Chapter Eighty-Nine: People's hearts are fickle
After the feast, all the guests said goodbye to their hosts.
Zhou Jingrong sent Mrs. Yang to the door, and Mrs. Yang took her hand and said comfortingly: "Rong Niang, don't believe the unobtrusive words outside, Congjia is not a merciless person, you have to be good." ”
Zhou Jingrong responded with a smile.
Mrs. Yang said angrily: "I don't know what those people think, and I think that everyone is the one who can't be carried clearly, and they are in a hurry to be concubines?" ”
Zhou Jingrong knew that the matter of taking a concubine touched Mrs. Yang's sadness, and just mentioned this stubble, she asked, "Master, Qi Ruyan didn't look for trouble later, right?" ”
Mrs. Yang sighed and said, "I've been sending people to keep an eye on her, and a while ago, she had already left Puhe County." ”
Speaking of this, Mrs. Yang was full of gratitude to Zhou Jingrong: "If you hadn't spent a lot of money, how could she leave so easily." ”
When Zhou Jingrong heard this, he couldn't help but be a little surprised.
It is not easy to leave the familiar environment and start a new life in another unfamiliar place. What's more, it really takes a lot of courage to be alone in this era that is not friendly to women.
Zhou Jingrong couldn't help but have a better view of Qi Ruyan, and even had some admiration.
Mrs. Yang said: "Although the matter of the outer room has passed, she is involved, and in the end, her reputation is hindered, and she will not have a better way out if she stays." Anyway, she is alone, and she comes and goes without worry, so it is better to go to a place where no one knows her to start a new life. A woman who is just the right age, with a lot of money by her side, or recruits a good son-in-law, or recruits a handsome lover, isn't the life how you want to live, beautiful and fast! ”
Listening to Mrs. Yang's "deviant" speech on how a rich woman should live a chic life, Zhou Jingrong was even more surprised.
I didn't expect Mrs. Yang, who was docile and obedient on the outside, to have such a wild heart!
This gave Zhou Jingrong a new understanding of women in this era, not everyone is as unassertive as the stereotype, dependent on men to live, with three obedience and four virtues as the criterion, and the husband as the wife as the dogma.
They receive a traditional and conservative education, and they are naturally bound by rules. But they also have a colorful heart, a yearning and pursuit of an ideal life, and a part of their own "deviant".
It is precisely because of this that human society will continue to push forward and develop.
Seeing off the guests, Gan Tang said to Zhou Jingrong: "You accompany Erlang back, I see that he is already too strong to drink." ”
Zhou Jingrong looked at Fu Yunshen, and saw that he was sitting at the table, his waist was straight, his hands were flat on his knees, and his unsmiling expression was extremely serious.
After the banquet, there was still some finishing work, but it was not heavy, so Zhou Jingrong didn't say anything polite to Gan Tang, thanked her, and walked over to Fu Yunshen.
When Fu Yunshen saw her coming, he stood up, took the initiative to put his hand in her hand, and let her lead it, looking like a very good baby.
Zhou Jingrong was annoyed by his childish behavior, and asked Yanfeng, "How much did he drink?" ”
Yan Feng smelled a smell before the storm, and replied ominously: "Well, the second master is in a good mood today, and he has indeed drunk a lot." ”
Zhou Jingrong looked at Fu Yunshen unhappily, and said angrily: "Didn't you drink less alcohol and drink more soup?" ”
Fu Yunshen didn't refute either, looking at her with blazing eyes, Xu was drunk and his brain was a little sluggish, and he replied after a while: "They say that I am afraid of my wife like a tiger." ”
Zhou Jingrong glanced at him: "So, in order to show that you are not a strict wife, you put my words behind you and fight with them for wine?" ”
Fu Yunshen hurriedly shook his head, pursed his mouth, and explained a little aggrieved: "Rong Rong is not a tiger. ”
Therefore, he fights with others not because he is afraid of being misunderstood as a strict wife, but because he is dissatisfied with those people who say that she is a tigress? However, with the amount of alcohol he had, he didn't think he drank much to get drunk like this.
Zhou Jingrong was helpless and warm-hearted, and held his hand tightly.
Zhou Jingrong took Fu Yunshen back to the Shi'an Academy, wiped his face, and placed him on the bed except for his outer robe.
Fu Yunshen was always obedient to Zhou Jingrong's fiddling, after he lay down, he put his arms on his sides in a regular manner, and waited for Zhou Jingrong to cover him with a quilt, only his head was exposed, looking at her with a pair of misty eyes like a little milk dog.
Zhou Jingrong looked at Fu Yunshen's well-behaved appearance, thinking of how noisy and noisy he was when he was drunk, his heart was so soft that he was about to drip water, and couldn't help but reach out and rub his face: "Fu Yunshen, why are you so well-behaved, it's so cute!" ”
Fu Yunshen's face didn't know whether he was rubbed by Zhou Jingrong or embarrassed, he flushed suspiciously, showed a silly smile, but said very sincerely: "Rongrong is cute." ”
Zhou Jingrong snorted and laughed, and pounced on him with a smile.
Fu Yunshen lifted the quilt and patted the position next to him: "Sleep together." ”
Zhou Jingrong covered him with the quilt again, and said in a childish tone: "You close your eyes obediently first, and I'll come to accompany you later, okay?" ”
Fu Yunshen was not obsessed, nodded obediently, and closed his eyes.
Zhou Jingrong planned to wash her hands, change her clothes, and then accompany Fu Yunshen.
As soon as she walked to the door, the door was opened from the outside, and she was greeted with a helpless smile: "Second grandma, Ying'er has to ask to see the second master, look at this ......"
Ying'er is the maid next to Fu Chunhua, Zhou Jingrong was slightly surprised, walked out, and Yayi carefully closed the door.
Ying'er was standing in the courtyard, walking around uneasily, as soon as she saw Zhou Jingrong, it was like seeing a savior, her tangled facial features stretched out, but she still looked like she was about to cry, and she was about to kneel down as soon as her legs bent.
Zhou Jingrong hurriedly helped her and asked, "What happened?" ”
Ying'er looked around, then looked at Zhou Jingrong, and stopped talking.
Zhou Jingrong understood and asked everyone else to go down, so she pulled Ying'er to the side and asked quietly, "But Sister Chun has something?" ”
Ying'er nodded in a panic, and said anxiously incoherently: "Second grandmother, eldest aunt...... Oh, no, it's the son of the Song family who is in our girl's room, so please don't leave. The girl was afraid that the movement would make a big fuss and gossip, so she asked the slave to quietly invite the second master to help send Song Gongzi away. ”
Zhou Jingrong was shocked, although Song Ziyan and Fu Chunhua were husband and wife, but at this time, the two have been reconciled, and the lonely man and widow are in the same room.
But at this time, Fu Yunshen had already fallen asleep, and even if he was awake, his drunken state would not help much.
Zhou Jingrong immediately decided: "Don't be afraid, I'll go with you." ”
The less people know about this, the better, so Zhou Jingrong didn't take anyone else, and only let the world follow.
Shifeng will work hard, even if Song Ziyan is carried and thrown out; And he has a calm personality and is taciturn, so there is no need to worry about him talking nonsense.
A few people hurriedly walked out, but collided with Fu Yu at the gate of the courtyard.
Fu Yu brought a few boxes over with his family, and said to Zhou Jingrong: "Second grandmother, second master is here?" I sent him a congratulatory gift and a gift list. ”
Zhou Jingrong avoided his gaze with a weak heart: "Uh, he, he has already rested." ”
Fu Yu didn't notice anything, presented the gift list to Zhou Jingrong, and said with a smile: "It's the same for the second grandmother." ”
Zhou Jingrong took the gift list, and Fu Yu commanded the family to carry the box into the courtyard.
Zhou Jingrong looked at Fu Yu, who was busy with work, and her eyes suddenly lit up.
Fu Yu has lived in the Fu family since he was a teenager, and it can be said that he grew up with Fu Chunhua and Fu Yunshen. Although his identity is a housekeeper, their relationship is close, and it is not an exaggeration to say that they are brothers and sisters.
In fact, when negotiating with Song Ziyan, Zhou Jingrong and Fu Chunhua are not suitable, so they still have to find a man with an identity and reliability to do this, and Fu Yu is just right.
In this way, even if this matter is publicized, they will not be gossiped about.
Zhou Jingrong's mind turned around, and he opened his mouth to stop Fu Yu: "Brother Yu! ”
Fu Yu turned around and asked, "What does the second grandmother command?" ”
Zhou Jingrong stepped forward and said in a low voice: "Brother Yu, something happened to Sister Chun, please come with me." ”
Fu Yu's face was solemn, and he followed behind Zhou Jingrong without thinking too much. On the way, listening to Ying'er tell the ins and outs, his face became even more gloomy and ugly.
Several people soon came to Fu Chunhua's courtyard, the courtyard was deserted, there was no one, and they were all supported by Fu Chunhua.
When I approached the main house, I heard a man's low begging voice from inside the house: "Chun Niang, you give me another chance, I promise to treat you and Sister Zhu well, and there will never be another thing like before......
Fu Yu strode forward and pushed the door open. He stood at the door, the reverse light hid his face in a gloom, but cast his tall figure into the room, shrouding Song Ziyan, bringing him a sense of oppression.
Song Ziyan was very glad that he was sitting at this time, otherwise his already drunk and somewhat soft body might have been startled by the menacing momentum.
Zhou Jingrong then walked in and saw Song Ziyan sitting at the Eight Immortals table, and Fu Chunhua was standing by the rounded cabinet across the table, looking at him with a nervous and defensive face.
Zhou Jingrong bypassed Song Ziyan, came to Fu Chunhua's side, held her hand, and made her feel at ease.
With Fu Yu here, there is no need for Zhou Jingrong to speak.
Fu Yu looked at Song Ziyan coldly, and said politely and indifferently: "Song Gongzi, the backyard of the Fu family is a place where female dependents live, and it is inconvenient for foreign men to enter and exit, so I'll send you out." ”
With so many people present, Song Ziyan couldn't say anything more.
He stood up, his body swayed a little, but he still bowed politely: "Then it will be troublesome to the housekeeper." ”
Song Ziyan stood up straight, and looked at Fu Chunhua again: "Chunniang, what I just said, you can think about it again." ”
Fu Yu's face was even darker, and he immediately stepped forward and grabbed one of Song Ziyan's arms, and Shifeng also supported him from the other side.
The two said that they were supporting, but they were actually dragged out.
As soon as they left, Fu Chunhua lost his strength and sat down on the ground, his whole body trembled, he covered his chest with his hands, and kept patting, as if he wanted to slap out the depressed breath in his heart.
"How could he do that? If it is known that a man has snuck into my house, will I still live? Mother's name is lost, what should Sister Zhu do? Did he think about our mother and daughter? ”
Fu Chunhua closed his eyes, hid the bitterness in his eyes, and muttered, "He wasn't like this before. ”
Zhou Jingrong didn't know what to comfort, she helped Fu Chunhua up and sighed: "People will always change." ”
