021: Cousin
Song Ajiao was a little embarrassed on her face, but she saw Shen Qihuan calmly fall back to her seat, as if this was just an ordinary trivial matter, and it was just a matter for her. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
Lu Xiruo also looked at Shen Qihuan with admiration, and the surprise in his heart spread up a little, and his nails pressed deep against the side of the table, and he was already blue and white, and he didn't know it. Yi Cui hurriedly stepped forward, and took advantage of the gap between changing the tea and water and said: "The slave maid thinks that there are still blood swallows warm outside, didn't the princess say that blood swallows are scarce this year, and she wants to give them a taste for the young ladies?"
Lu Xiruo's expression was relaxed, and he changed his smile and said, "It's not, look at the memory of this concubine." ”
Yi Cui led people to get bird's nest, and after a while, the orange-red blood bird's nest was placed in front of everyone, everyone has naturally seen bird's nest, and they also know that blood bird's nest is the best in bird's nest, but this kind of bird's nest with color and luster even Song Ajiao secretly called it rare, then Song Xuexian had already stared at her eyes and said in surprise: "This blood is really deep." ”
Before everyone could react, Shen Qihuan couldn't hold back for a while, and choked on all the tea in the mouth, Song Xuexian didn't know why, so she saw Song Ajiao glaring at her, Song Xuexian was anxious, and asked Shen Qihuan in a choked voice: "What do you mean? I said that this blood swallow has a good color, it must be caused by vomiting blood with saliva when building a nest, what's wrong?"
Among the people seated, except for Lu Xiruo and Song Ajiao, who knew the truth, I am afraid that the rest of the women did not know what Song Xuexian was wrong about.
This time, without waiting for Shen Qihuan to answer, Hongzhi beside her had already pursed her lips and said: "Miss Song, this blood swallow is not the blood spit out by swallows building nests, but the nest built by a swallow called swiftlet, the saliva of this swiftlet is originally red, and it is built on the rock wall of the cave, so it is very precious. ”
Hongzhi generously explained the reason, and most of the girls present looked like they were hiding and dodging, for fear that others would see that they were the same as Song Xuexian, thinking that the blood swallow was the blood spit out by the swallow.
Song Xuexian was ashamed and ashamed, her silver teeth were almost crushed, and she pursed her mouth and didn't speak. Everyone had nothing to say for a while, Lu Xiruo smiled a little far-fetched, although it was her intention to see Song Xuexian make a fool of herself, but Shen Qihuan was too swaggering this time.
At this time, the maid guarding the door suddenly reported: "Princess Qiyu, come to Jinmu Courtyard to find Miss Shen." ”
Lu Xiruo raised his hand when he heard this: "Miss Shen has only been out for a while, why did she come to look for someone?" If Mr. Shen sent him over, he would go back, saying that Miss Shen had dinner with me before leaving." ”
Shen Qihuan had already gotten up, and stood at a loss when he heard Lu Xiruo say this. The servant girl who passed the word answered and went out, Shen Qihuan was annoyed in her heart, she was uncomfortable staying here, and she just wanted to go out quickly to breathe.
Thinking so, the servant girl who had been passed on came back again, stood in front of everyone and looked at Shen Qihuan in embarrassment, and reported: "Master, Bai Qian said that the people from the Chengping Marquis Mansion in Beijing have arrived, and now they are discussing matters in the palace of the prince, let Miss Shen go to see her." ”
The people from the Chengping Marquis Mansion have arrived in Handzhou? Do you want to see Shen Quehuan?
Lu Xiruo straightened up from his seat, his eyes were full of surprise, and he stared at Shen Qihuan stunned like everyone else.
On the contrary, it was the Zhao family who had choked Shen Qihuan before and asked head-on: "The girl's surname is Shen, but the Shen family who is close to the Chengping Marquis Mansion?"
Shen Que smiled lightly: "Yes, my father is the second son of the Marquis of Chengping Mansion in Kyoto, Shen Hongru. ”
After saying that, she saluted Lu Xiruo, but she didn't dare to be interested in everyone's pale and blue faces, and Shi Li retired.
Out of Lu Xiruo's courtyard, Shen Qihuan followed Bai to the direction of the main hall, but Hongzhi beside him looked like she wanted to say something.
Shen Qihuan had already told Hongzhi about "not returning to Beijing in the future", and she didn't understand why she still reacted like this. "What's wrong with you?"
Hong Zhi hesitated for a moment and said, "That Miss Song just now...... In fact, it has some relationship with the old master of the slave. ”
Shen Que was stunned: "Which Miss Song?
"It's Song Ajiao, the daughter of the Song Mansion, she is the daughter of the second aunt and the ...... of the country It's the granddaughter of the old lady......"
Shen Qihuan gradually stopped, looking at Hongzhi in puzzlement. "What do you mean......"
That's her cousin?
Hong Zhi looked at the young lady's face, and said in a low voice: "However, the mother family has suffered such a disaster, although the daughter who marries outside will not involve her life, but she will usually be demoted to a concubine by the husband's family, and even secretly executed. ”
Bai Qian, who was walking in front, found that the two of them had stopped for some reason, and hurriedly returned to take care of them: "Miss Shen, is there something?"
Shen Qihuan's mouth moved slightly, but his throat was astringent, and he struggled to speak. "Bai Qian, I'm a little cold, go back and change my clothes first, and go to the main hall by myself later. ”
In front of the courtyard wall of the main hall, many Chengping Hou guards dressed in dark gray guard uniforms stood outside the courtyard wall, Bai Qian thought that Shen Qihuan was his daughter's family after all, and he was afraid that he was cowardly when he saw this battle, and said with relief: "Hou Ye and Wang Ye and Mr. Changru are discussing matters, and I only asked the little Miss Xun to go over and wait to meet, it should not be in a hurry." ”
Shen Que thanked him and said that he was going back to change his clothes, but he took Hongzhi straight to Changru's study.
Hong Zhi looked at the young lady who was rummaging through the cabinets as soon as she entered the room, and was puzzled: "Miss, what are you looking for?" The slave maid saw Lingsong pestle outside the hall, why don't the slave maid ask him to help you find it. ”
Shen Qihuan opened the boxes on Changru's bookshelf one by one and wondered: "What about the piece of official ink that the prince brought to Changru last time?
"The slave remembered to put it with the bamboo fan. Hongzhi also came to help Shen Qihuan find something, and it took a while to find out the piece of Guanzhou official ink with a big palm.
"Finally looking for it. Shen Quehuan was relieved, put a good box on the shelf, and solemnly put the ink in, "Do you see that Miss Song is gone, if she doesn't leave, give this to her, just say ...... Just say. ”
"Say a good horse for Bole. "Hongzhi gave Shen Quehuan an idea.
"Okay. Shen Que smiled and pushed the box containing ink to her. "Go. ”
Hongzhi went to send ink to Song Ajiao, and Shen Qihuan waited in the small room outside the main hall, vaguely knowing that there were many people in the hall, Bai Qian said that the Marquis of Chengping was afraid that Mr. Changru would escape, and the people in their sixties were even more starry and arrived in person. At first, Shen Qihuan also heard a sonorous sound and smashed his cup and shouted angrily, followed by the persuasion of various voices, the central meaning of which was to persuade Changru to go back.
Shen Quehuan sat alone on the smoked cage pier in the small room, with a hundred emotions entangled in her mind, and she was thinking about going back to Beijing to take revenge all day long.
Bai Qianqian went in and out many times, and when he saw her stunned, he sighed in his heart, but he was just a fifteen or sixteen child.
I waited for another time, and I waited for dinner. Hongzhi came back to her life, saying that she had sent the ink to Song Ajiao, but unfortunately the act of sending the ink was really abrupt, not only did people not notice Shen Qihuan's kindness, but also thought that she deliberately took a piece of good ink to ridicule her, and when she left, she said "thank you" to Hongzhi from between her teeth.
Shen Qihuan didn't have much to think about, so he sighed and let it go.
