Chapter 188: New Year's Greetings (1)
On the second day, news came that Shen Shenyin had punished Shen Qinghan. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
Shen Qinghan was moved to the side room of Huichun Courtyard and vacated the main pavilion.
I heard that Shen Qinghan yelled when she saw someone coming to move her things in the morning, and the trouble was a chicken flying and a dog jumping.
"That's a bride price from the Lin Mansion! If you dare to mess around, I'll break your hand!"
The people who went to help move things were all aggrieved, and they were beaten and smashed by Shen Qinghan with things, and their bodies were a lot bruised.
"Shen Qinghan was moved to a side room?" Shen Anyan asked, this would make Shen Qinghan angry.
She cares about her "identity" very much, and has always been worried about whether Lin Xiuye will marry her, and has always emphasized that she is the future housewife of the Lin Mansion, but Shen Shenyin's move undoubtedly gave her a heavy blow, telling everyone that it was impossible for her to marry into the Lin Mansion.
Why? Because when Shen Qinghan was going to marry Lin Xiuye before, he said that Shen Qinghan would be moved to the Miss Pavilion, but now not only did he not move to the Miss Pavilion, but he was also moved to the side Pavilion.
I heard that Shen Qinghan was very sad today, smashing and scolding in the house.
However, Shen Anyan finally got a moment of leisure, and everyone in the Shen Mansion had their own things to do to welcome the new year.
Spring Festival refers to the period from the wax festival of the month of La or the 23rd or 24th day of the month of the month to the 19th day of the first month, culminating in Chinese New Year's Eve and the first day of the first month.
Chinese New Year's Eve is at the Royal Palace, and the first day of the first lunar month is in your own home.
A few days have passed, Shen Anyan has nothing to do these days to talk to Shen Yingqing, Shen Yingqing has a strong smell of medicine, and even Shen Yingqing herself is choked in panic. Therefore, Shen Anyan is bored now, so she is sewing a few sachets, which can be given to Shen Yingqing.
It was almost the first day of the first lunar month, and there was an endless stream of guests from the Prime Minister's Mansion, and all the officials who usually had a little dealings and those friends who had a good relationship with Shen Shenyin came to visit.
It's a New Year's greeting to each other.
Of course, Shen Shenyin's friends are all high-ranking officials, and they live very close to Shen's mansion, in fact, a trip is as simple as visiting the door.
It's just that each province has a huge position, which makes it a little bit of a distance between them.
"Fifth Miss, there are distinguished guests coming from the Shen Mansion, and Xiangye will let everyone go. Xingyu said to Shen Anyan.
Shen Anyan put down the sachet in her hand, turned her head to look at Xingyu, and said, "Didn't you say that you would not go if you were slightly unwell?"
Why didn't Shen Anyan go, Shen Shenyin must know a little bit in his heart, often these "distinguished guests" are Shen Shenyin's friends, and the political opinions are basically the same, not that they are the kind of people who "coincide", but after the discussion of the day after tomorrow, they feel that they are correct.
Of course, there is another type of "distinguished guest", just because of "expensive", and Shen Shenyin is not too familiar with each other on weekdays, but there is no particularly obvious conflict, so above, the two are basically playing dumb riddles, asking some questions casually, asking very implicitly, and after the two confirm that each other is not harmful to themselves, they smile and send off guests.
Therefore, Shen Shenyin's meeting with these people, in addition to the customs of the New Year, also has a political purpose.
If Shen Lingyang or Shen Changbi were present, Shen Shenyin and the "distinguished guest" were originally talking about a way of playing dumb riddles, which was implicitly incomprehensible, even if these ladies were smart and could guess what it meant, but because they didn't know the situation in the court, they were basically deaf and couldn't understand. Because the other ladies of the Shen Mansion didn't know the situation in the political arena, they didn't know what Shen Shenyin meant by talking to others, so naturally the other party would rest assured that no one would leak it out. But it's different here for Shen Anyan, how much does Shen Anyan know about things in the political arena, wisdom is like Shen Shenyin, there must be a bottom in her heart, under the premise that Shen Anyan knows the changes and circumstances of the political situation, the other party also knows that the fifth lady of the Prime Minister's Mansion has a lot of friendship with the third prince, so the exchange of news between the two is simply a sure thing, and they can't stop it, and they shouldn't have a trace of luck.
Therefore, Shen Anyan was very cooperative, saying that she was sick and did not go.
This is quite Shen Shenyin's heart, Shen Anyan's initiative to choose to avoid is undoubtedly to remove a huge trouble for Shen Shenyin, after adding this trouble, Shen Shenyin's mood is naturally much lighter, at least not so heavy.
So, probably to thank Shen Anyan, all the dowry gifts received by Shen Qinghan were collected into the treasury of the Shen Mansion. Half of the bride price sent by the Lin Mansion was originally kept by Shen Qinghan himself, and half was collected from the treasury. Now, all of them have been put into the warehouse, and Shen Qinghan can be said to be "penniless".
Shen Shenyin and Shen Anyan reached a silent agreement with their actions in this way.
And gave each other hints.
I heard that Shen Qinghan used that money to reward people everywhere in the Shen Mansion, as long as she was happy, she would give a reward, sometimes she just needed the servant girl to say something to praise her, undoubtedly it was mostly some flattery that praised her identity, very profligate, and the people around her were making a lot of money, but Shen Qinghan unconsciously continued to live a life of "extravagance and luxury".
"That's true. Xingyu replied, "But today it is a distinguished guest, Xiangye said that everyone must go, and he also sent the Qi family to invite you personally." ”
Shen Anyan understood, put away the sachet in her hand, and put it in the delicate small wooden box on the side, since Shen Shenyin specially ordered the Qi family to call, it should really be to let Shen Anyan pass.
Shen Anyan nodded, and instructed Xingyu: "Change clothes, let's go out." ”
Most of the people came to visit in the days before the first day of the first lunar month, and the number of people who came to visit that day was limited, so they were all high-ranking nobles, and they had some friendship with Shen Shenyin.
Shen Anyan was dressed in a plain white long brocade robe, embroidered a strange and strong branch on the fabric with dark brown silk threads, and the peach silk threads embroidered a blooming plum blossom, extending from the skirt to the waist, a wide purple belt tightened the thin waist, showing a slender figure, but also gave people a sense of elegance and luxury, wearing a faint purple open gauze coat, every move caused the yarn to have a sense of sparkling flow, and a piece of jade jade pendant was tied around the waist, adding an elegant atmosphere, not like a rich and noble prime minister's daughter, but like a scholarly lady, but seemingly simple plain white long brocade clothes, outlining the golden yellow pattern, it is really the luxury that only the high-ranking family has.
Shen Anyan walked to the door, she was already a little late, after the Qi family brought Shen Anyan here, she left alone, and a small servant pushed the door open and let Shen Anyan in.
Shen Anyan walked in, and what she saw in front of her was Shen Shenyin talking with another man sitting at the bottom of the door, and the man heard the sound of pushing the door open, turned his head, and looked at Shen Anyan.
I know that my breath is short for a moment, Qiao Jianyu!
How is him again!
Shen Anyan slowed down for a moment before she reacted, stepped forward and bowed, and said slowly: "Father, mother." ”
Shen Shenyin raised his hand to signal Shen Anyan to get up, and after Shen Anyan got up, Shen Shenyin continued to introduce: "This is Nan Yuhou, you should all know each other." ”
Shen Shenyin has a very good attitude towards Shen Anyan recently, and even if there is such a thing as a "distinguished guest", he is willing to introduce Shen Anyan again alone.
Shen Anyan nodded, bowed again, and greeted: "Nanyu Hou is good." ”
"Hmm. Qiao Jianyu's indifferent voice raised his eyes slightly to glance at Shen Anyan, and then let Shen Anyan get up.
The daughters of the Prime Minister's Mansion, except for Shen Yingqing, the rest of them have arrived, because of Shen Yingqing's injury, so they don't use it. Not only the girls, but even the three sons of the Shen Mansion are here, Shen Bingde saw Shen Anyan coming, and smiled at Shen Anyan, Shen Anyan nodded slightly in response.
"Little Marquis, has things improved in the Yushitai this time?" asked Shen Shenyin.
Because Shen Shenyin is an elder, and Qiao Jian Yucai has not been hereditary for a long time, the late Marquis Nanyu is called "Hou Ye", and it will take some time for the people in the capital to change.
"Well, the snow has stopped, and after Chinese New Year's Eve is much better, presumably we can start building the houses that were destroyed before." Qiao insisted.
In recent days, there is indeed no wind and rain in the capital, and the heavy snow also shows signs of stopping, these days are only occasional light snow, or thin rain, but there is no heavy snow, so it really makes people feel that the capital has survived the disaster.
So last time, Yin Chenlang also said that he was going to start helping to build the destroyed house immediately, but Shen Anyan stopped it in time, Shen Anyan knew that within a few days, there would be another round of blizzards.
"That's a good feeling. Shen Shenyin didn't make too many comments.
"The situation has improved, and there are rumors above, saying that once the cold epidemic is over, the situation will be very good, and there will be a lot of rewards. Qiao Jianyu explained, then looked at Shen Bingde with a smile, and then smiled at Shen Shenyin, "Your son's meritorious service this time is not small, and the emperor also said that what the prince wrote that time is indeed useful, and after the incident, he will be rewarded together." ”
Shen Bingde smiled, although Shen Bingde's personality is relatively calm, and the smile on his face is not very bright, Shen Bingde's smile in private is very charming, but it seems that people in the political arena are unclear how they laugh, I don't know if it is deliberate, I am afraid of exposing myself, or it is really subconscious.
Shen Anyan frowned slightly, although Shen Bingde's smile was not very bright, but the joy between his eyebrows and eyes could not be hidden, and he was indeed happy.
Why did Shen Bingde and Qiao Jianyu know each other?
Shen Anyan no longer listened to Qiao Jianyu and Shen Shenyin's polite words, searched carefully in her impressions, and did think of some, Shen Bingde seemed to have mentioned "Master Qiao" a few times, and she didn't pay attention to it at the time, because Qiao Jianyu and Shen Bingde were both in the Yushitai, and it was inevitable that the two would intersect, so Shen Anyan didn't pay attention, but she didn't expect that the two seemed to have a good relationship!
When Shen Anyan came back to her senses, it was Shen Shenyin who called her.
"Shen Anyan, has the prince mentioned this?" Shen Shenyin asked Shen Anyan lovingly, as if the father and daughter were doing a family affair.
Shen Anyan came back to her senses, and subconsciously glanced at Shen Bingde for the first time, Shen Bingde thought that Shen Anyan didn't want to answer, hinting at herself, so she said: "Dad, the prince will definitely not tell the girl's family about this kind of thing, how can the fifth sister know." ”
Shen Anyan was silent and did not continue to say anything.
Qiao Jianyu didn't believe it, and said contemptuously: "Bingde, you are too protective of your sister, she has such a good relationship with the third prince, how can she not know at all, this is clearly bluffing you." Look, this is not married yet, so he is helping outsiders, keeping his mouth shut for the prince, and keeping his mouth shut to his family, I am afraid that the situation in the Shen Mansion, you have told the third prince. ”
After Qiao Jianyu finished speaking, there was silence in the room.
Qiao Jianyu didn't like Shen Anyan very much before, this is what they knew, but Qiao Jianyu was so angry because Shen Anyan didn't speak, and even made sarcastic remarks, probably because he didn't understand the current situation of the Shen Mansion.
Shen Anyan was not angry, and said with a smile: "Master Hou is serious, if the family wants to know something, An Yan must know everything, but if outsiders want to move some crooked thoughts, it will not be good." ”
Shen Anyan first said "I know everything", which means that I can say everything I know, but if I don't know this, then it's none of my business, and it has nothing to do with me. "Outsiders" refers to everyone, including Qiao Jianyu, these people in the court, the reason why they can't reach the status of Shen Shenyin is because they want to take shortcuts too much, and even want to get important information about politics from the mouth of a boudoir daughter, and they don't hesitate to reprimand, but they don't know how to do things themselves, and they know in their own ways.
Qiao Jianyu was about to say something, but was interrupted by Shen Bingde and said, "Master Hou, my sister can say it if she wants to, and I won't mind if you don't want to say it." ”
What Shen Anyan said was exactly what Shen Bingde meant, Shen Bingde didn't want to rely on Shen Anyan's relationship to go up, because that was not stable, only by himself, by his background, and by his family background, that was just right.
Qiao Jianyu looked at Shen Bingde, and saw that Shen Bingde's face was already a little bad when he said this, and he was afraid that Shen Bingde would be angry, so he didn't dare to ask any more.
Only then did Shen Anyan know that it turned out that Shen Shenyin called her, not because of how "expensive" Qiao Jianyu was, but because Shen Shenyin also wanted to use Qiao Jianyu to find out the information in Shen Anyan's mouth and know the situation on the third prince's side.
Clearly, they didn't succeed.
Shen Shenyin and Shen Anyan have formed a tacit understanding of mutual benefit and reciprocity, as long as they don't hurt each other, there is no problem. Therefore, Shen Shenyin did not dare to provoke Shen Anyan and break this harmony. Shen Anyan didn't mess with Shen Shenyin either, and almost didn't make trouble for Shen Shenyin, but if Shen Qinghan or Shen Lingyang deliberately found fault, Shen Anyan's attitude was that she would definitely not swallow her anger.
Qiao Jianyu offended Shen Anyan a little bit by saying this, but Shen Anyan did not have a seizure, smiled and said nothing.
Shen Shenyin was also horrified and felt uncomfortable, so he stopped the topic in time.
"Okay, if you don't want to say it, don't say it, it doesn't matter. Shen Shenyin spoke, and Qiao Jianyu didn't want to ask again, and continued to chat with a few people. (To be continued.) )
