As he spoke, he came to the study room and saw that it was also very simple. Apart from a few bookshelves filled with books and papers, and a few tables and chairs, there was nothing else. Mrs. Jiang secretly nodded in her mind, thinking that her son finally had some potential and did not let this woman be fascinated by him. Maybe he came here just because his son and daughter had potential. Jin Zangfeng peeled sweet potatoes for her just now. Even if she didn't like to see her grandson, she liked it a little at that moment. If he is like this, what's more, his son and these two children are still close relatives
Just as she was thinking about it, she suddenly heard a scream from Aunt Huo, pointing to the paperweight on the table and saying, "This... why did this thing get here?" Because the table was in the corner, Mrs. Jiang and Jiang Wanying didn't notice it for a while. At this time, Aunt Huo called out, and suddenly saw her, and her face sank involuntarily.
Fu Qiuning was also shocked, secretly wondering, why did he forget to put away these two eye-catching things. It was too late to clean up at this time. Fortunately, Jin Zangfeng and Jin Zangjiao were both talking to the old lady in the small hall, so she wondered: "Is there anything unusual about this thing? I brought it here for you." It's used by two children. I don't know much about it. I just think it looks good and the quality of the jade seems to be good. Why is my sister so surprised?"
Both Huo and Xu looked a little pale, but Jiang Wanying had a smile on her face and said, "Sister, have I not told you the origin of these two things? Jade is delicate and warm, and it is the top grade among jade carvings. That's all. The most precious thing is that this is a gift from the emperor. On that day, when all the nations came to pay tribute, gifts were brought up. When the emperor saw this pair of jade lions, he immediately praised our father for his great contribution to the Ning Dynasty. , just like a lion next to him, so he gave it to me. He liked it very much, so Xuaner asked him for it twice, but he didn’t give it to him. He told me a few days ago that he gave it to someone, but I thought he gave it to him. Who, but it turned out that he was sent to my sister."
Jiang Wanying said with a faint smile, while Mrs. Jiang and Aunt Huo and Aunt Xu looked even more ugly. However, it was given by Jin Fengju himself, and they had nothing to say, so they just snorted and left the study.
At last Mrs. Jin was not too old and confused. Just by looking at Mrs. Jiang's expressions, she knew that they must have discovered something again. Even she could hear the sourness and anger in her words. Fu Qiuning just lowered his head and listened, occasionally answering. That indifferent look made the old lady couldn't help but think of her own demeanor back then. I think back then, she was also dealing with her mother-in-law, sister-in-law and concubine family. Everyone said that she was virtuous and could be bullied. She would spoil her concubine and destroy her wife after only a few days of talk. But in the end, it was she who gained a firm foothold in the family. Got the last laugh.
Seeing Aunt Xu and Aunt Huo becoming more and more arrogant, the old lady was amused and secretly thought, do you still think Mrs. Fu is afraid? But I don’t know that she just doesn’t want to meet you. Fortunately, she was born in a wealthy family, but she didn't even have such a small amount of success.
Thinking of this, he stood up and said: "That's all, I originally thought of coming here quietly today and having another meal. I didn't expect you all to come here. There are so many dozens of people. It's so overwhelming." How are we going to prepare our meals? I'm afraid it will disturb us now, but the master is already impatient. Don't be indifferent. Let's go back now. But don't forget to bring the sweet potatoes."
Fu Qiuning smiled and said: "What did our ancestors say? It's time to kill my grandson's daughter-in-law. It's still early. Even if I sit here for a while, I'll be fine. Although I don't have much delicacies here, there's still plenty of simple food..." Before he could finish speaking, he Old Mrs. Jin waved her hands and said with a smile: "That's all, I want to come here a few more times. If you are disgusted now, how can you come here in the future? I know you have a good calculation in your heart, and you are looking forward to a simple meal. I'll send it off and I won't bother you in the future, hey, don't even think about it."
What he said made everyone laugh, so they hurriedly prepared a spring stool and helped the old lady to sit up. Here Jiang Wanying smiled and said to Fu Qiuning: "Sister, you are so lucky to have such two worthy children. I'm going to go to the clan school in a few days. It's just a pity that I'm not my biological child after all. But as the saying goes, there's no greater benefit than nurturing kindness? So sister doesn't have to worry. It's just that Wanfengxuan is remote, or am I Tell me, it would be better to let my sister enter the backyard early so that I can take care of her, don’t you think?"
Fu Qiuning hurriedly said a few words of no thanks in a humble manner, and finally sent her away. He watched the crowd surrounding Old Mrs. Jin gradually go away until she entered the Yongcui Garden, never to be seen again. Fu Qiuningfang smiled bitterly and said: "Old lady, old lady, what kind of song are you singing? Even your grandson promised me not to enter the backyard and grow old in peace. How can you not see me hiding alone in peace and quiet?"
"What did mother say?" Jin Zangfeng and Jinzang Jiaoyujie didn't hear Fu Qiuning's soliloquy clearly, so they hurriedly asked, but they saw her shaking her head and saying: "It's nothing, I'm a little tired." So the two children He immediately stepped forward and said, "Mom, are you tired? Come on, go into the house, and we will help you beat your legs."
"Two flatterers." Fu Qiuning couldn't help laughing and poked each of the two little guys with one finger: "Don't think you can hide it from me. Go back to the study to study. Previously, because my wife was waiting for me, I didn't write a few big words. Are you out? Go and finish today's mission. I don't need you to worry about it. It's just that the white jade lion is too eye-catching. Hide it carefully, lest you brothers and sisters come over to play next time and accidentally fall it again. If it’s broken, you won’t be able to find a place to cry when the time comes.”
When the two children heard what their mother said, they were so frightened that they ran into the study and hid the white jade lion. Here Fu Qiuning returned to the room, and the more she thought about it, the more elusive she became at what Old Mrs. Jin meant. She had only been exposed to Jin Fengju for a few years. Although she knew that Jin Fengju was powerful, she was not as good as Mrs. Old Mrs. Jin, who had watched him grow up since she was a child. Sun Lianxin had long seen through that it was impossible for the other party to let Fu Qiuning live in Wanfengxuan forever, so that was why he acted like this. So I just leaned on the pillow and thought about it, but I couldn't figure it out no matter how hard I tried. I was really puzzled.
Sighing, he picked up the red needlework beside him and continued to embroider. However, he accidentally pricked his hand because he was so absorbed in contemplation. He shivered in pain. As soon as he threw down the embroidery bandage, he saw a figure flash in front of him, and then a familiar voice came. Come: "Why are you so careless? Did you get stuck? Does it hurt? Don't move, just suck the blood." But Jin Fengju came over at some point, and it seemed to be more painful than Fu Qiuning, Grabbing the green jade finger, he tried to put it into his mouth.
Fu Qiuning was almost stunned with fright. Only then did he react and said quickly: "You don't have to worry about it, little Marquis. I'll do it myself." After saying that, he pulled his finger away and sucked it in his mouth. After all, the needle hole was too small. It'll be fine once the pain passes. Jin Fengju seemed to have just realized that he had lost his composure. He chuckled, sat down on a row of chairs under the kang, and said with a smile: "Why bother? I just saw you being pricked by a needle. I thought it was through, so I rushed over to take a look. Look." As he said this, he felt that such a reason was far-fetched. He himself also wondered why he seemed to be blinded by lard. When he saw the quiet courtyard, he wanted to sneak in and take a look, but he saw that Fu Qiuning's hand was pricked. For a moment, it felt as if his heart had been pricked. When he reacted, his hand had already grabbed the other person's finger. Living.
"Why did you come here? Did you originally want to go to the house of the wives and concubines, so you might as well come to my place?" The atmosphere was a bit awkward. In order to relieve the embarrassment, Fu Qiuning had to tease Jin Fengju half-jokingly, and also found a step for him. Down.
"You're really right." Who is Jin Fengju? How could he not go down the steps immediately: "I originally wanted to go to Qingwan Pavilion, but I heard that my ancestor had been here, so I changed the route temporarily, but I thought I wanted to talk to Wanying about something, but when I came in, I thought you were her." Jin Fengju smiled slightly, and this part was revealed.
"How's it going? Are all the sweet potatoes out?" Jin Fengju saw Fu Qiuning picking up the embroidery cloth again, and asked in a casual manner. Fu Qiuning nodded and said, "It's almost done. Yu Jie and Yu Niang are busy in the backyard. Not yet. Half an acre of land, which is a few hundred kilograms, looks like it won’t rain today, so I’ll put all the sweet potatoes in the ground first, and then slowly put them into those abandoned houses after a few days.”
Jin Fengju nodded and said: "In that case, let me find a few boys to come over and help. After all, you are all women. You can bear hundreds of kilograms of things. It's not as good as the boys who have to carry it in with all their hands and feet." He These words really touched Fu Qiuning's mind, and he quickly smiled and said: "That's great, then I'd like to thank you very much."
"As a family, what can you say thank you for?" Jin Fengju smiled slightly and asked, "Did our ancestors have lunch here? Did you see the front and back yards? How did you say that?"
Fu Qiuning couldn't laugh or cry and said: "Forget it, my ancestor came in front, and my wife and my wife and concubines also came in behind. They were making a lot of noise, and my ancestor was not in the mood to have lunch here. I know it's because she loves me, otherwise she would be like this There are so many people, how can I keep myself busy?”
Jin Fengju smiled and said: "She left early because she loved you. Otherwise, what's a meal? Just ask the kitchen to bring it to you. It won't cost you half of the labor. This must have let you see the talk of my wives and concubines again." Kung Fu, our ancestors couldn't bear your embarrassment, so they left." As he said that, Yujie had already rushed back from the backyard, changed his clothes, poured a cup of tea for Jin Fengji, and then left.
