Jin Mu Courtyard is the courtyard where Lu Xiruo entertains guests, and there is only a wall between it and the side courtyard where she lives. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 info Shen Qihuan has something in her heart and wants Hongzhi to go back. After Hongzhi went and returned, she cautiously said to Shen Qihuan: "The maid next to the side princess said that the side princess told her to invite you, otherwise she would not be allowed to go back." ”

Shen Quehuan was bored in her heart, her brain was twisted into numb by this matter, Hongzhi saw that her expression was wrong, and she poured a cup of mountain spring dew for her, and persuaded: "Miss, now we live in the house of King Jing'an, and the princess can be regarded as half a hostess, even if she looks at the face of the princess, she can't win the kindness of the princess." ”

What she said was reasonable, Shen Qihuan was touched by her sentence "the face of the prince", although she was unhappy, she also nodded in response.

Hongzhi also wanted to change her clothes, but Shen Qihuan really didn't have the patience, so she pointed to a fox fur and said, "Put that cover outside." ”

This fox was brought to her by Man Su when she came back this time, saying that the prince ordered her to make a few pieces of big fish, and brought three or four pieces over, but she only fell in love with this fox skin with ash in the snow. Man Su also said that she was discerning, and her words at the time were "With this, no matter what the girl wears, she can go to the table"

Shen Quehuan mistakenly understood this as "saving trouble", and walked towards Jin Mu Courtyard with Hongzhi, and the girls who saw her along the way were all amazed and stunned, Shen Quehuan was thinking deeply, but she didn't put these into her eyes.

She put on Hongzhi's words as she walked. "I wanted to ask you a few days ago, it is said that the funeral was being held at the time of the incident in Jiangfu, did anyone die at that time?"

A month before the incident, the second aunt passed away, and Shen Qihuan wanted to lead the topic to the second aunt. Hong Zhi didn't expect the master to suddenly ask about this, and when she saw that there was no one around, she followed and whispered: "It's the second lady in the mansion, and I don't know if she is lucky or not, she died in front of everyone. ”

"Oh, what's the disease?"

"Caught in the yin wind, at first it seemed to be a nightmare, three or four days of dreaming and not waking up, after waking up and three or four days of sleep, so tossed for a month, people's spirit is gone, looking for Lang Zhong also found a shaman, has been dragging it is not curable, but five months people are gone. Hong Zhi was sent to the new master's house at that moment, and then followed the new master back to the house to take a look at the second lady, and she was out of appearance like a ghost, so scared that she also had nightmares all night.

Shen Que Huan pondered Hongzhi's words, at that time, she was all about searching for Qin Wu, and she was haunted by people during her time at home, so she didn't notice so much, now that she thought about it, she vaguely felt that the second lady might have been poisoned, so she asked again: "Nightmare? It sounds strange, I heard that only when there are living people around can they be chained by ghosts." "If the second lady fills in the slaves and maids around that juncture, eighty percent of them are the ones who are making trouble.

Hongzhi has also heard of Shen Qihuan's "vast supernatural powers" these days, Yidong ate something bad yesterday, and went to Shen Qihuan to ask for a bowl of rune water, which is said to be fine immediately after drinking.

How did she know that those rune papers were soaked in potion by Shen Qihuan, otherwise how could she cheat the maids' silver.

Hongzhi thought for a long time, "I didn't see any people, but the niece of the second lady's maiden family came to live for half a month, and it happened that the second lady was sick, so she was left to serve the soup, and she waited for four months before being picked up by her mother's family." ”

Shen Qihuan paused, a detail suddenly came out of her mind, when she and her mother went to visit the second lady's courtyard, a plump woman held a "Nine Blessings" to come, saying that her daughter still remembered the second lady's illness after returning home, and it took six nights to embroider it.

The reason why Shen Qihuan remembered it was because the second lady who didn't know her was a daughter, and tried her best to recommend her niece to her, coughing while talking, she couldn't bear it.

Hong Zhi didn't know why the master suddenly stopped, and couldn't help asking: "Miss, but there is an order?" Seeing Shen Quehuan's eyes flashing with slaughter, the expression was like that of the Duchess before she was angry, and Hong Zhi involuntarily took a step back.

Shen Qihuan didn't notice Hongzhi's cowardice, she slowly lifted her steps, her expression was still indifferent from before, as if her mind was completely absent.

Walk through the garden to a long street with a wide top in the backyard, and turn around once to the south is the Jin Mu Courtyard, Shen Qihuan's master and servant entered the threshold, and a servant stopped them to ask for their names, and asked the two to wait under the porch for a while, and trotted in to pass the word.

The two begonias under the corridor are blooming brightly, the begonias in winter are rare, and the ones with the fragrance of flowers are even more rare. Such a rare thing, if it is placed in an ordinary family, it should be planted in the hall room carefully, how can it be planted so casually as in King Rong's mansion.

The little minion went and returned after a while, and with her came a noblely dressed maid. The maid was wearing the same green clothes as Yi Dong and them, and saw Shen Que saluting attentively. "The slave maid came to pick up Miss Shen into the house, and the princess has been waiting for a long time. ”

Hong Zhi also thanked her, she didn't meet her master who treated her family harshly like Lu Xiruo, so she didn't notice a trace of surprise on Shen Qihuan's face.

Walking through the corridor, and then walking forward through the second gate, a burst of women's laughter came out, Shen Qihuan and Hong Zhiju were stunned, Shen Qihuan asked, "Is there anyone else in it?"

The slave respectfully turned sideways and replied: "The famous young ladies in the Hanzhou Mansion are all inside, and the princess is afraid that Miss Shen will be bored, so she will also call you over to be lively." ”

Shen Qihuan didn't understand what the princess meant, but Hong Zhi felt that this was a rare good thing, although she was a noble lady from Handzhou Mansion, but any young lady from a family was willing to participate in this kind of gathering occasion, and her master had not yet gained a foothold in Beijing, so she could take such an opportunity to make a name for herself.

Thinking so, he stepped forward with a smile and pulled Shen Qihuan's sleeve, and whispered: "Miss, you have to get used to this kind of occasion, you might as well use the face of the princess to establish more friendship with the ladies of Handzhou Mansion." ”

Shen Qihuan didn't like this kind of occasion with too much fat and powder, but the noble maid in front had already picked up the curtain, and Hongzhi in the back was helping her diligently, so she had no reason to retreat, and stepped into the house with her skirt up.

There was a burst of laughter and laughter in the room, and more than a dozen pairs of eyes leaned towards the door, and Lu Xiruo, who was sitting next to him in a bright blue butterfly folded gauze skirt, saw Shen Qihuan's snow-white fox fur, and the smile that had just been piled up almost collapsed.

She could see that it was a big coat cut out of the whole leather, and the color of the fur was very rare, and it was one of the best colors in the capital. Even Lu Xiruo was surprised by the clothes, how could the famous ladies sitting there not be surprised, when they first inquired about Shen Qihuan's origins, these unpopular girls of the Song family were still secretly complacent, with a description of "but so", when they saw this dress, even Song Gillian had to be impressed.

Shen Qihuan is not a girl who has never seen the world, and she only swept away the feelings in everyone's eyes with only her spare eyes.

It's just that Shen Qihuan was still a little stunned by Lu Xiruo's change of attitude.

"Sister, come on. Lu Xiruo sat on the group couch obliquely, and behind her was a sandalwood carved gold chair, which made her more and more rich and graceful.

Shen Qihuan paused, took two steps closer to her, and greeted Fuli: "I've seen the princess on the side." ”

There were still two women sitting next to Lu Xiruo, although I didn't know what their identities were, but since they were sitting next to Lu Xiruo, Shen Qihuan logically wanted to call her "elder", but she gave Lu Xiruo a generous salute, and then moved to the chair brought by the slave maid.

Everyone looked at her with complicated eyes and different expressions.

Lu Xiruo didn't expect her to be so polite, and said to her with a smile: "Here are the two aunts of the Song clan, and there are the three concubines of our Lu clan in Handzhou, these are the sisters of the Song family and the Lu family, you don't often walk around, so you will come to recognize it today, and you will be familiar with each other when you meet elsewhere in the future." ”

She had already given Shen Qihuan enough face, but she didn't want Shen Qihuan to take a hand at Hongzhi, stood up and gave a public salute: "Little girl Shen Qihuan, I have seen everyone." The tone was detached.

Rao is Lu Xiruo was in the town, but he also provoked the anger of the public.

"Ouch, Miss Shen is such a big shelf. The person who spoke was the third wife of the Lu family, Zhao, who was the housewife of the grandchildren of the Lu Mansion in Handzhou.

Hongzhi thought that Shen Qihuan had not passed the scene, and was busy standing up to explain, but seeing that her master was sitting steadily and steadily, that appearance inexplicably made Hongzhi also calm down.
