Little did the children know that their unscrupulous father was snickering in his heart right now. Because he had indeed done something wrong, none of them dared to say a word. Only Jin Zhenyi's chest puffed up at this time. This fool was usually scolded the most by Jin Fengju, and his face was already much thicker. What's more, looking at it today, his brothers and sisters were all scolded by him. In comparison, he was not The most unlucky one, so he became proud.
Jin Fengju was not really angry. He was suppressing the joy and pride in his heart at this time. Seeing that his children were respectful and did not dare to speak, he relaxed his expression, sat down on his seat and said with a smile: "Okay, I know, you guys are going to do it today." It's just because you care about your mother that you don't have the intention to study. It doesn't matter. Daddy is here to answer your questions. Once you understand everything, just put your mind at ease and go to school honestly tomorrow. Do you hear me? ?”
If Fu Qiuning were here at this time, he would definitely shout that this guy is really shameless. He was obviously kicked out by Qiu Ning, but he had the nerve to put this consideration on himself and act like a loving father. It's just that the children didn't know this after all, and they couldn't thank their father enough for respecting him, so they rushed forward and started asking questions.
"Dad, did you go to the palace to sing an opera today? What did you sing?"
"Dad, do the Queen Mother and the Emperor really want to confer a royal decree on my mother? Didn't the two mothers have royal decrees before? If my mother gets a royal decree again, will the emperor be annoyed in the future and withdraw it again?"
"Dad, will mother not be able to be at home from tomorrow? What should we do? Who will make the decision in Fengya Building? Aunt Huo came over yesterday."
"Dad, what kind of play is this? Can you sing a few lines? Please sing it so that my sister and I can listen too. My aunt will definitely not have time, and my brother and sister won't sing."
Jin Fengju didn't expect that his children were like little sparrows. By the time he finished answering all the questions, half an hour had passed. The sweat on his body was soaked through his clothes. Looking at the children, there was also sweat on their foreheads, but their eyes were full of sweat. They were all shiny, obviously very excited, and he was very happy in his heart, but he stood up and said: "Okay, okay, it's been so long, you don't mind the heat, Yujie, please take them down to have a rest. , I have to get up early to go to clan school tomorrow."
After he finished shouting, he saw several maids walking in, but there was no Yujie, and there were two others whom he didn't recognize. They all saluted Yingying. He patted his forehead and remembered that his wife had just chosen a maid for Jin Zangfeng and Jin Zangjiao. So he took a closer look and asked calmly: "Are you Feng'er Jiaoer's eldest girl? What are your names?"
"My maid Qiu Yan (slave maid Lian Ye) has met the young Marquis." The two maids said another blessing, Lian Ye was the eldest maid who served Jin Zangfeng, and Qiu Yan served Jin Zangjiao. Jin Fengju saw that although their appearance was ordinary, they were steady and peaceful, and he was very satisfied. He nodded and said, "Yes, serve me with your heart. If you serve the young master and the girl well, your grandma will not treat you badly."
Several maids hurriedly thanked them, and Jin Feng raised his eyes and watched them go with their children. Thinking of the scene where the children were under Cheng Huan's knees just now, she felt very happy, but then she thought of the two siblings Jin Zhenxuan and Jin Xiuzhen, and thought that she had already I haven't been to Qingwan Pavilion in some days, so I should take the time to go and have a look. The two children follow their mother, who is the most sensitive and caring, and Xiu Ruxiufen. People in this big house are used to looking down on others and praising others. It is necessary to carefully select a few things to give to the children, lest some snobs think that the girls have lost their power and dare to look down on the master.
Thinking of this, I couldn't help stroking my forehead in distress, thinking that the sound of wind and rain and the sound of reading could be heard all over my ears. I am worried about national affairs, family affairs, and everything in the world. Alas, even dividing a person into eight parts is not enough. Use it. If I had known this would happen, I shouldn't have listened to my parents and kept these concubines. What else can I do now except add trouble
However, it was too late to regret it at this time. I could only think about trying my best to deal with it. While thinking about it, I returned to the bedroom. From a distance, I saw a figure reflected in the candlelight on the window, dancing gracefully, but it didn't look like that. Jin Fengju understood the common singing and dancing. This was Fu Qiuning singing, but these steps and gestures were so beautiful that it made people intoxicated just by looking at them. I really don’t know how intoxicating it would be if paired with music and singing.
Because he watched silently for a while, he usually only listened to Fu Qiuning's a cappella singing, but he had never seen her with such a figure, so he watched with great interest. When he saw the other party stopped dancing, he entered the door, and only heard the sound coming from inside. A familiar voice sang: "Go forward with sorrow and tears..."
"Eh? What kind of joke is this? I've never heard you sing it before." Jin Fengju raised his eyebrows in surprise. Fu Qiuning heard his voice and turned around and said, "Have the children all gone to bed?" Jin Fengju said to go to bed. Then she said: "I usually just pick some passages to sing to you. How can I sing the entire opera? Do you know how many excerpts there are in a play? Isn't it normal that you haven't heard it before? Isn't it surprising?" After saying that, he couldn't help but stretch, yawned and said, "It's almost done at last. I have to go to the palace tomorrow, and I have to go to court, so why not go to bed early."
Jin Fengju stepped forward and hugged Qiu Ning, put his chin on her face, and said sadly: "I shot myself in the foot. If I hadn't talked so much, you wouldn't have been busy right now." In this way, even gentleness cannot be achieved.”
Fu Qiuning smiled and said, "Do you know now? You have to love your country and your family at the same time. How can you have the best of both worlds? Well, don't wait and go to sleep. I'm sleepy now."
Jin Fengju chuckled and said, "If I said this normally, you would ask me to go to another room. Why don't you say it now?" He was joking, but when he saw Fu Qiuning's face cool down, he remembered his wife. She is different from other women. If it were someone else, even Jiang Wanying, if she said to go to another room, it would just be a few sour and half-joking remarks. Qiu Ning was the only one who stopped saying these words after she became a real couple with him.
Because she remembered the heartfelt words she had said to herself before: "Jealousy is one of the seven reasons. However, if you really love someone, how can you not be jealous? It's like if I am thinking about other men at this time, besides you... In addition to feeling embarrassed and angry, don't you feel sour in your heart? I could push you away before, because I didn't have you in my heart. Once I have you, how can I push you out? You said I am not virtuous. It doesn’t matter, you call me Hedong Lion, anyway, I feel uncomfortable when you go to someone else’s place, and I won’t push you over on your own initiative. I am not a saint, so philanthropic. But those young women will follow you. It is indeed cruel to make people stay widowed from now on, not to mention your flesh and blood. So from now on when you go to other people's houses, you just don't have to tell me. As the saying goes, it is rare to be confused. If there are more things in this world, it would be better to be confused. You will be much happier if you know everything in your heart." Thinking of these words, I regretted my gaffe even more. At that moment, he was busy stacking up thousands of kinds of soft intestines to comfort and please Qiu Ning.
Fu Qiuning knew that it was common for men in this era to have three wives and four concubines. A woman as powerful as Jin Yanqiu still had the power in her hands. In the end, she still had to bow her head to the Queen Mother to admit her mistake, and she had to restrain her sharpness and swallow her anger. This shows the status of a woman. How low. For Jin Fengju to be able to do this to him, it was really because of the rarest depth of love that he could tolerate such indulgence. But I still felt a little awkward in my heart, but I didn't show it on my face. I just said softly: "You don't have to be like this. Brother Xuan and Miss Er have indeed not seen you for a while, so I happened to take this time to coax them." , otherwise you, as a father, will be known as partial."
Jin Fengju felt relieved after hearing what she said. He actually knew that he didn't have to be so accommodating and indulging Fu Qiuning, but for some reason, he just wanted to pamper and love this woman in his heart. As long as it wasn't something harmful to nature, he was eager to let her do whatever he wanted. Seeing her jealous and jealous, I felt only happy, thinking it was because she was worried about him. Seeing that she was angry and indifferent, I felt a little scared. If she couldn't be coaxed back, she wouldn't even be able to eat. Now I understand why some men are afraid of their wives. If it is fear, it is better to say that they love them deeply. There are countless people who love deeply without any regrets. Isn’t this the case for me
Because both husband and wife sighed silently in their hearts for a while, then they turned off the lights and had a rest, spending the night without talking or mentioning.
Early in the morning of the next day, Fu Qiuning got up early and sent Jin Feng to the court. He was also busy washing and changing clothes. At the same time, he watched Jin Zangfeng, Jin Zhenyi, brother and sister eating, and told them: "I'm afraid today You can't stay at home even for a day. You should be good in family studies and don't cause trouble, especially brother Yi. I was chatting with your father last night and he said that your poetry has improved a lot. Don't cause trouble again. The disaster has completely wiped out this good impression. Xiu Nan is a peaceful person, so he helps me keep an eye on your brother when he has time."
After saying that, she saw Yu Jie coming in, and asked, "Have you brought the salty snacks I mentioned to the brothers and sisters today? It's hot today, and only food is provided in the school. Some people sweat a lot, so it's a little salty." Drinking snacks and water is good for your health." This is a truth that everyone knows in modern times, but naturally it cannot be said in ancient times, so Fu Qiuning could only find a seemingly nonsense reason.
After hearing that Yu Jie said that everything was done, she took the box and looked at it. When she saw that each person contained an egg and two vegetable rolls, she nodded with satisfaction. She also ate here and watched the boys holding them. After taking the food box and several children, she took Yujie and Jian Feng and hurried to Kangshouyuan, where she saw Mrs. Jin and Mrs. Jiang had also packed up and were waiting for her together.
