Chapter 203
Thinking of Fu Zhen's sour look, Fu Junya could easily guess that what the Xu family wanted must be the official position of the eldest uncle!

This point, with father's current ability, can be done naturally.

It's just that you have to spend some money to manage it.

Fu Junya smiled slightly.Her father obviously agreed, but she didn't want the other party to succeed easily.

For one thing, people don't necessarily cherish things that are easily obtained.Second, if the eldest aunt's family takes the lead, then all cats and dogs in father's circle of relatives and friends will want to come to the door, and the Fu family will be unbearable in the future.

She motioned Qiushi to help her take over the exquisite and lovely jade gourd, but she said to Yin, "Mother, my aunt gave me such a good gift, I want to give my new pair of beads to my cousin , do you think so?"

Seeing her daughter winking secretly, Yin Shi didn't understand what it meant, but she still smiled nonchalantly, "Well, that's exactly what I meant, and I just wanted to ask Huan'er for your opinion, I'm afraid you won't want to."

Fu Junya smiled, "Big cousin is such a juicy person, she should be the best accessory. It won't be pretty if I keep it."

Fu Zhen's mother and daughter were secretly surprised when they heard their remarks, wondering what kind of treasure it was that needed to be discussed in such a serious manner.

While talking, the maid Caiyu brought out an exquisite brocade box and handed it to Xu Enzhu.

Xu Enzhuyuan wanted to decline a few words, but as if he had been bewitched, he opened the brocade box very curiously.

What catches the eye is hundreds of malachite beads, the same size and the same texture, lying quietly in the brocade box, emitting a faint blue luster.

Seeing this, not only Xu Enzhu's eyes widened, but even Fu Zhen and Fu Heng were too shocked to speak.

In this dynasty, malachite is a very rare thing.It is precious enough to find one to make a ring or wipe the forehead.But here is a full box!And each one is the size of a finger!
Therefore, holding this box is like holding a whole piece of gold of the same size!
Xu Enzhu stammered, "Auntie, is this really for me?"

Fu Junya smiled, raised her slender hands, picked up the pair of beads, and handed them to Xu Enzhu, seemingly admiring them, "Mother, eldest aunt, look, doesn't this color suit my eldest cousin's skin?"

Fu Zhen nodded sharply.My God, such a beautiful thing has grown to the knees. If it were replaced by fertile land, it would be worth thousands of acres!

Yin Shi also nodded slightly, and said with a smile, "This kind of thing only looks good if you young people wear it."

Xu Enzhu blushed with embarrassment, with some hesitation, "Here, this belongs to the county lord's younger sister. I'm afraid it's not good for me to keep it?"

Haha, it's so easy to get excited?Sure enough, it can't stand the test, and the money is open!
There was a sweet smile on Fu Junya's mouth, "Sister Enzhu, someone specially found this for me, but I am not short of this thing, now that you really like it, I will give it to you, take it Put it on."

She showed a gesture of rewarding the servant, and there was a slight sarcasm in her gentle smile, why couldn't Xu Enzhu see it?But such a precious bead string is too tempting, if she doesn't take it, I'm really sorry for myself!
Fu Heng's thoughtful eyes slowly moved from the excited faces of Fu Zhen's mother and daughter to Fu Junya's smiling face.

He understood what his daughter meant.The daughter wanted to use this string of malachite necklaces to expose the greedy faces of Fu Zhen's mother and daughter, so as to remind him that it would be very dangerous to help the family surnamed Xu to seek official positions.

That's right, the Prince Rui he supports has not yet become the crown prince, let alone enthroned, he has always told himself to keep a low profile and low profile, even when changing the house, he has to look forward and backward. Woolen cloth?

Fu Junya knew that in his father's mind, family affection played an extremely important role.Especially his sister-in-law Fu Zhen, who is more than ten years older than him, took care of him a lot when she was a child, and now that he has developed, he really wants to repay her heavily.This is human nature, she can understand.But in the long run, it cannot be tolerated!
But seeing her father's pensive expression, she knew that this strategy of giving up small profits to protect the overall situation had succeeded.

It's a pity that Fu Zhen's mother and daughter were too happy to notice the change in Fu Heng's complexion.

After casually saying a few more words, Fu Junya reasoned that she was too tired today and went back to rest.Fu Zhen originally wanted to keep Fu Heng to say a few more words, but Fu Heng also said that he was drunk, and we would talk another day, and took Yin Shi back to rest.

Fu Zhen's mother and daughter closed the door of the embroidered building, held the brocade box and looked at it again and again, "It's so beautiful! It's so beautiful!" The mother and daughter were thinking about how much money this pair of beads could be exchanged for, and they were a little dizzy with excitement. .

After smiling for a long while, Xu Enzhu finally thought, "Mother, look at the first aunt and the others who are such expensive gifts, and they don't seem to feel sorry for them at all. How rich is their family now?"

She thought of Fu Junya's appearance just now, the moon-white undercoat and the colorful jacket and skirt, both elegant and gorgeous, the extremely simple yet ingenious attire made her feel ashamed.Especially the rainbow skirt, which was dyed in a gradual dyeing technique. The transition between colors is very ingenious, really like the rainbow in the sky.Even the most famous dyeing workshop in the south of the Yangtze River has never had such a fabric, so it can be seen that it is an imported product!

Looking at her skin again, it may have just been washed when she came here, without any trace of makeup, but it is whiter and more delicate than the best ivory, with a youthful luster like porcelain and jade.I really don't know how much effort she took to maintain it?I also spent countless money on my face, but why do I feel much older than her?

Fu Zhen is also secretly hating Yin Guifen, who is really living and getting younger. She is a half-aged lady, and she can coax brother Heng to be the only concubine. I heard that there is no other concubine except Aunt Luyu. !
Hearing her daughter's jealous words at this time, Fu Zhen couldn't help but sneered, "My good boy, don't look at the frivolous and complacent pair of mother and daughter, but it's not all your uncle's money? Your uncle is now a third-rank senior." Members, those good things must be filial to him from the people below. Or it may be obtained from the Beibei royal family during the war, I don’t know!”

If Fu Heng himself heard this statement, he would definitely admire her sister's imagination.

But Xu Enzhu seemed to have finally found an extremely reasonable explanation for his unbalanced psychology, and hurriedly said, "Yes, yes, it would be great if my father can also be a third- and fourth-rank Beijing official!"

Speaking of her master, Fu Zhen sighed bitterly.Back then, it was all my fault that the Fourth Highness went to the south of the Yangtze River to suppress corruption. Although the master was not suppressed, but the master returned most of the bribes he had accepted in order to protect himself wisely!Since then, the Xu family has been nothing more than an empty shelf...

"Forget it, let's not mention the past. Now with your uncle's help, your father's rank will definitely rise higher and higher. Just get a lucrative job, and within a few years, we will no longer have to I'm being idle!" Fu Zhen imagined it very beautifully.

Xu Enzhu thought, how many more years will it take?At that time, he was already married.It seemed that it would be very difficult to obtain a generous dowry from parents.

Seeing her holding her mouth shut, Fu Zhen guessed her thoughts.He comforted her and said, "Daughter, don't be discouraged. Don't you know what kind of family the Xiao family is? Xiao Jincheng's elder brother, Juncheng, is the richest man in the entire Dasheng Dynasty, the real Tao Zhugong! After you get married, as long as you can firmly hold on to the middle class of the Xiao family, will you worry about not having a good life?!"

"However, there is an old mother in the Xiao family, and there will be a wife in the first house in the future. After I get married, I will only be the second wife. How can it be so easy for me to take charge of the house?" Xu Enzhu said distressedly.She thought about these things over and over again, and every time she thought about it, she was more upset than before.

Fu Zhen couldn't help poking her daughter's forehead with her finger, and said angrily, "You are stupid, Enzhu! I really don't want to say these words clearly. Who would have thought that you haven't figured it out yet! No matter how powerful the old lady Lu of the Xiao family is, Can you live longer than you? I said before that you have to find a way to make her happy, but if you really can't make her happy, then you...!" She showed a treacherous expression and made a "click "The cutting off action made Xu Enzhu startled.

"Then, what about Mrs. Dafang?" Xu Enzhu said with a pale face.

"Hey, Mrs. Dafang, isn't there no shadow yet? Our family urged Xiao Jincheng twice to get married as soon as possible. Look at what he said? His brother Juncheng is not married yet!" Fu Zhen said sullenly .

Xu Enzhu was also very wronged when he heard this section. "Then what should we do? He hasn't even discussed marriage yet. Do we have to wait until he gets married and pays homage before it's our turn?"

Back then, she and Xiao Jincheng got engaged hastily, and her family wanted Xiao Jincheng to marry her after he achieved fame. Three or four years passed in a flash.However, when Xiao Jincheng really achieved fame, and was even more famous than her family imagined, he used various excuses to delay...

This year, she is already 17 years old!How else to wait?
Fu Zhen showed a proud expression on her face, "That's not going to happen! We can't wait anyway!" I heard that Xiao Juncheng is a very picky and cruel person. If he never gets married for the rest of his life, will his daughter and Xiao Jincheng also be married for the rest of their lives? Not married?
The best way is to put aside the worldly views and let Xiao Jincheng, the younger brother, get married before his elder brother!
Of course, as the woman's mother, it's not easy for her to mention this directly.It is best to ask Yin Shi to help convey it.But the most important thing is to rely on her daughter to take the initiative, and she must not let Xiao Jincheng, a slicker, slip out of her hands!
