Fu Qiuning asked someone to prepare some snacks and hot tea. Jin Fengju ate a few pieces. Fu Qiuning told him what happened in the past two days. He put down the snacks while eating, and just looked at his wife in disbelief. When he talked about the woman crying and making a fuss at the West Corner Gate and the incident about the Bai Zhang family, the young Marquis, who had always been calm and steady, couldn't help but slam the plate on the table and said bitterly: "Who is this?" What a bad idea? But do you want to kill me?"
Fu Qiuning hurriedly stepped forward, held down the vibrating plate, and said with a smile: "I'm so angry, don't take it out on my plate. It's a serious set. If you drop one, it won't match it." . Because of this, I ordered Yu Jie and the Bai Zhang family yesterday to notify those families and ask them to move back. As Yu Jie said, it turned out that the people living there were very difficult, and one family even lived in Thatched cottage, if you think about it, I am also a court official after all. If these words get out, it will be good or bad."
Jin Fengju stood there frowning in thought for a while, then suddenly sneered and said: "I'm afraid it's not as simple as ruining my reputation. Damn it, I need to investigate this matter strictly. Those stupid young people followed me and patted their chests to assure me, saying Maybe it’s because someone used the hammer as a weapon. Qiu Ning, you did the right thing. Fortunately, you noticed it, otherwise this time it would really be a big mistake. "
Fu Qiuning saw Jin Fengju's very solemn look and knew where his suspicions lay. He couldn't help but whisper: "Are you a bit disloyal? Maybe the generals of the Prince Rong faction wanted to curry favor with you, but they did bad things with good intentions. As for Is it involved in some conspiracy again?"
Jin Fengju shook his head and said: "You said this because you don't understand the situation in Quanzhou. Think about it, as long as the officials in this yamen are resentful of me, and someone secretly tries to win over me, we will still be the same after all. Isn't it scary to think about what might happen to an unfamiliar place? I just thought that the people here didn't want to get close to us for fear of being jealous of the prince, so I moved out. So those few were stunned I believed what Qingtou said, but now it seems that this is not the case at all. I know those people, they can never come up with this idea, there must be someone behind it, but it is self-evident what the instigator has in mind. ”
Fu Qiuning listened to Jin Fengju's analysis and it made sense, but he didn't quite believe it. He secretly said that in such an environment, it was no wonder that he was always cautious and sailed the ten-thousand-year-old ship. However, she didn't say it out loud. Suddenly she heard another noisy sound in the distance, and she smiled and said: "I guess those families have moved back one after another. There is just one problem. Grandma Wan and Aunt Cui Yuelan have taken over." What should I do if the yard refuses to be vacated?"
Jin Fengju just lowered his head and thought for a moment, then sneered and said: "It's nothing, Jin Ming, come in." After saying that, Jin Ming came in, and he said lightly: "Go to that courtyard and tell Wanying and the other two Yes, there are two empty houses near the magistrate's office. They can be bought later. If they are afraid of being squeezed together and suffered injustice, let them live in that house. But as the prefect, I naturally cannot move out. The prefect’s yamen can no longer enjoy the blessings with them."
Jin Ming's heart was awe-inspiring. Although he didn't know the specifics of Jiang Wanying and Aunt Huo, the deaths of Qiuxia and Tian Yu years ago, as well as Jin Fengju's few words, made his heart shake. When he heard these words, I actually didn't even want to comfort her, and I was obviously cut off from all kindness. Yin had no choice but to agree and turn around to do this.
Not long after, Yuelan, Aunt Cui, Jin Xiufen and the servants moved over one after another, and Jian Feng arranged rooms for them. Then Jiang Wanying rushed in like a gust of wind, her eyes were red and swollen, and she choked with sobs and said to Jin Fengju: "How many years have you and I been married? Ask yourself, am I a person who is afraid of hardship? Is there such a thing in the house? With a large family fortune, I have endured many hardships, but I still managed to hold on. Can I tell you about the bitterness in this? How come I moved here, and my nose is not my nose, my eyes are not my eyes, and now, actually, Let my dignified married woman live with those lower-class people, that's all. Who put us in this place now. But think about it, you are dignified after all, what do those people mean? They are just low-ranking people in the prefect's yamen. They are just minor officials, not even as good as a seventh-grade county magistrate. Their family members only occupy one courtyard, but you, the family members of a high-ranking magistrate, can't you just occupy an extra courtyard?"
As soon as Fu Qiuning saw her coming, he withdrew and went back. Here Jin Fengju slowly moved the teacup. When Jiang Wanying finished speaking, he raised his head and said coldly: "Now do you know how difficult it is? Sister Wan, you are a smart person. Didn't you think about it when you came to Quanzhou?" What kind of situation is this? Why do you want to follow me again? You said you have been wronged, which is true, but look at the people in this mansion, who is still enjoying ease and happiness? You are the destined wife, isn't Qiuning? She is the palace of Zhenjiang Prince You, the concubine, know how to advance and retreat, but you, the granddaughter of the Duke's mansion, don't even know this? What's more, I asked Jin Ming to tell you, if you feel that you have been wronged by staying here, the people near the Yamen I have bought two houses. You can move there and live there. Although I can't go there, the money will not cost you a penny. You can choose one of these two roads. That yard will be the same no matter what. Pour it out too.”
Jiang Wanying was so angry that her lungs were about to explode. She just hated Fu Qiuning so much that she secretly thought that a good move would be ruined by that woman again. No, that woman is my nemesis. If she doesn't die, not to mention all my hard work, I'm afraid that the master's series of painstaking arrangements will all come to nothing. I must find a way to prevent her death. That's what I live for.
Although she was furious in her heart, Jiang Wanying calmed down on the surface and snorted coldly: "Since I have brought it to this point, I don't have anything to say. Isn't it just that we are crowded together? I'm not afraid, I'm just I'm afraid some people don't like me and want to add trouble out of thin air, hum!" After saying that, he rushed out like a gust of wind. Here Jin Fengju raised his head and looked at her back, with no warmth in his eyes.
All the official family members moved in within one morning. Because Jin Fengju took office, they were forced to move out of the government office, and they were really resentful. They had spread some unpleasant words among the people these days, but they didn't expect that things would turn around, and the newly appointed young marquis and his family would actually take the blame. The whole thing was caused by the generals' misdeeds. What's more, the Hedong Lion from Mr. Han's family ran to make a fuss in front of the mansion again. Although it was only because of this that Mrs. Hou learned the truth and they were able to move back. But if you think about it carefully, this shrew's actions have actually caused trouble for herself and others. Therefore, these family members wanted to visit Fu Qiuning, but they were embarrassed. But if you don’t go, it would be disrespectful. With no choice but to think that it was Bai Zhang who had sent the message that day, they discussed it and went to find Bai Zhang together and asked her to lead them to visit Fu Qiuning.
Jiang Wanying was so angry that she naturally refused to take charge. Therefore, Fu Qiuning had no choice but to continue being the head grandmother. At this moment, she heard an announcement outside the door that several ladies were visiting, so she naturally wanted to go out to receive them. It was not convenient for Jin Fengju to show up, and he was very tired, so he lay down on the couch by the window and fell asleep.
I don’t know how much time passed, but I felt itchy and furry on my face, as if something was playing with it. He just thought that Fu Qiuning was joking with him, so he casually waved it with his hand and said: "Don't make trouble with Qiu Ning, and let me sleep for a while."
After he finished mumbling, he didn't hear Fu Qiuning speak. He just thought that his wife felt sorry for him, and he wouldn't bother her if he heard her say this. Unexpectedly, just as a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, he heard a "meow" sound in his ears.
Jin Fengju was quite frightened. His eyes opened immediately, and they were as wide as bells. The heavy sleepiness disappeared. He noticed that his face was still furry. He stiffened his neck and slowly turned his head. I yelled in my heart: Which wild cat doesn't open its eyes? Are all the people in this family dead? He even let a wild cat run in without knowing it...
Just as he was thinking about it, he turned his head and saw a tall tabby cat tilting its head to look at him. Its eyes were round and black, and seemed to be majestic in all directions. Jin Fengju felt as if a string had broken in his head, and he fell off the couch with a scream.
That big cat was the big civet cat that Fu Qiuning had just adopted. Just because it had been sleeping on this couch for the past two days, when it saw someone occupying it, it naturally came over to test it. Unexpectedly, the man was so sensible that he actually rolled down. So he lay down contentedly, shook his beard, and called "meow" again to Jin Fengju.
"Come...someone."
Jin Fengju was shocked and angry. He was a dignified young prince with some martial arts skills, but he didn't dare to move because he was being stared at by the old cat. Fortunately, as soon as he called, the two little maids and Jin Zangfeng ran in. When Jin Zangfeng saw his father sitting on the ground, he couldn't help being very surprised. He hurriedly ran forward and held Jin Fengju's arm, and said in surprise: "Dad, what's going on?" sit on the floor?"
Jin Fengju was even more angry. How could he have the nerve to tell his son that he was scared by this old cat? Because he was annoyed, he glared at Jin Zangfeng and pointed his finger at the old cat. However, he quickly pulled it back and gritted his teeth: "Where did this big cat come from?"
