Poor Family

Chapter 302, Burning the token

Because Princess Chengyang and Princess Qingyang fell down in public, the banquet could only be hastily ended, and by the time Jin Yue'e changed into her dresses and came out, most of the people had almost left.

At the gate of the princess mansion, the family members of the Shi family were getting into the carriage. At this moment, Fan Mingyu hurried over on a horse.

Fan Mingyu stopped in front of the princess mansion, and when he got off his horse, he looked towards the family members of the Shi family and saw that Shi Fuxin got into the carriage without even looking at him, pursed his lips, and quickly walked into the princess mansion.

"Mother, you didn't see how embarrassed Princess Qingyang and Princess Chengyang were just now. After today, the women's family circle must be full of discussions about them, directly overshadowing all gossip."

In the carriage, Shi Fuxin deliberately gloated about the two princesses falling down.

Knowing that her daughter was comforting herself, Jin Yue'e said with a wry smile: "Mother is not afraid of losing face, but she is afraid of hurting the four of you, especially you and Jiulang. The marriage has not yet been decided."

Shi Fuxin smiled and took Jin Yue'e's arm, and leaned on her shoulder: "No way, mother is the best, only those who have no eyesight don't know how good mother is."

Jin Yuee sighed: "Princess Chengyang's attitude, you and Mingyu... I'm afraid it's really impossible."

Shi Fuxin lowered her eyes: "No matter what Princess Chengyang's attitude is, there is no chance for Fan Mingyu and I. I have packed up the things that Fan Mingyu gave me, and I will find a chance to return them to him."

After returning to the uncle's mansion, Shi Fuxin sent Jin Yue'e back to Yigui Courtyard, talked with her for a while, and then returned to Lanyue Tower.

Looking at the empty eaves, Fuxin came to the side room, looked at all kinds of gadgets piled up together, and reached out to pick up the lotus lantern that Fan Mingyu gave her during the Lantern Festival.

"Many people and many things are beautiful at first sight, but after getting in touch with them, they become a bit tasteless."

Shi Fuxin put the lotus lantern back, turned around and told Xiaofang: "Move these things to the carriage, and I will return them to Fan Mingyu tomorrow morning."

Xiaofang hesitated: "Girl, does it have to be like this? In this way, you and the young master will have absolutely no room for change."

Shi Fuxin laughed: "Let's not talk about whether Fan Mingyu and I are compatible, but with Princess Chengyang's attitude towards mother today, there is no possibility for me and him."

She got married to live a happier and happier life based on the original life, not to say goodbye to the original life.

Obviously, the happiest and happiest thing in her life for the past ten years or so is to have a family where everything is directed towards her.

After hearing this, Xiaofang stopped talking and turned around to do things.

The next day, Shi Fuxin really took the things that Fan Mingyu gave her to the Yongchuan Hou Mansion.

Yongchuan Hou Mansion.

Princess Chengyang didn't sleep well all night because of her public embarrassment at Princess Qingyang's mansion yesterday, and she was not in the mood to eat breakfast. When the servants were silent, the girl from the Jin family came.

After all, it was the future daughter-in-law candidate that he was optimistic about. After the Jin family girl deliberately tried to please and persuade her, Princess Chengyang's face was not so ugly.

Just as the maids breathed a sigh of relief, the porter came to report that the sixth girl of the Shi family had come and wanted to see the young master.

When Princess Chengyang heard Shi Fuxin's name, she immediately became furious, thinking that she was here to apologize to Fan Mingyu, so she said directly:

"Go, tell that girl, if she still has a bit of a girl's reserve, she shouldn't always come to seduce Mingyu. Yongchuan Hou's Mansion is not a place she can enter casually."

The concierge was about to take orders to leave, but was stopped by the Jin family girl.

Princess Chengyang disliked others not listening to her the most. Seeing the girl from the Jin family obstructing her, she immediately frowned.

When Miss Jin saw it, she quickly explained: "Princess, Shaozhen didn't mean to be against you, but she just thought that the girl from the Shi family can't always be so entangled with the young master. You just don't let her enter the Hou's mansion." , she can still meet the young master in other places."

Seeing that Princess Chengyang's complexion gradually improved, she thought about it again, "Why don't you listen to the princess first to hear what happened when the girl came to see the young master? Then you can come up with a targeted solution."

Princess Chengyang was silent, looking at the person by the door: "Did that girl say anything?"

The concierge: "It is said that it is the gift that the young master gave her before."

Hearing this, Princess Cheng Yang stood up suddenly: "This girl is really shameless!" Thinking that Fan Mingyu is not in the mansion now, she immediately walked out.

The girl from the Jin family saw her and hurriedly followed.

At the gate of the Hou's mansion, Shi Fuxin waited for a while, seeing that no one in the mansion had come out to answer for a long time, and was hesitating whether to leave, when she saw the girl from the Jin family walking out aggressively, supporting Princess Chengyang.

"I heard that you came to return the things my son gave you?"

Princess Chengyang looked at Shi Fuxin coldly.

Shi Fuxin: "You don't get paid for nothing. At the beginning, I was greedy and accepted the gift from the young master. Now that I think about it, I really shouldn't. Therefore, I came here to return it."

Cheng Yang sneered: "You are really greedy."

Shi Fuxin frowned, but still held back her breath and said, "I don't know if Young Master is here, but he gave this thing, I want to return it to him personally."

Princess Chengyang sneered: "In front of this princess, you should use less of your unsightly methods." As he spoke, he glanced contemptuously at the box on the ground.

"They're all messy junk. The children of my servants don't play with them."

"I thought Mingyu was fascinated by goblins before, but now it seems that he is quite clear-headed and knows what kind of person deserves what kind of thing."

As he spoke, he lovingly took the golden girl's hand, and directly put the jade bracelet on the golden girl's wrist.

"Like Miss Jin, whenever our family gives her things, they are precious things like gold, silver and jewelry."

"Sure enough, in my Mingyu's heart, I still know that stuff is just stuff after all."

Hearing Princess Cheng Yang's accusations and scolding Huai, Shi Fuxin was not very angry, but felt that breaking up with Fan Mingyu was absolutely right.

Before, she thought that people have weaknesses and needs. As long as you do what you like, there is no one you can't win, so she thought about getting Fan Mingyu first and then his parents.

But thinking about it now, even if she could persuade Princess Chengyang to agree with her and Fan Mingyu, living with someone like Princess Chengyang for a long time would definitely be a very tortured thing.

"I returned the things and left."

Shi Fuxin didn't bother to do superficial work anymore, so she just turned around and left. As soon as one foot stepped into the carriage, she heard Princess Chengyang say: "What are you doing with a bunch of rags? I'll burn them for this princess, so they don't get dirty." on the way to the Hou Mansion."

Shi Fuxin got into the carriage straight away.

The carriage drove past the gate of the Hou Mansion, the curtain was blown up, Shi Fuxin happened to see the lotus lantern being lit, and then other things were also quickly submerged in the sea of ​​flames.

In front of the gate of the Hou Mansion, the Jin family girl's eyes were shining, and through the blazing fire, she could clearly see Shi Fuxin's dark and gloomy face in the carriage.

The things that the little duke gave her were burned, which meant that the previous affairs between her and the little duke were blown away.

After all, Shi Fuxin is just a passer-by in the life of the young master, and she is the one who will truly accompany the young master throughout his life.

The things were burned, and Shi Fuxin didn't know if Fan Mingyu knew that she had returned the things he gave her. After that day, she never paid attention to the affairs of the Yongchuan Hou Mansion.

Time passed quickly, and it was September in a blink of an eye.

As soon as September entered, a major event happened in the court.

The food and salaries of the soldiers guarding the border in Liaodong were embezzled, so that many soldiers started to make a fuss.

Just as the imperial court was anxious to appease the Liaodong soldiers, there was another urgent military situation from Tonggu Pass.

The Beiyan army besieged Tonggu Pass several times, causing heavy casualties at Tonggu Pass and urgently needed support.

The day before the Double Ninth Festival, after Shi Dinghao came back from his business trip in the palace, he went straight to Lanyue Tower to look for Shi Fuxin: "Sister, something might happen to Master Ye."

Shi Fuxin poured tea for her younger brother: "Speak slowly."

Shi Dinghao: "Today, when the emperor was reading the report on the battle at Tonggu Pass, I took a sneak peek. Last month, Tonggu Pass was attacked several times by Beiyan's army. Not only were there heavy casualties, but there was no food left."

Shi Fuxin: "What is uneaten?"

Shi Dinghao said in a deep voice: "The food and payment of Tongguguan has been deducted."

Shi Fuxin's eyes sank: "The battle at Tonggu Pass is urgent, who dares to withhold food and pay at this time?"

Shi Dinghao sighed: "I'm afraid it was done by those who have a grudge against Master Ye. If something happens to Tonggu Pass, Master Ye, the general, will definitely be blamed."

Shi Fuxin slapped the table with her palm: "How can personal grievances be put before national interests? Those people are really wearing those official uniforms for nothing!"

Shi Dinghao frowned: "Governor Huaiyuan asked the Ministry of Households to allocate food and salaries, but the Secretary of the Ministry of Households said that the raised rations and salaries would be sent to the Liaodong Border Gate, and Governor Huaiyuan must first think of a way."

Having said that, I couldn't help but sneered.

"Tonggu Pass is still holding a cane, but let Governor Huaiyuan figure out his own way. When Governor Huaiyuan raises food and salaries, I don't know if the year of the monkey is over. At that time, whose fault is it that Tonggu Pass can't be guarded?"

"Governor Huaiyuan is a member of the Prince's party. If Tonggu Pass is really going to fall, Governor Huaiyuan will probably be withdrawn. It must be a big loss for the Prince."

Shi Fuxin rubbed her forehead: "It's not enough for those people to play tricks in the capital, they even went to the border." After thinking about it, "I'll send a letter to Fei Ge, the manager in Huaiyuan, and let him Pay more attention to the situation at Tonggu Pass."

After sending the letter, Shi Fuxin and Shi Dinghao left the house together.

The treasures in the back mountain of Xiangguo Temple were also buried. If the imperial court really wanted to ignore Tonggu Pass, they would use the gold and silver there to buy food and send it there.

However, this matter must be arranged carefully, so that no one can find any clues.

Not long after the siblings went out, Shi Yuhua came to the uncle's mansion, and when he arrived at the door, he happened to meet a servant from the Yongchuan Hou mansion to deliver a letter.

"Whose letter is this?"

"It was given to Miss Six by Master Fan Xiaohou."

When Shi Yuhua heard this, his eyes flickered, and then he stretched out his hand to the concierge: "Give me the letter, and I'll take it to Sister Xin."

The porter didn't suspect him, and directly handed the letter to Shi Yuhua.

After receiving the letter, Shi Yuhua entered the gate of the mansion, and when he walked through the corridor in front of the Chuihua Gate, seeing no one around, he directly handed the letter to the maid behind him.

"Put the letter away so that no one will know."

The servant girl was stunned: "But the concierge."

Shi Yuhua smiled: "When I leave later, I will say that I dropped the letter into the pond. The porter is afraid of being punished, so he won't tell it after warning."

The maid hurriedly put the letter into her bosom.

When Shi Yuhua saw it, a gleam of coldness flashed across his eyes.

That girl Shi Fuxin, how could He De be able to marry into the Yongchuan Hou Mansion!
