The tea is fragrant and slightly hot.

Fu Xiaoguan looked at the Hu family carefully, thinking that if his mother was alive, he would be at such an age.

Hu lowered his head and fiddled with the tea set, and said: "I still remember that it was the fortieth year of Taihe, and at that time, your mother was like them, and she was fifteen years old. ”

"At that time, we were all studying in the Jixia School Palace, and I was unknown, but your mother was already a talented woman who went to Beijing."

"In the Mid-Autumn Festival in the 40th year of Taihe, the Lanting Poetry Meeting was very lively, and your mother and I naturally went, because there were many talented people at the poetry meeting. For us at that time, our hearts were full of dreams, and we always thought that the story of talented and beautiful people was the best ending of life, and the most famous talents in Beijing at that time were Yan Shidao, Xi Xunmei, Qin Ziyou, and ......" Hu everyone looked at Dong Shulan, "and your father Dong Kangping." ”

Dong Shulan was stunned, was her father still a famous talent? She didn't know, she only knew that her father was busy with official business every day, and when he came back, he was often fiddling with calculations, but she had never seen him write poems or anything.

Looking at Dong Shulan's surprised expression, Hu Dajia smiled: "There is no doubt that your father was very famous back then." ”

"Who is Qin Ziyou?" Fu Xiaoguan asked.

"Qin Bingzhong's second son died of illness in the fifth year of Xuanli."

I see, no wonder I have never seen it, and I haven't heard it talk about it.

"If it were according to the script of the talented and beautiful woman, your mother would have married Yan Shidao, because Yan Shidao was very handsome, and Yan Shidao back then was much more handsome than you are now. Of course, because the Yan family is a high-ranking lord, Xu Shaoguang, that is, your grandfather, wants to marry Yunqing into the Yan family. Yan Shidao also admires your mother very much, and the Yan family has no objections. So that's how it should have been...... We all thought it would be like this. ”

Fu Xiaoguan listened very carefully, after all, this was his mother's story, and his father had never mentioned it, probably because he was afraid of making it sad.

"In the spring of the forty-first year of Taihe, a Fu official came to Linjiang. He came to participate in the Spring Festival, and no one took him seriously at that time because he was not famous. ”

Fu Xiaoguan was taken aback at this moment, so that the honest fat man was once a lifter?

"This person often comes to the red sleeve move, at that time this red sleeve move was already very famous, your mother wrote the lyrics, I composed music, attracted many dignitaries and nobles to be merry and talented. This Fu Daguan is generous and exquisite, but he also got to know a lot of literati, and he also entered your mother's field of vision. ”

"Of course, your mother just thinks that this fat man is stupid and has a lot of money, and she never thought she would be with him at all."

"A lot of things have happened since then, your father didn't go to the Spring Festival that year, as for the reason, it is said that he was warned by the Yan family, because your father used to get drunk in the red sleeves, and then said that he only loved Yunqing - at that time, Yan Shidao and other talented people were also there, Yan Shidao of course didn't like it, so he warned Fu Daguan. Of course, not many people know about this, and I have only heard about it, and only your father knows how to estimate it. ”

"Your father may have been ruthless like that, but he was more serious than Yun Qing. In those two years, Yun Qing rarely came to the red sleeve move, just to avoid him. I don't know exactly what happened in those two years, in short, Yan Shidao didn't marry your mother, and then there was the winter of Taihe's forty-third year, and Yunqing eloped with your father. ”

Hu everyone took a sip of the teacup, looked out the window, and after a long time, he looked back at Fu Xiaoguan, and said very seriously: "Actually...... From beginning to end, your mother didn't like your father! ”

When Fu Xiaoguan heard this, this was not right, he defended: "But I have seen the story engraved by my father on my mother's tombstone, they met in Taihe in the spring of the forty-first year on the bank of the Qinhuai River, and then met in Lantingji. So far, my father also loves my mother deeply, since my mother went, he only accepted one concubine, if it were not for His Majesty's decree, he still only has one concubine, this must be a matter of mutual affection. ”

Hu everyone lowered their heads and smiled. "Now that everything is in the past, things are long gone, you just think I'm talking nonsense. However, if you have the opportunity to go to the Wu Dynasty in the future, to find the wife of the Marquis of the Wu Dynasty, that is, the second aunt Yu Yu of Her Royal Highness the Ninth Princess, your mother had a better relationship with the second princess than with me, and the second princess thought about the two years most clearly. ”

Fu Xiaoguan frowned, what does this Hu mean by saying this to him?

Is there something else hidden between the father and the mother?

Hu everyone seemed to see Fu Xiaoguan's doubts, "I love Yunqing deeply, this mystery has been troubled for more than ten years, I have been to the Wu Dynasty, and I have also met Her Royal Highness the Second Princess, but she didn't tell me anything about it." She said to me, "It's all over, so let it pass." ”

"You are Yunqing's son, I think Her Royal Highness the Second Princess will tell you."

This is still not right, in the meaning of the Hu family, it seems that he is not the son of Fu Daguan, but his father and mother are the relatives of Taihe in the spring of the forty-fourth year, and they gave birth to themselves in the winter of that year. Since Tai and his forty-third year of winter, his father and mother have been together, and nothing else has happened here - even if the mother has no feelings for her father, but as my father said, after being together for a long time, there will naturally be feelings.

So do the old things of adulthood still matter?

Fu Xiaoguan thinks that it doesn't matter.

So he just smiled, "Thank you Hu for talking about my mother, and thank you Hu for going to the Dong Mansion to intercede for me after I offended Shulan." ”

"I just gave Dong Kangping a jar of wine and wrote a few words, you don't have to thank me, isn't this a blessing in disguise."

Only then did Dong Shulan know why her father wrote a note to her when she was in Linjiang, it turned out to be ...... The Hu family also had a friendship with his father back then.

"And so, we're quitting."

"Well, when you have time in the future, you will often come to sit with me."

"As it should be, I took my leave."

"Go ahead."

Fu Xiaoguan and his entourage left the red-sleeved move, sitting in the carriage, Fu Xiaoguan looked at the second daughter and suddenly asked, "Am I not like my father?" ”

Yu Wenyun sneered, "Don't say it, it's really not like it." ”

"You should follow your mother, listening to what everyone Hu said, your mother must be very beautiful."

Fu Xiaoguan nodded, it should be so.

When he arrived at the door of Dong's mansion in Wuyi Lane, Su Mo handed over the box containing 200,000 taels of silver tickets that he had been carrying on his back to Dong Shulan, and Fu Xiaoguan asked him to send Yu Wenyun to the gate of the palace, and then walked towards the inn with Chunxiu.

He kept his head down thinking about what Hu said and couldn't understand it, so he left it behind.

Chunxiu went to his room, Fu Xiaoguan opened the door and just walked in, he heard a bang, a sharp pain came from the back of his head, his eyes were black, but he didn't fall to the ground.

Two men in black grabbed him and slipped him in a sack, and one of them lifted him up, jumped out of the back window, and disappeared into the night.
