Chapter 469 The Old Lady

(The first one!)

After listening to Nanny Feng's words, Mrs. Ji replied without even thinking, "I see, please go back and tell A Bi, Nanny Feng, I will take care of this matter."

Different from Shen Du and Gu Yan's various considerations, Ji's idea is very simple.Now that the Ninth Prince Zhu Xuanzhi is in the Shen family, Shen Du must get up, so that the Ninth Prince can regain power, and the Fan family strategy related to Fan Yi can take effect.

For the future of the Fan family, the Ji family must help Shen Du, so what need to be considered?

Moreover, although the Ji family is in the back house, but under the influence of Fan Taiyan for many years, she also has some experience in observing people and dealing with each other.Most of the people who have a smooth journey are able to move forward, but seldom reach the highest position, so the sage said: "Practicing the Buddha messes with what he does, so he moves his heart and patience, and gains what he cannot."
To gain what one cannot do is to overcome one tribulation after another.
She believed in Shen Du and Zhu Xuanzhi, so she chose them.Now let's not say such a small favor, Ji's only needs to do it, no matter how big the favor is, the Fan family will not hesitate to agree.

Branches and vines, lips and teeth depend on each other, Ji Shi understands this truth too well.
Mrs. Pei, the old lady of the Lu family, is Ji's boudoir friend, and the friendship between the two has always been very deep.When Mrs. Ji went to see Mrs. Pei, she didn't need to send a message a few days in advance, just a message.

Moreover, Mrs. Pei has been in poor health, and Mrs. Ji went back to Lu's house from time to time.This time, even though he went for Gu Yan's request, he also went to visit Mrs. Pei, and there was no conflict.
After thinking about it, Ji ordered the maid to exchange Fan Yi, intending to tell Fan Yi about Gu Yan's entrustment.Gu Yan's thought and plan to find Mrs. Lu secretly for Shen Du, Ji really wanted Fan Yi to learn a thing or two.

If you want to take it, you must first give it.Everything in the world is the same, including the love between men and women.If Fan Yi wants to ascend to the position of the mother of the world, maintain this position consistently, and gain the love and respect of the future emperor, then she has to do a lot, a lot, more than anyone else.
Just like what Gu Yan did for Shen Du... Maybe, I want Shen Du to do the same for Gu Yan...

Ji Shi's eyes that read the world, with deep connection, are looking at Fan Yi's immature face.It is too difficult for a woman, too difficult.

"Ayi, grandma is going to Lu's house, and you will hear one by one..." Ji Shi spoke slowly, telling her most important granddaughter everything she knew and thought.

……

As night fell, there were coughing sounds in the Lu Family Shouyan Courtyard, and the lights became more and more blazing.Lu Fengde stood outside the gate of Shouyan Courtyard, listening to the coughing, with a deep sadness on his face.
It took a while for his face to return to normal, and he tried to raise the corners of his lips, trying to make himself look cheerful, but soon he couldn't hold on.So he straightened his face, remained expressionless as usual, and then walked in.

Shouyan Courtyard is the courtyard where the old lady of the Lu family lives. It was originally called Chunhui Courtyard, but it was changed by Lu Fengde two years ago.Changing the name of the hospital, like the word "Shouyan", expressed Lu Fengde's most simple wish, he hoped that Pei could live longer.
Unfortunately, most things in the world go against wishes.

When Lu Fengde walked into Pei's bed, he still saw the dark red veil beside Pei's pillow at a glance, his eyes dimmed involuntarily. ——It was the blood that Pei Shi coughed up.
"Mother, are you feeling better today?" Lu Fengde asked, as concerned as ever.
"Physician Zheng's medicine is very effective, I feel much better today...cough...cough..." Mrs. Pei replied, still couldn't help coughing a few times, the originally gray and thin face turned a tinge of blood due to coughing .

Mrs. Pei and Mrs. Ji are about the same age, perhaps because of the lingering illness. She looks older than Mrs. Ji by more than ten years, not like someone of the same generation.

Mrs. Fan is the respectful name others give to the Ji family, but Mrs. Pei, just from her appearance, can really be regarded as the old lady of the Lu family.

Lu Fengde knew that Lu's current appearance was due to the root cause of the disease caused by hard work in the early years. No matter how much he took care of him later, his damaged body would not be able to recover.

Thinking of this, Lu Fengde's heart felt heavy.If Pei's family wasn't for him, how could it have become what it is now?Up to now, Lu Fengde doesn't know of any way to prolong Pei's life.

Zheng Xinglin had already clearly told him that the Pei family had been a matter of these two months, and in the end it was just to let her go away peacefully...

Lu Fengde suppressed his sadness, smiled and said: "Mother, I heard that Aunt Ji is here today. It's rare that Aunt Ji is so caring and visits mother every now and then. No wonder Mr. Fan can be the governor of Taiyuan. "

Both Lu Fengde and Fan Taiyan are in the third rank, but he is about ten years younger than Fan Taiyan, and because of the Pei family, he has always treated Fan Taiyan and Ji's family as juniors.

All the officials in the Ministry of Officials knew that Mrs. Pei was Lu Fengde's stepmother, but few officials knew that Lu Fengde's filial piety to Mrs. Pei was deeper than most people's biological mother.It's all because Pei Shi treats him as his own.

To be honest, without Mrs. Pei, there would be no Lu Fengde, Minister of Honghe Temple today.

These are all old things, what Lu Fengde thinks now is to show filial piety in front of Mrs. Pei and send Mrs. Pei one last time.

That's why he didn't want to participate in the matter of Wuling at all, not only rejected Shen Du, but also rejected Emperor Chongde.
Hearing Lu Fengde mentioning Ji, Pei remembered what Ji said, things related to Xisheng and Wuling.Ji Shi has already convinced her about this matter, but how should she speak now?

Seeing Pei's embarrassed face, Lu Fengde asked: "Mother, do you have something to say? What did Aunt Ji tell you?"

Mrs. Pei has been bedridden all the time and has little contact with the outside world. Jingzhao's young wife has almost never seen Mrs. Pei. The only person she knows how to associate with is Mrs. Ji.Ji Shi just came here today, naturally, Lu Fengde thought of Ji Shi or said something.

At this point in the topic, Pei Shi had nothing to hide, so she nodded, and was about to speak, but felt a tickle in her throat, and suddenly coughed.It took a long time to stop.

Lu Fengde didn't want Mrs. Pei to be too tired, and was about to tell the servants to put Mrs. Pei to rest when she heard Mrs. Pei say: "She told me something about Xisheng. Are you...refusing Did you follow the emperor's order?"

"Mother..." Lu Fengde choked up his words and didn't know how to answer for a moment.

The Pei family will be very concerned about matters related to Xisheng.During the Yong'an Rebellion, the Pei family brought Lu Fengde to live in Xijiang Mansion. They were displaced and miserable.And Lu Fengde's father, Lu Jian, also served in Honglu Temple back then, and died in the assassination of Xisheng Xizuo.

Lv Fengde worked in Honghe Temple, and unexpectedly managed to capture Xisheng Prince Sheng Lie, in fact adhering to his father's will and avenging his father.

The Pei family and Lu Jian had a deep affection, and were greatly harmed by Xisheng. They also saw with their own eyes the disorder and misery of the people in Dading when Xisheng invaded, and they hated Xisheng deeply.

The turmoil of that year was only in the past 30 years, how could the Pei family forget it?What's more, when he was about to die, that kind of hatred would become more obvious, and he couldn't let it go, absolutely.
"You were not young back then, so you must still remember those horrific scenes..." Mrs. Pei sat up forcefully, suppressing the itch in her throat, her pale and thin face looked terrifying because of the painful memories, and her The voice was hoarse as if it was about to shed tears.
