Jin Yi Kill

Chapter 2: Qingqing

When Fu Yue first brought Wang Yanqing into the mansion, he didn't think about getting married, so Fu Tingzhou and Wang Yanqing were brothers and sisters. Later, as the two children got older, Fu Yue became more and more pleasing to the eye, and this moved his mind to get it right. But Wang Yanqing's habit of calling Fu Tingzhou the second brother was preserved like this.

They both have different surnames. No one would really treat Wang Yanqing as the young lady of the Fu family, and Fu Tingzhou would never treat her as his sister. The two of them have been together for ten years. They were scolded by Fu Yue together, and they went to the school grounds together. Fu Tingzhou broke into trouble and Wang Yanqing helped him guard the door. For Fu Tingzhou, Wang Yanqing's relationship with him is much closer than those of the Fu family's brothers and sisters.

After all, Fu Tingzhou is Fu Yue's grandson. If Fu Tingzhou is unwilling, Fu Yue will not give birth to the idea of ​​letting Wang Yanqing stay in Fu's house. Fu Yue saw that Fu Tingzhou did not reject Wang Yanqing, and even got close to her, so he would decide this matter for his grandson.

It's just that Fu Yue taught his grandson so well that Fu Tingzhou looked like his ancestor and even surpassed his ancestor. Fu Tingzhou dared to overthrow what Fu Yue decided.

Fu Tingzhou flipped through the book in his hand, put it down casually, and asked, "Why did you think of reading this? You didn't like Song Ren's books before."

Wang Yanqing smiled and said, "If you have nothing to do, just look around."

How can she like it or not? It's Fu Tingzhou who doesn't like it.

She has been in Zhenyuan Hou's Mansion for ten years and has almost no hobbies of her own. Fu Tingzhou reads whatever book she reads, and Fu Tingzhou goes to learn whatever new things Fu Tingzhou likes. Fu Tingzhou is her whole life. Now that Fu Tingzhou wants to marry another person, Wang Yanqing's heart is empty.

Fu Tingzhou stared at Wang Yanqing's eyes, and did not continue to ask, but said, "It's cold this winter, do your legs still hurt?"

People who practice martial arts have more or less problems. Wang Yanqing once fell off his horse in order to save Fu Tingzhou. Since then, he has suffered from problems in his legs, and his calf hurts in cold weather. Wang Yanqing shook his head and said, "It's fine. It's been so many years, good morning."

Fu Tingzhou stretched out his hand and habitually touched Wang Yanqing's leg. Wang Yanqing got up and poured tea and avoided it. Fu Tingzhou's hand stopped in the air for a moment, then quietly retracted it. He looked at Wang Yanqing for a while, and said, "Why do you need to do things like serving tea and water? We haven't seen you for a few days, and are you estranged from your second brother?"

Fu Tingzhou's words sounded ordinary, but there was something in the truth. When Fu Tingzhou grew up, he seldom called himself the second brother. He was not Wang Yanqing's brother, so what did he talk about? Whenever he mentioned the old name, he was not happy.

Wang Yanqing lowered his eyes, and after a meeting, he said, "No way. The second brother has the most rules for doing things. Of course I can trust the second brother."

Wang Yanqing looked submissive, as if avoiding him just now was just an accident. Fu Tingzhou's anger gradually dissipated. He thought that Wang Yanqing had lived in Fu's house for ten years, and it was possible that he couldn't resist for a while. Besides, she would be jealous, which showed that she had him in her heart.

Fu Tingzhou's remaining half of his anger dissipated. He held Wang Yanqing's wrist and pulled her to sit down. Wang Yanqing didn't hide this time, and sat meekly beside Fu Tingzhou. Fu Tingzhou felt the snow satin-like skin in his palm, so he slowed down and asked, "I've been busy with court affairs these days, so I don't have time to see you. Did someone come to you to talk?"

Wang Yanqing has been under the tutelage of others for ten years, how can he not even understand this kind of worldly knowledge. She tucked her eyelashes and shook her head gently: "No way. The wife and the old lady treat me very well. Whatever the sisters of the Fu family have, I will have what I have here. I often worry that I have not done enough and can't repay the second elder. Why? Believe other people's nonsense."

Wang Yanqing did not deny the rumors in the house. After all, Fu Tingzhou knew what his mother and grandmother were like, but Wang Yanqing also expressed his attitude in turn. Fu Tingzhou is very satisfied with this decent and cleverness.

Every family has a scripture that is difficult to read, and the Fu family is no exception. In Wang Yanqing's words, Mrs. Tai and Mrs. Lao are Fu Tingzhou's grandmother and mother respectively. Now Fu Tingzhou is the Marquis of Zhenyuan, so his wife can be called Mrs. Zhenyuan Hou, and Ye Hou's mother is called Mrs. As a result, Fu Chang's wife, Chen Shi, became an old lady without ever being a Mrs. Hou one day.

The Fu family's seniority is inflated, and we have to start with Fu Yue. Fu Yue fought in the south and fought in the north. Fu Chang has many children. Fu Tingzhou is the second son of Fu Chang's direct descendant, and there is an eldest brother in front of him, but that child died young and died at the age of five, so Fu Tingzhou is the eldest grandson of the Fu family in actual sense.

When Fu Yue was dying, he would rather pass his son directly to his twenty-year-old grandson than let Fu Chang inherit the title of Hou. Fu Yue's obvious reason was that Fu Chang was ill and had a lame foot, so he couldn't attack the lord. There was indeed something wrong with Fu Chang's feet, but he usually couldn't see it at all, and the injury was still caused by Fu Yue.

It stands to reason that the inheritance of the Zhenyuan Houfu is not in line with the law of the Ming Dynasty, but Fu Yue is a famous general of the Zhengde Dynasty. Say hello, and the title is done.

Fu Yue was separated by generational relatives, and everything passed over his old wife, son and daughter-in-law, and handed it over directly to his grandson. Gradually, the Fu family accumulated a lot of grievances. Fu Tingzhou is a direct bloodline, so Mrs. Tai and Mrs. Chen will not do anything to Fu Tingzhou, but Wang Yanqing, who has no blood relationship with the Fu family but is very much favored by Fu Yue, has become a hot spot.

Wang Yanqing has been gossiped by the Chen family a lot over the years, but before Fu Yue was alive, no one dared to reach out to Wang Yanqing. Once Fu Yue died, these grievances could no longer be suppressed.

Chen's grievances are easy to understand. The old man can do everything alone at home. Why didn't she ask her mother to decide directly on her son's marriage? Wang Yanqing, a commoner's daughter who doesn't know where she came from, why should she marry her son? No, as soon as Fu Yue died, the Chen family immediately looked for a bride and threw Wang Yanqing's face on the ground.

It's not that Wang Yanqing didn't know Chen's anger towards her. In the past ten years, she tried to please Mrs. Tai and Chen's many times, but it was useless, and finally she had to give up. Although Wang Yanqing was helpless, she was not in a hurry, because she knew that the old marquis in Zhenyuan Hou's mansion used to be the master, but now it is Fu Tingzhou, and there is nothing to do with Fu Chang and his wife.

So she was not in a hurry, until Fu Tingzhou turned against the water and caught her off guard.

She always thought that she and Fu Tingzhou had a heart-to-heart bond and tacit understanding.

Fu Tingzhou saw that Wang Yanqing had been avoiding his sight since he came in, and he knew that Qingqing was angry. Fu Tingzhou is three years older than Wang Yanqing, and he has been in and out of the military camp since he was a child.

When he was ten years old, Wang Yanqing came to him when he felt a little bit about the relationship between men and women. When they were young, the two of them took a nap in the same room. Wang Yanqing grew more beautiful under his eyes, from a little girl to an ice figure. The jade-bone girl, if he said that he had no feelings for Wang Yanqing, it would be something wrong with him.

However, a stunned young man can only marry the woman he likes, but a marquis has many things to consider besides feelings.

Nowadays, there is a lot of uproar in the court because of the ceremony, and people related to Yang Ting have been liquidated one after another, and everyone in the court is in danger. The Marquis of Wuding, Guo Xun, because of his repeated support for the emperor, soared to the top, and his official fortune was prosperous, and he had become a leader of military generals who could fight against the cabinet.

Civilian officers and military generals are natural enemies. Fu Tingzhou does not have to try to have both sides. In the court, if there is no camp or two sides to please, he will only die faster.

He needs Guo Xun, and Guo Xun needs him too. This is a win-win situation, and the nomination is his marriage to Yongping Houfu.

Mrs. Yongping Hou is Guo Xun's younger sister. He married Yongping Hou's daughter and officially joined Guo Xun's party. As for which daughter of Marquis Yongping to marry, and what Miss Hong looks like... it doesn't matter at all.

As long as it is a living person, it is enough to carry it to the Marquis of Zhenyuan.

Fu Tingzhou admits that it is very unkind to do so, but the adult world is such an ugly reality. Fu Tingzhou slowly rubbed the thin calluses on Wang Yanqing's fingertips and said, "A few days ago, another group of Yang Dang was found out by Jin Yiwei. The holy dragon was delighted, and Lu Heng was temporarily appointed as the commander to take charge of the Nanzhen Fu Division. Affairs. That person Lu Heng... is a mad dog. There are no people in the court who dare not bite him, and only Marquis Wuding can compete with him. Sometimes I have to do something to protect the mansion. Qingqing, you understand?"

Wang Yanqing's heart became cold, she knew that there was no room for improvement in this marriage, and she was completely abandoned.

Wang Yanqing's fingers were cold, and after a while, she whispered, "I understand."

With a smile on Fu Tingzhou's face, he knew that his grandmother and mother would not understand the reason, the maid in the house would not understand, and even Miss Hong San herself would not understand, but Wang Yanqing would definitely understand.

As for whether Wang Yanqing is willing or not, Fu Tingzhou does not want to get into it.

At this point, there is no need to say anything about Wang Yanqing's identity. Fu Tingzhou knew that he was sorry for Qingqing, but he had no fear. He subconsciously believed that no matter what he did, Wang Yanqing would forgive him and wait for him forever.

Otherwise, where could she go? She only knew him in the capital, but many outsiders knew her. After all, she was really beautiful and too attractive.

Over the years, people kept inquiring about Wang Yanqing, but they were stopped by Fu Tingzhou. Some people even shyly thought that Qingqing was the reason why he adopted his sister and wanted to be his brother-in-law. Fu Tingzhou was angry and laughed at that time. He was over his own strength and had no idea. Did Qingqing have a marriage? What does it matter to them?

Fu Yue still knew his grandson after all. Fu Tingzhou regarded Wang Yanqing as his personal property since he was ten years old. It was a birthday present from his grandfather, she was in his domain on the day he was in the worst mood, and that would always be his. Others want to meddle, dream.

Fu Tingzhou felt that his fingertips, which were as pale as the palm of his hand, were as cold as snow. He felt pity, and rarely violated his own principles, so he reassured: "Qingqing, don't worry, one more person in the manor and one less person will not affect your position. You are at ease."

For noble children like Fu Tingzhou, a wife is a wife and a lover is a lover, which are two completely different things. After he married the third Miss Hong and entered the mansion, he would give her Madam Hou's dignity and support her in times of trouble, but Wang Yanqing was not within the scope of Madam Hou's power.

He hoped that the third lady would not be stupid enough to reach out to Wang Yanqing. He needs a political banner, and he doesn't want to change his life, especially his relationship with Wang Yanqing.

This time, Wang Yanqing didn't answer any more. Fu Tingzhou is not in a hurry, Qingqing is a smart person, she will understand. Because of the mention of a person just now, Fu Tingzhou had to think of some annoying things. His face turned cold and he said to Wang Yanqing, "Be careful recently, and don't go out if you have nothing to do."

Wang Yanqing felt that Fu Tingzhou was in a bad mood and asked, "What's wrong?"

Fu Tingzhou sneered, his eyes darkened: "It's nothing, I got a mad dog."

Wang Yanqing quickly guessed what could arouse Fu Tingzhou's mood swings and asked, "Is it Jin Yiwei?"

Fu Tingzhou sighed and admitted: "It's Lu Heng. Something happened to the Nancheng Military Commander, and he may trouble the Fu family in the near future."

It turned out to be Jin Yiwei, Wang Yanqing showed a clear look, and stopped asking. It's not a wise thing to speak ill of Jin Yiwei. If it weren't for the fact that he was in Zhenyuan Hou's house and surrounded by his own people, Fu Tingzhou wouldn't say it.

The same family of military commanders, Xun Gui and Jin Yiwei are two completely different circles. Fu Tingzhou's circle is the son of a high-ranking official. He was born with a title in his family, and his father and brother both served in the army. They have known each other since childhood. As for Jinyiwei, who is in charge of patrolling and arresting, in other words, it is to sue the nobles and civil officials for black accounts, and the two groups have always been like water and fire.

The nobles are like this. The two children may not know each other, but they have been enemies from birth. After that, you don't need to ask me why. Xun Gui and Jin Yiwei were natural enemies. Although Wang Yanqing had never met Lu Heng, the name was reverberating in the capital. The common people may not care who the first assistant is or who the Hou Ye is, but they will never be ignorant of Jin Yiwei.

Lu Heng is only 22 years old this year, and he has already obtained the real power of commander, which is really scary. He is different from a noble child like Fu Tingzhou who grew up in the imperial city. The Lu family originally inherited Jinyiwei in Anlu, but Lu Heng is already the sixth generation, and he is quite powerful in Anlu. Engaged in such a high-risk occupation as Jinyiwei, it can be passed down for six generations without error, which shows that God destined the Lu family to produce a capable person.

Lu Heng was the talented person who gathered the heavens and the right places and people, and soared into the sky when Emperor Zhengde had no heirs and King Xing came to Beijing to ascend the throne.

Speaking of the origins of Lu Heng and the emperor, we have to start with the first emperor Zhengde. Now this Emperor Jiajing is not a descendant of the previous emperor, but a cousin. Because Emperor Zhengde did not leave any children, nor did he have any brothers, the throne fell to Jiajing. The Lu family managed the guardhouse and trained soldiers in Anlu for generations. Later, King Xingxian, the father of Emperor Jiajing, was entrusted to Anlu, Lu Heng's father Lu Song was transferred to Xingwang's mansion as a guard, and Lu Heng's mother, Mrs. Fan, also joined the mansion. When she was a nursing mother, she was feeding the prince at that time and the emperor today. Lu Heng has been in and out of the palace since he was a child because of family relationships, and he and his son have been friends since childhood. The relationship is like Fu Tingzhou and Wang Yanqing.

Xingxian Wang Ying died of illness and passed the throne to the heir. Two years later, the pie fell from the sky, and the throne fell to the young Xingwang. King Xing entered the capital to become emperor, and the next year the name was changed to Jiajing, and the Lu family came to the capital to serve as the emperor's close guard. Lu Heng's father was mediocre, but Lu Heng was a stubborn stubborn man. He came to the capital at the age of eleven, and was admitted to the martial arts jinshi exam at the age of eighteen. At the age of three, he was already the actual commander of Jin Yiwei.

Even if he is in a high position at a young age, what is even more frightening is that the emperor still trusts him.

If he was eyeing Fu Tingzhou, it would be really troublesome.

Thinking of Lu Heng, Fu Tingzhou's face became gloomy, and his good mood was swept away. Fu Tingzhou patted the back of Wang Yanqing's hand and said, "I just remind you that it's nothing special. You don't have to worry. You haven't been out for a long time. Do you want to go out and relax?"

Wang Yanqing looked at him quietly. Just now, Fu Tingzhou said not to go out at will. Sure enough, the next moment, Fu Tingzhou said, "Don't worry, I'm with me. My mother made an appointment to go to Dajue Temple to offer incense and offer lamp oil to my grandfather by the way."

When Wang Yanqing heard the last sentence, she knew she couldn't refuse. She paused and asked, "Who did the old lady have an appointment with?"

Fu Tingzhou's brows moved, and he rarely felt a little embarrassed: "The Marquis of Yongping."

Wang Yanqing's heart suddenly became cold. Since Fu Tingzhou came in, she felt like she was soaked in an ice lake, sinking constantly. Now, she was pressed underwater, and she couldn't even catch her last breath.

What does Fu Tingzhou mean? Let her meet the future mistress in advance, or does Mrs. Yongping Hou feel uneasy and want to beat the concubine on her daughter's behalf?

Wang Yanqing was quiet for a moment, then suddenly pursed his lips and smiled, and said, "Second brother, you and sister-in-law rarely see each other. When your husband and wife meet, what should I do to make fun of you?"

Before Wang Yanqing could finish speaking, he felt his wrist being squeezed heavily. Wang Yanqing's face was cold, she didn't cry out in pain, and she didn't lower her head.

This is the first time that Wang Yanqing has shown such clear dissatisfaction, and Fu Tingzhou was also provoked. He stood up with his sleeves folded, and said in a condescending manner, "The day after tomorrow, Qingqing, don't forget."

After he finished speaking, he didn't care whether Wang Yanqing's wrist was seriously injured or not, he turned around and left.

The sound of regular and powerful footsteps faded away, and he was so engrossed that he didn't even notice that it was Wang Yanqing's birthday.

Wang Yanqing turned her face away, looking at the white snow that was trampled into blackness outside the window, her tears suddenly burst.

Hou Ye was obviously displeased when he left. Wang Yanqing may not have called anyone in for a long time. Wang Yanqing sat for an unknown time, and when her tears dried up and her eyes hurt, she stood up and walked towards the Bisha Cabinet.

After many years of practicing martial arts, it is useful. Wang Yanqing opened the box and did not make a sound. She calmly put clothes and pieces of silver in the bag, so calm that even she was afraid.

Perhaps, she had already rehearsed all of this in her mind, rehearsing it countless times, so that she could now do it mechanically without thinking.

After all, the Fu family is kind to her. Without the Fu family, she would never be able to study and practice martial arts. Father saved the life of the old marquis, and the old marquis gave her ten years of stability, which should have been evened out long ago. As for her liking Fu Tingzhou, it was an accident, but there was such a man in her life, strong, heroic, cool and ambitious, how could she not like him? But no matter how much she likes it, she can't make herself a concubine.

The relationship between her and Fu Tingzhou is so far, so far, let everything stop at the best time. At least in the future, when you look back, everyone will look young and beautiful.

Wang Yanqing was hesitant when she packaged it up softly and put it in Lu Yin and the household post.

As long as she takes this step, she will never be able to look back. During her years in the capital, she and Fu Tingzhou had been in a relationship for ten years, and there was no room to look back.

She doesn't regret it, but she's still not reconciled. The maid is right, a woman can have several decades in her life. She left her best youth in Zhenyuan Hou's mansion, and now she runs away without even seeing the face of her opponent. It's too useless.

She at least sees what the woman who can make him tempted looks like.

Wang Yanqing gradually let go of his hand and pressed the packed baggage into the bottom of the box. She is not a helpless boudoir lady, she knows how to escape from the capital without knowing it, even now if she wants to. But she had the last trace of weakness in her heart. She compromised with herself, thinking that as long as she came back from Dajue Temple and saw the true face of his future wife, she would leave.

Just treat it as her and the capital, and this bizarre aristocratic world, say their last goodbyes.
