Chapter 159: Out of the Cabinet
Before, Fu Qiuxian took advantage of Zou Mansion to congratulate Mrs. Zhuang on her birthday, and after she caught up with Zeng Gongzi and Sun Gongzi, she once let Xi Fuwei meet these two.
It's just that after years of tossing, Xi Fuwei has long forgotten these two people to the clouds.
So when she first saw the daughters of the Sun family's Zeng family, she didn't react.
It was these two who took the initiative to euphemistically mention that they compensated her on behalf of Sun Gongzi and Zeng Gongzi, and Xi Fuwei was reminded.
Of course, she didn't care about these trivial matters.
didn't even mention Fu Xuanxian.
Because since Shen Weilan said that Fu Suixian's hope of marrying into a rich family has been disappointed, at this time, Xi Fuwei mentioned that any of these two families chose this daughter-in-law, it must be for her, no, to be precise, it is for Song Li's face.
As a righteous daughter who was recognized by coincidence, Xi Fuwei didn't feel that she had this weight, and she could take care of this kind of thing for her father-in-law without authorization.
What's more, her relationship with Fu Suixian is like that.
It was the daughter of the Zeng family who tentatively mentioned Fu Suixian.
But seeing that Xi Fuwei's reaction was flat and did not mean very intimacy, she stopped talking with interest.
Although this year is busy, Xi Fuwei has not received substantial benefits.
Not to mention the love that fell in front of Song Li, the people who came to pay New Year's greetings heard that it was the young lady who helped Zhang Luo, and they all prepared a separate gift for her, probably a clothing hairpin ring or something.
Song Li said that since these were specially given to Xi Fuwei, let her take them, and she should be the heart of her father-in-law.
However, Xi Fuwei still used the excuse that she was in filial piety, and a lot of bright jewelry and clothes were not used, so she packed a few boxes and sent them to the Song family to Mrs. Song.
When it was time for the beginning of spring, the return gift of Mrs. Song also arrived, which was some food and clothing from Ying Tianfu, as well as the four treasures of the study room specially for Xi Jiao.
They are all specially selected and suitable for the Xi family's aunts and nephews to use here.
At this time, Xi Fuwei had already returned to Dongchang Mansion with her nephew, and after inspecting it, she picked out some things that were not easy to break and sent them to Song Li.
Song Li's henchmen laughed: "The fate between people is also difficult to say, when Mrs. heard that she wanted to recognize Miss Xi as a righteous daughter, she still gritted her teeth!" As a result, he took the initiative to send something to Miss Xi at this time, but he still didn't even have a share of you, Master, and Miss Xi had to think about it. β
"So it's a pity that this child is a daughter." Song Li sighed, "If it were a man, I would not be accepted as a righteous girl, but as a disciple." β
I remembered the past and said that the Wen family really deserved to be killed.
Because Xi Fuwei thought of Xi Fuguang that he had never seen, this was known as the most outstanding reading seed in Dongchang Mansion in recent years, although Song Li had not seen it in person, but judging from Xi Fuwei's acting talents, Xi Fuguang must be even better.
Such a talent has just been lifted, and he died young.
If it is a short life, it is helpless, but it was killed by someone, in Song Li's view, it is tantamount to the loss of the dynasty.
Originally, the Wen family took the initiative and had a correct attitude, Wen Xianyun's ruthlessness was also in line with Song Li's needs at that time, and he was still very satisfied with this family, and he intended to be a henchman, but after appreciating Xi Fuwei, he couldn't help but think that if the Xi family didn't have a broken family, what kind of achievements would Xi Fuguang have?
No matter how easy it is to use the family, for Song Li, in the end, he is just a businessman, not on the stage.
And Xi Fuguang is a scholar, young and talented.
According to Song Li's deep-rooted concept of Shinong industry and commerce, it is really not wronged at all that the Wen family is full of beheadings.
"The Wen family has been ambushed." The henchman knew his mood, and persuaded him gently, "What's more, the Xi family still has a bloodline, and the old man personally took the school to test the little son of the Xi family, isn't the little boy fluent in answers?" Although I was a little scared at the time, I was young and not high-born, so it was normal to not be generous enough. β
Song Li thought about it and said: "After the two children are filial piety, after Fu Wei marries into the Shen family, according to the agreement, the child will be raised by our family, you have to talk to the family and ask the family to serve snacks at that time." According to the talents of the Xi family's brothers and sisters, if the child has five or six images of his father and aunt, he will always have some achievements in the future, so it is not good to delay. β
After saying this, he thought of Shen Zhaolan, the prospective son-in-law, and frowned slightly, "It is said that someone in Ying Tianfu is beating Shen Youqing's idea again?" β
"Before, the concubine Niangniang originally planned to say goodbye to the Shen family, but then I didn't know why I didn't mention it." The henchman nodded, "I heard some rumors outside about this matter, and some families chose to wait and see because of this, but some families didn't think so, so they just led the young lady's family to the Shen family to be a guest." Fortunately, the second son of Shen had a firm attitude, and the Shen family was not good at disobedience, so he probably resigned. The problem now is that many people are speculating why the Shen family has not said kiss to the second son? After all, when Shen Ergongzi came to Jining earlier, he could still say that he was busy with official business and had no time to take care of it. But now that everything is on the right path, the troublemakers of Jianwen have almost been caught, and the family is not talking about this matter, so no one should be surprised. β
Song Li said: "I was negligent in this matter. β
asked his henchmen to send someone back to tell Mrs. Song that it was time to let out the news to Xi Fuwei to find her mother-in-law.
Although Xi Fuwei is still in filial piety, she doesn't mention marriage herself, but there is no problem with her stepfather and mother helping to manage it.
After all, Song Li and his wife don't need to mourn Xi Zongwang.
When this matter spread, it was the righteous father and the righteous mother who were interested in the righteous daughter.
After receiving the news, Mrs. Song replied to Song Li, saying that she thought there was something going on in Jining, so she didn't mention it.
Of course, the conditions are not as good as Shen Weilan.
After all, the identity of the righteous daughter of the Song family cannot be compared with her own daughter, not to mention that she was recognized by the Song family when she grew up, and she was not raised in the Song family, so this weight is even lighter.
Mrs. Song did not agree, nor did she refuse, the reason why she did not refuse was for Xi Fuwei's consideration.
The Shen family thought that Shen Steallan might fade away from Xi Fuwei in two years, and if he didn't mention marrying, the Song family actually had similar thoughts.
So at this time, I will refuse all other ways, and turn around and wait for Shen Thief Lan wholeheartedly, what if Shen Thief Lan is unreliable?
Always keep an eye on it.
only said that Xi Fuwei was pure filial piety, and told her stepmother that she would not mention marriage before filial piety.
And the lady of the Song family is a self-caring righteous daughter, without the righteous daughter's nod, she doesn't dare to call the shots about the marriage of this righteous daughter, so she can only explain to the families that those who are willing to wait for their own girls to be filial piety before talking about marriage can wait, and if they don't want to, don't delay time.
At this time, he took Song Li's letter and released the news to the public, saying that Song Li also felt that at the age of the righteous daughter, even if she couldn't get married now, the marriage should be found.
Interested people were planning to take action, and they heard that Shen Zhang's proposed marriage for his son.
As Song Li and Shen Steallan expected, the high gate of Ying Tianfu immediately thought that Shen Steallan and Xi Fuwei were afraid that they had already made an agreement, at least they knew each other.
Otherwise, how could the second son of the Shen family not get married until now?
Political enemies will inevitably hook up with Shen Baolan and Xi Fuwei in private, and do not hesitate to frame Xi Fuwei's fiancΓ©'s family in order to stay and fly, so that Xi Fuwei and Wen Xianyun can guide public opinion in this direction.
He even got a few officials to be impeached.
It's just that Song Li quickly sent a letter to defend the righteous daughter and Shen Thief, saying that his family and the Shen family are also world friends, and they have always had a good relationship, and they have long intended to marry their children, but their biological daughter Song Jianiang and Shen Thief Lan have always been like brothers and sisters, and they have no intention of being husband and wife at all.
The so-called horizontal knife snatching love or something, it's all nonsense.
The relationship between the Song family and the Shen family is indeed good, otherwise they would not have thought of matching Song Jianiang and Shen Weilan before.
Now that Song Li said this, many people think it makes sense.
The most important thing is that Emperor Yongle doesn't want the marriage between Shen Stealan and Xi Fuwei to be investigated, because he may bring out what King Han and King Zhao did in Jining.
And that was what Emperor Yongle tried in every possible way to hide it, and hoped that it would never be known.
So after hearing the rumors, he immediately found an excuse to let Jinyiwei do the leader of the rumors, the reason was that he could not chill the hearts of the courtiers who worked hard to open the river.
Song Li and Shen Weilan were clear in their hearts, but the other ministers who participated in the opening of the river were not very clear, and they were all moved when they heard the words and believed the truth, and in order to repay Jun's grace, they naturally redoubled their efforts in the matter of dredging the canal.
And some people saw that the emperor attached great importance to the opening of the river, and they did not dare to slack off.
In this way, thousands of miles of land from south to north were waved like a rain, and the huge project made rapid progress.
In the ninth year of Yongle, the section of the river outside Xifu had not yet started, but at the end of the tenth year of Yongle, when Xi Fuwei came out of the pavilion, it was already lively here.
Although Shen Steallan's errand at this time was still in Jining, there were no elders in the Xi family, not to mention that in order to correspond to the Shen family's family, she went out of the cabinet as the righteous daughter of the Song family, so she naturally had to go out from the Song Mansion. Therefore, after discussing with the two parties, they decided to give Shen Steallan leave and go to Yingtianfu to marry together.
After the end, the young couple went back to Jining Mansion to live together.
In the past year, Xi Fuwei has been very strict with Xi Jiao's control, almost to the point that Xi Jiao has done something wrong now, even if her aunt is not in front of her, she will subconsciously tremble.
Seeing her so harsh, Yu Kedi was a little unbearable: "Don't treat this nephew as cowardly, it's okay for a boy to be stubborn." β
"If he's always in my hands, it's okay to be stubborn." Xi Fuwei frowned, "But when I leave the pavilion, he is still young, and the Song family will raise him at that time, if he is still so ignorant and disobedient, do you think the Song family will work hard to cultivate him?" β
When Yu Kedi heard this, he did not persuade him.
He had endured the hardships of the poor, and he understood all too well the difficulty of climbing up from the bottom, and the importance of missing opportunities when he was a teenager.
For example, the people who followed Shen Weilan before him.
Even if that person hadn't been disposed of, he would have regretted it at this time.
Xi Jiao couldn't resist his aunt, he was beaten and scarred for more than a year, and he didn't know how many times he swore that one day he would take revenge on Xi Fuwei.
It's just that Xi Fuwei ignored it, and next time she should be beaten or scolded, there was no taboo, and she even said that she didn't expect Xi Jiao to be filial to herself at all: "I will be satisfied if you take care of yourself." β
Xi Jiao felt so humiliated, this aunt said that she hoped that he could achieve something, but she was afraid that she didn't think he could do anything at all.
He saw these thoughts clearly, and he didn't bother to pay attention to them.
In order to avoid suspicion, the aunt and nephew deliberately arrived at Yingtianfu with Shen Stealing Lan in two ways.
After living in the Song Mansion, Xi Fuwei took Xi Jiao to see the Song family, and at this time, the well-behaved and sensible Xi Jiao, who was trained, liked the Song family very much, saying that he was obedient and tame, and was loved, not like his own monkeys, and he didn't know where to jump if he couldn't stand it.
Xi Jiao rarely heard praise during this time, and subconsciously straightened his chest when he heard the words.
As a result, I heard my aunt say: "This is because of the nephews and nieces who are talented and intelligent, and it is common to be like Jiao'er, so they need stupid birds to fly first." β
When Xi Fuwei said this, she understood her nephew's aggrieved little eyes, but she ignored it, the young Xi Jiao still didn't understand, the most important thing in the days under the fence is not to be in the limelight, especially not to cover up the limelight of the main family.
She really wanted to guide Xi Jiao as much as possible, but the problem was that the time was too rushed, Shen Steal Lan was several years older than her, and it was impossible for her to wait for Xi Jiao to be trained before leaving the cabinet.
And Xi Fuwei has no plans to delay her life's major events for Xi Jiao.
What's more, as far as the current situation of the Xi family is concerned, from the perspective of interests, she also needs the Shen family, her in-laws, to suppress those greedy ghosts.
has seen the unhappy life that her nephew will have in the Song family next, but Xi Fuwei does not plan to take him personally.
After all, when he arrived at the Shen family, Xi Jiao was still under the fence.
Even if she will go back to Jining Mansion with Shen Steallan immediately after getting married, where the young couple will live, Shen Steallan may not be able to tolerate Xi Jiao. But in the long run, Xi Jiao stayed in the Song family, although it was not as comfortable as being by his side, and the people and things he could contact were not available to small Jining.
Speaking of which, the Xi family suffered such a loss back then, due to the involvement of the Lanyu case, the family was ruined, and from the original official eunuch family, it became a squire in Dongchang Mansion.
And because of the thin number of people and the lack of connections, even if there was a hope of Xi Fuguang, in the end, the family was ruined.
Compared with the harvest, the compromises in the process are worth it in Xi Fuwei's opinion.
She admits that she is not good enough, but sometimes some sacrifices are necessary to support a portal in such a generation.
After all, in the future, it will be Xi Jiao who will support the Xi family, and the Xi family's prosperity will be the first to benefit Xi Jiao.
Let this nephew be tempered in the Song Mansion, and she also has a clear conscience.
Of course, treating Xi Jiao like this, Xi Fuwei is also ready for this nephew to hate herself for the rest of her life.
But I didn't want to, on the day I left the pavilion, this nephew would pull her skirt and cry all the way to the gate, or because the crying was too loud, it almost overwhelmed the gongs and drums, and the Song family was afraid of disturbing the festive atmosphere, so they forced people away.
