Yu Jingxiu came back from Yu Ge Lao, and when he entered the door, he saw several brand-new winter clothes on the kang table, the color was something he had never seen, and he couldn't help but look at it twice.

Fan couldn't help but feel upset.

How did I forget to put this away.

Instinctively, she didn't want Yu Jingxiu to know that this was the clothes Fei made for him - she only cared about taking care of Sister Zhen these days, and she hadn't done needlework for Yu Jingxiu herself for a long time.

"Thinking that the weather is getting colder and colder," Fan said with a smile, "I want to bring winter clothes for Xianggong for a few more years." As he spoke, he glanced at Mo Zhen and motioned for her to put away her clothes.

Mo Zhen smiled and went to hug his clothes.

Yu Jingxiu walked over and touched the corner of his clothes, and said, "Your needlework is getting better and better—this needlework is meticulous and smooth." Then he looked up at Fan, "Don't do this again in the future, don't talk about hurting your eyes, you still have to take care of Sister Zhen." What do you do with those needlework mothers at home? "There was tenderness in his eyes.

Mo Zhen was stunned and looked towards Fan.

Fan didn't look at Mo Zhen, and said with a smile: "What did your father-in-law say when he called you to go?" "I've taken the topic away.

In the evening, Yu Jingxiu was working on some letters in the study, and Mo Zhen came to Fan's face: "Grandma, look at this dress......"

"Let's reward someone!" Fan's face was a little gloomy and authentic.

The ink seal left in response.

Two days later, Yu Jingxiu set a day to leave, Mrs. Yu took Shu's mother to see the cage that Fan had prepared for her son, just when Yu Jingxiu came back from the yamen, thinking that Fan had never done these things, and was afraid that his mother would find something wrong, so he smiled and said: "The weather is getting cooler." Fan was afraid that I would get cold, so he specially made me a few winter clothes. ”

Fan was taken aback.

Mrs. Yu already smiled and let out an "oh". Very interested: "What are they made of?" What kind of style to do? ”

Fan's eyes looked at Mo Seal with some trepidation.

Mo Zhen shouted luck in his heart.

Not only are the winter clothes made of good material, but they are also new. Such a good thing should naturally be rewarded to those daughters-in-law and mothers-in-law who treat her respectfully on weekdays! As for who to reward, she hasn't thought about it yet, and Mrs. Yu is in a hurry, so the things haven't been rewarded yet.

She bowed slightly to Fan, signaling that she was okay, and then turned to get the winter clothes made by Aunt Fei.

Mrs. Yu flipped through it, saw that the needle and thread were done quite carefully, and nodded at Fan with a smile: "Thank you for your hard work!" "Very satisfied.

Fan couldn't help but let out a long sigh.

Mo Zhen wiped a cold sweat on the side.

Yu Jingxiu took his mother's arm. smiled: "Mother." Now you should rest assured! ”

Mrs. Yu smiled and patted the back of her son's hand on her arm, didn't look any further, told Yu Jingxiu a few words, and went back to the main house with Shu's mother.

Fan was worried about Fei, and often asked her to do this and that. For a while, Fei Shi was not allowed to be idle for a moment.

Fei Shi couldn't help but complain to Aunt Wu: "...... If I had known this, I wouldn't have bothered to do it. The horse's fart slapped the horse's leg. ”

Aunt Wu laughed when she heard this.

Fei Shi asked her, "You always stay in the house, how can you stay?" What do you do on weekdays to pass the time? ”

"Do some needlework." Aunt Wu said with a smile, "My father married a new wife, and added a younger brother, and my sister married a Xiucai who sat in the museum. ”

Fei Shiqi said: "They are far away in Zhoushan!" ”

Aunt Wu said with a smile: "People often come from Nanjing, and the stewards from the Wu Mansion often come to Kyoto. Just let them carry it for you. ”

Aunt Fei smiled and said, "Mrs. Wu didn't see you outside!" ”

Aunt Wu smiled and didn't make a sound.

The two of them often get together and talk. It's just that Aunt Fei talks a lot, and Aunt Wu always listens to it.

On the day of the Laba Festival, the Wu family sent Laba porridge, and one was designated for Aunt Wu. Aunt Wu had to give some return gifts, so she rummaged through the bottom of the box and found a few purses and a few handkerchiefs for the mother to take back.

The mother smiled and asked her, "Is there anything for Mrs. Zhao?" I also took a piece of it. ”

Aunt Wu was stunned.

The mother smiled: "Madame said that Mrs. Zhao is not at home, and Mrs. Zhao is closed to thank guests." and other idlers are not allowed to see it. Since you can see Mrs. Zhao, Mrs. Zhao must also look at you differently. If there is anything I want to give to Mrs. Zhao, let me bring it back. ”

I'm afraid I want to talk about myself in front of Mrs. Zhao!

Since Mrs. Zhao is not a guest, she has a reason not to see a guest. It was rude for her to rush in last time, how could she cause trouble to Mrs. Zhao again.

"Nope." Aunt Wu smiled, "I have a concubine, how can I give things to Mrs. Zhao?" When you go back, I will say 'thank you' to my wife." With that, he stood up and saw off the guest.

Seeing that Aunt Wu was not polite, the mother went back to the house in amazement and went to pay homage to Mrs. Wu.

Mrs. Wu had a headache and called her mother: "Is there any movement in the Zhao family these days?" ”

The close-fitting mother smiled: "Mrs. Shen is back!" I brought a lot of things to Mrs. Zhao, and I haven't left yet! ”

Mrs. Wu looked happy and said, "Let's go, let's go see Mrs. Zhao." ”

The close-fitting mother smiled and responded "yes", thinking about the wind and snow outside, serving Mrs. Wu put on a cloak of gray squirrel skin, took an oil-paper umbrella, and helped Mrs. Wu to Zhao's house.

Yuechuan was a little helpless, but he had to go to Fu Tingyun.

Fu Tingyun was sitting with her third cousin on the big kang near the window in the inner room talking, and when she heard that Mrs. Wu was coming, she couldn't help but stroke her forehead.

The third cousin smiled and said, "Let's let her in!" Although she likes the short of her parents, but you don't go out at home like this, and you don't know anything about the movement outside. Having her to talk with you saves people from having to inquire about the news. ”

"You don't have to worry about that." Fu Tingyun smiled, "Although I sit in the house, Ah Sen has to talk to me every day. I just don't like Mrs. Wu's peeping eyes. That being said, I invited Mrs. Wu in.

Mrs. Wu reminded her of the old saying that she wanted to wash the dust and catch the wind for her third cousin, and let Fu Tingyun accompany her.

She invited her third cousin, and Fu Tingyun didn't have a good idea. The third cousin smiled heartily: "Okay! Then I'll wait for Madame's post. But it's approaching the end of the year. It's the first time I've been in Kyoto for the New Year, and my family has just arrived at the ministry. Inevitably there is some socialization. When spring blooms, I'll go back to my wife. ”

Mrs. Wu was naturally overjoyed when she heard this, and simply set the day of the tenth day of the new year.

Fu Tingyun sent Mrs. Wu away, and couldn't help but smile and asked the third cousin: "What kind of medicine is sold in my sister's gourd?" ”

The third cousin pursed her lips and smiled, and said: "This is what your third brother-in-law said-Lord Wu is connected to Hao Jianfeng, and Hao Jianfeng is connected to several Sanpin masters who used to follow Shen Ge Lao, and now Qian Ge Lao and Li Ge Lao are not having a good time in the cabinet, the emperor can ask once, can ask twice, and he can't ask everything." Hao Jianfeng and the others didn't want to fight with the emperor, but the qualifications of Qian Ge Lao and Li Ge Lao were too shallow. You can't just turn around right away. I couldn't find a suitable step. If you can get Hao Jianfeng and Mr. Wei to talk, wouldn't it be a ready-made step? Hao Jianfeng and others want to save face, and they are unwilling to give in to Qian Ge Lao and Li Ge Lao, but Mr. Zhen is the emperor's military advisor in the Qiandi, in terms of qualifications. was once a jinshi of the Bingchen branch in the twenty-third year of Xiping, and it is not a shame to be soft in front of Mr. Jing! ”

Fu Tingyun's eyes widened: "These days, the third brother-in-law comes to see the children every once in a while, checks the children's homework, and takes the time to point out Asen, why didn't he say a word in front of me?" He added, "Does the third brother-in-law want to match Hao Jianfeng?" ”

"The ninth brother-in-law is not at home, how can he tell you this?" The third cousin covered her mouth and smiled, and then lowered her voice. "What does your third sister mean, that Hao Jianfeng has been in the ministry for many years and has deep connections, if he can't follow your path, he will definitely find a way to find another way, like this. It's better for you to sell him a face. Befriend him while he is in trouble. He also said that with Hao Jianfeng's ability, even if he couldn't enter the cabinet to worship the prime minister, there would be absolutely no problem in standing firmly in the position of the second grade. Zhao Ling is released, he is still a general, the grain and grass, military salary, and military generals all have to be discussed by the elders, if there is a person like Hao Jianfeng to help, wouldn't it be twice the result with half the effort? ”

Fu Tingyun couldn't help but think about it seriously.

Zhao Ling won a few more battles in Guizhou, and even Mrs. Mo personally came to congratulate her.

When he was in Xuanfu, Zhao Ling had returned to Kyoto many times to negotiate with the people of the military department for the food and military salaries of the Xuanfu General Military Mansion. If there is a person who can speak for Zhao Ling in the court, Zhao Ling can save a lot of trouble. The third brother-in-law's qualifications are too shallow, and it is not easy to be promoted to the third grade in ten years. Counting on the third brother-in-law, I'm afraid that the daylily is cold. If things are as the third brother-in-law said, helping Hao Jianfeng not only relieves the siege of the emperor, but also befriends Hao Jianfeng, it is a good thing to kill two birds with one stone!

"This matter has to be discussed with the Ninth Master." She said cautiously, "The things in the temple are better seen by their men." ”

"Of course." The third cousin said with a smile, "However, it is best to delay it for a long time after the New Year, and I am afraid that something will happen." ”

Fu Tingyun nodded. Thinking that this matter was not achieved overnight, he changed the topic and asked about the third cousin's return to Huayin: "Didn't you say that you would come back in Qiqi?" Why did you come back at this time? Are the five cousins okay? ”

"Alas!" When the third cousin heard this, she smiled bitterly and sighed, "It's good that you didn't go back, if you go back, I'm afraid you will feel embarrassed!" Then he talked about what happened in Huayin, "...... The first seven didn't have it, and for the sake of expenses, the eldest aunt and the fourth aunt quarreled. After seven or seven years, I finally persuaded my mother to move to another courtyard to keep filial piety, regardless of the things in the mansion, but the sixth uncle, who has always been careless, jumped out and said that he wanted to split up...... A few of us who are aunts and grandmothers really don't say it, and we don't say it. I didn't wait for the lights to come on at night, and I went back to my parents' house one after another. But I was dragged by my aunt and asked me to uphold justice. It was my mother who pretended to be sick that allowed me to get out. You say, what is all this? ”

Fu Tingyun was taken aback: "Why did the sixth uncle propose to split the family?" Don't the people of the Shu family care? ”

The Shu family is the maiden family of the sixth aunt, in addition to the brother Shu Ming, there have been several Jinshi in recent years.

The third cousin glanced at Fu Tingyun with a strange expression, and said, "It seems that the uncle of the Shu family wants the sixth uncle and the sixth aunt to split up with the eldest aunt!" ”
