Chapter 30 The most ruthless thing in the world is the human heart
It is rare to fall a few points of rain, which makes the hot weather slightly cooler.
Fu Mingyue's crying was high and low, mixed with the sound of cicadas on the tree, which made people upset.
Fu Chengxun went out impatiently, outside the world of flowers, why did he suffer this torture at home?
Fu Chengze blocked his ears with cotton to read "The Mean", he was weak and didn't like to go out to play, preferring to read, write, and write. It's just that he is not particularly smart, and the Zhong family plans to find a way to send him to the Guozi Prison after he stabilizes.
Zhong couldn't help but complain to her husband: "The old lady is really getting more and more obscure! What Mrs. Zong said today, she had to agree without even thinking about it. If I hadn't stopped me, I'm afraid that I would have given Mingyue's eight characters to others! I'm such a daughter, how can I let her jump into the fire pit?! ”
"Okay, okay, don't be angry." Fu Yu said with a headache: "The old lady is just anxious, she has never seen much of the world, and when she heard Mrs. Zong say that, she thought it was a road." ”
"It has nothing to do with whether you have seen the world or not," Zhong wiped away her tears and said, "She wants to use her granddaughter to change her son's official position!" Anyway, if you are soaring, you will naturally have a group of wives and concubines, and you can have as many as you want! ”
"What is this saying? I could not have such a mind. Fu Yu said helplessly: "Mingyue's marriage is naturally decided by you and me, if you don't agree, I don't agree, how can it be done?" ”
It turned out that Zong Hong's wife came to Fu's house as a guest today, and the Zhong family was eager to ask a few more questions when talking to Mrs. Zong.
Of course, Mrs. Zong knew what she meant, so she said that her husband was only a fifth-grade official in the Ministry of Officials, and his power in his hands was limited.
If Fu Yu really wants to stay in Beijing and rise steadily, he needs to climb a higher branch.
He also said that there is a stupid son in the family of the current official Shangshu Yi, and the dignitaries in the capital refuse to marry him.
Mrs. Yi also said that their son is like this, and it is not easy to fight the idea of a noble family, but at least a girl from a good family with a clean background and a good knowledge can enter the door of the Yi family.
When Mrs. Zong saw Fu Mingyue, she felt that she was very suitable.
said that if this family business is completed, Fu Yu will not have to worry about his career, after all, the monk has become an in-law family, how can there be any reason not to take care of it.
At that time, the old lady of the Fu family was also beside her, and when she heard this, she couldn't help but be moved, and she hurriedly asked a few questions.
But the Zhong family was reluctant to let his beloved daughter marry a fool, so he stopped his mother-in-law, and Mrs. Zong naturally understood when she saw it, so she stopped and said no more.
"Humph! Mrs. Zong really treats us as turtles," Zhong said with a sneer at the corner of his mouth: "It's for our sake, who doesn't know what she is thinking?!" She is a matchmaker from it, so she naturally has to buy it at both ends, and use my daughter to curry favor with Shangguan for her husband, and she has such a good calculation! ”
"It's good that we understand in our hearts, and it's useless to talk too much. Just say this at home, don't spread it, you will need it in the future. Fu Yu said: "After all, looking at the entire capital, we only recognize them." In fact, I originally said that it is not easy to stay in Beijing, and we are good in the local area, but until now, I haven't seen a single trace of the eight characters. ”
Although Fu Yu has been a seven-grade county order in recent years, he has indeed lived a very prosperous life in the local area because of his good way of accumulating money.
Zhong Shi laughed angrily when he heard this, and said, "It seems that I want to be a lady!" Entering Beijing is just for the sake of my children, and I can't even find good relatives in the local area, and it is not easy to go to school. Where can it be compared to the powerful people everywhere in the capital, and Taixue! Besides, it took ten years to wait for such an opportunity, could it be in vain? ! ”
"I know you're thinking about this family, but now this situation can only be considered in the long run." Fu Yu said: "I am a father, and of course I feel sorry for my children." ”
"I'm even more angry when I talk about my children," Zhong Shi said with a sigh of relief, "If I had taken that girl out of my hometown and let her go to the temple to sacrifice herself, I would have been able to pray for our family to eliminate disasters and pray for blessings, and after ten years, I would have been able to marry that fool." ”
It turned out that Fu Yu had a wife before marrying Zhong, whose surname was Su Huaici, and he was a fellow villager.
The two had a daughter after they got married, but not long after the child was born, Su Huaici passed away, and Fu Yu had just been admitted to Xiucai at that time. He is being appreciated by Zhong's uncle and intends to marry his niece to him.
Zhong said that he "didn't want to be a concubine, and second, he didn't want to be a stepmother", so the Fu family abandoned the child.
The child was later taken away by Su Huaici's mother and raised until he was six or seven years old.
After Fu Yu and the Zhong family got married, they gave birth to a pair of dragon and phoenix fetuses, namely Fu Chengze and Fu Mingyue, who were only one year younger than the daughter born by Su Huaici.
But these two children were freaks with a chest and abdomen, which was really sensational at the time.
Fortunately, when these two children were a few months old, they met Master Qingluan, who came out of Xianyuan Mountain and traveled around, and separated the bodies of the two of them.
Later, a senior monk said that the reason why such a thing happened was because Fu Yu had a loss in virtue, and if he wanted to eliminate disasters and avoid disasters, he had to sacrifice himself to the temple.
At that time, Fu Yu had already gone to other places to make a county order. So he sent his servants back to his hometown to find the daughter he and Su Huaici had born, and prepared to let the child go to the temple to make sacrifices, but in the end it didn't work.
In the end, I had no choice, so I spent a hundred taels of silver to buy a child and send it away.
But the Zhong family always felt that this would be greatly discounted, because after all, there was no blood. It is very likely that because of this, Fu Yu has not been promoted for so many years.
"What do you do about the events of the year? It's not that I don't want to, it's all the wild monk who is getting in the way. Fu Yu didn't want to talk about it.
"Of course you don't want to mention it," Zhong became even more unhappy: "I know you can't forget that slut of the Su family, isn't she just a bewitching woman?" It's a pity that it didn't last long! ”
In the first few years of her marriage to Fu Yu, she kept her mouth shut about Su Huaici, and always felt that mentioning it was to give the other party a long face.
But as her children grew up, she didn't have so many scruples.
"Again, what are you doing with a dead man?" Fu Yu said helplessly.
"However, in any case, you must be a little wary of the Zong family in the future," Zhong said, "It is better to take another path, so as not to be used by them." ”
"Something else? Let's say it lightly! Is it the Sima family or the Gao family? Fu Yu smiled bitterly: "Or go directly to King Yong?" ”
"Don't be weird," Zhong Shi glanced at him and said, "We're just a guide to the people, as long as we can, with what we have in our hands, can't we exchange it for a six-grade Beijing official?" ”
I have to admit that the Zhong family does have some means, if it weren't for her help in planning and planning, Fu Yu might not be able to get to where he is today.
"Okay, you think about it more, I'll go see my daughter." Zhong Shi said and stood up: "Don't cry on this hot day. ”
Fu Mingyue and Fu Chengze have been in poor health since they were children, which makes the Zhong family worry a lot.
