Chapter Twenty-Three: The Wind Rises

Zhang Bingde ordered him to withdraw, and from time to time he took the eldest brother back. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

The shape of this zhang makes people cold, the upper section is red, the lower section is black, the zhang is seven feet long, thick as a fist, and the paint color on the zhang is still new, I think it should be since the beginning of the custom has not been used much. The hall stared at this Zhang with bated breath, wanting to save Fu Xuan, but he felt that his identity was humble and insignificant.

It was Wang Shi'an who made a voice to break the stagnant air, and turned sideways to Xie Quan and said: "Fu Xuan's body is just better, and forty canes are inevitably too heavy, right?" I know that the family rules of these two mansions cannot be violated, so it is better to wait for Fu Xuan's body to be better, and then make up for these dozens of canes, how about it?"

"Xuan'er ......"

Wang Shi'an's voice did not fall, only to hear a shout outside the hall, like crying and complaining, Aunt Zhao was running towards the hall with a sad face, and Jin Ting followed closely behind her to protect her. Xie Quanzhi knew that the Zhao family's protector was anxious, and he specially ordered her not to let her know about the punishment of Fu Xuan, but he didn't think that he would let Jin Ting slip out and inform her. When everyone saw that the Zhao family was coming, their hearts were finally half on the ground, and they knew that this cane could not be beaten today.

Zhao stepped into the main hall, and simply lost the support of the family's aunt, and fell on Fu Xuan's body, tears fell down, protecting Fu Xuan's body and said in a sorrowful voice: "Xie Quan, why are you so ruthless, these forty rods will kill him...... Today, if you want to beat Fu Xuan, you should first beat the concubine. ”

Jin Ting also knelt beside the two of them and said earnestly: "Father, please forgive my brother." ”

"Concubine Mother...... Get up quickly!" Fu Xuan is also a soft-hearted person, especially when he can't see a woman crying, and it is an elder of this age who intercedes for himself, half regret and half pity, and tears silently wet his clothes.

Xie Quan waved his hand and motioned to the maid to help the two up, Zhao ignored it, still crying and grabbing the ground, as if he had suffered a great grievance as if he had suffered a great grievance from the flying snow in June.

Seeing that the situation could not be controlled, Xie Quan's heart moved slightly, and he said in a depressed voice: "Okay, everyone pleaded for you today, and for the sake of Wang Qing and Zhao's faces, they will suspend their cane." Although the sentence is severe, the punishment is unavoidable, Fu Xuan is not allowed to leave the house for three months from today, is not allowed to drink, is not allowed to be served, and writes 3,000 silently every day, and handed it over to my study for personal inspection. When the body is healed, make up forty rods, and it is indispensable to do so. Xie Quan let out a long breath, got up and walked through the side door of the main hall.

Wang Shi'an also got up together, but bowed down and said: "Fu Xuan, in the future, I should reflect on myself and take it as a warning." Yu Bi also followed Xie Quan's footsteps and left the main hall.

Seeing that the two masters were gone, everyone knew that the turmoil had finally subsided, so they hurriedly greeted Fu Xuan and picked him up, and he was relieved with words of relief. Fu Xuan naturally couldn't listen to it, but he lowered his eyes and was silent, not because Xie Quan made him lose face in front of everyone, but because he knew that he was wrong, when the two mansions were upright and busy, he couldn't help one or two and added trouble to them, which affected Aunt Zhao to come and plead for him. Fu Xuan thought about it, blushing for a while, and guilt filled his heart.

"Okay, it's okay. Zhao wiped his tears and was surrounded by everyone, looking at Fu Xuan with tears in his eyes.

The frightened Qingqing also got up from the ground, came over to help Xuan, and said in a trembling voice: "Brother Xuan, let's go back to the room." ”

Fu Xuan was surrounded by everyone and went back to the bedroom, and another group of people surrounded the Zhao family. Fu Xuan remembered the rule that the old man had just set up - no one was allowed to serve, so he ordered someone to retreat to take care of the concubine.

A group of people dispersed, and Fuxuan's bedroom was instantly quiet. Just sent the crowd away, and before he could breathe, Peach Branch came in with a tray with a carved jade stew cup, but this time Peach Branch changed his previous fierce appearance, and his eyes showed a rare look of embarrassment, and he hid something on his mind at a glance.

Seeing this, Fu Xuan had already guessed eight or nine points, and said with a smile: "Taozhi, I don't blame you for this, you also went to report to the master for my safety, you just did what you should do, it was Brother Xuan who stubbornly ran out of the house, you must not blame yourself!"

Taozhi heard a shock in her heart, the tray trembled slightly as if she couldn't hold it, and Fu Xuan hurriedly helped her take the tray and put it down.

"Childe, I can't stand you! I wanted to confess to Childe in person, but I still asked someone to inform you before me. ”

"No one told me, I guessed it myself. Momozhi's thoughts were all written on her face. Fu Xuan scratched the bridge of Taozhi's delicate nose and said, "Taozhi is not guilty, how can he be guilty?"

"I know that my son is generous, but if I don't tell my lord, my son doesn't need to accept these forty rods. Childe treats Taozhi so well on weekdays, but Taozhi betrayed Childe......" Taozhi's eyes flashed with crystals, as if he was brewing teardrops, and his voice was choked, and he said, "This bird's nest cup was bought by Taozhi with his own monthly money, and it replenishes Childe's body and heart......"

Fu Xuan lightly opened the lid of the cup and took a look, the bird's nest of the best Yan Yuezhai was also rippling in his heart, and said: "This kind of good bird's nest, you only have a few dollars a month, and there is everything in the house, you are so ...... I feel guilty......"

"Childe, just drink it! Taozhi begged, "This old man is really, in the end, he is his own flesh and blood, how can he be so ruthless......

"Taozhi, you are the only one in this mansion who dares to talk about the master. I've heard that, and I don't want to say it again when I get out of this bedroom door. ”

"Okay, it turned out to be you!" Qingqing seemed to be listening to the peach's statement outside the house, and came in angrily and pointed at her sister's nose and said, "I know that you have done a good deed, who in this mansion will invite merit like this?"

Taozhi was angry when he heard this, and slapped his round eyes, hitting Qingqing's cheeks, Qingqing was beaten by this sudden slap and lost his arrogance, and instantly weakened again, turning back into the Qingqing who was afraid of his sister with his head and brain.

"Taozhi! Don't hit people!" Fu Xuan pulled away Taozhi and said in a straight voice, "It's not right to beat people, let alone your own brother, quickly apologize to Qingqing!"

"I'm sorry......" Momozhi muttered with her eyes down. Qingqing covered her face and snorted, trying her best to keep the tears from falling from her eyes.

"In my opinion, the weakest is the nightshade girl. Taozhi snorted, "In the name of a born person, do some things for a person who has entered the world, what cultivator woman would be so ignorant and stay with two Hongchen men?"

"Peach Branch!" Qingqing roared, "You are not allowed to insult Miss Nightshade!" Qingqing's eyes burst into tears, this time it was his turn to hit Peach Branch, but fortunately Fu Xuanyan quickly grabbed his hand.

"Peach Branch. Fu Xuan's tone changed to a solemnity that Taozhi had never heard before, "What you just said, first, it is vicious and insidious, and secondly, it has lost the demeanor of the family, don't say it in the future." ”

"Yes......" Taozhi never thought that Brother Fuxuan, who had always cared for her, would use the name of "family" to suppress her, and she was not wronged. What Fu Xuan meant by her words was that if she said this in the future, she would not be a member of the family, and she would be expelled from Wuyi Lane?

"Your brother and sister are both orphans in the family, and you are each other's only blood relatives in this world, why do you have to speak ill of each other?"

"Yes...... Momoeda knew it was wrong. ”

Qingqing also knew that he was wrong. ”

"From the beginning to the end, I should be held accountable for the wrong thing because I am the one who has done the wrong thing, instead of looking for an excuse to blame it on others. Fu Xuan sighed and said, "You guys go down first, let me be alone for a while." ”

"Childe, I'm sorry, it's upset you again......" Taozhi cried, but Qingqing grabbed her shoulders and pushed her out of the house: "Taozhi go quickly, let's stop bothering Childe!"

Fu Xuan's heart is also like a mess entangled, a series of important things, one by one clueless, just by the old man split his head and covered his face and said, in the past, there was Su Zhi to confide in one or two, at this moment there is not even a person in the house who knows what is going on, I can't help but feel lonely in my heart, and then I think of the concubine mother sacrificing herself for herself, I can't bear it, and I am even more depressed, so I decided to go to the concubine to visit, one to talk about my heart, and the other to comfort myself.

Fu Xuan carried the bird's nest cup sent by the peach branch when she came forward to the back garden Aunt Zhao's house, Aunt Zhao and the former Nankang princess lived in the same house, Nankang princess lived in the main house, Aunt Zhao lived in the partial house, although it was a partial house, but it was also very spacious, and the ornaments were distinguished from the main house Nankang princess in accordance with the etiquette system, and the rest of the daily life was how generous and how to come.

Fu Xuan walked towards Aunt Zhao's side room, passed by the house where her mother used to live, and glanced inside. Through the announcement screen, the furnishings in the main room are the same, and the calligraphy and painting utensils that my mother loves are placed in the former position, everything is as usual and as new, and it makes people feel that Princess Nankang still lives here.

Fu Xuan was glancing, and suddenly heard someone calling his name, and turned his head to see that it was Aunt Zhao's personal maid Lianxin, who was greeting herself by the flowers in the courtyard, and responded: "Sister Lianxin is good." ”

"Come and see your mother?" Princess Nankang's house Aunt Zhao often asks someone to clean it, and it is spotless at the moment, if you want to go in, I will help you get the key. ”

Fu Xuan hurriedly stopped Lianxin's turnaround and said, "I'm here to see Aunt Zhao." My aunt treated me so well, she couldn't sleep at night because of my affairs, and today she rescued me from a crisis, and I should have come to visit her. ”

Lian Xin smiled, took her head down, and led Fu Xuan into the side room, bypassing the main hall, and went straight to Aunt Zhao's bedroom.

When Fu Xuan came in, Aunt Zhao was leaning on the soft collapse of the brocade with her eyes closed, fiddling with the rosary in her hand like a Buddha.

"Concubine. Fu Xuan leaned in and called softly.

Aunt Zhao was startled, suddenly opened her eyes, and saw that it was Fu Xuan coming, a smile bloomed on her face, and she hurriedly beckoned Fu Xuan to sit beside her. Aunt Zhao is not very old, only in her early thirties, and she is not very moisturized in the life of a noble family, so she does not feel that she is more than thirty years old from the point of view of her appearance, and she is still a delicate and beautiful appearance, although she has a beautiful face, but Aunt Zhao's temperament is not charming at all, since the incident of Princess Nankang, she is even more innocent, practicing Buddha, no major event is not discharged, and she only walks around in the garden nearby.

Fu Xuan handed over the bird's nest cup, and Lianxin took it familiarly and put it on the table next to him.

"Let the concubine take a good look at you, my Xuan'er has grown so big!" Aunt Zhao held Fu Xuan's face, and saw the faint scar on her arm, and stroked her with her hand, feeling pity.

"The injury is already so good, I have to worry about my concubine day and night, Fu Xuan is really sorry!"

"It's hard for you to bear this great difficulty for the Xie family. There is a way that if you don't die, there will be blessings, and my Xuan'er will be a pillar of the country like my lord in the future. ”

"My father looked up to the mountains, and Fu Xuan didn't dare to make a mistake. ”

Aunt Zhao smiled and said: "Silly child, who is not stubborn from childhood, don't look at your father's calm appearance at the moment, he was very similar to you when he was young, the same temperament, he worked hard for friendship, and then he was smoothed out by the world." ”

Fu Xuan also smiled and said, "The concubine said she was laughing." The offense to the house rules was Fu Xuan's mistake, Fu Xuan knew that he was wrong, and he would never do it again, but Concubine Lao's mother broke into the hall for Fu Xuan and lost her identity, Fu Xuan ...... "Fu Xuan said that he would retreat and collapse, and made a big bow in front of Aunt Zhao's knees.

Seeing this, Aunt Zhao hurriedly got up to greet her, and said indifferently: "It's okay if you're fine." At this moment, I think again, even if I don't go today, there is a king who will protect you, after all, forty sticks will go down...... The master still knows how to measure. It's just that at that time, I was in a hurry and messed up, so I made this indecent act. ”

Fu Xuan was sad when he heard this, and he didn't know what to say for a while. Aunt Zhao knew that he was blaming himself again, so she was relieved: "You don't have to feel guilty, the matter has passed, it should all be God's will, everything, the master may have his own plans." I heard that yesterday you left Wuyi Lane with your front foot, and the master of your back foot sent elite cronies to follow your carriage, and last night those cronies surrounded Kwai Ling Pavilion and secretly protected you all night. The old man knows everything, maybe today's hall and family trial also have his unique intentions, so we don't have to speculate. ”

Aunt Zhao finished speaking, but Fu Xuan calmed down like a lost soul, he only said that he was delicate, but he didn't want his father to be more skilled, no wonder all kinds of unusual things were on the way back yesterday, it was all in the hands of his father, and he was out of the gods, but he heard a servant outside the door to report that he wanted to find Fu Xuan. Lianxin opened the curtain and helped go out to inquire, and finally took back an empty envelope with a signature and handed it to Fu Xuan.

Aunt Zhao is also a person with clear eyebrows and smart eyes, so she said: "Fu Xuan came to see me today, the concubine is very happy, the sky is also dark this time, you go back first, I will continue to worship the Buddha." ”

Fu Xuan looked down at the letter, and also understood the intention of Aunt Zhao's words, respectfully said goodbye to the concubine and went back to his bedroom.
