Chapter Ninety-One: Not Saying a Word
And Fang Qingyue, the sister-in-law, is only fifteen years old this year.
In the past, when they were young, the wives and concubines of the mothers were fighting, but now that the children are older, they are replaced by children fighting.
Fang Qingyue is the son-in-law and the target of all the concubines, so from the moment he was born, the concubines have united and are ready to fight this only concubine to the end.
Fang Qingyue is also miserable, Qu Zhaoxia has not come out since she gave birth to him, and his aunt Wanyan has not given birth to any of them. Therefore, he is the only one in this faction.
It is conceivable that in the case of eleven-to-one, Fang Qingyue's life has been bumpy.
If it weren't for the fact that he had learned martial arts, his ability to protect himself had been greatly enhanced, and Qu Zhaoxia and Qu Wanyan had been strict, it was difficult to say whether his life could be saved.
Fang Qingyue's family can also be regarded as a scholarly family, so all the boys in the family are also studying, and this time in the township examination, his four brothers naturally also participated.
This morning, Fang Qingyue and his father Fang Wenju called the five of their brothers over and asked them to rewrite their exam answer sheets, and his old man also had a bottom in his heart.
After writing it, Fang Wenju commented on it and felt that the four older sons wrote very well, only Fang Qingyue wrote the most immature.
In fact, this is also a fact, Fang Qingyue is several years younger than those brothers, he started up late, went to school late, and naturally wrote the most tender articles.
After the five brothers came out of the study, the four brothers sneered at each other.
Fang Qingyue was in a hurry to come to Qingbao's house, and he didn't pay attention to them, but unfortunately the trees wanted to be quiet and the wind didn't stop, the more they talked, the more ugly they became, and they scolded Fang Qingyue's anger, and the brothers fought together.
Although Fang Qingyue said that he had martial arts, after all, he was the youngest, and he was still one against four, so one was defenseless, and his brothers took bamboo branches and slapped them in the face several times. Of course, those four didn't eat good fruit in Fang Qingyue's hands, and they were beaten by Fang Qingyue very lightly.
Therefore, the wound on Fang Qingyue's face was not picked, but smoked with a thin bamboo branch.
After hearing Fang Qingyue's words, Qingbao was completely speechless about the chaotic state of his family.
I don't know what men think, don't you get annoyed by marrying so many wives, having so many children, arguing every day, and shooting openly and secretly? A family with many wives and concubines, which family can avoid the tragedy of brothers and brothers?
Especially Fang Qingyue is like this, there are many concubines and few concubines, the more Fang Qingyue can survive, I have to say that it is a miracle.
Fang Qingyue, who had created a miracle, was tilting his head at this time, accepting Qingbao's pomp.
"This potion was given to me by Sister Min, and it doesn't leave a scar when it is smeared, but it hurts a little, you stand up." Qingbao took a cotton swab and gently smeared the potion on Fang Qingyue's face.
This potion really hurt a little, and Fang Qingyue, who was hurting, grinned his teeth, and screamed vigorously.
"Bear with it, the slower you wipe, the longer the pain will be, it's better to wipe it quickly, you will suffer less." Qingbao decisively ignored Fang Qingyue's cry of pain, and the cotton swab quickly wiped it on his face.
Multiple wounds hurt at the same time, Fang Qingyue screamed louder, of course, there was also a show of wanting to win Qingbao's sympathy.
The two of them were applying medicine, and the door curtain moved, but it was Xia Yu and Huang Liuniang who came in.
As soon as she came in, Xia Yu said in a weird way: "Yo, how can there be a man in this big girl's boudoir?" It's too indecent in broad daylight! ”
Qing Baoli ignored her and continued to apply medicine to Fang Qingyue.
Qingbao didn't have to speak, but Fang Qingyue couldn't lose his courtesy, pushed away Qingbao's hand, and greeted the two of them, and then said: "I have some injuries on my face, Sister Qing kindly gave me some medicine, I hurt so much that I came over in a hurry." ”
"In a hurry, you can break into my sister's boudoir? If this matter gets out, my sister's reputation will be over, Fang Gongzi, what do you say about this? ”
Xia Yu's words made Qing Bao stunned at once.
Is she forcing marriage?
Force Fang Qingyue to marry her?
Qingbao subconsciously glanced at Huang Liuniang, and saw that Huang Liuniang was calmly pouring tea, as if she hadn't heard Xia Yu's words at all.
Qingbao immediately understood that wanting to marry her to Fang Qingyue was Huang Liuniang's calculation a long time ago, and today Xia Yu came to force the marriage, and Huang Liuniang acquiesced!
The Fang family is one of the largest families in this city, especially Fang Qingyue's grandfather, who turned out to be a lifter, which is already an unattainable existence of the small Xia family.
Don't think that lifting people sounds like nothing remarkable, but in fact, lifting people's status in their hometown is very important.
Juren already has the qualifications to be an official, and he can be a nine-grade petty official.
After passing the exam, you can get the imperial court, and the whole family is tax-free.
The relationship between the people who were admitted in the same year is also very different, this is an extremely hard relationship network.
What's more, lifting people can still be admitted to the Jinshi, in case one day they are admitted to the Jinshi, then they will officially enter the officialdom.
Qingbao really didn't know that Huang Liuniang still had this kind of thought!
I don't know if she was worried about Fang Qingyue from the beginning, or under Xia Yu's suggestion, she wanted to marry Qingbao into the Fang family.
But no matter which of these two situations is, Qingbao will definitely not let them control their fate.
Seeing that Fang Qingyue was flustered, he wanted to reply to Qingbao, Qingbao didn't wipe the potion, grabbed Fang Qingyue's clothes, dragged him out of the door, stuffed the potion, and said to him: "Hurry up, save others from gossiping about their tongues." Then he winked at Fang Qingyue again and again, signaling him to leave quickly.
Fang Qingyue has always shown his support to Qing Baobao, and when he saw Qing Bao letting him go, he picked up the potion and walked away.
Qingbao's move surprised Xia Yu and Huang Liuniang, and Xia Yu shouted angrily: "You fool, why do you let him go?" I finally blocked him in your room, just take this opportunity to let the Fang family marry you, what a good thing! ”
Qingbao glanced at her and said coldly: "You don't have to worry about my business." ”
With a word, Xia Yu was pushed back, and the angry Xia Yu stomped his feet.
"Mother, you take care of Liuya, I'm not for her good?" Xia Yu saw that Qingbao was so cold, and couldn't help but ask Huang Liuniang for help.
"Big girl, sit down first." Huang Liuniang took out the money of being a mother and said to Qingbao: "Liuya, you have known Qingyue since you were six years old, over the years, he has been in and out of our house, but I have always regarded him as my own son." But you are old, you are always tired of being together like this, and there has long been gossip in the neighborhood, and I, as a mother, am afraid that my daughter will suffer. ”
Xia Yu interjected: "You are always with him, it has already made the city stormy, if Fang Qingyue doesn't marry you, it will be difficult for you to marry out." Originally, I wanted to explain my words to Fang Qingyue thoroughly today, and let him agree to come and propose, if you are engaged, others will have nothing to say. ”
Qingbao found a chair and sat down, bowed his head and said nothing, as if he had not heard their words.
Huang Liuniang coughed lightly and continued: "The Fang family is powerful and powerful, and no matter how many people want to climb high, they can't climb it. You and Qingyue are childhood sweethearts, and the relationship is very good, isn't it just right to marry him? You are a young grandmother when you marry, this family will be yours sooner or later, when the time comes, you will have to rain and wind, even we can be stained with your light! ”
"Liuya, listen to my sister's words, a big family like the Fang family, if you just want to be a concubine for Fang Qingyue in normal times, you are not qualified. Now that you and Fang Qingyue are so good, let's work hard according to the position of the main wife. If you can succeed, everyone has to look up at our Xia family, my sister's waist is also stiff in my mother-in-law's house, my father and mother can follow you to enjoy happiness, and they can all marry a good daughter-in-law with three pillars and four pillars
In the future, with the care of Fang Qingyue's grandfather, the three pillars and four pillars will be tested to lift people, which will be easier than others. Xia Yu painted a bright future, and said spittle.
After listening to Xia Yu's words, Qingbao understood what the two of them had in mind.
They want to pave the way for the three pillars and four pillars by building their own family relationships.
The township examination is the lowest level of the imperial examination, even if it is a bit of a background operation, if it is not reported, no one will hold it accountable. Therefore, some powerful people, through the relationship of activities, it is easy to be admitted to Xiucai.
Probably this three-pillar and four-pillar exam inspired Huang Liuniang or Xia Yu, so in order to let their family show off their talents, they thought about calculating Fang Qingyue.
Next, the mother and daughter talked about the benefits of marrying the Fang family, and they were strict and gentle, and they talked straight to Qingbao until lunchtime, and it was not until Banxia came to invite them to lunch that the mother and daughter stopped the topic.
During this period, Qingbao has always been Xu Shu entering Cao Ying, without saying a word, making Huang Liuniang's mother and daughter angry enough.
Taking advantage of their lunch time, Qingbao found Sizhu, and then asked Sizhu to tell Fang Qingyue not to come to Xia's house in the future, and if there was something, let Sizhu pass the news.
Sizhu didn't understand why Qingbao didn't let Fang Qingyue come, and wanted to ask clearly, Qingbao didn't want him to know the snobbish side of Huang Liuniang's mother and daughter, so naturally he didn't say anything.
Huang Liuniang's mother and daughter wanted to climb the high branches, but Qingbao was not blinded by lard like them.
A person like the Fang family, placed in the whole country, can't be weighted, but in this city, it is a first-class existence.
If his family wants to marry a wife, they will only find a big family that is either rich or expensive to marry, and it is impossible to find a family like the Xia family who has just been lifted out of poverty.
Not to mention anything else, if the Fang Mansion put the Xia family in his eyes, Fang Qingyue had been in and out of the Xia family for six or seven years, and it would be impossible for the Fang Mansion not to move around with the Xia family.
But the fact is that in the past six or seven years, except for the Fang Mansion's housekeeper Hong Bo who came once, the Fang Mansion has never sent anyone to the Xia family, let alone Fang Qingyue's father and mother have come to visit.
What does this mean?
This shows that in the eyes of the Fang family, a small family like the Xia family is not qualified to associate with them, and is not qualified to be on an equal footing with them.
