Not afraid of the cold spring and returning early, the birds chirped happily to the early sun on the branches, waiting to build their nests with mud. Fu Ming, who was still drowsy, froze for a moment at the full house of Hongyan before realizing where he was.
Yili, he should go with his husband today to offer tea to the elders. Jin Yi, like him, has both parents, and now there are only his grandmother and uncle. My grandmother was alive, but my uncle was bedridden for many years.
The Jin family is even thinner than the Fu family. Although it bears the name of the Suiguo Gongfu, with the death of the Suiguogong and the withering of the descendants, the power has long been weak. Because of this, when the prince's faction made a move to stop Jin Yi, who had passed his filial period, and matched himself with Tara Lang, he was powerless to resist. Thinking of it this way, Fu Ming understands a little why Jin Yi treats him so coldly.
Husband is ruthless, Lang is unintentional, and it is difficult for them to have good results between them. When Fu Ming took a shower, he sighed slightly in his heart—this day is about to begin, and when the ice melts and the snow melts, I really don’t know what year, month, and day it will be.
After washing, Xiang Lan took the coat, which was the sober style that Fu Ming liked to wear when he was at home. Lu Fei looked at it, shook his head and said, "This one can't be done, the young master is newly married, you have to dress more beautifully, or else you will fall into the limelight."
Qianlan looked at Fu Ming, and Fu Ming also said, "Listen to Lu Fei, and change it."
Fu Mingshao wears bright-colored clothes, but his complexion is fair and his facial features are handsome. Even if he looks gorgeous, he doesn't look tacky. After Xilan and Lufei dressed him, they both smiled and said, "Young master looks good no matter what he wears. "
Fu Ming looked at himself in the standing mirror, Yuguanhuafu, and seemed to have thought of something. He couldn't help but groaned slightly, then turned around and asked, "Is someone here to send a message?"
Qianlan replied, "Up to this point, no one has been to this courtyard."
Fu Ming said, "Let's have breakfast first."
Lu Fei ordered the little girls waiting outside to bring porridge into the soup. She and Xiang Lan served Fu Ming's meal together. Judging from the porridge soup and the matching dishes, the Jin family did not treat Fu Ming badly in terms of diet. When he was in the Fu family, he was more delicate and rich.
While they were eating, someone sent a message from outside, saying that Young Master Ming was asked to stay after dinner, and that the master would come later.
After dinner, Fu Ming rinsed his mouth and sat down to drink tea slowly. After a cup of tea, Jin Yi really came. Different from Fu Ming, who is bright and bright, Jin Yi is wearing a dark blue coat, and the two stand together, which is quite inconsistent. But Jin Yi didn't plan to change his own clothes or let Fu Ming change his clothes, he just said lightly: "Come along with me to greet the old lady." After that, he walked away first.
Fu Ming was helpless and had to keep up. The two were not side by side, one behind the other, separated by two or three steps, and came to the old lady's room without saying a word to each other.
Yesterday's wedding was busy, and Fu Ming didn't have time to take a good look at the government's mansion. He just walked all the way. Jin Yi's footsteps were fast. , all kinds of rare antiques, famous calligraphy and paintings, are all rare treasures, Fang Zhi Jin's family is different now, but it is still not the home of second- and third-rate officials like the Fu family, but a real hairpin Wealthy family.
Not daring to look around, Fu Ming and Jin Yi greeted the old lady with Jin Yi after a quick look. He knelt down and waited for the maid to bring the tea. He served tea with both hands and respected the old man.
The old lady took the tea, took a sip, and put it back on the tea tray, with an indifferent tone: "Get up and sit."
A chair was temporarily moved and placed beside Jin Yi, and Fu Ming sat down.
At this time, the girl and boy who had been sitting on the kang next to the old lady also got up at the same time and walked over to him.
The girl is the daughter of Jin Yi's uncle, named Ren Lan, wearing a yellow and blue skirt, with a fresh and charming look, her eyebrows are beginning to open, and she has already shown a bit of beauty potential. She salutes Jin Yi and Fu Ming, saying that Jin thinks "eldest brother". ", calling Fu Ming "Brother Ming".
Lu Fei hurriedly held the greeting gift, and Fu Ming took it with both hands. It was a set of green jade jewelry. He said to Ren Lan, "These gifts are not comparable to the ones that my sister wears on weekdays. Give it to my sister to play with."
Ren Lan took it in person and said with a slight smile, "Brother Ming is very kind, thank you for your generous gift." Then she handed it over to her maid Cai Rui.
The boy was born by Jin Yi and his ex-wife. Jin's ex-wife Zhou Shi died of illness shortly after giving birth to his son. Jin thought that the three-year mourning of his wife was longer than the ritual system, which was rare in the world and was quite praised by outsiders. Except for Wang Ningxue, who had been raised by the old lady as her concubine in his room since childhood, and a dowry girl named Xinyue who was entrusted to him by the Zhou family before her death, Jin Yi had never had anyone by her side over the years. Not to mention the people outside, it was these two people. I heard that Jin Yi hadn't been really close in the past three years, which shows the deep relationship between him and his wife.
Jin Yi's eldest son, Jin Zhaoyan, is less than four years old this year. He is adorned with pink and jade, and he is not as well-mannered as Renlan. "Daddy, Daddy, Yan'er ate two bowls of minced pork this morning!"
Jin Yi gently pushed him away, like a reprimand but not in a serious tone: "How old are you, you still don't understand the rules."
Zhao Yan was not afraid, but still let go, stood up straight, bowed to Jin Yi, and respectfully called, "Father." He looked at Fu Ming again, frowning slightly, not knowing what to call him, so he was a little distressed .
"In the future, Yan'er will call Ming brother uncle." The old lady said.
In terms of affection and reason, it seems inappropriate to call him like this. Fu Ming is now Jin Yilang's son-in-law, and he is called "Uncle", but it is separated by a layer. But the old lady spoke up, and no one obeyed. Zhaoyan saluted Fu Ming and said, "Uncle Ming."
Fu Ming responded, and Lu Fei also prepared gifts for him. These are some of the toys that are very popular among children these days. They are more delicate than those sold in the street market. The house and boat, a small set of silver and gold swords, spears, swords and halberds, etc. Zhao Yan saw it and liked it very much. After thanking him, he hurriedly asked his maid Liu Xing to take over the box of toys, and the two went to the side to play.
Seeing Fu Ming's intentions, the old lady seemed to remember that she should also give Fu Ming a tea toast, so she winked at Qingbao, the maid standing behind her. box out.
The old lady said to Fu Ming, "This is an ancient inkstone, carved by a scholar surnamed Xu in the previous dynasty. I don't understand it very well, but it has some background. No one in my family makes it, and it has been stored in the cabinet for many years. Listen. Saying that you are a poet and can draw, it would not be a waste if you want to send this thing to you." The Jin family started out with martial arts, and they educate their children that martial arts are better than literature, so these literati utensils are often neglected at home.
Fu Ming's heart moved slightly, he stepped forward, bowed slightly, took it with his own hands, and said, "Thank you old lady for loving the gift."
"Okay. I'm tired too, you all leave." The old lady waved her hand, and everyone left one by one.
After leaving the old lady's courtyard, Ren Lan nodded and greeted her two brothers and Zhaoyan, and went into her room.
Zhaoyan tugged at the corner of Jin Yi's clothes and asked, "Dad, will you come to teach me a book today?"
Jin Yi nodded and said, "I'll go in the evening. You'll have a good meal in the future, and I'll tell you more."
Zhao Yan smiled and said, "Okay, okay, Yan'er must eat well, Daddy wants to accompany Yan'er more." After speaking, he turned to look at Fu Ming and asked, "Can Uncle Ming teach books?"
"What book?" Fu Ming asked.
"Daddy told me the stories of the ancients. There are immortals, filial sons, loyal ministers, and generals who killed the enemy. But let Longcheng fly there, and don't teach Huma to go over the Yin Mountain! Does Uncle Ming know about this?"
Fu Ming smiled, "I know some."
"When Dad can't come out, can Uncle Ming come to teach Yan'er?"
Fu Ming looked at Jin Yi, Jin Yi did not express his position, as if he wanted to decide, Fu Ming smiled and returned to Zhaoyan: "Yes, Uncle Ming has time to teach Yan'er a book."
Zhao Yan clapped his hands and laughed, "That Yan'er goes to see Uncle Ming every afternoon after a long break?"
Fu Ming nodded and said half-jokingly, "I'll be waiting for you at any time."
"Okay, it's time for you to go to the morning class." Jin Yi said and looked at the nurse, who hurriedly stepped forward and grabbed Zhaoyan's hand and led him away.
Zhao Yan still turned his head and called, "Daddy, Uncle Ming, don't forget what you said!"
Fu Ming smiled and watched Zhaoyan disappear at the corner of the corridor. Footsteps sounded behind him, but he didn't look back. When he turned around, Jin Yi had already walked away.
They didn't even say hello, they were actually two children, Birenlan and Zhaoyan, who didn't know how to behave. In fact, where would you be ignorant of etiquette? But, don't care, or just ignore it on purpose.
Fu Ming shook his head and led Lu Fei back to his Fangmanting. The name of the hospital was chosen temporarily by himself. This morning, he saw that there was a stone inscribed in the courtyard, but the top was empty. After asking the servants, he realized that many courtyards in the mansion were rebuilt later. Soon after the renovation, the mansion suffered a series of changes, so it has been vacant, and no one asked to take it. name thing. When Fu Ming heard this, he thought that since it was a yard for himself, it would be okay to give it a name for the time being. He glanced out from the window. Although it was early spring, the flowers and trees had not yet fully recovered. It is a shade of green, with bright flowers and willows, hence the name "Fang Man Ting".
The three talents stepped into the Fangman Court, and a little girl greeted them and said, "Ming Gongzi, Concubine Wang and Miss New Moon are here to greet you."
