Volume II-18 A Trip to Luoyang (XI)

++++++++++++++++++ the demarcation line of Luoyang (XI) (above).

"Looks like I've been thoroughly used." "Maybe I should really give way to my two brothers and concentrate on medicine." ”

"Do you think that if you give way, you will be able to concentrate on medical skills, and forget about the old wounds from before? Back then, you said it yourself, the word "brother" of the royal family of the ancient country is the word "betrayal". ”

Maguli sighed, In the royal family of the ancient fan country, retreating means death, and concentrating on medical skills can only be his dream in this life: "Okay, I can only think about it like this." Can you ask your lady to demonstrate her silver needle healing technique? I'll go back and clean them up. ”

"No, when you go back and pack them up, sit firmly in the ancient fan country, one day I can go to the ancient country to open a Yuehuaxuan, you will be able to see her silver needle."

"Brother, it's been a long time."

"My lady's medical skills are definitely worth looking forward to."

"Brother, you are a very hard-hearted person."

"I'm just a person who doesn't like to be calculated and murdered. I don't like to see my brother murdered. I believe that your talent is not only in your medical skills, but in fact, as long as you concentrate, you can do your best. After it is done, my lady will naturally demonstrate the silver needle to you. She also helped me translate a Sanskrit medical book some time ago, which is very magical. If you can keep your promise, I will ask my lady to give you a congratulatory gift of the translation and the comments on our research. ”

"Okay, Xiaojie, when it comes to business, I can't talk about you."

"I'm here to help you."

"Help me, and you're helping yourself. The people who abandoned me yesterday would never put their energy on an ordinary merchant, even if it was the Tang Sect, they were not necessarily willing to pay such a big price. So, bro, don't tell me you're just for me. ”

"I never said that it was just for you, for the sake of my aunt and grandmother's entrustment to support the current crown prince, so there is a conflict with them."

"So you know your enemy, who gave up on me yesterday, who it is?"

"I don't know, there are too many people who like big seats."

"Brother, may I ask you a question? If you didn't think about your aunt and grandmother, what kind of person would you choose to help? Both in Middle-earth and in the ancient kingdom of Panfan. ”

"He must first be a capable person, know what he wants, not have to accept something, and then see if he can be more benevolent for the sake of the people."

"So I'm not the best candidate for you."

"Ideally, you're not."

"Brother, you're cruel."

"I'm telling the truth, and if you expose your shortcomings, you'll be hit. But none of the princes of the ancient kingdom completely meet my requirements, and you will be pretty good. At least it's not stupid, it's just that it's occasionally overflowing with benevolence, and it's good to have someone mention it. ”

"You say the same about your prince of Middle-earth?"

"He would never ask such a stupid question. He knew what he wanted. He also knew that what he wanted could only be achieved when he ascended to power. ”

"Okay, so he's more qualified than I am in your mind."

"You are a brother, he is the future monarch."

"I like you to say that, man." Even if you can't practice medicine, at least there are brothers who forget each other, not everyone has them, let alone a very good brother. Magul laughed happily.

After everything was discussed, Ma Guli prepared to leave: "Brother must go back and work hard, so that you can come to Kaiyue Huaxuan as soon as possible." ”

"Wait, for my Yuehuaxuan to really be able to open in the ancient country, I'll help you again." With that, Xinjie nodded towards Lian'er.

Lian'er came one by one, holding a sandalwood box in her hand and handed it to Xinjie. Xinjie handed it to Maguli: "You are well versed in medical skills, so I won't explain much." This is the Tangmen's lark grass, the purple elixir. There are also Tianshan flower red cultivated by Lian'er and several other flavored medicines. ”

When Maguli opened the box, he knew at a glance that the contents of the box were treasures that he had bought with money and no land, and his heart was grateful.

"Don't look at me like that," Xinjie quipped: "I hope you can save your life at any time, and keep the green mountains here, you know this classic of the Central Plains." In many cases, as long as you live, more than anything else. ”

"Yes, brother." Marguli nodded.

"In addition, this is the Qing tea stick of the Aoki Society," Xinjie handed him a silver tea tree leaf: "If there is a problem that you can't solve by yourself, take this sign to Yuyang Pass, which is closest to Gufanguo, to find someone from the Tangmen Ping'an Warehouse, and someone will help you." ”

Once again, Maguli was impressed with the brother. He thought it was time to set off, but Lian'er slapped her hands twice, and a middle-aged woman and a young woman came in, although they were not outstanding in appearance, but they looked very pleasing to the eye.

"These two are the young lady and the Shanshan girl of Baihuatang, one of these two is proficient in disguise and various blinding methods, and the other knows some about various tricks. This time, they will go back with you as the servants you bought in Middle-earth, settle the affairs of your princess first, and then trouble you to send someone to send them to Yuyang Pass. ”

"Do you suspect someone pretending to be my princess?"

"Yes or no, it's useless."

Marguli nodded slowly, Indeed. 's own princess, because she is not her love, so she usually pays little attention to her details.

Seeing that he was lost in thought, Xinjie interrupted him in time: "You leave quickly, and you will do what you promised me." ”

Standing up again, Maguli was the graceful and imposing prince of Gufan again: "Brother, thank you for your careful arrangement. ”

"Don't thank me, remember to thank my lady."

Maguli looked at the brother in front of him, glanced at the fairy-like person, and smiled: "What are you worried about?" ”

"You know."

"Looks like you're serious this time." He nodded, "I try my best to do my thing, and if there is a need, Gu Fanguo will be her support in the future." ”

Xinjie smiled, In Marguli's words, this brother's laughter was so hurtful that even a man looked at him. is such a man, but he tries his best to leave a way out for his protectors, which shows how much he cares. It's hard to say whether these people can see the sun tomorrow, but whatever is tomorrow, they must plan for their families. Next, he felt that Xinjie's smile was not only dazzling, but also the most beautiful picture in the world. Because he heard a sentence: "You can also tell Imelda when you go back, if there is a need for uncle and aunt, Yuehuaxuan is also a place where she can ask for help, although it is just a hotel, and she has no other abilities, but she can be free of food and clothing." "Imelda was Magul's only daughter and the only woman he loved in his life.

The head of the farm had been waiting at the gate of the courtyard, and saw a team of people come out, obviously Jingwei, but none of them were the costumes of Baicaotang. When did he come to his house, he really didn't know. Then, escorting a carriage from the courtyard, he followed the guards away. He poked his head and found that the car that the third young master was sitting in just now was still in the courtyard, so he waited honestly. Sure enough, after a cup of tea, the young master called him over, just telling him to take care of his subordinates' mouths, and as for the matter of last night and today's visitors, he was not allowed to mention a word. When he spoke, he always hugged a woman wearing a veil and never left his hand.

Zhuang Touer is just the most ordinary Zhuang Tou in the Tang Sect, it is not easy to meet the master in ordinary days, the third young master told him face to face, and rewarded him with a ruler to make new clothes for his family, he was so happy that he was full of promises. Those farmer men naturally obeyed the words of the head of the village, except for the mother-in-law and aunts talking about the handsomeness of the third young master, and the woman who came with him wearing a veil and being mysterious, there was nothing else to say. Although Zhuangtou ordered the mouth to be closed, but the relatives of the next year, the nearby villages and towns always have some gossip to say, and some people like to show off, and soon the towns near Zhuangzi all know how handsome the third young master of the Tang family is, how to take the mysterious woman to stay in the courtyard of Zhuangzi for a long time, and then return to the city in the evening. Croppers grind their teeth idly, using their imaginations in the sorghum fields, circulating various versions. The embroiderers in the dyeing shop also received these messages two days later. The ridiculous speculation of the farmer and their mother-in-law made him laugh. The third young master of the Tang family used to go around the city for a long time when playing with women, and also went to the farm where the smell of cow and horse dung was stained. Immediately, he understood that this was not this Tang Sanshao looking for fun, but hiding people in the most ordinary and unguarded farm of the Tang family, and they were going to meet people. By the time his men went to the vicinity of the farm a day later to follow up on the clues, Maguli was already hundreds of miles away.

After a night of bloody rain, the Tang family's Luoyang Baicao Hall Huang Da was taken down by the third young man, and then was killed by the killer who was sent to Yingyue Tower, and even his daughter who had been incognito in the third young master's Yuehuaxuan for many years was found out. Everyone in the Baicaotang is in danger. Even those elders who used to be high-ranking masters have restrained a lot, lest their children make mistakes and be stirred into that unknown whirlpool, and they will be served in a pot when they turn around. At this time, Xinjie took Lian'er to officially enter Luoyang Baicaotang and began to tidy up.

Xinjie is different from Xintian, Xintian has always put on a picture of a young master, which makes people feel that respecting him is actually to respect the Tang family. Xinjie has always been very easy-going, but he is gentle and dignified, and he is well-founded and methodical. People who don't know how to measure think that this kind of master is easy to deal with, and after two back and forth, they completely collapsed, not to mention that Xinjie also has a lotus by his side, who is observant and very organized. Since then, the big and small leaders of the Luoyang branch hall have learned that this easy-going third young master is much more difficult to deal with than the eldest young master. The stewards of the two Xianyang Baicaotang main halls who went with him, usually looked at Lian'er very gentle, originally thought that she would take care of the accounts, and helped the eldest young master find the loophole here, and after a few days, I also knew why the eldest young master admired this girl so much recently, her words were sharp and thoughtful, and it was difficult for many men to catch up.

++++++++++++++++++ the demarcation line of Luoyang (XI) (middle).

After nearly a month of busyness, everything was finally settled. They planned to spend a few days in Luoyang and then return to Xianyang. On this day, Xinjie took all his subordinates on vacation, and took Lian'er to invite Ah Zhi to his Yuehuaxuan in Luoyang for dinner, thanking him for his care this month.

"It's nothing, you came to live with me to save face, so that it seems that we are brothers. But if you really treat me as a brother, you don't count this meal, you should treat me to a big drink. ”

"What's that for?" Xinjie didn't speak, and Lian'er asked strangely.

"You guy, don't pretend to be confused, and say that everyone is brothers, such a good thing, and pretend not to tell me? ”

Xinjie's face was a little red: "Can't such a good wine and food stop your mouth?" When the time comes, I'll invite you. ”

"Haven't you arrived yet?" Ah Zhi looked at Lian'er a little stupidly.

Only then did Lian'er realize that the two of them were talking about her, which made her embarrassed.

"Have you any news about that kid from He Liangwei lately?" Xinjie hurriedly changed the topic.

"No, it's been a long time since he's lettered. I used to write to me a lot, but I haven't heard from me lately. ”

"This kid has been running to our Zhuangzi a lot lately, but he's not looking for me."

"Oh, that's looking for a crescent moon?"

"You know everything?"

"I guess, the last time you were in Xianyang, I thought he was interested in the new moon."

"You're pretty good. ”

"That's, or maybe you cherished it in the first place. You still won't thank me? "Speaking of which, I went back in circles. Xinjie sometimes thinks that Ah Zhi is a very smart person, far smarter than he looks.

When he returned to the backyard of Ah Zhi's mansion at night, everyone else was asleep, and Xinjie forced Lian'er into his room. For the past month, the two have not had the opportunity to be alone together. Although Lian'er was in the way of Liu's mother and felt bad, she couldn't bear to refuse him, so she let him go. Lian'er originally planned to go back to her and Liu's mother's room after she was done, but after many fish and water loves, she was really tired, and she remembered the feeling of being in Xinjie's arms, so she stayed there and didn't move, and as a result, An'er, who came in with washing water the next day and waited, was startled.

Liu's mother deliberately went to bed early. The day before, when Lian'er was changing her clothes before going out, she went out to do something else, and when she came back, she heard Xinjie inside, so she didn't go in to disturb her. She heard Lian'er let him go, lest Mother Liu go in and meet him badly, Xinjie yelled helplessly. Liu's mother also felt strange and pitiful, and she had to separate the two of them. She didn't quite understand why Mrs. Donald insisted on not letting them be together when they were outside, perhaps for fear that they would be too obsessed with the wrong thing. They originally planned to return to Zhuangzi in a few days at most on the basis of Xintian's treatment, but they didn't know that a delay would be more than a month, and many of them were full of dangers, so that Xinjie and Lian'er had to be careful with their spirits, and they had to send someone back to Xianyang to ask their grandmother and Tang Lan in the middle, they were so busy day and night that they had the energy to think about anything else.

This was the first major event that Xinjie and Lian'er worked together to deal with, and it was a complete success. So this night, Xinjie and Lian'er were in a very good mood, and with Ah Zhi, a friend for many years, the three of them were very interested. When they returned to the courtyard, they were still talking and laughing, and in front of this old friend who knew the roots, Xinjie also unabashedly hugged Lian'er all the way. made Ah Zhi look very envious, and teased them many times. Mother Liu heard them come in, and she blew out the light early and pretended to sleep, leaving a step for the master. She had excellent hearing, and she could hear most of the movements of the two of them next door. At that time, the old lady had just married to Tangmen, and when she returned to her parents' house for the first time to visit, she met Liu's mother's father on the way and beat her original partner for the newly found little wife. After the old lady rescued them, Liu's mother's mother took her to Xianyang with the old lady, and never returned to Jiangnan again. In the old lady's place, although she is a master and servant, the old lady has always regarded her as the daughter of the old man, and has never regarded her as a simple subordinate, and the old lady also taught her some kung fu as a self-defense. She has worked hard since she was a child, and among the subordinates, Liu's mother and Sister-in-law Lin's martial arts are good. Liu's mother also likes the old lady and her family, especially Xinjie, who is like her juniors in her eyes. From the bottom of her heart, she cherishes them too. That night, she planned to take matters into her own hands and not disturb them.

But after An'er saw herself lying on Xinjie's bed, Lian'er felt very ashamed, Xinjie had to be patient after this for her to feel better, but he found that he had never been so eager to be alone as he is now, so he decided to go back to Xianyang early and return to his yard. There, at least in the dead of night, he was able to possess Lian'er in its entirety. He was now very nostalgic for the quiet time they had together after their passion, he could slowly caress her and talk to her, and they always had endless topics to talk about, and each time it was either an opportunity that triggered them to act again, or they talked endlessly until Lian'er wanted to force him to stop sleeping, and then he obediently didn't say anything, slowly touched her body and fell asleep quietly. He didn't know what other couples were like, but from what he knew, they were far happier than other so-called couples, and he wanted to have that happiness for a long time.

On this day, he was preparing to take Lian'er to buy some gifts for the Tang family after breakfast, and then prepared to pack his luggage and return to Xianyang tomorrow, when someone from the prefect's mansion came in to report that there was a Mrs. Zhu outside who asked to see him. As soon as I heard this name, I felt that this Mrs. Ju was ignorant, this was a relative who came to her husband's house, and actually reported herself to Mrs. Zhu. Xinjie wanted to block it directly, but Lian'er reminded him that out of Baihuatang, it was his second aunt's sister-in-law, and if she didn't look at herself, how could she give her second uncle and aunt some face. Over the years, Tang Wei has been in the army all the year round, and the people of the Tang family are very respectful and tolerant of people and things related to Tang Wei. Slapping Mrs. Zhu's face too much will make the second uncle and aunt lose face. In impatience, Xinjie had to ask Mrs. Zhu to come in.

After coming in, I found that there was really Mrs. Zhu, not just Mrs. Ju and Fangyan, but the real old lady of the Zhu family, Mrs. Ju's mother. Looking at a face similar to that of Mrs. Ju, but she was older, Xinjie couldn't help frowning, how did this second aunt's family find her in-laws. The second aunt has always been an enlightened person, and if she wants to come to her brother, how could she choose such a stingy person. But he could only complain in his heart, and he had to be polite on the surface: "I don't know what the old lady is looking for the younger generation?" ”

"You also know that you are a junior, and juniors should understand the etiquette of juniors. You came to Luoyang City, and you didn't know if you wanted to come to pay a salute to the old man? ”

"Mrs. Zhu, maybe the younger generation didn't come to visit first, maybe the etiquette is not good, but the younger generation also has concerns, the younger generation is just the nephew of my second aunt, you are the mother of the second aunt and sister-in-law, and Mr. Zhu has also passed away, is it too presumptuous for the younger generation to introduce a man to the door? And the younger generation came to Luoyang this time on the order of his grandmother, and he had affairs in his body, logically speaking, he should have no distractions, do important things first, and rush back to Xianyang to resume his life, so as not to worry about the elderly. Where can I visit relatives and friends. So please forgive the old lady. Tang still has affairs to deal with today, if the old lady has nothing else to do, then the junior will send someone to send you back to the house first, and the old lady will not be left behind. ”

Some words blocked Mrs. Zhu's anger: "Good, good, good, worthy of Chen Biyan's grandson." Back then, your grandmother was so good, and now this grandson is the same. I'm not going to say anything else to you, but I'm here today for my daughter. Ah Ju has been married for 20 years, and has worked hard in Gannan Road with your Tang family army for eight years, but she didn't make any good money, but she lost her husband and came back. I thought that the Tang Sect was benevolent and righteous, and I went to your Baihuatang to teach, not to mention the hard work, but also to see the face of the third young master, so that she was faceless in public. This is your Tang family's way of protecting the orphans of soldiers? Is this your attitude towards the people who work for you? ”

"If the old lady wants to settle her widowed daughter, she can discuss it with my second aunt. The younger generation obeys the orders of the elders in the family. If it is for the sake of the teaching and learning of Baihuatang, the younger generation can only take the liberty of saying, My Baihuatang's affairs naturally have the internal rules of Baihuatang. The chief steward of Baihuatang and several stewards are not allowed to disturb their subordinates when they are deliberating, which makes sense everywhere. It's like your Zhu family's wine shop, is it possible that when the shopkeeper and the owner are talking, the master on the wine cellar can come and interject? ”

"My Ju'er and Baihuatang are just giving the Tang family face, and by the way, I will help you teach those Jingwei. After so many years of hard work without merit, you don't appreciate it, and you dare to talk about things according to the rules, which is too unkind. ”

"Old lady, there are rules in every family. There are no rules, there is no circle, the Zhu family has the rules of the Zhu family, and the Baihuatang also has the rules of the Baihuatang. In the Baihuatang, no matter how close or close you are, you need to follow the rules of the hall, which is the rule set by my grandmother at the beginning of the opening of the hall. If you want to talk about human feelings, you can only do it outside Baihuatang. If Mrs. Ju feels that the rules of Baihuatang are not to her liking, or that she feels uncomfortable living in Baihuatang, Tang suggests that you consider changing places. Baihuatang is more likely to accommodate those women and children orphans who have lost their homes and are unemployed, which is not comparable to a large family like the Zhu family. ”

"Brother Jie, are you trying to drive us away?" Fang Yan never spoke when she came in, after all, her grandmother had taught her before she came in, and this kind of occasion was not suitable for her to speak.

"I'm just stating the facts. Miss Fangyan is my second aunt's niece, and the Zhu family is a well-known family in Luoyang, whether it is in her mother-in-law's house or back to the Zhu family, she will have a good life, why follow everyone to live hard in Baihuatang? What's more, Fangyan is also in tune, Baihuatang is a group of women and children, and it is not convenient for Mrs. Ju to talk about marriage for Fangyan, looking at each other, it is better to go home, with the lintel of the Li family and the Zhu family, this Luoyang City has a lot of talented people can be screened, it is better than stumbling in a remote bamboo garden. Choosing a good family for Fang Yan in Luoyang City should be the most important thing for Mrs. Ju. ”

At this time, Mrs. Zhu also felt that it was the donkey who kicked her head, so she arranged for her widowed daughter to go to Baihuatang. At the beginning, she thought that with the status of the Zhu family in Luoyang, the dowry in the hands of Mrs. Ju and the property given by her husband's family, it would be easy to remarry. But Mrs. Ju thought like a demon, and she had to stay in the Tang family's sphere of influence, saying that it was for Fang Yan to have the opportunity to marry a man from the Tang family in the future. It's good to look at this man of the Tang family now, but people don't mean that to Fang Yan, he is holding the shelf of his elders, and he can't just sell his granddaughter to him. But it's all here, and it's not Mrs. Zhu's style of doing things if you don't achieve your goal.

++++++++++++++++++ the demarcation line of the trip to Luoyang (XI) (below).

"Since the third young master has already talked about Fang Yan's marriage, I will say it bluntly, our Ah Ju has also worked hard in your family's Baihuatang for so many years, and the character of Ah Ju and Fang Yan is clear to the third young master and the people of Baihuatang. The old woman loves this granddaughter very much, Ah Ju and her husband only have such a daughter, and they will marry in the future, whether it is the marriage that the Zhu family gave to Ah Ju, or the property left by her father to Ah Ju by the Li family, It is not the first in this Luoyang City, but also the average girl from a large family. Not much in a year, at least 10,000 taels of silver came in. There are many young talents waiting in Luoyang City, so let's pick and choose. But our family Fangyan refuses, we must marry you, the third young master. That's why today's old woman is cheeky, let you see that for the sake of the two in-laws, for the sake of me and your grandmother in the rivers and lakes, we are close to each other, and settle this family business. ”

Xinjie was stunned for a moment, If Fang Yan is direct, it is young, I didn't expect Mrs. Zhu to be so straightforward, very speechless.

"I'm sorry, old lady, but it's not appropriate." Seeing that Mrs. Zhu was anxious to open her mouth, Xinjie raised her hand and immediately stopped her: "Please listen to me first, my grandmother has already arranged a marriage for me, and I have no intention of looking for another relative." ”

"Madame Donald has already arranged family affairs for you? How I didn't hear about it. Which girl is it? ”

"Grandmother will arrange for everyone to be notified when the time comes."

"Brother Jie, no matter who you marry, Yan'er will marry you. Yan'er doesn't care about the position of the main wife, as long as she has a flat wife. Fang Yan couldn't sit still for a long time, and she was afraid that her grandmother would retreat after asking clearly. She had already listened to the mothers-in-law and aunts of Baihuatang, and what Brother Jie liked was the new head of Baihuatang, the white girl. The people in Baihuatang said that Brother Jie also loved the white girl, so he would not save face for her and her mother on the day of the bamboo garden and defend the white girl. She's seen the woman, she's okay, but she's a few years older than herself, and she's on the shelf in front of everyone, and she's not a funny person at first glance. My mother taught her that men like to be young, interesting, and have a lively and gentle personality. I haven't had a chance to follow Brother Jie all these years, and Brother Jie doesn't know how cute she is. No matter what identity you are, follow Brother Jie first, as for the woman, just clean her up later: "Yan'er will also respect the sister you want to marry." Everything about Yan'er belongs to Brother Jie, as long as you let Yan'er follow you, Yan'er really just cares about your people, and doesn't care about anything else. ”

Xinjie didn't look at Fang Yan, frowned, and bowed to Mrs. Zhu: "Madam, with all due respect to the juniors, this matter is not appropriate." My grandmother has already arranged for me to get married, and I have no intention of looking for another relative. Since the old lady mentioned the rivers and lakes, we don't have so many twists in the rivers and lakes, and I don't want to use the marriage to ask for the parents' orders as an excuse. So to tell you that my grandmother has arranged a marriage is true. Secondly, Fang Yan is just a little sister in my eyes, and I don't have any other thoughts about her, and I can't marry her. ”

"My family Fangyan has already said just now, if you don't fight for the position of a wife, is it not okay for her to marry you with so much dowry, and be a flat wife?"

"This has nothing to do with Miss Li's dowry. Tang Moushi was reluctant to marry another woman besides his wife. ”

"Young Master Tang, you are perfunctory to us. It is common for a man to have three wives and four concubines, and it is right to marry a few more wives and concubines with the status and family business of the Tang family. ”

"Mrs. Zhu, Tang just doesn't want to deceive the old lady, so he is telling the truth. The old lady has been familiar with the backyard of a large family all her life, does she see less wives and concubines fighting? That kind of smoky life in the backyard is not Tang's favor, Tang really doesn't want to block his wife, and he doesn't want to make trouble for himself, My family, the simpler the better. ”

This remark not only surprised Mrs. Zhu, but even Mrs. Ju was very emotional when she heard it. Soon after she married into the Li family, she went to the Gannan Provincial Army with her husband, and she was frightened by her daily hard work. This was true at the beginning, but after a year or two of good times, the mother-in-law took a concubine to her husband on the grounds that she was infertile, and after she became pregnant, she even stuffed two more women into her body on the grounds that she was physically inconvenient. If it weren't for the fact that she didn't want to see those women, her husband died, why would she have to go back to Luoyang to live in Baihuatang. Xinjie said this at the moment, which made her feel emotional, and the original resentment because of her daughter's rejection was dispersed a lot, and she couldn't say harsh words.

"Brother Jie, Yan'er will never cause trouble for you, nor will she block my sister. I'm going to be very well-behaved. ”

Xinjie didn't answer her words, but just said to Mrs. Zhu: "What should be said, Tang has already made it clear, Tang has made up his mind, please take Miss Li back." ”

"Brother Jie, did you fall in love with that white girl, did she not let you take a concubine? If so, Yan'er can beg her and let her know that Yan'er will not fight with her and rob her. Fang Yan still didn't give up, hiding her face and crying.

Xinjie didn't want to say anything more, so after a brief gesture to Mrs. Zhu and Mrs. Ju, he raised his feet and left, not caring what Fangyan was still saying. Mrs. Zhu suddenly became angry again because of this, and no one paid attention to her being left here like this. Mrs. Ju is still feeling for herself.

And although Fang Yan saw from her fingers that Xinjie had left, she still kept saying: "Let Yan'er go and beg Miss Bai..." As soon as she stopped, the little girl stood up straight, without sorrow, and with anger written on her face. She fell in love with Brother Jie a few years ago, and has been waiting for her aunt to propose, who knows that the poor sour woman who came from nowhere, took his wife's place, and didn't let him take a concubine. It's so hateful, one day she'll make her die an ugly death.

Mrs. Zhu looked at her granddaughter's face that turned very quickly, and there was a faint sense of uneasiness in her heart, this girl was not as well-behaved as she usually looked, she was a big-hearted person, if she didn't settle down early, she was afraid that something would cause trouble. Although she also wants to be able to do this family business, but now it seems that it is not easy. After being in charge of the family for many years, Mrs. Zhu began to think about whether to choose other young people in Luoyang, and it seemed that she was going to start to see each other quickly. She stood up, was helped by the mother-in-law next to her, and went out to get into the car. Not long after the car left the prefect's mansion, the old lady began to take stock of the right people in Luoyang, and before she could figure out a clue, she heard that she didn't want to hear Fang Yan talk to her mother in a cruel and indifferent tone that she had never seen before: "Mother, go back and write to your aunt, tell her that I will marry into the Tang family no matter what, I can't marry Brother Jie as a wife, I can be a flat wife, I can be a concubine." If she really can't marry me to Brother Jie, find a way to let me marry the other young masters of the Tang family, as long as she can enter the Tang family, we can talk about whatever conditions she wants. Didn't she fall in love with the Li family's property left to me by her father? I can give her the biggest shops in the south of the city that my dad left me. If she had killed the woman surnamed Bai, I could give her all the shops of the Li family in the capital. ”

Mrs. Zhu listened to these cold words, saying that killing a person was as plain as killing a cat, and she felt hairy on her body. Is this still my granddaughter?

Madame Ju was very calm, she had long known that there was a cold side under her daughter's innocent exterior. When she was five years old, she ran away with the other children in the barracks because the family dog did not play with her, and when she came back, she hung one foot and tied it to the water tank, and whipped it for a long time, until her hands were sore, and then she threw the whip and lit a torch, and went to burn the dog alive. Since then, Mrs. Ju has known that her daughter has the blood of the Zhu family in her body, and that Mrs. Ju's grandfather and father, as well as her two brothers, are extremely cruel people. Be a humble gentleman in front of people, and revenge in the shadows is endless. She was reluctant to go back to Zhu's house because she wanted her daughter to stay away from the home full of calculations. But now it seems that the daughter has not only inherited the cold-blooded blood of the Zhu family, but also learned the shrewd calculations of her father, the Li family. When she was young, Mrs. Ju behaved like her daughter, her family was rich and powerful, and she was a little unscrupulous. But after her husband died, she finally repented, and when she dreamed back at midnight, she would have nightmares, perhaps this was the retribution for being too ruthless when she was young.

"Yan'er," Mrs. Ju hoped that her daughter's life would be smoother: "Don't be so radical. That white girl didn't provoke you, so why do you have such a deep grudge and want her life. ”

"Who says she didn't provoke me? If she messes with Brother Jie, she provokes me. A poor sour woman who came to the house, without a father, a mother, and no foundation. With her aunt's methods and the connections she has run in the Tang family in the past few years, it will not be difficult to kill her. ”

"Do you think that something happened to the granddaughter-in-law selected by the old lady of the Tang family, and the Tang family can't find out?"

"Well, do you think that if there is a better choice, and the original person chooses some accident, will anyone bother to check it? What's more, if my aunt can't even do this, how can she gain a foothold in the Tang Sect? If she didn't have the means, how could she keep my uncle without another woman by my uncle's side for so many years? Do you really believe what outsiders say, the Tang family men love? ”

Mrs. Ju and Mrs. Zhu glanced at each other, Is this a fifteen-year-old girl? Looking at the expressions of her grandmother and mother, Fang Yan was even more convinced that she could convince them: "Besides, mother, don't you regret it now?" No grudges? If it was you who could marry into the Tang Sect at the beginning, how would you be today? The men of the Tang family all have a good skin, how handsome do you think my uncle is more handsome than my father? In addition to appearance, all the men of the Tang family are capable and promising. My aunt is in the army, how much glory does the general's wife have? If you were willing to fight for it, you wouldn't be marrying a lieutenant. Do you say that you have not touched your uncle's thoughts in your heart? You have also seen it in the past few days, although Brother Jie is not the eldest son of the family, but Mrs. Tang trusts him, Baihuatang has long been firmly in his hands, and now he has given him the authority to meddle in Baicaotang. His status in the Tang family is no worse than that of the eldest young master. I don't need to say much about the current situation of the Tang family. A woman marries more than just dressing and eating. I don't just want men. There's a lot more to be done. Could it be that the Zhu family only wants to be a businessman? Can't it become a family of honorable relatives one day? Brother Jie is now a member of the prince's staff, if the prince ascends the throne, is it difficult to guarantee that he will not become an important minister of the court? Don't you want to have a powerful grandson-in-law? ”

Speaking of this, she paused, and then looked at Mrs. Zhu: "Doesn't grandmother want to have someone to carry Brother Lin and Brother Hua in the future?" "Lin and Hua are both Mrs. Zhu's beloved two grandsons, both of them are very hard-working, have passed the township test, and are ready to take the official career. The status of the Tang family's relatives is naturally a shortcut for them. Hitting a snake and hitting seven inches, Fang Yan is very good at grasping her grandmother's mind.
