Chapter 685: The Lost Dog
The snow is getting heavier and heavier, and the old and desolate Taoist temple is wrapped in silver makeup, like a Qionglou Yuyu.
There is no trace of heavy snow, and all good things can be covered by heavy snow, so that the world cannot see the truth, and can only imagine in their minds that the hidden truth will be ugly;
And all the ugliness can also be whitewashed by the snow, so beautiful that it does not eat the fireworks of the world.
This world is true or false, looking at the pure and flawless snowflakes, who would imagine that the place covered by the broken jade is a garbage dump.
Su Qian's smile was shallow, but Fu Qing saw bitterness in his smile.
If King Qing hadn't had an accident, or Su Qian had never met King Qing, then nothing would have happened.
But if Su Qian hadn't met King Qing, he would have been just a small servant in the Bofu, Ah Fu Alu shouted, when he grew up, he would marry a girl in the mansion as his wife, even if he had been collected by the master, he would have to be grateful, he was just a lowly little person, trampled under his feet like an ant. Even if the Su family, a hundred-year-old clan thousands of miles away, went to the heavens and the earth to find the lost son-in-law, it had nothing to do with him.
It is precisely because he met King Qing that he became the moth of his uncle, and someone will find his biological parents for him, and he will know that this child who was sold by his teeth is actually a son of a noble family.
Everything is interlocking, there is a cause and there is an effect, one step forward is gain, one step back is loss, in fact, there is only that step between gain and loss.
This truth should have been understood a long time ago, but at this moment, in Su Qian's body, Fu Qing felt even more embarrassed.
"Brother Fu, if you didn't have a lord back then, what were you doing at this time?" After a while, Su Qian's faint voice came from his ears.
What are you doing? I think I can do a lot of things, at least not as idle as I am now.
Fu Qing smiled bitterly: "Our Fu family was originally a merchant, and we have been serving in camps for several generations, and when we arrived at my grandfather's generation, we finally provided my father as a jinshi." When I was four years old, I came to the house with good news, my grandfather fainted on the spot, and after waking up, he kowtowed everywhere, kowtowed to the Buddha and Bodhisattva, kowtowed to the ancestors, and then the county lord also came to our house, calling my grandfather Shibo, my grandfather was so happy that he rubbed his hands, and he didn't know how to respond...... Later, my father's official became bigger and bigger, from a magistrate to a Beijing official, and our whole family entered the capital, you can't imagine it, at that time, my grandfather's body was at the end of the crossbow, but he held on, he said he couldn't die, if he died, my father would have to worry for three years, so he used ginseng to continue his life and live......"
"When I was admitted to the lifting of people, my father was very happy, he said that our Fu family is going to have another jinshi, but I also stopped at lifting people."
After Fu Qing was admitted to the exam, his reputation spread, at that time, Fu Shaoji was already the prince of the country, and Fu Qing was good-looking, people are also free and easy, love to play and play, he soon became a figure that the nobles in the capital like to befriend, and the nobles in the boudoir also quietly talked about him, but whenever he appeared, it would attract the affectionate eyes of his daughter's family.
At that time, he was very proud, thinking that in front of him was the Golden Strip, he would be like his father in the Golden Palace, famous, ranked in the court, his starting point was higher than his father's, and his connections were wider than his father's, so his future would be smoother than his father's.
But he was too confident and too outstanding, he finally attracted the attention of the Empress Dowager, so he became a colt, and he was still helpless Furun.
Furun is the eldest daughter of King Shun, her mother was born in the Guo family of the Shilin clan, and Furun is a veritable golden branch and jade leaf.
King Shun died early, and the Empress Dowager felt sorry for the Furun Fuze sisters, and promoted them from the county lord to the princess, enjoying the prince's salary, but unfortunately Fuze died at a young age, leaving only Furun.
A princess without the support of her father and brother, her situation is not as good as that of the county lord.
Compared with princesses, the marriage of county lords is relatively easy, they can teach their husbands and children, and their husbands raise their eyebrows, their husbands marry them, and their careers are smoother, and their in-laws are more noble because of them, and the blood of their children and grandchildren is more noble, so they can often live happily and willfully in their husbands' families;
And the princesses have to live separately from the horses according to the rules, the horses of this dynasty only have a false title from the third grade, they have nothing to do all day long, walk the horses and raise birds, if they offend the grandmother around the princess, maybe two or three months will not see the princess.
Fu Qing shook his head with a smile and said to Su Qian: "Xiao Su, how old are you this year, twenty-three, twenty-four?" At a good age, if I were as old as you, I would definitely not hide in a small Taoist temple, the world is very big, and there is always a place where you can spread your wings and fly high. ”
A snowflake fell on the window lattice, Su Qian stretched out his finger to pinch it, but the snowflake touched his finger and melted in an instant.
Fu Qing sighed: "Xiao Su, the capital is full of flowers, but just like this snowflake, you can't touch it, and it doesn't belong to you, let's go, go back to Jiangnan, if you don't want to go to Jiaxing, you can go to Jinling, go to Yangzhou, or ......"
Speaking of this, Fu Qing paused, and his clear voice suddenly became low: "...... Go to Anhui. ”
Su Qian was stunned, obviously not knowing why Fu Qing would put Anhui and Jinling Yangzhou together, but he was quickly relieved: "I have never been to Huangshan, it is said that Qishi Waterfall, there is no cave, listen to Brother Fu's mention, I also want to go for a walk." ”
Yes, Huangshan is in Anhui, which is the place that ancient and modern literati yearn for.
Fu Qing laughed, his laughter was heroic and free, and his gentle appearance was like two people.
"Brother Fu, what are you laughing at?" Su Qian was puzzled.
Fu Qing restrained his smile and looked Su Qian up and down: "Xiao Su, are you pretending to be confused?" ”
"What's the explanation?" Su Qian was confused.
"Xiao Su, don't you know where His Royal Highness King Qing is now?" The room fell silent for a moment, and a pin drop could be heard.
Su Qian picked up the tea cup, for some reason, his hands trembled slightly, and a few drops of tea overflowed, wetting his sleeves.
He was a little embarrassed, and even said that he was rude, put down the tea cup again, took out a handkerchief and wanted to wipe it, but the tea had seeped into the cloth and had nowhere to wipe it.
Fu Qing took in his movements, Su Qian, he was still tender, and after losing the backer of King Qing, Su Qian didn't even have the chic he used to be.
I think that at the beginning, Su Qian and Huo Qingzhou walked side by side, attracting many envious eyes.
The world is really ironic, he is also a person who has something to do with King Qing, Su Qian is just a companion, but he is as sad as a lost dog, and Huo Qingzhou, who is the uncle of King Qing, is still as bright as the moon in the sky, his reputation is greater than when he was in the capital, it is said that even Zhanchen has sent people to visit several times.
After all, although Su Qian was born in the Su family, he has been away from home for many years, and he has lost a lot of intimacy with the family, so if something happens, the family can't protect him, and Huo Jiang has been immersed in officialdom for many years, so he took his son to Jiangnan early, not only to gain a good reputation for himself and his son, but also to avoid a disaster.
