Chapter 120 The master giving gifts to his apprentice
"Fourth younger brother and sister, you really should teach Sister Xin some rules. If you are so disrespectful, you may not be able to get married in the future!"
Seeing that Shi Fuxin had once again embarrassed herself in public, Shi Yuhua, who originally wanted to negotiate amicably, couldn't bear it anymore and directly pointed the finger at Jin Yue'e.
Before Jin Yue'e could say anything, Shi Fuxin spoke up: "I have a father, a mother, a brother and a sister. Whether I marry or not, it's not your turn as an outsider to say anything."
"Am I an outsider?"
Shi Yuhua sneered and looked at Mr. Shi and Mrs. Shi: "Father, mother, if outsiders know that the daughters of the Shi family are like this, who will dare to ask for the daughter of the Shi family in the future?"
"Shut up!"
Mr. Shi placed the tea bowl in his hand heavily on the table, glared at Shi Yuhua, and turned his attention to Shi Zhengmao and Shi Zhenghe who walked out of the side hall.
"Zhenghe, tell me, what did your elder brother say to you?"
Shi Zheng and Ningmei looked at Shi Yuhua: "Eldest brother asked me to give Sister Xin's red flame marten to the second sister."
As soon as these words came out, everyone in the room looked a little excited.
Jin Yue'e didn't manage her expression properly, and a look of "Sure enough" appeared directly on her face.
She knew that this second aunt would have something up her sleeve if her attitude towards them suddenly changed for the better. As expected, she was thinking about her little daughter's things again!
Why is this person so shameless? He even cares about his niece's things, and he doesn't look like an elder at all.
"呲~"
Shi Fuxin laughed out loud and looked at Shi Yuhua: "Second aunt, I really admire you. Where do you have the confidence to think that I will give the Red Flame Marten to you?"
Shi Yuhua looked at Shi Fuxin coldly, not bothering to talk to her, and looked at Mr. Shi and Mrs. Shi: "Father, mother, I am not doing this for myself."
"The Red Flame Marten is not what I want, it's Marquis Wu An. He heard from the Imperial Physician Dong Yuanzheng that pills prepared from the blood of the Red Flame Marten can warm the body and expel cold and dampness from the body."
"As you know, Marquis Wu'an has been stationed in the South China Sea when he was young and suffered from illnesses caused by cold and dampness for many years. Now that he knows that the Red Flame Marten can cure his illness, he naturally wants to take the Red Flame Marten away."
Shi Fuxin was speechless: "Is there something wrong with your brain or something wrong with me? Marquis Wu'an's illness is none of my business. Why should I give the Red Flame Marten to him? He is the Emperor!"
Jin Yue'e glared at Shi Fuxin and deliberately raised her voice a little higher: "Sister Xin, please speak carefully."
Shi Fuxin couldn't hold back her anger: "Mom, I want to talk nicely, but there are people who don't treat me well. What can I do?"
Jin Yue'e: "..."
Although she deeply agrees with it, silly girl, don't say it in public. How can she refute this?
Shi Fuyin suddenly said: "You are a lady, so pay attention to your words and deeds."
After hearing this, Shi Fuxin calmed down her anger.
Shi Yuhua was so angry that her chest was heaving, but she still remembered her purpose and did not lose her calm. She just continued to face Mrs. Shi, who said:
"If the Red Flame Marten hadn't bitten Miss Song San during the winter hunting, Marquis Wu An wouldn't have known that there was a Red Flame Marten in our house."
"Miss Song San almost died. If we really want to be honest, we have to take responsibility. Giving them the Red Flame Marten can be considered as us making up for their previous debt..."
Shi Fuxin couldn't help it anymore and directly interrupted Shi Yuhua: "Don't open your mouth and say we are ours, who is we to you? The Red Flame Marten is mine, does it have anything to do with you?"
"I really doubt that a person like you, who doesn't distinguish between right and wrong, doesn't look for his own reasons when things happen, and only knows how to shirk responsibility, can actually be the matron of the house? I'm afraid you have managed the Wei family in a mess!"
He still shamelessly wanted to blame the red flame ferret for biting people on her. There is really something wrong with his mind!
After hearing Shi Fuxin's words, Mrs. Shi's, Zeng Yuwei's, Third Aunt's grandmother Shi Yuwen, and Sixth Aunt's grandmother Shi Yuru's expressions were all somewhat intriguing.
The second sister (eldest sister) did not manage the Wei family in a mess, but in the Wei family, she just took the title of head of the family and did some thankless things. The real person in charge of the Wei family was Wei.
Old lady.
This time, it was Shi Zhenghe who stopped Shi Fuxin: "Sister Xin, please speak up, that's your second aunt." After saying that, he glared at his little daughter and signaled her to stop.
She had to listen to her father's words. Shi Fuxin snorted and did not continue.
Shi Yuhua knew that Shi Fuxin was a rebellious person by nature. Although she was very angry, she was too lazy to argue with her anymore: "Father, mother, I just came back to deliver a message."
"To express his gratitude, Marquis Wu'an promised that as long as we give him the Red Flame Marten and relieve his pain for many years, he will definitely recommend his eldest brother to the Minister of War, and he will be promoted from the fifth grade to the fourth grade this year."
As soon as these words came out, Shi Zhengmao and Mrs. Shi both looked at Mr. Shi and Mrs. Shi eagerly.
The expressions of Mr. Shi and Mrs. Shi did not improve, and they both remained silent.
Red Flame Marten belongs to the second son's family, but the advantage is that the eldest son gets it.
No need to ask, Marquis Wu An must have promised benefits to the Wei family.
Ask the second son's family to bring out the Red Flame Marten, and they won't be able to open their mouths.
Shi Zhengmao obviously knew that Shi Zhenghe agreed to this, so he walked up to Shi Zhenghe and said, "Fourth brother, as long as you help the elder brother this time, the elder brother will definitely get you into the Ministry of War."
He has been working as a member of the fifth-grade military department for more than ten years, and he really wants to be promoted.
He is already in his forties and can't work for a few more years. If he can't get promoted during this period, after his father has passed a hundred years later, the Shi family may have completely disappeared from the capital.
Shi Zhenghe declined politely: "Brother, I'm doing well in the Military and Horse Division."
Shi Zhengmao continued to persuade him earnestly: "Fourth brother, sitting at the head of the Military and Horse Department is just a fifth-rank official. He usually deals with trivial matters. There is no future at all."
Shi Yuhua also helped: "That's right, fourth brother, you haven't done anything to help the family since you returned to the uncle's house. This time you helped the elder brother. Will the elder brother treat you badly in the future?"
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! These words made Shi Zhenghe feel very uncomfortable. He looked at Shi Yuhua coldly: "If I can help eldest brother, I will not refuse, but Red Flame Diao
It belongs to Sister Xin."
As he said that, he looked at Shi Zhengmao apologetically, "Brother, I'm sorry, I can't help you."
Seeing that Shi Zhenghe couldn't make sense, Shi Zhengmao and Shi Yuhua didn't look very good.
Mrs. Shi also looked anxiously at Mrs. Shi and Mrs. Shi, hoping that they could help persuade Shi Zhenghe.
Unfortunately, Mr. Shi and Mrs. Shi did not respond to her.
Mr. Shi looked at Shi Fuxin: "Sister Xin, are you willing to take out the Red Flame Marten?"
Shi Fuxin quickly and decisively shook her head: "I don't want to."
Mr. Shi was silent for a moment, then looked at Shi Zhengmao and Shi Yuhua: "The Red Flame Marten belongs to Sister Xin. Since she doesn't want to, don't say more."
Shi Yuhua was anxious: "Father, it's just a red flame marten. Last time we offended Marquis Wu'an. Fortunately, some Saihua Tuo came from the outer city and saved Miss Song San's life."
"Although this matter has passed, if we don't give Chiyan Diao this time, given Wu Anhou's temperament, he will definitely bear a grudge against us. By then, the uncle's house will not be able to get ahead again. If the eldest brother wants to rise, it is also
It’s no longer possible.”
As he said that, he looked at Shi Fuxin.
"Sister Xin, it's true that Red Flame Mink is yours, but don't forget that you are a member of the Shi family. Only when the Shi family is well can you follow suit. As a member of the Shi family, it is so difficult for you to make some contribution to the family.
?"
Shi Fuxin suddenly laughed: "Second aunt, you are right. Compared with the Shi family, the Red Flame Marten is really nothing."
"However, the Red Flame Marten is too rare. A drop of blood is worth at least a thousand gold. I can catch the Red Flame Marten for the Shi family. This can be regarded as a contribution. As for you, I don't want more. Give me one hundred thousand taels of silver."
, the Red Flame Marten is given to you."
"I will provide the Red Flame Marten, you will provide the money, and we will work together to contribute to the future of the uncle's house."
Shi Yuhua was stunned.
One hundred thousand taels of silver... How could Shi Fuxin, a damn girl, say such a thing?!
Even the eyelids of other people in the room twitched.
Shi Fuxin looked at Shi Yuhua with a smile: "Second aunt, why don't you say anything? Why, in your eyes, the future of the uncle's house and the eldest uncle is not worth a hundred thousand taels of silver?"
When Shi Yuhua came back to her senses, she knew that Shi Fuxin was deliberately causing harm and said angrily: "You are crazy about money. Where can I get 100,000 taels of silver for you?"
"The Wei family!"
Shi Fuxin looked matter-of-fact: "Why, you want to get the favor of Wu'an Marquis for nothing? If that's the case, then I might as well ask my father and uncle to send the Red Flame Marten directly to Wu'an Marquis.
Now that the house is ready, why do we need you and the Wei family to get involved?"
"you......"
Shi Yuhua only knew that Shi Fuxin was articulate before, but she didn't expect that her mind would turn so quickly: "You want to leave me and the Wei family, you can't!"
How much anger did she suffer in order to establish a relationship with Wu'an Houfu?
Because of the Chiyan Marten biting someone, everyone in the Wei family was dissatisfied with her. Her mother-in-law also deprived her of her power as a housekeeper. Ruoxi also suffered a lot of grievances. She was so active in trying to find a way to help Marquis Wu An to get Chi Yan.
Yan Diao just wants her husband's family to see her ability again.
Shi Fuxin, this damn girl, actually wants to leave her and the Wei family, so everything she wants will be ruined.
Shi Fuxin crossed her arms and sneered: "Second aunt, you said that as a member of the Shi family, I should contribute to the Shi family, but aren't you also the daughter of the Shi family? Why, you only ask others to contribute, but you don't do it yourself.
Sitting on the sidelines and enjoying the benefits? You are quite generous to others!"
Looking at her daughter who was speechless by her sixth granddaughter, Mrs. Shi was filled with disappointment. She raised her right hand and waved to Shi Yuhua: "It's getting late. You and my uncle should go back with the children.
"
Shi Yuhua didn't want to leave until he got the Red Flame Sable. It was obvious that both Mrs. Shi and Mr. Shi looked at her with unkind expressions and stood up angrily.
"Father, mother, Marquis Wu'an is famous for his bad temper and good reputation. If the Red Flame Marten can cure his illness, he will not give up. We will send him there proactively, and he will still think of us. But if we wait,
If he comes to ask for it...he is afraid that he will feel that the uncle's house does not give him face."
"For the sake of the uncle's house and for the sake of big brother, you should think about it carefully. I will come back in two days."
Shi Fuxin no longer wanted to be missed by Shi Yuhua, and watched with cold eyes as she was helped out of the house by Wei Ruoxi and her dowry, and quickly followed her.
"Second aunt!"
Shi Yuhua turned back to look at Shi Fuxin, who was leaning over with a smile: "What, you have figured it out and are planning to hand over the Red Flame Marten to me?"
Shi Fuxin walked up to Shi Yuhua, stood on tiptoes, leaned close to her ear, and said in the voice of only two people: "I tell you, even if I let the Red Flame Marten go, you will never take my things."
Do favors and seek benefits!"
Shi Yuhua's eyes widened: "How dare you!"
The smile on Shi Fuxin's face became deeper and deeper: "My Red Flame Marten, I can do whatever I want. You? Who do you think you are? What qualifications do you have to dictate here? You are a coward who only dares to go back to your parents' home to play tricks!"
Shi Yuhua was so angry that she couldn't even speak. She could only point at Shi Fuxin angrily, and her chest heaved violently.
"Mother!"
Wei Ruoxi noticed something was wrong with Shi Yuhua and quickly helped her calm down. Then she looked at Shi Fuxin dissatisfied: "Cousin Xin, what did you say to my mother to make her so angry?"
Shi Fuxin smiled and took a few steps back: "Don't rely on me. They say that you won't do porcelain work without gold diamonds. Your mother wants to use other people's things to get benefits, and she can't stand being spoken to. This mentality
It’s too much to bear..."
"You should advise your mother to make her aware of herself!"
Wei Ruoxi looked at Shi Fuxin in disbelief. The smile on her sixth cousin's face was so bright and bright, but what came out of her mouth was sharper than a knife!
"You've gone too far!"
Shi Fuxin's smile became brighter and she clicked her tongue twice: "You are indeed worthy of being born to your mother."
Seeing Mr. Shi and others walking out, Shi Fuxin didn't want to stay and listen to what they said about taking the overall situation into account, so she skipped out of Yixiang Courtyard with her hands behind her back.
.......
In the carriage of the Wei family, the second uncle Wei Yuze saw his wife turning pale with anger. Instead of comforting him, he complained in a grunt: "I think you are getting less and less attention in the uncle's house. You even dare to ride on a girl."
Get on your head."
Shi Yuhua pursed her lips tightly and did not refute her husband.
Wei Ruoxi, on the other hand, replied weakly: "Father, it's none of Mother's business, it's Sister Xin who is too powerful."
Wei Yuze snorted coldly again, looked at Shi Yuhua and accused: "You are the elder, Sister Xin is the junior, what are you talking about with a junior, you have nothing to gain or lose your identity."
"Also, since you know that your father-in-law and mother-in-law favor Zhenghe and his family, why did you let your eldest brother have a fit on the spot? Can't you talk to Zhenghe privately?"
Shi Yuhua couldn't help it anymore: "Aren't I worried? Since you have better ideas, why did you sit still when I asked you to tell your elder brother before?"
Wei Yuze snorted coldly: "Why should I get involved in your family's affairs? Then again, I didn't expect that you couldn't even handle such a small thing!"
Hearing this, Shi Yuhua was so angry that she vomited blood, but this was how she and Wei Yuze got along since they got married. She was so angry that she couldn't do anything to him.
Thinking of Mrs. Shi's attitude toward her today, Shi Yuhua felt even more sad.
Yes, she is a little selfish, but by giving the Red Flame Marten to the Wu'an Hou Mansion, the Shi family will also benefit. Why can't father and mother figure it out, insisting on protecting that savage girl like Sister Xin?
The carriage rocked along, and three-quarters of an hour later, the Wei family arrived.
Shi Yuhua thought of what Shi Fuxin said about leaving her and the Wei family, and felt uneasy. After hesitating for a while, Mother Yu, who had invited the dowry, whispered a few words.
Afterwards, Mother Yu went to Wu'an Hou Mansion.
...
The annual holiday in Dachu is from the 27th day of the twelfth lunar month to the third day of the lunar new year.
Because he was about to go to work on the fourth day of the Lunar New Year, on the third day of the Lunar New Year, Shi Zhengmao wanted to talk to Shi Zhenghe about sending the Red Flame Marten, and he would not forget the misery of being hidden away in the Ministry of War.
Mrs. Shi also chatted with Jin Yue'e, talking about the difficulties and hardships of the uncle's house.
Mrs. Shi saw this scene in her eyes and sighed: "The boss and the boss's wife did not miss the mark this time. They finally used the right method."
Chiyan Diao is Sister Xin's son, and it's hard for her family to force her to hand it over.
Although the girl is young, her ideas are more upright than those of the adults. If she wants her to hand it over voluntarily, she can only convince the second son and the Jin family first, and then let them convince the girl.
Mr. Shi: "Sister Xin, this girl... Yuhua is a bit selfish, but as a junior, she is shameless to her aunt in public, so she is indeed a bit disrespectful."
Mrs. Shi was silent: "That girl has a fierce temper and has too many water chestnuts on her body, but fortunately, according to Jin and Zhenghe, Wulang and Sister Yin can also control her, so she is not too lawless."
When the persuasion work of Mr. and Mrs. Zhengmao was still in progress, the housekeeper of Wu'an Hou Mansion came to the uncle's house.
"What?! People from the Wu'an Hou Mansion came directly to ask for the Red Flame Marten?"
Shi Fuxin looked in disbelief at Shi Dingxu who came over to tell them the news.
Shi Dingxu wrinkled his plump face: "Marquis Wu An has always been domineering, and our uncle has no power, so naturally he doesn't have to worry about anything."
"If the Marquis of Wu'an who comes here is better, but the Marquis' mansion only sends one housekeeper, this will be a slap in the face of our uncle's house."
Shi Fuxin recalled the scene when Marquis Wu An ordered someone to break in the door when he lived in Saihuatuo last time, and her brows immediately wrinkled: "I don't believe it, Marquis Wu An can still do whatever he wants in the capital!"
Shi Dingxu laughed bitterly and said: "Marquis Wu An cannot do whatever he wants to other people, but he can do whatever he wants to our family. With just one word, he can make my uncle lose his job at the Ministry of War."
"In our family, my grandfather has an earl, and the uncle's official position is the highest. If he loses his official position, it will be difficult to return to officialdom in the future. When my grandfather is a hundred years old, our family will have no support at all."
Shi Fuxin glanced at Shi Dingxu. I wonder if Uncle Qi or Aunt Qi taught this guy what he said just now?
This is a disguised form of forcing her to hand over the Red Flame Marten!
Hey, she really didn't expect that the Wuchang Mansion would decline to this point. She couldn't even resist when people came to grab things. Not only was she unable to resist, she even took the initiative to hand over the Red Flame Marten.
Shi Fuxin felt a little bad. After returning to Shi's house, she didn't get much help, but instead got a lot of pushback. If she hadn't got two farms and six shops on New Year's Eve, she would have regretted coming back to recognize her.
I thought it was outrageous that Marquis Wu An came to ask for the Red Flame Marten, but I never thought that in the afternoon, Duke Qing's steward also came, also asking for the Red Flame Marten.
The people in the Qingguo Duke's Mansion were even more powerful. They didn't even give a reason. The housekeeper raised his chin arrogantly and just said: I heard that Wuchang Bo's Mansion caught a Red Flame Marten.
.......That’s it!
It's not over yet.
On the fourth day of the Lunar New Year, people from Duke Wen's mansion also came to join in the fun.
The banker of Wen Guogong's mansion is the natal family of the current emperor's wife and the uncle's family of the eldest prince.
Shi Dinghao told Shi Fuxin the information he had found out: "It is very likely that Duke Wen's mansion wants the Red Flame Marten for the sake of the eldest prince."
Cheap apprentice still suffering from cold poison?
Shi Fuxin felt a little guilty. She had failed to fulfill her responsibilities as a master, and she didn't even know that her apprentice had been poisoned by cold.
If she knew, she would have given him a bottle of Red Flame Marten's blood!
She is very generous to her own people.
First came the Marquis of Wu'an, then the Duke of Qing, and then the Duke of Wen. In response to this, everyone in the Shi's mansion was stunned, even Shi Yuhua of the Wei family was stunned.
The Hou Mansion will definitely not be able to capture the Duke's Mansion, then everything she has done before will become a joke!
...
"Sister, I also discovered that Chu Yao is not as unbearable as the people in the capital said. He was the first to discover that we have the Red Flame Marten, but he only asked you to give him a cup of blood, and did not rely on it.
Identity Robbery Red Flame Marten is not like Wu'an Marquis and Qing Guo Gong, he is simply worse than a robber."
"Sister, do you want to hand over the Red Flame Marten?"
Shi Fuxin: "What do you think?"
Shi Dinghao scratched the back of his head: "I don't know." Then, with wide eyes, he watched Shi Fuxin take out the jade pendant given to them by Governor Cai.
"It's better to send it to Duke Wen's palace than to send it to my apprentice myself! Jiulang, go, pick up the Red Flame Marten, and let's go to the imperial city for a walk."
"I am the master... Most people give gifts to the master as disciples, but when it comes to me, it's the other way around."
