Chapter 396: Remembered
The environment can destroy a person, but it can also make a person.
Sanniang doesn't know how much suffering this man who used to be a dog-like man in Beijing has now become Ding You in the Condor Guard, but in any case, he is not crushed by the suffering, but the person who bravely faces it is worthy of respect.
It's just that even if Ding You has a relationship with the Fang family, I believe that he has no feelings for most of the current Fang family except for Fang Jingyi, and even if he has feelings, it will not be positive. Sanniang didn't want to have anything to do with the Fang family anymore.
"I know, but it's not easy for us to meddle in the affairs of people's inner courtyards, and there's no need for that." Sanniang to Brandy.
Bai Lan understood what Sanniang meant: "The slave and maid know, and the slave and maid will retire first." ”
Sanniang nodded and let Bai Lan go down.
A few days later, Princess Zhuang Jun really went to Wenjiayuan and talked to the Li family about wanting to connect Wang Jing and Fang Jingyan. The Li family got the news from Sanniang's side and was prepared. first accompanied the princess of Zhuangjun to pull a bunch of things. When Princess Zhuangjun finally came back, the Li family sighed that Wang Jing, like Wang Zhang, had already decided not to marry for the time being before gaining fame. I asked the girl from the Fang family again, but she could delay it for two or three years.
The man can wait, but the girl's family can't. What's more, the countess seems to have the intention of marrying off her daughter earlier. After hearing this, Li only shook his head and said that it was a pity.
Although Princess Zhuangjun felt that she was fortunate to have made such a trip, she was a little dissatisfied that the matter was not done. But Li said that Wang Jing didn't talk about marriage in the past two or three years, so presumably the result of his own county king wanting to marry his daughter was the same, so she looked a little relieved.
In the end, he came out of the Wen family and went to Fang's house to talk to Countess Fang.
Countess Fang had already asked someone to visit several households, and she didn't have to ask him for Wang Jing's case, and she only said sorry after listening to Princess Zhuangjun's words. I didn't feel too disappointed.
Princess Zhuang Jun saw that the matter was not done, and the Fang family did not say anything, so her heart was naturally relieved again. Although they are busy in vain, they should be regarded as socializing.
Soon after Princess Zhuangjun left the Fang family, Countess Fang lost her temper.
Originally, she had already seen the two families, and she was happy in her heart. Someone outside came to report that the old lady had asked her to come and talk.
Although the old lady is not very popular in the circle of noble ladies in Beijing. But in the Earl's Court, there is still a good old lady, the countess is a smart and knowledgeable of current affairs, and she cares about her reputation very much, so she is naturally respectful to the old lady. It has also maintained a good public image externally. In order to eliminate the bad remarks about the Earl's Court from outside.
So the Countess went quickly to the old lady.
I didn't want the old lady to drive out all the people who were waiting close to her.
"What has Yeona been up to lately? Every day when you come to me to say goodbye, you disappear. When she was younger, she was willing to stay with me, my grandmother, and she couldn't get rid of her. "The old lady doesn't look very old. That pair of charming Danfeng eyes contributed a lot.
The countess naturally wouldn't tell her mother-in-law, Fang Jingyan has grown up in the past few years, and she heard some bad rumors about this grandmother outside. deliberately stayed away from her, not wanting to be dragged down by her grandmother in the future, so that she would also be labeled as unvirtuous.
Speaking of which, this old lady of the Fang family is also quite sad, she has been planning for her sons and grandchildren all her life, but these people enjoy the noble status and large wealth that she fought for fame not to earn for them, but no one is grateful to her, but is ashamed of her. This daughter-in-law is forced to be filial. Be respectful of her.
It's just that she herself is in the game, and she doesn't realize it.
The Countess made up a few good reasons to coax the old lady.
The old lady didn't really pursue this. She asked, "What about the girl?" Haven't had any more recent episodes? ”
The countess glanced at the old lady and said carefully, "Jingyi looks really good." The daughter-in-law is about to tell you, now that Jingyi has reached the age of being able to marry, her uncle has come to the capital to ask for marriage...... Why don't you do it? The dowry was also a ready-made gift left by the lady back then. ”
Hearing this, the old lady lowered her head and looked at her fingers, but did not speak. The Countess was a little apprehensive.
Seriously, she is actually still a little afraid of this mother-in-law. The old lady is only an ordinary kind grandmother when she is facing her sons and grandchildren. But the Countess remembered what she had heard, the old lady's treatment of Fang Jingyi over the years, and the things she had done when she was young to help her son win the title, made the Countess feel that as soon as she entered this room, she felt an eerie atmosphere.
Although she is the head of the house in this house, Mrs. Tai also hides many things from her. In order not to touch the taboo of the old lady, she rarely cares about the affairs of this courtyard.
After a long time, the old lady finally said, "I heard that you have been helping Yan'er visit her mother-in-law's house recently?" But it was a different story.
When the countess heard this, she secretly screamed in her heart, and she was only anxious to help her daughter find her in-laws, but she ignored the feelings of this old ancestor.
The countess immediately said: "The daughter-in-law is envious when she sees someone marrying her daughter, so she casually inquired about it, and she didn't really decide which household, and this kind of big thing is of course for you to decide in the end." ”
The old lady nodded, she was generally satisfied with this daughter-in-law: "It's good that you understand." ”
Seeing Guan, the Countess breathed a sigh of relief. But in the next moment, this breath was raised again.
The old lady suddenly said, "What's the matter with Yan'er and that kid from the Li family?" ”
"Mother, what...... What's going on? The daughter-in-law didn't understand. This kind of thing is naturally to be completely denied, even if it is his mother-in-law sitting in front of him.
However, the old lady obviously did not take her daughter-in-law's denial to heart: "You don't have to hide it from me, I have heard about it." Yan'er, she and the Li family kid have recently gotten closer. ”
The countess's face turned pale: "Mother, who did you listen to?" How to ......"
The old lady waved her hand and said, "You don't have to be nervous, only I know about this, how can I joke about Yan'er's reputation." ”
The countess's face looked a little better.
The old lady groaned, "What do you think of that kid from the Li family?" ”
The countess was stunned for a moment, unable to understand the meaning of the old lady, so she said truthfully: "I heard that he is the only son of the Li family, so his identity is naturally speechless." The people are also very white, and they are very famous in the local area. ”
The old lady nodded, her expression a little unpredictable: "This was carefully selected by Mrs. Tai back then, and naturally it is one in ten thousand." For a bad point, that is, Longxi is a little far away. ”
There's something strange about the countess, isn't it good to be far away? The old lady doesn't necessarily like Fang Jingyi much, and she is out of sight when she marries farther away.
The old lady didn't know what she thought, she was silent for a while, and then said, "Have you seen the dowry that Mrs. Tai prepared for that girl?" ”
The countess shook her head: "Mrs. Tai has moved the things to her dowry Zhuangzi, and she has already said that the Zhuangzi is also left to Jingyi, and she has already put the deed to the princess and princess for her to take care of." ”
It can be seen how much Mrs. Tai is defensive about the old lady, for fear that the old lady will even be greedy for the dowry she left to Fang Jingyi.
Mrs. Tai suddenly sneered: "Her heart has always been biased, she was like this to her two grandsons back then, and she didn't change even when she died." The son I gave birth to is also her own grandson, and my granddaughter is also her great-granddaughter, but she only remembers that useless grandson, and Fang Jingyi, who was born to him! When Mrs. Tai got married, why was it just ten miles of red makeup? Even the fist-sized Night Pearl has a big turn. There are even more rare antiques, and when I first got married, I heard some old people praise the scene. ”
The Countess was shocked: "The Lady has so much dowry?" ”
The old lady glanced at her daughter-in-law: "You are young, so it's natural that you haven't heard of it, and we haven't seen those things in our Fang family." Because she left all her dowry to Fang Jingyi, she moved to Zhuangzi together. ”
The countess saw her mother-in-law's somewhat distorted face, and hurriedly smiled: "These are also hearsay, and they cannot be counted. ”
The old lady snorted lightly, and did not argue with her daughter-in-law.
"She made a good calculation, and she took advantage of her eldest grandson's room for everything, but what could she predict a few years later? I'm afraid that the girl's life is thin and she won't be able to enjoy this blessing. ”
The Countess was taken aback, and what this meant......
She only guessed that Fang Jingyi's illness had something to do with her mother-in-law, and she didn't want to be really inseparable! The countess felt a chill in her heart.
"Mother, Jingyi's father is already like that, she ...... She's also pathetic, not as good as ...... Forget it? ”
The old lady looked at the countess and suddenly smiled: "You are a kind-hearted person, but ...... I heard you've been borrowing money from your brother lately? Did you borrow it? ”
The countess was embarrassed and said, "My nephew is about to be promoted, and my sister-in-law said that she wants me to wait a little longer." ”
The old lady shook her head: "The water spilled by the married daughter, you are now a member of our family, how can you go to your mother's family to ask for money?" No one has to laugh at my son. Besides, our Fang family is not without money. ”
The Countess was shocked when she heard this, she had been in charge of the Earl's Court for many years, so she naturally knew that the family had little income and a lot of money. Although the Earl's Court is not an empty shell, it is definitely not very rich. Earl Fang recently asked her for a large sum of silver, and she was about to start preparing Fang Jingyan's dowry again, so she was naturally a little stretched. But Count Fang came to her again to ask for money, and she had no choice but to go to her brother. (To be continued)
