Text Chapter 1 Joy and sorrow
The gold leaf of the five-petal sunflower bowl with gold leaf celadon bowl is obviously very old, and it glows with a mottled halo in the lamplight.
A plain white hand put the spoon stained with the medicinal juice back into the bowl with the bottom left, Xi Fuwei took out the embroidered handkerchief from her sleeve, leaned over to wipe the sweat on her forehead for her brother Xi Fuguang who was lying on the couch, and the distant mountain-like eyebrows frowned slightly: "Big brother, do you feel better?" β
"I feel so much better." Xi Fuguang, who is five years older than her, is only the crown of the year, is the son of the Xi family, and is also the only son, the brother and sister have lost their mother since childhood, and they were brought up by their father Xi Zongwang, the father and son have been dependent on each other for many years, and the relationship is very deep. β
However, when he said this, his pale face was flushed with abnormal redness, and his weak voice was even more erratic and weak, which made Xi Fuwei's heart sink.
opened his mouth and wanted to say something, but he still endured it, and only smiled: "Big brother, calculate the time, the list of Qiu Yu should be soon." I don't know if you will win Xie Yuan this time? β
"Our Dongchang Mansion looks a little depressed now, but before the Huitong River was silted up, it was also the place where the outstanding people were, and there were many talents. Even at this moment, he is a master like a cloud, and Xie Yuan should not succeed. When Xi Fuguang heard this, he first said humbly, and then said confidently, "But the top five should be fine!" β
As the saying goes, thirty young jinshi means that thirty years old is also young when he is admitted to jinshi.
Although Xi Fuguang is only taking the township test at this time, at his age, it is enough glory to be on the list, but now that the results have not come out, he boasts that he is in the top five, so that people who don't know will see it, and they can't think he is arrogant.
But in fact, as the most well-known talent in Dongchang Mansion in recent years, he established a name as a prodigy when he was eight years old.
was only fifteen years old, passed the children's examination, and was once the youngest talent in Dongchang Mansion.
Originally, he planned to participate in the township test in the new year, but he was very happy and sad, and a sudden serious illness made him lie down for two years before he recovered.
Before this end, I was almost recuperated.
Who knew that the climate of Dongchang Mansion in the exam changed suddenly, and it rained heavily for several days, and the number room in the examination room was in disrepair, and the wind and rain leaked out of shape, and many candidates who were usually in good health were sick...... He forced his front foot out of the examination room, and his back foot fainted!
At this moment, Xi Fuwei recalled the horror of the father and daughter who witnessed all this outside the examination room that day, and she was afraid, and couldn't help but complain again: "Since the eldest brother knows his talent and is still young now, why should he be in such a hurry?" If you hadn't participated in the autumn exam this time, you wouldn't be lying here now, so my father and I don't have to worry about it! β
Xi Fuguang heard this, in fact, he had heard this several times in the past two days, and he regretted it in his heart, after all, Xi Zongwang was old, and he didn't have a brother to help him...... If he has three long and two short, called this family of old and weak women and children, how will he live?
But the wood is already in the boat, and now it's too late to regret it.
At the moment, I was racking my brains to coax my sister's words, when I heard a soft cough from the door.
The brother and sister asked at the same time, "Who?" What's up? β
I heard Xi Fuwei's personal maid Zhanchun whispering through the door curtain: "Childe, Miss, someone from the Wen family has come, and now I am talking to the master in the hall, because among the people who came is the aunt of the eldest son, the master asked the young lady to go out and talk to that Mrs. Su!" β
Hearing this, Xi Fuxuan hurriedly urged his sister: "Your fiancΓ©'s aunt, don't be lazy!" Go and check it out, lest people think you're deliberately slacking off when you're late! β
"This family affair was originally decided by people who took the initiative to decide on the talent after watching the eldest brother tie your hair, and in the face of your future Pengcheng Wanli." Xi Fuwei didn't care too much, and said, "If you know that I'm here with you, you won't be surprised!" β
"Wen Xianyun is the leading patriarch of Dongchang Mansion, we have all seen him himself, his appearance is very upright, and he is famous for his filial piety." Xi Fuxuan persuaded her with a smile, "If it weren't for the fact that he was the son of the sect and needed to inherit the Wen family's family business, so that he delayed his homework, he would at least be a talent at this time...... It's not easy to find such a husband, you are diligent, people like it when they hear their family, and when you pass the door, they will hurt you more, right? β
The corners of Xi Fuwei's mouth twitched, she stood up, but she didn't go out, but leaned in front of him and whispered: "I just heard that he is filial piety, so I feel that I have no bottom in my heart...... His father is also okay, and his mother is said to have strict rules! Such a filial son, after I leave the cabinet, if there is something that my mother-in-law doesn't like, who do you think he will help? β
"Don't talk nonsense, Mrs. Wen is very virtuous." Xi Fuxuan was slightly stunned when he heard this, subconsciously frowned, and said, "Besides, this family affair was decided by the Wen family five years ago when you were only ten years old. At the beginning, my father felt that the two families were not right, and he was afraid that you would be wronged after you passed, but he really saw that the Wen family was full of sincerity, so he agreed...... In the past two years, you have seen the enthusiasm of the Wen family for our family, and it doesn't look like a person who will take people by their ranks, right? β
But after a slight pause, he still said in a low voice, "If you really don't feel at ease, when I get better, I'll give you this family affair and choose a one you like...... The girl's family is the most important thing in her life, I am just your sister, how can I let you marry satisfactorily! β
Xi Fuwei stretched out her hand and pressed the corner of her mouth before suppressing her smile and said, "Big brother, just concentrate on recuperation!" That's what I said...... The Wen family values you so much, and for your face, I won't let Mrs. Wen bully me! β
The brother and sister said a few more words, and Zhan Chun came over to urge again, so she called someone to come in to serve Xi Fuxuan, tidy up her appearance, and go to meet the guests.
On the hall, Xi Zongwang saw that his daughter had come late, and frowned and scolded: "There are no rules!" I told you that there was a distinguished guest at home, but it was delayed until now! Why don't you hurry up and ask your Uncle Wen Shi and Aunt Su for their guilt?! β
But without waiting for the guest to speak, he changed his smile and explained to his daughter, "The dog has not been well in the past two days, and he has been recuperating on the couch." This child has always had a deep relationship with her brother, no, she has been serving at the sickbed all day long, and the time is when the dog wants to take medicine, so it must be because of this reason that it has been delayed! β
"What my in-laws said is out of sight." The person who came was a couple, and there were four or five attendants standing behind them at this moment, the master and servant were all dressed very brightly, and they hurriedly said, "It's all my own family, where is the niece of Xian coming out in a hurry?" What's more, the harmony and friendship between brothers and sisters was originally what we as elders were happy to see, so how could there be any reason to blame the virtuous niece for this? β
He also greeted Xi Fuxuan's physical condition, "The head of the family knows that the virtuous nephew is sick, and he is very anxious!" It's just that now people are stumbling up on things in the field and can't come back for the time being! So I wrote to ask us to come over and have a look, and by the way, I brought an old ginseng to make up for my nephew's body. β
Xi Zongwang hurriedly excused himself: "This is a good thing!" It's okay to keep it for your own use, where is it good to give it to the dog? β
But the guest's attitude was very resolute, saying that it was explained in the letter written by the head of the Wen family, and the master's mother's hand was taken out of the treasury and must be sent to the Xi family.
If the Xi family doesn't accept it, they won't be able to explain when they go back.
In this way, the two sides pushed and conceded a few times, but Xi Zongwang still accepted it in the end: after all, Xi Fuxuan's situation at this time is indeed not very good, and he needs the recuperation of precious medicinal materials.
He felt that he couldn't help it, and sighed: "In the past two years, my in-laws have been too troubled!" β
"What you said is such a good child, but what about the fiancΓ©e of our family's sect!" Su Shi smiled when he heard this, glanced at Xi Fuwei kindly, and said, "Speaking of this marriage, the head of the family also mentioned in the letter that the son of our family and Ling Lang used to be classmates, and he was a year older than Ling Lang in terms of age, and now he is twenty-one, and he has a little time to take care of some of the family business...... What the head of the family means is that it is time for the son to get married! What do you think of this ......? β
When Xi Fuwei heard this, she hurriedly stood up, lowered her head and said, "Daddy, Uncle Wen Shi, Aunt Su, I'll go to the kitchen to see how the luncheon is prepared!" β
This is an unwritten rule nowadays, and it is not good for girls to listen loudly to talk about their life's events.
However, because of the early death of her biological mother, Xi Fuwei's brother concentrated on his studies, and helped Xi Zongwang take care of the inside and outside at a very young age.
In her opinion, such an important matter would have been heard from the beginning to the end in person...... The problem is that if she does this, the reputation of the Xi family will not be wanted!
So at this time, he immediately went out according to the rules "shyly", and after sending away the people left and right, he went around to the back of the house with a familiar car, and looked at no one, just a sharp turnover, climbed on the roof like an ape, lightly removed a few tiles, made a small hole, looked down, and listened while watching.
At this moment, she really began to discuss her exit from the cabinet, and it was very smooth: the Wen family is very optimistic about Xi Fuguang's future, and they also love Xi Fuwei, whether it is the number of dowries or the scale of the wedding, they far exceed Xi Zongwang's psychological expectations.
even took the initiative to hint that the Wen family had sent out all of Wen Xianyun's rooms and the like, ensuring that after Xi Fuwei passed through the door, she would see a clean and undisturbed backyard!
Not to mention that Xi Zongwang smiled from ear to ear, and Xi Fuwei, who was eavesdropping, also had nothing to say.
Thinking of the worry that her fiancΓ© was too obedient to her parents, she sighed and said in her heart that it was better to forget about it, after all, the Wen family is now treating the Xi family well, and they have to pick and choose, or even withdraw from their relatives, just because they are afraid that no one will poke the backbone of the Xi family!
Pressing the hesitation for this family business, Xi Fuwei restored the tiles, and after falling to the ground, she was about to go to the kitchen to make a show, when she suddenly heard a noise in front of her, she frowned, and immediately turned around, wanting to see who was so unruly and noisy to disturb Xi Fuxuan, who was recuperating?
Who knew that when I went to the front, before I could ask, I was pulled by a group of maids and women, and excitedly announced: "The person who announces the good news is here!" Our son's high school is the third in the Asian dollar! β
Xi Fuwei was stunned, and then remembered that the laurel list was actually posted today, but the Xi family was worried about Xi Fuxuan's condition, and they didn't even take it to heart!
reacted at this moment, it was ecstasy, and he didn't care about the person who greeted the good news in person, and threw down a sentence: "Good life is waiting!" β
Lift the skirt and run back!
Halfway through the run, I saw the maid who was waiting for Xi Fuguang coming towards her, with a worried expression, seeing Xi Fuwei, she didn't wait for her to say the good news, and the split was: "Miss!" Oh no, Childe, he ...... He had just started vomiting blood!! β
βοΌοΌοΌοΌβ Xi Fuwei's eyes widened instantly!
