Here Jin Yanqiu glanced at his younger brother, and suddenly sighed and said: "I am going back to the palace tonight. Living at home for so many days is not a good feeling, and it has even hurt you. Alas! Qiu Ning You're right, who asked us to be born as girls, we have no control over our own lives."
Jin Fengju's eyes flashed, and he suddenly smiled and said, "Why do you say that? Is there anyone else in this house who dares to make you angry?"
Jin Yanqiu smiled bitterly and said: "Yes, of course no one dares to make me angry, even my parents are careful when talking to me, but do you think I can't see it? Everyone is as anxious as a hot pot. That ant, if it had magic power, a gust of wind would probably carry me back to the palace."
When Jin Fengju heard what she said, he knew that although she was complaining on the surface, the knot in her heart was almost untied, so he smiled and said: "How can it be so exaggerated as you said? And my injuries are caused by me." What happened has nothing to do with my sister at all, so don’t just think about blaming it on yourself."
Jin Yanqiu snorted and said: "Of course your injury is none of my business, but don't think that I don't know. In the court today, the emperor gave you a day off, saying it was compassionate, but why did he go to court when he didn't know? You have to wait for the decree to be announced again? This is your punishment. If your brother-in-law and I hadn't caused this quarrel, I'm afraid you wouldn't have suffered like this with us."
As soon as she said this, Jin Fengju was shocked. He sat up and asked, "Sister, who told you this?"
Seeing his serious look, Jin Yanqiu couldn't help being startled, and said solemnly: "What's this? Although I've returned to the palace, aren't there any of my people in the palace? What did you suffer in the court today? As punishment, the prince went back to tell people. My maid heard this and ran to tell me that later the emperor even left Prince Lie, Prince Hong and our enemy alone to ask them what they thought about Chu Daxiu's involvement in our family. .”
Jin Fengju didn't seem to take this matter to heart. He had already told Prince Rong everything he needed to say, so his brother-in-law would definitely do what he said. He was only worried about one thing, so he asked hurriedly: "In that case, do Sister Yanfang and the others know?"
Jin Yanqiu frowned and said: "Where am I supposed to know this? But today I let that damn Chu Daxiu read a book. How could Prince Lie and Prince Hong let go of this opportunity? I'm afraid that in a few days, the news will spread throughout the house. Right? As the saying goes, there is no wall that is airtight. It will only be a matter of time before Yanfang and the others find out? "
Jin Fengju also frowned, and after a long while he said: "Yes, I understand, I will handle this matter. Yes, my sister is going back tonight, have you sent someone back to tell your brother-in-law?"
Jin Yanqiu sneered: "What are you telling him to do? Do I still expect him to pick me up? I'm afraid that I don't know how to annoy me at this time. Bah, don't look at what I have done."
Jin Fengju smiled and said: "Brother-in-law is not like this anymore. Forgive me for being honest, he is a straight-tempered person. Although he sometimes does some stupid things on impulse, his character is excellent. Such a kind person is surprisingly not stupid, and It's rare, not to mention that he respects and loves his sister. Sister, listen to your brother, there are some things that are rare to be confused. Now you are a man like Tan Shang's brother-in-law. If Tan Shang is Prince Nahong and Prince Lie, they will not let prostitutes have children. , but if you have seven or eight concubines outside and countless concubines at home, is this good? I don’t think so."
Jin Yanqiu snorted again, but said nothing.
But Jin Fengju laughed again and said: "I'm afraid it's almost noon now. After dinner, I asked Jin Ming to go to the palace. After all, the fault is mostly on my brother-in-law this time. Let him come and pick you up, otherwise you If I go back to the palace by myself, what status and dignity do I have left? Does that mean it, sister?"
Jin Yanqiu stood up and sneered: "Don't tell him, tell him to pick me up and I won't go back. That's all, you have a good rest here and worry less about recuperating. That's better than anything else. I'll go back first." "As he said that, he quickly walked out of the door.
Jin Fengju smiled, knowing that although her sister said so, she actually acquiesced to her actions.
After eating, he ordered Jin Ming to take care of this matter. Jin Ming came back in the middle of the afternoon and said everything was done. Jin Fengju thought for a while and then said: "When you go to Qiuning's place, just say that I am very busy these days and will not go to Wanfengxuan. I am afraid that she will also be busy with Yu Niang's affairs, and I should not disturb her. Say this , so that she won’t be suspicious, I’m afraid she’ll feel uncomfortable if she knows I’m injured.”
Jin Ming agreed and thought to himself, Master, are you sure you are not being sentimental? The second grandma is cold and indifferent, because she is afraid that knowing that you are not going to Wanfengxuan these days will suit her needs and allow her to have some peace and quiet. But how dare you say this
When they arrived at Wanfengxuan, they saw Fu Qiuning and the others choosing satin to make bedding for Yu Niang. Seeing him coming, they asked Jin Fengju what he was doing. Jin Ming also answered everything according to his master's words. He didn't know if it was his misunderstanding, but he felt his mistress's eyes flicker, as if she knew something. Jin Ming didn't dare to stay any longer, fearing that the shrewd second mistress would find out the answer again, so he quickly found an excuse to leave.
After Jin Ming went out, Yu Niang and Yu Jie saw Fu Qiuning put down the satin and was in a daze. They were surprised and asked: "What's wrong, grandma? But because the little marquis can't come over these days to worry about it? In fact, it hasn't been a few days. Just as grandma said, once upon a time I’ve been here for six years.”
Fu Qiuning glanced at her, shook his head and said, "Am I that kind of person? There's just something wrong with this matter. That's all, Jian Feng, go and pick up a box of spring rolls and snacks that were fried just this morning, and send them to Kangshouyuan , I wanted to ask around by the way, there must be something wrong with the young Marquis."
Jian Feng agreed, picked up the pastries and went out. Fu Qiuning was not in the mood to do any work here. He just sat on the couch, secretly thinking that no matter how busy Jin Fengju was at this time, there was no way he would not be able to come over. He should tell himself what happened in the court today, right? I came here by myself so late last night...
Thinking of this, he suddenly thought that there was a thunderstorm when he left this morning, and there were many trees in the garden. He couldn't help but sit up straight, and thought to himself, could it have been struck by lightning? No, no, if that was the case, someone would have rushed to report the news. What's more, God didn't even use lightning to strike him when he abandoned his wife and son. Now that he has been cleared, God is more energetic to settle old scores. ? This is absolutely impossible.
If he wasn't struck by lightning, then he was accidentally injured. He was afraid that I would be worried, so he didn't want to let me know? Fu Qiuning got up and walked around the room for a few steps, feeling more and more irritable. He finally waited until Jian Feng came back. When he asked, it turned out that Jin Fengju was injured. When Jian Feng went there, the old lady happened to go to Qingwan Pavilion. It can be seen that This injury is not very light.
Although Fu Qiuning had already made an accurate guess, he was still surprised when he heard the news. When he heard that Jian Feng said that a sharp stone pricked his leg while hiding from trees in the garden, why did the emperor still let him stay at home? After resting for a few days, when she was summoned to go to court again, a big stone weighed heavily on her heart. He held his forehead and groaned: "This Demon Star has already promised to move here after the Dragon Boat Festival, how could he behave like this?"
Yin wanted to get up and visit Jin Fengju, but then he thought of the faces of Jiang Wanying and others in Qingwan Pavilion, but hesitated again. At this moment, he heard footsteps outside. It turned out that the old lady sent a maid to invite Qiu Ning, saying that the princess I'll go back home today and ask her to give it away.
Fu Qiuning knew that the princess had finally figured it out, and couldn't help but breathed a sigh of relief, secretly thinking that no matter what, the incident had finally passed, but he didn't know what the emperor thought of Prince Rong. Was he no longer destined to be the heir apparent? Because he was busy, he agreed, changed his clothes, and took Jian Feng to Kangshouyuan.
When I arrived at Kangshouyuan, I saw Jin Yanqiujiang's wife, Jiang Wanying, and others there. Fu Qiuning first visited the ancestor and the princess, and while everyone was talking, he came to the old lady and asked quietly: "Ancestor, how are you doing? He sent Jin Ming to tell me that I can't go to Wanfengxuan these days. I I knew something must be wrong. What kind of injury lasts for several days? My ancestors finally gave me some information and gave me some ideas."
The old lady smiled and said: "When I came back, I heard that Jian Feng was coming, so I knew that it must be you who sent me to report back to God. I thought that my grandson was also smart and confused for a while. If Jin Ming said this, wouldn't it mean that there is no silver in this place? Three hundred taels? No wonder you noticed it immediately."
Before Fu Qiuning could speak, he saw Jin Yanqiu coming over at some unknown time, and said with a smile: "Where is the three hundred taels of silver here? Fengju has nothing to do. If he doesn't send someone to report the news, I'm afraid his brothers and sisters will have to do it even more." Worried, and more likely to become suspicious. It would be better to send Jin Ming to say something, and maybe he will get away with it." As she said that, she looked at Fu Qiuning nodding and smacking his lips: "I really don't know, my brother is smart and arrogant. Yeah, what are you capable of? To surrender him to this level?"
Fu Qiuning blushed so much that she almost turned red, and said softly: "The princess is joking, where is this?"
Jin Yanqiu smiled and said: "What? Are you still stubborn with me? Alas! Speaking of which, my brother is also pitiful. His leg was pierced by a stone and the bones were exposed, but he still can't get his wife's worry and concern. He deserves this injury in vain. Accept it. If you go over and check it out, it might be better quickly."
When the princess made a joke, Fu Qiuning simply didn't know what to say. Looking secretly, fortunately, no one paid attention to this. Suddenly they heard that the children had come after school. It turned out that Mrs. Jin sent someone to the school to talk to her husband and let several children get out of school early. come over.
The room became lively for a while, and someone said that Prince Rong was here and was drinking tea with him in the study. Jin Yanqiu stood up slowly and bowed three times in front of the old lady and Mrs. Jiang. When he stood up, he was already crying. The old lady and Mrs. Jiang also had wet eyes. They held her hand and choked with sobs: "Go, go... don't be willful in the future, ah!"
Fu Qiuning couldn't help but think of the section of "Dream of Red Mansions" about Yuan Chun's wedding ceremony, and thought that the princess was better than Yuan Concubine at that time. Although it was difficult for her to return to her parents' home, she didn't have to be as strict as Yuan Concubine's wedding ceremony, let alone Yuan Concubine. The concubine only had a few hours, but she stayed at home for a few days, and she was much better than the other party.
