It is not easy to be the fourth master's wife

Chapter 161

Fei Cui took people out, and there was only coral beeswax left in the warm pavilion. The two maids stood by the door. Seeing from a distance that there was no water in the cup, they stepped forward to add water lightly, and then stood up to the door again. side to go.

The spring light shines in through the glass windows, and shines on the cloisonné enamel incense burner inlaid with precious stones, and the light smoke from Suhe incense rises curling up. Because of Feng's words, Zhou Ting's thoughts were aroused, and she drooped. Eyelids, fingers caressing the gold thread acacia flowers embroidered on the sleeves.

There was a vague smile on Feng's face, the corners of his eyes were full of bitterness, and his voice was like a kite string pulled far away, intermittently: "Our master, it is not an exaggeration to say that he is a wanderer. At the beginning, the family was considered well-off, and the concubines from house to house went to the head of the house. I was just a housekeeper who was lifted up by a girl. The concubine is bullying me so much that I can't see it, so I helped to sort things out."

Since she woke up, she has become a housekeeper of the Feng family. Those concubines have turned the Feng family's back house into a mess, and the lady in front is kind and can't come up with any ideas when things go wrong.

She was originally the girl next to Mrs. Feng, but because of her good looks, Feng Jiuru took the room. Mrs. Feng thought that she had stayed by her side for so many years, and promoted her to the fourth bedroom, but she didn't know how she bumped her head. She has always been supported by good soup and medicine, without her, the Feng family would not be able to survive at all.

After winning her love, he naturally wanted to repay her. Seeing that she really didn't have the ability to manage the family, he helped her to suppress those concubines. The longer they got along, the two women could be regarded as true friendship. Feng Fu gradually understood her The desire to leave had already been promised to her. After all, Feng Jiuru was a lover of flowers, and he would bring a woman back with him every time he left. He didn't care if there was one more or one less like Mrs. Feng, but Mrs. Feng Unexpectedly, she couldn't afford to be ill, and she was the only one around her who could take care of her lonely.

Zhou Ting didn't speak, she poked her eyes this way, Zhou Ting winked, and the two girls lifted the curtain and stood outside. Ting was sitting in one place, she stood up and sat down in the chair next to Feng's, and refilled her with a porcelain pot.

With tears in Feng's eyes, she glanced at her gratefully. She had never said this to anyone, and she would never mention it to anyone in the future. She pinched the cup and sipped the bitter tea: "That time the goods were stolen. I stumbled a big somersault when I was in the middle of the night, and it was considered a wisdom. When I came back, the previous one was too hard to bear and let go. The first seven have just passed. I hugged Brother Chang and put on a filial piety to meet him at the door. The one who came in couldn't tell it was a master at a glance."

She used to be a good concubine, but she earned it by herself. Feng Jiuru didn't return for two years, and the former Mrs. Feng left again, leaving only a child who was a little over one year old. The whole family was about to suffer from famine It was she who stood up and carried the matter with all her strength, which lasted until Feng Jiuru came back.

Chang'er is over one year old and just knew how to call her mother. The family lost both the owner and the mistress. An old servant, hugged Chang'er in Mrs. Feng's mourning hall, and hid the family's valuables under the coffin, thus saving most of the Feng family's wealth.

Feng Shigang was still choking, but when she opened her mouth, she became calm. Zhou Ting sighed for her, reached out and patted the back of her hand. She smiled: "To speak of unruly words, I thought at that time that such an incomprehensible person couldn't be trusted. He had already figured out a way to go out, but he couldn't bear to part with Brother Chang. He is so young. He knew I was coming. Hugging in my arms and calling her mother, she is not my own, but it makes no difference."

Zhou Ting felt as if a stone was blocked in her heart, and her throat was stuck, and she couldn't say any words of relief.What Feng needs is not someone to give her advice, what she wants is to listen, Zhou Ting took a sip of tea from the cup, seeing that she seemed to be unable to continue, she raised her hand and called Shan Shan: "Go and adjust the honey." Come here, bring some desserts, the sweeter the better."

My heart is already so bitter, how can I survive if I don't eat some sweets.After hearing her words, Mrs. Feng showed a little smile, and when Zhou Ting gave birth to a little affection, "Finally, after something happened, I became a human being, and I am no longer so ignorant, and let go of those concubines." , just bury his head in some small businesses to support his family.”

The tone was very nostalgic, Zhou Ting was silent, and guessed her mind: "You are thinking, if you didn't toss the glass at that time, now, he is still living with your wife and children on the bed?"

Feng Shi was taken aback, she couldn't tell herself that she would not regret it later, the matter of tossing about the glass is really not hard to guess, if the Feng family really had a glass recipe in their hands, how could it be this generation that made their fortune?Thinking about raising his eyes to look at Zhou Ting: "For a smart person like Fujin, I don't hide those. To put it bluntly, without me, how would he be where he is today."

Those businesses in the future were indeed created by Feng Jiuru himself, but it was also indispensable for Feng Shi to make suggestions behind him. If there was no glass to back him up and let him earn the first pot of gold, he would not even have the capital. How could he be like this now? , brought more than a dozen merchant ships as soon as they went to sea?

"His business is getting bigger and bigger, but when his business gets bigger, his heart grows. In the past two years, I still followed him. He also helped me stop the ugly things outside. These two years, it's not like before." Feng Shi's expression darkened: "I don't know about those filthy things. There are many wealthy families in the south, and the business can be established. He travels twice a year. How can he stay for two or three months? It turned out that he was Sitting facing north, the only ones who do things are begging for help, but now they are the only ones who are fawning on him."

How many men can hold on to that den of gold.Jiangnan is a land of fireworks. Those who want to use Feng Ji to make a relationship with Yinzhen don't hesitate to throw money and silver. After giving away the gold and silver, they will give them to women. It turns out that those gossips Feng just pretended not to know , Now that she came to the door with a big belly, how could she lie to herself.

"You always have to think about his goodness. How can you push him away? The entire Qing Dynasty, like you, is already the first one." Zhou Ting sighed for her in her heart, still trying to persuade her .If it is modern times, she can deal with it in whatever way she wants. According to her means, it is not easy to get a man to leave the house, but now in ancient times, it is not easy for a woman to leave the house without a man. With Zhou Ting like this, the blue brick floor in front of her house has never been stepped on a few times, so where can she go?
Scholars, farmers, businessmen, and merchants are indeed the lowest in social status. Farmers can still wear silk if they have money.If Feng Jiuru hadn't joined Yinzhen's family, how could he be as comfortable as he is now.

How many women in this era can go out to sea once and go to Southeast Asia?Feng's could be regarded as a pioneer, but she also relied on Feng Jiuru for her pioneering. No matter where a woman goes, it is not easy for a woman to break out by herself.

Feng Shi was a little hesitant when she opened her mouth, but now she became more determined as she spoke. After hearing Zhou Ting's words, she closed her eyes, and the teardrops that were still in her eyes just now slid down the corners of her eyes. She raised her hand and wiped her hand. The kapok embroidered on the kite seemed to be stained with dew, raised her eyebrows slightly, and smiled loudly, and pulled back the kite string that had flown away: "It's also me who is crazy, husband, husband, it's only within ten feet." Husband, so far away from me, I still believe that he is clean."

Zhou Ting bit her lip and frowned: "Since this girl came in with a baby, it's two things to say whether the belly is clean or not." The water will not wash it clean, and there is no better way than this.

As soon as she finished speaking, Feng showed her a clear smile: "It's not because of me. If I wanted to, she wouldn't be able to get in with a hundred of them. I just don't want to get my hands dirty." Standing up and standing one step away from Zhou Ting, he made a big salute: "I have said a lot, but I want Fujin to know the past and the future, and what will happen in the future. I just hope that Fujin will read some of today's love, don't let it go." I just stopped outside."

She had cried just now, her eyes were rimmed with red, and she looked a little delicate with her slim body, but there was a firmness in her brows, Zhou Ting paused, and she knew that she was a person who would rather be broken than jade by seeing her behavior, not to mention She was treated sincerely by Feng Jiuru.If she hadn't tasted that taste, she might still be able to be a stable housewife. After all, Feng Ji's business couldn't be separated from her, and she took the big head to support Brother Chang, and the family business would still belong to Brother Chang in the future.However, she lost it after gaining it. With such a temperament, how could she be willing to endure this grievance and support her concubine and concubine?
Where are the children?
Mrs. Feng sat at Zhou Ting's place all morning, drank two pots of plum honey tea, ate a plate of wosi candy, and bent down again when she left: "I have never told Fujin about me. My family name is Thank you, single name is Ying, if you hand in the post later, Fujin don't beat me out."

This is determined to clean it up, Zhou Ting looked at her, nodded and smiled for a while: "I can't do without a pot of tea here."

After sending off the Feng family, Fei Cui complained to Zhou Ting: "The Feng family is too unruly, why did you bring someone who has never learned the rules,
Master doesn't know..."

Zhou Ting raised her hand to stop her words, she sighed heavily with a tired face, Fei Cui silently looked at her face carefully, Zhou Ting opened and closed her eyes, stood up and put her hands on Fei Cui's arms Going into the house, she had this matter in her heart, and her brows became gloomy. It turned out that she was so envious of Feng Shi, but in the end it was still a basin of cold water.

How difficult it must be for a woman to earn a living in this era, but she seems to have made up her mind, Zhou Ting let others think of herself, and now she and Yinzhen are like honey, it turned out that when she first arrived , Don't you want to live your life well?The last time someone brought a skinny horse, she felt so uncomfortable. If he really had another woman, what would she do?

I haven't heard of a queen who can unite and leave. Zhou Ting thought all the way, those things that she thought about sweetness before, now it's like tasting Coptis chinensis.She might have to worry about this all her life. It's not like Yinzhen didn't promise it, but which couple doesn't make vows when they get along well?

Bai Tang Cake just woke up, and the little man was still angry about getting up, twisting his buttocks and losing his temper on the bed. When he looked up, Zhou Ting pouted and frowned. Zhou Ting laughed when she saw him, and hugged him tightly in her arms. Kissed hard, the white sugar cake made two yays, twisted her body not to be hugged, and was slapped on the buttocks by Zhou Ting. Just when she felt better, Xiao Zhang from outside came in and reported: "Dong E's family Please see Fujin."

Zhou Ting was startled, but couldn't think of it right away, Xiao Zhangzi didn't hear the sound, and passed another sentence: "It's the Dong'e family who is engaged to Da Gege in our house."
