Chapter 66:
Marquis Jingyang, Fu Chen Liang Tong's selection results have not yet been sent back, the Qing Kingdom government post arrived first.
Looking at the post, Mrs. Lin felt a little undecided.
The mother and daughter of the Qiao family are planning to leave on the 25th, and Princess Yongning celebrates her birthday at the end of the month. She can go to the emperor’s aunt’s birthday banquet to show her face. This kind of opportunity, which female family does not yearn for? If she invites Qiao to go with her, Qiao will certainly agree.
But she didn't want to bring Joe's mother and daughter.
Putting down the post, Mrs. Lin leaned on the couch, rubbing his eyebrows with one hand, rubbing and turning over to lie down, his hands clenched fiercely.
Fu Pinchuan had read books with one of her cousin classmates. Before marriage, she vaguely heard that Fu Pinchuan had a sweetheart, but she didn't know who it was. When she got married, she was a little nervous, but she soon discovered that although her husband didn't laugh and didn't have any sweet words at night, he was very kind to her. The mother-in-law deliberately made things difficult, he would protect her. She gave birth to a son, and he really liked it and raised it personally. So even if the mother-in-law's attitude vaguely guessed that the husband's former sweetheart was mostly Joe, she didn't feel too uncomfortable. No matter what, Fu Pinchuan is already her husband.
Mrs. Lin thought he would be content forever. Unexpectedly, the next day Fu Pinyan led the family out, her husband was completely drunk. At night, she took care of him intricately, but he called "Su Niang" over and over again, calling Qiao's nickname.
At that time, Mrs. Lin knew how deep his husband's affection for Qiao was.
She didn't point out, but treated him more gently, keeping the Marquis Residence inner courtyard in order for him, taking care of his filial siblings for his mother, and looking forward to driving away the figure in his heart and replacing him with herself. After more than ten years, Mrs. Lin felt that he had done it. But when Qiao came back, her husband repeatedly avoided seeing him. Mrs. Lin finally discovered that she had always been deceiving herself.
What can find?
Mrs. Lin only hoped that Qiao’s mother and daughter would leave soon, and she didn’t want them to stay too much for a day. She would rather continue to deceive herself if she didn’t see her and didn’t worry.
But she couldn't make the decision without authorization. Qing Kingdom government sent a post, and most of the old lady had received a letter from it.
Mrs. Lin sat up again, sorted out his clothes, and took the post to Wufu Hall.
"Mother, Princess Yongning has a birthday, please let's go and have fun." Mrs. Lin smiled and handed the post to the old lady. When the old lady finished reading, she tentatively said: "Such a good thing, do I want to tell the second sibling Say, let them leave two days later?"
The old lady glanced at her and sneered in her heart.
She didn’t want to see the Qiao family. The eldest daughter-in-law might be more annoyed with each other than she, and came here specially, but she was afraid that her son would blame her for not giving the Qiao’s mother and daughter a chance to show up in front of the noble ladies in the capital, so she hoped that she would speak. So the son can't say anything if he knows it.
For the other side, the old lady is really unwilling to help Mrs. Lin, but this time...
"No, she is eager to go home. Why use this to hang her and make her feel embarrassed." The old lady said lazily, and looked at her daughter-in-law meaningfully: "Only people around you know this, right? Just stare, don't let them break their mouths, it will disturb their peace for nothing."
As if unable to understand the deep meaning in the mother-in-law's eyes, Mrs. Lin nodded obediently: "Daughter-in-law understands, mother can rest assured."
The old lady let out a chuckle.
Mrs. Lin left and returned to the main courtyard, instructing the maid beside him not to pass it out, and not to mention the four girls.
When the husband and wife were alone at night, Mrs. Lin mentioned the post to her husband: "This kind of excitement, the third siblings have never liked to participate, so I didn’t bother her, but I thought that the second sibling would rarely return to Beijing once, so I asked. Would she take her two nieces to meet the world."
Speaking of stopping here, quietly looked at husband.
Fu Pinchuan read the book in his hand, and asked casually: "What did she say?"
His expression was as usual, as if it was just a common story. Mrs. Lin couldn't see anything, and said regretfully: "Second younger sibling has declined. Also, Guan is only three years old at home. She must be anxious to go back, and I am also anxious for me."
Fu Pinchuan smiled and said while turning the page: "You mothers are all like this."
When Mrs. Lin saw that he seemed to be in a good mood, he tentatively leaned forward and pressed his head against his chest: "The second sibling gave birth to five children in a row, which is really enviable." His white and delicate hands rested on Fu Pinchuan's waist, lightly. Moved lightly, the couple have not been close this month.
Fu Pinchuan condensed his eyes, read two lines of words again, got up and said: "It's getting late, go to sleep, I will put the book back."
Mrs. Lin smiled and watched him put a book and blow a lamp. He turned over to the bed before the man turned around and waited nervously. Husband, should he understand her hint?
As a result, Fu Pinchuan came up and covered his quilt, and his breath quickly grew longer.
Mrs. Lin couldn't believe it and yelled softly, "Lord Marquis?"
no respond.
Mrs. Lin had no sleep all night.
Qiao had a good night's dream and woke up refreshed in the morning.
Both the son and the prospective son-in-law have become officials and have a promising future. Can she be upset?
After the meal, when Fu Chen and Liang Tong were about to go out, the Qiao family secretly gave Fu Chen a silver ticket: "Please go to the best restaurant in Beijing and be generous. Don't make people laugh at us." After coming to Beijing , Their female relatives are staying in Marquis Residence. The two teenagers are accompanied by Fu Ding, and they have made many friends outside. Now they are sealed off, and they have to eat and drink.
Fu Chen had enough money to use, and he was afraid of his mother's nagging, so he took the banknote into his arms and turned to leave.
Qiao suddenly stopped him again, looked at the two daughters sitting next to him, dragged Fu Chen away, and warned in a low voice, "Don’t care about you at the table and drink, don’t be drunk and make trouble, but if someone If you want to go to that kind of place, dare you to go, I will break your leg, there is Shaoqu, I can’t tell him, stare, don’t call Wan Wan wronged."
Fu Chen's eyes were about to widen, and he looked at her inconceivably: "Mother, what are you worried about? I don't bother to tell you, we are gone!"
Qiao still wanted to catch up, and Fu Rong hurried over and said, "Mother, don't tell me, when did my brother let you worry about it?"
"What do you know?" Joe poked his daughter's forehead.
Fu Rong curled his lips and hummed in a low voice, "I know everything, and my mother stuffed my brother a silver ticket. Xuanxuan and I have nothing."
Qiao was shocked when he heard that his daughter knew everything. How could a little girl know the land of fireworks? I was wondering if the maid at home should take care of it, so I heard my daughter get to the bank note and couldn't help being amused. She squeezed Fu Rong's face and said, "Wait for your sisters someday, my mother will give you too!"
Fu Rong was only satisfied.
Qiao looked at the time and urged them: "Didn't you say that you are going to the General's Mansion? Go find A'Bao, don't tell her to wait in a hurry. Let's leave the day after tomorrow. This is probably the last time you will go out to play." "
Last time Fu Rong and a few ran into Qin Yunyu on the painting boat. The little girl liked Sister Fu Rong very much. Two days ago, she invited them to visit the General's Mansion.
Fu Rong bid farewell to his mother and went to the main courtyard with Fu Xuan.
After hearing the maids say that they have arrived, Fu Bao came out of Mrs. Lin’s house with a sad face and explained to the two of them: "My mother is not feeling well, I want to stay with her. Third sister and sixth sister, go for me. Explain to Yunyu."
Mrs. Lin is sick?
Fu Rong said hurriedly: "When did the eldest mother get sick? We haven't heard the letter, so let us in and have a look." Mother has the ability, except for the first few days to come here to accompany the old lady with dinner, soon So the old lady "distressed" them, telling them to sit there in the daytime, and don't have to save every day in the morning and dusk. Therefore, there is an accident on the main house and they will not get news immediately.
Fu Bao led them in.
In the interior room with bright and clean windows, Mrs. Lin was lying on the bed with a pale face. Fu Ding's wife Qin Yunyue was waiting for her mother to drink medicine.
"Auntie." Fu Rong walked over and asked with concern, "What's wrong with you?"
Mrs. Lin shook his head and smiled bitterly: "I'm sick, just take a two-day rest. It won't matter. You can go and play, don't take it to heart, and don't have to mention it to your mother when you look back. I am embarrassed to make a fuss."
Fu Rong was puzzled when he heard this.
She and her sister really went to the General's Mansion. Fu Bao did not go. The Qin family would definitely ask, knowing that Mrs. Lin was sick, Fu Bao stayed at Marquis Residence to serve his mother, but their two nieces went out happily as guests. What would the Qin family do? See the upbringing of the second house girl?
Fu Bao couldn't think of such a simple reason. Mrs. Lin has been working for Mrs. Hou for so many years, and it is impossible not to understand.
Could it be that Mrs. Lin wanted to ruin their reputation?
Thinking of this, Fu Rong said worriedly: "The big aunt is sick in bed, we don't have the mind to play. You can take care of it, we will go back and tell my mother, let her come to see you." When talking, secretly Observe every subtle expression of Mrs. Lin.
To her surprise, not only did Mrs. Lin's disappointment that his plan failed, but he was more relieved.
Fu Rong is a little confused. Is it possible that Mrs. Lin is duplicity and told them to go out to play, but actually hope they stay at home?
Qin Yunyu got close to them before, but he didn't see Mrs. Lin upset. What's the point of blocking them from going to the General's Mansion?
Fu Rong couldn't figure it out for a while, but he took a few words of concern and took his sister back to the east courtyard.
"Mother, look, do I think too much?" Fu Rong told his mother five to one.
Qiao frowned and asked Fu Xuan, "Xuanxuan also feels this way?"
Fu Xuan nodded: "It's a bit weird indeed."
The mother and daughter were meditating in secret. Lan Xiang came back and said to Fu Rong: "Girl, I have inquired about it. There is nothing unusual about Marquis Residence in the past two days."
Fu Rong looked at his mother.
Qiao thought for a while, and said: "It doesn't matter what she tossed about, let's live the way we should, you go back to the house and play, I will check it out."
The Qin family had a long relationship with Xu Jin, and he was worried that he would see Xu Jin in the general's mansion. Fu Rong didn't really want to go, so he obediently returned to the room. Doubtful at all, Fu Rong asked curiously when he was eating at noon, and Qiao shook his head and said, "I didn't find out, forget it, don't care about her."
Even my mother didn't find anything, she thought more about it, right?
Fu Rong bowed his head and ate in peace.
The Qiao family only thought of going out as a daughter, and laughed: "It's okay. I can't go out today. My mother will take you to Feng Laiyi. Last time I said I didn't go there. This time I will never break my promise. I will give it to your sister by the way. Pick a good pair to add a dowry."
Fu Rong guessed that his mother had misunderstood, but he could buy jewelry. How could Fu Rong be unhappy?
The next day, the mother and daughter took a carriage to Feng Laiyi.
As the most famous jewelry building in Beijing, Feng Laiyi's style is not comparable to Ruyizhai's, with magnificent furnishings and jewels everywhere.
Fu Rong was so dazzled by the selection that when the princess and daughter of the county came over, she was stunned for a while to make sure that she really didn't see the wrong person.
Qiao had already warmly stepped forward to say hello: "When did you arrive in the capital?"
Princess Jun is a cold beauty, she looks a bit repulsive, but in fact she can be considered friendly when she talks, at least in her previous life, Fu Rong felt so before marrying. For example, at this time, the princess of the county first saw the mother and daughter of the Qiao family come over to greet her, "I entered Beijing yesterday morning.
Everyone moved to the private room as guests.
Xu Xi didn't like Fu Rong, but she did not dare to show impoliteness in front of her mother, so she only quietly glared at Fu Rong. Fu Rong was too lazy to pay attention to her. He didn't even see her, and listened with a smile to her mother and the princess.
When asked why she came to Beijing this time, the princess princess smiled and said, "Grandma Xi'er has her birthday at the end of the month. I don't know when his wife will leave Beijing? If you are not in a hurry, come to the Guogong Mansion to gather at the end of the month."
Hearing this, Qiao suddenly realized that Mrs. Lin prevented his daughter from going to the General's Mansion because he was afraid that his daughter would hear the news from there, and that they would be entangled with her mother and daughter?
With a flattered smile, Qiao responded happily: "That dare to love, now our mother and daughter are going to be eye-opening, Xuanxuan, don't you want to thank your mother."
Fu Rong Fu Xuan quickly got up and saluted.
The princess nodded, exchanged greetings, and led Xu Xi away.
Fu Rong asked her mother amusedly: "Mother is not in a hurry to go home?"
Qiao glanced out the window and sneered: "What's the rush? People deliberately don't want me to show my face, I don't want her to do so.
Qing Kingdom government, Princess Yongning's birthday banquet, almost all the noble ladies in the capital will be there. She is the mother of five children, in fact, she doesn't care about this face, but she is fourteen years old, she is in a good time, maybe she is in the eyes of any noble person? Others don't mention that the princess of the county is so courteous, and the son Xu Yan is pretty good.
Qiao proudly looked at the second baby daughter, the eldest daughter had a good family, and the thick marriage should have been prepared early.
