Traveling through: The down-and-out beauty refuses to be cannon fodder

Madam Liu saw that Mrs. Jiang knew what she was thinking, so she continued:
"Recently, the emperor decreed that Zhou Shou, the uncle of the country, should be named Uncle Qingyun.

You have been far away in the south of the Yangtze River these years, and you don't know that the Zhou family has been moving around with our family.Now that you are back, you should come out to congratulate me. "

After Fang Ying's death, Mrs. Liu stayed at home as a widow. She and her eldest daughter-in-law, Mrs. Wang, have always kept to themselves, except for a few in-laws.

After the Fang family was deprived of titles, the Zhou family cut off contact with the Fang family, and even sent stewards to give New Year's gifts during festivals.

Today, due to emotion and reason, the Fang family should also go to congratulate the Zhou family.

The identities of Mrs. Liu and Wang are a bit embarrassing, but Jiang, who has not shown her face in the elite circles of the capital, is a good candidate to come forward.

Jiang shi hesitated again and again, but still said: "This matter, why don't you let Shou Ning and Yuan Zhi go with me? After all, they are the blood of the Zhou family..."

After several years of hard life in the south of the Yangtze River, she was suddenly thrown into the circle of the rich and powerful in the capital. She wanted to replace Fang's family to go out to socialize, and she felt a little nervous.

Mrs. Liu pondered for a while and then said: "You are right. At that time, the three of you wives should go together. As for the marriage of the Wang family, news came from Uncle Jingyuan's residence that their girl was not feeling well. I have to raise it again, let us see other people."

In other words, she declined the marriage with Shouning.

Jiang Shi also expected it.If there is no news for so many days, then naturally there is no drama.

Mrs. Jiang hesitated to speak, but Mrs. Liu said: "Don't worry, my sister's granddaughter has also reached the age of marriage. The lady of the British government is not bad. Let's see."

Mrs. Liu sighed: "It's just that, if Shouning becomes an official in the future, without the support of civil servants from his wife's family, he may be alone in the officialdom!"

Fang Shouning has already determined to follow the path of a civil servant, and the Fang family's help to him is limited.If the wife's family can no longer support him, it will be difficult to make a difference.

Instead, Jiang smiled and said: "Mother, don't be impatient. Isn't there still Yuanzhi to count on..."

The core position of the Xu family in the school of literati in the south of the Yangtze River cannot be underestimated.

Mrs. Liu nodded: "After all, our Fang family is a century-old general, and the family inheritance must not be thrown away. In the future, it is more appropriate for Shouxiang and Shoujie to follow the path of generals."

Jiang respectfully said yes.

On the winter solstice, the imperial court has a three-day holiday.Fang Li was supposed to be on vacation too, but he had asked for too much vacation before, and he was on duty this time, so he couldn't come back.

Jiang had no choice but to take Shouning and Yuanzhi to the Zhou family banquet on the second day of the winter solstice.

Jiang Shi was very relieved of the quiet Fang Shouning, but gave a few more words to Yuan Zhi, who was dressed in plain women's clothing: "When you arrive at the Zhou Mansion in a while, follow me, don't walk around at will."

Jiang herself is just a wife of a thousand households, her husband has a small official position, and a military general of the fifth rank is nothing at all in this rich and powerful capital, and she wants to be as cautious as possible in her words and deeds.

Fang Yuanzhi didn't know anyone from the Zhou family, and she followed her mother carefully to socialize.

Fang Yuanzhi really didn't expect that the dignified uncle of the country, the younger brother of the Empress Dowager Zhou, the newly released Uncle Qing Yun, Zhou Shou, was only 24 and five years old, young and handsome, and a good-looking talent.

His wife, Mrs. Sun of Uncle Qingyun, came from the Sun family of Huichang Hou.

Fang Yuanzhi couldn't help sighing, Marquis Chang's vision was really vicious, he tied the Empress Dowager's natal family to the same boat as him by marrying in-laws!
Mrs. Uncle Qingyun is in her sixties, with gray hair. Even though she is old, she can still see that she was a beauty when she was young.

Fang Yuanzhi just paid a visit to Mrs. Uncle Qingyun with his mother, and then was ushered to a side room to drink tea and wait for the banquet to start.

Fang Yuanzhi watched her nose, nose, and heart and thought in her mind that when the banquet was over, she would go outside the city to put incense on Jun Xin's grave.She has arranged for Qingshan to prepare horses and wait nearby with drinks and food.

It's a pity that Baihu was arranged by his father to his uncle and sent to Yunnan to handle errands.Otherwise, she would have more people at her disposal.

Fang Yuanzhi sighed.She originally wanted to find a wife for Bai Hu.Now that there is no other person, it is difficult to implement it.

Xu Chun said that he opened a Jimin Medical Hall for her, and she wanted to visit it, but it was a pity that her stepmother prevented her from going out.

Not long after, someone came to announce the opening of the meeting.

Jiang got up and followed the women one step ahead, Fang Yuanzhi deliberately lagged behind, following the steps of the group of young ladies.

She intentionally separated from Jiang Shi, so that when she left Zhou's house, she would be able to escape.

As they walked, a maid accidentally spilled a cup of tea on Fang Yuanzhi's skirt.

The maid kept apologizing and wiped it for her, but it was a bowl of lei tea, with a bunch of sesame powder and crushed peanuts soaked in it, the more she wiped the skirt, the more it was stained.

Fang Yuanzhi looked at the maid coldly, wanting to see what she was up to.

The maid felt guilty, and said falteringly: "Girl, let me fetch water for you to wipe?"

"What exactly do you want to do?"

The maid flinched and said, "Several masters want to see the girl..."

"Which masters?"

The maid hesitated for a while, but still said: "There is the son of the Marquis of Huichang... and the girl's elder brother, Fang Shouning!"

Seeing Fang Yuanzhi running away, the maid hurriedly called out Brother Fang Yuanzhi's name.

Fang Yuanzhi had already gone a few steps, but she had to stop, and looked back at the maidservant with a sneer.

She knew that she would be in constant trouble if she went here.

But if you don't go, what should you do if those gangsters pester your brother?
My brother's kung fu is not as good as my own!

After struggling again and again, she still planned to follow this maidservant for a while.

Soldiers come to block the water and cover them with soil, just see the tricks and dismantle them!

Fang Yuanzhi followed the maid along the way, and saw a group of young men in brocade clothes talking and joking in a small pavilion by the lake from a distance.

It has to be said that the emperor treated his uncle's family really well. The Qingyunbo mansion bestowed by the emperor was very large and well-repaired, but it was already severe winter and there was nothing to see. The lake was covered with thick ice.

Fang Yuanzhi stopped walking outside the small pavilion, waiting for things to change.

There are seven or eight young people in the pavilion, but she knows four or five of them.

One is Sun Lian, the descendant of the Marquis of Huichang, whose slightly fat figure is best recognized.

In addition, Jiang Jin, the younger brother of Jiang Wan, the Marquis of Dingxi, Zhang Chang of the British government, Fang Shouning, his own brother, and Mao Wen, the eldest son of Nanning Bo.

The elder brother's face was red and red, as if he had just argued with someone.

Sun Lian walked out of the pavilion with bright eyes, saluted and said with a smile: "Sister Yuan Zhi, I don't believe that Prince Mao Wen said bad things about you! But he has a good sense of what he said, and we want to refute it. But there is no way. As a last resort, I invited you here, and I also asked my sister to curb the rumors and set the record straight."

Fang Yuanzhi looked at Sun Lian coldly, and sneered in his heart: "Are you so kind?"

She looked at Mao Wen in the pavilion, saw his serious face, and she understood.

It seemed that he wanted to reveal the fact that he had been married and conceived.

Fang Yuanzhi herself was not afraid of him making a fuss about it.But once this matter spread, the Fang family, whose reputation had already been tarnished, felt even more embarrassed.My brother's marriage, as well as the Xu family who is going to marry me, I'm afraid they can't get off the stage.
