Mrs. Qi lives next door to Fu Tingxuan, and her husband works as a servant in the treasury of the General Military Mansion. Perhaps, Mrs. Qi is white and fat, like a smiling Maitreya Buddha.

When she entered the door, she smiled and pulled Fu Tingyun's hand: "I bothered you, and I specially sent us a New Year's gift." As he spoke, Chao Tingyun blinked, "Two days ago, someone sent a basket of carrots to our family, and I brought some over, you can try them." ”

Fu Tingyun endured it so he didn't laugh.

Presumably, this carrot is the purpose of filial piety to the relatives.

She thanked her and invited Mrs. Qi to sit down in the hall.

Zheng Sanniang served tea.

Mrs. Qi took a sip and immediately widened her eyes: "Ouch, this is a good Longjing, I'm afraid of a dozen taels of silver for a catty, right?" ”

I bought it last time I was in Jingning.

Fu Tingyun said implicitly: "Mrs. Qi thinks it's delicious." ”

"Delicious, delicious!" Mrs. Qi's small eyes were spinning.

Fu Tingyun understood, and immediately instructed Zheng Sanniang: "Wrap this tea for Mrs. Qi with a catty." ”

"Don't dare to be, don't dare to be." Mrs. Qi excused herself repeatedly, but Fu Tingyun smiled silently.

Speaking of which, there are some things to thank this Mrs. Qi.

A few days after Zhao Ling left, Mrs. Qi came to visit with a few snacks.

She first squinted her small eyes and looked at the house back and forth, and then, like today, took Fu Tingyun's hand and spoke in the hall: "I heard that your family is from Kyoto? ”

Fu Tingyun was slightly stunned.

How can anyone ask people so bluntly?

Although she was displeased, she still said politely: "No, I am from Pingliang County." ”

Mrs. Qi looked disappointed and said, "Then why did the Marquis of Yingchuan personally let the governor lead Zhao Ye to prepare the report?" ”

Fu Tingyun suddenly understood.

It turned out that they were here to find out what they were doing.

The question was so direct. It can be seen that she is bullying her young age. Not sensible.

I just don't know if she came on the orders of Qi Yanmu? Or is it because he likes to listen to people's secrets and talk about people's rights and wrongs?

Thinking of this, she couldn't help but feel a pang in her heart.

If the Qi family and his wife are just curious, then it is better to say, what if Qi Yanmu also came to inquire on the orders of others?

Her mind was racing.

Her grandmother once told her that when you look at things, you should see both the bad and the good. Since someone wants to hear about them, she might as well "tell the truth".

Thinking of this, she felt a little narrow-minded in her heart.

"We have relatives in Kyoto." Fu Tingyun pretended to be vague and said, "That's why the Marquis of Yingchuan asked the governor to take the ninth master to prepare the report." ”

Her parents are in Kyoto, so it's not a lie, is it?

"Really?" Mrs. Qi perked up: "Then what are your relatives doing?" ”

Fu Tingyun said: "Some of them have been prefects, and some have been waiters in the Hanlin Academy, it depends on who the wife is asking?" ”

Mrs. Qi's eyes lit up when she heard this, and she said, "Then why did you come to Zhangye with you?" I've heard that you're an unmarried couple. If you follow like this, don't you care about the people in your family? Why don't you decide on a name first? ”

Fu Tingyun's face was flushed, but he couldn't help answering. Otherwise, tomorrow the rumors will be flying all over the sky. And the words to the Sixteenth Master can't be used here. She had no choice but to make it up: "Our family met a homeless person, and the ninth master was in a hurry to report to the General Military Mansion, so he had to bring me over." In a few days, I'll be sent to Kyoto. ”

Mrs. Qi looked at the little white flowers on her sideburns. Scales fall from one's eyes.

Fu Tingyun secretly thought in his heart.

I can't let you come to my house and see it all over, and I don't know anything about you. That's such a good thing!

"Mrs. Qi, where are you?" She looked at Mrs. Qi with clear eyes, "I see that your skin is as white as snow and as fine as condensed fat, don't you look like a person from Zhangye?" ”

The heart of Mrs. Qi is full of joy. However, with a cup of tea, Mrs. Qi is a distant cousin of Lord Chen, who is guarding the town, because of the sponsorship of General Hu Shen, Qi can inquire about the errand in the treasury clearly.

Because the two talked happily, Mrs. Qi almost wanted to introduce Fu Tingyun as a confidant, and came to visit the house when there was nothing to do.

Occasionally, Fu Tingyun was teaching Ah Sen to read, and Fu Tingyun would ask Mrs. Qi to wait for a while. After coming out, she said apologetically: "I'm halfway through the homework, so it's not good to give up halfway and make Mrs. Qi wait for a long time." ”

Mrs. Qi's expression was strange: "The girl can still read and write!" ”

Fu Tingyun said humbly: "That is, to talk about "Thousand Poems", the rest, but it is not enough." ”

When Mrs. Qi looked at her again, she felt a little more solemn.

Fu Tingyun breathed a sigh of relief. Let Zheng San go out and inquire to see if they are talking about their family's affairs? What are you talking about?

Zheng San came back with a smile.

"People outside are saying that there are people in our family in the court, and the ninth master went to Zhuang Langwei just to get promoted because he was tired of military merits. He also said that our family didn't spend a penny on this houseguard, and it was given by the Xining Wei in order to tie up the ninth master, saying that the girl was born in everyone, and the girl was born in everyone, not only dignified and chaste, and the female red needle is proficient in everything, but also good at poetry, chess, calligraphy and painting, and eight-strand articles. ”

Fu Tingyun broke out in a cold sweat when he heard this, and understood the power of rumors.

Mrs. Qi's tea has not been drunk yet, and Zheng Sanniang's tea has been delivered. Mrs. Qi no longer postponed, took the tea with a smile, chatted a few words, and Mrs. Qi got up to say goodbye.

Fu Tingyun sent Mrs. Qi to the door.

A carriage sped past the doorway, and the snow splashed on Mrs. Qi's skirt.

Mrs. Qi trembled with anger, and immediately pointed to the carriageway: "Where is the boy who doesn't have long eyes, hurry to the funeral!" ”

It's almost the New Year, and this sentence is a little meaner.

The curtain of the car was immediately raised, revealing a pretty face that was angry and angry: "Who is it?" A face full of crumbs! ”

A few people took a look.

Then they were all stunned.

In the carriage sat Xuemei, the personal maid of Mo Yi's concubine Lu.

Not long after Mrs. Qi visited Fu Tingyun, the Lu family came to visit, and it was this Xuemei who served her personally.

She was staring at Fu Tingyun with a pair of eyes without blinking. It was inexplicable to see Fu Tingyun. Very impressive.

"It turned out to be Miss Fu." Xuemei was helped out of the carriage by a mother-in-law who followed the car, and bent her knees to Fu Tingyun and blessed her, "I don't know if the girl is here, I was offended just now, and I ask the girl not to take it to heart." His tone and figure were very soft, but he didn't look at Mrs. Qi.

Mrs. Qi was so angry that her face turned blue.

Xuemei just smiled and greeted Fu Tingyun: "When I went out just now, my aunt also said that the girl gave rice cakes, which were as white as frost, not sticky or greasy. Very delicious. He also asked me to watch the girl have a free day, and taught me to do it, and when I was hungry, I would do some. ”

In Fu Tingyun's New Year's ceremony, there are ten catties of rice cakes.

But this rice cake was bought on the street, not made by her.

It's just that this posture at the moment is really not easy to tell the truth.

She replied vaguely, Xuemei only said that it was almost the Spring Festival, thinking that she was busy and would come back to visit another day. And then walked away.

Mrs. Qi's whole body trembled, and after a while, she gritted her teeth and said "puff" disdainfully, and said fiercely: "What aunt's wife, but I invited two tables of wine in Zhangye." Whether you can enter the door of the Mo family depends on whether Mrs. Mo nods or not, and whether the old lady of the Mo family can open it. Don't step on the empty foot when the time comes, and you won't even be able to compete for a place. ”

It was the first time Fu Tingyun had heard this kind of thing, and she was secretly a little surprised, let alone talking about people's strengths and weaknesses. Smiled and asked Mrs. Qi if it mattered? Do you want to go to her house and change into a dress?

Mrs. Qi's face was a little better, thanked Fu Tingyun, and went back to her home.

Fu Tingyun shook his head and entered the house.

Wang Yi's wife sent someone to send a post.

"On the fifth day of the new year, our wife invited a spring guest." Mrs. Wang's personal mother Fu Tingyun is still seeing it for the first time, before she sent someone to send a New Year's gift to the Wang family, and the Wang family returned the gift, "Please be sure to go to the lively and lively girl." ”

Fu Tingyun accepted the post: "Thank you Mrs. It's just that I have filial piety, and I ask my wife for forgiveness. Wait for the suit. I went to thank Madame personally. ”

Mrs. Wang's close mother was not reluctant, smiled and said something like "it was our wife's negligence" and got up to leave.

Fu Tingyun instructed Zheng Sanniang to send her out.

Zheng Sanniang is a smart and clever person, Zheng San has seen the world, Fu Tingyun taught carefully, and she quickly learned some daily etiquette.

She accompanied Mrs. Wang's personal mother out of the hall, took out a purse from her sleeve and handed it to Mrs. Wang's personal mother with a smile: "Mom has worked hard, this is for my mother to drink tea!" ”

Mrs. Wang's personal mother thanked her with a smile, took it generously, and left the back street in a carriage.

Fu Tingyun quickly put this matter behind him, and Zheng Sanniang and they sacrificed to the shrine god and cleaned the courtyard, because they didn't know the situation in Zhao Ling's house, she was a woman, and it was not easy to arrange the worship of the ancestors, so she hung the statues of the gods of the heavens from the temple in the middle hall, bought a three-legged tripod that imitated bronze, and came back with a basket of incense sticks thick with thick arms, and prepared a big thirty worship, and bought twelve big red lanterns to hang under the gate and eaves.

Ah Sen ran in happily: "Girl, girl, the ninth master is back." ”

"Really!" Fu Tingyun was overjoyed, dropped the half-pasted window grille and ran out.

Someone walked in with a horse.

Tall, tall and tall, steady pace...... Fu Tingyun was suddenly a little scared, his steps became slower and slower, and he stopped in the middle of the courtyard.

Clear eyes fell on her steadily.

"I'm back!" He said softly, and a smile overflowed from his eyes, staining his face.

Fu Tingyun looked Zhao Ling up and down.

He was wearing a dark woolen robe, covered with a royal blue cotton coat, black cowhide boots on his feet, and a horsewhip in his hand.

Fu Tingyun's eyes suddenly became astringent and his nose was sour.

This bastard, she worries about him day and night at home, he is good, he eats well, dresses well, and a fluttering "I'm back" will wipe out all those days that make her frightened and victimized......

She couldn't help biting the corner of her lip tightly, and said lightly, "The ninth master is back", and then instructed Ah Sen, "Quickly lead the horse to the stable!" ”

The voice is calm and rational.

Zhao Ling looked puzzled and stood on the spot.
