One hundred and seven, change
"Let's go inside, let's talk!" Yi Qian hugged the child and said to everyone.
The furnishings of the palace have hardly changed, but they have become simpler. Ning Xi looked around, a little surprised, and couldn't help asking: "I heard that after I left, the revolutionary party entered Beijing and caused disaster to the homes of the Manchurian nobles. When I look at the palace, it seems to be intact! ”
"I've written to tell you it's okay, and you still don't believe it." Fu Jin smiled, "The situation at that time was really miserable, many people were kicked out of their homes by them, and many others were emptied, but our palace was fine." The revolutionaries had also come in, but they only took some of the things they had and left. At that time, we also wondered, but when we inquired later, we found out that because you, Amma, were once imprisoned because of the Boxers, and when you were the prince, you made good connections and helped the poor, and those revolutionary parties felt that he was righteous, so they didn't embarrass him too much. ”
Ning Xi sighed: "It seems that the ancients are not right at all, Saion lost his horse, and he didn't know if it was a blessing." I didn't expect that the fall of the palace would be such a result. ”
"In comparison, the capital is miserable." Fu Jin said, "People have more sympathy for the weak, let alone those who dare to participate in the revolution." As soon as they heard that your Amma family's Gege had been wronged in the capital and had been forced to leave, they were embarrassed everywhere. Besides, Dutong An Cheng and Li Hongzhang got closer before, which paid it back, and it fell into their hands. ”
"And what about them now?" Ning Xi asked with interest.
"I moved to Mao'er Hutong and lived with ordinary people and the powerful people who were down together at that time." Fu Jin said, "Not long after the Qing Dynasty died, some people said that they were going to slaughter the Manchus, which scared everyone to change their surnames. Now, Xilin Jueluo has changed his surname to Lin, and he will be called the Lin family in the future. ”
"Hat Alley?" Ning Xi pondered.
"Xi'er, you are not allowed to take any risks!" Fu Jin suddenly became serious, "It's been so long, they have nothing to do with you, don't mention it again, okay?" ”
"I know," Ning Xi said, but she had another thought in her heart, "It's just that Sister Jin'er also lives there, and I haven't seen her for a long time, so I miss her a little." ”
"You mean the eldest young master's Fujin, right?" Fu Jin said, "It's a good boy, when I heard that you were in that house, she was the only one who was always on your side." It's a pity that it's so pitiful, in the past eight years, the eldest young master has not heard from him at all, I think, I'm afraid he won't be able to come back. ”
"Yes, even if that person comes back by luck, it is unknown whether he will get married or whether he will recognize Sister Jin'er in the past so many years." Ning Xi said with a gloomy expression, "In Shanghai, I have seen many people leave their wives behind their parents to marry, stay away for many years, and finally stop marrying again. Pity his wife has been guarding his parents and taking him to do his filial piety, but in the end he ended up not being recognized. ”
"Outside the day shouting that this is to get rid of old ideas and liberate women, I don't know if it will really solve the problem." Fu Jin said, "By the way, you have been away for so many years, have you met the right person?" If you think it's good, just get married, we Manchus themselves don't have as many rules as Han people. ”
Ning Xi didn't know what to say for a while, just lowered his head and said no more.
"E-Niang is telling the truth, don't take it seriously. I know you're successful in your career now, and you don't have that kind of heart. But you should still find a companion to live with, so that Eniang can rest assured! ”
Ning Xi nodded slightly, remembered something again, and asked, "By the way, why don't you see Hui'er?" How is she? Since leaving Beijing, Hui'er has been a topic they avoided in their letters, and no one took the initiative to mention it, let alone Ningxi.
"Married." Fu Jin Road.
"It's to marry to the Dutong Mansion, oh, no, it should be the Lin Mansion now, right?"
"Nope." Fu Jin sighed, "It's also a poor person, a mistake back then made her pay a terrible price." After the child was picked up by them, the people of the Lin family never asked Hui'er again, let alone took her away. She, like you, is also a stubborn temper, and if people don't come to pick it up, she resolutely refuses to take the initiative to find it. This came and went, and it was delayed. A few years ago, I heard that Lao Li, a widower in the north of the city, was going to marry Xu Xian, so she took the initiative to ask to marry her, and I and you couldn't stop me. That Lao Li is twenty years older than her, and if she can marry a young and beautiful person like Hui'er, she naturally doesn't mind that she is not perfect. Before leaving, she said that she regretted her actions and now she wants to start over and live a good life. ”
"Why is she so impulsive," Ning Xi was a little surprised, "Didn't I suppress the matter?" You and I don't say it, the Dutong Mansion has also told her, who will know her past? ”
"Maybe it's because I'm not having a good time in my heart, right?" Fu Jin said, "There are some things that can block Youyou's mouth and deceive others, but you can't deceive your own heart." Xi'er, she has repented and paid such a big price, you just look at the love from childhood to adulthood, don't worry about her anymore, okay? ”
"I know." Ning Xi nodded. She didn't count Hui'er in her revenge this time. Although it can be forgiven, if you continue to be a good sister, it is absolutely impossible.
"By the way, how's that kid?" Ning Xi thought of this and asked.
"You mean Hui'er's child?" Fu Jin asked, lowered his head, and said, "It's also a pitiful, you can imagine such a pair of parents." After entering the Dutong Mansion, the third young master's newly married Aunt Xiao really thought it was your child, and she refused to take good care of it. The child's father is unreliable, you should know this better than me. When the child was three years old, he had a high fever and almost ran out of breath. Aunt Xu Jia, who was still the second young master, took care of her every step of the way, and only then snatched the child back from the ghost gate. After that, Lin Ancheng made the decision and passed the child to the second young master, who was raised by Aunt Xu Jia. ”
"Xu Jiaqin's heart?" Ning Xi didn't expect it, but after thinking about it, it made sense. When she was in the Dutong Mansion, Qian Xiuwen couldn't get pregnant, and now she finally has a child, so she naturally won't let go of this opportunity to raise a child. Thinking of this, Ning Xi asked, "Then Qinxin should treat that child well, right?" ”
"It's a blessing in misfortune," Fu Jin smiled slightly, "Aunt Xu Jia regards him as her own, and he has shelter over there." Besides, the second young master's aunts have never had children, if they continue like this, he will be the rightful heir. ”
"The child is innocent, and it is my sin that he is not doing well." Ning Xi sighed, "If I had given up my position to Hui'er, he wouldn't have to suffer this sin, at least he would have had his biological mother by his side." ”
"It's not your fault, don't blame yourself." Fu Jin held her hand and said, "If it were me, I wouldn't want to give up my position to someone who hurt me." Besides, if Hui'er marries the third young master, with the character of the third young master, her life will never be better than yours. It's better to be like now, although her husband is older, but he takes good care of her like a daughter, and she can be regarded as a good home. ”
"However, Qin Xin has a son, and that Qian Xiuwen will definitely not tolerate her." Ning Xi looked clear.
"It's their own business, I don't know." "But I've seen that kid — oh, it's called Fengwu — I've seen it a few times, and he's very good-looking, very strong, and looks more like Hui'er. can protect the child so well, that Aunt Xu Jia must have put a lot of effort into it, right? ”
"Yes," Ning Xi muttered, "Back then, the second young master's favorite concubines were all calculated by Qian Xiuwen, but she survived, and it seems that it is not simple." This time, she raised a child again. It seems that Qian Xiuwen has a headache enough. ”
"That Qian Xiuwen has been very arrogant recently, and someone should treat her." Fu Jin said, "After so many years, the second young master has never married a wife, but only accepted a few concubines. Now, she has regarded herself as the wife of the second young master. Her father's business grew bigger and bigger, and with this guarantee, she was almost lawless. ”
"If she had kept to herself, it wouldn't have been her." Ning Xi sneered.
After chatting for a while, and asking about the recent situation of the palace, Ning Xi suddenly planned to go around the street to see what kind of changes had happened in the capital in the past few years since he left. Fu Jin was a little uneasy and said, "You just came back, let's have a good rest." There is time to go out, so there is no need to rush. ”
"It's okay, I'm not tired." Ning Xi smiled, "I didn't look carefully when I came back just now, but now I want to see enough." Before I came back, I had people prepare a shop in the capital, so I'm going to check it out now to prevent them from being lazy. ”
"Your Amma has seen it for you a few times, and the decoration of the store is elegant, which is very suitable for business." Fu Jin said, "If you must go here, I will accompany you as a mother." ”
"Thank you, E-niang." Ning Xi smiled happily.
The streets were as lively as ever, except for the fact that people had their braids cut. Ning Xi looked at everything familiar around him, and his heart warmed. I'm back, I'm finally back.
The capital plans to set up two restaurants, and the main store is located in the center of the city, in a prosperous area. At this moment, the plaque has not been hung up, and the busy guys saw that Fujin was coming, so they stopped and greeted: "Hello, madam." ”
Fu Jin nodded to them one by one, walked to the center of the hall, stood beside Ning Xi, pointed at her and said to everyone: "Everyone is optimistic, this one will be your boss in the future, remember?" ”
"Good at home!" Everyone greeted one after another.
Ning Xi looked at the furnishings of the store, looked at the walls that were not completely painted, and asked, "Who is responsible for the decoration during this time?" ”
"It's me," said an uncle in his forties.
"Xi'er, this is Uncle Lei, who was transferred from the factory by your Amma." Fu Jin introduced.
"Uncle Lei." Ning Xi nodded, then turned to the others and said, "It's okay, you guys can continue to be busy." ”
The guys nodded and continued to get busy.
