Chapter 187: The Fan Family

An Shi couldn't react for a while and didn't answer, and stared at Fan Xiru holding his hand, the expression on his face seemed to see something unreasonable. The scene was cold for a moment, and the Jing family, who was closest to her, was secretly surprised in her heart, wondering why the wife suddenly became rude, and hurriedly glanced at the old lady, and sure enough, she saw a slight look of surprise on her face.

Chunying cheered up next to her, thinking that the show was about to start? I wonder if Miss Fan will be angry if she has a hot face and a cold ass?

To her surprise, Fan Xiru didn't feel embarrassed at all, but smiled proudly and said to Yijun: "See? Even my eldest cousin is on my side! β€œ

Yijun was secretly happy that An Shi's cold reaction had made the old lady lively, and when he heard Fan Xiru's words, his expression was stunned, and he suddenly felt a little powerless. Did this Cousin Fan really not find out that his wife was rude to her, or did he find out but pretended not to find out? Seeing the innocence and calmness in the other party's eyes, Yijun was shaken, pouted and said, "I don't have the same knowledge as you!" You are a guest, and the sister-in-law naturally wants to let you! Then he rushed to the old lady's side: "Old lady, my granddaughter is so wronged!" The old lady just laughed. Leaving Fan Xiru's hand, An finally reacted, and secretly regretted it, Fang Cai's gaffe was only afraid that everyone had seen it, in order to avoid others thinking that she didn't understand etiquette, it was better to think about trying to remedy it. After listening to Yijun's words, she hurriedly said: "Although it is a joke between sisters, you should also have a sense of proportion, and know what to say and what not to say." Otherwise, it will be seen, but the daughter of our family will not know the etiquette. ”

Then he turned to Fan Xiru again, with a kind smile on his face: "Xiru, don't be surprised, Yijun, this girl is usually spoiled at home, and when I saw you, I was too happy for a while, and I didn't have any sense of proportion." He usually doesn't want to be so presumptuous. ”

Yijun was a little dumbfounded, and then annoyed, and wanted to refute a few words, but he was worried that his biological mother had not had a good time in recent years, and his brother had just returned home. An's psychology was satisfied, but the old lady was unhappy, thinking what was going on with this daughter-in-law today? What a sight to behold! Before the second grandson came home, she was rude in front of her relatives one after another, especially since this relative was still the original daughter-in-law's mother's family, and now it is like this, isn't it equivalent to saying that their Hou Mansion has no eyes, and they have picked a daughter-in-law who does not know the number of etiquette and does not know how to look at people's eyes, and makes up for the lack of the virtuous daughter-in-law of the Fan family?

So the old lady said lightly: "Okay, the children are just joking, Xiru hasn't said anything yet, what are you doing here?!" ”

An Shi was shocked, his heart was full of grievances, and he only felt that the old lady was actually in front of the Fan family, and she gave herself no face like this, which was really eccentric! Could it be that her respect and filial piety to her mother-in-law have been in vain? !

A hint of a smile leaked from the corners of Yijun's eyes and mouth, and she was extremely happy in her heart, but she didn't expect Fan Xiru to surprise herself again, she actually raised a big smile at herself, showing a little white teeth, and said, "Look, even my wife is on my side now!" You've really lost! After that, he jumped to the other side of the old lady, hugged her hand and smiled: "Old lady, everyone in your family is helping me, my words are really right!" What elixir did you eat? Give me a pill, let me take it back to honor my grandmother, so that her old man will be happy and happy? β€œ

Chunying secretly wiped her sweat, and said in her heart that if this Miss Fan is not a genuine stupid girl with no heart, she is a master who pretends to be a pig and eats a tiger. This is a bit similar to the third young master, but the third young master is only a simple human boy on the surface, and if others have a bad attitude towards him, he will also react.

I don't know what Miss Fan's true face is, which one is it?

Yijun almost glared at Fan Xiru, but the old lady laughed happily: "You kid, you are still so good at pleasing people." Since I have entered Beijing, I will simply stay, talk more with my wife, and let me have more fun. The attitude towards An's was also softened: "The evening incense hall is all sorted out?" Coarse mother-in-law and girls have been assigned? I know that Xiru entered Beijing earlier than we expected, but her uncle and nephew rarely came, and they were entertained no matter what! ”

An replied cautiously: "The daughter-in-law has been arranged, the uncle temporarily lives in the Zhuying Pavilion in the outer courtyard, and Xiru lives in the Evening Fragrance Pavilion, and the two places have been assigned manpower, and the family has also been instructed, so they will never dare to be careless." The old lady can rest assured. After a pause, he glanced at Fan Xiru, then lowered his head and hid the resentment in his eyes: "Xiru entered Beijing for the draft, and now there are still a few months left for the election, and the daughter-in-law thinks, you can't waste a lot of time in vain, why don't you take the opportunity to walk around and see the scenery in Beijing?" ”

Fan Xiru looked surprised and nodded again and again. An sneered in his heart, and then said to the old lady: "In addition, the daughter-in-law has dealings with many housewives in Beijing, and she is quite compatible with several of them. ”

Fan Xiru's face flushed, and she lowered her head embarrassedly, and the old lady nodded kindly: "This is reasonable, then go to King Jing's Mansion to ask for peace first." Their relatives are always more reliable than outsiders, and Princess Jing can speak well in the palace. ”

Ahn's face froze, and he smiled and bowed his head.

The old lady smiled faintly. Holding Xiru's hand, he patted it and sighed: "Although I am extremely honored in the palace, I can't see my relatives, like Princess Jing, it's a blessing." I don't know what your family's plans are, but you know that I always love you, and if you have something in your heart, just tell me. Then he pointed at Huo Yi: "Your sister Huo Yi is even the queen's mother, every month or two, there is always a chance to enter the palace to meet Feng Yan, so you are very familiar with the rules of the palace. ”

A hint of surprise flashed in Huo Yi's eyes, but he soon showed a faint smile and gracefully gestured to Fan Xiru. The crimson on Fan Xiru's face faded slightly, and she shyly walked over and took Huo Yi's hand and said, "Please also ask my sister to teach me more." "It's a salute. Huo Yi hurriedly got up and responded with a smile: "Don't dare to be, my sister just comes to me." After saying that, he smiled again, ran back to the old lady, said a few words in her ear, and looked at Huo Yi with a smile, the old lady laughed and slapped the back of her hand: "Nonsense"

Huo Yi was a little inexplicable, silently glanced back at Dong'er, and then looked at Chunying: "Add a red peony makeup box, put a pair of white jade hairpins in it, and a carved copper ruler, and send it over at dinner." Chunying bowed her head.

The reason why she is so cautious is not that she is doing it too much. Huo Yi added a gift, according to her guess, firstly, because the old lady attached much more importance to Fan Xiru than she expected, and secondly, under the attention of many parties, Fan Xiru was very likely to be selected, and at least she would marry an important family affair, so for Huo Yi's family, this ally must be grasped. It's just a few small gifts, plus a few reminders before the draft, you can become friends with this naΓ―ve girl, such a good thing couldn't be simpler, how can you give it up plainly?

What's more, even if Fan Xiru didn't choose and failed to get married, Huo Yi only lost a few medium-value gifts, and showed her friendship in front of the old lady and the Hou Ye, where did she suffer?

The young ladies and ladies who were thinking about it went to dinner after chatting, and the Hou Ye also set up a sumptuous banquet in the front yard, inviting guests from the house to accompany him and entertain his brother-in-law who had not seen him for many years.

Although she did not have a deep relationship with Fan's husband and wife, when she was alive, her family was very quiet, and Fan did not show the slightest jealousy when she was devoted to Dong Mengyao, who she knew in the past, but reminded herself several times that she would give Dong Mengyao some silver taels to the past, so that they could take more care of Dong Mengyao. The An family has to come every month to ask for some benefits, and the Fan family never makes trouble for the Hou Mansion, but secretly solves the trouble for him several times, and the two brothers of the Fan family are rising step by step, such in-laws should be well connected.

Fan Zhifang drank a few glasses of wine, smiled and listened to the jokes of the Qing guests, but did not say much, after three rounds of drinking, he put down the glass, pressed his forehead and said: "I'm really sorry, I don't drink well, it seems that I can't hold it." Hou Ye hurriedly said: "In this case, let's withdraw, the coming day is long, you have been on the road for a long time, and you are tired, so you can rest tonight." Fan Zhifang got up with a smile, but shook for a while, Hou Ye was closest to him, and hurriedly stretched out his hand to support him, feeling him press on his arm, his heart moved, and said: "You are really drunk, I will help you go back." After a few more words of advice, he really helped Fan Zhifang to go to Zhuyingxuan.

When he arrived at the place, Fan Zhifang went into the house and drank a cup of tea, then straightened up, how could he look half drunk? Hou Ye smiled and stroked his beard and said, "Brother Zhifang, but you have something to say to me?" ”

Fan Zhifang sat down with a smile and said lightly: "Ming people don't say dark words, so I'll get straight to the point." I heard at home earlier that the emperor won the Huo family's fleet, but the operation was not smooth, my brother-in-law didn't know what to think? (End of chapter)
