The First Great Ancestor of the Five Dynasties

Chapter 238 Between the Sisters
Fu Jinhuan entered the room and was shocked when he saw his sister's blushing cheeks: "Sister, is that disciple disrespectful to you? I'll go find him!"

Fu Jinhuan angrily tried to chase him out of the house with his skirt, but Fu Jinzhan stopped him quickly and repeated what Zhu Xiu had just said to tease Fu.

"You also know that this matter has become a joke to our Fu family. Many people in the court and the public often joke about it. Alas, forget it, just laugh. Anyway, there is no harm to the Fu family. Just treat our family as a common people After tea and dinner, we added some topics for conversation. But I didn’t expect that our Fu family is best known to the world for this kind of thing."

Fu Jinzhan gave a wry smile, but his mind was calm, let alone getting angry.

As the saying goes, no one talks behind anyone's back, and even interesting stories about the royal family are often spread among the people. It doesn't hurt that Fu is laughed at by everyone in the world.

Fu Jinhuan stamped his feet angrily, with a few rosy rosy patches on his cheeks, and said angrily: "Having said that, little thief Zhu Xiu made fun of my Fu family in front of my sister. It's really abominable. He should be dragged down and beaten again!"

Fu Jinzhan said with a smile: "As far as his small body is so weak, he can't stand [-] boards, I'm afraid he will be knocked out with [-] boards."

"Hmph~ It would be better if I lost my life. Let's see if that lousy little thief still dares to make fun of our family!" Fu Jinhuan said angrily.

Fu Jinzhan smiled and said with emotion: "My eldest brother has been married for five years and has three sons, all of whom are children of my sister-in-law. It's no wonder that others would laugh at our family about this kind of thing. Fu's uncles and brothers would never do this. I am worried about my heirs."

Fu Jinhuan said unconvinced: "That's because other people envy our family's long line of heirs and prosperity. Other families are worried about spreading their branches and leaves. What our family is worried about is that we have too many descendants and not enough ancestral property!"

The angry look on Fu Jinhuan's arms was really interesting. The two sisters joked for a while, and Fu Jinhuan laughed and said: "Sister, you don't know yet. Before I left, our sister-in-law just saw the doctor and she is pregnant again! Maybe she will give birth to a baby this time. Little niece! When my eldest brother goes back this time, he should be able to stay at home for a while until his sister-in-law gives birth to the baby before leaving. "

Fu Jinzhan was stunned and said happily: "Great! Have you sent good news to Qizhou for your elder brother?"

"Sent it to me early in the morning. The doctor diagnosed the positive pulse, and my mother sent someone to take the letter to Qizhou."

Fu Jinzhan smiled and said: "When I see my eldest brother, I have to congratulate him. I hope I will give birth to a little niece this time, so that our father can also hold his granddaughter."

The topic of the two sisters quickly shifted to the child, discussing whether the little niece they might see in the future would be more like a sister-in-law or an eldest brother, and what gifts the two aunts should prepare for the child.

Fu Jinhuan hesitated for a moment, then took his sister's hand and whispered softly: "Sister, you and Li Chongxun have really suffered over the years since you were married. Fortunately, the Li family's crimes did not implicate you. Now that the Li family and his son are dead, you and Li Chongxun There is no more family ties and freedom is restored."

Fu Jinzhan laughed at himself: "Although the reputation of a widow is not good, after all, I have no restraints and I can be free. I should be happy."

Fu Jinhuan was heartbroken and said angrily: "Sister, you are not allowed to talk about yourself like that! You are a widow, it's so unpleasant! I know that you and Li Chongxun are only husband and wife, and you have never had children. You are not married to Yunying, a noble lady. There’s no difference!”

Fu Jinzhan's eyes looked a little gloomy, and he said quietly: "She is nothing more than the old girl that others call her."

Fu Jinhuan hugged his sister tightly and said viciously: "Whoever dares to slander my sister, I will tear his mouth to pieces!"

Fu Jinzhan caressed his sister's delicate and smooth cheek, and said with a relieved smile: "Don't worry, I won't take the past to heart. I, Fu Jinzhan, don't live for others, and I won't be burdened by rumors! "

Fu Jinhuan smiled and said: "This is the eldest sister I admire! From now on, Fu Jinzhan is just Fu Jinzhan, you should live for yourself!"

The two women looked at each other and smiled, with tears shining in their eyes.

Fu Jinzhan suddenly patted his sister's forehead lightly, pretending to be serious and said: "Who taught you these words? Is it your father?"

Fu Jinhuan covered his forehead and pouted aggrievedly: "That's not true! It's what I think in my heart, and it's all true."

Fu Jinzhan suppressed a smile and saw the twinkle in his sister's eyes.

Fu Jinhuan couldn't hold himself any longer, stamped his feet and said angrily: "Okay! I know I can't hide it from you! It was my father's special instruction before I left. In fact, my father always felt that he had wronged you by asking you to marry Li Chongxun. He feels sorry for you and has been feeling guilty all these years.
This time the Li family's father and son rebelled, and they used you to blackmail dad. You don't know how angry dad was when he received Li Shouzhen's letter, scolding Li Shouzhen for being ungrateful and despicable!
Dad is most worried about you, he is afraid that you will be implicated by the Li family and his son, and he is also afraid that you will be questioned by the court afterwards.

Dad even thought that if the imperial court really wanted to make things difficult for the Fu family over this matter, then our family would..."

Fu Jinhuan was chattering, but suddenly stopped, his big eyes flashed, and he did not dare to continue.

Fu Jinzhan was startled and hurriedly pulled her into the house and said solemnly: "Does father want to follow Li Shouzhen and raise the flag to rebel?"

Fu Jinhuan stuck out his tongue and whispered: "Dad, if the Emperor Liu's son is really in danger, our Fu family will raise the Taining Army soldiers and horses to respond to Li Shouzhen, and attack Kaifeng from east to west! If the army is defeated, we will retreat to Qingzhou. , separatized Jiaodong and became king."

Fu Jinzhan took a breath, but thinking about it carefully, based on her understanding of Fu Yanqing and her father's character, it was indeed possible for him to make a dangerous move.

Although Fu Sisi was old, he still had the power of a tiger. Seeing that the imperial court was about to cut him off, it was impossible for him not to respond.

Moreover, Pinglu Jiedu envoy Luo Yangui had a close relationship with the Fu family. When Liu Zhiyuan invaded Kaifeng and proclaimed himself emperor, Luo Yangui became successful in the Forbidden Army after being recommended by Fu Yanqing, and was reused by Liu Zhiyuan. Luo Yangui was grateful for this , has always regarded himself as a disciple of the Fu family. If the Fu family starts an uprising in Yanzhou, the Qingzhou Pinglu Army will definitely respond.

With this confidence, Fu Yanqing dared to give it a try.

Fu Jinzhan said nervously: "Where did you hear these secrets?"

Fu Jinhuan whispered: "I accidentally overheard Dad and Mr. Jiang talking in the study room."

Fu Jinhuan's eyes dodge. How could Fu Jinzhan not know that this girl was eavesdropping on purpose?

"You are so brave! If any of this information is revealed, our Fu family will be in catastrophe! Dad always dotes on you, but he will never let you be willful. If dad finds out, he will never spare you! Remember, never again There will be a next time!" Fu Jinzhan scolded sternly.

Fu Jinhuan pursed his lips and said pitifully: "Good sister, I know I was wrong and I won't dare to do it again next time."

Fu Jinhuan was naughty and willful, and even dared to tease Fu Yanqing's tiger beard, but he was only afraid of Fu Jinzhan, the eldest sister who was both mother and sister.

Their biological mother died of illness early, and no matter how kind Yang was to them, there was always some distance between them.

In Fu Jinhuan's heart, her eldest sister is the person closest to her.

Fu Jinzhan also had a headache for her. He sighed and said with a wry smile: "Then who persuaded father later?"

Fu Jinhuan tilted his head and thought for a while: "Later, it seems that Guo Wei sent someone to visit my father. My father discussed with that person for most of the day, and then I never heard my father and Mr. Jiang discuss the matter of raising an army again. The man sent by Guo Wei was a thin man. The scribe was wearing a black robe and had a goatee. When I bumped into him, he smiled at me. His eyes were very bright. At first glance, he looked like the evil thief Zhu Xiu, but he didn't look like a good person."

Fu Jinzhan couldn't laugh or cry, and reprimanded: "Don't be rude! That should be Wei Renpu, the magician in black next to Privy Council Guo. Even his father has to address him as Mr. Wei when he sees him. Also, Privy Council Guo is an elder, how can you address him directly?" His name?" Fu Jinhuan pouted and said, "Who made him come up with the idea to help little thief Zhu Xiu propose marriage to my father? He clearly wants to push me into the fire pit. The surnamed Guo is younger than our father, and his official arrogance is getting more and more serious. When he gets older, he thinks that by becoming the Privy Councilor, he can bully me, the Fu family, make random suggestions about marriage, and push all kinds of crooked melons and dates to the Fu family. Hmm~ He thinks he is the emperor."

Fu Jinzhan listened to this girl's endless complaints, and the more she spoke, the more outrageous she became. He slapped her on the buttocks moderately: "Damn girl! Shut up! The more you talk, the more outrageous you become!"

Fu Jinhuan said "Yeah", his face turned red, and he said angrily: "Sister, you are so annoying! No, I will fight you back!"

The two girls laughed and joked for a while, then both fell on the brocade couch.

Fu Jinzhan said with a smile: "Don't be ridiculous, and don't speak ill of Privy Guo behind his back. Privy Guo wants to arrange a marriage between you and Zhu Xiu. His intention is good. If it happens, it will be beneficial to all parties. That's all." , Zhu Xiu is not like ordinary people, his thoughts are elusive, maybe it is because you are destined to be different."

Fu Jinhuan's chest heaved and he gasped, imitating Zhu Xiu's tone and said in surprise: "Sister, have you been kicked in the head by a donkey? Zhu Xiu, the little thief, is not a good thing. If Privy Guo throws it to us, we have to take over?"

After Fu Jinhuan finished speaking, he was so amused that he burst into laughter.

Fu Jinzhan also laughed angrily and feigned anger: "I don't care about you. Zhu Xiu is indeed a rare and talented person in the world. When you see his true face clearly, you will regret it!"

"Haha~ If such a day comes, I will stand on the Emperor's Palace of Wufeng Tower and announce to the people in Kaifeng that I will not marry him but Zhu Xiu!" Fu Jinhuan laughed nonchalantly.

Fu Jinzhan also burst into laughter: "Okay, sister, I'm waiting to see your joke!"

Fu Jinhuan said angrily: "Are you my eldest sister? Why do you keep speaking for little thief Zhu Xiu? Hum~ I can see clearly. You are all bribed by little thief Zhu Xiu and want to push me into the pit of fire! I failed. According to your opinion, I, Fu Jinhuan, and the little thief Zhu Xiu are at odds with each other!"

Fu Jinhuan lay on the couch, raised his two tender lotus root-like arms, clenched his little fists and waved vigorously.

Fu Jinzhan's beautiful eyes turned white. She had learned from a young age how unbelievable her sister's so-called vows and bottom lines were.

Fu Jinhuan hugged his sister sideways, put his head into her shoulder, and said with a smile: "Privilege Guo likes to be a matchmaker so much, why not ask him to help my sister choose a new husband! I heard from my father that he has a nephew named Chai. Rong, I have taken him as my adopted son since I was a child. He is tall and brave, has good martial arts skills, and is good at fighting. He sounds like a perfect match for my sister. How about marrying her to her?"

Fu Jinzhan was so embarrassed that he reached out to cover her mouth: "Damn girl! Chai Rong has a family a long time ago, you can't think of it!"

Fu Jinhuan struggled and laughed loudly: "It seems a little regretful to hear my sister's tone! Then choose Li Chongjin. He is the nephew of Privy Council Guo. He is tall and strong. Dad said that he has the courage that no man can deserve. Wuwu~"

Fu Jinzhan covered her mouth and shouted angrily: "What a stinky girl!"

"Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu

The two sisters fell on the bed and made a fuss. The bed creaked as if it was overwhelmed and shook violently.

Mo Xiang ran into the back room and took a look. She couldn't laugh or cry, for fear that the bed would suddenly collapse.

~~~
Zhu Xiu trotted out of the courtyard, humming an unknown dirty tune from Yingyuan that he had learned from Li Chongjin, and planned to take a nap after dinner.

"Young Envoy!" Yan Ping hurriedly came over from the corridor and said with cupped hands: "The old commander is having dinner in the front hall. Please come over, Young Envoy."

Zhu Xiu curled his lips in disgust. Recently, for some reason, Lao Shi wanted to eat meat every meal, and his taste became extremely greasy. He was reluctant to eat with him.

"What can you say, handsome man?"

Yan Ping smiled and said: "It seems that I want to discuss with the young envoy about welcoming Chai Jieshuai."

Zhu Xiu couldn't help laughing twice.

Yesterday, the Yiting reported that Chai Rong and his party had passed through Pizhou, left Xinping County, and would soon enter Jingzhou.

Originally, Shi Kuangwei was not very interested in Chai Rong's arrival. After all, he had just learned Fu Jinhuan's true purpose of coming to Jingzhou.

Shi Kuangwei blamed Guo Wei in his heart, complaining that he paid attention to Zhu Xiaozi's head without saying hello.

Now Zhu Xiu is still the commander-in-chief of the Zhangyi Army. Guo Wei wants to arrange a marriage between him and Fu Jinhuan. Once it happens, Zhu Xiu may not stay in the Zhangyi Army for long. He will either go to Kaifeng or Yanzhou to join the Fu family.

Shi Kuangwei was wary of this.

Shi Kuangwei often complained about Guo Wei in front of Zhu Xiu, and also had opinions on Chai Rong.

However, after Zhu Xiu hung the map of the world in front of Lao Shi and explained to him the possible changes in the world situation in the future, Lao Shi's complaints against Guo Wei and Chai Rong disappeared without a trace.

Shi Kuangwei was eager to know the exact time of Chai Rong's arrival, and even wanted Zhu Xiu to find a way to invite Guo Wei to Jingzhou to see it in person.

In this regard, Zhu Xiu said there was nothing he could do.

Uncle Guo's current situation in Kaifeng is not easy, and he is afraid that there will be huge trouble waiting for him.

Zhu Xiu did not reveal too many secrets about the future direction of the situation to Lao Shi. After all, even he was not sure whether certain things in the history books would happen.

All he can do is make the most favorable judgment based on the current situation.

"Let's go." Zhu Xiu took Yan Ping to the front hall, intending to laugh at Old Shi.

"By the way, come over in the afternoon, ask Mrs. Fu for a handwritten letter, and then report to Kaifeng in a hurry. The situation in Ma Qing is urgent, I'm afraid I have to wait for help." Zhu Xiu ordered in a deep voice.

Yan Ping's eyes also showed a bit of solemnity, and he whispered: "My subordinates know. There is no need to worry too much about Kaifeng, the young envoy. Ma Qing has outstanding abilities and has seen many sinister and sinister situations. No matter what the situation is, I think I can handle it.”

"Oh, I hope so."
