Jin Fengju couldn't help laughing, but as soon as he laughed twice, he covered his chest and coughed again. He shook his head and said intermittently: "Come... It's too late... Ahem... It's too late..."
"Okay, the injury hasn't healed yet, and I don't forget to talk too much." Fu Qiuning was really convinced by Jin Fengju: "From now on, you are not allowed to speak anymore."
"Okay." Jin Feng nodded and kept silent. For a moment, the world around the two of them was silent. Occasionally, the wind blew and the snow fell, and there was a rustling sound. The laughter of the two children behind him also echoed far away, accompanied by Jin Ming's cry: "Oh, miss, please be gentle, don't hit the young master..."
Fu Qiuning couldn't help but look up at Jin Fengju, but when he met his eyes and looked at him, he smiled slightly and said: "What? Is there a feeling that silence is better than sound at this time?"
"I asked you to stop talking, but don't forget to talk nonsense." Fu Qiuning rolled her eyes at him, but she knew in her heart that she really felt happy just now, and this was the only peace she wanted in this imaginary era. happy life.
Returning to Wanfengxuan, Yu Jie and Yu Niang quickly placed big soft pillows on the couch, and Jin Fengju sat leaning on them, smiling and saying, "It's quite warm here now."
Fu Qiuning smiled and said: "Thank you for this, Mr. Marquis. If it weren't for the charcoal sent to us, we wouldn't have such a good house to live in. In previous winters, everyone huddled together and felt cold sitting on the kang..." No wait. After saying that, she saw that Jin Fengju looked a little sad. She knew that the other party must be feeling guilty, so she quickly stopped talking.
Yu Jie brought tea and heard Fu Qiuning say: "There are still a few of the snow pears I picked in the autumn in the cellar. Take two out and make a bowl of white fungus snow pears for me to stew. It will moisten the lungs and clear the fire." Waiting for the rain. Jie agreed to go, and then she sat down opposite Jin Fengju and said softly: "The injury is not healed yet, and I am still coughing. It shows how serious the injury was that day. Why did you act so cruelly this time? Who will be the courtier from now on?" Do you still dare to get close to you?"
Jin Fengju let out a breath, his face became more and more lazy, he shook his head and smiled bitterly: "It's not that I don't know how to adapt this time, but you haven't seen it, what have those evil people done? What if they are just greedy for money? , I am not willing to risk the disapproval of the world. But there is no reason to let them go. Among these officials, there are also several people from my brother-in-law. This time, I also dealt with them, not to show others. , but everyone has a way to die."
Seeing Jin Fengju talking, Fu Qiuning's face turned serious, and his eyebrows were filled with murderous intent. He couldn't help but be frightened, and said softly: "What on earth have these officials done? To make you so angry? I'll tell you that you are not Such a staunch person is still wondering whether the message was conveyed by mistake."
Jin Fengju snorted coldly: "What did they do? You should ask them what evil they did. Yes, this time, thanks to the reminder you gave me that day, otherwise I would never have thought that the real Yangzhou magistrate had already He was poisoned, and the current one turned out to be a counterfeit. This is just a crime of deceiving the emperor, which should be to confiscate the family and exterminate the clan. You don't know, all the officials who went to Yangzhou City had to dig out their consciences, leaving nothing behind. You have to be a scumbag, otherwise, sooner or later, you will be ostracized and assassinated. Let’s not talk about anything else. Last year, there was a heavy rain in the south of the Yangtze River, and a section of the Yangzhou Canal burst its embankments. The black-hearted dog officials actually deliberately tricked many victims into entering the city, and then I drugged them to make them unconscious, sent thousands of people to plug the gap, and later said that the victims were swept away by the water. Do you think this is unscrupulous? They deserve to be cut to pieces by a thousand cuts?"
Fu Qiuning was stunned when he heard this, and then heard Jin Fengju say bitterly: "What a beautiful Yangzhou city. I paid an unannounced visit in disguise, but it has become a hell on earth. Except for those places where people are drunk and wealthy, the people are everywhere with no clothes or food to eat." It can be seen that there are still many things that I cannot tell you, otherwise I will give you nightmares. In short, every official I handle this time should be killed ten or eight times before the people will be angry. The file is handed in At the Long Case, the Holy Master Long Yan was furious and wanted to kill the people below him again. I tried to persuade him to stop this after returning to Beijing... Ahem... "
Seeing that he was agitated, Fu Qiuning hurriedly handed him the tea, patting his back and saying, "How long has it been since? I'm still so angry. If so, don't talk about it anymore. It's just that Jiangnan is going to cause chaos this time." It's been a while, and I wonder if the officials sent again can save some face and stop committing such evil crimes."
Jin Fengju nodded and said: "I have selected some local officials to temporarily act as government affairs officials, and I estimate that a few of them can probably stay. How could Prince Hong and Prince Lie let go of such an opportunity? Someone must be placed. But this time according to the Bible After vigorous rectification, they should have restrained themselves."
Fu Qiuning nodded, sat back, and watched Jin Feng holding up the teacup and tasting it slowly. He thought to himself that if this man was in a TV series, he would be an upright man, not to mention that his appearance took advantage of him. If it was really in a TV series, I don’t know. How many men and women would be crazy about it
"Yes, you haven't seen daddy and eldest brother when they are back, right?" Jin Fengju suddenly put down his tea cup. In a blink of an eye, he found Qiu Ning looking at him. When he looked over, his eyes were a little panicked. He turned away and said: "Yes, I haven't seen them yet. I have seen both children. They said that their grandfather and uncle were very good to them and gave them things. Children are the easiest to bribe."
Jin Fengju smiled slightly, wondering if there was any need to peek at her husband? I will sit here and let you watch it openly and openly, for as long as you want, even if it is a lifetime. However, he knew that Qiu Ning didn't like such jokes, so he just smiled knowingly, coughed and said, "Yes, I met my father and eldest brother, and they both said that Feng'er and Jiao'er are excellent, and that your teachings are good." Where’s Fang?”
Fu Qiuning knew that her father-in-law and eldest brother-in-law might not have such a good opinion of her. Needless to say, Mrs. Jiang couldn't have anything good to say about her. But since Jin Fengju said this, she was naturally happy to pretend to be ignorant.
Jin Fengju added: "Because of my trip to the south this year and my injury, I originally agreed to take this opportunity to enter Feng'er Jiao'er into the family tree, but it was also delayed..." Before he could finish, Fu Qiuning laughed and said, "That's not right. Urgent, as long as you have the will, you can get it next year or later. Just do it before Feng'er takes the boy's exam."
Jin Fengju smiled and said, "This is natural. Feng'er is in high school and he is here to honor our Jin family and honor our ancestors."
Fu Qiuning sneered and said, "These words have a cold air to them. Could it be that Feng'er can't honor the ancestors of the Jin family, so he is not allowed to be included in the family tree?"
Jin Fengju thought for a while, then smiled dumbly and said: "You are right in scolding me. It is true that I said the wrong thing. Alas! It was only after I met them last spring that I realized how wrong I was. As a biological father, You actually got angry at your children and failed to shoulder the responsibility of taking care of them. No wonder you are so cold-hearted towards me and still refuse to forgive me. Every time I think about it, even I feel that I am really heinous."
"Don't mention the past anymore." Fu Qiuning stood up with a smile: "I went to the kitchen to see the white fungus and snow pear stewed in Yujie. The children are not allowed to be close to you these days. They are worried about you and dare not ask. You should also be with Let's talk nicely." After saying that, he went without waiting for Jin Fengju's consent. Here, Jin Zangfeng and Jin Zangjiao had been looking eagerly outside the door. When their mother said this, they both ran in and took Jin Fengju's hand. The hands asked long and short questions, which made Xiao Houye's heart feel so warm that it almost turned into water.
Because of Jin Fengju's incident, Fu Qiuning, who was in the third grade of junior high school, did not go back to her parents' home. Princess Rong was now a princess and could not go back to her parents' home casually. Only Jin Xianghou's own people celebrated the New Year happily.
It was the Lantern Festival in a blink of an eye. Jin Fengju originally planned to take his wife, concubines, and several children to watch the lanterns on the street that night, but he gave up because his injury had not healed. The injury took two months of on-and-off treatment before it finally fully healed.
*****************************
Jin Fengju was finally able to go to court. When he came down, he was surrounded by ministers. Naturally, there was a flood of flattery. Fortunately, the emperor immediately announced that he should go to the South Study Room, and he was able to escape.
The emperor had nothing to say. He only said that he had finished eating the hot pot sauce he had sent earlier and asked him to send more. This made Jin Fengju dumbfounded. When he came out of the south study room, he saw Prince Rong. Before he could even say a few words, he saw the brother-in-law's eyes widening and he complained: "These days, the threshold of my house is almost broken. I can refuse some officials, but some can’t, please think of an idea quickly, what should I do?”
Jin Fengju smiled and said, "What's the point? Just like what you just said, see what you need to see and push past what you don't need to see. If you are upright, you are not afraid of slanting shadows. If you just think about everything, you will miss your tracks."
Prince Rong said angrily: "You said it lightly, that's all. Regardless of this, you have to have a drink with me today." After saying that, he took Jin Fengju and left, but he heard Jin Fengju say: "I have just recovered from my injury. Dare you drink too much? Besides, after more than two months of rest, there are so many things to do in the house. You are my brother-in-law, not my creditor. How can you urge me like this? Don't worry, I won't have to do it for ten days and a half. , how about I come to your door to ask for a drink myself?"
When Prince Rong heard what he said, he didn't dare to force himself anymore, so he could only nod his head and said: "Okay, remember what I said today, or I will go to your father-in-law to file a complaint against you." After saying that, he suddenly remembered something and approached Jin Feng and said : "Yes, it's been more than three months since my father-in-law returned to Beijing, right? It's time to make arrangements logically. What are you thinking?"
