Jin Fengju originally got up from the ground when he saw the big cat sleeping with its head curled up. However, when he heard his son's words, he was so frightened that he almost sat back on the ground again. I had the intention to have the cat thrown out immediately, but considering that it was his wife who raised him, I would never dare to do such a thing as the so-called cat does not look at his wife. But if you don't throw it out, this house will become a cat's nest in the future. What can you do? Being so afraid of cats, even if you know it is unreasonable, you can't change it, but you can't say this reason in front of the children, otherwise where will the majesty of being a father go
Because I was gnashing my teeth in my heart, I suddenly heard Jin Ming's voice outside saying urgently: "Master, change your clothes quickly. Eunuch Lin has come from the battlefield in the north to deliver the emperor's decree."
One sentence frightened Jin Fengju out of all his thoughts, and he secretly thought that the emperor specially sent someone to convey the order to him, but for what purpose? Because he was busy changing into his Shangguan uniform, he still took a look at the sweetly sleeping old cat without forgetting the bitterness and hatred, then he put away his thoughts and hurriedly went out.
At that time, Fu Qiuning, Jiang Wanying and others also got the news and were busy changing into their wives' clothes. How had those official family members who were guests ever seen such a scene? Neither leaving nor staying, just hiding behind the door and quietly looking into the yard. Everyone was secretly wondering, thinking that their husband had clearly told them that the young marquis had asked the prince to be demoted to Quanzhou, and it was the emperor's wish. Why did he send the edict again now? Or is it such a high regard? Or is it that this will is not a mighty grace from heaven, but a will to punish sins
Under the burning spirit of the Eight Diagrams, these people's ears were erect longer than those of Jin Fengju and Fu Qiuning and Jiang Wanying. Seeing the eunuch unfurling the imperial edict of Huang Ling and reading out the emperor's decree, he appointed Jin Fengju as the commander-in-chief of the Fujian Command Department, and concurrently served as the prefect of Quanzhou to lead the anti-Japanese affairs. "The eyes of these people shined with envy.
Jin Fengju accepted the order to thank him. Originally, the prince asked him to take charge of the anti-Japanese affairs, but it was just a verbal order. He was neither given an official position nor given any clear instructions. What he wanted was that his name was not justified and his words were not justified. Now that this decree has come, everything has been resolved. With his mind settled, a hint of joy appeared on his face, which had always been indifferent to joy and anger, and he invited the eunuch into the hall to serve tea. That eunuch was Li Dezheng's apprentice, so he didn't know that he was demoted to this place, but his love for the saint was still there, so he also smiled and complimented him. Here Fu Qiuning still returned to the side hall and talked with the ladies for a while. Who wouldn't be interested at this moment? So everyone said a few words and then left together.
Fu Qiuning had just picked up the tea cup and took a sip when she saw Jian Feng and Yu Jie coming in, approaching her and saying, "Grandma, we just came from the yard and heard what Aunt Cui's two maids said that we can finally move out of this place. He said he was moving to the command department. If that’s the case, shouldn’t we hurry up and pack it up?”
Fu Qiuning put down the tea cup, shook his head and said with a smile: "You don't have to listen to them, just listen to the wind and rain. With my temper, I may not be willing to move." As soon as he finished speaking, he heard Jin Fengju's voice outside: "What are you moving?"
Fu Qiuning repeated what the two of them had just said about Aunt Cui and others, but Jin Fengju sneered and said: "That's good, I think this courtyard is very crowded for you to live in. In that case, let Qiu Shuang and Yue Lan move there." In that house nearby." After saying that, Fu Qiuning laughed and said: "Don't say such harsh words, if you don't go, how can they move there?"
Sure enough, when Cui and others heard that Jin Fengju refused to move, although they were disappointed, they absolutely refused to move. There are also more than a dozen rooms in the courtyard, including the main room, wing rooms and the balcony, connected to the corridor. The servants and women who work hard have a servant room next to the kitchen, so they don't need to occupy this place, so it is actually quite spacious, but Everyone was accustomed to enjoying the life of a single house in the wealthy days, but suddenly they were crowded together like this, and naturally they felt that it was too much.
In the evening, after the couple took a bath and rested, Jin Fengju lay on the bed and breathed a long sigh of relief and said: "I have finally settled down. The past few days have made me uneasy, and I have not been able to get close to you." After saying that, he hugged Fu Qiuning, and was about to lean in to rub and make out, when he suddenly heard a meow of "meow", which frightened him so much that he was so full of desire that he immediately turned away. When he turned around, he saw that The big tabby cat was standing not far away, its eyes like two small green lanterns, glaring at him in the dim moonlight.
Jin Fengju's cold sweat broke down in an instant, but he saw Fu Qiuning also sitting up and calling outside: "Qiu Yu, take the cat away. Let it sleep with you at night. Don't let it in."
Qiu Yu also listened to Fu Qiuning's repeated instructions to try not to let the old cat appear in front of Jin Fengju, but she inadvertently let the big guy slip in. So he hurried over and picked up the big cat, and said with a smile: "It's a good thing it's not fat, otherwise I wouldn't be able to carry it with such a big size."
"Qiu Ning, what's going on? I heard Feng'er say that you raised this big civet cat, and even their brothers and sisters also raised several small cats. You... you don't know that I'm afraid This thing will turn our residence into a cat garden in the future. Do you want everyone to know that the young Marquis is afraid of cats?"
Fu Qiuning took Jin Fengju's arm and lay down, shook his head and said with a smile: "So I also know that this is a useless thing? I think this is located in the south, and the weather is hot at this time, and rats and snakes are the most dangerous. Active, with this old cat, I can also get more mice. So I kept it. My father always said he was afraid of cats, but it’s actually okay. You can go see those little kittens tomorrow. They are so beautiful. Just tease them. Touch it, and slowly, when those milk cats grow up, they will be able to overcome their fear. Besides, I also hope that the children will have two more playmates. You don’t know, they like it so much, Today, the second girl and the second grandma Wan had a quarrel because of this milk cat. They are still living here with me, which shows how much the children like these cats... "
Fu Qiuning said a lot, but Jin Fengju only heard one sentence, which was that the two sisters, Jin Xiuzhen and their mother, turned against their mother because of the cat. For Jin Fengju, this is the best thing. Jiang Wanying will not be able to stay in the house in the future. Wouldn't it be better if the two siblings could slowly distance themselves from her? Because of this thought, he could only reluctantly accept the fact that his house was about to become a cat park.
But I still felt a little knotty in my heart. After thinking about it, I said: "Okay, even if you are right. It's just that those milk cats are just raised. What's wrong with you raising such a big civet cat now? Milk cats. I can slowly overcome my fear, but not this civet cat? I heard that cats grow very fast and can catch mice in two or three months. Why not get rid of this old cat tomorrow? Anyway, its children will be treated well. , it should be contented."
Fu Qiuning couldn't help but wanted to laugh, and secretly thought that Jin Fengju was really worried about this old cat, because he said lightly: "I raised this big cat, why? It's boring in this house every day, I raise it Isn’t it okay to just tease and play with the cat? If you don’t drive it out, how are you going to handle me? "
When she acted like this, Jin Fengju immediately had no choice but to grit his teeth and said, "Okay, if this old cat meets my conditions, you can keep it."
Hearing what he said, Fu Qiuning felt strange and thought to himself that it was really strange. He had never heard of any conditions attached to raising a cat, so he smiled and said: "You can just say it, but if the conditions are reasonable, I will naturally agree." .”
Jin Fengju snorted coldly and said: "Let me tell you in advance, I didn't know about it first, so I deliberately made such a condition. In the morning, before I could take a closer look at the cat, the imperial edict came down. How could I have time to check it? Now this old cat If the cat is a female, that’s fine, but if it’s a male, you must not keep it.”
Fu Qiuning frowned and wondered: "What's wrong with the male? Wouldn't a male cat be better? Otherwise, if it's a female cat, she gives birth to a few cubs every year, and we don't have anyone to give them to, and we can't just throw them outside and let them fend for themselves." , has this house really become a cat garden? Now that it is a public house, isn’t it just what you want?”
"What's just what you want?" Jin Fengju snorted and curled his lips and said: "Anyway... it's not a male cat. Huh! I didn't expect it to be a male cat. How can you, a woman, raise a male cat... Ouch..." The last few words came out because he was kicked off the bed by Fu Qiuning off guard, so he cried out in pain.
"You... you are so promising. You are even jealous of the old cat." Fu Qiuning gritted his teeth and said: "You are still a Marquis after all. How can you show the magnanimity of a Marquis now? That is a cat, not a man. Could it be that I What else should we pay attention to whether men and women should be intimate with each other?"
Jin Fengju got up, but did not dare to sit on the bed. Instead, he dragged a chair next to the table and sat down, muttering: "What's wrong with the cat? Do you think it has no human thoughts? Then it was not too early or too late. Why did you come in when I just wanted to get close to you? Let me tell you Qiuning, don’t underestimate the intelligence of these cats and dogs, they are not much worse than us people... "
"Okay, okay, don't tell me such nonsense. If people hear it, you will laugh your teeth off." Fu Qiuning shook his head, completely defeated by Jin Fengju. Only now did he know that this man was a rogue. Looks up, really more unreasonable than a child.
