Chapter 008: Diao Servant
As soon as I passed the Ruyi Gate, I heard intermittent crying from the depths of the courtyard on the other side of the East Road: "...... There's no place for our mothers in this house! Look at her neck, it turned out to be pinched out by her own hands when she was her own sister, master! You can't tolerate us, you think we're an eyesore, you say! The concubine will definitely take the children away, and she will never block you! β
Madame Fu suddenly stopped.
Fu Zhen said: "Mother don't worry, you can tell me, why did we enter the temple with my father this morning?" β
Mrs. Fu sighed: "I took you into the temple to ask Master Chengkong for a signature." As for your father, he went to the temple to ask for a noble man.
"He has been in the position of the head of the sixth ministry for ten years, and in the past, the border was not settled, and the civil and military ministers were less than going out of the palace, didn't he win the battle last winter? The border pass is set, and the face is also loosened, today the temple is open to pray for blessings, and the powerful gather, he heard that the minister of the Ministry of Servant Tu is also coming, so he wants to go to ask to see.
"But if you say you're asking for a meeting, after all, you're not using my money to pave the way?"
When Mrs. Fu said this, her nails were pinched into the palms of her hands.
Fu really knows. Then he asked, "Did he see him today?" β
Mrs. Fu pondered: "It should not be." Otherwise, there won't be time to pester us. Not only did I not see it, but I was afraid that I had touched a nose of ash! β
"How did you get home? The master has been waiting for you and the eldest girl in the study for a long time! β
As soon as he said this, a mother-in-law with sharp eyebrows and sharp eyes jumped up to Mrs. Fu, and her hurried appearance was not like she had come to see the master's mother, but like she had come to urge the errand man.
Fu Zhen stood still: "Where is it from?" β
In the past, Fu Zhen mostly stayed in the main courtyard and her own courtyard, and Mrs. Fu was precautionary and did not let her contact other people in the house, because now she felt that this woman was familiar, but she couldn't remember who it was.
The mother-in-law looked at her, smiling and not smiling: "The slave is in charge of Aunt Liu's house, the eldest girl is so noble and forgetful, even I don't recognize it." β
There was coldness in Fu Zhen's eyes.
She looked back at Mrs. Fu: "Since my father is in a hurry, then my mother will go over first, and I will come slowly." β
Mrs. Fu took a deep breath, glanced at her, and walked out the door.
Fu Zhen retracted his gaze and looked at the woman: "What's your name?" β
The mother-in-law's chest is straight, and because her head is half a head taller than the stunted Fu Zhen, her eyelids are also drooping: "They all call me Mama Hu, big girl, do you really not recognize me?" β
"I recognize it now." Fu Zhen nodded, and said, "You keep claiming to be me in front of your master, isn't this the rule that you should have as a subordinate?" When you see us, you neither call your wife nor salute, and Aunt Liu doesn't care about disciplining you on weekdays? β
The mother-in-law paused and laughed: "The eldest girl is really joking." The slave maid listened to the people in the hometown say that the children have to be raised cheaply if they are sick and calamitous, and Aunt Liu does not restrain me, this is also for the sake of the girl, you look at your body and bones, and I am too respectful to you, I am afraid that I will break your blessing even moreββ"
"Smack", before the mother-in-law finished speaking, she was slapped firmly on the face!
Fu Zhen slapped his face and pursed the corners of his lips: "Now you open your eyes wide and see clearly again, is my aunt and my body good or bad?" β
The mother-in-law's face was red, and she wanted to theorize with her teeth, Fu Zhen's hand slapped her again!
Now she was stunned, but she even forgot how to breathe!
Fu Zhen stood up straight, squinted at her, and said in a casual voice: "I don't understand what the people in your hometown say, but the rules of our Fu family are that slaves and bullies are trained at best, and sold at worst." If you're not convinced, you can try again. My body may not be good, but I have the strength to fight people! β
The mother-in-law was slapped twice in a row, and even if she was angry, she could only lower her head.
Fu Zhen went down the steps and stopped beside her: "Think about it carefully, how should I talk to my mother when I see it in the future, Aunt Liu didn't teach you the rules, I don't mind teaching you once in the future!"
"Get out!"
Fu Zhen reprimanded her, looked around at the people who had seen from afar, and stepped into the corridor with a cold face.
What's the name of this grandma?
Even a subordinate dares to show off her power in front of Mrs. Fu, the original housewife, if it weren't for Fu Yun's two-faced dogman with a wolf's heart and lungs to support and connive, she would have screwed her head off!
The Fu family originally lived in the ancestral home of Jiangling, and the ancestors were also a big family, and Fu Yun's cousin Fu Ziyu was the branch and the most accomplished branch of their family. Later, because Emperor Zhou overthrew the dynasty, the Fu family on the Jiangling side also experienced some twists and turns, in short, Fu Yun's branch was mediocre, and because there was no backbone in the family, it was reduced to living on a few rice shops at home.
And Mrs. Fu's maiden family is an imperial businessman, but unfortunately her father and heirs withered, and after the eldest son died, only one daughter remained.
The Fu family has a bit of business partner affection with the Ning family, Fu Yun often corresponded in the Ning family when he was young, at first Ning's father looked down on Fu Yun, and at that time there were many children staring at the Ning family's property like a carp crossing the river, especially this daughter was born extremely beautiful, and her temperament was also first-class, so why worry about not finding a golden beetle son-in-law?
The world is unpredictable, because of the war that year, Ning's father was injured on the couch, and the business of the imperial merchant was helplessly unloaded. Father Ning sighed, only to feel that Fu Yun's heart was not grateful, so he married the couple.
Ning's father later recovered from his illness, and it lasted for more than ten years during the change of dynasties. Because he had a family fortune and would be his daughter in the future, he spent money on Fu Yun, who was not a high ranking of Jinshi and had no foundation in the court, to be promoted to the capital and became a Beijing official. also tried every means to let Fu Yun inherit Fu Ziyu's abandoned mansion located in the capital.
By the time Ning's father died of illness ten years ago, Fu Yun was already the head of the Yamen of the Ministry of Rites.
Time is the litmus test in the end!
No, without his father-in-law's support, ten years later, he is still lying on his stomach in the position of the head of the Ministry of Rites!
Without his father-in-law's money, he Fu Yun is nothing!
Fu Zhen arrived at the location of Fu Yun's study with a cold face, and after the two maids under the door saw her, they all walked over quickly: "Big girl, you, do you want to go back to the room?" The old man is furious, I'm afraid that the girl will not be able to resist it! β
Fu Zhen recognized that this was the maid who worked as an errand boy in the study, and they all had family members who worked on errands beside Mrs. Fu, and they were one of the few servants in the Fu family who could still stand on the side of Mrs. Fu and her children.
ββ¦β¦ Do you still want to hit a rake? I saw her choke Sister Rou with my own eyes, you said it was just an accident? β
Before Fu Zhen could speak, Fu Yun's roar had already been heard inside, and there were still small women's cries and talking voices on the side, which were undoubtedly Liu and Fu Rou.
Fu Zhen raised his feet and walked in.
