Poor Family

First there were rumors of Shi Fuyin and Luo Yuanqing's engagement, and then there were rumors about Shi Dingheng and Luo Yuanqing being arrested in Yutao Pavilion. The entire Shi family was caught off guard by these two news.

The Luo family in Duke Qing's Mansion has a bad reputation, but anyone who wants to save face is unwilling to marry the Luo family.

Before this, the Shi family had no contact with Duke Qing's mansion.

But now, the two children in the family have been mixed in, and the reputation will definitely be affected, and even the uncle's house will be affected to a certain extent.

And the source of all this was the fact that the Zeng family had served as a mediator for Duke Qing's government.

At this moment, from Mrs. Shi to grandchildren like Shi Dingrong and Shi Fulin, they were very dissatisfied with Mrs. Zeng.

Especially after learning that Luo Yuanqing is such a bad-behaviored swinger, Zeng actually wanted to tell him Shi Fuyin, even Shi Yuhua, who has always had a good relationship with Shi Zhengkun's family, didn't know what to say. .

"This time, the fourth brother's family and Zheng Kun's family are completely torn apart. In the past, with everyone's tacit understanding, the two families could barely sit together. After this time, I think it will be difficult."

Mrs. Shi sighed to Shi Zhengmao.

Shi Zhengmao also had a headache: "How did this matter come to be like this? The fourth sibling is the same, no matter how big the conflict is, they shouldn't hit people. How will we get along with each other in the future?"

Mrs. Shi said indifferently: "I see that the fourth younger brother's family has never thought of having too much contact with the Zhengkun family." Jin's anger this time really shocked her, and made her feel bad about this younger brother and sister. New understanding.

"However, I can't blame the fourth siblings for this matter. Mrs. Zeng really did too much. How can she interfere with Sister Yin's marriage? And there are rumors going on."

"This marriage, Zeng's intention is not good."

Shi Zhengmao was also very dissatisfied with Zeng Yuwei: "Zeng is a real person, knowing that their family and Zhenghe's family are in an awkward relationship, she still tells Sister Yin about such a marriage, why is she so relieved? Do you wish that Zhengkun and Bofu will be separated?"

Mrs. Shi snorted, "Perhaps in Mrs. Zeng's heart, she helped talk about this relationship in order to draw in the relationship between their family and the fourth brother's family."

"She looks down on the fourth younger brother's family from the bottom of her heart. She thinks that Duke Qing's family has a prominent family. If she tells Luo Yuanqing about Sister Yin, that is also the fourth younger brother's family. They should agree with gratitude."

Shi Zhengmao was so angry that he slapped the table: "Why is this person so stupid!"

Mrs. Shi saw that Shi Zhengmao was very angry, she thought about it, and changed the subject: "Master, who do you think Dingheng was called to Yu Tao Pavilion?"

Shi Zhengmao: "After Zhengkun's family moved out of the uncle's residence, I don't know Dingheng's social circle. How can I know if he offended someone outside?"

Mrs. Shi was silent for a while, and tentatively said: "Master, do you think it was made by the fourth brother's family?"

Shi Zhengmao shook his head very simply: "Impossible, although the fourth brother's family has only been back home for a year, we can get a general idea of ​​their temperament."

"The fourth younger brother is similar to the Jin family. They may directly attack the adults face to face, but they should not be able to do things like the Yin people behind their backs."

Mrs. Shi asked again: "How many Wulang?"

Shi Zhengmao: "That's even more impossible. Where is Wulang? He's working in the palace. He probably doesn't know what happened in the mansion now."

When Mrs. Shi saw that Shi Zhengmao had said something about Shi Wulang, she stopped talking, and reminded: "Sister Yin is in the mansion, so what about Sister Xin and Jiulang?"

Shi Zhengmao was a little speechless: "Can't you see those two little ones? Sister Xin is very delicate and enjoys it, and Jiulang is also very lazy and lazy. The two of them can at most do something that is icing on the cake. Don't count on them when it comes to business. .”

"Dingheng was called to Yutao Pavilion. It sounds simple, but it is very troublesome in practice."

"First of all, you have to find the messenger. Secondly, the messenger has to persuade Dingheng to go to Yutao Pavilion. Finally, you have to make sure that this person will not be exposed afterwards. Even if I am this kind of errand runner, I will find him in a while." not come out."

"Also, even if Luo Yuanqing's whereabouts are not a secret, if you want to grasp it accurately, don't you have to be watched by someone?"

"Sister Xin and the people around Jiulang are assigned by the mansion. They have only been in Beijing for a year. Do you think they can have such abilities?"

Mrs. Shi stopped talking. Theoretically speaking, it's really impossible for Sister Xin and Jiulang to do this, but she just faintly felt that it was related to them.

No way, this time is too coincidental.

Yixiangtang, Mrs. Shi and Mrs. Shi are also discussing this matter.

The old lady Shi looked at his old wife: "Why do you think that Dingheng fell for sister Xin's trick?"

Mrs. Shi: "Intuition."

Mrs. Shi: "."

Mrs. Shi also knew that saying this was not enough to convince people, but she didn't explain much to Mrs. Shi, she just said: "I thought it was easy before."

"I've always thought that if a child is wrongly held, no matter it is Zhenghe or Zhengkun, they are innocent. The two of them are not living together again. There is no conflict or conflict. As long as we guide them more, they will be be friendly."

"But now, I know it's impossible."

"Ms. Zeng can casually introduce Luo Yuanqing, who has a bad character, to Mrs. Yin, and Mrs. Jin can raise her hand to beat Mrs. Zeng without any scruples. They never thought about how the two families will continue to get along afterwards."

"So unscrupulous, it's because I don't want to get along well with the other party from the bottom of my heart."

"It's me, I take it for granted."

The old lady Shi also sighed. The biological son must stay with him, but the adopted son has really given his affection and energy. As old people, they naturally want their parents and sons to get along well with each other.

It's a pity that the world is unpredictable, and what they hope seems to be simple, but in fact it is full of difficulties.

At this moment, Nanny An came in: "Old Madam, Miss Six is ​​back."

Mrs. Shi thought for a while, and told Nanny An to call An Ran over: "Go quietly, don't disturb Liu girl."

Nanny An nodded and stepped back.

On the other hand, when Shi Fuxin went back to the uncle's mansion, she went directly to Yigui Courtyard, and then found out about her mother and sister both going crazy today and beating Zeng's mother.

"Mother, sister, what you did was so right, you should slap that Mrs. Zeng severely."

While the mother and daughter were talking, An Ran saw the maid who was waving towards her outside the courtyard, and retreated silently.

Shi Fuxin glanced at her, and continued talking to Jin Yuee and Shi Fuyin.

In less than a quarter of an hour, An Ran came back.

After staying in Yiguiyuan for a while, Shi Fuxin went back to the Moon Tower.

On the way, An Ran hesitated to speak.

Shi Fuxin looked at her, but didn't take the initiative to ask.

Until returning to Lanyue Building, An Ran didn't take the initiative to say that Mrs. Shi asked her to go over and ask questions.

It wasn't until the servant girl from Yixiangtang came to call Shi Fuxin, saying that Mrs. Shi was looking for her, that An Ran knelt down in front of Shi Fuxin: "Girl, I have something to tell you."

Shi Fuxin looked at her: "Speak, I'm listening."

An Ran: "Just now, the old lady called me over to ask a question, and asked if you have been in the Women's Prison today."

Shi Fuxin's eyes flickered, she always knew that her grandmother was a very shrewd person, but she didn't expect to be so sharp, did she guess that she was always in the dark?

"How did you answer?"

An Ran showed self-reproach: "The servant did not dare to lie to the old lady, nor did she dare to reveal the girl's whereabouts, so she didn't say anything, and then the old lady asked me to step down."

Shi Fuxin let out an 'oh', stepped out of the room, and was about to go to Yixiang Hall.

An Ran hurriedly followed, and said worriedly: "Girl, I feel like the old lady knows something."

Shi Fuxin stopped and looked back at An Ran: "An Ran, when my grandmother sent you to my side, I knew she was doing it for my own good. I accepted her kindness and accepted you."

"You have been with me for a while, you should see what kind of person I am?"

"To me, ability to do things is important, but loyalty comes first."

"You didn't seem to say anything today, but you actually said everything."

"You said you dare not lie to grandma, I understand that, but in the future, you don't go out with me, just take care of everything in the house, so you don't have to be in trouble."

An Ran was startled, and quickly knelt down: "Girl, this slave is wrong."

Shi Fuxin looked at her: "You dare not lie to grandma, is that wrong? Of course it's not wrong, you just didn't take me as your master from the bottom of your heart."

If this girl really treats herself as her master, she will protect her own interests. Even if she doesn't know what she is going to do by skipping class and leaving the National Women's Prison today, she should help hide it.

For Luo Yuanqing and Shi Dingheng, she is not afraid that Mrs. Shi will know, but next time, if she does something she does not want others to know, this girl will be a ticking time bomb.

An Ran's heart trembled, and she quickly expressed her opinion: "Girl, this servant made a mistake, and I will definitely never do this again."

Shi Fuxin was noncommittal: "When I look at people, I never believe what they say, only how they do it. Come on, stop kneeling, you are the person my grandmother gave me anyway, it's not good for people to see."

After finishing speaking, Shi Fuxin turned around and walked away.

An Ran paused, got up and followed.

After a while, Shi Fuxin came to Yixiangtang.

"Miss Six, the old lady is in the Buddhist hall, please come with the old slave."

Shi Fuxin glanced at Nanny An, and followed her to the Small Buddha Hall.

In the Buddhist hall, Mrs. Shi was kneeling in front of the Buddha statue, fiddling with sandalwood beads in her hands, opening and closing her mouth, as if she was chanting sutras.

Nanny An led Shi Fuxin in, and quickly backed out.

Shi Fuxin stood for a while, seeing that Mrs. Shi ignored her, and seeing that the table and chairs that punished her for copying the Diamond Sutra were still there, she walked over silently and sat down, took the initiative to pick up the pen, and started to copy the scriptures.

Grandparents and grandchildren, one chanting scriptures and the other copying scriptures, neither disturbs the other.

In a blink of an eye, it was dark outside.

Madam Shi opened her eyes, looked at Shi Fuxin who was concentrating on copying the scriptures, and said to herself: "Compared to the border, the capital city has its advantages and disadvantages."

"At the border, there are not so many rules and you don't have to be constrained too much. For some things, just do it if you do it, and it won't cause too much impact."

"But the capital is different. The capital is a place that pays attention to rules. The relationship between people is like a big net. Moving one person is equivalent to moving the whole big net."

"At this time, if you solve the matter directly and straightforwardly like when you were at the border, and if you don't pay attention, not only will you get involved, but your family will also suffer along with it."

Listening to Madam Shi's words, Shi Fuxin was silent for a while, and continued to write: "My granddaughter thinks that whether it's the capital city or the border, it's all about strength."

Mrs. Shi: "Yes, no matter where this person goes, being strong is the last word. However, being strong or not has nothing to do with a person's kung fu."

"In Jianghu, there are quite a few ninth-rank warriors, but how many of them are truly founders? If a person just relies on a little bit of kung fu and acts randomly, then what awaits her in the end will not be a happy ending."

Shi Fuxin looked indifferent: "That's because none of them are strong enough."

Mrs. Shi stopped playing with the beads: "No matter how strong a person is, that is the courage of an ordinary man, and the courage of an ordinary man can only be protected by himself."

"Even if you are as powerful as the supreme master, you must bow your head for the sake of those behind you. Unless you are alone for a lifetime, you will not be able to escape the interference of worldly affairs."

Shi Fuxin pursed her lips and didn't answer.

Mrs. Shi continued to fiddle with the beads: "Throughout the ages, how many people have gained power and status only by force? Even if they got it for a while, they couldn't keep it in the end."

"Martial strength has never been the criterion for a person to be strong or not. Otherwise, there would be no such thing as eighth and ninth rank masters serving as guards for others."

Seeing that Shi Fuxin was silent, Mrs. Shi glanced at her: "Simple and brutal force can only solve part of the problem, and in many cases it only treats the symptoms but not the root cause."

"In a place like the capital, which is orderly and rules-based, where there are countless intertwined networks of people, if you want to live better, you don't rely on force, but on your brain."

"If a person can sort out the context of these networks and control the rules, even if he is just a eunuch or a court lady, he can kill a high-ranking concubine."

Shi Fuxin was silent for a while: "Grandmother is right, but I think it's a good thing to show force properly and let people know it hurts."

"If a person does something wrong and just expose it so painlessly, then she won't have a long memory next time. After all, people like to bully and fear evil."

"As for some people, if you don't hurt her, she won't be in awe."

Mrs. Shi looked at Shi Fuxin, saw that she was still walking towards the scriptures in a leisurely manner, and couldn't tell how much she had listened to, so she raised her hand and said, "Okay, it's getting late, you can go back."

Shi Fuxin put down the pen resolutely, stood up and blessed Fu's body: "Grandmother, the granddaughter will go back first."

Seeing Shi Fuxin leave, Mrs. Shi also came out of the Buddhist hall. Seeing that Mrs. Shi was still waiting for her to have dinner, she walked over and sat down: "That girl doesn't believe me."

He didn't believe her and decided for sister Huiyin, so he took the initiative to teach Zeng Shi a lesson.

The old master Shi comforted: "The fourth son's family has only been back for a year. You should teach them well, and they will know your hard work in the future."

Mrs. Shi rubbed her forehead: "Sister Yin and Luo Yuanqing's engagement rumors must be clarified as soon as possible. I have to think about how to do this."

No matter how bad the reputation of Duke Qing's mansion was, it was still the Duke's mansion. With the current situation of the Shi family, they really didn't have any bargaining chips to go head-to-head with them.

The old man was silent for a while: "In the future, Zhenghe's family and Zhengkun's family will not be allowed to meet."

Mrs. Shi nodded: "As long as they can live in peace, I will be thankful now."

The fact that Luo Yuanqing was having fun with the male actress and being watched by people was a romantic affair. I thought it would be forgotten in a few days, but I didn't expect that when he went to the court the next day, Fan Yushi of Yushitai would just like this. This incident impeached the Duke of Qing.

Rebuking the children of Duke Qing's mansion for their improper self-cultivation has caused a very bad influence on the social atmosphere.

This time, the affair became a big deal.

Special Chase.

As soon as Ye Mo came back from the dungeon, he saw Zhao Jing walking over with a smile.

"Fan Yushi is very talkative. At that time, he persuaded the emperor to reprimand Qing Guogong. Qing Guogong fined him for one year, closed the door for a month, and told him to discipline the children in the house."

Seeing that Ye Mo didn't respond, Zhao Jing knew that he was dissatisfied with the punishment: "The emperor's punishment is not too light."

Ye Mo snorted: "It's not painful or itchy, what kind of punishment is this?"

Zhao Jing: "Duke Qing was reprimanded in public, which is considered a loss of face."

Ye Mo looked at him: "Do you think Duke Qing is a shameless person?"

Zhao Jing: "."

Ye Mo ignored him, squinting his eyes: "Send someone to find out, why did Duke Qing go after that girl?"

Zhao Jing nodded: "Don't worry, I'll keep an eye on this matter myself." Then, he glanced at Ye Mo and joked, "Hey, I don't know who said that I want nothing to do with those four little guys, you are now doing what?"

Ye Mo frowned: "It's up to me whether I recognize them or not. My apprentices, even if they are not official, will not be bullied by others!"
