Early in the morning of the second day, before dawn, I heard a chirping sound coming from the yard. Jin Fengju turned over and without opening his eyes, he said to Fu Qiuning: "When will you raise the chickens and ducks?" Are they all placed in the yard? They are chattering so much that they are not afraid of disturbing their sleep."
Fu Qiuning reluctantly opened his eyes and murmured back: "Fart, what if the chickens and ducks came to the front yard now? If nothing else, when the big rooster crows, you have to get up. This Maybe one of the birds woke up early and is flapping in the cage right now. There is still some time to get serious, so you should go back to sleep for a while."
Jinfeng sighed and stretched out his arms to hug Qiu Ning. After a while, he suddenly opened his eyes and said decisively: "No, this is definitely not a bird's call. Our house has not kept such a diligent bird." After listening carefully for a while, he suddenly said angrily: "Why are these naughty kids up so early in the morning? Listen, they are not barking in the yard."
Fu Qiuning opened his eyes and listened carefully, and found that it was indeed laughter with a lowered voice, so he sighed, sat up and said, "Who can blame you? It's not because of what you said yesterday. That's all. It's time for you to get up and prepare to go to court." After saying that, he stood up and called Jian Feng to come in and serve him. As soon as he finished speaking, the door curtain was raised, and Jian Feng walked in with a few maids and said with a smile: "Master and grandma were woken up by the voices of young men and girls? It's no wonder they are here. It's not even the fourth watch yet. After a while, the slaves saw them getting up, but they didn't dare to raise their voices in the courtyard. Who knew that after a while, the door of the courtyard was knocked, and it was Master Xuan, the second girl, the fourth girl and the fifth girl who came over. Because they were together, everyone was able to Have fun."
"Brother Xuan, the fourth and fifth girls are all here?" Fu Qiuning asked in surprise. When Jian Feng nodded, before she could speak, Jin Fengju snorted and said, "This is nonsense. Brother Xuan, come here to show mercy." Excusable, what are these girls doing here? Although they are still young and don’t have to worry about avoiding suspicion, they are really the ladies of the big family. Besides, I can’t take care of them if I take them out. "
Fu Qiuning smiled and said: "Children also know this truth. Otherwise, do you think you could get away so easily yesterday? No one else is needed. Jiao'er, the competitive one, is going to fight you in the ring. Although they can't go in person now, maybe Come here and ask your brothers to bring you some things. Then if Lingji Palace is as lively as you said today, what are you selling?"
Jin Fengju had finished washing his face at this time and was wiping his hands with the white mulberry silk towel, then put it in the basin and said with a smile: "That's right. When these brothers go out, they should carry something for them. What's more, it's not just a few of them, but also Brother Yun in the eldest brother's room, and Brother Yue in the eldest brother's room. Hey, it's good this time. I actually got myself into big trouble, so many monkeys. Son, once something happens, wouldn’t it be impossible to atone for it even if you die?”
Brother Yun is Jin Zhenyun, the son of Jin Pengzhan, and Brother Yue is the son of Jin Luanfeng. Because they all stay in the house, Mrs. Jin always takes special care of them because they are afraid of being uncomfortable on weekdays. With such excitement at the moment, Jin Fengju cannot only think about his sons.
After finishing washing up in a moment, Jian Feng brought porridge and side dishes over. Jin Fengju ate in a hurry and said to Fu Qiuning: "I will go to court now. In a while, you will send someone to pick up Brother Yun and brother Yun. When I come down from court, have someone pick them up." "
Fu Qiuning agreed and put on an autumn-colored velvet cloak for him. After watching him go out, he turned back and asked Jian Feng to prepare the porridge again and called the children over to eat. Because Jin Zhenxuan, Jin Xiuzhen and others came over without breakfast, they had to eat together. At this moment of joy, the children had put aside all their usual quarrels. The girls were thinking hard and doing their best to search for the things they wanted from their brothers.
Fu Qiuning watched them joking and felt very happy. Suddenly she heard the report from the maid outside: "Grandma is here." She stood up quickly and saw Mr. He walking in with his son Jin Zhenyue, and said with a smile: "Second Master yesterday. In the past, I said that I would take Brother Yue to Lingji Palace today, which only made him so excited that he couldn't sleep a wink all night. Oh, they are all here, it can be seen that they are all provoked by the second master's words. Huh? I see Look, this is actually on the list, tsk tsk, brother Feng is a serious person."
Fu Qiuning smiled and said: "It's all girls who are chattering. If you can't go by yourself, how can you not try your best to exploit your brothers? Ask your girl later and tell her if you want anything." After speaking, He said with a smile: " That's all, I think it's pretty complete here." Then he said to Jin Zhenyue: "Just look at Brother Feng's list, pick out what your younger sisters and younger brothers like and bring them a few items, they will be easily satisfied, so of course. joy."
Then Aunt Han from Jinpeng's exhibition room also brought Jin Zhenyun over. The sisters-in-law were not very close to each other on weekdays, but they only exchanged a few words with Mrs. Jin when they met. There is no intrigue like other families. What's more, Fu Qiuning has been busy rehearsing the Huangmei Opera these days, and he can't even see her anymore. Looking at her slimmer face, he smiled and said: "It's really hard work to be so thin, Feng Ju I don’t know how to make up for it for you.”
Because they were joking for a while, Fu Qiuning asked Han and He if they had eaten breakfast. When they heard that they had, she asked someone to bring over several plates of snacks, but they were just for the children to eat as they pleased. After a while, Jin Ming was heard outside saying: "Report to grandma, I am already outside the door. Let me take a few brothers out. There is a carriage for them to sit in."
Jin Zhenyi muttered: "Carriage? Who wants to ride in a carriage? We are all men, so naturally we should ride a horse." Before he finished speaking, Fu Qiuning said: "I'll wait for you to ride a horse after you are thirteen years old. Just be honest now." Take a carriage, or don’t go.”
From the beginning to the end, Jin Zhenyi was the most concerned about this matter. Now when he heard what Fu Qiuning said, he didn't dare to explode for fear that he would be disqualified for riding a horse. Wouldn't that be a penny gain? So I had to go out with a few older brothers and younger brothers. Aunt Han and Mrs. Liu left here because she didn't feel well, so she sat here for a while. Mrs. He smiled and said: "Brother Yi has become more and more sensible when he came to his sister's place. If it was normal, he wouldn't know how long he would have to make trouble for this matter." , Aunt Xu is a little too indulgent after all."
Fu Qiuning said with a smile: "It is understandable that a loving mother has a loving heart, otherwise she would be said to have many failed children." Because at this time, Yu Shi and Luo Shi also came out, and several people chatted lively for a while, He Shi He and Aunt Han said goodbye and left. Here Fu Qiuning accompanied her mother to Kangshouyuan to sit for a while, and then went to Jinfu to make final preparations for the rehearsal of "The Fairy Match".
"Madam, everything is ready now. We are just waiting for this much-anticipated event. Our show "The Match" will definitely be a blockbuster and win the first place." In the pavilion of Jinfu Garden, Lin Sile was sitting and talking to Fu Qiuning. In the distance, On the stage, the singers and musicians were still practicing their steps and matching the music.
"I have tried my best, and I really think you performed well and sang well." Fu Qiuning looked at the bright figures in the distance. She sincerely admired them. Ancient people were indeed very smart. As the saying goes, on stage, One minute, ten years of hard work in the audience, she originally did not expect to achieve such good results in such a short period of time. Unexpectedly, the effect turned out to be better than she imagined. These singing and dancing girls learned very quickly, especially the one who played the protagonist Seven Fairies. She was simply a genius. Fu Qiuning asked herself that she could not match this girl's talent, not to mention her beauty. Beautiful, her movements are very graceful. She couldn't help but secretly feel sorry for her, thinking that if she had been born in modern society, she would have been a big star who was popular with many people. She would be surrounded by people wherever she went. It was a pity that she was born at the wrong time. In ancient times, one had no choice but to be an actress and a dancer.
When Lin Sile heard Fu Qiuning praising his musicians, he couldn't help but feel very proud. He nodded and said: "These girls who perform on the stage are just that. After all, they are carefully selected by the Royal Jiaofang Department. Who is not top-notch in singing and dancing?" It's just that I think it's really not easy for the musicians. They actually arranged all the songs for this play based on what grandma sang.
"Isn't that so? They are indeed geniuses." Fu Qiuning turned her head and glanced at the musicians behind the big screen, and her heart was filled with enthusiasm. She also did not expect that once this Huangmei Opera would see the light of day, it would be processed by these ancient actors. , he will actually sing more perfectly than he did in modern times.
"Madam is a genius. It's a pity that after the All Nations Civilization Conference, we have to go back to the old days, and we can no longer get along with madam day and night." Lin Sile sighed, then forced a smile and said: "Look Why am I saying such depressing words at this time? When there is a banquet in the palace, maybe the Emperor and Queen Mother will ask us to perform, and the Madam may be the guest of honor. Who can say for sure? Right? "
Fu Qiuning saw that Lin Sile was really feeling sorry for him. After thinking about it, he smiled and said, "I'm afraid Lin Sile will be disappointed. Because the Queen Mother said that the play was well arranged and asked me if there are any others. , I said yes, so the Queen Mother and the Emperor were overjoyed and asked me to continue teaching everyone in the future. When these people become successful, they can teach others. We can also study new plays by then, so this relationship will last for a long time. The fight lasted for a long time."
