Chapter 004
At this moment, Fu Jia was staring at Fu Jun with burning eyes, looking at her from head to toe. Fu Jun is wearing a shirt and pants with a cloud gauze today, combing a double bun, only two headbands are tied to her hair, and there is only a gold lock on her chest, and there are no accessories on her body.
Seeing Fu Jun's dress, Fu Jia's heart was overjoyed. Look at the sky blue embroidered canton gauze dress on his body, and touch the pearl hairpin on his head, this joy adds another three points. When he looked at Fu Jun again, the corners of Fu Jia's mouth couldn't help but tilt downward, with an expression of "you dirt bun".
Fu Jun has long been accustomed to Fu Jia's hostility. This second sister has a conflict of interest with her. The so-called one mountain is difficult to accommodate two tigers, and one house is difficult to accommodate two sprouts. It's about their current situation.
Fu Jia was born cute, coquettish, and laughing, very likable, in the popular phrase of Fu Jun's previous life, it was "cute". And Fu Jun himself is also born with snow-white skin, dark eyebrows and eyes, although he doesn't like to laugh, but his dull appearance is another kind of "cute".
In Mrs. Hou, Fu Jia is more favored. However, if there are any guests such as wives and grandmothers in the house, most of them think that Fu Jun is even more painful. Therefore, Fu Jia regarded Fu Jun as an opponent and wanted to suppress her everywhere.
In fact, according to Fu Jun's observation in recent days, the large and small radish heads in this mansion are not as favored as Fu Jue in the second room. Mrs. Hou hurt Fu Jue to the bottom of her heart, but she hated Fu Jia for not being able to see through it, but she was lying down in vain.
Fu Jun was thinking wildly, and suddenly saw the curtain of the main room lifted, and a mother dressed in a very plain dress walked out, but it was Mrs. Hou's mother, the most capable mother in charge of the house. Because she was a little decent in the past, everyone also respected her, and they all smiled and greeted her when they saw her.
Mother Yu first greeted the masters, and Fang bowed her head and said, "The old lady invites a few masters in." Then he personally opened the curtain.
Fu Zhuang entered first, and the rest of the people followed, and the group entered the main room.
Mrs. Zhao of Pingnanhou wore a long pine green tuanhua kudzu gauze gown, which was a ginger kudzu gauze horse-faced skirt, sitting on a hexagonal armchair with a openwork carved Xiantao Shou pattern, with a kind smile on her face, looking at the juniors in front of her.
She was well maintained, her hair was jet-black, coiled in a bun, and she had a tiger-skin hosta with a very good head in it. The skin on the face is white and smooth, and it looks very energetic. However, Fu Jun always felt that Mrs. Hou's face was a little resentful. The corners of her eyes and mouth drooped a little, and if she didn't make an expression, she would look like she was worried.
"Come on in, it's hot outside." Mrs. Hou greeted everyone with a smile.
Everyone stepped forward to greet him.
After everyone returned to their seats, Mrs. Hou first looked at Fu Zhuang and asked with concern: "Da Lang had a hard time yesterday, but was he tired?" ”
"If you go back to your mother, your son is not tired, but your mother is worried." Fu Zhuang hurriedly got up from his chair and bowed back.
"Just sit down for me." Mrs. Hou hated him, "On this hot day, you are not tired of standing and sitting, I am tired of looking at it." If you do this again, I won't dare to talk to you again. ”
The room laughed as soon as he said this. For a while, there was a burst of laughter in the Huifeng Pavilion, and it was a peaceful scene.
Fu Zhuang and Fu Ting arrived in Beizhuang the night before.
The weather has been really hot in the past two days, and even the saint has gone to the palace to escape the heat, and the six departments have been given leave, so that the officials can take turns to rest. Coincidentally, the two brothers rested on the same day, so they made an appointment to visit their mother in Bezhuang. Originally, Fu Geng was supposed to come, but the book he compiled suddenly went wrong and had to stay in the Hanlin Academy to correct it, so he didn't come.
"How many days/days of leave are given in the yamen?" Mrs. Hou asked Fu Zhuang again.
"If I returned to my mother, I was given three days off." Fu Zhuang replied respectfully. This time he didn't get up, but he also bowed his head slightly in his seat, and his attitude was very respectful.
"Then you can rest here for a few days. Your courtyard is quiet, and you have always been quiet, but it is just right. Mrs. Hou said.
"Grandmother, our yard is not quiet." Fu Jia suddenly interjected in a delicate voice.
"Oh, why did Jia'er say that?" Mrs. Hou asked with an interesting smile.
"Because the second brother is here. The second brother loves to talk the most. Fu Jia tilted his head and said, looking extremely innocent and pleasing. The relationship between the twins has always been very good, and because Fu Cong was half an hour earlier than Fu Jia, Fu Cong became an elder brother.
When the old lady heard this, she burst out laughing. The Zhang family on the side was disgusted with Fu Jia: "Nonsense again, where is your second brother arguing about you, you are arranging it like this." ”
The old lady was busy protecting her head and said, "Don't hold the child in the eldest daughter-in-law, I'm very good to look at Jia'er, the child's family, don't you say anything if you have anything?" ”
Zhang hurriedly got up and answered yes.
Mrs. Hou summoned Fu Chen and Fu Cong's brothers over, and first instructed Fu Cong: "You are the elder brother, you should let more of your sister." Fu Cong was busy. Mrs. Hou stroked their heads again and asked them kindly, "Can you sleep well?" Was it hot last night? ”
Fu Chen is not yet ten years old this year, and he invited his husband to enlighten him a few years ago, and now he is studying at home, and he looks like a little adult. His face was very similar to Fu Zhuang, and his demeanor also had a bit of Fu Zhuang's shadow, so he bowed down politely and replied: "If you go back to your grandmother, your grandson is not hot." "That's right.
Fu Cong is more than a year younger than Fu Chen, and he is lively by nature, not a person who can hide his temperament, so he rushed to the side and said: "Old lady, old lady, I'm not hot, I also slept well, you see, I still have the marks on my face." His words really confirmed what Fu Jia said.
Everyone laughed, especially Mrs. Hou. She also picked up Fu Cong's face and looked at it carefully, and called Yu's mother next to her: "Go and find my glasses, I'll take a closer look at the marks on Brother Cong'er's face." When Fu Cong heard this, he became more and more energetic, and he leaned his face towards Mrs. Hou, and the people in the room laughed even more happily.
Yu's mother really wanted to go down to get her glasses, but Zhang hurriedly stopped her and said with a smile: "Mom is not standing yet, you are also joining in the fun." He scolded Fu Cong again: "Don't get off your grandmother quickly." How old are they, and they're still so naughty. The tone was not very harsh. The atmosphere in the room was extremely harmonious for a while.
Fu Jun looked coldly at the scene of this mother's filial piety and grandson's filial piety, and felt very ironic.
To see if a person smiles from the heart, look at whether there are wrinkles at the corners of their eyes. The smirk's eyes have no crow's feet, so Mrs. Hou is carved. Although her face was full of smiles, the lines at the corners of her eyes were only a few very light marks.
Also, when she first saw them, Mrs. Hou habitually squinted. The expression only lasted a third of a second on her face, so fast that it was hard to catch. Fu Jun believed that no one could detect it except her.
There are many interpretations of the micro-expression of squinting, but Fu Jun feels that there is only one meaning contained in Mrs. Hou's expression: disgust.
It is not only a dislike for the third room, but also a dislike for the big room. Because when Mrs. Fang Cai Hou asked Fu Zhuang what to say, her eyes narrowed very quickly.
Mrs. Hou hates the third room, Fu Jun can understand, it is too normal for a mother-in-law to hate her concubine, and Mrs. Hou has never hidden this. However, why did she hate Fu Zhuang?
Fu Zhuang is the eldest son, with a good character, peaceful, and leading the errand of the head of the household. Even if people's hearts are biased, and the old man likes his younger son more, there is no need to dislike his eldest son, right? Unless...... Between Mrs. Hou and Fu Zhuang, something happened.
What kind of contradiction makes a mother so disgusted with her son? Fu Jun was thinking to herself, and suddenly, a crisp laugh came from outside the curtain, interrupting her thoughts. Then a sweet voice said, "Yo, what is this talking about, the old lady is smiling so happily." ”
Before the words fell, the curtain of the door was raised, and a pair of beautiful shadows walked in. The man is tall and handsome, the woman is graceful and graceful, and he is followed by two men, one woman and three children, all of whom are born well, but it is Fu Ting and Cui's who come with the children.
As soon as she saw the family in the second room, Mrs. Hou's expression immediately became different. I saw that the corners of her mouth were upturned, her cheeks were raised and wrinkled, her eyelids were contracted, and a few deep crow's feet finally appeared at the corners of her eyes. That's a smile that really comes from the heart.
"The son (daughter-in-law) is late, please punish the mother." After entering the house, Fu Ting and Cui's first saluted and pleaded guilty. They did come a little late, and the sun had already risen.
Mrs. Hou feigned anger and said: "I only came at this time, and I should be punished." After that, he couldn't hold it back and laughed first, and then asked Fu Ting with a pretended face: "You say, how should I punish you?" ”
Fu Ting smiled and bowed: "Just punish your son Ming'er to sweep the yard for you, is it good for my mother?" ”
Fu Ting's words were funny and thoughtful, and Mrs. Hou was in a good mood, so she laughed and said, "Okay, that's it." Ming'er, you have to get up early, if you don't come to sweep the yard, I won't follow. ”
As soon as he said this, all the people in the room laughed.
So, Fu Ting and Cui's took the opportunity to accuse Fu Zhuang and a few others. Everyone stood and sat for a while to greet the salute and say goodbye, and the adults in the few rooms returned to their seats. The children were seatless, except for Fu Cong, who was held in the arms of Mrs. Hou, the rest were standing beside their parents.
The second room now has two sons and a daughter, belonging to the Cui family and two aunts. Among them, the eldest son Fu Jue was born by Cui's family, about a year younger than Fu Cong, and ranked third among the boys in Fuzhong; The second son, Fu Xiuxing, was born by Aunt Zhou, and was still a little doll who could just walk; The other three girls, Fu Yao, were born to Aunt Ma, who was one year older than Fu Jun.
Although the Cui family only gave birth to one son, his position in the palace is extremely stable. Her maiden family, the Cui family, is the head of the four major families of this dynasty, and she is the daughter of the concubine, and her status is not comparable to ordinary people. Back then, this family affair was also asked for by Master Hou and Mrs. Hou.
