From the fact that the emperor came here secretly, we can know that the emperor is not only defensive and wary of the prince, but must have made up his mind to abolish him. To attract the old man to do this, the prince must have done something before. This It is a critical moment for the succession. Whether Prince Rong can ascend the throne, the future and life of the Jin family can be said to be all tied here.
Taking a deep breath, Jin Fengju tried his best to relax his expression and entered Yongcui Garden. Not far ahead was Fengya Building. When he came to the door and saw the bright lights inside, he suddenly felt warm in his heart. , as if even the thousand-jin burden has been reduced a bit.
Walking into the courtyard gate casually, several little maids saw it and hurriedly lifted the curtain and said slightly happily: "Master is back?"
"Yes." Jin Fengju nodded, and when he heard bursts of faint laughter coming from the back hall, he asked, "Who is here at this time?"
The two little maids smiled and said, "It's my aunt, my aunt Mei, and the cousin from the Feng family. They came here just now and haven't left yet."
Jin Fengju nodded, stepped through the door, turned around the screen, and saw Aunt Fu Qiuning, Jin Yanfangmei, and Aunt Luo sitting together in the back hall, talking and laughing, but the beautiful cousin girl was nowhere to be seen, and she didn't know where she had gone.
Seeing him coming back, everyone stood up. Jin Yanfang smiled and said: "Second brother really cares about my sister-in-law. Now, just after dinner, I guess you went to the study in front or met your uncle, so I came here to say Talk about it, you have long legs, and you are back now. Even if a husband and wife are in love, they won’t be in love to this extent, right?"
Jin Fengju laughed and said, "You yourself have been an uninvited guest, but instead you kicked me out and blamed me. Isn't there a place for reason in this world?" Before he finished speaking, everyone was already laughing. Fu Qiuning then said: "While we were in Quanzhou, two happy events happened in this family. Both girls of the Feng family married their husbands, and now the cousin is also going out, so my sister came to discuss the dowry with me. But Miss Han went to the Cangjiao room. It turned out that she also likes cats, so she went to see the cats. "
Jin Fengju and Fu Qiuning knew about the marriage of the two girls from the Feng family, and it was clearly mentioned in the family letter that day. Now that I heard that Miss Han was getting married and had another worry, Jin Fengju nodded and said, "Okay, you can help Yan Fang come up with some ideas on this matter. They are both young ladies with a rough life experience. The dowry should be generous, and her husband’s family must not let it be underestimated.”
Jin Yanfang smiled and said: "I knew that the second brother was the best. In fact, having a golden name like you is enough. Who dares to underestimate them? When the two sisters came back last month, the husband personally came to see them off. After the old lady and My wife is very courteous and well-behaved in front of me. They also said that my husband's family treats me well. This is of course because they behave well, but more importantly, it is related to our family's face. Now that Sister Han is getting married, so is the choice. My wife and my mother are both attracted to her, I don’t believe anything can go wrong, and the dowry doesn’t need to be so generous.”
Jin Fengju smiled and said, "Come on, please act stingy and be a good person in front of me now. If your sister-in-law is really harsh on Miss Han, I'm afraid you won't scold us in your heart." After saying that, Jin Yanfang stretched out her fist to hit him, He said bitterly: "You really don't act like a brother. You arranged for my sister like this. Sister-in-law, you have to beat him for me."
Fu Qiuning hurriedly made a haha to get rid of the topic, but she was not in the mood to joke. As soon as Jin Fengju entered the door, although there was a smile on her face, she noticed that the expression on her face was wrong, because she was secretly wondering in her heart at the moment. If you know what the other person has done or who he has met, there are very few things that can change his face. Even if he does, it will take such a long time for him to recover.
Then I heard Aunt Luo ask: "I just saw water leaking out of the front yard, and now the firelight is low. I wonder if there is any damage?"
"Oh?" Jin Fengju was stunned for a moment, and then he realized that he had asked Jin Ming to arrange this matter in order to hide it from others, so he hurriedly smiled and said: "Fortunately, it was discovered in time and has been destroyed. Auntie, don't worry. .”
At this time, Miss Han came out with the cat in her arms and said happily to Jin Yanfang: "Sister-in-law, look, this cat is so cute. The name 'Dandian' given by the elder girl is really the most appropriate. Look at this, It’s not just black and white and speckled.”
After she finished speaking, she saw Jin Fengju standing there. She couldn't help but exclaimed, her face flushed, and then she quickly saluted. Jin Fengju also quickly returned the salute. Jin Yanfang stood up and said, "Okay, let's go back, sister. If you want to see the cat, let’s come back tomorrow morning. Now that the second brother is back, how can my sister-in-law be in the mood to receive us... "
Before he could finish speaking, Fu Qiuning said bitterly: "Okay, just now you asked me to beat your second brother for you, but now it seems that the more serious thing is to beat you." After that, he and Aunt Luo and Aunt Yu waited to beat the couple in person. After being sent out, she watched her mother and Aunt Luo go back to the room. Then she came to Jin Fengju and asked in a low voice: "What is the matter with Jin Ming looking for you? You look so scared. Why should he follow you like this?" After so many years, normal things won’t surprise you like that, right?”
Jin Fengju forced a smile and said softly: "What else can there be? That slave is also doing old things, but now he can't keep calm. When he saw water leaking in the front yard, he panicked and came to repay me, waiting for me to rush over. At that time, the fire was a little bigger, but fortunately the servants were well-trained and put it out quickly. How about it? Didn't it scare you?"
When he said this, Fu Qiuning knew that her husband must be hiding something from her. This matter should obviously not be leaked. Even if the entire Jingguo Palace was burned down, as long as no lives were hurt, her husband would not be still alive until now. He couldn't help but look pale, but without a mirror, he probably didn't know that he was still looking pale right now
Since Jin Fengju didn't tell her, Fu Qiuning didn't ask any more questions. She knew very well that if there was something she should be told, Jin Fengju would never hide it. Just because you don't ask doesn't mean you don't guess in your heart. Everyone has curiosity. As he was taking off his makeup in front of the mirror, he was thinking secretly, thinking that the thing that would make Jin Fengju hide it from him and make him so shocked must not be trivial. Either it is about Prince Rong, or there is some big news on the prince's side. But this is not the case, because although Jin Fengju's face is pale, his expression is not very ugly, which shows that it is not an unforeseen disaster. And there should not be any trouble with Prince Rong. In that case, since the husband knows, there is no reason that the princess does not know, and the princess knows, there is no reason that Mr. Jingguo and Mrs. Jiang do not know, then he will not hide it from him Well, what on earth is going on? Could there be anyone more important than these two people? Unless he is the emperor...
When Fu Qiuning thought of this, the hand that lowered the hairpin ring couldn't help but froze, and then continued pretending to be nonchalant. Jin Fengju was so preoccupied that he naturally did not notice her subtle movement.
If it was the emperor, then all this would be logical. Could it be that the emperor was here in person? But why can't it be made public
Fu Qiuning followed the route of palace battles and political dramas, and actually guessed what happened: If the emperor came secretly in person, it meant that he was wary of the prince, and it was not just as simple as being wary, but here At this time, he chose to come to the mansion, which means that he fully trusts Jin Fengju and the Jin family. Jin Fengju and the Jin family are the best friends of Prince Rong. In this way, doesn't the future situation have been settled? Well, you can’t say that. The prince can’t just sit still and wait for death. If the emperor really comes, then he might be forcing him... "
In just a short while, Fu Qiuning had already made up a bloody palace drama in her mind, similar to the Nine Dragons Seizing the Progeny. She was quite satisfied with her talent as a screenwriter. Her only regret was that she, the heroine, and Jin Fengju, the hero, were There is no blood to be spilled, which makes this lively palace drama less lively. If you include the five years when you were an abandoned wife, well, those five years can't be regarded as slander. In addition to the difficulty of life, when has Wanfengxuan been less filled with laughter? How can anyone's bloody plot have the tears in the wind, sorrow for the moon, and unforgettable love? As for being lovesick from time to time, holding his heart in his hands and vomiting blood, there is no way out. Even when he saw Jin Fengju five years later, it took him a while to remember his name.
Or maybe, he and Jin Fengju are not the heroine and the hero, but Princess Rong and Prince Rong. What a wonderful plot. The woman who keeps a brothel is still the daughter of a guilty minister, and she has a child. After Prince Rong ascends the throne, it will be a ready-made legend of Zhen Huan. However, if you think about the character of Princess Rong carefully, the whole story is like Wang Xifeng. Think again about the brothel girl Jin Fengju mentioned. She is definitely Second Sister You. If two people are fighting in the palace, they are not qualified to fight in the house...
The more she thought about it, the happier she became. She desperately tried to find out what was wrong with this palace drama. In the end, she found that only the miserable Prince Hong, who was driven to Shandong on the eve of the Mid-Autumn Festival, could barely count. When she thought of this, she became happier and happier. , I couldn't help but laugh out loud.
Jin Fengju was also full of worries at this time. Suddenly he heard Fu Qiuning giggling there. He couldn't help but come back to his senses and asked doubtfully: "Qiu Ning, what are you laughing at?"
"Ah? Did I laugh?" Fu Qiuning stuck out his tongue, secretly thinking that something was wrong and he was overthinking it. Yin then stood up and said: "It's nothing, I just remembered a joke, so I couldn't help laughing."
Jin Fengju leaned against the bedpost and said, "Oh? What kind of joke? How can a calm person like you find it funny? Tell me."
