." ”
After Langmo left, Fang Shaoze held his forehead with a sad face, and said in his heart: If he had been ruthless and disciplined his subordinates as soon as possible, he would not have ended up today.
But Wuwen is also to blame, he shouldn't have colluded with others to harm his master! If it weren't for him, Zhai Ting wouldn't have gossiped about him and Luo Qinghe all over the street.
Fang Shaoze was distracted, and Granny Wen, who came in to clean up the house, was a little worried when she saw it, and said with concern: "Young Master, what's wrong with you?" ”
"It doesn't matter." Fang Shaoze heard it, but he didn't explain it again, and said in his heart: Now it's time to listen to what his grandmother means and keep some distance from his subordinates.
Granny Wen didn't care, but continued: "Then young master, what are we going to do after Ruyi comes over?" ”
When Fang Shaoze heard this, he said indifferently: "Right now, there is a shortage of people in our house, so let her do all the work that can be done!" From now on, I will still bother Granny Wen to abide by the rules in my courtyard tightly, and if you are good, you will be punished if you make mistakes, and then you should discipline them well! ”
Hearing Fang Shaoze's words, Granny Wen had an idea in her heart.
So the next day, when Ruyi came to Fang Shaoze's courtyard with a smile on her face and heavy makeup to report, Granny Wen shook her steps down and scolded: "You are a maid, you should pay attention to proportions in front of the young master, who should you show when you dress like this?" Also, without the young master's permission, you are not allowed to enter his bedroom and study! ”
Ruyi suddenly said angrily: "The old lady personally asked me to come!" ”
"What's the matter, did the old lady let you swagger in front of the young master with heavy makeup? Let's go to the old lady and ask how it is. Granny Wen said coldly.
As soon as these words came out, it reminded Ruyi: At that time, the old lady just said that she was coming to serve, but she didn't say anything about what she wanted to do.
Ruyi was shocked and knew that something was wrong.
At this time, Liu Wu suddenly came over, shoved the broom into Ruyi's hand and said, "You can start working now." ”
Peony was still a little unwilling, and subconsciously looked around for Fang Shaoze, but Yanyu on the side sneered: "You die, the young master has something to go out in the morning!" ”
This Fang Shaoze went out in the morning because of the old lady's order to pick up the old lady's mother's family.
Just after noon, Fang Shaoze led a dark-skinned young man and gave the old lady a bow.
I only heard the young man say: "My sister-in-law gave birth to a boy ten days ago, and my mother is grateful to my aunt and grandmother for her care over the years, so she asked me to bring some candy to tell you the good news!" ”
"Not bad, not bad, not bad! I said that there were always magpies crying in front of the door these two days, and it turned out to be such a great event! The old lady smiled.
This young man is a member of the old lady's mother's Zhong family, Zhong Mu.
However, although it is the mother's family, it is not the kind of real close blood relationship, but Zhong Mu's mother helped the Fang family a lot during the war a few years ago, so she became close to the old lady.
Although the Zhong family is not a big family, Mrs. Zhong is very strong, and she does not disdain to rely on people, but has been working hard to do a lot of business, and after years of accumulation, this family is also good.
However, some time ago, she was troubled by the fact that her eldest son had no heirs.
This Mrs. Zhong's eldest daughter-in-law has been infertile for many years, because this matter has attracted the gossip of the villagers, and in the end, Mrs. Fang came forward to invite a retired master of the world, and treated it for a while, which allowed the Zhong family to have an eldest grandson, so Mrs. Zhong was very grateful, and as soon as there was this happy event, she hurriedly asked Zhong Mu to come over and spread the word.
After Zhong Mu finished speaking, he handed the boxy envelope to the old lady and said, "Mother also asked me to forward this letter to you!" ”
The old lady took it with a smile and praised: "It's still your mother's hairpin flower that is the most beautiful!" ’
When Zhong Mu heard this, he said modestly: "My mother taught us that people can't be without culture, so no matter how hard the family has been for many years, she still insists on sending a few of us to study and learn calligraphy." ”
"Not bad! Your mother has always been a sensible and transparent person. The old lady smiled and nodded, and continued: "I'm afraid you're hungry all the way here!" Hurry up and go eat something with your brother, I'll have someone clean up the guest room, and you can stay with me for a few more days so that you can have fun with your brother!" ”
This time, Fang Shaoze finally revealed his youthful heart in front of his peers, and walked to the kitchen with Zhong Mu in a fight.
But this laughter was heard by Zhai Ting in the firewood room, and her eyes suddenly lit up, and she hurriedly said, "Which son?" ”
The grandmother, who was guarding her at the door, sneered, but did not answer.
But Zhai Ting didn't care at all, but played Xiao Jiujiu in her heart again: she has been making trouble for so many days, and the Fang family has not bowed their heads, so it can be seen that her marriage with Fang Shaoze is absolutely impossible! It's better to take a step back and let Mrs. Fang match herself with a good family!
This Zhai Ting was thinking so, but she didn't expect that the old lady would have the same plan after reading Mrs. Zhong's letter.
"This letter came just in time, Mama, you quickly take Uncle Zhai over!"
"Old lady, are you going to ......," the grandmother wondered.
"Exactly, Mrs. Zhong means to let me help Zhong Mu see if there is a good family affair, I think that Zhai Ting's appearance is acceptable, and it is also good to marry Zhong Mu!"
Mama was a little worried when she heard this: "But what if Zhai Ting's girl disturbs the peace of the Zhong family?" ”
But the old lady smiled comfortably and explained: "Now that the Zhong family has added the eldest grandson, the eldest daughter-in-law of the Zhong family naturally has to take care of the children, and many things in the family still need to be worried about personally, so Mrs. Zhong asked me to help Zhang Luo Zhongmu's marriage, and Mrs. Zhong means that as long as the girl's maiden family is not picky, she has the confidence to obey the rule of man." ”
As soon as she heard this, Mama breathed a sigh of relief and said with a smile: "Also, the slave remembers that Mrs. Zhong's temperament is not something that ordinary people can afford to provoke!" Even Zhai Ting can't be a demon, so this is a good place to go! ”
But the old lady was a little sad and said: "Actually, I wanted to find a rough man in that remote mountain to marry Zhai Ting, but I couldn't be ruthless after all." ”
When Mama heard this, she comforted her softly: "The old lady has always been kind, and the old slave thinks that it is right to let Zhai Ting go." Otherwise, when this word spreads outside, someone will have to talk about your mistreatment of the young master's uncle's family, this reputation is not good! ”
The old lady thought about it and felt that it was also the same truth, and said with emotion: "Actually, Zhai Ting is just because she has no father and mother since she was a child, so she can develop such a pampered temperament. The Zhong family is all down-to-earth and hardworking, and Zhai Ting only hopes to be disciplined better when she goes back this time...... And Shaoze's kid is about to go to Kyoto, so he can't leave with his heart in suspense! ”
When Mama heard this, she suddenly became a little worried: "The old lady should let the old slave accompany the young master!" ”
The old lady shook her head and said, "You are so old, how can you move tossed!" But... There are really no powerful people around Shaoze, and I'm really worried that he won't be able to eat those things, and his body will be burned again. ”
"That's not as good as..."Mantou seemed to have a plan, but he didn't dare to say it, just glanced at the old lady's face, but found that the old lady also had this plan.
After Fang Shaoze finished eating with Zhong Mu, he walked to the guest room with a smile.
But Zhong Mu seemed to remember something, and suddenly asked, "Brother Shaoze, when I came here just now, I heard about a girl who met Luo Qinghe, do you know her?" ”
Fang Shaoze's heart tightened after hearing this, and he said secretly: Why did this spread so far?
However, what Zhong Mu said was not about the two of them, but sighed, and said with some pity: "I heard that Luo Qinghe is a very smart girl, and she is very filial, and she has already carried the livelihood of the whole family when she is only a teenager, but it is a pity that the Shen family has no vision, and if you don't want such a good daughter-in-law, you regret the marriage." ”
Repentance? When Fang Shaoze heard this, he was very surprised, and listened to Zhongli's explanation quietly without saying a word.
The Wang family
Since Luo Qinghe's resignation was known to Yueniang and Aunt Wang, the atmosphere at home has been very depressing.
Luo Qinghe didn't dare to squeak for a few days, and now he was carefully rubbing against the wall to get sugar and sake from the kitchen, wanting to pickle rose petals.
Because the rose cake has been selling very well in recent days, Luo Qinghe plans to pickle more rose sauce at one time to make the filling.
But as soon as he entered the kitchen, Luo Qinghe saw his grandmother standing in front of the stove with a cold face, Luo Qinghe just wanted to smear oil on the soles of his feet, but he was suddenly snatched away by Aunt Wang, and was questioned: "If you don't marry now, how old will you be?" ”
Yueniang on the side listened to it, but whispered: "It's all gone, what's the use of talking about it now?" ”
