Volume 1 Chapter 184 Life is a rare gathering
Thirty-five years to the fullest
A rainy spring,
This year is still like last year.
The jade calendar inspection came to know Xiaoman,
and the gloom hinders the silkworm's sleep for a long time.
Beijing, Nancheng Tianshuier Hutong.
Early in the morning, Feng Xiaozhu took the fresh mulberry leaves that people bought on the street and fed them in the silkworm house.
In fact, with the current identity of the Feng family, there is naturally no need to do these things.
But there was nothing to do, Feng Xiaozhu was tired of reading, so he also bought one or two paper silkworms and raised them in a side house in the backyard.
It's not so much that she is trying to raise silkworms, but that she treats these silkworm babies as pets.
There are few trees in the city of Beijing, let alone mulberry trees.
These mulberry leaves are specially picked from the mountain mulberry trees in the northern or western suburbs of Beijing, and they are rushed to the city early in the morning to sell them for a small amount of money to supplement the family.
When all the mulberry leaves were cast, Feng Xiaozhu looked bored for a while and walked out of the house.
Today, Fengfang is resting at home, and after seeing his daughter, he smiled and said: "Peace, my father is resting today, and I will take you out for a while, you haven't been out for a long time, just buy some rouge gouache from your daughter's house." ”
Feng Xiaozhu shook his head and said, "Daddy, I don't want to go out!" ”
Feng Fang's face that was still smiling just now suddenly froze.
This concubine of her own family, hey......
Fengfang had a wife and a concubine in his early years, but only the concubine gave birth to a daughter for him.
So although Feng Xiaozhu is a concubine, he has always cherished this daughter.
Feng Xiaozhu has been very sensible since he was a child, not only proficient in piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, but also better at reading than men.
Therefore, Fengfang also deliberately gave his daughter the small word peace.
It's amazing that the daughter of the average person has a name, who has ever seen a woman with words?
But the Feng family has it, and even Fengfang is afraid that his daughter will suffer, so he has put her feet on her since she was a child.
Other female dolls either learn needlework when they are young, or they are grabbed and bound by their mothers-in-law.
The concubine of the Feng family was taught to read by Fengfang herself, and her knowledge made many talents ashamed on the spot.
However, as his daughter grew older, distress was born.
The Feng family has an appointment with Xu Kui, the ancestor of the Xu family, and they have been married for generations.
But in this generation, the Feng family only has this pearl in the palm of the hand, and Fengfang is reluctant to marry her far away, so he proposed to recruit a son-in-law to the door, Fengfang's early career was smooth sailing, with his status at the time, although he couldn't ask for Xu Song's son, but it was more than enough for Xu Dai's son to be the son-in-law.
Things are indeed as Fengfang thought, Xu Luan was finalized by the two families as a candidate.
Who knew that Fengfang's career was bumpy after that, and he had not been out of office for more than ten years, and Xu Song actually became a high-ranking official of the third grade.
This caused the humiliation of Fengfang's detour to Hailing last time.
Later, Feng Xiaozhu came to the capital.
Fengfang felt that he no longer needed to look at the face of the Xu family as the identity of Shaoqing of Taifu Temple, so he wanted to marry his daughter to Qin Que, the son of the first assistant Qin Yan, as a concubine.
Originally, both sides had negotiated, but who knew that this matter was leaked out somehow, and the news that Feng Xiaozhu was Tianzu also leaked the rumors, which made Qin Que not only regret it now, but also blame him.
In this way, Feng Xiaozhu's reputation is completely ruined in the circle of high-ranking officials in the capital.
Fengfang wanted to help her find a husband several times, but when people heard that it was the concubine of the Shaoqing family of Taifu Temple, they all shook their heads and refused.
At this time, Xu Dai's letter arrived.
Xu Dai reiterated the marriage contract between the two families in the letter, and said that Feng Xiaozhu and Xu Luan would get married as soon as possible.
Even the Xu family said that they could send Xu Luan to the capital.
Feng Fang sneered on the spot, this Xu Dai is really interesting, he went to the pole to beg, his father and son sneered and pretended.
Now that he is a dignified servant of the temple, the other party has changed his mind.
Fengfang wanted to humiliate the Xu family on the spot.
But when I thought of my daughter's current situation in the capital, I was a little undecided.
So he hastily sent the Xu family away, and the matter was hung up again.
Just as Feng Fang and his daughter were having breakfast, there was a knock on the door.
After a while, the Feng family reported at the door of the inner courtyard, saying that Bo Yiyong, the master of the Taifu Temple, had learned from his subordinates to hand over the letter.
Easy to use is Fengfang's deliberately wooed subordinate in the Taifu Temple, this person's official position is not high, but in the court in the same year, well-informed, has always been one of the sources of Fengfang's grasp of the trend of the imperial court.
After a while, Feng Fang read the letter with the letter in his hand.
Unexpectedly, he laughed after looking at it for a while: "This Xu Dai is really blinded by eating lard, and he dares to hook up with the people in the palace behind his eldest brother's back." ”
Feng Xiaozhu, who was eating on the side, heard the news of the Xu family, and immediately slowed down his chewing speed and listened attentively.
The news of easy learning came from the Taifu Temple in Nanjing, which has horses in various places, and the officials of the Taifu Temple in various places have naturally become the source of information for this deserted yamen.
Although the situation in Hailing County was deliberately suppressed by Zhang Jingxian, there were so many smart people, and the news had already reached Beijing at this time.
Here, when Fengfang saw that Yiyong Xuexin said that a young man named Xu He of the Xu family came forward to calm the matter, he turned his head in surprise and asked his daughter: "Is this Xu He the young man I saw in the teahouse that day, I remember that it seems to be called Xu He!" ”
Feng Xiaozhu pursed his lips and did not speak.
He lived in Xu He's house for so long, Xu Song and Feng Xiaozhu didn't tell Fengfang.
Feng Fang saw that his daughter was silent, so he smiled and said, "You, you're still shy." ”
"At that time, my father felt that this young man named Xu He was more than a star and a half stronger than that Xu Luan, and now it seems that my father's vision is still good!" Fengfang said proudly.
While reading the letter, Feng Fang told his daughter about the salt farm.
Feng Xiaozhu didn't show anything on his face, but he seemed to be being pulled hard in his heart.
This Xu He goes to risk every time.
People are afraid of getting involved in these dangerous things.
He's good, as if he's not afraid, he goes wherever he's in danger, and he's really in a hurry to die.
Feng Fang sighed while watching: "This Xu He is really a talent, but unfortunately he is only a child, but it is said that now the county test and the government test have won the case, and a show will not be able to run away in the future." ”
"Ping'an, you said it would be nice if this Xu He could be your husband, that Xu Luan, hum!"
However, in the next second, Feng Fang shook his head and said: "It's not proper, this matter has to be seen for the time being, after all, the Xu family has caused such a big incident, and the reaction of the palace and the cabinet is not known, we can't push our daughter into the fire pit of the Xu family!" Right, peace! ”
At this time, Feng Xiaozhu, who was eating on the side, had a red face to the root of her ears, and she shook her father's hand holding the letter and said, "How can a father say these things in front of his daughter, ...... father"
This [Dad] shouted Fengfang's bones lightly, and he pretended to glare at his daughter: "You, you are a life that doesn't worry!" ”
Feng Xiaozhu sighed softly in his heart, and thought of the song that the young man standing on the shore sang when he left Hailing that day.
"The end of the sky, the corner of the sea, the acquaintance is half scattered. Life is rare for reunions, but there are many separations. ”
