Chapter 61: The So-called Mixing (2)
Xun Qing dyed / bed and slept not long after. I was woken up by the bellflower.
"Girl, Mrs. sent Mama Chang to bring someone to call the girl." Kikyo stood in front of Xun Qing's dyeing bed.
Xun Qingran blinked, and saw Mama Chang standing in the middle of the house.
"The third girl is awake, just get up quickly, don't let your wife wait."
I don't know what urgency the Fang family has, this Chang Mama came directly to her bedroom. Thinking so, Xun Qingran exchanged glances with Kikyo and got up to get dressed.
"If you want to call me, just send a little girl. It's so late, why bother Mama to come over in person. Xun Qingran looked at Mama Chang from the dressing mirror.
Mama Chang had no expression on her face, "The girl is polite, the old slave is just a slave, just listen to his wife's orders." ”
"I don't know what my wife is looking for me, so urgent? Can the eldest sister, second sister and fourth sister go together? ”
"The girl doesn't need to ask, she'll find out in a moment."
Mama Chang made a face and refused to say more.
If you want to say that the other party is loyal, Mama Chang recognizes the second, and no one dares to admit the first. Xun Qingran couldn't ask anything, so he didn't ask anymore. It was definitely not a trivial matter for the Fang clan to wake her up from bed in the middle of the night, so she had to see the tricks.
Mama Chang led the way in front. took Xun Qingran directly to the upper room of Si'an Courtyard and withdrew.
Fang sat on the couch and saw Xun Qingran coming, and smiled and beckoned Xun Qingran to sit beside her.
"Ma'am."
Xun Qingran bent his knees and walked to Fang's side.
Fang's smile was blowing in the spring breeze, and he pulled Xun Qingran to her side and sat down.
"I came to you so late, it's a big deal, I want to ask you what you mean."
"Madame, please."
"Your eldest sister has already promised someone, and you have reached the age of marriage. I'm worried about it all night, and I want to find you a suitable person. This is a major event related to your life, there is no one else here, what kind of candidate do you have in mind, tell me, and I can help you plan. ”
Xun Qingran looked at the kindness on Fang's face, thought for a moment, and replied respectfully: "I dare not forget what Mrs. taught me from time to time. Marriage events, parents' orders, matchmakers' words. It's all up to the lord and wife. ”
"You kid, I've been taught to be too obedient. There are only you and me, mother and daughter here, if you have anything to say, just tell me, I can make decisions for you. If you are too shy to speak up, you are misleading yourself. Your father has an old friend who has just passed away and wants to renew his life and propose to your father, and your father wants to promise you to him. Come and ask me what I mean. I thought, let's ask what you mean first. ”
Old friend of Master Xun, how old is this?
"It's up to the lord and the wife." Xun Qingran admonished herself to be calm, and still replied in a flat voice.
Fang Shi stared at Xun Qingran for a long time, then let go of Xun Qingran's hand, "You kid, this is your last chance, if you don't say it, I will give you to this family tomorrow." ”
Xun Qingran didn't speak, looking like he was resigned to his fate.
Fang snorted impatiently, glanced at the white fungus soup on the small table next to him, and saw that Xun Qingran was still sitting there honestly, not knowing how to get up and serve, but feeling that it was useful.
"You're young and too shy. Let me ask you, what do you think of Brother Long? ”
"Oh?" Xun Qingran was dazed, this topic seemed to be too jumpy.
Fang waited for a while, but didn't see Xun Qing's voice, so he had to continue to ask, "Let me tell you, Brother Lang has already taken care of your Zheng family's aunt." Come and propose marriage to me, to marry you. Your aunt of the Zheng family said that Brother Lang had already taken a fancy to you, and you also liked him, and he dared to propose marriage only after getting your approval. ”
Fang Shi looked at Xun Qing's dyed face, "I also strongly approve of this marriage, it is a good thing to be close to each other." We are mother and daughter, you and I will be honest. If Brother Lang didn't lie, I would have told the master immediately, I rejected the marriage, how about letting you marry Brother Lang? ”
Fang looked at Xun Qingran with a smile.
Zheng Yuen Long would say such things, didn't he know how difficult her life was under the Fang family? Cheng Yuen Long has always been thoughtful and not such a careless person.
Besides, the Fang Clan would suddenly become so kind? Xun Qingran believes that even the worst people have a time when their conscience is discovered. But Fang's ......, maybe, but the odds are too small.
But the choice in front of you is too tempting and confusing. On one side is Zheng Yuanlang, and on the other side is a middle-aged and elderly uncle who is the same age as Master Xun, and even a grandfather.
As long as you are not stupid, you know that you should choose Zheng Yuenlong. But this is based on the premise that both options are real.
"My daughter is young and ignorant, and she listens to her wife for everything."
"You're not going to be honest with me yet. You say, you are the same sisters, why is it that the gifts that Lang Ge'er gave you are different from others, better than others. Fang said and beckoned outward.
Mama Chang came in with two models of Western sailing ships. Fang took it. Look at it carefully.
"Well, it's different. The material is different, the carving is also more detailed, there are small characters on the hull, like a painting, I think it is a Western character. ”
"Madam, the old slave has already tried. The one you said was from the third girl's house, and the other one was from the second girl. The old slave put both of them in the water, the third girl, if you move here, the boat can go, and the second girl, but she can only float on the water. Mama Chang said on the side.
Fang nodded, put down the model sailboat, and smiled at Xun Qing.
"You still don't admit it?"
Xun Qingran was now completely sure that the Fang clan didn't have good intentions at all when he came to her, he was trying to pour dirty water on her. If she takes this basin of dirty water, can she marry Zheng Yuenlong?
Xun Qingran deeply realized what hatred is.
"What does Madame want me to admit?"
Fang Shi, who asked this, was stunned for a moment, "Naturally, Brother Lang treats you differently from other sisters, you also like Brother Lang, do you have contacts in private?" ”
"Ma'am. This one from my second cousin, I put it on Duobaoge, and I never touched it. I don't even know what my wife said about these differences. My wife can ask my girl, or the two sisters of the Zheng family came the day before yesterday, and said that this sailboat is not ordinary, but I didn't pay attention to it. are also cousins and sisters, and the second cousin sends me and the eldest sister and the second sister the same every time, but the fourth sister will be much thicker. It's the same thing, and the fourth sister's is better than ours. Could it be that according to Mrs. Yi's meaning, the fourth sister likes the second cousin. Do you have a relationship in private? ”
I really don't want to talk so well, but if you force me not to say it, Xun Qingran said in his heart.
"You ......, you're still hard-mouthed, what's the matter with your fourth sister?" Fang Shi sank his face, "Then let me ask you again, where is your wooden bracelet?" ”
"What wooden bracelet?" Xun Qing was puzzled.
"It's the wooden bracelet that your eldest sister and fourth sister bought back and gave you when you went to the temple fair."
Xun Qingran sneered in her heart, her face was impassive, and she still said lightly: "That wooden bracelet, Mrs. Fei forgot it, I picked it up and looked at it, but the fourth sister liked it, asked for it, and gave me a bead flower." I gave the pearl flower to the red silk, and the girls in my house knew it, and the people in my wife's house had seen it. ”
"Why did your fourth sister like that bracelet? You liked it, and then you deliberately asked your eldest sister to take it from your fourth sister and give it to you, isn't it? ”
"I don't understand what my wife said. I've never been, or worn any wooden bracelets. ”
This is true, Xun Qingran is full of confidence.
"Obviously, you asked for the wooden bracelet, but now the wooden bracelet is in the hands of Brother Lang. You still say you have no personal affairs? ”
Xun Qingran stood up.
"I was brought up by my wife, and the rules were taught by my wife. I can't criticize what my wife does. My wife came to me in the middle of the night and told me this. I'm stupid, but I'm not stupid. My wife kept talking about marriage, but she wanted to frame me for having a private relationship with someone. What is the rationale for this? Is there a mother who treats her daughter like this? Is this the wife's rule? ”
Fang Shi looked up at Xun Qingran, and she suddenly found that the girl with a blurred face who seemed to be lying under her feet yesterday suddenly grew taller than her at some point. The willow eyebrows that stood up slightly were actually full of evil spirits. Those clear apricot eyes reflect everything clearly. Xun Qingran at this moment, where is the usual submissive appearance.
Fang's heart suddenly felt a little weak, but he recovered in a moment. The concubine who grew up in her hands, what is she afraid of.
"If you don't admit it, I'll call someone to confront you."
Fang's grandmother worked hard to keep her mouth shut. Mama Chang turned around and went out with a person.
"Peony?" Xun Qing was surprised.
"Tell me about the wooden bracelet." Fang's command to the peony.
Peony kept her head down.
“…… When the eldest girl saw that Jasmine was tired of the wooden bracelet, she remembered that the third girl liked it, so she wanted to come. When she came out of the wife's house that day, the eldest girl took the three girls to talk in the pavilion, and gave the bracelet to the three girls, and the maid saw the three girls accept it with her own eyes. Later, the maid saw Second Master Lang holding the wooden bracelet, looked at it like a baby for a while, and then put it in his arms. ”
"Madame, as I have already said, I have never had any wooden bracelets. If you don't believe me, you can ask the girl next to me. It's peony, who doesn't know that she has bad eyes. The eldest sister often scolded her, just because she had bad eyes, and asked her to find something, which was right in front of her eyes, but she couldn't see it. I don't know when my eyes are so good, the second cousin lives in the outer courtyard, since it is a precious thing, how can he take it out in front of a girl, and how did the peony girl see it so clearly. ”
"I ......, I ......" Peony was speechless.
"There is no excuse for the sin that you want to add. I didn't know where to make my wife angry, and I didn't complain about how she wanted to punish me. It's just the girl's reputation, which is equivalent to life. My wife defiled my innocence ...... out of thin air, I can't please my wife, I'd rather die, please ask my wife to look at the face of the master, and don't affect the eldest sister, second sister and fourth sister. Xun Qingran said, picking up a pair of scissors from the table next to him.
"You ......" Fang couldn't imagine that Xun Qing was so intense, and he didn't know whether he was angry or frightened, and his hands trembled again.
"Stop!" Someone shouted.
