Di Daughter's Interpretation

Chapter 13

In the Xuanmao Hall of the Marquis of Lu'an, in the middle of the house is a black rosewood three-screened arhat bed inlaid with black and white marble. Mrs. Tai rests her head on the back of the bed and rests her eyes with her eyes closed.Mrs. Lu stood by carefully, not daring to say a word.

"Why are you panicking?" Mrs. Tai didn't even open her eyes, she said slowly, "You are my daughter-in-law who Ming Media is marrying, and you have presided over Hou Fuzhong for 16 years, so you panicked about such an idea, you really can't hold your breath."

"How long have I lived, what can I go through, and what is the severity? I have to ask my mother to teach me more." Mrs. Lu said with a smile, while her eyes were red, "It's fine if the Marquis just raised her in another courtyard." But she also said that she would bring back her daughter, saying..."

Mrs. Tai slowly opened her eyes, and asked, "What did he say?" Mrs. Lu held back her tears, "He said, that is his eldest daughter, so I mean, she's just the second daughter." Thinking of Fu Shen insisting on Mrs. Lu was extremely troubled to take back Tan Yingsheng's daughter. The identity of the eldest daughter could not be easily given away.

Mrs. Tai closed her eyes again and didn't speak for a while.Mrs. Lu wiped her tears silently, not daring to cry out loud.There were only two mother-in-law and daughter-in-law in the room, and there was no sound at this time. On the large desk by the window, there was a double-eared and three-legged Longquan celadon celadon incense burner, quietly exhaling a long cigarette.

After a long time, Madam Tai closed her eyes and asked, "What's the name of that child?" Madam Lu felt resentful, but she couldn't say anything more, she just replied respectfully, "Master Hou said that the child's name is Jie Yu."

The room fell silent again.Mrs. Lu didn't know what her mother-in-law was going to do, and guessed anxiously: Could it be that Mrs. Tai also wants to recognize the girl named Xie Yu?Speaking of which, she is indeed the eldest granddaughter, but Mrs. Tai has always disliked Tan Ying, so why would she want to recognize her granddaughter?

"After all, she is the flesh and blood of the Fu family. She cannot be allowed to wander outside." Mrs. Tai finally made a decision, "Recognize it no matter which aunt's name is. You come forward and find a good family for her, and I will make up for her with a dowry." , the Fu family can be considered worthy of her." Isn't the girl's family just trying to wear a generous dowry and marry a good husband's family, and An An will live the rest of her life.

Mrs. Tai was originally the daughter of the Duke of Jin's mansion, and she was really a red makeup when she got married. The interest generated in the past few decades must be even more impressive.Thinking that Madam Tai's private house would be taken away, Madam Lu felt very unhappy.After thinking about it, the name is more important, it's good to recognize a concubine girl, it doesn't hinder the understanding.Busy and respectful, he agreed, "Yes, it's my mother who is thoughtful."

Mrs. Tai smiled complacently, put the matter aside, and asked about family affairs and human relations.She specifically mentioned, "The grand lady of Jingning Hou's Mansion will celebrate her birthday in the future. Are the birthday gifts ready?" Mrs. Lu hurriedly replied, "It's all ready." A pair, a pair of flowery and rich glass fan screens..." Mrs. Tai smiled and praised, "This gift is very well prepared and very decent."

Fu Jieyi is already 16 years old, and he hasn't named anyone yet.A few days ago at the flower viewing party in the British government, Mrs. Jingning Hou took Fu Jieyi to be affectionate and praised her, and privately revealed to Mrs. Lu that she was worrying about the marriage of Yue Ting, the eldest son of the Yue family. Mrs. Lu naturally understood what she meant, and was quite willing in her heart.

There is nothing to say about the disciples, family style, and power of the Jingning Hou Mansion; Yue Ting is young and promising, and now he is a third-rank commander, and he will definitely have a bright future in the future; there is only one thing that is not satisfactory: Yue Ting is the second son , could not inherit the title.The eldest daughter who is like a sweetheart, Mrs. Lu was reluctant to marry her second son, and she discussed it with Fu Shen. What does it matter to you!" Mrs. Lu is right when she thinks about it, as long as a man is capable, he can earn fame and fortune.Since then, Mrs. Lu has been very concerned about this marriage, and the birthday gift of Mrs. Jingning Houfu is very grand.

"The day after tomorrow, bring Jieyi, Jieyou, Brother Mu's daughter-in-law, and Brother Ji's daughter-in-law, and leave Brother Tao's daughter-in-law and Brother Run's daughter-in-law to look after the house." Mrs. Tai ordered.Mrs. Lu hurriedly replied, "Yes!" Seeing that Mrs. Tai had no other orders, she said a few more gossips before leaving.

Fu Shen has nineteen sons, except Mrs. Lu's own son, Fu Zihao, the rest are all concubines.The most outstanding eldest son of the concubine, Fu Zimu, was born of the maid who served Fu Shen since he was a child. Although he came from a humble background, he was shrewd and capable. He followed Fu Shen to guard the border since he was 12 years old. Now he is 25 years old and has already become Fu Shen. Fu Ziji, Fu Zitao, and Fu Zirun are all good concubines, a few years younger than Fu Zimu, and all in their early twenties. They all married wives and started families.

"The day after tomorrow I will bring Jieyou and your sister-in-law and second sister-in-law." After returning to the room, Mrs. Lu told Xieyi a little sullenly.She really didn't want to worry about this concubine, as well as Fu Zimu, Fu Ziji and other fledgling concubines.

Fu Jie felt that his mother seemed unhappy, so he walked over to his side to beat her back and shoulders considerately, "Mother, the more you practice your calligraphy, the better, I'll show you tomorrow." Mrs. Lu smiled, "That would be great. It's just that your younger brother is not in good health, so don't tire him out." My precious daughter knows how to be filial to her mother, and also knows how to love her younger brother, but she is a good girl who is hard to find even with a lantern. What is that girl called Xie Yu, Where can it compare?Forget it, I don't want her anymore, and I recognize that she is also a concubine, so there is nothing to worry about.Mrs. Lu spoke conciliatoryly and smilingly.

Dangyang Road.

An Rushao held the hand of the beautiful little girl, and the two ran in together, "Sister, sister, let me tell Xiaobai that the chicken noodles cooked by my sister are delicious!" Phase, very cute.Xie Yu squatted down, smiled and Mimi promised him, "Sister will cook for you." An Rushao and the pretty girl named Xiao Bai cheered at the same time, and then ran out to play hand in hand.

"Let the people in the kitchen do it." Zhang Yu saw that Yuzhen went to the kitchen in a hurry, trying to dissuade her, how could such a delicate girl like her go to a place like the kitchen. "Ru Shao has a big mouth. He can eat it if I cooked it." Xie Yu smiled and shook his head. It's not good to have a smart child in the family. It's not easy to deceive him.

"Hey, I also like chicken noodles." Jianyu went to the kitchen anyway, and Zhang Xi called out behind her.Xie Yu smiled and turned around, "Hey, I'll cook an extra bowl for you."

Lunch is explained and arranged in the side room.Zhang Yu, Jie Yu, and An Rushao ate at the same table, and the four children gathered at the low table outside. The children ate and grabbed food, and the four children ate very happily. An Rushao only took two mouthfuls of rice, and then he became absent-minded. , looking outside frequently. "Want to be with them?" Xie Yu asked him thoughtfully.An Rushao rolled his eyes, and admitted honestly, "Yes."

Xie Yu smiled, stood up and carried him off the chair, "Go." An Rushao agreed loudly and ran out.Cai Lu, who was standing on the sidelines, winked at the two little girls beside her, and the two girls hurriedly followed her out to serve her.The outside room turned into five children scrambling to eat, and the scene was quite spectacular.

Zhang Yu ate three big bowls of noodles, "It's delicious!" Xie Yu looked at his younger brother in the outer room, and at the bearded beard beside him, alas, each of them was so delicious that he couldn't afford to feed them.

"It was the same way when I was in Xinghua Hutong. My brother would be very happy to have neighbors with children who were around the same age playing and eating together." As Xie Yu spoke, his mood suddenly became a little depressed.The family used to be close and friendly, but now the father is still in prison, the mother was hijacked by a paranoid, and he took his younger brother with him, and the family was divided into three parts.

There are many ways to rescue Tan Ying.It's just that Fu Shen's paranoia of "I won't let you go even if I die!" is very difficult to deal with.It is conceivable that no matter whether Tan Ying is rescued or not, Fu Shen will definitely be entangled with his mother and daughter in the future.Alas, at the age of 16, another father suddenly appeared, just thinking about it gives me a headache.

Zhang Yu saw it, guessed that she was worried about her parents, and tried to say something comforting, but couldn't think of anything good or useful, "Hey, that, Ru Shao likes to play with children, or, Buy a few more clever ones to play with him."

Xie Yu looked at him suspiciously.How many more children do you want to buy?Is the bearded man also such a person who loves buying and selling people?Zhang Yu seemed to know what she was thinking, and hurriedly said, "Natural disasters and man-made disasters have continued this year, and many ordinary people can't live on. They sell their children. We really bought a few children, but we gave them a way to survive."

"Is it so miserable?" Xie Yu was taken aback.The previous Xie Yu was a gentle and demure woman who lived in a deep boudoir, and she didn't know much about current affairs.Although I came all the way from Xijing to the capital after crossing, but most of the time it was the bearded man who was planning the itinerary. He sat in the carriage and didn't see much ugly reality.

"It's really miserable." Zhang Yu said in a low voice, "There are often people who starve to death, and I can't bear to see them." The two were silent for a while, and Zhang Yu added, "My brothers, all of them are He became a bandit because he couldn’t survive anymore.” Xie Yu glanced at him with a half-smile, he became a bandit only when he couldn’t survive, this rich young master is tired of living a comfortable life, so he plays as a bandit.

"I'm not playing." Zhang Yu had a good understanding with her, "I really can't see the past, the government is corrupt, corruption is rampant, I am a bandit, and I am doing justice for the sky!" Xie Yu smiled slightly, the bearded man really had a few He is old-fashioned and warm-hearted, and somewhat chivalrous.Anyway, his father is very powerful, no matter how nonsense he is, someone will take care of him.

Zhang Yu said softly, "He, I mean my father, I'm afraid he's going to fight." Xie Yu's body shook, "War?" War is always dangerous.

Zhang Yu looked solemn, "Shaanxi, Zhejiang, Shandong, Ningxia, Fujian, several provinces are plagued by banditry, the troubles are getting worse and worse, not only occupying the mountains as king, but also attacking the state capital! The veteran generals in the court are all in the hands of the bandits." It was really impossible, and important officials like Yue Pei had to go out in person.

It turns out that the world I live in is close to chaos!Jieyu was confused for a while.The two sat silently facing each other, each speechless.

"Well, the rice you cooked is really delicious. How about you cook some more and I'll send it to my uncle?" Zhang Yu broke the silence and said.It is said that An Zan's lawsuit has something to do with Yang Shoufu, and I am afraid that it will take some trouble. Right now, he can only find a way to make him live more comfortably in prison.

"Okay." Xie Yu agreed, and sure enough, he made some of An Zan's favorite side dishes. Zhang Yu hurried to Dali Temple and came back with a smile on his face, "Uncle just tasted it and knew that it was Xie Yu made it, finished eating it all! The doctor said, Uncle’s health has improved, and there is no serious problem." A while ago, An Zan ate very little, and these days he finally recovered slowly.As long as a person can eat with a good appetite, he is probably fine.

The smile of the bearded man warms the heart, and the smile of Xie Yu said, "It's so good." Compared with the cruelty of the Imperial Prison, Dali Temple Prison is not too dark. It's safe for now.

But in fact, it's not.After Zhang Yu left Dali Temple Prison, Fu Shen came.He glared at An Zan, wishing to tear him apart inch by inch.
