Chapter 27: Fan Xiaoshan
Stepmother Granny Li said a lot this night, but in her words, she did not reveal the slightest identity. If you just listen to her words, it seems to be just an ordinary matter of the inner house of a large family.
She obviously didn't want Fan Yu to know, so as not to be frightened. She didn't know that Fan Yu knew it in her heart and listened to it with relish.
However, Fan Yu knew that the late Empress Dowager Liu was a heroic figure among women. Since the death of Emperor Zhenzong, the power of the court has fallen into the hands of Empress Dowager Liu. Although Emperor Renzong Zhao Zhen inherited the great treasure, he had no power in his hands and was just a puppet.
If it weren't for the ministers in the court watching closely, this Empress Dowager Liu would have been a martial queen who had already learned from the Tang Dynasty and established herself as the empress.
Even so, before her death, Empress Dowager Liu still firmly controlled the government and refused to let go. For this reason, a generation of famous ministers Kou Zhun was demoted and died of illness in Leizhou.
Such a woman can be called an iron fist.
Today's official Zhao Zhen is only just after the death of Empress Dowager Liu, and he has just grasped the imperial power.
The flames in the brazier were also extinguished, and Granny Li said a lot and was a little tired.
Fan Yu said to his stepmother-in-law, Granny Li: "Mother, it's been nearly three watches, rest early, don't be tired." If the mother is sick, it is not beautiful. ”
Granny Li nodded, let Fan Yu help her up, and said, "Mother pulled you to do these things again, don't blame your mother." ”
Fan Yu shook his head and said: "How come, my mother's relatives are my children's relatives, these are all things that should be done." However, I heard from my mother that I also have an older brother who can't recognize my mother and son. Now that this Aunt Liu has passed away, why don't my mother tell me where this brother is. The child can go and find him, and recognize his mother. If my brother's family loses, wouldn't it be good to just bring our mother and son to reunite? ”
He was tempted, wanting to see if his stepmother had the intention of recognizing mother and son. Instead of waiting in this Caoqiao Town, it is better to take the initiative and realize your rich and peaceful life in the Great Song Dynasty as soon as possible.
Unexpectedly, Granny Li sighed and said: "Over the years, your brother has not grown up by his mother's side, and he is afraid that it will be boring to recognize him." It's good not to recognize each other, but if it causes trouble, it is enough to make our mother and son die. It's not a pity for my mother to die when she is old, but Yu'er, you are still young, so I can't rest assured. ”
Hearing these words of his stepmother, Fan Yu's heart immediately made his heart cold, as if someone had poured a basin of cold water on his head. It seems that his abacus was wrong, and his stepmother didn't want to recognize her biological son like this. If the stepmother sees Bao Zheng passing by and can't cry out for grievances, then what wealth will grow wings and fly. The drama of the tanuki changing the prince is gone, only the tanuki is the truth of the tanuki.
"Mother, my brother and you don't recognize each other, and the separation of flesh and blood is the most important thing." Fan Yu persuaded euphemistically: "My mother went early, and when I think about it at this time, I can't even remember my face." Every time I think about it, I am really ashamed. Therefore, the child does not want his mother to be unrecognizable to my brother. ”
Granny Li's expression immediately became sad, and Fan Yu stopped making a sound when she saw that it was a little interesting.
But Granny Li's mouth was unexpected.
"Yu'er, did your mother let you go to buy food and caused trouble, you don't want your mother to live here anymore?" Granny Li said in a lamented voice: "I persuaded my mother to find your brother several times, didn't you want to dump someone like my mother with him?" ”
Fan Yu's head is three times bigger, no matter whether a woman is old or young, whether she is old or young, whether she is ancient or modern, Chinese or foreign, why can't she hear the original meaning of the words? You have to be cranky and misinterpret your own meaning.
He also had a few girlfriends in the village in his previous life, but unfortunately everyone was not lucky enough and couldn't get together. Most girls want to marry in the city, even if they marry a migrant worker, and they don't want to marry him, a village official.
In addition, these girls are influenced by various media, and they don't know what messy things to think in their minds all day long, and they often have clear thoughts and touching IQs.
He also thought that this was just a girl who didn't experience the world in the future, who knew that when he came to the Great Song Dynasty, he met his stepmother, which really made him feel like he was struck by lightning.
It's just that Fan Yu can't be impatient, this matter must be explained with good words, otherwise it will definitely make the stepmother sad.
"Mother, I have no such intention." Fan Yu had to prove his innocence and said: "The child just wants his mother and brother to recognize each other in order to relieve his mother's regrets." Moreover, no matter how my brother treats my mother, I also want to do my filial piety to my mother. ”
"I don't think you want to." Stepmother Granny Li turned her back and reached out to wipe away her tears.
Fan Yu almost smoked from the top of his head, which couldn't be explained, so he had to say: "If my mother says that I don't recognize it, I won't recognize it, and the child will listen to my mother." ”
Granny Li said quietly: "Yu'er, do you have some resentment towards your mother in your heart?" It's not that my mother doesn't want to, but in fact, my mother is afraid. Although you and my mother and son are not rich and noble, they also have food and clothing. Every day, my mother talks and laughs with you, and I am content. If you recognize your brother, I am afraid that there will be no more such leisurely days. ”
Fan Yu saw that his stepmother was really sad, and knew that he couldn't persuade him anymore, so he smiled and said: "Mother is not sad, as my mother said, our family's life is not bad." With these family backgrounds in hand, when the children earn more money, our family will become a rich family, and it is not impossible to make the mother clothed and fed. ”
Saying so in his mouth, Fan Yu also thought so in his heart. The commodity economy of the Great Song Dynasty was relatively developed compared to all dynasties. With some knowledge that he has not yet returned to his teacher in later life, it should not be difficult to get ahead again.
Why bother to force your stepmother to recognize her relatives for the sake of wealth? It's just a little more trouble for yourself. When Fan Yu thought about it, he felt that he was a little bit of a person, and he was very unhappy in his heart.
When the stepmother heard Fan Yu say this, she turned her worries into joy and said: "My son is an ambitious person, and my mother is waiting for you for this day." ”
Fan Yu smiled bitterly, it seems that the wealth he has been looking forward to for a long time has completely lost his chances.
After this night passed, Bo Wangfeng, the lord of Xihua County, came to Caoqiao Town with a grain cart with his hands.
There have been some hungry people waiting on the main road in Caoqiao Town.
When these hungry people saw the grain truck, they knew that Fan Yu really didn't lie to them, and Xihua County really wanted to work for relief.
As a result, as soon as Wang Feng walked not far from the town, there were hungry people kneeling on the side of the road, "My lord, the grass people have to work on the fourth day, please take them in!" ”
"I'm going to work too, so take me!"
"Count me in, I can work for two people alone!"
By the time Wang Feng entered the town, there were already hundreds of people around him.
Wang Feng also broke out in a cold sweat, looking at this posture, if it is delayed for a few days, I am afraid that there will be a civil uprising. Fortunately, Brother Fan offered advice to him, otherwise it would have been out of control.
Fan Yu went out to see this scene, and he smiled and went over to see Wang Feng's liveliness.
As a result, before he got close to the crowd, someone shouted: "Fan Xiaoshan is here!" ”
