Chapter 109: Farewell
Kong Lin and Li Jinxiu couldn't help but sigh when they heard this. Although they didn't have much time together, the friendship between the few people was already very deep.
Originally, Huan Ci was afraid of being cautious and bored, and he didn't dare to have a little sad mood these days, but now he wanted to part with them, and he suddenly had the idea of reluctance.
After saying goodbye, the two went out of the courtyard.
At night, everyone was still busy cleaning up, and a maid came in from outside the door and walked straight to Huan Ci and handed her a piece of jade pendant in her hand: "This is sent by Master Kong, saying that it is for our girl, and I want to recognize her as my goddaughter." ”
Hearing this, Huan Ci turned his head and looked at Fu Shen, took the jade pendant with a smile, and said, "You sent someone to find out the fine crystal inkstone and send it to him, all as a return gift." ”
The little maid hurried away after receiving the order. Huan Ci put the jade pendant around Chen'er's neck, teasing her by the cradle, and said, "It's hard for him to have a heart." ”
Fu Shen paced over and looked at the jade pendant, and stretched out his hand to hold Huan Ci's arm: "Sleep, I have to get up early tomorrow." This journey is a long way, you should take good care of it, don't trample your body. ”
"Where are you so squeamish?" Huan Ci muttered a few words, and suddenly had an idea, and jumped up from the bed, "How about you say that it is better to let our girls learn martial arts?" ”
"How dare you think about it?" The corners of Fu Shen's mouth twitched slightly. There's nothing wrong with learning martial arts, keep fit, and clean up those shitties like your mother. It's just a matter of being a general. In the past, he always wanted to be an official, but now that he has done it himself, he has gradually turned back to the complaining words of the ancients. His daughter should spend her life in peace, and it is a good thing to go into battle to kill the enemy, but she should not be in this officialdom.
Seeing that he was fascinated, Huan Ci couldn't help but shake his hand in front of his eyes: "I'm just talking nonsense, are you still serious?" ”
"It's like something you can do." Fu Shen chuckled.
Huan Ci gave him a blank look, turned over and lay down on the bed. Tomorrow they will get up early to bid farewell to Zongzheng Law, and when he returns, the group will leave for the state.
Although he went to see Zong Zhenglu, but now he is not accompanied by good stubble, and Huan Ci faintly feels that there is a tough battle to be fought.
The next day, Fu Shen got up before dawn, Huan Ci rubbed his eyes, looked at the man's busy figure through the candle that had just been lit, and said in a thick nasal voice: "I feel that I have just fallen asleep, why do I have to get up so soon?" ”
No sooner had she said than the baby in the cradle let out a clear cry. Huan Ci hurriedly stepped forward to check, and the nurse heard it and hurried into the house.
The child used to sleep with her for the past few days, but yesterday when her house was cleaned up, she knocked over the spices, and now she is so choked that she can't live in it, so she has to put the child in this house.
Fu Shen was about to clean up, Huan Ci was anxious, and after handing the child to the nurse, he hurriedly got up to clean up and wash, and muttered: "I often hear people say that children like to cry at night, why don't you see Chen'er crying?" This kid doesn't like to cry all the time, and I think he will be wild in the future. ”
Fu Shen took advantage of this time to go over and hug the child for a while: "If only the temperament could follow me." ”
"What's up with you? Keeping everything in your heart is not good for your body. I don't want my kids to be like that. ”
Fu Shen shook his head and sighed, and said to the baby in his arms: "You just don't have to be as stubborn as your mother." ”
"When did I get naughty?" Huan Ci hurried over and was about to hit him, but the man grabbed his wrist and took a step forward, and then there was a burst of warmth on his forehead.
Huan Ci's face turned red, and he secretly glanced at the nurse outside, pretended to cough, and twisted him with his hand and said, "I'm going to face the saint later, what are you doing?" ”
"Does he even have to care about this?" Fu Shen smiled.
While he was talking, someone outside spread the news that the carriage was ready. Huan Ci followed Fu Shen and walked out, and heard the man tell her: "Don't talk after you go later, don't be angry at what others say, I'm done." ”
"Don't worry, can they still be wild in front of the sect's political law?"
It's a pity that Huan Ci thinks of them too well. The place where we met today was the Governor's Mansion, and I didn't want to have a lot of officials, large and small, except for Kong Lin and Li Jinxiu, who had only met last night, Wei Xiang, who was going to take office again, and Xu Xing, who was standing behind Fu Shen, there were already many local officials. It's just that Huan Ci was surprised that there were still a few Beijing officials sitting here, and he didn't know when he arrived in Jizhou, even Chen Hui, the governor of Qinzhou, arrived.
The hall was originally lively, but as soon as the two of them entered, it was quiet. Huan Ci is the princess of Zongzheng Law, but she doesn't have to salute most of the people, but Fu Shen's highest name now is actually a concubine, and he has to salute many people here, many of whom have targeted him openly and secretly.
Huan Ci watched from the side and panicked for him, but he thought that she should be like this now, making them think that the two of them were miserable because of the dismissal.
After Fu Shen stood still, everyone saluted Huan, and a few people mentioned her father in words.
Zong Zheng Law ordered the two to arrange seats, and they will sit next to him, but this time Huan Qi was closer to him.
Before the stool was hot, Chen Hui stood up and spoke to the two of them. first said that the two of them had a place where they were not well taken care of when they were in Qinzhou, and hoped to add more Haihan, and then mentioned the assassination of Fu Shen, and reprimanded the murderer who was found out.
Huan Ci watched him play coldly. They just found an ordinary petty official to take the blame, and this matter has nothing to do with Chen Hui, but Wei Xiang picked it up cleanly.
Now Fu Shen has the evidence in his hands, but he hasn't caught them all, I'm afraid he will have to save it for later.
As soon as Chen Hui finished speaking, he said: "It turns out that there is such a story, but I don't know it at all. ”
Chen Hui originally came to fall into the ground, but unfortunately he chose the wrong method, and he didn't want Zong Zhenglu to listen to his hypocritical lies, so he panicked for a while, and hurriedly said that he would do his duty in the future.
"These are the little things." Zong Zhenglu smiled, looking like he didn't care much about watching the play.
For a while, everyone in the hall couldn't tell the true meaning of the sect's political law. He was the one who dismissed the prime minister, but he was the one who still insisted on implementing the new law, and I don't know whether he protected Fu Shen or not.
Because of his vague attitude, everyone restrained a little and spoke without being salty.
Fu Shen only came to say goodbye to Zongzheng Law, so he only said a few words to him, and the rest of the time it was faint, and he didn't say much.
"Master Ma hasn't spoken much since he came in, is he dissatisfied with His Majesty?" Xu Xing suddenly asked.
Huan Ci didn't expect him to ask such a thing, and looked at him in surprise for a while, only to see that the man's eyes were not kind, and he stood firmly behind Zong Zhenglu.
For a while, I couldn't tell if he really thought like this or was acting, Huan Ci was slightly stunned and said: "This son must have thought about it." ”
As soon as the words fell, a middle-aged man who didn't know him touched his beard and said, "I've only heard the princess say all the time, is it that the princess also has the final say at home on weekdays?" ”
This is a direct irony. Huan Ci could see from his clothes that he was a second-grade official, and he thought that he was from the capital, but he didn't know which camp he was from.
She just wanted to say a few words in return, but she heard Fu Shen say on the side: "Weichen is grateful for Your Majesty's kindness, but it's not early now, and I have to hurry today, so I'll retire." ”
"Okay." Zong Zhenglu said lightly.
The second-grade master laughed a few times: "Isn't the master of the horse ashamed?" Even if you are a little low in front of the princess on weekdays, will we still laugh at you? ”
Huan Ci frowned, only saying that he was sick, and it was not good to use other words to mock Fu Shen in front of Zong Zhenglu, so he could only say these rumors.
"It's a pity that the princess has to take care of a father who is ignorant of the world, and she has to take care of a husband who is not a good person." The official continued.
Huan Ci was angry when she heard this, how could she be annoyed that her father was even involved in this person's words.
Because of his father's previous rebellion, it is often a mixed reputation when he is mentioned now, but no one has ever said these words in front of her. Huan Ci endured it, but after all, he didn't have a seizure. She doesn't quarrel, and it won't be good to offend them now, so why bother. She just pretended not to hear it, and said goodbye to Zongzheng Law with a smile.
Fu Shen only glanced at him faintly, the official didn't expect him to be so imposing now, he was frightened by him for a while, he was stunned in place, and after a while, he felt that he had lost face, and he wanted to stare back It was the man who had already looked away.
Zong Zhenglu has always been indifferent to the two, and when they say goodbye, they only have a light smile, so that people can't see their joy and anger.
After leaving the door of the Governor's Mansion, Huan hurriedly looked at Fu Shen. He must have been very aggrieved in it, especially those people who were a concubine, but I was afraid that they were deliberately mocking him for living on women now.
No one in the capital knows what happened to their Fu Mansion, and now Fu Wei is locked up in prison, but I am afraid that Fu Shen will not have good fruit to eat when he returns to Bingzhou.
"Are you alright?" Huan Ci took his hand and asked.
Fu Shen touched her head and said apologetically: "Ah Ci, I'm sorry, I wronged you." ”
"What does a family say about two families." Huan Ci clenched his fingers. Isn't it? Now except for her uncle, she only has one relative, Fu Shen, and although Fu Shen has several relatives, he is afraid and doesn't want to recognize him, but now they are dependent on each other.
"Let's go, let's go back to Bingzhou and live a good life." She took the man by the hand and got into the carriage.
The wheels rolled north, planning to meet the rest of the people at the gates of the city. Halfway down the road, the carriage was suddenly stopped.
Huan Ci lifted the curtain and saw that the person who came turned out to be Li Jinxiu's wife Qiao Jing. Huan Ci hadn't seen her for a long time, and I didn't expect her to come back, so I was a little surprised.
"Sister." Qiao Jing saw her come down and took her hand, "I heard that you are leaving, I came to say goodbye to you." ”
"Thank you for keeping me in mind." Huan Ci stepped forward and hugged her.
Qiao Jing lost her mind for a moment, and after turning around, she took out a letter from her arms and handed a purse to Huan Ci: "I gave you this purse, and I will definitely go back to Bingzhou to see you when I have to be free." This letter was written to me by my father, who learned that the academy was going to be reopened in Bingzhou, and wanted to resign and teach there, but he didn't know where to find you, so he wrote this letter to me and forwarded it. ”
Huan Ci was overjoyed, but also a little puzzled. Qiao Jing's father is the governor of Shi, and he would resign because he wanted to be a husband, and the most rare thing is that Qiao Jing did not object.
