Chapter 16 A Family of Scholars

Thinking like this, Old Man Fu was even more sure of his previous plan in his heart, he couldn't let the century-old family quietly decline like this.

Old lady Fu has an easy-going and handsome face, if she is ten years younger, I am afraid that she will not be worse than her own sons, Fu Tianqing thought.

The two grandparents, one staring and watching, the other quietly waiting, the picture is calm and harmonious.

Old lady Fu remembered what her eldest son said, and couldn't help but measure it in her heart, and try her temperament. A quarter of an hour passed, and the little girl in front of him was still at his disposal, and there was no impatience, and he wanted to see if it was really like this.

"Your father said that you were seriously ill when you were a child, and you left all your homework behind, but is this?"

Fu Tianqing once asked Zihuan this question, after all, she had to know everything she should know in order not to easily reveal flaws, she replied honestly: "Back to grandfather, it's true." ”

Respectfully and respectfully there was no dissatisfaction, and when he raised his head, there was no guilt or nervousness in his eyes, this girl and he imagined that they were like two people, and he remembered that this third girl was just a timid and fragile girl before he left the house, and he thought at that time, but it was a pity that part of the blood on her body was lost.

Now that he looks at it, he has not lost the demeanor and charm of the century-old family, and there is an innate nobility in his body, which makes him stunned.

The old lady said tentatively: "What your father meant in the past was that since you have fallen behind in so many homework, you naturally can't compare with your sister. The daughters of our family generally have to do their best to cultivate and teach, marry into the family with the Fu family, and marriage is to conclude a good relationship between the two surnames, so that the two families support each other and continue together. ”

Fu Tianqing looked at Old Lady Fu and listened quietly.

Old Lady Fu nodded secretly, and continued: "Our Fu family's family of poetry, books and etiquette for generations has supported each other with each other in this way. This is the case with the marriage of the Wang family and the Lin family. Your maternal grandfather Wang Yuan is the current head of the Wang family, but it is a pity that your maternal grandfather only has one concubine from your mother, and your maternal grandmother also gave your maternal grandfather a concubine when she was still alive, but she still failed to give birth to the successor of the Wang family's long house. ”

"Although today's Wang family is still glamorous on the outside, in the end, it has to rely on the long house to support the court, and in the long run, I am afraid that it will not be far from falling apart." Old lady Fu sighed with emotion as she spoke, and there was a strong reluctance when she heard it.

Fu Tianqing is still the first time to contact the word family, in her cognition, a person's life is just a few fathers and sons, filial piety, children, family happiness, can achieve such is a blessing in life. What's more, she is not really the granddaughter of the Wang family in her bones, and the old man's words obviously have no effect on her.

Old lady Fu was silent for a long time, but when he came back to his senses, he found that Fu Tianqing still looked like he was not ready to speak, he was a little anxious, and he was secretly annoyed because he couldn't understand this girl.

"Three girls, you don't seem to care about your grandfather at all? Don't you even have curiosity? ”

Fu Tianqing was stunned, did this old man think that she should lament for the Wang family, but why?

"Grandfather, granddaughter has never heard of the Wang family since she was a child, although you pointed it out today, but how can I ask such a little girl who has not been out of the cabinet."

Old Lady Fu seemed to be choked, but the words stuck in his throat didn't know how to speak.

Over the years, the Fu and Wang families have gradually broken off contact, and the Wang family no longer mentions their mother's family, and the agreement between the two families is gone.

"I called you here today to tell you, since you have unexpectedly got this family business, you can't be sloppy, from today onwards I will read the four books and five classics carefully, as for the qin, chess, calligraphy and painting, choose one that you think you can do well and learn carefully, you have missed so many years can only be like this, unlike your sister who has been in contact with these since childhood."

Fu Tianqing didn't expect the old lady to have such a requirement for her, she didn't marry a scholarly family, it stands to reason that this is to break the balance of the Fu family for so many years. If you can't figure it out, you won't think about it, and it won't hurt her anyway.

"Yes, follow your grandfather's teachings, and my granddaughter will study more in the future."

Mrs. Fu is still satisfied with this, at least she can be taught, look at her cultivation in the past two years. Seeing that it was already early, Mrs. Fu also told her to step down

didn't say a few words, but it was already twilight, Fu Tianqing rubbed her legs, which were already a little stiff, and her heart really hadn't stood for so long, and she didn't know if this old lady was deliberately grinding her temperament.

Zihuan also waited outside for a long time, and when he saw that the master finally came out, he stepped forward and asked, "Miss, should we go back directly or go and talk to the old lady first?" ”

Fu Tianqing didn't want to think about it, so she blurted out: "What to say, the old lady wishes I didn't go to her, this time the meal will annoy her even more, go back directly." ”

Zihuan carefully supported Fu Tianqing, and he didn't dare to come out, but he thought that Fu Tianqing had a big temper these days and couldn't stand being wronged.

As soon as he walked out of Fuzhi Hall, he met Fu Xiangqing who was walking over.

"Third sister, this is just coming out of Fuzhi Hall?"

Fu Tianqing bowed: "I'm going back." ”

Fu Xiangqing said: "I just came out of my mother's place, and I was about to go over to see my grandmother, and I knew that my sister was also there, and I should have come earlier." ”

Fu Tianqing didn't want to explain more, but she was afraid that she would talk nonsense in front of the old lady, so she said more: "Grandfather was a little late to talk to me, and I went back first for fear of disturbing my grandmother for dinner." ”

"I see, I wanted to accompany the old lady with my sister, but it doesn't seem to work today." Fu Xiangqing's face was not shocked, there was nothing wrong with it, but inside she wanted to know what the old lady had said to her, and thought that her father had also gone to the study to talk to her grandfather for a long time, so she thought that it had nothing to do with it.

After Fu Tianqing said two words such as changing the day, he took Zihuan first.

Looking at that slender figure, now that he even has the confidence to speak, Fu Xiangqing began to feel uneasy again. She said: "Find a way to inquire about what the old lady said to the third lady, and ask her what she did when she returned to Fushengzhai." ”

"Yes, do you want to talk back to the eldest young master, the old lady's attitude is not something that ordinary people can influence."

Fu Xiangqing turned around and looked at the main entrance of Fuzhi Hall and said, "Let's go and say hello to my grandmother first, my grandmother's words grandfather has always been able to listen to me, not to mention that it's just a matter of three girls." ”

After freshening up early the next morning, Fu Tianqing still went to Qinxin Hall first, thinking that she and Fu Xiangqing would go back to breakfast immediately like the day before, but they didn't want Mrs. Fu to let Mrs. Fu take the two of them there.
