Chapter 118: Could have done more
Recently, Mrs. Fu has been sick in bed, and Fu Tingye inevitably visits from time to time, but after many times, she is a little bored.
Because every time they met, Mrs. Fu always had to say a few words about his childhood.
Maybe the old lady wants to mend the relationship between mother and son, but reminiscing about the past is not applicable to Fu Tingye, because the more he recalls the warm time before the age of ten, the more deeply Fu Tingye is impressed by his mother's ruthless turn of face after the age of ten......
He really didn't understand why the old lady was like this.
Even if she doesn't do anything, Fu Tingye, as the only heir of the Hou Mansion, will not ignore her, and will definitely support her and take care of her for the rest of her life.
In the evening, Fu Tingye was going to go to the other courtyard to find Hua Qingxue, and by the way, supervise her to take medicine, eat and take supplements.
When he was about to go out, the guards outside came to report that Cheng Wanmiao was here again......
The reason why I use the word "again" is because she has been coming frequently recently.
However, every time it was the old lady's meaning, so the guards did not turn a blind eye, and always had to report to Fu Tingye.
Cheng Wanmiao is sixteen years old, and her family affairs are also a topic that Mrs. Fu must mention every time.
Fu Tingye frowned and asked the guards beside him: "Has there been no result in the matter that asked you to investigate?" ”
The guard looked embarrassed and replied, "I haven't found a suitable candidate for the time being." ”
Fu Tingye raised his eyebrows when he heard this, revealing a look of surprise, "In the entire Shengjing, there is not a suitable candidate?" ”
He remembered that Old Madam Fu's requirements were not too high, so how could he not find a suitable candidate?
"Back to the general, most of them who are the same age as Miss Cheng have just obtained fame, even if they have an official position, according to the rules of the imperial court, they will be sent to some small places to boil their qualifications, and the old lady should be closer to take care of them, so naturally they don't consider those who are released."
By the time he was transferred back to Beijing, he was already in his twenties, and he had already married and had children.
Not everyone is like Fu Tingye, beating a single person to twenty-eight ......
In short, the young and unmarried are still working hard, and the officials in Shengjing City are all married.
"Even so, it's not like you won't find one." Fu Tingye said with a deep frown.
There are many talents in the capital, so you can't find a young and promising Beijing official who happens to have no wife yet, right?
The guard replied: "The young sons who can have a way to serve in Shengjing are all the heirs of the big families, and the in-law relationship is complicated, even if they are not married, they have already been married." ”
But all the big families and the marriages of the children in the clan are bargaining chips for the maintenance of power, and they will never consider a down-and-out Miss Cousin like Cheng Wanmiao.
The Xu family and other small families may not know, but these families all know that the Weiyuan Marquis Mansion and Fu Tingye's General's Mansion are two different things, and marrying Cheng Wanmiao is not beneficial to them.
Speaking of which, Old Madam Fu's seemingly ordinary request actually made Fu Tingye difficult.
"Keep looking." Fu Tingye explained with some irritability.
"Yes, my subordinates obey."
Cheng Wanmiao was still waiting outside, and Fu Tingye had to be patient to go again.
The beautiful and graceful woman looks particularly pleasing to the eye in the bleak scenery of late autumn, but it is a pity that Fu Tingye has never been a person who pities the fragrance and cherishes the jade, not to mention, he will subconsciously keep a distance from the people around Mrs. Fu.
Cheng Wanmiao looked at him with a pair of beautiful eyes, "Cousin, my aunt refuses to take medicine, you go and persuade her......"
Again, for this reason.
Fu Tingye has a headache, didn't his mother just have a scene in the morning?
However, her mother was seriously ill, and as a son of man, she should never show the slightest boredom, so Fu Tingye had to go with her again.
I miss the days in Qingzhou very much......
Well, pure.
……
Fu Tingye went to Old Madam Fu, only sat for a while, and then couldn't wait to leave.
Because he remembered whether Hua Qingxue had taken medicine on time, the attitude on his face naturally revealed perfunctory.
After he left, Mrs. Fu was depressed and smashed a cup angrily!
Cheng Wanmiao was taken aback, she felt that the old lady was becoming more and more like a fake show these days, and she was clearly a person who was not sick, but now her mood was as moody as a person who was really sick for a long time!
Old Madam Fu looked gloomily at the direction Fu Tingye left, and said dissatisfiedly: "There is no filial son in front of the bed for a long time, it is really a wolf-hearted thing!" Although I am not his own mother, I raised him with my own hands! Look at him like this now! ”
Cheng Wanmiao said softly: "Maybe my cousin really has official business to be busy......
"You're useless too!" Old Madam Fu suddenly scolded, "How long has he been back in Shengjing?" You can't even hold a man's heart! He didn't even look at you when he walked through the door! It's a waste of my careful cultivation! ”
Cheng Wanmiao's eyes suddenly turned red, and she was very aggrieved.
Fu Tingye didn't look at her properly, and she was also very sad in her heart, but although she was not a famous lady, she was also everyone's daughter, how could she invite pets and flattery?
Cheng Wanmiao prides herself on being chaste and quiet and virtuous, when she was confused and deliberately fell into the water, she was rescued by the son of the Xu family in front of everyone, and there were already some rumors, if she made another mistake and took a wrong step, I was afraid that her reputation would be completely ruined!
After Mrs. Fu scolded, she also felt bored.
I wanted to use this pretending to be sick to let Cheng Wanmiao behave well, so that the two of them could have a chance to get close, but Fu Tingye didn't buy it at all! What's the use of scolding Cheng Wanmiao?
She knew that Fu Tingye would not stay in Shengjing City all the time, but Fu Tingye and Cheng Wanmiao had not made progress for a long time, how could she make him agree to marry Cheng Wanmiao in the future? How do you give birth to a little son?
The old lady's heart was anxious, the corners of her eyes drooped, and the bottom of her eyes was a haze that could not be dispersed.
The old lady didn't speak, and Cheng Wanmiao didn't dare to make a sound, so she carefully stayed aside.
I don't know how long it took, Old Madam Fu finally spoke, her voice with an old hoarseness: "Prepare, I will hold a banquet in a few days." ”
“…… Banquet? Cheng Wanmiao was surprised, "But some time ago, a flower banquet was just held in the house......
Old Madam Fu replied expressionlessly: "What a fuss, who in Shengjing City doesn't have big and small banquets?" ”
That's right, but the Marquis of Weiyuan Mansion never has a banquet, if two banquets are held in a short period of time...... Strange as it gets?
"Pass it on, just say that I have been sick for too long and want the house to be lively, as for the name......" Old Madam Fu raised her eyes and glanced at her lightly, "You can think of it casually, remember, to be lively, the more lively the better." ”
Cheng Wanmiao knew that Old Madam Fu's banquet was by no means simple, she didn't dare to ask in detail, but only nodded obediently.
……
Because of the delay at Mrs. Fu's place for a while, when Fu Tingye came to Hua Qingxue's courtyard, it was already past dinner time.
He asked Huan'er what Hua Qingxue had eaten for dinner today, and found that Hua Qingxue's meal had decreased significantly.
Fu Tingye sighed in his heart: This woman really can't do without herself! I can't even eat!
But the temperament is too squeamish, and she must no longer get used to her, how can she not eat because he is not there?!
"The blood swallow stewed last time is ready, send a bowl over." Fu Tingye said.
I finally raised a few catties of meat, and since I ate less for dinner, I made up for it at night.
After Fu Tingye finished explaining, he went straight into the house.
Hua Qingxue sat alone at the table, not knowing what she was thinking, staring blankly at the jumping candle flame on the table.
Fu Tingye walked over, touched her cheek, pinched her palm again, felt a little cold, and put a rabbit fur cloak on Hua Qingxue.
Hua Qingxue twisted, unwilling to cooperate with him, "It's too hot......"
Fu Tingye pulled her shoulders and said solemnly: "Lu Zhengqing said that you suffered from the cold this time, and you must recuperate carefully, otherwise you will fall into the problem of cold in the future." ”
Hua Qingxue bargained with him: "Then put it on, don't tie it up?" ”
Fu Tingye reluctantly agreed.
Hua Qingxue's mood was very low, and she let Fu Tingye put a cloak on herself and remained motionless.
"What are you thinking?" Fu Tingye saw her stunned and asked, "I see that you don't have much energy." ”
Hua Qingxue held her cheeks and said, "I went to the school today for a walk, Meng Fuzi was released from prison, and the children were ......very happy."
Her voice was lowered, thinking of the little girl who was carrying firewood, a little like a fish in her throat, very uncomfortable.
Fu Tingye asked, "What's wrong?" ”
Hua Qingxue thought about it, told him what she had seen and heard today, and sighed: "I always feel very pitiful, that little girl is thin and small, standing on the corner of the street, and seems to want to play with other children, but she doesn't dare to ...... The kids threw mud at her, and I tried to stop her, but everyone said she was a broom star. ”
"And that kind of thing?" Fu Tingye was also a little surprised when he heard her explain the cause and effect, "There will be a lightning ball running after people?" ”
"In the vast world, there are no ......," Hua Qingxue sighed faintly, "Although the probability is very low, it is not impossible under extreme weather conditions. Alas, because of this, everyone thinks that the Tong family has done evil things and has been punished by God, and even the children of the Tong family have been bullied and excluded......"
Fu Tingye said: "If you feel unbearable, just think of a way to help them, there is no need to be sad about this kind of thing." ”
In his opinion, this is a trivial matter, which is easy to solve, and Hua Qingxue has no need to worry about this at all.
"I just think...... Actually, I could have done more. Hua Qingxue muttered.
Fu Tingye's brows furrowed.
Hua Qingxue looked up at him, a little speechless.
Fu Tingye frowned, he suddenly had a bad premonition, and couldn't help but speak: "Lu Zhengqing said that you can't use your brains to break your mind......"
"I'm ......" Hua Qingxue pursed her lips, paused for a moment, and then said vaguely, "I...... I'll talk to him tomorrow. ”
"Is this still negotiable?" Fu Tingye's face was full of disapproval, "What do you want to do?" ”
Hua Qingxue lowered her head and whispered what she thought in her heart: "I want to ...... Converted the house into a school...... Well, I mean...... College. ”
At the end, he added: "You said last time, although I don't have fame, but if I become a master, the emperor will be extra gracious." ”
Fu Tingye looked at her in disbelief, "Do you know how much effort and energy it takes to run an academy?" ”
