"Mr. Shen just came to Zou Mansion, he is not familiar with the path, and he got lost over there, I happened to pass by, so I took a section with me." Xi Fuwei was about to answer, but Ouyang Yuanshui had already smiled at the maid who was passing the word, and said, "Sister Ying'er, why are you running errands in person today?" ”

The maid seemed to be very familiar with him, and when she heard the words, she glanced at him without smiling, and said, "This is really strange! I'm Madame's maid, shouldn't I be supposed to run errands? What else is there not in person? ”

Ouyang Yuanshui salivated and said: "The north wind has risen this day, Sister Ying'er's delicate and delicate face, it is blowing red at this time, it makes me really distressed!" ”

Hearing this, Ying'er hurriedly touched her face, probably thinking of Xi Fuwei's presence, so she glanced at Ouyang Yuanshui: "You are a person!" If you tell me these nonsense so indecently, I will tell Madame carefully! ”

Returning to a respectful and detached posture, "Mr. Shen, Mrs. is waiting, let's hurry over!" ”

Xi Fuwei squinted at Ouyang Yuanshui, and saw that this person was eyebrow-raising with that cherry, and she didn't forget to take the time to glance at herself with affection, and she was speechless for a while: she heard that Zou Yiang had brushed away the gentleman who was specially invited to him at home, and thought that he was an old-fashioned and strict gentleman.

This kind of person would actually have an argument with a student because he urged Zou Yiang to study?

I always feel that he may wish that Zou Yiang would not go to school all day long, so as not to hinder him from hooking up with the maids, right?

…… Sakura took Xi Fuwei to turn left and right, but instead of going to the courtyard where the banquet was being held, she went to a secluded courtyard that she didn't usually use.

The tables, chairs, and tea sets in this place were obviously just cleaned, and a little further away were still full of dust.

It's just that Mrs. Shang, who has always loved cleanliness, has no time to pay attention to it at the moment, and the originally hot tea in her hand has already revealed a little coolness, but she has not moved at all.

Seeing Xi Fuwei coming in, she breathed a sigh of relief and pointed to the seat in front of her: "Sit down and talk!" ”

Then he asked, "Who are you?" ”

Xi Fuwei was about to speak, but she said again, "I'll answer after thinking about it...... Wen Xianyun is now in front of the old lady to ask for someone. ”

"......" Xi Fuwei was silent for a moment and looked left and right.

Madame Shang understood what she meant, but shook her head and said, "First, these are my henchmen, and there is nothing that cannot be heard; Secondly...... I heard that you were in the garden before, and you fought with Wen Xianyun for a while before you fell into trouble, otherwise you wouldn't have been able to support Mr. Ouyang to come forward to stir up the situation? ”

This is a clear distrust of her, lest she will rely on force to her advantage.

Xi Fuwei thought about it quickly, pursed her lips and said, "I am indeed the daughter of the Xi family, and my maiden name is Fuwei." ”

Before the words fell, Sakura and the other attendants all exclaimed in a low voice. The anxious maid rushed and said, "Then you really ran out regardless of what happened to your father and brother?" ”

"We also know a little bit about the Xi family." When Mrs. Shang heard this, her expression was flat, and she said, "After all, the reputation of Xi Fuming's reading seeds is very loud, and Jining is not very far from Dongchang Mansion, so I have heard of it somewhat." It is said that Miss Xi lost her mother since she was a child, and she began to help Ling Zun with the family business at the age of six or seven? ”

Seeing Xi Fuwei nodded, she sighed, "Such a girl, no matter how much filial piety she has to her father and brother, is definitely not stupid enough to understand the consequences of throwing everything incognito and absconding after her father and brother are gone, once discovered!" You're going to have to get out of the way, and it seems like something is forcing you to do it? ”

"My brother went very strangely." Xi Fuwei smiled bitterly, "Although he caught a cold in the autumn test and fell ill when he came back, after a few days of recuperation, it is said that he should be much better." But on the day the good news came, the people were suddenly gone...... It just so happened that my father and I were not present, and I questioned his attendants, but found nothing. ”

"After that, my father was deceived and almost bankrupt and bought half a street of property, but because of the news that the imperial court wanted to dredge the canal, it was worthless!"

"And that half of the street was sold to my father by the Wen family."

"I followed the family inexplicably out of the water, and my father was gone!"

"So that's left for me and my nephew to depend on each other, I have a lot of doubts in my heart, but there is no one to say, there is nowhere to say, think about it, simply pack up a little soft, and take my nephew away!"

"After all, if my nephew has a three-long and two-short...... My Xi family is completely gone! ”

"Then you can find someone to take your nephew away." The maid who scolded her just now couldn't help but say, "Why should you stay and finish your father's and brother's funeral, and finish the first seven?" Otherwise, how can your father and brother be at peace under the nine springs? ”

Xi Fuwei looked at her: "My nephew is so young, I am a deep girl, where can I ask for help from someone who can entrust such a heavy responsibility?" As the saying goes, unfilial piety is the greatest, in the case of my father and brother are gone, if I can't protect my nephew, this is what makes my father and brother not be at peace under Jiuquan, right? ”

The maid said: "Then you can arrange your nephew in Yanzhou, and then go back to your father and brother to keep filial piety!" What is the name of Mr. Shen when you entered the mansion, and your nephew didn't bring it with you at all! During this time, I didn't say that I went out twice in three days, so it can be seen that your nephew's current situation doesn't need you to think about it all the time, but you didn't go back to see your father and brother, but entered the Zou Mansion as a female gentleman...... Don't you feel guilty about doing this? ”

"I really don't think so." Xi Fuwei said indifferently, "My nephew really doesn't need me to think about it all the time now, but he can have his current situation because of my aunt." If I have three longs and two shorts, as the so-called people go to tea and cool, do you think the person who is currently taking care of him will continue to treat him like this?! ”

She sneered, "If my brother is still here, I will definitely be doing a good job as Miss Xi in Dongchang Mansion at this time, but why should I pretend to be someone else's name and hide in this Zou Mansion?" ”

Mrs. Shang waved her hand to stop what the maid was still about to say, and said, "You also said just now, you are just a deep boudoir woman, and there is not even a person who can make you feel at ease to hand over your nephew to him to help take him away from Dongchang Mansion." Case...... But how did you take your nephew from Dongchang Mansion into Yanzhou, and you deceived me by pretending to be an identity and entered Zou Mansion? ”

Xi Fuwei's mind was racing, and she said tentatively: "The Wen family is the dominant family in Dongchang Mansion, but my brother was still a little famous when he was alive. Some old people didn't dare to offend the Wen family directly for the sake of the family, but they had some sympathy for our aunt and nephew in private. ”

"That brother Ling is really well-traveled." Mrs. Shang nodded, her tone couldn't tell whether it was sarcasm or praise, but she didn't get to the bottom of it, and said, "Just now, Wen Xianyun went to the old lady, and took advantage of the birthday to say your identity, what he means is that he has a deep affection for you, no matter what you didn't give your father and brother filial piety for, or even have the intention of regretting marriage, he wants you to go back to be the young lady of the Wen family." Originally, because of the old lady's birthday today, we planned to suppress this matter and discuss it later. But Miss Xu became interested in Miss Song and sent a message, wanting to find out on the spot...... I listened to Miss Xu's meaning, and it was clearly biased towards Wen Xianyun. ”

She raised her eyebrows, "Before, these two coquettish guests said that they were going to come to Zou Mansion to eat, and the old lady and I were very strange. Now it seems, where are people coming to eat and drink? It's clear that he got the benefits of the Wen family, and came to support Wen Xianyun! ”

Seeing that Xi Fuwei didn't speak, she said again, "Although I don't know how the Wen family impressed these two coquettish guests, you should know that the Zou Mansion can afford to offend the Wen family, but it can't afford to offend those two!" ”

Xi Fuwei sighed and said, "I know. ”

She thought that Mrs. Shang was going to take her to Mrs. Zhuang to resign herself to fate, but Mrs. Shang still sat still, and said lightly: "But although the Zou Mansion doesn't mind giving those two young ladies a face, this face doesn't want to be given to the Wen family." ”

"......" Xi Fuwei squinted her eyes, thought about it quickly, and suddenly understood: the canal is in the Shandong Mansions, and it only passes through Yanzhou Mansion and Dongchang Mansion.

As the leading families of these two prefectures, the Wen family and the Zou family actually relied on the canal to develop their ancestors.

After the canal was blocked over the years, it was difficult not to compete with each other now that the imperial court was going to re-dredge, so that the communication between them was more convenient.

It's not just competition, because the dredging of the canal is just a meaning of the imperial court, and it has not yet been implemented, and in the process of implementation, it is an opportunity for people along the river to reshuffle.

Both are big families in Shandong, and the current relationship between the Zou family and the Wen family, not to mention that it is imminent, it will definitely not be too harmonious: after all, in this section of the canal in Shandong, the two of them are the most powerful.

This kind of thing is evenly matched, and it will only exist after many fights to confirm that there is really no other party to help.

Now Wen Xianyun came to Zou Mansion to be a dignitary, not only in front of the guests on Mrs. Zhuang's birthday, but also with the help of Xu Jingyuan and Song Jianiang, in Wen Xianyun, no, it should be said that in the eyes of Xu Jingyuan and Song Jianiang, it may be that just for a female gentleman, he must be nine out of ten, and there is no problem.

But in the eyes of Zou Mansion, Xi Fuwei is not the point, the point is that if Wen Xianyun is just let Xi Fuwei take away, then in the future, people will talk about it, it will be the day when the old lady of the Wen family is on the birthday of the old lady of Zou Mansion, and he will take away the female gentleman.

No matter how you think about it, Zou Fu lost a game.

This is simply the ambition of the wolf son of the Wen family, in a vain attempt to overwhelm the Zou family and be the first family of the canal in Shandong!

This is something that Zou Mansion will never allow!

Thinking about this section, Xi Fuwei breathed a sigh of relief imperceptibly, and said contemplatively: "Wen Xianyun keeps saying that I am his fiancée, but there is no basis for what I say!" When I first lived in the boudoir, no one knew me at all. What's more, even if someone has seen me occasionally, the world is so big, and there are more people who look like me! Why do you say that I have something to do with him and want to go with him? ”

Mrs. Shang said: "He said that there are your servants to testify. ”

"Even if it turns out to be indeed a servant of my Xi family, since I can stand up and testify for him, who knows if I have received benefits from him?" Xi Fuwei shook her head and said, "My family has no one except for a nephew, so don't be afraid of the words of the mere people!" ”

She groaned, "It's over there in Jinan Mansion...... My fake Miss Shen family, although she is an only child and her parents are dead, but it is said that there are many people? ”

Mrs. Shang's face sank like water, and she said, "If Wen Xianyun inquired about your current identity before he came, then it is likely that he has already found a witness from the Shen family!" ”

“…… Although there are many members of the Shen family, the real Miss Shen is a girl who has not been out of the cabinet after all. Xi Fuwei was silent for a while, and said, "I think there will not be many people in the Shen family who have really seen her, especially those who have deep contact with her!" ”

"In that case......

She narrowed her eyes and said coldly, "Let these witnesses not be able to reach Jining alive, isn't it done?!" ”
