dream soul return

Chapter 17 Return

Tailor Li came early the next morning.Before he came, he thought he was making fashionable clothes for Wen Yu, but after he came, he realized that it was Fu Chen who had returned.

"Master Fu, are you back?" He had met Fu Chen when he was a child, and he had made some clothes for him.Later, I heard that Young Master Fu worshiped the Pingshan School, so I never saw him again.

Fu Chen smiled: "Yes."

The housekeeper told Tailor Li to change his words, and said nothing more.

Tailor Li measured Fu Chen's size, wrote it down in the notebook, and said, "Okay. What style does the young master want?"

Fu Chen said: "Just keep it simple."

They were chatting, Wen Yu came out from the side rubbing his eyes.Seeing someone coming, he asked, "Are you making clothes for brother?"

Seeing him coming out, the old housekeeper hurriedly went up to meet him: "It's making clothes for the young master. Just in time for the season to change, why don't you make some clothes for the young master?"

Wen Yu shook his head: "I already have a lot."

The housekeeper called for Tailor Li to be sent away.

"Brother." Wen Yu rubbed his eyes and walked in front of Fu Chen, looking like he hadn't slept enough yet.

"Did you sleep well?" Fu Chen asked.

Wen Yu nodded: "I lighted the incense my brother gave me last night, and I have been sleeping until now." In the past, he always woke up in the middle of the night, and he had never slept until the sun was high like today, and he still couldn't get enough of it.

Hearing this, Fu Chen smiled meaningfully: "That's good."

Wen Yu stepped forward and took his arm: "Brother, let's go eat."

They were walking all the way to the dining room when there was a sudden noise at the door.

"Wen Fu!" Someone shouted, "Wen's family has such a large property that a sick person can't support it, so you just call an outsider back?" It seems that they heard the news of Fu Chen's return.

The man shouted loudly, and the dining room was not far from the door, and the three of them could hear it clearly.

Wen Yu unconsciously let go of Fu Chen's arm: "Brother..." These people were already making trouble before Fu Chen came back.It's just that he didn't care about it in the past, but he didn't expect to be listened to by Fu Chen today.Wen Yu couldn't help feeling sad for his incompetence in front of his brother.

Fu Chen looked at the butler: "Who is calling at the door?"

The butler knew that he couldn't hide it, and he didn't want to hide it.He said: "They are all members of the Wen clan. After the master and wife passed away, they bullied the young master with no parents, and wanted to share a piece of the pie."

Fu Chen looked at Wen Yu who was bowing his head, then at the butler, and said, "Call them in. Call them into the hall."

The butler only hesitated for a moment before opening the door.

"Okay, Wen Fu. Do you still dare to see us?" A middle-aged man rushed in angrily, "You are that Cao Aman, using Wen Yu as a shield to threaten us, and occupying Changming's property by yourself. A domestic slave , what courage!"

The old butler's face remained unchanged, it seemed that he had heard such things too much and didn't take them to heart.

The middle-aged man took a few steps forward, and when he saw Fu Chen's face, he knew that he was the adopted son.Seeing that he was still wearing Taoist robes, he stepped forward and hooked his collar, and said disdainfully: "Monks still care about common affairs. Taoist priest, you are not sincere."

Everyone behind the middle-aged man laughed.

Wen Yu finally couldn't bear it any longer, and said angrily, "Second Uncle, what are you talking about?"

His voice was not loud, but it was loud enough for everyone present to hear clearly.

Second Uncle Wen looked at Wen Yu in surprise, as if he didn't expect him to refute him.When I came to find Wen Yu a few times ago, the other party turned a deaf ear to my sarcasm, and only when I mentioned the old housekeeper, he would refute.But even the rebuttal was not as sullen as it is now.

"Xiao Yu," the second uncle changed his tone, "the second uncle is just doing it for your own good. Look at the people around you, which one is good for you if they are not plotting your property? If you can't see clearly, you are mistaken." These wolves, tigers and leopards. After a hundred years, I will have no face to face your parents."

Fu Chen ignored the other party's hypocrisy, and said coldly: "Go to the hall." After speaking, he turned and walked into the hall.Seeing him leaving, Wen Yu hurriedly followed his footsteps.

In the hall, Fu Chen asked Wen Yu to sit down at the main seat, and then he found a random seat beside him.

Second Uncle Wen didn't realize until now that he had come to the hall obediently after listening to a little furry boy.He felt a little embarrassed, and preemptively said: "If you have anything to say, just say it."

"I have nothing to say, I just want to ask you a few words. Dare I ask you, how many money have my adoptive parents owed?"

Of course this is not the case.Of Wen's clan, only Wen Yu's parents were able to stand out.The rest is nothing more than gnawing on the roots of our ancestors.If they owed money, only they owed Wen Yu's parents, not Wen Yu's parents owed them.

"No...no," Second Uncle Wen poked his neck, "What's the matter?"

Fu Chen said coldly: "Since there is no one, why did you come to the Wen family? If I didn't ask today, I would have thought that my adoptive father and mother owed you one hundred and eight thousand silver."

The sarcasm in his words was too obvious, Second Uncle Wen stood up, and said angrily: "The rules in the clan, Wen Yu is under twenty, has not yet reached the crown, and the Changming couple left again, the family property should be managed by the clan If it wasn't for Wen Fu's repeated obstructions, it would be uncertain whether you would stand here today!"

"Oh?" Fu Chen still had the same cold look, "I don't know the rules of the family. Please second uncle explain a thing or two."

Seeing that he had the right to speak, Second Uncle Wen said triumphantly: "My Wen clan, in order to support the younger generation and revitalize the family, specially established rules. If a clan member dies early, and the children are all under twenty, the family property will be distributed by the clan members. acting."

"All dissatisfied?" Fu Chen grabbed these three words and asked again.

Second Uncle Wen didn't know what was wrong with these three words, so he frowned and said, "What's the problem?"

"No problem," Fu Chen smiled, "In that case, everyone can go back."

"Fu Chen!" Uncle Wen said angrily, "What do you mean?"

"It's not interesting. It's just that you said that the children are under 22 years ago, so you will be an agent of the family property. And I have been [-] for a few years, and I have already reached the crown. Doesn't it meet the requirements of agent property?"

"You have a foreign surname, how can you have the face to say that you are from the Wen family?"

"Whether I'm from the Wen family, of course it's not up to you and I. It's just that when I entered Wen's family, although I didn't change my name, I also registered with the government. Everyone in Yangcheng knows, so it's not like you said no. ?”

Uncle Wen laughed back angrily: "Government? Now that the dynasty has changed, where can I find another government for you? I think you are nothing but a mountain without sun and moon!"

Fu Chen still had a confident look: "What the government says doesn't matter, but I don't know if the clan rules mean it?"

"Forget it, why not count it?"

"Since it is counted, my name has already been written into the family tree after passing the government. The family rules cannot be broken, and I am still Wen's family."

Second Uncle Wen was about to refute, but suddenly remembered that what Fu Chen said was right, it was true back then.Although there used to be no rules for listing family trees with foreign surnames, Wen Yu's parents were rich and gave the patriarch a few gifts, and the patriarch just turned a blind eye.

In the current situation, if they say that the family rules are not counted, then the family rules that represent the family property can only be invalidated.If the family rules count, then Wen Yu's family does have a child who is over twenty—even if his surname is not Wen.

Uncle Wen was furious, took a few breaths, and said bitterly: "Let's go." Before leaving, he did not forget to give Wen Fu and Fu Chen a look.

Seeing that Uncle Wen left, Wen Yu heaved a sigh of relief, and turned to Fu Chen: "Brother, you were really good just now. They have nothing to say."

Fu Chen talked a lot just now, but now he is also a little thirsty.He took a sip of tea and said, "Nothing."

Wen Yu said again: "Brother, shall we go to eat? If Second Uncle Wen and his party hadn't suddenly appeared and interrupted them, they should have finished eating by now."

Fu Chen had no objection, straightened his clothes and left with Wen Yu.

"Has it been a long time?" Fu Chen suddenly asked halfway through the meal.

Wen Yu was taken aback for a moment before realizing what he was asking. "Not too long..."

Fu Chen lowered his head to drink the soup and didn't ask any more questions.

After eating, Wen Yu suggested: "Brother, you haven't been back for many years, shall I take you for a stroll around the city?" He didn't wait for Fu Chen's consent, so he went around and grabbed his sleeve, "We Let's go, okay?"

Fu Chen pulled back his sleeve calmly and dusted it off: "Okay."

Hearing his agreement, Wen Yu joyfully followed behind him and went out the door.

It is true that Fu Chen has not been back for many years, and he only vaguely remembers the scenery of Yangcheng.

"Brother, look, this is a newly built bridge. There was a flood last year and the old one was washed away." Fu Chen pointed out a bridge in the distance.

Fu Chen still remembered the old bridge.When his mother was still alive, she often took him to sit on the bridge and set up a stall to sell her own embroidery.Then suddenly one day Mrs. Wen called his mother to Wenfu and asked her to embroider a picture of a birthday star to celebrate her birthday.Thinking about it now, maybe Mrs. Wen had her eye on his mother at that time.

"Brother?" Wen Yu looked at Fu Chen in confusion, "What are you thinking?"

Fu Chen hid his flash of malice, and smiled again: "I didn't think about it. Let's go, go shopping elsewhere."

Wen Yu saw that Fu Chen had something to hide from him, but if Fu Chen didn't tell him, he couldn't help it. After saying "Oh", she followed him and continued to walk forward.When walking halfway, he suddenly heard crying, Fu Chen stopped, looked to the side, and found that it was a woman in sackcloth and filial piety.

The woman was crying, when she saw Fu Chen passing by wearing a Taoist robe, she quickly stepped forward, knelt in front of him, and blocked the way: "Taoist priest, please help me! Help my child!"

Fu Chen said, "Where's your child?"

Seeing that Fu Chen was willing to talk to her, the woman hurriedly said: "My child is in the back room, he is occupied by evil spirits, I dare not go in."

After Fu Chen listened, he took big strides towards the back room.Seeing Fu Chen go in, Wen Yu quickly followed him in.Seeing that both of them had gone in, the woman dared not stay alone, so she also went into the back room.

Fu Chen entered the back room, only to see a fifteen or sixteen year old child sitting on the edge of the bed in a daze.Seeing a group of three people come in, they saw the woman at the back with just one glance: "Mother!"

The woman screamed: "I'm not your mother! You monster, return my child's body to him!" Then she looked at Fu Chen and begged: "Master Dao, you are the master of my child!"

Fu Chen glanced at the young man in front of him and shook his head: "This is not evil spirit."

The woman was dumb, and after a while she said in a daze, "How could it be? He is so different from my child."

"He's not your child either." Fu Chen continued.

The young man finally changed his face, and looked at Fu Chen with interest: "If you say no, then you are not, what is the evidence?"

Fu Chen shook his head: "There is no evidence. But a fake is a fake, and it cannot be changed to the real."

Seeing that someone believed her, the woman did not regard her as a lunatic, and said excitedly, "Master Taoist, where is my child?"

Fu Chen shook his head: "Your child is gone." Otherwise, this body would not fit so well.

The woman's eyes darkened, and she swayed a few times, as if she was about to faint.Wen Yu was startled, and hurried forward to help her.It's just that he was a step too slow, the woman got the strength from nowhere, rushed up and wanted to grab the boy's face: "Give me back my child! Ah—give it back to me!"

The young man moved extremely quickly and stepped aside.Although he was exposed by Fu Chen, he didn't look angry at all.He glanced at Fu Chen, and actually smiled: "You are fine." It was not sullen, but more like admiration.

After finishing speaking, without waiting for Fu Chen to react, he jumped the window and ran away.
