Because his father offended the emperor, Liu Chengxu felt that the future was bleak and could only work hard. Although a county magistrate is not as high-ranking as a Beijing official, as a seal official, he has the power in hand and is not inferior to others, which is still very good.
It is Shanyang County that is not easy to govern. Since ancient times, the four words "complicated", "difficult", "tired" and "rush" have been used to classify the official selection areas into "most important", "important" and "rush". "Zhongque" and "Jianque", Linzhou Prefecture is the most complicated place in Dalin, and Shanyang County is the most complicated place in Linzhou Prefecture.
Within a year, he already had a plan and was often too busy to eat.
Mrs. Fu in the mansion did send someone to deliver meals, but all the food she delivered was bland, because Mrs. Fu thought it was for his health. But he is from Huguang and has always loved spicy and salty food, as well as river fresh food, but not seafood.
Just like the clams in clam soup, there is always a black stuff inside, which tastes like shit when eaten. After he said it, Mr. Fu said that it was all made in this way, and Liu Chengxu couldn't be picky anymore.
If a life like this continued normally, Liu Chengxu thought that he and Mrs. Fu would probably respect each other as guests, but he didn't expect that something would happen after all when he took office in Shanyang County.
The bandits were about to break into the city. It was said that they had already killed the county magistrate of a city. Liu Chengxu thought that he might have to confess here today. After all, he was the county magistrate and could not abandon the city and escape.
But the Liu family has no descendants, and now they can only send a few people out. For the first time, he feels selfish, because he wants to send Mrs. Fu and a pair of children out, but the others, such as Aunt Su and Aunt Ding, have no choice.
At the critical moment, he said to Mrs. Fu: "The two children will trouble you in the future. If I am gone, I don't need you to keep filial piety to me. You are still young. But the two children are the flesh and blood of our Liu family after all. This Give this letter to my mother and she will set you free."
Mrs. Fu burst into tears. Liu Chengxu saw how weak she was and pushed her into the car cruelly: "You go, don't remember me in the future."
"Master, I want to stay and live and die with you." Fu said earnestly.
Liu Chengxu knew that she had a good heart and was not a bad person, but she just had a problem with her ability. But at this time, he had to keep his wife and children safe, so he said cruelly: "You still have Shu Zhao and Li Jia, let's go quickly, I have to go up to the city tower, and the city gate will be closed soon, and I won't be able to leave. "
Mrs. Fu had no choice but to leave in tears. Liu Chengxu looked at concubines Ding and Su, feeling very ashamed. Aunt Su was still alive and her eyes were about to burst into flames, but Aunt Ding was very calm and composed at this time.
"Leave the house to Aunt Ding, and I'm going to the tower." Liu Chengxu and Aunt Ding looked at each other, and Aunt Ding nodded firmly, not looking squeamish at all.
Everyone thought it would be a certain death, but they didn't expect that Shanyang County was saved and everyone survived, but Fu and his party disappeared without a trace.
A few months later, Fu's body was picked up. Her face was completely unrecognizable, but the clothes she was wearing and the jewelry on her head were undoubtedly Fu's.
Liu Chengxu couldn't help but feel extremely guilty. If it weren't for his orders that went wrong, Mrs. Fu would have been fine in the city, but her two children might have been washed away by the river because they were too young. He no longer had the intention to pursue a career and felt extremely guilty, even though everyone told him that such a thing was an accident.
But he just killed Fu and a pair of children, and there was something wrong with his decision-making.
But he was still immersed in grief
At that time, his mother was clamoring to marry him another wife. Liu Chengxu was very puzzled and refused: "Mom, this is not good, it is unnecessary."
"It's unnecessary, have you always been depressed? Your father and brother don't know when they will recover, and maybe they won't recover in their lifetime. Do you want to remember and be sad like this for the rest of your life? Now the whole fate of the Liu family is on you. ." My mother said harshly.
Liu Chengxu had no choice but to nod. He was marrying Mrs. Fu's biological sister, Mrs. Fu. She had a pretty face and a slight frown, like a beauty. There was wisdom in her eyes. He felt his heart beat a little.
Liu Chengxu despised his behavior very much. He never thought that he would be so shameless. His wife died, but he could be happy with his new wife. This was unfaithful to Mrs. Fu, and he felt that he was not a human being.
But the longer he got to know her, he discovered that Mrs. Fu was actually a concubine. She was not treated well by her natal family. The Fu family disliked her and married her in order to maintain the marriage relationship. Moreover, she had a considerate temperament and was close to him. Communication is often understood by two people just by looking at each other without saying a word.
In his previous life, no one had ever understood him so well and tolerated him so well.
Just because he didn't like the black spots on clams, she ordered her servants or picked out the black ones herself, learned how to cook Huguang cuisine, and went crazy with him.
They would cherish flowers together, and they would look at the moon and think about their thoughts together. She never asked him to echo those words about career and economy, but instead praised him for his character.
Liu Chengxu was also very happy from it. He really liked her very much, especially after she became pregnant. The relationship between the two took a further step. When the love was strong, there was no one else.
Even after she gave birth to a daughter, her mother was slightly dissatisfied and wanted to give her to another person, but he refused for the first time.
"My son already has two concubines, and Aunt Su has also given birth to two sons and one daughter. Qiujun's birth is going smoothly now, and she will be recuperated in the future. There is no need to be too anxious."
I don’t know if his words had an effect, and my mother no longer gave them to people directly. He and Qiu Jun had a very close relationship.
I just didn't expect that Mrs. Fu would come back at her daughter Lishu's first birthday party. She described herself as haggard and had gone through a lot of hardships before she came back. Liu Chengxu's hand holding little Mrs. Fu seemed to be burned. He didn't know what kind of suffering Mrs. Fu had suffered. Maybe her body had also been defiled. It was so difficult, but she still came back.
But I have a new love, and I love you and me.
Little Fu was also very sensitive, and she avoided seeing her. However, Fu had suffered for many years, and her hands had become rough, she also had frostbite, and her body had even become much weaker.
Liu Chengxu didn't know how to face it. He felt that he was escaping, but although escaping was shameful, it was very useful.
When Mrs. Fu smiled and said to him: "Since I'm back, I can't harm Qiu Jun. She came in on my behalf. I think so, why not let her go back to her natal family and remarry. We will give her another dowry, which is Li Shu." I have it in my name too.”
Liu Chengxu denied it without thinking: "No, she has already been married once, what kind of good person can she marry again?" He knew very well the status of the little Fu family in his natal family. The Fu family was not kind to her. In the past years, he had With support, Mr. Fu's life will be easier, so what if he goes back rashly now?
Mrs. Fu stopped there, but Liu Chengxu turned around and went back to the study. He asked himself, was he really doing this for Mr. Fu? It's still his selfishness.
later,
Hearing that Mr. Fu secretly sent someone to ask Mr. Fu to go back, but Mr. Fu was unwilling, Liu Chengxu felt inexplicably relieved.
The days went by like this. Mrs. Fu was indeed not in good health. Liu Chengxu returned to his former self, as if he was still the same as before.
Just deliberately ignoring it may not necessarily mean that he really can't remember it. In the dead of night, he often thinks of the scene when the couple looked at the moon by the window.
It wasn't until a few years later that Liu Chengxu saw the handsome young Mr. Fu dressed in white that he realized how selfish he was.
The person who suffered the most at this time was obviously little Fu, who had done nothing wrong. She was obviously as good as him, but she suddenly became an unknown concubine.
It's all his fault!
Somehow he suddenly understood his thoughts in the dark clouds and saw his own light. He finally realized his mistake.
People should live according to their own wishes. Everything that happens may not be perfect. Why should people do things with perfection?
After regaining Qiu Jun, he realized that the backyard seemed peaceful, but in fact there were problems everywhere.
Qiu Jun was favored, and everyone around Fu and Aunt Su wanted Qiu Jun to have an abortion. He didn't expect that these people's beautiful faces were all full of evil tricks.
"Why is this happening?" he asked little Fu.
Little Fu smiled and said: "This has always been the case. The eldest sister is a Buddha. If she doesn't care, the hearts of the people below will become bigger. I just don't allow you and the eldest sister to be angry. I think it must be the people around her who make their own decisions. She’s not like that.”
Liu Chengxu felt that he was blind. He always felt sorry for Mrs. Fu. But to be fair, he sent her out just to save Mrs. Fu. After he came back, he never mentioned any of her past and strictly prohibited people in the house from talking about her. Even in I tried my best to deal with him in front of my parents, but I felt it was not enough.
But now that I think about it, little Mrs. Fu has been left out for several years, and the prickly heat on her daughter Lishu's body looks shocking. These were all done by servants. Could it be that Mrs. Fu really didn't indulge at all?
This is unknown.
A few months later, Qiujun gave birth to a son, and Lishu was very cute. Every time he saw Lishu, he felt that she was really a beautiful person. It was obvious that she was more than ten times more talented than her brothers and sisters.
Later, it turned out that he was right about people. Lishu definitely studied very hard and was very talented. She had a beautiful imagination, was cautious in doing things, and was very ambitious.
As for her promotion from Jiujiang to the official position, Qiu Jun gave herself too many surprises. She could draw the prisoners' faces lifelike, and she was also sharp enough that he was soon released to patrol as a censor.
Later, when his official career became smooth and he was asked to be granted a royal title, it was a matter of course that he asked for a royal title for the young Fu family.
This actually caused dissatisfaction with the Fu family. The mother-in-law came to talk to her about how difficult it was for Mrs. Fu: "She is living abroad with her two children, and Shu Zhao has also gone. She is obviously the first wife, but someone else came to her. If it weren't for her to you, How come your relationship is so awkward in your family? Qiu Jun, she originally had a marriage. Our Fu family has never disliked the poor and loved the rich, but she was good at making decisions. She said no to your mother, so I had to help her, so In the past few years, I have never said a single word "no", but now if you give your imperial edict to Qiujun and ignore Chunhua, are you right for Chunhua and the dead Shuzhao?"!
