Gui Yu took Fu Ci to the kitchen, Fu Ci stood outside the door and heard the discussion inside, "Fang Cai should fan that cheap girl a few more times, it's really cheap for her to let her go like this." ”
"You and I beat Gui Yu, can the third lady give up?"
"Resignation? Guogong doesn't want to see her, what else can she do? ”
"It's better to be cautious, after all, people are looking at Princess Xi."
"Princess Xi? Wearing a dragon robe is not like a prince......"
What the people inside said next, Fu Ci was not in the mood to listen, and broke in directly.
The door was opened, and the two servants were a little panicked. Looking at the angry Fu Ci, the two maids quickly knelt down and said, "The slave maid knocks on the third lady." ”
Fu Ci didn't let these two people get up, but asked, "You two are Xiang'er and Nuo'er?" ”
The two little maids never expected Fu Ci to come to the door, and they were very scared. I don't know how long Fu Ci has been standing at the door, and how long the third lady has listened to the conversation between the two just now. The two people kneeling on the ground were really thieves.
"Yes, slave maid Nuo'er", one of the maidservants replied first, and the other also trembled and said, "Slave maid, slave maid Xiang'er." ”
Fu Ci glanced at the two of them, and the two little maids quickly lowered their heads.
Listening to the voice, this maid named Nuo'er should be the peacemaker just now, and she said that she was not favored, and she didn't look like the prince in a dragon robe, and she should be the one who was trembling at the moment.
Looking at the panic on the faces of the two, Fu Ci smiled. This smile made the two little maids look even more panicked, even kneeling on the ground looked a little paralyzed.
Xiang'er and Nuo'er are not afraid of Fu Porcelain. What is there to be afraid of a disgraced lady who even has to sew her wedding dress by herself? What scared these two people was Fu Ci's prestige.
The cause of Diancha's death is still a mystery, and it is still unknown whether Miss Fu San killed her. and Mrs. Chen, why did she stretch out her claws to Aunt Xingsan, it is rumored that Miss Fu San bewitched her. Not only that, but also Aunt Sun's life, which was also counted on Fu Ci's head.
As for how many grievances Fu Ci has suffered, few people care.
"Miss Ben wants to eat milky white grapes, I wonder if there is one in this kitchen?" Fu Ci asked.
"Yes, yes", Xiang'er hurriedly replied, "Slave, let's give it to the third lady!" ”
As he spoke, he hurriedly went to fill a large bowl of milky white grapes and handed it to Gui Yu behind Fu Ci.
"I'm not busy, I haven't been in this kitchen for a long time, I want to eat here." Speaking of this, Nuo'er hurriedly knelt down and cleaned up the small table for Fu Ci, and said, "Third Miss, please." ”
Fu Ci sat down at the table and said, "Gui Yu next to Miss Fang Caiben was beaten, do you two know who did it?" ”
Xiang'er and Nuo'er were so frightened that they quickly kowtowed, and said that they were unintentional. Fu Ci was willing to give up like this, because of Fu Qian's disgust in this mansion, the people of the entire Guogong Mansion dared to show their faces to her. In the perception of many people, she is still the submissive Fu porcelain in the past. However, as a human being in two lives, Fu Ci doesn't want to go down like in his previous life.
This time, she will definitely kill the chicken and make an example of the monkey!
"Gui Yu's humiliation, I will get it back regularly. I don't know if you two want to meet me face to face? Or did you let Miss Ben and Gui Yu out of this bad breath? ”
Xiang'er and Nuo'er didn't expect Fu Ci to stand out for Gui Yu this time. No matter how bad it is, the person in front of him is also the young lady of the Guogong Mansion, if it really talks about the dignity of the concubine, their master will have to give Fu Ci three points, not to mention these little maids?
Thinking of this, Xiang'er and Nuo'er then kowtowed to Fu Ci and said, "Ask the third lady to open the net, and the slave is willing to let Miss Guiyu get angry." ”
This fire, Fu Ci didn't send it out in the end.
Xiangluo, who was beside Qiu's, came to the kitchen and said that the old lady invited the third lady to go to the south courtyard for a while.
Fu Ci came to the south courtyard and saw Qiu lying on the bed. That sick look makes people feel a little distressed to look at. Fu Ci didn't care about etiquette anymore and ran directly to Qiu's side. Qiu Shi saw Fu Ci, opened his eyes and smiled.
"Aunt Xiangluo, why didn't my grandmother find a doctor when she was so sick?" Fu Ci asked.
When Xiangluo heard this, she shed two lines of tears and said, "The old lady said that this disease is not curable, so don't let the slave and maid alarm anyone in the house." ”、
Hearing this, Fu Ci was anxious and said, "Trouble Aunt Xiangluo to go out of the house immediately and ask a doctor to come and treat grandmother." ”
As soon as Xiangluo was about to go out, he asked Qiu Shi to stop him, "No need", as he said, Qiu Shi waved his hand, and said to Fu Ci: "Grandmother, it's time to go and see your grandfather." ”
In his previous life, Fu Ci didn't have much impression of this grandmother, and he didn't like this mean woman very much. But in this life, Fu Ci has an inexplicable affection for this old man.
"Xiangluo go and get that box to Ah Ci," Qiu said as he coughed.
Xiang Luo listened to Qiu's words, answered, and took out a palm-sized box from Qiu's dresser and handed it to Fu Ci.
Fu Ci looked at the box in surprise, and he hadn't taken the box for a long time.
Seeing that Fu Ci didn't answer, Qiu said, "Open it." ”
Fu Ci took a breath, took the box from Xiangluo's hand, and opened it gently, and inside was a jade dragon head.
This jade dragon head is turquoise all over, and it is a good material at first glance. Fu Ci remembered that when the Qiu family was dying in his previous life, Fu Qian, Chen, and Fu Qingman came to inquire about the news of this jade dragon head, but to no avail. It wasn't until Qiu had a breath left that he ordered Xiangluo to destroy this jade dragon head. Now, this box is in his hands, and Fu Ci is a little overwhelmed.
"You will wear it from now on", as he said, Qiu took out the jade dragon head from the box and put it on Fu Ci's hand himself.
"Grandmother, this ......", before Fu Ci finished speaking, Qiu shook his head and interrupted.
"Grandmother knows that you were always submissive before, all in order to find a way to survive under the Chen family and Qingman." Qiu Shi coughed again as she spoke, and Fu Ci hurriedly calmed her down.
"Grandmother, please ask the doctor to come and take a look." Fu Ci pleaded again.
Qiu shook his head, "Your grandfather gave me a dream, saying that he missed my craft. Grandmother had to go and stay with him. Saying that, Qiu sighed, patted the back of Fu Ci's hand, and said: "Ah Ci will definitely be the dragon and phoenix among people in the future, and this jade dragon head will be passed on to you, I can rest assured." ”
Fu Ci only remembered that in his previous life, everyone was looking for this jade dragon head, but he didn't know what it was for, so he asked, "What is the use of this jade dragon head?" ”
Qiu Shi didn't answer Fu Ci's question, and said to himself: "In the future, if Fu is in trouble, Ah Ci, you will definitely pull Fu Shi." Remember, you also have Fu's blood flowing in your body. ”
Qiu Shi was already teary-eyed when he said this, and he coughed even more.
Fu Ci looked at Qiu's like this, and felt very uncomfortable. Although he had long felt that he had nothing to do with this family, in order to appease the old man, Fu Ci still nodded vigorously.
Qiu Shi coughed up blood, and Fu Ci looked at the blood-stained white handkerchief, and his heart became more and more frightened. Xiangluo stood aside and secretly wept. Qiu Shi smiled and said, "Grandmother has another thing to ask you for, and you must respond." ”
Fu Ci nodded vigorously.
Qiu said: "Grandmother knows that Yu Yue and Qingman are not kind to you, and you hate them very much in your heart. Grandmother hopes that in the future, you will remember that they are the same descendants of the Fu family as you, and leave them a way to live. ”
Fu Ci reluctantly responded, and Fu Ci couldn't say anything to refuse this dying old man.
Seeing Fu Ci nodded, Qiu Shi smiled and said to Xiangluo: "After I die, Xiangluo, you move to the North Courtyard to take care of Ah Ci." ”
Xiangluo tearfully agreed. Qiu Shi seemed to have explained everything, closed his eyes, and said, "Xiangluo, send the third lady back to the North Courtyard." ”
Fu Ci didn't want to go. Qiu Shi waved his hand at her, and Xiangluo also persuaded her. When it was over, Fu Ci still didn't resist Qiu's family, and left the South Courtyard in tears.
Fu Ci turned back three times in one step, but Qiu Shi looked at Fu Ci with a kind smile like an old monk who was about to settle down. In the end, it was Xiangluo who dragged Fu Ci out of Qiu's bedroom.
Looking at the back of Fu Ci leaving, Qiu fell on the bed with a smile. Consciousness gradually blurred, and Qiu seemed to see her husband's voice and smile. Qiu closed her eyes, the corners of her mouth lifted upward, and she saw her husband. The man gestured to her with one hand, the silver spear in the other, and behind him was the sweaty horse.
By the time Xiangluo returned to the South Courtyard, the Qiu clan had run out of breath. Xiangluo looked at Qiu's body that was gradually losing temperature, and suddenly burst into laughter.
This woman is like a sonorous rose. She must have been unwilling to say goodbye to herself, so she asked herself to send Fu Ci back to the North Courtyard and then leave quietly.
Xiangluo thought: In another world, there must be a man with a horse and a gun who looks at the prosperity of the world side by side with the Qiu family.
Xiangluo changed into a bright dress for Qiu Yunrou, and picked up rouge, eyebrows and other cosmetics that had not moved for a long time to dress up Qiu Yunrou. If it weren't for the fact that the years had left traces on this old man's face, she would have been a great beauty. However, although the years have not loved this old man, it has not affected her elegance and dignity in the slightest.
After everything was taken care of, Xiangluo went to report the news that Fu Qian had passed away.
Fu Qian was stunned for a moment after hearing this, and then became angry at Xiangluo, complaining that Xiangluo did not return the news that his Qiu family was critically ill. In the end, Fu Qian didn't shed a single tear and asked where the jade dragon head of the Xiangluo Qiu clan was.
Xiangluo looked at Fu Qian and smiled bitterly.
This is the good son born to the old general and the Qiu family!
Gao Tang's old mother passed away, but his eyes were still on the jade dragon head.
Seeing that Xiangluo didn't answer, Fu Qian asked again.
Xiangluo smiled and said, "The old lady gave it to someone on her deathbed. ”
Fu Qian was silent for a long time after hearing this, Xiangluo stood in place and shed tears, and Fu Qian paced back and forth in the room. After a stick of incense, Fu Qian called the housekeeper in at the door.
"Bury the old lady," Fu Qian said.
Hearing this, Xiangluo looked at Fu Qian directly, and Fu Qian's heart was furious.
In Chengzhou, we have always paid attention to thick and thin burials. Qiu Yunrou lingered on the sickbed for four months, and Fu Qian ignored it. Now, the Qiu family has gone, but Fu Qian said that he would be buried thickly.
Who is this to see?
Is it Qiu Yunrou who is already dead?
Or is it Gojong, who advocates the rule of filial piety?
Qiu's death alarmed many people.
The queen, the prince and his wife, Fu Qian, Fu Changchuan and his wife, Fu Xuanyue, Fu Ci and the future son-in-law of the Fu family, Cang Xi, all gathered in the Fu Mansion.
Fu Yingge's eyes were red and swollen from crying, and Fu Qian ceremoniously shed a few tears. Zhou Ze and Fu Qingman didn't have much affection for the Qiu family, and because Fu Qingman was pregnant, the two barely stayed in the mourning hall for long. Qiu's love for Fu Xuanyue was tight before his death, but Fu Xuanyue saw that Cangxi was accompanied by Fu Ci all the time. In Fu Yuyue's heart, I am afraid that jealousy has far outweighed the sadness caused by the death of his grandmother. Fu Changchuan is the same as Fu Ci, although he doesn't like this grandmother very much, he still feels a little sour when he sees this shrewd old man lying here.
The day after Qiu's death, Fu Qian couldn't hold back, he didn't believe that his old mother would hand over such an important jade dragon head to others, so he searched for it again and again in the house in the south courtyard. However, no matter how Fu Qian looked, he just couldn't see the whereabouts of the jade dragon's head.
Fu Qian looked angrily at the messy room that he was churning over, in the jewelry box, cabinet, everything he could find. At this moment, as far as Fu Qian is concerned, he is three feet away from digging into the ground. Fu Qian sat on the edge of the bed dejectedly, thinking back to Xiangluo's words.
Xiangluo said that the Qiu family gave the jade dragon head to the destined person.
However, Fu Qian had already asked the maid beside Qiu's family who had come to see her when Qiu's was seriously ill.
The answer given by the maid was that there was no one.
The maid said that there were many loopholes in Xiangluo's explanation, and Fu Qian had to wonder which side had told the lie. After thinking about it again, Fu Qian still felt that Xiangluo's words were not credible.
After all, Xiangluo is the maid who serves the Qiu clan closely. The Qiu clan didn't like to see himself very much, if he really didn't want to pass on the jade dragon head to himself, how could he hide it in a place where he could find it?
Therefore, simply let Xiangluo find a pretense of giving it to someone who is destined to cover up the facts.
Thinking of this, Fu Qian instructed the housekeeper to search the southern courtyard carefully.
Coincidentally, when the housekeeper brought people to the South Courtyard, he bumped into Queen Fu Yingge.
Fu Yingge saw that the housekeeper came to the South Courtyard with more than a dozen people, and immediately understood Fu Qian's wolf ambitions, and immediately broke into Qiu's bedroom to confront Fu Qian.
Fu Yingge originally didn't believe that when his mother's bones were not cold, Fu Qian moved this crooked thought. However, this mess in the bedroom confirms Fu Qian's wolf ambition.
Fu Yingge stepped forward and gave Fu Qian a slap and said, "This slap is unfilial to you." After speaking, Fu Yingge waved his hand and gave Fu Qian a slap again, "This, beat you for being unfaithful!" ”
Fu Yingge's third slap was stopped by Fu Qian before it fell.
"It's true that I'm here to look for something, but I'm afraid the queen's purpose is not pure when she comes here!" After Fu Qian finished speaking, he left the room.
Fu Yingge sat alone on the edge of the bed, tears falling down one by one.
The jade dragon head was originally worn by the Empress Dowager or the Empress Dowager, but Gaozong gave it to the Qiu clan alone.
The jade dragon head was given to the Qiu clan by Gaozong himself after the death of General Fu Lao. In Gaozong's eyes, this woman has an indelible impact on both Jiangshan Sheji and Gaozong himself.
Gaozong originally wanted to take the Qiu family into the palace and respect him as the queen mother, but because the courtiers stopped him, the matter was abandoned over time. However, Gojong was reluctant to go. Specially admired the jade dragon head, seeing this thing is like a face saint.
This thing is not only a symbol of power and dignity, but also a command of the Imperial Guards.
It can be seen that Gaozong has full trust and respect for the Qiu family.
Seeing the moonlight climbing to the top, Fu Qian arranged a residence for everyone as usual kindly.
In the eyes of outsiders, Fu Qian's actions are all proof of his meticulousness and unfazed changes.
After everyone rested, Fu Ci looked at the jade dragon head lying in the box carefully.
Previously, Qiu put this jade dragon head on her hand.
Afterwards, Xiangluo told her that this was likely to make Fu Ci the target of public criticism. Fu Ci believed that Xiangluo would not harm himself, so he kept this thing well. She really couldn't figure it out, so many people broke their heads just for this piece of jade?
Fu Ci was sitting still, and Xiangluo pushed the door in with a food box.
"Third Miss, the slave maid saw that you didn't eat dinner, so I asked Gui Yu to prepare some snacks for you that you like to eat, and you are using some." Xiangluo said.
Fu Ci looked at Xiangluo's face with a little smile and asked, "Doesn't my aunt miss my grandmother?" ”
Xiangluo nodded and shook her head, and said, "The slave doesn't know if I want to or not. But the slave knew that the old lady would be happy at this moment. ”
Fu Ci was puzzled and asked, "Why did my aunt say this?" ”
Xiangluo smiled, "The old lady has been counting this day for a long time, she is thinking about the old general." Xiangluo said, leaving two more lines of tears, but the corners of his mouth were still smiling, and said: "If it weren't for the third lady who didn't die, the old lady probably wouldn't be able to get her wish." ”
Fu Ci was confused by what Xiangluo said. Could it be that she didn't die in death that made her grandmother make up her mind to pass on the jade dragon head to her? So that grandmother can go to her grandfather with peace of mind?
"Auntie, can you tell Porcelain the story of her grandmother and grandfather?" Fu Ci asked.
Xiangluo nodded. Fu Ci got up and gave Xiangluo a seat, sat on the edge of the bed by himself, and said, "Auntie, please speak." ”
