After entering the front hall, Yue Wei dragged his wife and children and magistrate Fu to apologize, and scolded his son in front of his in-laws. Of course, it is impossible to scold his wife. Although he wanted to scold him, he could only Cursing in private, in front of his son and outsiders, he still wants to give his wife some face.
County magistrate Fu didn't say he would accept it, he didn't say he wouldn't accept it, he just sighed again and again, looked at Yue Dalang and then at his wife, sighed again, with a perplexed look on his face.
In the end, he simply took Yue Wei's hand and said, "Dear family, why don't we go talk in the study."
Mrs. Fu also took the opportunity to grab old Mrs. Yue, and said with a smirk: "Then I will entertain my mother-in-law, master go."
Yue Wei felt strange in his heart, so he followed County Magistrate Fu to the study.
He said with guilt on his face: "Brother Ziliang, Yue is really ashamed of your entrustment..."
County Magistrate Fu sighed and waved his hands: "That's all, that's all, Brother Guizhong, please sit down."
Seeing that magistrate Fu finally let go, Yue Wei quietly heaved a sigh of relief.
County Magistrate Fu said: "When I first heard about this, I was really anxious. I only have two daughters, and my second mother is the smartest one. I always hold them in my hand, but I never thought..."
The shame on Yue Wei's face was even heavier.
"I wished I could take her home, but Erniang persuaded me, saying that the in-laws are good for marrying two surnames. If it is because of her, it would not be beautiful for the two families to have feuds, and you were not at home when the incident happened. , no wonder you."
Yue Wei didn't nod, he felt a little uneasy.
County magistrate Fu said: "It's just that I know brother Guizhong is a human being, but it's hard to explain to my wife. She always loves children, and Wenhua and his second sister are also the closest. I'm caught in the middle, alas—"
Yue Wei: "..."
What could Yue Wei do, he could only nod his head, and sighed: "It's not my brother and sister's fault, it's my Yue family's fault, after all, Erniang has been wronged."
County magistrate Fu shook his hand and said, "Forget it, let me tell you, let them make trouble about women and children. Come on, let's drink, drink." A look of helplessness.
Yue Wei hesitated for a moment, feeling that this was not in line with his perception of magistrate Fu, but this was indeed his consistent thinking and practice.
He felt that women should take good care of the back house, so that they could fight in the court with peace of mind.
County magistrate Fu had already poured wine for Yue Wei with the jug, and the chief attendant quietly brought over the appetizers, saying that the front hall was still peaceful, and the wife and the young masters did not fight.
The two masters in the room exhaled at the same time, then looked at each other, and couldn't help laughing.
The atmosphere relaxed immediately, County Magistrate Fu poured another glass of wine for Yue Wei, and asked with a smile: "Brother Guizhong, I just arrived in the capital, and I heard that the situation in the capital has changed on the way here, I wonder if brother Guizhong is okay?"
Yue Wei hurriedly said, "Why, Brother Ziliang heard about it on the way?"
Magistrate Fu nodded, "It's a big deal. I also heard a passing businessman mention it on the road, saying that the King of Yizhou has now been imprisoned. I was worried at that time, after all, brother Guizhong is now the censor. "
Yue Wei sighed, "It's true that the situation has changed recently. We have followed the rules and dare not make mistakes. Many people have been implicated in the matter of the King of Yizhou, and even three of us were taken from Yushitai."
Magistrate Fu was surprised, "Why?"
"One person was too deeply involved with the Yizhou king, and the other two were sent to the Yizhou king because they kept writing, and the queen mother found out their past stains and took them down, so everyone in the court is in danger at this time. "
After all, no one can guarantee that their hands and feet are absolutely clean. Once they behave too much, the Queen Mother and the Yizhou King's family will target them, and the attack power is still terrifying.
County Magistrate Fu remained silent for a while, "Brother Guizhong, you..."
Yue Wei laughed and said, "I'm just following the crowd, following the Shangguan's papers every day to ask for the King of Yizhou, it's not eye-catching."
He said: "I have a low official position and I have only just come to the capital. Although my foundation is not stable, I have nothing to rely on."
Except for recent family affairs.
Thinking of this, Yue Wei smiled awkwardly at magistrate Fu.
Magistrate Fu naturally understood that the matter of his family was not a big one, but it was not a small one.
Not so much because, even according to the heaviest official rules, he would not be questioned or anything; not too little because, the higher-ups were able to suspend his position on the grounds of lax family management.
Officer, it is easy to stop, but difficult to resume.
But for a poor family like the Yue family, once suspended, it is equivalent to being taken away from office, and it is too difficult to get back.
For someone as ambitious as Yue Wei, it was obviously a great difficulty.
County magistrate Fu raised his glass to drink, covered the smile on his lips, and began to discuss the matter of King Yizhou.
The atmosphere in the study was congenial, but not in the vestibule.
As soon as County Magistrate Fu and Yue Wei left, Mrs. Fu glanced coldly at Mrs. Yue.
The reason why old lady Yue was promoted to old lady was because her son married a daughter-in-law. In fact, she was only two or three years older than Mrs. Fu.
Originally, her husband was two ranks higher than County Magistrate Fu, and then County Magistrate Fu was promoted to Sima, but her husband was also transferred to Beijing at the same time. Based on the calculation that Beijing officials are more noble than foreign officials, they are still one and a half ranks higher than County Magistrate Fu.
But who would have expected that less than half a year later, magistrate Fu was promoted to another level and became a long history
The two parents' families became equal, but Yue Wei was still a Beijing official, and still looked a bit nobler than County Magistrate Fu.
But at this time, the Yue family was at a loss, and Mrs. Yue's confidence could no longer hold up. Under Mrs. Fu's cold gaze, Mrs. Yue pulled the corners of her mouth stiffly, and apologized again after stumbling.
Of course, she couldn't say that she was ruthless and coveted her grandson but disregarded her daughter-in-law's life. What she said was that she didn't take good care of her daughter-in-law, which made Fu Wenyun difficult to give birth.
He also talked about the difficulty of giving birth to a woman. At that time, the situation was critical, and the Wen Po who had been invited repeatedly said that she would not be able to survive. She wanted to save Fu Wenyun's only blood in a hurry...
Mrs. Fu listened to her ramblings, wishing to spit on her, but she endured it when she thought that her daughter would be her daughter-in-law in the future.
But she didn't dare to show weakness. She also talked about the difficulty of the woman, and also said that it was not easy to give birth. She said that when she gave birth to Fu Wenhua, she almost had a dystocia.
Mrs. Fu wiped her tears and cried: "My mother-in-law said at the time that there are often children, but there is only one daughter-in-law. Even if I can't have one, the master will always be there. When the time comes, I will take a concubine and give birth to the child and hold it under my knees." Treat it as your own, and never give up your daughter-in-law for an unborn child."
Mrs. Fu rolled her eyelids and glanced at Old Mrs. Yue, who had a pale face, and stabbed: "Our Fu family is not the kind of ruthless and ungrateful generation, and we will definitely not be able to do such a thing."
Yue Lan on the side lowered her head deeply.
Mrs. Fu continued: "Who's child didn't grow up in the palm of your hand? The second mother grew up from such a small age to such a big one. I don't know how much effort I and the master have put into it, and I don't ask my mother-in-law to treat her like my own daughter." , I just hope that I can treat her as a person."
Old Madam Yue's entire face froze, she shook her lips and said: "My mother-in-law is joking, I really love Erniang, and treat her like a daughter..."
That being said, we can't control what everyone thinks in their hearts, and Mrs. Fu didn't tell her apart, and decided to follow what the master said, let Wenhua find a chance to ask Yue Lan out for another beating tomorrow.
Whoever's child is distressed, it depends on whether you are in pain or not.
Thinking of this, Mrs. Fu took Mrs. Yue's hand to wipe her tears and said, "I feel relieved once my mother-in-law said this, and I also treat my son-in-law like a son in my heart."
snort!
