Chapter 166 Current events flash in three or five years
Time flies by.
In 1924, Feng Yu was forced to have no choice but to marry a girl from a scholarly family with the help of his aunt and father. She was very handsome and had a gentle and obedient personality. Originally, her family was a fifth-grade clerk in the Qing Dynasty.
, which still has some foundation.
The girl's name is Shu Xiu, and she is the only daughter of the Wang family. It is really difficult for ordinary people to get a wife from the Feng family.
Wang Shuxiu was a well-educated and reasonable person, and was deeply liked by everyone in the Feng family. Due to the current situation, the wedding was not too grand. What the Feng family wanted was not the process, but the result, and all they wanted was a big fat boy.
Feng Yu felt that he had become a commodity and was doing business. The Wang family originally took the official route. Even after the fall of the Qing Dynasty, there were still many colleagues in the shogunate. This family chose the right one for the purpose of Feng Qing. Feng Laizi was in the world of pirates and Jianghu.
Even though he had some reputation, if he could have a relative from an official family now, the road ahead for the Feng family would probably not be any easier.
Feng Yu treated Wang Shuxiu with respect and treated her like a guest. He did not want to marry this wife, but his elders had no choice but to wishful thinking. Feng Yu thought that since the girl has married him, he should just treat her well.
In those few years, the outside world changed rapidly. Zhang Xiuxian and Feng Yu wrote several letters to exchange information, explaining their respective lives. The war raged for three months, and letters from home were worth ten thousand yuan. Only two letters came back in several years. Zhang Xiuxian said that he was working in the north.
After winning the battle, he also said he wanted to meet Wang Shuxiu.
Feng Yu replied, maintaining his consistent attitude. He would not say goodbye until he came back alive. Also, my sister Aya was also married.
These words all hit Zhang Xiuxian's heart. Fortunately, Zhang Xiuxian is a big-hearted person, otherwise all his thoughts would have been lost.
Feng Yu's sister Aya is indeed married to someone, and she is also an official in the capital. The nature of her marriage is basically the same as that of Wang Shuxiu. Feng Qing has put in a lot of effort for the Feng family.
Over the past few years, things have changed. New people have appeared in the family, and old people have left. Occasionally, Feng Yu will think of Zhang Manyue, but since that time, he has never heard of this person again. He seems to have disappeared from the world, and his life and death are unknown.
, even the black donkey hoof she left behind, Feng Yu still kept it, thinking that it might still be used during the robbery that day.
But in reality, Feng Yu has not used it in these years. His father has broadened the path of the Feng family. He is too busy with business and things outside, and he spends less time at home and more separation.
This young master of the Feng family is already a person who can take over the Feng family to a certain extent.
But the only thing Feng Qing was dissatisfied with was that Wang Shuxiu's stomach had not responded. Feng Qing and Feng Er didn't say it on the surface, but they knew it in their hearts. This was probably karma, so they treated their daughter-in-law Wang Shuxiu especially.
It's good that my ancestors were immoral, which resulted in few descendants. A good person but a yellow flower girl has to endure such suffering.
The Feng family has been doing pretty well in recent years. Although the situation has been a bit chaotic, life has been pleasant. It was at the end of 1927. In recent years, in addition to being busy with the Feng family business, Feng Yu occasionally
When you go out to help the Feng family relatives solve some problems, you will inevitably encounter various things in the industry. Most of the Feng family relatives are engaged in the tomb robbing industry. Some tombs are too evil, so they will ask the Feng family to help. When the time comes, the three
The seven-point account seems to have become a kind of settlement. Over the years, the Feng family has made a lot of money from this. Compared with the environment at the end of the Qing Dynasty, I don’t know how much better it is. Basically, the industry is rejuvenated.
.
However, like the previous red wax letter sent by the Tian family, I never received it again. Feng Yu didn't go there very much. Most of them were assigned by him to the knowledgeable people of the Feng family to help. After all, he was the successor of the Feng family. He couldn't do it for these things.
Keep running around with trivial matters.
In the past few years, Feng Yu learned a lot. He read the thick old "Coffin Mountain Ode" over and over again many times, and also read through the records left in the Feng family ancestral hall.
In Wang Shuxiu's eyes, Feng Yu would study those books whenever he had free time, and he was very fascinated by them.
Fortunately, Huangtian paid off. Feng Yu had a rough guess about the Feng family's past and had his own ideas. However, there were many things that he couldn't answer just by guessing, such as the building behind the Feng family's ancestral hall.
No one could say what the courtyard was used for. Feng Yu went in and looked at it later, but it was just an ordinary small courtyard.
Like this, the ancestors of the Feng family always make many puzzling actions, which seem to be commonplace.
Feng Yu and Wang Shuxiu get along quite well. Although the marriage was arranged by the elders, Wang Shuxiu is really a virtuous woman. Her temperament is suitable for her to marry as a daughter-in-law. She respects the elderly at the top and loves the bottom at the bottom.
The younger generation is good at playing music, chess, calligraphy and painting, cooking rice, cooking oil and salt, and is also good at housekeeping.
Because she has never had children, Wang Shuxiu has been cautious in the Feng family for fear of doing something wrong. In fact, she does not know that this is due to the sins of the Feng family ancestors. It is not enough for a woman who grew up under feudalism to have such thoughts.
strange.
The year 1927 was approaching the end of the year, and everyone in the Feng family was preparing things for the New Year. Wang Shuxiu made a special arrangement. Many red lanterns were filled in the house, and the festive atmosphere was extremely lively.
That night, Feng Yu was studying this ancient book in the ancestral hall, when there was a knock on the door of Feng's house in Yanshan.
Most of the female relatives of the Feng family did not dare to open the door without permission for visitors at night. They originally wanted to invite Feng Qing, but seeing that Feng Qing and Feng Er had already rested, they invited Feng Yu over. The people outside asked Feng Yu to come and pick him up by name.
, otherwise you won’t even get through the door.
The waiter who came to invite Feng Yu was still wondering, since Mr. Feng didn't come or come in, what else would come? Who do you really think he is? Do you just welcome whoever you want to greet him?
The waiter was nagging in Feng Yu's ears, thinking that he might be someone who got lost on the mountain, so he sent them away together. Feng Yu followed the waiter to the gate, only to hear the waiter shout through the gate: "The people outside the door are still there."
Are you there?"
A voice sounded outside the door, "Yes, why aren't you there? I said I would wait for Feng Yu to come and greet me. What I said was nonsense. I said, can you open the door and talk inside? I'm not here to rob the house. Really?"
If they come to rob your Feng family, do I have to wait here for so long?"
Feng Yu smiled knowingly, with a touch of emotion in his eyes. He asked the waiter to open the door quickly. You didn't need to guess who the voice was.
The person outside the door is none other than Zhang Xiuxian. After three years of separation, Zhang Xiuxian is still in good health, slightly fatter than a few years ago, with a rosy face and a very energetic person.
When Zhang Xiuxian saw Feng Yu standing behind the door, she laughed loudly, "Damn it, Feng Yu, I've seen you." As he said this, he was so excited that he almost shed tears.
Such sincere feelings cannot be faked. Zhang Xiuxian then scolded in a tearful voice: "I haven't seen you for several years, how can you be like your father?"
Now, I feel a lot more profound, a lot more energetic, and I feel more like a master of the Feng family."
Feng Yu has indeed become much more stable, and his heart has even calmed down, the kind that does not move even if a mountain collapses in front of him.
"Xiuxian, when did you come back?" Feng Yu asked.
The two of them walked inside while talking, and Feng Yu called the waiter to settle down.
Zhang Xiuxian then began to talk about the mountains, "It's hard to describe the past two years. No, I just came back from Hebei. I passed by Yanshan first and came in to take a look. You kid is still living a good life. You are playing outside.
If everything goes wrong, the Beiyang government will collapse. In the words of Mr. Lu Xun, this is called the victory of the common people."
"Hey, are you talking about Mr. Lu Xun? Have you improved your knowledge?"
Zhang Xiuxian sat down and elaborated: "It's not enough to dance with words, but it is true that this bureaucratic regime cannot last long."
After listening to Zhang Xiuxian's words, Feng Yu was curious about what Zhang Xiuxian had done in these years.
"With the defeat of the bureaucratic Beiyang Army, can the Nationalist Government really be any better?" Feng Yu asked rhetorically.
"Hey, this is true. It is indeed not much better, but it is still better than the Beiyang regime. Those remnants of the Qing Dynasty should give way. However, I still retain my rights to the founder of the Beiyang government.
Respectfully, Li Hongzhang really wanted to save the Qing Dynasty."
Feng Yu suddenly felt that he had passed away. He really didn't want to talk about history with Zhang Xiuxian one day. It seemed that he had indeed learned a lot in the past few years.
The two were talking in the front hall when Wang Shuxiu heard the sound and came over.
Feng Yu introduced Zhang Xiuxian, and Zhang Xiuxian said with a smile: "Okay, you are still hiding in the golden house. Sister, I am Zhang Xiuxian."
Wang Shuxiu replied: "Oh, it turns out you are Zhang Xiuxian. I often hear Feng Yu talking about you. It's better to see you than to hear it today."
Wang Shuxiu knew how to be polite, so she didn't take part in the life between the two of them. She said hello and went to the back to get some supper.
After Wang Shuxiu left, Zhang Xiuxian began to complain: "I said, Feng Yu, I already have a wife, okay, she looks like a good girl."
Zhang Xiuxian couldn't help lamenting the impermanence of life and the wasted years, "I, Zhang Xiuxian, have come to nothing in the end. Your sister Aya has already married. Back then, she wanted to be your brother-in-law. Now, I'm afraid she won't even be able to do so. Alas, I'm so young."
What a wonderful time."
Feng Yu patted Zhang Xiuxian, "There is no place in the world where there is no fragrant grass."
Zhang Xiuxian retorted: "I said, you are wrong. You call a full man and don't know a hungry man is hungry. My mother is waiting for me to marry a daughter-in-law to honor her."
Feng Yu didn't know what to say. Some things were destined by God. You may not be happy if you force yourself to get something.
Zhang Xiuxian emphasized to Feng Yu, "I said, you have to take me to play some other time. We two brothers have to go to heaven and earth to experience what April is like on earth."
Zhang Xiuxian's moral character remained unchanged. Feng Yu smiled helplessly and changed the subject.
"Don't worry about heaven and earth. Instead, tell me, what have you been doing in the past two years? You haven't come back after being gone for so long."
Wang Shuxiu served the prepared supper, a soup and a few side dishes, and heated up a pot of warm wine. After a few words of greeting, she went back to rest.
Zhang Xiuxian couldn't help but admire how it is for a big girl to marry a wife. As soon as the wine was poured, he started talking.
