Chapter Ninety-Four: Falling from the Tower
This girl...... Fang Xiuting's face suddenly became ugly, and she opened her mouth to say a few words, but in an instant, she swallowed back the words as if she had thought of something, and only said in a low voice: "Grandmother said that she will remember the kindness of Zhang Tianshi." "It's not that my mother is reluctant to give up those face-saving efforts, but my grandmother won't let me!
"What? Want to admit it? Hongdou sneered, "Are you happy to spend the eldest lady's money?" Now I am willing to visit the cloth village and buy new fabrics...... "Hongdou looked at the cloth held by the two maids behind her, and became even more unhappy, the fabric on the second floor is much better than the one on the first floor, in vain they save money here, but these two bad things are there with the money of the eldest lady.
Hongdou snorted, looked them up and down, and looked disgusted: "Don't look at what virtue you have, no matter how beautiful things you are, you can't compare to a finger of my young lady." ”
Does this girl call her ugly? Fang Xiuting's face changed slightly: "This girl with a broken mouth...... Qiao Ran, you don't care? ”
"My people don't bother you." Qiao Ran's eyes fell on Fang Xiuting and paused, and then looked at the third miss Fang who had a relationship, this third lady's name was Xiuwen, and Xiuting was out of her eyes below, so she stood aside with a smile, and from time to time lowered her head and whispered a few times in Fang Xiuting's ear, although she didn't know what the third lady was talking about, but thinking about it, she was not innocent.
Probably aware of Qiao Ran's gaze, Fang Xiuwen smiled, as if the person who called 'Miss Qiao' affectionately when he saw her that day was not a person: "Miss Qiao is right, my aunt marrying into the Fang family is a member of the Fang family, and the dowry she brought with her is a list, and no one can be greedy, but now that the aunt's family is not in Jinling, the elders of the family will help take care of the dowry." ”
Hongdou was stunned: The Fang family is so kind?
Qiao Ran smiled and said: "Of the few shops that my aunt has on hand, there are four on Suzaku Street alone, not to mention the entire Jinling City, aren't the dividends of those shops money?" ”
Fang Xiuwen does look smarter than Fang Xiuting, but it's just some, and those words are just fooling a girl like Hongdou who doesn't understand these things, but she can't fool others. But anyone who has come into contact with these things knows the dividends of the shops on Suzaku Street.
The location of the cloth village is acceptable, and there are many guests, and they have disputes here, which has attracted many guests in the village to look here. The two masters and servants, one is bold and rampant, faceless and skinless, and dares to say it very much, and the other is not easy to fool with yin and yang on the side, and if it goes on like this, it is they who will suffer. Don't you hear a lot of people pointing at them?
It's really grandmother's intention not to even do face-saving work, but grandmother doesn't leave the house, and when the time comes, it's not them who are poked in the backbone and scolded aren't they juniors walking outside? Is it possible not to go out for the rest of your life?
Fang Xiuwen's face changed slightly, he pulled Fang Xiuting's sleeve, shook his head at her, the two looked at Qiao Ran, snorted and walked out of Buzhuang.
"It's as good as a person," Hongdou looked at the backs of the two of them leaving, and snorted coldly, "I used to hear those people in Zhuangzi say that the second lady and the third lady don't deal with each other, it turns out that they are all lies." They all gang up to take advantage of the eldest lady! ”
"yes!" Qiao Ran looked at the backs of Fang Xiuting and Fang Xiuwen leaving, and nodded: "The second lady and the third lady I saw that day really don't deal with each other. At least Second Lady Fang didn't even bother to do face-saving work, and directly asked the Third Lady to get out in front of people, which shows that this pair of concubines has a deep grudge.
can make these two people look like one person, Qiao Ran muttered: "Is it that Old Madam Fang?" ”
The speaker is unintentional, the listener is intentional, Fang Xiuting's sentence "grandmother", Qiao Ran did not omit.
She didn't have much impression of the old lady Fang in her memory, because this old lady had long been careless, and she only ate fasting and reciting Buddha in the Buddha hall all day long, and stayed out of everything else. When the aunt was there, the Fang family was headed by the aunt, and when the aunt was not there, the second lady and the third lady were in charge of the house together.
As the saying goes, one mountain does not tolerate two tigers, and the concubines who are already incompatible are home together, each with their own thoughts, and they say goodbye to each other, and it is strange that the relationship can be good. The situation she saw last time also coincided with her guess, but as soon as Mrs. Fang came forward, she obeyed the two rooms.
It seems that this old lady Fang is not a good stubble. Eating fasting and chanting Buddha? Some of them are indeed good people who eat fasting and reciting Buddha, but she has also seen many people who have blood on their hands and eat fasting and recite Buddha for peace of mind. It can be seen that eating fasting and reciting Buddha or something also depends on the person.
Out of Buzhuang, seeing that it was almost noon, and the meal was approaching, they were ready to find a nearby restaurant to eat and then go to buy some other things.
Before he had gone far, he saw a carriage parked next to the restaurant in front of him, the carriage was mediocre, not special, at least not as eye-catching as Master Qiao's set of pure gold.
However, Qiao Ran recognized the driver who drove the car, the one who drove the car for her and Second Mrs. Fang that day.
"That's the Fang family's carriage." Qiao Ran said.
Hongdou was startled when he heard this, and his eyes moved from the coachman to the restaurant on the side: "This place looks good......
Qiao Ran smiled and asked, "Why don't you go there for dinner......?"
"No, no, no, let's go to the side restaurant." Hongdou hurriedly stopped him, and then glared at Qiao Shu and Ah Sheng viciously, signaling them not to make trouble. The young lady doesn't know that firewood and rice are expensive, and I'm afraid that the place will be enough for a few of them for half a month's expenses. For now, it's better to save some flowers.
"Let's just go and eat on the other side." Hongdou pointed to a small restaurant directly opposite the restaurant and said, "The slave smells the duck blood vermicelli soup, so let's go there and eat it, miss." ”
The group sat down on the side of the street at the insistence of the red bean.
Although the restaurant is small, the boss's craftsmanship is really good, and when a few people have eaten almost, Hongdou got up to check out, looking at more and more people in the restaurant, Qiao Ran waited outside the restaurant with Qiao Shu and Ah Sheng.
Only then did he walk out of the restaurant, and there was a "bang", and a foot away, people fell to the ground, and blood stars splashed everywhere.
The crowd on the street seemed to freeze for a moment, and after a few moments, screams rang out one after another.
"Someone has fallen from the building!"
Hongdou, who had just finished settling the account, was nervous, and hurriedly ran out of the restaurant, and saw Qiao Ran standing outside the restaurant with Ah Sheng and Qiao Shu, so he breathed a sigh of relief: "Miss, aren't you scared?" ”
There were already many people in front of her, blocked by the human wall, she couldn't see the person who fell from the building, nor could she see the bloody scene, but it didn't mean that she couldn't imagine what the person who fell from the building looked like. Miss shouldn't be frightened! Hongdou looked at Qiao Ran worriedly, but saw that her young lady was looking up at the second floor of the restaurant, motionless, as if she was stupid.
"Miss?" Hongdou grabbed Qiao Ran's arm and shook it.
"I see it." Qiao Ran looked at the second floor of the restaurant and didn't look away, "I saw someone poking his head out of that room." ”
An exclamation from the crowd rang out at this time.
"It's Mr. Huang Zijiu!"
"It was Mr. Huang Zijiu who fell from the building!"
This is really a big deal.
Qiao Ran exhaled a heavy breath of turbidity: "Ah Sheng, go to the government to report to the official!" ”
