Chapter 163, support
First, there were rumors about Shi Fuyin and Luo Yuanqing's engagement, and then there were rumors about Shi Dingheng and Luo Yuanqing being arrested in Yu Tao Pavilion. The 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 their reputation will definitely be affected, even the uncle's house will be affected to a certain extent.
The source of all this is the fact that Zeng sponsored the Qing government's government as a mediator.
At this moment, from Mrs. Shi to grandchildren like Shi Dingrong and Shi Fulin, they are 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 four younger siblings for this matter. Mrs. Zeng really went too far. How can she interfere in Sister Yin's marriage? And there are rumors."
"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?"
Shi Da Furen snorted and laughed: "Perhaps in Zeng's heart, she helped talk about this relative in order to draw in the relationship between their family and the fourth brother's family."
"She, from the bottom of her heart, looks down on the fourth brother's family. She thinks that Qing Guogong's family is prominent. If she tells Luo Yuanqing about Sister Yin, that is also the fourth 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 was very angry when she saw Shi Zhengmao, thought for a while, and changed the subject: "Master, who do you think Dingheng was called to go to Yu Tao Pavilion?"
Shi Zhengmao: "After Zhengkun's family moved out of Bofu, I don't know Dingheng's social circle. How can I know if he offended someone outside?"
Shi Da Furen 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, but their temperament and temperament can be seen roughly."
"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."
Shi Da Furen asked again: "How many Goro?"
Shi Zhengmao: "That's even more impossible. Where is Goro? 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, Shi Wulang 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 all assigned by the mansion. They have only been in Beijing for a year. Do you think they can have such abilities?"
Shi Da Furen stopped talking. Theoretically speaking, it is really impossible for Sister Xin and Jiu Lang to do this matter, but she just faintly feels that it has something to do with them.
No way, this timing is really a coincidence.
Yixiangtang, Mrs. Shi and Mrs. Shi are also discussing this matter.
Shi the old man looked at his old wife: "Why do you think that Dingheng fell into Sister Xin's trick?"
Lady Shi: "Intuition."
Grandpa Shi: "."
The old lady Shi also knew that saying this was not enough to convince people, but she didn't explain it to the old lady Shi, but said: "I thought it was simple 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 the corrupt Luo Yuanqing to Sister 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 with each other afterwards."
"Such no scruples, it is because I don't want to get along with each other from the bottom of my heart."
"It's me, I took it for granted."
The old man also sighed at the time. The biological son must be kept by his side, but the adopted son has also given his affection and energy. As old people, they naturally want their parents and children to get along well with each other.
Unfortunately, the world is unpredictable. What they hope seems simple, but in fact it is full of difficulties.
At this time, Nanny An came in: "Old Madam, Miss Six is back."
Shi the old lady thought for a while, and asked An Nam to call An Ran over: "Go quietly, don't disturb Liu girl."
Nurse An nodded and stepped back.
On the other side, Shi Fuxin went directly to Yigui Courtyard after returning to the uncle's mansion, and then found out about her mother and sister both going crazy today and beating Zeng's mother.
"Mother, sister, what you did is too right, you should slap that Zeng sternly."
While the mother and daughter were talking, An Ran saw the maid outside the courtyard waving towards her, and retreated silently.
Shi Fuxin glanced at her, and continued talking to Jin Yuee and Shi Fuyin.
Within a quarter of an hour, An Ran returned.
After staying in Yigui Courtyard 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 she returned to Lanyue Building, An Ran didn't take the initiative to say that the old lady asked her to go over and ask her a question.
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 me 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 her time was constant?
"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.
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 handle affairs is important, but loyalty comes first."
"You didn't seem to say anything today, but you actually said everything."
"You said that you dare not lie to grandma, I understand this, but in the future, you should not go out with me, just take care of everything in the house, so that you don't have to be embarrassed."
An Ran was stunned, 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 doing after skipping class and leaving the National Women's Prison today, she should help hide it.
With Luo Yuanqing and Shi Dingheng, she is not afraid that Mrs. Shi will know, but next time, if she does something she doesn't want others to know, this girl will be a ticking time bomb.
An Ran's heart shuddered, and she quickly expressed her opinion: "Girl, this servant made a mistake, and I will definitely never do this again."
Shi Fuxin was noncommittal: "I look at people, and I never believe what they say, only how they do it. Come on, don't kneel down, you are the person my grandmother gave me anyway, it's not good if people see it."
After finishing speaking, Shi Fuxin turned around and walked away.
An Ran paused, got up and followed.
Not long after, Shi Fuxin came to Yixiang Hall.
"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.
Nurse 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 began to copy the scriptures.
There are two grandparents and grandchildren, one chanting scriptures and the other copying scriptures, neither disturbing the other.
In a blink of an eye, the sky outside became dark.
Old 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 restricted too much. For some things, you can 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, if you don't pay attention, not only will you get involved, but your family will suffer along with it."
Shi Fuxin listened to Madam Shi's words, fell silent for a moment, and continued to write: "My granddaughter thinks that whether it's the capital city or the border, it's all about strength."
Old Madam Shi: "Yes, no matter where this person goes, it is the last word to be strong. However, whether the strength is strong or not has nothing to do with the strength of a person's kung fu."
"There are quite a few ninth-rank warriors in Jianghu, 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 good ending."
Shi Fuxin looked calm: "That's because none of them are strong enough."
Shi the old lady stopped playing with the beads: "No matter how strong a person is, that is the courage of a man, and the courage of a 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.
The old lady 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."
"Might is never 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 human bodyguards."
Seeing that Shi Fuxin was silent, Mrs. Shi glanced at her: "Simple and brutal force can only solve part of the problem, and often treat the symptoms but not the root cause."
"In a place like the capital, which is orderly and rule-based, with 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 **** 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 so that 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, and seeing that she was still walking towards the scriptures in a leisurely manner, she 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."
Watching 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: "The girl doesn't believe me."
I didn't believe her, and made the decision for sister Huiyin, so I took the initiative to teach Zeng Shi a lesson.
Shi the old man comforted: "The fourth child's family has only been back for a year, you teach well, and they will know your hard work in the future."
Shi old lady 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."
Even if the reputation of the Duke of Qing is not good, it is still the government of the Duke. With the current situation of the Shi family, there is really no bargaining chip to go head-to-head with them.
The old man was silent for a while: "In the future, the Zhenghe family and the Zhengkun family will not be allowed to meet."
The old lady nodded her head: "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.
Rebuked the children of Duke Qing's mansion for their improper self-cultivation, which had a very bad impact on the social atmosphere.
This time, the affair became a big deal.
Special Investigation Division.
Ye Mo just came back from the dungeon when he saw Zhao Jing walking over with a smile.
"Fan Yushi was 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 doesn't hurt, it doesn't hurt, what kind of punishment is this?"
Zhao Jing: "Duke Qing was reprimanded in public, and he lost 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, don't allow others to bully them!"
