Vol 5 Chapter 2: Brother Yi is here
The Fu family's mansion is also busy today, because the eldest son's wife's elder brother will be in the capital today. The house slaves were busy and organized a courtyard for this prominent in-law to live in, because he was the eldest son of the Yi family, the richest man in the north: Yi Jixuan.
The relatives of the Yi family were proposed by Fu Mingsu and Fu Kun back then. He thought that the nobles in the capital had made good friends with King Kang. There was no room for the Fu family to develop in the capital, so it was better to make friends with the Yi family in the north. , Can do business to all over the world.
When discussing with Fu Kun, he had other thoughts in his heart. He could see that Fu Kun also wanted to become a relative of the emperor. If Fu Mingsu became the son-in-law of the Qian Dynasty, some things would be controlled by the royal family.
Therefore, he escaped early and went to the Yi family to propose marriage.
The Yi family sees that Fu Mingsu has a prominent background and a dignified appearance, not to mention other benefits, Yi Jixuan's younger sister, Yi Jilan, fell in love at first sight.
The Yi family has a big business, they are already the richest man, they dote on their children, they don't plan to have any marriage, they just follow their own children's wishes, as long as the children like it, they don't care about the family status.
Now, Yi Jilan caught Fu Mingsu with a glance, and Fu Mingsu was the eldest son of the left prime minister of the dynasty, so he personally agreed with him very readily. After choosing an auspicious day in that month, Fu Mingsu married Yi Jilan back to his family, and began to lay a solid foundation for the Yi family to enter Beijing and make good connections.
Fu Mingsu was sitting in the study room, holding in his hand the invitation card that the Qingdengren gave him a few days ago. The words on the invitation card were simple and clear:
Mr. Fu saw it in person: I have admired your name for a long time, and I will visit you soon, and look forward to it.
The inscription is Gongzihong.
"Young Master Hong..." Fu Mingsu read the greeting card, who is this Young Master Hong? Why had he never heard of this person in the capital?
But for that wonderful and miraculous experience, he had already guessed in his heart that this young master Hong might be a fellow traveler with that Lian Youyou, not a "person".
He will no longer send people to investigate in the Beichengxiang area. If the other party is not a "human", then ordinary people will investigate and there will be no results. If so, these spies under his command already knew about it. How could he not know that there is such a weird secret door in that alley.
The experience that day made him feel like he had gone to the Nine Gates again, weird, gloomy, and indescribably strange. Fu Mingsu, like his father, did not believe in these gods and ghosts. But during these days, he also began to offer incense to Bodhisattvas and worshiped them a lot.
Yi Jilan, who was busy in and out, was puzzled when he saw her husband sitting in the study for a long time. The children of the Yi family are all from the shopping malls, they are different from the ladies of the scholarly family, they are better at observing words and demeanor, and their actions are cleaner and neater than those delicate girls, such as the shrewd and capable Wang Xifeng.
Yi Jilan stepped into the study with her skirt up, with a oval face, apricot eyes, red lips and white teeth, all over the country, like a peony among flowers, graceful and graceful.
She walked to Fu Mingsu's side lightly, and when she saw the greeting card, her face showed confusion: "This is the first time I have encountered someone who wrote a greeting card like this, neither clearly stating the time nor the location, where is this young master Hong?" Who? They kept you waiting for so many days." Yi Jilan showed displeasure on his face. When they changed their family to start a business, the most important thing was a punctual and trustworthy person.
This son-in-law made her husband wait for many days, and he neither showed up nor sent a message, which made her very uncomfortable. Moreover, who is her husband-in-law? It's the eldest son of the left, who has always been the only one who waits for her husband. No one dares to make her wait for him.
"Cut, what a big air, what kind of **** is this? It's such a grand spectacle." Yi Jilan glanced at the post, and looked at Fu Mingsu angrily, "Sir, don't look, my elder brother should be here."
Fu Mingsu frowned slightly, and put away the greeting card.
He and his wife Yi Jilan have a good relationship and never hide some things from her. And Yi Jilan is also exceptionally considerate and able to understand current affairs, she shouldn't know, so she won't ask too much. Unlike those gossiping women who are incompetent but manageable.
Today is the day when Yi Jixuan arrived in the capital. After that, Yi Jixuan will settle in the capital, which is to open up the capital and the southern market, so today is also a big day for the Fu family.
Fu Mingsu and Yi Jilan came out of the study together, and Fu Kun was walking slowly. Seeing this, the young couple rushed to meet them, and the servants and maidservants on both sides knelt down on the spot to greet their lord Zuoxiang.
"Father!" Fu Mingsu and his wife saluted Fu Kunqiqi.
Fu Kun looked at Yi Jilan gently: "Master Yi came here today, you two have worked hard."
"Thank you, Father, for your concern. Thank you, Father, Brother Yun for staying in Xiangfu temporarily." Yi Jilan bowed and saluted. In front of Fu Kun, this daughter-in-law was well educated and reasonable.
Fu Kun nodded with a smile, and looked at Fu Mingsu: "Young Master Yi Family is here, please treat me well."
"Yes, father."
"Also, has the letter to your brother been mailed?" Fu Kun counted the days, worried that the third child would not come back in time.
Fu Mingsu secretly smiled in his heart. The main point of his father's visit at this time should be to let the third child come back. Fortunately, he had already figured out his father's thoughts, so he sent someone eight hundred miles to send the letter that asked the third brother to come back as soon as possible.
He smiled calmly: "The third younger brother will be able to come back the next day, there is still one day before the Mid-Autumn Festival, and there is still time to make him new clothes."
Hearing Fu Mingsu's firm answer, the cloud in Fu Kun's heart finally dissipated, and he laughed: "Okay, let the best tailor in the capital do it for Huier!"
"Yes!"
Fu Kunlang smiled and left.
Yi Jilan was also Minghui, and looked at Fu Mingsu with a smile: "It seems that my lord father wants to take advantage of this Mid-Autumn Festival banquet to push the third brother out. Does this mean that he knows the second brother's temper? Maybe the second brother just likes the seventh princess?"
Fu Mingsu lowered his eyes and smiled faintly: "Second brother won't like it..." After Fu Mingsu finished speaking, a free and elegant figure of Lian Youyou appeared in his mind, and he was slightly absent-minded.
Fu Mingsu's expression caught Yi Jilan's eyes exactly, what kind of intelligent person is she? He could see Fu Mingsu's thoughts at a glance, and couldn't help joking: "Hey, what kind of girl is this, who seduced my husband-in-law's heart? Should I find a matchmaker? The husband-in-law should also take a concubine."
Fu Mingsu regained his senses slightly, this is the reason why he loves Yi Jilan, he understands the general situation, considers the overall situation, has a compassionate heart, and is considerate.
He smiled and looked at Yi Jilan: "I only have my wife in my heart, and I won't take concubines anymore. The girl I just thought of was the second brother's favorite. I was thinking, the second brother is not good at pleasing girls, am I right?" Give him a hand."
Yi Jilan's bright eyes were half-downcast, and she believed Fu Mingsu's words and smiled: "What Xianggong said is, how does Xianggong want to help the second brother?"
Fu Mingsu turned his face to the side and thought for a moment: "Go and pick out a piece of jewelry for my second brother. The Mid-Autumn Festival is full of flowers and full moons. Let my second brother send it to you." Fu Mingsu smiled faintly, raised his face and strode forward.
Yi Jilan watched Fu Mingsu's back for a while, then smiled knowingly.
