As soon as Mrs. Pingnanhou was helped up, Fu Yunlang cried again as if the switch had been pressed: "Mother, I hurt so much." ”

Mrs. Pingnanhou's lips moved, and she saw that her eldest son was about to speak, just in front of her eldest son's eyes full of solemnity, and what she wanted to say was stuck in her throat.

"If my mother is coquettish because of his crying, she will intercede for him, then I will punish him with ten more lashes." Fu Yunkai's face sank like water, and his words were merciless, "If your body can't stand it, you can fight separately." After beating the remaining five lashes, wait for his body to scab over, and then hit the ten more lashes. In short, it will not hurt his life. ”

"No, no, no......" When Mrs. Pingnanhou heard this, she waved her hand again and again, "I don't plead, you fight, you can finish these ten whips, don't add more." ”

The eldest son had been whipped a lot by his father when he was a child, and Mrs. Pingnanhou knew this kind of whipping very well.

If he is punished with ten lashes in a row, then after the fifth lash, the person who gave the punishment will subconsciously relax his strength, lest the person being whipped will not be able to bear it, and he will deliberately prevent him from fainting, so as to remember the pain. Before you make a mistake next time, think about the pain and maybe you can stop being stupid.

But if the punishment is separated, the strength of these ten lashes is solid.

The most important thing is that as soon as the wound has scabbed over, it is whipped again, and the wound is opened, and one lash is equivalent to the pain of two lashes, and the sin of the person will only be greater. She is pleading now, which is to harm her younger son.

When Fu Yunkai heard his mother's words, he immediately ordered his subordinates: "Help Mrs. go back." ”

Mrs. Pingnanhou couldn't bear to see her youngest son suffer here anymore, so she held the hand of the maid and walked slowly.

Fu Yunkai looked at Fu Yunlang expressionlessly, and when he saw that he had shut his mouth suddenly, he raised the whip and continued to whip his back.

"Ahh......h

After the whipping was completed, Fu Yunkai asked Fu Yunlang to give him Jinchuang medicine, helped him back to the room, and then went to the main courtyard and knelt straight in front of the door of Mrs. Pingnanhou's house.

Mrs. Pingnanhou got the maid's report, hurried out, and said irritably: "You, what are you doing?" ”

Fu Yunkai knelt straight and hugged his mother: "My son is not filial, please punish my mother." ”

Seeing that her eldest son, who looked more and more like her husband in terms of appearance and style, Mrs. Pingnanhou felt very powerless.

"Get up, my mother didn't mean to blame you." She helped her eldest son up with her own hands, turned around and went back to the house and sat down.

Seeing that her eldest son also followed, she said slowly: "I know that you and your father both complain that I raised Yun Lang delicately." The children of our military generals' family, how can they not endure hardship. But you also understand and understand me. ”

She cried, covered her mouth with a handkerchief, pointed outside, and said, "In this Manchu Mansion, except for me, that is, your brother is related to me by blood." You and your father have not returned home for many years, who else can I have besides your brother? How can I be willing to let him suffer again? If you want to take him to the border, what is the difference between this and ripping out my heart? ”

"Why don't you go to the palace and tell the emperor about this?" Fu Yunkai said lightly.

Mrs. Pingnanhou's crying suddenly stopped, and Liang Jiufang said weakly: "I...... I didn't mean that. ”

"What do you mean by that?" Fu Yunkai's voice was not high, and his tone was not hurried, but every word seemed to knock on the bottom of people's hearts, "Since the emperor has opened his mouth, our house has no point to say, if you don't beat Yun Lang a few whips, what do you let the emperor think?" ”

Mrs. Pingnanhou also knows that her husband and the mansion can have today's status, in addition to her husband's military exploits, it is also because of the emperor's attention. There are many soldiers at the border gates, but the husband is the first one who can enter the eyes of the emperor and let him be promoted.

"I ...... I didn't mean to stop you. I'm just a little sad and want you to understand my struggles. ”

"Thank you mother for your kindness." Fu Yunkai bowed to his mother.

After being silent for a while, he said again: "In addition, my family, don't worry, mother, I want to see for myself." When I have chosen someone, my mother will call someone to come to the door to propose marriage. ”

"How does this work?" Mrs. Pingnanhou was anxious all of a sudden, "This can't work!" ”

"Why not?" Fu Yunkai looked at his mother.

"You don't know those noble girls, how do you know who is good and who is not? Don't be like your brother and be smehered by a woman who wants to marry her alive or dead. I am not allowed to marry someone like that who only confuses men and behaves misbehaps. ”

"I'm not going to be like him. But I have my own reasoning. Fu Yunkai stood up, "Anyway, my family, don't worry, mother." Even if you like someone, you asked me first. If I agree, I'll take the next step and don't assert myself. If I don't like it, I won't marry you even if you agree with someone! ”

With that, he bowed and strode away.

It turned out that he didn't care about his family. Thinking that he has been in the army for a long time, his wife at home has married in, and it is his mother who gets along with him year after year. So it's also good to marry a woman that your mother likes and accompany her.

But the more he grew up, the more he felt that his mother didn't know enough and couldn't think about it completely.

My father was born in a poor family, and he can be where he is today, all because he fought with his life on the battlefield. Her mother was not from a high background, she was not very literate, and she was far away from any political situation or court dispute. He couldn't expect his mother to go further, he just wanted the wife he married to no longer be the kind of woman who only stared at the inner house and didn't understand anything.

So he would rather spend more time and energy to choose a good family for himself, so as not to find out that it is not good after marrying and regretting it later.

Back in the front yard, he asked his entourage, "Have you inquired clearly?" ”

"Yes." The attendant said, "Master Zhang came out of the palace and went back to Dali Temple. Mr. Deadwood went to Bac Ninh to paint. According to his porter, someone from the palace just now announced that his old lady had entered the palace, and his family had sent someone to Bac Ninh to summon people, and it was estimated that he would come back soon. ”

"Then let's go to Dali Temple first. You send someone to wait in front of the Kangfu Gate. When Mr. Deadwood comes home from the palace, you will come and report it. Fu Yun said.

It stands to reason that he should first go to Mr. Deadwood to apologize, and then go to Dali Temple to compensate Zhang Changshen. But now it can only be the other way around.

In his heart, he was not willing to apologize to Zhang Changshen. Not to mention the natural opposition between civil and military officials, just to say that Zhang Changshen ran to the emperor to give them eye medicine in the Pingnan Marquis Mansion, which made Fu Yunkai unhappy with Zhang Changshen.

But who called Fu Yunlang ignorant and verbally had a lot of clashes with Zhang Changshen? Now he has to pretend to be his grandson in front of others.

As for whipping Fu Yunlang in advance, it was his attitude towards Zhang Changshen and Mr. Deadwood. Punish first, then make amends, and be more sincere.
