The Concubine's Survival Manual

Chapter 144

Seventh Lady looked at Xu Fengjia in a daze.

The words of Mrs. Fifth Young Master sounded in her mind.

"It's just that when we heard about the son's errand, we were very worried from the bottom of our hearts. What if something goes wrong..."

Although the young master has already given birth to three sons, he himself has only donated a small amount of fame and fame, usually only doing housework, and doesn't know anything about military affairs.

If Xu Fengjia died at this moment, the beneficiaries could only be the fourth and fifth young masters.

Both of them were indeed working in the army. It is said that the fourth young master did a good job at the border, and the fifth young master was always popular among the guards.

Who would want to take advantage of the chaos to kill Xu Fengjia?
"Who is behind the scenes will not be found out for a while." Xu Fengjia sneered. "Whoever did this must have done it without anyone noticing it. It's just that under such circumstances, it is absolutely impossible for me to go away for a few years. The Qi family governs the country and the world, and my backyard is on fire... ...How else can we manage the affairs of the state?"

It seems that he used this reason to convince Ping Guogong.

Seventh Lady could not help but let out a long sigh from the bottom of her heart.

It is really difficult to be the mistress of the capital.This intricate interpersonal relationship, step-by-step scheming... the little thought in Baifangyuan is nothing compared to it.

There are so many masters in the female family, none of them are simple characters, and the males are not at ease.

"Do you have any guesses in your heart?" Unexpectedly, she lowered her voice.

Now is not the time to be awkward with Xu Fengjia!In the face of human life, we must first join hands to level the inner house, and then we can only give others an opportunity to make trouble first.

Qin Niangzi also immediately understood why Xu Fengjia's attitude changed suddenly when he returned to Beijing: he would only know this truth better than himself.

"What guesses can I have?" Xu Fengjia spread his hands, with a sneer on his face. "The fourth brother and the fifth brother grew up with their grandmother. Although we lived under the same roof, we were very different in age. From childhood to adulthood, we rarely got along with each other. I went to the Northwest with my father seven or eight years ago. Afterwards, it was very difficult to live in the capital for two or three months a year during the southern and northern wars. Not to mention the inner house, I am not familiar with the outer house at all."

Of course, the young general has boundless scenery, but he has to give up more things than ordinary people.

Qin Niangzi and Xu Fengjia didn't speak for a while.

After a long time, Qin Niangzi spoke softly.

"There are priorities. In my opinion, it's better to close the emperor first. After you shirk Nanyang's errands, let's sit down and discuss the family affairs!"

Xu Fengjia couldn't help but flirt with Qin Niangzi.

At home and outside, there were so many troubles, but her tone was still so clear and quiet, like a mountain spring in midsummer, with a cool tingling.

"Okay." He let out a bad breath, and agreed without hesitation. "Just do as you say."

The lights were already on outside the house, and in the distance, several women were walking around with lanterns. Seventh Lady looked at the gold-encrusted chime clock in the corner of the house, and urged Xu Fengjia, "I'll talk about other things after dinner, go first Look at Shiro and Goro!"

Xu Fengjia seemed to have just remembered that he still had a pair of sons. He hurriedly stood up, but he was a little at a loss. He took a look at Seventh Lady, pursed his lips, stood still, and said instead, "You don't come here together. ?”

Qin Niangzi had already visited Silang and Goro in the middle of the afternoon, and she didn't want to go there at first, but seeing Xu Fengjia's helpless look, her heart softened.

"It's good to have a look together." She led Xu Fengjia out of the West Sanjian, and introduced to him, "There are not many people living in the East Wing, just the two adoptive mothers living in it with Shiro and Goro, and Several maids took turns to go to night, I didn't let the lock in Fifth Sister's daily living room, I arranged a small Buddhist altar, and there is Dongji room..."

He acted as a tour guide for Xu Fengjia all the way, and then brought him into the Dongji Room where Shiro and Goro lived daily.

This used to be Fifth Lady's bedroom, and of course it occupies a large area. Now it is arranged as a nursery, just like a small kindergarten. Seventh Lady has arranged several areas for living, washing and playing. A thick cotton blanket was laid, and shoes had to be changed when going in and out.The corners of the furniture were covered with cotton pads. Shiro and Goro were chasing each other in the room. Goro laughed very loudly. The two adoptive mothers and Gu Yuchun equinox were all watching with a smile and applauding to cheer for the two children. , the atmosphere inside the house is natural and warm.

Seeing a stranger coming, the two children reacted differently.

Shiro was afraid of being unfamiliar, so he timidly returned to his adoptive mother's lap, hugged the middle-aged woman's knee, and glanced at Xu Fengjia with his eyes, looking a little scared.Wu Lang didn't recognize his life at all, he ran over with a smile, hugged Qin Niangzi's thigh, and shouted, "Qi Yi!"

Seventh Lady smiled and bent down to pick up Goro, then waved to Shiro, and introduced, "My name is Daddy."

But the two children didn't give Xu Fengjia face very much. Shiro blinked his big eyes, looked at Xu Fengjia, then at Seventh Lady, then at his adoptive mother, and lowered his head to look at his toes.

As for Goro, while playing with his fingers, he looked at Xu Fengjia curiously, but he didn't mean to call him daddy at all.

A rare embarrassment appeared on Xu Fengjia's face, and he sat down on the edge of the kang, and reached out to touch Shiro's forehead - Shiro's neck shrank, but his hand was empty.

"Silang and Wulang, you can tell them apart, right?" Seventh Lady had no choice but to break the deadlock and take the initiative to smooth things over.He winked at the two adoptive mothers: in front of Xu Fengjia, the two middle-aged women were as obedient as cats, and quietly left the house with their heads down. "The one in my arms is Goro, and the one in yours is Shiro."

"Hmm." Xu Fengjia responded indiscriminately, reached out and teased Shiro's cheek again, and said with a smile, "Shiro, it's Daddy, call him Daddy."

The two children did not respond. Indeed, in their lives, the father did not occupy any place at all.

Qin Niangzi hurriedly gave Gu Yu and Chun Equinox a few winks, and they came forward to coax the two little ancestors to recognize their father. After a long time of fuss, they finally let the two children call him father——Shiro just made a random sound, Only then did everyone breathe a sigh of relief.

Qin Niangzi took advantage of the situation and stabbed Xu Fengjia, "The child always has to be brought up by his side before kissing you..."

She put Goro on the ground and asked him to play with Shiro, but the two children had already become interested in Xu Fengjia at this time, Goro took Shiro and staggered to Xu Fengjia's side, smiling and asking Xu Fengjia to hug him.

Xu Fengjia looked at the pair of young children, with a trace of melancholy on his face. He sighed, bent down to pick up the two children, and picked up two or three gadgets to tease Shiro and Goro, and said softly.

"Whether to kiss or not, he is also my son... Strict father and loving mother, that is, it hurts for a few years now, and after remembering, I can't hurt anymore."

Qin Niangzi was rather disapproving, wanted to say something, but swallowed it with a smile.She sat with him for a while, and seeing Shiro rubbing his eyes while crawling into her arms, she hugged him and smiled, "What does Shiro want?"

Shiro waved his hands and shouted inarticulately, "Fan..."

Only then did Qiniangzi realize that it was already dinner time.

Of course, the aristocratic families in Daqin could not be the same as the later generations. The family, regardless of age, sat together to eat.Si Lang and Wu Lang had their own adoptive mothers and their maids took them to eat. Xu Fengjia sat down again, then got up and went back to Xici room for dinner with Seventh Lady.

No words were eaten, no words were slept, the meal was very silent, but the tension between the two of them finally disappeared.Qin Niangzi's stiff back could also slowly relax.

Or because three months ago, Xu Fengjia's business affairs were not going well, and his mood was at a low ebb, so his attitude towards himself was naturally much stricter.Perhaps it was because he had experienced a lot in the past three months. Although Xu Fengjia was deep at this time, she no longer made his requests public all the time, which made Qi Niangzi very nervous.

After eating, the two changed to new tea and sat opposite each other in front of the kang.

Qin Niangzi has always liked to read books, and in a place as good as the capital, there are naturally countless prose legends for her to read to relieve boredom.She read half a volume of the newly published series of "Biography of the Sons and Daughters of Gold and Jade", and raised her eyes to look at Xu Fengjia.

But Xu Fengjia had already leaned against the kang, propped himself up with his left hand, and supported a bound ink scroll with his right hand, and a few strands of forehead hair slipped before his eyes, making him stretch out his hands from time to time—he was reading the mansion newspaper,

I don't know where he got a thick mansion newspaper, Qin Niangzi glanced at it, and found that this is the mansion newspaper of the past two months, it has been bound according to the date, Xu Fengjia has obviously read part of it, Now I have begun to study the court's movements in late September.
