However, after more than two years and three years, Fu's mother had some suspicions that she had entered the wrong house.

It turned out that the unique doorbell of Nanhu Academy was gone, and in their place were two handsome teenagers; When he heard that the master had returned, and knew that the carriage had been purchased by himself, the young man immediately lowered the threshold and welcomed the carriage into the house. Some people were shouting to report to the girl, and some people unloaded their luggage and sent the carriage into the stable; The three of them followed the servant woman to the inner walk, and gradually heard the sound of reading aloud.

"Dad, mother! Dad, are you okay? Grandmother! You've lost weight all the way! ”

Seeing his relatives, Fu Zhenyu finally went to the old appearance, and even his voice was full of joy, asking one by one, until he saw Fu Zhenshang, the little bean Ding in the past, had reached his shoulder at this time, Fu Zhenyu was not calm for a moment.

"Oh, Fu Zhenshang, why are you so tall!"

Because of surprise, Fu Zhenyu called his younger brother by name.

Mrs. Lin walked slowly by her granddaughter's hand, and said with a smile: "The girl's family smokes early, and it will be almost the same when she grows to the age of fifteen or sixteen." You look eighteen, so naturally you don't grow much taller. Small businesses continue to grow slowly, and it will always take another ten or eight years. Yun Niang, what do you say? ”

Mother Fu was named by her mother, and after saying "um" in confusion, she asked the old lady: "Mother, this, is this really my family?" ”

"Foolish thing, didn't I tell you, your daughter has done a great job of keeping the academy in order."

"How dare I believe it." Fu Mu muttered.

Fu Mu didn't know a word at this time, and the quantitative change to a certain extent would inevitably cause a qualitative change.

After the house was slowly expanded, the house was rebuilt or expanded one by one, and in the summer of two years ago, there were only ten courtyards in the school, accounting for one-tenth of the total area. Now, in two and a half years, it has been expanded to half of the building. Because of this, there is no idle place in the sight, and it is full of mansions and schools, and endless eaves and corners of the walls, so that Fu Shanchang's family of three is speechless.

Fu Zhenyu said: "By the way, I don't know if you will come back now, Brother Bufeng is still in the school, and he will come over when he gets out of class." My aunt has also sent someone to invite her. ”

While talking, I arrived at the guest yard area. A few months ago, the Lin family still lived in Chunfeng Garden for a few months, and there was no need for Fu Zhenyu to Zhang Luo at this time, the old lady said: "You just take care of your father and mother, don't worry about me." ”

Fu Zhenyu looked at his speechless parents and nodded.

When there was only a family of four left, Fu Zhenyu didn't touch any of them, and without the closeness of Mrs. Lin, he only looked at Fu Shanchang left and right, and at the same time was verbose: "Why didn't Dad let someone tell me in advance?" Fortunately, the house was cleaned up a few days ago, and the kitchen has been boiling hot water, and when my father and mother washed, I took my younger brother back to his nest. ”

After entering the main courtyard and seeing the familiar furnishings and scenery, Fu Shanchang and his wife finally felt like home, and they all breathed a sigh of relief. The couple saw in each other's eyes the joy of being shocked and having the rest of their lives. After Fu Zhenyu led Fu Zhenshang to the back, Fu Shanchang coughed before he said, "How do I think that my own family is more magnificent than the Ran family?" ”

The Ran family is a big family in the south of the Yangtze River, and the house is exquisite and small; Nanhu Academy is relatively northern, and it is also a academy, which itself is an atmospheric existence, and Fu Zhenyu built a tall house with natural style.

Fu's mother couldn't hear what her husband said at all, looked at a mother-in-law and two maidservants coming in and out, and said to herself: "I knew that I could be a wife at home, why are I still staying in Suzhou!" ”

Fu Shanchang was absent-minded, and he didn't hear her muttering clearly, so he asked, "What did you say?" ”

Fu's mother said perfunctorily: "I don't know what I'm talking about, my head is a little confused." ”

Fu Shanchang felt the same way.

Fu Zhenyu took his younger brother and walked back, and said: "In the past, the aunt of the Li family lived here with her daughter for a while, and someone has cleaned it up a few days ago. I don't know what you like now, so I simply laid it out. What do you want to add, say it with your sister, and your sister will add it with you. ”

He was only six or seven years old when he left, and Fu Zhenshang remembered that he had a yard, but he didn't remember what it looked like.

In the past two years, when I was attached to the Ran family, because the Ran family had few people and limited living conditions, a group of wild boys were looking forward to having a nest for themselves. Talking about how to clean up, Fu Zhenshang belongs to the Ran family, and there are a few rooms in total, and he can't do it if he wants toss. At this time, when I saw my yard, I was overjoyed, and chased Fu Zhenyu and asked, "Sister, clean up a study room for me!" ”

Fu Zhenyu pursed his lips and smiled, and then said, "Change one." ”

After Fu Zhenshang stepped his face, Fu Zhenyu led him into the courtyard, but he didn't enter the main room, he went directly to the east chamber, pushed open the door, and said, "Take a look." ”

The house in the east wing is shorter and smaller than the main house. The three rooms were not separated, and at a glance, the middle hall facing the door only hung the paintings of the four gentlemen in the hall, painting a few high, a few empty above, and there was nothing left; The books in the east and west half rooms are placed along the wall, and the open space in the middle of the east and west sides is placed with four chairs; The case is placed in a square wooden box, and there is a pot lotus on the box, and the lotus is a happy fish.

Chic and spacious.

At this time, I only heard Fu Zhenyu say: "According to the model of the library pavilion, I will get you a study." ”

There are three study rooms alone!

Fu Zhenshang was so satisfied, he forgot to be unfamiliar, tugged at Fu Zhenyu's sleeve, and praised vigorously: "Sister, you are really my own sister, my wife likes this study!" ”

Fu Zhenyu was happy in his heart, his face was not obvious, and he said lightly: "It's good to like it." Let's go and see your house. ”

The study is so good, what else are you worried about?

There are still.

Fu Zhenshang looked at Fu Zhenyu with a sad expression: "Isn't this the same as before?" ”

Fu Zhenyu said in a heartfelt voice: "It's just a place to sleep, what do you want those useless things to do?" If you don't like it, write and draw it yourself. ”

Tao Li came to report: "The hot water here has been prepared, and the ear room is also hot." ”

Fu Zhenyu ordered before going to pick up people, back and forth, it was indeed almost the same, Fu Zhenyu said to his younger brother: "Find out the clean clothes and wash them yourself." After washing and going to my father's to wait for dinner, I will now go to the kitchen to look at the dishes. ”

An hour later, together with the Lin family, gathered at Fu Shan's strengths.

The meal was placed in the front hall, and two tables were divided into men and women.

After the meal, the two families talked about homely things, and Fu Shanchang said it first, because Fu Zhenyu asked him about his body first. Fu Shan said: "It's no longer in the way, there is no need to worry." I told Imperial Doctor Qiu that you can go to the Dragon Boat Festival once a year. Mo Yun has entered Beijing to catch the exam, and your uncle of the Ran family said that no matter whether he is in the middle of the year or not, the door of the Ran family is not open to you, and I hope you will go over to play. ”

Fu Zhenyu smiled and said, "Are you going to ask your father to come over to live?" The third young master can be lifted because he has a good foundation, and it really has little to do with us. If the second senior brother and the sixth senior brother are in high school, it is the credit of their father. ”

Fu Shanchang nodded again and again.

No, those are the ones who taught them themselves.

There was also Mrs. Lin and Uncle Lin who told Aunt Fu Zhenyu about Aunt Fu, and the old lady wiped her tears and said: "When they are living a sweet life outside, how do you know how hard it is!" It's long overdue to see them! ”

The eldest aunt and grandmother of the Lin family are the first child of the old lady, and the younger brothers and sisters can do it when they are young, and they have never enjoyed happiness. After getting married, first there was a sister-in-law who was difficult to serve, and then the sister-in-law got married and survived her mother-in-law. As a result, the man listened to the instigation of others, sold his family's farmland, and went south with his wife and children to make a living in the rich and noble land.

Outsiders are elsewhere, except for the only fellow villager, there is no one to help, and the husband and wife can only pick up bits and pieces of work from the cracks of Taihu Lake to barely survive. In the past two years, because of the eldest son's rivalry, he opened a shop, and life has been better.

"What is a foot shop?"

Fu Zhenyu really didn't know.

After Uncle Lin explained, Fu Zhenyu suddenly realized.

There is a view in five steps in the south of the Yangtze River, a pavilion in ten steps, the scenery is very much, and all kinds of tourism are popular, regardless of poverty and wealth. The rich and noble families directly took their subordinates to take care of their luggage, while the poor did not travel far. There is only a small rich family, there is no pomp and circumstance of a large family, and it is slightly better than the poor, and when you go out to play, the luggage you bring is inconvenient. As a result, there was such a business as a foot shop.

The foot shop is almost a luggage storage place, and the owner lives by charging a small storage fee. Guests can also rest for a day or two if they don't dislike the humble accommodation, and the cost of accommodation is much cheaper than an inn - probably the difference between a small hotel and a hotel.

This line of business is feasible in Jiangnan, but it is not common in Runing Mansion.

After listening to Mrs. Lin's sigh, Fu Zhenyu mentioned the matter of the jacquard machine a little, and said: "As long as the prefect is re-elected, in the next few years, Runing will definitely be more lively." The elder brother of the aunt's family is capable, and he lives the same when he comes home. ”

Mrs. Lin was immediately moved.

Uncle Lin saw his sister in her forties, who seemed to be of the same generation as her mother, and her heart was sour. Thinking of the eldest sister's kindness to herself, she praised loudly when she heard the words: "This is good!" If the eldest sister comes back, we will contribute some capital and open a shop with the eldest sister. ”

Mrs. Lin clearly disagreed.

Fu Zhenyu understood her and said with a smile: "Uncle can borrow or give it away, it's better to open a shop together." You know, even if you are relatives, you will also be annoyed when you do business together. ”

The old lady and her son were in the same mind, and after listening to Fu Zhenyu's words, she asked Fu Zhenyu: "Granddaughter, is it really not good?" ”

"In my experience, no." Seeing Mrs. Lin's brows stretched, Fu Zhenyu changed the topic and said, "This is always next year's business, and we will discuss it at that time." Now, first, I have to prepare for the New Year, and second, if my uncle has spare money, it is better to buy a shop or something. ”

Mrs. Lin said: "Where does the spare money come from?" ”

Uncle Lin and his aunt's faces were not very good, and Fu Zhenyu smiled: "So, it's important for uncle to save some money quickly." If the aunt comes back, it will be uncomfortable if the family can't help her. ”

The winter days are short, and seeing that the sky is getting late, the two families agreed to go to Lin's house for dinner another day, and they dispersed.

"Is there a letter from your senior brother?"

"Not yet."

Seeing Fu Shanchang's hesitation, Fu Zhenyu said: "The prefect told his daughter that the senior brother was sheltered by the elder of the Wang Pavilion and the Marquis of Zhenyuan in the capital, which is quite safe. By the way, Daddy, the elder brother's sister lost her memory, was rescued by the fishermen, and married the eldest son of that family. The farmer, who only changed in the first few years, moved to Yangjiazhuang this year in order to be closer to the senior brother. ”

Fu Shanchang and his wife, who knew that Cangzi was fine, looked at each other.

The granddaughter of the elder of the pavilion, the daughter of the champion Lang, married to the village husband? In contrast, they married their daughter to Cang Zijian, which can be called kind.

Fu's mother really liked Cang Zijian, so she wanted to meet Li Yun, because she said: "What's his family name?" Where to stay? Tomorrow is fine, I'll go check it out. You don't need to prepare a single gift, just pick some of the things you brought. ”

Satisfied with her thoughtfulness, Fu Zhenyu smiled and said, "My mother has been away for two years, and she has changed a lot. ”

Fu's mother went home with a little pride, and when she came back, she saw the changes in her home, and realized that her small change was just sesame seeds, and she really deserved praise and pride. After listening to her daughter's words, Fu's mother was both disappointed and sarcastic, and her tone was not very good, because she said: "It's far less than you." ”

Fu Zhenyu didn't understand the reason for her change of face, Fu Shanchang had already said: "People are different from each other, what is there to compare!" You are only better than you used to be, and your daughter is better than she used to be. If this is all jealousy, Zijian's learning is so good, wouldn't I vomit to death? Not to mention Zijian, even the two of Wenju Han Mo are also much stronger than me, can I be jealous? ”

Fu's mother was so choked by her husband that she couldn't speak.

Fu Zhenshang blinked.

My sister and mother talked well, my mother was angry, and my father protected my sister...... This situation is inexplicably familiar.

Fu Zhenyu also understood, and it was funny, because Fu Shanchang asked about the long room, Fu Zhenyu said it trivially, and said about the jacquard machine: "After the jacquard machine is made, I will give the uncle one first." As long as the sisters-in-law and the eldest aunt are willing to endure hardships, they have 100 taels of silver a year. ”

After finishing speaking, Fu's mother exploded: "Your second aunt treats you well, with this good thing, why don't you give her a jacquard machine?" ”

What an unbragging mother.

Fu Zhenyu frowned.

Over the years, she has been treating the Fu family all to see Fu Shan's face; On the other hand, when she treats her grandfather's family, she relies on her mother's appearance...... Stop it. It can be said that she treats the Lin family well because the Lin family itself has no half-dime relationship with her parents.

Seeing Fu Shanchang looking over, Fu Zhenyu first stretched his brows and said the actual situation: "If you can make two, you will naturally give it to the second aunt." It's just that time is tight, and I'm afraid that only one will be released before the year. The uncle is his father's brother, and his relatives are different, so he naturally gave it to him first. ”

When Fu Zhenyu said this, he was completely from Fu Shanchang's point of view. Sure enough, before she finished speaking, Fu Shanchang immediately smiled. Fu's mother didn't have this thought, and she didn't look at her husband's face, so she was directly furious: "How can you say that!" They are relatives, but they bully us; Your second aunt is not far away, it's okay for us! ”

Fu Zhenyu thought about the reunion, and said as calmly as possible: "The uncle's family wants to take advantage and bully us, but we are not the clay people, and we didn't let them bully at all!" On the other hand, the second aunt has the heart to treat herself well, but the second aunt is there, and our family is good, and they are very limited in their good for my family. Still, I'm more of an outsider. I can pat my chest and promise that over the years, I have really tried my best to take care of my grandfather's family, what is my mother not satisfied with? ”

Before she finished speaking, Fu Mu said, "You don't have to say these big words!" And look at what you mean, you will be married in the future, and you will be a white-eyed wolf who ignores your mother's family! Your father allowed your dowry, but he didn't give it! ”

I'll go.

Sit back and enjoy it, and stir up trouble!

Seeing Fu Zhenyu change color, Fu Zhenshang said loudly: "Why did my mother say that, sister!" ”

Fu Shan's long face is as heavy as ink.
