Xi Fuwei opened the door and saw that it was Yao Zhuosu. He immediately guessed her purpose, but still smiled and invited her in to talk.
After making tea, the guests and hosts were seated, and after exchanging a few words, Yao Zhuosu brought the topic to Shen Tiaolan: "Sister, I went to Mr. Shen's place again today? But are you worried about Mr. Shen? The weather has been getting colder and colder recently. Okay, sister, you have to take care of yourself!"
This sounded considerate to Xi Fuwei, but Xi Fuwei knew that Yao Zhuosu's real purpose was to find out about Shen Tielan.
"Thank you for your concern, sister." She smiled and said, "Actually, I only worry about you for a few days. When my sister-in-law comes over, I won't need to keep an eye on her like this anymore."
Yao Zhuosu's face turned pale when he heard this. He held the tea bowl and froze for a long time before gathering his emotions and said: "Sister-in-law... sister-in-law? Is Mr. Shen already engaged?"
Xi Fuwei nodded happily: "Although we haven't crossed the road yet, we have already made an agreement."
Seeing that Yao Zhuosu was in despair after hearing this, she felt a little unbearable, but thinking of the ruthlessness of Xu Jingyuan and Song Jianiang, she sighed secretly, thinking that if she didn't do this, this silly girl would definitely mistake Shen Tielan for a down-and-out country squire. The son of the family is a man who is considered a good match for her, and they can talk about marriage.
However, it was difficult to tell Yao Zhuosu about Shen Tiaolan's true identity.
To prevent her from being targeted by Xu Jingyuan and Song Jianiang, she could only find a so-called prospective fiancée for Shen Diolan so that she could stop thinking about Yao Zhuosu.
Fortunately, Yao Zhuosu had only met Shen Tiaolan once so far. Even if she had a good impression of her, she probably wouldn't have to marry him.
"So that's it..." Yao Zhuosu was confused for a long time this time, unable to calm down the turmoil in his heart. In the end, he didn't know what he said and left in a hurry.
Xi Fuwei looked worried and wanted to send her off.
But even though Yao Zhuosu was still in a daze at the moment, he knew that he must be looking very embarrassed, and he didn't want to be seen by Shen Tielan's sister, so he insisted on pushing her away and stumbled out of the door.
Xi Fuwei couldn't resist her, so she could only hold her breath and listen to the movement.
Although her footsteps were a little messy, she still arrived downstairs calmly and then closed the door.
But Yao Zhuosu downstairs was pulled by Fu Chuoxian in surprise and asked: "What's going on? Didn't you go up and talk to Sister Shen nicely? How did you come down like this? Did Sister Shen bully you?"
"It's not... she... it's me..." Yao Zhuosu spoke incoherently, unable to explain the matter clearly for a while, and finally pushed her away and went back to the room crying.
When Fu Chuoxian saw this, he ran upstairs and banged Xi Fuwei's door.
Xi Fuwei opened it helplessly, and saw Fu Chuoxian frowning and asking him what was wrong. Yao Zhuosu sighed and asked the maids who followed him to get down. Then he whispered the reason: "She came to me and asked me about my tribe in a roundabout way. Brother, I said that my brother has already made a marriage agreement with someone, and it will be announced in a few days. She looked wrong! "
"So that's what happened!" Fu Chuoxian was relieved, but also complained a little, "Then you should speak more slowly! It's not that you don't know, Sister Yao has always been delicate, and after she became interested in your brother, , I was a little worried about gain and loss, for fear that your clan brother would not like her! In the past two days, I have been excitedly buying clothes and jewelry for a meeting at Qinglian Restaurant! But you gave her a slap in the face like this!"
"Aren't I afraid that if she doesn't know what's going on, she will become more affectionate in the future and find it even more difficult to extricate herself?" Xi Fuwei explained, "After all, she has only met my brother once now. Even if she is a little sad, she will probably be able to get over it in a few days. It's time to recover. If you don't explain it to her now, if you wait for a meeting at Qinglian Restaurant or something... won't it mean that you're going to hurt her even more?"
Fu Chuoxian thought about it, and softened his tone to apologize to her: "I spoke too hastily just now, and I offended my sister. Please don't be the same as me!"
Xi Fuwei said she didn't mind: "Sister, it's also for the harmony of Fenzhilou."
"Isn't it?" Fu Chuoxian said with emotion when he heard this, "Just like what I just said, you, me, and sister Yao, all three of us are actually in the same boat: if my father hadn't been away, this would have been impossible. They must still be serving as maids in their respective homes! Living together in the Zou Mansion now is considered a fate! In this case, we should work together to find a good future! "
Xi Fuwei said sincerely, "So although Mr. Ouyang does things a little more casually, he was elected as a scholar at a young age. He must have devoted himself to reading the books of sages. Sometimes it is inevitable that he does things improperly! As long as he truly loves you. , you might as well think about it... To be honest, the young men I made an appointment with at Qinglian Restaurant this time have much better family backgrounds than him, but when it comes to homework, none of them can compare with him!"
"That's what my sister said." Xi Fuwei prevaricated, "But I heard that Mr. Ouyang has a lot of confidantes. I'm afraid it's just a joke and it's hard to take it seriously. Besides, my family situation has declined now, and I don't even have any serious family members. , but Mr. Ouyang has a bright future, but if their family backgrounds are not matched, they will still have worries even if they are really together."
Fu Chuoxian said disapprovingly: "What are you afraid of? Mr. Ouyang is a scholar, and scholars are most concerned about face. As the saying goes, a poor wife will never go to court! Don't worry about how he becomes a noble person in the future, as long as he marries you now, you will His married wife! In the backyard, you will always be the biggest one!"
The voice lowered, "The key is that you have to give birth to your eldest son as soon as possible! In this way, no matter what kind of fox comes into the backyard in the future, they will never get past you!"
Xi Fuwei said with a smile: "I am very jealous, I am afraid I can't tolerate others. But I can't be the wife of such a promising person."
"You are just talking like a child." Fu Chuoxian said disapprovingly, "If we are still the eldest lady supported by a group of people now, we can still maintain a high airs if we find someone from a poor family who is grateful and repays kindness. Now. You no longer have a family to rely on, and you still have to be jealous... How can you live a good life? Don't think that you don't have to worry about marrying a poor family member. You have a little money in your hand, and you don't care about your family's livelihood, but you have to Let’s go to those dirty places and have a good time... There are a lot of people like this! Since men in this world are bound to change their hearts, why not find someone with a good family background, so that they can live easier and faster?"
Xi Fuwei actually agreed with what she said. For women like them who have been accustomed to a good life since childhood, if they suddenly have to adapt to a simple life, nine out of ten people will not be able to get used to it.
Otherwise, there wouldn’t have been so many official girls throughout the ages who became girls’ school teachers after their families fell into decline. It’s not that they can only take this path, but they are used to the good life of fine clothes and fine food, and suddenly they are no longer qualified to marry into such a family. She is unwilling to find an ordinary husband like an ordinary woman. She does everything by herself and is busy and disheveled. She may have to endure picky parents-in-law, slanderous sisters-in-law and uncles, a husband who is out looking for flowers, and a bunch of children surrounding him asking for food. Drink... wasted years.
So I simply gritted my teeth and traded in the beauty, beauty, music, chess, calligraphy and painting that my parents had nurtured during their time, in exchange for the days when I could continue to be free from the sun.
Fu Chuoxian's ideas look utilitarian, but they are actually quite decent.
At least she didn't want to go into trouble.
Of course, consent is consent, but it doesn't mean that Xi Fuwei has to do the same.
At this moment, he acted obediently and said a few obsequious words to Fu Chuoxian, intending to coax him away.
However, it was easy for Sister Fu to be nice. Fu Chuoxian remembered one more thing: "The post I sent to your clan brother before was mainly because of Sister Yao's request. Now Sister Yao... I saw your clan brother that day. Brother, why don't you go there? It's not that I dislike him, but I'm afraid that Sister Yao will see him and be reluctant to let him go."
After saying this, he couldn't help but ask, "How can your clan brother be such a brilliant person? How can you expect such an honest person like Sister Yao to be so attached to you after just meeting her once?"
Xi Fuwei asked in surprise: "Didn't sister see him that day?"
"Of course I didn't see it!" Fu Chuoxian said, "Not long after I sat down at the table that day, I got separated from Sister Yao."
Well, it must have been that not long after she sat down at the table, she left Yao Zhuosu to catch her golden husband.
"My clan brother has a very decent appearance. But when it comes to how good he is, everyone will be attracted to him." Xi Fuwei said, "You will know when you see it with your own eyes on my sister's birthday."
Seeing Fu Chuoxian frowning, she explained, "It's not that I meant to embarrass my sister, it's just that I just gave him the post, and he agreed and said he would definitely be there. If I go to tell him now... He is just me after all. Clan brother, not my biological brother."
Fu Chuoxian then imagined that she was also frightened in front of Shen Tiaolan, sighed, and finally stopped insisting that Shen Tiaolan would not go, and said: "Then I will arrange a seat so that your clan brother can leave as much as possible. Sister Yao, stay away!”
Xi Fuwei comforted her: "Actually, sister Yao might not go by herself then?"
After all, Shen Tiaolan said that the reason why he was going to the Qinglian Restaurant for the banquet was because he was worried that Xu Jingyuan would take this opportunity to kill Xi Fuwei.
This boss was not Ouyang Yuanshui, who came to her to show his courtesy when he had nothing to do.
Since he said this, he probably received more accurate news.
How could Xi Fuwei agree to Fu Chuoxian's proposal
This is related to her life!
As for saying that he made excuses not to go out and not give Xu Jingyuan a chance
Xi Fuwei wouldn’t do that!
Finally, Shen Diaolan took the initiative to protect his subordinates. Xi Fuwei was eager for him to fight Xu Jingyuan. The harder the fight, the better!
Keep the hatred deeper!
Then let Shen Diolan deal with the noble ladies that she can't deal with!
So I can only feel sorry for Yao Zhuosu now.
Well, I'm not sorry.
After all, by making up an excuse to cut off Yao Zhuosu's thoughts, is she tactfully saving Yao Zhuosu's life
Otherwise, Yao Zhuosu is so ignorant that he might reveal his thoughts in Qinglian Restaurant. When the news comes to Xu Jingyuan, is he afraid that he will make this girl look good every minute
After dealing with Fu Chuoxian, Xi Fuwei tidied up, and the day passed.
It was time to take a bath in two days. To her surprise, Yao Zhuosu, whom she had made an appointment with before, did not hide in the house, but came up early in the morning and knocked on the door: "Sister Shen, are you up? Still there?" Remember? We agreed to go to the market together today!"
