She dressed as a concubine and was targeted by the powerful brother.

Chapter 43 Family Dinner
Night falls.

Just as Fu Jiao was about to turn on the lamp, there was a knock on the door from outside.

Gently and regularly.

She knew without a word who was coming.

Only Fu Rudi could be so restrained and polite when knocking on the door.

"Brother, do you want to go to dinner?"

Fu Jiao opened the door and smiled brightly.

After she came back, she washed herself well, and her hair was neatly tied into a double ring, with a beaded butterfly hairpin popular among women in the capital.The eyebrows are like autumn water, paired with a new autumn-scented green crepe skirt, which is charming and charming.

Fu Rudi was dazzled and his eyes lit up.

After being out for so long, I didn't notice that Fu Jiao had grown taller, almost reaching his chin.

He hesitated: "How did you know you were going to eat?"

Could it be that Si Bei told her about the banquet held at the Fu family tonight?

Fu Jiao pointed to the sky, "It's already dark. If you don't eat or sleep, you'll be hungry! Should we eat at the government office or go out?"

Only then did Fu Rudi realize that he had misunderstood.

He lowered his head and laughed, and said bluntly: "My father was here just now. When he learned that we were returning to the capital, he held a banquet at home and asked us to go back and get together."

"Oh." Fu Jiao also wanted to meet them, "Okay, shall we go there now?"

She answered so naturally that Fu Rudi was confused.Fu Rudi asked: "Don't you dislike home?"

"I don't like it."

Fu Jiao smiled softly and stared at him with bright eyes, "But my brother and his family have no discord, how can he be alienated because of me?"

The Fu family couldn't compete with her.

After the merits are completed, you will never have to see him again.

But Fu Rudi is different.He is the eldest son of the Fu family. It was only because of the smoke coming out of the ancestral grave that he emerged as a promising person. The entire Fu family relied on him.No matter how bad the Fu family is, he will protect them under his wings.

It just so happened that she also wanted to go back to Fu's house for a visit.

Zhao Yuyi described the Fu family as a dragon's pond and a tiger's den, and she didn't mind having a try.

How could Fu Rudi not be moved by these words.

He stretched out his hand to rub the top of Fu Jiao's hair, but took it back when he saw the beautiful hairpins and neat buns on his head.

Fu Rudi didn't know what was wrong.

He had no habit of touching other people, but every time Fu Jiao said something considerate, he wanted to rub her lovely head.

"I'll be back after a quick meal." Fu Rudi reassured her, "I won't leave you there alone."

"Thank you brother."

After hearing this, Fu Jiao no longer had any worries.

Do the Fu family still dare to poison her at the banquet?joke.

The brother and sister made an agreement to get on the carriage and go to Fu's house together.

On the carriage, Fu Jiao opened the curtain and lay by the small window, looking at the shops on both sides of the street.There were sellers of rotten pig heads, silk flowers, and dough cakes, and it was noisy and bustling.At sunset, it was still busy and bustling.

This is the emperor's feet.

Speaking of which, she didn't even take a proper tour of the capital.

"looking at what?"

"There is a tea soup seller there. I wonder if it tastes good." Fu Jiao turned her head and pointed far away.

Fu Rudi looked in the direction of her finger and saw no one selling tea soup. Instead, he saw a few ascetics begging for alms at the stall.

He thought of something and couldn't help but say: "With your skills in Taoism, law and metaphysics, which master did you learn from?"

"The master who taught me didn't reveal his name." Fu Jiao no longer had to make a draft of her lie. She could make it up however she wanted. "I only know a little bit about it, and I'm not as good as that master."

Her master passed away many years ago.

Even though she excels in her own world, she will always respect and miss her Master.

"Brother, I know these mysterious and mysterious things, will you dislike me?"

Fu Jiao blinked, expecting Fu Rudi's answer.

Fu Rudi: "It's always a good thing to have skills at hand."

"Yes."

Fu Jiao was laughing and joking, but didn't take it seriously, "If I can't get married in the future, I can still read Feng Shui and tell fortunes for others, and I won't be able to starve myself."

Fu Rudi smiled slightly and did not refute.

These days he figured it out.Although it was too unruly for a girl to learn these things at home, Fu Jiao had the foundation to settle down and make a living, so he didn't have to worry about her future.

And Zhao Hao, I thought they had something to do with each other, but after learning the truth, Zhao Hao was afraid of the water ghost, so he followed Fu Jiao, which made sense.Looking at Zhao Hao now, Fu Rudi feels that he is more pleasing to the eye and not so generous.

The two of them quickly arrived at Fu's house while chatting and laughing.

Fu Zhenqing is just an eighth-grade eunuch, and he lives at the end of East Fourth Street.

The lintel of the door is low, and the house is not big. There are three entrances and three exits, and you can almost see the whole house at a glance.If the screen wall at the entrance is too large, it will definitely block most of the east sunlight during the day, and Yang Qi will not be able to enter, and it is easy for Yin to prevail and Yang to decline.

The banquet was held in the garden. Because the house was small and the garden was cramped and stingy, there were not many precious flowers to choose from.

The servants led Fu Rudi and Fu Jiao to the table.

Fu Jiao stood behind Fu Rudi.She first glanced at the noodles she was going to eat today and found that the soup was clear and watery, and none of them was what she liked.

However, this time she was wrong.

The concubine Fu Jiao couldn't eat any meat, and she usually had a light taste.Knowing that she was coming back, Mrs. Xie specially ordered the kitchen to cook something lighter, with only two spicy dishes.

"Father, mother, and aunts."

Fu Rudi greeted everyone at the table one by one.

Fu Zhenqing and Mrs. Xie are sitting at the top, and from left to right are the sullen Fu Changjian, the vicious Fu Yan, the heavily made-up Aunt Chen, and the silent Aunt Lu.

"Hurry and take a seat, the food is getting cold."

Fu Zhenqing motioned for them to sit down, but he didn't say anything to Fu Jiao.

According to the order, Fu Changjian gave up his position, and Fu Rudi was next to Fu Zhenqing.Fu Jiao, the youngest, sat with Aunt Lu and Aunt Chen.

This was the first time for Fu Jiao to see the Fu family in their entirety.

It was no different from the original owner's memory, but it looked more real.

Fu Zhenqing raised his chopsticks and said, "Rudi has handled a beautiful case this time. The saint is very satisfied. He even praised it this morning." He said to Fu Changjian, "You should learn more from your brother."

"The boy knows."

Fu Changjian couldn't even pass the examination as a scholar, so he felt guilty with these four words.

He stood up and toasted Fu Rudi with a glass of wine, "Brother, I want to toast you."

Fu Rudi followed the good advice and politely gave him a few words of advice.

The family looks harmonious.

It's just that everyone pretends that Fu Jiao doesn't exist. Except for the occasional glare from Fu Yan across from her, Fu Jiao lowers her head and just shows off her food, but in her heart she is secretly analyzing what these people are hiding.

At this moment, Aunt Chen, who was beside her, suddenly approached her and said in a low voice: "Jiaojiao, I remember you don't like these spicy things. Why did you eat so much tonight? Could it be that you live in Fuya with your brother?" , did he treat you badly?" Aunt Chen covered her mouth and smiled after saying this, "What's it like for a girl like you to stay in the government office all day long? Your brother is busy with official duties and how can he take good care of you? It's better to go home and live there. .”

Fu Jiao swallowed the spicy chicken in her mouth, picked up the handkerchief on the table and touched the corner of her mouth.

She sat upright and sneered in her heart: Well, we finally talked about her.
