Twin Brocade

Chapter 251 What a pity

Fang Jinhui nodded sullenly, and forced a smile: "Don't worry, mother, I'm leaving." Seeing her expression, Fang Jinshu secretly clenched his fists.No matter who the person behind is, she will definitely find him out!

After the two daughters left, Si Lansheng checked the gift list again, and then ordered his servants to set up a carriage and head for the Gong Mansion.

Yesterday we made an agreement about today's visit, Mrs. Gong sent a capable nun to wait at the Chuihua Gate, and when Si Lansheng arrived, she would lead her to the inner courtyard.

The Gong family behaved in a low-key and peaceful manner, as could be seen from Mrs. Gong's actions.Even if the two families can't become in-laws, Si Lansheng, who is the lowest rank in Gong's family, has done enough etiquette to visit, and there is no intention of neglecting it.

"Ma'am, our wife has been talking about it for a long time, and I look forward to seeing you come to our house sometime." The nanny led the way in front, smiling and saying polite words, as if what happened yesterday was completely different. Existence is general.

When they arrived in the small hall, the mother ordered tea to be brewed and served, and the little maid brought cakes.

"Ma'am, please try it. This is the mille-feuille cake newly made in the house, according to my wife's orders." The nurse introduced each of them with enthusiasm: "This is rose cake. If you think which one is better, you can pack some back. , to satisfy the children's hunger."

The Gong family's attitude put half of Si Lansheng's heart at ease.Regardless of whether the marriage is successful or not, she will not be embarrassed.At worst, he can also make friends with the Gong family.

Just after taking a few sips of tea, Mrs. Gong arrived.She was wearing a half-new double-breasted jacket, her hair was pulled up in a simple bun, and she only wore a green jadeite bracelet on her hand.

This whole body attire is dignified and leisurely, and this is treating Si Lansheng as a family favor.

Si Lansheng was moved, leaned forward and said, "I should have come earlier, but I'm afraid it will disturb your purity."

As she spoke, she signaled Yanxia to present the gift list to Mrs. Gong's maid, and said: "Weizhou's hometown brought some fresh specialties, I picked up a few and brought them, it's nothing rare, please don't dislike it. "

Regarding this gift list, Si Lansheng considered it over and over again.If it's serious, I'm afraid that the Fang family will appear too guilty; if it's light, I'm worried that the Gong family will feel that they are not sincere.After tossing the things in the warehouse a few times, I finally settled on such a moderate order.

The servant girl showed the gift list to Mrs. Gong, and Mrs. Gong smiled and said, "You are too polite. Although our two families have not moved much in the past, the father-in-law is a minister in the same palace, and has the friendship of colleagues."

"You just come, what gift do you need to bring?" She told the nanny: "Go and see, how much is the new plum blossom lip balm in the mansion recently? Take some and let the eldest wife of the Si family take it back. It's also mine. A lot of thought."

With such a return gift, it shows that Si Lansheng is not treated as an outsider.

Si Lansheng exhaled lightly, and asked about Meihua's lip balm, and the two chatted and laughed.They are all housewives who understand the rules of communication, only talk about makeup and jewelry, laugh and feast, and have no grievances.

The atmosphere gradually heated up.

After a while, Mrs. Gong ordered: "The tea is a bit cold, go and get another pot. These pastries are also removed, go to the kitchen to see if the stewed snow fungus soup is ready, and bring two bowls."

The maid next to her agreed, took the little maid to clean up the remaining cakes on the table, and retreated.

Without Si Lansheng winking, Yanxia also stepped forward to help, retreated with them, turned around and gently closed the door.

It's time to talk about serious business, Si Lansheng understood in her heart, and said firstly, "Is your son awake?"

Mrs. Gong sighed slightly: "I haven't woken up yet, so I'm worried." Even if the imperial doctor assured her again and again, Gong Wenjue was fine, but how could she let go of her mother's heart?

"It's all our family's fault." Si Lansheng apologized, stood up and saluted, "Your son has been implicated."

Mrs. Gong hurriedly supported her to prevent her from squatting down, and said: "Don't say that. I know, this is definitely not what you want."

Si Lansheng took her hand and got up, pressed the corners of his eyes sadly, and said, "Miss Pei is also a girl of the Fang family. She made such a big mistake, and I, my cousin, should also be responsible."

"I knew the situation of your second room early in the morning." Mrs. Gong said: "You said that you are the cousin, can you still discipline her parents?"

"That being said, I'm still not at ease." Si Lansheng said, "I sent her to Sansheng Nunnery early this morning, hoping that she can atone for your son's sin."

She told Fang Jinpei's punishment of the Fang family, and she had to let Mrs. Gong give her a sigh of relief.

"Just tell me what you think. Since she dares to do it, she has to bear the consequences."

"As long as I think my brother can wake up, everything is easy to talk about." Mrs. Gong is not easy to fool, she naturally understands that Fang Jinpei's matter itself is not simple, and she sees some contradictions.

However, the people behind the scenes were obviously targeting the Fang family, and she had no intention of getting involved in this muddy water.For her, as long as her son is safe and sound, that's enough.

"There are a lot of adults who have thanked my wife." Si Lansheng said.

Now that this matter is revealed, it's time to talk about the marriage of the two families.

Mrs. Gong felt a little helpless when her husband's words sounded in her heart last night, but she had to do so.He took the teacup and sipped it slowly, only to find it hard to speak when the words came to his lips.

After a moment of silence, Si Lansheng broke the silence, and said with a wry smile: "If you have anything to say, madam, you might as well speak up." Mrs. Gong's attitude actually explained everything, but she was not reconciled and wanted to hear something clear.

"Well, I'll make it clear." Mrs. Gong said: "Before our two families are engaged, the children's marriage, let's let it go."

"I know you don't want Sister Hui to enter the palace, so I won't delay you. The first month is not over yet, so hurry up. I'll also keep an eye out for you. If there is a suitable candidate, I will send someone to follow you Say."

Si Lansheng's mouth was full of bitterness, and he replied with difficulty: "That's it, thank you."

Why is her sister Hui so miserable?It was obvious that Fang Jinpei was instigated by someone, and Mrs. Gong must have understood it, but in the end it was Fang Jinhui who had no faults in bearing the consequences.

Si Lansheng exhausted all his strength to maintain the smile on his face.In her heart, she hated Fang Jinpei very much.Going to the Sansheng Nunnery for one year is not enough, at least ten or eight years, it is called paying the price!
Seeing her like this, Mrs. Gong was also a little sad.

Originally, she had only heard of Fang Jinhui's good name, but after the two families reached a verbal marriage intention, the more she looked at it, the more she felt that Fang Jinhui was pleasing to the eye and fit her ideal daughter-in-law candidate.

What a pity!Good two kids.

The room fell silent, there was a rush of footsteps from outside, the sound of maids saluting, and then the door was pushed open from the outside.
