Chapter 97: Mistaken business trip and full of regrets
The Feng family in the capital is the natal family of Empress Li Fei. Her parents are still there and are very strong. Although the Feng family has not been divided, each son has his own separate courtyard. That was when Li Fei entered the prince's house, and the conditions of the family suddenly changed.
It's getting better and I'll take care of things slowly.
A daughter-in-law was born in the family, but the Feng family only became richer, but their status did not improve much.
Because the brothers in her family are really not smart, illiterate, and don't understand anything about officialdom. Even the next generation of sons doesn't have much potential.
After the emperor ascended the throne, Concubine Li gave birth to twins. The emperor was overjoyed and gave Feng's father the status of uncle, which could be passed down to three generations.
But in fact it is not very useful, the annual salary is not much, and it does not provide a place to live. It is just decent in appearance.
The Feng family simply couldn't squeeze into the homes of wealthy people in the capital, so no one would admit this.
The only good thing about Concubine Li is that she is good-looking and can have children. She has mediocre qualifications and a vulgar temperament. She doesn't like to learn, and she doesn't know what she should strive for for her family.
The emperor knows her virtues, so he cares more about the ninth prince than all his sons. With such a good momentum, not only can Concubine Li and the Feng family not be able to help, but it would be nice if they could not hinder her.
When Concubine Li gave birth to the twins, Mother Feng went to the palace to see her. Although Mother Feng was also vulgar, her heart was not as big as Concubine Li's. She didn't understand the rules and was timid. She went to the palace and had sex with her.
It was like a layer of skin. I had been ill for several days since I came back, and I never dared to go back.
When Concubine Li was in her boudoir, she would vomit after eating tofu. She once swore that if she had money in the future, she would never eat it again in her life.
But later, when she ate delicacies such as chicken, duck, and fish, she still liked tofu, especially home-made tofu.
The concubines in the palace saw that Concubine Li was so beautiful, and it was probably due to the effect of eating tofu, so they followed her one after another. Even the emperor liked it very much.
So now, the tofu made by the old couple is supplied directly to the palace, and every morning, there are cars from the palace pulling it.
Feng's father and Feng's mother have been hardworking all their lives. Even though life has improved, they have not changed their original living habits. They get up early every day to make tofu. However, there are many people waiting for them. The two of them are responsible for keeping things in check, so they don't have to work as hard as before.
.The money earned is enough to support a large family.
On the other hand, his sons and grown-up grandsons were like nouveau riche. They had nothing to do with food, drink, prostitution, and gambling. Their bodies were all ruined beyond appearance, and two of his sons were already dead.
Today, Feng Sizhuang, one of Feng Baoer's brothers, came back to see his father angrily. His parents were ordering tofu there. The two of them were smiling and talking, and the waiter was following them.
Seeing him coming, his mother asked, "Sizhuang, why are you here?"
Si Zhuang sat there groaning angrily, "Father, mother, what do you think is going on with my sister's second son? I went to his house so many times to look for him, but he didn't let me in at all. He's back, let's
He didn't come home, but I heard that he took a few carts of things to King Jin's house. The courtyard of King Jin's house is not as grand as yours! He is close to him, but he doesn't recognize me as his uncle!"
The children born to Concubine Li are not related to the Feng family.
Especially Princess Xingrong and the third prince Li Shi, they were not even caught in the corner of their eyes.
The Ninth Prince has never even left the palace.
Seeing that the work in hand had come to an end, Feng's father sat down to take a breath, but ignored his son and only waved his fan to drink tea.
Mother Feng said, "Why are you looking for him? In any case, he has been adopted, and he is someone else's son. If you look for him again, others will poke his spine." The old lady still thinks like a secular person.
Si Zhuang didn't like hearing it anymore, "Mother! Those are all the emperor's sons. It was the one who snatched them away in the beginning, and my sister was not willing to give them to him."
Feng's mother said, "I think it's pretty good. If I adopt the family, I'll also get a share of the property. How nice it is!"
Feng Sizhuang said, "You can't say that? I mean...he can't deny us either?! Is he the girl of the Feng family or not?"
Feng's mother said, "What do you want to do?! The others don't recognize the Feng family either?! That's the princess and the prince. If you don't recognize it, don't recognize it. How good are we living now?"
Feng Sizhuang said, "Mother, he is getting married. He has a throne and so much money. Mother, would you like to marry Ling'er?"
"Ling'er?"
Ling'er is the youngest daughter of Si Zhuang, and he is the only girl like him. She is the only granddaughter of the Feng family who is the same age as Li Cheng. However, this girl's appearance is really ordinary.
Father Feng sneered, and Mother Feng said, "Ling'er is not good-looking." She has a daughter who is like a fairy, but ordinary people can't even look at her.
Si Zhuang became anxious, "Why are you talking about your granddaughter like that? In our entire Feng family, she is the most suitable for her age! When it comes to looks, no one can compare with my sister! But, mother, Ling'er is our own family member."
You go into the palace and talk to your sister. If it can happen... Ling'er becomes the princess, then our family will be truly established. Now, who cares about us?!"
Feng's mother said, "Oh, you always think about useless things... I'll send someone to send a message to your sister later. I don't know if it will work."
"As long as the empress puts her mind to it, she can definitely do it!" Sizhuang smiled, his sister, didn't he know?
——Zhao Chang returned to the house calmly, sat behind the desk in the front study room, and sent all his men out. Only then did the despair from the bottom of his heart appear on his face. He raised his eyes and stared blankly at the bookshelf.
a painting on.
On the yellowed paper, there are a few pale yellow camellias drawn, which are the few things she has left to herself.
I just got the news that she is getting married.
She even married someone, so unbearable...
He was anxious and in pain. After spending countless regretful nights, he thought he could deal with everything calmly, but when he heard the news just now, he almost rushed to Ren's house... to look for her.
He thought he was numb, but he didn't expect that a few years later, this incident would still have such a great impact on him.
In the past few years, he didn't even want to think about her anymore, because it would make him look so stupid and ridiculous.
When my stepmother entered the house, she was only seventeen years old. She was from a low background, extremely beautiful, gentle and quiet. After entering the house, she carefully protected everyone in the family. She was even more obviously courteous to him.
He was young at the time, and his mother had always raised him well. He didn't know that the world was difficult and people's hearts were sinister. He just thought that it would be difficult for a stepmother of such a background to survive in this family, so he was a little more tolerant of her.
If she had anything to ask, she would come to her and ask for help. If she could help, he would not refuse.
Later, when the stepmother became pregnant, she brought her niece over to talk with her.
That little girl is only a little younger than her stepmother. She has a round face and two dimples when she smiles. She has flexible eyes and loves to talk and laugh. She has a slim figure, light movements, and is diligent. Every time she sees him, she greets him with a smile and enthusiasm.
He called me brother, grabbed the girl's work, served him tea and water, and asked some silly questions.
He would smile when he heard the crisp laughter. His clean eyes made him more patient.
The two of them occasionally met and exchanged a few words in front of their stepmother, and then they met and exchanged a few words in the garden.
In the end, she was able to specially ask the girl to come and show him the newly blooming flowers in the garden.
He can buy Dao Xiangchun's snacks and seal kites for her outside.
It was natural and pleasant for two people to get along with each other...but to say that he was attracted to her, that was impossible.
He has his favorite woman, she will be his wife.
They are a perfect match, they are in love, and they want to spend their lives together.
However, he did not refuse the flattery and look up to the little girl in front of him. He did not ignore her surprise when she saw him. He even felt a little contented in his heart.
The stepmother gave birth to a son for his father.
When my mother was alive, she was a strong person, and my father had a soft temperament that wavered. So until my mother passed away, my father only had one son. Now that he has another son... his father really regarded him as a treasure.
And he also liked the little one very much...
Later, he was about to pay filial piety and marry his wife.
But suddenly something happened...
He had no idea what was going on... he just drank some wine and that was it!
In his mother's filial piety, he despised his stepmother's niece.
The stepmother was crying, the girl was looking for death, and the father was furious.
All three parties are forcing him, and he has no choice.
The father obeyed the advice of his young wife who had just given birth to a son, and had no regard for his adult son.
Therefore, he had no choice but to break off the engagement.
Reluctance, regret, resentment... so I wrote that letter to Ren Baihui.
She didn't reply.
His cousin came back from work abroad to attend his wedding.
Afterwards, he was taken outside and beaten and scolded severely.
The cousin said, "This vicious woman has made a plan with a dilemma! She started planning it before she had a son until it was successfully implemented. If you don't agree to marry her niece, she will make things worse! Your reputation is ruined."
, your fame will also be deprived, and then she will encourage your father to kick you out of the house. If you agree, your first wife is such a calculating bitch from a small family. What are you going to argue with her son?
Yes, your father is a fool! Your mother understands, so she has been suppressing him for many years! Don't you understand when you are with your mother? Could it be that you just seem smart and have the same brain as your father? "
Only then did he understand... It turned out that his stepmother and she were all pretending, seducing, and creating conditions.
But he made a mistake and regretted it for eternity. At this time, what can he do? So, from then on, he also started to pretend.
Pretending to live a loving life with his wife, he even gave birth to a daughter with her...
Pretend to respect your stepmother, pretend to love your younger brother.
His wife was relieved and lived happily with him.
But the stepmother didn't... kept testing and digging holes... the ultimate goal was to drive him out of the house.
So, he let his father "accidentally get" a woman who was "pure and clean", had an arrogant and colorful temperament, and his father was deeply attracted, which distracted his stepmother a lot of attention.
He also used a trick to let his wife know about his stepmother's efforts to harm his interests.
The aunt and nephew came together because of their common interests but went their separate ways because of their own interests. They were fighting fiercely day by day.
He can take a breather and has already decided to hunt this fall!
He is about to take action...
Have you ever imagined in your heart that if you resolve the family issues, you can still have a relationship with her?
I plan to wait until I am free, even if I kneel down and beg her, I will get her forgiveness.
Unexpectedly, after not getting married for several years, she suddenly got engaged!
How could such a man be worthy of her?
He fiddled with the things on the table aimlessly, thinking carefully.
