Fu Mingsu felt his teeth clench after hearing Yi Jixuan's guess: "Hiss... Brother-in-law, if you guessed right, then you really have the most vicious heart of a woman."
This woman is usually easy to bully, but when she gets really vicious, even men will feel ashamed of themselves.
As the two were speculating, the servants of the Fu family came running hurriedly behind them.
"Young Master—Young Master—"
Fu Mingsuo turned around when he heard the shouting, and it turned out to be Xiaoliuzi.
Xiao Liuzi ran to Fu Mingsuo, out of breath: "Young Master, Third Young Master..." Before he finished speaking, Fu Mingsuo showed joy and excitement: "The Third Young Master is back! Haha, the Third Young Master is back! Brother-in-law, I'm going to go back to the Prime Minister's Mansion and lie down first. Tell Mingrui that the Third Young Master is back!"
"Oh! Minghui is back. Great! You should go quickly! By the way, let my sister give him the gift I brought for my third brother." Yi Jixuan patted Fu Mingsuo on the back.
Fu Mingsui nodded happily and immediately followed Xiaoliuzi back home.
Yi Jixuan smiled slightly at Fu Mingsu's quickly leaving back, turned around, put his hands behind his back, turned the mutton-fat jade ring on his left thumb with his right hand, and murmured softly: "The Fu family will soon become royal relatives, hum..." Yi Jixuan's black eyes flashed with a gleam of light. His sister really thought she had not married the wrong person!
A long string of firecrackers had been hung at the gate of the East City Xiangfu. Fu Minghui's mother, Yao, stood in front of the gate, eagerly waiting for her beloved son to return.
In the courtyard inside the gate, Fu Kun was standing there waiting impatiently, with Fu Mingsui's mother Fang and Fu Mingrui's mother Zhao beside him.
The two ladies had different styles, but both had peaceful expressions.
Just then, someone shouted, "The Third Young Master is back! The Third Young Master is back!"
At the end of the road, a young man on horseback came towards us, looking heroic and handsome.
"Hurry up and set off the firecrackers!" the old housekeeper shouted excitedly, and the servants immediately lit the firecrackers in a hurry. The whole East Street was immediately filled with the "crackling" sound of lively firecrackers, and those who lived next door all stuck their heads out to watch.
The horse was getting closer and closer. The young man on the horse was wearing shiny armor and a helmet, looking very heroic. Even though the helmet covered the sides of his face, it could not hide his bright and shining eyes.
He jumped off his horse and immediately knelt down before his mother: "Mother!"
"Hui'er!" Yao hugged her son tightly, tears streaming down her face. She missed him so much.
Fu Kun couldn't hold back any longer, so he strode out of the door, wanting to see what the third brother looked like after not seeing him for three years.
"Mom!" Fu Minghui stood up and stood in front of Yao with great dignity. Yao looked at him with tears in her eyes: "You have grown so tall, I can't recognize you anymore."
Fu Minghui smiled shyly, revealing the shy expression of a young boy.
"Hui'er!" Fu Kun shouted. Fu Minghui heard it and immediately went to his father and knelt down: "My son greets my father!" Fu Minghui respected and doted on Fu Kun very much. It was his own idea to go to the military camp. If it was someone else's family, they would definitely not allow it. Rich families all love their sons. How could they send their precious sons to the battlefield
Once entering the battlefield, life and death are uncertain, so few high-ranking officials and nobles would agree to let their sons join the army.
But Fu Kun made arrangements without hesitation and did not allow anyone else to take care of his son. This is how he forged such a heroic young general.
Fu Kun nodded with relief. In the past three years, Fu Minghui has grown a lot taller and stronger. When the third son was sent to the military camp, the third wife cried for a long time, thinking that he was cruel and didn't want this son anymore.
The third child was the one with the worst health among the three children at the beginning, but look at him now, he is strong and powerful!
The difference between those who have served in the military and those who have not. Although Fu Mingsu and Fu Mingrui also practiced martial arts, when standing next to Fu Minghui, they still look more like weak scholars.
"Third brother—third brother—" Fu Mingsuo also hurried over amid the anxious shouts.
When Fu Minghui saw his elder brother, he immediately went to greet him excitedly. The two brothers hugged each other excitedly. It was a joyful occasion in front of the Fu family today!
After the firecrackers were burned out, the Fu family fell into a busy state. Naturally, they had to hold a banquet today when the third young master returned.
That night, Fu Minghui changed into casual clothes in his room. He was only seventeen years old, and he was in his best youth. His hair was tied up high, his braids were vertical, his body was straight, and he was handsome. Fu Minghui inherited Yao's broad eyebrows and eyes, eyebrows like distant mountains, eyes like stars, a full forehead, a slightly pointed chin, a standard small oval face, and a real beautiful boy.
This once weak and beautiful young man has now become more masculine and brave after joining the army, which is enough to make the young ladies in the capital fall in love with him at first sight.
Looking at Fu Minghui, who seemed to have completely changed, Yao Shi realized that the prime minister's decision was right. If it weren't for the three years of military life, her Hui'er would not have grown into such a perfect man.
"I didn't expect the clothes to be too small. You've grown beyond your imagination." Yao happily adjusted Fu Minghui's slightly tight clothes. She didn't expect Fu Minghui to be so strong. When he put on the clothes, his chest bulged, making the clothes look tight.
Fu Minghui smiled shyly: "Mom, did I surprise you?"
"You have more than surprised your mother." Fu Mingsui came in with a smile, with Yi Jilan beside him. In Yi Jilan's hand was a brocade box, which was a gift from Yi Jixuan to Fu Minghui.
Fu Mingsuo walked up to Fu Minghui, his eyes filled with sighs and pride: "You surprised every one of us. I still remember that you were the thinnest one at the beginning. Now look at you, you are almost bigger than your brothers!" Fu Mingsuo patted Fu Minghui's strong chest.
"Come, put on the jade pendant your eldest brother-in-law gave you." Yi Jilan opened the brocade box, and inside was pure white flawless mutton-fat jade, "White jade goes well with the young man!"
Fu Minghui smiled shyly, and his jade-like face flushed slightly: "Thank you, sister-in-law!" Yao took it for him and put the jade pendant on him. As expected, Fu Minghui was as handsome as the moon and as graceful as jade. The more Yao looked at him, the more proud she felt. Her son was getting more and more handsome.
Fu Minghui also admired these two brothers very much. He was a little anxious when he didn't see Fu Mingrui: "Big brother, where is the second brother?"
Fu Mingsu smiled: "Your second brother is handling a big case. The trial will start tomorrow, so he can come back."
"Really!" Fu Minghui's black eyes immediately sparkled, he was definitely a fanboy of his second brother, "What can I go and see? I've also heard a lot of stories about my second brother in the military camp!"
“Hahaha—” Fu Mingsui looked at Fu Minghui with a smile, “Okay, if you go, the second brother will be very happy too!”
"Very good!"
The Fu brothers are reunited and are very happy.
Some are happy and some are sad.
Tonight, the Huang family in the eastern suburbs was in a state of gloom. Most of the family members were taken away, and even the round table was not full for dinner. The arrival of the yamen runners also made the servants panic. In the past half a day, the news that the Huang family members were taken away by the Eight Gates has spread throughout the eastern suburbs, and people have pointed fingers at them. It is difficult for the Huang family members to raise their heads and go out. (To be continued)
