Heshen is a strict wife
Chapter 49 The eldest son
On the first day of the twelfth lunar month in the 40th year of Qianlong, He Shen took a piece of "Fu" written by the emperor himself and came back to frame it, and hung it in the middle hall. Seeing that the Spring Festival was approaching, the palace was also lively.After all, this is a whole year, and the emperor is still happy. He has not been in power for a short time, and the weather is smooth, and things are prosperous and the people are prosperous.
Although Feng Shuangzhi's belly is getting bigger, he still plans to celebrate the first decent New Year's Day in the family. He asks the maids to prepare Spring Festival couplets and door gods.
New Year's Day counts from midnight on New Year's Eve, and the courtyard is already lively on New Year's Eve. Those with family members who have finished their own tasks are put back by Feng Shuangzhi, and those who are no longer lonely stay Accompany Feng Shuangzhi to celebrate the New Year together.
It was rare for Helin not to practice martial arts today, but to help Feng Shuangzhi write Spring Festival couplets here. Looking at her chubby belly, she couldn't help but joked with her sister-in-law: "Today, Helin is here to make a fool of herself and write Spring Festival couplets. Compared with my sister-in-law, my eldest nephew will laugh at me later."
Feng Shuangzhi couldn't help laughing out loud, just picked up a pen and wrote the word "Fu" and turned it upside down, saying: "You are only good at martial arts, and you are good at both civil and military, how can you compare with me, a woman?" You are so narrow-minded, he will only laugh at you later."
Helin's personality is completely different from his brother's, probably because one is civil and the other martial, so one is restrained and the other is outgoing, right?
Feng Shuangzhi only smiled slightly, seeing He Lin's and He Shen's faces were seven to eight points similar, and remembered the matter of proposing marriage again.After she gave birth to the child, she should really think about things with Lin.
At that time, He Shen had everything done, and no one dared to look down on their family.
Thinking of the end of the year, Feng Shuangzhi sent someone to send some things to the old house to save face, but He Lin didn't say anything. It's not that they are not responsible for the life of the old house. All the money was handed over to the emissary over there, and those aunts had no intention of fighting since Chang Bao died.The last time Ma Jiashi sold Heshen's imperial examination for several thousand taels of silver, Feng Shuangzhi hadn't pursued it with her, so she must have dared not shamelessly come forward.
It's just that she is He Shen's stepmother in name, so she can't be too shabby.
The whole morning was spent writing Spring Festival couplets, and He Shen came back at noon, and when he took off the hat, it was full of snowflakes.
The courtyard was covered with dense snow, only the bluestone road was swept away. He glanced at the Spring Festival couplets and asked, "Is it finished?"
Feng Shuangzhi smiled: "I will write to you if the door is left."
He Lin also laughed: "If my brother doesn't come back, how can my sister-in-law and I dare to write?"
This is something left to the head of the family. He Shen just came out of the palace and received a bunch of rewards. After this year, it will be a new year.
Hanging the cloak on the side, He Shen rubbed his wrist, walked up, picked up a pen and thought for a while, and said: "The coming year should not be publicized."
You still have to keep a low profile.
When He Shen said this, there was a smile on his lips.
Feng Shuangzhi and He Lin watched from the sidelines, they naturally understood the meaning of this sentence - it is not appropriate to make publicity in the coming year.
He Shen's luck suddenly rose in the second half of this year, and it will rise even higher next year, but he has to be more careful when writing Spring Festival couplets.
In the end, what He Shen wrote down was indeed a fairly ordinary couplet, "Heshun has Baifu, and the word Ping'an is worth a thousand gold", but the horizontal comment was "Vientiane renewal".
Feng Shuangzhi couldn't help but smile knowingly. This kind of spring couplets that have been hung up by ordinary people is thanks to this person who has the face to write them out. It turns out that each word is round and full, full of emotion, and it is much more than ordinary people's hanging How domineering.This year may be the happiest year, right?It will be lively in the future, and the Spring Festival will not be a good one.
There are quite a few people who come and go around these days, but Feng Shuangzhi is pregnant and is approaching the due date, so most of them are turned away. Once this year is over, everything will follow.
There are hundreds of blessings in Heshun, and the word "Ping An" is worth a thousand gold.
Such couplets were pasted on both sides of the gate of Hefu. Feng Shuangzhi and He Shen stood outside and instructed Shuangfu to hang the horizontal batch in the middle. Shuanglu drove the car back from the outside.
In the afternoon, all the work was done in the kitchen. The maids and women were laughing and laughing in the yard, and He Shen hugged her in the study and watched the plum blossoms by the fire, waiting for the arrival of New Year's Eve.
Marinated chicken and bacon, goose oil soup, rice cakes, candied golden dates, diced eight-treasure rabbit, deep-fried quail, kidney bean rolls...
The whole table was full, but there was very little food, and the sound of firecrackers resounded throughout the capital after an overnight stay. Feng Shuangzhi said to watch the new year, but he was very sleepy. Go to sleep for a while, and then call her when the time comes.
Feng Shuangzhi knew that if he fell asleep, this person would not be willing to wake him up again, so he pulled himself together and dragged He Shen out of the house to watch the maids set off firecrackers.
As the saying goes, "the year is celebrated with the sound of firecrackers", and He Lin also stood there watching.Feng Shuangzhi noticed that one of the people who set off the firecrackers was his maid, who seemed to be liked by Helin very much.
Yawning lazily, Feng Shuangzhi rubbed his eyes, then heard He Shen ask: "If you are sleepy, how about I help you go to sleep?"
Feng Shuangzhi just turned around and said, "I'm afraid there won't be any new year's festivals like this year, I don't want to sleep."
She wanted to write down all this clearly, Feng Shuangzhi looked at him, and clenched his hands in his sleeves.
He Lin seemed to be having a lot of fun. He is a military commander, and he can do a lot of tricks with firecrackers. He threw the firecrackers into the sky before it went off. "Brother and sister-in-law, why are you here?"
He Shen wrapped the sable fur coat tightly around Feng Shuangzhi, trying to wrap her into a ball, and the two of them pulled the other into the middle of the yard. Because Feng Shuangzhi was pregnant, her movements seemed She is very clumsy, her hands and feet are a little swollen, and she has to rely on the massages of the maids for the past two months, and He Shen is always with her, and she can't sleep well all night long, watching Feng Shuangzhi become mellow day by day When he woke up, He Shen lost weight.
"She said she was going to watch the year, but she was about to fall asleep, so I brought her out to have a look. You guys have fun, and maybe you can drive away her drowsiness."
He Shen smiled and made a few jokes.
Feng Shuangzhi glanced at him reproachfully, but didn't say anything, just said: "I'm heavy, so it's good to watch you play."
The firecrackers were lit, and soon there was a sound, which made the whole courtyard lively. There were not many of the twenty or so servants in the mansion who went back. It became lively, and only then did they know that it was past the time, so everyone in the whole family kowtowed to Feng Shuangzhi and He Shen to pay New Year's greetings, and asked for a reward by the way.
He Shen sealed a red envelope for them by himself, stuffed with two taels of silver, and this red envelope alone could be their monthly money for several months.
When everyone got the reward, they all smiled and congratulated repeatedly, but they didn't want He Lin to come up, and bowed to the end: "The left and right maids and servants gave it to me. I wonder if my brother can ask my brother and sister-in-law for a red envelope?"
He Shen scolded with a smile: "You are also here to join in the fun, this is the only one, and there are not many."
He stuffed out a red envelope that Feng Shuangzhi had sewed by himself a few days ago, and holding it in Helin's hand, he knew that it was different from other people's and that it was his sister-in-law's handicraft, so he said a few auspicious words immediately.
Feng Shuangzhi suddenly said, "Why didn't you see Liu Quan'er?"
I always felt that something was missing today, and when I looked back, it was strange that I didn't see Liu Quan'er among such people.This kind of time to join in the fun, Liu Quan'er is indispensable.
He Shen smiled, and before he could open his mouth, he heard Liu Quan'er's movement at the gate. He only heard Liu Quan'er shouting "New Year's is here", and threw a long string of firecrackers out with a bamboo pole. Picking up, He Shen and the others flocked out to watch, and saw that everyone on this street was coming out, there were noises in and out of the courtyard, the whole world was full of fiery trees and silver flowers, and there was light everywhere, with hazy smoke.
The snowflakes were still falling one after another, but Feng Shuangzhi's eyes were already warm.
After all, she was still sleepy, leaning against He Shen's arms, and fell asleep after the sound of firecrackers was over.
He Shen chuckled secretly, at her age... it can only be said that she has waited halfway through, right?
He hugged her, who was a bit heavy, and went back to the house, but he didn't close his eyes very much. Seeing that she was sleeping soundly, he went to the study to write something, and then he came back and continued to lie down, but he went to bed again after a while. To pay New Year's greetings to Qianlong, he left before dawn.
Today, the courts usually say auspicious words. During the Chinese New Year, no one will go up and get into trouble, and everything will be delayed until the next year.
There is a rare kindness in the court. The bull-nosed Liu Yong went out of Beijing to mourn for his old father, and he only returned in March this year; Agui conquered Jinchuan, and Qianlong named him a first-class sincere and heroic man, and he was promoted to co-organize the university. The Minister of Military Aircraft and Military Aircraft is a very popular figure in the court. He said he was going to be transferred to Yunnan and Guizhou, but he has not left yet; Li Shiyao, a scholar of the Hall of Martial Arts and Minister of Military Aircraft, is still in the midst of the spring breeze, making peace with Emperor Qianlong...
Qianlong is already a gray-haired old man, and he likes this kind of lively scene the most. Taking advantage of the excitement, he said to everyone: "A year ago, I remembered that Heshen was promised a job. Today is the first month. You He officially took up the post of the right servant of the household department, but the position of the left servant is still vacant, and Fukang'an returned without incident, so he will fill the vacancy."
It was originally a happy event, but when he heard Fu Kang'an's name, He Shen felt a little strangely uncomfortable.
Over there, Fukang'an came out with him, and the two of them kowtowed to thank them and said long live a few times before stepping back.
There are six departments in the imperial court, the highest of the six departments are ministers, and the deputy ministers are all ministers. If there are two ministers, they are distinguished by left and right.The six ministries are the Ministry of Officials, the Ministry of Rites, the Ministry of Punishment, the Ministry of Industry, and the Ministry of Household War.The servant of the household department has come to this position from the second rank, He Shen, so he can be said to be a senior official.
But at this moment, Fukang'an just popped up.
Since ancient times, the left and the right have been distinguished, and the left is the respect. Heshen is the right servant, and Fukang'an is the left servant. In Qianlong's mind, it is easy to know the weight of Fukang'an and Heshen. .
He Shen retreated to the side without saying a word, and then said that Fukang'an had made great contributions. Now that he has calmed down the size of Jinchuan and has not returned to the court, he will give Fukang'an the treatment of Ziguang Pavilion.He Shen secretly glanced at the faces of the generals around him, and thought that Fukang An made quite a few enemies.
Agui is a great hero. Although he was promoted to a noble after he came back, Ziguang Pavilion is full of portraits of heroes. It can be said that it is too early for Fu Kang'an to be able to draw pictures of Ziguang Pavilion at his age.
Not only the veterans, but also Fu Heng, a bachelor, frowned. The emperor loved Fu Kang'an so much that some people didn't know what to say.After this New Year's Eve, everyone didn't say anything.
It's just that after the court, everyone turned their heads and left, and then each of them revealed their own thoughts.
Presumably Ah Gui is having an uncomfortable time this New Year's Eve.
He Shen felt a little happy, went back to the room, saw that Feng Shuangzhi was already up, so he told her this interesting story, how did he know that Feng Shuangzhi only frowned at him, and asked, "Are you unhappy?"
"Ma'am, your eyes, Zhenli." He Shen smiled.
Feng Shuangzhi held Mrs. Tang in his arms, warmed his hands, and said: "One left and one right, you are a right servant. Although you are from the second rank like the left servant, you are still a head shorter than Fu Kang'an. Even if you don't say it out of your heart, you still think in your heart that one day you will turn this situation around."
"Those who know me, Shuang Zhi also."
He Shen is not a short-sighted person, and he will not be depressed because of this small difference. He just remembers such a small difference, hoping to make a comeback in the future.
In the 41st year of Qianlong's reign, it came in the midst of heavy snow. Feng Shuangzhi looked at it from a distance, and felt that the white snow in the capital made the whole world clean.
"I'm going to visit my Mafa tomorrow. Although he is old and healthy, he is getting old after all." Feng Shuangzhi sat on the couch and said slowly, "At that time, I will have to meet with my few friends. Sisters are sitting together, if you see someone, you must hold back."
He was talking about Qian Feng and Yi Ajiang, who always wanted to go back during the Chinese New Year.
He Shen said: "When we went back in the past years, we were all blindsided. Now your husband and I are the hottest upstarts in the court, and you are the only one who gives others face."
"In front of Mafa, how can anyone say who is giving face to whom?" Feng Shuangzhi shook his head, "My eldest sister is married to Yi Ajiang, and you know who Yi Ajiang is. Those little concubines are choking on me, I'm afraid they don't have time to pay attention to me. My niece is also getting older, she seems to have seen it too? Maybe if she can give birth to another son, she will have a safe life in this life. As for the third sister... "
This is the worst.
The most important thing is that she still hasn't figured out what is going on with Feng Yunjing. She only heard that the relationship between her and Qian Feng has been cold for a long time, and she has always been in a state of "respect like ice". What is Feng Yunjing thinking now?
Feng Shuangzhi was worried about Feng Yunjing, but He Shen was worried about Qian Feng. Whenever he thought of Feng Shuangzhi and Qian Feng's meal at the same table, he felt uncomfortable, but he couldn't say it out, so he could only press his lips tightly together. , Said: "Left and right now we will go back brightly, you don't have to worry about it."
Feng Shuangzhi laughed at him: "When I went back, how did you ever see me being wronged? I am the prostitute in the mansion, how can you treat me badly?"
"..." He Shen plucked a strand of her hair that was hanging down, and sighed, "Let's talk about it when we visit relatives tomorrow."
Going back to her mother's house to visit relatives was originally a somewhat complicated matter. The Yinglian Mansion is still good. If it's other people, such as Fu Heng's Mansion, I'm afraid it will be a long time.
Feng Shuangzhi's left and right are just a few relatives. His parents' family is in decline. Far away in Fujian, there is only one natal family. There are no unmarried sisters in this natal family. It's Feng Shuangzhi's concubine sister.
Because the place where he lived was relatively far away from home, Feng Shuangzhi was the first to set off, but was the last one among the three sisters.
The slave guarding the gate outside saw Hefu's carriage coming from a distance, so he rushed in to report. In the main room, Ying Lian had been sitting for a long time. After hearing the report, the smile on his face became heavier, and he only yelled , "Not yet welcome people in!"
The maids and women flocked out, and as soon as they entered the door, Xi Tao and Mei Xiang didn't stop holding the gold and silver locks, and handed them out one by one. The Zhang wide road entered the house.
He Shen supported Feng Shuangzhi, and reluctantly bowed, "Granddaughter and grandson-in-law pay respects to the old man, and the old man has auspicious new year."
"Okay, okay, get up quickly." Yinglian was very relieved, and asked someone to help Feng Shuangzhi to sit up.
It's just that Feng Shuangzhi and his two sisters also exchanged pleasantries. Seeing Feng Shuangzhi and He Shen came, Yi Ajiang and Qian Feng also got up to greet each other, and then sat down.
The men all sat on the left, and the women sat on the right.
Feng Shuangzhi and He Shen are both in the second position, ranked according to seniority.
Today's Feng Shuangzhi is wearing a popular rose-purple brocade cheongsam, with a red coral hairpin on his head, and a ruby on his forehead. It looks simple, but this robe is nothing more than that. The red coral and ruby are distinct. It was a standard accessory only for second-rank wives. Feng Shuangzhi dressed simply, but did not lose his momentum.
He Shen also picked out a more festive crimson robe today, but it looks more plain than Feng Shuangzhi's. The two people's dress is actually the same as before, but because of their high status now, they look different from before .
In the past, people would say it was shabby to wear it like this, but now it can be said that it is flattering or humiliating.
Ying Lian thought that Feng Shuangzhi was right after all, and now He Shen is hiding more and more deeply.
Sitting on Feng Shuangzhi's left is the eldest sister Feng Xueying, and on the right is the third sister Feng Yunjing. Feng Xueying is now the mother-in-law. The little girl is hugged by her, but Yuxue is cute. Feng Shuangzhi looked at it a few more times. eyes, but no sound.Feng Yunjing over there was unusually quiet today. After Feng Shuangzhi came in, he yelled, but didn't say anything else.
He Shen has Yi Ajiang on his right and Qian Feng on his left.Among Yinglian's three sons-in-law, He Shen is the most proud.In the past, when Qian Feng was in high school, everyone thought that Qian Feng was the real son-in-law who could ride the dragon quickly, and they didn't want him to be as accurate as his granddaughter after all.He Shen is nothing but a blockbuster.
Yi Ajiang is the tallest of the three, but he is also the least educated.
At any rate, Qian Feng has become the censor of Zuodu. Although he is a speech officer, this position is safe—since ancient times, the emperor could not kill the speech officer. This position requires such a tough and honest official. Yi Ajiang is not at ease now.
Qian Feng was also uncomfortable, sitting with He Shen, who had a lesser reputation, and Yi Ajiang, who had an even worse reputation, made Qian Feng feel delicate.
In the past, that's all. In the past, he and Feng Yunjing played in harmony, and He Shen hadn't made a fortune yet, so he didn't feel much. Now that He Shen is on the rise, he and Feng Yunjing haven't said anything more. He was willing to compromise a step, but gradually became in harmony with each other.So looking at He Shen now, I feel that the relationship between He Shen and Feng Shuangzhi has never faded after so many years, whether it is good or bad, it is the same whenever you see it.
Everyone has their own little thoughts in their hearts, and the men over there are talking to Yinglian about some things in the court, and they just listen to them.
After a while, Feng Xueying couldn't hold the little girl, and saw the little girl struggling and walking on the ground, Feng Xueying just let her go, her eyes were full of doting.
That little girl came to Feng Shuangzhi's side, and stretched out her hand towards her. Feng Shuangzhi had never met such a small girl before, but thought that the little girl with pigtails was innocent and cute, so he held out his hand After handing it out, the girl grabbed it and babbled.
Feng Shuangzhi didn't understand, so she looked at Feng Xueying, Feng Xueying was a little embarrassed, but seeing that Feng Shuangzhi didn't mind, she smiled and said: "Her nickname is Yuqi, she was given by her father, she just learned to speak, and she can't speak clearly. .We don't know what she said..."
Feng Shuangzhi felt a movement of his wrist, and lowered his head, but seeing that Yu Qi seemed to have taken a fancy to the red coral bracelet in his hand, Feng Shuangzhi stepped back and gave it to her, so he Seeing Yu Qi raised her head, she grinned at herself, innocent and cute, she put both of her hands into the bracelets, then raised her hands up, bouncing back to her mother-in-law.
Who would have thought that Yi Ajiang, who was on the side, saw this scene, but said with a cold face: "Xueying, why did you let the mother-in-law discipline the child? Can you take other people's things casually?"
As soon as Yu Qi heard this voice, he burst into tears, and grabbed Feng Shuangzhi's robe beside him, as if he was quite frightened.
The whole hall was quiet, and Feng Xueying's face turned pale.
Feng Shuangzhi's face darkened for a moment, but he took Yu Qi's hand, smiled, and said to Yi Ajiang: "Brother-in-law, why should you speak so harshly, but you are still a child, and there is too much time for discipline. Yu Qi is a good boy." , don't cry..."
She went to coax the child, but Yi Ajiang couldn't help but glared at Feng Xueying. He picked up his teacup sullenly, and remembered the teasing "brother-in-law". He really hated it, He said in his heart that as soon as he saw Feng Shuangzhi, he knew it was bad luck. Now that he reprimanded his wife and daughter, he was ridiculed by this woman in turn. How could there be such a reason in the world?There is no such reason, no such reason!
Sitting on the side, He Shen also picked up the tea, hiding the smile on his lips, and after taking a sip, he changed the subject aloud: "I heard that Lord Liu will return to court in March this year, and Ah Gui Your Excellency is going to Yunnan and Guizhou again, and the situation in the court may change."
Ying Lian knew that the grievances and grievances of the juniors below were not so easy to resolve, so he let them to toss, children and grandchildren have their own blessings, so he can't worry about it.Seeing He Shen's purpose of changing the subject, Ying Lian continued: "I think you and the two sons of Fu Heng's family are more eye-catching. Now the emperor is getting older, and the veterans around him are getting more and more attractive. No, I still have to rely on you to support me."
Qian Feng sat on the side and didn't speak. He was not used to complimenting others, and he didn't even want to say a few more polite words.
At any rate, Yi Ajiang could still say a few words, otherwise, this moment would turn into a discussion between Yinglian and Heshen.
Fortunately, after a while, Xiyu in the backyard brought the fourth son Feng Lin to pay homage. Feng Lin is now a tall and straight young man with a handsome face. At first sight, Feng Shuangzhi reminded Feng Shuangzhi of E Zhang's face. It's just that this face is obviously E Zhang's when he was young, and he even has a bit of elegance.
She subconsciously turned her head to look at Ying Lian, and sure enough, she saw a little dazed flash across the eyes of the old Ying Lian.
At this time Feng Shuangzhi knew, after all, he was still thinking about the old love, right?
E Zhang is Ying Lian's son after all, but now Feng Lin is E Zhang's son, who looks very similar to E Zhang, and after reaching the crown, the family business may still be inherited by him.
Feng Lin just came to pay a visit and offered tea one by one. When it was Feng Shuangzhi's turn, she didn't stand up because of her heavy body. She just took the tea and asked him with a smile: "Are you studying? "
Feng Lin vaguely remembered Feng Shuangzhi. Xiyu was his biological mother. Although she didn't dare to go on stage, she also told Feng Shuangzhi a lot of things below. He was able to be born because of the beautiful woman before him. Ren, not daring to be negligent at the moment, replied truthfully: "I have read the Ministry of History, but I am still studying the Ministry of Sutras."
"One family is benevolent, one country is benevolent..." Feng Shuangzhi stopped on purpose.
Feng Lin knew that this was just a small examination school, so he answered the words respectfully: "If one family surrenders, the country will prosper; if one person is greedy, the country will cause chaos."
Feng Shuangzhi nodded, stretched his hand back, and Xitao handed over a red seal with great winking, Feng Shuangzhi stuffed it into Feng Lin's hand, and said, "Are you going to take part in the scientific examination in the future? good"
"My brother thanked my second sister."
Feng Shuangzhi sat there, received a salute from him, took a sip of tea, nodded, and then Feng Lin turned and walked away.
Xiyu behind had tears in her eyes. She has grown old all these years, and she has been busy with the affairs of the house without a name. To be motivated, you can do what you say, and you won't cause trouble, and you will respect the old man. Now that you are here to offer tea to Feng Shuangzhi, Xiyu is afraid that something will go wrong.
Although Feng Shuangzhi left the Yinglian Mansion, it didn't mean that she lost her influence completely. The old man had to ask her about many things, after all, her mother-in-law was the main wife in this mansion.
Now that Feng Lin is promising, and there is no other blood in this mansion, it is impossible to say that Feng Lin can only be regarded as the heir of the clan.
Ying Lian seemed to have this plan, he hadn't mentioned it before, Feng Shuangzhi asked this question meaningfully today, and he probably agreed.
Feng Lin retreated from the room with clenched fists, and Xi Yu quietly followed, and the mother and daughter cried secretly for a while.
Feng Lin only patted her on the shoulder, Xi Yu wiped away tears and said: "Second Miss is very soft-hearted, as long as she doesn't touch her bottom line, she can bear a lot. After all, the old lady is old, and she still needs someone to help her." In the end, she always takes care of the old man."
Feng Lin recalled the moment when he met Feng Shuangzhi's eyes just now, with her sharp eyes, he felt that this person was transparent from the inside out. With such a powerful sister-in-law, it's no wonder that the mansion could Make such a scene.He sighed: "It's all here now."
"She accepted today, and she will support you in the future. I only hope that you can live up to yourself. Don't be like your foolish father, who made the old man angry..."
"Son, save it."
……
Here the mother and daughter are talking, but there are already arrangements for a banquet.
Feng Shuangzhi got tired after sitting for a while, so she went to the side room to sit and rest for a while, Xitao was adding charcoal to the stove and He Shen came in from the outside through the curtain, "Tired?"
Feng Shuangzhi let out a "hmm", didn't open his eyes, but forced himself to say: "Why aren't you outside?"
"While they are talking, let me come and see you." He Shen said softly, only feeling sorry for her, and asked her what happened just now.
Feng Shuangzhi finally caught his eye, "What's the matter?"
After a pause, he seemed to think of something again, and without waiting for He Shen to speak, Feng Shuangzhi picked it up by himself: "Yi Ajiang and I are natural opponents, and I couldn't see it. Because of him, I, Mafa, joined Yonggui's The old man has several books, but now he has become my Mafa's grandson-in-law, making Yonggui inferior to my Mafa by a generation, I am afraid that Yonggui is holding his breath and won't give him a good face at home."
Hearing this, He Shen couldn't help laughing out loud, "It's really hard for Mr. Yonggui and you Mafa to be an official in the same dynasty."
"Yonggui is an old fox..." Feng Shuangzhi frowned again when he thought of Yonggui's identity. This person is a direct minister, and he is afraid that he will have conflicts with He Shen in the future, but worrying now is useless.She laughed, "Originally I was worried, we are all gone, what will happen to Mafa... But I knew it when I saw Feng Lin, Mafa has hope again."
He Shen bent his lips, and there seemed to be a little bit of starlight in his eyes: "You, Mafa, are you going to have an heir?"
"Yeah." Feng Shuangzhi nodded, "I'm afraid it will be soon. There must be no one in the family, so I can only choose Feng Lin who is close to me. This child is well-behaved. I don't think it looks like he has a wicked heart. "
He Shen also said: "The eyes are clear and the body is handsome. You won't be inactive in the future. You don't have to worry about Mr. Yinglian. Remember to come out after the banquet."
"I'll just rest for a while." Feng Shuangzhi nodded, and let He Shen go out again, but He Shen went out, but Feng Yunjing and Feng Xueying came in.
This time, Feng Shuangzhi couldn't sleep anymore, she sat up, looked at her two concubine sisters, and greeted them: "Eldest sister, third sister, why are you coming in to sit?"
Feng Xueying said: "We didn't understand the men's topics, and we were bored listening to the left and right, so we came in to talk."
When she sat down, she put that girl Yuqi down, and Yuqi turned around on the edge of the table, and after a while, she came to Feng Yunjing's side.
Feng Yunjing's complexion didn't seem very good. Hearing that Qian Feng's mother had asked Qian Feng to take a concubine, it would be weird if she was in a good mood.
Feng Xueying and Feng Shuangzhi could still exchange a few words, but Feng Yunjing just sat there without saying a word.Yu Qi came to her side, saw the beautiful white peony embroidered on the corner of her cheongsam, and went down to catch it, but Feng Yunjing turned sideways and pushed Yu Qi away, and said, "No one educated!"
After saying this, Feng Xueying was stunned immediately, and then sneered: "Isn't it uncomfortable to look at other people's children if they can't be born?"
This statement almost hit Feng Yunjing's sore foot, she stood up with a pale face, "Elder Sister—"
Feng Xueying is already a mother-in-law, and she is not favored by the men in the mansion, so she is looking forward to a daughter, pampering her all day long, and wishing she could put it in her hands. Extremely angry, "If you didn't do what I said, how could you suddenly become angry from embarrassment?"
Feng Yunjing was still speechless after all, she gritted her teeth for a long time, and raised her hand to hit Feng Xueying, but she didn't want Feng Xueying to raise her hand and slap her on the face, so she said: "Wake up, it's time to wake up from the dream."
The development of this situation completely exceeded Feng Shuangzhi's expectations, she almost lost the teacup in her hand, and raised her eyes to look at the two people who suddenly pinched each other.
It's actually not that serious...
Feng Xueying just slapped Feng Yunjing away without using much force, and only slapped Feng Yunjing's face away, which seemed to wake her up.
Thinking of not long ago, Feng Xueying came to me to beg Feng Yunjing for mercy, Feng Shuangzhi only put down the tea bowl heavily, and said in a low voice, "It's a big festival."
It's a big holiday, don't make trouble in this mansion, they don't want to spend this year, Ying Lian and Feng Shuangzhi still want to have a good year.
When it was time for the banquet in the evening, the three sisters seemed to have figured out something suddenly. Although they were not very affectionate, they were at least talking and laughing. Even Feng Yunjing seemed to have figured out something, and forced a smile Come, socialize during the banquet.
He Shen still didn't dare to drink too much, and served the whole table with just one glass of wine, which made Feng Shuangzhi chuckle.
The young brother Feng Lin didn't drink much alcohol on weekdays, and his face turned red when he drank.
Ying Lian was also happy, it was rare to see all the family gathered together, drowsy from drinking, and was helped in by his housemaid.
Feng Shuangzhi and He Shen stayed at the mansion for the whole night, and left the next day. They were doing well, but on the way, they suddenly had abdominal pains. Frost Chi settled down.
The doctor is Zhou Wangyuan, a well-known doctor in the capital, and the women are waiting for her. To be on the safe side, Liu Quan'er directly invited Zhou Wangyuan, who diagnosed Feng Shuangzhi's happy pulse back then.
Zhou Wangyuan thought in his heart that maybe a woman gave birth to a child, so he asked him to come anyway. When he saw Liu Quan'er, he slapped his head and remembered that it turned out to be from the Hefu.Now he is thankful for his original brilliance, and he really made a fortune...
Dare to come here non-stop, and saw that gentle and elegant man walking around in front of the house. When my mother-in-law gave birth for the first time, it was a man like this, Zhou Wangyuan was not surprised at all.
It was noon when he came, and he calmly listened to the report from Mrs. Wen inside, and then gave orders.
He Shen looked at the doctor from the sidelines, not in a hurry, not in a hurry, not in a hurry, he was in a panic, he just wished he could urge the doctor, he couldn't take it anymore, so he wanted to say a few harsh words to the doctor However, Zhou Wangyuan pinched He Shen's seven inches, and said: "You can just wait here with peace of mind. When I felt the pulse of my wife, I was a little weaker, and I took good care of it. I will give birth to you soon." Here comes a big fat boy."
When he said this, it happened to be dusk, the sun had just sunk, and the snow in the entire courtyard was dripping down.
Feng Shuangzhi yelled in the room and suddenly became louder, and then there was no sound. He Shen didn't care too much, and rushed in, only to see a naked and fat baby brought out by the steady woman, who congratulated one after another: " Congratulations, you are a big fat boy!"
Immediately afterwards, two slaps were slapped on the boy's buttocks, and there was a "woo-wah", and the whole courtyard was filled with the boy's voice.
He Shen only thought that the child was ugly enough, but asked aside, "How is Madam?"
"It's okay, I drank the ginseng soup..."
He Shen only heard the word "it's okay" and passed away. Feng Shuangzhi's eyes were very blurred, and the hair on her forehead was temporarily covered with sweat. Her fingers curled up weakly, and He Shen came over and held her hand. hand, calling her name: "Shuangzhi..."
However, Feng Shuangzhi just looked at the front blankly, as if he saw him, but also as if he didn't see anything.
In Feng Shuangzhi's field of vision, He Shen's outline gradually became blurred again, and someone said outside: "It's just that I'm out of strength, and I'll be fine after a night of sleep. By the way, did your master have a name?"
"My lord said it was Ruiyuan..."
He Shen knew that she was tired, but saw her lips moving, as if she was talking about something, so he put his ear to it, and only heard one sentence: "Why did you hurt me..."
After that, her eyes were completely closed, and she fell asleep like this.
The dream is still very long.
Although Feng Shuangzhi's belly is getting bigger, he still plans to celebrate the first decent New Year's Day in the family. He asks the maids to prepare Spring Festival couplets and door gods.
New Year's Day counts from midnight on New Year's Eve, and the courtyard is already lively on New Year's Eve. Those with family members who have finished their own tasks are put back by Feng Shuangzhi, and those who are no longer lonely stay Accompany Feng Shuangzhi to celebrate the New Year together.
It was rare for Helin not to practice martial arts today, but to help Feng Shuangzhi write Spring Festival couplets here. Looking at her chubby belly, she couldn't help but joked with her sister-in-law: "Today, Helin is here to make a fool of herself and write Spring Festival couplets. Compared with my sister-in-law, my eldest nephew will laugh at me later."
Feng Shuangzhi couldn't help laughing out loud, just picked up a pen and wrote the word "Fu" and turned it upside down, saying: "You are only good at martial arts, and you are good at both civil and military, how can you compare with me, a woman?" You are so narrow-minded, he will only laugh at you later."
Helin's personality is completely different from his brother's, probably because one is civil and the other martial, so one is restrained and the other is outgoing, right?
Feng Shuangzhi only smiled slightly, seeing He Lin's and He Shen's faces were seven to eight points similar, and remembered the matter of proposing marriage again.After she gave birth to the child, she should really think about things with Lin.
At that time, He Shen had everything done, and no one dared to look down on their family.
Thinking of the end of the year, Feng Shuangzhi sent someone to send some things to the old house to save face, but He Lin didn't say anything. It's not that they are not responsible for the life of the old house. All the money was handed over to the emissary over there, and those aunts had no intention of fighting since Chang Bao died.The last time Ma Jiashi sold Heshen's imperial examination for several thousand taels of silver, Feng Shuangzhi hadn't pursued it with her, so she must have dared not shamelessly come forward.
It's just that she is He Shen's stepmother in name, so she can't be too shabby.
The whole morning was spent writing Spring Festival couplets, and He Shen came back at noon, and when he took off the hat, it was full of snowflakes.
The courtyard was covered with dense snow, only the bluestone road was swept away. He glanced at the Spring Festival couplets and asked, "Is it finished?"
Feng Shuangzhi smiled: "I will write to you if the door is left."
He Lin also laughed: "If my brother doesn't come back, how can my sister-in-law and I dare to write?"
This is something left to the head of the family. He Shen just came out of the palace and received a bunch of rewards. After this year, it will be a new year.
Hanging the cloak on the side, He Shen rubbed his wrist, walked up, picked up a pen and thought for a while, and said: "The coming year should not be publicized."
You still have to keep a low profile.
When He Shen said this, there was a smile on his lips.
Feng Shuangzhi and He Lin watched from the sidelines, they naturally understood the meaning of this sentence - it is not appropriate to make publicity in the coming year.
He Shen's luck suddenly rose in the second half of this year, and it will rise even higher next year, but he has to be more careful when writing Spring Festival couplets.
In the end, what He Shen wrote down was indeed a fairly ordinary couplet, "Heshun has Baifu, and the word Ping'an is worth a thousand gold", but the horizontal comment was "Vientiane renewal".
Feng Shuangzhi couldn't help but smile knowingly. This kind of spring couplets that have been hung up by ordinary people is thanks to this person who has the face to write them out. It turns out that each word is round and full, full of emotion, and it is much more than ordinary people's hanging How domineering.This year may be the happiest year, right?It will be lively in the future, and the Spring Festival will not be a good one.
There are quite a few people who come and go around these days, but Feng Shuangzhi is pregnant and is approaching the due date, so most of them are turned away. Once this year is over, everything will follow.
There are hundreds of blessings in Heshun, and the word "Ping An" is worth a thousand gold.
Such couplets were pasted on both sides of the gate of Hefu. Feng Shuangzhi and He Shen stood outside and instructed Shuangfu to hang the horizontal batch in the middle. Shuanglu drove the car back from the outside.
In the afternoon, all the work was done in the kitchen. The maids and women were laughing and laughing in the yard, and He Shen hugged her in the study and watched the plum blossoms by the fire, waiting for the arrival of New Year's Eve.
Marinated chicken and bacon, goose oil soup, rice cakes, candied golden dates, diced eight-treasure rabbit, deep-fried quail, kidney bean rolls...
The whole table was full, but there was very little food, and the sound of firecrackers resounded throughout the capital after an overnight stay. Feng Shuangzhi said to watch the new year, but he was very sleepy. Go to sleep for a while, and then call her when the time comes.
Feng Shuangzhi knew that if he fell asleep, this person would not be willing to wake him up again, so he pulled himself together and dragged He Shen out of the house to watch the maids set off firecrackers.
As the saying goes, "the year is celebrated with the sound of firecrackers", and He Lin also stood there watching.Feng Shuangzhi noticed that one of the people who set off the firecrackers was his maid, who seemed to be liked by Helin very much.
Yawning lazily, Feng Shuangzhi rubbed his eyes, then heard He Shen ask: "If you are sleepy, how about I help you go to sleep?"
Feng Shuangzhi just turned around and said, "I'm afraid there won't be any new year's festivals like this year, I don't want to sleep."
She wanted to write down all this clearly, Feng Shuangzhi looked at him, and clenched his hands in his sleeves.
He Lin seemed to be having a lot of fun. He is a military commander, and he can do a lot of tricks with firecrackers. He threw the firecrackers into the sky before it went off. "Brother and sister-in-law, why are you here?"
He Shen wrapped the sable fur coat tightly around Feng Shuangzhi, trying to wrap her into a ball, and the two of them pulled the other into the middle of the yard. Because Feng Shuangzhi was pregnant, her movements seemed She is very clumsy, her hands and feet are a little swollen, and she has to rely on the massages of the maids for the past two months, and He Shen is always with her, and she can't sleep well all night long, watching Feng Shuangzhi become mellow day by day When he woke up, He Shen lost weight.
"She said she was going to watch the year, but she was about to fall asleep, so I brought her out to have a look. You guys have fun, and maybe you can drive away her drowsiness."
He Shen smiled and made a few jokes.
Feng Shuangzhi glanced at him reproachfully, but didn't say anything, just said: "I'm heavy, so it's good to watch you play."
The firecrackers were lit, and soon there was a sound, which made the whole courtyard lively. There were not many of the twenty or so servants in the mansion who went back. It became lively, and only then did they know that it was past the time, so everyone in the whole family kowtowed to Feng Shuangzhi and He Shen to pay New Year's greetings, and asked for a reward by the way.
He Shen sealed a red envelope for them by himself, stuffed with two taels of silver, and this red envelope alone could be their monthly money for several months.
When everyone got the reward, they all smiled and congratulated repeatedly, but they didn't want He Lin to come up, and bowed to the end: "The left and right maids and servants gave it to me. I wonder if my brother can ask my brother and sister-in-law for a red envelope?"
He Shen scolded with a smile: "You are also here to join in the fun, this is the only one, and there are not many."
He stuffed out a red envelope that Feng Shuangzhi had sewed by himself a few days ago, and holding it in Helin's hand, he knew that it was different from other people's and that it was his sister-in-law's handicraft, so he said a few auspicious words immediately.
Feng Shuangzhi suddenly said, "Why didn't you see Liu Quan'er?"
I always felt that something was missing today, and when I looked back, it was strange that I didn't see Liu Quan'er among such people.This kind of time to join in the fun, Liu Quan'er is indispensable.
He Shen smiled, and before he could open his mouth, he heard Liu Quan'er's movement at the gate. He only heard Liu Quan'er shouting "New Year's is here", and threw a long string of firecrackers out with a bamboo pole. Picking up, He Shen and the others flocked out to watch, and saw that everyone on this street was coming out, there were noises in and out of the courtyard, the whole world was full of fiery trees and silver flowers, and there was light everywhere, with hazy smoke.
The snowflakes were still falling one after another, but Feng Shuangzhi's eyes were already warm.
After all, she was still sleepy, leaning against He Shen's arms, and fell asleep after the sound of firecrackers was over.
He Shen chuckled secretly, at her age... it can only be said that she has waited halfway through, right?
He hugged her, who was a bit heavy, and went back to the house, but he didn't close his eyes very much. Seeing that she was sleeping soundly, he went to the study to write something, and then he came back and continued to lie down, but he went to bed again after a while. To pay New Year's greetings to Qianlong, he left before dawn.
Today, the courts usually say auspicious words. During the Chinese New Year, no one will go up and get into trouble, and everything will be delayed until the next year.
There is a rare kindness in the court. The bull-nosed Liu Yong went out of Beijing to mourn for his old father, and he only returned in March this year; Agui conquered Jinchuan, and Qianlong named him a first-class sincere and heroic man, and he was promoted to co-organize the university. The Minister of Military Aircraft and Military Aircraft is a very popular figure in the court. He said he was going to be transferred to Yunnan and Guizhou, but he has not left yet; Li Shiyao, a scholar of the Hall of Martial Arts and Minister of Military Aircraft, is still in the midst of the spring breeze, making peace with Emperor Qianlong...
Qianlong is already a gray-haired old man, and he likes this kind of lively scene the most. Taking advantage of the excitement, he said to everyone: "A year ago, I remembered that Heshen was promised a job. Today is the first month. You He officially took up the post of the right servant of the household department, but the position of the left servant is still vacant, and Fukang'an returned without incident, so he will fill the vacancy."
It was originally a happy event, but when he heard Fu Kang'an's name, He Shen felt a little strangely uncomfortable.
Over there, Fukang'an came out with him, and the two of them kowtowed to thank them and said long live a few times before stepping back.
There are six departments in the imperial court, the highest of the six departments are ministers, and the deputy ministers are all ministers. If there are two ministers, they are distinguished by left and right.The six ministries are the Ministry of Officials, the Ministry of Rites, the Ministry of Punishment, the Ministry of Industry, and the Ministry of Household War.The servant of the household department has come to this position from the second rank, He Shen, so he can be said to be a senior official.
But at this moment, Fukang'an just popped up.
Since ancient times, the left and the right have been distinguished, and the left is the respect. Heshen is the right servant, and Fukang'an is the left servant. In Qianlong's mind, it is easy to know the weight of Fukang'an and Heshen. .
He Shen retreated to the side without saying a word, and then said that Fukang'an had made great contributions. Now that he has calmed down the size of Jinchuan and has not returned to the court, he will give Fukang'an the treatment of Ziguang Pavilion.He Shen secretly glanced at the faces of the generals around him, and thought that Fukang An made quite a few enemies.
Agui is a great hero. Although he was promoted to a noble after he came back, Ziguang Pavilion is full of portraits of heroes. It can be said that it is too early for Fu Kang'an to be able to draw pictures of Ziguang Pavilion at his age.
Not only the veterans, but also Fu Heng, a bachelor, frowned. The emperor loved Fu Kang'an so much that some people didn't know what to say.After this New Year's Eve, everyone didn't say anything.
It's just that after the court, everyone turned their heads and left, and then each of them revealed their own thoughts.
Presumably Ah Gui is having an uncomfortable time this New Year's Eve.
He Shen felt a little happy, went back to the room, saw that Feng Shuangzhi was already up, so he told her this interesting story, how did he know that Feng Shuangzhi only frowned at him, and asked, "Are you unhappy?"
"Ma'am, your eyes, Zhenli." He Shen smiled.
Feng Shuangzhi held Mrs. Tang in his arms, warmed his hands, and said: "One left and one right, you are a right servant. Although you are from the second rank like the left servant, you are still a head shorter than Fu Kang'an. Even if you don't say it out of your heart, you still think in your heart that one day you will turn this situation around."
"Those who know me, Shuang Zhi also."
He Shen is not a short-sighted person, and he will not be depressed because of this small difference. He just remembers such a small difference, hoping to make a comeback in the future.
In the 41st year of Qianlong's reign, it came in the midst of heavy snow. Feng Shuangzhi looked at it from a distance, and felt that the white snow in the capital made the whole world clean.
"I'm going to visit my Mafa tomorrow. Although he is old and healthy, he is getting old after all." Feng Shuangzhi sat on the couch and said slowly, "At that time, I will have to meet with my few friends. Sisters are sitting together, if you see someone, you must hold back."
He was talking about Qian Feng and Yi Ajiang, who always wanted to go back during the Chinese New Year.
He Shen said: "When we went back in the past years, we were all blindsided. Now your husband and I are the hottest upstarts in the court, and you are the only one who gives others face."
"In front of Mafa, how can anyone say who is giving face to whom?" Feng Shuangzhi shook his head, "My eldest sister is married to Yi Ajiang, and you know who Yi Ajiang is. Those little concubines are choking on me, I'm afraid they don't have time to pay attention to me. My niece is also getting older, she seems to have seen it too? Maybe if she can give birth to another son, she will have a safe life in this life. As for the third sister... "
This is the worst.
The most important thing is that she still hasn't figured out what is going on with Feng Yunjing. She only heard that the relationship between her and Qian Feng has been cold for a long time, and she has always been in a state of "respect like ice". What is Feng Yunjing thinking now?
Feng Shuangzhi was worried about Feng Yunjing, but He Shen was worried about Qian Feng. Whenever he thought of Feng Shuangzhi and Qian Feng's meal at the same table, he felt uncomfortable, but he couldn't say it out, so he could only press his lips tightly together. , Said: "Left and right now we will go back brightly, you don't have to worry about it."
Feng Shuangzhi laughed at him: "When I went back, how did you ever see me being wronged? I am the prostitute in the mansion, how can you treat me badly?"
"..." He Shen plucked a strand of her hair that was hanging down, and sighed, "Let's talk about it when we visit relatives tomorrow."
Going back to her mother's house to visit relatives was originally a somewhat complicated matter. The Yinglian Mansion is still good. If it's other people, such as Fu Heng's Mansion, I'm afraid it will be a long time.
Feng Shuangzhi's left and right are just a few relatives. His parents' family is in decline. Far away in Fujian, there is only one natal family. There are no unmarried sisters in this natal family. It's Feng Shuangzhi's concubine sister.
Because the place where he lived was relatively far away from home, Feng Shuangzhi was the first to set off, but was the last one among the three sisters.
The slave guarding the gate outside saw Hefu's carriage coming from a distance, so he rushed in to report. In the main room, Ying Lian had been sitting for a long time. After hearing the report, the smile on his face became heavier, and he only yelled , "Not yet welcome people in!"
The maids and women flocked out, and as soon as they entered the door, Xi Tao and Mei Xiang didn't stop holding the gold and silver locks, and handed them out one by one. The Zhang wide road entered the house.
He Shen supported Feng Shuangzhi, and reluctantly bowed, "Granddaughter and grandson-in-law pay respects to the old man, and the old man has auspicious new year."
"Okay, okay, get up quickly." Yinglian was very relieved, and asked someone to help Feng Shuangzhi to sit up.
It's just that Feng Shuangzhi and his two sisters also exchanged pleasantries. Seeing Feng Shuangzhi and He Shen came, Yi Ajiang and Qian Feng also got up to greet each other, and then sat down.
The men all sat on the left, and the women sat on the right.
Feng Shuangzhi and He Shen are both in the second position, ranked according to seniority.
Today's Feng Shuangzhi is wearing a popular rose-purple brocade cheongsam, with a red coral hairpin on his head, and a ruby on his forehead. It looks simple, but this robe is nothing more than that. The red coral and ruby are distinct. It was a standard accessory only for second-rank wives. Feng Shuangzhi dressed simply, but did not lose his momentum.
He Shen also picked out a more festive crimson robe today, but it looks more plain than Feng Shuangzhi's. The two people's dress is actually the same as before, but because of their high status now, they look different from before .
In the past, people would say it was shabby to wear it like this, but now it can be said that it is flattering or humiliating.
Ying Lian thought that Feng Shuangzhi was right after all, and now He Shen is hiding more and more deeply.
Sitting on Feng Shuangzhi's left is the eldest sister Feng Xueying, and on the right is the third sister Feng Yunjing. Feng Xueying is now the mother-in-law. The little girl is hugged by her, but Yuxue is cute. Feng Shuangzhi looked at it a few more times. eyes, but no sound.Feng Yunjing over there was unusually quiet today. After Feng Shuangzhi came in, he yelled, but didn't say anything else.
He Shen has Yi Ajiang on his right and Qian Feng on his left.Among Yinglian's three sons-in-law, He Shen is the most proud.In the past, when Qian Feng was in high school, everyone thought that Qian Feng was the real son-in-law who could ride the dragon quickly, and they didn't want him to be as accurate as his granddaughter after all.He Shen is nothing but a blockbuster.
Yi Ajiang is the tallest of the three, but he is also the least educated.
At any rate, Qian Feng has become the censor of Zuodu. Although he is a speech officer, this position is safe—since ancient times, the emperor could not kill the speech officer. This position requires such a tough and honest official. Yi Ajiang is not at ease now.
Qian Feng was also uncomfortable, sitting with He Shen, who had a lesser reputation, and Yi Ajiang, who had an even worse reputation, made Qian Feng feel delicate.
In the past, that's all. In the past, he and Feng Yunjing played in harmony, and He Shen hadn't made a fortune yet, so he didn't feel much. Now that He Shen is on the rise, he and Feng Yunjing haven't said anything more. He was willing to compromise a step, but gradually became in harmony with each other.So looking at He Shen now, I feel that the relationship between He Shen and Feng Shuangzhi has never faded after so many years, whether it is good or bad, it is the same whenever you see it.
Everyone has their own little thoughts in their hearts, and the men over there are talking to Yinglian about some things in the court, and they just listen to them.
After a while, Feng Xueying couldn't hold the little girl, and saw the little girl struggling and walking on the ground, Feng Xueying just let her go, her eyes were full of doting.
That little girl came to Feng Shuangzhi's side, and stretched out her hand towards her. Feng Shuangzhi had never met such a small girl before, but thought that the little girl with pigtails was innocent and cute, so he held out his hand After handing it out, the girl grabbed it and babbled.
Feng Shuangzhi didn't understand, so she looked at Feng Xueying, Feng Xueying was a little embarrassed, but seeing that Feng Shuangzhi didn't mind, she smiled and said: "Her nickname is Yuqi, she was given by her father, she just learned to speak, and she can't speak clearly. .We don't know what she said..."
Feng Shuangzhi felt a movement of his wrist, and lowered his head, but seeing that Yu Qi seemed to have taken a fancy to the red coral bracelet in his hand, Feng Shuangzhi stepped back and gave it to her, so he Seeing Yu Qi raised her head, she grinned at herself, innocent and cute, she put both of her hands into the bracelets, then raised her hands up, bouncing back to her mother-in-law.
Who would have thought that Yi Ajiang, who was on the side, saw this scene, but said with a cold face: "Xueying, why did you let the mother-in-law discipline the child? Can you take other people's things casually?"
As soon as Yu Qi heard this voice, he burst into tears, and grabbed Feng Shuangzhi's robe beside him, as if he was quite frightened.
The whole hall was quiet, and Feng Xueying's face turned pale.
Feng Shuangzhi's face darkened for a moment, but he took Yu Qi's hand, smiled, and said to Yi Ajiang: "Brother-in-law, why should you speak so harshly, but you are still a child, and there is too much time for discipline. Yu Qi is a good boy." , don't cry..."
She went to coax the child, but Yi Ajiang couldn't help but glared at Feng Xueying. He picked up his teacup sullenly, and remembered the teasing "brother-in-law". He really hated it, He said in his heart that as soon as he saw Feng Shuangzhi, he knew it was bad luck. Now that he reprimanded his wife and daughter, he was ridiculed by this woman in turn. How could there be such a reason in the world?There is no such reason, no such reason!
Sitting on the side, He Shen also picked up the tea, hiding the smile on his lips, and after taking a sip, he changed the subject aloud: "I heard that Lord Liu will return to court in March this year, and Ah Gui Your Excellency is going to Yunnan and Guizhou again, and the situation in the court may change."
Ying Lian knew that the grievances and grievances of the juniors below were not so easy to resolve, so he let them to toss, children and grandchildren have their own blessings, so he can't worry about it.Seeing He Shen's purpose of changing the subject, Ying Lian continued: "I think you and the two sons of Fu Heng's family are more eye-catching. Now the emperor is getting older, and the veterans around him are getting more and more attractive. No, I still have to rely on you to support me."
Qian Feng sat on the side and didn't speak. He was not used to complimenting others, and he didn't even want to say a few more polite words.
At any rate, Yi Ajiang could still say a few words, otherwise, this moment would turn into a discussion between Yinglian and Heshen.
Fortunately, after a while, Xiyu in the backyard brought the fourth son Feng Lin to pay homage. Feng Lin is now a tall and straight young man with a handsome face. At first sight, Feng Shuangzhi reminded Feng Shuangzhi of E Zhang's face. It's just that this face is obviously E Zhang's when he was young, and he even has a bit of elegance.
She subconsciously turned her head to look at Ying Lian, and sure enough, she saw a little dazed flash across the eyes of the old Ying Lian.
At this time Feng Shuangzhi knew, after all, he was still thinking about the old love, right?
E Zhang is Ying Lian's son after all, but now Feng Lin is E Zhang's son, who looks very similar to E Zhang, and after reaching the crown, the family business may still be inherited by him.
Feng Lin just came to pay a visit and offered tea one by one. When it was Feng Shuangzhi's turn, she didn't stand up because of her heavy body. She just took the tea and asked him with a smile: "Are you studying? "
Feng Lin vaguely remembered Feng Shuangzhi. Xiyu was his biological mother. Although she didn't dare to go on stage, she also told Feng Shuangzhi a lot of things below. He was able to be born because of the beautiful woman before him. Ren, not daring to be negligent at the moment, replied truthfully: "I have read the Ministry of History, but I am still studying the Ministry of Sutras."
"One family is benevolent, one country is benevolent..." Feng Shuangzhi stopped on purpose.
Feng Lin knew that this was just a small examination school, so he answered the words respectfully: "If one family surrenders, the country will prosper; if one person is greedy, the country will cause chaos."
Feng Shuangzhi nodded, stretched his hand back, and Xitao handed over a red seal with great winking, Feng Shuangzhi stuffed it into Feng Lin's hand, and said, "Are you going to take part in the scientific examination in the future? good"
"My brother thanked my second sister."
Feng Shuangzhi sat there, received a salute from him, took a sip of tea, nodded, and then Feng Lin turned and walked away.
Xiyu behind had tears in her eyes. She has grown old all these years, and she has been busy with the affairs of the house without a name. To be motivated, you can do what you say, and you won't cause trouble, and you will respect the old man. Now that you are here to offer tea to Feng Shuangzhi, Xiyu is afraid that something will go wrong.
Although Feng Shuangzhi left the Yinglian Mansion, it didn't mean that she lost her influence completely. The old man had to ask her about many things, after all, her mother-in-law was the main wife in this mansion.
Now that Feng Lin is promising, and there is no other blood in this mansion, it is impossible to say that Feng Lin can only be regarded as the heir of the clan.
Ying Lian seemed to have this plan, he hadn't mentioned it before, Feng Shuangzhi asked this question meaningfully today, and he probably agreed.
Feng Lin retreated from the room with clenched fists, and Xi Yu quietly followed, and the mother and daughter cried secretly for a while.
Feng Lin only patted her on the shoulder, Xi Yu wiped away tears and said: "Second Miss is very soft-hearted, as long as she doesn't touch her bottom line, she can bear a lot. After all, the old lady is old, and she still needs someone to help her." In the end, she always takes care of the old man."
Feng Lin recalled the moment when he met Feng Shuangzhi's eyes just now, with her sharp eyes, he felt that this person was transparent from the inside out. With such a powerful sister-in-law, it's no wonder that the mansion could Make such a scene.He sighed: "It's all here now."
"She accepted today, and she will support you in the future. I only hope that you can live up to yourself. Don't be like your foolish father, who made the old man angry..."
"Son, save it."
……
Here the mother and daughter are talking, but there are already arrangements for a banquet.
Feng Shuangzhi got tired after sitting for a while, so she went to the side room to sit and rest for a while, Xitao was adding charcoal to the stove and He Shen came in from the outside through the curtain, "Tired?"
Feng Shuangzhi let out a "hmm", didn't open his eyes, but forced himself to say: "Why aren't you outside?"
"While they are talking, let me come and see you." He Shen said softly, only feeling sorry for her, and asked her what happened just now.
Feng Shuangzhi finally caught his eye, "What's the matter?"
After a pause, he seemed to think of something again, and without waiting for He Shen to speak, Feng Shuangzhi picked it up by himself: "Yi Ajiang and I are natural opponents, and I couldn't see it. Because of him, I, Mafa, joined Yonggui's The old man has several books, but now he has become my Mafa's grandson-in-law, making Yonggui inferior to my Mafa by a generation, I am afraid that Yonggui is holding his breath and won't give him a good face at home."
Hearing this, He Shen couldn't help laughing out loud, "It's really hard for Mr. Yonggui and you Mafa to be an official in the same dynasty."
"Yonggui is an old fox..." Feng Shuangzhi frowned again when he thought of Yonggui's identity. This person is a direct minister, and he is afraid that he will have conflicts with He Shen in the future, but worrying now is useless.She laughed, "Originally I was worried, we are all gone, what will happen to Mafa... But I knew it when I saw Feng Lin, Mafa has hope again."
He Shen bent his lips, and there seemed to be a little bit of starlight in his eyes: "You, Mafa, are you going to have an heir?"
"Yeah." Feng Shuangzhi nodded, "I'm afraid it will be soon. There must be no one in the family, so I can only choose Feng Lin who is close to me. This child is well-behaved. I don't think it looks like he has a wicked heart. "
He Shen also said: "The eyes are clear and the body is handsome. You won't be inactive in the future. You don't have to worry about Mr. Yinglian. Remember to come out after the banquet."
"I'll just rest for a while." Feng Shuangzhi nodded, and let He Shen go out again, but He Shen went out, but Feng Yunjing and Feng Xueying came in.
This time, Feng Shuangzhi couldn't sleep anymore, she sat up, looked at her two concubine sisters, and greeted them: "Eldest sister, third sister, why are you coming in to sit?"
Feng Xueying said: "We didn't understand the men's topics, and we were bored listening to the left and right, so we came in to talk."
When she sat down, she put that girl Yuqi down, and Yuqi turned around on the edge of the table, and after a while, she came to Feng Yunjing's side.
Feng Yunjing's complexion didn't seem very good. Hearing that Qian Feng's mother had asked Qian Feng to take a concubine, it would be weird if she was in a good mood.
Feng Xueying and Feng Shuangzhi could still exchange a few words, but Feng Yunjing just sat there without saying a word.Yu Qi came to her side, saw the beautiful white peony embroidered on the corner of her cheongsam, and went down to catch it, but Feng Yunjing turned sideways and pushed Yu Qi away, and said, "No one educated!"
After saying this, Feng Xueying was stunned immediately, and then sneered: "Isn't it uncomfortable to look at other people's children if they can't be born?"
This statement almost hit Feng Yunjing's sore foot, she stood up with a pale face, "Elder Sister—"
Feng Xueying is already a mother-in-law, and she is not favored by the men in the mansion, so she is looking forward to a daughter, pampering her all day long, and wishing she could put it in her hands. Extremely angry, "If you didn't do what I said, how could you suddenly become angry from embarrassment?"
Feng Yunjing was still speechless after all, she gritted her teeth for a long time, and raised her hand to hit Feng Xueying, but she didn't want Feng Xueying to raise her hand and slap her on the face, so she said: "Wake up, it's time to wake up from the dream."
The development of this situation completely exceeded Feng Shuangzhi's expectations, she almost lost the teacup in her hand, and raised her eyes to look at the two people who suddenly pinched each other.
It's actually not that serious...
Feng Xueying just slapped Feng Yunjing away without using much force, and only slapped Feng Yunjing's face away, which seemed to wake her up.
Thinking of not long ago, Feng Xueying came to me to beg Feng Yunjing for mercy, Feng Shuangzhi only put down the tea bowl heavily, and said in a low voice, "It's a big festival."
It's a big holiday, don't make trouble in this mansion, they don't want to spend this year, Ying Lian and Feng Shuangzhi still want to have a good year.
When it was time for the banquet in the evening, the three sisters seemed to have figured out something suddenly. Although they were not very affectionate, they were at least talking and laughing. Even Feng Yunjing seemed to have figured out something, and forced a smile Come, socialize during the banquet.
He Shen still didn't dare to drink too much, and served the whole table with just one glass of wine, which made Feng Shuangzhi chuckle.
The young brother Feng Lin didn't drink much alcohol on weekdays, and his face turned red when he drank.
Ying Lian was also happy, it was rare to see all the family gathered together, drowsy from drinking, and was helped in by his housemaid.
Feng Shuangzhi and He Shen stayed at the mansion for the whole night, and left the next day. They were doing well, but on the way, they suddenly had abdominal pains. Frost Chi settled down.
The doctor is Zhou Wangyuan, a well-known doctor in the capital, and the women are waiting for her. To be on the safe side, Liu Quan'er directly invited Zhou Wangyuan, who diagnosed Feng Shuangzhi's happy pulse back then.
Zhou Wangyuan thought in his heart that maybe a woman gave birth to a child, so he asked him to come anyway. When he saw Liu Quan'er, he slapped his head and remembered that it turned out to be from the Hefu.Now he is thankful for his original brilliance, and he really made a fortune...
Dare to come here non-stop, and saw that gentle and elegant man walking around in front of the house. When my mother-in-law gave birth for the first time, it was a man like this, Zhou Wangyuan was not surprised at all.
It was noon when he came, and he calmly listened to the report from Mrs. Wen inside, and then gave orders.
He Shen looked at the doctor from the sidelines, not in a hurry, not in a hurry, not in a hurry, he was in a panic, he just wished he could urge the doctor, he couldn't take it anymore, so he wanted to say a few harsh words to the doctor However, Zhou Wangyuan pinched He Shen's seven inches, and said: "You can just wait here with peace of mind. When I felt the pulse of my wife, I was a little weaker, and I took good care of it. I will give birth to you soon." Here comes a big fat boy."
When he said this, it happened to be dusk, the sun had just sunk, and the snow in the entire courtyard was dripping down.
Feng Shuangzhi yelled in the room and suddenly became louder, and then there was no sound. He Shen didn't care too much, and rushed in, only to see a naked and fat baby brought out by the steady woman, who congratulated one after another: " Congratulations, you are a big fat boy!"
Immediately afterwards, two slaps were slapped on the boy's buttocks, and there was a "woo-wah", and the whole courtyard was filled with the boy's voice.
He Shen only thought that the child was ugly enough, but asked aside, "How is Madam?"
"It's okay, I drank the ginseng soup..."
He Shen only heard the word "it's okay" and passed away. Feng Shuangzhi's eyes were very blurred, and the hair on her forehead was temporarily covered with sweat. Her fingers curled up weakly, and He Shen came over and held her hand. hand, calling her name: "Shuangzhi..."
However, Feng Shuangzhi just looked at the front blankly, as if he saw him, but also as if he didn't see anything.
In Feng Shuangzhi's field of vision, He Shen's outline gradually became blurred again, and someone said outside: "It's just that I'm out of strength, and I'll be fine after a night of sleep. By the way, did your master have a name?"
"My lord said it was Ruiyuan..."
He Shen knew that she was tired, but saw her lips moving, as if she was talking about something, so he put his ear to it, and only heard one sentence: "Why did you hurt me..."
After that, her eyes were completely closed, and she fell asleep like this.
The dream is still very long.
