On the deep green bamboo leaves, a thin layer of snow has accumulated

The afternoon sun filters through the layered and interlaced branches and leaves, imprinted on the stone path in front of you, and the leaf shadows are sparsely sprinkled horizontally, pouring a bit of freehand splashing ink.

Fu Jun pushed open a crack in the window drawer, and the cool and cold air came in through the crack in the window, carrying a bit of the tide after the snow in the south.

"The snow is also surprisingly falling, and it has stopped in just half a day." Qingman looked behind Fu Jun and let out an exclamation.

Fu Jun closed the window drawer, turned to look at her and smiled, and Shijiang on the side flipped the clothes on the lavender cage, shook his head and said, "How old are you, you still think about these all day long?" ”

Shen's mother also laughed and said, "That's exactly what happened, Qingman wanted to build a snowman, but I hated that the snow didn't fall." ”

Even Fu Jun laughed when he said this, and a red cloud rose on Qingman's round face, and he whispered: "People just talk about it, and my mother will come to talk about them again." ”

It was still a childlike tone, and even the expression on her face was a little innocent. Fu Jun couldn't help but think of Qingman's appearance when he was a child, and he was a little stunned for a while.

Everyone says that time is like water, and she really hopes so much at this time.

It's just that since the army started, this time has passed very slowly, and now it has only been more than ten days since Meng Yuan left, but Fu Jun feels that a long time has passed.

She sat back at the desk, picked up the tea cup on the table, looked at the light blue tea in the cup, and sighed lightly.

One of the applications of the county lord's mansion is according to the palace system, with Fu Jun's grade, this tea bowl, cup and other things are the same color of rain through the azure official kiln, and the tea in the cup is also Huzhou Gu Zhu who was only appreciated by the Queen Mother. At this moment, sitting in the east room where the earth dragon was burning, Fu Jun only felt that everything was good, except for Meng Yuan's absence, which made her feel a little regretful

Fu Jun stayed back in the county lord's mansion a few days before Xiaoxue.

The reason for her to return to the county lord's mansion this time is very strong. The New Year is approaching, the county lord's mansion also needs to be sprinkled and dusted, and the head of the Huangzhuang Zhuang entered Beijing to send a year's accounts and the income of the village, and the county lord returned to the county lord's mansion to take care of things, and no one dared to refute this reason.

In the past few days, the heads of the * have entered the mansion one after another to ask for peace, paid the bills and gave the New Year's gifts, and the shopkeeper under the name of Meng Yuan has entered the mansion to pay the account, and the life is also fulfilling.

Meng Yuan came to a letter a few days ago, the letter said that everything was safe, and he wrote some scenery along the road, and said that he now wears the underwear made by Fu Jun every day, and praised Fu Jun's good needlework.

Fu Jun held the teacup and recalled the words written in Meng Yuan's letter, a slight smile appeared on the corner of her lips, and Shen's mother was watching from the side, with a warm smile in her eyes.

Although after a woman marries, everything should be given priority to her in-laws' family. However, with a mother-in-law like Pei's there, Shen's mother also felt that it was okay if these rules were not followed, and Fu Jun went back to the county lord's mansion for the winter, and Shen's mother agreed very much.

The girls in their family are weak when they are small, and they are quite cold in winter, but there is no dragon fire wall in the Linqing Pavilion, so they rely on those few carbon basins, which are far less warm than the county lord's mansion.

"Luping, you went to get the record and I'll take a look." Fu Jun commanded softly. Now that the income of several Zhuangzi has come out, she has not yet closed the account, and when she sees that there is nothing at hand, she wants to take it and calculate it.

Lu Ping agreed, and went to the room, and after a while, he came over with the account book, and brought the calculation plan with him, Fu Jun put down the tea cup and sat on the side of the desk to close the account.

Since being awarded the title of Yongyi County Lord, the four imperial villages under Fu Jun's name have entered more and more every year, and the silver taels handed over this year add up to nearly six hundred taels, which is quite unexpected by Fu Jun. Coupled with the shops under Meng Yuan's name, etc., the income of Sanfang this year totaled 5,700 taels, which can be regarded as a lot of gains.

In addition, the heads of the villages also sent a lot of wild vegetables, rice grains, self-brewed wine in the village, etc., and the treasury of the county lord's mansion was full.

It was not good to keep these things alone, so in the next few days, Fu Jun divided these things into several parts and sent them to the Xie family of his grandfather Wang Jia and other families in Pingnanhou's mansion as New Year's gifts.

By the time we were done, it was December.

In the early morning of this day, Fu Jun summoned Ah Jiu to come over and discuss with him about the construction of the Jinling Girls' School workshop, and the two said a few words, and Shen's mother lifted the curtain and walked in, saying, "Niangniang, someone from the Pingnan Hou Mansion is here." ”

Her voice was a little dull, Fu Jun glanced at her, and saw that her expression was stern, which was very different from usual, and Fu Jun felt a moment in her heart.

Mother Shen is rarely like this, and she can't say what happened to the Pingnanhou Mansion.

Ah Jiu stood up at this time and said very interestingly: "Let's go back and check first, and then Ming'er will reply to Niangniang." ”

Fu Jun smiled, and Ah Jiu walked out of the house.

When the door behind Ah Jiu closed, Shen's mother took two steps forward and lowered her voice: "Niangniang, the third wife is gone." ”

Fu Jun raised her head in shock and looked at Shen's mother.

Zheng is dead? So fast? She thought that the Zheng family would be able to hold out for a while.

"When?" She asked.

Mother Shen shook her head and said, "The old slave didn't ask, Mrs. Li is waiting outside now." ”

Fu Jun nodded: "Hurry up and call her in." ”

After a while, Mrs. Li walked in. She was wearing a gray jacket and skirt, with a white linen belt around her waist, and when she saw Fu Jun, she saluted and said, "Niangniang, the third wife is gone." ”

Fu Jun bowed his head and said, "I know, Steward Li hurry up." ”

Mrs. Li straightened up, and Fu Jun asked her: "I went to see my mother once in September, and she slept well." Has your condition worsened recently? ”

Mrs. Li said: "If you go back to Niangniang, the third wife's illness is already serious, and Doctor Lu is saying that she can't survive this year." A few days ago, the third wife slept longer and longer, and could only wake up for one hour a day, but yesterday the third wife slept all day, and when the next person delivered the medicine at night, she found that the third wife was gone. Because it was late at night and there was a curfew outside, the third master told him to report the funeral again today. ”

Fu Jun nodded, and Mother Shen said softly: "Niangniang, I still have to inform the Guogong Mansion, and then I want to ask Niangniang to show me, will Niangniang return to the Gongfu Mansion first, or go back to Pingnanhou Mansion directly?" ”

"Mother Shen will clean up first, and after a while, we will go back to Pingnanhou Mansion directly." Fu Jun said, "My father will send someone to the Guogong Mansion, even if the mansion prepares for the funeral, I still have to rush back first." ”

This is a mother's funeral, even if Fu Jun is a stepdaughter, she needs to go back as soon as possible, and she can't wait for Pei Shi and others to prepare things.

Shen's mother promised and went down to prepare.

Li Niangzi said again: "Niangniang is right, the third master has sent Steward Zhu to report the news to the Guogong Mansion." ”

Fu Jun knew that Fu Geng would arrange it like this, so he asked Mrs. Li to go down to drink tea first, and ordered someone to prepare plain clothes, and replace all the things with plain colors, etc., and the county lord's mansion was busy again.

When Fu Jun's carriage passed by the gate of the Hou Mansion, he saw that the lanterns on the door had been replaced with white, and there were many gorgeous carriages parked in front of the door.

The mourners have come one after another, and it is just the right time for Fu Jun to come back at this time.
