The Beautiful Land

Chapter 18: What hatred or resentment?

Views:

"Is it because this person has no credibility in the first place? Yesterday he promised not to interfere in the school's affairs, but today he breaks the agreement. Or is there someone obstructing him and deliberately provoking it?" Xi Fuwei thought in her mind and thought to herself, " Ordinarily, since this Zou Yiang is the only male heir of this generation of the Zou family, even if he is extremely naughty and the lintel of the Zou family is here, even if he wants to break his promise, he will not be so shameless the next day, right? If he is really shameless, yesterday After someone was stopped by my words, why should he immediately step down instead of messing around?"

If Zou Yiang hadn't regretted it... Xi Fuwei would have inevitably suspected that someone was doing something behind the scenes and deliberately stumbling upon herself!

She was new here, and the restaurant hadn't officially opened yet, so she wouldn't be able to bother anyone in the Zou family. The only person she might offend was probably Fu Chuoxian

After all, Fu Chuoxian and she were both newly hired female teachers from the Zou Mansion. Although one taught musical instruments and the other taught poetry, there seemed to be no conflict in their studies, but as they were both female teachers, it was impossible not to be compared in the future.

Originally, Fu Chuoxian was a little older and entered the Zou Mansion. He naturally assumed some senior postures toward Xi Fuwei later.

Xi Fuwei's purpose of coming here to be a female teacher was not simple, so she had no objection to it... But she couldn't resist Zou Yiang and wanted to cause trouble.

Yesterday, he belittled Fu Chuoxian several times but praised Xi Fuwei. Although Xi Fuwei immediately explained to Fu Chuoxian afterwards, saying that this person was deliberately provoking, Fu Chuoxian also expressed his understanding... But this kind of thing , it is hard to say whether she really understood, or was just a cover-up, or whether she understood that Zou Yiang had bad intentions, but still couldn't suppress her jealousy.

Xi Fuwei's thoughts were racing, and while saying hello to Zou Qiongruo and the other girls, she walked up to Zou Yiang and said, "Why is Mr. Zou here free today?"

"Is there a day when I'm not free at home?" Zou Yiang saw what she was thinking. He smiled half-heartedly, leaned back and said in a manly voice, "I have nothing to do. I heard that you are opening the restaurant today, so I came over to take a look... Why? , aren’t you welcome?”

Could it be that the person who was blocked by him in front of Fu Chuoxian yesterday felt unhappy and came here specifically to cause trouble

Xi Fuwei thought this and smiled: "Young Master Zou is joking. I'm just worried that you ladies are young and the lessons taught to them are naturally simple and superficial. Young Master Zou will find it boring and will ruin your interest."

Hearing this, Zou Yiang said with a smile: "I said you were treacherous and cunning yesterday, but you still refused to admit it! Now you have exposed your weakness? Are you afraid of showing your cowardice? Have you found a good reason in advance? "

"Young master, be careful." Xi Fuwei said to herself: What kind of grudge does this kid have against her? He is such a rich young master, he has nothing to do. What are you doing wrong? Let's not talk about murder and arson. You lead two losers on the street to molest a good family. Is the girl bad

Why did you come to the school to listen to the class

Every word and every word speaks to your heart!

She murmured to herself, but the smile on her face grew brighter, and she said, "I'm just worried that the young master will find this kind of enlightenment course boring because of his profound knowledge."

Zou Yiang waved his hand carelessly: "My knowledge is not profound at all! Otherwise, my mother would not have bothered about my studies until now! What do you think my mother should do to hire a female teacher for her sisters? She just wants the guidance of the master of ethnic studies. I'm already exhausted enough on my own, but if I have to take care of the younger sisters, I'm afraid it will be too much! So it's better to hire a teacher specifically for the younger sisters!"

Xi Fuwei really wanted to tell him, since you are so self-aware...can't you go back to the clan school, study hard, and work hard to make up for your shortcomings

"Young master Zou, you are joking!" She didn't want to continue chatting with this dude, so she gave a fake smile and walked away.

I went outside and walked a few steps. I guess the people inside couldn't see me anymore, so I immediately rushed to the back with three steps and two steps at a time... Behind this was a row of three rooms, one with light and two with darkness, and one in the middle. It was set up as a tea room for female teachers to relax between lectures.

Xi Fuwei went in now and saw Fu Chuoxian sitting on top, drinking tea. When he saw her, he smiled and said, "You went inside to take a look? How do you like it? All the ladies are pretty good-natured, right?" Mrs. Shang is very kind-hearted and has raised them to be very sensible and considerate."

After saying this, I suddenly remembered that several ladies had a tendency to imitate Zou Yiang. The smile on his lips stiffened slightly, and he continued, "Although there are occasionally naughty moments, they are children after all! Just teach them. .”

"Of course the ladies are all well-behaved." Xi Fuwei sighed and complained, "It's just... Sister, who do you think is in there? Mr. Zou! I said a few words to him, but he just said to come over and take a look at the situation. By the way, I want to weigh my abilities... I don't want him to leave, but I'm afraid that if I leave him there, he will keep making trouble for me when I give lectures, then... "

"What are you talking about? Mr. Zou is in the school again?!" Fu Chuoxian's eyes widened when he heard this, and he said in disbelief, "Didn't he promise just yesterday that he would never trick the ladies into playing again? ! Only a few hours have passed, and the old disease has relapsed as if nothing had happened?!"

She pushed the tea bowl angrily, "No! I have to go find the madam! Even if she may offend the old madam, she can't care about it! The ladies are easily distracted at this age, and if he is asked to do this, who will be left in the future? Do you want to sit down, listen to the class with concentration and learn to do it? What people don’t know is that instead of saying that Mr. Zou is confused and ruining the knowledge of his sisters, he blames our professors for being incompetent and delaying their young ladies’ future... It’s so unjust to hold the blame!!!”

"With our talents and knowledge, it's not impossible to become a female teacher in other people's homes. Why bother to ruin our reputation for this dude!"

"Sister, please wait!" After careful observation, although Fu Chuoxian was not sure whether Fu Chuoxian was pretending to be angry or was really angry, Xi Fuwei immediately stepped forward to stop him and said softly, "Sister, please listen to me. Say! I just politely asked him why he came, but he just said that he happened to have some free time at the moment, so he came over to listen... I suspect that after I teased him yesterday, he didn't get angry out of shame. But I feel so unhappy that I have come to look for trouble right now!"

"After all, I'm new here, and he doesn't know much about me!"

"Since he is a face-saving person, he will naturally not provoke for no reason. He will always find a reason... No, I am going to give a lecture soon. There are so many words and sentences. Is he afraid that he will not find a chance to retaliate?"

When she said this, she looked at Fu Chuoxian with a slightly worried but calm look, hoping to catch any subtle changes on her face.

But he saw Fu Chuoxian was stunned for a moment, just frowning, and said worriedly: "Then what should we do? Originally, his identity in Zou Mansion is not something we can offend! If he hadn't done too much, we would have been helpless. If we stay in the Zou Mansion, we won't be forced to argue with him... I really didn't expect that this young master would be so petty, and then he would take revenge the next day!"

"Isn't he happy that he won't drive us away?!"

Fu Chuoxian was a little angry. After thinking for a while, he said to Xi Fuwei, "In my opinion, it is better to report this matter to Madam! Otherwise, there will be endless troubles! Even if he is a bad person, he can persuade him to complain first. Madam, sister, I'm afraid you won't be able to stand in this house in the future... For now, the only way is to let Madam know that Mr. Zou's actions against us and you are all for revenge! Otherwise, the ladies are still young now, How do you know if your husband is very capable or good? You turned around and told him to instigate you, and together you said something wrong with you in front of my wife... It happened too many times, even if my wife is a sensible person, she will still argue with you! By that time , what do you want to do?"

Xi Fuwei thought that what she said coincided with his own considerations, so he nodded and said: "He keeps saying that he is here to attend the lectures. I don't want to go and tell Madam now! After all, what the Zou family said before I am inviting a female gentleman to a few ladies. He has been very kind to us these days, and the treatment is much better than expected. Their young master plans to come over and listen to it. It is also a lesson for opening the library. Isn't it natural? Let's make trouble in front of the madam. If we ask for him to be driven away, even if Madam is good-natured and agrees to it, she will definitely feel unhappy and even doubt our abilities!"

She pondered for a moment, "So what if we do this: let him attend the lecture later! If he is really nitpicking, I will ask Madam for instructions?"

Fu Chuoxian nodded and reminded her: "If you want to do this, when he is looking for trouble later, even if he talks nonsense, you must calm him down first! Otherwise, he will lose his dignity in front of these ladies, and it will not be good in the future. Training!”

Xi Fuwei thought that although Zou Yi'ang was the son of Zou Mansion, as the only male heir and the confirmed heir, he was three years younger than herself. In a verbal dispute, she was still afraid of him

She never thought that she would lose, so she didn't take it seriously. When she heard this, she just smiled and said: "Thank you, Sister Fu, for reminding me... I will take care of it!"

The two chatted a few more words, mainly because Fu Chuoxian taught Xi Fuwei, who was a first-time teacher, some tips on attracting Zou Qiongruo and other students. Xi Fuwei was very impressed when he heard that, and couldn't help but said: "Sister Fu, You are so smart! You have only been here a few days and you know so many things. If it were me, you wouldn’t be able to do it! I really don’t know how lucky I am to meet you!"

"It's not something I learned in the past few days." Fu Chuoxian said humbly when he heard this, "When I was at home, I often served as husband to several of my nieces and nephews. Of course, my family has fallen into disgrace now, so for my children, The schoolwork is also a bit unmotivated... I give them lectures, but I only cover the surface, it’s nothing.”

Xi Fuwei noticed that when she mentioned "nephews and nieces", her face darkened a little, as if she had touched something sad.

"Anyway, thank you sister for giving me all your help!" Xi Fuwei wrote down this point calmly and said, "It's getting late, I'll go over first... Let's see what Mr. Zou's purpose is?"
