The Way of Favors

After several days on the road, Fu Rong was really exhausted. It was rare that he hadn't practiced his legs, so he immediately went to bed and went to sleep after bathing.

The next day was awakened by Joe himself.

Fu Rong hadn't slept enough. He pulled away his mother's hand and rolled in the quilt. He muttered vaguely, "Mother, you guys, I'm not hungry. I won't eat breakfast." The picturesque eyebrows frowned dissatisfied. , Ruddy Little Mouth also pouted.

Qiao sighed, and he just helped him up: "Get up thick, I'm going to the main courtyard and please be happy. I've been using breakfast over there these days. When we reply, you can sleep as long as you want. ."

Fu Rong opened his eyes, looked at the strange room, and finally woke up completely.

This is in Beijing, not Xindu.

"I'll get up now, mother, go see my sister." Knowing that it is not easy for her mother to please her in front of the old lady, Fu Rong obediently said.

The daughter is more sensible than expected. Qiao squeezed her face happily: "So obedient, tomorrow my mother will take you to Fenglaiyi to buy jewelry. That is the No. 1 Jewelry Building in Beijing. No matter how good your Aunt Liu has, Feng Laiyi can't be compared." The Hou Mansion first celebrated the Dragon Boat Festival and then the wedding. The daughters should add two more good things to dress up, so as not to let other girls compare.

Fu Rong has been to Feng Laiyi. To be honest, the things made by Gu Niangzi are top-notch in Feng Laiyi. Ruyi Zhai loses because only Gu Niangzi is a top craftsman. It is not as good as Feng Laiyi's century-old brand that has attracted everywhere. The capable people are in charge, and there are endless boutiques.

Fu Rong likes to dress up, so she is naturally happy to go to Feng Laiyi, but she wants to watch the excitement and act like a baby to her mother: "My mother praises me that I am sensible, then you allow me to go to the dragon boat race with my brother, okay? I heard that there is a dragon boat race in Beijing every year. The dragon boat race is better than the one in Suzhou."

Qiao thought for a while, "Let's take a look, if Fu Bao and the others go, my mother will allow you to go."

"My mother is really nice!" Fu Rong was very satisfied with this sentence, and got out of bed to wash.

They were not early or late, and almost entered Wufutang at the same time as Lin's mother and daughter, and laughter and laughter came out through the curtain, but it was Shen Qing who had come to serve the old lady a long time ago.

"Why did you get up so early? Didn't you let you sleep a little longer?" The old lady was spoiled by the neatness.

The Qiao family sat beside her affectionately, rubbing her shoulders for the old lady and said: "We are away all year round, and we usually don’t want to honor my aunt. Now that we are here, we must seize the opportunity to get in front of you, lest you forget our mother. several."

Fu Bao curled his lips quietly.

Fu Rong hadn't seen it.

While talking, the third wife and Fu Mi also came, and everyone moved to the main room for breakfast.

After the meal, Lin went to the main courtyard, and her eldest son was getting married soon, so she was very busy. As a concubine, the third wife widows is not good to get involved in the happy event. Qiao originally wanted to help, but after thinking about it, he said to the old lady: "Auntie, Shaoqu is planning to buy a house in Beijing. It’s the first time he comes to Beijing. I haven't been back for many years. I don't know the market of the house here. Does my aunt have any introductions? My sister-in-law is busy, so Su Niang dare not disturb her with such trivial matters, so I can only ask you."

The Liang Family Martial Arts Hall is also quite famous in the capital. The old lady nodded and ordered Mother Song to accompany her: "You are familiar with this matter, go to inquire about this, and bring a safe introduction to the second lady." I don't like Qiao anymore. She didn't even bother to refuse the matter of moving her lips.

Mother Song smiled at the Qiao family: "I will take someone over to see the second lady this afternoon."

Joe smiled and thanked.

After dealing with the Qiao family, the old lady ordered the maid to bring out five sewing baskets, which contained five-color threads and beads the size of soybeans. They all had agate, jade, and jade, and said to the five girls headed by Fu Rong: " It's the Dragon Boat Festival. Let's make colorful silk together and wear them on your wrists for celebration. Remember that everyone will give me a bunch. The best weave will be rewarded."

The five women thanked each other.

Shen Qing took the initiative to invite several sisters: "My grandmother is talking to my second aunt, let's go to my side to make up."

Fu Bao didn't like her, but he didn't dare to shame Shen Qing in front of the old lady. If he didn't speak, he would be regarded as answering.

Fu Rong went to Beijing late in his previous life. He never met Shen Qing. He only knew that Shen Qing was married to Fu Bao’s childhood cousin, the Lin family. Fu Rong was quite curious about Fu Bao's relationship, and he was happy to get close to the excitement.

Seeing that she and Fu Xuan had both agreed, Fu Mi nodded somewhat awkwardly.

The five little girls moved to Shen Qing's Yuxuexuan.

Fu Rong sat down with Fu Xuan. They also made colorful threads at home. Before entering Beijing, they tied them for the official brother in advance. The Qiao Fu Wan made it on the Guan's wrist. Fu Rong Fu Xuan made the line. On the ankle. The colorful thread is also called the long-lived thread, blessing the little guy's health and longevity.

"Third sister, why did the second aunt call you thick?" Everyone was quiet, and Shen Qing, as the host, deliberately enlivened the atmosphere.

Fu Rong looked up at her.

Shen Qing is twelve, and the elder Fu Bao Fu Mi is one year old, with willow eyebrows and apricot eyes, snowy skin and jade skin, and she looks like an old lady.

"Because I was confused when I was a child, I always said Rong was thick, so I got such a nickname." Fu Rong explained softly, picking a red agate bead and strung it on the colorful line.

"It's so nice." Shen Qing said sincerely, and asked if the hairpin on her head was bought from Feng Laiyi. When the daughter’s family got together, the most often mentioned was the jewellery clothes. Among the five girls, except for Fu Rong, the other four were still young. Before the time to dress up, Shen Qing could only continue to work on Fu Rong.

Fu Rong touched the hairpin on his head, and said in a complacent way: "No, I have a home in Ruyi Zhai. I bought these from there. Is the Feng Laiyi that my sister said is good? Then I have to go and see it another day. Look."

Fu Bao couldn't help choking her: "Of course Feng Laiyi is good. Isn't it comparable to a small shop with a small name."

Fu Rong didn't seem to hear it, and took the only black pearl in his sewing basket to his sister: "You like black, this one is for you." Black pearls are rare, and the old lady is willing to take out a few to weave them. Playing with colorful lines is also generous.

Fu Xuan accepted it generously: "It just happens to be matched in five colors and given to grandma."

The little girl looked dull, but she was clear in her heart. It was natural to flatter people. Fu Rong leaned in his sister's ear and smiled and praised.

Her voice was small, only Fu Xuan heard it, and the opposite, Fu Bao, saw the sewing basket in front of the five people, and then imagined Fu Rong's act of sending black pearls. He always felt that Fu Rong was jokes that the Hou Mansion had no good things. I was about to skewer the colorful silk in my hand, and ordered the close maid: "Go to my room and bring my box of five-color jade beads!"

The little maid panicked, "Girl, that's the big girl..."

"If you ask you to go, go!" Fu Bao scolded, staring. His Royal Highness likes her sister. There is no good thing from her sister. From time to time, she will give her a few items, just a box of jade beads. Why can't you give it away? Just let Fu Rong take a look at the wealth of the capital of the Marquis.

The little maid went helplessly.

Fu Bao glanced at Fu Rong triumphantly, like a proud little cock.

Fu Rong deliberately coaxed her: "Red, white and blue jade is easy to get, and black jade and topaz have never been seen, especially those with pure colors."

Fu Bao became more proud and waited for the maid to put the carved wooden box on the table and asked them to take it generously.

Shen Qing looked inside the box, it seemed that he could only string four strings, and smiled: "I don't want it. I like to string red agate."

Fu Mi had envy and desire in his eyes, but he refused with similar reasons.

Fu Xuan raised the multicolored thread that had already been strung in his hand and smiled faintly: "Thank you Sister Si for your kindness, but I have already matched it."

Only Fu Rong unceremoniously picked out five jade beads, "They don't want me to want them, this bead is really beautiful."

Fu Bao didn't want to give it to her the last time, so he was so angry that he scratched his thigh with his little hand. Fortunately, there was a table blocking it, and no one could see it.

How could Fu Rong really be greedy of her stuff, stringed a string, stretched out his hand and handed it to Fu Bao, sincerely saying: "I wish my fourth sister all the best in the future, a long life, and a lifetime of worry-free." In fact, it is so smooth with Shen Qing and Qi Zhu She is so sophisticated and easy to get along with her temperament. She prefers Liang Yingfang and Fu Bao. It is simple and easy to get along with.

Fu Bao didn't expect that Fu Rong would give it to her, but he froze before picking it up.

Fu Rong didn't take the jade beads from the box anymore, bowed her head and started to make up seriously, and occasionally turned her head to say a few words to Fu Xuan, her appearance was like a flower, her voice was like a yellow oriole, and she was beautiful like a painting, especially when she whispered to Fu Xuan. When the editor was more beautiful, the gentle tone reminded Fu Bao of his big sister who got married last year.

Looking at the multicolored silk with five-color beads in his hand, Fu Bao suddenly found that Fu Rong didn't seem to be that annoying.

When leaving Wufutang, Fu Bao deliberately waited for Fu Mi to leave before inviting Sister Fu Rong: "The dragon boat race on the riverside on the fifth day of the fifth day of the first lunar month. We have arranged a cruise for the Hou Mansion. Will the third and sixth sisters go together? "

Fu Rong looked at his sister and smiled heartily: "Okay, I have long been longing for the dragon boat race in Beijing. The fourth sister is really good. By the way, do you have a lottery lottery here? We have lived in Suzhou for three years. A few good sisters in the dragon boat race will gather together to guess and play..."

Speaking of playing, she was full of wit, which happened to be right to Fu Bao's temperament, and excitedly took Fu Rong's hand and started chattering.

Once the relationship was good, Fu Bao went to the East Yard to play in the afternoon. After seeing his daughter, Qiao had become with his cousin so quickly. After dinner, he discussed with Fu Rong: "Look at you and Fu Bao playing so well. Don’t you just live in the capital and wait until your sister gets married before going back?"

Fu Rong said without hesitation: "No, I will go back with my mother and stay with my sister for a few more months."

His daughter loves home, and Qiao is very pleased. He took the comb from Lanxiang and personally passed the hair for his daughter, and coaxed her to lie down before leaving.

Watching her mother go out, and watching Lan Xiang walk out with the lamp, Fu Rong turned around and looked at the bedside in thought.

Will you see An Wang this time in Beijing?

She is looking forward to seeing King An, hoping that King An will like her, so that with King An's means, there must be a way to marry her. Fu Rong used to think that An Wang was as extraordinary as it seemed, and he didn't care about world affairs, but the successive changes in the capital after Xu Jin's death made everyone tacitly aware that An Wang was the one with the most strategizing. As for Xu Jin, the two only agreed in private, and she cried and told her that she had no choice but to coax him to give up, right?

But all this is so difficult to grasp. The most difficult thing is that she doesn't know if she can meet Wang An.

Why did she call her a woman, she couldn't get out easily, and she couldn't take the initiative to find him in the Prince An's Mansion, so she could only gamble. If she and Wang An are destined to have no relationship, marrying Xu Jin will not be so uncomfortable. Xu Jin is spoiling her now, and she can remind him vaguely after getting married...

But that would be too tiring. For those official affairs, those conspiracy schemes, if not necessary, Fu Rong really didn't want to get involved.

So it is the easiest to marry An Wang.

Thinking of Wang An’s gaze on her face when he first met An Wang in his previous life, Fu Rong faintly felt that as long as he could meet, Wang An would like her, infatuated like Xu Yan, domineering like Xu Jin, and fancy at first sight. Isn't it all her face?

While thinking about it, Fu Rong was so surprised that there was a clapper sound from outside. He interrupted those thoughts and turned to sleep.

Half asleep and half awake, I heard someone calling her.

Thick, unbelievably gentle.

Fu Rong opened his eyes and met Xu Jin's smiling phoenix eyes.

The author has something to say: heh heh, this time I plan to let the gentleman Su Wang have a little romance, hehe, guess what gift he brought to Nongnong?
