The slave family is not a disaster

Chapter 195
"What's the meaning of the concubine's words? Do you have to report to the court one by one for such a trivial matter as marriage and childbirth?" Fang Hezhou smiled wryly.

"I thought you were an infatuated person, but I didn't expect you to be so frivolous. You are just an ordinary person who can't be ordinary. I really feel unworthy for her." Although Ye Anran knew that her sister hoped that Fang Hezhou would marry a wife and have children in the future. , lived a peaceful and happy life, but when she saw with her own eyes that there was another woman beside him, Ye Anran suddenly felt sore in her heart. She always felt that this should belong to her sister's happiness, but she insisted She was completely destroyed by herself. Although her sister never blamed her, she still felt extremely uncomfortable, or she felt unbalanced because of her sister.

"The concubine is just joking. I am an ordinary person, and I am only an ordinary person. Why talk about infatuation? Let's not talk about it. Today, I specially invited the prince and concubine to a banquet." It seems that Fang He Zhou didn't want to talk about anything about Ye Anyao.

Ye Anran was extremely angry, and turned around to leave, but was pulled back by Jue Xigong, who whispered softly: "Anran, don't be arrogant, let's sit down first and then talk."

Indeed, even if Fang Hezhou is just a magistrate, and entertains the Ruian Wang couple with good intentions, if they really turn around and leave, there will only be rumors outside that the princes and his wife put on a show and don't give face to the Yangzhou magistrate. In this case, it is hard to say Nice to hear.

Ye Anran didn't speak, but let Nishigongjue turn around and follow in...

Fanghezhou's house is really too small, the entire yard is not as big as Ye Anran's Chunxiao Pavilion, and the outer hall for banquets is extremely simple, it can only seat five or six people.

Xi Gongjue looked around and nodded frequently. These days, there are not many officials who are so clean and honest. This Fanghe Prefecture can be regarded as a good official. At least he does not exploit the common people. If he really wants to be greedy, how can Yangzhou be so prosperous? The best thing is to change yourself to a big house.

At this time, I saw Fang Hezhou's wife Fang Li slowly got up and said: "Let's serve."

Seeing two maidservants in common clothes walk in, ten dishes, most of which are vegetarian dishes based on green vegetables, Fang Li smiled apologetically: "My lord, my concubine, I'm really sorry, there is nothing good in the mansion to sell, these are all It's some rough tea and light meals made by the courtiers themselves, please don't dislike the prince and princess."

"Where, Mrs. Fang has worked hard." Faced with such warm hospitality, Jue Nishinomiya couldn't say anything, so he could only respond politely.

And Ye Anran obviously hasn't passed that level of energy yet, and his face is still very gloomy...

"It's rare for the concubine to come back to Yangzhou. This time, do you want to stay longer?" Mrs. Fang asked with a smile.

"No, Yangzhou has nothing to miss. It's not as prosperous as Bianjing, so we'll leave in a few days." Ye Anran answered in a clear-faced manner.

Although she told herself in her heart that all of this has nothing to do with Mrs. Fang today, but when she thought that she took the position of her sister, she couldn't get angry.

Xi Gongjue was stunned, it was the first time he saw Ye Anran like this, just like a child, he didn't speak well, he acted impulsively, before in the palace, Song Siyan and Xiangyi, including Madam Jing, bullied her like that, she didn't have such dissatisfaction Calmness shows how important her sister's position is in her heart, so that Ye Anran, who has always been calm, shows all her emotions on her face.

Fang Hezhou was also at a loss...

"Ah, that is, that is, Bianjing is the imperial capital, so it is naturally very prosperous. How can a small place like Yangzhou compare with the imperial capital?" Although I don't know why this princess keeps targeting me, Mrs. Fang is still very virtuous. Rounded the field.

At this time, Ye Anran asked provocatively: "I heard Mrs. Fang's words and demeanor are like a big family, I don't know which family she came from? I think, since she is Mrs. Fang's first wife, she must be from a famous family?" Ye Anran was heartbroken. Thinking about it, she didn't believe that Fang Hezhou's wife had a better background than her own sister.

In terms of beauty, in Yangzhou, and even in the entire Tianmu country, there is no sister from the Ye family who can compare, so in terms of family background, you have to think about it?

Sure enough, Mrs. Fang's face changed when she mentioned her background, and then she looked at Fang Hezhou in embarrassment, as if asking herself what to say?
Fang Hezhou answered: "I'll answer the question of the princess, the lady is not from a famous family, not even a businessman, she is the daughter of a farmer in Wanxi Village sixteen miles away. It's that simple to get acquainted when people are in love."

After Fang Hezhou finished speaking, Ye Anran and Xi Gongjue were a little stunned. They didn't expect that the wife of the magistrate of Yangzhou was a small village girl with no family background. This was simply a fantasy in the ancient feudal society. .

"Ah? So Mrs. Fang came from a farming family?" Ye Anran glanced at Mrs. Fang contemptuously and said, not because she looked down on the farming family, but because Fang Hezhou didn't marry his sister.

"Yeah, Weichen was a poor scholar since he was a child, so he can't get used to those noble daughters. I think two people fall in love not because of each other's wealth or what family they come from, but because of their sincerity. What do you think? ?" Speaking of this, Fang Hezhou felt a dull pain in his heart, perhaps the biggest mistake in his life was falling in love with Ye Anyao, one of the two beauties in Yangzhou, and the daughter of the richest man in Yangzhou.

"Is that so? When did Mr. Fang become so reasonable? I thought he was still the arrogant scholar from before?" Ye Anran didn't think so, and sarcastically said.

"Huh? It turns out that the husband and the concubine met before?" The Mrs. Fang obviously didn't understand the subtle relationship between the two.

"Didn't your husband say this? We are not only old, but we almost became relatives?" Ye Anran said angrily.

"Anran, that's enough." Xigongjue warned in a low voice, Xigongjue could see that Ye Anran was here to find fault tonight, if this continues, there might be a quarrel in a while.

"Lord Fang, it's getting late. The king and princess are tired after swimming in the Slender West Lake for a day. Let's go first." Xi Gongjue grabbed Ye Anran's waist and stood up to say goodbye.

"My lord, wait a moment." Then Fang Hezhou hurried into the inner hall, took out a bag full of silver and handed it to Ye Anran, and said, "My lord, you lent me the money to go to Beijing for the exam. The humble minister has already saved enough, and I will return it in full."

"No need, a mere 100 taels of silver is not enough for our Ye family to drink a pot of good tea. It was not for her that I lent you the money back then. Now that she is no longer here, why return my money? You can keep it. "It seems that Ye Anran has no intention of getting back the 100 taels of silver.

"No, the concubine should keep it. It's only natural to pay back the debt." Fang Hezhou seemed to be serious, not joking.

"Okay, then I'll take it for An Ran first." Although I don't know what the 100 taels are about, but it depends on Fanghe Prefecture, if they don't accept the money, they won't let them go, so Xi Gongjue Take the initiative to take the money.

"Okay, then please go slowly, my lord." Fang Hezhou and his wife saluted slightly and bid farewell to Xi Gongjue and Ye Anran.

On the carriage back, Ye Anran was in a very bad mood and didn't say a word.

"Hey, you won't be angry with me, are you? Just because I took the 100 taels for you?" Nishinomiya asked cautiously.

"No, it's none of your business. This Fanghe Prefecture is too hateful. If my sister hadn't begged me, I really shouldn't have asked him to be a magistrate, lest he be so arrogant now." Ye Anran said angrily.

Xigong Jue laughed: "I don't think so, maybe you really did a good deed. I think that Fanghezhou is quite upright, and his family is barren and his sleeves are clean. Maybe he is a good official."

"Good official? Just kidding, he is an out-and-out nerd. I really don't understand why my sister fell in love with him." Ye Anran cursed in anger.

"Anran, are you seeing that he is now marrying a wife and having children, and he is fighting for your sister?" Seeing through Ye Anran's careful thinking, Nishinomiya laughed.

"You're talking nonsense, I didn't, I just...just don't like his demeanor." Ye Anran lacked confidence.

"He doesn't look like a villain. You are hostile to him. Come on, take the silver taels. I really don't see that you are quite rich. You can lend 100 taels to others casually. I think you can." Are you going to lend usury?" Said Nishi Gongjue and handed the silver to Ye Anran.

Looking at the 100 taels of silver, Ye Anran recalled the original scene in Ye Anran's mind. On that day, the scholar didn't want to go to Beijing to take the exam because he didn't have any silver, and his mother was still bedridden.

Rejecting Ye Anyao's kindness, Xiu Xiucai stubbornly refused to take Ye Anyao's money. Ye Anran thought of this way temporarily and lent him the money. At that time, Ye Anran thought that her sister would follow him for the rest of her life.

However, the world is unpredictable. Today's sister is already the high-ranking Ye Zhaoyi, and the scholar is not the poor scholar of the past, but has become the upright magistrate of Yangzhou with two sleeves. God's will tricks people.

"Tell me about the 100 taels. I'm very interested in that Fanghe state." Xi Gongjue said unprecedentedly.

"There's nothing to talk about. It's just that his family was poor back then, so he didn't bother to go to Beijing to take the exam, and his mother was sick in bed. My sister was obsessed with him at that time and insisted on giving him money to help him, but He refused verbally, so my sister told me the matter very depressed. I knew that although he was poor, he had a backbone, so I used this method, saying that I would lend him the money and pay it back to me after he was in high school. " Ye Anran slowly talked about the past, with a little helplessness in his tone.

"Actually, when you lent it to him, you never thought of asking him to return it, did you?" Xi Gongjue pondered.

"Well, at that time, I thought he and my sister would be able to be together, so I didn't think so much. It's ironic. A year later, he actually returned the money to me. If my sister knew...she must be very sad." Ye An Ran sighed in a low voice.

"An Ran, in fact, I think your sister may want to see him live well. It is a good thing for him to marry a wife and have children. What if he is alone all his life? It is impossible for him to be with your sister, so you don't want to. I'm worried about this moment, it will only be very tiring." For the first time in his life, Jue Nishinomiya analyzed a matter properly, and his tone became gentle.

"Maybe, but I can't get over this hurdle in my heart. I always feel that if he doesn't marry his sister, he's a betrayer." Ye Anran bit her lip and said.

Later, another scene appeared in Ye Anran's mind, that is, one day her sister mysteriously told her that she had a sweetheart. At that time, her sister smiled very sweetly and happily, but after entering the palace, she never saw her like that again. smile.

"An Ran, what are you thinking?" Seeing her in a daze, Nishi Gongjue shook his hand in front of her.

"No, nothing." Ye Anran recovered in a panic.

"Anran." Xi Gongjue called softly.

"En?" Ye Anran raised her head ignorantly, wondering what the hell this man is going to do?

"Your illness is already cured, so let's go back tonight... can we sleep in the same room?" Xi Gongjue said with a wicked smile.
