Chapter 229: The Son of Heaven Dies
Fang Jin assumed in his heart every day that if he hadn't written that piece of music at the beginning, it would be great for his family to enjoy the glory and wealth intermittently, and the key was to have a good citizen's identity.
However, he is often grateful to the former emperor for his kindness in his heart, and he really can't watch the first emperor create a foundation and let the Liu family turn over the clouds and rain there, pity the emperor, and he can't get married when he reaches the age, just to prevent him from being in power.
Fang Jin got into the horns of the dead cow. Every day, he had to struggle in his heart, thinking that he was doing the right thing for a while, but when he turned around and saw that his wife and children were tired all day but couldn't see the future, and blamed himself for not thinking about it at that time, he was almost driven crazy by himself.
If it weren't for the strict supervision during the daytime, and his wife and children watching him at home, he would have been unable to stand it and seek death.
Qiu Ruyi also heard An Shicheng mention this festival, so there is this talk today.
Looking at Fang Yun's expression now, Qiu Ruyi also knew that his words were not convincing, and continued to persuade with all his brains: "Today's saint is a Ming monarch, but because he is young and slightly weaker, the queen mother and the Liu family are in charge of the government. Just wait for next spring, when he is well and has an heir, he will be able to pro-government, and he will be able to fulfill Lord Fang's wishes, and give your family an explanation, that is, you can't let Lord Fang return to his original position, and it is always okay to become a good citizen if you want to. ”
Fang Yun smiled: "You have a heart." I will persuade my father that only when people live can they have hope, and when they die, there is nothing. ”
At this time, I heard Aunt Zeng coughing outside, Fang Yun glanced at the sky outside, and said goodbye: "It's not too early, I should leave too." You don't have to worry, it's lucky to be sent here, listen to my mother, when we first came, the prince of Yongping County took care of it, although it was not obvious on the surface, but we knew it. Now although he is not in the north, he has not suffered any grievances, and he can always retain some dignity. ”
Qiu Ruyi took Fang Yun's hand, and wanted to stay, Fang Yun shirked and said: "You and I are now different from cloud and mud, just to thank you in person, I stepped on the noble land." It's not supposed to be, no matter how much I stay, I'm afraid that it will be difficult for Yang Zongqi to do, so it's better to go separately. ”
Qiu Ruyi had no choice but to let her go, but asked again: "...... Mr. Yang?"
"Without him, it's just sympathy. Fang Yun gave a salute indifferently, then turned his head again, and went with Aunt Zeng.
Qiu Ruyi looked at the figure that disappeared into the night, sighed a few words, and knew that her family was quite passable, and her heart was really much more relaxed.
Winter in the Northland comes very early and is also very cold. Qiu Ruyi has a deep understanding of the meaning of "dripping water into ice", and feels that when he breathes outside, he can watch this breath turn into ice and fall to the ground.
Qiu Ruyi intends to be proud of his strong body, but at this time he can't do it, fortunately, the charcoal fire is sufficient, Qiu Ruyi burns the charcoal in the house every day, if it is not necessary, he will never go out, and he will be wrapped into a zongzi when he goes out.
Qiu Ruyi thought of the shabby clothes on Fang Yun's body that day, and couldn't help but worry about her.
It's just that it's not good for her to send things over directly, the Fang family is guilty in the end, An Shicheng is not an ordinary officer, there is a Guogong Mansion and the Beiping Marquis Mansion behind her, so you have to pay extra attention to doing things.
Fortunately, on this day, she found an opportunity to call Aunt Zeng over, since Aunt Zeng served Yang Huaiqing and brought Fang Yun over, she could still be trusted.
Aunt Zeng looked at the cloth in front of her, it was obvious that it had been carefully selected, but it was not eye-catching, but it was really a good cloth for keeping warm and cold, and sighed: "Mrs. An's kindness, the slave maid has taken care of the Fang family's sister." It's just that this cloth, the slaves and maids can't use it, and the Fang family can't use it, which is good for her and you. ”
Qiu Ruyi was gloomy, and Aunt Zeng smiled and comforted: "Mrs. An don't worry, the military masters here are all good-hearted, although the slaves and maids can't wear good clothes, there are rules here, and they won't be frozen." ”
Although the clothes and cloth could not be sent, I had some contact with Aunt Zeng, and I was able to say a few words to pass the time.
It turned out that this aunt Zeng was originally the nurse of Yang Huaiqing's sister, when the Yang family was convicted, Yang Huaiqing's father was beheaded, and the rest of the people were all beaten into the lowly status, the men were filled with the army, and the women were sold.
Aunt Zeng was sold many times, and when she came to the north, she met Yang Huaiqing, "I only pity my young lady, and I don't live anywhere now, and what kind of life she lives." ”
Aunt Zeng couldn't cry, Qiu Ruyi also understood Yang Huaiqing's "pity and cherishing jade" for Fang Yun and the girl in the red tent, maybe it was based on sympathy for the same disease, and he didn't necessarily think that he did good things here, and his sister could also be protected by someone like him, so as not to fall into mourning.
Fortunately, Aunt Zeng also knew how to be measured, wiped her tears and pleaded with Qiu Ruyi for a while, and said some interesting words to make Qiu Ruyi happy.
On this afternoon, An Shicheng rarely came back.
He has been away from home for almost a month, and Qiu Ruyi put everything down and only concentrated on accompanying An Shicheng.
An Shicheng lived for more than ten days, and the husband and wife did not go out every day, only around the stove, An Shicheng read a book, Qiu Ruyi was doing needlework on the side, occasionally laughing a few words, and they were happy.
No, as the wax moon approaches, An Shicheng is leaving again, and he will not come back this year.
An Shicheng wanted to send Qiu Ruyi back to the city.
Qiu Ruyi said angrily: "What am I going to do when I go back alone." Liu Juan and his wife are reunited, what is my pestle there, it is better to be here, anyway, those wives are also celebrating the New Year alone, but there is something to say. ”
An Shicheng sighed. Earlier, he explained the reason: "It was newly received from Beidi, everything had to be rebuilt, and it was a very critical place, just like the gateway of ordinary people, there were two doors, but there was no courtyard wall, how to prevent villains." The order was issued: it must be repaired in the spring of next year, otherwise if there is a disturbance in Beidi next year, it will be a weak point. Now that the weather is freezing and it is becoming more and more difficult, the hard labor and the soldiers are suffering inhumanely, and we, as officials, should be even more responsible, and we will not be able to come back for the New Year. ”
Qiu Ruyi also knew that the military order was like a mountain, and after venting, he still had to send An Shicheng away with a smile.
During the Chinese New Year, An Shicheng and others did not come back, Qiu Ruyi spent a year miserably, but fortunately, after the Lantern Festival, An Shicheng came back.
It turned out that this winter was extremely cold, and after the New Year, it snowed heavily for several days, and I really couldn't work, so I had to agree to everyone to throw it back.
Before the New Year, Qiu Ruyi finally had a good mood for the New Year, and woke up from his sleep every day with a smile.
Seeing that her husband and wife were tired of being together, Fan's mother and Wu's mother were also overjoyed, the last time An Shicheng was at home catching up with Qiu Ruyi's small days, and now it is a good time.
After a few days, the snow finally stopped, and the sun shone again.
Qiu Ruyi got up early in the morning and saw the sunshine, his heart was excited, and he didn't care about the cold, so he pulled An Shicheng to the courtyard.
At this time, the golden bell rang outside, and An Shicheng and Qiu Ruyi froze.
One time, one time, like a knock on a person's heart, a full twenty-seven times!
The Son of Heaven is gone!
