Chapter 101: Strife (1)
Chinese New Year is a custom that has been handed down since a long time ago, and it was born from human sacrifice activities in ancient times, but people have endowed it with mythical legends in the long course of history.
Originally, it was a cheerful and festive festival, and people of the clan would gather together for a reunion dinner. Some, however, are destined to suffer separation.
"Oh, where the hell are you!" Feng Xian looked at the smell (i.e., the sachet) in his hand, and couldn't help but feel a little like seeing things and thinking about people.
It is said that when people in this era were still minors, both men and women had the custom of wearing sachets. The sachet in Feng Xian's hand was sewn by his fiancée, Ren Hongchang, with the word "he" embroidered on one side and two koi on the other. And the same sachet actually has another one. Back then, Ren Hongchang sewed a pair of almost identical sachets, and each of them wore one, in order to place their feelings on this item. And where has Ren Hongchang gone now?
It turned out that Yuan Shao and others entered the palace that day, whether they were eunuchs or not, as long as they saw those who did not have a beard, they would be caught and killed. The palace ladies were frightened by this bloody scene, so they all fled the palace one after another. It wasn't until the matter calmed down that most of the palace maids who escaped from the palace returned, but there were still a few who did not return. Some of them fled back to their hometowns, and some of them were secretly taken home by some officials to be their maidservants because they were more beautiful.
said that Ren Hongchang was born with the color of the country, and was met by several soldiers halfway through. The soldiers were tempted for a while, and after a little discussion, they planned to kidnap her lightly. Who knew that a few people had just succeeded, but they happened to meet Henan Yin Wang Yun leading troops into Beijing passing by, so Ren Hongchang hurriedly called Wang Yun for help.
When Wang Yun learned of this, he ordered someone to teach the soldiers a lesson, and then drove them away. Immediately, Wang Yun took a closer look. Suddenly there was a shocked expression. After thinking about it for a while, he took her back to the mansion, intending to keep it for himself and enjoy it slowly. Since then, she has become his singer. In this regard, although she is not willing in her heart, she is helpless, just because she has no ability to change her experience.
Because it was about to be the New Year, Wang Yuncai suddenly remembered to ask her about the situation at home, and said, "Diao Chan, do you have any relatives in your family now?" ”
Ren Hongchang replied: "Back to the master's words." The slave maid had a father and a brother in the family. ”
"Oh." Wang Yun nodded, and asked again: "Then did you have a marriage in your early years?" ”
Ren Hongchang replied: "In his early years, he had set a family affair, but he had to keep filial piety for his deceased father, so he failed to fulfill the marriage contract as scheduled. ”
Wang Yun smiled and said, "Look at how cute you look, I think your fiancé must not be an ordinary man, right?" ”
Ren Hongchang said: "He and the slave maid are both from Yangqu County, surnamed Lu Mingbu, and the word Fengxian; Because he had followed his father to the Wuyuan Army in his early years, the villagers used to call him "Flying General"; Master, you are from Qi County, not far away. I guess I've heard people talk about it, right? ”
When Wang Yun heard this, he couldn't help but be a little dumbfounded.
Ren Hongchang was a little strange when he saw this, so he asked, "Master, what's wrong with you?" ”
"Oh. It's nothing. Wang Yun came back to his senses, his expression was a little unnatural, and then he smiled and said, "I have heard of the reputation of your fiancé. I think he should be a hero. ”
Ren Hongchang smiled and said, "Master, you have won the prize." ”
Wang Yun smiled and said, "Diao Chan, you have been in my house for a while; I see that you are very wise and virtuous. Why don't you accept you as my daughter? ”
Ren Hongchang couldn't help but say: "How dare a slave and maid climb high? ”
Wang Yun said, "Hey, I said you can, you can; Okay, that's it, and you'll be my daughter in the future. ”
Ren Hongchang couldn't help but bow: "The slave and maid thank the master for lifting up." ”
Wang Yun couldn't help but say, "Hey, why haven't you changed your mind?" ”
Ren Hongchang said: "No, my daughter will meet her father-in-law." ”
Wang Yun helped her up with a smile and said, "Haha, okay, I'm so happy today; Come on, take the young lady down to freshen up and dress up, don't slack off. ”
"No." The waiter on the side replied respectfully.
Immediately, Ren Hongchang owed a debt to Wang Yun, and went down with the maid.
Suddenly, Wang Yun couldn't help but sigh and said, "Alas, I didn't expect that this woman was actually the fiancée that Lu Fengxian had been looking for, if I wanted him to know that I had an affair with her, it would probably be difficult to end up; I'll have to think of a way to protect myself. ”
Immediately, Wang Yun planned to wait until the end of the New Year to visit Fengxian, but for a while, he hadn't thought about what gifts to bring.
Speaking of the traditional Chinese custom, when visiting others, you always bring some gifts, and in different situations, you should bring different types of gifts. But this set is all false etiquette in the eyes of people like us in Fengxian, and there is no need for it. If you have something important, just say it directly, and you will not refuse if you can help.
So, Wang Yun planned to get some words from Ren Hongchang to find out what kind of person Feng Xian was.
Subsequently, Ren Hongchang finished grooming, changed into gorgeous clothes and came to meet Wang Yun, and said, "Father-in-law." ”
When Wang Yun saw this, he immediately looked a little stunned. Immediately, he couldn't help but slowly step forward, picked her chin, and exclaimed, "It's so beautiful! ”
At this time, Ren Hongchang couldn't help but say, "Father-in-law, aren't you already planning to accept slaves and maids as righteous daughters?" ”
When Wang Yun heard this, he was immediately taken aback, and immediately took a step back, smiled awkwardly and said, "The father-in-law is really rude, don't be surprised by your daughter?" ”
Ren Hongchang said: "My daughter doesn't dare. ”
Wang Yun smiled, and couldn't help but say again: "Daughter, my father-in-law plans to find an errand for your fiancé, can you tell your father-in-law how he is and what talents he has?" ”
Ren Hongchang bowed down and said, "There is a righteous father; Feng Xian's family education has been very strict since he was a child, abiding by the rules and etiquette, and treating others very generously; In his early years, he followed his father to serve in the army and garrison, both civil and military, not only knew how to manage political affairs, but also was good at commanding the army, especially good at horse warfare. ”
"Oh." Wang Yun nodded and said, "That's good." ”
Ren Hongchang couldn't help but ask again: "Father-in-law, I don't know if Feng Xian is so capable, can he find a better errand?" ”
Wang Yun smiled and said: "Oh, don't worry, my daughter, my father-in-law will definitely find a good errand for him; Does he have any hobbies? ”
Ren Hongchang replied: "He likes to ride and hunt the most on weekdays, and there is nothing beside him." ”
"Is that all?" Wang Yun looked a little incredulous.
Ren Hongchang couldn't help but think for a while, and said: "Dance and ink are often used, but they are not common; In addition, he is also good at playing the kite, and he used to accompany him, and his daughter danced. ”
"Doesn't he have any favorite treasures? Like a magic weapon, or a good horse, a BMW, or something like that? Wang Yun couldn't help but ask again.
Ren Hongchang replied: "Divine weapons, good horses and BMWs, are loved by men who practice martial arts; It's just, what does the stepfather ask for this? ”
"Oh, it's nothing, I just want to see if he can show filial piety." Wang Yun couldn't help but say.
Ren Hongchang nodded and said, "I see." ”
Wang Yun said again: "Okay, it's a little cold, you can go back to the room quickly; Your fiancé's father-in-law will plan it for him, and when he is on the rise, your father-in-law will marry you both, so that the two of you can appear to be a good match. ”
Ren Hongchang bowed down and said, "Thank you father-in-law, the daughter will retire." ”
From then on, she became his righteous daughter again. Although she didn't know why he was so merciful, she was very happy that she didn't have to be a lowly and famous singer anymore. Especially if your future husband can get a good job because of herself.
The world is unpredictable. Such a simple and kind woman, in the case of her own unbearable situation, is still thinking about the way out for her sweetheart. It's no wonder that Feng Xian will always be in love with her, such a woman is indeed worth it. (To be continued......)
