Chapter 178: Mrs. Xun (II)
After Wang Fu heard her name, he was shocked, and said that this was not the little maid mentioned by his godmother, so he hurriedly helped her up and invited her to the back hall.
"Well, Xinghua Xinghua", after muttering a few words, the old man asked her if she was looking for someone.
Xinghua saw that the old man was very easy to speak, but she didn't dare to raise her head, and said softly: "That's right, the little girl is here to find Mrs. Xun, and I used to be her personal maid." ”
"What? Is this true? But what did Mrs. Xun say, you will never return? ”
Xinghua had long expected him to ask this, lowered her head, and said without thinking:
"On that day, I said goodbye to my wife, and on the way I lost my coil, so I disguised myself and it took me months to find my wife's granddaughter. However, it was unfortunate that she happened to return to Qingyun County to prepare for the funeral for her wife's son and daughter-in-law, but I had no choice but to come back again. ”
Wang Fu looked at her emaciated face, and shouted to his subordinates, telling her to tell the cook to hurry up and get a few dishes.
"There's no need to be so troublesome, my lord, I can't see my wife, and I can't sleep well."
After the next person left, Wang Fu asked her, even if Mrs. Xun's granddaughter married far away, it would not take nearly five or six years to go back and forth.
Xinghua said that she was sold to Xunfu since she was a child, when she was still a child, and originally wanted to be accepted by Master Xun, that is, Mrs. Xun's elderly father, to be adopted as a child daughter-in-law.
But Master Xun is old, and in the second year after Xinghua came, the old man died. From then on, the lady took her as her personal maid and took care of her daily life.
The name Xinghua was given by Mrs., and she also cares for her, comparable to her daughter.
In fact, Xinghua's age is much younger than Madame's granddaughter.
Because of this, Xinghua rarely goes out, let alone goes thousands of miles away to find people. She didn't know that people's hearts were sinister, and before she reached the first county seat, she lost her entanglement.
After that, like Mrs. Xun, she begged along the street.
After trekking all the way, I finally arrived at the in-laws of my wife and granddaughter, who knew that she had just left, and the two of them were just half a day apart.
In the morning, the lady's granddaughter walked on the front foot, and in the afternoon, the apricot blossom arrived at her mother-in-law's house.
Along the way, Xinghua suffered a lot, thinking that she would live here first.
And the in-law didn't say anything, just said that after the daughter-in-law came back, he would leave quickly after saying something.
When Xinghua said this, she suddenly pressed her temples with the palm of her hand, and a layer of sweat oozed from her head.
Wang Fu didn't know what was wrong with her, so he hurriedly stepped forward to check, but Xinghua kept hiding back. Wang Fu wanted to invite a doctor to take a look at her illness, but he was repeatedly refused.
After standing up like this for a while, Xinghua's face softened a little, and then asked where Mrs. Wang Fuxun was now.
So Wang Fu told her all the things before and after.
Knowing that the old lady was dying, Xinghua also lowered her head and sobbed, and two lines of thin tears made her face black and white.
"I'll get some water for you, and some clean clothes, you can pick it up first, and I'll go and talk to Madame first."
"Okay, then there will be Lord Lao."
After Xinghua finished dressing up, it was like a different person. There is no grease and powder, and it is better than a fairy.
After that, she followed the other maid to the lady's room.
When she opened the door, when she saw Madame's pale face, she hurriedly fell to her knees, crying that she was useless, which frightened Madame.
Mrs. Xun, who didn't take this matter to heart, hurriedly called her up and whimpered:
"Hurry up, child, blame me for being rash at the time, and I had to go to see the saint, so that our mother and daughter suffered the sin!"
The two cried bitterly, and even Wang Fu, who was watching from the side, had red circles in his eyes.
Seeing that the two of them were emotionally stable, they opened their mouths and said: "People have joys and sorrows, the moon is cloudy and sunny, and it is also the creation of the previous life to be able to meet again, let's be happy." I'm going to get married tomorrow, and I just lack a maid, so you can live in the house and accompany your wife in the future. ”
When Li You heard this, he was already a little impatient.
The heart said that this old man Wang did not know that his time had come, and if he didn't speak, he would have no chance, and what he said from beginning to end was useless.
But since this person can be the top student in high school, what he says can't be useless, so he has to take a few deep breaths and continue to listen to him.
On the day of the wedding, everyone who could come from the yamen of the surrounding counties came. Even the ministers with heads and faces in the five governments and six ministries also sent housekeepers to congratulate them.
Not to mention the five officials in front of the prime minister, Wang Fu was a little flattered and beckoned them to take their seats one after another.
The auspicious time has arrived, and the next thing is to worship heaven and earth, enter the cave room, and squeak...... Chewing rock sugar.
When the guests and friends were full, Wang Fuben prepared a lot of things to say, but looking at the empty throne, he remembered his two mothers.
One died on his first night in office, and the other was sick in bed on the day he was married.
The heart said that he was not fated to be a natural Ke family?
Trivial troubles piled up in Wang Fu's heart, and he began to get confused after a few glasses of wine.
After being helped back to the room by the idlers, I rested early.
Early the next morning, the sun had just emerged, and before Wang Fu woke up, he was awakened by a jingling knock on the door.
scolded and got out of bed to open the door, and found Xinghua staring at him with a frightened face, and said breathlessly:
"Madame...... Madame she ......"
Before she could finish speaking, Wang Fu didn't even have time to put on his clothes, and ran out wearing only a pair of pajama pants.
A few people who got up early in the house saw that the old man was on fire, unlike his usual style, and hurriedly followed.
After pushing the door open, I saw Mrs. Xun lying on the bed, her face was serene, and she seemed to be smiling. It's as if he's lost his vital signs.
Wang Fu let out a "wow", howled and cried, and said in his heart, Mother, mother, why did you leave like this.
As soon as the red thing passed, the white thing came, and Wang Fu, who was full of joy and sorrow for the second time, can be regarded as having experienced the ups and downs of life.
Since then, the perspective of looking at things has also changed dramatically.
Because things happened in a hurry, the dead can't stand the toss. On the day of the funeral three days later, Wang Fu decided to bury her in his ancestral grave for the time being.
When the right time comes in the future, she will move it back to her family's ancestral grave, which can be regarded as a return to the roots.
After kneeling in front of the grave for a long time, Wang Fu was helped up by Xinghua, he wiped his tears, and said sadly:
"There is life and there is death, and it is not fate to die sooner. Yesterday and evening were the same people, and today they are in the ghost record. The soul is scattered, and the withered form is empty. Jiao'er asked for her father to cry, and her good friend touched me and cried. Gains and losses are no longer known, right and wrong! After a thousand years of life, who knows glory and disgrace? But when hatred is alive, it is not enough to drink. ”
Reciting a poem of Tao Weng, Wang Fu pierced the soul-attracting banner in his hand into the land, and told everyone to go home quickly, there were still many things to do.
Not to mention, since this incident happened, the entire Yuncheng County has been stable for ten years.
And this phenomenon is also due to the victory of the Great Song Dynasty.
Then, Wang Fu once again experienced the excitement in his life, that is, after ten years of marriage, his wife finally became pregnant.
The world is peaceful, and the people are in peace. On weekdays, there are just some inconsequential cases, and they are also handed over to Tongzhi to handle.
Wang Fu, who has already begun to grow a beard, now has to wait for his wife to give birth.
On the day of delivery, Wang Fu was restless, and Zhang San'er kept persuading the master to relax on the side, but to no avail.
Just as he was about to scold Zhang San'er for inviting a midwife, it has been a few hours, why is there still no movement at all?
Suddenly, the midwife's attendant, with his hands covered in blood, rushed into the back hall, looked at Wang Fu in fear and said:
"Madame, ma'am, she didn't survive!"
