Chapter 40: Helpless Wen Xianyun

After a long while, Mrs. Shang looked at Xi Fuwei's leaving back, thoughtfully.
Ying'er changed her cup of hot tea and said, "Madam, this person didn't tell the truth. It has not been a few years since Xi's family settled in Dongchang Mansion. Although Xi Fucui was a recognized seed of reading when he was alive, his contacts were limited. Otherwise, how could the family be ruined as soon as people leave? So what Xi Fuwei said that she came to Jining from Dongchang Mansion with the help of Xi Fucui's old life, which may not be credible."
"Of course it's not credible." Mrs. Shang said, "Wen Xianyun's words have already hinted that Xi Fuwei is probably Jin Yiwei's hidden son. She was able to escape from Dongchang Mansion with her nephew. , About Mo is the hand of Jin Yiwei! Her nephew has never appeared, and she must be a hostage in the hands of those eagle dogs! Isn't she stupid? Jining is not very far from Dongchang Mansion, before my Zou family and Wen family Although there is not much friendship, but after this project started, according to the established rules, everyone is a prominent family in Shandong, and they have to sit down and discuss things like rewards... She can't walk around any day. She can rest assured in our house. Openly settled?"
Ying'er was surprised: "Jin Yiwei?!"
Just panic, "Such a person... Then you can't keep her down!"
"Why?" Mrs. Shang took a sip of tea, and said lightly, "If Jin Yiwei intends to be our house, would he send such a girl over to be a gentleman?"
"But Madam, those eagle dogs are cruel." Ying'er has been following her, and there are many secrets that Zou Yiang can't know at the moment. She is already in touch, so she also knows some of the current situation in the Zou Mansion, and bit her lip. "They only sent this Xi Fuwei to sneak into our mansion now, but I don’t know if they will do anything in the future..."
Madam Shang sighed and interrupted her: "So what? Are we going to kick Xi Fuwei out? But the master has not decided who to turn to, and offend Jin Yiwei hastily, is it smart?"
Ying'er was speechless.
My maid, who had previously questioned Xi Fuwei why he didn’t care about his father and brother’s funeral, said,
Madam, I heard from the people who told me that Song Shangshu will be at Dongchang Mansion recently. Now that Wen Xianyun can say that he can do it. Miss Xu from the Guogong’s Mansion and Song Shangshu’s Loved Daughter came to support him. Maybe they got Song Shangshu’s acquiescence. In this case...Is it necessary to make a living plan in our mansion?"
The canal that began in the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period has been around for thousands of years. Although it has been congested so badly in recent years that it cannot bear the heavy task of transporting goods between North and South, it does not mean that the entire river is blocked.
It’s just that this section including Shandong, which means that the river will be blocked, and some places have even disappeared completely. Without the guidance of the local elderly, they don’t even know that this place was once a river bed. It is considered that the idea of ​​ships going north is completely cut off. .
In other words, this time the imperial court wanted to dredge the canal. If other rivers are really dredged, the section that will lead to the river is the real big project.
Whether it is Song Li or the court, the focus and attention are also placed here.
The importance of Shandong, or the impact on the big canal households in Dongchang and Yanzhou can be imagined.
Now the Wen family has suspected that the Song family has been fighting fiercely, and they don't even know how to catch the Dingguo Mansion, and the Zou Mansion...Zou Mansion is still pondering.
"..." When this question was mentioned, Mrs. Shang also frowned. After a while, she said, "I will tell the master about this question. The most important thing today is the old lady’s birthday. We have been out for so long. Time to go back."
Standing up, thinking for a while and telling the two maids, "Don't tell the public about Xi Fuwei's affairs. I will call her Mr. Shen in the future, as if nothing happened!"
Ying'er and Xing'er agreed, Ying'er thought for a while, and then said: "Madam, it was not the son who was naughty, did you trick Mr. Shen into jumping into the lake? Afterwards, the servant and maid looked ashamed of the son?"
"It's nothing." Mrs. Shang shook her head. "As far as the matter is concerned, although Xi Fuwei has a plan to enter the Zou Mansion, she also really wanted to save Yiang. This matter is indeed Yiang done wrong. Today, the punishment that deserves to be punished, the thankfulness that deserves to be thanked, just follow our family's usual rules!"
After sighing, she took the lead and walked out, "Let’s see what's going on with the old lady. Wen Xianyun is uneasy and kind. Those two ladies are also distinguished. I am in Zou Mansion..."
She paused at this point before continuing, "I have no choice in the Zou Mansion so far. At this moment, I need to consider their attitude."
Mrs. Shang's face was very solemn when she said this, but Wen Xianyun, who was picking up the matter at the moment, looked very relaxed!
In fact, Mrs. Shang told Xi Fuwei that Wen Xianyun's openly digging with the Zou family was an excuse to test Xi Fuwei.
Wen Xianyun is not a fool. He has no grievances with Zou Mansion. Today’s affairs are ordered to take away Xi Fuwei, who is a female husband in Zou Mansion, and do anything to disturb Mrs. Zhuang’s birthday party. Zou Mansion, and people close to Zou Mansion hate him?
Earlier when Xi Fucui did not die, he was impeccably caring for the Xi family, let alone the Zou family, who was on par with Wen family?
What's more, Xu Jingyuan and Song Jianiang want to deal with Xi Fuwei, in the final analysis, they are jealous of fighting for the wind.
But their identities cannot be openly related to this kind of thing.
So when they explained to Wen Xianyun, they told him that during the whole process, they could only give Wen Xianyun a limited degree without arousing discussion.
It is impossible to end in person regardless of everything.
In this case, Zou Mansion's face was blatantly lost, and Zou Mansion would not easily give in in order to fight for the upper and lower sides of Yanzhou Mansion!
Reluctantly, he thought about drinking the shou wine first, and when he turned around, he would tell the Zou family privately, but the servants of the Zou Mansion told him to make things difficult for Xi Fuwei and reported it to Mrs. Zhuang first!
This is not the point. The point is that Mrs. Zhuang’s dear, Zou Yi'ang was there at the time. He was feeling sorry for Xi Fuwei. He exploded when he heard this. At that time, he wanted to trouble Wen Xianyun!
He simply coaxed him around and forced him to stay in front of Mrs. Zhuang.
But not long after, Wen Xianyun came over to congratulate Mrs. Zhuang on her birthday. Mrs. Zhuang smiled and said two polite remarks, and the baby grandson rushed out, chuckling and talking about the son’s report. Give an explanation to the Zou Mansion: "My female husband of the Zou Mansion, and the teacher of my sisters, you can also offend?! What do you think of our Zou family!!!"
When he said this, the faces of the top figures in Yanzhou Prefecture were not looking good. At this time, the local concept was very heavy. Although Dongchang Prefecture and Yanzhou Prefecture were adjacent to and bordering each other, in front of a room of Yanzhou people, Wen Xianyun was a good one. outsider.
An outsider ran on his side and molested the female teacher of the first-class local family. Isn't this a provocation? !
Everyone thought of the news of the imperial court for almost an instant, thought of the dredging of the canal, thought of shuffling, thought of the seat of the first big family on the riverside!
"Although it is said that a gentle lady is a gentleman, she should be in estrus rather than courtesy." There is right now. The anxious person said, "Dongchang Wenjia is not a small family, Mr. Wen, you say Is it true?"
"This is a misunderstanding." These words seem to be restrained, but they allude to Wen Jia's ignorance of etiquette. Even if Wen Xianyun didn't want to make things big, he can't watch Wen Jia's reputation suffer at this moment, and he sinks slightly now. With a complexion, he arched her hand towards the old lady Zhuang and said, "In fact, the female teacher in your house is the younger fiancee Xi! Something happened to the Xi family before, and the Xi family’s nephew was rumored to be buried in the fire, but there was no Finding the corpse is because the younger generation has always been suspicious! I don’t want to see her in your house today. I didn’t want to disturb the old lady’s birthday, so I planned to come back to discuss the matter in two days. I didn’t think I was misunderstood by the prince of your house. Up!"
Mrs. Zhuang frowned and said, "Really? But among the female husbands of my girls, there is no surname Xi. And every female husband is innocent and has a certificate and a guarantor. There are also people with similar looks in the world. No, not to mention that since it is Master Wen’s fiancée, she obviously hasn’t gotten along with each other day and night. Maybe it’s a mistake, right?"
The old lady said that, in fact, it was not that she had to protect Xi Fuwei without asking Qinghongsuanbai, but Zou Yiang yelled about it. At this moment, following Wen Xianyun's words, wouldn't it make Zou Yiang's actions be wrong? Zou Yiang's identity in the Zou family is not under that of Wen Xianyun, and even worse than that of Wen Xianyun... The descendants of the Wen family are prosperous, but unlike the Zou family, there is only one seedling.
Mrs. Zhuang, who loves her grandson so much, why would she say her grandson for Wen Xianyun?
Besides, Xi Fuwei has been a female husband in the Zou Mansion for some time. If she gets a reputation for escaped marriage, would the young ladies of the Zou Family be embarrassed?
"The old lady doesn't know that the reason why the younger generation married the Xi family is because the younger generation has the same brotherhood with Xi's elder Xi Fucui. A few years ago, they were good friends in the family." Wen Xianyun said, "At that time, the Xi family was still young. , Because the younger generation’s mother-in-law went early and personally took care of Xi Fucui’s daily daily life, so when the younger generation went to Xi’s house, they would often meet each other. Therefore, although they were never married, they were very familiar with each other and would definitely not admit their mistakes. of!"
He said categorically, and Mrs. Zhuang said indifferently, "Really? But if it is really your fiancee Xi, why go to Jining to come to our house? After all, the lintel of the Wen family is not under the house, and the son is the son of the Wen family. , Your wife, will be the mistress of Wen's house in the future! Just ask anyone in the world who would be so stupid as to leave a big family with the mistress of the house. Girl worried?"
Most of the guests present agreed with her, saying that Wen Xianyun must have made a mistake.
Zou Yiang said: "I haven't seen your fiancée here. Who knows if what you said is true or false? But Mr. Shen is recognized as both talented and beautiful."
At this moment, there are more people who suspect that Wen Xianyun will be upset, but when Zou Yiang said this, Mrs. Zhuang quietly squeezed it. After all, Zou Yiang is still a child in the mind of the old lady, but it can also be discussed. My dear is old.
Now he says that Xi Fuwei is both talented and beautiful, and since most of the people present are from the Yanzhou Prefecture, they naturally help the Zou family to speak.
However, I may not think too much about it. Even if Zou Yiang speaks for a female gentleman, do you think this female gentleman is both good-looking?
Mrs. Zhuang didn't want her grandson to get involved in the rumors of romantic affairs.
"Let's do it." The old lady said after squeezing her grandson, "The old man feels that Mr. Wen is not like that kind of rude person. Because he misses his fiancee too much, it is impossible to admit his mistake... It is better to wait for the old man's birthday to pass. , Stay for a few days to clarify things thoroughly, so that you can solve the confusion in Master Wen's heart and avoid disturbing your guests' Yaxing, how?"
This was originally Wen Xianyun's plan. At this moment, after weighing it up, he must nod his head.
Xu Jingyuan, who didn’t want to keep watching coldly, suddenly said:
Old lady, this matter is actually very easy to solve, so I just called Mr. Shen over and confronted him in court, that’s it! After all, she is considered an old girl, that is, a teenage girl. The film, in front of you, is it still dripping?"
She said this because she was watching Mrs. Zhuang's words to defend Xi Fuwei, worried that after today, what if the Zou Mansion will quietly send Xi Fuwei away?
According to Song Li's request, she and Song Jianiang could only stay in Jining for this day and would leave tomorrow.
At that time, although Xi Fuwei could still be remotely controlled, it was not easy enough to see this person's ruin in person, and secondly, stealing the blue was not a fuel-efficient lamp, and it was impossible to just sit and watch them move their people.
So at this moment, I saw that everybody wanted to calm down, and I couldn't help but speak in person, "I figured it out at that time, and it saved people from up and down guessing wildly, which ruined the reputation of Wen Jia Zou's family!"
No one spoke for a while in the class, all looked at Mrs. Zhuang.
Mrs. Zhuang's face was very ugly, and she glanced calmly at the seat not far away... The place was originally the seat of her daughter-in-law, Mrs. Shang, but she didn't know when it was empty.
The old lady knew that Mrs. Shang must have gone to Na Xi Fuwei to ask her to understand. She felt relieved that she still trusted her daughter-in-law's abilities. At this moment, she pondered for a moment, narrowed her eyes, and said lightly: "Ms. Xu has said so, how can you be disappointed when you are old?"
When these words were said, the atmosphere in the whole hall became more and more depressing: Wen Jia had already embraced the thighs of Dingguo Gongfu and Shangshu of the Ministry of Industry, and it seemed that the thighs were so strong that even the personal affairs of Wen Jiazongzi Trying hard to get the prostitute to go out in person... No, maybe it's not a private matter, maybe this is the reason why Wen Jia went to war with the Zou Family?
In this section of the Huitong River in Shandong, where the two big clans are divided, where can one dominate the fun?
...Xi Fuwei stepped into the lobby in such an atmosphere.
