Chapter 1179 Fu Wenhua
Fu Wenhua, the only son of County Magistrate Fu and the younger brother of Fu Wenyun, is exactly the same age as Bai Shan.
If you count carefully, Bai Shan and Man Bao have seen him three times. Once, they saw him from afar when they were sending their family away from Luojiang County. The other two times they saw him when they went to see Miss Fu Er. The words they said could be counted on one hand.
If they ran into each other on the street, they would not recognize each other.
However, as soon as they introduced their names, they were definitely impressed by each other.
Everyone, including Bai Jilang, will be impressed by him.
Because, although they rarely meet, their names have always lived in each other's lives.
Especially little Fu Wenhua. Ever since he was very young, his father liked to beat him while checking his homework. "Bai Shan from Qili Village, who is about your age, was able to write an article to tell me about some of the shortcomings in water conservancy construction. And you, as for me, reciting an article from the Analects is like asking you to die..."
"Look, this is an article written by Bai Shanxin from Qili Village..."
"Look, Bai Shan from Qili Village has even read The Great Learning..."
"Look, this is the handwriting of Zhou Man from Qili Village. Look at your handwriting..."
"Look, this is a letter from Zhou Man from Qili Village to your second sister. She's a girl who has memorized half of the Spring and Autumn Annals, but you can't even memorize the Great Learning..."
What Bai Shan heard was what Man Bao said, "Second Sister Fu said that her brother is very slow in studying, and now the teacher's focus is on her brother. She has been studying on her own, and only asks the teacher when she doesn't understand. But the teacher is a bit pedantic. He always puts up a screen in front of her when teaching, and he doesn't like to give her answers. It's better for her to take the book to ask her father."
"Second sister Fu said she really wanted to beat her brother up."
"Sister Fu said she secretly wrote an article for her brother, and then asked her brother to give it to the teacher for correction..."
Or maybe it was what Bai Erlang said, "My dad said that if I go back to the village and play around with them, I'll be the next Fu Wenhua. So, am I really that bad at studying?"
So, when the two young men met in the hall, they stared at each other for a while. Fu Wenhua twitched the corners of his mouth and bowed unhappily, "So it's Mr. Bai. I've heard a lot about you."
Bai Shan returned the greeting, "Master Fu, I have long heard of your great name."
Fu Wenhua felt that he was scolding him, but he had no evidence for the time being, so he snorted in his heart, and immediately stepped forward and took Yue Dalang's hand, calling affectionately: "Second brother-in-law, where is my second sister?"
Yue Dalang obviously didn't expect his brother-in-law to suddenly appear in the capital, and suddenly appear in his house, so he was stunned for a while before saying, "Your second sister is in the backyard, why are you in the capital?"
Fu Wenhua was dusty and tired, but also very happy. He ignored Bai Shan standing beside him and just pulled Yue Dalang to talk. "Father was promoted to Chief Clerk of Jianzhou, so he had to go to Beijing to report on his work. Mother was worried about my second sister being pregnant, so our family followed father to Beijing to visit my second sister. By the way, where is my second sister? Why hasn't she come yet?"
Yue Dalang thought about his father's outburst last night and the neighbors' vague gossip, and a cold sweat broke out on his body. "Yue, are my father-in-law and mother-in-law here too?"
"They're here, but they're still on their way. I'm afraid they'll arrive two days later," Fu Wenhua said happily. "Mother fell ill on the way, so she walked a little slower. Father thought we'd need to rent a house and other things before we could come to Beijing, so he asked Butler Xu to come first. Hehehe, I was impatient to walk slowly behind, so Butler Xu and I came first."
Fu Wenhua was surprised to see that Fu Wenyun hadn't come out yet. "Second sister hasn't come yet? Why is Chuncao so slow? I'll go see her myself. Second brother-in-law, please greet the guests."
After saying that, she was about to go to the backyard. Yue Dalang quickly gave Bai Shan an apologetic smile, then quickly caught up with her and said, "Wenhua, Wenhua, your second sister just gave birth. She can't go into the delivery room right now."
Fu Wenhua suddenly stopped, turned around and widened his eyes, "What? My sister gave birth?"
Yue Dalang couldn't help but smile and nodded, "It's a boy."
Fu Wenhua ran to the backyard and Yue Dalang hurriedly chased after him. Bai Shan stood at the door of the hall, watching the two of them running away with a smile.
Fu Wenhua didn't care about whether it was unlucky or not, and ran straight in to find his second sister.
Fu Wenyun was also surprised and asked, "Why did you come to Beijing?"
Fu Wenhua was relieved to see that although she looked pale, she looked fine. "My father and mother came here together. My father was promoted to Chief Clerk of Jianzhou and was going to Beijing to report on his work. My mother and I wanted to see you, so we came together."
Fu Wenyun blinked. "Changshi? Isn't that Sima?"
"It was Sima, but my father had been in office for just over a month when the Chief Clerk suffered a stroke and collapsed," Fu Wenhua chuckled. "The Governor-General found my father to be the most suitable successor after much deliberation, so he recommended my father to the Ministry of Personnel. The Ministry of Personnel approved it, and my father went to the capital to report on his work."
In fact, it has not been approved yet, but the Ministry of Personnel has agreed with the recommendation of the Jianzhou Governor with a high probability. The reason why County Magistrate Fu was asked to come to Beijing to report on his work is to take a final look. If there is no problem, the official document will be given and he can take office after he has packed up.
Normally, County Magistrate Fu would have been the only one to go to the capital for this matter, but isn’t Fu Wenyun already in the capital?
Although Mrs. Fu always disliked her for being disobedient, she was the daughter that she had raised in her arms, and she had never agreed to let her go to the capital with such a big belly.
Seeing that her brother-in-law was outside the room and hadn't come in, Fu Wenhua frowned and sat down on the stool beside the bed, complaining in a low voice: "On the way here, my mother kept complaining that you should wait until the baby was born before coming to Beijing. It's not convenient to travel with a big belly..."
Fu Wenyun laughed and said, "Now that the child is born, you're saying it's too young to go out."
"That's what I said, but now that you've come to the capital, she can't miss you anymore. She keeps nagging me and my father about you every day. Oh, where's my nephew? Bring him here so I can see him."
Nanny Fu, who had been holding the child, was almost frozen with laughter. Upon hearing this, she immediately picked up the child and showed him to him.
Fu Wenhua looked at the ugly and small child, wanting to hug him but not daring to, and could only say, "How ugly."
Manbao said: "You were like this when you were born, it will be fine as you grow older."
Fu Wenhua looked at her and felt that she looked familiar, but he couldn't recognize her, so he asked, "Who are you?"
Manbao said: "Zhou Man."
Fu Wenhua immediately remembered, "Oh, you came here with Bai Shan."
He became a little depressed and asked unfriendlyly, "What are you doing here?"
See you at 8pm
