The next day Jin Fengju went to Mrs. Jin to report her plans to go to Zhuangzi. Seeing that her grandson was so excited, Old Mrs. Jin wouldn't stop her. She just said that everyone who wanted to go could follow him, but she was old and didn't want to move. Mrs. Jiang is also indifferent and naturally doesn't like to join in the fun. Let the little maids follow him to relax. Mrs. Fang and Mr. He also refused to go. In the end, only Jin Fengju took Fu Qiuning, Jiang Wanying, Aunt Huo, Aunt Cui and Yue Lan, as well as more than twenty maids and servants, large and small.
Jiang Wanying knew the real purpose of this trip, because when no one was paying attention, she came to Fu Qiuning and sneered: "Sister is really a virtuous and kind person. Aunt Xu treats you like this, but you are kind. My sister doesn't believe you. Such magnanimity. In today's world, hypocrites are indeed the most popular. Seeing my sister pretending to be a virtuous person has captured my heart. Apart from my sister, who else does he remember now? "
Fu Qiuning looked at Jiang Wanying and looked at her seriously without saying a word. Just when Jiang Wanying made her stare uncomfortably, she smiled softly and said leisurely: "I don't blame you for saying such things, sister. Everyone in this world I am willing to judge others by myself. For example, if I would never do something, I would feel that others would not do it either. If I cannot be sincere, I would feel that others must have ulterior motives, or be hypocritical or Inviting favors or having no choice but to do so. But I don’t know that the dragon gave birth to nine sons, but the nine sons are different. How can there be so many people in the world with the same thoughts? Therefore, there has always been loyalty, traitor, good and evil. It doesn’t matter whether I am hypocritical or sincere. It's up to you to judge. There's just one thing. If you think this can invite favors, why don't you pretend to be virtuous and virtuous? With my sister's skill and intelligence, she must be much more like me than I can pretend to be." After saying this, he walked away with a smile. , but completely ignored Jiang Wanying, who was turning livid with anger.
Not to mention that Jiang Wanying was secretly gritting her teeth and angry here, just saying that Jin Fengju went to arrange the things to go to Zhuangzi, while Fu Qiuning went back to Fengya Building to watch people packing and eating food. Since there was no holiday in school today, she was afraid of Jin Zhenyi Jin. Zang Feng and others were distracted, so they did not tell them in advance. After everything was sorted out, Fu Qiuning went to the original Xiangyang Marquis Mansion and now the Jin Mansion.
As soon as I entered the garden, I heard the sound of silk and bamboo, accompanied by the beautiful singing. When I arrived at the place where I usually practice opera, I saw all the beauties with graceful figures. They were like butterflies wearing flowers on the stage, with their sleeves flying. , even if it is just an opera, the dance is very graceful. Thinking that these were all based on his oral teaching, Fu Qiuning felt a sense of pride and pride in his heart.
"Ah, why is Madam here?"
A few sharp-eyed singers and dancers spotted her, so everyone stopped rehearsing and gathered around her. After spending so many days together, they have figured out the temperament of this distinguished master. Although his teachings are strict, his temperament is very approachable, far unlike other noble ladies from noble houses who look at people with their nostrils upward.
Fu Qiuning saw Lin Sile coming over, so he smiled and said, "I'm going out tomorrow. If I come back early, I can come over the day after tomorrow. If I'm late, I won't be able to come until the afternoon of the day after tomorrow. You practice hard, When I come back, we will teach you the last part. After rehearsing it well, we can go to the palace and perform it for the Queen Mother."
Everyone hurriedly responded. Thinking that the distinguished Madam Marquis had been teaching her so hard these days, they couldn't help but feel grateful. They hurriedly said some blessings, saying that they were just going to leave early and come back early, and have a safe trip. Fu Qiuning couldn't laugh or cry, thinking what did he say? It made me feel like I was going to college elsewhere. When I remembered the scene from that distant previous life, I couldn't help but sigh softly in a trance.
After returning from Jin Mansion, I talked to Aunt Luo and Aunt Yu for a while. Because they usually never leave the house without leaving the door, Fu Qiuning specially brought the two of them with him this time. Aunt Yu was just fine. She had a peaceful nature and took things easy wherever she went. Only Aunt Luo, except for the time she came to Duke Jingguo's residence, had not been out for more than ten years, so she was naturally happy.
Suddenly, the maid reported that Aunt Huo was here. Fu Qiuning couldn't help but laugh with Aunt Luo: "This is really a first-rate snob. Now she probably thinks I'm embarrassed, so she sends things here every three days. But I don't know that she made a completely wrong calculation. I didn't want to She takes care of the family affairs. If she thinks that I can be the housekeeper in the future and get some benefits from me, then I will really regret it. It seems that I need to beat her, so as not to be called a wolf in the future. Collecting all these things but not being a housekeeper."
Aunt Luo and Aunt Yu both laughed, and Aunt Luo said: "Grandma, you don't have to think like this. Anyway, although Aunt Huo has been coming frequently these days and has given many things as gifts, grandma has not treated her badly. She even picked up the jewelry given by me. I gave her several things, so it’s even.”
Fu Qiuning shook his head and smiled: "That said, I'm afraid she has something in mind." So he got up and went out, and sure enough he saw Aunt Huo sitting on a chair, with an exquisite jewelry box on the table next to her. Fu Qiuning saw When she came out, she smiled and said: "This is some jewelry sent by my mother-in-law. I know that my sister is not short of this now. I don't know how many good ones the young marquis has given. But although it is not valuable, the styles are still novel. "Sister Qianer Meng thought highly of me and gave me such a pair of jade bracelets. I just felt uneasy and hoped that my sister would accept this piece of jewelry. The size is what I want."
Fu Qiuning had no choice but to let Yujie take it away. He thought to himself, this is another favor. How many things did Aunt Huo come to give? Isn't she tired of it? Because he said a few perfunctory words, and secretly reminded Aunt Huo that she would never take charge of the house in the future, as expected, Aunt Huo's face became a little uncomfortable, and after sitting for a while, she left.
Here Yujie and Jian Feng took the jewelry box into the back room and said with a smile: "What grandma just said just now, she almost told Aunt Huo that she hugged the wrong thigh. Look at her face, this slave is really laughing. My stomach hurts." As he said that, he opened the box and saw that there were indeed several novel styles of hairpin rings, etc., but the materials were just gold, silver and jade, which was not very unusual.
"Eh? Are these a pair of coral stone earrings?" Suddenly Yu Jie took out two small things. Fu Qiuning looked over and heard her laugh: "Don't tell me, these things are not very common, but it's a pity. Grandma is not happy with it. My father gave me a coral stone bead necklace a few days ago. Grandma likes it. However, after wearing it for less than three days, her hand became red and itchy. She is actually a little sensitive. Wow, Aunt Huo is like this. If you don’t care enough, your blindness will be in vain.”
Fu Qiuning smiled and said: "Although I can't use this coral stone thing, it's just right to give it to you. It happens that your master needs you for something. These earrings look very exquisite to me. Why don't you just wear them when you go to Zhuangzi this time." After saying that, Yujie curled her lips and said, "That's all, this slave is not lucky enough to enjoy Aunt Huo's good things. She looked back and saw it, and she didn't know why she was muttering to grandma. Why bother to inflict a curse on grandma from such a villain?" "After saying that, he still put it back in the box.
But Jian Feng took it out again and said with a smile: "Since grandma is sensitive to wearing it, don't put it in these jewelry. If some unknown little girl comes to clean grandma one day, grandma will only focus on memorizing the lyrics." If you forget, won't you suffer?" After saying this, Yu Jie also remembered the scene where Fu Qiuning often looked at the bronze mirror, but his eyes didn't pay attention to his own dress at all, only murmuring the lyrics of the opera, and he couldn't help but laugh. So he wrapped the coral stone earrings with a handkerchief. Seeing that the box that usually contained expensive satins and new clothes was open, he put it under the box of clothes and locked it again. While saying: "Actually, there is no need to be so careful. After all, grandma's own jewelry is still not used up, so hers will be used anywhere."
Just as he was talking, he heard footsteps outside, and then Jin Zangfeng and Jin Zangjiao barged in. They were followed by Jin Zhenyi and Jin Xiunan. Several children went to Fu Qiuning first, but Jin Zhenyi couldn't bear it anymore and stepped forward. Looking at Fu Qiuning with bright eyes, he said nervously: "My brother and I have just finished school. We heard people everywhere in the house saying that we are going to Zhuangzi for a day of fun tomorrow. Is this... is this true?"
Fu Qiuning smiled and said, "Of course it's true. Could it be that I colluded with the servants to deceive you?" After saying this, Jin Zhenyi jumped up, but immediately knelt down again and knocked on the ground "dong dong dong" After ringing his head three times, he said loudly and excitedly: "Auntie, you are indeed true to your word. I am convinced today. I will be obedient in the future and never say anything bad about you again. I..."
"Okay." Fu Qiuning and Jin Zangfeng and Jin Zangjiao couldn't help laughing. Fu Qiuning said, "My hands are full of wool. Jian Feng, please pull Brother Yi up quickly." Then he said to Jin Zhenyi: " You don’t need to thank me. This is all because you have performed well these days and made your father happy, so he agreed. I know you are happy in your heart, but when you go to the countryside tomorrow, you can’t be like a wild horse running loose. Everything is done in moderation, the days ahead will be long, as long as you are making a difference, are you still afraid that Aunt Xu will not be able to make a difference?"
Jin Zhenyi naturally listened to Qiu Ning at this time and nodded heavily. Fu Qiuning said: "Okay, Brother Yi and Miss San will go back and let Bai Lu and the others find all the clothes you will wear tomorrow. Feng'er and Jiao'er also went to try on clothes with Jian Feng and came to the main room for dinner in half an hour. , your father must be back soon. Yu Jie stays here, I have something to tell you."
