"Grandma... Grandma..."
Jian Feng's voice brought Fu Qiuning back from her thoughts. Seeing her come to her senses, the beautiful maid asked in confusion: "What are you thinking about, grandma? So lost in thought?"
Fu Qiuning smiled and said: "It's nothing, I remembered some past events. Okay, let Sister-in-law Qin fry the fried dough sticks quickly. Will the fourth son be back soon? I'll ask you to get up." After that, he turned and left.
Back in the bedroom, Jin Fengju was still sleeping soundly. Fu Qiuning called him twice. Seeing that he was motionless, he came up to push him, but Jin Fengju grunted, then turned over and continued to sleep.
"After resting at home for so many days, I'm used to sleeping in." Fu Qiuning couldn't help but smile and whisper, but going to court was no joke, so he pushed Jin Fengju a few times while whispering in his ear He yelled: "Wake up, my lord, the sun is shining on my butt."
Jin Fengju finally opened his eyes in a daze, and when he saw it was Qiu Ning, he grinned, revealing his neat white teeth.
"Let me sleep a little longer, Qiu Ning," he closed his eyes, thought about it and couldn't help but laugh: "If the lady is lonely and wants your husband to help relieve her stress, she has to wait until I am full of sleep. You have to work hard, otherwise it would have been over early, and Qiu Ning would have thought that I wouldn’t be able to do it at my age.”
Fu Qiuning's face turned red, and he pinched Jin Fengju's shoulder angrily, and said angrily: "If you are still saying these dirty words at this time, it doesn't matter if you don't get up. It will be too late to go to court by then, but Don’t rely on me.”
The word "Shang Dynasty" was like a spell. Jin Fengju suddenly opened his eyes and stared at the roof for a long time, his expression as if he had been slapped.
"Going to court? Yes, I'm going to go to court today." He muttered, then sat up suddenly and urged: "Hurry, hurry, hurry, where are my clothes? Oh my God, I need to go to court today." It’s time to go to court, and I haven’t had enough rest at home.”
Seeing how anxious he was, Fu Qiuning couldn't help but laugh. She threw all the clothes on the table to him and said leisurely: "If you say this in front of the emperor, I probably won't have to go to court and just be a wealthy and idle man." good."
While Jin Fengju was throwing clothes on his body, he curled his lips and said, "If that's really the case, that would be great. What's wrong with being a rich and idle man? But I can't. If I really say this to the emperor, I'm afraid he will be killed. I've been sent to the frontier to guard the city. It's easy to talk about other things. How can I bear not being able to see you?"
"Oops, the pants are inside out. You should just concentrate on getting dressed, and you still have the time to say such things." Fu Qiuning took the pants from Jin Fengju's hand, turned them over and handed them to him.
After a lot of fuss, I finally got dressed and dressed, so I hurriedly ate two rice dumplings, drank a bowl of porridge, and ate a few fried dough sticks with soy milk. Fu Qiuning on the side was stunned, and he couldn't help but look at Jinfeng Li. Looking up at the well-proportioned figure, I thought to myself, is there any reason for this? You eat so much and still maintain such a good figure. Could it be that you have the legendary "no matter how much you eat, you don't get fat" physique? No way, the dignified little Marquis actually has an absorption disorder? This is incredible.
While he was thinking wildly, Jin Fengju had already finished breakfast, so Fu Qiuning helped him change into his official uniform and put on his official hat. These were originally kept in Qingwan Pavilion. Yesterday, Jin Fengju asked Jin Ming to take them in person and put them in Fengya Building. This move Some facts have been shown. However, the strange thing is that Jiang Wanying was not dissatisfied because of this incident. She did not cry or make trouble, fully demonstrating the demeanor and demeanor of a matron that was inconsistent with her usual behavior. Even Jin Ming was a little surprised, secretly wondering when did the Second Mistress become so generous
Jin Fengju didn't think much about it. After getting dressed, he went out. The sedan chair and the bearer were already waiting outside the gate. It was indeed late, so he walked in a hurry and walked a little hastily.
Unexpectedly, as soon as he left the gate of Fengya Building, he saw the two girls from the Feng family and Aunt Mei walking this way. Although he was anxious, out of politeness, Jin Fengju had to stop and asked with a smile: " Why did my aunt and the two girls come here so early?"
Feng Zhenzhen and Feng Mingzhu looked at him and lowered their heads together. The beauty lowered her eyes with all kinds of amorous feelings. Jin Fengju didn't pay attention at all. He was just a little surprised in his heart and secretly thought that it was not even nine o'clock. What were they doing here so early? If it were normal, Qiu Ning and I wouldn't have gotten up yet.
Aunt Mei smiled and said: "It's nothing. I went to bed early yesterday and had nothing to do when I woke up. So I walked with our girl in the garden. I saw smoke curling up in the small kitchen from a distance. I remembered what the girl said yesterday about Xiao Hou. I have to go to court today, so I thought grandma would wake up at this time, so I came over to sit."
Jin Fengju nodded and said: "So that's it. Qiu Ning is indeed here. Auntie and the two girls, please go in. I have to go to court, so I won't stay any longer."
"Yes, the young marquis has many things to do, but it is more important to be busy with business. Now the emperor personally comes to the palace to let you come to court. This is a great favor, which has never happened before. It shows how high the status of the young marquis is in the eyes of the emperor. It’s very important.”
Aunt Mei smiled with crooked eyebrows and praised Jin Fengju a few times before letting him go. While looking back at Feng Zhenzhu and Feng Mingzhu, she sighed and said: "Think about it, Second Grandma Ning is really lucky. It is impossible to find a husband like Xiao Hou Ye in the whole world, but he is actually Let her go."
Feng Zhenzhu and Feng Mingzhu couldn't help but blush slightly and remained silent. Aunt Mei had some idea in her mind.
To be fair, she knew that it made no sense for her and the three girls to live in the Duke of Jingguo's residence. The servants didn't say anything to his face, and they didn't know how to talk about it behind his back. But if one of the girls becomes the young marquis's aunt or concubine, that's a different story.
Thinking of this, I couldn't help but look at Sister Feng Mingzhu and Feng Zhenzhu again, secretly thinking that with our girl's stunning appearance, the young Marquis might not be unmoved. It's just that Second Grandma Ning, on the surface, seems kind and kind, but she has an agenda in her heart. I'm afraid this will be difficult.
After thinking about it again, I realized that this was nothing. It was normal for a man like Jin Fengju to have three wives and four concubines. Although Fu Qiuning has Jin Zangfeng and Jin Zangjiao under her knees, they are not her biological children. She is a wife with nothing to do. Her power to make decisions in this family is limited. Otherwise, the housekeeping power would still be in Jiang Wanying's hands. .
Thinking of this, the burden in her heart was relieved a little. She didn't feel that this was betraying Fu Qiuning, but that she was doing him a favor. Anyway, a man like the young Marquis will have to take concubines sooner or later. If he really wants the Feng sisters, they will be grateful for Fu Qiuning's kindness in protecting her and will definitely not go against her. Wouldn't this be better than other women entering the house? So Aunt Mei and the Feng sisters, who had secretly made up their minds, didn't think there was anything wrong with this at all.
Arriving at Fengya Building, Fu Qiuning was also a little surprised. He didn't expect that there would be guests who came to visit so early. He hurriedly arranged for them to sit down and asked Yu Jie to wake up Jin Zangfeng and his sister. After a while, the two brothers and sisters and Jin Zhuan Luhua arrived. Brothers and sisters Jin Zhenyi and Jin Xiunan also came over. So the maids served breakfast, and Qiu Ning invited Aunt Mei and the Feng sisters to the table. They all laughed and said they had eaten.
Fu Qiuning naturally knew that they had not eaten. There was a small kitchen in this garden after Jin Yanfang and others lived there. It was absolutely impossible to deliver meals to various courtyards at this time. The reason for his Fengya Building was because Jin Fengju was going to court, and the situation was special. , and the kitchen was specially arranged, otherwise there would be no such special treatment.
At that moment, they invited Aunt Mei and others to the table, and the three of them stopped being polite. Fu Qiuning's affinity made people feel close to her easily, and they felt that they felt like sisters to her. If they were polite, it would be as if they were taking the initiative to distance themselves and guard against others. of.
After breakfast, Fu Qiuning watched Jin Zangfeng and Jin Zhenyi lead their sisters to school. She walked to the gate in person and warned: "Be careful on the road, don't just play crazy, watch the road, don't trip on stones. Brother Yi You calm down your hot temper and put some thought into your textbooks so that you don't fail to answer Mr.'s questions. This is the second best thing. Don't be blind again when your father takes the test."
Jin Zhenyi pouted, this woman nags her every morning, she is nagging her even more than his own mother. I really don't know how Jin Zangfeng and Jin Zangjiao can tolerate her. But there was a strange feeling in his heart: In his heart, only his mother could do such a thing, and even if Fu Qiuning did it, he would just show it off to others. But she did it so naturally. Many times there was no one else around, and she still did it. It was as if she really cared about her brother and sister in her heart, instead of just giving the impression of a virtuous and virtuous stepmother. .
This feeling makes Jin Zhenyi feel uncomfortable, but sometimes it feels cozy. The six-year-old boy was completely confused by the conflict in his heart. So he could only act more and more disdainful on the surface, lest others see that he was even remotely close to the stepmother who had harmed his mother.
After the children left side by side, Aunt Mei smiled at Fu Qiuning and said, "Although Aunt Xu brought it upon herself, now that she has gone to Zhuangzi, it is the result she deserves. I only say that I feel sorry for her two children, although there are also Wrong, they are all at an innocent age, what do they know? They are just following the instructions taught by adults. But after their mother is gone, they still don’t know what they will be like in the future. Who knows that it is the young marquis who has the intention to take them I gave it to you. I told my girl earlier that I was worried that it would be difficult to take care of the children who came here, but just now I saw that the second mistress was very considerate to them. Brother Yi, I often heard from my servants that he was like a little bully. , I see that he is quite obedient to you. Amitabha, it’s really the blessing of two children to be in grandma’s courtyard.”
