Chapter 23: Zou Family Patriarch

Fu Chuoxian took a surprised look at her when she heard the words. He seemed surprised why she asked such a question. After pursing her lips, he said: "Patriarch Zou is very pure and filial, and he never forgets every time he goes out. Bring something new to the old lady."
Said that he turned the sweet white porcelain gilt-painted peach blossom tea bowl in the palm of his hand, put it down, and said, "I heard that sometimes the old lady will open up everyone's eyes together, but I don’t know if there is such an opportunity this time. ?"
Xi Fuwei thought about it for a while, and she understood what she meant: the incident that Fu Chuoxian "fainted" before caused a dispute between Mrs. Zhuang and Mrs. Shang over Zou Yiang's discipline.
Although it was Mrs. Shang who had the upper hand at the time and took Zou Yiang away from Mrs. Zhuang and punished him, the head of the Zou family was not in the house at that time.
Now that he comes back, the mother-in-law must find his son to support him!
Even if Mrs. Shang has been in the house for many years, since this Patriarch Zou is a pure filial piety, he will turn to his wife or relatives... It's hard to say!
"But I haven't heard that the owner of the Zou family is confused. Zou Yi'ang is a male heir. How can he be a good student?" Xi Fuwei thought this way, but considering that Fu Chuoxian was from Yanzhou, he was very concerned about Zou's family. My understanding and familiarity are better than my own. Now that I say this, I have some confidence in thinking about it.
Speaking of this, it has nothing to do with Xi Fuwei, but it is Fu Chuoxian. If Zou’s mother-in-law and daughter-in-law really quarrel, I’m afraid the Zou family’s head will blame her. After all, this matter is caused by her dizziness. Come.
After pondering for a moment, Xi Fuwei smiled, and after a few vague prevarications, he left.
Two days later, the Patriarch of the Zou family returned. Mrs. Shang brought a group of concubines and children from the backyard to greet him, and then flocked him to the old lady to reunite.
Because of this, someone sent a letter to Fenzhilou to take a day off for Zou Qiongruo.
The female gentlemen all rested for a day. The next morning, they heard a news that the Patriarch of the Zou family had beaten Zou Yiang!
The reason was not that he offended Fu Chuoxian, but that he was not motivated and that he could not provoke the future of Zou Mansion.
So after Patriarch Zou beat this son violently, he ordered him to go back to Mr. Juren, so that he would be a good student, but if there is any slack, he will be served by the family law!
... As for whether Patriarch Zou’s resolute attitude was attributed to Mrs. Shang, or whether Mrs. Zhuang was involved in the accidental collision, of course a female gentleman like Xi Fuwei could not find out.
Fu Chuoxian didn't know if he was too curious or if he had any thoughts. He even went to the Yao family's mother and daughter, thinking that these two mothers and daughters are related to Mrs. Zhuang, maybe they know some secrets?
It's just that Yao's mother and daughter didn't know if they were bullied by relatives before, and they were very silent.
Facing her ingenious words, she basically said nothing.
When I have to speak, I can say one word but not two.
Fu Chuoxian spent a lot of time back and forth without success, and even put on a few small things that Yao Zhuosu had squeezed into, and then he gave up.
Xi Fuwei saw this scene in her eyes, thinking that if Fu Chuoxian had been ordered by someone to come to Zou Mansion as a female husband, she seemed to be in a hurry because of no progress.
Otherwise, how could you ask Yao's mother and daughter directly about the privacy of the master's family so recklessly?
One is not good, but will be fired.
After all, no matter how hard to find a female husband, no one wants to get someone who loves to spy on their own affairs in the house.
But Fu Chuoxian was anxious, she was even more anxious.
It has been several days since Tan Lan’s urging, if she has no results, who knows what Tan Lan will do?
The history of Jin Yiwei is not long, it was only established in this dynasty.
In the middle, because His Majesty Taizu wanted to pave the way for Prince Yiwen, many years had passed since he was disbanded, but even so, no one can despise them in the country.
Not only is it because the emperor pro-military, but also because the reputation of this yamen was established on the Blood Sea Corpse Mountain from the beginning.
They don't even need any cruel modifiers, because the three words "Jin Yiwei" represent all the coldness and cruelty imaginable at this time.
The civil and military officials are all frightened to them, not to mention Xi Fuwei, a weak woman who dare not even expose her identity?
"Patriarch Zou didn't come back early or later, why did he come back at this time?" Xi Fuwei thought uneasy, "I taught Zou Yiang as soon as he came back, and he asked him to follow Mr. Juren... , I just want to do something through Zou Yiang, and I have no chance!"
After all, Zou Yiang will most likely be urged by his father in the future. Cheng Rili will follow that Mr. Juren to school. Where is there any time and opportunity to come to the women’s school?
Xi Fuwei thought of this, and suddenly her heart jumped, "Surely, this is the purpose of the Zou Family Patriarch, right?"
As today’s plan to move the capital is already known to the government and the public, in order to solve the problem of water transportation after the capital is moved, dredging the canal is an inevitable move.
As the most deeply entrenched family in Yanzhou, the Zou family is hard not to be involved in this storm. At this time, the old people in the house are very likely to be bought off, let alone newly hired female husbands?
Xi Fuwei could think that Zou Yiang was the only male heir of the Zou family. Even at a young age, it was easy to inquire many secrets. How could the Patriarch of the Zou family not think of it?
Now it seems that he is disciplining his son, maybe he also has the intention of avoiding Zou Yiang being babbled.
For Xi Fuwei, this is not good news.
She couldn't help frowning, thinking about how would she be able to satisfy Chen Thiolan without Zou Yiang's relatively easy breakthrough?
Xi Fuwei was in trouble, but she did not expect that Zou Yiang, who she wanted to calculate, was also thinking about her.
Well, to be precise, I was thinking of the entire Fenzhi Building.
"Ouyang is a truly educated person. He was already a Juren at a young age, and Xi Fucui, the missing reading seed from the neighboring mansion, is not inferior to him!" Zou Zhihan, the head of the Zou family, was told to his son by his wife when he returned. The trouble of time.
Other things, including being dizzy with Fu Chuoxian, and Zou Zhihan just frowned, but after hearing that he almost angered Mr. Juren in the mansion, it broke out!
It was useless for Mrs. Zhuang to rush over in person to stop her. After copying the family law, Zou Yiang was screamed and howling!
At the end, he warned him hostilely, "Such a talent is no better than the female gentlemen who taught your sisters. They will rely on men in the final analysis, and if it is not for the embarrassment of the family, they will definitely not come out and show their faces to me. The Zou Mansion wanted a lot, even if it was a little slack, it would be enough to make up for and appease afterwards!"
"Ouyang can be admitted to the Jinshi by himself in the future!"
"Once he is named on the gold list... then he will be an upright imperial official!"
"My Zou family is deeply entrenched in Yanzhou, and every bit of it is the result of painstaking efforts by the predecessors. With today's weather, how can you let you ruin it!"
I hate that iron is not steel. "The reason why I personally invited Ouyang to be your husband at the time was that he was talented and worthy of friendship; secondly, it was for your sake...Neither generation of my Zou family had ever been an official. Even if you have achieved results in your studies, no one will support you after you become an official! But if Ouyang spends a few years in our house and passes the palace exam, you, as his personal disciple, will get along for several years day and night. This affection is related to this relationship. Can anyone else compare?"
"So in the future, are you afraid that no one will take care of it?!"
Paving the road to this point, Zou Zhihan thinks that he has been devoted enough to the only male heir. Who knows that this guy is so muddy and can't get on the wall. If it weren't for Mrs. Shang to be clear, it would have been a win-win situation, and it was almost a vengeance Up!
So even if he was his biological son, there was also an old lady with a mother who said "the child is still young and ignorant" from time to time. Zou Zhihan also gave Zou Yiang a violent beating, and he still beat him in the face. Kind of, let him go to see Mr. Ouyang with a lot of head hurt in the end, so that Mr. Ouyang can calm down, and then he is willing to continue to give this kid sincerely!
At first, Zou Yiang was very stubborn to refuse, plausibly expressing that the Zou family is rich anyway, and he has no idea about entering the dynasty as an official. If he inherits his family business in the future, it is good to be a happy and leisurely rich man!
But immediately, Zou Zhihan was beaten and couldn't find Bei. It didn't take long for him to cry hoarsely and defeated, begging for mercy one after another!
Such a flurry of turmoil, because of Mrs. Zhuang’s distress, although not many outsiders knew how to see it, Zou Yiang himself felt that his face was extremely dull!
He wanted to find Mr. Ouyang to settle the accounts, but he thought of his parents' respect for Ouyang, and he was facing stage fright.
After all, this gentleman who is just angry will quit, and his parents will be like that in a hurry, let alone deliberately making fun of him?
After thinking about it, Zou Yiang believes that the cause of Zou Zhihan's brutal beating is not only offending Ouyang, but also has something to do with the turmoil of women's school!
... Since Zou Zhihan has said that Ouyang is no better than the female gentlemen, then go and vent your anger on the female gentlemen!
He thought so and did it!
The next day, I asked people around me to buy a basket of poisonous snakes. It was just a little bit human. I asked people to pull out their fangs. They sneaked into Fenzhi Building at night, opened a back door that was rarely used, and dumped all the baskets of snakes. Go in!
This season, snakes and insects have begun to hibernate, and they rarely move when they fiddle.
It's just that the treatment of the female gentlemen by the Zou Mansion is very good, and now there are charcoal basins to supply up and down, and the whole building is warm, just like in spring.
After the basket of snakes was thrown in, after a while, they gradually recovered.
Because they have hibernated for a period of time, they are unavoidably hungry. After they become more flexible, they will walk around looking for food and suitable habitat.
