Poor Family

"Young Master Yao!"

Seeing Chu Yao and his party walking towards them, Mr. Zhao, Fan Feiyu, and Tian Siyuan took the initiative to say hello.

"I said, why is it so familiar? It turns out to be Mr. Zhao!"

Chu Yao looked at Mr. Zhao with a smile, and did not look at Fan Feiyu and Tian Siyuan next to him. He did not hide his attitude towards the three of them, as if only Mr. Zhao could catch his eyes.

"I organized a polo match, since we met, how about Mr. Zhao playing together?"

Mr. Zhao replied with a smile: "Thank you, Mr. Yao, for your kindness. I still have something to do, so I have to go first."

The smile on Chu Yao's face deepened a bit: "It seems that I don't have the face to invite Mr. Zhao, and it is also true that Governor Zhao is now a celebrity around the emperor. Mr. Zhao has been famous since he was a child, and his future is bright. They look down on idlers like us."

As he spoke, he laughed, and without waiting for Mr. Zhao's reaction, he stepped up to the stands. After standing on the stand, he turned his head and squinted at Mr. Zhao below.

"Young Master Zhao, do as you please."

If Chu Yao had been tougher, Mr. Zhao would have left without saying a word, but hearing his light tone at this moment, Mr. Zhao didn't want to leave.

Speaking of this young master Yao, everyone in the imperial city and the inner city probably knows everyone.

Although it is not a good reputation, but the deterrent is full.

At the age of five, he poisoned his eldest brother's meal, and almost killed the prince of Rongjun.

At the age of eight, because of a quarrel with his second brother, he directly smashed his brother's calf with a stone. Fortunately, he was treated in time, otherwise the second son of the county prince's mansion would be crippled.

At the age of ten, he peeped at the maid in his biological father's room and wanted to do something absurd, but was caught by the king of Rongjun on the spot.

Afterwards, it happened from time to time that officials would be beaten if they didn't agree with each other.

These things all show how corrupt this person's moral character is.

It stands to reason that such a person should be hated by people, and should not be able to get along in the imperial city. However, many second-generation ancestors in the imperial city are willing to listen to him.

This sixteen-year-old third son of the royal family is very charismatic in front of a group of second-generation ancestors and dandy children. He will never go west when he points to others. His action and execution ability are comparable to those of a lieutenant.

He heard that in the past few years, the royal family, civil and military officials often criticized his actions. During the siege, he survived the siege and fought his way out, successfully entering the current emperor's palace. Eye, now very favored, often recruited into the palace.

Now when it comes to Young Master Yao, none of the clan members or officials are afraid, even if they are not, in order not to be entangled by him, they will take the initiative to avoid him.

What's more, every time I met him, although this person was always smiling and had a pretty good attitude, he felt a vague pressure.

This person is very confusing and dangerous!

Seeing that Mr. Zhao didn't want to leave, Fan Feiyu on the side hurriedly smoothed things over: "Chengming, although what uncle told me is a bit urgent, Mr. Yao is too difficult to meet. I have heard that Mr. Yao's polo is very good. Very good, why don't we stay and see, and when we go back, I will plead guilty to the uncle's mansion for you."

With the steps, Mr. Zhao immediately said to Chu Yao: "I seldom have the opportunity to play polo at the border. I am grateful to Mr. Yao who thinks highly of it. Then I will stay and gain insights."

After speaking, he returned to the stands with two friends.

Chu Yao leaned lazily on the chair, watching the three of them come back with a half-smile.

Zhao Shengming, a young general with tremendous strength, entered the realm of ninth-rank warrior at the age of twenty. No wonder the emperor valued him so much, but he didn't know if this man was really as powerful as the legends said.

Young Master Zhao saw that his brother was in the stands, and was about to go there, turned around and called Shi Dinghao and Shi Fuxin, and saw Shi Fuxin staring at Chu Yao with bright eyes.

"Hey!"

Young Master Zhao walked directly in front of Shi Fuxin, blocked her view, and said in a low voice, "Chu Yao doesn't like women."

Shi Fuxin's eyes suddenly widened: "He is. He has broken sleeves"

Hearing the word Duanxiu, Young Master Zhao was taken aback, and quickly interrupted Shi Fuxin: "I didn't mean that, I meant that he doesn't like women looking at him lewdly."

Shi Fuxin was speechless: "What nonsense are you talking about? Everyone has a love for beauty. He is good-looking. I just took a second look."

Young Master Zhao: "Even if he is good-looking, you'd better not look at him. The girl from Yong'an Bo's family was kicked into the lake by him in winter just because she looked at him a few more times."

Shi Fuxin showed surprise on her face: "So merciless?"

Young Master Zhao gave a 'cut' sound: "If you expect him to take pity on the fragrance and cherish the jade, it is better to expect the sow to climb the tree."

Listening to Mr. Zhao's analogy, a black line appeared on the top of Shi Fuxin's head.

Young Master Zhao: "I haven't seen the children of the royal family play polo yet, let's go, I'll take you there to learn more."

Of course Shi Fuxin and Shi Dinghao are willing to join in this excitement.

The siblings followed Young Master Zhao and hurried to the stand where Chu Yao and others were.

The three of them were just about to go to the stands when they were stopped by the two young masters.

"The racecourse is cleared, this is not a place for you to stay, leave quickly."

Young Master Zhao paused for a moment, then quickly pointed to Eldest Young Master Zhao on the stand: "That's my brother."

Brother Young Master looked at Young Master Zhao, and reluctantly said: "Then you go up."

Young Master Zhao hurriedly greeted Shi Dinghao and Shi Fuxin to go up.

Unexpectedly, Brother Young Master blocked their way again.

"Who are you two?"

Young Master Zhao: "They belong to the uncle's family in Wuchang."

Brother Young Master thought for a while, but he didn't think of the Wuchang uncle's mansion, so he said impatiently: "What Wuchang uncle's mansion, I haven't heard of it, hurry up and leave."

Young Master Zhao hurriedly said again: "They are my friends."

The young master gave a 'cut' sound: "You can stay because of your brother's face, you are not qualified to bring people up."

Hearing this, Young Master Zhao's face turned red with anger, while Shi Fuxin and Shi Dinghao looked at each other in dismay.

In the eyes of this group of people, he is not even qualified to stay and sit with him.

The movement on their side seemed to be noticed by the people in the stands.

Shi Fuxin saw Chu Yao take a look at them, those eyes were deep, sparkling, and in the starlight, there was a bit of madness and arrogance that scorned everything.

He obviously had a smile on his face, but there was no warmth in his eyes.

It is clearly a pair of affectionate eyes that make people want to fall involuntarily, but it is like a cold pool that freezes people and rejects people thousands of miles away.

With a fluttering sweep, his eyes moved away, revealing their insignificance to the fullest.

Shi Fuxin looked away, not wanting to embarrass Young Master Zhao, so she tugged on his sleeve: "Brother Zhao, we've been out for a long time, it's time to go back."

Young Master Zhao knew that Chu Yao and his group were not something he could offend, so he nodded sullenly: "Okay, don't worry about the winter hunting, I will tell my brother, and I will send someone to tell you as soon as there is news .”

"Then we will wait for your news."

The siblings said goodbye to Young Master Zhao, then turned and left the racecourse.

After coming out, Shi Dinghao sighed unprecedentedly: "Sister, it's really hard to get along in this capital."

Shi Fuxin: "Yes, there are too many noble people."

"Sister, are we going back now?"

"No, let's go find Gan Fanren."

"What are you looking for him for?"

"When I was drawing a map of Beicheng last time, I passed by his house, and I found that his mother's eyes seemed invisible. This guy has a quick mind, is familiar with the capital, and has a little brother who runs errands. If possible, I want him to do things for me. .”

Shi Fuxin and Shi Dinghao didn't take the carriage either, they chose to walk along the alleys with few people, practicing lightness kung fu along the way, and soon left the inner city, and found Gan Fanren in the area of ​​Deshengmen.

"Miss Six, Master Jiu, why are you here?"

Gan Fanren smiled brightly and walked quickly to the two of them.

Shi Fuxin didn't talk nonsense to him, and said straight to the point: "Your mother can't see?"

Gan Fanren didn't expect Shi Fuxin to mention his blind old lady, he was a little puzzled, but he nodded: "Yes."

Shi Fuxin: "Do you want to heal your mother's eyes?"

Gan Fanren's eyes lit up, and he nodded his head fiercely: "I think, I dream about it. My mother embroidered all night and all night to feed me, and she forcibly blinded her eyes."

Most of the money he earns on weekdays is spent on treating his mother's eyes with a doctor. Unfortunately, after so many years of treatment, he still has no complexion.

Shi Fuxin: "If I help you, what will you give in exchange?"

Gan Fanren paused for a moment, and then understood the reason for Shi Fuxin's visit, and immediately looked serious, and said solemnly: "If the girl can help me cure my mother's eyes, my life will be the girl's."

Shi Fuxin smiled: "There's no need to be so serious, we won't kill you, but, you know, when we first came to the capital, we are not very familiar with the people and things here, so we need some help The people we inquired about."

When Gan Fanren heard this, his heart was relieved, and he smiled immediately: "The girl originally wanted me to help you find out the news. It's simple, I just eat this bowl of rice."

Shi Fuxin: "At noon tomorrow, you take your mother to the Ruyi Inn, and I will bring someone to treat her eyes."

Gan Fanren nodded excitedly: "Thank you girl."

Under Gan Fanren's grateful gaze, Shi Fuxin and Shi Dinghao turned and left.

"Sister, why wait until tomorrow to treat Gan Fanrenniang's eyes?"

"Because I don't want to expose my medical skills in front of outsiders, let me tell you, if you come to see Gan Fanren tomorrow, just say that I can't come because of something. After his mother enters the guest room, you will bring Gan Fanren out, and I will sneak in for treatment. fucking eyes"

Afterwards, the siblings didn't hang out outside, and went back to the uncle's house directly. As soon as he returned to the mansion, he heard the servants in the mansion talking about winter hunting.

The siblings asked about it, only to find out that Shi Yuhua and Zeng Yuwei had visited the uncle's mansion today, and they had offered four places, saying that they would take four girls from the mansion to participate in the winter hunting.

After hearing this, Shi Fuxin smiled, and hurried back to Yigui Courtyard.

On the way, Shi Dinghao asked: "Sister, who do you think will go?"

Shi Fuxin shook her head: "I don't know, there won't be me and sister anyway."

Their second aunt expressed her dislike for their family from the first time they met, and after the purse incident, the dislike would probably be even stronger.

As for the Zeng family, huh, the existence of their family is an eyesore to their family, and it's a blessing not to find fault with them. It's really worse than expecting sows to climb trees if they count on their support.

When it was time for dinner, it was decided which four of us would go winter hunting.

The concubine's daughter, the seventh girl is Fulin; the concubine's daughter, the fourth girl is Fuyao; the fifth girl, the second girl is Fuyue;

From this selection, we can clearly see the status of each house in the Shi family, as well as the gap between the concubine's daughter and the concubine's daughter. If there is a good thing in the family, the concubine's daughter will be the first to enjoy it, and the concubine's turn will be the one who has extra.

The four girls were going out to participate in winter hunting, which represented the prestige of the uncle's house. On the second day, Mrs. Shi called the people from Nishang Pavilion to send a large push of Shixin's silk and satin to the house for the four girls to choose.

When Shi Fuxin saw those good-looking materials, her eyes were a little hot, she stepped forward and asked, a piece of material was at least ten taels of silver to start, and she immediately dismissed the idea of ​​wanting to make new clothes with fabric.

Mrs. Shi noticed Shi Fuxin's expression, and said with a smile: "Sister Xin, when you can go out of the mansion to socialize in the future, the mansion will also make new clothes for you."

Shi Fuxin smiled and nodded straight: "Then I must go out more often in the future, so that I can have more new clothes."

Hearing this, everyone in the hall laughed, all laughing at Fu Xin's whimsy and incomprehension.

In recent years, the uncle's mansion has gone out as a guest, and the people who have visited the most are the wives' natal families, and there are very few opportunities to be guests in Beppu.

They are all like this, and Sifang, who has no connections in the capital, will have even less chance.

Sister Xin, this girl, is really brazen.

Mrs. Shi saw everyone's expressions in her eyes, and sighed slightly in her heart. After Mrs. Shi and others had selected the materials and left, she called Aunt An and Aunt Xu to go to the warehouse.

Afterwards, Yiguiyuan received six bolts of flowers of different colors and four bolts of feather satin.

When Shi Fuxin saw it, her eyebrows frowned suddenly: "It's time to make new clothes."

Girls love to be pretty, and Shi Fuyin was also very happy, feeling the materials that Mrs. Shi sent, and said: "These materials are better than those sent by Nishang Pavilion."

Just when Jin Yue'e and her sisters were discussing what style of dress to make, someone from the Zhao family came.

The servant next to Young Master Zhao came, Shi Dinghao saw him, and then came to look for Shi Fuxin in a hurry.

"Sister, the Zhao family agreed to take you and me to participate in winter hunting, and said that my brother and sister want to go, so we can go together."

Shi Fuxin's first reaction after hearing this was to find Mrs. Shi, they were going out, and the mansion wanted to make new clothes for them.

Because the four of Shi Fulin were going to the hunting ground, each got a gorilla felt rabbit fur cloak, and she wanted one especially at that time.

The Zhao family invited Shi Dingxuan's four brothers and sisters to participate in winter hunting, which was beyond the expectation of everyone in the Shi family, even Shi Fuxin and Shi Dinghao were a little surprised.

They talked to Young Master Zhao about this, but they didn't hold out much hope.

After all, they haven't known each other for a long time, so there is no friendship.

Mrs. Shi asked Shi Dinghao, why did the Zhao family take the initiative to invite them to participate in winter hunting?

Shi Dinghao told her about being with Mr. Zhao and Mr. Zhao on the third day of junior high school.

When Chu Yao was mentioned, Shi Fuxin interjected and asked, "Grandmother, do you know what kind of person Chu Yao from Rongjun Palace is?"

"When we saw him at the racetrack that day, Mr. Zhao said he should not be messed with. I want to know why, so I can avoid it in the future."

Mrs. Shi then told the rumors about Chu Yao outside, including that he poisoned his elder brother and coveted his biological father's maid.

Shi Fuxin: "Are these all true?"

Mrs. Shi: "Who knows, the situation in Rongjun Wang's mansion is very complicated. Rongjun Wang married three wives successively. The first two died, and they both left a son for Rongjun Wang. Chu Yao is Rongjun Wang's wife. The third son."

Shi Fuxin: "Three legitimate half-sons, this is complicated enough."
