"I know, sir." Jin Ming answered respectfully, handed the two guqins wrapped in cloth to Jin Fengju, and went to direct the boys himself. Here Fu Qiuning quickly opened the door and said with a smile: "I wonder if you have a good ear. Just now Feng'er and Jiao'er told me that they need to use pianos in the school. Who would have thought that you sent two of them here today? , when did you calculate it?"
Jin Fengju chuckled and said, "I'm really not a good listener, because yesterday I listened to Xiuzhen playing the piano in Qingwan Pavilion. I mentioned that there will probably be piano lessons in the next two days. I just remembered that the piano in your study The piano is the worst quality. How can it be used by my two treasures? So today I specifically ordered Jin Ming to go out and buy it. Although it is not a famous piano, it is still a top quality instrument. The musical instrument shop made it for the palace. You guys who play musical instruments, don't dare to fool me. At least help me hold one, you're really shameless." As he said that, he entered the back room.
The two children only heard a voice outside that sounded like their father's, but the north wind was blowing hard, so they couldn't hear what they heard. They hesitantly got off the kang, and saw their father and mother walking in together, each holding a child. The guqin was being played, and the two children ran over with a shout of joy. Jin Fengju put the piano on the table, hugged the two of them and kissed them, and then played with the strings casually, and instantly the clear and melodious sound of the piano flowed out. Fu Qiuning also knew a little about musical instruments. After listening to them, he knew that these two pianos were indeed of good quality and the sound quality was indeed excellent.
"Daddy is so cold. Come and sit on the kang." The two children loved the guqin and couldn't put it down. After looking at it for a long time, they remembered that their father was freezing just now, but now he was still standing on the ground with them, feeling cold. He jumped up, holding Jinfeng in each hand and lifting her onto the kang. He said with a smile, "Mother spread a quilt on the kang to keep warm. It's very comfortable to sit in it."
"Okay, okay." Jin Fengju took off his shoes and got on the kang, got into the bed, sighed comfortably, smiled at Fu Qiuning and said: "Okay, you will enjoy it, I only have to work outside for you, lest you suffer any harm." It's cold, I brought charcoal here, it's obviously very warm."
Fu Qiuning smiled and said, "It's a good thing you came to save me. If you hadn't come, we would have been really cold in a few days." She deliberately didn't mention how she spent the cold winter in the past, and Jin Fengju was smart enough not to ask. But Fu Qiuning said again: "Yes, you fell on the kang, can't you go back tonight?"
"I've never seen such a cruel wife like you. It's freezing outside. I brought you charcoal, but you want to drive me out? You make your own judgment based on your own conscience. Is there any justice in this?" Jin Fengju He glared at Fu Qiuning: "If it were anyone else, I would be angry if I were to leave like this. You were the only one who pushed me out."
Fu Qiuning thought to herself that I am not your wife and concubines. Have you forgotten your promise? Why are they always comparing me to them recently? Yin frowned slightly and said with a faint smile: "Where is it like you said? It's still freezing cold. It's not three-nine days after all. I'm afraid the water hasn't frozen yet. Besides, I'm just afraid of your wives and concubines. I'm worried that just a casual word will make you so resentful. In that case, just stay here." Since Jin Fengju was already sitting on the kang, she refused to sit on the kang, and just sat down on the ground. There were thick mats on top, and although it wasn't as warm as the heated kang, it wasn't cold either.
"You just come up to the kang, how can I still eat you? What's more, we have the status of husband and wife, so what are you afraid of?" Jin Fengju sneered, but was secretly annoyed in his heart, secretly thinking that she was so defensive about me. , as if they were two unrelated people, they really refused to reveal even a single flaw to me, alas! What kind of person is loved by everyone? It's just other people's compliments.
"The kang is so crowded, the three of you are enough." Fu Qiuning smiled calmly, and suddenly heard a burst of laughter from outside the door, and then Yu Jie jumped in and shouted happily: "Grandma, go take a look, sir. People sent a lot of firewood and charcoal. Oh my god, I have never seen such good charcoal. Manager Jin said it was more than two hundred kilograms. What kind of silver wire charcoal is it? The best charcoal. There is also firewood, yes. Now, and those firewood..." The little maid yelled at Fu Qiuning, and suddenly felt something was wrong. When she turned around, she saw Jin Fengju sitting on the kang with a smile, looking at her with interest.
Yujie's voice seemed to be blocked, and she didn't know what to say with her mouth open. It took her a long time to react, and she hurriedly knelt down to salute, while murmuring: "My slave... I didn't know that I was here, I thought... I thought... It's just that Manager Jin brought firewood over. This... meal... the meal is almost ready. I'll go and prepare it now..." Before he finished speaking, he greased the soles of his feet and ran away.
Jin Fengju laughed loudly, shook his head and said: "Everyone says that everything is like a master, let alone a slave? It's just that this maid of yours has not learned your poise and dignity at all? But Yu Niang still seems to have such a temperament."
Fu Qiuning smiled and said: "Yu Jie has been passed around by traffickers since she was a child. She has traveled all over the country. She has a wild temper. What's more, in the hands of human traffickers, if she is not more powerful, I don't know how she will be bullied. I like her to be lively and interesting, unlike Yu Niang, who is obviously in her youth, but seems to be dying, without any vitality."
Jin Fengju slowly stopped smiling, stared at Fu Qiuning with a deep gaze, and said softly: "You are still talking about Yu Niang, why don't you look at yourself? After all, you are much younger than her, why are you still so lackluster? ? Like a flower that is about to wither, it makes people feel sad for no reason."
Fu Qiuning smiled and said: "That's all, you just said that I am prudent and dignified. How can I be the same as Yu Niang? Now that we have talked about it, I also have something on my mind that I want to discuss with you. You need to do this. Just nod."
Jin Fengju snorted, thinking that you should just be tough-mouthed. He wanted to moisturize you well, but he didn't appreciate it. Because he was a little uninterested, he lowered his head and said casually: "What's the matter? Just tell me."
Fu Qiuning glanced at the two brothers and sisters and said, "You guys are probably warm enough. Go to the kitchen and see if Yu Niang is done with her work. Your father and I have a few words to say." After saying this, the two brothers and sisters quickly got off. Got off the bed and went out to the kitchen.
Fu Qiuning then said: "I think Yu Niang is not yet thirty, so it is really pitiful to be a widow like this all her life. It is better to find her an honest and responsible family so that she can rely on her for the rest of her life. In the past, when chatting, Yujie once said that Zhang Ma, the gatekeeper at the corner door of the backyard, had a son who was very good-natured. He and Yu Niang were childhood sweethearts. Unexpectedly, Yu Niang's parents were greedy for money and married her off to a wealthy landlord to fill a house. , less than a year later, that powerful mother-in-law kicked her out. Fortunately, you bought her as a slave. Otherwise, she said herself, there would be no place for her to stand. Now why don’t we make this couple happy? ? Then Zhang Ma’s son has not married yet because of her. If it were someone else, I’m afraid he wouldn’t be able to do this. How can the landlord agree? It’s just that you are a young prince, and the landlord doesn’t even want to carry your shoes. Opportunity, if you just say a word at this time, are you still afraid that he won't hurry up and hand over the divorce letter? What do you think? "
It turns out that Yu Niang was not abandoned, but the landlord's mother and children were kicked out of the house. When she had nowhere to go, she happened to meet Jin Fengju. At that time, Jin Fengju was hating the washerwoman for thinking that the mother was more valuable than the child. Seeing that she was beautiful and helpless, he bought her and sent her to the backyard without asking where she came from, and called her a servant. The child actually humiliates the woman who covets wealth. Yu Niang was afraid of being kicked out again, so she always told people that she was divorced. It was not until two years ago that Fu Qiuning enthusiastically tried to bring her and Brother Zhang together, but she had no choice but to reveal her true life experience.
In this way, although Fu Qiuning was angry at the landlord and the rich man for being unkind and unjust, he still wanted to take back Yuniang after his mother died, so he refused to give her a divorce letter. But there was nothing we could do. She is fashionable and takes care of herself, so she has no energy left to protect others. This matter gradually faded away. It only hurt Brother Zhang, who could only miss Yu Niang. Although Yu Niang loved him before, she was deeply poisoned by feudal ideas. Ever since she was kicked out of the landlord's house, her heart was like a dead tree. She only focused on coaxing her two children and never showed any interest in love.
At this time, when Jin Fengju heard what Qiu Ning said, he leaned on the pillow, looked at her with a smile and shook his head: "You are not kind now. You just want to make me happy. You praise me so highly, but you trample on the old wealthy landlord." So low. Where can I catch it as easily as you said?" Even as he said this, he began to make small calculations in his heart.
This matter is naturally very easy for him. He is just a rich man. He just needs to send someone to say hello to him, and he is not afraid that he will not hand over the divorce letter. In the first place, he is in the wrong. It's not like they were a pair of lovers who were deeply in love. They were kidnapped by bullies and their wives were still worth telling. What's more, he is now a high-ranking official, let alone a rich man, even a fifth-grade prefect would not take him seriously. But if Fu Qiuning's wish is fulfilled in this way, then if one day in the future he also wants to fulfill his wish, who can make the decision for him
