224 The ups and downs of the world, the fate of good women
No matter how many ripples rippled in Yingfu's heart, he still did not show favoritism because of his unusual thoughts about Fan Sirui. After he returned, he immediately sent a letter to Sun Nian, explaining his views and dispositions together. Sun Nian naturally wouldn't refute his meaning.
Since then, Fan Sirui's father, Fan Yuan, the former county magistrate of Quyang County, was beheaded by Win Fu because of dereliction of duty and greed and the lives of the people, but remembering the innocence of his family, he was exempted from their sins.
Fan Sirui heard this verdict at home, her face was pale and chaotic. He was really upright, and she went out to please him, but she couldn't get a trace of mercy from him.
Mrs. Fan cried bitterly, either cursing Fan Yuan for being confused, or scolding Doctor Yu Shi for being ruthless. In the end, it was Fan Sirui who was to blame.
"What's the use of me giving birth to your daughter? The daughter of the family is smart and clever, married well, and can help her mother's family. What about you? What did you do to help the family? ”
Fan Sirui was extremely aggrieved, but she was ashamed of her experience in front of Yingfu and didn't dare to tell Mrs. Fan, otherwise, the scolding might be even more unbearable.
Fan Sirui's eldest brother Fan is really a student, but unfortunately he failed to win a place in Luoyang last year, so he had to prepare to show his skills in the next trial, so that His Majesty could appreciate him and revitalize the Fan family.
But now, something big has happened to the Fan family, and Fan Zhen is a lot duller. Mrs. Fan saw it and hurriedly comforted him.
"But now that his father is about to be beheaded, he is about to leave a criminal son in front of His Majesty, and it is not certain whether he can participate in the trial!"
Mrs. Fan's eyes widened, if things were really as Fan Zhen said, wouldn't it be possible for the Fan family to recover?
Mrs. Fan, who was so anxious, was so frightened that she broke out in a cold sweat, and when she saw Fan Sirui who was quietly wiping away tears, her mind became lively again, she took Fan Sirui's hand, and cried and begged: "Daughter, Rui'er, do you go and beg that Imperial Doctor again?" Ask him to speak well of your brother before His Majesty? Seeing that Fan Sirui was just crying and didn't speak, Mrs. Fan continued to cry and said, "What happened to you at the beginning...... We...... I am not familiar with him yet, and it is normal to ask him for nothing. Tell him again, okay? When I'm a mother, please! ”
Seeing that Mrs. Fan was kneeling down to herself, Fan Sirui's heart was entangled like a hemp rope, and when she saw her brother's pleading eyes, she finally agreed with tears in her eyes for a long time.
So after an interval of three days, Ying Fu met the boldest woman he had ever seen in his life - Fan Sirui.
"Do you want to come and ask me for your father? I will not bend the law for personal gain. ”
Before she took a look, Fan Sirui was blocked by Ying Fu's words. She smiled bitterly, and the sourness in her heart wanted to drown her even more, "Doctor Yushi, the folk girl has no such intention. The father of the folk girl is ...... The sin deserves it, but I ...... "I am here to intercede today?" Ask him to say a few kind words for his brother? Isn't it whimsical? She knew it herself. People are not related to her, and she is in a high position, it is a great gift to be able to listen to herself, and she still has the luxury of getting an inch?
"You," Ying Fu paused, and then asked, "What do you really want?" ”
Fan Sirui was stabbed by this sentence and was embarrassed, in front of the man who made her heart, how sad should she be when her dignity was discarded by herself again? Thinking of this, tears welled up in his eyes, and he immediately hid his face and ran away.
Ying Fu was still stunned, and then, with a sigh, said to himself: "Women's minds are many and treacherous, and they can't guess it." ”
Fan Sirui cried and left the office of Yingfu Office, and hurriedly ran to the street, crying alone, which made her like a pear blossom in the drizzle, beautiful and pitiful.
A person saw it on the side of the street, and he thought about it, and asked someone to find out where Fan Sirui came from and her family history.
None of this is known to Fan Sirui. She did not complete her mother's earnest advice, and when she returned, she would face the disappointment and curse of her mother, Mrs. Fan, and the loss of her brother.
No, she couldn't resist, she could only endure in silence. She longs for the day when someone can truly pity her and love her, instead of using her like this, she can't use it, and she has endless resentment.
After two days of such a noisy and noisy operation, seeing that the day of beheading Fan was approaching day by day, Mrs. Fan's mother and son were still frightened and panicked. Sometimes, as she spoke, Mrs. Fan began to beat and scold Fan Sirui.
"Mother, don't fight again!" Fan Zhen, who hurriedly walked in from outside, stopped Mrs. Fan and said distressedly.
Fan Sirui thought that her brother's conscience had found out, but who knows, the next sentence will send her to hell.
"If you hurt your sister, if people don't look down on her, you will regret it!"
Mrs. Fan looked ignorant and asked, "What do you mean by this?" Are you saying that someone has a crush on your sister? ”
Fan Zhen nodded and said, "Someone told me that as long as he marries his sister to him, he will intercede for his father!" ”
"Really?" Mrs. Fan grabbed Fan Zhen's wrist without realizing it.
"It's true!" Fan Zhen didn't lie, but he didn't say it all, because the most important thing was that the man promised that he would find someone to intercede for him in front of His Majesty, and ask for grace so that he could participate in the next trial in peace. As long as you get Your Majesty's appreciation, everything will be fine at home.
"That's good! Did they say when they would pick up your sister? Mrs. Fan heard that people had no intention of going through the normal matchmaking procedure, which can only show that the other party only wanted to accept Fan Sirui. At first, I thought that I would wronged my daughter, but then I thought that since that person has the ability to find someone to say in front of His Majesty, the family power must not be small, so my daughter will not lose if she passes. What's more, it was the man who asked for it himself?
Mentioning this, Fan Zhen frowned, and said, "He said ......" Fan Zhen was wary of Fan Sirui at this time, stopped talking, and lied to Mrs. Fan and Fan Sirui: "He said that he would solve his father's matter first before he could propose marriage to our family." ”
"Good, good!" Mrs. Fan even said a few good things, the folds on her face were stretched, and she said with a smile: "This is a good thing, we can rest assured." ”
Yes, they are relieved, they don't have to worry about the glory and wealth dissipating once they want, they only need to give away a budding girl to be released, and they can guarantee the wealth of another three generations.
And all this, without asking Fan Sirui on the side without saying a word. Why is that? Ever since you heard the news, you have treated her as an outsider? Even when she's a real cargo? This so-called good thing is to exchange it for the rest of her life. Whether she is living well or not is not what the mother and son in front of her care about at all. She just cares about how much her husband's family she marries into can help her.
She didn't want to stay here, she just left in a daze. But I don't know what Fan Zhen and Mrs. Fan are muttering.
"Mother, the man promised me that if we send my sister over, he would not only intercede for our father and help me intercede, but also give us a hundred and twenty horses. In addition, the hairpin ring is not counted. ”
"So good? Such a good marriage was actually touched by my daughter? God forbid! ”
Isn't this kind of marriage superior? Fan Sirui didn't know, and she didn't want to think about it. She just thought, should she go back to begging that good-hearted imperial doctor? Ask him to take him in? However, is it appropriate to ask for someone who is almost an enemy in this way?
In the end, she just walked around in front of Yingfu's mansion for a few laps, and after returning home as a walking corpse, she fell asleep.
When nightfall, she was very hungry and went to look for food, and happened to hear the upside-down conversation between Mrs. Fan and Fan Zhen. After listening to it for a long time, she finally understood that she was finally sent to be a concubine by her own mother and brother. The expectations of the days to come were instantly shattered by reality.
When she opened her eyes to dawn, she took a broken tile, cut it on her wrist with a ruthless heart, and fainted to the ground as she watched the blood flow.
