Rebirth: Perfect Rural Life - Chapter 283
Gu Yiyue sits in the flower hall and suddenly receives a mysterious post. She opens it and sees that the signature is Fang Yizheng.
She hadn’t seen the name for a long time. As soon as she saw it, she closed it immediately. She felt that their existence seemed to remind her all the time that she had such a humble past.
“Return this post to him, but I can’t see it.” Gu Yiyue handed the post to the servant girl around her.
“Yes.” the servant girl nodded and went outside.
Fang Yizheng had been waiting outside the middle door. After hearing what the servant girl said, he was a little unconvinced. He handed some silver money to the servant girl and said, “good sister, Miss Gu, what else did she say?”
After receiving the money, the servant girl’s attitude naturally improved. She said, “Miss didn’t say anything, just two words: no!”
“OK.” Fang Yizheng was a little depressed. He rarely came to the capital. He would come here again next time. I don’t know when it was. Although Gu Yiyue was angry before, he thought about it. After all, it was his sister who had been in pain in the palm of his hand for 12 years. Now he figured it out, he still wanted to see her.
Maybe she has some difficulties. Fang Yizheng thought so. He suddenly remembered the etiquette of large families mentioned in the book. Women can’t meet foreign men. It must be known to others, which will affect her reputation. At that time, she can’t explain why.
Thinking of this, Fang Yizheng felt that he knew the truth. He returned to the Inn and wrote a new post, but this time he handed it to Wu.
It is said that Wu once had such a lost friendship with his mother, and she should not lose sight of herself for the sake of seeing that her family has raised their adopted daughter for so long?
I finally came to the capital and paid a visit to her. If she was polite, she should meet herself.
A man sat in the side hall and waited for a while. Wu sent someone to look for him. He followed the servant girl through the long corridor and came to the flower hall for visitors.
At the head sat a graceful lady with a plump face. Fang Yizheng had seen her once before and recognized that she was Wu, the wife of Shangshu. After the ceremony, Wu began to gossip with him.
“Why are you free to come to the capital?” in Wu’s memory, the Fang family is in a remote mountain village. It takes more than ten days to come here.
Fang Yizheng respectfully replied: “this time, I came to the capital for business. When I thought of Mrs. Gu, I came to see general.”
Wu nodded and said, “it’s difficult for you to remember me.”
While they were chatting, Wu Shi also looked at Fang Yizheng. He hadn’t seen Fang Yizheng for more than three years. This Fang Yizheng has changed a lot. Today, he is wearing a blue robe with a beautiful jade tied on the same color. His hair is half tied with a blue ribbon. It doesn’t look like a vulgar farmer, but like a handsome childe.
“You have changed a lot since I haven’t seen you for three years.” Wu was very happy when he looked at Fang Yizheng’s polite behavior and nodded again and again.
“Madam hasn’t changed at all. She’s still the same as before.”
“What a talkative child.” Wu nodded and asked hesitantly, “is your sister all right? Is there anyone else?”
“She’s fine. Her family has promised others for her.” Fang Yizheng replied.
“That’s good.” Wu nodded and remembered that Fang ruxiu’s eyes were also a little red. After all, it was her daughter who had been in pain at the tip of her heart. She had been living in a poor farmhouse. Her heart was also sorry. She felt a little distressed when she thought about it. Even her eyes were red. Her feelings were sincere and didn’t seem to be fake.
“Madam, since I miss her, I’ll bring her to see you next time,” Fang Yizheng said.
“No,” Wu waved his hand and said, “I’m sorry for her.”
“Ruxiu, she won’t blame you.” Fang Yizheng hurriedly said, “she is a very open-minded girl and broad-minded. She certainly won’t hate you because of the past. Besides, your practice is right. Although it’s somewhat unreasonable, it’s reasonable. Even if my sister was a little unhappy in the past, she has put it down now.”
Since she is not her daughter, she naturally did not ask her to help raise her daughter. Fang Yizheng understood this truth. Moreover, from his perspective, he even thanked her. Without her, where could he get such a good sister? Even now, everything in the family is thanks to Fang ruxiu.
Wu closed her eyes slightly when she heard Fang Yizheng’s words. What she did was not only unreasonable, but clearly heartless. She didn’t know why she made such a decision in those years, and she had never seen her or cared about her for so long, but just let her sink in the mud. She said she was too busy. She was in charge of the backyard of the Shangshu mansion. Countless pairs of eyes looked at her. She didn’t dare to take the wrong step. What’s more, now her own daughter in the mansion has come back. If she knew she was still thinking about her, she would be very sad. For various reasons, she never went to see her again, nor did she send someone to ask.
Farm conditions are difficult. She has been a pampered girl since childhood. It must be very difficult to go there.
After chatting for a while, Wu clapped his hands and asked his servant to hold a box for Fang Yizheng. Fang Yizheng opened it and found that there were hundreds of liang of gold and silver in it. He was a little unhappy in his heart. He quickly refused: “nephew, this time, he didn’t come to play the autumn wind, but just wanted to see sister Yiyue.”
“I know it’s just my intention. Please don’t refuse,” Wu said kindly.
Fang Yi is a man of great self-esteem. He knows what Wu means. He is worried about the poverty of his family, so he wants to help him. He is not an uninterested person, but he doesn’t want to be looked down upon by others. Moreover, if Wu wanted to help, he would have sent someone to visit him in those years, instead of waiting for him to come. He is not a beggar.
“I took the liberty to come here and didn’t prepare any gifts for my wife. How can I accept them?” Fang Yizheng repeatedly refused. In fact, he brought a gift. He bought some ruler heads from the shops in the capital, but Wu also despised it.
“If madam is really kind, please let me meet sister Yiyue. I handed over a prayer note some time ago, but I don’t know why my sister didn’t see me. I think the rules in the house are strict. But I’m just a brother and sister to my sister. Please rest assured.” Fang Yizheng thought Gu Yiyue didn’t see him as a ghost made by Wu, but in fact, Fang Yiyue didn’t want to see him.
“It’s not easy for you to come. You should meet me. I’m not the narrow-minded person you think.” Wu asked someone to invite Gu Yiyue.
After a while, Gu Yiyue came over. Compared with the past, she has really changed too much. She has become beautiful and beautiful. There is a touch of pride among her eyebrows, which is completely different from the past.
“Yiyue, come here quickly. This is your brother of the Fang family. You haven’t seen each other for several years. Come and meet and talk.” Wu saw Gu Yiyue appear, kindly waved her over and asked her to meet Fang Yizheng.
Gu Yiyue involuntarily saluted and called big brother. Fang Yizheng was overjoyed. Wu asked them to go to the back garden and talk quietly.
The back garden of Shangshu mansion is very large. At the moment of the handover of spring and summer, it can be described as a hundred flowers competing for beauty. There is also a small lake in the back garden. The lotus leaves stand tall and graceful. Walk through the small bridge and come to the Pavilion by the lake.
“Brother Fang, aren’t you in the countryside? How did you come to the capital?” different from the warm collaterals in front of Wu, Gu Yiyue’s eyebrows and eyes are a little rusty.
“Send an old man to the capital, think of your sister, and come and have a look,” Fang Yizheng said.
“Elder brother Fang, I’m fine, and I’m going to get married soon, so it’s inconvenient to meet a foreign man.” Gu Yiyue said a lot. Fang Yizheng glanced at it and said with some disdain: “imitate the East. Did you spend a lot of money on this suit of clothes?”
Fang Yizheng was a little unhappy immediately. “Yiyue, do you think I don’t understand idioms?” he didn’t see it for a long time. He thought she should be ecstatic. He thought her attitude towards them three years ago was because she was new here and was not used to it, so he didn’t expect that she would have this attitude.
“Brother Fang, anyway, I thank you for your kindness in raising me, but now we are not passers-by.” Fang Yiyue said, taking a box from the servant girl behind her. She opened it and handed it to Fang Yizheng. “Here is one hundred Liang, which must be more than enough to cover my previous living expenses.”
The glittering silver almost dazzled his eyes. He is not the country boy who has not seen money before. They must not know that they are not short of money now. There are tens of thousands of taels of silver in his hand. How can he see these.
But what he cared about was her attitude. When he grew up, he no longer felt sad and hated for her one or two words as before. But it was because I grew up that I became more sensitive to her attitude.
His hand tightened in the sleeve cage, his finger touched a smooth white hairpin in the sleeve cage, stroked his thumb at the tip, and pressed hard, which stabbed his thumb to bleed.
“Sister, do you mean to break off the relationship with us?” Fang Yizheng asked.
“Brother Fang, you misunderstood me. I’ve never had anything to do with you. I’m the eldest lady of the Gu family. Your Fang family is just mud legs in the countryside. What can we do?” Fang Yiyue raised his mouth and said something very hurtful.
“Is it false that big brother hurt you so much?” Fang Yizheng asked.
“Now the servant girls and boys around me are a hundred times better than you. They will do whatever I ask them to do. You have to refuse again and again when I asked you to do things for me.” Fang Yiyue recalled that she was very dissatisfied. Now she eats delicacies and wears silks and satins. The servant girls and servants hug each other, even if there are some troublesome things, That’s hundreds of times better than before!
All the bad luck she suffered was caused by the Fang family. Do they still have the face to tell her about the past? It was a great kindness to them that she could let him in. You know, not everyone in the Shangshu mansion can come in.
Now she thought of the past, only the hungry life, the endless work and endless scolding, how could she think of half warmth?
