Chapter 127: A Sudden Blow
The government? When did their Fang family get into trouble with the people in the official mansion? Third Madam Fang was startled, hurriedly stood up, and was about to go out to have a look.
"Kang Niang, help me up." Old Madam Fang's voice rang out from behind.
Mrs. Fang San's feet paused, as if she remembered something, and suddenly became excited: "Mother, are you going out?" ”
God is pitiful, the old lady has not been out for many years, and today, she is going to come out! Third Madam Fang suddenly became excited: she said that the broom star was so weird, the old lady would not ignore it.
When she accompanied the old lady to the Buddhist hall, Mrs. Fang San was startled, she originally thought that only people from the government were here with the second lady Fang, but she didn't expect that the old lady Fang, who was not at home during the day, was also in the hall with the second master and the third master.
Old lady Fang personally walked over and helped the old lady over and sat down.
This Fang family seems to be quite respectful to this old lady who is not a director. The official who came to deliver the message said a word, and then took out the complaint he had brought.
"This time I came to the Fang family because someone wanted to sue the Fang family." The official said.
Mrs. Fang, who was fiddling with the Buddha beads in her hand, said: "Please say that my family is a good citizen from top to bottom, and we will definitely cooperate with the affairs of the government." ”
After saying this, he closed his eyes, began to play with the Buddhist beads in his hand, and opened his lips to recite the scriptures silently.
I have heard that this old lady Fang who is not a director of the board of directors is devout to worship the Buddha, and now it seems that it is really worthy of her reputation! At this time, I still remember to recite the scriptures. The official responded and handed the complaint to Old Master Fang on the side, and Second Master Fang and Third Master Fang hurriedly came over.
"It's not a big deal," he said, "The Qiao family sued your Fang family because ......"
Before the official finished speaking, Second Master Fang let out a burst of exclamation, his tone was angry and incredulous.
"Dowry, for the dowry of the sister-in-law!"
After Second Master Fang exclaimed, he was furious: "I have never heard of a brother who has his hand stretched out to a sister who has been out of the pavilion for many years, the law of Great Chu clearly stipulates that since this dowry has been taken out of the house, what does it have to do with Qiao Zhengyuan?" ”
"Mother......" Third Lady Fang couldn't help but look at Old Lady Fang, but this "Niang" was suppressed by Second Master Fang's voice. She saw that Old Madam Fang opened her eyes, and the Buddha beads in Fang Cai's hand also stopped.
"The government came to the door just for this?" Old Madam Fang spoke, and there seemed to be some surprise in her tone.
"Mother, how can this be called just for this matter?" Master Fang San couldn't help but say, "This is my sister-in-law's dowry!" ”
This is no small feat! It's his family's money! Without this money, what will happen to the study at home? Relying on those few studies, can you cover the family's expenses for a few days?
As if she hadn't heard his words, Old Madam Fang's expression froze for a moment, and her eyes lowered her eyes to read the scriptures again.
If there is fire in my heart, I naturally can't send it to my mother.
"What reason does he, Qiao Zhengyuan, have to sue our family?" Second Master Fang said angrily, "Sister-in-law's dowry is on the list, who can be greedy?" "Their Fang family is just in custody at the moment, besides, if the sister-in-law doesn't have an accident, won't she also subsidize the family? What is this out of law?
"Master Qiao sued you for being unkind, taking people's money and bullying the niece left by others." The official cha frowned, this kind of short matter in the family is the most headache, if he can, he doesn't want to come, "I have already brought the complaint, and Lord Zhen has also taken over this case, and a few shops and Zhuangzi and other things under the name of Mrs. Fang will be taken care of by the government office, and the words have been brought, so I will retire first." ”
This dowry list was brought by the bride girl, and the mother's family also kept a copy, and the dowry list of the family below went to the capital with Mrs. Fang, and I want to know where the dowry list in the hands of this official came from.
"This Qiao Zhengyuan!" Fang Er's face turned red angrily, "He just sincerely wants to make a stumbling block for my Fang family, does he lack that money?" ”
Of course, there is no shortage, but it is obvious that they are lacking. Therefore, after Mrs. Fang's dowry pampered the Fang family, they suddenly cut off their financial route, and this matter could not be separated for a day, and they couldn't move the money of Mrs. Fang's dowry.
The two old men trembled angrily: just rely on those few studies? No, the study is gone, and it was smashed because of the hairpin banquet before, and it hasn't been repaired now, how can you live this day?
"What he lacks is not money, but fun! Look at our family's bad life, and have fun! Master Fang San said angrily, "I think this Qiao Zhengyuan is...... Hey? Mother? ”
Old Madam Fang stood up suddenly, glanced at Old Madam Fang, and walked out with his support.
The anger of the two lords in the hall, the porcelain that was vented and the two cries of Mrs. Fang San from time to time came, and Mrs. Fang suddenly grabbed the Buddha beads in her hand and shouted "Master".
"Lan Niang." Old Madam Fang supported her, compared to the two sons, although he also had anger on his face, he was obviously much better, he persuaded Old Madam Fang, "Qiao Zhengyuan suddenly became difficult, who would have thought of this?" It's been a long time since these comfortable days, and a few children have lived a hard life, and it's good to hone and hone their minds. ”
"No, not because of this." Old Madam Fang shook her head slowly, "It's because of that mourning star." ”
Is it because of the Dead Star? Old Lady Fang recalled the contents of the complaint and nodded: "That's barely enough!" The reason why Qiao Zhengyuan was troubled was that we were unkind, and took over the dowry of the eldest daughter-in-law, but drove the mourning star out. ”
There were many people in Jinling who knew about this matter at that time, but judging from the attitude of everyone in Jinling City towards that mourning star at that time, they really all applauded.
After all, she is a woman with such a reputation, who is unlucky, and many people even applauded when they mentioned this matter, praising their Fang family for being wise and dumping this mourning star.
But the thoughts of the visitors are the same day by day, from the previous incident she sued Qiao Zhengyuan, the so-called "mourning star", she has already picked it herself. Now that this matter is suddenly mentioned, it is Qiao Zhengyuan who comes out again, and he knows what kind of sensation will be caused in the city.
"She is no longer the name of the broom star, and now that I mention it again, I am afraid that the people will only criticize our family for being unkind and not doing things authentically." Old Lady Fang sighed, "It's just that the law is here, and Qiao Zhengyuan can't do anything to our family." ”
"Because Qiao Zhengyuan just wants to delay, the eldest daughter-in-law has not returned to Jinling for a day, and I can't move her dowry for a day." Old Madam Fang said slowly, "There is going to be a disturbance at home. ”
Poverty leads to trouble. Over the years, relying on the subsidy of the eldest daughter-in-law, the family has long been accustomed to a comfortable life, and after the birth of several children, they have not even lived a hard life, which is troublesome.
"No wonder people say that merchants are treacherous!" Old Lady Fang also understood, "This Qiao Zhengyuan can endure it, he has endured it for so many years, just to give us a blow at this time." ”
"This is really fattening us and then doing it, this Qiao Zhengyuan ......" Old Lady Fang sighed deeply, "I underestimated him." ”
"It's not." Old Madam Fang shook her head, "It's not Qiao Zhengyuan, it's her." ”
