Chapter 003 A wave is not settled, and another wave is rising
"Master, let's dissipate my anger, I have worshiped the Buddha in the morning, and it is not easy to get angry. Besides, Xiang'er stays in the study all day, which is inevitably a little boring and lonely, and it is understandable to play the piano and relax. ”
Xu Zhao sat in the main hall, still spitting in his mouth, scolding and scolding, Xu's mother made tea, in order to ask Lin for love.
"The family is in the middle of the road, the dog has no intention of going to the office, the family business left by the ancestors of my Xu family, I am afraid that there is no successor!"
Xu Zhao took a sip of tea, his anger gradually subsided, but he sighed vigorously.
"Xiang'er has just turned twenty, he is young and doesn't understand the world, why should you care, maybe in a few years, he will understand your good intentions."
"This rebel is all spoiled by you, I haven't seen it for much time, and even I, who is a father, won't take it seriously!"
"Xiang'er would never do such a thing."
"You..."
Before the words fell, Ah Diao entered the main hall like a thief, he bumped into Xu's mother outside the hall, and saw Xu Zhao's angry face, he didn't dare to go forward to pass the word, and hid outside the door to eavesdrop. After a while, he thought that Xu Zhao's anger should have disappeared by more than half, and then he saw the opportunity and entered the hall to pray.
"Diao, what are you doing sneaky, what's the matter?!"
"Master, I have big... Announcements of great events. ”
"What can be a big deal, so make a fool of yourself, let me rest for a while, and you all go down!"
Mother Xu withdrew from the main hall in response, but this Diao was a little conflicted in his heart, if the matter was reported late, the master would punish him, if he reported it now, disturbed the master's rest, and the lord's anger did not subside, I am afraid that he would also be punished.
Ah Diao was thinking back and forth in his heart, and before he could go out of the hall for a long time, Xu Zhao finally got impatient and shouted at him.
"Something is coming soon!"
Ah Diao was scared by him, his legs and feet were scared, and he squeaked quietly for a long time before he made the girl's story clear.
"Son! Where is that girl now?! ”
Xu Zhaoweiping's anger suddenly rushed to his heart again, he was furious, and slammed his fist on the table, the teacup shook and shattered, and Ah Diao's body shook, and his face was covered with cold sweat.
"Sir, in... In the east wing..."
Xu Zhao entered the side hall and took the ring staff, which was placed in front of the tablet of the Xu family clan, and it didn't come in handy for a long time. If you want to say that this scepter is a punishment that has been passed down from generation to generation in the Xu family, but all the heirs of the clan and the servants of the family have made mistakes, and they can use this spine to punish the warning.
Ah Diao looked at Xu Zhao in a daze, and couldn't say a word, this scepter hasn't been used for some years, and today he was suddenly invited out, and the son was afraid that he would be heavy.
Ah Diao understood Xu Zhao's temper, but he didn't expect the situation to be so serious, like a lost dog, quietly following Xu Zhao's ass to the wing.
"Son!"
Xu Zhao kicked open the door of the side room, and when he saw that the dog and a strange girl were talking happily, he immediately roared angrily.
The two of them were startled, Xu Xianglin's slightly stretched face condensed again at this time, and he slowly stood up, blocking the girl who sat up in shock.
"Dad, this girl..."Xu Xianglin wanted to explain, but when he saw Xu Zhao holding the cold ancestral ring staff in both hands, he immediately stopped silently, his eyes were dull, and only this one word popped out of his mouth.
"Get on your knees!"
Xu Xianglin's gaze never left the scepter, and he approached Xu Zhao's body, with his back on his back, kneeling on both knees, and bending his body.
Syllable! Xu Zhao tightened his cane, and after a crisp sound, a long mark was imprinted on Xu Xianglin's back, and the blood was red, as if it was about to soak in blood.
But I saw that his face did not change, but his brows condensed, and sweat stains oozed from his forehead.
"Please stop."
Seeing that Xu Zhao picked up the cane again, the girl who was already surprised couldn't bear to look at it anymore and stopped Xu Zhao.
"Master Xu, the little girl is polite." The girl struggled out of bed and saluted Xu Zhaozuo.
"Ziying, it's none of your business, you..."
The two had a very happy conversation before, and Xu Xianglin also knew that the girl's name was Feng Ziying, a small character Beiyan, a native of Yangzhai County, Yingchuan County, Yuzhou, and a descendant of Feng Ba, the king of Northern Yan during the Sixteen Kingdoms.
"The house that the dog brought you into?" Xu Zhao handed the scepter to Ah Diao behind him, and looked up and down.
"Thanks to Gongzi Xu's rescue, the grace of saving his life is unforgettable, but I don't know what mistake Gongzi has made, so I want to punish him like this." Feng Ziying was scared in her heart, she didn't dare to look directly at Xu Zhao, and bowed her head to speak.
"Dogs don't do their jobs properly and are idle, shouldn't they be disciplined and disciplined? Besides, how can I allow you to talk too much about the family affairs of my Xu family! ”
"The little girl didn't have this intention, but the son was punished, but there was no reason, it was really..."
"From the head? You are the head. Xu Zhao said, Feng Ziying chuckled in her heart, she couldn't have imagined that Xu Gongzi was punished because of her.
"Look, sir!" Ah Diao, a minion with sharp eyes and quick hands, took advantage of the conversation, looked left and right, and suddenly found that something was exposed under the bed.
Xu Zhaoshun saw that there was really something showing out under the bed, and he ordered Ah Diao to turn it out, and when he looked forward, it was actually a tattered filial piety dress and a plain belt.
Xu Zhao stared at her coldly, and slammed his filial piety clothes to the ground, Feng Ziying saw this, his face was afraid, but his eyes were red, and he was almost unstable.
To say that this Feng Ziying is indeed a poor man, he was originally a descendant of Feng Ba, the king of the Northern Yan of the Sixteen Kingdoms, but the war was chaotic, the dynasty was overthrown, and the clan was separated.
Nearly 100 years have passed, the Feng family still has not lived a stable life, wars broke out, the south and the north dynasties were divided, each built a capital and claimed the emperor, and the people were displaced and miserable.
Feng Ziying's mother died of illness when she was a child, and her father Feng Mu was originally a flower master in Yangzhai County, and he had a lot of research on flowers and plants. In addition, he is also responsible for the planting and repair of the back garden of the county government and keeps the backyard in order.
There is a daughter in the county order, named Ding Ning, who was born ugly, but she loves to dress up very much, and she can sit in front of the mirror all day every day, without eating or drinking, complaining about how she looks like this. The county commander saw that his beloved daughter had a sad face every day, and he was afraid that he would break his body if he continued like this, so he summoned Feng Mu in desperation and asked him to think of a way.
"My beloved daughter loves to dress up, but she was born ugly, and she was depressed all day long, so if she continues like this, she must be seriously ill, and there is a good way to deal with it?"
"My lord, I'm afraid that only the best rouge gouache can make my beloved daughter look radiant." Feng Mu didn't want to get involved in this matter, thinking that his appearance was natural, how could he easily change it, but he wanted to take this opportunity to get the appreciation of the county magistrate, so he thought twice before taking this countermeasure.
"But where can I find this fine rouge gouache?"
"My lord, rouge is taken from flowers and can be made with a few ingredients. In the lower deep through the flower path, but take the flowers as the basis, within two days, it will be made. ”
"Good! The heavy responsibility is handed over, if the beloved daughter is happy, there will be a heavy reward! ”
Two days later, Feng Mu held the pro-made rouge and presented it to the county magistrate, and Ding Ning couldn't wait to smear and wipe, wipe and apply, and after less than half an hour, she suddenly felt that her face was itchy, and red spots were all over her face, she picked up the mirror and took a look, and was frightened and fainted by herself in the mirror.
The county commander was furious and ordered Feng Mu to be beaten with sticks and driven out of the mansion. Feng Mu was almost killed, so he rushed home with a roll and crawled, and took Feng Ziying to hide in the mountains and forests to live.
Later, there was a large family surnamed Wang in Yangzhai County, in order to occupy the field tenants, to demolish the grass house built by Feng Mu's father and daughter as a place to grow grain, and the baht money was one or two as a reward, Feng Mu did not allow it, the Wang family was vicious, and sent someone to burn the grass house, not to mention, but also Feng Mu's fists and feet, and the hard-working Feng Mu finally died and lost his soul.
Feng Ziying was overwhelmed with grief when she saw her father being beaten to death, and was about to plunge into the fire to find death, but was dragged by the servants of the palace, and she watched the house be destroyed and her father's body gradually engulfed by the fire.
There is a son in the Wang family, called Wang Ba, the third in line, he is a full womanizer, and he was also on the scene on the night of the premeditated arson, he saw that Feng Ziying looked quite pure and spiritual, and ordered the servant to take her back to the palace, wanting to do something wrong.
Feng Ziying was willing to succumb, pushed Wang Ba away hard, and wanted to kill herself by hitting the beam, but Wang Ba grabbed her, thinking that this woman was a hard bone, and she didn't even want her life, so she stopped.
"Little lady, you just follow me, enter my Wang family, you can eat whatever you want, we can wear whatever you want, isn't it beautiful!" Wang Base looked at her with a smile and said temptingly.
"Enter your royal house, unless I die."
Seeing that Feng Ziying was so stubborn and didn't know how to lift, Wang Ba was angry in his heart, and he ordered the servant to take a thick and round stick and threatened: "Kneel down and beg me, kowtow eighteen times, my master is happy, maybe I can spare your life!" ”
"Kneel to the sky and kneel to your parents, how can you kneel to you, a shameless villain."
As soon as the words fell, the servant standing aside clenched his stick and hit Feng Ziying's leg, and with a scream, she collapsed to the ground and lost consciousness.
Wang Ba still didn't let her go, and sent someone to drag her into the firewood room and detain her, and then punish her after she sobered up.
Feng Ziying woke up on the fourth watch, she wanted to escape while it was dark, just fell down immediately, it turned out that her legs had been lame by the heavy stick, she was really unstable, she crawled to the door, who expected that the door of the firewood room had been locked. The desperate Feng Ziying snuggled up in the corner, crying bitterly, her eyes red and swollen.
The next day, Wang Ba came to the firewood room alone, and he wanted to see how embarrassed this stubborn girl was.
"Little lady? Oh, tsk, if you had obeyed me last night, how could you end up in such a field? ”
"If you want me to enter your royal family, how can I hope that my father's bones are not cold, and after finding my father's bones today, and burying them for condolences, I will return to the palace." Feng Ziying couldn't stop crying as she spoke, she couldn't wait to pierce the heart of the wicked person in front of her with a sword.
"Alright, alright, that's it! As long as you are willing to serve me, everything depends on you! Wang Ba laughed wildly.
"I go alone, and no one can follow me."
"According to you, little lady~" Wang Ba thought for a moment and agreed to her.
Feng Ziying limped out of the palace, cut off his body and changed into a decrepit linen clothes, tied a plain belt on his head, and struggled to rush to the house, the grass house was flattened, and his father's body turned to ashes and scattered with the wind.
Feng Ziying wept with grief, put his hands on the soil, set up a grave, knelt down to worship his father's ghost, and then fled.
Wang Ba thought he was smart, thinking that Feng Ziying was a woman, and he was lame again, and he couldn't escape from the palm of his hand if he wanted to, and finally had to return to the palace obediently. Who would have thought that it was getting late, and Feng Ziying had not returned, so Wang Ba sent someone to find it, but unfortunately it was too late, Feng Ziying had already lost his whereabouts.
She fled from place to place, and went to Wusheng County, Dongyang County, Yangzhou in a daze, and she never took off her sackcloth all the way.
"Master, I think this girl must be dead, if you don't drive away, I'm afraid this bad luck will... Bring it into our Xu Mansion! Ah Diao squinted at Feng Ziying, and spoke in a lively tone like a eunuch.
Xu Xianglin saw that Feng Ziying was about to fall, and wanted to get up to help, Xu Zhao waved his cane and beat him to his knees again, and blood soaked his back.
"Ah Diao, take a few people and throw this mourning girl out of the house for me!"
"It's unlucky! Oops! Ah Diao looked disgusted, and after a while, he brought two servants who carried water into the room.
"Who dares to step forward!" Xu Xianglin saw that the situation was not good, endured the pain, and got up to block Feng Ziying.
"Get out of here!" Xu Zhao seemed to be carried away by anger, picked up the cane, and wanted to hit him on the shoulder, but who expected Xu Xianglin to get up too violently, dizzy, and then his legs and feet were weak, and he was about to fall, the cane slapped firmly on the side of his head, and he suddenly felt that his eyes were dark, and he fell to the ground without movement.
"To... Xiang Lin! Feng Ziying looked at Xu Xianglin who fell to the ground, the corners of his mouth trembled in fright, and he was just about to bend over to help, but he was grabbed by Mali's servant by the arm and dragged out of the mansion.
"Get out! You dead cripple! Ah Diao scolded and closed the door of the mansion.
"Get a doctor!" Feng Ziying listened to the door, only to hear that the people in Xu's mansion were boiling in an instant, and it turned into a pot of porridge.
