Poor Family Laity

  Chapter 165, clarification

   "It's that man again!"

  It will soon enter November, and the temperature is getting colder every day. After school in the afternoon, Shi Fuxin sits directly in the carriage and waits for Shi Fuyin.

  After getting into the carriage, Shi Fuxin lifted a corner of the curtain and looked at a woman on the opposite street who was carrying a basket of plum blossoms and hawking loudly.

   In the past few days, she has seen this woman almost every day.

  When you go out in the morning, meet once outside the gate of Bofu, and once after school in the afternoon, meet once at the gate of the State Women's Prison.

   This woman is watching her and her sister.

  Even if she concealed it well and would change her outfit every time she appeared, she couldn't hide it from her.

  Shi Fuxin didn't like to wait passively, so she was silent for a while, opened the door, got out of the carriage, and then walked straight towards the opposite street.

  When the woman saw Shi Fuxin found herself, she took a step and wanted to leave, but after taking two steps, she stopped again, turned around, and faced Shi Fuxin who was approaching.

  When Shi Fuxin was still a few meters away from her, the woman suddenly walked towards her, and when she passed by, she said quickly:

   "Duke Qing's Mansion is not headed by the Luo family. If you take revenge on the wrong person, even if you kill the Luo family, the persecution of your sister will not stop."

  Shi Fuxin's eyes flickered, and she turned around to ask, but the woman walked away quickly.

  The pace is very fast, and it is obvious at a glance that the woman can do light work.

  Shi Fuxin didn't chase after her. Judging from the woman's words, she didn't seem to have any malice towards them. On the contrary, from her hoarse tone, she could hear the deep hatred for Duke Qing's mansion.

  Who is this person?

  She seems to know Qing Guo Gongfu very well.

   She knew all the information that even cigarette bags could not find out.

  The Duke Qing’s Mansion is not headed by the Luo family, so who is the head of the house?

   Yan party?

  People from the Yan Party mixed up in Duke Qing’s mansion. They might be the confidantes, wives and concubines of the Luo family. They influenced the decisions of the Luo family. It seemed that the Luo family was doing all kinds of bad things, but they were actually manipulating them behind the scenes?

  Shi Fuxin went back to the carriage with her chin sticking out.

  Back when she learned that Duke Qing's mansion belonged to the Yan Party, she was very surprised.

Duke Qing is in charge of the Sanqian Battalion, one of the three major camps in the capital. He is regarded as an important minister in the emperor's heart. With the Duke in his body, as long as he is loyal and peaceful, even if the younger generation is not outstanding, he can continue to maintain prosperity and wealth within three generations. .

  They have absolutely no reason to be a Yan Party, risking the great crime of killing the nine clans to commit rebellion!

  The effort is seriously out of proportion to the gain, and the cost of failure is extremely high. Anyone with a little brain will not do this.

  If it is said that the Yan Party is in the back house of Duke Qing’s mansion, and the women in the back house influence the men who do things, it makes sense.

   It just so happened that Duke Qing had a concubine who drove his original wife crazy and killed his son and daughter.

  What was the purpose of the woman telling her this just now?

  Shi Fuxin rested her chin on one hand, tapped the coffee table with her fingers, and frowned slightly in thought.

  The woman wanted to use her hand, no, the Wuchang uncle's mansion behind her to deal with Duke Qing's mansion?

  In a mansion of a state, Duke Qing is still a person who holds great power. If there is no real evidence, if he confronts him rashly, he will only startle the snake and usher in the crazy revenge of the Yan Party.

   "What do you think?"

  When Fuyin got into the carriage, she saw her sister thinking about something.

  Shi Fuxin talked about what happened just now.

  After Shi Fuyin heard this, she thought for a while and said, "You and I don't even know what that man's plan is. You, you must not act rashly, lest you fall into other people's tricks."

  Shi Fuxin nodded: "I know."

   After the two sisters picked up Shi Dinghao, they went back to Bo's residence together.

  As soon as he entered the mansion, he saw Director Shi with a slightly sad expression.

   "Boss Shi looks bitter and bitter, what's going on?"

  Shi Dinghao muttered.

  After the three siblings returned to Yiguiyuan, they heard Jin Yuee say what happened.

  It turns out that today is the day when the imperial court ordered women to visit the queen mother and empress, and Mrs. Shi also went, and in front of the queen and all the wives, she clarified the rumors that Shi Fuyin and Luo Yuanqing were engaged.

  Shi Dinghao smiled and said, "This is a good thing."

  Shi Fuyin lowered her eyes: "Because of me, the mansion has completely offended Duke Qing's mansion."

  Jin Yue'e hurriedly said: "Sister Yin, don't think too much, but you still have to go to Yixiangtang to thank the old lady later."

   "Before, I was always worried about how to clarify the rumors. It seemed that no matter what I did, I couldn't stop other people's mouths."

   "It's all right now, your grandmother clarified this matter in front of the empress, and no one else dared to mention it anymore."

  Shi Fuxin also said: "Sister, you didn't cause this trouble, but you are still a victim. Don't blame yourself."

   paused.

   "However, when Grandmother clarified the rumors about you and Luo Yuanqing in public when the queen met with her wife, it was indeed a slap in the face of Duke Qing."

  The current situation of the Yibo Mansion is not as strong as that of the Duke Qing Mansion. It is indeed not easy for the old lady to stand up.

  Shi Fuyin stood up and said, "I'm going to Yixiang Hall to see my grandmother."

   "I'm with you."

  Shi Fuxin followed.

   Soon, the two sisters arrived at Yixiangtang.

  At that time, the old lady was drinking bird's nest and white fungus soup. When she saw the two sisters coming, she asked them to sit down and ordered Mother An to serve them a bowl too.

   "I like drinking this."

  Watching Shi Fuxin take the white fungus soup with a smile, and drank it happily, Mrs. Shi couldn't help but laugh in her heart. This girl is very sweet when she is good, and she is really annoying when she is a jerk.

Mrs. Shi shifted her gaze to Shi Fuyin, and Sister Yin was about to become more demure, knowing that she was thinking about something, she took the initiative to say: "The rumors between you and Luo Yuanqing are clarified, this matter is over, even if you hear some things in the future There is no need to pay attention to gossip."

  Shi Fuyin put down the bowl, got up and said, "Thank you, grandma."

  When the old lady smiled and asked her to sit down, she continued: "Everything is a blessing and a curse. In order to suppress the rumors, I chose to clarify in the palace. This is good or bad."

   "The good thing is that the rumors can be cut at the source. The bad thing is that you may get the attention of the nobles in the palace in the next draft."

  Shi Fuyin's relaxed expression became tense again.

  Shi Fuxin saw it, and quickly reminded: "Sister, you have body odor, so you won't be selected."

  When the old lady heard this, she was stunned: "Sister Yin has it."

  Shi Fuxin nodded seriously: "Yes, my sister has body odor."

  Mrs. Shi was very speechless. She glanced at Shi Fuyin who was drooping her head and said nothing. She couldn't guess that it was a fake. She wanted to reprimand the two of them not to smear their reputations, but they swallowed the words again.

  The uncle's mansion has been far away from the court for too long, and there is no manpower in the palace.

  Sister Yin is good-looking, good at kung fu, and has an elder brother who is an imperial guard. For the princes who are about to get married, they are of great value.

  The situation in the uncle's mansion is not enough for Sister Yin to become the prince's concubine.

  Even for the emperor, a girl like Sister Yin, who is different from the ladies in Beijing, is attractive.

   In this way, once Sister Yin is selected, she will either enter the palace as a concubine or become a child of the prince.

  To be a concubine, compared with having body odor and losing a good son-in-law, it is better to have body odor.

  Shi Fuxin had just finished drinking the bird's nest and white fungus soup in the bowl, and when she wanted to have another bowl, she saw Mrs. Shi Wu leading Shi Fuyue in.

  When the old lady glanced at the mother and daughter, she went straight to the point: "The order for the draft has been issued. Since Sister Yue is not engaged, let's participate in the draft with Sister Yin."

   Mrs. Shi Wu hesitated to speak, she glanced at Shi Fuyue, and finally fell silent.

   Mrs. Shi looked at Shi Fuyue: "Sister Yue, our women's life is tied to a man. If you choose a man well, the rest of your life will be easy. If you don't choose a man well, you may have to live a hard life."

   "Some days, it looks bitter on the surface, but as long as the husband and wife have the same heart, the life can be sweet in the bitterness; some days, the flowers are full of flowers, but the inside is full of holes."

   "Sister Yin can't help it, but you can make a marriage before the draft. Since you choose to participate in the draft, no matter what the result is, you have to fight it yourself."

   "What grandma wants to tell you today is that people can only grasp the present, and there is no need to be too attached to the past and the future."

   As he spoke, he also looked at Shi Fuyin and Shi Fuxin.

"You have to remember that when making a decision, there are only a few who can look ahead. If you don't have that ability, you can grasp the present moment peacefully. As long as the decision you make is good for you at the moment, it is enough. have a bee in one's bonnet."

   Madam Shi Wu and Shi Fuyue both understood these words.

  Shi Fuyue decided to participate in the draft, just to fight for Wufang to stand out in the future.

  This may be a good decision for Wufang, but for Shi Fuyue, it is unknown.

  Shi Wu's wife felt a little bit regretful in her heart. Thinking about it carefully, the mansion is also good to Wu Fang. In fact, they don't need to gamble with their daughter's life at all.

   When Shi Fuxin and Shi Fuyin looked at Shi Fuyue, they sighed in their hearts.

  Those who don’t want to stand for the election don’t have that condition;

  After drinking two bowls of bird's nest and tremella soup, Shi Fuxin and Shi Fuyin left Yixiangtang.

  Walking on the way back to Yiguiyuan, Shi Fuyin said: "Second sister participates in the draft, and grandma seems to disapprove."

  Shi Fuxin: "Grandmother is worried that the second sister will be selected."

  Shi Fuyin turned her head and looked over: "How can you see it?"

   It's not that she underestimated Shi Fuyue, it's that there are too many girls in Beijing who are outstanding in talent and appearance. Shi Fuyue is actually not outstanding in terms of talent, learning or appearance.

  Shi Fuxin: "In the palace draft, although talent and appearance are important, they are not the most important. The harem is just a means for the emperor to balance the previous court."

   "As for the princes, their attitude towards women is the same as that of the emperor, liking them is only second, being useful to them and being able to help them in the court is the most important thing."

  Shi Fuyin: "In our mansion, only brother has some value, so he shouldn't be valued."

  Shi Fuxin showed disapproval: "Father is worthless? Although father is not of high rank, the five-city military commander is still very important. And uncle, uncle is in the military department, and he still has some contacts."

   "As for the uncle's mansion, it is also the founder of the country, and the emaciated camel is bigger than the horse, so there is always something to use."

   As she spoke, she stopped and looked at Shi Fuyin solemnly, "Sister, I found out that even if you have body odor, it seems that you can't be sure of losing the election."

   "Some princes like to hide their strengths and bide their time, and they specially choose girls with moderate family backgrounds."

  Shi Fuyin: "."

  Shi Fuxin was a little worried: "What if there is really a prince who endures body odor and chooses you, what should I do?"

  Shi Fuyin was silent, and instead comforted Shi Fuxin: "The matter is already like this, so we can only take one step at a time. Don't worry, I will be careful."

  The next day, Shi Yuhua came to the Bo mansion, bringing a lot of high-quality silk and satin.

   "Sister Yue and Sister Yin are going to participate in the audition. As an aunt, I can't help much. I can only send them some materials to make clothes."

  Mrs. Shi did not call Shi Fuyue and Shi Fuyin over, and directly divided the materials sent by Shi Yuhua equally, and asked Nanny An to send them to their yard.

   When Shi Yuhua saw that Mrs. Shi didn't even let her see anyone, she was a little unhappy, and after talking for a while, she went to Mrs. Shi's yard.

"The Zeng family also has a girl who wants to participate in the election. I thought that before the draft, I would let Sister Yue, Sister Yin and the girl from the Zeng family meet first, so that it would be easier to get along with each other during the draft. But look at mother, I am back as an aunt, and I don't even want to let the two girls come to see me."

Mrs. Shi had a headache: "Second sister, you should stop thinking about it. The rumor that sister Yin and Luo Yuanqing were engaged was because of the Zeng family. Now the fourth brother's family hates the Zeng family to death. Why are you still thinking of marrying the two?" The family pushes it together?"

  Shi Yuhua explained: "Old Madam Zeng told me that she was kind enough to tell Sister Yin about her kiss. She didn't expect Luo Yuanqing to be such a person."

   "Besides, the fourth younger brother and sister slapped Yuwei, and sister Yin slapped sister Ran. They didn't say anything. How can the fourth younger brother and his family hold on?"

  Shi Da Furen didn't want to talk anymore.

Shi Yuhua was still complaining: "If you want me to say, Zhengkun's family has suffered more grievances than the fourth brother's family about the Duke of Qing's mansion. At least my mother came forward to clarify the matter about Sister Yin, but Dingheng's reputation is considered a destroyed."

   "Before, Yuwei offered Ding Hengxiang a marriage, but because of Yu Taoge's arrest, he directly refused."

   At that time, the lady said in her heart, "It deserves it".

Shi Yuhua looked at Mrs. Shi: "Sister-in-law, have you noticed that after the fourth brother's family came back, our family began to experience all kinds of troubles, and almost everything that happened in the house in a year was related to the fourth brother's family?" .”

   "Think about it carefully, before they came back, the mansion was so peaceful and peaceful. I didn't say that, the fourth brother's family is really a drag on our family."

  Shi Da furen covered her head with her hands, not wanting to speak.

  Yes, before the fourth brother's family came back, the mansion was very quiet, but unfortunately, it was too quiet, so quiet that people in the capital almost forgot Wuchangbo Mansion.

  Although many things happened in the mansion after the fourth brother's family returned to the mansion, she and Shi Yuhua have different views.

  Shi Yuhua felt that the fourth brother's family was dragging down the mansion, but she was completely opposite. The fourth brother's family brought the uncle's mansion back to life, instead of being lifeless as before.
