Chapter 66

The selection results of the Jingyang Hou Mansion and Fu Chen and Liang Tong have not been sent back yet, and the post from the Qingguo Duke’s Mansion has arrived first.

Lin looked at the post and was a little confused for a moment.

The mother and daughter of Qiao plan to leave on the 25th day, and Princess Yongning celebrates her birthday at the end of the month and can show her face at the birthday party of the emperor's aunt. Which female relative doesn't yearn for such an opportunity? If she invites Qiao to go with her, Qiao will definitely agree happily.

But she didn't want to bring the Qiao mother and daughter with her.

Putting down the post, Lin leaned against the couch, rubbed his eyebrows with one hand, and then turned over and lay down, clenching his hands tightly.

Fu Pinchuan and one of her cousins ​​studied. 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 like to laugh, she didn't say anything sweet at night, she was very nice to her. The mother-in-law intentionally made things difficult for her, and he would protect her. She gave birth to a son, and he really liked it and educated herself. So even from the mother-in-law's attitude, she vaguely guessed that her husband's sweetheart was probably Qiao, and she didn't feel too uncomfortable. No matter what, Fu Pinchuan is already her husband.

Lin thought she would be satisfied all the time, but unexpectedly, the next day after Fu Pinyan led the family out, her husband was drunk. At night, she took care of him in disguise, but he called "Su Niang" over and over again and again, calling Qiao's nickname.

At that time, Lin knew how deep her husband had for Qiao.

She did not point out, but treated him more and more gentlely, took care of the inner courtyard of the Hou Mansion in an orderly manner, and was filial to his mother for his early widowed brothers and sisters, hoping to drive away the figure in his heart little by little and replace it with herself. More than ten years have passed, and Lin felt that she had done it. However, when Qiao came back, her husband avoided it again and again. Lin finally realized that she had always deceived herself.

So what can I do if I discover it?

Lin only hoped that the Qiao family and daughter would leave quickly, and she didn't want them to stay for a day. She would rather continue to deceive herself.

But she could not make decisions without authorization. The Duke of Qingguo’s Mansion sent a post, and the old lady had probably received the letter.

Lin sat up again, prepared his clothes, and took the post to Wufutang.

"Mother, Princess Yongning celebrates her birthday, please ask us to go and have fun." Lin smiled and handed the post to the old lady. After the old lady finished reading it, she tentatively said: "As such a good thing, should I tell my second brother and sister and let them leave two days later?"

The old lady looked at her and sneered in her heart.

She didn't want to see Qiao, and her eldest daughter-in-law might be more annoyed than her, so she came here specifically, but she was afraid that her son would blame her for not giving Qiao's mother and daughter the chance to show their faces in front of the noble lady in the capital, so she hoped that she would speak so that her son could not say anything even if he knew.

If it were someone else, the old lady really didn't want to help Lin, but this time...

"No need, she is eager to go home, why use this to hang her and make her dilemma." The old lady said lazyly, and looked at her daughter-in-law meaningfully: "Only those around you know about this, right? Stay carefully, don't let the wind sounds come from their mouths, which will disturb their tranquility in vain."

As if he couldn't understand the deep meaning in his mother-in-law's eyes, Lin nodded obediently: "Doesn't worry, my daughter-in-law understands."

The old lady chuckled.

Lin said goodbye and left, returned to the main courtyard, and told the maids around him not to spread it, nor to mention the fourth girl.

When the couple was alone at night, Lin mentioned the post to her husband: "It's so lively that the third brother and sister have never liked to participate, so I didn't bother her, but I thought that the second brother and sister would rarely go back to Beijing once, so I asked her if she wanted to take her two nieces to see the world."

He stopped talking and looked at his husband quietly.

Fu Pinchuan read the book in his hand and asked casually: "What did she say?"

His expression was as normal as it was just home-cooked words. Lin could not see anything and said with regret: "The second brother and sister refused. Yes, the official brother in the family is only three years old, so she must be anxious to go back. I would be anxious to do it too."

Fu Pinchuan smiled and said while turning the pages: "You all act like this."

Seeing that he seemed to be in a good mood, Lin leaned over tentatively, and his head was pressed against his chest: "The second brother and sister gave birth to five children in a row, which is really enviable." The white and delicate hands were placed on Fu Pin's waist and moved gently. The couple had not been intimate this month.

Fu Pinchuan's eyes narrowed, he looked at two more lines of words, and stood up and said, "It's getting late, go to bed, I'll put the book back."

Lin smiled and watched him take a look at him with books and blowing the lights. Before the man turned around, he turned into the bed and waited nervously. Her husband should have understood her hint, right?

As a result, Fu Pinchuan covered his own quilt after coming up, and his breathing quickly grew.

Lin couldn't believe it and shouted softly, "Marty?"

No response.

Lin couldn't sleep all night.

However, Qiao had a good dream all night and woke up in the morning and felt refreshed.

My son and his prospective son-in-law have both become officials and have a bright future. How can she be unhappy?

After dinner, when Fu Chen and Liang Tong were about to go out, Qiao secretly gave Fu Chen a silver note: "Please go to the best restaurant in the capital, be generous, don't make people laugh at us." After coming to the capital, their female relatives stayed in the Marquis' Mansion. The two young men were accompanied by Fu Ding, and they made many friends outside. Now they have been appointed as officials, and they are indispensable for food, drink and social activities.

Fu Chen had enough money. He was afraid that his mother would nag, so he took the banknotes in his arms and turned around to leave.

Qiao suddenly grabbed him again, looked at the two daughters sitting next to him, pulled Fu Chen to walk away, and whispered: "Don't care about you when you eat, drink and drink. Just don't make trouble if you get drunk, but if someone instigates you to go to that kind of place, you dare to go, I will break your legs and there is also Shaoqu. I can't say anything about him, just stare at it, don't let Wanwan be wronged."

Fu Chen's eyes were almost widening and he looked at her incrediblely: "Mom, what are you worried about? You're too lazy to tell you that we're leaving!"

Qiao still wanted to chase after him, Fu Rong hurried over and stopped him, "Mom, stop talking, when did you worry about your brother?"

"What do you know?" Qiao poked his daughter's forehead.

Fu Rong curled his lips and snorted in a low voice: "I know everything. My mother stuffed a silver note to my brother. Xuanxuan and I have nothing."

Qiao was shocked when she heard her daughter say anything. How could a little girl know the place of fireworks? Just as she was wondering if the maid in the family should take care of her, she heard that her daughter was ripping the silver bill. She couldn't help but feel funny and pinched Fu Rong's face and said, "When you sisters treat you one day, I'll give it to you too!"

Fu Rong was only satisfied.

Qiao looked at Shichen and urged them: "Didn't you say you want to go to the General's Mansion? Go and find Abao quickly, don't tell her to wait and see. Let's leave the next day, and today is probably the last time you will go out to play."

Last time, Fu Rong and others met Qin Yunyu on the pleasure boat. The little girl liked Fu Rong's sisters very much and invited them to visit the General's Mansion two days ago.

Fu Rong bid farewell to his mother and went to the main courtyard with Fu Xuan.

When the maids said they were here, Fu Bao came out of Lin's house with a sad face and explained to the two: "My mother is not feeling well, so I want to stay with her. Let's go with the third sister and the sixth sister, and explain to Yun Yu for me."

Lin's disease?

Fu Rong hurriedly said, "When did my aunt get sick? We didn't hear the letter, so bring us in and take a look." My mother has the ability, except for the first few days when she was going to come here to have dinner with the old lady, she quickly made the old lady "heartache" them and told them to go over and sit in the daytime and there was no need to settle for the morning and evening every day. Therefore, if something happened to the main house, they would not get news immediately.

Fu Bao led them in.

In the inner room with bright windows, Lin was lying on the bed, his face pale, and Fu Ding's wife Qin Yunyue was serving her mother-in-law to drink medicine.

"Auntie." Fu Rong walked over and asked with concern, "What's wrong with you?"

Lin shook his head and smiled bitterly: "I'm an old problem, it's fine to rest for two days, it's not a problem. You can go and play, don't take it to heart, and you don't have to ask your mother if you look back. I'm so embarrassed."

Fu Rong felt confused after hearing this.

She and her sister really went to the General's Mansion, but Fu Bao didn't go. The Qin family would definitely ask, when they learned that Lin was sick, Fu Bao stayed in the Marquis' Mansion to serve his mother, but their two nieces went out happily to visit. What would the Qin family think about the upbringing of the second house's daughter?

Fu Bao thought of such a simple truth, and it was impossible for Lin to understand it for so many years.

Could it be that Lin wants to ruin their reputation?

Thinking of this, Fu Rong said worriedly: "My aunt is ill in bed, so we have no time to play. Please take care of yourself. Let's go back and tell your mother that she will come to see you." While speaking, he secretly observed every subtle expression of Lin.

To her surprise, Lin's plan was not disappointed, but instead seemed to be relieved.

Fu Rong was a little confused. Could it be that Lin's words were wrong and asked them to go out for fun, and actually hoped that they would stay at home?

Qin Yunyu got close to them before, but he didn't feel unhappy when he saw Lin. Now he stopped them from going to the general's mansion. What's the point?

Fu Rong couldn't figure it out for a while, so he said a few words of concern and politeness, and led his sister back to the East Courtyard.

"Mom, look, am I thinking too much?" Fu Rong told his mother in a simplified manner.

Qiao frowned and asked Fu Xuan: "Xuanxuan also feels this way?"

Fu Xuan nodded: "It's indeed a bit weird."

The mother and daughter were thinking secretly. Lan Xiang came back and said to Fu Rong: "Miss, I've inquired. There is nothing abnormal about the Marquis' Mansion in the past two days."

Fu Rong looked at his mother.

Qiao thought for a while and said, "No matter what she is trying to do, we can live whatever we should do. You go back to the house to play, I'll go over and take a look."

The Qin family had a good relationship with Xu Jin and was worried that they would see Xu Jin at the General's Mansion. Fu Rong didn't really want to go, so he went back to the room to tease Tuantuan. After all, he was confused. Fu Rong asked curiously again during lunch. Qiao shook his head and said, "I didn't find out, forget it, don't care about her."

Even my mother didn't notice anything, probably because she was thinking too much, right?

Fu Rong lowered his head and had a meal with peace of mind.

Qiao just thought that her daughter was thinking about going out for fun, and said with a smile: "It's okay, I can't go out today. Tomorrow my mother will take you to Feng Laiyi. Last time I said I wouldn't go, but I will never go back on my word. By the way, I will choose a good face for your sister to add a dowry."

Fu Rong guessed that his mother had misunderstood, but she could buy jewelry. Why was Fu Rong unhappy?

The next day, the mother and daughter took the carriage to Feng Laiyi.

As the most famous jewelry building in the capital, Fenglaiyi’s style is beyond Ruyizhai’s style, with magnificent furnishings and jewels everywhere.

Fu Rong was so dazzled that when the princess and daughter of the county princess came over, she was stunned for a while before she was sure that she had really read the wrong person.

Qiao had already stepped forward and greeted him warmly: "When did you arrive in the capital?"

The Princess of the County is a cold beauty. She looks a bit resistant to people. In fact, she is quite friendly when speaking. At least she felt this way before Fu Rong married her in her previous life. For example, at this time, the Princess of the County first saw Qiao's mother and daughter coming to greet her, "I went to Beijing yesterday morning. It was a coincidence that I met an old friend from Xindu so soon."

Everyone moved to the private room to visit.

Xu Xi didn't like Fu Rong, but she didn't dare to show rudeness in front of her mother, so she just glared at Fu Rong quietly. Fu Rong was lazy to pay attention to her, pretending that she didn't see her, and listened to her mother talking to the county princess with a smile.

When asked why he came to Beijing this time, the county princess smiled and said, "Xi'er's grandmother celebrated her birthday at the end of the month. I wonder when my wife will leave Beijing? If you are not in a hurry, you can also come to the Duke's Mansion to gather at the end of the month."

When Qiao heard this, she suddenly realized that Lin stopped her daughter from going to the general's mansion because she was afraid that her daughter would hear the news from there and that she would pester her mother and daughter?

Showing a flattered smile, Qiao responded happily: "That's good. Now we mother and daughter are going to open our eyes and make a lot of public announcement. Why don't you thank the empress?"

Fu Rong and Fu Xuan quickly got up and saluted.

The princess of the county nodded, exchanged a few greetings, and led Xu Xi away.

Fu Rong asked his mother with a funny look: "Isn't you in a hurry to go home?"

Qiao glanced out the window and sneered, "What's the hurry? I'm determined not to let me show my face, but I don't let her do it."

At the Duke of Qingguo Mansion and Princess Yongning's birthday party, almost all the noble ladies in the capital will be present. She is the mother of five children, and she doesn't care about this little face, but her 14-year-old is in her great years, so she might have the eyes of a noble person? No one else mentioned that the princess of the county is so kind, so the prince Xu Yan is quite good.
