149 Closing the net
What is won back is freedom, but what is lost is life, how can Fang Fei not know this?
What Fang Geng was worried about, she had already thought about it thousands of times, but if she was imprisoned in the high-walled compound of the Zhao family in this life, lonely and old, what was the point of her being reborn and returning? She didn't want to seek revenge from anyone, nor did she want to dominate the Zhao family, all she wanted was the happiness of ordinary people.
If she doesn't leave the Zhao family, everything she asks for is an illusion, and rebirth has lost its meaning, the Zhao family, she must leave.
Fang Fei turned around, sighed softly, word by word, and said clearly and affirmatively: "Uncle Geng, putting death and living later, this is the only way for me to leave the Zhao family." ”
"But big girl, we can't afford to lose!" Fang Geng grabbed her tightly, "Let's think of other ways, the days are still long, there will be an appropriate time in the future, don't be in a hurry at this time." ”
"Uncle Geng, I have made up my mind, and I don't want to stay in the Zhao family for a moment." Fang Fei's eyelids drooped, he sighed helplessly, and said: "Chen Yu already knows the relationship between us and Fang Luo, he must have hated me at this moment, and I was indeed ignorant back then, if God doesn't have mercy, it will be regarded as me who used this life to repay Chen Yu, hoping to dissipate his anger, Ah Pei is going to embark on a career in the future, I can't let him ruin his future because of me, and the Fang family is still waiting for him to revive the lintel." ”
Fang Pei is the only male in the Fang family, and over the years, Fang Fei has been working hard to cultivate him, just to let him study hard, gain fame, and glorify his ancestors in the future and revitalize the Fang family.
But Chen Yu has always held a grudge against the old things back then. Now the situation in the DPRK and China, the Chen family can be said to be very prosperous, Fang Pei wants to embark on a career in the future, he will inevitably deal with the Chen family, and he can't let himself become a stumbling block on his younger brother's career path.
Fang Geng frowned tightly, and weakly loosened the sleeve of Fang Fei's shirt that was tugging in his hand, perhaps, it was right that he shouldn't have stopped the fourth prince from killing Chen Yu a few days ago.
That day, in the dense forest at the foot of Fang Mountain, Chen Yu was half asleep. I vaguely heard the conversation between Fang Geng and the Four Princes. And the dagger that Fang Fei fell on the bed was a relic of the mother of the four princes, and the four princes cherished it and never left it. Now it was given to Fang Fei. The secret behind this. It can well be imagined.
"The eldest prince? Are you sure you want to do this? Cheng Qi held the letterhead in his hand and glanced at Chen Yu cautiously.
The content of the letter was enough for the people of the Zhao family to put Fang Fei to death. No one from a family would spare a woman in the family to elope with someone.
Cheng Qi had many questions in his heart, his eldest son risked his life to break into the epidemic area to save Fang Fei, but now he is here again, what does it mean, his son-in-law has been arrogant since he was a child, he is used to being held high and being held, Fang Fei is the only accident in his life.
He grew up with Chen Yu, accompanied him to the battlefield to kill the enemy, knowing his son's character of retribution, Fang Fei's thorn has been pierced too deep in Chen Yu's heart for too long, this time he finally made up his mind to completely remove the thorn with the flesh and skin?
Chen Yu sat in the chair with his feet tilted over, his feet overlapped on the long case in front of him, his eyes kept staring at the dagger he was playing with, and said coldly: "Have you arranged everything?" ”
"The arrangements are ready, as long as the four princes dare to show up, they will not escape." Cheng Qi nodded, and after speaking, he asked his son-in-law with some concern: "Eldest son, do you need to send someone to ...... there?"
"Not necessarily." Chen Yu interrupted categorically.
Cheng Qi chuckled in his heart, looked at his son-in-law carefully, and said secretly: "Eldest son, don't regret it in the future......
The sun sets and the moon rises, day and night alternate, it is in the middle of the month, the bright moon is in the sky, the stars are dotted, walking on the night road, the moonlight shines a clear shadow, even if you don't mention the lantern, you can see the road clearly.
The mourning hall in the front yard is brightly lit, the monks who chant the scriptures and the Zhao family who are responsible for guarding the spirits are in the front yard, and the people who kneel during the day go back to the backyard to rest, Grandma Song and Lu Siqi's mother-in-law and daughter-in-law have been busy all day, and they fell asleep early, and the whole backyard is quiet, except for the sound of summer insects, there is no movement.
Zhou's mother was put down by a pack of 'sweat medicine', and now she was lying on the couch in the second room to sleep peacefully, Fang Fei changed her body and played short, empty-handed, after coming out of the inner room, she gently closed the door of the outer room, and turned into the boundless night.
This night is destined to be sleepless.
When I came to the ferry upstream, the hour had passed, and the shore was quiet, only the sound of the river was roaring.
Fang Fei combed his sideburns on his head, his forehead was covered with thin broken hair, under his long eyebrows, a pair of bright apricot eyes were bright, and after walking into the thatched pavilion on the edge of the ferry, he was next to the pillar in the corner of the grass pavilion, hanging his legs in the air, sitting on the bank with his back against the corner pillar, his hands in his arms, and looking at the river that would never return in a daze.
This sitting is the whole night.
As she expected, she couldn't wait for the person who said that he wanted to take her to the other side of the sea to see, and all the time she was accompanied by the faint smell of the river breeze and the rushing river.
Dongfang had just revealed the white of the fish's belly, and Grandma Song, who had woken up from her sleep, looked at the note in her hand, broke out in a cold sweat, thought about it, and immediately called someone to come in to change her clothes, and took her close maid out of Tonghua Courtyard, and rushed straight towards Fang Fei's Green Jade Xuan.
Before dawn, the courtyard door of Green Jade Xuan was slammed, and the mother-in-law behind the door yawned and got up, rubbed her eyes and scolded and opened the door.
"Where's Madame Tai?" Grandma Song has never been a sloppy person, even if she came in a hurry, she also wore delicate makeup on her face, and her two long eyebrows were straight, which meant that she wanted to 'raise her eyebrows'.
The woman looked down at the ground and replied, "In the house...... Mrs. Tai won't get up so early, why don't you come over to say hello later? ”
"Let's go!" Grandma Song ignored her, gave an order, and strode directly to a row of wings by the lake on the opposite side of the stone bridge.
Now that the ancestor is gone, there is no one to support Fang Fei, and it is not the right time for Fang Fei to be sick again, and the power of the family has fallen into the hands of Lu Siqi, the daughter-in-law of Grandma Song. Green Yuxuan is not what it used to be, the mother-in-law was frightened by Grandma Song's posture, and she didn't dare to follow to see the excitement, so she had to retract into the small room behind the door.
Grandma Song came over with a lot of people, and the mother-in-law who came forward to call the door just patted it, and the door of the wing room opened by itself, and Grandma Song hesitated for a moment, and broke into the house with someone without hesitation.
The candlesticks in the house were all lit, and suddenly the lights were bright. Bright as day. swept out of the bedroom, and went to the small study opposite, there was no one else in this room except for Zhou's mother who was sleeping peacefully on the chaise longue in the east room.
Grandma Song glanced at her mother-in-law beside her. The woman nodded knowingly. He shouted to her a few times. pushed Zhou's mother a few more times, but she still slept soundly and didn't react. The mother-in-law picked up the kettle on the table, poured a full cup of cold tea, and splashed it directly on Zhou's mother's head.
"Ahh
Mother Zhou waved her arms and woke up from her sleep, and when she saw the posture in front of her, she was stunned, so surprised that she forgot that she should come forward to ask for peace, glanced at the dark sky outside the gate, and asked in a daze: "Grandma, it's not dawn yet, what do you mean by bringing so many people to Mrs. Tai's place?" ”
"What do you mean? I want to ask you, where did Fang Fei and the others go? Grandma Song asked coldly on the side.
"Mrs. Tai......" Mother Zhou thought for a while, raised her hand and pointed to the inner room, and replied with some uncertainty: "At this hour, Mrs. Tai is naturally sleeping, where else can she go......"
"See for yourself!"
Grandma Song suddenly burst into a shout, smashed the note in her hand into Zhou's mother's face, and instructed her mother-in-law: "Go to the front yard and call twenty housekeepers, follow me to chase them!" ”
As soon as he finished speaking, he flicked his long sleeves and went out with people in a hurry.
After reading the note, Zhou's mother couldn't close her mouth for a long time, and when she reacted, she even crawled down from the couch, and she didn't even care about wearing shoes, so she stumbled and rushed to the inner room.
The one qiē in the house is as usual, there is nothing more, nothing is missing, the quilt on the bed is still the same as she was after she folded it yesterday morning, and the one qiē in the house has not changed at all, but the owner of the house is gone.
Mother Zhou's heart was pounding, she raised her hand to wipe her tears, turned around and rushed out of the house.
Grandma Song had already assembled, with a team of family members, holding torches and going out from the corner gate, Zhou's mother finally caught up, but was twisted and sent back, handed over to the people on the corner gate to take care of, before Grandma Song came back, she was not allowed to leave the concierge half a step.
"Grandma, do you want to go to Grandma Da Shao and say something?" The mother-in-law beside Grandma Song reminded that Lu Siqi is now the head of the Zhao family, and it is impossible to let her know about such a big matter.
"No, you don't." Grandma Song stopped and said, "Siqi's child has always been soft-hearted, and she has been heartbroken about the affairs of the family in the past few days, and I, as a mother-in-law, can bear this matter for her, so there is no need to alarm her." ”
For this daughter-in-law, Grandma Song likes it from the bottom of her heart, if Zhao Rongzhao can win the championship in one fell swoop, the Zhao family is bound to regain its strength, whether Zhao Rongzhao is in Beijing or goes to other provinces, Lu Siqi is a legitimate housewife, if it is known that she has a grandmother of the same age as her, it will be a big joke, she can't let her daughter-in-law become a laughing stock.
From Zhao's house to the ferry port upstream, it will take less than half an hour to arrive.
The sky was gray, the white of the fish belly exposed in the east tore off the thick night curtain, the sky gradually brightened, the early fishing boats had come out of the water, and on the wide river, the thick fog was like a curtain hanging from the sky, and the shadows were full of shadows, covering the entire river.
The cold wind in the early morning blew away the fog in the sky, Fang Fei sat on the pillar in the corner of the grass pavilion, squinted, and looked at the river after the thick fog dissipated.
Above the ferry is an endless stream of reeds, spreading upstream along the river bank, more than two people high, it is early summer, the reeds sprout, green and shiny, verdant, the river reflects the emerald green on the bank, close to the shore, the river is rendered into a ethereal blue, bottomless.
A dusty figure hurried out of the town and walked near the ferry, but he got into the reeds, and soon there was a shaking on the reed's head, spreading forward, and gradually deeper, like a small snake riding the wind and waves, shuttling through the verdant sea, swimming towards the highest point in the whole reed.
"Eldest son, the people of the Zhao family will come over soon." In the early morning, the reed leaves were full of dewdrops, and the branches and leaves came all the way, Cheng Qi's clothes were wet, sticky and sticky to his body, cold and biting, but he didn't shiver.
"Got it." In the morning mist, Chen Yu stood with his hands in his hands, standing on a high hill covered with reeds, like a king looking down on the whole ferry.
"The eldest prince ......" Cheng Qi glanced at him cautiously, and stopped talking, and only after half a sound did he hold back a sentence: "The people of the Zhao family will definitely not spare Miss Fang, do you need to go over and report a message?" ”
Fang Fei ran out without permission, and he was at the ferry, except for eloping with someone, he couldn't find a better explanation, plus the note in Grandma Song's hand, this time Fang Fei was in a catastrophe, and now that the people of the Zhao family have not arrived, it is not too late to inform her to leave.
"Not necessarily." Before he finished speaking, he was coldly interrupted by Chen Yu, "The fourth prince may have been lurking around here, keep an eye on it, and never go on any errands." ”
"Yes." Cheng Qi responded, stood behind Chen Yu, and inspected the entire reed forest with his eyes.
After a stick of incense, the sky was already bright, and a team of families dressed in green clothes escorted a blue sedan chair out of the town and walked straight to the edge of the ferry.
At the same time, a tiny, tiny whirlpool opened somewhere in the reed forest, rippling towards the edge of the reed forest.
At this time, the wind cleared and the fog dispersed, and this slight movement was very obvious in the reeds that were as still as water, Chen Yu's eyes flashed with a gleam, and he raised his hand to make a gesture to Cheng Qi behind him, and said, "Close the net!" With that, the long whip in his sleeve flicked, turned around and burrowed into the reed forest behind him.
Cheng Qi frowned, took one last look at the back of Fang Fei, who was sitting on the edge of the pavilion against the pillar in the grass pavilion, let out a long sigh, and followed into the reeds.
On the side of the ferry, there is a wide pontoon bridge with wooden planks, there are too many people coming from the other side, the sound is huge, the footsteps of bangbang bang bang resounded through the ferry, and after patrolling around the ferry, go straight to the grass pavilion at the top.
The sedan curtain was lifted, and Grandma Song, who had exquisite makeup, leaned on her waist, elegantly came out of the sedan chair, and took the people of the Zhao family to step on the road lying on the water, and the long line marched towards the grass pavilion. (To be continued......)
