Fu Ming got Jin to signal, and at Zhaoyan's request, he rearranged the original small yard for him, partly in accordance with Zhaoyan's own wishes, partly in accordance with Fu Ming's aesthetics, and both of them were quite satisfied with the final result. .
When Jin Yi went to lecture to Zhaoyan, he first checked the results. He also admired this warm house full of childishness but not clutter, so he asked Bai Lu to pick out a few things to send to Fangmanting. The wife also rewarded some things.
Aunt Wang was moved when she heard the wind, and she also revealed her identity as the person in charge, backed up a thank-you gift and delivered it to the door in person, but her attitude was the same as before. Fu Ming smiled and accepted the gift, but he was not polite, and sent the person away lukewarmly.
It was late spring and early summer, and the weather was warm. Fu Ming was holding a fan stove and prepared to boil water to cook a seasonal tea. On the flower stand, a few peony were inserted into the bright and clean white porcelain vase. The vase was plain and flowery. For a long time, Fu Ming's eyes extended from his small courtyard, and he seemed to see the huge world covered by the high walls.
Fu Ming asked Lu Fei to pass a message to Bai Lu: If you have time recently, I hope you can have a chat with Fang Man Ting.
It wasn't that Fu Ming didn't understand the rules and he had to visit someone in person to meet someone, but he felt that there might be people like Auntie Wang or Xinyue in other places, and it would be a hindrance to go by himself. Besides, with Zhaoyan coming often, Jin Yi can choose an early day to go home, and just have a few words with himself when he comes to pick up his son.
But Jin Yi chose to take a rest day and came to Fangmanting before noon.
Fu Ming didn't foresee it. He was in the yard with the maids waiting for flowers and grass. His sleeves were rolled up and his hands were full of mud. "
The hand stretched straight to Jin Yi.
Fu Ming was surprised and embarrassed. Jin Yi's expression remained unchanged, and he handed him the flower hoe. Fu Ming kept calm and calmly and calmly loosened the soil with the flower hoe, and even sprinkled the plants with water before letting him. Qianlan tidyed herself up and went back to the house to see Jin Yi, who was invited by Lu Fei and was drinking tea.
Fu Ming didn't have time to make any moves or words, so Jin Toi asked bluntly, "Why are you looking for me?"
Fu Ming had to do a simple salute, sat down beside him, and replied, "You saw it just now, sir, I have nothing to do in this Fuzhong town, and now that the weather is getting warmer, I want to go out for a walk."
The people of this dynasty were open-minded, and women could also go out. After marrying someone, if the husband's family wanted to, they could still occasionally go out to see the scenery and go to the market. As a man, Fu Ming should not be detained at home. But he didn't want to go out without permission, so as not to make a fool of himself.
Jin Yi replied to him: "I can send someone to ask about this later." The implication is, don't waste my precious time.
"Yes." Fu Ming replied, and said again, "If it is possible, I hope you can promise me that I can go out three times a month."
Three times, slightly more, but Jin Yi nodded immediately. Fu Ming felt a little happy in his heart, and thanked him with a smile.
"Is there anything else?"
This time, Fu Ming thought it over a bit before replying: "Although the five-year-old boy is in Fang primary school, he learns and reads, but recently I have found that Yan'er has some talent and is smarter than ordinary children, so I want to teach him to play occasionally. Read some books and write some words from time to time. You are the father of the child, and it is up to you to decide."
Jin Yi was quite surprised by this. After thinking for a while, he said, "For regular studies, a family teacher will be in charge of the family. If it is as you said, a formal study time will be arranged for Yan'er in the future. If he comes Here, you can teach him, but you can only teach orthodox knowledge, and those romantic words and phrases are not allowed."
"Merry Words?"
"I heard that Mr. Fu is good at singing in a low voice, and he is quite famous. Jin's house does not advocate such romantic affairs. Mr. Fu will go out in the future, please pay more attention. I don't care about the outside world, if these things get involved Jin Manor, it can't be good."
Fu Ming was speechless for a moment, he was silent for a moment, his lips curled slightly, but his eyes were slightly condensed, and his tone was slightly cold: "I understand."
"If there is nothing else, I will leave now." Jin Yi got up.
"I'm the one who bothered you today. I'll definitely pay more attention in the future. It's better to leave."
After Jin Yi left, Lu Fei, who was waiting on the side, sighed in her heart: Although the family can't be intimate and warm, anyway, don't be so indifferent and polite! When is this day going to end? Does the son want to be so wronged for the rest of his life
Although Jin Yi's words threw a stone in Fu Ming's heart, causing a few ripples, it soon calmed down again. The next day, he packed up and went out with a servant from Jin's house called Bai Hua. It is a bit shabby for the solemn master of the Guogong's mansion to go out with just such a follower, but even if Fu Ming's personal servant is not available, he does not want to spend a lot of time. Make do half is relaxed and happy to go to the lively place.
It has been a long time since I entered the market. The streets are bustling and bustling, but Fu Ming feels a little strange. This time, he didn't go to the Goulan Washe, nor did he go shopping for cultural relics or antiques or go to the book market, and even the crowded street and tea fights didn't stop him. He walked all the way through the streets and alleys for nearly an hour on foot.
Bai Hua looked at the brighter and brighter sun above his head, wiped the sweat on his forehead, and asked, "Master Ming, why don't you hire a car for you?"
Fu Mingdao: "No need, I want to walk outside more. If you feel tired, go to a tea stand and sit and drink a bowl of tea and wait for me."
Bai Hua hurriedly shook his head, "Where are you going? The little one will follow you."
"It's almost there." Fu Ming smiled and pointed to the corner ahead, "It's under the big tree."
Bai Hua followed his instructions and said in surprise, "The Salesian Bureau? What are you doing here?"
"Come and see old friends."
The original master of the Fu family, and now the husband of the Jin family, actually came to the Salesian Bureau to visit an old friend? Bai Hua was puzzled, "Is that the person in charge here?" That was also an official of Sesame Small, not even an official.
Fu Ming didn't answer this time, he just stepped forward, Bai Hua hurriedly followed.
The guard at the door obviously recognized Fu Ming. Seeing him coming, he hurriedly opened the door for him and greeted him with a smile: "Mr. Fu, I haven't seen you for a long time."
Fu Ming smiled back: "It's been a long time, how are you doing in the game?"
"It's all good, it was a cold spring a while ago, and a few frail children were sick, and they all got Doctor Fang to cure them with a few doses of medicine."
"Is Uncle Fang still here?"
"I left half a month ago. I said I've been waiting for you for a long time, so I won't wait any longer. I'm going to catch the late spring season in Jiangnan."
Fu Ming felt a little regretful when he heard the words, but this time he had more important matters, so he didn't talk too much, and went directly to see Sun Zangyong, the person in charge of the bureau.
When he left, Sun Zangyong was reconciling the accounts. When he saw Fu Ming coming, he hurriedly put down the account book and greeted him with a hearty smile, "Brother Ming! It's time to meet someone!"
"Uncle Sun, I'm sorry, I didn't come to visit after such a long time."
"I'm sorry, Uncle Sun knows that I'm overjoyed that you can come."
"I haven't been here for a long time. I don't know what the children are lacking, so I didn't propose to buy them without authorization. You keep these silver coins and see if you can add more to them." Fu Ming handed over a bag of money. bag.
Sun Zangyong didn't answer, and only asked, "You are in Jin's mansion now, do you have any money?"
Fu Ming smiled and said, "Jin Mansion has never treated me badly in terms of money bills. The monthly rate is more than when I was in Fu Mansion. So you can accept this little thought for the children."
Sun Zang took Fu Ming's purse with what he heard, looked at the embroidery on it, and said with a smile, "That girl from Xilan did it, you are willing to do such a delicate embroidery?"
"She knew that I was coming today, so I changed it on purpose. Didn't the little fairy in the bureau like it? Give it to her and let her try it out."
"Blessed is Xiao Xian'er! However, don't you go see the children in person today?"
Fu Ming shook his head with a slightly apologetic expression, "I'm going out from the Jin residence. I have to go shopping and I have to come back early. I'll come back next time I go out."
"Yes. Come back next time, I'll make tea for you."
"I haven't enjoyed the tea soup made by Uncle Sun for a long time, and I can't wait!"
"Brother Ming, you should think about it first, and you can come back sooner. The children miss you so much!"
Fu Ming nodded. Although he was reluctant, he had to leave for the time being.
It came and went quietly, unaware of the children who were learning and playing in the backyard.
Although Bai Hua was full of doubts, he didn't dare to ask more, but Fu Ming first asked him, "When you go back, don't tell others about my coming here."
Bai Hua nodded back.
On the way back, Fu Ming stepped up his pace. Although he was nostalgic for the bustling and lively scene around him, he did not linger. He only bought a few in a few specific stores, and almost spent all the monthly money he had accumulated. Let Bai Hua hire a car and drive back to the mansion with the sun in the west.
On this day, after dinner, the masters in several houses received a gift from Fangmanting.
What the old lady received was a round fan with exquisite workmanship. On the silk was painted a picture of Han Yi Nong Sun. This picture was painted by a famous painter today. It was the first time that a businessman embroidered a fan. The price is more expensive. Qingfeng replied to Lu Fei, the old lady liked it, so it was worth the money.
What Jin Yi received was also a fan, but it was a folding fan. There was no painting on it, but a line of words was written: "One Sword Frost and Cold Fourteen States". I bought the fan, and it has a bamboo bone paper surface, but each piece of bamboo bone is well-proportioned and smooth. Fu Ming liked it when he saw it, and declined the kindness of the store owner to help with the inscription.
After Jin Yi received the gift, he didn't reply. Later, I heard the news from Qianlan. After the summer, this fan is often used by the master. If he wants to come, it is also in line with his heart.
Zhaoyan received a Mobo Le, which was similar to the one on Fu Ming's shelf, but a little less weird and more charming and cute. Zhaoyan liked it and slept in his arms for a few nights.
Even Renlan received a gift from Lu Fei. It was a box of small pottery ornaments. They were all raccoon slaves, with different colors and different postures. They were all lifelike and extremely cute.
Because of this box of little raccoon slaves, Fang Manting welcomed the second guest who came to the door in addition to Zhaoyan.
