Chapter Seventy-Eight: Expectation

Fu Zhenqing can't remember how many years the family hasn't spent the New Year together.

So he couldn't refuse Xie's offer.

Although there is little hope, if it does come true, he may be happy.

Since Fu Rudi's travels, he has never come back for the Spring Festival and Mid-Autumn Festival every year, and sometimes he can send a letter to Fu Zhenqing. In Fu Zhenqing's heart, being able to sit and eat a reunion dinner with Fu Rudi on Chinese New Year's Eve was mentally and psychologically comforted and satisfied.

He liked him too much.

But the eldest son was fascinated by the concubine, and now his heart is all on Fu Jiao. Fu Zhenqing loves the house and Wu, and now he doesn't dislike Fu Jiao as much as before.

"How are you going to persuade tomorrow?"

Fu Zhenqing frowned.

He thought that Fu Jiao was in court and could show no mercy to him in the face of King Guangping, and he became more and more uncertain.

Xie Shi smiled dryly: "It's nothing more than moving with emotion and knowing reason." If the four girls still don't want to come back, then I will apologize to her and admit her mistakes. After all, it is a child who grows up at home, and it will not be so ruthless after all. ”

How can a housewife apologize to a concubine? It's just the opposite.

Fu Zhenqing thought so, but did not stop Xie. Right now, in the face of the stubborn and sharp-mouthed four girls, it seems that she can only invite her to a toast.

After drinking Laba porridge, he handed the empty bowl to Xie, "You have been wronged." ”

"Not aggrieved."

Xie Shi smiled softly, "If you can solve problems for the master, the concubine is willing to do anything." ”

Her remarks made Fu Zhenqing very moved, and she felt that the lady who was once empathetic and good at the kitchen was back.

The weather is getting colder and colder.

In the past few days, Xie Shi also felt that he was much less angry than before. I don't know if it's because the plan succeeded, or because of ...... For other reasons.

Through the mahogany window, Xie looked out of the courtyard. The unsightly green potted plants outside the wall are all covered with thick snow, and they have long been unable to see their original appearance.

This proposal won Fu Zhenqing's favor.

But Fu Yan was still uneasy.

Back in Xie's own courtyard, Fu Yan couldn't hold back her words anymore and asked, "Mother, do you think things will really go according to your ideas?" I'm always afraid that something will go wrong halfway. ”

"Shut up."

Xie Shi interrupted her harshly, "Good spirits are not bad spirits, don't say these words." ”

"But mother, wouldn't it be easier for them to investigate the case if you let the eldest brother and Fu Jiao come back?"

Speaking of which, Fu Yan is actually afraid of being found out as the real culprit of the kidnapping case.

Although the blame is on Aunt Chen, the bad reputation has always been passed down from the Fu family. She is afraid that the impact will be too great, and it is not easy to talk about her family affairs.

Knowing his daughter's concerns, Xie only smiled calmly.

She said: "What is my aunt, no matter how long she stays at home, she can't be on the stage." Do you think your father will protect an aunt in front of his official reputation? ”

"Father is measured."

"That's it." Xie Shi put her mind at ease, "The most dangerous place is also the safest. I took the initiative to let them come back to live, even if your eldest brother knew that the family wanted to harm the four girls, he wouldn't think of me. After speaking, she thought about it, and then stared at Fu Yan's eyes and firmly advised: "If Fu Jiao's girl comes back, you must not conflict with her." ”

Fu Yan was so angry when she thought of Fu Jiao's appearance that she was now a villain. People who have been hated since childhood have to be allowed everywhere now, which is really aggrieved to the extreme.

"But I want to teach her a lesson......

"Stupid!"

Xie scolded sharply.

She raised her hand and stroked the scar that had just healed on her forehead, "Now that Princesses Zhaofu want to protect her, your eldest brother is on her side again, and you have no chance of winning a dispute with her." In case she gets angry, maybe some kind of basket will be poked out. Now that you and my mother and daughter are on the cusp of the storm, we will bear with everything, you know? ”

Xie rarely said such things earnestly.

Fu Yan also understood the urgency of the current situation, she gritted her teeth, "Good mother, Fu Jiao is back, I ...... I promise not to mess with her. ”

"Not only can't you mess with her."

Xie narrowed his eyes, "It's best to shake hands with her, greet her everywhere, and get along as a biological sister." Got it? ”

Fu Yan nodded weakly like a deflated ball: "Understood." ”

*

Since the relationship with Xue Zhongliu eased last time, Xue Zhongliu would come to the backyard to find Fu Jiao from time to time.

Sometimes he doesn't say anything, just looking at the delicate and beautiful girl like a porcelain doll, Xue Zhongliu feels comfortable.

Fu Jiao didn't expect that the unlucky disaster star who was once hated by everyone was now friends everywhere in the capital. The prince Zhao Hao is her iron buddy, the famous Xue Zhongliu likes to be with her, and even the notorious unruly princess is her close friend.

On this day, the winter snow was sunny and the sky was bright.

With such a dazzling and slightly warm weather, there will definitely be people who will come to play with her.

Fu Jiao was bored and found a yarrow divination, and after several times, she was signed, which surprised her.

"What? Didn't anyone look for me today? ”

As soon as the words fell, I heard a series of hurried footsteps outside. She pricked up her ears to distinguish it, and immediately called out the person's name, "Sibei, what are you looking for me?" ”

Si Bei pointed outside, dancing with his hands and looking very chaotic, "Fourth Miss, you...... Your mother is looking for you. ”

"My mother? Isn't it dead? ”

"Oh, it's Mrs. Fu!" Si Bei was afraid that he couldn't explain it clearly in a few words. "Your mother."

Fu Jiao suddenly realized.

She pursed her lips, threw the yarrow, and said angrily: "It turned out to be this decaying goods, no wonder it was all signed." ”

Si Bei also knew that their mother and daughter were not compatible, and the mastermind of Fu Jiao's kidnapping had nothing to do with the Fu family. Si Bei naturally stood on Fu Jiao's side and defended her everywhere, "Fourth Miss, the Lord and Xue Zhutou have gone out to handle the case, the prince is in the palace, and there is no one who can do it for you now, so don't go out to see her." I don't think Mrs. Fu is like this, and she doesn't look like An Hao. ”

Fu Jiao sneered, "Okay, she's my 'mother' after all, and she's not a weasel." You tell her to wait in the middle hall, and I'll go right over. ”

She said so, and Sibei is not easy to get involved in other people's family affairs.

He sighed and said, "That...... Fourth Miss, pay attention to yourself, and call me loudly if there is anything. I'm out there. ”

"Thanks."

Being pampered and cared for by everyone, Fu Jiao was very happy, and even when she went to see Xie, her face was filled with a happy and bright smile.

Xie sat upright in the middle hall.

This time, she didn't bring Fu Yan, for fear that Fu Yan hated Fu Jiao too much, couldn't suppress her anger, and ruined her business.

Hearing the sound of footsteps, Xie quickly put down the teacup and got up to stand up.

When I looked back, I saw that the people who came were smiling and smiling, like a crescent moon, just like a fairy in the world. She was wearing a cloak of raccoon dog hair, a red cotton and red plum gauze skirt inside, and a hairpin with a red hairpin inlaid with rubies, and she walked over gracefully.

"I've seen my mother."

Fu Jiao's smile did not decrease.

Xie nodded kindly, "I haven't seen you for a long time, and Jiao'er is getting more and more delicate." ”

"Mother too, still have the charm."

Hsieh: "......"

Sure enough, this girl couldn't say anything good.

Fu Jiao stood still with a smile and looked left and right, only Xie Shi led the personal maid, and Fu Yan, Fu Changjian and others were not seen. She was curious: "Is there something about my mother coming to the Yamen today?" Could it be that the house is restless, and the yamen has come to avenge the grievances? ”

Xie's heart jumped.

She secretly wondered that Fu Jiao had been away from home for a long time, how did she know that their Fu family was at odds with their husband and wife during this time?

Xie Shi would not admit this, she forced out a smile and said, "Jiao'er is too worried, everything is fine at home." This time I came to Fuya not to avenge grievances, but to think that the New Year is approaching, let you and Rudi go home to live, and everyone will have a lively Chinese New Year's Eve dinner on Chinese New Year's Eve. After finishing speaking, Xie raised his eyelids and secretly observed Fu Jiao's expression.

Fu Jiao didn't answer immediately.

Xie Shi was afraid that she would not agree, so he said with a smile: "Jiao'er, my mother used to be a little sorry for you, which made you feel wronged in your heart. After being separated for so long this time, my mother figured out that I owed you a lot before, and my mother will definitely make up for it after you come back. After all, nothing in this world is as good as being reunited with a family. ”

Fu Jiao didn't figure out what Xie wanted to do for a while.

Did you trick her into killing her family?

Fu Jiao was still suspecting that someone else had hired the murderer, but now Xie's strange attitude made her feel that it was Xie who was plotting against her.

In order to confirm this, Fu Jiao planned to go deep into the tiger's den.

She agreed, and smiled, "I know my mother's good intentions, so I'll move back in." As for the elder brother...... He is busy with official business, and the yard at home is small, so I am afraid that he is reluctant to come back. ”

"It's best if you can persuade your eldest brother to come back. If not, I'll persuade you with your father. ”

Xie Shi was excited, he didn't expect it to be so easy.

As long as Fu Jiao is willing to come back, Fu Rudi's side will be fine. She said attentively: "The place where you go home and live will not be small, I asked people to clean your biological mother's yard, and pushed an inkstone pond and set up another ear room, whether you live or your eldest brother live, it is more than enough." ”

Fu Jiao sneered.

In the past, the original owner was in the Fu family, and it was common for him to be underfed and clothed, but as the fourth lady, he did not have a separate yard of his own, but lived in an empty room between Aunt Chen and Aunt Lu. The house is cramped, the decoration is old, and even the toilet has to go to another yard. Because her biological mother, Aunt Rong, died early and was contaminated with ominous rumors, the yard was sealed in the dust for more than ten years. In order to let her go back this time, the Xie family actually renovated Aunt Rong's yard, which was incredible.

"Then it's a trouble for Mother."

Xie Shi smiled: "It should be." It's your mother who owes you too much before, Jiao'er, don't take it to heart. ”

"How can a mother and daughter have an overnight feud. Mother was overwhelmed. ”

Xie gave enough face, and Fu Jiao was also understanding.

She wants to see what good things will appear when she returns to the Fu family.

*

Because the courtyard has not been completely organized, Fu Jiao is still living in the mansion these days.

Fu Rudi dealt with official business day by day, investigating and solving cases, and she was so busy that her feet didn't touch the ground, so she didn't tell Fu Rudi about it.

But Zhao Hao came to her, and Fu Jiao told her that she wanted to go back to Fu's house.

Zhao Hao was stunned.

He said: "That's Longtan Tiger's Den, do you dare to go back alone?" Didn't you say that the human heart is worse than a ghost! ”

"I just want to see what kind of medicine is sold in Xie's gourd."

"Then you don't have to put yourself at risk."

Zhao Hao knew that she was powerful, but she was just a master of catching ghosts. In case Xie has bad intentions, she is not only beaten.

Fu Jiao looked behind him.

Yan Ji is in the capital, and she is tired of being with Zhao Hao every day. Either lay on his back or wrapped around his arms. Zhao Hao is also used to it, the light female ghost has no weight, he carries the talisman given by Fu Jiao, and he is not afraid of being sucked away from the yang energy, one person and one ghost just wander around the capital, inseparable.

"Then you let Yan Ji go back with me."

Fu Jiao consulted Zhao Hao's opinion.

Zhao Hao has no fear of Yan Ji now, as long as she pulls him to martyrdom from time to time, it will be fine. He frowned, a little embarrassed: "When?" Not today, I promised to take Yan Ji to Cuiwei Lake for a cruise. ”

"What kind of boat to cruise in the winter? You're not afraid of the cold. ”

"I'll just wear something thicker." Zhao Hao grabbed his hair and looked at the black-eyed female ghost next to him, "It's mainly Yan Ji, she said that she has been on a boat once in so many years, and she is still with that Song Lang." ”

Zhao Hao didn't know what was going on recently.

The more details I learned about Song Lang from Yan Ji's mouth, the more I hated this past life. What Song Lang took Yan Ji to do, he will follow suit, and he will do it better than Song Lang, so that Yan Ji has a deeper impression of him than Song Lang.

Obviously it was just a female ghost's idea, but Zhao Hao was inexplicably concerned.

Yan Ji didn't speak either.

She looked at Zhao Hao with a faint gaze.

In the past, this look could scare Zhao Hao into urine, but now he is used to it, but he thinks that her lifeless appearance is very distinctive.

Zhao Hao couldn't stand Yan Ji's eyes, for fear that Fu Jiao would ruin the cruise plan.

He said to Fu Jiao: "Anyway, I can't do it today, what is there to discuss when I take Yan Ji on the boat." ”

Fu Jiao resisted the urge to roll her eyes.

It's really a day since I saw a big change in temperament, and "auntie" doesn't matter anymore.

Fu Jiao stopped teasing her, and said truthfully: "Who said it was today, look at you in a hurry." It's still early for the Fu family's yard to be cleaned up, so I'll just tell you in advance. ”

"Oh, that's good."

Zhao Hao breathed a sigh of relief.

When Fu Jiao saw him like this, she sneered.

After laughing, she was a little melancholy.

I don't know if Zhao Hao and Yan Ji have a deep relationship, whether it's a good thing or a bad thing. In case Zhao Hao really fell in, he couldn't tell whether he was Song Lang or the prince of Guangping, would he really be instigated by Yan Ji to be martyred?

Thinking of this, Fu Jiao decided to ask Yan Ji what she thought another day, don't be careful, Zhao Hao will die with her.

The capital ushered in a cold winter, which is getting colder and colder day by day.

For days on end, the sky was a deep lead ash.

Fu Rudi followed the king of Guangping to the suburbs of Beijing to survey the river. Fu Jiao didn't see him for a few days, so she told Sinan about going home to live, and when Fu Rudi came back, Sinan would tell him.

The cold wind blew like a knife.

Fu Jiao packed up her things and stood at the door of the mansion.

There was the sound of cars rolling down the long street.

Fu Jiao glanced at it, sure that it was the carriage that came to pick her up, rubbing her frozen hands, and there was some excitement and anticipation in her heart.
