Before she could finish speaking, Jin Fengju waved her hand to stop her and said with a smile: "It's a joke. Who should give away my own things and ask them to take care of them? Ever since they were young, Feng'er and Jiao'er have never had anything from me. Don't they understand how the dragon and phoenix jade pendant was broken? It's okay if they saw it today. Just tell them to break it if you can. If it breaks, I will have something good for the two of them. It's just that I broke the imperial gift. It’s not that easy to uncover.” After saying that, he smiled and said, “Why are you worrying about these things in vain? I have my own reasons.”
Fu Qiuning nodded and said: "As long as I don't cause you any trouble. Although I know that your little prince is great, it is quite annoying for the grandmothers and aunts to cry and complain." Because she did not regard herself as the other party's in front of Jin Fengju. Wife, so I don't want to call those women sisters, but on other occasions, I naturally have to regard myself as the young marquis's wife.
Yin thought for a while and then said: "What I mean is that Feng'er and Jiao'er are not greedy children. You can just give them some regardless of anything in the future. There is no need to give these precious things. As long as the father's intention is Really, who is going to talk about the quality of things? You have caused trouble for us, but you haven't seen the look on these people's faces when they see the white jade lion today..." At this point, I suddenly realized that what I said seemed to be sowing trouble. , hurriedly kept silent, and smiled a little embarrassedly: "Anyway, don't give these expensive things in the future."
"I know this well." Jin Fengju smiled, picked up the tea cup and took another sip, and said to Fu Qiuning: "In a few days, Lin Daru will be here. At the same time, I invited a woman who teaches chess, calligraphy and painting. Sir, I want the girls in the clan to learn. When the time comes, ask Jiao'er to come over and prepare some preparations for them. The clan school is a bit far away from here. I think Yu Niang and Yu Jie are both your capable assistants. Besides, Now that we are getting older, it is not easy to accompany my brother and sister to school, so why not add a servant and a maid to keep the two children company, what do you think?"
Fu Qiuning frowned, and Jin Fengju immediately knew what she was thinking. He smiled and said, "Don't worry, I asked Jin Ming to buy two of the smart, honest, and innocent children from outside. You don't have to worry about the ones from the government. You don't have to worry about this night." Fengxuan has ears to report back to the gods..." Before he could finish his sentence, Fu Qiuning blushed because his thoughts were revealed by him, and said softly: "Thank you for your thoughtfulness. In fact, I don't have anything to do with it, but... these two children are just like me. Your life is average, and you must not make any mistakes."
Jin Fengju smiled and said: "Why thank me? You are not their biological mother, so you can still worry about this. I am still their biological father. Well, it is almost the Mid-Autumn Festival, so I asked Jin Ming to buy some autumn and winter supplies for you. The materials used, I think you should be back by this time. I think the clothes you make yourself are not worse than the tailors outside. If you feel tired, ask the tailors to come and measure your figure and make a few sets. I'm afraid of the Mid-Autumn Festival family banquet. It’s you who also want to attend and make two new pairs of clothes.”
Fu Qiuning asked in surprise: "What? Mid-Autumn Festival family banquet?" After saying this, he felt that he had made a mistake, and he hurriedly made up for it: "Yes, I was confused. The Mid-Autumn Festival is a day for family reunions, and families like ours do not have to prepare What about the family dinner?”
Jin Fengju smiled and said: "Exactly. I'm afraid the family dinner is nothing. It will be lively until New Year's Eve this year. My father and eldest brother are serving as officials in other places and will be back before the end of the year. By then, our family will It will be even more lively." After saying that, seeing Fu Qiuning's face turn pale, he had bad intentions again, coughed and said: "Not only is it lively, I'm afraid it will also be busier. My mother is suffering from illness, Wanying is a In the house of women, the Xu family and the Huo family are pushy and unstable, and the Cui family Yuelan is weak. I am afraid that Wanying cannot bear such a heavy burden alone, and I am worried. But Qiaoer, you have a stable and peaceful personality, and you have ideas in your heart. , it’s better that you help her share some of the burden.”
"Don't come to harm me." Fu Qiuning glanced at Jin Fengju angrily. Anyway, there was no need to be virtuous in front of this man. She simply put down her embroidery and said: "I think the second grandma is very capable. The so-called capable person No matter how hard you work, such a person loves to show off your talents, so you leave it all to her. Even if you complain about the hard work, it is just to get you to praise her. What does it cost to say that she is happy? My son has been taken care of for you, so why bother dragging me into this? Are you afraid that I won’t attract people’s jealousy? I’m afraid that the second mistress will want to eat me. Who promised me that I would grow old in peace?"
Jin Fengju smiled and said: "Why do you call her Second Grandma? You are the most respected one in terms of position. This sounds weird." After saying that, Fu Qiuning said: "She calls me sister in front of me, so I will naturally call her her too." Sister, she is your equal wife, so it’s okay for me to call her grandma, it doesn’t matter, just remember not to try to take my ideas, just let us live here quietly."
When Jin Fengju heard what she said, he stopped insisting and thought to himself that he had to take it step by step. It would be unsightly to be impatient. Besides, not all the power of Prince Hong's Palace had been suppressed, so it would be better to keep her cold like this. When the time comes, she will naturally have the final say.
Fu Qiuning didn't know what Jin Fengju was planning. In the remaining days, he and Yujie Yuniang discussed the style and prepared schoolbags for Jin Zangfeng and Jin Zangjiao. Only the younger brother and sister were excited. The two usually studied. , I know that many people can go to school when they were young, and there are friends in the school, and they are all envious of it. But I know my situation, and I am afraid that if I tell it, it will make Fu Qiuning sad, so I never say a word, but now I can suddenly go to school. How can we not be excited about ethnic studies
In the evening of that day, Jin Fengju and Jin Ming brought over two children of about eight or nine years old. The boy was called Jin Zhuan and the girl was called Lu Hua. They were both handsome and agile. Jin Ming smiled and said that he had been choosing these two children at the market for a long time. Fu Qiuning also thought the two children were very good and actually praised him a few times.
Suddenly, Jin Ming came over again on this day and informed that the scholar had arrived and asked Qiuning to prepare for the brother and sister to go to school and take care of everything. In addition, he informed her that she was going to attend the Mid-Autumn Festival family banquet two days later and brought a lot of snacks. Fu Qiuning smiled and said: "To be honest, if you work so hard for us, you should be rewarded with a few taels of silver. But I don't have this much money here." , if the reward is less, I'm afraid you may not take it seriously. Don't worry, next time I will tell your master to reward you well, he is a young man, and he can't be more generous. "
Jin Ming is now familiar with her. When he heard this, he quickly smiled and said: "Grandma, what are you talking about? This is what a slave should do, but don't tell me about rewards. You may not have money, and you may still be rewarded." If you want to be beaten twice, whether it is grandma’s idea or not, I must say that the slave is greedy and said something that should not be said in front of grandma. Grandma must not harm the slave. In fact, the reward from me is quite a lot now. Besides, grandma’s here If others don’t know the situation, why don’t you, the servant, know it? There’s no need to say this.” After saying that, he asked Fu Qiuning to prepare well before leaving.
Fu Qiuning called over Jin Zangfeng, Jin Zangjiao and Luhua Jinzhuan, and said softly: "Tomorrow you will go to the clan school. There are also good and bad in this clan school. There are those who are scheming or brave and fierce. You two may not have good children, but you two must remember to be close to kind classmates and stay away from those who are reckless and scheming. But don’t be lonely and fearful, and don’t get close to strangers.”
After saying that, he took Jin Zhuan and Lu Hua and said: "This is your first time in this big family. You don't know all the severe fears yet. It doesn't matter, you will know them gradually. Maybe you will suffer twice, but in life, , no one can have smooth sailing, let alone you who are slaves and servants. Now you four children, I only hope that the four of you can be of one mind. Although you are called master and servant, you are actually brothers and sisters. A chopstick is easy to break, but who can break a bundle of chopsticks? Can it be broken? No matter when, you must remember to take care of each other and unite as one. As long as you can do this, even if you suffer a small loss, it will be okay after all." After teaching for a long time, Fang said: "Okay, God It's late, you go to bed, you have to get up early tomorrow to go to clan school, and Jin Ming will come to pick you up then."
That night, Fu Qiuning couldn't sleep well, thinking about the two children who came to him when they were less than three years old. Since then, they have lived together with mother and child for more than five years. In more than 1,600 days and nights, there has never been a baby. He was half a step away from his eyes, but now he was going to the clan school. He would leave in the morning and return in the evening. During this long day, he didn't know whether he was annoyed or even scolded and beaten by his teacher. For a moment, I felt anxious in my heart, so I simply sat up and stared blankly at the moonlight quietly shining in from outside the hospital.
"I really didn't expect that as a second generation, I have never had the experience of being pregnant for ten months, but I really understand the feeling of being a mother. Alas! I hope God will bless me and my two children will be safe, and I will be satisfied. That's it." Fu Qiuning clasped his hands and said to himself, but he thought that he had never believed in Buddhism, and he didn't know if there was any use in cramming him at this time.
As soon as it got slightly brighter the next day, brother and sister Jin Zangfeng and Jin Zangjiao got up. Jin Zhuan and Lu Hua had already packed up. They watched the two children wash themselves up under Yu Niang's service. Fu Qiuning called them from outside the house. As soon as they heard the sound of eating, several people hurried out, drank gruel, and each of them ate two boiled eggs. When Jin Ming entered the yard and saw them packing up, he smiled and said: "I was afraid that grandma and my brothers and sisters would oversleep, so I asked my servants to call me. I didn't expect that everything was ready. In this case, let's go there quickly." Bar."
