Chengyu Riverside. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
After the assassination, the garrison of the capital quickly took control of the situation, and the Jingzhao Yin Mansion also sent officials to count the dead and wounded people, waiting for their relatives to claim them.
Fu Qingyan and Fu Zichen gathered all the families in the mansion and searched on both sides of the river for a whole night, but there was no news at all, and the despair in their hearts grew bigger and bigger.
"Master Hou, Shizi, look, there is a boat coming over the river!" A family member pointed to a boat in the Chengyu River and shouted.
"There really is a boat, let's go over and have a look." Fu Qingyan said.
When I came to the trestle bridge by the river, there was a mist on the river in the early morning, and in the mist of smoke, the canopy boat swayed to this side, and I could only vaguely see the vague figure of the person supporting the boat at the bow.
"On board! What a person! Fu Qingyan asked, and the voice reached the ship through the fog.
Fu Yanxi immediately heard her father's voice. After disappearing for a night, my parents and brother must have been dying.
She was about to stand up and walk out, but was stopped by Helian Congyu and said, "It's not docked yet, the boat is unstable, sit down first." ”
Fu Yanxi had to sit down, she didn't want to fall into the water again.
After waiting for a while, he felt that the hull of the ship was hit by something, and Fu Yanxi knew that this was the ship docking.
She was a little anxious about to get out of the boat, when she heard Fu Qingyan ask, "Your Royal Highness, why did you come from downstream before the light of day?" ”
"I took a boat to enjoy the scenery last night, and I forgot the hour, and I hurried back this morning when I heard about the incident in Beijing. I don't know why Dingbeihou is here? Helian replied from Yu.
"This ......" Fu Qingyan hesitated, not knowing whether to say it or not. A girl's family disappeared all night, and spreading the word always damaged Fu Yanxi's reputation. The people who are looking for are all their own people from the Hou Mansion, and they don't chew their tongues, but they are so public, if they tell the truth, won't they hurt their daughter.
Fu Yanxi, who originally wanted to go out directly to meet his father and brother, also thought of this layer, so he didn't get out of the boat for a long time.
Helian Congyu of course knew what Fu Qingyan was hesitating, so he said: "Dingbei Hou doesn't have to worry about it, Miss Fu is auspicious, and she will be able to turn evil into good fortune." As he spoke, he casually glanced at the cabin.
Fu Qingyan heard these words that seemed to have a deep meaning, and he didn't react for a while.
I only heard Helian Congyu say again: "Last night's matter is very important, I can't stay here for a long time, but last night the wind and water were strong, and the board of this ship was a little broken, so it is better to ask Dingbei Hou to help me take a look." Without waiting for Fu Qingyan to answer, he stepped onto the trestle and left without looking back.
Fu Zichen was puzzled on the side, not knowing what kind of medicine was sold in the gourd of the royal prince. Let his father repair his ship? It's also incredible. "Father, he's ......"
Fu Qingyan raised his hand and signaled that Fu Zichen didn't need to say much. Then he instructed the Hou Mansion behind him: "You go and call the garrison of the capital to come, and say that the prince's ship is leaking, find someone to repair it." You all go. ”
The family members looked at each other a little, this prince of the royal prince has a big face, but the boat is leaking, so that the prince can't even look for his daughter. But how can the master's affairs be understood, so they are all ordered to leave.
"Father? What are you? Fu Zichen was also confused.
Fu Qingyan looked around, and when he saw that there was no one around, he said in a deep voice: "Don't come out yet!" The tone was a little angry.
Fu Yanxi only bowed out of the cabin of the awning boat at this time, the clothes on his body were half-dried and sticking to his body, and a man's cloak was still draped outside. This kind of appearance really can't help but make people think elsewhere.
As soon as Fu Qingyan saw Fu Yanxi's appearance come out, his face suddenly became serious, and his pursed lips revealed that he was already very angry in his heart.
"Daddy......" Fu Yanxi called cautiously, with a little timidity, a little grievance and a trace of unnaturalness on her face. Fu Yanxi is a daughter, and she has always been held in the palm of her hand by Fu Qingyan as a baby, and it is rare to see Fu Qing's angry appearance.
"What's going on!" Fu Qingyan said in a deep voice, with irrefutable majesty and inescapable questioning in his tone.
Fu Zichen immediately guessed what was going on, and there was a burst of self-blame in his heart. My sister and Helian Shizi spent the same night together, if Fu Yanxi really encountered any accidents, it was because he was not well protected, how could he explain to his parents, and how could he be worthy of his sister.
Thinking of this, Fu Zichen stepped forward, blocked between Fu Yanxi and Fu Qingyan, and said, "Dad, it's all my fault, if it weren't for me, my sister-in-law wouldn't ...... Father, if you want to blame me, blame me, it's none of my business. ”
Fu Qingyan glanced at Fu Zichen and said, "Although you are saving... It's excusable, but it's true that it's not exempt, I'll talk about you later. ”
Fu Zichen was about to continue, but was interrupted by Fu Yanxi.
"Daddy, brother, I'm sorry." Fu Yanxi went ashore, stood in front of her father and brother, bowed her head and obediently admitted her mistake. "I'm fine, I just fell into the river and was saved by the prince, nothing else."
Fu Qingyan looked at Fu Yanxi deeply. 's own daughter, who understands best, abides by the rules, respects etiquette, and has a tough personality. As for Helian Congyu, his contact over the years has also given him a basic understanding of his character, and he is not a villain who takes advantage of others, so his heart is a little relaxed. But I still can't avoid being angry.
"Do you know how your mother cried when she heard the news! It's only been a few days since the incident a while ago, and this one is making trouble, a girl's house, why don't you let me rest assured! Fu Qing said angrily. After speaking, he felt that his words were serious, so he softened his voice and said, "Go back, don't let people see it, and there will be another incident." ”
As soon as she entered the Hou Mansion, the old lady sent someone to call the three of them to Qingfeng Garden.
As soon as she entered the house, Fu Yanxi saw everyone in the third room of the Hou Mansion sitting neatly, the expression on the old lady's face was serious and depressed, Jiang Yingru's face kept changing the two postures of schadenfreude and pretending to be worried, and Fu Qingshi and An Xin in the third room were still indifferent.
On the right, Mo Lingyun, who was restless, had red and swollen eyes, and there were still tears on his face. As soon as he saw Fu Yanxi coming in, he didn't care about anything else, so he pounced directly.
"Sister, are you okay? Is it hurt? What's uncomfortable? Mo Lingyun carefully inspected this Fu Yanxi's body up and down, left and right, for fear that something wrong with her.
"Ahem," the old lady coughed lightly as a reminder.
But where can Mo Lingyun manage this, he still asks deafly.
"Mother." Fu Yanxi hurriedly took her mother's hand. "Mother, I'm fine, okay."
"It's okay, it's okay. Mother is about to die of worry, why don't you let me worry so much. As soon as Mo Lingyun heard that her daughter was fine, she put her mind at ease, and there was some blame in her tone.
