Jin Fengju slowly took a sip of tea and asked the brothers and sisters: "I don't have to worry about your studies. Your mother will supervise you. I just want to ask you, is there anyone bullying you in the clan school today?" "?" After saying that, he saw Jin Zangfeng and Jin Zangjiao shaking their heads, and then he smiled and said: "That's good. I'm just afraid that on your first day of school, some unreasonable little bastards will bully my Feng'er Jiao'er. I heard what you said. , I feel relieved." After he ate some more edamame and peanuts, he stood up and said, "I won't be here tonight. I'll go to my ancestors later. Do you still have these things? If so, bring me some. "
"What good thing? Just use this to fool the old lady. I will blush for your grandson." Fu Qiuning said half-jokingly, but Jin Fengju laughed and said: "My ancestors have lived a rich life, what good things have they not seen? On the contrary, Only these things will please her. That's right, have the clothes I asked you to make for the Mid-Autumn Festival family dinner ready? You are not allowed to go out wearing half-new clothes tomorrow, otherwise it will embarrass me, say I was so cruel that I left my wife and children to fend for themselves."
Fu Qiuning thought, aren't you? If Ming'er and Jiao'er hadn't come out unexpectedly, I would have been sent home by now, right? The children still don’t know which village you have thrown them into. Whenever she thinks about Jin Fengju's previous behavior, it makes her feel cold and chilly. Therefore, despite his outstanding appearance, gentleness and considerateness, he is much less gloomy and bright and interesting to her. Fu Qiuning can never let go of her guard against him, let alone develop a good impression on him. .
"It's all done." On the surface, she replied respectfully. Then Yu Niang packed the edamame and peanuts in the food box. Jin Fengju opened the lid and took a look. Seeing that the portion was full, he smiled at Fu Qiuning and said, "Yu Niang is still generous. If It would be great if you can fill half the box."
"Eat our food, and arrange for me." Fu Qiuning said through gritted teeth with a smile, while sending Jinfeng Li to the gate, watching his back disappear in the afterglow of the setting sun, and then turned back. He said to Yu Niang: "It's time to make dinner. Go and see what's been arranged. There is still a little lace left on those clothes, so I'll rush out to work right now."
"Yes, I will prepare dinner now. As for lace, it will be the same after I finish eating. There won't be much left anyway." Yuniang said and went to the kitchen, where Jin Zangfeng and Jin Zangjiao ate. With a full stomach of edamame and peanuts, I went to the study room to review my homework. For a moment, Wanfengxuan became quiet.
In a blink of an eye, it was the Mid-Autumn Festival family banquet. Early in the morning, the old lady sent someone to invite her. Seeing Fu Qiuning and Yu Niang Yujie were busy, Luo Cui smiled and said: "Such a busy time? The old lady meant to let grandma and Brother and sister will go there now. Since they were so busy, the slave girl went back to the old lady first, saying that grandma and brothers and sisters would be there in the afternoon, but she couldn’t delay any longer, otherwise the slave girl was afraid that the old lady would want to go there. I came to invite grandma in person."
Fu Qiuning thanked Luo Cui hurriedly, and said that he didn't dare to delay. Luo Cui then left with a smile, taking with him a pack of freshly made sweet-scented osmanthus cakes made by Yu Jie.
Because he had to attend a family dinner in the evening, Yujie only made simple rice and fried autumn cucumbers and eggs at noon, saying that there would be delicious food in the evening anyway, so it didn't hurt to be hungry. Fu Qiuning quickly told the two children not to say this in front of the old lady, as they could not afford to embarrass that person. Then the family changed their clothes and went away talking and laughing.
This time, it was Jin Ming who was waiting outside Yongcui Garden. When he saw them coming out, he hurriedly smiled and stepped forward to greet them. However, he heard Jin Zangfeng say: "Jin Ming, we have already walked here once last time. We know the way. Why do you still want to send them?" come here?"
Jin Ming glanced at Fu Qiuning and saw that although her expression was indifferent, there was also a hint of curiosity, so he couldn't help but smile and said: "I said, this... When you go to a place, you often have to go several times to get to know it well. Yes, this is the second time for grandma and the young master to go to Kangshouyuan. They may not be familiar with the route. I am still in front of the emperor, so I specially ordered my servant to come back early to pick up grandma and the young master."
Fu Qiuning almost tripped and thought, well, everyone will be thrown in front of the housekeeper this time. Just as he was thinking about it, he heard Jin Zangfeng ask: "In front of the emperor? Is daddy in front of the emperor? When can he come back?"
"Then who knows?" Jin Ming smiled and grinned: "The emperor has to say something. But today is the Mid-Autumn Festival, and the emperor, as a wise man, should not keep the young marquis for too long."
Fu Qiuning's heart moved, and he asked calmly: "I have sent you back. Is there anyone reliable to serve him? If you want to keep him at this time, does the emperor have something important for him to do? Isn't he going to run away again? On an errand?" She didn't pay attention to this at first, but since Jin Fengju's words last time hinted that Prince Hong might have lost power, she couldn't help but become a little concerned. She guessed that the remaining memory probably had feelings for Zhenjiang Prince's Palace, so it affected her.
"Why not? There are more capable people around me, but my servants follow me more often, and I take me with me when I go to Wanfengxuan, so grandma doesn't know about the others."
Jin Ming chuckled and didn't hide it from Fu Qiuning: "Your Majesty has been very happy these days. He even praised Prince Rong for his diligence in doing things. He has become more stable in the past few years and is worthy of a big job. Today I have given the prince and Xiaohou I stayed in the palace for lunch, and I probably haven’t left the palace at this time. In short, the Sacred Heart is happy. I’m just afraid that when he comes out, Prince Rong will have to drag him to his home, and it will be dusk no matter what happens when he comes back.”
Fu Qiuning nodded and thought to himself, has the emperor really made up his mind to make Prince Rong the heir apparent? Otherwise, I would not have said that I am worthy of a great responsibility. Although this word is often used for talented people, but when used for a prince, it has to make people ponder. However, isn't it said that Prince Lie has been very popular recently? The favor is even better than that of Prince Rong and Prince Hong back then. The emperor is not old and about to die. Shouldn't he investigate again
As I was thinking about it, I couldn't help but think of the TV series "Yongzheng Dynasty" I watched in modern times. I thought of Emperor Kangxi's delay in establishing a heir apparent after deposing the second crown prince. It was only after his sons were revealed in front of him that they chose a prince. Yongzheng, who had a hidden edge and worked hard, became the emperor. She suddenly shuddered and thought to herself, could this emperor be like Emperor Kangxi, deliberately saying these words and then watching his sons fight with cold eyes
Thinking about it this way, you can't help but feel that politics is really scary and dark, but after thinking about it, it has nothing to do with me, a woman living in a deep house. People like Jin Fengju should not be able to see these ways clearly. Because I felt relieved again, I suddenly heard bursts of laughter not far away. I looked up and saw that I was already outside Kangshou Hospital.
So he hurriedly walked in and saw that all the female family members of the family were there. As soon as they saw Fu Qiuning and Jin Zangfeng and Jin Zangjiao coming in, several people gathered around them, pretending to be affectionate and talking to each other. The old lady called Fu Qiuning in front of her and said with a smile: "When I just opened the curtain, I vaguely saw that the person outside looked like Jin Ming, but Fengju is back? Why don't you let him come in to see me?"
Fu Qiuning said with a smile: "The young Marquis is back, why don't he come to see our ancestors first? He just hasn't come back. Jin Ming is back. The young Marquis sent him back to help the second master first. I heard that the emperor kept me here There will be a banquet in the palace, and there will be Prince Rong. I can't say for sure when he will come back." She had no shame in saying that she was a road idiot, so Jin Fengju specially sent someone back to lead the way. If you really say it, it will become a joke, and you don't know how much resentment it will arouse.
"Oh, the Holy One has left another banquet." The old lady nodded, looked outside with some emotion, and said softly: "Since his grandfather was granted the title of Marquis, he is the most favored by the Holy One in our family. It's just that he is the most favored by the Holy One. , It’s good to have the Holy Family in full swing, but sometimes, you should step back. The icing on the cake, the burning oil, often accidentally burns you, isn’t it a deep pain?” After saying that, he suddenly thought of such days, and said to himself Such words were so unlucky, so I quickly put away my sigh and laughed, "I'm old, why are you saying these words in this day and age? It won't make you feel uncomfortable."
Fu Qiuning smiled and said: "It's not uncomfortable either. Our ancestors were always prepared for danger in times of peace and were far-sighted. The young prince was able to achieve what he is today because of your and his wife's education when he was a child." After saying that, he looked around and then moved gently and skillfully. He changed the topic and said: "Where is the big partition screen? I thought something was missing today, but it turns out that the big screen is gone."
Mrs. Jin smiled and said: "Today's family dinner, there are more people than at the Dragon Boat Festival, and the room will inevitably look crowded, so I asked them to carry it away temporarily, which makes the room more spacious. What do you think?"
Fu Qiuning naturally echoed and praised a few words. When she saw Jiang Wanying coming, she went elsewhere. After talking to several other women from the clan for a while, she sat in an inconspicuous corner. Jin Zangfeng and Jin Zangjiao were playing outside with the children of the clan.
Suddenly, he heard a report from outside that "The young Marquis is here." Fu Qiuning raised his eyes and looked out the door, and saw Jin Fengju wearing an autumn fragrance-colored gown and a lake-blue satin cloak, walking in gracefully. People in the room immediately gathered around him, untying his cloak, and exchanging greetings. It was like stars holding the moon in his arms. But she saw Jin Fengju's eyes searching for something in the crowd. She hurriedly stepped back and turned her head to talk to the daughter-in-law of a branch of the clan. She knew that she couldn't avoid the other person's gaze, but as long as he didn't shout "Qiu Ning" in front of the public, that would be fine. She was really fed up with being in the spotlight.
Jin Fengju didn't know what was going on with him. He didn't even realize that his actions were inappropriate. As soon as he entered the house, he subconsciously started looking for Fu Qiuning. When he came in from the yard just now, he had already seen two children. We were playing outside, so we were sure the other party was here. Sure enough, after searching twice, I saw her talking in the most inconspicuous corner. I couldn't help but feel funny in my heart, but I also knew why Fu Qiuning did this, so I just looked at her briefly and looked away.
