In the evening, Zhao Fuxian came back, but he was very happy. Mom Zhao closed the door and began to tell Dad Zhao what she said today. She was furious at first, then sighed: I didn't expect my wife to be so dissolute. Fortunately, Zhao's family endured humiliation for so long, which is really not worth it.
Zhao Fu smiled and said, "Yes, yes. Humiliated? Now is a good time to make up for it. You don't know, I got the news today that Master Zhu angered many senior officials because of the words in the book and was demoted again. Now his official position is lower than mine, and his official position is even worse than Wenkang. We don't have to worry anymore. "
"Is this really the case?" Zhao mother be sighs, "that's right. In the past, due to the level of official position, Zhu Fu was given some face, which also made us Wenkang suffer a lot. Now that Zhu Fu is gone, Shu has really done such an immoral thing. I must ask Wenkang to divorce her, and then we can solve our dissatisfaction and resentment. "
"Oh, no," Zhao's father analyzed. "It's a shame to divorce my wife now. People say we're ungrateful when we're down. Besides, the publicity of this matter, although the fault lies in Zhu Fu, will also have a bad impact on our reputation. In recent years, Wenkang has been looking for flowers everywhere, but he doesn't know how to converge, which makes people know a little. If you really divorce your wife, I don't know how many gossips will scold Wenkang. " Zhao Fu took a sip of tea.
"So what now? Don't you care about this? "
"Naturally not. Pick some nice gifts tomorrow, and we will visit you in person and invite Shu Zhen back. First of all, I got a good reputation for kindness and integrity in time; Secondly, it's up to you how to discipline Shu Zhen after she returns to the government. Are you afraid that she can't complain? "
Mother Zhao couldn't help laughing and added, "Is Shu really willing to come back? Zhu Fu is willing to let her come back? "
Father Zhao has a well-thought-out plan: "That's not up to them." Satisfiedly smiled and said.
Just then, Zhao came back. Knowing what had happened, he was furious and agreed to Zhao Fu's arrangement. After going out, I saw the moon in the sky, lonely and lonely. I can't help thinking of watching the moon at the window with Shu Zhen the night before. Memories, memories, and then to the door. When I saw Wen Kang coming back, I served him diligently. On second thought, he brought out what he had said, humiliated Zhu and spilled dirty water. But I didn't want to make Zhao angry, so I was kicked out by a phone call. Zhao sat alone, took out Zhu's paintings and poems, and remembered his former feelings. He was very emotional, silent for a long time and thought for a long time.
A gust of wind blew in the courtyard, and a begonia flower fell quietly.
The next morning, after breakfast, the three of them set out for Zhu Fu. Zhao's parents are elated and are thinking about how to be sarcastic, which makes it difficult for the Zhujiajian family to do it. Wen-silent and thoughtful. When he arrived in Qiantang, Zhao didn't go with him, but walked away without asking anyone to follow him. Mother Zhao thought she was too angry and didn't want to see him again, so she let him go. Wenkang is not here. Can't he be reprimanded more freely? Don't take Wenkang aside, but be careful not to hurt Wenkang's face.
When Zhu Fu arrived, everyone sat together, but their hearts were on tenterhooks. After tea, Zhao Momo said, "Send the maids. Not everyone can hear today's conversation. Naturally, we don't care about anything, but there is really nothing we can do about it. " When the servants retired, Aunt Zhao said, "If you like, you can stay. There is a person who has seen and heard so that no one can deny it. "
Zhu Fu had long expected that he would be furious, but he just thought that the Zhao family knew that they had been demoted again and their position was low, so they came to be sarcastic. Not bad, but now I am not as good as Zhao and his son in my official position. Only mother Zhao mentioned it, which made Zhu Fu very angry. She said: "Mrs. Zhao has a point, so there is no need to insinuate, not to mention Shu Zhen, to spread rumors and slander."
"Defamation? I wanted to talk in good faith, but now it seems unnecessary. " Mother Zhao proudly said, "Ruyi, tell everything you saw and heard that day."
? "That day, I came to Zhu Fu to send silks and satins, and I ran into my wife going out, but I was not allowed to follow her. I felt strange and followed her quietly. Who knows, who knows ... "
"Let's get this straight." Zhao's mother ordered.
"I saw my wife and a scholar alone in the room. They were discussing painting. Then, then, the scholar took his wife's hand and asked her to leave with her, and the two of them lived a good life. "
Mother Zhu got up angrily and said, "Nonsense, how can you defile people's innocence like this? Who ordered you? "
Ruyi knelt down in fear and said, "I'm not talking nonsense." I really saw it with my own eyes. Just in the old hut by the river, I also heard that my wife's name is Xiucai, and it seems that her name is Shao Zhi. "
When Zhu Fu and Zhu Mu heard the name, they were speechless with surprise. Zhu also didn't say anything. Although she was not afraid to admit it, she didn't know how to deal with it at the moment.
Seeing that the three men were indefensible, Mother Zhao said sarcastically, "I thought Zhu's scholarly family must have worked hard to raise their daughter, but I didn't expect Shu to be so dissolute. Fish begins to stink at the head, it is obvious that these two goddaughters are incompetent. I don't know if I'm too busy with business to discipline. If you can keep your job, you can also clean up your daughter and cover up the scandal. But now it is constantly being demoted, and the official position is not as good as our Zhao family. It's really that people go to the building, people go to the building, and the family is unfortunate! "
"You ..." Zhu Fu was speechless with anger, and Zhu Mu hurried forward to take care of it.
"I was wrong in this matter, just talking to Shao about poetry and painting, and there is nothing else. I have a clear conscience. This is Zhu Fu, please don't abuse it at will, otherwise please leave. " Shu Zhen retorted.
Mother Zhao never imagined that Shu would really respond like this. It is beneath her dignity to think of continuing to scold her, which makes her lose her upbringing. Now she doesn't know what to say at the moment.
Zhao Fu took a sip of tea and said, "What she said was really inappropriate, but it was also a moment of anger, which was hard to stop. But it is wrong for Shu Zhen to stay in a room alone with outsiders. Even if nothing is done, how many people will believe it when it comes out? It is said that you are negligent in discipline, but Shu really married Zhao Jialai, and we are negligent in discipline. Today, I'm here to bring back the Zhao family, also known as dispelling rumors. But don't worry, let Shu Zhen clean up. Three days later, we will send someone to pick up Shu Zhen and then return home with dignity. "
"I'm not going back, I'm not going back." Shu Zhen said.
"Don't go back? Do you really want to go with that poor scholar? You are not afraid of shame! But we still have to face it! " Zhao mother continued to scold sarcastically.
"Zhu Xiong, you should know, just now, a lot of things are not you can decide. This is not what it used to be! " Zhao Fuxiao smiled and walked away with Zhao Mu and his entourage.
For a moment, Zhu Fu said, "Today is not the same, today is not the same!" Zhu Fu stood up helplessly and sadly. When he was about to leave, he felt heavy and dizzy, and the whole person fell into his seat, unconscious. ...
Zhu Fu lay weakly in bed, drinking the soup prescribed by the doctor and saying nothing. Zhu Mu stood by, wiping her tears with a handkerchief. Shu Zhen went in and took Zhu Mu's hand. After a while, Zhu Mu said, "Shuer, I just want to ask you a question. Did you and Fang Shaozhi meet selflessly? Mom just wants to believe what you say, so you must tell the truth. "
Zhu nodded. Mother Zhu stood up, slapped Zhu in the face and said, "That man abandoned you for his own future. What possessed you? You went there to meet him. Now the Zhao family has seized the handle and humiliated it several times; Your father is so angry because he is worried about demotion, can he not get sick! " Zhu's mother was in tears. She hates Shu and is more worried about Zhu's health.
Shu Zhen also quietly shed tears. Zhu Fu called Shu Zhen to the bed and said, "Shu Er, what happened today is not entirely your fault. It was only because their father was demoted that they were so humiliated. It's dad. It's useless. He didn't protect you and made you suffer so much injustice. " Zhu Fu coughed again.
"No, dad, it's my fault. It's my fault. " Shu Zhen said.
"Now they want you to go back to Zhao. First, cover up this matter, don't be ashamed to ask questions, and add reputation to the Zhao family. Secondly, I'm afraid I'm going to humiliate and torture you in the Zhao family to relieve my hatred. Dad, even if he tried his best, he would never let you suffer like this. " Zhu Fu said earnestly.
"Work hard? Master, how do you protect Shu-er now? The officials you angered are all looking for opportunities to harm you. If you can't get the meaning of Zhao, even Zhao and his son will unite those officials to harm you. So what should we do? What should Shure and I do! " Zhu Mu said, and began to cry again. After a while, Zhu Mu said to Shu Zhen, "Shuer, don't blame your mother. It's just that you started it, and you must solve it. When you go back to the Zhao family, the two families will make up, and outsiders will no longer say anything, so that your father will be stable and will not aggravate his illness. "
"Nonsense! How can you have the heart to send Shuer sheep into the jaws of death! " Zhu Fu said angrily.
"Sir, I don't want to Shuer suffering? Just now, I really couldn't help it! "
Shu Zhen stood by, wiping away tears and said, "Dad, Mom, don't worry, I'll go back. Mom's right. I started it, so I have to solve it. Dad, you must take care of yourself. " Say, then out of the door, left alone.
Zhu Mu began to cry again and kept wiping with a handkerchief. Zhu Fu lay in bed, thinking about his helplessness and helplessness, thinking about the pain and loneliness in the Zhao family from now on. Hate their incompetence, worry about Shu Zhen, kept coughing.
Tonight, all three of them can't sleep. It rains all night and the sound of rain bursts.
Three days passed and night fell. Zhu once again quietly ventured out alone, but he also wanted to say goodbye to Fang Shaozhi. It's raining in Mao Mao outside, and it's a little cold.
When Zhu arrived, he knocked on the door gently, but no one answered. Pushing the door open, I realized that it was unlocked. The room was dark and silent. Suddenly, the light came on. Looking back, Zhu is Wen.
"Why are you here?" Zhu was a little surprised.
"The three-day deadline is coming. I guess you will come here to find him, so wait here. "
Zhu was a little ashamed: "I'm going back to Zhao's house tomorrow. But things have to be explained clearly, so I came. How is he? Where did he go? "
"Are you willing to account, but he is not necessarily so. Shu Zhen, I didn't go to Zhu Fu with my parents that day, but I came here to tell him that I know you. He immediately knelt in front of me and begged for mercy, saying it was just a moment of confusion and it was your idea. Then I took my money and left by myself. How can you not forget such a person? "
"You talk nonsense, I don't believe it, I don't believe it."
"Shu son, I have inquired. When he was in Zhu Fu before, he also passed the buck and abandoned you. Don't you believe me now? " Zhao's hand: "I've been thinking a lot these days, remembering when we were together." Shu Zhen, come back. We will be the same as before. I will treat you well and won't let anyone bully you. "
Zhu was hard to accept, broke Zhao's financial path and ran out alone.
The river is silent and drizzling. Zhu stood alone by the river, letting the cold wind blow and the drizzle hit him. I am deeply saddened to think of Fang Shaozhi's irresponsible remarks in Zhu Fu and what Zhao said to himself today. What reason does Zhao have to tell such a lie? I think so. It's really chilling to think that Shaozhi will make a change behind the party, but he doesn't want to remain such a cowardly person all the time. I am even more desperate at the thought of going back to the Zhao family tomorrow, enduring people's behind-the-scenes comments, the cynicism of my concubine, and the humiliation and bullying of Zhao's mother. Zhao said "the same as before", but times have changed and personnel have completely changed. How can we go back to the past, to the past? Like a caged bird, living in poverty and dying. I just hope that my parents will not be disturbed and live in peace.
Another gust of wind blew down many flowers and floated on the river. Zhu wants to leave one of the flowers on the shore, so as not to let it drift like himself. But the rain continued in Mao Mao, adding wet moss. Zhu accidentally slipped and fell into the river. ...
It's raining harder, it's smoky, and there's silence all around.
