Feng Jin was not taken seriously at home. His eldest brother was the eldest son of the Xi clan, his younger brother was likable, his father was busy with government affairs, and his mother had to manage the household affairs. He was often ignored in the middle. Fortunately, Feng Gui, the eldest brother, was quite reliable, and the relationship between the three brothers was still good.
He had been away from home for several years. He originally wanted to take this opportunity to test the waters, but he didn't expect Feng Gui to stop him with one sentence.
Only talk about family affairs, not business affairs.
This made Feng Jin have to swallow the words that came to his throat again.
Changsheng was a little baby. She didn't know the undercurrent between her father and uncle. She smiled and grabbed Feng Gui's beard and refused to let go.
Feng Gui was a steady and conservative person, but he didn't hesitate to show his expression to his family members.
He held Changsheng's knees firmly with one hand, letting her sit on his arm, and the other hand wrapped around her shoulders to prevent her from falling.
With both hands occupied, there was no way for this little ancestor to spare his beard, which had just grown for a few months.
"This child has a strong hand——"
Feng Gui thought of his two sons and looked at Changsheng with a little envy.
Feng Jin secretly had a headache. This naughty child bullied his old father at home, but why did he bully his uncle when he went out?
"Daddy——"
Feng Jin was a little angry just now, but his daughter's sweet "Daddy" extinguished all his anger.
Feng Gui took Feng Jin and his family of three back to the main house of the Feng family.
The Feng family has been passed down for nearly a thousand years. Anyone with the surname Feng in Shangyang County who went home to look through the family tree would find that their ancestors had blood relations with the Feng family.
For such a prominent and noble family, the ancestral house is quite plain, unlike those nouveau riche outside who are magnificent and golden, but low-key everywhere.
Last year, the earthquake caused the Feng family's ancestral house to collapse a little, but the house was solid, and the wood used to build the house was said to be incorruptible for thousands of years. The earthquake destroyed Shangjing City, but the Feng family's ancestral house only collapsed a few old houses that were rarely used, and only a few people were injured.
"Daddy?"
Changsheng huddled in the arms of his uncle Feng Gui,
Her bright eyes wandered around, and the strange and slightly gloomy and solemn buildings made her uneasy. She was eager to find someone familiar. Seeing Feng Jin was beside her, she rested her chin on Feng Gui's shoulder and looked straight at her father.
"You will see grandpa and grandma in a while, remember to greet them obediently, and don't be rude or make trouble, understand?"
"Grandpa and grandma?" Changsheng tilted his head in confusion.
Feng Jin sighed, secretly regretting in his heart.
When he was this age, he had been taught etiquette by the wet nurse and the maids and old women, and he couldn't be careless or rude.
In aristocratic families, even children of one or two years old must know etiquette and be polite. Age is not a golden ticket to get out of jail for making mistakes or making trouble.
But Changsheng...
Before she was born, she was trapped in Shangjing with the couple. When she was born, there was an earthquake. She was displaced all the way to Xiangyang County to settle down. Feng Jin loved this hard-earned girl very much, and even indulged her.
He didn't teach her the etiquette that should have been taught since childhood.
Now he didn't know if it would work.
Feng Jin was a little worried, fearing that Changsheng would fail at the critical moment.
But he didn't know that although Changsheng was young, her instinct to seek benefits and avoid harm was first-class.
In Jiang Pengji's words, this girl was born with the judgment of a spirit, and her intuition was terrible.
For example, other children were afraid of Jiang Pengji, but Changsheng was particularly close to her. Occasionally, when she came to the Government Affairs Office to play, she accidentally got into trouble. If Jiang Pengji was there, what would be the first reaction of this girl? She would definitely stagger to her and hug her thigh to avoid Feng Jin.
If Jiang Pengji wasn't around, Changsheng would hug someone else's thigh and hide faster than a rabbit.
Such a clever girl, are you afraid that she won't change her mind?
Knowing that Feng Jin had returned, the Feng family's ancestral home was particularly lively today.
However, this kind of liveliness refers to the number of people, not the noise.
The maids and women kept coming and going, but the maids and old women didn't even make any noise when they walked.
Feng Jin entered the main hall, and his parents, who he hadn't seen for many years, were already sitting at the head of the table. He took Wei Jingxian to pay his respects to the two elders.
Changsheng saw it, and kicked his feet to get off the ground. Feng Gui smiled and put her down. She imitated Feng Jin's movements.
However, she was wearing thick clothes and was three heads tall, so it was difficult to keep her balance. As soon as she knelt down to pay her respects, she fell forward.
She rolled twice, probably because it hurt a little, and her eyes quickly became red.
The picture that was originally serious and warm suddenly changed.
Feng Ren couldn't hold back the aura of the head of the family, and Madam Feng asked the maid beside her to bring Changsheng over.
Madam Feng sighed, "Huaiyu and Jingxian's child is so big now..."
She was extremely unwilling to choose Feng Jin and his wife as hostages to go to Shangjing.
When she heard that Wei Jingxian was diagnosed with pregnancy halfway, she was even more worried.
Not to mention that Shangjing was hit by an earthquake later, and the people were in danger of death. Madam Feng was in tears and almost blinded her eyes.
Feng Jin said, "Mother, Changsheng is a little naughty, don't let her make trouble."
Madam Feng took Changsheng, and the child nestled in her arms obediently, and was unbelievably well-behaved.
"The child is naughty, at least it means that he is strong." Madam Feng said without raising her head, teasing Changsheng, "Do you know what to call me?"
Changsheng spoke crisply, slightly puzzled.
"Grandpa?"
Without a reference figure around him, Changsheng couldn't tell the difference between the two.
Feng Jin didn't dare to look up.
Madam Feng couldn't help laughing, pointing at Feng Ren beside him and saying, "This is grandpa."
Changsheng cleverly changed his words and shouted, "Grandma!"
"Oh! Changsheng is so smart."
Madam Feng took off the Buddhist beads that she had worn for more than ten years and put them on Changsheng, with a big smile on her face.
Seeing this action, Feng Jin breathed a sigh of relief, and the first level was passed.
Wei Jingxian knew the importance of this Buddhist beads of her mother-in-law, and she was very satisfied.
Only one person had a slightly sinister look in his eyes, and his hands in his sleeves were tightly clenched, leaving a few nail marks on his palms.
Feng Gui's eyes turned cold, and he secretly pulled his wife to wake her up.
Feng Gui's wife noticed her husband's stern look, shrank slightly, lowered her head, and secretly twisted her fingers and handkerchief.
Feng Jin realized the slightly malicious look, looked over, and frowned slightly.
Is that his sister-in-law?
He had a lot to say, and he waited until Feng Gui and his wife left before he asked.
"Sister-in-law just..."
If it was in the past, he would have tolerated it for his elder brother, but he couldn't tolerate the malicious intent against Changsheng because of a string of Buddhist beads.
Mrs. Feng had a slightly embarrassed look on her face and whispered, "The family is unfortunate."
Feng Jin was surprised. What happened in the past two years that made his mother so unhappy with the sister-in-law who was so satisfied with her?
He vaguely felt that this time going home would not be so smooth.
