Chapter 53
Since men and women are not seated at the same table at the age of seven, my aunt got this opportunity today at the risk of offending the old lady and several sisters-in-law. We must seize it well. Fan Wensheng was very careful with his calculations. [26nbsp;]
She glanced at her sister calmly, asking her to cooperate. Fan Jiarou was a little unhappy. Fan Lin's family was both a wealthy family, and it was impossible to allow the marriage exchange to happen. If his brother married the third lady of the Lin family, then he would definitely not be able to marry her.
It was given to the second young master of the Lin family. The young master had been selected as a prostitute at a young age and his family was so prominent. He must have a bright future. I heard he had a handsome face. She didn't want to miss this opportunity.
But this marriage may not be finalized yet. If it is not settled and she offends her brother again, life will definitely be uncomfortable after returning. Her brother is the only direct young master of the Fan family, and will be her mother's family's supporter in the future.
Can't be offended.
She was also quick-witted and decisive. She smiled in the blink of an eye and smiled kindly at the four girls: "I already saw the poetic talents of Sister Yumei and Sister Yuzhu at the Zhixin Party last time.
I admire her in my heart, but I have never had time to visit. I didn't expect my aunt's invitation, but I have the opportunity to make friends with my sisters, which is really happy."
What Yumei is most proud of is that she won the third place at the Zhixin Party last time. She usually doesn't dare to show it around due to the restraint of our ladies and her mother's instructions. Now when she saw the new customers praising her like this, she suddenly felt
With interest, it becomes a bit more intimate.
"My mother taught me how to read every day, but I only got some income from time to time. I don't deserve my sister's praise." Yumei smiled happily.
Yu Zhu just lowered her head and pretended to be shy, without batting an eyelid.
Jiarou's hand holding the handkerchief tightened involuntarily.
Fan Wensheng smiled politely on the side and asked: "I wonder what masterpieces the two sisters have produced. Do you have the ear to do it?"
"Children, how can they deserve such praise? It's just for fun. They can't work as hard as you boys. After studying, you will have to take the imperial examination." The old lady suddenly spoke, as if she was talking to an ordinary person.
The concern of the younger generation blocked Fan Wensheng's words intentionally or unintentionally.
Mr. Fan sat aside and was anxious. He had limited opportunities and didn't care whether the old lady would be unhappy. He smiled and interrupted: "What's the topic? I'm going to be promoted to the exam. My poems are good and I will be rewarded. If I don't
Good aunt, please tell your father and ask him to deal with you, it must be because you have been lazy recently." After saying that, she covered her mouth with the handkerchief and laughed twice. Only Mrs. Zhao agreed twice: "Sister-in-law, please don't be so harsh.
, Brother Sheng will definitely not do anything bad."
Yumei smiled very dignifiedly and her voice was gentle and soft: "The title is 'Hot Springs'." Although she lowered her head, Yuzhu noticed that she still quickly raised her head and glanced at Fan Wensheng after finishing speaking.
, two patches of flying clouds quickly climbed up on my cheeks.
Mrs. Liang raised her delicate eyebrows and looked carefully at Fan Wensheng's fair face, thinking deeply in her heart.
Fan Wensheng pondered for a moment, but then he opened his mouth and said, "I forgive Yu Zhu for not having any talent for poetry. It seemed good to her, and the description was quite grand. Well, no more. I didn't hear anything else. It seemed that he used allusions. Anyway,
I didn’t understand it. But looking at Yumei’s excited and intoxicated look, I can still tell that this poem must be well written.
"Brother Fan is really talented. Such great work makes my sister feel ashamed. How dare you say it again just to make a joke." Yumei's earlobes turned red and she did not dare to look directly into Ma Wensheng's eyes.
Ma Wensheng has no interest in Yumei. First of all, the second wife of the Lin family is a concubine. Yumei's parents are both hopeless. The father guards the city gate. The mother said it sounds like they are from a scholarly family. But what is a scholarly family like? Just one person in the family.
There are no officials. Secondly, Yumei looks like her mother. To put it mildly and implicitly, she is delicate and dignified, but to put it bluntly, she doesn’t look good, especially when standing next to Yuzhu.
If the two of them had different family backgrounds, it would be a lot of trouble, but now Ma Wensheng doesn't have to think about it at all. Yu Zhu's parents are both direct children, his father was a third-rank official at a young age, and his mother is the legitimate daughter of the Marquis, and she is also a powerful brother.
, he needs help like this to help him completely defeat that damn eldest brother. So what if the eldest son of a concubine is the eldest son? If the legitimate son is capable and the maternal family is strong, it will be useless no matter how popular his eldest brother is.
He is very confident. It is easiest to seduce such a girl who is ignorant of the world and has been living in a boudoir for a long time. Beautiful women naturally love talented people. He should have performed well today. Wasn't the eldest daughter of the Lin family immediately fascinated by him? A good start, and in the future
Then slowly penetrate it, and occasionally give some small gifts...
Fan Wensheng's lips curved into a smile that was sure to win, and he calmly resigned.
The old lady ordered her maid to arrange a wing for Fan Jiarou, and everyone got up and left one after another. Fan felt her whole body tremble, and when she looked up she saw the old lady's cold eyes, she lowered her head again, digging her nails into her flesh, one day...
One day...
Cui felt something was wrong when she walked to the door of her yard. Sui's mother was standing at the door with an anxious look on her face. When she saw Cui coming back, she hurriedly ran over, looked around warily, and then reported in Cui's ear.
Upon hearing this, Ms. Cui felt cold all over her body and could not help but sway. Yu Zhu and Yu Lan rushed forward to support her, patting her back gently to help her breathe.
When Cui's mood calmed down, Yu Zhu was sensitive to Cui's anger, which was unprecedentedly violent.
"Mom, what's wrong with you, has something happened?" Yu Zhu couldn't help but ask.
"Don't ask anything. You two should go back to your yard immediately. You are not allowed to come out without my permission." After saying this, he followed Sui's mother in a hurry without explaining.
Yu Zhu and Yu Lan looked at each other, both confused, so they had to go back to their own courtyards and close the courtyard doors. Yu Zhu vaguely guessed that something happened to the second brother Lin Zongyan, because Sui's mother and Cui went to the eldest brother
's yard.
Here, Ms. Cui was walking in a hurry and asked the furious Sui mother: "How are you doing now? Are there people who know who are keeping an eye on you? How is Brother Yan doing?"
Sui's mother ran a little hastily, panting slightly and replied: "Madam, don't worry, she came alone, not many people know about it, only a few personal maids in the second young master's house, and now the slaves have locked the yard before coming out.
." She thought for a while and then added: "The second young master is very angry, but now he has locked himself in the study, and my servant has sent people to guard outside."
Ms. Cui breathed a sigh of relief, hesitated and asked again: "Nothing really happened, right?"
"Don't worry, madam."
