For a rainy day
Feng Yujue's return to home was more than ten days later, and at this time, Feng Yaojue's injuries were almost healed, and he returned to his best state when he was in Qiantang.
Such a big thing happened in the house, as soon as Feng Yuyu came back, the housekeeper naturally wanted to tell him.
When Feng Yaojue went to look for him in the afternoon, he just sent away the shopkeepers in the shop, and those shopkeepers passed by Feng Yaojue in the corridor. This made Feng Yaojue curious, according to the usual practice, those shopkeepers came to report the situation regularly every month. However, in just two months, they have come four times.
Feng Yaojue stood in front of the door and knocked on the door, and only pushed the door in after getting permission. There were only Feng Yuyu and his loyal little servant in the room, who was sitting behind his desk and writing quickly on a piece of paper, regardless of Feng Yaojue who was sitting on the chair.
After the handwriting filled the entire blank paper, Feng Yuxuan put the pen down and put the paper into an envelope, and then handed it to the little man standing aside: "Go." ”
The little maid took the order and hurriedly went out, Feng Yuxuan got up and straightened out his slightly wrinkled robe, and walked over to Feng Yaojue: "The injuries on your body are healed?" ”
"Healed." Since that night, the relationship between the two brothers seems to have become a little strange, and they don't seem to know what to say when they meet, and their words have become much shorter.
The two were silent for a moment, and finally Feng Yuyu spoke first to break the silence of the room: "Have you ever asked about Lian Lian, what happened?" If the house burns down, burn it, it's okay if it's okay. ”
"Asked. I feel strange about the fire this time, the problem should not be Pian'er, but someone deliberately took advantage of Pian'er's time to set fire to the kitchen, so as to blame her. "A man who has lived in the palace for decades has long been accustomed to seeing the open and secret battles between those women. Now that this kind of thing has happened in the house, coupled with Li Pian'er's rhetoric, it is easy for Feng Yaojue to think that this is because someone can't tolerate Li Pian'er in his eyes, and he wants to get rid of it quickly.
Feng Yujue was skeptical of Feng Yaojue's statement, raised his calm eyes to look at Feng Yaojue, and asked, "How can you think so?" Not long after Lian Lian came to the house, she didn't offend anyone, who would harm her? ”
"A woman's jealousy is terrible, so I have to ask my eldest brother your lady of the seventh room." Feng Yaojue did not shy away from pointing the finger at Feng Yujue's woman, and directly picked out what he thought.
"They? Unlikely. On weekdays, they have little contact with Lianlian, and the well water does not interfere with the river water, so how can they make enemies? Feng Yuyu felt that he didn't believe the truth of Feng Yaojue's words, because it didn't make sense.
Feng Yaojue smiled lightly, glanced directly at Feng Yujue, and said, "Is it impossible?" You are the ditch. Caring is chaotic, you care too much about Pian'er on weekdays, and the people in the house are all clear-eyed people, how can you not see it? The so-called authorities are obsessed with bystanders, but because you are too involved in this matter, you don't realize that you have done too much, but others are looking at it. And that night you secretly took Pian'er to visit the night market, which you thought you had hidden from everyone, but it turned out that you couldn't escape the eyes of some people. How can this not provoke the hatred of others against Pian'er? ”
"That night I just wanted to take Lian Lian out for a break, and I saw that she was depressed all day, which was not good for the healing of the injury. She told me when she was in Yazhou that she was curious about what the night market looked like in this era, and I just wanted to fulfill one of her wishes. Feng Yuxuan never thought that the events of that night would be revealed, but he was exposed to his face by his younger brother, which made him embarrassed, and he just wanted to explain it clearly.
Feng Yaojue saw Feng Yujue's embarrassment, but he looked very indifferent, and said, "Big brother, don't be nervous, I fully understand your feelings." Everyone has the right to like someone, it's just that we all love the wrong person, I don't blame you, and you don't have to explain it to me. It's just that I hope you can believe my assumptions, and I've been investigating this matter privately. ”
Feng Yuyu suddenly suspected a person, and said casually: "Mo is not the Zhang family?" In the days when she first came back, she had some friction with her love. ”
"There's no conclusive evidence yet, so it's hard to say. By the way, big brother, the shopkeeper has been so diligent in the past two months, but what has gone wrong in the business? Feng Yaojue thought that although he couldn't worry about Feng Yuxuan, it was always good to care.
Feng Yuxuan shook his head quietly: "This is not true. I plan to transfer all the properties of the Feng family in the north to the south, and close the shops when they should be closed, and strive to move our family to Qiantang before the end of this year. ”
"What? Why is that? That's where we are founded. Will the mother agree? Feng Yaojue looked puzzled, a little unable to believe that Feng Yujue had made such a decision.
Feng Yuyu behaved very calmly and explained: "You have also seen that now the Song army has been defeated and retreated, and after the loss of Taiyuan, several cities have fallen one after another. What Lian Lian said will not be false, she once told me that in April of the second year of Jingkang in historical records, the Jin soldiers captured Kaifeng, and even the current saint was taken captive by the Jin people, and the people were displaced. And this year happens to be the year of Jingkang, and the disaster is only a few months away. ”
"It's just that there are so many properties of the Feng family, and I am afraid that they will not be able to transfer it for a while, especially those real estates, it is really difficult to deal with them by the end of this year." Feng Yaojue was worried about Feng Yuxuan, this was a huge amount of work, and he was very worried that Feng Yuxuan's body would not be able to bear it.
While the two were talking, Feng Yuyu felt the coolness of the winter evening breeze, and turned his head to see that the window opposite was still half-hidden, and wisps of evening breeze blew in through the gap, shaking slightly with the window pages.
Feng Yuyu got up and closed the window, and it was already twilight outside. He summoned the two servants, ordered them to add some charcoal to the charcoal basin, lit candles, made tea, and after the servants left, he continued the topic just now: "You don't have to worry about these things, try to deal with what you can handle, if you can't handle it, just give it up, the safety of the family is more important than anything else." You didn't just come to me for the fire that night, right? ”
"Yes, big brother, I want to marry Pian'er as my wife. I don't know how many more years I'll live, but I want to give her a place before I die, so that at least after I die, she will have a foothold in the Feng family, and this is the last way I can protect her. Feng Yaojue didn't beat around the bush, but directly said what he thought directly, which could be regarded as making up for another mistake of his own.
Feng Yuyu was silent for a moment, knocking on the lid of the cup in his hand, and after a long time, he spoke: "I actually hope that you can truly love her, instead of giving her the title of a wife." However, since this is your decision, I will do my best to fulfill you. As for your illness, as I said, there are many famous doctors in the world, and I will definitely let them cure you, so you must not be so pessimistic. ”
Feng Yaojue listened to Feng Yujue's words, and a wry smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, but that smile was only for a moment, and then said: "Big brother, you don't have to comfort me anymore, I know my body very well." I just want my eldest brother to settle Pian'er properly after my death, and not to involve her in the meaningless disputes of women. She is very simple, in terms of scheming, she is not the opponent of those women. ”
It's just that Feng Yuxuan is busy outside for most of the year, so he doesn't see the intrigue between the women in the house. However, Feng Yaojue saw it really well, this is really like a big dye vat, and sometimes even for a trivial matter, it will make a lot of trouble.
The two talked late, and it was the first time in a long time since that night that they had spoken so much. When Feng Yaojue returned from Feng Yujue's study, it was almost past midnight, and Li Pian'er was the only one in the warm room, and Xi Hai was helping Zhen'er wash and bathe with the nurse at this time and take care of him to sleep.
Li Pian'er sat alone in front of the charcoal basin in a panic, and was counting with her fingers, and immediately raised her head when she heard the sound of the door opening, and shouted, "Xianggong, are you back?" Why is it so late? It's been a few hours. ”
"Why don't you sleep yet? What are you doing here? The cold wind brought in from outside the door curled Feng Yaojue's black hair, he smiled gently, closed the door with his backhand, and walked towards Li Pian'er.
Li Pian'er blinked her smart apricot eyes, made a simple gesture and said: "Count, count how long you have to come back, I have counted to eight thousand and fifty-eight, and one count is one second, so ah, I have been waiting for you for almost two hours." ”
Feng Yaojue sat down in front of her, looked at Li Pian'er's face immersed in candlelight, and said, "It's cold, I haven't come back, you can rest first." ”
