In fact, the person who can make Mrs. Xie still care about her status even now is also walking around in Beijing at this time.
Old Mrs. Fang stood under the Zhengyang Gate, smiled and said to her wife beside her: "I don't know if it's my imagination. I haven't been to the capital for so many years, and I always feel that the city wall seems a little short."
When Fang Congwen heard this, he glanced at his old wife and muttered: "That's because you think about it all the time, which invisibly beautifies everything in this capital.
It seems that everything in the capital is better than other places. Even the city wall is much higher than other places. Now that I'm back, when I look again, it's not as high as I thought, don't you think it's short?"
Mrs. Fang then looked away and turned to her husband. She couldn't help but laugh when she saw him just eating the wontons in the bowl with his head down.
"Since you don't want me to come to the capital, why bother writing that letter back? I've been used to living in the south for so many years. If you don't let me come, I haven't thought about going to the capital."
Fang Congwen frowned and hesitated for a moment before saying, "You say that, but aren't you still thinking about it in your heart? I don't know who told the children that they miss their childhood the most in this life."
Old Mrs. Fang couldn't help laughing. "Isn't it normal for this person to miss the past easily when he is old? Don't you miss your youth? Are you willing to be so old that you can't walk and eat?
Can’t eat well either?”
Fang Congwen stopped talking after hearing the words.
Old Mrs. Fang waited for a while, then laughed at him again, "I've been jealous for so many years, but you don't mind being shabby. Think about how his bones have melted in the soil, and you are still thinking about him. I'm afraid you miss him the most in the world."
It’s you who is the one.”
Hearing this, Mr. Fang Congwen blushed and subconsciously looked around to make sure he didn't recognize anyone, then he said displeasedly: "What nonsense are you talking about! Who are you talking about? I don't know at all.
Don't blame me randomly."
"Hmph, after so many years, I can't hide this little thought. I still can't see it. Back then, it was just a verbal agreement from the elders. I didn't even have a chance to see him in person. The same goes for my cousin.
As my cousin called me, you are the only one who is full of jealousy.
If I really wanted to marry him, why did I choose you later? Although he betrayed me first, have you ever seen me feel sad about it? "
Fang Congwen couldn't figure it out, but that person's family background and appearance were much better than his own, so he couldn't get over this obstacle.
At this moment, his old wife revealed what little thought he had in his heart, and he became even more embarrassed. He simply said: "I am already a long time ago. I don't even know what you are talking about, and I don't know how to be careful. If anyone hears it,
Now, I still don’t know how to laugh at you and me!”
Old Mrs. Fang laughed angrily at him and simply turned her back, not bothering to say anything more to him.
At this moment, a woman came over with a smile and said, "This is Old Mrs. Fang! I haven't seen her for many years. She was far away and she didn't dare to recognize her just now. When she saw Mrs. Fang next to her, she
Sure."
Mrs. Fang hadn't been in the capital for many years. For a moment, she thought the person in front of her looked familiar, but she couldn't remember it.
Seeing the other party's conversation, behavior, and dress, I guessed that he was served by an old friend in the past. Perhaps he had played in the same place before, and for a while, he felt a sense of closeness in his heart.
When she heard her say her name, Mrs. Fang suddenly realized, "I thought it looked so familiar! It turns out to be you, Fuyu!"
I heard about your family's affairs when I was in the south. It's really wonderful. How is your old lady doing now? She should be an old concubine in the house. Among us, she is the most blessed."
Old Mrs. Fang admired her sincerely and said: "At first, there were many people playing together, but now they are walking around and scattered, and there are not many people in total. I am rude. Now that I have come to the capital, I can't do it."
I haven’t posted anything since I haven’t seen you for so many years, so it’s time to catch up.”
Mother Shen came here just for this reason. She happened to choose such a lively place and greeted her with such a big fanfare. In the eyes of others, it was just a chance encounter.
Therefore, she did not dare to invite him directly at this time. After all, she was just a servant. Naturally, she was polite and then returned to the house to prepare a post for the old lady.
I just didn't expect that before her post was sent out, the Fang family's post was sent over.
He also brought a letter to Mrs. Xie.
When Mrs. Xie was young, she was considered a leader in front of a group of noble ladies, but she was not top-notch.
On the contrary, Mrs. Fang was the center of attention wherever she went. The little rivalry between the girls only made Mrs. Xie care about it until now.
But now that I saw the polite and gentle tone of the other person's words, and after being really praised by the other person, I immediately smiled and said, "This person is still so hypocritical."
Then he looked at the post sent by Mrs. Fang, and finally nodded lightly and said: "Since she has this interest, then let her do it! After all, I have been living in that small place in the south for so many years, so it is so easy to come here
After arriving in the capital, I have to make her happy for once."
Mrs. Fang was much more direct in her work. After meeting Shen's mother that day, she immediately made an idea and posted a message to invite the sisters who had played together in the past to get together.
It doesn’t have to be in anyone’s house, it can be arranged directly in a courtyard in the mountains on the outskirts of Beijing. Now is a good time to enjoy the snow and plum blossoms.
Mrs. Xie happily agreed, and naturally everyone else was unwilling to join in the fun.
They are all of a certain age, and outside matters are basically left to their children to worry about. Each of them has reached the age where they are most comfortable, but they have also reached the time when they need the most dignity.
On weekdays, people who attend banquets or cocktail receptions at other houses are unlikely to attend because of their self-identity.
Now that we have this opportunity, and we are all familiar people, who is not interested?
It's just that as a result, there will inevitably be some chaos in each mansion, and everyone is worried that something unexpected will happen if their ancestors go out.
When the day came, Mrs. An was busy with her business, and Mrs. Yu gave her many instructions and instructions. Seeing such a filial look, the old lady felt that it was very useful, so she went out in a good mood.
The garden belongs to the fourth prince, and it was specially set aside for Mrs. Fang to invite this group of good sisters from childhood.
Even though these people in Beijing have the opportunity to meet each other on weekdays, they rarely meet in person, so now they become lively when they meet.
When Mrs. Fang saw Mrs. Xie coming, she just stood in the atrium and looked at them and smiled.
Even though her hair had turned gray and the wrinkles on her face could not be ignored, as she stood there like that, Mrs. Xie could still think of her graceful appearance when she was young.
The uncomfortable feeling in her heart disappeared in an instant, and she was reminded of her youth because of Mrs. Fang's smile.
"Long time no see, now I want to say thank you to you, madam?"
Although she said that, there was clearly a hint of teasing in her tone, which was still her original tone.
Mrs. Xie did not show any weakness, "It's not impossible, but it has to be based on seniority. Speaking of which, my third girl is still the aunt of your eldest girl! We..."
She drawled her voice, and everyone else in the room laughed when they heard her words. Old Mrs. Fang couldn't help but said angrily: "I'll give you three points of color, and you actually opened the dyeing workshop! I'm too lazy to tell you more,
Come and take a seat! Do you really think that everyone here is waiting for you, the mother of the chief minister?"
Seeing the smiles on everyone's faces, Mrs. Xie finally felt confident. In such an atmosphere, it would be much easier to talk about some things.
