226: Odd Goods
Many people are thinking about Aunt Chen's death, and the Chengping Marquis Mansion seems to be covered by dark clouds again, dull and depressing. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
A few days after the three-room banquet, the emperor still did not have any news that he wanted to marry the daughter of the Shen family, and Wang Lu even asked to return to Beijing, but he was not answered.
Someone in the Kyoto family has been getting the news one after another, and it is no longer a secret that Shen Que is happy to live in strange goods.
And the disaster that Shen Qihuan thought had been avoided was actually only avoided, so why did she stop Shen Yanjun from being alone?
On this day, Xu Biyuan, who had been circling between several internal affairs officials, sent someone to write a post to Shen Quehuan, and Sun Hengyi, the secretary of the Ministry of War, held a full moon banquet for the eldest grandson and invited the daughters of the family in Beijing to participate.
Xu Biyuan asked the woman who sent the post to bring a sentence, "Lord Liu, the deputy head of the Internal Affairs Office, wants to meet Mr. Changru and Miss San." ”
These days, Shen Qihuan helped Changru invest 20,000 taels of silver in the matter of the Internal Affairs Office. This is not a small number in the Kyoto business district, although the Ministry of Internal Affairs has a lot of oil and water, after all, there is a hand-eyed friend in Kyoto, so that the Ministry of Internal Affairs can do much less errands.
For example, several major projects of the Ministry of Industry were originally to be taken care of by the Ministry of Internal Affairs, but the Ministry of Industry only ate the set of King Jing'an, and went on several excerpts in a row, and asked Peng Lai to assist in the management as an imperial businessman.
The emperor has always looked at this prince who is in business, and to put it mildly, the prosperity of the Dayue Dynasty today is inseparable from the Penglai number operated by King Jing'an. Therefore, if there is a friend who looks at it, it will definitely not fall to the Ministry of Internal Affairs.
But the eunuch, the deputy head of the Internal Affairs Office, is a real power, he can't get through Qi Linyu in other places, and when he heard about the ambiguity between Miss Shen San and this merchant prince, he decided to make a roundabout way, after all, if you want to pry a crack in Qi Linyu, it is worth the blood.
It was precisely because of this that Shen Qihuan asked Changru to contact the liar named Hu Qianfeng, so that Xu Biyuan would definitely draw a thread from it and introduce one or two internal affairs officials to herself, and the person she could introduce was nothing more than someone who often had contact with Sun Gang and had an inseparable relationship with Sun Hengyi, the secretary of the Ministry of War.
Sure enough, Sun Gang was still unyielding to be a commoner in the end, and he saw in his heart that the Shen family's hatred was as deep as the sea, but he still pulled the string from it. This meeting at the Shangshu Mansion of the Ministry of War, in Shen Qihuan's opinion, was a big step in the clue of the Xu family.
Once people are involved in interests, they are often easily manipulated.
Two days later, Shen Quehuan made an appointment to go to the Shangshu Mansion of the Ministry of War.
Sun Hengyi's wife and eldest daughter-in-law are both exquisite people, and they do excellent work on the surface, but they don't know that they have known each other for many years, but it is Sun Jia, the eldest lady of the Sun family, who has been holding the shelf, with a cool expression.
To be honest, Shen Qihuan felt that Sun Jia was more comfortable like this.
The theme of the full moon banquet chat is all children, Shen Qihuan has always been outside the topic, but it is a little out of place with the ladies of the boudoir, not only Shen Qihuan feels tired after eating a meal, but the Sun family is also estimated to be tired enough.
There is an official wife who is good friends with Mrs. Sun who can't see it, and deliberately talks about the Wang family in front of Shen Qihuan. "Mrs. Wang is really sick, I went to see her yesterday, and I saw that she had lost a lot of weight, and I wanted to see that my son's interest was still secondary, and the most important thing was to be able to hold it."
"This is reasonable," someone is stubble, "Mrs. Wang is really a wretch, in the early years, she couldn't hold her mother-in-law, and her mother-in-law couldn't hold her husband, but now, her son has become a talent, she can't even hold her son, and she will marry a powerful daughter-in-law in the future, tsk, she has a lifetime." ”
Shen Qihuan could feel that when this person talked about "powerful daughter-in-law", the corners of his eyes and eyebrows seemed to glance inadvertently in her direction, and the meaning was self-evident.
Shen Quehuan lowered his eyes and smiled contemptuously, and the meaning of that smile was also clear.
The atmosphere couldn't help but be quiet, how could the ladies in the female circle in Kyoto have ever seen such an arrogant girl? Immediately, some people couldn't sit still, but fortunately, Mrs. Sun hadn't forgotten what her task was today, and hurriedly smiled and played a round. "Children and grandchildren have their own children and grandchildren, if you want me to see it, Mrs. Wang is too wide."
She raised her hand and sucked a sip of tea, and was about to diverge the topic on her children and grandchildren, when Sun Jia, who had not spoken much, suddenly said coldly: "Mother, it makes no sense for you to say this, you picked such a good sister-in-law for my eldest brother, then Mrs. Wang is also going to be a mother-in-law, why is it wrong for her to stop the fox from entering the house?" ”
When Sun Jia said this, his big eyes turned around and he was so innocent and straightforward, but the words he said made the silence in the room even worse. Mrs. Sun's face was not good-looking, and she scolded: "Little girl, what are you talking about, you didn't let the elders laugh at you." ”
Sun Jia retorted: "The elders won't laugh at me. In the end, the word "I" is said to be nine twists and eighteen bends, and the meaning is very obvious, everyone is not laughing at her at this time, because they are laughing at others, and that other person is naturally Shen Qihuan.
Some people couldn't help but cover their mouths with a handkerchief, laughing maliciously, and more people looked at Shen Qihuan with contempt and watched a good show.
Shen Qihuan was not angry, raised his hand to suck a sip of tea, and asked Mrs. Sun curiously: "Miss Sun is not too young, and it is time to say goodbye, right?" ”
Mrs. Sun's face froze, as we all know, as the only daughter of Master Sun, the secretary of the military department, Sun Jia's personality and upbringing are notoriously poor in the Kyoto family circle, so that when Sun Jia reached the age of fifteen, no one came to mention marriage, and even Mrs. Sun was invited to the house of a subordinate official for dinner, and when it came to her own girl, she could always see obvious defense on the faces of others, as if she was afraid that she would have the intention of marrying and would shoehorn her daughter into them.
The daughter's marriage is equivalent to Mrs. Sun's pain, not to mention it, when it is mentioned, it is like revealing a scar, and the heart, liver and lungs are all painful.
Sun Jia's face turned red early, which girl doesn't think about spring, there are three extremely expensive men vying to marry Shen Qihuan, some people say that she is a strange commodity to live in, some people say that she is a Guilan near demon, when she comes to herself, let alone the orchid and orchid grass, it is like an overnight cabbage that can't be sold. Sun Jia thinks that her appearance is not bad, and the distance between her and Shen Qihuan has not reached the point of being out of reach, and as far as her reputation is concerned, her reputation of Shen Qihuan will only be worse than herself.
Why is such a person a strange commodity?
Sun Jia was about to be burned by the fire of jealousy, and stood up suddenly, "You still have to worry about yourself." With that, he flicked his sleeves and left the banquet room.
Shen Qihuan only pretended that what happened just now did not happen, and got up with a plain face and said goodbye: "I made Miss Sun unhappy, the little girl is really guilty, and it is not good to stay with a thick face anymore, so let's leave." ”
Mrs. Sun's face turned pale, and she couldn't help but smile: "It's still early, why don't I accompany the third lady to the back flower hall to rest?" ”
