Chapter 70: Mid-Autumn Festival
Jin Fengju took a sip of tea slowly, and asked the brothers and sisters in deep thought, "I don't worry about your studies. Your mother will supervise and urge you. I just ask you, there are people who bully you in today's clan school. Is it?" After seeing Jin Zangfeng and Jin Zangjiao shaking his head, he smiled and said, "That's good, I'm just afraid that some unreasonable little bastards will bully my Feng'er Jiao'er on your first day of school. Listen to what you say. , I'm relieved." After eating some edamame and peanuts, he stood up and said, "I'm not here tonight, I'll go to the ancestors later, do you still have this thing? Bring me some if you have it. "
"What good thing? Just use this to fool the old lady, and I will blush for your grandson." Fu Qiuning said half-jokingly, but he heard Jin Fengju laugh: "The ancestors were rich and honored, what good things have not seen? Instead, it is These things will please her. Yes, did I make the clothes you make for the Mid-Autumn Festival banquet? You are not allowed to wear half-new clothes tomorrow. I have a heartless heart, and left my wife and children aside to fend for themselves."
Fu Qiuning thought to himself, aren't you? If it wasn't for Ming'er and Jiao'er's unexpected success, I would have been taken home by now, right? The children still don't know which village they were thrown on by you. Whenever she thinks of it, Jin Fengju's previous behavior makes her teeth cold, so let the other party's appearance be excellent, gentle and considerate, and she is also less gloomy and bright and interesting. Fu Qiuning can never let go of his guard against him, let alone cultivate a little goodwill. .
"It's all done." On the surface, she replied respectfully, and then Yu Niang filled the food box with edamame and peanuts. Jin Feng lifted the lid to take a look and saw that it was full of weight. Then he smiled at Fu Qiuning: "It's still a generous lady, if you can fit half a box, it would be good."
"Eat our food, and arrange for me." Fu Qiuning said with a smile and gritted his teeth, as he escorted Jin Feng to the gate. Watching his back disappear under the afterglow of the sunset, only then did he turn back. He said to Yu Niang, "It's time to make dinner. You go and see what's arranged. There is still a little lace left on those clothes. I'll rush out."
"Yes, the slaves are going to prepare dinner, and lace. It is the same when the slaves finish eating. There is not much left anyway." Yu Niang said, and went to the kitchen, where Jin Zangfeng and Jin Zangjiao ate. With a stomach full of edamame and peanuts, I obediently went to the study to review my homework. For a while, Wanfengxuan became quiet.
In the blink of an eye, it was the Mid-Autumn Festival banquet. Early in the morning, the old lady sent someone to invite him and saw that Fu Qiuning and Yu Niang Yujie were busy. Luo Cui smiled and said: "So busy? The old lady meant to let grandma and brother and sister go now. Since she was so busy, the slave went back to the old lady first, only talking about grandma and brother. The elder sister will arrive in the afternoon, too. Just don't delay any longer, or the slave maid is afraid that the old lady will come to invite grandma in person."
Fu Qiuning hurriedly thanked Luo Cui. She also said that she did not dare to delay, so Luo Cui left with a smile, and brought a package of Yujie's newly made sweet-scented osmanthus cake before leaving.
Because have to attend a family banquet in the evening, Yujie only made simple rice at noon, fried autumn cucumbers and eggs, saying that there is delicious food in the evening anyway, so itβs okay to order it when you are hungry. Fu Qiuning hurriedly instructed the two children not to say this in front of the old lady, and they couldn't afford to lose that person. Then the family changed their clothes, Fang said and went away with a smile.
This time, it was Jin Ming who was waiting outside Yongcuiyuan. When he saw them coming out, he hurriedly greeted them with a smile, but he heard Jin Zangfeng say, "Jin Ming, we have already walked through it last time, we know the way, why does Daddy still send come here?"
Jin Ming glanced at Fu Qiuning and saw that although her face was indifferent, she was also faintly curious, so he couldn't help but smile and said, "Master said, this... But when Lu Chi goes to a place, it usually takes a few walks to get there. I know well, this is the second time for grandma and young master to go to Kangshouyuan, so they may not know the way, because grandpa is still in front of the imperial palace, so the special servant came back to pick up grandma and young lady earlier."
Fu Qiuning almost stumbled, thinking to himself, everyone was thrown in front of the housekeeper this time. Just as he was thinking about it, he heard Jin Cangfeng ask again, "The Royal Front? Is Daddy in front of the Emperor? When will I be able to come back?"
"Then who knows?" Jin Ming smiled and grinned: "The emperor has to speak. But today is the Mid-Autumn Festival. The emperor, his old man Shengming, should not stay with the little marquis for too long."
Fu Qiuning's heart moved, and he asked lightly: "Master sent you back, does he have reliable people around him to serve? If you keep him at this time, does the emperor have something urgent for him to do? No, he is going to run out again. Is it an errand?" She didn't pay attention to this, but since the last time Jin Fengju hinted that Prince Hong might have lost power, she couldn't help but care. She guessed that it was probably the residual memory that had feelings for the Zhenjiang Palace, so it affected her.
"Why not? There are more capable people around the master, but the minions often follow the master more often, and the master takes me with him more when he goes to Wanfengxuan, so grandma doesn't know about the others."
Jin Ming laughed, and did not hide it from Fu Qiuning: "The sage is very happy these days, and the former complimented Prince Rong for his diligence in handling affairs. In recent years, he has become more stable and worthy of a great responsibility. Today, I have given the prince and the little marquis. The master stayed in the palace for lunch, and probably hasn't left the palace at this time. In short, the Sacred Heart is happy. The servant is only afraid that when he comes out, Prince Rong will take him to his house.
Fu Qiuning nodded, thinking in his heart that the emperor had really made up his mind to make Prince Rong the crown prince? Otherwise, he wouldn't say the words worthy of being a big boss. Although these words are often used on the talent of Dongliang, but when used on a prince, they have to be pondered. However, doesn't it mean that Prince Lie's limelight has been very strong recently? The favor was even better than that of Prince Rong and Prince Hong of that day. The emperor is not old and dying. Shouldn't he investigate again?
While thinking about it, can't help but think of the TV series "Yongzheng Dynasty" watched in modern times. thought of Emperor Kangxi's second dethronement of the crown prince, but he was slow to establish a heir. It was only after his sons showed their true colors in front of him that he chose the one that was always the first. Yongzheng, who was secretly sharp and dedicated, was the emperor. She shuddered suddenly, and secretly thought that this emperor would not be like Emperor Kangxi, saying these words deliberately, and then watching several sons fight with cold eyes, right?
Thinking about it like this, I can't help but feel that politics is really terrible and dark, but thinking about it, it has nothing to do with the woman in my deep house. People like Jin Fengju should not be able to see these doorways clearly. Because he was relieved again, he suddenly heard the bursts of laughter not far away, looked up and saw that he was already outside the Kangshou Hospital.
So he walked in quickly, and saw that all the female relatives of the house were there. As soon as they saw Fu Qiuning and Jin Zangfeng and Jin Zangjiao come in, a few people gathered around them, pretending to be affectionate. The old lady called Fu Qiuning in front of him and said with a smile, "When the curtain was just lifted, I saw that the person outside looked like Jin Ming, but Feng Ju came back? Why didn't he let him come in to see me?"
Fu Qiuning said with a smile: "When the little Marquis came back, how could he not come to see the ancestors first? It just happened that he didn't come back. Jin Ming came back, but the little Marquis sent him back to help the second master. I heard that it was the emperor who kept him. There is a banquet in the palace, and there is Prince Rong. It is uncertain when he will come back." She shamelessly said that she was a Lu idiot, so Jin Fengju specially sent someone back to lead the way. If you really say it, it will become a joke, and you don't know how much jealousy you will provoke.
"Oh, the sage has reserved a banquet again." The old lady nodded, looked outside with some emotion, and said softly: "Since his grandfather was named Hou, he is the most holy family in our family. It's just that , This saint's family is good, but sometimes, you should get out of your way, that icing on the cake and cooking oil, often accidentally burn yourself, isn't it bone-shattering pain?" After speaking, he suddenly remembered such a day, and said to himself. This kind of remark is too unlucky, so I quickly took away the emotion and said with a smile: "I'm old, what are you talking about these days? It doesn't make me feel uncomfortable."
Fu Qiuning smiled and said, "It's not uncomfortable. The old ancestors were always thinking about danger and looking forward to the future. The young master was educated by you and his wife when he was a child, so he can achieve today's achievements." After talking about the topic, he said, "What about the big partition screen? I said that I felt something was missing today, but it turned out that the big screen was gone."
The old lady Jin smiled and said: "Today's family banquet, there are more people than during the Dragon Boat Festival, and the house will inevitably look crowded, so I asked them to carry it away temporarily, but the house looks bright and bright, what do you think?"
Fu Qiuning naturally complimented a few words. When she saw Jiang Wanying coming over, she went elsewhere, and after talking with a few other women from the clan, she sat in an unobtrusive corner. Jin Zangfeng and Jin Zangjiao were playing outside with the children of the clan.
Suddenly I heard a report from outside saying, "Little Marquis is here." Fu Qiuning raised his eyes and looked out the door, only to see Jin Feng holding up an autumn-colored long gown and a lake-blue satin cloak, walking in gracefully. The people in the room immediately gathered around, unbuttoning the cloak, unbuttoning the cloak, and greeting, like a star holding the moon. However, seeing Jin Fengju's eyes looking for something in the crowd, she hurriedly retreated again, and turned her head to talk to a daughter-in-law from the side of the clan. Knowing that he can't avoid the eyes of the other party, but as long as he doesn't shout "Quning" in the public eye, it's fine.
Jin Fengju didn't know what was going on with him. He didn't even realize that his actions were inappropriate. He just entered the house and subconsciously began to look for Fu Qiuning. When he came in from the yard just now, he saw two children I was playing outside, so I was sure that the other party was here. Sure enough, after looking around for two times, I saw that she was talking in the most inconspicuous corner, and I couldn't help but secretly laugh in my heart, but I also knew why Fu Qiuning did this, so I just looked at it lightly, and then retracted my gaze.
Then he heard the old lady Jin call him to go over, Jin Fengju hurriedly stepped forward and said with a smile: "The old ancestor looks so good today, you are a person who likes to be lively, and seeing so many people now, you are happy. "Sitting down beside the old lady, he took a sip of the tea handed over by Caiyun. (To be continued)
