Chapter 123: Are You Trying to Reject Me?
"If my family doesn't object, will you marry me?" When Shen Weilan heard this, he didn't answer the rhetorical question.
Xi Fuwei pursed her lips and thought for a moment before saying, "This is a big matter, I need to think about it for a few days." ”
"You've heard that I'm the second son in the family, and I have a brother above me. There are younger brothers and sisters at the bottom, as well as a brother-in-law and a sister-in-law. Shen Weilan seemed to smile and said, "My family has always been strict with me, and I have been studying and practicing martial arts since I was a child, even if it is a day, I will not be slack off." So for my marriage, they don't require that you have to marry a famous family. ”
Although the room was dim at the moment, and they couldn't see each other's expressions clearly, Shen Weilan could also guess the suspicion on Xi Fuwei's face.
He explained slowly, "In fact, the reason is very simple, a well-cultivated child naturally wants him to be motivated and make a career, instead of thinking about finding a noble girl to marry and go to the light of the Yue family." If you have the idea of relying on your wife, how can you cultivate the spirit of striving for the top? However, several of my cousins, as well as my brother-in-law, are a little lazy, although my father and brother have strictly supervised, but so far there is no intention of fighting. Therefore, the family decided that their marriage must be the right one. ”
This is the Shen family's attitude towards the marriage of their children, and it is also the unspoken rule that is generally accepted in high-ranking families: children who do not seek progress, such as what Shen Weilan said, his few stubborn younger brothers, the family will not let them marry low.
This move is not only out of not believing in their ability to run the family in the future, so they want to find a wife for them to share the risk, but also because such children can't contribute much to the family, and even make trouble for the family.
is a capable and promising person like Shen Steallan, although the family also hopes that they will find a wife who is the right person, but they just have the idea of icing on the cake.
If the girl they fancy is from a relatively low background, as long as it is not a messy family and belongs to the category of a good family, they can generally discuss.
After all, such a child, one can get ahead without a wife, and he can't live up to the family's investment; The second is that having the ability means having opinions and ideas, even if it is temporarily suppressed by the elders because of its youth, and it will rebound in the future, it may be a chicken and an egg, even if it is a prosperous family, outstanding children are always worth cherishing; The third is because marriage is a good marriage between two surnames, forcing a talented son to marry a woman he doesn't like, if the kind of more reasonable is good, unreasonable, will vent his anger on the head of the woman who the elders marry him, and people are not without a mother's family, when the time comes, it will become a feud, but why bother?
Shen Steallan, who was born in a noble family, knows this tacit understanding well, and the previous marriage with the Song family is an example.
After the Shen family learned of Song Jianiang's actions, although they were not happy, they were not yet to the point where they decided to give up this family business.
After all, Song Jianiang has a good background, and she really likes Shen Thief, she is not sensible, can she learn, she is still young, and there are people who are confused.
But Shen Weilan sent a message back and said that he didn't want this girl, and the Shen family quickly euphemistically told the Song family that please don't mention the marriage again, as if nothing had happened.
His identity, his performance over the years, and his predictable future are enough to ensure that he has a considerable say in his marriage.
Instead of the younger brothers, they either married or were driven out of the Shen Mansion and lived a life without the protection of the family, until they gave in or woke up and chose to marry or rise up.
The prosperity of a family always requires everyone to participate as much as possible.
It is impossible to let the vast majority of people be parasites.
Then the family will not be destroyed in a few days.
In the end, Xi Fuwei was only born as a squire, and the Xi family has few generations of heirs, so she is naturally very unfamiliar with the idea of a real high-level.
At this moment, after listening to Shen Shulan's words, he couldn't help but groan.
Shen Weilan paused and said: "And the world has only been peaceful for a few years, don't think that how many people in the court today are real and famous, and they are high." As the saying goes, only three generations of officials know how to dress and eat. My ancestor of the Shen family, Shangyuan, was also poor, and during the Hongwu period, my grandfather was just a soldier in the north. In the Battle of Jingyan, he frequently made military exploits, and he was ranked among the public candidates! ”
"It's my foreign family, and it's also the maiden family of today's crown princess, whose ancestors go back several generations, and they are also cold."
"Therefore, whether it is the crown princess or the mother, her temperament is very peaceful, and she doesn't have many opinions."
Xi Fuwei said in her heart that I can greet the three sects and the nine streams calmly, but if Xi Jiao wants to marry a wife when he grows up, I definitely hope that he will find a rich girl, preferably the kind where his mother's family is powerful and willing to pull him...... The human heart is like this, and there is no right or wrong.
She whispered, "I'm in a mess right now, can I answer you in two days?" ”
When Shen Weilan heard this, he knew that he would not be able to get a definite answer today, so he sighed secretly and said softly: "Okay." ”
"My lord......" Xi Fuwei secretly breathed a sigh of relief when she saw that this topic had been revealed, and she was concerned about tonight's actions, but she was interrupted before she spoke: "You didn't have a formal position under me before, and now I intend to marry you, and the relationship between the so-called boss and subordinates naturally can't continue...... You can call me the word, do you remember my word? ”
Xi Fuwei bit her lower lip and said, "Youqing, you have been here for a long time, and you don't know what happened to Xing Xingshou?" ”
"I've got it all arranged." Shen Weilan chuckled lightly and said, "There is an enemy over there tonight, and they are watching, so you and I don't have to bother." ”
Xi Fuwei said in her heart that it's normal that I don't bother, and if you don't bother, as for pretending to be paralyzed and careless, take the lead in visiting the kiln?
"It's pickled here, why don't I send you away first." Thinking like this, Shen Weilan said again, "Don't wait for the sword light and sword shadow to disturb you." ”
"What does Xing Xingshou want to do?" Xi Fuwei said "um", and felt him reach over to support his elbow, leading him out of the door and downstairs, she followed cautiously, and asked in a low voice, "Is she from King Han?" ”
was confessed, and the treatment was suddenly different, she had asked similar questions before, Shen Steallan basically didn't hand her a "this is not what you should ask" look, or just just let her shut up and do her own thing.
At this moment, he said without thinking: "Xing Fanggui is the daughter of a member of Jianwen, and when she ascended the throne today, because of what her father and brother did, her mother and sister were promised to be elephant slaves as wives, and they were tortured to death soon after. She herself was outstandingly good-looking, and was sold by an exceptional official and became a prostitute. If it weren't for that, she would now be on an equal footing with Miss Song. So she didn't say it, and she must have a deep resentment in her heart. I heard that she came to Jining in person, so I took precautions. ”
Elephant slaves were slaves who cared for elephants, and these people were from humble backgrounds, such as prisoners of war, and some were even mahouts who were well known about the temperament of elephants as tribute from neighboring countries, and were not Middle-earth at all.
At this time, although the Chinese people experienced the tragedy of Yashan during the death of the Song Dynasty, and only then did they break free from the enslavement of the so-called golden family, but the self-esteem of the Han people since ancient times is still there.
Especially under the bone marrow of the Shinong industry and commerce, from the noble women and noblewomen of the Shi clan to being played with by slaves. Insult...... The humiliation caused by this gap, Xing Fanggui has no resentment towards Emperor Yongle, it is really impossible.
"So, Xing Fanggui is the remnant of Jianwen?" Xi Fuwei's heart skipped a beat, and she said, "Is she here to contact the Zou Mansion?" ”
Shen Weilan said: "At present, I haven't found out that she has contacted the Zou Mansion, and tonight's matter is mainly due to the action of King Han." ”
"King Han?" Xi Fuwei was surprised, "If she has a grudge against Your Majesty...... How can you still do things for King Han? King Han is also His Majesty's kinsman. ”
Without waiting for Shen Weilan to answer, she came to her senses again and said, "She wants to see the Heavenly Family kill each other." ”
As they spoke, the two of them had already walked downstairs, it was a small hall, and the lamp was lit, but the cover of the lamp was a little thicker, and the light was vague and not very clear.
The faces of the two people in the photo were a little hazy.
The door was ajar, and the north wind tried to squeeze in, and there was no trickle of heat left from the stove behind the door.
Xi Fuwei couldn't help but want to relieve the fox fur again: "Even if things go well tonight, the next thing is to be busy with paperwork alone, and you still need to be in charge of the opening of the river...... If you have a cold or something, aren't you going to miss the overall situation? ”
Shen Weilan looked at her with interest and smiled, "Do you really want me to wear a fox fur?" ”
Seeing Xi Fuwei nodding, he said again, "But I'm more afraid that you will catch a cold." ”
"Didn't you say you're leaving now?" Xi Fuwei said, "It's not cold when you go to the carriage...... Besides, even if I have a cold, I can take care of it slowly, and there is nothing important for me to worry about. ”
"Okay then." Shen Weilan thought for a moment and said, "You give me the fox fur." ”
Xi Fuwei agreed, and took off her coat and handed it to him.
During this process, Shen Weilan kept looking at her intently, and squinted her eyes after seeing that she did not show any unhappiness because she agreed.
He took the fox fur and quickly put it on, and without waiting for Xi Fuwei to react, he actually took her into his arms!
"That way neither of us will be cold." Xi Fuwei was startled, and instinctively wanted to struggle, but heard this person chuckle and say, "Just a few steps, will you go down?" ”
"......" Xi Fuwei was speechless and struggled, "It's not good, I'm not afraid of the cold, I can just go to the carriage." ”
She just said that she needed to think about it before answering Shen Weilan, but in fact, she had already thought about it.
He did not intend to agree to the proposal of this promising second son of Shen.
The reason is simple.
Even if the Shen family agreed to Shen Steallan marrying her, they knew that after passing the door, they would not attach much importance to her.
Not to mention deliberately looking for trouble, the attitude is certainly not much better.
After all, the gap in origin is here.
How could Gao Pan not pay the price?
And according to Xi Fuwei's original plan, she didn't go out of the cabinet, relied on the money in her hand, and the relationship she had laid down in Jinyiwei, recruited people and took charge of her own house, although she was not as decent and powerful as marrying Shen Thief, she was too comfortable.
She can't say that she doesn't have a good impression of Shen Weilan at all, after all, this person has talent, family background or appearance...... Most young girls will be tempted.
If the two sides are right, and Xi Fuwei is not dragged down by family feuds, maybe she will take the initiative to ride around like Yao Zhuosu.
But with the gap in origin, Xi Fuwei felt that her liking for Shen Stealing Lan was not deep enough to be willing to be a low-lying child for him for a lifetime.
She didn't say it on the spot.
After all, the status was not equal, and she wasn't sure what Shen Weilan's reaction would be after hearing these words.
For the sake of her own safety, Xi Fuwei felt that it was better to delay it first.
Turning back, she sent him away with the idea of coming up with the best of both worlds.
Therefore, at this moment, he subconsciously refused to get close to Shen Thief.
"Are you trying to reject me?" However, before the words fell, she noticed that Shen Weilan's movements stiffened, and then, the person asked slowly, "Are you already thinking about how to break off your relationship with me now?" ”
