On the nineteenth day of the lunar month, it was almost ten days since Fu Zhenyu lived in the guest room of the Yuanhou Mansion in Zhenyuan.

Fu Zhenyu and his entourage, when they entered the city from Chaoyang Gate on the ninth day of the lunar month, Zhenyuan Hou just left from Desheng Gate.

Mongolia invaded the border of Xuanfu, and the former Xuanfu commander-in-chief Yongkang Hou Xu Xuan passed the age of sixties, and it is said that a wind and cold killed him. In addition, due to the floods in Henan, Shandong, and Fujian this year, there is a shortage of grain and grass, and the household department can only allocate 50,000 troops of grain and grass. Gu Shizhong, the Marquis of Zhenyuan, was ordered to use the least amount of money to beat the Mongolian people away before the year.

After confirming the news, Meng Zhe threw the two into the Hou Mansion, glanced at his wife, turned around and entered the palace, and rushed to the Xuan Mansion with a thousand musketeers from the Shenji Battalion that day to support the Marquis of Zhenyuan.

Fu Zhenyu entered the mansion as a woman.

Because she hadn't seen the Marquis of Zhenyuan yet, and they were to be determined together, Meng Zhe only said that she was the daughter of the head of Nanhu Academy. After Meng Zhe left, Gu Yongyan, who had been away from home for nearly a year, was escorted by Gu Shizi to practice, and she was exhausted every day, but she still dragged her tired body and went to the guest room to see Fu Zhenyu and ask her how she was doing. The day before yesterday, Fu Zhenyu saw that he was working hard, so he said: "Give me a pile of paper, a few pens, and I'll be busy with you first." ”

Thinking of the unbelievable and particularly reasonable terms and regulations of Nanhu Academy, Gu Yongyan guessed what she was going to do. Let his little servant send things over, and ask the maid to serve carefully, people, don't bother Fu Zhenyu.

Gu Yongyan is not at home all the year round, and he is not so familiar with the backyard at home, he doesn't know that the two maids assigned to Fu Zhenyu are the last little maids, both of whom are younger than Fu Zhenyu. The only older mother-in-law is also useless. Fu Zhenyu stayed with the three of them for ten days, and his knowledge of the Hou Mansion was limited to the "women" he saw with Mrs. Hou on the first day.

The Marquis of Zhenyuan has a wife, N concubines, and M through the house.

The specific value of N, including the concubine and the maid in the room, was present on the ninth day of the first month, at least two hands. Yes, except for the four sisters of Gu Yongyan and the four girls of the Gu family, the remaining concubines do not know how much.

Before Gu Shizi, the Marquis of Zhenyuan had no concubines, which was his greatest respect for his wife; After Gu Shizi, the Gu family's concubines and concubines sprung up like mushrooms after a rain. Gu Yongyan has several sisters and three brothers, he is the fifth, and his own family is the fifth.

Yes, Meng Zhe called him the fifth brother.

Such a person is embarrassed to say that he is rich. Oh, no, it's really rich, according to the words of the two little girls Qingxing who don't know where they heard, it is said that there are hundreds of thousands of taels. Whether it's true or not, it's useless to say that no amount of money is there. So many children, in addition to food, clothing, housing and transportation, when the rest of the relatives are married, they are divided into three or five thousand taels in the sky, and they are not as rich as her, okay?

Besides, with so much silver, the lunch that she was given every day was the best, and it was just one meat and one vegetable. The portion is quite sufficient, but it is salty and oily, and it is extremely untasty.

When Fu Zhenyu ate the first meal, he asked the two maids: "Everyone else is also this dish?" ”

The larger lime replied: "The slaves and maids don't know, the slaves and maids eat their meals with steamed buns at will, but the dishes are only green vegetables and pickles." However, the pickles were drizzled with oil, but they were fragrant and very delicious. ”

Fu Zhenyu has tasted the pickles, and he is definitely worthy of the name, salty enough.

Fu Zhenyu, who had been eating clear soup steamed buns for several days, touched his rumbling belly, put down his pen, stretched his waist, and lay on the south kang, looking outside. The snow outside the window is very white, the snow scene is very beautiful, but it is also cold, Fu Zhenyu, who is afraid of the cold, will never go out if he can.

Not long after, the courtyard door opened, and the green apricots who went to get lunch came back from the snow, and came back much earlier than usual, but they were empty-handed.

When Qingxing entered the house, Fu Zhenyu didn't ask her what was going on with the meal, and first said to another little girl: "Lime, pour her a cup of hot tea to warm up." ”

Fu Zhenyu's tea here was sent by Gu Yongyan, and it is said to be ten taels of silver and one tael. But to Fu Zhenyu, there is no difference between one tael of silver and one tael of tea and ten taels of silver and one tael. But the two maids thought it was good, so she let them soak themselves in it. The two maids entered the house for a short time, and the rules were okay, but they were not very well-informed, Fu Zhenyu didn't speak, and neither of them dared to drink.

No, Fu Zhenyu spoke, and the lime poured most of the light for the apricot.

Qingxing thanked her and drank it all, and said to Fu Zhenyu: "The old lady's sister, Mrs. Zhang, brought the six girls of the Zhang family to live in, and the lady asked the girl to recognize the person too. ”

Fu Zhenyu refused to move, she went to the room, crooked, even she claimed to know the way, and she didn't know how many doors she had to go through and how many turns to get there.

The most important thing is that it makes no sense to admit it.

Yes, Fu Zhenyu said directly: "When you go back to Mrs., you will say that I am not feeling well, so I will not go." Not only today, but others are coming, and you can find a reason for me to refuse, so as to save you from running twice in the cold. ”

Yes?

Lime and apricot, you look at me, I look at you, I dare not agree.

Fu Zhenyu sighed: "Don't look at it, it's too cold outside, I don't want to go out." The main thing is that I am different from them, and I don't need to know the people in this house. ”

Hearing this, Qingxing directly begged Fu Zhenyu with a crying voice: "Girl, you pretend to be sick and let Mrs. know, the two slaves and maids will be sold." Girl, if you wear more, it won't be cold, and the slave will dress you on. ”

Lime was much more flexible than her, and she said, "Madame called the girl over for dinner, and when she saw someone, she would definitely leave her to eat." Girl, Madame's dishes are much better than ours. ”

Thinking of the meal he ate on the first day, it is undeniable that Fu Zhenyu's heart was moved.

"Get dressed!"

Fu Zhenyu's clothes for entering Beijing were dictated by Cang Zijian and prepared by Li Ting as required, which were enough to keep out the cold.

Just wear it, but it's just a cup of tea, Fu Zhenyu didn't use the maid's help, and changed his clothes three times or five. On his feet, he wore thick-soled cotton shoes and clogs, and on his body was a cotton jacket covered with a magenta gown, with a concubine-colored gown, and the outermost piece was a real red feather satin cloak, which was light and warm.

In front of the Yishoutang courtyard, Mrs. Gu's mother rubbed her hands together to keep warm, obviously waiting for someone. Fu Zhenyu remembers people, but doesn't remember her surname.

When the mother saw Fu Zhenyu's dress, her eyes lit up, and she stepped forward to greet her with a smile: "Miss Gu has arrived, Mrs. has urged her twice." ”

Nothing to be courteous, either a traitor or a thief.

Fu Zhenyu had an intuition.

Carrying the cold, Fu Zhenyu pulled the mother who didn't know what her name was, walked away a few steps, and said cautiously: "Mom, what's going on inside?" ”

"Miss Fu is too careful, just seeing a guest, what can she do?"

Fu Zhenyu believed that she had a ghost, because he said: "I have been in the house for ten days, and I know what treatment I have." Just now, I also said to the two of Lime, the people and things in this Fu have nothing to do with me. You can charge for room and board, and when you entered Beijing, Meng Qianhu received 1,000 taels of silver from my senior brother! ”

Fu Zhenyu didn't complain before, because it was useless to complain. Now, it is obvious that Mrs. Hou wants to do something with her, and she is not fighting for her own welfare, is she waiting to starve to death? What's more, the senior brother really gave Meng Zhe a thousand taels of silver!
