Does the villain stepmother have a headache again today!

Come low-key, go low-key.

This is what her mother kept telling her along the way, so she didn't understand why her mother had to go the other way only in the matter of Ping'an Hou and Luming Lane.

She is curious, and really wants to know how her mother thinks.

All the way to the north, her mother taught her a lot, including teaching her to think twice before acting, including teaching her to keep a clear head, and not to follow others' advice.

Although the mansion suffered successive changes, and even most of the treasury was burned down by a fire, the Marquis of Nanping's mansion would not be unable to find a place to live in Beijing. In a short time, the other party was forced to find another place to live.

What is this if it's not a fuss?

If it were someone else, she might really think that there was an element of fuss or anger in it, but during this period of time spent with her mother day and night, although most of the time she couldn't figure out what her mother was thinking, she knew, better understood, that her mother would not Doing these crazy things for no reason.

Including that the longer she has been in contact with her mother, the more she is even inclined. The fire in the mansion was set by her mother, in order to give the family a reason to leave Huicheng and go to Beijing.

Although she didn't know the benefits of doing so, she knew that if her mother did it, she must have her reasons, and it must be a reason that is beneficial to the mansion.

Therefore, Fu Aiquan trusted her.

Because of trust, I believe that my mother will never do meaningless or even superfluous things.

My mother can even handle the matters of Huicheng and entering Beijing properly, but a house...

The good ones can live, and the bad ones can live too.

unless……

Seeing that Ruan Tao didn't speak, Fu Quanquan said softly, "Mother insists on the mansion in Luming Lane for Marquis Ping'an, unless there is something special about Marquis Ping'an and Luming Lane's mansion."

After Fu Quanquan finished speaking, he looked at Ruan Tao seriously.

Along the way, she has been imitating her mother's way of life, and also reflecting on herself, hoping to become a shrewd person like her mother, but what she hopes more is her mother's approval.

This is different for her.

But the mother's approval she hopes for is not the same as others, it comes from the other party's approval.

It's that she can keep up with her footsteps, understand the meaning behind what she does, or even share what she can share.

For example, not only she, but also others will misunderstand the matter of settling in Beijing. She wants to know the ins and outs, and she also wants to share the burden for her mother.

Fu Aiquan looked at Ruan Tao seriously, hiding what he wanted to say in his eyes.

Ruan Tao also had a panoramic view.

Fu Wuquan is straight-tempered.

In the early days, likes and dislikes were sharp-edged, and even if you didn't speak, your emotions would be written on your face.

But I have to say that Fu Maoquan is actually smart, and more importantly, he can listen to the advice of others and knows what he wants, so the changes in Fu Maoquan during this period are obvious to all.

It's just that Fu Aiquan in his bones still can't hide things in his heart in front of trusted people.

So, if Fu Maoquan doesn't come to ask today, he will come tomorrow.

Ruan Tao glanced at Lan Dai, Lan Dai retreated from the house knowingly, and even closed the door; the guards and maids outside the house also retreated to a little distance.

Fu Yuquan was a little surprised. When her mother taught her before, most of them would not shy away from others, even Guo.

Today, Lan Dai sent everyone around him away.

Fu Maoquan vaguely felt that what her mother was going to tell her today was different from earlier, and also vaguely felt that her mother's trust in her should be more than before.

Sure enough, while pouring tea, Ruan Tao asked softly, "Then tell me first, who is Marquis Ping An?"

Fu Aiquan was slightly taken aback, he didn't expect his mother to ask her this, and soon, Fu Aiquan regained his thoughts, and said truthfully, "Xu Jin'an, Marquis of Ping'an, was ordered to enter Beijing when he was young, and has been living in Beijing as a guest, and then..."

Fu Wuquan couldn't remember clearly, and continued to search for memories in his mind, "Then..."

"Then what?" Ruan Tao continued to ask.

Fu Aiquan frowned, she didn't seem to know much, Fu Aiquan sighed softly, and said bravely, "Then, Marquis Ping'an seems to have been in Beijing all the time, with two, two or three children under his knees..."

Fu Wuquan told everything he could find out.

But it was obvious that she herself was aware of it. She didn't know much about it, so why did she come to her mother?

Sure enough, Ruan Tao finished pouring tea for her, and then started pouring tea for himself, saying in a low voice, "You came to ask me, but you don't seem to know much about it yourself?"

Although, Fu Yuquan sighed in his heart, his mother was indeed right.

She only knew that Marquis Ping'an was in Beijing, and the house was in Luming Lane, and then her mother first wrote a book, and then asked him to go to Beijing to urge him.

Sure enough, he was stabbed by his mother again...

Ruan Tao continued to ask, "Let's not talk about Marquis Ping'an, let's talk about the house in Luming Lane."

Fu Wuquan: "!!!"

Ruan Tao calmly said, "How big is the house, who lived in it earlier, who lived in the neighbors, is it convenient to go everywhere, and how far is it?"

Fu Wuquan: "..."

Fu Wuquan felt guilty.

She couldn't answer any of them...

Ruan Tao glanced at her again, and continued, "Or tell me, how much do you know about the house in Luming Lane, I'll listen."

Fu Wuquan was at a loss for words again: "..."

Ruan Tao also happened to push the cup a little forward with his fingertips, and then stopped in front of her.

It was tea for her.

For a moment, Fu Wuquan didn't know whether to reach out to take the tea.

Pick up tea, pick up stubble...

Sure enough, the mother didn't have to speak by herself, she could be speechless with every gesture.

Fu Wuquan could only say in a low voice, "I was reckless. I don't know much about the Marquis of Ping'an and Luming Lane, but I came here to ask my mother."

Earlier, she might have explained to her mother that she didn't mean it; but along the way, her mother taught her many lessons, one of which was that many details you wanted to explain, in fact, the other party didn't care at all. People's views on things and emotions are inconsistent. Sometimes you try your best to explain to the other party, but the other party will feel that you have missed the point of the matter.

For example, right now, Fu Wuquan suddenly has a deep understanding.

Mother wasn't really interested in her motives for asking these questions.What her mother wanted to teach her and her motives for coming here were two completely different things.

For the important things, is she well prepared before doing things, especially before doing things she is not sure about?

Preparation here is not seamless.

Not sure, how could it be seamless?

Being well prepared refers to how much confidence you have in your heart before asking others.This confidence comes from my own cognition and judgment of the people, things, and things involved in this matter, and also includes the response I should have after asking this question.

Opening the mouth is always the easiest, just opening the mouth; but before opening the mouth, and after opening the mouth, there is a gap between people.

Fu Maoquan just wanted to get up, but Ruan Tao picked up the teacup and said slowly, "Marquis of Ping'an, whose surname is Xu and whose name is Jin'an. There is "Xu Da". Xu Jin'an's elder brother was a Jinshi when he was young. Years, fame..."

Speaking of this, Ruan Tao looked at Fu Wuquan in a daze, and asked with a smile, "Is this script familiar?"

"Huh?" Fu Yuquan was dumbfounded.

But soon, Fu Wuquan nodded slowly again.Familiar, of course familiar, as if he was born into a family like his father, he was talented and intelligent when he was young, and later went to the border, made great achievements, and his reputation spread far and wide.

Fu Wuquan finished speaking truthfully, but as soon as he finished speaking, he seemed to realize something suddenly.

Fu Wuquan fell silent.

Ruan Tao looked at her and continued, "Coincidentally, when Boyun first went to the border, he also met Xu Jinan's elder brother, the son of Marquis of Ping'an at that time, Xu Jiming. At that time, Xu Jiming was already in the army. With prestige, when Boyun first came to the army, he encountered the most difficult battle. Many people died. It was Xu Jiming who picked Boyun out of the dead. There were no horses and no water, but he carried all the way. Fu Boyun returned from the place where he was ambushed to the camp that had retreated for dozens of miles..."

Ruan Tao did not lie, Mama Liu told her.

Mama Liu was the mother in charge who took care of Fu Boyun earlier, so she thought Mama Liu should know a lot of things.

So she asked Mama Liu about it, and Mama Liu told her many things.

For example, Xu Zhiming's paragraph.

Even Liu's mother told her that after Xu Jiming picked Fu Boyun out of the dead and carried him back to the camp, Xu Jiming told Fu Boyun not to tell anyone about it, live on, and then go back to see his father.Until many years later, Fu Boyun and Liu Ma lamented that at that time, he was young and could not understand, nor could he guess what Xu Zhiming was thinking, but in fact, at that time Xu Zhiming knew that he would not be able to go back alive to see his father and younger brother.

What Mama Liu told her, she did not omit to tell Fu Wuquan.

Fu Wuquan froze and didn't react for a long time.

"Didn't you want to ask about the house in Ping'an Hou and Luming Lane? This is the origin of the house in Ping'an Hou and Luming Lane. ——Because Xu Jiming went to the border and saved Boyun's life. about..."

Ruan Tao picked up the teacup and took a sip, then said softly, "So, many times, many things are not as simple as what we see at first glance."

"I..." Fu Wuquan was at a loss for words.

In fact, after hearing this, Fu Aiquan already knew that this matter was not simply for no reason. His mother just picked a coincidental time to make the matter of wanting a house seem reasonable.

She thought too simply...

Fu Wuquan didn't know what to say, or didn't say anything, so he could only pick up the teacup, and like his mother, he took a sip, and then put it down slowly, his heart was still shocked, and his eyelashes blinked lightly , "Then, what happened later?"

If her mother didn't want to tell her more, she wouldn't have let Lan Dai distract others.

Mother wanted to continue talking about Ping Anhou and Luming Lane with her.

Sure enough, Ruan Tao lowered his head and continued pouring tea, "Later Xu Jiming died in battle, and his younger brother, later the Marquis of Pingan, Xu Jin'an inherited the title of son. The late Emperor was heartbroken when he heard the news of Xu Jiming's death, as a show of sympathy, So he issued an edict to let the young Xu Jinan come to Beijing as a "guest residence" and take care of him personally. The title of Xu Jinan was also taken by the first emperor when he was crowned at twenty. Wuyu means to be carefree and peaceful. In this way, Xu Jinan "worry-free" No worries, nothing to worry about, "I have to stay in Beijing for several years, and until now, I have never left Beijing on the way."

Fu Wuquan was slightly surprised, "One, have you stayed in Beijing?"

"Yes." Ruan Tao finished pouring tea for her, and continued to pour tea for himself, "Ping'an Hou'Xu Er' is completely different from his brother, Xu Jiming is the proud son of heaven, 'Xu Er' has been a The well-known dandy in Beijing, relying on his elder brother to die in battle, and relying on the late emperor's protection of him, he really lived a carefree, peaceful and carefree idiot plus a dandy. Before getting married, he lingered in Hualou and got married. Afterwards, Mrs. Xu took strict control and stopped going to the Hualou, but ate, drank and had fun with a group of cronies, went to various gambling houses, and made a lot of money every day."

Fu Wuquan: "..."

Fu Yuquan was surprised.

In a century-old family, it is not uncommon to see playboys, but perhaps the story of Marquis Ping'an's elder brother is too tragic, so Xu Jin'an's story is unexpected.

"When the first emperor was here, he fulfilled his promise to take care of Xu Jin'an. Xu Jin'an spent his days and nights in the capital, and if he got into trouble, the first emperor would take care of him. In order to save face, they successively sold real estate title deeds in Beijing, and collected famous artifacts. They became increasingly poor. The Marquis of Ping'an's mansion was already in decline, and the last breath that Xu Jiming brought to the Marquis of Ping'an's mansion was also exhausted. The trees fell and the monkeys scattered, and Xu Jin'an and others It should be evident from the fact that he sold his original mansion in Beijing, moved all the way to Luming Lane, and finally handed over the house in Luming Lane to your father."

After Ruan Tao finished speaking, Fu Maoquan was full of sighs.

It seems that decades of ups and downs, honors and disgraces of a century-old family are condensed in these simple paragraphs, which makes people feel indescribable emotion and taste.

Xu Shi, Nanping Hou Mansion and Ping An Hou Mansion are both feudal Marquis Mansions, and they were also a century-old family earlier. At this time, it is inevitable that when talking about Ping An Hou Mansion, they will re-examine Nanping Marquis...

In particular, the circumstances of the Marquis of Ping'an and the Marquis of Nanping are similar, and there are some similarities.

Fu Wuquan was shocked in his heart.

When looking at Ruan Tao, his voice became a little deeper, "This house in Luming Lane is actually what Dad wanted to get back before he was alive, right?"

Ok.

Not stupid yet.

Ruan Tao looked at her and nodded slightly, "If Boyun is still alive, the person who came to Beijing to find Xu Er to return to the house should be him..."

Fu Wuquan froze.

For a moment, Fu Wuquan's heart was filled with emotion.There was a long silence, the room was so quiet that there was only the "hissing" sound of the wick burning in the lamp, and the sound of Ruan Tao pouring tea.

"Although I don't know how many times your father and Xu Jin'an have met each other and what the relationship is like, I know that leaving no clues is the best protection for the other party. Xu Jiming saved Fu Boyun's life. Recite him, that memory will be engraved in anyone's heart. So I know, the more you don't keep it on paper, the more you protect it, just like what Xu Jiming said to your father that day, leave alive Bianguan, don't tell anyone; just like now, there is no directional intersection left between Fu Boyun and Xu Jinan, except for this land deed."

After Ruan Tao finished speaking, he also handed over the title deed to Fu Maoquan.

Fu Maoquan took it tremblingly, and also saw the sentence attached to it in familiar handwriting - when I return to Beijing this time, I will ask Xu Er to come back.

Fu Yuquan's eyes were slightly red.

Ruan Tao calmly said, "This title deed is set up in the account book. Who in the mansion usually reads the account book?"

Fu Wuquan took a deep breath and said softly, "Uncle Song?"

Grandma didn't understand these things, except for keeping the keys to the treasury, she never cared about them.

Suddenly, Fu Aiquan seemed to understand something, and said in astonishment, "So, this note and title deed from my father are for Uncle Song..."

Ruan Tao didn't interrupt, Fu Yuquan swallowed softly, and the unbelievable expression gradually emerged in his eyes, and became clearer, "Father is afraid that he won't be able to come back this time, so I put these in Song Bohui According to the account book, if he can't come back, let Uncle Song take the land deed and go to Beijing to find Marquis Ping'an to return to the house in Luming Lane?"

Ruan Tao nodded again.

The ruddy in Ruan Tao's eyes gradually gathered together, and his voice gradually choked up, "Why does father have to go back to that house?"

Ruan Tao also took a deep breath, and tried his best to calm down, "What he wants is not a house, what he wants is a chance for Xu Jinan to leave Beijing..."
