The strange woman who plays power: the fourth lady who plays power

Lu Qiuhong asked, "Mother-in-law, are you old this year?"

The old woman said with a smile on her face, "I'm sixty, but I'm still in good health. Have you seen it? The flowers and grass in the garden outside are planted by me and the old man."

Fu Yaxuan said: "There are many beautiful flowers, and some are rare herbs."

The old man smiled and said: "Girl, you are really a person who knows the goods, I will take you to see the treasures I planted."

So, Fu Yaxuan and the others followed the old man and the old woman to admire flowers and plants in the yard, chatting about the world.

Until the sun was in the west, Uncle Cheng, the boatman, returned home from work. He was pleasantly surprised when he saw guests at home, but when he saw the four people clearly, he was more surprised than happy.

He stood blankly at the door, watching four young people sitting in a row with two people, chatting, and the brilliant rays of the setting sun fell behind them. What a beautiful scenery it was?

Finally, Fu Yaxuan found Uncle Cheng, so he went up to meet him and said with a smile, "Are you back?"

Uncle Cheng asked without answering, "Why are you here?"

Fu Yaxuan smiled and said: "Uncle, don't mind, I've heard the story you told, so I want to come and see Second Young Master Cheng."

Uncle Cheng looked at Fu Yaxuan suspiciously, half believing her words.

It's good to be defensive.Otherwise, there will be many liars in this world.

Fu Yaxuan went on to say: "We are from the capital, we know that the emperor cherishes talents, so we want to encourage the second son of Cheng to take the exam in Beijing."

Hearing what she said, Uncle Cheng was relieved, and his eyes lit up, feeling that his brother had met a nobleman, he said earnestly: "Girl, my brother is still in a private school, I will take you there."

"That's my favor."

After Fu Yaxuan and the others bid farewell to the old man and the old lady, they followed Uncle Cheng on another country road.

……

In the private school, Fu Yaxuan finally saw the scholar named Cheng Yulin, just as she had imagined, white clothes better than snow, loyal to deceive the sun, walking with Confucian style, talking and laughing to make spring.

After school, the students sang the school song and went back one after another. Cheng Yulin walked in the classroom and took care of the rest of the work.

Fu Yaxuan, Cui Moyao, Lu Qiuhong and Han Gao walked in slowly, stood quietly at the door, and looked at him quietly.

He also saw them, and greeted them with a humble smile: "Do you have anything to do?"

"I came here specially to find you." Fu Yaxuan said calmly.

From her calm expression, Cheng Yulin seemed to sense something, invited them into the classroom and served tea to them respectively.

Fu Yaxuan showed the badge he carried with him, and said with a smile: "I am the imperial envoy of the imperial court. I was ordered by the emperor to go to various places to inspect the people's conditions. I happened to be here a few days ago."

Cheng Yulin was taken aback, and asked, "My lord, have I done nothing wrong?"

His simple and honest, Fu Yaxuan couldn't help but "puchi" smile, said: "Of course not. I'm not so bad, I go to whoever, whoever commits a crime, that's bad, I'm not bad."

Cheng Yulin couldn't help scratching his head and laughing foolishly.

Fu Yaxuan took a sip of tea, and the atmosphere gradually became more easygoing. She smiled and said, "We have traveled all the way these days, and we have really realized the famous saying: It is better to travel thousands of miles than to read thousands of books."

"It seems that everyone has benefited a lot." Cheng Yulin's eyes were innocent and clear when he smiled.

Such a person is like spring water gushing out of a spring, clean and clear from the inside to the outside, and his whole mind can be seen at a glance.

Fu Yaxuan also finally understood why Miss Hu fell in love with this poor scholar. Although he was an incomprehensible nerd, he had a pure and lovely side.

"This Meifeng Town is really beautiful and unique. It's such a beautiful place with beautiful mountains and rivers. People are reluctant to leave once they come."

"Your Excellency, just stay here for a few more days, so that I have the opportunity to take you around for fun." Cheng Yulin said sincerely.

"We are now living in the Hu Mansion in the west of the city." Fu Yaxuan's crisp voice sounded slowly.

As soon as these words came out, Cheng Yulin's face darkened suddenly, the pain was undisguised, and the loneliness was beyond description, and he fell into his own sadness.

"Master Cheng, are you okay?" Fu Yaxuan looked at him with concern.

Cheng Yulin just came back to his senses, forced a smile and said, "I'm fine."

"That's good." Fu Yaxuan gave him a bright smile, and then said: "Last night, Miss Hu entrusted me with a dream."

As she spoke, she deliberately paused.

The moment he heard the word "Miss Hu", Cheng Yulin's smile was fixed on his face, and then the smile gradually turned to sadness, his lips trembled, he covered his face with his hands, held back the tears, and tried hard Calm down, he finally couldn't help it anymore, covered his face, and cried bitterly.

Fu Yaxuan handed him a white handkerchief, he took the handkerchief and wiped away his tears, kept calm, and smiled a little: "I'm sorry, I lost my composure."

"It's okay, I understand." Fu Yaxuan nodded towards him.

"Go on."

Fu Yaxuan looked at him, hesitated for a moment, and finally spoke: "I just said that Miss Hu entrusted me with a dream, she said that she died of wrongdoing, and Xiao Yuandong murdered her."

Hearing this, Cheng Yulin pondered for a moment, moved his lips, hesitated to speak, but finally said nothing.

Fu Yaxuan kept paying attention to the expression on his face, and asked softly: "Don't you want to avenge her?"

Cheng Yulin suddenly grabbed Fu Yaxuan's shoulders, knelt down on the ground, and said in a hoarse voice: "I want to see her, I just want to hear her, my lord..."

He cried, and when he said the last word, his voice fell apart.

Fu Yaxuan was stunned for a moment, feeling sad in his heart, what kind of relationship is it that can make a man cry like this?

Maybe she made a mistake today, she really shouldn't have mentioned this name to him, it was tantamount to uncovering his newly healed scar, she suddenly felt so cruel.

"Young master Cheng, you can't come back to life after death, so please mourn." Fu Yaxuan comforted softly.

He wiped away his tears, nodded, and said with a sob: "I'm sorry, I lost my temper again."

He cried sadly, which was expected by Fu Yaxuan, but it seemed unreasonable, so she asked, "Have you paid homage to Miss Hu recently?"

Cheng Yulin raised his misty tearful eyes, and said with a slightly surprised expression: "I will go there every few days, because I am afraid that she will be lonely down there alone, and I always want to talk to her, but sometimes when I meet Hu Uncle and Aunt Hu didn’t go there, because Uncle Hu and Aunt Hu didn’t like to see me. I’m planning to go tomorrow.”

Fu Yaxuan had more doubts in his heart, and asked again: "When was the last time you went?"

"It was five days ago. It just rained on the mountain that day. Every time it rains, I always think of her." Even in front of strangers, Cheng Yulin did not hide his deep affection for Hu Yufei.
