Chapter 19: Good People
The owner of the Anxi Metropolitan Protector Mansion in Qiuzi City has never been a serious Anxi Metropolitan Protector, because this position is usually led by the princes and nobles, such as Li Linfu, who has been in power for nearly 20 years, has never been to this mansion since he took over.
The system of the imperial court began, far away from thousands of miles, naturally it is not good to let a huge mansion be so empty, after the implementation of the festival degree, it is logical that this place is secluded as the four towns of the festival degree envoy, two sets of teams and a set of people, but it will not feel crowded.
In ancient times, most of the palaces were the front and back palaces, even the imperial palace was no exception, and the same is true here, symbolizing the authority of the six sides of the festival has long been with the new master, and now only a few empty pillars remain, waiting for them to return.
There are also a few white flags hanging in the house, which are set up for the old Zhongcheng, and according to the custom, they will only be finally removed after the new worship is completed, as a sign of respect and mourning.
In fact, when Wang Zhengjian took over as the envoy of the two towns, his family members stayed in Beiting and did not move, first, they were too busy to take care of it, and secondly, both places were his jurisdictions, so it was not good to favor one over the other, and leaving his family on that side was somewhat a gesture.
Who would have thought that less than a year after taking over, he passed away for a long time, when the relatives of the family came, only had time to see the last face, stopped for three months, and waited until the imperial court edict came down, and the descendants of the official knight and the shadow were not mentioned, this delay was more than a month, according to the old man's wishes, the coffin was to return to his hometown, that is, the northern capital Taiyuan, where is the root of the Wang family.
Under the escort of the civil and military forces and the people in the city, Wang Zhengjian's coffin and his family went on the road, and the huge mansion was empty again, and the new governor of the festival was sealed Changqing, and naturally became the master of the house.
The population of the Feng family is not much, before he made his career, it was just a broken family in this city, married a daughter of a criminal family who was sent to a distant place, it is said that it is still from a large family of Gaomen, but it is a pity that in the previous political struggles, he was purged and exiled, where is there any room for choice, so Feng Changqing is also a serious Han person, although it is a little more difficult, it is better than the Hu people, in the minds of those who come from the high gate, the blood is untainted.
In this way, the unemployed vagrant and the semi-disabled Feng Changqing actually married a girl from a delicate family, which also became an interesting story in Qiuzi City at that time.
Since the Zheng family passed through the door, she has also been careful to abide by the women's way, waiting for her grandfather to help her husband, and in the poor Feng family at home, everything has to be done by herself, taking care of housework during the day, and spinning and weaving threads at night, and it is also thanks to her ability that the family will not be ruined.
After just a few years of hard work, the two gave birth to a pair of children, and Feng Changqing, who was nearly thirty years old, suddenly became ruthless after having an heir, and even asked Gao Xianzhi, who was the envoy of Anxi soldiers and horses at the time, to be a servant, and it was an interesting story that was talked about by people in the city.
But who would have thought that Feng Cripple would actually prosper in this official fortune, rising step by step every year, leaving those colleagues with a much higher background far behind, only seven years of hard work, has risen to the deputy envoy of the four towns under 10,000 people, and after staying, less than a year later, the people of Qiuzi City suddenly discovered.
This thirty-year-old unemployed vagrant, who was once ridiculed by them, has become an unattainable existence from above, the master of the land of the four towns of Anxi!
This is simply a brain hole that the author of the online article does not dare to open, an inspirational blockbuster with a disability, but unfortunately, this scene was not seen by his parents, because he was orphaned and poor since he was a child, and was raised by his grandfather, and after his death, only a few of them were left in the entire Feng family.
A wife, a son and a daughter, such a configuration is almost unique for such a high-ranking official as a town.
Twenty years have passed, the young girl of that year, has already become a housewife, due to excessive hard work, Zheng looks, much older than the actual age, a pair of hands are also rough as rough skin, because often show up, the weathered face is also wrinkled, looking not like a woman in her forties at all.
In the main house in the backyard of the Dadu Protectorate, those furnishings that look very fine are actually all left by the predecessor, Zheng is a simple person, too lazy to change the layout, just moved the original loom in the house, and it looks a little nondescript.
Today's Feng family, has long been different from the past, there is no longer any need for her to weave cloth by hand, but who does not know, this is a hobby of the master's mother, not a demand, whenever the loom sounds, it is like an ordinary woman in the back house to eat fast and read Buddha, just to get a peace of mind.
Today, all the subordinates even walk lightly, for fear of making any noise, because the loom "squeaks" again.
It was a very rudimentary swing machine, thick threads wound around an octagonal wooden shelf, which she shook evenly, and slowly sent the shuttles, wisps of which were wound around each other, and a dark white cloth gradually took shape at a speed visible to the naked eye, and her eyes showed a look of satisfaction, as if she saw the hope of being able to exchange food for a family.
What high door, what knot, is not as good as this moment, which makes her feel a sense of accomplishment.
Beside her, there was a small figure kneeling, motionless watching her mother's movements, this picture has not changed since she was sensible, even if she moved all the way from the grass hut to the big house, it is still the same.
The girl was wearing a dark brocade cloth jacket, and her waist was cinched, except for the neckline was on the right side, all of them were in the style of Hu Fu, but in her eyes, not only was the coarse cloth clothes her mother was wearing, but even the cloth was woven by herself, and she couldn't help but look at it in a daze, and her eyes were red.
"Silly boy." Seeing her gaze, Zheng didn't know, rolled up the woven cloth and put it aside, picked up a handkerchief and wiped it for her, and then rubbed it on his hand.
"Mother." The girl couldn't help but throw herself into her arms and choked up.
Zheng sighed, touched his daughter's soft hair, and said softly: "My mother wears self-woven clothes, comfortable, after so many years, don't you understand?" ”
"I know, he's back, your heart is very messy, this is a lifetime thing, clothes are uncomfortable only when you put on your body, you know, men are not reliable, after a few days to understand, Gorou has known you since childhood, in your eyes, there is only him, but in his eyes, but in his eyes, it is not only you, if your heart can't get by, life will be very difficult, if that's the case, the mother is fighting everything, and will not let you marry him, the mother is your daughter, I don't want you to suffer, and I don't want you to regret it."
"Back then, did my mother regret it?"
The girl's question made her stunned, and Zheng suddenly seemed to go back to more than 20 years ago, when she heard that the man she was going to marry was old, ugly, poor and lame, she even had the heart to hang herself, but how did she get through the door in the end? I can't remember it for a while, do you regret it? I really can't tell.
"Your dad is a good man." Thinking about it, she only had this one sentence to say.
"Gorou is also a good person."
The girl's words made her laugh out loud: "Manguizi City, I'm afraid that only you will say that he is a good person, even your father, love is loved, and words against your heart are absolutely unspeakable." ”
The girl's face slowly turned red, and she buried herself tightly in her mother's arms, and just as Zheng was about to persuade again, she heard only a very faint but resolute voice.
"Gorou is a good person."
