Chapter 463: Deliberation
After Fang Jingyi came out of the main room, she stood under the porch for a long time.
"Miss......" Chunhua reminded softly.
Fang Jingyi came back to her senses and took her maid to the tea room next door, making tea with her hands, and she was concentrating. The third old lady and the late Mrs. Fang liked the tea she brewed very much, and always said that the tea brewed by her hands was different from the one brewed by others, but in fact, she was just more attentive than others. In many things, the key to success is whether you put a lot of energy into it.
But there are many things that you can't do with your energy.
"Let's get in." Fang Jingyi nodded to the maid who was waiting on the side, she prepared two bowls of tea, one for the third old lady, and one for Mrs. Fang.
The little maid who served the tea hurriedly served it on a tray and took it to the main room.
Fang Jingyi walked to the chair in the pantry for the maids and sat down, and this sitting was most of the hour.
"Miss, Madame told you to come in." The maid who had just come in with tea came over to report.
Fang Jingyi nodded with a smile, got up and stood for a while before going to the main room.
The atmosphere in the room was not much different from when she left just now, the third old lady did not move, but the smile on Mrs. Fang's face was more stiff, and the grandmother of the Li family was standing aside with her hands tied, her eyes slightly lowered, but her eyes were moving from side to side, not knowing what she was thinking about. Most of the women in the inner courtyard are masters of disguising their emotions, so that you can't see any information on the surface.
Fang Jingyi stepped forward respectfully and saluted, and then lowered her hand and stood behind the third old lady.
No one in the room spoke, the third old lady picked up the tea bowl and took another sip, the tea in her bowl was already two-thirds less, but the bowl that Mrs. Fang touched in her hand did not move.
Old Madam Fang put the tea bowl on the table at hand, and made a gentle bumping sound: "I have already explained the meaning of the Fang family, you go back and convey it to Old Madam Li." ”
When that Mama Li heard this, she raised her eyes and rolled her eyes. But he immediately smiled and nodded: "The slave and maid have understood what the third old lady said, and she will definitely go back and tell the master." ”
Old Madam Fang glanced at Mrs. Fang, but her words were said to Mama Li: "Your Li family wants to take a concubine, this is not a big deal. But for the sake of the faces of the two families. This concubine must be accepted after Jing Yi enters the door. The Li family is also a famous family, so I guess I don't even know this bit of etiquette, right? ”
Mama Li smiled: "What the third old lady said is true. ”
The third old lady continued to say lightly: "It's just that none of the women from our Fang family will be concubines. Originally, there were two young ladies in this earl's palace, but now only Jingyi remains. A cat or a dog that appeared somewhere else, your Li family is willing to admit that it is your Li family's business, our Fang family...... Nonrecognition. ”
"Third Aunt—" Mrs. Fang was shocked when she heard this. Stared at the third old lady with wide eyes.
The third old lady stretched out her hand to stop Mrs. Fang: "It is said that the origin of this noble and wealthy family is to accumulate good deeds and virtues for several lifetimes before he can vote for such a good fetus, which means that this high-ranking family is not so easy to enter." Again, it's not so easy to come out. When the daughter's family gets married, no matter how reluctant the people in the mother's family are, they will also warn them to 'don't look back', because they are out of this door. There is no turning back. ”
Mrs. Fang's face was a little pale, she had just recovered from her illness, although she was sitting now. But there is a feeling that the world is spinning.
The meaning of the third old lady's words is obvious, the Fang family will not recognize the existence of Fang Jingyan in the future. From the moment Fang Jingyan left the door of the Fang family, the Fang family treated her as dead. So even if the Li family wants to accept Fang Jingyan as a concubine in the future, it has nothing to do with the Fang family. In this kind of environment in ancient times, this was the last road for Fang Jingyan.
Mama Li glanced at Mrs. Fang, and then at the third old lady, and did not say a word.
Fang Jingyi frowned, and looked at the third old lady with some words: "Third grandmother......"
The third old lady said to Jingyi: "Jingyi, just listen, this is a matter for the elders." It is also a decision in the clan. It's not someone who can disobey it. "One sentence is settled.
Fang Jingyi sighed and stopped interjecting.
"It's not too early, I still have something to do in the house, so I'll leave first." The third old lady got up, and Fang Jingyi hurriedly stepped forward to help her.
The third old lady patted Fang Jingyi's hand: "Your mother is unwell, you stay and take care of her." Don't send me anymore. When you have time, you go to the third grandmother's house to sit down, your sisters and sisters are thinking about you, and you used to live in the third grandmother is also happy. ”
Fang Jingyi responded, looked at Mrs. Fang, who was leaning on the seat in a daze and did not respond, but still helped the third old lady to the door of the main room in person.
When Fang Jingyi came back after sending the third old lady, Mrs. Fang still didn't move, she sighed and walked to Mrs. Fang's side and shouted, "Mother." ”
"Miss, you better ask a doctor to come over and give Madame a pulse."
Fang Jingyi turned around and saw that it was the Li family's Grandma Li who spoke.
Fang Jingyi nodded and said politely, "Thank you for the reminder." Mama must be tired, so let's go back and rest first, and if there is any need, just say to the little maid who is waiting in the yard. ”
The grandmother hurriedly smiled and said, "The slave's words have been brought, and I will leave Beijing in the afternoon and go back to report to the old lady." ”
Fang Jingyi paused, didn't say anything, just asked the maid to send the grandmother out.
Seeing that only she and Mrs. Fang were left in the house, Fang Jingyi hurriedly sent someone to ask for a doctor, called two maids by herself, and helped Mrs. Fang back to the room.
Mrs. Fang fell ill again.
"Miss, the maid who was serving in Mama Li's yard learned from a mother-in-law who came from the Li family this time that Li Gongzi didn't know what kind of soup was poured by the second miss. He made trouble in front of Mrs. Li, saying that if he was not allowed to quit this family business, he would leave the Li family with the second lady and never return to the house. Mrs. Li could only rely on him in the end, but Mrs. Li didn't like the second miss very much, she actually fell in love with a niece of her mother's family early on, and wanted to marry her as her daughter-in-law, but when Mrs. Li was alive, she had already settled your family affairs with Mrs. Li. Chunhua leaned into Fang Jingyi's ear and whispered.
Fang Jingyi nodded lightly.
It is obvious that Mrs. Li wants to get closer to her mother's family and the Li family, because she and Li Yuan still have a marriage contract, she has no way to welcome her niece into the door, but she has a concubine room for her son. Just now, the third old lady said that even if the Li family wants to take a concubine, they must wait until the main wife enters the door, otherwise they don't know how to be polite, in fact, they have already slapped the Li family in the face. It's also a shame that the grandmother Chen Mansion is quite deep, pretending not to understand.
"Prepare the car, I'm going to leave the house." Fang Jingyi suddenly said to her maid.
"Miss, are you going out now?" Chunhua was surprised.
Fang Jingyi beckoned Qiu Shi to come over and change her clothes and makeup.
"My mother and grandmother are sick, and I am afraid that they have committed evil spirits, so I will go to the temple to burn incense and pray for them."
In the end, Fang Jingyi naturally didn't go to the temple to burn incense, she still dressed up last time and went to the alley behind the Hanging Pot Medical Hall.
When she got off the bus, she was startled, because there was a tall and fierce dog standing at the mouth of the alley, grinning at her and the two maids.
"Miss—how can there be a dog? Not the last time I came. Chunhua said tremblingly in front of Fang Jingyi.
This generation lives in ordinary people's homes, and some people want to go out to make a living during the day, and they will raise one or two dogs at home to watch the house, which is actually very common in ordinary people's homes.
Today, it was a sturdy mother-in-law who drove Fang Jingyi, and she was about to try to step forward and drive the dog away, but the dog suddenly moved its ears, and then ran away.
Fang Jingyi turned around and saw the tall young man who had seen him three times grinning and walking from behind.
"Miss Fang, did you come to see Uncle Ding again today?" Wang Jing smiled very brightly.
Fang Jingyi didn't expect to meet the prince of the Wang family again today, so she hurriedly bent down and saluted: "Prince Wang." ”
Wang Jing thought for a while: "Uncle Ding should be in the courtyard at this time, you can go in." I'm going to get a drink for Uncle Ding. As he spoke, he added, "I have some other things, so I don't rush back, you can stay longer." He smiled again, turned and left. Give Fang Jingyi's father and daughter a chance to talk privately.
Fang Jingyi watched his back disappear all of a sudden, and couldn't help but be stunned.
"Miss, this boy doesn't look too bad." Chunhua whispered.
Qiu Shi complained a little inexplicably on the side when he heard this: "You also said last time that you thought he was a good person, but you looked away." ”
Chunhua stared at Qiushi.
"Okay, don't talk about other people." Fang Jingyi frowned and said to her maid.
The two maids hung their heads and did not dare to say more.
Fang Jingyi walked towards Ding You's courtyard.
Ding You was waiting in the courtyard for Wang Jing, who had made an appointment with him, to come over to look for him, and when he heard the knock on the door, he came and said angrily: "Come in, come in, what kind of door are you knocking, stinky boy." ”
When Fang Jingyi pushed the door in, Ding You couldn't help but be stunned: "Why are you?" ”
Fang Jingyi saluted him, got up and said, "Wang Gongzi said to go buy wine, and he will come back later." ”
Ding You paused, but said, "You two met again?" ”
Although Fang Jingyi didn't understand what Ding You meant, she still nodded: "I just met at the mouth of the alley." ”
Ding You touched his beard a little incomprehensibly, but unfortunately his current image is very different from those literati and strategists, and this action is inevitably a little weird for him to do.
Fang Jingyi didn't care much about this, she frowned slightly and said, "Father, I have something to tell you." ”
