Mrs. Cheng couldn't help but bow her head, and the original uneasiness in her heart faded unconsciously, replaced by an inexplicable sense of trust.

She settled down, and Fang said softly: "The concubine took the liberty to come and disturb Lord Fu's rest, please forgive me." ”

Fu Geng said gently: "It's okay." Even if Mrs. Cheng doesn't come, I will send someone to visit. Master Cheng is a pioneer and exemplary, and I, as his superior, am very happy to have such a subordinate. ”

As soon as Mrs. Cheng heard this, her eyes turned red, and she said in a choked tone: "The concubine knows that those who are officials should put state affairs first. It's just that the concubine is a shallow woman in the house, although she knows that her husband is loyal to the country, she still can't help but worry. Under the Qingyang embankment is the surging river, as long as the concubine thinks of it, she worries day and night, and she can't sleep well. Speaking of this, she couldn't help but pull out her handkerchief and hide her face and weep softly.

Fu Geng stared at her crying face, his eyes revealed a very faint trace of tenderness, and said in a harmonious voice: "It is human nature for Mrs. Cheng to be worried. ”

Listening to Fu Geng's gentle words, Mrs. Cheng's tears became more and more unstoppable, although she tried her best to endure it, but the tears were like bursting the embankment, dripping down incessantly.

The expression on Fu Geng's face became softer and softer, but his eyes inadvertently swept to the window, and when he saw the faint shadow of the window, he suppressed a sneer at the corner of his lips. He stood up and took two steps in Mrs. Cheng's direction, as if he wanted to step forward to comfort him.

Mrs. Cheng only felt that her eyes were slightly dark, and when she raised her head, she saw Fu Geng's face of concern, and she was walking forward. Seeing Fu Geng's behavior, she couldn't help but be slightly shocked, the hand that wiped the tears stopped on her cheeks, her eyes showed a slight surprise, and there was a faint panic.

Who would have thought, after Fu Geng took two steps, he seemed to suddenly remember something, his expression was slightly condensed, and his footsteps turned a corner halfway. Bent over to Cheng Ke, who had been concentrating on eating candy.

Cheng Ke was eating the fruit, and suddenly saw Fu Geng coming over, her cheeks were still bulging, but she heard Fu Geng say softly: "Is this fruit delicious?" ”

Cheng Ke stopped chewing. Nodding timidly, he glanced at the frosting fruit in his hand again, and reluctantly put it back on the plate.

Fu Geng looked at her bulging cheeks, and suddenly crossed Fu Jun's face in front of him. His daughter is just like the little girl in front of him. He has round cheeks, and the shallow pear vortex on the side of the cheeks is always filled with a cute smile.

He looked at Cheng Ke in a daze, only to feel that Cheng Ke's face coincided with Fu Jun's face, which made his heart soften in an instant.

He stepped forward, picked two frosted fruits on the plate, put them beside Cheng Ke, and said softly, "You love frosting." ”

Cheng Ke glanced at Fu Geng inexplicably, and then his attention was attracted by the candy. She grabbed the fruit, glanced at Fu Geng timidly, and finally remembered to thank her, so she said in a very soft voice: "Thank you, Master Fu." ”

Her voice was different from Fu Jun's. Fu Jun's voice was sweet and soft, with a bit of a Gusu accent from the Wang family. But Cheng Ke's voice was very light and brittle, like a yellow warbler coming out of the valley.

It was this light and crisp voice that made Fu Geng wake up from his momentary distraction. His expression darkened, and he turned and walked back to his chair, glancing at the faint shadow by the window. He secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and when he turned around again. The expression on his face was still light, but the trace of gentleness was gone.

Mrs. Cheng had already collected her tears at this time, and saw Fu Geng sitting indifferently in front of her, and her style exuded from the inside out. She couldn't help but feel ashamed of herself.

Fu Geng said lightly: "Mrs. Cheng don't worry, I will send someone to the embankment to check on the same day, and I will notify Mrs. Cheng as soon as there is news." ”

Mrs. Cheng came this time, in fact, she wanted to ask Fu Geng to order the recall of Cheng Yu. However, at this moment, the best time to speak has passed, and Fu Geng's tone is so unquestionable. She couldn't open her mouth to make a request.

She had no choice but to nod her head, and when Fu Geng saw this, she picked up the teacup.

Although Mrs. Cheng is in a remote county, she still understands these rules, and knows that Fu Geng means sending off guests. It's just that Fu Geng's posture of serving tea was really elegant, which made her stunned for a moment before she got up to say goodbye.

Fu Geng politely asked Xingzhou to send their mother and daughter out, and before going out, he asked the little girl to fill a small box of candy and handed it to Cheng Ke.

Outside the window, the rain was howling, the sky was getting more and more gloomy, and it was not yet noon, but the whole city seemed to have entered dusk, and the surroundings were dark.

Fu Geng looked up at the sky, and the expression in his eyes was also obscure. Suddenly, a bolt of lightning streaked across the sky, carving a mark like a silver hook in the dark sky.

When the lightning disappeared, Fu Geng's expression relaxed, as if he had something happy, until he went to the front hall to discuss the matter, he still had a relaxed smile on his face, which made some people who participated in the meeting relax at the same time, and they couldn't help but secretly sneer in their hearts: The habits of the sons and brothers in the capital are difficult to change, and wherever they go, if they can really make some things, they will save a lot of trouble.

After the discussion, Fu Geng went back to the house to rest and never appeared. It rained heavily all night, stopping for a moment at dawn, and then it began to rain again, even heavier than before. The water level in the streets of the city has risen by two more points, and it is almost knee-deep.

The master bookkeeper wanted to show himself well in front of Fu Geng, so he got up before dawn, yawned and went to the back hall, and carefully explained the kitchen and the servants left behind, and he must serve Lord Zhizhou well, and see if the time is not early, so he went to Fu Geng's room to greet him.

Who thought of Fu Geng's residence, only to see that the door was closed, there was no small servant left in front of the door, and the door was also closed very tightly.

The master first whispered twice outside the door, and then realized that something was wrong, so he knocked on the door again, and no one answered for a long time. He panicked, and peeked through the crack in the window to look into the room. In the light of day, I saw that the room was empty, and the bedding on the bed was neatly folded, and it was obvious that no one had touched it at all.

The master bookkeeper was shocked, and he didn't care about the umbrella, so he ran to the residence of the leader of the Dragon Guards in the heavy rain, knocked on the door and said in a panic: "General Wen is not good, Lord Zhizhou is gone." ”

"What did you say?" The leader of the Dragon Praetorian Guard named Wen Zuo had a sudden change in his face, grabbed the collar of the main book, and asked urgently, "Say it again, what's wrong with Master Fu?" ”

The master book was strangled by his neck vigorously, and he almost couldn't even breathe, and rolled his eyes and hissed: "General Wen, please let go, it's Master Fu...... Master Fu is gone. ”

Wen Zuo was stunned for a moment when he heard this, shook off the main book, turned around and entered the house, picked up the sword, took the hat and put it on his head, and said, "Take me to see it." ”

The master bookkeeper stroked his hot neck, and he didn't even dare to slow down, so he led Wen Zuo all the way to Fu Geng's residence. (To be continued.) )
