Corpse Sea Fox Fairy Chapter 72: The Red Wax Letter Handed From Afar
Two red-waxed envelopes broke the peaceful Feng family. The end of the year was approaching, and Feng Yu was busy calculating accounts here and there. In recent years, the antique business has been declining. It is not very prosperous, and he can still make a living.
Can make a fortune.
In 1922, if there was any business that was easy to do, it was of course the arms business. War wealth was the best way to make money, and it came faster than anything else. Lu Guangcheng had made a lot of money over the years, but his heart was still full, so he just ate what he had in his mouth.
If that's not enough, you have to think about the pot. As the saying goes, a swan that doesn't care about the toad is not a good rooster and must not fall behind in all aspects.
Because Zhang Xiuxian's uncle Lu Guangcheng was very close to the Feng family, he and Feng Yu became close friends and talked about everything. Hearing that Zhang Xiuxian's leader was on the wrong side of the warlord melee, he was removed from his rank and sent to a remote military region in the southwest. He was afraid for the rest of his life.
There is no hope of coming back, and Zhang Xiuxian's dream of returning to the national team is completely shattered.
Zhang Xiuxian is a very discerning person, and he vowed: "The current warlord melee is undoubtedly equivalent to the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period."
Feng Yu asked him why he said that, Zhang Xiuxian waved his hand and said: "There is no righteous war in the Spring and Autumn Period. Fighting back and forth is completely meaningless. The second industrial revolution is about to happen abroad. Who do we want?
It doesn’t matter who we can win, it’s a path that truly suits us.”
Feng Er said indifferently: "It is better for Xuantong of the Qing Dynasty to save worries, but it is a pity that the Qing Dynasty died."
Zhang Xiuxian's thoughts are of the new era. He is keen on the youth movement and feels that only the working class movement can save the country.
When the messenger to the Feng family arrived at the Feng family, Zhang Xiuxian happened to be at the Feng family and happened to catch this scene.
When the Feng family saw that it was a red wax envelope, they went directly to ask for Feng Qing. There were three people sitting in the main hall, Feng Yu, Zhang Xiuxian, and Feng Qing, who came over after hearing the news.
The red wax envelope did not explain what the matter was. This was also for the security of the message. It just stated that it was important and they could not handle it. They hoped that Uncle Feng Qingfeng would come personally.
Upon seeing this, Zhang Xiuxian said: "Uncle, is this a red-headed document for you? It is also a two-pronged document. When you were in the army, once this kind of document came, you would either be promoted or dismissed. Is that what it is like here?"
Zhang Xiuxian's tone of voice is becoming more and more like that of his uncle. He has changed a lot over the years. His fighting business has become more and more prosperous. He has slipped a lot and grown a lot. His mustache has also grown.
I kept two handfuls and smoked foreign cigarettes, looking like a man from the world.
Feng Yu also didn't shy away from Zhang Xiuxian, knowing that he couldn't be driven away. If he could be driven away, he would have done it a few years ago. However, if this person wants to get rich, he still has to be thick-skinned. Just like Zhang Xiuxian, he has always followed
The Feng family reaped the benefits and fully implemented the ideas they had with his uncle Lu Guangcheng.
"Dad, with the red wax envelope, it seems something really happened. They asked you to come over by name. It's probably a big problem."
Feng Qing pointed to the letter and said seriously: "None of these people can worry about it. Three days is a big thing and two days is a small thing. Do you think I have nothing to do? My Feng family doesn't owe them anything. I can just eat a little money.
It's like something, if I hadn't been related to him, would I have recognized him as a person worth twenty-five or eighty thousand?"
Feng Qing was already troubled by these things, and when he heard that he was mentioned, he couldn't help but feel angry.
"Dad, how should we deal with this matter? Should we take care of it?"
"It must be managed, how can we ignore it?"
Zhang Xiuxian smiled when he heard this, "I really know how to say that everything in life and speech is full of knowledge."
Feng Qing added: "You have just established yourself in the Feng family. If we don't care about it, we will inevitably fall into the blame. But I am not someone they can do whatever they want. Besides, this letter is from Shanxi. Your father and I are destined to offend Shanxi in this life."
My legs and feet are no longer working in this place, so in my opinion, it’s up to you to go.”
"I go?"
"Yes, you go."
Feng Yu murmured in his heart, this is a red wax envelope with two stripes on it. Maybe something really happened. Can he solve it by himself?
"Dad, everyone in the Feng family has gone out to work in the fields now. Should I go alone?"
"This is a good opportunity. You are the successor of the Feng family. Although they asked me to go, it will show more prestige if you go. What's the harm if you go alone? Don't you have control of all the things underground?"
Upon hearing this, Zhang Xiuxian interjected: "Hey, Feng Yu, who said you are alone? My brother Xiuxian will never give up. As long as you say a word, we will just set off."
Feng Yu replied: "Then I would rather not go."
Feng Qing thought this was a good idea and said: "Then it's settled. In two days, you two will go to Shanxi and this matter will be solved."
After saying this, Feng Qing tore the red wax envelope in half and burned it in the brazier. Then he returned to his tea pavilion and played with his calligraphy and painting antiques. The things in the tea pavilion were treasures. On weekdays,
No one inside or outside is allowed in, not even Aunt Feng Yu.
After Feng Qing left the main hall, Zhang Xiuxian said with a smile: "Your father has already lied, why can't you believe me?"
Feng Yu has known Zhang Xiuxian better than anyone over the years. It is better to trust him than to trust ghosts.
Zhang Xiuxian picked up a pot of good tea on the table, drank it in one gulp, and took a few pieces of Saqima with her, and said to Feng Yu, "Why haven't I seen your sister?"
Feng Yu asked back: "What the hell are you here for? Do you still want to miss my sister? Don't even think about it."
"Don't be dissatisfied with Feng Yu, I think you are afraid that I will become your brother-in-law."
"Even if my sister becomes a monk, she will never marry you."
"Hey, Feng Yu, this is what you said, let's see."
After Zhang Xiuxian said that, he walked out with a playful smile, turned left and entered the inner courtyard of Feng's house.
Feng Yu has two elder sisters and one younger sister. He has no brothers among his peers. The sister Zhang Xiuxian refers to is the adopted daughter of the distant cousin of the Feng family. She is under the name of Feng Er and is one year older than Feng Yu.
Feng Yu smiled inexplicably, shook his head and cursed in his mind, "If you dare to be my brother-in-law, I will also dare to be your brother-in-law."
Five years is not too long. It may be very short for many people. In the long history, how many can become immortal?
After Feng Yu waited for Zhang Xiuxian to leave, he went to the ancestral hall alone. He always liked to sit in the courtyard of the ancestral hall and watch the setting sun in the distance. Feng Yu liked to read some poems. Although he did not have the ambition of ancient literati, he could look at the leisurely
Feng Yu seemed to feel the melancholy under the warm light of the Western Mountain.
But after seeing the full moon in the eastern sky, Feng Yu's melancholy disappeared instantly. Sinking does not mean death, it may be another round of rebirth.
Feng Yu thought of Zhang Manyue and the words she had left behind, saying that she would come to visit the Feng family in Yanshan. Five years later, there was still no trace of her. I wonder if Lu Guangcheng had remembered something wrong, or if Zhang Manyue had forgotten?
Obviously the latter is unlikely.
As time passed, Feng Yu could no longer recall Zhang Manyue's appearance in his mind. He only remembered that her clothes were plain and dark, and her appearance was very delicate. If she was any more detailed, she could not remember anything else.
It is so desolate to have only a long, bright moon and a pot of strong tea to soothe my sorrows and boredom.
Zhang Xiuxian did not have dinner at Feng's house. He left after the sun went down. He was leaving for Shanxi in two days. He had to go back to prepare and tell his uncle Lu Guangcheng by the way.
The autumn night in October was somewhat cold and the fallen leaves were bleak, heralding the end of the year. Feng Yu did not have dinner. He was still sitting quietly in the courtyard of the ancestral hall, thinking about Shanxi, which he was going to in two days.
