Chapter 134: The gift I left for my son, do you like it? Hahahaha!
Upon hearing this, the Queen Mother frowned slightly, looked at Old Madam Fu suspiciously, and asked softly, "Cousin, what on earth is this wooden box?"
Upon seeing this, Mrs. Fu did not dare to be negligent and immediately began to explain in detail the origin of the wooden box.
It turns out that this wooden box was discovered during the Fu family’s family sacrifice.
Today is the Fu family's annual family sacrifice ceremony. In the early morning, Academician Fu led the entire Fu family to the ancestral hall to worship their ancestors.
Just as everyone was kneeling on the ground and bowing their heads devoutly, there was suddenly a loud "bang" and everyone looked up in shock.
Everyone looked in the direction of the sound and were surprised to find that the tablet at the top had somehow tilted backwards, making the noise just now.
What was even more unexpected was that when everyone looked closely, they found that the bottom of the tablet was empty, and where the tablet should have been placed, there was a wooden box quietly placed.
As for why the Fu family brought this wooden box into the palace to present it to the Queen Mother, it was because the Fu family found a note and another small wooden box inside the wooden box.
The latter is the wooden box in Fu Rong's hand now.
On the note was written: I got this magical medicine by chance, and it is said to cure the ancestral disease. If future generations are troubled by stubborn diseases, maybe you can give it a try! However, whether you can get this magical medicine depends entirely on chance! Fu Heng stayed.
The fallen tablet was exactly the tablet of Fu Heng, the first patriarch of the Fu family.
Although the Fu family has always been based on courtesy for hundreds of years, there are exceptions.
The only exception is Fu Heng.
The original reason why the Fu family attached so much importance to etiquette was entirely because of Fu Heng.
Fu Heng was born playful and particularly liked to play tricks on others, especially his family members.
Even in his later years, when he was very old, he still loved teasing his son, Fu Qing, who had become the second-generation head of the Fu family.
For example, one time when Fu Qing invited a friend to his home to admire his treasured paintings, he was speechless to find that the paintings were covered with turtles, with a line of words next to them: "This is a gift from me for my son. Do you like it? Hahahaha!"
Fu Qing was furious when he saw it: Like? Like it or not!
In this way, he not only lost face in front of his friends, but also ruined a fine work of art.
Fu Qing was so angry that he almost went crazy. How could he talk about love at all?
But facing his father, Fu Qing was helpless and could only accept the defeat.
From then on, every time he left the study, he would order people to lock the doors and windows, and check again and again to make sure everything was OK before leaving. This way he could avoid his father sneaking in and causing trouble again.
Another time, Fu Qing went for an outing in the suburbs with his friends. When he got up, he found that all his socks had holes cut in them and could not be worn at all.
With no other choice, he could only put on shoes barefoot. After a whole day of playing, blisters appeared on the soles of his feet.
Fu Qing didn't need to think, he knew who did it. There was only one person in the entire Fu family who was so outrageous, so bold, and so ignorant of etiquette! !
This kind of thing happens every once in a while, which makes Fu Heng very annoyed. The key is that he has no idea what unexpected thing his father will do next time. It is simply impossible to guard against it!
Therefore, after Fu Heng passed away, in order to prevent the Fu family from having naughty people like his father in the future, Fu Qing immediately set about establishing a series of family rules.
Among these family rules, the most important and core part is the emphasis and regulations on etiquette.
He explicitly required all members of the Fu family to strictly abide by the rules of etiquette and never do anything inappropriate or impolite.
Not only that, Fu Qing also instilled the concept of attaching importance to etiquette into family members through various means, and practiced these rules by setting an example himself.
Thanks to his efforts, the entire Fu family gradually formed a strong atmosphere of etiquette and culture, and even developed into a family based on it.
The first person in the Fu family to suffer from the stubborn disease of hair loss was Fu Heng. The disease was passed down from his generation to the next, including Fu Qing who also suffered from the stubborn disease.
What no one knows is that Fu Heng once obtained a precious elixir that could potentially cure hair loss, but he did not take it out directly, nor did he leave it for himself or his legitimate son. Instead, he chose to hide it and leave it to future generations with better luck.
However, the way he left this elixir behind is really laughable!
Who the hell would hide the elixir in the base of their own tablet? !
Who the hell could know this?!
Which young generation would go and look through the tablets of their own ancestors? !
After seeing the note, the Fu family members suddenly felt a sense of enlightenment, as if they finally understood the difficulties and good intentions of Ancestor Fu Qing back then.
It turns out that those strange stories about Patriarch Fu Heng recorded in the family history were not nonsense, but true stories!
Once, when they were reading the family history, they were confused and puzzled by the unbelievable behaviors of Patriarch Fu Heng described in it, and even suspected that those were malicious slanders against his father by Patriarch Fu Qing.
However, at this moment, the truth seems far from that - the head of the Fu Heng family is actually so naughty, and this bad behavior spans the long river of time, and even his descendants in later generations have not been spared.
Regarding the Fu family's ancestral hair loss disease, only the person concerned, the head of the family and his wife knew about it.
Because of this, Grand Secretary Fu and Old Madam Fu naturally knew what had happened to the Empress Dowager.
After all, among this generation of clansmen, only the Queen Mother was unlucky enough to fall victim to the trick...
Queen Mother:…
Therefore, when the two saw the word "chronic disease" written on the note in the box, they immediately realized that it was referring to the randomly inherited hair loss disease in the family.
After the sacrifice, Grand Secretary Fu quickly told Madam Fu to take the small wooden box and rush to the palace to meet the Queen Mother.
The mysterious little wooden box has never been opened from beginning to end.
The two people who came along came purely out of concern and care for Madam Fu.
They had no idea what the "chronic disease" written on the note meant. They just thought it might be some stubborn minor illness that was difficult to cure but would not cause much trouble in daily life.
Not only did they think so, but other members of the Fu family also thought so.
No one would associate this with the issue of hair loss. After all, even the last person who suffered from this disease wore a hat all day long, and others had no way of guessing that there was actually a bald patch hidden under the hat...
After listening to Madam Fu’s story, the whole audience fell into deathly silence.
The Queen Mother was extremely shocked. She simply could not imagine that her maternal ancestor Fu Heng had such a temperament.
This was very different from the image of the Fu family in her memory.
She couldn't help but sigh inwardly: Ancestor Fu Heng is such a strange man!
Eunuch Li was very surprised. He didn't expect that the pills bought by Xiao Fuguan would be delivered in this way! It was really unexpected!
At this moment, he wanted to inform His Majesty of this news immediately, but he also wanted to see what effect the Queen Mother would have after taking the pills...
