Chapter 301: Business Trip
Shi Shiran left the third room, and Fu Yuanyuan returned to Haitian Courtyard with ease.
When he arrived at the Guogong Mansion in the morning, he asked Jade to go to Haitian Courtyard and told Shen that lunch would be used in Haitian Courtyard, because as soon as he stepped into the courtyard gate of Haitian Courtyard, he smelled a familiar fragrance full of nose.
"Full, come here."
Walking into the dining room, Shen, who was accompanying Xiao Yuanfeng to watch him eat, saw his daughter and waved with a busy smile, "Mother asked Aunt Qiu to make your favorite dishes, and you can eat in a while." ”
Fu Yuanyuan walked up to Shen with a smile and sat down, his younger brother Fu Yuanfeng is now more than eight months old, and his pink face is red and cute.
He sat in a bamboo high chair with a small rectangular table in front of it, on which small round wooden plates were placed.
"Mother, what is this?"
Fu Yuanyuan pointed to a few finger-thick and short foods on the small plate and asked curiously.
Fu Yuan Feng was clumsily grabbing a piece of food and trying to stuff it into his mouth.
Shen smiled: "This is the fish cake that your Aunt Qiu made especially for Brother Feng, Brother Feng has a tendency to grow teeth recently, so it's just right for him to eat it with his teeth." ”
As if in response to Shen's words, Brother Feng screamed twice, and a faint whiteness on his gums could be seen in his open mouth.
Shen hurriedly pointed to Fu Yuanyuan: "Look, the root of the tooth is popping up." ”
Fu Yuanyuan held his chin, squinted his eyes and smiled: "What a cute little tooth." Mother, is it uncomfortable to have teething? ”
Shen's jaw head: "Recently, I have started to grow teeth, Brother Feng always likes to take things in his mouth and bite them, and he was still a little hot the night before yesterday, but this tooth came out yesterday, so it was much better." ”
"Babble! Babble! ”
The mother and daughter were talking, and Brother Feng couldn't help but interject in words that only he could understand, which made the mother and daughter laugh.
"Mother, last time I asked you to help pay attention to things, is there any news?"
Lunch was served in the kitchen, and the mother and daughter moved to the dining table to eat and chat.
Shen naturally remembered what his daughter had told him: "Man Man is talking about Miss Tian's family affairs, right?" My mother is inquiring, but she hasn't found anyone who thinks it's suitable. ”
Eighteen-year-old girl's family, it is really not easy to find a young man who has not yet married.
At this age, she must be at least a year or two older than her, and there are not many good sons in their twenties who are not married.
If you want to find a married person to do the steproom, the choice is wide, and there are many high-ranking officials and nobles, so I am worried that Miss Tian is unwilling.
Fu Yuanyuan listened to Shen's analysis one by one, and frowned: "Mother, isn't this just going to try to release the list, why don't you choose from it whether there are people with clean net worth and pure character?" ”
Shen thought for a while: "If you want to find a qualified person from the students who will take the examination, I am afraid that the family background will not be too good, does Miss Tian have requirements in this regard?" ”
Fu Yuanyuan shook his head: "My daughter asked, she has no requirements for her family background, she just hopes to be a man of good character." ”
Shen sighed: "This is easy to do, my mother will show it again, and there will be news when I turn around, and someone will send you a message." ”
At this moment, Shu Sanniang walked in quickly, and Ying Yingfu said, "Madam, the master is back." ”
Shen Shi was stunned: "Why did you come back at this hour?" ”
Shu Sanniang replied: "The slave doesn't know, I heard that as soon as the master came back, he went to the study to pack up his things, and asked people to come to the backyard to inform Mrs. and pack up a few outfits for going out." ”
Shen hurriedly stood up, instructed Mama Feng to take care of Brother Feng'er, and hurried back to the back room Zhang Luo.
"Your father is very busy these days, and some time ago he was so busy that he stayed in the household department at night," Shen Shi told Shu Sanniang and the others to pick up their clothes, and complained to Fu Yuanyuan, "This makes my mother pack up, I'm afraid I'm going to go somewhere for business." ”
Fu Yuanyuan blinked, she hadn't heard Qin Ze mention whether the household department had been busy recently.
"It is said that there is a war in the southwest, and the household department wants to prepare military funds, and this military capital is said to be wanted, and I am in a hurry, and my mother knows that it is not easy to do the affairs of the household department."
Shen bluntly told Fu Yuanyuan about Fu Pingyuan's recent busy affairs, and as he was saying that, Fu Pingyuan strode in with a meteor.
Seeing Fu Yuanyuan in the back room, he was stunned for a moment, and then happily rubbed his daughter's hair: "Daddy is going out to run errands, and if you have more time to accompany your mother and brother." ”
Fu Yuanyuan agreed, but saw that Fu Pingyuan didn't look carefully at what Shen had packed up, and let the little guy carry it and run out.
Before leaving, he drove his subordinates and his daughter out, hugged Shen and comforted: "It may take a few days for your husband to come back, don't worry." ”
Fuping came and went in a hurry, so that the mother and daughter, who were only halfway through the meal, were in no mood to continue eating.
The Shen family was worried about Fu Pingyuan, and Fu Yuanyuan was to appease his mother.
After the meal, he accompanied the Shen family to rest, and Fu Yuanyuan set off to return to the prince's mansion.
"Niangniang," Yinbao finished what Fu Yuanyuan had ordered, and waited for her to come back in front of Taozheng Courtyard, "The slave maid went to Nishang Building today and mentioned Miss Luo's matter to Ai Niangzi. ”
Miss Luo that Yinbao said was Luo Qi's sister, because she promised Chang Yide to transfer Miss Luo from Yangzhou City to the capital, Fu Yuanyuan arranged for Yinbao to communicate with Ai Niangzi.
"Ai Niangzi said no problem," Yinbao chirped, "She also specially transferred the news of the new embroidery girl in Yangzhou City, saying that Yangzhou City's Ni Shang Lou's assessment of Miss Luo is good, and she can continue to study after coming to the capital, and she has the opportunity to become an official embroiderer." ”
When Fu Yuanyuan heard this, he bowed his head and said: "You ask Anshun to send a message to Changfu, so that my cousin will not remember this matter." ”
It wasn't until Qin Ze came back that Fu Yuanyuan learned about the disappearance of the baggage boat.
"Since there is no wind or rain, how can a good ship disappear after the fleet?"
There's a hint of conspiracy here.
Qin Ze actually considered this possibility, but he was not sure: "The location where the baggage boat disappeared is exactly at the confluence of the three rivers, and it is said that there are several river bays where fishing boats are wrecked from time to time, so it is impossible to determine whether the baggage boat has an accident." ”
"In addition, in the middle of the night, the visual range is not wide, and the ship in front did not notice too much abnormality before discovering that it was missing."
Fu Yuanyuan was a little surprised: "Daddy is going to investigate the whereabouts of the baggage ship this time?" Will there be government assistance over there? ”
"Of course it will," Qin Ze nodded, "I have contacted the county government at the confluence of the three rivers and asked them to assist in investigating this matter." ”
"You have to have the help of fishermen who are familiar with the water and the Jinjiang River?" Fu Yuanyuan asked.
Qin Ze bowed his head: "That's right, I'm afraid I have to try salvage to see if the ship has hit the reef and sank, and I also want to see if it has been washed away somewhere by the surge." In short, there are many possibilities, things are uncertain, and my father-in-law is afraid that he will be busy for a long time before he can come back. ”
