In Fan's house, Mrs. Fan personally sent someone to send an invitation to Mr. Zhou, a small town in the south of the Yangtze River, that Mr. Zhou's family and the Fan family have a lot of origins, in the past, Fan Gongzi traveled to Jiangnan thanks to Mr. Zhou's care, Mrs. Fan was grateful, not to mention that in the past two years, Mr. Zhou also sent a lot of things to Fan's house.

Mrs. Fan sent someone to send the invitation to her mother's house in the capital, and she had to send it first in a far away place, so as not to delay on the road and miss the day of drinking the wedding wine.

Mrs. Fan is happy today, and she is also dressed festively, she commands many slaves in the mansion to be busy, and she is bound to clean up the inside and outside of Fan's mansion.

When it was almost cleaned up, she ordered her personal maid to open her private vault, move out some precious things from the room, and then all entered Fan Gongzi's courtyard.

At this time, a maid hurriedly came from the outer courtyard and whispered a few words in Mrs. Fan's ear, and Mrs. Fan's face changed, and it was a little difficult to look at.

On the outskirts of Dengzhou, Miss Miao's women's school has finally been completed after two months, and the school has already accepted many half-grown children, almost all of whom come to Mingyue.

Fan Gongzi stood on a swing in the backyard, and Miss Miao was sitting on the swing, she wore a pink Luo skirt today, and the pink lining made her very delicate.

Miss Miao glanced sideways at Fan Gongzi and said, "You will get married next month~"

"Will you come to me more often in the future?"

Fan Gongzi didn't reply to this sentence, just looked at the bluestone ground in front of him.

After waiting for a while, he spoke: "Today's weather is good, suitable for you to take a walk." ”

Miao Xiushu looked at him a little inexplicably, "The weather is good~"

She opened her mouth again, and wanted to ask him, in the future, will he come here often?

But she saw that he didn't seem to hear it just now, and he couldn't open his mouth a second time, but in her heart, she still wanted to ask.

Fan Gongzi still looked at the place in front of him, and then said: "Your women's school has also been opened, what are your plans in the future?"

When Miao Xiushu heard this, what else did she plan?

She thought about it, and became a little confused.

He said, "I don't know, let's live like this for now." ”

If you don't live like this, what else can you do?

Her reputation is not good, she is older, the New Tang Dynasty is open to the people, and it is common to remarry with divorce, a woman's reputation is not good, but she will not be killed.

But she herself was very tired because of the love affair with Xuanzhang.

In the past two years, she has seen a little, but she has not met a suitable man, she has been in her twenties, and almost all men who are her age have become relatives, and those who have not become married, there is only Fan Wenshu by her side, but Fan Wenshu is also going to get married.

Miao Xiushu's face was gloomy, and she pressed it down again, the people around her came and went, now, is he going to leave too?

She exhaled lightly and said, "It's good to live like this, my father and my mother are also with me, and it's good to live a comfortable life~"

Fan Gongzi nodded.

In his heart, women have never only had the road to get married, as long as they have a happy life, whether they marry or not, they have to look at fate to see what they like, just like the bright moon layman, who is also unmarried, but he can live a chic life.

The two chatted for a while, Miao Xiushu sent him out, and the two walked around the street together, walked around, and waited for her to send her back to Miao's house, and then he went to Fan's house.

On the opposite side of the street in Fan's Mansion, a woman and a mother-in-law followed Fan Gongzi all the way, and watched him enter Fan's Mansion carefully, only then did they chop their feet in anger, wave their hands, and walk towards West Street.

On the second day, Zheng County, Cui County, in the backyard of Chengfu.

A young lady wearing a plum blossom smoke-embroidered pink Luo skirt was sitting in the middle of the room and pressing her forehead, her beautiful face showed a trace of disgust, "Nurse, you take someone to Dengzhou to check carefully, do you still have frequent dealings with Miss Miao after Fan Gongzi and Miss Ben are married?" ”

A half-old mother-in-law immediately nodded, and then said: "Miss, that Fan Gongzi is too deceitful, if I hadn't seen it with my own eyes yesterday, we wouldn't have believed it." ”

The mother-in-law who spoke was Miss Cui's nurse, Miss Cui was brought up by her since childhood, the two were very close, and she was very loyal, two days ago she took Miss Cui's personal second-class maid to Dengzhou, it was Miss Cui who sent them to Dengzhou to purchase some precious objects, Zheng County is small, some things have to go to Dengzhou to procure, Miss Cui also wants to inquire about the situation of Fan Gongzi who has a marriage contract with herself~

"Originally, my mother persuaded me, saying that Fan Gongzi had a rumor with a young lady surnamed Miao in his early years, but at that time he was young and ignorant, and Fan Gongzi went out to study for three years, even if it passed, I also thought like that, thinking that I was young and ignorant, and it was good to pass, but now I have made a marriage with Miss Ben, what do you mean by this?"

The more Cui Jingxian thought about it, the more angry she became, "I looked at his portrait, and his appearance also caught my eyes, thinking that he was a teenager, and his character should be a good one, but I never thought about it, but he couldn't figure it out!"

Cui Jingxian picked up the tea on the side and took a sip of it, and continued angrily: "You really saw him and that Miao girl together?"

"But no, the old slave and Zipei were waiting outside the women's school, and they saw them go in, and they went out~"

"Could it be a misunderstanding?" Zipei said with a frown.

Cui Jingxian glanced at Zipei, and then said, "Nurse, you tell me what happened yesterday again~"

"Yes, miss. Yesterday, the old slave and Zipei first took our carriage to Dengzhou, and asked the coachman to wait for the old slave and Zipei outside the city, and the old slave and Zipei entered Dengzhou, and went all the way to West Street to procure, procured some things, and Zipei went to a restaurant to eat, and saw a man and a prospective aunt on the street outside...... looks very similar to Fan Gongzi, the old slave and Zipei took a look at it more, and the guests at the next table also saw it, and whispered, their voices were not small~"

"What did the guest say?

"The guest at the next table said, look, Fan Gongzi is with Miss Miao again, it's really a hero and a sad beauty~"

"And then?"

"Then the old slave and Zipei glanced at each other, and by the way, they pulled a shopkeeper to inquire about Fan Gongzi and Miss Na Miao~"

Speaking of this, the nurse's face became even worse, "Who would have thought, the shopkeeper said very ugly, saying that Fan Gongzi returned to Dengzhou from a study trip to Dengzhou for Miss Miao, and said that he also bought a school for Miss Miao~"

"I was so angry that Zipei and I couldn't even take care of eating, and I grabbed the shopkeeper and asked Fan Gongzi and Miss Miao about it carefully, and asked where the women's school was?

As she spoke, Cui Jingxian's face became worse and worse, her demure face had already become gloomy, and she said: "In this way, tomorrow the nurse, you will take someone to visit again in person, if this is really the case, if it is really after the marriage, then Fan Gongzi is really still in contact with the Miao girl, I will withdraw from him." ”

The nurse nodded, Zipei also nodded, and the other big girl Zishu also nodded.

"It's too much deception, even if I, Cui Jingxian, marry a fool and a deaf man, I won't marry someone who can't be clear!"

"I don't dislike him for having someone else in his heart, he's good! After marrying, he still hooked up with that young lady? Where is this going to be for me Cui Jingxian?"

The backyard of Cui's Mansion in Zheng County is destined to be unable to calm down today, and the woman wearing a plum blossom smoke embroidered pink Luo skirt stood up and hurried to her mother's room with two cruel words.

From early morning to dusk, from night to day, the north wind blows strongly, the smoke and rain in the south of the Yangtze River, and the sunset at dusk stretches the figure of the man on horseback sharply.

After a few days, an invitation was finally sent from Dengzhou to Jiangnan, and when it arrived at Luqiao Town, a small town in the south of the Yangtze River, it was already ten days after the departure date, and the fast horse stopped in front of the academy in Luqiao Town, and the man who sent the invitation knocked on the door of the academy, and it was a lady who came to open the door, and the man explained his intention to the mother, and the lady hurriedly entered the academy to ask Mr. Zhou to come out.

Mr. Zhou was wearing a gray robe, his hair and beard were all white, but he was still in good spirits, and the man outside the courtyard gate hurriedly told him about the matter, and then took out the invitation and handed it to Mr. Zhou, and then got on the horse directly, ready to go home.

Mr. Zhou looked at the big red gilded invitation in his hand, thought of what the man who sent the invitation just now, and smiled, where could he still travel so far to eat that Fan Mansion wine~

However, Mrs. Fan's mind is delicate, and she also knows that sending someone to give him a wedding card for this old thing is not in vain, and she has taken care of Fan Wenshu for a year.

Mr. Zhou smiled at the wedding card, turned around and walked towards the academy again.

He felt sad in his heart, he was an old bone, he couldn't walk, and he didn't have the time to go to Dengzhou so far, but the person who just sent the wedding card said that Mrs. Fan was very grateful to him for taking care of Fan Gongzi for a year, and wanted to thank him in person~

Thank you in person?

Where does he need to thank him back then, as long as Fan Fu cares about his goodness, he will be content.

He glanced at the wedding sticker again, and when the time came, he asked someone to send some gifts to Fan's mansion.

Granny Niu saw the red gilded invitation in Mr. Zhou's hand in the backyard, and said with some curiosity: "Mr. Zhou, Mr. Zhou, which family sent you the invitation?

Mr. Zhou glanced at Mrs. Niu, stretched out his empty hand and touched his white beard and said, "It's an invitation sent by Governor Deng's Shi Fan's family~"

"Dengzhou Governor Shi Fan's family?" Granny Niu had heard that Fan Gongzi was from Dengzhou, but she didn't know that he was the son of the Changshi family.

"It's Fan Gongzi, who has lived in my shabby academy for a year, who is going to get married~"

Mr. Zhou touched his white beard again.

"What? That Fan Gongzi? He's going to get married? He's the governor of Deng?"

"He is the eldest son of the Governor Deng's Shi family~"

"My God, he turned out to be a noble son, I said how to look at his style is not comparable to our son brother in Luqiao Town~"

Granny Niu patted her head, and she also instructed him to help her work~

Oh my God, what did she do~

Granny Niu patted her chest again, whew, but she couldn't figure it out, how could the eldest son of a long history family let go of his humility and go to such a small ravine~

She wanted to ask something more, but when she saw that Mr. Zhou had left, she had no choice but to talk and go back to the stove to work.

After finishing the meal, she called the master and students in the academy to eat together, and left in a hurry~

This thing is too terrifying, she has to find someone to say, but unfortunately An Yue is no longer in the academy, otherwise she would have pulled An Yue on the spot and said this~

Granny Niu walked to the street and entered a restaurant, the restaurant opened in a good location, the room is not big, but the business is excellent, Granny Niu bypassed the guests who were eating, grabbed the shopkeeper and asked him if the shopkeeper was in the backyard?

The shopkeeper knew Granny Niu, she often came to find her shopkeeper, the shopkeeper nodded, Granny Niu let go of him, bypassed him again, and walked to the backyard.

There is not only a large kitchen in the backyard of the inn, but also a large main room, two side rooms, the two little two who greet the store and two kitchen helpers live in the side room together, and there is a side room next to the kitchen that usually puts some sundries.

Granny Niu skillfully walked to the main room, walked to the door of the main house in a few steps, knocked on the door of the main house, a woman's voice sounded in the room, and hurriedly came over to open the door, the woman who opened the door wore a plain light gauze dress, saw that it was Granny Niu, smiled on her face, and hurriedly invited people into the door.

An Yue left the academy at the beginning of this year, and the situation at home has improved, her father's injuries have healed, and her younger brother has not long passed the childhood test. When the accident happened, the uncle's family who turned his face and didn't recognize people suddenly appeared again, and kindly asked her family if there was anything to help with.

I don't know if she has gone through the underworld, and her cheekiness has become thicker, she cheekily took advantage of the fire to rob and borrowed some silver from her uncle's house, and rented this store in the town to open a restaurant, I don't know if she was lucky, the restaurant opened more smoothly than she imagined, and the money borrowed for a year of hard work has already been paid off, and the cost has been earned, not only that, but also saved some silver.

Speaking of opening this restaurant, thanks to the help of Granny Niu and her little son, Granny Niu has good cooking skills, and she also knows some mother-in-law uncles with good skills in the town, and Granny Niu's youngest son is in business, and he has some doorways.

An Yue is grateful to Granny Niu's family, at the beginning of the year, her youngest son got married, she and her father and mother went to give a big gift, and the two families have been going back and forth like this.

"Ann girl, do you know that the Fan Gongzi who used to live in the academy turned out to be the son of Governor Deng's history~tsk~"

An Yue looked at Granny Niu with some surprise, how did Granny Niu talk about Fan Gongzi today.

Seeing that An Yue's face was a little surprised, Granny Niu continued: "You are also surprised, hey, tell me, when I think in my heart, I asked a son of Changshi to help me do chores, my chest, I am shocked when I think about it~"

When An Yue heard this, her face was a little funny, she had long known that he was the son of Changshi.

She opened her mouth to comfort: "It's all over, Granny Niu, don't think so much~"

"Hey, it's in the past~ But as long as I think about it, I feel terrible~"

"Hey, there's one more thing, my old woman wants to talk to you~"

Granny Niu grabbed An Yue's hand, and then said, "Let's sit down first~"

An Yue nodded, and Granny Niu sat on a chair in the main room, "You also sit down~"

An Yue shook his head and said, "I'll make you a pot of tea first, and talk slowly." ”

Granny Niu nodded, let go of An Yue's hand, An Yue bent down to make tea in front of the desk on the side, Granny Niu looked at her back, sighed and said: "Girl An, don't blame me for talking too much, I don't want to talk about others all these years, do you still think about Fan Gongzi?"

An Yueshou paused and did not speak.

"I originally saw you and Fan Gongzi being close, thinking that he should also have you in his heart, but who wants to, he left without saying a word. ”

"Hey~"

An Yue had just picked up the teacup and was about to hand it to Granny Niu.

"Then Mr. Fan is married, and the invitations are sent to Mr. Zhou~"

"Bang~" There was a breaking sound, and the teacup containing the tea fell to the ground, and immediately shattered into several petals, and the tea immediately stained the ground~

An Yue took a step back, held on to the desk, looked at Granny Niu in disbelief and said, "He... Is he married?"

I saw An Yue a little stunned, but he didn't shed a single tear, only stunned, his eyes were a little empty.
