Chapter 348: Ruan Lang Fan
This pen and ink shop is famous in the capital, and the things it sells are known for their beauty. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
Gorgeous but not practical.
The wolf pen of pastel flowers and birds is heavy in grip and impractical; The flower paper of the lady of Gongbi is full of paintings, and the place where you can write is only two inches square; The book made of plain silk is embroidered with plum orchid bamboo chrysanthemum, which is exquisite, but I don't know what to do with it.
In short, the objects here are scoffed at by those who are really learned, but they are loved by famous ladies.
But not many people know that the current owner of this shop is Shen Yan.
Three months ago, when Shen Yan was gambling money, he won this shop from Qiao Jun, the son of Yongping.
Qiao Jun spent a lot of effort on this shop, and after Shen Yan took over, he left the original shopkeeper, and the business was not affected.
Shen Yan was not interested in this kind of business, if he hadn't been able to pick up Qixia by buying flower notes, he wouldn't have known who to lose this shop to.
Today is his second time here.
Since he was a child, Shen Yan would attract attention wherever he went, and he turned a blind eye to it, so when he just walked in from the outside, he didn't notice those amazing eyes.
"Lan'er, is that the brave Hou Shizi?" The woman who spoke was eighteen or nineteen years old, with a long face, willow eyebrows and phoenix eyes, a slightly plump figure, wearing a lake-blue grape twig pattern makeup gown, and a little emerald flower on the fallen horse's bun.
Hearing this, the girl standing beside her nodded, but a pair of wonderful eyes followed the tall back without blinking, until he disappeared around the bend leading to the back hall.
The girl was sixteen or seventeen years old, with snowy eyes and picturesque eyebrows, and her cheeks were like fire at this time, which made her delicate face even more beautiful and moving.
"He is Shen Yan, and he hasn't changed at all from when he was a child." The corners of the girl's mouth are smiling, and her eyes are gentle, like the spring water in March is bright and charming.
Of course he has changed compared to when he was a child, only more exciting.
Seven years ago, she went to Beijing with her father and brother and saw Shen Yan for the first time in the palace. She had never seen such a beautiful boy, and the legendary Pan An was no more than that.
"You're Jiaying?" He asked her.
"Your mother and I are sisters, you should call me aunt." She was right.
"Hahaha", Shen Yan covered his stomach with a smile, as if he had never heard such a funny thing, and when he had laughed enough, he suddenly pointed to her nose and said viciously, "My mother is a descendant of Emperor Wenjing, you are just a side branch, next time I hear you use my mother to put gold on your face, I will break your mouth!" ”
That is the biggest insult she has suffered so far, in front of a group of noble women and nobles waiting to see Jin, she was ridiculed and abused by Shen Yan, she saw many noble women with handkerchiefs to cover their mouths and snicker, she saw the disdain in their eyes, she endured not to let herself cry, she couldn't cry, before entering the palace, her brother told her that no matter how much she was wronged in the palace, she had to be treated with a smile, her surname was Zhao, she was also a descendant of Taizu, and her bloodline was noble.
She held her head high and showed a cute smile.
When she left the palace, she saw Shen Yan again, who was teasing the little palace maid. So she shook off the grandmother beside her, ran to Shen Yan quickly, raised her delicate chin, and said proudly: "Shen Yan, you remember, I am Zhao Lanhuan, the lord of Jiaying County." ”
The past is like smoke, but the scene in the palace that day is like an axe and a chisel carving, and it will remain in her memory forever.
Zhao Lanhuan finally retracted her gaze and quietly left with her cousin Yu Su.
In the back hall, Shen Yan's face was pale, and he glared fiercely at Qixia in front of him.
"Say what you just said again!"
Qixia shivered, and an indescribable pain came from her chest and spread to her limbs, and she could barely stand in pain.
“...... I...... Let's forget it......" A few simple words seemed to carry a thousand weights, and she almost used all her strength to say them.
It's not that you can't say something, but you don't know how to say it, and once you say it, you don't hesitate anymore.
"Lord Shizi, you actually don't like Wanxiu County Jun, right? Don't push yourself for my sake. I'm not worth it, I'm an unblessed person, I'm not worthy of you, but I don't want to commit to being a concubine, I know this is the only way I can be with you, but I can't pass myself, I can't pass. ”
"You don't want to be my concubine? What's going on in your head? Zhao Qingyi has a cowardly temperament, as long as I am here, she will never dare to treat you harshly, you will have your own yard in the Xiaoyong Marquis Mansion just like before, I will not let anyone disturb you, let alone anyone bully you! ”
Shen Yan hated not to wake her up, the last time they met, when he told her this method, although she didn't say anything, he knew that she would definitely agree.
But now, in just a few days, she said such a thing.
His Xiaoya has been gentle and obedient since she was a child, how did she become like this?
By the way, she followed Luo's side, Luo's is the main room, Qin Yuzhang has no concubine, Xiaoya is simple, and she must have thought that being an aunt is too lowly.
Shen Yan breathed a sigh of relief, and he continued: "Xiaoya, don't worry, no matter whether Zhao Qingyi has a biological son or not, I will keep our son in her name, and it will be him who will attack the lord in the future, and it will never be Zhao Qingyi's son." ”
Qixia listened in a daze, but it was as if she hadn't heard anything.
After a long pause, she shook her head: "No, don't, I don't want that, that's my own son, why should it be recorded in someone else's name?" I don't want to watch my son and call someone else's mother, I don't want to look at him secretly, even if he becomes a marquis, he is also a concubine, others will laugh at him behind his back, his brothers will also despise him, and the courtiers will use this as an excuse to impeach the brave marquis and the concubine! ”
Shen Yan couldn't believe her ears, did she know what she was talking about?
She was determined not to follow him, so she said such nonsense?
How can there be no Xiaoya in his life? No, never!
He grabbed Qixia's arm and pulled her into his arms: "You're crazy, are you crazy?" ”
Qixia shook her head desperately: "No, I'm not crazy, I don't." ”
Seeing her shake her head, Shen Yan became even more angry, he let go of Qixia's arm, but grabbed her neck with both hands.
He didn't want her to shake her head anymore, he couldn't lose her, he liked her since he was a child, the first brocade chicken he hunted was given to her, the first purse she embroidered was for him, they were a pair from childhood to adulthood.
"Shizi Ye ......" Qixia's face became more and more pale, desperately grabbing his hand, at this moment, she felt that she was going to die, she didn't want to die, the ants still had to find the cracks in the eaves to steal their lives, not to mention that she was the one who had died once?
She struggled with all her strength, her nails dug into the flesh, a pain came from her hands, and Shen Yan suddenly let go of her hands.
But Qixia couldn't support it anymore and collapsed on the ground.
Shen Yan woke up like a dream, and blood gushed out on his hands that were as white as jade, which Qixia grabbed with her fingernails.
He nearly strangled her, and she grabbed him bloody.
How did he and her become like this?
Shen Yan bent down to pick up Qixia and strode out of the back hall.
He shouted loudly, and soon an attendant led the horse over, and he didn't say anything, but got on the horse with Qixia in his arms and galloped away.
Pedestrians on the street dodged one after another, some people fell to the ground, some children were so frightened that they cried, and the bookshop street, which was still full of flowers just now, was a mess in the blink of an eye, and the ghosts cried and the wolves howled.
Bai Jiuniang, who was guarding outside, saw Shen Yan leave with Qixia riding her horse, she galloped and chased out, but the two of them got farther and farther away, and soon disappeared without a trace.
