Chapter 35: misunderstanding?

"It's just a false alarm!" Xi Fuwei said slowly after hesitating a little, "It's not worth taking it to heart. Just ask the lady and the old lady to concentrate on greeting the distinguished guests."
In charge: "Mr. Shen is really magnanimous."
Because of the effort of such a few words, people around had already watched it, and it was inconvenient to stay for a long time.
After she left, the people nearby followed Xi Fuwei's side-by-side inquiries. Xi Fuwei was just perfunctory, but she did not miss a word about her identity and the relationship with the Zou family: she chose to sit here, the picture is No one knows here, but it didn't come to know people!
But he didn’t know that the steward went back and reported Mrs. Shang, but Mrs. Shang misunderstood and said:
When Mr. Shen entered the door before, Yi Ang suspected that she had entered the Zou Mansion because of her beauty. Now it seems that she is better than Fu. The husband is much more elegant... In such a cold day, a girl, it's nothing more than to jump into the lake decisively to save people. Mr. Fu's plan today can be seen by everyone. Young girl Yao looked ignorant and went with her. She used it as a green leaf. However, Mr. Shen’s talents and appearance were not concealed by Mr. Fu. She specifically bypassed Mr. Fu’s seat and went to a table where no one knew and did not win her eyes. Without the mind of Mr. Fu, and he didn't want to offend Mr. Fu, so he hid.
He ordered, "Tell everyone underneath to watch, and don't let anyone disturb Mr. Shen!"
The steward said yes, and then asked: "Master is very angry right now, saying that he is going to punish the son...?"
"What kind of occasion is this!" Mrs. Shang frowned, "When I don't want to smoke this kid? Isn't this the celebration of being afraid of sweeping the birthday party!? Let him calm down!"
As for Zou Yiang, Mrs. Shang took a deep breath and was about to speak, but she saw the girl in red, who was not far away by the stars, put down the wine bottle and looked around. The scene suddenly became quiet, but she said clearly and brightly: " Although our sisters have seen many scenery that they have never seen before, they have not had time to contact with the sisters who are as old as they are. I am very grateful for the hospitality of your government for coming here, but I don’t know if Can you also meet all the ladies in Yanzhou?"
"Miss Xu's words have broken my family." The silver-haired old lady said hurriedly, "Two people are coming here, and my house is really flourishing. What's the presumption?"
As for Xu Jingyuan’s desire to get to know the ladies who Yanzhou came to congratulate the Zou Mansion today, the old lady will not stop them. This is a good time for the various families to build relationships with the Dingguo Mansion and the Shangshu of the Ministry of Industry, even if the Zou family is a Yanzhou family. , And did not offend people so hard.
The news that Dingguo’s younger sisters offered to meet Yanzhou ladies was quickly posted on the table. The ups and downs were surprised and happy, but Xi Fuwei sighed secretly: "These two, really don’t see me. Give up!"
What surprised her was that after a while, she mixed in the team and went to toast Xu Jingyuan and Song Jianiang. After Mrs. Shang introduced her identity by the side, the two of them uttered "Oh" and looked at her up and down. He exchanged tacit glances, but there was no other expression, and he only said lightly: "Mr. Shen is a Xiuwaihuizhong."
The perfunctory tone in the tone can be heard by the deaf.
But everyone thought it was normal. Xu Jingyuan was willing to say something about the difference in status between the two sides, which already gave Xi Fuwei a lot of face.
Even after returning to their seats, some people cast jealous eyes in secret... You know that although the two nobles said they wanted to meet the ladies in Yanzhou, not everyone was specifically greeted.
Xi Fuwei didn't have time to pay attention to these gazes, frowning, and wondering: "Did these two people say they want to come and see me...really, just take a face-to-face?"
She feels 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, any one of them quietly gives orders, enough for Xi Fuwei to take the initiative to send them to the door for their visit.
Why bother to work to the point of visiting a strange old lady in person?
"They must be ill-intentioned." Xi Fuwei groaned, "I didn't make things difficult for me just before everyone was watching. I was scrupulous when I thought about it. I didn't want to lose my reputation just to deal with me... In private, I didn't know them. What method will it use?"
Because of the disparity in status, the other party has too many choices.
The simplest thing is to suggest to the Zou Mansion. Seeing that Mr. Shen in your family is not pleasing to the eye, how can the Zou Mansion treat the female husband favorably to offend the dignitaries of Yingtian Mansion for the sake of someone who is not relatives?
Or let the accompanying people buy off the people from the Zou Mansion and start secretly;
You can also spread rumors and kill people invisible...The more Xi Fuwei thinks about, the more she looks like water, she doesn’t even have the mood to talk to the people on her left and right. She just sits there drinking tea, thinking about all kinds of things. Possible and countermeasures.
This situation seemed to be arrogant in the eyes of those present.
"We are all serious young ladies. She has settled down, and she is only qualified to sit with us because of the face of the Zou Mansion. Now, after only a kind words from Miss Xu, is she actually taking it on the air?" You have sex. After the more anxious girl said something like this, everyone was somewhat annoyed, so they left her alone and started talking on their own.
Xi Fuwei couldn't ask for this situation. She felt pure and didn't want to suddenly stretch out a hand behind her and pull her sleeve.
"Are you?" She looked back, and she was slightly startled when she saw that she was a faceless maid.
"Mr. Shen, the son wants you to go out." The maid blessed her and whispered, "Just a moment."
Xi Fuwei squinted her eyes and looked at her with twinkling eyes for a while before she stood up in the maid's somewhat bewildered expression, "Go!"
You can't hide from this level today, so no matter who the person is here or who you are talking about... this trip is inevitable.
Xi Fuwei thought a little coldly: "I don't know what battles those two nobles have prepared waiting for me?"
However, after getting outside, under the leadership of the maid, he walked towards a secluded place, and as he walked, Zou Yiang was really walking there alone.
"You are here!" Seeing her, Zou Yiang sighed and hurried to the side. After a while, he took a small and exquisite food box out of a bunch of holly, and opened it as he urged, "Hurry up and drink. Let people see and I'll be done!"
Xi Fuwei is now fully guarded, and everyone seems to have been bought by Xu Jingyuan and Song Jianiang. Where would they be willing to import such unclear things?
He took a step back and shook his head and said, "Thank you, son! But I was full just now at the table."
"What are those dishes?" Zou Yiang said, "I got you this nourishing soup that my grandmother took only once every few days. The medicine is 500-year-old wild ginseng, the most tonic!"
Rao Shi Xi Fuwei is now extremely vigilant, and she smiles a little when she hears this: "My son, the old lady's age, the nourishing decoction only took a while, how old do you want me to drink?"
"The reason why my grandmother only eats it after a period of time is because the old ginseng in the last year is hard to find! I'm afraid that it will break when I eat it every day!" Zou Yiang looked at the expression of the country dumplings, "I just climbed the window and went to my grandmother's house. It took three locks to steal a bit of old ginseng to make medicinal introduction...Don’t dare, drink it while it’s hot, I’ve asked people, and they all said that if you drink this decoction, you won’t get the root cause!"
"Broken three locks..." Xi Fuwei's mouth twitched, "Are you really afraid of being hung up and beaten by the old lady?"
Zou Yiang waved his hand: "It's okay! My grandmother knows that I did it when I went back! In order to prevent me from being beaten, she will definitely hide it! Besides, what are you going to do for your body?"
If Xu Jingyuan and Song Jianiang hadn't left yet, Xi Fuwei would almost be moved!
"Thank you, Mr. Zou, for your kindness, but forgive me for your kindness." She curled her lips and said, "It's just a while since I went down to the lake. I went back to Fenzhi Building and cleaned it up. It's pretty good now. It's not so precious. The decoction... Let’s take it to honor the old lady! After all, Ling Zun Lingtang already knows about this matter. Now that the birthday banquet is still going on, I won’t take you anymore. When I look back, I will inevitably ask questions. At that time, if you know the son's filial piety, you will be able to take it lightly?"
Of course she suspected that this bowl of soup had been tampered with. However, Zou Yiang didn't know what to do, and was very touched, and said guiltily: "I didn't play tricks on you less before. You actually put yourself in this position for my sake... It's a mistake. Although you are usually a bit cunning and treacherous, you are actually a good person with a kind heart!"
Xi Fuwei smirked: "Don't say these polite remarks! The son hurry up and take them to the old lady, otherwise the soup will be cold and the old lady will be uncomfortable drinking, but she will be self-defeating!"
"I have stolen the wild ginseng anyway." Zou Yiang said hurriedly, "I'll ask someone to cook a bowl for my grandmother later, did you drink this bowl?"
His reaction to Xi Fuwei was not surprising, only that he didn't guess wrong, there was a problem with this decoction, so how could it be given to Mrs. Zhuang?
It must be thought to let her drink it!
"I'm the female gentleman of Zou Mansion. I'm here to teach Young Master's younger sisters." Xi Fuwei looked at him and said slowly, "Naturally, we must lead by example! How can I know that the drug introduction of the bowl of soup medicine in the Young Master's hand is stealing? Come, drink it as usual?"
She said righteously, "If I do this, what face will I have to teach you Miss Zou in the future? Please don't embarrass me!"
No matter how Zou Yiang persuades, she will put on the posture of "My old mother is a good gentleman with noble morals", and she will not agree to her life and death.
"...Forget it, if you have any discomfort in the future, just come and tell me." After a long while, Zou Yiang, with a dry mouth, finally gave up. He drank the cold soup medicine and said angrily, "I I will help you hire a doctor...You are really stupid to speak of, not to mention that I didn't confirm whether I really fell before I jumped down. Even if I fell, my close-fitting servant didn't go to the lake for rescue. What about me, what are you doing so desperately as a female husband who has been in the house for a few days?"
Xi Fuwei looked at the empty bowl in his hand for a moment in astonishment, wondering if she was thinking too much? Zou Yiang simply came to thank himself, not under the instructions of so and so?
But anyway, she didn't want to drink the nourishing soup that Mrs. Zhuang drank at her age, so she turned her head and put aside.
Hearing the words at the moment, he said: "First, I am confident of my own wateriness; second, I am afraid that something will happen to you. I will be nearby. I can't get rid of the relationship and I will not be able to stay in this mansion."
"This is the truth." Zou Yiang nodded, and then asked what she wanted?
Xi Fuwei naturally shook his head. Zou Yiang wanted to ask, but the maid who had invited Xi Fuwei over looked at the time and said to him, "My son, you should go to the table and give the old lady a kowtow!"
He could only leave first. Before leaving, he eagerly told Xi Fuwei: "If you want to talk about it! Don't let my parents beat me up. The Zou family is just a male heir. I want to get something. It's still very easy!"
Xi Fuwei just smiled.
After this person left, she contemplated for a while, and felt that since they had toasted Xu Jingyuan and Song Jianiang, these two did not intend to tear their faces with her in public, so there was no need to go to the table to waste time. Might as well go back to Fenzhi Building and take care of it.
Before I didn't want to, she walked a few steps in the direction of Fenzhilou, and suddenly she saw the oncoming people, her face suddenly changed!
