Chapter 14 Fang Xiaoqiao was given a heavy responsibility
Fang Yuli was about to cry in the restaurant, and she couldn't care about anything, she told the waiter in the store to go to Fang's Mansion so that she could bring the money.
She stubbornly asked, "How much?" β
The waiter politely replied, "An ocean." β
It's a pit, just such a piece of broken beef, it's worth a month's worth of food! Of course, for Fang Yuli, it was also her week's expenses.
When the waiter came to the door, Fang Xiaoqiao had already returned to the Fang family's main house.
When the waiter asked the porter for money, the porter's face was ugly.
The porter walked into the house and announced, his face ugly and dead.
Thinking that he has a big family, this young lady doesn't even bring any money when she goes out.
Fang Yuli must know, don't be angry, she came out with Fang Xiaoqiao, Fang Xiaoqiao's rich leg, if she doesn't squeeze and squeeze, she is not happy. Of course, even if you bring money, you can't kick an ocean, right?
The porter then beckoned the waiter into the house with a dark face.
The one who entered the house to entertain was the steward of the Fang family. This steward is a son of a family and is more loyal, but on weekdays, he only listens to Mrs. Fang's words, and he doesn't even pay attention to the patriarch.
"Tired? How many coins is it? My eldest lady may have left in a hurry, and probably the girl in her hand was not around, so she didn't bring any money. Steward Fang only explained calmly, but muttered in his heart, this good person doesn't bring money, it's not her Miss Fang's temperament.
"This is the bill for my store." The waiter served the bill in a kind voice.
An ocean? Is this eating gold? This ocean is the sum of a month's worth for a white family! When I met a budget-conscious family, I had a small half quarter of food expenses.
"Wait a minute, I'll go in and get some money and come out." Steward Fang responded politely, took the bill and went to Mrs. Fang's house.
Mrs. Fang's face turned green when she saw this bill.
"Bastard thing! Is all the money flowing from the mountains and rivers? By her nonsense! It's really a mountain of gold and silver at home! It turned out that Mrs. Fang was not very satisfied with this Fang Yuli, she usually ignored the performance of the small family and made Mrs. Fang very dissatisfied, and this time there was another scene, which made Mrs. Fang even more unaccustomed for a while.
"You give the money to the family first, and then deduct it from her monthly silver!" Mrs. Fang said, and then asked, "Isn't that Fang Xiaoqiao also following today?" What's going on? You call her in and I'll ask for a question. β
After Steward Fang sent the people away, he called Fang Xiaoqiao into the house again.
"Ask Grandma Ann." Fang Xiaoqiao also listened to it outside, and was thinking about what to say next.
"You should have heard about your cousin, it's really a misfortune in the family, so you can watch the joke." Mrs. Fang said unhappily on her face.
"Auntie and grandmother, in fact, there is no light on our faces about this matter, where are there any jokes to see, and I feel very guilty. Is there any difficulty in the Fang family's main house? It's good that our side can help. Fang Xiaoqiao thought, instead of the other party opening her mouth, she couldn't refuse when the time came, so it was better for her to have a good reputation if she opened her mouth now.
"Where can you subsidize our master's family?" Mrs. Fang was very pleasant to hear this, although she knew that if the master opened his mouth, they would be able to agree, but it was more acceptable to take the initiative to say it than to ask for it.
"It's not in the way, when I was a child, the main family also helped a lot." Fang Xiaoqiao didn't say this to disgust them.
In fact, the patriarch's vein is still good, although there was not much help at that time, at least it didn't fall into the ground, and it wasn't like a blood-sucking locust. On the contrary, the next generation of the patriarch's brothers wanted to occupy their family property one by one, so they wanted to pass them over.
"Pretty girl, to be honest, we have been talking to people in the Cloud Media Hall for a long time, and there are still some thin fields at home, which is actually enough." Mrs. Fang seemed to have given the truth, "You also know that your sister Li'er's mind is not in the cloud media hall, you are flexible, help the old lady think of a rut, and it will be good to lead her on the right path." β
Co-authored this is "Teach people to fish, it's better to teach people to fish", isn't it? Fang Xiaoqiao rolled her eyes and was about to open her mouth to refuse.
Mrs. Fang spoke again: "You just need to guide her, if she really doesn't become a climate, I will send her to marry and hand over this cloud media hall to someone else." β
Fang Xiaoqiao was amused, how many times did this Fang Yuli do it?
"But this cloud media hall always has to be inherited by someone." Fang Xiaoqiao was embarrassed, "I don't understand these things after all, isn't it a little difficult for you to let me guide her?" β
"You've been with your brother for a long time, and the twists and turns in the business shouldn't be worse than him." Mrs. Fang looked at her kindly, "The day you first came, I didn't look down on you, but later, I found that I looked down on Yu Li even more after comparison. You say, they are all the descendants of our family, how can one be more unsuccessful than the other? Fang Yuli and his brother, as soon as he left the province, the shadow disappeared. He said that he was going to work hard in other cities, but there has been no news in the past few years. I'm really worried day by day. You said that someone of your eldest brother's age should have talked about marriage a long time ago, but as a result, no one can see any shadow, and I have wanted to open it all these years. β
"Then what if I want to inherit the Cloud Media Hall?" Fang Xiaoqiao asked with squinted eyes.
Mrs. Fang was taken aback at first and looked at her in shock. Then, she finally sighed deeply: "The Cloud Media Hall has not yet passed on the tradition to the side lineage, but if you do it well, I can make an exception. β
"Grandma and grandma are at ease, I'm joking with you, if I really want to inherit the Cloud Media Hall, I have to practice my own mouth to help you, right? Look at my mouth, it's very clumsy. Fang Xiaoqiao was so happy when she said this, she couldn't help laughing for a while.
"Okay, okay, you help me guide your sister first." Mrs. Fang glared at her, and said in her heart, this ghost girl. But as soon as she thought about it, how good it would be if this was really her own granddaughter, if she really gave her the burden of Yun Media Hall in the future, those stubborn people in the family would definitely not admit it, so she passed Fang Xiaoqiao to her own name and made them speechless.
Fang Xiaoqiao knew that she was being entrusted with a major task right now, but she didn't have the confidence to guide that Fang Yuli well.
Β·
When Fang Yuli came back, he was very angry, and he complained about Fang Xiaoqiao again for no reason.
The reason is that Wang Chunlai turned back and said, "Bai Ye was angry with Fang Xiaoqiao, so he was so angry that he didn't pay, didn't he still think about this in his heart, and thought about asking me to come over and pay the account." β
With this statement, Fang Yuli has a little admiration for Bai Yusong, in the end, he is a person who does what he says, and Fang Xiaoqiao is so annoying.
However, she doesn't plan to return this extra yuan ocean, she wants it anyway, and it is estimated that she will be criticized if she returns it at this time.
When she got home, sure enough, Mrs. Fang caught her and gave her a good meal.
"Fang Yuli, your wings are getting tougher now, and you can afford a meal from a big yuan!" Mrs. Fang didn't make any detours and went straight to the point of criticism.
"Grandma, in fact, this meal is not something I want to go to, it was Fang Xiaoqiao who took me there." She already complained about this Fang Xiaoqiao in her heart, so she naturally confessed to her at this time.
"How much do you pay a month, how much do you give a month?" Mrs. Fang said sharply.
That's right, Fang Xiaoqiao has eight oceans a month, and she is only four.
"Isn't this just a luxury?" Fang Yuli was immediately unhappy and pulled his face.
"Are you extravagant? Do you have a dad who can make money, or do you own a pawnshop at home? In total, there are so many things to make a living, and you still don't want to go? I'm going to ask, this cloud media hall, are you willing to ask for it? If you don't want it, your unclesβyour second uncle, your third uncle, there are always some cousins in the family who want to go to the Fa. Mrs. Fang said, took a sip of tea lightly, and put it back with a "pop".
This move frightened Fang Yuli.
What's wrong?
Anxious?
Fang Yuli was silent, only raised his eyes slightly tremblingly, observing Mrs. Fang's expression.
It seems to be a bit self-aware. Mrs. Fang smiled with satisfaction, these days, which heart is still positive, who can be closer than the person who has grown up by her side since childhood?
If you didn't really see that she was not angry, could you intimidate her like this?
"Tomorrow, you can hand me a post and ask this family to come to the door. I will take you and Fang Xiaoqiao with me. Since she came to my cloud media hall and is a child of my family, I will give you a beating, and I will not wronged her. "Mrs. Fang's attitude of drinking tea is different, and she is in a much better mood than just now. Next, it depends on whether Fang Xiaoqiao is willing to help! It's not that one matchmaker in Cloud Media Hall is enough, multiple helpers, naturally multiple ways. Anyway, she came over, and she didn't have anything serious to do.
However, the next day was the day when Fang Yuli went to the chess tournament, Fang Yuli naturally did not take the matter of the cloud media hall first, and definitely went to participate in the chess tournament, after all, it was ten oceans, in case of luck.
Here, Fang Xiaoqiao was inexplicably handed a post, which was handed over by Fang Yuli, but the other party had a better attitude, saying that he didn't have time to go, so he had to ask her to help deliver it first.
Fang Xiaoqiao sent Cui Zhu to hand the post to the door, and waited for someone to come to the door.
Sure enough, people came over not long after receiving the post. After all, it was introduced by Yun Media Hall, so it is naturally more cautious than the introduction of ordinary people.
The matchmaker is introduced here, and naturally he also inquired about all the young ladies and sons of all the families. And the portraits of these people are also those who are specially invited to paint them when they are of marriageable age.
At this time, it is not uncommon to get married at the age of thirteen or fourteen. Although it is already the Republic of China, the age of marriage is still very early, and the status of women is still very bad.
Those traditional young ladies of the family, unless they have been educated in foreign schools such as Fang Xiaoqiao and others, under normal circumstances, the ladies of large families do not go out.
The person who came to the door today looked dignified.
"Who are you?" When Fang Xiaoqiao saw the visitor, the first thing she did was to confirm his identity.
Of course it's that person, otherwise, how can he come to the door without a post? This cloud media hall is not just anyone can enter. But politeness is still important.
"Under the surname Zhong, there is a single name of Jin, what is the name of this young lady?" That Zhong Jin saluted, looking her up and down here.
Although Fang Xiaoqiao didn't care about those false courtesies, she was still quite unhappy to be looked at like this.
"My surname is Fang." This means that you can call me Miss Fang.
"I've seen Miss Fang." The man looked at her vigorously, and from his face, his expression was very obscene.
"Mr. Zhong, I asked you to come here today because you came to ask us to talk about the matchmaking a few days ago." Fang Xiaoqiao frowned, but still said politely.
"It's the matchmaker who is begging." The man stared straight at Fang Xiaoqiao.
"Here are some portraits and basic information about the girl, please take a look at them." Fang Xiaoqiao only thinks that he is doing business, and the other party is a guest, so let him pick up the goods.
Speaking of which, Fang Xiaoqiao is really unhappy in her heart, why only men pick them, can't women also come to the door to pick them?
