"Old lady, Fu Gongzi has already arrived in the front hall. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info," Chen's mother walked over and said.

"Let's go, go to the antechamber."

"Fu Jingzhi greets the old lady." Seeing the old lady walk in, Fu Jingzhi stood up and was deeply moved.

"Are you respectful?" The old lady stepped forward and said kindly.

"The younger generation is respectful." Fu Jingzhi said respectfully.

"Well, well, it's really talented. When the old marquis and I went back to Huizhou Mansion to worship our ancestors, you were still a three-year-old child. The old lady said.

"Yes. The younger generation once heard his father say that it was the clan lord who named the younger generation, and he did not dare to forget the teachings of the clan lord for many years. Fu Jingzhi said.

"Wow! Good boy! Come and meet your aunts. "The old lady loves Fu Jingzhi very much.

"This is your aunt of the seventh tribe and the aunt of the eighth tribe." The old lady introduced.

"Respectfully meet the aunts of the seven tribes, the aunts of the eight tribes." Fu Jing saluted.

"The eldest daughter-in-law, the second daughter-in-law, this child is the elder brother of the old marquis, the eldest grandson of the Fu family of Huizhou Mansion, and is the same age as Chen'er." The old lady said to Mo Lingyun and Jiang Yingru.

"He is a good boy with a talent, and if he gains fame in the future, his future is limitless." Mo Lingyun praised.

"Sister-in-law is right, on the way to come, I heard Chen's mother praise you for your advance and retreat, and he will definitely be able to do something one day." Jiang Yingru also agreed.

Fu Jingzhi was a little embarrassed to answer again.

"Sit down, respectfully." The old lady said. "What is the matter with you coming to the Hou Mansion? What are the difficulties in the clan? ”

When Fu Jing heard this, a look of sadness suddenly appeared on his face, his knees weakened, and he knelt at the old lady's feet, and actually shed two lines of tears.

"Oops! What's going on! Jiang Yingru exclaimed. This child, what is the difficulty, although to put it simply, the man has gold under his knees, get up quickly! ”

The old lady also said: "Yes, respectfully, get up first." ”

Fu Jingzhi shook his head and said sadly: "The closest relatives died, the bones are gone, as the eldest grandson, but there is nothing to do, Jingzhi doesn't dare to get up!" As he spoke, he began to cry with a low headache.

"Death? There are no bones left! What's going on? Tell me clearly! The old lady was shocked when she heard this, and hurriedly asked.

Mo Lingyun and Jiang Yingru were also stunned by such a big news, and the two of them both stood up and stared at Fu Jingzhi together.

"A few years ago, it snowed heavily for two months in my hometown, and at first it only collapsed a few houses, but then the weather got colder and colder, the roads were blocked by heavy snow, food became scarcer, and people froze and starved to death everywhere. The tribe also lost its population because of this. I thought that the imperial court would send people to relieve the disaster after some time, but the prefect sent four or five post guards out of the city to report the news, but they did not return. Grandfather knew that Huizhou Mansion was the ancestral land of the Fu family, and if something went wrong in Huizhou Mansion, it would have a bad impact on the old lady and the Hou Ye, so he asked the younger generation to bring a few brothers to the capital for help. But along the way, they, all of them, failed to survive......" Fu Jingzhi cried and finished telling the ins and outs of the matter.

The old lady, Mo Lingyun, and Jiang Yingru realized the seriousness of the matter. Huizhou Mansion is the ancestral land of the Fu family, the foundation of the Fu family, if Huizhou Mansion is not guaranteed, they will have no shame to face the ancestors and ancestors.

"Old lady? This ......" Jiang Yingru looked at the old lady, she was a woman and had already run out of ideas. Although she Jiang Yingru didn't care about the affairs of the Fu family at all, such a big event might not necessarily involve anything, if it affected Fu Qinglin and their second room, she couldn't sit idly by.

Where does the old lady have any way? She was born in a merchant family, and her father even became an imperial businessman, but the daughter of a merchant has no great knowledge after all, and she has been locked up in the mansion for decades, so she doesn't know anything outside. After the settlement of the family, she was even more reluctant to go out, how could she know what to do.

Fu Jingzhi leaned on the ground and was sad and painful, and several women looked at each other again, and the scene was chaotic for a while.

At this time, the little maid at the door suddenly reported: "Old lady, Mrs. Hou, second lady, Hou Ye and second master are back!" ”

As soon as the words fell, I saw Fu Qingyan and Fu Qinglin walking in stride, but they both had sad faces.

Entering the front hall, Fu Qingyan and Fu Qinglin respectively saluted the old lady, and then saw Fu Jingzhi on the ground.

"This is the eldest grandson of your uncle of the three clans, Fu Jingzhi." The old lady said.

"My son has already heard from the porter." Fu Qingyan said.

"Respectfully meet the uncle of the seventh clan, the uncle of the eighth clan." Fu Jingzhi knelt on the ground and kowtowed to the two.

"Hurry up." Fu Qingyan said.

Fu Jingzhi got up tremblingly.

"At this time, someone from my hometown is here, I don't know what happened?" Fu Qinglin asked.

"It's something big happening to my hometown!" The old lady said worriedly. "Huizhou Mansion was hit by a snowstorm, and even the population of the clan was damaged a lot."

Fu Qingyan and Fu Qinglin glanced at each other when they heard this, and they knew it in their hearts.

Fu Qingyan sighed and said, "This morning, the emperor urgently summoned me and my second brother into the palace for this purpose. ”

"Oh? The emperor also knew about it? The old lady asked.

"It's the one that was just presented this morning. Most of the official roads from Huizhou to the capital are closed by heavy snow, so it is too late. Fu Qinglin said.

"Then what does the emperor say? Huizhou Mansion is the root of our Fu family, but it can't be broken! The old lady instructed.

"Mother rest assured that the emperor has appointed a special official to investigate this matter, and if the situation is true, he will immediately start disaster relief." Fu Qingyan replied.

"That'll be fine." The old lady was relieved when she heard this. Mo Lingyun, Jiang Yingru and Fu Jingzhi on the side also breathed a sigh of relief.

"It's just," Fu Qinglin said: "The last fold is the Yingquan Mansion near Huizhou Mansion, and the fold accuses the local officials of Huizhou Mansion of disregarding the lives of the people, doing nothing, and conniving at businessmen to hoard and settle strange, natural disasters are small, and man-made disasters are big." ”

"This?" Fu Jingzhi was surprised: "Where does this start?" Yao Zhifu is a rare good official, if he didn't lead everyone in the government to go all out this time, I don't know how many people would freeze to death and starve to death, even my grandfather and his old man were full of praise for Yao Zhifu! ”

"Herein lies the problem." Fu Qingyan said. "Our Fu family started Huizhou Mansion, and now it is a prominent family in the local area, and the magistrate of Huizhou Mansion is naturally regarded as a cronie of our Dingbei Hou Mansion. Now that there is an accident in Huizhou Mansion, I am afraid that the capital will also be implicated. ”

"How so?" The old lady exclaimed. "What does this have to do with us?"

Fu Qinglin said angrily: "I think that the documents of the Ministry of Officials will arrive soon, and the emperor will always have to punish him in order to appease the hearts of the people in the court." As he spoke, he suddenly felt infinite resentment in his heart.
