MTL - Feng Xing-Chapter 3
There is a row of houses behind the Sun Mansion, and most of the people who live here are servants of the Sun Mansion.
Fang Fengsheng's companion, Wang Er's family lives here. Because Fang Fengsheng is losing face in the mansion now, she said she was going to see the accompanying room, but the woman guarding the back door didn't dare to stop her, so she let her go.
"Uncle Yu."
Uncle Yu is the housekeeper of the Fang family. He is in his forties, tall and tall, and taciturn. It seems that he was injured in his early years, his left leg is somewhat disabled, and he walks with a limp. He has been with Fang Yan for a long time. Anyway, when Fang Fengsheng was very young, he was by Fang Yan's side.
Fang Yan's accident this time also made him suffer a lot, with many silver threads on his head and frost on his face.
"Girl, are you feeling better?"
"much better."
"The girl fainted that day, which made me very worried. I'll be fine."
Fang Fengsheng sat down on the chair, and Uncle Yu sat beside him.
Wang Er's family brought tea, she and her man Wang Er were both Fang Fengsheng's companions, because Fang Fengsheng was not very favored in the mansion, Wang Er was assigned to the carriage and horse department, and she worked as a maid in the flowers and plants. It is a place with little oil and water and not very important.
"Uncle Yu, is there anything you want to tell me? You didn't seem to finish what you said that day."
Uncle Yu drooped his eyelids halfway, looking at the tea in his hand: "I have nothing to say, as long as the girl is good, we are all good."
Wang Er's family wiped away tears and said: "Yes, as long as the girl is well, we are all well. Miss, you have been sick these days, and the slaves and slave men are in fear every day, but they are really powerless and have nothing to do. .”
"But I'm not good now, do you think I'll be fine?"
Fang Fengsheng laughed desolately, and his face suddenly mourned: "Even if you don't tell me, I still know what's going on at home. The elders of the Fang family are conservative and stable, so my father's position as the head of the family is probably changed. Yes. Is it the uncle’s house in the hall, or the uncle’s house in the fourth hall? But there is nothing important in that old house, so let’s take it if you occupy it. But my father—”
When Fang Yan was mentioned, Fang Fengsheng felt a suffocating pain in his heart. With slender fingers caressing her chest, she felt that it was hollow, as if someone had hit a big hole.
Her fingers were trembling, and her voice was trembling: "I can't accept that my father died so innocently in the name of committing suicide in fear of crime! He is my father, and he raised me and taught me for more than ten years. He I know his character well. Perhaps in the eyes of others, Master’s job is to act as a scheming master. He is good at scheming and scheming, but the Lianghuai Salt Administration has a lot to do with it. With my father’s character, he won’t get involved easily. , and will not come up with plans to help Mr. Zhou to embezzle ink and tax money."
"So Uncle Yu, can you tell me what happened?"
The air seemed to freeze.
I don't know how much time has passed, Uncle Yu sighed slightly, and said, "Girl, why do you need to get to the bottom of it? Some things are too complicated. It's not that I don't want to tell you, but I don't know the details."
"Uncle Yu, you are the most trusted by my father. If anyone said they didn't know, I would believe it. Only you, I don't believe it."
Uncle Yu still lowered his head halfway, looking at the teacup in his hand, as if the teacup contained the most beautiful scenery in the world.
Fang Fengsheng straightened his waist and took a deep breath: "Uncle Yu, even if you don't tell me, I will find out the truth one day. I won't let my father just die in a daze like that."
"Girl, why should you!"
"Uncle Yu, you know my character well. As long as I don't die, I will definitely figure this out!"
"Come on, wait." Uncle Yu sighed, stood up and went to the inner room.
Uncle Yu gave Fang Fengsheng a letter.
The letter was sealed with wax, and the envelope was old and yellowed, obviously not recent.
After taking it apart, it found Fang Yan's handwriting on it. No one is more familiar with Fang Yan's handwriting than Fang Fengsheng.
This is the first time Fang Fengsheng has seen Fang Yan's handwriting since Fang Fengsheng got married. To be precise, it is the first time Fang Fengsheng has seen something Fang Yan gave her since she got married.
Although she obeyed her father's order and married into Sun's family, the estrangement between father and daughter had already been born for nearly two years, and each of them ignored her.
Because of this, Fang Fengsheng watched with great hunger and thirst.
…
Fengsheng, my son, if you see a letter, you don't know:
Remember back then, the day your mother gave birth to you was full of colorful clouds. People say that you are born with a vision, and ordinary people say that you are a man, but who knows that you are a woman.
Your mother panicked and blamed herself for failing to give birth to Lin'er. Only I love her and feel that there is a righteous destiny.
Not to mention more than ten years, your descent has surpassed your father's imagination. When you feel that you are a woman, you should abide by the ethics, but you can't bear to be bound by you. You just want to be your father. Two years, who knows...
Mr. Zhou is upright and upright. Although his father felt that something was wrong, he couldn’t bear to refute it... My Zhou Dynasty has only been established for two generations, but I never thought that the Lianghuai Salt Administration would be so corrupt... Mr. Zhou insisted on writing the letter. Powerless to share his worries, he can only stand on the saddle and swear to follow him to the death.
You alone, the Father worries about.
Thinking about more than ten years ago, I had a marriage contract with brother Jingfang, and I had the audacity to ask you to come to the door, not asking you to be rich and famous, but asking for a corner to protect you and be safe.
If my father is safe and sound this time, I will find you and tell me the details. If you die for your father, A Yu will give this letter to you. I hope you will cherish yourself, don't get involved in this matter, stay away from right and wrong, and live a peaceful life.
…
A picture seemed to appear in front of Fang Fengsheng's eyes——
The green light is like a bean, and a thin man in a green shirt with gray temples is writing at his desk, sometimes recalling, sometimes cherishing melancholy.
He wrote in a hurry, so that the ink on the paper was not dry before he hurriedly packed it and sealed it.
The night is like thick ink, and his eyes also seem to be stained with thick ink, so dark that it is deep.
…
"So, when my father forced me to marry into the Sun's family, it was because he had anticipated that something might happen?"
In the silent air, Fang Fengsheng's slightly suppressed voice sounded.
Wang's family had already left, and only Uncle Yu and Zhichun were by their side.
"Then why, did my father commit suicide in fear of crime? Master Zhou insisted on writing a letter because he wanted to report the matter to the court. Why did Master Zhou commit suicide in fear of crime because of his corruption of ink and tax money? What happened?"
No one could answer her.
Fang Fengsheng laughed.
At first, she laughed silently, and gradually laughed out loud until she couldn't help herself and trembled all over.
"Girl!" Zhichun shouted anxiously.
Fang Fengsheng seemed to have lost his soul, his eyes lost focus.
Just laughing, laughing, and crying.
"I thought my father thought I was a woman. I thought my father still wanted a son. I thought my father was actually a decent man. He took in a new man just after his mother died. He couldn't wait to have a son. That's why he was with Aunt He. After being pregnant, she forced me to marry out of the family, I thought..."
"Girl, stop laughing, stop laughing!" Zhichun rushed up to hug her.
Maybe others don't know, but Zhichun knows what kind of torture the girl has suffered in the past two years.
It was flying wantonly, but someone broke its wings abruptly. The current Fang Fengsheng is a stranger to Zhichun. She grew up with Fang Fengsheng since she was a child, and she watched the girl change from being brilliant to the stagnant pool she is now.
And all of this was caused by the master. Zhichun still remembers the day when the girl came back from the master's study, how heartbroken she was, as if she lost all her faith at once.
Now that the master died tragically in prison, he suddenly told the girl that the master forced her to get married, and even threatened to cut off the relationship between father and daughter, just to protect her safety, how could the girl accept it for a while.
Fang Fengsheng coughed.
She was already very thin. She was not in good health in the past two years, but after this incident, she was even weaker.
"So I was wrong..."
A mouthful of blood spurted out of her mouth.
Zhichun screamed, and frantically wiped it for her, then touched her chest. Uncle Yu also stood up, looking at her with worried eyes.
"Wang Er's family, go to the doctor quickly." Zhichun cried.
The members of Wang Er's family ran in in a panic, and rushed up to have a look: "What's the matter? What's the matter? This is it? I'll go to the doctor right away."
As soon as he turned around, he was grabbed by the corner of his clothes.
"girl?"
Fang Fengsheng, who was originally angry and had his eyes closed, suddenly moved.
She pushed Zhichun away and stood up straight.
The thin shoulders are hidden under the Xiangfei-colored fabric, and the clothes seem to be much bigger, making them look more bony, but the back is straight and straight.
"Uncle Yu, can you tell me where my father is buried?"
"Several clan elders did not allow the master to enter the ancestral grave, I will bury him at the foot of Nanshan."
"I want to see him." Fang Fengsheng said, she wiped the corners of her mouth, turned around and walked: "But before that, I have to leave here first."
"Girl!" Uncle Yu said in a deep voice.
Fang Fengsheng's footsteps stopped.
"Girl, I hand this letter to you in the hope that you can follow the master's last wish, love yourself, stop competing with yourself, and live a good life. If the husband and wife are harmonious and the children and grandchildren are around the knees, the master must be under the nine springs." You can also feel at ease."
Fang Fengsheng didn't look back: "Uncle Yu, are you willing?"
Uncle Yu was taken aback, are you willing?
The scene from the night of Fang Yanlin's accident seemed to appear before his eyes again—
"Ayu, I only have this girl in my life, and I love her like a treasure. I blame myself for my selfishness. A woman obeys the three virtues all her life. She does not step out of the door. Nothing wrong. But I was self-willed and taught her too many things...
"The sparrow knows the ambitions of the big swan, but after being a big swan and seeing how high the sky is and how wide the land is, how can it be willing to be a house sparrow? I think this child is still complaining that I forced her to marry. But if she is not allowed to complain , how could she agree to get married... She is stubborn by nature, and she doesn't behave well. If something happens to me, I'm afraid I can't let it go. You should do your best to appease her. As long as she lives in peace, even if I fall into a nose, I can still smile in Jiuquan..."
But, how can you be willing?
Uncle Yu still hasn't forgotten how tragic it was when he got Fang Yan's body.
Those people tortured him!
He has followed Fang Yan for nearly twenty years, and no one knows Fang Yan's character better than him. The situation is unclear, he will not commit suicide in fear of crime, because that is tantamount to pleading guilty. It was those people who tortured him first, but couldn't get his confession of betrayal, so they simply killed him, pretending that he committed suicide in fear of crime.
…
"Master, what about me?"
"Ah Yu..."
"Since you saved my life, I swear that this life is yours. Now you are in a dangerous situation, but let me stay out of it? And this situation is not impossible to break, why do you have to try it yourself?"
Fang Yan sighed deeply, then smiled wistfully: "Ah Yu, you don't understand. Do you think Mr. Zhou is afraid? I can't be afraid, someone has to stand up and tell the Holy One. Maybe I'm thinking too much Well, Elder Song Ge is Mr. Zhou's teacher. With his help, nothing will happen. Even if something happens, there is still room for maneuver. But Feng Sheng is too important to me, I can't take the risk, I can only entrust her to you, You can do what you want to do with peace of mind…”
…
"Uncle Yu, I don't know if you are willing or not, but I am not, because my surname is Fang, and I am Fang Yan's daughter."
The author has something to say: I have said it all, this is a more handsome than a heroine.
So the mess in the backyard is really nothing to her, and even her shameful situation is her own indulgence, because she finds it particularly boring.
Just imagine, the heroine has been raised by his father as a son, and suddenly forced her to marry, telling her that she is a woman after all. It was her whole world that collapsed, because in this world where many women were restrained, her confidence was built by his father, and then her father broke it with his own hands. Well, I feel that what Fang Yan said is cruel.
I will definitely leave the Sun family in the future. As for the hero you care about, I won't spoil it. Ha ha.
ps: The letter is very vernacular, there is no way, because there is too much information to be disclosed in the letter, and if it is really an ancient letter, even if I pull out my hair and write it, you will not be able to understand it, and I won’t be able to get effective information, so I won’t bother son.
