Chapter 155: Persuasion
Fang Jie heard his aunt mention his mother, a sadness flashed in his eyes, and he replied in a deep voice, "The people of the Fang family only treat me as a cornucopia of giving and taking, I just stay in the Fang family for a lifetime, and they will not support me to become an official." Taking a step back, I have really become an official, and with that family being constrained, I may also cause the disaster of killing, but it is better to be free and worry-free in business. ”
"They dare!" The Wei family also had no good impression of the in-laws of the other family, and his subordinates slapped the table and said hatefully, "When your mother was oppressed by them that day, I had not yet given birth to Baokun, and I had no face in front of the master. I can only wash my face with tears for your mother's grievances in my heart, and I can't help at all. If it is placed now, I can ask the other Fang family to go to prison and drink the wind with a little means. How dare they treat you harshly? ”
Fang Jie thought of the father in the old mansion who dreamed of reinstatement all day long, it was really hateful and pitiful. He let out a long sigh and said in a low voice, "Auntie, I will definitely not go back to the Fang family." The road to becoming an official is full of dangers. If it weren't for my mother marrying a husband who was an official, she wouldn't have been running around all day long, and she hadn't been treated well in the end. ”
Wei also sighed, shook his head lightly and said, "It is said that the son does not say anything about the father, but at the beginning, your grandfather was indeed too greedy for power, and he didn't want to put a lot of good family affairs, so he took a large amount of dowry to send me and your mother's family to the Sun family and the Fang family respectively."
I never thought that he would die within a year, leaving me and your mother struggling to survive under the hands of the eldest woman. Your mother... That's it, don't talk about that, now everything is gone. You listen to your aunt and transfer the shop to the steward to take care of it. Then find a college to study hard for two years, and my aunt will guarantee you a bright future. ”
Fang Jie heard that his aunt still made up her mind to ask him to take a scientific examination, and he was extremely helpless, and said with a wry smile, "Auntie, I have already made up my mind, and I don't plan to conduct a scientific examination." ”
"Not planning a scientific expedition?" Wei raised his eyebrows and thought for a moment, and then said, "That's okay, Feng'er's girl is extremely infatuated with you, I'll go back and say a few words to the master and the premise, and find a way to get you married." In the future, if you marry her, take some money and donate an official body, and slowly move up. ”
"Auntie, I don't plan to be an official, let alone marry Jiaofeng!" Fang Jie couldn't bear it, and said bluntly, "When my mother and aunt got married, they were Gao Pan, and how much hard work they endured, my aunt won't know it." I won't talk about Jiaofeng's temperament and temper, just say that she is the daughter of Fu Yin, I am a businessman, and my identity is too far apart. If I really get married, I'm afraid it will be difficult for me to raise my head and be a person.
Auntie, the family business I have saved in the past few years is enough to worry about food and clothing, I just want to find a kind and gentle woman as a wife, become my own son, and live in the countryside. Auntie, don't persuade me to be an official anymore? ”
Many things, saying a few words by yourself is considered self-deprecation, but saying it from other people's mouths is poking at the heart. Wei Shi heard his nephew speak like this, his heart hurt and angry, and he almost shed tears, "You... You child, but you look down on me and your mother and others as concubines? I knew what you thought in your heart, why did I bother to plan for you day and night? ”
Fang Jie saw tears glistening in his aunt's eyes, and hurriedly got up and stepped forward to apologize, "Auntie, it's all my fault, don't be angry." My mother died early, if there is only one person in this world who truly loves me, my aunt is left, how can I be disrespectful to my aunt? It's just my aunt, I really don't want to be an official, I just want to be free for a lifetime. I still hope that my aunt will love me, so I should do it this time, right? ”
Wei Shi pulled the handkerchief and pressed it at the corner of his eye, waved his hand angrily and said, "Your wings are hard now, and my aunt can't control you anymore, I won't mention half a word about this, you can decide for yourself." ”
Where is this asking him to be casual, obviously he is still annoyed. Fang Jie smiled bitterly and couldn't, so he had to learn from his childhood and hugged his aunt's arm, and said softly, "Auntie, when my mother passed away, I told me to live a good life, no matter whether I am an official or a businessman, as long as I feel comfortable, my mother's spirit in the sky must also be happy."
Jiaofeng's temperament is too domineering, not to my liking, if I reluctantly marry her, it may be difficult to settle down in the future. If... My aunt is worried that Bao Kun will not be able to support her eldest sister when she grows up, so I also have a method here, as long as my aunt goes back, she will definitely put her aunt in the position of a wife..."
"Is that true?" Wei was already a little moved by his nephew's soft words, and suddenly sat up straight in surprise when he heard this. You must know how many years she fought openly and secretly in the back house of the Sun family, and she also gave birth to the only male member of the Sun family, and in the end, even if she got the right to manage the family, she was never corrected. She thought about it day and night to no avail, and even gave up this idea a little, but she didn't want her nephew to mention it again today, and she looked very sure.
She firmly grasped Fang Jie's arm with both hands, and said in a trembling voice, "Brother Guan, are you making fun of your aunt?" ”
"How dare I, aunt." Fang Jie secretly smiled in his heart and finally got the right medicine, and continued, "I went back to Beijing a few days ago and heard a news that the imperial court is going to take the examination of the city government Yin, which is related to the term of office of the next five years. Sun Mansion Yin Xu will see the official document in these two days, and the chief officer of the school this time is the sixth prince. When my mother was on a business trip, she took a child back to Beijing, and when she encountered robbers on the way, she tried her best to save the child's life. That kid is... The second son of the sixth prince's mansion, he is titled the king of Zhijun..."
Wei Shi listened quietly, the light flashed between the opening and closing of her eyes, and almost in a blink of an eye, she thought about the cause and effect of the matter, and even how to act when she returned home, and naturally the joy on her face became stronger and stronger.
"You kid, why didn't you say something so important earlier? My aunt was originally afraid that you would be deceived in the future, but since your mother left such a blessing for you, my aunt didn't worry too much. Whether you are a merchant or an official, you can make up your own mind. ”
Fang Jie finally got his wish, got up and smiled and saluted, "Thank you, aunt, for making it happen." ”
Wei Shi took a sip of warm tea to calm his mind, and said with a smile, "I will go back and mention this matter to the master, if it is helpful to the examination school, it is naturally the best." ”
"Aunt, rest assured, the king of Zhijun is very close to the child, and when the time comes, the child will write a letter to Sun Fuyin, no, just take it to the capital with the 'uncle'."
Wei nodded and praised, "Aunt really hasn't hurt you in vain all these years, if you have this wish, your mother will be happy for me when the spirit of heaven learns about it." ”
The two aunts and nephews sat together and whispered for a long time. Wei's long-term wish is expected to come true, and grass grows in his heart, and he can't wait to step back to the house to arrange and plan. So, Sun Jiaofeng, the eldest lady who was pampered in the palm of her hand in the past, was also blamed, "Jiaofeng, this girl is really clumsy, a bowl of white fungus soup has to be stewed until dark?" ”
Fang Jie smiled secretly and responded, "Maybe the things in the stove don't fit. ”
As soon as his words fell, there was a sound of footsteps in the courtyard, and the old lady outside the door knocked on the door very alertly to remind the master to be cautious. At the end, he bowed down and opened the door, just in time to let in Miss Sun, who looked annoyed.
Wei Shi had already put on a loving look, and opened his mouth to greet, "Feng'er, why don't you have a good face?" It's burning your fingers, come and show me. ”
Sun Jiaofeng sat down beside Wei, pouted and shouted with a look of annoyance, "Erniang, you don't know, cousin still lives in this house!" Just now I took a fancy to a double-eared stew pot in the stove, and I was thinking that it was just right for Erniang to stew white fungus soup. But the cook just refused to pour out the jujube and japonica rice porridge inside, and said that the porridge was prepared for the distinguished guests invited back by his cousin. Erniang, you say, is there anyone in this city who is more precious than us? ”
Wei smiled and patted her back and comforted, "Your cousin is the most filial and polite, don't wronged him." Maybe it's a friend in business, how can you guess that it must be a female customer? ”
Sun Jiaofeng Xu also felt that she was reckless, her face turned red, and she replied in a low voice, "Then my cousin also wants to punish the cook, why don't you even let me use a stew pot?" I'm going to stew supplements for Erniang! ”
"Okay, good, Erniang knows that you are filial. Bring the white fungus soup quickly, and Erniang will try your craft. ”
The old lady hurriedly stepped forward and lifted the lid of the lily porcelain bowl, and Wei Shi smiled and ate two spoonfuls, naturally full of praise.
Sun Jiaofeng secretly glanced at Fang Jie, but in the end she leaned over, and asked in a coquettish voice, "Cousin, who is that distinguished guest?" ”
Fang Jie was extremely disgusted in his heart, but he still smiled gently, "Why is my cousin so curious about this person's identity?" As my aunt said, they are friends who have business dealings. ”
"I'm just curious and asking." Sun Jiaofeng was relieved, and went back to serve Wei's soup, which was really a filial piety, and she saw a layer of goosebumps on Fang Jie's arm.
Wei Shi was also in a hurry to return home, and after a few bites perfunctorily, he put down the spoon, and said with a smile, "This white fungus soup really feels much better when I eat it, and our Feng'er's craftsmanship is more effective than the elixir." After she finished speaking, she looked up at the sky outside, and said, "It's noon soon, and Bao Kun should get out of class, so let's go back." ”
Sun Jiaofeng was very reluctant, and begged in a low voice, "Erniang, if you go back first, I'll stay with my cousin to ask for a few poems, okay?" ”
If it was the Wei family's custody in the past, she would have accepted it, but now that she had other plans, she also accepted the idea of matchmaking, and said with a look of embarrassment, "Feng'er should go back with me, there are not many official affairs in front of the government today, and your father will definitely return to the house much earlier." If he had known that I had taken you out for a walk, he would have been angry, and he would have never allowed you to go out again. ”
Sun Jiaofeng was also deflated when she heard this, and let the maid put on a cloak for her, and finally pulled Fang Jie's sleeve and repeatedly told him to go to his house often, and then reluctantly followed Wei out and got into the car.
Fang Jie saw the carriage go away, and immediately turned around and went straight to the backyard.
Pu Cao and Chen's second sister-in-law sat in the guest room guarding the two children for a long time, and when they saw Shanzi and Fat Dun'er sweating, they finally woke up. The two naughty boys Xu Wei also knew that they were sick, and their little butts would not suffer for the time being, so they laughed and shouted that they were hungry. (The fifth update of the Scrabble contest!) I'm down, my head is going to explode! I hope that I have lived up to the money of many brothers and sisters! )
