When Fu Tingye heard this, he frowned and said nothing.
Mrs. Fu knows very well that Fu Tingye is no longer the yellow-mouthed kid who was hanging around her knees. He cannot be coaxed with just a few words.
She smiled faintly and said with a loving mother's heart: "As a first-class general of Da Qi, you have been fighting in the field all year round, and you have killed countless souls under the sword. You are already destined to be a great evil. As a mother, I can only eat fast at home and chant Buddha to pray for your safety. As for your wife, I don’t expect her to come from a famous family, but I also hope that she will be a well-off person who can resolve your anger and keep the family peaceful and smooth... "
Fu Tingye was silent for a while and said, "Let mother worry about it."
He expressed his gratitude but did not agree to anything.
Mrs. Fu tentatively said: "If you really like it, you might as well ask me the horoscope, and I will go find a senior monk to take a look. As long as it is not too serious, let's spend some money and spend money to do a ritual to resolve it. Already…”
Fu Tingye considered everything in his words.
In fact, all she had to do was make Hua Qingxue's horoscope more serious when the time came. Kefu Kezi had a vicious life. She didn't believe that Fu Tingye would dare to marry him!
Mrs. Fu didn't know that because of amnesia, Hua Qingxue didn't know her horoscope at all...
"... There's no rush." Fu Tingye replied, "It's a national mourning now, let's talk about it later."
Mrs. Fu said softly: "You are not young now. Although it is a national mourning period, you might as well consider the heirs of the Fu family in advance..."
Fu Tingye raised his eyes to look at Mrs. Fu, his eyes calm and restrained, "Let mother worry, my son will remember it."
Mrs. Fu smiled and said, "Your cousin was frightened today. Go and see her. You have hardly seen each other in these years, so don't get angry."
Fu Tingye's long eyebrows frowned inaudibly, and he said "hmm" absently.
After the mother and son finished talking, Fu Tingye went to the study room in the outer courtyard.
When passing by Cheng Wanmiao's yard, she didn't even pause at all, and just walked away.
When he got to the study, he remembered that he had promised Mrs. Fu to visit Cheng Wanmiao.
But a little girl who is still in her infancy and has no illness or pain, what is there to see? Fu Tingye was not in the mood to coax the child. He put Cheng Wanmiao's matter behind him and began to read the information on the Daliao envoy that the spies had found recently.
That night, Cheng Wanmiao had a high fever as the doctor said.
She was lying on the bed, feeling cold and hot at times, feeling groggy and extremely uncomfortable.
In a daze, she could feel the maid helping her wipe her sweat and change clothes, sometimes giving her water, sometimes giving her medicine. She also heard Mrs. Fu's scolding voice, blaming the maid for not taking good care of her.
Cheng Wanmiao thought in a daze, luckily it was still too late... The old lady still loved her, and she did not agree to the Xu family's marriage, so it was still too late...
After sleeping, the temperature dropped slightly, but I still had a low fever.
She felt thirsty and wanted to call the maid, but she faintly heard several maids in the room talking.
"... I can't believe that General Fu looks so good-looking after shaving his beard."
"Yeah, I used to think it was scary just looking at it from a distance..."
"Yesterday at the flower banquet, several ladies peeked at the general. Some of them blushed, hee hee hee..."
"Hey, why don't you think our cousin wants to marry General Fu? Let me tell you, the general is rich, powerful, and good-looking. There is no better candidate than the general."
"Perhaps he is afraid that the general will be too rough?... I feel that men who have been on the battlefield are very fierce. I don't know if they will beat the lady after getting married..."
"Yes, yes! After Mrs. Kitchen Wang's son married Xiaohui, he beat Xiaohui every time he didn't get his way!"
"Stop talking nonsense! My mother said that the general is a hero who is upright and upright. He only fights enemies! He never beats his wife!"
"... Yes, I saw that the general was so gentle to the Chinese girl next to him yesterday... "
Speaking of Hua Qingxue, the maids had more and more topics to talk about. She was the legendary Lady Sibing!
A woman actually made a powerful weapon that made Daliao fearful. It was like a story from a fairy tale.
The maids were chattering non-stop. Cheng Wanmiao listened and was secretly frightened.
She lost consciousness after seeing Fu Tingye yesterday. How could she bother to look at the woman next to him
Is he very gentle to Si Bing's wife? What is their relationship? What to do... what should she do...
Cheng Wanmiao was anxious, but she had nothing to do, because the cold wind had tortured her for almost half a month, making her unable to think about these things anymore.
…
Hua Qingxue has received some invitations one after another since the flower banquet.
This poetry party, that tea party, there is no wedding banquet during the national mourning period, people always need some entertainment, so occasionally small gatherings are held.
But there were too many invitations, and they were all from people she didn't know, so Hua Qingxue didn't want to go.
She had never dealt with this situation before and subconsciously looked for Fu Tingye's help.
"If I don't go, will I offend anyone?" Hua Qingxue asked him cautiously.
Fu Tingye glanced at it and threw it aside. "You will only offend people if you go, unless you go through them all without missing a thing."
Hua Qingxue's face turned pale with fright, and she shook her head quickly, "How is it possible to go there all at once?" It would be exhausting!
"Don't worry about it. These people just want to build relationships and test your true identity." Fu Tingye said, "But it's boring to stay at home every day. The maple leaves on Yuxiang Mountain in Shengjing are red these days. I'll take you there. have a look."
"Huh? Today?" Hua Qingxue was stunned, "But I have to go out soon."
Fu Tingye was also stunned for a moment, "Where are you going?"
Hua Qingxue smiled sheepishly and took out an invitation from the pile of invitations on the table, "Mrs. Lu invited me to be a guest at her home..."
"Mrs. Lu?" Fu Tingye frowned, "Which Mrs. Lu? You are not familiar with the place in the capital. Don't go to other people's homes if you have nothing to do. There are many twists and turns in the stomachs of these people in the capital. I'm afraid you will be plotted at any time. have no idea."
"No." Hua Qingxue explained in a low voice, "It's Lu Zhengqing... Doctor Lu's wife, she invited me to come and sit down..."
Therefore, the person who actually invited her was not Mrs. Lu, but Lu Zhengqing.
It's just that if Lu Zhengqing invited her, it would be too conspicuous. The interactions between the female family members were much more low-key.
As expected, Fu Tingye quickly grasped the key point, frowned and asked, "Why is Lu Zhengqing looking for you? You are not allowed to go."
Hua Qingxue: "..."
She wanted to ask, why don't you let me go
However, she silently glanced at the servants and guards invited by Fu Tingye, then silently glanced at Fu Tingye's ugly expression, and felt that it would be better to smooth things over...
A woman must be financially independent. Now, apart from the fact that this house was given by Li Jingnan, everything she eats and wears belongs to him, which makes her even less confident to speak in front of him...
In fact, she has money.
But Fu Tingye never gave her a chance to spend her own money.
How embarrassing.
"Mr. Lu's medical skills are very good. He treated me last time, but I haven't expressed my gratitude yet..." Hua Qingxue thought about the words and said slowly, "I don't have anything to give, just some mirrors. I want to give them to you." Mrs. Lu, by the way... you can also ask Dr. Lu to help me with a follow-up consultation... "
Fu Tingye thought for a moment and said, "I'll go with you."
Hua Qingxue: "Huh?"
Is this possible? But it seems like they didn’t invite you, General!
Fu Tingye has already decisively ordered: "Come here, prepare the carriage!"
Hua Qingxue: "..."
Fu Tingye turned around and looked at her, "What are you doing standing there? Let's go. Since we have to go for a follow-up consultation, we should go back early."
…
Hua Qingxue felt mixed and followed Fu Tingye to Lu's house.
Being an imperial doctor is a very glamorous profession, but no matter how glamorous it is, it still looks ordinary when thrown into the crowd of dignitaries in the capital.
The Lu family lives in a house with three entrances and three exits. There are no servants and the place is not big, but the layout is very interesting.
When the doorman led the two of them in, Hua Qingxue saw parallel bars standing in the yard for physical exercise. Lu Zhengqing had obviously made them according to modern sports equipment.
What is he doing this for? Do you have to do a few pull-ups in the yard every morning
Hua Qingxue couldn't help but smile knowingly when she thought of that scene.
Fu Tingye glanced at her, wondering what she was enjoying.
Mrs. Lu came out of the back room and was a little surprised to see a man and a woman in the yard. She knew that her husband was going to entertain Mrs. Si Bing, but she didn't know that Mrs. Si Bing would bring someone over...
And this man... is tall and mighty, with a strong sense of presence.
Hua Qingxue introduced sheepishly: "This is General Fu, Fu Tingye."
Mrs. Lu’s eyes widened in shock!
After all, she is a stay-at-home woman. To her, figures like Fu Tingye are just legends. But he actually appeared in her yard today? ! !
Husband, come on! The general is coming to our house! So scary!
Fu Tingye nodded slightly as a courtesy.
Hua Qingxue handed the prepared gift box to Mrs. Lu, "This is a small gift..."
Mrs. Lu suddenly woke up, hurriedly took the gift box, bowed to the two of them, and said, "I'm sorry, please sit inside. My husband is preparing food on the stove and will be here soon."
Hua Qingxue and Fu Tingye both looked shocked—
"Doctor Lu is in the kitchen?!"
Mrs. Lu had already expected such questions, and nodded with a smile, "He said he wanted to let Miss Hua taste the taste of his hometown, so he went to the kitchen to prepare it early in the morning."
Fu Tingye asked suspiciously: "Does Lu Zhengqing know where Miss Hua's hometown is?"
When Mrs. Lu heard this, her expression changed slightly, and she realized that she had actually let the matter slip!
"You're mistaken. What Mrs. Lu meant... was that she wanted me to try the dishes from Imperial Physician Lu's hometown." Hua Qingxue quickly explained and winked at Mrs. Lu.
"Ah... yes, that's the case. Every time guests come to the house, my husband will let the guests taste the dishes from his hometown..." Mrs. Lu took over the conversation and echoed.
Fu Tingye frowned and looked at Mrs. Lu and then at Hua Qingxue. He still felt something was strange, but he finally didn't ask any further.
Hua Qingxue laughed dryly and pretended to be nonchalant, "Mrs. Lu, go to the kitchen and help Dr. Lu. Don't worry about us. Let's sit here for a while."
Mrs. Lu was also worried that she would say the wrong thing again, so she nodded and said, "Okay, I'll go take a look... You two will have tea first. I'm sorry for neglecting you."
When Mrs. Lu hurriedly exited, Hua Qingxue stretched out her hand and pinched Fu Tingye's arm, scolding: "General, we are here as guests, you scared people!"
