Chapter 179 The most difficult choice in life is the choice
Chapter 179 The hardest thing in life is to make a choice
The new man married Fang Meimei away, and Fang Yu and Mrs. Fang cried sadly.
Several younger sisters also cried with their parents.
On the contrary, Fang Qunqun was deeply satisfied when she saw her sister running away in red makeup! She wanted to express her gratitude to that person for the opportunity!
An Ning was at the banquet, drinking with Fang Yu who had finished crying. He looked at the groom's high-spirited look, feeling envious, anxious, and a little proud. In a few days, it would be his turn!
In a few days, when I go home every night, the big yard will no longer be empty.
There is always a candle waiting for him.
In the warm room, the beautiful wife is sitting at the table with a smile...
I couldn't help but drink another large glass.
Lin Zhixiu and Yao were drinking and joking with some girls. Yao hadn't been so relaxed in years, so he actually drank two drinks.
In the past, Fang Qunqun loved being lively, and such occasions were always the most noisy. But today, she didn't even drink. Seeing that no one was paying attention, she slipped out to see the maid given to her by the prince.
When Lin Zhixiu saw her leaving mysteriously, she couldn't help but frown again. Something was wrong between the Fang family and her!
In the spare room in the west wing, there stood a thin woman in a navy blue dress. When she saw Fang Qunqun coming in, she knelt down on one leg and saluted, "I am here to serve you on the master's order. Please give me your name!"
Fang Qunqun was a little embarrassed and said, "Get up quickly.!"
The woman said, "Thank you, Master!"
Fang Qunqun said, "You... just call me wife from now on!"
"Yes, ma'am!"
"What was your previous name?" Fang Qunqun looked at her. She was not tall, very thin, had an ordinary face, and was dressed simply.
She said softly, "I am an orphan and don't know my family name. Later I took the master's surname of Feng. My name is Feng Twenty-three!"
Fang Qunqun said, "From now on, you can use my maiden name and give me a name... just call me Fang!"
The woman gave her a blessing and said, "Thank you, Mrs., for the name!"
Fang Qunqun said, "Hey, you don't have to have so many rules in front of me. I'm a very talkative person. If you are always so strict, I'd be nervous! Then...what do you know?!"
Fang Hao said, "I know a little bit about everything! Oh, I'm not very good at needlework..."
Fang Qunqun said, "You don't need to do this. Actually, I don't have anything to ask you to do..."
Fang Hao said, "The contact between the wife and the master is also through the slaves. I know a lot of slaves. If you need anything, just give me your orders!"
Fang Qunqun felt a little embarrassed when she heard what she said, "I want to take you back to the Lin family. I'm afraid it won't be so convenient for you to go out in the future!"
Fang Hao said, "Don't worry, I have my own way."
Fang Qunqun felt that she was very impressive when she spoke like this, and said with a smile, "That's it. In this case, I will call my niece over first and let her take a look at you."
Fang Hao nodded expressionlessly, "Yes!"
Fang Qunqun walked out, lowered his head and thought for a moment, how should he tell Lin Zhixiu? She didn't want to lie to her, but she didn't want to tell the truth. It was so difficult!
In the room, a group of people were joking, and with the twins there, their voices were raised an octave, almost breaking the ceiling...
Fang Qunqun whispered to Lin Zhixiu, "Xiu'er, come out for a moment."
Lin Zhixiu thought to herself, are you finally going to tell me?
The two people came to the yard, and Fang Qunqun whispered, "Xiu'er... That's it, my dad, isn't it getting better? This time, he bought a few slaves and gave one to me. Come and take a look? After a while,
Let’s just take her back, okay?”
Lin Zhixiu glanced at her, "Oh, that's it! Don't tell me, looking at it like this, your father is really getting better! That's what the so-called smooth rise to success means!"
Fang Qunqun chuckled and took Lin Zhixiu to the room just now without answering her words.
Fang Hao stood upright in the room.
Fang Qunqun said, "Xiu'er, I'm talking about her! I gave her a name, Fang Hao! Do you think it sounds good or not?"
Lin Zhixiu looked at it and her heart sank.
Fang Hao, stepped forward and saluted, "I've met the third girl!"
Lin Zhixiu paused for a moment before saying, "No gifts! That's great! It's a good name!"
Fang stood there politely, with his hands folded in front of his abdomen.
Lin Zhixiu understood everything at just one glance. He had an ordinary appearance, a straight figure, and a restrained charm.
The two hands...the joints are clearly defined, large and strong, they should be very powerful, right?
That body is so hard that he must be a practicing practitioner.
Nan Yan and Bei Fei also have some skills, but they are not the same as her.
I remember that when Nan Yan and Bei Fei first came to me, they had various expressions: panic, confusion, worry, fear. Then they were: relieved, calm, happy. Bei Fei even started to be naughty...
They have emotional changes. Especially when they see themselves, the surprise in their eyes is very obvious.
As for this "Fang Hao", not only did his expression remain motionless, but his eyes did not waver either... He should be someone who had received some kind of training.
Who is she?
Lin Zhixiu's face darkened. "Fifth Aunt, Xiu'er has a few words to ask you..."
Fang Qunqun said, "Ah!? Oh, okay... just ask."
Lin Zhixiu looked at Fang Hao.
Fang Hao was just like before, motionless and expressionless.
If she were a professional girl, she would definitely be discerning.
Only then did Fang Qunqun react: "Fang Hao, go outside and see what you can do for them!"
Fang Hao then agreed and went out.
Lin Zhixiu asked Fang Qunqun, "Fifth Aunt, I know you are hiding something from me! I don't have to know. But at least give me a direction and don't let me worry about you!"
Fang Qunqun was a little nervous when asked by Lin Zhixiu. She lowered her head and thought for a moment, "That's it... Xiu'er, during the autumn hunting, I saved a noble man. These are his rewards!"
Lin Zhixiu said, "Is it a man?"
Fang Qunqun nodded.
Lin Zhixiu said, "There are many kinds of rewards. It is normal to give your father a position. It is normal to give some gold and silver. It is not normal to ask your family to move here. It is even more abnormal to arrange people around you! Aunt,
You may not have thought about it that much...or maybe nothing happened. But you are a married woman, and if this matter is exposed, it may affect you, and then the Fang family."
Fang Qunqun lowered his head and said nothing.
Lin Zhixiu said, "Fifth Aunt, in everything you do, think about the consequences first. If you can bear the consequences, then do it! Don't regret that you didn't think of it in advance..."
Fang Qunqun raised his eyes to look at her.
Lin Zhixiu smiled, "You may have been satisfied with your situation in the Lin family before. But after getting to know this noble man, will you still be satisfied? If you are not satisfied, what do you think? Fifth Aunt, as long as you can think clearly,
No matter what you choose, Xiuer will support you."
Fang Qunqun looked at Lin Zhixiu with a different expression than before... serious and firm, "Xiu'er, I know you are good for me. But I want to take this person back to the Lin family!"
Lin Zhixiu smiled, "Okay! Then we won't talk about this! Let's go have a drink!"
Fang Qunqun also laughed and followed Lin Zhixiu back to the banquet.
After the wedding banquet was over, Fang Qunqun took Fang Hao back to the Lin family.
Yao felt strange when he saw it. He asked but didn't take it seriously.
Xiao Taoer felt a sense of crisis. She wanted to compete with this person named Fang Hao. As soon as she got closer, Fang Hao glanced at her and she became frightened. She ran to Fang Qunqun and said, "Madam, you don't want Xiao Taoer?"
!" Tears flowed out.
Fang Qunqun said, "What are you talking about? Can't I have more people? Just stay there!"
Everyone laughed.
As soon as I entered Lin's house, it said on the door, "Third Miss! The old man, the old lady, and the eldest man are waiting for you at the back! Come back when you are asked!"
Lin Zhixiu wondered, "What's so urgent?!"
Fang Qunqun took Fang Hao with her to find Mrs. Yuan. Mrs. Yao returned to the courtyard while still drunk, and vaguely heard someone scolding across the courtyard, but she didn't mind.
Lin Zhixiu arrived at the old lady's house, and sure enough, the old man, the old lady, and Lin Ji were sitting drinking tea and talking.
Lin Zhixiu came up and saluted the three heads of family.
Lin Ji said, "Xiuer, you are back!"
Lin Zhixiu said, "Uncle, do you have something to do with Xiu'er?"
Lin Ji said, "Sit down and talk!"
Lin Zhixiu thanked him and sat down. The girl quickly brought a bowl of tea.
Lin Ji looked at her and said gently, "The emperor is in the court today to commend the soldiers of the northwest. Originally, Li Feng was given the title of Marquis of Zhongyong..."
I didn't mention this just now, so the old lady was really surprised when she heard it. Does this person named Li Feng really have such a good fortune?
Lin Zhixiu was calm, nodded and said nothing.
Lin Ji said, "Give me a title, a mansion, and a title that can be passed down to three generations. What an honor! Unexpectedly, Li Feng sued the Wen family on the spot to exterminate the family and seize property... Li Feng wanted to use this title in exchange for solving this tragedy."
investigation.”
Lin Zhixiu said nothing.
Lin immediately asked, "Xiu'er, do you know anything about the past events of the Li family?"
Lin Zhixiu said, "Uncle, Xiu'er knows a lot about this matter. The Li family is a family that has been passed down for hundreds of years. It has a rich family fortune and is philanthropic. However, overnight, the family was wiped out! The Li family was destroyed.
He was not convicted, but directly exterminated the family and seized property!"
Lin Ji said, "Ah?! Is this really the case..."
Lin Zhixiu nodded, "At that time, my father did a brief investigation, but the Wen family... you also know that that time... was not a good time!"
Lin Ji said, "That's right! The Wen family is not just a simple family now. Besides, the Empress Dowager is very helpful to the Emperor!"
Lin Zhixiu said nothing.
Lin Ji said, "Xiu'er, you know that the current noble families in the imperial court were all awarded by Emperor Chongde when the country was founded. They were rarely awarded again later. Especially today, Li Feng's position as a marquis is not easy to come by.
Got it!"
Lin Zhixiu nodded, "Oh!"
Lin Ji said, "As soon as Li Feng said it in the court, the Wen family came out to refute it. If His Highness King Cheng hadn't come out to vouch for Li Feng, it's hard to say what would have happened at that time!"
Lin Zhixiu said, "Uncle, what did the emperor say..."
Lin Ji said, "At that time, the emperor neither approved nor refused. He only said that...it is a matter of great importance and we must consider one or two things first."
Lin Zhixiu "Oh."
Lin Ji said, "Xiu'er, can you... please advise Mrs. Li on this matter?"
Lin Zhixiu said, "Uncle, what are you advising me on?"
Old Mrs. Lin interjected, "Of course I'm trying to persuade Li Feng. The current achievements are hard-earned and should be cherished! Don't think that the Wen family will be gone now that the Empress Dowager is gone! If this matter is not good, Li Feng will lose all these years."
What a hassle! And after so many years, how can there be any personal or material evidence? This case will probably be difficult to figure out! When the time comes, the Wen family will sue..."
Lin Zhixiu said, "Uncle, do you also mean this?"
Lin Ji said, "The emperor did not agree at that time because he was in trouble. Li Feng was the greatest contributor to the Northwest War. When the court pointed out the Wen family, it was difficult for the emperor to deny him. However, the Wen family was not a simple matter to the emperor.
Existence...so such a thing..."
Lin Zhixiu said, "Uncle, the hatred of destroying the family is irreconcilable! How could Zhixiu have not experienced the heartbreaking pain of the Li family, how could he easily persuade him to let it go for the sake of the future? I heard that if it weren't for Li Feng,
My uncle used his last strength to put Li Feng's father on the boat. Li Feng's father died on the spot. Then there would be no Li Feng today. Therefore, his life was picked up! Maybe it was from God.
, because the Li family has been kind for generations and gave them the last mercy. The eldest uncle, Zhixiu, can only support but cannot persuade!"
Lin Ji said, "That's it..."
Lin Zhixiu said, "Uncle, not everything can be measured by gains and losses. Just respect the Li family's decision in this matter! Zhixiu will convey your kindness if there is a chance!"
Lin Ji said, "That's all. Go back and rest!"
Lin Zhixiu saluted the three people, took two steps and suddenly turned around and said, "Grandpa, grandma, eldest uncle, my uncle is getting married in two days. The post has been sent to our house. You must go then!"
The old man laughed, and Lin immediately said, "Uncle will definitely go there then!"
The old lady lowered her eyes and said nothing.
After she left, the old man sighed, "This girl...if she were a boy, she should be trained well!"
The old lady said, "Humph, you are born to be rebellious! Three adults came to talk to her, and you still don't understand what they mean? She doesn't even want to be perfunctory! This damn girl is so peaceful!"
The old man shook his head and said nothing.
Lin Ji said, "Dad, do you plan to go to the An family to get married?"
The old man said, "Just go and do it! I'm too lazy to socialize now!"
The old lady said, "I won't go! I don't have the time. It's up to Yuan whether she goes or not! It's not that important!"
The old man glanced at his wife, "It's not so unimportant, right?" An Ning married a daughter of the Ren family!
But now he is really too lazy to talk to the old lady...
