Jia Rong, the smiling tiger of the Red Chamber

As soon as Aunt Han came in, she saw a large stack of papers lying beside Fang's side, and she knew what it was after a second thought.His eyes lit up immediately, and his steps became brisk, and he blessed himself, and said: "My maidservant has seen my wife, good day, my wife."

Seeing Aunt Han's eyes staring at the information on the table, Mrs. Fang was even more sure of her intentions, and said lightly: "Get up. This hour is no longer the time to greet you, you come here at this hour ? But what's the matter?"

Uncle Feng is a scholar. Although he likes red sleeves to add fragrance, he doesn't like women very much. Apart from Fang's first wife, only the old lady was in charge, and the two maids she gave her and Fang's When the child was born, the two maids who made the decision.There were four concubines in total, among which Aunt Han and Aunt Jiang were promoted as aunts after giving birth to Feng Ling and Feng Li respectively.As for Fang's open-faced two Tongfang, they are still Tongfang girls because they have not yet conceived and had children.

Therefore, Aunt Han and Aunt Jiang, who are both aunts, both gave birth to daughters.It is inevitable that there is a bit of comparison.Although it was just a small fight, it made Fang very upset.

What's more, Mrs. Fang is the wife of the first wife, so naturally she doesn't have any good impressions of such concubines.However, comparing the two aunts, Fang disliked Aunt Han more, because Aunt Han's temper was not as honest as Aunt Jiang's.However, as the main wife, she went to compete with Aunt Han and an aunt, and she was left behind.Therefore, for the two aunts in the mansion, apart from the daily stipulations of asking for safety and serving them, they were easily not allowed to come to the main courtyard.

Aunt Han also knew Fang's temperament, so even if she fought with Aunt Jiang on weekdays, in the main courtyard, she was honest and did not dare to overstep.It's not that she didn't want to, it's just that she had troubles in her early years, but she was dealt with severely by Mrs. Fang, and if she hadn't been born with a big girl, she would have been almost sold out.She just calmed down.Seeing Fang's question at this time, Yin smiled and said: "After all, it is my wife's knowledge. The concubine is not here for other things, but wants to ask. The eldest girl is now old. Her marriage, the wife can do it." There is also a charter? You should know that the youth of the daughter's family is only a year or two, if it is missed, it will be a lifetime thing. Madam thinks what the concubine said, right?"

Fang picked up the teacup and took a sip. Fang glanced at Aunt Han and said coldly, "Kneel down and slap your mouth."

"What?" Aunt Han didn't understand why Fang's face changed suddenly, and her reaction became a little slow at the moment.

Here, Fang Shi was too lazy to argue with Aunt Han, and glanced sideways at Forsythia.Lianqiao immediately understood Fang's meaning, blessed her body, walked to Aunt Han's side, stretched her leg and kicked it.

Aunt Han couldn't dodge in time, she made a hyperbolic bend, and knelt down with a 'snap'.It's just that her figure hasn't stopped yet.Forsythia hit her on the mouth again and hit her twice.

"Ma'am, but what did the concubine do wrong?" Aunt Han was beaten, and the moment she opened her mouth, she felt a burst of pain, and she knew that the corners of her mouth must be red and swollen.Looking up, a trace of indignation flashed across his face, and he asked.

Fang said coldly: "I don't even know what I did wrong? It can be seen that I am a complete idiot. I only slap you twice, and it is already for the sake of giving birth to a big girl." After a pause, he continued: "The eldest girl is the master's daughter and the master of the house. Master and I have to worry about her marriage, and we can't wrong her. You are just an aunt who was born as a maid, so you have no right to intervene in her marriage."

Don't talk about things that don't tell her identity, just because the eldest girl has such a stupid aunt as her, the eldest girl is already disqualified from discussing marriage with Brother Rong.

When Aunt Han heard Fang's words, her complexion turned pale immediately, her lips trembled again and again, and after a long time, she whispered a little bit of unwillingness, and said in a low voice: "Madam taught me the lesson. It's the concubine who overstepped."

"You know that you are wrong. You can correct your mistakes because you are the biological mother of a big girl. It is inconvenient for me to punish you heavily here. Go back and copy the family rules three times as a warning. Cultivate your morality well. "Fang said so.

When Aunt Han heard it, her face was embarrassed again, but she couldn't help it, she just responded in a low voice.

It was a coincidence that the matter happened, at this moment, the maidservant outside raised her voice to report.Said that Uncle Feng was back.

When Aunt Han, who was kneeling on the ground, heard the maid's words, a gleam of joy flashed across her face.But she quickly lowered her head, hid the expression on her face, and bit her lower lip fiercely. Because of the pain, tears welled up in her eye sockets.

Although she bowed her head quickly, she was still seen clearly by Fang Shi, and she snorted coldly in her heart, it has been so many years, she really hasn't improved at all.Thinking that the master is here, can he still make decisions for her?

Just as Fang was thinking, she saw Uncle Feng strode in.

As soon as he came in, he saw Aunt Han kneeling on the ground, but even though she saw her, she didn't express anything.After sitting down, he talked politely with Mrs. Fang, drank half a cup of tea, and then asked, "Madam, but what did Aunt Han do wrong? If it's not a big mistake, for the sake of the eldest girl, I will go around past."

Fang said with a smile: "I didn't intend to do anything to her. It's just that I made a few mistakes, and I'm just punishing her slightly here."

"En." Uncle Feng just nodded when he heard Fang's words, but he didn't take it seriously.

Aunt Han had been waiting for Uncle Feng to make decisions for him, and she didn't want to wait and wait, but seeing that Uncle Feng only said one sentence, and Fang's was only vague, she couldn't help but interjected: "Master, yes It’s not the maidservant’s fault. The maidservant just asked about the eldest girl’s marriage. If she doesn’t want to, she offends the wife. The wife is kind-hearted, so she only asks the maidservant to copy the house rules three times. The maidservant here is convinced.” Glancing at Uncle Feng, let him see clearly, on the corners of his mouth, the red and swollen color left by Forsythia's two mouths coming down just now.

Seeing her like this, Mrs. Fang only brought tea, took a sip, and didn't speak.

But there was a sneer in my heart.Fortunately, she has been by the master's side for more than ten years, but she hasn't even figured out the master's temperament?The master is a scholar, he is the one who abides by the rules and the law. He has a strict distinction between his concubines and concubines. He is well versed in the male masters of the outside and the female masters of the house. He will never say a word if he can not ask about the affairs of the inner house.He didn't remember that she made a mistake back then, and he wanted to deal with and sell her off.The master just refuted it on the grounds that the eldest girl can't have a biological mother whose hair was sold, and told himself that if he really couldn't see it, he only found a secluded courtyard.It's far away, it's enough not to be in front of you.Unexpectedly, she forgot the pain after the scar healed.

Not to mention punishing her, what is reasonable is that he really wants to embarrass her.The master can't speak a word.

She was really born as a concubine, and no matter how many years she was given, she would be something that would not be able to stand on the stage.

Seeing Aunt Han like this, Uncle Feng frowned in surprise, put down the teacup in his hand, waved his hands, and said impatiently: "Madam is right. Your status, it is indeed a little bit strange to ask about the eldest girl's marriage." Passed. The eldest girl is also the wife’s daughter, and her marriage is handled by her own wife. Why are you worrying about it. Okay, since the wife has already been punished, I won’t say much here. I have something to talk to here. Discuss with your wife. You can go down now."

When Aunt Han heard Uncle Feng's words, her face turned pale again, she could only respectfully thank her, and then retreated.

"You deliberately asked people to guard the door, but Brother Rong's marriage has a plan?" After seeing Aunt Han go out, Uncle Feng turned his head and looked at Fang and asked.

Fang smiled and said, "But. Here are a few suitable girls I selected. Master, do you have any impression of her family?" Then she put the ones she selected, including the girls from the Gu family, in the The materials of the four ladies in the room were handed over to Uncle Feng.

Uncle Feng took the documents, looked at them carefully, finally put down the documents, looked at Fang and said, "These people you picked are all very good. I like the granddaughter from Wu Ge's hometown the most. She comes from a scholarly background. Family, grandfather is the elder of the pavilion, and father is also the Shaoqing of Dali Temple who is the fourth rank. After a few years of experience, he must also join the court. Brother Rong will also follow the path of a civil servant in the future. With the support of his family, he will be able to do so in the future I have taken a lot of detours. Furthermore, this girl from the Wu family, I also heard, has a very good temper, gentle and virtuous. Brother Rong's temper is a bit fiery, if the two of them are together, they can encourage each other."

Mrs. Fang was not surprised that Uncle Feng would make such a choice. No matter from her family background or other aspects, the girl from the Wu family was extremely outstanding, so she also nodded with a smile: "Master's eyes are as bright as a torch. This girl from the Wu family is really good. .”

"When you have free time, make more inquiries. After all, it's a major marriage matter, so you can't be careless. In addition, you can also send a letter to Brother Rong. Let him come and have a look." Uncle Feng said so.

Fang nodded in response.He opened his mouth again and said, "Master, besides the matter of Brother Rong, there is also the matter of the elder girl. I also want to talk to the master about it. The elder girl is already old enough to say goodbye. The master also met today. My aunt is a little anxious. I have also selected some candidates here, and the master will take a look, which one is more suitable?"

"You are the eldest girl's aunt. You can decide her marriage. I can still trust your vision." Uncle Feng said so.

Hearing this, the smile on Fang's face became brighter, and she knew that the master would say that.The concept of a male lead outside and a female lead inside has been deeply rooted in the master's heart. If Brother Rong hadn't asked the master earlier, and his brother-in-law had also come over in person, the master might not have been so concerned about Brother Rong's marriage.Although I thought so in my heart, I said: "Although I said so. But after all, I am not the biological mother of the eldest girl. The master still has a look here. How can I say that the eldest daughter is also the daughter of the master. Her marriage, the master As a father, you have no reason to be a shopkeeper. Besides, the master also met, Aunt Han's side...so, the master is still in charge."

Although Fang omitted some words in the middle, but Uncle Feng still understood clearly, clapped Fang's hand, and said, "After all, madam is tired."

Fang said with a smile: "It's human nature. I'm not the eldest girl's biological mother, and the eldest girl didn't grow up under my knees. Aunt Han only has one daughter, so I couldn't help being a little nervous. Besides, what Aunt Han said, It's not bad after all. Marriage is a major event in a daughter's life, and there should be no delay."

Such reasonable words naturally aroused Uncle Feng's sighs, saying that he came back with a good wife.

Fang just smiled at this.So she asked Lianqiao to bring over the profile of a young man who was about the same age as the eldest girl and who also matched her identity.

Uncle Feng looked it over and found that the candidate was the same as Jia Rong's, but there was one more person.Putting down the information in his hand, he said: "The people chosen by Madam are good. As long as the big girl promises which one, as long as she manages it carefully, her life will not be bad in the future. Madam can decide as much as she wants."

"Master, let's pick one and settle down quickly. Otherwise, I'm afraid that some unexpected changes will happen." As he said so, Fang frowned, with a bit of worry in his tone.

Uncle Feng said, "But what happened?"

Mrs. Fang sighed, and said: "It's not that Brother Rong is too good. Aunt Han can't help thinking about it here. I'm afraid that she will be confused for a while, and suddenly the eldest girl will do something wrong. Brother Rong The master knows a little about his temper. If something really happens, it will be too late."

Uncle Feng immediately frowned and said, "You mean, Aunt Han has taken a fancy to Brother Rong."

Mrs. Fang nodded, "That's right." Sighing, she continued, "Actually, it's not her fault. Brother Rong's birth is so outstanding. Aunt Han planned for the eldest girl. She fell in love with Rong." Brother, it's not surprising. Not to mention Aunt Han, even I am very happy to see Brother Rong. Although I also want to let Rong be the son-in-law of our Feng family, but The status of a big girl matches that of Brother Rong..."

"I understand what you mean. The eldest girl's match with Brother Rong is really bad. It's not that I haven't thought about it. But the talents of Rong Rong are worse. I will put the eldest girl under your name, Acting as a concubine, and then prepare a slightly heavy dowry, and promise it to Brother Rong. But the birth, Brother Rong's birth is so outstanding. In this way, the status of the eldest girl is too bad." Uncle Feng also He sighed and said so.

Mrs. Fang nodded: "That's exactly what I mean. It's not that I'm keeping secrets. I can't tolerate a good marriage with a concubine. Although when it comes to Brother Rong, there is no title in the Ningguo Mansion to attack, but Brother Rong With such a talent, his future achievements will be more glorious than a false title. He is also the patriarch of the Jia family, and his wife is also the clan wife. The eldest girl is more than gentle and decisive, and her status is also inferior. Some, although they are the eldest daughter of the master, are the daughters of the maidservants, and they really cannot bear the heavy responsibility of a clan's wife."

"What madam said is true." Hearing Fang's last comment on the eldest girl, although Uncle Feng felt a little uncomfortable, he knew it was true.Then I read it again, and finally took out a copy of the information on the young men of the five people that Fang gave just now, "Since that's the case, let's do this. Let's finalize the eldest girl's marriage first. As for Rong Brother Rong’s marriage, let’s wait for a while, first send the situation of these girls to Brother Rong, let him understand. After the elder girl’s marriage is settled, then invite Brother Rong to come to discuss in detail.”

Fang immediately picked up the veil, covered her mouth, nodded, and said, "I'm here to listen to the master."

Uncle Feng also nodded.

With Uncle Feng's nod of affirmation, Fang quickly acted, and within less than ten days, he had already settled on the marriage of the eldest girl. The other party was one year older than the eldest girl. He already has the reputation of a scholar, and he is not a so-called poor scholar. His family is also a wealthy country gentry, with hundreds of acres of fertile land.

Aunt Han was naturally dissatisfied with such a marriage, but after being severely reprimanded and punished by Uncle Feng, she dared not speak.

Compared with Aunt Han's disappointment, although the eldest girl is also disappointed, she has just begun to fall in love with Jia Rong, and the relationship is not deep.After being called over by Mrs. Fang, after reading it twice, she felt sad for a while, and then she gave up her thoughts.
