Chapter 5 Letter from Beijing

Gu Yanhua wrote in the letter that since the divorce of the same Fang family, Yun Shifan planned to marry his cousin, but Lord Yun and Mrs. Yun firmly disagreed. In order to cut off her son's thoughts, Mrs. Yun forced her cousin to marry a merchant, and quickly set her niece as his wife, but all this was hidden from Yun Shifan.

Anyway, my aunt's cousin and aunt's cousin are cousins, and Mrs. Yun thinks that her niece is good-looking, hearty and generous, and she is many times better than her husband's sister-in-law's little white flower daughter who can only cry.

Mrs. Yun did not allow the two to meet on the grounds that the fiancΓ© could not see each other before marriage. Yun Shifan was kept in the dark, and no one told him that the cousin who married him had been replaced, and he was happily preparing to marry his sweetheart.

Paper can't contain the fire, and on the day of the wedding, when Yun Shifan and the bride were visiting, the little white flower cousin broke into the Yun Mansion by some means. Yun Shifan looked at his sweetheart who was already dressed as a woman, ripped off the hijab of the bride who worshiped with him, and went crazy on the spot, and before everyone could react, he pulled his sweetheart and ran away from the marriage.

The Yun family lost face because of this, and Mrs. Yun also offended her mother's sister. The bride was torn off her hijab in the process of worshipping the church, in addition to being embarrassed and unlucky, the bride was clamoring to seek death, and Mrs. Yun announced in front of the guests in order to stabilize her niece that she only recognized her niece as her daughter-in-law.

On the other side, Lord Yun and Young Master Yun hurriedly sent people to chase Yun Shifan and Xiao Baihua, and soon the two were caught up, Yun Shifan took Xiao Baihua's cousin and ran to the Qiyang River, threatening his father and brother that if they didn't let them go, they would jump into the river and die.

Lord Yun was embarrassed because of this son's old face, and he felt that it was better for this son who would only cause trouble to die than to live, so he scolded him for jumping, and there were servants in the house to collect his body for him. Yun Shifan was also a little panicked when he saw this, what was more panicked than him was Cousin Xiaobaihua, Cousin Xiaobaihua climbed up to Yun Shifan with all her scheming, just to live a good life, and now she saw that she was going to die in Huangquan, and she didn't know where the strength came from, so she pushed Yun Shifan to the side and ran into the crowd by herself.

And Yun Shifan, who was pushed by her, did not stand firm and accidentally fell into the Qiyang River. Lord Yun was in a hurry, and hurriedly asked the family to go down to save people. Later, Yun Shifan was rescued, and the person was fine, but he was heartbroken by the little white flower cousin, and he has been in a state of collapse ever since.

Gu Yanhua was glad in the letter that her friend and Yun Shifan had divorced, otherwise she would have become a relative to such a ghostly person, and she would not know how hard it would be in the future. Fang Mojiao could know how gloating Gu Yanhua was just by looking at her words. If she hadn't had that dream, she might have the same mentality as her friend, and she only felt that Yun Shifan had fallen to such a point because he was to blame.

But after experiencing such an unbelievable dream, her mentality also changed. She herself can feel that the young man does not know the taste of sorrow, and the years of sorrow are getting farther and farther away from her, and now she is the mentality of a middle-aged woman who has experienced wind and frost, and she only seeks stability.

After reading the letter, Fang Mojiao picked up the pen and replied, and when the last word fell on the paper, the scenery outside the window slowly darkened. She rubbed her somewhat sore arm, asked Baixi to pack the letter, and went to the next door to have dinner with Fang Moyu.

On the second day, when Fang Mojiao and Fang Moyu went to greet Mrs. Jian, Mrs. Jian mentioned that her grandson Zheng Yu had come and said that she had received the news and that he was about to arrive in the afternoon. Hearing this, Fang Moyu casually glanced at her cousin, only to see Fang Moyu with a decent smile on her face, and she couldn't see any difference from usual. However, Jian Fang, who was sitting opposite her, had a little more excitement in her eyes, and Jian Yun's expression on the side was no longer arrogant.

Fang Mojiao thought it was funny, the second aunt liked her eldest sister as her daughter-in-law, and she definitely didn't expect that the Jian family had two nieces and nephews interested in Cousin Yu. However, in addition to Jian Yao and Jian Fei, who are slightly younger, Jian Fang and Jian Yun have already reached each other, and they haven't even seen each other, and they don't know what their uncle and aunt think.

In fact, it is not Mr. Jian and Mrs. Jian who are to blame for this, but Jian Fang and Jian Yun, as concubines, can't recognize their identities and want to marry high in the capital. But they are not concubines, they don't have any talents, and their appearance is not good, even if they were born in a prestigious family like the Jian family, it is not so easy to climb high branches.

For Mrs. Jane, if the concubine marries well, it is also a help for the two sons, and she will not feel distressed if she marries badly. So after learning the thoughts of the two concubines, I didn't bother much about their marriage.

Master Jian is the kind of person who only reads the books of sages, and the affairs of the backyard are fully handled by Mrs. Jane, even if Jian Yun's aunt is the most favored, he will not do anything that favors the concubine because of the pillow wind.

Jian Fang and Jian Yun learned that their father was unreliable, and their mother-in-law would not do their best for them, so they thought about their own marriage. People who are good friends can't climb up, so they can only choose among relatives. It stands to reason that they should set their sights on the Fang family, but Brother Fang is already married, and Second Brother Fang is also married, and they have not yet fallen to the point of being concubines, so the Fang family is not among the candidates.

Mrs. Jane's maiden family didn't dare to make up their minds, and if their mother-in-law knew that they had such thoughts, they would be afraid that they would not be able to eat and walk around. The other two aunts of the Jian family were married ordinarily and did not meet their requirements. After choosing a circle, only Aunt Jane's Zheng Yu is the most suitable.

Although Uncle Jian is a military general, he has real power in the hands of Jingguan. Zheng Yu is young and promising, quite like his father, and his future is limitless. If such a wishful man does not grasp it well, he will definitely regret his death.

Zheng Yu didn't know that he had become a sweetheart in the eyes of his two cousins, and after he came to Jiangnan, he went directly to Jian's house. He is similar to Fang Mojiao, although he is the nephew of the Jian family, he has come to the Jian family very rarely.

After Mrs. Jian saw her tall and strong grandson, the sadness of not seeing her second daughter for a long time was swept away. She compares her grandson with her two own grandchildren, and still thinks that her two grandchildren are more in line with her own aesthetics.

However, the grandson came from afar, and he should still care about it. When asked about Zheng Yu's relatives, Zheng Yu actually blushed, but his skin was darker and he couldn't see it if he didn't look closely.

Zheng Yu replied: "Mother already has a candidate in her heart, so she is waiting for the woman's family to respond." ”

In addition to Zheng Yu, Fang Mojiao also knew the inside story. Old Madam Jian nodded, and when she asked which family the woman was, Zheng Yu said cautiously: "Please forgive my grandmother, before the marriage is decided, it is inconvenient for the grandson to inform her, so as not to damage the woman's reputation." β€œ

Mrs. Jian was a little regretful, but thinking that this grandson had always been kind, she didn't ask anymore.

Old Madam Jian didn't ask, which made Jian Fang and Jian Yun feel very uncomfortable. They have always regarded Zheng Yu as their own bag, but they didn't expect to come halfway to bite the gold, looking at Zheng Yu's appearance, they should like that girl very much. The two not only knocked over the vinegar jar, but also chewed a handful of coptis, the bitter, astringent and sour taste was repeated back and forth in their hearts, and the pain was only understood in their hearts.

Fang Mojiao, who had been secretly paying attention to the two, noticed the change in their expressions, and couldn't help but sigh. People go to higher places, and water flows to lower places. Jian Fang and Jian Yun are right to pursue what they want, but they ignore one point, the most important thing about marriage is that the right family is the right person, and the marriage that is not the right family will either end in pain or end in nothing.

She remembered in her mother's letter that she wanted to act as a matchmaker for her eldest sister and cousin Yu. So after coming out of her grandmother, Fang Mojiao asked Zheng Yu about the affairs of the capital.

When they spoke, Fang Moyu stood aside, Zheng Yu's eyes drifted to her from time to time, Fang Moyu seemed to be aware of it, and she was extremely uncomfortable. Fang Mojiao didn't understand anything, she only felt funny in her heart. She said to Fang Mo: "Big sister is tired, go back first, I'll talk to Cousin Yu and come back." ”

Fang Moyu nodded, said goodbye to Zheng Yu and left with Luyin.

Zheng Yu's gaze was firmly glued to her, and Fang Mojiao coughed twice pretendedly, so startled that he immediately withdrew his gaze.

"Cousin Yu, my eldest sister has always been gentle and gentle, and you will frighten her if you are so direct." Fang Mojiao looked at him teasingly.

Zheng Yu smiled wryly, "I couldn't hold back for a while, cousin don't laugh at me." After speaking, he asked: "I don't know if my aunt told you no, you still have a heavy responsibility to do." ”

Fang Mojiao sighed: "Don't worry, I will definitely do what my second aunt and my mother explained." But have you informed my uncle and aunt about this? ”

"Uncle Fang and Aunt Fang are very satisfied with me, this matter is with their tacit approval, otherwise my aunt will not let you be the little matchmaker. Cousin, as long as you can handle this, I will definitely give you a big thank you gift in the future. Between the words, Zheng Yu's expression became very serious.
