Chapter 21 The Old Lady's Summons
"It doesn't matter if it's true or not." When Song Li heard this, he turned his head, looked at his favorite little daughter seriously, and said softly, "That woman's background, it is impossible to marry Shen Thief Lan as a wife, in this case, what are you worried about?" With the status of our family, if you really marry Shen Shulan in the future, before the wedding, the Shen family will ask him to clean up the backyard to show respect for our family! ”
"With your identity, it's just a joke to deal with her!"
He said lightly, but Song Jianiang couldn't do anything wrong, bit her lip, and said, "The old housekeeper said that Miss Xi is very young and beautiful...... What if Brother Shen really had a heart for her? ”
"So what?" Song Li disagreed, "Do you think Shen Steallan studied hard and was admitted to Xiucai last year, why would he come to Shandong to do things at this time under the identity of Jinyiwei?" This is because the Shen family knows His Majesty's determination to move the capital, and intends to let him get a piece of the pie in this kind of big event, and by the way, it is also for the East Palace to increase the weight and good impression of His Majesty...... After all, he is not the eldest son, there is an elder brother who inherits the title, if the family does not give him a plan for his future, he will be crowned a loose official in the future, and he will receive some salty and light money to live! ”
"Even if you succeed in your studies, according to Your Majesty's Shengming, and the current situation of the East Palace, it will be difficult to get promoted without real political achievements!"
"This is a major matter related to his future, how can he be confused for a woman? Not to mention a young and beautiful woman...... Is it rare for people like us to be rare? ”
Seeing that her daughter was still depressed, she sighed and comforted, "Don't worry! Although it is said that the father and the Shen family are interested in marrying, but isn't this the clear road yet? If Shen Steallan is really a fool, and he is true for a woman from a small family, such a waste, his father will never agree to marry you! ”
He also encouraged, "What's more, my son is both talented and beautiful, and his background is no worse than that kid, how can a country girl be compared?" ”
It's easy to say that this daughter was finally sent away, Song Li's face instantly became gloomy, and he called someone to the side and asked, "What's going on with the Shen family kid?" ”
The subordinates were sincerely afraid: "In the past two days, the master has been walking around, because he is afraid that the young lady will be affected, so he stays in the inn and asks the people below to wait." The young lady has nothing to do, she often plays in the city, and when she sees something to eat and drink, if it is interesting, she will send it to Shen Gongzi! The old slave only found out about it when he came back because he was following the master, although he felt that it was inappropriate, but he never found a chance to tell it, and he didn't expect it to ......"
"I didn't mean that!" Song Li interrupted coldly, "Shen Stealing Lan came to Shandong as a Jinyi Guard, although these eagle claws were disbanded by His Majesty Emperor Taizu in the previous dynasty, and they were only rebuilt under His Majesty's orders in recent years. ”
When his subordinates heard this, their faces changed, and they said, "Master, what do you mean...... Jinyi Weizhong? ”
"It's their business." Song Li's face was expressionless, "I don't want to act as a substitute, but those people and things around me who don't want me to stay out of the matter ......"
"The old slave will check it out immediately!" Knowing that the matter was serious, his subordinates did not dare to slack off, so he saluted and said in a deep voice, "The old slave promises, I will never let go of anything outside the inside and outside!" ”
Song Li's face eased slightly, bowed slightly, thinking of Fang Cai's daughter's nervous appearance, frowned, and finally ordered: "That Xi family girl, if you have time, check the details, see what kind of character she is, do you know the severity?" ”
…… Xi Fuwei, who returned to Zou Mansion, didn't know at all, because of a hurried glance in front of the door, she had already entered the sight of the father and daughter of the Ministry of Works.
After she went back to Fen Zhi Building, she first went to visit Fu Xuanxian, and talked to this Sister Fu for a while before returning to her house.
She had just changed out of her dress, and the sound of footsteps on the stairs followed Lu Sha's knock on the door, and her voice was a little uneasy: "Mr. Shen, old lady, please come over!" ”
Old Madam Zhuang?
Xi Fuwei had a "groan" in her heart, and secretly said that this old lady should be angry with herself because Zou Yiang was punished, right?
You must know that she was cautious and didn't say anything that day, and the whole story was told by Zou Qiongruo and them, at most, she sent someone to inform Mrs. Shang.
The problem is that the incident happened in the Zou Mansion, can she do it if she doesn't tell Mrs. Shang?
Sighing secretly, praying that the old lady would not be too unreasonable, Xi Fuwei raised her voice and said, "I'll change my clothes and go over!" ”
After a while, she came to Mrs. Zhuang, the old lady lived in a three-entry courtyard in the southeast corner of Zou Mansion, and the yard was planted with persimmon trees and peach trees.
Silently shows the age and heritage of this family.
"Sir, don't be careful, there's no other point in inviting you to come." Mrs. Zhuang's hair has turned gray, and her pampered face inevitably has heavy wrinkles due to her age, but the outline can be seen, and she was also a beauty when she was young.
Her demeanor was very dignified and elegant, she smiled without showing her teeth, and she didn't even reach the bottom of her eyes, and politely greeted Xi Fuwei to sit down, and said kindly, "It's just that I have listened to the people below me every two days, and my husband has learned from people, which makes my family's evil obstacles full of praise...... Because of the evil obstacle in my family, I invited a famous gentleman to sit in the museum for guidance, and I have never seen him respect and praise him like this, so I am a little curious, and I want to invite Mr. to come over and talk to him, and also call me this old woman, to see the talented woman in the world! ”
Xi Fuwei understood as soon as she heard it, this old lady was afraid that she would beat her grandson's idea!
After all, Zou Yiang is three years younger than Xi Fuwei, as the so-called female junior holds gold bricks, Zou Yiang has also reached the age of discussing relatives, and always says that Xi Fuwei is good and that is good...... As for Xi Fuwei's current situation, even if she didn't have any thoughts about Zou Yiang, maybe she would have to be troubled by his attitude?
"The old lady laughed, Zou Gongzi is just a kind word, where can he take it seriously?" Xi Fuwei was speechless, she came to Zou Mansion to be a traitor, not a golden beetle son-in-law, where did she have the heart to be involved with Zou Yiang?
It's just that it is impossible to confess this intention to Mrs. Zhuang, so I can only use other methods to dispel this suspicion, "And Zou Gongzi says this in front of Sister Fu every time, Sister Fu often makes fun of me now, and I am embarrassed to see my sister!" ”
Your grandson praised me, but he praised me in front of Fu Suixian, who was also in the west seat of your mansion with me, and the intention was whether it was good or bad, please taste it yourself!
Old Madam Zhuang listened, her eyes moved slightly, and she chuckled: "Is that so?" Then this kid is not sensible! ”
didn't say anything more, pulled her to chat a few words, gave her a pair of silver bracelets, and let her go.
Xi Fuwei said goodbye to her, frowned on the way back to Fenzhi Building, didn't want to turn the door of the Yueyue Cave, and met Zou Yiang who walked over with his hands behind his back.
"Mr. Shen, where are you going?" Zou Yiang was humming a little tune and walking swaying, but when he saw her, he hurriedly quickened his pace and greeted him enthusiastically, "Look at the direction, it seems to be from my grandmother's side?" Could it be that he was going to speak ill of me? ”
"Zou Gongzi didn't do anything bad, who can say bad things about you?" Xi Fuwei was annoyed with him in her heart, and she was about to laugh when she heard the words, "You really think too much." ”
Zou Yiang didn't care about the sarcasm in her words, and said with a smile: "Huh? It seems that it really came from my grandmother? ”
He looked behind her, "Why is it just one?" What about Mr. Fu? Did your grandmother invite you to talk? ”
"Sister Fu is not very happy these days, and she is still lying on the couch." Xi Fuwei looked at him and smiled, "Zou Gongzi forgot?" ”
"Mr. Fu is not someone from this son, this son thinks about her all day long, like words?" Zou Yiang heard the subtlety in her tone, raised his eyebrows, suddenly took a step closer, leaned in front of her, and said ambiguously, "Mr. Shen, are you right?" ”
Xi Fuwei looked at him with an unchanged expression, for a moment, hooked her lips and smiled, her eyes fixed on the top of his head, and then, panning to her shoulder, smiled meaningfully.
Zou Yiang's face froze.
He's twelve years old and hasn't started smoking strips yet.
Fifteen-year-old Xi Fuwei is three years older than him, and she is relatively tall among girls, and she has grown a head of him at this time, and Zou Yiang learned to tease the girl's movements, originally intended to tease her, but was embarrassed by a look that couldn't be explained.
After a moment of silence, Zou Yiang was still young, he couldn't hold his face, and he shook his hand angrily and left!
"Sir, son, he went to the old lady's place." Lu Sha watched Zou Yiang's master and servant leave, hesitated, and reminded Xi Fuwei in the end, "The old lady saw that the child's expression was wrong, and she must ask the reason." ”
Xi Fuwei said indifferently: "Why should I be afraid of the Zou family asking for this?" ”
She was about to let Mrs. Zhuang know that Zou Yiang in her eyes was just a child, and she couldn't get up at all, lest the old lady send her out in advance, so that she couldn't complete the task!
Thinking of the task, Xi Fuwei frowned slightly, speaking of which, she had been in Zou Mansion for a few days, but no matter whether it was Fu Qiuxian's background or Zou Mansion's views on dredging the canal or moving the capital, there was no progress.
Calm down and think about it, it's no wonder that Fang just went to see Shen Weilan, that person wanted to warn her that there must be results.
After all, Jinyiwei is not a Tzu Chi facility.
"Fu Suixian is now living in Fenzhi Building with me, no matter what her background is, the next building is the first to get the moon, keep an eye on her, sooner or later she will find clues!" Xi Fuwei thought for a while, and said secretly, "It's difficult to find out the true intentions of the Zou Mansion, is it in favor of His Majesty's resolution to move the capital, or against?" ”
This is embarrassing, because although she has entered the Zou Mansion, her identity is only a Xixi, and she teaches only a few young ladies who cannot inherit the family business, and she is younger than a young man...... But how could he hear such news without arousing the suspicion of the Zou Mansion?
