Chapter 45: Fate
"The two families of Qiu Xin are married, and Ji Jun has two generals, which is like a tiger with wings! But if the Tong Xin family marries, and you have all the money and money, the Overseer will be stuck in the throat and will not be able to sleep well! Before you do turn against you, the Overseer's advisors will remind him to pull out your one* that could explode at any moment, and at that point, whether or not the Overseer does it, our Tong family's position in his heart will be shaken. Compared with the friendship between a woman and Qiu Tong's two families for decades, which is more important?! ”
Tong Guangting said and looked at his son's gradually pale face, knowing that he still listened to what he said, so he said, "You think about it carefully, and give me an answer tomorrow morning." ”
After that, Tong Guangting went back to the room to rest, leaving Tong Fengyi alone in the room to quietly watch the moonlight and time pass......
In the early morning of the next day, Tong Guangting and Tong Yuanshi saw that their son did not come out for breakfast, so they went to his son's room to look for him, but he didn't expect Tong Fengyi to still sit in his position last night, as if he hadn't slept or moved all night, Tong Yuanshi thought of what had happened these days, and saw his son's haggard face, and suddenly wet the corners of his eyes, Tong Guangting's heart was bitter, and he slowly squatted in front of his son, and wanted to say a few words of comfort, but he heard his son say: "Father, I won't mention the matter of marrying Xiao'er again, I'll go to Zeyuan now and persuade him to agree to marry Xiao'er." As for my marriage, it's all up to you, I don't have any opinion, I will do whatever you say. ”
Tong Fengyi was about to go out after speaking, and his body shook a few times without taking two steps, Tong Yuanshi supported him, took out a silk handkerchief and wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes, and said, "Eat something first and then go, don't be in a hurry at this time." ”
Tong Fengyi nodded and said with a wry smile: "Mother is right, how can you be the future head of the Tong family if you don't eat?" Not to mention, to protect the Qiu Tong family......"
Tong Guangting knew that his son was saying this to him, so he said: "Feng Yi, as long as you promise to give up Xin Daiyi and not touch the women who are born in the family, as many other women as you want, your father will give you as much as you want, if you don't like the girls of the He family, you can marry a few concubines......"
"Father, you also said that it is easy to make trouble when there are too many women, don't you and Uncle Qiu only have one wife? What do I want all those vulgar fans for? ”
"And what do you want?"
"What I want most in my life is already unwanted, and there is no difference between what I have or what I don't have." After just one night's separation, Tong Fengyi's voice revealed the depth and heaviness of the vicissitudes of life, which made Tong Guangting feel both relieved and distressed, but he couldn't take care of it at this time, so he could only try his best to arrange his son's marriage properly, and try to let him get the greatest comfort in this marriage that he was reluctant to do......
After Tong Fengyi adjusted his mood, he went to the Overseer's Mansion to look for Qiu Zeyuan, but found that Qiu Zeyuan and Xin Daiyi were kneeling together in the side hall of yesterday's discussion. He found Ah Ping, who usually took care of Qiu Zeyuan, and asked him what was going on.
Ah Ping replied: "Young Master Tong, the young master and Miss Xin have been kneeling here since last night, the overseer is in the overseer office to discuss important military and political affairs with the generals, no outsiders are allowed to disturb, there is no way to report the news to the overseer, the lady is dissatisfied with the young master to leave that wild ......" Ah Ping originally wanted to follow the master and the lady to call the wild seed, but thinking that the master in front of him was of the same mind as the young master, he changed it to "child".
Tong Fengyi didn't want to worry about him in such trivial matters, so he asked directly, "Madam doesn't want to take care of the young master?" ”
Ah Ping scratched his head and replied: "This Ah Ping can't say it well, just take care of it, Mrs. didn't say a word of comfort to the young master, say no matter, Mrs. deliberately got up at night and glanced at the young master......"
"Okay, I know, you go and pass the meal, and bring it here right away." Tong Fengyi interrupted Ah Ping's words and commanded.
Ah Ping scratched his head again, "Young Master Tong, you also know that there are rules in the house, and the kitchen does not cook food when it is not the time of meal, and now it is all ......" Ah Ping said and pointed to the sun in the sky.
"The rules are all set by people, and the rules are for people to eat regularly and recuperate on weekdays, is it normal time now? If the young master is hungry, can you afford it? Let's just say that the Overseer said to make some soft food for the young master, and I'll take care of what happens. ”
Ah Ping heard Tong Fengyi say this, and hurriedly ran to the kitchen. Tong Fengyi walked behind Qiu Zeyuan and Xin Daiyi, and after thinking for a while, he stood beside Qiu Zeyuan, and said: "Zeyuan, get up, it's not a way to go on like this, you don't eat or drink like this will only anger Uncle Qiu and make him hate Xin Daiyuan and the child in her belly even more." ”
Qiu Zeyuan's originally clear voice was like being invaded by the roaring and raging sand, if it weren't for Tong Fengyi's familiarity with his pronunciation, he wouldn't understand what he was talking about, "I don't know that this is embarrassing my father?" But I really can't think of a better way. ”
Tong Fengyi looked at him as a person who didn't look like a ghost or a ghost, so he could only continue to persuade: "You are a person who kills on the battlefield, it is okay not to sleep all night or eat for a day, but can you think about it for Xiao'er?" When had she ever suffered such a sin? ”
Xin Daiyi heard Tong Fengyi say this, and just wanted to say something to refuse, but found that her voice was even more hoarse than Qiu Zeyuan, kneeling all night had already made her in a trance, and now she still wanted to speak hard, which made her even more powerless, and the blue and white glaze red porcelain vase in front of her gradually turned from one to two, and then from two to four, and finally she couldn't support it and fell to the side. Seeing this, Tong Fengyi hurriedly helped Xin Daiyi up, and wanted to leave with her directly, but thinking of the promise he had just made to his father, he could only hug her in vain, try his best to stabilize his voice and ask: "Xiao'er, listen to Brother Feng Yi, eat something first, and then rest in the guest room, okay?" ”
Xin Daiyi tried all her strength to shake her head, but it seemed to others that she was motionless, but Tong Fengyi saw what she meant, and he understood that as long as Qiu Zeyuan didn't get up and didn't eat, she wouldn't leave for a moment.
"Zeyuan!"
Qiu Zeyuan heard Tong Fengyi's voice, opened his eyes and looked at Xin Daiyi, who was dying in Tong Fengyi's arms, and said, "Feng Yi, you can take Xiao'er away first......
"Qiu Zeyuan! Look at her, look at her now, if you don't get up, she won't leave even if she dies here! For the sake of a Xin Daiyun, you really don't care about anything, do you?! Regardless of your parents' feelings, regardless of the lives of Xiao'er, and the bitter persuasion of so many people who truly love you......" Tong Fengyi asked in a sad voice.
But no matter what he said, Qiu Zeyuan didn't react, Xin Daiyi heard Tong Fengyi's question about Qiu Zeyuan, and tried to shake Tong Fengyi's placket, wanting to ask him not to do this to Qiu Zeyuan, but he couldn't speak.
Tong Fengyi saw Xin Daiyi's appearance, his eyes gradually became blood-red, and suddenly, he helped Xin Daiyi up and knelt down, and he knelt heavily on the ground with a thud. He thought in his heart, "It's just a death, and I'll accompany you!"
So Ah Ping violated the rules and brought the food became useless, yesterday the two ancestors kneeling here have made him scratch his ears and cheeks, and now there is one more, Ah Ping can only run to beg Mrs. in a hurry, Qiu Min heard that there is one more person kneeling, thinking that if they don't get up again, the body is afraid that it really can't stand it, so he sent two people, one to find Xin Zhaoxun, one to find Tong Guangting, and ask Tong Guangting to find Qiu Jiyuan, because only Tong Guangting can see Qiu Jiyuan when Qiu Jiyuan ordered "no one is allowed to enter".
After that, Qiu Min personally rushed to the side hall of the house, saw the three children kneeling in a row, sighed in his heart, walked to Tong Fengyi's side and said: "Feng Yi, Zeyuan is messing around, why are you also confused?" Let your father see that it's time to beat you again, get up. ”
"Uncle, do you think I'm willing to do this? If Zeyuan does not agree to keep Xin Daiyun's child, Xin Daiyuan will threaten Zeyuan with her life, and Zeyuan can only promise her to keep the child. Xiao'er is kneeling here for Zeyuan, if something goes wrong with Zeyuan, she will definitely not live alone in the world. And I, if I am a child...... Something happened to Hezeyuan, the Qiu family has no queen, and the Ji army has no future, where does the lord want me to assist? Where is the inheritance that I want to protect? ”
Xin Zhaoxun and Xin Lan's saw that their daughter had not returned overnight, so they had planned to go to the Overseer's Mansion to find out, but after getting the news on the way, they rushed non-stop, and then they happened to hear Tong Fengyi's words like weeping, and they felt even more embarrassed.
When Qiu Min saw Xin Zhaoxun and his wife, he vented all the resentment that had accumulated in these days on them, Xin Zhaoxun could only protect his wife step by step, no matter what ugly words Qiu Min scolded him, he could only bear it silently. Until a deep and majestic voice called out, "Azusa!" Qiu Min stopped after seeing her husband.
Qiu Jiyuan's eagle-sharp gaze took in the expressions of everyone present, and finally he stopped his gaze on Tong Guangting, Tong Guangting understood his intentions and immediately dragged Tong Fengyi away with another servant.
Qiu Jiyuan glanced at Xin Daihuai, who was on the verge of despair, motioned to Xin Lan's family to go over and feed her daughter a sip of water, then walked up to her son and squatted down, and said: "Zhao Yu is menacing, and he has captured the three cities of Zhaoning, Pingyi, and Xinhe. ”
Qiu Zeyuan originally thought that his father would definitely reprimand him when he returned home, but he didn't expect that the first thing his father said was that the war ahead was dangerous, and he wanted to drive the expedition in person! For a moment, worry, guilt, nervousness, and panic...... He would rather his father blame him, blame him, beat him, and scold him, rather than his father not saying a word and looking at him with such calm eyes.
"But I see that you don't eat, drink, or sleep for the sake of the woman you love, and you shouldn't have the strength to go to the front with me to kill the enemy now. You should keep your woman and your children at home and enjoy themselves. Saying that, Qiu Jiyuan walked out without looking back......
