The Ups and Downs of Mrs. Yipin

Chapter 14
After Fang Xiuyi went out, she happened to pass by a man, and she didn't look much, so she walked directly to the back. At this moment, she had already thought about how to pack her things, where to go after packing, and what to do next. What to do in one step, how many thoughts flashed by.She didn't see the man and looked back at her. She just said to Sandong: "Sandong, you don't have to send me there. I'll go back and pack my things now. I'll come back to thank you after I'm done."

"Ms. Fang, don't worry. My lord is just talking casually. He usually appreciates your cooking skills very much."

"Sandong, don't comfort me. I know, when an adult speaks, he will naturally say the same thing."

"You don't need to worry. Although the adults said that, it doesn't mean that you should leave now. You stay for one night and don't think about yourself. You have to think about your two children, right?"

Fang Xiu thought for a while and said, "Then I'll trouble you Sandong. I'll leave tomorrow. Just go back."

Sandong opened his mouth and didn't say anything, how could he easily change what the adults said, let's see if there will be a turnaround after one night.

He Huai'an stared at the door tightly without saying a word.

"My lord, Chen Ming is back!" Sandong went in and informed Chen Ming by the way.

"Come in!"

"My lord!" Chen Ming was a young man with an ordinary appearance and figure, but he seemed very flexible.

"Get up, why did you come back suddenly and didn't say anything beforehand?" He Huai'an sent Chen Ming out more than a month ago to inquire about Fang Xiuyi and the two children.

"My lord, the main reason is that there are too many things to say. As you know, I can write a few words, but if I have to write a long speech, it is half my life. I thought, anyway, the news has to be passed back, so why don't I come back by myself?" , to make it clearer."

"Is there something that needs your long speech?"

"By the way, my lord, was that Cook Fang the one who went out just now?"

He Huai'an glanced sideways at Chen Ming, which made Chen Ming very uncomfortable.

"Ahem, I don't mean anything else, I just think her looks are really pretty."

"Why, you've only been out for a few days, and you know you're talking nonsense in front of me?"

"No, I just suddenly remembered something about this cook Fang in Shaoxing Mansion."

"What can make you suddenly notice other people's appearance?"

Chen Ming seemed to hear that his lord's tone was not kind, but he didn't know why, after watching Ban Xia and San Dong, they showed no expression or any hint, so he had no choice but to bite the bullet and continue.

"Didn't your lord ask me to inquire about this Fang Xiuyi? I only found Shaoxing mansion. She met a bully in Shaoxing mansion. She suffered a bit under the hands of the bully's wife and was almost disfigured. That's why I read more Two eyes."

"What's going on?" He Huai'an thought that Fang Xiuyi's life with the two children would be very difficult, but he felt a little uncomfortable after being told so.

Chen Ming took out a booklet from his pocket, flipped through a few pages, and started talking.

"When Mrs. Fang was in Shaoxing, because she had to take care of her two children and her mother-in-law, she washed clothes for several households. She also cooked for a scholar named Dong and took care of the scholar's old mother. Suddenly one day, Mrs. Fang On the street, Tongzhi's son fell in love with him, and he insisted on Fang Shi being his eighth concubine. Fang would rather die than obey, and was locked up by Tongzhi's son. His wife was very jealous. , taking the dagger will ruin Fang's face."

"Then what happened afterwards?" Sandong's heart trembled when he heard it, and he asked quickly, but was glared at by He Huai'an.

"I heard from the servants in the mansion that Mrs. Fang knelt down and begged for mercy, crying until her heart broke, and swore that she had no idea about that Tongzhi's son, and never thought about being an eighth concubine. There were two other concubines at home. The child and mother-in-law, she just wanted to take care of her family and begged the wife to let her go. Later, the wife didn't use a dagger, but asked her mother-in-law to slap Fang several times, and asked Fang to bark like a dog in the mansion After climbing around, she was let go, and the Fang family left Shaoxing Mansion and went to Hangzhou Mansion soon."

After finishing speaking, Chen Ming also sighed unceasingly. It is not easy for a woman to lead a whole family to make a living.Ban Xia is fine, San Dong's eyes are already red, they sounded like they were already feeling very difficult, and the person involved didn't know how they got here.

"What's the name of that colleague?" He Huai'an asked, his heart was really touched, he didn't expect that the person who contradicted him in front of him just now had such an experience.

"It's called Chu Renliang."

"Well. Tell me what you heard. Isn't it difficult to transfer ten people in the middle?" Chen Liu is the person in charge of the news under his command. Such a big battle this time is still very rare. .

"My lord, I don't know if I don't ask. This Fang's experience is too rich. I didn't have enough manpower at the time. No, now we are only investigating Shaoxing Mansion. Where did she come to Shaoxing Mansion? Where is she?" Where are the people, there is no definite news yet."

"Then tell me what you know so far."

Chen Ming flipped through the pamphlet again.

"Fang lived in Shaoxing Mansion with her two children and her mother-in-law for less than a year. Life was very difficult. The children had to grow up, and the mother-in-law was also sick. According to the neighbors at the time, the children often cried because of hunger. Later, After they left Shaoxing Mansion, they went to Hangzhou Mansion. At the beginning, Fang also found a job of washing clothes and doing temporary work for others. It is said that he also helped the rice store carry rice bags and do coolies. The two children went to some restaurants and teahouses on the street to resell jujubes, melon seeds and other snacks. Later, the daughter of the governor of Hangzhou was kidnapped by the gangsters, and happened to be rescued by the Fang family. About the story of the mermaid, Mrs. Tong San invited Mrs. Fang to tell the story to the young lady at home. After that, there were some noble ladies from rich and powerful families, and Miss Qianjin one after another, invited Mrs. Fang to the mansion to tell the story."

The complexions of the other people improved slightly, and it seemed that there was a turning point.But Chen Ming's voice changed, "It was fine, but I don't know why some things happened in these families one after another, and the impact was very bad. For example, the young lady of the Zhang family eloped with someone, and the wife of the Li family actually got married with the nursing home." Fornication, the old lady of the Feng family lived well, and died for no reason just after her 50th birthday. There was also a man named Lin, whose family beat and killed a servant, and was sued by the government, which was also very unfavorable. Therefore, everyone thinks that Fang Shi has brought them bad luck, that they are a disaster star, and no one dares to invite Fang Shi to visit again."

"How can there be such a coincidence? Cook Fang is really wronged." Sandong sighed sympathetically.

"Did she leave Hangzhou Mansion again?" He Huai'an seemed to know Fang Xiuyi's experience more.

"They seem to have stayed in Hangzhou Mansion for more than a year. After such a reputation spread, Fang did leave with his family very quickly. However, according to our investigation, there was another incident before leaving .”

"What's the matter, tell me quickly! I'm so anxious!" San Dong expressed the feelings of several people.

"Didn't the Fang family have a son and a daughter..." Chen Ming didn't care about his thirst, seeing the expression on the adults, he had no choice but to continue talking.

"Wait, doesn't Fang have two sons? Why are they one son and one daughter?" He Huai'an asked.

"No, I found out that Mrs. Fang is a pair of sons and daughters. It's just that Mrs. Fang has been dressing her daughter in men's clothes since then, so you think it's a boy. Actually..." Chen Ming was about to ask why he wore men's clothes.

"That's not the case. I've checked Fang's household registration. It does say that there are two sons, one named He Siyuan and the other named He Feiyu." Ban Xia said with certainty.

"What I found out is indeed the case. Fang's son is named Zhuangzhuang, and her daughter is named Niuniu. Many people know this, and they all hear Fang's call like this." How could Chen Ming make people doubt his ability to spy.

He Huai'an thought about the two children, their skin color was darker and their skin was rougher. Except for those sparkling eyes, it seemed that they were girls, and they even wore similar clothes. Besides, that Fei Yu was not as good as a daughter's family at all. style of pie.

"By the way, my lord, didn't you say that Fang's household registration is in Hangzhou Mansion? Did something happen in Hangzhou Mansion?" Ban Xia guessed.

"My lord, what Ban Xia said, I remembered. When Mrs. Fang was in Hangzhou, everyone said that she had two sons. I accidentally forgot it just now, but I remembered it in my notebook." Chen Ming Hurry up and flip through your brochure. "Speaking of this, it may be related to what happened to them in Hangzhou Mansion."

"Hurry up and talk!" Sandong couldn't bear it anymore, this man's words always whetted the appetite.

"My lord, can you let me drink saliva? You see, I rushed back all night, and I haven't rested yet. My lips are cracked."

He Huai'an signaled Ban Xia to pour tea for Chen Liu.

Chen Ming took a few sips of water, and then said:
"When I was in Hangzhou, there lived a butcher next to Mrs. Fang. This butcher was very lecherous. Many people around him were harassed by him, but they dared not speak up. One day, Mrs. Fang was not at home, and her mother-in-law was sick and lying in the house. Here, the butcher actually took a fancy to Fang's daughter and wanted to do something wrong."

"Is there any reason for this?" Even Ban Xia couldn't help it. "Such a small child!"

With a "click", He Huai'an crushed a cup. It was the sparkling eyes he thought of just now, who had experienced such an unbearable thing.

"My lord!" Chen Ming breathed a sigh of relief seeing that He Huai'an's hand was fine.

"I'm fine, you continue talking."

"However, although Fang's daughter and son were young, they really resisted desperately. According to neighbors, the daughter almost bit off the butcher's ear and scratched the butcher's neck. The son took an iron bar , almost broke the butcher's calf, and then let the butcher let go. After Fang came back and found out, he heard that he immediately took a kitchen knife and went to the butcher's house, saying that he wanted to kill the fish and kill everyone. When the butcher saw that Fang was dying, he was too frightened to fight back. Fang didn't hurt anyone. He probably still had some sense, but he just smashed up the butcher's house. A few days later , Fang took his family and left Hangzhou Mansion, and then arrived at Yingtian Mansion."

"Why did Chef Fang encounter all the evil deeds in the world? What a pitiful person!" San Dong burst into tears, even though he was a handsome man.

He Huai'an remembered Fang Xiuyi's stubborn back when he left just now, without hesitation or nostalgia.

"Such a person should have died a long time ago, why let him live?" Sandong was even more distressed by Fang Xiuyi, who usually thought that Cook Fang was really good.

"Speaking of this, my lord, I still want to ask your lord for forgiveness." Chen Ming knelt down.

"Get up and talk, let's talk." He Huai'an can probably guess.

"After we heard about this incident, we secretly broke the butcher's legs." Chen Ming continued, "However, the butcher has no children, and his wife ran away with him."

In this matter, He Huai'an still has the right to speak. Although Ban Xia and San Dong were very happy, they did not dare to make arbitrary judgments, and they all looked at He Huai'an together.

"Since this is the case, why do you keep the rest?" He Huai'an said coolly, as if to say, what are we going to eat today.

"Yes, I know what to do?" Although the adult looked like a fairy, it was really hard to say sometimes.

"What happened to them after they left Hangzhou Mansion?" He Huai'an asked.

"After leaving Hangzhou Mansion, they went to Yingtian Mansion. There was nothing particularly difficult on the whole, but Fang's mother-in-law became seriously ill, and the expenses were high. Fang returned to her old business, and went to tell stories in a wealthy family. Went to several restaurants to sell recipes. We have never seen those dishes. They have lived in Yingtian Mansion for more than a year, and Fang has only sold five or six dishes in total. It is very puzzling, because Selling vegetables earns more. I don’t know why she doesn’t sell more dishes. Moreover, it takes a long time for each dish to have the next dish. That is, it started in Yingtian Mansion. Everyone said that Fang’s side was two sons. .”

"Sounds good, so why did they come to the capital?" Sandong asked again.

"Well, it seems that the Fang family is really unlucky. What happened in the Hangzhou mansion happened again in the Yingtian mansion. The families and restaurants have problems one after another. The mother-in-law also passed away at the beginning of the year. In addition, it seems that the Hangzhou mansion Some people happened to see the Fang family, so the rumors spread naturally, and the Fang family could not gain a foothold in Yingtian Mansion, so they went to the capital alone with their two children. Then, it was what they knew before." Chen Ming After finishing speaking in one breath, he drank several glasses of water, "Your Excellency will understand why I must come back and report to you in person. This is beyond words. Moreover, we have only traced to Shaoxing so far. The mansion, where it was before, is still under investigation, they should have come to Shaoxing mansion from other places."

There was a brief silence.Several people have their own thoughts.

　Later in the writing, I found that there was an error in the title of the official position in this chapter, and the original "Fu Yin" was changed to "Tong Zhi", a five-rank civil official and foreign official.
