Chapter 65
After leaving the palace, the two carriages that came to pick up people from the Shen Mansion stopped at the side door, and the familiar faces of the family Ding appeared in front of them, and Shen Shuzhao got into the carriage.
Back to the Shen Mansion in the capital, the red wall in July, the eaves of the swallow eaves, the spacious and continuous garden in the house, the magnificence of the big family is fully displayed, and the two stone lions with round pearls and jade on the gold bricks next to the east gate are solemnly watching the horses parked in front of the main gate, as usual.
The old lady was supported by everyone and stood in the center, and when the people in the carriage came down, she suddenly became overjoyed and shouted, "Shuzhao! ”
Shen Shuzhao stepped down from the carriage first, and then the third lady, Shen Xiaozhao, came down, following behind her in a gloomy manner.
Shen Shuzhao took the lead and walked in front of the old lady and gave a big salute to all the Shen family members.
In the eyes of others, Miss Shen Er has not been in the palace for a long time, and she just serves beside the queen mother of the Son of Heaven, but the aura of the whole person has changed a lot.
The old lady squinted in satisfaction, "Son, come in quickly." ”
When she came to the lobby, the old lady took Shen Shu to look left and right, and was reluctant to let go like a baby, and sighed that the second girl had lost a lot of weight, and I don't know if she was not used to living in the palace.
Shen Shuzhao answered every word of care from the old lady, and she looked happy.
The eldest lady and Shen Taisheng both watched behind her, indifferent.
"Is Zhuang Zhao okay in the palace?" The old lady asked.
Shen Shuzhao replied truthfully: "The eldest sister has been taken care of by Mama Xi, and everything is fine." Just a little bit...... The queen mother has a strong temperament, and last night she summoned the eldest sister and Chen Xiaozhu to go to the Jiaofang Hall to copy the scriptures, so that the eldest sister copied them until the next day, and it was really tricky in the future. ”
The old lady's face was very bad when she heard this, she glanced at Shen Taisheng, and said, "How can there be such a thing?" The Xiao family is too deceitful. ”
"After all, the eldest sister is in the capital, so she will naturally summon those palace concubines to be jealous."
"The Xiao family has been involved in a murder case recently, and the Son of Heaven is investigating it strictly, but I didn't expect that I didn't know how to restrain it in private!" The old lady said so indignantly, "His daughter's intention is too obvious to target Zhuang Zhao like this, isn't it because our Shen family is one of the people who handled the case?" ”
Shen Shuzhao's eyes lit up, "Take over?" ”
"The Queen Mother issued an urgent order last night to transfer your eldest brother and Daddy to the position of thoroughly investigating the Xiao family, don't tell the outside world." The old lady squeezed her precious granddaughter's hand and spoke earnestly.
Shen Shuzhao nodded meekly in front of everyone, but no one knew that behind the Queen Mother's order was her idea.
The Queen Mother has always done things quickly, and Shen Shuzhao only finished talking about her worries about the future of the Shen family that night, and the Queen Mother ordered Daddy to intervene, and it seems that she did intend to let him make meritorious contributions.
After a while of greetings, the old lady understood the situation of the eldest sister from Shen Shuzhao, and then turned to the eldest lady and repeatedly told the eldest lady to be cautious when writing a letter to Zhuang Zhao.
The eldest lady also took the opportunity to ask more about the situation in the palace, and from the beginning to the end of the conversation, the Shen family did not look at the third lady
This is the first time that a concubine has been present - Shen Shuzhao is so valued by the elders.
Not only because the favor she received from the Queen Mother spread to the Shen Mansion, but also because the third lady of the Shen family had been abolished.
In the end, even the old lady just glanced at the third lady, and said coldly that the third girl was not right, so she should take care of her heart disease in the hospital, go to the small black room to copy the Buddhist scriptures, and don't go out and walk around at will if she has nothing to do on weekdays, and basically the future of Miss Shen San has been decided.
Shen Xiaozhao's face was like ashes, and he could only accept it.
At this time, the eldest lady spoke up: "Shuzhao, you have returned, so stay in the mansion and serve the old lady with peace of mind." ”
Shen Shuzhao wanted to speak again after hearing this, and then she lightly hooked her lips and a complicated smile appeared.
"It's enough for Shuzhao to serve here, and the rest is for her to stay in the house and reflect." The old lady said.
The eldest lady could only smile awkwardly, "Yes, yes." ”
"Only Shuzhao is the kid next to the old man who is doing it well......" The old lady pulled Shen Shuzhao over, and suddenly her eyes became puzzled, "What's the matter with the injury on your forehead?" ”
Shen Shuzhao pretended to look evasive and replied, "No." After speaking, he also took a few strands of green silk from the side of his ear to cover it more tightly.
The old lady reached out and lifted her hair, revealing a wound that was about to heal, and suddenly said angrily: "This is an injury in the palace?" ”
The eldest lady's face was not good, and so was Shen Xiaozhao next to her.
Shen Shuzhao raised his eyes to look at the eldest lady in a matter-of-fact manner, and then lowered his head and was silent.
In fact, she could have said yes, but she couldn't just be so light on the big lady.
Seeing that the atmosphere was getting more and more wrong, the old lady seemed to understand in her heart, and at this time, Shen Taisheng suddenly said first: "She accidentally bumped it." ”
This sentence was conclusive, and it immediately relieved the encirclement between the eldest lady and Shen Xiaozhao, but Shen Shuzhao was shocked when he heard it.
Father......
She didn't expect Shen Taisheng to do this, is it true that the daughter of the concubine is really worthless?
