Chapter 175: Big White
The county lord of Anning smiled lightly and said: "Auntie, you think the same as my mother, after you left, my mother also thought about when she would see her again." ”
The county lord of Anning called Zhao his aunt, and the distance between the two was shortened at once, and Zhao was happy to hear it in his heart.
Nodding with a smile on his face.
Shen Lin pulled the corners of her mouth, and when she saw that the county lord of Anning had a good relationship with Shen Rong, a resentment arose in her heart, and she suddenly spoke: "Third sister, you have come back late, Gu Qiye has been to the house a few times, and Sister Tong has also sent someone to find the letter." ”
Shen Lin heard Gu Xingzhi and Shen Wu say that she liked Shen Rong, she was angry and hateful at the time, but now she can't wait to let everyone know.
Gu Xingzhi went to Beijing with them, and then followed Shen Pingcheng and them back to Jiangbei first.
Shen Rong hadn't seen Gu Xingzhi for a while.
Shen Lin's words were ambiguous, and it was inevitable that people would reverie.
"The fifth sister is right, since you are back, I will personally visit the Gu Mansion another day, Gu Qiye has asked you a few times on behalf of Sister Tong, and Sister Xu has something to say to you." Shen Lan continued Shen Lin's words and said in a low voice, as if she was just talking about a very sparse and ordinary thing.
Shen Rong nodded and agreed: "Okay." ”
Shen Lin was so angry when she heard this that her face turned green, and she wanted to say something more, but she found that the old lady glanced at her, and she had to swallow the words into her stomach.
This meal was very restrained.
By the time Shen Pingcheng returned home, Xie Yu and the county lord of Anning had already returned to the new house on the opposite street.
And Shen Pingcheng's face was pale, and after he entered the mansion, he first went to Fuhua Courtyard to see the old lady.
He didn't salute the old lady first, but asked in a low voice, "Mother, what's going on on the coal stack!" I will be the new official, and the Shen Mansion has caused me such a trouble, and I have also caused a lot of life! If this news reaches the ears of the Holy One, I should take off this hat!"
Shen Pingcheng was even more angry that he still learned about this matter from other people's mouths.
"Heisei ......" The old lady looked embarrassed, and hurriedly got off the Luohan bed: "It's all your third brother's fault for this matter, you don't have that ability, you have to take the porcelain work!" But don't worry, this matter has been taken care of by the mother, and Ah Rong has also returned from Beijing, our Shen Mansion is being valued by the emperor, and has already married the second son of Xie from Prince Ying's Mansion. ”
There have been so many bad things in the Shen Mansion recently, and Shen Rong is such a thing as something to be happy about.
"Marriage? Ah Rong and Xie Ergongzi? Shen Pingcheng exclaimed.
The taste in his heart is extremely complicated, he and Zhou Mao have already talked about the marriage of the two families before, so it is difficult for him to talk to Zhou Fu.
But the marriage of Prince Ying's mansion, he was also happy in his heart.
Shen Pingcheng softened his face, "What about Pingshi?" ”
"How can he have the face to come back at this time!" The old lady pushed all the things on Shen Pingshi's body, shook her head and sighed: "Boss Su has already sent someone to withdraw from the coal stack, this matter is not considered by our Shen Mansion enough, and it is also the will of God, I am afraid of the family ......affairs of the Weiguo Mansion."
The old lady was afraid that the matter of the coal stack would affect the marriage between Shen Lan and Gu Xingyan.
After all, although the two families handed over Gengti, as soon as they returned to Jiangbei, the marriage was delayed again.
Things are uncertain for a day, and the old lady is not at ease for a day.
"Mother, you don't have to worry about Sister Lan's marriage, the matter of the coal stack has already tossed you a lot, you should rest and rest more these days." Shen Pingcheng slowly discovered that the old lady had always been thinking about the marriage between Shen Lan and Shen Rong, and his tone gradually became cold.
Greeted the old lady decently, and turned around and walked out of Fuhua Courtyard.
In the quiet Jinlin courtyard, the moonlight shines on the triple-high luncheon, and the cool moonlight slanted down, illuminating most of the courtyard.
In the warm boudoir, Zhao and Shen Lan sat on Shen Rong's left and right, and Shen Lan asked first: "Ah Rong, you stay in the palace, Empress Dowager Qi didn't embarrass you." ”
Shen Rong suddenly laughed, got up and raised his arms: "Sister, look at me like this, where do I seem to have suffered, Empress Dowager Qi doesn't know how good she is to me, even Princess Roujia is envious." ”
She smiled heartily.
"Sit down again." Zhao glanced at her and pursed his lips and smiled.
Shen Lan knew that Shen Rong didn't tell the truth, but Shen Rong didn't say it, so she had to laugh and stop asking.
Zhao's original joy suddenly dropped, sighed slightly, and stared at Shen Lan and Shen Rong carefully.
muttered: "Actually, it's okay for you two sisters to be like this, you will marry in the capital in the future, so that you can take care of it, but when my mother thinks about it, she can't bear you." ”
Shen Rong was still early from getting married, but Shen Lan was about to get married in a blink of an eye, and when Zhao said this, sadness also came to his heart, and his voice was a little lower: "Mother, it's not like I'm not coming back." ”
Shen Rong is not worried, because in just a few years, Shen Pingcheng will be promoted and become an official in Beijing.
But she still muttered, "You can also go to Beijing to see us." ”
As they spoke, Mama Fang bent half of her body to open the curtain and said loudly, "Madam, girls, the master is back." ”
Zhao suddenly got up from the wooden chair, unconsciously wiped the hair behind his ears with both hands, and dusted off the dust that was not on his body, and Shen Lan and Shen Rong smiled with them, lifted their skirts and said: "Ah Rong, you are not in the capital these days, and your father has been thinking about you." ”
Shen Rong got up from his seat with a smile, and followed Shen Lan to the threshold of the Zhao clan one after another.
Entering the main room, Shen Pingcheng had already sat down, and Zhao glanced at Chunlin: "Tell the kitchen to prepare the meals." ”
After standing beside Shen Pingcheng, he said softly: "Today, the second son of Xie and the county lord of Anning have eaten in Fuhua Courtyard. ”
"The county lord of Anning has also arrived in Jiangbei?" Shen Pingcheng frowned, didn't the second son of Xie and the county lord of Anning know about the matter of the coal stack?
He beckoned to Shen Rong: "Ah Rong, let Daddy see, he is fat and thin in Beijing." Leaving you alone in the palace, my father is not sure-footed and has no trouble. ”
Shen Rong gave Shen Pingcheng a deep look, looking like he wanted to say something, but he said, "No." ”
Shen Pingcheng nodded slowly, asked some things casually, and then said to Shen Rong: "I heard Mr. Gao say that you have a deep knowledge of calligraphy, you come over and let your father open his eyes." ”
"It's Mr. Gao who praised it, and you believe it too, Daddy." Shen Rong sneered and said, knowing in his heart that Shen Pingcheng understood what she meant, and asked her to go inside to talk to her.
Zhao and Shen Lan were sitting outside, talking about the relationship.
After entering the western room, Shen Pingcheng personally gave Shen Rong ink and prepared pen and paper.
Shen Rong smiled: "Don't laugh at me." ”
As he spoke, he wrote two big words on the white rice paper, Xie Kun.
Shen Pingcheng's brows furrowed, his expression was solemn, and he said cautiously: "I did hear that Xie Kun returned to Beijing from the northwest a few days ago, Ah Rong, have you seen him so far?" ”
Not only did he see it, but he almost became his new wife.
Shen Rong bowed, "Daddy, this time in the palace, my daughter is afraid that she will completely offend Empress Dowager Qi and Xie Kun." ”
She also happened to let Shen Pingcheng know that the Empress Dowager Qi had no way out, so she could only choose the road of Prince Ying's Mansion.
"What the hell is going on, why did the emperor give you and Xie Yu a marriage for no reason. Empress Dowager Qi is happy that you let you enter the palace to accompany her old man, why did you offend Empress Dowager Qi again? Shen Pingcheng was deeply confused, he reverted to thinking about flattering both sides, this is good, it is a hammer, there is no way back.
Empress Dowager Qi was ruthless, Shen Rong offended her, how could she leave the palace intact, Shen Pingcheng thought about it carefully, and without Shen Rong talking about it, he knew what was going on with this marriage.
couldn't help sighing: "You child, the marriage was decided so hastily, and my father still wants to choose a good husband for you personally......"
"Daddy, Empress Dowager Qi has another plan for her, since the first day I entered the palace, I have been caught in it, if it weren't for Prince Ying's mansion, I'm afraid you won't be able to see me today." Shen Rong's voice was hoarse, his face was pitiful, he raised his eyes to look at him again, and asked curiously: "Isn't Daddy dissatisfied with Second Prince Xie?" ”
"How not satisfied." Shen Pingcheng replied without hesitation.
Just marrying into Prince Ying's mansion, that means that the Shen Mansion has no way to choose, which is not his original intention.
The matter had been decided, and it was useless to ask again, so Shen Pingcheng had no choice but to pat Shen Rong's shoulder and go out of the west with her.
Shen Rong and Shen Lan had already eaten, and after meeting Shen Pingcheng, they both went back to their own houses.
Ruyi had a few big secrets in his heart, and he had been looking forward to talking to Shen Rong for a long time, and it was easy to see that only Shen Rong was left in the house, and he was busy tiptoeing into the house.
I saw that my girl was resting on the red lacquer carved round table with one elbow, and the candlelight at night was glowing with a faint yellow halo, and Shen Rong's heroic and beautiful face became soft.
She tentatively whispered: "Three girls......"
No one should be.
She had no choice but to accentuate her voice: "Three girls! ”
"What?" Shen Rong suddenly came back to his senses, saw Ruyi, his consciousness suddenly sobered up a lot, and without waiting for Ruyi to explain, he asked: "What did Qian Xiao say!" ”
On the contrary, Ruyi was shaken by Shen Rong's amazing reflexes, and was stunned for a moment before he spoke slowly: "Girl, our coal stack in Shen Mansion really has another hidden secret, do you remember why there is the first coal mine in Yong'an City?" ”
Shen Rong nodded, she naturally remembered that it was because the farm bought by the farmer was actually mined as a coal mine, so Cheng was as moved as the others in Yong'an City, but after discussing with the farmer several times, the farmer finally chose the Shen Mansion.
This is also the reason why Shen Mansion opened a coal stack.
She raised her eyebrows slightly, gestured Ruyi and continued.
"Qian Xiao and the slave maid said that the boss of the coal mine turned out to be the son of Mama Gui, you said that it was a coincidence or not, they were driven out of the Shen Mansion at the beginning." Ruyi said.
So this makes sense, when Mama Gui and Atom were driven out of the Shen Mansion, they were resentful, and when the coal mine came out, they waited for the Shen Mansion to jump into this pit.
But where does Mama Gui and the atom have money and land.
Even if Mama Gui deducted it in the Shen Mansion, it would be impossible to deduct the money from such a large farm.
Unless......
Shen Rong suddenly remembered that Mrs. Qi offered a reward to Xuanqing, could it be that the person who kidnapped Xiaoba into the Shen Mansion and killed the old monk was an atom!
This would explain why he had so much money in an instant.
Shen Rong's face sank, Mama Gui, atom, they actually counted Shen Fu behind their backs.
Ruyi felt Shen Rong's sudden face, she paused, and asked: "Girl, the third lady seems to have known about this before, but she didn't tell the old lady clearly, Qian Xiao suspects that the third lady and the third master are inseparable from this matter." ”
"Sanfang and the old lady have no relatives and no reason, and it is not uncommon for them to do such a thing." Cheng's scheming Shen Rong already knew about it, she said coldly.
This was a lesson for the old lady, but she thought that the atom would not give up.
Atom and Shen Pingshi can also be regarded as sympathy, in comparison, the only good thing about Shen Pingshi is that he is recognized by the old lady as the third master of the Shen Mansion, while the atom is nothing.
Ruyi hesitated for a while: "That girl, what do you say about this matter, it is said that Su Fu has already torn his face with Shen Fu because of this matter." ”
"What should I do, the most important thing is to stabilize the families of those miners first, and I will go in person tomorrow, and I don't worry about other people's affairs." Shen Rong whispered.
The families of these miners must be soft and not hard.
The people sent by the old lady all felt superior, and they were afraid that they would throw face at others.
This matter was the fault of the Shen Mansion, and it was inevitable to keep a low voice.
After Shen Rong carefully instructed Ruyi how to deal with it tomorrow, he let her retreat and rest.
Seeing Ruyi standing still, she frowned slightly: "If you have anything to say, just say it." ”
"Slave maid...... Slave maid ......" Ruyi lowered her head slowly, she glanced at Shen Rong stupidly, and hesitated: "Girl, when the slave and maid came back from the outer courtyard, they shouldn't have listened to it." ”
Shen Rong rubbed his already tired eyelids, "What's the matter?" I can't say anything. ”
"It's about the ...... of the four masters"
Ruyite lowered her voice, her voice was like a mosquito, thin and weak, if it weren't for Shen Rong's better ear, she couldn't hear what she was saying at all.
The carriage and horses were tiring for a few days, and when she returned home today, she couldn't rest well, but tossed for a day, in the dead of night, Shen Rong was even more sleepy, she covered her mouth and yawned, her spirit was obviously a little wrong: "What's wrong with the fourth master?" ”
Ruyi exhaled deeply, and blurted out: "The slave maid secretly heard a few maidservants say that the fourth master has a house in Jianghang, and I heard that there is also a son. ”
Shen Rong nodded and said indifferently: "The affairs of the fourth room have their worries, and our second room doesn't have to worry about their affairs." ”
Shen Rong listened to this matter inconsequentially, but when the fourth room was at odds with them, she could use it to deal with it.
Shen Pingyuan is away all the year round, and the Li family is not like the Zhao family to follow the past, Shen Rong doesn't think it's a rare thing at all, maybe the Li family understands it in his heart.
It's just that smart people pretend to be confused.
