Chapter 180: Uninvited Guest
Let's say Fu Qiuning, let Jin Fengju's sudden move make her mind confused, she originally felt sleepy, but now she didn't even take a nap, and called Yu Niang Yujie and Jian Feng and said: "Today's matter, the little girls don't know a lot, only the three of you know, for the sake of the peace and stability of our Fengyalou, this matter is not allowed to leak a word." Even if someone doubts it, the temptation in the face and in the dark must be concealed from me, do you understand? β
The three of them also knew that this matter was important, so they all nodded their heads and explained. Fu Qiuning sighed, he had a stomach full of things to say to these henchmen, but he didn't know what to say. There was a moment of silence in the room. Yujie stood up and said, "The small kitchen in the back made a new snack today, I'll go and see if it's okay, and pick up two plates for grandma." After speaking, I was just about to go out, when I saw the little girl running over, and said crisply: "Grandma, grandma, there is someone outside who said that it is grandma's sister, and he came to see grandma, grandma go out and pick it up." β
"Sister?"
Fu Qiuning looked at the little maid in surprise, then looked at Yujie and Yu Niang, and wondered, "When will I have a sister?" Who's here? Do you two know? β
Several maids laughed when she said this, and Yu Niang shook her head and said, "Why did grandma ask the slave maid about this?" Where do we know about grandma's relatives? I'm afraid the rain steps are better, but I've been with my grandmother for so many years, and I really haven't heard of my grandmother's relatives visiting you, but there are still people in the palace who occasionally come to visit. β
Fu Qiuning said in his heart, is there someone in the palace who is visiting? It was to play the blockbuster "Deep House Spy", so he stood up and said, "That's it, whoever it is, take it out and take a look." As she spoke, a flash of inspiration crossed her mind, as if something was passing in front of her, but she didn't catch it.
Coming out of Fengya Building, I saw a small sedan chair in the courtyard, and Xia Yue, the maid next to Jiang Wanying, was standing outside the sedan chair. Seeing her come out, he stepped forward and said with a smile: "This is Prince Lie's aunt, she came to our house today, and it was our second grandmother who received her, saying that she was going to see grandma, so the second grandmother sent a slave maid to send her over." β
As he spoke, the big red sedan curtain was lifted, and then a beautiful young woman walked out. As soon as she saw Fu Qiuning, she stepped forward with a spring breeze on her face, and Qiuning hurriedly helped her up, and suddenly realized in her heart. Secretly yes, Jin Fengju once mentioned to me before, saying that my second uncle's concubine married Prince Lie as a concubine, and now it seems that this sister has been promoted from a concubine to an aunt. β
Because she also cheered up, she greeted Fu Qiulan with a smile on her face, and welcomed her into the house, Xia Yue withdrew, and the two sisters sat down in the side hall. Jian Feng personally served the tea, and Fu Qiuning said: "When my sister came out of the pavilion, I caught up with something in my house, but I didn't have time to go back to get married. β
Although Fu Qiulan is glamorous. But it seems to be calm, and he laughed softly when he heard the words: "My sister is the same as me, I can't help myself, if I was still naΓ―ve in the past, I didn't know these twists and turns in my heart, what else do I not know now?" I have nothing to do, I often miss my sister, and I want to come here for the past few years. You must be much more difficult than me, but it's a pity that my sister understands this truth too late, otherwise she should have come to see her earlier. People say that it is the most difficult to send charcoal in the snow, but now my sister has the grace of the little marquis, what I say at this time is that sisterhood is deep, but there is a suspicion of icing on the cake. In fact, whether it is a charcoal in the snow or the icing on the cake. Left and right, our sisters are just a sympathy. β
When she said this, Fu Qiuning was greatly surprised, but she looked at her sister's face carefully, and she couldn't see the clue, because although she was muttering in her heart, she smiled and said, "Why did my sister say this?" I heard our father say that my sister was married to be a concubine, but now she is an aunt, which is a good thing, how can you talk about such a thing as sympathy? β
Fu Qiulan smiled slightly and muttered, "Auntie?" What's the difference with a concubine? For the prince, it's just a novelty that can be thrown away in a few days. Fortunately, I was pregnant with one in my belly, otherwise the palace would be full of beauty, where would it be my turn to be my aunt? β
Fu Qiuning's face immediately showed joy, stood up and said, "It turns out that my sister actually has a body?" This is a great event, if you can give birth to Prince Lie, are you afraid that you can't collect three thousand favors in one? After speaking, he stepped forward to take a closer look at Fu Qiulan's waist, and asked her how many months it was, and I heard that it was only more than two months, so I was busy and asked her to take good care of it.
The two sisters talked for a while, and seeing that the sun was off, a mother-in-law walked into the outside and said: "Auntie has been out for a long time, I'm afraid the prince will remember it, so it's better to go back to the palace early." After speaking, I saw Fu Qiulan stand up, with a hint of sadness on her face, and said softly: "Sister, I'm going back, I'll have leisure another day, I'll come to see my sister again, if my sister is free, I look forward to going to Nafu to see me, you know that I am a lively person, but now I am claustrophobic and deep, and I am really lonely." β
Fu Qiuning hurriedly agreed, and he was sent out of the door here, and after watching the sedan chair go, Fang turned around. But he heard Yujie puzzled: "Grandma, this sixth girl, I did see it when I was in the palace, but the relationship with grandma doesn't seem to be very deep, what does it mean to come over suddenly?" β
Fu Qiuning smiled and said, "Do you understand that everything should change with the same?" It doesn't matter what she means, as long as we don't mean it ourselves, we don't want to calculate her, and we won't let her calculate. After speaking, he returned to the bedroom, leaned on the couch, stretched his waist and said: "Okay, when I saw this guest, I hooked my sleepiness again, and there was still a while before the children left and right, and let me crook it first." β
As soon as the words fell, I heard another little maid outside the door say, "Grandma, Aunt Huo is here." β
"Aunt Huo?"
Fu Qiuning sat up suddenly, first glanced at the rain steps suspiciously, and then said angrily: "What's the matter today?" God just doesn't want me to rest. Yujie, you wait a while to look through the yellow calendar, to see if there is something inappropriate at home, at home to meet the strange days of the guests, this is really strange. β
Yujie couldn't help but want to laugh, but when he saw his grandmother was annoyed, he didn't dare to laugh, and hurriedly accompanied Qiu Ning to the side hall, only to see Aunt Huo sitting there drinking tea, and when she saw Qiu Ning coming out, she stood up and blessed her, and said with a smile: "There is no time in Su Ri, I have long had the heart to come to see grandma, and I can't get a leisure, our second grandmother, what does grandma not know?" But if she is allowed to meet her, she will not be able to highlight her talents if she does not turn the group of my envoys around. Finally I woke up this morning and felt a little headache, called me sick, and then I had some time to come over in the afternoon. β
Fu Qiuning smiled slightly, sat down on the main seat, and said lightly: "My sister has a headache, so she should recuperate in the room, she came to me, and she turned around and suffered the wind again, you know, it was my sister who came by herself, I don't know, I thought I ignored my sister's illness, what did I do to support you, at that time, wouldn't I be even more vicious than Sister Wan?" β
Aunt Huo was stunned, and then said with a smile: "Where did grandma say, no one will think like this anymore, since you moved to this Fengya Building, hey, you don't need to say this, just say that you are in Wanfeng Xuan, can there be anyone in this mansion who can find fault with you?" Grandma Wan Er made trouble twice, how did it end up in the end? I feel like a mirror in my heart, this is not only because my grandfather spoils my grandmother, but also because I am reasonable all over the world, and my grandmother is sitting upright, what are you afraid of it? β
While speaking, he reached out and took a box from the maid's hand, and said with a smile: "This is the dim sum sent by my mother's family yesterday, saying that it invited a Westerner dim sum master, I eat it is indeed different from our dim sum, not that it is stronger than our dim sum, but it has a general flavor, I also sent two boxes to the old lady in the afternoon, and they also said that they were good after eating." β
Although this Aunt Huo's position is not high, because her mother's family is also a Beijing official from the third grade, she can often go to Mrs. Jiang and others in Kangshouyuan, and she is not as cautious and low status as other wealthy Houmen.
Hearing her words at the moment, Fu Qiuning's whole person seemed to be thundered, and he looked at the box in surprise.
This Western dim sum is indeed a novelty, Aunt Huo's father is only in charge of the errand of paying tribute to foreigners in the ceremonial department, and there are more people in contact with this aspect, so with such a master, he made dim sum, and he was busy sending people to send it to his daughter, hoping that she could stabilize her position in the Guogong Mansion and not be sent to Zhuangzi like that Aunt Xu. Because when they were sent to the room of Lao Taijun, Mrs. Jiang and Jiang Wanying, everyone also felt strange, and they all said that they were okay after eating, so when they saw Fu Qiuning surprised, she didn't care. It's just that this Ning Er's grandmother has an expression that has been struck by lightning, which really can't help but make people wonder.
"Grandma, grandma?"
Huo Shi screamed twice, Fu Qiuning finally came back to her soul, and when she saw the other party's confused expression, she knew that she had lost her temper. But she can't be blamed for this, she has always thought that although this Daning Dynasty is not too closed, it has very few contacts with countries on the other side of the ocean. The reason why the glass mirror mentioned by Jin Fengju before can be sold at a sky-high price in the capital is because there are very few businessmen who go to the West to do business? How...... Why is it that now the family of a small Beijing official can invite foreigners to make snacks? This...... Could it be that during this period, there were already frequent contacts with the West, but I was sitting at home watching the sky, so I didn't know it? That's not right, this country is extremely rich, if it is really a frequent trade, there should be a lot of Western objects in this mansion, right? But now, apart from the chiming bell she saw in a few rooms, and the occasional bottle of perfume, she hardly saw anything else.
