Shengshichun

Chapter 9
Just after passing the Ruyi Gate, I heard intermittent crying sounds coming from the depths of the courtyard on the East Road: "...There is no room for us mothers in this house! Look at her neck, it's actually My sister pinched it out with my own hands, sir! If you can't tolerate us anymore and think we are an eyesore, you should say so! I will definitely take the children away now, so I won't cause any more trouble for you!"

Mrs. Fu suddenly stopped.

Fu Zhen said, "Don't worry, mother. Please tell me why we went to the temple with my father this morning?"

Mrs. Fu said solemnly: "I took you to the temple to ask for a fortune from Master Chengkong. As for your father, he went to the temple to ask for an audience with a distinguished person.

"He has been in the position of head of the Six Ministries for ten years. Before the border was settled, the civil and military ministers rarely left the government. Didn't they win the war last winter? The border was settled and the government was loosened. Today, the temple has great When the prayer hall was opened, dignitaries gathered. He heard that Master Tu, the Minister of Civil Affairs, was also here, so he wanted to see him.

"But it's just asking for a meeting. In the final analysis, are you using my money to pave the way?"

When Mrs. Fu said this, her nails dug into her palms.

Fu Zhen understood.Then asked: "Have you seen him today?"

Mrs. Fu thought: "Probably never. Otherwise, there would be no time to pester us. Not only did we not see him, but I'm afraid we were in trouble!"

"How did you get home? The master has been waiting for you and the eldest girl in the study for a long time!"

As soon as she said this, a woman with sharp eyebrows and sharp eyes jumped up to Mrs. Fu. Her hurried look did not look like she came to see the mistress, but like she came to urge a servant on duty.

Fu Zhen stopped: "Which house are you from?"

In the past, Fu Zhen mostly stayed in the main courtyard and her own yard. Mrs. Fu was on guard against accidents and did not let her come into contact with other servants in the house. Therefore, now she felt that this woman looked familiar, but she could not remember who she was.

The mother-in-law looked at her with a smile on her face and said, "This slave is in charge of Aunt Liu's house. The eldest girl is so noble and forgetful that she doesn't even recognize me."

A coldness flashed across Fu Zhen's eyes.

She looked back at Mrs. Fu: "Since father is in a hurry, mother should go over first, and I will come slowly."

Mrs. Fu took a deep breath, looked at her, and walked out the door.

Fu Zhen looked away and looked at the woman: "What's your name?"

The mother-in-law's chest was straight, and because she was half a head taller than the stunted Fu Zhen, her eyelids were drooped: "They all call me Aunt Hu. Big girl, do you really not recognize me? "

"I recognize it now." Fu Zhen nodded, and added: "You keep calling yourself me in front of the master. Isn't this the rule you should have as a servant? When you saw us, you neither called me madam nor bowed. Aunt Liu doesn’t discipline you on weekdays?”

The mother-in-law paused and laughed: "Young lady, you are really joking. I heard from people in my hometown that if children are sick and prone to disasters, they have to be raised low. Aunt Liu doesn't restrain me. This is also for your own good, girl. Looking at your body, if I’m too respectful to you, I’m afraid it will ruin your happiness even more——”

There was a "pop" sound, and before the mother-in-law could finish her words, she received a solid slap on the face!

Fu Zhen clapped his hands and raised the corners of his lips: "Now open your eyes and see clearly again, my aunt, am I in good health or not?" The old lady blushed and gritted her teeth as she tried to reason, but Fu Zhen's hand moved again. Slap him in the face!

Now she was stunned, but she even forgot how to breathe!

Fu Zhen stood up straight, squinted at her, and said in a low voice: "I don't understand what people in your hometown say, but the rules of our Fu family are that slaves bully their masters, ranging from training to training, to selling. What if you don't accept it? , you can try again. My body and bones may not be good, but I have a lot of energy when I hit people!"

The mother-in-law was slapped twice, and even if she felt resentful, she could only lower her head.

Fu Zhen walked down the steps and stopped beside her: "Think carefully about how you should talk to your mother when you meet me in the future. Aunt Liu didn't teach you the rules. I don't mind teaching her you every time in the future!"
"roll!"

Fu Zhen scolded her away, looked around at the servants who were looking over from a distance, and stepped onto the verandah with a cold face.

What's his grandma's name?
Even a servant dared to show off her power in front of Mrs. Fu, her original mistress. If it weren't for the support and connivance of Fu Yun, these two vicious men, she would have her head ripped off right now!

The Fu family originally lived in their ancestral home in Jiangling, and their ancestors were also from a wealthy family. The branch of Fu Jun's uncle, Fu Ziyu, was the direct branch and the most accomplished branch of their family.Later, because Emperor Zhou overthrew the dynasty, the Fu family in Jiangling also experienced a lot of twists and turns. In short, Fu Yun's branch had a mediocre success, and because the family had no backbone, it was reduced to relying on a few meters at home. Paved live.

Mrs. Fu's mother-in-law was an imperial merchant. Unfortunately, her father's family had withered away. After her eldest son died, she was the only one left with a daughter.

Because the Fu family and the Ning family were somewhat of a business partner, Fu Yun often visited the Ning family when he was young. At first, Ning's father looked down on Fu Yun. At that time, there were as many children looking at the Ning family's property as there were people crossing the river. Crucian carp, especially this daughter is extremely beautiful and has a first-class temperament. How can she worry about finding a golden husband?
Things are unpredictable. Because of the war that year, Ning's father was injured and was on the bed. The business of the imperial merchants had no choice but to be unloaded. There were so many young people who came to show their courtesy, but only Fu Yun was busy in front of him.Ning's father sighed and realized that Fu Yun had no good intentions, so they ended the marriage.

Ning's father later recovered from his illness, and when the dynasty changed again, he lasted for more than ten years.Because he had a huge fortune that would belong to his daughter in the future, he spent money to promote Fu Yun, who was not a high-ranking scholar and had no foundation in the court, to be promoted to the capital and become a capital official.He also tried every means to let Fu Yun inherit Fu Ziyu's abandoned mansion in the capital.

Before Ning's father died of illness, Fu Yun was already the head of the Yamen of the Ministry of Rites.

After all, time is the touchstone!

No, without the support of his father-in-law, ten years later, he is still in the position of head of the Ministry of Etiquette!
Co-author Fu Yun is nothing without his father-in-law's money!

Fu Zhenhan arrived at Fu Yun's study with a face on his face. After seeing her, the two maids at the door quickly came over and said, "Miss, why don't you go back to your room? The master is very angry. I'm afraid the girl has gone to ask for help." I can’t stand it!”

Fu Zhen recognized that this was the maid who worked in the study. They all had family members working as servants around Mrs. Fu. They were among the few servants in the Fu family who could still stand by Mrs. Fu and her children.

"...You still want to beat me up? I saw her pinch Sister Rou with my own eyes. Do you think it was just an accident?"

Before Fu Zhen could speak, Fu Yun's roar could be heard inside, and there were also women's cries and voices. There was no doubt that they were Liu and Fu Rou.

Fu Zhen raised his feet and walked in.
