Being a Lady of an Influential Family: 269, Mid-Autumn Festival
The atmosphere of this year's Mid-Autumn Festival dinner at the Fu family was a bit weird. Compared with last year, there were obviously two more young ladies. Not long ago, the fourth young lady just gave birth to a young lady. It should be a happy event, but the atmosphere seems to be more than last year. Even more embarrassing and dignified.
Mrs. Fu still hasn't been released, and Dujun Fu seems to have made up his mind to treat this person as non-existent in the future.
Although it is said that Mrs. Fu is unwell and needs to rest in bed for a long time, her well-informed confidants naturally know what happened. Therefore, there is nothing ignorant to visit Mrs. Fu recently, or send a message to invite Mrs. Fu to a banquet or something.
People seem to have adapted well to acquiesce that Mrs. Fu is no longer in charge. As for who should be in charge of the Fu family's affairs, there are some different voices.
It stands to reason that the young lady should take over the power, but all the dignitaries in Yongcheng know that the young lady is not interested in this power in the backyard of the Fu family. They are not even interested in the communication between noble ladies. After being married for a few months, many noble ladies in Yongcheng have seen the two-eyed young lady from a distance and know what she looks like, but they have not even spoken at all. .
Mrs. Fourth Young Master has just given birth to a child, and the marriage with Fourth Young Master Fu seems to have gone wrong. Naturally, she has no energy to deal with it.
So people can only focus on the second and third ladies, but this is actually very embarrassing. The husbands of these two have no right to speak, and they naturally have no status in Fu Dujun's eyes.
The so-called communication is not just about eating, drinking, drinking, and going through the motions. If these two can't make decisions or influence even the little things of the Fu family, then what's the point of communicating with them?
I don't know if Governor Fu knows about these things, but it obviously doesn't affect him.
Fu Dujun himself does not believe in his wife's diplomacy. To him, Mrs. Fu has been dispensable except for taking care of the rest of the Fu family.
Could it be that the Fu family really needs the female relatives to come forward for some kind of relationship or inquire about any news?
No need at all.
So even if Mrs. Fu is locked up, as long as someone takes care of the big and small trivial matters of the Fu family's back house and the family, it will be fine. Naturally, there are people who work hard outside to do the business, and there is no need for the female family members in the back house to bother.
This is not to say that Du Jun Fu prefers sons to women and looks down on women, but that he believes that there should be a clear division of labor. If Leng Sa likes to do things by himself, he will go out and do things, if others like to stay at home, he will stay well.
He doesn't despise being pampered at home, but it's certainly not an indispensable role.
The family sat together and had a reunion dinner. Governor Fu always did not do such elegant things as admiring the moon, but this year, perhaps due to some special meals, Governor Fu stayed for a while longer.
Tonight, the Fu's garden was also carefully arranged. Lanterns were hung everywhere in the garden. The breeze was blowing in the air with a faint scent of sweet-scented osmanthus.
The air in this era is still very good. Although Yongcheng is a big city, it is still dark in most places at night. Therefore, the moon in the sky is brighter and quieter, like a silver plate hanging high in the sky.
Everyone in the Fu family sat in the garden, enjoying the moon, eating moon cakes and chatting. It was a rare family gathering.
Fu Dujun sat at the front and spoke coldly to Fu Fengcheng, who was closest to him, and occasionally asked Fu Yingcheng.
It's just that Fu Yingcheng is really afraid of this father. Every time he looks like a mouse sees a cat, it really makes people speechless. The others sat back and talked and laughed. Fu Annie and Fu Anle brought their two little loli and Fu Anyan's son with lanterns in the garden.
Even four concubines were present, but they sat further back.
Leng Sa glanced at the fifth concubine who was chatting with the third concubine. Her belly was only more than a month smaller than Zheng Ying's. Now it looks quite amazing, and she must be about to give birth soon.
Leng Sa didn't care what and when she gave birth, but she still remembered what the fifth concubine suddenly said to her in the garden last time. She originally thought that there would be some action behind her, but she didn't expect the other party to act as if nothing had happened after that. He never took the initiative to find her or said anything, and he kept raising a baby in his yard peacefully.
Aware of her gaze, the fifth concubine turned back and smiled at her. Although he has been a few years old, his eyebrows are still charming and affectionate, and he is worthy of being a famous courtesan.
"What are you looking at?" Fu Fengcheng whispered close to Leng Sa.
Leng Sa slowly retracted his gaze and said, "Nothing."
Fu Fengcheng glanced thoughtfully at the fifth concubine who was sitting in the corner, and stretched out her hand to play with Leng Sa's fingers.
Leng Sa squinted him angrily. Master Leng's hands are priceless. Do you think you're mud and let you pinch and play with them?
"Girl, what's up with your... auto factory?" Du Jun Fu looked at Leng Sa and asked with great interest.
Smiles coldly, "It went well, I didn't expect the Overseer to care so much about my small factory."
Duke Jun said with a smile, "Of course you have to be concerned, don't forget... You still owe us a huge order. If the goods are not up to standard at this time, they will refuse to accept and lose money." The factory has not yet opened. When I got up, I dared to ask him to take the order and collect the deposit. If this thing can't be done, don't blame him for knocking back the face of his son and daughter-in-law.
These days, who is not short of money?
Smiles coldly, "This Overseer can rest assured, the Overseer will definitely feel that his previous decision is very wise."
"Oh? It seems that you are very confident in yourself." Dujun Fu raised his eyebrows and said with a cold smile, "I've been very busy recently, and Fu Yingcheng followed the specific matters. If you don't believe me, ask him?"
Other people's eyes fell on Fu Yingcheng. They all knew that Fu Yingcheng had been working with Leng Sa for a long time. But apart from the second young lady, everyone else only vaguely knew that Leng Sa was now running some of Fu Fengcheng's businesses, and he also opened a car factory, but they didn't know much about how it was done.
Chi Yuanchang was even more excited, as if he had forgotten the previous embarrassment, "Sister-in-law, has the car been successfully produced? Can you give me a discount then?"
Leng Sa pointed at Fu Yingcheng with a smile, "Ask him."
Fu Yingcheng is actually quite an expressive person, but he is habitually stunned in front of Fu Dujun and Fu Fengcheng.
With two people present at the same time, no amount of his expressiveness can be displayed.
Can only answer Chi Yuanchang's question dryly, and report to Du Jun Fu by the way, "Well... two days ago, a car has been off the production line and is being tested. According to the expert specially hired by the factory, All the data are not bad. If it goes well, mass production will be available soon. At that time... I can help to give the third brother-in-law a 10% discount?" He gestured with his eyes, and if you want more discounts, you can only look for it. Sister-in-law.
Leng Sa looked at Fu Yingcheng's honest appearance, and secretly thought back to remind Fu Yingcheng to remember the truth of business. Don't look back and accidentally sell all their trade secrets in front of Du Jun Fu.
There was a moment of silence in the garden, obviously not expecting Leng Sa to actually do it.
It's not difficult for a family like them to open a shop or a factory, but car factories are not among them.
After all, the investment is not big, and the sales volume is not necessarily good. Today, there are not many car factories in Anxia.
Fu Anyan's jealous eyes turned red. She claims to be the third miss of the Fu family. She has always liked to present herself as an independent and capable woman, and naturally she has also done a lot of business.
Unfortunately, most of her business has lost money. Over the past few years, not only has she lost the high dowry that the Fu family gave her, she has even owed a lot of money.
Naturally she dared not tell her husband and in-laws about this. Now that her mother is locked up again, she has nowhere to ask for help. Then I heard that Leng Sa can achieve success easily, how can I feel comfortable in my heart.
Deu Jun Fu was in high spirits, "Oh? So soon? Look back."
Fu Dujun knew where the experts in the Lengsa factory came from. It was his daughter-in-law who attracted them from other places, even research institutes and universities, with high salaries. It is said that there is also a professor who is outstanding in mechanical engineering at Yongcheng University. He glanced at a picture sent by Leng Sa, and voluntarily went to another factory to work part-time as a consultant, and even threatened to do it without money.
This move attracted the envy and jealousy of Governor Fu. To find a top talent, labor and capital have to come to the door with a lot of money to invite them, and they have to provide it like an ancestor. Why is the eldest daughter-in-law so easy to catch people and even Can people take care of their own food and lodging?
Fu Fengcheng leaned over and whispered a few words in Leng Sa's ear. Leng Sa, who was planning to agree, immediately looked at Governor Fu vigilantly.
Duke Fu was speechless and glared at Fu Fengcheng, "What are you saying bad about your father?"
Leng Sa said, "Overseer, there are only samples now, and it takes a lot of time to do safety testing and debugging, so I can't drive you away."
"..." Du Jun Fu glared at his son angrily, with a different attitude towards his daughter-in-law, and waved his hand very eloquently, "Don't listen to this **** to ruin your father's reputation, I'm that kind of person Is it? But... we can agree that things must be supplied to my side first."
Of course, he still has to return it if it doesn't work!
He is the buyer, and the one who spends the money is the uncle!
"It's natural." Leng Sa replied with a smile.
"How is the fourth daughter-in-law recently?" After all, it was a family gathering, and Dujun Fu knew that he couldn't be too fond of one another, and asked Zheng Ying, who was sitting beside Fu Yucheng with a dim face.
Zheng Ying said quickly, "Thank you for your concern, I am all right."
Duke Jun nodded, "That's good, take good care of your body and take good care of your children. If you need anything, just tell... the second and third daughter-in-law, our Fu family is not bad for that. And the fourth, take good care of you. Daughter-in-law and children."
Fu Yucheng felt a little nervous when he remembered what happened today, wondering if his father knew something was beating him, "Yes, father."
"Yes, thank you dad."
Then there is nothing to say.
Duke Fu felt that it was not that he was partial to the eldest son and daughter-in-law, but that he had nothing to say to others.
This kind of rigid one-on-one answer is more annoying than the infighting with those mortals. The son is still like this, and he has nothing to say with his daughter-in-law.
What can he say? Are you talking to your daughter-in-law about how to take care of the children or about clothes and jewelry? He himself doesn't know the former, the latter... Others still think he is an old man.
Therefore, the two eldest sons are just too much for Governor Fu's appetite.
The boss never took himself as a father in his eyes. A few years ago, when Fu Fengcheng was in his early twenties, his temper was even more violent. When they disagreed, the father and son slapped the table and challenged each other. , but it frightened the adjutant beside him.
As for the eldest daughter-in-law, Du Jun Fu felt that sometimes he didn't think she was a daughter-in-law. He can say everything, dare to do everything, and can do it well. The key is that he is not like the boss every day, he is better than his son.
Fu Dujun had even really considered Fu Fengcheng's proposal for a time. If the eldest brother is really not successful, it is also possible to train the eldest daughter-in-law to fill the gap of the grandson's success.
Of course, this is just an idea. After all, it may be more difficult for the entire six southern provinces to serve a girl than to train the fourth child to be a talent.
Deu Jun Fu sat for a while and then withdrew, and as soon as he withdrew other people who had no interest, he also withdrew, such as the fourth concubine and the fifth concubine with a big belly.
Fu Anyan got up and left with a gloomy face, but the children who were having fun with Fu Anyan were not happy. Fu Anyan was in a bad mood and didn't feel good about his son, so he reprimanded his son a few words coldly, causing a child who was originally smiling so much that he burst into tears.
Chi Yuanchang's face was a little ugly, and in the end he could only hold his son and leave with Fu Anyan.
As soon as Fu Anyan left, the atmosphere was much better.
The second young lady couldn't help but said, "If she keeps making trouble like this, the Chi family doesn't know how long they can endure it."
The Chi family is not a servant of the Fu family, and Fu Anyan is not a real princess. After all, the family is also a high-ranking member of the party holding military power, and it is enough to tolerate Fu Anyan in the face of the Fu family and Fu Dujun. If you really trample the face of the Chi family under your feet, the Chi family may not endure it forever.
Leng Sa lazily leaned on Fu Fengcheng's shoulder and said, "Who knows, it seems that there is a lack of social beatings." Can Fu Anyan really beat the Chi family? She doesn't think so.
The Chi family is still uneasy about accommodating you so much. If something happens in the future, the public opinion will all be on the Chi family's side, and even Dujun Fu won't be able to say anything.
Fu Anyan is good, but the Chi family are all weak and incompetent. I don't even think about it. If General Chi is really weak and incompetent, he can let a younger generation run wild at will. He can follow Governor Fu to fight on the battlefield, and can he master so many soldiers and horses to guard one side?
Fu Yucheng couldn't help but glance at Leng Sa, but he didn't speak.
He already knew that Leng Sa didn't like him and Fu Anyan, and naturally he didn't expect her to say anything nice.
"Sister Ming Yue!" Fu Anni ran over and squatted beside Leng Sa and whispered.
Fu Fengcheng glanced at her and said lightly, "My name is sister-in-law."
"Oh, sister-in-law." Fu Anni blinked and looked at Leng Sa, Leng Sa took a small snack from the table and stuffed it into Fu Anni's mouth, smiling, "What's the matter?"
Annie Fu swallowed the snack before she said, "Sister-in-law, shall we go out to play?"
"Going out to play?" Leng Sa was a little surprised.
Annie Fu nodded repeatedly, "Well, there is a temple fair in the city tonight."
"Where?" Leng Sa was also interested.
Annie Fu said: "It's just over Yunlu Street, not far from our house."
Leng Sa nodded, it's really not too far, it's only a few blocks away from Fu's house, it only takes about half an hour to walk there, and it's of course closer to drive there.
Leng Sa rubbed her chin and thought, "It looks good."
"Yes, yes." Fu Anni nodded again and again, "Why don't you go."
Fu Fengcheng said, "I'm going to ask the fifth to take you there."
"..." Fu Anni looked at Fu Fengcheng pitifully. She wanted to go to the temple fair with Sister Mingyue. Who wants to be with a stinky man.
"Uh..." Leng Sa hesitated, in fact, she also wanted to go, and Fu Anni's pitiful appearance also made her very soft-hearted.
Before the words could be said, Fu Fengcheng pinched his fingers, only to hear Fu Fengcheng whisper, "It's the same if Madam wants to go with me." Inexplicably, I could hear a bit of grievance from the words.
Leng Sa immediately remembered that he promised yesterday that he would accompany Fu Fengcheng all day today. Young Master Fu is not happy.
Looking at Fu Fengcheng's handsome face with slightly pursed lips, and then at Fu Annie's expectant face, Master Leng made a painful choice.
Since you are destined to hurt one, then... you can only grieve the one who is not so powerful. That's right, Lord Leng sometimes bullies the soft and fears the hard. Of course, Master Fu's extremely handsome face also has a lethality bonus.
Reach out and touch Fu Annie's face, "I have something to do with your eldest brother. Would you like Fu Yangcheng to accompany you to play?"
"Oh." Although Fu Anni was a little disappointed, she nodded obediently. Big eyes rolled around the two of them, leaned into Leng Sa's ear and whispered, "Then I wish sister Mingyue and eldest brother a happy Mid-Autumn Festival night." After speaking, he stood up and ran over Drag Fu Yangcheng, "Yangyang, Anle, let's go!"
Leng Sa blinked and looked at the back of Fu Anni, who was dragging the awkward Fu Yangcheng with one hand and the well-behaved Fu Anle with the other, and was speechless for a while.
Has this little girl learned something strange recently? Why does she think there is something in her words?
The three children ran away, Fu Fengcheng glanced at everyone and said, "It's almost time, everyone should leave."
Also, it wasn't a close family at first. It was actually quite hard to sit here for most of the night. It's better to go back and do something you want to do.
The second young lady smiled, "We are also going to take the two children out for a walk."
The third young lady looked at Fu Pingcheng and said, "We are too lazy to go out. Let's go back and rest early. Fourth younger brother and sister, you should rest earlier too, your health is important."
Zheng Ying nodded and got up, "Okay, let's go back."
Everyone went back, but Fu Fengcheng and Leng Sa did not go back to the yard but walked towards the door.
Leng Sa was a little puzzled, "Where did you go?"
Fu Fengcheng said, "Don't Madam want to go out to play? Xu Shaoming is waiting outside by car."
Leng Sa blinked, leaned over and looked at Fu Fengcheng with a smile, "You already prepared?" No wonder she refused to go out with Fu Anni.
Fu Fengcheng smiled lightly, "Will Madam go?"
"Go!" Leng Sa said decisively, there is something fun, why not go? And she was also a little curious about how Master Fu planned to arrange this Mid-Autumn Festival.
It was the first time to spend a holiday with a handsome guy, and Master Leng said he was a little excited.
