Chapter 154 The Tartar Attack
Seeing that his son was silent, Ye Shanxin sighed: "Because Xiao Bin refused to continue studying Chinese medicine, I said I would expel him from the house..."
"It turned out that it was more than ten years since he left."
"In the past two years, I have always wondered: What happened to him studying Western medicine?"
"Even if what he did was wrong, we shouldn't expel him from the house..."
"I'm really afraid that if I close my eyes, I won't be able to wait for the day when he comes home."
"Remember, nothing is important! His coming back is the most important thing!"
After Ye Shanxin said this, he was afraid that Ye Daopei would not listen, so he grabbed his hand and shook it.
"Do you remember it?"
Seeing that Ye Daopei promised to "remember it," Ye Shanxin warned him again as if he was worried: "Don't say that he can't do it again!"
Don't say he can't do it again...
At the corner outside the door, Ye Yubin's eyes turned red.
He left his cell phone on the stool and went back to get it. Who knew he heard this sentence.
Years of grievances in his heart seemed to have found an outlet. Ye Yubin returned to the house in panic, without even taking his mobile phone...
Liang Dynasty.
After dark, many shops close, but Goulan Washe becomes lively.
Fu Chenan rode a horse to Zuihong Mansion like any other day.
When the old madam Mei Niang of Zuihong Mansion saw Fu Chenan, she immediately greeted him with a smile on her face: "Ah! Isn't this General Fu? General Fu, please come in..."
Fu Chenan patted the old madam on the shoulder teasingly: "Mei Niang, I want to listen to Qiuqiu singing tonight..."
Mei Niang smiled charmingly: "General Fu is really... You come with me first, and I'll have someone call Qiuqiu..."
With a flick of the peach red handkerchief, she led Fu Chenan to the separate loft in the backyard.
Not long after, Qiuqiu hurried over with Qin in her arms, knocked on the door and went in.
"General Fu, let me pour you some wine..."
"Qiuqiu, why don't you sing a song for the general..."
Soon, the sound of the piano, accompanied by Qiuqiu's low singing, sounded in the small attic.
Listening to the noise, Mei Niang, who was in her thirties, seemed to be pouring wine for Fu Chenan.
But in fact - Fu Chenan was whispering in Mei Niang's ear.
Mei Niang looked serious, looking at Fu Chenan from time to time, looking at the door warily from time to time, and nodding from time to time...
After Fu Chenan finished speaking, Mei Niang nodded to express her understanding, and then stood up: "General Fu, then you and Qiuqiu can play slowly, and I will go out first..."
Delicacies and delicacies were delivered as if they were flowing water, along with a small purse...
Fu Chenan then began to eat and drink with peace of mind.
Qiuqiu played the piano and sang, while looking at Fu Chenan with flattery and gratitude.
After she finished singing, Fu Chenan waved her over to eat together.
Qiuqiu sat down as instructed and said in a very soft voice: "General..."
"Just call me Brother An." Fu Chenan sighed silently.
"Brother An..." Qiuqiu only shouted two words, her eyes were red, and she looked like she wanted to cry.
Qiuqiu has thin eyebrows and narrow eyes, and a weak look that makes people want to bully her.
In fact, she was always bullied.
During those years when she lived in Stone Alley, if Fu Chenan and his son hadn't taken care of her from time to time, she would have been sold by her gambling brother to make gambling money, and no bones would be left.
However, the care of others cannot be comprehensive.
After protecting her for three years, Qiuqiu was finally sold into Zuihong Mansion by her gambling ghost brother and became a henchman.
Fortunately, Qiuqiu's appearance was ordinary, but she had a good voice. Under the care of Meiniang, she could make a living by playing the piano and singing for the princes, princes and grandsons who came here to play.
Fu Chen'an and his son are preparing to act, so the capital must make arrangements first. Fu Chenan came to Zuihonglou to find Mei Niang.
No one knew that the person Fu Chenan trusted the most in the capital was actually the most famous Madam of the Red Mansion in the capital.
And Meiniang——is the widow of Fu Jiajun.
Mei Niang, the once fierce and beautiful top girl, was ransomed by a wealthy businessman and met bandits.
In order to survive, the wealthy businessman gave Meiniang to the bandits.
Mei Niang originally thought that she was just waiting for someone else, and was about to accept her fate. Unexpectedly, she met that enemy and led her men to kill the bandits and save her.
Mei Niang explained her identity and wanted to repay her kindness by offering her her body. However, her enemy said that she wanted to marry Mei Niang and not mind her past.
The enemy is the Fu family army general who was ordered to return to Beijing.
Mei Niang was grateful and spent several years with him in coarse clothes and light meals and meals, with less gatherings and more separations. Although they were dull, they were happy.
I thought I would live like this for the rest of my life.
Unexpectedly, the enemy died on the battlefield.
The imperial court was so afraid of the Fu family that they actually ran out of food and grass at a critical moment when the Fu family's army was on the battlefield!
The Fu family's army fought on an empty stomach, and more than half of them died in the battle, but the court put the blame on Marshal Fu.
The old marshal died tragically, the Fu family was demoted to common people, and the marshal's mansion was taken back by the court.
Before his death, the old marshal asked Fu Zhonghai to comfort the families of the soldiers who died in the battle.
Fu Zhonghai dispersed his family wealth and went to each of them according to the address in the name list, trying to give some consolation money to their widows.
When it comes to Mei Niang, Mei Niang is only obsessed with why her man died.
After Fu Zhonghai explained the reason, Meiniang didn't say anything at that time, she refused the money and bowed.
After Fu Zhonghai left, Mei Niang combed her hair and left quietly. Within two years, she became the madam of Zuihonglou, the number one brothel in the capital.
When did Fu Zhonghai and Mei Niang get in touch?
What did they agree on?
Fu Chenan didn’t know this.
But before Fu Chenan returned to Beijing, Fu Zhonghai asked Fu Chenan to go find Meiniang if anything happened.
It was also at this time that Fu Chenan knew the identity of Mei Niang...
The morning after Fu Chenan came home drunk from Zuihong Mansion, he vomited blood. The imperial doctor came to see him but could not find out the cause.
Fu Chenan lingered on the hospital bed, but soon he couldn't get up, couldn't eat any food, and was losing weight day by day.
Just when Fu Chen'an's health was getting worse day by day, an emergency report suddenly came from the border: the Tatar cavalry suddenly came out in full force and raided Yongzhou City, and Marshal Fu Zhonghai was seriously injured!
Moreover, the Tatar cavalry rushed straight to the capital, and the officers and soldiers defending the city along the way were all vulnerable!
By the time the news reached the capital, the Tatar cavalry had already attacked three cities in a row and were only two hundred miles away from the capital!
The people were in an uproar, packing their bags and preparing to flee!
For a time, there was a long queue of people leaving the city, and the atmosphere of panic was particularly intense.
His Majesty the Emperor was so frightened that he hurriedly summoned the civil and military officials of the court to find a solution.
The civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty once again disappointed the emperor.
The civil servants bowed their heads and acted like quails, but the generals fell ill again, and the old and decrepit ones all expressed that they were not good enough.
The emperor smashed the inkstone on the spot: "You can't do it either! He can't do it either! I think he can do it when he gets his salary!"
"When the Tatar cavalry arrives in Beijing, will you just kneel down to greet them?!"
"Are your wives, concubines, and family members all given to them to ravage?!"
The generals all shrank their necks: At this time, it is shameless to lose face, and it is not necessary to lose face to save life.
Fortunately, a general stepped forward.
The emperor was overjoyed, and his expectant eyes fell on the general: "Will the Ge Qing family lead the army to fight?"
General Ge knelt down and said, "Your Majesty, my old injury has relapsed and I can't mount my horse. Fu Chenan is still in the capital. He has experience in fighting the Tatars. How about asking him to come and discuss it?"
