Chapter 170: Heartbreak
"From now on, we are a family, aunt, although my house is big, but it is also very deserted, this is the New Year, everyone is happy, you see that I am alone...... Am I just going to stay here for the New Year? ”
Fu Xiaoguan looked at Dong Yuan's with anticipation on his face, and Dong Xiude beside him laughed, "I think it's okay!" ”
Dong Yuan's glared at Dong Xiude, Dong Shulan's pretty face suddenly blushed, and she lowered her head, Dong Kangping looked at his nose and nose and heart, brushed his beard, and for a while, Dong Yuan's couldn't help laughing, this kid is so thick-skinned!
Then she looked at the table, Fu Xiaoguan's hand was still pressing Dong Shulan's hand, but Dong Shulan didn't mean to pull it away. Thinking about what the old man said last night, as well as what the eldest princess said before, she finally took a step back.
That's it...... This daughter's heart has been snatched away by him.
"It's really cold for you to spend the New Year in Beijing alone, if you want to come, then come."
Fu Xiaoguan was overjoyed, and his worried heart finally let go, he hurriedly got up and saluted Dong Yuan again, and shouted: "The little nephew has thanked his aunt, and the little nephew will not go back to eat today." ”
Fight the snake with the stick, Dong Xiude laughed and admired Fu Xiaoguan so much, look, look, this is my brother-in-law, if it is replaced by Yan Xiwen, does he dare to be so shameless?
Dong Yuanshi seemed to want to open up a little at the moment, so he also smiled, "You can be casual, okay, you can eat here at noon." ”
This level seems to have passed, and then it was a lot of fun and natural to speak.
"Actually, you have a relative in Shangjing, so don't you really want to recognize one? If you'd like, I'll talk to you about it first. ”
Dong Kangping said that it was naturally Fu Xiaoguan's grandfather Xu Shaoguang of the Xufu Mansion, and Fu Xiaoguan thought for a moment and said: "My father's meaning is also to let me go and recognize a door, but there is such a sentence, no one asks about the poor in the downtown area, and the rich have distant relatives in the mountains." It's not quite a good analogy, but that's what it means. When my mother came back before she died, she wanted to take a look, and since they didn't open the door, they didn't forgive my mother, and they still looked down on my father, so it didn't make sense for me to go to see them now. I guess if I become a big official, or even a marquis, their door will naturally be open. ”
This seems to be a bit vindictive, Dong Kangping didn't refute it, this is Fu Xiaoguan's own business, and he is not easy to meddle. In fact, after Fu Xiaoguan went to the Golden Palace, Xu Huaishu and Xu Yungui also chatted with him when they met, and they had a lot of emotions about the events of that year. When Xu Yunqing was still in Beijing, Dong Kangping was also one of Xu Yunqing's suitors, and he had known these two for many years.
Xu Shaoguang since Xu Yunqing and Fu Daguan eloped not long after the resignation of the Guozijian Division, since then rarely go out again, listen to Xu Yungui brothers said that since then, Xu Shaoguang devoted himself to Buddhism, and his home has a statue of Guanyin Buddha invited from Qixia Temple.
In this way, it seems that Xu Shaoguang is atoning for his sins, maybe he is sorry for Xu Yunqing, or maybe he is asking for peace of mind.
When writer Chang Dong Kangping and Fu Xiaoguan said these things, Fu Xiaoguan listened very carefully, and finally said very seriously: "Actually, I understand his unhappiness when my mother eloped with my father, this is the common feeling of a father, and I don't blame him." His daughter ran away in order to pursue the so-called love...... If it were me, I wouldn't be happy. But since my mother has insisted on not marrying my father, it will be a bit of a stick to beat the mandarin duck if he stops it, which I can still understand. But the only thing I can't understand is that my mother is critically ill, just wanting to go into the mother's house where I have lived for more than ten years to take a look, such a simple wish can not be realized, and finally leave with hatred...... I think that's too impersonal. ”
Dong Kangping couldn't refute this, he sighed, "Okay, you can solve this matter later when you have a suitable opportunity." ”
Dong Kangping looked at the boxes piled up on the left and right, and said: "Although your family is a landlord, since you have come to Shangjing, you are also buying a property in Shangjing, and the cost in the future is very large, these things ...... Your aunt and I have a heart, and you will bring it back after lunch. ”
Fu Xiaoguan hurriedly waved his hand, took the teapot in Dong Shulan's hand and filled it for Dong Kangping and Dong Yuan, and said with a smile: "Don't hide it from your uncle and aunt, the little nephew's family is quite solid, these gifts are the little nephew's heart, and the uncle can be used as a ...... I'm here to pay for the meal. ”
"You have money for this meal...... Okay, then I'll take it. Dong Kangping paused and talked about the affairs of the DPRK and China, "This time we thoroughly investigated the corruption of the thirteen provinces, and as of yesterday, there have been four Taoist platforms, 23 governors, and 117 county commanders have been dismissed. In this capital, the right attendant of the household department was involved, and a Lang Zhong of the official department was also imprisoned and waited for interrogation in the coming year. ”
Dong Kangping shook his head, and said: "This shock of officialdom is the biggest one in the Yu Dynasty for more than two hundred years, and now it seems that this is not over, Your Majesty did not recall the Qincha, and even so many officials who were escorted to Shangjing did not order Dali Temple to interrogate, it is estimated that Your Majesty is ruthless this time to completely rectify it." As a result, many positions were vacated, and many of the Jinshi who had not yet filled the vacancies over the years had been assigned to various places as officials, and the scene seemed to be peaceful, but in fact there was an undercurrent. ”
Fu Xiaoguan thought about it, and the undercurrent that Dong Kangping said probably referred to the counterattack of the six major valves. Although he didn't know the specific situation of these fallen officials, he wanted to be inseparable from the six major valves.
The six major valves have been around for a long time, and their heritage is very deep, and they have not fought back to show that they have not touched their foundation so far, but if they continue to investigate, they will be involved one day, which is definitely what they don't want to see, then they will inevitably have action.
"The matter...... If Your Majesty really wants to investigate, you should pay attention to border defense. ”
Dong Kangping frowned and asked, "What does this mean?" ”
"Uncle, you think, pull out the radish and bring out the mud, this disaster will eventually burn to the body of the six major gates. Will they be retiring? I don't think so. So how can this be stopped? Only His Majesty has no time to take care of this matter, and this matter will naturally be over. ”
Dong Kangping's brows furrowed even tighter, so that His Majesty would not have time to take care of this matter, it must be a big matter, if there is a foreign invasion at this moment, the border defense is chaotic, Your Majesty's focus will inevitably shift to the war - this does not seem to be impossible.
The dog is anxious and knows how to jump over the wall, won't the six gate valves fight to the death?
Fu Xiaoguan asked again: "Uncle, are the materials stored in the household department enough to support a local war?" I mean, if the Razor or the Desolate invade, will the household have enough supplies to send to the front line? ”
"The biggest threat to our dynasty comes from the desolate people in the north, since the desolate people stationed 100,000 soldiers in Yanshan Pass, the household materials are mainly mobilized to Xincheng ......" Dong Kangping's heart was shocked, and a bad thought suddenly rose, this time the disaster relief household department was transferred to the disaster area A huge amount of materials, if there is really a war in the east at this moment, this material is very urgent. Even if it is levied on the spot, it is difficult to keep the food supply, not to mention that the weapons and armor are far from enough.
"They...... How dare you be so mad? Dong Kangping asked in disbelief.
"The little nephew is just guessing that when he wants to lose his head, no matter how crazy things are, they will do it."
Dong Kangping stood up, "I'll go to the palace." ”
Fu Xiaoguan was stunned, "No, I'll just talk about it." ”
"No, this matter is very likely, because the right attendant of the household department secretly transferred a large number of weapons and armor to Xincheng, and what I am worried about now is whether he will transfer the grain from Shannan Dongdao and Jiannan Dongdao."
Dong Kangping left the Dong Mansion in a hurry without even changing his clothes, and the atmosphere here was suddenly solemn, and Fu Xiaoguan spread his hands very innocently, "I really just said it casually." ”
Dong Yuan didn't blame him, and also stood up, "I'm a woman who doesn't understand these big things, but it's good for you to remind me, it didn't happen, and it was natural and safe, if it happened...... At the very least, if you find it in advance, you can think of a remedy. Feel free to do so, I'll arrange for lunch in the kitchen. ”
Dong Shulan threw Fu Xiaoguan a roll of the eyes, thinking that this has been rested, and his father is finally resting, your casual words scared his father to enter the palace immediately to face the saint - should you say hello, or is it not good?
Dong Xiude looked at Fu Xiaoguan with a look of admiration, look, look, my brother-in-law just said a word casually, and scared my father away, so can Yan Xiwen do it?
"Brother-in-law, what are you talking about...... Is it possible? ”
Fu Xiaoguan touched his nose, "I don't know, but if it were me, I would have found it on the temple, and if I continued to investigate, it would fall on me, and I would definitely not take the initiative to wash my neck and put my head under His Majesty's knife and wait to be slaughtered." ”
That's very possible, Dong Shulan frowned lightly, and felt quite uneasy, I hope it's okay.
The three of them sat and chatted, and the most they said was that it was very beautiful, Dong Xiude's eyebrows danced, saying that those small clothes were selling very well, and the perfume was in short supply.
He is now looking for another shop, thinking that the four areas of the southeast, northwest and northwest of the capital must have a very beautiful sales, and now there is a shop in the temple street near the Chenghuang Temple in the south of the city.
Fu Xiaoguan expressed his support for this, Dong Shulan meant that it would be best if she could buy it, and now she has a full 40,000 taels of silver in her hand, of course, the big head is still from the dream of the Red Mansion.
Then the old lady came to invite them to dinner, and the atmosphere was a little solemn at lunchtime, because Dong Kangping did not come back.
In the afternoon, Fu Xiaoguan's arrangement was to go to Qin Bingzhong's house, firstly, to meet and say hello, and secondly, to hand over Qin Bingzhong's trust to Qin Bingzhong.
Just after the meal, when Fu Xiaoguan said goodbye to Dong Yuan and Dong Shulan, Gonggong Jia in the palace walked in in a hurry.
"Master Fu, Your Majesty wants to see you!"
