Kong Shi was busy responding.

Anyway, she stayed in the Pingguo Mansion.

Kong wiped his tears and choked up: "Master, Hua'er's matter, I am a woman, and I don't know how to investigate." The master is Hua'er's father, and he must be the master of the ......"

Second Master Ruan waved his hand and asked Kong to go back.

He's in a mess right now.

Kong wiped away his tears and retreated.

Second Master Ruan lay back, leaning in the armchair, his eyes looking at the dust on the roof a little blankly.

Second Master Ruan's heart was very disorganized at this time.

He thought he would be angry when he heard that his young son's death was man-made and not accidental.

Actually, there is anger, but more often than not, panic.

Because, in the subconscious mind of Second Master Ruan, if the young son was really killed by someone, there was only one person who had the motive and ability to kill the young son-

His wife, An Yue'er.

Therefore, Second Master Ruan should have called Ruan Xiong now and asked in detail about the situation at that time, but he didn't move.

He didn't dare.

Second Master Ruan let out a painful whimper in his throat.

……

Recently, the wind and snow have been a little lighter than in previous days.

Fang Hanniang wanted to go out of the city to take a look at Zhuangzi outside, but the old lady of Pingguo was worried about Fang Hanniang's safety, and her attitude was very resolute, and she didn't let go of anything. Fang Hanniang couldn't, so she had to honestly nest in the wing room for cat winter.

At the beginning, when the heavy snow at the crown princess's birthday banquet came without warning, Fang Hanniang took precautions and asked the steward of Zhuangzi outside the city to help her buy a batch of firewood, charcoal, and grain.

For this matter, she even left five silver tickets of 10,000 taels at the steward's side.

The treasury on the Zhuangzi is full.

Later, there was another snowstorm later, Fang Hanniang made a quick decision, and asked the steward to buy a batch of firewood, charcoal, and cotton, this time, Zhuangzi's rows of warehouses were full.

When she sent Bai Ling away a few days ago, she wrote a note to Bai Ling and asked the steward in Zhuangzi outside the city to buy more firewood, charcoal, and grain. If there is no place to put it, you can use waterproof damp cloth to lay the bottom and temporarily build some wooden sheds.

I don't know how the steward is doing right now.

The snow was piling up more and more outside, and she sometimes listened to her uncle gossip with her grandmother, and occasionally mentioned that the court had quarreled over this once-in-a-century snowfall.

Even faintly, there was a rumor outside.

It is said that the heavy snowfall began at the birthday banquet of the crown princess, and it rained for a whole day without warning, and then it began again a few days later...... In the rumors, it is almost clear that the crown princess's immorality led to the catastrophe from the sky.

At first, many people regarded this as a harem anecdote and didn't take it to heart at all.

Later, slowly, someone tasted the taste.

No matter how immoral a harem lady is, it won't lead to natural and man-made disasters?

Isn't this a metaphorical insinuation of the crown prince?!

The officials of the imperial court, especially the people of the prince's family, have been in a lot of chaos these days, and they are all there to investigate the source of this rumor.

But because this rumor originated in the market, especially in teahouses and restaurants, where idlers gather and chew their tongues and gossip, it is difficult to find out the rumors.

Throughout history, since ancient times, natural disasters have mostly followed the word man-made disasters.

Fang Hanniang understands this because she is a modern person and once stood on the shoulders of history to look at the historical changes of thousands of years.

Although Daiei is not a dynasty recorded in history books, most of the laws and rules of history are the same.

Natural disasters sometimes do not have the greatest impact, but man-made disasters caused by improper handling after natural disasters are the most problematic.

She understands, but others don't necessarily understand.

Perhaps, those officials are now figuring out who is spreading rumors about the prince, and they are flawless and take care of the others.

Fang Hanniang shook her head, she had already written a note about her opinion and asked Yu Qi to pass it on to Ji Jinxing, she was confined to the back house at the moment, and her movements were not free, and she was afraid that she was powerless in other things.

Fang Hanniang propped her head and sighed.

Just as he was thinking about it, the green warbler came from the main house.

The green warbler had a smile on her face, and there was a sense of joy from the corners of her eyes to the tips of her eyebrows. She blessed Fang Hanniang: "Girl, the third young master has a letter from there." ”

Fang Hanniang suddenly came to her senses, her body straightened up a lot, and she was surprised: "Is the letter from my grandmother?" ”

Her third cousin came with a letter, which means that Zhiniang and Brother Huai have news.

Lu Ying smiled and nodded: "As soon as the old lady received the letter, she hadn't opened it yet, so she hurriedly urged the slave and maid to come over and report to the girl." Now I'm waiting for the girl to go over and open the letter with the girl. ”

Fang Hanniang got up from the soft collapse slightly, Xiaoya was waiting on the side, seeing this, she hurriedly took Fang Hanniang's cloak over, Fang Hanniang was dressed in a homely style, and hurriedly went to the main hall of Fuyuan Hall.

The old lady of Pingguo was sitting in the banquet room, her face was full of smiles, she was holding a letter in her hand, looking left and right, very happy.

When the old lady saw Fang Hanniang follow the green warbler in, the smile on her face became stronger, and she happily shouted to Fang Hanniang: "Nannan, come and see, your third cousin has a letter." ”

Fang Hanniang saw that the seal on the letter had not been opened, and she smiled as she walked towards the old lady: "Grandmother, you read the letter first, and it will be the same when I come back to read it together." ”

The old lady of Pingguo said angrily: "It's the same everywhere." ”

She couldn't wait to open the letter, took out a thin piece of letter paper from it, and before she could read it, she was a little unhappy: "Your third cousin, don't you know what the family is worried about?" Just writing this little bit, I still want to know about my two good grandchildren! While chattering, he handed the letter to Fang Hanniang, "Nan, you come to read, this person, he is old, he can't read the words clearly, and it is very blurry." ”

Fang Hanniang took the letter with a smile, glanced at it quickly, and the smile on her face became thicker and thicker. She happily read the letter to the old lady of Pingguo, and the old lady's dissatisfaction also flew out of the clouds, and said in surprise: "Oops! So, you'll be back tomorrow? ”

The letter said that they were all right, but they were moving forward while clearing the road, so they had delayed some efforts in the past few days, and now they had reached a place more than a hundred miles outside the city.

Fang Hanniang said happily: "Yes, grandmother, tomorrow you will be able to see the third cousin, Zhiniang and Brother Huai!" ”

She hadn't seen her younger siblings for a long time, and her heart was also tight. Now that I can see each other tomorrow, the depression in my heart is swept away, and the whole person is refreshed and refreshed.

Mrs. Pingguo said "Hi" and waved her hand: "What I want to see is my good grandson...... Your third cousin, who is happy to see him! Every time, he is angry half to death, a lot of age, and he doesn't get married. A few years ago, I couldn't talk about him for his mother's filial piety, but now the filial piety period is obviously out, so he pretended to be stupid and didn't get married...... "The old lady of Pingguo babbled and complained about Ruan Chuxiao, and when she thought of Fang Zhiniang and Fang Minghuai, her mood changed again, and she turned her head and urged Lu Ying to check again, and cleaned up Fang Zhiniang and Fang Minghuai's room.

In fact, Fang Zhiniang's room has long been cleaned up, and the old lady opened her own private library and picked out a lot of good things to decorate.

These days, almost every day, the old lady of Pingguo will ask the green warbler to check the room, and the green warbler will take the trouble to check it over and over again.

This time, the green warbler smiled and took the order again.

The old lady of Pingguo was in a good mood all day, at noon, she was too old to have a good appetite, and she used a bowl of rice, and Fang Hanniang directly rewarded the cook in the small kitchen with ten taels of silver, and the people who served in the house added a month's monthly money.

The room was so happy that everyone in the room was smiling, and the cook in the small kitchen came to thank her in person.

These ten taels of silver are worth her monthly money for several months.

The old lady of Pingguo was very moved in her heart, and thought about it, although she often loves to give Fang Hanniang some treasures and jewelry on weekdays, but after all, they are all things, and there is not much cash, although sometimes they will give Fang Hanniang a subsidy or two, but the old lady always feels that her girl should spend more money.

Seeing Fang Hanniang's reward now, the old lady suddenly remembered this incident and said, "Nannan...... I'll give you some more moonsilver. ”

Since Fang Hanniang entered the Pingguo Mansion, she also has moon silver.

Every month, her sister-in-law would give her eighty taels of silver a month.

Several nephews and nieces have a monthly income of only twenty taels of silver.

Fang Hanniang is not stingy, the people around her serve well, she will always give rewards, and she will pay out of her own pocket to buy some festival clothes or something for her subordinates during the festival.

If you really come according to the monthly money, I'm afraid there won't be a few left in your hand.

The old lady thought about giving Fang Hanniang another subsidy in terms of money. She was reluctant to let her girl be wronged.

Fang Hanniang didn't use it.

She knew that she, a cousin girl who fell from the sky, wanted to serve the public in a short time, in addition to the old lady's favor, the fastest and most labor-saving way was to use the money to smash it.

She's a very rich person.

Then smash it with money.

can use money to smash the days comfortably, Fang Hanniang is willing.

The old lady didn't know how much money Fang Hanniang had spent in the past few days when she entered the mansion.

Sometimes when I think of this incident, I give Fang Hanniang a subsidy of one or two silver coins.

The old lady is also a person who does not worry about money, and she never wants her delicate granddaughter to worry about money.

When Fang Hanniang heard that the old lady wanted to subsidize her monthly money, she hurriedly smiled and excused herself: "Grandmother, you don't know, your granddaughter is very capable, and she also has an industry." ”

When the old lady heard this, she was very happy: "That relationship is good, and my grandmother will rely on my good maid to support her." ”

Fang Hanniang patted her chest and responded with a very arrogant look.

The old lady laughed.

That being said, but after Fang Hanniang waited for the old lady to lie down, she went back to her room, and Lu Ying then sent a box to Fang Hanniang according to the old lady's instructions.

The box contains two silver tickets of 10,000 taels, and there are also some gold leaves made of pure gold, small goldfish, small bells, etc., which are convenient for Fang Hanniang to appreciate people or something.

Fang Hanniang looked at this box full of things, unable to speak for a long time.
