Festival of the Year 353
Zheng Guogong's Mansion has been in dire straits this year, but Feng Qiao has been awake until dawn.
When she woke up in the morning, Feng Qiao only felt a dizzy pain in her head, her throat was dry and itchy, she lay on the bed in a daze and looked at the beam on the top of the bed for a long time, always feeling as if she had forgotten something, and she had a feeling that she didn't know what night it was.
When Hong Aya came in, she saw Feng Qiao lying on the bed in a daze with the quilt in her arms, and couldn't help but chuckle: "Miss is awake?"
Feng Qiao nodded, and when he got up from the bed, his whole body was very sore, and his brain was more like he was stuffed with cotton wool, and even his reaction was a little slower: "When did they leave last night, and who sent Sister Guo?"
Hong Aya said with a smile: "Miss Liao, they accompanied Miss to eat New Year's dumplings and left not long ago, it was Miss Liao and Baili Gongzi who sent Miss Guo back, at that time Miss also said that she wanted to go, but she was drunk, and Liao Shizi stopped Miss from going with her." ”
"When did Liao Chuxiu leave?"
Not long after Miss Liao left, after talking to Miss for a while, Shizi also left. ”
Feng Qiao's mind was buzzing, and she vaguely remembered something, as if Liao Chuxiu was indeed talking to her, but she was completely unimpressed by the rest of the matter, and she didn't remember what they said at that time.
She didn't expect that her alcohol consumption was so bad, and she actually drank a broken piece.
"When did Daddy come back?" Feng Qiao asked, rubbing his eyebrows.
Hongya said: "It's almost five watches, and when the second master came back, the young lady was already asleep, and the second master didn't ask the slave maid to call the young lady to get up, but just accompanied the young lady outside to keep the New Year's eve until dawn." ”
Feng Qiao listened to Feng Qizhou staying outside for most of the night, and instantly woke up, she had said that she would keep the New Year with Feng Qizhou, but who knew that she had slept all night.
"Where's Daddy?"
"The second master has gone back to change clothes, but the young lady is going to get up?"
Feng Qiao hurriedly got up from the bed: "Get up, Hong Aya quickly help me get my clothes, I'm going to say hello to my father." ”
Seeing Feng Qiao's panicked appearance, Hong Aya hurriedly stepped forward to serve her to wash, and after waiting for the washing, Feng Qiao picked out an extremely festive red jacket and skirt to wear, with white rabbit fur on the cuffs and collar, and a small hat on her head that was also plush and fluffy, which made her more and more pink.
When Feng Qiao saw Feng Qizhou, Feng Qizhou was talking to the person next to him, he sat sideways at the table like that, and he didn't sleep all night, although his eyes were a little blue and black, it didn't damage his complexion at all.
"Qingqing drank wine last night, let the kitchen prepare some decanting soup, and the morning meal is also lighter, she is not sweet and will have less sweets in the future... Also, instruct the concierge that if someone comes to the door to give a gift during this time, those who can push it will push it directly, and those who can't push it will be written down first, and then return the gift one by one after the seventh day of the new year, so as not to let them disturb Qingqing's tranquility. ”
Feng Qiao listened to Feng Qizhou's whispered voice, his heart was warm, and he called out in a coquettish voice: "Daddy!"
Feng Qizhou heard Feng Qiao's voice, and before he could react, he saw his daughter with a bright smile on her face, and flew towards him, Feng Qizhou was startled, for fear that Feng Qiao would fall, so he quickly got up and stretched out his hand to catch Feng Qiao, and after she stood firm, he knocked on her head with some trepidation and said: "Little villain, scare dad early in the morning, and I'm not afraid of falling!"
Feng Qiao chuckled: "With my father here, I'm not afraid." ”
The corners of Feng Qizhou's mouth rose, what in this world can make people happier than being the most powerful in his daughter's heart, he smiled and twisted Feng Qiao's nose, pulled her to sit aside and said: "It's sweet, I don't know who said before that he wanted to stay with me for the New Year, but he slept in the dark?"
Feng Qiao's face was slightly red, she didn't expect her to drink so badly, but she was coaxed by Liao Yihuan to drink a few more glasses of sweet wine, and such a light taste could actually make her drunk.
Seeing Feng Qizhou's teasing look, Feng Qiao said embarrassedly: "That's because someone is drunk, otherwise I will definitely accompany my father..."
Feng Qizhou chuckled, she felt sorry for her hangover last night, rubbed the top of her hair and said, "I've been drunk all night, what's uncomfortable?"
Feng Qiao said coquettishly: "I have a headache." ”
Feng Qizhou hurriedly stretched out his hand to rub her forehead for her, asked people to fetch the decanting soup, and asked the kitchen to send breakfast, and after Feng Qiao drank the decanting soup, the father and daughter sat around the table, talking and laughing while eating.
Feng Qizhou has always loved Feng Qiao, there has never been any rule of eating and sleeping, when the Feng family was still alive in the past, the second room was different from the side, and the old lady Xie would often admonish and detain Feng Qiao because of this, and now that there is no one else in the house, the father and daughter are more comfortable.
Listening to Feng Qiao's soft voice, the smile on Feng Qizhou's face never went down.
After finishing the meal, Feng Qiao and Feng Qizhou talked about yesterday's events in the palace, Feng Qizhou told what happened in the palace last night, Feng Qiao listened to Feng Qizhou talk about Wen Zhenghong being reprimanded by Emperor Yongzhen in front of everyone, and said with a smile: "It seems that the Wen family has not had a good time this year." ”
Feng Qizhou raised his lips: "Emperor Yongzhen has never been at ease with the Wen family, and he has allowed them to keep it for so many years, just because Wen Zhenghong is cautious and has never been caught at fault by him." ”
"Wen Qing's trouble, not only made trouble for himself, but also offended the Wen family and the entire Zheng Guogong Mansion in front of the saint, Emperor Yongzhen is not a soft-hearted person, the Wen and Liu families must know about the events of the year, and they must have used this matter to protect themselves, guess, Emperor Yongzhen can tolerate the Wen family to blackmail him once, will he not tolerate the second time?"
Feng Qiao laughed when he heard this, with Emperor Yongzhen's ruthlessness, let alone the second time, I am afraid that as long as there is such a sign, he will immediately deal with the Wen family.
What happened last night, they did very little, and more of it came from Xiao Yuanzhu's hand, Xiao Yuanzhu's original intention may just be to test the Wen family, and warn Wen Zhenghong by the way, but unfortunately he forgot that the emperor's mind is as deep as the sea, and the person sitting on the throne is not him.
Emperor Yongzhen's mind is so easy to guess, Xiao Yuanzhu may have calculated everything, but he is afraid that he only missed, Emperor Yongzhen, he couldn't tolerate the Wen family.
Feng Qiao said in a coquettish voice: "Jingzhong is really going to be lively now. ”
Feng Qizhou's expression was a little gloomy and said: "They have been stable for so many years, and they should be lively, otherwise how can they be worthy of their generous gifts back then?"
He found out a lot of things, many of which he had not paid attention to, but when he found out, he wanted to kill people.
His plain Su, his child's mother, that beautiful distressing woman, she should have had a stable life, she should have been happy to old age, but because of them, because of the selfishness of these people, because they want to protect themselves, because of their so-called Yin Rong, they were born to abandon their children, and became their bargaining chips in exchange for glory, and they ruined their lives.
Looking at Feng Qiao's little face like a flower, Feng Qizhou suddenly remembered his wife's gentle smile at him, and his eyes turned red.
Feng Qizhou Wensheng talked to Feng Qiao for a while, and then went back to the room under the pretext of resting, but after he got out of the door, he felt a little more depressed in his whole body.
He stood in front of the door for a moment, then turned around and went to the study, and when he entered the door, he went straight to the bookshelf and opened the secret pavilion that had not been opened for a long time.
The painting hanging on the wall of the Secret Pavilion is pale yellow, and the woman in the painting smiles softly, as if she is silently saying something when she looks at him.
Feng Qizhou's fingers caressed the person on the painting, and whispered: "Susu, I came to see you, do you miss me?"
"Today is the first day of junior high school, and another year has passed, and I always feel that you are still by my side, and you have never left..."
"Do you know, yesterday I accompanied our daughter to celebrate the New Year, she was greedy for a cup of drunk, then the amount of wine is the same as you, a few glasses of sweet wine, you can get drunk in a mess..."
"I was guarding her like that last night, only to suddenly find that it was such a small lump at the beginning, but now it is so big, I was wondering, will it be in the blink of an eye, our Qingqing will get married, what should I do if I am reluctant to do it then......"
Feng Qiao stood outside the study, listening to the sound coming from inside, his eyes turned red.
Just now Feng Qizhou said that she was going back to the room to rest, and she wanted to send some leftover incense to help him sleep, but when she didn't want to take the incense, she saw him enter the study.
Feng Qizhou is always smiling in front of her, he will coax her, spoil her, and meet everything she wants, when Feng Qiao saw Feng Qizhou, he was always tall and majestic, but at this time he was trembling, obviously laughing, but his voice was extremely hoarse.
She has always known that her father loves her mother, and her love is very deep, if it weren't for revenge, if she wasn't there, I'm afraid that my father would have gone to accompany her mother a long time ago.
"Miss..."Lingyue said softly.
Feng Qiao carefully closed the door and said in a low voice, "Let's go." ”
Lingyue nodded, and turned around and left with Feng Qiao.
——————
After the Feng family fell, the Feng family's ancestors were not in the capital, except for the Liu family mother and son in Beijing, Feng Qiao's father and daughter had no relatives to leave, and in addition to Feng Qizhou's current status, there was no need to please anyone, so after the whole New Year's Festival, the father and daughter were nested in the mansion, enjoying a rare leisure time, except for the endless stream of people who came to visit the New Year, they almost never went out of the mansion.
It was not until the seventh day of the first lunar month, after the opening of the dynasty, that Feng Qiao went to Guofu to pay New Year's greetings with the festival rites.
The Guo family is luxuriant, far less than the Rong Anbo Mansion, there are only Feng Qiao's father and daughter, plus Guo Ge Lao has always been popular in the court, and his son Guo Baiyan is all in the court, and several grandchildren are all handsome, although Guo Lingsi's incident has lost some face, but the number of people who go to Guo Mansion to pay New Year's greetings is still too many to count.
When Feng Qiao went, Mrs. Guo was taking her daughter-in-law and granddaughter to entertain relatives who came to the door.
Mrs. Guo scolded the clan elder before, although Guo Chongzhen protected her, but in the end she offended a lot of people and caused a lot of gossip, she was angry these days, and now she listened to those yin and yang strange words, and held back her anger, and when she saw Feng Qiao, who was led in by Mama Zhou, she rarely showed a smile.
"Qingqing is here?"
Feng Qiao didn't think that she would be so coincidental, and actually caught up with the "party" of the Guo family's relatives, seeing the eyes staring at her, she smiled calmly: "I thought that the old lady should be able to get some free time after being busy for a long time, so I will come to your old man's house to greet the New Year immediately, I wish you all the best and good luck this year." ”
Mrs. Guo suddenly smiled: "You girl is sweet-mouthed." ”
Mama Zhou had already ordered someone to put away the Boxing Rites, and at this time she said with a smile: "Miss Feng doesn't know, the old lady has been chattering for several days, saying that the kitchen has prepared your favorite food for you, why can't you come yet, if you don't come again, the slave's ears are about to become calloused." ”
"Just talk too much. ”
Old Madam Guo glanced at Mama Zhou, and Feng Qiao pursed her lips and chuckled.
Sitting next to her sat a woman, who looked to be in her thirties, wearing a bright blue embroidered satin jacket, with a light gray lying rabbit on her head, and a face that smiled very eagerly: "Is this the young lady of the Rong Anbo family? ”
Feng Qiao turned his head to look at the man, and Old Madam Guo said a little coldly: "She is the daughter-in-law of my mother's nephew, surnamed Duan, you call her Duan." ”
Feng Qiao smiled when he heard this, and called Mrs. Duan.
Duan smiled kindly, and said with a bit of intimacy: "In the past, I heard that this young lady of Rong'anbo Mansion is very handsome, but I didn't expect to see a real person today, only to know that those people are simply nonsense, how handsome this looks, it is simply a fairy daughter." ”
Feng Qiao smiled lightly: "Mrs. Duan has won the award. ”
Mrs. Duan said with a smile: "Where is the award, I, I, have always loved to tell the truth, in a few years, I am afraid that you will be the best in the world, more beautiful than the lady in the palace." ”
Mrs. Guo listened to Mrs. Duan's unobtrusive words, and frowned tightly, what does it mean to be more beautiful than the lady in the palace, this sounds like a compliment at first glance, but in fact, how many women in this capital are willing to enter the palace?
What's more, the women in the harem are the most important, and the most taboo thing is that some people say that they are not as beautiful as others, if Duan's words get out, they are simply making trouble for Feng Qiao!
Guo Lingsi also didn't like it, seeing that Duan Shi still wanted to pull Feng Qiao's hand while speaking, she frowned and stood up and said, "Grandmother, my brother gave me a parrot the day before yesterday, the coat color is extremely beautiful, I want to take Qingqing over to have a look." ”
Mrs. Guo also knew what these relatives around her looked like, and she couldn't wait to grab the pole and climb up, she naturally wouldn't let Feng Qiao stay here to be watched, so she said: "It's okay, you young people don't wander around me, an old woman, go out to play by yourself, but Qingqing has to stay in the house for lunch, and I'll let the kitchen be your favorite lion head." ”
Feng Qiao agreed with a smile, and Guo Lingsi led Feng Qiao out of the courtyard.
Guo's second wife, Zhou, saw that Guo Lingsi was friendly with Feng Qiao, thinking of Feng Qizhou behind Feng Qiao, and hurriedly wanted her daughter to follow and have a good relationship with Feng Qiao, but Guo Wanqing was bored and pouted, but Duan's daughter and another girl came out, and under the pretext of going to see the parrot together, they insisted on following Guo Lingsi and the two.
