Rebirth of a famous family: Mala's first wife

Chapter 92
With Mei Xiaodong's intervention, Fu Junya improved miraculously, and walked around the next day.Considering that the task assigned by Mrs. Mei should not be delayed, the Yin mother and daughter wrote a post to Mrs. Zhizhou after discussing it, and agreed to visit Zhizhou's mansion the next day.

It was a snowy day that day.The world is covered with silver, a piece of dazzling whiteness.The mother and daughter dressed up a bit, wrapped themselves in thick cloaks, brought only a few personal entourages, and went out in a soft sedan chair with blue curtains.

When they came to Zhizhou Mansion, Mrs. Zhizhou and Miss Zhizhou personally led a group of maids and women to greet them at the second gate.

Mrs. Yin took Fu Junya's hand and said with a smile: "Sister, how are you doing these days? I heard from our master that the plum blossoms in the house are blooming just right. My little daughter has always loved plum blossoms the most, and I can't wait to come and have a look." gone."

Mrs. Zhizhou said with a cheerful smile: "It's just what you like to see. People should see the flowers when they bloom, otherwise the flowers will be lonely, right? It's just that you came last time, because it was a night banquet, so I didn't bring you Went to the garden. Come back today, stepping on the snow and looking for plum blossoms, just let me, my niece, see it all!"

It made Fu Junya a little ashamed to say it.She pursed her lips and smiled, obediently followed Mrs. Zhizhou and Mrs. Yin, and the group walked along the Chaoshou corridor to the inner courtyard.

Because of the severe cold, the banquet venue was set in a flower hall closest to the garden.The window of the flower hall is open, and a corner of red plums can be seen, and there is a cold wind blowing in, sending a little plum fragrance, which is pleasant to the heart.

Mrs. Yin and Mrs. Zhizhou leaned against the stove, eating some fruit and talking gossip.After sitting down for a while, Fu Junya pleaded guilty, and followed Miss Zhizhou to enjoy plum blossoms in the garden.Mrs. Zhizhou left a few maids and women in the room to wait, and sent the others to follow the two young ladies carefully so that they would not fall on the ice.Everyone obeyed and said yes, and went.

Yin took her eyes away from the two girls outside the window, and sighed with a smile: "Sister, look, does my daughter look like a monkey? I always pester her brother to play with her. I thought it was you In this mansion, she can live a little more peacefully, but who knows that she has reverted to her old ways and entangled this young lady in the mansion!"

Mrs. Zhizhou laughed and said: "What's the matter! You and I are all from here, didn't we all come here when we were young? Well, speaking of us women, when we get married, we lose all freedom. Anyway Such a carefree life is only a few years, let them play if they want to play!" After speaking, he picked up the tea bowl and took two sips of hot tea.

Yin nodded with a smile, "Sister is right! I thought so too, so I let her out."

While chatting and laughing, she secretly looked at the servants in the room while turning sideways to get the fruit.I saw that there were a few maids in their twenties standing far away in the corner waiting for orders.Their respectful postures looked a little stiff, and the clothes on their bodies were still brand new, but their expressions were timid, as if they were newcomers not long ago.

Mrs. Zhizhou said angrily: "Exactly. I heard that there are guests in your house, and I wonder how you can come out."

This question hit the right point, Yin's heart was overjoyed, but there was a normal look on his brows and eyes.She was peeling nuts in her hand, looking at Mrs. Zhizhou, with a slightly mysterious smile, "Oh, my sister doesn't know, our guest is the most unruly, he goes out early every day, and only comes back at night, one day. The three meals are not eaten in our house, but I am happy to be free."

"Oh? There are such guests who don't look like guests?" Mrs. Zhizhou, as the wife of an official family, is very sensitive to those abnormal personnel affairs. Hearing this, she immediately became interested and stared at Yin's expectantly.

Unexpectedly, Yin Shi looked around, but stopped talking.

Mrs. Zhizhou followed her gaze, and quickly understood, and nodded to the two big girls beside her, "Caiping, take the newcomers down. Sumei, stay and serve .”

"Yes, ma'am." Everyone saluted and agreed, filed out, and quickly left.Only the one named Sumei was left, still standing respectfully behind Mrs. Zhizhou.It was a simple-looking woman in a blue dress with light makeup. Seeing Mrs. Zhizhou's kind attitude towards her, it was obvious that she was a confidant for many years.

Only then did Yin smiled relaxedly, leaned towards Mrs. Zhizhou slightly, and said softly: "Sister, my sister will tell you the truth. In fact, I don't know the origin of that guest. I only know that he is young and has a capital accent. Moreover," she intentionally paused, as if revealing an important secret, "when he came back at night, he didn't come in through the main entrance, but..." She made a gesture and pouted in a meaningful way.

Mrs. Zhizhou immediately understood what she meant, and said in a soft voice in surprise: "But it came in directly from the outside over the wall?"

Yin Shi nodded again and again, and stretched out a thumb to express his appreciation.

Mrs. Zhizhou gasped.Apparently, the person Yin mentioned was very skilled in martial arts, and he came and went like the wind, but he didn't know what his origin was?Ordinarily, Fu Tongpan was always cautious, he would not leave a person of unknown origin in his home... But if this person acted aboveboard and came from Beijing, why didn't his master know about it?

Mrs. Zhizhou felt a little uncomfortable when she thought of this.

Yin Shi seemed to be aware of her slip of the tongue, smiled awkwardly, and hurriedly explained: "Sister, don't get me wrong! This guest is definitely not a gentleman on the beam, a bandit or a thief! Although he is not from my family Relatives, but they are Gouzi's classmates, and they are very good people, but because they are entangled in official duties, they go out early every day and return late."

"Oh, so it's Mr. Ling's classmate..." Mrs. Zhizhou smiled knowingly.But soon she asked again: "Then why didn't he stay in the capital well, but ran to our Suzhou border?"

The expression on Yin's face became more and more unnatural, and he hesitated: "Well... I don't know! Probably, maybe I came to travel?" Yin seemed very satisfied with the explanation that came to mind suddenly, and his face brightened Get up, "Which young people don't like to travel, right?"

Mrs. Zhizhou smiled silently, seeing Yin's dodging eyes, the meaning of her eyes gradually deepened.Traveling, who are you kidding?If traveling is really that simple, why is there no need to travel alone, leave early and return late?If her guess is correct, this guest of Fu's residence is likely to be a secret agent sent by Beijing!I hope he came here for another purpose, not to be with Fu Heng, to empty out his master!
However, after thinking about it, she was relieved again, Fu Heng was going to be transferred to the Ministry of War, so how could she fix her eyes on this small city of Suzhou?
Mrs. Zhizhou thought a lot, but finally her pride overcame her worries.Hey, she's a lady, it's pretty good if she can find out that Fu's guests are suspicious!As long as you mention it to the master at night, the master will find a way to investigate carefully.Or she will find an excuse later and send someone to the Fu's house to inquire about it, and she will know something... This is because Yin's personality is not shrewd enough, which made her see the clue!But now if you continue to ask blindly, Yin will not say anything.

Mrs. Zhizhou's mood improved, and she smiled very generously: "Sister is right, they young people like to move around, but our two old bones should also be loosened, so as not to accumulate If you catch a cold, it won't be beautiful." Saying this, she stood up first.

"Sister is right." Shi Yin also stood up, with a happy expression on her face.According to Master Mei's instructions, she only needs to act mysteriously and reveal to Madam Zhizhou that if there are masters from Dasheng Capital in Suzhou, the task will be considered completed.As long as Mrs. Zhizhou's interest is successfully aroused, the couple will analyze and spy on them, and the secret agents of Bei Rong who are lurking in Zhizhou's mansion will also try to find out, and they will also think that they have worked hard to obtain such information. , rather than the enemy deliberately leaking to them to know!

Only the information obtained in this way will those cunning nobles of Beirong believe in it!
Yin and Mrs. Zhizhou walked side by side to the Meilin in the back garden.She secretly breathed a sigh of relief, but fortunately, the task on her side is relatively simple, and Mrs. Zhizhou is self-righteous, thinking that she is a person who has no plans, and she has never seen her flaws!But on the daughter's side, I don't know how it's going.

There are fifteen or sixteen plum trees in the corner of the back garden.The branches are strong and fragrant, there are bright red plums and bright yellow wintersweet, looming in the thick ice and snow on the branches.

Yin Shi only watched from a distance, already fascinated by it.Yin smiled to Mrs. Zhizhou: "Sister, when I was in Jincheng, I used to visit plums in the snow every year, but it was only half a foot thick of moderate snow. I have never seen such thick snow. The bed was covered with a thick white quilt, so that the plum blossoms all over the tree were almost invisible.

"The snow in Suzhou is bigger and thicker than the snow in the south..." Mrs. Zhizhou smiled approvingly, before she could say anything else, her eyes looked at the low wall next to the plum forest, but she was obviously taken aback. Jump, his face became tense immediately.But she could only hold back her words, fearing that if she shouted loudly, it would frighten the child she saw in her eyes.

Following Mrs. Zhizhou's gaze, Yin also saw the scene that made her fearful!It turned out that her daughter Junya stepped on a snowman by the wall, climbed on the top of the low wall with one hand, and folded a plum blossom on the top of the plum tree with the other hand!
Because she is not yet tall enough, and her arms are not long enough, Fu Junya reached for it several times, but she still couldn't reach the plum blossom she was looking for.But her body is already tilted very badly, as long as she leans out a little more, or accidentally slips under her feet, she will fall off the two-foot-high snowman!
