Being accused, Mrs. Fang didn't get angry, but bowed her head and answered yes, just like a junior is respectful to an elder.
It can be seen that this is an instinct formed due to long-term habits.
This instinct is to regard the person in front of him as a real elder.
"The relatives are strict because they know that strictness is good, and there is no rule without rules. No one wants to let their children have no rules, otherwise they will be the ones who will suffer in the future." Song Da shopkeeper continued, with a serious expression, "The ones who are far away I'm slack because it has nothing to do with me, so naturally I won't bother, now that Miss Jun is not an outsider, but one of my own, how can you ignore it because of your own likes and dislikes, let alone intentionally indulge."
"Uncle is right." Mrs. Fang said sincerely, with a solemn and grateful expression.
She did indulge Jun Zhenzhen on purpose, and it was also because she never regarded Jun Zhenzhen as her own.
This kind of thing can be seen by others, but they won't tell the truth, and only one of them can really accuse her like this.
"Miss Jun has a bad temper. That's because no one has taught her well. She was born in an official family, and my uncle is a loyal person who is praised by the Tian family. With her status, those officials and other families must avoid it." Song Da shopkeeper Said, "You and the old lady teach slowly, we don't expect her to be able to support the family, as long as she is sensible, she will have a long time."
The days are still long.
For the women of the Fang family, no one understands the feeling that the days are still long better than them.
In the lonely late night, the vacant house guarded alone, the business that is always on the mind and dare not relax, there is no way to rely on, and every night when you wake up from a nightmare, you will sigh how long the days and nights are.
Mrs. Fang felt sad, thinking of Fang Chengyu, Chengyu really got better these few days. What Jun Zhenzhen said can be cured seems to be true.
"How is Chengyu now?" The voice of Shopkeeper Song rang in his ears.
"It's much better." Mrs. Fang blurted out, unable to hide her expectation and joy.
Shopkeeper Song said oh, and nodded in relief.
A trace of embarrassment flashed in Mrs. Fang's eyes
"It seems that Chongxi still works," she added.
"It's much better." Yuan Shi couldn't help interjecting, "Madam, just now the girls said that the young master couldn't find the girl if it was convenient, and almost got dirty."
"Where's the girl?" Mrs. Fang asked in a daze.
Although she promised Jun Zhenzhen that she would be the one to decide everything, but hearing that her son was being treated so harshly, she still couldn't help but feel distressed.
"Two of the girls have just been sold. The other girls are too afraid to act without authorization," Yuan said in a low voice.
Mrs. Fang clenched her hands on her knees.
Master Song coughed lightly.
"You can't expect others to be as careful as your biological parents and sisters right away," he said. "Heart for heart, don't worry about it."
Mrs. Fang forced a smile at him, and said yes.
"It made my uncle laugh." She said. Signal Yuanshi not to say any more.
Yuanshi bowed his head and stepped back.
Shopkeeper Song didn't ask any more questions, and after saying a few more words, he led the people away.
Mrs. Fang came to the inner room.
"Did you take the medicine?" she asked.
This was agreed in advance, and the prescriptions prescribed by Jun Zhenzhen can be shown to others without arousing suspicion, so Mrs. Fang can use half-truths and half-fakes to confuse others.
The medicines that were really needed were purchased by Jun Zhenzhen herself under other banners.
Yuanshi nodded.
"I've seen it," she said. With a hesitant expression on his face, he hesitated to speak. "It's just that these are medicines for strengthening yang. Chengyu is weak, so is it wrong to use this?"
After finishing speaking, he looked at Mrs. Fang's expression.
Mrs. Fang's expression remained unchanged.
"It's okay, it's just a tonic." She said. He waved his hand, "As long as it's not poison."
However, if the tonic is not taken properly, it can also become poison.
Yuan Shi wanted to speak but stopped. Thinking of the rumors in the family that the old lady and the eldest lady wanted to use medicine to urge Chengyu to stay behind, although both the old lady Fang and the eldest lady denied it. But now it seems that nine out of ten are true.
It seems that Jun Zhenzhen occupied Fang's house under the guise of treating Fang Chengyu's illness, and Mrs. Fang and Mrs. Fang also pretended to believe that she actually wanted to take this opportunity to let Fang Chengyu stay. Deceive, conceal each other, each has its own thoughts.
Yuan Shi has always been very clear about what to ask and what not to ask, and she answered yes with lowered eyes when she heard the words.
"Then I'll dispense the medicine and deliver it to her," she said.
Mrs. Fang hummed and nodded absently.
…
When night fell, lights were lit in a remote room in the corner of the Fang family's house, and soon they were surrounded by people, covering most of the light.
The room was still dim, and two figures swayed on the wall.
A piece of paper was pushed under the lamp on the table.
The jumping light illuminates the words written in small letters on the paper.
It was Miss Jun who asked Liu er to give Mrs. Fang the prescription.
Holding the prescription with a thin hand, he picked it up and carefully looked at the lamp. The lamp was blocked by his figure, and the person opposite was shrouded in shadow.
"Okay, go down." A slightly hoarse voice said.
The person in the shadow bowed and retreated without saying a word.
The door was closed, and the inside and outside were plunged into darkness.
In March in Yangchun, the sky is bright, and flocks of birds fly over the yard from time to time, singing cheerfully.
There was a burst of excitement outside the second gate, preparing cars and horses, carrying tea and stoves.
"What is this for?" someone asked in confusion.
"Young Mistress is going out." The busy servant girl replied.
There are no relatives in the Fang family, and the family's business does not need the young lady to intervene for the time being. What does a married woman go out to do
"It is said that the spring is just right, so I am going outside the city for a spring outing." The servant girl said in a low voice.
It's really leisurely, it seems that I don't even remember that my husband hasn't stepped out in spring for ten years.
The servants all curled their lips, so what, who dares to stop
"There's nothing to do in the mountains. The grass and trees are just turning green. It's better to be by the river, and the weeping willows are beautiful." Mrs. Fang suggested with a smile.
Miss Jun nodded.
"Yes, let's go for a walk by the river," she said.
The old lady Fang thought of something again, looking at the girl beside her.
"Go, call Yuxiu..." she said.
Just as the words were out of his mouth, a shout came from the next door.
"Wait!"
Fang Jinxiu poked her head from behind the partition.
"Grandma, let me go with my cousin." She said loudly.
Old lady Fang glared at her.
"What's the matter with you," she said, "You're grounded."
"Grandmother, I can ride a horse, but my second sister can't ride a horse." Fang Jinxiu said, looking at Miss Jun again with a bit of provocation, "It's interesting to go outing on a horse. Can Miss Jun know how to ride a horse?"
"What kind of horse is a girl riding! Who told you to come out, let me in." Old lady Fang scolded.
Miss Jun smiled.
"My cousin is right." She said, "Grandmother, I haven't ridden a horse for a long time, and now spring is just right, so I'll go and let my cousin accompany me."
Now that she had spoken, Old Madam Fang no longer objected, and called out Fang Jinxiu to warn her.
"Go out and be honest, listen to your cousin." She warned.
"Yes, I didn't know how good my cousin was before, but March 3rd showed me, of course I have to listen to her." Fang Jinxiu said obediently, looking at Miss Jun with admiration in her eyes.
Miss Jun pursed her lips and left with a smile.
Because it was time to change to riding a horse, the servants and girls were in a hurry to prepare again, and they found a girl who could ride a horse. Fortunately, the women of the Fang family were in charge, and when Fang Jinxiu learned to ride a horse, the girls followed suit.
After a while, a group of people left the courtyard gate of Fang's house and walked out of the city along the street.
After leaving the city gate, Fang Jinxiu lowered her face at Miss Jun.
"I'm not afraid to tell you the truth." She reined in her horse and said, "Jun Zhenzhen, you are a troublemaker. I don't want my eldest sister and second sister to go out with you. Maybe I will get involved in something."
Miss Jun smiled.
"Then you are not afraid?" she asked.
Fang Jinxiu raised the whip in his hand and glanced at Miss Jun beside him.
Fang Jinxiu changed into a woman's riding attire, wrapped in a red cloak, so she could ride a white horse easily, but Jun Zhenzhen wore the same everyday attire, but her hair was tied neatly, she put on a veiled hat, and sat sideways. immediately.
Miss Jun's so-called horseback riding was led by a young man in front of him.
"Of course I'm not afraid, because I didn't intend to accompany you." Fang Jinxiu snorted and urged the horse to gallop away.
The girls and servants in the nursing home were at a loss.
Miss Jun just smiled.
"Let's go," she said.
The little servant hurriedly led the horse forward.
The girls on both sides rode to protect each other, lest Miss Jun fall off.
Miss Jun's hands were blocked by the light yellow cloak. No one could see that she was not holding the rein, but laying it casually in front of her body, swaying as the horse walked.
She used to urge her horse to gallop on the way back to Beijing every year because of her father's illness, eating and sleeping over mountains and mountains.
Now that her father is gone, her heart is still galloping towards returning to Beijing, but she can't rush her way.
She should take it easy, step by step.
