Chapter 35 Misunderstanding?
"It's just a false alarm!" After a little groaning, Xi Fuwei said slowly, "It's not worth taking it to heart, just ask the lady and the old lady to concentrate on greeting the guests." ”
The steward said, "Mr. Shen is really magnanimous. ”
Because of the effort of these few words, some people around have already looked at it, and it is inconvenient for the steward to stay for a long time, so Tuan Tuan made a gesture and left.
After she left, the people nearby knocked on the side of Xi Fuwei to inquire about the news, Xi Fuwei was just perfunctory, about her identity and the relationship with the Zou family, but she didn't miss a word: she chose to sit here, the picture is that no one knows here, but she didn't come to meet people!
didn't know that the steward went back to tell Mrs. Shang, but Mrs. Shang misunderstood and said: "When this Mr. Shen entered the door before, Yiang also suspected her of entering the Zou Mansion because of her beauty. Now it seems that he is much more noble than Mr. Fu...... On such a cold day, a girl can jump into the lake to save people so decisively, Mr. Fu's plan today is something that everyone can see. Little Miss Yao looked ignorant, and walked with her, probably being used by her as a green leaf. However, Mr. Shen's talent is not something that Mr. Fu can hide. She specifically bypassed Mr. Fu's seat and went to a table that no one knew and didn't eye, eighty percent didn't have the same mind as Mr. Fu, and she didn't want to offend Mr. Fu, so she hid. ”
He ordered, "Tell everyone below to watch, don't let people disturb Mr. Shen again!" ”
The steward copied his hand and said yes, and asked: "The master is very angry at this time, saying that he wants to punish the son......?" ”
"What kind of occasion is this!" Mrs. Shang furrowed her brows, "When I don't want to smoke this kid?" Isn't this afraid of sweeping away the joy of the birthday banquet!? Let him calm down! ”
As for Zou Yiang, Mrs. Shang took a deep breath and was about to speak, but she saw the red-clothed girl who was starry and moonlit not far away put down the wine bottle, looked around, and the field suddenly quieted down, only she said clearly: "Our sisters have seen many scenery that they have never seen before, but they have never had time to contact sisters who are like their age. I am very grateful for the hospitality of your house. But I don't know if I can also get to know the ladies in Yanzhou? ”
"Miss Xu's words have tormented our family." The silver-haired old lady Zhuang hurriedly said, "The two big men are here, our family is really shining, where is there any presumptuousness?" ”
As for Xu Jingyuan wanting to get to know the lady who came to congratulate the Zou Mansion in Yanzhou today, the old lady will not stop her, this is a good time for the families to have a relationship with the Dingguo Mansion and the Ministry of Industry, even if the Zou family is a big family in Yanzhou, they are not so desperate to offend people.
The news that Dingguo Gong's sister took the initiative to know Yanzhou Lady quickly spread at the table, and everyone up and down was surprised and happy, but Xi Fuwei sighed secretly: "These two, if you don't see me, you won't stop!" ”
It's just to her surprise that after a while, when she mixed in the team and went to toast Xu Jingyuan and Song Jianiang, after Mrs. Shang introduced her identities on the side, the two of them certainly said "oh", looked her up and down, and exchanged tacit looks, but they didn't say anything else, only said lightly: "Mr. Shen is Xiuwai Huizhong at a glance." ”
The perfunctory tone can be heard by the deaf.
However, everyone thinks it is normal, regarding the difference in the status of the two sides, Xu Jingyuan is willing to say something, which is already very face-saving for Xi Fuwei.
Even after returning to their seats, there were people who cast jealous glances in concealment...... You must know that although the two nobles said that they wanted to meet the ladies of Yanzhou, not everyone got a special greeting.
Xi Fuwei didn't have time to pay attention to these gazes, frowned, and secretly wondered: "Could it be that these two said they wanted to come and see me...... Is it really just a matter of face-to-face care? ”
She thought it was unlikely.
If you just want to see with your own eyes what kind of person Xi Fuwei is, according to the identities of Xu Jingyuan and Song Jianiang, either one of them quietly gives an order, which is enough for Xi Fuwei to take the initiative to send it to the door for them to visit.
Why work to the point of coming to the door to congratulate a strange old lady in person?
"They must have bad intentions." Xi Fuwei groaned, "Fang Cai didn't make things difficult for me in front of everyone, and he also had some scruples when he thought about it, and he didn't want to lose his reputation in order to deal with me...... Privately, but I don't know what kind of means they will use? ”
Because of the disparity in identity, the other party has too many choices.
The simplest, hint at Zou Mansion, see that this Mr. Shen in your family is not pleasing to the eye, and Zou Mansion treats Mr. Female gentlemen well, how can he offend the magnates of Ying Tianfu for the sake of people who are not relatives?
or let the entourage bribe the people of the Zou Mansion and secretly attack;
It can also spread rumors and kill people invisibly...... The more Xi Fuwei thought about it, the more her face sank like water, and she didn't even feel in the mood to be in a state of weakness and grievance with the people around her, she just sat there and drank tea with her mind in mind, thinking about all kinds of possibilities and countermeasures.
This situation is considered arrogant by those who sit at the table.
"We are all serious young lady's family, she is a broken household, relying on the face of Zou Mansion to be qualified to sit with us, but now she has only a kind word from Miss Xu, is she actually on the shelf?" Sexual. After the girl who was more anxious said this, everyone was a little annoyed, so they left her and ignored her, and talked to themselves.
Xi Fuwei couldn't ask for this situation, she was feeling clean, and she didn't want to suddenly stretch out a hand behind her and pull her sleeve.
"You are?" When she looked back, she saw that it was a maid with a raw face, and she was slightly stunned.
"Mr. Shen, Childe wants to invite you out for a while." The maid blessed her and whispered, "Just for a moment." ”
Xi Fuwei narrowed her eyes and looked at her for a while with her eyes flashing, before she stood up in the maid's somewhat overwhelmed expression: "Go!" ”
You can't avoid this level today, so it doesn't matter who comes or whose banner you want...... This trip is inevitable.
Xi Fuwei thought a little indifferently: "I don't know what battle those two nobles have prepared for me?" ”
However, after arriving outside, under the leadership of the maid, he walked towards a secluded place, and as he walked, Zou Yiang was really pacing there alone.
"You're here!" When Zou Yiang saw her, he secretly breathed a sigh of relief, hurriedly ran to the side, and in a moment took a small and delicate food box from behind a bush of holly, and urged while opening it, "Hurry up, drink quickly!" Let people see me, and I'll be finished! ”
Xi Fuwei is now full of vigilance, looking at everyone as if she was bought by Xu Jingyuan and Song Jianiang, where is she willing to import such an unknown thing?
took a step back at the moment, shook his head and said, "Thank you, Childe!" But we were already full at the table. ”
"What are those dishes?" Zou Yiang said, "This is a nourishing decoction that my grandmother only takes once every few days, and the medicine is a 500-year-old wild ginseng, which is the most nourishing!" ”
Rao is Xi Fuwei is now very vigilant, and she smiled a little angrily when she heard this: "Childe, at the age of the old lady, I still take the tonic decoction every once in a while, how old am I, and you want me to drink it?" ”
"The reason why my grandmother only eats it every once in a while is because it is difficult to find old ginseng that is old! I'm afraid that eating every day will break off! Zou Yiang looked at the expression of the country bun, "Just now I climbed the window to go to my grandmother's house, smashed three locks to steal a little old ginseng to make medicine...... Don't rub it off, drink it while it's hot, I've asked people, and they all said that if you drink this decoction, you won't fall ill! ”
"Smash three locks...... the corners of Xi Fuwei's mouth twitched, "Are you really not afraid of being hung up and beaten by the old lady?" ”
Zou Yiang waved his hand: "It's okay!" When my grandmother went back and saw it, she knew I did it! In order not to let me be beaten, she will definitely hide it! Besides, what are you going to do for your body? ”
If it weren't for Xu Jingyuan and Song Jianiang who hadn't left until now, Xi Fuwei would have almost been moved!
"Thank you Zou Gongzi for your kindness, but I can only understand it." She pursed the corners of her lips and said, "I just went down to the lake for a while, and I went back to Fenzhi Building to clean up, and now it is almost fine, and I don't need such a precious decoction at all...... Zou Gongzi should take it to honor the old lady! After all, today's matter, Ling Zun Lingtang already knows, and now that the birthday banquet is still going on, he won't do anything to you, and he will inevitably get to the bottom of it when he turns around, and if he knows the filial piety of the son, he can also be lightly dismissed, right? ”
Of course, she said this because she suspected that this bowl of soup had been manipulated, but Zou Yiang didn't know it, she was very moved, and said guiltily: "I have made a lot of fun of you before, and you still put yourself in my shoes...... It seems that I have lost my eyes, although you are usually a little cunning and deceitful, you are actually a good person with a kind heart! ”
Xi Fuwei smirked: "Don't say these polite words!" Son, hurry up and give it to the old lady, otherwise the soup will be cold, and the old lady will feel uncomfortable drinking, but it will be self-defeating! ”
"I've already stolen the wild ginseng anyway." Zou Yiang hurriedly said, "I'll wait and then ask someone to stew a bowl for my grandmother, you still drink this bowl, right?" ”
He was not surprised by Xi Fuwei's reaction, but said that he really didn't guess wrong, there was something wrong with this decoction, so how could he take it to Mrs. Zhuang?
That's going to have to make her drink!
"I'm a female gentleman from Zou Mansion, and I'm here to teach my son's sisters." Xi Fuwei looked at him and said slowly, "Naturally, you have to lead by example!" How can you know that the medicine of this bowl of soup in Childe's hand was stolen, and still drink it as usual? ”
She said solemnly, "If I do this, what face will I have to teach Miss Zou in the future?" Please don't embarrass me! ”
Next, no matter how Zou Yiang persuaded her, she put on a posture of "the old lady is a good gentleman with noble conduct", and refused to agree.
“…… Forget it, if you feel bad in the future, just come and tell me. After a while, Zou Yiang, who had a dry mouth, finally gave up, drank the decoction that was already a little cold, and said stupidly, "I'll help you get a doctor...... You're really stupid to say it, and you didn't even know if I really fell before I jumped. Even if I fell, my personal servant didn't go to the lake to save me, what are you doing so desperately for a female gentleman who has only been in the house for a few days? ”
Xi Fuwei looked at the empty bowl in his hand and was stunned for a moment, and said in her heart, could she have thought too much? Zou Yiang simply came to thank himself, not by the instructions of whom?
But anyway, she didn't want to drink the tonic decoction that Old Madam Zhuang drank at that age, so she turned her head and put it away.
When I heard the words at this moment, I said: "First, I am quite confident in my own water nature; Second, I am afraid that if something happens to you, I will be nearby, and I will not be able to get out of it, and I will not be able to stay in this mansion. ”
"It's the truth." Zou Yiang nodded, and asked her what she wanted.
Xi Fuwei naturally shook her head, Zou Yiang originally wanted to ask, but the maid who invited Xi Fuwei to come over looked at the time and said to him: "Son, you should go to the banquet and kowtow to the old lady!" ”
He could only leave first, and before leaving, he earnestly told Xi Fuwei: "If you have anything you want, just say it!" Don't look at my father and mother beating me without mercy, the Zou family is just me a male heir, it's easy for me to get something! ”
Xi Fuwei just smiled.
After this person left, she thought for a while, and felt that since she had already toasted with Xu Jingyuan and Song Jianiang, and these two had no intention of tearing their faces with her in public, there was no need to go to the banquet to waste time, it was better to go back to Fenzhi Building to take care of it.
I didn't want to take a few steps in the direction of Fen Zhi Building, and suddenly saw the oncoming person, her face changed suddenly!
