As soon as he finished speaking, the door opened. Jin Fengju stood inside the door, frowning and saying, "What are you talking about? Can't you just shout outside? You still need someone to pass on the message. What did you just say? What happened to my brother-in-law?"
Jin Ming bowed quickly and said with a smile: "Hey, you heard me, it's nothing, just a few pots of famous chrysanthemums sent from the palace. In addition, the prince asked you to go to the palace for a banquet in the evening."
Jin Fengju nodded and said: "Okay, I understand." After saying that, he was about to go in again. Suddenly he saw Yujie Yuniang and two children standing outside the door, and said: "Why did you come out of the study? You have finished reading. After reading it, write another twenty big words. Your mother and I still have something to talk about."
Yuniang and Yujie reluctantly agreed, then heard Jin Fengju call Jin Ming and said, "By the way, just now you said that the palace sent several pots of famous chrysanthemums? Have they been distributed?"
Jin Ming smiled and said, "Not yet. Grandma gave a pot each to the ancestor, my wife, and my second wife, and said that I would wait for my master to distribute the rest when he returns."
Jin Fengju pondered for a moment and said, "Bring a basin to Wanfengxuan, and let Wanying decide the rest."
Jin Ming agreed and went. Here Jin Fengju returned to the house and saw Fu Qiuning taking off all the hairpin rings and jewelry and wrapping a Juan handkerchief on his head. Seeing him coming back, I couldn't help but be surprised and said, "Why haven't you left yet? Didn't you say you were going to Prince Rong's Mansion?"
Jin Fengju sneered and said, "I've never seen you cross the river and demolish the bridge and unload the mill and kill the donkey like this again. Oh, the river has not been crossed and the mill has not been unloaded, so you are in a hurry to demolish the bridge and kill the donkey? Why did you ask me to keep it a secret before? Meek? In the blink of an eye, it became, 'Why haven't you left yet?' You turned against me a little too quickly."
Fu Qiuning made him laugh. He stood up and said, "What are you talking about? I heard that Prince Rong's Mansion invited you. Did I hear it wrong?"
Jin Fengju walked to the edge of the kang and sat down. He lay back and said half-heartedly, "We're going to the banquet in the evening. It's still early in the morning. It's not too late to go to the palace in the evening. What's the matter? It's just to deal with those dignitaries. All of them are only capable of flattering and flattering people, and there are not many truly useful talents."
After speaking for a long time, Fu Qiuning didn't make a sound. He sat up and saw that Fu Qiuning was sitting in front of the mirror, meditating. Although his black hair was only covered with a handkerchief, it looked extremely simple, but it had a "natural way to carve clear water and produce hibiscus." pure and innocent.
"Why don't you talk? But since I'm bored? Why do you have to deal with it? I can't help it. That's what my brother-in-law is like. If I don't go and drink a few glasses of wine with them and recite a few poems, he will feel embarrassed and have to do it. I'm going to socialize for a while." After Jin Fengju finished speaking, Fu Qiuning turned around and said calmly: "Sir, it's not my place to say this. I am a woman, what do you know? But, since you agreed, I, keep me safe for the rest of my life, my life is naturally tied to yours. So I have this doubt in my heart, which is really unpleasant."
"You said it." Jin Fengju waved his hand: "It's just a casual chat. I naturally know what to do."
Fu Qiuning smiled and said: "Since you said that, I feel relieved. In fact, it's nothing, but I think that the Holy Emperor's thoughts are not clear now. Previously, Prince Rong was suppressed and Prince Hong was promoted, but now Prince Hong is suppressed again. , Prince Rong and Prince Lie were promoted again. The so-called power of heaven is unpredictable. I feel that Prince Rong should be more careful and restrained. Otherwise, he will inevitably get carried away with his pride, which may lead to extreme joy and sorrow. "
Jin Fengju was still listening with a smile before, but his expression gradually became serious. When Fu Qiuning finished speaking, he couldn't help but take a deep look at the woman. Seeing that Fu Qiuning was a little overwhelmed by him, Fang smiled slightly, stood up and said "Okay, I've stayed here long enough. I'll go to my ancestors to say hello." After saying that, he walked away. Fu Qiuning was busy behind him and bowed to him.
But when Jin Fengju walked to the door, he suddenly stopped, turned around and looked at her, and said softly: "Qiu Ning, maybe one day in the future, your father will regret marrying you to me. At that time, if he wants What will you do if I take you back?"
Fu Qiuning was stunned for a moment, and then he couldn't laugh or cry, thinking, what is this? Test my mind? Yin quickly said seriously: "What did the young marquis say? Although we are not husband and wife, we are always called husband and wife. As the saying goes, a righteous woman will not marry two husbands. Naturally, I must abide by the ethics of women. What's more, when I get married, I will obey Husband, as long as the young Marquis does not give orders, my father will not dare to come up to ask for his disgrace, right?"
Jin Fengju smiled faintly, but his eyes were still sharp, and he said softly: "Are you really satisfied with this life of a widow? If your father promised you to find a better family for you after taking him back, wouldn't you care at all? Not tempted?"
"What happened to the little Marquis today? What he said is so strange." Fu Qiuning asked in confusion, and then with a straight face, he said solemnly: "No matter what kind of good family he is, I only know that the little Marquis is the first one to treat me." The person in front of me promised to keep me safe throughout my life. If I can be safe in this life, why should Qiu Ning ask for it? As for my grandfather and father, they sent me here as a tool to humiliate you that day, and they did not care about my life or death at all. There is no trace of family affection. Since they have no responsibilities as fathers in the first place, and Qiu Ning is already married as a woman, where does the extra energy come from to abide by filial piety and obey orders? Don't you think so, little Marquis? "
Jin Fengju's eyes lit up, and he nodded deeply after a long time and said: "If it's time to break it off, I'll break it off. Since you're heartless, I'll let you go. Well, you are worthy of being my wife, Jin Fengju." After saying this, he looked up to the sky. Laugh out loud and walk away.
"What? Don't be shameless. It's just in the name of a couple." Fu Qiuning curled his lips and looked at Jin Fengju's upright back walking freely in the courtyard. He couldn't help but cover his mouth and said with a smile: "I just said He also said that it is inevitable to get carried away when you are proud, so you gave me a personal explanation. Don't you know that we have a saying in modern times: "You go out laughing with your head up to the sky, only to be carried back sideways." Don't you? Little Marquis, please be patient. Son, don’t be so happy that you become so sad, I’m still waiting for you to be my life-saving talisman.”
It was as if he had responded to Fu Qiuning's words. But the difference is that Jin Fengju was not carried back that night, but did not come back at all.
"What do you mean? It's just the prince, it's just a piece of stuff soaked in a wine jar. Why is the young prince so drunk? Why don't you try to persuade me? Please pay attention to each one of them. That layer of skin, if you make a mistake someday, see if I don't expose it for you." In Prince Rong's palace, the graceful and noble princess was preparing to remove her makeup in the backyard, when her family came to report that everyone in the side hall was drunk, please She went over to deal with it.
At this time, the servants listened to the princess scolding, and they were all silent and did not dare to speak. Only the manager stepped forward bravely and said: "The young Marquis is usually very measured, but... looking at the young man today, he doesn't know if he has met a close friend, but he seems to be very happy. On weekdays, he still wants to persuade him. He was looking at the prince, but today it was the other way around, and the prince had to persuade him, and finally... finally the prince also got into the mood, and it ended up like this. So please tell me, the princess, what should I do? I will still do it tomorrow morning. There’s a morning meeting.”
"What else can we do? Help the prince and the young marquis to lie down in the study, make two bowls of sobering soup, and let them hold the sobering stone in their mouths. They are not allowed to take it out until they are sobered up. Go to court like this, hold it Are you waiting to be scolded by the emperor?" With an angry look on her face, the princess called a boy and said: "And you, go to the Jinxianghou Mansion and tell the second mistress that the young prince is drunk and let you I stayed and asked her to pack up all the official uniforms and send them over. She will go to court tomorrow morning from my place, so the second mistress doesn’t have to worry." After saying that, he looked at the staggering guests. Although he was angry, he was also because of I didn't know if there were any distinguished guests of Prince Rong here, and I didn't dare to neglect him, so I had to order everyone to be sent to the guest room and find a maid to serve him well. After all this fuss, the arrangements were finally made.
The next day before dawn, Jin Fengju woke up and spat out the sobering stone in his mouth. He got up from the bed and stretched. The noise woke up the little maid guarding outside the house. She quickly ran over and said: "Little Marquis" Are you awake? Wait a minute, I will ask them to come over and wash you up. The princess also said that you will call her when you wake up."
Jin Fengju agreed, and soon someone brought a golden basin, square towel, soap and other things. After washing her face and combing her hair, the princess came in. When she saw this younger brother whom she had loved since childhood, she ran away with all the scoldings in her heart. , sat down on the chair and said angrily: "Look at you, I just said that you are usually a stable person. When your brother-in-law gets interested, you should persuade him. You have done well in the past. Why did you lose your temper so much last night? You were even drunker than your brother-in-law, so I had no choice but to keep you here for the night. Wanying doesn't know how to complain to me at this time."
Jin Fengju smiled and said: "I was so happy yesterday that I got a little carried away. I didn't expect to be so drunk. Fortunately, my sister asked someone to give me a sobering stone to hold in my mouth. Otherwise, I don't know if I can sober up at this time. Let's go to court this morning. It’s going to be embarrassing.”
Jin Yanqiu nodded and said with a smile, "The manager also said that you look happy, what's the matter? What happened to you that made you so happy? Little brother, you have always been a steady person. Even when you were a child, my sister rarely saw you. Being so carried away, I really don’t know what good thing it is that makes you so happy."
