Chapter 70: Mid-Autumn Festival
Jin Fengju took a sip of tea slowly, and asked the brother and sister in a deep voice: "I don't have to worry about your studies, I have your mother to supervise me." I just want to ask you, is there anyone bullying you in today's ethnology? After speaking, seeing Jin Zangfeng Jin Zangjiao shook his head, he smiled and said: "That's good, I'm just afraid that you will go to school on the first day, and some unreasonable little bastards will bully my Feng'er Jiao'er, I will be relieved to hear you say this." After saying that, he ate some edamame and peanuts, then stood up and said, "I'm not here tonight, wait a minute, go to the ancestor, do you still have this thing?" Bring me some if you have one. ”
"What's good? Just take this to fool the old lady, I will blush for your grandson. Fu Qiuning said half-jokingly, but heard Jin Fengju laugh and said: "The ancestor has been rich and noble all his life, what good things have you never seen?" On the contrary, it is these things that will please her. Yes, are the clothes I asked you to make during the Mid-Autumn Festival family banquet ready? Ming'er is not allowed to wear half-new clothes anymore, and I am embarrassed, saying that I am wolf-hearted and left my wife and children aside to fend for myself. ”
Fu Qiuning thought to herself, aren't you? If it weren't for Ming'er and Jiao'er's unexpected appearance, I would have been taken home by this time, right? The children don't know which Zhuangzi you threw on. Whenever she thought of it, Jin Fengju's previous behavior made her teeth cold and cold, so even if the other party was good-looking, gentle and considerate, she was also a lot less gloomy and bright and interesting, Fu Qiuning could never let go of his guard against him, let alone breed a little good feeling.
"It's all done." On the surface, he replied respectfully, and then Yu Niang filled the edamame peanuts in the food box, and Jin Fengju opened the lid to see that it was full of weight. smiled at Fu Qiuning and said, "It's still Yu Niang's generosity, if it's you, it's good to be able to hold half a box." ”
"Eat what we eat, and choreograph me." Fu Qiuning gritted his teeth with a smile and sent Jin Feng to the gate. Watching his back disappear into the afterglow of the setting sun, he turned back. said to Yu Niang: "It's time to make dinner, you go and see what is arranged." There was still a little lace left over from those clothes, and it was not embroidered. I'm going to get out of here. ”
"Yes, slave and maid will go and prepare supper, lace. It's the same when the slave finishes eating. There's not much left anyway. Yu Niang said, and went to the kitchen, where Jin Zangfeng and Jin Zangjiao ate a stomach of edamame peanuts, and obediently went to the study to review their homework. For a while, Evening Wind Xuan quieted down.
In the blink of an eye, it was the Mid-Autumn Festival family banquet, and early in the morning, the old lady sent someone to invite her, and saw that Fu Qiuning and Yu Niang Yujie were busy. Luo Cui smiled and said, "Such a busy? The old lady means to let grandma and brothers and sisters pass now. Since she was so busy, the slave maid went back to the old lady first, and only said that grandma and her brother and sister would arrive in the afternoon. It's just that there can be no longer delays, otherwise the slave is afraid that the old lady will come to invite grandma in person. ”
Fu Qiuning hurriedly thanked Luo Cui. He also said that he would not dare to delay, so Luo Cui left with a smile, and brought a bag of newly made osmanthus cake from Yujie when he left.
Because I had to attend a family banquet in the evening, Yujie only made simple rice at noon and fried autumn cucumber eggs, saying that there was something delicious at night anyway, and it didn't hurt to be hungry. Fu Qiuning hurriedly instructed the two children, don't say this in front of the old lady, you can't afford to lose that person. Then the family changed their clothes, and Fang Shuo went with a smile.
This time, it was Jin Ming waiting outside Yongcui Garden, and when he saw them coming out, he hurriedly smiled and stepped forward, but he heard Jin Zangfeng say: "Jin Ming, we have already walked through it once last time, and we know the way, why does my father still send you over?" ”
Jin Ming glanced at Fu Qiuning, and saw that although her face was indifferent, she was also faintly curious, so he couldn't help but smile and said, "Master said, this...... But when a road idiot goes to a place, it often takes a few times to get acquainted, grandma and young master Miss This is the second time to go to Kangshouyuan, and they may not be familiar with the road, and the master is still in front of the emperor, so the special slave came back early to pick up grandma and young master. ”
Fu Qiuning almost stumbled, thinking to himself, okay, this time everyone was thrown in front of the housekeeper. Just thinking about it, he heard Jin Zangfeng ask, "Imperial front?" Is Daddy in front of the Emperor? So when will I be able to come back? ”
"Then who knows?" Jin Ming grinned with a smile: "The emperor has to speak." However, today is the Mid-Autumn Festival, and the emperor is an old man, so he should not stay with the little marquis for too long. ”
Fu Qiuning's heart moved, and he asked lightly: "Master sent you back, is there a reliable person around him to serve?" Keep him at this time, could it be that the emperor has something important for him to do? Wouldn't it be another errand to run out? She didn't pay attention to this, but since Jin Fengju hinted in his words last time that Prince Hong was probably losing power, she couldn't help but be a little concerned. She guessed that it was probably the residual memory that had feelings for the Zhenjiang Palace, so it affected her.
"How could it not be? There are more powerful people around the master, but there are more slaves who follow the master every day, and when the master goes to the evening breeze Xuan, he takes me more, so grandma doesn't know about other people. ”
Jin Ming smiled, and didn't hide it from Fu Qiuning: "The saint has been happy these days, and he praised Prince Rong for his diligence in handling things before, and he has become more and more stable in the past few years, which is enough to be worthy of a big responsibility." Today, the prince and the little marquis were given to stay in the palace for lunch, and they probably hadn't left the palace at this time. In short, the Sacred Heart is happy. The slave is only afraid that this one will come out, and Prince Rong will still be dragged to his house, and it will be dusk if he comes back. ”
Fu Qiuning nodded, and secretly said in his heart, has the emperor really made up his mind to make Prince Rong the prince? Otherwise, I wouldn't have said the phrase worthy of a great responsibility. Although this is often used for the talents of the pillars, but when it is used for a prince, it has to be pondered. However, doesn't it mean that Prince Lie's limelight has been very strong recently? The favor is even better than that of Prince Rong and Prince Hong of that day, and the emperor is not old and dying, shouldn't he investigate and investigate again?
While thinking about it, I couldn't help but think of the TV series "Yongzheng Dynasty" I watched in modern times, and thought of Emperor Kangxi's second abolition of the crown prince but delayed the establishment of the prince, until his sons were all revealed in front of him, and then he chose Yongzheng, who had been secretly and honestly, as the emperor. She shuddered suddenly, and secretly said that this emperor would not be like Emperor Kangxi, deliberately saying these words, and then coldly watching several sons fight, right?
Thinking about it like this, I can't help but feel that politics is really terrible and dark, but when I think about it, this has nothing to do with myself as a woman in a deep house. People like Jin Fengju shouldn't be unable to see these doorways clearly. Because I was relieved again, I suddenly heard bursts of laughter not far away, and when I looked up, I saw that I had already come to the outside of Kangshou Hospital.
So I hurriedly walked in, only to see that the ladies of the mansion were there. As soon as they saw Fu Qiuning and Jin Zangfeng Jin Zangjiao coming in, a few people surrounded them and pretended to talk affectionately. The old lady called Fu Qiuning in front of him and said with a smile: "When I just lifted the curtain, I saw in a trance that the person outside seemed to be Jin Ming, but Feng Ju came back?" Why don't you let him come in and see me? ”
Fu Qiuning said with a smile: "The little marquis is back, how can you not come to see the ancestor first?" I just didn't come back. Jin Ming came back, and the little marquis sent him back to help the second master first, I heard that the emperor left the master in the palace for a banquet, and Prince Rong. It's impossible to say exactly when you'll be back. She didn't have the face to say that she was a road idiot, so Jin Fengju specially sent someone back to lead the way. If you really say it, it becomes a joke and you don't know how much jealousy you will provoke.
"Oh, the Holy One has left another feast." The old lady nodded, looked out with some emotion, and said softly: "Since his grandfather made the marquis, he is the most saintly favored in our family. It's just that this saint is good, but sometimes, he should also retreat, the icing on the cake and the fire cooking oil, often accidentally burn himself, isn't it a bitter pain? After speaking, he suddenly remembered such a day, it was too unlucky for him to say such things, and he was busy with emotion, and said with a smile: "Old, why do you say these things like this?" It's not uncomfortable. ”
Fu Qiuning smiled and said: "It's not uncomfortable, the ancestor is prepared for danger in times of peace and far-sighted, and the little marquis is because you and your wife educated him like this when he was a child, so he can have today's achievements." After speaking, he glanced around, and then gently and skillfully changed the topic and said, "What about the big partition screen?" I said that I felt that something was missing today, but it turned out that the big screen was gone. ”
Mrs. Jin said with a smile: "Today's family banquet, there are more people than during the Dragon Boat Festival, and this room will inevitably be crowded, so I temporarily asked them to carry it away, but it seems that the house is bright, what do you think?" ”
Fu Qiuning naturally echoed and praised a few words. When she saw Jiang Wanying coming, she went elsewhere, and after talking to several other women in the clan, she sat down in an unnoticeable corner. Jin Zangfeng and Jin Zangjiao are playing outside with the children in the clan.
For a while, I suddenly heard a report from outside: "The little marquis is here." Fu Qiuning raised his eyes and looked out of the door, only to see Jin Fengju wearing an autumn-colored gown, wearing a lake-blue satin cloak outside, and walked in gracefully. The people in the room immediately surrounded them, untying the cloak, and greeting each other, it was really like the stars holding the moon. But seeing Jin Fengju's eyes looking around for something in the crowd, she hurriedly retreated and turned her head to talk to the daughter-in-law of a side branch of the clan. Knowing that he couldn't avoid the other party's gaze, but as long as he didn't shout "Qiu Ning" in front of the public, it was good, and she was really fed up with the taste of all eyes.
Jin Fengju didn't know what was going on with him, and he didn't even realize that his actions were inappropriate, but as soon as he entered the house, he subconsciously began to look for Fu Qiuning, and when he came in from the yard just now, he had already seen the two children playing outside, so he was sure that the other party was here. Sure enough, after looking around twice, I saw that she was talking in the most inconspicuous corner, and I couldn't help but laugh secretly in my heart, but I also knew why Fu Qiuning did this, so I just glanced at it lightly and withdrew my gaze.
Then he heard Mrs. Jin call him over, Jin Feng hurriedly stepped forward, and said with a smile: "The old ancestor is so good today, you are a person who likes to be lively, and now I am happy to see so many people coming." He sat down next to the old lady and took a sip of the tea handed over by Caiyun. (To be continued)
