"By the way, Second Young Master, Old Master Hui has a rest this afternoon and has gone to the Yamen in the morning. He just came over and said he wanted to see Young Master Jinlin. He is probably in Young Master Jinlin's room right now." After sending Luo Ziyuan away, he followed Fang Yi. When Ai returned to the house, Fuasaki suddenly remembered that Fang Xuanling had come to Fang Yiai's house and hurriedly reported.
"Hiss..." Fang Yiai paused and took in a breath with a grin on his face. He didn't know whether he was frightened by the news of Fang Xuanling's arrival, or because he was in pain from the plank on his buttocks.
After a moment of silence, Fang Yiai waved her hand and asked Fang Qi to go about his own business.
Fang Yiai took a breath and walked towards Jinlin's residence.
"Jinlin, do you hate your father?" Fang Xuanling's voice sounded in the room.
Fang Yiai's hand, which was about to push the door in, was hanging in the air. As if a immobilization spell had been cast on her, she stood there forlornly, not daring to move at all. She was anxiously waiting for Jinlin's answer.
Even if Jinlin said he hated him, Fang Yiai couldn't blame him. Compared to a child, his punishment was really excessive and harsh.
But when I think of Mr. Hu, those who died, and Wu Hao, who had a promising future but had to stop suddenly, such a punishment seems a bit weak.
Especially when she thought that Jin Lin treated the battlefield as an ordinary place and wandered out of the military camp without warning, and could face the danger of losing his life at any time, Fang Yiai felt that such a punishment, although heavy, was necessary.
"I don't hate you." Jin Lin lay on the bed, shook his head, looked at Fang Xuanling with clear eyes, and said clearly.
"Dad said that if you make a mistake, you will be punished accordingly. Dad and I are already merciful. And dad beat me for my own good." Jinlin said, "I heard that Uncle Wu and Third Uncle, the Prince's uncle They said that after I fainted, my father felt more uncomfortable than me."
Fang Xuanling stroked Jinlin's little head happily, her heart filled with emotion.
Fang Yiai's injuries from beating Fang Yiai were not healed. After waking up, she quietly ran away from home, dragging her wounds with her.
In addition, Jinlin and Jinqi had a history of running away from home before, so Fang Xuanling was a little worried, fearing that Jinlin would not be able to think about it, and after waking up, he would be like Fang Yiai, dragging his injured body back angrily. ran away from home.
After hearing that Jin Lin had woken up safely, he quickly finished his work and hurried to Fang Yiai's mansion, in order not to leave anything behind between Fang Yiai and Jin Lin. compartment.
Looking at it now, Fang Xuanling has to admit that her son is a more successful father than herself.
At least the son he raised is sensible and considerate of him. He also knows how to understand and care about his son.
And not only did I not know how to educate my son, I also didn't know how to understand him. If I had been more patient and focused on Fang Yiai, if I had known how to visit him in his room after he was punished by the family, With just one glance, does it mean that the matter of my son running away from home is gone?
"Oh, you have a good father." Fang Xuanling looked at Jinlin with complex eyes, and said with emotion as she reminisced.
"Grandpa is right. My brother Hui and I think so too," Jin Lin said proudly. Although he felt a little resentful about Fang Yiai's beating of himself, he was not angry.
"But Dad said that he is luckier than me and my brother, because he has two fathers who love him." Jin Lin was keenly aware of the dim look in Fang Xuanling's eyes and his slightly childish tone. He said somewhat unconvincedly, "But my brother and I have two grandfathers who love us. Dad cannot compare to us."
These words made Fang Xuanling laugh and laugh away a lot of the disappointment in his heart.
Outside the door, Fang Yiai shook her head with a smile, looked helplessly in the direction of Jinlin's bed, took two steps back, and climbed onto the roof...
She quietly sat on top of Jinlin's room and carefully lifted up a tile to let the sound out. Fang Yiai lay on the roof, listening to the conversation between Fang Xuanling and Jinlin's ancestors and grandsons inside. Looking leisurely at the leisurely clouds on the horizon.
"Your father is more measured than grandpa." After laughing, Fang Xuanling said in retrospect.
Knowing that Fang Xuanling was holding back something in her heart and wanted to talk it out, Jin Lin obediently lay down on the bed and acted like a serious listener.
"Have you heard about your father running away from home?" Fang Xuanling asked.
"Well, I heard grandma say that it was because my father beat the King of Wei and my grandfather followed the family law that my father ran away from home in anger." Jin Lin nodded and said, looking at Fang Xuanling with dark eyes. .
"Back then, state affairs were busy, and grandpa didn't have much thought to take care of family affairs. However, your father gave the emperor and the empress a beating in their hearts at that time." Fang Xuanling recalled, "At that time, the empress' body was not recovered. No, Grandpa is afraid that if something happens to the Queen who is further troubled by this matter, our family will be completely destroyed."
"So, at the beginning, grandpa didn't ask who was right and who was wrong, and just gave your father thirty cane lashes." Fang Xuanling said.
"Thirty lashes?" Although this is not the first time I heard about it, I just didn't have any idea about it before. This time I received twenty lashes, which was already a bit unbearable. This was an injury caused by my father's precise control. , Therefore, Jinlin could truly feel how badly Fang Yiai was hurt by the thirty lashes Fang Xuanling gave her in anger.
I am now more than four years older than Fang Yiai back then, and I have been practicing martial arts since I could walk, so why am I still feeling uncomfortable?
How did Fang Yiai, who was younger than himself, have not yet started practicing martial arts at that time, receive those thirty lashes?
"Although grandpa has never practiced martial arts, he is not a weak scholar with no strength. He has followed the emperor in many wars, and grandpa has accumulated some strength in his hands." Fang Xuanling said, with a look in his eyes as he recalled. Scared and distressed.
"It was winter, and even though your father had grown strong since he was a child, even after thirty lashes, there was more going out and less coming in. At that time, grandpa was much more ruthless than your father. He left your father naked without even covering the door and quilt. He lay down on his upper body, put a thin quilt over him, and didn't treat his wounds, so he just took him into the palace to ask for forgiveness." Fang Xuanling said.
Jin Lin had never heard of this, and looked at Fang Xuanling with a bit of a stupor, unable to believe that Fang Xuanling would actually do this.
Although he was a little confused when Fang Yiai carried him into the carriage, he still clearly remembered that after getting on the carriage, Fang Yiai secretly fed him three pills.
If he was correct, the three pills contained three pills for relieving pain, replenishing qi, and stopping bleeding.
Otherwise, even if he was strong enough, the people who arrived at the military camp would have fainted long ago, and he would still be able to survive until he could kowtow to apologize to Wu Hao!
In comparison, well, my father really feels sorry for me and is more responsible than his father.
Thinking about it, Jin Lin's eyes changed when he looked at Fang Xuanling. Since he was his father's father, Jin Lin couldn't say anything, but he felt sorry for his father.
Fang Yiai only vaguely read about the events of that year from her predecessor's memory and didn't know the details, so she couldn't help but feel a little bit tongue-tied when she heard them.
Fang Yiai, who is also a father, can understand Fang Xuanling's intention of doing this in front of Jinlin.
Fang Xuanling was good at dancing in the political arena and brought talented people from all walks of life together as harmoniously as possible, but as for the expression of father's love, like traditional Chinese fathers, he was not good at expressing it verbally.
Telling Jin Lin what happened between him and her back then was not just because Fang Xuanling was afraid, fearing that Jin Lin would not understand her painstaking efforts and create a estrangement between them...
As a father, it was not convenient for me as a father to explain this kind of caring and detailed matter to General Jinlin, so it was up to him, the grandfather, to intervene on his behalf as the father.
Fang Yi was so moved that he took off the tiles and looked down at Fang Xuanling in the room, whose expression could not be seen clearly.
He thought to himself, this old man is not afraid that his image in Jinlin's heart will collapse, and he even talks about this kind of thing.
Fang Yiai was determined to go on, but she was afraid that Lao Hui's hard work would be in vain, so she could only continue to lie on the roof and listen to the conversation between her grandfather and grandson.
"..." Grandpa was only thinking that your father had caused trouble for the family again, and wanted to give an explanation to the emperor and the queen, but he forgot about your father's age. He didn't understand the whole story, and he didn't expect it. Your father was so angry that time that he dared to run away from home with injuries all over his body." Fang Xuanling said.
"Did grandpa later know why dad fought with King Wei that time? Grandma didn't know, and she didn't explain it clearly." Jin Lin asked.
"Grandpa only found out after your father came back that the reason why he fought with King Wei was because King Wei insulted grandpa and he was angry." Fang Xuanling said.
Fang Yiai smiled strangely on the roof and rubbed her head. Fang Xuanling really believed the reasons she made up on her own.
After what he said at that time, Li Huishi Hui people did not even see Li Tai in person, so they took Li Tai to Fang's house to apologize. Li Tai was so angry that he later swallowed the details of the incident.
As a result, the only person left who truly understood the situation at that time was Li Tai.
Judging from Li Tai's temperament, since Li Huishi and the Hui people have confirmed the whole story, he is afraid that Li Huishi and the Hui people will not believe the real truth, and he has never mentioned that matter again. Revengefully, he and Fang Yiai were at odds with each other, and they had completely formed a feud.
"My father is so unjust!" Jin Lin muttered softly.
"Yes, that's why I said that your father is better than me. At least he didn't wrong you by beating you." Fang Xuanling said, "Although the emperor and General Li also punished you in the beginning, my last love is your father. I have the responsibility to educate you."
"If he didn't beat you up, he would certainly be accused of being a bad parent, but it would not have much impact on his future. But you are different." Fang Xuanling patiently enlightened and said, "There is no such thing. Dundao, people only think that you are suppressing the subordinates and did not tell your father about this matter. The suspicion of deceiving your superiors and hiding it from your subordinates has been placed on you. Think about it, if you are the person in power, Would you like to use such a person who is accustomed to deceiving one person and hiding it from the other?"
