Chapter 340: Return to the capital

The date of entering Beijing has finally been set. Chunying commanded her family to load the luggage one by one onto her own boat, and turned back to Hu Fei and said, "Bring so many things, but there are many people who want to give gifts?" Where we are going to visit after we arrive in the capital, you have to make a list for me, and if each family has any preferences or taboos, they must also be explained, so that I can distribute the gifts. ”

Hu Fei seemed to be a little absent-minded, his eyes only looked in the direction of the front yard, and when he heard his wife's question, he just casually "hmm". Chun Ying felt strange and gently pushed him: "Did you hear me?" While it is still in the Jiangnan territory, there is a place to inquire, so I will inquire first, and then I will say, if I miss something, it is convenient to make up for it. ”

Hu Fei responded, his eyes still looking in the direction of the front yard, and Chun Ying wondered: "Are you waiting for someone?" ”

"......" Hu Fei replied, and then saw Lao Zhang coming from the front, he hurriedly greeted him, the two whispered, and Hu Fei had a satisfied smile on his face. After whispering a few words, he returned to Chunying's side and said with a smile: "Don't worry, I inquired about the preferences of each family before I asked someone to buy it." You can't go wrong! The news is very kao! He blinked.

Chunying understood as soon as she heard it. He guards a royal intelligence bureau, close to the water, and is afraid that he won't be able to inquire about it? But in this way, with his identity, there are not many people who can give gifts. She looked back at the pile of satin brocade leno and cotton, and frowned: "How many families are you going to send?" ”

"The two younger sons of the father-in-law are about to get married, half of them are sent to the Wenjun Palace, and some are in the palace. Don't worry, I know in my heart that I won't mess around. ”

Chunying breathed a sigh of relief, and asked him with some curiosity: "What did you let Lao Zhang do?" Strange and mysterious. Hu Fei smiled: "When we leave the boundary of Suzhou, I will return you." ”

When Chunying said goodbye to her mother's family with her son, entered the Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal on the Hu family's boat, and officially went north, she finally understood what Hu Fei was pretending to be mysterious to hide. She looked at Hu Peng, who was jumping angrily on the shore in the distance, and glanced at Hu Fei: "Is this what it is?" What is there to hide from me? ”

Hu Fei smiled: "Originally, there was nothing to hide, but if you knew that he was in such a hurry, you would know the reason." ”

Chunying's eyes were curious, Hu Fei hugged Dai Bo over, took out the finger he held in his mouth, warned him solemnly, and handed it to the nurse, ordering her to take her son down. Fang Cai took his wife into the cabin and said, "He lost a lot of money in the casino yesterday, and he came here early this morning, presumably to ask me for money to pay off his debts." I didn't expect me to leave, Lao Zhang was also sent by me to Nanjing to take inventory, no one at home can call the shots, now it's up to him what to do! ”

Chunying was taken aback, thought about it, and asked carefully, "Could it be ...... It's a set of ...... you've set."

Hu Fei smiled: "He was already addicted to gambling, and even lost the money I used to treat his wife and buy medicine for a while, so who is to blame?" But I forced him. I have quietly asked the doctor, saying that his wife will not last long, that it will be good to survive the winter, and now that he is in debt, he may die of anger in two days. It's good, I'm outside, and I don't have to wear filial piety for her, it's disgusting! "He was even deprived of the qualification to wear linen and filial piety when his own father died, how could he mourn that wicked woman?! A slut who kills her husband. It deserves to end up like this!

Chunying's heart was relaxed for a while, she also didn't want to wear filial piety for such a person, and she even felt very annoyed by occasionally receiving some money. I've never seen such a cheeky person, obviously doing so many bad things, and falling into this situation again, and still having the face to put her mother-in-law and uncle in front of her?! Even his concubine can be so evil, because Hu Peng's wife returned to her parents' house with her daughter, her every move is as if she is a serious concubine, and she dares to criticize other people's housework. Last time, the little concubine put on the shelf of her sister-in-law again, Chun Ying ignored it, and walked over, and she shouted in shame that the second grandmother of the Hu family was disrespectful. Chunying asked her what her identity was in front of the rich young grandmothers in the county, and she ran away in a gloomy manner, and since then she has never dared to claim to be the grandmother of the Hu family in front of others.

Because considering that Hu Fei's social status in Jiangnan is not what it used to be, and there are businessmen who were familiar with the Hu family in the past who recognized the Hu family, the couple barely helped Hu Peng's family to live a life of food and clothing, but they were entangled by this kind of superb relative, so they knew how troublesome it was. Hu Fei gritted his teeth and endured the past every time, and now he can drag it, which is also a good thing. It's just that she is still a little worried: "No matter what, everyone knows that it is your mother-in-law, and you are now more conspicuous than in the past, if someone is picky, you still can't avoid the level of filial piety." I don't want my son to starve for her at such a young age! ”

Hu Fei smiled: "Don't worry, they won't be able to jump for long." When I entered Beijing last time, I had already met several clan elders of the Hu clan. There are many people who are not used to seeing the behavior of the patriarch, and I only hinted at a few words, and someone wrote to me last month that the patriarch had changed. Now that we have entered Beijing, we will make the evil deeds of Hu Peng's mother and son public, and the new patriarch will be the master and expel them from the family. It's better that the old woman died early, otherwise she would have been taken by the government, but she would have to be beheaded! He let out a sneer, how many years he had been looking forward to, and he could finally avenge his parents. The mother and son still think he is a bully? He's just waiting for the right moment!

Chunying didn't say anything, Hu Peng's mother and son suffered by themselves, so she wouldn't waste her compassion, but she was a little worried in her heart: "Hu Peng has no place to get money, will he find my house?" Also, their mother and son have fallen, and his concubine and two children are also in trouble, right? It's not that I'm soft-hearted, after all, the child hasn't committed a major crime, and I'm afraid that he will treat us as enemies in the future. ”

Hu Fei was careless: "I have already mentioned it to my father-in-law, they will avoid it." As for Hu Peng's concubine. Recently, he has secretly caught up with a wealthy family in the county, and when Hu Peng is dragged down, he may be used as an outroom. That man's wife is very powerful, she can't make any climate. If those two children really have no one to take care of, when we come back, we will find a foreign businessman who has no children and no daughters to adopt them, and go far away, so as not to bother! I'm worthy of them. ”

Chunying saw that Hu Fei had thought it through, so she also said more, and pulled him to enjoy and comment on the scenery on both sides of the strait.

Nothing happened all the way, more than twenty days later. They arrived at the Tongzhou wharf. Chunying stepped on the pedal, stepped down the land on the shore, looked up and looked around, and said to Hu Fei with a smile: "The first time I look at the dock from this angle, it's weird and fresh." Hu Fei smiled: "If you like it, we can come back a few more times in the future." ”

After a while, Mo Han, who had arrived in Beijing to prepare one step earlier, came over with a few carriages and saluted Hu Feichunying: "I've seen grandma and little master, how are grandma and grandma?" The little one has rented a house in Beijing and prepared a clean carriage, so the uncle, grandmother and young master will go home to rest, right? The steward of Kyori is already waiting at home, and the uncle can ask questions at any time. ”

Hu Fei smiled and helped him up: "You are the old man next to me, why be so polite?" I have always been relieved of your work. Second Master Lu's house and Uncle Lu's family, did anyone go to inform them? ”

"As soon as I got the letter from the master, the little one has already sent someone to inform him. When the uncle and grandmother arrive home, it won't be long before the two families will come. ”

"Okay." Hu Fei nodded with great satisfaction, and then turned around and beckoned Chunying and the others to get into the carriage. Chunying hugged her sleepy-eyed son from the nurse's hand, smiled twice, and asked, "Brother Dai hasn't woken up yet?" Look, this is the big pier! ”

Dai Bo glanced around diagonally in confusion, and then leaned to Chunying's neck. Chunying smiled: "When is it, haven't woken up yet?" Hu Fei pouted: "It's good that he falls asleep obediently, if he really wakes up, can we still have a peaceful birthday?" When he is asleep, he can deceive people, so that people who don't know his details think how well-behaved he is. Chunying glanced at him, and took the nurse and went to the carriage.

Suddenly, a sixteen or seventeen-year-old young girl jumped from behind the carriage, raised the curtain diligently, and said with a smile: "Grandma Hu, please get in the car, the car has been cleaned and is very clean!" ”

Chunying was startled, and saw that this girl had clear eyebrows and a cheerful temperament, although she was a little courteous, but she was not annoying, so she asked her with a smile: "Which one are you?" I don't recognize it. The girl smiled and said, "Grandma just calls me Ah Miao, and now she rents the uncle's field in the capital." But it's the first time I've seen my grandmother, and it's not surprising that my grandmother doesn't recognize it, but I'll recognize it in the future! ”

Chunying then knew that she was the daughter of a tenant family, and was about to ask again, but she heard a low cough not far behind her, and when she looked back, it turned out to be Mo Han. He seemed a little embarrassed, and waved his hand at Ah Miao: "What are you doing in front?" Go and see the luggage! Miao grimaced at him and went. Mo Han said to Chunying embarrassedly: "No one cleaned the rented house, because I saw that she was quite smart, so I called her." She doesn't understand the rules, don't be angry, grandma...... If she does something wrong, Grandma tells me and I'll teach her a lesson! ”

Chun Ying raised her eyebrows with interest, and Xiao Xiang behind her had already covered her mouth and snickered: "Yo-Brother Mo Han is quite attentive-" Xiao Xiang has long recognized Mo Han's mother as her stepmother, and now she spares no effort to make fun of her brother-in-law. Chun Ying saw that Mo Han's blushing was almost as red as a red egg, so she cleared her throat kindly: "Xiaoxiang, don't laugh at you, he's not young now." Let's get in the car. ”

Mo Han was so embarrassed by the laughter that he ran to the front to lead the way.

When she arrived at the house rented by Mo Han, Chun Ying first settled the child and went out of the front yard before taking a closer look at the place. It turned out that this was outside Chongwen Gate, not far from her brother-in-law's house, not far from the former courtyard of the Lu family, and it was also very convenient to enter the inner city. A total of three in and three out, the place is big enough, the house is eighty percent new, the flowers and trees in the yard are also quite lush, and the whole is not bad. Even if you set up a few tables to receive guests here, you will not be ashamed.

She nodded secretly, and began to instruct her family to put the luggage in a suitable place, and after a busy day, she finally settled down, and her sister-in-law and second uncle and aunt also arrived.

After three years of separation, they are very concerned about each other. Chunying and Qiu Yu hugged their heads and cried, and were reprimanded by the second uncle, talking about the recent situation of their parents and younger brothers, and talking about their experiences after parting, and cried again, it was dinner time. Chunying left them to eat.

Ah Miao was very capable of cooking two tables of wine and food, Hu Fei Chunying accompanied her relatives to eat and drink, and assessed Ah Miao's behavior in her heart, and nodded secretly. Chunying sent her sister and brother-in-law away, and instructed her mother-in-law to prepare a guest room for the second uncle's family, turned around and gave Hu Fei a look, and beckoned the family to clean up the table. Hu Fei called Mo Han into the study and said that he was going to get down to business.

The next day, the husband and wife went outside the city to visit the grave of Hu Fei's parents. It is close to the Qingming season, and the sky is drizzling. Hu Fei tidied up his father's grave, and then went to the nearby mother's grave and cried fiercely, promising her family that the pain of the past had gradually subsided. In the past, he was incapable and unable to protect his relatives, but from now on, he will never let his family suffer a little more grievances!

On the way home, the three of them sat in the carriage and kissed each other affectionately. Chunying coaxed her son in a whisper, telling her husband interesting stories about her son, Hu Fei smiled on her lips, and from time to time she raided Chunying, causing Chunying to hit him. Dai Bo jumped up to kiss his mother dissatisfied, was glared at by his father a few times, Dai Bo glared at him unconvinced, Chun Ying laughed and fell to the side and shouted that her stomach hurt. When Hu Fei saw it, he smiled embarrassedly. A family of three burst into laughter.

On the third day after returning to Beijing, they had to go to the palace of Wenjun to ask for peace. Chunying was wearing a full set of satin coats, choosing the safest red dress and green dress, and wearing a newly beaten red gold and gem-encrusted head on her head, looking like a lady of a rich family. She was holding Dai Bo, who was dressed in pink and jade, and behind her, she was dressed decently dressed as a maid and daughter-in-law, and she was one step behind and went out with the newly dressed Hu Fei, and got into the sedan chair upright.

This is the first time she has carried out social activities in the capital in the name of Hu Feiyuan's main room, and she went to a place like the palace, so she couldn't be careless.

Hu Fei rode a horse to take the lead, led the sedan chair and the carriage carrying the maid and the servant, entered the gate of the palace, got off the horse in the front yard, and whispered a few words on the side of the wife's sedan chair, and someone led him to the study to see the prince. Chunying took a deep breath and continued to sit in a sedan chair outside the second gate, before the housekeeper of the palace brought a servant woman to welcome her off the sedan chair and led her to the main hall to meet the princess.

was about to enter the second gate, and suddenly two more sedan chairs came, and Chunying couldn't help but pause at her feet. The servant women who greeted the guests divided into two people to greet them, and after a while, one of them walked back and reported to the housekeeper's lady: "It's the third young grandmother from the Qingguo Marquis Mansion who is here." The housekeeper's lady let out a subtle smile: "It's that aunt." Then tell someone to tell them about it. ”

Chunying blinked. The third young grandmother of the Marquis of Qingguo's mansion, isn't it Fan Xiru? remembers that she seems to have recognized Princess Wenjun as her godmother. Why did you run into her so coincidentally today?
