Chapter Eighty-Six: Qiu Shang Turned Out to Be Him
Qiujia, located on Huangpu Street in the south of the city, the residences in this area are definitely where the wealthy families in the capital gather, and they can't buy a house here without a bit of identity background.
Even if the Yao family is not qualified here, even if the Yao family is also one of the top ten noble families, ranking last, they have not been able to buy a suitable house here.
Of course, it is not that the Yao family is not qualified to buy a house here, but even if there is a house that can accommodate so many people, the Yao family does not have the money to buy it.
The Qiu family, although it is not one of the top ten families, but it should not be underestimated, an accident twenty years ago affected this family overnight, but ten years later, the Qiu family, which was about to fade out of everyone's sight and the center of power, also returned to the stage of power because of the name Qiu Shang, which is not to be ignored.
Shen Zhuru sat in the carriage, somewhat curious about what kind of existence this Qiu Shangqiu Gongzi was.
After passing by a few times, this will finally have a chance to get to know each other, but I also want to see what kind of outstanding man can make Mu Fenghua pretend to be stupid for him for ten years.
The vermilion gate, the master of the town house at both ends is there, and a carriage has already been parked in the open space of Nuoda, and the autumn characters hanging on the corner lamp of the carriage are like the carriages of the house.
If it weren't for the host's family to go out, it would have just come back, Shen Zhuru and his party got out of the carriage, handed over the post, and were smoothly led into the house by the guards guarding the door, and led to the reception hall to wait for a while.
"You two, please have tea, sir, I'll be there later." After Steward Li of the Qiu Mansion ordered someone to serve tea, he said this and retreated to the side of the living room.
After taking a sip of tea and waiting slowly, Shen Zhuru's eyes fell on the door from time to time, and he did not hide his curiosity.
"Young Master Hua, You'er greets you." Suddenly, a beautiful figure was buried, staring directly at Mu Fenghua, smiling sweetly, and blessed his body.
Looking at that face, Shen Zhuru's eyes flickered slightly, and the hand holding the cup increased his strength slightly, and almost spilled the tea in the cup.
Shen Zhuru never thought that the person who appeared first was not Qiu Shang, but a bewitching and charming woman who snuggled in Mu Fenghua's arms on the first floor of Showa County that day, but compared with the charming dress of the day, this You'er at this moment is more elegant and beautiful in terms of dress, and her makeup is also dignified and pretty, and she is no longer as glamorous as that night.
"Lady, this is Li You, Qiu Shang's cousin." Mu Fenghua is no longer pretending to be crazy and stupid at this moment, and when he enters Qiu Shang's side, the house is full of trustworthy people, so naturally there is no need to pretend.
"Miss Li You, it's a pleasure." Shen Zhuru smiled lightly and nodded.
Li You obviously only noticed Shen Zhuru at this moment, and greeted him with a smile.
"You must be Sister Ru, I have heard Young Master Hua mention you a long time ago, saying that you are an empathetic and kind-hearted good woman, it is better to see it today than to be famous. Just by looking at my sister's face, I know that she is the kind of woman with a good heart and a good temper. Li You said with a smile, this sycophant is really bad enough.
"I didn't expect Miss Li You to know how to meet each other, it's amazing, I don't understand this at all. The only one I've only heard of people saying that each other is born from the heart, and I don't know if it's true or not. Shen Zhuru frowned with a hint of distress.
"Sister Ru is right, there is a distinction between congenital and acquired physiognomy, and this acquired is born from the heart. The face is also inferred from the combination of innate and acquired, and I only know a little about the skin. ”
Shen Zhuru smiled and did not answer.
Li You also smiled, and sat in the vacant position next to Mu Fenghua, just in the middle with Shen Zhuru to surround Mu Fenghua.
Why is this chest so blocked?
When Shen Zhuru saw such a seating pattern at the moment, she felt that she couldn't get out of her anger and was uncomfortable.
"Grace."
The autumn fashion that has been delayed for a long time has only appeared at this moment.
Shen Zhuru turned her head in the direction of the door, but saw a man in Tsing Yi standing at the door.
When he raised his eyes and landed on that face, Shen Zhuru was slightly stunned, and an urge to leave directly appeared in his heart, and his chest was burning with anger.
Twenty-four or five years old, melon seed face, unconventional earrings on the left ear, and a pair of habitually half-squinted sleeping phoenix eyes, isn't it the man who sat opposite Mu Fenghua on the first floor that day.
Unexpectedly, I didn't expect the three people I saw on the first floor that day to appear in front of her so unabashedly, and they also showed such a harmonious relationship.
The conversation I heard that day was still faintly echoing in my ears.
The more Shen Zhuru thought about it, the more angry she became, but after the suppressed anger burned fiercely, she found that after the anger reached the extreme, her mind calmed down, and it was never clearer.
She wanted to see what kind of medicine the three men were selling in their gourds.
"Qiu Shang, let me introduce you, this is my lady, you have been saying many times that you want to meet someone." Mu Fenghua stretched out his hand to hold Shen Zhuru's hand, frowned slightly on his originally smiling face, and turned his head to Shen Zhuru, "Lady, your hands are so cold, are you cold?" ”
Dodging Mu Fenghua's outstretched palm, Shen Zhuru withdrew his hand, and did not look at Mu Fenghua, but blessed his body towards Qiu.
"Young Master Qiu, it's polite."
"Brother and sister are polite. Sit down, you're welcome, just be your own home, no need to be inhibited. Although I am not a sibling, I am better than a sibling, you are her wife, you are your own person, and these red tape will be avoided. If you don't dislike it, just call me Brother Qiu. ”
"Okay. Brother Qiu. Shen Zhuru nodded with a smile, and then asked, "I don't know why Brother Qiu specially sent a post to invite us to the house?" Is there something to look for? ”
"My brother and sister are smart. I do have something to do for my favor, but I'm not in a hurry. I mainly want to see my younger siblings, and I have had a few opportunities in the past, but I missed them, I always feel that it is a pity, it is rare that you have followed Fenghua to the capital, and settled in Yao's house, so you naturally have to come and walk around a little more. I have already instructed the people below to hold the Qiu Mansion and welcome my younger brothers and sisters to come over to play at any time, they will serve you like a young lady in the house, you can rest assured, even if you stay for a few days, as long as I talk to the old lady here, it is not a big problem. ”
"Wouldn't it be too much trouble?"
"No trouble. Anyway, there are few people in the Qiu Mansion on weekdays, if you are willing to come over to play, it will be more lively, how can it be troublesome. ”
"Then I might as well be respectful, and I will definitely come to the house to disturb me more if I have the opportunity."
"That's right. Yes, You'er you also met just now, she is my cousin, I believe you must have known each other just now, I won't introduce much. ”
Shen Zhuru smiled with Qiu Shang and waited for the following.
"Cousin, the hour is almost up." Just drank a cup of tea, Li You took the lead in opening his mouth.
Qiu Shang raised his eyes and looked at the sky, nodded, Mu Fenghua and Li You both stood up as if they knew what to do, Li You took the first step, Mu Fenghua walked up to Shen Zhuru and held her hand.
"Lady, I'm going to do some business, you wait for me to come back in the house, if you are really bored, I remember when you were in Nanyang County, didn't you know two young ladies from the capital? One is called Mu Qingyu, the other is called Su Xiaoxiao, that Mu Qingyu is not in the capital for the time being, but Su Xiaoxiao can go and play with her. Her house is on the other side of Huangpu Street, you can pay a visit, I'm afraid I'll be back later. ”
Shen Zhuru hummed lightly, withdrew her hand without a trace, and Mu Fenghua also left, leaving her and Qiu Shang in the hall.
"Brother and sister, you don't seem to be in a good mood today? If you're not feeling well or are you unhappy, how about talking about it? Even if I can't help you out, at least you can be a qualified listener. Qiu Shang was the first to break the calm and open his mouth.
"Brother Qiu was wrong, I wasn't upset, I just wondered if it would be inappropriate to go to Su Xiaoxiao so rashly. At the beginning, I was only a one-sided relationship with her, and I can't say that she will forget that there is such a person as me. It made Brother Qiu worry about me. ”
"Hehe, I thought something was going on, I see you're worried in vain. This Su Xiaoxiao is also famous in the capital. It's two extremes with her brother, even if she really forgets about you, if you go to play with her, people can't ask for it. I forgot to mention just now that this Su Xiaoxiao is now grounded at home because of one thing, otherwise, it will be really difficult for you to see people. That's why I asked you to go and play with her. Of course, if you can have a good relationship with her, you will find that even the old lady will not stop you and not let you show up, but will support you to go out. ”
"Huh? Could it be that this Su Xiaoxiao has a big background? ”
Only people who also have a tough background in the capital will make Lao Taijun easily compromise, and it is difficult for people who are too ordinary to get Lao Taijun to support.
"It's not a small story. There are three marquis masters, and she is still the only daughter in the family, do you think it's a big deal? ”
"Wait, three marquis? I remember that Su Xiaoxiao said that she was asking me to go to the Xiaojun Mansion to find her, why did I get involved with the Hou Ye again? Shen Zhuru's memory is not bad, Qiu Shang said this, and immediately found that something was wrong.
"King Xiaojun is Su Xiaoxiao's grandfather, as for the three marquis, they are Wu'an Hou Su Luojian, Pingjin Hou Su Luoguang, Huaiyuan Hou Su Luoquan, these three are all real people who rely on military merits to seal the marquis, and these three are Su Xiaoxiao's elder brothers, the youngest Su Luoquan is now twenty-two years old, and Su Xiaoxiao is seven years old, it is not an exaggeration to say that Su Xiaoxiao is the little princess in the palace of Xiaojun. Isn't that a big deal, you say? Qiu Shang asked Shen Zhuru with a smile, he told her so much in such detail.
Shen Zhuru was amazed at Su Xiaoxiao's origin, but she couldn't help but maintain a little skepticism about Qiu Shang's intention to say so much.
She didn't think that she really won Qiu Shang's trust with Mu Fenghua's so-called relationship, and she was willing to explain so much to her.
Not to mention, she hasn't forgotten the place on the first and third floors, Qiu Shang has belittled her worthless, it can't be so kind, there must be a purpose.
Since Qiu Shang wanted to use her to get close to Su Xiaoxiao, then she would treat it as if she didn't know anything and get close, but to see what medicine they sold in their gourds.
"It's a big deal, and I suddenly found that I'm a little timid and don't dare to climb the relationship. You also said that she is the little princess of the Xiaojun Palace, and I am afraid that my identity is ......."
"Hehe, you don't have to worry about this at all. Didn't she give you a hosta, so that you can use the hosta to play with her when you are free to go to the capital? Take the hairpin and show it to the guards guarding the door, and they will tell you and lead you in to find someone. ”
Qiu Shang actually knew about it, and it seemed that Mu Fenghua told him everything.
"Hosta, by the way, I forgot that I didn't bring it out in Mufu when I came, it's terrible." Shen Zhuru couldn't help frowning, this was not pretending, but really not brought. Because she didn't plan to really go to Su Xiaoxiao and the others before she came, she had made up her mind at the beginning, and she didn't want to deliberately make friends with anything.
"Young lady, are you talking about this hairpin? The slave maid has been collecting it for you, and it has not been left in the Mu family house in Qiyang County. Yueyang suddenly spoke, and the hairpin that she handed out was the token hosta that Su Xiaoxiao gave her at the beginning.
"Yueyang, you are really my lucky star, I was still sorry for not bringing a hosta, but I didn't expect you to help me keep it all the time, it's really good. Without further ado, we immediately set off for the palace of the king of Xiaojun. Shen Zhuru's face was excited, and she couldn't wait to urge Yueyang.
"Brother and sister, wait."
"Brother Qiu, what's wrong?" Shen Zhuru turned her head and looked at Qiu Shang with a puzzled expression.
"There is no gift for visiting people. Wait, I'll ask Steward Li to prepare a suitable gift for you to send over. ”
"Ah, you see that I am patronizing and happy, and I forgot about this, thank you Brother Qiu for your reminder. Shall I wait or do I get in the carriage and wait slowly? ”
"You better wait in the car, you'll be ready soon. When you arrive at the county king's mansion, don't be so frizzy, it will make people laugh. ”
"Oh, thank you Brother Qiu for reminding me, I'll pay attention, then I'll go first." Shen Zhuru blessed her body and left the living room and walked towards the door.
When Mu Fenghua came out after changing his clothes, he saw that Shen Zhuru was not in the living room, and he understood everything.
"Fenghua, you won't blame me for involving her."
Mu Fenghua was silent.
"You also know that the most important thing is time, and if you can solve things faster, there is no need to waste more time on it."
"I understand. It's just, no matter what, I don't want to hurt her. She is innocent. ”
Qiu Shang didn't say anything, just waited for Li You, who had changed his clothes and makeup, to appear, handed a sterling silver mask to Mu Fenghua to put on, turned around and left Qiu Mansion through the back door.
At the end of the other end of Huangpu Street, there are only a few people hurriedly walking on the deserted road, the plaque of the Xiaojun Wangfu is hung on the magnificent gate, the lion at the door alone, the position of the base is almost to the neck, and the guards guarding the door are not ordinary guards, but the guards from the military camp are guarding there, standing as straight as a javelin, and not squinting.
