Jinghong Building

Chapter 402 He is my cousin

Li Jinxiu was also ready on the way to come and wanted to deal with the pig who wanted to give her little cabbage.

She is not the only granddaughter of Lu Chang, but only Lu Chang has no mother since childhood. Therefore, compared to Lu Zhen, who is also raising her by her side, she loves Lu Chang a little more.

Lu Chang did not disappoint her. She took over Jinghong Tower as a teenager. When the capital was changing, Lu Chang had been standing at the forefront of the storm and never retreated.

Li Jinxiu has seriously thought about Lu Chang's marriage. Lu Chang has brothers, so he can't take care of him. Li Jinxiu is reluctant to let her granddaughter marry her to see her mother-in-law's face. Her granddaughter is as good as a man, and she is not as talented as a martial artist. You can't waste it in the intrigue of the back house.

During the last official exam, Li Jinxiu chose her grandson-in-law without Lu Chang's knowledge. Unfortunately, she was either very talented but had no power to tie a chicken, or Kong Wu was powerful but had a worrying appearance. In short, Li Jinxiu can't even pass that hurdle.

Li Jinxiu has been face-control since she was young, otherwise she would not have married Lu Zhong back then. She was not the folk legend of joining forces to appreciate each other, but simply like Lu Zhong's face.

Therefore, the prerequisite for Li Jinxiu to choose her grandson-in-law is to be good-looking, even if she is not as beautiful as Pan An, she must be handsome.

Zong Qi passed the test at the first glance.

Zong Qi is tall and upright, handsome and handsome. Whether it is figure or appearance, they all look on Li Jinxiu's aesthetics. More importantly, Zong Qi has no businessman's customs and the sloppy people in the world think they are free and carefree.

As a man, he must be refreshing and clean.

When she asked about the people of Jiangnan, Zong Qi talked freely and was naturally peaceful. Li Jinxiu was fascinated by the fact that the young man in front of her had long forgotten that the conversation was essentially a pig with cabbage.

We chatted until it was dark and someone brought baskets of steamed buns and pancakes, which were for the coolies who were unloading the boat.

When they were about to have dinner, Li Jinxiu stood up and said, "Well, young man, thank you for your hard work today, you chat with me, the old woman. OK, I'll leave."

After saying that, he left, and Zong Qi hurriedly handed over a basket with several big duck pears in it.

Li Jinxiu smiled. Among all the fruits, her favorite is pear, and she also has duck pear.

Li Jinxiu walked with the basket, walked in all directions, held her head and hummed a small song.

After she left, a subordinate asked quietly, "Gangmaster, who was the old lady just now? She was so arrogant. Those who didn't know would think she was the Queen Mother."

Zong Qi looked at him and said, "Just think she is the Queen Mother."

Li Jinxiu returned to the capital and came to see He Ran the next day. As soon as He Ran left the palace, she saw the nanny who was guarding outside the palace. She knew this nanny, who was the person around Li Jinxiu.

Li Jinxiu was on the carriage not far away, shaking her feet, and there were chopped duck pears on the small table.

Hearing the nanny saying that He Ran has arrived, she quickly got out of the car. He Ran smiled and raised her legs to get on the car. Li Jinxiu followed her up and saw the duck pear cut into crescent moons on the small table. He Ran smiled and said, "So Leisure? Why don’t you take a part-time job in the Ministry of War?”

Li Jinxiu waved his hand quickly: "Don't, I won't go, it makes people think that I still want to be an official at such a young age, and I am an official fan."

He Ran laughed loudly and put a bend of pear with a silver fork into her mouth: "This pear is good, it's so beautiful."

Li Jinxiu smiled proudly: "I don't even see who gave it to you."

"Who gave it to you? Your big golden grandson brought it back to you from Zhendao? No, most of the snowflakes over there are planted, this is a duck pear."

When Li Jinxiu heard He Ran mention Lu Zhen, he snorted and said, "Don't mention him, I'm angry when I mention him. This pear was not given by him."

"Who is that?" Although He Ran asked this, she already had a candidate in her heart.

Li Jinxiu put away the smile on her face and said seriously: "You are the boss, do you still remember the one named Zongqi?"

He Ran nodded: "Master of the Cao Gang, of course I remember, it would be great if I had known him earlier."

Yes, if Zong Qi had become the leader of the gang earlier, the battle between the north and the south might have been one year in the morning.

"Big boss, what do you think of this person?" Li Jinxiu asked.

He Ran looked at her and suddenly said, "Jinxiu, there is something you may not know yet."

Li Jinxiu felt a little uncomfortable. Could it be that Zong Qi is not a good person?

"What's the matter?" Li Jinxiu asked.

He Ran cleared her throat and deliberately kept it in a silence: "This matter can be big or small, and she is worried that some people with bad intentions will take the opportunity to make a big fuss. Therefore, I suppressed this matter and did not make it public."

Li Jinxiu: That Zong Qi is indeed not a good person. Look, the boss said that. No, I will chop him up when I go back.

"What's the matter with the boss? This is the capital. I, Li Jinxiu, will help you with the sky falling. We are not afraid of anything. Whoever dares to take the opportunity to write a story? I will use him to sacrifice the flag. The boss, is it the surname of the boss? It doesn’t matter if you have a bad ambition in the sect, I’ll let him lose all his money!”

Seeing that her expression became more and more gloomy, He Ran felt that the temperature was almost the same, so she said, "It's not a big deal. It's just that I have one more cousin. Zong Qi is my cousin."

Li Jinxiu: "What? Who is your cousin?"

Li Jinxiu sent He Ran back to Laomofang Hutong and went to Jinghong Tower in a blink of an eye.

When he entered, he happened to meet a worried wife coming out from inside. Both of them were stunned. The lady quickly bowed her knees and saluted: "Miao has met Mrs. Zhongyi, Mrs. Zhongyi is safe."

Li Jinxiu nodded: "No gift, I still have something to do, so I won't keep you."

She knew who this person was. She was the wife of Feng Zhaoyan, the former Jingzhao Yin. When she moved the capital, Feng Zhaoyan was ordered to stay in the capital. At that time, Lu Pingnan was responsible for leading the troops, while Feng Zhaoyan calmed the people and stood firm in the capital.

But less than a month later, as the news of the Jin army winning another battle reached the capital, Feng Zhaoyan fled with his precious son and his concubine.

Yes, when Feng Zhaoyan escaped, he only took away his concubine and son, and left his original wife and two daughters, as well as his old mother who was over 60 years old, in the capital.

In addition, he also took away the gold and silver he had obtained from corruption and abuse of power over the years, and even a century-old ginseng saved for his old mother.

The year after the capital was moved, the prices in the capital were extremely expensive, so Miao had to sell jewelry and dowry to maintain the food and food of the family. Later, He Ran entered Beijing, and the situation in the capital finally stabilized, Miao and his daughter made some needles and threads. He took it to the shop for sale. Last year, Mrs. Feng passed away, and Li Jinxiu asked her youngest daughter-in-law to go over to pay her condolences and gave her a considerable gift of silk.

Since Feng Zhaoyan left the capital, he has never seen anyone or body. Now many officials who went south have returned to the capital, but Feng Zhaoyan has not been seen.

Li Jinxiu guessed that Miao was probably here to entrust Jinghonglou to find Feng Zhaoyan.

Therefore, Li Jinxiu was too lazy to greet Miao, so she opened her mouth and sent Miao away.

Such a scumbag who is unfaithful, filial and unkind will be fine. It’s better to die. Why do you still want to do something to him? You’re a shame! Because of this little episode, Li Jinxiu's passionate heart gradually calmed down. When she saw Lu Chang, she had recovered as usual.

"What are Miao's coming to do?" Li Jinxiu asked leisurely.

Lu Chang said, "Mrs. Miao's daughter saw Feng Zhaoyan's concubine and went home to tell her. She came to us and wanted us to find the concubine."

Li Jinxiu snorted coldly: "Do she know what the price is to work in Jinghonglou? Can she pay it out?"

Lu Chang smiled: "She said that Feng Zhaoyan and the concubine took away a lot of money back then. If they found the concubine, they would find Feng Zhaoyan. Feng Zhaoyan's money would be the reward for Jinghonglou."

Li Jinxiu's eyes lit up. Feng Zhaoyan was known as Feng Baosai back then. This man was very brave. Even under the emperor's nose, he was still greedy.

The money he took was not a small amount.

"Okay, then you can ask someone to look for it. Maybe Feng Zhaoyan is really in the capital."

After talking about the serious matter, Li Jinxiu looked around and all the maids and mothers in the room stepped out tactfully. Li Jinxiu asked, "That Zongqi, what do you think?"

Lu Chang's face turned red and he said embarrassedly: "That's all right."

"It's okay? Fortunately, how good is it?" Li Jinxiu said this, but she felt regretful. It seemed that her tender little cabbage could not be saved.

No mistakes, one song, one content, one in 6, one book, one bar, one reading!

Lu Chang's face turned redder: "That person is not bad."

Li Jinxiu: "He is several years older than you! Don't believe that man is forty-one flowers. Nonsense, I have lived a long life, and I have never seen a few men still have a flower when they are forty years old. Yes, even your grandfather is not good, it is far worse than when he was young. Think about it, the person surnamed Zong is older than you. When you were young and beautiful, he was already full of belly and a greasy face. You Don't you feel uncomfortable?"

Lu Chang: ".I didn't think so much."

"So, you young people, you should not just look in front of you, but look far. Men, no matter whether they have talent or not, they are rich or not, the most important thing is to be pleasing to the eyes. You said right?"

Lu Chang: "Yes, you're right."

Li Jinxiu stood up and said, "I don't object to this marriage, but you have to think about it yourself. If he becomes bald and fat in the future, you can't dislike him, understand?"

Li Jinxiu felt that the ugly words must be said first. Zong Qi is the cousin of He Dajia, and He Dajia attaches great importance to this cheap cousin. What does this mean? This shows that Zong Qi didn't kick it just by wanting it.

As long as he does not make a principled mistake, he must continue to clean up.

So, she had to hit Lu Chang first, and there was no girl who didn't like pretty. Now Zong Qi is young and handsome, she liked her for a while. If she was not young or handsome in the future, she wouldn't like her and live a mess of life. That won't work.

Li Jinxiu left after saying that, leaving the space for Lu Chang. Think about it carefully. This is a lifelong thing, and you must not be impulsive.

Li Jinxiu walked out of Jinghong Tower and went to find Du Hui. These days, she and Du Hui were preparing for the women's college that the boss said, which was a school that taught women to learn craftsmanship and craftsmanship. For the past two days, she It's just a break from your busy schedule.

Lu Chang sat alone in the room, thinking about what Li Jinxiu had just said, and then remembering Zong Qi. She lay on the table and smiled secretly.

She likes Zong Qi not only because Zong Qi is good-looking, but also his philosophy. She didn't expect that there was someone like her in this world who fits her.

However, Lu Chang is not a person who delays his work because of feelings.

Feng Zhaoyan has been a Jingzhao Yin for ten years. There are not many people who have seen him in the capital, and there are people who have seen him in Jinghong Tower.

As for his concubine, Lu Chang quickly found the origin of the concubine. After only one day, he painted a portrait of the concubine.

For Jinghonglou, this is just a small business, and you may not have any money to get it. After all, no one knows whether Feng Zhaoyan will spend all the money. If he is not a penny, then this business will be in vain. Now.

Therefore, Lu Chang did not take this business seriously. She had several other orders, and each of them made more money than this one.

Jinghonglou took action, and within three days, he found the whereabouts of the concubine.

The sent out people came back and reported the inquiry truthfully, and Lu Chang was shocked.

Although Feng Zhaoyan's concubine's surname is Zhang, she is actually just the adopted daughter of the Zhang family. Her surname is Feng and the same surname as Feng Zhaoyan.

Feng Zhaoyan wanted to take her as her concubine, but because her surname was Feng, Feng Zhaoyan didn't want to be criticized for this, so she got her an identity and asked her to carry her into Feng's mansion as a concubine as the adopted daughter of the Zhang family.

This Aunt Zhang's mother's family is not only surnamed Feng, but also an official.

Her father was a county magistrate. Although she was a concubine daughter, she was born beautiful and learned piano, chess, calligraphy, painting, singing, music and dancing with her sister since she was a child. Let me put it this way, when they were at their parents' home, they followed the standards of favoring concubines. Cultivated.

County Magistrate Feng knew that with his official position, if he wanted his daughters to be the first wife, he could only marry into a small family. If so, he would not have any help to himself and the entire family.

So he took a different approach and wanted to send all his two daughters into the palace.

Not long after, the opportunity came. Emperor Gaozong's talent show, and his eldest daughter Feng Qingqing was selected into the palace and became a talented person.

Emperor Gaozong was full of energy, and Feng Qingqing became pregnant shortly after entering the palace.

The palace was a dragon's and tiger's den. It was less than ten days after the news of Feng Cairen's pregnancy came out, and she had a miscarriage.

Emperor Gaozong was young and there were still children in the future. Besides, there were so many women in the harem, Emperor Gaozong had long forgotten which one was Feng Cairen.

This incident was like a small stone falling into the sea, and it soon became silent.

County Magistrate Feng also had to retire because of his injury.

The Feng family has no official status, and it will be difficult to reach the sky if they want to send their daughter to the palace.

The concubine Feng Jianjian was able to go to the palace to serve the emperor like his sister. His treatment at home plummeted. Soon, his father passed away. Her biological mother was unable to think about hang herself because she offended her legitimate mother. The legitimate mother had long seen Feng Jianjian. I didn't like it. Now that I saw that no one was protecting her, I wanted to marry Feng Jianjian to a poor scholar. It would be better to get the poorer she was, so that she could relieve her years of depression.

Feng Jianjian has been educated since he can remember how to serve men. Now she has let her marry into a poor family, and she doesn't want to be a good wife.

Feng Jianjian ran away. She had an aunt who married in the capital, and she wanted to go to the capital to join her aunt.

She came to the capital and found her aunt. Her uncle worked as a prison officer in the Jingzhao Yamen. Seeing that this niece was beautiful, she had an idea.

So he tried every means to let Feng Jianjian meet Feng Zhaoyan by chance. Feng Zhaoyan fell in love at first sight, so he asked his uncle and his family to accept Feng Jianjian as their adopted daughter, change her surname to Zhang, and join the Feng Mansion as his concubine as his daughter.

Do you still remember Feng Cairen?
