Chapter 122: She's Different
The world seemed to fall silent all at once.
Even the original sound of wind and snow outside the window seems to have disappeared.
After a while, Xi Fuwei asked in a deep voice: "My subordinates are stupid, my lord asked this...... The subordinates are only afraid that they will be misunderstood. β
Shen Weilan said calmly: "You didn't misunderstand. β
"......" Xi Fuwei narrowed her eyes, and after a moment, she said, "My subordinates are stupid, I don't understand why?" β
"You're not stupid." Shen Weilan corrected her first, "If you were stupid, I wouldn't ask this." β
Without waiting for Xi Fuwei to answer, he said again, "I know why you hesitate, it's just because of your family background. But not to mention Song Shangshu's righteous daughter, it is enough to match me. Even if you have never had anything to do with the Song family, as long as you are from a good family, I can guarantee that you will be allowed to tie your hair. β
"My lord, I heard that you came to Shandong to accumulate merit." Xi Fuwei really couldn't believe this, because it was the boss, she didn't use a mocking tone, she only reminded calmly, "And if your subordinates are your wife, I'm afraid they won't be able to help you." β
She thought carefully about the reason why Shen Steallan would say such things to herself, "If the adults think that their subordinates serve well in the study, in fact, it is very easy for the little maids in the family to find two clever casual training for a few days." To put it mildly, after all, the subordinate has been a young lady for more than ten years, and this errand of serving people is not as good as the ironing made by the maid. β
"I want a like-minded wife, not a lack of people to serve." Shen Weilan stared at her, obviously neither of them could see each other's faces clearly at the moment, but Xi Fuwei felt that his gaze was like substance, and he actually felt that his face was burning for a while, "I didn't think much about this before, the world says that marrying a wife and marrying virtue, and the elders say that gentleness and virtue are right." I think that's it, too. But during this time, when you and I talked about the past and the present in the study, I thought that if in the future, my wife can only be gentle and virtuous, keep the inner house in order, take proper care of the children, and even tolerate me to take a concubine...... I may be grateful to her, I may respect her, but I will not reach the point of being close to her. β
Before this time of getting along, he didn't think there was anything wrong with marrying a virtuous wife.
She will take care of the back house and let herself concentrate on her achievements.
And gentle and considerate, she always knows when to say and do something, even if he is out of the field, or too busy with official business to accompany her, she will understand.
Save worry and effort to save face, and parents and family members will also approve.
But after getting along with Xi Fuwei in the study, after seeing this girl's intelligence and cleverness, as well as her knowledge and calm heart that are not weaker than men's, Shen Steallan suddenly felt that the gentle and virtuous woman was really a little boring.
is like what he said to Xi Fuwei before: gentleness and virtue are the easiest, no matter what a person's own temperament is, as long as he is willing to pretend, there is no saying that he can't pretend.
Talent, courage, courage, perseverance...... Not everyone has that.
Shen Weilan has no ill feelings towards gentle and considerate women, but she does not have a strong urge to live with such a woman for the rest of her life.
And Xi Fuwei is different.
This ordinary person can't afford it, such as Yu Kedi, even if his mother Cheng persuaded him in every possible way, he just wanted to recognize her as a righteous sister, and he never thought of flirting with her as a wife.
As Wen Xianyun said, after Xi Fuguang left, the Wen family immediately turned their faces and was ruthless.
But when Xi Fuguang was still alive, the Wen family really cared for the Xi family.
Wen Xianyun himself can be regarded as both talented and good-looking, and has a gentle and elegant temperament, no matter how you look at it, he is a fast son-in-law who can't be found with a lantern in ten miles and eight towns.
Not to mention that he also has the blessing of the identity of the chief prince of Dongchang Mansion.
But Xi Fuwei seemed indifferent to this.
When she fled Dongchang Mansion with her nephew to death, she didn't even think about confronting this fiancΓ© with the hope of just in case.
It can be seen how light this fiancΓ©'s status is in her mind, so light that she doesn't even care if this move is someone else's sowing discord, will she be wronged by Wen Xianyun?
This is also why Shen Thief Lan clearly said that he was the one who helped their aunt and nephew leave from Dongchang Mansion, but he still wanted to take Xi Jiao as a hostage.
Because he saw Wen Xianyun's fate and didn't keep Xi Jiao in his hands, Shen Shulan couldn't believe that Xi Fuwei would be obedient at all.
Sure enough, even with her nephew in hand, after this person entered the Zou Mansion, he still didn't toss less.
He didn't do the errands he ordered, but he frequently came to the door to ask him to help solve this and that, and carefully calculated the accounts, and he accepted this person at a loss.
If there is only these, Xi Fuwei is in Shen Weilan's mind, that is, a person with great ambition and talent, and he is overwhelmed.
However, during the days when Yu Kedi asked her to serve the study on her behalf, the talent and skills shown by this girl really surprised Shen Weilan.
Probably because girls can't take the imperial examination, Xi Fuwei herself has a very flat attitude towards this talent.
From the bottom of her heart, she felt that it was not a big deal.
But Shen Steallan has a kind, this is the sudden enlightenment of the person I am looking for.
Maybe he is not a peaceful person in his bones, so he can't mention the warm emotions of the gentle lady who keeps to himself.
For example, the tragic Yao Zhuosu, this girl knows his fiery love at a glance, but he is indifferent.
This kind of small jasper that can see the bottom at a glance, Shen Steallan is not disgusted, but she has no idea of having anything to do with her.
And the identity of the noble son, as well as the teachings of his elders since childhood, made him instinctively wary and alienated from ambitious and calculating women, for example, Fu Suixian.
As for Song Jianiang, who is a well-connected lady, Shen Weilan thinks...... Stupid.
It's not that he deliberately used insulting words to describe Song Jianiang, it's just that the second son of Shen who was trained by the court at a young age seems that with a father like Song Li and a background like Shangshufu, it is not easy for him to go to school, and he is not good at cultivating his books, but he has no help from the city government everywhere, this kind of woman who can only be parasitic in the powerful position of her father and brother and her husband in the future, he is really too lazy to greet her.
He's not interested in fools.
Whether it's a subordinate or a wife...... Or maybe the wife can't stand it even more.
After all, he can reprimand and replace his subordinates if they are too stupid, but the words of his wife, especially the wife who is in charge of the family, whether it is abandonment or divorce, it is not so simple.
The reason why the Shen family resolutely rejected Song Jianiang was his statement.
At the end of the day, he likes to be smart.
Even if the conduct may not be outstanding, it is even a little flawed in the eyes of the world...... Shen Weilan doesn't care.
In his opinion, Xi Fuwei's sometimes ruthlessness and calculation are the manifestations of her intelligence.
After all, it's good if stupid people don't take advantage of them, let alone take advantage of others.
Seeing that Xi Fuwei was silent at this moment, he paused, and said, "Not everyone wants to be the right person when they get married, you are really good." It's not just me who thinks so, why not Ouyang Yuanshui? Otherwise, you are not the only woman in Fen Zhilou's boudoir, why does he only pester you from beginning to end? β
In fact, among the three girls in Fen Zhilou, Xi Fuwei is the most difficult to get started.
Yao Zhuosu, who was born in an ordinary place and has no city government, is the best to coax, and at first glance he is the kind of person who will accept his fate as long as the raw rice is cooked and the rice is cooked; After the defeat of the squire, Fu Suixian seemed to be shrewd and cunning, but because the purpose of fishing for the golden beetle son-in-law was clear, as long as he met the standard of the golden beetle, it was easy to get started; is Xi Fuwei, who is a squire like Fu Suixian, but her family background is not ruined, she has surplus wealth, and she is worried about family feuds, her mind is the most complicated, her heart is the hardest, and she turns her face the fastest.
Ouyang Yuanshui helped to break the siege from the first time he met her, and although he kept trying to take advantage of her after that, he actually defended it sincerely.
That's it, Xi Fuwei refused without mercy.
Ouyang Yuanshui, who can be known as a romantic person, although he did not break off the scene with the beautiful women around him because of Xi Fuwei, among the three girls in Fenzhilou, he always chased Xi Fuwei and refused to let go.
Xi Fuwei herself was indifferent and indifferent, but Shen Steallan had already sent someone to check these things out before she realized her intentions for Xi Fuwei.
That's why she repeatedly warned Xi Fuwei to keep her distance from Ouyang Yuanshui.
"Isn't it because I was sent by an adult?" But Xi Fuwei thought for a moment, but asked, "He is interested in me, and he has been aiming at Jinyiwei from the beginning." β
"......" Shen Weilan was silent for a while, and said, "Maybe it was like this at first, but then what?" Later, you and he both knew each other's positions, and if he had anything to do, he could have come to me directly, so why did he have to pass the word through you? β
Xi Fuwei said: "Maybe I'm afraid that I can't finish the game if I tell you that I can't get it?" β
Shen Weilan shook his head: "I'm not an unreasonable person, not to mention that he has been in the Zou Mansion for many years but still sits firmly in the position of the son of the Zou family, this is not something that can be done by raising a name." β
When he said this, he suddenly felt stupid, he was going to force Xi Fuwei to say what he meant sincerely, why was he talking about Ouyang Yuanshui?
After settling down, he quickly got back to the point, "I don't think you are a self-indulgent person, what, do you think I definitely don't look down on you?" β
"I really don't want to be presumptuous." Xi Fuwei groaned, "But I don't think too highly of myself...... My lord, you and I are really too bad. Say what I am the righteous daughter of Song Shangshu, but what is going on with this righteous daughter, I am afraid that I know better than me. β
He also said, "The most important thing is that my lord, it is impossible for the Song family to really treat me as their own daughter, and my parents and brother are no longer there, and I still have a young nephew...... I can't leave this nephew behind, I have to take him with me. In this way, adults may be generous and don't care, but the adult's family has always attached great importance to adults, and will allow adults to put ten miles of red makeup, father's favorite mother's noble daughter not to marry, marrying me will drag down adults? β
