Chapter 20: Showdown
"Also, don't think I can't see what she thinks about your brother, I'm afraid it's for this to play with you. You too! Don't always be stupid and let people sell it and pay back the number of people, do you know people and faces? ”
Fang Tian's face suddenly realized: "Oh-mother, don't you like her?" ”
Zhao Xiuqin replied: "Alas, it's not that she is bad, but Ying'er, this girl, is not suitable for your brother." You also know that your brother is honest and won't beat around the bush, Ying'er has a lot of eyes, if they really make them a parent, your brother will wait to suffer a loss! Besides," Zhao Xiuqin lowered her voice, "She also has a drunkard father, I heard that she has been involved in gambling again recently, she is idle all day long, and she doesn't do anything serious, she is a vampire who is tired of her daughter, who dares to put up such a family?" ”
Fang Tian silently wrote it down in his heart, and asked again: "Then I think she seems to have reached the age, but is there a good match?" ”
"Such a person is not even a matchmaker who dares to come to the door. Her father still dreams all day long, hoping that his daughter will one day be able to climb the high branches, and the family will soar from then on! ”
"What are you talking to your child about? Let's eat, it's cold if you don't eat. Fang vigorously interrupted the conversation between mother and son.
"What are you interrupting me to do? I'm not done yet, you eat yours. Zhao Xiuqin glared at her husband, and continued: "But recently, I heard that her father did climb a high branch for her, it seems that some outsider in the town has taken a fancy to her, and wants to accept her as a concubine. ”
Fang Tian was shocked, her face was still silent, she obediently buried her head in eating, and glanced at her brother with her spare eyes by the way. Seeing that he pretended not to know anything as he had told him before, so as not to show his feet, he felt a little relieved.
After listening to what Zhao Xiuqin said, Fang Tian already had a plan in her heart, and decided to find a chance to try Ying'er to see if her father sold her to others as a concubine.
If it is true, then she has a motive for calculating Fang Gang's affairs, and maybe even the child's affairs will be revealed.
Although she wanted to test Ying'er, Fang Tian was not in a hurry, as the saying goes, she can't eat hot tofu in a hurry, if she runs to find Ying'er, maybe she will startle the snake and arouse Ying'er's suspicions, she is waiting, waiting for Ying'er to take the initiative to find her.
Anyway, who is in the belly of the child who is in a hurry, and if she doesn't solve this matter quickly, I'm afraid Ying'er's life will be over, if she really comes to that point, I just hope that she won't be dying and pull a cushion, and the dog jumps over the wall to slander her brother.
There has been nothing to do these days, Fang Tian is going to go to the town to buy some flower seeds and mature plants, and there are still a lot of materials to make flower water. Fang Gang didn't worry about her, and said that the girl's family couldn't show up too much, so he had to go with her, so Fang Tian had to comply.
Riding an ox cart to the town, Fang Tian went to the flower and herb market, and Fang Gang went to buy some household goods, and the two went their separate ways, making an appointment to wait for Fang Tian to finish shopping, and wait for him in the small teahouse next to the flower and herb market.
Fang Tian was strolling around, and suddenly saw a familiar figure, it turned out to be Ying'er, walking towards her, as if it was coming for her.
Sure enough, Fang Tian was secretly happy in his heart, the fish was hooked, and while pretending to be surprised, he said to Ying'er who was approaching: "Ying'er, what a coincidence, you are also shopping here?" ”
Ying'er pulled the corners of her mouth and smiled, quite a bit of forced laughter, and said, "Tian'er, can you take a step to speak?" ”
The two came to the small teahouse, it was afternoon, there was no one in the store, and it was a good place to talk.
Fang Tian pretended to be curious and asked, "Ying'er, I see that your face is not good, do you have something urgent to find me?" ”
Ying'er snorted before she said intermittently: "Tian'er, last time...... Did you tell your brother about what I told you last time? You promised me last time...... Help me persuade your brother. ”
Fang Tian looked like he had just remembered, and suddenly said: "Oh, it turns out that this is the case, alas, you also know, my brother, he is honest, he doesn't like to talk, and he is quite shy, every time I tell him this, he turns around and leaves, but I'm embarrassed." But it doesn't matter, what are you afraid of when you're pregnant with his child? Is my brother the kind of person who gives up on everything from the beginning? Even I can't say yes, don't worry, I'll convince my brother to give you an explanation. ”
With Fang Tian's words, Ying'er's face was blue for a while and white for a while, and it seemed that her mood was very uneven.
Fang Tian looked at her face with relish, and said, "But ah, Ying'er, I've heard some bad rumors recently, I don't know if it's true." He said in a worried tone
The warbler seemed to be stimulated by something, her body trembled, and replied, "What...... What rumors? ”
"That's the case, I heard from the people in the village, saying that your father is going to marry you to a rich family as a concubine, is this true?"
Ying'er's face turned pale for a moment, and her body trembled like fallen leaves in the cold wind. Fang Tian couldn't help but feel a little pity for her, but thinking that she also slandered and framed her brother, he was ruthless again.
"Ying'er, are you alright? Is it uncomfortable, ah, it's me who is not good, I forgot that you are still pregnant, are you tired, I just saw that there is a medical clinic not far away, why don't I accompany you to see a doctor? Fang Tian looked quite empathetic.
"Ying'er, listen to me, you can go, no one in this town knows us, and no one will recognize you. It's a big deal to be pregnant with a child, in case there are three long and two short, it's too late to regret it! ”
Yes, this is her purpose, take Ying'er to see the doctor, no matter how backward the ancient medical skills are, it must be easy to diagnose the fetus a few months old, at this time, it is less than a month before she and Fang Gang do it, if the diagnosed fetus is more than a month, then it will be wonderful.
"No...... No, I suddenly remembered that there was an urgent matter at home, so I should see the doctor another day, I ...... I'll go first......" Ying'er trembled her lips and stood up to leave.
"What's the hurry? You haven't told me yet...... Fang Tian suddenly laughed meaningfully, "You haven't told me yet, in your belly, to, bottom, is, whose child?" ”
Ying'er was so frightened that she sat on the chair: "I...... Didn't I say it's your brother's? If you don't believe me, go home and ask your brother ......"
Seeing her weak heart, Fang Tian sneered, and said that the little girl's psychological quality is not very good, it is simply full of flaws, "My brother is stupid, I am not stupid, since you have to say that it is my brother's child, why don't you follow me to see the doctor, see how old the seed in your stomach is, is the time right?" ”
Ying'er stayed there sneeringly, unable to say a word for a long time.
This seems to be a tacit acquiescence, Fang Tian thought, this number is still a little low, and it will collapse in a few words.
"I advise you not to play any more crooked ideas, your lies are full of loopholes, do you really think I will believe you? He even used me, saying that I asked you to talk to my brother, why don't I remember such a thing? ”
Ying'er's eyes were full of thoughts, and when she heard this, she couldn't help but ask, "You...... Aren't you amnesia? ”
Fang Tian lied and didn't make a draft: "Who said I have amnesia, I don't remember a lot of things clearly, I can remember this." She wanted to scare Ying'er and tell her to stop trying to beat her brother's idea.
Ying'er walked out of the teahouse in despair, Fang Tian sat in place, looked at her back and took a sip of tea, her eyes became deep. She was thinking, there are actually many doubts in this matter that have not been clarified, such as since the child in Ying'er's belly is not her brother's, then whose is it? Why doesn't she count others, but her brother?
But these are other people's business, as long as Ying'er no longer tries to pull Fang Gang into the muddy water, Fang Tian is too lazy to care, she can't be busy with her own affairs, and she is not uncommon to take care of other people's affairs.
The matter was over, Fang Tian suddenly remembered that his things had not been bought yet, and while the sun was still hanging, he walked into the market again and planned to continue shopping.
Walking aimlessly into a dilapidated crop shop, most of the shops were full of crop seeds, and there were few flowers and plants, Fang Tian looked around carelessly, and suddenly, she frowned.
"Boss? What kind of flower seeds is this? Fang Tian pointed to the black seeds piled on a rag in the corner of the counter.
The kind of seed is very strange, the surface is dark and shiny, and the body is oval and flattened the size of a little thumb, Ren Fangtian wants to break his head, and he can't think of any plant that can produce such seeds.
Hearing this, Xiao Er, the clerk who was dozing off, woke up, ran over in a hurry, looked down, made a difficulty, scratched his head and said:
"This ...... This is something left by my old lady, and the little one really doesn't know what the seed is, why don't I go and invite my boss over, you ask him? ”
Fang Tian nodded and agreed.
Soon, a middle-aged man who looked to be in his forties and fifties walked down from the upper floor, and the shopkeeper led the boss to Fang Tian's side and introduced: "Boss, this is this guest, she wants to ask you about these seeds." ”
The boss glanced at Fang Tian and felt that although this girl was dressed plainly, her appearance was quite beautiful and her temperament was outstanding, which made people feel a little good in their hearts.
"The girl wants this?" The boss asked.
Fang Tian replied: "Yes, dare to ask the boss if he knows what kind of flower and plant seed this is?" I've never seen it. ”
The boss came over and looked at the pile of seeds for a long time, before he frowned again and said, "Don't hide it, girl, these seeds are the relics of my long-dead old father, and it has been ten or twenty years now, maybe these seeds have long been dead and cannot be used." ”
The boss twisted one with his hand: "As for what kind of seed this thing is, I don't know, the old man loved to study some flowers and plants during his lifetime, and he never inherited his mantle, so naturally I don't know much about these things." ”
Fang Tian felt a pang of confusion in his heart: "Are you saying that these seeds are no longer usable?" ”
Seeing that she was disappointed, the boss hurriedly added: "If the girl really wants it, she might as well take it home and plant it, maybe it can grow it." Seeds are still very well preserved, if the girl sincerely wants, I will give you the other packets of seeds left by the old man, I don't know what the girl thinks? ”
Fang Tian thought that this could only be the case, and couldn't help but report a trace of hope, hoping that these seeds could really survive.
Subsequently, Fang Tian asked the boss how much it cost, and the boss smiled: "Seeing that the girl has a good face, I will make a good relationship with the girl, and I only accept you for five children." ”
Five copper plates are really not much, Fang Tian nodded, and felt that it was very fair, so he asked the shopkeeper to wrap these things.
"Okay, girl, your things are packed, you walk slowly!" The shopkeeper handed the wrapped seeds to Fang Tian, Fang Tian took them, turned around and prepared to leave.
The boss suddenly stopped her: "Girl, stay!" ”
