Chapter 225: The Fu Family
“…… The people of Huayin said that this family was handed over to the eldest master, and I am afraid that it was going to fall. There are many people who have such thoughts. A few days ago, Steward Ding proposed to Mrs. Tai for resignation. Mrs. Tai was so angry that she didn't speak for several days. But for some reason, Steward Ding's family still got out of their nationality. My cousin and they discussed privately, saying that Steward Ding took a large sum of money out, and because two generations have helped the Fu family manage the grange and befriend some officials in the county, the Fu family had a gap with the Shi family for the water of the grange a few days ago, and it was only by taking the path of those officials that the Shi family was pressed. Steward Ding invited those officials to come out to help him speak, and the Fu family had to release him. Then there were rumors that the family was not sorry to compare, and there was only an empty shelf left, so anyone who got the money dared to take it. When Yitong said this, his tone paused slightly, showing a slight hesitation.
Fu Tingyun was stunned when he heard it.
The steward dared to ask for resignation, but the Fu family couldn't even hold it down, so they even wanted to buy the accounts of those officials....
Seeing that Yitong wanted to speak and stopped, she couldn't help but say anxiously: "What other messy rumors are there?" ”
When Yi Tong heard this, he glanced at Yuwei.
Yuwei did not avoid Yitong, but said frankly: "Sister Yitong, Mrs. has followed Jiu Ye to the south and north in the past few years, Jiu Ye has gone to the northwest, and the affairs of the family all depend on Mrs. , but it is not the young lady who was raised in the boudoir back then, is there any outsider here, if you have anything to say, just say it." Mrs. can stand it. ”
Listening to this tone, Yuwei also knew what Yitong was going to say.
Fu Tingyun's face couldn't help but show a little suspicion.
Yi Tong said in a low voice: "A businessman's family took 30,000 taels of silver to marry Miss Fourteen, but the eldest lady did not agree, but Mrs. Tai ......."
Miss Fourteen is the concubine of Master Fu Si.
Fu Tingyun got up in shock: "How can this be?" Her face was full of disbelief, "Who said that?" Who else knows? ”
If you don't believe it's true, why ask who knows?
I'm afraid that in the bottom of Miss Nine's heart, although she feels surprised, she has to admit that there is such a possibility.......
Yi Tong thought about it, and there was a slight sadness in his eyes: "The matchmaker has already met Mrs. Tai, but the eldest lady bites and doesn't let go, and she hasn't decided yet." Saying that, after a little hesitation, he added, "I'm afraid that sooner or later this matter will be settled, the fourth wife is very satisfied with this family business, and she has a quarrel with the eldest lady over this matter." ”
Fu Tingyun sat down premonitively.
Suddenly, I remembered Zhao Ling's disdainful expression when he heard that the Fu family had three chastity arches, ",...
Did he have expected such an outcome?
Fu Tingyun was a little dazed, and muttered: "Is Mrs. Tai confused?" If the fourteenth sister is married off like this, how should the sisters who got married deal with themselves in the in-law's family? ”
"Who said no," Yitong's expression was also a little gloomy, "I don't know what Mrs. Tai thinks?" ”
Oh, yes!
Mrs. Tai married into the Fu family at the age of fourteen or five, from her granddaughter-in-law to Mrs. Tai, and presided over the middle feed of the Fu family, several children were all biological, before she got married, she didn't feel that after marrying someone, she had the experience of escaping with Zhao Ling, and she looked back and felt that Mrs. Tai was not simple. Such a person, although he is old, should not make this mistake of self-harm and ruining his family?
The thought flashed, Fu Tingyun's expression froze, and his gaze at Yitong suddenly lost focus.
"Ma'am, ma'am." Yitong was frightened and hurriedly stood up, "You, what's wrong with you?" ”
Yuwei, who was standing behind Fu Tingyun, noticed Fu Tingyun's strangeness.
She was also startled, and gently pushed Fu Tingyun's shoulder: "Mrs., Mrs." He shouted Fu Tingyun with a panicked expression.
Fu Tingyun came back to his senses as if he had just woken up from a dream.
She let out a long breath, her expression was a little obscure, and asked Yitong in a low voice: "In the past two years, have the two masters sent someone to send silver to their home?" Or is there something difficult at home to send someone to ask the two masters to make an idea? ”
Yitong was a little puzzled, thought about it carefully, and shook his head gently: "No! ”
"Got it!" Fu Tingyun added a little bitterness to his obscure expression when he heard it, "Of course, other daughters are important, and the reputation of the Fu family is important, but compared to their sons, these are nothing ......, without a son, where is there a ...... of the Fu family?"
Although her voice was as light as a gnat, Yitong and Yuwei, who were all focused on her, still heard it clearly.
The two exchanged glances for no apparent reason.
Yuwei has been following Fu Tingyun all these years, Fu Tingyun treats her like a family member, and asks quietly: "What does Mrs. understand?" ”
She understood why she was drugged by the eldest lady.
All along, she always felt that the eldest lady did it without her wife. Mrs. Aether is shrewd and capable, and it is impossible not to see the strangeness in this.
Mrs. Tai can see it, but compared with her son's future and the future of the Fu family, Mrs. Tai just chose to settle for the second.
So knowing that she was still talking, Mrs. Tai didn't even give her a message.
At first, she thought that Mrs. Tai was guilty, and she didn't know what ......to say to her wronged granddaughter, but now it seems that she thought things too simply.
Originally, I was struggling with whether to see Mrs. Tai!
Fu Tingyun couldn't help but smile self-deprecatingly, and said, "Fortunately, the fifth master doesn't want to recognize me, if he really recognizes me, I'm just afraid that I will be disgusted to death!" ”
This was a clueless statement, and Yuwei and Yitong couldn't help but show worried expressions when they looked at her.
Saying these things will only make people discouraged.
Fu Tingyun laughed and said, "What kind of expressions are you two?" I would like to ask myself a few words, is there such a service as you? There was a hint of sarcasm in his tone.
The two couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief in unison.
Yuwei even smiled: "Isn't this the old overseas Chinese selling the old?" ”
"Are you old?" Fu Tingyun also had the heart to sweep away the solemnity just now, and joked with Yuwei, "I don't think I'm old!" Then he turned his head and said to Yitong, "You have a suitable family, marry your sister quickly, right?" Don't put an old man's money in my house! ”
Yitong followed suit: "She's old, there's really no suitable one!" ”
"You ......" Yu was slightly ashamed and turned red, and she didn't dare to say Fu Tingyun, so she had to be angry at Yitong, "Are you like this for other people's ladies?" Dare to say anything? ”
Fu Tingyun and Yi Tong laughed.
Mother Tong brought Youyou and Brother Xi in.
Fu Tingyun pointed to the child and introduced Yitong: "This is Yoyou, this is Brother Xi!" ”
Yi Tong respectfully kowtowed to Youyou and Brother Xi.
Yo You shouted "sister" to Yitong.
Yi Tong didn't even dare to say it, took out two longevity locks from his arms and handed them to Yuwei: "This is my filial piety to the eldest lady and the eldest young master...... It's just that I haven't had the opportunity to give it to the eldest lady and the eldest young master. ”
Fu Tingyun saw that the longevity lock looked very rough, but the workmanship was a little rough, and knew that it was specially asked by Yitong to beat it, so he was very moved, and asked Youyou and Brother Xi to thank Yitong.
Yitong turned sideways, unwilling to accept the salute.
"You serve me, why can't you accept their courtesy?" insisted on letting Youyou and Brother Xi salute.
The house was bustling.
Mrs. Lu's personal maid Shi Xie walked in: "Madam, there is a Mrs. Yao who wants to see you." She also said, "It's your fifth cousin." ”
Fu Tingyun was stunned.
The people in the room looked at her quietly, and suddenly they could hear the pins dropping.
"How did she know I was here?" Fu Tingyun said happily, and then revealed a little confusion, a little hesitation, and a little confusion......
Yitong understood it, gritted his teeth, and said in a low voice: "It's me, the ...... who let people spread the news" There was a bit of worry and fear in his tone.
Yuwei hurriedly stood beside Yitong, quietly looked at Fu Tingyun's expression, and said, "Madam, and my ......."
Fu Tingyun looked at them in surprise.
Yitong didn't dare to make a sound.
Yuwei had no choice but to bite the bullet and say, "Why did they bully their wives like this and still act like they were all right?" When my wife comes back this time, I don't know when I will be able to come back, but you don't want to go back to Huayin...... So I'm just...", she said, seeing Fu Tingyun's face sank, she didn't dare to say any more.
Yo You and Brother Xi snuggled up to Mother Tong tightly, not daring to say anything.
"You'll give me an idea!" Fu Tingyun glanced at Yuwei coldly.
Yuwei and Yitong were so frightened that their calves were verbose, and they hurriedly knelt down.
He hung his head and didn't dare to speak.
Fu Tingyun couldn't help but sigh when he looked at it.
They are also for their own good.
In order to draw a line with his father, clear the line, and repay his father's nurturing grace, he decided not to go to the Fu family ancestral hall to clarify the events of the year, how can a few good sisters explain it!
If she can pass the words back to the Fu family because of this, it can be regarded as clearing her of the crime in disguise.
Fu Tingyun couldn't help but soften in his heart and said, "You all get up!" You can't make such claims again. His tone softened.
"I won't dare again.
Yitong and Yuwei saw that Fu Tingyun had forgiven them, and they both smiled happily and hurriedly promised.
Fu Tingyun instructed Shi Zhen: "Please ask Mrs. Yao to come in!" ”
Shi Shen was already stunned by the series of changes in the room, and when he heard the words, he said "oh" and hurried out of the hall.
Yoyou threw herself into her mother's arms: "Mother, hug!" ”
Brother Xi also twisted his body towards his mother: "Mother, mother, Brother Xi!" "It means that he has to hug it too.
Fu Tingyun was amused and angry, hugged the children comfortingly, and Shi Zhen led the fifth aunt and grandmother of the Fu family in.
"Megumi, it's really you!" Looking at Fu Tingyun who was holding the child, her eyes widened, "You, you are really alive!" He didn't say a word, and tears were already rolling in his eyes, "Since you are alive, why don't you go to me?" She took a few steps forward and stretched out her hand, wanting to grab her seemingly dignified and polite but very cunning and naughty sister like when she was a child, but what was striking was that the light and shade of the light in the room in Fu Tingyun's hair flickered golden dazzling light from time to time, and at that moment, she suddenly realized that the cousin who had practiced the piano with her in the water plant and teased Mr. together had long disappeared in the long river of time. The official who guarded the side was a three-rank military general and was flattered by officials of all sizes in Shaanxi....
