Fu Qiuning smiled and said: "Don't be too happy too early. After all, this is the house of the second master of our family. Before, it was for the All Nations Civilization Association to take measures. Now that we are about to have a business trip, we have to let someone move here, right? That won't happen then." Know where to go to train.”
Lin Sile said with a smile: "After the Universal Civilization Conference, Huangmei Opera will definitely become popular all over the country, so there is no need to avoid it. I think the emperor will specially grant us a place, but if we are in the palace, my wife will have to rush back and forth. This seems impossible."
Fu Qiuning smiled and said: "It's all for later, don't think too much about it now." Even so, Lin Sile couldn't help but be happy. He was having fun there for a while, and then he realized that he had lost his temper. Busy smiled and changed the topic.
Let's talk about Jin Fengju, who came to Lingji Palace with his sons and nephews. This Lingji Palace was originally a Taoist temple for the royal family. Later, it was struck by lightning. The emperor moved the Taoist temple to another place. However, because the land was open, he ordered craftsmen to build it. A conference hall of the All Nations Civilization Association. In order to show the majesty of the great nation, this building is decorated with extremely gorgeous carved beams and paintings.
Jin Fengju led the children into the Lingji Palace first, and saw that the so-called General Assembly Hall of the All Nations Civilizations was actually a four-story round building surrounded on three sides. There were seats, tables and chairs from the second floor upwards, because they were all for The honorable ministers and their families sat on the first floor. There were only chairs on the first floor, which were prepared for some wealthy businessmen. The remaining open space was built with a total of twenty wide steps for the common people to sit on. It can seat thousands of people, but as for other people, they can only gather under the high platform and sit on the ground to watch. This can also seat thousands of people. As for the trees and walls, everyone can only rely on their own abilities. It's just that if the emperor comes, the venue will inevitably be under martial law. Therefore, every time the All Nations Civilization Conference is held, it takes a huge amount of effort just to screen the people.
Jin Fengju took a brief look around the Lingji Palace and saw that everything was very clean. He turned back to the guard behind him and said: "Yang Ming, you lead a few guards and the children out together. The excitement is outside now. Let them buy whatever they want from the stalls, as long as it is not excessive. Do watch. There are people here, don’t get separated.”
Although this was a hard job, Yang Ming couldn't complain, so he clasped his fists and said, "Don't worry, young Marquis, I will protect the safety of the young masters until my death." Before he finished speaking, Jin Fengju shook his head and said, "Don't say that. If it's so serious, why would you die? I don't believe it. In the peaceful and prosperous times, could there be rats who dare to act recklessly here? If so, it is a credit given to you by God."
Yang Ming and the guards behind him laughed at what he said, so they left a few to accompany Jin Fengju to continue patrolling everywhere. The remaining dozen guards went downstairs and led Jin Zangfeng, Jin Zhenyi and others out of Lingji Palace.
I saw the open land outside Lingji Palace, which was now filled with various stalls, selling everything from food, jewelry, rouge, etc. There were also jugglers, storytellers, and Sanxian players, in short, there were all kinds of stalls. The children had never been out of the house very often, and they were all looking at it. Suddenly, they saw a big pot not far away taking out golden fried cakes from the oil. Jin Zhenyi said: "I have eaten this before, outside. A layer of glutinous rice and sesame seeds, with sugar filling inside, it is the sweetest. It tastes different from the cakes at home." As he said that, he ran over, and the two guards quickly followed. After a while, Jin Zhenyi was holding it. Two big paper bags came over.
He handed the fried cake to Jin Zangfeng, Jin Zhenxuan and others. While eating the cake, the boy inhaled when it was so hot that he still praised it: "It's really delicious. You guys should try it quickly. It would be great if you all eat it." , let’s buy a copy for our sisters later.”
In fact, the food outside is naturally not as good as the Hou Mansion, but what is important is the liveliness, and the food is the same, but if different people cook it, it will have a completely different flavor. Therefore, these pampered young masters all ate well. Then they squeezed over and each bought two more packages for their younger siblings, handed them to the boys, and continued shopping.
There are countless food stalls along the way, including fried stinky tofu, fried meatballs, twists, fried dumplings, ramen, red bean cakes and so on. The boys walked all the way down, their bellies were full, and they couldn't help but regret not having eaten in the morning. Here Jin Ming and the boys tried hard to persuade them, but they didn't dare to let them eat more. So I had no choice but to buy them in one go, which only bothered the boys behind me. They knew that there were no plastic bags at this time, so they had to hold them one by one in paper bags. It wasn't until Jin Ming, who had been sent elsewhere to exchange copper coins, came back that he patted his head and said, "Looking at my memory, the Second Grandma specially gave me a few big cloth bags. I forgot to give them to you because I left the big cloth bag in my hand." All kinds of satin bags stuffed inside were taken out, and everyone breathed a sigh of relief.
After buying food, I went to look at those rouge and gouache shops, but I didn't see any good ones. I thought that the ones my sisters used at home were naturally better than the ones at this stall, so I didn't buy them. Instead, I bought those wicker ones. I bought a lot of baskets, Maitreya Buddha carved from tree roots, Eight Immortals crossing the sea, etc., as well as those pen holders with novel and interesting patterns, wind stoves made of clay, clay figurines and candy figurines. I bought a few big bags in total and watched the boys one by one. They couldn't carry it anymore, and it was getting dark too early. Only then did the young masters return to Lingji Palace with great satisfaction.
Jin Fengju had finished making arrangements at this time. When he saw the children carrying so many things, he couldn't help but be startled. Then he laughed and cursed: "This is all Qiu Ning's fault. She must be soft-hearted. She thought it was your first time to go out to watch the fun. I gave you the money, otherwise you could have bought all these things?" After saying this, Jin Zangfeng smiled and said: "Yes, my mother gave me the money, but most of them are bought here for my sisters to play with, and I met some people on the way. A few beggars also gave up their money, all because of my mother’s orders.”
Jin Fengju nodded and said: "Qiu Ning is a kind-hearted person, and he has even considered this. Okay, let's put the things here, daddy will take you to eat, and then go back home after eating." After saying that, Jin Zhenyi seemed a little reluctant. , he was in a good mood at this time, so he kicked me and said: "Don't cry and look sad. If you are obedient and well-behaved this time, I will take you with me next time I go hunting in Qiuwei."
One sentence made Jin Zhenyi happy. Even though Jin Fengju used thousands of tricks in front of Fu Qiuning, in front of his sons, he was definitely a strict father, otherwise Jin Zhenyi wouldn't be so afraid of him. It was rare to see his father's loving side at this time. Jin Zangfeng didn't realize anything. He had always been calm and sensible, and Jin Fengju felt that he owed him and never raised his voice. On the other hand, Jin Zhenyi, Jin Zhenxuan, Jin Zhenyun and Jin Zhenyue all felt that their father and second uncle seemed to be different people this time. Of course, they were also happy in their hearts.
When he came back in the afternoon, Fu Qiuning had not come back yet, so several children came to the upper room, chattering to Old Mrs. Jin about what they had seen outside, and took out those things. Not only did the girls After choosing what I liked, some little maids also joined in the fun, and several big buns were snatched up.
Old Mrs. Jin had not been so lively for a long time, and she could only open her mouth from ear to ear with joy. Jiang Wanying, Huo Shi and others made some fun remarks, and she became more and more comfortable. Suddenly she heard someone outside say: "Second Grandma Ning is here." Then. As soon as the door curtain was raised, Fu Qiuning walked in. When he saw Jin Zangfeng and others, he smiled and said, "I heard that I didn't even take a nap after coming back, so I ran over here. Needless to say, I must have looted a lot of good things today. Come here." Show off."
Everyone laughed when he said one sentence, and Mrs. Jin smiled and said: "The children just came to my place and made me happy for a long time. Don't be cautious about them. Yes, tomorrow is the All Nations Civilization Conference. You all can go down. , it’s time to tidy up. It’s a lively place that only happens once every three years, so it’s rare to see it. What’s more, it’s even more important for our family to have a look this time. We don’t even need to come over for dinner. I still need to tidy up Luocui here.”
When everyone heard what he said, they all left. Here, Mrs. Jin asked Fu Qiuning a few more questions about the Huangmei Opera, and then smiled and said: "I wanted to go to the palace last time, but I had a bad stomach, so I didn't go. My heart has flown out now, I just look forward to seeing how good this whole show will be." After talking for a while, Yin sent Fu Qiuning and the children away.
After returning to Fengya Building, Jin Zhenyi said with a smile: "Madam, everyone rushed up to share everything. They actually took away the share we prepared for you. In the chaos, I didn't see who was snatching it. Yes, so there is no way to pursue it." Before he finished speaking, he saw Jin Zangfeng glare at him, and he raised his eyebrows to prevent the other party from making a sound. But Fu Qiuning smiled and said: "Do I care about your children's stuff? Let's split it up. If you have this in mind, just think of me. But they are just stuff. Next time, if your father brings you a few We are going hunting together. When the time comes, you will help pick up two rabbits and pheasants, and send them to the village to give Aunt Xu a share, so that she can rest assured that she knows that I have not neglected you because of her affairs, and it is also your filial piety. "
Jin Zhenyi was just joking, how could they get the things given to Fu Qiuning to Kangshouyuan and let people fight for them. However, when he heard Fu Qiuning's words, he couldn't help but froze. While wandering outside the Lingji Palace, he naturally thought of his biological mother. However, when he thought that these were gadgets, and before leaving last time, his mother had repeatedly warned him not to show his longing for her and be filial too much. Her mood was to serve Jinfengju Fu Qiuning wholeheartedly. This was the way to survive, so she could only give up sadly. I thought that I couldn't violate the taboos my mother said just because of these little things. But he didn't expect Fu Qiuning to take the initiative to mention it.
