On the way to the Huguo Temple, Fu Beishi took advantage of his mother's gossiping with the other imperial wives, walked to Nian Zhixia's side, and lowered his voice: "Zhixia, you have been watching me for a long time just now, but do you have anything to say to me?" listen?"
However, Nian Zhixia ignored him at all and walked up the stone steps.
The stone steps were too long, as if they were endless. Fortunately, Nian Zhixia is in good health today, and he has not vomited since he went out. Even so, he can already feel his disordered heartbeat and disordered breathing.
It's not that he doesn't want to pay attention to Fu Beishi, after all, there is not much time left for him to get along with Fu Beishi, and he should cherish it, but he can't spare any energy to pay attention to Fu Beishi.
Fu Beishi knew it well and said, "Do you hate me?"
Nian Zhixia shook his head vigorously. When he didn't hate Fu Bei, how could he be willing to hate Fu Bei?
Fu Beishi is not only his savior, but also the person he likes, and even the father of his flesh and blood.
Fu Beishi knew that he made mistakes again and again, and owed Nian Zhixia, so he said in disbelief, "You really don't hate me?"
He observed Nian Zhixia carefully, it seemed that Nian Zhixia couldn't walk anymore and was trying to be brave.
However, in the public, he can't help Nian Zhixia, he can only persuade: "Let's take a rest."
Nian Zhixia walked more than a hundred stone steps, unable to support her strength, and occasionally saw a pavilion, so she walked towards the pavilion with difficulty.
Fu Bei followed Nian Zhixia last year, and seeing Nian Zhixia panting violently, he asked worriedly, "Zhixia, are you alright?"
"Call me..." Nian Zhixia intermittently said, "Call me...I'm 'sister-in-law...sister-in-law', son...be careful to be heard..."
He has decided to leave today, and his affair with Fu Beishi must not be revealed to the world today.
Fu Bei said kindly and authentically: "Sister-in-law, are you all right?"
"I..." After breathing calmly, Nian Zhixia rubbed his belly and said softly, "I'm fine, thank you uncle for your concern."
Fu Bei always felt that something was wrong with Nian Zhixia in front of him: "Do you really have nothing to say to me?"
Nianzhi Xia Xin had a thousand words to say, and Qiqi squeezed her throat, eager to tell Fu Beishi all at once.
He hastily covered his lips tightly, and clenched his teeth tightly, naturally arousing Fu Beishi's concern: "Know...sister-in-law, do you want to vomit?"
While speaking, Fu Beishi had put his hands on his chin, ready to catch his vomit at any time.
It's a pity that he doesn't own such a good Fu Beishi.
Even if there were thousands of words, he couldn't talk to Fu Bei and listen to them. After suppressing the disobedient words, he said, "I don't want to vomit."
Yuan Xiao probably knew that today was a very important day, and he was much more obedient than before, so he didn't bother him much, he slapped Fu Beishi's hand away, and urged: "Uncle, go up quickly, don't tell me to wait for a long time. "
"I..." For some reason, Fu Beishi inexplicably had a bad premonition—I am afraid that I will never see Nian Zhixia again after I leave.
He refused to leave, stared at Nian Zhixia and said: "Let's go up together."
Nian Zhixia smiled slightly: "I am physically weak, which is different from my uncle."
Hearing this, Fu Bei thought of Nian Zhixia on the bed inappropriately.
Nian Zhixia was often so tired that he lost consciousness, but he seldom begged him for mercy.
Therefore, he once thought that Nian Zhixia enjoyed the joy of fish and water as much as he did.
It wasn't until later that Nian Zhixia confessed to him that he knew that Nian Zhixia was Qu Yicheng Huan.
Nian Zhixia was very difficult when he saw Fu Bei. In order to force Fu Beishi to leave, he deliberately lied and said, "Uncle, do you know why I can endure the invasion for three full months? Uncle, just as you guessed, I, I……"
He paused every word and said: "I am happy with my husband, but I can't ask for it. My husband has become a queen. Today, I am regarded as an enemy. I can't even see my husband's face. Uncle, you were born with six or seven years with your husband." You are very similar, so I will regard you as my husband's substitute, especially in the cloud. Rain. The reason why I don't hate you is because you have at least taught me to feel that I and my husband are in the bridal chamber."
"You..." Every word Nian Zhixia said was heart-wrenching, and Fu Beishi's whole body suddenly became sluggish, "As expected."
Nian Zhixia persisted and said: "Uncle, I have already thought it over clearly, no matter how similar you are to your husband, you are not a husband, and you cannot be a substitute for your husband, but you are so greedy that you forced me to leave Zhen Guohou's residence."
The feeling of wishful thinking is of course uncomfortable, although Nian Zhixia recommended himself as the pillow first, but except for the day of the Lantern Festival, he was the one who forced Nian Zhixia.
Fu Beishi knew that he had already taken advantage of it, even if Nian Zhixia wanted to take his life, it was his own fault, not to mention that Nian Zhixia only used him as a substitute for his elder brother.
He is happy with Nian Zhixia, but Nian Zhixia has no interest in him.
He has no right to blame Nian Zhixia, but he can't control his anger——Nian Zhixia...Nian Zhixia dared to use him as a substitute for his elder brother!
Driven by anger, his right hand clenched into a fist and raised.
Nian Zhixia didn't dodge or evade, because he expected that Fu Bei would not hurt him.
Fu Beishi's fist brushed against his cheek, and Fang was about to hit the pillar of the gazebo, but he turned sharply and hit the ground.
A crack four to five inches deep and seven to eight feet long was punched on the ground, and the green bamboos planted around were all trembling, so that the bamboo leaves fell one after another.
Fu Beishi was afraid that Nian Zhixia would be hurt if he collapsed the pavilion, so he hit the ground hard.
In the early years, he used to be like a chivalrous man in a storybook, galloping across the rivers and lakes, seeing injustices on the road, he drew his sword to help.
After Sanyuan and the second, his temper became a lot more restrained.
This was the first time he was so angry.
Even though he had already guessed that Nian Zhixia used him as a substitute for his elder brother, it was completely different from Nian Zhixia's admission.
Previously, Nian Zhixia always denied it, but now, why does Nian Zhixia take the initiative to admit it?
He hated Nianzhi Xia Dun, and the hatred quickly turned into regret, which made him timidly say: "Did I scare you? I'm sorry."
Nian Zhixia was indeed frightened, but by Fu Beishi's bloody right hand.
After Fu Beishi finished speaking, he turned around and left.
When Nian Zhixia was about to call Fu Bei, so that he could have a look at Fu Bei's right hand, and in order not to fail, he held back.
Fu Beishi carelessly tore off a piece of sleeve from his jacket, bound his right hand, and went straight up the mountain.
Nian Zhixia watched Fu Bei leave when he saw Fu Bei leave, and a vomit suddenly rushed into his throat. He managed to suppress the vomit, and suddenly saw Mrs. Zhen Guohou looking for him.
Mrs. Zhen Guohou saw "Nian Zhiqiu", and said worriedly: "'Zhiqiu', why are you sitting here? What is wrong with you?"
"I'm fine." Nian Zhixia said hesitantly, "The last time I greeted General Wei's triumphant return, I sent a father-in-law here today and ordered me not to appear within his sight. I'm not going up the mountain."
Mrs. Zhen Guohou sighed and said: "Okay 'Zhiqiu', I have wronged you, don't you want to see Nan Xi? It should be okay to take a look at it from a distance. If you blame me today, my mother will take care of it for you. .”
"Thank you, mother." Mrs. Zhen Guohou actually treated her well, but she...
Nian Zhixia was ashamed.
The Huguo Temple is located on the top of the mountain, and everyone present is arranged according to rank.
Nian Zhixia has no rank, so he stays with other female relatives who have no rank like him.
Today is cloudy and cloudy, and if it happens, it may destroy his plan. Therefore, he almost keeps his head down to reduce the possibility of being noticed by today, and only occasionally glances at Fu Beishi.
The blessing ceremony was carried out under the leadership of the abbot, the scriptures echoed in his ears, the smell of incense candles lingered in his nose, and he couldn't hold anything else in his mind except Fu Beishi.
The blessing ceremony lasts for three full days.
After the end of the first day, everyone had to stay at the Temple of the God of Protection.
The moon was in the middle of the sky, everything was silent, and Nian Zhixia slipped out of the hut quietly.
The intersection down the mountain was guarded by guards, which he expected.
Therefore, he went to the back mountain as planned.
There was a cliff in the back mountain. The night wind in early May made his clothes flutter, and the moon was bright and dark. Standing on the top of the cliff, he opened his lips and said, "Fu Beishi, show yourself."
Fu Beishi came out from the dark, and said cautiously, "Zhixia, are you angry with me?"
Nian Zhixia didn't answer, but said: "Let me see your right hand."
Fu Beishi obediently stretched out his right hand.
Nian Zhixia unwrapped the bandage and took a look. She was startled, held back tears and said, "Does it hurt?"
Fu Beishi was overwhelmed by flattery: "It doesn't hurt, I really did it on my own, did you scare Zhixia? I'm sorry."
"Treasure yourself more." Nian Zhixia bandaged Fu Beishi again, took a few steps back, and asked, "Did anyone else ask you how you got this injury?"
Fu Beishi nodded: "I asked, but I didn't answer them."
Nian Zhixia followed Fu Beishi's eyebrows with his eyes and said, "Fu Beishi, why did you follow me?"
"I..." Fu Beishi hastily clarified, "I have absolutely no intention to rape you."
Nian Zhixia sneered, "Then what is your intention?"
Fu Beishi said from the bottom of his heart: "I just want to see you."
Nian Zhixia put away her sneer, and said seriously: "When Fu Bei was here, you will always remember me, right?"
Fu Beishi wondered: "Zhixia, why are you asking that suddenly?" Could it be that my premonition is about to come true?
Nian Zhixia said forcefully, "Fu Beishi, answer me."
Fu Beishi said obediently, "Well, I will always remember Zhixia."
"Fu Beishi, you took away my childish body, you invaded me again and again, you must always remember the sins you committed against me, even if you have many wives and concubines, even if your children are around your knees, even if your teeth Shake your teeth, even if you are old and feeble." Nian Zhixia looked directly at Fu Beishi and said, "Fu Beishi, you must remember me."
"Zhixia, why are you..." Fu Bei was in a bad mood, and then he witnessed Nian Zhixia running towards the cliff and jumping off.
He tapped his toes and used his body skills to grab Nian Zhixia's hand with the flick of his fingers.
He was about to pull Nian Zhixia up, but Nian Zhixia resisted and said, "Fu Beishi, let go!"
"Don't let go." His right hand was immediately scratched by Nian Zhixia with five bloodstains.
Xia Mingming, who knew him just now, asked him if it hurts.
He is not afraid of pain, he is only afraid of losing Nian Zhixia.
He spent a lot of effort, and finally successfully pulled Nian Zhixia up.
He held the lost and recovered Nian Zhixia with lingering fears in his heart.
Nian Zhixia bit Fu Beishi's left shoulder hard, and then went to push Fu Beishi.
Fu Beishi was afraid that Nian Zhixia would commit suicide again, even if the blood flowed profusely, he refused to let Nian Zhixia go.
"Release." Nian Zhixia's lips were stained with blood. At this moment, half of her face was fully illuminated, while the other half of her face was indistinct, like a man-eating ghost.
He threatened with blood in his eyes, "Fu Beishi, if you don't let go, I will call someone. Everyone will know about your Fu Beishi's involvement with your sister-in-law."
Fu Beishi didn't let go, but asked, "Zhixia, why can't you think about it?"
Nian Zhixia said with certainty: "I'm not too hard on my mind, I just want to torment you, I expect you will save me."
Fu Beishi looked into Nian Zhixia's eyes: "Really?"
Nian Zhixia said with a smile: "Really."
Fu Beishi hesitated: "Zhixia, you will never..."
Nian Zhixia interrupted: "Come here..."
Fu Beishi covered Nian Zhixia's lips. He was actually not afraid of his evil deeds being exposed, but he didn't want his brother and mother to be judged.
So, he immediately let go of Nian Zhixia.
Unexpectedly, Nian Zhixia fell into the cliff again when he was caught off guard.
This time, he only had time to grab a piece of sleeve.
Nian Zhixia smiled brightly at Fu Beishi, with affection in his eyes: "Fu Beishi, how great would it be if you were my husband?"
But when he was Fu Bei, he couldn't become Fu Nanxi.
In the blink of an eye, the sound of silk tearing pierced Fu Beishi's eardrums, and Nian Zhixia kept falling down, and was no longer visible, only a piece of fragile clothes was held in Fu Beishi's hands.
Lost and regained, gained and lost again.
Fu Beishi's eyes were tearing, why was he deceived by Nian Zhixia just now, why did he let go of Nian Zhixia just now?
He was happy with Nian Zhixia, he broke his sleeve for Nian Zhixia, and he should treat Nian Zhixia better.
But he forced Nian Zhixia time and time again.
He is lustful and lustful, shameless, he is the one who killed Nian Zhixia.
Did Nian Zhixia deliberately jump off the cliff in front of him to get revenge on him?
Because Nian Zhixia knew that he eats marrow and tastes, he destroyed his body so that he could never invade again.
If he can start with love and end with courtesy, if he can persuade his mother earlier to let Nian Zhixia out of the town's Marquis's mansion, Nian Zhixia will definitely not commit suicide.
He couldn't feel sorry for Nian Zhixia, his family, his mother, his elder brother, his official uniform, and the people who loved him.
He is really a beast in clothes and clothes, and it is not a pity to die.
The desire to die is sudden, no matter whether Nian Zhixia wants to see him in the underworld, he wants to see Nian Zhixia.
It's not once or twice that he made Nian Zhixia angry, so why not do it one more time?
With this thought in mind, he jumped down neatly, just like a young man knows Xia.
The gust of wind was howling, intending to cut his body into countless pieces, he closed his eyes peacefully, waiting for his head to bleed.
After an unknown amount of time, accompanied by a loud bang, unspeakable pain rushed from all directions of his body, and all his bones seemed to be shattered.
He didn't struggle, and let his mind gradually slacken.
After a while, his three souls and seven souls will leave this dilapidated body, right?
After a while, he will be able to see Nian Zhixia, right?
Mother, father, I'm sorry, the son is not filial, the son can't carry on the family line of the Fu family, and can't take care of you to the end of the pension, and make you white-haired send black-haired people, I'm sorry.
Brother, I'm sorry, you are destined to live a long life, so mother will be taken care of by you. As a younger brother, I have to go first.
When he opened his eyes again, what he saw was not Nian Zhixia, nor the impermanence of black and white, but his mother.
Madam Zhen Guohou said ecstatically, "Bei Shi, are you awake?"
"I..." Fu Beishi's throat was dry and his mother gave him some tea before he could speak, "I'm still alive?"
Mrs. Zhen Guohou nodded her head again and again, tears streaming down her face: "Yes, you are still alive in Beishi."
"I'm still alive, so what about Zhixia? Is Zhixia still alive?" Fu Bei forgot for a moment that his mother didn't know Nian Zhixia's true identity.
"Zhixia? You mean the elder brother of 'Zhiqiu'? Hasn't Zhixia been traveling all the time?" Mrs. Zhen Guohou was not an idiot, and asked, "Did you know Zhixia when you were in the north? Could it be that the so-called 'Zhiqiu' is Zhixia?"
It was only then that Fu Beishi realized that he had made a slip of the tongue: "Yes, the person who married into the Marquis of Zhen Guo's Mansion was not Zhiqiu, but Zhixia. What happened to Zhixia?"
"How dare Nian Zhixia...how dare to dress up as a man and marry into the Marquis of Zhenguo's mansion for Nian Zhiqiu? I'm going to teach the Nian family to pay the price." Madam Zhenguohou stood up and eased her tone. , "Northern time, take care of yourselves and recuperate."
Fu Bei was so anxious that he grabbed his mother's hand: "Mother, is Zhixia still alive?"
"Dead, I only found some residues and broken clothes. There were wolves infested nearby, and he was probably eaten by wolves." Regarding the death of Nian Zhixia, Mrs. Zhen Guohou was very sorry. After learning about the substitute marriage, She was angry again.
"Zhixia died, and Zhixia was eaten by wolves." Fu Beishi burst into tears.
Mrs. Zhen Guohou couldn't remember how many years she had cried when she hadn't seen Fu Bei, and a flash of light flashed in her mind: "Could it be that the reason why you resisted and refused to get married is because you know Xia? Could it be that Mingshu is just a useful person?" It’s a pretense, because Ming Shu doesn’t want to return to Beijing? Could it be that you and Nian Zhixia’s falling off the cliff was not an accident, but a sacrifice of love?”
Fu Beishi didn't want to hide his mother anymore, so he said truthfully: "The reason why I refused to get married is because of Zhixia. I am very happy with Zhixia. Zhixia fell in love at first sight. I have been struggling to restrain my feelings for Zhixia. Later, on the way to Xiangzhou for disaster relief, I met Nian Zhiqiu by chance, and thus knew Zhixia's identity. I grabbed Zhixia's handle, After struggling in every possible way, I forced Zhixia;
"To me, Mingshu is just a childhood sweetheart who grew up together. I don't have any feelings for her. She is indeed just a useful cover. The fall of Zhixia and I was not an accident, nor was it a martyrdom. Zhixia didn't want to I'm alive, so I want to follow Zhixia."
The youngest son in front of her was completely unrecognizable, Mrs. Zhen Guohou raised her hand suddenly, and slapped the youngest son hard, eager to wake him up: "Mother, what kind of crime did you do, you actually gave birth to two broken children?" Sleeves? It's too good for you to wait for Nian Zhixia. In fact, my mother was suspicious, but my mother told herself that you have always been of good character and will never have any unreasonable thoughts about your sister-in-law. Never thought that you are not only concerned about yourself My sister-in-law had an unreasonable idea and put it into practice, and your sister-in-law is actually a male sister-in-law! How did your mother teach you when you were young, and why did you grow up to be a criminal?"
"I..." Fu Beishi was extremely guilty, "I am happy with Zhixia. After Zhixia recommended himself to sleep for the safety of himself and his family, I became aware of the taste. I killed Zhixia."
"You scoundrel, thanks to you being the magistrate of Kyoto! Knowing the law and breaking the law!" Mrs. Zhen Guohou was so angry that she wanted to slap Fu Beishi again. Nian Fu Beishi narrowly escaped death and was seriously injured. She stopped talking, "Back then, Zhixia really acted so well that she deceived my mother so much."
Fu Beishi reminded: "The matter of Chongxi was forcibly decided by my mother. Nian Zhiqiu ran away from marriage, and Zhixia was forced to marry instead. Mother, Zhixia did deceive you, but you were at fault first."
"You unfilial son, dare to defend Nian Zhixia." Mrs. Zhen Guohou blamed herself, "Mother should not have chosen Nian Zhixia in the first place. If you hadn't chosen Nian Zhixia, you wouldn't have become a broken sleeve."
"I've broken my sleeve, and it won't help if my mother regrets it." Fu Beishi sat up while holding his aching forehead, "Where is Zhixia's body?"
"As early as half a month ago, I was taken away by Nian's family, and Nian's family returned the dowry." Madam Zhen Guohou ordered Fu Beishi to lie down, and said, "Nianzhi Xiaye has passed away at Beishi, you should reform yourself stop."
Fu Beishi pressed his temples and said, "Half a month ago, I was in a coma for half a month?" No wonder this body is so unfamiliar that it doesn't look like my own, and it doesn't obey me everywhere.
"Yes, you have been in a coma for half a month." Mrs. Zhen Guohou looked down at Fu Beishi and said, "Northern time, the imperial edict to grant marriage has come down, and the wedding date is set on May 23."
"May 23... May 23 is the summer solstice? Zhixia's birthday is the summer solstice, and Zhixia's 17th birthday is the summer solstice." Fu Beishi suddenly raised his head, "Mother, where is Zhixia's grave?" ? I have to worship him, I have to burn paper money for him, a lot of paper money."
"You killed Nian Zhixia, what face do you have to worship him and burn paper money for him?" Mrs. Zhen Guohou said unambiguously, "You will marry Mingshu on May 23, forget about Nian Zhixia, and live a good life."
Fu Beishi categorically refused: "Mother, I will never marry Mingshu. Except for Zhixia, I'm afraid I can't be humane, and I want to keep festivals for Zhixia."
Mrs. Zhen Guohou scolded: "If Nian Zhixia knows it underground, he will definitely sneer at your hypocrisy. In the north, since you are happy with Nian Zhixia, you shouldn't force him. My mother taught you that whoever you like is right." Who is forcing it? Everyone is dead now, what nonsense are you talking about? Obedience? It's ridiculous."
"Mother, I knew I was wrong, I knew it early in the morning." Fu Beishi choked up and said, "But mother...why is there no medicine for regret in this world?"
The last time Mrs. Zhen Guohou cried like this when she saw Fu Bei, it was when Fu Bei was babbling.
"There is no medicine for regret in this world. Nian Zhixia can't come back from the dead, so you can only look forward."
"I know that Xia can't die and come back to life." Fu Beishi insisted, "I want to observe the festival for Zhixia."
Mrs. Zhen Guohou sneered: "You scoundrel, do you want my mother to build a chastity archway for you?"
Fu Beishi pretended that he couldn't hear his mother's ridicule, and accepted it happily: "If mother wants to, do it immediately."
Madam Zhen Guohou spent a lot of time talking, but when she still couldn't persuade Fu Bei, she walked away angrily.
Four days later, Fu Beishi was finally able to get up.
He was in severe pain and went to the palace to face the saint.
Wen Renzheng was embracing Fu Nanxi to review the memorial, and upon hearing the announcement, he told Fu Beishi to come in.
Fu Nanxi was completely unaware that Fu Beishi had fallen off a cliff and his life was imminent. When he first saw Fu Beishi's expressionless face and stumbling feet, he got off Wen Renzheng's body, walked up to Fu Beishi, and hugged Fu Beishi: "Beishi, why are you gone?"
Fu Beishi explained: "On the first day of praying for my brother at the Huguo Temple, Zhixia jumped off the cliff in front of me in the middle of the night, and I jumped off the cliff right after him."
"Jump off a cliff?" Fu Nanxi suddenly realized, "No wonder I didn't see Bei Shi on the second and third day of the blessing ceremony."
He turned his head and glared at Wen Renzheng: "Zheng'er, you still lied to me that there was an important case to be dealt with in Beishi, so you went down the mountain early."
Wen Renzheng said with a guilty conscience: "It's my fault. At that time, Beishi was dying. I was afraid that I would provoke Zitong."
Fu Nanxi asked: "Bei Shi, you narrowly escaped death, so is Zhixia?"
"He's dead." Fu Beishi was full of remorse, "Brother, I'm an animal. I forced Zhixia, and I learned that Xia committed suicide."
"Zhixia is dead? Did you force Zhixia?" To Fu Nanxi, Nian Zhixia was a poor child who was once his nominal wife. He didn't have any special feelings for Nian Zhixia, but he heard the news of Nian Zhixia's death. , he still feels regretful that a good-looking, living child has become a handful of bones.
He claimed to understand his younger brother's temperament, and he never expected that his younger brother would force Nian Zhixia, and said heartbrokenly: "Why did you make such a big mistake so stupidly?"
Fu Beishi said frankly: "Knowing that Xia's heart is in the elder brother's hands, I am so jealous, I... I am obsessed with sex, I am a hypocrite, and I deserve to be cut to death."
"Knowing Xia's heart is pleasing to me?" Fu Nanxi said in confusion, "I don't think knowing Xia's heart is pleasing to me."
Wen Renzheng interjected suddenly: "The person who jumped off the cliff was not Nian Zhiqiu, but Nian Zhixia? So Nian Zhixia acted as a substitute marriage?"
"I knew it was a substitute marriage." Fu Nanxi patted Fu Beishi's head again, "Since the big mistake has been made, Beishi, whether you blame yourself or regret it, there is no room for redemption. You are not allowed to die for love again." Thoughts, you have to take care of Xia Haosheng's family for him."
Fu Beishi promised: "Well, I will no longer have the idea of dying for love, and I will take care of his family for Zhixia Haosheng."
Moreover, he has to take care of his parents' retirement, so he must not settle everything selfishly.
"That's good." Maybe the blessing ceremony really worked. Fu Nanxi felt that his physical condition had improved a lot, but he was not sure that he would live long enough to take care of his parents.
Therefore, as his only sibling, Fu Beishi must live well.
Even though he knew that Nian Zhixia was dead without a whole body, Wen Renzheng was still jealous because Nian Zhixia was so happy with Fu Nanxi.
When Fu Nanxi hugged Fu Bei, he hugged Fu Nanxi from behind Fu Nanxi, and said to himself: Zi Tong belongs to me alone.
Fu Nanxi knew that Wen Renzheng was jealous, and when he let go of Fu Bei, he asked, "Bei Shi, why are you entering the palace to face the sanctuary?"
Fu Bei immediately knelt down on the ground, walked away, and said bluntly: "Today, I have to observe the festival for Zhixia, and I can't marry Mingshu. I hope I will take it back."
Wen Renzheng said in astonishment: "You want to observe the festival for Nian Zhixia? Do you keep it for a lifetime? How can Wei Aiqing not compare with Nian Zhixia?"
Fu Beishi said without hesitation: "Yes, I will keep Zhixia's chastity for the rest of my life, and I will never touch anyone again. In the eyes of Weichen, Mingshu and Zhixia cannot be compared. Mingshu is Weichen's good friend, while Zhixia is He is a person who pleases the humble minister."
"To keep a festival for a dead person for the rest of my life..." Wen Renzheng couldn't help thinking of himself when he was young. If he had had such awareness at that time, he would not have lost Fu Nanxi for a full ten years.
Fu Nanxi sighed: "Beishi, as your elder brother, I don't want you to keep Zhixia's life forever; as a fool who has been let down repeatedly, I envy Zhixia very much. Beishi, I don't know whether I should persuade you."
Wen Renzheng said tremblingly, "Zitong, I have repented."
Fu Beishi coughed a few times: "I hope it will be taken back today."
"I agree with you." Wen Renzheng said frankly, "In fact, Wei Aiqing has begged me many times to take back my life."
"Mingshu is not a woman brought up under the three obediences and four virtues, so naturally she doesn't want to be trapped in the backyard." Fu Beishi twitched the corners of his lips, "If Weichen and Mingshu are forced to marry, they will definitely be bitter couples."
"It's because I messed up the mandarin ducks." Wen Renzheng said kindly, "But your parents are happy to see it succeed. After I take it back, I'm afraid I will make trouble for you."
"Weichen has already made it clear to my mother." After Fu Beishi fulfilled his wish, he immediately resigned.
As soon as he left the palace, he went straight to Nian's house.
He is eager to know where Nian Zhixia's grave is, just as his mother said, he has no face to worship Nian Zhixia and burn paper for Nian Zhixia, but fortunately he is a brazen person.
He went to Nian's house, but the door of Nian's house was closed.
He went to Nianfu and Nianzhichunzhi's booth to write letters for them, but they didn't even go to the stall.
He asked about the pancake stall next to him, and the stall owner said uncertainly: "It is said that something happened to their house, and I haven't seen them for several days."
Then, he returned to Nian's house, knocked on the neighbor's door, and asked, "Do you know where Nian's family has gone?"
The neighbor replied: "The youngest daughter of the Nian family, the youngest daughter who was given to Chongxi, the current empress and former eldest son of the Marquis of Zhenguo, died suddenly for no apparent reason. They took the youngest daughter's body back to their hometown."
"Going back to your hometown?" Fu Bei knew that Nian's hometown was in Xiangzhou, but Xiangzhou was too big. "Do you know where exactly their hometown is in Xiangzhou?"
The neighbor shook his head and said, "I don't know about that."
"Thank you." Fu Beishi entered the palace and asked Wen Renzheng for leave, and rode his horse to Xiangzhou.
Even if Xiangzhou is turned upside down, he still wants to find Nian's family.
He traveled day and night, and arrived in Xiangzhou in just five days.
As his health was not yet fully recovered, he developed a high fever as soon as he arrived in Xiangzhou.
With a high fever, he stubbornly searched for Nian's family.
After another three days, he finally fell ill in the street.
When he woke up, his coat was stripped off, his purse was stolen, but there were a few copper coins in front of him.
Obviously, some people regarded him as a fat sheep, while others regarded him as a beggar.
He stood up disheveled and walked towards the yamen.
He had never been so embarrassed in his life, but he remained calm as usual.
He once rescued disasters with the magistrate of Xiangzhou, the guards of the yamen still remembered him, welcomed him in, and said loudly: "Master Fu is here."
The magistrate of Xiangzhou came out to greet him immediately after finishing the trial of a case.
When had he ever seen Fu Beishi like this?Surprised: "Master Fu, what happened to you?"
Fu Beishi answered the wrong question: "I came to Xiangzhou to look for my dead wife."
Zhixia, you want me to remember you because you want me to remember the evil things I did to you?Anyway, I have done so many evil things, calling you "dead wife", can you bear it?
"Dead wife?" The magistrate of Xiangzhou only knew that Fu Beishi was the famous Liu Xiahui, who had never been close to women, and had no idea that Fu Beishi was married. "My lord, my condolences."
"My wife, Nian Zhixia, is from Xiangzhou. His family has returned to Xiangzhou from the capital. I beg Mr. Xie to help me find it." Fu Beishi described to Mr. Xie the details of the four members of the Nian family. After seeing his appearance, he allowed himself to pass out.
When he opened his eyes again, his first reaction was to ask the servant guarding him: "Did Mr. Xie find my wife Zhixia's family?"
"Master Fu, wait a moment." The servant hurried out.
Fu Bei stared at the door eagerly, and not long after, the servant came back.
Before the boy could speak, he said anxiously, "I found it, right?"
The boy gave Fu Beishi a negative answer: "I haven't found it yet."
Fu Beishi got off the bed in response: "I'll find it myself."
Before he left the yamen, he was stopped by Master Xie: "Master Fu, do you want to kill yourself?"
"Yes, I don't want to die." Fu Beishi was so weak that he couldn't break free, and was carried back on the bed by the yamen servant ordered by Mr. Xie.
Mr. Xie stood in front of the bed, and advised: "Master Fu, you will take care of it for the rest of your life, and it won't be too late to find it after you recover your body."
"I can't wait." Fu Beishi muttered to himself, "I want to meet Xia, I want to meet Xia, I want to meet Xia..."
Upon seeing this, Mr. Xie couldn't help but wonder if Fu Beishi had suffered from insanity.
He ordered someone to invite the doctor, and the doctor prescribed Fu Beishi a calming decoction.
After the decoction was ready, he made people restrain Fu Beishi, and poured the decoction for Fu Beishi himself.
Last year, Fu Beishi traveled thousands of miles and came to Xiangzhou, like a god, turning the tide.
If it weren't for Fu Beishi, the chaotic Xiangzhou would have been in chaos for a long time.
Last year, he never dreamed that Fu Beishi would become neither human nor ghost.
Fu Bei's high fever came and went, retreated and flared up again, and he rested for a total of seven days before he recovered a bit.
Then, he borrowed some silver taels from Mr. Xie, bought some clothes, and went to find Nian's family.
He walked on the land of Xiangzhou, every inch he walked, he suddenly felt that Nian Zhixia might have walked by.
Zhixia, Zhixia, Zhixia, I am happy with you.
He used his own feet to cover every inch of Xiangzhou, but unfortunately he did not find any traces of Nian's family.
Either the Nian family never returned to Xiangzhou, then he and the Nian family missed it.
He went to the prefectures and counties bordering Xiangzhou to search again, but still failed.
On September 21, he received a secret letter from Wen Renzheng, on which it was written: Zitong died of illness, return soon.
Elder brother's health has clearly improved, why the sudden turn for the worse?
I don't know what happened to my mother?
In a hurry, he rushed back without stopping.
The elder brother has gone out of the funeral and was buried in the imperial mausoleum. There is a man kneeling in front of the imperial mausoleum, with all white hair and a filial piety.
The man looked back at him, and he realized that the man was actually Wen Renzheng.
Wen Renzheng is only [-] years old, far from the age when his hair is completely white.
Wen Renzheng was so desperate, he was surprisingly calm: "Bei Shi, you're back, have you found Nian's family?"
"I can't find Nian's family." Fu Beishi came to Wen Renzheng's side and knelt down with Wen Renzheng.
"Northern time, my fate is connected with you." Xiangwen Renzheng held Fu Nanxi's tablet in his hand, and kept rubbing Fu Nanxi's name on it.
"Why did my brother pass away suddenly?" In just half a year, Fu Beishi lost Nian Zhixia and Fu Nanxi one after another. If he didn't still feel the pain, he would feel that he had fallen into a nightmare. As long as he opened his eyes, Nian Zhixia and Fu Nanxi would both safe and sound.
"I don't know why Zitong passed away suddenly, Zitong, Zitong has recovered, Zitong..." Wen Renzheng burst into tears, "I thought Zitong would grow old with me, but I don't know Widower on the fourteenth of September."
My elder brother once mentioned that he and I went to the cloud for the first time. The rainy day was September [-]th, and my elder brother died on September [-]th. How ironic?
Fu Beishi said sadly: "How good it would be if you didn't betray your brother in the past?"
"I have been regretting it all the time. I thought that Zitong would tolerate me. I thought that I was going to be the emperor. The Sangong and Sixth Courtyards are justified. It is because Zitong didn't know the general idea. I thought that Zitong just left in a fit of anger. Then I will consciously return to my side. Day after day passed, I failed to see Zi Tong, but I heard the news that the Fu family intends to marry the Wang family, of course I will not sit idly by, I deliberately married After leaving the Wang family, I deliberately favored the Wang family. I deliberately stopped the court for many days for the Wang family. I was competing with Nan Xi. I wanted to force Nan Xi to come to see me, but... Nan Xi has been unmoved. So I used you, Bei
However, Nian Zhixia ignored him at all and walked up the stone steps.
The stone steps were too long, as if they were endless. Fortunately, Nian Zhixia is in good health today, and he has not vomited since he went out. Even so, he can already feel his disordered heartbeat and disordered breathing.
It's not that he doesn't want to pay attention to Fu Beishi, after all, there is not much time left for him to get along with Fu Beishi, and he should cherish it, but he can't spare any energy to pay attention to Fu Beishi.
Fu Beishi knew it well and said, "Do you hate me?"
Nian Zhixia shook his head vigorously. When he didn't hate Fu Bei, how could he be willing to hate Fu Bei?
Fu Beishi is not only his savior, but also the person he likes, and even the father of his flesh and blood.
Fu Beishi knew that he made mistakes again and again, and owed Nian Zhixia, so he said in disbelief, "You really don't hate me?"
He observed Nian Zhixia carefully, it seemed that Nian Zhixia couldn't walk anymore and was trying to be brave.
However, in the public, he can't help Nian Zhixia, he can only persuade: "Let's take a rest."
Nian Zhixia walked more than a hundred stone steps, unable to support her strength, and occasionally saw a pavilion, so she walked towards the pavilion with difficulty.
Fu Bei followed Nian Zhixia last year, and seeing Nian Zhixia panting violently, he asked worriedly, "Zhixia, are you alright?"
"Call me..." Nian Zhixia intermittently said, "Call me...I'm 'sister-in-law...sister-in-law', son...be careful to be heard..."
He has decided to leave today, and his affair with Fu Beishi must not be revealed to the world today.
Fu Bei said kindly and authentically: "Sister-in-law, are you all right?"
"I..." After breathing calmly, Nian Zhixia rubbed his belly and said softly, "I'm fine, thank you uncle for your concern."
Fu Bei always felt that something was wrong with Nian Zhixia in front of him: "Do you really have nothing to say to me?"
Nianzhi Xia Xin had a thousand words to say, and Qiqi squeezed her throat, eager to tell Fu Beishi all at once.
He hastily covered his lips tightly, and clenched his teeth tightly, naturally arousing Fu Beishi's concern: "Know...sister-in-law, do you want to vomit?"
While speaking, Fu Beishi had put his hands on his chin, ready to catch his vomit at any time.
It's a pity that he doesn't own such a good Fu Beishi.
Even if there were thousands of words, he couldn't talk to Fu Bei and listen to them. After suppressing the disobedient words, he said, "I don't want to vomit."
Yuan Xiao probably knew that today was a very important day, and he was much more obedient than before, so he didn't bother him much, he slapped Fu Beishi's hand away, and urged: "Uncle, go up quickly, don't tell me to wait for a long time. "
"I..." For some reason, Fu Beishi inexplicably had a bad premonition—I am afraid that I will never see Nian Zhixia again after I leave.
He refused to leave, stared at Nian Zhixia and said: "Let's go up together."
Nian Zhixia smiled slightly: "I am physically weak, which is different from my uncle."
Hearing this, Fu Bei thought of Nian Zhixia on the bed inappropriately.
Nian Zhixia was often so tired that he lost consciousness, but he seldom begged him for mercy.
Therefore, he once thought that Nian Zhixia enjoyed the joy of fish and water as much as he did.
It wasn't until later that Nian Zhixia confessed to him that he knew that Nian Zhixia was Qu Yicheng Huan.
Nian Zhixia was very difficult when he saw Fu Bei. In order to force Fu Beishi to leave, he deliberately lied and said, "Uncle, do you know why I can endure the invasion for three full months? Uncle, just as you guessed, I, I……"
He paused every word and said: "I am happy with my husband, but I can't ask for it. My husband has become a queen. Today, I am regarded as an enemy. I can't even see my husband's face. Uncle, you were born with six or seven years with your husband." You are very similar, so I will regard you as my husband's substitute, especially in the cloud. Rain. The reason why I don't hate you is because you have at least taught me to feel that I and my husband are in the bridal chamber."
"You..." Every word Nian Zhixia said was heart-wrenching, and Fu Beishi's whole body suddenly became sluggish, "As expected."
Nian Zhixia persisted and said: "Uncle, I have already thought it over clearly, no matter how similar you are to your husband, you are not a husband, and you cannot be a substitute for your husband, but you are so greedy that you forced me to leave Zhen Guohou's residence."
The feeling of wishful thinking is of course uncomfortable, although Nian Zhixia recommended himself as the pillow first, but except for the day of the Lantern Festival, he was the one who forced Nian Zhixia.
Fu Beishi knew that he had already taken advantage of it, even if Nian Zhixia wanted to take his life, it was his own fault, not to mention that Nian Zhixia only used him as a substitute for his elder brother.
He is happy with Nian Zhixia, but Nian Zhixia has no interest in him.
He has no right to blame Nian Zhixia, but he can't control his anger——Nian Zhixia...Nian Zhixia dared to use him as a substitute for his elder brother!
Driven by anger, his right hand clenched into a fist and raised.
Nian Zhixia didn't dodge or evade, because he expected that Fu Bei would not hurt him.
Fu Beishi's fist brushed against his cheek, and Fang was about to hit the pillar of the gazebo, but he turned sharply and hit the ground.
A crack four to five inches deep and seven to eight feet long was punched on the ground, and the green bamboos planted around were all trembling, so that the bamboo leaves fell one after another.
Fu Beishi was afraid that Nian Zhixia would be hurt if he collapsed the pavilion, so he hit the ground hard.
In the early years, he used to be like a chivalrous man in a storybook, galloping across the rivers and lakes, seeing injustices on the road, he drew his sword to help.
After Sanyuan and the second, his temper became a lot more restrained.
This was the first time he was so angry.
Even though he had already guessed that Nian Zhixia used him as a substitute for his elder brother, it was completely different from Nian Zhixia's admission.
Previously, Nian Zhixia always denied it, but now, why does Nian Zhixia take the initiative to admit it?
He hated Nianzhi Xia Dun, and the hatred quickly turned into regret, which made him timidly say: "Did I scare you? I'm sorry."
Nian Zhixia was indeed frightened, but by Fu Beishi's bloody right hand.
After Fu Beishi finished speaking, he turned around and left.
When Nian Zhixia was about to call Fu Bei, so that he could have a look at Fu Bei's right hand, and in order not to fail, he held back.
Fu Beishi carelessly tore off a piece of sleeve from his jacket, bound his right hand, and went straight up the mountain.
Nian Zhixia watched Fu Bei leave when he saw Fu Bei leave, and a vomit suddenly rushed into his throat. He managed to suppress the vomit, and suddenly saw Mrs. Zhen Guohou looking for him.
Mrs. Zhen Guohou saw "Nian Zhiqiu", and said worriedly: "'Zhiqiu', why are you sitting here? What is wrong with you?"
"I'm fine." Nian Zhixia said hesitantly, "The last time I greeted General Wei's triumphant return, I sent a father-in-law here today and ordered me not to appear within his sight. I'm not going up the mountain."
Mrs. Zhen Guohou sighed and said: "Okay 'Zhiqiu', I have wronged you, don't you want to see Nan Xi? It should be okay to take a look at it from a distance. If you blame me today, my mother will take care of it for you. .”
"Thank you, mother." Mrs. Zhen Guohou actually treated her well, but she...
Nian Zhixia was ashamed.
The Huguo Temple is located on the top of the mountain, and everyone present is arranged according to rank.
Nian Zhixia has no rank, so he stays with other female relatives who have no rank like him.
Today is cloudy and cloudy, and if it happens, it may destroy his plan. Therefore, he almost keeps his head down to reduce the possibility of being noticed by today, and only occasionally glances at Fu Beishi.
The blessing ceremony was carried out under the leadership of the abbot, the scriptures echoed in his ears, the smell of incense candles lingered in his nose, and he couldn't hold anything else in his mind except Fu Beishi.
The blessing ceremony lasts for three full days.
After the end of the first day, everyone had to stay at the Temple of the God of Protection.
The moon was in the middle of the sky, everything was silent, and Nian Zhixia slipped out of the hut quietly.
The intersection down the mountain was guarded by guards, which he expected.
Therefore, he went to the back mountain as planned.
There was a cliff in the back mountain. The night wind in early May made his clothes flutter, and the moon was bright and dark. Standing on the top of the cliff, he opened his lips and said, "Fu Beishi, show yourself."
Fu Beishi came out from the dark, and said cautiously, "Zhixia, are you angry with me?"
Nian Zhixia didn't answer, but said: "Let me see your right hand."
Fu Beishi obediently stretched out his right hand.
Nian Zhixia unwrapped the bandage and took a look. She was startled, held back tears and said, "Does it hurt?"
Fu Beishi was overwhelmed by flattery: "It doesn't hurt, I really did it on my own, did you scare Zhixia? I'm sorry."
"Treasure yourself more." Nian Zhixia bandaged Fu Beishi again, took a few steps back, and asked, "Did anyone else ask you how you got this injury?"
Fu Beishi nodded: "I asked, but I didn't answer them."
Nian Zhixia followed Fu Beishi's eyebrows with his eyes and said, "Fu Beishi, why did you follow me?"
"I..." Fu Beishi hastily clarified, "I have absolutely no intention to rape you."
Nian Zhixia sneered, "Then what is your intention?"
Fu Beishi said from the bottom of his heart: "I just want to see you."
Nian Zhixia put away her sneer, and said seriously: "When Fu Bei was here, you will always remember me, right?"
Fu Beishi wondered: "Zhixia, why are you asking that suddenly?" Could it be that my premonition is about to come true?
Nian Zhixia said forcefully, "Fu Beishi, answer me."
Fu Beishi said obediently, "Well, I will always remember Zhixia."
"Fu Beishi, you took away my childish body, you invaded me again and again, you must always remember the sins you committed against me, even if you have many wives and concubines, even if your children are around your knees, even if your teeth Shake your teeth, even if you are old and feeble." Nian Zhixia looked directly at Fu Beishi and said, "Fu Beishi, you must remember me."
"Zhixia, why are you..." Fu Bei was in a bad mood, and then he witnessed Nian Zhixia running towards the cliff and jumping off.
He tapped his toes and used his body skills to grab Nian Zhixia's hand with the flick of his fingers.
He was about to pull Nian Zhixia up, but Nian Zhixia resisted and said, "Fu Beishi, let go!"
"Don't let go." His right hand was immediately scratched by Nian Zhixia with five bloodstains.
Xia Mingming, who knew him just now, asked him if it hurts.
He is not afraid of pain, he is only afraid of losing Nian Zhixia.
He spent a lot of effort, and finally successfully pulled Nian Zhixia up.
He held the lost and recovered Nian Zhixia with lingering fears in his heart.
Nian Zhixia bit Fu Beishi's left shoulder hard, and then went to push Fu Beishi.
Fu Beishi was afraid that Nian Zhixia would commit suicide again, even if the blood flowed profusely, he refused to let Nian Zhixia go.
"Release." Nian Zhixia's lips were stained with blood. At this moment, half of her face was fully illuminated, while the other half of her face was indistinct, like a man-eating ghost.
He threatened with blood in his eyes, "Fu Beishi, if you don't let go, I will call someone. Everyone will know about your Fu Beishi's involvement with your sister-in-law."
Fu Beishi didn't let go, but asked, "Zhixia, why can't you think about it?"
Nian Zhixia said with certainty: "I'm not too hard on my mind, I just want to torment you, I expect you will save me."
Fu Beishi looked into Nian Zhixia's eyes: "Really?"
Nian Zhixia said with a smile: "Really."
Fu Beishi hesitated: "Zhixia, you will never..."
Nian Zhixia interrupted: "Come here..."
Fu Beishi covered Nian Zhixia's lips. He was actually not afraid of his evil deeds being exposed, but he didn't want his brother and mother to be judged.
So, he immediately let go of Nian Zhixia.
Unexpectedly, Nian Zhixia fell into the cliff again when he was caught off guard.
This time, he only had time to grab a piece of sleeve.
Nian Zhixia smiled brightly at Fu Beishi, with affection in his eyes: "Fu Beishi, how great would it be if you were my husband?"
But when he was Fu Bei, he couldn't become Fu Nanxi.
In the blink of an eye, the sound of silk tearing pierced Fu Beishi's eardrums, and Nian Zhixia kept falling down, and was no longer visible, only a piece of fragile clothes was held in Fu Beishi's hands.
Lost and regained, gained and lost again.
Fu Beishi's eyes were tearing, why was he deceived by Nian Zhixia just now, why did he let go of Nian Zhixia just now?
He was happy with Nian Zhixia, he broke his sleeve for Nian Zhixia, and he should treat Nian Zhixia better.
But he forced Nian Zhixia time and time again.
He is lustful and lustful, shameless, he is the one who killed Nian Zhixia.
Did Nian Zhixia deliberately jump off the cliff in front of him to get revenge on him?
Because Nian Zhixia knew that he eats marrow and tastes, he destroyed his body so that he could never invade again.
If he can start with love and end with courtesy, if he can persuade his mother earlier to let Nian Zhixia out of the town's Marquis's mansion, Nian Zhixia will definitely not commit suicide.
He couldn't feel sorry for Nian Zhixia, his family, his mother, his elder brother, his official uniform, and the people who loved him.
He is really a beast in clothes and clothes, and it is not a pity to die.
The desire to die is sudden, no matter whether Nian Zhixia wants to see him in the underworld, he wants to see Nian Zhixia.
It's not once or twice that he made Nian Zhixia angry, so why not do it one more time?
With this thought in mind, he jumped down neatly, just like a young man knows Xia.
The gust of wind was howling, intending to cut his body into countless pieces, he closed his eyes peacefully, waiting for his head to bleed.
After an unknown amount of time, accompanied by a loud bang, unspeakable pain rushed from all directions of his body, and all his bones seemed to be shattered.
He didn't struggle, and let his mind gradually slacken.
After a while, his three souls and seven souls will leave this dilapidated body, right?
After a while, he will be able to see Nian Zhixia, right?
Mother, father, I'm sorry, the son is not filial, the son can't carry on the family line of the Fu family, and can't take care of you to the end of the pension, and make you white-haired send black-haired people, I'm sorry.
Brother, I'm sorry, you are destined to live a long life, so mother will be taken care of by you. As a younger brother, I have to go first.
When he opened his eyes again, what he saw was not Nian Zhixia, nor the impermanence of black and white, but his mother.
Madam Zhen Guohou said ecstatically, "Bei Shi, are you awake?"
"I..." Fu Beishi's throat was dry and his mother gave him some tea before he could speak, "I'm still alive?"
Mrs. Zhen Guohou nodded her head again and again, tears streaming down her face: "Yes, you are still alive in Beishi."
"I'm still alive, so what about Zhixia? Is Zhixia still alive?" Fu Bei forgot for a moment that his mother didn't know Nian Zhixia's true identity.
"Zhixia? You mean the elder brother of 'Zhiqiu'? Hasn't Zhixia been traveling all the time?" Mrs. Zhen Guohou was not an idiot, and asked, "Did you know Zhixia when you were in the north? Could it be that the so-called 'Zhiqiu' is Zhixia?"
It was only then that Fu Beishi realized that he had made a slip of the tongue: "Yes, the person who married into the Marquis of Zhen Guo's Mansion was not Zhiqiu, but Zhixia. What happened to Zhixia?"
"How dare Nian Zhixia...how dare to dress up as a man and marry into the Marquis of Zhenguo's mansion for Nian Zhiqiu? I'm going to teach the Nian family to pay the price." Madam Zhenguohou stood up and eased her tone. , "Northern time, take care of yourselves and recuperate."
Fu Bei was so anxious that he grabbed his mother's hand: "Mother, is Zhixia still alive?"
"Dead, I only found some residues and broken clothes. There were wolves infested nearby, and he was probably eaten by wolves." Regarding the death of Nian Zhixia, Mrs. Zhen Guohou was very sorry. After learning about the substitute marriage, She was angry again.
"Zhixia died, and Zhixia was eaten by wolves." Fu Beishi burst into tears.
Mrs. Zhen Guohou couldn't remember how many years she had cried when she hadn't seen Fu Bei, and a flash of light flashed in her mind: "Could it be that the reason why you resisted and refused to get married is because you know Xia? Could it be that Mingshu is just a useful person?" It’s a pretense, because Ming Shu doesn’t want to return to Beijing? Could it be that you and Nian Zhixia’s falling off the cliff was not an accident, but a sacrifice of love?”
Fu Beishi didn't want to hide his mother anymore, so he said truthfully: "The reason why I refused to get married is because of Zhixia. I am very happy with Zhixia. Zhixia fell in love at first sight. I have been struggling to restrain my feelings for Zhixia. Later, on the way to Xiangzhou for disaster relief, I met Nian Zhiqiu by chance, and thus knew Zhixia's identity. I grabbed Zhixia's handle, After struggling in every possible way, I forced Zhixia;
"To me, Mingshu is just a childhood sweetheart who grew up together. I don't have any feelings for her. She is indeed just a useful cover. The fall of Zhixia and I was not an accident, nor was it a martyrdom. Zhixia didn't want to I'm alive, so I want to follow Zhixia."
The youngest son in front of her was completely unrecognizable, Mrs. Zhen Guohou raised her hand suddenly, and slapped the youngest son hard, eager to wake him up: "Mother, what kind of crime did you do, you actually gave birth to two broken children?" Sleeves? It's too good for you to wait for Nian Zhixia. In fact, my mother was suspicious, but my mother told herself that you have always been of good character and will never have any unreasonable thoughts about your sister-in-law. Never thought that you are not only concerned about yourself My sister-in-law had an unreasonable idea and put it into practice, and your sister-in-law is actually a male sister-in-law! How did your mother teach you when you were young, and why did you grow up to be a criminal?"
"I..." Fu Beishi was extremely guilty, "I am happy with Zhixia. After Zhixia recommended himself to sleep for the safety of himself and his family, I became aware of the taste. I killed Zhixia."
"You scoundrel, thanks to you being the magistrate of Kyoto! Knowing the law and breaking the law!" Mrs. Zhen Guohou was so angry that she wanted to slap Fu Beishi again. Nian Fu Beishi narrowly escaped death and was seriously injured. She stopped talking, "Back then, Zhixia really acted so well that she deceived my mother so much."
Fu Beishi reminded: "The matter of Chongxi was forcibly decided by my mother. Nian Zhiqiu ran away from marriage, and Zhixia was forced to marry instead. Mother, Zhixia did deceive you, but you were at fault first."
"You unfilial son, dare to defend Nian Zhixia." Mrs. Zhen Guohou blamed herself, "Mother should not have chosen Nian Zhixia in the first place. If you hadn't chosen Nian Zhixia, you wouldn't have become a broken sleeve."
"I've broken my sleeve, and it won't help if my mother regrets it." Fu Beishi sat up while holding his aching forehead, "Where is Zhixia's body?"
"As early as half a month ago, I was taken away by Nian's family, and Nian's family returned the dowry." Madam Zhen Guohou ordered Fu Beishi to lie down, and said, "Nianzhi Xiaye has passed away at Beishi, you should reform yourself stop."
Fu Beishi pressed his temples and said, "Half a month ago, I was in a coma for half a month?" No wonder this body is so unfamiliar that it doesn't look like my own, and it doesn't obey me everywhere.
"Yes, you have been in a coma for half a month." Mrs. Zhen Guohou looked down at Fu Beishi and said, "Northern time, the imperial edict to grant marriage has come down, and the wedding date is set on May 23."
"May 23... May 23 is the summer solstice? Zhixia's birthday is the summer solstice, and Zhixia's 17th birthday is the summer solstice." Fu Beishi suddenly raised his head, "Mother, where is Zhixia's grave?" ? I have to worship him, I have to burn paper money for him, a lot of paper money."
"You killed Nian Zhixia, what face do you have to worship him and burn paper money for him?" Mrs. Zhen Guohou said unambiguously, "You will marry Mingshu on May 23, forget about Nian Zhixia, and live a good life."
Fu Beishi categorically refused: "Mother, I will never marry Mingshu. Except for Zhixia, I'm afraid I can't be humane, and I want to keep festivals for Zhixia."
Mrs. Zhen Guohou scolded: "If Nian Zhixia knows it underground, he will definitely sneer at your hypocrisy. In the north, since you are happy with Nian Zhixia, you shouldn't force him. My mother taught you that whoever you like is right." Who is forcing it? Everyone is dead now, what nonsense are you talking about? Obedience? It's ridiculous."
"Mother, I knew I was wrong, I knew it early in the morning." Fu Beishi choked up and said, "But mother...why is there no medicine for regret in this world?"
The last time Mrs. Zhen Guohou cried like this when she saw Fu Bei, it was when Fu Bei was babbling.
"There is no medicine for regret in this world. Nian Zhixia can't come back from the dead, so you can only look forward."
"I know that Xia can't die and come back to life." Fu Beishi insisted, "I want to observe the festival for Zhixia."
Mrs. Zhen Guohou sneered: "You scoundrel, do you want my mother to build a chastity archway for you?"
Fu Beishi pretended that he couldn't hear his mother's ridicule, and accepted it happily: "If mother wants to, do it immediately."
Madam Zhen Guohou spent a lot of time talking, but when she still couldn't persuade Fu Bei, she walked away angrily.
Four days later, Fu Beishi was finally able to get up.
He was in severe pain and went to the palace to face the saint.
Wen Renzheng was embracing Fu Nanxi to review the memorial, and upon hearing the announcement, he told Fu Beishi to come in.
Fu Nanxi was completely unaware that Fu Beishi had fallen off a cliff and his life was imminent. When he first saw Fu Beishi's expressionless face and stumbling feet, he got off Wen Renzheng's body, walked up to Fu Beishi, and hugged Fu Beishi: "Beishi, why are you gone?"
Fu Beishi explained: "On the first day of praying for my brother at the Huguo Temple, Zhixia jumped off the cliff in front of me in the middle of the night, and I jumped off the cliff right after him."
"Jump off a cliff?" Fu Nanxi suddenly realized, "No wonder I didn't see Bei Shi on the second and third day of the blessing ceremony."
He turned his head and glared at Wen Renzheng: "Zheng'er, you still lied to me that there was an important case to be dealt with in Beishi, so you went down the mountain early."
Wen Renzheng said with a guilty conscience: "It's my fault. At that time, Beishi was dying. I was afraid that I would provoke Zitong."
Fu Nanxi asked: "Bei Shi, you narrowly escaped death, so is Zhixia?"
"He's dead." Fu Beishi was full of remorse, "Brother, I'm an animal. I forced Zhixia, and I learned that Xia committed suicide."
"Zhixia is dead? Did you force Zhixia?" To Fu Nanxi, Nian Zhixia was a poor child who was once his nominal wife. He didn't have any special feelings for Nian Zhixia, but he heard the news of Nian Zhixia's death. , he still feels regretful that a good-looking, living child has become a handful of bones.
He claimed to understand his younger brother's temperament, and he never expected that his younger brother would force Nian Zhixia, and said heartbrokenly: "Why did you make such a big mistake so stupidly?"
Fu Beishi said frankly: "Knowing that Xia's heart is in the elder brother's hands, I am so jealous, I... I am obsessed with sex, I am a hypocrite, and I deserve to be cut to death."
"Knowing Xia's heart is pleasing to me?" Fu Nanxi said in confusion, "I don't think knowing Xia's heart is pleasing to me."
Wen Renzheng interjected suddenly: "The person who jumped off the cliff was not Nian Zhiqiu, but Nian Zhixia? So Nian Zhixia acted as a substitute marriage?"
"I knew it was a substitute marriage." Fu Nanxi patted Fu Beishi's head again, "Since the big mistake has been made, Beishi, whether you blame yourself or regret it, there is no room for redemption. You are not allowed to die for love again." Thoughts, you have to take care of Xia Haosheng's family for him."
Fu Beishi promised: "Well, I will no longer have the idea of dying for love, and I will take care of his family for Zhixia Haosheng."
Moreover, he has to take care of his parents' retirement, so he must not settle everything selfishly.
"That's good." Maybe the blessing ceremony really worked. Fu Nanxi felt that his physical condition had improved a lot, but he was not sure that he would live long enough to take care of his parents.
Therefore, as his only sibling, Fu Beishi must live well.
Even though he knew that Nian Zhixia was dead without a whole body, Wen Renzheng was still jealous because Nian Zhixia was so happy with Fu Nanxi.
When Fu Nanxi hugged Fu Bei, he hugged Fu Nanxi from behind Fu Nanxi, and said to himself: Zi Tong belongs to me alone.
Fu Nanxi knew that Wen Renzheng was jealous, and when he let go of Fu Bei, he asked, "Bei Shi, why are you entering the palace to face the sanctuary?"
Fu Bei immediately knelt down on the ground, walked away, and said bluntly: "Today, I have to observe the festival for Zhixia, and I can't marry Mingshu. I hope I will take it back."
Wen Renzheng said in astonishment: "You want to observe the festival for Nian Zhixia? Do you keep it for a lifetime? How can Wei Aiqing not compare with Nian Zhixia?"
Fu Beishi said without hesitation: "Yes, I will keep Zhixia's chastity for the rest of my life, and I will never touch anyone again. In the eyes of Weichen, Mingshu and Zhixia cannot be compared. Mingshu is Weichen's good friend, while Zhixia is He is a person who pleases the humble minister."
"To keep a festival for a dead person for the rest of my life..." Wen Renzheng couldn't help thinking of himself when he was young. If he had had such awareness at that time, he would not have lost Fu Nanxi for a full ten years.
Fu Nanxi sighed: "Beishi, as your elder brother, I don't want you to keep Zhixia's life forever; as a fool who has been let down repeatedly, I envy Zhixia very much. Beishi, I don't know whether I should persuade you."
Wen Renzheng said tremblingly, "Zitong, I have repented."
Fu Beishi coughed a few times: "I hope it will be taken back today."
"I agree with you." Wen Renzheng said frankly, "In fact, Wei Aiqing has begged me many times to take back my life."
"Mingshu is not a woman brought up under the three obediences and four virtues, so naturally she doesn't want to be trapped in the backyard." Fu Beishi twitched the corners of his lips, "If Weichen and Mingshu are forced to marry, they will definitely be bitter couples."
"It's because I messed up the mandarin ducks." Wen Renzheng said kindly, "But your parents are happy to see it succeed. After I take it back, I'm afraid I will make trouble for you."
"Weichen has already made it clear to my mother." After Fu Beishi fulfilled his wish, he immediately resigned.
As soon as he left the palace, he went straight to Nian's house.
He is eager to know where Nian Zhixia's grave is, just as his mother said, he has no face to worship Nian Zhixia and burn paper for Nian Zhixia, but fortunately he is a brazen person.
He went to Nian's house, but the door of Nian's house was closed.
He went to Nianfu and Nianzhichunzhi's booth to write letters for them, but they didn't even go to the stall.
He asked about the pancake stall next to him, and the stall owner said uncertainly: "It is said that something happened to their house, and I haven't seen them for several days."
Then, he returned to Nian's house, knocked on the neighbor's door, and asked, "Do you know where Nian's family has gone?"
The neighbor replied: "The youngest daughter of the Nian family, the youngest daughter who was given to Chongxi, the current empress and former eldest son of the Marquis of Zhenguo, died suddenly for no apparent reason. They took the youngest daughter's body back to their hometown."
"Going back to your hometown?" Fu Bei knew that Nian's hometown was in Xiangzhou, but Xiangzhou was too big. "Do you know where exactly their hometown is in Xiangzhou?"
The neighbor shook his head and said, "I don't know about that."
"Thank you." Fu Beishi entered the palace and asked Wen Renzheng for leave, and rode his horse to Xiangzhou.
Even if Xiangzhou is turned upside down, he still wants to find Nian's family.
He traveled day and night, and arrived in Xiangzhou in just five days.
As his health was not yet fully recovered, he developed a high fever as soon as he arrived in Xiangzhou.
With a high fever, he stubbornly searched for Nian's family.
After another three days, he finally fell ill in the street.
When he woke up, his coat was stripped off, his purse was stolen, but there were a few copper coins in front of him.
Obviously, some people regarded him as a fat sheep, while others regarded him as a beggar.
He stood up disheveled and walked towards the yamen.
He had never been so embarrassed in his life, but he remained calm as usual.
He once rescued disasters with the magistrate of Xiangzhou, the guards of the yamen still remembered him, welcomed him in, and said loudly: "Master Fu is here."
The magistrate of Xiangzhou came out to greet him immediately after finishing the trial of a case.
When had he ever seen Fu Beishi like this?Surprised: "Master Fu, what happened to you?"
Fu Beishi answered the wrong question: "I came to Xiangzhou to look for my dead wife."
Zhixia, you want me to remember you because you want me to remember the evil things I did to you?Anyway, I have done so many evil things, calling you "dead wife", can you bear it?
"Dead wife?" The magistrate of Xiangzhou only knew that Fu Beishi was the famous Liu Xiahui, who had never been close to women, and had no idea that Fu Beishi was married. "My lord, my condolences."
"My wife, Nian Zhixia, is from Xiangzhou. His family has returned to Xiangzhou from the capital. I beg Mr. Xie to help me find it." Fu Beishi described to Mr. Xie the details of the four members of the Nian family. After seeing his appearance, he allowed himself to pass out.
When he opened his eyes again, his first reaction was to ask the servant guarding him: "Did Mr. Xie find my wife Zhixia's family?"
"Master Fu, wait a moment." The servant hurried out.
Fu Bei stared at the door eagerly, and not long after, the servant came back.
Before the boy could speak, he said anxiously, "I found it, right?"
The boy gave Fu Beishi a negative answer: "I haven't found it yet."
Fu Beishi got off the bed in response: "I'll find it myself."
Before he left the yamen, he was stopped by Master Xie: "Master Fu, do you want to kill yourself?"
"Yes, I don't want to die." Fu Beishi was so weak that he couldn't break free, and was carried back on the bed by the yamen servant ordered by Mr. Xie.
Mr. Xie stood in front of the bed, and advised: "Master Fu, you will take care of it for the rest of your life, and it won't be too late to find it after you recover your body."
"I can't wait." Fu Beishi muttered to himself, "I want to meet Xia, I want to meet Xia, I want to meet Xia..."
Upon seeing this, Mr. Xie couldn't help but wonder if Fu Beishi had suffered from insanity.
He ordered someone to invite the doctor, and the doctor prescribed Fu Beishi a calming decoction.
After the decoction was ready, he made people restrain Fu Beishi, and poured the decoction for Fu Beishi himself.
Last year, Fu Beishi traveled thousands of miles and came to Xiangzhou, like a god, turning the tide.
If it weren't for Fu Beishi, the chaotic Xiangzhou would have been in chaos for a long time.
Last year, he never dreamed that Fu Beishi would become neither human nor ghost.
Fu Bei's high fever came and went, retreated and flared up again, and he rested for a total of seven days before he recovered a bit.
Then, he borrowed some silver taels from Mr. Xie, bought some clothes, and went to find Nian's family.
He walked on the land of Xiangzhou, every inch he walked, he suddenly felt that Nian Zhixia might have walked by.
Zhixia, Zhixia, Zhixia, I am happy with you.
He used his own feet to cover every inch of Xiangzhou, but unfortunately he did not find any traces of Nian's family.
Either the Nian family never returned to Xiangzhou, then he and the Nian family missed it.
He went to the prefectures and counties bordering Xiangzhou to search again, but still failed.
On September 21, he received a secret letter from Wen Renzheng, on which it was written: Zitong died of illness, return soon.
Elder brother's health has clearly improved, why the sudden turn for the worse?
I don't know what happened to my mother?
In a hurry, he rushed back without stopping.
The elder brother has gone out of the funeral and was buried in the imperial mausoleum. There is a man kneeling in front of the imperial mausoleum, with all white hair and a filial piety.
The man looked back at him, and he realized that the man was actually Wen Renzheng.
Wen Renzheng is only [-] years old, far from the age when his hair is completely white.
Wen Renzheng was so desperate, he was surprisingly calm: "Bei Shi, you're back, have you found Nian's family?"
"I can't find Nian's family." Fu Beishi came to Wen Renzheng's side and knelt down with Wen Renzheng.
"Northern time, my fate is connected with you." Xiangwen Renzheng held Fu Nanxi's tablet in his hand, and kept rubbing Fu Nanxi's name on it.
"Why did my brother pass away suddenly?" In just half a year, Fu Beishi lost Nian Zhixia and Fu Nanxi one after another. If he didn't still feel the pain, he would feel that he had fallen into a nightmare. As long as he opened his eyes, Nian Zhixia and Fu Nanxi would both safe and sound.
"I don't know why Zitong passed away suddenly, Zitong, Zitong has recovered, Zitong..." Wen Renzheng burst into tears, "I thought Zitong would grow old with me, but I don't know Widower on the fourteenth of September."
My elder brother once mentioned that he and I went to the cloud for the first time. The rainy day was September [-]th, and my elder brother died on September [-]th. How ironic?
Fu Beishi said sadly: "How good it would be if you didn't betray your brother in the past?"
"I have been regretting it all the time. I thought that Zitong would tolerate me. I thought that I was going to be the emperor. The Sangong and Sixth Courtyards are justified. It is because Zitong didn't know the general idea. I thought that Zitong just left in a fit of anger. Then I will consciously return to my side. Day after day passed, I failed to see Zi Tong, but I heard the news that the Fu family intends to marry the Wang family, of course I will not sit idly by, I deliberately married After leaving the Wang family, I deliberately favored the Wang family. I deliberately stopped the court for many days for the Wang family. I was competing with Nan Xi. I wanted to force Nan Xi to come to see me, but... Nan Xi has been unmoved. So I used you, Bei
