Chapter 90: A widow only
This kind of tragic incident of brothers falling against the wall is not uncommon.
For example, in the general family of merchants, except for the eldest son, who is a side branch, and only got three golds and two silvers when the family was divided, the young sons naturally had to work hard to gain a favorable position;
But the Pei family has been meritorious for generations, and Shuyu is a son-in-law, even if he can't attack the knight, he is destined to have a smooth life.
Wouldn't it be happy to give up the high-ranking officials and go away with cockfighting under the protection of his eldest brother, just like he did in the first twenty years.
In short, Afu definitely didn't believe that Shu Yu had hurt Zhong Ji, or that her heart had already been softened by Shu Yu's rare tears.
Shu Yu was still stunned, he never expected that Wang Xi was serious and felt that he would harm his eldest brother for the sake of fame.
Master Pei has been like this since he was young, and the eldest brother is really the eldest brother who grew up with him like a father.
Even if he Pei Shuyu is a gentleman, he has never ever thought about his eldest brother that he shouldn't have.
The sister-in-law's suspicion was like a sharp blade, quickly inserted into his defenseless heart, and then left again, leaving only a hole, and blood spurted wantonly.
Needless to say, Ji Heng was even more stupid on the spot.
Huan Xian said incredulously: "Cousin, what do you say? How could the second brother hurt the big brother? Are you crazy?
Shu Yu's eyes turned red without saying a word, and he clenched his teeth.
Wang Xi looked at this mood, and felt that he was thinking a little too much, so he calmed down, and his eyes flashed.
She had finished speaking, and was stunned, and then stopped and staggered out.
Afu leaned her back on the high table and couldn't come back to her senses for a long time.
A room full of people is like a sculpture, each with their own hearts. After a long time, Shu Yu, who was still relieved, sighed, came over to pick up Afu, and said to Ji Heng and Huan Xian at the same time: "Okay, the people have left." ”
Huan Xian was still covering his face, and only then did he sob. Ji Heng took out a free hand and gently patted her shoulder.
Afu was beaten a lot harder, one side of her cheek was swollen, and blood was flowing from the corners of her mouth, Yuan Niang ran in in a panic, and she almost fainted when she saw it, but she didn't dare to lose her temper, so she endured it and said: "Second master, I'll help Mrs. go over and clean it up...."
Shu Yu shook his head and personally carried Afu to the back room: "I don't need you, you can go down." ”
Even so, Ji Heng and Huan Xian also quit and returned to the room.
On the way, Ji Heng was reluctant to return his daughter to the nurse, and hugged him personally: "It's really dangerous, I'm really afraid that my sister-in-law will lose her mind and beat our daughter." ”
Huan Xian responded, and Mu Ran said, "Is it okay to beat me?" ”
She is still stumped in her heart, and her second brother is willing to beat people for her second sister-in-law, how can her husband always be wronged by the people around her?
Ji Heng looked at Huan Xian and knew that trouble was coming again.
He suddenly thought that he went to find the second brother earlier today, just to complain about the unlucky people who were sandwiched between Huan Xian and Wang Xi, who would have thought that a wave of unsettled, this bigger tsunami was going to sweep him away!
There was no way, and then he lowered his head and made Xiaobei: "Ah Xian, didn't I hold Xiaorou at that time?" I..."
Huan Xian smiled bitterly: "I know, husband." ”
It was as if he would have done something without Xiao Rou.
The corners of Afu's mouth were cut by Wang Xi's ring, and she felt so distressed that Yuan Niang felt like she couldn't slash that shrew.
She was afraid that Afu's wound would leave a scar, so she only allowed Afu to drink some porridge every day, but she was not allowed to eat anything with color, nor was she allowed to wash her face, nor was she allowed to touch water.
And because Afu had never washed her face, and Yuan Niang didn't allow Afu to see Shuyu, Afu could only stay in the room for a week with nothing to do.
On this day, Yuan Niang looked at the sun, held Afu's dirty little face and looked at it again and again, and only after making sure that it was restored as before, did she relax: "I just didn't leave a scar!" But the one surnamed Wang also suffered retribution, and now he is really a crazy woman. ”
Ah Fu couldn't wait to go to the bath room, and was shocked when she heard the words: "She's crazy? ”
Wanwan followed behind Ah Fu with her clothes in her hands, and said with a smile: "Madame, this is a week of retreat and practice, and nothing can be heard outside!" Since that day, the eldest lady has been sick, I heard that she had a high fever for two days, and when she woke up, she was full of avenging her uncle. ”
Ah Fu was surprised: "The current conclusion is that General Pei was killed in battle, and she dared to say 'revenge'?" ”
Wouldn't that be understood as sharpening the knife to the imperial court? After all, General Pei can be regarded as the commander of the imperial court...
Wanwan smiled: "No, our lady is really smart, but the eldest lady can't figure it out." She made such a fuss, the second master had to lock her up, just in the courtyard, she was not allowed to go out, and others were not allowed to enter..."
Afu was shocked: "Locked up? "Isn't that Shuyu imprisoning sister-in-law? Such... Not very secure, right?
Yuan Niang pushed her: "Oh, since the second master did it, what does Mrs. do so much?" Go wash up, get comfortable! ”
Wanwan undressed her and whispered: "Although the eldest lady is locked up, the maids around her are all sensible, and they know that the second master is for the good of the eldest lady, and they have never complained to the queen." ”
Afu said: "That's what I said, but it's not safe." ”
Wanwan nodded: "Yes, we have to prepare, if we are passed into the palace, we need to clear up the relationship." ”
Ah Fu turned around and held Wanwan's hand: "In the end, you are a clear one, next time you will enter the palace with me, Yuan Niang only knows that she feels sorry for me, and Sakura is a fool, so you can help me come up with ideas!" ”
Wanwan laughed quietly: "That's natural, don't worry, girl." ”
Ah Fu soaked in the water contentedly, and the depression in her heart was simply swept away: Wang Xi has been "arrogant" for so long, and he has suffered it on his own.
People, no matter what role they are in, are taboo to be overly committed.
It's just a widow, but she thinks that she is more related to Zhong than anyone else, isn't there going to be an accident?
Afu looked at her immaculate face in the mirror, and wanted to sing a song excitedly.
"That day I was hunting in the mountains and riding a horse, just as you were singing at the bottom of the mountain and turning into the clouds~" She unconsciously hummed a small tune of Yuyang.
Wanwan helped her scrub her hair and hummed the next sentence: "The song made me lost, I rolled down the mountain, oops..."
Afu then sang the last line of her song: "The two of us are singing under the tree~"
Wanwan smiled: "Girl, this sentence should have been 'Your singing voice turned into clouds', you sing 'leaning under the tree' every time, ashamed or not, ashamed or not!" ”
Ah Fu "giggled" and said: "What's the use of just 'singing into the clouds', someone needs to 'lean under the tree'!" ”
Wanwan knew that she was mocking Wang Xi, and she laughed along. For so long, it can be regarded as a matter of raising eyebrows, which makes Rongdongyuan happy.
After Afu came out of washing, she saw Yuan Niang nervously walking over with an envelope and stuffing it into Afu's hand.
Afu was puzzled: "What, Yuan Niang?" ”
"Jin Heng's letter to the girl! Quick, while the second master didn't come over, the girl reads? ”
Although Afu said that she was always worried in her heart, she felt that she had nothing to do with Jin Heng on her face, and she didn't feel that there was anything invisible, looking at Yuan Niang's nervous appearance, she was a little funny: "I don't know why I cheat!" ”
She slowly unfolded the letter, reading it as she walked over to the warm pavilion.
Time passed, but Jin Heng's words and style were the same as before, which made Afu suddenly enter a very pure state.
“.. Jin Qing is young and arrogant, it is inevitable that there will be some hardships, but it doesn't hurt, it can be regarded as a hurdle, and it can be crossed. Sister Fu should persuade A-Niang, don't be overly sad and hurt your body. ”
“.. All matters should be decided by Ah Niang, and when this letter arrives, I am afraid that it will no longer be able to turn around, and I still think that everything should not be too extreme, especially not to force Jin Qing or that woman to a dead end. If possible, please ask Fumei to ask again, so as not to hurt the relationship between Jin Qing and the second sister and A-Niang, and regret it afterwards. ”
“... The fourth brother is all well in Fu'an County, and it is a great pleasure to be able to walk all over the mountains and rivers with Ming Yan in addition to daily business. Ming Yan was too lazy to hold a pen, and asked me to tell you not to want the General Administration to be in that square city, and your heart was small. Don't forget that beyond the walls of the house, there is also a clear sky and a small forest spring. ”
“... For more than a year, the situation in Fu'an County has been quite clear, if the situation allows, Fu Mei can come here with Master Pei to enjoy the scenery of the borderland. ”
"Outside the window, the cicadas are singing early and the moon is missing, a thousand words in my heart, put down a piece of paper, and take care."
Afu read it again without hesitation.
In fact, she rarely calls him "fourth brother", the Mu family has many children, but they are the closest.
If Afu wants to behave well-behaved, she will call him "Brother Jin Heng"~
If it stirred up her heart, Afu would call "Jin Heng" regardless of it.
Now such a sentence of "fourth brother" seems to have mixed him into the other Mu family brothers, and disappeared little by little.
Ah Fu took the letter paper out of her mind, and suddenly remembered that she hadn't sent a letter to her godmother to ask since she came back last time, so she hurriedly instructed Sakura to lay paper and study ink, and wrote a letter to send it.
