MTL - I’m the Hero, His Brother, Wear It Quickly-Chapter 1 Hou Fu's eldest son【07】
After Yuan Jia and Fang Yan's marriage was set, the wedding date was also set soon.
Although Father Luo regretted that his daughter was not marrying the prince of the Hou Mansion, the Luo family was considered to be married to the Weining Hou Mansion.
The Marquis of Weining is different from those nobles who have no real power and vacant titles. The Marquis of Weining has been widely used by the emperor.
The Luo family seems to have the blessing of Mr. Luo and has a wide range of contacts, but the network is the icing on the cake. When Father Luo himself has the ability, those who have friendship with the Luo family are of course willing to help. But Father Luo doesn't have that ability, so naturally he can't use his connections. It's impossible for people not to promote their children and grandchildren to promote Father Luo, right?
Yuan Jia is different. He has his own abilities, but needs contacts to open up the way to join the Qingliu civil service system.
It is easy to abandon martial arts and follow literature, but it is not easy to follow literature. The Hou Weining only saw that before Yuanjia, there were civil servants from noble backgrounds who were ostracized by the civil service group, so when he was considering his son's marriage, he wanted to be with a well-connected Qingliu family. marriage.
The age difference between Yuan Jia and Fu Yuanze is not big, and they both decided to get married, so the marriage between the two is a matter of front and rear. Yuan Jia will get married this year, and Fu Yuanze will be married next year.
When Weining Hou's mansion gave the betrothal gift, it was naturally separated.
Fang Yan and Luo Qing received the betrothal gifts one after the other.
When Weining Hou's mansion brought Fang Yan a betrothal gift, Luo Qing saw the rich and sincere betrothal gift, but she was not very jealous, because the betrothal gift she received in her previous life was so generous.
On the other hand, when Fang Yan received some small gifts from Fu Yuanjia in private, Luo Qing was fiercely jealous, and she was sour, because in her previous life, until she married into the Hou Mansion, Fu Yuanjia didn't give her anything before getting married. small gift.
When Luo Qing was jealous because of the small gift Yuan Jia gave to her fiancée, when Wei Ninghou Mansion brought her the dowry gift, Luo Qing was overwhelmed by jealousy.
Because compared with Fang Yan's generous betrothal gift, the betrothal gift that Hou Mansion gave her was pitifully shabby, almost only one or two percent of Fang Yan's!
The contrast gap was too tragic, and Luo Qing was so angry that she cried.
Seeing Luo Qing's aggrieved appearance, Mrs. Luo said angrily: "You still have the face to cry? Did you only know today how big the gap is? Look at your sister's dowry when she got married, only 10% of yours. You are married to a concubine of the Hou family, do you still want a betrothal gift like that of the prince of the Hou family?"
Luo Qing felt bitter in her heart. Although she knew that there must be a gap between the concubines and concubines, the comparison was too tragic.
Compared with other families, the betrothal gifts of Weining Hou’s mansion, even for the concubine’s sons, are quite generous, but the betrothal gifts were sent to Fang Yan with the betrothal gifts given to Fang Yan by the prince of the Hou mansion. This comparison is particularly shabby. Luo Qing's face was also stepped into the mud by Fang Yan.
No matter how Luo Qing comforted herself, she and Fu Yuanze belonged to the entire Weining Hou Mansion in the future, and Fang Yan would have to make a living under her hands in the future, Luo Qing was still unhappy.
Luo Qing pulled her mother's sleeve and cried, "Mother, cousin, she must be so proud of herself now that she is an orphan who is dependent on others, and she has actually suppressed my serious Miss Luo family!"
Mrs. Luo's face sank. She values face as much as Luo Qing. When she married into the Luo family, she would not have a good relationship with Fang Yan's mother. It was also because Fang Yan's mother gave her face back then, which made her ashamed. Remember revenge.
<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<
Since Fang Yan got married with Fu Yuanjia, the prince of Weining Houfu, the wind direction of the Luo family has changed a bit.
The servants of the Luo family have always favored the high and the low, although Fang Yan had given a lot of money to the Luo family with great fanfare when she came to the Luo family, which made it impossible to say that she was a poor relative who beat the autumn wind, and that her grandfather, Mr. Luo, loved her. But the back house of Luo's family is in the hands of Mrs. Luo. After all, she can't be compared with Luo Qing, the daughter of Mrs. Luo, and she has to let Luo Qing go everywhere.
As soon as she gave in, in the eyes of the Luo family's servants, she was easy to bully, and she and Luo Qing were naturally two faces.
Now Fang Yan and Luo Qing are engaged at the same time, one is married to the prince of the Hou family, and the other is married to the son-in-law of the Hou family. Not to mention the difference in status and status, just by looking at the two dowry gifts sent to the Luo family, it is clear which one is better. Married badly.
The second-class maids of the Luo family around Fang Yan were all courteous to her, wanting to follow her to the Hou residence.
However, Fang Yan had already thought about it for a long time, and only planned to take the personal maid she brought from the Fang family away, and the maid of the Luo family took it to the Hou residence. In the future, it may be whether she will listen to her or Luo Qing!
Recently, because of the gap between the dowry gifts, the other side Yan slapped Luo Qing a lot, and she sneered when she saw her.
Fang Yan also began to think about her dowry.
She had to hide a part of the Fang family's wealth that she couldn't use. She originally planned to find a way to escape from the Luo family in the future, and the hidden wealth after leaving was her way back.
Now, because of Luo Qing's coquettish manipulation, she and the prince of Weining Hou's mansion have decided to get married. This marriage is undoubtedly excellent, but the Hou's mansion is deep, and there is another cousin Luo Qing who is not in harmony with her. The future is uncertain.
Therefore, Fang Yan will not use the back way she left behind, she always has to consider the worst situation.
All she could use was the two family fortunes she had. She originally planned to give one to Mrs. Luo, but now she doesn't need it anymore. With the marriage contract of Weining Houfu in her hands, Mrs. Luo didn't dare to touch her any more.
Therefore, Fang Yan intends to take the remaining two family fortunes as dowry to the Weining Hou Mansion. She does not expect Mrs. Luo to prepare her any dowry. It would be embarrassing.
The wedding is approaching. Although Mrs. Luo really wanted to make Fang Yan stumped and embarrassed by her marriage, she knew better that if Fang Yanming was embarrassed, her aunt would only be embarrassed. Work hard.
When Fang Yan was embroidering her wedding dress, a maid suddenly came to invite her: "Miss Biao, the old lady invites you to come over!"
Fang Yan was startled, and quickly put down the things in her hand and followed the maid.
The grandfather of the Luo family is Fang Yan's grandfather, the grandfather Luo, the Luo family's Dinghaishenzhen.
Although Mr. Luo dotes on Fang Yan very much, he does not see her very often, because she looks really similar to his mother. When Mr. Luo sees her, he can't help but think of his daughter who died young, and he is deeply saddened.
Now that Fang Yan was about to get married, Mr. Luo took the initiative to see her.
<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<
"Yan'er greets grandfather!"
Grandpa Luo looked at his granddaughter who was already slim and looked a little dazed. He seemed to have seen twenty years ago when his daughter was not married, and the daughter who had not left the cabinet at that time was so young and full of vitality.
After a while, Mr. Luo came back to his senses, picked up a small box and handed it to Fang Yan, sighing: "The Hou family is the highest, grandfather is old, and he won't be able to support you for a long time, so the contents here will be handed to you. But Yan'er, remember, this thing can't be easily known, otherwise..."
Fang Yan didn't dare to open it in front of her grandfather, but after listening to his instructions, she nodded seriously.
Mr. Luo waved his hand: "Go!"
Fang Yan returned to her yard, closed the door and opened the small box by herself, and found that there was a stack of silver bills on the top.
Turning to the bottom of the bank note, there were more than a dozen letters. The letters were not sealed. Fang Yan opened it and found that they were all written by his grandfather to his old friends, asking them to help take care of his granddaughter Fang Yan.
Fang Yan couldn't help her eyes turning red, tears welling in her eyes.
My grandfather was afraid that he would be gone and no one would take care of her, leaving her alone in the Hou Mansion!
Fang Yan is a smart girl, but she has been staying in the back house, and her vision is limited, so she can't think of something deeper when she guesses that Mr. Luo's intentions.
In fact, Mr. Luo knew for a long time that Weining Hou's mansion chose his granddaughter and granddaughter because of his connections. He was worried that after his death, Fang Yan would not be able to borrow his connections, so he deliberately left a dozen letters. In the future, these connections would be the foundation of Fang Yan's foothold in the Hou Mansion.
Fang Yan was fascinated by the contents of the small box when her maid's anxious voice came from outside the door: "Second Miss! My lady is resting, please don't disturb..."
Luo Qing's voice was a little dissatisfied: "Get out of the way!"
Fang Yan hurriedly put the things in the small box, then hid the small box, and turned out a book that her grandfather had given her before, pretending that she was reading a book.
Luo Qing broke in, and when she saw Fang Yan, she said with a half-smile, "Yo, didn't my cousin take a break? Didn't your maid say you have taken a break?"
Fang Yan said lightly, "If you can't sleep, just get up and read a book."
Luo Qing's eyes fell on her slightly red eyes, "Cousin, what's wrong? Your eyes are so red?"
Fang Yan didn't hide the fact that she was crying, and said softly, "I just met my grandfather, thinking that I will get married soon, and I will have less time to serve in front of my grandfather in the future, and I feel uncomfortable."
When Luo Qing heard this, she found it harsh. They were all girls who were about to get married. She was still the granddaughter of her grandfather. As a result, her grandfather only summoned her granddaughter, and where did she put her granddaughter?
Luo Qing said angrily: "Grandfather has his grandson and granddaughter by his side, you don't need to worry about your granddaughter!" She bit the word "foreign" very hard.
Fang Yan didn't think there was anything. Her grandfather loved her, so what was the point? The only thing she cared about most in the Luo family was her grandfather.
Seeing that Fang Yan was indifferent to her words, Luo Qing felt bored, her eyes fell on the book in front of Fang Yan, and she asked, "Grandfather told you to go, but what did he give you?"
Fang Yan followed her gaze to the book in front of her, and said lightly, "Just tell me a few words."
Luo Qing didn't ask anything from Fang Yan. Although she still didn't believe that her grandfather didn't give Fang Yan anything, she had to give up if she couldn't ask.
It didn't take long for Fang Yan to move out of Luo's house and into the Fang's house.
The Fang family is the real home where Fang Yan grew up. It was just that when her parents died unexpectedly when she was twelve years old, she was the only master left in the entire Fang family. Mr. Luo loved her so much that he took her to the Luo family.
But Fang Yan is the daughter of the Fang family after all, and she should marry from the Fang family, so she moved back to the Fang family temporarily.
Returning to this place full of memories of herself and her parents, Fang Yan stayed up all night that night.
