Chapter 080: The First Day
From Mrs. Jiao, down to the big maids and stewards in all the rooms and courtyards of the Hou Mansion, they all gathered in Fushoutang. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 However, no one dressed decently because this time they were going to see a concubine, and Fukujudo was even less angry than usual.
Shen Yan was accompanied by Xiyu and Xianglan under the guidance of Mama Cui, and before she entered the door, she saw Jiao's gloomy face. She didn't pay attention to it, just went in, and showed the proper etiquette with good manners.
Jiao glanced at the big red plum blossom on Shen Yan's head, and Jiao Huaiyu pretended to be surprised very cooperatively and asked, "Auntie, why is she wearing a red plum at this time?" ”
Jiao sneered and teased: "During the period of great mourning, the emperor's grandson and nobles have to mourn, and those with status will not wear red and green, which is a respect for the emperor and an honor." However, those who are lowly do not have such qualifications. She is the daughter of a criminal minister, and a servant bought by the Hou Mansion, and she has hairpins and red plums, which is understandable. ”
Hearing this, Li Chengqi immediately walked up to Shen Yan and said loudly intentionally: "You are my woman Ning Anhou, how can you wear red ornaments during the mourning period?" His words were serious, but he was trying to win back face and status for Shen Yan.
However, listening to his words, Shen Yan was indifferent, and she did not feel insulted at all. She smiled and said calmly: "After I was originally poor, I didn't rely on the Hou Ye's false name and acted as a noble person." ”
The meaning of her words was understood by everyone present.
Speaking of which, Emperor Wen himself was born as a peasant, and there are few talents who are reused when fighting the country, such as Shen Shichong, Li Chengqi's father Li Kuo, and Jiao's father. But a merchant, if not his brother's daughter. That is, the current Empress Dowager Minjia has been loved by Emperor Wen, where can his Jiao family have the opportunity for chickens and dogs to ascend to heaven?
Shen Yan's words traced back to the source. I have to teach people to recall the past.
"Shen Shiyan'er!" Jiao Huaiyu couldn't hide the unhappiness in his heart, and immediately shouted, "You think you are still the daughter of the former prime minister, and you speak so tricky!" ”
Shen Yan lowered her eyebrows and was pleasing to her eyes, but she turned a deaf ear and didn't even look at her.
Jiao Huaiyu's words were released for a long time and she didn't respond, and she couldn't hold it on her face, and for a while she was blue and white, and she wanted to step forward and tear her. Jiao Shi gave her a blank look. signaled her to calm down, then glanced at Shen Yan, suddenly held her forehead, and said with a look of annoyance: "Your Shen family is originally the enemy of my Li family, you will stay in the Imperial Fragrance Garden in the future, don't run around if you have nothing to do, lest the people in the Hou Mansion see you and show you a look." ”
Shen Yan glanced at Li Chengqi, and the hatred in her eyes. It's like saying, now, you have successfully avenged the Li family. Li Chengqi seemed to understand her thoughts, and frowned slightly. He was only afraid. This knot is in her heart, and it will never be untied.
"Alright, let's all go to the dining room." At all costs. For the sake of his son, this reunion dinner still has to be eaten. Jiao Shi was supported by Yuerong to get up, and Jiao Huaiyu followed closely.
"Let's go." Li Chengqi took Shen Yan's hand.
Shen Yan didn't know. He treated himself like this because he was afraid that he would be looked down upon. If my father had not been persecuted for his instigation, how could she not be grateful for the way he treated herself? She pulled out her hand and retreated to his flank, letting him go first as a concubine.
"Let's go." Li Chengqi's voice was extremely gloomy, but he still grabbed her forcefully and led her to the dining room.
Li Chengmao and Jiao Huaiqing each glanced at the two. Jiao Huaiqing quickly whispered: "Cousin really gives face to the Shen family...... Shen? He suddenly looked a little puzzled, "What should I call her?" Do you want to respect your cousin and sister-in-law? ”
Li Chengmao didn't make a sound, just listened to a joke.
Since the Li family is not large, there is only one round table in the dining room. However, this has taken a lot of the trouble out of many people's homes.
Li Chengqi pulled Shen Yan and sat down beside him. Seeing their loving appearance, Jiao Huaiyu felt unhappy. She thought to herself: When she becomes Mrs. Hou, she will definitely want her to look good!
The atmosphere at the dinner table was very dull, and no one said a word for a long time. In order to ease the atmosphere, Li Chengmao said: "Our family has not sat down to eat together for a long time. ”
"yes!" Jiao Huaiqing responded, "If it weren't for my cousin's sister-in-law, I'm afraid this meal would not be eaten until the wedding of Huaiyu and her cousin." ”
He said "cousin sister-in-law", and Jiao and Jiao Huaiyu immediately glared when they heard it. Jiao's even looked at Jiao Huaiqing with a stern look, "It's just a concubine, calling her cousin-in-law, wouldn't it be a mistake?" ”
Jiao Huaiqing hurriedly smiled, "It's my nephew who is confused." ”
It wasn't until this moment that Shen Yan didn't know how Jiao Huaiqing said this. He just used Jiao's mouth to teach Li Chengqi a lesson--Your wife is my sister Jiao Huaiyu. Shen Yan can never be me and Cheng Mao's sister-in-law.
Li Chengqi ignored their conversation. He only intimately sandwiched the dishes for Shen Yan, "Listen to Xiyu, you like to eat the meat on the fish belly the most, eat more." ”
Feeling Jiao Huaiyu's jealous gaze, Shen Yan deliberately smiled at Li Chengqi, showing her shyness.
Her reaction made Li Chengqi energetic. Then he served her soup again, and asked her to be careful of scalding, and his mouth was full of warm words. Up and down the Hou Mansion, how have you ever seen him treat a person so gently and considerately?
"I'm full!" Jiao Huaiyu finally turned red with anger, put down the dishes and chopsticks and ran away.
"Alas!" Jiao sighed, put down the dishes and chopsticks, and said to Yuerong, "Send me back to the room." ”
The aunt and nephew expressed their dissatisfaction in this way. As soon as the two left, Shen Yan wiped her mouth with a handkerchief and said with satisfaction: "I'm full." Hou Ye, Second Master, Cousin, you eat slowly. With that, she left the table and exited the dining room with Mama Cui and Xi Yulanxiang.
Her relaxed and unembarrassed posture made Li Chengqi happy, Li Chengmao admired, and Jiao Huaiqing was surprised.
When she returned to the Imperial Fragrance Garden, the night had completely enveloped Ning'an City. Instead of going back to the house, she went to the fish viewing platform by the pond. She instructed Lan Xiang to bring her some fish food for herself.
Hearing that the young lady was going to feed the fish when it was dark, Xiyu knew that she was not happy. She wanted to say a few thoughtful words to her, but she didn't do it. She only hurriedly shouted to Lan Xiang who ran away: "Lan Xiang." By the way, will you bring my lady's cloak too? As before, she always takes care of the details of Shen Yan's life.
"Mrs. Shen fed the fish. Just go back to the house to freshen up early, and the Hou Ye is afraid that he will come over later. Mama Cui reminded softly on the side.
Shen Yan was shocked: Will Ning Anhou ...... to himself Think about it. She frowned. After that, Mama Cui urged her again, but she refused to go back to the house. In the end, Mama Cui was in a hurry, so she sent her away, leaving Xiyu to take care of her.
After a long time, Li Chengqi did not come, and Shen Yan's anxious heart gradually became soothed.
Looking at the bleak night, she quickly threw herself into a lonely and sad mood. couldn't extricate herself, she didn't even know that Xiyu reported that "Hou Ye is here", so that when Li Chengqi came to her, she trembled violently and palpitated.
Seeing Li Chengqi's funny look at herself, she couldn't help but glance at Xiyu, intending to blame her for not reporting it.
Xiyu pouted and muttered softly: "I reported that you didn't hear ......"
Li Chengqi waved his hand at Xiyu and asked her to retreat, and then he asked Shen Yan: "This Imperial Fragrance Garden." Do you like it? ”
Shen Yan didn't say anything to him, and asked directly: "Come so late, what are you looking for me?" ”
"Tonight is a good day for the two of us, of course I want to accompany you." When Li Chengqi spoke. A smile that doesn't hide the corners of her lips.
"Do you really think of me as your concubine?" Shen Yan looked at him contemptuously.
Li Chengqi didn't care, and suddenly reached out to wrap his hand around her waist and let her close to his body. Not without playfulness, he whispered to her: "I treat you as my woman." Immediately, he hugged her in shock. In front of Mama Cui, Xiyu and many others, he walked straight to the inner room of the bright room.
Shen Yan was so shocked that her face was pale. She didn't expect it. Li Chengqi really wants to do something to himself! She thought that they had agreed that her entry into the Hou Mansion as a concubine was just an expedient measure, and he would not touch his body. When no one was in the inner room, she began to struggle, "You can't be untrustworthy! Don't touch me! I'm An Yangping's wife......"
As everyone knows, Li Chengqi only had the intention of scaring her and showing her subordinates, but when he heard her say that she was An Yangping's wife, he paused-what he didn't like to hear was that she said such things.
"As long as you are in my Hou Mansion for a day, you can't mention An Yangping's name to me." He looked at Shen Yan's frightened face in his arms, and said coldly, "How can I say it, now I am your man, and your name as a husband is disrespectful to me." ”
Shen Yan felt aggrieved, but looking at his serious face, she didn't dare to speak up. She only begged him not to touch her body, because she was determined to go to Nanzhao to find An Yangping.
Li Chengqi put her on the bed, pulled out the red plum hairpin in her hair, and threw it on the desk at random. Shen Yan sat up, looked at him vigilantly, and finally said in a voice that became a little softer: "You promised me that you would let me leave the Hou Mansion if you had the chance." ”
"But I didn't say I wouldn't touch you." Li Chengqi looked at her tightly, making it impossible to tell whether it was scare or real.
"You promised me......" Shen Yan said and wanted to escape from the bed, but was finally stopped by him. Her reaction was suddenly like a frightened cat, as if the next move of the man who stopped her was about to eat herself. She looked at him and emphasized again: "You can't be untrustworthy!" ”
Seeing her like this, Li Chengqi was even more annoyed, and wanted to ignore anything, but he went against her will and asked her, so that she would have no face to see that An Yangping again.
Thinking so, he leaned over, covered her lips like a torch, and pressed her to the bed, locked under him, and immobilized her. And when his lips touched her softness and sweetness, he couldn't help but make the next move.
