Chapter 94
When Chen shi heard this, he was both angry that the servants deceived her, and that Fu Tingzhou did not give her face. Of course, she didn't dare to ask Lu Mansion, so she sent someone outside the city to find Fu Tingzhou. However, the Chen family sent several groups of people to go out and found nothing. The Chen family was so angry that they got angry, and the atmosphere in the wife's house became stiff. .
Finally, when it was time for dinner, Fu Tingzhou came back. The Miss Fu family was relieved when they heard the servant's report that "Master Hou is here", and hurried to the main room to cheer up.
Although Fu Chang is of high rank, Fu Tingzhou is the real master of Zhenyuan Hou Mansion. Fu Tingzhou's attitude is directly related to their days in Hou Mansion, dowry and future husband's family. For the Miss Fu family, pleasing their elder brother is more important than pleasing their father and mother.
Several prostitutes hurried to the wife's room. The room was already full of people. Fu Tingzhou sat in the center of the room and greeted grandmother and parents indifferently: "The child is not filial, which makes grandmother, father and mother worry. Now. After the New Year's Eve dinner, my mother will start the banquet directly without waiting for me."
"How can this be possible?" Chen Shi vehemently rejected, "Reunion dinner Reunion dinner is to be eaten only when the whole family gathers together. Agate, Lord Hou is back, you should go and set up the meal."
Even without the factor of reunion, the Hou residence would not have dinner before Fu Tingzhou came back. Fu Tingzhou is the Marquis of Zhenyuan. All of them have to rely on Fu Tingzhou. Who would dare to sit when the Lord is not present?
However, what Fu Tingzhou can't hear the most right now is "reunion". The Chen family was busy setting meals, Fu Chang was enjoying the flattery of the concubine with a flushed face, and several young ladies of the Fu family were also surrounded by Mrs. Tai, talking like a silver bell, and no one remembered that Wang Yanqing was still alive and dead.
Maybe, it's not necessarily that I don't remember, but I don't care.
Fu Tingzhou saw that these people were having a lively New Year's Eve, the more they laughed, the colder his heart became. It was as if a thorn had been stabbed deep in his heart, which was usually invisible, but every time he breathed, the thorn would dig deeper, and finally converged into a fine and long pain that pressed him to the point of suffocation.
However, Mrs. Chen wanted to sprinkle salt on his wound, and said with a high voice: "Master Hou, you are finally back. Just now, the Yongping Hou residence sent a New Year's gift box, come and see, I heard that these gift boxes are all Miss Hong San helped prepare it."
When the people in the room heard this, they looked at Fu Tingzhou and laughed together. Fu Tingzhou sat in the center of his sight, but he didn't feel the slightest joy. He didn't even smile, and said indifferently: "I see, put it aside. Tomorrow I will go to pay New Year's greetings to the Marquis of Wuding and Marquis Yongping, and I will tell you when the time comes."
The maids were all beaming with the gift box, and when they heard Fu Tingzhou's words, they were all stunned. However, Lord Hou really didn't mean to be curious at all, and didn't even glance at them. The maid was embarrassed, and quickly retreated with her things in her arms.
Chen Shi didn't take it seriously, and still happily talked about the marriage proposal: "After February, your grandfather's filial piety is over, and you can get married with Miss Hong San. Miss Hong San is of noble birth, virtuous and filial. , after the door, she must be a good mistress."
Fu Tingzhou sat in his seat and listened to Chen's self-talk happily, thinking that his grandfather didn't look down on this couple, and he really didn't wrong them. I don't have enough eyesight, can I say it publicly?
Fu Tingzhou interrupted coldly: "The grandfather's filial piety period has not passed, so he is not allowed to feast, marry, and marry. Mother is careful."
Chen shi touched soft nails one after another, and finally felt that Fu Tingzhou was in a wrong mood. She looked at Fu Tingzhou's face in surprise, and after thinking for a while, she suddenly realized that she understood the reason why Fu Tingzhou was not in high spirits: "Master Hou, are you thinking about the court? Blame me, you went to Lord Lu's mansion today, you must have discussed it. There are a lot of serious things, and I have been pulling you to say that the parents are short..."
When Fu Tingzhou heard that name, he was really in a bad mood, and said coldly, "It has nothing to do with him."
"It's not Mr. Lu?" Chen Shi was surprised, she patted her chest and deliberately showed off to the concubine and prostitute beside her, "That's good. This Mr. Lu is not easy to deal with, he was the one who was involved in the corruption case some time ago. Did you find out? Many people in the capital were raided, and in the end, even the first assistant was not clear. It's really scary."
The female relatives don't know much about the struggle in the court, but they all have lingering fears about the house raiding incident some time ago. Ladies and gentlemen, you have been complaining for a long time, but no one dared to mention the commander Lu. Even if this person is only two years older than Fu Tingzhou, and now he is a third-rank official, he has the power to enter and exit the imperial palace, and from the point of view of choosing a son-in-law, this is a better young talent than Fu Tingzhou, but there are no female relatives in the capital who want to marry him. .
Even if Chen Shi intends to show off, she only has a little knowledge of the court, and there will be nothing to say soon. In the end, the topic of female dependents still fell on eating, drinking and having fun.
In a few days, it will be Shangyuan Festival. The only chance for the female family members to go out and play in an open and honest way. The four young ladies of the Fu family are all waiting for this day. Chen received a hint from his daughter and asked Fu Tingzhou: "Master Hou, do you have any plans for Shangyuan in a few days?"
"Plans?" Fu Tingzhou listened inexplicably, "It's just an ordinary holiday, what plans can you have?"
The author says:
Lu Heng: You didn't plan, unfortunately I have a lot.
