Chapter 16 Differences between Husband and Wife Section 2 Estrangement
Mrs. Hui dropped the paintbrush in her hand, she was extremely irritable, the prince had left the capital for several months, and she had nothing to do after dealing with the affairs of the house every day, and she was very bored writing and painting all day long. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
Fan Yuncheng has been going to Dali Temple for a while, and she has written several notes asking him to come to the house, but there is no response from the sea, and she is already extremely angry in her heart. That night a few months ago was the happiest night in her life, all she thought about every day and night was Fan Yuncheng, and the heavier she missed, the stronger her thoughts about him.
"Someone!" She let out a shout.
"Ma'am, what's the matter?" the servant outside the door hurried in.
"Send this letter to Dali Temple and hand it over to Lord Fan. Mrs. Hui handed the envelope to him, "Please be sure to reply to a message, Lord Fan." β
"Yes, ma'am. β
The servant hurried to Dali Temple, waited outside the door for a long time, and saw Fan Yuncheng and Yan Fei hurriedly walking out of the temple, and he hurriedly stepped forward to stop Fan Yuncheng.
"Lord Fan, Lord Fan, please stay!"
Fan Yuncheng stopped and looked at him in surprise: "Who are you?"
"Here are the people in Mrs. Hui's house. The servant said with a smile on his face.
"Hmph, people in the palace, what are you looking for me?" Fan Yuncheng said coldly.
"This is what our lady Jia Hui asked me to bring to you. The servant handed the letter to Fan Yuncheng.
"I don't know any Mrs. Hui, please go back. Fan Yuncheng walked forward without looking back.
"Hey, hey, if you don't accept the letter, how can I go back to the errand?" the servant was anxious.
"Believe me to bring it to Master Fan, and you can go back. Yan Fei took the letter in his hand and motioned for him to leave.
Yan Fei caught up with Fan Yuncheng in a few steps: "Big brother, Madame has explained, the people in the prince's mansion can't be offended, what are you afraid of when you give you a letter, just open it and take a look." β
"Brother Yan, ...... you" Fan Yuncheng saw the letter in Yan Fei's hand, and there was really suffering in his heart.
"What?" Yan Fei asked puzzled.
"In the future, I will have less contact with this lady Hui. β
"This Mrs. Hui is the most famous woman in the capital, and the dignitaries are scrambling to please her, you are good, people chase you letters every day, but you don't look at them. Yan Fei thought of his wife's entrustment, this eldest brother dealt with it like this, but he was afraid that Mrs. Na Hui would take revenge for personal gain, and if it really got to that point, it was impossible to remedy anything.
"There are good women in this world waiting for me at home, why do I want to see those things written by vulgar powder?" Fan Yuncheng shook his hand gently, "That's it, Brother Yan, it's better to burn that letter." β
Yan Fei saw Fan Yuncheng, who had been dull for a day, running home like a child at the moment, his heart sank slightly, yes, if there was such a gentle and kind woman waiting for him in his family, he would be like him, desperately rushing home.
Fan Yuncheng can finally let go of those old cases and let himself take a breather, Xiao Ni has already made tea and waited for him, and after he finished drinking tea, he polished the ink on the bookcase for him, and handed him the words he had written. Xiao Ni has been learning words with Fan Yuncheng for more than half a year, Fan Yuncheng likes her very smart, and carefully teaches her to recognize and write every day, and the days go by quickly.
"What is Yu'er doing?" Fan Yuncheng suddenly remembered his youngest son, who had been working hard alone in the study in the past few months, but it was rare to see him like this.
"Young Master Yu is doing his homework. Xiao Nirvana hurriedly replied.
"Today's progress is not small, Xiao Ni, you write more here yourself, I'll go see Yu'er." β
"Yes, sir!"
Fan Yuncheng walked to the door of his youngest son's room, heard Yu'er studying in the room, he smiled slightly, and was about to push the door in, but stopped, he stood at the door and listened for a while, his face suddenly sank, he pushed the door open hard, Fan Yu, who was reading a book, was taken aback, he hurriedly wanted to hide the scroll in his hand, it was too late.
"What book did you read just now?" Fan Yuncheng stretched out his hand, "Take it out." β
Fan Yu's little face became pale, and he didn't dare to contradict his father for a while, so he had to hand the scroll in his hand to his father, Fan Yun took the scroll and opened it to see, his hands trembled with anger, he threw the scroll to the ground hard, and shouted angrily: "I have taught you for a few years for my father, will I teach you to read this "Diamond Sutra"?"
Fan Yu pursed his lips aggrievedly, wanting to defend but didn't dare. Fan Yuncheng was so angry that he was looking for something everywhere.
"Husband, are you looking for a ring ruler?" Ling Xiao stood at the door with a ring ruler in his hand.
"Give me the ruler, and see that I will teach this disobedient child a good lesson today. Fan Yuncheng snatched the ring ruler from his wife's hand and was about to beat Fan Yu.
"I asked Yu'er to read this scripture, if you want to beat me, hit me first. Ling Xiao stepped forward and stood in front of his son.
"What?...... You don't let him read well, but what kind of scriptures do you let him read?" Fan Yuncheng couldn't believe his ears.
"Yes, I made him read the scriptures and told him to memorize them all. β
"Why is this so, Ling Xiao? Why is this so?" Fan Yuncheng raised the ring ruler high, and he couldn't beat it anymore.
"Today's emperor advocates Buddhism, then the Diamond Sutra is the treasure of Zen Buddhism, why not read some scriptures?" Ling Xiao asked.
"Buddhism is at ease in people's hearts, so why bother to talk about those forms and pomp? Good people have their own Buddha nature of good people, Ling Xiao, you understand this truth better than me, why do you want Yu'er to do such a thing?" Fan Yuncheng is really incomprehensible, his wife, who is reasonable and can see everything clearly, why should she be confused in this matter.
"If you want to beat or scold, just scold me. Ling Xiao's eyes were red, she pursed her lips tightly, and looked at her husband stubbornly.
"Alas......" Fan Yuncheng threw the ring ruler on the ground and turned to leave.
"Mother......" Fan Yu hugged Ling Xiao, and tears couldn't help but flow out.
"Yu'er doesn't cry, daddy is angry with her mother, my mother will go to confess her mistake to my father in a while, Yu'er is fine, it's okay......" Ling Xiao took her son in her arms, and there was nowhere to tell her inner suffering, who in this world could understand the pain in her heart?
The little Ni who was standing at the door, since entering the Fan Mansion, was the first time she saw that the two of them were disgusted, she didn't understand why a scripture book made them have a big gap between the husband and wife, and that Fan Yu was even more wronged.
"Yu'er, shall we go to make osmanthus cake with Xiao Ni?" Ling Xiao asked his son softly.
"Okay, Yu'er wants to eat too. After all, Fan Yu was still a child, and he was happy at the mention of eating.
"Today, let's let my sister do it. Ling Xiao turned around and asked Xiao Ni, "Xiao Nirvana, do you remember the first time you made osmanthus cake?"
"I remember, ma'am. "How can little Ni forget? She can remember everything she has done since she entered the house, and she will not forget that delicious pastry.
"Do you know what I've added now?" Ling Xiao asked her.
Xiao Ni shook her head, she didn't know why the pastries she made together were so delicious, and the taste of her own was worse.
"In the future, you will often make the osmanthus cake in the house, and after a long time, you will know what I added. Ling Xiao took the hands of the two of them, "Let's go, let's make something to eat." β
Ling Xiao already understood at this time that the gap between her and Fan Yuncheng had already existed, what could she do to make up for it? She suddenly didn't want to make up for anything, she was too tired these days, she needed to do something to think about, how to deal with it in the future? How could this young boy let him stay by his side with peace of mind?
At this time, outside Wei Rui's mansion, a father and son were waiting outside the door. That father is many years ago in Qiaozhou as an errand catcher Zhang Shan, he received Wei Rui's letter from Qiaozhou, his heart was surprised, the emperor hand-picked Yongzhou Thorn Shi Wei Rui is the Liang Dynasty and the opposition up and down recognized great meritorious heroes, leading the army to fight invincible, invincible, and resourceful, humble and courteous, General Wei's reputation he has long heard, now this Pingbei general and Yongzhou Thorn Shi to see himself, and repeatedly emphasized in the letter to bring his son, although he was uneasy in his heart, but still rushed to Wei Rui's mansion for the first timeγ
The housekeeper Wei Qing walked out of the door of the house, and after a simple hustle, he motioned for Zhang Shan's father and son to follow him to the study.
"Master Wei!" The father and son hurriedly stepped forward to kneel down and salute, Wei Rui rushed forward and hurriedly helped the father and son up.
"Lord Zhang, you must not make this great gift, I want the two of you to come here today because I want to know something. β
"Master Wei, as long as you know it, you must know everything. Zhang Shan, as always, is such a cheerful character, and he will not turn around when he speaks, and he will preach straightforwardly.
"That's great. Master Zhang, you have been on an errand in that Qiaozhou for a long time, and you must be very familiar with Fan Yuncheng. Wei Rui was smiling when he asked, he was worried that Zhang Shan's vigilance was too heavy and he didn't want to tell him too much about Fan Yuncheng, so he only made an understatement when he spoke.
"That's natural, I have known each other since 20 years ago. I don't know what Lord Wei wants to know?" was called to the capital by Wei Rui thousands of miles away, and this honest man really didn't know what trouble this Fan Yuncheng had caused in the capital.
"It's just some old things, I want to know about it, let you bring your son Zhenyue, because he is on an errand in Yongzhou, and I'm not very competent as a Yongzhou assassin, I haven't been to Yongzhou, but I'm just in the capital to point out, I'm afraid that there are many things I don't know about the affairs of the state, and I hope that Zhang Zhutou will tell me in detail about the affairs of the house." Wei Rui said sincerely.
"I don't know...... What do you want to know?" That Zhang Zhenyue is twenty-five or sixteen years old, with a beard on his face, he looks particularly heroic, he has served as a yamen in Yongzhou for only two or three years, because before going to Yongzhou, he knew that the water in Yongzhou officialdom is very deep, and his father Zhang Shan told him not to let others know the father-son relationship between them, between these states, because of the different officials who served as assassins, the atmosphere in this officialdom is also different, like he has been in Qiaozhou for decades, and when he sees Fan Daren, he can say what he wants, and there are things on the surface, that Fan Yuncheng never minds, let alone give himself small shoes to wear in private, although Zhang Yuanzhi of Yongzhou is older, he is Fan Yuncheng's father-in-law, but the officials under Zhang Yuanzhi are not in harmony with each other, some officials rely on their own power, in the Yongzhou territory to make a fortune, do some unsightly deeds, that Zhang Zhenyue since he arrived in Yongzhou to find out about this matter, he also once knocked on the side of the side to Zhang Daren mentioned, but this Zhang Yuanzhi, although he nodded and agreed to deal with it, every time he was like a mud cow into the sea, he no longer listened to the movement.
"Zhang Zhutou, you can tell me about the tragedy of Lord Zhang Yuanzhi's murder first. Wei Rui is most concerned about this matter at this time, although Yongzhou Tongzhi has reported to the emperor, he has also received many incidents from relevant officials in Yongzhou, and most of the words are evasive, and their views on this matter are strikingly similar: encounter a villain!
Wei Rui also tried to find Fan Yuncheng's original recital, and Fan Yuncheng said a lot, he insisted that Lord Zhang Yuanzhi was harmed by people, and Lord Zhang must have known something to encounter such a tragedy. Wei Rui doesn't believe in the indifferent rhetoric, he must find a breakthrough to find out the matter thoroughly.
"On the second day after Lord Fan Yuncheng arrived in Yongzhou, Lord Zhang Yuanzhi was tragically destroyed, and there was a lot of discussion in the government, saying that this matter was inseparable from Lord Fan...... In Zhenyue's view, it is not possible to do this big case in a day, and it must be done after everyone knows a lot about the inside and outside of Lord Zhang's mansion before he can start committing the crime. Thinking that Lord Fan, who came all the way from Qiaozhou, before he could find out the situation, he started to harm people, which is really unacceptable, and besides, Fan Yuncheng has a lot of respect for Lord Zhang, and his father knew Lord Fan very well when he was in Qiaozhou, and he was very concerned about his father-in-law, if he suddenly arrived in Yongzhou and had murderous intent, it was unacceptable. Zhang Zhenyue is also telling the truth.
"Then what do you think is wrong with this case?"
"Master Wei...... If you say it below, the adults won't blame the villain, right?" Zhang Zhenyue hesitated a little, and didn't dare to say it for a while.
"Do you know why you are asked to come to my house to tell me about it? What is said in my house will never be known to outsiders, so rest assured. Wei Rui comforted them.
"Master Wei, then I'll tell you the truth, before Master Zhang's accident, he had been restless for more than ten days, and he often lost three and four, and his preface didn't match his words...... "Zhang Zhenyue thought of those days, and his heart was very sad.
"Oh, why is that Lord Zhang like this?" Wei Rui was also very puzzled.
"I thought about it carefully afterwards, and the day when Lord Zhang began to feel restless was the day when the prince's outer chamber Mrs. Hui arrived in Yongzhou. β
"Mrs. Hui, the prince's outer room?" Wei Rui never inquired about Xiao Hong, the sixth prince, and he never knew about him and a lady in the outer room.
According to outsiders, if you want to enter Beijing to be a Beijing official, or if you want to do a good job in the capital, this Mrs. Hui must go to the point. Zhang Shan had also heard about it a long time ago, and he couldn't help but say it at this time.
"Lord Wei, this thing is strange here, since Mrs. Na Hui came to Deyongzhou, Lord Zhang has never gone to see her, Mrs. Na Hui has written several times urging Lord Zhang to go to see her, and that Lord Zhang has always refused to see her. "Zhang Zhenyue is also very strange, Mr. Zhang, who has a very good temper on weekdays, has changed his personality since he heard that this Mrs. Hui came to Yongzhou to enjoy the flowers.
"Is this really the case?" Wei Rui's heart sank, if the matter was really as their father and son said, then the death of Zhang Yuanzhi had a lot to do with this Mrs. Hui.
"What makes the little one even more strange is that Mrs. Zhang's family has just suffered a tragedy, and Mrs. Nahui set off for Beijing, which is really strange......"
"You mean, Fan Yuncheng arrived in Yongzhou on the first day, and Mrs. Hui left Yongzhou the next day?" Wei Rui was confused at this time.
"Exactly. β
"That Fan Yuncheng...... Have you seen Master Zhang?"
According to my understanding, on the first day that Fan Yuncheng arrived in Deyongzhou, he went to Lord Zhang's house, and the two talked happily...... It's just that on the second day, the yin and yang are separated. Zhang Zhenyue remembered Fan Yuncheng's grief when he learned the bad news, and his heart was also sad.
"Zhang Zhutou, you ...... How do you know so clearly?" asked Wei Rui in a low voice.
"After Mr. Zhang's accident, most of the officials in the government went to inspect the scene with Mr. Fan and his wife, and the younger ones were also on the spot, so they knew more about it. β
"The two of them?" Wei Rui suddenly remembered the strange woman who saved his life, "What did you say, but Lord Zhang Yuanzhi's only beloved daughter?"
"Exactly ......"
"She has experienced such a catastrophe in the death of her parents, and she can still go to the scene so calmly?" Wei Rui had doubts in his heart, so it seemed that Zhang Yuanzhi's case was complicated, and it was definitely not such a simple matter as being killed by gangsters.
Zhang Shan's father and son saw Wei Rui frowning, and their hearts were also at a loss, and they didn't know how to continue.
In this way, Fan Yuncheng and his wife will definitely not be able to get out of it. After careful inquiry, Wei Rui had more doubts in his heart, and he was afraid that the black hand behind the scenes would not be easily found.
