After a while, a steward brought seven or eight thirteen or fourteen-year-old little maids over and asked Xi Fuwei to choose someone to serve.

Because she didn't know anything about them, and she had the eye to look at the eyeliner, Xi Fuwei casually ordered a delicate-looking and neatly dressed one.

I heard the steward say that this maid was called "Lusha", and he didn't bother to change his name, so he shouted like this.

After greeting and sending off the steward and the rest of the people, Xi Fuwei said a few words to Lu Sha, asked her to give Fu Suixian a salute, and took the new maid back to the room to rest.

She and Fu Qiuxian are currently living upstairs, with the middle corridor as the boundary, one east and one west of the two suites, Fu Suixian has occupied the east side, and she entered the west side.

Although Zou Mansion is still suspected of monitoring and guarding against the female gentleman, the treatment is indeed not bad, and the furnishings on this upstairs are not much worse than the boudoir when Xi Fuwei was in the Xi family.

Although it is only a small piece, this spice has always been precious, and it is enough to be able to appear here.

Xi Fuwei didn't like burning incense, and secretly praised when she saw this, and said in her heart that everyone is everyone, and the Xi family is also rich, but there is definitely no such luxury, and she will send agarwood incense to the Xixi who was hired.

She looked around for a while, and said to Lu Sha with a smile: "I just came, I don't know the rules of Zou Mansion yet, if there is anything wrong, please remind me more." ”

Lu Sha said respectfully: "Madame sent a slave to serve you, from now on you are the master of the slave and maid, and the slave and maid will serve with all their heart." ”

Xi Fuwei praised her a few words, touched a silver hairpin from her sleeve as a greeting gift, Lu Sha excused herself before accepting it, and told her something about the Zou Mansion, which was actually similar to what Fu Xuanxian said, nothing more than what people were in the Zou Mansion, and what relatives were in the blood of the close.

Regarding the origin of Mrs. Shang, she said in more detail than Fu Suixian, and said: "Madame's ancestors and Zou Fu's ancestors have an old relationship, so I will bring Mrs. over back then." ”

But as for how there is an old law, and what exactly does Mrs. Shang's maiden family do...... But she didn't say anything.

Xi Fuwei was not curious, but as soon as she landed down, she inquired about the details of the master's house, which was really not good, so she didn't ask, but asked Zou Qiongruo in detail about her preferences and temperament.

These are all the students she is about to teach, and she is serious and responsible to inquire about the situation, even if the Zou family knows about it, they won't think much about it.

However, what Lu Sha said is the same as what Fu Suixian said, that is, Zou Qiongruo is under the teaching of Mrs. Shang, although she is young, she is very sensible, without arrogance and willfulness, and is extremely well-behaved.

Lu Sha probably thought that Xi Fuwei was afraid that the age gap between her and the students was not big, and she would not be able to suppress these young ladies, and comforted: "The young ladies are very studious, and they have long wanted a gentleman to give guidance." ”

Xi Fuwei smiled and prevaricated a few words, and when twilight came, she heard the sound of someone walking briskly up the stairs, and then someone knocked on the door on their side, and asked in a crisp voice, "Mr. Shen?" Mr. Shen? It's about to be dinner, does Mr. Shen come down to the flower hall to use it, or do you ask someone to bring it to you? ”

"I'll go down now." Xi Fuwei hurriedly raised her voice and replied, and then stood up, "Let's go down!" ”

When she arrived at the flower hall below, Fu Suixian was already waiting here, she supported her cheek with one hand, tilted her head and smiled at Xi Fuwei: "Have you cleaned up?" Want to help? ”

Xi Fuwei also smiled: "Sister Lao is worried, it's almost over...... After all, I don't have anything to look at, and I don't have much to put in it. ”

"With such a background of ours, it is already God's mercy to be able to be a female gentleman here peacefully!" Fu Suixian nodded knowingly and said, "But now that we have a place to settle down and the responsibility of a gentleman, it will always get better and better in the future." ”

Xi Fuwei nodded yes.

After they talked for a while, Fu Qiuxian raised his chin at the person who had just gone up to call for dinner, and said, "This is the red mushroom that serves me." ”

Hearing this, Xi Fuwei smiled at Hongzhi and nodded: "I'm tired of you." ”

"Don't dare, it was Mr. Fu who asked the slave to go up and tell him." Hongzhi hurriedly said, "Both gentlemen are very talented and learned, and it is the blessing of slaves and maids to be able to serve left and right." ”

"Zou Mansion is everyone, and an ordinary subordinate is so good at talking." Xi Fuwei exchanged glances with Fu Suixian when she heard this, although she didn't say it, she had this meaning in her eyes.

After dinner, the two of them said a few words and then dispersed.

When parting, Xi Fuwei asked about the time of the lesson, and Fu Suixian said: "I came early, and I have already begun to instruct a few young ladies on the techniques. Sister Shen, you just came over, someone will come to inform you tomorrow. ”

He also told her that the place where she taught was in a courtyard not far from Fen Zhi Lou, "That place is a bungalow, but the place is very large, there is a garden of half an acre of land in front and back, and a fish pond, and there should be lotus flowers in the pond, but it has withered in this season." If it's summer, it's going to be beautiful. ”

There was a little nostalgia in her tone, "When my father was still there, there was such a pool at home. It's a pity that the family fell into the middle of the road later, and even the little lotus root in the pond was dug up to pay off the debt. ”

Xi Fuwei felt a little fluctuating in her heart when she heard this, remembering that when Xi Zongwang and Xi Fuguang were both in the past, although her biological mother went early, she didn't have the concept of "mother" for many years, but the family of four lived happily...... In the garden at that time, there were lotus flowers everywhere and koi fish gathered.

Biting the tip of his tongue, he forced himself to calm down, comforted Fu Suixian a few words, said something such as "It will be better in the future", and got up and went back to the room.

There was nothing to say this night, and the next morning, Zou Mansion really had a steward come over, and first politely asked Xi Fuwei if she was used to living and whether she was satisfied with Lusha, and after receiving a positive answer, she talked about the teaching.

In the end, the two sides discussed and decided to open the museum again on a later day.

Xi Fuwei inquired about the level of Zou Qiongruo and the others, and the steward said with a smile: "The family has not invited gentlemen for the ladies before, and the ladies have to give them some advice, so even if the ladies know some words, they also remember the bits and pieces, and I have to ask Mr. to bother more!" ”

The implication is that although Zou Qiongruo is a girl and does not need to participate in the imperial examination, Mrs. Shang also hopes that they can learn something in a serious way, don't think that it is enough to teach them to read and write.

"Madame doesn't think I'm ugly, dare not do my best?" Xi Fuwei nodded, sent the steward away, and began to prepare for class...... The books she used to follow Xi Fuguang to study were all left in Xi's house, and she didn't bring any of them out, but Zou Mansion was well prepared, and next to the flower hall downstairs, there was a small study, although the place was not big, but the basic books were available, and the four treasures of the study room were also prepared for use.

Xi Fuwei recalled the situation when she was a child, went down and took a few books, and compared the situation of Xi Fuguang giving lectures to herself, and made some notes on the revisions.

Speaking of which, she has no experience in teaching people, and she doesn't know if she will mislead people's children...... However, the current situation is not to be retreated at all, and it can only be hard-headed.

At noon, Fu Qiuxian came back with the lyre.

Xi Fuwei heard the movement upstairs, so she put away her pen and ink and went down to say hello.

"Sister Shen!" Fu Suixian saw her and smiled, "Is the time for you to enter the museum?" ”

"It's decided, I'll go over tomorrow, and I have to ask my sister to take care of me." Xi Fuwei walked over and wanted to help her catch the piano, but Fu Suixian shook her head, put the piano on a special piano table next to her, and explained, "This is when my father was alive, he specially asked someone to bring it from Jiangnan, and I don't like others to touch it." ”

Xi Fuwei hurriedly apologized.

Fu Suixian smiled and said, "You have good intentions, just don't think I'm difficult to get along with." ”

The two exchanged politeness, and Xi Fuwei saw that there seemed to be some trouble between her eyebrows, so she asked with concern.

Fu Suixian hesitated for a moment before saying, "It's nothing...... It's just that a few young ladies have been absent from school for the past two days. I'm wondering, should I tell my wife? But what I said, according to the temper of the lady, eighty percent of them will punish the young ladies, which makes me hesitate again. ”

Xi Fuwei was very surprised when she heard this, and said, "Sister, you didn't mean that a few young ladies are sexual. Are all the children excellent? ”

"The sex of several young ladies. The sub is certainly good. Fu Xuanxian said angrily, "But at a young age, he doesn't get rid of the temper of a child...... is a little playful, originally under Mrs. Shang's upbringing, she was also well-behaved and obedient, and never spoke back. Isn't this the Zou Gongzi? He asked the old lady to pet and protect him, and he was idle when he saw the sky, and he did his homework for three days of fishing, and two days of drying nets, and he just paid it back! As a result, I don't know what to think in the past two days, but I have frequently visited a few young ladies! ”

"If he's just listening to the lecture next to him, that's fine!"

But after listening to it for a short time, he lost interest, and muttered to this one for a while, and pulled that noisy for a while...... The young ladies who were introduced were all out of minds, and they were all in Cao Ying's heart! I thought about whether I could condone this situation, so I said a few words in a roundabout way, and guess what? ”

Xi Fuwei said: "Could it be that he is angry?" ”

remembered the day he accepted Mrs. Shang's assessment, this Zou Yiang was also sudden, and he was vigorously picking on the thorns...... This situation can't be said to be how arrogant he is, and it doesn't seem like something easy to get along with.

disturbed Fu Qiuxian's teaching, but Fu Qiuxian was not allowed to remind him, he may not be able to do such a thing.

"Not really." Fu Suixian shook her head, "When I promised to come into the mansion to be a Xixi seat before, I was worried about the temper of these young ladies and sons, so I agreed with Mrs. Shang: If the disciple refuses to be taught, I will not bear the reputation of the misguided children...... Mrs. Shang personally promised at that time that if Miss Zou, the son of Zou, and they were proud of themselves and did not respect our gentlemen, just tell her or the people around her, and she would personally tell her children what the rules are! ”

sighed, "That boy has a very good attitude, and he left with the ceremony at that time, and I was relieved to see this!" Who knew that he turned his head and instigated Miss Zou and a few of them to skip class! ”

Xi Fuwei was surprised: "This Zou Gongzi ...... I don't think he is hostile to a few Miss Zou, how could he do such a thing? ”

Although at this time, there are still words that women are virtuous if they are not talented, but the female dependents of rich and noble families, there are no illiterate hyphenation, after all, if you don't know one big word, don't say anything else, you can't read the account book, how to take care of the family?

Then he said, "Sister, can't you tell your lady like this?" ”

"Who knows about him?" Fu Suixian smiled bitterly and said, "If you tell Madame, Madam will definitely take care of it immediately!" The question is, isn't there an old lady in this house? The one who usually looks kind and amiable, but once it comes to Zou Gongzi's heart, he can be unreasonable anytime and anywhere! If I did, I'd offend her! ”

Xi Fuwei was also distressed when she heard this, after all, she was going to enter the museum to give lectures from tomorrow, if the students were instigated by Zou Yiang to skip class...... When the time comes, she will be alone in front of the empty classroom, this?

"Did Zou Gongzi do this in the past two days?" She thought for a moment and muttered, "Is there some reason?" For example, a misunderstanding or something...... My sister tried to talk to him from the bottom of her heart, and asked if she was inside? ”

Fu Qiuxian looked at her and smiled slightly: "I want to!" It's just that...... Although I don't have any other ideas, I can't stand that I am only a few years older than that Zou Gongzi, and I rushed to find it, how can I have a clear conscience, other people, and Zou Gongzi himself, may not think so? ”

Xi Fuwei understood what she meant, and said, "Everyone is here to do Xixi in Zou Mansion, and the students are not in class, how can this Xixi continue?" If my sister doesn't dislike it, choose a time, let's go together? ”

"You're going to enter the museum tomorrow." Fu Xuanxian bowed, "Why don't you wait?" ”

He said, "That boy doesn't look like a good talker, so we have to think about how to open our mouths after we see him." ”
