Chapter 357: Sisters Gather
"Let's let it go first, go back and let Steward Hu go to the Chang'an Marquis Mansion to reply, I won't go. The pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info" said solemnly.
Nu Xiang paused for a moment and said, "I'm afraid this is not very good, after all, ......"
The half of the sentence that Nu Xiang didn't finish, Shen Chonghuan understood. When she was in the New Year, she had always walked around with the Marquis of Chang'an Mansion very little, and Shen Chongping, the sister in charge of the third-room female dependent, was not there, so if she let Shen Li go around, it would still be inappropriate.
And this post was obviously given to her, so she didn't let her mother go.
"What's wrong, when the eldest lady was here before, didn't our girl go to the Chang'an Hou Mansion much?" Angelica interjected retortively.
"That was before, the eldest lady was in the house before, and Mrs. Chang'an Hou was kind to our eldest lady with her own eyes, and now our eldest lady is ......" Huansha blocked Angelica's sentence.
Angelica was silent at the moment, and pursed his lips with self-reproach.
"When was the post?" Shen Zhonghuan asked.
"It's the eighth day of the new year, the Valley Day Festival, and it's a good day to release life and pray for blessings. This post asks the girl to go to the Faxiang Temple to offer incense. Nuxiang said.
Shen Chonghuan repeated softly: "Faxiang Temple? ”
Nu Xiang nodded, and handed the post to Shen Chonghuan at the end of his words.
Huansha asked at this time: "If the third lady doesn't go, can you think about what reason to find it?" ”
"Let's just say, I'm not in good shape, I can't go." Shen Chonghuan said casually.
Nu Xiang frowned and objected: "The girl's body has always been healthy, and on this festive day, I don't want to tell such a lie." The slave maid saw that it was not as good as this, and invited Miss Xue Fubiao over, and then said that this day had bumped into each other, and no one should be offended. ”
"That's a good idea, you can give it a try." Huansha also said.
Shen Chonghuan hummed and ordered: "Then you immediately let someone go to Xue Mansion for a trip." ”
Nu Xiang nodded, and after taking the suit, he asked people to send a message to Miss Xue Jiabiao.
——
After the first day of the new year, a few more days passed, and it was the eighth day of the new year. Dayan's snow also stopped.
Shen Chonghuan waited for the cousin of the Xue family to come over in Fangju, and on the second day of the new year, the eldest brother Shen Chongan took the little girl and the festival ceremony to the Guogong Mansion, and she followed her mother to entertain guests in the house.
One went over, and it was time for lunch, but there was no carriage for the cousin of the Xue family. Shen Chonghuan was a little anxious, and asked Xiang Nuxiang: "Who did you send to Xue Mansion?" Can you explain it clearly? ”
Nu Xiang also looked at the door of the east chamber with her own girl: "The slave maid asked Cangshu to report the news." He looks a little poorer, but he is still reliable. ”
"Then wait a little longer." Shen Zhonghuan said.
After several hours, it was not until the concierge at the next hour that a little maid hurriedly came to spread the message.
This little maid Nuxiang knows, and she is a second-class maid next to Miss Xue Jiabiao, named Liu Qing. With a disc face, thin eyebrows and long eyes, and a slight figure, he looks like a steady person.
Steward Hu asked the little maid to lead her directly to Fangju, and when Nu Xiang saw it, the two of them saw each other.
Liu Qing asked in a friendly voice, "Is Miss Cousin here?" ”
"The girl is here, I've been waiting for your young lady, I haven't seen anyone come today, is something wrong?" Nuka asked.
Liu Qing nodded, and only said, "I'll go in and talk to Miss Biao directly." ”
So Nu Xiang picked up a cotton curtain for her, and Liu Qing gave Shen Chonghuan a salute, and said: "Miss Cousin asked our girl to come and walk around today, but unfortunately, I went out this morning, and somehow, the wheel of the carriage broke." The girl threw out of the carriage and twisted her feet. ”
"Is that serious? Can you find a doctor? Shen Chonghuan's face changed, and he asked hurriedly.
"Looked. The doctor said that it hurt the bones, and he couldn't get out of bed for ten days and half a month, so he had to be raised. I'm afraid that Miss Cousin is in a hurry, so the girl will send the slave to report to you. Liu Qing said.
"That being the case, then I'll go with you to see Sister Xu. There are also some good medicines for bruises and sprains in the Rejuvenation Pavilion, and I will bring them with me. ”
Liu Qing hurriedly waved her hand: "No, no, the girl is afraid of worrying the third miss, so let the doctor see it at this time, and only then dare to let the slave and maid come over." ”
"Then, that, Nu Xiang, you go to the Rejuvenation Pavilion and ask Steward Li to bring those external medicines for bruises and sprains. Go back and ask Liu Qing to bring these things back to Sister Xu. Shen Chonghuan said at Nu Xiang.
Liu Qing hurriedly thanked her: "The slave has thanked Miss Cousin for my young lady." ”
"It's really not good at this time, I guess it's tiring to toss Sister Xue for a while. You go back first, change Ming'er, I'll go to the house to see Sister Xu. Shen Zhonghuan said.
Liu Qing retreated and went to get the medicine with Nuxiang.
On this hind foot, Angelica hurriedly lifted the cotton curtain from the outer compartment of the east chamber, and rushed in with hot smoke: "Girl, girl, someone is coming!" It's coming! ”
"Who's coming? You speak slowly! Shen Chonghuan looked at Angelica's breathless appearance, and said in a harmonious voice, but he had a bad premonition in his heart.
"Girl, it's this, it's Miss Shen from the Marquis of Chang'an, the second girl, the third girl, and the girl from our big room, Miss Fei, Miss Yan, the one in the second room, in short, all here." Angelica took a breath before spitting out the words all at once.
Shen Chonghuan frowned: "Why are you here?" ”
"No, Madame said, let the slave and maid come and send you a message." Angelica Dao.
Shen Changze, the uncle of the Marquis of Chang'an, and Shen Gao, the uncle and mother, have a son and a daughter. The second son, Shen Chongtao, is four years older than Brother Kang, and is the most favored in the Chang'an Hou Mansion, and the rest of Shen Chongxi and Shen Chonglin are all concubines, born by the aunts in the house. They are all a year or two older than her.
As for the Shen Mansion big house, Shen Cui's family and his uncle Shen Changlin have two daughters and a son, Shen Chongyou said first, she is the eldest daughter of the big house, and there is a sister Shen Chongyan at the bottom, who is the most lively and active. Brother Shen Chongwen is the largest one in the big house, and he has married in the late spring of the fiftieth year of Dayan Guangde, surnamed He, the third daughter of He University of Hanlin Academy, and knows everything about piano, chess, calligraphy and painting.
Back then, this incident also made Shen Cui's family proud in front of a group of women for a while, after all, she was a noble woman from a scholarly family, and everyone had to praise it. But the days after getting married were not very happy. That Shen He relied on his own literacy and hyphenation, and he had some talent in his belly, so he didn't take Shen Chongwen very seriously, and he was arrogant.
Locked up in the study all day long, dancing and writing, he compared himself to Li Yi'an, a talented woman in the Great Song Dynasty, and he didn't care about the general affairs in the big house. That Shen Chongwen is a hard-tempered person with strong blood, blowing soft and not accepting hardness, coupled with Shen He's pretentiousness and high spirits, he likes to put Shen Chongwen aside, and after a long time, there are frequent conflicts between husband and wife.
