Chapter 72
Hearing the news that his daughter was accused of being given to the generous and generous Fu Tuanlian, Xu Shunhe's mood was extremely complicated, and there was no joy among them.
He was silent for a while, and suddenly asked Xu Tinghe: "Big brother, what about our family?" β
Xu Tinghe was very busy, pretending not to hear the three words "our family" in his brother's words, and took the time to reply: "Cancan is taking a bath at Yilian!" β
Xu Shunhe was silent for a while, he thought about it and decided to take his wife and daughter Cancan home early.
The carriage stopped outside Xu Fuyi's door, and Biyun helped Xu Cancan get out of the carriage.
Xu Cancan was just about to squat down to salute Xu Tinghe, but before Lu Dao squatted down, he was supported by Xu Tinghe.
Xu Tinghe's handsome face was full of smiles: "Cancan, in the near future, Uncle can't say that he will give you a salute!" β
Xu Cancan: "Uncle ......" is too explicit, right?!
Seeing the happy appearance of the uncle, Xu Cancan decided to dare to make a very urgent request: "Uncle, I want to wash up first!" "Her body still stinks, how can she be embarrassed to see people?
Xu Tinghe readily agreed: "Go to Yilian's room to wash!" β
He personally took Xu Cancan to the Lotus Fragrance Courtyard.
Xu Yilian was embroidering in the room, listened to her father's words, slowly put down the embroidery work, looked at Xu Cancan with a somewhat complicated expression, and said, "Congratulations to the second sister!" β
Xu Cancan didn't know what to say, he just smiled and didn't speak.
Xu Yilian lowered her head to sort out her thoughts for a while, and when she raised her head, she was already full of smiles: "Dad, second sister, sit down and rest first!" β
Xu Tinghe said with a smile: "Yilian, you accompany your second sister first, and go to your grandmother to report the good news for your father!" β
Xu Tinghe soon left.
Xu Cancan and Xu Yilian sat at opposite ends of the kang table, both a little silent.
Xu Cancan felt that this ecstasy was too abrupt, and he couldn't believe it, so he was at a loss, and there were no words.
Xu Yilian didn't expect that Xu Cancan, who was brushed down in the first round of the draft, was actually accused of being Fu Tuanlian's wife, she couldn't believe it was true, and the sulkness in her chest was one after another, and she was about to suffocate her!
At this time, Xu Yilian's eldest maid Liuying took the little maid Liushui to serve the freshly brewed tea. Xu Cancan and Xu Yilian finally found something to do, and took the teacup together, lifted the lid of the teacup and flicked the tea leaves that floated up.
After taking two sips of tea, Xu Cancan said, "Third sister, can I borrow your bathroom for a while?" β
She was afraid that Xu Yilian would refuse, so she added: "I'll just take a shower!" β
Xu Yilian's emotions had already adjusted, and she smiled gently: "Of course you can!" Go, go, my sister can't ask for it! β
Xu Cancan thanked him first, and then instructed Biyun: "Go to the old lady and get me a change of clothes!" β
"Don't bother!" Xu Yilian said with a smile: "I have the clothes I just made here that have only been washed and not worn, there are dresses and underwear, the second sister will take them and wear them first!" β
Today is unusually hot, Xu Cancan felt that the clothes were all attached to his body, and he was uncomfortable to death, hearing her say this, he was happy in his heart, so he got up and said: "Xie Lu Xie Third Sister!" β
When he was the only one left in the bathroom, Xu Cancan relaxed. She was so happy that she wanted to scream, she wanted to shout - she was going to marry Fu Yuchen! She is about to become Fu Yuchen's wife!
But she still sensibly reached out to cover her mouth, and held back a scream of joy that almost erupted.
Biyun has already mixed hot and cold water.
Xu Cancan quickly finished taking a shower.
Xu Yilian's clothes are not suitable for her, the bandeau is too tight, the narrow-sleeved shirt is slightly loose, and the skirt waist is also a little loose, but there is a belt to tie it tighter!
Xu Cancan came out of the bathroom and saw Xu Yitong as soon as he arrived in the hall.
Xu Yitong heard Xu Yilian say that Xu Cancan was pointed out to Fu Tuanlian, and he was uncomfortable, and when he saw Xu Cancan come out, his big eyes cut like a knife. But no matter how she looked at it, she couldn't find Xu Cancan's obvious flaws. Retracting her gaze stupidly, she squeezed out a smile: "Congratulations to the second sister!" β
Xu Cancan looked at Xu Yitong and didn't smile, but he didn't care.
She has officially owned Fu Yuchen, and at this time she is extremely broad-minded, and she doesn't care about these little unpleasantness at all.
Xu Cancan sat on the couch, thinking about Fu Yuchen's good-looking face, and couldn't help but smile.
Xu Yitong saw the smile on Xu Cancan's face, and was jealous and hateful in his heart, so he said, "Second sister, let's go to Chunhui Courtyard!" β
She thought that others could not see it, and pursed her lips, and said, "Grandmother, second uncle and second aunt are afraid that they are crazy with joy!" β
Xu Cancan glanced at her and said lightly: "I don't know if my father and mother are happy or not, but my uncle is really crazy with joy!" β
Xu Yitong was furious when she heard this, and her big eyes flashed with anger and glared at her.
Xu Cancan looked at her not to be outdone.
Xu Yitong clenched his fists, took a deep breath, and finally suppressed the anger that was on the verge of exploding.
Xu Yilian watched a scene, and finally felt a little more comfortable in her heart, and hurriedly said: "Second sister, let's hurry up to Chunhui Courtyard!" "Unless Fu Tuanlian dies now, then sooner or later Xu Cancan will be the most noble woman in Daliang, rather than offending her with a long brain and regretting it in the future, it is better to take advantage of it now!
Xu Cancan smiled slightly, got up and said, "Let's go!" She has always been low-key, and she is already the head of the three sisters of the Xu family at this time.
Xu Yilian got up with her with a smile, took a few steps forward to catch up with Xu Cancan, reached out to hold her hand, and smiled skillfully: "Sister, wait for me!" β
Xu Cancan saw that Xu Yilian knew the opportunity so well, and put himself in the right position so quickly; Looking at Xu Yitong's stubborn appearance again, he couldn't help but smile and said, "Yilian, let's go!" β
Xu Yitong was so angry that his chest bulged, and he stood in place for a while before he stomped his feet and rushed up.
When Xu Cancan appeared outside the door of the Chunhui Courtyard, the eyes of Mrs. Xu and Xu Tinghe looked at each other, and their eyes were like fire: "Cancan, come here!" β
After an unpleasant dinner, Xu Cancan's family of three resolutely refused Xu Tinghe and Xu Han's retention, and returned home in a carriage.
Chang Liu drove the car, Xu Tinghe and Xu Wang sat on the front seat, and Xu Cancan and Biyun sat on the upside down.
It is said that the family should chat as usual easily and happily, but Xu Shunhe has no intention of talking; Xu Wangshi saw that her husband did not speak, and he did not dare to speak; And Xu Cancan was thinking about Fu Yuchen.
There was silence in the car for a while.
Xu Shunhe wanted to look at Xu Cancan for a while, and he was simply confused.
For a while, he thought about curing Fu Tuanlian's hidden illness as soon as possible, so that Cancan could give birth to an heir as soon as possible to consolidate his position; After a while, I thought about using some medicine to make Fu Tuanlian completely shrink and let Cancan suffer less......
Alas, it's also difficult to be a father!
When the family of three returned home, Xu Shunhe was too worried and didn't want to say more, so he asked Xu Cancan to go back to the room and sleep.
As soon as Xu Cancan returned to the room, Biyun and Xiaoxiang entered the bedroom together, and saluted her with a smile and congratulated: "Congratulations girl!" β
Seeing that they were happy, Xu Cancan's heart was also happy, and she instructed Biyun: "Take my pair of gold bracelets with rich and noble patterns carved in the sky!" β
This pair of bracelets was given by Xu Han in Xu Mansion just now, and it looks quite exquisite.
Xu Cancan took out the gold bracelet from the brocade box and looked at it, and was very satisfied - every time she gave something to someone, she was the first to rejoice in her heart.
Pulling Biyun's hand first, Xu Cancan opened the hidden buckle of the bracelet and buckled it on Biyun's hand.
Biyun took a step back and said happily: "Xie Lu Xie girl!" β
Xu Cancan smiled and looked at the gold bracelet on her wrist standing aside, and called Xiao Xiang: "Xiao Xiang, come here!" β
Xiao Xiang stepped forward with a smile and automatically stretched out her hand.
Xu Cancan stretched out his hand and pinched her bulging cheeks, and said with a smile: "This girl is getting taller and taller!" β
She tugged up the sleeves of Xiaoxiang's shirt and fastened the gold bracelet to her wrist.
Xiao Xiang quickly blessed her body and said, "Xie Lu Xie girl!" "I went to the side to appreciate it.
Giving a valuable gift, Xu Cancan was very happy, and took out a pair of gold earrings and instructed Biyun: "Send it to Ding's mother!" β
When Biyun walked to the door of the bedroom, she said again: "Tell Ding's mother, don't thank you!" "Ding's mother, like Biyun, was also sent by Fu Yuchen, and Ding's mother is so old, Xu Cancan can't bear to see her saluting to herself at a great age, so she specially explained to Biyun.
Who knew that Lu Dao Biyun still brought Ding's mother here.
Ignoring Xu Cancan's dissuasion, Ding's mother squatted down with a smile and saluted: "Congratulations to the girl!" The girl is going to fly into the clouds in the future! β
Xu Cancan: "......" flew into the clouds? Fly to the clouds to be a phoenix?
Ding's mother got up and was about to speak, when she heard a knock on the door outside, and hurriedly said, "The old slave will go out and have a look first!" β
Xiao Xiang was going to wait for Xu Wang's family, and she also went with her.
Xu Cancan listened attentively, feeling as if he had heard Fu Liu's voice, so he said, "Biyun, go outside and have a look!" β
Biyun soon came back, with a shy smile on his face: "Girl, Gongzi Lian sent Fu Yang and Fu Liu to bring four guards to take care of our home!" β
Xu Cancan was a little surprised: "This doesn't seem to be particularly suitable...... she felt that Fu Yuchen did this, which inevitably made her family a little embarrassed!
Biyun walked up to her and pinched her shoulder, but her mouth explained: "Childe is worried about you, can't you send someone to protect you?" Besides, these guards only stay outside at night, and they don't stay at home, and others can't see them, so what are they afraid of! β
Xu Cancan heard that these people were just secretly guarding, so he was relieved.
Xu Shunhe was sitting in the hall drinking tea, and when he heard Ding's mother report that Fu Liu and Fu Yang had brought someone over, he got up to greet him.
When he heard Fu Yang and Fu Liu's intentions, he immediately thought crookedly: Fu Tuanlian is afraid that we can escape?
Fu Yang saw the strange look on his face, although his mouth was a little stupid, he still had to explain reluctantly: "Master Xu, the prince wants them to come to guard the mansion to prevent small tricks!" β
Xu Shunhe didn't realize that he had become Fu Tuanlian's future father-in-law, although he was not worried in his heart, but his face was still respectful: "That's really Xie Lu Xie Tuanlian!" β
Fu Liu smiled slightly and said, "Master Xu, my son-in-law has a thin gift!" β
He commanded the two guards to carry a large box and serve it.
Xu Shunhe saw that the two black-clothed guards came in with a big box with a stick, and the sticks were almost bent, as if they were carrying something very heavy, so he looked at it with some surprise.
Fu Liu didn't say much, and when the guards put the big box in the center of the hall, he walked over and opened the copper lock on the big box, and lifted the lid of the box to lead Xu Shunhe to see it.
Candlesticks are placed on the altar of the hall and on the table of the eight immortals, which illuminates the room exceptionally brightly; But when the lid was opened, the candlelight lost its brilliance - the large box was full of golden ingots!
Xu Shunhe was almost blinded by this box of gold ingots, and finally looked away at Fu Liu, his face full of questions: "What does this mean, Lord Tuanlian?" β
Fu Liu bowed dashingly and said, "Childe said that this gold will be sent over for you to spend first!" β
Seeing Xu Shunhe's still confused face, he smiled and said: "In order to let the prince get married as soon as possible, the saint has ordered the queen to give an order, the six girls of the Guogong Mansion will marry in ten days, the seventh girl will marry in a month and a half, and the son's big day will be scheduled in two months." β
After speaking, Fu Liu looked at Xu Shunhe's eyes, but smiled silently.
Xu Shunhe understood it now. Fu Tuanlian is afraid that the dowry will not be decent enough when Cancan gets married, this is to add makeup to Cancan!
Thinking of this, Xu Shunhe was suddenly a little moved. He spoke: "It's really bothering the group training adults!" β
Fu Liu successfully completed the task, and after saying goodbye, he left with Fu Yang, and the four soldiers were also arranged around Xu's house by Fu Yang at night.
Xu Cancan saw that Biyun had been standing in front of the window and peeping, and his heart moved, so he said, "Biyun, do you fancy Fu Yang or Fu Liu?" β
Biyun was suddenly told that he was in his heart, and hurriedly looked back at Xu Cancan, with a panicked look on his face.
Xu Cancan got up and walked in front of her, and said with concern: "What's the matter, as long as you like each other, I will find a way to take care of you in the future!" β
Biyun's eyes suddenly moistened, and she whispered with the emotion of breaking the jar a little: "The slave likes Fu Liu!" β
Xu Cancan was surprised: "If you like it, you like it, why are you crying?" β
Biyun wiped the tears that came out of his eyes: "Gongzi said that in the future, Fu Yang, Fu Liu, Fu Gui and several of them will all enter the palace......
Xu Cancan was shocked first and then laughed: "How is it possible!" You sons are so kind! β
Biyun looked at her blankly, but refused to say more. The girl only saw the side of Childe who was a good person, how could she understand her sadness.
She didn't dare or intend to show the other side of Gongzi in front of the girl, but looked out the window with tears in her eyesβFu Yang and Fu Liu had already left, and the lanterns hanging on the trees inside the gate emitted a miserable white light, illuminating the empty courtyard.
Xu Cancan saw that her expression was different, and said, "Fu Liu, they are also willing to do this kind of thing?" β
"Don't talk about Fu Liu, they are," Fu Bi sighed and said, "Even if Gongzi wants to castrate me, I am willing too!" β
Xu Cancan: "......" Even if you want to be castrated, you have to have the most basic hardware!
As soon as Fu Yuchen returned to the Gongfu, he went to Luxue Nunnery to see his father and mother-in-law.
Fu Yunzhang, the Duke of Dingguo, and Shu, the Duchess of the Kingdom, sat at both ends of the rosewood couch and looked at Fu Yuchen kneeling below.
Fu Yunzhang already knew about Emperor Yong'an's marriage, and he couldn't help but feel emotional: his son is also going to get married!
But he also clearly realized that even if a son gets married, he can't give birth to an heir soon, especially a male heir!
When Fu Yuchen got up, Fu Yunzhang looked at him and said slowly: "I have already instructed Fu Daliang to start preparing for the wedding, you don't have to worry about it, take care of your body!" β
Fu Yuchen replied "yes", then stopped talking and looked at his mother-in-law.
Mrs. Fu had a kind smile on her face: "Achen, you will be an adult after you get married, you can't be so naΓ―ve anymore!" "When she thought of her sister coming from the palace that Fu Yuchen's fiancΓ©e had a fox odor, she had the urge to look up to the sky and laugh.
As long as she can disgust Fu Yuchen and let out a bad breath for her, she is willing to pay any price!
Fu Yuchen replied respectfully "yes" and withdrew.
Fu Yuchen slowly walked out of Luxue Nunnery and returned to Zhusheng Courtyard.
In this process, he has been very calm, and his face is not shocked.
Fu Song and Fu Gui followed behind him, and couldn't help but sigh that Gongzi was really calm.
Entering the study where he rested every day, Fu Yuchen washed his hands under the waiters of Fu Gui and Fu Song, and said, "You guys go out first!" β
Fu Song and Fu Gui were both stunned - they were about to congratulate Gongzi on his wish coming true!
After retiring Fu Song and Fu Gui, Fu Yuchen entered the inner room alone.
He sat on the edge of the bed, holding the pillow Xu Cancan gave him in his arms with one hand, covering his eyes with the other, and there was no sound for a long time.
Fu Yang's voice came from outside, interrupting his meditation: "Childe, is it time for dinner?" β
Fu Yuchen paused before saying, "Let's go!" β
Dinner was served on the pear blossom wood table in the bright room, and it looked like some delicate dishes.
Fu Yuchen sat down and took a look, feeling that he didn't have a little appetite.
He looked at it with chopsticks for a long time, but he didn't see a single dish he wanted to eat.
Fu Yuchen only drank a few mouthfuls of porridge and then put down his chopsticks, rinsed his mouth with black tea and left.
Fu Gui, who was waiting on the side, saw that Gongzi was eating so little, so he said, "Childe, you can eat a little more!" β
Fu Yuchen waved his hand, picked up a book and leaned against the head of the bed to read it.
Fu Liu and Fu Yang came back to resume their lives, and after coming out of the study, they met Fu Gui who was standing at the door waiting.
Fu Gui was in a hurry, so he whispered the matter of his son's refusal to eat at night.
Fu Yang frowned, not knowing what to do.
Fu Liu smiled and said, "Look at my brother, my brother has a way!" β
He looked up at the sky and said, "Let's wait until it's dark and late at night!" β
Fu Gui was about to ask the reason, but Fu Liu patted him on the shoulder: "Fu Gui, you go to the small kitchen now, let people clean up inside, and just leave fresh vegetables and a mother-in-law who burns the fire!" β
Fu Yuchen's study is not in the outer courtyard of Zhusheng Courtyard, but in the main courtyard of Zhusheng Courtyard. There is a small kitchen in the main courtyard, which is specially designed for Fu Yuchen to cook alone. It was this kitchen that Fu Liu asked Fu Gui to go.
Fu Gui and the others have always been headed by Fu Liu, so Fu Gui asked Fu Liu to be on duty for him first, and he obediently went to the small kitchen according to Fu Liu's explanation!
At this time, he heard that the rain was coming, and he had something to repay his son.
Fu Liu let him in after the report.
Fu Yuchen was leaning on the bed, reading a book in his hand, and only glanced at Tingyu when he saw him come in.
After listening to the rain salute, he reported: "Yu Gongzi, the slave received a letter saying that Xiangli seems to have pregnancy symptoms!" β
Fu Yuchen's eyes did not leave the book, and said softly: "Then let her commit suicide by jumping into the well!" β
Tingyu lowered his head: "Childe, I'm not sure if she's really pregnant-"
Fu Yuchen put down the book and looked at him quietly.
Hearing the rain, he let out a cold sweat, and said, "The slave will go and execute!" β
Fu Liu wiped his sweat when he saw Tingyu coming out outside, and couldn't help laughing: Tingyu is so timid! However, he is still young! Tingyu is only thirteen years old this year, and he and Guanxue were both selected during the Spring Festival this year.
There was no sound of flipping a book in the bedroom for a long time, Fu Liu tiptoed in, and found that Childe had fallen asleep, and Childe's long eyelashes under the candlelight cast a fan-shaped shadow on his eyelids, which looked as delicate as a painting.
Fu Liu couldn't help but think of the equally beautiful Miss Xu, and couldn't help but be happy for Childe: Miss Xu and Childe are really a good match!
He gently pulled open the brocade quilt in the bed and covered it for Childe, and extinguished the giant flower branch candlestick at the head of the bed, and then retreated.
Fu Yuchen dreamed of Xu Cancan.
He dreamed that Xu Cancan was holding himself in his arms and gently touching himself with his hand. And he felt that this was very comfortable, so he hugged Xu Cancan with his backhand and pressed Xu Cancan under him.
At the moment when he dreamed that he ripped open Xu Cancan's clothes, Fu Yuchen woke up.
The candlesticks in the bedroom were all extinguished, and only the windows covered with blue cicada wings let in a blue halo.
It was so quiet outside, he could even hear the crunch of the iron pieces on their weapons and armor as soldiers patrolled outside the gate of the outer courtyard.
In such a quiet night, Fu Yuchen lay on the bed, quietly thinking about Xu Cancan, and wanted to hug Xu Cancan himself......
Fu Liu and Fu Guili were on night duty outside.
Fu Liu heard a light cough coming from the bedroom, and knew that Gongzi had woken up, so he whispered, "Childe, do you want water?" β
Then, he heard Childe's voice - "Send it in!" β
After serving Gongzi and drinking water, Fu Liu smiled and said, "Childe, in fact, Miss Xu's house is very close to us!" β
After speaking, he held his breath and waited for Childe's answer.
Fu Yuchen was thinking silently: Cancan's house is very close to here, why don't you go and see her?
Therefore, after listening to Fu Liu's words, he glanced at Fu Liu in surprise: This dog slave really thought of my heart!
Fu Liu didn't wait long before he heard Childe's question-"What time is it?" β
He understood that Childe wanted to see Miss Xu, so he said, "Childe, it's three minutes now." β
Before Fu Yuchen could speak, Fu Liu said: "Son, it is very inconvenient for you to be in the Xu family, so the slave will go and pick up Miss Xu for you!" β
He smiled again: "Fu Guidu has prepared the small kitchen in the courtyard, wait for Miss Xu to come over, and let Miss Xu cook you a supper!" β
Fu Yuchen looked at him in surprise, thinking to himself: When did these minions know me so well?
Seeing Gongzi looking at himself, Fu Liu hurriedly puffed up his chest and looked at Gongzi with a smile: They are so loyal and think about Gongzi, Gongzi should praise them, right?!
Fu Yuchen looked away: "Go!" He had just seen Xu Cancan during the day, but he was already thinking about Xu Cancan. Is this what the play says, "I don't see you for a day, like every three autumns"?
Xu Cancan took a bath at home again, got out of the bathtub with a fragrant wash, changed his clothes and combed his hair, and went to find his father.
There was still a light in the hall, and Xu Cancan saw his father sitting at the table of the Eight Immortals from a distance, and he didn't know what Lu Dao was busy with.
She called "Daddy" and trotted over with her skirt in her hand.
After entering the hall, Xu Cancan found that there were the four treasures of the study room and a mess of tattered medical books on the table of the Eight Immortals, and his father was frowning and thinking about it with a hanging brush in his hand!
Xu Cancan was lying on his father's left side and asked curiously, "Daddy, what do you write on the big night?" β
Xu Shunhe stretched out his left hand and stroked Xu Cancan's long hair that had not yet dried, and said, "I'm prescribing a prescription!" β
"Prescription? To whom is it prescribed? Xu Cancan was a little surprised, what kind of prescription does he need to twist his eyebrows and grit his teeth, as if he is prescribing a prescription for the enemy?
"Humph!" Xu Shunhe is not ready to deal with his daughter.
Seeing his father's gritted teeth, Xu Cancan reached out and hugged his father's waist and coquettishly: "Dad, if you don't like that person, you won't give him a prescription, why force yourself!" β
Xu Shunhe let out a long sigh: Girl, your father doesn't want to, but ...... Alas......
