Chapter 199: The Return
Jiang Wanying didn't see any jealousy and resentment on the surface at this time, but of course it was another matter in her heart. Because of the smile on his face, he said: "In this case, I will let people go to Nafu to clean up the house and install utensils and other things, it just so happens that there is also a garden behind the house, and the pavilions and pavilions are all complete, and it is safest to practice there." The people who serve and the money and food should also be prepared, and yes, there will be a kitchen over there......"
As she speaks, others offer advice and make a few suggestions from time to time. Fu Qiuning only felt that her ears were buzzing endlessly, and the noise made her head hurt, but looking at those women, they were all red. She smiled bitterly in her heart, and sure enough, it was the power of ten women who had competed against five hundred ducks. It was easy to wait until Jiang Wanying went out to arrange all kinds of things, and then she felt that her ears had calmed down.
"Why don't you follow Wan Yatou to take a look? In the end, you have been with those Kabuki for a long time, and once something happens, you still know something. Otherwise, I'm afraid that something will be missed. ”
Mrs. Jiang suddenly spoke, which made Fu Qiuning stunned, thinking strangely, can you still feel that your niece is not doing well? But he smiled faintly and said: "Too much worry, Sister Wan is used to doing these things, there must be rules." I can only sing, and I can make a mess of these chores. As soon as she said this, Mrs. Jiang ironed in her heart, and couldn't help but look at Fu Qiuning a few more times, secretly thinking that she hated her on weekdays, but she had never seen it seriously, but now she looked at it, although she didn't have any appearance, she was dignified, and her body was full of that virtuous charm, but her body was inevitably thinner, and she was afraid that it would not be easy to give birth.
As soon as she thought of this, she couldn't help but say "Hi" in her heart, it was not good to have a child and raise her, she has now taken all the soul of Fengju, if she has a son and a half daughter, will Wanying still have a foothold in this family? What's more, she has four children under her knees, and now she has no biological children, so she can do her best, if she has, she doesn't know where to put those four children, right?
Because he thought silently, after a while, he heard that the musicians and singers and dancers in the palace had arrived. Fu Qiuning hurriedly went out, Jiang Wanying also came out of the mansion and welcomed these people to the backyard of the new mansion together, arranged a place to live, and the maids sent bedding one after another. Two more eunuchs came over, saying that there was no need to worry about money and food from the Yasukuni Mansion, and that there were three or five cooks transferred from the palace.
Men and women are guarded, fortunately, those male musicians have their own guards and eunuchs sent from the palace and officials to supervise, and female musicians and singing and dancing girls also have female officials in the palace, and the residences of the two are also separated, so there is nothing to worry about. Because the Yasukuni Mansion is also a wealthy family, those female officials were very polite, and after the arrangements were made, they went to see Mrs. Jin. When it was all over, it was past noon.
Fu Qiuning returned to Fengya Building, lunch time had passed, Aunt Luo and Aunt Yu knew that she had been busy and had not yet eaten, so they ordered someone to go to the small kitchen to cook it, Fu Qiuning waved his hand and said: "I'm sleepy, I don't want to eat anything, if you have any snacks, just eat a few pieces." As soon as the words fell, Jian Feng Yujie hurriedly went out, and after a while, he had already brought the newly made chicken fat rolls, sugar cakes, mountain date cakes and other snacks from the small kitchen.
After eating snacks and taking a full nap, Fu Qiuning felt a little more energetic, and knew that he would start to be busy again from the second day. But if you think about it, you can sing your favorite opera and go back to your old job, which is also very good, and it is also sweet.
Since these singing and dancing girls have set up camp in the Jinfu next to them, there are more people coming and going every day, and there are often maids in each room who use such and such excuses to go to Fu Qiuning, rub a few words of drama to listen to, and show off to the sisters when they come back.
In the blink of an eye, more than two months have passed, and although the weather is still hot, after an autumn rain, it is much cooler. It's just that this autumn rain is not over, and there are only a few sections left in the original rehearsal of this play, but it can't be finished. The queen mother in the palace was so anxious that she just wanted to listen to the play, but she couldn't do it, so she had to be a little restless.
"How bad is your play now? But is it all over? ”
When I got up this morning, it was autumn rain, Fu Qiuning knew that she was calculating the progress, and she didn't need to be in a hurry, so she sent the two girls to Nafu to say something, so that they could still practice by themselves, or rest when they were tired. She was gossiping with Aunt Luo and Aunt Yu at home.
"There are only a few words left horizontally and vertically, so don't worry." Fu Qiuning drank tea with a smile, looked at the autumn rain outside, and muttered: "Master has been gone for three months, and he originally only said that he would come back in a month, but I don't know what happened, and he has been entangled until now." After she finished speaking, Yu's Luo clan also became worried, and only said that Jin Fengju was in distress in Jiangnan before, and this time it was better not to repeat the mistakes of the past.
As he was talking, he heard the sound of someone talking in the courtyard, Fu Qiuning felt strange in his heart, secretly said that on such a rainy day, he didn't even need to go to the room to ask for peace, everyone was just doing needlework in the boudoir, why did someone still come? So he asked, "Who is speaking in the courtyard?" ”
"Back to grandma, it's Sister Luocui who is here." After the little maid who opened the curtain outside the door finished reporting, she saw that Luo Cui was gone, but she took off her clogs under the porch, and said with joy on her face: "Grandma and the two aunts should go to the room." ”
"What's the matter? But the princess is coming? Fu Qiuning was puzzled in her heart, secretly saying that Luo Cui's happy appearance must be a good thing, otherwise she would not be happy like this. Because he got up and asked Yujie to find clothes to change for himself, but he heard Luo Cui purse his lips and smile: "It's not the princess who is coming, the princess is here, just like this?" I don't know how to prepare. ”
"This is nonsense, last time the princess stayed at home for a few days, but I didn't see how to prepare." Fu Qiuning finished speaking with a smile, but saw Luo Cui also smiled: "What is this?" Last time, the princess came back in a negative mood, and she didn't follow the rules in the first place, otherwise what do you think the old lady is worried about? If the real princess returns to Ningning, won't it take more than a month to prepare? That's the prince, it's not much worse than the emperor, only the wife goes to the palace on weekdays, how can the princess come back casually? Okay, grandma hurry up and clean up, and you will know what a good thing is when you go to the horizontal and vertical. ”
"You're a ghost." Fu Qiuning was helpless, at this time, Luo Cui saw that the Yu family and the Luo family were unmoved, and wanted to urge them to think about it, but it was okay, they were probably unwilling to go to the room because of their identity, which was also human nature, so they didn't mention it again. Aunt Luo and Aunt Yu just thought that Luo Cui was casually invited, taking care of the face of the two of them, and the two of them lived here, how could they meddle in the affairs of other people's houses? Therefore, I was happy to pretend that I didn't hear what I just said.
After Fu Qiuning finished cleaning up here, Yujie held up an oil-paper umbrella for her, but Fu Qiuning took it away, and said: "You hold the umbrella yourself, I don't need you to support it for me." After speaking, she looked at the yellow oilcloth umbrella surface, and sighed: "This umbrella is sturdy, but ugly, our father promised me that day, saying that he would go to Jiangnan to buy me that kind of pink and willow green oil-paper umbrella, but he is too busy, where is the time to think about this?" I can't bother him with such a trivial idea. ”
At this time, the three of them had already left Fengya Building, and they saw Luo Cui and said in surprise: "It turned out to be the blessing of Grandma?" It's weird, let's just say why I suddenly remembered to bring that ······ to everyone." Before he finished speaking, he realized that he was almost speechless, and he was busy not speaking. But seeing Qiu Ning looking at her suspiciously, a hint of surprise suddenly flashed on her face, and she smiled: "But the little marquis is back?" He ······ Did he buy an oil-paper umbrella? How else would you say that? ”
Luo Cui's shoulders collapsed in frustration, knowing that she couldn't hide it anymore, so she had to smile and say, "Isn't it just that grandma is thinking about it day and night?" In addition to the specialties of the Western Regions, I also brought two boxes of oil-paper umbrellas, and as soon as I took them out, everyone loved those patterns so much. Immediately let the second wife and aunt and grandmother grab a few handfuls, grandma can hurry up, otherwise I'm afraid that when you arrive, there will be no scum left. ”
When Fu Qiuning heard that Jin Feng was coming back, his heart couldn't help but "plop" and jump, and his steps became brisk. Suddenly, I heard the rain steps behind him giggle and said, "Sister, what she said is wrong, how can you let you turn over the things that my grandfather gave to my grandmother?" It must be to personally send Fengyalou to ······" Before he finished speaking, he was glared at by Fu Qiuning fiercely, and said, "What nonsense?" Is that kind of person? ”
Luo Cui smiled: "Grandma doesn't need to panic, I'm afraid that the master really arranged it like this." Don't worry, even if the rain steps leak out, I will definitely keep it a secret for my grandmother and prevent them from taking grandma's things. While talking and laughing, Qiu Ning gritted her teeth in anger, but the road was slippery in the rain, and there was no way to chase her. Seeing that she was out of the garden, she couldn't help but speed up her pace.
When I came to Kangshou Temple, the rain gradually became heavier, but the sound of the rain could not hide the laughter coming from the house. When the maids in the corridor saw Fu Qiuning coming, they hurriedly opened the curtains and rushed to report inside.
took off his clothes and clogs under the porch, and as soon as he walked in, Fu Qiuning saw the figure sitting next to Mrs. Jin, and couldn't help but feel hot in his heart. It's just that although his heart is agitated, his face is not revealed at all, and he still sees Mrs. Jin and Mrs. Jiang calmly and dignifiedly.
Jin Lao Taijun knew that Jin Fengju must be tired all the way, so he said: "Fengju is only afraid that he is tired, Qiu Ning, you take him back, arrange for him to bathe and eat, and see if he has been running outside for two months, he has lost weight like this, these days the small kitchen will send more meat, eggs, fish and shrimp over, and I still have a few ginseng here......"
The old lady didn't wait for him to finish speaking, Jin Fengju smiled and said, "Where do I still use the autumn wind of the old ancestor?" When I just went to the palace to reply to the decree, I had already rewarded the supplements, and I had to send some to the ancestors when I turned around. Because he stood up and said goodbye to Mrs. Jin, he went out, and Fu Qiuning, Jiang Wanying, Huo Shi and others also hurriedly followed. He said to his wives and concubines: "I have ordered you to send everything to the courtyards, if you don't feel tired, go to Fengyalou to sit together." I'm not here these days, thank you for your hard work. ”
