The Beautiful Land - Chapter 122

The world seemed to quiet down suddenly.

Even the sound of wind and snow outside the window seemed to disappear.

After a long while, Xi Fuwei asked in a deep voice, “Subordinates are dull, if you ask this… Subordinates are afraid they will misunderstand.”

Shen Pilan said calmly: “You have not misunderstood.”

“…” Xi Fuwei squinted, and said for a moment, “Subordinates are dull, don’t understand why?”

“You are not dull.” Shen Xiaolan corrected her first, “If you are dull, I won’t ask this.”

Without waiting for Xi Fuwei’s answer, he said again, “I know why you hesitate. It’s all because of family background. But let alone Song Shangshu’s righteous daughter, she is enough to match me. Even if you have never been involved with the Song family, as long as it is Liangjiazi, I can also guarantee that you will be allowed to settle your hair.”

“My lord, I heard that you came to Shandong to accumulate credit.” Xi Fuwei couldn’t believe this. Because it was her boss, she didn’t use a mocking tone, just reminded calmly.” And if the subordinate is for your wife, I am afraid that nothing will help you.”

She thought carefully about the reason why Shen Pilan would say such things to herself, “If an adult thinks his subordinates are very good at serving in the study, in fact, it will be very useful to find two clever teachers in the little maidservant at home. It’s easy. Speaking frivolously, the subordinates have been the eldest lady for more than ten years after all. This errand of waiting for people is not as good as the ironing of the maid.

“I want a like-minded wife, not a lack of people to serve.” Shen Dilan stared at her. It was obvious that both of them couldn’t see each other’s face clearly at this moment, but Xi Fuwei felt that his gaze was like substance, and his face felt hot. “I didn’t think about this issue much before. People in the world said that marrying a wife and marrying virtue, and the elders said that it is gentle and virtuous. I think this is the case. But during this period of time, you and I were in the study to talk about the past and the present. , If in the future my wife can only be gentle and virtuous, keep the house in order, take care of the children properly, and even tolerate my concubine… I might be grateful and respect her She, but she won’t reach the point of being in love with her.”

Before this time of getting along, he didn’t think there was anything wrong with marrying a virtuous wife.

She will take care of the back house properly, allowing herself to concentrate on making achievements.

She is also gentle and considerate. She always knows when to say what to do and what to do. Even if he is messing around outside, or is too busy to accompany her on official business, she will understand.

Save worry, effort and face, parents and family members will also agree.

But after getting along with Xi Fuwei in the study, after seeing the girl’s intelligence, tact, and not weaker than a man’s insight and calm temperament, Chen Pi Lan suddenly felt that the gentle and virtuous woman was a bit dull.

It’s like what he said to Xi Fuwei before: Gentle and virtuous is the easiest, no matter what one’s own temperament is, as long as one is willing to pretend, there is no way to pretend.

But talent, courage, courage, perseverance… these are not available to everyone.

Chen Qianlan didn’t feel bad for a gentle and considerate woman, but she didn’t have a strong urge to spend a lifetime with such a woman.

Xi Fuwei is different.

This ordinary person can’t stand it. Like Yu Kedi, even if her mother Cheng’s persuasion, she just wants to recognize her as a righteous sister. She has never thought about teasing her as a wife. She is never at ease and has enough hard heart.

As Wen Xianyun said, after the Wen family left Xi Fucui, even if they turned their faces ruthlessly.

But when Xi Fucui was still alive, Wen’s family was really heartbroken to Xi’s in-laws.

Wen Xianyun himself is both talented and handsome, with a gentle temperament. No matter how you look at it, he is a fast-paced son-in-law who can’t be found with a lantern in the villages.

Not to mention that he has the blessing of the status of the chief clan of Dongchang Mansion.

But Xi Fuwei seemed indifferent to this.

When she took her nephew to flee Dongchang Mansion to death, she didn’t even think about going to confront the fiance with the hope of in case.

It can be seen how light the position of this fiancé in her mind is, so light that she doesn’t even care if this action is a solicitation of other people. Will she be wronged by Wen Xianyun?

This is also the one who said that he was helping their aunt and nephew to leave Dongchang Mansion, but he still wanted to take Xi Jiao hostage.

Because he saw Wen Xianyun’s end, and didn’t keep Xi Jiao in his hands, Shen Dilan couldn’t believe that Xi Fuwei would be obedient.

Sure enough, even with her nephew in hand, after this person entered the Zou Mansion, he still had a lot of trouble.

He didn’t do much of the errands he ordered, but frequently came to ask him to help solve this and that, and carefully calculated the accounts. He accepted this person as a loss-making business.

If there were only these words, Xi Fuwei, in Shen Dilan’s mind, was an aspiring and talented person, and could not bear to be reused.

However, during the period when Yu Kedi asked her to serve in the study, the girl’s talent and skills actually gave Tan Lan a surprise.

Probably because girls cannot take the imperial examination, Xi Fuwei herself has a very plain attitude towards this talent.

From the bottom of her heart, she felt nothing great.

However, there is a kind of Tan Pilan. This is the sudden enlightenment of the person I am looking for.

Perhaps he himself is not a peaceful generation in his bones, so he can’t even mention the warm emotions for the gentle lady who keeps himself peacefully.

For example, the tragic Yao Zhuosu, this girl knew his passionate love at a glance, but was indifferent.

This kind of Xiaojiabiyu who can see the bottom at a glance, Shen Pilan is not disgusted, but has no idea of ​​having anything to do with her.

The identity of the noble child and the teachings of his elders since childhood gave him instinctive defense and alienation from ambitious women, such as Fu Chuoxian.

As for Song Jianiang, the right lady, Shen Pilan felt… a little stupid.

It’s not that he deliberately used insulting words to describe Song Jianiang. It’s just that in the eyes of Second Young Master Shen, who has been trained in court training, there is a father like Song Li and a background like Shangshufu. On the contrary, there is no help from the city government everywhere. This kind of woman who does not seek to make progress can only parasitize the power of father and brother and future husband, he really does not bother to greet.

He is not interested in idiots.

Whether it’s the subordinate or the wife…or the wife can’t stand it.

After all, his subordinates are too stupid and he can be reprimanded and replaced, but his wife, especially the right wife, is not so simple whether it is abandoning or reconciliation.

The reason why the Shen family resolutely rejected Song Jianiang was precisely his attitude.

After all, he likes smart.

Even if the character is not necessarily outstanding, even if it is a bit flawed in the eyes of the world…it doesn’t matter if you steal the blue.

In his opinion, Xi Fuwei’s sometimes cruel and calculating skills are precisely her clever performance.

After all, it’s good for the fool not to be taken advantage of, let alone take advantage of others.

Seeing Xi Fuwei’s silence at this moment, he paused, and said, “Not everyone thinks about getting the right person right when they get married. You are really good. Not only I think so, isn’t Ouyang Yuanshui? Otherwise, Fenzhilou is waiting for the word. You are not the only woman in the boudoir, why does he only pester you from beginning to end?”

In fact, among the three girls in Fenzhilou, Xi Fuwei is the most difficult to learn.

Yao Zhuosu, who was born in an ordinary family and did not have a city government, is the best to coax him, and at first glance, he is the kind of person who can accept his fate as long as he has raw rice and cooked rice. As long as it meets the standards of the Golden Tortoise-in-law, it is easy to get started; but Xi Fuwei, like Fu Chuoxian after a squire, but the family is not depressed, with surplus wealth, but also worried about family feuds, the most complicated mind, the hardest heart, and the fastest turning face .

Ouyang Yuanshui helped out from seeing her for the first time, and even though he kept trying to take advantage afterwards, in fact he was sincerely defending.

That’s it, Xi Fuwei didn’t hesitate to refuse.

Ouyang Yuanshui, who is known as romantic, although he did not break off the scene with the beautiful woman next to Xi Fuwei, among the three girls in Fenzhilou, he always chased Xi Fuwei and refused to let go.

Xi Fuwei was indifferent and indifferent, but Shen Qianlan had sent someone to check this out before he realized his intentions for Xi Fuwei.

That’s why Xi Fuwei repeatedly warned Xi Fuwei to keep her distance from Ouyang Yuanshui.

“Isn’t it because I was sent by an adult?” Xi Fuwei thought for a moment, but then asked back, “He is interested in me, and he was directed at Jin Yiwei from the beginning.”

“…” Shen Pilan was silent for a while, and said, “Maybe that was the case at the beginning, but later? Later, you and he knew each other’s position. If he has anything to do, he can directly contact me. You spread the word?”

Xi Fuwei said: “Maybe I’m afraid to tell you that I can’t make it through if I’m stiff?”

Shen Pilan shook his head: “I’m not an unreasonable person. What’s more, he has been in the Zou Mansion for many years but still sits firmly in the seat of the Zou family. This can’t be done by a single person.”

When he said this, he suddenly felt stupid. He was trying to force Xi Fuwei to say what he meant. Why was he talking about Ouyang Yuanshui?

Settling down, he quickly pulled back to the topic, “I don’t think you are a self-defeating person, why, do you think I absolutely despise you?”

“I really don’t pretend to be inferior to myself.” Xi Fuwei murmured, “but I don’t think too much of myself…sir, you and me are really too poor. I am the righteous daughter of Song Shangshu, but what about this righteous daughter? What’s going on, I’m afraid I know it better than me.”

He also said, “The most important thing is, my lord, the Song family can’t really treat me as a biological daughter, and my parents and brothers are no longer there, and they also brought a young nephew… I can’t leave this nephew alone. , It is necessary to bring him. In this way, adults may be generous and do not care, but adults in their homes have always attached great importance to adults, and will allow them to put on ten miles of red makeup, fathers and mothers love the noble daughters not to marry, marry me Will such a drag the adults?”
