Chapter 28: Looking for an Alliance, Brother and Sister
Bai Shi and Fu Rongqin also heard Fu Rongyue's muttering, Bai's hand holding the chopsticks trembled slightly, and the crystal shrimp dumplings that had just been picked up fell back into the bowl. She quietly raised her eyes and glanced at Fu Rongqin, but saw Fu Rongqin sitting expressionlessly, and her heart was a little more stable.
Fu Rongqin was not afraid at all, and gave Fu Rongyue a bun with a smile, with the gentle closeness of a good sister.
Fu Rongyue pursed her lips and smiled, since she already knew how to start, even if the Fu family was a tiger's den in Longtan, she could also fight the world peacefully!
After breakfast, Fu Xingjian was going to go to the court, as soon as he left, Bai didn't want to stay longer, under the excuse that he didn't sleep well, under the service of his two daughters, he was helped back to the main courtyard by the girl to rest.
At this moment, there were only a few aunts and Fu Rongmin and Fu Qing left in the flower hall.
As soon as Fu Rongyue entered Fu's house, she first taught Fu Ronghui and the girl Liwei, and the effect was not bad, several aunts knew that she even dared to provoke Fu Ronghui, she was just a concubine, and she didn't dare to provoke her. Aunt Zhao took the lead in respectfully greeting and asking for instructions, and after getting Fu Rongyue's permission, she withdrew from the flower hall.
Aunt Cheng never left, she stood in place and looked at Fu Rongyue thoughtfully, and stopped talking several times.
Fu Rongyue said with a smile: "Aunt Cheng, please take a seat." The eldest brother and the fourth sister are here, you are the elder, and it is not appropriate to stand there. ”
"Mother, sit down and eat with Min'er!" Fu Rongmin is not very old, but he has been nurtured by his mother for a long time, and he is extremely filial, as soon as he heard Fu Rongyue's words, he hurriedly ran over and pulled Aunt Cheng to sit down, and pushed his own dishes and chopsticks to Aunt Cheng: "Mother, you got up so early today and didn't eat, you must be hungry, right?"
Fu Qing thoughtfully sandwiched dumplings for Aunt Cheng, filled a bowl of hot porridge, and carefully put sucrose.
The children were filial, Aunt Cheng was very happy in her heart, and she relaxed a little, and said softly: "Thank you, Second Miss." Then she sat down on the stool, and as a sign of respect, she sat only a third of the way on her side.
Fu Rongyue saw that she behaved dignified and generous, and her temperament was soft, and she said that her children were a mirror that reflected her mother, and then she looked at Fu Rongmin at a young age, and she was a little stronger than Fu Ronghui, Fu Qing was elegant and easy-going, and she was also a humble gentleman, and she became more and more suspicious of what happened last night.
After Aunt Cheng sat down, she was not in a hurry to eat, but looked at Fu Rongyue for a while, and slowly turned her eyes red, she hurriedly turned her face away, and carefully wiped the corners of her eyes with a handkerchief.
"Aunt Cheng knows my mother?" Fu Rongyue saw it in her eyes, her heart jumped suddenly, and she suddenly turned this thought.
Aunt Cheng sighed and put down her handkerchief: "I recognize, your mother and I have known each other since childhood, and when I was in trouble, it was thanks to your mother's rescue that I had this place to settle down." ”
Fu Rongyue didn't know much about Su Juan's previous affairs in Fengxi Village, and when she heard Aunt Cheng say this, she was a little shocked in her heart, and subconsciously asked, "How long has it been?"
"It's been a long, long time...... Long before you were born. Aunt Cheng looked at her, smiled softly, her eyes were full of tears, obviously she was trying to restrain herself, but her voice was still a little trembling: "Counting, it's almost sixteen years now." You have grown so big, and I really married Hou Ye and gave birth to Min'er...... I, I didn't expect to see you again one day, when your mother took you out of the capital, you were less than six months old, soft and small in your arms......!
Fu Rongyue was quite moved when she mentioned Su Juan, if it weren't for the friendship, she would definitely not be able to do it.
She couldn't help but think about the events of her past life. At that time, when she came to the Fu family, she was frightened, and because of her bad reputation, she didn't even dare to go out, and she had no contact with these aunts. met a few times by chance, and was so humiliated by the girls and aunts that he couldn't raise his head. Sometimes I see Aunt Cheng, Aunt Cheng always looks at her from a distance, and her eyes are complicated that she can't understand.
She thought it was contempt and pity, and later, Aunt Cheng invited herself to go to the temple to practice, saying that she was praying for Fu Xingjian, and she only returned to the Fu family once on the day she got married, so she had no chance to contact this aunt again.
It turned out that she had missed a lot of truths at that time!
"It turns out that my mother is a friend of my eldest mother," Fu Qing also heard Aunt Cheng mention this past for the first time, he was also a little surprised, and couldn't help but answer: "Mother, why did you never say it?"
"Old things, plus your aunt has been away from the house for many years, and your father doesn't like others to mention it, so I won't say it anymore. Aunt Cheng shook her head with tears in her eyes and sighed: "Besides, no one is there, what's the point of mentioning it again?" I just looked at the second miss and your aunt looked like this, and my heart was sad for a while......
She didn't say much, but these few words made Fu Rongyue suspicious in her heart.
Fu Xingjian ransomed his life for Aunt Cheng, obviously at the behest of his mother, and at that time, Fu Xingjian was in the middle of his official career, and he privately ransomed himself for the sinner girl, once His Majesty knew about it, there was no hope for his future. He is willing to take the risk to redeem Aunt Cheng, for what? For his mother, or for Aunt Cheng? or, for himself?
After my mother left the house, why didn't my father like others to mention my mother? Is it because of hatred, or is there something else hidden?
And these things, will they have something to do with the mysterious box that my mother brought to Fengxi Village?
One mystery after another entangled in Fu Rongyue's heart, making her puzzled. But she was still a little happy in her heart, in addition to Fu Xingjian and Mei Xiangrong, she suddenly found that she had a new clue.
Fu Rongyue smiled and said: "Since Aunt Cheng is my mother's friend, then my aunt will be Rong Yue's relative in the future!
"Second Miss is very good, very good......" Aunt Cheng was about to cry again, and she was busy wiping her tears and nodding again and again: "Second Miss opened the matter of Rong Hui Ji in Kyoto, I have heard about it! You are so promising, my aunt is really happy for your mother." My aunt used to be a young lady of the official family, and she has also helped the official family over the years, and the Hou Ye trusts her, and there are many things involved in the shop, so you can use the place of the aunt in the future, just send someone to tell the aunt!"
Fu Rongyue nodded again and again, responded with a full mouth, and personally served Aunt Cheng with vegetables.
Fu Rongmin looked at Fu Rongyue with her cheeks on the side, stopped eating, and said happily: "Min'er has another sister in the future, it's good!"
She is young and a young lady, so she can't feel the impact of Fu Rongyue's arrival on her status, so she really welcomes Fu Rongyue.
In Fu Rongmin's heart, Fu Rongqin and Fu Ronghui's two sisters are beautiful and beautiful, but they are both arrogant, and they never regard her and her brother as real family members, let alone be kind to their mothers. Fu Rongyue spoke softly to Aunt Cheng and had a good attitude, and heard that Fu Rongyue's mother was good friends with her mother, and in her heart, she quickly classified Fu Rongyue as her own relatives, and she was closer than the other two sisters who had known her for ten years.
Fu Rongmin's words made the atmosphere of the flower hall more relaxed, and Aunt Cheng also relaxed, chatting with Fu Rongyue while eating.
After a meal, it was unprecedentedly warm.
After breakfast, Aunt Cheng wanted to go back to her yard, Fu Rongmin had already been bought by Fu Rongyue, clinging to Fu Rongyue tightly, saying that she would have to play with Fu Rongyue for a while.
Fu Rongmin looks like Aunt Cheng, her eyes are sparkling, and her innocent eyes make people can't bear to refuse, Fu Rongyue didn't want to spoil her interest, so she agreed to take her to Ronghui Ji to have a look.
"I'll go too. How do you know that Fu Qing heard about it, and he actually smiled and said: "The Ronghui Ji opened by the second sister is now hot in Kyoto, and I will also go to see it." ”
Fu Rongyue was stunned for a moment, but he looked left and right, and pushed Fu Rongyue's shoulder with a smile: "Second sister, don't be stingy, hide it and don't show me!"
Fu Rongyue suddenly understood that Fu Qing had something to say to herself.
She smiled and echoed: "Big brother wants to see it, then let's go." ”
The three of them left the flower hall together, Fu Qing instructed the little girl who followed him to prepare the car, and he led his two younger sisters to the main gate to wait.
Fu Rongyue took a step behind, turned her head slightly, and saw that the two girls were hiding outside the flower hall and looking over here, obviously they were the people Fu Qing was taboo.
The three of them got into the carriage all the time, and the sight that followed them disappeared, and Fu Qing breathed a sigh of relief.
"Big brother has something to say to me?" Fu Rongyue smiled and asked straight to the point.
Fu Qing put away his smile, and his handsome face was dyed with a hint of worry: "Last night, Xiaoxiang Courtyard was haunted, and there was a huge Hou Mansion, and no one went to check it, don't you think it's strange?"
"Everyone said that there are no ghosts, it is me who scares myself. Fu Rongyue said lightly, paying attention to Fu Qing's reaction.
Intuition told her that Fu Qing must know something!
Sure enough, I saw a thin anger welling up on Fu Qing's face, and he snorted coldly with disdain: "Yes, there are no ghosts, but you are not scaring yourself, but someone is pretending to be a ghost and wants to harm others!"
"Big brother knows who it is?" Fu Rongyue looked at her, and a strange feeling suddenly rose in her heart, and she was also impressed by Fu Qing. It seems that the most calm Fu family actually has a pair of discerning eyes, and he can't see through it, if it weren't for Aunt Cheng saying that he is the son of the old man today, he is afraid that he would have to remain silent.
Fu Qing was silent for a moment before he said, "I haven't found out who it is, but whoever benefits from this matter is the person behind the scenes." ”
Fu Rongmin heard his brother and sister talking about the haunting, his eyes purred, and he suddenly pulled his brother's sleeve and whispered: "Big brother, they can pretend to be ghosts to scare the second sister, can we also pretend to be ghosts to scare them?"
Fu Rongyue and Fu Qingben were contemplatingly thinking, and when they suddenly heard Fu Rongmin say this, they both raised their heads and glanced at each other, and nodded in surprise.
It works!
Fu Rongyue's mind was in a hurry, and she soon had an idea, she raised her eyes, looked at Fu Qing and said slowly: "Big brother wants to investigate the people behind the scenes who pretend to be ghosts, and Rong Yue wants to get rid of the fate of being played with." I won't give up if they don't scare me to death, tonight, the person who pretends to be a ghost and scares Rong Yue will definitely appear again, so we might as well do it......"
