Chapter Seventy-Five: The Zhou Family's Present Report
Li Xiangzhi's attitude towards the Zhou family is not the same as the Li family's attitude towards themselves.
Fang Qingshi looked at Li Xiangzhi with great interest. Was he blinded by a ghost in his previous life? Such a wicked family was hard to find even with a lantern.
It's ridiculous but also bitter. If I don't have to do it again, I will be laughed at in the human world, and I will be laughed at by ghosts even in the underworld!
"Sister-in-law, sister-in-law?" Li Xiangzhi noticed that Fang Qingshi's expression became a little penetrating, and called out tentatively.
Fang Qingshi calmed down and nodded with a smile: "It's a good idea. Since she and another man have to raise children, naturally she can't stay in the Li family anymore. Besides, the life in the family is not easy now. You go back and follow
Xiangcui, let's discuss it and ask the Zhou family to send the person there in addition to the money, and any amount of it will be used as a dowry for you two sisters. It can be considered as something she saved for you as a mother."
Li Xiangzhi was overjoyed in her heart. Money is a good thing. If nothing else, look at the eldest lady, she looks like a stupid pig. She deserves to be treated with respect even though she is a magistrate. She secretly inquired to herself that this magistrate didn’t have any money before he got rich.
She is supported by her father-in-law's family. If it were not for the purpose of becoming an official, it is very likely that she would marry into her husband's wife.
My mother-in-law is not that capable, but she has money and can use it to win people's hearts and rouge and gouache. The maids all look the same, but with her appearance, she must be outstanding.
In front of Fang Qingshi, how could the young Li Xiangzhi have any hidden thoughts?
The Zhou family can also have a taste of what it feels like to be truly sold. This is what she likes to see. It is best for her mother to be sold before Li Jingrui comes back. Then it will be lively. The family background of the last step of becoming an official in the imperial court
Innocent, tsk tsk tsk, Li Jingrui was able to keep it a secret in his previous life. In this life, he can firmly pin the big label of deceiving the emperor on him.
Li Xiangzhi swallowed her saliva and asked cautiously: "Sister-in-law, is this really possible? It's not nice for others to say that our juniors are unfilial."
"There is someone you can ask for." Fang Qingshi said: "The Sixth Master is a scholar, and he is the most prestigious person in Lijiazhuang. You are right to ask him. This filial piety also depends on who is right. Whether Zhou or others
If you are hanging out with a man and she dare not tell her that you are filial, that would be unfilial to your father who has been dead for many years. Besides, with such a mother, your marriage will not be easy to handle."
This speaks to Li Xiangzhi's heart.
Not being afraid of others saying that he is unfilial, not letting Mr. Zhou have any say in his marriage, and being able to get money for dowry, this is not something that can happen to everyone.
"Sister-in-law, no wonder your life has gotten better and better since you left home. You are such a smart person." Li Xiangzhi said this sincerely.
Fang Qingshi smiled and said nothing.
Li Xiangzhi didn't stay long and stood up: "Then I'll go back."
When he walked to the door, he found that Fang Qingshi had no intention of sending her away. He stopped and turned around: "Sister-in-law, my uncle hasn't been engaged yet. If Xiangcui marries her, we will get married right away. Sister-in-law is considering this matter.
, If you think it works, I will come back with Xiangcui."
"The lintel of the Fang family is too low. Both Xiangcui and you are destined to be wealthy. Don't stir up this matter." Fang Qingshi's face darkened.
Li Xiangzhi didn't dare to offend Fang Qingshi at the moment. Before the matter was done, Fang Qingshi could do bad things with just a few words, and went back without waiting for what Fang Qingshi was saying.
I thought about going back immediately, but I walked outside the door and turned around and came back again. I still don’t know the outcome of Zhou’s return to her parents’ home to discuss it. If she was sneaked up and knocked out the child in her belly, all the previous efforts would be wasted.
Waiting patiently until dark, the Zhou family's uncle led the donkey to send the Zhou family home. As soon as she saw the battle, Li Xiangzhi understood everything. She didn't need to think about it to know that the Zhou family must have promised her mother-in-law a benefit, as long as the child
Now, you can rest assured.
Early the next morning, Li Xiangzhi returned to Qinghe Mansion impatiently.
Mrs. Zhou got the idea from her mother-in-law, and she felt relieved. She carefully protected her belly every day, just hoping to have a boy. Even if it wasn't a boy, her sister-in-law also said that if a civet cat was exchanged for the prince, it would still be a son.
!
The lively scene of Lijiazhuang is all at the door of Fang Qingshi's house. The chatter and laughter in the morning and evening can spread far away. When he has time, Fang Qingshi returns to the mountain village, where the little girl Qinghe is with Aunt Yuru.
With my help, everything went smoothly.
Da'an Escort Agency was very busy. While waiting for the Zheng family to send escorts, they went to Qinghe Prefecture twice to transport the plums and sweet apricots from Qinghe Prefecture. They didn't need to give them to street vendors. Most of them were used by restaurants and restaurants.
Teahouses and prostitute houses are all included.
In the blink of an eye, the Dragon Boat Festival came, and Fang Qingshi came to Luwu County one day early. She didn't have to worry about the shop, and she went to see Tang Xufang.
As soon as they arrived at the gate, they saw Tong Shan walking in the yard with a cane. He seemed to be recovering well. Next to him, Tong Yuexia, a girl with sweat on her forehead from the sun, was practicing needlework with a small piece of cloth.
"Yueyue." Fang Qingshi said with a smile.
Tong Yue raised her head and immediately dropped the cloth in her hand and ran over: "Auntie, you are here. I thought you didn't want Yueyue anymore."
"How could it be?" Fang Qingshi took out a few sweet apricots from the basket: "Wash them and eat them. Where is your mother?"
Tong Yue pointed to the room: "My mother is very diligent in embroidering."
Fang Qingshi rubbed Tong Yue's face and went into the house. Tong Shan smiled and nodded: "Miss Fang is here."
"Brother Tong is getting well soon. When you are well, the whole family will be happy. I'm going to see Xu Fang." Fang Qingshi said and went into the house.
Tong Shan smiled and shook his head. Xu Fang was more than ten years older than Miss Fang, but Miss Fang's tone sounded like she was older than Xu Fang.
In the room, Tang Xufang was just a few stitches away from finishing the embroidery and couldn't relax. When she heard Fang Qingshi's movement, she could only raise her head and glance at it. When Fang Qingshi came in, she said first: "Wait a minute, it will be fine soon."
Fang Qingshi was sitting next to him. There were two large bamboo baskets lined with cheesecloth in the room. One basket contained embroidered purses in various colors and patterns, which were very exquisite.
There are cut pieces of cloth in the other basket, which makes it easy to work on.
After finishing the last few stitches, Tang Xufang put down the embroidery booth, got up and walked to the rattan cabinet: "I also said that when I was going to the shop to deliver goods, I asked you what you were busy with. By the way, you are here today.
Already."
Fang Qingshi watched Tang Xufang take out a baggage from the cabinet.
"I have nothing prepared for you. I embroidered two bellybands and some purses for you." Tang Xufang opened the baggage: "There are also Miss Qinghe's, don't dislike them."
Fang Qingshi took it over secretly: "Does anyone still dislike Xu Fang's craftsmanship? That's because he is blind."
When she lowered her head and saw her bellyband, Fang Qingshi stiffened for a moment. The familiar pattern of a phoenix clad in peonies. The first gift Xu Fang gave her in her two lives was a bellyband with the pattern of a phoenix clad in peonies. Even
The materials and colors are exactly the same.
Only this time it's ten years ahead of schedule.
Most women's bellybands are made of lotus flowers, albizia flowers and mandarin ducks playing in the water. Only her personal bellyband is different. Xu Fang makes herself personal clothes every year, either plums, orchids, bamboos and chrysanthemums, or phoenixes and peonies. This is hidden in the details.
The tenderness and care in it are so heart-warming.
"Ah Shi, don't you like it?" Tang Xufang was a little nervous and looked at Fang Qingshi worriedly.
