Seeing Feng Zhenzhu turning her head to look out the door, Jin Yanfang sneered: "Don't be angry with those little maids. I didn't allow them to pass the news. I came from my sister-in-law. I originally thought that either my sister-in-law was too suspicious or I was. She was too suspicious and misinterpreted the meaning of her words. But after listening to your words just now, I realized that it was not my sister-in-law who was seriously suspicious, but it was me who you thought was a fool."
"Sister-in-law."
Feng Zhenzhu and Feng Mingzhu were shocked. Jin Yanfang had always been kind, but they had never seen each other look so angry. They thought that even though their sisters were beautiful and beautiful, they could only live in this palace with the protection of this sister-in-law. , if they really offended their sister-in-law... The two sisters didn't dare to think about it anymore, and immediately fell to their knees on the ground, begging with tears in their eyes: "Sister-in-law, please don't be angry. Please keep what you said just a secret, otherwise we will be really shameless as human beings. .”
"So you guys know." Jin Yanfang's heart softened when she saw the two sisters crying so hard, but she didn't dare to show any clues on her face. She stretched out her hand and punched the table twice, and she scolded sternly. : "You are also ladies from a wealthy family, how come you have such confused thoughts now
Feng Mingzhu was calm, but Feng Pearl was smart. At this time, she knelt down and crawled a few steps to Jin Yanfang, crying: "Sister-in-law treats us well, we know, and the servants in this house do not neglect us in person. We know this. It's for the sake of my sister-in-law. The Duke of Jingguo's government attaches great importance to friendship, so we can jump out of the fire pit with my sister-in-law. But after all, my sister-in-law is the aunt in this house. She moved back because her husband's family suffered a disaster. It’s just a few chews on the tongue. But how can we compare with my sister-in-law? Even if everyone treats us well, we sisters are always careful to make excuses for fear of causing trouble to others and making people curse behind their backs. What does that mean? We are now Living here, even if my sister-in-law doesn't say it, doesn't she understand in her heart? Are we the ones who can live here with integrity? What's more, what else doesn't my sister-in-law understand about those playboys from wealthy families? It's my brother, then Huizi and his sister-in-law are still very much in love, but they also report to the brothel every now and then. So... So we sisters came up with a stupid idea. We have no other greed, we just thought that we could live here legitimately and have a good support. …”
She cried every time she said it, because Jin Yanfang came here today just to talk about this matter, so she had sent out all the servants, leaving only one of her confidants standing outside. She might not be able to hear clearly after thinking about it. When I saw the two sisters crying pitifully, and then I remembered that Han Qixue first stayed at the Feng family, and then stayed here again, I was even more panicked than the two sisters. She couldn't help but sigh and nodded: "I understand what you are thinking. It's just that you shouldn't put your thoughts on the second brother. Don't you have a blind eye? Don't you see that besides those serious things, he He only focuses on Sister-in-law Ning and those children? Where does he have time to look at you again? If you rely on your beauty and talent, you are completely wrong. When Sister Riwan married in, the two aunts had the same room as each other. A concubine, who is not a beauty? Even now, it is not the time to grow old. If the second brother likes beauties, can Sister-in-law Ning come from behind? It is even more ridiculous to be talented and knowledgeable. Sister-in-law Ning was also a talented woman when she got married, and now she is Who knows Huangmei Opera? Which woman in the capital dares to say that she is more talented than her? Didn't you make the wrong decision? Fortunately, Sister-in-law Ning gave me a hint today, otherwise if the rumors started to spread in this house, you would have What kind of dignity is there to gain a foothold here? Even I lose my shame. You have a rough life, and there is nothing wrong with planning for yourself, but this plan is wrong. Think about how Sister-in-law Ning took care of us back then, but now you are beating her up Your husband’s idea, pat your chests and ask yourselves, do you feel guilty or not?”
Feng Zhenzhu and Feng Mingzhu's faces turned red in an instant, and they clutched their clothes and dared not speak any more. When Jin Yanfang saw that the beating was almost done, she softened her expression and said solemnly: "Today I tell you the truth, my second brother is already choosing a family for you. Do you like the children of rich families or the ambitious students from poor families? , tell me yourself, this is the only thing I can help you with. Don’t worry, although you are from a poor family, it is not as good as our noble family, and your family must be well-off, so I will not wrong you."
After she finished speaking, she saw the two sisters biting their lips and not speaking, so she snorted, then went up to help them up, and said with a smile: "What? You don't dare to say anything now? Are you too shy? I'm thinking of my second brother. Where has all the boldness gone at that time? Well, stop talking nonsense, there is no one else here, there are only a few of us, am I still going to push you into the pit of fire? If you don't say it yourself, then I will have to do it for you and choose for you. ”
"Sister-in-law, we... we just want someone who can live a good life, as long as he treats us well and is honest." Feng Zhenzhu and Feng Mingzhu became a little anxious when they heard Jin Yanfang say this, and said quickly. The hope in their hearts was ruthlessly shattered, and they also knew that there was no need to count on Jin Fengju. Otherwise, Jin Yanfang would not have said that he was the one who chose a match for his sisters and others just now, but would have said that Fu Qiuning invited the matchmaker to come to the house. Thinking about it carefully, in those few "accidental encounters", the other party's attitude towards the three of them was already very obvious. They were cold and indifferent and wanted to stay away from each other. It was a pity that at that time, the heart was so warm that it was like being covered by lard, and they didn't realize it. Jin Fengju avoided the taboo and only thought that one day he would be able to sing in harmony with each other. It was really embarrassing and humiliating.
Jin Yanfang saw their faces blushing like fire, and she knew in her heart that these two people were thinking about it. Since they looked away, it was enough for them to have Han Qixue there. So she breathed a sigh of relief and stood up and said: "You can see clearly now. Don't worry, the second brother is a good person. Sister-in-law Ning has always been sympathetic to your life experience. She will naturally find a good family for you and won't feel wronged." Yours."
As she spoke, she walked towards the door. Feng Mingzhu and Feng Zhenzhu knew that she was leaving and quickly pulled her sleeves. Feng Zhenzhu blushed and asked, "Sister-in-law, is Second Grandma Ning the right person?" Are you angry with us?"
Jin Yanfang recalled Fu Qiuning's words before leaving, and couldn't help but feel grateful that she was still willing to think about her two sisters-in-law who were not living up to expectations at this time. After thinking for a moment, Fang slowly said: "That's not true. Sister-in-law Ning said, You have such thoughts only because you feel uncomfortable living in other people's houses. My second brother is indeed good. It's a pity that his thoughts are not on this, otherwise it would be nothing. In such a big house, who has not Three wives and four concubines? So my sister-in-law is not angry with you, but the second brother refused. She was afraid that your delay would be in vain, so she revealed it to me a little bit and let me persuade you."
When Feng Zhenzhen and Feng Mingzhu heard what she said, she felt relieved, but she always felt uncomfortable, so she never went to Fengya Building again, and Fu Qiuning didn't care. Jin Yanfang was told to save face for the two sisters before, but it was because they were girls poisoned by feudal ethics and were dependent on others, so they urgently sought medical treatment. But after all, she was still a little confused about the fact that they actually set their sights on Jin Fengju. If the three sisters didn't come, she would be happy and relaxed.
Time flies, and it is the Mid-Autumn Festival. After the Mid-Autumn Festival, there will be the All Nations Civilization Conference. Envoys from some countries have come to Beijing, and even blond and blue-eyed foreigners from the other side of the ocean have come. There are many foreign faces in the capital, attracting people to watch. , for a time, the already bustling and lively capital was even more crowded, and the atmosphere was peaceful and romantic.
Because the rehearsal of "The Match" has been completed, and the Queen Mother and the Emperor praised it before entering the palace, but even in the palace, this play is not often sung, for fear of tiring the actors' voices and delaying the civilization meeting of all nations. This is a top priority. But at least Fu Qiuning's errand was temporarily relieved. So in the past few days, I only spent time in Fengya Building and Kangshou Courtyard, talking to Mrs. Jin, joking with a few children, and checking their homework. Brother and sister Jin Zhenyi and Jin Xiunan are now very close to her, so everyone in the family praises the second grandmother Ning for being really virtuous and kind. Although she has nothing to do, with the support of the young marquis and the four promising children, she will be a good person in the future. Are you still afraid of being homeless forever? These are good things for good people. Naturally, this is the discussion among the servants. Of course Jiang Wanying, Aunt Huo and others do not think so.
After noon that day, because there was nothing to do, Mrs. Jin remembered that she had taken a fancy to Yu Jie's knots, so she asked Yu Jie to find some colored silk threads, and then the master and servant came to Kangshouyuan. Seeing the grass dying in the garden, Fu Qiuning couldn't help but smile with emotion: "In a blink of an eye, it's autumn again. Lady Yu is getting married, and I'm seeing you getting married too. Although I'm happy for you, I'm also sad. I have to lament that time flies so quickly.”
The marriage between Yu Jie and Ling Yun finally came to fruition. Although Yujie had originally made up her mind to serve Fu Qiuning for the rest of her life, Fu Qiuning couldn't help but persuade her again and again, saying that this Lingyun family was good and that other was good. In the end, she couldn't help but be moved. There was just one thing, Ling Yun was considered a royal guard after all, and his wife could not be a slave. Therefore, Yu Jie could not stay by Fu Qiuning's side like Yu Niang did in the future. Every time she thought about this, she felt her eyes turn red. , but then I thought, it would be a good thing to be freed from slavery. Therefore, Fang Zhen was filled with melancholy. When he heard Fu Qiuning say this, he couldn't help but feel what it was like in his heart.
