Chapter 6 A Red Line

Fang Mojiao and Zheng Yu did not shy away from others when they spoke, this scene was seen by several girls of the Jian family, and Jian Yao said with a smile: "Cousin Yu and Cousin Yu are quite a good match, one is the son of a mighty general, and the other is the daughter of a servant of the ministry, it's really right." ”

Hearing this, Jian Fang and Jian Yun, who were interested in Zheng Yu, were extremely piercing in their eyes, and Jian Fang pulled the veil fiercely, her face cloudy. Jian Yun sneered and said, "A person who has been divorced, what face does he have to make up in front of Cousin Yu." ”

Jian Yao smiled, "What about being dismissed, can it be that if you are dismissed, can you erase the official position of your uncle's servant?" I advise those whose hearts are higher than the sky and whose lives are thinner than paper to stop dreaming, even if the person who is talking to Cousin Yu is not Cousin Ji, but also a woman with a similar family background as her. ”

After speaking, no matter how annoyed Jian Fang and Jian Yun were, they left proudly with their little follower Jian Fei.

What the sister-in-law said made Jian Fang and Jian Yun feel like a fish in their throats, but they were powerless to refute it, because what Jian Yao said was the truth. But until the last minute, neither of them wanted to give up. Jian Yun turned to look at Jian Fang, "I know your thoughts, we are all the same, why don't we join forces?" ”

Jian Fang stared at her, "Why do you think I will promise you, yes, I and you are both concubines, but I still have a long character on my body, and the eldest daughter is much more valuable than the second daughter." ”

Hearing this, Jian Yun suddenly felt that this eldest sister, who had always been above the top, was a little stupid. In the eyes of the world, the eldest daughter is also a concubine, what does it have to do with your ranking. Everyone is a concubine, how can there be any distinction between high and low.

The more Jian Fang put on a high shelf, the more Jian Yun wanted to cooperate with her. She threw out a favorable condition for Jian Fang, "If you want to marry Cousin Yu, I can help you achieve what you want, but you must promise me that you will find a decent marriage for me after the matter is completed." ”

Jian Fanghu looked at her suspiciously, "Aren't you coaxing me?" You obviously want to marry Cousin Yu, why did you give up this opportunity to me, there shouldn't be any conspiracy in this, right? ”

It seems that the eldest sister has not been stupid enough to get home, and she still knows the motive of doubting her. Jian Yun said: "Although I want to marry Cousin Yu, I also know that it is difficult to do it on my own. You are the eldest daughter of the Jian family, and you will definitely be the first to leave the cabinet at that time, and if Cousin Yu decides to get married in advance, won't the two of us be able to share it. ”

"Since childhood, although we have had many quarrels, we have always shed the same blood, rather than fighting inwardly and cheapening outsiders, it is better to let one of them get it first, and I can also follow it when the time comes."

Hearing what Jian Yun said so much, Jian Fang's heart was a little shaken. But she has been at odds with Jian Yun for a long time, and she really can't make up her mind based on her words. Jian Fang told Jian Yun that she would go back and think about it, and tell her the results tomorrow.

Jian Yun didn't urge her, and responded with a smile. This is the first time that this pair of sisters who have been at odds for many years have dispersed so amicably.

In Liufang Courtyard, Fang Moyu and Fang Moyu selected the gifts brought by Zheng Yu, which were all common gadgets in Jiangnan. Fang Moyu has never been out of the capital since she was a child, and looking at the small objects of Jiangnan specialties, her love is beyond words.

"Big sister, these are all specially bought for us by my cousin, what do you think?" Fang Mojiao asked tentatively.

Fang Moyu was playing with a fan embroidered with butterfly love flowers in her hand, and said: "Your cousin Yu looks at the five big and three coarse, and his mind is quite delicate, and the gadgets he chooses are also very good." ”

Fang Mojiao listened with a proud expression, "Of course, when I was a child, I went to my second aunt's house, and Cousin Jin disliked me as a girl, so I was only willing to play with the eldest brother and the second brother." Only Cousin Yu took me with him, and no matter how troublesome I was, he was very patient. After speaking, he sighed again: "I don't know who the second aunt likes is, and I am so blessed to be able to marry Cousin Yu." ”

"Where do you start?" Fang Moyu became interested and asked, "Why is it blessed to marry him?" ”

Fang Mojiao replied: "When I was ten years old, my second aunt and second uncle had a quarrel because of a concubine, and they almost divorced. Fortunately, in the end, the concubine was sent away by the second uncle, so she didn't get along. But this incident had a great impact on Yu's cousin, who said that in the future, he must marry a wife who is in love with him, and he will never take a concubine to raise a house. ”

Fang Moyu was very surprised when she heard this, "Your second aunt also agrees to this?" "In the capital, the men of their Fang family are considered to be clean, but her father and second uncle also had a room before they got married, and their brothers and cousins are also following the path of their elders.

"Agreed, the second aunt not only agreed, but also praised Cousin Yu, and even asked Cousin Jin to learn from her younger brother. Although my second aunt is the daughter of a civil official family, she is a jealous and hateful character, and she can't see a man's three wives and four concubines, so Cousin Jin and her cousin-in-law have not given birth for three years, and they have not been disgusted by others. ”

Fang Moyu praised Aunt Jian and Zheng Yu again and again, in order to leave a good impression in front of Fang Moyu. Her goal was achieved, after listening to her cousin's words, Fang Moyu had a good impression of Zheng Yu and Aunt Jane, but she was a restrained character, and Zheng Yu had previously said that she was discussing marriage with others, so she had no other thoughts about him.

Zheng Yu didn't know that his previous words were self-defeating, during the days of living in Jian's house, in addition to completing errands, the most he did was to go to the street to collect those interesting gadgets, except for a small part of the Jian family's cousins, the rest were all sent to Liufang Yuan.

For this reason, Jian Fang and Jian Yun regarded Fang Mojiao as a thorn in the flesh, and they had to be sarcastic from time to time. His behavior made Mrs. Jian know, and she deliberately called people over for questioning.

"Brother Yu, tell your grandmother honestly, is your mother in love with her?"

Zheng Yu was surprised and hurriedly shook his head, "No, I have always regarded my cousin as my own sister, and my mother knows it." ”

Old Madam Jian looked at him suspiciously, "Since it's not a concubine, then why do you send things to Liufang Courtyard every time?" ”

It turned out that this incident caused a misunderstanding among my grandmother, Zheng Yu explained, "I grew up with my cousin since I was a child, and I have always treated her as my own sister, and I know that she likes interesting gadgets, so I gave some more." Grandmother, not only my cousin, but also other cousins. ”

Old Madam Jian still felt that there was something strange about this, and looking at her grandson's calm face, she suddenly had a trace of speculation in her heart. It is true that there is a granddaughter Fang Moyu who lives in Liufang Courtyard, but there is also a girl Fang Moyu who lives in the Fang family's big house, is it true that her grandson's object of negotiation is her?

Old Madam Jian had a guess in her heart, so she let Zheng Yu go back, but she quietly observed when her children and grandchildren asked for peace. After observing for a few days, he found that his grandson's eyes drifted to Fang Moyu from time to time, and after knowing that he had no intention of Fang Moyu, he was sure that he was looking at Fang Moyu next to him.

To be honest, Mrs. Jian still likes Fang Moyu very much, this girl is gentle and polite, generous and humble, and her family background is not bad, if she is a pair with her grandson, it is also very good. The only bad thing is that I was divorced.

But she can't control this matter, listening to her grandson's meaning, the second daughter has already begun to discuss marriage with the Fang family, and the grandson has chased after Jane's house by running an errand, if it goes well, maybe she will drink her granddaughter-in-law's tea again.

Fang Mojiao didn't know that Old Madam Jian had guessed the whole story, she had been creating opportunities for Fang Moyu and Zheng Yu to meet, and after the two met Old Madam Jian more times, she realized that something was wrong.

On this day, taking advantage of the absence of everyone else, Fang Mojiao quietly tested Mrs. Jane, and was teased by Mrs. Jane as soon as she spoke, "I don't know when my well-behaved and obedient granddaughter turned out to be the little matchmaker who leads the marriage line for others." ”

Fang Mojiao's face was a little hot, and she said uncomfortably: "It's still my grandmother who is amazing, I think I've done it very secretly, but I was still discovered by you." ”

Old Madam Jian smiled, "How old are you, I haven't experienced anything in my life for decades, and you're still too immature." After a pause, he continued: "According to your method, Brother Yu and Miss Fang don't know how to get together in the Year of the Monkey. ”

Fang Mojiao hurriedly asked her for advice, Mrs. Jian asked her to go up to her ear, and whispered a few words to her, Fang Mojiao was a little hesitant, "Will this be too direct, I'm afraid that the big sister won't be able to stand it." ”

Old Madam Jian shook her head, "Miss Fang is a gentle person, she must use a quick knife. You do what I say, and it won't take long to see results. ”
