Fu Qiuning was also feeling a little cold. He looked at the urn and saw that most of the snow was already there. Then he smiled and said, "In that case, let's go back. I spent a long time and this is all I have. The snow is not so heavy this time. I will wait for it." When it snows heavily, there will definitely be more snow than today." As he said this, he and Jin Fengju walked side by side, went to the eaves of the corridor to find the lid of the blue and white urn, covered it and put it under the eaves, because the back door was sealed. So the two of them walked around the corridor to the front yard, and then entered the house.
Fu Qiuning then smiled and said: "Yesterday, the maid in Second Grandma's house personally sent me 5 taels of silver, Yu Niang and Yu Jie each received 1 tael, Feng'er and Jiao'er each received 2 taels, together with the gold seal. He and Luhua each received five hundred yuan. I have to thank you for this. I guess you wouldn’t have gotten this money if you hadn’t spoken in front of the second mistress. Yu Niang and Yu Jie have never gotten this money since they entered my Wanfengxuan. Yue Yin, you were so excited yesterday, even Feng'er and Jiao'er were extremely happy."
Jin Fengju smiled and said: "It's good that I brought it to you. You deserve it. I'm afraid that Feng'er and Jiao'er will suddenly know that they have money and they won't want to learn from it. Otherwise, a few hundred silver wouldn't be a big deal. These I should compensate you for those who have wronged you over the years. You can calculate it yourself in the future. Didn’t you read the monthly payment list I gave you that day? If it cannot be paid on a monthly basis or there is something missing, you don’t have to go to others. Just tell me directly. That’s right, has Wanying come over to talk to you about Yu Niang?”
"What's the matter with Yu Niang?" Fu Qiuning asked Jin Fengju to say that he was confused, but he heard him laugh and said: "I'm afraid it's what happened last time. She's a little embarrassed to see you. No wonder you don't know. You know that Zhang San has always been safe, because Why did he sell you all this time? It turns out that Wanying sent someone to inquire about the affairs between him and Yu Niang, and promised him that as long as he tells these things and allows you to have something in her hands from now on, she will I decided to allocate Yu Niang to Zhang San. So Zhang San really believed it and sold you out completely."
"That's it." Fu Qiuning suddenly realized that after sending him back to Wanfengxuan that day, Jin Fengju only sent Jin Ming to deliver the monthly payment list for the mansion on the third day, because Qiu Ning was not in the big kitchen with everyone. To eat, Jin Fengju specially provided her with extra monthly supplies such as rice, flour, oil, salt, firewood, and charcoal, and asked her to check it according to the list later. If she thought of anything short of something, write it down and tell him before adding more. No one has come over these days, so Fu Qiuning doesn't know about this yet.
After hearing what Jin Fengju said at this time, he couldn't help but sigh: "Oh, as expected, the word love can make people live and die. That Zhang San is also infatuated. Yu Jie even scolded him for this. Listen, He said that when he heard that we were almost kicked out, his eyes were straight. We haven't looked for him these days, and we don't know how to regret it at home. If it was because of this, I would have asked Yu Jie to comfort him. It's just that Grandpa I said that Second Mistress came to tell me about Yu Niang, could this be it?"
Jin Fengju nodded and said: "Of course, this was all caused by Wanying. My wife was just afraid that I would punish her and we would be separated from now on, so I just took the blame for her. I couldn't do too much. So. I ordered people to go to the landlord's house to ask for a divorce letter, and asked Wanying to arrange the affairs between Yu Niang and Zhang San. I think there should be news in the next few days." Before he finished speaking, there was a "clang" outside the door. The sound of a tea tray knocking over on the floor. Fu Qiuning and Jin Fengju looked at each other, and Fu Qiuning shouted: "Is it Yu Niang? You came just in time. Go to the kitchen to see what snacks Yujie has made, and bring them over to me to try."
After saying that, he only heard the sound of footsteps rushing away. Fu Qiuning smiled and said: "I think she listened to what I just said. I don't know how to be happy at this time. I am here to thank you on behalf of Yuniang."
Immediately Yujie brought tea and snacks. Fu Qiuning knew that Yu Niang was embarrassed to come, so he didn't ask any more questions. Suddenly I heard footsteps in the courtyard, and then Jin Ming came in. He glanced at Fu Qiuning first, and then Jin Fengju said calmly: "Qiu Ning is not an outsider. Tell me, is it because my brother-in-law doesn't want to see me?"
Jin Ming bowed and said carefully: "Master... how do you know? I took the post and sent it to Prince Rong's Mansion in person, but didn't even get in. Prince Rong sent the boy next to him to come out and say that the prince was feeling a little unwell. , I’ll make an appointment with Mr. Marquis another day when it feels better. The slave was wondering on the way, why... the master seems to know about it? "
Jin Fengju took the greeting note he had written from Jin Ming's hand, weighed it in his hand, and said with a bitter smile: "It really annoyed me, but for what reason? This honest man can't even find an excuse. , this morning I saw him rosy and full of energy, but in the afternoon he said he wasn't feeling well. He didn't even bother to come up with a decent excuse, which shows that he was really annoyed with me. But I didn't do anything to annoy him these days. Things, let’s talk about these days, this has not happened even in these years, so what is it for this time?”
Fu Qiuning listened on the sidelines and couldn't help but asked in surprise: "What? Could it be that there was a rift between Prince Rong and the young Marquis? But why?"
Jin Fengju smiled bitterly, threw the letter on the kang, and said calmly: "You still ask me, don't you see that I am still here wondering? I have never been annoyed like this, and I don't even know why. It's just that since then The first time he invited me to his house, I was worried about you so I didn't go. He didn't come to see me again after that, which had never happened before. Could it be because I was perfunctory with him? But this is not the first time. It’s just a meal, what else?”
Fu Qiuning's heart moved, thinking of the political intrigues of the party members in the historical dramas he watched, and he couldn't help but asked carefully: "Are you talking about the last time my embroidery was sold? I remember that the news was revealed to me by Prince Lie. Yes, I am puzzled by his intentions. Now that Prince Rong has suddenly ignored you, could it be related to this matter?"
It is really a word that wakes up the dreamer. Jin Fengju was stunned for a long time, then suddenly stood up and said: "Jin Ming, think about it carefully, do you still remember what my brother-in-law said when he saw me for the last time? Did he ask me about Prince Lie?"
"That's right, the prince said that he heard that the young marquis and Prince Lie were having a banquet together. Did he force you into something? Is there anything troublesome? Tell him. Because of this... This is a family scandal, the young marquis doesn't I wanted to show off, so I just said something casually, and then the prince left." Jin Ming received Jin Fengju's reminder and quickly tried to recall the situation that day.
"That's it. I asked why Prince Lie was so affectionate with me that day. No matter how presumptuous he was, he shouldn't have behaved like this in front of the palace gate. Could it be that he did it deliberately to show his brother-in-law? ? Knowing that he is an honest man and will not think too much, he will definitely ask me in the future, and I will definitely not tell him about this matter that is related to the reputation of the Hou Mansion. In this way, my brother-in-law has doubts and suspicions about me. Naturally, I will gradually become indifferent to me in the future. As long as I am not around my brother-in-law, planning for him. Although it is not easy for him to be played to death by someone with his temperament, it is not necessarily very difficult for him to lose his position as heir apparent."
Jin Fengju thought about it layer by layer, and the more he thought about it, the more he felt that this was the case. I couldn't help but let out a long sigh of relief and said: "I have been irritable these days. I just wondered how Prince Lie could endure the loneliness and was so slow to take action. It turned out that he had already taken action, but I didn't understand his intention, so I still Silly, I was kept in the dark. However, Prince Nalie never expected that my brother-in-law would be so helpful to me. Once he had doubts, he would not be willing to compromise at all, and he immediately had the intention of breaking up. Only then did I notice. Otherwise, he would just pull me affectionately like that, and then quietly make my brother-in-law wary of me. If my brother-in-law and I slowly split up, what would Prince Rong’s group have to fear? Okay. It seems like a foolish delusion, but it is actually a sophisticated and meticulous plan to alienate someone. Every step was carefully calculated, and such a vicious seed was planted so easily and deftly. It is really a big deal."
Jin Ming also suddenly realized at the side, and suddenly heard Fu Qiuning laugh and say: "So what? No matter how clever his calculations are, he will eventually see through it. Prince Nalie must be a man with a deep personality. Just because he judges others by himself, I felt that Prince Rong must be as unpredictable as him, and could not express his emotions or anger, so this plan must be effective. However, I did not expect that Prince Rong and I were too sincere and would not deal with it at all once a rift arose. Ruining his perfect plan shows that this is not God’s will?”
Jin Fengju smiled and said: "You said that he has a deep temperament and is very deep in the city. You are absolutely right. There is no need for anything else. I just want to talk about the timing of that day. He was behind me and must have realized that the emperor would stay with his brother-in-law for a while. And it won't be too long, so he just made such gestures. It's just the timing of this, and you know what kind of person he is. It's a pity that his cleverness is mistaken for his cleverness. It can be seen that there is a disadvantage of being too talented. , that is overconfidence. If you are too confident, you are a bit blind. Otherwise, we will not find the opportunity this time." After saying that, he stood up and said to Qiu Ning: "If your family comes to pick you up, When we return home, we will send Feng'er and Jiao'er to live with our ancestors for two days, and we will take Wanfengxuan back when you come back."
Fu Qiuning agreed, and he walked out and said, "I have some things to do recently, so I won't come over. When your family comes to pick you up, go back to your ancestors." After saying this, Fu Qiuning agreed one by one. Watching him go out of the door, he turned back.
"Sir, now that Prince Rong is angry with you, what should we do? Do you want to go over and explain?" On the way back, Jin Ming asked carefully, but Jin Fengju sneered: "No need. He likes to be angry. Go ahead, I am so impatient that people start to doubt me after a few provocations. Now that the Emperor is in his prime, everyone’s plans are just below the surface of the water, not too serious. If one day, the Holy Body violates the law, He, put the matter of establishing a crown prince on the agenda, he is so straight-tempered, why can't he be embarrassed by others? Let's let him be angry for a few more days this time, and temper his temper. "
