Regarding Lu Jiuchen's joke, Fu Jinan did not admit it, but he did not deny it either.
But when I heard the sound of "father-in-law", I found that I was not so disgusted, but felt a little comfortable in my heart.
Looking at Lu Jiuchen, the corners of his mouth suddenly twitched and he said casually: "Do you know what the emperor said to me this morning?"
Lu Jiuchen raised alarm bells, put away his playful smile, and said in a tight voice, "What did you say?"
Fu Jinan leisurely picked up the tea cup in his hand, blew it gently, put it under the tip of his nose and smelled it, but he was never in a hurry to speak.
As soon as Changying saw the young prince coming, he kicked everyone out of the room. When he turned around and closed the door, he glanced at the back of the young prince again and couldn't help but sigh in his heart: Every time he faced an adult, the young prince would never be left behind. . But the young prince seems to have a bad memory every time. He turns around and forgets, and continues to provoke adults next time. Why……
After the door closed, Lu Jiuchen stepped forward and snatched away the tea cup, urging: "You should tell me what I said!"
Fu Jinan chuckled lightly and said: "Deputy Commander in Front of the Palace, fourth rank. This is the highest official position I can get for you."
"fart!"
Lu Jiuchen couldn't help but uttered a curse word. He was so anxious that he was running around on the ground, pointing at his nose and saying: "I care about that bullshit official position? Am I afraid of my family? What if he knows that I secretly practice martial arts, and now I do it?" I command everything in front of the palace, believe it or not, if you want to see me tomorrow, you will have to burn paper on the grave!"
In contrast, Fu Jinan looked unusually calm. He poured himself another cup of tea, lowered his eyes and said, "Do you think you can protect yourself like Prince Qing? Eating the emperor's salary means being loyal to the emperor. Even if Prince Qing is a prince. , have you ever thought about how many more generations of Prince Qing’s Mansion can be prosperous one day when the crown prince ascends the throne?”
Lu Jiuchen sighed, sat down opposite him in frustration, and said, "You think I don't understand what you're talking about? If I really didn't understand, why would I have suffered all that with you when I was seven or eight years old? But my father is really afraid Now, look at our Uncle Wangs, which one will end well?"
"your."
Fu Jinan corrected him.
Lu Jiuchen was stunned and waved his hands carelessly: "Okay, okay, my, my uncles, that's it!"
He muttered something in a low voice. Fu Jinan didn't hear it clearly, but he probably knew what it was.
Lu Jiuchen's body softened, and he slumped in the armchair without any image. He closed his eyes and held his forehead and said, "The image of a playboy I have built up over the years has been destroyed by you."
Fu Jinan smiled and said: "You are not young anymore, it is time to start a family. The incense of Prince Qing's Mansion cannot be cut off with you."
Lu Jiuchen suddenly opened his eyes, looked straight at him, and said, "It's really different now that you're a father. He even persuaded me. You'd better think about yourself. Don't wait until the two children can talk." Instead, he calls someone else daddy!"
She gave him a job without her consent. I couldn't bear to swallow it. I had to do it.
Fu Jinan snorted softly: "I want to see who dares."
These two simple words might have sounded like a threat to others, but when they came out of this person's mouth, Lu Jiuchen suddenly felt a chill on his neck.

After the Little New Year is the New Year, the imperial court has sealed the deal, and all the mansions in Beijing are busy with New Year celebrations, and even the air is a bit lively.
Early that morning, just after Luo Ran had finished feeding his two children, Yuan Shuyi came over.
Luo Ran looked at the thin layer of snowflakes falling on her shoulders. He stepped forward to dust them off for her and asked, "Is it snowing outside?"
Yuan Shuyi hurriedly turned aside and said, "I'm cold, so don't come over."
He added: "It was fine when we came out, but now it's snowing. Fortunately it's not heavy."
He took off his cloak and gave it to Chunyu, then stood by the charcoal basin and grilled it. After making sure that he was not cold anymore, he turned around and went into the inner room to see the two children.
Luo Ran nodded. She remembered that in her previous life, it was the same year when she returned to Beijing. It didn't snow a few times throughout the whole winter. It was dry and cold. On the contrary, the rain didn't come until next spring. It just didn't come. It almost didn't come when it came. Most of the capital was flooded.
"Why are you still here when you are so busy?"
Luo Ruxue's marriage was settled, and Li was in a much better mood.
I just don't know what the idea was. It was clearly agreed upon to hand over the middle gift to Yuan Shuyi after the New Year, but in the past few days, he suddenly changed his mind. Either his head hurt or his body was weak. In short, he couldn't deal with the affairs in the house anymore.
There was no other way, Yuan Shuyi had no choice but to take over everything.
Although it was a bit chaotic, luckily Luo Deyun was resting at home recently and could occasionally help her with advice. Even if they couldn't come up with an idea, with the Marquis standing aside, the servants in the mansion wouldn't dare to blatantly refuse to cooperate.
Thinking of the serious man, Yuan Shuyi felt that the cold outside was nothing. While teasing Qing Ning with her rattle, she replied: "Don't worry about things in the house, it's nothing more than money." It’s a matter. Your father said that anything that can be solved with money is not a big deal. I just don’t want to buy a second house so cheaply.”
Although the two of them had only been together for a short time, Luo Ran knew that this mother was not as weak as she seemed. He felt relieved when she said this and said: "If there is anything I can do, please tell me. If you can't help, I can help you with some advice."
Yuan Shuyi smiled evilly: "You are right, I am here today just to ask you to give me some advice."
Luo Ran didn't expect that he just said it casually, but he actually got it right. But he was very happy to help her, so he asked what was going on.
Yuan Shuyi then told the matter. It turned out that it was about the New Year's ceremony. She had no idea about the Shen family.
If the gift is too heavy, the Li family will argue with it; if the gift is light, it will hurt the harmony between the two families.
Luo Ran smiled. She knew that Yuan Shuyi was specifically giving her a chance. Whether it was for her mother's sake or her former cousin's, she should prepare this gift.
He didn't expose it and accepted her kindness: "Don't worry, mother, just follow the usual practice of previous years. I'll take a look at the rest and talk about it later."
Yuan Shuyi said happily: "This is great. When they ask, I will tell you that this is your decision, and I will pretend not to know."
Luo Ran also smiled and nodded: "Okay."
Then Yuan Shuyi took out a thick stack of banknotes from his purse, and before Luo Ran could say anything, he said: "Don't say no! You have helped me so much, I can't really let you use the money. Besides, these Money is your father's private property, and the income at the end of the year is not small!"
Yuan Shuyi deliberately lowered his voice for the last sentence, as if it was a secret that only the two of them knew.
Of course, she really didn't expect that Luo Deyun, who always seemed dignified and unconcerned with worldly affairs, would have so much private property behind his back. Secondly, it was also a good thing to remember Luo Ran. As soon as she entered the house, she handed over all the private property of the big house to her to take care of.
If you don’t have a little bit of mind, no one can do it. You must know how important it is to have money in the back house. Even if you are not favored by your husband, your life will not be too bad.
What's more, the father and daughter are easy to get along with.
Yuan Shuyi has never been so content.
After sending Yuan Shuyi away, Luo Ran glanced at the banknote and said to Youqing, "Put it away."
Anyway, she had made plans. With the dowry left by her mother and the county owner's food, she and her children would not miss food and drink in this life. The money should be saved for future younger brothers and sisters.
