Chapter 1336 - Murder for Money (3)
During the period when Mr. Fu was recuperating from his illness, Fu Ran went out to visit her former friends, and of course some students came to visit her. So in the past half a month, the family has been quite lively.
This morning, a matchmaker came to the door.
Xu was a little surprised, except for Fu Jingze, there was no one in her family who was of the right age to marry. However, Fu Jingze is now a two-rank jinshi and is about to become an official, and ordinary people don't look down on him.
Although he guessed that the matchmaker was here to say goodbye to Fu Jingze, his expression was still a little subtle when he knew who the matchmaker was for.
She didn't have the right to make a decision on this matter, so Xu came over to ask Fu Ran what she meant: "Auntie, Mrs. Ning is here to say goodbye to the third brother, and she is talking about the girl of the single family?" ”
"Single, which one?
Xu explained: "My aunt has been in the capital and doesn't know, the single family has only risen in the past few years. They are doing a lot of business now, and even the Lei family has been crushed. ”
Fu Ran smiled and said, "It's just that Pingzhou has changed so much in a few years. ”
The Lei family used to be the richest man in Pingzhou because of the Qi family's strength, but now the Qi family is keeping filial piety and temporarily quiet. The Lei family's power is not as strong as before, but it is common for there to be ups and downs in this world.
Xu said respectfully: "The matchmaker said that if the aunt agrees to this family affair, the single family is willing to give the girl a dowry of sixty-four dowries, and another fifty thousand taels of silver at the bottom of the box." ”
The Fu family is now short of money, and this condition can be said to be right in their weakness.
Fu Ran sneered and said, "You dare to hit me with money, thinking that a few stinky money will be great, and coax her out for me." ”
This result was also expected by the Xu family, Fu Ran treated Fu Jingze as a parent, how could he let him marry a merchant girl: "I'll send her away." ”
The single family's hand was too big, and in less than a day, the news spread throughout Pingzhou. Some people say that Fu Ran is stupid, and he doesn't want the money sent to the door; Some people also say that Fu Ran faked Qinggao, and in order to gain a good reputation, he turned away Wanguan's family wealth and suffered Fu Jingze.
Others are just that, after Fu Laogen learned the news, he was worried and hated to agree to this bedroom for Fu Ran. For this reason, he also went to Fu's house with the Chen family to find Fu Jingze, but unfortunately Fu Jingze didn't want to see them at all.
Fu Jingze was so annoyed that Fu Laogen and the Chen family went over to Fu Ran and asked, "Mother, when will we go back to the capital?" ”
"Want to go back to the capital?"
Fu Jingze snorted and said, "I want to return to the capital earlier, it's a mess here that is boring." Mother, you must also miss Brother Fu, right? ”
At the mention of Brother Fu, Fu Ran couldn't help but show a smile on his face: "The ship has been set, and we will return to Beijing the day after tomorrow." ”
Life in the capital is so clean, it's not like there are a lot of bad things here.
Fu Jingze secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
Fu Ran said with a smile: "Your biological father and mother should come to you for the sake of the Shan family, they must want you to marry the girl of the Shan family." Aze, I haven't asked you about this yet, what do you think? ”
Fu Jingze shook his head and said, "Mother, my son listens to you." Since you reject the single family, you must think that the girl from the single family is not suitable for me. ”
Fu Ran snorted and said, "It's really inappropriate." I asked your sister-in-law, the girl from the single family is eighteen years old this year, because she grew up in the market since she was a child, and her personality is very spicy. And this girl's aesthetic is different from ordinary people, she likes gold jewelry very much, and she always looks jeweled every time she goes out. ”
It's not that the single girl is bad, but it's not suitable for Fu Jingze. Fu Jingze will take a career in the future, and marrying such a daughter-in-law will make people laugh. Of course, it is impossible for Fu Ran to agree to this family business. If it weren't for Fu Laogen and his wife coming over, she wouldn't have mentioned this matter to Fu Jingze.
Fu Jingze shuddered and said, "Mother, I don't want to marry such a person. ”
Fu Ran nodded and said: "I will marry you a well-informed girl, but marriage is about the right family, and the girl in my picture will definitely not have so many dowries." ”
Fu Jingze hurriedly said: "It's good to be right, you don't need so much dowry." ”
The woman's dowry is too much, and she will have to be ridiculed as eating soft rice at that time. His family is not so poor that he has no money to live, so why bother with such a reputation.
In the evening of that day, a man came to the door and said that he wanted to see Fu Ran.
The porter told Fu Ran about this, and he said: "Auntie, the other party said that he was from the capital, and he had something important to tell Mr. ”
Shen'er frowned and said, "Sir, let me go and see who the other party is?" ”
"There you go!"
When Shen'er saw Lao Jiu, he asked with a puzzled expression: "Whose servant are you?" How I've never seen one. ”
Lao Jiu handed a bell to Shen'er.
Seeing that this bell pendant's face changed greatly, how could this bell come into the hands of this person if it was Fu Ge'er's.
Lao Jiu knew that he had misunderstood when he saw her face, and hurriedly explained: "This bell belongs to my little master..."
Shen'er looked at him and asked, "Are you a subordinate of the adult?" Why haven't I seen you? ”
Lao Jiu said: "I've been out on an errand and rarely go home, it's normal that you haven't seen me." Aunt Shen'er, I hope you can hold your back, I have something extremely important to tell you. ”
Seeing that the other party's eyes were sincere, Shen'er nodded and let the porter go out with a mother-in-law: "Can you tell your identity now?" ”
After a quarter of an hour, Lao Jiu left the Fu family, he did everything that should be done, and Fu Ran solved the rest by himself.
Fu Ran saw Shen'er enter the house and asked, "Who is the person who came, and what did he say to you?" ”
Shen'er told her the identity of Lao Jiu: "The girl's right eyelid has been jumping since she heard you say that you want to go back to Pingzhou, and she was worried that something would happen to you, so she begged her uncle to send someone to Pingzhou." ”
Fu Ran smiled and said, "This kid is just blindly worried, what can happen to me?" He also asked Jing Ene to send someone. ”
Shen'er took a deep breath and said, "Sir, Lao Jiu said that he saw Luo's meeting Aunt Yin early this morning, and gave Aunt Yin a small bag of things. ”
This Aunt Yin is the son of the Fu family, and because the food she cooked was very suitable for Mrs. Fu's taste, she was transferred to the small kitchen. Old Lady Fu was used to eating the food she cooked, and brought her with her when she moved here.
Fu Ran's face changed suddenly: "What is Luo's looking for her?" ”
Shen'er shook his head and said, "Because I was far away at the time, Lao Jiu didn't hear what they said, but it was definitely not a good thing." ”
It's definitely not a good thing to get involved with Rock's. Fu Ran sneered and said, "That bag of things is probably poison, Luo's is trying to let Aunt Yin poison me." ”
This is really possible, but Shen'er can't understand: "Why did Aunt Yin listen to her?" ”
Fu Ran said: "Aunt Yin should have a handle in her hands, and she obeyed as soon as she threatened her." ”
"Sir, what's the benefit of her killing you?"
Fu Ran chuckled and said: "I asked you to push her out that day, she was beaten by those people and must have hated me to death, and if I was poisoned, I could avenge the day." The most important thing is that if I die, then the property in my name will fall into her hands. ”
Revenge is incidental to those who seek wealth.
Shen'er shook her head and said, "Sir, you have Young Master Jingze, even if you have an accident, those properties will not be her turn." ”
Fu Ran shook his head and said, "No, if there is no one to help him, the property in my name will definitely fall into the hands of that poisonous woman." Ahem, this time it's thanks to Qingshu, otherwise I would have really died in her hands. ”
She didn't expect that Luo's would seek money and kill her, she was simply mad.
