Chapter 66: Hou Ye is tempted, and he first meets his life experience
Not Fu Rongyue?
Fu Xingjian immediately became strange. He really couldn't figure out who else was suspicious, could it be Fu Rongqin? But Qin'er would never come over at such a time, and since he came, he would never eavesdrop outside!
Wei Mingyu couldn't help but be disappointed, but he wouldn't say anything in front of Fu Xingjian. just nodded: "Since it's in the Zhongsu Marquis Mansion, I don't have to worry about it, the Hou Ye will do it." It's not early, I should go back, if it's too late, it will inevitably meet Ji Chengjun with curfew, and it will be a lot of trouble to explain. ”
Fu Xingjian personally sent him to the door, and saw Wei Mingyu's carriage disappear before returning to the backyard, he was not worried about Fu Rongyue after all, so he went to Xiaoxiang Courtyard in person, and after a little groaning, he stayed at the gate of the courtyard for a while, waiting for the girl on duty at night to find him.
The girl on duty today is Lu Qiao, she quickly found Fu Xingjian, trotted forward and asked, "Master Hou, it's so late, but is there something wrong?"
"Second Miss went to bed so early today?" Fu Xingjian said in a low voice.
Lu Qiao pursed her lips and smiled: "Yes, Miss went shopping with her wife in the afternoon, most of them were tired, and they fell asleep as soon as they came back. As she spoke, she pointed to the side room of Xiaoxiang Courtyard: "The slave maid is reconciling accounts with Sister Luluo and Aunt Shen, Master Hou came over late at night, is there something important, but do you want to wake up Miss?"
Fu Xingjian nodded, and Lu Qiao hurriedly led him to the main hall of Xiaoxiang Courtyard, and went to the boudoir to call Fu Rongyue to get up.
After a while, Fu Rongyue went down to the attic with sleepy eyes, and said unhappily while rubbing her eyes: "Master Hou, what time is this......
She didn't have much time in the Hou Mansion, although she learned the rules well, but she was not particularly respectful to Fu Xingjian, fortunately, Fu Xingjian's mind was not here at this time, seeing that she was really sleepy, obviously she had just gotten up, so the person outside the flower hall just now was definitely not Fu Rongyue, but her mind relaxed, and she didn't care much about her, but asked: "I went out in a hurry today, and some things were not thought through." You're about to arrive, and you have a lot of things to buy, and you still have enough money on you?"
"Enough. Thank you Hou Ye for remembering!" Fu Rongyue smiled a little, looked at the room, and ordered: "Lu Qiao, make some tea." ”
"No need, I'm just coming over and taking a break. Fu Xingjian said, reached into his arms and took out a few silver tickets and put them on the table, and stood up: "You should go to bed early." ”
There was a crack in the smile on Fu Rongyue's face, and her cold eyes also showed a little emotion, so she didn't say anything more, and personally sent Fu Xingjian out of Xiaoxiang Courtyard.
Fu Xingjian took in all her expressions, and felt a little confused in his heart, under the moonlight, the birthmark on Fu Rongyue's face dimmed a lot, and it looked more and more similar to the old man. This Hou Ye with an extraordinary status looked even more trance-like, and there was a place in his heart that was suddenly soft, and he almost couldn't help but want to reach out and stroke Fu Rongyue's hair, but before his hand was raised, he had already pressed it down.
He closed his eyes, and the past came back to him in an instant......
"Master Hou, you are the incomparably noble Lord Hou, and there are already people around you who you admire, so let Su Juan leave!"
She knelt on the cold ground, resting her head heavily on the ground, her black hair fell all over the ground, and she didn't even bother to coil her hair up, as if she had returned to peace, and her tone was calm and inaudible to her true emotions.
He stood firmly on the steps, and when he heard the news, he didn't know how to react for a while, and it took a long time to squeeze out a sentence from between his teeth: "Do you want me to let you go, do you want to reunite with his family?"
"Yes. She raised her head, pulled the corners of her mouth slightly, and showed an indifferent smile: "Since Hou Ye has reconciled with me, where Su Juan will go after leaving, I don't have to worry about Hou Ye." ”
Fu Xingjian's memory was suddenly frozen on Su Juan's pretty face, with a haggard face and a gentle smile, which became a nightmare that tortured him after many years. His heart suddenly hardened again, and Fu Xingjian secretly reminded himself that the person in front of him was Su Juan's daughter, the child left by that ruthless woman!
It also depends on whose blood and bones it is, now for him, this girl only has use value, and must not invest the slightest emotion!
Fu Xingjian didn't say anything more, nodded and went straight home.
Fu Rongyue looked at Fu Xingjian's back, her eyes were as calm as water, and she was as smart as her, she had already discovered Fu Xingjian's hesitation just now, and her heart was even more strange, so she didn't say much, turned around and returned to her room, only to find that she had clenched her fists at some point.
After a long time, she breathed a long sigh of relief, today's matter was her carelessness, fortunately, Fu Xingjian was finally perfunctory just now.
Her eyes fell on the makeup bride, where there was a silver bracelet that Su Juan bought for her at the bazaar at the beginning of spring this year, with a blessing engraved on it: "Smart and wise, blessed and unmatched."
Fengxi Village is quite far away from the town, Fengxi villagers have lived a self-sufficient life for generations, after Su Juan arrived here, he also learned to weave with the villagers, and there is no shortage of daily necessities, the mother and daughter generally do not enter the city without any major events, the last time she entered the city, Su Juan thought that she was about to catch the fire, and took her to buy some things to be used in the ceremony, and then entered the city with the ox cart of Zhanda Niu's family. She took a fancy to this bracelet at a glance, Su Juan wanted to buy it, but unfortunately the silver was not enough, and in the end, she had to help make up some of it, so she finally brought it back.
Now the bracelet is still there, but Su Juan has turned into dirt, which inevitably makes Fu Rongyue's heart sad.
Recently, when the ceremony was approaching, she occasionally thought of her mother in her heart, and in the dead of night, she took out some of Su Juan's relics from the bracelet to remember.
Speaking of which, Su Juan didn't leave for a long time, but for Fu Rongyue, it felt like many years had passed......
Thinking of Su Xuan, she knelt down in the direction of Fengxi Village, solemnly kowtowed a few heads, and lowered her voice: "Mother, don't worry, Yue'er is doing well now, and she will never let anyone bully Yue'er's head." Waiting for Yue'er to take revenge, Yue'er must move her mother back to Kyoto, Yue'er knows that her mother has been away from Beijing for so many years, in fact, she has always wanted to come back here, but for some other reasons, so that her mother can't come back. ”
Speaking of this, Fu Rongyue paused, and a fluttering thing passed through her heart, and she grabbed it.
Fu Rongyue stood up and put all Su Juan's relics back into the bracelet, and had already made up her mind in her heart, tomorrow, just tomorrow, she must ask something from Aunt Cheng's mouth.
Because of something in her heart, Fu Rongyue couldn't sleep that night anyway, and got up early the next day, so she was busy going to Ruyi Building to ask for peace.
Aunt Cheng just got up, and when she saw that she came earlier than Fu Qing and Fu Rongmin, she couldn't help but be slightly surprised: "Yue'er, came so early today?"
"Aunt Cheng, there is one thing that has been in my heart for a long time. Fu Rongyue blessed her body, carefully considered the wording, and then said in a low voice: "This matter is very important to Rong Yue, I wonder if Aunt Cheng can tell Rong Yue truthfully?"
"What's the matter?" Seeing that she said solemnly, Aunt Cheng shielded the left and right, leaving only the trustworthy big girl to guard the door.
Fu Rongyue said: "I want to know all the things about my mother and Hou Ye." ”
"Why do you suddenly ask this?" Aunt Cheng was taken aback.
But surprised to be surprised, the daughter wants to know some things about her mother, which is normal in Aunt Cheng's eyes, she just sighed, and then fell into the deep memories, and slowly told Fu Rongyue about the past.
"I have known your mother since I was a child, and our two mansions are connected by only a courtyard wall, and your mother has been my playmate and best friend since I was a child......"
Aunt Cheng's maiden name is Cheng Ronghua, and she is the daughter of Cheng Zhizhong, a waiter in the Ministry of Rites; Su Juan's father is Su Yongtu, a scholar of the University Pavilion, the two elders have similar interests, and the juniors are naturally friendly, and they can get along with almost anything, the two grew up together, and naturally they can share any secrets.
That year, the warbler **** was long, it was a good time in the south of the Yangtze River, although Kyoto was not as good as the south of the Yangtze River, it was also a good time for the spring flowers to bloom.
Cheng Ronghua and Su Juan made an appointment to go to Guangyun Temple to ask for a hexagram, that afternoon, the weather changed abruptly, and the two were trapped in the pavilion in the mountains, just when the rain was pouring down, the two met Fu Xingjian for the first time.
The Marquis of Zhongsu started as a businessman and became famous in the army, and the children of the Fu family also rolled in the military camp since they were children, and their military achievements were impressive. Fu Xingjian is just a young man, and he has made a lot of contributions, he stays in the barracks all the year round, and he is not familiar with these ladies in Beijing, and when he sheltered from the rain in the pavilion, he did not recognize Su Juan and Cheng Ronghualai. It's just that Su Juan's beauty is famous, Fu Xingjian can't help but look at it twice, and he, the prince of the Marquis of Zhongsu was also a handsome son back then, with a handsome appearance, and a military demeanor different from that of the children of Kyoto, like a Zhilan jade tree, which is particularly eye-catching, and of course it also attracted the attention of the two young ladies.
The three of them didn't have much to say, but the storm came suddenly, and the pavilion was simple, so naturally it couldn't completely shelter from the wind and rain. The spring clothes are thin, and they stick to the body as soon as they are drenched in the rain, not to mention the embarrassment, but also the cold through the bones.
Cheng Ronghua's body has always been weaker, Su Juan was afraid that she would be sick, so she took off the thin cloak and gave it to her, even if a girl helped cover it, she was drenched.
Fu Xingjian, who turned his back and didn't look at the two of them, seemed to have eyes on his back, turned his body slightly, and the tall man blocked behind Su Juan and Cheng Ronghua, still with his back to her, but took off his cloak and said lightly: "The spring rain is cold, girl, please don't shirk." ”
When the wind and rain stopped, when Fu Xingjian left soaking wet, a pair of warm eyes watched him go down the mountain.
After returning home, Su Juan asked him in many ways, but he didn't expect that soon after, the two met again.
Su Juan was molested by a short-sighted ruffian in a remote market, and Fu Xingjian happened to pass by and rescued her and sent her back to Su's house. Su Juan has a good family education, gentle and intelligent, and it is very pleasant to talk to her, Fu Xingjian's army is stumbling, and in the face of such a delicate woman, he quickly fell.
