The Concubine's Survival Manual

Chapter 234

The young couple fights and fights, and they are charming, so naturally they are not humane, after half a night of arguing, when they get up the next morning, they are naturally reconciled.The two of them sat down with Mrs. Tai—it was rare that Duke Ping was there, and Xu Fengjia used another excuse to go to Xiao's house for a small gathering and to take Qin Niangzi out for a day.

If it was another family, Mrs. Tai might not let him go, but since Empress Xiao'an was appointed, the third master of the Lin family has become a big celebrity in the court and the public. Mrs. Tai not only agreed, but also ordered him to do so in front of everyone. Seventh Lady, "You can get closer to the third young lady of the Lin family."

Although the family of the rich and powerful has its own strength of character, it is also human nature to follow the trend.When Mrs. Tai said this, everyone looked as usual, and Mrs. Fourth Young Master even joked with Mrs. Seven, "I wish I could go instead of my sixth sibling."

Qin Niangzi bent her eyes, avoiding the serious and taking the light. "It also depends on whether we are compatible or not. Maybe people look down on us, and we don't have to rush to go to Afu. That would be boring."

Mrs. Tai replied again and again, "Of course, what the sixth grandson said makes sense. Although our family is only a middle-class family, it is not without backbone."

Since Qiniangzi took over the housework, Mrs. Tai's attitude towards Qiniangzi has become more and more softened. Not only did she not hide her needles, but she actually showed some sincere appreciation in her words.For a conversation like today, only Fifth Young Master and Fifth Young Madam could have such treatment in the past.When Mrs. Tai said this, others could do it. The first one, Yu An, couldn't help but want to go to see the fifth room.

The fifth young master felt a little unnatural, he raised his voice, and exaggeratedly talked about the business outside with the fourth young master. ——Since last summer, Ping Guogong personally made the decision to punish Zhang Accountant's family, and Wu Xun's family followed suit in the twelfth lunar month, Fifth Young Master often seemed a little unnatural.

On the other hand, Mrs. Fifth Young Master was as calm as still water, and she didn't seem to be surprised by Mrs. Tai's favor towards Liufang. She even raised her eyes, smiled kindly at Mrs. Seventh, and said softly, "Sixth younger siblings are really born to be the masters of the family. Whether soft or hard, neither humble nor overbearing, is the reason for people like us to act."

Qin Niangzi shrank her pupils and laughed along with Mrs. Fifth Young Master. "Fifth sister-in-law is really polite..."

If she didn't know Mrs. Fifth very well, she might have thought that this cruel and vicious person had already been subdued by herself, and she didn't dare to show a trace of unruliness.

She glanced at Ping Guogong, and couldn't help sighing from the bottom of her heart.

This fifth young lady is indeed a rare opponent in her life.In the past six months, she kept a low profile and never opposed herself at all. She was always polite to herself at all times.I am afraid that he has earned back a lot of impression points in Duke Pingguo's heart.

When confronting such a person, the word "nin" is spelled out. Whoever can't help but make a move first will probably fall behind.And the fifth young lady suffered a loss last time because she didn't bear it home. It's hard to say whether she will make the same mistake this time.

Coming out of Xu's house, Xu Fengjia took Qin Niangzi to Xiao's house for a walk, then left, and one or two confidantes and Li Xia followed and served them, wandering east and west in Sijiu City, and soon entered the teaching A small courtyard at the end of the alley.

This time, Feng Jin still greeted Xu Fengjia in person, but his attitude was much more casual, and he was no longer as polite as if he met Xu Fengjia for the first time, with a three-point alienation in his politeness.

"Your Majesty." He greeted with a touch of casualness, "Cousin."

In front of Seventh Lady, Xu Fengjia didn't have many good things to say about Feng Jin, but it was much more decent on the scene. He affectionately hugged Feng Jin who was going to salute, and said with a smile, "You are welcome, cousin!"

He also told Seventh Lady, "It's me and Mrs. Yang who want to salute my cousin."

Seventh Lady pursed her lips and smiled, and saluted Feng Jin in a polite manner. "Cousin, Happy New Year."

I haven't seen her for many years, but Feng Jin's demeanor is still the same as before. Although the description is a little clearer, but the gentle demeanor has been refined by the years to become softer and more rounded.He looked at Qin Niangzi carefully for a while, and then smiled, "My cousin looks very happy too."

Glancing at Xu Fengjia again, he joked, "It's always because my cousin-in-law is in Beijing this year."

Xu Fengjia immediately laughed out loud, and his complacency was beyond words.He patted Feng Jin on the shoulder and said with a smile, "It's rare for cousin to be so funny. How is it? I rarely see you this winter. After asking around, they all said that cousin is not in good health..."

So he and Feng Jin entered the room first, shoulder to shoulder.

Qin Niangzi was a little helpless, she shook her head, and laughed to herself: With Xu Fengjia's usual arrogance, he can do this, and he has given himself enough face.Even if you still have a three-point leave, you can't ask for more.

Although it was inconvenient for Mrs. Feng and Feng Ling to come out to meet them, they naturally sent the maids to guide them, and took Seventh Lady into the house to meet each other.Mrs. Feng asked Feng Ling to help her take a look, "See if Shanheng has gained weight or lost weight!"

Her eyes are blank, she seems to be completely blind, and she has to be guided by Feng Ling and maids in her actions. She is only half a hundred years old, but her hair is more than half gray.Seeing it in her eyes, Qin Niangzi couldn't help but feel a little sad, she smiled and waved her hand at Feng Ling, and said softly, "Auntie, please rest assured... Shi Zi is very good to me, Xiao Qi has become much stronger in the past year .”

Mrs. Feng nodded repeatedly, "It's good to be strong, it's good to be strong."

Can't help showing a little sentimentality. "When will I have a big fat boy, and I will see my aunt in my arms, and my aunt will just..." Halfway through the words, he swallowed again.

Feng Ling and Qiniangzi's eyes met, and both of them hesitated to speak: Although Mrs. Feng didn't say anything, she still seemed to mind that Feng Jin was still not married at this age.

But in this matter, no one dared to urge Feng Jin, and Qin Niangzi naturally couldn't touch this taboo, and judging from Feng Ling's expression, it seemed that she didn't intend to urge her brother on behalf of her mother.

Seventh Lady quickly changed the subject. "When I visited last year, Mr. Huang had only left Beijing not long ago. I'm afraid he didn't have much contact with his aunt and cousin. If she didn't return to Beijing this year, she might have settled down in another place. I don't know if there is any letter. ?”

Those words really caught Mrs. Feng's attention.The middle-aged woman suddenly turned her head and looked at Qin Niangzi with concern. "Shan Heng is so anxious to find Mr. Huang, is it because of the Xianxiu Square?"

When she mentioned Xianxiufang, Qin Niang felt a little ashamed: I had too many things this year, and I was very busy, and the semicolon given by the eldest wife was in the south of the Yangtze River. Speaking of which, I really didn't put much effort into managing this dowry.

"That's not true." She glanced at Mrs. Feng, thinking about it, going back and forth, and finally, she told the truth. "There are some past events in the past, and I want to ask Mr. Huang. It's just that the person who delivered the letter went to Yuhang, but he couldn't find it. The local people said that Mr. Huang did not return to his hometown. They asked us instead, thinking that Mr. Huang People are still in Beijing."

Huang Xiuniang is an unmarried woman who is not in the capital. Everyone naturally thought that she had gone home. Unexpectedly, there was no trace of her in Yuhang.Even if such a duckweed-like woman died on the way, no one would collect her body. Not to mention Mrs. Feng, even Feng Ling is very concerned. "Or you can ask brother..."

"It's true that your brother has some authority, but it's not something that people in our boudoir can command at will as a private weapon!" Mrs. Feng's face changed suddenly, and she sternly reprimanded.

Feng Ling immediately lowered her head without making a sound.Mrs. Feng let out another long breath, and then said to Qin Niangzi wearily, "This is really a joke for Shanheng... It is precisely because of the power in Zixiu's hands that his life is trembling, at such an old age I don't even dare to have a wife..."

Seventh Lady is clear in her heart: Mrs. Feng is here to silence her in advance, so that it is difficult for Seventh Lady to mention that Feng Jin should track down Huang Xiuniang's whereabouts.

It seems that Mrs. Feng is not without secrets about the past.It is even very possible that Huang Xiuniang's whereabouts were covered up by her.

She agreed quietly. "Cousin Zixiu is indeed dedicated to the country and the people..."
