On the second day, Zhou Jingrong got up late, and hurriedly finished combing and ran to Songtao Courtyard.

On the way, Zhou Jingrong saw Fu Yunshen pacing in front of him, and immediately chased after him and asked, "Fu Yunshen, why didn't you call me when you got up so early?" Did you deliberately want me to be scolded for being late? ”

Fu Yunshen, who was inexplicably attacked, was a little aggrieved, frowned slightly, and said lightly: "Grandmother won't scold you." ”

Zhou Jingrong shook his head: "That's not the point!" The point is that even if my grandmother doesn't blame me, others will gossip! ”

Fu Yunshen glanced at Zhou Jingrong innocently: "But you didn't let me call you." ”

“！” Zhou Jing was angry, but what Fu Yunshen said was right, she had nothing to say, so she could only sulk by herself.

Walking to Songtao Courtyard, Zhou Jingrong heard Fu Jiao's voice from the house from a distance, and seemed to tremble with anger: "I am the daughter of the Emperor of Heaven and the Lord of Heyang County, I was born noble, but I married a scholar and was tortured by the women of Shanye Village for fifteen years!" finally kept her husband's funeral and was able to return home, but her mother asked her daughter to return to Lin's house? Back then, the mother couldn't make the decision for her daughter, and now she wants to force her daughter to return to the fire pit? ”

Immediately afterwards, there was an angry shout from Mrs. Fu and the sound of the cup breaking: "Shut up!" ”

Fu Jiao was still crying, but Zhou Jingrong couldn't hear what she was saying, and was completely blinded by the sentence of the emperor and county lord.

She only knew that the Fu family had moved from Fujia Village, not far from Puhe County, more than ten years ago, but she didn't know that the Fu family still had such a secret and noble background?

Inside the house, Mrs. Fu was reprimanding Fu Jiao: "Don't mention the honor in the past, the past identity is like a different world, this is a family rule, have you forgotten?" ”

Fu Jiao knelt on the ground and walked to Mrs. Fu on her knees, with tears in her eyes: "Mother, did Master Zhou say something, you are here to protect the Zhou family, right?" My daughter knows that she can't be tolerant and generous, but which sentence did I say wrong? In the future, Erlang High School will be able to restore the glory of my Fu family! That Zhou family is just the daughter of a merchant, from a humble background, and has a loss of virtue, how to match Erlang, how to be the housewife of my Fu family?! ”

Mrs. Fu hated that iron could not become steel, so she slapped the table angrily: "Jiao Niang, you have forgotten that when the Fu family first came to Puhe, they encountered several crises, and it was Master Zhou who helped." The Fu family can occupy a place in Puhe, and it is inseparable from the Zhou family, so the Fu and Zhou families became two surnames. You have embarrassed the daughter of the Zhou family several times, and you have no bearing to be an elder at all, and even made things difficult for the daughter of the family in front of your in-laws, damaging the relationship between the two families. You say, are you wrong? ”

Fu Jiao said stubbornly: "I'm not wrong! ”

Lin Shutong also knelt at the feet of Mrs. Fu, crying like a tearful person, begging bitterly: "Grandmother, don't be angry, don't drive me and my mother back to the Lin family, we must treat the second cousin well in the future!" Dad is gone, no one is protecting us, grandmother is so fierce, Tong'er is afraid, Tong'er doesn't want to go back! ”

Fu Jiao couldn't bear it anymore, hugged Lin Shutong and cried. provoked Mrs. Fu to also cry, and for a while, the grandmother, mother and daughter cried together.

Outside the house, Zhou Jingrong was entangled.

She heard them arguing, and it was not good not to go in and dissuade them; But what they said seemed to involve some privacy, and it was not good to rush in, and they didn't know where to go for a while.

Zhou Jingrong looked at Fu Yunshen for help, the latter looked faint, and didn't seem to care about the quarrel in the house, so he just said, "Let's go." ”

Zhou Jingrong looked left and right, but it was still difficult to choose.

Seeing that Zhou Jingrong didn't move, Fu Yunshen directly grabbed her wrist and dragged her out.

Zhou Jingrong was worried in her heart, and kept looking back in the direction of Songtao Courtyard, chattering: "Fu Yunshen, they are arguing so fiercely, nothing will happen, right?" Let's go back and persuade. ”

Zhou Jingrong talked to herself for a while, but she didn't get a response.

She looked up and saw a faint sadness floating on Fu Yunshen's always calm face. His eyes were blank and preoccupied, and he wasn't listening to what she was saying.

Zhou Jingrong shut up with interest and obediently followed Fu Yunshen away.

At night, Zhou Jingrong lay on the bed tossing and turning, and finally couldn't help asking: "I heard that Old Lady Fu is a Dashitong person, a high-spirited and bright person, and a master of the Son of Heaven, highly respected, why was he convicted and exiled?" ”

Fu Yunshen looked at Zhou Jingrong, even in the dark, Zhou Jingrong could feel his gaze piercing the air like a sharp blade, and couldn't help but be a little afraid: "I'm sorry, I'm so curious, so I asked the old servant of the Fu family to inquire." ”

Fu Yunshen retracted his gaze and was silent for a long time.

After a while, Zhou Jingrong asked softly, "Fu Yunshen, are you angry?" ”

Fu Yunshen sighed lightly: "You are honest." ”

Zhou Jingrong did not use care as an excuse, and bluntly said that curiosity was troublesome, but it made Fu Yunshen's heavy mood much easier.

He spoke slowly, and did not hide it: "The affairs of the court are treacherous, my grandfather was demoted, my father and second uncle were implicated, and they died of illness on the way to exile. My mother...... My mother, who was already in weak health, suffered a great change, and died soon after. When I was young, my grandmother took my family out of Beijing to the Fu family's village, a side branch of the Fu family, and soon we moved to Puhe County. My grandmother made a house rule that no one was allowed to talk about the past, probably because she didn't want to remember the past. ”

Zhou Jingrong sat up suddenly, and said solemnly in the direction of Fu Yunshen: "You are wrong, grandmother's intention is not here, she doesn't want anyone to be confined to her original identity and can't get out of the shadow and imprisonment of the past." ”

Zhou Jingrong was born to die, and the past was a lifetime away, and he was deeply touched by this.

Then, she raised her voice happily: "Fu Yunshen, you can't stay yesterday, it's pointless to be trapped in the past." Everyone lives in the present, so no matter what the past was, we must try to live! ”

After a long time, a faint, but firm and powerful response came from the darkness: "Hmm." ”
