Bright Moonlit Night

Since Fu Ming was invited to participate in a literary conference, his reputation gradually spread in the capital.Compared with his reputation that was tarnished intentionally or unintentionally in the past, the people who praised him this time were all celebrities in Beijing, who said that he was quite talented, gentle and elegant, and he was really worthy of friendship.

One day when the court was under court, a colleague called Jin Yi and said with a smile: "Your son-in-law is famous all over the capital, Mr. Jin is so lucky!"

Jin Yihui smiled slightly, but didn't say much, took his leave and turned to leave.But there was a rippling in his heart: Mr. Fu, who is being talked about by outsiders, is really the one in Fangman Court?

And these words gradually spread to the boudoir, even the old lady and Ren Lan heard about it.Some of Renlan's boudoir friends also hoped to meet this Mr. Fu through Renlan, but it was inconvenient after all, so they had to regret it.Ren Lan told her elder brother about this, and she said jokingly: "Brother Ming is so popular, elder brother don't want to be pregnant without knowing it!"

Jin didn't know whether to laugh or cry this time, so he had to pass it vaguely.

Soon, this hot June has withered with the lotus.July is hot, and the hot weather is gradually turning cooler.

At this moment, the old lady fell ill.As a man, Fu Ming is inconvenient to serve.With Renlan, Wang Shi, and Xinyue around, there is no need to go to stand guard and occupy land every day.But this time, he was not idle anymore, because the old lady entrusted Zhaoyan to him, and formally asked him to educate Zhaoyan in front of Jin Yi and others.

Fu Ming knew very well that this was the old lady's great trust in him, and Jin Yijing had no objection, Ren Lan even recognized it, this family has been testing him quietly, did they finally approve of him?

Regardless of the personal relationship between Fu Ming and his husband, at least, he has already established his due position in the matter of raising the great-grandson of the Jin family.Fu Ming feels that the responsibility is heavy, but he doesn't reject it, because he needs such a responsibility and likes to get along with Zhao Yan.

Since then, Zhaoyan stayed longer and longer in Fangman's court, and Fu Ming paid more attention to the upbringing of Zhaoyan's behavior and character.Although Fu Ming is now stricter than before, Zhao Yan is a smart boy, and he knows that Fu Ming's change is actually for his own good.Occasionally, he lost his child's temper. Although Fu Ming criticized him, he still explained the matter to him in a good voice afterwards, treating him as a sensible adult, which made him convinced.The things they did together before, such as lectures, gardening flowers, games, etc., Fu Ming will still take Zhao Yan to do it, and Zhao Yan is more trusting and intimate with Fu Ming.

And Jin Yi, because of Zhao Yan, came to Fangman Court a lot more times.Occasionally, he would eat at Fangmanting.

At the dining table, Zhao Yan sat in the middle, and Fu Ming and Jin Yi sat on both sides of him, picking up some dishes for him from time to time, and urging him to eat more.It was Zhaoyan's first time eating with the two of them. He suddenly put down the bowl and chopsticks while eating, looked left and right, his eyes gradually became moist.

"What's the matter, did you eat too spicy food?" Fu Ming asked softly with a handkerchief to wipe his tears.

Zhao Yan shook his head, sniffed, and said in a low voice: "Yan'er is not uncomfortable, yes, he is very happy."

Although the elders have always treated him very well, and the old lady took good care of him growing up, but he lost his mother since childhood, and he is not without regrets in his heart.Today, this shortcoming seems to have been strangely compensated. His immature and extremely sensitive heart has become sour and soft, and he can't help crying when he moves lightly.

Fu Ming was the first to react. He touched Zhaoyan's head, didn't say much, just took another chopstick of Zhaoyan's favorite steamed fish, carefully picked out the spines, dipped it in sauce, and put it in Zhaoyan's bowl.

Perhaps because he lost his parents since childhood, Fu Mingyou can understand Zhao Yan's feelings.He suddenly remembered that it was not only him, but also Jin Yi.There is no difference between them in the lack of family affection.

Since I have to live my life with regrets, why not make this little guy around me more fulfilling?

Maybe Jin Yi also had the same thoughts, so every one or two days, he would have dinner with Fu Ming and Zhao Yan at Fangmanting.And Fangmanting's cook was indeed better than the cooks in his own yard, and his appetite had improved a lot recently.

Now it's an eventful autumn, and the yamen is busy with affairs. Even the military officers who used to be relatively idle began to leave early and return late.The time for Jin Yi to return to Jin's Mansion was delayed a bit, even so, Zhao Yan was still willing to wait for his father to come back before eating.Fu Ming asked the cook to cook a cup of soup every afternoon. After Zhao Yan drank the soup, he didn't have to wait for someone to eat with a hungry stomach.The old lady heard Xinyue talk about this while she was ill, she nodded and said comfortingly: "Although he is a man, he is also careful."

Xinyue smiled and said: "The old lady has a good eye for people."

The old lady patted Xinyue's hand and sighed: "You are also a good boy, it's just that he is too stubborn to persuade you, and I have wronged you."

Xinyue shook her head, "Being able to stay in Jin's mansion is already a great blessing for the servant. The first wife trusted the servant and let the servant follow the master. In fact, the servant knows that the first wife is worried about the slave and the young master. The slave does not need anything Fame, to be able to watch the young master grow up in this mansion, live up to the entrustment of the first wife, and I will be satisfied."

The old lady coughed a few times, and then smiled: "If you can figure it out for yourself, you will feel better. Don't worry, Chang Jie is not an ignorant person, and the Jin family will not treat you badly."

Xinyue nodded, holding her back for the old lady, and asked her gently what she would like to eat today...

In Fangman Court, although Jin Yi was exhausted, he still cheered up and played a game of chess with Zhao Yan.Recently, Zhaoyan learned how to play chess with Fu Ming. As soon as he became familiar with the chessboard and the rules, he was eager to learn from his father.Jin Yi is not good at chess, but compared to a novice boy, he is still much smarter, and he quickly defeated Zhao Yan.

Zhao Yan threw the chess piece unhappily and said, "I don't want to play anymore, playing chess with Daddy is better than playing chess with Uncle Ming!" At least Fu Ming would teach him step by step and let him go.

Jin Yi said with a cold face: "You were the first to issue the challenge. If you lose, you will be able to afford to lose. You are so angry, how can you have the slightest manly demeanor?"

Hearing this, Zhaoyan became even more angry, and a little guilty, so he kept silent.

Fu Ming came over, put his arms around Zhao Yan and said: "Yan'er go back to rest with the nanny first, it's very late today, if you don't sleep, you won't be able to get up tomorrow. When you go back to take a bath, think about the current situation, figured it out, Let's talk about it tomorrow, shall we?"

Zhao Yan nodded and said goodbye, and the wet nurse hurried forward to take Zhao Yan away.

It's rare that Jin Yi didn't intend to go together.

Fu Ming didn't see off the guests either, he simply brewed a cup of calming tea and put it on the table next to his seat, and asked, "Mind if I play a piece of music?"

Jin Yi shook his head, "You do what you want."

Fu Ming walked to the piano table and sat down. Lu Fei came up and steamed the fragrant cakes made of fruit trees and flowers in the incense burner.The sound of the zither turned into spring water, which came from the stream, and a maple leaf floated on it, and the water flowed over the slippery rocks... The water gradually calmed down, as if it had come to the forest, the moonlight melted, and a few bird songs also splashed into the water, The lingering sound was gently blown away by the breeze...

Jin Yi fell asleep unconsciously, and when he woke up again, Fu Ming was still playing, but it was a different tune, a little cheerful, which woke him up from his dream.

Seeing him get up, Fu Ming stopped playing, and said: "It's cold at night, master, let's go back to sleep."

Jin Yi asked, "Which song did you play first?"

Fu Ming smiled lightly, "I played impromptu. Obviously it's not good, I fell asleep listening to it."

Jin Yi shook his head, "The song is a good one, if you think of a name, let me know."

Fu Ming nodded in agreement.

Jin Yi couldn't say much, but said again: "Then I'll go first, and you should rest earlier."

"Yes. Master, go slowly." Fu Ming turned back, and said to Lu Fei, "Go get two lanterns, one in front and one behind, to send Master back."

Fu Ming originally wanted to say that the moonlight outside was bright enough that there was no need to carry a lamp to illuminate the road, but he suddenly didn't want to take away Fu Ming's kindness, so he silently agreed.Before leaving, he took a few fragrant cakes from Fu Ming back. They were the fragrant cakes that were steaming on the incense stand next to Fu Ming when he was playing the piano just now.But Fu Ming didn't say that he developed this incense together with the maids in the house. Perhaps, in the eyes of the majestic Mr. Jin, this is after all unworthy of the stage.

The night was already cool, and Jin Yi walked unhurriedly along the road illuminated by the candles in the lantern. Halfway through, he raised his head sharply, seeing the sky and the moon were bright.Ming is that person's name, and it is as clear and penetrating as his eyes.
