This scandal at the Shen family banquet was not spread out. However, the so-called "circulation" is only among the people. As for the aristocratic family, they have always been inextricably linked. This lady told the lady as a joke, but it was actually spread early in private. And Mrs. Shen's self-conscious remarks also drove herself to a dead end. If she didn't do what she said, it would be a slap in the face. If she did what she said and lost the best grandson, how could it be so easy to be reconciled.
But because of this, the big room and the old lady Shen were completely deadlocked. Originally, it was just the alienation of the second and third rooms, but Old Madam Shen's subtle attitude at the family banquet finally made Luo Xueyan and Shen Xin feel like they were stuck in their throats. .
After Shen Yuan and Jing Chuchu woke up, Jing Chuchu naturally cried again, only saying that she was dragged in by Shen Yuan. Shen Yuan was furious, saying that he fainted without knowing what was going on, and when he woke up, he was already lying with Jing Chuchu. He couldn't remember these things, maybe Jing Chuchu was still perfect.
However, it doesn't matter whether Jing Chuchu is perfect or not. In front of so many noble ladies, Jing Chuchu's second half of his life will be over.
Maybe they were stimulated by this incident, or maybe it was for other reasons, the Jing family brothers and sisters changed their past gentleness and submissiveness, and they insisted on Shen Yuan to explain to themselves. And the old lady Shen also said earlier that if it was Shen Qiu, she would be the first young lady of the Shen residence, but now she has become Shen Yuan, so naturally, Jing Chuchu should become the second young lady of the Shen residence.
Old Shen Furen's abacus is so clever, how could such a thing happen. Shen Yuan was her best grandson, but she wanted to marry a girl from a small family, so she immediately found some excuses to refuse. Jing Guansheng looked at Siswenwen, but he was very shrewd in his bones. Without saying a word, he would bring Jingchuchu to the officials and send a letter from his family back to Suzhou. The people on the other side of Suzhou heard it and were angry that Mrs. Shen did not agree. Pai, with his people, was about to go to Dingjing to discuss the explanation, but it was actually going to be spent with the Shen family.
The original alliance broke down at once, and Madam Shen spent all day in the mansion scolding the two brothers and sisters Jing Guansheng for being white-eyed. Shen Yuan was also very annoyed, but this matter was too big to kill Jing Chuchu directly, so many ladies were watching, and once something happened to Jing Chuchu, everyone would suspect him. Moreover, the Jing family is not a fuel-efficient lamp.
No matter what the fuss was like outside, the west courtyard of the Shen residence was closed, and everyone was still happy. Shen Qiu did not get drunk when he was in Japan, but Shen Miao made him pretend to be drunk, as for why Shen Yuan and Jing Chu Chu got together later, Shen Qiu did not know the reason. Although Shen Miao refused to tell him and threatened him not to tell the Shen Xin couple, Shen Qiu could vaguely guess what was going on, and when he returned to the mansion, even Rong Jingtang would not take any further steps.
Inside the room, Shen Miao sat at the table and wrote the recipe for the kitchen. It is impossible for Jing Chuchu to curry favor with the big house now. Therefore, she did not need to go to the sword practice field to watch every day, but Shen Xin and all the soldiers were eagerly looking forward to the dim sum soup made by Shen Miao, Shen Miao was too lazy to make it herself, so she wrote some recipes and gave them to the kitchen. As a result, she was praised every day, and those little soldiers respected her even more than Shen Qiu.
Luo Xueyan also asked, "When did Jiaojiao know so many recipes? Could it be that she is interested in cooking?"
Shen Miao dealt with the past vaguely. She is not the kind of docile woman who is willing to wash her hands and make soup, but in a previous life, in order to please many people, she also condescended to ask the royal chef to teach some dishes. It's just that no matter how well she did before, the people who were flattered were never moved by it. On the contrary, now, Shen Miao shook her head, which roughly means that there is a difference between pleasing and pleasing beasts, some people know how to be grateful, and some people will only retaliate.
Bai Lu picked up the paper that Shen Miao had written and hung it to dry, then got up and sent it to the small kitchen. Right now, the West Court eats and does not eat with the East Court, and directly opens a small kitchen. This kind of behavior obviously does not trust the East Court.
“I heard that the young master Biao has quarreled with the old lady again today.” Jing Zhe helped Shen Miao to clean up the paper and ink on the table and said, “It seems that the Jing family is already on the way, the old lady seems to be unable to delay. Get down, be in a hurry."
“Everything that needs to be said has been said.” Shen Miao picked up her tea and took a sip, “Cousin is a smart person, so he cannot be taken advantage of in vain.”
"Young Master Biao is really ruthless." Gu Yu also said, "Right now, I have been threatening to report to the official, knowing that the Second Young Master will return to Beijing to take up his post. If this is reported to the official, the Second Young Master's official career will be ruined. , this time, the second young master will have to marry the young lady. This is thanks to the old lady's obedience to the old grandfather's family instructions." At the end, the tail tone couldn't help but float high, suppressing the joy in her heart.
Old Shen Furen's behavior makes people feel sick, and now she shoots herself in the foot, why can't it make people happy
"However..." Jing Zhe asked, "What's the good of Miss Biao trying so hard to marry the second young master? The old lady and her have torn their faces, and the second young master is not happy, even if she is married to the mansion, she will not be able to do so. Will be loving. Isn't Miss Biao looking for guilt for herself? "
Shen Miao smiled slightly, "Jing Chuchu married not a person, but money. If so, what is the difference between like it or not, loving or not?" Jing Chuchu married Shen Qiu in her previous life, and Shen Qiu treated her well. But she did not harm Shen Qiu to such a degree in the end. For Jing Chuchu, as long as he can climb up, it doesn't matter who the other party is.
"Speaking of which," Gu Yu curled his lips, "Miss Biao wanted to harm the eldest young master, but it's really unpleasant to let her marry in such a good manner. After all, this matter all started because of her, no matter how evil people are, there is no evil. report?"
Shen Miao opened the window, looked out the window and said, "Do you think this is over?"
Gu Yu's eyes lit up, "Young lady still has one hand?" The longer she stayed with Shen Miao, the more she knew about Shen Miao's methods, Gu Yu was no longer surprised. If it was in the past, she would probably have been surprised by Shen Miao's coldness and viciousness, but after going through things one after another, she really didn't have any goodwill towards the other two people in the Shen residence, those so-called sympathy and pity were long gone. And fly.
“Let them be dumb to eat Huanglian is just the beginning,” Shen Miao said, “Jing Chuchu plotted the elder brother first, did she think that she would be able to escape?”
Jing Zhe and Gu Yu looked at Shen Miao with glittering eyes, Shen Miao waved her hand, "Go and settle the money for Fu'er first."
Mrs. Shen was busy dealing with the two siblings, Jing Chuchu and Jing Guansheng, and she didn't care to find out the truth about why they changed people at the end of the family banquet. Sooner or later, Fu'er was going to be married to the one-eyed dragon son of the steward, and if she was given some more money, she would try to help her escape from the Shen residence.
Gu Yu found the silver and said with a smile, "My servant understands, the maid next to Miss Biao should also send a portion of the silver, right?"
Shen Miao nodded with satisfaction: "Not bad."
The most painful bite is the dog that is kept by your side. Just like the little plums in the previous life.
It doesn't matter if she has suffered losses in this regard, and the lessons she has learned can also be used for others.
…
Five days later, the news of Shen Yuan and Jing Chuchu getting married spread throughout the Ding capital.
Shen Yuan, as the most outstanding young master in the Shen residence other than Shen Qiu, had just returned to Beijing after a few years of experience and had just returned to his post in Beijing. What was waiting for him was a great future. There are also good-looking girls in the Ding capital. If you choose carefully, it is not difficult to find a wife who can help him.
But the last choice was a girl from Suzhou who went out of the house in vain. Even if it was the family of Mrs. Shen's mother, if it were another mistress, they would definitely not let such a poor and white person become a young lady in a high-ranking family.
When things go wrong, there must be demons, and who can not know about the idea of Dingjing. There was a lot of excitement in private, the reason why Shen Yuan married the girl of the Jing family was because she slept with the girl of the Jing family while he was drunk. And this Jing family is not a fuel-efficient lamp. They keep saying that they are going to report to the official. It is better to marry a poor and white girl than to lose their official hat by the imperial censor. Shen Yuan was forced to a dead end before he made this decision.
This matter was regarded as a joke and circulated in the circle of nobles. For several days, Shen Gui went to court with the eyes of his colleagues watching the joke, not to mention Shen Yuan.
Naturally, their reputation was greatly damaged because of this, but for Jing Chuchu, it had nothing to do with it. She sat in the room, bored and tasted snacks.
After tearing his face off with Old Madam Shen, the obedience and gentleness that Jing Chuchu had been holding at the beginning were all gone, revealing his true nature. She grabbed Shen Yuan's weakness and ate and used the things from the Shen residence, and she lived a very comfortable life.
Beside her, it was her personal maid Taoyuan who was cleaning up the house. Jing Chu Chu did not trust the people in the Shen residence, and now everything is left to Taoyuan alone. Taoyuan said: "It seems that the master and his wife will arrive soon. By then, the young lady's marriage will be lively and lively, and it will be passed back to Suzhou. It will be very beautiful."
Jing Chuchu smiled: "It's not worth my hard work."
"But..." Taoyuan was a little worried: "The second young master of the Shen family and the old lady treat the young lady so badly. In the future, if the young lady gets married, what if they bully the young lady?"
"What are you afraid of?" Jing Chuchu opened the box of rouge in front of him and looked at it, and said, "I have already inquired about it. The second cousin is dead, and the second cousin is crazy now and can't take charge of the overall situation. There is only one aunt in the second room. One aunt I can't always get involved in the affairs of my son-in-law's room. As for my cousin, I don't stay in the house every day. When I was alone in the second-room courtyard, I could do whatever I wanted, and I was very free. It's more comfortable than marrying into a big house."
"Having said that," Taoyuan shook his head: "But if the second young master marries more concubines in the future, he will come back to make things difficult for the young lady..."
"It's all up to you." Jing Chuchu looked at Taoyuan and said in a charitable manner: "You have been by my side for the past few years, and I have seen you being loyal and handsome. There is a day when I will So let the second cousin accept you, and you win him over for me, which is also a reward for my loyalty to you." She smiled satisfied: "Not everyone has such a blessing to change from a maid to a aunt of a big family. ."
Taoyuan lowered her head and said quickly: "Slave... This slave listens to the lady's words."
Jing Chuchu closed the rouge, and his eyes fell on the bracelet in front of the dressing table. He couldn't help but pick it up and looked a little dazed. Seeing this, Taoyuan said in surprise, "Isn't this... the bracelet Sun Gongzi gave to the young lady?"
"Master Sun..." Jing Chuchu murmured, his expression a little erratic.
"Speaking of which, Young Master Sun treats Miss so well," Taoyuan smiled, "I don't know how sad it will be to hear the news of Miss's engagement."
"What nonsense are you talking about?" Jing Chuchu's eyebrows stood upright, interrupting Taoyuan's words. Taoyuan said unconvinced: "The slave is not wrong. Although Sun Gongzi and the young lady haven't seen each other much, but they hit it off together, and he took care to give the young lady something, which shows that he really put the young lady on the top of his heart. If it weren't for the second young master. It's a matter of fact, Sun Gongzi will definitely find a way to marry the young lady!"
Jing Chuchu was stunned for a moment, and there was a blush on his face. He shook his head and said, "How could a person with such a wealthy family in Shangshu's mansion marry someone like me who has left the house in vain?"
"But Sun Gongzi really loves the young lady." Taoyuan's words were a little blunt, but saying that, Jing Chuchu was not angry, but seemed a little happy. Taoyuan continued: "It would be great if the grandson of the Jing family became the uncle of the Jing family. Compared with the second young master, the grandson would love the young lady like a jewel. If he married, the grandson would also hold the young lady in the palm of his hand."
"Don't talk about it." Jing Chuchu suddenly interrupted her: "Since I have chosen the Shen family, it is meaningless to talk about the grandson of the grandson." As he spoke, he was still a little sentimental.
Shen Yuan and Jing Chuchu were not very enthusiastic at first, and because of the previous incident, they were in a mutually hostile position with Jing Chuchu. At this time, once the comparison is made, the more I think of Sun Cainan's goodness. Sun Cainan is a talented person, he is generous, and he is even more gentle and considerate towards her. Besides, people are always obsessed with things they can't get. Taoyuan's words are like ants crawling through Jingchuchu's heart, itching and itching.
"Miss..." Taoyuan hesitated for a moment: "Miss, why don't you go and meet Sun Gongzi. Sun Gongzi knows about this, but he doesn't know the inside story. If you misunderstand you, it will be bad. If you talk about it, you will only feel bad for you. It's rare in a person's life to meet such a good person as grandson grandson. If you do this, grandson grandson must be very sad." Taoyuan said: "When we met last time, grandson sun also said that he would give miss that dragonfly gem hairpin. ."
Hearing this, Jing Chuchu's eyes moved. What impressed Sun Cainan most was the constant flow of gifts. For Jing Chuchu, this is enough. If she married Shen Yuan, Sun Cainan would still be obsessed with herself, and her vanity would be greatly satisfied.
It seems that after thinking for a while, Jing Chuchu said with determination: "What you said also makes sense, I should explain it to him."
"But the young lady has a marriage contract with the second young master now, and this matter cannot be seen by outsiders." Taoyuan said: "It's better to leave it to the slave, the slave will find a place where no one is. Miss Jieshi and Sun Gongzi said clearly, It didn't fail him."
Jing Chuchu nodded.
…
Shen Yuan strode into the yard with blue veins throbbing on his forehead.
These days, every day is under the strange eyes of everyone. In fact, it wasn't that others couldn't see that Shen Yuan was being tricked. At least someone's daughter fell asleep while drunk. It wasn't the first time in the Ding capital. What everyone cares about is that a young talent like Shen Yuan would be planted in such a simple and direct method as a woman in the back house
In particular, this time, it seems that it has nothing to do with the Shen family's straw-bread daughter.
Although Fu Xiu Yi did not accuse him, his attitude towards him has also softened a lot these days. It's very simple, now Shen Yuan is Fu Xiu Yi's secret confidant, but one day, Shen Yuan will stand on the bright side. But with such a blemish, even Fu Xiu Yi's face didn't look good. For someone like Fu Xiu Yi who strives for perfection, Shen Yuan's mistake this time was really annoying.
Shen Yuan himself was very aggrieved, and after being watched as a joke, he had to marry Jing Chuchu, a woman who had nothing to show for it. Everyone knows that Jing Chuchu is a vulgar and small family girl who only looks at money and does not recognize people, but he wants to marry such a woman as his wife. Even if someone from the official family looks at him in the future, he will not marry and be ridiculed by others.
He took a deep breath and stared at the person walking towards him.
Shen Miao and the two maids walked over from the garden side, these days, she stayed in the west courtyard and did not go out, even though the second room was turned upside down and indifferent, she seemed much refreshed.
Seeing Shen Yuan, she stopped and said, "Second brother."
Shen Yuan clenched his fists uncontrollably, since the Jing Chu Chu incident, Shen Miao and him have not met. Shen Yuan naturally knew that Shen Miao was the only person in the Shen residence who could do such a thing, but at the beginning, the matter was done by the person who explained it to the old lady and he could not interfere. And what's more important than the accountability at the moment is to appease the difficult people of the Jing family.
But thinking about being in such an embarrassing situation, all thanks to the girl in front of him, Shen Yuan could not wait to strangle Shen Miao in front of him.
Seeing that Shen Yuan did not speak, Shen Miao laughed to herself, "Speaking of which, the second brother and cousin are engaged, I haven't said congratulations yet, congratulations to you, second brother, you have returned with a beautiful hug."
Anyone could hear the sarcasm in her words.
Shen Yuan said coldly, "Thank you Fifth Younger Sister." After a pause, he looked at Shen Miao again, "Fifth Younger Sister is very capable."
Shen Miao accepted Shi Shi Ran, every time she showed a happy face, it made people go crazy, Shen Yuan sneered: "Fifth younger sister, Mu Xiu will be destroyed by Lin Feng, it is better to understand this principle earlier. "
“I never thought that I was good-looking in the forest, everyone knows that I am a scumbag.” Shen Miao pondered, “On the contrary, the second brother is naturally excellent, the wind wants to urge it, and it is probably not me.”
"Really?" Shen Yuan asked slowly: "The fifth sister now thinks that she has all the strength in her chest? Do you think that I am married to Jing Chuchu, and I will lose this game?"
“How could it be?” Shen Miao said very modestly, “I know that the second brother is tenacious, tenacious and indomitable, these little troubles will definitely not be taken into account by the second brother. It is still too early for the end of the chess game.”
"Maybe it's not as early as you think." Shen Yuan suddenly smiled strangely: "Maybe it will be over soon." This strange smile fell on his face, making him look particularly sinister. Jing Zhe and Gu Yu both frowned, but saw Shen Miao raised her eyebrows and asked, "Second brother wants to plot against me again?"
"Are you afraid?"
Shen Miao nodded, "I am not afraid of being plotted against me, I am afraid that others will not plot against me." Her eyes were clear and innocent like a child's, she smiled, "If others do not plot against me, how can I have a chance?"
"Then you can ask for more happiness." Shen Yuan sneered: "I'm afraid that on that day, you can still laugh so happily." After that, he strode away.
After he left, the smile on Shen Miao’s face disappeared without a trace, Jing Zhe and Gu Yu were shocked when they saw it, Gu Yu asked, “Miss, what’s wrong with Second Young Master?”
Shen Miao shook her head, Shen Yuan, if he was not sure, would not have said those words. But what was it that made him feel that Shen Miao didn't even have a chance to turn over? There was some unease in my heart, and she was quickly suppressed by her. Shen Miao looked at Shen Yuan's back and said softly, "The chess game is still very early, but the chess game is almost over."
…
In the Baoxiang Tower in the Ding capital, the singing and dancing are peaceful, the silk and bamboo are curling, and the fragrance of a woman accompanied by laughter is like the best love potion, which attracts passers-by to look in frequently. It's just that his eyes are full of longing and envy, but his pockets are shy, and he can't stage the drama of spending a lot of money for the beauty.
In the small building, in the tea room, the tea in front of the table had already cooled down overnight. The guard in front of him took a nap and almost knocked over the teapot. He was so startled that his drowsiness was completely wiped out, and his toes turned up. on the table.
Mo Qing secretly breathed a sigh of relief in his heart. The most inconspicuous cup in the Baoxiang Tower was also made by a good craftsman, and if it was broken, it would cost money. Although Shen Miao gave him a lot of bank notes, those bank notes were only used to find a girl and not used to lose money.
The applause of "crack, clap, clap" sounded, and the beauty on the bed stared at this scene coldly and complimented: "Good kung fu and martial arts are really eye-opening."
Mo Qing didn't open his eyes, didn't look at the woman's bare shoulders, looked at the sun outside the window and was overjoyed, the sun came out, the night has passed, and it can be relaxed for three days. Thinking about it, there was a trace of relaxed joy on his face, and he stood up and left.
He was overjoyed, but someone was stunned by the happy and pretty face on his face. Before he could stand up, Liu Ying sat down opposite him and said, "Mr. Mo."
Mo Qing looked at each other expressionlessly.
Liuying looked him up and down, Mo Qing came to Baoxianglou to order Miss Liuying, it has been more than a month, and once every three days, the money is refreshing, but every time Liuying is ordered, he does nothing and sits by the window all night. . At first Liu Ying thought it was just Mo Qing's tricks. She fell into the dust for many years and was taught by her mother since she was a child. She knew that some guests had their own quirks, and this Mo Qing was probably one of those guests who had quirks. . But the number of times is too many, and Liu Ying also finds it strange.
She had tried to tease Mo Qing before, but if she really couldn't do anything but her eyes, she would naturally stay still. However, Mo Qing was always blushing when she was teased, but he still pretended to be serious and indifferent, obviously a boy. However, Mo Qing's martial arts are high, Liu Ying can't get close to him, and she has always been held by men. This is the first time that she has been rushing.
But every time I see Mo Qing's relief in the early morning of the second day, I feel annoyed in my heart. She is not a beast of a flood, why is Mo Qing hiding from her like this
"If Young Master Mo dislikes Liu Ying's unclean body, you can find another girl in Baoxianglou." Liu Ying coldly said with a pretty face, "Every day there will be a New Year's girl, who is very clean, a yellow flower girl. There are also a lot of them, so Young Master Mo doesn’t have to waste money with me, causing people to misunderstand.”
Mo Qing felt embarrassed and didn't look at Liu Ying. The errand that Shen Miao handed him really made him feel like he was on pins and needles, he would rather go to the gate of the Shen residence to watch the night rather than hang around in the place of fireworks.
Seeing that Mo Qing didn't speak, Liu Ying was even more angry, and said: "Young Master Mo, don't come here next time, Liu Ying can't afford Young Master Mo's money, don't do anything with money, don't smash my hard work. The established signboard!" After speaking, he turned his face away and stopped looking at Mo Qing.
Mo Qing touched his nose and felt that it would be useless to say anything. After all, he came here every once in a while to do this kind of thing, not to mention Liu Ying, he himself felt like a fool. Baoxianglou is not a place to drink tea, and in Liu Ying's eyes, it is probably incomprehensible. Without saying anything, Mo Qing put down a piece of silver and went out the door.
After Mo Qing left, Liu Ying's maid came in to sweep the sprinkles. Seeing Liu Ying's displeased eyes, she comforted her, "Don't be angry, girl, Mo Gongzi always takes money." Looking at the silver on the table, Liu Ying even more Huo Da, this money is extra for Liu Ying, so she doesn't have to share it with her mother. She turned her head to look out the window and said angrily, "Who cares!" But she looked at the figure outside the window, Mo Qing pushed the door open and tried to pounce on him, and went out to the far side of the street. .
"Young Master Mo is a good person," the little maid murmured.
"Who knows." Liu Ying was about to withdraw her gaze, but inadvertently swept to the corner of the street. There was a person standing in the shadows, looking up and looking at her, as if looking at her.
She was stunned for a moment, she was too far away to see her appearance, and she could only see a blue shirt falling down, even if there was only a shadow, she looked quite strong.
"Hey," Liu Ying gently shook the fan in her hand: "Is it possible that I have become more beautiful recently? One by one, just looking at me is enough?"
"The girl is so beautiful, there are many people who want to see the girl." The little girl said sweetly.
Liu Ying pouted, "It's all weirdos." She closed the window with one hand.
On the other side of the street, Mo Qing stopped, frowning and staring at the blue shirt in the corner.
The place that person was looking at was Liu Ying’s Xiaozhu, but… Mo Qing’s eyes moved, the man in the blue shirt was very familiar, he remembered that he had met that person once when he followed Shen Miao back to the residence in a carriage. , I heard Jing Zhe say that it is the teacher of Shen Miao Guangwentang.
It seems to be called Pei Lang.
