Chapter 21
Chapter 21
After Fu Kang'an was one year old, Fu Heng brought troops back from Junggar. The emperor sympathized with him and allowed him to stay in the palace for a month to recuperate.
The emperor made a decree to confer him the title of first-class loyal and brave Duke. Fu Heng had already won this title in the Jinchuan campaign before, and he was granted the title of Duke again, which can be called an unprecedented honor.For this, he went to the palace and sternly refused. Soon after, the emperor displayed hundreds of portraits of famous heroes and generals in Ziguang Pavilion, and Fu Hengrong ranked first.
For a while, the wealth of the Fucha family was like cooking oil in a fire, and the brilliance of Fucha Fu Heng overwhelmed the court.
He is already an extremely human minister, and there is no way to advance.
Invitations poured into the Fucha mansion like snowflakes, and the wives of each mansion came up with invitations one after another, wanting to invite the wives of powerful ministers in that mansion to enjoy the flowers and the moon.
These posts were also withdrawn from Fucha Fu Heng's study room like snowflakes, and those invitations were also solemnly and firmly pushed back.
Although the noble lady in Beijing was lost, almost no one was surprised.
The fourth young lady of the Fucha Mansion, who has always been low-key, has never been a guest at the banquet in Beijing. She has the legendary beauty of the world, has an elegant and dignified temperament like an orchid after the rain, and has the ability to be praised by the clan. character.
But she doesn't have the enthusiasm for being good at dancing and socializing.
Except that she could see the first-class wife who was dressed in high-grade make-up and sat with her husband in the high place of the hall with a gentle face on New Year's Eve in the palace, she almost never participated in these entertainments in the back room.
"This fourth young lady of the Fucha family is really strange."
This is a sentence that many noble ladies have quietly discussed behind others.
However, no one has questioned her ability as a rich daughter-in-law.
In the battle of Jinchuan in the 13th year of Qianlong, Fu Heng escaped death. It was this young and weak woman who stood up and stabilized the Fucha family who was in a mess because of Li Rongbao's death.
It was she who supported the Fucha clan until Fucha Fu Heng returned triumphantly with his army. On that day, the Forbidden City was full of purples and reds, and a hundred flowers were blooming. Going straight to the person standing quietly on the side of the Hall of Mental Cultivation, his eyes are tired, gentle, and clear. When looking at her, everyone can feel that he has spent almost his entire life looking at her with tenderness.
He was wearing armor with yellow flags on it. She looked up at him and smiled softly.
A golden-armored beauty, Huangsha Guangdian, it is difficult to have everything.
They are a legend of deep affection in this Beijing city.
A peerless beauty and a famous general.
This love is admirable in itself, and nothing more than the most imaginative words.
Therefore, when Fucha Fu Hengxiu came to court for one month, everyone thought he was going to reunite with his wife for warmth.
However, Mr. Fu Heng, who was on vacation for a month, was standing at the gate of his own yard with a wry smile.
The girl Que Ning, who became more and more presumptuous thanks to her master's favor, just came out and told him that his wife refused him again today with an excuse.
This is already the fifth day since he came back.
Beside him, the wet nurse who was looking after the second young master passed by holding Fukang'an who had just turned one year old, saluted him and then walked towards the inner courtyard.
In the main house, the door curtain was suddenly lifted from the inside, and the eight-year-old Fu Longan stood inside the door, his eyes looking forward to seeing the younger brother who was brought in, as if he had just discovered Ama standing at the gate of the courtyard, and looked towards Fu Heng showed a frowning expression.After Fu Kang'an was carried in, the young master of Fu Heng raised his eyebrows slantingly, sneered at Master Fu Heng, and unceremoniously closed the door curtain.
Fu Heng laughed back angrily.
Okay, I said that I don't want to be disturbed while I'm painting, now it seems that this "do not want to be disturbed" is only for him.
Fu Heng curled his fingers, and his knuckles made a "creaking" sound under his force.
He said to Bron: "Come in with me later, no matter whether you are dragging or hugging, get that kid Furlong out for me, do you hear me?"
Bu Long scratched his head: "The eldest young master is born with supernatural powers, and he has learned riding and archery martial arts from his servants for several years. It is a bit difficult to restrain him now."
Fu Heng said: "It is said that the waves behind the Yangtze River drive the waves ahead. Why is he only an eight-year-old boy, and your master is about to be photographed on the beach? Then next time you join the army, I will put you in the cook's class."
Bu Long smiled: "Don't worry, my lord, even if I lift that kid up, I won't let him continue to disturb you and your wife."
Fu Heng sneered, and said, "Boy, no matter how big or small", he strode into the yard, lifted the curtain and entered the main house.
After entering, as expected, the distant orchid fragrance that he hadn't smelled for a long time rushed towards his face. Fu Heng looked inside, and saw Shichun who was sitting by the bed with a smile on his face and teasing Fu Kang'an.
Fu Longan was hugging his younger brother when he heard him say "brother" as "Gege", and was correcting him patiently, but the nanny who was idle at the side first saw Fu Heng and Bu Long with cold and fierce faces, and hurriedly greeted him in a daze. .
Fulongan raised his eyes and looked over with dissatisfaction. Before he frowned and spoke, Bulong stepped forward and hugged him and the one-year-old child in his arms.
"Bron, let me down. I will never allow him to take a step closer to my mother today."
Bu Long was frightened when he heard this, so he quickened his pace and ran out the door with Fu Longan in his arms: "Oh, my little master, you are dying, you dare to pull the tiger's whiskers, Ama."
Shichun hurriedly followed a few steps: "Bulung! Be careful, don't drop Fukang'an!"
Fu Heng stretched out his hand, and stopped her the moment she passed by him.
Outside the courtyard, as soon as Bu Long put Fu Longan down, Fu Longan rushed to the back room.
Bulong hurriedly stopped him, Fulongan stretched out his foot and kicked him, but Bulong blocked him.
"You are still holding the young master in your arms, be careful not to hurt your brother!"
Fulong'an looked down at Fukang'an who was confused and even a little excited, looked up and found the nurse who ran out in a small step, put his brother in her arms, turned to face Bulong and suddenly moved Come on.
Bron followed his move and asked, "Why are you doing this? He's your Ama. It's too inappropriate for you to behave like this."
Fu Long'an said coldly: "He is not worthy of being my Ama at all! Er Niang begged him to stay, but he insisted on taking over Junggar's mess! Manchu civil and military do not approve of the use of soldiers, only he will be a hero, Later, I invited Zhi to kiss the front line! He was not in the mansion when I was young, and he was not with Er Niang when Fu Kang'an was born! Er Niang almost died that night due to dystocia and hemorrhage, but what about him? , as far away as Junggar, everyone in Beijing said that Fucha and Fu Heng were brave and dared to do things for others, but who knew that Er Niang's life and death were unpredictable at that time? For his fame and fortune, for his fame through the ages, Regardless of his wife and children. Even if he is a hero who put down Junggar and a hero of our Qing Dynasty, I will not forgive him!"
Bron sighed softly, and put away his fists: "Young master, that's a matter between them. Young lady is angry with adults, but you can't. He has always been a hero in your heart and an object of admiration, but you Do you know how many times he almost died by the sword in order to let the people of the Qing Dynasty live in peace? Your Ama, he is using his life to fight for a peaceful and prosperous world in Haiyan and Heqing!"
Fu Longan frowned and said nothing.
After a while, he glanced at the main courtyard again, reached out to take Fu Kang'an from the wet nurse, and walked out: "If Er Niang forgives him today, I will forgive him, and if Er Niang does not forgive, he deserves it. "
Bu Long sighed with a smile, looked at his apprentice's insincere expression, and followed him out of the courtyard: "Young master, put your brother down, and go to the martial arts field with your slaves to practice a few moves. Your progress is not small."
Fu Long'an's voice sounded: "Who wants to play with you today, I will take Fu Kang'an to the palace to see the imperial concubine, and we will talk about it tomorrow."
inside the house.
Shi Chun glanced at Fu Heng's arm in front of her, then turned and walked to the inner room.
Before taking two steps, her waist tightened, and Fu Heng picked her up and walked to the bed.
"You put me down!" She became angry from embarrassment.
"Don't move!" Fu Heng said, rolling up her sleeves, revealing a smooth and white wrist.
He stroked the bite marks on her wrist with his fingers that had become rough all year round, and said softly, "Does it hurt?"
Shi Chun looked at his bloodshot eyes from studying the battle situation in the military tent at night, and suddenly softened his expression.
"It doesn't hurt now. At that time, I didn't feel anything."
Fu Heng's eyes suddenly became moist.
He held her in his arms, his chin resting on the top of her head, he was holding her too tightly.
"Er Niang told me later," his eyes turned red and his voice was a little rough: "After you bleed heavily, you almost lost consciousness. In order to wake up and give birth to Fukang'an, you bit your arm and didn't let go. Bite until the flesh is bloody, and you forcefully gave birth to him, and you finally passed out."
His chin stroked her forehead: "You have been lying unconscious on the bed for three days, and everyone thought you couldn't hold on anymore. My letter was sent back to the mansion, and Emiang read it to you every day, she said The first time you reacted was when you heard about my Xiaosheng. Before you fainted, you told Erniang that you must never tell me about your childbirth distress, so Erniang never mentioned you in the letter, and I knew you were definitely Something happened. You must know that when I was in spring, she was most worried that I would worry about my family outside. Every day, she would attach a letter from my family to Er Niang's letter. The letter from the family was suddenly broken, and my heart was about to stop suddenly. .”
Shi Chun closed his eyes and leaned against his arms for a long time, a few tears wet his clothes.
"After you left, I was always thinking about what I argued with you before," she said.
"I know exactly where your ambition is, but when I heard that you were not satisfied with handling military affairs in the rear and insisted on pleading for orders to go to the front, I was still afraid. I don't know why I was so ignorant all of a sudden. I don't want to be the one who pulls you back, but I couldn't control myself that time."
"I know," Fu Heng kissed her forehead lightly: "When you were pregnant with Fukang'an, the fetus was unstable, and you suffered a lot during pregnancy, which made you feel too insecure. At that time, I suddenly said that I would go to the battlefield. It's normal for you to feel terrified. It's my fault, I owe you and the child too much."
Shi Chun raised his head: "Remember the first time we quarreled? We were both arrogant and we didn't want to bow our heads easily, but then you were the first to bow your head to me. You said to me at that time, 'I have never been the first to say goodbye to someone. People bowed their heads, you won', do you remember how I replied to you?"
Fu Heng slightly raised the corners of his lips: "You said, 'There is no right or wrong between husband and wife', I remember, I remember it all."
"So after you left, I didn't get angry. But I just regret that before you went to the front, I just had a big fight with you. I'm afraid. If something goes wrong with you, my last words to you are, It turned out to let you never come back."
Shi Chun looked at Fu Heng, tears wet her eyelashes.
That day Fu Heng set off, he was wearing soft armor, and there were only dozens of cavalry behind him to escort him.
Before he left, he turned his head back for the last time, looked at her, and said, "I'll be back soon."
She just raised her head, looked at the roof not far away, and said softly: "You can also never come back."
Three days after her dystocia and coma, she always had a dream repeatedly.
In the dream, Fu Heng sat on the horse, stretched out his hand to her, and said, "Shichun, come here."
She laughed and ran towards him, but before she touched his hand, the dream changed, and the person she loved lay on the barren sand of Junggar, closed her eyes, and as she said, she never came back.
The dream was so terrifying that for a year after waking up, she took care of Er Niang and raised the child without mentioning it to anyone.
She smiled and touched Fu Heng's face, feeling his warm skin under her hands.
Before I knew it, tears streamed down my face.
"The first time I saw Fucha Fu Heng, I would never have thought that one day I would risk my life for him."
She said in a trembling voice, looking up into his eyes, tears rolled down from them, like broken night stars.
Fu Heng focused his eyes on her, his eyes flashed with water, he took her hand and intertwined his fingers just like every day and night before.
"The Fucha Fu Heng in the history books will be a warrior, but the Fucha Fu Heng in real life is your husband."
I and you originated from acquaintance, and fell in love at the corner of the years.
"The Fucha family has a love affair."
Everyone says so.
One afternoon, she was reading Nalan Ci in her study.
It's the song "Golden Hazel".
"I've turned around since mid-night, and listened to Xiang Xian's heavy reasoning. Waiting for a knot, he will know me. I'm afraid that both of them will die, and then the fate will be saved, and the moon will be left in the wind. The tears will be exhausted, and the paper will be ashes."
He frowned, walked behind her, and stared at her twice.
"It's so sad, I don't like it," he said.
Shichun just said: "Every time I read the poems of this ancestor of the Nalan family, and read this poem he wrote to his deceased wife, I always feel very sad in my heart. It is such a heavy love that it is possible to express such a sigh. .”
Fu Heng took out the Nalan words in her hand, kissed her lips, and said, "We don't need to envy Nalan Rongruo, we are more perfect than him."
Every time Shichun recalled his words later, he would always open his eyes and look at him beside his pillow. Fu Heng could feel her gaze, but he just smiled and fell asleep.
Because that gaze was so gentle that it gave him sweetness night after night.
Later, when he teased Hai Lancha and his subordinates in the army, he just smiled lightly, walked out of the tent, and looked in the direction of Beijing city.
The person I love is stunning, and I am crazy about it.
-
In the blink of an eye, it turns out that I have been in love for so many years.
--------------------
The author has something to say:
There should be no commander-in-chief in the battle of Fu Heng Junggar, and he was just handling military affairs in the rear, but I set here that he went to the front battlefield to supervise the battle later.
Because I think that sometimes Chun is so supportive of him, he should have more chances to realize his ambition to go to the battlefield than before.
