"Haha, okay, okay, why is Mrs. Tian in the mood to come here?"
Liu Xiangxiang said politely: "I was passing by. I heard that they sell pianos here. My piano broke, so I came to buy it."
Mr. Zhang raised his eyebrows: "There are many piano sellers in the capital, and the pianos here are not the best. Why does Mrs. Tian come here?"
Sister Cui stood next to Mr. Zhang. When he heard the other person saying that the pianos in her piano store were not good, she deliberately said with a straight face: "Mr. Zhang, you are right. You are just listening to the music, not buying the piano. How do you know?
I don’t have a good piano here? Is this Mrs. Tian, come on, come in, I’ll show you my piano.”
Liu Xiangxiang smiled slightly, nodded and followed Cui Niang into the gate.
Master Zhang laughed. The person who originally wanted to leave did not leave now. He turned around and followed Cuiniang. He exchanged a few words with Liu Xiangxiang and came to a side room together.
The side room was very large, and there were four servants guarding the door. When they saw Cui Niang, the four servants all raised their hands.
Cuiniang smiled and introduced to Liu Xiangxiang and Master Zhang: "Master Zhang is really bad. Everyone said that I am selling dog meat here. Humph, I didn't care before, but when Master Zhang said this, I became unhappy~"
Master Zhang laughed and said, "I just said this casually, Cui Niang, don't mind."
Cui Niang smiled and shook her head: "How dare I mind you, my little girl? I just want you to see that I really have a good piano here."
Mr. Zhang is also someone who knows a little about music. Seeing Cui Niang's serious look, he stopped joking.
The door opened, and a faint scent of sandalwood hit her face. Cui Niang introduced Mr. Zhang and Liu Xiangxiang into the house, pointed to the harps displayed everywhere in the house and said: "Master Zhang, Mrs. Tian, please take a look at the harps here.
How is the color and quality?”
Master Zhang and Liu Xiangxiang looked at the pianos beside them, one on the left and the other on the right. After looking around, they both thought that these pianos were of high quality.
Master Zhang smiled and said: "It seems that I have always wrongly blamed Cui Niang, haha~~"
Liu Xiangxiang said: "Then I want to buy one. I think Mr. Zhang might as well help me choose one~"
Cui Niang said to Mr. Zhang: "Yes, Mr. Zhang, you know the music, so this is not a difficult choice. Besides, when you get back, you have to rectify the name of my piano shop. I can't let everyone say that my piano shop is a fancy place anymore."
"
Mr. Zhang naturally had to behave when he got an advantage. He nodded and happily helped Liu Xiangxiang choose a good piano. He then promised Cui Niang that he would stop talking nonsense in the future, and he also made it clear to colleagues who came here in the future.
There are also good pianos for sale.
When Mr. Zhang left the piano shop first, Liu Xiangxiang suddenly grabbed Cuiniang and whispered: "Someone asked me to tell you that it's time for you to repay the favor~"
Cuiniang was stunned for a moment, then looked at Liu Xiangxiang and asked in a low voice: "Who is it?"
Liu Xiangxiang said: "Ma Xiaoquan's woman, Fangfang."
"Fangfang~~" Cui Niang nodded, "I understand, how can I help?"
Liu Xiangxiang said: "I will arrange for you to meet as soon as possible." After that, Liu Xiangxiang left with the piano he bought.
Looking at Liu Xiangxiang's retreating figure, Cui Niang exhaled and murmured: "I have been waiting for a long time, I have been waiting for a long time."
...
The next day, Liu Xiangxiang came to Ma's house again, and Sister-in-law Fang was also there. Sister-in-law Fang was a little surprised to see Liu Xiangxiang again.
The explanation Liu Xiangxiang gave was that as a woman, she understood Master Tian's thoughts and she would be a good sister to Fangfang, so she came to see her first.
Sister-in-law Fang was also a woman. Seeing that Liu Xiangxiang was so knowledgeable, Sister-in-law Fang had nothing to say and introduced Liu Xiangxiang into the house to meet Fangfang.
After lunch, Liu Xiangxiang suggested going out for a walk. Since Mrs. Fang was pregnant and it was inconvenient, she arranged for two followers to go out with Fangfang and Liu Xiangxiang.
...
In Cui Niang's piano shop, the three girls took a photo.
Since there were people watching around them, the three women did not say anything important at first, but just made small talk.
Men were not interested in the topic between women. The two men who followed felt bored. Liu Xiangxiang took this opportunity to give each of them a tael of silver and invited them to drink. Naturally, the two men were happy to do so.
After beating the two men away, Fangfang suddenly knelt in front of Cui Niang.
"Get up quickly. Look at you. Let's talk about it after you get up."
Fangfang shook her head and cried: "Sister Cui, you must help me..."
Cui Niang nodded: "Just get up and say it, and my sister will promise you~"
Fangfang stood up, sat down, and wiped the tears from her face.
Cui Niang asked: "How do you want me to help you?"
Liu Xiangxiang nodded and said: "Let me tell you. Fangfang knows it, but I don't know how to organize it. I have read some books and asked myself if I can explain it clearly."
Fangfang nodded.
Cui Niang also nodded.
Liu Xiangxiang hummed and said seriously: "To put it simply, Fangfang's brother and sister-in-law betrayed Ma Xiaoquan. Fangfang came back this time to persuade her brother to follow Ma Xiaoquan, but his brother refused to listen and even wanted to force her away.
That beast Tian Liang."
Cui Niang frowned slightly: "They say Tian Liang has a cruel temper. Xiangxiang, how did you endure this?"
Liu Xiangxiang rolled up his sleeves, and the blue and purple marks were clearly visible.
Fangfang and Cuiniang were extremely surprised. Fangfang asked, "Did he do all this?"
Liu Xiangxiang nodded with a wry smile: "Yes, every time he lost money in gambling or drank, he would come back and beat me. Not only did he beat me, but the concubine he took in was also beaten to a terrible state by him. Because I have my grandfather Liu
Yi Jing, so he didn’t hit me in the face, but there were more scars on my body than on my arms.”
"Then do you hate him?" Cui Niang asked.
Liu Xiangxiang shook his head: "What's the use of hating, it's already like this~"
Fangfang said: "The adults once told me that if a woman suffers, she should find a way to resist, so that she can fight for her own freedom and happiness."
Liu Xiangxiang and Cuiniang looked at each other, and the two women laughed without talking to each other.
"Okay, let me continue, Sister Cui, the favor Fangfang wants from you is very simple~" After that, Liu Xiangxiang dipped his hands in tea on the table and wrote a few words for Cui Niang to read.
Cui Niang looked down and was shocked.
"Fangfang, do you really want to do this?"
Fangfang nodded firmly and said: "I am your wife, I am a woman of the Ma family. My brother betrayed you and wanted to kill Mrs. Ma and his uncle. I can't let him do this, but I am just a woman."
, I have no other choice."
Liu Xiangxiang followed: "In a few days, Fangfang's menstruation is over, and her brother and sister-in-law will forcefully arrange to accompany Tian Liang. That beast Tian Liang has a human face and a beast's heart. I can't let them harm Fangfang like this...
"At this point, Liu Xiangxiang seemed to have thought of something. She turned to Cui Niang and asked, "Sister Cui, tell me something you don't like to hear, I hope you don't mind."...
Cui Niang laughed: "It's okay, I know who I am, just tell me."
"Is there a kind of poison that can poison a person unconsciously, making the person weaker and weaker as time goes by, but which is invisible to ordinary doctors?"
Cui Niang narrowed her eyes slightly, thought for a while and said: "What you said is true, and I happen to have it here. Well, I used to use it when I wanted to commit suicide, but now I have no use for it. If you want it, I
Here it is, teach you how to use it."
Fangfang asked: "Sister Xiangxiang, what do you do with this?"
Liu Xiangxiang said: "Fangfang, you love Ma Xiaoquan, and so do I. Although I have not been able to become a woman of the Ma family, I am willing to help the Ma family. Tian Liang is a beast. He actually has too many lives in his hands.
I can't watch him harm others anymore."
Cui Niang sighed and said: "You are all fierce women. I really envy you. Okay, then what do you think I should do to help you?"
Liu Xiangxiang and Fangfang looked at each other, and the three women put their heads together and talked quietly.
...
An hour later, Fangfang and Liu Xiangxiang walked out of the piano store with a piano in their arms, and returned to Ma's house. Fangfang told Sister Fang that she suddenly became interested in learning the piano, so she bought a piano and asked for it.
Liu Xiangxiang taught her.
In Mrs. Fang's opinion, Fangfang must have thoroughly figured out what she did. If a woman suddenly wants to learn to play the piano, she must want to please a man. Well, that's great. When Fang Yun comes back, she has to do it in front of him.
Praise Fangfang for being sensible.
...
Fang Yun came back earlier than he expected. When he came back, Fang's sister-in-law praised Fangfang for being sensible in front of Fang Yun. When Fang Yun heard that his sister was learning piano with Liu Xiangxiang, he had no doubts and even entertained Liu Xiangxiang for a banquet that night.
Since Fang Yun had already had a drink before he came back, he drank happily again at the dinner party in the evening. Naturally, he drank too much from the previous meal to the next.
Because Sister Fang had to take care of Fang Yun, she arranged for Fangfang to take good care of her child, while she helped Fang Yun back to the house to rest.
There were only Fangfang and Liu Xiangxiang in the main hall. According to the previously agreed strategy, Liu Xiangxiang left the Ma family. When leaving, he gave each of the Ma family's servants a sum of money and asked them to go out to drink.
As the saying goes, the upper beam is crooked and the lower beam is crooked. The new batch of servants Fang Yun recruited are basically gangsters brought from the market. Fang Yun likes to be cheap, so these servants naturally like it.
Taking Liu Xiangxiang's money, these grandsons all ran faster than rabbits. Looking after the house? It didn't exist. Let's eat and drink first.
In the blink of an eye, there were no outsiders in the entire Ma Family Courtyard. Liu Xiangxiang sighed, turned to look at the main hall, and murmured: "Everything depends on you, Fangfang~"
...
In the main hall, Fangfang was holding Mrs. Fang's child. The child stared wide-eyed, nestled in Fangfang's arms, and shook its little hands cutely, looking very cute.
Fangfang hesitantly put her hand on the child's face and stroked it gently.
"I'm sorry~" After saying that, Fangfang suddenly covered the child's mouth and nose with both hands. The child's eyes widened as he groaned, and his hands kept struggling.
Fangfang gritted her teeth, turned her head, and stopped looking at the child.
After a while, the child stopped moving and his hands drooped.
