Chapter Twenty-Six: Mrs. Li's Thanksgiving
Shen Jinyu remembered that Fluttershy's own maids were not saved, and these people were all maids, but these maids had all grown up with Cheng Wan since childhood, and in terms of companionship, they were better than those close friends. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
She excuses Fluttershy and says, "I want to thank you for your best efforts and for helping me keep my sister." ”
Biyu's eyes slowly turned red, and Shen Jinyu had to watch the two of them cry together.
Shen Huaijin left with the imperial doctor. At this time, Mama Wang beside Mrs. Li was invited, Shen Jinyu thought that she should ask about this time, so she left Biyu behind, and Cheng Xuan and Cheng Xuan followed Mama Wang.
Along the way, the flower corridor twisted and turned, half bright and half ambiguous, Cheng Xuan looked at Shen Jinyu, the two made eye contact, and then walked forward in silence.
When they were in Pingkangfang before, they discussed this issue, Shen Jinyu had planned to tell Mrs. Li completely the truth, but was stopped by Cheng Xuan, Cheng Xuan thought that this matter was caused by the Lingnan Rebellion, not the fault of the Shen family, and Shen Jinyu believed that no matter what the antecedents were, at least from this matter alone, the person who caused the trouble was her uncle.
Shen Jinyu also knew that Cheng Xuan was for her good, and she would still live in Cheng Mansion in the future, so becoming a troublesome person would naturally leave a bad impression on Mrs. Li.
The two also argued about this, but Cheng Xuan showed rare persistence, and Shen Jinyu felt as if he was cheap and obedient in the end, so he had to go along with him.
At Mrs. Li's place, no one else was sent out first, and after the two entered the room, Mama Wang stayed at the door.
After the two of them were invited, they each sat on the chairs on one side, and Mrs. Li still sat on top of them in gorgeous costumes. She combed a flat hairpin and wore a gold leaf peony on her head, which shone with a cold light as it shook. Mrs. Li's expression today was dignified and dignified, and she was a little less cordial.
Mrs. Li spoke first: "Originally, Miss Shen, you saved the little girl, I should thank you well, but things are too abnormal, I want to hear what happened that day?" ”
Shen Jinyu smiled and brought out the good statement she had said to Cheng Xuan that day, she was afraid that the riots in the city would spread to Cheng's mansion, so she took the initiative to change her identity with Cheng Wan and let her blend in with the maid.
Then after she was taken captive, she passed out until she was rescued by Cheng Xuan.
Mrs. Li asked, "Then why didn't you come back that day and stay out for so long?" ”
Cheng Xuan said: "It was my son who was delayed that day." ”
Mrs. Li glanced at Cheng Xuan and said to Shen Jinyu, "Miss Shen, what do you say?" ”
Shen Jinyu was a little surprised in her heart, Mrs. Li's attitude today was a little strange, and she still replied to her with the words discussed that day: "When I woke up that day, it was already dusk, and the top of Qifeng Forest was too high, so I really couldn't go down the mountain in that day, so we spent the night on the mountain." ”
Mrs. Li's expression became more complicated, and she asked again: "It was too much of a coincidence that day, you and the little girl had just changed their clothes, and someone came to kidnap you?"
Cheng Xuan said: "This person is here to avenge the king of Shaonan in Lingnan and wants to lure his son into the trap. ”
Mrs. Li raised her eyes and glanced at Cheng Xuan and said, "I'm talking to Miss Shen, if you're busy, go and get busy first, if you're not busy, go outside and guard first." ”
Although Mrs. Li was not close to him, she rarely interrupted him so directly, Cheng Xuan was surprised, Mrs. Li no longer looked at him, Shen Jinyu just sat in her place in a regular manner, looking straight at the open space in front of her seat, and did not look at him, Cheng Xuan and Mrs. Li have always been polite on the surface, so he did not argue, and went to wait outside the door first.
Mrs. Li smiled slightly, and no longer asked about the situation of the day, she looked at the appearance of Cheng Xuan's explanation just now, and knew that the two of them had already set up the words, and they might not be able to hear the truth if they asked again.
She opened the two carved walnut boxes on the table at hand and said to Shen Jinyu: "This box is some of the jewelry I married back then, I originally planned to leave it to Wan'er, and the other box is a silver ticket of one thousand taels, all of which are a little bit of my care, if you want, in the future, I can also marry you off like a daughter." ”
Shen Jinyu only felt that Mrs. Li's speech today was very strange, until now, she finally understood, what Mrs. Li hoped was to use silver taels to solve this kindness, and she didn't want to be mentioned by anyone again that night on the mountain.
Shen Jinyu was out to save Cheng Wan, and in the past few days with Cheng Xuan, Shen Jinyu coerced Entu to marry Cheng Xuan as his wife, although she is an orphan girl Gao Pan, but it is also reasonable.
Now that things have happened, no matter what the reason is, at least the result they saw was that Shen Jinyu saved Cheng Wan.
Shen Jinyu suddenly felt funny, she couldn't help laughing, stepped forward and took the wooden box containing the silver ticket, and said thank you to Mrs. Li again, she obviously felt that Mrs. Li's tense mood at the beginning began to relax a little.
Shen Jinyu said with a smile: "Originally, there was nothing to thank or thank, if I got serious, I would also have to thank General Cheng for saving his life this time." Our sister and brother have also lived in Chengfu for more than a year, and originally wanted to leave after the test for their younger brothers. Thank you, Mrs., for taking care of you for more than a year. ”
Shen Jinyu downplayed the change of clothes between her and Cheng Wan, and counted Cheng Xuan's love for saving her sister on her head, so that the role of the "benefactor" in this incident was downplayed, which really made Mrs. Li's expression relax a lot.
Hearing that they were leaving, Mrs. Li was a little surprised and said, "You want to go?" Where are you going? ”
Shen Jinyu said: "After the children's test, whether we are in or not, we have to go back to the south. It's just that when we are walking, it is more convenient for my younger brother to act with fame. That's why I stayed for so long for the sake of the children's test. ”
Mrs. Li's smile was naturally much more sincere.
In fact, it is reasonable to say that with such a family background as the Cheng family, where does the noble girl still need to climb high? When King Cheng married her, it was not because she was the eldest daughter of the Li family.
She was still a twenty-eight girl at that time, and the carriage that went out startled the horse, and King Cheng passed by to restrain the horse, and then fell in love with her at first sight and followed her to Li's house.
The life after marriage is very happy, at least as King Cheng promised at that time, Luan Feng and Ming, if it weren't for ......
If King Cheng doesn't marry her, according to the Cheng family's consistent non-alliance with the clan, life should be better than now, at least his children should not be like now, wholeheartedly wanting to marry a noble girl, and the two families rely on the alliance of interests in exchange for greater political capital.
But according to the current situation, at least, the relatives of the Han family will definitely not work.
Mrs. Li suddenly felt sad in her heart, she stood up with a smile, picked up the box of jewelry on the table, and handed it to Shen Jinyu's hand and said: "This is for you, I should thank you well, seriously speaking, you saved my two children." ”
