3 Chapter 3
The old lady celebrated her sixtieth birthday, and Feng Juncheng was also relieved.
He buried himself in the book case for several days, and I don't know which one of them told his wife about his entry and exit from the gambling house, causing him to be counted down by his own mother, and coerced him to not go out for ten days, otherwise he would inform Master Feng of his private departure.
It's just that he doesn't know if he is playful, if Master Feng knows, he will definitely be disappointed in him.
As soon as he is disappointed, he will be said to be inferior to his eldest brother.
The Feng family also had a big brother earlier, who was quick and clear-minded, and it would not be an exaggeration to say that he was the reincarnation of a fairy child.
It's a pity that the eldest brother died of illness when he was six years old, and Feng Juncheng came into the world in the same year, naughty and active, completely different from the eldest brother, but because of the special birth node, he was placed high hopes on his family, and he was extremely strict with him.
Feng Juncheng used to feel unfair, but then he faded away, and he couldn't hide from this family, even if he was punished by the old man, there were also ladies and old ladies to help him speak.
During the days of Feng Juncheng's "retreat", he went to the old lady every day to say goodbye, and today's "exit" was no exception, so he simply had lunch there.
The old lady beckoned Feng Juncheng, who had eaten, to sit down, handed him an orange, and joked with a smile, "You have locked yourself in Fenglai Pavilion these days and studied hard, but you have not fallen for a day when you have been asking for peace from me, I know that you are seizing the opportunity to come out to breathe, right?" ”
"Then the old ancestor is wrong to blame me." Feng Juncheng broke the orange peel and revealed a tempting fragrance, "My grandson comes to see you because I miss you, and I come every day to worry about you, where can't I go in this house if I want to breathe?" ”
Of course, the old lady was happy when she heard this, and said with a smile: "What I said is that I am also worried about you, tomorrow I will have a birthday, and your sister will come back, and the two of you have not seen each other for a few days, do you miss her?" ”
Feng Juncheng swallowed the sweet juice in his mouth, shook his head and said: "I don't dare to think about her, when I was a child, she always bullied me to be shorter than her, and then I was finally taller than her, but she got married, I guess she is calculating, knowing that one day she will leave home, she can count me hard." ”
The old lady leaned back and leaned back while holding the dragon's head crutches, "After you said it, it seems that it is true, Zhiyu always loves to be with you after the marriage, and I also said that the two of you are like a pair of dragon and phoenix fetuses, not like half-brothers at all." ”
Feng Juncheng's second sister Feng Zhiyu is the daughter of the Feng family, and she has been in the house of the Dong family since she was a child, so the dowry and wedding ceremonies are all purchased according to the specifications of the concubine, and she is married to the second son of the long house of Ying Tianfu Honglu Siqing, and she is not inferior to the eldest daughter of the long house of other people's families.
can have such treatment, firstly, because Feng Zhiyu is lively and sensible by nature, and is quite loved by the whole family, and secondly, because of the gentleness and pettiness of her biological mother Bai, who has always been commensurate with Dong's sisters, there is no suspicion.
Feng Fu is a model of Jiangning in the eyes of outsiders, his parents are harmonious and loving, and his children are filial and promising.
While talking, Feng Qiu came in from outside with tea, Feng Juncheng remembered something when he saw her, ate the last petal of orange, rubbed his palms together, Qingjun's face was expressionless, and he was already wandering out of the world.
However, he still drank two cups of tea, and stayed with him for a while before getting up to say goodbye to his grandmother, and when he was about to go out, he called Fengqiu and Wangchun to stop.
"Two sisters."
The two eldest girls are above Feng Juncheng in age, and they are self-combing girls who have never married and guarded the old lady all their lives, and they are a little old when they talk to him, "Young master, what do you command?" ”
Feng Juncheng thought for a while, waved his hand and said, "It's nothing, I forgot what to say when the words came to my lips." ”
Wangchun smiled at him, "It's definitely for the old lady's birthday tomorrow, what special arrangements do you have for the two of us to cooperate with you?" ”
Feng Juncheng bowed his head, "Yes, the two sisters must keep a secret for me." ”
Temporarily said this and this way, Feng Juncheng shook his head as he walked back, he didn't know what was wrong with him, he didn't dare to have the idea that he shouldn't have, but that night......
That night......
Feng Juncheng couldn't help but stand still, recalling that night when the candles were dim, and he was drunk late at night, he was dizzy, like a drunken dream, and saw the beauty reclining, looking out from behind the curtain......
A breeze blew in his face, and as soon as he looked up, the sparrows on the branches jumped around and mocked him for dreaming, Feng Juncheng frowned and sighed lightly, patted his head, and walked anxiously through the moon cave door with his back hand.
A few walls away, another shabby family.
The beauty was slapping the table and asking Zhao Qi for sin, "Brother Qi, have you touched the ten-year-old flower carving in my backyard?" ”
Zhao Qi just got out of the treasure game, and his spirit was full of energy, "I opened it and tasted it." If you don't say that I forgot, tomorrow you bring two altars of flower carvings to the south gate of Fengfu, their old lady will have a birthday, and our neighbors should also give some small gifts. ”
Qing'e twisted her eyebrows and pinched her waist, I don't know what trick he is playing, "That wine Feng Mansion can't look down on, but it's my half-moon Jinyi, people come to buy it by two, you are good, one altar and one altar will be sent out." It doesn't matter who you want to make friends with outside, it doesn't matter to me, what do you do to move the stuff in my shop. ”
Zhao Qi also straightened his face, "That's not what I said, then Feng Mansion is our neighbor, his old lady is sixty years old, don't say our family, there is no one on this street who is not careful." You're right, the Feng family doesn't look down on this wine, but in the final analysis, it's our heart, can't the silver given by Master Cheng still buy this jar of wine? ”
He always has a point, Qing'e has to look at him with horizontal eyebrows.
Zhao Qi said again: "Let the family know, but I think your brother and I are stingy." ”
"People don't have time to care about you."
"This is all for the future of the two of us, you believe me, this wine will not be given away for you."
Qing'e frowned puzzled, "In the past, you and I cheated for a bite to eat, but now that we have our own livelihood, why do we have to think about this and that?" ”
"Hey, this is all normal communication, how can it be called calculation." Zhao Qi brushed it over, and lifted the curtain a little impatiently and entered the backyard, "You must remember to go tomorrow." ”
After sitting in dementia for a moment, Qing'e got up and raised the door panel to half-cover the pavement.
Looking out at the crack in the slender door, not far away is the small river that Qin Huai separated, and you can hear women pounding clothes, children frolicking, and I stayed up until twenty and was not accepted by the king of Hades, and I thought about nothing more than such a simple life.
In the past 20 years, she has done a lot of evil, even if she washes her hands and turns back, she can't escape this punishment that she can't ask for.
The sun and the moon alternated, and this came to the birthday of Old Mrs. Feng, and Qing'e knocked on the corner door of Feng's mansion before dawn.
The person who answered the door was a young girl, thinking that the food delivery was coming, but when she opened the door, it was a beautiful woman who was selling wine at the entrance of the alley.
The beautiful woman wore a blue scarf today, her face was adorned with rouge, and her eyes were moist and full of anticipation, making it difficult to speak harshly to her.
The little girl looked at her carefully, for fear of missing any beauty, "You... Who are you looking for? ”
Qing'e smiled on her face, and said shallowly: "I'm looking for the two sisters Wangchun and Fengqiu, and I'm bothering you to pass on the word." After that, she took out two copper coins from her sleeve and handed them to the little girl, "Girl, please take this, and change some colored threads." ”
The little girl rolled her eyes, accepted the copper plate, and asked Qing'e to wait outside the door, and she went to call people.
After waiting for about half a pillar of incense, Fengqiu came alone, and when she didn't see Wangchun, she helped the door to look Qing'e up and down, and her eyes stayed on the bamboo basket in the crook of her arm.
"Qing'e, why are you here?"
Fengqiu and Qing'e are quite familiar, the two are close in age, and they also have to talk in the wine shop, Qing'e smiled, uncovered the cloth on the bamboo basket, and there were two jars of flower carving wine lying in the basket.
"Since yesterday, your mansion has been particularly lively, as if you are preparing for a big event, and I only know that today is the birthday of the old lady in the house. In autumn, you take this wine in, it's not that I cling to the powerful, but I live really close, and I can't help but say that I don't want to give something if you know what day it is today. ”
Feng Qiu heard her intention, and immediately smiled, "You really have a heart, but the guests who came today are only afraid that they will step on the threshold of the Feng Mansion, and those high-ranking officials and nobles may not have time to see it in person, and you still run this trip." ”
"It's close and convenient." Qing'e suddenly lowered her voice, leaned in and smiled: "If the old lady forgets this wine, you will drink it with Wangchun, it has been aged for ten years, it is a good wine." ”
"Hey, you're really willing, I'll dispose of such a good wine." Feng Qiu hurriedly straightened his waist and took the two wine jars steadily, "Don't worry, I will definitely send it to the old lady, at least let her old man taste it." ”
Qing'e smiled and nodded, "I won't bother you if you're busy today, come to my shop another day to eat and drink." ”
"Okay, then you can go back, and we'll see you another day."
The black throttle slowly closed, and Qing'e's smiling face collapsed, kicking a stone brick raised under her feet, and carrying the empty basket back to the shop.
Before it opened, it cost a few taels of silver.
"Brother Qi, I'm back." Qing'e stepped on the stepping stone and crossed the threshold, "Brother Qi? ”
After shouting twice and no one came, she put down the basket and walked quickly into the courtyard, and saw that his house was empty, and the clothes that had been thrown away were also gone, and Zhao Qiren was no longer at home, so he must have gone to the gambling house.
She hurriedly ran to her house and opened the drawer to check, and saw that he had not touched the money purchased in the store, so she let go of her high heart.
When he walked out of the house, he caught a glimpse of a few pieces of firewood at the base of the wall, and remembered that he hadn't chopped firewood for a while, and how many days could this pitiful few pieces of firewood last?
Thinking of the days that might end up like this in the future, Qing'e frowned.
The sad face of the gift-giver is full of sorrow, and the smile of the gift-receiving is groaning.
Feng Qiuti walked back along the two jars of wine, passing through the small garden, and happened to see Feng Juncheng taking Wang Ban to ask the old lady for good morning.
Today's mansion is holding a big event, and he is dressed more ceremoniously, I don't know where Xiuyun turned out Su Fang's satin round-necked robe, and the chest is embroidered with vivid bird branches and flowers, which is very lively. He said that the clothes were chattering when he saw them, and he had a good news look, and he immediately changed them on.
When Feng Qiu saw him, he quipped, "The young master doesn't wear the usual plain colors today, but wears red instead, and the ancestor will definitely praise you for your good looks when he sees it." ”
Feng Juncheng smiled and dusted off the folds of his arm, and when he saw the two jars of wine in her hand, he asked, "Sister went out to drink?" ”
"No, it's Qing'e, oh, it's the wine shop at the entrance of the alley that sent two jars of wine to celebrate the old lady's birthday. She is really, this jar of wine is nothing to us, but it is a large expense for her, so she sent it like this, and did not try to ask the old lady to say goodbye, put down her things and left. ”
Feng Qiu said to herself, not paying attention to the performance of her little master at all.
His bright eyes didn't take his eyes off the wine jar again, he thought he was going to say something, his lips were slightly pursed, and he just followed Fengqiu to read her name all over again.
"Qing'e..."
Qing'e ......
Green grassland, winding paths lead to secluded forests.
I saw the delicate lady and fell asleep.
Feng Juncheng returned to his senses, "I will store this wine first, and then take it out to eat it when the chrysanthemum crab is fat, so as to live up to the good intentions of the sister-in-law of the Zhao family." ”
Behind him was a swaying Qiong branch, which lined his smiling eyes, "Don't forget to call me then." ”
