While thinking about it, he came to Jiang's courtyard and saw three aunts and a concubine in the house. Among these people, only the concubine has never had any children, but Jin Fengju has not sold her. He didn't add any more new people to his house. He was actually very indifferent to love matters. It was just that he was forced to marry Fu Qiuning that day, so the Jinxiang Hou Mansion accepted so many people for him. He was helpless and angry. A small counterattack.

Seeing him coming, Mrs. Jiang, who was now the mother of two children, ordered the maids to serve the food. She came up to help him take off his Qingluo cloak and said with a clear smile: "What do you mean? I thought you were Prince Rong’s Mansion even stayed with you for dinner. The same goes for your prince. He just came back from Suzhou and before your buttocks got hot at home, he called you over. He didn’t know what to say, so he left lunch behind. Now, Even if you stay so late, I won’t let anyone bring you a message back.”

Jin Fengju smiled and said: "It turns out there are some things to discuss. I'm worried about you." After saying that, the three aunts and the concubine also hurriedly came up to say hello and talk. Jin Fengju suddenly saw several children running from outside the house, holding paper balls in their hands. When they saw him coming back, they all rushed towards him with a cry of joy, calling for daddy, and then started complaining in various directions. One said that his brother had painted They beat him with a turtle and ball of paper, and one said his brother drew a short-tailed magpie on himself. Several girls were also chirping and teasing them.

Jin Fengju's expression turned pale, and he couldn't help but think of the two children in Wanfengxuan. He sat down in the chair and asked, "You guys are having a lot of fun. Where are the big characters I asked you to write before I left? Also, these days What books did you memorize? Tell me."

As soon as this was mentioned, the two boys and four girls immediately fell silent. They all looked at their father furtively, speechless.

When Aunt Xu saw that several children were indifferent, she hurriedly stepped forward and said, "Same, sir. I asked them about their homework as soon as they came back. How old are they? It's time for fun. What's more? The old lady and my wife both said that now that the end of winter has just passed, in order to prevent the children from getting angry from studying every day and causing some problems, they said that they should not be allowed to go to school until the weather is warmer."

Jiang Wanying also stepped forward to intercede for the children. The children were like human beings and immediately rolled on him. They rubbed him and said all kinds of nice things. Jin Fengju couldn't help but laugh and shook his head. Said: "You, you are all energetic just by messing with me, but when it comes to studying, you are nothing. These silks and satins and those precious pens, inks, papers and inkstones are really wasted by you."

As soon as the words came out, Jiang Wanying was unconvinced and sneered: "What's wrong with you? You just said these things when you came back from the palace. I don't believe it anymore. Could it be that all the young masters and ladies in the palace are obedient and sensible? Holding the sage’s book every day without letting go? I’m getting such praise from you.”

Jin Fengju smiled and said, "Don't talk to me yet. Except for Xiaosi, most of the children in my brother-in-law's house are indeed fun-loving, just like the few in our family. However, there are naturally better people than you in this world." The kids are outstanding.”

Aunt Huo stepped forward and said with a smile: "I know that I am talking about the children from poor families, but who made them suffer bad fate? If they were born in such a family, if they don't study hard, will there be a way out in the future? How are our children? Compared with those poor people? With grandfathers and fathers like Mr. Hou, and his second grandfather and uncle who are also officials in the court, do they still have to worry about it in the future? "

After she finished speaking, she saw Jin Fengju's expression darken, and she couldn't help but feel her heart skip a beat. She quickly said a blessing and said with a smile: "I am just stupid in my mind. Please don't blame me for my clumsy mouth and stupid cheeks..."

"I don't blame you." Before he could finish, he was lightly interrupted by Jin Fengju, who said calmly: "If you, who are so eloquent, turn out to be clumsy, what will others do?" After speaking, he stood up and said: "I'm a little hungry, let's eat."

Huo's face turned red when she suddenly heard Jiang Wanying smile and say, "Look at how happy my sister is. I really saw my father praising you for your eloquence today, right?" After saying that, she covered her mouth and left with a smile.

Huo was ashamed and hateful. She glanced at Jiang Wanying and said coldly: "Although I bear the brunt, I'm afraid that as the mistress of the house, my sister is also to blame. Today's master's intention is clearly revealed. I feel Our children are not as good as others."

After saying a word, Mrs. Jiang stopped and frowned, but she heard Mrs. Xu laughing at the side: "It's true that the head of the house is true, but the mistress may not be so. The title of the head wife has not yet fallen to the breast. Come on, sister, please be careful with what you say. If you anger grandma, we two aunts will be unable to eat and walk around."

Jiang Wanying's hands immediately clenched into fists. She felt so much hatred in her heart that she gritted her teeth and secretly said: "I've been talking about this every time for so many years. Okay, just wait. She's such a useless waste and let her occupy five The title of Nian's wife is enough. Now that Prince Hong's palace has restrained itself a lot, it's time to divorce her, right? Thinking of this, I couldn't help but feel a little proud again.

Aunt Cui and the concubine Yue Lan were the most honest people and would never dare to interrupt in such a situation. Suddenly they heard Jin Fengju shouting at the dinner table: "What are you muttering about there? Why don't you come over?" They stopped bickering. , one by one rushed over with smiles like flowers.

On a large table, only Jin Fengju, Jiang Wanying and their children were sitting together. The three aunts and concubines could not serve at the table at this time and could only wait on the side without making the slightest sound.

Not only that Jin Fengju and his wives and concubines were dining here, but in the Wanfengxuan, the atmosphere immediately became joyful after Jin Fengju left.

Zang Feng and Zang Jiao held jade pendants in their hands and chased each other happily. After a while, they stopped and exchanged looks at each other. For a while, laughter and laughter could not be heard.

Yuniang came out, wiping her tears and said: "The nature of flesh and blood cannot be eradicated. Grandma, how cruel did the young marquis look in the past? She hasn't shown her face for several years, but she gave the young master and the girl something. Just make them happy like this.”

Fu Qiuning said with a smile: "At least his conscience has not been eaten by the dog. He knows how to give the child a gift as a thought, and it is not in vain for the child to call him daddy." After saying this, he saw two children holding their hands high in front of the candlelight. When I picked up the jade pendant, I couldn't help being startled. I hurriedly stepped forward and took it off, saying: "Two little ancestors, this thing is very precious. You are so reckless, be careful not to break it." As he said that, he took off the jade pendant. He gave it to Yu Niang and said, "Find some red threads to tie them up and put them around their necks."

Zang Feng blinked and whispered: "Mother, since it is so valuable, why not sell it? Can we make a lot of money?"

"Are you obsessed with money? This was given by your father. Even if he doesn't come in the future, it will only be a thought. Why do you want to sell it? You are really willing to give it up." Fu Qiuning shook his head angrily and amusedly. But Zang Feng lowered his head and said with red eyes: "If dad doesn't come and doesn't like us, what's the use of keeping him and thinking about us? It's better to sell it, so my mother and Yu Niang Yujie can embroider less flowers and have a good time. Rest your eyes." After he said that, Zangjiao echoed from the side: "Yes, yes, mother, you have to light that oil lamp to embroider every night, your eyes will be exhausted." (To be continued)
