Chapter 210: Losing Ground
Fu Qiuning shook his head and smiled: "It's a happy event, if you say this, it will simply make me old." When the words fell, she saw that there was Kangshouyuan in front of her, and there seemed to be a discussion, so she was surprised: "What did you say?" Who dares to raise his voice in the old lady's garden? As he spoke, he hurried into the courtyard. I saw that on the wide green brick road in the courtyard, there were more than 20 large bamboo baskets at this time, all of which were filled with palm-sized green and black crabs. At this time, he was still crawling slowly, spitting out a few foams from time to time.
"Huh? Could it be that this is the hairy crab over there in Yangcheng Lake that Ye said before? Grandma, look at it, this head is really big, I have never seen a crab roe of this size. "There were a lot of maids gathered by the crab basket, and when they heard the words of the rain steps, they saw Fu Qiuning, and they were busy saluting. Suddenly, Jin Ming came in from the courtyard gate, and when he saw Fu Qiuning, he smiled and said, "Yo, the second grandmother is also here?" The slave was about to deliver crabs to the Fengya Building. After speaking, he commanded a few servants to distribute the crabs to the kitchen and each house and each courtyard, because the Yasukuni Mansion is rich and noble, and everyone also has a small kitchen in the house, but there is no special cook, it is convenient for the maids and masters of each house to make some snacks and sweet soup in their spare time. Boiling crabs is naturally no problem.
Fu Qiuning went up the steps, and the little maids at the door opened the curtain with a smile, only to hear Jin Fengju's voice coming from inside. Turning the screen, I saw him sitting next to the old lady, talking about the origin of the crab, and sure enough, it was sent from Yangcheng Lake. Mrs. Jin and Mrs. Jiang and Mrs. Fang all listened with smiles.
"Yo, my sister is late today. The crabs are almost all over for us to divide before you come over. Jiang Wanying saw Fu Qiuning coming in, even if she had no intention of caring about Jin Fengju and Fu Qiuning now, but at this time, she naturally couldn't help but want to say goodbye. Because when Jin Fengju came in, she and Aunt Huo and the others were there, and Mrs. Jiang thought that her son had really snubbed a few wives and concubines recently. ordered him to send someone to send the crab to Qingwan Pavilion first, she didn't dare to ban her son anymore, because Fu Qiuning was also a celebrity in front of the Queen Mother. However, these little things let him comfort and comfort his wives and concubines. It should be.
Jin Fengju also knew that Fu Qiuning would not care about this, so he agreed. Sure enough, I heard Fu Qiuning smile and said, "I heard that I heard that I could send a lot of crabs from Yangcheng Lake this time. I just saw it in the yard, and I was thinking about how it was only twenty baskets? It turned out that most of them had already been assigned. It's not easy to say. Yangcheng Lake is also seven or eight hundred miles away from here, right? It's hard to see how the crab is still alive. ”
Jin Fengju said with a smile: "Naturally, it is alive, although it is far away, the fast horse is more than a day's journey, as long as this crab is not put in the salt water, it can live for several days, and it just so happens that this is also the time when they are the fattest, but they can eat fresh." ”
The crowd laughed. Jin Fengju is about to say goodbye, although the old lady prefers him the most, but he is a person who has become a family, and it is not in line with etiquette to continue to stay in the upper room of this group of children. It's just that before the maids helped to open the curtains, they heard Jin Ming's voice outside: "Master, someone came to the palace, saying that the emperor has decreed that you will enter the palace immediately." ”
Jin Fengju's face changed, and he stepped out. frowned and said softly: "Do you know what is going on?" ”
"I don't know, it's Gonggong Guo who came to pass on the decree in person, it doesn't seem to be a trivial matter." Jin Ming replied respectfully, but saw Jin Feng frowning tightly together. He said to himself: "There has been no major event in the court recently, and it is approaching the Mid-Autumn Festival, what can be a big event at this time?" Having said that, he hurried back to his room to change his clothes, and then went to the palace with the eunuch who had passed on the message.
Because of such a sudden incident, the originally happy family suddenly lost their minds to laugh. Mrs. Jiang and Mrs. Fang all withdrew, Jiang Wanying also had something to do, Aunt Huo's Cui Shi Yuelan and other female dependents also left, only Fu Qiuning and Yujie were still here, Fu Qiuning smiled and said: "Old lady, don't worry too much, the saint is because he values the little marquis, so he will often have such a will come out, and it will be fine." A few days ago, you said that you liked the line of the rain steps, and now you are about to send her to marry after the New Year, so this time I specially ordered her to come over and give the old lady a few more lines for backup. ”
"It's hard for you to think about it." Old Taijun Jin sighed, but she didn't care much about the marriage of the rain order, and just said softly: "Since the year when Feng Ju won the Holy Grace, I don't know how many times there have been such things. If it does not harm itself, it is certainly glorious. However, the power of heaven is unpredictable, I am only afraid that he will fall from a high place at any time, maybe people are getting older, the more frightened they are, alas! ”
Fu Qiuning couldn't help but comfort the old lady a few words, and Yu Jiejie knew that at this time, he only needed to concentrate on the network, and he shouldn't interject. In this way, it was not until the evening that Mrs. Jiang and Mrs. Fang came over again, and the crabs were also steamed in the kitchen, and Jin Fengju came back in a hurry.
Seeing that he was fine, Mrs. Jin let out a long breath first. Then he asked him, "What is the purpose of summoning you so urgently today?" ”
Jin Fengju saw that there were people close to him all around, only the Feng family sisters were outsiders, and it was not a confidential matter, and people in the capital would know about it sooner or later. Therefore, he said: "Prince Hong didn't know what he had done, which made the emperor angry, and gave him Liuzhou, Shandong, and asked him to go to Liuzhou from now on, so we went to persuade for a while, but the emperor was resolute, and it seems that there is no room for change in this matter." ”
Although Jin Fengju said it lightly in his mouth, everyone in the room was shocked. But seeing Jin Fengju, he didn't sit down, but said: "Daddy ordered me to go to the study, so I just came to see the ancestor, please rest assured, I will go to the study now." "Say goodbye and go out.
No matter how shocking the news is, everyone knows that it is good news. It's just that even the emperor's own son was relegated to other places, and everyone naturally felt related in their hearts, and after serving Mrs. Jin for dinner, Fu Qiuning and Yujie felt that they were worried on the way back to Fengyalou.
"Tyuning." Suddenly, someone shouted behind her, Fu Qiuning looked back, what a coincidence, Jin Fengju was just behind her, and seeing that there were only her and Yujie at this time, the little marquis smiled and said: "I really caught up in time, and I was afraid that there would only be crab legs left after I came back, and now since your master and servant are also rushing back, there must be steaming fresh crabs to eat." ”
Fu Qiuning and Yu Jie, who said it in one sentence, couldn't help laughing, Jin Fengju saw that Fu Qiuning had a melancholy look on his face, so he made a look, and Yu Jiejie understood, and ran away under the pretext of going back to let people cook crabs. Here Jin Fengju took Fu Qiuning's hand and said softly: "I know that Qiuning is still a little sad in his heart, indeed, even if Prince Hong is completely defeated this time, otherwise, if there is a little leeway, it is impossible for the Holy Lord to let him surrender." Zhenjiang Wangfu has always been in the same breath as Prince Hong, and it is really a loss of both glory and loss. But you also have to think about the good, after all, my mother and Aunt Luo have not been implicated, and at this time, my father must not dare to come over to ask for someone. They have been miserable for half their lives, and now they can finally not go back to that place of pitfalls, wouldn't it be good? ”
"After all, what is the emperor's reason for? Fang moved such a thunderous rage? ”
"I don't know the specifics, but I just listened to the message from Gonggong Li, it seems that Prince Hong told Prince Lie something, which made the old man angry, and this disposition of Bacheng has something to do with this matter. It's just that before that, the contact between Prince Lie and Prince Hong has been quite frequent, and now my brother-in-law is in the limelight, and it is reasonable that they should join forces, and I was careful and nervous for a while, and I repeatedly told my brother-in-law before going to the Western Regions, why did it become a dog eat a dog in a blink of an eye? ”
Fu Qiuning muttered: "It's really incomprehensible. After speaking, he heard Jin Fengju smile and said: "That's it, don't think about it, Prince Hong is irritable and suspicious, and Prince Lie is arrogant, except for acting in front of the emperor, even if he puts on that sincere and sincere face of Corporal Lixian, it is unbelievable." He and Prince Hong are together for profit, and now he has the upper hand, maybe for some reason Prince Hong is jealous between words. It's also possible. ”
Fu Qiuning couldn't help but laugh and said: "Since it is such a straw bag, how can the emperor still use him as a candidate for the prince?" After speaking, Jin Fengju couldn't help laughing, shook his head and said: "You, you don't have to be so ruthless, how can you say that you are also a prince, or is it your family's original backer?" Although there are many shortcomings, but he also has advantages, generous, to win people sparing no effort, when you use it, it is really good for you, but when you don't use it, you will naturally abandon it, and there are also stones in the well. If it weren't for his enthusiasm, your grandfather and father might not have been able to follow him that day. ”
Fu Qiuning said: "They are the prince and the prince, and they naturally have a great effect on Prince Hong, and they have always been courteous when they think about it, so that they are all dead hearted." It's just that after all these years, why don't you look at the fate of those who are not reused? It's really a blind eye. ”
Jin Fengju sighed: "I have done too many wrong things before, and if I want to get out of it, where is it so easy?" It's a wrong step, a wrong step. Yes, don't tell your mother and Aunt Luo about this news for the time being, they are your father's women after all, and it is inevitable that they will feel bad when they hear this news, and your mother's health is not good. ”
Fu Qiuning said: "Do you still need to tell this?" I'm crazy, and now it's time to tell them about it. But...... Alas! Anyway, it's my father and my grandfather, if they haven't done anything heinous and heinous, once the emperor's thunderous wrath descends on them, you can watch the opportunity, if you can persuade them, help persuade a few words.
