The Ups and Downs of Mrs. Yipin

Chapter 191 Xiuyi Was Banned
After discussing with He Huai'an, Fang Xiu called Wen Renyi and Fei Yu together the next day.

Looking at Fei Yu and Wen Renyi, although there is a huge age difference, Wen Renyi seems to be very good at taking care of themselves, and they seem to be a good match.

"Fei Yu, Mr. Wen, we left Beijing too hastily that day, and we didn't have a good conversation. In the past few years, I didn't even bother to write letters, and my communication was not very good."

"Mother, I understand your worry and embarrassment. I know it all, and Mr. Wen understands it too."

"Be good!" Fang Xiuyi straightened the broken hair next to Feiyu's ear, "Actually, I don't have anything else to do today, but after listening to Si Pu's words yesterday, I wanted to make it clear to you."

"Ma'am, don't worry, Sipu will understand your painstaking efforts. It's also my fault for pampering him too much." Wen Renyi apologized a little. He didn't want to disappoint Fang Xiuyi and He Huai'an's entrustment, but maybe it was because he poured too much into it. In terms of feelings, Sipu trusts and attaches too much to him.

"No, Mr. Wen misunderstood. My lord and I didn't mean to blame you. I discussed it with Mr. He yesterday. Since Sipu grew up beside you, he seems to be teaching very well now, so you should continue as usual. Well, don't worry too much about us."

"Mother, how can this be done? Sipu is the child of his parents. Back then, out of selfishness, Sipu was left behind. Mother has missed him so much in recent years. How can we let Sipu follow us now?"

"Fei Yu, don't worry, listen to your mother." He Huai'an was always extremely gentle towards Fei Yu.

"When you grow up with him, you will naturally understand Sipu better than us, and it will be easier for Sipu to trust him. Although it will be a long time in the future, the concepts formed when people are young are difficult to change. Your father and I don't want Si Pu to have conflicting mentality. You should make up your mind about what he wants to do and what he wants to do, and you don't have to ask us everything, and don't make things difficult for him." Fang Xiu thought for a while, He added, "However, I have one more request."

"Madam, please speak!"

"If you have your own children in the future, please don't neglect and neglect Sipu. He trusts and attaches to you so much, I hope you can keep him thinking like this forever, and don't let him down and sad. He is not by his parents' side Growing up, I already have regrets in my heart, although it doesn't seem to have much influence now, but he will know this when he grows up. He treats you as his parents, so I and adults also ask you not to change in the future."

"Mother, what are you talking about? Now that you and Daddy are back, our family will live together. Naturally, Mother will spend a lot of time with Sipu." Fei Yu was a little anxious.

"Silly boy, of course I don't mean to ignore Sipu, I will love Sipu as much as I love you, but your influence in his childhood has already lived in his heart, which is something I will never compare to. Yes. Feiyu, I'm not complaining about you and Master Wen, I just don't want to embarrass Sipu, and, I think, I may not have so much energy to start over with Sipu." When Fang Xiu thought of He Huai'an's body, she It will take a lot of time to spend the next few short years with He Huai'an. She still has Si Zhuo by her side, and Si Yuan in the distance. I can't even get it out.

"Mother..." Fei Yu didn't know Fang Xiuyi's plan, but she always felt that Fang Xiuyi's words were full of sadness.

"Thank you Mrs. He and Mrs. He for your trust, then I will not be polite. Please rest assured, Sipu is my only child, and I will do my best to take care of him for the rest of my life." Wen Renyi seemed to know about He Huai'an's condition, and was very straightforward So he took over Sipu's affairs.

Fang Xiuyi didn't pay much attention to what Wen Renyi said, she just took it as Wen Renyi's guarantee of love for Sipu.

"Then leave it to Mr. Wen!" He Huai'an said.

During the seven days after Fang Xiuyi and He Huai'an returned to Beijing, they still stayed in the mansion, and there were still people guarding outside the mansion, and no one came in from outside.Although Fang Xiuyi was anxious, she didn't ask any questions. She knew that He Huai'an also understood her thoughts. If she could tell her, she would have said it long ago.

Finally, after seven days, He Huaian was summoned by the emperor.Fang Xiuyi waited anxiously at home all morning, not knowing what arrangements the emperor would make for their family.

In the panic, He Huai'an came back.

"My lord, how is it?" Fang Xiuyi was inexplicably relieved, at least He Huai returned safely.

"Xiuyi..." He Huai'an seemed a little embarrassed.

"What's the matter? Could it be that we are going to be assigned again? That's okay, as long as we are together."

"No, Xiuyi. We don't need to go out of Beijing, and His Majesty didn't convict you, but you will be wronged again."

"Wrong me? You talk about it, but it doesn't matter what you do."

"Your Majesty ordered that you are not allowed to leave the palace."

Fang Xiuyi was a little surprised. To her, this was nothing like an atonement.

"Is it just like this? Just don't let me go out of the house? What about others? What about my lord? And Feiyu?"

"Fei Yu has been lifted, and I have been named Prince Shaobao."

"Really? That's great, Fei Yu can finally go out! No need to be confined in the mansion anymore! By the way, my lord, what is your so-called Shaobao for?"

"Prince Shaobao. There is no great power, it's just a false name."

"The prince's less protection? It has something to do with the prince? This is not very good." When the prince was mentioned, Fang Xiuyi immediately thought of the struggle for imperial power, and felt that it was not beautiful.

"Don't worry, it's just a false name. I won't get involved in those things either."

"That's good. Anyway, it's better to stay away from these things." Fang Xiuyi suddenly remembered Wen Renyi, "My lord, Mr. Wen has been the chief assistant for many years, and now he has such a relationship with us. He has No effect?"

"Although Mr. Wen and I have been in the same court for many years, I can't understand him more and more now."

"It's fine if it doesn't affect you. I always feel a little guilty and regretful towards Mr. Wen and Fei Yu. But it's really not in the slightest."

"Xiuyi, don't think about this matter anymore. To Master Wen and Fei Yu, it's all what you think about, so you don't have to feel guilty."

"Well, what do you mean? If we disagreed at the beginning, maybe the two of them would have different results. The main reason is that they don't even have a child now. Or, my lord, you can ask Wen in private Your Excellency?" Fang Xiuyi asked Fei Yu every time, Fei Yu said that the fate had not come, and she was in a hurry and had nothing to do.

"This..." He Huai'an was a little embarrassed.

"What's so embarrassing about it? You should treat Mr. Wen as a friend, and you should care about it, right?"

"Okay, I'll find a chance to talk about it."

Knowing that Fei Yu was able to leave the mansion, Fang Xiuyi felt much relieved. She would rather not stay out of the mansion for the rest of her life than being imprisoned in the mansion. It doesn't feel the same anymore.

Fang Xiuyi excitedly walked towards Feiyu's yard.The area around here has been changed by Wen Renyi. Feiyu and the yard originally prepared for Yunniang in the north are separated from the rest of the Shangshu Mansion by a low wall, but there is a door in the middle, which provides privacy and is not completely separated.

Feiyu's yard itself is also very large, and now a wing has been built on the west side, which has been used by Sipu for the past few years.

Perhaps Wen Renyi was also talking about these things with Fei Yu, and when Fang Xiu left, the two happened to be talking.

"Ma'am!" Wen Renyi stood up.

"Mom, did Daddy already tell me?"

"Yeah, that's why I came over to see. You all sit down."

"Mother, I've already heard what Master Wen said. Mother..." Fei Yu hugged Fang Xiuyi's arm.

Fang Xiu patted Fei Yu's hand, "It doesn't matter, I'm already old, it doesn't matter if I don't leave the house. But you still have a long way to go."

"Mother, I remember you once said that we will hold hands and walk from the west of the city to the east of the city, shopping and eating at the same time. Now it seems that it will be postponed again."

"Stupid boy, that's just a dream. As long as we're together, there's no difference between inside and outside the house. Don't take it to heart. You also know that mother never likes to go out."

"I know, but that's different."

"It's all the same in my opinion. Be good, don't worry, mother. It's you..." Fang Xiuyi looked at Wen Renyi, "Master Wen, I am very grateful for your care for Fei Yu, and also thank you for living in the mansion these few years Li, but now, are you considering moving back to Wenfu?"

"Ma'am, I am serious. It is my responsibility to take care of Fei Yu. However, I have no plan to move out."

"Master Wen, the decision that day was just a stopgap measure. But after all, you are the chief assistant, and it seems inappropriate to live in the mansion. What do the world think?"

"Madam, although what happened that day was hasty, what I said is for a lifetime. In the eyes of the world, I haven't taken it to heart yet."

Fang Xiuyi looked at Fei Yu again.

"Mother, we have already discussed this matter. In this lifetime, we will follow wherever our parents are!"

"It's unreasonable. You all have to have your own lives. It's really inconvenient to live here. Of course, I'm very happy to see you every day, but Mr. Wen is the chief assistant, not an ordinary person. here?"

"Mother, since Mr. Wen married me, he is the son-in-law of his parents. It's all right to live here. It's not something that violates ethics and laws. Why not?"

"Well, I can only suggest, I can't drive you away, can I? Besides, it's more lively when you live here. It's my selfishness. By the way, since we live here, we will eat together in the future , don’t separate the two places. Since everyone doesn’t care about the eyes of the world, let’s just do it to the end.

What made Fang Xiuyi even more speechless was that the emperor specially matched her with four men, four women.

"Mrs. He, my name is Qin Cao. We are palace guards. Your Majesty is worried about the lack of manpower around Mrs. He. He specially asked us to come here to help." Qin Cao looked very gentle, and his appearance was relatively correct. He was about 20 years old. , there is no aggressive temperament, and the other three are relatively cold.

Fang Xiuyi looked at the four handsome girls and cursed countless dirty words in her heart. She is a weak woman, she is just not allowed to leave the house, and she was given four personal radars!
"Hehe, Your Majesty is really a wise gentleman, so considerate. It's just hard work for you!" Fang Xiuyi has no right to refuse, "I don't know if the girls have any requirements for accommodation and food, etc., so I can tell the maids to arrange it."

Qin Cao didn't seem to expect Fang Xiuyi to be so plain, "If it doesn't bother me, my sister and I don't want to be too far away from my wife."

"Well, then I know. How about this, the wing here is also empty, if you don't mind, you can live in the wing."

"Trouble Madam to arrange it!"

When He Huai'an saw this in the afternoon, Fang Xiuyi said: "Xiuyi, you don't know something. On that day, His Majesty did not agree to Fei Yu's leaving the mansion, but after Mr. Wen begged, he made it a condition."

"Oh, I really don't know what the man in the palace thinks. We have all become his imaginary enemies. But, whatever, it's just a few more people around, it's okay, even if there is an extra army, I can accept it. "

"Xiuyi, don't worry, I estimate that there will be a conclusion in a year or two."

"Conclusion? What conclusion? Does your lord mean that Siyuan is coming back?"

"It should be so."

"Well, speaking of Siyuan, I haven't received a letter for a long time, and I don't know if it was intercepted. However, if it is really what your lord thinks, Siyuan doesn't have to come back. It's too dangerous here. I She would rather not stay in the palace for the rest of her life." Although Fang Xiuyi didn't know what the emperor was afraid of, but if it had something to do with Siyuan, she didn't want Siyuan to return to Beijing, and she would rather never see Siyuan for the rest of her life.

"Xiuyi, our children are people with their own opinions, and their future cannot be decided by us. But, you have to believe that their first consideration is our safety and feelings. Even Sipu, he thinks the most. It's also Fei Yu and Master Wen. Siyuan's decision, to be honest, I can't keep up with Siyuan's footsteps now." He Huai'an said, but his tone clearly contained the helplessness of a hero in his twilight years and the sadness of weakening abilities.

"My lord, don't worry about me. I can think about it. In this life, nothing can be predicted. It's better to be content with the status quo. Now, with you by my side, Fei Yu, Si Zhuo and Si Pu are by my side, I will I'm very satisfied. As for Siyuan, let's think about it."

"Xiuyi, I never thought that my life would be like this."

"If you can predict, you will be very human!"

With a stable life for the time being, Fang Xiuyi also felt at ease, who knows which will come first, the accident or tomorrow, so it's better to live the present.

He Huai'an's memory is obviously not as good as before.That day, when Fang Xiuyi went to the study, He Huai'an looked at a book in his hand in confusion.

"My lord, what's the matter?" Fang Xiuyi had hardly seen such an expression on He Huai'an's face, and felt sore.

"Xiuyi, I don't remember this book anymore!"

For ordinary people, it is normal not to remember the contents of the book, but for He Huai'an, it is really a big blow.Fang Xiuyi knew that He Huai'an could recite all the books in the mansion before, and she would always remember the scene of father and son fighting over books.

"Let me see what kind of book it is." Fang Xiu took a look, and found that it was a book about the laws of the country. He Huai'an really read all kinds of books, "My lord, how about this. I haven't read this book anyway. Why don't we read it together, if we encounter something we don't understand, adults can explain it to me. You don't know, I haven't read many books in my life."

He Huai'an smiled. When he first found out that his memory began to decline, he was also panicked and a little unwilling.But when he thought about the fate of his own family and Fang Xiuyi's attitude, he felt that those were not important anymore.

"Okay, let's watch together."

Regarding the education of thinking about thinking, several people basically reached a consensus.The current situation of He Huai'an and Fang Xiuyi does not know where they will go. Whether it is the imperial examination or joining the army, it may not be a good choice. In addition, although Si Zhuo is young, he has a very clear position on himself. I like weaving, and my next plan is to march into silk weaving.

Fang Xiu did not disagree with such a decision and choice.Sizhuo's civil and military abilities are not bad, but only good, without outstanding performance, but in the field of weaving, he has complete interest and enthusiasm, and also has the ability to control it. If so, why not do it?

"Si Zhuo, what are you doing?" Now Si Zhuo lives in the yard that Fang Xiuyi cleaned up for Ping Zhen.

"Mom, I'm drawing a loom and making one myself."

Fang Xiu flipped through the blueprint, and the drawing looked decent.

"If you want to use a loom, you can just buy one, why do you have to make it yourself?" Although they are not in a good situation now, buying things should not be a problem.

"Mother, look, there are still traces of modification in the drawings I drew. When I was in Fujian, I just weaved, but I didn't look at the loom very carefully, so I want to draw it by myself and then do it myself. In this way , I will know more about the loom, and if there is a problem with the weaving in the future, I will know the reason. Moreover, if there is improvement, the loom is also very important.”

Si Zhuo said it clearly and logically, Fang Xiuyi also nodded repeatedly when he heard it, it is true.

"Well, you're absolutely right. But, can you do it yourself?"

"It should be possible. I used to do some woodwork with Uncle Four Seasons."

"Then be careful yourself. If it doesn't work, find a helper and don't be brave."

"I know, mother."

"Sizhuo, do you plan to make a living by weaving in the future? You are still so young, are you going to decide the next few decades of your life?"

"Mom, I'm young, but I know very well what I want to do in the future. You also said that there are still decades to come. Take a step back. If this road doesn't work, I still have time to correct it. Nothing to worry about."

"Then do you think it's a pity to give up the imperial examination?"

"Mom, you will have regrets in everything you do, it just depends on how much you regret. I know that my father and elder brother both took part in the imperial examination, my father is still a high-ranking official, and my elder brother is also very successful. I can’t get good grades. But, that’s not what I like. Our family is also considered rich, but my father and mother didn’t stop me from learning weaving. Why should I give up such a rare opportunity? Mom, you just put 1 Xin, I will definitely make weaving. It’s just a pity that I am in the capital and cannot raise silkworms.”

"It's fine if you like it. When it comes to raising silkworms, I don't know. What are your plans?"

"Although I can't raise silkworms, I can bring silk thread from the south. I will study it slowly. When we return to Fujian in the future, we won't panic."

"How can you expect us to return to Fujian in the future?"

"Mother, although you are now under house arrest by the emperor, you have not been exterminated. Besides, I believe in elder brother. He is so considerate of mother, of course he will let mother return to Fujian."

"I really don't know where your confidence comes from. I'm very confused. Don't say so much, let's talk about another thing. Thinking about Zhuo, my mother also said it directly. You also know that you are really engaged in Heping. If There were no accidents at the beginning, and your marriage was a matter of course. But now you can also see that our situation is very delicate, and it should be said that it is very dangerous. A few years ago, my mother also wrote to Mrs. Cheng, wanting to divorce, but she never accepted To reply."

"Mother, I know your worries. In the past few years, I have also written letters, but I have not received a reply. Although we used to communicate frequently when we were in the capital, I also like plain truth. But now the time has passed, Our future is not in the capital. I will not embark on an official career in the future. When we left the capital, Pingzhen was still young. Besides, the Cheng family and the Lian family are famous ministers for generations. Mom, I don't want to embarrass the Cheng family. "

Fang Xiu looked at Si Zhuo with a bit of heartache, at such a young age, there was an adult's deep thinking on his face.In the past few years in Fujian, she has been somewhat negligent towards Si Zhuo, far less than she has taken care of Fei Yu and Si Yuan.But Si Zhuo never complained, on the contrary, he always comforted her and understood her pain.

"Sizhuo, it's my mother's fault for making you so embarrassed. When you were young, you liked Pingzhen so much. Now, we want to..."

"Mother, there are many unsatisfactory things in the world. I am peaceful and sincere, let it be." Si Zhuo unconsciously stroked the painting under his hand.

Fang Xiuyi's heart was blocked and she couldn't speak.She doesn't want her children to be so understanding.

After looking at Si Zhuo, Fang Xiuyi slowly walked towards Fei Yu.Most of the glory and wealth in this world are illusory. She never thought about wanting these things, but she never expected that she would be beaten to the point of being beaten and bruised all over her body, and she couldn't hide even if she wanted to.

"Mother!" Seeing his mother coming, Fei Yu happily dropped the carving knife in his hand and hurried over.

"How old are you, you still look like a child!" Fang Xiuyi was actually very happy, letting Fei Yu hold her hand.

"I will always be my mother's child!"

Neither Fang Xiuyi nor He Huai'an told Fei Yu the truth, perhaps because they didn't know where to start.When Fang Xiu saw Fei Yu's cute appearance, she felt very comforted. He was still so cute in his twenties, which showed that Wen Renyi treated Fei Yu well, otherwise it would have been full of vicissitudes.

"Where's Sipu?"

"Master Wen took Sipu to practice calligraphy in the study." Fei Yu was a little cautious, "Mother, I'll ask Sipu to come over."

"No need, I'm just asking casually." Fang Xiuyi also saw Fei Yu's expression, and didn't know whether to be happy or regretful. Si Pu was destined not to be her child, "You and Mr. Wen have worked hard these few years."

"It's not hard, mother. Although Sipu is a bit stubborn, he is very obedient at home, especially to Mr. Wen."

"Seeing that you like him so much, I am now more sure that the decision at that time was correct." Fang Xiuyi hesitated again, "It's just, Fei Yu, you and Mr. Wen..."

Feiyu is over 20 years old, but has never had children, Fang Xiuyi is a little worried.

Fei Yu smiled, "Mother, you said that again!"

"Fei Yu, since you know what your mother is worried about, tell me, what's going on? Is it you, or Master Wen... have you seen it with a doctor?"

Fei Yu blushed, turned her head and glanced out the window, but still answered Fang Xiuyi's question.

"Mother, don't worry about this matter. Mr. Wen and I are free to plan."

"Plans? What are your plans?" About having a baby, what are your plans?
"mother!"

Fang Xiuyi really wanted to know what the plan of these two people was, but he couldn't ask too deeply.

"By the way, Fei Yu, I want to tell you something."

"what's up?"

"It's about the marriage between Si Zhuo and Miss Cheng's family. Although they are freely engaged, the current situation of our family is like this. So, your father and I have decided to divorce!"

"Mother!" Fei Yu was very surprised. Although she was brought up by Fang Xiuyi with half-modern society and half-ancient educational ideas, she grew up in this era after all, "This... this is probably unreasonable!"

"I know that too. But we can't embarrass the Cheng family just because of common sense. Besides, Si Zhuo doesn't plan to take an official career anymore. What's more, what will happen to our family in the future is unpredictable. I don't want to burden the Cheng family. Especially Pingzhen, she was engaged at such a young age, and she had no chance to choose, which is unfair to her."

"Mother, we are thinking not to implicate them. This is our unilateral idea, and we want to do it for the good of the Cheng family. But, mother, have you ever thought about whether this is the case for Mr. Cheng and Mrs. Cheng?" An insult to them?"

"Insult?! How come?!" Fang Xiuyi didn't think about it.

"Mother, your idea is not wrong, and you have always been considerate of others, but I don't think Mrs. Cheng and Mrs. Cheng will agree to this. Both of them are from aristocratic families, and they have always been poetry and etiquette. , but they still abide by the etiquette and regard it as a family rule. Since they were able to get engaged to us regardless of gossip and worldly vision, they will not accept any treachery under any circumstances."

Hearing Fei Yu's serious words, Fang Xiu was at a loss.

"How...how did we break our promise?"

"Of course, almost the whole country has heard about our engagement back then, and everyone in the capital has witnessed it. Even though our family is in an embarrassing situation now, we don't know what will happen in the future, but our unilateral divorce is Breaking one's word is an insult to Cheng Lian's family! We must trap them in an injustice!"

Fang Xiu was stunned, she had never thought of this before, she had never thought about it, how could Fei Yu say that she thought of being considerate and considerate of others, turned into an act of treachery?Moreover, Fei Yu's words still sound reasonable.

"Mother, I know you are used to thinking about others, but as far as this matter is concerned, you can think about it from the standpoint of the Cheng family. I can imagine that when Mrs. Lian saw Mother's letter, she would definitely It's uncomfortable."

Fang Xiuyi was silent for a long time.Fei Yu was right, she was just wishful thinking that something might happen to her family, and she didn't want to involve the Cheng family, but the Cheng family and the Lian family were noble people, and they would never do anything to break the agreement, and they definitely would. Can't tolerate other people's profanity against them.But she made an inappropriate decision unintentionally.

"Fei Yu, thank you for your reminder. I was a little rude, I really never thought about their feelings."

"Mother, I understand what you mean. Although it's not right for us to retire, I can go to Cheng's house to see Mrs. Lian and Hepingzhen."
