Chapter 18: The Past

Today, Mama Liu specially made a stomach-warming black rice eight-treasure porridge for Fu Tianqing, and cooked it for two hours on medium heat, and the sweet rice fragrance came to people's nostrils. There is also a drawer of xiaolong soup dumplings and a yam jujube mud cake, Mama Liu's technique is very delicate when she looks at it, and the plate of milky white pattern yam and jujube mud cake is even more hooked up people's gluttony.

Mama Liu deliberately only made a small number of small plates of pastries, for fear that Fu Tianqing would eat too much. Fu Tianqing has tasted a lot of good things, but he still nodded secretly to Mama Liu's carefulness, many times, not caring about the master will only be reflected in these tiny details.

Just after breakfast, there was the sound of footsteps and the sound of people talking in the courtyard. Fu Tianqing listened carefully for a while, and realized that it was the old lady Fu who sent someone to send her a few books and a set of excellent study treasures, and instructed her to write down everything she read every day, what she learned.

Through the gap in the screen window, Fu Tianqing vaguely saw the scene outside, the little guy next to Mrs. Fu spoke fluently, and there was a degree of advance and retreat, although the little guy looked a little scholarly temperament, and his face should be good-looking, and Zi Di, who was talking to him, had no special reaction, but Zihua and Zixiao on the side were slightly red.

The girl's mind is mostly obvious and innocent, Fu Tianqing looked at her with a slight smile on her face, for her innocence and stupidity

Today's Fushengzhai seems to be a special existence, but the feet have spread to various courtyards after what happened just after the front foot.

Fu Xinqing, who is in the fourth room, is unhappy again, she has been a favored young lady in the Fu Mansion for so many years, even if there are some things behind Fu Xiangqing, it doesn't make her feel uncomfortable, but losing to Fu Xiangqing makes her very unwilling.

Mrs. Fu barely finished handling today's affairs, and couldn't help but think of Mrs. Wu Kun's words, and faintly felt uneasy about Fu Qianqing's marriage this time, if what Wu Kun said was true, then the three girls should not marry into the Han family, after all, she was born in October, not to be rich and noble, but to hope that she can live in peace wherever she sees.

The sun outside the house is just right, and the girl sitting under the porch is using her free time to do needlework, which is rare at the moment. At this time, no one would have thought that the Fu Mansion was about to usher in another happy event.

In the small hall of Ming Zhuxuan, Fu Xiangqing was sitting with his brother Fu Yun playing chess and talking. Fu Yun hadn't been back to the inner house for a long time, if it weren't for Fu Xiangqing giving him a message three times and five times, I'm afraid he would still be busy outside.

The maid Cuiyu was gently fanning beside her, Fu Xiangqing's beautiful face was focusing on the chessboard, but her thoughts were not focused on one thing, only to hear her say at the same time: "Did my brother ask my father what high hopes my grandfather had for the three girls?" ”

Fu Yun was also like her, looking at the chessboard and replied: "Father said that my grandfather has hope for every child of the Fu family, and he doesn't want the third sister to lose the face of the Fu family after marrying in the future." ”

Fu Xiangqing frowned, Luozi's hand paused, and then said: "It's not so simple, grandfather obviously has greater expectations for the three girls, the books that people send over today are not read by ordinary women, what can a granddaughter who is about to marry do to use Zizhi Tongjian and history books?" The Four Books and Five Classics are not easy for her, but now she wants to study the general history of the country, and her grandfather must have some plans. ”

Fu Yun was also shocked when she heard this, and said, "Grandfather did this?" But my father obviously didn't want to say the real reason, and you know his temperament. I want to start with my grandfather, have you ever asked my grandmother, doesn't she know about it? ”

Fu Xiangqing shook his head and said: "Grandmother also found out suddenly, grandfather didn't even say hello, but strangely, grandmother didn't ask." ”

Fu Yun didn't expect that there were so many strange things about this, and she didn't expect that her grandmother, who had always been strong, would be abnormal this time.

"What did Grandmother tell you?"

"I deliberately said in front of my grandmother that my grandfather seemed to value the third sister very much, and also said that the third sister was allowed to enter and leave my grandfather's study, and she was only slightly displeased with the old man, but she didn't get to the bottom of it, this is the first time I have seen my grandmother compromise. Since my grandfather returned home from outside, although he is still the same as his grandmother in every way, it is a little different, and I still wonder if it is because of the matter of Aunt Zhao back then, which made the two of them suspicious. ”

Fu Xiangqing remembered that the beautiful aunt's tone gradually became a little ethereal with her memory, and that year was also the time when her father died.

Fu Yun asked, "Are you talking about the third uncle's biological mother, Aunt Zhao?" ”

Fu Xiangqing was summoned back by her brother's rational voice, she looked at him and said: "Yes, it is because of this incident that grandfather and grandmother quarreled so much for the first time, although grandfather dotes on Aunt Zhao, he has always respected his grandmother, and the two have respected each other for many years. ”

Fu Yun is different from the girls who are so careful, especially about the inner house, now I listen to my sister say this to study it carefully, if you say that the heart knot can not be without, only after so many years should be passed, it is right, with the Fu family's door style grandfather should not be a concubine to deal with grandmother. Even if this aunt is the biological mother of the third uncle, she can't go beyond the master in terms of identity.

Fu Yun knew what his sister meant, and he said: "Even if grandmother is really related to the death of that Aunt Zhao, grandfather's heart knot should be buried for so many years." Are you worried that your grandfather was distracted from your grandmother because of the events of the past, which caused your grandmother not to interfere in this matter now, grandfather is not the kind of narrow-minded person, and in his heart the family is always more important than these little things. ”

In one sentence, the degree to which Old Lady Fu looked at the problem was dissected, and I have to say that Fu Yun's observation is indeed keen.

Fu Xiangqing was even more worried after hearing this, "I thought that the two old men were still angry with each other, but when my brother said this, my grandfather really valued the third girl, and finally turned her into an outcast, and now I see that I am going to fall short."

Fu Yun said: "Don't worry, it can't be a climate for such a little time, don't forget that your father is not a grandfather, he doesn't have a good impression of Fu Tianqing, as long as she takes eye medicine, she will be beaten back." Even her mother will ignore her again, and what her mother cares about most is her father, otherwise she wouldn't have left Fushengzhai alone for so many years, but she can't blame them, who called Fu Tianqing's birth blocked the heirs of the long house. ”

Fu Xiangqing is not worried that Fu Tianqing can regain the favor of the long house, after all, so many years have not been in vain, she is just unconsciously worried when she sees Old Lady Fu's eyes that see everything.
