Chapter 35: The Fusang Daughter

Beijing·Jin Mansion·Garden.

It is said that aristocratic families have many rules, but in fact this is not the case at all. Whether it is the Jin family in the capital or the eight families in Tianjin and Hong Kong, the young master is more playful than the other.

Although there are still many etiquette requirements for major events such as ancestor worship, and there are more rules when a large family eats together, no one in other places would be stupid enough to wrong themselves, and they would just have fun in private.

That is to say, many people in later generations have been deceived. Today they will learn aristocratic etiquette, and tomorrow they will learn how to eat Western food. They don’t have much money in their pockets, and they eat in a style that is more royal than the royal family. The queen and the old lady would say it is authentic. In fact,

Just looking for trouble for yourself.

What is it about three generations to cultivate a nobleman? Originally it meant eating, drinking, having fun, dressing up and eating, with the kind of squandering money and bossing around. In later generations, some people did not have the conditions, so they just made some weird things to torment themselves. After going through the experience of some "socialites"

Amplify the fermentation, okay, if you don’t search for dining etiquette online for a long time, you will be embarrassed to enter a Western restaurant!

Is this spending money to eat, or is it spending money to perform "Western food etiquette" for others? In fact, many real nobles cannot figure out the use of various tableware, but no one will say that they do not comply with dining etiquette.

But looking at the man in the garden, he is indeed Jin Rong. He has learned all kinds of etiquette, but you can’t tell that he looks like an aristocrat while eating.

Jin Rongjiao said: "Master Jin, Master Jin..."

The parrot imitated the words: "Jinrong, Jinrong..."

Jin Rong cursed: "Beast."

The parrot imitated the words: "Jin Rong is a beast..."

Feng'er smiled sweetly and said: "Pfft, cluck, cluck..."

This funny scene happened to be seen by Feng'er who came to deliver clothes, causing her to tremble and smile coquettishly.

Jin Rong said awkwardly: "It's Feng'er."

Feng'er held up the clothes and said, "Brother Jin Rong, your clothes have been washed."

Jin Rong was fascinated and said: "Okay, Feng'er, you are such a graceful girl. Look at these delicate little hands. They are worn out from working. Come and let me rub them for you."

Jin Rong took the opportunity to take over the clothes and stroked Feng'er's plain hand. Although Feng'er wanted to withdraw her hand, she didn't dare to force it and could only endure it.

Feng'er said shyly: "Brother Jinrong, don't be like this..."

Bai Xiuzhu walked into the garden and said: "Jinrong."

Bai Xiuzhu's arrival frightened Jin Rong, and Feng'er took the opportunity to withdraw his hand and ran away with a blushing face.

Jin Rong said with a guilty conscience: "Seventh Young Mistress."

Bai Xiuzhu asked: "Why, do you like my girl?"

Jin Rong sneered and said, "I don't dare. How dare I think of such a good girl like Feng'er."

Bai Xiuzhu tentatively said: "There is nothing wrong with it. As the saying goes, you are the seventh-ranking official in front of the prime minister. You are the chief steward of the Jin family. If this girl Feng'er marries you, she will be considered a high achiever."

Jin Rong said seriously: "Seventh Young Madam, are you serious?"

Bai Xiuzhu said bluntly: "Although Feng'er has been with me for many years, the girl will get married when she gets older. Rather than marrying an outsider who doesn't know the details, it is better to marry you. Yan Xi can say that you are the most loyal and reliable loyal friend of the Jin family."

Servant."

Jin Rong agreed: "Oh, I'm so grateful to the Seventh Young Mistress for making it happen."

Bai Xiuzhu and Jin Rong decided Feng'er's life-long events in just a few words, but who asked her personal opinion? In fact, this is the norm of this era. People like Xiao Lian who dare to pursue their dreams are rare.

, after all, she is called a strange woman because she is rare.

In fact, it is reasonable for Bai Xiuzhu to want to win over Jin Rong. Jin Rong is the big housekeeper of the Jin family. Jin Quan, Jin Mu, and Jin Yanxi all trust him, which makes Bai Xiuzhu unable to ignore Jin Rong. Besides, Bai Xiuzhu can

She didn't have the idea of ​​sacrificing Feng'er, because when Bai Xiuzhu said this before, Feng'er had a high profile and was really not polite. Bai Xiuzhu really thought that Jinrong was a good destination. After all, referring to the original trajectory of Ginkgo and Cui Wensheng's marriage, they were

This is true in comparison.

Just when Bai Xiuzhu and Jin Rong were discussing marriage matters, they heard cries coming from Jin's mansion. The sound seemed to be from the fourth lady's room, so Bai Xiuzhu and Jin Rong rushed to check.

Liu Shouhua accused: "Your father is so old and has married so many concubines. I am so young, so what if I marry just one?"

Jin Daozhi cried: "Didn't you agree not to take her back when you returned to China? You went back on your word again, you always lied to me."

The couple's quarrel attracted everyone. When Bai Xiuzhu walked in, Jin Mu, Jin Minzhi, Jin Runzhi, and Jin Meili had all come over.

Jin Daozhi complained: "Mom, look at him, Tiantian is already two years old, and he brought a woman back from Fusang."

Jin Runzhi said: "Why are you so shameless? You brought back a Fusang woman. How shameless."

Seeing his sister rushing forward to fight, Jin Daozhi stood in front of Liu Shouhua to protect her husband and stop her sister.

Jin Daozhi defended: "Sixth sister, don't be like this, please speak up."

Jin Runzhi stopped and said: "I didn't hit him, I didn't hit him."

Jin Daozhi asked: "Mother, how would you like to deal with this matter?"

The golden mother replied: "Let's wait until your father comes back in the evening."

Jin Daozhi nodded and said: "That's all."

……

Beijing·Maoyuan Teahouse.

Since Liu Baoshan's house could no longer be used as a club for the Jin brothers, Jin Yanxi renovated Liu Fangzi's teahouse and transformed Maoyuan Teahouse into a new men's gathering place.

Jin Yanxi put down her teacup and said, "Fourth brother-in-law, why do you have time to treat me alone today?"

Liu Shouhua sighed: "Oh, my father-in-law wants me to send Tagawa Sakurako, that servant girl of Fuso, back to Fuso."

Jin Yanxi said: "Wait a minute, you don't want me to find a solution for you, do you? I haven't beaten you yet for letting Fourth Sister down."

Liu Shouhua begged for mercy: "How can I say I have let it down? I have apologized to Daozhi repeatedly for this matter and obtained her forgiveness."

Jin Yanxi tested: "Then if my father must separate you from that Tagawa Sakurako, what will you do?"

Liu Shouhua is very aware of current affairs. If he can give up Tagawa Yingzi today because of Jin Quan's pressure, he may give up Jin Daozhi tomorrow. Although Jin Yanxi will make the Jin family prosperous, Liu Shouhua will not be given such an opportunity.

Liu Shouhua said firmly: "I can't give up Yingzi, I love her, so I will move out with Daozhi, but don't worry, I won't make Daozhi sad."

Jin Yanxi agreed: "Okay, be responsible. My fourth sister did not fall in love with the wrong person."

Liu Shouhua had an accurate judgment on the situation. After Jin Yanxi analyzed the current situation and helped Liu Shouhua establish a diplomatic profile, Liu Shouhua had a different understanding of Jin Yanxi's abilities, and Jin Yanxi herself also took a concubine.

He should be able to understand this kind of thing about men, so Liu Shouhua is inclined to ask Jin Yanxi for help this time.

Jin Yanxi analyzed: "This is easier said than done. I'll help you do it. Let that Tagawa Sakura live in Prince Rui's Mansion for a few days first. You and the fourth sister will move out in a month, and then there will be another show.

It’s a bitter trick, I’ll just say that if I bump into you and Sakurako Tagawa, I’ll really beat you up, and my father will acquiesce when he sees you being beaten.”

Liu Shouhua said happily: "I'll go and tell you where the road is. There's no shortage of money. We'll go look at the house tomorrow."

Jin Yanxi suggested: "Actually, you don't need to look for a house specifically. When we were cleaning out the borers, Mr. Jia's house was converted into a dormitory for servants because it was close to the Jin Mansion. Mr. Chai's house is more luxurious. You can go to the accounting office to find it.

Fuhai bought it at a low price. It’s a small western-style building, so it’s a bargain for you.”

Liu Shouhua thanked you and said, "Thank you so much, Yanxi."

(Jin Yanxi: By the way, let Sakurako Tagawa investigate her identity at Ruizi.)

……

Capital·Jin Mansion·Seven Bedrooms.

When she got home, Bai Xiuzhu had already had dinner with Xiao Lian. She would not wait for Jin Yanxi if it was late. She would not pay attention to it unless Jin Yanxi expressed something.

Seeing Jin Yanxi coming back, Bai Xiuzhu immediately came up to him with a smile, and helped Jin Yanxi take off her uniform with Xiao Lian.

Bai Xiuzhu asked: "Do you need to eat?"

Jin Yanxi shook her head and said: "I have eaten. I will treat my fourth brother-in-law to a meal alone tonight."

Jin Yanxi leaned on the bed, held Bai Xiuzhu in her arms, kissed her on the forehead, and then looked at her.

Jin Yanxi whispered: "Why are you looking at me like that?"

Bai Xiuzhu pointed out: "You and your fourth brother-in-law are involved in shady activities, so why don't you resort to it?"

Jin Yanxi confessed: "Actually, it's nothing. It's just that the fourth brother-in-law didn't send that Fusang woman back to Fusang, so he came to ask me for help. I heard the details..."

Bai Xiuzhu asked: "So that Tagawa Sakurako's identity is innocent."

Jin Yanxi replied: "She should be just an ordinary servant. Let's observe it in the future."

Bai Xiuzhu reminded: "Then what are you going to do with the extraordinary Fusang woman you left in Jinggang? It's not a problem to keep her in the old house in Jinggang."

Jin Yanxi said: "If you don't tell me, I will forget about her. Tomorrow I will ask Zhu Fu to go to Tianjin to pick him up. Ruizi Gege is in need of a maid."

Bai Xiuzhu said: "One more thing, Feng'er has been with me since she was a child, and now she is not young. I want to betroth her to Jin Rong."

Jin Yanxi agreed: "Everything about the back house is up to you, but men are afraid of getting into the wrong profession and women are afraid of marrying the wrong man. You should make it clear to them and don't make any enemies."

Bai Xiuzhu said: "Don't worry, I know what's going on."

Jin Yanxi said: "When you mentioned Jin Rong, I also remembered one thing. The Shou Prince's Mansion was recruiting brides. Their prince Shou Yuan was not punished for plaiting a corpse this time. It was because a maid named Ginkgo sent Prince Shou ahead of time.

Her braids have been cut off, and Prince Shou wants to marry her off as his sister in order to repay his kindness. What do you think about letting her marry our Dehai?"

Bai Xiuzhu said in confusion: "Don't you hate these old people and the young the most? You also say that it is because they have been corrupted that they have lost their customs and tax rights, so the country is bullied by the big powers."

Jin Yanxi narrated: "This Prince Shou is different. I heard the details..."

Bai Xiuzhu sighed: "I have experienced so many ups and downs, okay, you can propose marriage tomorrow."

Jin Yanxi smiled and said: "I am taking advantage of that boy Dehai. Prince Shou and I have a common friend, Inspector Zhao from Taiping Lake District. Tomorrow I will let Inspector Zhao introduce me to Prince Shou."<

/p>

Bai Xiuzhu suggested: "After all is said and done, you can go sleep in Xiao Lian's room tonight."

Jin Yanxi promised: "No, I promise not to move or move anything, and I will sleep quietly next to you."

Bai Xiuzhu pushed and said: "Don't try to lie to me, I don't believe you."

The couple started fighting like this, but in the end Jin Yanxi still refused to leave. Of course, she was always honest with her daughter-in-law and really just slept next to her, otherwise it would be bad to leave a psychological shadow on her.
