Chapter 626
After a while, a steward came to report, and there were already several ladies in front of the road, most of whom were family members of middle-level officials, and Pei did not dare to specialize, so he first asked Mrs. Pei for instructions, and then arranged for Feng and Wu to go to the front to entertain guests.
At one time, someone reported that Mrs. Xie of Zhan Shifu was here, and Mrs. Pei knew that Fu Jun and the Xie family were quite related, so she asked Fu Jun to go to the front and invite them in.
Now Xie Ying has been transferred from Honglu Temple to Zhan Shifu, and Zhan Shi's position is two levels higher than that of Honglu Temple, which shows that the saint attaches great importance to Xie Ying, and Xie Ying still needs to enter the palace from time to time to give lectures for the prince, it can be seen that the saint wants to keep Xie Ying for the prince's use in the future.
It's just that although Xie Ying's official career is very good, when Fu Jun saw Mrs. Xie, her expression was not happy, but a little sad.
"Niangniang......" Seeing Fu Jun coming to greet her, Mrs. Xie blurted out a salutation.
Fu Jun hurriedly stopped her, and said with a slight annoyance: "You are too outward, if you do this again, I will be angry, you still call me the fourth girl." ”
Mrs. Xie laughed, took her hand and said softly: "I still want to be a fourth girl, but now you can't do it, you are Mrs. Meng San." ”
Fu Jun realized that she was speechless for a while, and she forgot that she was a wife, so she also laughed, and Xie Ting on the side ran over to shame her: "You even forgot this, it's really funny." ”
Fu Jun took her hand and patted her lightly, and scolded her: "You come to arrange me again." As he spoke, he pretended to be angry and said, "In vain, I have been thinking about you and looking forward to your coming." ”
Xie Ting hurriedly smiled and pulled Fu Jun to accompany her, and the two of them put their heads together and were very close to each other. Laughing and talking.
Seeing that the two of them were getting along so well, Mrs. Xie first smiled with her eyebrows, and then frowned.
She has always looked at Fu Jun as a good person, and she originally wanted to marry her back as a daughter-in-law, not to mention anything else, just talking about talent and appearance, Fu Jun and Xie Xuan are already very compatible.
It's a pity that she just moved her mind here, and the queen mother gave her marriage, and she only asked for it. originally wanted to find another good family for Xie Xuan, but who thought that Xie Ying had breathed a sigh of relief in the past few days. Thank you, Xuan has been determined by the Holy Minister. In a few days, the princess Liu Zheng will be returned.
This news was like a bolt from the blue, and Mrs. Xie didn't come back to her senses for a few days.
Xie Xuan is almost all the hope of the Xie family in the future, if he is still the master, it will be difficult to do anything in the future. The future is ruined. How can Mrs. Xie's heart not hurt?
But she is not an ignorant fool. After the pain, he also understood that the emperor's move was still aimed at the gate lord family. It doesn't just refer to the Xie family, and the emperor has already given compensation. Xie Ying's current official position indicates that the emperor is still willing to use the Xie family, at least the Xie family can still live in the political center of Beijing in the next two or three decades. As for what happens in the future, we can only talk about it in the future.
has a good son in his own family, and he has no bright future, and Mrs. Xie can't be happy in every way. Fortunately, Fu Jun and Xie Ting talked and laughed, which diverted her mind a little.
Lu Yan and Feng Wei are also here today, and the sisters are now rare to get together, and they are all happy to see each other.
Before the banquet, Fu Jun invited them to the water pavilion in the back garden.
There is a small lake in the back garden, and there is a three-storey large painting boat moored by the lake, and there are water pavilions and flowers, and the scenery is pleasant. It is said that the Duchess of Wenguo Lu likes water, and she loves to watch the lanterns along the river with Meng Zhu during the Shangyuan Festival, which can be a good story.
Now that the Si people are gone, the painting boat is useless, and it is empty at the water's edge day after day, with only carved beams and colorful paintings, but there is no one who appreciates it, but it shows a kind of loneliness.
Fu Jun led the girls to the painting boat, and asked someone to prepare fine fruit tea, and everyone sat in the boat to look at the lake view, chatting some gossip, but it was also comfortable.
When Fu Jia was brought by the maid, what he saw was Fu Jun and Lu Yan and others, laughing softly in the painting boat, the atmosphere was very happy, obviously it was a country of its own, and it was really difficult for others to disturb for a while.
Looking at Fu Jun's smiling face from afar, Fu Jia's face became extremely gloomy.
"Madam, do you want the servant to speak before she goes?" The maid beside him asked softly.
Fu Jia's eyebrows frowned tightly, and after looking at the painting boat for a long time, Fang shook his head and said, "That's it, I'm impatient to come up this time, and I'll talk about it after the banquet." ”
The maid didn't dare to speak, but took a step back and stood up. Gu's mother glanced forward, then looked at Fu Jia, who looked tired and worried, shook her head secretly in her heart, stepped forward and said softly: "In this case, it is okay for Mrs. to go back to the front first, if Mrs. asks, Mrs. will tell the truth." ”
Fu Jia is still quite face-saving for Gu's mother, who is the most useful person next to Zhang's side, and when she heard this, she smiled and said, "Thank you mother for reminding me, I will take care of it." With that, she turned around, and a bright red brocade dress was reflected in the autumn light, as bright and dazzling as a flame.
Gu's mother glanced at her with pity, turned around and looked at the painting boat again, and suddenly paused, her brows already frowned.
Fu Jia took two steps forward, but turned her head and saw that Gu's mother had not followed, but seemed to be looking at someone in the painting boat, she couldn't help but stop her steps, and said strangely: "What is Mom looking at?" Why don't you go? ”
Gu's mother paused, opened her mouth as if she wanted to say something, and then shook her head again and said: "It's nothing, it's just that there is a person there who seems to have seen it somewhere. ”
Fu Jia also looked at the painting boat in the direction she was looking at, but saw that the breeze shook the fallen leaves, the blue water was light, and there were only a few Fu Jun and some maids in the boat, and there was nothing surprising.
She was full of thoughts at this time, and since she didn't take these things to heart, she frowned and said, "Let's get out of here quickly." ”
The maid on the side looked at her face and said, "That's right, mom should go quickly, it's not good for the other end to see us for a while." ”
Gu's mother gathered her mind, answered with a "yes", and followed Fu Jia around the stone path, and the group quickly left the lake and turned onto a path.
I don't know where this trail leads, there are ginkgo biloba planted on the side of the road, and begonias blooming on the branches, and there is a faint fragrance of wood in the wind.
However, Fu Jia didn't notice these at all, she walked from wall to wall, and the wall was still frowning and gloomy.
She was ordered countless times by her mother-in-law, telling her to keep in touch with her sisters, especially the county lord Yongyi, who must maintain sisterhood and not neglect it.
Intellectually, Fu Jia is very aware of Fu Jun's importance, and she knows that her fourth sister is no longer what it used to be. However, intellectually knowing is one thing, she really wants to make Fu Jia short/lower/stature to please Fu Jun, but she can't do anything. (To be continued.) )
