Kick me away)

*************************

Jin Fengju hadn't been this happy for a long time. Even when the storytellers told jokes, he would always just smile lightly. At this time, he was laughing so hard that he didn't even care about his usual noble and cold image. He had to work hard to hold the two children, and kept saying "ouch" in his mouth: "I don't know the east, west, north, and south. I just forced myself to go forward, backward, left, and right, just like a road idiot." The couplet was criticized. It's all there. Thank God for bringing the three of you together. Fortunately, I was afraid of something happening, so I came here to pick you up. Otherwise, I'd be afraid that you would still be in this house when the banquet begins. Just wandering around." As he said this, he put the two children down and came to Fu Qiuning.

"How dare you say that? You don't even think about who caused us to be like this." In anger, Fu Qiuning also forgot to pretend to be graceful and gentle, and glared at Jin Fengju with apricot eyes, then snorted and turned away.

Jin Fengju was stunned for a moment, then he laughed again, unfolded his folding fan and waved his hands slowly, thinking that although Fu's appearance was ordinary, his smile and anger were so charming, which made my heart flutter. Thinking in his heart, he naturally did not show such emotion on his face, and said with a smile: "If you want to call for punishment, you can find the culprit who took your flowers and plants to ask for credit in front of the ancestors, but they have nothing to do with me. Let's go. , I will take you to Kangshouyuan."

As he spoke, he lowered his head to look at what Jin Zangfeng and Jin Zangjiao were wearing, frowned and said, "Why didn't they wear the dragon and phoenix jade pendants I gave them? If they don't wear them on such an occasion, when would they wear them?" After finishing speaking, Fu Qiuning said calmly: "Why aren't you wearing them? Aren't they on your neck? These jade pendants are too expensive, why bother attracting attention? So I told them to just wear them on their necks."

"Do you think you are so eye-catching?" Jin Fengju sneered. He knelt down in person and took off the dragon and phoenix jade pendants for Jin Zangfeng and Jin Zangjiao, then tied them around his waist. He then said to Jin Ming behind him: "I asked him to The two long-life locks you gave Feng'er Jiaoer just delivered yesterday. They are in my study, so you quickly go and get them." After saying that, Jin Ming took the order and left, and then he looked at On Fu Qiuning's head, he said displeasedly: "Why don't you use the box of jewelry I gave you? The styles of these jewelry have long been outdated, and you are not afraid of people laughing at you."

"I don't want to show off." Fu Qiuning replied lightly, thinking that it's better to be old. If I dress up in a fancy way, I don't know how I can make your wives and concubines jealous.

Jin Fengju also understood the meaning of her words, so he just smiled and stopped talking. In a moment, Jin Ming came back with the Longevity Lock, but there were two yellow gold necklaces, with a heavy gold lock hanging in the middle, with exquisite patterns and blessings and auspicious words engraved on it. Jin Fengju personally took it and put it on Jin Zangfeng and Jin Zangjiao, and then stood up and looked at it carefully. He smiled and said, "That's enough. It's not as plain as before." After saying this, he held the hands of the two children. , we should go to Kangshouyuan first.

At that time, only the wife of the second master, Jin Shi, Fang, her daughter-in-law He and their three children were in the Kangshou Yuan. Most of the others had not arrived yet. Seeing Fu Qiuning coming, everyone was surprised in their hearts, but did not show any signs of it on their faces. Fu Qiuning took the children and saluted one by one. Fang and He also stood up and returned the salute. Then the little maid brought a futon, and Fu Qiuning and his two children knelt on the futon to kowtow to the old lady. Of course, Fu Qiuning also wanted to curse the evil feudal social system.

"Get up."

Mrs. Jin gave the order lightly. After the three of them got up, they looked carefully and saw that Fu Qiuning was wearing an 80% new gauze skirt. Although the fabric was extremely ordinary, the style was quite novel and unique. This was Fu Qiuning. I designed it based on some modern costumes, how can it not be novel? Fortunately, the color is light and there are no embellishments, so it is not conspicuous in the crowd. Looking at her appearance, although she is just a middle-aged girl, she is very gentle and quiet, with her head lowered and eyes closed, neither humble nor arrogant. The old lady had a favorable impression in her heart. Then he waved his hand and said: "I haven't seen you much on weekdays. Come and sit down. Let the two children come to me. They are old and their eyesight is a little blurry. If these two little ones don't come over, I can't see clearly. .”

Fu Qiuning felt strange, secretly wondering if reading glasses hadn't appeared yet at this time? But it’s almost the same. In our time, flower mirrors only appeared in the middle of the Qing Dynasty. In "Yongzheng Dynasty", Tong Guowei was given a flower mirror by Emperor Kangxi, and he was so beautiful. It can be seen that at that time, flower glasses were still a rare thing. Moreover, in this fictional era, it was not known that trade with foreign countries was very frequent, so it was normal to not have flower glasses.

Thinking in her mind, she brought Jin Zangfeng brother and sister to the old lady. She did not actually sit on the kang, but stood silently aside.

"Grandson, please give my regards to grandma." When they arrived in front of the old lady, Jin Zangfeng and Jin Zangjiao knelt down on one knee again, but were immediately pulled up. Old Mrs. Jin held the hands of the two little ones, took one look at them, and said with a surprised smile: "Sure enough, he looks very similar to Feng Ju when he was a child, only a little bit different." After that, he said to Jin Fengju: "Later. Your mother is here, why is she so frightened when she sees two children? Look, look, they look like they were carved out of the same mold as you, and the difference is nothing."

Jin Fengju smiled and said: "My grandson is going to invite his wife, so he will go first." After saying that, he came to Fu Qiuning and said softly: "You stay here first, I will come over soon. Don't worry, no one will embarrass you. Use There’s no need to shrink back.”

Fu Qiuning thought, which of your eyes saw me shrinking back? Am I being neither humble nor arrogant? Why is she ranked second in the rankings? She can't even use an adjective. But his face was gentle and he replied: "Yes, I understand. Young Lord Marquis, please feel free to go."

Fang's mother-in-law and daughter-in-law looked on, nodding secretly, thinking that although this first wife was not outstanding in appearance, her behavior and speech were a bit gentler than that of the second grandmother, the lady of the family. Looking at her calmness, she didn't look like a concubine, but more like a concubine. Like a legitimate daughter.

Over there, Mrs. Jin had already taken the two children’s hands and asked them to sit on the kang, and asked them what books they usually read. What do you like to eat? Who makes the clothes? Who takes care of daily life? At this time, Jin Zangfeng and Jin Zangjiao had completely lost their liveliness in Wanfengxuan. They were like two little adults, answering the old lady's questions unhurriedly, and every word was very appropriate. Occasionally they said The two sweet words coaxed the old lady to smile. Although she didn't say anything, she said in her heart: No wonder even Feng Ju praised these two children. They are indeed well-behaved and sensible, and it's even rarer that they are so young. He has a calm temperament for his age, and seems to be good at reading. It seems that Mrs. Fu is really dedicated to teaching these two children. It was not in vain for Fengju to take on some trouble for her.

As he was talking, he heard a burst of laughter faintly coming from outside. Fu Qiuning thought that this was similar to what was described in Dream of Red Mansions. Sure enough, all the inner houses of Fuguimen were similar, with treasures, chai, jade, Xifeng and other kinds of decorations. Such characters, but I don’t know who I am among them? Hey, who else could I be? Naturally, it can only be me, Fang Chuyu in the previous life, and Fu Qiuning in this life. (To be continued)
