Bright Moonlit Night

Fu Ming got Jin Yi's gesture, and at Zhao Yan's request, he rearranged the original small courtyard for him, partly following Zhao Yan's own wishes, partly according to Fu Ming's aesthetics, and both of them were quite satisfied with the final result .

Jin Yi checked and accepted the results when he went to lecture Zhaoyan, and he also admired this cozy little house full of childishness but not messy, so he asked Bai Lu to pick out a few things and send them to Fangmanting. The next day, the old man The wife also gave something.

Aunt Wang was moved when she heard the news, and she also showed her identity as the person in charge, prepared a thank you gift and delivered it to the door in person, but her attitude remained the same as before.Fu Ming accepted the gift with a smile, and was not very polite, and dismissed him lukewarmly.

It is late spring and early summer, and the weather is already warm.Fu Ming fanned the stove, ready to boil water for a cup of seasonal tea, and put a few peonies in the clean and clear white porcelain vases on the flower stand. The vases were plain but colorful.For a long time, Fu Ming's eyes extended from his small courtyard, as if he saw the huge world covered by many high walls.

Fu Ming asked Lu Fei to pass a message to Bai Lu: If you are free recently, I hope you can have a chat with Fang.

It's not because Fu Ming doesn't know the rules, and if he wants to see someone, he needs someone else to come to the door in person, but because he thinks that there may be Aunt Wang or Xinyue and others in other places, and it would be an eyesore to go by himself.Besides, with Zhaoyan coming here often, Jin Yi can choose an early day to go home, and just chat with himself when he comes to pick up his son.

But Jin Yi chose to take a holiday and came to Fangmanting before noon.

Without any foresight, Fu Ming was leading all the maidservants in the yard to tend the flowers and weeds, with his sleeves rolled up high, his hands covered in mud, he stood up together, raised his head, and said, "Su Xiu, give me the flower hoe over there. "

This hand stretched out straight to Jin Yi.

Fu Ming was surprised and embarrassed. Jin Yi's expression remained unchanged, and he handed him the flower hoe. Fu Mingqiang calmed down and loosened the soil with the flower hoe seemingly calmly and calmly. He even sprinkled the plants with water, and let him Xie Lan tidied herself up, and then went back to the house to see Jin Yi who was invited in by Lu Fei and was drinking tea.

Before Fu Ming could make any actions or words in the future, Jin asked bluntly, "What do you want from me?"

Fu Ming had no choice but to perform a simple salute, sat down beside him, and replied: "Master, you just saw that I have nothing to do all day long in this mansion, and now that the weather is getting warmer, I want to go out for a walk."

The folk customs of this dynasty were liberal, and women could also go out. After getting married, if the husband's family wanted to, they could still go out occasionally to see the scenery and go shopping in the market.As a man, Fu Ming should not be detained at home.But he didn't want to go out without authorization, so as not to give people a hard time.

Jin Yi replied to him: "Send someone to ask about these things later." The implication is, don't waste my precious time.

"Yes." Fu Ming replied, and said again, "If it's possible, I hope the Lord will promise me that I will have the opportunity to go out three times a month."

Three times, a little more, but Jin Yi immediately nodded in agreement.Fu Ming felt a little happy, and thanked him with a smile.

"Is there anything else?"

This time, Fu Ming thought it over before replying: "Although the child is five years old, he started learning calligraphy and reading, but recently I found that Yan'er is really talented, and he is smarter than ordinary children, so I want to teach him to play once in a while." Read some books and write some words from time to time. You are the father of the child, and it is up to you to decide."

Jin Yi was quite surprised by this remark. After thinking for a while, he said: "For regular studies, there will be a family teacher in charge at home. If it is true as you said, Yan'er will arrange formal study time in the future. If he comes Here, it’s okay if you teach him, but you are only allowed to teach orthodox knowledge, and those romantic poems must not be involved.”

"Merry poetry?"

"I heard that Mr. Fu is good at pouring and singing in a low voice, and he is quite famous. The Jin family does not advocate such romantic affairs. Mr. Fu will go out in the future, please pay more attention. I don't care what happens outside. If these things get offended Jin's mansion can't be kind."

Fu Ming was speechless for a while, and after a moment of silence, the corners of his lips curled up slightly, but his eyes were slightly fixed, and his tone was slightly cold: "I understand."

"If there is nothing else, I will leave now." Jin Yi stood up.

"I'm the one who bothered you today. I will definitely pay more attention in the future. It's better to leave."

After Jin Yi left, Lu Fei, who was waiting on the side, sighed in her heart: Although the whole family can't be affectionate, please don't be so indifferent and polite!When will such a day end?Is the young master going to be so wronged for the rest of his life?

Although Jin Yi's words cast a stone in Fu Ming's heart and caused a few ripples, they soon calmed down again.The next day, he packed up and went out with a servant named Bai Hua from the Jin residence.The Duke's Mansion is going out with a serious master, and there is only such a follower, which is really shabby, but even if Fu Ming didn't have a companion, he wouldn't bother, he felt more comfortable with fewer people, so it was half a thing. Make do with half is to go to the lively place in a relaxed and happy manner.

It's been a long time since I've been in the market, the streets are bustling with people and bustling, but Fu Ming feels a little strange.This time, he didn't go to Goulan Washing House, nor did he go shopping for cultural relics and antiques, or go shopping in the book market. Even the overcrowded street corners and tea fights didn't stop him.He walked all the way through the streets and alleys, walking for nearly an hour.

Bai Hua watched the sun getting brighter and brighter above his head, wiped the sweat from his forehead, and asked, "Master Ming, why don't you hire a car for me?"

Fu Ming said: "No need, I want to take a walk outside more. If you feel tired, go to a tea stand and have a bowl of tea and wait for me."

Bai Hua shook his head hurriedly, "Where are you going? The little one will follow you."

"It's almost there." Fu Ming smiled and pointed to the corner ahead, "It's just under the big tree."

Bai Hua followed his instructions and said in surprise, "Sales Bureau? What are you doing here?"

"Come and see the old friends."

The former young master of the Fu family, now the husband of the Jin family, actually came to the Salesian Bureau to visit old friends?Bai Hua was puzzled, "Is he the person in charge here?" That must be an official from Zhima Xiao, not even an official.

Fu Ming didn't answer this time, but just stepped forward, and Bai Hua hurriedly followed.

The guard at the door obviously recognized Fu Ming. Seeing him coming, he hurriedly opened the door for him, and greeted him with a smile, "Mr. Fu, I haven't seen you for a long time."

Fu Ming smiled back: "It's been a long time, how is the game going?"

"It's all good. It was a cold spring some time ago, and a few frail children got sick, and Doctor Fang cured them with a few doses of medicine."

"Is Uncle Fang still here?"

"I left half a month ago. I said I've been waiting for you for a long time, so I won't wait anymore. I'm going to catch up with the late spring in the south of the Yangtze River."

Fu Ming felt a little regretful when he heard the words, but this time he came and had more important matters, so he didn't exchange too many pleasantries, and went directly to see the person in charge of the bureau, Sun Zangyong.

When he left, Sun Zangyong was reconciling the accounts. Seeing Fu Ming coming, he hurriedly put down the account book and came forward with a bright smile, "Brother Ming! I've seen someone today!"

"Uncle Sun, I'm sorry, it's been so long since I came to visit."

"I'm sorry, Uncle Sun knows it all. I'm overjoyed if you can come."

"I haven't been here for a long time. I don't know what the children are lacking, so I didn't ask for it. You keep the money and add some to them." Fu Ming handed over a swollen money bag.

Sun Zangyong didn't answer, but only asked: "You are in Jin's residence now, do you have a lot of money?"

Fu Ming smiled and said: "The Jin family has never treated me badly in terms of money, and the monthly ratio is more than when I was in the Fu family. So you can accept this little favor for the children."

Sun Zang took Fu Ming's purse after hearing the words, looked at the embroidery on it, and said with a smile, "Ms. Qian Lan embroidered it, you are willing to do such exquisite embroidery?"

"She knew I was coming today, so she changed it on purpose. The little fairy in the bureau likes it. You give it to her and let her try it."

"Little Xian'er is blessed! But, don't you go to see the children in person today?"

Fu Ming shook his head, with a slightly apologetic expression, "This is the first time I've gone out since Jin's mansion, I have to go shopping, and I have to go back early. Next time I go out, I will come again."

"That's right. Come back next time, I'll make tea for you."

"I haven't enjoyed the tea soup made by Uncle Sun himself for a long time, and I can't wait!"

"Then Brother Ming, you should think about it first, and you can come back sooner. The children miss you very much!"

Fu Ming nodded, although he was reluctant to give up, he had no choice but to leave for the time being.

Come and go quietly, the children who are learning and playing in the backyard are not aware of it.

Although Bai Hua was full of doubts, he didn't dare to ask more questions, but Fu Ming told him first: "After you go back, don't tell others about my coming here."

Bai Hua nodded yes.

On the way back, Fu Ming quickened his pace. Although he was nostalgic for the bustling and lively scene around him, he didn't linger. He only shopped in a few specific shops and almost spent all the monthly money he had accumulated. Ask Bai Hua to hire a car and go back to the house in the setting sun.

Today, after dinner, the masters in several rooms received a gift from Fang Manting.

What the old lady received was a round fan, which was quite exquisite in workmanship, and the picture was painted on the silk surface, which was painted by a famous painter today. The price is more expensive.Qingfeng replied to Lufei, the old lady liked it, so it was worth the money.

What Jin Yi received was also a fan, but it was a folding fan. There was no painting on it, but a line of writing: "One Sword of Frost and Cold Fourteen States".The fan was bought, with bamboo bone paper surface, but each piece of bamboo bone is even and smooth, and it has been polished very well. There are dark lines on the paper surface, which seem to be natural paper lines, but they have their own style.Fu Ming liked it when he saw it, declined the kindness of the shopkeeper to help with the inscription, and wrote the ink himself, winning applause from all the halls.

After Jin Yi received the gift, he didn't reply.Later, I heard the news from Xie Lan that after the summer, this fan was often used by my grandfather, and it seemed to suit him.

Zhaoyan received a Mohele, which was somewhat similar to the one on Fu Ming's shelf, but it was a little less weird and more cute and cute. Zhaoyan liked it so much that he hugged it and slept for several nights.

Lian Renlan also received a gift from Lufei, a box of pottery ornaments, all of which are raccoon slaves, with different colors and postures, all of which are lifelike and extremely cute.

Because of this little raccoon slave, Fang Manting welcomed the second guest besides Zhao Yan who came to the door on his own initiative.

The author has something to say:

Sun Zangyong, head of the Salesian Bureau, alias Ziqian.
