When it comes to the lawsuit of the second house of Jin Min, this matter has already been in front of the emperor, and Jin Dongsheng or the prime minister's office are counting on the emperor to intervene, no matter how to give a clear result.

But the emperor ordered the government to act according to the law, and sent them back as soon as it was difficult for the officials to decide the family affairs.

After Fuyi went home, he came to visit Chuxia in the courtyard of the garden, and it happened that the eldest sister-in-law was also there, and he would ascend to the church tomorrow, and Chuxia would be summoned to the church.

The eldest sister-in-law said: "It's better to be clever, and before you take it back, send it to the yamen as a witness, otherwise those who are shameless should be said to be the sins of our family." ”

Fu Yi hurriedly booed and said to his sister-in-law: "This matter is under the responsibility of the third uncle, you can't cause me to be scolded by my father." ”

The eldest sister-in-law hurriedly covered her mouth and shook her head again and again, indicating that she would never say anything again.

Chu Xia saw that her cousin and the bride of the Zhu family were so intimate, and couldn't help but say: "The concubines in the Prime Minister's Mansion can't wait to pinch you to death every day, or nest in a bunch of demons, I thought that the Jin family had a simple population, but I didn't expect ......."

Fu Yi asked: "Forgive me for taking the liberty of being presumptuous, how many people live in the Prime Minister's Mansion?" ”

Chu Xue counted them one by one, in addition to the old lady and the big house, the second room and the third room, etc., together with the two brothers of the old man and his children and grandchildren, there are many more people in the family than the Zhu family, and the relationship in the Duke's Mansion is far less clear at a glance.

Fu Yi said: "In this way, it is not easy for Mrs. Min to take care of the housework. ”

Chu Xue and Chu Xia glanced at each other, obviously feeling that the support was too high to look at them, Chu Xia said: "How to say, my aunt holds great power, and the rest of the family is counting on her, I don't dare to make a time, I don't have the ability to fight, I have a better life, and I have a livelihood, otherwise I will borrow the name of the Prime Minister's Mansion, and my life will not be satisfactory." ”

These words, when leaving the small courtyard, Chu Xue said to Fuyi carefully: "I wish the family a three-hundred-year foundation, which is the same life as Daqi, Minfu is only three or four generations, and when it comes to grandpa's generation, it is already prosperous." None of my father's uncles were reused by the emperor, but they were just eating in the court, although my grandfather had many protégés and a wide range of contacts, but he was old. As for the concubine Niangniang, she has not been as beautiful as before in the past few years, and she has been pressed by the queen and the Yang family, and she has no power to fight back. Fuyi, if you are not afraid of your jokes, I can marry into the Zhu family, I am probably the best in the Prime Minister's Mansion at the moment. ”

Fu Yi said: "That's also a blessing for the good sister-in-law." ”

Chu Xue smiled: "It's because you have a good heart that you think I'm good, and my father-in-law and mother-in-law think I'm unproductive." She said, remembering something, and said with a smile, "I want to ask you for one thing for Yan'er, she is greedy for her brother to study, and she wants to come to Yuhengxuan every day, and when she sees her brother endorsing, she also follows to study, if your aunt doesn't think her little niece is stupid, can you take her to study with Huaifeng?" ”

Fu Yi smiled: "I was going to ask, why didn't I send Yanran here, but I thought it was the second aunt who didn't agree." ”

Chu Xue said: "That's not it, it's because Yanran is too young, I'm afraid I can't sit still, I see that she won't be fresh for two days, you are tired and coax her for two days, and I will take her back." ”

Although the complexion is good, it is inevitable that the fat powder is superior, so he asked: "What kind of rouge gouache does my sister-in-law use, it looks better than mine." ”

Chu Xue said: "This is your brother asked someone to buy it for me, what is from Suzhou, I don't know the goods." It's just that it's better than buying it at home, and when your brother sees that he likes it, he often asks friends from the south to bring some to me, but it's at home, and I haven't used it for a long time. ”

Fu Yi asked: "Sister-in-law took those rewards?" ”

Chu Xue shook her head and said softly: "I don't dare to let my mother-in-law know that I have other expenses, of course I can't take it out to reward people, she doesn't ask on weekdays, only when I use Zhonggong's things." ”

Fu Yi smiled: "Sister-in-law, you might as well give it to me, I rewarded the little girls casually, and it's not a matter for you to always save it, and I can't cope with the favor here." ”

Chu Xue said generously: "Let's take it, my mother-in-law just went back to her parents' house, so I can sneak to see Chu Xia." ”

When the two of them came to Dongyuan, they only saw Zhou's mother who stayed at home, but Zhou's mother was a good person, and when she saw that she was intimate and harmonious, it was too late to be happy, and she would not play right and wrong in front of the second lady.

Fuyi took away the rouge gouache of the eldest sister-in-law, and soon Minzhi and Yingzhi also sent them all the uses, the third lady of Xiyuan, after being pregnant, she didn't apply grease and powder, and Huizhi also turned it out better, Yunzhi's own had already thrown it away, and asked for some old lady's house.

Fuyi is not an expert, except for the texture and color, the rest can not be distinguished, so each of them is picked out, divided into labels, all sorted out, ordered to send out, find a reliable rouge shop, let them give an explanation.

Zhengming quickly went to do something, came back and said that he had set a date for tomorrow afternoon, and ordered him to keep an eye on this matter, and leave nothing else to worry about for the time being.

And tomorrow, there will be someone in the family to send Chuxia to the court, this matter has not yet been decided, Fu Yi did not dare to come out without permission, so when he used the inner courtyard to send supplements to the third lady, he brought a message to Huizhi.

Before sunset, the chief steward in the third lady's room came to Xinghua Hall, begging the eldest lady to make decisions for her nephew and daughter-in-law, and she could send Chuxia to the hall tomorrow to be a witness.

The eldest lady shook her head when she heard this, she didn't have time to dislike it, her younger brother and sister still had the face to let her accompany her to the court, how could she go to court with such a noble background.

"Ask the old lady to go." The eldest lady did not hide her disgust, "The matter of Jin Min's second mansion, I wish the housewife to go, it is not appropriate to be reasonable." ”

So the people in the third room begged the old lady again, and it didn't take long for the news to come that the old grandmother named Fuyi to send Chuxia to the hall.

"You said that no matter how stupid the third lady is, she won't come to beg you to accompany the lawsuit." Mother Wang couldn't help her a few days ago, and she became more and more resentful, and instigated, "Dare to be affectionate, it is the young lady's calculation, go around in a big circle, she has achieved her goal but can pretend to be innocent, and she shirks everything cleanly." ”

The eldest lady doesn't have such scheming, she has always oppressed people with power, just now when the third room came, she didn't expect that she would be put on the table again.

"What is that little slut's brain made of?" The eldest lady hated, "Why is she so shrewd." ”

Mother Wang said: "The young lady loves to do things, how can there be a bride who shows her face outside, since she doesn't know her own respect, you just stand on the shore and let the eldest master clean it up by himself." ”

The eldest lady sneered: "Forget it, now your young lady, but the chips in his hand are expensive." ”

Fu Yi didn't know that he had become a bargaining chip in his father-in-law's hand, and he was still careful in everything, and he waited on the side of the road that night, and met the eldest master before the eldest lady, asking for instructions on tomorrow's affairs, if she could come forward.

Zhu Chengqian was naturally not happy, but after thinking about it, it had already made trouble in front of the emperor, and the emperor knew that their family had rescued people, and he had a few words of praise, since this was the case, he should also send the Buddha to the west.

"When you go to court, you can't talk too much, that's not the place for you to interject. If the Min Mansion wants to take people back, don't stop them. Zhu Chengqian said, "This is not our family's business." ”

Fu Yi bowed and promised: "The daughter-in-law has written it down." ”

Zhu Chengqian glanced around and asked, "What about Rong'er, you haven't come back yet?" ”

Fu Yi said: "Xianggong is practicing in the garden, and when he is practicing, he never allows his daughter-in-law to disturb him. ”

"That's how it should be, you just need to serve him every day, the affairs of the court, the affairs outside the home, and his own affairs, don't interfere indiscriminately." Zhu Chengqian said, "I heard that my mother-in-law is in Jizhou, and she is famous for her virtuous and virtuous virtues, so don't lose your mother's good reputation." ”

Fu Yi sneered in his heart, and his face was humble: "My daughter-in-law doesn't dare." ”

Seeing the eldest master leave, the people on the side of the door were relieved, thinking that they were also nervous and worried.

She walked over and said with a smile: "When the Double Ninth Festival meets the full moon of the little boy, the family should be lively, the Mid-Autumn Festival is busy, and the Double Ninth Festival is also busy, so I can't take care of you." The third prince said that he would reward you with silver, and when I came back from the court tomorrow, I would send it to you one by one. ”

Everyone couldn't help but be overjoyed, but some people said behind their backs, whether the young lady would deduct the buckle and only give a penny, Citron heard a few words, and complained to Fuyi: "It's really insatiable." ”

Fu Yi said: "This is also human nature, let's take care of it, go and order them to prepare hot water, and the son will come back from boxing." ”

Citron smiled and said, "Zhengming said, take me next time to see how my uncle practiced, don't you want to go, miss?" ”

Fu Yi said: "Your aunt doesn't allow me to see it." ”

Citron sighed: "Miss is really obedient, you listen to whatever your uncle says." ”

Fu Yi took out the abacus made of white jade beads from the drawer and pouted her: "Hurry up, ask for some more melons and fruits." ”

It didn't take long for Zhu Rong to come back, he had always been vigilant and meticulous, and when he entered the door, he asked, "Did you drop the rouge box today?" The smell was terrible in the room. ”

Fu Yi ordered someone to open the window for ventilation, and said with a smile: "The third son's nose is really spiritual, and you can still smell it after blowing all afternoon." ”

Zhu Rong joked: "My subordinates have been to places they shouldn't go, and I know them as soon as I smell them, so they are all afraid of me." He asked Fuyi, "Did you drop something, did you hurt it?" ”

Fu Yi shook his head: "Yes, it matters, but tomorrow there is a result, I will tell you again, you tell me first, go to court, what should I do." ”
