Chapter 294: Going Down the Mountain
"Learn some fist and foot skills with Master An?" Fu Tingyun was stunned when she heard the request of her third brother-in-law.
"Yes!" Cousin 3 smiled, "It's enough to strengthen your body!"
"Then let me talk to Master An?" Fu Tingyun couldn't answer directly about this matter.
"This is natural." The third brother-in-law was very grateful. After talking to Fu Tingyun for a few words, he pulled the third cousin away.
Fu Tingyun thought about it and packed two taels of Dahongpao sent by his seventh brother-in-law a few days ago and went to the backyard.
Master An took a palm-leaf fan and was lying on the drunkard chair under the eaves to enjoy the cool air. Seeing Fu Tingyun coming, he sat up with a smile and called the servant who was serving the body to pour tea.
"Then use the tea I brought to you!" Fu Tingyun smiled and handed the tea in the red box to the servant, "It's Dahongpao, how do you taste it?"
Master An was not polite and ordered the servant to make tea.
Fu Tingyun asked the two children: "...but are you still taught? Have you caused you any trouble?"
"The two children are very obedient." Master An said, with a warm smile in his eyes. It can be seen that he likes these two children very much, "and he endured hardships. The eldest is more kind and the second is more smart. Zhao Ling is a blessing."
The son was praised by the master, and Fu Tingyun couldn't help but show a little joy in the corners of his eyes and eyebrows: "This is also because you have given you guidance to the two children, so that they can be so obedient." As he spoke, the servant brought tea over.
From afar, they could smell the fragrance.
An Dao Chang's eyebrows moved slightly.
Fu Tingyun also stopped the topic.
When the servant came over, Master An couldn't wait to pick up the teacup and lower his head to smell the fragrance of the tea, then took a sip.
"Good tea!" Master An's eyes lit up and he praised, "It has both the fragrance of Longjing and the mellowness of Min Hong. It is worthy of being a royal tribute."
Unexpectedly, Master An likes tea.
Fu Tingyun smiled and said, "The sword is given to the hero. I still have a few high-quality Xinyang Maojian in my place. Let my maid bring it to you when I turn around."
Master An laughed and said, "You can't have something to come to me, right?" He made Fu Tingyun blush.
"It's okay, it's okay." He smiled, "You just care."
Fu Tingyun was a little embarrassed to tell her that her third brother-in-law wanted Chunbing and Yuanxiao to practice martial arts with him.
"This is a good thing." Master An agreed readily, "No need to be a disciple. Just ask them to get up with Brother Xi and Brother Xu tomorrow, and then come to the backyard to find me."
This...is that considered agreeing?
Fu Tingyun was stunned for a moment.
She thought she would be rejected or scolded by Master An!
After coming back to her senses, she thanked her repeatedly.
"What are you thanking!" Dao Zheng An smiled, "They two kids are here, and you can also be a companion for Brother Xi and Brother Xu, so as not to always worry about looking for Lantern Festival to play." He also said, "If someone wants to practice martial arts with me in the future, you can just bring me here."
Very generous.
Fu Tingyun responded repeatedly, exchanged a few greetings with Daozhu An, and went to report to his third cousin and his third brother-in-law.
The two of them were naturally very happy. They pressed Shu Xiu, who was the one who was the husband of Xixi, and their third brother-in-law personally sent clothes and money to come.
Master An did not refuse and asked the servant to take him off.
From then on, spring cakes and Lantern Festival were added to the backyard every morning.
The days were just like this and it was the end of July. Although it was still very hot at noon, it was already covered with a thin quilt at night. Fu Tingyun's body also showed her a look, and the third cousin discussed going down the mountain with her: "Your side is also going to prepare for delivery."
The two sisters thought of going together. They chose a zodiac auspicious day and were escorted by their third brother-in-law. The two families went down the mountain in a mighty manner.
Because Fu Tingyun was pregnant and took three children, the third cousin and his third brother-in-law took them back to Shijia Hutong first, instructing his maid and the mother helped Fu Tingyun and the others carry the box and cage.
There were cars and horses in front of the Zhao family, and everyone on the side next door knew that they had returned from Yuming Mountain.
The third cousin said goodbye to Fu Tingyun in front of the Chuhuamen: "...I don't know what chaos is going on at home, so I'll go back to clean up. I'll see you in two days. If you have anything to do, let Zheng Sanniang go and pass on a message to me."
Fu Tingjun smiled and nodded, called Youyou and Xi Ge'er, and Xu Ge'er came to see her third cousin's family.
Because my third brother-in-law and Fu Tingyun discussed it with him, Chunbing and Yuanxiao came to ask Master An every five days, and the other time was the two children practiced at home. So although they were about to part, the children did not feel sad at all, but instead got together and chattered.
The third brother-in-law couldn't help laughing, patted Chunbing and Yuanxiao's shoulders, and said, "If you have poor homework, you won't come."
Chunbing hurriedly said, "Dad, don't worry, we will do our homework well." When he first practiced martial arts with Master An, he was so tired that he couldn't even lift his arms. He persisted, but he felt that his body was a little lighter when walking, and his energy became easier to concentrate when reading. He cherished the opportunity to practice martial arts with Master An.
However, Lantern Festival regarded martial arts as an opportunity to play with Brother Xi, so she did not care about her homework before.
He couldn't help but lower his head when he heard this and responded listlessly, "Yes".
Brother Xi, who was hiding behind Fu Tingyun, shook his eyebrows at him, feeling quite gloating.
Yuanxiao glared at Brother Xi several times before returning home with his parents.
Although he lived in the mountain for two or three months, Zhou's mother and others who stayed at home cleaned the courtyard, and changed the cloth curtains and blue silk tents in season. They could rest after putting a box and a bed.
Fu Tingjun praised Zhou's mother and others who were staying at home, and a little maid ran in and replied, "Mrs. Wu is here to visit her."
"What are she doing?" Fu Tingjun murmured in a low voice, looking at the servants coming and going in the yard, and instructed the little maid, "Please sit in the hall of the south room."
The little maid left.
Fu Tingyun washed up, changed her clothes, and went to the hall of the South House.
"Just just came back from the mountain, the house was in a mess," she explained to Mrs. Wu with a smile as she entered the door, "I had to feel wronged that my wife came to the south room to have a cup of tea."
"It's okay, it's okay." Mrs. Wu smiled and walked forward, kissed Fu Tingyun's hand, "I haven't seen you for a few months, and I'm so anxious." As she said that, her face changed, she took a few steps back, looked at Fu Tingyun up and down, "Did you have it again?" She seemed very surprised.
Fu Tingyun's face turned slightly red and said, "It's almost five months."
"Oh," Mrs. Wu smiled immediately, "Will we have another drink at the end of that year?" Her expression was filled with joy.
Fu Tingyun responded vaguely, changed the subject, and greeted Mrs. Wu: "Are you doing well these days?"
It was originally a social talk, but who knew that Mrs. Wu sighed and said, "What's so good? I was so sad that my head hurts when my wife was quarreled."
Fu Tingyun was surprised.
Mrs. Wu said, "Didn't their thirteenth son have some misunderstandings with your elder sister? She wrote a letter to Lord Li. Lord Li was so angry that he immediately sent a staff member to take over the thirteenth son of the Li family to the post. Mrs. Li wanted to tell you, "You have always lived in Yuming Mountain. She has not met anyone after coming several times. She is also weak-skinned. She is embarrassed to go up the mountain to disturb you, so she asked me to tell her when you come back, but she is afraid that I will not be able to do my best. She will send an old lady to ask every now and then. Now, I will come to see you as soon as you come back, so I can reply to Mrs. Li."
When Fu Tingyun heard that Mr. Li Shisan was no longer in Kyoto, he couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.
Mrs. Li wanted to ask Mrs. Wu to come forward and help talk about her!
Anyone who is involved in this matter will feel ashamed.
She can understand quite well.
Fortunately, I didn't plan to get close to the Li family, so I smiled and said, "Then please ask Mrs. Wu to tell me about it. The child is having fun, so that she doesn't have to take it seriously. This solemn matter will make me feel a little uneasy."
Seeing that Fu Tingyun was so easy to talk, Mrs. Wu couldn't help but be happy and said a lot of flattering words like "Mrs. Zhao is really broad-minded", and then she stood up to say goodbye.
Yuwei secretly told Fu Tingyun and dumbly: "I don't know how much benefit Mrs. Wu took Mrs. Li, so hard work."
"Don't care how much benefits she has taken!" Fu Tingyun smiled, "It would be a great thing to break up with the Li family as soon as possible."
Yu Wei nodded continuously.
Despite this, Mrs. Li brought a lot of gifts to visit Fu Tingyun and Youyou the next day.
Fu Tingyun did not blame Li Shisan again and again, and Madam Li left with a blushing face.
Yuwei looked at it and couldn't help but sigh: "A flower is inserted into cow dung."
"What nonsense?" Fu Tingjun couldn't help laughing and scolded her.
Yu Wei covered her mouth and smiled.
Pearl walked in: "Madam, there is a maid who claims to be Lianxin. She was entrusted by her aunt and wanted to see you in urgent need."
"Auntie?" Fu Tingyun and Yu Wei looked at each other. She thought for a long time and said confusedly, "I can't remember which aunt I have contact with..."
Yuwei's heart moved and said, "Can it be that person?" He said, pointing to the yard next door.
Fu Tingyun thought about it and hesitated: "It's really possible."
Yu Wei curled her lips: "What does their family matter have to do with us? It would be nice if we don't go to find him bad luck. Could she still expect our wife to care about her other people's business?" After saying that, she stared at Fu Tingyun intently, only to pull Fu Tingyun's sleeve and let Fu Tingyun refuse.
"Let's meet!" Fu Tingyun pondered, "I once said that if she had something to ask the maid to come and tell me... If you can help, you might as well help. If you can't help, you can also explain it clearly to Aunt Wu, so as not to put your hope on us." He also said, "You don't know that when people are desperate, they will even hold the straw tightly in their hands."
Yuwei lowered her head in shame when she remembered her own experience.
Fu Tingyun asked Zhenzhu to bring the person in.
The little maid is only twelve years old, and she looks very nervous when she sees her, her voice is tense, her words are trembling, and her eyes are even raised even more and even dare not raise her eyes: "My aunt said that our uncle often goes to a lady named Min in the Nenjiang Hutong, and wants to ask her wife to help check what the details of Miss Min is..."
Fu Tingyun was stunned.
With their friendship, it seems that it is not as good as that they can help inquire about such things?
