The General's Mansion in the Ding capital was originally full of flowers, and in the eyes of outsiders, it was only revered. Whenever the General's Mansion is mentioned, what everyone thinks of is the sweat and blood of the mighty general and his horse-riding heroism.
However, since the big house and the Shen family split up two years ago and were removed from the Shen family, the general's residence has rapidly declined at a speed that others can see. Although Shen Gui and Shen Wan tried their best to use their careers to support the former glory of the General's Mansion, it is a pity that the paths of literati and military officers are different. Literati relies on their brains and mouths, and if they want to obtain merits, they will last a long time. Military attachés are different. In a battle, a few heads of enemy heads can be slashed and the people can admire them.
After the decline of the General's Mansion, although it still has a name, it is not as popular as it used to be. In the past few days, it has been easy to attract attention again, but the good things do not go out, and the bad things spread thousands of miles. The most surprising thing is this one. I don't know when, there was a rumor circulating in the market and neighborhood that the third master of the Shen family, Shen Wan, planned to divorce his wife.
Among the three sons of the Shen family, except for Shen Xin, Shen Gui is smooth but too feminine, but he is not very clear about what he does. Shen Wan is different from his second brother. He keeps himself clean and is not too lecherous with women. Although he will play with his colleagues on the scene, he will not cause any mess. I also cherish feathers very much. In the eyes of everyone on weekdays, he is a sophisticated and talented person. If he stays for a few more years, his position will probably get higher and higher.
And those officials' wives also had a good impression of Shen Wan, not for anything else, just because Shen Wan loved his wife and daughter very much, and there was no other woman in the backyard. Those officials' wives inevitably had some bad things in their courtyards, and they were always jealous and envious when they treated Chen Rou Qiu. After all, such a good husband who treated only one person was not something that could be encountered every day.
Who knew that at this juncture, when Shen Yue was already married, Chen Rou Qiu and Shen Wan highlighted the issue of divorce.
It was rumored in the market that people had noses and eyes, so they said: "No, I heard that it is because Mrs. Shen has no children. Look, there is no grandson in Shen's mansion now, so we can't just let it go. Mr. Shen has a room. I won’t say anything about the concubines from the first house. After all, I have had two sons in the past. The third house has never had a son, so it’s no wonder that I’m in a hurry now.”
"Speaking of which, Mr. Shen San has a good career. It's a pity that there is no one who can inherit such a huge family business in the future."
"Then Mrs. Chen is unhappy in her stomach. She couldn't have a son for so many years, and she didn't let her husband take a concubine. It's really rude. Ordinary people don't have such a saying. If I were Mr. Shen San, I would definitely not be able to stand it. of."
"Isn't it even allowed to take a concubine, tsk, such a virtuous and jealous woman has no children, and it is considered unique. Mrs. Shen is really pitiful."
The rumors circulating in the entire Ding capital were all on Shen Wan's side. Chen Rou Qiu was originally a famous talented woman in Ding capital, but she came from a scholarly family and was extremely popular among the noble ladies. But this time, both the common people and the women who flattered or befriended her invariably blamed her. Perhaps it was because Chen Rouqiu lived too happy in front of everyone to make people jealous, but now that happiness has a tendency to burst, everyone will be happy to gloat or fall into trouble.
In the Shen residence, Chen Rouqiu smashed the white porcelain vase in front of him with a "bang", the vase splashed on the ground, and the ground was covered with dregs. Emotions and artistic intentions were both so arrogant that they did not dare to show off, allowing Chen Rouqiu to make such a big noise.
"Shameless and shameless!" Chen Rouqiu screamed, "That adulterer forced me into such a situation, but it was still mine, wasn't it? Ridiculous! Stupid!"
The rumors outside were all against Chen Rouqiu. Chen Rouqiu was self-righteous and always considered herself to be a girl from a scholarly family. Now she was called a jealous shrew without a child, how could she be reconciled
"It must be that bitch talking nonsense outside." Chen Rouqiu gritted her teeth. When she and Shen Wan talked about the divorce letter, she was just angry, and she just wanted to scare Shen Wan. Who knew that this news was spread to everyone in the small streets and alleys for some unknown reason, which almost pushed her and Shen Wan to the point where they couldn't be eased. The most chilling thing was that Shen Wan had never even seen her before.
"It must be that slut who slapped the master!" Chen Rou Qiu's nails were deeply embedded in the palm of her hand. Now the old lady Shen is deliberately smack Chang Zaiqing against her, now Shen Yue has no whereabouts, Shen Wan is bewitched by Chang Zaiqing again, there is no one standing beside her in the huge Shen residence. I am afraid that the entire Ding capital will feel that she is the one who justified the loss. Chen Rou Qiu's heart suddenly felt powerless to fight alone.
"Madam, now that the old lady has given an order, what should I do next?" Huayi finally couldn't help but ask.
Either let Chang Zaiqing enter the door in the name of a concubine, or let Shen Wan give him a letter of divorce, either way, Chen Rouqiu could not accept it. But in the Shen residence, she was indeed powerless.
At this moment, the love for Shen Wan turned into hatred bit by bit, she stood up abruptly, sneered, and said, "How can there be such a cheap thing in the world? The Shen family insulted me, do I have to stop it? I want to go back to Chen's house!"
…
Chen Rouqiu returned to her mother's house.
The Chen family master was a county official, and he was originally in charge of repairing the large and small documents in the Ming Qi Palace. Because he was a clerk and had extensive knowledge of books, Chen Rouqiu had always regarded himself as a scholarly family. Moreover, when Master Chen was young, he was indeed a dynasty Jie Yuan, and he was quite capable.
Chen Rouqiu's marriage to Shen Wan also preserved the meaning of the marriage between the Chen family and the Shen family. Of course, it was Shen Wan who chose Chen Rouqiu at the beginning. Although Master Chen is not a person who protects his shortcomings, he pays great attention to the family's reputation, especially his arrogant style is almost the same as Chen Rou Qiu's. Therefore, Chen Rouqiu was divorced or gained a reputation for being jealous, Master Chen must be unhappy in his heart. The Chen family and the Shen family are destined to have an unclear lawsuit.
When Shen Miao heard these words from Jing Zhe's mouth, she was reading a book under the lamp. Jing Zhe said: "Now that the third lady has returned to her parents' house, this matter will definitely not be let go. If they find out that the rumors were spread by the girl... What will happen?"
Those rumors in the market were not released by Chang Zaiqing, nor by Shen Wan, nor by Old Shen Furen, but by Shen Miao.
Shen Miao and Sanfang have been together for a lifetime, knowing that although Chen Rouqiu is arrogant and loves Shen Wan deeply, it is a pity that she is not a fool. Just found out that Shen Wan and Chang Zaiqing's adultery | love will inevitably be angry and impulsive, but after thinking about it later, after thinking about it clearly, doing some grievances in front of Shen Wan, Shen Wan is not completely nostalgic towards Chen Rou Qiu. Love will always soften by one or two points. When Chang Zaiqing entered the door, it was not known who Chen Rouqiu and Chang Zaiqing would die, but Chen Rouqiu would not be defeated so easily.
It would be better to let some rumors go out, Chen Rou Qiu was even more angry, and the relationship with Shen Wan was on fire, only in this way would it reach the point of being irreparable, a woman's revenge was very terrifying, it would be more interesting to stir up trouble. No, Chen Rouqiuguo was really forced to go back to her mother's house.
It will be very difficult to go back after this step. There will be cracks in the hearts of both parties, and the broken mirror will be reunited. That is a story only in the playbook. Shen Miao felt that there were many things that she could not see clearly in the harem in her previous life, but now from a different angle, looking at it as an outsider, it was clear at a glance. Playing with others in the palm of her hand, even if it was an enemy, she was not in a good mood, perhaps because she also thought that when Mrs. Mei looked at her, was it the same way she looked at Chen Rouqiu now? .
"Don't worry." After a while, she said, "It's not that easy to be found out." She handed the matter over to Fengxian's pawnshop. Since she received the money, Ji Yushu will definitely take care of it for her. Fengxian pawnshop has been doing business in Ding capital for so long, and he won't even understand this.
Jing Zhe stopped talking, and saw that the window outside was not closed, so he got up to close it, and went back and said, "Why does Gu Yu forget to close the window all day long, it's freezing cold and the cold wind is coming in, if the girl's body is affected by What about the cold?"
“Wait.” Shen Miao stopped her, glanced at the window and said, “Let’s ventilate first, the room is very stuffy, I will close it by myself later.”
Jing Zhe saw Shen Miao's resolute appearance, although there was some doubts in his heart, why was this room so open and bright, but he still didn't say anything. He fry the wick of the oil lamp for Shen Miao and said, "Young lady should rest earlier."
Jing Zhe backed out.
Shen Miao looked at the slightly swaying candle flame and was about to pick it up and walk to the side of the slump, just halfway there, the candle flame seemed to be bounced off by something and swayed abruptly.
A familiar voice sounded, with a playful laziness that he hadn't seen for a long time, and said, "You didn't leave the door for me on purpose, why are you going to sleep?"
Shen Miao turned her head, the young man was propped on the windowsill, his chin rested in one hand, and a pair of beautiful peach blossom eyes looked at him casually, lazy and charming, even in the dark night, one could not ignore his own light. He saw that Shen Miao was slightly startled and her figure flashed before entering the room, naturally snatching the oil lamp from Shen Miao's hand and walking to the small table to sit down.
The movement is smooth and smooth, as if entering his own house.
“You are back?” Shen Miao asked.
“Tsk,” Xie Jing Xing stared at her and said with a half smile, “Why, miss me?”
Shen Miao was used to his frivolous and ambiguous words and simply ignored him. He also walked over to the small group and sat down, Xie Jing Xing raised his eyebrows and said, "You have done a good job with Chen Rou Qiu."
Shen Miao rolled her eyes at him: "You know again." Xie Jing Xing's eyes were all over the Ding capital, not to mention Feng Xian's pawnshop Ji Yu Shu had something to do with Xie Jing Xing. Shen Miao asked Ji Yushu to go out to spread rumors, I was afraid that Ji Yushu would tell Xie Jing Xing and Shen Miao would not care now.
“No wonder when Chang Zaiqing came to Dingjing, you had such an attitude.” Xie Jing Xing muttered to himself and glanced at Shen Miao again, his tone was not clear whether he was admiring or sighing, half-truth and half-truth, “It’s really ruthless and cruel. ."
Shen Miao was noncommittal. Xie Jing Xing seemed to have remembered something, and he did not know where it came out of a box and threw it into Shen Miao's arms.
Shen Miao was almost hit by the box, she only felt that the small box was heavy, she caught it subconsciously and saw that there was a big tiger carved on the casing of the box. The tiger's head is lively, but it is a bit embarrassing, but the appearance of fangs and claws is very fierce. Thinking of the white tiger named “Jiaojiao” that Xie Jing Xing raised, Shen Miao held back her breath and opened the box.
As soon as I opened it, I was almost blinded by the colorful things in the box. Then I saw the heavy box, all of which were exquisitely crafted and luxurious jewelry. Not to mention that it is a full box, it is worth a lot of money to take out one by itself. Well done, why did Xie Jing Xing give her jewelry? Shen Miao looked at him and shook her head, "I don't need jewelry."
Xie Jing Xing said, "These are all hard-to-find values. You are a girl anyway, what's wrong with buying some jewelry?"
Shen Miao thought for a while and asked, "Perhaps Fengxian pawnshop can be pawned."
Xie Jing Xing was choked by her, he frowned and asked, "You are very short of money?"
“A lot of money is always a good thing, many money management needs money, after a long time, it will inevitably be tight.” Shen Miao said calmly. Facing Xie Jing Xing now, he was not as vigilant as before, and he was very flamboyant. Anyway, Xie Jing Xing’s hands and eyes are open to the sky, he can find out some things without telling him, so why hide such troubles.
When Xie Jing Xing heard the words, he took out what looked like a round jade token from his sleeve and said, "This is the order of the Jinyu Bank. Take this and take as much silver as you want." He threw the jade token to him. Shen Miao said with some displeasure, "Don't be blind all day."
Shen Miao: "..." She was also a queen in her previous life, she saw a lot of gold and silver treasures, but she developed some vulgar taste in the second room and third room during her youth, and later in the palace, in the Qin country, In the end, he has a lot of knowledge, but now he has been written a few stars saying "no vision", which is really a bit embarrassing. But... She picked up the jade plaque, and the jade plaque was made of unknown material. It was crystal clear and cold to the bone. Shen Miao knew that Xie Jing Xing would definitely not lie when he spoke, this jade token really could be used to pick up silver bills at the Jinyu Bank, but the Jinyu Bank was the largest bank in Ming Qi and even the royal family would sometimes travel there. Xie Jing Xing is from Great Liang now, to be able to get this kind of thing is too deep.
Shen Miao returned the jade token to Xie Jing Xing and said, "No merit will not be rewarded."
Xie Jing Xing stared at her with great interest and said, “You really have the guts.” He nodded and motioned Shen Miao to look at the box, “This is no ordinary jewelry, you should look at it again.”
Shen Miao was a little suspicious and picked up a pair of jadeite rings, the jadeite water head was very good, even if it was placed in a jewelry store, it could probably be a good thing. Shen Miao looked at it, but saw that the buckle of the pair of rings seemed a little strange, and when she touched it carefully, it was actually a hidden buckle. She raised her head and looked at Xie Jing Xing, "What is this?"
Xie Jing Xing smiled, “Hidden weapon.”
“Hidden weapon?” Shen Miao fiddled with the hidden button and was about to press down subconsciously, but was suddenly stopped by Xie Jing Xing. Immediately afterwards, Xie Jing Xing stood up and walked around behind her, wrapped around her shoulders from behind Shen Miao, and taught her how to use the jade double rings.
"There are needles here. The poisonous needles are afraid of hurting their own people. Ordinary people will be temporarily unconscious for a while. It is effective within three inches. Don't put them indiscriminately."
"There is poisonous powder in the hairpin. Pulling out the head of the hairpin can cause blindness. It is very useful when encountering gangsters."
"The blade is hidden in the bracelet, and it is a small knife when pulled open. If someone is tied with a rope, this substitute knife will cut the rope."
"There is a whistle in the Babao earrings. If it is urgent, you can blow the whistle. My people are everywhere in Ding capital. If there is any danger, they will come to save you..."
He explained to Shen Miao carefully one by one, he put away the usual frivolity and laziness in his speech, and was extremely serious, and the long eyelashes hanging down were enough to make one's heart move. His hands were slender and fair, and his beautiful peach blossom eyes were half-convinced, and occasionally glanced at Shen Miao, as charming as spring water rippling.
Shen Miao felt a little hot.
The window was clearly open and the room felt dull and dull, when he leaned over and looked down, Shen Miao was almost leaning on his chest and even her back seemed to be covered with a thin layer of sweat . She looked sideways, Xie Jing Xing's lips were graceful and slightly upturned and seemed to be smiling all the time, Shen Miao turned her eyes away as if being burned.
She was a little distracted, but when Xie Jing Xing noticed, Xie Jing Xing was somewhat dissatisfied. He knocked on Shen Miao's head and said, "Concentrate."
Shen Miao sat forward and sat a little further away from him, pretending to be calm, "I have read it all, I also remember it. I will practice it in the future."
The corner of Xie Jing Xing's lips twitched, "Didn't you say no?"
Shen Miao turned her head: "You remembered it wrong."
Turning his head like this, but because Xie Jing Xing was looking down at her, he almost collided with Xie Jing Xing. Shen Miao was slightly startled and her cheeks quickly turned red.
This young man is unbelievably handsome, and he is a little cynical on weekdays, but when he looks at you with those beautiful eyes, the world is like a spring rain from a winter day, and the overlapping red The flowers are in full bloom in Jinguan City, which is indescribably romantic.
Xie Jing Xing laughed in a low voice, his voice was mellow like fine wine, and when he was drunk, it made people a little flustered. Xie Jing Xing stretched out his hand, brushed the broken hair on Shen Miao's forehead, and stared at Shen Miao's eyes carefully, half doubtful and half innocent: "Why are you blushing?"
Shen Miao stood up abruptly, took two steps, turned her back to Xie Jing Xing and said, "The room is too stuffy."
It was precisely because she turned her back to Xie Jing Xing that she missed the clear smile that flashed in the eyes of the purple clothed youth.
“Because you feel ashamed of receiving no merit?” Xie Jing Xing said indifferently, “It’s simple, just make some cakes.” After that, he remembered something and said, “I can do a lot and I can’t get it back, some people don’t do anything. It’s irritating to get it too.”
“What?” Shen Miao could not understand what Xie Jing Xing said. However, seeing that Xie Jing Xing had already stood up, he said, "Forget it, I just gave you a hidden weapon today. These things are suitable for killing people and silence, think it is very suitable for you."
Shen Miao wanted to retort, but felt that what Xie Jing Xing said was indeed right. She lives on the tip of the knife. Although she is protected by the Shen family behind her, what she does is extremely dangerous. If one day, the Shen family can't protect her, she can only protect herself.
This hidden weapon, which looks like a box full of jewelry, is tantamount to being precious to her. Xie Jing Xing was indeed the one who knew her, thinking that he had used Xie Jing Xing as his opponent before, what Pei Lang said in his previous life was indeed true, the opponent was the one who knew him best.
Xie Jing Xing suddenly thought of something and said, "Do you know the whereabouts of Shen Yue?"
Shen Yue? Shen Miao shook her head. She had the eyeliner of the Shen family, and knew that Shen Yue had escaped and disappeared without a trace. Chen Rou Qiu's people have not found Shen Yue yet, and Shen Miao herself once sent people to find Shen Yue's whereabouts, but they all came back without success. Shen Miao also suspected that although the Ding capital was large, it would not find someone to find it like this. Besides, how many days can a delicate girl like Shen Yue survive alone outside
“Do you know where Shen Yue is?” Shen Miao asked.
Xie Jingxing said, "She is in the Qin Palace."
After Xie Jing walked, Shen Miao pressed her forehead and sat down on the couch again. The candles in front of Xiaoji are about to burn out.
Shen Yue actually went to Prince Qin's mansion, and Shen Yue had a relationship with Huangfu Hao. In this life, she has changed the direction of many things. For example, Shen Yue's fate, and now, what kind of variables will happen in the future for Shen Yue who has entered the Qin Palace, no one can predict.
Shen Miao touched her chest and saw the box, she stretched out her hand to take it, picked out a pair of jadeite rings from the box and put it on her hand. The emerald green double rings made the wrist slender and fair as if it were a painting, it was originally an ice-cold jade ornament, but Shen Miao felt a little hot, like the eyes of a young man.
She rubbed her hair irritably and closed the box, but inadvertently saw a jade tablet lying quietly beside the box.
Jinyu Qianzhuang's order...
It was clearly given to Xie Jing Xing, but he didn't know when Xie Jing Xing left it here, he thought it was intentional. She had never seen anyone handing over such a large amount of silver to others, Shen Miao felt very sorry for Emperor Yong Le of Great Liang.
After putting away the jade token, Shen Miao shook her head, thinking that she would meet Xie Jing Xing another day and she would have to return this thing to him. …
In Prince Qin's mansion, in the middle of the night, there was also a woman sitting in front of the mirror and dressing.
The woman sitting in front of the mirror was also of youthful age, and she was quite beautiful when she was born, especially the smell of books emanating from her body, she was a special beauty. At this moment, she was wearing a snow-white tunic, facing the mirror, she was clearly a beautiful woman, but her expression was a little gloomy.
This person is none other than Shen Yue who has been missing from the Shen residence for many days.
Shen Yue never imagined that one day, she would have a relationship with the Prince of Qin. Originally, she planned to leave home and go to Prince Ding's mansion. She thought, Fu Xiuyi has such a gentle and gentle temperament, and she is the daughter of the third daughter of the Shen family, so Fu Xiuyi will not ignore her even if she looks at the friendship of her colleagues. . And she was born beautiful, has a friendly temperament, and has unlimited talent in poetry and painting. Even a stone man will not be moved. As long as Jie Shi said his grievances in front of King Ding, and won King Ding's love and pity, he would be able to win King Ding's heart.
But she has never left the mansion alone, so how can she know where the Ding Wang mansion is. I asked about the location of others, but because they were afraid that the Shen family's servants would come after them, they had to hide. There are often such women in the Ding capital, either escaping from marriage, or escaping from home after committing an accident. Women who are alone are most likely to be targeted. Shen Yue was also being watched.
The people who were eyeing her were a group of hooligans. Before she could find Prince Ding's mansion, something happened in a remote alley. Those hooligans stole her burden and wanted to insult her innocence. In desperation, Shen Yue had to shout that she was the niece of the mighty general.
Although not reconciled, Shen Yue was clear in her heart. His father's name is far less loud than Shen Wan's, especially now that Shen Xin has returned to Dingjing and has received the heavy responsibility of Emperor Wen Hui, it is even worse than before. It is better to call out Shen Wanlai than to call out Shen Xinlai. deterrent.
As a result, someone happened to pass by, and after hearing her shout such a sentence, they rescued the reviewer. It was only later that Shen Yue found out that this person was actually from the Qin palace.
Then Shen Yue saw Huangfu Hao.
Shen Yue had only met Huangfu Hao once at the tribute banquet, the other party was of noble status, and she did not dare to do anything out of the ordinary. This time, I thought it was Huangfu Hao who was helping me, but Shen Yue thanked him graciously. Who knew that Huangfu Hao seemed to be very interested in her, to be precise, he was very interested in Shen Miao and actually asked many things about Shen Yue.
Shen Yue felt that Huangfu Hao had a crush on Shen Miao and was even more jealous in her heart. No matter what, Huangfu Hao is the prince of Qin, and one day he will be the emperor of Qin. If Shen Miao and Huangfu Hao became successful, then if Shen Miao was the Crown Princess, she would be the Queen of Qin in the future, and if Shen Miao was the side concubine, then she could also be a noble concubine. In any case, the glory and wealth are endless.
Therefore, Shen Yue said many things about Shen Miao. She slowly revealed that Shen Miao was a woman with deep scheming and little talent. Sure enough, after Shen Yue finished speaking, she saw that Huangfu Hao's expression was not very good. This made Shen Yue feel very happy.
Huangfu Hao planned to send Shen Yue back, but Shen Yue heard the fact that Shen Wan was going to divorce Chen Rouqiu, and Chen Rouqiu returned to her mother's house in a rage. The first moment Shen Yue heard it, she was furious and planned to go back to the manor to seek justice for her mother. But when she was about to go out, she thought again that if she went back now, she would definitely be married by Shen Wan to Wang Bi as his wife. Now in the Shen residence, Shen Wan and Old Shen Furen are still furious at the fact that she and Shen Dongling exchanged marriages, and they will definitely have no good fruit to eat when they go back.
Shen Yue couldn't think of a good way, and she didn't want to watch Chen Rouqiu suffer a loss. One had to know that once Chen Rouqiu was divorced, even her identity as a direct daughter would be implicated, and in the future she would probably have no place to stay in the residence. Shen Yue had a lot of resentment towards Shen Wan and Old Shen Furen, but this time she was even more unwilling.
Until finally, she thought of a way.
Huangfu Hao is the prince of the Qin state, and his power is overwhelming. If Huangfu Hao shot, maybe everything would be much simpler.
And she, as long as she pleases Huangfu Hao.
She had to stay in the Qin palace, so as not to be found by the Shen family and manipulated at will.
