Chapter 955 Chapter 955
The princess's villa, Diecuixuan, was burned beyond recognition.
Jin Fuyun stood up with the help of Shi Niang, and asked in disbelief, "Father..., are you crying for mother?"
Shi Niang choked up and said, "That's right, the eldest son and the young lady didn't dare to step forward to persuade them, but those who saw it were sad and those who heard it cried."
"Father, will you cry for mother?"
Jin Fuyun looked exhausted. If he valued his mother, why would he have taken in concubines one after another in the backyard and given birth to a bunch of children!
What a nest!
She had seen her mother secretly crying, and she knew her mother's helplessness when looking at a room full of beautiful girls. She felt sorry for her mother!
In that backyard, if she hadn't been able to keep it under control at such a young age, how could her mother have had a good life?
Crying for the dead?!
Ah--
Jin Fuyun slowly sat on the chair, staring blankly at the empty space ahead, "Father, you are worthy of being a general."
He is flexible and is better at singing than the people on the stage!
Shi Niang advised in a low voice, "Miss, it is reasonable for you to go and guard the princess's body. Otherwise, why don't you go over and give her some advice now? Miss Seven has not left behind..."
Jin Fuyun smiled miserably and shook her head slowly. She looked up at the burnt roof and her laughter became more and more unbridled and bitter.
After a long while, he smiled foolishly and spoke.
"Mother, she's gone."
My father is also gone.
In the mourning hall, the candlelight was as bright as daylight. Jin Yunfan, his wife, and his cousin stood outside the hall, not daring to say much.
Many servants also lowered their heads and dared not look towards the hall.
Inside the mourning hall, paper decorations have been made. The colorful colors are the tones of the underworld. The jet-black coffin made of high-quality golden nanmu wood is particularly eye-catching among the colorful paper decorations.
Jin Meng held the coffin and cried quietly.
Without saying much, he just shouted, "My Hongan..."
Jiang wiped the tears from her eyes and looked up at her husband, "My husband, it's freezing cold, and the wind is blowing. Why don't you go and persuade your father?"
Jin Yunfan said nothing.
Jin Qi whispered, "Sister-in-law, just let uncle be. He and aunt were very respectful when they were alive. Now that they are separated by death, even the strongest person will feel sad."
The next morning, before dawn, Pei An got up.
In the past, at such times, he would always tiptoe and quietly walk out of the inner room, but today was different. He also woke up Song Guanzhou.
"I am busy with official duties today and cannot leave, but my father and second brother are here. If the general wants to see you, I told my father last night that you were frightened and weak and it was inconvenient for you to see guests, so I refused."
After hearing this, Song Guanzhou rubbed his eyes, yawned delicately, and sat up with the quilt, "If you really want to meet, I don't mind."
Until now, Jin Fuyun has been staying at home all day and has not heard any useful news.
It would be a lie to say that she wasn't curious about her own achievements.
Pei An knew what she was thinking. He sat on the bed, lifted her long hair, and held her face, which was still beautiful but still sleepy. "Just don't see her, so as not to upset her."
"Maybe, she can kneel down for me?"
Pei An couldn't help laughing when he heard this, and rubbed her head, "Don't think too much. Kneeling can't change her guilt. Could it be that you have suffered so much, but just by kneeling like this, you don't care about it at all?"
"That's not true."
Song Guanzhou grabbed a handful of hair, but the black hair was too long and he couldn't smooth it down to the bottom.
"That's the eldest daughter of the Jin family. She was so glorious in the past. I still remember the first time we met. She was in her small courtyard outside Beijing. She was dignified and well-mannered. She coaxed most people and isolated me."
Fortunately, Liu Xian's children got along well with her.
Pei An shook his head, "Be obedient, this person is not kneeling sincerely. She hates you and me so much now. Don't you think she has less worries?"
Song Guanzhou saw that he was speaking sincerely, thought for a moment, and nodded slowly.
"Even so, I'll stay away from it."
Pei An was relieved to see that she was obedient. He turned around and gave some more instructions to the maids. Then he packed up and went out to report for duty.
As soon as I went out, the cold wind blew against my head.
Alu was already wearing a thick cotton jacket and a gray hat made of rabbit fur, waiting outside the door with a lantern, "Fourth Master, please put on more clothes. It's really cold today."
Wherever the light of the lantern reached, there was thick snow.
"It snowed all night?"
Alu nodded. "There's not that much snow in the yard, but on the roof it's thick. Fourth Master, it's really cold this year, and the snow has never stopped falling."
Although Pei An was dressed warmly, he couldn't withstand the cold.
He rubbed his hands and stamped his feet, "Let's go. In a few days, I think we can take a break." The teaching examination is almost over, and Pei An can relax for a while on his official duties.
Alu nodded and led the way with a lantern. "Fourth Master, would you like to take a carriage or a sedan chair today?"
Pei An frowned, "Go get your horses."
what?
"Fourth Master, the cold wind is so fierce that I'm afraid I can't stand it while riding a horse."
"No problem."
Alu made a bitter face and lowered his head, thinking, you are really powerful, old man, but I can't blow you.
But since his master had given the order, he dared not say much.
When they were leaving, Pei An took the lantern and said, "You will stay in Shaohua Garden today. Be smart and don't let anyone with ulterior motives get in by mistake."
what?
"I will take you to the official residence first—"
"No need. It's not like I don't know the way." Now that I'm on duty at the Ministry of Personnel, the stables are easy to use, so it's no problem. Before, when I was on duty at the Hanlin Academy, the official residence there looked exquisite, but it was actually just a garish display, and the place to tie the horses was really crowded.
Pei An loved his beloved horse very much, so he took Alu with him to go on duty. When they went, they rode together, and when they came back, he let La Shang lead the horse and send it back to the mansion.
During the evening shift, Aru made another trip.
A'ru was a little confused when he heard this. He didn't know what the deep meaning of the Fourth Young Master's arrangement was. Pei An looked at him, a grown man with a face full of ignorance. Sometimes he didn't know whether to laugh or cry.
"Linshan hasn't come back yet, and Linxi followed his cousin to Tong County. Although there are other people at home, I am still worried. You should pay more attention. General Jin is going to bring Jin Fuyun to apologize today. You should be smart, okay?"
Alu was full of surprise, "She still has the nerve to come?"
This vicious woman, why doesn't she just bump into her head and die!
Pei An slapped him on the head and said, "She is the daughter of a great general. Even if she committed a huge mistake, it is not what you think. You can just let her die. There are many debts to pay. We will settle them slowly."
After saying this, he mounted his horse, holding the reins in one hand and a lantern in the other, and galloped into the clouds alone.
In Shaohua Garden, Song Guanzhou tossed and turned, gradually losing sleep.
She simply stood up. Honeysuckle and Lotus heard her calling and came in with hot water and towels. "Madam, it's still dark outside. How about sleeping a little longer?"
"I couldn't sleep. After Shiro woke me up, I became much more awake."
While washing up, Honeysuckle smiled and asked, "Are you worried about the general coming to visit?"
