Chapter 33: Frightened
PS: There may be an interview with Sanjiang at 8 p.m. on 4/14, please support me then, thank you!
In the blink of an eye, the beginning of spring has arrived, and the day of the return journey without a trace has arrived. After staying in Fujian for more than half a year, he was always thinking about all kinds of complicated situations every day, thinking that he could rest for a while, but who would have thought that he would have to continue to worry. However, looking at the people and officials who came to see him off, he also felt quite comforted in his heart, no matter what, when he left Beijing, it was deserted, and the officials were not optimistic about his trip to Fujian.
Guo Hanjin and Lu Simang, who came to see them off, also had mixed feelings, from the initial confrontation to the later betrayal, and finally the battle against the Luo family made them truly convinced. They not only hoped that Feng Wuxian would fulfill his promise and avoid the battle for succession, but also thought about the benefits that the master would bring to them if he could ascend the throne, but they were extremely conflicted. "Your Highness, you have to be careful all the way!" Guo Hanjin reluctantly squeezed out a sentence, his face was rigid, and he was as ugly as he wanted.
"Okay, Lao Guo, you actually pretend to be like this when the king is gone, aren't you afraid that your group of subordinates will look at the jokes?" Feng Wuxian deliberately quipped, "Don't forget the king's instructions, Lord Song is not here, Fujian will rely on the two of you, don't poke out any baskets for this king, and no one will have time to protect you then." The latter sentence was said very lightly, but Guo Lu and the others heard it clearly, and the two nodded a little heavily.
Although Yue Qiyan is just married to a side room, there are still a lot of people in the Yue family to see him off, although Yue Qianjie is seriously injured, but he insists on being sent to the capital, so Yue Mingzhong has to let his son go on his behalf, after all, things in Fujian are messy, and he doesn't dare to leave easily. From a distance, the Yue family's convoy is not much inferior to the windless Qincha chacha, a long black lacquer carriage and full of dowry, fully showing the wealth of the Yue family. Many petty officials in the crowd cast envious glances, after all, even if they become officials for a lifetime, they can't accumulate much wealth, and Feng Wuxian can collect both people and wealth just by accepting a side concubine, which is really incomparable.
Song Junxian only briefly exchanged a few words with familiar people, and then hid in the carriage and did not come out, the governor led the military and political affairs of a province, and he, a person from a civilian background, suddenly took such an important position, so he decided to avoid suspicion. However, the officials below have already gotten the news, although they can't be very stammering because of Song Junxian's temperament, but there are still a lot of gifts.
Guo Hanjin and Lu Simang looked at the car in the distance, and sighed in their hearts. In the past, it was easy to invite God and difficult to send God, there are really not many people who are as sincere as today, if it weren't for the emperor's will, they really wanted this prince to stay for a few more days, at least they had to deal with Yao Mutong before leaving. Now that the two of them have a heavy burden on their shoulders, their hearts are really heavy.
Hai Ruolan's carriage was also caught in the chauffeur, and she didn't know what it was like in her heart. Thousands of miles to Fujian, but I haven't even seen my lover's face a few times, and I am really suspicious. But there is one thing that has always haunted her, the letter of reasoning without a trace has been gone for so long, how can the Hai family have a reply, and now that there is no news, she can't let go. Looking at the elated appearance of Li'er beside her, her heart was sinking towards the bottomless abyss.
Hongru in Beijing also got the news that Feng Wuxian had returned to Beijing, and seeing that her birth was approaching, she was not only looking forward to her husband's return as soon as possible, but also worried that the child in her womb would not be able to wait for birth. Fan Qingcheng saw that Hongru was restless all day, and his heart was even more uneasy. Although he didn't know that the Hai sisters might marry together, he knew that the master wanted to take another concubine, but he never dared to say it to Hong Ruzhi, for fear that a mistake would startle the fetus in the womb.
Since the last time Hongru was almost frightened in the palace, Fan Qingcheng has selected a few reliable servants to serve him closely, and the number of maids has also increased by four. Originally, everyone in the house called Hongru "Mrs. Hong", but this time Fan Qingcheng was worried that his master wanted to accept a concubine, so he set rules for all his subordinates, all of whom were called "Red Concubine", so as not to mess up the etiquette system.
Hongru was a little puzzled, and overnight, the whole house suddenly became extremely respectful to herself. Although Feng Wuxian has always asked his subordinates to strictly abide by the master and servant in order not to be disrespectful to himself in order not to inferiority himself, it is not as exaggerated as it is now. Because he was afraid of any more emergencies, Fan Qingcheng had to restrict Hongru from only being able to move in the backyard of the mansion, and Concubine Yu also acquiesced to Hongru's ability to go to the palace to ask for peace, so she had to go around the garden in a circle bored.
I vaguely heard the words of several girls on the side, and Hongru couldn't help but curiously open the flowers. I saw a few fourteen or fifteen-year-old rough little maids lazily rummaging around a flower garden, as if looking for flowers to break branches and put in vases. Listening to them chatting a few words, it was nothing more than some gossip among the people in the house, and Hongru couldn't help but lose interest. Just as she was about to leave, she heard a gossip in the cold, "Hey, have you heard?" His Royal Highness seems to be accepting a concubine again. A little maid suddenly smiled and said, "When can I become the concubine of His Royal Highness, I can also fly on the branches and become a phoenix like Sister Hongfei." ”
Hongru was taken aback, and was about to ask what was going on, when the Li family beside him shook the flowers and shouted: "Who discipline you, you are here in broad daylight, talking nonsense, grinding your teeth, are there any rules?" It's so bold to talk about the master's affairs at a young age! ”
The maids were still young, and when they looked back and saw Hongru stunned there, they immediately knew that they had caused a big disaster. The one who spoke just now fell to his knees with a thud, and he already opened his bow left and right and hit his mouth, "The slave and maid should die, the slave and the maid know that they are wrong, please be kind to the master, don't drive the slave and maid out." The others also knelt down, their faces all pale.
Hongru was stunned and listened to the Li family scolding those little maids, and her heart was already at a loss, no wonder everyone is weird these days, no wonder Fan Qingcheng's eyes are always dodging when he sees him, it turns out that Feng Wuxian is going to accept a concubine again. Didn't I know about this day, why do I still feel heartache? She clutched her chest with a pale face, and her body gradually softened. I could only vaguely hear the anxious voices of a few maids and servants in my ears.
"Who is the one who is quick to tell the story?" Fan Qingcheng stood in the courtyard with a blue face, and there were five or six small servants standing underneath. Those people were all selected by him personally, and he has always been responsible for exchanging news with Fujian, so he knows a lot about the extremely secret affairs of the first class. Although the master also said that the matter of the concubine was not a first-class secret, it was not something that ordinary rough maids could know, and it must have been the bastard in front of him who said it quickly. "If you honestly admit it, the most you can do is withdraw the errand and add a board. If anyone doesn't admit it, but someone else reveals it, I will immediately kick him out of the house! ”
A few little guys, you look at me, and then Dexi went out and knelt down. "Chief Qiyu, it was a slave who was quick to speak for a while, and showed his mouth in front of a girl. The slave deserves death, so you can punish the slave alone! ”
Fan Qingcheng was a little surprised, if Dexi was a person who was valued by the master himself, he also specially instructed him to cultivate more in the last letter. Even the invited Xixi was full of praise for this kid, how could he be the kind of person who didn't know how to measure? Although he was suspicious, but since he admitted it himself, Fan Qingcheng had to put his face on the face, "Dexi, it's not been a day or two since you entered the mansion, you should know the rules." Get rid of the errand you serve in your study, and take the twenty boards seriously! After receiving the punishment, let me sweep the yard, if there is anything wrong with the red concubine, I will never spare you! ”
Dexi kowtowed gratefully, but Unexpectedly, Deming next to him also fell to the ground with a thud, and said again and again: "Boss, it's all the fault of the minions, don't listen to Dexi's nonsense, punish the minions if you want to punish them!" ”
As soon as this head opened, everyone else also knelt down, which made Fan Qingcheng puzzled. He scolded angrily: "Enough, what the hell is going on? Explain it to me, or you will all be punished!" ”
This was self-defeating, and several people were stunned for a moment, and Deming told what happened, it turned out that he was in love with a maid in the backyard Hongru, so he spoke faster. The maid was also not angry that such an important matter was hidden from her master, so she picked up the one in the garden, who would have thought that the master would faint. For the sake of their brothers, they just want to bear this charge themselves.
"Nonsense!" Fan Qingcheng was really angry at this time, "The master's affairs can use you to be troublesome, all of them are usually elves enough, but they are all stupid in this matter!" Good for your moral name, you quietly hooked up with the personal maid of the red concubine, you are so bold! ”
Several of the little guys all regretted it, and De Ming was even more in tears, only knowing that he kowtowed. Several people were divided together when they entered the house, and their feelings have always been very good, and now they have all had the opportunity to study, so they just wanted to protect others. Fan Qingcheng couldn't help but sigh, if they broke into ordinary disasters, it would be fine, but Hongru was at a critical moment, and he didn't know what trouble would be when he was stimulated, even if he wanted to spare him, he had to wait for the master to speak.
"Steward!" Li, who was waiting for Hongru closely, hurriedly rushed over, his face looked much better than before, "Concubine Hong was only stimulated for a while just now, and the imperial doctor said that there was no big problem." ”
Several little guys exhaled at the same time, and Fan Qingcheng's face softened a little. "Okay, you don't have to kneel here, Deming himself will go and get the twenty boards, and the others will be recorded in the account first, and then they will be sent when His Highness comes back, so get out now! Remember to me, no one is allowed to spread anything in the future! ”
As if they had been granted amnesty, Dexi and the others immediately slipped out, leaving only Fan Qingcheng and Li in the courtyard. "Mother Li, I'm going to work hard for you lately. The maid next to Concubine Hong is too young and not sensible, so please take care of it. Alas, when His Highness returns, I don't even know how to explain it. ”
"Manager Fan rest assured, Concubine Hong is just in a hurry, she is usually supple, and she has always been used to being spoiled, and she has heard such a big reaction from His Royal Highness's concubine. Which prince and grandson is not three wives and four concubines, these days, as long as a woman marries a good husband, she is content, how dare she have extravagance? I'll persuade her again. The Li family turned around and left.
Fan Qingcheng smiled bitterly and shook his head, the Li family was sent by Prince Min, and he held on to those female trainees, presumably the prince was afraid that Hongru would dominate the master. He knows the master's temperament very well, and there will never be a new person who forgets the old one, and Hongru has served him for many years, and his affection is still there. Anyway, Hongru's father-in-law, Chen Lingcheng, is the person Feng Wuxian trusts the most.
