Since the last time she came back from shopping, Asu has been at home because of a subsequent foot injury, and then her foot is better, and she doesn't see Fugu Coral coming to her, suspiciously, she sent Xiaoju to visit Fugufeng's house, but she brought a shocking news that the lady of Fugufeng's family is gone.

When I first came to Chang'an, I was still impressed by the servant Gufeng, surrounded by a group of concubines, so I didn't see his wife at that time, it was said that she was not in good health, but I thought that it would not be a month, and it was gone.

Li Guangbi learned about it, so he asked Li Xiang to take Asu to the house to mourn, although he didn't have much contact with Fugufeng, but after all, the two families have an in-law relationship, and now that this kind of thing has happened in his house, he still has to come to the door to see.

There are not many people who go to Fugufeng's mansion to mourn, Fugufeng has been in the capital for a short time, and in the capital, a six-grade official is like a sesame mung bean everywhere, so there are also some people who have business dealings with him on weekdays.

Menzi reported that Li Xiang and Asu were coming, and Fu Guyang took Fu Gu Coral out to greet him, the last time the four of them met was outside the long pavilion, this time they really thought that it was in this situation, everyone didn't talk much, and Fu Guyang led Li Xiang's brothers and sisters to the mourning hall.

In the mourning hall, Fu Gufeng stood there in a white robe, with no expression on his face, just a polite response to everyone who came to mourn, seeing Li Xiang and Asu, there was a little surprise, but he immediately returned to his usual expression, thanking them for coming to mourn.

At this time, in front of the mourning hall, two children were burning paper wearing linen and filial piety, the eldest child was an eleven or twelve-year-old girl, just bowing her head and not saying anything, and the younger one was an eight or nine-year-old boy, whose face was already red from crying, and his body was still sobbing with sobbing, which was strange and distressing. Asu thought to himself that this was probably the son of the late Mrs. Li, and it was pitiful that he would have no mother at such a young age.

The four aunts and wives are now also standing behind Fu Gufeng, bowing their heads and not knowing what their expressions are, Li Xiang and Asu stepped forward to offer incense, comforted the two children in the past, and said some words of condolences to Fu Gufeng, and then walked out, and Fu Gu Coral and Fu Gu Yang naturally followed and sent out the door.

"Asu, in two days, our eldest brother and we will send our sister-in-law back to Lingzhou together, and my sister-in-law's dying wish is still to be buried in Lingzhou." Fugu Coral said gloomily to Li Xiang and Asu.

Li Xiang glanced at Fu Guyang and asked with concern, "Gorou, will you go with you?" ”

Fu Guyang nodded silently, "This time the plan was to take the martial arts exam and come back, but now, something like this has happened, and it is impossible for me to stay here alone." ”

Asu thought of the four aunts in the house, and wondered if he would also go back with him, so he couldn't help but glance at them in the mourning hall.

Fugu Coral seemed to see Asu's thoughts, pulled Asu, and said in a low voice, "Those little sisters-in-law don't come with us, they want to go, and my father won't beat them out." ”

"I saw a girl kneeling just now, whose child is this?" Aso asked curiously.

"You mean Pei'er, she is the daughter of the eldest brother and the Da Zhang family, the first child of the eldest brother, and she is twelve years old this year."

"It's so old, Brother Fugufeng is only nine years older than us, and I can't imagine that the children are only three years younger than Asu." Li Xiang couldn't help but sigh when he heard this.

Fugu Coral and Fugu Yang looked at each other awkwardly, and it was hard to say anything, this brother became a father when he was a teenager, and he made enough trouble in the family at that time.

Asu looked busy and changed the topic, and said to Fugu Coral, "When will you come here when you go?" ”

Fugu Coral shook his head silently when he heard this, then remembered something, and said to Asu, "Asu, we can't come, won't you go back to Lingzhou in the future, I heard that your uncle bought a mansion here, is your family planning to move to Chang'an?" ”

"This is not true, my uncle only said that he would take Mrs. Wang and the old lady to Chang'an for the New Year, although he bought a house, but he didn't say that he would live here forever in the future. Besides, my sister is still in Lingzhou, and I haven't seen her for a long time. Asu thought of her sister, and couldn't help but look at Fu Guyang, and she didn't know if her sister was doing well during this time.

Fu Guyang saw the worry in Asu's eyes, so he answered, "Asu, don't worry, I will treat your sister well, even if you are stationed in Chang'an in the future, you must remember to come to Lingzhou to see us." Don't come to Chang'an and forget about Lingzhou. ”

"Brother-in-law, don't worry, you leave Chang'an, and my second cousin and I will see you off again." Asu pulled Li Xiang's sleeve and said to Fugu Yang and Fugu Coral.

But Fugu Coral and Fugu Yang both shook their heads, saying that they were sending a hearse to the funeral, and they should not send each other on such an occasion.

The wind at night was whining, and only Zhu'er was left alone in the mourning hall at this time, still kneeling there and burning paper, he was young, and he suffered such an accident, and his sadness can be imagined, his father and aunts persuaded him to go back to the house to rest for a while, but he still did not move, just lowered his head and responded, "Please let me accompany A-Niang again." ”

Fugu Coral couldn't bear it, this day, Zhu'er didn't eat a little bit of food, and if she continued to boil like this, she was afraid that she was going to get sick, so she warmed up a bowl of porridge and brought it over, slowly squatted down, and said softly, "Good boy, eat a little porridge, if your aunt sees you like this now, she can't bear it." ”

Zhu'er looked at a servant coral, his mother was seriously ill in the past few days, that is, this aunt came and went the most, suddenly her heart was sour, crying and jumping into the arms of Fugu coral, "Auntie, Zhu'er has no aunt, and there will be no one to take care of Zhu'er in the future." ”

He fell into his arms, patted his back lightly and comforted, "Silly child, you still have a father, an aunt, an uncle, a grandfather, a grandmother, and many people who will love you and love you, this time you follow us back to Lingzhou, and you will stay in Lingzhou with your aunt in the future, okay?" ”

Zhu'er wept and nodded silently, and Gu Gu Coral wiped the tears hanging on his face with a handkerchief, then handed him the porridge and said softly, "Good boy, eat something quickly." ”

Outside the door, there was a pair of eyes watching them at this time, and he was also holding a bowl of porridge in his hand at this time. Seeing that Zhu'er finally ate, Fu Gufeng's hanging heart also let go a little, since Li's death, this son has become more and more resistant to him, as if he killed his aunt.

Thinking of the Li family, Fu Gufeng also felt guilty in his heart, he didn't pay enough attention to his wife's illness, just regarded it as an ordinary wind chill and was unwell, but he didn't expect it to be able to kill someone. There are many concubines in the family, and when they come home, they are always pulled by this and that, but they rarely go to Li's room to visit, and for the first time, Fu Gufeng realized that he seemed to have done something wrong, and he became ruthless when he showed mercy everywhere.
