Chapter 10 My journey is the sea of stars
Murong Fu is a man with martial arts, he wants to travel, but he doesn't have much to do for him, and the only thing that needs to be considered is the person who will accompany him on the trip. According to Deng Baichuan's meaning, the prince first came out of the rivers and lakes, and the four of them should accompany him. In addition to saddle up all the way, what is more important is to introduce the heroes with faces in the rivers and lakes for the prince, and recruit talents for the great cause of recovering the country. Murong Fu, on the other hand, obviously had a different idea.
"This trip is just to increase my knowledge and broaden my horizons, but in comparison, it is the family's business that needs to be more troublesome." It was August when the golden osmanthus was fragrant, and Murong Fu stood by the window with his hands, like a painting. I saw him ponder for a moment, and finally made up his mind and said softly, "When I am not there, the business matters will be handed over to Brother Deng and the second brother of Gongye, and let the third brother Bao and the fourth brother Feng."
When Murong Fu mentioned the matter of trading, Deng Baichuan immediately froze and hurriedly bowed his head and agreed. "That's what Childe said." He turned to Bao Wei and the two of them, "Third brother and fourth brother, the safety of the prince will be entrusted to you." ”
Bao is different from the turmoil and the evil is also a matter of importance, and at the same time he got up and took the order.
Sister-in-law Deng, as a woman, is obviously more detailed. "Although the prince is away from home, he also needs to be taken care of in his daily life, Azhu and Abi ......"
Before Sister-in-law Deng finished speaking, Ah Zhu and Ah Bi pounced together, pulling Murong Fu's sleeve and saying in unison: "Son, take me there!" Take me there! ”
The two girls were so attached to him, Murong Fu couldn't help but smile slightly. It's just that he understands better that with the current level of science and technology, it is really hard for these two young children who don't know martial arts to travel. "In the past few days, let Brother Deng invite a master to come, and you will stay at home to study. When I get back, I'll test your homework. Seeing the two girls pursed their lips and their eyes were slightly red, he bent down and wiped the foreheads of the two girls and added another sentence. If it's fast, it's a few months, and if it's slow, it's a year, and the prince will come back. ”
Ah Zhu and Ah Bi have been with Murong Fu for a long time, and they know Murong Fu well, although he is mild-mannered, he always acts the same. Since Murong Fu had already reached a conclusion on this matter, they knew that there was no way to change it, so they had to say with tears in their eyes: "Gongye must come back early!" ”
Murong Fu remembered that one was one play, and the direct teaching Deng Baichuan was like a zhang and two King Kong were confused. As soon as the two girls left, he couldn't wait to ask, "The prince wants to invite a master for the two girls of Azhu and Abi?" ”
"Exactly." Murong Fu picked up the tea bowl and took a sip and replied, "Azhu Abi is growing up, it's time to ask the master to be enlightened." Tomorrow, Brother Deng will take my name card to visit Zhang Juren in the south of the city, Mr. Zhang is erudite and talented, and he is suitable for teaching two girls. ”
Bao Wei has been in the city for business over the years, and the news is far more well-informed than Murong Fu, so he naturally knows that although this Zhang Juren has tried and failed, the students who can be taught are all good and prosperous, and inviting him to teach the two girls is obviously a luxury configuration. Thinking of this, he couldn't help but muttered in a low voice: "It's just two little girls pouring tea and handing water......
Murong Fu didn't make a sound, he just lowered his eyes and looked at the tea bowl in his hand, his eyebrows raised slightly, as if he had provoked thousands of waves in his heart and gradually recovered to the level, and replied warmly: "Third Brother Bao, Azhu Abi has been by my side since I was a child, although I am a master and servant, but in my heart I am no different from my own sister. ”
Murong Fu said this, and Bao Wei didn't have anything to say, so he had to retreat stupidly. But Gongye Qian wanted to pretend to be smart, and his expression changed, as if he had realized some subtlety, and he smiled and persuaded the package: "Third brother, you are a blind eye and can't see Mount Tai." The two girls have been taught, and they will be of great use! ”
As soon as Gongye Qian's words came out, everyone looked thoughtful, and after a while, they exchanged a knowing look with each other, and laughed meaningfully.
Who knew that Fang Cai Bao was different from Murong Fu, and he still didn't care. But now that the four ministers are doing this, he is already furious. Murong Fu regarded Azhu and Abi as his own daughters, and naturally he was not happy that the four ministers would give them away as goods for the sake of the illusory cause of recovering the country. I saw him put down the tea bowl heavily, and said in a deep voice: "What will happen to the two girls in the future, I am in charge, and you brothers don't have to bother!" With that, he got up and walked away.
After settling the affairs of the family, Murong Fu still had to visit Mrs. Wang before leaving and bid farewell to the only surviving elder. A year ago, Wangjiazhuang, which is 19 waterways away from Yanziwu, was officially renamed Mantuo Villa, and the village was full of all kinds of camellias, and there were no other flowers at all. Murong Fu Shouxiao stepped into Wangjiazhuang again after three years of filial piety, only to feel that his uncle's family had already undergone earth-shaking changes along the way, and he could no longer see the slightest shadow of the former master surnamed Wang. He doesn't understand flowers, and he can't say why these camellias are good or not, but thinking that Li Qingluo is acting like this, it is obviously an unforgettable love for Duan Zhengchun, and he can't help but sigh for his cheap uncle under Jiuquan. It turns out that a woman can be so affectionate, and she can be so cold.
Murong Fu and Li Qingluo were estranged, and they had seen this aunt in a family ceremony, and showed her that she was going to travel far away, and she also looked indifferent and had no instructions. Fortunately, Murong Fu had long been accustomed to Li Qingluo's coldness, and the real purpose of his trip was only for Wang Yuyan, so he immediately changed his words and said: "My cousin is now seven years old, I don't know what my aunt's plans are for this enlightenment?" ”
As soon as Murong Fu's voice fell, Li Qingluo looked confused, obviously her heart was all about remembering her lost love, but she had no plan for her daughter's future. Seeing this, Murong Fu couldn't help but turn his face and sigh slightly, and continued: "Aunt Haojiao knows that my nephew has hired a famous teacher to teach Azhu Abi. My cousin and Azhu Abi have always been good friends, so it's better to study with the two girls. ”
His suggestion was purely good-intentioned, but Li Qingluo didn't like Murong Fu to compare his daughter with the two slaves, so she lowered her face and said: "I have my own plans for Yu Yan's affairs, you don't need to ask more." ”
Murong Fu knew that his aunt had a very long menopause and was moody all year round, so he didn't care even if he touched a nail. Thinking that Wang Yuyan was still young and needed companions, she discussed with Li Qingluo in a good voice. "My aunt is young and widowed, if I invite my master to come to the museum, it will inevitably damage my aunt's reputation, so it is better to let Yu Yan go to Yanziwu to study. If my aunt is worried about the safety on the road, can my nephew let Sister-in-law Deng personally take care of the escort? ”
Murong Fu's arrangement can be regarded as thoughtful, but Li Qingluo faintly felt that there was a lot of ridicule in her ears when she heard it, and she immediately said angrily: "Yu Yan is my daughter, I will teach it myself!" ”
Li Qingluo didn't eat oil and salt like this, and Murong Fu couldn't bear it anymore, and replied coldly: "My cousin is innocent, and he doesn't know that the world is sinister and terrifying. Is her aunt going to teach her to ignore etiquette and casually run away with a strange man without a matchmaker? ”
Li Qingluo's face was crimson, and she was furious, and she slapped Murong Fu in the face without thinking. Although Li Qingluo said that she was in love, she was also very good at the orthodox martial arts of the Carefree School after all. This slap was swift, and only a crisp sound of "pop" was heard, and a clear five-finger mark immediately fell on Murong Fu's face, which was even more shocking and terrifying against his originally fair and handsome face.
"Cousin!" Wang Yuyan, who had been hiding in the inner hall to listen to their conversation, couldn't bear it anymore when she saw this, and slammed open the door and rushed in. She was too young to understand the meaning of their words, so she only angrily tugged at the corner of her mother's clothes and asked. "Why did my mother beat my cousin?"
Li Qingluo's heart was full of bitterness and resentment, but she couldn't speak, seeing that even her daughter was turning her elbow out, she was even more angry, so she only bent down and hugged Wang Yuyan, and tears fell one after another.
Mother and daughter are heart-to-heart, although Wang Yuyan is dissatisfied with her mother beating her cousin, it can be seen that her mother is sad, but she still obediently reached out to wipe away her tears, and whispered: "Mother, don't be sad, everything has me!" ”
When Li Qingluo heard this, her tears fell even more urgently. Wang Yuyan was at a loss, so she turned to Murong Fu again and shouted in a low voice: "Cousin, cousin......"
Murong Fu sighed lightly, lifted his robe and knelt down, and said in a low voice: "It's my nephew's gaffe, and my aunt forgives me." ”
Li Qingluo snorted coldly, and said hatefully: "I am a widow, I have no power and no power, but I can't afford you, the prince and grandson, to kneel!" ”
"Aunt, now that men are in power, they can tolerate men's arbitrary behavior, but they can't tolerate women who are out of line." Murong Fu didn't wait for Li Qingluo to say anything sour again, and immediately interrupted her. "No matter how wrong a man is, he can still turn back and not change his money; But if the woman takes a wrong step, it will be a catastrophe. My aunt is a person who has suffered hardships, and my aunt's love for her daughter is even more undoubted, can my aunt bear to watch my cousin repeat her mistakes in the future? ”
"How could Yu Yan repeat my mistakes? If anyone is sorry for Yu Yan, who is ......" Li Qingluo gritted her teeth and hugged her daughter tightly, and the green tendons in her hands burst out, as if she wanted to fight with others.
Murong Fu sighed gloomily and said in a low voice: "Auntie, my cousin is so beautiful...... Men are naturally heavy on color, and in this world, there are more people who love flowers and cherish fewer flowers. When my cousin was young and beautiful, there were naturally countless wild bees and butterflies around her to show her goodwill, and even his own life was not spared in order to please her. But what if my cousin is old and decrepit? Even, he doesn't have to wait until his cousin is old and decrepit, just for the sake of his family, for money, for power, for another woman, why is it difficult for him to give up a woman who has already been acquired? ”
Li Qingluo stood in place in a daze, and choked up for a long time: "It turns out that men think like this?" ”
"Yes, that's what men think." Murong Fu said extremely coldly, "It is not enough for a woman to be beautiful and gentle, she must also be able to take care of my family, give birth to children for me, tolerate me having fun with other women, and even bring me tangible benefits." Only in this way can I stay by her side for a long time. ”
Li Qingluo smiled incomparably and said softly: "Just stay by your side? She breathed a long sigh of relief, and suddenly said ambitiously, "Just with this Mantuo Villa and my blessed land, it is more than enough to raise Yuyan for a lifetime!" ”
"Why did my aunt give up eating because of choking? What's more, one day, my aunt will be old, and my nephew will be old. My cousin has been detained by my aunt for a lifetime, and after all, I am lonely, how can my aunt bear it? The only way to let my cousin read and understand the rules of this world is to let my cousin understand the rules of this world. What will happen in the future, not just in her thoughts? When that time comes......" Murong Fu smiled softly, his eyebrows full of banter.
"Until then?" Li Qingluo repeated suspiciously.
"At that time, it's not about marrying or not marrying, let alone marrying anyone, but how to live with my cousin to be happy." Murong Fu said word by word.
"You...... Let me think about it, let me think about it......" Li Qingluo shook her head slowly, only to feel that there seemed to be a thick fog in front of her that made her unable to see clearly. But in the depths of this thick fog, a beam of light faintly shines through, flickering and making people think about it. "You get up first."
"Aunt Xie." Murong Fu got up as he said and said. "If my aunt agrees, I will ask Sister-in-law Deng to pick up my cousin in a few days. The gentleman who sat in the hall was surnamed Zhang, and he was already in the age of ear shun, and he was a rare person who understood the world. ”
After chatting about business, Murong Fu was about to get up and say goodbye. Until this time, Li Qingluo finally spoke: "Reinstated, I don't have much to say about your Murong family." It's just that you are a smart person, you should understand and do what you can according to the situation. ”
Murong Fu couldn't help but raise his eyebrows in great surprise when he heard this, and pondered for a moment before he said, "Thank you aunt for mentioning it." This sentence of thanks, but it is much more sincere. Seeing Li Qingluo holding Wang Yuyan guarding this empty hall, Murong Fu couldn't bear it, and finally added a sentence. "Aunt don't worry, as long as there is a nephew for a day, I won't let people bully my cousin."
Murong Fufu thought that he had explained Li Qingluo, but he didn't know that when he set off five days later, Li Qingluo actually sent Wang Yuyan over.
Murong Fu couldn't help but hold his forehead with a headache when he heard this, this Li Qingluo said that the wind is rain, and a woman's heart is really as unpredictable as a needle under the sea.
Bao Wei seemed to see Murong Fu's embarrassment, and leaned forward and whispered: "Son, this ......"
Murong Fu knew that his aunt was sensitive and suspicious, and if Wang Yuyan was sent back today, the work he had spent before would be in vain. Thinking of this, he hugged Wang Yuyan in his arms and replied, "Let's go!" "No matter in his past or present life, Murong Fu has never had the experience of leveling women, only has rich experience in being leveled by women, so he has always been accustomed to being submissive.
"Cousin, where are we going?" Wang Yuyan obediently sat on Murong Fu's lap and asked curiously.
"Songshan Shaolin Temple is the first martial arts in the world......" Bao disagreed.
"Go to Shandong first, that is the holy land of the literary world in the state of etiquette......" Before Bao Wei finished speaking, Murong Fu had already interrupted him, thinking in his heart that this two-wheeled carriage without shock absorption would not know how many days Yu Yan could endure it, should he "invent" the four-wheeled carriage? …… Let's take a look at the road conditions first.
The wooden wheels rolled forward, striding towards Murong Fu's magnificent journey of destiny.
