Before going to bed, Yueniang seemed to have finally made up her mind, put the wooden box in her arms on the edge of the kang, and said, "I've decided!" ”

"What's wrong with this suddenness?" Aunt Wang, who was chatting with the shopkeeper Wang, wondered.

Yueniang replied with a firm gaze: "I decided to let Fang Shaoze lead Nannan to Kyoto to find her father." ”

Yueniang's words made the three of them very confused, but before Luo Qinghe could ask, Yueniang said: "You go and fetch water for us to wash, and our elders will discuss specific matters again!" ”

"Discuss? You have to discuss the matter of sending me to Kyoto alone? Luo Qinghe was very puzzled, and was about to resist but was dragged out of the house by Yueniang.

Luo Qinghe felt unwilling, and wanted to squat under the corner to see if he could hear any news, but after squatting for a long time, he really didn't hear a word.

What's the situation? I was sold by my own mother? After listening to it for a long time, Luo Qinghe finally gave up, shook his head and went to the kitchen to get hot water.

Inside the house, Yueniang and the second elder of the Wang family explained the ins and outs of this matter in detail.

"The reason why I didn't agree to Aunt Guo's proposal that day was mainly because I took care of his father, after all, his father was a scholar, and naturally he also hoped that he could marry a learned person, and it didn't matter how much family wealth he had. Although Guo Tao is honest and honest, he doesn't know a single big word, I really don't want to disappoint her father! ”

When the shopkeeper heard this, he also felt a little sympathetic to Yueniang's idea. Although Luo Qingwen didn't live at home for a long time back then, the cultivation temperament revealed in his words and deeds was not even comparable to Fang Shaoze, this person looked like a scholarly aristocratic son.

But Aunt Wang suddenly sighed, and said with red eyes: "Girl, I know what you think in your heart, but under this condition, if you really marry a powerless scholar, how will you live in the future?" Although Guo Tao has no culture, working hard is a top trick, and at least he doesn't have to worry about his livelihood! ”

Hearing Aunt Wang's words, Yueniang also nodded and said: "Because of this reason, I didn't clearly disagree with this marriage that day, but after going to Fangfu that day, the old lady also gave us a promise." ”

Fang Mansion

It was also before going to bed, and Mrs. Fang was also handling Fang Shaoze's luggage.

Thinking that the room was not bright enough, the old lady insisted on adding several candlesticks to the shelf, and chased after Fang Shaoze to tell him carefully.

"I have specially prepared some low-key and simple clothes for you this time, although these clothes look ordinary. But the inner lining is sewn with fine satin, which is very comfortable to wear! The quilt core used for the bedding is also silk, and you must be careful to let others find out when you cover it! This journey is difficult and dangerous, and it is not good if you miss the fortune tricks and the bad people are worried about it! ”

"Grandma, I remember!" Fang Shaoze nodded in response.

"This small box is full of typhoid fever and heat-clearing pills, and some safflower oil and other treatments, I also told Granny Wen in detail, if you feel unwell, you must remember to use medicine!"

"Don't worry about that, I'll take care of it!"

"These are all copper dining utensils, and there is a set of bone china tea sets, and the tea leaves are all good, don't use things outside easily, grandmother is afraid that it will not be clean."

"Old lady, take it easy, I will definitely clean up for the young master!" Mama laughed on the side.

Seeing that everything that should be prepared was almost ready, the old lady nodded, and pulled Fang Shaoze to the outhouse with confidence.

But after a long time, she didn't hear Fang Shaoze speak, the old lady was a little worried, and asked, "Grandson, are you worried about going far away..."

Fang Shaoze didn't speak when he heard this, he just shook his head, and held the old lady's hand tightly and refused to let go.

Seeing Fang Shaoze's reaction, the old lady also guessed his thoughts, and then choked up with red eyes at that time: "Grandson, grandma understands your thoughts, but a good man has ambitions in all directions, grandma really doesn't want to see you miss your future in this rural place!" ”

"But I don't want to leave you..."Fang Shaoze still didn't dare to raise his head and whispered.

When the old lady heard this, the tears that she had been holding back instantly slipped down, and she choked up: "What's this, grandmother is waiting for you at home!"

Fang Shaoze stepped forward, hugged his grandmother who had just reached his chest, and trembled all over: "You must take care!" ”

The old lady nodded. Fang Shaoze, the child, was brought to his side when he was not a vase, and the old lady did everything herself, working day and night to raise it to such a big age, thinking of this, the old lady suddenly burst into tears.

But no matter how reluctant he is, he can't let his grandson stay in the countryside for such selfishness, and he will never come out!

Last time, Mr. Zhao quietly told Fang Shaoze that the new emperor needed a large number of talents in order to stabilize the court after he ascended the throne, so he opened the emperor list and said that the world was recruiting talents.

But the old lady wondered why her son, who was an official in Kyoto, had no news about such a big matter.

This time, she asked Fang Shaoze to go to the capital, saying that she missed her father to visit, so if the old lady followed, I was afraid that someone would say that the seventy-year-old mother of the fourth master led her left-behind son to Beijing to survive.

So no matter how sad she was in her heart, for the sake of Fang Shaoze's future and the reputation of the Fang family, the old lady must also send him to Kyoto.

Now that everything is ready, only Luo Qinghe's girl is missing.

The Wang family

Yueniang and the second elder of the Wang family were still discussing Luo Qinghe's going to Beijing in the house.

Aunt Wang said sadly: "We are a girl in the end, this trip is a long way, if she has been following Fang Shaoze, this lonely man and widow have stayed together for so long, won't her reputation be ruined?" ”

"That's right! Girl, either you go with you. The shopkeeper echoed.

"No way!" Yueniang hurriedly denied when she heard this: "If I leave, there will be only two of you left in the family, so how should you make a living?" We have a lot of hard work every day in the dim sum shop, and I'm afraid you won't be able to withstand it. Besides, this time with Fang Shaoze went to Beijing with Lane Mo and Granny Wen, I heard the old lady say that she wanted Fang Shaoze to take Nannan, because she felt that she was young and powerful, and her brain was good at cooking, so let her help Fang Shaoze along the way, besides, if something really happened......"

Seeing Yueniang's desire to speak and stop, the second elder of the Wang family held his breath and waited for her answer.

Looking out of the window, Yue Niang cautiously leaned over and said in a very small voice, and the second elder of the Wang family listened to it for a long time before he said slowly: "The old lady of the Fang family is also a trustworthy person, this is credible." ”

But the shopkeeper was a little worried: "But it's not enough to just say!" It's better to let the old lady leave a letter of commitment or something, and if something really happens, we can find them! ”

"Do you mean to allow Nan Nan and Fang Shaoze to go to Beijing?" Yueniang's eyes lit up.

When the shopkeeper heard this, he nodded and said, "The matter has come to this point, so let's agree!" I'm looking forward to her peace now, and it's best to find her father back! ”

"That's right!" Aunt Wang echoed: "Now that this matter is decided, then let's start packing up for Nannan!" I don't know when I'll be able to come back from this trip, but I have to bring everything I should bring. ”

But the shopkeeper Wang stopped: "What are you doing with so much?" It's not easy to take on the road. You don't have to worry about food or anything, you pick up some clothes for her, and then carry some more silver, and when you get to Kyoto, let you buy it yourself if you need it! ”

Hearing what the shopkeeper said, Yueniang put down the jewelry she wanted to give to Luo Qinghe, and seemed to remember something: "When you say this, I think of something..."

"What?" The second elder of the Wang family looked at Yueniang suspiciously.

In the early morning of the second day, when the two ladies had just finished washing up and were about to eat, they heard the second master of the "handshake shopkeeper" on the side speak: "Madam, is Luo Qinghe still in Fangfu now?" ”

"Why did you suddenly remember to ask her?" The second lady was puzzled.

Could it be that Onyx is pregnant, and the girl who filled the house has not yet come, this old pervert has taken a fancy to Luo Qinghe again?

The second master explained with a smile: "Isn't it just that when I went to the banquet yesterday, Shopkeeper Yang told me about Luo Qinghe's affairs in the court that day, and said that if Luo Qinghe was still in the Fang family, he would ask me to transfer some silver for him." ”

"Why did you put money back on her?" The second lady didn't understand it even more.

The second old man smiled and said: "Now it is rumored that Luo Qinghe's girl is filial to her parents and has a strong temperament, and she was deliberately retaliated by the fat head king to bear the Shen family's debt of 800 silver, and she originally had a marriage contract with the Shen family, but Shen Gongzi's parents disliked the poor and loved the rich, so they made a fuss, and since this matter made a big deal at Mrs. Shen's birthday banquet, the people are very sympathetic and want to contribute to her family's debt repayment." ”

When the second lady heard this, she smiled very proudly, and said disdainfully: "What can you do for her?" If it weren't for her charming look, how could Boss Wang think about her? ”

"Say what?" The second master was suddenly unhappy: "Everyone knows that Luo Qinghe is kind and upright, and she is a very good girl, but you just say it so ugly!" Could it be that he is so jealous of others because of his mediocre appearance? ”

"You!" Hearing her husband say this, the second lady had a stalk in her throat, put down her chopsticks and just wanted to quarrel, but she heard the second master say to himself: "In a while, you will go and bring fifteen pieces of silver to Luo Qinghe, and now many people outside have paid money, if we don't come out, it will inevitably fall into the mouth." ”

As soon as the second lady heard this, the fire had not disappeared, and now she said that she would send silver to her family, which made her even more dizzy.

At this time, the housekeeper at the door hurriedly came over and said, "Yueniang just led Luo Qinghe to the old lady's courtyard. ”

"Really?" The second master's eyes lit up, and he said with a thorn in his words: "Since the people are here, there is no need to bother the lady, I will send them the silver later!" ”
