Rebirth: Fu Jia Returns

Chapter 10 The Old Lady's Concerns
Sure enough, Fu Rong led Fu Jia to look around the entire courtyard of the Hou Mansion in the afternoon.

Wherever he went, he would talk about what Fu Jia had done here, and even specially invited her to Fu Jia's former yard, Caiwei Garden.

The flowers and trees there are still lush, but there are fewer human voices and more silence.

In the evening, the sun slanted westward.

Fu Rong finally took Fu Jia around the entire Hou Mansion.

Qingsuo quietly thumped her sore legs, and secretly gave Fu Rong a thumbs up in her heart.

She still felt tired, so she didn't believe that Fu Jianeng would be better off.

Outside the old lady's courtyard, Mrs. Anping Hou brought Fu Rong and Fu Jia along the winding path.

Compassion Hall.

This courtyard was designed by the old Hou Ye himself. It is located at the right rear of the Hou Mansion. The environment is quiet, surrounded by tall plane trees, and a ginkgo tree in the middle of the courtyard is now sprouting new greenery.

The corridor has a wide eaves, along the Qingshiban road to the main hall, the second room, Mrs. Yu, was wearing a dark blue dress, waiting quietly, met Mrs. Anpinghou, stepped forward to pay respects, her eyes fell on Fu Jia, a little gloomy .

Fu Jia moved her footsteps, swept away the strangeness in her heart, and politely bowed her knees to salute.

Yu Shi laughed, and took off the sandalwood Buddha beads in his hand and gave them to Fu Jia.

Fu Jia hurriedly declined: "It seems that Jiajia has been with the second wife for many years, and Jiajia dare not accept it."

Upon hearing Jia Jia's name, Mrs. Yu paused with a smile, and then said with a smile: "It's okay, just keep it if you want."

While talking, the door curtain of the back room was opened, and an old lady with silver-white hair, a yellow-blue forehead, and a plain dress came out.

"I met the old lady."

Everyone stepped forward to salute.

When the old lady saw Fu Jia, she was surprised.

Then I asked a few more questions, how old I am, what I do, have I ever read books, etc.

Fu Jia replied one by one: "... I have read a few books, but I am not too familiar with them."

The old lady didn't continue to ask, and ordered the meal to be served.

In the beginning, the old lady moved here not to let Mrs. Anpinghou and the others come here often.

I often chant scriptures and copied scriptures by myself. Later, Marquis Anping couldn't stand it anymore, so he decided to come here for dinner once a month.

Well, today is the day.

Fu Jia quietly looked at the old lady.

Much older than before, with gray hair...

The meal was silent.

Fu Rong was very tired, and she put down her chopsticks before taking a few bites.

Qingsuo looked at Fu Jia gloatingly, but Fu Jia ate with relish, as if he had never eaten such delicious food.

Qingsuo secretly rolled his eyes.

It was only at this time that it was possible to see that Miss Fu really came from a small place in the countryside, and I don't know if she will be laughed at if she goes out to a banquet with her wife in the future!

Mrs. Anping Hou looked at Fu Jia who was eating sweet food, and for some reason, her appetite improved a lot.

After dinner, Mrs. Yu took Fu Rong back to the courtyard next door. Fu Rong was also tired, so she said goodbye to Fu Jia enthusiastically, and left contentedly.

Fu Jia accompanied Mrs. Anping Hou back to the yard, and then slowly walked towards her own yard.

The moonlight is like water, and Fu Jia's heart at this moment is also like this moonlight, gentle and gentle.

She finally came back.

When Marquis Anping came back, it was a bit late, but he still insisted on visiting the old lady.

"Master Hou is here."

Following the servant girl's report, Marquis Anping walked in with long legs, before he had time to change into his official uniform.

When the old lady heard this, the prayer beads in her hand paused, and she opened her slightly closed eyes.

"Why is it so late today?"

The old lady knew that Marquis Anping would definitely come back on this day, so she kept waiting.

Besides, she had something to say.

"This Fu Jia, I think it's better to send it away in a few days."

The old lady and Anping Hou said a few words, and then straight to the point.

Marquis Anping hesitated for a moment, and said, "Does mother have any concerns?"

Actually, he didn't think about whether he should keep this girl who resembled his own daughter or not.

The old lady was silent for a while, and said: "Even if the broken vase is glued together, it is not the original vase, let alone a fake."

From the very beginning, she didn't quite agree with the clan sending people to Beijing.

Fu Jia is the daughter of the third son's family of the big house in the family. The old Hou Ye was originally the grandson of the big house. Because of the difficult life in the family, he pushed the door to the third house. He Zhongxin has been following the late emperor to conquer the Great Xia Dynasty.

The old Hou Ye became famous, and Sanfang naturally rose with the tide.

This made the big house very anxious, and clamored to ask the old Hou Ye to recognize his ancestors and return to his ancestors.

The old Hou Ye was kind-hearted, and he was also kind to Da Fang, but later, the old Hou Ye died in battle.

At that time, the frontier was chaotic, and the court was also in turmoil, but Dafang immediately separated the relationship and let the old lady support herself at that time, and took the two children through the most difficult time.

Later, Emperor Jinyang succeeded to the throne, thinking of the friendship of the old Marquis, coupled with Marquis Anping's fighting spirit, he stepped on his horse and drove the Yi people out of the frontier.

Dafang came several times and expressed his apology and regret for what he did at the beginning, but the old lady has always been noncommittal.

This time, it was only because Mrs. Anpinghou had been depressed that the old lady endured it.

However, looking at Fu Jia's appearance just now, she was as familiar as someone from this mansion, and even the small affection for Mrs. Anping Hou made the people around her think it was too much.

"This woman, the city is very deep, I'm afraid that if she stays, there will be trouble."

The old lady fidgeted with the prayer beads in her hand a few times and said.

The capital is fine, the first house and the third house have always been like fire and water, not to mention, the old lady couldn't get over this hurdle in her heart when she did such a thing back then.

Marquis Anping naturally knew about these past events. He had grown up at that time, and he was most familiar with the hypocritical faces in the clan.

"At the moment, I'm afraid it won't work in the near future. Today the court was over. The emperor asked his son to go to the imperial study, and asked about Fu Jia's situation. The empress was on the side, and said that he must bring someone to the banquet in the palace some other day. Let her see."

Anpinghou calmed down and said.

"Huh? Why is that?" The old lady was puzzled.

Anping Hou was naturally puzzled at first.

It was only later that I found out that there was a hijacking incident on the way here, and Fu Jia turned out to be the biggest helper in recovering the tribute.

What surprised Marquis Anping the most was that it was actually Jiang Li who pushed Fu Jia out and asked for a reward.

Who is Jiang Li?Such a small matter, such a small person, could make him worry about it himself.

Marquis Anping thought about it several times, but he didn't understand why Jiang Li took the initiative.

However, I always feel uneasy.

The old lady fell silent after listening to the whole process.

This Fu Jia turned out to be a very smart and observant person.

The old lady suddenly felt that she should be sent away!

　Go to work tomorrow, everyone go to bed early, good night
