Chapter 66: Gaffe
After talking, he came to the study, and saw that it was also very simple, except for a few bookshelves full of books, a few tables and chairs, there was nothing left. Mrs. Jiang nodded secretly in her heart, thinking that her son finally had some prospects, and did not let this woman be charmed, maybe it was only because these two children had a good future. Jin Zangfeng peeled sweet potatoes for her just now, even if she didn't like seeing this grandson in her heart, she liked it a little at that moment. He is still like this, not to mention that the son and these two children are still close relatives?
Just thinking about it, I heard Aunt Huo scream in surprise, pointing at the paperweight on the table and saying, "This...how did this thing come here?" Because the table was in the corner, Madam Jiang and Jiang Wanying hadn't discovered it for a while. , At this time, Aunt Huo called out, and suddenly she saw her face sinking.
Fu Qiuning was also stunned, secretly thinking to death, how could he forget to put away these two eye-catching things. It was too late to clean up at this time. Fortunately, Jin Zangfeng and Jin Zangjiao were both talking with the old lady in the small hall, so she wondered: "Is there anything unusual about this thing? It was used by two children, I don't know much about this aspect, I just think it looks good, and the quality of jade seems to be good. Why is my sister so surprised?"
Huo's and Xu's faces turned pale, but Jiang Wanying said with a smile on her face: "Sister, didn't you tell you the origin of these two things? The jade is delicate and warm, and it is the top grade in jade carvings. That’s all, the most precious thing is that it was given by the emperor. When all the countries paid tribute, they brought up all kinds of gifts. The emperor saw the pair of jade lions and praised our grandfather on the spot for making great contributions to the Daning Dynasty. , just like a male lion beside him. Therefore, it was given to him. He liked it very much. Xuan'er asked him twice, but he didn't give it. He told me a few days ago that he would give it away. I thought it was a gift. Who, but it turned out to be sent to my sister."
Jiang Wanying said with a light smile, and the expressions of Mrs. Jiang and Auntie Xu were even more ugly. It's just that Jin Fengju gave it by himself, and they had nothing to say, so they just snorted. He left the library.
Finally, Mrs. Jin is not old and confused. Just by looking at the expressions on Madam Jiang and the others, she knew that they must have found something again, and she could even hear the sour anger in her words. Fu Qiuning just lowered his head and listened, occasionally responding with half a sound. With that indifferent look, the old lady couldn't help but think of her style back then. I think that she was like this when she was dealing with her mother-in-law and concubines. Everyone said that she was virtuous and deceitful. She said that she would spoil her concubine and destroy her wife in a few days, but in the end, she still stood firm in this family. Had the last laugh.
Seeing Aunt Xu and Aunt Huo's arrogance grew. The old lady was amusing in her heart, and secretly asked, do you still think Mrs. Fu is afraid? But don't know that she just doesn't want to get to know you in general. After all, it is considered to be a young lady from a family, but it doesn't even count as such.
Because of this thought. Then he stood up and said, "That's it, I originally thought of coming here quietly today. Let's eat another meal. I didn't expect you all to come here. With dozens of people, how can people prepare for us? Meals? I'm afraid that if I disturb you for a while, the owner is already impatient, let's not lose our eyes, let's go back, but don't forget to bring that sweet potato."
Fu Qiuning smiled and said, "What did the ancestor say? It's time to kill the grandson's daughter-in-law. It's still early, and it's still early to sit down. Although there is nothing delicious here, there is still plenty of rough tea and light meals..." Just listening to the old lady Jin waved her hand and said with a smile: "That's all, I want to come over a few more times. If you get tired of it now, how can you come over in the future? I know you have a good plan in your heart, looking forward to a rough meal. Send me away, I won't bother you in the future, hehe, don't even think about it."
Everyone laughed when she said this, so she quickly prepared the spring stool and helped the old lady to sit up firmly. Here Jiang Wanying smiled and said to Fu Qiuning, "Sister is so lucky to have such two high-flying sons and daughters. I'm going to go to the ancestry school in a few days. It's just a pity that it's not my own. But as the saying goes, what kind of gift is better than raising a kindness? So don't worry about my sister. It's just that Wan Fengxuan is remote, it's me Tell me, it would be better for my sister to enter the backyard earlier, and it would be convenient for me to take care of it, don't you think?"
Fu Qiuning hurriedly said a few words in a humbly manner, and finally sent her away, watching the crowd surrounded by the old lady Jin gradually leaving, until she entered the Green Garden, and she was never seen again. Fu Qiuning said with a wry smile: "Old lady, old lady, which one are you singing? Even your grandson promised me not to enter the backyard and grow old safely. Can't you see me hiding alone?"
"What did your mother say?" Jin Zangfeng and Jin Zang Jiaoyujie didn't hear Fu Qiuning's self-talk. Immediately stepped forward and said, "Mother is tired? Go, go into the house, we will help you beat your legs."
"Two sycophants." Fu Qiuning couldn't help laughing and poked each of the two little guys with one finger: "Don't think that you can hide from me, hurry back to the study and work hard, because the wife was waiting, I didn't write a few big words before. Come out? Go, finish today's task, I don't need you to worry about it. It's just that the white jade lion is too conspicuous, hide it carefully, lest the next time your brothers and sisters come to play, one of you accidentally falls again. It's broken, and when you cry, you won't be able to find a place to go."
When the two children heard their mother say this, they ran into the study in fright and hid the white jade lion. Here Fu Qiuning returned to the room, the more she thought about it, the more she could not understand the meaning of the old lady Jin. She had only a few days in contact with Jin Fengju. Although she knew that the other party was powerful, she was not as good as the old lady who watched each other grow up from a young age. Sun Lianxin had already seen through the fact that it was impossible for the other party to let Fu Qiuning live in Wanfengxuan for a long time, so he would act like this. So just leaned on the lead pillow and thought, but couldn't understand what thought. It was really baffling.
With a sigh, he picked up the female red next to him and continued to embroider, but he accidentally pricked his hand because he was in a trance. Lai: "Why are you so careless? Did you get stuck? Does it hurt? Don't move, just suck the blood." But it was Jin Fengju who came over at some point, and seemed to be in more pain than Fu Qiuning. Grabbing the green jade finger, he was about to put it in his mouth.
Fu Qiuning was almost stunned, only then did he come to his senses, and quickly said, "You don't have to worry about it, Mr. Hou, I'll do it myself." After he finished speaking, he pulled his finger back and sucked it in his mouth. After all, the eye of the needle was too small. It's okay to hurt for a moment. And Jin Fengju seemed to realize that he had lost his temper, hehe laughed, sat in a row of chairs under the kang, and smiled shyly: "Why bother? I just saw that you were pierced by a needle, and thought it was pierced, so I rushed over to see. Look." As he spoke, he felt that such a reason was very far-fetched, and he wondered why he seemed to be blinded by lard? Originally, seeing the silence of the quiet courtyard, I wanted to sneak in to take a look, but when I met Fu Qiuning, his hand was stabbed. For a moment, it was as if his heart had been stabbed. When he reacted, his hand had already grabbed someone's finger. Living.
"Why did you come here? Did you originally want to go to the house of the wives and concubines, so why don't you come to me?" The atmosphere was a little embarrassing. In order to relieve the embarrassment, Fu Qiuning had to make fun of Jin Fengju half-jokingly. By the way, he also found a step for him. Down.
"You really got it right." Who is Jin Fengju, there is no reason not to go down the steps immediately: "I originally wanted to go to Qingwan Pavilion, but I heard that my ancestors had come, so I changed the route temporarily, but I thought I wanted to talk to Wanying about something, and when I came in, I thought you were her." Jin Fengju smiled slightly, and this section was revealed.
"How? All the sweet potatoes are out?" Jin Fengju saw that Fu Qiuning picked up the embroidery stretcher again, and asked casually, seeing Fu Qiuning nodding: "Almost, Yujie and Yuniang are busy in the backyard. Not yet. Half an mu of land, that is, a few hundred kilograms, since it can’t rain today, so put all the sweet potatoes in the ground first, and then slowly put them in those abandoned houses after a few days.”
Jin Feng nodded and said: "In that case, let me find a few servants to help. After all, you are all a woman's family, and a few hundred kilograms are enough. It's not as good as the boys, who will carry them in with all their hands and feet." He These words touched Fu Qiuning's heart, and he quickly smiled: "This is great, then I will thank you so much."
"Family, what are you thankful for?" Jin Fengju smiled slightly and asked again, "Can the old ancestor have lunch here? Have you seen the front and back yard? What did you say?"
Fu Qiuning didn't know whether to laugh or cry: "Don't mention it, the old ancestor came on the front foot, and the wife and grandfather's wives and concubines also came on the back foot, making a fuss, the old ancestor is not in the mood to have lunch here, I know, it's because she loves me, or so There are so many people, how can I be so busy?"
Jin Fengju smiled and said: "She left early because she loved you, otherwise what is a meal? Let the kitchen bring it over, and the labor is less than half of your work. This must be to let you see the mouths of my wives and concubines again. Kung Fu, the ancestors couldn't bear to be embarrassed by you, so I left." As he said, Yujie had already rushed back from the backyard, and after changing his clothes, he poured a cup of tea for Jin Feng and then withdrew.
"You still understand." After Fu Qiuning finished smiling, he suddenly remembered something and sighed, "Yes, Mrs. today said she wanted to go shopping, but she went to the study, and neither of your white jade lions were put away. It was placed on the table, and they saw it. I saw that the faces of my wife and grandma and aunts were not good-looking. If you want to come back, you will be questioned. Oh! I was also careless. I never expected so many people today. Now that Feng’er and Jiao’er have been told to put them away, if you can’t deal with it, take it back and make it…” (To be continued)
