The Concubine's Survival Manual

Chapter 235

The Feng family's population is small, and the lunch was not very lively, and the male and female guests were divided into places. Seventh Lady, Mrs. Feng, and Feng Ling ate in the inner hall, but Feng Jin personally entertained Xu Fengjia in the garden.

Ever since Xu Fengjia came back, Seventh Lady seldom ate alone. When Xu Fengjia went out, Shiro and Goro came in to harass her from time to time. Now that she was sitting opposite Mrs. Feng and Feng Ling, she felt that there was no child at home, and she was indeed less angry. .

After lunch, Mrs. Feng was going to take a nap as usual, and Feng Ling was busy serving the old man again, so Seventh Lady said goodbye and went out, "Take a walk in the garden."

Then he supported Li Xia and walked around in the small garden of the Feng family.

Although the Feng family occupies a large area, its population is much smaller than that of the Xu family.It's not as good as Xiao Cuijin in winter, all the corridors have thick cotton curtains, and once the windows are closed and the stove is turned on, it is really warm wherever you go.Looking out, you can see the figures of the maids talking and laughing in Xiao Cui Jin.

Qin Niang supported Li Xia and took a walk in the small garden, feeling colder and colder as she walked.She was about to send someone out to inquire about Xu Fengjia's whereabouts, and then invite Feng Jin in to talk about Liu Niangzi's affairs, when someone behind her laughed and said, "It's only you, come out for a stroll when you're full , this is someone else's house!"

"Aren't you the same? This is the inner courtyard of someone else's house. What are you doing breaking in?" Seventh Lady turned her head, smiled and scolded Xu Fengjia, then stepped forward to fold his collar, and frowned again, " How much alcohol did you drink? The smell of alcohol!"

Xu Fengjia waved his hand indifferently. "I didn't drink much, I just put a jug of wine on my body, so you can smell it."

He whispered in Seventh Lady's ear again. "I persuaded her a little bit. Seeing that your cousin is already interested, he is just a little bit too late. When you go to talk about Sixth Sister later, try harder, and maybe he will also step down."

Although Xu Fengjia drank some of Feng Jin's dry vinegar, the two couples quickly reached a tacit understanding: about the sixth lady, she still has to tell Feng Jin herself.

Seventh Lady nodded knowingly, watched Xu Fengjia turn into the clean room along the corridor, and then smiled and said to Lixia, "Come on, let's go back to the inner hall and sit for a while——I've been standing here for a long time, I really want it from the bottom of my heart. Come out cold."

Li Xia also sighed in a low voice, "Looking at the appearance of my uncle and wife... I also feel that the glory and wealth are very tasteless."

Only the relationship between Li Xia and Qin Niangzi can say such things.

Thinking of Mrs. Feng's unyielding fighting spirit when she was in trouble many years ago, and thinking of the loneliness of Feng's family under the power and money, she was filled with emotion for a while, and sighed slowly, "Indeed , glory and wealth are really nothing compared to having grandchildren."

For a moment, she thought of Jiu Yiniang, the garden in the secret room that was close at hand, and the eunuch Lian in the palace.

There are always many regrets in the hardships and loneliness of the ages, which cannot be made up by manpower.

After Mrs. Feng fell asleep, Feng Ling came out to entertain Seventh Lady, and talked to her about household chores.

Although the two of them didn't meet many times, Seventh Lady had a good impression of this maverick cousin. Of course, she never talked about Xu's family affairs, but she also had a lot of interesting things to say.Qin Niangzi picked it up and talked to Feng Ling, and then smiled and mentioned a few things about Shiro and Goro's daily life.

"There is a child in the family, so it is extremely busy, let alone two young masters." Qin Niangzi said while observing Feng Ling's face. "In the past year, I didn't have much time to embroider. At the end of the year, I just made a few bellybands. However, the two children grew up too fast. The size measured at the beginning of the year was much smaller by the end of the year. .”

Feng Ling's eyes flickered, and she was very yearning to hear it. "When Shanheng gives birth to a baby in the future, you must often bring her to our place to show me."

She couldn't help showing a little loneliness. "Apart from taking care of my mother and housework, I don't have much to do."

Qin Niangzi persuaded her on camera, "Although being a daughter-in-law has many hardships, the happiness of husband and wife and family happiness are also indispensable. If you don't want to suffer the hardships of being a daughter-in-law, you can recruit a husband through childbirth..."

Feng Ling's face was not without emotion, she bit her lower lip, pondered for a long time, and then said in a low voice. "It's not that I don't have such thoughts, especially my brother... It doesn't look like he is going to get married. The surname of the Feng family can't be cut off just like that. It's just that our family's situation is too special. Even if I have this idea, I don’t know how to find it…”

Thinking of Feng Jin's sensitive identity, Seventh Lady was speechless for a moment. Most of the families she interacted with were either rich or noble. Even if a small number of families were ordinary, they all had huge forces in the military and political circles as their backing—otherwise, how could they have any status? To associate with her?Even if she wanted to contribute to Feng Ling's marriage, she was powerless.

When the two were relatively silent, a report came from outside: Feng Jin asked Seventh Lady to go to the small study outside, and had something to discuss with her.

The two are close relatives, and Qin Niangzi is already a married woman, so she doesn't have to strictly follow the division between men and women like Feng Ling.She led Li Xia out of the inner courtyard, and was guided back and forth by someone else, who surrounded Seventh Lady into the small study.

Feng Jin was standing in a small greenhouse outside the small study, looking through the frosted glass, he seemed to be bending over, tending an orchid.

At that time, although glass was not a rare thing, but it was possible to build a glass greenhouse outside the study, such a handicraft, and no one from a wealthy family did not have such courage.

When Qiniangzi entered the conservatory, she suddenly felt a rush of heat, she closed the door and left Lixia outside.

Just seeing that Feng Jin knew how to arrange the meeting place in a glass greenhouse, one knew that it was not a fluke that this person was able to sit where he is today.

Although there are two things, he will only help Feng Jin if Qin Niangzi confesses clearly to her. Even though Xu Fengjia is not very jealous, there is always a bit of jealousy between the two of them talking in the room. Said, the bottom of my heart may not care.But in the glass conservatory, outsiders can clearly see every move and talk, and the maids are guarding outside, so there is a bit of a taste of the wind and the moon.

Feng Jin was able to consider and arrange such small details so properly.It's so heart-wrenching, I can't fault it at all.

Seeing Qiniangzi coming in, he straightened up, took a muslin cloth, and wiped his hands that were somewhat soiled.

"Well, there's a little bit of blush." ​​After examining Qin Niangzi seriously, he nodded with a smile.

Seventh Lady's heart felt warm.

Although she didn't see her once or twice a year, she could always feel Feng Jin's sincere care every time they met.

"My cousin has lost a little weight." She also examined Feng Jin with concern, and said sincerely. "Is this always not very happy?"

If last year at this time, Feng Jin was a blooming flower, although it was lonely, it was still in full bloom, then at this moment, Feng Jin is already somewhat haggard, like a piece of dusty porcelain, although beautiful, But it was too lonely.

Feng Jin smiled slightly.

"Xianheng asked the question knowingly." His attitude was surprisingly calm. "Although I have been prepared for a long time, how can I be happy at this point?"

Without waiting for Seventh Lady to reply, he asked again, "I heard from my cousin-in-law that you have two things that you want to entrust to me in private... Is he treating you well?"

Seventh Lady blushed slightly, but did not answer.

She didn't need to say anything, Feng Jin had already smiled happily. "Seeing you this year, you seem to be much happier."

Seeing that the blush on Qin Niangzi's face gradually deepened, he said leisurely again, "What's the matter, even my cousin-in-law can't speak for me, and you want to tell me in person? I'm a little curious——Shan Heng, sit down." Let's talk."

This flower room is actually not too big, there are only a dozen orchids placed in sequence, and there is a stone table and chairs in the depths, and there are four treasures of the study on it: it can be seen that this is the place where Feng Jin often lives.

Seventh Lady moved slowly to the table and sat down, and told about Xiao Songhua. "Actually, this matter involves the scandal of the Xu family after all. Shengluan is proud and arrogant. Although I acquiesced to ask my cousin for help, I can't speak up in person no matter what."

After a pause, she added with some embarrassment, "It's really overkill to bother my cousin for such a small matter, but... I really can't think of any other way, so I can only ask my cousin for help... "
