Rebirth of a famous family: Mala's first wife

Chapter 9 Brother ([-])

Fu Junya woke up her mother, and she let go of her worries, so she slept soundly in the second half of the night.However, Yin's mind was disturbed by her daughter's dream. She once hated those people with sinister intentions, liked her daughter's sweetness once, and lamented her own fate. Listening to the sound of rain outside the window, After tossing and turning for a long time, I fell asleep.

The next day the rain stopped.The stone slabs in the atrium were covered with yellow leaves knocked down by the rain, and several sweeping women swept the ground with brooms.It was still early in the morning, and Qiu Shi and the others had already arrived at Yangzhengju, bringing clothes and jewelry to wait for Fu Junya to get up.

Fu Junya fell asleep refreshed. After waking up, she first praised a few girls, and then happily picked out a light red skirt, paired with a pair of silver-red embroidered begonias. , After brushing my hair and dressing up, my complexion looks a lot more rosy.When greeting Yin Shi, Yin Shi nodded in satisfaction.

In fact, in her previous life, Fu Junya's makeup was always plain and she seldom wore bright colors. When she just woke up yesterday, she also casually picked out a moon-white shirt.But today, she plans to do the opposite.To change yourself, start by accepting what you resist!

The mother and daughter were having breakfast when the old woman outside came in with a smile on her face to spread the word that the eldest brother greeted the eldest wife!
It turned out that my brother was here!Fu Junya stood up happily.Yin Shi was also very happy. Her son went to look for the Xiao family brothers. He went there for two days and didn't know what was going on. She was planning to send someone to ask for news, but it happened that he had already returned.

Fu Junfeng is still only a 13-year-old boy, tall and tall, with the same handsome features as his father.He was wearing a royal blue dress today, and he came in from the outside with a happy face. He winked at his sister as soon as he entered the room, and greeted his mother politely. He held his sister's hand as soon as he got up. , repeatedly asked: "Good sister, when did you wake up? Are you feeling better? Why don't you sleep a little longer and wake up so early?"

Fu Junya smiled sweetly, with sincere joy in her eyes, "Greetings to my brother! I woke up yesterday and slept with my mother at night, and I feel much better after I wake up!"

"Hehe, are you ashamed, I still have to sleep with my mother at such an age." Seeing that his sister looked good, Junfeng teased deliberately.He threw aside his usual calm appearance outside.

The siblings haven't seen each other for a while, and they have a lot to talk about.Especially Fu Junya, after so many years, seeing her brother in her teenage years again, she just felt that childhood memories came flooding back, and it was easy to find the feeling of being a younger sister.In the previous life, they only had two siblings, so their relationship was naturally close.Now, Fu Junya looked at her brother who was nearly a head taller than her, with his youthful expression, and the inadvertent pampering for her revealed in his speech and behavior, and felt saddened by familiarity and saddened by happiness.Being human for two lives, blood is thicker than water, elder brother will always be elder brother, always the good brother who spoils her and protects her!
"Okay, okay, I haven't seen you talking so much on weekdays, but today we're talking. Junfeng, your sister is just right, let her have a rest. Mother has something to ask you." Yin called with a smile Cut them off, "Over there at Chongsheng Academy..."

"I was going to tell my mother about this." Fu Junfeng put away his smile, and there was a touch of melancholy between his brows.

"Oh? Could it be that the master of the academy..." Not satisfied with your knowledge?Yin Shi looked anxious.

Fu Junya was also surprised.Hearing her mother mention Chongsheng Academy, she just remembered that at this time in her previous life, her elder brother went out to study.And she also knew the result of this matter, her brother Shun Shun Dang was admitted to the academy, as for the two brothers of the Xiao family... After a lifetime, thinking of these two people, she still felt a little uncomfortable.

Sure enough, Fu Junfeng frowned deeply, "No, mother. The master praised me a lot, and he was also very satisfied with the second brother Xiao. Only brother Xiao, he didn't even go to see the master, and he voluntarily gave up the opportunity to study!"

"Oh? Why?" Yin Shi was taken aback.Everyone in the Dasheng Dynasty knew that entering Chongsheng Academy to study was equivalent to stepping into the officialdom with half a foot.What is the reason why this eldest son of the Xiao family is willing to give up such a bright future!
Fu Junya's heart trembled when she heard the news.The second elder brother Xiao mentioned by the elder brother was her husband Xiao Jincheng in her previous life, and the elder brother Xiao was Jincheng's elder brother Xiao Juncheng.She really didn't want to think about it. In his previous life, it was because Xiao Juncheng gave up the opportunity to study and took a different path unexpectedly, that he encountered the disaster that happened later, which eventually brought down the entire Xiao family.

"Mother, you know that since the death of Uncle Xiao, the Xiao family has become a mess. Brother Xiao and Brother Xiao's family does not have a lot of land. They have only lived on meager savings for the past few years. The entire Xiao family can only come up with one person's Shuxiu now, Brother Xiao is doing this to give his younger brother the opportunity to study!" This move made Fu Junfeng deeply admired, and it was natural to say that Excited.

"Oh? There is such a thing? Then this Mr. Xiao is really a person of noble character!" Yin Shi also praised sincerely.Sighed again, "Unexpectedly, in just a few years, the Xiao family has come down to this point!"

Fu Junya was also worried.The mother and brother were talking about outsiders, and she was not easy to talk to as a girl.But the Uncle Xiao they talked about was not only her father's friend, but also her father-in-law in her previous life. She had met him several times in her previous life when she was young, and she still had some impressions.Uncle Xiao has beards, tall and strong, bold and chivalrous, perhaps because he has practiced martial arts since he was a child, his voice is particularly loud, and his "hahaha" laugh is still ringing in the audience after many years. her ears.

The Xiao family is also a powerful family. Uncle Xiao's name is Deshen, and he ranks second in their branch. There is an older brother Dehong at the top, and a younger sister Deshu at the bottom.The three brothers and sisters lost their parents when they were young, and they were separated during the war when they were young.Xiao Deshen took his younger sister alone, once made a living by begging, fled all the way to Jincheng, and did not reunite with his brother Dehong until many years later.

That is, on the way to escape, Xiao Deshen brothers and sisters met Fu Rongfu's family who were also fleeing.At that time, the Fu family was robbed by bandits. Although Xiao Deshen was a young man, he was able to see injustice and drew his sword to help.Fortunately, he was quite good at boxing and kicking, he was a bit more brave than the four or five family members of the Fu family, he actually repelled many thieves, and preserved the members and resources of the Fu family.Fu Heng, the eldest son of the Fu family, has formed an irreversible friendship with him after this incident...

Fu and Xiao later met and settled down in Jincheng.Mr. Fu Rong took the initiative to lend the capital to Xiao Deshen. With his bold personality and extraordinary courage, Xiao Deshen soon opened several shops and made huge profits in just ten years.And he kept sending people to various places to find his brother and his clansmen.The hard work paid off, and he really found the elder brother Xiao Dehong, and moved his family to Jincheng.Quite a few members of the Xiao clan came to join him, and they also received his help.In those few years, the wealthy merchant Xiao's family was well-known in Jincheng, and even Shili's Fu's family was also ranked behind.

It's a pity that such a loyal, brave and benevolent hero died young and died of a sudden illness.I also blame him for being too generous and generous. Although he has a large fortune, he doesn't do much for his family.Only his wife and two underage sons were left behind, and they were entangled with those clansmen in matters such as the property in the public house. After four or five years, they would eventually fall into the bottom line.

After Fu Junya married into Xiao's family in her last life, she naturally understood these things clearly, but it is inconvenient to mention them with her mother and elder brother at this time, which is really depressing.She was anxious and didn't know how to tell them that Xiao Deshen's wife, Lu Shi, who is now the head of the house, had an inescapable responsibility for the defeat of the Xiao family.And the current Xiao family is far from the Xiao family when Xiao Deshen was alive, so it might not be a good thing to continue to associate with it...

He only heard Mrs. Lu sigh a few times, and said again: "It is said that when your Uncle Xiao was alive, our two families still had a lot of contact. It's just that in the past few years, the sister-in-law Lu who is in charge of the family seems to have deliberately alienated us. Yes, so we don't want to meddle in other people's housework. Otherwise, if someone from the Xiao clan really bullies their orphans and widows, just tell your father, and your father will come forward and say a few words for them." Speech I was quite puzzled and somewhat displeased with Lu's actions.

Fu Junya used a doubtful tone at this time, "Mother, please forgive my daughter for talking too much. People say that it is difficult for an upright official to break up housework. I am afraid that my father will not be able to come forward in such a matter. What's more, it is hard and difficult. Yuru Yucheng, the family It's not necessarily a bad thing to fall in the middle of the road, or that Aunt Lu deliberately let her two sons experience the harshness of the world, so that she can teach them and train them in this way?"

Her words seemed to be spoken casually, but unexpectedly, her mother and brother really frowned and thought about it, and the more they thought about it, the more they felt that it was the case.Yin Shi nodded secretly, "Well, that's the same reason."

Fu Junfeng also said: "Well, I have persuaded Brother Xiao several times, but he insisted on it. To be honest, the two brothers are extremely self-respecting people, and they would not ask for help no matter what."

Fu Junya quickly spread her hands, "That's the only way to go. Mother, brother, since they didn't ask for you, let's stop thinking about it. It won't be beautiful if we think about it." She looked like a big kid It made both Yin Shi and Fu Junfeng laugh.

Yin nodded her daughter's forehead, "I just said that this little girl will grow up as soon as she comes back!" She laughed at Junfeng again, "My good boy, you are a little man if you can worry about people's troubles!"

"Haha, that's not true, mother!" Both siblings smiled shyly.Fu Junfeng suddenly sighed again, "Mom, if you say that Brother Xiao is a real man! And Brother Xiao, he is even more outstanding!"
