Jin Zhenyi thought for a while, then shook his head in distress and said, "I don't understand. You'd better teach your brothers and sisters these things. My sister can do it too. I can't do it alone. I'm just a straightforward person. Otherwise, I wouldn't have done it last time." That scene was a disaster..." Having said this, I suddenly remembered that the last scene was just to frame Fu Qiuning and Jin Zangfeng? He actually dared to mention it, he was so impatient with life. He stopped talking because he was busy, so he only used a bowl to drink porridge as a cover-up.
"Drink slowly, no one will compete with you." Fu Qiuning didn't care about Jin Zhenyi's words. He scolded and said to several children: "Now that we have arrived in Quanzhou, although we are not familiar with the place, your coursework is But you can't let it go. Those old masters from the Jingzhong Ethnic School didn't follow you south. Your father's intention is to help you recruit famous teachers here. Don't just play around and review your homework these days, I'm afraid it will be three years later. The teacher should arrive in five days. Don't let anyone say that the children of the Duke's Mansion are all uneducated. And Jiao'er and Miss San, this is Quanzhou, and embroidery is also very popular. I can hire two for you in two days. A gentleman who teaches female beauty, since he has been out for a while, he should learn some skills, and when he goes back, he can embroider two foreheads for the old ladies, and let them see the results you have achieved during your time outside."
Several children agreed. Immediately after breakfast, someone came over to check on Jiang Wanying's situation. According to Qiu Ning's instructions, he invited several good local doctors to come. They all said that it was okay and just rested for two days. Fu Qiuning nodded and said he understood. Before he could sit down when he returned to the room, a little girl came to announce that a guest was coming.
Fu Qiuning knew in her heart that these should be the family members of several officials from Quanzhou Prefecture mentioned by Jin Fengju. She was originally a person with a peaceful personality. Even though her husband had a title, she was also a fifth-grade married woman. To her surprise, only two women came, and the rest were just their daughters, maids, and even two aunts.
Fu Qiuning had a thought in his heart and secretly thought that there were at least a dozen officials in Quanzhou Prefecture. Since Fengju is the prefect and has a title, why shouldn't only these two people come? But it didn't show anything on his face. He sat down and talked to the two women for a while, and then ordered someone to take purses containing gold and silver coins and reward them to several children, which seemed really affectionate.
The two women did not expect that the Marquis's wife was so approachable. Slowly he let go, but kept silent about other officials and their families. Fu Qiuning looked at their expressions and refused to ask. He only shared a few words about what he had seen and heard along the way. As soon as it was noon, the two ladies stood up and left. As soon as they left, Fu Qiuning frowned tightly.
When she returned to the house, she heard Jian Feng angrily say: "Grandma, those people are so abominable. I am the prefect after all, but they couldn't come to the door. Although grandma was not taken seriously in the government because of some things before, but How can it be compared with the past? Those people didn't ask who is the most favored by the master in the house now. They are so confident that they are still counting on Grandma Wan. They heard that she is sick, so they refuse Coming to the door."
Fu Qiuning shook his head and said: "That's not right. How can outsiders understand the details of some things in the Duke's mansion? Since they are official relatives, everyone here should know it well. Even if they don't respect me in their hearts, they still have to live up to their reputation. There is no way it would be so big. There is still something going on here that we don’t know. Well, we are new here, so we can’t expect to get along with people right away. Let’s take our time and see. No matter what the reason is, the truth will eventually come to light. one day."
Jian Feng still felt aggrieved. Fortunately, several family members of Jin Fengju's boss came to visit in the afternoon. In theory, these people should be visited by Fu Qiuning. She also planned to go in the next two days. Even if she couldn't spare the time, she would still make the trip when Jiang Wanying got better. She couldn't let anyone pick her out. But I didn't expect that someone would come to the door at this time, and I couldn't help but be a little surprised for a while.
But it turned out that these married women were all members of the pro-rong sect officials, and they all had similar personalities. They knew very well that Jin Fengju was sent here just because he had a problem with the prince. As long as the prince does not ascend the throne for a day, Prince Rong will still have a chance. If Prince Rong really picks up the peach in the future, then as his closest brother-in-law and adviser, it will be natural for him to turn around and have a bright future. So how can these lucky women be willing to take over? Naturally, I came to visit first.
After cheering up and dealing with it, it wasn't until evening that the ladies were sent away. Here Fu Qiuning returned to the house, but he was still wondering about what happened in the morning. Suddenly I heard children talking and laughing, and then Jin Zangfeng ran in with his younger brothers and sisters, and even Jin Zhenxuan and Jin Xiuzhen followed behind them. Seeing Qiuning in the room, these little guys stopped hurriedly and greeted Fu Qiuning one by one.
Fu Qiuning looked at Jin Xiuzhen and her brother and couldn't help but feel a little strange in her heart. She still remembered how the two children were bullied when she took her two children to Kangshou Yuan for the first time. Even the dragon and phoenix jade pendants given by Jin Fengju They were all smashed to pieces. Now, although Jin Zhenyi and Jin Xiunan have moved into Fengya Building because of that incident, their feud with them has slowly been revealed. But the two Jin Xiuzhen siblings must not have a good impression of themselves and the Jin Zangfeng siblings in front of Jiang Wanying. We used to live apart from each other until death, so why do we seem to be so affectionate now
However, this thought only flashed through his mind. Fu Qiuning only thought that it was Jiang Wanying's order to let them get closer to him specifically so that they could spy on something, so he didn't take it to heart. Hearing Jin Zangfeng ask about Jin Fengju, she said calmly: "Your father is going to inspect the Japanese defense stations today. I'm afraid he won't be able to come back until night. He may even not be able to come back, so he will just eat in the guard station. I have already I've ordered people to go shopping for groceries. In addition to yesterday's game, I will prepare some delicious food for you tonight. Now go to the study to read, while Jiao'er, the second girl and the third girl go to embroider for a while. I'll receive you The ladies have been sitting for most of the day, and now their legs are a little stiff, so they want to go out for a walk."
Jin Zangfeng and others agreed and went to the study and boudoir respectively. Here Fu Qiuning went out.
The back office of the prefect is no better than the Duke of Jingguo's mansion. Although there are many houses and the front and back yards are spacious enough, there are no garden views. Fu Qiuning just walked around casually, and soon came to the backyard, where he saw the smoke from the kitchen chimney curling up into the blue clouds. There were several clumps of green bamboo planted in front of the house, so she smiled at Qiu Yu beside her and said, "I didn't expect that this kitchen would be such an elegant place. These bamboo poles are really green."
Qiu Yu smiled and said: "What elegance? I heard that these bamboos were planted in front of the kitchen just for the convenience of eating bamboo shoots in the spring. Fortunately, it was a little windy at the moment. Grandma walked for a while and sat on this rock. Come and have a rest." As she spoke, she spread a handkerchief on the stone beside the bamboo forest and helped Fu Qiuning sit down.
"You should also sit down. This gust of wind makes people feel comfortable. The so-called wind blows..." Before Fu Qiuning could finish speaking, he suddenly heard the voices of two women coming from not far away, so he immediately stopped talking and thought These servants want to see me again when they see me. Why don't they go to such trouble? Yin Ye quietly gave Qiu Yu a wink, telling her to keep quiet.
The two women didn't know that Fu Qiuning was sitting behind the bamboo forest, talking all the way over, with a hint of injustice in his tone.
"Why are you blaming us? When we came in yesterday, it was very quiet here, and there was not a single family. What can I and grandma know? Maybe those officials are trying to curry favor. Now, But he puts the blame on our family, is this justified?"
"That's what I said. Poor grandma and grandpa are still in the dark. My old lady wanted to say something, but you said that the whole family just moved in and they have a lot of things to do. Don't bring this matter to me and grandma. Add more trouble. But if this happens, won't the reputation of our house be ruined?"
The two of them walked through the bamboo forest while talking. Here Fu Qiuning's expression became solemn and he said to Qiu Yu: "Go over and call them over. I'm afraid the things I've been wondering about all day will happen to them."
Qiu Yu quickly stood up and walked out to call the two wives. As soon as the two people heard that Grandma Ning was behind the bamboo forest, they were a little scared. They followed Qiu Yu to Fu Qiuning. They were about to kneel down when they saw her wave her hands to stop her. She glanced at the vegetable baskets in their hands and said warmly. : "I was walking around casually, and I felt the wind was good here, so I sat down and unexpectedly heard you talking. This happened to answer some things that I couldn't understand. Please tell me the reason in detail. ." When she finished speaking, she raised her head again and said to Qiu Yu: "Go back and get some money. Our family just came here, and it's not easy for them to be gossiped about even if they buy vegetables."
