Chapter Forty-Nine: The Enemy Is Too Big
Hearing this voice, Fan Ming stopped, and when he turned around, he saw a young woman who looked a little similar to Fan Qin's running over, if it was right, this should be his third sister Qiuyue.
Fan Ming stood with a smile and watched Qiu Yue run over.
Qiu Yue ran to Fan Ming's body three feet away and stood still, a little afraid to recognize each other, the young scholar in front of her was very different from the memory, if she could still vaguely see the original appearance on her face, she almost thought that this was another person, "You are Xiao Wu?" ”
Fan Ming nodded, "Third sister, it's me." ”
Hearing this answer, Qiu Yue's eyes instantly moistened, and she rushed forward at a trot, holding Fan Ming's hand tightly, looking up at Fan Ming's face, motionless.
A strong family affection passed through Qiu Yue's eyes, Fan Ming's heart was touched, and the small resentment in his heart instantly dissipated a lot, showing his teeth and showing a sunny smile, "Third sister, are you still doing well these days?" ”
Qiu Yue bit her lip and held back her tears from falling, "Mmmm, I'm fine, it's just that I have suffered you and my mother, and I haven't been to see you, I just hope that you don't resent me, little brother." ”
"You and your difficulties, I understand, and the most difficult time has passed, now the family is much better, you see me now." Fan Ming opened his arms and shook his robe, "I am now working in the accounting room of Cao Mansion, and I have started to study, and I will get better and better in the future." ”
"That's good, that's good." Qiu Yue wiped her tears, looking at Fan Ming's clean gown, she knew that the little brother was not lying, thinking about the tragic situation when she first broke the house, Qiu Yue couldn't help but burst into tears.
The sisters and brothers were talking considerately, and Lu Baichuan, who was a brother-in-law, looked particularly embarrassed on the side, couldn't help coughing, and said, "If you have anything to say, hurry up, I'll go back first." ”
"Oh, yes!" Only then did Qiu Yue remember that his official was still beside him, but he didn't care about his feelings at all just now, and agreed in a panic, uncertain, and cautiously glanced at Lu Baichuan's face beside him.
Fan Ming sensitively grasped this detail, his brows furrowed slightly, he could see that the third sister was not doing well in the Lu family, and she was a little too careful.
Turning his gaze to Lu Baichuan again, he didn't look at him seriously just now, but now he has to take a closer look at it again.
Not much different from what he imagined, Lu Baichuan was a typical scribe, with a white face and a thin body, and a pair of long robes and robes that were a little pale but extremely clean.
This reminds him of Lu Xun's Kong Yijilai, although he is down, but his attention is still there, the so-called donkey does not fall, but the arrogance and resentment between his eyebrows have not been inadvertently revealed even if they are deliberately disguised.
Seeing it clearly, Fan Ming also had a lot of emotion in his heart, and he had heard a lot about the Lu family from Fan Qin's mouth before.
In addition to the harmony between the in-laws and the family at the beginning, the most listened to is guilt.
As soon as my father was imprisoned, the Lu family also fulfilled the responsibility of being a family member, morally speaking, the Lu family is very good, and he is also grateful for the love of going to Ying Tianfu to buy a relationship with his family property.
What's more, it was because of his father that the Lu family was defeated, and for a while, Fan Ming's resentment towards the Lu family dissipated a lot.
But the unpleasantness of the meeting just now has become a fact, and it can only be slowly redeemed later.
The third sister's panicked look made Fan Ming see it in his eyes, and he could see that the third sister was very afraid of Lu Baichuan, so there was no need to guess that it must have something to do with her defeat.
There is no one in the mother's family, and the treatment is naturally poor, there is no feminism in this era, only the size of the mother's family, I heard Fan Qin's family talk about the prestige of the Fan family before, and the county lieutenant of a county is the most powerful official position in addition to the flow officials, and it can be regarded as a one-handed cover within the local scope.
In this case, it is too late for the Lu family to stammer.
However, there are unforeseen circumstances, and as soon as the Fan family falls, the Lu family will definitely be implicated, which is also reasonable.
Compared with Fan Ming's complicated thoughts, the third sister Qiu Yue, who was standing on the side, was more and more cautious, in his impression, the younger brother was just a little urchin who always followed her, and he had grown into a seven-foot man after not seeing him in the past few years, and he had become a scholar, would he still be as close to himself as before, if he knew that Lu Baichuan wanted to take a break from himself...... Complicated thoughts made her heart never settle down.
Watching Lu Baichuan's figure disappear into the gate of the Lu Mansion, Fan Ming gently called Qiu Yue's attention back, "Third sister, how is our house now, have you been to see it?" ”
As soon as he mentioned the old things, Qiu Yue's eyes suddenly had tears in her eyes, and she sighed slightly, "Since the Yacha was sealed, it has been abandoned there, and now it is overgrown with weeds, I heard that there were outsiders who came to ask for the price two months ago, but I don't know why it was not sold, little brother, don't think about the house anymore, this house is no longer our family." ”
Fan Ming nodded, he was not staring at the house in his heart, but wanted to ask the ins and outs of the original incident, so he asked again: "Third sister, our family was so good at the beginning, how did we get to this point, is there anything strange in this?" ”
Qiu Yue nodded, "Well, since Daddy's accident, your brother-in-law has been running around to inquire about the situation, although he didn't save Daddy, but he found out some secrets. ”
Fan Ming's eyes lit up, and he hurriedly asked, "Oh, yes, tell me about it." ”
Qiu Yue had a bitter expression on her face, and said: "Originally, according to Daddy's power in Chuqiu County, it was impossible to lose him in ordinary trading, but that time, I didn't know how someone took the handle, and under the conclusive evidence, he was directly arrested and imprisoned.
Later, your brother-in-law thought about it carefully, there was no chance to make Daddy turn over, and there was only one person who could have such a big handle in Chuqiu County. ”
Fan Ming's heart was shocked and asked, "Who is it?" ”
Qiu Yue's eyes flashed, and she didn't answer him directly, but looked at him with words and said, "Little brother, you have to promise me, don't think about revenge." ”
Fan Ming frowned and did not speak.
Seeing that the little brother didn't listen, Qiu Yue suddenly became anxious, grabbed his hand, and said eagerly: "When my father was in prison, I said that the enemy of our family is too big, if we don't try our best to seek revenge, we will only be crushed, little brother, you can't be impulsive, you are our only seedling!" ”
Seeing Qiu Yue's eagerness, Fan Ming patted her hand gently, "Don't worry, third sister, if I'm not sure, I won't act rashly." ”
Qiu Yue breathed a sigh of relief slightly, leaned closer and lowered her voice and said, "The first person under the county honor, Bu Xiancheng!" ”
Fan Ming took a long breath and was silent.
