The Fang family's mansion fell into chaos, while the Ning family's mansion in Beiliu was quiet as usual.
It's quiet and even a little deserted.
Mrs. Ning put down the tea in her hand heavily, causing the maid in front of her who was replying to tremble in fright.
"Why don't you participate? Our Ning family can't afford Dengshan, so we still don't dare to do it?" she said, "Why are they asking? How did we do it last year during the 15th Five-Year Plan? Of course we will do it this year."
The servant girl retreated out loudly.
Mrs. Ning let out a long breath.
It's almost August, and preparations for the Lantern Festival on the 15th day of the 15th are about to begin, but the county comes to ask the Ning family whether they are still preparing for the lantern mountain. It's really annoying. Is there any need to ask about this kind of thing? But any respectable family in Yangcheng will do it.
, and their Ning family has always been the first.
Mrs. Ning also knew why the county came to ask. Naturally, it was because of Ning Yan's dismissal.
Thinking of this made Mrs. Ning even more angry.
These guys look down upon others.
Mrs. Ning's eyes fell on the table. Two opened letters made her look calmer. One was from Ning Yunzhao, and the other was from Mrs. Ning Er. Both letters mentioned the same thing.
Not only was Ning Yunzhao not implicated in Ning Yan's demotion, but he became more and more valued by the emperor. It was reported that he would be promoted to a higher level before the year.
If Mrs. Ning Er only said this in her letter that she was doubtful, she would feel that she was trying to comfort her, but Ning Yunzhao also said so, so there would be no doubts.
Her son doesn't need to talk to comfort people, her son only needs to actually do something to comfort people.
Look, it won't take long for these people to know that their Ning family is still the Ning family with high authority, and her son will also become the pillar of the Ning family.
Mrs. Ning's eyes were full of pride, but she thought of something and looked a little sad, and sighed softly.
Although he had established a successful career, he still failed to start a family.
She picked up the letter from Mrs. Ning Er. Mrs. Ning Er wrote and mentioned several marriages in the letter. The lady from the other side's family was of excellent character and appearance. However, Ning Yunzhao refused them all and invited Ning Er.
Madam doesn't want to tell him any more marriage proposals for the time being, she wants to wait.
Why wait? Mrs. Ning Er did not say clearly, but she mentioned that Miss Jun returned to the capital.
Which Miss Jun? Mrs. Ning also heard about it. In the previous paragraph when Duke Cheng Guo announced his merits to the world, he mentioned this Miss Jun. She actually became Duke Cheng's daughter-in-law and led troops to save the people and fight in the north.
Naturally, the Fang family in Yangcheng made such a big event even more exaggerated. It spread throughout the streets and alleys. In everyone's eyes, Miss Jun was as omnipotent as a god. Who still remembers the orphan girl who was vulgar and made so many jokes?
.
She had almost forgotten it, but it was obvious that her son could not forget it, especially now that Mrs. Ning Er said that her original marriage to Duke Chengguo was also a fake, and she had been praised by the emperor for clearing her identity.
It’s fake again. This woman’s marriage has been faked so many times. Is it still true?
Yes, the marriage with Ning Yunzhao was true.
Mrs. Ning shook her head and felt a little lost. Because of this woman, her daughter got married early and was detained by her mother-in-law and was not allowed to return to her parents' home. Her son was also so old that the marriage was not possible, and the family became a little lonely.
Do you regret what happened at the beginning? If you had recognized the marriage at that time, you might have a grandson now, and whether the miracle doctor in Beidi is boasting about his merits, would it all belong to their Ning family? So now at home
It must be lively, right?
"Madam, madam." A servant woman walked in, interrupting Mrs. Ning's trance, "The city is very lively."
Mrs. Ning hummed.
"What's so exciting?" she asked half-heartedly.
"Something happened to Deshengchang," the servant said.
"I heard it in a daze. Is there no money left?" Mrs. Ning said.
People with some family backgrounds have businesses in the bank. Although Mrs. Ning threatened to stop doing business with the Ning family because of the break-up of the engagement, as Miss Jun became famous as a miracle doctor, many people in the Ning family continued to do so, either openly or covertly.
It is said that if you exchange money for money in Deshengchang, you will be blessed by a miracle doctor, so Mrs. Ning turned a blind eye.
The matter of silver has always been a matter of great importance to one's wealth and life. Deshengchang's sudden inability to redeem the silver naturally caused an uproar, and Mrs. Ning also heard about it.
According to everyone's speculation, Miss Jun spent the Fang family's money fighting in the Northland to save people.
"War is the most expensive thing." Mrs. Ning said, "The court can't afford it. The Fang family is really overestimating its capabilities."
The servant girl shook her head hurriedly.
"No, madam, it's not that we have no money, but the Fang family is in trouble, and the two young ladies are going to fight for the family property." She said with bright eyes.
Mrs. Ning was stunned.
"Two young ladies fighting over the family property?" she asked.
"Yes, it is said that Mrs. Fang agreed to treat them as sons and divide the family property. Now that the young master of the Fang family is in good health, Mrs. Fang refuses to admit it, and the two young ladies started to quarrel." The servant woman said.
, although the news came out in just a few words, the majority of people had enough imagination to complete the matter.
Family secrets and family property disputes have always been everyone's favorite excitement.
After the death of Mr. Fang and Mr. Fang, the disputes between the Fang family, the main family, and the in-laws were so intense that the people in Yangcheng were so desperate that they squatted and watched the show every day. There were also fights every day because of differences of opinion.
As if they were fighting for their own property, they invested themselves in it.
Now that the Fang family has a son, they thought there would be no more fights over family property. Unexpectedly, without outsiders, the sisters in their own family started to fight.
"The women of the Fang family are really..." Mrs. Ning didn't know what to say, "Thanks to them for being able to do it."
"What can't be done? How much money will the Fang family get? The two ladies are always in charge of the business. When the time comes to get married, no matter how large the dowry is, nothing can compare to a bank that can make money." The maid winked and said, "
Mrs. Fang is so amazing, the granddaughter she raised is even worse than her."
This praise for being powerful is not a compliment. Old Mrs. Fang is indeed powerful. Back then, she was able to scold, beat, and kill her own mother just for money.
Mrs. Ning shook her head.
"Businessmen are really profit-oriented and ruthless," she said.
The women of the Fang family are really crazy, and any trace of regret they had just now because of what happened at the beginning disappeared immediately.
Ning Yunzhao was just infatuated for a moment, and it would fade over time, but provoking a crazy woman like that would last a lifetime.
Mrs. Ning picked up the Buddhist beads beside her and closed her eyes to relax.
At this time, the streets and alleys of Yangcheng were already bustling with activity. The door of a Deshengchang bank was closed tightly, but this could not stop the idle people gathering in front of the door.
"The ticket number on East Street is open." Someone brought the latest news.
This made the people gathered suddenly excited.
"Don't you listen to the two young ladies there?"
"Old Mrs. Fang looks angry."
"You must be angry. What is this?"
"You can't say that. The two young ladies are also aggrieved. They have been working as cows and horses since they were young. They are not allowed to get married yet. They say they want to find a wife. At such an age, they are sent away in vain. I would not accept it if it were me.
."
"How can women and girls compete for family property? This property belongs to men. Master Fang is happy to give them more dowry because he generously pities his eldest sister. If he doesn't give it, it is only natural. It is really immoral to rob her."
"Hey, when Master Fang was paralyzed in the backyard, why didn't he pity his elder sisters for their hard work?"
The people in front of the door became more and more lively as they talked. There were people arguing, their faces were red and their necks were thick, and they were pulling off their sleeves to argue. The noisy street was more lively than the Chinese New Year.
"It's true that we can share adversity but not wealth." An old man watching the excitement on the street shook his head and sighed, "The ancients never deceived me."
As he finished speaking, someone next to him snorted.
The old man turned around and saw a middle-aged fat man, wearing silk and satin, with a kind face and kind eyes, but the expression on his face was very unhappy at this time.
"Absurd." He said with a roll of his sleeves, turned around and walked away.
This is also a wealthy family. They are probably worried about their children or remembering the family disputes they experienced in the past.
Rich people also have their own troubles, the old man thought with some gloating.
The wealthy man turned into an alley, his face even darker.
Two followers quietly followed from behind.
"Master, what should I do?" asked a low voice, "Are you still loading the car now?"
"Pretend now." The rich man turned around and shouted in a low voice, "There are so many people watching the fun. If we are discovered, you and I will both die."
The two attendants bowed their heads.
"Then Mr. Yuan is still waiting over there..." One person couldn't help but whispered.
Hearing this name, the wealthy man looked a little frightened.
"Old Mrs. Fang, this good-for-nothing, can't even deal with her two little granddaughters, right?" He was annoyed and a bit violent, "Go and tell her that I don't have time to wait for her to comfort her with nice words.
Good granddaughters.”
The follower bowed his head in response and quietly backed away.
Compared to the bustle outside, the atmosphere inside the Fang family mansion was solemn.
"Are you confused? Will we be able to do without you in the future?" Mrs. Fangda said tiredly.
In the past few days, Huo had spoken kindly and said good things, but Fang Yunxiu and Fang Yuxiu had always been indifferent.
Fang Yunxiu lowered his head and looked uneasy, as if she didn't want to do this. Yes, she really didn't want to, but she just listened to Fang Yuxiu.
I don't know whether to say she has no idea or is too stubborn.
Mrs. Fang was too lazy to pay attention to her anymore. The biggest problem now was Fang Yuxiu.
"Mom, the future is the future. Who knows what will happen in the future." Fang Yuxiu said, not anxious or annoyed, with a calm expression, "It's better to make a clear decision now."
Mrs. Fang sighed.
"Let's talk it over carefully. You first open the warehouse and put down the tents," she said.
When she talked about this, her eyes became anxious again.
Ever since Fang Chengyu took over the business, she and the old lady had let go. Deshengchang only recognized Fang Chengyu's seal and order, and Fang Yu's right to embroider cloud embroidery was promised by Fang Chengyu. Now Fang Chengyu is still on the road and has not returned.
, so much so that they couldn't resolve the situation.
"If you have anything to say, let's discuss it within our own family. Why let outsiders laugh at it? What's the good of it?" Mrs. Fangda said, "Yuxiu, you are not such a confused child."
Fang Yuxiu smiled and was about to speak when Yuanshi's shout sounded outside the door.
"The old lady sent someone."
This voice was actually a bit frightening.
Mrs. Fang looked out through the curtain and saw a dozen tall and thick servants walking into the yard, holding sticks and ropes in their hands.
She felt her heartbeat stop and she stood up.
"You have annoyed your grandmother." She said tremblingly, "Have you forgotten what your grandmother's temper is like?" (To be continued)
