Poor Family

Chapter 303, make it clear

Fan Mingyu's letter to Shi Fuxin was to ask Shi Fuxin to go out on the day of the Double Ninth Festival to climb high and look far away. The purpose was to save the matter between them again, but unfortunately, the letter was stopped by Shi Yuhua.

On the day of the Double Ninth Festival, Fan Mingyu waited at the appointed place for a whole day, until it was completely dark, and then left without saying a word.

Because of Ye Mo, Shi Fuxin had been paying attention to the Tonggu Pass during this time, so she didn't notice that when entering and exiting the uncle's mansion, a doorman ran away as soon as he saw her.

In mid-September, the person in charge of the Huaiyuan branch of Shennongtang sent a letter to Fei Ge, saying that the Tongguguan soldiers could only eat one meal a day, and there was no more food and grass delivered, and they were really going to run out of food.

After Shi Fuxin read it, she was silent for a long time, then got up and went to the study, and wrote a letter to the cheap apprentice.

In the eldest prince's mansion, in the secret room, the eldest prince and Chu Yao sat facing each other. There was an open letter paper on the desk in the middle. Both of them read the contents of the letter, and their expressions were a little dignified.

The content of the letter is: Tonggu Pass food and grass will be cut off soon, Shennongtang can support a batch of food and grass, good apprentice, do you want to come up with this idea? Master's pen.

In the silence, the First Prince gave a wry smile: "Master, she really will give me problems!"

Chu Yao looked at the eldest prince: "Miraculous doctor Liu asked the eldest prince if he wanted to get ahead. I think I need to translate it. She may be Shennongtang. What I really want to ask is, do you dare to get ahead?"

The eldest prince raised his eyes and looked over: "You mean?"

Chu Yao nodded: "Yes, they probably want to use this matter to test the eldest prince."

"In the past few years, Shennongtang's reputation in the border has gradually increased. It can be seen from its preferential treatment of soldiers guarding the border that Shennongtang's actions are quite righteous to the family and the country."

"Maybe it's because of Doctor Liu, or maybe they follow the rules of etiquette like the Hall of Reincarnation, and think that you, the eldest prince, are the eldest son of the emperor and the one who is most qualified to inherit the great line."

"But qualifications are qualifications, and abilities are abilities."

"Shen Nong Tang doesn't know whether you are a qualified monarch, so it has this testing behavior."

Chu Yao clicked on the letter on the table: "Prince, this letter seems to be a family letter from Dr. Liu, but it is actually Shennongtang's selection of the master!"

"This time, if the eldest prince chooses to stand out, then he will be completely tied to Shennongtang."

The eldest prince was not particularly happy when he heard this, but instead heaved a long sigh.

It is certainly a good thing to have Shennong Hall in your pocket, but at the same time you have to lose a lot.

This time, I have to bear a lot of pressure.

There is Ye Mo in Tongguguan. As for Ye Mo, enemies are all over the court, and there are many people who want him to die. The most important thing is that the father doesn't want him to continue living.

If he stands out, he will not only challenge the officials, but also challenge his father.

What's more, he's about to get ahead, and I'm afraid that he won't be able to hide his clumsiness and stay out of things in the future, and he will have to get involved in the battle of princes again. Although he has never been far away, but moving from behind the scenes to the front of the stage, there will still be a lot more Trouble.

Maybe what Shennongtang is testing is whether he has the ability to withstand this pressure?

The eldest prince looked up at Chu Yao: "What do you mean?"

Chu Yao didn't answer directly, but said with a face of disapproval: "There are many ways to deal with Ye Mo. You shouldn't drag the soldiers of Tonggu Pass into the water."

"Although the Marquis of Baoning has brought his army and horses to support Tonggu Pass at any time, there is a contingency in everything. If something goes wrong and Tonggu Pass is really lost, and the Beiyan army enters, the border will be closed. It's going to be a mess."

The eldest prince kept nodding his head. He also felt that it was very inappropriate to use the food and grass in the Tonggu Pass to make Ye Mo defeated and convicted. Some officials in the court were simply unworthy of being officials. Needless to say.

Royal Father may not want Ye Mo to live on, but Royal Father absolutely does not want to see Tonggu Pass fall. Maybe he can come in from this aspect, as long as he doesn't annoy Royal Father, other things come second.

Chu Yao suddenly laughed.

The eldest prince looked over: "What are you laughing at?"

Chu Yao smiled and said, "I'm wondering what kind of person the master of Shennong Hall is."

The eldest prince also became interested: "What kind of person do you think he is?"

Chu Yao thought for a while and said, "It should be a person who likes to take the initiative to show his sword." Otherwise, he would not dare to openly get involved with the First Prince, let alone ask the First Prince if he dared to come forward when there is a shortage of food at Tonggu Pass.

He is also not as indifferent to fame and wealth as the legendary master, but he never hides what he has done, and seems to like to gain fame.

To be honest, he also felt that the eldest prince was a bit too clumsy and low-key, if he really didn't show his abilities at all, how could he attract capable people to follow him?

Saying that, he smiled and glanced at the First Prince again.

"Miraculous doctor Liu and Qi are good friends, so they should have similar temperaments."

The corner of the eldest prince's mouth twitched unnaturally. His biggest feeling for her old master was that she was too nasty! ! !

Really like an old child.

"You go and do your work. I have to think about how to tell my father about Shennongtang's support for Tongguguan's grain and grass after I enter the palace tomorrow."

The prestige of Shennongtang in the border is not low, just like having a sharp sword. The sharp sword can stab the enemy as well as oneself.

At the end of September, because the eldest prince asked Shennongtang for help, Shennongtang supported a batch of grain and grass to Tongguguan, so that Tongguguan soldiers defeated Beiyan's army. When the news of the victory came back, the people in the capital cheered.

After Shi Fuxin found out, she and Shi Jiulang sat around and made tea, playing chess and chatting comfortably.

Shi Jiulang dropped a son: "Sister, if the eldest prince doesn't show up this time, what will you do?"

Shi Fuxin directly ate his younger brother's son: "Secretly send food to Tongguguan."

Seeing that the child was eaten, Jiulang pouted, and placed the child again: "Recently, the first prince's life has been a bit difficult, and the crown prince and other princes are targeting him again."

As he said that, he looked at Shi Fuxin, "I think it's actually quite good for the First Prince to keep a low profile and hide his clumsiness, unlike now, he's become a target again."

Shi Fuxin looked indifferent, and took another shot: "Being a target also has its advantages. After ten thousand arrows go through the heart, it can be tempered into steel."

"People have inertia and inertia. They all want to pretend to be pigs and eat tigers, but after pretending for a long time, they will form a fixed way of doing things."

"When does human ability grow the fastest?"

"Not when forbearing, but when attacking, when encountering a crisis."

"If a tiger cub lives like a pig instead of hunting like a tiger, believe it or not, it will eventually become a pig."

"The emperor is afraid of the Wei family. The crown prince's position is not solid. He promoted the fourth prince to fight with him. The other princes are also constantly moving. The eldest prince is safe from the sidelines, but he doesn't have the experience and ability to adapt to the real confrontation."

"No matter how clever his brain is, no matter how advanced his mind is, if he only relies on his brain to do things, without personal experience, he can only become a person who talks on paper in the end."

After finishing speaking, he dropped a piece and directly ate a large piece of his younger brother's pieces.

"It's like you and I playing chess. Before you played chess, you never thought of losing to me. You felt that your layout was very deep. In your imagination, you would definitely win against me, but in reality?"

"The world is changing all the time, people are changing, situations are changing, and everything is changing. Experience and adaptability can only be obtained when you participate, not by imagination."

"I am very pleased that the eldest prince dared to bear the pressure to stand out this time. He really deserves to be my apprentice."

Shi Dinghao listened carefully, seeing his own defeat on the chessboard, he didn't want to play anymore.

Shi Fuxin glanced at him: "You still have a chance to come back." Said, she picked up her younger brother's chess piece and landed it in one position.

When Shi Dinghao looked at it, his eyes lit up immediately, and the siblings continued to play.

After more than ten fiascos, Shi Dinghao finally won against Shi Fuxin once, grinning and said: "Sister, you are right, experience is very important."

At the beginning of October, before the first snowfall, the Marquis of Jiang'an held a banquet, and the women of the Shi family were invited to attend.

When they arrived at the Hou's Mansion, because Jin Yue'e didn't come, Shi Fuxin was not in high spirits, so she leaned on the fence of the pavilion, chatting with the Shi family sisters, while looking at the scenery in the courtyard boredly.

When she saw all the female relatives coming around Princess Chengyang, thinking that her mother was reluctant to go out because she was publicly humiliated in Princess Qingyang's mansion, Fu Xin's eyes turned cold.

Then, Shi Fuxin paused.

Behind Princess Chengyang, Fan Mingyu and the girl from the Jin family walked side by side, and the girl from the Jin family smiled shyly.

"唰~"

The girls of the Shi family all turned their attention to Shi Fuxin.

Shi Fuxin's expression was indifferent, without any fluctuations in expression.

Fan Mingyu didn't want to come to the backyard where the female relatives stayed, but Princess Chengyang insisted that he come and pay a visit to Mrs. Caihou, so he could only follow.

Seeing Shi Fuxin in the pavilion, Fan Mingyu was also stunned for a moment, but soon, he thought of the fact that he was released as a pigeon on the Double Ninth Festival, and anger immediately arose in his heart.

Shi Fuxin, you treat me so lightly, do you think I have to be with you?

Fan Mingyu looked sideways at Miss Jin beside him, raised the corners of his mouth, lowered his head slightly, and started talking to her with a smile. When he passed the steps, he even reached out to help him.

Looking at Fan Mingyu and Miss Jin who behaved intimately, the girls from the Shi family were hesitant to speak, but Shi Fuxin looked away after a glance, and there was nothing unusual on her face.

When Fan Mingyu saw Fuxin turned his back directly, the corner of his mouth was pursed, and he became more and more gentle towards Miss Jin.

When Fan Mingyu followed Princess Chengyang into the living room, he cast more eyes on Shi Fuxin's side, accompanied by schadenfreude laughter.

"Let me just say, with such a high family background in the Marquis of Yongchuan, how could it be possible for Shi Fuxin to fall in love with him?"

"Mr. Fan Xiaohou used to think that Shi Fuxin was a novelty for a while, but now he gets tired of getting along for a long time, and still thinks that he should marry a wife who is well-matched."

"Gao Zhi is not so easy to climb. Even if Master Fan is fascinated by beauty, isn't there still Marquis Yongchuan and Princess Chengyang?"

"It's true that stealing chickens is not enough to lose rice. Shi Fuxin and Fan Xiaohou are openly dating. In the future, which son will choose someone who is not wanted to be his wife?"

"Isn't the Shi family used to climbing high branches? A regular wife can't do it, but she can be a concubine. Isn't the Seventh Prince only accepting a girl from the Shi family?"

Hearing these words, the girls of the Shi family were very angry, but it was not easy to go forward and directly argue with others to make things worse, and all of them had gloomy faces.

Shi Fuxin glanced at the girls who spoke mean words, and said to Xiaofang: "Go and find out whose family they all belong to."

It is common for girls to quarrel, but it is still rare for them to attack their lives without any scruples like today. It is obvious that someone is trying to discredit her.

Unexpectedly, the girl from the Shi family would also be pointed out and discussed, so Shi Fuxin got up and left the pavilion, wandering around the garden of the Hou Mansion.

After walking around for a while, I saw Fan Mingyu.

When Shi Fuxin saw it, she turned around and left.

"etc."

Fan Mingyu trotted forward and stopped in front of Shi Fuxin: "Sixth sister, is that why you don't want to see me?"

Shi Fuxin didn't blame him for everyone's pointers and discussions, but said: "To avoid suspicion, I don't think we should meet again."

Fan Mingyu suppressed all the emotions in his heart, and looked at Shi Fuxin: "Sixth sister, you were the one who approached me on the initiative, and I fell in love with you. You just denied everything because you were not suitable. Is this fair to me?"

"I wrote to ask you out, trying to make things clear, but you didn't even reply me a word, and made me wait for a whole day. Let me ask you, have you always been playing tricks on me?"

Shi Fuxin frowned: "Letter? When did you write me a letter?"

Fan Mingyu sneered: "Is the sixth girl so forgetful? It was the Double Ninth Festival last month."

Seeing the excited Fan Mingyu, Shi Fuxin glanced at Xiaofang, who immediately stepped back and watched her surroundings vigilantly from a distance.

Shi Fuxin looked at Fan Mingyu: "What do you want to say to me, just tell me, I'll listen."

Seeing this, Fan Mingyu vented his anger: "We get along very well, why is it inappropriate?"

Shi Fuxin didn't answer, but just asked: "Do you know what your mother did to my mother on the day of Princess Qingyang's banquet?"

Fan Mingyu's expression froze.

Shi Fuxin saw it: "It seems that I know it. Under such circumstances, do you think there is still a possibility for me and you?"

Seeing that Fan Mingyu opened his mouth and was about to answer, Shi Fuxin stopped him: "Let me ask you, what are you going to do if your mother always disagrees with me and you?"

Fan Mingyu: "I will keep begging her until she agrees."

Shi Fuxin laughed: "So, you are ready to completely hand over the matter between me and you to your mother. If your mother agrees, everyone will be happy, but if your mother disagrees, do you have any ideas?" How will it affect me?"

Fan Mingyu didn't understand Shi Fuxin's meaning: "I said I would ask my mother to agree."

Shi Fuxin: "There are no absolutes in everything, Fan Mingyu, whether your mother agrees or not, it will not have any impact on you, but what about me?"

"Did you hear the gossip from the female relatives?"

"Not only me, but also the reputations of other girls in the Shi family have been affected."

"Fan Mingyu, I don't know how you define marriage, but in my case, being with someone makes me better, so I can choose him."

"I'm with you, and you've seen it too. What I got was that my mother was humiliated, and the reputation of the Shi family girl and I was damaged. Tell me, can I still be with you?"

Fan Mingyu looked at Shi Fuxin in a daze: "Could it be that you were never happy when I was with you?"

Shi Fuxin looked at him: "The happiness you give me, others can give it too."

"Fan Mingyu, do you know what I want most from you?"

"I'm with you, the identity gap is real, maybe you don't realize it yourself, you look down on me and my family in your heart."

Fan Mingyu vehemently denied: "I didn't."

Shi Fuxin smiled and said: "Really, then why did you do nothing when your mother insulted my mother? When I talked about it today, you didn't even apologize."

"Deep in your heart, you think that your mother can humiliate my mother."

Fan Mingyu was stunned: "I"

Shi Fuxin: "I want your equal respect, not to give me some cheap gifts. I can buy those gifts myself, and others can also give them to me."

"Fan Mingyu, let's get acquainted for a while, let's get together and break up, okay?"

Fan Mingyu looked at Shi Fuxin: "If I change it"

Shi Fuxin shook her head: "You can't change, because this is you, just like I can't change, because this is me. If two people are together, if you need to force yourself to change, it will be very painful."

"Fan Mingyu, you are fine, really, it's just that you and I are not suitable."
