Chapter 38 3 (Explanation)
Fu Xin sat beside Mrs. Zhao and watched Mrs. Zhao read the booklet page by page seriously.
She entered the Fuguo Mansion at the age of nine, and this year, at the age of sixteen, in a blink of an eye, seven years have passed.
Fu Xin thought of the panic when he first entered the mansion.
Although in the middle, Mrs. Zhao has also wavered.
But Fu Xin doesn't blame Mrs. Zhao, he can only say that Fu Yue is too good at confusing people.
But since he succeeded her, he has compared her to his own life.
Fu Xin remembered that when she first entered the mansion, Mrs. Zhao's hair was not so white.
Now, on the temples, it is already gray and white.
There are also many more wrinkles at the corners of the eyes than in previous years.
Although Fu Xin has never been in charge of the house, he has lived in the Fu Guogong Mansion for so many years, and he still knows a little bit.
Maybe a few times ago, the Fu Guo Guild was already unable to make ends meet.
Then in the past few years, it was a funeral and a marriage to a daughter.
The silver flowed out.
And the farm on the farm, and the harvest has been in arrears year after year.
There is no money-making auxiliary side in the government's mansion.
Fu Kuan is a master who only knows how to spend money, but does not know how to make money.
The three sons are not very promising.
However, the fourth room is dedicated to reaping benefits, and keeping it as its own private property in the future.
Fu Liang and Aunt Liu's grandmother are also completely just consuming, and they have no half of the contribution.
Mrs. Zhao refused to use the new money and supported the Fu family alone.
The hardships and sadness of it are certainly not enough for outsiders.
Fu Xin felt sorry for Mrs. Zhao on the one hand, but on the other hand, he didn't know how to tell Mrs. Zhao that he wanted chaos in the world.
She was afraid of scaring Mrs. Zhao.
Closing the account book, Mrs. Zhao saw Fu Xinzhi staring at her in a daze, and said with a smile:
"Why did Han Niang come here to look for me? Why do you look at me like this?"
Seeing that Mrs. Zhao was no longer reading the booklet, Fu Xin couldn't help leaning on Mrs. Zhao and said softly:
"No, my daughter is really distressed to see her mother working so hard. Now the eldest brother's illness is also cured, and the sister-in-law is also the wife of the prince. Why didn't my mother let my sister-in-law help my mother and take care of the affairs of the house?"
Mrs. Zhao sighed in her heart.
Where is it that she doesn't want her eldest daughter-in-law Chu to help her take care of the affairs of the house?
The main reason is that the Chu family has been married for so many years, and he has never been in charge of internal affairs, and he was born in a small family, so he can't manage the Fuguo Mansion at all.
Mrs. Zhao also asked the Chu family to try a few times, but each time it ended in failure.
In the end, Mrs. Zhao had no choice, so she had to do it herself.
It's just to let the Chu family assist from the side.
Mrs. Zhao teaches the Chu clan every day, and she has to take up most of her time.
Every time she thought of this, Mrs. Zhao felt even more tired than she managed it herself.
Let's hope they're worried, right?
Fu Xin was silently praying in his heart, but at the same time, he thought, what if it was true?
They didn't prepare in advance and said, if it's true, what will happen then?
Fu Xin pursed his lips and said directly:
"Mother, my daughter has some words and wants to discuss with my mother, but don't think my daughter is crazy. ”
Seeing that Fu Xin said it very solemnly, Mrs. Zhao thought that something was wrong with her, so she hurriedly asked:
"What's the matter? You just tell your mother, what's crazy or not? Let's have two mothers, what secrets are there that can't be done?"
Fu Xin glanced at the girl next to him and said:
"Can my mother send everyone out? If my daughter's words are spoken, I can only say them to my mother alone. ”
Fu Xin has been in the Guogong Mansion for so many years, and he has never made such a request.
Mrs. Zhao immediately became alert, sent all the people in the house out, and asked Mrs. Ding to guard the door. Then asked:
"They're all out, what do you have to say to your mother, right? Did your fourth aunt talk about you again?"
That's all Mrs. Zhao could think of.
Although the Fuguo Mansion is not good now, the head of the family is Mrs. Zhao.
In addition to Mrs. Sun, who sent Fu Wen away, maybe she was not in a good mood, and she carried Mrs. Zhao behind her back to pay her sister Fu Xin's bad luck, Mrs. Zhao really couldn't think of anything else.
In Fu Guogong's mansion, everyone knows Fu Xin's position in Mrs. Zhao's heart, who dares to deal with Xin rude?
Fu Xin shook his head, leaned his head against Mrs. Zhao, and said with some hesitation:
"Mother, Daddy Ding is worried at home, he should also see outsiders, right?"
Mrs. Zhao didn't know why Fu Xin suddenly remembered to say this, so she couldn't help asking:
"Why did you think of asking this? Your father Ding is worried at home, naturally he is a rare foreigner, but your uncle and uncle are really relatives, and they can still see it. What's wrong?"
Fu Xin glanced at Mrs. Zhao and said:
"Didn't Dad tell my mother anything about the court?"
How could it not be said?
Now, the Manchu dynasty, even passers-by, are saying that An Lushan will rebel, but the emperor doesn't believe it.
It's just that Fu Xin doesn't go out, so I haven't heard of it.
Mrs. Zhao looked at Fu Xin and asked:
"Why do you ask this?"
Fu Xin pursed his lips and said directly:
"Mother thinks...... Datang is in a mess, isn't it?"
In fact, Mrs. Zhao didn't know, but she still cheered up and comforted Fu Xindao:
"Did someone tell you something? Don't listen to them, the Tang Dynasty is prosperous and the people are safe, and the peace has been peaceful for a long time, how can you say that there will be chaos? Although it may be said that the border passes may be a little unstable, the layers of barriers will never come to Chang'an. Good daughter stay at ease, Ming'er is filial, you are going to marry Luo Gongzi. It's okay. ”
Fu Xin is not a child now, when Mrs. Zhao said that she was fine, she had no confidence at all, how could Fu Xin not hear it?
After thinking about it, Fu Xin said:
"Mother, what if? What if it's messed up? The Tang Dynasty has been peaceful for a long time, and both civilians and officials have been neglecting military affairs for a long time. The daughter is only afraid that if there is chaos, from the border pass to Chang'an, the officials and people along the way will be swept away. ”
How could Mrs. Zhao not be worried?
It's just that Fu Xin was afraid that he would be afraid, so he forcibly comforted her and comforted himself.
No matter how capable Mrs. Zhao is, she is just a woman in the house, what can she do when the disaster comes?
She only hopes that no matter how chaotic she is, she won't be able to beat Chang'an.
Because there is an emperor in Chang'an, the emperor is always afraid of death.
But it is precisely because of the emperor that the rebels will also direct their troops to Chang'an.
Mrs. Zhao didn't speak.
Fu Xin sat up straight, looked at Mrs. Zhao and said:
"Mother, now we are filial piety and can't move, but do you want to make some preparations in advance?"
When Mrs. Zhao heard this, she was stunned and said:
"How to prepare? This kind of thing can only be said at that time, what to prepare now? How to prepare? If it is not for filial piety, you can go outside and hide. But if it's really messy, where can it be safe? Where to hide, isn't it all the same?"
Saying this, Mrs. Zhao's face was full of worry.
Fu Xin asked:
"What about my uncle? What if my uncle didn't say anything?"
Mrs. Zhao said calmly:
"Your uncle has asked your grandmother to take people with her, and she will set off in the past few days and secretly return to her hometown. It's just that your uncle has an official position, so it's inconvenient to leave. ”
