Chapter 202: Portrait (Second Update, Asking for a Monthly Pass)
"The side concubine of the Great Prince of Northern Qi?!" Situ Jianren's eyes widened with excitement, and even his voice trembled, "You...... Are you serious? Listen to whom?! Is this news reliable? β
For Situ Jianren, compared with Mrs. Hou Shizi of Changxing, the position of the side concubine of the great prince of the Northern Qi Kingdom is of course more attractive!
Who doesn't know that the great prince of the Northern Qi Kingdom can fight well?!
If it weren't for the Emperor of Northern Qi who held on to military power, the Great Prince of Northern Qi would be the first person in the military!
Zhang sighed and said, "Master, I won't tell you anything, I heard this news from the Fan family. β
"Fan?" Situ Jianren's face turned suspicious, "How did you see them?" β
Zhang said embarrassedly: "The Fan family has relatives who clean the upper subordinates in the guest house. This time, she happened to be sent to clean the courtyard in the Linfeng Pavilion where the prince of Northern Qi lived, and she heard what the adults of Northern Qi said with her own ears. The relatives of the Fan family thought that we were secretly pitiful, and wanted to find a future for her, so they secretly came to listen to me, saying that as long as the portrait was sent first, it would be fine. The prince of Northern Qi may not be able to look at it! β
When the girls of the Eastern Yuan Kingdom reached the age of getting married, the family could afford to hire a painter, and they would draw two portraits of their daughters for keeping.
"Oh? Is it for the dark incense? Situ Jianren believed a little, "Don't worry, I'll inquire." β
Zhang nodded with a smile.
There are adults on the side of the Great Prince of Northern Qi to take care of her, and she is not worried that Situ Jianren will not take the bait, so she is not worried, but said sincerely: "I originally thought that Dark Xiang was too young, and the Great Prince of Northern Qi would definitely not look down on him." So I refused, but then I thought that the eldest lady had just quit her relationship with the Marquis of Changxing, where could she find a better family than the Marquis of Changxing? - If the lord can find the eldest lady to find the prince of Northern Qi. Isn't it a hundred times stronger than the marriage of the Marquis of Changxing?! β
Zhang said again: "Madame, regardless of the previous suspicions, help us to secretly incense in front of Mrs. Changxinghou, although it didn't work out, but I understand her kindness." I'm also reciprocating. Don't tell Madame yet, quietly inquire yourself, and then tell Madame and Lady SΓΉ when it's almost over, lest they rejoice in vain. β
Situ Jianren expressed his happiness that his wife and concubine could get along in harmony. said with a smile: "It's my blessing that the two of you can think about each other like this." I'll go to the State Guest House and ask. β
Zhang smiled and watched as Situ Jianren took the two little guys out, and he hurried to write a reply to the adult.
ββ¦β¦ A virgin has been found for the eldest prince. Please help me with this. You can kill two birds with one stone. β
After the letter was delivered, Zhang waited at home with peace of mind.
Situ Jianren came back very late, drunk, and said to Zhang: "Northern Qi is really secretly choosing a side concubine for the eldest prince. I spent a thousand taels of silver. Only then did he send in the portrait of Yingsleeve. I will know in two days that I will have the letter. - Maybe I can also be the father-in-law of the prince of Northern Qi! He said. Haha laughed, and fell into bed and died drunk.
After dinner, the shopkeeper Lu Da realized what Situ Jianren had done, and he was startled, and hurriedly came to the inner courtyard to see Situ Jianren and asked what was going on.
Zhang didn't let him in, and said through the door curtain: "Boss Lu, the master has already rested, what's the matter." We'll talk about it tomorrow. β
Seeing that the shopkeeper couldn't ask Situ Jianren in person, the news he heard from Situ Jianren's servant was very urgent. Knowing that he couldn't wait any longer until tomorrow, he had to hurry to the Yanbo Pavilion where Shen Yongjie lived to report back.
Situ Yingsleeve happened to have not returned to the Zhigui Hall where he lived, but played chess with Situ Chenlei in Yanbo Pavilion.
"Madam, the shopkeeper Lu said that he wanted to see you for something." Shen Yongjie's maid preached at the door.
Shen Yongjie had just come out of the bath, looked at the sky outside, and was a little surprised.
However, she also knew that it was so late, and the shopkeeper Lu came in person, which must be a big deal, so she hurriedly ordered: "Let the shopkeeper Lu come in." β
Shen Yongjie combed her hair and came out to see the shopkeeper Lu.
It was already late autumn night, but the shopkeeper Lu Da was sweating profusely, looking very anxious.
"What's wrong? Lu Da shopkeeper? Shen Yongjie sat down, "You sit too, sit down and talk slowly." β
"Madam, something is wrong!" The shopkeeper Lu said in a trembling voice, his chubby face was red, and even his eyes were red.
"What's the big deal?" Shen Yongjie's heart sank, and she secretly prayed that it was not related to her two children.
But what are you afraid of......
I only heard the shopkeeper Lu whispered: "Madam, the little one just heard that the master listened to Aunt Zhang's words, took the portrait of the eldest lady in the afternoon, and sent it to the Linfeng Pavilion where the prince of Northern Qi lived, saying that it was ...... Say yes...... The prince of Northern Qi is picking a side concubine! β
"Nonsense!" Shen Yongjie was so angry that she stood up suddenly, "Pick a side concubine? How would Aunt Zhang know?! I don't even know! Never heard my dad mention it! Besides, the prince of Northern Qi, how could he come to the Eastern Yuan Kingdom to pick a side concubine by himself? We will send them over, and the Emperor of Northern Qi will send them down! - What a nonsense! β
"I heard that it was a relative of Aunt Zhang's ex-husband's family, who worked as a cleaner in the State Guest House, and heard about it......" When Zhang said this to Situ Jianren, he did not avoid people, so the shopkeeper of Lu Da inquired.
Situ Yingsleeve heard it in the back room, and was also taken aback, and hurriedly walked out and asked, "Mother, what's wrong?" β
"It's okay, my mother has something to ask your father." Shen Yongjie turned back to Situ Yingsleeve and said, "You are watching your brother here, I will come when I go." With that, he hurriedly took the shopkeeper Lu to the place where Situ Jianren and the Zhang family lived.
"I want to see the master." Shen Yongjie came to the upper room of the main courtyard where Situ Jianren and Zhang's lived, and said sharply.
Zhang greeted him with a smile and said, "Big lady, the master is asleep." If you have something to talk about tomorrow......"
Syllable!
Shen Yongjie waved her hand and slapped Zhang's to the ground, pointed at her and said sharply: "If my daughter is good, you can bury her with her!" As he spoke, he kicked her again and went to the back room by himself.
Situ Jianren really slept soundly in the back room, and the house was full of alcohol.
Shen Yongjie immediately instructed her mother-in-law: "Fetch a basin of cold water!" β
A mother-in-law went to the bathhouse. He took a small copper basin and brought it out with a basin of cold water.
"Splash me!" Shen Yongjie pointed to Situ Jianren, who was drunk and fell asleep on the bed, and said sharply.
That mother-in-law was the original mother-in-law of the Situ family, and she was very afraid of Situ Jianren, so she only lowered her head. Cowering and not daring to move.
Mama Shen took the copper basin from her hand and splashed it on Situ Jianren, who was asleep on the bed, with a snort!
The cold water splashed Situ Jianren's head and face, and even the bedding on the bed was wet!
"Sir!" Zhang rushed from the outhouse to Situ Jianren's bed, and was also splashed with water.
Situ Jianren woke up with a spirit, saw Zhang's face covered with water, lying on the side of his bed shivering, and then raised his head. He saw Shen Yongjie standing by the bed with an angry face, his face changed again, and he held back his anger and said, "What's wrong?" β
Shen Yongjie waved her hand.
Mama Shen hurriedly retreated to the corridor outside the door with the maid and the maid. Leave the inner room to Shen Yongjie, Situ Jianren and Zhang.
Shen Yongjie didn't want others to know about this, so she lowered her voice to Situ Jianren and said, "You sent my daughter's portrait to the Great Prince of Northern Qi?" β
Situ Jianren saw that Shen Yongjie already knew about it, so he no longer hid it and sat up. Lift the wet quilt. Dissatisfied: "That's it? How dare you splash my water? β
Shen Yongjie took a deep breath and said angrily: "Say it quickly!" Yes or no?! β
"What the are you? People may not look down on your daughter! Situ Jianren said contemptuously and got out of bed.
Zhang hurriedly took a big towel and came over to wipe his head and face.
Shen Yongjie's heart sank. - I really sent it......
ββ¦β¦ Where did you hear about this? I haven't even heard from my father. Shen Yongjie asked in a deep voice, glancing at Zhang unkindly.
Zhang hurriedly lowered his head and shrank beside Situ Jianren.
Situ Jianren knew that Shen Yongjie couldn't get used to seeing Zhang's family, and when he saw Zhang's face red and swollen from being beaten, he relented and said stubbornly: "I heard people say it in the restaurant." I went to the State Guest House to inquire in person, and I sent a thousand taels of silver to send the portrait in! - You think it's easy! β
"You're still lying to me?! It's obviously the root of Aunt Zhang's tongue! Shen Yongjie confirmed the news. Angry that her hands trembled, she trembled and pointed at Situ Jianren: "I'll go to my father now and get my daughter's portrait back!" - I don't covet any princesses. If you want to be a princess, let her daughter do it! Shen Yongjie pointed at Zhang's and scolded angrily.
Zhang covered his face crying and said, "I want to too!" Madam, do you think I don't want this Qiaozong'er? But people think the dark fragrance is too small! Otherwise, I'll give me a portrait of my daughter! I'm a good heart, how can you wronged me?! If the eldest lady becomes a princess, it will be a blessing for you and the master, and I don't think I can touch it! β
When Situ Yingsleeve heard the news, his heart sank.
She didn't want to be a princess!
I just quit my marriage with Murong Changqing, and what kind of prince of Northern Qi is here?!
I also want to quietly send portraits......
What do you mean?
It's not a serious idea at first glance!
Shen Yongjie came back from Situ Jianren's side, comforted Situ Yingsleeve and said, "Don't worry, it was just sent in the afternoon, and the prince of Northern Qi has been feasting in the palace, so he may not see it." I'll go back to my mother's house now and tell your grandfather to bring back your portrait. β
Situ Yingsleeve bit her lip and pressed Shen Yongjie's hand, "Mother, it's late, let's go again tomorrow." β
"No, I can't. You can't wait for a moment for this kind of thing. "Shen Yongjie knows very well that when it comes to the imperial power, once the arrow is on the line, there is no advance or retreat.
She only prayed that the great prince had not seen the portrait of Yingsleeve......
Regardless of whether the prince of Northern Qi looks down on Yingsleeve or not, if he knows that this woman is the granddaughter of the prime minister of the Eastern Yuan Dynasty, even if he doesn't like it, he will take her back to be a side concubine.
She couldn't take that risk.
Shen Yongjie put on a cloak, took the maid and the guard, hurriedly got in the car, took the curfew card given to her by Shen Xiang, and hurriedly went to Shen Xiang's mansion.
Situ Yingsleeve didn't follow, because she had her own ideas.
As soon as Shen Yongjie left, Situ Yingsleeve said that she was sleepy and wanted to go back to her room to rest, and asked Cai Qin and Cai Sang not to disturb her.
In fact, as soon as she returned to the room, she changed into the special water cushion, covered it with a black night suit, blew out the lights in the house, and got out of the window.
She habitually walks the backyard bay.
She was going to the Concierge's State Guest House in person to get her portrait back!
Situ Yingsleeve's luck was good, she had just swam ashore from the bay when she met the master who came to see her!
"Master!" When Situ Yingsleeve saw the master at this time, he was simply overjoyed from the sky, and without thinking, he pounced, hugged the master's arm, and cried again.
"What's wrong? What's wrong? "When the master saw Situ Yingsleeve sneaking out in the middle of the night, he knew that something must have happened.
Situ Yingsleeve told him about today's events, and finally choked up and said, "...... Master, I'm going to get my portrait back! I don't want to be a prince's side concubine! β
The master closed his eyes, stared for a long time, and then slowly opened his eyes, and his voice became extremely cold: "Okay, I'll take you to get the portrait." Before I go, though, I'm going to paint another one! As he spoke, he picked up Situ Ying's slender waist, took her to the ground, and rushed away into the distance!
