Good morning Mr. Zhongtang

Chapter 17

Back in the room, Fu Heng took Tong Wanrou behind the screen and was forced to sit on the edge of the bed by him. Fu Heng lit the light and rubbed her face carefully, as if just looking at her would make her Reduce swelling, let the traces on her face disappear.

"It's okay, it will be fine tomorrow morning." Tong Wanrou didn't want him to worry too much, so she comforted him.

Unexpectedly, when Fu Heng heard this, he suddenly put down the lamp: "What if it doesn't get better tomorrow. I'll go get you some medicine for golden sores."

Tong Wanrou laughed when she heard this: "Sister-in-law, how exaggerated is that? It's just a slap. I made a mistake at home before, and my mother-in-law would slap me a few times. It's okay, I'm very resistant to slaps."

"..."

It was the first time that Fu Heng heard the words 'It's okay, I'm resistant to beating' from a girl, and he couldn't laugh or cry. He stroked her cheek and asked softly:

"Why did your mother beat you before?"

Tong Wanrou saw that he was successfully distracted, so she pulled him to sit on the edge of the bed, and then leaned herself softly into his arms, explaining indifferently:
"There are many reasons. Maybe it's because I didn't obey the rules and went out without authorization, maybe I didn't kneel enough in the Buddhist hall, maybe I ate an extra bite of food when I was eating, maybe my steps were not accurate , there are many reasons anyway.”

Fu Heng frowned more and more when he heard it. How could she live a life at home?

Seeing that Fu Heng was stunned, Tong Wanrou couldn't help smiling again, and said to him, "I know what you're thinking. You're thinking, why don't I resist?"

Fu Heng nodded: "Yes, under such harsh conditions, why don't you resist?"

Tong Wanrou took a deep breath and reassured him: "Because my brothers and sisters around me lived this kind of life when I was young. I thought life was like this. Later, when I grew up, I gradually realized that only my family lived like that. Yes, I want to resist, but what awaits me will only be more severe admonitions. I remember when I was eight or nine years old, I was punished to kneel in a Buddhist hall for three days and two nights. It was terrible. "

"...It's really scary." Just listening to Fu Heng, he found it incredible. When he thought that his wife had come out of such an incredible dogma, he couldn't help but have a deep understanding of why she was so cautious.

"If I hadn't met you and this marriage that saved me, I don't think I would have lived for too long, it was too depressing."

Tong Wanrou leaned on Fu Heng's shoulder, stared at a pony running on the prairie on the screen in front of her, and said in a quiet tone.

Fu Heng hugged her even tighter, and whispered softly in her ear:
"With me, you will never have to abide by the rules that kill people. With me, you can always live freely. This is my promise to you, which is valid for life."

"..."

Tong Wanrou broke away from his embrace. She didn't expect Fu Heng to say these words suddenly. Seeing his serious expression, Tong Wanrou smiled very sweetly.

Under the candlelight, the two sat snuggled up, looked at each other affectionately, and a love affair secretly arose.

Early the next morning, before Li Rongbao went to court, he called Fu Heng to his study. After talking for a while, Li Rongbao hurried out of Li's courtyard and went to court.

Mrs. Li made breakfast, and the three of them sat together to eat.

At the same time, Fu Heng and Li Shi picked up some side dishes for Tong Wanrou and put them on the plate in front of her. Tong Wanrou smiled shyly and beautifully, and smiled at her mother-in-law and husband-in-law before eating.

Mrs. Li said to Fu Heng: "Your ama called you to the study this morning, what did you say?"

Fu Heng took a sip of soybean juice, looked up at Mrs. Li, and then replied, "I didn't say anything."

But Mrs. Li seemed to know something, so she couldn't help approaching Fu Heng and asked again: "Are you going to find a new way for you? The city gate official is too small, Wanrou, don't you think so?"

Tong Wanrou was eating flower rolls, and when her mother-in-law asked her, she looked at her father-in-law's face, and realized that her father-in-law might not have said anything nice to him, but when she saw Li Shi staring at her with burning eyes, she also smiled gently and nodded to her. nodded.

"Ah."

After getting the answer from her daughter-in-law, Li finally turned her attention to her own son and urged:
"Tell me quickly, what did you, Ama, promise you?"

Fu Heng took a deep breath, looked at his mother's expectant eyes and his wife's clear eyes, shrugged helplessly and said:

"Ama didn't promise me anything, but told me the reality, and told me that no matter how small an official is, don't be dismissive."

Li's face changed immediately, he slapped the chopsticks in his hand on the table, looked at the old locust tree outside the house, gritted his teeth and said:
"Lied to me again!"

Fu Heng was not as angry as Li Shi, and his attitude was calm and calm. Instead, he comforted Li Shi and said:
"Oh, mother, what Ama said is right. I have neither fame nor achievements. I started off at the seventh rank, which is already several steps higher than many students in the world. Take your time. As long as the lady doesn't dislike me Useless."

Tong Wanrou was drinking porridge, and when Fu Heng brought the topic to her, she stared at her with scorching eyes, which made people feel embarrassed, so she couldn't help meeting his gaze and said:
"Marry a chicken as a chicken, marry a dog as a dog, no matter what my husband does in the future, I will never dislike you."

After Fu Heng listened to Tong Wanrou's words, the two of them looked at each other sweetly and laughed, you pick me a chopstick dish, and I'll serve you a spoonful of porridge, with such an intimate gesture that even Li Shi feels nauseous looking at it Xixi.

Sighing, she picked up the chopsticks again, and said in a slightly sad tone:
"Hey, he still doesn't like our concubine anyway..."

After Fu Heng and Tong Wanrou looked at her, they looked at each other again. They didn't know what to say to comfort her, so they lowered their heads to eat.

Fu Heng finally went to the city defense battalion to report.Became a city gate official of the seventh rank, going out on time every day, returning home on time, living a casual life, but Mrs. Li suffered a lot, and when he met the person on the other side of the main house in the mansion, he would always be ridiculed for a while, saying Some other words from the concubine to stimulate her.

Although Mrs. Li is angry, she is helpless. She knows the master's temper. Although he has been good to her for so many years, although it is a side room, the food and clothing costs are not much less than that of the main room. In these matters, the master's heart is as hard as iron. For the things he has determined, let alone her, even nine cows can't be pulled back.

After Li Shi and Li Rongbao interceded that day, Li Rongbao still let Fu Heng go to the city defense camp. Li Shi knew that it would be useless for her to make trouble again, so he could only accept his fate and secretly gritted his teeth and endured it.

It's not that Tong Wanrou can't see her mother-in-law's thoughts, but she can't help the current situation. No matter how much she says, it will only increase Li's burden. When ridiculed, bear it with her.

After all, with her present, the other side of the main room would disperse some attention on her, nothing more than to say something to her, blind, wrong-headed nonsense, saying that her life is poor, and she is born to suffer.

After hearing these words, Mrs. Li was very angry, but Tong Wanrou herself didn't seem to hear it. Every time she listened to it silently, she smiled faintly, and then...it was gone.

Li Shi sometimes wonders if there is something wrong with her daughter-in-law, why those ugly words can't make any waves in her ears, and she can't even find a trace of anger, so she couldn't help asking her later, Just heard Tong Wanrou say:
"They say theirs, we live ours, what's the matter?"

"..."

Well, since she thinks so, Mrs. Li won't ask any more.

But I still admire this daughter-in-law in my heart, because although she can think of these reasons, she just can't do it like her daughter-in-law. Most people in the world can't ignore swear words, maybe her daughter-in-law Really very human.

On the first day of the sixth day, the whole capital was shaken.

Because the two major families were married together, Tong Jia's family and Fucha's family were both inlaid with yellow flags in Manchuria, and the power of the two families was evenly matched, so the marriage of the two families would naturally attract the attention of the world.

The third young lady of the Tong Jia family, Tong Xianrou, was born the most beautiful. Although it has been twenty-eight years, she is more beautiful than Huajiao. Recorded under the name of the aunt Wu's family, she became the third aunt in Tong Jia's clan.

The splendor of Tong Jia's family's first daughter getting married, and the Fucha family's style of marrying their first wife were almost completely taken over by Tong Xianrou.It was even rumored that she was the reincarnation of a lucky star, a typical example of a lucky woman.

On the wedding day, Tong Wanrou also attended with Mrs. Li.

During the banquet, of course, there was a lot of cynicism, and most of the discussions revolved around the wedding ceremony, because everyone knew that when Tong Wanrou married into the Fucha family, apart from the imperial gifts from the palace, Tong Jia's family did not give Tong Wanrou any gifts. The amount of dowry paid is completely incomparable with Tong Xianrou's ten miles of red makeup this time.

After Tong Wanrou heard this in person, she just smiled indifferently, but Li Shi couldn't hold back, and said to others:
"No matter how much dowry there is, my Wanrou's character is always priceless."

The one who spoke earlier was Aunt Liu, she was dressed in a fancy dress, showing the gorgeous youth that she should have at this age, she glanced at Tong Wanrou who was silent, she couldn't help snorting at Li Shi:

"Ha, I don't see any character. I only see her cowardly and obedient. Except for her face, how can she compare with Mrs. Liu Shao? Not to mention anything else, she can do it if she takes a shot at Mrs. Liu Shao." Dumped her for several blocks."

Before Mrs. Li opened her mouth to refute, she heard Mrs. Guo who was sitting on the left side of Aunt Liu say, "Yes, Mrs. Six is ​​very generous. The gifts you gave us before we got married are all very good and precious. of."

With the assistance of Mrs. Guo, Auntie Liu glanced triumphantly at Mrs. Li. She dislikes anyone who competes with her for the master's favor, and everyone else is fine. This Mrs. Li can be seen by anyone with a discerning eye , Master stays in her room 30 days a month, 20 days, if she doesn't seize this opportunity to ridicule Mrs. Li, she really won't have this chance at other times, so she can't help but intensify and say:
"But it's no wonder that Mrs. Six is ​​going to marry a legitimate son after all. If you don't act generously, if you are despised by others when you come to your in-law's house, then what should you do?"

Mrs. Li couldn't bear it any longer and stood up, and wanted to leave angrily, but she heard a burst of wedding gowns outside, and the groom's officer had already led the bride into the hall surrounded by many bridesmaids.

After the bride and groom entered the hall, they successfully attracted people's attention. Tong Wanrou pulled Mrs. Li to sit down without any trace, waiting for the newcomer in a gorgeous wedding gown to salute.
