Chapter IV: Antecedents and Consequences

Originally, Jian Yan and Fang Mojiao had no intersection, but because of that dream, Fang Mojiao couldn't help but pay attention to him. In the dream, he became her second husband, although the two had the name of husband and wife, and had no feelings, but he had provided for her for more than ten years.

Thinking that she was rescued by him when she was lonely, and let her take his place as his wife and get a good death, Fang Mojiao still felt a little grateful to Jian Yan. In this life, she doesn't plan to follow the old path of her dreams, so she won't marry Jian Yan again.

His situation in the Jian family is not good, and Aunt Du's mother, Mrs. Du, is sick, and this should be the time when she needs money the most. After returning to her house, Fang Mojiao wrapped a few small denomination silver tickets and some broken silver in lotus, and asked Baixi to secretly deliver them to Jian Yan.

After more than half an hour, Baixi came back, and said angrily: "Girl, the slave handed over the purse to Young Master Jian according to your wishes, but Young Master Jian refused to ask for it, and said that the girl should be self-respecting, and men and women should not kiss each other." ”

Hearing this, Fang Mojiao laughed angrily, it was she who thought about it, she had nothing to do with Jian Yan, and suddenly asked someone to send a sum of money, and it was normal for Jian Yan to be vigilant. She put away her purse and said to Baixi: "I know, don't tell anyone else about this, not even the green yin next to the big sister." ”

Baixi nodded, and then wondered, "Why did the girl send silver money to Young Master Jian?" ”

Fang Mojiao didn't want to explain the reason to her, so she smiled and didn't say anything, so Baixi didn't ask anymore.

Although the money was not sent, Fang Mojiao always remembered this matter in her heart. If I am not mistaken, Mrs. Du's condition has become more and more serious in recent days, and if there is no money for treatment, she will not be able to last long.

The girls of the Jane family are all about the same age, and they will study with Mr. on weekdays. Fang Moyu and Fang Moyu also went to the Liu family to study when they were in the capital, but Fang Moyu was going home to get married, and Fang Moyu didn't want to go to the Liu family alone, so she went back to the Fang family together. When they came to Jane's house, they began to pick up books again and study with the girls of Jane's house.

The girls in the Jane family are younger, and the pace of learning is also slower. The homework assigned by the master was quickly completed by the Fang sisters, and after the master checked it, he allowed them to leave early.

Coming out of the lecture hall, Fang Mojiao asked the eldest sister to go back first, she still had some things to deal with. Fang Moyu was worried, but when she thought that Jian Mansion was her cousin's foreign home, she was very safe, so she only told her to go back early.

Fang Moyu responded, and walked in the opposite direction with Baixi to Fang Moyu.

She was going not somewhere else, but Jian Yan's residence. Jian Yan was dragged down by Aunt Du and could only live in a small courtyard not far from the next person's house. When Fang Mojiao got closer, she found that it was a small courtyard, but it was actually a dilapidated house surrounded by a few fences, which was a world of difference compared to the rest of Jian's Mansion.

Through the memories in the dream, Fang Mojiao knew that Jian Yan should still be copying books at this time, which was a private job he secretly received from outside, in order to save money for Mrs. Du's treatment. However, his little money can only be regarded as a drop in the bucket for the seriously ill Mrs. Du.

Fang Mojiao asked Baixi to stay outside and entered Jian Yan's residence by herself. Hearing the sound of pushing the door, Jian Yan quickly hid the books and rice paper on the table, Fang Mojiao saw that he was so fast and skillful, and knew that he had done this many times.

Fang Mojiao's figure appeared at the door, and Jian Yan stared at her vigilantly, with a hint of scrutiny on her thin and pale face. Fang Mojiao walked in with a smile, "What was Cousin Yan doing before, why was he so panicked?" ”

Jian Yan stared at her coldly, "What do I do to you." After speaking, he added a sentence later, "I'm not your cousin, don't mess around." ”

Fang Mojiao was stunned when she heard this, although Jian Yan in her dream often looked cold, she would never speak to her in such a tone.

"You're my uncle's son, and you're younger than me, so it's not my cousin." Fang Mojiao looked at him, "I know what you're doing, don't worry, I won't talk about it." ”

Seeing his suspicious look, she continued: "I didn't have any other meaning to come today, I know that you are in urgent need of money now, so I came to help you. ”

Hearing her mention the matter of silver, Jian Yan thought of a maid who sent a purse two days ago, and said that it was for herself. If you are not mistaken, it must be the meaning of the person in front of you.

Before the age of ten, Jian Yan was the most favored concubine in Jian Mansion, and after the age of ten, Jian Yan's situation suddenly fell to the bottom. The masters of the palace ignore him, and the minions will also change their tricks to bully him. In just four years, he has been full of warmth and coldness, except for his crazy biological mother Aunt Du and maternal grandmother Mrs. Du, he will not believe anyone's kindness.

The woman in front of him who claimed to be her cousin, he knew that she was the daughter of an official family from the capital, and she had never crossed paths with him, why would she kindly take out money to help him?

He had doubts in his heart, and his words brought it out. Fang Mojiao smiled when she heard this: "I didn't help you for anything, if you really feel uneasy, then let me do a good deed every day." ”

Jian Yan was stunned, Fang Mojiao suddenly leaned into his ear and whispered: "You are now a hidden dragon in the abyss, in a few years you will soar to the sky, and you will definitely have a bright future at that time." ”

After speaking, Fang Mojiao quickly stuffed the purse containing the silver ticket and broken silver into his hand, "You take these, hurry up and ask the old man for a doctor, don't wait until you lose it to know that you regret it." ”

Fang Mojiao still remembers that once Jian Yan was drunk, and with red eyes, she talked about the fact that Mrs. Du was seriously ill and had no money to treat her death when she was young, and her face was not only sad, but also remorseful, so Fang Mojiao persuaded him not to lose the opportunity to treat his relatives because of his momentary anger.

Jian Yan held the purse that still had a woman's warm breath, and felt that it seemed to weigh a thousand catties. Obviously, he really wanted to return the purse, but the phrase "don't regret it until you lose it" kept echoing in his ears.

He clutched his purse tightly, and the thin fourteen-year-old boy silently swore in his heart that no matter what Fang Mojiao's purpose was, he would definitely repay him with today's kindness.

Fang Mojiao, who had a matter on her mind, was in a very happy mood, and after returning to her residence, the smile on her face did not disappear. Fang Moyu was very surprised and asked her why she was so happy. Fang Mojiao smiled and said nothing, and Baixi on the side said: "Our girl has done a good deed, that's why she is so happy." ”

Fang Moyu listened to it and said with a smile: "It turns out that I have done good deeds, and the second sister should also call me, so that I can also get some blessings." ”

Fang Mojiao knew that her cousin was joking, so she laughed with her for a few words, and suddenly remembered that there seemed to be a letter from the family in the capital, so she mentioned it in passing. Fang Moyu asked Lu Yin to take out the letters, "These are all for you, you didn't come back before, and I will help you collect them when your aunt sent someone to send them." ”

Fang Mojiao picked up the letter and walked to the next room, saying as she walked, "Don't bother the big sister, I'll go back to read the letter." ”

Fang Mojiao received a total of four letters, one from her father, one from her mother, and from Brother Fang and Sister-in-law Fang, and the last one was from her friend Gu Yanhua.

The father's letters are very thin, they are nothing more than some words of concern, the eldest brother and sister-in-law are similar, and the mother's letters are the thickest, in addition to caring about her food, clothing, housing and transportation, he also mentioned Zheng Yu, the cousin of the second aunt Da Jane's family, in the letter.

Jane said that Zheng Yu was going to come to Jiangnan on a business trip, and she would stay for a while, and Aunt Jian learned that Fang Moyu was also in Jiangnan, so she asked Fang Moyu to match the two more. After reading her mother's relay, Fang Mojiao was surprised for a long time, but she didn't expect that after experiencing the divorce, the second aunt still wanted to marry the eldest sister for Cousin Yu.

However, she is still very willing to be this middleman, compared with Guo Yuan, although Cousin Yu is not as handsome as him, he has a very gentle temperament and has always treated people with sincerity. Compared with Mrs. Guo, the second aunt is a well-deserved good mother-in-law. The second aunt's eldest son, Cousin Jin, has been married to his wife for three years and has not given birth, and the second aunt has never forced her daughter-in-law, let alone made a move to stuff people into her son's room.

If the marriage between the eldest sister and Cousin Yu really came to fruition, Fang Mojiao felt that the eldest sister would definitely live happily in the Zheng family.

After reading her mother's letter, Fang Mojiao finally opened Gu Yanhua's letter. Gu Yanhua said two things in her heart, one was that she had already married Xuan Pingbo's young son, and the other was about the Yun family.

Gu Yanhua was born in a princely family, and the youngest son of Xuan Pingbo, who is also a nobleman, can be regarded as a good match, and it is common sense for them to marry. As for the Yun family, things are much more interesting.
