Chapter 1: Return

The summer is hot and the heat is steaming. Even if the sun sets in the west, half of the face with shy faces has sank into the sky, and it still cannot reduce the warm and fiery temperature in the air.

Fang, who had been tired for a day, sat in front of the dressing table, and the close maid was serving to remove makeup and wash.

"Madam, just now Mrs. Chen said that Ting Zhiyuan has been cleaned up and is ready for people to move in at any time." The eldest maid Chen Xiang served her wife with her heavy headdress, and replied with her ears.

Fang pulled off the silver hairpin on his head and placed it on a corner of the dressing table. He was stunned when he heard this. There were too many things happening this day and he couldn't remember where it was. After a while, he came to his senses. He remembered the childhood sweetheart who suddenly appeared in the capital and was accidentally met by his husband. He said that his family was suffering from a disaster and lost his husband. He led his only daughter to Beijing to look for relatives, but he didn't look for relatives. He was desperate to meet childhood sweethearts when he was young. She was not interested. In short, the result was that the old love rekindled, and the master wanted to take someone as a child, and moved in with the oil bottle.

"Since that's the case, I'll bring people in tomorrow. Living outside, I'll have a bad reputation." Fang frowned tiredly, his long hair was drifting off, and he got up to sleep. He thought of something, went to bed and covered his quilt, and told Chen Xiang, "Come in, please ask Mrs. Chen to call a few maids and mothers over to call him, and then press Yang's example."

Yang was another concubine in the family, and he also favored him. He served the master for many years and had a son and a daughter. Of course, he was the first among the concubines.

"ah?"

"What's wrong, there's a problem?"

"I think that although the master asked Aunt Zheng to treat Aunt Zheng well, after all, Aunt Zheng treated Aunt Yang just as soon as he entered the school. This matter spread. If Aunt Yang was unhappy and started making trouble, then the pillow wind would blow, and the lady would complain again." Chenxiang said worriedly. Her wife was soft-hearted and kind-hearted. She could see many things clearly, but she couldn't handle things. She often suffered losses in this regard.

Fang also knew these, but "But this is what the master means. Anyway, Yang's monthly rate will be increased next month, so it shouldn't be in the way?" She said a little guilty and uncertain.

Speaking of this, Chenxiang sighed in his heart. The new Aunt Zheng and the Master have had a friendship since childhood. Naturally, the Master couldn't bear to bear her grievances. As soon as he entered the door, he would give people the same treatment as Aunt Yang, who had been favored for many years. In order to appease Aunt Yang, the Master proposed the monthly routine of being promoted to Aunt Yang, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, but the wife was soft-minded. The Master rushed to accept everything. If this continues, Aunt Yang's treatment will be as good as the wife.

After thinking about it, she took a deep breath, took out her trump card and said, "Madam, according to the day, the old lady and the girl go to Tiantai Mountain to burn incense, and it should be back tomorrow. If you make such a arrangement, if the girl comes back, according to her personality, I am afraid she will be...?"

Fang also knew that if her daughter came back, she would probably rush to the study and grabbed her father and talk about it for 300 times. She would not give up and light candles all night without any satisfaction. She would also have to be scolded. She had no good expression on her face for several days. When she thought of these scenes, Fang was inexplicably shocked and rubbed her thoughts and stuffed them back.

"Then??? Then let the person you serve first, and then talk about the rest."

After saying that, Fang shrank like a quail and hid under the bedding and went to sleep.

No words all night!

On the morning of the next day, the sun was high, and at the gate of the Fu Mansion, the servants, maids and mothers in front and behind surrounded a carriage with a four-cornered unicorn, slowly drove to stop. A young man leading the horse, pulled the reins, and the horse under his crotch neighed and kicked twice, then stood there.

The boy turned over and got off the horse and walked to the carriage, "Grandmother, sister, you're home, come down."

Halfway through the speech, the door curtain opened, and an old man with half-white hair and a young girl came out from it. The former was simple and smiling, with a very kind look. The wrinkles on the corners of his eyes and mouth looked old with a deep smile, while the girl holding the old man was young and full of youth, with a beautiful appearance, and her fair and smooth skin was not threatened by the sun at all, but added a little vitality.

As soon as he got off the car, a maid stepped forward and took an umbrella to protect the sun. The girl squinted her eyes and looked at the sky. The passion of the sunshine at this time was really unbearable.

"Second brother, please go back to the front yard first. I'll just send my grandmother back to Minghui Hall." Fu Qingyue smiled and said.

The young man Fu Yiwen nodded, and left after sending his grandmother and sister into the mansion, and returned to the front yard.

Fu Qingyue sent her grandmother back to Minghuitang again, talking and walking along the way, mainly because she said that her grandmother Lin looked tired and the old man couldn't stand the fatigue of the boat and the fatigue of the boat. At this time, the fatigue between his eyebrows and eyes had appeared. What he was interested in was just a few words that were so depressed that he said something casually.

Minghui Hall arrived soon after, she helped her grandmother into the house, and then asked her to take her maid out and return to her yard - Rongxia Pavilion.

On the way, I passed by the backyard garden. There was a lake like a full moon. The lotus flowers in half of the lake were blooming very well, red and white, and there were a few white cranes playing in it, which looked very pleasing to the eye.

A small bridge is built by the lake towards the center of the lake. At the end is a small pavilion, named "Lake Heart Pavilion". The lake water is filled with blue waves and lotus flowers, which is the most suitable for enjoying the scenery in the past.

But today, there were bursts of laughter and playful sounds from the pavilion. It sounded a lot of people, not only the sisters in the family, but it was not their own business.

Just as I was thinking that the matter was not related to my own offense, I pretended not to see it and left quickly, but someone in the pavilion seemed to see him sharp-eyed and shouted, "Miss Fu Wu?"

Then two familiar voices came.

"Five sister."

"Fifth sister."

It’s the eldest sister Fu Qingxuan and the fourth sister Fu Qingrong!

Before Fu Qingyue's steps forward could land, she heard the sound and silently shrank back, forced herself to turn back and go up the bridge, and walked towards the pavilion in the middle of the lake.

If you don’t notice it, it doesn’t matter whether you say hello or not. Since you have discovered it, you can’t say hello. If you pass it outside, you probably have the impression of being stingy and mediocre, and you will have to describe it as arrogant and lowly.

After going to the Huxin Pavilion, I found that there were indeed many people in the pavilion. Some of them could not recognize their identities, but most of them were daughters from various families with their elder sister and fourth sister. There were two groups of people on the left and right, and they were clearly distinguished. I wonder if they were still making an appointment to fight here because of the appointment. Fu Qingyue couldn't stop complaining when she saw this.

"Big sister, fourth sister, hello all sisters." Fu Qingyue took the lead in greeting.

More than ten people's eyes fell on themselves, some of whom were disdainful, some were curious, and some were contemptuous. She looked indifferent, neither humble nor arrogant, and looked back one by one, and the wind was calm.

"Fourth sister, let me introduce you to me. This is the Qin Ruyi Qin from the Grand Tutor's Mansion, this is the Cao Xinmeng Cao from the Duke Qing Guo Mansion, and this one???"

The eldest sister Fu Qingxuan introduced several strange faces to her according to her identity. The two leading men were dressed gorgeously, a girl from the Grand Tutor's Mansion looked arrogant, and a Duke Qing's Mansion had a calm expression and was not caring about it. She was outstanding in her temperament, which made people tell her at a glance. In addition, there were several ladies and illegitimate ladies from the Duke's Mansion and several girls from the imperial court ministers, who were all invincible.

Fu Qingyue naturally knew about these people who had worked hard for the eldest sister and the fourth sister, but they had nothing to do with her. She smiled and joked for a few words, and then used the excuse to go to her mother's place to pay her respects.

"Qingxuan, is this your stepmother's daughter?" Qin Ruyi asked with a little playful question when Fu Qingyue's figure was far away.

Fu Qingxuan was sending a card to prepare for the next game of fun. She paused her movements, looked up at Qin Ruyi, nodded, "Yes."

"I heard that she is now helping your stepmother in your mansion to be the housekeeper. She is very stingy and stingy and has many rules. She even sold a few disobedient maids a while ago. Isn't that true?"

Fu Qingxuan lowered her hair and sent the card without denying it, but she agreed. Some people secretly looked at Fu Qingrong on the other side and saw that she was very excited to talk about poetry and books with her boyfriend Cao Xinling, the second daughter of Duke Qingguo's mansion, and seemed to have no time to take care of the topics here.

"If you don't have enough ability, you can't help but solve the problem by selling."

"What, isn't it hard to say? Actually, it's nothing. He's just a step-sister. He's still low and small in front of his original wife. He's no different from being a villain. It's also a shame that you and the Marquis of Cheng'en are so kind that you can tolerate your noble eldest daughter, and let the second daughter of the second wife be the leader of the second wife." Qin Ruyi relied on her identity as the Grand Tutor's Mansion, half ridiculed and half joking. When talking about the family affairs of the Fu family, the others looked at each other and didn't respond. After all, it's always not good to discuss right and wrong in person in broad daylight.

Even Fu Qingxuan just smiled slightly bitterly, "This is my grandmother's arrangement, and Qingxuan can't go against it. I think my grandmother's move must have its own deep meaning."

"What is the deep meaning? But I just value her and not you. In other words, small families are all those with shallow eyes."

Qin Ruyi then ridiculed a few more words. Fortunately, Cao Xinmeng really didn't want to listen to these things, so she spoke out and pulled the topic away, which made people feel relieved.

Fu Qingyue, who had walked far enough, didn't know that she was almost despised in such a state as a mountain countryside. When she went back to the yard, she changed her clothes and dressed up, and then greeted her mother's Su Lanxuan.

"Look at this place, why don't you need so much money? Twelve twenty taels to come here, otherwise there will be another confusing account at the end of the month. As the heat of today, the maids from each yard each add a bowl of mung bean soup. This kind of account that changes with the season must be placed separately so that it will be easier to sort out in the future. It will be listed with the ice cube accounts??"

Fang's gentle voice came from the room, and the account was settled. Fu Qingyue walked in lightly, but she didn't notice it.

"There is also the place where Aunt Yang is. I thought about it. According to the Master's wishes, I would raise some monthly money with her. Otherwise, Aunt Zheng would have to make trouble again when she enters the mansion, which will make the house uneasy and the master is also upset. But don't tell Yue'er about this for the time being. Just turn around and say it to the accountant quietly~" Fang was muttering, but he didn't notice the face of Chenxiang beside him that was increasingly unbearable to look at him.
