Fu Ke said in a flat tone: "My daughter has inquired about it, and I went to Sister Mi's house to ask." Sister Mi also said that Jiang Xi and the fourth sister did not get along well in Gusu, and Sister Mi vaguely heard that when the fourth sister left Gusu, Jiang Xi became seriously ill. After Jiang Ji entered Beijing, she was very poor, but the fourth sister ignored her, and Jiang Ji finally had to enter the Xu family as a companion. Therefore, Jiang Xi hated the fourth sister to the core. ”

Zheng smiled when he heard this, and said: "This is also our luck, we met such a person, she has a low status, so she walks around outside without attracting attention, but it saves us from showing up." ”

Fu Ke said: "My mother is right. With her, I can worry about many things, and my mother can be even more worry-free. On the day of the flower banquet, the mother only needs to say that she is uncomfortable, and then she will leave the seat in advance and go back to the house, and when the carriage turns empty, the coachman will be replaced by our people, and when the carriage and horses in the house return to the house, I and the fourth sister's car fell behind, so we can detour to Xuanwu Street, just say that the car is pulled out, and the fourth sister can only go into the teahouse and wait. Jiang Xi was very careful, and deliberately found a teahouse quite far away from the carriage and horse shop, even if it was a long time to hire a carriage. ”

Zheng nodded with satisfaction and said, "Very good, in this way, I have picked it up." But just my son, how are you going to pick it off? ”

A trace of sadness quickly crossed between Fu Ke's low eyebrows, and then the sadness gradually dissipated, and he changed his expression to a flat face, and said, "My daughter can't pick it clean." Originally, I still wanted to ask Jiang Ji to come out, but she said that she had always been at odds with the fourth sister, and as soon as she appeared. The fourth sister will never be fooled. So I had already made an appointment with Miss Xi and Miss Yan of the Pei family on the opening day of the Ziwei Poetry Society two days ago, and invited them to come to the house to play after the flower banquet, and they also agreed. They will be around, and if I say a few words from the side, they will ask to go into the teahouse and wait. In this way, I can't pick it cleanly, and I won't have too much to do. And they watched the fourth sister and cousin A in the same room, so as to be a witness. ”

Zheng was really satisfied this time, and his eyebrows were full of joy. Holding Fu Ke, he said, "My son." It's really difficult to arrange it so thoughtfully for you, I have already arranged for Cheng Jia to meet with the cheap girl twice, and it is good when you pick it, how many people in the house see it. Now there is the teahouse incident. It will be done. Cheng Jia said. If you can hug the beauty. He was willing to give me sixty percent of the cheap girl's dowry. When the time comes, your marriage with Brother Zhang'er will be beautiful. ”

Fu Ke frowned and said, "Mother believes his words like this?" ”

Zheng smiled and said, "You can rest assured that he has a handle in my hand." He must listen to me, or I will make him lose his fame. ”

Speaking of this, Zheng laughed again and said, "When the time comes, Cheng Jia must go back to his hometown to take the exam, and the cheap girl can only go back." In a foreign land without the support of the Hou Mansion, what else can she do? Isn't the dowry at our disposal? Besides, her reputation is ruined, and when the time comes, the master will be afraid that he will be disgusted with her. What's more, the old lady is still pressing on her head, she doesn't like Sanfangyuan, with this reason, maybe she can sweep the cheap girl out of the house. Wouldn't that be better? ”

When Fu Ke heard this, he had no expression on his face, only looked at Zheng's smiling face, and sighed silently.

Frankly, she didn't think it was much of a success.

Although Fu Jun's kinship is thin, there always seems to be a force around her to support her. And Xu Zhaoyi and Fu Jun in the palace almost have a half-mother relationship, and the queen mother also loves them very much.

Fu Ke felt that let alone being seen in the same room as Fu Jun and Cheng Jia, even if Fu Jun was really privately engaged with the man for life, Fu Geng's ability could smooth it out.

It's just that Jiang Ji has always sworn that she promised that this matter would be successful, and brought the Xu family out, saying that as long as this matter goes up to the court, Fu Geng can't protect it if he has the heart to protect it. That Fu Geng already owed the loyal general Cheng Yu a life, as long as the matter was known to the whole city, Fu Jun was forced to marry Cheng Jia.

Fu Ke was moved by her words, so he agreed to join forces with her to make arrangements.

Thinking of this, Fu Ke couldn't help but sigh again.

She quietly raised her eyes and looked at Zheng's gentle face under the lamp, feeling happy and sad for a moment.

That's it, as long as her mother can always be so happy, what can't she, a daughter, do?

Fu Ke turned his eyes to look at the crystal peach branch lampshade on the table, where the candle flame was slightly swayed by the north wind blowing through the window. She listened attentively, but no one was heard outside the house, and the only gust of wind that was as tight as a gust of north wind kept sweeping over the open courtyard, leaving behind a terrible whimper.

**************************

The howling north wind carried the chill of deep winter, from the Pingnan Hou Mansion all the way to the west, to the courtyard of the Dingxi Bo Mansion, and also to the east of the woman sitting opposite each other.

In Lu You's ears, the whistling north wind had a strange and reassuring feeling.

She snuggled in the large circle chair covered with brocade red chairs, while throwing the agarwood crumbs in her hand little by little in the smoke cage, letting the deep and tactful aroma spread around, while talking to Lu Ying.

"Have you ever picked up all your clothes? Did you choose the ruby or jadeite for the head? Lu Ying asked softly.

Lu You lazily threw all the agarwood crumbs in the furnace, and Fang chuckled: "My aunt just likes to ask these children, and I have picked them all out, and they are all selected according to my aunt's choice." ”

Lu Ying stretched out her finger and nodded at the tip of her nose, and said dotingly: "I'm not worrying about you, you still hate me." ”

Lu You got tired of it and grinned: "I know, my aunt treats me best, so I came to stay with you for a few days." ”

Lu Ying smiled and said, "I don't know if you're looking at me, what kind of famine are you fighting with your mother?" This kid is hiding from me to find peace. ”

Lu You's eyes flashed slightly, and a handsome face flashed in his mind for a moment. No, that's not handsome, because there's a long scar on the left cheek of that face.

However, even with this ugly scar, he still looked so handsome, and his bearing was like a heavenly general. Since the first time she saw him, her heart had never been at peace.

It's a pity that their identities are too far apart. She is the daughter of the prince of the Hou Mansion, and although he was born in the Guogong Mansion, he is an outer room. No matter how great his military exploits are, the title has nothing to do with him. What's more, the scar on his face also blocked his path to the clouds.

Thinking like this, Lu You's heart felt an inexplicable ache. She looked at the smoked cage, her eyes wandering, her mind restless.

At this time, Lu Ying, who was on the side, sighed suddenly, but it pulled Lu You's mood back.

"What's wrong with you, aunt? Isn't it uncomfortable again? Lu You asked with concern.

Lu Ying frowned, and reluctantly smiled, "What can I feel uncomfortable with?" I'm fine. At this point, she sighed again and frowned: "I'm just worried about my sister, and now the situation is ...... Alas. (To be continued.) )
