Chapter 290, Initiative
Reality always likes to waste broken people's expectations. At that time, after Fuxin rationalized her needs for Master Fan Xiaohou and was about to actively promote the relationship, Princess Chengyang slapped her hard.
Shi Fuxin knew that Princess Chengyang looked down on the Shi family, but she didn't expect that she would look down on the Shi family so much.
After the Dragon Boat Festival, the weather became hotter day by day, and the Shi family's carriage waited under the sun for more than two quarters of an hour before being able to enter the other courtyard.
It’s not annoying to wait normally, but the servants who were escorting deliberately let the Beppu carriage jump in line, so that the female family members of the other family could enter the other courtyard first.
Seeing this, Shi Fuxin didn't understand anything.
The servants dare not be so rude, they must have been ordered by the master to act like this.
When getting off the carriage, seeing the fine sweat on the foreheads of the female family members of the Shi family, trying to avoid embarrassment and forced smiles, and the snickering and pointing of the female family members around, Shi Fuxin raised her hand and touched her cheeks. A slap in the face, it hurts enough.
Xiaofang saw Fu Xin's expression was ugly, and complained in a low voice: "The servants of the Yongchuan Hou's Mansion are too incapable of doing things."
Nurse Leng looked at Shi Fuxin's face: "The royal princess naturally doesn't have too many scruples in doing things. It may be because on the Dragon Boat Festival, the young master gave the girl an imperial bracelet in public, and Princess Chengyang was dissatisfied, so With today's severance."
Shi Fuxin snorted: "Her son gave it to her on her own initiative, and I didn't ask for it."
Hearing this, Nurse Leng paused for a moment, then looked at Shi Fuxin: "Girl, every mother in the world thinks her son is the best, and if she made a mistake, it was at the instigation of others."
"It's even more true that ordinary people are so royal. For this, the girl must be mentally prepared."
Shi Fuxin took a deep breath: "Got it."
At that time, when the female family members were being led by the maids to go to Princess Chengyang, when they passed a lotus pond, they saw Xiaohou Fan drinking tea and laughing with several young princes in the waterside pavilion.
When Master Fan Xiaohou saw Shi's family, he immediately stood up, talked to the people around him, and walked over with a smile.
Nurse Leng saw that her girl's face was a bit stinky, and she deliberately turned her head away, and immediately reminded: "Girl, you must not take your anger on Young Master."
Shi Fuxin glanced at Nanny Leng, but said nothing.
Nurse Leng said again: "Girl, when mother-in-law sees her future daughter-in-law, there will be some embarrassments and difficulties."
Shi Fuxin suddenly smiled: "Nurse, don't worry, it's good to expose Princess Chengyang's attitude towards me earlier, so I can see Fan Mingyu's reaction."
At this time, Fan Mingyu arrived, first bowed to Mrs. Shi and the others, and then went straight to Shi Fuxin's side: "The scenery in the other courtyard is nice. After I see my mother, I will take you around."
Shi Fuxin nodded with a smile: "Are you okay now? If not, accompany us to see the princess."
Fan Mingyu hesitated for a moment, then turned around and waved to the people in the waterside pavilion, indicating that he would leave for a while, and then said to Shi Fuxin: "Let's go, I will accompany you to see your mother."
On the way, Shi Fuxin deliberately slowed down, a few steps behind everyone.
Fan Mingyu saw him, the corner of his mouth curled up, and he also slowed down.
Shi Fuxin looked at him, and told about the neglect of the Shi family: "The princess doesn't like me."
Shi Fuxin was noncommittal: "Fan Mingyu, let me ask you, do you like me?"
Fan Mingyu was taken aback by Shi Fuxin's straightforwardness, and stopped in his tracks. Looking at Shi Fuxin, he didn't know how to react for a moment.
Nurse Leng beside her also had some headaches, the girl is really too bold.
Shi Fuxin saw that Fan Mingyu didn't answer, she tilted her head and looked at him: "I guessed wrong?"
Fan Mingyu shook his head: "No, I like you." After speaking, his ears felt a little hot, his eyes wandered a little, and he didn't dare to look directly at Shi Fuxin.
Shi Fuxin smiled, and continued to walk forward: "Fan Mingyu, do you like me, do you want to find someone to laugh with when you are bored, or do you really want to get along with me?"
Fan Mingyu followed, and said without thinking, "Of course I really want to get along with you." I want to marry you and go home.
Shi Fuxin lowered her eyes: "If it's serious, let me ask you, the gap between the Shi family and the Marquis of Yongchuan is real. If the princess is not satisfied with my identity, what are you going to do?"
Fan Mingyu frowned and looked at Shi Fuxin: "Sixth sister, don't worry, I will find a way to convince mother."
After finishing speaking, she looked at Shi Fuxin nervously, worried that she would not believe her, but Shi Fuxin smiled.
"I believe in you, you will handle it well."
Seeing this, Fan Mingyu heaved a sigh of relief, but at the same time, there was an unconcealable joy in his heart, a kind of joy of being trusted.
When they were about to arrive at the courtyard where the princess was entertaining guests, a servant hurried over and whispered a few words to Master Fan, who then looked at Shi Fuxin apologetically.
"Sixth sister, something happened, I have to go to deal with it, I can only send you here."
Shi Fuxin glanced at the anxious but calm messenger boy, and guessed that this person should be sent by Princess Chengyang. The purpose was to prevent others from seeing Fan Mingyu appearing with them.
"Go and do your work."
After Fan Mingyu left, Nanny Leng looked at Shi Fuxin hesitantly.
When Shi Fuxin saw it, she wanted to pretend she didn't see it, but Nanny Leng's gaze was too strong, she could only say helplessly: "Mommy, I know what you want to say, left and right are just something I should be reserved about."
Nurse Leng: "Since the girl knows, why did you ask the young master those questions just now?"
Shi Fuxin smiled and said: "Of course it's to gain the initiative." Looking at Nanny Leng, "I know, everyone in the world thinks that a girl should be reserved, even if she likes a certain man, she shouldn't say it out loud, she should Wait for the man to take the initiative."
"However, waiting for the man to take the initiative is equivalent to handing over the initiative to the man."
"Waiting for a man to take the initiative to show love and let him control the advancement of the relationship and whether it continues to exist is too passive. I don't want to be led by the nose."
"As for telling Fan Mingyu that Princess Chengyang is dissatisfied with me, one is to see his ability to deal with the problem, and two, his mother, of course he has to deal with it himself."
Shi Fuxin ran her fingers across the bushes on the side of the road, broke off a short branch, and played with it in her hand: "It's a fool to rush everything first."
Nurse Leng looked at Shi Fuxin: "The girl is right, but this is a test of the young master's ability."
Shi Fuxin looked at the courtyard in front of her, and could already hear the chatter and laughter coming from inside: "The test is his ability, if a person does not have the ability to solve practical problems, no matter how good his family background is, he will send you peach cakes again. It's useless!"
