Chapter 504: New Troubles
It's just that Fang Hanniang didn't expect that the troublesome matter of Huaishui Bofu was over, but new troubles followed.
Seven days after Ruan Chubai's death, he was about to go out of the funeral.
Because although Ruan Chubai has entered the genealogy and discussed the preface, when he died, after all, he had not yet reached the crown, and it was regarded as an untimely death. Although Second Mrs. An wanted to let her son go in style, Second Master Ruan stopped her.
"There are still elders in the family, if Bai'er's posthumous affairs are so wantonly operated, it will hinder the elders' longevity." Second Master Ruan's pain of losing his son has not yet dissipated, and he still has to cheer up and persuade Second Mrs. An.
Second Mrs. An was a little unconscious because of the death of her only son, and the white-haired person sent the black-haired person, she couldn't listen to the persuasion of the second master Ruan, and stubbornly wanted to give her son a beautiful job and let him go decently.
"Bai'er is the most filial, if you want him to not even feel at ease when he leaves, you can do it!"
In the end, Mrs. An still tearfully compromised.
It's not that she cares about the body of the old lady of Pingguo, the only thing she cares about is her son.
Now that her son is gone, the only thing that supports her is to send her son to the ancestral grave.
However, on the day of the funeral, although there was no big event, because it was the death of the young master of the Pingguo Mansion, there were still countless people who came to the Pingguo Mansion to mourn, and the maids in the mansion were so busy that their feet barely touched the ground.
Even Fang Hanniang, who is a cousin, was busy in the mourning hall to help thank the guests who came to mourn.
However, probably because Fang Hanniang is about to marry His Royal Highness King Jin, the guests who come and go will give her a little face and say a word or two to her. Although there are white things, it is not appropriate to talk about them, but everyone comes to greet them with a word or two, and Fang Hanniang is also tired enough.
Qiu Zhu was so distressed that her girl died, and she couldn't wait to come forward to entertain her girl.
Anyway, Fang Hanniang is just a teenage girl.
Just when Fang Hanniang was so tired that she couldn't stand steadily, a maid hurriedly came over, saluted Fang Hanniang with a nervous expression, and first said a few words to Qiuzhu.
Qiu Zhu's expression changed.
Today was too busy, and it almost caused chaos on the side of the Fang family in the southwest corner.
This is no small matter.
Although Qiu Zhu felt sorry for their girl, she also knew that the Fang family, as their girl's family, had to deal with this matter with Fang Hanniang.
Qiu Zhu had no choice but to step forward and whisper to Fang Hanniang: "Girl, there is some trouble over there in the Fang family." ”
Fang Hanniang's expression was grim, and although her face was full of fatigue, she also cheered up.
"Let's go, let's see." Fang Hanniang made a decisive decision, briefly instructed the matters on the side of the mourning hall, and then hurriedly went.
It was the Fang Tian clan who caused the trouble.
When Fang Hanniang passed, Fang Tian's clan and Fang Xiangyu had already been strictly guarded.
In the courtyard, a shrewd mother-in-law saw Fang Hanniang coming, hurriedly went up, and said cautiously: "Cousin girl......"
Fang Hanniang looked around.
The mother-in-law and maid who were swept by Fang Hanniang hurriedly lowered their heads.
Qiu Zhu said with a cold face: "The girl said before, if something goes wrong, you will bear the consequences." ”
Qiu Zhu is the big girl next to Fang Hanniang, what she said is Fang Hanniang's attitude at the moment, which scared those maids and women to kneel down one by one.
The shrewd mother-in-law had a bitter face, kowtowed, and said, "Girl, it's not that the old slave shirked it, it's really that the house has been busy to death these days, and the old lady Fang didn't know when she rushed out......"
even shouted that Fang Hanniang was an unfilial girl, imprisoned her grandparents, and abused her aunt and third uncle.
If it weren't for the quick reaction of a few mothers-in-law who came to clean up in the garden and pressed down and gaged the Fang Tian clan, this word might have spread among the guests who came to mourn.
Qiu Zhu glanced at Fang Hanniang, who was silent, and somewhat understood their girl's temperament.
Qiu Zhu said: "Anyway, let you take a good look at people, and you let people run out, this is your fault." It stands to reason that everyone should be fined ten boards......"
When the maids and daughters-in-law heard that they were going to be beaten, their bitter faces seemed to be soaked in coptis juice, but they made mistakes first, but they didn't dare to ask for mercy.
Qiu Zhu glanced at Fang Hanniang's face and coughed: "Nian is busy in the mansion recently, let's write down these ten boards for the time being, you should be on an errand." When the time comes, if it is appropriate, it will be considered that the merit has been overdone; If anything goes wrong, double the punishment! Do you have any comments? ”
When the maids and daughters-in-law heard this, there was still a chance to make up for it, their eyes lit up, and they kowtowed again and again, saying "I don't dare".
After beating these maids, Qiu Zhu asked Fang Hanniang in a low voice: "Girl, do you think it's okay for me to deal with it like this?" ”
Because the Fang family is Fang Hanniang's direct blood relatives no matter what, Qiu Zhu knows that if her girl is not handled well, she may be chewed by people outside, so Qiu Zhu, who has never been good at playing with authority, can be regarded as a substitute for their girl this time.
Fang Hanniang naturally knew that Qiu Zhu was doing this for her own good, she nodded and said with a smile: "Sister Qiu Zhu is very proper. ”
Qiu Zhu couldn't help but smile a little embarrassed.
In fact, these days, some ill-intentioned people have also come to her, and it means that the big girl next to the cousin is you, but it seems that the cousin seems to be more important to the green warbler.
When the cousin girl marries into the palace, to the extent that the old lady loves the cousin, she will give the green warbler as a dowry maid to the cousin, and the big girl in the cousin's room may fall on whom.
If you change to someone else, you will be confused by such provocation. But Qiuzhu grew up with the green warbler since she was a child, and when she was in the old lady's room, the relationship between the two was very harmonious. In addition, Qiuzhu's temperament is not the kind of person who fights for three or four, but she thinks that if the green warbler comes, it will be a good thing for them to join forces to help the cousin take care of the house.
Fang Hanniang pushed open the door.
Fang Tian's and Fang Xiangyu were directly tied up, with a rag still blocked in their mouths, their faces were flushed, and their eyes stared at Fang Hanniang like their age.
The shrewd-looking mother-in-law followed behind and carefully explained, "Because these two have been yelling and screaming......"
Fang Hanniang didn't speak, just glanced at Qiuzhu with a smile.
Qiu Zhu understood, took out a purse from her sleeve, which contained a piece of silver naked, and she handed it to the woman: "Mama has worked hard." ”
The mother-in-law was flattered and took it, and almost immediately understood the thoughts of their cousin - it seems that their cousin girl is not only not waiting to see this family, it should be very unwelcome!
The mother-in-law was a little more attentive, nodded and smiled: "Thank you for the reward." ”
Fang Hanniang glanced at Fang Tian and Fang Xiangyu a few times, took a deep breath, and then said to the mother-in-law: "Mama go down, take care of this courtyard later." ”
"Hey, yes, the old slave just doesn't want this life, and he has to take care of the girl." The mother-in-law nodded and retreated, and before withdrawing, she closed the door very considerately.
The windows in the room are translucent glass, which allows for good lighting, but does not look dark.
Fang Hanniang sat on the chair next to her, condescendingly looking at Fang Tian and Fang Xiangyu who were thrown on the ground like sacks.
"Mmmmmm Fang Tian's eyes were red and his face was hideous, and he looked at Fang Hanniang, and his mouth made a scream, thinking that it was definitely not a good word.
On the contrary, it was Fang Xiangyu, probably knowing that in their current form, they couldn't resist Fang Hanniang at all, so they stopped a little, just a pair of eyes, and still looked at Fang Hanniang with unwilling resentment.
Fang Hanniang's fingers tapped lightly on the tabletop, and there was a mocking look on her face: "Fang Tian, Fang Xiangyu, are you stupid?" Do you really think that if things get bigger, I'm going to give in? ”
Fang Tian's clan and Fang Xiangyu were both suffocated.
Fang Hanniang snorted, looking at Fang Tian's Fang Xiangyu's eyes, full of sarcasm: "Speaking of which, after all these years, you should also know what kind of character I am, why do I still bump into me once or twice without knowing whether to live or die?" ”
Fang Tian seemed to be a little annoyed, his eyes were even more hideous, and he stared at Fang Hanniang deadly.
Fang Hanniang knew that people who were interested in profit said this, which was actually tantamount to playing the piano to a cow.
It's just that, looking at Fang Tian's appearance of not knowing whether to live or die, Fang Hanniang still wanted to sneer: "I really don't know who gave you this bad idea, making trouble at the funeral?" …… Do you know that the people who came to mourn were all powerful and high-ranking families in Beijing? …… If you really encounter something unreasonable, you will be killed on the spot, and no one will pursue it! ”
Of course, this is Fang Hanniang's bluffing of Fang Tian's clan, and the bullying is that Fang Tian's clan has never seen those "powerful people" who are only legendary in the playbook, and he is born with a heart of awe and fear.
Sure enough, Fang Tian's eyes were originally hideous, and her eyes were full of surprise and fear, and she glanced at Fang Xiangyu beside her with some surprise.
Fang Hanniang immediately understood, this idea was obviously given by Fang Xiangyu.
Her aunt was a cold and selfish person before, but now it seems that even her own mother can be used.
Fang Hanniang sneered.
Fang Xiangyu's eyes were a little evasive, and she didn't dare to look directly at Fang Tian's clan.
At that time, she gave Fang Tian's idea and told Fang Tian's clan that if the guards here were lax, it must be that something big happened in the mansion or some distinguished guests were visiting, and when the time came, they would rush out without their lives and make themselves miserable...... It's just a little skin injury.
The latter suggestion that asked Fang Tian to pretend to commit suicide, Fang Tian was still a little hesitant. No, before they could adopt it, they were twisted by the maid in the garden.
As soon as Fang Tian remembered that Fang Xiangyu had let herself "reluctant to let the child trap the wolf, your grandmother was forced to die by her granddaughter, others will definitely believe it, and Fang Hanniang will not be able to obediently listen to us at that time", Fang Xiangyu became more and more suspicious in his heart, did Fang Xiangyu want to hold Fang Hanniang, or did he really not take her life seriously, and used her life as a stepping stone?
The seeds of doubt were planted in his heart, and the more Fang Tian looked at Fang Xiangyu, the more suspicious he became.
