Chapter 50: Temptation
Chen Liqing had a very difficult meal, and when he ran away after the meal, he met his sister Chen Lifang at the door.
Chen Lifang hummed a little song, sat in the carriage and dangled her legs, looking in a very good mood.
Compared with the two, Chen Liqing only felt that he was extremely miserable.
"Girls' families, what kind of body does it become to shake their legs." Chen Liqing said listlessly about his sister and sat on the other side of the carriage.
Chen Lifang didn't see her brother's decadence at all, and came over to chat with Chen Liqing about how happy she was today, how cute Han Niang's younger brothers and sisters were, and how delicious Han Niang's cooking was, which made Chen Liqing more and more desperate.
He really wants to kill his sister!
Seeing his brother's dejected appearance, Chen Lifang finally had a little conscience, and said with a smile: "Big brother, is your stinky temper that can't bear to lose face causing trouble for you again?" I said a long time ago, wouldn't it be easy for you to bring Ah Dong? ”
Ah Dong is Chen Liqing's personal servant, he speaks straightforwardly, his mouth is very poisonous, and he often blocks some troubles for Chen Liqing. However, it often makes the scene very embarrassing, and when Chen Liqing goes out for recreation, he doesn't like to take him with him.
Chen Liqing glanced at his sister listlessly: "It's easy to say, why don't you bring your Caixia." ”
Chen Lifang stuck out her tongue, Caixia was her personal maid, a little girl who spoke softly and gently. But Caixia is so crying, she always makes a fuss and is startled when she encounters something, and she sheds tears with a few heavy words. When Chen Lifang sneaks out to play, she doesn't like to serve Caixia with her, which makes her more comfortable.
However, as soon as my sister said this, Chen Liqing made a decision, next time she came to the Fang family, she must bring Ah Dong with her, and she must completely dispel the idea of the Fang family.
What he likes is not Ai Niang, there has been only Han Niang alone from the beginning.
……
Seeing Chen Liqing away, Fang Tian helped Fang Xiangyu with concern and sent her back to the house.
Fang Tian looked at Fang Xiangyu's stomach and felt very comfortable in his heart: "Although the month is small now, it is not yet pregnant, but after a few months, it will not be able to cover it when the time comes." You should hurry up and urge that Lu Gongzi to marry you. ”
Fang Xiangyu was still thinking about Chen Liqing, and when she heard her mother talking to her about lifelong events, her mind finally came back: "That's how it should be." Brother Chang and I have made an appointment to meet every time, counting the days, and it is time to meet again tomorrow. ”
When Fang Tian heard that his daughter had a private meeting with a man under his nose according to the charter, he was angry, and then thought that if it wasn't for this, where could his daughter find such a wishful husband? He put down his anger and replaced it with a smiling face: "My son, then you will let Lu Gongzi come to the house tomorrow, this bride price or something, you always have to talk about it." ”
Fang Xiangyu touched her stomach and said with a confident smile: "Mother, don't worry, I have Brother Chang's child in my belly, he is grateful for my hard work, and he will definitely give a large amount of dowry money." ”
Fang Tian was even happier when she heard this, and she patted Fang Xiangyu's arm proudly: "When Ai Niang and Young Master Chen's matter is completed, I will be relieved." ”
Fang Xiangyu flattened her mouth, her heart was uncomfortably tight, and she hummed: "Mother, it's not me who said, Young Master Chen obviously likes me, Ai Niang's little girl may not be able to enter Young Master Chen's eyes." ”
Fang Tian was shocked: "What, it's you he has a crush on!?" ”
Seeing that her mother was so shocked, Fang Xiangyu was a little unhappy, and snorted: "Otherwise, why did Young Master Chen pay for us, he could have called Brother Chang to pay." ”
Fang Tian thought about it carefully, and what his daughter said also made some sense. As women, it is a little inconvenient for them to rashly go to the man's house to ask for money, but they don't have this scruple when they pass a word between friends. What's more, Young Master Chen worked tirelessly to send their family home.
The more Fang Tian thought about it, the more he felt that this was the case.
After all, in her opinion, although the baby granddaughter is good, it is still slightly deficient compared with the daughter-in-law.
"What can I do about this?" Fang Tian hurriedly stood up and turned around, "You are going to marry into the Lu family as the eldest young grandmother, what if Young Master Chen has to die for you." ”
Fang Xiangyu was proud in her heart, but she persuaded Fang Tian with a light smile on her face: "Mother, don't worry, didn't Young Master Chen say that he will come back to visit in a few days?" When the time comes, I will persuade him. I think he'll listen to my advice. ”
Fang Tian sighed, "That's it. She looked at Fang Xiangyu, full of pride, "My son is really good." ”
Fang Xiangyu smiled and said nothing.
……
Fang Hanniang coaxed her younger brothers and sisters to take a nap, thinking of the handkerchief that caused a lot of trouble, and finally felt strange in her heart. When she went to Aunt Liu's house a few days ago, she also went to Wang Xinghua's house, and Xinghua's mother said that she went to her grandmother's house. At that time, I wanted to ask when I would come back, but Xinghua's mother used to speak in a weird way, saying "Han girl is very busy, and she has time to care about my apricot blossom." If you get rich in the future, don't forget my apricot blossoms", inexplicably sour, Fang Hanniang was too lazy to endure her temperament, so she simply left directly.
So Fang Hanniang decided to go to the sixth uncle's house, and by the way, go to Wang Xinghua's house to ask what the situation was with the square handkerchief.
Fang Hanniang rummaged through some of the things given by Mrs. Ling's wife last time, and picked out a red cloth printed with peach blossom patterns, which was just suitable for cutting some new clothes for Sister Ru Niang, and Fang Hanniang went to the sixth uncle's house with the cloth.
Fang Hanniang came unfortunately, Fang Liu's uncle and Aunt Fang were not at home, so they went to the county to cultivate seeds.
Fang Runiang opened the door and saw that Fang Hanniang was holding a whole piece of cloth, and the cloth was so good-looking that she was a little stunned.
Fang Hanniang's hands were sore, and she didn't see Fang Runiang outside, she smiled and stuffed directly into Fang Runiang's arms, and kept shaking her hands and said, "Hey, Sister Runiang, hold it for you, this cloth will tear a few clothes for you." ”
Before Fang Runiang could say anything, Xinghuaniang's voice sounded on the other side of the fence: "Yo, Han girl has come to see your sixth uncle and sixth aunt again?" The cloth you're holding in your hand is so beautiful. Pity my apricot blossom doesn't have such a good sister, can get such a good cloth~"
These sour words made Fang Runiang's face turn red all of a sudden. Fang Hanniang held Fang Runiang's somewhat trembling arm, and then raised her voice and said to Xinghua Niang: "Aunt Xinghua said this, if you have a sick niece who is dying, Aunt Xinghua has such a temperament, you must not hurry up and drive your niece out, so as not to attract bad luck in your house." Naturally, there will be no immortal niece to repay the favor. Naturally, Sister Xinghua doesn't have a good sister like me to send cloth~"
Fang Hanniang's words were crisp and sweet, and she returned what Xinghuaniang had said before to her. After speaking, she no longer looked at Xinghuaniang's long face, and pulled Fang Runiang's temperament: "Sister Runiang, don't pay attention to her, let's go to the house." ”
Fang Hanniang even dares to face her own grandmother, where would she be afraid of Xinghua and her mother?!
Fang Runiang nodded, hugged the cloth and followed Fang Hanniang into the house.
After entering the house, Fang Runiang pushed the cloth into Fang Hanniang's arms: "Han Niang, you can bring the cloth back, I have enough clothes." ”
Fang Hanniang dodged to the side as a scoundrel, and was already sitting on the kang: "Sister Ru Niang, don't give it to me, look at those peach blossoms on that cloth, how beautiful they are, I'm still a little too early to wear them." ”
Peach Blossom alluded to marriage, Fang Runiang understood Fang Hanniang's meaning, her face was a little red, and she said, "Then you can keep it for a few years and then make clothes." ”
"Oh, Sister Ru Niang, you can take it." Fang Hanniang couldn't, seeing Zhengxiang sleeping on Xiaominghe on the kang, she didn't dare to shout loudly, and squeezed her eyebrows at Fang Runiang, "The color of this cloth will be dark after a few years, what a pity." Sister Ru Niang, I remember who fed me porridge spoonful by spoon when I was sick, and I'm annoyed if you want to see me like this again. ”
Fang Runiang's face was flushed, she had no way to take Fang Hanniang. Fang Hanniang likes to see the young lady look so shy in front of her, and she is full of energy to be coquettish to Fang Runiang.
Although Fang Hanniang's actual age is much older than Fang Runiang, the days are not short, Fang Hanniang is used to being a faceless and skinless person, and she has long regarded herself as a ten-year-old Lori like her appearance, and she has no pressure to be coquettish to Fang Runiang.
This probably has something to do with the serious illness she gave her when she was first crossed, Fang Runiang gave her sister-like warmth.
Ah, there are beautiful young ladies and lovely brothers and sisters, and she is worth it......
Fang Hanniang was satisfied.
Uncle Fang Liu's family specially cleaned up a thatched hut to serve as a warehouse for plum blossom soap, stacking boxes of plum blossom soap, and letting it saponify there. Fang Hanniang went to take a look, there was no big problem, so she said goodbye to Fang Runiang and left satisfied.
Before leaving, Fang Hanniang lay on the fence between the two courtyards and shouted: "Sister Xinghua, are you at home?" ”
Xinghua's mother was washing clothes in the yard, and when she heard this, she shook her hand angrily and spilled a lot of water beads, and splashed a few drops on Fang Hanniang's face: "What are you shouting, our Xinghua is not as good as your sister." ”
Fang Hanniang wiped her face with her sleeve, and she was not annoyed.
Wang Xinghua came out of the house with her younger brother in her arms, her eyes were dark and bright, she looked radiant, and when she saw that it was Fang Hanniang, she grinned, put her four-year-old brother on the ground, patted his buttocks, and motioned him to go to the house to play by himself.
Fang Hanniang was also very happy when she saw Wang Xinghua at home: "Sister Xinghua, let's go out to talk." ”
Wang Xinghua responded and said to her mother: "Mother, I'll go out for a while." ”
Xinghua's mother raised her voice dissatisfiedly: "If you know the price every day, you know how to go out!" You're all about to get married, and you don't stay honest at home! ”
Wang Xinghua bit her lower lip, she didn't know what to think, two blushes appeared on her slightly dark face, and she was so angry that Xinghua Niang slapped the water hard, splashing a large splash: "Little wave hoof, who will show you a wave before you get married!" ”
Wang Xinghua was taken aback, and hurriedly dropped the sentence "Mother, I will be back in a while", and ran out of the yard amid her mother's scolding.
Fang Hanniang also hurriedly followed.
When she arrived at a secluded place, Wang Xinghua took a few breaths, stroked her chest, and glanced at Fang Hanniang: "Say, what's the matter?" ”
Fang Hanniang was a little dumbfounded, Wang Xinghua actually had a hint of charm in her eyes just now?
This, is this still Sister Xinghua, a simple rural girl who cried a few days ago because she was about to marry Li Haozi!
Fang Hanniang rubbed her face, thinking that she must have been mistaken just now.
"Well, that's right. Sister Xinghua, didn't I borrow you a handkerchief to wipe your tears before? Fang Hanniang considered the wording, so as not to embarrass Wang Xinghua, "Because I embroidered something on that handkerchief, can you give it back to me now?" ”
Fang Hanniang said while staring at Wang Xinghua's face.
