Chapter 088: The Deceased

Yuerong listened to Jiao's instructions and brought a lot of delicious and useful food to Yuxiangyuan. www.biquge.info As a big maid, she also told the maids and servants of Yuxiangyuan to serve Shen Yan like a lady in the main room.

When people like Xiyu heard this, they thought that Shen Yan would turn over when she gave birth to a child, and only people like Mama Cui who had some ideas and acted steadily would think about it one more layer. After Yuerong left, Mama Cui still told Shen Yan the story of Li Chengmao's biological mother in private.

Li Chengmao's mother was originally a slave of the Li family, and she was gentle and beautiful. Li Kuo had long been interested in her, but he was afraid of his wife Jiao's arbitrariness, and he didn't dare to accept her as a thing in his account. However, he still asked for her body after a drink and made her pregnant with Li Chengmao. It wasn't until he couldn't hide it anymore that the Jiao family knew all this, and the Li family at that time was jumping with chickens and dogs. After she gave birth to the child, the Jiao family locked her up, didn't even give her the title of a concubine, and even took away her child. She couldn't see the child all day long, and finally died of depression. When the person died, the Jiao family chased her as a concubine under Li Kuo's strong request.

Mama Cui said this, but she just wanted to remind Shen Yan to prevent Jiao's side from "recognizing the son but not the mother".

In fact, Shen Yan knew the story of Li Chengmao's biological mother in her previous life, and knew that Jiao's family was a person, so she could naturally think of this. However, Mama Cui was so kind to remind her, which made her trust her a little more.

In order to prevent the separation of flesh and blood in the future, she discussed countermeasures with Li Chengqi that night.

Just when they thought of frowning, Shen Yan said suddenly: "It's still early before the production period, let's talk about it then." She sighed softly. Half a year has passed, and I still don't know what will happen. ”

Lee Seung-ki is sensitive. Hearing her say this, I was afraid that she would have something to say, so I asked, "What do you mean?" ”

"Nothing." Shen Yan wouldn't tell him. She hoped that his domineering and powerful mother, who had never given her a good face in her previous life, and even Xiyu might have been killed by her, could die in this half a year.

"You're right, I don't know what will happen in the past half a year, let's not think about it for the first time, and live a good life. It's not too early, go to sleep. Li Chengqi said and hugged Shen Yan. Fall asleep.

Shen Yan couldn't sleep. She touched her lower abdomen, and the more she thought that a small life was being born inside, the harder it was to calm her heart. She was confused, worried, afraid, but also rejoicing and looking forward to it. Such complicated feelings made her uneasy.

After just a few days of being cared for, Jiao's side really came up with a new idea.

On this day, a guest came to the Hou Mansion, and this guest was Miss Wei, the daughter of the household secretary that Jiao Huaiqing wanted to introduce to Li Chengqi.

Originally. Shen Yan didn't know that Jiao's had the idea of getting married, but Xiyu heard the news and came to tell her how good Jiao's was to Miss Wei, and specially took her to the main courtyard to meet Ning Anhou, so she guessed it.

The daughter of Tobe Shangshu? The new emperor ascends the throne. I don't know how many important ministers have been removed, and how many people have been allowed to fill the vacancies of important positions. Who this household secretary is, Shen Yan doesn't know very well. Thinking about it, she asked Xiyu, "How is Miss Wei?" ”

"People are beautiful. It also looks like a lady, and she is well-informed. Look at it, it's a person who shows off his wisdom. Xiyu said all the descriptors she could say.

Shen Yan thought, Li Chengqi wanted to straighten himself out. The road is so hard. If this Miss Wei is a pure and kind person, perhaps, she can follow the path she originally planned.

"What does Master Hou think of Miss Wei?" She asked Xiyu again.

After saying a few kind words, he said that he was going to urge the second master to build a school, and left."

Kind words? Shen Yan can't help but be careful, if he treats a woman from an ordinary family, according to Li Chengqi's character, he won't even say half a word of kind words.

"Then where is Miss Wei now?"

"The old lady left her for lunch, and now it's time to go back to Fushoutang." Xiyu replied.

Shen Yan thought that she should know this Miss Wei.

In the afternoon, she went to the front yard and waited until Miss Wei said goodbye to Jiao and went back to her grandmother's house. From a distance, she saw her very charming posture and posture.

As Xiyu described, this Miss Wei is full of everyone's beautiful bearing. She has a well-proportioned figure and delicate facial features, and she is a beautiful character.

Seeing Shen Yan come forward, she was not rude, and politely wanted to bow down to Shen Yan. It's just that Yuerong, who was ordered by the Jiao family to send her out of the mansion, stopped her, "Why should Miss Wei be so polite to Shen Niangzi?" Mrs. Shen is the concubine of Lord Hou, how can she afford Miss Wei's gift? ”

Facing Yuerong's face, Shen Yan just smiled, and there was no change on her face. To her surprise, Miss Wei still made the ceremony real, and said softly: "When we meet for the first time, how can I, as a guest, not give a salute to the host's house?" Even if it's Yuerong's mother, I nodded my head, didn't I? Shen Niangzi is the favorite concubine of the Hou Ye, and it is indispensable for me to have a courtesy. ”

When Yuerong heard this, the smug smile on her face immediately dried up.

Miss Wei said again: "Yuerong's mother stay, I hit it off with Mrs. Shen at first sight and wanted to talk to her." ”

Yue Rong was surprised, but she had no choice but to leave. After she left, Miss Wei stepped forward and took Shen Yan's hand, and asked with joy in her eyes, "Sister Yan'er doesn't remember me?" ”

Shen Yan was even more inexplicable, and looking at her face again, she felt a little familiar, "You are ......"

"My second brother is Wei Jiuting."

Wei Jiuting? Shen Yan was overjoyed and suddenly remembered this character. Wei Jiuting is the general of the Imperial Forest Army. When Shen Yan's father was the prime minister, he was still the most proud protΓ©gΓ© of the Prime Minister's Mansion. He often goes to the Prime Minister's Mansion, and he is about the same age as Shen Yan, so he is familiar with him.

And his sister Wei Min, who is now standing in front of Shen Yan, is the Miss Wei who knows Shen Yan because of the Peach Blossom Festival held in the capital two years ago.

During the Peach Blossom Festival, literati and artists all gather in the Peach Blossom Forest. Wei Jiuting took Wei Min with him, got acquainted with Shen Yan, chatted speculatively, and called each other sisters. But Wei Min is a model of a beautiful lady in the end, and she likes to do some things that her daughter loves to do in the boudoir all day long, and she has no contact with Shen Yan, who has always loved to play. Who would have thought that meeting again would be an embarrassing situation today?

"We've all heard about you." Wei Min told Shen Yan. "This time I came to my grandmother's house, and my second brother also asked me to find a chance to come and see you. Even if you don't show up here today. I'm going to make an appointment with you, too. ”

Shen Yan smiled frankly and asked, "Your second brother is still on duty in the palace?" He's so capable. Surely he will be promoted again, right? ”

Wei Min shook his head, "My second brother has that temperament, his mouth is not slippery enough, and after the change of the commander of the Royal Forest Army, he has not made much progress." It's my father, who doesn't have a proper shape all day long, but has been promoted from a small official in the household department to a scholar. ”

She didn't say it, Shen Yan really couldn't imagine that the current Hubu Shangshu was Wei Jiuting's father, Wei You. Wei You is mediocre, a lot older. It's like a naughty boy. The new emperor will appoint him as the head of the household, which is really ...... Thinking of this, Shen Yan couldn't help laughing, the new emperor used people so indiscriminately, sooner or later he would die out of the country!

Seeing her smile, Wei Min was a little ashamed, "Sister Yan'er also thinks that my father can't take on the big responsibility, right?" ”

"No, no, no, I'm not laughing at it...... Sister Minmin, will you go and sit in my room? Shen Yan quickly changed the subject.

Wei Min happily agreed.

In Mika-in. They talked about Jiao's calculations.

"Sister, don't worry, I won't marry into the Hou Mansion and add to your blockage." Wei Min immediately made her attitude clear, and she also said: "I heard that Master Hou is very good to his sister. has always refused to marry, just because of his sister...... My sister is so blessed. ”

Shen Yan smiled, "Even if it's not you." The old lady will also seek a girl from someone else's house for the Hou Ye. No matter how good Master Hou is to me, I am just a concubine. ”

Wei Min frowned. Only sighs. Then she asked, "Then what is the plan of Master Hou?" Rejecting the family affairs arranged by the old lady will work once or twice, but it will be difficult to do so three or four times. ”

Shen Yan shook her head. Said she didn't know either.

Pleasant things and unpleasant things, they all talked about it. It wasn't until Li Chengqi went to Yuxiangyuan to see Shen Yan that their topic stopped.

Seeing that Wei Min became Shen Yan's guest, Li Chengqi was very surprised, hearing that the two of them had known each other for a long time, his attitude towards Wei Min couldn't help but become more enthusiastic.

However, Wei Min didn't stay long and quickly resigned.

When Shen Yan sent her, she didn't forget to tell her: "Sister Minmin must remember one thing, when you look back at the old lady of the Hou Mansion and ask about the relationship between the two of us, you must show the spirit of not waiting to see me." ”

"Why is that?" After Wei Min asked, he quickly figured it out, and couldn't help sighing: "My sister and the old lady, are they really incompatible and can't be changed?" "She has a good heart, and she can't see how bad Jiao is.

"She's not going to accept me." Shen Yan said.

Wei Min nodded helplessly and agreed to her instructions.

Back in the house, Shen Yan asked Li Chengqi what he thought of Wei Min. Li Chengqi said that he had no contact and didn't understand, so Shen Yan said: "Sister Min Min is knowledgeable, gentle and virtuous, and she is also beautiful. Her eyes looked at Li Chengqi without blinking, "She has a Hubu Shangshu as her father, and a general who leads the Imperial Forest Army as her brother, so you don't want to take advantage of it?" ”

Li Chengqi looked at her sideways, and there was surprise in his eyes.

Shen Yan said again: "Her father Wei You is mediocre and has no real talent, and somehow became the head of the household, but her brother Wei Jiuting can become the general of the Imperial Forest Army at a young age because of his real talent, you marry Sister Min Min as your wife, it is a thousand times better than the old lady arranging someone else to be your wife." ”

"What about you?" Li Chengqi's eyes were a little angry, "In order to use the people who can be used to achieve your goal of revenge, you are willing to be a concubine for the rest of your life?" ”

"You treat me well, isn't it enough......" Shen Yan's eyes dodged, showing that she was not confident in her heart. It's just that reason told her that before the child was born, Jiao's trick was realized, and her life would not be easy. Moreover, she didn't want to spend too much energy on such a struggle, she hoped that Li Chengqi would become strong soon.

Thinking of this, her topic returned to Wei Jiuting, "Sister Min Min has always been loved by her second brother, if you marry her, Wei Jiuting will be able to use it for you." ”

"I'm going to use who will have their own way, without relying on the role of a woman!" Li Chengqi turned his back, very annoyed.

"I'm just talking." Things that are still uncertain, Shen Yan doesn't want to make an unpleasant fuss about this, seeing that Li Cheng is angry, she stepped forward, touched his arm with one hand, and said with a smile, "Even if you agree to marry Sister Minmin, Sister Minmin may not be happy to marry you." ”

Li Chengqi didn't calm down the anger in his heart, grabbed her arm suddenly, and asked sternly: "As long as it is valuable, you are happy to see me marry the woman next to you?" (To be continued.) )
