Everyone joked for a while, and the old queen asked about Jin Fengju's situation in Quanzhou. Although Fu Qiuning knew that killing Japanese pirates was difficult, she had not seen it with her own eyes, so she only talked about the process lightly and only picked out interesting things. Let’s talk. For example, when they moved to the government office that day, the woman's behavior at the door was not considered vulgar to the ears of these noble people, but only interesting. This was not Fu Qiuning's intention to harm the woman. In fact, she wanted the Queen Mother and these concubines to understand the difficulties and corruption of Quanzhou officials. Sure enough, after everyone laughed, they heard that the officials Fu Qiuning mentioned were all Compliments.
He also talked about the process of getting acquainted with the old cat and the litter of kittens, as well as the heroic deeds of the old cat in killing the Japanese savior. Everyone seemed to have heard about a book, and their hearts were rising and falling along with Fu Qiuning's story. After finally waiting for Fu Qiuning to finish speaking, Concubine Lian sighed: "Empress Dowager, no wonder people say that it is better to travel thousands of miles than to read thousands of books. How can we know about these things outside when we are in the palace? Listening to those storytellers are all so exciting. , I just felt that this was the life of ordinary people, but now after listening to Mrs. Fu’s words, I realized that the real life outside is even more exciting than those stories."
The Queen Mother nodded. She actually knew that Jin Fengju had received the Wanmin Umbrella when he left in Quanzhou. However, seeing that Fu Qiuning didn't mention it at all, she couldn't help but secretly praise her, secretly thinking that it's not like a family doesn't stay in the same house. This Fu family is steady and peaceful. It matches Feng Ju very well. Although the girl from the Jiang family is also very nice, compared to Mrs. Fu, she is always less steady and modest, and too public.
Because the Queen Mother was happy, she kept Fu Qiuning for lunch before letting her go back to her residence. After returning home, Jin Fengju naturally didn't come back, so he went to Kangshou Courtyard to sit down again. This time, he told the story about the old cat. Old Mrs. Jin and Mrs. Jiang knew that there was such a loyal and brave cat, and they were busy. Fu Qiuning called for a hug and saw that the old cat was nearly twice the size of an ordinary cat. Everyone was amazed. According to the old lady’s wishes, they wanted to keep him here and raise him as a companion. However, Fu Qiuning was afraid of the old cat. The cat had a wild temper and did not dare to stay after all, because he smiled and said: "If the old lady wants to raise a cat, I will let you pick one after the children's cats grow up. I think those cats are similar to domestic cats and have different personalities." It's very docile, so I feel relieved to have it here. I'd better take care of this old cat myself."
Mrs. Jin didn't force herself. She kept Fu Qiuning talking for a while and then let her go.
Walking back to Fengya Building, they could see the autumn colors everywhere. Fu Qiuning couldn't help but sigh with Jian Feng for a while. When they were about to reach Fengya Building, they heard bursts of noise coming from the front. The two looked at each other, both of them surprised. Knowing what had happened, he quickly walked a few steps into the courtyard, only to see the maids and women here. A little maid was arguing with Qiu Yu, while Yu Niang stood beside them, her face flushed with tears in her eyes. .
"What's going on?"
Hearing Fu Qiuning's voice, the servants turned around quickly and got out of the way. Fu Qiuning and Jian Feng walked through the crowd and came to Qiu Yu and the little maid. They looked up and down. Fu Qiuning looked at Qiu Yu. He said in a deep voice: "Whatever matters should be settled in the house, why come out and make a fuss?"
Qiu Yu's face turned red and she quickly said, "Grandma, are you a slave?"
Fu Qiuning said calmly: "Let's talk inside the house." After saying that, he glanced at the people. These people knew that Second Grandma Ning was always kind, but if something happened, she would never be a face to face, because they didn't wait for her to speak. , he lowered his head and slipped away quietly.
Several people entered the room, and Qiu Yu said: "Grandma, this little maid named Shui'er is really going to rebel. I didn't expect her to have such a method. Earlier, Sister Yuniang came over, and the slave girl was busy outside. , because my sister and grandma are familiar with each other, and these things are still being cleaned up in the main room outside, so the slave girl asked her sister to wait outside grandma’s bedroom. Someone was arranging to serve tea here, when she heard Sister Yuniang calling, and when the slave girl rushed there , Sister Yuniang said that this little bitch was rummaging through things in the bedroom. I asked her if it was true? She just cried, and then ran out, yelling that I was biased. It was clearly Yuniang who was rummaging through things and she saw it. , but I always prefer Sister Yuniang."
Fu Qiuning was angry, but she didn't show it on her face. She just looked at Shui'er and sneered: "Say what you said before." After saying that, she saw Yu Niang coming forward to argue, so she waved her hand to signal. She didn't have to worry, Yu Niang also knew her grandmother's methods, so she stepped aside.
The little maid named Shui'er became timid at this time, and stammered: "Slave... I was passing by the bedroom and heard a sound inside. Slave... I felt strange and looked out of the window. As a result... I saw her looking through grandma's cabinet, and the slave girl ran in... to catch... to catch her, but she shouted first, and Miss Qiuyu came in, asking me questions indiscriminately, slave girl... the slave girl knew their feelings. The profundity is not comparable to that of a slave, so I went out to yell. I have no other intention, but... I just want this justice."
"You... you are such a confusing girl. At such a young age, you... you are so evil-hearted. It was obvious that I heard a noise in the room when I entered the house. When I went in, I saw you rummaging through the box..." Yuniang was angry and pointed. The little maid yelled, she had heard from her mother-in-law yesterday about Fu Qiuning's return, but the child was sick and couldn't leave her body. She also thought that when she just came back, everyone must be busy, so she didn't come over, but she was always worried about it, so Early this morning, after watching her child take medicine and fall asleep, she asked her husband to watch her at home while she went to Fengya Building. Unexpectedly, she encountered such a thing.
"Yu Niang, please be patient." Fu Qiuning said lightly, then looked at Shui'er and said, "You really have a sharp mouth. At such a moment, it's hard for you to be so anxious that you come up with such an idea that confuses right and wrong. It's just that After all, you are young, and you made up the lie in haste. There are so many loopholes here that I don’t even want to count them. I just ask you, since you saw Yu Niang stealing things outside the window, why didn’t you call someone, but you were so embarrassed? Run into the house?”
Shui'er was stunned for a moment, and then said quickly: "My slave... I was afraid that she would run away, so I went in by myself first..."
"You know it's nonsense. Since you're afraid that Yu Niang will run away, it's more important to call the talented person. This will not delay you from entering the house to catch her. Don't tell me that you forgot. Since you reacted immediately, you can't let Yu Niang run away. Wow, you are so smart, how could you forget such a thing?"
Shui'er couldn't answer for a while, her mind was spinning with ideas, and she wanted to make some more quibbles, when she saw Fu Qiuning stood up and said: "There are still a few loopholes, I will convince you when I tell them, I just asked like that Come on, it seems that I have made Lady Jade suspicious. It’s not worth it for a rip-off like you. Don’t think you can get away with it. It’s not just this time that the cabinets in my Fengya Building were messed up. During those times My son, Lady Yu is not here at all because she is pregnant, so I know that this matter has nothing to do with her. Qiu Yu, go and call Manager Lin’s wife to come over and kick her out. Fengya Building does not allow such concubines to be left here. ghost."
After all, Fu Qiuning had traveled through time, so she was not used to lynching. Moreover, when she saw that Shui'er was only thirteen or fourteen years old, although she hated his behavior, there was still a trace of pity left in her heart. What did such a child know? Let her be coerced and lured, and she will naturally give in. It doesn't matter, just treat her as a lesson this time, so that she can have a better memory when she goes to work elsewhere in the future. "
"Grandma, this little bitch has committed so many crimes. I still don't know who is behind her and what she is looking for. Isn't it inappropriate to just throw her out like this?" Qiu Yu asked in shock, but Fu Qiuning But he knew very well that Jin Fengju didn't want to expose Aunt Huo and Jiang Wanying at this time, and wanted to keep them as chess pieces. Although there were two spies, after getting rid of one, there was still one left. It's just that the two women are connected by the same spirit. Once one is eliminated, the other will naturally become suspicious, so it's better to keep both together.
So he said calmly: "Who else could be in charge? The little girl is short-sighted. This is just because she is greedy and wants to steal something. Qiu Yu, just do as I tell you."
Since it was the master who spoke, Qiu Yu didn't dare to have any questions. Although she felt angry, she still followed her instructions. Here Fu Qiuning pulled Yu Niang to sit down and said with a smile: "You too, you have been following me for several years, why can't I still trust you? Looking at the way your face was flushed with anxiety just now, are you still afraid that I have really wronged you? "
Yu Niang smiled sheepishly: "It's not that I don't believe grandma, it's just that that little girl is really hateful. I was framed by her and I'm really angry. I know grandma is always kind, but Qiu Yu's concerns are not unreasonable. What's wrong with grandma?" Just indulge her easily?"
Fu Qiuning coughed and saw that there was no one else around, so he whispered: "Have you forgotten what I said to you and Yujie that day? Well, you don't need to worry about this matter. Anyway, I know it well. Yes, why don't you Bring the child over here? The little guy must have grown up, right? Well, if you think about it, I have been walking for half a year, can I almost walk? "
Yuniang smiled and said: "Yes, I have just been able to stumble a few steps, and I can call you daddy. I can't say anything else yet, but I am just naughty. I caught a cold while playing the night before, otherwise I I just wanted to come here. Firstly, he was not feeling well and his grandma couldn't coax him. Secondly, I thought that grandma had just come back and the house must be very busy. I haven't been here for a long time, but I just came over. I can't help but add to the chaos. . This morning he drank medicine and fell asleep. I asked his father to watch and then took the time to come over. When he gets better, I will naturally bring him to see grandma. Once he is familiar with this place, he can give it to the girl when he is older. My brothers have become servants, or when grandma has a young master or young lady, she can also serve... "
