Chapter 160, This is how I am
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.
"It's really rare that grandma is willing to punish sixth sister."
In Shi Fulin's yard, Shi Fuzhi, Shi Furan, and the other sisters of the Shi family were all there.
When 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. Grandmother should have punished her long ago."
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 Fuyin and the others: "You also think my mother is uneasy and kind when she tells Shi Fuyin a matchmaker?"
Fu Ying didn't answer at the time, as if she was tacitly acquiescing.
Other people will not take the initiative to find trouble, 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 this time. Her own 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, and 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 doesn't answer the question directly.
Shi Fuzhen 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."
Shi Fuzhi hasn't responded yet, so 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 so simply, her eyes widened immediately: "You"
After all, they grew up together. Shi Fu knew Shi Furan's character and had no 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 the Duke's Mansion of the Qing Dynasty 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 so much."
Shi Fu's brows 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."
These words were really a bit rude, and if Shi Fuzhi restrained her emotions again, she couldn't help but sulk.
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.
Maybe it was influenced by Mrs. Shi's words of advice, or maybe it was the Special Investigation Division's arrest of the Yan Party some time ago, which made her understand the truth of a family's prosperity and damage. At this moment, she instinctively wants to protect Shi Fuyin.
There was some silence in the room. Shi Furan gave Shi Fulin a wink, trying to make her 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 uncle'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 entire 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.
Grandmother is right, even though they grew up in the border, and they don't have much knowledge and vision, but their ability to calculate is not inferior to them who have received good education since childhood.
Before they returned to the Bo’s house, their family had already calculated everything. First, they asked them to move out of the Bo’s house under the threat of not returning to the house.
As soon as they moved out of the Bo’s house, their family and the Bo’s house became two families from now 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 the calculations of that family, and the Bofu no longer regards their family as family members.
When Flynn looked at the silent sisters, she felt extremely tired.
Recently, she has found more and more that Sister Fuzhi and Furan are becoming more and more uncomfortable getting along with them, and she doesn't say a lot of things clearly, and she always says and leaves one sentence, which is very tiring.
Perhaps the sister-in-law is right, she should invite Sister Fuzhi and Furan less to the gatherings between sisters in the future.
The small Buddhist hall in the backyard of Yixiang Hall.
Shi Fuxin knelt in front of the Buddha statue, looked at the winding cigarettes, and thought about how Mrs. Shi punished herself. After 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 in person?
Why do you want to see Zeng doing things that harm her sister's interests while buying from Shi's family with a kind face?
She just wanted to slap Zeng in the face in public, she was upset, why could 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 table, picked up a pen, pursed her lips, and began to copy 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.
The old lady only punished the sixth girl 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.”
Shi Fuxin kept holding the chopsticks in her hand: "Why not, I'm upset, and I'm going to vent it."
Shi Fuyin looked at her 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 served as a mediator for Duke Qing's government, but my family didn't know that Duke Qing's government might be involved with the regent."
Shi Fuxin nodded: "It's not important, I got angry today, not all because of the Duke Qing's government, but mainly because the Li family wanted to get involved in your marriage, and the others didn't object."
Said, put down the bowl 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 this possible?"
"Since the day our family appeared, there have been irreconcilable conflicts between our family and Shi Zhengkun's family."
"Aside from 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."
"For Shi Zhengkun, the existence of his father is also a stain on his life, a stain that turned him from a prince of the Bofu 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 wishful thinking that they want our family and Shi Zhengkun's family to get along like family members."
"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."
"In turn, Shi Zhengkun's family definitely doesn't want to see our family live better than them. As long as you think about this, you can 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. I just wanted to let our family and Shi Zhengkun's family repair the relationship. I feel that the Zeng family has taken the initiative, so we should continue, and we can sacrifice our interests as a premise."
"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, one set of one set."
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, I have always been wrong with people. Different people have different ways of dealing with it."
Shi Fuyin was speechless: "You're so embarrassed to admit it." Seeing Shi Fuxin still smiled complacently, reached out and tapped her forehead, "You, bully the weak and be afraid of the strong."
Shi Fuxin is confident and confident: "As long as a person lives, what he fights for is the initiative. If I am weak and he is strong, I will endure it. But I am obviously stronger, so why should I endure it?"
Shi Fuyin couldn't laugh or cry, my sister is a typical villain, but you still can't find a reason to refute her.
That's all, it's really not easy for their family and Li's family to get involved too much, and Zeng scolded him.
Yixiang Hall.
Old Madam Shi knew that Shi Fuyin had delivered food to Shi Fuxin, so she gave a 'hmm' and continued to eat with Mrs. Shi.
Shi the old man glanced at the old wife, and asked with a smile: "Are you really going to punish the six girls?"
Old Madam Shi: "Sister Xin, this girl. I used to think that she grew up in the border and had a free temper, so she would be more straightforward and impulsive in her actions. When 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."
Shi the old man was stunned for a moment: "I can't do it, I think Liu girl is quite sensible."
Shi the old lady looked at her wife: "That girl is a good at 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 good care of the grandson.
"By the way, what do you think about the marriage in the Duke of Qing's mansion that Zeng mentioned?"
Shi the old lady thought for a while: "The Duke of Qing's mansion is definitely not acceptable, but I have to think about how to refuse, and there is no need to offend people if I say that I can't get married."
As he spoke, 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 Xin's undisguised anger, Mrs. Shi narrowed her eyes again.
Although the reputation of Duke Qing's Mansion is not very good, but it is the Duke's Mansion after all, even if he is not happy, he shouldn't be so angry? Does that girl know something about the inside situation?
"Why"
Hearing Mrs. Shi sigh, Mrs. Shi looked over: "Why are you still sighing?"
Old Madam Shi: "I found out that I am really old, and I can't even see through a little girl." There are so many grandchildren in the mansion, she doesn't say that she fully understands their tempers, but she can more or less get a rough idea.
But for Sister Xin, sometimes she really can't figure it out.
If it is said that the time spent together is short, so she can't understand, but for Wulang, Jiulang, and sister Yin, she can infer their ways of doing things through their temperament. Only this sister Xin is difficult for her to control.
You want to 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.
Her standards are hard to judge.
