Chapter 42: The Fang Family
Wang's second daughter-in-law, Zhou, is the daughter of Fang Weimin's colleagues, and she didn't speak so politely, she sighed for a long time before she said, "That Miss Rong really can't see it, just now the little sister was still telling me that she was trying to save Rui and the county lord from the house, and she didn't hesitate to take her body as a hostage, but she hurt her appearance, I said, how can you save people so disregard yourself?" And since you have decided to send people out of the house, tell the county lord in advance, how can you really slap her face? The county lord jumped into the river, and she ran to the yard to pull things that day, giggles, I want to hear how Miss Rong justifies herself? ”
"We know these things in our hearts, just don't spread them around, but in the future, when everyone meets the Rong family, cheer up, alas, your father has been working in Zhuzhou for nearly 20 years, and how many prefects have been sent away? This Ma Yingtian has fallen, and I don't know what kind of one will come again! "The Wang family thinks more long-term, Ma Yingtian and Rong Zhi gave Li Jingyi *, they are proper accomplices, this time I am afraid that it will be difficult to protect myself, and this Zhuzhou Mansion will not know who will sit in the turn?
Zhou's is much more optimistic than Wang's, and he stroked his palms and said, "That's naturally my father, this Ma Yingtian was re-elected only because of Ronghai's strong guarantee, and it will take two more years to serve as a concubine, and the court will directly ask his father to take his position, "This is the same as the prefect of the Zhisheng Mansion, and there will be no need to look at people's faces in Zhuzhou Mansion in the future, and Zhou will be excited when he thinks about it."
The Wang family is not as simple as the Zhou family thought, she glanced at her daughter-in-law, "I know what you think, but don't forget, what kind of territory is Zhuzhou Mansion, in other state capitals, the prefect is dominant, here?" But there is still a governor of the South Road Water Division! There are also generals like him under his command, although the civil and military are not subordinate, but those military Han Qiu Ba, the rank is higher than your father, one race is quite unreasonable, I would rather your father can be far away from this Zhuzhou Mansion, even if he goes to a poorer place to be a prefect, it is better than being angry everywhere here. ”
"What does Mother mean," Zhou looked in the direction of Qixia Pavilion.
It is a natural opportunity to seize, not to mention that this Fangyuan now not only lives with a Ruihe county lord, but also a brother-in-law of the current emperor, Enyi Hou Yunchi!
Wang's gaze slid from his daughter Fang Ruyun to his granddaughter Fang Lihuan, her daughter is like a delicate flower, and her granddaughter is like Xinrui, if she stays in a small place like Zhuzhou for the rest of her life, it will be a great loss.
Zhou's eyes were bright, and he followed Wang's gaze, and instantly guessed Wang's plan, and said with a smile, "Today, I listened to my mother talk about Gu'er for a long time, and the concubine knew that she had been the second grandmother of the Fang family for so many years, but she was actually a frog at the bottom of the well, alas, it would be nice if I could go to the capital to see it......"
In the capital? Fang Ruyun once followed the Wang family to Chengenbo Mansion, although Chengenbo Mansion has declined, but the prosperity there is not something that a little girl like her who grew up in the place can imagine, "Yes, mother, it would be nice if my father could be a Beijing official." ”
Jing Guan'er? As far as Fang Tongzhi knows these six products, when he arrives in the capital, he is nothing, and he is not as good as a pastor, but if you think about the future of your descendants, this is naturally much stronger than staying in the place, "This,"
Wang Shi stared at the blue and white porcelain teacup in his hand, "Wait until I ask what your father means," by the way, write a letter to her father in the capital, and listen to his meaning.
Seeing Wang's intentions, Zhou couldn't help but increase his strength, "Sister-in-law, you are from a scholar's family, I heard that there are many talents in this capital Guozi Prison, and if you enter the Guozi Prison, the future is equivalent to being decided, if our eldest brother and second brother can worship Hongru in the capital, it will be great." ”
Now even the Su family was attracted, the husband was mediocre, the Su family put all their hopes on the only son, if they could find a famous teacher, it would be great, "Yes, our Fang family is not short of wealth, but if you want to really support the lintel, at least you have to have a jinshi to become a jinshi." ”
Fang Weimin stopped at lifting people, because the Fang family was rich, spent a lot of money up and down, and climbed up to Chengenbo's Mansion, which was regarded as a small official, step by step to today, according to his resume, he can go to the six grades of Tongzhi, it is already a smooth career, and it is limited to go up, "You are right, our two brothers are extremely smart, and we can't stay here to delay." ”
This youngest son and eldest grandson, Su Shisheng's eldest grandson Fang Qiyue is the palm treasure of Wang and Fang Weimin, plus smart and clever since childhood, Su personally enlightened him since he was three years old, and now at the age of twelve, Fang Weimin has begun to ask him to prepare for the next year's Tongsheng test, Wang does not think that his grandson will not be able to pass the Xiucai exam at a young age, but he has been admitted to Xiucai, and the people who have come down are not their husband and wife can help.
The Wang family was thinking about her husband's future, the Su family was thinking about her son's fame, and the Zhou family, Fang Ruyun and Fang Lihuan were thinking about the prosperity of the capital.
"Madam, the county lord invites the wives over,"
"Let's go," Hearing Li Jingyi's invitation, Wang got up and dusted off the corners of his clothes, and looked at the two daughters-in-law, "You all be careful, we didn't find out before, the county lord is still a temper." ”
"Yes, I just found out, county lord," Fang Ruyun was used to being at ease in front of his mother and sister-in-law, "the county lord is a very good talker. ”
Fang Ruyun's mouth can speak, but it is not a good word, and then looking at the faint anger on her face, Su Shi nodded, glanced at each other's appearance, and then walked out of the gate of the Jade Courtyard hand in hand.
Although Li Jingyi is the county lord, she is a guest in the end, so when she heard the little maid report that the Wang family and they had gotten off the sedan chair in front of the door, she personally got up and helped her out of Qixia Hall with a smile, "Aunt is here, please sit inside." ”
Wang glanced at Qixia Pavilion, "Alas, I was negligent, at that time, the scenery in this Qixia Pavilion was good, but now I find that the place is really too small,"
If it's just Li Jingyi's master, this place is enough, but there are two more injuries in Lingxinlong, and they have to send someone else to take care of them, and this Qixia Pavilion is not narrow, "Why don't I help you change the courtyard, the Nuanhail Courtyard over there is a big place, and the scenery is also good." ”
Li Jingyi had made up her mind to follow her father back to Beijing, so she didn't have too many requirements for whether Qixia Pavilion was big or small, comfortable or not, she didn't want to trouble the Wang family anymore, she shook her head and said, "Auntie is too worried, I think it's good here,"
Li Jingyi pointed to the west, "Auntie may be thinking that Lingxin and Longyi are there, and there are many people coming and going here, but I feel that if I am closer to the two of them in this way, Lingxin and them have any movements, I can know immediately, and I will feel more at ease." ”
"The county lord is really compassionate, where is this for the maid, and the sister is nothing more than that," Zhou pursed his lips and smiled, and interjected.
Su Shi bowed his head on the side, "Yes, such a Mingist maid is also a good story, but in the end, it is a rite of passage, and when the two righteous maids wake up, I am afraid that they will not feel at ease." ”
The master lives in the East Warm Pavilion, the slave and maid live in the West Room, and there are four maids around to serve, where is this treatment comparable to ordinary maids? That's why Su Shi has this.
Li Jingyi didn't think so, she let the Wang family and them into the house, and said with a smile, "After this incident, Lingxin and Longyi are still my maids, I have decided to let them go as slaves, in the future they will become good citizens, and I will have the grace to save my life, and when they discuss marriage in the future, I will pay a dozen dowries, and who dares to look down on them?" ”
So what? Even if it is a good one, it can't change the fact that he was once a slave, Su wanted to persuade again, but he heard Wang laugh and said, "What the old family said is right, Jing Niang and Lingxin are them, the master is sympathetic, and the slave and maid sacrifice their lives for the main, it is indeed a rare story, and it may be written into the book in the future!" ”
"I don't know if it's written in the book, but when I go back this time, if they are still willing to follow me, I will definitely go up to the fold and ask the queen mother to give them a background, "If you have merit, you will be rewarded, and see if there will be people who will show themselves because of petty profits in the future."
"This is a great blessing," Wang sighed, "Now that the clouds in the sky have dispersed, in the future, whether it is the county lord or these two girls, they will get better and better,"
She stretched out her hand and pointed at the Su family and the Zhou family, "Your two cousins, and Lihuan, you have all met before,"
"Jingyi has seen two sisters-in-law," Li Jingyi got up to give a salute to the Su family and the Zhou family, but was held down by the Wang family, who had been prepared, "Jing Niang don't want to torture them,"
"Yes, cousin, we can't afford this gift," the Zhou family was clever, and rushed to Li Jingyi in front of the Su family, "I have a cousin of the county lord's mother, I don't know how happy I am, Lihuan come over quickly, I have seen your county lord's aunt." ”
Being mixed up by the Zhou family, everyone is not deliberately sticking to these etiquette, Li Jingyi took two pairs of mutton fat hostas with different styles from Hanxiao's hand, and handed them to Fang Ruyun and Fang Lihuan respectively, "I just arrived, and the things haven't been sorted out yet, Ruyun and Lihuan don't dislike it, take it and play." ”
Everyone has seen good things, and when they took a look, they found that this hairpin was warm and pure, and it was a rare good thing.
Fang Ruyun and Fang Lihuan naturally saw that what Li Jingyi rewarded to them was not an ordinary product, Fang Ruyun looked at the Wang family with some apprehension, and didn't know whether to put it away, so she heard the Wang family smile and said, "Let Jing Niang see the smile, if I guess correctly, Jing Niang's two pairs of hostas, I'm afraid they are also on the way, right?" ”
"Aunt Huiyan, this is still after I got married, I once went to the palace to see the queen, at that time, the internal manufacturing department happened to bring in the newly made jewelry, and the mother picked four pairs for me, but unfortunately," Li Jingyi's expression was full of loneliness, "Those two pairs, one pair is carved hibiscus, and the other pair is carved peony, Rong Lan likes it, so she is going to go." ”
"But these two pairs of chrysanthemums and begonias are good for Ruyun and Lihuan," Li Jingyi explained the origin of the two pairs of hairpins, "If you don't like it, you can keep it for reward." ”
Internally made jewelry, people like them, marrying a daughter may not be able to find such a hairpin, not to mention that Li Jingyi is a pair, the Wang family naturally will not push out, and said to his daughter with a smile, "Since this is the case, you can accept it, don't you thank you Sister Jingniang?" ”
