Chapter 82: Old Things
Old Madam Fu thought about today's events, and felt more and more that some things could not be postponed forever. If you can't be afraid of pain, you won't open the scar, and the more you are afraid of pain, the sooner you should do it.
Yao's mother was called to call Second Master Chen in person, and Mrs. Fu went to the Buddha to put on a stick of incense.
After a short while, Second Master Chen rushed over with Yao's mother.
It didn't seem to be a good mood when I looked closely, but I was surprised to know that my mother was looking for me. Mrs. Fu didn't pay attention to it, the mother and son hadn't spoken alone for many years. On weekdays, Old Madam Fu didn't even want to pay attention to Second Master Chen.
Yao's mother also looked forward to this day coming early all day, and now that it was time, she walked out softly and closed the door for the mother and son.
The room was quiet for a while, and after a while, Second Master Chen spoke first: "What did my mother call me to do?" ”
Old Madam Fu didn't answer directly, but asked, "But you quarreled with your daughter-in-law?" Seeing that Second Master Chen didn't reply, he continued: "You have to treat her well, you have been ridiculous all day long for so many years, this family is not supported by her, live well, don't make trouble with her." ”
Seeing Mrs. Fu talking about this, Second Master Chen felt impatient in his heart, and he didn't find anything else, but his ability to sue was already good.
At that moment, he immediately got up and said, "Mother, you don't care about this matter, I have my own opinions." With that, he turned around and prepared to go out.
Before he could even start speaking, he was about to leave, and Old Madam Fu scolded: "Stop! Do I want you out? ”
The mother and son finally sat down and talked together, and it was rare to have such an opportunity. Second Master Chen didn't want to leave like this, so he had to stop, turn around, and then ask calmly, "What else does Mother have to say?" ”
originally thought that there was a rare opportunity to ease the relationship between mother and son, but he didn't think that his mother would intercede for that person as soon as he opened his mouth, and he didn't like to listen.
He was even ready, thinking that if he waited for what his mother was saying, he would not argue with her, and would hide for a while. No one on the left or right should try to intercede for the Liu family, it's useless for anyone to say it!
"If you don't like to listen, I won't say it, I can't control and don't want to care about the two of you. I have come to you today for another thing to say. ”
As Mrs. Fu spoke, she saw that Second Master Chen returned to his seat and sat down again, feeling a little more steady, I was really afraid that he would not listen to people's persuasion as he did in the first few years.
Second Master Chen sat still, and didn't ask Old Madam Fu what he wanted to say to him, just waiting for Old Madam Fu to say something.
There was silence in the room again, these were things that had been a long time ago, and Old Madam Fu fell into her memory, as if she was thinking about where to start.
Only after half a sound did Old Lady Fu begin to speak, the dusty memories that had been sealed for a long time were opened, and some fragments of the second old man Chen's mind were sorted out.
That year, the sky was like a leak, and it rained for three months, so that more than 20 counties in the three state capitals along the Yangtze River were flooded, and the entire south of the Yangtze River was a water town.
When the flood receded, there were countless refugees who died of hunger and disease.
Because of this, it led to the biggest ink corruption case since the beginning of this dynasty. The emperor ordered a strict investigation, and several people of the Chen family who were officials in the court were implicated.
But they were not afraid, because it was the Chen family who was ordered to handle the case, so was it difficult to shield one or two Chen family children?
But they didn't expect that Chen Weizheng, who was the son-in-law of the Chen family, not only did not protect the children of the Chen family, but would have to break away from the Chen family from now on and set up another ancestral hall. How does this make it, Mo said that the Chen family is using him at this time, but he is not needed, so it is not up to him to decide whether to separate or not.
In order to force Chen Weizheng to compromise, the Chen family used Chen Weizheng's wife, children, and younger brother who was under the age of 10 as threats to force Chen Weizheng to make concessions.
However, they underestimated the young Fu family, so much so that this war within the Chen family had ended before it had even begun.
Because of this case, all the officials of the Chen family in the court were damaged. Chen Weizheng also paid a terrible price, his younger brother died within two years of being killed and fell ill, and his only daughter was also missing in this fight.
Even Chen Weizheng himself, when investigating the case, was almost assassinated to death, but was fortunately rescued by Wang Shi.
In the end, the case was finally solved, and the entire Jiangnan officialdom was involved in eight out of ten. The emperor was furious, but all the big and small officials involved in it were all beheaded.
Since then, Mrs. Chen has set up another ancestral hall and set up a family rule: all men of the Chen family are not allowed to take concubines. It is precisely because of that the battle was caused by Chen Weizheng's eldest brother and the eldest son of the Chen family.
These are all taboos in the Chen family, for so many years, whether it is the deceased Old Lady Chen or the current Old Lady Fu, this matter is unwilling to be mentioned.
Because for the two of them, not to mention the loss of their only young brother, they have also lost their only daughter since then.
It's just that I don't know if Mrs. Fu will turn this matter over today.
Second Master Chen was only three or four years old at the time, and he almost had no memory of these.
Old Madam Fu's heart was empty, and her eyes were a little wooden. The second master Chen who watched it also felt bad in his heart.
"Why did Mother mention this?" Second Master Chen asked unconsciously.
After asking this, I didn't know what Old Madam Fu remembered, but I saw that Old Madam Fu's eyes gradually became bright, and Second Master Chen gradually breathed a sigh of relief in his heart.
"Since then, I've been depressed, and I can't get in the mood for anyone or anything. The days went by like this for a few years, until ...... It wasn't until Ruohua's appearance that it got better! ”
When Second Master Chen suddenly heard this name, he was shocked, and his heart stagnated for a moment, but he immediately concealed his mood fluctuations.
Old Madam Fu didn't see her, and continued: "If Hua is smart and kind-hearted, then the younger grade can sensitively perceive my mood, know that I like her from the bottom of my heart, and don't want her to return to the Wang family, so I rarely mention everything in the Wang family in front of me. I gave her the best and treated her as my own daughter, thinking that this was God's compensation for me, and she was God's daughter to me! ”
Second Master Chen's eyes were empty, and he didn't seem to have listened to what Old Madam Fu said at all, but Old Madam Fu still listened to what he said, and gradually opened his eyes.
That's impossible!
"Actually, she really has eyes, she is really my daughter!" As Mrs. Fu spoke, she saw that Second Master Chen's eyes widened, and she seemed to refuse to believe it, in fact, she herself didn't believe it at first, how could it be so coincidental, how could it be so coincidental?
"You think it's incredible, too! I didn't believe it at first! Second Master Chen was shocked at this time, and Old Madam Fu thought about what she was now.
