The Concubine's Survival Manual
Chapter 162
Chapter 162
Since Xu Fengjia got married to Qin Niangzi last year, he has no official position in the body. He is the deputy envoy of the pro-army command. When there is no war, of course he should work in the pro-army command department every day.It's just that this busy person is always busy with turning around every day, and he only went to the command department for a short half a month after he came back.Right now, he was having a quarrel with the emperor, and he simply said he was sick at home, and he didn't even go to the court meeting.
It's just that although he lives at home, he is never leisurely. Not only is the small study full of books and maps, military books and military history, but even Xisanjian has brought in many mansions and newspapers one after another. This is the same as the Nanyang Fengwuzhi of the previous dynasty. Seventh lady had breakfast every day and greeted the two elders. She went to see the housekeeper of the fifth young lady in Leshan residence. It was rare to come back when she was free. Gossip, although the two live under the same roof, Qin Niangzi spends three hours in Leshan residence every day, and often goes to bed before the second watch when she is tired. Over the past few days, they have just exchanged a few homely words that are neither painful nor itchy.
In the early morning of the [-]th day of February, Seventh Lady got up and was treated like a doll by a few maidservants with her sleepy eyes open. She changed into Chinese clothes and put on her head and face. After Xu Fengjia got up and punched her body clean, the two entered Leshan together. Ju and Qingpingyuan bid farewell to the two elders, and met Ping Guogong talking to Mrs. Tai in Leshan Juli, Xu Fengjia would inevitably be reprimanded a few words-father is strict and mother is kind, this is also a common scene between Daqin father and son.
After a long journey, Qin Niangzi got into the carriage and was escorted by Xu Fengjia on horseback when the sun was three poles high. Li Xia and other maids followed behind in a small cart, and they rushed out of the Duke's mansion from front to back, heading towards Guangfu on the Shichahai Sea is gone.
Although Guangfu Temple is not as good as Baiyun Temple, the incense is not deserted, because February is the birthday of the Taoist patriarch, and Guangfu Temple is the largest Taoist temple of Lao Tzu in the universe. From the beginning of February, there are rich families in Guangfu It is a practice to set up an altar for worship, but the Sun family has already invited the Sun family to go on the first day of February [-]th, so the Xiao family had to choose February [-]th.On Yandaixie Street, near the gate of Guangfu Temple, it was already crowded and quiet. A few soldiers stood by the gate: Although Xiao Zongbing's official position is not high, he has managed well in Jiangnan over the years, and he is from other places like other Zongbing soldiers A powerful official, with military power in his hands, and his family's behavior in the capital are much more noble than those poor Beijing officials.
Of course, the Xu family's carriage went straight into the gate, and Seventh Lady got out of the carriage in the carriage hall. A few young servants came up with the middle-aged steward, and asked with a smile on their faces, "My lord, young lady, be careful." feet, this gravel road is old."
Guangfu Temple is on the Shicha Seashore, and the scenery in early spring is also something to see. Seventh Lady followed Xu Fengjia one foot deep and one foot shallowly through the moss-covered gravel road, entered the backyard of the Taoist temple, and entered the Changxuan twice. A pair of young men and women left the room hand in hand, with smiles on their faces, she knew that they were Xiao Shiyu, the young master of the Xiao family, and Grandma Xiao.
The Xiao family has been with the Xu family for many years, and they go out every year and festival. Grandma Xiao Qi Niangzi has seen her before, but Xu Fengjia was not there during the Chinese New Year, so Xiao Shiyu did not come into the inner courtyard to greet Mrs. Xu.At this time, I casually looked at him and saw that his brows were fair, although he was not handsome, but he also had a rare elegance, so he nodded secretly in his heart: Xu Fengjia himself is a little bully, but the children of everyone who usually get along with him are very well-educated.
"Shen Ping!" Xu Fengjia seemed very happy to see her friend. After sweeping away the irritability and depression these days, she stepped forward and patted Xiao Shiyu's shoulder, laughing loudly. "You went to Jiangnan to visit relatives, and you gained a few pounds!"
Then he turned his head and told Seventh Lady, "Come and see Brother Xiao."
Seventh Lady wrapped her arms around her body to salute, Grandma Xiao also bowed to Xu Fengjia, then she took a wrong step and pulled Seventh Lady to smile, "During the Chinese New Year, I wanted to tell my brothers and sisters that our grandpa went to Jiangnan to visit relatives. , Brother and sister, if you have any local products you want to eat, just let me know, and it will be very convenient for our uncle to bring a car. Who knows that there are many things and many people, so I forgot!"
This is a young woman from the capital who always smiles. Although she has subtleties, she is very amiable on the surface.Perhaps because of the difference in identities between the Xiao family and the Xu family, she was very affectionate to Qin Niangzi, and didn't seem to care about her status as a house filler or a concubine. Qin Niangzi smiled slightly and reciprocated. "Sister-in-law Shi, don't be so polite, I'm ranked seventh, just call me Yang Qi."
Calling Ranking directly is a nickname for women.Grandma Xiao immediately smiled. "Okay, okay, I was also thinking, you young people, why are you so restrained..."
So he brought Qiniangzi into the back hall, and the two talked to each other while tasting tea.Not long after, Lin Zhongmian, the third young master of Yongning Bolin's family, and Tang Qing, the servant of the military department, came hand in hand, and the seventh lady inevitably went out to meet the ceremony. It was considered that the bride had met her husband's good friend.It was only then that male and female guests were divided into talking in the front and back halls. The men in the front hall were chatting and laughing endlessly. After a while, someone said that they wanted to play some plays.
The purpose of offering sacrifices is to pray for blessings, but it is also an excuse for wealthy families to have fun and relax.The Xiao family would go to Guangfu Temple to pray every year, even if the chief soldier and his wife were in office, at this time, the idlers inside and outside Guangfu Temple would all avoid them, just these young men and women rejoicing, how could the atmosphere not be relaxed?On the contrary, Seventh Lady was a little puzzled.
"Mrs. Lin Sanshao..." She asked Grandma Xiao with a hint of doubt.
Grandma Xiao smiled slightly, with a bit of sarcasm in her smile, obviously she was also very familiar with Mrs. Lin Sanshao. "She... I'm afraid she has committed an old problem again."
She lowered her voice and pouted her mouth outside. "Brother Lin San loves beauty. I heard from my family that Sansister Lin was only pregnant, so she picked up two more and made a perfect one! The roar of the east lion will inevitably ring out. The third young master is so frightened that he lives in my house." After a few days, the third sister-in-law Lin was so angry that she came to the door. The two husband and wife are still angry, so of course the third sister-in-law is in the mood to go out with her today?"
Although both of them are women, Grandma Xiao's expression is somewhat disdainful when mentioning the Third Young Madam, He Dong Shi Roar.
Qin Niangzi saw it in her eyes, and the depression in her heart increased.
In a big family, everything is respectful. It is common for young couples to quarrel. If outsiders know about the Lion's roar, it will damage the reputation of the boudoir. Grandma Xiao has a gentle personality, and she will show such an expression. It can be seen how difficult it is to be the young mistress of a wealthy family.
"But the third young master is too..." After all, the third young master was outside, and Seventh Lady also lowered her voice, pretending to be gossip. "At such a young age, there are ten aunts—"
"That's what I said!" Grandma Xiao patted the chair, with a look of hatred on her face, "Sister-in-law San feels aggrieved when I say it, but who is Brother San--" She compared her head, " Is the one in the yellow robe a backer? There is no one in the Lin family who can control him! He is rich, and he is willing to make such compromises, and he already hurts the third sister-in-law!"
Qin Niangzi didn't know what Lin Zhongmian did for a living, and she lost her expression for a while. Grandma Xiao saw it and hurriedly explained it to her. "You know about the Weaving Bureau, right? I heard that in Jiangnan, it's one of the richest places in the world, and ordinary people can't get in if they want to. But when the Weaving Bureau arrives in Beijing, it has to be established under the Zongzhengyuan. Si Guan, the third young master is the head of the manufacturing department. Is this a small income? The entire Lin family, even the young uncle, can't live a happy life like their third-bedroom. Isn't it all thanks to the third young master? of……"
She suddenly stopped talking, with remorse showing on her face, seeing that Qin Niangzi's face was pure and flawless, and she hurried to talk about this, so she continued. "This job is just relying on the third young master's biological mother. He is also related to that person. Otherwise, he might not know where he is going in the sand by himself!"
Seventh Lady covered her mouth cooperatively. "I don't know about the emperor and the Lin family..."
"Not many people know about this matter." Grandma Xiao was a little complacent: After all, as the Seventh Lady, it is very flattering to be obedient to advice at this time. "I also heard from my mother that she and the Lin family are also close relatives. You also know that the Zhou nobleman who went there is not from a high family background. She is a prostitute daughter. Mansion, to fill in the house of the old fourth master who died early in their family. The fourth master was also a concubine, and he went early. The fourth grandma had no companion by her side. Well, seeing that the third young master is a concubine, and he is still smart-an eyesore! So he simply sent the third young master to the fourth grandma's knee to adopt him, and raised him in the fourth wife's room until he was 15 years old. The fourth grandma passed away The uncle thought that the property of the fourth house was too small, so he took the third son back to their long house. I heard that Zhou Guiren has no other brothers and sisters, the only one is this younger sister. The third master doesn't go far or close, although sometimes we can see each other through the help of your family, but we don't have much to say to each other."
"After the bell of the first year of Taiping passed, the third young master would be well-off. The emperor insisted on promoting the original old director of the manufacturing department, and asked the third young master to buy a job title to become the director. This is not the only three In less than a year, a huge family business has been born? The third young master's hands are not very clean. Several times someone stabbed him up to try to get him, but the emperor personally protected them. As time goes by, no one in the whole family dares to talk to him Loud? He's getting more and more complacent, and he's pulled into the house when he sees a pretty one in the past few years! What can the third sister-in-law say?"
She sighed, "Oh, it's a pity, but the two sisters-in-law brought by herself are very displeased. The third young master likes the Tongfang that Mrs. Uncle rewarded..."
And chattered with Qin Niangzi for a long time, "Tongfang is still a caring and sensible one brought by my natal family", "This kind of thing must be prepared in advance, firmly hold the man's heart, let him know your virtuousness , to have a comfortable life."Hearing that Qin Niangzi's head was getting bigger, Xu Fengjia sent someone in to pick her up, saying, "If there is something to do at home, let's go first."
The crowd couldn't help exchanging polite greetings, and the couple of the Xu family came out of the Changxuan again. Xu Fengjia didn't ride a horse, and kept screaming coldly. in the car.Xiao Shiyu couldn't help laughing and teasing him, "Sheng Luan, there was a time when you were also afraid of the cold?"
He glanced at Seventh Lady in the car, and stopped talking.Grandma Xiao winked at Qin Niangzi, then pinched Xiao Shiyu, and said angrily, "Stop saying a few words!"
Xu Fengjia laughed, and said indifferently, "If Shen Ping goes out with Madam, I'm afraid she won't have the audacity to ride horses in the snow back then!"
Seventh Lady couldn't bear it any longer, she gave Xu Fengjia a blank look, and said angrily, "Will you become dumb if you don't say a few words?"
Amidst the laughter of the crowd, the boy bowed his body and closed the door of the car, the wheels rolled, and the group of people rushed forward and hugged back, pushing the chariot and horses out of Guangfu Temple.
After walking a few steps in the car, Xu Fengjia opened the window and told the boy, "You take my horse back first, and leave a boy and a maid to wait on it. I made an agreement with the abbot of Shichahai Temple in Jishuitan. Take the young lady over to offer a stick of incense."
He spoke, but of course the crowd had no other reply. Not long after, Li Xia sat on the side of the car, wearing a veil to hide his face, and looked around curiously all the way, looking at the city scene around the Bell and Drum Tower, and Seventh Lady looked at it through the door. In the past, she felt that she was much more at ease than he was in the car.
She stepped back again, giving space to Xu Fengjia, and then she lowered her head and pondered, thinking about what Grandma Xiao said just now.
Although Zhou Guiren has passed away for many years, her figure seems to have never completely dissipated.First of all, even the relationship between the eunuch and her, and the extraordinary good fortune of Mr. Lin, all seem to imply that the emperor has not forgotten his biological mother.
Combined with his attitude towards the two adoptive mothers who are neither far nor close, Qin Niangzi has a little more understanding of this noble person who has never met before: this person is probably another Ninth Brother, or in other words, every adopted person in the world In his heir's heart, there was always a biological mother complex that he couldn't let go of.
"Hey, I remembered now." She chatted with Xu Fengjia. "The emperor has honored the empress dowager and the concubine, why haven't I heard that he chased after Zhou nobleman?"
Xu Fengjia was also pondering at first, but when she heard Qin Niangzi's words, she came back to her senses and answered absent-mindedly, "The prince moved to the palace to be raised at the age of three, and two adoptive mothers are better than his own mother. I'm afraid Zhou Guiren has long been forgotten. Actually, the Ministry of Rites should also ask for this kind of matter... However, the Ministry of Rites has been in a mess these past few years, and the Shang Shu is an in-law of the Niu family, so this matter has been put on hold."
Seventh Lady nodded thoughtfully.
If she wasn't Ninth Brother's twin sister, I'm afraid she wouldn't be so sure about the emperor's psychology: Of course, it's just a guess, but from Ninth Brother's mind, it is precisely because he was not by his biological mother's side since he was a child that he regretted not being able to fulfill his filial piety. The longer it is, the more brooding this regret will be.
The emperor didn't take the initiative to chase after Zhou nobleman, probably because he thought that he had not been enthroned soon, and the Xu family and the Niu family were both available, so he didn't want to chill the hearts of his relatives.At this time, whoever can explain this thought to the emperor, this kind of favor is not small.In the future, facing the scene is likely to be a very heavy emotional weight.
She ran through several of her relatives in her mind.
Although the elder needs this possible favor very much, but he is an important politician, it is too naive to talk about feelings with the emperor.
The Sun family is now at the time when the fire is cooking oil. If there is more, there is not much favor, and if there is less, there is a lot of favor. The queen's status is precious, so if she speaks rashly, it is easy to quarrel with the empress dowager and the concubine.
Liu Niangzi is too soft-spoken, now is not the time for her to speak out.
She propped her head on one hand and looked at Xu Fengjia.
This favor was probably exactly what Xu Fengjia needed.He and the emperor grew up together, and the friendship between them is always stronger than that of ordinary people.Just now because of the Nanyang incident, I had a quarrel with the emperor, I am afraid that there will be no anxiety in my heart. Once the favor is sent out, the emperor may be moved, and the favor may be restored as before, and the special kindness may even be better than usual.
but……
She thought of Qi Qiao's cry of extreme fear, the disdain on Grandma Xiao's face, and the words that countless people had repeated to her.
"It's better to bring the Tongfang home!"
Seventh Lady's eyes gradually turned cold.
"What?" Xu Fengjia asked absent-mindedly, and he pinched the tip of Qiniangzi's nose affectionately. "What are you thinking about?"
"I'm thinking," Seventh Lady whispered to herself. "It's better to ask for others than to ask for yourself. You have to be able to stand up for many things before you are qualified to ask others..."
Her eyes gradually focused on Xu Fengjia's face, and she smiled kindly at him.
The car dealership gradually slowed down. This plain green car turned a corner and disappeared in the alley of Anfufang Jiaochang. Qin Niangzi raised the curtain and saw the Ruyi Gate faintly through the glass window full of mist. On the small wooden sign next to it, there are simple words "Fengfu".

Since Xu Fengjia got married to Qin Niangzi last year, he has no official position in the body. He is the deputy envoy of the pro-army command. When there is no war, of course he should work in the pro-army command department every day.It's just that this busy person is always busy with turning around every day, and he only went to the command department for a short half a month after he came back.Right now, he was having a quarrel with the emperor, and he simply said he was sick at home, and he didn't even go to the court meeting.

She went to see the housekeeper of the fifth young lady in Leshan residence. It was rare to come back when she was free.

After a long journey, Qin Niangzi got into the carriage and was escorted by Xu Fengjia on horseback when the sun was three poles high.

So he brought Qiniangzi into the back hall, and the two talked to each other while tasting tea.Not long after, Lin Zhongmian, the third young master of Yongning Bolin's family, and Tang Qing, the servant of the military department, came hand in hand, and the seventh lady inevitably went out to meet the ceremony.

If she wasn't Ninth Brother's twin sister, I'm afraid she wouldn't be so sure about the emperor's psychology: Of course, it's just a guess, but from Ninth Brother's mind, it is precisely because he was not by his biological mother's side since he was a child that he regretted not being able to fulfill his filial piety. The longer it is, the more brooding this regret will be.
The emperor didn't take the initiative to chase after Zhou nobleman, probably because he thought that he had not been enthroned soon, and the Xu family and the Niu family were both available, so he didn't want to chill the hearts of his relatives.At this time, whoever can explain this thought to the emperor, this kind of favor is not small.In the future, facing the scene is likely to be a very heavy emotional weight.
She ran through several of her relatives in her mind.
Although the elder needs this possible favor very much, but he is an important politician, it is too naive to talk about feelings with the emperor.
The Sun family is now at the time when the fire is cooking oil. If there is more, there is not much favor, and if there is less, there is a lot of favor. The queen's status is precious, so if she speaks rashly, it is easy to quarrel with the empress dowager and the concubine.
Liu Niangzi is too soft-spoken, now is not the time for her to speak out.
She propped her head on one hand and looked at Xu Fengjia.
This favor was probably exactly what Xu Fengjia needed.He and the emperor grew up together, and the friendship between them is always stronger than that of ordinary people.Just now because of the Nanyang incident, I had a quarrel with the emperor, I am afraid that there will be no anxiety in my heart. Once the favor is sent out, the emperor may be moved, and the favor may be restored as before, and the special kindness may even be better than usual.
but……
She thought of Qi Qiao's cry of extreme fear, the disdain on Grandma Xiao's face, and the words that countless people had repeated to her.
"It's better to bring the Tongfang home!"
Seventh Lady's eyes gradually turned cold.
"What?" Xu Fengjia asked absent-mindedly, and he pinched the tip of Qiniangzi's nose affectionately. "What are you thinking about?"
"I'm thinking," Seventh Lady whispered to herself. "It's better to ask for others than to ask for yourself. You have to be able to stand up for many things before you are qualified to ask others..."
Her eyes gradually focused on Xu Fengjia's face, and she smiled kindly at him.
The car dealership gradually slowed down. This plain green car turned a corner and disappeared in the alley of Anfufang Jiaochang. Qin Niangzi raised the curtain and saw the Ruyi Gate faintly through the glass window full of mist. On the small wooden sign next to it, there are simple words "Fengfu".
