When Xiao Shiji and Du Xiancheng were having wine, Du Hengxue had already sent Fang Yuniang back to Xu's house.

Xu Yanchao thought about it again and again, and said to Du Hengxue: "Second sister, can you not tell the second brother about this matter for the time being?" ”

Du Hengxue saw that Xu Yanchao still called himself "second sister" instead of "second sister-in-law", so he knew that he should still recognize his sisters, so he didn't want to force him too much, nodded and said: "Think about it yourself, I won't say it first." ”

Back at Xu's house, Xu Yanchao didn't talk to anyone about it.

Seeing that Xu Yanchao didn't say a word, Fang Yanniang swallowed the whole thing in her stomach.

Du Hengshuang listened to Du Hengxue's words, and he didn't say anything to anyone for the time being.

Within a few days, Xu Yanchao proposed that the Xu family could be separated.

Xu Shao has a total of three sons, all of whom are sisters-in-law. It's just that the eldest and second are born with the original match, and the third Xu Yanchao is born by filling in the house.

Later, the second Xu Yanbang came out again, and there were only two sons, Xu Yanhui and Xu Yanchao. There are also two concubines who married far away, and this time the funeral also came back and left.

So if you want to split the family, that is, Xu Yanhui and Xu Yanchao will be separated.

Xu Yanhui is the eldest son, and now he is the successor Jing Zhaoyin, and his power is not ordinary.

But he refused to let people say that he bullied his widow and weak brother, and when he divided the family property, he was extremely generous to Xu Yanchao.

Except for the ancestral property that can only be inherited by the eldest son, he gave more than half of the other Xu family's property to Xu Yanchao.

Xu Yanchao actually has silver, except for the private property that Xu Shao gave him before. There is also the dowry left to him by Fang Yanniang, as well as the dividends given to him by Du Hengshuang, in terms of net worth alone, it is no worse than Xu Yanhui.

Moreover, his wife Xiahou Wushuang was originally the small lord of Xiahou's family, and a single dowry was incredible, so there was no need for Xu Yanhui to take care of him in terms of money.

Xu Yanchao persuaded Xu Yanhui to divide only one-third of the family property, but he proposed to go out and hoped that Xu Yanhui could support him.

Xu Yanbang is a military general from the army. Xu Yanhui is a civil official. Xu Yanchao has a small position, but it is an idle job for the children of the scholar clan, and he has no real power at all.

Xu Yanchao felt that he could no longer do nothing. Rely on your brother's snort to live.

Xu Yanchao wants to move forward. Of course, Xu Yanhui was willing to help him.

As a result, the brothers separated smoothly.

Soon Xu Yanchao moved out of the Xu family's mansion in Jingzhao Yin Mansion with his wife, children and mother-in-law. I moved to a big house I bought.

He is not short of money, and the house is certainly no worse than the Xu family's mansion.

And without Xu Yanhui's family, they live as a family. Naturally, it is more spacious than in the Xu family's mansion.

Xu Yanhui found another errand for Xu Yanchao, which was of the same grade as his previous official position, but he had real power, and it was not ordinary real power.

Xu Yanchao suddenly had a goal to strive for, getting up early and greedy every day, going to the yamen to deal with official affairs, and learning from the various experiences of his predecessors.

When he came back from the yamen in the evening, he would definitely accompany Fang Yuniang to dinner, tell her what happened during the day, and ask the servants at home if they had made the old lady angry.

His wife Xiahou Wushuang also did her best to serve Fang Yuniang, and took her children to accompany Fang Yuniang to laugh every day, not letting her be left alone.

But with such diligent care, Xu Yanchao also sensitively discovered that Fang Yuniang was getting older day by day.

Although he used to be a little old, he was much younger than a woman of the same age, and his black hair was more eye-catching than that of young people.

But in the past two months, Fang Yuniang's hair has unconsciously become gray, the wrinkles on her face are deeper, and the corners of her eyes are simply dense crow's feet, compared with before the separation, she looks ten years older.

It's only been two months!

Xu Yanchao was also silent. He didn't dare to go to see Fang Yuniang again, every day Fang Yuniang fell asleep, and then went to sit in his mother's yard, asked the maid and mother-in-law, and saw how his mother was doing this day.

And Fang Yuniang is also getting thinner and thinner day by day.

Xiahou Wushuang looked at the silent estrangement between the mother and son, and felt very uncomfortable.

If it weren't for Du Xiancheng coming back, how good would their family be......

"Yan Dynasty, your sister really uses people to face forward, and doesn't need people to face backwards. I used to rely on the Xu family to get these many benefits. As soon as her father-in-law died, she never came to the door again, and her brother-in-law dared to commit murder in our backyard immediately. Is...... If it weren't for your own sister, I wouldn't have anything good to say. Xiahou complained without a second word.

Xu Yanchao did not appreciate it. He straightened his face and said to Xiahou Wushuang: "This matter has nothing to do with you, don't talk too much." My sister has never received any benefit from the Xu family. Although I hate my brother-in-law...... Reckless, but it has nothing to do with my sister, don't be angry with her. ”

For so many years, Du Hengshuang's care and love for him is not fake. Although they are not born by the same father, they are destined to have a continuous blood relationship.

Touching a nail, Xiahou Wushuang was a little annoyed and angry. She didn't know the life-and-death feud between Xu Shao and Xiao Xiangsheng, nor did she know that Xu Shao's death was forced by Xiao Shiji, and she didn't know that Xu Yanchao and Fang Yanniang were depressed because of Du Xiancheng's matter, so she was very aggrieved and sullen. Unexpectedly, the next day, I quietly packed up my things and took my three children back to my mother's house in Dingzhou.

When she left, she only left a letter for Xu Yanchao. It wasn't until Xu Yanchao came back from the yamen that he knew that Lu Dao's wife had returned to her parents' house with her son and daughter.

Xu Yanchao was even more angry, angry with Xiahou Wushuang and angry with himself.

He went to see Fang Yuniang.

Fang Yuniang sat alone in the house and played the ropes, beating one, dismantling one, beating countless ones, dismantling countless ones. She didn't talk to anyone, she just sat there alone and dismantled and dismantled, very focused, as if there was nothing else in the world that deserved her attention.

Seeing that Xu Yanchao didn't come over again after she fell asleep this time, Fang Yanniang put down the veil in her hand and asked with a smile, "What's wrong?" Is there something going on in the yamen? If you don't understand something, go to your sister or brother-in-law and ask. They are all connoisseurs. ”

Xu Yanchao sat sullenly in front of Fang Yuniang, picked up the teacup and took a sip.

Fang Yuniang said again: "What about Wushuang? And what about Brother Yu'er? I haven't seen them here today. ”

Since that day I came back from the Zhuguo Mansion. Xu Yanchao didn't mention Du Xiancheng's matter, and Fang Yuniang was much more silent, and she no longer went out to walk around.

Before the separation, she stayed in the inner courtyard of Jingzhao Yin Mansion and didn't come out, but after the separation, she lived in the courtyard prepared for her by Xu Yanchao, and she didn't go anywhere, she wanted to imprison herself.

Only then did Xu Yanchao realize how deep his mother's feelings for Du Xiancheng were.

This kind of feeling is not even understood by herself. It's just that she gradually manifested herself day by day.

used to be a husband and wife with Xu Shao for decades, no matter whether Xu Shao was good or bad to her. She had never been so depressed.

Here it is. The difference between a couple with feelings and a couple without feelings.

Xu Yanchao is not a child anymore, after the initial anger, he gradually understood the feelings and involvement between his mother and Du Xiancheng.

Although some people are "only seeing newcomers laughing." I don't hear the old man crying. "But there are also people. It's "better than new." People are not as good as they are old".

Xu Yanchao also began to be silent.

A few days later, Du Hengshuang went to Xu Yanchao's yamen to find him and said to him: "Yanchao." It doesn't matter if you don't see me, it doesn't matter if you don't let my mother see me. But my father is leaving Chang'an, and you can't keep your mother locked up. I must let my mother see my father's last side. You have to know that they are married couples. ”

Xu Yanchao was very surprised, "Du ...... Mr. Du is leaving Chang'an? Where to? ”

"It's none of your business. You just have to remember to take my mother to the dock tomorrow to give my father a ride. I beg you, I haven't begged anyone a few times in my life, but this time, you must help......" Du Hengshuang wiped his tears with a handkerchief.

Daddy came in a hurry and returned in defeat, Du Hengshuang felt the most uncomfortable. She really wanted to tie up her mother and stuff her father into her father's boat.

But if she does this, neither her mother nor her father will forgive her.

She has to learn to respect, to respect the will of others.

Xu Yanchao pursed his lips and nodded slowly, "What time?" I'll take my mother there. ”

Du Hengshuang barely showed a smile, "Tomorrow." My father's ship is about to set sail. ”

"Child? Isn't that the middle of the night? Why walk in the middle of the night? Xu Yanchao was even more surprised.

"Anyway, it's going to go, when is it different?" Du Hengshuang was a little sneering. In fact, she knew that her father set sail when he decided to have a son, because she didn't want to embarrass Fang Yuniang. Quietly left, even if it was too late for her to know the truth.

It's just that Du Hengshuang refused, she always felt that even if her mother chose her younger brother Xu Yanchao and refused to go with her father, she should still send it away.

Even if you can't be a husband and wife, but you have always had two children together, why do you have to do it so badly?

Xu Yanchao did not speak again.

On this day, he returned home early and accompanied Fang Yuniang to dinner.

During the meal, because no one else was there, Xu Yanchao casually asked about Fang Yuniang's situation when she married Du Xiancheng.

This time she actually opened Fang Yuniang's chatterbox, and she talked for two hours until it was dark.

Seeing the maid come in to take charge of the lamp, Fang Yuniang said apologetically: "Ah, really, people are old, nagging, and they have been talking for so long." ”

Xu Yanchao smiled and said gently: "It's okay." He asked Fang Yuniang again, "What about my father?" "The question is about the situation after Fang Yuniang married Xu Shao. He thought that he and Du Xiancheng had only been married for a few years, and they could talk for two hours. After decades of talking to Xu Shao, I will definitely be able to talk about it......

As a result, Fang Yuniang thought about it and ended everything in three sentences, "Master? He is outside the Lord, and I am in the Lord. ”

Xu Yanchao wanted to vomit blood. But he couldn't say that Fang Yuniang was cold, or that she was not right. Because Xu Shao has indeed always been like the other party's concubine, the relationship between husband and wife is very indifferent, and she intentionally or unintentionally connived at the two brothers in the inner courtyard to balance her. If Xu Shao was still alive, Xu Yanchao would complain that his father was too indifferent to his mother......

The problem is, Xu Shao is dead. Death seems to be in Xu Yanchao's heart, making everything about Xu Shao beautiful, making him forget the bits and pieces of so many years for a while.

Xu Yanchao looked at Fang Yanniang's dignified demeanor, and finally made up his mind, and asked tentatively: "Mother, Old Man Du, I'm going to set sail back today." Do you want to send him off? ”

"What? He's leaving? Fang Yuniang was startled, her hands trembled uncontrollably, and she splashed a bowl of soup on her skirt.

Xu Yan stood up at Huo Di and called someone in. "Change the old lady's clothes, prepare the carriage and horses, and I will take the old lady out of the city." He had a pair of cards to walk outside after the curfew, which was given to him by Xu Yanhui, originally in case of emergency.

The next person is busy and busy.

Just when the time difference was a moment, Xu Yanchao took Fang Yuniang to the dock where Du Xiancheng was about to set sail.

There are many people who come to see Du Xiancheng, but they are all Xiao Shi and his family.

Even the big-bellied poop, the sister who is about to give birth is here.

Xiao Shiji and Du Hengshuang stood at the forefront. There was also Sister An, who came from Qinzhou, with her children, and her husband Chai Erlang standing next to them.

Du Hengxue and Xu Yanbang stood at the back.

Behind are Brother Ping and Sister Zheng. There are Brother Yang, Brother Cheng, and Brother Xin next to it.

Xu Yanchao helped Fang Yuniang get out of the carriage.

And they heard that another carriage was coming. When I looked back, I found that it was Xu Yanchao who came with Fang Yuniang, and they all got out of the way.

Du Hengshuang and Du Hengxue finally looked a little pale.

Fang Yuniang hurriedly walked forward without squinting and came to Du Xiancheng's side. Looking up at him and asking, "Are you leaving?" ”

Du Xiancheng nodded. "Hmm. It's been delayed for more than two months. If I don't leave, Shuang'er and Shi and they won't be able to go to Luoyang to take up their duties. ”

Fang Yuniang reached out and took out a veil from her sleeve pocket and hung it on Du Xiancheng's waist. "I've been thinking about it for a long time, but I don't know what Lu Dao will send you to think. This network was promised to you in the early years, and it has only been done now, so you can take it with you. While you are still alive, marry a wife, have a son, and don't live alone on the island. This day, no matter how you live it, it's a lifetime, and you don't have to feel guilty anymore. I've had a good life in my life, and I'll be doing well with you or not. ”

As he spoke, his face was full of tears, and in the moonlight, he shone like a crystal pearl.

Du Xiancheng raised his hand to wipe her tears, and said in a deep voice: "I know, I will." You're going to live a good life, too. I have sons and grandchildren, be kind to my daughter-in-law, and don't be an evil mother-in-law. ”

Although he said this, everyone present could hear that he would never marry someone else again in his life. His words were just to appease Fang Yuniang.

Fang Yuniang could also hear it, but she couldn't help but think too much.

Xu Yanchao finally couldn't stand it anymore, he stepped forward, held Fang Yanniang's arm, and said to Du Xiancheng: "Uncle Du, I handed my mother over to you." You have to take good care of my mother, tell me where you live, I will visit my mother every year to make sure that she follows you, eats well, lives well, and is not deceived by you. ”

"Yan Dynasty!"

"Yan Dynasty!"

"Yan Dynasty!"

Xiao Shiji, Du Hengshuang and Du Hengxue called out at the same time.

They never expected that Xu Yanchao would change his mind and agree that Fang Yuniang would follow Du Xiancheng away!

Fang Yuniang and Du Xiancheng were also stupid, they looked at Xu Yanchao blankly, not knowing if he was joking or serious.

Xu Yanchao didn't want to watch this pair of people, who were more than a hundred years old together, spend the rest of their lives in regret. Maybe the rest of their lives, there are no more years. He couldn't be so selfish, watching his mother gradually disappear after Du Xiancheng left.

Mother can think about him and don't go with Du Xiancheng, he, as a son, should also think about his mother and let her live a comfortable life for a few years. Otherwise, is his filial piety fake?

"However, the Xu family's ......" Fang Yuniang was surprised and delighted. Xu Yanchao was able to think about it and took the initiative to let her follow Du Xiancheng, of course she was happy, but the Xu family's side was not easy to explain.

"Mother, don't worry, I have my own way." Xu Yanchao smiled.

Du Xiancheng thought about it, asked Fang Yuniang to get on the boat first, and then asked Xu Yanchao, "What do you want to do?" ”

Xu Yanchao said: "I will hold a funeral for the 'Cheshire Lord', and I will say that the 'Cheshire Lord' misses his deceased husband and has passed away." - And so they rejoiced. ”

Du Xiancheng noticed that he was talking about "Lord Cheshire", not Fang Yuniang, understood his intentions, and patted him on the shoulder, "Thank you." We are on the island to the east. There is an address there, you can come whenever you want, we are always waiting. ”

"Will definitely go. I will send my mother's private room. Xu Yanchao arched his hand and watched Du Xiancheng get on the boat.

The boat pulled up its sails and gradually departed.

The people on the shore waved goodbye together.

On the big boat, Du Xiancheng told the other lady about Xu Yanchao's arrangements and asked her: "Girl, you really don't mind?" Not taboo? ”

Fang Yuniang smiled softly: "Of course not, it is the Cheshire Lord who died, and it is none of my business." I'm Fang Yuniang. Fang Yuniang and Du Xiancheng are married and will spend the rest of their lives together. ”

After she changed her surname to Chai, she was changed to the name "Chai Eying" on the Xu family tree. Therefore, Xu Yanchao's funeral for the "Lord of Cheshire" is not her business at all in Fang Yuniang's opinion.

What the Xu family is willing to worship is the "Lord of Cheshire", not her concubine.

She didn't know anything about the county lord of Rausch at all.
