When Fu Qiuning saw this scene, he was angry and funny. He walked out and said, "Everyone has been gone for half a day. Why are you still hanging around here? It really makes me wonder. Although the young Marquis is not a good man, he is not that good at eating." You gray wolves, why are you all so scared? You have also brought two children into ruin. He is their father, so it’s fine if you don’t show mercy. How can you still beat them for no reason? That’s really a lot of trouble. Even worse than beasts." As he spoke, he picked up Zangjiao and led Zangfeng out. Then he said to Yu Jie: "Hurry up and make some noodles. It's getting dark. Now my stomach is screaming with hunger. .”
After returning to the room and waiting for a while, the noodles came. It turned out that Yujie and Yuniang had already rolled the noodles. However, when they heard two children running in and saying that Jinfengju was here, they were so frightened that they immediately stopped all their movements. I'm afraid that if there is any noise in the kitchen, the young marquis will be attracted and some charges will be laid. Therefore, the four of them stayed in the kitchen, no one dared to move, until Fu Qiuning came over, and then they started to prepare the noodles.
Fu Qiuning and Zang Feng Zangjiao shared a table and served them noodles personally. Then they asked Yu Jie, who was eating underground: "Have you made the noodles softer? Otherwise, the child is too young and may not be able to digest it." After saying this, he heard Yujie smiled and said: "How can I ask grandma to order this? It's soft and rotten, so the young master and the young lady can eat it without worry."
Fu Qiuning nodded, picked up all the meat in his bowl and put it into Zang Feng and Zang Jiao's bowls. The two children ate a piece and were very shocked. Zang Feng held up his empty chopsticks and asked her eagerly: "Mother, this is What is it? It’s so fragrant and delicious.”
This sentence made Fu Qiuning almost burst into tears. He quickly turned his head to flick away the tears from the corners of his eyes, but heard Yu Niang say sadly: "Children have grown up to this day and still don't know what meat tastes like." After that, she stood up, About to give the meat in his bowl to the two children, Fu Qiuning saw Yu Jie also standing up, and hurriedly waved his hand and said: "Sit down, everyone, there's no need for this. Although we are tighter now, we won't always be so tight. It's bacon, it's always a bit hard. They are less than three years old and they can't digest it if they eat too much. We can just buy fresh meat for them to eat in the future." Yu Jie and Yu Niang sat down again after hearing what she said. .
Fu Qiuning looked at Zang Feng and Zang Jiao in particular, knowing that their life was so miserable and they would not have much to eat on weekdays. Seeing that the two children kept praising the delicious noodles and meat, she was afraid that the two children would be full. It was easy for them to finish eating a small bowl of noodles. Feeling that this amount of food was normal for two children under three years old, he earnestly advised them not to overeat, otherwise they would suffer. The two siblings were also very sensible. Although they still felt greedy looking at the noodles, they were indeed full, so they followed Fu Qiuning's instructions and put down their chopsticks.
So that night, Zang Feng and Zang Jiao were allowed to sleep on their own beds. There were ordinary beds in Wanfengxuan, but Fu Qiuning still liked the beds that were rarely seen in modern times. What's more, with a fire burning in the stove, the kang is extremely warm. At night, it is extremely happy to lay out the kang mattress and cover it with a brocade quilt.
Seeing the two children falling asleep, Fu Qiuning tucked them in personally. Then she returned to the outside. Seeing Yu Niang and Yu Jie waiting for her, she sat down and said, "I told you what I told you during the day. The matter of settling accounts is not a joke. Now we are obviously isolated here, so if we don't find a way out for ourselves, we will starve to death in the future. We are all still in the second place, but how innocent are Zang Feng and Zang Jiao? We must not let them suffer such a fate. So I want to settle the accounts and make some plans for our future."
Both Yu Jie and Yu Niang lowered their heads sadly, and Yu Niang cried: "Poor people are pitiful. If I had known that grandma was in such a difficult situation, I shouldn't have brought the children here... "
Before he could finish speaking, Fu Qiuning laughed and said: "You shouldn't say this. Now it seems that although we are isolated, it is precisely because of this that we are not involved in the internal fighting in the Hou Mansion. You see The young Marquis has several wives and concubines. Where is the old Marquis? Where is the second master? What’s more, the second master also has children and they all have wives and concubines. Think about it, these dozens of women are fighting randomly. If we are among them, we will make mistakes. How many times have we been hit by open swords and hidden arrows? As the saying goes, pick the softest persimmons. Among this group of people, aren’t we the softest persimmons? So I think it’s a good thing. And you, Yu Niang, since now I recognize I have given birth to two children and become their mother. Our lives are tied together. We don’t have to say anything about our differences just now. We call them Feng’er and Jiao’er on weekdays, but we also call them Young Master and Miss. Others don’t. Respect us, but we have to respect ourselves. The title of young master and young lady is what they deserve."
Yu Niang said quickly: "Yes, now the two... no, it is the young master and the young lady who have become grandma's children. Naturally they should be called that. This is the slave's negligence. I just pity grandma... "
Fu Qiuning raised his hand again, interrupted her words and said with a smile: "You still say such things? I tell you the truth, even without Feng'er and Jiao'er, I will be lonely for the rest of my life. Do you think, I Is there any possibility of having children with the young Marquis?" Yuniang and Yujie were silent after saying this. Of course they knew in their hearts that Fu Qiuning, not to mention ordinary in appearance, was as beautiful as a fairy. Because of the Zhenjiang Prince's Palace and With her relationship with the Jin Xianghou Mansion, it was extremely difficult for her to be favored by the young Marquis, and it was naturally even more difficult for her to have children.
"Okay, it's good that you are clear about these things, so you don't have to worry about them on weekdays. Now let's do some calculations, Yujie, tell me, how much of my dowry is left that day?" Because the real Fu Qiuning only cares about the sorrow of spring and autumn every day, so all matters are taken care of by Yu Jie. If he wants to settle accounts today, he naturally has to ask Yu Jie.
Yu Jie sighed and said: "Because the monthly salary has been deducted a lot on weekdays, in the past year, my grandma and I have been living by selling those dowries. Fortunately, the palace that day was because grandma was married into the Jinxianghou Mansion. My wife, after all, the dowry is not too thin, but it is not rich either. After spending it, there are only three boxes of various jewelry, six pieces of brocade, furniture and other things left in this house, but they cannot be sold. . Apart from that, the rest have almost been sold off." As he spoke, Yujie opened two camphor wood boxes and showed Fu Qiuning the brocade and jewelry boxes inside.
Fu Qiuning remembered that most of her dowry back then was furniture. Although it looked very shiny, it could not be eaten or sold, and it only looked good. The Prince of Zhenjiang didn't care about her and just wanted her to look good, so Yu Jie said that all other things were sold out and it was normal for her to make ends meet for nearly a year.
Fu Qiuning opened the box of jewelry and looked at it. He saw that it was just some silver hairpins. Even if they were all sold out, it would only be a few dozen taels of silver. If they lived frugally, it might be enough for these five people to live for three years. For two years, not to mention the brocade, you always have to make clothes, right? If you pawn it, you won't be able to pawn it off as money.
