Chapter Twenty-Three: Worth a Thousand Gold Coins
Fu Shi sat on the Luohan couch by the window, leaning on the side, with a little tiredness on his face, and was dozing. A little girl of twelve or thirteen pounded her legs.
Hearing the movement, Fu Shi opened his eyes and asked lightly, "How is it?"
He didn't say a word, and just left. Fu Xing sat on the couch and pinched Fu Shi's shoulder, looking lonely, "I don't even want money, and I don't know what I can make a living in the future." ”
"Don't think about it. Fu Shi said, and the child's extraordinary appearance appeared in front of him, "I see that he has a good temperament, and if he leaves, he may create a career." If he unfortunately starved to death, it should be his life, and no one else is to blame. ”
"I hope so. Fu Xing didn't believe it. What else can such a person do?
There was a rush of footsteps outside the door.
Seeing the comer, Fu Shi and Fu Xing were both stunned.
Since the eldest son Fu Yu proposed to split the family, and often went out to make a living, he rarely came back to visit Fu. During this time, because of the cold, he recuperated at home, and handed over the business affairs to the trusted steward of the clan for temporary management.
The number of times I came to visit Fu every month can be counted on one hand.
You actually came to say hello this early in the morning?
"Yu'er. Why did you come here so early today?" Fu Shi said, seeing that Fu Yu's expression was wrong, he hurriedly beckoned the little maid to retreat to make a pot of tea, and hurriedly asked, "What happened?"
"Mother. Fu Yu glanced at Fu Xing, "Did you pick up someone from Central Plains City?"
Fu Shi wondered, "You have to make your words clear?" Otherwise, the more I listen, the more confused I become." "Could it be that this is early in the morning to ask the teacher about sin?
Fu Yu's expression was gloomy.
"I heard that my brother-in-law, the Minister of Labor and Household Affairs, was removed from his post without cause. After a little further investigation of the grapevine, I found out that this matter had something to do with the Xunhuan and the boy you brought back. ”
Fu Yu's business in Zhongyuan City has been able to grow in recent years, most of which is also due to the protection of the workers' liberation, and the business has a wide range of financial resources, and the interests cannot be divided in half with the principal. Now that the work is not clear, he is dismissed, and Fu Yu feels a headache when he thinks about it.
Compared with this, Fu Yu had a headache even more, in case the Fu family accidentally provoked any nobleman in Central Plains City, he would not be able to do business in Central Plains City, so he hurried to Fu's house.
The little maid took the tray, handed tea to a few people, and retreated to the door to guard.
Fu Yuzheng felt that his mouth was dry, he couldn't drink it when he picked it up, and he didn't have the patience to blow cold, which added a little anxiety. Fu Yu persuaded with a reproachful tone: "Mother, I still take this opportunity to send Gong Xunhuan back to Gong's house, how can I say that Gong Xie is also Xunhuan's own father, she has grown up, and it is not good to stay with us again." ”
Fu Shi's expression was solemn and silent.
Fu Xing twisted her willow eyebrows and said unhappily: "Big brother, that bastard was deposed and deposed, what does it have to do with us?
Fu Yu sighed, sat on the chair, and drank tea.
The little maid guarding outside shouted, "Master." ”
Fu Ya held a letter in his hand and walked in. Seeing that Fu Yu was also stunned, he exchanged a few words of greeting, and then asked Fu Shi: "Mother, there is a letter sent to us from the Central Plains City." ”
Fu Shi was sleepy when he heard this, and yawned again and again.
Fu Ya hurriedly said with concern: "Mother, you have been running around for a few days, and your body can still eat?
"Out of the way. When people are old, they are useless. Fu Shi waved his hand and asked, "What did Gong Xie say in that letter?"
Fu Ya was silent for a moment.
"Gongjie wants to take Xunhuan back to Central Plains City. is also willing to make up for all the living expenses that have been spent on Xunhuan over the years. Fu Ya said lightly.
Fu Shi sneered after hearing this.
"A few years ago, Xunhuan went to Zhongyuan City, and their family, who would be willing to see Xunhuan more? The children are ignorant and petty, and they refuse to take the stick lightly, and they beat the children all over their bodies. Fu said angrily.
Turn your hand over and knock over the teacup.
There was a bang, and the tea cup porcelain pieces splashed everywhere.
The room was suddenly quiet, and no one dared to make a sound to annoy Fu again.
"I heard Xun Huan say that he also brought people into the forbidden place of the tomb to kill her! If Xun Huan is really sent to the Central Plains City, I won't see it for two days, so I have to go over to collect the body for Xun Huan!" Fu was furious.
Xunhuan has grown up beside her since she was a child, and she pities this child and her parents, and loves her wholeheartedly. Let her white-haired people send black-haired people, then nothing will be discussed!
Fu Ya was angry and shocked when he heard it.
A few days ago, the An Caizhan soothsayer from the Holy City appeared in the forbidden place of the cemetery, and he felt that it was inappropriate, and warned Fu Xing many times, and warned them more than once in front of Fu, telling them not to act rashly for the time being, waiting for the news from the An soothsayer.
As a result, without paying attention, the two mothers and daughters ran to Central Plains City without making a sound.
Fu Ya probably heard some rumors in the Central Plains City: the tomb owner demon Xiuhe violated the city laws and raised ghouls privately, and those who went in to discover the secret were all assassinated by him, and only the second daughter of the Gongjia was knocked out and escaped. Now I heard Fu Shi say that Gong Xie had taken people into the forbidden place of the cemetery to kill workers for fun, and then thought of Gong Xie being dismissed without knowing in vain, how could Fu Ya not be frightened.
Hearing Fu's words, Fu Yu was the same as Fu Ya, and his face changed slightly.
There are only a handful of people who can make Gong Xie obediently take people into the forbidden place of the cemetery to kill their own daughters, and the most likely of them is that they can't afford to provoke the most, the Central Plains King Demon Repair Lamp!
"Mother, look at what you are talking about!" Fu Yu reacted and said with a smile, "Xunhuan has never been at odds with her father, and it is inevitable that she will tell a lie and slander Gongjie, and you don't know her." But in other words, Gongjie will not kill people for no reason, it is difficult to guarantee that he was ordered by someone, it is rare for this Central Plains City to have this power!"
Fu Shi was stunned, his face pale.
"You...... This is to say......" Fu Shi thought of it, and was so shocked that he couldn't say a complete word.
Fu Yu raised his eyebrows and said in a deep voice: "Mother, this is not what I said. It's just that we can't be wrong if we think about it first. ”
Fu sighed.
"About this, when Xunhuan comes back, ask her what she thinks. I'm too old to protect any of my children and grandchildren. Fu Shi said sadly, "Just stay with Xing'er and be my companion, you can disperse." ”
"Mother. Fu Yu showed a hesitant expression, "A noble man in my business asked me for a favor and wanted to take that young man away as a righteous son." I saw that this was a good thing, so I agreed. ”
Fu Shi and Fu Xing glanced at each other, frowning in displeasure. This Fu Yu is used to greedy for money, and if he can agree, he must have received a lot of benefits.
Fu Shi glanced at Fu Xing and signaled her not to talk nonsense.
"Then you go with Xing'er and ask the boy if he wants to. Fu Shi said in a deep voice, "Just don't let gossip reach Xunhuan's ears." ”
Fu Ya, who walked to the door, paused, and saw that it didn't matter, so he walked away.
Fu Yu Meiyu stretched, and the voice should be yes, urging Fu Xing to lead the way quickly, but he couldn't wait to fly over immediately and take the young man away.
That's worth a thousand gold coins!!
