Over there, Jinyu and Jinshi had already answered the emperor's questions with a smile. The emperor saw that Jin Fengju had been lowering his head slightly. He was not at all as high-spirited as he was in the imperial study room and the court. He looked like a filial and sensible baby. He couldn't help but smile and said: "Why don't you talk now? In the court earlier, because Chu Daxiu came to your family, weren't you very impassioned? Then Chu Daxiu was also unlucky, because he paid attention to something he shouldn't have. What happened has made you so embarrassed that you didn’t dare to go out for several days, why are you silent now?”
Jin Fengju quickly stood up and walked to the middle of the ground. Just as he was about to kneel down, he heard the emperor say displeasedly: "I am now a guest in your home, just like visiting relatives and friends. I have accepted all the rules and regulations in the court and watch them every day. I've been tired of kneeling next to you for a long time. Now that I've finally come to your house, I'm incognito again and still have to kneel. I'm sorry, I'm not here to relax, but to make myself tired. Go back and sit down and talk."
Jin Fengju hurriedly bowed his head and said: "Yes, I obey the order." He returned to the chair and sat down, and said angrily: "I already know my mistake. I shouldn't have forgotten my duty as a minister because I was so angry in the court that day. , let alone sarcastic remarks about Mr. Chu. To be fair, he is the imperial censor and has the power to report things. This is what he should do. Even if it is inappropriate, the emperor will make a decision. I was still too young that day. It’s full.”
The emperor couldn't help but laugh, pointed at him and said to Jinyu Jinshi: "Listen, listen to what this boy of yours said. On the surface, he knew he was wrong, but in the end he couldn't help but defend himself. He is young and energetic. ? Bah, how many years have you been walking in front of the emperor? How dare you use this as an excuse? "
Jin Fengju breathed a huge sigh of relief. Listening to the emperor's tone, he was obviously very happy. So he quickly stood up and said, "Yes, I know I was wrong."
The emperor smiled slightly, picked up the tea cup and took a sip, then looked at Jin Fengju's legs and said leisurely: "I saw the way you were walking just now, and you couldn't tell at all. How about it? All the wounds have been healed. ?"
Jin Fengju's heart skipped a beat and he quickly said: "When I return to the emperor, although he seems to be fine when walking, the wound is still a little painful."
"Okay, you've been at home for a long time, how long do you want to stay idle?" The emperor put down the teacup: "You can go to court starting tomorrow, but you can't be as restive as before. , how old are you? You are the youngest in terms of seniority. Even if other ministers speak and report inappropriately, they cannot allow you to be as presumptuous as before. Do you understand what I say?"
"Yes, I understand." Jin Fengju replied with great respect, but he was rolling his eyes in his heart, secretly thinking that you, the old man, just don't like my leisure time. You are clearly telling me that I will never use this kind of rudeness as a cover to be lazy and slippery in the future. Alas! What a pity. This is what happens when you learn arts and martial arts and sell them to the emperor's family. Bah, this is not a showmanship. It's basically a sacrifice of one's life, okay
Thinking of this, I breathed a sigh of relief again, thinking that the emperor might have come here specifically to comfort him, so he should leave after saying this, right? This really gave me a lot of face, but thinking about it, this is a bit unlikely. I really wanted to appease him, so I just went to the palace to express a few words of encouragement and give me a royal meal. Do you need to come to our house incognito
Just as he was thinking about it, he saw the emperor stand up. Jin Fengju finally put his heart into his stomach this time, and he even breathed a sigh of relief. The three of them stood with their hands lowered respectfully. They were about to send the emperor out, but they heard the old emperor say: Then he said: "I didn't let you alert others just now because I didn't want to make a big show of it. Speaking of which, Grandma Fengju's body is still strong, right? Come on, take me to the backyard to have a look. I have seen her at the banquet in the palace before. She, I was not as old as I am now, and your grandfather has not passed away. But now, alas! Things have changed, and this world will soon belong to young people like you."
Jin Feng raised his eyelids, but now he didn't think about whether there was any deep meaning in the emperor's words, because the emperor was going to the backyard to see Old Mrs. Jin, which completely confused him. When he saw the old man walking out, he hurriedly hurriedly He said: "Your Majesty, please stay a moment. Rong Chen will go to the backyard to report first."
"I've reported it. Your grandmother and your mother must put on imperial clothes and receive them with a big ceremony. I just want to live a life of ordinary people and don't want to be the emperor. If they are allowed to do this, what's the difference between being in the palace? respectively?"
Jin Fengju's forehead was sweating, and he said: "Although I say so, my grandmother is old, this... this..."
The emperor glanced at him and suddenly laughed and cursed: "You bastard, what are you talking about? Am I a monster? The old lady suddenly fainted from fear when she saw me?"
"It's not a scare, it's a joy, a surprise. Your Majesty knows that old people can't bear great joys and sorrows. The Emperor is here suddenly. I'm afraid that my grandmother will be too surprised and something bad will happen again." Jin Fengju desperately searched for words in his heart. In fact, for him to be able to speak and make distinctions now is already considered a remarkable feat of concentration. The two old brothers, Jin Jade and Stone, still feel like they are in a dream, and even their souls have not come back. , let alone someone as considerate as Jin Fengju.
"That's the case, then you should go and report it first. It's just to give them a preparation. As we agreed, they are not allowed to engage in the trap of meeting the emperor." The emperor warned, and Jin Fengju felt as if he had been granted amnesty. He quickly stood up and agreed, and then He hurried to the backyard.
At that time, Mrs. Jin was talking to Mrs. Jiang and Mrs. Fang in the room. She only said that the juniors should arrive at this time. Why haven't they seen anyone yet? Just as they were talking lively, they heard the maids outside say: "The young Marquis is here, what's going on?" Before he could finish speaking, Jin Fengju had already rushed in.
"Fengju, why are you so flustered? What happened?" Mrs. Jiang frowned. She had never seen her son in such a panic. She couldn't help but feel uneasy. She didn't know what was going on outside. is what happened.
"Quick, old lady, second madam, hurry up and get ready. The emperor has already arrived at Kangshou Yuan." Jin Fengju wiped the sweat from his head and picked up the teacup on his mother's table. Seeing a glass of cold water there, he didn't care. Paying attention to etiquette, I drank it all in one breath.
Old Mrs. Jin and Mrs. Jiang and Mrs. Fang had not yet come to their senses and thought he had made a mistake. Mrs. Fang then laughed and said, "Why is this child so flustered today? Who did you say is here? I vaguely heard you. You’re talking about the Emperor, are you trying to scare us to death?”
"Why are you so scared? It's just that... the emperor is here. Oh, I don't have time to say more. According to the old man's wishes, he also wants to give you a surprise. This is what I have been begging for so that I can come and say hello. I said, They were not allowed to dress up according to their grade, nor were they allowed to be picked up, just like ordinary people visiting relatives and friends. Oh my God, what did you really think of this? It really kills me to do this. "
Everyone came back to their senses and saw Jin Fengju spinning around on the ground. The whole family was in a panic. Jin Fengju then said to Luo Cui: "Why haven't they come yet? Please ask someone to invite the second grandma over. Yanfang and the others are also asked to wait in the flower hall of Kangshouyuan. Once the emperor wants to summon them, it would not be a huge neglect if they don't arrive."
Luo Cui's whole body felt as if Jiao Lei had beaten her. After hearing what Jin Fengju said, it took her a long time to come back to her senses and murmured: "Second Grandma? Which Second Grandma?"
Jin Fengju said: "What are you talking about? Naturally, the two second mistresses are invited over, as well as the eldest sister-in-law in the second wife's room, and several of my brother's children. They are all here and waiting in the flower hall."
Luo Cui just woke up from a dream, and quickly arranged for a few smart-talking maids to report the news. Although they couldn't make up according to the grade here, they also put on grand clothes. Fortunately, Mrs. Jiang and the others were all dressed solemnly, and In just a short time, the emperor arrived.
Because I came in and talked to the old lady for a while, asked her about her age and health, and talked about some old things about the old marquis, the whole room was silent and quiet, everyone lowered their heads and closed their eyes, and there was no atmosphere. Dare to speak out.
When the emperor saw this scene, he sighed and said to Jin Fengju: "It's so cold up there. In this position, I am just a lonely person. I hope to come to you to relax and relax, and everyone is in such awe. Anyway, you Where are the wife and the others? Today is the Dragon Boat Festival, why don't you come over to pay your respects to the old lady and mother-in-law?"
Jin Fengju hurriedly smiled and said: "Tonight is the Dragon Boat Festival family banquet, so we have arrived early. I heard that the emperor is here, so I dare not trespass. I hope the emperor will forgive me."
The emperor nodded and said: "Called everyone in. It's been so long. I've only heard that you have a few children, but I haven't seen them yet."
Jin Fengju hurriedly went out and said to the little maid at the door: "Go and ask the second mistress and the others to come in, and call the young master and the girls." After saying that, the little maid hurriedly went, and then a group of women filed in.
Except for Jiang Wanying, none of these people had ever entered the palace, let alone met the emperor, so they could only kneel down and kowtow and chant long live. Fu Qiuning also followed them, praying in his heart, secretly thinking that on this occasion, I must not say a word, and I must not be in the limelight. Whoever wants to do this kind of job can do it. "
The emperor did not let Jin Fengju introduce them one by one. His eyes flashed and he suddenly said to him: "Yes, I vaguely remembered the hot pot you gave me earlier. It seems that your wife made it, right? That hot pot is good. , I eat it often now."
