063 The Arrival of Master Shi [Second Update]
King Yu squinted and looked at Master Shi coldly, not understanding what he meant, "Master Shi, this king doesn't understand what you mean." β
Master Shi is the father of the general of the hussars, and King Yu is just an idle king, so he naturally wants to give Master Shi some face.
"Hey, didn't Mrs. Fu talk to you, Lord Wang? A few days ago, Miss Fu had already made a marriage contract with my son, and now Miss Fu is the future general's wife, how can she marry Guo Gongzi again? Master Shi smiled and narrowed his eyes, and his already small eyes were even more invisible at this time, only one line.
King Yu's face suddenly changed slightly, and he looked at Shuangzhi coldly, "Master Shi, your Shi family and the Fu family have always been incompatible, and they will also marry?" β
Master Shi smiled, "Misunderstanding, this is definitely a misunderstanding!" Lord Wang, our Shi family and the Fu family are world friends, but I and Master Fu love to quarrel, and in the eyes of others, it is so incompatible. β
Yu Wang pursed his lips, he was thinking about how many of this Master Shi's words were true, if Fu Shuangzhi was really Shi Tuo's fiancΓ©e, then he would have to stop the Fu family, he didn't want to tear his face with Shi Tuo now, and he wasn't ready to fight against Shi Tuo, Shi Tuo had the entire Qi force in his hands, and he also wanted to win over Shi Tuo to become his own.
Damn it!
Master Fu was stunned when he listened to it, when did Shuangzhi and Shi Tuo get married? How did he not know?
"Old man Shi, you ......"
Master Fu was about to open his mouth to reprimand Master Shi, but he was immediately bumped by Mrs. Fu's elbow and closed his mouth in a knowing manner.
Mrs. Fu said with a smile, "What Master Shi said is that our two families are world friends, so how can we be incompatible." β
King Yu didn't miss the unfinished words of Master Fu just now, he looked at Master Shi suspiciously, then at Shuangzhi, and said coldly, "Since this king can't be a matchmaker, but Master Shi, this king is ready to drink this wine."
"It must be, when the time comes, I must invite the prince to drink three hundred cups." Master Shi was not afraid of the king's suspicion, anyway, he had planned to come to the door to propose marriage in the past two days.
King Yu snorted, threw off his sleeves and left, if today was just a temporary plan that Master Shi came up with to save the Fu family, then Shi Tuo would not marry Fu Shuangzhi, and when the time comes, he will definitely have to pay the price for the Fu family!
Guo Jing stayed where he was, what? That's it? The prince let the Fu family go like this?
"Guo Gongzi, the 100,000 taels?" The man in black walked up to Guo Jing and asked in a low voice.
Master Shi took out a stack of silver tickets from his arms, "Guo Gongzi, this is 100,000 taels." β
Guo Jing laughed a few times, even the prince didn't dare to offend the Shi family, how could his Guo family not understand current affairs? That Uncle Shi is a general, and he can pinch their Guo family to death with one finger.
"Master Shi, don't ...... Fifty thousand taels is enough, they must have miscalculated, miscalculated. Guo Jing, who has always been a bully, rarely bent down once, and after taking the 50,000 taels of silver tickets handed over by Master Shi, he kicked the big man in black hard, "Don't get out of here." β
"Master Shi, sit down, let's go first."
After Guo Jing and the others left, Master Fu breathed a sigh of relief, sat down on the chair, and glanced at Fu Minxun sharply.
Mrs. Fu gave a big gift to Master Shi, "Master Shi, today our Fu family has inherited a great favor from you. β
Master Shi hurriedly turned sideways and did not accept the salute, "Mrs. Fu, what are you talking about, you and I are married, and I am just telling the truth." β
"Wait, Old Man Shi, when did I promise to marry my daughter to your son?" Master Fu stood up and glared at Master Shi inexplicably.
Master Shi smiled, "Didn't the old lady mention it to you?" I have already proposed to the old lady, and the old lady agreed. β
"What? Why don't I know? This marriage doesn't count, it doesn't count! "What are you kidding, how can her baby daughter marry Shi Tuo who is such a big boss.
Mrs. Fu looked at Master Fu speechlessly, he was fasting and not a monk, and he didn't want to think that if it wasn't for Master Shi just now, Shuangzhi would have been forced to marry into the Guo family, or the Fu family would have nothing.
"Dad, doesn't King Yu still want to drink the wedding wine of our two families? If you don't give Shuangzhi to Uncle Shi, then King Yu will have to deal with our family again. Fu Minxun spoke timidly next to him.
Master Fu's eyes widened, "What kind of cleverness are you shaking now, if it weren't for you, would things have come to this point?" β
"Master, that's not what I said, those people have the intention of framing Minxun at all, if our family hadn't offended the prince before, there wouldn't have been ......" Aunt Liu, who had already heard some clues, was angry and said justice for her son, but before she finished speaking, Master Fu had already swept it down.
"Unrepentant, you dare to say that you don't know that Min Hoon put the money? You mother and son, withdraw from the mansion from today, I don't want to see you again! Master Fu shouted.
"Master"
"Daddy"
Aunt Liu covered her cheeks and looked at Master Fu in disbelief.
Mrs. Fu sighed, and asked people to take Aunt Liu and Fu Minxun down first, Master Shi was still present, the so-called family ugliness was not publicized, and if she continued to talk about it, it would only make others laugh.
Aunt Liu still wanted to defend herself and her son, but when she saw Master Fu's expression, she didn't dare to say more, so she pulled Fu Minxun back to the backyard first.
Fu Minsheng's clenched fists loosened and tightened, and he didn't know what he was thinking, he took a deep look at Shuangzhi and turned to leave.
"Old man Shi, you take the 50,000 taels of silver, our Fu family has inherited a favor from you, and we will definitely keep it in mind, but if I want to sell my daughter, it will definitely not work." Fuman was angry, if Shuangzhi was married to Shi Tuo because of this, Shuangzhi would definitely be looked down upon by the people of the Shi family in the future, he was such a daughter, and he must not wronged her.
"Fumando, aren't you a villain's belly? I am sincere to propose, not to ask you to return any favors, you can rest assured, I will definitely mention the 50,000 taels, and I will officially come to the door to propose marriage in a few days, you say okay? Master Shi said in a consultative tone, he has always envied Fumanduo that Shuangzhi has such a smart daughter, where is it like his two rude and willful daughters, so a long time ago, he thought that it would be good if one day he could make Shuangzhi his daughter-in-law, but he was always from the Fu family, he was embarrassed to propose, and now that he is good, his son has become a general, and he is worthy of their Fu family.
"Who's the villain? Who said that my daughter must marry your Shi family? Master Fu shouted, in fact, he also knew in his heart that now only the Shi family can protect the Fu family from being framed by King Yu, but marrying a daughter like this is really a wretch.
"Master Shi, thank you no matter what happens today, the family affairs of our two families cannot be solved in one day, why don't you choose an auspicious day and then propose marriage, we have also asked the old lady's opinion?" Mrs. Fu glanced at Master Fu, turned her head and smiled at Master Shi.
"In that case, then I'll go back first, and go to choose an auspicious day first." Master Shi laughed.
Mrs. Fu politely responded and asked several nurses to move 50,000 taels of silver to the Shi family, but Master Shi did not refuse, although he didn't care about the 50,000 taels, but if he didn't take it, it was estimated that he really didn't have to be in-laws with the Fu family.
Not long after Master Shi left, the maid in the old man's house came to pass the word, saying that the old lady wanted to see the old lady and the girl.
Master Fu and Mrs. Fu glanced at each other, worried about today's events, did the old lady know? Will that irritate the old lady's condition?
Before they had time to think about it, they had already gone straight to the old lady's house.
Fu Minxiu looked at Shuangzhi with pity, feeling sorry for the grievances she suffered today.
Shuangzhi met Fu Minxiu's gaze and chuckled, "Big brother, why do you look at me like this?" I'm fine, let's go, let's go see the old lady. β
"Otherwise, let's go to my father to come forward, anyway, my father is also a political envoy." Mu Qingying spoke on the side.
"No, although my uncle is a political envoy, he can't fight against the prince, if he pulls his uncle into the water, it will only hurt his uncle." Shuangzhi refused without hesitation.
"But ......" Mu Qingying bit her lip, she couldn't help anything at home, and she didn't feel comfortable.
Fu Minxiu sighed, "Shuangzhi is right, although King Yu has no power, he is always the prince, and his uncle can't deal with him at all, let's go see the old lady first." β
When she arrived at the old lady, the old lady had already let Qin Niang sit on the Taishi chair with her, her face was sallow, there was no look between her eyebrows and eyes, and even her body looked a little rickety.
"What's going on at home?" The old lady's voice was weak, and she was already a little weak, so that their noses couldn't help but sour when they heard it.
Master Fu gritted his teeth and said warmly, "Mother, there is nothing to do, you can recuperate with peace of mind, don't worry so much." β
The old lady coughed a few times, and her voice was even more hoarse, as if the white that appeared overnight hung on her wrinkled neck, "Don't think I'm old, I'm confused, I don't know anything, say!" I'm like this, and there are still some storms that I can't bear. β
Master Fu and Mrs. Fu looked at each other, and finally Mrs. Fu sighed and briefly said what King Yu was doing to deal with the Fu family, although she had tried her best to say it lightly, but the old lady still knew what kind of predicament the Fu family was facing.
The old lady's eyes were no longer as clear as before, and after listening to the lady's words, she was silent for a long time, and her eyes fell on Shuangzhi, "Let Shuangzhi marry Shi Tuo!" β
"Mother......" Master Fu wanted to speak in disagreement.
The old lady cut off his words, "The Fu family can't be defeated!" It's the only way! β
Master Fu still wanted to refute, but he also knew that if he didn't do anything, King Yu would still not let them go.
A helpless smile appeared on Shuangzhi's lips, they were deciding her life's events, deciding her life, but no one asked her if she wanted to.
There was faint anger in Fu Minxiu's eyes, but it was more distressed, he always knew Shuangzhi best, "Shuangzhi, are you willing to marry into the Shi family?" β
When he asked, everyone in the room drew their eyes to her.
Can you say no?
"Instead of marrying Guo Jing, it is better to marry ...... Shi Tuo! Shuangzhi's voice was flat, as if he was talking about something that had nothing to do with him.
O64: Premarital Encounter
The Shi family's mansion, the upper room.
"What? Do you really want Tuo'er to marry the girl from the Fu family? Mrs. Shi, who was sitting on it, rolled up the tea lid, took a sip of tea, and heard Master Shi say that the family affairs of the Fu family had been settled, and she exclaimed in displeasure.
Shi Tuo, who had just returned from Zhuangzi, glanced at Mrs. Shi lightly and looked at Master Shi, "Dad, when was this family matter decided?" "Although Master Shi and Mrs. Fu had mentioned his marriage before, it hadn't been decided yet, and he didn't take it seriously, he didn't think that he would come back this time, it was already a family matter.
Master Shi ignored Mrs. Shi, just looked at Shi Tuo and said, "Shuangzhi is a good girl, you will know in the future." β
Shi Tuo pursed his lips tightly, his eyebrows were slightly raised, although he didn't care too much about who he married to, anyway, he was already mentally prepared that his father would arrange his lifelong event, but this feeling of cutting first and then playing still made him very unhappy!
"Hmph, if it weren't for the Fu family being cornered by that prince, would they marry their daughter into the Shi family?" Mrs. Shi glanced at Shi Tuo out of the corner of her eyes, she was actually a little afraid of Shi Tuo in her heart, although she was also stained with Shi Tuo because of Shi Tuo's identity, but she was never her own son, and she felt unpleasant no matter how she looked at it.
Especially when Shi Tuo looks at people, he is always cold and unkind, she knows that he doesn't treat her as a second mother at all, although he screams like this, he actually looks down on her in his heart, only when she is still the maid ring next to his biological mother. When Shi Tuo heard this, he looked at Master Shi expressionlessly, "There is a contradiction between the Fu family and King Yu?" β
Master Shi laughed dryly, he always couldn't speak freely to his son, as if there was a barrier between father and son, he hadn't seen each other for about nine years, and his feelings were rusty, "I don't know why King Yu wants to deal with the Fu family, anyway, I have already agreed with Mrs. Fu that I will officially propose marriage in the next few days, and I just happened to go to propose marriage that day, fortunately, we have decided last time." β
The original has already agreed with Mrs. Fu to officially propose marriage in the next few days, and it just happened that day to propose marriage, fortunately, we have already decided last time. β
Shi Tuo listened to Master Shi's perfunctory answer, and didn't ask any more, since the family matter has been decided, it can only be like this.
I hope that Fu Shuangzhi doesn't disappoint him too much, he doesn't want to have a cowardly wife who will be timid and scared when he sees him.
It's just that thinking of King Yu, who is deliberately trying to win him over, Shi Tuo is really a little impatient, "Okay, that's it, Tuo'er, you might as well move back to the big mansion these days, it's also convenient to discuss marriage." Seeing that Shi Tuo was silent, when he agreed to this family business, Master Shi was overjoyed, and his speech was much more relaxed.
Shi Tuo said: "No need, you can arrange it, when you get married, let someone go to Zhuangzi and inform me." β
The smile on Master Shi's lips froze a little, but he still smiled bitterly: "That, that's okay." β
Shi Tuo nodded to him, turned around and left.
Mrs. Shi was angry for a while, until Shi Tuo's figure disappeared from sight, and then she pulled Master Shi's sleeve and shouted: "Master, look at him, look at him, what kind of attitude is this, is it great to be a general?" Is there anything that puts you in the eye, is this the attitude that a son of man should have? β
Master Shi glanced at her impatiently, "If you want Tuo'er to be good to you, you can change your temperament." With that, Master Shi also brushed his sleeves and left the upper room.
It is normal for Shi Tuo to be cold to Mrs. Shi, when Shi Tuo had not left Pujing City, when did Mrs. Shi give him a good face? Although people are eccentric, after Mrs. Shi became the continuation of Master Shi, treating her own children and treating Shi Tuo is really the difference between heaven and earth.
Shi Tuo was cold to Mrs. Shi, but not because Madame Shi had treated him so harshly, but because of his character, and he felt that this woman who had become Master Shi's concubine as soon as his mother died and had become Madame Shi not long after her mother did not respect his mother at all.
β¦β¦
The family has begun to be busy with her marriage, after half a month of blows, the Fu family finally has a happy event, and the old lady has been in much better spirits these days, is this a comfort to her?
Shuangzhi sat on the boulder of a small hill, looking at the shimmering water in the sun, the mirror lake was calm and waveless, but she felt bad in her heart.
After the stone master left, two days later, he officially asked the matchmaker to come to the door to propose, even if the Fu master was unwilling, he still had to agree to come down, and opened the double to the birthday of the matchmaker to bring back, this is the so-called Geng post, I heard that the Shi family wants to put her Geng post in front of the Si Mingjun throne, if there is no bad omen in the family within three days, you can exchange Geng post.
followed by the fortune-telling marriage, which went very smoothly, and even the fortune teller said that she and Shi Tuo were born together.
Shuangzhi felt that these were simply funny and ridiculous, but she had no choice but to accept them quietly, their Fu family had no ability to deal with King Yu's revenge at all, so they could only rely on Shi Tuo's identity to make King Yu fearful.
Soon, she will marry Shi Tuo!
Father and mother, and eldest brother are already preparing a dowry for her.
Tomorrow is Wending, and the date of marriage has been set, which will be on the eighth day of the next month. The Shi family sent a cone-shaped sphere made of brown sugar, I heard that this is called sugar mother, and the sugar is inserted with pomegranate flowers, which means that the pomegranate is a hundred sons. Mrs. Fu replied with two sugar packets, which were made of wine cake sugar, symbolizing yeast and the meaning of yeast prosperity.
After getting the sugar from the Shi family, the old lady had already instructed the maids to distribute the sugar to the neighbors and relatives and report the good news to them.
From beginning to end, Shuangzhi just smiled and accepted everyone's joy, watching the old lady and everyone in the family smile for her, she felt like a play-watching person, not the protagonist of the story.
Perhaps, on the day of marriage, she can feel that such a happy day belongs to her.
The cold wind was blowing, and it was biting, Shuangzhi pulled the neckline of the fox fur, stood up, exhaled a long breath, and clenched his hands into fists to cheer himself up, "Come on!" Come on! You won't be defeated by fate! β
"Ahem!"
Behind him, a low cough was heard.
This voice doesn't sound like Rong Lan's! Hearing this, Shuangzhi turned her head strangely, and saw the tall figure standing not far behind her, her expression was a little shocked, "Yes...... It's you? β
Shi Tuo looked at her indifferently, "I'm scared of you." β
He was only passing by here when he was back to Zhuangzi, so he thought of walking around Jinghu, he didn't expect to see her, he walked up the hill to ask her how her foot injury was, who knew that before she could speak, she suddenly shouted at the lake, he was afraid that he would not be able to help laughing, so he coughed lightly.
"Uh, no." It seems that she scared him, Shuangzhi thought embarrassedly, but couldn't help but wonder in his heart, why didn't Rong Lan have any existing people coming in?
"There's a trail on the other side of the woods, and it's hard to see." He seemed to read her thoughts and whispered.
Shuangzhi smiled awkwardly, "You...... Do you like it here, too? β
This is the person she is about to marry, her future husband.
In his heart, there was a sudden sourness, he didn't know that the person he wanted to marry was her, didn't he know what kind of expression he would have when the time came? Is it still expressionless, looking at her coldly, and saying that it was you.
Do you want to tell him, hey, Shishi, I'm the woman you want to marry, let's shake hands and get to know each other first, shall we?
How will he react?
Would he think she was trying to get close to him? Just like when I met him in the theater, I was mistaken for a woman who had a purpose for him?
Ah, what a tangled question.
is not married yet, she has begun to worry a little about her married life, and she is obviously mentally prepared, but she still feels cowardly about anything.
"Are your feet healed?" Shi Tuo's eyes fell on her feet and asked, but he didn't expect her to answer. She seemed to be in a daze, and she hadn't even heard him say that he would come here because he used to practice martial arts here when he was a child.
Shuangzhi came back to his senses, "Ah, what did you say? β
The corners of Shi Tuo's mouth pulled up a slight smile, "Is your foot injured healed?" β
"Ahh Shuangzhi nodded and said with a smile: "It's been so long, it's all right." β
Shi Tuo judged lightly, "That's good." β
Shuangzhi twisted his fingers, bit his lip and was silent for a moment, "Shi Tuo, actually I ......"
Shi Tuo's obsidian-like eyes stared straight at her, waiting for her next.
No woman had ever dared to call him by his name, sounding ...... It's quite pleasing to the ear.
"I ......" is the woman you are about to marry! Shuangzhi wanted to open his mouth to say this to him, but when the words came to his mouth, he was swallowed back and couldn't say anything.
Depend on! Fu Shuangzhi, you are so useless, when did your temperament become so twisted!
Shuangzhi couldn't help but spit on herself in her heart, but under his too sharp eyes, she really couldn't speak.
It feels like all previous encounters will have another purpose when they say it.
"Actually, I want to say thank you." She blushed, finally discouraged.
Shi Tuo raised his eyebrows, knowing that she had something to say, but she couldn't say it! "You thanked me last time."
"Uh, really? That...... Then say it again, you helped me twice," Shuangzhi laughed dryly, a little embarrassed.
Shi Tuo smiled faintly and looked at her with clear eyes.
Shuangzhi smiled embarrassedly, and didn't know what to say for a while, so he had to find a random topic, "You...... Are you going back to the city? β
"Back to Hongshan." Shi Tuo replied.
"Oh!" Shuangzhi Fox glanced at him suspiciously, "You don't like to live in the city?" Although Pujing City is not as prosperous as Jingzhao, it is still very good. At least she thinks she likes it here.
Shi Tuo lowered his eyes and shielded her, "I don't dislike Pujing City. β
Uh, Shuangzhi stiffly continued to smile, this man is really not a good person to chat and fart, can she really be a respectful couple with him in the future?
To be honest, now she doesn't have that kind of feeling for him, which is good, she doesn't want to fall in love with anyone again, as long as she can guard her own people, she can calmly face the next married life.
I heard that he had already taken a concubine, or when he first returned to Shi's house, Mrs. Shi specially selected a concubine for him in order to please him, but it seems that he didn't take that concubine to Zhuangzi in Hongshan, or didn't she see it last time?
What's the matter with how many concubines he has?
The two stood silently for a while, and finally Shuangzhi couldn't stand the strange atmosphere between the two, and under the pretext of feeling a little cold, he hurried down the hill and disappeared from his sight.
Shi Tuo looked at the direction of her departure and did not react, thinking that he was about to get married, and he didn't know what kind of person his wife was, his heart was a little low.
If......
Uh, Shuangzhi stiffly continued to smile
