Chapter 22: New lady

The next day Xi Fuwei finished lectures to Zou Qiongruo and went back to rest before entering the door. Seeing Fu Chuoxian sitting there drinking tea, she stepped forward and greeted: "My sister is fine?"
"Yes." Fu Chuoxian chuckled, because she just couldn't get off the stage to pretend to be dizzy. After pretending to be sick, the Zou family kept them delicious and delicious for the past few days. After adding some clothing and jewelry, it looks like he has not recovered from a serious illness, but his lips are red and teeth are white, and his complexion is excellent.
Put the tea bowl gently on the table, and looked at Xi Fuwei with a pleasant look, "My sister is gone? How about today?"
"The ladies are Lan Xinhui and obedient, naturally everything goes well." Xi Fuwei is very defensive to her right now, after all, although Zou Yiang's provocation is obvious, his identity is doomed to Fu Chuoxian. Fortunately, Xi Fuwei, there are still comments on his attitude, it is impossible to take it seriously.
After changing Xi Fuwei's position in Fu Chuoxian's seat, even if she didn't feel hatred for herself, she would at least be a little bit sour... After all, is it a teenage girl, how many can reach the realm of humiliation?
So speak very cautiously, lest there be any handles left, "I have made progress when I look at the copybooks of the ladies today. It is very gratifying to see."
Fu Chuoxian smiled and complimented Zou Qiongruo and others along with her words, and then went to prepare her course.
Xi Fuwei couldn't understand her current thoughts. After guessing, she put it aside for the time being, and continued to figure out how to approach the real principals of the Zou Mansion, namely the Zou Family Patriarch and Madam Shang.
She thought about it for a long time and still didn't have any clues, but in the evening, Lusha told her something: "Another female gentleman is coming."
"Really?" Xi Fuwei remembered that Shen Tan Lan analyzed before, saying that although Zou Mansion posted posts everywhere to recruit female gentlemen, but this year, there are not many female gentlemen who have the talent to sit in the restaurant. Here, I have hired three with so little effort. I don't know if there will be more in the future!
Is this the Zou Mansion’s good luck and success, or the enthusiasm of all parties, probably only God knows?
She felt a little strange, because the emperor's intention to move the capital, and ordered the dredging will pass the river to prepare for the move, it has now been spread.
Even if Zou Mansion has no eyeliner on Yingtian Mansion's side, it's impossible to know nothing about it, right?
Mrs. Shang chooses to recruit female husbands for his daughters at this time. Is this a coincidence, or is there any other consideration?
If so, what exactly is it?
Xi Fuwei can be said to have no understanding of Chaotang's situation. She dare not speculate about Mrs. Shang's intentions at will. She only thinks about this new lady, but she doesn't know which faction she is?
...It doesn't matter which school you are from, don't be Jin Yiwei.
After all, Shen Pilan is already very dissatisfied with her progress. If a newcomer is arranged to enter the Zou Mansion at this time, it is unclear whether Aunt Xi Fuwei will be abandoned next?
"I don't know what this female gentleman is a professor?" Xi Fuwei calmly asked Lusha.
Lu Sha said: "It seems that she is the distant relative of the old lady, who has not been in contact for a few years. It is said that she has lived in Jiangsu and Zhejiang before. Although it is not a wealthy family, it can be considered safe. It's just the head of the family. The tribe was greedy and drove the mother and daughter out to take possession of the family property. They took refuge in a few rooms, but their distant relatives failed to settle down. The trustee asked the old lady and the old lady was kind and sent the steward to pick it up. of."
He also said, "The mother and daughter seem to have a bit of spine, and they don't want to come here to eat for nothing. The old lady heard that they are good at echidna, so she ordered them to live in Fenzhilou, and together with the two gentlemen to give advice to the ladies. "
When I said this, I felt wrong, and hurriedly added, "The old lady and the wife said that you and Mr. Fu were both asked by the university, which is beyond the reach of the ordinary female stream! The two newcomers, in the final analysis, are just talking to the old man. Human affection!"
Xi Fuwei smiled and said kindly: "As the saying goes, there are three hundred and sixty lines, and you can get the champion. Although I know a few words, I am still far from the champion. People can point out some young ladies. It can be seen that this needlework kungfu has its own advantages. When it comes to this point, I can't do it. So everyone is a female gentleman, and they are still old ladies. If you compare us, do you insult me?"
Lusha carefully observed her expression, and saw that she did not mean anything unpleasant, and he was relieved, and smiled: "You are humble! As the saying goes, everything is inferior, only reading is high!"
"This is about their men. As far as our daughter's family is concerned, how can she be a husband and a child after she leaves the cabinet?" Xi Fuwei sighed faintly, "Don't talk about this... By the way, I Let me ask you one thing: Lord Zou is the only male heir of the Zou family, and he is so old, why didn’t he follow Master Zou to take care of the family business, and he did not attend the class with the husband specially invited by Zou’s mansion. Do you always run into our school?"
"Isn't these days coincident with the autumn harvest?" Lusha only said that she was worried that Zou Yiang would go to the school to make trouble again, because before Fu Chuoxian pretended to be dizzy, the maids hadn't seen it, thinking about Xi Fuwei for fear of repeating Fu. Chuoxian's mistakes also existed, and he said truthfully, "Master took people to the bottom of Zhuangzi to see it!"
He also said, "I think the old lady thinks the son is still a little younger? When the old master was in the mansion, he always told the son to be a good student and enter school, and he didn't mean to let the son participate in the family business! But it is said that the son The husband was very strict. Because of the son’s stubbornness, he had taught him a few times, and once even got the old lady to come forward to chase the husband away. At that time, the wife was still on the go, and he persuaded the gentleman. Keep staying."
After hearing this, Xi Fuwei thought that Lusha was 80% of Mrs. Shang's. These words were a turning point to comfort herself. In the end, Mrs. Shang is in charge of this mansion. Although Mrs. Zhuang is a mother-in-law, the critical moment is still awkward. This daughter-in-law's too!
After all, counting the last time Fu Chuoxian "fainted", Zou Yiang ran to his grandmother to ask for help. This was at least the second time that Mrs. Zhuang lost to Mrs. Shang in a contest.
"Mrs. Shang has worked hard, but it is a pity that I have said something beyond the limits. Young Master Zou seems to be uncertain because of his age and still can't understand." Xi Fuwei said this, thinking to herself: There are just so few people in this mansion. The unmarried ladies, regardless of the identity of the girl or the age, can never expect to know anything secret.
The old Mrs. Zhuang above, as well as Patriarch Zou and Mrs. Shang, are not her young female husbands who can casually contact.
After thinking about it, I am afraid that Zou Yiang still has to fall on Zou Yiang's errand to be realized.
In the end, this is the only male heir of the Zou family, even if he is still young, as long as he is used properly, I am afraid that I will not be able to find out!
Thinking of this, her eyes flickered, and she secretly said: "So, not only will Zou Yiang come to the school to make trouble again, he can't blindly drive him, and even if he doesn't come, she has to try to attract him...otherwise, it will be the same. What can you do if you can't take it?"
As for whether this is not fair enough, after all, Zou Yiang is a bit stubborn, and he didn't even look at the opponent as a pawn, and it would be contemptuous to say it...Xi Fuwei can't care about it now. Up!
The so-called warehouse is real and knows etiquette, not only is she not the old lady of the Xi family who was sheltered by her father and brother, but even the lives of her aunts and nephews are squeezed into Lan's hands.
For the continuous inheritance of the Xi family, and also for the death of Xi Zongwang and Xi Fucui, one day it can surface in broad daylight...Xi Fuwei can no longer care about being ignorant of conscience at some time!
However, it may be that she deliberately hinted that Zou Yiang was still a child with no shoulder height, which hurt Zou Yiang's self-esteem. In the next two days, the master never appeared.
On the contrary, the new female husband Lu Sha said, the mother and daughter of the distant relatives of Mrs. Zhuang, finally arrived.
The mother and daughter had the same surname. According to Lusha, it seemed to escape the entanglement of her husband's house and a little trouble when the deceased husband was alive, so she asked her to change her surname to her mother.
My mother is about 30 years old, dressed plainly, but looking very capable, she is obviously capable of doing things.
She didn't say her boudoir name, only the surname Yao. Fu Chuoxian took the lead and called out "Aunt Yao" politely, and everyone shouted like that.
The daughter is one year younger than Xi Fuwei. She is a tidy and shy girl...at least it seems like that. She hides half of her body behind Yao's, timidly greets everyone, and then shrinks again. .
Upon seeing this, Yao had no choice but to add to her: "This is the little girl Zhuo Su, we are a small family, we have little knowledge, please take care of you!"
Xi Fuwei didn't say a word, and let Fu Chuoxian take the lead to say welcome, and then he echoed a few words.
The second floor of Fenzhi Tower had been divided by her and Fu Chuoxian, so Yao's mother and daughter lived downstairs.
When they first came to live, Mrs. Zhuang sent some things over, but apart from that, the old lady only yelled people to sigh and sighed on the day they arrived. It doesn't matter, I never asked again.
"I thought that since the old lady promised them to go northward for thousands of miles, she would definitely take it seriously!" Fu Chuoxian was a little relieved when he saw this, and said to Xi Fuwei in private, "Now it seems that we actually don't want to So caring."
After I said this, I probably felt a little bit cautious, and he was busy and said, "It doesn't matter what we are at first, but I am afraid that they are not easy to get along with, and they are relatives of the old lady, but trouble!"
Xi Fuwei smiled faintly, and said: "How many years have not been in contact with each other, even if it is a relative, isn't it a distant relative? I think it is the old lady's kindness, a little relationship, and she is willing to lend a helping hand... For Zou Mansion, raising such two people is a trivial matter."
Fu Chuoxian said: "It's also...well, I think they are still quiet these past two days, but I've let go of my heart."
After talking about Yao's mother and daughter, Fu Chuoxian suddenly said, "Master Zou will be back in two days, I'm afraid there will be a disturbance in this house!"
Since Xi Fuwei entered the Zou Mansion, she has not seen the Patriarch of the Zou family. She was startled when she heard the words, and hurriedly asked: "What does this sister mean?"
