Chapter 5
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 a relative between generations, and everything went beyond his old wife, son and daughter-in-law, and gave it 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, they took a nap in the same room. Wang Yanqing grew more and 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.
