Chapter 074: Marriage
Yan Xiaokuan only felt that he couldn't understand Shen Liancheng's thoughts, and if he continued to talk, it seemed that it was unnecessary, but he would expose too much of himself. So, he quickly got up, took his leave, and left.
The moment he stepped out of the door, he showed the appearance of a weak scholar again.
Shen Liancheng was under the porch, watching him go downstairs and walk out of the tavern.
A sister-in-law can be bullied by a concubine to disguise himself as waste...... The mansion in Sikong Mansion is afraid that jackals, snakes and scorpions are inhabited, right? Shen Liancheng laughed out loud and couldn't help but sigh lightly, "Interesting." ”
That night, Shen Ruxiu really received a letter from "Yan Xiaokuan".
Seeing the undisguised lovesickness between the lines, as well as the sincerity and determination to accept her as a concubine, Shen Ruxiu even crumpled the envelope into a paper ball, with contempt and anger on her face.
This Yan Xiaokuan, I came to join in the excitement at this time!
In the morning, she had a big fight with Liu Niangzi and others, but Shen Liancheng didn't even come to see her, and she didn't even tell anyone half a word of comfort, and she didn't know what to think. Just as she was wondering, her mother suddenly came to her and asked her if the death of the handyman named Da Ren in Sikong Mansion had anything to do with her, which scared her alive.
"What does it have to do with me? Didn't A-Niang say that he was insatiable, and God couldn't see it, so he accepted him? ”
"You were seen leaving the house alone that night! When I came back, my face was still very ugly...... You tell A-Niang, what did you do that night? ”
Her mother, who had always been gentle to her, was suddenly so aggressive that she almost caught her off guard.
"I ...... I made an appointment with the grandson of Sikong Mansion and told him that I had killed his child! I hate him. Only that incident made up a lie to confuse my mother and win her pity.
When she asked her mother who saw her leave the house that night, she didn't tell her. This deeply disturbed her. Even throughout the afternoon, she was haunted by this little uneasiness.
She was very worried, seeing that the people who had left her house knew something else. But Bai Jian only used the grandson of Sikong Mansion as a shield, and he was really invited by him at night, and he also saw a ghost.
What made her feel strange was that she had been Shen Ruxiu for some time, and Sun Ke, the head of Sikong Mansion, had never looked for her once, but this time she didn't know what medicine she had taken and remembered her? However, she naturally won't meet such a man.
If you fall asleep in a distraught mood, you will not have a good dream.
Early the next morning, Yan Xiaokuan's letter came again, and she once again chose to ignore it. But in the evening, she still received a letter from him.
Day 2, Day 3...... Five days have passed, Yan Xiaokuan has worked tirelessly, and sooner or later he will write her a love letter of courtship. It wasn't until the morning of the sixth day that the love letter finally didn't arrive as scheduled.
Finally stopped. Her tense nerves relaxed in an instant.
However, when she went to greet the mistress in the morning, the third lady called her to the pavilion where the last fight was held. There, the six ladies were waiting for her with a gloomy face.
A few people laughed weirdly. The third lady suddenly took out a letter, shook it in front of her eyes, and said, "Sikong Mansion Governor Sun loves you to this extent, his new wife must still be in the dark, right?" ”
It turned out that it was not that Yan Xiaokuan did not write a letter this morning, but that the letter he wrote fell into the hands of the six ladies!
"Second sister, your face is ugly like this, and there are still people who like you?" The third lady's expression was exaggerated and her face was full of ridicule.
Shen Bijun, the sixth lady, sat on the side, although she also smiled, but she didn't say a word.
"Is it his wishful thinking, what does it have to do with me?" Shen Ruxiu hooked the corners of her lips disappreciatively. "I've never written back to him."
"So you don't like him?" Shen Bijun was looking at her at this time.
"He's worthy?" Shen Ruxiu herself felt sarcastic. She has known how bad the reputation of Sikong Mansion Changsun is, and how low his status is in Sikong Mansion. Shen Ruxiu in the past would like him! Isn't it a broken brain?
"Ah, I think it's a good match." Shen Bijun saw that she really looked down on the eldest grandson of Sikong Mansion, and couldn't help but have an idea, "Why don't I go and talk to my aunt and promote this beautiful thing between the two of you?" ”
"You ......" Hearing her say this, Shen Ruxiu was a little jealous. But she thought about it and smiled, "You think Grandma will listen to you?" Aren't you afraid that others will say that she is narrow-minded and can't tolerate a concubine? ”
Isn't that what the Huang family cares about the most? As Shen Ruxiu, she has not eaten and drunk for nothing these days.
"Look at whether my mother listens to me or not!" Shen Bijun didn't believe in this evil. A few days ago, my mother slapped her in the mouth, but she promised her that she would avenge her. She can't clean up Shen Aman, can't she even clean up a concubine?
In a huff, she took the letter and went to find Huang.
In the Peony Pavilion, when Shen Liancheng heard about this, he was sitting on a rocking chair and snorting melon seeds, and the smile was called a sunny one.
"Son-in-law, why don't you help the second lady, and let her be bullied by the sixth lady?" Yuhe, who passed the word, was very puzzled.
"Qingling, don't do everything airtightly, there are some things, you should let Yuhe know, lest she still be here to give people grievances." Shen Liancheng was still in a good mood, and the melon seeds were crispy.
When Qingling heard this, she hurriedly told Yuhe that the second lady was very likely to send the news to the Jun Pavilion and caused the failure of the roundup in Meiyuan.
Yuhe was simple-minded, and his shock at the beginning quickly turned into anger. Then came the crime of counting the second lady......
Shen Liancheng pointed to the melon seeds in the fruit bowl and ordered: "You guys also eat together, it's boring for me to eat alone." ”
Here is happy and happy, but in Luoxia Garden over there, the Huang family reprimanded Shen Ruxiu and Shen Bijun in a righteous and stern manner.
After reprimanding the two children, she said to Cai Ji with some annoyance: "Today I will send someone to ask Wang Jiagong, there is a good choice of auspicious days." You mother, what should you prepare for Xiuxiu, just start preparing. ”
Cai Ji answered "yes", and when she went back, she scolded Shen Ruxiu.
"What are you doing to provoke the sixth lady? The Huang family is so angry that they can't wait for you to get married as soon as possible, and they are all urging me to prepare wedding clothes for you.
"Who does she want me to marry?" Shen Ruxiu asked urgently.
"Naturally, it's the prince of the Wang family."
"I'm not married!" Shen Ruxiu couldn't help but roar.
Hearing her say this, Cai Ji only felt that she had a terrible headache, supported her forehead, and said seriously: "Don't make any more trouble, Xiuxiu." If you want to blame, blame Niang for being a lowly concubine, she can't be the master, she can only be at the mercy of others......"
Before she finished speaking, she saw Shen Ruxiu rush out of the door violently. "Where are you going?"
"I'll go find my sister." The only thing she can cling to is Shen Liancheng. Although she didn't know how she and the sixth lady were in tension, the sister she defended didn't even have a word of comfort.
