In just one day, the matter of the Fang family spread throughout the capital.

This kind of big scandal of the future brother-in-law stealing the unmarried sister-in-law is an eye-popping thing even in the eyes of ordinary people, let alone in the upper class?

For a while, the people in Beijing no longer asked the greeting that has been in Beijing for hundreds of years: "Have you eaten?" It's a freshly baked catchphrase: "Have you heard?" I've heard that! ”

Restaurants and teahouses also used this incident as a gimmick to attract business. As long as the shopkeeper of one of them reveals that whoever is in my house, or who is the one in my shop, who is the one who is in the Earl's Palace, then the business of his store can be a few streets away from the rest of the competitors.

So for a while, the restaurant and teahouse in Beijing popped up overnight, and many relatives of the Earl's Mansion were turned around, and no one was willing to be left behind.

After the Fang family was assigned more than ten years ago, the Fang family once again became the focus of people's after-dinner meals.

So, similar to all the gossip and predictable, the whole thing became more and more outrageous as time went on, but the details of the night became more and more detailed.

On the second day, even the details of the belly pocket on the second lady of the Fang family on the night of the incident were clear. The public unanimously agreed that the color of Miss Fang Er's belly pocket was delicate water red, but there were some differences in the patterns embroidered on the belly pocket.

Several restaurants represented by Huibin Restaurant must have embroidered lotus flowers on their water-red belly pockets, while several teahouses led by Yunfang Teahouse believe that the belly pockets are embroidered with mandarin ducks playing in the water. The two sides argued endlessly, and finally some good people opened the market with this. As for how to seal it. But no one could have imagined it.

But all of a sudden, the water-red cloth in the clothing shop was snatched up. Because the men in the market are motivated by some kind of unspeakable obscenity. They unanimously demanded that their wives and concubines wear aqua-red clothes.

Of course, these are all later words, and they also reflect the sensitivity of the people in Beijing to the direction of business from the side, reflecting the gradual prosperity of the commodity economy after more than ten years of recuperation.

It's a pity that this is something that later generations of economists will study.

Outside, the affairs of the Fang family were already in an uproar, but on the other hand, the Earl's Mansion was calm, and the gate was not opened for two consecutive days, and Count Fang himself took sick leave. This also makes people from the outside world think about it even more.

Early in the morning of the second day of the incident, the old lady of the Fang family also knew about it. She hurriedly asked someone to call Mrs. Fang over again.

"How could this happen? How did it get out? How did you become a housewife! "The old man is old and sleepy. The place where I lived was far away from the place where the incident happened, and when I woke up, the sky had changed.

Mrs. Fang was really not in the mood to deal with her mother-in-law today, she rubbed her eyebrows a little tiredly, and said with a sad face: "Li Gongzi was seriously injured last night, Yan'er was also injured, and she was so scared that she was trembling all the time, where do I and the lord still have the heart to care about anything else?" ”

The old lady said angrily: "You have been the mistress of the Marquis Mansion for so many years. Do you still need to be taught this? At that time, everyone who was there should have been locked up. Don't let the wind get out! You don't even have the means to do this, so what are you going to do? ”

Mrs. Fang was also a little angry in her heart, and she couldn't help but want to refute: You have the means. Didn't the matter of harming the uncle get out at the beginning? However, she still took into account her identity after all, and forcibly did not speak.

The old lady also knew that now was not the time to scold her daughter-in-law, so she had a few words and vented before she calmed down and said, "How is Yan'er now?" ”

At the mention of her daughter, Mrs. Fang looked distressed: "I cried all night, and I coaxed her to sleep just after dawn." ”

The old lady was angry again: "There was such a big thing, why didn't anyone come to tell me last night!" ”

Mrs. Fang was silent, did she want her to say that the lord had instructed the stewards a long time ago that the old lady should recuperate and not disturb the old lady's rest with housework?

However, she has always felt that the old lady has great powers, otherwise how would she know about the private meeting between Li Gongzi and Yan'er? It's just that I didn't hear the news about last night's incident for some reason, and Mrs. Fang couldn't figure it out.

But before she could figure it out, the old lady herself figured it out, don't worry about these things with her daughter-in-law first, she has more important things to deal with.

"What are you going to do?" The old lady looked at her daughter-in-law with a haggard look and said.

Mrs. Fang came back to her senses: "The incident happened suddenly, and neither the lord nor I thought of a good way for the time being. ”

The old lady glared at her: "I have to do this matter." ”

"What are you going to do?" Mrs. Fang has no master, and she also let go of her prejudice against her mother-in-law.

The old lady said categorically: "So far, what else can I do besides letting Yan'er marry?" Before, I said that you weren't happy to let Yan'er marry the Li family, and now you won't be happy! ”

Mrs. Fang was silent, now that Fang Jingyan's reputation has been ruined, if she wants to find a good in-law in the future, she is afraid that it will be difficult, who is willing to marry a daughter-in-law who has a loss of morality? She was silent, that is, she agreed with the old lady's statement.

The old lady nodded with satisfaction: "I haven't gotten home yet." ”

Mrs. Fang really couldn't stand still, so she had to find a chair to sit down.

The old lady has always been tolerant of her own people, and she doesn't care.

Mrs. Fang leaned back in her chair and said very tiredly: "I'm afraid this matter is not easy. The marriage book has been written, where is it possible to change it? It's really a last resort, and she can only be wronged Yan'er and work with others. I only hope that Li Yuan will treat my son sincerely and not let her be wronged. ”

When Mrs. Fang said this, she was really sad and couldn't help sobbing. Where is there anything about your daughter who is not distressed? Holding it in the palm of her hand with her heart and lungs to raise it so big, the biggest hope is that she can have a good home. But now everything is ruined.

The old lady was stunned for a moment before she realized what her daughter-in-law meant by letting Fang Jingyan work with others, her face turned green with anger, and she pointed at Mrs. Fang's nose and scolded: "It's a shame for what you said!" If I hadn't watched Yan'er be born. I have to wonder if Yan'er was born by you! You can say such a thing as a mother! ”

Mrs. Fang cried: "Otherwise, what else? If you hire a wife, you will be a concubine. It was she who was not angry and ruined her future. Besides. Jingyi and Li Yuan have long had a marriage contract, and according to the law of our dynasty, it is impossible to regret the marriage. ”

Modern people's engagement is just a formality, with no legal effect, but in ancient times, it was different, and once the marriage agreement was made, it was difficult to regret it.

"I have already asked Master Hou, according to the laws of my country. There are only three possibilities for breaking the marriage contract. One is the death of one of the parties to the marriage contract. Unable to get married. The second is that after the marriage contract is made, the woman's husband's family does not marry for three years without reason. Another is that the betrothed man has committed a felony, or the woman has committed adultery. ”

After the accident, Mrs. Fang also thought of many ways to save it, so that Fang Jingyan could marry the Li family, and Mrs. Fang also thought of it, but it didn't work. Even if you are a minister, there is no way to treat the law as child's play.

"None of these three will be accomplished. I won't talk about the first and third articles. Article 2...... Although the Li family and Jingyi have been engaged for several years. But at that time, they were still young, and Mrs. Tai agreed with the Li family that she wanted the Li family to wait for Jingyi to be fifteen years old and the year of Lu before coming to marry, which happened to be this year. Besides. I also thought that it would be better to let Yan'er take Jingyi's identity and secretly marry her, and then move Jingyi to Zhuangzi to raise, anyway, after so many years, the Li family is far away from the capital, and the Li family can't recognize who is who, as long as Yan'er stays in Longxi and doesn't return to Beijing, it's fine. ”

Mrs. Fang smiled bitterly: "But the lord went to check the law again, and came back and said that if this matter is discovered, it will be equivalent to the woman's repentance of marriage, and he, who is a father, will be punished with a hundred rods, and then marry the daughter of the original marriage contract." And those who marry in place will either be sent back or reduced to concubines. The lord is not willing to take this risk, if he is punished, his career will be over,"

The old lady shook her head when she heard this: "You guys, it's still too tender." My son is in the prime of life, so naturally his career is important, which is also how it should be, these things are what women in the backyard should worry about, how can they make their husbands embarrassed? ”

Mrs. Fang took out a handkerchief and wiped her tears: "Then mother, what else can you do?" I thought about it all night with the lord but couldn't come up with a solution. ”

The old lady was silent for a moment: "This matter is actually very simple to say, just take the law you just said, even if the second one doesn't work, we can't let the Li family carry the black cauldron." Isn't there a first and a third? ”

Mrs. Fang was startled, she suddenly raised her head, and seeing the faint smile on the corner of the old man's mouth, she swallowed her saliva: "Mother, you mean to ......" is going to take Fang Jingyi's life? She really couldn't say the second half of the sentence, as if after saying it, she was an accomplice.

The old lady glanced at Mrs. Fang: "I know that you are all kind-hearted and don't want to hurt her life, so the only way to do this is to use the third article." As long as there is a daughter of a marriage contract and an affair with someone else, then everything is settled. ”

Mrs. Fang thought about it and immediately shook her head: "This method doesn't work. Yan'er is about to have an accident, and Jingyi has an accident again, what does this make people think of our Marquis Mansion? "She, the mother of the house, can also go to church.

The old lady smiled: "So I said that you are a little tender, who said that it was our Yan'er who had an accident last night?" According to my opinion, it is obvious that Jingyi is willing to be cheap, and she secretly has a relationship with a young guy in the house, and she was caught by the servants in the house when the moon was falling before the flower. Because the two sisters are similar in shape, Jingyi is wearing Yan'er's clothes again, so it is inevitable that the family will recognize the wrong person. ”
