Chapter 112: The House and the Maid

In the cabin, Song Li lowered the curtain and quietly ordered the boat to start.

The old servant went out to pass the word, and because the ship was not large, he quickly lifted anchor and slowly shored the shore.

At this time, the young men and women on the dock had just finished saying goodbye, and one of them left with one foot deep and one foot shallow.

The remaining women, wrapped in cloaks, watched in the snow for a long time before returning to their boat.

"Xing Xingshou is really affectionate to the son of the Shen family." The old servant glanced at the deck from afar when he passed through the deck with tea, and said to Song Li after entering, "It's freezing this day, don't talk about it, the Wen family said that as long as she is willing to go to Dongchang Mansion to sit in town, the silver can be mentioned casually, but she still came to Jining." ”

He knew that Xing Xing was fine, so he sighed secretly and said, "He is also a hard-working person." ”

Xing Xingshou was not originally surnamed Xing, but this surname was changed after entering the industry with the bustard's mother.

Earlier, after being an official eunuch, the reason why he was in Goulan was, in the final analysis, because his father and brother were on the wrong side during the Battle of Jingjing.

Or rather, there was nothing wrong with her family.

For the sake of that loyalty, I would rather bear the price of the broken family and the death of my daughter's family in the land of fireworks.

Just like the one who was condemned to the Ten Tribes.

Song Li's master and servant did not dare to approve of such a temperament, but they did not have any disgust, and they were not without sympathy in private.

If Xing Xingshou's family was not so stubborn to the end, this girl's current status may not be below Song Jianiang.

"All these efforts have been in vain." Song Limo held the tea bowl and said, "Shen Stealing Lan is the right-hand man cultivated by the Shen family for the emperor's eldest grandson, and the Shen family will definitely not let him have anything to do with the bloodline of the criminal minister." ”

The most important thing is that "Shen Weilan himself knows this very well, and has always been careful to abide by the boundaries." Even if Xing Xingshou rushed over thousands of miles to dance for the opening of the river to attract high-rollers from all directions...... Shen Stealing Lan took care of some of them out of consideration for Jining and Kaihe. If you want to talk about anything else, it's basically nothing. ”

There was some sadness in his eyes, "The ancients said that outstanding children, like Yushu Zhilan, want to grow in their own courtyards. It's a pity that although I have seen a lot of Yaohuaqi grass over the years, my yard is full of ordinary flowers and grasses. Now it's easy to recognize a righteous girl, but she is also outstanding, but she may not be of the same mind as me. ”

The old servant was very surprised and said, "The son of the family is generous and filial, how can he be a flower and a vulgar grass?" As for the one you recognize...... Is the master actually so highly evaluated? ”

"A sixteen-year-old girl, helpless." Song Li said with some sarcasm, "I have a grudge with the Dingguo Mansion and Dongchang Gaomen, in this case, I, the Shangshu of the Ministry of Industry on the spot, took the initiative to recognize her as a righteous daughter, but I still dared to ask for justice for her father and brother, which shows the friendship and courage." If my daughter is half as smart and sensible as she is, does she need me to worry so much? ”

He exhaled, "Let's check the grievances between the Wen family and the Xi family, what's going on?" ”

The old servant agreed, and comforted him: "Since Miss Xi is a smart person, as long as the master takes care of it next, are you afraid that she won't be able to understand the master's sincerity?" When the time comes, I will naturally respect you as if you were your biological father. ”

After thinking about it, he reminded, "Since the master admires this Miss Xi quite a lot, then the lady asked us to bring over those maids arranged in the house?" ”

Those maids were specially selected by Song Li's wife, Jiang, who is Song Jianiang's biological mother, and you can imagine what kind of attitude she will have towards those who make her daughter unhappy.

So they are all thorns in the Song Mansion, one is more hob meat than the other, and they deliberately block Xi Fuwei.

These Song Li and the old servants all know it in their hearts.

I didn't pay attention to it earlier, because Song Li never expressed his attitude towards Xi Fuwei.

Now that the meaning of love is revealed, of course, the old servant must also change.

"No, you don't." However, Song Li shook his head when he heard this, and said, "So a few slaves and maids, I can't help this girl." ”

Seeing that the old servant didn't seem to believe it, he snorted slightly, "Although this girl is not from a high background, do you think she can escape from Dongchang Mansion to Yanzhou Mansion with her nephew...... Is it just relying on Shen Weilan's momentary compassion? ”

"She's killed more than one on the road."

Song Li said lightly, "Otherwise, with their aunt and nephew's appearance is so good, they are not a little ruthless, how can they go so far intact?" ”

Murder is really nothing to their master and servant.

People who have come to the point of Song Li, not to mention how much blood they have on their hands, the scene of bleeding and drifting is also so well-informed that they are numb.

You must know that 10 years ago was the Battle of Jingjing.

However, considering Xi Fuwei's growth experience and gender, as well as the performance of the other party when they met on the boat just now, the old servant couldn't help but sigh: "It's a pity, if this young lady is a man, ......."

"She and Wen Xianyun are a little bit not a family that doesn't mean that they don't enter the door." Song Li said, "This unmarried couple is very scheming, and Xi Fuwei lost in the final analysis in the family line. The Xi family is too far behind the Wen family! If the difference between the two forces was not large, she might not even need to flee with her nephew. I saw that Xianyun had been entangled with this fiancΓ©e during this time, and I was afraid that I regretted it a little. He is not a person without eyesight, he should know that such a girl, if he is subdued and concentric with him, the help may not be under an ordinary noble girl. ”

The old servant said tentatively: "Although the Wen family has long taken refuge in you, in the end, the daughter is closer. ”

"What is too easy to get is always unknown and cherished." Song Li said slowly, "Although I am not the kind of stingy person, but according to Xi Fuwei's suspicion, do you think I agreed to all kinds of conditions as soon as I came up, and I really treated her like a daughter, what would she think?" ”

Without waiting for the old servant to reply, he said, "She will never be grateful, or even if she is so moved on the surface, she must wonder if I am trying to kill her...... Let's take it slowly, whether it is Wen Xianyun or Xi Fuwei, they are very young, and there is nothing that they can't afford to survive for a few years. ”

Thinking of the matter of the selection of concubines in the East Palace complained by his son and daughter-in-law before leaving, the corners of his mouth twitched, "My biological daughter and granddaughter are actually not enough to be the wife of the sect, but this girl has that qualification." But after entering the palace, there are too many variables, so she still has some feelings for my Song family, and let's talk about this matter when the bond reaches a certain level. ”

"Didn't you say that Your Majesty doesn't seem to want to choose a concubine for the emperor's eldest grandson from among the important ministers?" The old servant was surprised, "And Miss Sun didn't even make it to the palace......"

Song Li said lightly: "Originally, I didn't think about it so much, but Xi Fuwei just said that Shen Weilan intended to recommend her to the crown princess." Although Shen Weilan meant to let her go to the other children of the crown princess to be a female official, as long as she entered the East Palace, everything was possible, wasn't it? ”

…… Xi Fuwei didn't know the plans of her father-in-law who she had just recognized, she followed Shen Weilan out of the dock with some difficulty with her things, and was ordered to stand in place and wait for a while.

After a while, Shen Weilan called a carriage and asked her to sit back alone: "I have something to go elsewhere." ”

"My lord, Lord Song, oh, my father-in-law gave his subordinates a house and let them live there, saying that it was for the sake of the Song family's face." Xi Fuwei hurriedly stopped him, "At that time, because my subordinates had already refused once, it was really difficult to refuse his kindness again." ”

When she said this, there was no happy expression on her face, and she was even a little irritated.

"Really?" Shen Steallan knew that Song Li planned to recognize Xi Fuwei as a righteous daughter, and the reason was known, but she didn't know that Song Li would send a house to this righteous girl, and said, "Where is it?" ”

Xi Fuwei looked for the deed from her sleeve: "It is said that it is not far from you, and there are a few maids already inside." ”

She found the deed and showed Shen Weilan the address, pursed her lips, and said in a low voice, "My lord, the maid of the Shangshu family...... I'm afraid that my subordinates won't be able to hold back, can I ask an adult to accompany my subordinates? ”

"......" Shen Weilan pondered for a while before saying, "Then let's go." ”

They took a carriage to the place together, and in order to avoid suspicion, Shen Steallan sat on the wheel with the coachman, which made Xi Fuwei a little unhappy, but this person said: "Since you are the righteous daughter of Lord Song, you are also a noble lady like Miss Song." The Song family and the Shen family are Shiyi, and I haven't driven the car for the sisters and sisters. ”

Xi Fuwei hurriedly explained that she was different from Song Jianiang, and the two pushed in the snow for a long time, and finally Shen Weilan was a little impatient: "This time has come for politeness, do you want to help?" Or I'll go straight back to myself? ”

In this way, Xi Fuwei carried her skirt and got into the carriage.

The house given by Song Li is actually similar to that where Shen Qianlan lives, but the courtyard is more spacious, and there is a small garden with rockery and flowing water on the side.

Before people enter the garden, they can smell the cold fragrance even on the side of the courtyard.

This house seems to be deserted for a while, the railings, doors and windows are relatively old, but the furniture is still complete.

It was a few maids sent by the Song family in advance, and they were very slack.

First of all, when Xi Fuwei and Shen Weilan arrived, they knocked on the door for a long time, and then someone came to open it with a kick, and after opening the door, they interrogated them for a long time like a thief, and this was still the case when Xi Fuwei showed the deed.

After letting them in, he asked about Shen Zhaolan's identity again.

Xi Fuwei was a little annoyed: "What does it have to do with you?" My father-in-law said that he asked you to come and serve me, but I haven't asked you about the details, but you have asked about me? ”

The maid squinted at her, and wanted to laugh or not: "Yo, miss, what are you angry with the slave?" Slave maid isn't it for your own good? After all, you were just the daughter of a rich man before, and our lord was a member of the court, and the Ministry of Industry was still a scholar! Can the rules of this Shangshufu be compared with those of the rich man? This should be the appearance of a noble lady from Tianfu, can it be the female dependents you have come into contact with before? The slave and maid ask you a long and short question, it's not that you don't think your biological parents are gone, and the old lady is not around now, so I don't give you a strict pass, if something goes wrong, you lose face and do nothing, what can you do if you affect the reputation of Shangshufu? ”

"......" Xi Fuwei didn't look at her, only looked at Shen Weilan.

Shen Weilan looked ahead and said lightly: "I haven't heard that the Song family has any special rules. ”

The maid snorted, glanced at him and didn't speak, probably guessed who it was, and looked at Xi Fuwei's eyes with more and more disdain.

"My subordinates know." Xi Fuwei understood that Shen Weilan's words were hinting to herself, there was a difference between master and servant, and there was no need to be suppressed by this maid.

She knew it in her heart, so she didn't pay attention to the maid's muttering, looked back and forth for a while, and then thanked Shen Weilan for accompanying her.

Shen Weilan said: "You still have something over there, do you go and get it yourself, or do you have someone send it back for you?" ”

Xi Fuwei said: "It's too old here, you have to clean it up." I'd better go back there for a while, and when the spring snow melts and there are more workers, I'll hire some to come and sweep and repair them, and then move over. ”

"The construction of the river will start soon, and Your Majesty will inevitably send out all the forced forces in Shandong and Zuojin." Shen Weilan reminded her, "At that time, it is estimated that no one will be able to do these things." ”

Xi Fuwei said that she knew that she would pay attention to the time, but she thought in her heart, I was stupid to really move here!
