Speaking of Fu Qiuning, Jin Fengju's sudden move made him confused. He originally felt sleepy, but now he didn't even take a nap. He called Yuniang Yujie and Jian Feng and said, "What's going on today, little girl?" Most of us don’t know, only the three of you know. For the sake of the safety and stability of our Fengya Building, not a word of this matter is allowed to be leaked. Even if some people suspect that they are tempted in person or covertly, they must be concealed from me. Do you understand? ?”
The three of them also knew that this matter was important, so they all nodded and made it clear. Fu Qiuning sighed. He had a lot to say to these confidants, but he didn't know what to say. The room fell silent for a moment. Yu Jie then stood up and said: "The small kitchen at the back has made new snacks today. I'll go and see if it's OK and pick up two plates for grandma." After saying that, he was about to go out when he saw the little girl Deng Hua running over and said crisply. : "Grandma, grandma, there is someone outside who says she is grandma's girl. She came here specially to see grandma. Grandma, please go out and pick her up."
"younger sister?"
Fu Qiuning looked at the little maid in surprise, then looked at Yu Jie and Yu Niang, wondering: "When did I have a sister? Who is here now? Do you two know?"
After saying this, several maids laughed, and Yu Niang shook her head and said: "Why did grandma ask this slave? How do we know grandma's relatives? Yu Jie is probably better, but I have been with grandma for so many years. I’ve never heard of grandma’s relatives coming to visit you, but occasionally there are people from the palace who come to visit you.”
Fu Qiuning wondered, were the people coming from the palace just to visit? He was here to act in the blockbuster movie "The Spy Who Lives in the House", so she stood up and said, "That's it, no matter who it is, let's take it out and have a look." As she said that, a flash of light flashed through her mind, as if something was wrong. The child passed by in front of my eyes, but I didn't catch it.
When they came out of Fengya Building, they saw a small sedan being carried in the courtyard. Xia Yue, the maid beside Jiang Wanying, was standing outside the sedan. Seeing her coming out, she stepped forward and said with a smile: "This is Prince Lie's aunt, she's here today." Our second grandma received her at our house, saying she wanted to see grandma, so she sent her servant to send her over."
As he spoke, the curtain of the sedan chair with red flowers was lifted, and then a beautiful young woman walked out. As soon as she saw Fu Qiuning, she stepped forward with a happy face and said a blessing. Qiu Ning quickly helped her up, and suddenly realized in her heart, I thought to myself, yes, Jin Fengju once mentioned to me before that my second uncle's legitimate daughter married Prince Lie as his concubine. Now it seems that this sister has been promoted from concubine to aunt. "
Yin also cheered up, greeted Fu Qiulan with a smile, and welcomed her into the house. Xia Yue resigned and the two sisters sat down in the side hall. Jian Feng personally served tea. Fu Qiuning He said, "When my sister came out of the cabinet, I happened to have something going on in my house, so I didn't have time to go back to get married. I'm sorry, my sister is thinking about me, so she came here to visit me today. This is really thoughtful."
Although Fu Qiulan was stunningly beautiful, she seemed to have a calm temper. Hearing this, she chuckled softly and said, "Sister, like me, can't help it. If you say that I was naive before, I didn't know these twists and turns in my heart." Circling around, what else don’t you know now? I have nothing to do and often miss my sister. Thinking about it, you must have had a much harder time than me in the past few years. It’s a pity that my sister understood this truth too late, otherwise she should have come here earlier. Look at my sister. It is said that it is the most difficult thing to offer help in times of need, but now that my sister has been favored by the young Marquis, my talk about the deep love between sisters at this time seems to be the icing on the cake. In fact, whether it is providing help in times of need or the icing on the cake, we sisters are just like each other. That’s all.”
What she said made Fu Qiuning very surprised, but he looked closely at the sister's face and couldn't tell any clues, because although he was muttering in his heart, he smiled on his face: "Why did my sister say this? I heard it before Our father said that my sister was married as a concubine, but now she is an aunt, which is a good thing, so why are you talking about sharing the same fate?"
Fu Qiulan smiled slightly and murmured: "Aunt? What's the difference with a concubine? To the prince, she is just a novelty that can be thrown away in a few days. Fortunately, I am so confident that I am pregnant with a child. , otherwise there will be so many beauties in the palace, how can it be my turn to be the aunt?"
Fu Qiuning's face immediately showed joy, and he stood up and said: "So my sister is actually pregnant? This is a great joy. If I can give birth to a Lin'er for Prince Lie, are you afraid that I won't be able to gather the favor of three thousand people?" After finishing speaking, He went up to take a closer look at Fu Qiulan's waist, and asked her how many months old she was. She heard that it was only more than two months old, so he hurriedly asked her to take good care of herself.
The two sisters talked for a while. Seeing that the sun was setting, a woman walked into the outside and said, "My aunt has been out for a long time. I'm afraid that the prince will miss her, so it's better to go back to the palace as soon as possible." After saying that, she saw Fu Qiulan. He stood up, with a hint of sadness on his face, and said softly: "Sister, I'm going back now. When I have some free time another day, I'll come see my sister. If I have time, I hope to go to that mansion too." Look at me, you know I have a lively personality, but now I am in a claustrophobic boudoir, I am really lonely."
Fu Qiuning hurriedly agreed and sent him straight out the door. After watching the sedan go, he turned around. But I heard Yu Jie say in confusion: "Grandma, I did meet this sixth girl when I was in the palace, but my relationship with grandma doesn't seem to be very deep. What does it mean to come here suddenly now?"
Fu Qiuning smiled and said: "Staying the same in response to all changes, understand? It doesn't matter what she means, as long as we don't have any interest in it, we don't want to scheme against her, so we won't let her scheme against her." After saying that, he returned to the bedroom and went to The couch tilted, he stretched and said, "Okay, meeting this guest has made me feel sleepy again. It's still a while before the kids get out of school, so let me go first. Wai Yi Wai."
As soon as he finished speaking, he heard another little maid outside the door saying, "Grandma, Aunt Huo is here."
"Aunt Huo?"
Fu Qiuning sat up all of a sudden. He glanced at Yu Jie in confusion first, and then said angrily: "What's going on today? God just doesn't want me to rest. Yu Jie, go check out the almanac later." Let’s see if there’s something wrong with being at home. It’s a weird day where we have to see guests one after another at home. This is really strange.”
Yujie couldn't help but wanted to laugh, but he saw that his grandma was getting annoyed, so he didn't dare to laugh. He hurriedly accompanied Qiu Ning to the side hall, where he saw Aunt Huo sitting there drinking tea. Qiu Ning came out. Then he stood up and blessed himself, and said with a smile: "I don't have any time on weekdays. I have long wanted to come and see grandma, but things have happened one after another, and I can't find any free time. Our gentle lady Second grandma, what doesn’t grandma know? As long as she meets her and doesn’t follow my instructions, her talents will not be highlighted. I finally woke up this morning and felt a little headache. Come here when you have some time."
Fu Qiuning smiled slightly, sat down on the main seat, and said calmly: "Since my sister has a headache, she should rest in the room. She came to me, and then she got wind again. You know, it was my sister who ran here on her own. Those who don’t know, think that I ignored my sister’s illness and ordered you to do something. By then, wouldn’t I be even more vicious than Sister Wan?”
Aunt Huo was suffocated, and then she said with a smile: "What did grandma say? No one will think like this anymore. You moved to Fengya Building from you. Hey, don't talk about it now, let's talk about the time when you were in Wanfengxuan , is there anyone in this house who can find fault with you? Grandma Wan had two troubles, how did it end? I feel like a mirror in my heart, this is not only because I dote on grandma, but also because Acting with reason all over the world, grandma walks and sits upright, what are you afraid of?"
As he spoke, he reached out and took a box from the maid's hand, and said with a smile: "These are the snacks sent by my parents' family yesterday. They said they hired a Western snack chef. I actually ate them with ours." The dim sum is different, it’s not that it’s better than our dim sum, it just doesn’t have the same flavor. I gave two boxes to the old lady in the afternoon, and they all said they liked it after eating it.”
Although Aunt Huo's status is not high, because her mother's family is a third-grade imperial official, she can often go to Kangshouyuan, Mrs. Jiang and other places, and she is not as cautious and low-status as other rich noble families.
After hearing her words, Fu Qiuning felt as if he had been struck by thunder, and looked at the box in surprise.
This Western snack is indeed a novelty. Aunt Huo's father was in charge of the errands of paying tribute to foreigners in the ceremonial department, so he had many contacts with this area, so with such a master, after making the snack, he was busy sending people away. Sent to my daughter, hoping that she can secure her position in the Duke's mansion and not be sent to Zhuangzi like Aunt Xu. Because when it was delivered to the room of the old lady, Mrs. Jiang and Jiang Wanying, everyone felt it was strange and agreed to eat it, so she didn't care when she saw Fu Qiuning surprised. It's just that Second Grandma Ning's expression of being struck by lightning is really puzzling.
"Grandma, grandma?"
