Text Chapter Seventy-Four
β¦β¦ On this day, when Xi Fuwei returned to Zou Mansion, it was almost curfew, and the downstairs of Fenzhi Building was quietly empty, but there were noisy people talking upstairs.
After she went up, she saw that the room opposite was brightly lit, and the door was half open, revealing a little color of the corners of her clothes and the outline of her side face, which was Yao Zhuosu's maid Huang Su.
"Sir is back?" Xi Fuwei's room was also lit, but it was a small one, and Lu Sha was lit up to do needlework, and when she came in, she hurriedly got up to greet her, "Have you eaten?" The slave asked the kitchenette to leave you food. β
Today, she originally followed Xi Fuwei to Qinglian Restaurant, but then Xi Fuwei and Shen Shulan left early, and she couldn't listen to what she wanted to say, so she threw the person to Fu Suixian, so she followed Fu Suixian to come back first.
"Just get some porridge." Shen Thief Lan didn't expect to keep his subordinates to eat, and Yu Kedi was also in a hurry to discuss business with him, so Xi Fuwei came back so late, but he drank two sips of tea, even if he was full of worries, he was hungry, nodded when he heard the words, and said, "I have wronged you...... After I left with my brother, was there anything else going on in the restaurant? β
Lu Sha went down and brought her food, waited for her to use it, and then said: "After you left with Shen Gongzi, that Wen Gongzi stayed and waited until the banquet was over, and Zeng Gongzi was very flattering to him in the middle." β
His voice was low, and he glanced at the other side before he whispered, "I don't know if it's because of this, Mr. Fu...... I also praised him a few times. Later, when the wine order was issued, Zeng Gongzi and Sun Gongzi had some disputes, and when Mr. Fu mediated, Zeng Gongzi said a few words, and almost cried on the spot! It was still Wen Gongzi who came forward and asked Zeng Gongzi to make amends to Mr. Fu. β
Xi Fuwei frowned when she heard this, and said in her heart that Wen Xianyun was unprofitable and couldn't afford to be early, so she gave Fu Xuanxian face, but I was afraid that there was some problem.
Just as he was thinking about it, he heard Lu Sha say, "And Miss Yao's side, is it okay for the slave to accompany you." β
"What?" Xi Fuwei asked.
"It's the dress I brought to Qinglian Restaurant to change today, and when Miss Yao was upset, she took the wrong skirt for you." Lu Sha explained, "This is also because the slave maid is not careful, and she didn't notice that the dress that Miss Yao brought today was cut from the same piece of fabric. By the time Huang Su saw it, Miss Yao had already put it on. I was going to tell you in the restaurant, but I didn't expect that when they went back to the banquet, you had already taken a step ahead of Shen Gongzi. No, after they came back, they came up and told the slave and maid what had happened, please don't be surprised, wait for Huang Su to wash the skirt and then send it over. β
Xi Fuwei said: "What am I talking about, it's just a skirt, on a cold day, how can I say that the upper body has to be washed after wearing it?" Wait a minute, let's see if Sister Yao is sleeping there? If you haven't slept out, just take it back. β
Lu Sha smiled and said, "I haven't slept, I'm talking to Mr. Fu!" β
"Really?" Xi Fuwei's hand paused and said, "I'll go over and take a look later, after all, I've swept Sister Fu's face today, but I have to accompany her." β
After a while, she finished her meal and was rinsing her mouth with a tea bowl, when Fu Suixian sent Yao Zhuosu down.
Because Yao Zhuosu was out of shape in the restaurant today, Xi Fuwei was worried that she would be embarrassed to see her after she went out, so she didn't make a sound after thinking about it, but came up alone after Fu Qiuxian sent Yao Zhuosu back to the room, and then walked out to greet her: "Sister Fu!" β
"Are you back?" Fu Suixian nodded at her, and did not mean to change her attitude because Wen Xianyun tore her true identity in public, but still came up and grabbed her arm affectionately, and said, "I'm thinking of you!" β
"Something happened, so I came back late." Xi Fuwei said vaguely and said, "I was about to find my sister to confess, and please don't blame my sister for disturbing your interest today." "Said blessed.
"What is this?" Fu Qiuxian grabbed her and said, "What kind of affection do our sisters have, can those people outside compare?" I have never hidden my thoughts from you, I just want to marry someone from a wealthy family. So in front of them, today is also a wronged sister! Not for this reason, but they can compare with you? β
He also said, "Today's matter, in the final analysis, is the same as what you said, it is that Wen Xianyun is rude, and Zeng Gongzi is only afraid that he will not be so innocent." If you want to say that you are innocent, you should count the few of us, get together well, make a mess, and almost hurt the harmony between our sisters! β
Although she knew that she might not be sincere, Xi Fuwei was still moved and said, "I'm really afraid that my sister will annoy me from now on and ignore me in the future!" β
"How is that possible?" Fu Qixian pulled her to the door of the house, entered her door, sat down at the round table with Huanghuali inlaid with marble carved landscape figures, watched Lu Sha pour tea, and motioned for her and Hongzhi to retreat first, and then said in a low voice, "I'm thinking, please help me with my staff!" How could it be possible to ignore you? β
Xi Fuwei hurriedly asked, "What is the staff officer?" β
"What else could it be?" Fu Xuanxian sighed, "Hasn't Lu Sha told you yet?" Today, after you and Shen Gongzi left, the surname Zeng and the surname Sun quarreled...... The surnamed Zeng didn't know what was crazy, and he was going to force me to make a choice on the spot, if I had a treat in the future, I would invite the surnamed Sun again, and he would break off with me! β
Xi Fuwei said: "Is this person afraid that my sister won't want him?" But honestly, I think that Zeng Gongzi sex. Zi is a little anxious, not as stable and generous as Sun Gongzi. β
This is true, but it is not because of the relationship between Zeng Gongzi and Wen Xianyun that he stepped on him.
"How could I not have known that this surname Zeng has a bad temper and a small heart?" However, Xi Fuwei doesn't know these two so well after all, but Fu Suixian, who is interested in choosing a husband from them, knows it in her heart, "In contrast, although Sun Gongzi is fat, in fact, his temperament and personality are full of atmosphere...... But you don't know, Sun Gongzi's family is not so easy to get along with! β
Xi Fuwei said: "I heard that he is an only son? β
In these years, girls do not have the right to inherit the family business, and an only son means that there is no one to fight for the family property, which should be a good thing, right?
"Not only is he an only son, but he also has a widowed mother at home!" Fu Suixian said, "On the birthday of the old lady that day, I had a few words with other people, and they all said that this surnamed Sun is indeed not a bad person, but the problem is that he is very filial to his widowed mother!" If his widowed mother is sensible and reasonable, she should be filial to her after being a daughter-in-law! The problem is his widowed mother, how do I listen to it and think something is wrong...... What do you want this grandson to come to the restaurant for a banquet? said that his widowed mother said that if you marry a wife, you must marry a small family, so that you can be well-behaved and sensible, and you don't dare to talk back and dare not mess around! Normal people, who doesn't want their daughter-in-law to be the right person? When his widowed mother said such a thing, what else could he think? β
Naturally, Tu's daughter-in-law came from a humble background, far inferior to her own family, and she could handle it at will.
Fu Suixian was so annoyed: "The surname Sun himself should have some sincere love for me, but my father is gone, and no one in the family can support me." If you really enter the door of the Sun family, I'm afraid it won't be a good day! β
She tried her best to marry into a rich and noble family, and the picture was to enjoy the slaves and maids in brocade clothes, but not to be a trembling and cautious little daughter-in-law.
As for Zeng Gongzi, although he is as Xi Fuwei said, he is stingy, but Fu Suixian said, "He seems to be difficult to speak, but in fact, as long as he is coaxed, he is a good person." It's too tiring to live like this! β
Xi Fuwei asked with interest: "How is his family?" β
"It's just an ordinary family." Fu Suixian said, "I have parents and sisters, and I also have brothers, but he is the eldest son, and the family business of their family is the only one owned by the eldest son, and the others can only take some fur." β
He also said, "He has a little twisted temper, and he is not very compatible with his family, even his parents." β
At this point, for some people, they are not good at character and not filial enough, but for some people, such as Fu Suixian, it means that after getting married, it is good to coax Zeng Gongzi to one, and there is no need to even his family to please him.
"If my sister is not very satisfied with these two people, why don't you wait?" Xi Fuwei thought for a while, and said, "Anyway, it's the end of the year now, and when the spring starts next year, there will definitely be a lot of feasts and drinks in terms of the status of Zou Mansion." If the river has already started by then, there will be more things to eat and drink! When the time comes, I will see more young talents, maybe there will be a better one? β
Fu Qiuxian bit his lip, and after a long while, he said, "What you said also makes sense!" β
She didn't talk about her marriage anymore, but asked Xi Fuwei, "By the way, you don't seem to like that Wen Gongzi very much?" β
"The first time he met me, he came up and shouted 'Weiwei' for some reason." Xi Fuwei raised her eyebrows and asked rhetorically, "I still want to do it, you have seen the situation today, no matter how I explain it and how I find witnesses, it will be as if he has identified me as Xi Fuwei...... How can I not hate him, you say? β
Fu Suixian said: "It's the same...... But I'm really curious, if that Miss Xi is still alive, what should I do to give up a fiancΓ© like Wen Gongzi? After all, in terms of talent, appearance, net worth and temper, I don't think Wen Gongzi seems to have anything to be picky about? β
As soon as she finished speaking, she noticed that Xi Fuwei glanced at herself with a smile.
"Miss Na Xi is said to have been in charge of the family since she was a child." Xi Fuwei knew that she was turning a corner to probe the grievances between Wen Xianyun and the Xi family, and there was nothing to hide about this, and even if she could, Xi Fuwei wished that the whole world knew about the dirty things that the Dongchang Wen family had done, and said at the moment, "Would you do such a thing for no reason?" The whereabouts of the father and brother and the nephew are unknown before the bones are cold, what else can it be but to flee for their lives? β
Fu Suixian was surprised: "Running for your life? Why run for your life? Are you saying that Wen Gongzi is not good for the Xi family? How is this possible? It is said that this family affair was concluded by the Wen family who took the initiative to come to the door to beg, which shows the importance of the Xi family! β
"But Xi Fuguang died of illness!" Xi Fuwei glanced at her deeply, "The Xi family's family background is like that, and the Wen family is not the right family at all, the reason why the Wen family can take a look at it is not because of a well-known reading seed?" It's a pity that the reading seed is gone, so let the son of the Wen family continue to marry the daughter of the Xi family, how can the Wen family be willing? If you regret the marriage, this family affair was decided by them in a big way, and they moved around a lot in the middle...... Because the brother of the other family does not admit the account when he is gone, he usually forgets it, when is it now? The opening of the river is imminent, who knows if someone will find a court official to sue him and lose the status of the canal family? β
The latter words were only realized after Wen Xianyun talked to Xi Fuwei in private last time.
If it weren't for the imperial court to open the river, I am afraid that the Wen family may not do something to destroy the in-laws, after all, with the power of the Wen family in Dongchang Mansion, there is a way to settle the matter of repentance and marriage.
Let them do such a poisonous hand, eighty percent of them have the power or threat that they know they can't fight, so they take risks.
Of course, judging from Shen Weilan's ominous disclosure, the people and things involved in this are ...... I'm afraid that the root is still in the distant Yingtianfu.
It was a place where Xi Fuwei had never even been to yet, let alone meddling.
