After a while, Mrs. Shang looked at the back of Xi Fuwei leaving, thoughtful.

Sakura changed the hot tea for her and said, "Madam, this person didn't tell the truth. A few years after the Xi family settled in Dongchang Mansion, although Xi Fuguang was recognized as a seed of reading when he was alive, his connections were limited. Otherwise, how can people be ruined and their families will be ruined as soon as they leave? So what this Xi Fuwei said that she came to Jining from Dongchang Mansion with the help of Xi Fuxuan's old people before her death, may not be credible. ”

"Of course not." Mrs. Shang said, "Fang Cai's words have long hinted that this Xi Fuwei is the secret son of Jinyiwei. She was able to escape from Dongchang Mansion with her nephew, probably because of Jinyiwei's intervention! Her nephew never showed up, so he must have been held hostage by those eagle dogs! Or is she stupid? Jining is not very far from Dongchang Mansion, and my Zou family and the Wen family did not have any friendship before, but after the start of this project, according to the customary rules, everyone is a Shandong wang family, and they have to sit down to discuss things like rewards...... I can't tell you that one day I'll be moving. Can she rest assured that she will openly settle in our house? ”

Sakura was surprised: "Jinyiwei?!" ”

It's just fear, "such a person...... That can't keep her any longer! ”

"What's the panic?" Mrs. Shang took a sip of tea and said lightly, "If Jinyiwei plans to be our family, will he be gentle enough to send such a girl over to be a female gentleman?" ”

"But ma'am, those hawks are ruthless." Ying'er has been following her, and she has been in contact with many secrets that Zou Yiang can't know at this time, so she also knows a little about the situation that Zou Mansion is facing now, and bit her lip, "They only sent this Xi Fuwei to sneak into our mansion now, but I don't know if they will do anything when they turn back......"

Madame Shang interrupted her with a sigh: "So what? Are we going to kick Xi Fuwei out? But the master has not decided who to take refuge in until now, is it a smart way to rashly offend Jinyiwei? ”

Sakura was speechless.

Seeing this, Xing'er, the maid who had asked Xi Fuwei why she didn't care about her father's and brother's funeral, said: "Madam, I heard from the people below that Song Shangshu was in Dongchang Mansion recently. Now that Wen Xianyun can say that Miss Xu of the Dingguo Mansion and Song Shangshu's beloved daughter have come to support him, maybe they have also received Song Shangshu's tacit approval. In this case...... In our house, do you also have to think about it? ”

The canal, which began in the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, has been around for thousands of years, and although it has become so congested in recent years that it is impossible to bear the heavy responsibility of goods coming and going between the north and the south, it does not mean that the entire river has been blocked.

It's just that this section, including Shandong, is particularly blocked by the river, and some places have even disappeared completely, without the guidance of local old people, and they don't even know that this place used to be a riverbed, which can be regarded as completely cutting off the idea of boats going north.

That is to say, this time the imperial court wants to dredge the canal, and other rivers are really as long as they are dredged, this section of the river will be connected, which is a real big project.

Whether it is Song Li or the imperial court, the focus and attention are also placed here.

The importance of Shandong, or the impact on the canal owners of Dongchang and Yanzhou, can be imagined.

Now the Wen family is suspected of having a hot fight with the Song family, and they don't even know how to get on the Dingguo Mansion, and the Zou Mansion ...... Zou Fu is still groaning.

"......" When Mrs. Shang mentioned this question, Mrs. Shang also frowned, and after a while, she said, "I will tell the master about this question, the most important thing today is the old lady's birthday, we have been out for so long, it is time to go back." ”

stood up, thought about it and told the two maids, "Don't tell the outside world about Xi Fuwei first, and call her Mr. Shen in the future, just act as if nothing happened!" ”

Sakura and Xing'er agreed, Sakura thought about it, and said, "Madam, isn't Fang Cai a naughty son who tricked Mr. Shen into jumping into the lake?" Afterwards, the slave and maid looked very guilty when they saw their son? ”

"It's nothing." Mrs. Shang shook her head and said, "As far as the matter is concerned, although Xi Fuwei has other plans to enter the Zou Mansion, she also really wanted to save Yiang at that time, and this matter is indeed Yiang's mistake." When we are busy today, the punishment that should be punished and the thank you should be thanked will be done according to the rules of our family! ”

With a sigh, she took the lead and walked outside, "Let's go and see how the old lady is doing." Wen Xianyun is uneasy and kind, those two young ladies are noble, my Zou Mansion ......"

She paused here before continuing, "My Zou Mansion has not chosen so far, and my attitude towards them needs to be considered at this time. ”

Mrs. Shang's face was very solemn when she said this, but Wen Xianyun, who was stirring up trouble at this moment, couldn't feel much more relaxed!

In fact, Mrs. Shang told Xi Fuwei that Wen Xianyun openly asked the Zou family to ask for someone, which was to test Xi Fuwei's rhetoric.

Wen Xianyun is not a fool, he has no grievances with Zou Mansion, today's matter was ordered to come and take away Xi Fuwei, who was a female gentleman in Zou Mansion, what did he do to disturb the birthday banquet of Old Lady Zhuang, so that the entire Zou Mansion and the people close to Zou Mansion hate him?

Earlier, when Xi Fuxuan was not dead, he cared for the Xi family impeccably, not to mention the Zou family, which was enough to sit on an equal footing with the Wen family?

What's more, Xu Jingyuan and Song Jianiang want to deal with Xi Fuwei, in the final analysis, they are jealous of the wind.

But their identities can't be openly related to this kind of thing.

Therefore, when they explained to Wen Xianyun, they instructed that during the whole process, they could only give Wen Xianyun a limited degree and without causing everyone to talk about it.

It's impossible to end up in person at all costs.

In this case, the face of Zou Mansion is blatantly lost, and Zou Mansion will not easily give in in order to fight for breath in front of Yanzhou Mansion!

Helplessly, he thought about drinking the longevity wine first, and then asked the Zou family to ask for someone in private, but the people of the Zou family told him about making things difficult for Xi Fuwei and told the old lady Zhuang first!

This is not the point, the point is that Mrs. Zhuang's heart and liver, Zou Yiang was also there at the time, he was feeling sorry for Xi Fuwei, as soon as he heard this, he exploded, and he wanted to find trouble with Wen Xianyun at that time!

simply coaxed him left and right to talk nonsense, and forced him to stay in front of Mrs. Zhuang.

But not long after, Wen Xianyun came over to congratulate Mrs. Zhuang on her birthday, and Mrs. Zhuang said two polite words with a smile, and the baby grandson rushed out, and said the next person's proclamation, asking Wen Xianyun to give Zou Fu an explanation: "My female gentleman of Zou Mansion, the mentor of my sisters, can you also offend?!" What kind of place do you think of our Zou family!! ”

As soon as he said this, the face of the head of Yanzhou Mansion was not good-looking, at this time the local concept was very important, although Dongchang Mansion and Yanzhou Mansion were adjacent and bordered, but in front of a room of Yanzhou people, Wen Xianyun was a proper outsider.

An outsider runs on his own side of the territory and flirts with the female teacher of the local first-class family, isn't this a provocation? !

Almost instantly, everyone thought of the news of the imperial court, the dredging of the canal, the shuffle, and the seat of the first clan on the bank of the Huitong River!

"Although it is said that my fair lady and gentleman are good, but they should also be affectionate and polite." There's sex right now. The anxious person spoke, "The Dongchang Wen family is not a small family, Wen Gongzi, do you say this is the truth?" ”

"It was a misunderstanding." These words seem to be restrained, but they imply that the Wen family does not know the etiquette, even if Wen Xianyun didn't want to make a big deal about it, he couldn't watch the reputation of the Wen family be damaged at this time, his face sank slightly, and he arched his hand towards the old lady Zhuang, and said, "Actually, the female teacher in your mansion is the fiancée of the younger generation, the Xi family!" Something happened to the Xi family before, and the Xi aunt and nephew were rumored to have been buried in the fire, but the body was not found at all, and the younger generation has always been suspicious! I don't want to see her in your mansion today. Originally, I didn't want to disturb the old lady's birthday, but I planned to come back in two days to discuss the matter. I didn't think about it, but I was misunderstood by your son! ”

Old Madam Zhuang frowned and said, "Really? However, among the female husbands of my girls, there is no one with the surname Xi. And every female gentleman comes innocently, with a certificate and a guarantor. It's not that there are people with similar looks in this world, not to mention that since it's Wen Gongzi's fiancée, obviously they haven't gotten along day and night, maybe it's wrong, right? ”

The old lady said this, in fact, it was not that she wanted to protect Xi Fuwei without asking, but that the matter was shouted by Zou Yiang, and at this time, she followed Wen Xianyun's words, wouldn't it make Zou Yiang's actions become? Zou Yiang's identity in the Zou family is not under Wen Xianyun's identity in the Wen family, and even more so...... The heirs of the Wen family are prosperous, but they are not like the Zou family, which is only a single seedling.

Mrs. Zhuang loves her grandson so much, how can she be willing to talk about her grandson for Wen Xianyun?

What's more, Xi Fuwei has been a female gentleman in Zou Mansion for a while, if she falls into a reputation such as escaping marriage, will the several young ladies of the Zou family be very embarrassed?

"The old lady doesn't know that the reason why the younger generation is married to the Xi family is because the younger generation is in love with the Xi family's brother Xi Fuguang, and they were good friends with the family a few years ago." Wen Xianyun said, "At that time, the Xi family was still young, because the mother-in-law of the younger generation went early, and she personally took care of Xi Fuxuan's daily life, so when the younger generation went to the Xi family, they often met. Although they have never been married, they are also very familiar with each other, and they will definitely not admit their mistakes! ”

He said it categorically, but Mrs. Zhuang said lightly: "Really? It's just that if it's really your fiancée Xi, why did you come to Jining to come to our mansion? After all, the lintel of the Wen family is not under our mansion, and the son is the son of the Wen family, and your wife will be the mistress of the Wen family in the future! Who in the world would be stupid enough to let the housewife of a big family not do it, go to a similar family to be a female gentleman, and worry about a few little girls who haven't grown up all day long? ”

Most of the guests present echoed her words, saying that Wen Xianyun must have made a mistake.

Zou Yiang said again: "I haven't seen your fiancée here, who knows if what you said is true or false?" However, Mr. Shen is recognized as both talented and good-looking. ”

At this time, there are more people who suspect that Wen Xianyun is interested in seeing it, but when Zou Yiang said this, he was quietly pinched by Mrs. Zhuang, after all, Zou Yiang is still a child in the old lady's mind, but he has reached the age where he can talk about marriage.

Now he said that Xi Fuwei is both talented and beautiful, and because the people present are basically from Yanzhou Mansion, they are naturally helping the Zou family to speak.

But I may not think much in my heart, even if Zou Yiang helps a female gentleman speak like this, do you also think that this female gentleman is both talented and beautiful?

Mrs. Zhuang didn't want her grandson to get involved in some rumors of an affair.

"So be it." After the old lady pinched her grandson, she said, "The old man doesn't think that Wen Gongzi is like that kind of rude person, because he misses his fiancée too much, it is not impossible to admit his mistakes...... It's better to wait for the old body's birthday to pass, stay for a few days, and figure things out thoroughly, which can not only solve the confusion in Wen Gongzi's heart, but also avoid disturbing the Yaxing of the guests, how about it? ”

This was originally Wen Xianyun's plan, but after weighing it a little at this moment, he had to nod.

Xu Jingyuan, who didn't want to be a cold sidebrow all the time, suddenly said: "Old lady, in fact, this matter is very easy to solve, just call Mr. Shen over and confront him in the court, that's it!" After all, if you calculate your age, that is, a teenage girl, in front of you, can you still leak a drop of water? ”

When she said this, she saw that Mrs. Zhuang spoke out to defend Xi Fuwei, worried that after today's delay, what if the Zou Mansion would quietly send Xi Fuwei away after a while?

According to Song Li's request, she and Song Jianiang can only stay in Jining for one day, and they will leave tomorrow.

At that time, although it is still possible to remotely control Xi Fuwei, firstly, it is not happy enough to see this person in person, and secondly, Shen Stealing Lan is not a fuel-efficient lamp, and it is impossible to sit back and watch them move their own people.

So at this time, when I saw that everyone had the intention of calming things down, I couldn't help but speak in person, "When the time is clear, people up and down the province will speculate wildly, and the reputation of the Zou family of the Wen family will be ruined!" ”

No one spoke in the hall for a while, and they all looked at Mrs. Zhuang.

Old Madam Zhuang's face was very ugly, and she quietly glanced at the seat not far away...... That place was originally the seat of her daughter-in-law, Mrs. Shang, but she didn't know when it was empty.

The old lady knew that Mrs. Shang must have gone to ask Xi Fuwei first to understand, and she was somewhat relieved, she still trusted her daughter-in-law's ability, so she thought for a moment, squinted her eyes, and said lightly: "Miss Xu has said so, where can the old body disappoint you?" ”

When these words came out, the atmosphere in the whole hall became more and more depressing: the Wen family had already hugged the thighs of the Dingguo Mansion and the Ministry of Industry, and it seemed that the thighs were particularly strong, so that even the private affairs of the Wen family were hard to let the concubine go out in person...... No, maybe it's not a private matter, maybe this is the reason why the Wen family wants to start a war with the Zou family?

In this section of the Huitong River in Shandong, the two big clans divide up, where is there a single family to be happy?

…… It was in such an atmosphere that Xi Fuwei stepped into the lobby.
