Chapter 51: The Condolences of the Old Ministers
On the ninth day of the lunar month, the sky was cloudy and snowy, Yao Shangshu quietly went to the suburbs to bury the man's body, the emperor originally ordered the corpse to be thrown into the wilderness, but in the end he ignored it anymore, and it was considered to have left a little dignity.
Supervising Yushi Fan Hu warmed a pot of wine at home and waited for Yao Shangshu to return.
The sky outside became more and more gloomy, and Fan Hu became more and more uncomfortable.
Concubine Ji brought a side dish and persuaded him to eat two bites, but he also sent him away.
After a while, the lady came in with a plate of millet cakes.
"Master, it's better to eat two bites and take care of yourself."
Fan Hu still waved his hand, "I can't eat, at this time, how can I be in the mood to eat." ”
Madame wanted to persuade him, but he stopped the conversation, he didn't want to say anything, but he seemed to be uncomfortable in his heart, so he still muttered.
"I don't know how he explained to the first emperor over there, I'm afraid that all of our old ministers have been complained."
"Why did the lord say such a thing, once the son of heaven and a courtier, if he really wanted to be loyal, he would follow him to the underground.
When Emperor An Lie, he didn't give you a lot of white eyes, and he pretended to be a loyal minister. Madame was unrelenting, as if she couldn't look down on Fan Hu's roundaboutness.
Fan Hu wanted to distinguish between the two sentences, but he felt that he couldn't tell his wife clearly, so he waved his hand impatiently, "You just go down, let me be alone." ”
"I ate that millet cake, and I was hungry, and my family had to be busy." Seeing him, the lady nodded, and said two more words, and then went out.
Fan Hu looked at the plate of millet cakes, and choked up a little, and he didn't know if there was food in front of that person's grave?
It was so cold, he was lying on the ground, I don't know how cold it must be......
But the matter has come to this point, and it is irreparable, he suddenly picked up the plate of millet cake, and bit it hard in his mouth, as if biting and biting, and vented his resentment.
At the beginning of the unitary hour, Yao Shangshu came back with a cold feeling.
Fan Hu immediately invited Yao Shangshu to sit down in the warm pavilion, and immediately the obedient little man came up to take off Yao Shangshu's coat and roasted it on the shelf by the charcoal fire.
As soon as he sat down, Fan Hu leaned over and couldn't help asking, "Are you all right?"
Yao Shangshu nodded and said softly, "It's all right." It's just that I was wronged. ”
"Yes, I was wronged, but who in this world is not wronged? Lao Yao, you also want to open some. ”
At dusk, the snow falls and spreads all over the sky.
Soon, everywhere was wrapped in a layer of silver, indescribably solemn and cold.
It seems that God also understands the hearts of the two people, and uses this heavy snow to annotate the sad hearts of the two.
The two of them faced the lonely window of the study, listened to the cold snow outside the window, and looked at the plum with a bottle on the case, and tears began to blur their eyes.
After drinking a few glasses of stuffy wine in this way, it seems that the heart of loyalty and patriotism has also been relieved, and the company of each other at this time has strengthened the affection of colleagues.
Putting down the wine glass, Yao Shangshu silently said goodbye.
On this day, the Zuo Prime Minister's Mansion was also covered with dark clouds.
Zuo Xiang stayed alone in the study, and no one asked to see him.
The scholar had already delivered dinner three times, and they were all called back.
While the lady let it go, the master wanted to call it back, which was really embarrassing.
In the end, Mrs. personally brought a bird's nest porridge over, so to say, Zuo Xiang drank two sips.
With the strength, he was able to hold on to a speech.
It seems that if you don't say it, you will always be blocked in your heart, you will block the eight veins of the strange meridians, you will block the path of breathing, and your conscience will always ache.
When the lady saw that he didn't speak, she coughed and wheezed first, and after several years of husband and wife love, she was a little choked up when she saw her husband revealing the situation of the next life.
The daughter is missing, which is an indelible thorn in the husband and wife.
But now, only the two support each other.
Xu Tingheng showed a rare gentle expression, and looked at his wife's hair half white.
It's just more than a year, and the red face is no longer there, it's not that it's not sad.
"Madam, you've worked hard all these years."
"What do you do to say this, it makes people's eyes sour.
The emperor is still good to our Xu family, although Manshu is gone, he has not set up another queen, and your position as the left minister is also stable.
Nowadays, taking care of your body is the number one priority.
Yes, you can always find it slowly. ”
"There is no parent who does not know his children?
Her Dao heart is so tenacious, it is because we forced her to marry that we have these things.
As a father, I can't stand up to her.
But I'm not for myself, it's for the sake of the world. ”
"I understand, I understand, otherwise I wouldn't be desperate to marry you, that is, I know that you are an ambitious person.
Others say that you are the top student in high school to get to where you are today, but I know how much you have done to the people of the community. ”
"What I can do is just to improve the status of some scholars, they study hard, not just to have a chance to serve the country.
I have made the imperial examinations normalized, held regularly, so that the scholars of the imperial examinations have beautiful officials to do, and it is not in vain for them to read those sage books.
Even now, he doesn't value readers, it's just an expedient measure.
But for that promise, I have to say those things against my heart. I can't live with the four princes, and I can't live with Emperor Anlie. ”
After saying this, he seemed to have exhausted his strength, coughed violently, he used his hand to block, but there was still a little crimson splashed out, and the lady looked at the heart and was half cold, and hurriedly called the scholar to call the doctor to see.
After tossing for half a night, I gradually fell asleep in the second half of the night.
Mrs. was not at ease, so she invited the doctor to ask, but she replied: "Lord Zuo Xiang has injured his lungs, don't worry about it, as long as you can recuperate with peace of mind, you will be safe."
Don't think too much, otherwise the Da Luo Immortal will be difficult to save. ”
The lady said, "It's late at night, don't go back, sir, wait in the house, and go back when the master can get out of bed."
I'll tell the butler to bring a message to your house in a moment. ”
The lady went to the tent again, guarded for a while, and saw that her husband was sleeping soundly, so she chose a peaceful concubine Lu Liu to guard, and went back to rest by herself.
Lying on the bed, she became more and more awake, her daughter has been missing for more than a year, and she has never heard from her, although she said that the mother and daughter are connected, but she did not feel half a sense this time.
In the past, when her daughter was in Qingcheng Mountain, she was always concerned, and even every time she made every improvement in her Taoism, she could empathize with her.
After all, having a foundation of cultivation is still different.
When I walked into Hongchen for love, I really don't know if it was worth it?
Don't think about it, there is already a sad cry of green willows over there.
rushed over to take a look, it turned out that the old man vomited blood again, and the frightened flower of the green willow was discolored, pulling the sleeve of the lady and crying.
Another doctor, another decoction, and the sky gradually brightened.
"Madame, ma'am, go and rest."
The green willow served the lady diligently, which was not done before.
Sure enough, everyone could see that the old man's body was afraid that it would not work. In the future, the lady will be in charge of this family, and she won't look at the eyebrows and eyes, but how can she do it.
When Madame walked out of the room, the snow outside that had fallen all night began to stop.
