Chapter 325: Why hesitate
In this way, Fang Dongqiao looked at the four of them, his eyes were a little relieved, he raised his hand slightly, and said with a smile: "Get up, don't be like this, Miss Ben knows that you are all loyal maids." Come, get up quickly. ”
After Fang Dongqiao finished speaking, his eyes drifted over the four of them, and under the gesture of her eyes, the four of them slowly stood up one by one under the four eyes of the four people.
When they stood up, they still looked a little nervous.
"Miss, Miss won't want the four of us in the future, right?" Fang Dongqiao laughed out loud when he saw the four of them look like this. "How is that possible? You are such a capable maid, where can Miss Ben go to find it, if you are still willing to come to Miss Ben to work by Miss Ben when you get married in the future, then Miss Ben is desperate, where will I not want you, I am very reluctant to the four of you. ”
To tell the truth, people can be ruthless, and the friendship between master and servant for many years is also a kind of affection, Fang Dongqiao really wants to marry the four of them, this heart is really a little sour, and inexplicably a little sentimental.
Therefore, when waiting for the Qingluo maid to come in with Ah Qing, Fang Dongqiao looked at Ah Qing and it was not very pleasing to the eye, who told this kid that he was about to kidnap her favorite Qingluo maid, so when she looked at Ah Qing, her eyes were always very sharp and cold.
"Tell me, your son-in-law personally sent you over, is there anything you need to explain to Miss Ben?"
"Oh. Back to Miss Fang's words, the third son of my family said that he still had things to deal with at the border of the Great Zhou, and he might not be able to come back to participate in Miss Fang's birthday next month, so he specially ordered the little one to hurry up and send the gift of Miss Fang's birthday first. In addition, there is also a letter from the third son of my family, which is telling the little one to be handed over to Miss Fang. Whoa, give. ”
Na Aqing took out a package from behind his back, took out a classical and delicate box and a letter, and respectfully handed it to Fang Dongqiao's hand.
Fang Dongqiao glanced at the gift box and Rong Ruochen's letter to her personally, frowning slightly between her eyebrows, and then she nodded lightly.
"Miss Ben knows. The mind of the third son of your family, Miss Ben understands it. Put down the gifts and letters, nothing else, you can go out first. ”
When Fang Dongqiao gave such an order, Ah Qing's eyes fell on Qingluo's body intentionally or unintentionally, which made Fang Dongqiao slightly unhappy.
"Ah Qing, could it be that you forgot to tell Miss Ben about something?"
"No, no, it's fine. The little one, the little one retired. ”
That Ah Qing was stared at by Fang Dongqiao's sharp eyes, his hair stood on end inexplicably, he shuddered, he didn't dare to look at Qingluo more, and quickly retreated from the room.
When he walked out of the room, he raised his sleeve and wiped the cold sweat from his palms.
Miss Fang's eyes were so cold just now, Ah Qing felt that Miss Fang was not in a good mood today, what was the reason? I used to look at him in a good mood, why did I get such a result this time when I sent a letter for my son?
Ah Qing guessed a little puzzled, and Fang Dongqiao at this time was also a little puzzled.
Why did she get into an inexplicable mood today?
Why?
Fang Dongqiao raised his head, rubbed his eyebrows, and his eyes suddenly fell on the two things on the table, a gift box and a letter.
Open it, there is a jade hairpin lying quietly in the box, the style of the jade hairpin is extremely delicate and simple, the white jade is flawless, the whole hairpin is polished smooth and round, and it flashes with a shining light from time to time, if you don't look closely, it is a jade strip with a hairpin tail arc, but if you look closely, you can see that the tail is carved with a pair of lifelike mandarin ducks.
And the appearance of the mandarin duck looked so familiar, Fang Dongqiao spread it in the palm of her hand, as if she thought of something, her mind moved slightly, and an extremely classical wooden box flew out of the medicine field space, and as soon as the box was opened, inside was the blood-colored mandarin duck pendant.
When the mandarin duck carved on the jade pendant is compared with the jade hairpin mandarin duck in the palm of the hand, it is obvious that it can be seen how similar it is, and it is clearly the same carving technique, from the same person's hand.
In this way, what else does Fang Dongqiao not understand?
Rong Ruochen's hint is so obvious, he gave such a mandarin duck jade hairpin as a birthday gift this time, and personally sent someone to send it to her, obviously to remind her that there are some things, some answers, he has been waiting for a long time, she should give him an answer, isn't it?
The blood-colored mandarin duck pendant back then, he once said that if one day, she could tie this blood-colored mandarin duck pendant for him in front of him, then it would be time for him to wait for her answer.
In this way, Fang Dongqiao stared blankly at the blood-colored mandarin duck in her hand, her eyes stopped for a long time, not knowing how to decide, deciding on this thing she had been avoiding.
Actually, she didn't understand it recently, and as time went by, she became more and more hesitant about it.
She doesn't know what's wrong, five years ago, she could decisively make this deal with him in front of Rong Ruochen and become a lifelong partner, that is what she wants, and it is also something she is absolutely sure of.
But five years later, she suddenly found that when she wanted to mention this matter now, and then say with him so firmly and decisively that she could cooperate for a lifetime, she suddenly found that she was very sad, and she couldn't speak.
Why can't you speak?
She doesn't understand, she really doesn't understand, she doesn't understand why she retreats when it comes to the end?
I don't understand why she was so decisive five years ago, but five years later, she has become sluggish, mother-in-law, mother-in-law, so, even she herself looks down on herself, I don't understand how she can be so indecisive and cowardly now.
Standing in front of the window, Fang Dongqiao twisted his eyebrows, stood for a long time, remained silent, and then sighed, and finally put down the blood-colored mandarin duck and jade hairpin in his hand, and then stretched out his hand, slowly picked up the letter on the table, gently opened it, and clearly presented the handwriting in the letter in her sight.
The content of this letter is very simple, just some daily trivial matters, nagging, even paying attention to the weather, let her pay attention to the recent addition of more clothes, so as not to catch a cold at night.
Moreover, he also mentioned that when she is busy with things, don't forget to eat, this habit of forgetting to sleep and eating is not good, and she has to change it.
Again, it's the things he deals with over there, he talks in detail, very detailed, and says that he is very troubled, and the enthusiastic neighbor aunt sees that he is single, and always wants to match him and show him the girl, in this case, there is really a beautiful little girl, who runs to him every day, cares for him carefully every day, makes him good food, makes him new clothes, accepts new shoes, in short, it looks good to him, and wants to take care of him for a lifetime.
And at the end of the letter, he complained very much, to the effect that Fang Dongqiao had never made him a new dress, but he liked to make new clothes for his family and give gifts to his family, but he was always the forgotten one, as if he was the superfluous one in her life, this tone was full of accusations, how resentful and aggrieved. Even when Fang Dongqiao saw this, he would really think about it, did she really treat Rong Ruochen so badly?
Also, as Ah Qing said, he is busy with a lot of things, and on her birthday next month, I am afraid he will not be able to come back. But even so, he still mentioned it in the letter, he definitely didn't forget such an important day as her, and personally sent A-Qing back to give her a birthday gift, and sincerely expressed his apologies, I hope Fang Dongqiao doesn't mind, he really can't rush back.
In this way, after reading Rong Ruochen's letter, Fang Dongqiao had a very complicated mood.
As he said, it was as if he hadn't forgotten her when he did anything, and he had been trying to show her, trying to prove to her, that he was a person worthy of her life, that he was an absolute keeper of his word, and that he was always trying to get closer to the goal in the direction she had given.
And what about her? In the past five years, it seems that she really hasn't taken on anything for this, and she hasn't done anything for him, just as he said, her first consideration is her family, and what she can remember is the birthday of everyone in the family, carefully preparing gifts for her family, and even during the New Year's holidays, she will never forget the gift of her family, even if it is the eldest brother Fang Jingshu who is thousands of miles away, she will not forget to prepare one.
But for Rong Ruochen, she honestly said that she really didn't do anything for him, and she didn't prepare anything for him with gifts, they were all piggybacked, incidental, and sideways, just like he said, she didn't seem to include him in her life at all. Maybe it's because of her attitude, so Rong Ruochen can't afford to wait, he is in a hurry, so he said in the letter that the enthusiastic aunt has matched him to see the girl's house, and listening to his meaning, he seems to be quite useful, and does not exclude the care that the girl gave him, so, he means to remind her that he is still in a good market, if she doesn't make up her mind to make up her mind, if she is snatched away by others, it will be her loss, does he mean this?
Rubbing the white jade hairpin, Fang Dongqiao frowned and was silent.
It stands to reason that she should be happy to watch Rong Ruochen being snatched away, so that she doesn't have to worry about this problem, and she doesn't have to face her family asking her about this matter all day long, so it should be the best result for her, isn't it?
But after thinking about it, she felt that if she really gave Rong Ruochen away, then her family would have to show her another one, and it would be impossible for her to live alone after all, and her family would have to let her marry out.
