Chapter 128: Public Opinion
Although Mama Lu didn't know what Fang Shuangshuang was going to do, she still took it seriously. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
Hearing this, Fang Shuangshuang took out a red gold bracelet from the box next to the dresser and handed it to Mama Lu: "If the silver is not enough, let's hinge this too." ”
This bracelet was just given to Fang Shuangshuang by the Fang clan today, and Mama Lu hurriedly pushed it away when she saw this: "Miss, this is what Old Madam Shen just rewarded today, you just hinged it like this, if you let Old Madam Shen know how to do it." ”
Fang Shuangshuang smiled indifferently: "Grandmother Gu won't know, just take it, if this errand is done, we won't have to be restrained in the future." As he spoke, he stuffed it into Mama Lu's hand, then got up and went behind the screen to change into sleeping silk clothes and pants.
Since Fang Shuangshuang was taken to the outskirts of Beijing by Mama Yu, the silver on her body has been searched*, except for some jewelry that Fang bought for her, and even two sets of red gold heads have been looted away by Liu after entering Beijing. As for the Fang family letting the Liu family get the dowry, they didn't even see it.
Now, except for the jewelry in exchange for some silver, she has nothing on her.
But there are still more places to use silver in the future, so she has to let Mama Lu sell all the jewelry.
Although these are the only valuable items she has left, as long as it is done, she will no longer have to worry about these, and those things that have been sold will naturally be recovered several times.
The next day, the Fang family couldn't wait to let people invite Fang Youwei and his wife to come over, although Fang Youwei and his wife were disappointed that Shen Jinhua was not a big house, but thinking that although the second room of the Shen family could not inherit the title, fortunately, Shen Wenshan was also capable, thinking that the second room must also be rich.
So I also agreed with joy, and as soon as I came out of the Shen Mansion, there was even more rumors, saying that the second room of the Shen family and the Fang family were interested in kissing.
For a while, it spread all over the capital. Of course, the people in Beijing are naturally not so interested in the family affairs of the second room of the Shen family, and everyone is concerned. The young lady of the Fang family who wanted to marry the Shen family was the Fang Shuangshuang who had promised Bo Changhou the son before, and before she got married, Bo Changhou's family was demoted to concubines, and the marriage was over.
Some people who are well-informed don't know where to learn that this Miss Fang is the niece and granddaughter of Old Madam Shen's mother's family. Originally, he lived in the Shen family for a period of time.
So the troubled people made up countless books. It is said that Fang Shuangshuang and Shen Jinxi, one is a young girl with a young spring, and the other is a merry boy. In the Shen family, the two are happy. was opposed by his parents, and now he finally has a lover who finally becomes a family.
There are also ugly words, saying that Fang Shuangshuang is a person who does not know the inspection, and Shen Jinxi is also a prodigal child. Fang Shuangshuang lived in the Shen family. Something happened with the second young master of the Shen family, which made the Shen family can't wait to find someone for Fang Shuangshuang. That's why I got married. Unexpectedly, it was a family affair, Fang Shuangshuang took the opportunity to go back to the Shen family, as soon as the young man and girl met, they did something shameful while the elders were away. It's even more of a dark bead fetus. After the elders of the Shen family found out, they had no choice but to let the second young master of the Shen family take a concubine before marrying a wife. Yes, concubines. The most talked-about thing is that Fang Shuangshuang has been passed on for so long, but she is just a concubine.
There are even more than a dozen such statements. For a while, it became the talk of the streets.
At this time, I don't know who broke out that the Shen family was discussing marriage with the Huang family. It was the second young master of the Shen family and the precious granddaughter of General Huang who were discussing, and there was an uproar for a while, and the voices of the Shen family could be heard in all the major teahouses and restaurants in the capital.
even turned out Shen Jinxi's lack of learning and idleness in Yuezhou.
When the Shen family heard that except for the Fang family's indifference, the faces of the others all changed in anger. Shen Yue was afraid that Shen Jinxi would be impulsive and give birth to something bad, so he directly asked him to practice with the soldiers in the Ten Thousand Cavalry Battalion. Send someone to find out who really sent these words.
The words soon spread to the Huang family, and when Mrs. Huang heard the rumors, she dropped the most precious hundred sons and thousands of grandsons painted pottery cups, and the old general Huang saw the Shen family earlier, and the nose was not the nose and the eyes were not the eyes.
Let Shen Yue and Shen Wenshan brothers, have words of suffering. finally survived to the next dynasty, Shen Yue just wanted to make it clear to Huang Xiong, so he heard Huang Xiong snort coldly from his nose, and said in a strange way: "Dingbeihou's grandson is about to marry a beautiful woman, congratulations!" Since we have made a marriage contract, let's act as if we haven't said anything, don't ruin my granddaughter's reputation. After saying that, he flicked his sleeves and left. The father and son of the Shen family looked at each other. ”
At the same time, news came from the palace that Concubine Yang Xian had died.
Concubine Yang Xian is the only link between Lao Chengguo and Shen Yue, at the beginning, Concubine Yang Xian insisted on holding on to her breath, and she also wanted Zhao Heng and Shen Yuqiao to marry her, that is, to tie the Shen family to Zhao Heng together.
Even if Concubine Yang Xian knew that Shen Yuqiao was only the daughter of the Shen family's third room, this relationship could still collapse at an important juncture. But now she can't care about so much, she just needs to be in the eyes of others, the Shen family is the prince's foreign family, and it is the same as the prince.
So when Concubine Yang Xian was dying, she took Shen Yuqiao's hand and said: "Yuqiao promised her mother that no matter what happens in the future, you must remember your identity, you are the crown princess!" ”
This is to warn Shen Yuqiao that even if it is the Shen family when necessary, it must be abandoned. If you are the crown princess, you are no longer the daughter of the Shen family.
Shen Yuqiao nodded in response, this son was bought by herself with her life, she naturally will not forget, and she will not allow anyone to seek her identity as the crown princess.
When the news of Concubine Yang Xian's death reached the Shen family, it was already afternoon, Shen Yuxiao was about to go to Huang's house, and when she got on the sedan chair, she saw Yao Huang, the maid brought into the palace by Shen Yuqiao, came back, and saw Shen Yuxiao and Su Shi saluting respectfully: "I have seen the second lady and the third lady, Concubine Yang Xian died at noon today, and the princess asked the slave to come back to report the news." ”
Hearing this, Su Shi frowned slightly and waved his hand: "Old Marquis, they are all inside, you can go in." ”
"Yes." Yao Huang heard the words and entered the Shen Mansion.
Su Shi glanced at Shen Yuxiao, but there was worry in his eyes. Shen Yuxiao naturally knew what she was worried about, in the palace, she had always been a mother who was declining, and Concubine Yang Xian was now gone, so I don't know if she would shake Zhao Heng's position.
After all, Emperor Fengqing said that he would pass on the throne to Zhao Heng, but he did not take action for a long time, coupled with the change of Concubine Yang Xian. The Shen family and the crown prince are now standing together in the eyes of outsiders, and if the prince's status is unstable, he will also be connected to the Shen family.
Su didn't want Shen Yuxiao to think too much. told her to be careful on the road and come back early, so she let Shen Yuxiao get into the sedan chair.
At noon today, Shen Yuxiao had just had lunch, and Ah Nuan next to Huang Qiong came over and sent a post to Shen Yuxiao. said that Huang Qiong invited her to come over and talk.
Although the Su family did not mention it in front of Shen Yuxiao, the Shen family and the Huang family intended to marry each other, and planned to let Shen Jinxi marry Huang Qiong. But from what Huang Qiong said before. and Su's current attitude towards Huang Qiong. She guessed it too.
Now because of Fang Shuangshuang's matter, the entire capital is in an uproar, and the Huang family naturally won't know about it.
Originally, the Su family had the intention of letting Shen Yuxiao go to the Huang family to see the situation. But with Huang Xiong's attitude in the court, I am afraid that the Huang family is very unkind to see the Shen family now, so he did not dare to let Shen Yuxiao go rashly. Unexpectedly, Huang Qiong sent a post at noon, and Shen Yuxiao naturally put down other things. I'm going to Huangfu with Shui Hua.
Su was afraid that Shen Yuxiao didn't know the truth, so he chased him out. said very vaguely that they planned to betrothal Shen Jinxi and Huang Qiong, so that Shen Yuxiao had a little bottom in her heart.
After watching Shen Yuxiao's sedan chair go out of the gate of the Shen Mansion, the Su family took Liuli back. Now this trend of rumors outside. It was almost overwhelmed for her, and she could only hope that Shen Yuxiao would go well to the Huang family.
Not only the Su family, but now even Shen Yue knew that Huang Qiong invited Shen Yuxiao over. are of particular concern. This series of developments always made him feel strange. It's as if someone is pushing it in the dark. Otherwise, there are so many new things in Beijing every day, why did the matter of his Shen family become a topic of discussion for everyone, and the Huang family was bitten.
In addition, this morning, in the court, Huang Xiong's attitude was too eccentric. With Shen Yue and Huang Xiong's understanding for so many years, this relationship has not yet been decided after all, but the two of them like it. If it is a fuss, according to Huang Xiong's shameless temperament, he will naturally not admit it.
And Huang Xiong is like this today, but he is sitting on the facts, the Huang family and the Shen family are indeed discussing marriage, and he still attaches great importance to this family business, so he is particularly angry.
No matter how Shen Yue looked at it, he felt that Huang Xiong was doing it to others, so when he heard the news that Huang Qiong had given Shen Yuxiao a post, he specially asked the housekeeper to come over and ask.
If Shen Yuxiao goes to the Huang family smoothly this time, it also reflects the attitude of the Huang family from the side.
Shen Yuxiao didn't think about it so much, she was thinking about Huang Qiong. Judging from Huang Qiong's performance when she saw Shen Jinxi last time, Huang Qiong was afraid that she was in her heart, but now she doesn't know how sad she is when she hears this kind of news.
The sedan chair went all the way out of Shen's mansion and went directly to Chengbei Street, followed the sedan chair outside the water bloom, and suddenly approached the sedan chair and shouted to Shen Yuxiao: "Miss, look." ”
Shen Yuxiao lifted the curtain when she heard this, looked at Shui Hua's line of sight, and saw that Mama Lu was talking to the two eye-catching people. Then he handed them a purse, and Shen Yuxiao's heart slammed into a slam when she saw this.
Could it be that the news that is boiling in Beijing now is Mama Lu making trouble behind her back and letting people spread it?
I can't help but think of Fang Shuangshuang, Mama Lu is Fang Shuangshuang's grandmother, and what she does is naturally instructed by Fang Shuangshuang. But creating such public opinion is not good for Fang Shuangshuang.
Shen Yuxiao couldn't think about it for a while, but she kept an eye in her heart, but now she needs to go to Huangfu first, so she has to wait until she comes back and let someone check it.
If she really found out that Fang Shuangshuang had something to do with this public opinion, she would never be soft again this time.
It didn't take long for the sedan chair to arrive at the Huang Mansion, and Ah Nuan was already waiting at the door, and when she saw Shen Yuxiao's sedan chair coming over, she hurriedly stepped forward to greet her: "I've seen Miss Shen San." ”
Shui Hua helped Shen Yuxiao get down from the sedan chair, and Ah Nuan led Shen Yuxiao in with a smile. Because she had been here many times, Shen Yuxiao followed Ah Nuan with a familiar car, and the group went to the main house where Mrs. Huang lived first.
Old Madam Huang was drinking tea in the house, and when she saw Shen Yuxiao coming in, she was nothing unusual. As if he didn't know what was going on outside, he asked Shen Yuxiao about her daily life, and saw Huang Qiong trotting in all the way.
"Why don't you go and tell me first when Xiao'er comes." As soon as Huang Qiong came in, she blamed Shen Yuxiao for not going to her first. Then he raised his eyes and looked at Mrs. Huang, and saw that Mrs. Huang looked at them very kindly, just like the two of them a few days ago.
Especially Mrs. Huang looked at Huang Qiong's eyes, as if she had seen through her mind at once, and suddenly made her a little embarrassed: "Grandmother." ”
Seeing this, Mrs. Huang looked at her doting and scolded with a smile: "You girl, can grandmother Xiao'er still wronged her." I wanted to come over to relieve her in such a hurry, and I haven't seen you so concerned about it on weekdays. ”
Huang Qiong was told the central matter, and suddenly blushed, and snuggled up to Mrs. Huang to be coquettish.
Shen Yuxiao didn't understand anything when she saw this, Huang Qiong was afraid that because of the public opinion outside, Mrs. Huang had an opinion on the Shen family, and she would not have good fruit to eat when she came to visit at this time.
So as soon as she heard that she had come to the main house first, she hurriedly ran over, for fear that Old Madam Huang would reproach her.
Old Madam Huang looked at Huang Qiong and Shen Yuxiao, and said with a smile: "Okay, okay, if you little sisters have anything to say, just go down and say it." I still want to drink tea well, and I will let you lose the slightest quietness. ”
When Huang Qiong heard this, she immediately smiled at Old Madam Huang and said, "Then Qiong'er and Xiao'er will retire first, and after speaking, they will pull Shen Yuxiao out of the main house." ”
As soon as she entered Huang Qiong's Qionghua Garden, Huang Qiong asked Ah Nuan Ah Hao to take Shui Hua down to eat tea, and then pulled Shen Yuxiao to sit down at the table, and asked straight to the point: "Xiao'er, are the rumors outside true?" ”
Hearing Huang Qiong speak, Shen Yuxiao was relieved, and Huang Qiong could still say it, which meant that she was okay in her heart. At the moment, he pondered and spoke: "The rumors outside that I want to give my brother a noble concubine are true, but my grandmother forced me, and I don't know why there was such a fuss." ”
Hearing Shen Yuxiao say that she really wanted to give Shen Jinxi a concubine, Huang Qiong's face darkened. Originally, she was also shocked when she got the news, when she was in Chongwenmen and Shen Yuxiao to welcome Shen Yue and them back to court, Shen Jinxi's eyes on the horse completely fell on her heart.
Later, when she heard Huang Xiong and Mrs. Huang talking and intended to marry her to Shen Jinxi, she didn't mention how happy she was. couldn't help but talk to Shen Yuxiao, what he didn't expect was to hear the news that he was going to give Shen Jinxi a concubine.
Although Mrs. Huang still asked her to speak for this reason, she said intentionally or unintentionally that it is common for men to have three wives and four concubines. Although she understands, she also hopes that she will be able to be a couple for the rest of her life in the future. Only then did I think of calling Shen Yuxiao over to ask, or maybe there was something else to hide. Unexpectedly, Shen Yuxiao directly admitted the matter, how to tell her not to be lost.
Seeing that Huang Qiong's thoughts were written on her face, Shen Yuxiao took Huang Qiong's hand: "If my cousin is still willing to be Xiao'er's sister-in-law, just wait, Fang Shuangshuang will not be able to enter my Shen family." ”
Hearing this, Huang Qiong raised her head suddenly, realizing that Shen Yuxiao was willing to be her sister-in-law, she instantly blushed again, and said angrily: "Is it up to you to decide this?" ”
Shen Yuxiao knew that she was ashamed, and said with a smile: "What I said doesn't count, don't you still have a father and mother." Saying that, he approached Huang Qiong and whispered: "Cousin, my mother is 10,000 satisfied with your daughter-in-law, how can I let my cousin be wronged." ”
In a word, Huang Qiong's face was even redder and could drip blood. (To be continued.) )
