Chapter 545 Why
In the afternoon, the sky became more and more gloomy, the clouds became thicker and thicker, and the wind blew on the face like an ice skate.
It's snowing.
One after another, Zhang Fu was all alone.
The cemetery man looked up, stomped his feet, hurriedly put on his coir raincoat, grabbed the oil-paper umbrella in the corner, and ran into the cemetery.
"My lord, it's snowing!"
"Is it snowing?"
Zhang Fu didn't realize it. He raised his head, and an umbrella was covering his head. He stretched out his hand, and the snowflakes fell on his palm, crystal clear, like Rou'er's tears falling on his heart.
Standing up staggeringly, almost slipped to the ground, but was held tightly by the old man watching the grave.
"Hey, my leg is numb." Zhang Fu smiled self-deprecatingly.
On the slope, Zhang Jin and his son had rushed over and helped him go out.
Zhang Fu asked Zhang Jin to give some rewards to the grave watcher, and the three of them walked out of the grave.
The grave watcher looked at the silver beans in his hand with some joy, and put them into his bosom with great care.
Turned his head and looked, although he didn't understand the words on the tombstone, but he knew that this tomb belonged to the Duke Yuan's wife, and the small one next to it belonged to the eldest lady.
The poor lady is only six years old, so she went with her mother.
died young without even a tombstone. Fortunately, it is next to my mother, and there is a mother to take care of me below, so I can avoid the end of being a lonely ghost.
Zhang Fu walked a few steps, the numbness was gone, he slowed down, turned his head to look at the cemetery, and told Zhang Jin: "After the New Year, let someone push Ning's grave."
"yes."
Zhang Jin nodded in agreement. The eldest lady of his family is not dead, the grave should have been leveled long ago, nothing will add bad luck to the eldest lady.
"Zhang Liang left?" Zhang Fu asked again.
"Yes. His mother packed his bags early in the morning and sent him out. He took everything the master gave him." Zhang Jin replied.
Zhang Fu nodded: "I didn't think carefully. He should be allowed to leave after the new year. There may be no boat going west."
"Master, don't worry, if Zhang Liang has enough money, he will also bring people. As long as you have money, you don't have to worry about not having a boat. And I told him, if you don't have a boat, you can go on land quickly, and wait until the next day." For the city, take a boat when you have a boat."
"Also."
Zhang Fu is so worried, he wonders if his father-in-law will forgive him.
For so many years, he was negligent because he didn't dare to think about it, and he didn't want to think about it. He sent letters and things to his father-in-law every year, but there was no reply. He should have asked.
Back on the carriage, seeing the master trembling slightly, Zhang Jin hastily put a big cloak on Zhang Fu, moved the brazier in front of him, and poured him a cup of hot tea.
Zhang Fu held it, and the warmth came from the palm of his hand, which made him feel warmer.
Sipped a sip of tea, staring at the shaking car wall in a daze.
Zhang Jin sighed in his heart, not to mention the Duke of the State, but he is still unbelievable. The story of the storyteller in the storybook actually happened around me.
didn't bother him either, but quietly fiddled with the charcoal in the brazier.
After a while, I heard the voice of the master: "Tell me, why did the mansion say that Madam had a difficult delivery?"
Zhang Jin was stunned. He didn't dare to respond to these words, nor did he dare to think about them. If you think too much, it will be scary.
Zhang Fu probably didn't expect to hear his answer, so he said to himself: "Sister Ning was so clingy to me when she was a child, she insisted on sleeping with me with her pillow in her arms at night, saying that she was afraid of sleeping alone...every time I go out, she chases after me. When we got to the gate, wept with tears and snot all over our face while holding the door frame..."
"Why didn't she come to me?" Zhang Fu recalled the meeting with Huo Xi all these years.
It's not that the father and daughter have never met before.
He recalled that in Peiping, he went out on an expedition and led troops out of the city gate. He saw her hiding in the crowd, and she looked at him with big eyes, complex and difficult to discern.
When Zhang Fu thinks about it now, his heart still hurts. His daughter was looking at him, the way she used to look at him when she was seeing him out.
It was just that at the time, I was surprised that she ran so far as a woman and showed her face in public, so I was not happy. He frowned as he looked at her.
Now that I think about it, how sad his daughter must have been at that time.
Zhang Fu was so distressed that he throbbed.
"Why didn't she come to me?" Zhang Fu's voice was lost, his eyes filled with tears, "Does she not want me as a father?"
His little girl, don't you want him?
Zhang Fu felt a severe headache. His hands were trembling, and the water in the teacup was shaking.
Zhang Jin saw it, and hurriedly reached out to take it.
Sighed, "Master, our family declared that the eldest lady is gone, and even built a grave for her. How do you tell her to find you. Will the master believe what she said?"
"I believe it, I believe it!" Zhang Fu nodded again and again, why didn't he believe it? He believed every word his daughter said.
"But master, we seldom go back to the capital once a year, and I'm afraid that the eldest lady will not dare to find the master."
Why not, Zhang Jin dare not say.
Although he didn't know the reason, he also wanted to know why the eldest lady didn't come to the master, and what happened in the first place, so that the mansion said that the eldest lady was gone.
Let the young lady hug the newly born young master, she would rather hide in the market than come looking for them.
The mansion has been lying to the sky for ten years, and the master and he are all kept in the dark. Now, Mrs. Wu and the Wu family are still looking for them and want to hunt them down.
Zhang Jin didn't dare to think about it.
was silent. Finally couldn't bear it, reminded: "Master, now the Wu family, as well as the dark pavilion, are looking for the eldest lady and the young master. The dark pavilion has also been ordered, and it is better to kill by mistake than let it go. Master, should we , to meet the people from the Dark Pavilion?"
Zhang Fu narrowed his eyes.
Whoa, he almost forgot about it.
"The Wu family wants to move them, but they have to ask me if I agree!" Zhang Fu swept away the decline, and his whole figure seemed to come alive again.
Let Zhang Jin watch, the master at this time is like a generalissimo planning strategies on the battlefield. I am very pleased.
"You go in person, find the leader of the dark pavilion, and ask him to withdraw this order. If you don't want to disappear from the capital, you need to be cautious in your words and deeds, and you need to send someone to protect my two children. If something happens to them, I must Pull them out personally. Even if I chase them to the ends of the earth and exhaust my life, I will surely pacify them!"
"Yes. The little one will do it himself."
Zhang Jin was greatly relieved. However, the master only mentioned the Wu family, so what about Mrs. Wu? Thinking of Master Xie, Zhang Jin pursed his lips. Young master Xie is also a legitimate son now. Still the eldest son.
Then what will the young master do? Zhang Jin frowned again.
On the first day of the Lunar New Year, according to customs, this is a day for family reunion. On this day, no one will go out to visit.
According to the distance of relatives, starting from the second day of the Lunar New Year, first the married daughters start to visit their natal homes, and then other relatives visit each other.
Hearing the servants said that someone was looking for at the door, Huo Xi was stunned.
Holding an oil-paper umbrella to the gate, looking at the man covered in snow, seeing him covered in snowflakes, standing at the door, looking straight at her.
Huo Xi stopped walking.
