The maid smiled and said: "Grandma, don't worry, the young Marquis is in the court these days, and the prince will take care of him. As long as grandma finds out when he wants to go out and where he goes, then you don't need to do anything else." When the emperor returns to the court, he must ask the young marquis to go outside the city to meet him. Now the person he trusts the most is naturally Prince Rong and the young marquis of the Prince Rong faction, grandma said, right?"
Jiang Wanying nodded and said thoughtfully: "Yes, even when there is no Prince Rong, my cousin is the most trusted person by the emperor. Since he feels that the prince is unreliable, he will naturally be more cautious the closer he gets to the capital, and he will be more cautious when dealing with such a powerful person. If you don't leave it to your cousin, who should you leave it to?"
When the maid heard that she called Jin Fengju her cousin, her eyes flashed with surprise and she said with a smile: "Grandma, it's already this time. Don't waver. The prince sees that great things can come true. You have done all the things before." We have done everything, but if we care about family ties now, we will really fall short of the mark."
Jiang Wanying glanced at her and said displeasedly: "Why do you care about family ties? My cousin treats me like this, what kind of affection do I have..." When she said this, she suddenly woke up and couldn't help but sneered: "You think I called him cousin? Do you still care about family ties? Humph! Don’t you think about it, what was my identity when I married into their family that day? If I hadn’t earned that face for them, would my grandson’s granddaughter be an equal wife? But he was How did they treat me? What can't I do now? If they are unkind to me, do they not allow me to be unjust to them? "
The maid then smiled and said, "Grandma really has a clear distinction between grudges and grudges. That's exactly what she said." Although she said this, she despised Jiang Wanying's words in her heart and said to herself: Bah! Don't sound like you are wronged, forgetting why you were willing to lower your status and get married in the first place? From the very beginning, you came to this house just to be a spy, for this day. At this time, we were beaten again, but fortunately, if Jin Fengju hadn't fallen in love with her and wanted her to completely fall to our side, I'm afraid it wouldn't have been so easy.
*********************
Another half month passed in a hurry, and this day was the day of Han Qixue's wedding. Fu Qiuning had been so busy these days, and on the official day, everyone in the Duke's mansion was even more joyful, as if he was marrying his daughter. Fortunately, after sending the newlyweds to the sedan, Fu Qiuning didn't have to go there, and Jin Yanfang naturally had to follow.
So she went back to the Fengya Building to rest, lying on the couch, and the little maid window grill was beating her legs. In fact, Fu Qiuning felt that it was very sinful. However, she had moved too much in the past two days, and her leg muscles were really in pain, so the window grill When she had to be beaten, she saw that the little maid was eager to give it a try, so she didn't feel unhappy at all, so she allowed her to be beaten.
"Don't tell me, your leg-beating skills are quite good. Where did you learn them?"
Fu Qiuning closed her eyes and enjoyed the service of the window grilles. Naturally, she did not forget to say a few words to make the little girl happy. Sure enough, I heard Chuanghua laugh and say: "I have been learning this from my aunt since I was six years old. I said that if I will be sold to a wealthy family in the future, I will have to do it. If I do it well, I will not be beaten or scolded. I have been learning for several years. After being sold here, the slave knows nothing but a little bit of craftsmanship. But no matter how busy grandma is, she never needs anyone to beat her legs. The slave’s skills are useless. She finally looked at such an opportunity. Grandma Just lie down and let me do this for you, and I will make sure your legs don't hurt at all tonight."
Fu Qiuning opened his eyes, looked at her pretty little face with a smile, and said with a smile: "So, I have underestimated you in the past. I only treat you as a little maid and let you do those chores, but I have compromised your great talent. ..." Before she could finish speaking, she saw Qiu Yu coming over, pursed her lips and smiled: "Grandma, what you said is really right, but doesn't it mean you are giving in to your talents? Listen to her mouth, it's like Bendou'er Yes, luckily she is only thirteen years old. If she had been two years older, Jian Feng and I would have made trouble for her to be such a big girl."
Chuanghua stuck out her tongue, knowing that everyone in this Fengya Building was kind and it didn't matter if she made jokes or anything like that, so she was not afraid of Qiu Yu and raised her little face and said: "Sister, what you said really speaks to my heart, but it's not There is no need to worry that I will take away your position. In two years, won’t Sister Jian Feng and Sister still be worthy of someone else? When you leave, I will naturally be the elder statesman in this Fengya Building, not just the big girl."
Qiu Yu angrily poked her finger on her forehead and said bitterly to Fu Qiuning: "Grandma, listen to her words, are you going to be so crazy? Don't worry, just to prevent you from becoming a big girl, I will still be the one in this life." If you stay in Fengya Building and don't leave, you won't get what you want."
Chuanghua stuck out her tongue and made a face, which made Fu Qiuning laugh. Suddenly, she heard footsteps outside, and then the door curtain opened. Jin Zangfeng and others walked in. Jin Zhanyi jumped over like a monkey, holding Fu Qiuning's arm and smiling. Said: "Mom, Aunt Han got married today, will we have a big pot of food to eat again? I'm thinking about the taste."
Fu Qiuning shook his head and smiled: "You greedy cat, what are you thinking about? Your Aunt Han didn't marry into a small family. The other party is also the son of an earl. Naturally, he is Yanqixi. How can there be such a big man in the countryside? Pot dish? If you want to eat it, when your father is free later, let’s ask him to invite the master chef into the house and cook two big pot meals, okay?”
When Jin Zhenyi first heard that there was no such thing as big pot rice, he couldn't help but pout, but after hearing that, he was very happy. He clapped his hands and said, "I just went to see Aunt Han off. When I came back, I saw a rabbit, so I went to chase the rabbit. Then I saw my father sneaking into the royal garden. I don't know what he was doing..."
Before he could finish speaking, Fu Qiuning felt a chill in his heart. He quickly interrupted and said with a smile: "Winter is coming. Last time, the old lady said she wanted to enjoy the snow. Who would have thought that there was a strong north wind and it didn't snow. Now it's very cold." It's the end of the month, and I thought there would be a heavy snowfall soon, so your father looked around the house to see if there was any place to enjoy the snow besides Hongyun Temple. By the way, have you caught that rabbit? ?”
Jin Zhenyi asked her to change the subject, and then said dejectedly: "That rabbit was too cunning. It got into the rockery and disappeared after a few clicks. In fact, I didn't want to kill it for meat. I just wanted to Just catch it and keep it for fun. My second sister asked my second sister to take my cat, so I just wanted to catch a rabbit."
Fu Qiuning smiled and said: "This is easy. The New Year's gifts from each village will be sent soon, including pheasants, rabbits, cranes and other toys. I will let you pick a pair when the time comes." Because he gently and skillfully removed the topic, the whole house No one inside noticed Jin Fengju in the previous topic.
In the evening, Jin Fengju came back to his room. After the love affair, Fu Qiuning lazily said, "Are you going to see the emperor today?"
Jin Fengju suddenly shuddered and whispered: "Qiu Ning, how did you know? Could it be that you saw me before?"
Fu Qiuning shook his head and said, "Why aren't you more careful? It wasn't me who saw you, it was Brother Yi." After telling him what Jin Zhenyi said, Jin Fengju breathed a sigh of relief, shook his head and said, "This little bastard." After thinking about it, He thought again: "I haven't been to that garden for so many days, and no one has noticed any signs. I only saw the signal yesterday, and then I passed by. Yi'er is small and he was among the rockeries, so I didn't see him. But in this way, once someone sees it again, some associations will inevitably arise. At such a critical moment, no mistakes are allowed. Why don't I take you to the garden tomorrow to cover up."
Fu Qiuning hesitated and said: "Would this be self-defeating and add another layer to the problem? What if people think there is something wrong with you..."
Before he could finish speaking, Jin Fengju shook his head and said: "No, because of your shoulder injury, you haven't been out much for more than half a month. Even if you are planning Miss Han's marriage, they only come to you, and I have been here all these days. I ignored you again and took you to play in the garden. This is only natural. Once someone saw us yesterday and knew that we were going, they relieved their suspicions and thought that I had gone there to make some preparations in advance to ask for your favor. Happy."
Fu Qiuning nodded and said: "Okay, let's leave it like that. But when will the emperor come forward? Fortunately, the old man is locked in the garden every day, so he doesn't feel bored."
Jin Fengju smiled and said: "Feeling bored in the garden? How is that possible? The old man is on the battlefield in the north, nowhere can he be as safe and comfortable as here. But it's coming soon. It happens to be my wife's birthday in a month. She likes to do good deeds. , except for birthday celebrations, there are no banquets at home. Every year at this time, my mother goes to the Buddhist temple to worship Buddha, and then gives some money to the beggars. On that day, you and the children accompany your mother there, and I will escort you Your reason is that I will go to the Buddhist temple with you after the court..."
Before he could finish speaking, he was interrupted by Fu Qiuning, who said in surprise: "Could it be that I want to lure the snake out of its hole? For such a big battle, do you want to report the news to the prince through Wan Er's mistress? But what if he doesn't? If I give you a chance to lure him out of the hole, and then arrest you in advance for any reason, wouldn’t all these plans be in vain?”
