With the almost deafening and endless sound of firecrackers, the fourth year of Taikang has arrived.
This New Year in the Fang family is not as lively as in previous years, and there is a bit more anxiety and uneasiness. The marriage of Young Master Fang and Jun Zhenzhen is scheduled for the tenth day of February.
During the first month of the year, without any sewing, Miss Qianjun's wedding dress was ready and hung in the closet in the back room.
"If you are not satisfied, there is still time to change it after the first month." Mrs. Fangda said.
Miss Jun just looked at it and nodded, saying it was good and no need to change it.
There was neither the shyness nor joy of a girl getting married on her face.
It was originally a lie, Mrs. Fangda was a little embarrassed.
But even if it's fake and it's a cover for medical treatment, in everyone's eyes they are still married. If Chengyu gets better in the future, can it still be ignored?
"It doesn't matter in the first place, how could she like Chengyu." Mrs. Fang said, "She didn't like Chengyu before. If we can cure Chengyu."
She emphasized the word "cure".
"She can cure Chengyu's disease, which so many doctors are unable to cure. With such ability, she will look down upon Chengyu even more."
That's true.
Mrs. Fang was silent for a moment.
"Mom, do you think she can really cure Chengyu?" she said.
Unknowingly, Mrs. Fang's tone of voice was a little less questioning than before when she heard about this incident. Moreover, Miss Jun did not do anything good during this period. She was either fighting with this young lady or scolding that young lady outside.
, Yangcheng was bustling with chaos, causing trouble as before and getting worse.
Mrs. Fang's attitude changed instead.
Mrs. Fang seemed to have just realized this.
"I don't know either," she said.
I don’t know whether it’s because I don’t know why I changed, or whether Jun Zhenzhen can cure Fang Chengyu.
We’ll know whether it’s possible this year.
Mrs. Fangda didn’t ask any more questions.
Because there were many things at home during the Chinese New Year, Mrs. Fang was busy. Mrs. Fang sat for a while and then went to Fang Chengyu's place.
Fang Chengyu was moved to another place, and the house he originally lived in was packed up to make a new house, and he would move back there on the day of his wedding.
Fang Chengyu's house was very lively. The three sisters crowded in his house to play cards and cracked melon seeds all over the floor. The little girls were also sitting around eating and drinking in the house. It was noisy but also very festive in the New Year.
Old Mrs. Fang stopped the girls from talking and stood outside the window to watch their excitement.
Ever since he learned that he was going to get married to Jun Zhenzhen, Fang Chengyu had no reaction at all. He only said that he would obey his grandmother and mother in everything, just like they asked him to take medicine.
He was not doing it for himself, he was doing it to appease them.
Old Mrs. Fang looked at the sisters and brothers joking in the room, thinking that next year she might not even be able to see this scene, so she turned around and left with her eyes watering.
The interior and exterior of the Fang Mansion were newly decorated. Because there were so few people, it was even more lively. The boys and girls were also deliberately indulged, joking and having fun at home, and the sound of firecrackers continued one after another.
As Mrs. Fang walked in the courtyard, she could hear the excitement in her ears and eyes, but her heart felt desolate. When her ears suddenly became quiet, she realized that she had reached the courtyard where Miss Jun was.
Why did you come to her?
Miss Jun's courtyard is as before, there are not many servants and girls. Although it is brightly lit at this time, it looks very deserted.
"What is Miss Jun doing?" Old Mrs. Fang asked the maid in the yard.
But the servant girl shook her head and couldn't answer.
Miss Jun didn't like the Fang family's maids and never let them around. Although Miss Jun didn't scold them now and seemed to speak much more kindly, Fang Jinxiu said it was because she was pretending to fool them.
Everyone in the Fang family will reveal their true colors once they become Mrs. Fang, so everyone still dare not come forward.
Old Mrs. Fang stopped the servant's warning and walked in. The curtains had not been lowered yet, and the bright interior could be seen through the glass window.
The little girl was wearing New Year's clothes and sitting on the Kang table. She put her hand on her chin and looked attentively in front of her. She didn't know what she was looking at. The bright lights in the flashing glass reflected her in it. It was warm and peaceful, making people feel calm.
Seeing this Miss Jun actually makes me feel soothed. It's really a funny idea.
Mrs. Fang smiled mockingly to herself, paused and walked in.
There were only two of them, master and servant, in the house. Liu'er was also wearing new clothes, sitting by the wall and playing with shadow puppets in front of the lamp, smiling happily.
Although it was so deserted, Mrs. Fang didn't feel any desolation. Instead, there was a different kind of tranquility, just like the girl's calm eyebrows.
"Grandma is here." Miss Jun said as she got off the kang.
Liu'er put down the shadow puppet in her hand with some displeasure.
"You go ahead and play." Mrs. Fang said without looking at her. She had already sat down on the kang and looked at the chessboard in front of Miss Jun.
The crystal clear black and white characters on the chessboard are indistinguishable.
"Are you playing chess?" she asked.
Miss Jun waved her hand to Liu'er, and Liu'er went to play by herself. The lady bought this for her and told her how to play. She was having a great time.
Miss Jun hummed, reached out and picked up a black stone and placed it on the chessboard.
Mrs. Fang saw that Bai Zi, who had the advantage before, suddenly became confused.
When she was a girl, her family was wealthy. Although she was a merchant, her family also taught the girls piano, chess, calligraphy and painting like the officials did, but her knowledge was poor. The elders in her family didn't care about teaching and couldn't teach well.
I wasn’t that dedicated, and I only scratched the surface of what I could learn. Later, when I became someone’s daughter-in-law, I had no time to have fun, so I naturally left behind the music, chess, calligraphy, and painting.
Later, not long after Mr. Fang passed away, she took over the business and was impatient. She heard others say that piano, chess, calligraphy and painting were the most temperamental, so she took up the piano again, but in the end she couldn't get into it, she just stared at the chessboard in a daze.
Old Mrs. Fang looked at the chessboard without saying anything, and Miss Jun didn't say anything either and started twisting the white pieces again.
The room fell into silence again, with Liu'er occasionally laughing to herself. A quarter of an hour later, with the black piece in Miss Jun's hand finally falling, the chess game was decided.
"Bai Zi lost again this time." Miss Jun sighed.
Mrs. Fang couldn't help but laugh.
"Winning or losing is not all decided by you," she said.
Miss Jun sighed.
"It would be nice if this was the case," she said.
It's really childish. Although it sounds helpless, it doesn't make people feel uncomfortable, but rather relaxed.
Mrs. Fang smiled.
"Yuxiu can also play chess, let her play for you," she said.
Playing chess alone is as boring as playing against each other.
It's a pity that she doesn't have any contact with her sisters at home. Fortunately, after going out several times, she and Fang Yuxiu got along well, which meant that there were no quarrels or fights.
"No, I'm used to playing chess alone." Miss Jun said with a smile.
Didn't anyone play with her when she was in Funing? Yes, she has such a bad temper, she must not be liked anywhere. Of course, for Miss Jun, it's just that she doesn't like those people, so she is still a
People play freely.
Old Mrs. Fang didn't speak any more.
Liu'er, who was playing with shadow puppets, glanced here with some confusion.
In the past, the lady had never played alone during the New Year, but in Funing she was surrounded by people. The bosses and young ladies from well-known families in Funing would all come to play with the lady.
However, the young lady said that she was deceiving the Fang family. This made the young lady look pitiful, so Liu'er turned her head and ignored her.
Without speaking, the room became quiet again, but this quietness did not make people feel deserted or lonely.
Mrs. Fang was silent for a moment and stood up to say goodbye. Miss Jun walked to the door.
"What are you doing here, old lady? Want to watch the young lady play chess?" Liu'er then remembered and asked.
"Probably so." Miss Jun said.
"Look at her free time." Liu'er curled her lips and said.
