Chapter 174 ~ Chapter 175 Distress
In the palace, the emperor and empress both frowned after receiving the report.
"Wu Luohou is a good one, but it's a pity that the family is not in trouble, Chang Xiao is now easy to listen to the words of the concubine, and softened his posture in front of Prince Xiang, it is said that the two of them also went to walk the horse, and went to the teahouse to eat tea and listen to the story, seeing that the relationship has progressed, the villain has come to make trouble several times. Wouldn't it be bad if Prince Xiang looked at the people of the Fu family like that, and thus suspected Chang Xiao's character that affected the marriage? ”
The emperor frowned, the state affairs were busy, and there was too little leisure time, and now it was easy to rest for a while on the couch and there was such a bad thing, and he couldn't help but be a little impatient.
"You also know why those people in the Fu family left in the first place, so it's up to you to deal with it."
As if expecting the emperor to say this, the queen said: "The concubine has a way, now that the Fu family has been dispersed, the second and third rooms go back to just want to make profits, both parties now have a son, it is better for the concubine to tell people to pay attention, borrow Chang Xiao's hand to give them some favors, so that they are grateful, they will naturally be better to Chang Xiao, and when they see Prince Xiang, they will not be too ugly." ”
"It's fine." The emperor pretended to sleep.
The queen was silent.
So after more than a month, the season of heavy snowfall, the second aunt who lives in her mother's house and the third aunt who lives with the old lady and the old lady with the child Lai in the grange, have received the will of the palace, the emperor read in Fu Gang is full of loyalty, Wu Luohou has made outstanding achievements, and now the junior in the family is sluggish, and the two positions of the weaving department are granted to Fu Minchu and Fu Fangchu after the expiration of the system. Although the grade is not high, it is just an idle job, but in the end, it is better than being a white body before.
The old lady and the old lady Xie were a little stunned by the good luck that fell from the sky. Originally, the family was crowded in a small village. It was very bad to stumble and quarrel all day, and now the two grandchildren have positions. Just wait for the removal of the service, and the days will be equal to hope.
It's dark early in winter. However, it was already dark at the beginning of the day, and the family stayed in the hall around a square table, and had dinner by the bright candlelight of the table.
The old lady irritably pushed away the dishes and chopsticks that Mama Jiang denied.
"You have seen the will of this day. Now that he has been stained with the Seven Girls, even Brother Min and Brother Fang have benefited. ”
The third aunt nodded.
The old lady on the side was still eating silently.
Fu Minchu covered his mouth and coughed twice, and then said, "So we have to thank the seventh sister even more." If it weren't for her......"
"If it weren't for her, we wouldn't be where we are now! What kind of rice is this called, how can you eat it! The old lady looked at the large pot of radishes stewed on the table, and four plates of various pickles, and immediately lost any appetite.
In winter, vegetables in the north are in short supply. The cave is expensive, and it is not used by ordinary people, but in the past, they were used to eating good in the house. How can you get used to this period of time?
The third aunt ignored her and ate by herself.
Fu Minchu said: "Grandmother, don't be angry, the first two years will pass, and when you are not only serving your grandchildren, you will try to give you a good life." And don't worry if I say something, if there is no uncle and aunt, shouldn't our family live like this? I still remember being in the country when I was younger, you ......"
"Shut up!" The old lady glared at Fu Minchu angrily.
Fu Minchu stopped. I can't swallow the food anymore. He got up and went out.
Leaving the Hou Mansion, there is naturally no more fine clothes and food, and he eats and lives with his grandfather and grandmother, and now he wants to eat a high point and get it behind his mother's back.
If you don't know how expensive firewood and rice are, you don't know how expensive they are It was also during the days of living in the Grange that Fu Min deeply understood that they had two families in the third and second rooms. Together with the old lady, I lived in my uncle's house for more than ten years, and how much did I eat up with various expenses such as food, clothing, housing and transportation.
Fu Minchu to his uncle's house. It's a deep sense of guilt. It's that I can't get used to seeing the old lady like this.
As soon as he left, the third aunt also put down the dishes and chopsticks. Instructed Fu Rui and Fu Qian to eat slowly by themselves. and pursued his son. Who knew that as soon as he arrived outside the side door, he heard Fu Minchu coughing out of breath.
"Brother Min. How are you? Didn't you just inhale again? ”
Fu Minchu's face was flushed with a cough, and he had the heart to comfort his mother for a few words, and before he could speak, he felt that his eyes were black and fainted. The third aunt screamed in fright.
When Fu Ying got the news that Fu Minchu was sick, it was already early the next morning.
She wore a light blue placket brocade jacket, a crescent white horse skirt, and a large collar made of white fox fur given by the queen.
Whether it is the white jade Ruyi knot necklace on her neckline, or the delicate enamel color small stove in her hand, or the eight palace maids who serve the unity standing respectfully behind her, it shows that her identity is no longer the seven girls who can be robbed of marriage by others in the past, but the emperor's beloved righteous daughter Shuanghe Princess, and the love of Prince Xiang at first sight.
Mama Jiang stood on the ground with her head down, with unprecedented respect: "...... The old lady meant to ask the princess to help and find a doctor to show the fifth young master. ”
Fu Ying twisted his eyebrows, turned around and ordered: "Watermelon, I'm bothering you to go for a run." ”
Mama Jiang raised her eyes in surprise, and saw a raw palace maid carved in pink and jade saluted and walked down quickly.
Is there anyone else called such a name? Thinking that this person was Fu Ying's palace maid, Mama Jiang understood.
"Tell me in detail, how did the fifth brother faint? What happened to irritate him? ”
Song was also very anxious: "That child's body is not good, and he will always be weaker in winter, isn't there anything else?" ”
Mama Jiang lowered her head and said: "In Zhuangzi, food and accommodation are not as good as before. So ......"
As a subordinate, she can't say that her master is not. But the meaning in the words was enough for Fu Ying and Song to chew.
Food and housing are not good, so the old lady is bound to stir up trouble. The old lady behaves like a demon all day long, and it is strange that Fu Minchu's mood will be good.
"So, before the fifth brother fainted, grandmother made a fuss again?"
"Forehead ......"
"If I know correctly, the holy decree was sent yesterday, and the emperor gave the fifth brother the position."
"The princess is right, it was indeed yesterday."
"It's all like this. In the future, the Fu family will not be a desperate future, and they will also have a livelihood and hope. Why is grandmother making trouble again? What else is she not content with? Fu Ying pursed her lips, and her pure apricot eyes flashed. Isn't that not content? ”
Song understood and sighed.
Fu Ying instructed the maidservant: "Prepare the meal first, and invite Mama Jiang to eat." ”
Mama Jiang was flattered.
Fu Ying smiled and said, "You go to eat first, and then my mother and I will prepare and go to the Grange with you." ”
Mama Jiang was overjoyed, and hurriedly saluted and thanked her.
After she left, Song smiled and took Fu Ying's hand: "I thought you didn't want to care about them." ”
"I don't want to pay attention to it." Fu Ying held Song's hand: "But the fifth brother is not wrong, the fifth brother helped me a lot in the most difficult time, if it wasn't for the fifth brother to help me speak." On that day, I may have been carried to Zhao's house to fill the house for Zhao Zihai. And when they saw something happening, they left in a hurry that day, and the fifth brother also stopped them, saying that what they did was wrong. I think that the fifth brother is also a son of man, and there is no way. ”
Song smiled when he heard this: "I can't imagine that my stupid girl is also a clear right and wrong." ”
"I've always been." Fu Ying ordered someone to prepare the car, and asked Zhenyu to open a warehouse to find medicinal materials, and by the way, he also called Dr. Sun, who now lives in the mansion, to bring it.
Mama Jiang had breakfast, the carriage and horses were ready, and as everyone went out of the second gate, they saw a luxurious blue carriage parked in front of the door. The emblem of the Marquis of Wuluo's Mansion on the top is particularly conspicuous. The pony carts that followed behind were also new, and there were also carts with cages and food boxes on them, which showed that they were going to take the Grange.
Mama Jiang was envious.
Having lived here before, she doesn't feel anything. Now he has become a farmer with his master. Only then did I realize how precious the wealth of the past was.
Not only did she complain a little about the old lady.
If it weren't for the kind of tricks that made a little expert in death, with a soft-hearted and soft-faced person like the people of the Marquis of Wuluo, they would be able to accommodate them for ten years. Do you still care about the future?
If a person is stupid, others will not be able to save him.
In the carriage, Fu Ying held the sugar ball and chatted with Song.
"Worry-free is going to enter the palace today. He said that there was a dinner party, and he couldn't come until tomorrow. ”
Fu Ying hugged the little white cat with a candied fruit in his mouth. "It's better if he doesn't come, and I'll be quiet if he doesn't come."
"Oh? That's right. Song squinted at his beloved daughter, "I'll go back to discipline and don't worry, lest he always bother you." ”
"Mother!" Fu Ying took Song's hand and shook it.
Seeing this, Song couldn't help laughing, hugged Fu Ying and said: "You can have a good home now, it was something that my mother never dreamed of, people treat you well without worry, you must also be good to others wholeheartedly, don't be petty at every turn." ”
"How can I have a little sex?"
"Don't let the little child still let the family learn to cook with a guard? Every day, I take the trouble to let people cook, and my mother can't watch it. That's Prince Xiang, the baby bump of the Great Zhou Emperor! ”
"He is the prince, and he is also the Ah Cuo I know."
Song nodded Fu Ying's forehead helplessly, "It's really oil and salt that don't enter, you stinky girl." ”
Having said that, he was really happy for Fu Ying. Thinking about Fu Minchu, who had fallen ill again, Song's brows furrowed again.
"Mother, don't worry, the fifth brother is a good person, and good people will be rewarded."
As if in response to her words, the sugar ball in her arms also "meowed".
Song pinched her daughter's cheeks, which were becoming more and more watery, and sighed complicatedly.
There was only a heavy snowfall yesterday, and it was good for some people to clean up the city, but when you left the city, you could see that the snow on the road was very thick, and the snow that had fallen earlier was also frozen and uneven, and the carriage was walking slowly, and it was very difficult to move.
Twenty miles out of the city, surrounded by a busy snowfield, the distant mountains were also covered with a layer of snow blanket, Fu Ying was lifting the curtain to look out, suddenly only felt that the carriage vibrated violently, and then his body tilted to the side with the carriage.
The horses neighed, the servants and maids exclaimed, and even the candy balls in their arms meowed and screamed.
Song's eyes quickly grabbed Fu Ying and was about to go out, but her reaction and strength were insufficient, and the two of them still fell heavily on the wall of the carriage that overturned on its side.
The enamel hand stove in Fu Ying's arms was thrown out, and he slipped around on the ground a few times, but fortunately he didn't throw all the charcoal out.
"Oh, mother, are you okay?"
Fu Ying approached and flipped to the side, no doubt making a meat pad.
"I'm fine, how are you? Did it smash you? ”
"Princess, ma'am, are you all right?"
The men also subdued the fallen horses, but fortunately the coachmen were well trained, and the horses were specially trained, and they did not run wild because the carriage overturned.
Zhenyu, Comb Yun, and Skimming Moon lifted the curtain and pulled the Song family out first. Then came to help Fu Ying.
Who knew that at this moment, there was a sudden shouting of men outside. Song looked back, and there were more than a dozen bearded men with long knives, rushing over from the woods like black bears.
"Ahh It's a mountain bandit! ”
"Run!"
The convoy that was forced to stop exploded all of a sudden, and some fled privately, such as Jiang Mama's first-class team, and there were also those who focused on protecting the master, such as Ruiyue and Zhenyu and others.
Song was in a hurry, and hurriedly took Fu Ying's hand: "Yingying, come out quickly!" ”
Fu Ying's painful "ah" screamed in pain, and this movement hurt as if it had broken off the right shoulder that had just hit the carriage wall.
Song's face turned pale when she heard her painful cry: "Are you injured?" ”
"It's okay, I'm fine." Her right hand hung down at her side, completely unable to exert her strength, and swayed back and forth as she climbed out of the carriage.
Song felt a little relieved, and ran away with Fu Ying's uninjured left hand: "That should be dislocated, run for your life first!" ”
Zhenyu and the others also followed behind the Song family, and ran effortlessly along the snowy and slippery road in the direction of Shengjing City.
There were already families in the courtyard who rushed up to meet the bearded men who were roaring, but those people were strong in martial arts, and they were not ready to leave alive when they rounded the steel knife, and in the blink of an eye, blood splattered, and two people had already fallen.
Fu Ying was wearing a big cloak of honey color, her left hand was tightly pulled by the Song family, running the ice and snow road, the hood had already been bumped off, the hairpin ring was loose, and her long hair was scattered, she wanted to lift the skirt, but her right arm did not obey the call, and swayed with the bumps of the run, and cold sweat broke out on her forehead.
"Haunting, hold on, run!"
Song held her hand stiffly, wishing that she could escape from heaven and earth. A frightened scream came from behind, and when he turned around, he saw two palace maids not far away buried under the knife, bleeding on the spot.
And the man who chased after him was covered with a mask of fangs and ghosts, and he was actually a light feat, and two or three ups and downs came to him, and he slashed at Shan Xing with a knife.
Blood splattered on the spot.
Immediately, miserable screams came one after another, and Fu Ying already felt that his heartbeat did not belong to him, and he couldn't even feel the pain in his shoulder. This was the first time she understood what purgatory on earth was. White snow, red blood, and the harvest of human life seem like pulling out a weed in the eyes of these people!
"Mother, these people are not bandits!"
"What nonsense, don't run yet!"
"We can't run away, mother!"
Looking back, the ghost-faced man had come to the front, and the horizontal knife was slashing
Song pushed Fu Ying hard: "Run, don't look back!" He stopped and stopped the ghost-faced man, "Who are you, what are you going to do at me!" (To be continued......)
