Chapter 74: Sniff

… This day when Xi Fuwei returned to the Zou Mansion, it was almost curfew. The downstairs of Fenzhi Building was quietly empty, but there were noisy people talking upstairs.
After she went up, she saw the brightly lit room in the opposite room, and the door opened a little bit, revealing a little color of clothes corners and the outline of her profile. It was Yao Zhuosu's maid Huang Su.
"Mr.'s back?" Xi Fuwei's room was also lit, but it was a small one. Lusha was making needlework with the light inside. When she saw her come in, she quickly got up to greet her, "Have you eaten? Slaves Ask the small kitchen to save food for you."
Today, she originally followed Xi Fuwei to the Qinglian restaurant, but then Xi Fuwei and Shen Qianlan left early, and she couldn't let her listen to what she wanted to say, so she threw the person to Fu Chuoxian, so he followed Fu Chuoxian first. came back.
"Just make some porridge and vegetables." Shen Pilan didn't expect to keep his staff for dinner, and Yu Kedi was anxious to discuss business with him, so Xi Fuwei came back so late, but only drank two sips of tea. I was full of worries and was hungry. He nodded and said, "I just wronged you... after my brother and I left, is there anything else in the restaurant?"
Lusha went down and brought her food to her and waited for her to use it. Then she said, "After you left with Master Shen, then Master Wen stayed until the feast was over, and Master Zeng flattered him very much. "
After a low voice, he glanced at the opposite side, and then whispered, "I don’t know if it’s because of this, Mr. Fu... also praised him a few times. Later, when the wine order was issued, Zeng Zi and Sun Zi had some disputes. When Mr. Fu was mediating, Mr. Zeng said a few words and almost cried on the spot! It was Mr. Wen who came forward and asked Mr. Zeng to pay a gift from Mr. Fu."
Xi Fuwei frowned when she heard this, saying that Wen Xianyun was not profitable and could not afford to be early, so it was a problem to give Fu Chuoxian face so.
While thinking about it, I heard Lusha say again, "There is also Miss Yao over there, please ask the slave girl to accompany you."
"What?" Xi Fuwei asked.
"This is the dress that I brought to Qinglian Restaurant to change today. When Miss Yao was upset, she took your skirt by mistake." Lusha explained, "This is also the carelessness of the servant girl. The changing dress I brought was cut from the same fabric. When Huang Su saw it, Miss Yao had already put it on. I planned to tell you in the restaurant, but I didn’t expect that when they went back to the table, you had already Master Shen takes a step first. No, after returning, they will come up and tell the servants, please don't be surprised, and wait for Huang Su to wash the skirt before sending it over."
Xi Fuwei said: "What am I talking about, it's just a skirt. It's cold. How can it be said that the upper body should be washed after wearing it? Wait for you to see if Sister Yao is asleep? Get it back."
Lusha smiled and said, "I haven't slept, I'm talking on Mr. Fu's side!"
"Really?" Xi Fuwei's hand holding the food paused, and said, "I'll go over and take a look later, after all, this is a big blow to Sister Fu's face, but I have to accompany her. "
After a while, she ran out of food and was rinsing her mouth with a tea bowl. Fu Chuoxian sent Yao Zhuosu down there.
Because of Yao Zhuosu’s gaffe in the restaurant today, Xi Fuwei worried that she was embarrassed to tell her to see her after she went out. After thinking about it, she didn’t say anything. Instead, she came up alone after Fu Chuoxian sent Yao Zhuosu back to her room. Go out and say, "Sister Fu!"
"Are you back?" Fu Chuoxian nodded at her. He didn't mean to change her attitude because Wen Xianyun tore her true identity in public. He still came up affectionately and took her arm, and said, "I am thinking about you. !"
"I encountered something, so I came back late." Xi Fuwei said vaguely, "I'm looking for my sister to confess, and ask my sister to blame me for disturbing your interest today."
"What is this for?" Fu Chuoxian grabbed her and said, "What kind of sentiment is our sister, is it comparable to those outside? I have never concealed my thoughts from you, just want to marry a well-off family. So in front of them, I am also wronged my sister today! For this reason, can they compare with you?"
He also said, "What happened today, in the final analysis, is the same as what you said, that Wen Xianyun is rude, and Lord Zeng is not so innocent with him. To say innocence, we should count the few of us and get together. Gathering, it made a mess, and it almost hurt the harmony between our sisters!"
Although knowing that this may not be true, Xi Fuwei still made a touch of emotion and said: "I'm really afraid that my sister will annoy me from now on and ignore me from now on!"
"How is it possible?" Fu Chuoxian took her to the door of the house, took the opportunity to enter her door, and sat at the round table in which Huanghuali carved landscape figures were carved in marble. He watched Lusha pouring tea and motioned her to follow Hong. Chidu retired first, then whispered, "I'm thinking, please help me to advise! How could I ignore you?"
Xi Fuwei hurriedly asked: "What is the staff?"
"What else can it be?" Fu Chuoxian sighed, "Has Lusha not told you yet? Today, after you left with Master Shen, the one surnamed Zeng quarreled with the one surnamed Sun... the one surnamed Zeng I don’t know what madness, and I’m forced to make a choice on the spot. If I invite guests later, I will invite the one with the surname Sun, and he will break with me!"
Xi Fuwei said: "Is this person afraid that his sister won't want him? But honestly, I think the son of Zengzi is a bit anxious, not as stable and generous as the son of Sun."
This is true, not because of the relationship between Zeng Zi and Wen Xianyun stepping on him.
"Why don't I know that this surname Zeng has a bad temper and a small mind?" But Xi Fuwei doesn't know these two well after all, but Fu Chuoxian, who is interested in choosing a husband-in-law from them, knows it. "In contrast, Although Sun Gongzi is a bit fatter, in fact, his temperament and behavior are both revealing...but you don't know, Sun Gongzi’s house is not so friendly!"
Xi Fuwei said: "I heard he is the only son?"
Girls don’t have the right to inherit the family business these days. An only child means that there is no competition for the family property. Should it be a good thing?
"Not only the only child, but there is also a widow mother in the family!" Fu Chuoxian said, "On the old lady's birthday, I said a few words with others, saying that the surname Sun is indeed not bad, the problem is to treat him That widow’s mother is very filial! If his widow is sensible and reasonable, he should be filial to her after entering the door as a daughter-in-law! The problem is that his widow mother, how do I think it’s wrong... What do you tell the grandson? Want to come to a restaurant for a banquet? Said it was his widowed mother who said that when marrying a wife, you must marry a small family, so that you can be smart and sensible, and dare not talk back and dare not come! His widowed mother said such words, what else could it be?"
Naturally, Tu's daughter-in-law was born in a humble background, far inferior to her own, so she can take care of her.
Fu Chuoxian was annoyed: "The person surnamed Sun should really like me, but my father has gone, no one at home can support me. If you really enter the Sun family, I'm afraid it will not be a good day!"
She tried every means to marry the rich and noble family, the picture is the enjoyment of the maidservant, but not to be a cautious little daughter-in-law.
As for Young Master Zeng, he is a stingy, as Xi Fuwei said, but Fu Chuoxian said, "He seems to be difficult to speak, but as long as he is coaxed, he is a compliant. It would be too tiring to live like this. That's a bit!"
Xi Fuwei asked with interest: "How is his family?"
"The family is just an ordinary family." Fu Chuoxian said, "both parents and sisters, as well as brothers, but he is the eldest son. Their family business is unique to the eldest son. Others can only get some fur."
He also said, "He is a bit twisted, and he doesn't agree with his family, even his parents."
In this regard, for some people, it means that the character is not good and is not filial enough, but for some people, such as Fu Chuoxian, it means that after getting married, it is only necessary to coax Master Zeng. Even his family members have to be pleased.
"If my sister is not very satisfied with these two people, why don't you wait anymore?" Xi Fuwei thought for a while, and said, "Anyway, it is now the end of the year. When the spring starts next year, the status of the Zou Mansion will be a feast. There will definitely be a lot of drinking. If Huitonghe had already started construction by then, there would be more drinking things! Then there will be more young talents, maybe there will be better ones?"
Fu Chuoxian bit her lip, and after a while, he said, "What you said makes sense!"
She stopped talking about her marriage, but asked Xi Fuwei, "By the way, you don't seem to like Master Wen very much?"
"The first time he met me, he came up and called'Weiwei' inexplicably." Xi Fuwei raised her eyebrows and asked back, "I still want to use my hands. You can see the situation today, let me explain. , How to find a witness, he just assumed that I was that Xi Fuwei... How could I not hate him?"
Fu Chuoxian said: "Yes...but I'm really curious, if that Miss Xi is still alive, what would you do to give up a fiance like Master Wen? After all, it is about talent, appearance, wealth, and temper. Nothing to be picky?"
When she finished speaking, she noticed that Xi Fuwei glanced at herself with a smile.
"Then Miss Xi is said to have been in the house since childhood." Xi Fuwei knew that she was turning around to inquire about the grievances between Xianyun and the Xi family. There is nothing to conceal about this. Even if it is possible, Xi Fuwei is anxious to see the world. Everyone knows the nasty things that Dongchang Wen’s family has done, and immediately said,
Will you do such a thing for no reason? The whereabouts of the nephew is unknown with the bones of the father and brother? What else can be other than escape?

Fu Chuoxian said in surprise: "Run for your life? Why run for your life? You mean Master Wen is not good for the Xi family? How could this be possible? It is said that this marriage was made when the Wen family took the initiative to ask for it, which shows the importance of Xi family! "
"But Xi Fucui died of illness!" Xi Fuwei took a deep look at her. "It's the same with the family of the Xi family. It's not the same as the Wen family. It's not right for Wen Jiagao to take a look. It’s just by producing a prestigious reading seed? It’s a pity that the reading seed will be gone. Let Wen Jia's son continue to marry Xi's daughter. How can Wen Jia be reconciled? If they regret the marriage, the marriage was settled by their great efforts. , Walking in the middle is also very frequent...Because they don’t admit their elder brothers if they are gone, just forget about them, what time is it now? The river is about to open, who knows if someone will be found by someone in the court to file a lawsuit and lose the canal The status of the big family?"
The following remarks came to her only after Wen Xianyun talked to Xi Fuwei in private last time.
If it weren't for the court to open the river, I'm afraid Wen's family might not do anything to destroy the family's family. After all, with Wen's power in Dongchang Mansion, there are some ways to settle the repentance of the marriage.
Let them play such a poisonous hand, 80% of them are because the Wen Jia knows that they cannot resist the force or threat, so they take the risk.
Of course, judging from the inexplicable disclosure of Shen Weilan, the people and things involved... I'm afraid the roots are still in the distant Yingtian Palace.
That was a place Xi Fuwei hadn't even been to so far, let alone intervening.
