"No wonder he is disliked by others. It's strange that someone likes him." Shi Fuxin huffed and looked at Chu Yao who was walking away. "You say I look like a pig, but I think he is a pig."
Shi Fuyin also frowned: "This Young Master Yao San is indeed not a good person. You must avoid him in the future."
Shi Fuxin was stunned for a moment, not understanding why her sister's hostility towards Chu Yao suddenly became so deep.
Shi Fuyin: "He came to the National Women's Prison to find Fifth Girl Dongfang in such a grand manner. If the two of them fail to get married in the end, it will be bad for Fifth Girl Dongfang's reputation. If he really likes Fifth Girl Dongfang, how could he be like this?"
Shi Fuxin touched her chin: "I guess he also knew that his reputation was too bad and thought that the Ming government would not agree, so he wanted to take action to get the fifth girl from the East first. As long as the girl from the East nodded, he would be able to win the beauty back.
"
Shi Fuyin frowned tightly: "He only cares about himself and does not consider the fifth girl from the East at all. This person's character is not good."
Shi Fuxin nodded in agreement: "It really doesn't work."
Shi Fuyin warned again: "If you encounter him in the future, you must stay away from him." When Shi Fuxin nodded, the two sisters took a carriage to the Imperial Academy to wait for Shi Dinghao.
...
The two sisters didn't wait long before they saw Shi Dinghao coming out of the Imperial College alone.
Seeing that he was alone without Mr. Zhao, Shi Fuxin was surprised and said: "Jiulang, where is Mr. Zhao?"
Shi Dinghao was a little embarrassed and did not answer immediately. After getting on the carriage, he said gloomily: "Zhao Shenghao went to play Cuju with others."
Shi Fuxin was even more surprised: "Why didn't you go with him?"
Shi Dinghao's face fell: "They won't take me to play with them."
Shi Fuxin and Shi Fuyin were both stunned and quickly looked at each other.
No need to ask, Shi Dinghao also encountered the same problem as them and was marginalized.
Shi Dinghao was a little sad at the moment: "I thought I was familiar with everyone, but I didn't expect that they didn't really accept me at all."
Shi Fuxin asked: "Jiulang, who did Brother Zhao go to play Cuju with?"
Shi Dinghao said in a muffled voice: "They are the young masters from the Duke's and Hou's families in the class." After saying that, he looked at Shi Fuxin and Shi Fuyin, "I can chat with everyone on weekdays.
Why did you abandon me while we were playing Cuju?"
Shi Fuxin: "Brother Zhao didn't take the initiative to call you?"
Shi Dinghao: "He was also temporarily called by Tian Size from Dongshengbo's family. He didn't know anything about the Cuju team before."
Shi Fuxin asked again: "Are all the people in the Cuju team from noble families?".c
Shi Dinghao thought for a moment and nodded: "Well, the people with the worst family backgrounds in the Cuju team all come from the families of third-rank officials."
Shi Fuxin's face became clear: "Jiulang, they don't play with you because... there is a gap between your family background and theirs."
Shi Dinghao didn't understand: "I am also the son of the Bo family."
Shi Fuxin: "The uncle's house is different from the uncle's house. Our family only has the name of the uncle's house. There is no real powerful person. In the eyes of those people, it is worthless."
Shi Dinghao showed his disapproval: "But I am valuable. I am very good at qinggong, so I am best suited for Cuju."
Shi Fuxin was silent for a moment: "Your Qinggong is good, but for those people, winning or losing in Cuju is not that important. It is just a way to communicate and deepen feelings."
Shi Dinghao was discouraged and couldn't help but muttered: "But I usually play well with them."
Shi Fuxin: "With some relationships, it's okay to laugh and have dinner, but it's not okay if you want to go further. If you want to enter the inner circle, you have to exchange it with corresponding value."
"Obviously, at this moment, you can't bring enough value to let them play with you."
Shi Dinghao frowned: "What should I do? I really want to play Cuju?"
Shi Fuxin: "You can form a Cuju team by yourself. There are so many students in the Imperial College, but it's hard to find people for a Cuju team? If you are good enough, you can form a team of your own."
Invincible Cuju team, those who rejected you today might come back and beg you to join them."
Shi Dinghao's eyes lit up: "Yes, I can form my own team."
Seeing that their brother was smiling again, Shi Fuxin and Shi Fuyin looked at each other and smiled.
Two quarters of an hour later, the three siblings returned to the uncle's house.
When passing by Yixiang Hall, I found that all the girls from the Shi family were gathered in the courtyard.
"You didn't have class today?"
When the second girl, Shi Fuyue, saw Shi Fuyin and the others coming back, she smiled and said, "Mrs. Marquis Baoning is here today. Grandma asked us to come over to meet the guests."
As soon as she finished speaking, Grandma An walked out with a smile, holding a tray in her hand with two strings of pearl necklaces and a wolf-hair pen.
"Third Miss, Sixth Miss, this is the meeting gift given to you by Mrs. Baoning Hou. This wolf-hair pen is for Master Jiu."
Shi Fuxin took the pearl necklace and looked at Aunt An curiously: "Does everyone have one?"
Grandma An smiled and nodded: "We have them all. The girls in the family all got a string of pearl necklaces, and the young men all got a wolf-hair pen."
Hearing this, Shi Fuxin raised her eyebrows. There were many girls and young masters in the Shi family. It would cost a lot for Mrs. Baoning Hou to come to the uncle's house.
These days, if you don’t have some financial resources, you won’t be able to even visit.
"What is Mrs. Baoning doing here?"
Aunt An: "The wife of Marquis Baoning and the old lady are old friends. Mrs. Baoning came to visit the old lady on behalf of her mother-in-law."
Shi Fuxin nodded and didn't ask any more questions.
Old friend?
I haven't moved around in so many years, so this sudden visit is probably not just for a visit.
After greeting Mrs. Shi, Shi Fuxin returned to Lanyue Building. As soon as she returned, she entered the study and continued to immerse herself in writing a medical training book.
When it was almost time to eat dinner, An Ran came in and called Shi Fuxin: "Girl, the Fourth Madam sent someone to say that the food is ready and asked you to come over early."
Shi Fuxin said "hmm" and put down the pen after writing the last word.

Shi Fuxin was cleaning her hands. After hearing this, she raised her head in surprise: "Purse?"
An Ran nodded: "It's the kind of purse you gave to everyone when you returned home, girls."
Shi Fuxin said "Oh": "Did grandma give it to me?"
An Ran: "I gave it, and I gave two back."
Shi Fuxin smiled and said, "If that's the case, then Baoning Hou Mansion didn't spend any money today."
An Ran didn't understand what Shi Fuxin meant at first, but when she saw Shi Fuxin sitting in front of the dressing table and playing with the pearl necklace given by Marquis Baoning, she suddenly understood.
Shi Fuxin: "How do people in the Baoning Marquis Mansion know about purses?"
An Ran replied: "Uncle Wei's nephew used to be a bedridden patient, but now he can walk around like a normal person. Seeing how well he is doing, relatives and friends of the Wei family have to ask about it. Don't mention this inquiry.
Girl, you gave me the purse."
Shi Fuxin: "So that's it." She said with a smile, "Before the purse in grandma's hand is delivered, our house will be busy for a while."
Grandma An also said this when An Ran went to inquire about Mrs. Baoning Hou's visit today.
An Ran glanced at his girl and said, "Master Wei is in good health. My second aunt and grandma will probably bring the Wei family to the door to say thank you."
Shi Fuxin sneered: "Thank you? I don't expect them to say thank you. As long as the second aunt doesn't keep causing trouble for our family, I will be thankful."
With that said, he stood up and walked out of the room.
An Ran hurriedly followed, and after realizing Shi Fuxin's displeasure with Shi Yuhua, she didn't mention a word about the Wei family all the way.
Indeed, as Shi Fuxin expected, in the following month, people came to Wuchang Bo's Mansion to beg for their purses.
During this period, Mrs. Shi Da took Jin Yue'e to entertain guests throughout the whole process.
Give me some pointers from time to time.
After a month, Jin Yue'e was able to deal with it with ease when facing the female relatives in other households.
After sending away Mrs. Dong from Taiyi Hospital, Mrs. Shi returned to Yimingtang with a brisk expression. As soon as she returned, she saw Shi Fulin sitting in the room and looking through the posts she had received during this period.
"Mother."
Seeing that Mrs. Shi looked a little tired, Shi Fulin quickly poured her a cup of tea: "Thank you for your hard work, mother."
Mrs. Shi took the tea happily, took a sip and then said with a smile: "I am a little tired during this period, but my mother is happy. She is happy to continue to be so tired."
As he said that, he picked up the post on the table with a somewhat complicated expression, "The wallet that we looked down on at the beginning has now become a rare item that everyone is vying for."
Shi Fulin lowered her eyes and said nothing. When her fourth aunt gave her the purse, she didn't take it because she disliked it.
Nowadays it is impossible to get one.
The skin of the middle sisters has become smoother and smoother because they wear purses every day. She would be lying if she said she wasn't envious of them.
Madam Shi looked at her silent daughter and sighed. Just as she was about to say something, she saw the maid walking in: "Madam, the Fourth Madam is here and wants to ask you something."
Mrs. Shi immediately stood up and started walking around the hall.
Shi Fulin was a little unhappy: "Mother, you are so tired. What happened to the fourth aunt? Can't she come to you again tomorrow?"
