Chapter 21: Call of the old lady

"It doesn't matter if it's true or not." Song Li turned his head when he heard the words, carefully glanced at his favorite little daughter, and said softly, "That woman's background is impossible to marry Chen Thielan as his wife. In that case, What are you worried about? Based on our family status, if you really marry Shen Xiaolan in the future, before the wedding, Shen's parents will order him to clean the backyard to show respect for our family!"
"In your capacity, to care about her is nothing but a joke!"
What he said was calm and gentle, but Song Jianiang couldn't take it seriously, bit her lip, and said: "The old steward said that Miss Xi Jia is very young and beautiful... What if Brother Shen really moved her?"
"So what?" Song Li disapproved. "You think that Shen Pilan is studying well, and was admitted as a scholar last year. What would you do when you come to Shandong as Jin Yiwei at this time? This is the Shen family knows. His Majesty’s determination to move the capital deliberately allows him to take a share in this major event. By the way, it is also for Donggong to add a little weight in front of His Majesty and have a good impression... After all, he is not the eldest son, and his elder brother inherits the title. If the family does not give him a future If you plan, in the future, at most, you will seal a casual official and receive some salaries that are not salty or indifferent!"
"Even if you are successful in your studies, according to your majesty's sage, and the current situation of the East Palace, it is difficult to get a promotion without real achievements!"
"This is a major event that concerns him in the future. How could he be confused for a woman? What's more, young and beautiful women... are they rare for people like us?"
Seeing that his daughter was still depressed, he sighed, and comforted, "Don't worry! Although it is said that the father and Shen's parents are interested in getting married, but hasn't this been a clear road yet? If that Tan Lan is really confused Yes, the girl who came out for a small family is moved by the truth, such a waste, my father will never agree to marry you!"
He also encouraged, "What's more, my son is both talented and beautiful, and his birthplace is no worse than that of the kid. How can a country girl be compared?"
To put it all right, he finally dismissed the daughter. Song Li's expression turned gloomy in an instant, and he called someone to the side and asked, "What's the matter with the Shen family?"
The subordinates were sincere and frightened: "In the past few days, the lord was walking around, because he was afraid that the young lady would be affected, so he stayed in the inn and asked the people underneath to wait. The young lady was free and often played in the city. He saw food and drink, but anything interesting , It will send someone to Master Shen’s side! The old slave only came back to know about this because he was with the master. Although he felt wrong, he never found the opportunity to report it. I didn’t expect..."
"I'm not talking about this!" Song Li interrupted coldly, "Shen Pilan came to Shandong as Jin Yiwei, although these eagle claws were disbanded by Emperor Taizu's emperor in the past. His Majesty’s orders to rebuild, it is inevitable that the vitality will be severely damaged, and he cannot immediately restore the ears, eyes and psychic in his heyday. However, relying on your Majesty, he is cheap to steal the place of the hundred households sealed by the blue shade. How can his whereabouts be so easily Did you find it?!"
Hearing this, his face changed and said, "Master, what do you mean... Jinyiweizhong?"
"This is their business." Song Li was expressionless, "I don't want to overtake me, but the people and things around me who don't want me to stay outside..."
"The old slave will check it right away!" Knowing that the matter is serious, the subordinates did not dare to neglect, and he said in a deep voice, "The old slave promises that I will definitely not let anything out of it!"
Song Li only then calmed down a bit, nodded slightly, and frowned when he thought of her daughter's irritated appearance, and then ordered: "The Xi family girl, please check the details when you are free to see what kind of character she is. Do you know the severity?"
...Xi Fuwei who had returned to Zou Mansion didn't know it, because of the quick glance in front of the door, she had already entered the sight of the father and daughter of Shangshu of the Ministry of Industry.
After she returned to Fenzhi Tower, she went to visit Fu Chuoxian first, spoke with this sister Fu for a while before returning to her house.
Just after changing the dress she was going out, the chuckle of footsteps on the stairs followed Lusha knocking on the door. Her voice was a little disturbed: "Mr. Shen, old lady, please come over!"
Mrs. Zhuang?
Xi Fuwei had a "cock" in her heart, and secretly said that this old lady was punished because Zou Yi'ang was punished and angered herself, right?
It must be known that she was cautious and said almost nothing on that day. The whole process was for Zou Qiongruo and the others to talk about, at most, she sent someone to notify Mrs. Shang.
The problem is that it happened in Zou Mansion, can she not tell Mrs. Shang?
He sighed secretly, praying that the old lady would not be too unreasonable, Xi Fuwei raised his voice and said, "I'll go by changing my clothes!"
After a while, she arrived in front of Mrs. Zhuang. The old lady lived in a three-door yard on the southeast corner of the Zou Mansion. There were persimmon and peach trees planted in the yard. Although this season is bare, without flowers and leaves, However, the strong branches and trunks in the bleak courtyard have a unique charm that has accumulated over time.
Silently highlights the age and heritage of this family.
"Sir, don’t worry, please come here for no other purpose." Mrs. Zhuang’s hair is gray and her pampered face is inevitably wrinkled due to her age, but the outline can be seen. beauty.
She was very dignified and elegant. She smiled without showing her teeth, and did not even reach the bottom of her eyes. She politely greeted Xi Fuwei to take her seat, and said kindly, "It is these two days that I heard people say that my husband has only learned from others. That evil barrier is full of praise...Because the evil barrier in my family was asked by a gentleman who is known as a man to sit in the museum, and I have never seen him respect and admire in this way, so I am a little curious, I want to ask my husband to come and talk, also called My old lady, meet the talented woman of the world!"
Xi Fuwei understood immediately, this old lady was afraid that she would beat her grandson by herself!
After all, Zou Yiang is only three years younger than Xi Fuwei. As the so-called female junior holds gold bricks, Zou Yiang has reached the age of marrying, always saying that Xi Fuwei is good and that good... just Xi Fuwei’s current situation, Even if you didn't have any thoughts about Zou Yi'ang, maybe you have to think about it by his attitude?
"The old lady is joking, Zou Gongzi is just a polite remark, how can I take it seriously?" Xi Fuwei was speechless. She came to Zou Mansion to be a gangster, not a golden turtle fisher-in-law, so how could she want to get involved with Zou Yiang?
It’s just that it’s impossible to confess this feeling to Mrs. Zhuang, so she can only dispel this suspicion by other methods.
Furthermore, Mr. Zou always said this in front of Sister Fu. Sister Fu often teased me. , I am ashamed to see my sister!"
Your grandson praised me, but it was praised in front of Fu Chuoxian, who is also the Xixi of your house with me. The intention is whether it is good or bad, and please taste it yourself!
Mrs. Zhuang listened, her eyes moved slightly, and she smiled lightly: "Is that so? Then this kid is not sensible!"
He didn't say anything, took her to chat, gave a pair of silver bracelets, and let them go.
Xi Fuwei retired with her, frowned and returned to Fenzhilou on the road. She didn't want to turn around the door of the cave for a month, and met Zou Yi'ang who was walking with her hands on her back.
"Mr. Shen, where are you going?" Zou Yiang was humming a little tune and walking around. Seeing her, he hurried up and greeted enthusiastically, "Looking at the direction, it seems that he came from my grandmother. Didn’t you just tell me bad things?"
"Zou Gongzi didn't do anything bad, who can say bad things about you?" Xi Fuwei was annoyed at him, and she didn't want to laugh at the words, "You really think too much."
Zou Yiang didn't care about the irony in her words, and said with a smile: "Huh? It seems that it really came from my grandmother?"
He looked behind her, "Why is there a husband? What about Mr. Fu? Did your grandmother invite you over to speak?"
"Sister Fu is not very happy these days, she is still lying on the couch now." Xi Fuwei looked at him and laughed, "Zou Gongzi forgot?"
"Mr. Fu is not one of my son, my son is thinking of her all day long, is it fair?" Zou Yiang raised his eyebrows, hearing the subtlety in her tone, and suddenly took a step closer, leaning in front of her, with an ambiguous gesture. "Mr. Shen, are you right?"
Xi Fuwei looked at him unchanged, and for a moment, she curled her lips and smiled, focusing on the top of his head. Then, she moved to her shoulder and smiled meaningfully.
Zou Yiang's face froze.
He is twelve years old and hasn't started smoking.
The fifteen-year-old Xi Fuwei is three years older than him, and he is considered taller among girls. He has grown a full head at this time. Zou Yiang only learned to tease girls, and originally planned to tease one. Fan her, but she was embarrassed by a look that couldn't tell.
After a moment of silence, Zou Yiang was so young that he couldn't hold his face, and left angrily!
"Sir, the son, he went to the old lady's place." Lu Sha watched Zou Yiang's master and servant leave, hesitated, and reminded Xi Fuwei, "The old lady sees the son's expression is wrong, so she must ask about it."
Xi Fuwei said nonchalantly: "Why should I be afraid of asking the Zou family for this reason?"
She was about to let Old Lady Zhuang know that Zou Yiang in her eyes was just a child, and she couldn't get up at all, lest the old lady sent her out in advance and made her unable to complete the task!
Thinking of the task, Xi Fuwei frowned slightly. She said that she had been in the Zou Mansion for some time. However, whether it was Fu Chuoxian's details or what Zou Mansion thought about dredging the canal or moving the capital, there was no progress.
Calm down and think about it. It's no wonder that she just went to see Chen Xiaolan, and that person had to warn her that there must be results.
Jin Yiwei is not Tzu Chi after all.
"Fu Chuoxian and I are now living in Fenzhi Tower with me. Regardless of her origin, she will get the first month when she is near the water tower. If you stare at her, you will find clues sooner or later!" Xi Fuwei thought for a while and secretly said, " The hard part is that the true intentions of the Zou Mansion are revealed. Should they approve the resolution of your majesty to move the capital or oppose it?"
This is embarrassing, because although she has already entered the Zou Mansion, her identity is only a Xixi, and she teaches only a few young ladies who cannot inherit the family business. The ages are younger than the other... But how can she not cause the Zou Mansion to doubt the situation? Next, have you heard such news?
