Chapter 111 Gone with the Wind
Something happened in Ding capital, the head of the Fang family, Fang Jingzi, came back.It's just that the first thing he did after he came back was to rush to the Guozijian in a panic. He didn't even go back to Fang's family to take a look, and he didn't even have time to change his official uniform.

People were very curious about what happened in the Guozijian, so Fang Jingzi, who finally came back once a year, rushed over.

It wasn't until Fang Jingzi came out with a woman in a light blue dress in his arms that people knew that the former Mrs. Fang and now Mrs. Fang had passed away.

People can't help sighing, there are many talented women like Su Wanqing who are knowledgeable and proficient in the Four Books and Five Classics, but there are very few talented women like her who come out of the backyard to teach and even look at the Imperial Academy's offering wine with admiration, and she is the only one now.

But it was such a female gentleman who ended up in jail, and finally died bearing the infamy of a murderer.

Those who knew the truth kept sighing, and those who didn't know the truth said that women just can't show their faces, the most poisonous slander words for women, without any scruples about the reputation of this lady.

What was even more shocking was that Fang Jingzi actually handed over Su Wanqing's body to the Su family, saying that it would be buried in the Su family's ancestral grave.

Under normal circumstances, a married woman is buried in her husband's house when she dies, not in her natal family at all, and only men can be buried in the family with her original surname.If a woman is buried in her natal family, it is a kind of disrespect to her natal family's ancestral grave, and it is even more an insult to her husband's family.

And what Fang Jingzi did was to bury Su Wanqing back to the ancestral grave as a man. There has never been a precedent for such a shocking thing.

When the master of the Su family and the wife of the Su family were heartbroken, they did not hesitate to take their daughter's body over when they knew that Fang Jingzi had sent the body back to her family's ancestral grave.After the first seven days, he was buried in the ancestral grave according to his status as a man, and a memorial tablet was set up in the ancestral hall.

In the Su family ancestral hall, Su Wanqing was the first married woman to enter the ancestral hall.

Fang Jingzi was also unexpectedly quiet, and he didn't feel at all that the Su family was slapping the Fang family in the face by doing so.

Usually Fang Jingzi has a gentle and cheerful personality, and often goes shopping with Fang Shuoming in his arms.But now he is extremely silent and rarely talks to others.It's just that every day I stand in the gazebo where Su Wanqing reads, looking at the beautifully blooming irises outside, it seems that I am remembering the quiet and calm woman before.

"Daddy, can you go out to play with Shuoming? Shuoming wants Daddy to play with Shuoming." A cute little boy ran over on short legs, pulled the man's sleeve and said with anticipation in his eyes.

"Shuoming, Daddy has something to do right now, so go back to your room and read a book. How about playing with Shuoming when Daddy is free?" Fang Jingzi hid the sadness in his eyes and said with a forced smile.

"Okay, Shuoming will go back and read." Fang Shuoming has always been very well-behaved, he immediately listened to the man's words, and never pestered him unreasonably.

"When my mother comes back from my grandfather's house, I will be very happy to know that Shuoming can recite the "Book of Songs." Fang Shuoming was smiling, and he didn't feel at all that the person he was looking forward to returning was no longer there.

"Shuoming is so good, when mother comes back, daddy will take you shopping, okay?" Fang Jingzi knelt down and patted Fang Shuoming's head and said.

"Okay." Fang Shuoming replied sweetly, and then ran back to the study to read.

Seeing Fang Shuoming's little back running back to the study, Fang Jingzi couldn't help being dazed, his eyes darkened.

She... can't come back anymore, all he can do is send her back to Su's house.Fang's family became a cage that imprisoned her for the rest of her life. She would be free when she returned to Su's family, and her wish to enter the ancestral hall as a man must be considered fulfilled.

In the room next to the gazebo, there were two female voices, one of them was hoarse and yelling hysterically.

"How can Su Wanqing be buried in the Su family? She has already married into the Fang family, and is the daughter-in-law of the Fang family. Instead of being buried in her husband's house, she was buried in her mother's house. What do people in the capital think of our Fang family?" Pan was like a The shrew yelled with her arms akimbo.

"Mother, please keep your voice down. What's wrong with Wanqing being buried in her mother's house? She is from the Su family, why can't she be buried in the Su family?" Fang Yunni frowned and said.

"What's wrong with being buried in her natal home?" Mrs. Pan walked in front of Fang Yunni, "There is no reason in this world for a woman to be buried in her natal home. Su Wanqing was buried in her natal home, so what should Jingzi do? What if Jingzi walks in the court?" Let others take a high look, and they must laugh in their hearts. Xiao Jingzi can't even look down on a daughter-in-law, and even the dead body will be taken away by her mother's family."

"This Su family is really, the daughters are all married, and they even buried their daughters in the ancestral grave with a shy face. It's fine to laugh at them, but where will Jingzi's face be put?" Pan said more and more angrily, He walked directly towards the door, and said as he walked, "No, I'm going to the Su family to discuss the theory. After all, I belong to the Zanying family. How can I do such an insignificant thing?"

Fang Yunni saw Pan walking towards the door, and said that she wanted to find a theory with the Su family, so she quickly stopped Pan.

"Mother, can we not be ashamed? Last time the Cao family came to the Fang family to make trouble, the Fang family was ridiculed. If you go to the Su family to make trouble this time, where will the Fang family's face be put?"

Hearing what Fang Yunni said, Mrs. Pan was not happy.

"Yun Ni, why are you turning your elbows outward? When Su Wanqing was alive before, you just turned towards her. Now that Su Wanqing is dead, why are you still facing the Su family? I see, you are bewildered, day by day I know how to protect Su Wanqing. If I knew I shouldn’t have let her come to teach you in the first place, this teaching confused you and took away Jingzi’s soul. She is doing this dirty thing herself , how can I teach others well? How about a female teacher.”

"Dirty things? What did Wan Qing do dirty things?" Fang Yunni asked back.

"Look at what you said. Didn't she do anything dirty? She went to the Imperial College to show her face before she was alive, but she was buried in her natal family after her death. It's shameful. This is what she did wrong. She didn't stay in the mansion properly. If you go out to fool around, what else are you doing if you're not doing dirty things?" Pan Shi yelled confidently with her hands on her hips.

"But she preached in the Imperial College and taught many excellent students, and this time it was the eldest brother who sent the body back to the Su family." Fang Yunni shouted with reddened eyes, "Wan Qing deserves to enter the ancestral grave as a man, Enter the ancestral hall. Although she is a woman, she is better than many men."

"Everyone in the capital can scold Wan Qing, but you can't, my mother. If it wasn't for your mother who didn't know Zhu Sha and poisoned Mrs. Cao's family, the Cao family wouldn't come and take the opportunity to make trouble, and neither would Wan Qing. Take the blame for you and go to the cell, and become a murderer in people's mouth." Fang Yunni cried and said with her shoulders trembling slightly.

"If it wasn't after Wan Qing gave birth to Shuoming, you asked those concubines to enter the mansion to cheer Wan Qing, how could Wan Qing not conceive again? At that time, her eldest brother was at the border, and Wan Qing was in confinement alone and urgently needed someone to take care of her. But you pushed Pai Gow all day and all night, and you transferred all the servants who took care of Wan Qing. Wan Qing had no one to take care of her, so her body became weaker and weaker, and she died alone in the cell. Don’t you is that clear?"

Hearing Fang Yunni's hysterical roar, Mrs. Pan was stunned for a moment, and then screamed and retorted: "But she is voluntary, and I didn't force her to help me take the blame. Besides, I am her mother-in-law, and she takes the scapegoat for her mother-in-law as a daughter-in-law." Is there something wrong?"

Fang Yunni stared blankly at Pan's ferocious face for a long while, and said, "Mother, you let me down so much." After speaking, she wiped the tears from her face and walked out of the room.

Fang Jingzi, outside the door, listened to the quarrel inside, clenched his fists unconsciously, his eyes glazed over.

Did she have such a hard time?She didn't want to delay his official career and persuaded him to go to the border and stay alone in the mansion.She clearly knew that her mother would not take good care of her, but she still persuaded him.

It was strange that she had to be pregnant again, and her body was getting weaker and weaker. It turned out that she had endured more than he imagined.But even if she was wronged, she never told him, and he didn't know about it.

If she said it, he would definitely stay with her.Don't let her stay in the mansion alone, don't let her be wronged again.

But it was too late, she was... gone.

The man stood in front of the door, pursing his lips for a long while, and weeping.

"Wan Qing, I'm sorry."

In front of the Imperial College, Jiang Wen handed Fang Jingzi a bouquet of irises.

"Here, these are the irises from the Imperial College. Fang's family also grows irises, so why use the irises from the Imperial College to visit her?"

Fang Jingzi took the iris, lowered his eyes and said: "Because she doesn't like the iris in Fangfu. Before, I couldn't figure out why she liked the iris, but now I figured it out, and she's gone."

"Thank you, Master Jiang." Fang Jingzi raised his eyes and said.

Jiang Wen shook his head and said, "You don't need to thank me. If I hadn't gone to the Su family to invite her to teach at the Imperial College, she might be happier now."

"No, she will be very grateful to Mrs. Jiang. If she had the chance to choose, she would rather go to the Imperial College to teach and die in misery than a life of mediocrity." Fang Jingzi looked at the iris in his hand and said, saluting Jiang Wen and then leave.

"Master Fang, if you don't mind, I can be Mr. Shuo Ming." Jiang Wen said.

Fang Jingzi looked back at Jiang Wen in surprise.

Jiang Wen, as the sacrificial wine of the Guozijian, is the best gentleman in the Guozijian.Many aristocratic families in Southern Chu wanted Jiang Wen to assist their sons in their studies, but Jiang Wen refused one by one. Up to now, Jiang Wen has not accepted a single inner school student who specializes in tutoring.Unexpectedly, he would take the initiative to talk to him about being Shuo Ming's teacher.

Jiang Wen also knew that what he said was a bit abrupt, so he explained with a smile: "Shuoming has been diligent and studious at a young age, he is a talented person, and he will become a very powerful gentleman in time. And she passed away. The only thing I can do for her."

"If you are so brilliant, please leave it to Mr. Jiang." Fang Jingzi bowed deeply to Jiang Wen.

"Lord Fang, you are too serious." Jiang Wen sideways avoided Fang Jingzi's salute, and bowed his hands to Fang Jingzi in return.

In an open place, there is a gentle breeze here, and there are beautiful and affectionate flowers.Under the green willow tree, a man stood in front of a tombstone, touched the bright red lettering pattern on the monument with his hand, and put a bunch of blue irises in front of the monument.

"Dead... It's fine, you can live the life you want."

In Fang Mansion, Fang Jingzi was walking towards the entrance of Fang Mansion with his luggage on his back. Mrs. Pan hurried over from the side and held Fang Jingzi's arm tightly, shouting, "Jingzi, where are you going?"

Fang Jingzi turned around and looked at his mother for a while, and said, "Mother, my son has been thinking about it for a long time. Wanqing is gone, and my son doesn't want to stay in the capital anymore. My son is going to ask Lord Shangshu for instructions to stay at the border, and he will not return to Dingjing in the future." .”

Pan's eyes widened, and after a while, tears shed, "No, you are the only one to rely on, my mother. You left, what do you ask my mother to do?"

"Fang's mansion has the property left by the father and son. The money is enough for my mother to live in the capital for a lifetime. Shuoming, I have already entrusted Yun Ni to take care of him. Mr. Lin has a gentle temperament and is a good friend of the son in the court. I also agree. Let Yun Ni take Shuoming back to the Lin family to live. With Master Jiang taking Shuoming with him, his son can leave without any worries."

After Fang Jingzi finished speaking, he pulled the sleeve out of Pan's hand and walked towards the door.

"No, Jingzi, you can't go. Your mother raised you so hard, you can't go." Crying, Pan was about to pull Fang Jingzi's arm, but was stopped by Fang Yunni who came from the side.

"Mother, let elder brother go. Elder brother has always listened to you. This time, let elder brother make a decision according to his own wishes." Fang Yunni said looking at Fang Jingzi's leaving back.

"And I'm going back to Lin's house soon. Lin Lang will send someone to pick me up tomorrow. Mom, please do it yourself." After speaking, Fang Yunni turned and left.

Covering her face, Pan fell to the ground and cried, "Why did you leave? I obviously did nothing wrong, and I thought about everything for you. Why do you have to leave? I didn't do anything. You all left, What should I do? Come back to me."

But no one heard, and no one stayed.

In the Ministry of War, as soon as Fang Jingzi walked out of Zheng Shen's room, he saw a man in an indigo brocade suit standing in front of the door.

The man's eyes were cold, and when he saw him coming out, he asked aloud, "Are you leaving?"

"Well, Xiaguan has already asked Lord Shangshu for instructions to stay at the border. There is nothing to miss in the capital without her." Fang Jingzi smiled wryly.

"It seems that you have found your way home, the road ahead is long, please take care." Qi Ze cupped his hands.

"The next official hasn't thanked Mr. Qi properly, thanked Mr. Qi for protecting Fang's family, and took Wan Qing to the Imperial College to spend the last journey of his life." Fang Jingzi bowed and saluted.

"This official is also acting under the behest of Master Shangshu. If you want to thank Master Fang, you can thank Master Shangshu." Qi Ze glanced at the blue iris not far away, and said, "She told me that when you tell her When she proposed, she was actually very happy."

Fang Jingzi seemed to be a little dazed, and after a while, he laughed at himself and said: "I understand in my heart that she has never loved me. It's just that she wants to follow everything in this world, following the morals of a woman who wants to marry her husband and teach her children. But I was serious at the time, and it took me a long time to pluck up the courage to propose to her. I didn't expect her to say that she was actually very happy at the time."

He remembered that when he was going to propose marriage in the Imperial College, he knew that she liked irises, especially the irises in the Imperial College.So he proposed while she was studying in the gazebo.

At that time, he was very nervous, afraid that she would refuse.But she just froze for a moment, then nodded and agreed, without the slightest bit of shyness that a woman should have, and she was always very quiet.

She is different from other women.Although she has a gentle smile on her face, she seems to be very indifferent to feelings. She has never cared about the relationship between a man and a woman. She has always been sober, except that she likes to read books.From the moment she nodded without thinking, he knew that she didn't love him at all, and she didn't fall in love with anyone else, it was just a choice she had to make because of the ignorance of the world.

But he actually really likes her, not because of his father's secret arrangement, but because he just likes her.I like her gentle smile and the way she reads quietly.Even if she doesn't love him, he doesn't care in his heart.As long as she is good, he will be good.

So he treated her very well after marriage. He knew that his mother would be unreasonable and she would be wronged, so he kept telling his mother to be nice to her.But she was very stubborn, even if she was wronged, she never said anything.

He has always had a question, at that time there were many princes from aristocratic families, but why did she choose him alone?
The Su family's family status is not low, and it is not difficult to find a well-matched family.

Just as Fang Jingzi was thinking, a warm voice came.The other party seemed to know what he was thinking, and said that sentence lightly.

"Maybe it's because you are worthy of her dependence. It's just that life is too hard, and she goes through this sad life very quickly. Maybe at a certain moment she really wants to live a good life with you, not just making do with it, just being with you."

After Qi Ze finished speaking, he left, leaving the man behind him in a daze, stopping for a long time.

It turned out that she had thought about it and was sincere.

That's why she waited for the irises to bloom in Fang Mansion, and waited for him to come back.

It's just that she was...disappointed with such a life.

In Fang Mansion, a little boy watched the iris quietly, and didn't come back to his senses until a voice came from behind him.

"Shuoming, what are you looking at?"

The little boy turned around with a book in his arms.The book had yellowed paper and a dark blue cover.

"Auntie, the irises have fallen, and Daddy has left too." Fang Shuoming said sadly.

"The flowering period of irises has always been very short." Fang Yunni said with a smile, then walked up to the boy and knelt down, "Do you want Shuoming to live with your aunt in the future? Uncle will also take Shuoming to go shopping."

Fang Shuoming lowered his head and said nothing, Fang Yunni looked at the book in his arms and asked, "Does Shuoming want to kiss your mother?"

"Well, the eldest brother said that my mother was ill and went to a far away place, and became a star in the sky, always accompanying Shuoming."

Fang Yunni looked at Fang Shuoming, her eyes were slightly red, "Yes, mother has become a star, and she has been accompanying Shuoming in the sky. Mother, she did not break her promise."

Fang Shuoming looked at the books in his arms, the corners of his mouth curled up to cover up the sadness in his eyes, and he raised his small hands for Fang Yunni to read.

"Girl, mother's irises have fallen, Shuoming is no longer a child, he can learn "Book of Changes" now."

"Okay, Shuoming has grown up, let's go back and study "Book of Changes." Fang Yunni held Fang Shuoming in her arms.

"Shuoming will be the most powerful teacher in the future, and he will teach the most difficult one." The little boy said happily with a smile in his eyes.

In a hidden private room in Chenyue Building, the man in white looked at the backs of Yun Ni and Fang Shuoming leaving in front of the Fangjia gate in the distance, and couldn't help but sighed: "Oh, let's go to the cold tea. Fang's mansion, which was so lively before, suddenly disappeared. So calm down."

The purple-clothed boy just looked at the white-clothed man, continued to drink tea with his head bowed, and didn't speak.

"Yelan, why don't you think Su Wanqing takes medicine? Although the disease can't be cured, it can be delayed for a while. As the saying goes, it's better to die than to live. Only by living can there be hope." Meng Yanxi leaned on the bed said the chair.

The purple-clothed boy put down the teacup in his hand, looked at the deserted Fang's house for a while, and said, "I'm probably disappointed with this life, and this is not the life she wanted." The boy stood up with calm eyes, " Sometimes death is not a kind of relief."
