Chapter 1: Cool Heart
In November of the twelfth year of Emperor Zhao, it was the middle of winter, and it was the season when the air turned into ice.
After a heavy snowfall, the suburbs of the capital are all white, and there are few other colors. But when they entered the city, the snow that had fallen was swept aside, staining the soles of passers-by's shoes, and the ash of the ruts of the carriages, the color of dirty earth.
The Liang Guogong Mansion was the same as the ordinary noble mansions, the snow in front of the door was swept clean, and a long red blanket was spread to isolate the cold and slippery ground.
And even the most inferior servants and mothers-in-law in the house can put on padded jackets, warm and warm, and do work outside, while the grandmothers and big maids who are guarding above are not paying attention, they will hide in the house, drink a cup of hot coarse tea, and by the way nag about the new things that they have heard or seen today.
"Hey, Zhang Liu's family, have you seen the old lady take the third young master out of the house today, I heard that it seems that something big happened in the Changkang Palace, I heard what Guo Er's family said, the old lady was very happy when she went."
"My eldest sister-in-law, you heard the news late, I just went to send dried fruits to the goddaughter who was a third-class maid in the old lady's house, the old lady has already returned, it looks really joyful, the house is very lively, the big girl who is difficult to smile and smile on weekdays has silver makeup, and I also rewarded me with two silver nudes when I saw it."
"Hey, it's really fake, why don't you take me there, I'll go and ask for a reward."
"How did I know I would be rewarded, I also went to find out, didn't I? Hey, look, isn't that the most face-saving Aunt Chen next to the third young master? Quick, where does the freshly washed rag go, I need to quickly wipe the flower pot. ”
"But isn't it, hey, what are you nervous about, her direction seems to be going to the family temple behind, and she can't see us."
……
The family temple of the Liang Guo Mansion is built in the west corner of the Liang Guo Mansion that occupies a street, and it is a remote corner that few people go to except for night duty.
Fan Yu used his frozen fingers to re-light the ever-bright lamp in front of the ancestral tablet of the Fu family, there was no earth dragon in the family temple, and the ubiquitous coldness wrapped Fan Yu all over his body, not only stiffened his body, but also his heart was cold.
The north is windy, and the ever-bright light in front of the tablet is always lit and extinguished.
After clicking twice and not lighting it, Fan Yu put down the flint in his hand, went around the tablet to look at the side window in the northwest, and sure enough, it was opened again.
"Magnolia, come in!"
Fan Yu shouted out of the window before closing the window, and the moment the window was closed, the cold wind mixed with the unmelted snow under the eaves hit his face, falling on his face like a knife.
Ten fingers are frozen, and it is easy to put down the window latch, and the frostbite on the hands is even more painful.
Fan Yu sat down with his legs held a little weakly, stretched his hands vigorously, and his slender jade hands, which were once not touched by the spring water, were now sores, rough and cracked, like a peasant woman.
"Sister, when will my sister come to save me......" Fan Yu remembered her sister who had been dependent on her since childhood, and the tears finally couldn't help it, and she was stung with tears on her frozen face, and Fan Yu hurriedly wiped the tears carefully with her sleeve.
I was sent to this place, it's been almost two months, and I asked Xueru to send a letter to my sister early, the eldest sister who loved me the most in the past, why is it that she has been in the future for so long.
This time, I thought about it, and I didn't ask for anything else, as long as my sister was willing to make decisions for herself, and Fu Qingtong reconciled, my sister hadn't said such things before, but she refused to listen, and thought that that person had herself in her heart, heh, at that time, I was obsessed with it, and now I finally saw the face of that person, is it too late.
No, it doesn't count, my sister will come to save herself.
Fan Yu thought of his sister, and finally felt warmth in his heart, stood up, stomped his feet, which were already stiff and almost unable to walk, and continued to light the lamp in front of the Fu family tablet.
At this time, the door of the family temple was opened, and a little maid with a head came in, glanced at Fan Yu, who had finally lit the lamp, and did not salute or approach, but said from a distance: "The third grandmother called me?" ”
Fan Yu turned to look at her, the little maid's face was flushed, yes, this little maid used all her charcoal in her house, and even wore her previous clothes.
He sent them to himself, after all, no one was willing to wear them if he stayed in the house, but he almost had his hair shaved, if it wasn't for the protection of death, where could he bring out the house now, bright clothes, but he couldn't wear them.
It's cheaper for this girl.
When my sister comes, I must sue my sister and let my sister punish her well!
"Didn't I say that the windows of the family temple should not be opened at will, since you said that you can't light the lights, let me light them, what is the reason why the lights are always turned off when the windows are open?"
"Aren't I sorry for the third grandmother, this place always smells, and you can't leave the family temple one step, what's wrong with me opening the window to ventilate?"
is directly commensurate with you and me, and I don't even need a "servant".
In the final analysis, it is to bully yourself into declining.
Fan Yu took a deep breath, endured the anger in his heart, and tried his best to keep his tone calm, "If you want to open it in the future, I will open it, if you act without permission, I will punish you." ”
"Third grandmother, don't say this, it's just the two of us who go back and forth in this yard, how can you punish me, I'm still a conscience, if I go to beg the third young master like Yuzhi and don't wait, then the third grandmother has to do the laundry by herself." After saying that, Yulan shivered, this place was really too cold, and she still went back to her charcoal-burning hut to be comfortable, so she ignored Fan Yu and closed the door and went out.
Fan Yu saw that the little maid left like this, was slightly stunned, smiled for a long time, and slowly sat down on the futon in front of the tablet.
That's it, that's it, if you don't let these people grind yourself, how can you understand the stupidity you used to be.
Back then, the two sisters of the Chen family in the Chen University Scholar's Mansion were famous in the capital, and they and their sister were also selected as the double sisters of the capital on the Qiao Girl Festival.
The complexion is red, and she has been praised in the past.
It was also on Qiao Girl's Day that I met Fu Qingtong.
Fu Qingtong, heh.
It turns out that after loving deeply, after the dream is shattered, thinking of a person is such a deep and deep hatred.
If it weren't for him, under the protection of his eldest sister, he would definitely live a good life, with fine clothes and food, and a loyal husband.
The eldest sister said at the beginning that girls can't just pick their family backgrounds when they get married, so that the children of the Hou family are handsome and can speak well, how many good ones can there be?
It's a pity that I have heard the truth a long time ago, and I can only understand it now.
"Squeak", the door of the family temple was opened again, and the north wind whistled through the hall, Xie Fanyu couldn't help but shudder, immediately tightened his clothes, and said with a little anger while turning around, "Yulan!" ”
"Third grandmother." The person who came was not Magnolia, closed the door, and a figure of Ping Ting came in with a smile.
The glamorous face is frozen pink, but there is a natural style in the eyebrows, and the delicate figure is wrapped in a small silver fox leather jacket, and the feet are deerskin boots, and the whole body is rich and noble.
When Fan Yu saw the visitor, his eyes immediately widened, and he couldn't help screaming when he pointed at the visitor: "Chen Xuerong!" How are you, how are you here? ”
After that, he pointed to the door and said, "Get out, get out of here, I don't want to see you." ”
"The third grandmother's anger is still so strong, why bother, they have all fallen into this situation." Chen Xuerong not only didn't leave, but also approached step by step, standing two steps away from Xie Fanyu, and looked at Xie Fanyu carefully, "Tsk, it's only been a long time, how can it be like ten years old, is this still one of the famous Shuangshu in the Chen University Scholar's Mansion in the capital, is this still the person Qingtong used to put on the tip of his heart?" Is this still the third grandmother who used to be angry with me and instruct me to drink around? I don't even know each other. ”
"Shut up! You still know that I'm the third grandmother, since you know, don't get out yet, I don't want to see you slut! Fan Yu scolded angrily, the last thing she wanted was to face Chen Xuerong, who was once regarded as a great enemy, at such a down-and-out time.
She clearly remembered that the change in Fu Qingtong's attitude towards herself began when Chen Xuerong entered the Liang Guogong Mansion!
"Third grandma, you can dissipate your anger, why are you so angry, at this point, you don't know anything at all." As he spoke, he shook his head with mockery and pity in his eyes, "Oh, do you think that your good sister will come to meddle again?" Will it intervene again? It's like driving Lin Xiaoru away and driving me away? Forcing Qingtong to pick you up again? Chen Xuerong suddenly made a look of realization, but her tone was full of ridicule, without a trace of fear.
"Third grandma, you are dead, there is news from Changkang Wangfu today, Mrs. Hui Shizi of Changkang Wangfu, your good sister Xie Fanyan committed suicide by drinking poison!"
Chen Xuerong said these words word by word, and looked at Xie Fanyu's face that suddenly became pale and unbelievable, and felt extremely happy in her heart!
That woman should have died a long time ago! In the past, relying on her identity as the wife of Hui Shizi of Changkang Palace, she came to Liangguo Mansion to see Xie Fanyu and support her, and always called a few concubines around her to her side to mention her life, especially herself, I don't know how angry I was by that person!
In the dignified Liang Guo Mansion, no one dared to attack her, just because the husband she married was the son of King Changkang, who was personally given the title by the Queen Mother!
Later, he simply forced the old lady to open a mansion for the third master outside, without the old lady's restraint and daily ear life, this idiot Xie Fanyu didn't know how many days he had been proud.
And how much idleness she Chen Xuerong has suffered, today she finally waited for the day when she raised her eyebrows.
Chen Xuerong stared at Xie Fanyu's expression, and refused to miss a trace of expression.
Sister. He's dead?
No!
Fan Yu's heart was shocked, his legs trembled as if he had lost his strength, and finally slowly, slowly squatted on the ground.
"What nonsense are you talking about, Chen Xuerong." There was no trace of momentum in Xie Fanyu's tough tone, her sister had not come in the past few months, and she had not sent anyone, she thought that her sister was angry with herself and disappointed in herself.
She always thought that her sister would one day forgive herself, not be angry, and save herself from the sea of suffering.
However, why, this nasty woman, would say such a heart-wrenching thing.
