Qian Song

Chapter 123 Wife is more expensive than husband (ask for a monthly ticket!)
...

Prior to this, Shaw had always wanted to see Fang Baihua.

At that time, the general trend of the world was Fang La, and it seemed that Fang La would definitely unify the two Zhejiang regions, or even unify the world.

Shaw therefore wanted to persuade Fang Baihua to persuade Li Cunlai to join Fang La, so that the two families could become one family and resist Zhao Song's siege together.
Besides, it was also because Shaw Brothers really wanted Fang Baihua at that time.

Fang Fei said something well before, that is, Shaw really treats Fang Baihua as her own child, and really treats Fang Baihua as her own child.

And how can a mother not miss her child?

In the end, Fang Baihua refused to see Shao Shi.

This made Shao very sad and very angry, thinking that she had raised Fang Baihua for 20 years in vain.

Then Shaw thought, you Fang Baihua don't want to see me, I haven't seen you yet, you and I won't see each other forever.

Who would have thought that in just a short time, the situation of the two families has completely changed.

Now, even if Shaw is begging, he has to beg Fang Baihua to see her, otherwise her family will be ruined.

Fortunately-

This time, Fang Baihua quickly agreed to see Shao Shi, but because Fang Baihua's current month is too big and it is inconvenient to move, so Shao Shi can only go to Hangzhou.

How could Shaw have time to argue with this, she quickly packed up and headed to Hangzhou.

On the way, Shaw, who was sitting in the carriage, found that Li Cun was harvesting early rice everywhere, and the faces of the people she saw along the way were all filled with joy of harvest, and even a starving corpse was on the way. No, let alone the chaotic scene of "there are hungry women on the road, and the children are abandoned in the grass" that can be seen everywhere in their place.

Shaw once asked Fang La, why is there such a situation in their place?
Fang La replied: "This is all Zhao's fault."

At this moment, Shaw Brothers began to have doubts about Fang La's answer: "Why isn't there such a tragic scene in Li Cun's place?"

Arriving at the city gate of Hangzhou, Shaw saw Fang Baihua standing out from the crowd at a glance.

Compared with the last time we parted, Fang Baihua gained a little weight, but the more obvious change in Fang Baihua was that her lower abdomen was now swollen, and she looked like she was about to give birth.

As soon as Shaw came into the carriage, Fang Baihua greeted him.

When Shao saw it, he hurriedly walked and blamed: "You girl, she is about to give birth, and she is still so frizzy."

While speaking, Shao Shi came to Fang Baihua's side.

Fang Baihua smiled and said: "It's okay, my family's officials say that we should move more in order to facilitate production."

Shao wanted to say: "How can a man understand this, he is just talking nonsense."

But Shao Shi also knew that everyone's identities were different now, and she could no longer tell Fang Baihua what she wanted to say to Fang Baihua like before, especially when it involved Li Cun.

Only then did Shaw realize that Fang Baihua was dressed in rough clothes and only had a wooden hairpin on her head, which seemed to be not much better than when she was at home.

Look at yourself again, dressed in fancy clothes and precious jewelry.

The two stood together, like a maid and a lady.

Shaw wanted to say, why are you in such a miserable situation, is it because Li Cun treats you badly.

But again, the situation between the two families is completely reversed, and Li Cun can decide the fate of his family with a single thought. Therefore, the Shao family has to be cautious when it comes to Li Cun.

So Shaw suppressed his curiosity.

It didn't take long for Shaw to discover that Fang Baihua's prestige in Hangzhou was very high. When people saw Fang Baihua, they would stop and salute Fang Baihua respectfully.

This kind of respect is not hypocritical, nor is it snobbish, and it is not as fearful as the people in their territory when they see her, but respect from the bottom of their hearts.

Fang Baihua behaved very grandly. When someone greeted her, she would always respond with a smile and nod.

Seeing this, Shaw couldn't help but asked curiously: "The people in your family respect you very much?"

Fang Baihua lowered his voice and said to Shaw: "It's all taught by my family's officials."

Shao Shi became even more curious: "What do you mean by that?"

Fang Baihua replied: "My family's officials say that my family has many daughters from aristocratic families. Compared with family background, talent and knowledge, I am not as good as her, only virtuous."

Fang Baihua took the initiative to talk again: "My family's officials often tell me about a horse lady. I imitate her, and I am really loved by my sisters and people. My family's officials also praised me for my virtue, saying that he is the greatest blessing in his life. With millions of soldiers and occupying several states, you will meet me."

As soon as Shaw heard it, he guessed that Li Cun was using the story of Mrs. Ma to teach his wife.

But then again, Fang Baihua couldn't be loved by the people under his rule just because of this, it must be that the place Li Cun governed must be recognized by the people, so that Fang Baihua can be a wife and a husband.

At the same time, Shaw also felt that Li Cun had made a fortune now, and among his concubines there were many daughters from a first-class family in Liangzhe area like Qian, who could not get tired of Fang Baihua, who was not very beautiful and even had some flaws. His family can't help his wife who always makes trouble for him, but a very patient godwife, which is enough to show that Fang Baihua has no trust in others, and it is also enough to show that Li Cun is not an ungrateful person.

At this moment, Shao Shi was really happy for Fang Baihua.

Until Shaw saw more than 100 women in Li Cun's house, among them there were twenty or thirty pregnant women.

Shaw found an opportunity to ask Fang Baihua in a low voice, "Is she waiting for the concubine of Du Dudu?"

Fang Baihua nodded: "Not bad."

Shao frowned and said, "The governor is so obsessed with female sex, it's not a good thing."

Fang Baihua shook his head when he heard the words: "My family is different from ordinary families. If the heirs are not prosperous, it will be a disaster."

After hesitating again and again, Fang Baihua persuaded the Shao family: "Sister-in-law should take three or two concubines for the elder brother, and give birth to three, five or seven sons, so as to strengthen Fang's family."

Taking a concubine for Fang La is something that Shaw Brothers don't even think about.

Shao Shi didn't like to listen to Fang Baihua's words either, she felt that Fang Hao, a son between herself and Fang La, was enough.

In addition, Shao felt that Fang Baihua's words meant to curse Fang Hao.

If this happened in the past, Shaw Brothers would definitely want to teach Fang Baihua a few words.

But now, the Shaw Brothers still had something to ask Fang Baihua for, so they could only choose to believe that Fang Baihua had good intentions.

Shao forced out a smile: "Your brother doesn't like women."

Seeing this, Fang Baihua didn't force her to persuade her - after all, it was a family affair, and she was an outsider now.

Fang Baihua led Shao Shi to look around her home, and arranged for Shao Shi to have a light meal.

It was the first time for Shaw to eat with more than 100 women, and he was not used to it. Besides, Fang Baihua and the others still ate simple food, which made Shaw, who was used to a luxurious life, very uncomfortable.

Therefore, Shaw just took two symbolic bites and put down the bowl and chopsticks.

Seeing this, Fang Baihua asked, "But the food is not to my sister-in-law's liking, I'll go and ask the kitchen to add two more dishes for my sister-in-law."

Shao shook his head: "No, it's just that I miss the front line in my heart. If I fail to return to the defense in time, my family will be in disaster."

Fang Baihua said: "When you are here, ask my brother to order the army to return to defense."

Shao wanted to speak but stopped.

Fang Baihua saw it, and said with a smile: "But my brother is afraid that my officials will ignore the overall situation?"

Shaw did not speak, acquiescing to Fang Baihua's guess.

Fang Baihua said with a smile: "Your family's army can withdraw as well, my family will definitely not do such things that add insult to injury."

Fang Baihua's promise made Shao Shi happy, but Shao Shi was a little worried that Fang Baihua would not be able to make the decision.

So Shaw still didn't speak.

Fang Baihua saw her, and said with a smile: "Sister-in-law, don't worry, my officials have already agreed to this matter, and I will relay it."

When Shaw heard this, he said, "When you are here, can you ask the governor to speak to me face to face?"

Fang Baihua shook his head: "Others are not at home, I can ask Zhang Sima or Lu Changshi to speak to my sister-in-law on behalf of my family officials."

Back then, when Zhang Shi saw Shao Shi, every time he laughed before saying anything, he nodded and bowed his head. Shaw Shi would not have believed in the promise of Zhang Shi, who was eating and drinking everywhere.

As for General Lu, I'm sorry, the Shao family has never heard of it.

Therefore, Shaw still used the old method, that is, expressed her disagreement with silence.

Fang Baihua seemed to be forced by Shao Shi to have no choice but to take out a letter and hand it to Shao Shi.

Shaw opened it and took a look:
I love my wife so much, drink tea under the moon, and miss Qing Tianya...

With just one glance, Shaw not only spat secretly, but also thought that Li Cun was too nasty, so he talked about love when he came up.

Looking further down, they are almost all love words, like "I love you at first sight, but you are still pounding after a long time", throwing money at Fang Baihua as if she didn't want money.

Shao understood, no wonder Fang Baihua was so devoted to Li Cun.

She thought to herself, this Li Cun is too good at it, what kind of woman can not be knocked out by such love words?

But if you continue to look down, Shao can't laugh anymore.

I saw the letter read: "If the eldest brother sends someone to discuss the withdrawal of the army, you can tell him clearly that he will withdraw from the five prefectures of Yue, Taiwan, Chu, Qu, and Xin. I will let his army go west, or I will take it myself."

Shao quickly put down the letter, and said anxiously: "Your family wants to take my family in southern Zhejiang?"

Fang Baihua frowned and said, "Southern Zhejiang is originally my family's land, but elder brother took advantage of my family's officials to kill the enemy at the front and stole it."

Shao argued: "The Zhao family in southern Zhejiang owns it. Whoever owns it belongs to whom. How can it be crowned by stealing?"

Fang Baihua retorted: "When we were in Qingxi, you and I had a covenant to attack the Song Dynasty together. Those who broke the covenant were rejected by heaven and others. However, my family's officials fought against the enemy on the front line, but my elder brother violated the covenant and refused to go to Jingxiang. My home in southern Zhejiang is pointing directly at Hangzhou, and everyone knows what they want to do. Now that the Song army has come to attack your home, my family will not take revenge. Let your army go back to the west, and only restore my home in southern Zhejiang.

Shao wanted to argue again, but Fang Baihua said: "If my sister-in-law thinks that my younger sister is unfair, you can find someone else to discuss this matter with my family's officials, and don't make it difficult for my younger sister."

Speaking of this incident, Fang Baihua was still full of anger. Li Cun was fighting on the front line, but her brother Fang La sent an army of one million to surround her house.

How does this make others see her?

Moreover, he still wanted to see her at that time, what did he want to do?
To be honest, Li Cun was supporting Fang Baihua, otherwise others might have suggested that Li Cunxiu marry Fang Baihua and marry someone like Qian to strengthen the prestige of the Huben Army.

The Shaw Brothers could see that Fang Baihua said it grandly, but in fact she didn't do anything about it. What she promised before was all agreed by Li Cun. She didn't benefit the Fang family at all. strive for.

Shao Shi was very disappointed, feeling that he and Fang Labai had raised Fang Baihua once.

Fang Baihua was also very uncomfortable. Others' natal family could do something for her family, but her natal family could only make trouble for her family. How could she gain a foothold in her family? !

Speaking of this, Shaw Brothers and Fang Baihua couldn't talk anymore.

And Zhexi was so anxious that they almost went to the house.

So Shao could only leave with this unsatisfactory condition.

After Shao Shi left, a person came out from the back room.

Take a closer look, this person is not Li Cun, who is it...
