Text: Outside the five (outside the end)

When Fu Qiuning was just pregnant, Jin Fengju did ask Zhao Lun to resign from the affairs of the yamen, and he couldn't help but let the brother-in-law put down the emperor's shelf, coaxing and persuading. In all fairness, Zhao Lun is now the emperor, even if he hasn't changed, as a courtier, he should have the proportions of a courtier. In desperation, the little marquis had no choice but to agree to Zhao Lun and continue to be a cow and a horse for him.

It lasted until April, seeing that his wife would give birth at any time, Jin Fengju quit. Zhao Lun also knew that he actually owed a lot to this brother-in-law, and he had to plan for the future, so he gave him a month's long vacation for the first time to show that his brother-in-law of the emperor was also very humane, and the purpose was of course to keep his brother-in-law and let him continue to work hard for himself.

Fu Qiuning now has a very big belly, and she can't sleep well at night because of the oppression, so she can only put a quilt pillow on her back, and half-sit and sleep for a while every night. Jin Fengju knew that she was uncomfortable, and he didn't work hard, but whenever Fu Qiuning couldn't sleep, he chatted with him next to him, telling him interesting things he encountered when he visited various places in the past.

This thoughtfulness is not to mention in ancient times, but in modern times, how many men can do it? Fu Qiuning was sweet in her heart, but looking at her husband's increasingly thin face and dark circles, she was also really distressed. So when she saw the child that night, she interrupted Jin Fengju and said: "It's too late, the master should also sleep, now it's the middle of the month, the doctor said, even the end of the month is not impossible, how can you stay up like this?" ”

Jin Fengju smiled: "Why not? You can drag such a big body, am I not as good as you as a man? Don't worry, I can get through it, or I won't be able to sleep either. He touched Qiu Ning's belly, smiled with great satisfaction and happiness, and said softly: "As long as I think of this little guy, I will naturally be able to endure it, I see that your belly is much bigger than Wanying Meizhuang and them, so it can be seen that the little guy will definitely not be small." Hehehe......"

Fu Qiuning smiled: "Yes, it's definitely not small, I can't lie down at all now, look at the swollen legs." Sitting in front of the mirror that day, I couldn't admit myself, and I was sincere because of my father, who faced me every day with such a fat woman, and was so willing that she didn't even go out of the house. ”

Jin Fengju couldn't help but laugh again when he heard his wife praise his sincerity. Said proudly: "That's nature, I told you, I won't talk about sweet words, but I will let you see my actions......" As he spoke, he put his head on Qiu Ning's stomach, and then wondered: "Did the little guy come up with it?" The boxing and kicking on weekdays are endless, why is it so quiet tonight? Maybe it's just trying to climb out. ”

Fu Qiuning couldn't help laughing out loud with one sentence, shook his head and said, "Come on." Do you not sleep yourself, thinking that your baby is as tireless as you? Go to sleep, I'm tired now. ”

Jin Fengju had no choice but to lie down. He is afraid that his wife will give birth these nights, so he often has to wake up after sleeping for less than half an hour, and it will take a long time to sleep after waking up, and he is too excited about the imminent birth of this little life. After such a toss, I only sleep for one or two hours every night, so I have dark circles under my eyes.

fell asleep in a daze, who knew that as soon as he saw Zhou Gong driving auspicious clouds towards him, he heard Fu Qiuning's voice say, "Master, I'm ...... I have a stomachache and want to come...... It's about to give birth to ......."

Jin Fengju's surprise is not trivial. A "carp fight" jumped up from the bed, so frightened that he just caught the mouse and came back, and the old cat who was lying down at the end of the bed also "meowed", and the hair all over his body exploded.

"Be honest, don't touch Qiuning."

At such a critical moment, Jin Fengju also forgot his phobia. As soon as he picked up the old cat, he rushed out, shouting: "Cut Feng, Qiuyu, hurry up, Qiu Ning is going to give birth, midwife...... Call the midwife ......"

The tranquil Qingning Xuan was fried at once. In the blink of an eye, countless lights and candles lit up, illuminating like day. The midwife was bombarded in her sleep, and she entered Qiuning's room while tying her clothes, and Jin Fengju was about to go in, but she was blasted out, which is not counting, she didn't even let him stay in the house, only said that he should go to the study to listen to Xin'er.

Where is the little marquis, so he put on a piece of clothing and walked around the courtyard, listening to Fu Qiuning's cry from inside, even at the moment of life and death, Jin Feng, who was not out of order, was in a big mess, kept clasping his palms and praying to God, and worshiped the gods and Buddhas he knew.

At that time, Mrs. Jiang and the others were also alarmed, and hurried over with the support of the maids, and saw that her son was in a hurry in the courtyard, so she stepped forward to comfort a few words, and then went into the house.

It was getting brighter, but the movement in the room never stopped. Jin Fengju was so anxious that he suddenly saw Qiu Yu come out in a hurry, and ordered the little maids to prepare hot water to send in, he hurriedly grabbed it, and asked anxiously: "Why is Qiu Ning still calling at this time?" Other...... Don't be ......" and "difficult birth", but I don't dare to say anything.

Qiu Yu hurriedly smiled: "Don't worry, grandma, this is the first time to give birth, where is it so fast?" It's only been two hours. I'd better go to the study and wait first. ”

When it was dawn, the old lady also got the news, sent Luo Cui to come over in person, and made a few little girls report back and forth.

Jin Fengju was standing in the courtyard, several boys were by his side, the hearts of the masters were raised to their throats, the sweat on their foreheads flowed down into a stream, looking up at the high sun in the sky, Jin Fengju secretly said It's almost noon, right? Why hasn't it been born yet? Fortunately, no one said it was a difficult birth, oh my God, this ...... In the future, we must find a way to never let Qiu Ning get pregnant again, this is really too worrying and grinding......

Just thinking about it, he suddenly heard Fu Qiuning's hoarse roar from the room, Jin Fengju felt a tremor in his heart, and he took three or two steps up the steps, and was about to rush into the room, when he suddenly heard a loud cry, and then there was a burst of laughter inside.

Jin Fengju was stopped by the maids at the door, claiming that he wanted him to wait outside for someone to come to report the good news, and suddenly heard another burst of crying, and then there was a sensation in the house, as if something had happened, which made him anxious, and he wanted to break in regardless of it, but he saw the door curtain raised, Qiu Yu walked out, saw Jin Fengju, and hurriedly smiled and said with great joy: "Congratulations to Hou Ye, congratulations to Hou Ye, grandma gave birth to two sons, they are twins." ”

"What? Two sons? Twins? ”

Jin Fengju was stunned for a moment, then jumped up, and the three little guys behind him also jumped in, only to see that the midwife was waiting for Mrs. Jiang to give the good news, and the family's jubilant mouth couldn't close. Then Mrs. Jiang hurriedly said to Luo Cui: "I only know how to laugh here." Why don't you hurry up and tell the old lady about this happy letter in person. ”

Jin Fengju stepped forward, only to see Mrs. Jiang and Mrs. Fang each holding a baby in their hands, their wrinkled little faces, which were really not beautiful. But his heart was full of emotion, and he almost burst into tears in an instant. Just as he was about to reach out and touch the faces of the two babies, he heard Mrs. Jiang say: "Your hands are all thin calluses in order to practice kung fu, where can you stop the child's tender skin?" Let's go see your daughter-in-law. ”

Jin Fengju was so frightened that he immediately withdrew his hand and re-entered the room. I saw Fu Qiuning lying quietly on the bed, his face pale and his eyes closed. He was startled, and hurriedly ran over to grab his wife's hand, just to check his pulse, but heard Fu Qiuning say: "It's okay, I'm just too tired, who would have thought that he gave birth to two boys and almost exhausted me to death." ”

Jin Feng held his wife's hand. Speechless for a long time, Fu Qiuning opened his eyes and saw him looking at himself with a gentle smile. There seemed to be tears in his eyes. She suddenly understood her husband's intentions, shook her hand vigorously, and said softly: "You must be tired, you haven't slept for a day and a night, let's sleep for a while." ”

"I'm not tired, and I don't want to sleep." Jin Fengju came to the side of the bed, half-lay down next to his wife, and said softly: "I'm guarding you here, you go to sleep quickly, and gave birth to those two little things." I'm afraid I'll use up all your strength. ”

Fu Qiuning knew that if he didn't sleep, Jin Fengju would definitely not fall asleep, if he did, maybe he would be half-lying here, and he would be able to fall asleep slowly. Therefore he did not speak any more, but closed his eyes. I was so tired that I fell asleep after a while.

Just like Fu Qiuning said, Jin Fengju is guarding his wife here, the outhouse gradually quiets down, presumably the two children have been taken away by the wet nurse to breastfeed, he looked at his wife's quiet sleeping face here, only to feel very happy in his heart, and slowly fell asleep.

***********************************************

"Jin Zhenyi, Jin Zhenxuan, both of you can swallow the sky, right? That's a sachet made for my big brother, hand it over to me......"

It's another summer, Fu Qiuning is making belly pockets for a few children in the house, and the two twin sons are bouncing on the ground and playing with window flower ice cream. Hearing Jin Zangjiao's voice, and then the door curtain was raised, and Jin Zhenyi and Jin Zhenxuan rushed in in a panic.

"You two naughty people, why did you provoke your sister again?"

Fu Qiuning reluctantly got out of bed, and saw Jin Zangjiao and Jin Xiuzhen breaking in violently, as soon as they saw her, they all stood up, put on a smiling face and said sweetly: "Why is my mother in the house?" I saw you go to Aunt Yanfang before, when did you come back? ”

Fu Qiuning glared at them, pretended to be angry and said: "Look at the two of you, Jiao'er, you are thirteen, in two years, you should find your mother-in-law, why don't you accept this temperament at all, can you really be a tigress?" Look at your second sister, a girl who was originally more Wenxiu, and now she is so good at learning from you, if you do this, I can't control you, so I'm going to let your father ask for family law. ”

As soon as Jin Zhenyi and Jin Zhenxuan heard Fu Qiuning say this, they immediately came over and said bitterly: "Auntie, what you said is so right, even the third sister, the fourth sister and the fifth sister have followed suit, and we don't dare to provoke it easily." Alas! It's just that the two younger brothers haven't grown up yet, otherwise, we five men wouldn't be afraid of their five chili peppers......"

"Plop" The maids in the room couldn't help but cover their mouths and laugh, Fu Qiuning was angry and funny, nodded Jin Zhenyi and Jin Zhenxuan with a finger, gritted his teeth and said: "You are not a good person, no wonder several girls chase you at every turn, who gave you a nickname?" ”

Before the words fell, I saw Jin Zhensheng and Jin Zhenye running over together, and giggled around the two brothers: "Chili, spicy, not delicious...... Spicy Mouth...... Brother, take us to catch toads......"

Fu Qiuning was helpless, since these two children were taken by Jin Zhenyi and Jin Zhenxuan to play the game of catching toads, they were about to be entangled as soon as they saw them, so that the frogs in the pond in the backyard were all unlucky, and every summer, they had to experience several thrilling games of being captured every day, but fortunately, these children knew Fu Qiuning's temperament, and he was not a cruel person, so the toads were also in danger.

But even so, I was caught several times a day. This is also something that greatly damages the self-esteem and courage of the toads. Fu Qiuning thought with amusement that fortunately these toads could not move, otherwise, maybe there would be a strange scene on the streets of the capital: thousands of toads moved out of the Yasukuni Mansion in groups.

Coaxed away a few children, and it was rare to have a holiday in the clan school today. Jin Zhensheng and Jin Zhenye brothers naturally followed Jin Zhenyi and Jin Zhenxuan. Jin Zangfeng is now a showman, and most of them are in the school on weekdays, and he often only comes back once every half a month.

Listening to the children's laughter in the distance, Fu Qiuning shook his head with a smile, said a few words to the maids, then picked up the needle and thread again, and suddenly heard the voices of the two little maids outside the door: "Master is back." She looked up. looked at Jin Fengju who walked in in surprise, and said with a smile: "Why did you come back at this time?" Is there anything going on in the yamen? ”

Jin Fengju said with a smile: "If it has been peaceful for a long time today, where are there so many things?" I have already asked the emperor to resign, and Zhensheng and Zhenye are also three years old, and it is time for me to fulfill the promise I made to you that day. ”

Fu Qiuning was stunned on the spot, and it took a while to come back to his senses, and he lost his voice: "What? Are you resigned? Is the emperor willing? The last time I entered the palace, the queen mother also said. The emperor made the idea to let you enter the cabinet, and when he is fifty years old, he will travel together. ”

Jin Fengju sneered: "Don't be stupid. He is the emperor, so easy to travel to the Zen position? Besides, even if he imitates the emperor, who will wait for him for twenty years? I'm not an emperor, don't I take advantage of my youth to accompany you and your children to travel all over the famous mountains and rivers, but I have to wait until I am fifty years old before leaving? Am I stupid? ”

Fu Qiuning couldn't help laughing, shook his head and said, "You are shrewd, but how can the emperor let you go easily?" ”

Jin Fengju snorted and said, "He let me go around the six parts, and I feel that I have experienced enough." I'm going to be a scholar in the cabinet, huh! When I don't know? Once I really enter the cabinet, I really have to wait until he is in the Zen position before we go on the road together, and I don't want to. Of course, the emperor is not a good bird, and in the end, the two of us fought in the ring for several days. Take a step back, he gave me a year of vacation, let me take you and the children out to play, and enter the cabinet after a year. Of course I didn't, and I finally got three years off from work. ”

Fu Qiuning was dumbfounded, blinked his eyes, and stammered, "You...... You bargained with the emperor? My God, emperors and courtiers like you are afraid that there is no one before or since, right? ”

Jin Fengju smiled proudly: "Of course, how many men like me who don't drill for their future careers and only seek happiness for their wives and children?" As for the emperor and the courtiers, hehehe, we are not just the relationship between the emperor and the courtiers, am I not still his brother-in-law? Can he, as a brother-in-law, still have a problem with me? In short, time is precious, alas! It's all because your husband is too capable, and now it's an unexpected joy to be able to come for a three-year vacation, and besides, after three years, your man is going to sell this life to the court, so Qiu Ning, hurry up and clean up, we can't waste a minute or a second. ”

Fu Qiuning made Jin Fengju laugh at it, thought about it and said, "Okay, the concubine will order someone to clean it up, it's just ...... Do you have to bring it with the kids? Feng'er has already won the show, known as a prodigy, do you want him to continue studying, like a master in the future, he will be named on the gold list at a young age......"

Without waiting to finish speaking, he saw Jin Feng raise his hand and said: "Bring everything with you, it's better to travel thousands of miles than to read thousands of books." How could there be anything wrong with the words of the ancestors? Whether it's the country or our Jin family, we don't need nerds. Feng'er is a pillar of talent, lead him out to experience experience, his future achievements will definitely be above me, and Zhensheng Zhenye is inseparable from you, and bring it. Although they are small, they are not without no one to take care of, they have traveled and grown up in the famous mountains and rivers, absorbing those beautiful spirits, and they will definitely become talents in the future, and when the time comes, the prosperity of my Jin family will be all in the hands of their brothers. ”

Fu Qiuning didn't ask again, she had been closed in the mansion for so many years, so she naturally hoped to go out to travel, although three years was a little longer, but it was not all outside in the three years, not to mention that she would spend decades in this mansion in the future, so while she was still young, it was right to go out and walk more.

So Jin Feng made it clear to the old lady and Mrs. Jiang, although her parents were not far away. But it's not like they're going to go for three years, they're just going out for a while, coming back for a few days, playing again, coming back for a while, and that's not a big deal.

Although poor Zhao Lun allowed his brother-in-law to take a three-year vacation, he still had a treacherous idea in his heart. Because it was calculated that he still had his grandmother at home, it was impossible to go for three years, and he would be able to play outside for all his time, but wait for him to come home. He could have grabbed a few more months of labor, even if he didn't give him a specific errand, and let him stay by his side to help him deal with some political affairs, and he even came up with the brilliant idea of letting Jin Fengju work as a temporary worker in the cabinet and turn him into a regular after three years. If Fu Qiuning knew about it, he might have to suspect that he was also a traverser.

Who knew that Jin Fengju had already seen through his intentions and bit to death the "three-year period" he personally promised. just refuses to exert a little residual heat for him. This made Zhao Lun so angry, thinking that you kid don't need to distinguish between public and private at this time, hum! There are three or four people in the cabinet who are very old, and when you enter the cabinet in three years, you will have to get rid of three or four old ministers at once, and at that time, I am afraid that those political affairs will not crush you. Hey! Otherwise, you think I'll be so kind? Really give you three years of vacation?

This pair of Huobao brother-in-law and brother-in-law have their own ideas in their hearts. But with the continuous disputes among the surrounding small countries, they all came to ask the Celestial Empire to call the shots. In addition, there are several countries on the border that have forgotten the lessons of the old days, and they are simply destroyed by a few short-tempered generals after they are about to move. But the ensuing resettlement was a big trouble, for a while, all over the country flew to the capital like snowflakes, Zhao Lun was busy every day in the dark, and now he really missed his capable brother-in-law.

***************************************

"Master, didn't you say three years? Why is it that only two years have passed, and you have promised the emperor to return to the cabinet? ”

Standing at the bow of the ship, you can already see the pier of the capital, Fu Qiuning and Jin Fengju stood side by side on the side of the ship, and couldn't help but ask him with a smile.

Jin Feng glanced at her. He whispered: "Knowingly, haven't you seen how many urgent letters have been received in the past eight hundred miles?" The border countries are constantly strife, the territory has expanded so much, the cabinet ministers are generally old, and the emperor must be exhausted until now. If I don't know any more. is still only concerned about his own leisure, really waiting for the cabinet in the future, he must not abuse the emperor's power to rectify me to death? ”

Fu Qiuning couldn't help but bow his head and smile. Jin Fengju and Zhao Lun, a pair of monarchs and ministers, she had never encountered in the history of her time, so she felt particularly novel and warm, so she nodded and said: "Yes, I can also see that we have traveled in various places, and the emperor wants to send a letter, and it is not easy to find us." I still think that if the master still insists on going his own way and refuses to come back, I am afraid that the emperor will draw shadow graphics and look for us all over the world. What's more, the emperor is in trouble here, even if he is playing outside, his heart is not solid after all. ”

Jin Fengju held his beloved wife's hand, and said with a smile: "That's right, in the final analysis, it is Qiu Ning that you know me best." For the sake of my brother-in-law that day, so many plans were done for him without hesitation, and now it is just to deal with some political affairs, after all, there is no constraint of the day, how can I ignore it? What's more, I've also thought about it, as the saying goes, it's convenient for you to be with others, and now I'm coming back to help the emperor in advance, can he not count it in his heart? With gratitude, I slowly asked him for it during the holiday that year, and he had nothing to say, didn't he? ”

"Huh? Master, are you still thinking about that year's vacation? Fu Qiuning's eyes widened, thinking to himself that I really thought that you were loyal and patriotic, and took the world as your own responsibility, who knew that you were making such calculations.

Jin Fengju saw his wife's surprised appearance, and probably felt a little embarrassed, coughed and said: "Of course, for the monarch to share worries and plan for the world, how can I, Jin Fengju, take personal gains and losses to heart?" As the saying goes, the people are the most important, the society is second, and the king is light, not to mention that I am such a courtier, right? Merely...... Ahem, the world won't always be peaceful, until then, hehe...... Hehehe......" When he said this, he leaned into Fu Qiuning's ear and whispered: "Hehe, your husband, am I a person who will do a loss-making business?" ”

Fu Qiuning was speechless, and suddenly felt some sympathy for Emperor Zhao Lun: Poor, what kind of national pillar is your brother-in-law? It's simply a profiteer.

"Master Hou, madam, the ship has docked......"

With the loud voice of the captain, the big boat slowly docked, Jin Fengju and Fu Qiuning took the hands of several children and slowly got off the boat, just at this time, a round of red sun in the mountain col on the edge of the sky struggled to struggle, and finally revealed the whole picture, the red sun hung high in the sky, shooting the first ray of sunlight to the earth, in an instant, the morning glow was dyed, and a new day began
