Chapter 90: A gentle warning

Views:

Jin Fengju held Fu Qiuning's hand and walked out with Mrs. Jiang Jiang Wanying and several aunts. The yard was full of servants who were originally serving in the house but were kicked out. Fu Qiuning's face was calm. The young marquis held her hand and walked slowly, but the expressions of his wife, second mistress and several aunts were... It’s ugly, why don’t you understand it now? There was a shiver in their hearts, and they secretly thought that Mrs. Fu was already favored by the old lady, and now she has gained the attention of the young marquis. It seems that she cannot underestimate this frail woman in the future.

"You don't need to hold my hand, it's... a little embarrassing." Along the way, Fu Qiuning was not used to the feeling of being in the spotlight. It was like a thorn in her back. However, Jin Fengju not only refused to let go, but even tightened his grip. He chuckled softly: "This is what I asked you last night. Do you want to feel proud or do you want to compromise? You chose to feel proud, so why do you say it now?" don't want."

"The pride and elegance has been achieved, you can tell by the looks in everyone's eyes now. What's more, the young Marquis will have to fight for my concubine later. I just want to have less troubles in the future. I don't really want to take over the back house. This is what I want to do." For my sake, that's enough." Fu Qiuning also whispered. In the eyes of others, it seemed that the young Marquis was very affectionate to the second mistress who was also an abandoned wife. Little did they know that the two were bargaining.

"A good person will go to the end to send the Buddha to the West, and of course he has to do a full show. What's more, you forgot, we have to show off, so that the news can be spread to the Zhenjiang Palace as soon as possible." After Jin Fengju said this, Fu Qiuning was helpless. He had no choice but to go out of the door with him. Jin Fengju stopped and said to Mrs. Jiang and Jiang Wanying behind him without looking back: "Mother and Wanying, please go back first. I will send Qiu Ning back to Wanfengxuan first, and then I'm going to see you." After saying that, without waiting for a reply, he led Fu Qiuning away.

At this moment, even the blind man could see that the young Marquis was angry with the Second Mistress because of Mrs. Fu, and even the wife was blamed. Therefore, everyone was surprised and sighed, secretly thinking that the wind direction in the backyard would probably change from now on.

Returning to Wanfengxuan, before entering the courtyard, Fu Qiuning asked the two children to run back first, then shook off Jinfeng's hand, blushed and bowed, saying: "Okay, just send it here, I can I have tried my best to cooperate with the young marquis. I also want to thank the young marquis for being considerate of me. Please take it back now, I won’t send it away.

"I told you not to call yourself my concubine, but now you show your true identity, you are really trying to tear down the bridge when you cross the river." Jin Fengju smiled and sighed: "I helped you solve such a big problem, but you can't even open the door. Don’t let me in. Well, since you say so, then I will go back, and there is indeed a lot to do.”

After he finished speaking, he turned around and left. After walking a few steps, he suddenly turned back and shouted: "Qiu Ning."

Fu Qiuning had already reached the courtyard gate. When he heard the words, he turned around and saw Jin Fengju, who was more than ten steps away, suddenly gave her a thumbs up with a happy and bright smile on his face. Then he made a semicircle with his hand and put it to his mouth. , said loudly: "The crying scene just now was performed well. From now on, I really want to look at you with admiration."

Fu Qiuning blushed and thought, this bastard is really intolerant. Do you think I am willing to act in that scene? What's more, recalling the miserable situation that day, I couldn't help but want to shed tears. So in embarrassment, he couldn't help but blurt out in a low voice: "Get lost."

"Hahaha..." Unexpectedly, Jin Fengju actually listened to the wind, or recognized the words she said by the shape of her mouth. He laughed loudly and said: "Why get angry in shame? I'm not going to get out now." ?" After saying that, he strode away with a loud smile.

Fu Qiuning's face still felt a little hot until she returned to the hospital. She had never seen Jin Fengju look like such a high-spirited young man. He was completely different from his usual calm and cold self. However, if you think about it carefully, it's not true. The other person is only in his early twenties, but he probably matured very early because he grew up in such an environment.

Thinking of this, I can't help but wonder, secretly thinking that Jin Fengju is only twenty-four this year, and after the Chinese New Year, he will only be twenty-five. Not long after I came here, he was favored by the emperor. He was probably twenty years old at that time, right? Isn't this a joke? With so many virtuous and famous ministers, how could the emperor fall in love with a young man who had just reached adulthood and entrust him with important responsibilities? Could it be that the old emperor liked the story of "Gan Luo worshiped the prime minister" so much that he believed that heroes have emerged from young men since ancient times

While he was deep in thought, he suddenly heard a childish voice in front of him laughing: "Mother, mother, why were daddy so happy just now? I've never seen him like that before." Fu Qiuning looked down and saw that it was Jin Zangjiao and Jin Zangfeng was worried about her after all. Although he ran back to the courtyard in advance, he still insisted on waiting at the gate.

"Well, your father has also worked very hard. He was originally supposed to be such a young man, quick and elegant, but in order to live a better life for you, he had no choice but to take on the important responsibility of the Honor Family early on, and he became what you That's the look you see every day. So Feng'er and Jiao'er should be filial to their father when they grow up, and they should also strive to be sensible early and help their father share the burden, you know?"

"I know, my son (daughter) must study hard, help his parents share the work early, and be filial to his parents." Jin Zangfeng and Jin Zangjiao answered in unison, obviously they had been secretly muttering a lot of these things. Fu Qiuning felt quite comforted. No matter what kind of scumbag the former Jin Fengju was, at least she didn't mind guiding the children in good faith so that they would respect and love him since childhood. . The man who has the world in his heart and has kept his promise so far seems to be worthy of this respect and love now.

Jin Fengju left Wanfengxuan, thought for a while and did not return to Qingwan Pavilion, but went directly to Mrs. Jiang's upper room.

"Madam is reciting Buddha's name, she will be out in a moment." Mrs. Jiang's maid Ju Rui came out, brought tea and snacks for Jin Feng, and then stood waiting quietly.

Sure enough, after a while, Mrs. Jiang came out. With a cold face, she glanced at Ju Rui and said, "Go out and guard. Don't let others in."

Ju Rui agreed and stepped back. Here Mrs. Jiang sat down on the chair and saw Jin Fengju eating a piece of snacks and drinking tea. Her expression softened slightly and she said softly: "What? Are you hungry? But I was in a hurry to go to court in the morning, and I didn't have any." Eat something?”

"Mom, after confessing for a while in the Buddhist hall, do you feel better?" Jin Fengju did not answer Mrs. Jiang's words, but continued to eat snacks while looking up at his mother with a smile.

"What are you talking about?" Sure enough, Mrs. Jiang's face suddenly turned pale, and the hand holding the prayer beads twirled rapidly, even trembling a little.

"Well, my son was unfilial and my mother was frightened." Jin Fengju put down his snacks and sat upright. The trace of mischief on his face just now faded away, leaving only his usual cold and solemn look. He looked at Mrs. Jiang and said lightly: "As the saying goes, , I have never done anything wrong in my life, and I am not surprised when I knock on the door in the middle of the night. How come my son just said a few words, and my mother..."

"That's enough. If you want to say anything, just say it to me. Don't make insinuations like this. Do you still know that I am your mother?" Mrs. Jiang had never heard such words from her son. Her face became increasingly ugly and she shouted sternly.

"The son has always respected his mother, but what his mother did this time was unethical, so don't blame her son for being unfilial. If mother can wake up from her son's unfilial attitude and stop doing things that are harmful to others but not necessarily beneficial to oneself, my son will continue to do so." Respect and love your mother." Jin Fengju was not moved by Mrs. Jiang's harsh attitude at all and responded calmly, leaving Mrs. Jiang speechless for a moment.

"You...you still have the nerve to say that you have always been filial. Last time I asked you to divorce Mrs. Fu. Did you listen to me?" She couldn't suppress her son in terms of momentum, let alone reason. Mrs. Jiang couldn't help but feel Feeling guilty, I had no choice but to bring up what happened in the past and talk about it.

"Mother, do you know that when loyalty and filial piety cannot be fulfilled at the same time, all men of seven feet will put loyalty first." Jin Fengju stood up and looked at his mother solemnly: "Similarly, if a mother requires her son to do the same thing as a filial piety, A son cannot disregard his conscience just because of his filial piety."

"Then the purpose of Mrs. Fu marrying into my family, don't you know? Divorcing her will make my prince's family proud, so how come you just ignore your conscience?" Mrs. Jiang patted the table and looked at her son with an angry look. Indisputable meaning.

"The Prince of Zhenjiang harmed me, but it was not Mrs. Fu who harmed me. How could she, a girl, resist the orders of her parents and the matchmaker? Not to mention her, not even her son, who is the son of a marquis and a first-level Jinshi. Are you going to follow your parents' arrangements and marry her? If your parents can't bear the humiliation, they will probably die that day, so why should you swallow your anger? Now that she is marrying me, I have not set foot in Wanfengxuan for five years, but she has no regrets and does her best. I have raised a pair of children. Mom, my son considers himself a ruthless person, otherwise he would not have abandoned a pair of innocent children as useless shoes just because of his own mistakes. Now that I think about it, I only feel guilty and regretful, and there is no way to make up for it. The same is true for my mother. Woman, compare your hearts to yourselves, do you dare to say that Qiuning is not a virtuous wife? She has done me a great service, is worthy of her heart, has good moral character, and has not taken half of the trouble. If you ask me to divorce her, how can my son agree? Even if I agree, Can the conscience of heaven and earth and the principles of human beings let us go?"
