"If you go back to your words, that's right." Xi Fuwei pursed her lips and said, "A few years ago, when my subordinate brother was still there, my subordinate also beat my brother in the study. At that time, his subordinates were young and lazy, and they didn't want to run around looking for classics, so they memorized all the classics commonly used by their brothers. These days, adults have to check the books, and when their subordinates think of the past, they are lazy again, and please don't blame them. ”

How could Shen Steal Lan be blamed?

He looked at the girl with some surprise: "You are talented...... It's a shame not to be a man. ”

"I used to regret when I saw my brother studying too hard in the cold window, if I were a man, I could share his worries somewhat." Xi Fuwei sorted out the four treasures of the study room and said, "Because I am a girl, if I want to glorify my ancestors, he can only work hard." However, when my father was there, he said that it was okay to be a son and a daughter, otherwise the two sons were immersed in their studies all day long, and no one helped him share the family's affairs. ”

Of course, this is a scene, if you can choose, Xi Fuwei would rather be a man.

After all, in this era, there are too many restrictions for girls.

"There are many talented women who have been famous for future generations throughout the ages." Shen Weilan understood this truth, bowed her head slightly, and said, "The talents of many talented women are actually not below the first-class talents at that time, and they are enough to embarrass most scholars. ”

Xi Fuwei only smiled at this: "The problem is that most talented women are born in Goulan. ”

"......" Shen Weilan was a little crying and laughing because of this, and the hand that was reviewing the official document paused before saying, "Yong Xu is talented, but she is talking about a famous lady." ”

Seeing that Xi Fuwei was smiling and silent, he asked, "Listening to your tone, you seem to be a little disdainful of 'talented girls'?" Then why do you still have to study your homework? Even if it's to take care of the family business, it's almost the same to be able to read the account book, right? ”

According to his estimates, Xi Fuwei's talent is of course far from a serious lifter, after all, girls can't take the imperial examination, and it's useless for her to study so carefully.

But Xiucai is more than enough.

This is not a result that can be achieved by learning casually, and it must have taken a lot of time and energy.

And although Xi Fuwei is not from a poor background, she is not the kind of eldest lady who can spend her days wandering around, she has been a family since she was a child, and her time is limited.

This also makes the homework not bad, obviously either for a purpose or genuinely loved.

"The adults laughed, the subordinates did not disdain the 'talented women', but felt that the imperial court did not use women as officials for a day, even if our girls' families were extremely talented and full of poetry and books, in the end it was useless, it was a pity." Xi Fuwei sorted out the corner of the bookcase, picked up the ink strip and studied the ink, and said lightly, "As for the subordinates who obviously think that learning these things are useless but still insist, in the final analysis, it is only because my father and brother were here before, and they have a marriage contract with the Wen family." I want to talk to my brother all the time, and I want not to lose my father's reputation in front of the Wen family, that's it. ”

Shen Weilan said: "You say that there is no place for it, but this may not be. Not to mention that you were able to enter Zou Mansion as a female gentleman before, mainly because you have real talent and learning. It is said that girls always have to get married, the so-called Wang Hua comes from the boudoir, and the family profit begins with the privet. A girl like you, who is both talented and good-looking, will the children she will raise in the future be comparable to a village girl who can't read a single word? ”

Xi Fuwei said with a smile: "My lord, speaking of which, we girls are full of learning, and in the final analysis, we can only go around in the boudoir, but you men can scold Fang Xuan in the court, this gap is too big." If you don't think about it, you might be able to enjoy yourself. But once I thought about it, there was only a variety of flavors. ”

"It's utilitarian." Shen Steallan said, "If you are full of poetry and books, do you have to be an official and have great power?" Don't you see that the masters of the past and present, most of them are intoxicated with the mountains and rivers, that is, the Son of Heaven has repeatedly recruited, and there are also those who do not accept it? ”

"My lord, what do you say about the shortcut to the south?" Xi Fuwei raised her eyebrows and said, "There are few real Masters, and his subordinates are just laymen." ”

Shen Weilan laughed when she said this, and said, "Everyone is a layman, otherwise, why are they here?" ”

If he was like those masters who were fascinated by mountains and rivers, not to mention whether the Shen family would go crazy, he would not be here to run for the emperor's life in the first place.

"Ling Zun is very good at raising children." After reviewing the last official document, he put down Zihao, took the handkerchief handed by Xi Fuwei and wiped his hands, took a sip of the tea in front of him, and said, "Brother Ling's name, I heard about it when I first entered Shandong, although I have never met him before his death, I think he is also a romantic person." As for you, you didn't really care much at first, but now you look at it, you are also a maverick, not comparable to ordinary people. ”

Xi Fuwei smiled and said: "It's just forced by life, it's good if adults don't laugh at their subordinates for not being virtuous and virtuous." ”

Shen Steallan had a good time talking, and shook her head when she heard this: "A virtuous and virtuous woman is naturally good, but to be honest, no matter whether you are virtuous or stupid, as long as you are willing, it is not easy to think of virtuous and virtuous women?" but there are few intelligent people, both men and women. ”

He fell in love with talent, pondered for a moment, and said, "If you are not in a hurry to get out of the cabinet, you can respond to Tianfu with me after this matter is resolved in the future." ”

Seeing Xi Fuwei's surprised expression, he explained, "In addition to the eldest grandson of the emperor, the crown princess also has two sons and a daughter, and she is very willing to find a female official with both talent and virtue to teach the emperor's grandson and the county lord." ”

He also said, "The crown princess has a soft temperament and has always been generous. ”

"The adults are kind, and the subordinates are inscribed." Xi Fuwei basically agreed without much hesitation, after all, she was really not in a hurry to get out of the cabinet, and this kind of opportunity to hug the crown princess's thigh was not available at any time.

Even if Shen Weilan does not recommend the more promising side of the emperor's eldest grandson, as long as it is the biological flesh and blood of the crown princess, whether it is the emperor's grandson or the county lord, they are all siblings of the emperor's eldest grandson, and they are still young now, so it is easy to raise. coaxed the little ancestor, even if Xi Jiaowen does not succeed in the future, the life of the aunt and nephew will definitely be stable.

As for the status of the crown prince, although it is still quite stable at present, and it looks more and more stable, but Emperor Yongle is in full bloom after all, and it is unknown what the future will be.

Xi Fuwei doesn't matter.

After all, she has been doing things under Shen Thief Lan for so long, even if Shen Thief Lan is a Jinyi Guard, it is said that he belongs to Emperor Yongle, and with his relationship with the crown princess, he must be placed on the side of the prince by King Han and King Zhao. Even if she doesn't accept Shen Steallan's recommendation, will King Han and King Zhao let her go when they gain power in the future?

"Song Shangshu has already arrived at the dock, and he plans to go to Wenshui as soon as possible to investigate on the spot." In the next few days, after Shen Steallan finished her work, she would discuss some poems, books and scriptures with Xi Fuwei, and she appreciated this girl's talent and agility more and more, and her attitude became more and more gentle, not to mention, and there were also a lot of pointers in her words, about Ying Tianfu, East Palace, etc.

Xi Fuwei studied very seriously, after all, Xi Jiao is so big, she can't see how it will be in the future, and she is not the kind of person who thinks that since there is still a nephew, then the revitalization of the courtyard should be a nephew.

got along like this, although the conversation between the two still adhered to the superiors and subordinates, they had a lot more tacit understanding.

Yu Kedi and the others were busy going around, but they didn't notice it for a while.

On this day, Xi Fuwei got up in the morning, and after packing up, she went into the study, but saw that Shen Steallan's desk was no longer a foot-tall official document, but she changed into a new official robe, and said to her, "I have to go over to meet him, you go with me." ”

Xi Fuwei was a little surprised, although the relationship between the two has become much closer because of the exchanges in the past few days. But Shen Weilan is not the kind of person who will mix his personal feelings into his work, he used to shout at Yu Ke Enemy or other lieutenants when he went out, and he never brought her with him, especially Song Li.

This is the person who almost became Shen Baolan's father-in-law.

Shen Thief Blue Belt was used by Song Jianiang as a rival girl, isn't it embarrassing?

"This is Song Shangshu's request, and it has something to do with Miss Song's marriage." Shen Weilan said, "But it shouldn't be a bad thing. ”

Xi Fuwei was startled when she heard that Song Li wanted to see her, and only relaxed a little when she heard the latter sentence, and originally wanted to knock on the side to knock on the news, but Shen Shulan said: "I don't know very well, but I just speculated from the tone of Song Shangshu's letter and others." ”

"......" Xi Fuwei's heart suddenly brought it up a little bit again, and then thought that he didn't go alone, Shen Steallan also passed, if Song Li wanted to be strong, Shen Steallan should not sit idly by, so he calmed down a little.

The small courtyard is not far from the dock, and now that the snow has not melted, Song Li is not very urging, so Shen Thief Lan decided to walk over.

This decision made Xi Fuwei happy, but also decided that she must find an opportunity to practice her riding skills next.

After all, during this period of time, they were all fast horses galloping in and out of the enemy.

At this time, Shen Stealing Lan chose to walk, and Bacheng was still to take care of her...... The two of them are superiors and subordinates, if they don't walk, they can't ride a horse and hire a sedan chair for Xi Fuwei to follow behind, right? It is also not appropriate for both to travel in a carriage or a sedan chair.

She made all the plans for the next step in her heart, and before she knew it, she had arrived at the dock.

This side of the wharf is very deserted, not only because of the season and the season, but also because the carrying capacity of the Huitong River is limited, and many places are even congested in this season.

Song Li came by boat, and Bacheng was still to observe the hydrology along the way.

"Song Shangshu let you in." The two arrived at Song Li's boat and exchanged pleasantries a little...... The main thing is that Shen Weilan greeted Song Li, and in the end, he waved away the secret conversation left and right.

The secret conversation was not very long, and there were only two tea times before and after, Shen Weilan came out of the cabin and said to Xi Fuwei, who was holding her cheeks and watching the snow scene, "I'm waiting for you outside, you can go." ”
