Poor Family

Shi Fuxin was punished by Mrs. Shi, and she was copying the Diamond Sutra in the Buddhist hall. The news spread like wind to all the courtyards of Shifu.

"Grandmother is willing to punish Sixth Sister. It's really rare."

In Shi Fulin's courtyard, Shi Fuzhi, Shi Furan, and other sisters of the Shi family were all there.

Hearing that Shi Fuxin was punished, Shi Furan showed joy, the other sisters of the Shi family looked surprised, and Shi Fuzhi just drank tea with downcast eyes, unable to see clearly.

Shi Furan gloated and said, "Shi Fuxin has contradicted her elders once or twice in public, and it's time for grandma to punish her."

Shi Fuzhi glared at Shi Furan, signaling her not to speak.

Now they are separated from the sisters in the uncle's house, and they can no longer express their opinions freely.

Also, when Fuxin was punished, it was her grandmother who taught her, and it was not something to be happy about.

The sisters of the Shi family didn't agree with Shi Furan, and Shi Furan, the fifth girl of the seventh house, even asked: "Sister Fuzhi, although the Duke of Qing's mansion is a noble mansion, it has a bad reputation. Sister said to their family, or the third room from the concubine?"

Shi Fuzhi frowned, looked at Shi Fuying and the others: "You also think my mother is uneasy and kind when she tells Shi Fuyin a matchmaker?"

Shi Fuying didn't answer, as if she was tacitly acquiescing.

Others will not take the initiative to find trouble, and they all look elsewhere and don't speak.

Because Shi Fulin was close to Shi Furan in the past, she didn't want the situation to be too embarrassing, so she took the initiative to smooth things over: "We didn't mean that, but I was just curious. Aunt Zeng never had any contact with Duke Qing's mansion before, why did I think of a matchmaker?" ?”

Shi Fuzhi's eyes flickered, and she could sense in her heart that there was something wrong with the matchmaking matchmaking this time. Her mother knew that if the Duke of Qing's mansion really had a good marriage, she would not be able to tell Shi Fuyin about it.

But as a daughter, she can only defend her mother's position now.

"You all saw Shi Fuyin's performance on the day of the national women's supervisor's special recruitment assessment. She is so outstanding, it's too normal for the eldest son of the third house of the Duke of Qing to look at her."

This explanation is passable, but it does not directly answer the question.

Shi Fuzhi looked at Shi Fuzhi: "Sister Fuzhi, the sixth younger sister was indeed a bit rude today, she shouldn't have treated Aunt Zeng like that, but I think what she said was not wrong."

Before Shi Fuzhi responded, Shi Furan quit: "Fifth Sister, what do you mean? Are you saying that our family is meddling?"

Shi Fuying: "That's right, that's what I think."

Shi Furan didn't expect Shi Fu to admit it so straightforwardly, her eyes widened immediately: "You"

After all, they grew up together, and Shi Fu knew Shi Furan's character without brains, so she looked directly at Shi Fuzhi, who was silent, and said, "Sister Fuzhi, I don't mean to favor anyone by saying this."

"Maybe Aunt Zeng is out of kindness, maybe your family wants to repair the relationship with the fourth uncle's family, but the person you choose to talk about is really unwise, not to mention the fourth uncle's family, even us outsiders don't think so. OK."

Shi Fuzhi sneered: "I admit that Shi Fuyin was admitted to the National Women's Prison, she is very good, but these can't cover up the fact that she grew up in the border and was uneducated."

"The choice of a daughter-in-law for a high-ranking family does not depend on who is good at martial arts, but on the housekeeper's ability to communicate. In these aspects, do you think Shi Fuyin can win the eyes of the wives?"

"Although the third householder of Duke Qing's mansion is a concubine, he is a child of the Duke's mansion after all. A girl from the uncle's mansion married into the Duke's mansion. Isn't this a high-profile marriage?"

Shi Fuying felt that the smile on Shi Fuzhi's face was harsh, and she also felt that Shi Fuyin's words were harsh when she looked down on Shi Fuyin, so she frowned and said, "It's just your thoughts, have you ever thought that Sibo's family never Have you thought about climbing high?"

Shi Fuzhi was silent: "My mother just wanted to do her best, she didn't think about it that much."

Shi Fu frowned tightly: "So I said that Sixth Sister is right, you don't know what people want, and it really makes people feel like meddling in their own business."

These words are really a bit rude, Rao Shi Fuzhi will restrain her emotions again, she can't help but sullen.

But the strange thing is that this time, Flynn didn't come out to smooth things over.

Just now, Shi Fuzhi looked down on Shi Fuyin's words, which also made her very uncomfortable.

Perhaps it was the influence of Mrs. Shi's advice, or maybe it was the Special Investigation Department's arrest of the Yan Party some time ago, which made her better understand the truth of a family's prosperity and loss. At this moment, she instinctively wants to protect Shi Fuyin.

There was some silence in the room, Shi Furan gave Shi Fulin a wink, wanting her to ease the atmosphere, it can be seen that Shi Fulin ignored her and was a little dumbfounded for a while.

Shi Fuzhi saw this scene in her eyes, and secretly took a deep breath. Sure enough, the relationship between their family and the Bo's House inevitably cracked.

Although he knew for a long time that when there was a conflict between their family and Shi Fuxin's family, the whole Bo family might choose to help Shi Fuxin's family, but when it really happened, it was still a little hard to accept.

Thinking about it now, she really admires Shi Fuxin's family.

Grandma was right, even though they grew up in the border and had no knowledge and vision, their ability to calculate is not inferior to those who have received good education since childhood.

Before returning to the uncle's mansion, their family had already calculated everything, and first threatened them not to return to the mansion to get them to move out of the uncle's mansion.

Once they moved out of the Bo's house, their family and the Bo's house became two families from then on.

Even if the relationship between their family and the Bofu was deeper at the beginning, as time went by, because they didn't live together for a long time, and that family brought more benefits to the Bofu, the relationship between their family and the Bofu became weaker. Slowly faded.

Look now, everything is moving towards that family's calculations, and the uncle's house no longer treats their family as a family.

When Shi Fulin looked at the silent sisters, she was very tired.

Recently, she has found more and more that Sister Fuzhi, Furan and them get along more and more uncomfortable, and she doesn't say a lot of things clearly, and she always says something, and she is very tired.

Maybe the sister-in-law is right, she should invite Sister Fuzhi and Furan less to the gatherings between the sisters in the future.

The small Buddhist hall in the backyard of Yixiang Hall.

Shi Fuxin sat on her knees in front of the Buddha statue, watching the winding cigarette rising, thinking about Mrs. Shi's punishment for herself, thinking about it, she didn't feel that she had done anything wrong.

Said she was reckless and impatient?

Maybe.

She could wait for Mrs. Zeng to leave before going to talk to Mrs. Shi, but why did she wait?

Zeng made her upset, why couldn't she vent her anger face to face?

Why do you want to see Zeng doing things that harm her sister's interests while buying from Shi's family with a good-hearted face?

She just wants to slap Zeng in the face in public, she is upset, why can she leave happily?

Seeing Nanny An bring the maidservants to the table and place the pen, ink, paper and inkstone and the Diamond Sutra to be copied, Shi Fuxin was depressed. She was punished to stand by the principal not long ago, and now she was punished to copy homework. It was too difficult for her. up.

In the corner, Mother An watched Shi Fuxin reluctantly sit behind the desk, pick up a pen, curl her mouth, and start copying the Diamond Sutra with an unhappy expression, she wanted to laugh.

Miss Six is ​​a bit stubborn, a bit fierce, and a bit straight, but she is still a good and obedient child.

"Ten times, when will this be copied?"

"Forget it, it's time to practice calligraphy."

Shi Fuxin slowly calmed down, and concentrated on copying the Diamond Sutra.

Soon, it was getting dark, and Shi Fuyin came to the Buddhist hall with a food box.

Seeing this, Mother An withdrew with great eyesight.

The old lady only punished Miss Six to copy the Diamond Sutra, but she didn't say that she wouldn't be allowed to eat.

"Sister, you finally came to bring me food, I'm going to starve to death."

Seeing Shi Fuyin coming over with a food box, Shi Fuxin was overjoyed, and hurriedly started to clear the table.

Shi Fuyin walked over with the food box, took out everything in the food box, watched Shi Fuxin eat for a while, and then said, "Sister, you know that you are so depressed because you care about me." Don’t be angry, don’t do this again.”

The chopsticks in Shi Fuxin's hands kept on saying, "Why not, I'm unhappy, and I'm going to vent it."

Shi Fuyin looked at her younger sister: "You were not like this when you first returned to the uncle's residence."

Shi Fuxin: "At this time and at that time, we used to be of little value, and getting angry rashly would only make people hate us; now we have shown our value to the Bofu, and being angry appropriately is to protect our own interests and tell everyone , cannot touch our bottom line."

Shi Fuyin was silent for a while: "I am also very angry that Mrs. Zeng protected the Qing government's government as a matchmaker, but the family didn't know that the Qing government's government might have something to do with the regent."

Shi Fuxin nodded her head: "It's not important. I got angry today, not because of Duke Qing's government, but mainly because the Li family's family wanted to get involved in your marriage, and the others didn't object."

Said, put down the bowls and chopsticks.

"I know what the people in the mansion think. The mansion has educated Shi Zhengkun for decades, and the Zeng family is a good in-law family. It doesn't mean that you can just give up if you give up, so everyone in the mansion wants to Our family can live on friendly terms with their family.”

"But is it possible?"

"From the day our family appeared, there have been irreconcilable conflicts between our family and Shi Zhengkun's family."

"Leaving aside the pain caused by the Li family to my father, to my father, Shi Zhengkun is the thief who robbed his parents, relatives, and life of the previous thirty years."

"As for Shi Zhengkun, the existence of father is also a stain on his life, a stain that made him change from a son of an uncle's mansion to a son of a military household."

"These contradictions cannot be covered up and reconciled by outsiders no matter how hard they try."

"Sister, although Dad didn't say anything, do you think that every time he sees his grandparents and uncle getting close to Shi Zhengkun, will he be indifferent, or will he care about being sad?"

Shi Fuyin was silent and didn't speak. Of course, Dad cared, and he cared very much.

After my father was promoted to the deputy commander of the military and horse department, he still desperately wanted to make meritorious service. Why? Don't you just want to prove to Shi's family that you won't lose to Shi Zhengkun?

Shi Fuxin picked up the chopsticks again: "Sometimes, I really feel that my grandparents are quite confused. They want our family and Shi Zhengkun's family to get along like family."

"Using ourselves to judge others, do we really hope to see Shi Zhengkun's family get better and better, and then step on us?"

"Of course not."

"Then on the other hand, Shi Zhengkun's family definitely doesn't want to see our family live better than them. As long as you think about this, you will know that it is impossible for Zeng to introduce any good family to you."

"It's a pity that no one in the mansion saw this. They only thought about repairing the relationship between our family and Shi Zhengkun's family. They felt that the Zeng family had already taken the initiative, so we should continue, and we could sacrifice our interests as a precondition."

"But why?"

"Hmph, this person, you can't be too greedy. Many troubles in life are caused by yourself."

"We and Shi Zhengkun's family, the best way to get along is that the well water does not interfere with the river water, and everyone lives in their own way."

"Once they get mixed together, there will be conflicts if there is no conflict. At that time, other people will act as bystanders and persuade them to make peace. Let us be magnanimous. It is not them who feel angry and wronged."

Shi Fuyin looked at Shi Fuxin with emotion: "I found out that you are more and more able to speak now, in a set of ways."

Shi Fuxin raised her chin: "Sister, just tell me if I'm right or not."

Shi Fuyin glanced at her with a smile: "You are reasonable." After a pause, "Although you are reasonable, you still have to pay attention to methods and methods. Look at today, you have been punished."

Shi Fuxin chuckled: "Sister, your sister, am I such a person who doesn't know how to adapt? I have always treated people and things wrongly. Different people have different ways of dealing with it."

Shi Fuyin was speechless: "You really have the nerve to admit it." Seeing Shi Fuxin still smiled triumphantly, she reached out and tapped her forehead, "You, bully the weak and be afraid of the strong."

Shi Fuxin was straightforward: "When a person lives, what he fights for is the initiative. I am weak and he is strong, so I can bear it. But I am obviously stronger, so why should I bear it?"

Shi Fuyin couldn't laugh or cry when she heard that, my sister is a typical villain, but you still can't find a reason to refute her.

Forget it, it's really not easy for their family and the Li family's family to get involved too much, and Zeng scolded him as well.

Yixiang Hall.

Mrs. Shi knew that Shi Fuyin had delivered food to Shi Fuxin, so she gave an 'um' and continued to eat with Mrs. Shi.

The old lady Shi glanced at the old wife, and asked with a smile: "Are you really going to punish the six girls?"

Mrs. Shi: "Sister Xin, this girl. I used to think that she grew up in the border and got used to her unrestrained temper, so she would be more straightforward and impulsive in her actions. After she goes to school and learns about etiquette, she will gradually change."

"But after this year's contact, I found that this girl is a bit lawless and fearless in her bones. She has too many edges and corners, and she must be polished."

The old lady Shi was stunned for a moment: "It's not possible, I see that Liu Yatou still knows how to measure."

Mrs. Shi looked at her wife: "That girl is used to pretending, and you don't get in touch with her often, so naturally you can't see her true colors. I was almost deceived by her."

At that time, the old man stopped talking. It is the old wife's business to raise the granddaughter. He just needs to take care of the grandson.

"By the way, what do you think about the marriage in Duke Qing's mansion that Mrs. Zeng mentioned?"

Mrs. Shi thought about it for a while: "Duke Qing's Mansion is definitely not acceptable, but I have to think about how to refuse, and there is no need to offend people even if we say we can't get married."

Saying that, he shook his head with a headache.

Does she want the second son's family to live in harmony with the adopted son's family?

Of course I wanted to.

But this time Zeng's mediator played the piano indiscriminately, and she deserved to be scolded by sister Xin.

But thinking of Sister Xin's undisguised anger, Mrs. Shi narrowed her eyes again.

Although Duke Qing's mansion didn't have a very good reputation, it was the Duke's mansion after all, even if he didn't like it, he shouldn't be so angry? Does that girl know something about the inside situation?

"Hey"

Hearing Mrs. Shi sigh, Mrs. Shi looked over: "Why are you still sighing?"

Mrs. Shi: "I found that I'm really old, and I can't even see through a little girl." There are so many grandchildren in the house, she doesn't say that she fully understands their temperament, but she can more or less get a general idea.

But for Sister Xin, sometimes she really can't figure it out.

If the time we spent together was short, she couldn't understand it, but for Wulang, Jiulang, and Sister Yin, she could infer their methods of doing things through their temperaments. Only this Sister Xin made it difficult for her to control.

You can say that she doesn't know how to measure, but when it comes to cowarding people outside, she coaxes quickly.

It can be said that she cares about the overall situation, but she can often do things that contradict her elders in public.

This girl has a ruler in her heart, but the ruler is not set according to the standards of the world, but according to her standards.

It's hard to judge by her standards.
