The third lady, Fang Jinxiu, was not in her room, but she and the second lady, Fang Yuxiu, were learning to write various receipts with ticket numbers.
This is the daily life of the ladies of the Fang family. They are not working as a female celebrity or playing music, chess, calligraphy and painting, but learning various businesses of ticket numbers.
The little girls were chattering under the window about not allowing everyone to enter the garden in the future. Miss Jun scolded the young master in the garden, which naturally reached Fang Jinxiu's ears.
Fang Jinxiu threw the notebook in her hand on the table and hurriedly got out of bed. Fang Yuxiu hurriedly grabbed her.
"Mother has her own judgment, so don't talk too much." She said, looking out the window, "That little girl belongs to Aunt Yuan."
There were some things she couldn't say in depth, after all, Yuanshi wanted to protect her biological mother.
Fang Jinxiu followed her and looked out the window.
"I know that I have a hot temper and she likes to use me as a weapon." She said, "That's because there are some things that mother can't say. She does it for her mother's good, and I do it for my mother's good. As long as it's for mother's good, it's for us."
This family is nice, so what if I just become a gunner?"
Fang Yuxiu smiled.
"Then you go and come back quickly." She said, picking up the account book in her hand again, "Today's homework is not finished yet."
When Fang Jinxiu came to Mrs. Fang's house, Mrs. Fang was telling the old lady about the scholars in Zhaozhou.
"...I'm a little older and a widower, so I don't think it's good." She said, "It's just that it's hard to choose someone in the New Year. I'll wait until after the New Year to find a matchmaker."
Mrs. Fang sneered.
"What else can she find that's good?" she said. "Don't be picky."
Stop here.
"Zhaozhou..."
Zhaozhou is still too far away, and it is also in the north.
Mrs. Fang lowered her head and was about to speak, when Fang Jinxiu walked in.
In front of the young girl, the marriage matter could not be discussed, so the two of them stopped talking.
"Grandma, can you let us siblings move to another courtyard?" She said directly, "This will also allow Jun Zhenzhen to feel comfortable at home, so that we don't bother her."
"What happened to her?" Old Mrs. Fang asked.
Mrs. Fangda winked at Fang Jinxiu.
"It's okay, she just wants to use the training ground in the garden and learn archery." She stopped her words and said with a smile, "This is good, it's better than being bored in the room and thinking nonsense."
"Mom, just provide for her. She doesn't want to learn archery. She just wants to cause trouble. She chases Chengyu in the garden and scolds the paralytic. Chengyu is not allowed to come to the garden. This garden can only be used by herself." Fang Jinxiu.
Said angrily.
Mrs. Fang frowned and looked at Mrs. Fang.
"We just happened to meet each other, we said a few words, I asked, and there was no quarrel." Mrs. Fang Da explained hurriedly.
"Mom, if I have a good temper and don't quarrel, I deserve to be chased and scolded." Su Jinxiu said, her eyes were red, "She is paralyzed, does she still have any humanity at all?"
Paralyzed, paralyzed, these two words sounded like a slap in the face to Old Mrs. Fang's ears.
She reached out to pick up the tea cup and suppressed the slight trembling of her hands.
"That's it, the people in Zhaozhou are very nice." She looked at Mrs. Fang and said, "Go and do it as soon as possible."
Mrs. Fang answered yes.
"The scholar will start his journey back. After the Chinese New Year, people from Zhaozhou will be sent." She said in a low voice.
Mrs. Fang raised the tea to her mouth and put it down again.
"Since we are rushing back to celebrate the New Year, don't wait until after the New Year. If we finish things before the New Year, we can go home together as husband and wife," she said calmly.
Mrs. Fang looked a little troubled, but she still responded.
Fang Jinxiu, however, didn't know what they meant by Zhaozhou Scholars. She thought they were talking about her family's business, and was just anxious to get answers to her own questions.
"Grandma," she said anxiously, "did you hear what I said? Let us go to another courtyard. I don't want to meet her again. Although this house is big, she can't go there without her. She is now pestering her younger brother.
She takes pleasure in teasing my little brother, teasing him and saying that she wants to treat him. If she really feeds him medicine, will you stop her or not?"
"She won't act like that." Mrs. Fang said.
"Mom, why can't she? She said that my little brother is not sick, but poisoned." Fang Jinxiu said, thinking of what she had just heard from the servant, she became angry.
The most vicious joke in the world is to tell a dying person that I can cure you.
"She really has no humanity at all..."
Before she could finish her voice, there was a crisp sound, the tea cup shattered on the ground, and the tea splashed all over Fang Jinxiu's skirt.
Is grandma angry?
She hurriedly looked around, only to see that Mrs. Fang's face was not full of anger, but her expression was stunned, and her hands were still empty.
Apparently he didn't smash the teacup in anger, but it seemed to have fallen off.
"What did she say?" Old Mrs. Fang asked, "Is Chengyu poisoned?"
Fang Jinxiu frowned.
"Grandma, do you believe the lies she said?" she said.
Mrs. Fang did not answer her words, but looked at Mrs. Fang, who was also looking at her, and their expressions became weird and complicated.
It's not that they believed it, but that what Jun Zhenzhen said was really not a lie.
Others didn't know it, but the two of them knew that Fang Chengyu's illness was really caused by poisoning.
Because of the complexity of the matter, this matter was covered up and became a secret. There were only a few people who knew this secret, and Jun Zhenzhen was not one of them.
How did she know?
……………………………………………………………….
When the night light was dim, Yuanshi, who was waiting in Mrs. Fangda's room, rubbed her eyes and put down the account book in her hand.
"My wife won't be back tonight?" she asked.
Mrs. Fang has been in poor health in recent years, and sometimes Mrs. Fang would stay by her side to take care of her.
The girl who was waiting in the room went out and asked, then came back and shook her head.
"My wife didn't say anything," she said.
Yuanshi frowned, which means he was still talking about things.
"Have Miss Third been to the old lady's place?" she asked again.
The girl nodded.
"I went there in the afternoon," she said.
What's going on? The old lady agreed to Miss Jun's marriage, and the family background of the person she chose was reasonable. Logically speaking, the old lady was not the kind of person who couldn't bear to part with her, and she had already offended Fang Chengyu. He persuaded her to let Miss Jun get married years ago.
Is it that difficult?
When it gets dark, people in Mrs. Fang's yard are already walking around.
Mrs. Fang is a very self-disciplined person. Ever since her husband died in an attack fifteen years ago, she has gotten up early and gone to bed early, had two meals a day, and walked in the garden three days to drive piles, regardless of the weather.
It's just that Mrs. Fang, who got up early today, is a little out of spirits, probably because she went to bed late yesterday.
Mrs. Fang's spirit was even worse. She didn't sleep at all last night.
"This is just a joke, just said casually."
While sitting at the dinner table, Mrs. Fang said to Mrs. Fang, and after a night of deliberation, she came to a final conclusion about what happened yesterday.
Mrs. Fang held the chopsticks.
"But, she checked the pulse." She couldn't help but say.
"That was just to tease Chengyu," Mrs. Fang said flatly, "just like when she hung herself with a rope at the Beiliu Inn."
Mrs. Fangda looked a little depressed.
"We think too much. If she really meant what she said, she should come over now and negotiate terms with us." Mrs. Fang slowed down and said, "Care will lead to chaos, because of what she said
If we say anything casually, we will lose our minds, which is simply ridiculous."
This matter was indeed so ridiculous. Mrs. Fang smiled bitterly and nodded.
"Let's eat." Old Mrs. Fang said, "After dinner, we will arrange Miss Jun's marriage. I will go to the ticket office. This is what we should do."
Mrs. Fang responded, got up and served Mrs. Fang the dishes, then sat down herself, and the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law sat across from each other and ate quietly.
After dinner, Mrs. Fang got on the car and went to the ticket office. Mrs. Fang also walked to her courtyard. While walking, she finished telling her family matters and arranged the car at the same time, waiting for her to return to the courtyard.
After Li has made it clear to Yuanshi, Yuanshi can go out immediately, and she will personally supervise the homework of her three daughters.
This is the daily life of their mother-in-law and daughter-in-law.
But when passing a yard, Mrs. Fang couldn't help but take a look.
"What is Miss Jun doing?" she asked.
There is a special person responsible for monitoring Miss Jun's whereabouts. When Mrs. Fang asked, someone answered her after a moment.
"After Miss Jun got up, she first went for a walk in the garden, drove stakes, and then shot arrows. She just had dinner after returning to the house," the servant woman said.
Mrs. Fang's originally calm expression became strange again.
"What now?" She asked again in a strange way.
"Miss Jun is reading a book now," the servant said, and then added after a pause, "I asked you to find a set of golden needles."
Golden needle.
Golden needles are only used to treat illnesses.
It was like a golden needle pricked her heart, and Mrs. Fang's already solidified mind suddenly collapsed.
She turned around and strode back, and walked into the courtyard where Miss Jun was under the astonished gazes of the servants, women and girls. (To be continued)
