Chapter 419
Hong Wanqing stood up with a snort, and hurriedly looked in the mirror to check her headdress: "Where has he gone, is he coming in?"
The maid paused, bowed her head and said, "Master Hou has gone to the old lady's courtyard to be safe."
Hong Wanqing hurried to Chen's house, and met sisters-in-law who also came to greet her on the way. Hong Wanqing's face was a little overwhelmed. The two groups of people entered the door together and heard the inside say: "...you are going to Gansu? You just came back, why are you leaving again?"
"This is what the emperor meant, and I will leave after the new year."
When Chen shi heard this, he became more anxious: "Why do you have to hurry, anyway, the first month of the month is at home."
Fu Tingzhou just said lightly: "The military order must not be violated."
Chen Shi sighed, the emperor said so, what can she do? At this time, Mrs. Chen saw Hong Wanqing and her daughters coming, and waved: "You all heard that, Lord Hou will go on an expedition soon. Let's talk to Lord Hou if you have anything to say now."
Hong Wanqing was struck by lightning when she heard that he was going to set off again after the new year. She followed the crowd and sat next to the Chen family, smiling reluctantly on her face, but she was thinking in her heart that she had been here for almost three years, and she still has no children. Fu Tingzhou is going to leave Beijing again. I don't know when she will be back. Should she go with him?
However, Gansu is desolate and remote, and the wind and sand are strong. Hong Wanqing felt very unhappy at the thought of going to live in that kind of place. She had something in her heart, and she didn't want to interrupt when she listened to Chen's and others, but these people didn't know where they came from, so they dragged Fu Tingzhou and kept talking. It took her more than an hour to wait and she was very upset.
By the time I could finally get out, it was getting late. Fu Tingzhou went home after a year and a half, and he would definitely go back to the main room to sit. Hong Wanqing walked with him excitedly all the way, and when she returned to her room, she hurriedly called her maid to serve tea and cakes to Fu Tingzhou, and sent everyone around.
In fact, Fu Tingzhou really wanted to tell her that there was no need for trouble, he just sat down and left. But seeing her so excited, he was not easy to speak. Fu Tingzhou could only drink the tea with his head down, so he didn't have to talk. Hong Wanqing sat opposite him, thinking he liked the tea, Fu Tingzhou immediately filled it up for him as soon as he put down the cup: "Master Hou, this is the Lu'an tea from chūn this year. , specially picked from Qiyun Mountain."
Fu Tingzhou snorted, and then slowly rotated the teacup, but he didn't say anything else. Hong Wanqing waited for a long time, trying to find a topic: "Why did the Marquis go to the Marquis of Wuding as soon as he left the palace yesterday, and he didn't say he went home and changed his clothes. It's been a long time since I went to visit my uncle. Is his health okay?"
"Marquis Wuding is all right."
"Master Hou is going to Gansu? It's so far away, how long will it take?"
"Listen to the arrangement of the court."
There is no suspense at all whether a man wants to talk to you or not. If he wants to strike up a conversation, even with an iceberg beauty, he can always find a topic. If he doesn't want to pay attention, even if it's all talk, he can ignore it.
Hong Wanqing moved her mouth and couldn't answer any more. She originally wanted to use the topic of Gansu to slowly elicit whether she was accompanying her, but Fu Tingzhou didn't answer, what could she do?
Hong Wanqing said: "In any case, this month, Lord Hou stays at home and can always rest well. Lord Hou, the fourth sister of the first month is going to get married, and I don't know if you can catch up. This is what I prepared for the fourth sister. Add makeup, let's see how it goes."
Hong Wanqing asked people to take out a set of pure gold heads and faces from the makeup. Fu Tingzhou just glanced at it and nodded, and said, "You are their elder sister-in-law, you can arrange it."
Speaking of jewelry, Hong Wanqing found a familiar topic and chatted endlessly: "It's almost the end of the year, there are many banquets in the capital, and the palace has to hold a venue. A new jewelry store opened this year, and their family's tired silk and gold threads are pinched. It is even and thin, and the flowers and birds are beautiful. It is the only one in Beijing. Every time you come, you have to grab a new one to buy it. The fourth sister is young and a bride. I bought her a set of Butterfly Wearing Flowers. I left a set of phoenix and pearls. Unfortunately, the most beautiful set of gold inlaid jade was ordered by the Lu family..."
Fu Tingzhou listened indifferently until Hong Wanqing said that the Lu house also ordered a set of jewelry, and Fu Tingzhou finally raised his head and carefully looked at the craftsmanship of the jewelry.
The jewelry is indeed very elegant. The thin gold threads are woven into butterflies and petals. The layers are distinct and vivid. Even pure gold will not look tacky, and it is very overwhelming to watch the scene. Fu Tingzhou imagined what this gold jewelry would look like inlaid with jade. If you think about it, it should be very refined and expensive.
It would look good on her head.
Hong Wanqing was still complaining that she was the one who arrived first, and her deity was standing in front of her, but the servants of the Lu family took the lead and took the set of jewelry directly. Hong Wanqing's language was full of resentment, but Fu Tingzhou suddenly said, "Just give her a set of jewelry."
Hong Wanqing was originally complaining casually. After so long, she didn't care about it, but in retrospect it was still difficult to calm down. But Fu Tingzhou interrupted her impatiently and asked her to let Wang Yanqing bluntly.
As if Wang Yanqing used something better than Hong Wanqing, it was only natural.
Hong Wanqing was stunned. After regaining her senses, she could no longer control the grievances and anger that she had accumulated since yesterday. She lowered her face and said, "What do you mean, Lord Hou? I am your wife, Mrs. Zhenyuan Houfu, in your heart. Could it be better than an outsider?"
outsider. Hearing these words, Fu Tingzhou was extremely harsh, and his tone also turned cold: "You know that you are Mrs. Hou, but you still do such unreasonable things? What is the proper way to do it?"
