++++++++++++++++++ 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.
