The marriage between the Fan family and the Zhang family has become a foregone conclusion, after Zhang Juzheng's family entered Beijing, Zhang Siwei and Shen Shixing came forward to act as matchmakers and run for the marriage of Fan Jin and Zhang Shunqing. After the matter was agreed, the gifts from the Zhang family were never broken, which was not only the sincerity of the Zhang family, but also a demonstration of the gap between the two families. No matter how hard Fan's mother tries to learn to put on a decent appearance like an old lady, when she meets those people in the Zhang family or those officials in the Beijing Division, she will inevitably show timidity everywhere.

Mrs. Li has been here twice and has given a lot of gifts, although Mother Fan doesn't know that she is the cousin of the current Queen Mother, but when she saw the honor guard leading the horse, plus the eunuchs leading the way in front, she was already so frightened that she couldn't even speak.

Every time the Zhang family sends something, Xia He is responsible for running inside and out, no accident, this girl who is in a hurry is destined to be a marrying girl, and she wants to take power, she is very familiar with the Fan family, and she is not seen in front of Fan's mother. Zhang Shunqing is the first time to enter the door of Fan's house, after all, she has not officially married, she cares about her identity, it is normal not to come, at least Fan's mother does not have the courage to pick on her. In fact, for the Fan family, she didn't come or it was better.

As soon as they heard the news that the daughter of the Prime Minister's Mansion came to the door in person, Liang Pandi and Qian Caiyin panicked, they were just arranging for the Zheng family to take things seriously, but now they didn't know what to do. On the one hand, they beckoned the servants to line up, and on the other hand, two women hurriedly came to the door to greet each other.

Qian Caiyin knelt down and saluted more naturally, while Liang Pandi was a little stiff, not knowing what etiquette he should use to see Zhang Shunqing. Because she is older than Fan Jin, and she used to be a woman of Fan Tong, she and Fan Jin have never gone through formal procedures, but just live together. This kind of thing doesn't matter in the countryside, no one dares to provoke Master Fan with this matter, but in Beijing, especially in front of Fan Jin's future wife, Liang Pandi's identity is not easy to put on the table.

She peeked at the door, only to see Xia He carefully supporting a woman towards her. Dressed in a snow-white fox fur coat and a hood of the same color, she looks like a jade carving beauty in the snow. She doesn't walk fast, but every step is perfect, showing the demeanor of a wealthy daughter. Liang Pandi was originally a person who refused to admit defeat in his personality, and even after knowing about Fan Jin and Zhang Shunqing, he secretly felt that although this woman's family was high, she might not be as good as herself in other aspects. After all, she knows how obsessed Jin Zai is with her body.

When she really faced this future lady, she realized how big the gap between the two was, even if she judged herself, she had to admit that this woman was far better than herself. Physiognomy, appearance, home...... In any way, she is the most ideal spouse for Jinzai. She imagined in her mind that in such a snowy place, Fan Jin walked side by side with her, and then replaced the woman in the picture with herself, Liang Pandi found that from some point on, Jin Zai's footsteps had left her far behind, and she was no longer suitable to walk side by side with him......

Zhang Shunqing had already come to Liang Pandi at this time, looked her up and down a few times, and a smile appeared on her face, "Steward Liang?" I've heard you talk about you, and I know you're his...... Third sister! The two of you are like brothers and sisters, like sisters and brothers, when you were a child, you didn't take care of you less, but it was also difficult for you, it was not easy for a woman's family to do so many things for the Fan family. This is icy and snowy, don't stand outside anymore, pay attention to yourself and freeze yourself, although you have practiced boxing and kicking, but you can't help but cherish your body. Steward Qian, you are the same, you and Steward Liang are both heroes of the Fan family, you don't have to be polite in front of me, hurry up and go to the room to drink a bowl of hot soup to warm up. Although our family must have rules, we must also talk about old feelings, otherwise we will not be happy when we think about it. When we met for the first time, I didn't bring anything to give it to me, Xia He, and rewarded the two housekeepers with four taels of silver each. The subordinates are ready, and 30,000 catties of coal will be transported in a while, and you will help unload the truck. Tonight, each person will be rewarded with three catties of meat, and everyone will let go of their bellies and eat. ”

Hearing that sound of Steward Liang, Liang Pandi's heart instantly froze, this bone-chilling chill was more hurtful than the cold wind in the north, she only felt that the cold rising from her heart instantly walked all over her body, making her whole person like an ice sculpture of wood there, and two lines of tears froze on her face at some point. When Qian Caiyin pulled her to the room, this martial arts woman no longer knew how to walk, and Mu Mudi moved with Qian Caiyin, only repeating in her heart: Butler...... I'm just a housekeeper......

Led by Xia He, Zhang Shunqing walked all the way into the upper room, but Fan's mother, who had already learned the news, was waiting there with the support of her two mothers-in-law. Looking at this fairy-like daughter-in-law, Fan's mother was full of laugh lines on her face, her lips moved a few times, but she didn't know what to say, and her words were blocked by the identity of the other party. She didn't know what she said to satisfy the other party, just like she didn't know what to say to make the other person angry, a lot of words rolled in her throat, but she didn't dare to say a word.

"Miss......" Sister Hu, who was supported by the girl, was already very sick, and when she saw this fairy who had never been seen in her life, she was already paralyzed uncontrollably. She didn't dare to ask for any more concubine titles, she just hoped that the eldest lady would not hate her and leave a place for her in this house.

Zhang Shunqing ignored her, but went straight to Fan's mother and took Fan's mother's hand from her mother-in-law.

"It is said that you should change your words when you get married, but now that this matter is already a certainty, I will call you aunt regardless of my face, I don't know if the old man is willing?"

Being looked at by her phoenix eyes, Fan's mother only felt that her soul was going to be out of her body, how dare she say nothing, she couldn't stop nodding her head and couldn't speak. Zhang Shunqing helped her to her seat, "The weather in Beijing has been bad these days, my aunt is a southerner, and she is new to the country, so I am afraid that I can't stand the cold in the north." Although the daughter-in-law has not yet passed the door, she has been destined for three lives with her retreat, and she has long regarded herself as a member of the Fan family in her heart. I heard Xia He say that many people in the family were sick, and the daughter-in-law came to the door in a hurry regardless of shame, just worried about her aunt's health. The daughter-in-law is a junior, and she should meet you old, but you have to fold your daughter-in-law's longevity. ”

"Ah...... Can't...... The women don't dare......"

Mother Fan's mind was a mess, and she actually said such a sentence that did not match her status at all. Zhang Shunqing was unconscious, her face remained unchanged, and she still looked serious.

"In the future, if my aunt does this again, she will complain that her daughter-in-law is not filial, and her daughter-in-law can only kneel down in front of you and ask your aunt to punish her. This time, the daughter-in-law was reckless, just thinking about visiting my aunt, I didn't send someone to say hello in advance, and my aunt blamed me. This is my home, the daughter-in-law has to come and go often, you just sit in the room, and wait for the daughter-in-law to greet you. ”

She looked at the cigarette pouch in Fan's mother's waist, "Auntie smokes dry cigarettes?" Your daughter-in-law will bag cigarettes for you and talk to you. ”

As if she had been electrified, Fan Mu held down the cigarette pouch and said in the official words that she had barely learned: "No...... Don't smoke it...... Don't do it. ”

"I see. Seeing that the aunt was in good health, the daughter-in-law was relieved. The daughter-in-law knew that the Cantonese people couldn't stand the cold in the north, so she specially pulled 30,000 catties of good hard coal from the palace, and set up the coal stove to get rid of it, so that the family could not be frozen. In addition, two famous doctors were invited from Tai Hospital, and they will arrive later to prescribe the pulse of the sick people at home. My aunt still lacks a few good clothes, and if she is frostbitten, she will blame me for not taking care of her. There happens to be a good lynx skin tube sent by Liaodong at home, and I will send it to me tomorrow to warm up my aunt. Although according to the regulations, this lynx skin is not something we can wear, but then again, this rule is always more than human affection, and my aunt wears it at home, as long as she doesn't wear it out, it doesn't matter. ”

Mother Fan actually didn't understand what Zhang Shunqing was saying at all, she only knew that she was going to give herself something, except for nodding and smiling, she didn't know what expression to use. Zhang Shunqing only turned around at this time and saw Sister Hu, and hurriedly stepped forward to pull up Sister Hu, who was still lying on the ground, looked at her with tears on her face, and asked Mother Fan, "Who is this?"

When she knew the identity of the Hu family, Zhang Shunqing took her hand very affectionately and said, "Sister of the Hu family, I heard your name be said by Huisi." The two of you are childhood sweethearts who share weal and woe, and your kindness to retreat, he can't repay it in this life. In the future, our sisters will keep the same husband, and they will have a different surname Jinlan. It's so cold on the ground, you are not allowed to lie on your stomach like that again, it's not good to freeze your body. Seeing you like this is also sick, looking at this head, your hands are hot. I will let the doctor diagnose your pulse first, use the best medicine, and don't be afraid to spend money. ”

She looked at Sister Hu and said, "Your eyes? ”

"Yes...... It was an illness when I was a child. Sister Hu lowered her head and replied softly. Her heart was very excited, especially when she heard the sentence of keeping the same husband, which made her feel extremely excited. People seem to be in the clouds, and they can't even feel the pain, doesn't this eldest lady hate herself, and is willing to give herself a name?

I only heard Zhang Shunqing say: "This disease can be cured." I remember that Taiyi Sun of Tai Hospital is the holy hand of ophthalmology, and the third lady of the former Zhang Sima family is also an eye disease, so two eye-catching plasters are fine, and the sister of the Hu family has to look for him this time. ”

Xia He said: "That's not good, Doctor Sun is old, and it's easy not to show people." ”

"Take my name and ask him to give face no matter what, there is no reason not to come out. By the way, my pair of red gold arms will be sent over by you next time, which is my gift to my sister. When the marriage between me and Hui Si is finished, I will hold a banquet for the Hu family's sisters, although it is small, it must also be decent, and it can't just pass the door in such a daze. Our family is a family that talks about the rules, and it is impossible to speak without a name. In the future, the sister will have to spread the branches of the Fan family. ”

Sister Hu was ecstatic when she heard this, and almost regarded Zhang Shunqing as her own relative, but the more Fan's mother listened to it, the more she felt cold, and secretly said in her heart: Such a daughter-in-law has passed the door, and her mother-in-law is afraid that she can't do anything except be a sound worm. Sure enough, the right eyelid has been jumping non-stop these times, and the prime minister's court can afford to climb the Xiaomin.

In the wing room, Zheng Wan pouted and said to Liang Pandi and Qian Caiyin: "I don't like her!" Don't call her sister-in-law! ”

Qian Caiyin hurriedly said: "Be quiet, pay attention to let people hear." There are now many subordinates sent by the Zhang family in the mansion, but they don't dare to talk nonsense. ”

"I'm not afraid of her." Zheng Wan said angrily, "I was very happy, everyone talked and laughed and ate stew, what a cloudy day." As soon as she came, she went to move briquettes, and Liang's sister-in-law was also angry and cried. When my brother comes back, I will sue her and let my brother beat her! It is natural for a man to beat his wife, even the prime minister can't control it. ”

Liang Pandi hugged Zheng Wan in his arms, "Don't talk nonsense, you won't be able to come after people hear about this house." My sister-in-law didn't cry...... I really didn't cry. You are not allowed to sue indiscriminately, your sister-in-law is a good person, and it is also of great benefit to your eldest brother, we can't ruin your brother's future. ”

At this moment, Gu Bai suddenly pushed open the door and came in, and Liang Pandi glared, "What are you doing on the street?" You dare to break into a room of women, believe it or not, the old lady slashed you with a knife! ”

"The proprietress spares her life...... Forgot about it for a while. The matter was too urgent, and a Yangzhou man came outside, saying that he was ordered by his master to come to pay respects. ”

"Didn't you say that no one in the family will see their children?"

"I also said that people can not be seen, and the gift must be given, otherwise it will not be able to be explained. As a result, a prayer note was sent, plus two pigs and ten sheep. ”

"Hit the street, haven't you seen pigs and sheep? Is this something to make a fuss about? ”

"Pigs and sheep have been seen, but there is no such heavy one, the boss will know it by looking at it."

Liang Pandi wiped his tears, jumped down from the kang and followed Gu Bai all the way to the warehouse, Gu Bai said as he walked: "Our people are busy unloading coal, no one pays attention to the matter of this pig and sheep, otherwise it won't be, it's not easy to do." ”

When they came to the warehouse, the pigs and sheep sent by the guests were placed on the ground, and the belly had been cut open with a knife, but what was revealed was not the internal organs, but the full of red gold ingots. There are traces of touchstones on several ingots, which prove to be objects of real gold.

Liang Pandi frowned, "Hit the street...... Bring it to me. ”

Qian Caiyin also rushed over at this time, but stopped Liang Pandi: "Sister Liang, slow down...... It's better for Miss Zhang to see this post. She stepped forward and whispered, "This is not the same as before." ”

"Lose ......" Liang Pandi scolded two swear words in a low voice, and then let Qian Caiyin take the worship post to the upper room, and went back to the wing room to coax Zheng Wan to play tricks. Zhang Shunqing waited until he heard the report, then took the prayer note in his hand and looked at it, with a contemptuous smile on his face.

Yangzhou Song Guofu...... This gift was a day later than the letter of retreat, and it can be regarded as neat and tidy. So many gold ingots, but it is generous enough. , but compared to Feng Shibo's gift, these taels of gold are sent to call flowers? Thinking about it is also, being Shangyuan's parents, but still having to worry about Yangzhou's heart, many things...... But anyway, my father-in-law can't make people look small, right? Spread my words and send these gold to the Huizhou Guild Hall, saying that Song Guofu gave them the money to renovate the guild hall, so that they could thank Song Guofu for his kindness! ”
