Bright Moonlit Night

The birds that are not afraid of the cold spring and return early chirp happily to the early sun on the branches, waiting to build their nests with mud.Fu Ming, who was still sleepy, stared at the room full of Hong Yan for a moment, before realizing where he was.

According to the etiquette, he should go with his husband to offer tea to the elders today.Jin Yi is the same as him, both parents are dead, now only grandmother and uncle are in charge.The grandmother is alive, but the uncle is bedridden all the year round.

The Jin family is even thinner than the Fu family. Although it bears the name of Sui Guogong's mansion, with the death of Sui Guogong and the decline of descendants, the power has long been weak.Because of this, when the prince's group made a move to prevent Jin Yi, who had passed his filial piety, and matched himself with him, he was powerless to resist.Thinking about it this way, Fu Ming slightly understood why Jin Yi treated him so coldly.

Husband is ruthless, and Lang has no intentions. I am afraid that there will be no good results between the two of them.When Fu Ming was washing up, he sighed slightly in his heart—this day is just about to begin, and I really don't know when the ice melts and the snow melts.

After washing, Xie Lan fetched the coat, which was the plain style that Fu Ming loved to wear at home in the past. Lu Fei looked at it, shook her head and said: "This one is not good, my son is newly married, so you have to dress richly, otherwise you will be criticized."

Xie Lan looked at Fu Ming, and Fu Ming also said, "Listen to Lu Fei, and get another one."

Fu Ming seldom wears colorful clothes, but he has a fair complexion and handsome features, even though he wears colorful clothes, he doesn't look vulgar, after Yan Lan and Lu Fei dressed him up, they both smiled and said, "My lord, you look good no matter what you wear. "

Fu Ming looked at himself in the standing mirror, wearing a jade crown and a fine attire, and seemed to think of something, he couldn't help but smile slightly, then turned around and asked, "Is anyone here to send a message?"

Xie Lan replied: "Up to now, no one has been in this courtyard."

Fu Ming said, "Let's have breakfast first."

Lu Fei ordered the little girls waiting outside to bring porridge into the soup, and she and Xie Lan served Fu Ming's meals together. Judging from the porridge soup and the matching dishes, the Jin family did not treat Fu Ming badly in terms of food, at least these comparisons When he was in the Fu family, he was more refined and rich.

While eating, someone sent a message from outside, saying that he asked Mr. Ming to stay after dinner, so that the master would come later.

After the meal, Fu Ming rinsed his mouth, sat down and drank tea slowly.After a cup of tea, Jin Yi really came.Unlike Fu Ming, who was brightly dressed, Jin Yi was wearing a dark blue coat, and the two stood at the same place, quite mismatched.But Jin Yi didn't intend to change clothes by himself or ask Fu Ming to change clothes, he just said lightly: "Come with me to greet the old lady." After speaking, he walked away first.

Fu Ming had no choice but to keep up.The two were not side by side, one in front of the other, separated by two or three steps, and came to the old lady's room without speaking to each other.

Yesterday's wedding was hectic, and Fu Ming hadn't had time to take a good look at the Duke's mansion in the future. He had just walked all the way, and Jin Yi walked faster, so he had to hurry up to keep up. , all kinds of rare antiques, calligraphy and paintings of celebrities are all rare and excellent products. We know that although the Jin family is different from the past, it is still not a second- and third-rate official family like the Fu family, but a real hairpin tassel. Wealthy family.

Not daring to look around, Fu Ming and Jin Yi greeted the old lady after a hasty look. Then he knelt down and waited for the maid to bring tea. He held the tea with both hands and respected the old lady.

The old lady took the tea, took a sip and put it back on the tea tray, her tone was indifferent: "Get up, sit down."

A chair was temporarily moved and placed beside Jin Yi, and Fu Ming sat down.

At this time, the girl and the boy who were sitting on the kang next to the old lady on the left and right also got up at the same time and walked to him.

The girl is the daughter of Jin Yi's uncle, her name is Renlan, she wears a yellow dress and a blue dress, she is fresh and charming, her eyes have just opened, and she has shown some potential for beauty. She salutes Jin Yi and Fu Ming and calls Jin Yi "big brother" ", calling Fu Ming "Brother Ming".

Lu Fei hurriedly brought the meeting gift, Fu Ming took it with both hands, it was a set of green jade jewelry, he said to Ren Lan: "It's a small gift, not comparable to the ones my sister usually wears, give it to my sister to play with."

Ren Lan picked it up in person, and said with a slight smile: "Brother Ming, you are welcome, thank you for your generous gift." Then she handed it to her maid, Cairui.

The boy was born to Jin Yi and his ex-wife. Jin's ex-wife Zhou died of illness shortly after giving birth to his son. Jin thought that the three-year mourning period for his wife was longer than the etiquette system.Except for Wang Ningxue who was raised by the old lady as his aunt in his room since he was a child, and a dowry girl named Xinyue entrusted to him by the Zhou family before his death, Jin Yi had no one around these years.Not to mention the people outside, it is these two people. I heard that Jin Yi has never been really close in the past three years, which shows the deep relationship between him and his wife.

Jin Yi's eldest son, Jin Zhaoyan, is less than four years old this year. He is cute and cute. He is not as polite as Yan Lan. He threw himself to Jin Yi's side, hugged his left leg, raised his head and called out repeatedly: "Daddy, Daddy, Yan'er ate two bowls of minced meat rice this morning!"

Jin Yi gently pushed him away, seeming to scold him but his tone was not very serious: "How old are you, and you still don't understand the rules like this."

Zhao Yan was not afraid, but still let go, stood up straight, bowed to Jin Yi, and called respectfully: "Father." Looking at Fu Ming again, his brows were slightly frowned. He didn't know how to address him, so he was a little distressed .

"From now on, Yan'er will call Brother Ming uncle." The old lady said.

In terms of emotion and reason, it seems inappropriate to call him this way. Fu Ming is now Jin Yilang's son-in-law, but calling him "uncle" is a different layer.But the old lady opened her mouth to express her opinion, and no one refused.Zhaoyan bowed to Fu Ming and said, "Uncle Ming."

Fu Ming responded, and Lu Fei also prepared gifts for him. These are some toys that are very popular among children nowadays, and they are more exquisite than those sold in the market. There are houses and boats, a small set of silver and gold swords, guns, swords and halberds.Zhao Yan saw it and liked it very much. After thanking him, he hurriedly let Liu Xing, his accompanying maid, take the box of toys, and the two went aside to play.

Seeing that Fu Ming was interested, the old lady seemed to remember that she should also give Fu Ming a tea ceremony, so she winked at Qing Fen, a maid standing behind her, Qing Fen understood, and went inside to hold a small sandalwood box out.

The old lady said to Fu Ming: "This is an ancient inkstone. It was carved by a scholar surnamed Xu in the previous dynasty. I don't really understand it, but it has some origins. No one in my family makes it. It has been kept in the cabinet for many years. Listen. Saying that you are capable of poetry and painting, it would not be a waste to give this to you.” The Jin family started out with martial arts, and their education for their children is better than martial arts, so these literati utensils are often neglected at home.

Fu Ming's heart moved slightly, he stepped forward, bowed slightly, took it with his own hands, and said, "Thank you, old lady, for cherishing the gift."

"Okay. I'm tired too, you all go away." The old lady waved her hand, and everyone left one by one.

After leaving the old lady's courtyard, Ren Lan nodded to her two elder brothers and Zhao Yan, and then went to her own room.

Zhao Yan tugged at the corner of Jin Yi's clothes and asked, "Father, will you come and give me a lecture today?"

Jin Yi nodded and said: "I'll go at night. You eat well in the future, and I'll tell you more."

Zhaoyan smiled and said: "Okay, okay, Yan'er must eat well, and Daddy needs to spend more time with Yan'er." After speaking, he turned to look at Fu Ming and asked, "Can Uncle Ming speak books?"

"What book?" Fu Ming asked.

"Daddy told me stories about the ancients. There are gods, dutiful sons, loyal ministers, and great generals who killed the enemy. But let the flying generals of Dragon City stay, and don't teach Huma to go to Yinshan Mountain! Does Uncle Ming know about this?"

Fu Ming smiled, "I know a little bit."

"Then when daddy can't spare his birth, can Uncle Ming come and lecture to Yan'er?"

Fu Ming looked at Jin Yi, but Jin Yi didn't make a statement, as if he wanted to make up his mind, Fu Ming smiled and replied to Zhao Yan: "Yes, Uncle Ming has time, he can teach Yan'er."

Zhao Yan clapped his hands and laughed, "Then Yan'er goes to see Uncle Ming every afternoon after a short rest?"

Fu Ming nodded, half-jokingly said: "Waiting for you anytime."

"Okay, it's time for you to go to morning class." Jin Yi said and looked at the nanny, who hurriedly stepped forward to grab Zhaoyan's hand and led him away.

Zhao Yan still turned around and called out: "Father, Uncle Ming, don't forget what you said!"

Fu Ming watched Zhao Yan's figure disappear at the corner of the corridor with a smile.Footsteps sounded behind him, but he didn't turn his head. When he turned his head, Jin Yi had gone far.

He didn't even say hello, and he was even less polite than Ren Lan and Zhao Yan.In fact, how could one not be polite?It's just, don't care, or just ignore it on purpose.

Fu Ming shook his head, and led Lu Fei back to his Fangman Court.The name of the hospital was temporarily taken by himself.This morning he saw a stone inscribed in the courtyard, but it was empty. After asking the servants, he found out that many courtyards in the mansion were rebuilt later. Not long after the remodeling, the mansion suffered a series of changes, so it has been vacant all the time, and no one has asked to take it away. name matter.Hearing this, Fu Ming thought that since it was the yard he lived in, it would be okay to name it for the time being. He glanced roughly out of the window a few times. It is a land full of green shade, bright flowers and willows, so it is called "Fang Man Ting".

The three of them stepped into Fangman Court, and a little girl came up to greet them and said, "Young Master Ming, Aunt Wang and Miss Xinyue come to pay their respects."
