151 Not to be outdone
In the Sibeile Mansion, there was no idleness, and in the main courtyard of Fujin, it was already busy, and the minions were busy preparing things for the Yuan Festival on the fifteenth day of the first lunar month a while ago - window flowers, hanging notes, hanging flags, etc., which had already been decorated a few days in advance.
The fourth elder brother has been running in the palace for a while, and it is often late at night when he comes back.
So he stayed in the study in the front.
Fu Jin was a little melancholy in his heart - after all, it was the New Year, not to mention being as lively as an ordinary couple, sitting around the fireplace, at least he should come to the backyard a few times.
However, the fourth elder brother was really busy, and even Ning Yingna didn't have time to go.
Fu Jin looked at it like this, and his heart could barely be balanced.
Who knew that the night before the Shangyuan Festival, everyone had dinner together, and in the end, the fourth elder brother stayed at Ning Ying's place.
The little eunuch who delivered the news originally wanted to tell Fu Jin, but was stopped by Hua Ko - what if he told him? Could it be that Fu Jin can go and snatch people back?
Since it is useless to say it, it is better to keep your mouth shut and save the master from being unhappy.
But the more it was covered up, the more obvious it became, and Fu Jin still knew it at night.
As she sat down at the dining table, she was a little out of her mind.
It's okay - Fu Jin secretly comforted himself: tomorrow is the fifteenth day of the first lunar month.
On the night of the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, it is like this once a year.
The dignified Huang Elder Brother is always bad and has no rules, let go of Chang Fujin and go to accompany a Gege.
She firmly believes that her hard work during this period of time will not be invisible to the fourth elder brother.
……
On the night of the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, he spent a day in the palace during the day, and in the evening, the fourth elder brother came back from the Forbidden City.
Fu Jin was still sitting in the main room reading the account book, listening to the little eunuch outside rushing in all the way, and reported with joy on his face, saying that the fourth master was coming.
Fu Jin's heart was about to jump with joy!
But she was still not in a hurry, and slowly put down the ledger, and then she held on to the corner of the table and stood up calmly.
The fourth elder brother stepped over the threshold with both feet, only to see that Fu Jin had just stood firm and came forward to meet him.
In the past year, she has dressed luxuriously and calmly, and she has always had a gentle and calm smile on her face, and she doesn't see too many surprises.
The fourth elder brother was not so disappointed - Fu Jin has always been like this, as if he came or not, for her, it would not cause much emotional turmoil.
For example, Fang Cai, he walked in all the way from the outside, and the minions knelt on the ground, and he saw it clearly-Fu Jin closed the account book slowly.
Calm and relax.
Maybe she wasn't particularly looking forward to him coming, right?
Thinking like this, the fourth elder brother felt a little bored.
He was in the palace today, and he received a few words of praise from the emperor, and it was a very good time.
In fact, when he got off the carriage at the door just now, his first reaction was that he really didn't want to come here.
But Fujin is very virtuous these days - not to mention the side, let's take the current New Year: many big and small events, all arranged in an orderly manner.
That's why the fourth elder brother thought of coming over to have a meal with her.
But at this time, he faintly regretted it.
Fu Jin first instructed the servants to fetch hot water, ready to wash the face of the fourth elder brother, relax and relax, and then let the dinner that had already been prepared be sent to the main house outside.
The fourth elder brother was really a little tired, and as soon as he lay down in the house, he didn't want to get up.
The lights in the room were dim, and he closed his eyes for a while, and then fell asleep.
Fu Jin waited outside for a while, but no one came out, and when he went in, he found that the fourth elder brother had fallen asleep on the couch crookedly.
It's tiring.
Fu Jin didn't say anything, first took off the armor on his hand, and then bent down and waited for the fourth elder brother to take off his boots.
The fourth elder brother didn't sleep deeply, but when Fu Jin made such a move, he woke up.
Fu Jin saw that he was awake, and said with a smile: "Master, let's eat?" ”
The fourth elder brother nodded, but the person didn't move, Fu Jin saw that he didn't move, and beckoned the concubine Zhou next to him to come over.
Concubine Zhou knelt in front of the fourth elder brother's couch and pinched the fourth elder brother's feet.
She has practiced many times, and the strength of her hands is just right, not light or heavy, the fourth elder brother has been walking around in the palace for a day, and her feet are a little swollen, but in fact, it is quite comfortable to pinch her feet.
But he didn't want to see this Zhou, so he waved his hand and let people out.
Fu Jin stood next to her and saw that Concubine Zhou was blasted out by the fourth master, so she came over with a pair of thick cotton shoes to serve: "Master, change to this, the soles of your feet are comfortable." ”
The fourth elder brother snorted, and Fu Jin saw that he had no intention of refusing, so he quickly bent down and waited for him to put on his shoes.
She is also a blessing anyway, and the fourth elder brother looked at it and said, "Get up." ”
Fu Jin raised his head, and the smile on his face looked simply kind under the candlelight: "Master, the weather is colder now, not as good as before, as the saying goes-the cold starts from the feet, you must wear more!" ”
The fourth elder brother originally wanted to say a few words, but when she trained her son like this, he suddenly felt bored.
For a "mother", he didn't want to stay a little longer.
The taste of the dinner is also mediocre - it's not that it's not delicious, but I don't know why, it's deliberately heavy.
For example, if there is a fried meat slice, the meat slice is estimated to have been rolled in chili powder, but after it is fried, it is wrapped in a layer of chili pepper, from the inside to the outside, the fourth elder brother didn't feel it at first, so he inadvertently ate a few more chopsticks with rice.
Then when the spicy taste came up, he felt that from his throat to his stomach, the whole thing seemed to have opened a line of fire, and the fire was burning, but he had already gone down to his stomach and couldn't control it.
The tears of the fourth elder brother are about to come out!
Fu Jin sat across from him, and at first he seemed to like spicy food, a plate of red spicy chicken, and let Hua Ko put four or five chopsticks.
But when she tasted it, she choked and coughed.
The servants handed over the handkerchief, the fourth elder brother wiped his sweat, looked at a dish of lettuce soup, and asked the eunuch to serve a big bowl.
The green lettuce floats in the mellow soup, and there is not even a drop of sesame oil, which is light and refreshing when you look at it.
On this table, what is missing now is "light"!
As a result, the fourth elder brother only took a sip - the soup was too hot to swallow at all.
There was also a plate of fluffy corn cake at hand, which was golden, and the fourth elder brother grabbed a piece and put it in his mouth, and finally suppressed the spicy taste.
Fu Jin blinked, turned his face away, and wiped away the spicy tears with a handkerchief.
After all, she is Fujin, and she doesn't need to ask about the news in the backyard, so naturally someone will please and send it to the door.
She knew that Ninggege cooked there, and the taste was quite strong.
And I heard that recently...... Even the small kitchen in Li Fangfujin's place intentionally or unintentionally asked a Sichuan chef from the big dining room to come over.
There is also Song Gege, last time he only excused himself by saying that Da Gege wanted to eat mutton skewers, but he urged the servants to go to the dining room to pick up mutton skewers, and sprinkled with a thick layer of chili noodles.
Fu Jin actually didn't want to learn from Ning's, but when she was forced by Li Fang Fu Jin like this, she felt that she couldn't be too far behind.
