Ping Guogong's brows tightened.

He knew that what the second brother said was right, if their mother knew about this, in order to protect the reputation of the two nieces, even if she was unwilling, she would agree to completely divide the house.

But, must things have come to this point where nothing has turned around......

There was a long silence in the study.

And at this moment, the little maid whispered outside the study: "Grandpa Guo, the cousin girl asks to see you." ”

Ping Guogong and Second Master Ruan were stunned.

Ping Guogong already knew that his niece was by no means an ordinary woman. He paused, then said to the door, "Please come in." ”

Second Master Ruan took a deep breath, calmed down, and sat back in his chair.

Ping Guogong glanced at Second Master Ruan: "Pay attention, don't lose face in front of your niece." ”

Second Master Ruan was silent.

These days, so many things have happened in their second room, and he, the second uncle, should have lost his image in front of Fang Hanniang, his niece.

After a while, the little maid diligently helped Fang Hanniang push open the door of the study, and Fang Hanniang politely nodded to the little maid and walked into the study.

Seeing that Second Master Ruan was also there, Fang Hanniang was not surprised at all, and bowed generously to the two elders: "Hanniang has seen the eldest uncle, the second uncle." ”

Ping Guogong raised his hand and signaled that Fang Hanniang didn't need to be polite.

"It's such a cold day, and it's so late, what's the matter with Han Niang coming over?" Tong Fangcai's father-in-law with a stern face didn't seem to be a person, Pingguo Gong smiled kindly at Fang Hanniang and asked.

Fang Hanniang pursed her lips slightly: "Then I won't hide it from the two uncles, just go straight to the point...... The two uncles, I don't know about the Kong family, can you discuss a countermeasure? ”

Fang Hanniang's question was so direct, it was inevitable that Second Master Ruan would be a little embarrassed and unable to answer.

Ping Guogong was very peaceful, and he shook his head: "All the methods at the moment, it can be predicted that there will be little effect. ”

Fang Hanniang's eyes were as bright as the stars in the sky, and her voice was crisp and crisp: "Hanniang has a way, I wonder if the two uncles can listen to Hanniang?" ……”

……

When Fang Hanniang returned to Fuyuan Hall from the outer courtyard, the night was already dark, and the wind mixed with snow particles smashed straight into people's faces.

Ping Guogong was not worried that Fang Hanniang would go back alone, and Tete called two little maids to send Fang Hanniang, who came alone, back to the inner house.

One is holding a lantern in front of Fang Hanniang, and the other is holding an umbrella in the back for Fang Hanniang.

Fang Hanniang walked slowly into the courtyard along the verandah.

The two little maids with lanterns and umbrellas sent Fang Hanniang to the door of the room, and then bent their knees back.

The maids in Fang Hanniang's house hurriedly greeted her, and Qiu Zhu was in front.

She went to run errands for Fang Hanniang out of the city in the afternoon, and she had just come back.

Qiu Zhu personally picked the curtain for Fang Hanniang, knowing that this was not the time to talk about that matter, she only whispered to the situation in the house, and said, "The two little masters are here." ”

The "two little masters" in Qiuzhu's words naturally refer to Fang Zhiniang and Fang Minghuai.

When Fang Hanniang entered, Fang Minghuai had already taken off his shoes, only wore a middle coat, and fell asleep lying on the soft collapse of the compartment.

Fang Zhiniang gently covered Fang Minghuai with a brocade quilt, stayed by Fang Minghuai's side, and took a book to look at there.

Seeing Fang Hanniang come in, Fang Zhiniang was very happy, put down the book, put on her sleeping shoes, and ran towards Fang Hanniang, tired of being in Fang Hanniang's arms: "Eldest sister." ”

Fang Hanniang wiped Fang Zhiniang's soft hair, went to see if Fang Minghuai was sleeping well, and said softly with some distress: "You two too, why don't you go back to sleep?" ”

Fang Zhiniang gently shook Fang Hanniang's hand, her voice was soft and glutinous, with the coquettishness of a little girl: "Sister, you went out after eating, we are a little worried about you." ”

Fang Hanniang lightly nodded Fang Zhiniang's forehead, and said bitterly: "No matter how worried you are about me, you can't ignore your body." ”

Fang Zhiniang stuck out her tongue slightly.

Fang Hanniang sighed, looked at Minghuai's sleeping red little face below, and turned her head to Qiuzhu on the side with a headache: "Let him sleep in this compartment tonight, let the maid on duty keep watch for the night, don't break the brazier in the compartment, be careful...... People are asleep, and then move around, in case it is not good to catch a cold. ”

It stands to reason that men and women are not at the same table at the age of seven, even if they are sisters and brothers, because Fang Hanniang is already a slim girl, eight-year-old Fang Minghuai cannot be regarded as a child, and the two of them can't stay in the same room to sleep.

Even if one is the master bedroom and the other is a cubicle, it will not work, I am afraid it will be criticized.

But Qiuzhu didn't seem to know about it, in her opinion, with the proper behavior of their girl, if there was something wrong, she would not be specifically instructed to do it.

So Qiu Zhu didn't say anything, nodded, and immediately went to tell this matter, and it must be done properly.

Fang Hanniang took Fang Zhiniang's hand and went to the inner room.

Actually, Fang Zhiniang happened to be here, and she happened to have something to talk to Fang Zhiniang.

Entering the inner room, Fang Zhiniang helped Fang Zhiniang loosen the hairpin ring, spread the bun, and draped it on her head.

Fang Hanniang looked at Fang Zhiniang's hair scattered on her shoulders, looking like a clear water out of hibiscus and naturally carved and decorated, and couldn't help but sigh: "Although my Zhiniang is young, she already has a bit of natural beauty in her appearance...... Really, I don't know who burned high incense for eight lifetimes later, and was able to marry my Zhiniang. ”

Fang Zhiniang saw that Fang Hanniang was not in shape, and even began to joke about her future marriage, she couldn't help blushing, and said, "Sister, you talk about me again, I, I will ignore you." ”

Fang Hanniang hurriedly hugged Fang Zhiniang's shoulder, apologized for a long time, and coaxed the little girl to forget what happened to Fang Cai, her face faded, and she showed a sweet smile again, which was the end.

The two sisters took off their middle clothes, wore only foot socks, and lay side by side on the carved bed, talking face to face some whispers since parting.

The two talked for a while, and then Fang Hanniang made up her mind, and opened her mouth with Fang Zhiniang: "...... Zhiniang, do you remember what I promised you before? It was a promise to you that you would use your money to buy some clothes for the victims. ”

When Fang Zhiniang heard this, she nodded a little nervously: "I remember." What's wrong, big sister...... Has something changed? …… Isn't it that I'm causing trouble for my eldest sister? ……”

Before Fang Hanniang could say anything, Fang Zhiniang had already fallen into self-blame.

She knew that this part of the capital was different from the places she had been in before, and that there were some strange rules here. Some of them she had seen from books, and some of them she had heard from her husband.

One of them is that in the capital, there was a wealthy family who opened a warehouse to release grain in the disaster year, but was imprisoned by the emperor of the previous dynasty, saying that he sold his reputation and sacrificed the face of the capital to complete his personal reputation.

Of course, that emperor was a famous faint monarch in the history of the previous dynasty, and at that time, Meng Fuzi told Fang Zhiniang this story not to warn her that the rules in Beijing were big, but to let her know that all aspects should be considered in doing things, so that nothing could be lost.

Right now, Zhi Niang somehow remembered the story that Meng Fuzi had told her before.

Fang Zhiniang's eyes were full of tears, and she looked at Fang Hanniang: "Eldest sister, it's Zhiniang who didn't think about it. If this matter is tricky and causes trouble to the family, then the eldest sister should treat Zhiniang as if she didn't say it......"

When Fang Hanniang saw Fang Zhiniang's appearance, her heart was really hurting. Where was she willing to let Fang Zhiniang shed half a tear, and her eyes were red: "Zhiniang, don't be sad." Things are not what you think. ”

Fang Zhiniang blinked and froze.

A tear was still in the corner of Fang Zhiniang's eyes.

She looked at Fang Hanniang a little blankly.

Fang Hanniang's heart was softened into a pool of water by the appearance of her young sister again. She simply explained the matter to Fang Zhiniang: "...... Because of some recent encounters in the government, the thing you think about buying clothes for the victims of the disaster should not only be done now, but also a special one...... I'm telling you this because the government is in trouble right now, and it needs this matter to resolve it...... The eldest sister thinks you have a good heart, but in the end, the eldest sister wants to use your kindness to do such impure things......"

Fang Hanniang bit her lip.

When good deeds are stained with utilitarianism......

Fang Zhiniang listened to Fang Hanniang quietly, revealing a big sweet smile: "Eldest sister, you scared me to death." I thought I was causing trouble at home...... I'm glad that my eldest sister has decided to make this a big deal...... As long as she can help others and won't cause trouble to our family, no matter what purpose the eldest sister is doing this, Zhiniang will be proud of the eldest sister. After all, if you look at the results, the eldest sister really helped those people. ”

Fang Hanniang silently touched her sister's hair.

She knew that her sister was a kind-hearted little person.

Fang Hanniang smiled slightly.

She hugged Fang Zhiniang hard and said softly, "Sleep...... Don't be lazy and come together to help. ”

"Hmm!" Fang Zhiniang was happy and nodded vigorously.

The next day, when the sky was still bright, Fang Hanniang had already woken up.

She got off the bed lightly, stepped on her sleeping shoes, and covered Fang Zhiniang with a brocade quilt.

It's Xiaoya who is keeping vigil today. She heard the movement, came over from the Luohan bed outside, and saw that it was Fang Hanniang who woke up, and said with a smile: "The girl got up really early today." ”

Fang Hanniang showed a faint smile: "...... Because there is something to do today. ”

She casually took a coat and put it on her body, didn't let Xiaoya light up all the lights in the room, only held a glass lamp and went to the study.

Fang Hanniang sat at the desk in the study, writing something in the deletion and deletion.

Although Xiaoya is a third-class maid in the Pingguo Mansion, she usually learns to read and write with the first-class maid sisters on the top, and she can recognize a few words roughly.

But when she waited for the pen and ink, she did not dare to look at the paper.

Because, the expression of their cousin girl is really calm and a little scary......
