Chapter Twenty-Eight: A Chance Encounter in a Foreign Country
After everyone had dinner, they were all called to the hall, and when they saw that there were at least two hundred people, Shen Erjin sighed again that this post house was so big.
After a while, a solemn-faced grandmother, about fifty years old, dressed in cyan brocade, with a simple but atmospheric Suiyun sideburns on her head, and when she first came out, the majesty was undoubtedly revealed, and she paced back and forth in front of everyone with her hands behind her back, but she immediately quieted down the chattering crowd.
Shen Erjin stood a little back in the crowd, and since he saw the cyan brocade, he knew that this person was from the palace.
When the grandmother saw that everyone was shutting up, she paced to the middle and looked at everyone:
"No matter which young lady you are, no matter how noble your family's status is, as long as you get here, you have to throw away the temper of the eldest lady raised at home, as long as you enter the palace, you will have the same identity and status. Instead of embarrassing others everywhere, it is better to contact more contacts now, and it is inevitable that you will meet when you enter the palace, and when you talk about it, you will also be a show girl in the same year, so you can take care of it. ”
Although what this grandmother said was ruthless, it was the truth, but there were many people who listened to it, and there were many people who didn't listen. After listening to the housekeeper's lecture, he took it in Yicheng for two days, saying that he would leave for the capital the next morning, and the night before leaving, Shen Erjin had already found the room of the woman in yellow, and knocked on the door when she was the only one there.
"Who is it?"
This voice was so familiar, Shen Erjin concluded that he didn't recognize the wrong person, and the next moment the door opened, although a familiar face was powdered, and the whole person was a lot pretty, but that smile was a familiar person for Shen Erjin.
Shen Qing.
The person at the door was also a little stunned when he saw her, so he quickly pulled her into the house, and when she entered the house, she sat on the couch Shen Qing asked:
"Why are you here? What are you doing here?"
Her curiosity at this time was the same as Shen Erjin's heart, so she didn't pay attention to her at the moment and opened her mouth directly to ask:
"Why did Sister Qing appear here, and she was still in the identity of Miss Qiao's family, didn't the **** marry into the town? Could it be that something happened?"
It was really unexpected to see Shen Qing here, Shen Erjin thought about it for a long time, and finally could only come to one conclusion, she was an impostor, but what I couldn't figure out was, how could the Qiao family risk being killed to let her come?
When Shen Qing heard this, a wry smile instantly appeared on the corner of his mouth, and he said helplessly:
"I won't hide it from you, originally this was an agreement I reached with the Qiao family, and no one was allowed to say it. The second day I entered Qiao's house, even the face of Qiao's son has not been seen, and he was called to a secret room by Master Qiao and his wife, it turned out that Miss Qiao was also on the list of the draft this time, but Miss Qiao has been the same as her brother since she was a child, she is weak and sick, and now Qiao Gongzi has no days to live, and the master of the Qiao family does not want to lose his son at the same time, and then take the daughter who has been held in the palm of his hand since he was a child, so it is true that the family is a disguise and wants to find someone who is willing to enter the palace instead of her. ”
It turns out that there is such a hidden relationship, no wonder Master Qiao dares to let her replace her so blatantly, it must have been raised in the boudoir since childhood, few people have seen it, it seems that not everyone hopes that their daughter can earn a place in the palace.
"Then the agreement you reached has something to do with Hao'er, right?"
As long as it is the people of Shen Jiazhuang, it is clear that there is no one else who can shake Shen Qing except Shen Hao. After asking, I saw her nod and said:
"The Qiao family promised to let him go to the best school and raise him for a lifetime, but I don't worry about who Hao'er will give to me, as long as Hao'er can do well, he will be able to protect himself in the future. ”
Shen Erjin felt that if she hadn't agreed to this marriage with Hao'er in mind, maybe she would be able to find a favorite person in the future, as long as the character was good, why worry that he wouldn't help take care of Shen Hao, besides, Shen Hao will be really big in a few years, and he will definitely have his own way to go after having his own ideas, Shen Qing has thought about everything for him now, but he has forgotten herself.
"You've always been a good sister. ”
Shen Qing smiled and didn't squeak, but the expression full of happiness was on his face. After a while, I heard her speak:
"Why are you here?"
Shen Qing was really surprised that she appeared here, her appearance was a little incredible like herself. Shen Erjin was helpless, the two had known each other since childhood, so this matter was really impossible to hide.
"I'm Tao Yao now, and like you, it's a secret that can't be told. ”
Shen Qing was taken aback, and his eyes widened widely, and he turned out to be the same as himself.
"What the hell is going on?"
Shen Erjin sighed, there are some things that still have to be said.
"Tao Yao has a person who is in love with her, and now she doesn't want to enter the palace, Uncle Sibai thinks about her sister who entered the palace a few years ago, and there is no news until now, so he can't bear to let her enter the palace. ”
said it in general terms but pointed out all the things, and Shen Qing understood the general situation but became more and more curious.
"Then you will come over? Aren't you messing around! What should you do with Shen's mother when you leave? And Sister Wangyun and Wangchun, if you want to enter the palace, you won't be able to get out for a year and a half, can you let them go?"
Shen Qing was originally fatherless and motherless, and he had relied on Shen Hao since he was a child, as long as he settled down, everything would be fine. So she didn't understand how she could give up such a good family and go to Beijing alone.
"This is a long story, this road is really not easy to walk, in the future, we must support each other and go down together. ”
Shen Qing sighed in his heart when he heard this, if this road is taken well, it will be a broad road, if it is not good, it can only turn into a handful of loess.
"You're right, we must support each other in the future, and we must save our lives no matter what difficulties we encounter. ”
Maybe they all know that the road ahead is difficult and too difficult to walk, so they are speechless at the moment.
On the second day, when everyone was still asleep, a scream swept through the sky and hit the eardrums of everyone who was sleeping, Shen Erjin opened his eyes suddenly, his apricot eyes immediately widened, and after a little consideration, he concluded that the source of the sound must have come from the second floor. Then Chunliu and Bai Lian also woke up, and several people looked at each other and got up in unison, and when they got out of the doorway, there were more than a dozen people standing in the corridor, all of them lying on the window and looking down, Shen Erjin also stepped forward to take a look, and this glance almost made her scream.
