Chapter 1074 Seizing Power 1

One of the big men was a little hesitant: "Young master is not from our local area, I'm afraid I don't know. Although this Fu Hongtian is a dandy who has no shortage of food, drink, prostitution and gambling, he is the fifth master of our Qingzhou Fu family. Let's keep him tight." I'm afraid that I've just stirred up the Fu family's hornet's nest. When the time comes, no matter whether he seduces the sister-in-law or not, the Fu family will always keep him first. Outsiders like us who know about it must be silenced first, and we must follow the advice of the younger ones. , wait for a while, at least another four or five days, and then ask him for money again..."

"It will be the same tomorrow." Rong Leng still said the same thing. After saying that, without looking at the disapproving expression of the big man, he added, "If something goes wrong, you don't need to support me."

With the young master's words, the big man couldn't say anything, but he was trying to figure out the young master's purpose in doing this.

Could it be that it's not about money at all, but specifically to support the Fu family?

But after thinking about it, the big man vetoed it again. Who would be so stupid as to come to Qingzhou to fight against the Fu family? The Fu family is the local emperor of Qingzhou. What's the difference between messing with the Fu family in Qingzhou and messing with the emperor in Kyoto?

…

When it was time, Fu Hongda woke up the old man. After helping the old man wash up, he accompanied the old man to the Chief Secretary's Yamen.

But what he didn't expect was that before he entered the door, the guard at the door said that Fu Hongmei was not at the Yamen and had gone to inspect the township.

Fu Hongda suggested that we go back.

But the old man said that he wanted to go to the Yamen.

The father and son had no choice but to go to Fu Hongshi's place again. What was even more unfortunate was that Fu Hongshi was not there either. The guard said that Fu Hongshi was out on business.

After seeing no one one after another, Mr. Fu was tired and finally returned home.

Fu Hongda took good care of the old man. After watching the old man rest, he came out and saw his young man, Ah Fu.

Ah Fu had just come back from outside. When he came over, he whispered in Fu Hongda's ear: "I gave all the money from the Chief Secretary's Yamen and the Chief Secretary's Yamen."

Fu Hongda said "hmm", and then sighed: "I am doing this for my father's good. I know that my eldest brother and my third brother don't agree, but they still make a fuss when we meet. Why do I have to let him be so angry?"

Today, Fu Hongmei and Fu Hongshi were all well and good at the Yamen. However, Fu Hongda had already been working with the Chief Secretary Yamen and the Chief Counselor Yamen. Before he arrived, he arranged for someone to pass the message on, so naturally the old man could not see anyone. .

When the young man Ah Fu heard what his master said, he nodded repeatedly and said in agreement: "Master, you do everything for the good of the old man. Everyone can see this."

Fu Hongda said nothing and turned back to his yard.

After Fu Hongda returned to the hospital, Ah Fu didn't need Ah Fu to wait for him anymore, so Ah Fu went back to his room. When there was no one around, he wrote a small letter and stuffed it into the rags he was about to throw away. He took it out of Fu's house and threw it away. We arrived at the alley corner by the back door.

After Ah Fu left, two black figures silently sneaked into the alley, took away the small bag of clothes, and disappeared in an instant.

After Fu Hongda arrived at the yard, his wife, Mrs. Lu, came out and was wearing the same hosta that Fu Hongda had sent to her earlier.

The hairpin was in the style of a girl. Lu was already old and it was not suitable to wear it. However, because it was given by Fu Hongda, she couldn't help but wear it immediately and wanted to wait for Fu Hongda to come back to show it to him.

Fu Hongda went back to the room to change clothes and saw Mrs. Lu wearing a jade hairpin and said, "It matches her well."

Madam Lu immediately laughed, stepped forward to change his boots, and said, "Would I be too young if I wear this style?"

Fu Hongda said: "The hairpin from the previous dynasty, an antique, is probably more than a hundred years older than you. Are you young?"

Mr. Lu was surprised: "That's very expensive."

"Two hundred taels."

Mrs. Lu immediately took off the hairpin, held it in her hand and said, "Then I won't wear it anymore. I'll keep it for my daughter to marry off in the future."

Fu Hongda and Lu's daughter, because she is a concubine, has a very low status in the mansion. On weekdays, in addition to greeting her parents, she is not even qualified to greet the old lady and the old man. Because of this incident , Fu Hongda has always felt guilty towards Lu and his daughter, especially since Lu was originally the legitimate daughter of the Lu family in southern Shaanxi, and marrying him was truly a lowly marriage.

Thinking of this, Fu Hongda held Lu's hand and said, "Wear it if you want. My daughter is only ten years old. Before she gets married, the father will definitely give her another big gift. You can't afford to be cautious."

Mrs. Lu smiled when she heard this, but she still made up her mind not to wear this hairpin. She liked Fu Hongda and liked him to be pragmatic and down-to-earth, so even when she married him, she knew that his wife was named Rick. She died of illness at the age of thirty without any children, but she insisted on getting married.

The only daughter, Fu Ziru, was a pain in the eyes for both of them. No matter how wronged they were, they didn't dare to let their daughter suffer. Every time she got something good, Mrs. Lu would stay. Her daughter was not a legitimate daughter, and she was afraid of getting married in the future. It's not easy to find a good family. If you have a richer dowry, you can have more dignity by marrying into your husband's family.

At night, Fu Ziru got off school and ran to her parents' yard to have dinner.

It was rare that his father, whom he had not seen for several days, was here today. Fu Ziru walked up to her father and obediently bowed and saluted: "I have met my father."

Fu Hongda waved to her.

Fu Ziru stepped forward and glanced at her mother secretly, a little scared.

Compared to her serious father, Fu Ziru prefers her gentle mother.

"What did you learn today?" Seeing her daughter's discomfort, Ms. Lu came over, put her arms around her shoulders, and held the child in her arms.

Fu Ziru felt much more comfortable, a smile appeared on her face, and she carefully opened her fingers and counted the numbers: "Today, Mr. taught me the female precepts. I learned Chapter 7, Mother, and I can recite it."

Mr. Lu touched her head and said, "Ziru can even memorize it. Does Mr. Lu praise you?"

Fu Ziru nodded and said seriously: "Sir, you praised the seventh sister and me."

Now Fu Mansion is not yet married, and among the daughters who are still being taught by female teachers at home, the only legitimate daughter is the legitimate daughter of the second wife, the seventh and seventh young lady, Fu Ziqing. The others are all concubines, except Fu Ziru. Not to mention Miaomiao, the only girl in the four-bedroom apartment, there are four girls in Fu Hongtian's fifth-bedroom apartment. Therefore, six girls teach together every day. Whoever the teacher praises and whom he doesn't praise becomes a room of six. Invisible competition.

Everyone wants to be praised by their husband, and everyone wants to be recognized by their elders.

However, the seventh young lady, Fu Ziqing, is already fourteen years old. She is also engaged and will get married next year. She does not like to argue with the sisters below her. Also because of her grandeur, the fourth-bedroom Fu Ziru and the fifth-bedroom sister Fu Ziqing On the contrary, the four girls looked up to Fu Ziqingma.

Hearing her husband praise Fu Ziqing and Fu Ziru, Mrs. Lu also laughed sincerely: "That Ziru is happy, you are getting closer to your seventh sister."

Fu Ziru nodded heavily again; "Seventh sister also praised me for my good memory. She said she would teach me how to embroider azaleas in two days. If I can embroider well, she will ask me to help her embroider her trousseau."

Mrs. Lu was slightly surprised: "You are involved in the dowry, so your seventh sister really likes you."

Fu Ziru had been happy all day because of this incident. Now when her mother said this, she smiled even more happily. The world of a legitimate daughter and a concubine is different. Fu Ziru is young and has been in the house since she was sensible. The legitimate daughter I saw the most was Sixth Miss Fu Zixue, but Fu Zixue looked down upon concubines. When Fu Ziru was five years old and had just started studying at home, she once saw Fu Zixue facing the other room in the third room. The concubine uttered evil words and ordered her maids to push the man into the river and prevent him from getting ashore.

Fu Ziru was really scared at the time, and even got sick from fear when she came back. Later, when Fu Zixue got married and no longer came to study at home, Fu Ziru felt a little more at ease.

The mother and daughter were talking happily in this room, but in the other room, the only male host in the room frowned: "It's getting more and more embarrassing for Ziqing to borrow the dowry from other people's hands."

Fu Ziru was happy at first, but when he heard this, he immediately stopped talking and looked at his father timidly.

Mrs. Lu was silent for a moment, and then said, "Let's eat first, the food is getting cold."

The family of three then went to the dining table. During the meal, because Fu Hongda had a rule and did not eat or sleep, the three of them did not speak.
