Chapter 111: Breaking the Balance
Shen Jingyi pursed her lips, it was very simple, because in his previous life, he lost 5,000 yuan in treasure money, and then borrowed money from her, but he didn't expect to be seen by the eldest lady's maid, so he was chased by the eldest lady and beaten all over the yard.
"If you don't want to lose, do as I say."
Shen Cong suddenly sat up straight, peeked at the eldest lady, and saw that she didn't look at them, so he moved over, "How to do it?" ”
Shen Jingyi also moved closer and whispered a few words in her ear. Shen Nan, who was still good at ear next to him, raised his eyebrows when he heard this, but just smiled slightly.
"Really? What if I lose? ”
"If you lose, I'll pay you."
"What do you say......" Shen Cong just wanted to say what you said, but when he saw Shen Nan's eyes glancing at him, he immediately changed his words again: "Ahem...... As a brother, how can I ask you to compensate! ”
It's really eccentric.
"Don't worry, listen to me, yes."
Shen Cong was still a little hesitant, but since she said so, he couldn't refute her face, so he just gave it a try.
On the day of the Dragon Boat Festival, the people in the fourth room ate a few zongzi with the old lady in Jiashan Hall, and Shen Nan went out with the juniors who were chattering excitedly.
Xiao Zhou watched with a blank eye, but unfortunately her belly was getting bigger, and she couldn't go out at all, so she had to go back with Shen Ruilin.
Sitting in the carriage, the weather was a little hot, and even the wind was already hot in the middle of the hour.
Jiyunlou said that it was not far away, and it was not close to it, and it was an hour to go.
"Fortunately, I brought an ice basin, otherwise, it would have been rude to Jiyun Tower."
Shen Minru sat in the same carriage as Shen Jingyi, and saw her take a bowl of mung bean soup handed by Pearl and put it in Shen Jingyi's hand.
"Thank you!" She took a sip of the mung bean soup, maybe some ice, and she frowned.
Shen Minru was careful, "What's wrong?" But it doesn't fit? ”
"It's a little icy."
"My bowl is fine, why don't you drink this bowl first!" She handed herself to her, took her the night she gave Pearl, and asked Pearl to make the bowl again.
For her hospitality, Shen Jingyi did not refuse, it should be said that this is the balance point in the house.
She's not going to be the one to break that balance.
"It seems that there are a lot of people today."
Lifting the curtain and looking at it, it was more lively outside than usual, in addition to those gorgeous carriages, there were many street vendors selling all kinds of things, and it looked fresh.
She took a deep breath and felt so good going out.
Shen Minru followed her gaze and said with a smile: "It's nothing, when you get to Jiyun Tower, it's even more lively!" ”
Jingyi was also interested, put down the curtain and said, "You have also been to watch the dragon boat race?" ”
"Of course! When my brother was still at home, he once took me to see it, and I remember that the gongs and drums were noisy, and the dragon boat was so fast that it was ...... With ......" she didn't know how to describe it.
Shen Jingyi smiled slightly, "It's like a broken arrow, fast, isn't it?" ”
"Yes," Shen Minru nodded, "Has the second brother been there too?" ”
"No," she said, "I listened to the second brother and the third brother." ”
Shen Minru was stunned, so it was not surprising.
"I heard that this year's Chengguo Mansion competition was trained by Chen Shizi." Shen Minru said as if unintentionally.
Jingyi raised her head, "Chen Yu? ”
Shen Minru nodded.
"Now everyone in the capital is betting on which one will win the first place this time, who does the second sister think has a greater grasp?"
"This kind of thing, how can I, a boudoir woman, know."
"Also, it's me who talks too much."
Shen Jingyi smiled and shook her head.
After about an hour, the carriage stopped, Jiyunlou arrived, Pearl got off first, and Shen Jingyi came out before Shen Minru, only then did he know that so many people had come.
Across the curtain, she saw the carriage in front of Jiyun Tower, and many official ladies and sons got down from the carriage and walked towards Jiyun Tower one by one.
Shen Nan came to her, "Tired?" ”
"Fortunately, there are so many people today." Much more than she had seen in her previous life.
Shen Nan smiled, "Let's go, let's go in first!" ”
The three of them followed the team of the Shen Mansion together and came to the first pear flower hall on the second floor. The private room is relatively large, and it is more than enough for a group of about 20 people to come in.
I sat down at the dark lacquered table by the window, and immediately a maid brought tea, thinking that I had come over to order it earlier.
"It's hot, drink some warm water to quench your thirst." Shen Nan poured her a cup.
"Second brother, I want to ...... too" Shen Rui chewed something in his mouth and sat down inarticulately. He took out the things in his arms, "Taste it, the dragon whisker crisp, it's delicious." ”
No wonder he had a mouthful of white powder, Shen Jingyi smiled, "I said, why did you disappear in the blink of an eye, I went to buy this." ”
"I would have liked to buy more, there are still flower cakes there!"
"Eat less things outside, and beware of going back to your stomach."
Shen Nan couldn't help but speak.
Shen Rui and Shen Jingyi were both good, and the two of them pouted, stunned to separate the dragon beard under his gaze.
After a while, Shen Cong also came back, his eyes lit up, and he pounced when he saw Jingyi.
"Good sister, if you win this time, my brother will take you to eat and drink spicy food."
"Third brother, my grandmother heard what you said, beware of picking your skin."
"Go, what nonsense?"
"I'm telling the truth......"
The two squabbled.
Shen Jingyi looked out the window at the river, where there were already dragon boats on it, and gongs and drums were ringing in unison.
The surrounding people gathered around the river, men and women, all in masks with joyful colors.
Shen Jingyi actually didn't understand, what was there to be happy about these people!
"It seems to be starting soon." Shen Nan said.
"Second brother, who does you think will win the top spot this year?"
"Why are you curious about this?"
"Ask!"
Shen Nan pondered for a while, his eyes wandered to the families on the river, "If there is no accident, the Chengguo family will win." ”
"Oh? Is the second brother so sure? "She knew it was because of her previous life, and Shen Nan knew it because of what?
Could it be that someone is manipulating?
"It's very simple," he said, raising his hand and pointing at the family, "You see, the red one is the Zhenguo Mansion, and the Zhenguo Mansion is a group of reckless men, and it is not bad to have great strength, and it is not impossible to fight for the moment, and even enter the last circle." However, they will definitely not win the first place. ”
Shen Jingyi looked at the red dragon boat, and sure enough, there were some strong people, and the sinking degree of the dragon boat was deeper than the dragon boat next to it.
"The orange ones are waiting for the family, their family is purely here to join in the fun, and they can only enter the second circle every year."
……
"The people of the Chengguo family are different, you see that their arms are tight and powerful, their posture is light, and their form is like an arch, they must be able to fight a protracted battle. As for the Dingyuan Mansion, their family has the strength to fight with the Chengguo Mansion, but I am more optimistic about the Chengguo Mansion. ”
Shen Jingyi smiled, I have to say, his analysis is very reasonable, "Second brother is really powerful." ”
"Hahaha...... When they really win, I don't have to worry if you praise me. ”
"I'm sure I'll win."
"Oh? Really? He smiled and looked at her, "That'...... How did Jingyi know? ”
