Biyu was waiting outside. When she heard that Jin Fengju was going to Wanfengxuan, she wondered: "Sir, Jin Ming has gone home..." Before she could finish, she saw Cai Lian waving to her, so she quickly changed her words and said, "But outside There are two boys on duty at night, I'll ask them to come over and accompany me there."
"No need, no one needs to accompany me. I'll go by myself today." Jin Fengju said as he took the lantern and said to Cailian Jasper: "You guys should go back to your house and have a rest. I've been staying here these days, but... You are so tired that you haven’t slept well for several nights. Go back and have a good sleep. You have to come over early tomorrow to serve me in court."
Cai Lian Biyu agreed and advised Jin Fengju to take the boys there. Jin Fengju was willing to listen and said with a smile: "In addition to carrying lanterns, they don't even know how to embroider their legs. Even if something happens, they still want me to help them. Who will serve whom?" As he said this, he watched Cai Lian Jasper clean up and lock the door, then walked away with a lantern.
When we walked into Yongcui Garden, we saw darkness all around. The trees were so beautiful and tall during the day, but at night they looked like ghost shadows, which gave people a particularly eerie feeling. However, Jin Fengju didn't care. He walked forward slowly with a lantern, and saw lights on in several courtyards in the distance. That was where Jin Luanfang, Feng Zhenzhen, Feng Mingzhu and others lived.
Seeing those courtyards, Jin Fengju couldn't help but look back. He had just walked past Fengya Building and sighed in his heart, wondering when Qiu Ning could move here? At that time, the lights can be turned on in this building. I would light up the lamp to chat with her at night and cut the red candles together. Wouldn't it be very romantic and charming
Just as I was thinking about it, I heard noisy footsteps and discussions in the distance, and then a few faint lights lit up. After a while, I got closer, and it turned out that it was a large group of mothers-in-law and daughters-in-law. The leader, Jin Fengju, also knew him, and he was from the mansion. A wife who is in charge of things, even he would call her auntie on weekdays.
He stopped immediately and said with a slight smile: "Aunt Yu, is this a night check?" As soon as he finished speaking, the women opposite who wanted to hold up lanterns to shine on him immediately put down their hands, and they all shrank back and did not dare to speak anymore. Only Aunt Yu stepped forward and said with a smile: "Isn't that right? There are several young ladies living in the garden now. At this time, I walked around the houses to check if any of the mothers-in-law and daughters-in-law were lazy and making money and drinking. After checking, I happened to see We led them to the courtyard gate. The old lady told us not to be slow, and besides, my aunt and the ladies are also very kind."
Jin Fengju nodded and said with a smile: "Yes, a few girls have suddenly been added to the house, which makes it more lively, and the ancestors are also happy. It's just going to make you work harder. I'll talk to Wanying later, since these people have been added, let you take care of them. Well, I should give you some extra money."
When the ladies heard what the young marquis said, their faces couldn't help but light up with joy, but it was dark at night and they couldn't see clearly. At that moment, Aunt Yu also smiled and said: "I can't help it. It's just a few more steps. This also requires an extra monthly salary. How can the slaves feel at peace? Yes, it's so late for the second master, but where are you going?"
Jin Fengju coughed and said with a smile: "I remembered that I wanted to discuss something with your second grandmother, so I went to Wanfengxuan." He was embarrassed to say that he was on a whim and missed Qiu Ning, so he went there at night, but he Not to mention, these women knew it very well in their hearts. They all snickered in their hearts and sighed at the same time, secretly thinking that Second Grandma Ning was just like a plum blossom. I really don’t know what kind of charming tricks she used to treat our father. It's so confusing.
So Aunt Yu took her mother-in-law and daughter-in-law to leave, and Jin Fengju also left for Wanfengxuan. Little did he know that this scene was all in the eyes of the people standing in front of the windows on the embroidered building in the distance.
"What are you looking at, young lady?" Zi Yuan, Feng Pearl's maid, laid out the quilt. Seeing her young lady lost in thought in front of the window, she walked over and closed the window. She said with a smile, "Although it is spring, there is still a bit of spring chill at this time, young lady. But be careful of catching a cold, it’s not a joke.”
"I know, I will pay attention to it." Feng Zhenzhu walked back to the table and sat down. After thinking about it for a while, she couldn't help but said: "Zi Yuan, I just saw that the ladies in Cha Ye seemed to have met someone. After talking for a while, After saying this, the ladies went to the east out of the garden, but the man was walking to the west. Who do you think this could be? How could he have such privileges? Even in the middle of the night, he could still walk around the house freely. .”
Zi Yuan then smiled and said: "You still need to ask? The only people with such power are the masters and a few other masters. Now our master is in Jiangnan, and the masters of the second master's family have also gone out. Only the young marquis remains in the house. , the girl said again that she was going to the west, so the young marquis must be going to Wanfengxuan. It was really funny to say that Second Grandma Ning’s servant had seen him twice, and his appearance was really ordinary. I don’t know what happened to him. I just liked her."
Feng Zhenzhen glanced at the closed window and sighed: "As the saying goes, beauty is a bad thing, so it would be better for Second Grandma Ning to be more ordinary. With someone as affectionate and righteous as the young marquis, who loves her, wouldn't it be better than our sister Ping?" Is it much better to be alone?"
Zi Yuan heard something wrong with the meaning of her words. Then she saw that although her girl was saying sad words, there was a sense of spring in the corners of her eyebrows. She felt bright at the moment, so she tried her words and said with a smile: "Girl, don't think like that, now that After falling into the Marquis's residence, I feel that the old lady is very good to the girls, and I'm afraid that if I don't find a good family for the girls and sisters in the future, won't I be able to rely on them for life by then?"
Feng Zhenzhen shook his head and smiled bitterly: "A good family? What's the use of having a good family? If only God could have mercy on me and allow me to find someone who is as affectionate and righteous as the young marquis, not to mention how old are our sisters? ? Do you still think you are Binting’s daughter? Marriage from such a good family should not be extravagant. "
After she finished speaking, she seemed to realize that she shouldn't be so frivolous in front of a maid. She couldn't help but blush with embarrassment and stamped her feet: "You are spinning your hooves in circles to trick me into saying these shameless words. Please forgive me." Can I get you?" As he said that, he chased Zi Yuan and beat him.
That Ziyuan is a newly purchased maid from the Jin Mansion. She used to work outside, but how can she compare to the leisure here? His physical strength is much stronger than that of Feng Zhenzhu. So after only running a few steps, I saw my girl holding on to a chair and panting slightly, with one hand covering her chest. That look was really endearing.
She then walked forward with a smile and said: "Everyone said that Xizi Pengxin is extremely beautiful. But when I saw the girl today, I thought how could Xizi Pengxin be as beautiful as the girl? For someone as beautiful as the girl, if it's just because of Due to age and the incident a few days ago, the marriage was in ruins. God really didn't open his eyes. The slave and the girl had only been together for a few days, but he knew that the girl was a kind-hearted person and would be rich and happy in the future. Far away Needless to say, there is a person right in front of me. In terms of character, family background, appearance, and talent, he is superior to others in everything. But if the girl really falls in love with him, I am afraid she will suffer some injustice in terms of status."
"You're bullying me so hard that I can't move. You're becoming more and more lawless." Feng Zhenzhen pretended to scold in anger, but her heart was pounding because of Zi Yuan's words.
She knew very well that her sisters had fallen to this level and came out of a bandit's den. No one in the capital would want them anymore. Just with this charming appearance, what kind of young talent is Jin Fengju? I'm afraid that all the rich and wealthy people in the capital combined won't be able to compare with him. Moreover, he values friendship and cares for his ordinary-looking first wife. Once his sister follows him, won’t he pamper her even more? With such a life-long dependence, and the Duke of Jingguo's palace being so prominent, even if she is an aunt, she is not treating her sisters badly...
Because the more I think about it, the more it makes sense. Zi Yuan was a smart girl, and just by looking at her face, he knew that the girl had been persuaded by him. This maid is also scheming, secretly thinking that all the confidant maids in the grandmother's and aunt's room have always been girls from the same room. A handsome person like the young marquis, as long as I have one chance with him, I will be willing to die. Yin even made up his mind to encourage his girl to let go of her hands and do whatever it takes to "complete" her and Jin Fengju's good deeds.
Not to mention that the master and the servant had their own thoughts, and they both had their minds on Jin Fengju's head, but he was still unaware of it. He only said that he came to Wanfengxuan alone. Although he didn't come here at night, the door of Wanfengxuan was closed early now. I could only see lights coming from some houses from a distance, knowing that most people had not rested yet.
Because he went to call the door, the servant in the concierge was impatient at first. When he heard that it was the young marquis, he was so frightened that Ma Liuer opened the door and knelt down with a "gudong" sound.
Jin Fengju asked him to get up and rewarded him with a gold leaf, which made the guy who opened the door go crazy with joy. You may not be able to earn a piece of gold leaf in this life, but now the young marquis casually reached out and took it. How could he not be ecstatic when he was rewarded with a golden leaf
Jin Fengju didn't alert anyone, so he went to Qiuning's house alone, opened the door and walked into the back room. He saw her taking off her makeup in front of the mirror while humming Huangmei Opera. Maybe she heard the sound, so she said: "The children are asleep. Really? If you are sleeping, you should go and have a rest, I don’t need to wait here."
As he spoke, Fu Qiuning felt something was wrong when he heard the footsteps not only not leaving, but coming forward. He quickly stood up and turned around to look. When he saw it was Jin Fengju, he couldn't help but froze for a moment, and then said in surprise: "My God, why is it you? Is there something important this late at night?"
"I miss you, is that important?" Jin Feng smiled and handed the lantern to Fu Qiuning. Watching her blow out the candles inside, he untied his cloak and said with a smile: "I was in the study, and I was going to take a rest. I couldn't sleep anymore, I just thought about you, so I came over to see you."
