Chapter Ninety-Three: Relationship and Status
"Naturally, it is based on your condition, and I will not embarrass you."
Su Luoquan said that at this point, if he didn't know how to accept it when he saw it, he really didn't know how to do it.
invited Su Luoquan to dine together, and the atmosphere was quite harmonious, but Mu Fenghua would always look at Su Luoquan with hostility at the table, as long as Su Luoquan wanted to do something for Shen Zhuru, he would intervene.
As far as cloth dishes are concerned, Su Luoquan sandwiched one chicken leg to Shen Zhuru, Mu Fenghua immediately sandwiched the other one to Shen Zhuru, and directly stuffed Su Luoquan's chicken leg into Qiao Yuelong's bowl.
"Miss Shen, if you encounter something that can't be solved, you can use the waist card I gave you, I believe it should be able to help." Before leaving, Su Luoquan whispered beside Shen Zhuru, and then left the restaurant with Cao Daxiong.
When I returned to Yao's Mansion, the sky was not looking for it, and when it was close to eight o'clock in the evening, when I first returned to Mercury Garden, a room of gift boxes was piled up in the entire living room, which made Shen Zhuru slightly surprised.
What's going on?
Why are there so many gifts.
"Young Mrs. Cousin, Young Master Cousin, these are all sent by the masters of the Yao family's houses to my aunt's place, and they are sent by my aunt's place. It's all a little bit of heart in each room, and I also ask the young lady to accept it with peace of mind. Jin Rong, the little steward in Mercury Park, directly opened his mouth to solve the doubts of Shen Zhuru and the others who had just returned.
After a little pondering, Shen Zhuru quickly understood. Why the gifts in this room were only sent today is probably related to the fact that Su Luo Quanran Cao Daxiong personally came to invite him.
Su Luoquan is a marquis who holds military power, but he is not a false title, and the people of the entire Yao family want to climb to the big man who has no relationship at all.
Now that I find that Shen Zhuru actually has a lot of friendship with this Hou Ye, it would be a pity if I didn't make good use of it and seek a future for those masters in the officialdom.
has long known the power of the Yao family, Shen Zhuru is at ease about receiving these gifts, as for whether she will really help others. That's really hard to say.
"Steward Jin Rong, find a warehouse to put away these gifts first, make a list out, and don't put them in the hall."
"Yes. Cousin of the young lady. ”
Just asked Jin Rong to collect the things, and the old lady got the news and came directly to invite Shen Zhuru over.
is simply a single word 'please', which is really a rare word for Shen Zhuru.
Especially Mama Cui came to invite her in person, and even asked Shen Zhuru if she might as well take a bath and change her clothes. It can be seen how tolerant you are, if you change it before, no matter what you are doing, the elders will go over immediately, otherwise it will be your fault.
Mama Cui was polite for Shen Zhuru's sake, and Shen Zhuru naturally wouldn't be ignorant.
Rather than making people wait for a lump to be left in the future, it is better to go through it now.
Shen Zhuru's stomach followed Mama Cui to the old lady's house, and the old lady was leaning back on the rocking chair and pretending to sleep.
"Old lady, the young lady is here." Mama Cui whispered in the old lady's ear.
The old lady opened her eyes and beckoned to Shen Zhuru. A friendly smile on his face.
"Come, kid, come over here and sit down and talk to grandma."
"Yes." Shen Zhuru sat down on the small bench next to the old lady's rocking chair as she said, if it weren't for Su Luoquan's invitation to send someone over today, it would be absolutely impossible for the title of grandma to come out of the old lady's mouth.
Sure enough, only with enough interests can a person increase his or her weight in the family.
"Zhuru, are you still used to staying in the capital?" The old lady asked gently.
"The bustling capital is dizzying. There's nothing I'm not used to, it's just a little unfamiliar and I don't know where to go. ”
"It's okay, walk around more in the future. Naturally, it is familiar. If you are worried that you don't have enough money, you can come directly to grandma to get it. I remember that it has been almost three months since you married into the Mu family, and I am afraid that I haven't had time to give you a monthly silver spend, Mama Cui, and take three hundred taels of silver for the young lady. ”
"No, old lady." Mama Cui replied. directly took out three hundred taels of silver tickets and handed them to Shen Zhuru, stuffed the silver tickets into her hands, and the person had already retreated behind the old lady.
"Grandmother, this is too much silver." Shen Zhuru didn't dare to accept it, she knew that even if she didn't have the previous deduction of the moon silver, she would only spend fifty taels of silver a month, but now it has doubled, and she is a little flattered.
"It's not much at all, and occasionally you need to spend silver to buy some jewelry, or invite a few friends to go out, which is just right for the capital, not much. Take it on. ”
The old lady couldn't refuse and stuffed the silver ticket returned by Shen Zhuru back into his hand, and his voice changed.
"Zhuru, today I heard that the people in the house said that this Huaiyuan Marquis sent someone to send you a post, I don't know what kind of post this is, so what's the matter?"
Shen Zhuru's eyes flickered slightly, this old lady really couldn't be good to her for no reason, and it was really related to Su Luoquan.
"I once went to Nanyang County to participate in the wedding of the fifth young master of the Qin family, and I met a friend by chance, when I stayed in the Qiu Gongzi Mansion yesterday, I suddenly remembered that the friend also lived nearby, so I went to visit, and then I knew that this friend was the little county lord of the Xiao County Palace, and at that time, the Marquis of Huaiyuan was in the house, and there were several faces, but they also talked very happily. The post I sent today is to invite me to go to the palace of the prince of Xiaojun to celebrate the birthday of the county lord at the seventh day of the seventh month of July, and to meet on the shore of Yueming Lake, and this is the case. ”
"Oh, in that case, you have a good relationship with that little county lord."
"Not bad."
"Then you have to maintain this relationship. If you can, see if you can ask Huaiyuanhou for a favor. Your father is going to expand his business in the capital, but he has encountered a little trouble and needs the help of people in the official face. Let's see if you can talk to Master Hou and ask him to help. As for how to help, when your father comes back, I'll let him talk to you, how about it? ”
The old lady spoke in a gentle tone, and now this is his real purpose.
Grandmother was serious. If I can help my father-in-law, I'm naturally happy. It's just that the Hou Ye will not help, the granddaughter-in-law really can't guarantee it, so she can only promise to try to talk about it, whether it will be successful or not, and ask her grandmother and father-in-law to forgive me. ”
"As long as you mention it, it's fine. I'm talking about this. Just in case, your father's side is also trying another way, but I don't know what the situation is now. I said this to you. It's just to prevent it from happening, and it doesn't mean anything else. ”
"Grandmother, don't worry, I know this in my heart, and I won't have any other thoughts."
Shen Zhuru's answer made the old lady nod her head, quite satisfied.
"I think you're tired, too. Go back and wash up and rest, and it's not too late to talk about anything tomorrow. ”
"The granddaughter-in-law retired here first."
"Go ahead."
After coming out of the old lady's house, Shen Zhuru went back to the room directly, Yueyang had already prepared a hot water bath here, and even sprinkled flower petals on it, and the whole room exuded the fragrance of flowers, which smelled very good.
"Yueyang, at this hour, where did you pick the flowers?" Shen Zhuru couldn't help asking, got up and walked to the bathtub. The rose petals that float on the surface of the water are not exposed to the sun at first glance, and the flowers that bloom until the afternoon are obviously cut in the morning, soaked in water, and the petals are torn off when they are about to be used.
There are so many red and gorgeous petals, if I remember correctly, the roses in this Yao Mansion are only planted in the garden of the fourth room, which is quite expensive.
On weekdays, only a few ladies in the fourth room can bathe with flower petals.
Now I get so many petals. It's also very free to think about it, and the Yao family's four-room side is the most likely to send it.
"It was sent by Mrs. Perfume, saying that you can let the young lady try the feeling of this petal bath, if it is a satisfactory painting, I will send someone to send the young lady in the future."
"Mrs. Perfume. This is the wife of the four-room master, it is said that she was born in a merchant family, this flower is still brought by her to be planted in the Yao family, and no one picks it casually on weekdays, so many petals, this number is not small. It's rare that Mrs. Perfume is willing enough, young lady, you can try how it feels first, and then it's not too late to make plans. ”
Shen Zhuru nodded, didn't say more, and began to take a bath.
The petal bath does feel good, but it's a pity that the use of petals to soak in the bath is somewhat wasteful, if it can be processed into essence, and then used to soak in the bath, it will definitely be more fragrant.
After freshening up, Mu Fenghua also finished freshening up in another room.
At this moment, the house is full of their own people, and Yueyang and Qibao are guarding outside the door.
"Lady, today's matter about the princess Hanping, no matter how it develops in the future, you should not get involved easily, just ensure your own safety."
"Why do you say that all of a sudden? Are you worried about something? Shen Zhuru saw that Mu Fenghua was so cautious, and couldn't help asking.
"Although the two attendants named Guangliu Guangqi were all driven away by Su Luo today, the other party's eyes before leaving were obviously uneasy and kind, and I don't think the other party would give up. Coupled with what Su Luoquan said before, I'm still more worried about you. ”
"Worried about me?" Shen Zhuru's eyes widened, and then he smiled and waved his hand, "I have nothing to worry about." Even if Princess Hanping falls in love with you, then you need to worry about it, why are you worried about me. Could it be that you are still afraid that she will eat me? ”
"I'm not worried that she will eat you, I am afraid that if she doesn't mind that I'm a fool and insists on choosing me as a colt, my grandmother and father may abandon you, and then I'm afraid that they will do something that I can't take care of and hurt you, so I want you to be okay no matter what happens, the first thing is to keep yourself safe and then think about anything else."
Mu Fenghua's serious expression at the moment made Shen Zhuru unable to continue laughing.
In the world where it used to be, in ancient times, princesses recruited horses, and some people who climbed dragons and phoenixes would divorce their wives and remarry.
In terms of Princess Hanping's identity as a princess, if you really take a fancy to Mu Fenghua and don't mind his stupidity on the surface, and Mu Fenghua can't refuse, even if the Mu family has concerns, I'm afraid that the Yao family will add fuel to the fire, let Shen Zhuru get out, so that she can marry a princess and enter the door, and suddenly upgrade to a royal relative, and her career will be worry-free in the future.
Even if this princess has a bad reputation, she still has some weight in the end as the emperor's daughter.
"Lady, no matter what happens in the future, you just think I'm worried, if something bad really happens, I hope you will follow the arrangement first, take care of yourself, and wait for me to deal with the rest."
Mu Fenghua's words made Shen Zhuru a little unhappy.
"Let's talk about it. Maybe not as bad as you think. Don't talk about it, I'm tired, go rest. Shen Zhuru said and got up and left directly, her attitude was obvious.
Mu Fenghua didn't say anything more.
In the early morning of the next day, just after breakfast, the ladies and ladies of the Yao family came one after another, and it was none other than Jiang Ruoyu who came to report first.
"Cousin-in-law, I heard my grandmother mention that on the seventh day of the seventh month, you are going to celebrate the birthday of the little county lord of the palace of the king of Xiaojun. I just want to ask, you might bring someone in that day? I promise not to make any noise or noise, but I have seen a lot in the past, and I won't cause you trouble. ”
"Cousin Ruoyu, I'm afraid your request is not easy to handle. Hou Ye told me yesterday that the number of people invited to this banquet is limited, and I can only bring one more person to go, and the maids and attendants are all arranged to wait in another place, you also know how clingy your cousin is, if you don't take him there, I'm afraid something will be wrong, I'm really sorry. Shen Zhuru politely refused, but seeing Jiang Ruoyu's expression, it was obvious that he was a little unwilling.
"Cousin-in-law, since you are friends with the little county lord, it should be no problem to bring one more person with you. Will you let me go? Don't worry, I won't mess around, just watch the excitement and make sure that it will not cause you trouble. ”
"Cousin Ruoyu, it's okay if you say I'm unreasonable, it's really not good. Once I set a precedent for you, I'm afraid that anyone who knows about it will come to me and ask for a spot. Should I refuse or accept it? After all, the birthday of the little county lord was originally prepared by the county king's mansion to be low-key, and he didn't plan to find too many guests to go over, if I rashly brought more guests over, I'm afraid it's not easy to say. ”
"There really can't be helped?" Jiang Ruoyu finally asked, still insisting.
"I'm sorry." Shen Zhuru refused, what she said this time was categorical, which made her completely dead.
"Well, it seems that it can't be done." As soon as Jiang Ruoyu finished speaking, a group of ladies and ladies entered the Mercury Garden, came to place Shen Zhuru, and brought some snacks as gifts.
There are many people, and the living room is obviously not suitable for entertaining so many people, and the empty flat at the door of the living room is large enough, so he directly ordered the people of Mercury Park to immediately move the stool and the coffee table to the empty floor, and one person holds an umbrella to cover it. (To be continued.) )
