Chapter 67 Silver
Fanyin was surprised when she received the invitation from the county magistrate's office, but after she was surprised, she carefully considered whether this matter was good or bad for her.

Yesterday I taught Zhu Jiu a lesson, Fanyin also knew that this matter was a bit too much, the so-called dog beating depends on the owner, and Zhu Jiu's owner is not Fang Jingzhi, but Mrs. Fang.

"Please return to Mrs. Fang. It is a great honor for Huai Liu to be able to accompany Mrs. to burn incense. I will be waiting for that day..."

Sanskrit smiled and replied, and asked Caiyun to bring a bowl of warm soup, "Drink the warm soup before leaving, come all the way before going back, don't freeze your body."

The servant responded with a smile, because the weather is indeed cold now, that bowl of steaming soup makes one's heart warm, if he can drink a few sips before returning, he will feel comfortable.

After sending the servants away, Sanskrit went back to the house and accompanied Mrs. Fang to the temple fair and stove meeting. She had to carefully consider her clothes and attire, but only if she knew Mrs. Fang's intentions.

Qing Miao also came in from the outside, Sanskrit asked her: "Does Mrs. Fang hold a stove meeting every year at the beginning of October?"

"It's not held every year. The last time was the year before last. Several officials and wives from neighboring counties came to our place, and Madam took the opportunity to have a banquet." Qing Miao had lived in that yard, so she naturally understood these things, "Just now, the slaves also asked about the message. This time, all the ladies and young masters and young ladies from various prefectures are invited. You are the only one who will accompany Mrs. Fang to the temple fair."

Sanskrit frowned slightly, and then said: "Before you were able to talk in front of Mrs. Fang, but now you will accompany me this time, and you will also take care of the clothes and etiquette, so I don't have to worry about it. Otherwise, you’ll have to ask around.”

"Miss can trust the servant, and the servant will do it!" Qing Miao was very happy, at least Sanskrit had started to use her again.

Although the Yang family is not comparable to the county magistrate's mansion, she is only a second-class maid there, and she will only be the steward of the family or the daughter-in-law of a small business when she is allowed to go out in the future. Or in the future, I will get the status of an aunt and concubine with the master?
After receiving Sanskrit, Qing Miao immediately went into the house to busy choose. Sanskrit sat alone at the table thinking about it, but she couldn't think of anything with only such a little information. After all, there are still some days to go, so it's not urgent, and she will also have some time at night. Ask your father about it.

The news of Mrs. Fang's stove meeting quickly spread.

This time, the women's family members and young masters and young ladies from various prefectures were invited. Not only the people in the county yamen got the invitations, but even the big families in Qingcheng County were invited.

Originally, the first day of October was a festival for offering sacrifices to friends, but now Mrs. Fang held another big banquet, and the whole Qingcheng County was buzzing with excitement.

Mrs. Chen can't sit still these days!
In the first few days, she wanted to go to Yang's house to ease the relationship, but who knew that the maid sent by Mrs. Fang was so vicious, and the servants went over and scolded her with their hips on their hips without even seeing her. Mrs. Chen herself had to shut the door twice , she didn't dare to hit the Yang family's idea again.

But now that Madam Fang has invited everyone, she can't help being moved.

Although the invitations were all female relatives and juniors, those who accepted the post knew that Mrs. Fang's move had already classified the big and small families in Qingcheng County. When they met in the past few days, they would ask if they got an invitation. If not, Those eyes cannot fit Madam Fang's eyes, and they are not in the same ranks.

The master of the Chen family asked her several times if she got the post. Madam Chen could only shake her head speechlessly. After all, he bribed Mrs. Fang's mother Chang to find a way out.

Chang's mother found out that it was the Chen family who didn't immediately agree. She also wanted to test Mrs. Xia's intentions.

The last time the Chen family displeased their master, they often brought up the relationship between the Xuanfutai and the Zhi adults' staff. As the saying goes, the county magistrate is not as good as the current one. Who is the Qingtian master in Qingcheng County?Doesn't it have to be Fang County Magistrate?
What's more, their relatives are just aides, not Xuanfutai Tongzhi adults, so what's there to show off?
Originally, Chang's mother wanted to refuse directly, but the people below said that the Chen family was bleeding this time and took 30 taels of silver. They also said that if the matter was settled, they would give another sum if they got Mrs. Fang's invitation.

The official's monthly salary is only two or three taels a month, and the Chen family's bribe of such a large sum of money will inevitably make Chang's mother tempted.

After receiving the replies from various prefectures, Chang's mother went to reply to Mrs. Fang.

"Madam originally only wanted to hold a small stove meeting, but she didn't expect that now the whole city will follow suit, not only replies from every household, but also people who have come to the old slave to ask for a post. Those who serve by Madam's side don't dare to agree easily, but I heard that someone has divided the people you invited into ranks, which may go against your original intention, do you want to relax?"

Chang's mother said with a smile, and the corners of Madam Fang's mouth moved slightly, "It can't be helped, originally I just wanted to find some friends to get together in a small area, these people are thinking too much, who can ask mother On the head? I want to give this face."

It's not the first day that Mrs. Fang and Mama Chang have known each other, so she should understand what she means.

"It's the Chen family." Chang's mother mentioned the Chen family in case Mrs. Fang would not remember, "It's Chen Fugui's family, which was even involved with Master Yang."

"It's actually their family." Mrs. Fang's face showed a bit of displeasure, and Chang's mother hurriedly said:

"It's no wonder their family is in a hurry. Since the master got angry last time, Zhang Xianwei checked and sealed their shop. He heard that he found Master Yang, but Master Yang ignored him at all, so this is beating around the bush. I don’t know how many people have been found, even the old slaves have been found, it is estimated that life is difficult.”

"The master has issued an order to return the gifts from their family." Mrs. Fang hesitated, and she also complained that Chang's mother was ignorant.

Chang's mother was taken aback. At this time, whether it was for the money or her status with the wife, she had to find a way to get this matter over, otherwise she would be making a big mistake.

"Ma'am, let the old slave say something unpleasant. The master got angry with the Chen family. In fact, he was also trying to appease Master Yang. Master Yang was indeed wronged by Wu County Chancellor, but it has been a long time ago. If the Chen family can get on the line with Master Xuanfutai at any rate, it won’t be wrong for Master Yang to be affected by Master Yang.”

"Let me consider this matter." Mrs. Fang just declined, and Chang's mother hurriedly said: "It's Mrs. Yi. Offending a gentleman is not offending a villain. The Chen family is a family of villains, so the old servant came to discuss with Madam. "

Chang's mother's last sentence was the most important thing. Madam Fang looked at her, but she saw that Chang's mother also had a look of helplessness on her face.

"It's nothing more than a post, and I'll fulfill your favor. Remember to tell the Chen family to honor you with more money, so that this post doesn't lose weight." Mrs. Fang smiled at Chang's mother, who immediately knelt down. He kowtowed, "Thank you, Madam, this old slave is rewarded by Madam for his wealth, and I only remember Madam's love!"

Mrs. Chen was ecstatic when she received Chang's mother's reply.

Master Chen didn't care about the cold war between the husband and wife, so he immediately asked someone to wrap up a hundred taels of silver and send it to Chang's mother.

Mother Chang didn't see Mrs. Chen at all, but ordered the servants below to get the money, and strictly warned:

"Don't cause trouble this time. If you break a taboo, don't blame me for being rude!"

"Absolutely not, don't worry! Don't worry!"

Mrs. Chen sent the servant away, trembling with the post in her hand, Master Chen immediately asked someone to go out and tell others that the Chen family had also been invited by Mrs. Fang to show their status as the Chen family.

Chen Yingzhi didn't feel the slightest joy when she heard the news, so what if she didn't go?None of her husbands will marry her again.

Thinking of that young crop next door, she felt resentful. She was prettier than her, slimmer than her, younger and more pleasing than her, and she was dedicated to serve Master Yang...

The veil in my hand was almost torn apart...

Mrs. Chen summoned someone to measure Chen Yingzhi's clothes, and this time, she decided to let her family shine and get rid of the bad luck a while ago.

Chen Yingzhi watched her mother busy, and couldn't help asking: "Is Yang Huailiu going too?"

"Go!" Mrs. Chen had inquired about the news a long time ago, "How could she be missing? Now Master Yang is a celebrity in front of the county magistrate..."

Chen Yingzhi asked: "Did that dead maid also follow?"

When mentioning young crops, Mrs. Chen froze for a moment, quickly put down her clothes and sat down, carefully exhorting:

"Daughter, that's just a maid. In the future, Master Yang will take over the house and she will be just a concubine. What do you care about with a maid?"

"I just care about it! Back then you said you wanted to punish Yang Huailiu, but now not only Yang Huailiu is living a happy life, but there is also an extra maid! Mother, how can I live this life now? I will not marry anyone except my husband!" Chen Yingzhi said Mist welled up in his eyes, "No one will marry!"

Mrs. Chen sighed, where is she choosing now?It was the person who chose her... Mrs. Chen has long since lost the little calculations she had before. After going through these few incidents, she has already understood the reason why businessmen are cheap...

"Now it's even more difficult for you to have a relationship with Master Yang. If you still have this heart, you can't resent Yang Huailiu and that maid. You have to get on good terms with them, otherwise... Mother is helpless!"

After Mrs. Chen said it, Chen Yingzhi seemed to be possessed, "What you said is true?"

"How could mother lie to you?"

Mrs. Chen felt distressed as she touched her little face, "As long as Yang Huailiu nods, Master Yang won't be disgusted with us anymore, if you want to wait until Yang Huailiu gets married before bringing this matter up, I'm afraid it won't be your turn. "

Chen Yingzhi looked at the sky in a nympho, muttering in her mouth: "I am good with her, I will definitely get along well with her, for the sake of my husband, I will risk everything!"
