Chapter 54
Hu Xinya was rescued by Fu Yunshen and taken back to Fu's house. Hu Xinya had seen Fu Yunshen's face in the news, but she didn't know why she pounced on another gentleman just now.
Fu Yunshen said as he drove: "Ms. Hu, why don't you stay at my place for a while and wait until those evil forces are caught before making plans."
Hu Xinya had a good impression of the Fu family. It was great that Mr. Fu was willing to save her. She hummed softly and said, "Thank you."
Fu Yunshen thought about the doubts about Hu Daqiang's death, and then asked Hu Xinya: "Miss Hu, I would like to ask, did your father see a person named Shang Lu before his death? Was there another reason for his suicide?"
Xie Jingxing found Shang Lu's photo on Fu Yunshen's phone and handed it to Hu Xinya. Hu Xinya took a look and said, "I've seen him before. Three days before my dad committed suicide, this gentleman came to see him after he got off work. At that time, I was wondering how a man like my dad could know such a powerful gentleman, so I was deeply impressed."
"After he came back from meeting Shanglu, he seemed very excited and happy. I haven't seen him this happy in a long time, except when he won money from gambling."
Hu Xinya suddenly remembered something and took out an old notebook from her schoolbag. She said, "Oh, by the way, I also took his account book. I turned to the back and saw a strange sentence. Judging from the order of the dates in the account, it should have been written after meeting Shang Lu..."
Hu Xinya turned to that page and handed the notebook to Xie Jingxing. On it, Hu Daqiang wrote in crooked handwriting: "God said, let there be light, and there was light."
Xie Jingxing read it to Fu Yunshen.
Fu Yunshen didn't react at all, but the system suddenly said: [This... this is... the Lord God...] It felt like its hair was about to stand up.
Fu Yunshen turned his head and looked at Xie Jingxing.
Xie Jing Xing said calmly: "I have heard this sentence many times. The Lord God really likes to show off himself in this way. He has forgotten that he is just an elected manager, not a god."
Hu Xinya was a little nervous and asked, "Is this some kind of evil cult?"
This description is quite appropriate. Xie Jingxing said: "Maybe."
He has asked the people he left there to get Hu Daqiang's past information, and the information should be clear soon.
Fu Yunshen knew that the solution to this matter depended on Xie Jingxing, so he comforted her, "Don't be afraid, Miss Hu. We will solve everything. As a student, you just need to study hard."
Hu Xinya simply felt that the Dad Fu she called him on the Internet was indeed a dad. He was really reassuring and liked to encourage people to learn from him.
Arriving at the Fu residence, Hu Xinya was stunned to see the lively family. Fu Yunshen asked the housekeeper to take Hu Xinya to settle down, and then said: "They are all your peers. You can make mooncakes with them later."
Yu Zhou looked at Fu Yunshen speechlessly and said, "This can't be your real goddaughter, right?"
Hu Xinya looked puzzled. Lu Ning pulled Yu Zhou, whose hands were covered in flour, back to the kitchen.
Fu Yunshen let them play by themselves, and went upstairs with Xie Jingxing to pour out the osmanthus flowers in the paper bag and put them on the balcony to dry.
He smiled and said, "God said, 'Let there be light,' and there was light. Don't you think the Lord God is very..." He thought about the adjective that the system liked to use, "Well, second-rate."
Xie Jingxing said: "After you read our memories, you will probably understand the Lord God's thoughts."
Our memory, Fu Yunshen likes this word.
After a lively day, Hu Xinya, who originally felt lonely, celebrated the Mid-Autumn Festival with these people, made moon cakes together, and picked osmanthus flowers in the garden to make osmanthus wine together. Suddenly, she felt that the world was not so sad.
As night fell, the highlight of the day - moon-watching finally arrived. The sofas, tables and chairs were moved under the osmanthus tree in the garden. The table was placed with the mooncakes they made today, as well as some food and drinks.
The bright and clear full moon shines down, a warm and romantic candlestick is lit on the table, and the subtle fragrance of osmanthus is floating in the air.
Fu Yunshen and Xie Jingxing sat on the long sofa in the middle. Xie Jingxing picked up a small piece of mooncake with a silver fork and fed it to Fu Yunshen. Fu Yunshen ate it, clicked his tongue, and asked, "Who made this?"
Yu Zhou said confidently: "What's wrong with what I did?"
Forget it, it’s better to pamper this spoiled daughter, so Fu Yunshen also took a piece and fed it to Xie Jingxing.
A group of children were playing games and setting off fireworks there. Fu Yunshen leaned on Xie Jingxing's shoulder. Xie Jingxing took out a sachet and said, "This is a Mid-Autumn Festival gift. I made it last year. I can give it to you every year from now on. I hope we can see each other every year and be reunited in love."
The noise of the children over there made this side very peaceful and quiet. Fu Yunshen said, "This is the first time I hear you say sweet words to me. I want to hear more. Say more..."
Xie Jingxing suddenly said: "I love you."
Fu Yunshen was stunned and said, "I don't think I've ever told you this."
Xie Jingxing said: "Shen Shen, come on, take a look at our past."
Fu Yunshen intuitively felt that this past might not be ordinary cruelty, so people like Xie Jingxing had to feed him sweet things and waited until now to show him.
Fu Yunshen lay on the sofa with his head resting on Xie Jingxing's lap. Xie Jingxing gently placed his hand on his forehead.
He is Xie Jingxing, the fourth son of the Xie family. His eldest sister is the queen, a virtuous and dignified mother of the country.
Your Majesty has a concubine named Fu who is the most favored in the harem. This concubine Fu came from a merchant family and was selected into the palace because her father donated a small official position.
After gaining favor, Concubine Fu brought her younger brother Fu Yunshen from Yangzhou to the capital, hoping that he would make friends with the famous families in the capital and change the Fu family's fate of being in business for generations.
It was a season when tung trees were in full bloom and the rain was drizzling. Xie Jingxing saw the boy for the first time, bright and lively.
The noble sons of the capital all looked down on him and disdained to make friends with him. However, Xie Jingxing, who had been framed by the etiquette of the aristocratic family since childhood, was very interested in him. Reading thousands of books is not as good as traveling thousands of miles. In Xie Jingxing's eyes, Fu Yunshen was a person who had traveled thousands of miles with his family since childhood. Making friends with him could broaden his horizons.
After the banquet ended, Fu Yunshen, who was rather coldly received, left contentedly, but Xie Jingxing chased him out and called out to him, "Master Fu, please stay."
Fu Yunshen gazed at his younger self from Xie Jingxing's perspective.
It was drizzling and the tung flowers were falling.
This was the first time they met and spoke to each other, but they unexpectedly had such a good conversation and became friends.
Fu Yunshen called him "Brother Jingxing."
Xie Jingxing also called him, "Brother Yunshen."
The friendship between young people is so simple, they can talk about anything and become close friends. Fu Yunshen realized Xie Jingxing's appreciation and love for him.
However, Fu Yunshen was unwilling to work hard in the capital, so he left the capital a year later and continued to do business, while Xie Jingxing won the top three places in the imperial examination and entered the court as an official.
A few years later, the Fu family, under the control of Fu Yunshen, became the richest family in Yangzhou, and Xie Jingxing became the youngest prime minister by relying on the power of the Xie family and his own talents.
The fight between the Empress and the Imperial Concubine in the palace has reached a life-and-death stage. Imperial Concubine Fu is still in great favor but cannot rely on her mother's family. The Empress comes from a prominent family but is deeply feared by the Emperor. Everyone wants their son to become the Crown Prince.
So, Concubine Fu invited Fu Yunshen to the capital, hoping that he could help her in the fight for the throne.
It was another boring banquet, Xie Jingxing was invited to attend. From a distance, he saw Fu Yunshen lazily leaning on his seat. From his perspective, Fu Yunshen could feel the joy in his calm heart.
But the wine glass of Liushang Qushui happened to float in front of Fu Yunshen. Amidst the laughter and cheers of a group of people, Fu Yunshen casually wrote a couplet.
The words were standard, neither good nor bad, but these people just wanted to laugh at him and made sarcastic remarks. Fu Yunshen didn't care at all and returned to his seat casually.
Xie Jingxing, who was surrounded by a group of powerful officials, walked out quickly, but suddenly said, "The calligraphy is very beautiful, I like it very much, please give it to me, Boss Fu."
Xie Xiang's calligraphy is highly sought after and priceless, and no one dares to refute Xie Xiang's comments.
Fu Yunshen smiled and said, "Of course."
After not seeing each other for many years, they met again, and their mutual appreciation remained unchanged. In the political situation, the richest man in Yangzhou and Xie Xiang were enemies, but behind everything, Fu Yunshen and Xie Jingxing were close friends.
Gradually, they fell in love.
From Xie Jingxing's emotions, Fu Yunshen felt that he would sometimes examine himself, wondering if he was deliberately "seducing" him.
But he could see that there was pure love in Fu Yunshen's eyes, nothing else mixed in.
So Xie Jingxing created the "Fu style" for him, wrote poems for him, played the zither for him, brewed sweet-scented osmanthus wine for him, and devoted all the elegance of the world to love...
Fu Yunshen gave him a city full of blooming peonies, the most gorgeous fireworks in the city, and took him to see the most beautiful scenery. He was extremely extravagant and his love was sincere...
Peonies and orchids are deeply in love.
On the other hand, there was an endless struggle between the Queen and the Imperial Concubine.
On an autumn afternoon, osmanthus flowers were in full bloom. Fu Yunshen rested his head on Xie Jingxing's lap. The warm sunlight made him feel sleepy. Fu Yunshen murmured in a low voice, "Osmanthus flowers are the taste of home. When can we have a home?"
So, during the Mid-Autumn Festival, Xie Jingxing gave him an osmanthus sachet and a house, saying, "This is our home."
Fu Yunshen planted many osmanthus trees in his house and said, "From now on, we will celebrate every Mid-Autumn Festival together."
One day, Fu Yunshen thought of the sycamore trees in the Xie family's yard and suddenly asked, "Why did the Xie family plant so many sycamore trees?"
Xie Jingxing replied: "The phoenix lives in the wutong tree."
"I understand. The Xie family has produced three queens." Fu Yunshen said jokingly, "Then I want to plant one in our yard, too."
"Why?"
Fu Yunshen clapped his folding fan and said, "I am the phoenix living in this tree, and I am your queen."
"Plant it. This is your home. You can live in the tree from now on."
Later, Fu Yunshen really planted a paulownia tree in the yard.
Fu Yunshen understood Xie Jingxing's emotions - this was Shen Shen's and his home. Every time he looked at the tree, he always had a warm feeling that he and Shen Shen would spend the future years together, and the tree would be watched by them and grow slowly.
The Empress and the Imperial Concubine were busy fighting, the Emperor was obsessed with beauty, but the court was already in turmoil, and the border was in danger. Xie Jingxing worked hard, and even Fu Yunshen donated a lot of military pay.
However, the entire court was rotten from the root, and the emperor was afraid of Xie Jingxing, so he restricted him everywhere and was unable to do anything.
The military pay donated by Fu Yunshen was also extorted by corrupt officials layer by layer, and only one tenth of it remained in the hands of the soldiers at the border.
The border was in crisis again, and Fu Yunshen decided to return to Yangzhou to personally purchase food and fodder and have the Fu family's caravan deliver them to the front line.
It was drizzling that day and the tung flowers were in full bloom. They said goodbye under the short tree.
Xie Jingxing walked towards Fu Yunshen, tidied his clothes affectionately, put the folded amulet in, and said softly, "Go home early."
Both of them thought it was a short separation, but Xie Jingxing didn't expect that a month later, he would receive the news of Fu Yunshen's death. He was assassinated by his eldest sister.
Xie Jingxing was grief-stricken. The story after that was unremarkable. Xie Jingxing found Fu Yunshen's body and found a place to be buried together in the future.
In anger, he changed the dynasty of this corrupt and declining court, ascended the throne, and made Fu Yunshen, who wanted to live under the phoenix tree, really become the "Empress Fu". From then on, Xie Jingxing wore mourning clothes and lived in the remembrance of his lover.
Fu Yunshen thought that his past with Xie Jingxing ended here.
However, after being buried together with himself and the coffin was closed, Fu Yunshen, who was in Xie Jingxing's perspective, discovered that he opened his eyes again.
It was a drizzling day and the tung flowers were falling.
Xie Jingxing saw the young Fu Yunshen.
Fu Yunshen felt his heart break at Xie Jingxing's emotions, and the pain in his heart almost suffocated him.
Xie Jing Xing let him wake up from this memory, hugged him and kissed him gently, whispering: "Don't be afraid, have some candy."
In the Fu family's garden, children's laughter and joyful voices were heard in the distance, and the moonlight symbolizing reunion and the warm fragrance of osmanthus flowers dispelled the pain in their memories.
Xie Jingxing kissed him for a while and fed him a bite of mooncake. Fu Yun took a deep breath and said, "Is this made by Yu Jiaojiao again? Can Lu Ning teach him?"
Xie Jing Xing chuckled and said, "Little Lu Ning may also think that cats need to be pampered."
After eating the candy that Xie Jingxing fed him, Fu Yunshen felt a little relieved and said, "Go on."
They returned to the time when they first met, but when they met again, Fu Yunshen no longer recognized him and called him "Brother Jingxing."
Xie Jingxing wanted to call him "Shen Shen", but he couldn't change the words he said, and called Fu Yunshen "Brother Yunshen."
The author has something to say: In the ancient version, two people had a sweet love affair in an old sadistic story...
