Chapter 225 Fu Family
"... People in Huayin say that this family is probably going to be defeated when handed over to the master. There are many people who have such thoughts. A few days ago, Manager Ding proposed to the Grandmaster to withdraw his post. He was so angry that he didn't speak for several days. But for some reason, Manager Ding's family still quit his post. My cousin and others discussed in private that Manager Ding took a large sum of silver. Because two generations helped the Fu family manage the farmland and had good friends with some clerks in the county, the Fu family had a rift with the Shi family for the water use of the farmland a few days ago, and it was the way of those clerks to suppress the Shi family. Manager Ding invited the clerks to come forward to speak for him, and the Fu family had to let him go. Then there were rumors that the family was different now and there was only an empty air, so who would dare to take the money?" Yitong said this, his tone paused slightly, and hesitated.
Fu Tingyun was speechless when he heard this.
The manager dared to ask for a quit, but the Fu family couldn't even suppress his servants, so they wanted to buy the accounts of those clerks...
Seeing Yitong want to speak but stop, she couldn't help but say hurriedly: "What other messy rumors are there?"
Yitong glanced at Yuwei after hearing this.
Yuwei did not avoid Yitong, but said frankly: "Sister Yitong, my wife has followed Master Jiu to the north in recent years. Master Jiu has gone to the northwest. My family's affairs depend on my wife. My wife is no longer the lady who was raised in the deep boudoir. There are no outsiders here, so you can just say anything. My wife can bear it."
After hearing this tone, Yuwei also knew what Yitong was going to say.
Fu Tingyun couldn't help but show some suspicion on her face.
Yitong then whispered: "A merchant family took 30,000 taels of silver to marry the fourteenth lady. The eldest wife refused, but the grandma..."
Miss Fourteen is the concubine daughter of Mr. Fu Si.
Fu Tingyun stood up in shock: "How could this happen?" She looked disbelieving, "Who said this? Who else knows?"
Since I don’t believe this is true, why do I ask who knows?
I am afraid that in the heart of Miss Jiu, although I was surprised, I had to admit that there was such a possibility...
Yitong thought, and a little sadness appeared in her eyes: "The matchmaker has seen the grandma, but the eldest lady bit her and didn't let go, and she hasn't made up her mind yet." As she said that, she hesitated for a moment and said, "I'm afraid this matter will be settled sooner or later - the fourth wife is very satisfied with the marriage and has a fight with the eldest lady for this matter."
Fu Tingyun sat down dejectedly.
Suddenly I remembered Zhao Ling's disdainful expression when she heard that there were three chastity arches in the Fu family...
Did he expect such a result?
Fu Tingyun was a little confused and murmured: "Is the lady old and confused? If she married her fourteenth sister like this, how would she do what her married sisters should do in her in-laws' house?"
"Who said it was not..." Yitong's expression was also a little sad, "I don't know what the grandma is thinking!"
yes!
The Grandma was fourteen and five years old. She married into the Fu family from her granddaughter-in-law to her grandma, and also presided over the gifts of the Fu family. Her children were all biological children. Before she got married, she didn't think that after marrying her, she had the experience of escaping famine with Zhao Ling. When she turned around, she felt that Grandma's was not simple. Although such a person is old, he should not make the mistake of self-harm and self-destruction?
Thoughts flashed, Fu Tingyun's expression stagnated, and his eyes suddenly stared at Yitong, and his eyes suddenly disappeared from focus.
"Madam, Madam," Yitong was so scared that she stood up quickly, "You, what's wrong with you?"
Yuwei, who was standing behind Fu Tingyun, then realized Fu Tingyun's strangeness.
She was also shocked and gently pushed Fu Tingyun's shoulder: "Madam, Madam!" She shouted at Fu Tingyun with a panic look.
Fu Tingyun came back to her senses as if she had woken up from a dream.
She sighed a long sigh, her expression seemed obscure, and she asked Yitong in a low voice: "Did the two masters send someone to send money to their home in the past two years? Or did you send someone to ask the two masters to make any decisions in the family?"
Yitong was a little puzzled, thought about it carefully, and shook her head gently: "No!"
"I understand!" Fu Tingyun added a little bitterness to her obscure expression, "Granddaughter is important, and the reputation of the Fu family is important, but compared to her son, these are nothing... Without a son, there is no Fu family..."
Although her voice was as light as a mosquito, Yitong and Yuwei, who were fully focused on her, could hear it clearly.
The two exchanged gazes inexplicably.
Yuwei relied on following Fu Tingyun for many years. Fu Tingyun treated her like a family member and asked whisper: "What does Madam understand?"
Fu Tingyun understood why she was given medicine by her eldest wife.
She always felt that this was done by the eldest lady without telling the grandma. But Mrs. Ethereum's shrewdness and ability could not see the strangeness in it.
The Tai Madam saw that compared to her son's future and the future of the Fu family, the Tai Madam just chose to settle for the second best.
So even though she knew she was still alive, the lady didn't even send her a message.
At first she thought that the lady was guilty and didn't know how to face her wronged granddaughter... Now it seems that she thought things too simple.
I was originally worried about whether to see the lady!
Fu Tingyun couldn't help but smiled with a self-deprecating voice and said, "Fortunately, Master Five doesn't want to recognize me. If I really recognize me, I'm afraid I'll be disgusted to death!"
This was so stupid that Yuwei and Yitong couldn't help but show a worried expression when they looked at her.
These things will only make people feel discouraged.
Fu Tingyun laughed and said, "What are the expressions of you two? I want to ask what the hell is, is there anyone who serves people like you?" There was a little teasing in his tone.
The two of them couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.
Yuwei even smiled and said, "Isn't this relying on his seniority?"
"Are you old?" Fu Tingyun also thoughtfully swept away the solemnity just now and joked with Yuwei, "I don't think I'm old!" Then he turned his head and said to Yitong, "Do you have a suitable family, marry your sister out quickly, don't put the elderly money in my room!"
Yitong followed up with fun: "She is old and there is really no suitable one!"
"You..." Yu Wei's face turned red with shame. She didn't dare to say Fu Tingyun, so she had to get angry at Yitong, "Are you the same kind of wife who has been someone else? How dare you say anything?"
Fu Tingyun and Yitong laughed.
Tong's mother brought Youyou and Xi Ge'er in.
Fu Tingyun pointed to the child and recommended it to Yitong: "This is Yoyo, this is Brother Xi!"
