Chapter 31 The most cruel thing in the world is the human heart
It is rare to see a few rains, which makes the hot weather slightly cooler.
Fu Mingyue's crying is sometimes high and sometimes low, and it is mixed with the sound of cicadas on the trees, which is distracting.
Fu Chengxun went out with an impatient look on his face. In the colorful world, why did he suffer this torture at home?
Fu Chengze blocked his ears with cotton and read "The Doctrine of the Mean". He was weak and didn't like to go out to play, so he would rather read, write and write. But he was not very smart. Zhongshi planned to find a way to send him to the Imperial College after he stabilized.
Zhong Shi couldn't help complaining to her husband again: "The old lady is getting older and obscene! She had to agree to what Mrs. Zong said today without thinking. If I hadn't stopped her, I would have been afraid that Mingyue's horoscope would be given to her! I am just such a daughter, how could she let her jump into the fire pit?!"
"Okay, okay, don't be angry." Fu Yu said with a headache: "The old lady is just a little impatient. She has never seen any world before. After hearing what Mrs. Zong said, she thought it was a road."
"It has nothing to do with seeing the world before," Zhongshi wiped her tears and said, "She wants to change her granddaughter to her son for her official position! Anyway, you have become successful, so you can naturally have a lot of wives and concubines, and you can give birth to any number of wives and concubines!"
"What are you saying? How could I have such thoughts?" Fu Yu said helplessly: "There is naturally your decision to make Mingyue's marriage. If you don't agree, I don't agree, how can it be done?"
It turned out that Zong Hong's wife came to visit the Fu family today. Zhong was eager to seek things and couldn't help but ask a few more questions when he was talking to Mrs. Zong.
Of course, Mrs. Zong knew what she meant, just said that her husband was just a doctor in the Ministry of Personnel, and was only a fifth-rank official, with limited power.
If Fu Yu really wants to stay in Beijing and be able to rise steadily, he needs to climb higher branches to become a higher branch.
It is also said that the current Minister of Personnel, Mr. Yi, has a silly son in his family, and the noble families in the capital are unwilling to marry him.
Mrs. Yi also said that it would be difficult for their son to make a noble family or a noble family, but at least it would be a good girl with a clean background and a well-educated and well-educated family.
When Mrs. Zong saw Fu Mingyue, she thought she was very suitable.
It is said that if this marriage is done, Fu Yu would not have to worry about his career. After all, the monk became a relative of the family, so there is no reason not to take care of him.
The old lady of the Fu family was also beside her. After hearing this, she couldn't help but feel moved and asked several questions.
But Zhongshi was reluctant to let her beloved daughter marry a fool, so she stopped her mother-in-law. When Mrs. Zong saw it, she naturally understood, so she stopped and stopped talking.
"Hmph! Mrs. Zong really treats us as a terrifying person," Zhongshi said with a sarcastic meaning: "I always think about us. Who doesn't know what she is thinking about?! She is a matchmaker from it, so she naturally has to buy it from both sides and use my daughter to please Shangguan for her husband. Fortunately, she has made such a good plan!"
"It's good that we understand it in our hearts, and it's useless to say more. Just say this at home. Don't spread it, and you'll have to use it in the future." Fu Yu said: "After all, looking at the entire capital, we only recognize their family. In fact, I used to say that staying in Beijing is not easy, and we are good at local areas. Until now, we haven't seen a single word of the eight characters yet."
Although Fu Yu has been a seventh-rank county magistrate over the years, he has indeed lived a very comfortable life in the local area because he has made money.
After hearing this, Zhong smiled angry and said, "It seems like I am looking for a wife of an imperial decree! I went to Beijing just for the sake of my children. I can't even find a good marriage in the local area, and it's not easy to go to school. How can I compare to the powerful people and the Imperial College in the capital? Besides, I have only waited for such an opportunity for ten years. Could it be that I was spared in vain?!"
"I know you are thinking about this family, but now this situation can only be discussed for a long time." Fu Yu said: "I am a father, and of course I feel sorry for my children."
"I get even more angry when it comes to my children," Zhong said with a sigh of relief: "If I had brought that girl out of my hometown and asked her to go to the temple to sacrifice herself, we could not only help our family to eliminate disasters and pray for blessings, but in ten years of returning to secular life, we would just marry that fool."
It turned out that before Fu Yu married Zhong, his surname was Su, his name was Huaici, and he was a fellow villager.
After the two got married, they had a daughter, but Su Huaici passed away not long after the child was born. At that time, Fu Yu had just passed the exam for a scholar. She was appreciated by Zhong's uncle and intends to marry his niece to him.
Zhongshi said that she "don't be a concubine or a stepmother" and the Fu family abandoned the child.
The child was later taken away by Su Huaici's mother and raised until he was six or seven years old.
After Fu Yu and Zhong got married, they gave birth to a pair of twins, namely Fu Chengze and Fu Mingyue, who were only one year younger than the daughter Su Huaici.
But these two children were freaks connected to their chest and abdomen, which was really sensational at the time.
Fortunately, when these two children were a few months old, they met Master Qingluan who came out of Xianyuan Mountain and separated their bodies.
Later, a monk said that the reason why this happened was because Fu Yude was detrimental. If you want to eliminate disasters and avoid disasters, you have to sacrifice yourself to the temple.
At that time, Fu Yu had already been a county magistrate in another place. So he sent his servants to his hometown to find him and Su Huaicisheng's daughter, and planned to let the child go to the temple to sacrifice himself, but he failed in the end.
In the end, there was no way, so I spent 100 taels of silver to buy a child and sent it.
But Zhong always felt that this would be a big discount because after all, he had no blood relationship. It is very likely that Fu Yu was unable to be promoted for so many years.
"What are you talking about when I was doing back then? It's not that I don't want to, it's all that wild monk is trying to interfere." Fu Yu didn't want to talk more.
"Of course you don't want to mention it," Zhongshi became even more unhappy: "I know you can't forget that bitch from Sushi. Isn't she just charming? It's a pity that she doesn't live long!"
In the first few years when she married Fu Yu, she kept silent about Su Huaici, and always felt that she was giving her a face to her.
However, as her children grew up, she did not have so many concerns.
"Here comes again, what are you scruples with a dead person?" Fu Yu said helplessly.
"However, no matter what, you must be a little cautious about the Zong family in the future," said Zhongshi: "It is best to take another way to avoid being used by them."
"Another way? It's light! Is it the Sima family or the Gao family?" Fu Yu smiled bitterly and said, "Or go directly to find King Yong?"
"Don't be sarcastic," Zhongshi looked at him and said, "We are just a guide. As long as we can get there, just rely on what we have, can't we get a sixth-rank official?"
I have to admit that Zhongshi does have some tricks. If she hadn't helped her plan, Fu Yu might not have been able to reach this day.
"Okay, you think more about it, I'll go see my daughter." Zhongshi said and stood up: "Don't cry this hot day, it's a bad thing."
