Although it was inconvenient for Marquis Pingliang to return to the capital, Mrs. Marquis Pingliang was fine. She was overjoyed after receiving the letter from her eldest daughter. The husband and wife were excited about the letter for a long time, and felt that they were finally going to get through it.
Zhou Shoufu is the head of all officials, and has always won His Majesty's trust. As long as he helps, returning to Beijing is just around the corner.
The news that the son of the chief assistant's family is about to marry the daughter of the Marquis of Pingliang finally spread in Beijing. For a while, the Marquis of Pingliang's mansion, which had been neglected for many years, welcomed batch after batch of distinguished guests again, which made Mrs. Pingliang finally realize that I felt a sense of elation.
"It is said that this marriage was decided by Zhou Shoufu. Mrs. Shoufu has always disagreed, but she is a woman who can't hold back Zhou Shoufu, so she has to accept this marriage aggrieved." Yang curled her lips and said, The disdain on the face.
"I offended my mother-in-law before I even entered the door. I'm afraid life will be hard in the future. It's really pitiful!" When she said this, she could not hide her gloating.
Looking at the scenery now, I'm afraid I'll have to cry only after I get through the door in the future!
"What's the matter? No matter how dissatisfied Mrs. Shoufu is, is it possible that she can surpass Mr. Shoufu? Didn't you see that this marriage has been settled?" Shen Xinyan didn't think so.
As long as Zhou Shoufu recognized her, no matter how dissatisfied Mrs. Shoufu was, she would not dare to do too much. And that Mr. Friday, as long as he is willing to protect his wife, no one else will do anything.
Furthermore, with Fang Birong's means, she was able to fight a bloody path in Xu Shangshu's mansion in her previous life and stabilize her position in the mansion. Thinking about it in this life, it wouldn't be too exceptional.
She never dared to underestimate Fang Birong's ability.
"Having said that, I still can't figure it out. How did this girl fall into Zhou Shoufu's eyes? So much so that he insisted on making this marriage regardless of his wife's objection." Yang was puzzled.
"How do you know that Mr. Wu didn't intend to ask his father to make decisions for him?" Shen Xinyan said slowly.
"It's reasonable for you to say that. Miss Fang's beauty is so beautiful that even women have to praise her, let alone those young masters." Yang said helplessly.
Shen Xinyan smiled.
In terms of good color, Fang Birong today is inferior to Zhou Guanning in the future.
"My sister is in the early stage, don't mention how happy my sister-in-law is now, she is smiling all day long, and even the creases on her face are about to laugh out. It's really annoying that all the good things have fallen to the head of the house! " Yang said sourly.
Is it a good thing? Shen Xinyan still has reservations about this. Fang Birong entered the Zhou Mansion and became the direct daughter-in-law of the first assistant's wife, but the direct line of the Zhou Mansion will be suppressed by the concubine Zhou Maoyi in the future.
It's just... Thinking that Fang Birong will become Zhou Wanning's fifth aunt and Mrs. Zhou Wen's sister-in-law in the future, she is full of anticipation for some reason.
In her previous life, she couldn't remember which girl from the mansion that Mr. Friday married, but she presumed that that one would not be as good as Fang Birong. The odds are better.
After Mrs. Yang left, Qiutang came in and said in a low voice: "I inquired privately, it was the Da Furen who took Miss Fang to the temple to fulfill the vow that day, although it was said to fulfill the vow, it was actually an appointment with Mrs. Xu Shangshu The meeting there is probably for the marriage between Miss Fang and Mr. Xu's family."
"Since that's the case, why did this marriage become Master Friday and Miss Fang?" Shen Xinyan was even more puzzled.
In this life, the Fang family met Mrs. Xu again. She is no exception. The sick son of the Xu family married Fang Birong in his previous life. kick.
"From what Lu'er said, it seems that the Japanese girl once got separated from her. When Lu'er found her, she found that something was wrong with her. Something seemed to have cut her sleeve. As for Miss Fang and her Lu'er is not very clear about what happened after she left. However, after hearing that Mr. Zhou and Miss Fang had arranged a marriage, Madam Xu had some quarrels with Da Furen."
Shen Xinyan frowned and pondered, could it be that in that short period of time, what opportunity did Fang Birong have, which made her finally climb to the capital? I just don't know who she met, is it Zhou Shoufu or that Mr. Friday
But now it seems that Fang Birong's engagement with Mr. Friday seems to have offended Mrs. Xu? Could it be that Xu Fang's family was planning to get engaged, but they didn't want Fang's family to go back on their word, so they made an engagement with Zhou's family instead.
If so, no wonder Mrs. Xu would be upset, isn't this being slapped in the face? After all, the Xu Mansion is also a noble family, and Xu Shangshu is a very popular figure in the court, it is not a good thing to have a grudge against them!
She vaguely remembered that Xu Shangshu was a prosperous official in his previous life. Later, when Zhou Shoufu was in charge of his mother, he directly joined the cabinet, and maybe he would become the first assistant of the cabinet in the future.
Regarding this marriage, the Eldest Princess is also quite complicated. The eldest daughter-in-law was still talking about her marriage with Xu Shangshu's mansion in front of her, and she even made an appointment with Mrs. Xu to see her. But he is not the son of the Xu family, but the son of the Zhou family.
She didn't know what had happened, but she just watched the eldest daughter-in-law happily preparing for Fang Birong's marriage, but she couldn't resist the overwhelming disappointment in her heart.
In life, you have to say "faith" in everything, not to mention marriage is such an important matter, you clearly made a verbal agreement with Xu's mansion, but you turned around and broke the agreement, and climbed to the capital's mansion. It's so inconceivable that...
She sighed for a long time, her mood was depressed, even after hearing that her sister-in-law Mrs. Ping Lianghou, whom she hadn't seen for many years, had returned to Beijing, and she was not very happy when she would visit her soon.
At this time in Pinglianghou's mansion, Fang Birong was combing her hair full of waterfalls of blue hair in front of the bronze mirror, with a smug smile on her lips.
What about Mrs. Shoufu, Mrs. Zhou, as long as she wants to do, there is nothing she can't do!
They look down on themselves? Do you think you are not good enough for their son? She wants to marry in a dignified way!
However, thinking of that gentle and refined man, the expression on her face was a bit dazed.
It turned out that he was the chief minister of the dynasty, he never expected to be so young, his whole body style was really rare in his life, when the young master stood beside him that Friday, he was really inferior to him.
She sighed lowly.
"Girl, Mr. Qi has sent another message, and I want to meet you tomorrow." At this moment, Xiang'er, the personal maid, came in and reported in a low voice.
Fang Birong's face darkened, and she cursed softly: "When is this? What else are you seeing? Now all the eyes of the capital are fixed on our house, how can I get out of here!"
"But girl, this is the third time Mr. Qi has asked you to meet, if he refuses him again, he will reveal the whole thing, I'm afraid..." Xiang'er said worriedly.
Fang Birong's face became even uglier, and she was so angry that she twisted her handkerchief, and finally squeezed out a sentence: "Let him wait for my news."
Xiang'er took the order and retreated.
She was the only one left in the room, and Fang Birong slapped the comb heavily on the dressing table: "What a shabby thing, I want to grab me!"
At this moment, her face no longer had the throbbing heartbeat and entanglement of love when she first saw Qi Liuxiu at the Hundred Flowers Banquet in the Kangjun Prince's Mansion that day.
It was just a one-sided relationship, and because of this incident, Shen Xinyan suffered a loss, and she was locked up by Fang, so her thoughts have gradually faded away.
If it wasn't for later knowing that Qi Liuxiu had lost his good job because of her, and now that he is no longer able to get up and down, and his knowledge is no longer useful, she would feel a little guilty in her heart, and she would definitely not go with him again. one place to go.
It was also thanks to Fang's being forced back by Shen Xinyan some time ago, and she didn't have much thought to stare at her, so she found an opportunity to contact Qi Liuxiu. If you can't get in touch with him, you won't get his help, you won't be able to "encounter" Zhou Shoufu that day, and naturally you won't be able to "coincidentally" save his life.
Who said that only heroes can save the beauty? She wants to come out to save the hero with a beauty! The only pity is that this hero already has a wife and children, and is much older than her. Although he has a high position and authority, he was born too early.
She rubbed her forehead depressingly.
However, Wei Junhang finally got some free time today, so he planned to return to the residence early. At this moment, Heizi walked in. Seeing him packing his desk, he casually asked, "Is your son planning to return to the residence?"
"Well, now that everything is ready, I only owe the east wind. How to blow the 'east wind' is not within the scope of my duties. If I haven't been with my little girl for such a long time, I'm afraid the little girl won't get close to me. Becoming a father."
Having said that, he was even more eager to leave.
"By the way, Shizi, there is something I want to tell you." Heizi stopped him.
"What is it?"
"The sister of the eldest lady of your mansion has already engaged the fifth son of the capital, do you know about this?"
"I'm neither deaf nor dumb, how can I not know!" Wei Junhang said angrily.
He would go back to the Duke's mansion every day, so how could he not know what happened in the mansion, but the Fang family girl was not someone of his, so he didn't bother to pay attention to it.
"Then do you know how these two marriages were settled?" Heizi looked mysterious.
"How do you decide?" Wei Junhang lacked interest.
"I have to say, that girl from the Marquis of Pingliang's mansion is really clever. She actually managed to bribe the people around Zhou Shoufu. Tsk tsk, first she acted as a beauty saving a hero, and then as a young lady who fell in love with you at first sight!"
Wei Junhang is not a fool, he understood it just by listening to him.
"This hero is our Lord Shoufu? The young master is that Friday young master?" He widened his eyes in disbelief.
Being able to be promoted by King Cheng and secure the position of Chief Assistant, this Lord Chief Assistant is naturally not an ordinary person, and how could he be easily deceived by such a clichéd trick
He asked questions.
"That's why I said that Miss Fang is smart enough and courageous enough. Fortunately, she is a girl. If she was born as a man, especially a man who is our enemy, I am afraid it will be difficult to deal with." Heizi sighed. .
Wei Junhang sneered: "You are wrong, it is precisely because she is a weak girl that she appears to be so clever."
He turned around and said to Heizi, "I forgot to remind you that Zhou Shoufu once had a fiancée before marrying this lady, but it's a pity that the fiancée has a poor face and hasn't married yet." and passed away."
"What's the matter with this unmarried wife?" Seeing the other party walk away, Heizi was confused.
