Chapter 33: Brightness in the Heart
Fu Beimo wanted to help Yan Funing light the fire, but seeing how humble his brother and sister-in-law were, he hurried over.
If they continue like this, my sister-in-law's forehead will hit her brother's chin.
"Brother, if you go inside, won't sister-in-law go in?"
You are so stupid, how can you be more stupid than him?
He is still clever.
If not, my sister-in-law will be in pain and will cry.
Fu Ciyi paused and turned sideways. Yan Funing took the opportunity to enter the kitchen.
Fu Ciyi glanced at his younger brother and returned to his room.
Fu Beimo felt that his brother's eyes were a little cold, so he wrinkled his nose at his back, and immediately followed Yan Funing to the stove.
"Sister-in-law, I'll light the fire."
"Okay."
Yan Funing washed the pot in which the sesame seeds were fried, and then added water.
Fu Beimo started to light a fire and burn firewood.
The glutinous rice balls were quickly cooked and taken out of the pot. Yan Funing scooped them up and brought them to the main room, while Fu Beimo called his brother to eat together.
Everyone can eat a full bowl, and the glutinous rice flour is very good at fighting hunger, so everyone's stomach is full.
“The glutinous rice balls are so fragrant and the soup is delicious.” Wan Niang drank the soup cleanly, “After eating Funing’s food, I don’t want to eat anything else.”
Even Fu Nanyao said: "It's quite fragrant."
Yan Funing smiled and said: "It's just that there is no lard at home. If there is, it will be more fragrant when wrapped with sesame seeds."< br>
A few people chatted for a while.
Fu Beimo suddenly said: "Mom, there are many women going into the city today to watch the lantern festival. The Hu family's daughters also want to go into the city and asked the driver Li to drive us out of the car, but we can't get off."
"Ah, what's going on? ?”
Wan Niang knew that her younger son couldn’t explain clearly, so she asked Yan Funing.
Yan Funing gave a brief summary, and then said: "The Hu family seems to be very anxious. They went to Fu's Mansion on the 13th of the first lunar month, and they may also go to Fu's Mansion today."
Fu Nanyao said worriedly. : "Could we ask the second roommate to punish us?"
But Fu Ciyi was very calm: "We are doing the right thing, so there is no need to worry."
The Hu family and the people in the second room are like a nest of snakes and rats, and they are working together. It's not surprising that these two families can get along together.
“We don’t want to cause any trouble.” Wan Niang said, “Today is the Lantern Festival, and it’s a joy for the whole family to be together.”
Recalling the day when I was driven here, I still Hungry.
Today, she feels very hopeful.
Then he smiled and said to his children and daughter-in-law: "Look at the moon with bright eyes."
Yan Funing nodded: "The bright moon fills the sky, and my heart is bright."
Even if the second house has a county magistrate, how?
With justice in your heart, justice in the world, and people in heaven and earth, your days will definitely get better and better in the future!
Fu Nanyao looked at her in surprise. When she wasn't swearing, her words were quite nice.
Wan Niang clapped her hands: "Well said, Ciyi, please answer the previous sentence."
Fu Ciyi said softly: "I'll go back to the room and copy the book."
A certain woman didn't know Chinese characters, and she still She was used to being arty, so he didn't want to confront her.
Then he left the sentence and returned to the room.
Wan Niang shook her head and said to Yan Funing: "Funing, don't pay attention to him, he is just like this."
——
At this moment in the Fu Mansion, the food has been placed in the dining room. The second old man and Fu Zhengqing were still in the study, chatting for a long time.
The maid went to call for dinner, but the father and son ignored them and instead ordered their servants to invite Fu Minghe to the study.
As soon as Fu Minghe entered the study, Fu Zhengqing ordered someone to close the door.
"Grandfather, father, you two are looking for me for something important?" Fu Minghe asked.
The second old man raised his hand and asked him to sit down: "You have also seen today that the Hu family and Wan Niang's family are not dealing with each other."
Fu Minghe said: "In this way, the second brother's life in the country will be It’s very sad.”
Fu Ning can’t bear the hardship. I wonder what happened to her?
Fu Zhengqing could see his son's thoughts at a glance, how could he really care about Fu Ciyi?
Then he said directly: "I know you like Yan Funing's face. What can the adopted daughter of the Yan family do? You are a person who wants to take the imperial examination. In the past, you had to use money to finance your official career. Only a daughter of the Yan family can help you."
The second old man said in a deep voice: "Minghe, your father has been an official for so many years, and what he said is correct."
Fu Minghe sat down aside and lowered his head.
Fu Zhengqing said again: "Do you think that with our family background, we need to marry the Hu family? Oh, it's just to see that the Hu family has some use."
"What is the use of the Hu family?" Fu Minghe raised his head.
Fu Zhengqing said patiently: "You know the situation of Wan Niang's family very well. Now add the spoiled Yan Funing, and it will be like a chicken and a dog, and their life will be like a chicken feather."
"The only one in their family is a chicken." The one who is in trouble is Fu Ciyi. "
"The Hu family can make trouble for them in everything. If this happens, Fu Ciyi will have to deal with everything. Will he have time to prepare for the imperial examination?"
Hearing this, Fu Minghe looked at his sanctimonious father and hypocritical grandfather and understood instantly.
On the day of the wedding, the wrong bride was chosen. The elders not only tried to match him up with Yan Haitang, but also obtained his great-uncle's family business...
I even want Fu Ciyi to never have the chance to go to high school.
In this way, Yan Funing, who was originally his wife, could only become his sister-in-law.
Seeing his silence, Fu Zhengqing thought he had been persuaded, and then said: "Son, you work hard. Fu Ciyi now has no time to study, and no money to ask his master for teaching. It is time for you to catch up with him. "
The second old man said lovingly: "My dear grandpa, I have left all Fu Ciyi's books for you. You can go and read them tomorrow. He has taken a lot of notes on these books. But it’s hard to buy on the market.”
I have to admit that Fu Ciyi’s knowledge is profound, and the books he has read and left comments on are especially valuable.
When it comes to knowledge, the inferiority complex in Fu Minghe's heart that has been compared to Fu Ciyi for many years surges up.
"I will work hard and not let my grandfather and father down!"
She was supposed to be his wife but became Fu Ciyi's. He has often been compared with him since he was a child. By combining the two dissatisfactions, he could understand the good intentions of his grandfather and father.
Looking at their faces now, he couldn't find any trace of sanctimony or hypocrisy.
Fu Zhengqing nodded happily: "Fu Ciyi will probably not be able to participate in this year's provincial examination. Son, this is the time for you to become famous."
Regardless of his son's knowledge, when he was a child student, Fu Ciyi came first, but his son ranked second.
Later, the examinee, his son was suppressed by Fu Ciyi again.
This year’s provincial examination, they can’t lose again!
The solution must be Fu Minghe!
——
The moon is full and the night is dust-free.
Fu Beimo came to the west wing.
“Brother, many women went to the county town today to enjoy the lanterns. The driver said that young women go there to find their husband-in-law. I thought my sister-in-law had a brother, so she said she didn’t like to go. But there were so many lanterns. It’s beautiful. My sister-in-law will definitely like it. Let’s make a lantern for her.”
Fu Ciyi was surprised.
Since my brother suffered a head injury, he has hardly spoken so many words in one breath.
What is said at this moment is very clear.
Afraid that his brother would disagree, Fu Beimo said worriedly: "I'm afraid my sister-in-law will be deceived if she goes to see the lanterns. Let me make a lantern for my sister-in-law!"
Fu Ciyi He said quietly: "You also know our current situation. Without materials, we can't do it."
