59 Chapter 59
Zeng Tingguang has always taken good care of himself in Shuntian Mansion, and listening to the county lord's tone, Feng Juncheng also roughly understands their good intentions. Therefore, the first thing he did when he returned to Beijing was to go to Changzai, and the second thing was to dispel Zeng Tingguang's idea of taking care of his family.
With Zeng Tingguang's personality, he has always only fought for the first, and when he is a matchmaker, he only guarantees one matchmaker. Feng Juncheng was a flawless brocade in his eyes at first, and the satin made his nails hook a strand of silk, and he could no longer hold it, Zeng Tingguang naturally had to give up.
Zeng Tingguang could be described as heartbroken, "Before you go, I told you in every possible way, don't do that stupid thing that falls into people's hands, this is good, what did you think at the beginning?" She gave birth to your daughter, and you still dare to try her case? ”
Feng Juncheng didn't know where to start after hearing it, and he would be tired of explaining it over and over again, so he had to bear the blame, "It's a long story, but the case was closed in the end, and the final verdict was not in my hands." Even if someone wants to use this as an excuse, I will bear the consequences. ”
"Confused! You can go to the governor of Zhejiang because Long Live Ye thinks you have a lot to do, but you don't know self-love, despise your reputation, and tell the truth. In the end, Zeng Tingguang shook his head, "You are so self-conscious, this kind of thing is not good." ”
Feng Juncheng hugged Ru Ru, who was gnawing on duck legs, with one hand to greet him, and after Zeng Tingguang left, he turned over the plate of sauce duck again without believing it, and there was really only one leg.
Ru Ru licked the fragrant sauce on her mouth, which was so beautiful, dancing in Feng Juncheng's arms.
A few days after arriving in Beijing, Feng Juncheng sent a letter to his family, and it was more than a month for the letter to be delivered, and Master Feng's anger should have almost disappeared by then.
He planned to write to Jiang Zhiheng in two days, asking him how he was doing in Yingtianfu Guozijian, but he got the news of Jiang Zhiheng first.
It is for the spring of the beginning of next year, and the Tianfu Guozi Supervisor submitted a directory of the Ministry of Officials, recording the Taixue students who applied for the spring examination.
On the other side of the vast heaven and earth, in Yingtianfu, Huang Ruixiang has been in poor health recently, Jiang Zhiheng has not heard from him for many days, and this time he suddenly heard that he had a fever and was inevitably panicked.
In a hurry, he went to Qunfang Hall first, and learned that after Xiangxue left, Huang Ruixiang never patronized. Jiang Zhiheng had no idea for a while, so he had to visit in person.
When he entered, Huang Ruixiang still had a low-grade fever, and Feng Zhiyu took care of him in the house. In the past half a month, only Feng Zhiyu took a few maids and women to manage Huang Ruixiang's daily life. Yuelan was already able to get out of bed, but she was weak, and Feng Zhiyu never let her enter the room, for fear that she would catch the disease.
Huang Ruixiang was lying on the bed drenched in sweat, and when he saw him, he arched his hand and asked him to sit down on the side of the bed.
Jiang Zhiheng said: "Brother Nanfeng, I haven't heard much from you recently, how are you doing?" ”
"I'm still in good health, what have Brother Hongwen been busy with lately?"
"I don't have time to get busy with anything, but I should also collect my heart recently and prepare for next year's spring meeting."
"Then I'll wish you a success."
Jiang Zhiheng arched his hand with him, "Actually, Neizi's family urged me to go to Shuntianfu in advance after the Mid-Autumn Festival, and concentrate on preparing for the exam, so as not to delay on the road for too long before the exam, and the questions that could have been answered would have to be blackened when I saw it." ”
Feng Zhiyu led someone to bring tea in, and personally moved Jiang Zhiheng to his hand, "Hong Wen, use tea." ”
"Thank you, second sister."
Huang Ruixiang smiled, "You have been calling her with my brother-in-law."
”
"Growing up together, he's used to calling me that." Feng Zhiyu also smiled, "When I came in, I heard you say that you were going to Shuntian Mansion to prepare for the Spring Festival?" Are you going alone, or are you going to Beijing with your family? ”
"With Uchiko." Jiang Zhiheng is the grandson of An Houhou, An Houhou is in the capital, and his last trip north is also to visit relatives.
"You newlyweds, shouldn't be separated for too long, I think that you and your brother Nanfeng have just been married for a year, and to put it bluntly, there have been two or three months of honey and oil blending." Feng Zhiyu saw that Huang Ruixiang's face turned yellow when he was told by himself, and laughed, "You guys talk, I don't dare to say anything here, so let's be more interesting and go first." ”
Jiang Zhiheng was afraid that Huang Ruixiang would delay his illness and really cause a fatality, seeing his sallow face and white lips, he couldn't help asking: "Brother Nanfeng, can you find a doctor for this disease?" What kind of illness causes fever at both ends in three days? What did the doctor say? ”
Hearing this, Huang Ruixiang actually smiled, "You can also see it, isn't it that problem." Are you still afraid that I don't know? After speaking, he leaned back on the pillow, "Feng Zhiyu can be regarded as seizing the opportunity, and I will fall into her hands now." At the moment, I'm still hiding it from other people in the house, don't tell it, and when I can't get better, everyone will know. ”
Jiang Zhiheng was stunned, "Have you called the doctor to diagnose?" How did you get it? ”
It has been some time since the diagnosis, and Huang Ruixiang has also made trouble, but he was stunned and didn't react at this time, and said lightly: "She was not in Yingtianfu a while ago, so I went to the riverside courtyard with a friend to play for two days, and I don't know if I was infected at that time." ”
Jiang Zhiheng's eyebrows were furrowed, how could he still listen to half a sentence. Say goodbye to him and let him recuperate, he is not worried about Feng Zhiyu being sick because of Huang Ruixiang, she is looking forward to this day, so she naturally takes precautions.
Jiang Zhiheng walked out of the house, and saw Feng Zhiyu sitting in the small hall flipping through a book and drinking tea, describing that he was at ease, and the chill rose from the heart of his feet, and he couldn't help but walk towards her.
"Second sister." Jiang Zhiheng clenched his cheeks, and he didn't know how to speak, "I ......"
Feng Zhiyu closed the book, raised his eyes to look at him, saw that he wanted to speak and stopped, waved his hand to send the servants who were accompanying him back in the hall, "What?" Hongwen, do you have something to tell me? It's a rare trip, so let's sit back for a while. ”
Jiang Zhiheng didn't sit down, looked sideways outside the house, saw that there was no one, and said to her: "I know that you gave Xiangxue a sum of money and asked her to help you murder Huang Ruixiang." ”
Feng Zhiyu drank tea, "I thought you would hide this matter for me forever." ”
"You..." he reacted, he had Xiangxue leaking secrets, and Feng Zhiyu could naturally learn about the incident from the sick prostitute.
That little prostitute couldn't trust men for a long time, and was bent on Feng Zhiyu.
But Jiang Zhiheng has eaten less than Feng Zhiyu for three years, and at this time he is not as old as her, "No... I'll hide it for you, I know you're not a hopelessly wicked person. It's just the second sister, Huang Ruixiang deceived you and beat you, if he was sick and died, it would be his retribution, but if you intentionally promoted-"
Feng Zhiyu put down the teacup and interrupted him, "Hong Wen, what are you approaching him for?" Make friends? I don't think so. You bought Xiangxue and that little prostitute to obstruct me, could it be true that you took him as a friend? ”
She raised her eyes to look at him with a little smile, "You have been targeting me since I was a child, and you always like to disagree with me, tell me, why do you always target me?" ”
"I..." Jiang Zhiheng knew that he had been seen through, and he didn't know how to answer for a while.
Feng Zhiyu looked at him young
Sheng's eyes,
Glance away,
Pulling the corners of his mouth, "You are very similar to Juncheng, but compared to him, you are just an ordinary man." ”
"What do you mean?"
"It means that you are a good person, but you can't get out of your identity as a man, so you can only be a good person, be a man, and not be a good man."
Jiang Zhiheng's eyes were even more confused, he remembered what Xiangxue had said to him, saying that he didn't understand women, which sounded like Feng Zhiyu's words today, which seemed to mean the same thing, but it made him a little confused.
When Jiang Zhiheng walked out of the Huang Mansion, Feng Zhiyu still had words in his ears after sending him out of the Yimen.
"Don't worry, I don't want him to die, I will treat him well and let him be the second master of the Huang family. You don't have to worry about me, I will take charge of his house, take care of his concubines, and raise his son. Hong Wen, thank you for coming to see him. ”
Jiang Zhiheng understood a little in a trance, but he understood Feng Juncheng's decision.
that
Shijiang Zhiheng knew very early that he and Feng Zhiyu would not have results, whether it was age or background, they did not match, so he was disciplined early, even as a concubine of the Hou family, it seemed that he could not use any privileges in the face of his own life events.
Feng Juncheng seems to have figured this out a long time ago, and in the face of the prestige of the power that seems to have been carefully embellished, he is completely unmoved, because there is always a higher person in power above the power, in the Feng Mansion or in the court, once the power of the subordinate cannot be used, the so-called power is tantamount to a shackle.
The shackles have trapped Jiang Zhiheng so far, making him seem chic, but in fact, he has come to this day step by step.
Feng Juncheng, who returned to Shuntian Mansion, has been liberated from the shackles of the Feng family's son-in-law, Qing'e jokingly said that the two are now a pair of winged butterflies, and Ruru is their little green worm.
"Ruru is not a little bug!" Ru Ru was squatting on the ground touching the flower general, and suddenly heard Qing'e in front of the makeup say this, not to mention how dissatisfied, two small hands were placed behind her and said: "Ru Ru is also a butterfly." ”
Qing'e turned around, leaned down and pointed her index finger at the tip of her nose, "You're not a butterfly yet, you're a little caterpillar." She was dressing up, her eyebrows were slender and long, and when she saw that Ruru was fascinated, Qing'e asked her with a smile: "Is it beautiful?" ”
Ru Ru nodded her head, Qing'e turned back to her makeup, and dipped the hairpin rod in a little rouge, "Come, give Ru Ru a little red dot on the center of her eyebrows, and Ru Ru will also become beautiful." ”
Ru Ru couldn't wait, "Becoming beautiful is a flower butterfly." ”
Qing'e carefully supported her little face, gave her a point, and kissed her the cheek, "To be beautiful is to be a beautiful little green worm." ”
Ru Ru was so anxious that she stomped her feet, "Qing'e plays Laipi, Qing'e plays Laipi, I won't play with Qing'e." ”
She turned around and ran to the couch, Feng Juncheng was sitting there smiling and looking at the mother and daughter bickering, and picked up Ruru, praising Ruru for being so beautiful.
Qing'e looked at his father and daughter through the mirror, as if she had eaten a spoonful of honey, sweet to her heart, and slowly picked up the lip grease, just to make this moment longer.
Finally dressed up, she went over and pulled Feng Juncheng's arm, "Let's go, let's go to the street together, I want to walk on the street with you." ”
This is good in Shuntianfu, the two of them go out on the street in regular clothes, and they are not afraid of being stared at at at all.
Ru Ru likes to walk between the two of them, let them carry her arm swing, if she sees the sugar gourd seller walking over, she will point to the sugar gourd vendor and shake Feng Jun's clothes
pendulum
begged the eldest master to buy her sugar gourd to eat.
Feng Juncheng raised his chin and motioned for Wang Ban to buy it,
Squatted down to tease Ruru's little hands, "Call Dad, and I'll give you food." ”
"Daddy! Daddy! Big old man daddy! ”
Ru Ru was excited, calling her father, seeing the string of sugar gourds go to his hand, and then she reached out and carefully took the sugar gourd skewer. If you fall to the ground, you won't eat it.
Take a lick, "It's so sweet!" ”
The sugar shell on the outside is crispy and crispy, and when you taste the hawthorn inside, it is so sour that Ruru sticks out her tongue.
Qing'e asked her if she still wanted to eat, Ruru nodded her little head and hurriedly ate the second bite, and at the end of the meal, her little belly was round, and Qing'e snatched the sugar gourd, "Don't eat it, you three and I will have three, and if you eat again, your teeth will be broken." ”
Ruru still had one in her mouth, a little slimy sugar on her hand, rubbed it on her little belly, looked at the prosperity of Shuntianfu Street, and nodded with Qing'e.
Back in the house, the two handed Ruru over to Shi's mother. Qing'e slowly sorted out the sundries on the table in the room, still holding a sugar gourd in her hand, the red fruit was wrapped in sugar, and she was reluctant to throw it away, so she picked up the skewer and tasted it, and almost didn't lose her eyebrows when she bit it.
Qing'e's eyelids twitched, and she turned her face to see Feng Juncheng walking in, and hurriedly went over to give him the hawthorn in her mouth.
She burst into tears, grabbed his arm and stood on tiptoe. Feng Juncheng had just entered the door, followed by Xiuyun and Wang Ban, but she was all on her lips, so he naturally pulled the red hawthorn between her lips and teeth.
The sugar shell told her to eat it, and only acid remained, but fortunately he could eat acid, so he just covered his cheeks.
Outside the house, Wang Ban Xiuyun reacted for a moment before he understood, Wang Ban stopped outside the door with a big red face, and Xiuyun had to follow up, but Wang Ban grabbed him and made a look.
"Pull me for what?" Xiuyun gave him a big look, she still had hot water and a towel in her hand, Feng Juncheng was used to wiping his face first when he came back from outside, and was still waiting for this basin of water.
Wang Ban smacked his tongue and winked at her, "Didn't you see that there are still two on the skewer?" ”
Xiuyun was stunned at first, but after understanding, the red cloud on his face burned to his neck, and he shoved the basin of water into Wang Ban's hand, and ran away as if he was running away.
After running a few steps, he turned his head and glanced into the door, but he didn't look at anything, only to hear Qing'e laugh twice, which made her face smile hotter and redder, but she ran away with chills.
Wang Ban looked at her back and ran away, sighed, and closed the door for the people in the room. I thought that I would simply send the letter back to Jiangning when I wanted, and also bring Xiuyun back.
Mrs. Dong forced her over, so that any discerning person could see that Feng Juncheng didn't want to argue with his mother before parting, so he brought someone here, but he was afraid that once he brought it, trouble was still to come.
As soon as the door was closed, it was closed into the night. In the first half of the night, the moon hung high, and the gray clouds obscured the hooked crescent.
In the middle of the night, Zhao Qi was so hungry that he panicked, and came out of the house to the kitchen to find something to eat, he thought that he couldn't meet anyone at night, and the moon was bright again, so he didn't bother to light the lamp, and he limped and shivered in a short coat.
"It's cold." Zhao Qi rummaged through the stove, found a steamed bun, and touched a pickle melon from the pickle jar, and walked back while biting.
Walking to the place near the garden, I heard two cats calling like spring, and I felt "ouch" in my heart, and quickly lowered my shoulders and walked into the garden to catch wild mandarin ducks.
It's a little interesting, I didn't expect that there are not many servants in this Feng mansion, and there are a lot of bold ones, and they can make a pair and sneak a tryst in this black-lit place.
Zhao Qi leaned into the grass and asked the branch to poke in the armpit, almost not jumping up, not wanting to alarm the "wild mandarin duck". Raising her face and looking at each other, it was Xiuyun, who was sitting sideways, lying on the fence of the gazebo.
Zhao Qi hurriedly looked around and looked for her lover. Let him come tonight, this Xiuyun secretly gave Qing'e a cold eye, let her plant it in his hands today!
I saw Xiuyun stretch out his hand to wipe his face and sniff, "Why are you here?" At night, who told you could walk around the house as you pleased? Where did the country man come from, why didn't he have any rules? ”
Zhao Qi scratched his arm, "You can walk, why can't I walk here?" ”
“… I'm the big girl in this house. ”
"I'm still Feng Juncheng's eldest brother."
"Phew! Which uncle, do you want a face? ”
Zhao Qi grinned instead, walked towards her, and when she got closer, she saw the water marks on her face, and opened her eyes, "Yo, the big girl doesn't sleep at night, so I'm crying here." Could it be that the white eyes roll too often during the day, and the eyes can't turn back at night? ”
Xiuyun was still frowning, with a stinky face, and was ridiculed by him, and suddenly buried his head with his hands in his face, choking and sobbing.
When Zhao Qi heard this, he realized that this was not the "cat barking"? There is no lover in the relationship, she is crying here alone.
He took a bite of the crunchy pickle, turned and walked away, "I thought I was holding the handle." If you don't sleep at night, you cry in the yard? It's so idle. ”
Xiuyun sobbed and shook, listening to his unforgiving mouth, how could he ever see such a stinky man?
She grabbed her skirt, rushed up and kicked him on his good leg, and walked away quickly, leaving Zhao Qi to bite the pickled melon, hugging her leg and screaming.!
