Fu Qiuning suddenly realized it and couldn't help but smile: "Don't worry, the young Marquis promised this matter personally, how could anything go wrong? But now that the Marquis and the uncle are back soon, and they have been separated in recent years, why? The young Marquis has been sent to the south of the Yangtze River on errands again. The family is so busy that we must not be distracted by this matter. You can just wait for a few more days with peace of mind. I think after the New Year, spring will be warm and flowers will bloom. At that time, wouldn’t it be good to inform the old lady and the young marquis again and marry the beautiful lady?”
"I can't thank you enough for my grandma's words. How can I dare to bother the old lady and the young prince?" Mother Zhang quickly stood up and saluted again and again, and left with a smile on her face as she thanked her for her kindness.
After she left, Fu Qiuning looked towards the back door and said, "Come in quickly, how long do you want to stand here? Have you heard enough? Are you relieved now?" Before he finished speaking, Yu Niang walked in with her face flushed and stamping her feet. He said: "Who is worried? This servant is just here to deliver tea, but I want to listen to you talking about this matter. I can't come in for a while."
Qiu Ning thought to herself, can't you leave even if you can't come in? But he refused to leave, which showed that he was concerned about this matter. So he just smiled without revealing anything, picked up the sachet on the bed and embroidered it, and said at the same time: "Now your life will be like this. Although your family background is not prominent, you are finally the one you like, and he has a deep love for you. Come to think of it, After getting married, the husband and wife are harmonious, which is rare. It is a hundred times better than those women who marry into rich families but have a miserable life. But there is still Yu Jie, and she is not young. She will be twenty-one during the New Year. Folk women, this Now we have several children. In the past, I wouldn’t have dared to think about it, but now, the young Marquis finally treats us well, so it shouldn’t be difficult for him to choose a good family for Yu Jie. "
Yu Niang said with a smile: "This is what I am saying seriously. Yu Jie has been sold by traffickers since she was a child. She finally lived with her grandma and lived a comfortable life for these years. Now that she is old, it is time for her to get married. These are all the merits of grandma, but there is one thing: I have to add two girls to my side."
Fu Qiuning smiled and said: "What kind of girl are you adding? If you are married, it would be best if you can return to Wanfengxuan. If you can't come back, I will be alone and just pick a few wives from the house to help me. . I picked those maids, all of them have big eyes and big hearts, and if they listen to others to instigate them, or think about picking high branches to repay God, I will not worry. "
Yuniang pursed her lips and smiled and said: "That's all. What I'm most afraid of is that the maids are too wild-minded and want to climb to a higher branch. Once they fly on the branch, the sparrow will turn into a phoenix. I heard that the second grandmother and my aunt The maids in our house don't like to go out. Every time the young marquis goes there, they wish they could serve on the master's behalf."
Fu Qiuning smiled and said: "I'm not very worried about this. Alas! Poor women, they have such wishful thinking and waste their youth in vain. I don't even think about it. If I am such a person, do they have to wait until today? Wait until today. There is no news yet, so we should give up our infatuation early and find a place for ourselves to settle down."
While talking, Yin had already embroidered the sachet and only had to sew it together, so he put it down and frowned: "Why hasn't Yujie sent over the cut clothes? She should have done it by now." Is it over?"
"That's right. She can just cut two pieces of clothes with her hands." Yu Niang put the teacup on the table in front of Qiu Ning and walked out: "I'll go and have a look. If it's done, bring it over. If there's anything left, It’s been more than a month to celebrate the New Year, so it’s time to do it now.”
After saying that, he was about to go out when he saw the door being pushed open. Yujie walked in with a stack of fabrics and cotton in his hand, and said with a smile: "I guess grandma is waiting impatiently. It's just that the hair is not easy to trim and it took a lot of effort." It’s just been done, but it looks really good. It will look absolutely adorable on the young master and the young lady.”
For a moment, Fu Qiuning and Yu Niang took it over to look at it and also praised it. The three of them started doing it, and in the evening, Jin Zangfeng and Jin Zangjiao got off school and saw their mother making New Year clothes for them. Children, these are extremely happy things, and they all jumped and screamed happily.
Yujie saw the envy on the faces of Jinzhuan and Luhua beside him, and said with a smile: "You two don't have to be envious. Grandma is compassionate and made a set for each of you. Not only that, she will also give it to you during the annual vacation." You two pieces of fabric, take them back and ask your mother to make you two new outfits for spring and summer."
After the words fell, Jin Zhuan and Lu Hua hurriedly knelt down to thank them. Qiu Ning hurriedly asked to help them up. Seeing the happy smiles of the four children, she felt very satisfied.
The family was enjoying themselves happily when they heard the door of the courtyard. Yu Niang went out and opened the door, but it was Luo Cui from the old lady's room who came over and said with a smile: "Grandma, I've really seen the heavy snow these days, and I'm getting more and more worried." He didn't even go to our house, the old lady is still reading."
Fu Qiuning smiled and said: "I'm afraid of disturbing the old lady's peace. The old lady also said it's snowing. Wanfengxuan is also far away from Kangshouyuan. I don't need to go there. Why did I send you to ask for punishment today?"
Luo Cui said with a smile: "Who is here to ask questions? I just asked, grandma, please don't slap the blame on the slaves. Later, the ancestors scolded me for not being able to speak. I am here to report to you today, Mr. Hou. My uncle and I will be home tomorrow, and the old lady asked you to take your two children there tomorrow, and also meet their grandfather and uncle. You should also meet your father-in-law."
Fu Qiuning just pondered for a moment, then nodded and said: "Okay, I understand. Thank you, old lady, for remembering me. I will be there early tomorrow morning. That's right. Didn't you receive a letter from Mr. Marquis?"
Luo Cui chuckled and said: "This is strange, grandma actually came to ask this slave? Can't the letter from the young marquis be given to our ancestors? Of course it is for you." Before he could finish speaking, Fu Qiuning's face was already slightly red. He said softly: "How could he give me a letter? Even if the letter is for sister Wan, who would come to tell me specifically? That's all, I'm just asking in vain."
Luo Cui said curiously: "This is strange. I see that the young marquis has always been caring about grandma. I always thought that it was you who refused to forgive the second master because of the past five years. But you are so worried now. It is obvious that you are not willing to forgive me." It’s not that I don’t have him in my heart. In that case, my good grandma, you listen to me. Seriously speaking, I really can’t blame the young marquis. You should stop being so awkward and give him a good look, husband and wife. Wouldn't it be good to put an end to the old grudges? We met the old lady and felt happy."
Fu Qiuning stamped her feet and said: "I only said one thing, and you used these words to tease me. It's true that these things won't be clear for a while. Okay, okay, it's getting dark. You should hurry back to Kangshouyuan." My ancestor still needs you to serve me carefully."
Luo Cui said with a smile: "I wanted to have a meal here, but grandma just drove me away. Okay, okay, why don't we just leave now? There is no letter from the young marquis. My wife told my ancestor the day before yesterday, Alas! I don’t know what kind of errand this time is, but I think it’s going to be tricky in Yangzhou.”
"There's no need to worry. Didn't the young marquis just go to the south of the Yangtze River in the spring? There should be someone taking care of her there. Please be gentle with the old lady when you go back." Fu Qiuning sent Luocui out the door, but he heard her He smiled and said: "If you are filial, you would go and comfort the old lady yourself. How can we compare to you? You are also literate and an intimate of the young Marquis..."
Before she could finish her words, she saw Fu Qiuning chasing her and wanted to beat her. She turned around and ran away in fright. As she ran, she turned back and laughed loudly: "Look, I made my slave right. I am so angry that I am waiting for the future... Ouch... "But it turned out that she just turned around to talk, and she might as well have slipped. Fu Qiuning just laughed out loud, shook his head and said: "Okay, I fell down after all. Let's see if you dare to make fun of others in the future."
Na Luocui stood up from the snow, patted the snow on her clothes, and refused to admit defeat, saying loudly: "Those who laugh at others are inferior to others. Grandma, don't laugh at me. One day, I will let this slave see you fall too." Fall, that’s what I see now.”
Fu Qiuning couldn't help laughing and scolding: "Follow your path seriously, be careful if you fall again, you will never forgive others." As she said this, she saw that Luocui was far away, so she closed the courtyard door. Turn back.
That night, he found the clothes for Jin Zangfeng and Jin Zangjiao to wear the next day. Fu Qiuning thought about it again and took out a set of quilted jackets that had only been worn twice and were still 80% new. Thinking that these clothes were not brand new, There is no suspicion of competing with those children, and it is not very shabby. It looks shabby in this world, so it is most suitable.
Yin gave the two children a few more words, telling them what they should say when meeting their grandfather and uncle. Because after the two children fell asleep, they couldn't sleep here. So they went to the window and opened it, and saw the bright moon outside the window, reflecting the snow on the ground, making it even more bright.
I don’t know what happened to Jin Fengju in Jiangnan. Is he safe and sound? Why don't you know how to write a letter back? I know my family will be worried. Or was he in such danger that he didn't even have time to write a letter to his family to report that he was safe
Thinking of this, her heart couldn't help but feel heavy. Although she kept telling herself that she got close to the other person because she was afraid of losing her support, she also knew that the worry was not all due to gains and losses. She was really worried about this from the bottom of her heart. The man's safety, thinking that he might be in danger, made his heart clench.
"Grandma is so excited about poetry again? There is only so much warmth in this room, but it has been blown away." Suddenly she heard Yu Jie talking behind her, and then the little maid couldn't help but step forward and close the window, and said with a smile: "That's right, little girl The Marquis gave me a lot of charcoal, but if I had let you blow the wind like this in the past, the house would not be able to recover for a whole night."
