CHAPTER XLVII

Early the next morning, Aunt Ying took her father to the door of Bofu, and when she didn't go out, Aunt Ying had already instructed her father, and her father and mother knew her daughter's distress this time, and her momentum weakened, thinking about her daughter, but came to beg the Zhan family, for fear that Zhan Mansion would not take her daughter.

got the order of the young lady, and the person on the door stopped it, and if he didn't let it in, he would report to the young lady quickly.

The young lady Zhao didn't get up well in the morning, the husband and wife were not very happy, and the husband went to the concubine An's room, and he didn't eat breakfast.

Zhao was angry and drank two mouthfuls of porridge, but he couldn't swallow it, so he asked An Shi angrily, "What did your uncle say when he went back yesterday?" ”

The little concubine An is the daughter of a good family, she is docile and well-behaved, good at pleasing the uncle, and is very favored by Uncle Zhan, the uncle and the young lady have a stiff quarrel, resting in her house, she got up early and came to the young lady to wait, Zhao was angry, and he couldn't help but sprinkle on her, and the tone was not good.

An lowered his head, the pleasure under his eyelids, no one noticed it, and said glutinously: "The uncle's face is not very good, and the concubine doesn't dare to ask." Actually, Zhan Shaoxiang didn't dare to take it seriously when he hugged her and made love, she didn't dare to take it seriously, she was not confused, the uncle just said it casually, the grandfather didn't look good on his face, and he was caught by his wife.

"Qiao'er's girl doesn't have to wait in the room, let her wait for Brother Jun'er, and see that his old and uncultivated father has the face to rob the maid with his son." Brother Jun is the son of the Zhao family, and he is six years old this year.

At this time, someone came in, "Back to the young lady, Aunt Ying and the three of them are at the door to enter the house to see Mrs. ”

guessed correctly, Aunt Ying really came, it seemed that she was talking about her parents, and she came together, Zhao knew in her heart that although her mother-in-law was angry, she was still reluctant to let the fetus in her womb, "Let her come in, don't stop her." ”

Mrs. Zhan took a tranquilizer, lit benzoin in the house, and fell asleep peacefully at night, and felt that her head did not hurt so much when she got up in the morning.

"The second master is here, Mrs. Zhilu Dao is angry, she doesn't dare to come in, and waits outside." The little maid went back and forth.

"Let him in." Madame Zhan sighed secretly.

Zhan Shaoting came in, his face was very bad and listless, "Say hello to my mother." ”

Mrs. Zhan sighed lightly, "Where did your good aunt go?" ”

"My son didn't know what to say, but my son didn't ask." Zhan Shaoting said honestly, yesterday's sister-in-law's maid told him that he was upright and didn't have the heart to listen.

"But she has the flesh and blood of the Zhan family in her belly, and she can't be left outside." Mrs. Zhan really couldn't let it go.

"My son went to find her and came back." Zhan Shaoting was a little hesitant, remembering the scene yesterday, Aunt Ying's parents really gave him a headache.

"That small family doesn't know the rules, it's complicated, if you want to take his daughter back, how can you live? Your father blames me for this. ”

"It's all the son's fault, let the mother decide." Zhan Shaoting was still a little reluctant to let go of Aunt Ying.

"Aunt Ying is asking to see her outside the door." As the two of them were talking, the maid said back and forth.

Mrs. Zhan wanted to say no, but was hesitating, and said, "Madam, the concubine has something to say." ”

Aunt Ying walked quickly to the court, knelt down in front of the court, hid her face and cried bitterly, and said while crying, "Madam, poor and poor concubine, don't let the concubine go, the concubine is sincere to the second master, and now that she has the second master's flesh and blood, the concubine is dead and died in the Zhan family, and she won't go, she is the second master's person who is born, and the second master's ghost is dead." ”

Say, sobbing and choking and crying.

When Mrs. Zhan heard her say that she was pitiful, she was angry for seven or eight points, and she was a little embarrassed, "Then your parents can promise you to stay." ”

"The concubines and their mothers have agreed, don't believe me to call them up."

The maid took her parents, and the attitude of the old couple today is different from yesterday, her father went to the court to make a move, and even accompanied him, "The wife of the in-laws sees that I am not a countryman, don't be like us, since my daughter has a child of Linglang, she has to stay in your mansion, and my husband and wife will not come to make trouble." ”

Aunt Ying heard her father call Mrs. Zhan her in-laws, and she was so anxious that she looked at her, but her father didn't look at her.

Mrs. Zhan's tone was a little smoother, and she didn't pick her parents' short knowledge, calling her in-laws, and the big thing was important, so she softened her tone and said: "Your daughter now has the flesh and blood of the Zhan family, it's inconvenient to take it back now, I think it's okay to do this, discuss with you two elders, it's better to wait for your daughter to give birth to a child, and the child will stay in Bofu, and then you will bring your daughter back to the match, okay?" ”

When her father heard this, he sighed and shook his head, and said dejectedly: "In-laws, the children have been born, who is willing to take my daughter back, not a yellow flower girl, no more shameful, I only raised it for nothing, stay in your house, and be a wife and a concubine with you." ”

The mother-in-law felt sorry for her daughter and hurriedly said, "My daughter suffers for your Zhan family and raises her children, if your Zhan family has a conscience, you can't treat it wrong." ”

He said to Zhan Shaoting again: "I said uncle, my wife said don't be angry, Yingniang, you took the lead, and you didn't say hello to us, you are not right first, I heard that you are married to a wife now, can you not be sorry for my daughter, she is for you, she disregards her face, and her father and mother are abandoned, this affection, you must not forget, if I hear that my daughter is suffering, I will not obey." ”

The maid listened to the old woman's stabbing second master call her uncle, pursed her lips and snickered.

Zhan Shaoting stood with his eyebrows twisted, listening to the old woman's words, she was not happy, Aunt Ying saw this, hurriedly stopped her mother, walked to Zhan Shaoting, knelt down and kowtowed solemnly, "The concubine has decided with the second master, and begged the second master not to give up and take him in." ”

Let's say, looking at Zhan Shaoting with tears in his eyes, Zhan Shaoting's heart softened, and he stepped forward to help her up, "What's wrong with you, take care of the baby, don't think about it." ”

"Second child, do you think this .......?" Mrs. Zhan asked what her son meant.

Zhan Shaoting took a step forward and made a move, "Mother, it's all the sons who are in trouble, and now that Yingniang's parents have promised her to stay, they beg their mother to take Yingniang in regardless of their previous suspicions, and beg their mother to see their son." ”

Mrs. Zhan had this intention, and when she wanted her son to bring back Aunt Ying, she had to ask her daughter-in-law, saying that her daughter-in-law had not drunk the tea that Aunt Ying respected.

Xiuju was combing Shen Wanzhen's hair, and a maid in the big room came in and squatted down, "Back to the second young lady, the young lady of my family asked the slave maid to tell the second young lady, Aunt Ying asked to see the lady outside the mansion, and at this time she had gone to the upper room." ”

"Xie Lu, thank you, master." Xiuju combed her black hair into a bun, just to put it away, Wanzhen checked out a hollow peach blossom golden hairpin in the pile box and inserted it diagonally into the sideburns, seeing that there was nothing wrong, and gently spit out a sentence, "Let's go, watch a good show." ”

When Wanzhen entered the door, everyone in the hall looked at her, and Shen Wanzhen first greeted Mrs. Zhan, and then the husband and wife greeted her.

"Daughter-in-law, you came just in time, sit down." Mrs. Zhan said affectionately.

Shen Wanzhen sat down under Zhan Shaoting, and Aunt Ying stood beside Zhan Shaoting when Wanzhen did not enter the door, and when she saw Shen Wanzhen coming in, she reluctantly stepped back.

Aunt Ying's parents, Mrs. Zhan, thought that they were old, and they also ordered someone to move a chair and sit down.

Mrs. Zhan said with a pleasant face: "Daughter-in-law, don't take yesterday's incident to heart, Aunt Ying's father and mother have now promised their daughter to be small, after all, there are children, this matter has to be passed, daughter-in-law, you have a lot of adults, just let her go, no matter how you look at my mother-in-law's face, your second master also misses you for your virtue and generosity, and from then on, the wife and concubine of the husband and wife live in harmony, daughter-in-law, what do you say?" ”

Before Shen Wanzhen could speak, Aunt Ying stepped forward, knelt in front of Zhan Shaoting and Shen Wanzhen, and kowtowed heavily, "The concubine took her father and mother to make amends to the second master and the young lady, and begged the young lady to make a lot of money, and not to worry about the concubine's father." ”

Zhan Shaoting couldn't sit still, turned his head to look at Shen Wanzhen, Shen Wanzhen pretended not to see it, Mrs. Zhan saw this, and said: "Daughter-in-law, if you give a sentence, whether to stay or not, it all depends on your daughter-in-law." ”

At this time, Aunt Ying's father and mother seemed to have rehearsed, and came over together, knelt tremblingly in front of Shen Wanzhen, kowtowed, her father said: "Young lady, she is old and confused for a while, begging the young lady to take the little girl in the house, the little girl has the flesh and blood of the Zhan Mansion, and she can't let the child be born without a father, the flesh and blood are separated, and I beg the young lady to have mercy." ”

The two old men were sad and sad, and kept saying, "I beg the young lady to take in the little girl." ”

This scene makes people look pitiful, and some mothers-in-law lift their clothes and wipe their tears, pitying the hearts of parents all over the world.

If Shen Wanzhen doesn't agree to this scene, it will be like a heinous sinner, Wanzhen looked at the poor Aunt Ying who was kneeling on the ground, and admired Aunt Ying's acting skills and cheekiness from the bottom of her heart.

Everyone stared at the second young lady, only to see that Shen Wanzhen's eyes were red, and there were hidden tears, and she moved to call the maids and daughters-in-law left and right, "Quickly help me up, I have something to say." ”

Everyone hurriedly picked up the three Aunt Ying who were kneeling on the ground.

Shen Wanzhen lowered her head and tapped the corners of her eyes with a handkerchief, "This is the one who sings, Aunt Ying has the heir of the second master, of course she has to stay in the Zhan Mansion, since your second elder agrees, I am too late to be happy, what to say to ask for sin." ”

He said to Aunt Ying again: "As soon as my sister left yesterday, I didn't close my eyes this night, so I got up early and ordered someone to go out to inquire, I'm afraid that my sister will make a mistake, I'm sorry for the second master." ”

With these words, Mrs. Zhan fell to the ground with a stone.

"Daughter-in-law, I haven't hurt you in vain."

Ruan Pozi hurriedly smiled and said, "The second young lady's behavior is admirable. ”

Shen Wanzhen smiled indifferently, "Yesterday's incident is over, my sister will take it back to the second room in a while, so that she can be settled, my sister's body is important, it is not easy to toss, and after the birth, I will ask for a cup of tea and set a name for my sister." ”

These words were unexpected by Aunt Ying, and Shen Wanzhen said it reasonably and could not refute it.

Aunt Ying's father is worthy of Jiang is old and spicy, and said with a smile: "Young lady, Yingniang, it is not troublesome for her to serve tea, now that the name is decided, my second elder is also at ease, the young lady said yes?" ”

Shen Xuanzhen didn't look at him, and looked directly at Mrs. Zhan, "Mother-in-law, Qiaohui is also pregnant now, and her daughter-in-law has already put down her words, and when she gives birth to a son and becomes a concubine, she will do it together with Aunt Ying, wouldn't it be troublesome." ”

Mrs. Zhan thought about it, Qiaohui and Aunt Ying are both pregnant, Aunt Ying's status is a concubine, Qiaohui is a room, it is inevitable that there will be favoritism, besides, who knows that Qiaohui is not a man, Aunt Ying is not a woman, after all, Qiaohui is from her side, and she is emotionally inclined to Qiaohui's side.

Aunt Ying was anxious, she didn't expect Shen Wanzhen to make this move, she had no idea for a while, and after listening to her father, she slowly calmed down, and looked at Zhan Shaoting with a blank eye, hoping that he would come out, if he came out, her husband would speak, even if Shen Wanzhen was dissatisfied, it was not easy to refute, and she would face her husband in public.

Mrs. Zhan saw her thoughts, and without waiting for her son to speak, she made a conclusion, "Ting'er, according to what your daughter-in-law said, after Yingniang gave birth, she is setting her name and going to the family tree." ”

He said to Aunt Ying's father and mother: "Don't worry, your second elder, my Zhan family will not let her follow Shaoting in vain, then again, the son is more precious than the mother, and my Zhan family does not want the children and grandchildren to be inferior, and they can't hold their heads up for their biological mother." ”

Aunt Ying's parents are not good at saying anything, thinking that their daughter has given birth to a son, naturally the Zhan family will not treat them badly.

Only Aunt Ying couldn't say the pain, she was a little low in public, but she didn't even get into a room, and when she gave birth to a child, she was fake pregnant, only she knew the way, and she was clearly calculated by Shen Wanzhen.

"Daughter-in-law! Aunt Ying will live with me first, and after two days, you will clean up the house and let her pass. Mrs. Zhan thought thoughtfully, and ordered someone to arrange for her father and mother to live in the lower place, and when her father and mother were about to leave, she kowtowed to Mrs. Zhan, and thanked Shen Wanzhen, and begged the young lady to take more care of her daughter.

Wanzhen walked out of the upper room, and Xiuju muttered quietly, "The master shouldn't agree." ”

"If Aunt Ying gives birth to a man, I don't know what moths will come out." Mrs. Qian also felt a little regretful that she hadn't been kicked out of the Uncle's Mansion.

"Do you think you can get her out of the country and have a boy? She asked for a blessing for herself. Shen Wanzhen thought of a few women in the second room, that one was trouble-free.

Nothing to say for a night.

The next day, an elegant and ancient three-story restaurant on the bank of the Huichun River, a lively scene every day, but this day it was cold, and the cars and horses were scarce.

On the high pavilion, there is a person standing with his hands in his hands, his eyes are slightly drooping, a red silk sedan chair with blue satin hanging drape, followed by two small sedan chairs, stopped in front of the gate, the small sedan chair behind him landed first, and the maid and servant woman came down quickly, and hurried to the front of the sedan chair, and stood on both sides.

King Anyang stared at the sedan door, stretched out a plain hand in the red felt curtain, and then a woman wearing a cloak of red gold brocade with white fox fur and a snow-white mink fur snow hat appeared at the door of the sedan chair, and the whole person was bathed in the sun, bright and dazzling.

"Third brother, this is not the woman I almost bumped into that day." His Royal Highness the Ninth was immature and did not lose his voice.

"What a beauty." His Royal Highness Seventh became a king, and his eyes blurted out

"What a beauty," Anyang Wang snorted coldly.

"The third cousin of the Shen Mansion?" Wu Jingfang was surprised.

"It's Cousin Ling, the man in the garden that day." King Anyang was a little annoyed, and the meeting only increased the embarrassment, he was a big man, and he was gently lifted by a weak woman and fled.

"Your Highness is talking about ......." Wu Jingfang couldn't believe it, he didn't know much about this cousin, but looking at her as a weak Qianqian, how could this be?

Zhao Shijiao said coldly: "Yes, it is this woman, she came just in time, I will meet her." ”

Wu Jingfang looked at the black face of King Anyang, and was a little worried, Shen Wanzhen is now a person from Zhan Bo Mansion, and he is related to Wu Mansion, and if something happens, Wu Mansion and Bo Mansion are not good-looking.

The corners of Zhao Shijiao's lips were filled with a sinister smile.

When Shen Wanzhen was led into the door by her subordinates, she saw a person leaning on the bed under the window, with a cynical expression, Shen Wanzhen was stunned at the time, this is not one of those gentlemen? Could it be that he is the king of Anyang? I heard that the king of Anyang is not inferior, this person is extremely beautiful, but he has a feminine and noble temperament, it seems that his personality is perverse, is he a heart to trade? Wanzhen was suspicious and had to be extremely careful.

The man squinted at her, his eyes were frivolous, "Young lady, don't come unharmed." "The figure didn't move.

Shen Wanzhen stepped forward generously, "The little woman greets Lord An." ”

"Sit down" His Royal Highness Cheng Wang said lazily, his eyes darting up and down on her from time to time, seeing that Shen Wanzhen was a little annoyed, and her face was silent.

The maid took off her hood and cloak for her, and Shen Wanzhen sat down.

"The second son of Zhan is very blessed and married such an outstanding beauty." King Cheng's words were frivolous, and his face was pale.

Shen Wanzhen frowned, "Is the prince going to talk about Zhuangzi?" If nothing else, the little woman will retire first. ”

Say it, stand up, King Cheng remembered the big event, and hurriedly said: "Slow, the business hasn't been said yet, what is the lady in a hurry to go?" ”

Wan Zhenfu sat down again, patiently listening to him.

King Cheng cleared his throat and pretended, "I heard that you have a Zhuangzi to sell, and you still have to see this prince, are you afraid that this prince is a liar and won't give money?" ”

Before Wanzhen could answer, at this time, a servant came up downstairs, "Back to the prince, the reward from the palace has been delivered." ”

"The Queen Mother has rewarded things early this year."

"The prince forgot, today is a small year, the queen mother and her old man said, after this handful, save the busy work."

King Cheng waved his hand, and the people came to retreat.

Shen Wanzhen had already stood up and said, "The prince is busy, since the buyer does not show his head, the little woman will retire." ”

King Cheng was stunned, how did she know that she was not a buyer?

Wanzhen heard him call the Queen Mother, and knew that he was not the King of Anyang, the King of Anyang was born to the Queen Mother, and he would not call his mother the Queen Mother, but would only call the Queen Mother, this person was obviously not the King of Anyang, an impostor.

King Cheng didn't know it for a while, and watched Shen Wanzhen walk out, stunned and didn't move.

"Madame, stay."

The main owner appeared, Shen Wanzhen only felt that the voice was familiar, and when she turned around slowly, she was stunned.

King Cheng had already vacated the place, and Zhao Shijiao, the king of Anyang, sat firmly in the middle, and his gestures had his own might.

Shen Wanzhen was startled, quickly calmed down, walked back to her seat, and smiled lightly, "Lord An, forgive the little woman for having no eyes." ”

did not mention the events of that day, the two sides knew it, and everyone behind King Anyang except Wu Jingfang did not know the hidden secrets, thinking that they were polite.

"I heard that the lady wants to see this king before she is willing to sell Zhuangzi?" Zhao Shijiao's demeanor was arrogant, and he couldn't help but look up.

"Buying and selling is a legitimate transaction, and the little woman's request is not embarrassing for the prince."

Shen Wanzhen relied on her sensitive woman's intuition, this King of Anyang's lazy appearance seemed to have something very deep hidden, this indescribable feeling, I don't know if it was an illusion of her own, Shen Wanzhen didn't want to have anything to do with him, and the imperceptible gloom in this person's eyes made her feel a kind of vigilance.

"Then I'd like to hear what Madame wants to sell for?" A clear and pleasant voice came.

"The prince is a happy person, so I won't go around the bend, 50,000 taels, a lot." Shen Wanzhen replied simply, she made up her mind to leave this person as soon as possible, and became determined to get rid of this transaction.

"Fifty thousand taels, are you robbing money?" A person jumped next to him, it was King Cheng, his eyes widened, and when he heard Shen Xuanzhen's bid, he jumped up in shock.

"Even your broken Zhuangzi is worth 50,000 taels, robbery?" If King Cheng hadn't had the third brother beside him, he would have jumped to his feet and scolded.

"What a lion opens his mouth, don't you see who the buyer is?" The voice of disdain came from one side, and it was Lin Mingxuan, the second son of Lin Shangshu, who spoke.

Zhao Shijiao coughed with a heavy face, his eyes pressed down on the crowd, and King Cheng was angry and unwilling to sit on the chair.

"Fifty thousand taels, I can buy the entire Xishan." Zhao Shijiao was not like his brother, he sat calmly and did not move, but there was a trace of contempt at the corner of his lips.

Shen Wanzhen smiled innocently, "The priceless baby prince is not rare and worthless, my broken Zhuangzi, the prince wants, it is a priceless treasure." ”

Zhao Shijiao looked at the woman in front of him, no wonder Chen Fu came back to persuade him not to buy it, it was really difficult, partial and smart, and it was even more difficult to deal with.

"Well said! Since the lady thinks that this king must buy it, don't you think the price is a little lower? Zhao Shijiao was quite sarcastic.

"Thank you for mentioning it, how about 60,000 taels?" Shen Wanzhen made a look of remorse, and said seriously in the blink of an eye.

said it lightly, as it should be, Zhao Shijiao suffocated in his chest, and finally couldn't hold his breath a little, "Madame, not a joke?" ”

"Seriously, the little woman doesn't dare to deceive the prince if she has a few heads." Shen Wanzhen's face was solemn.

This pretending to be stupid made Zhao Shijiao angry and couldn't get out, the capital was like walking on the ground, how could he seem stupid and mentally retarded in front of this woman.

Shen Wanzhen sat elegantly, revealing a cigarette satin beaded soft-soled embroidered shoe tip under the eight skirts, delicate and delicate, curling and slender waist, and whispering softly, Zhao Shijiao wondered if she kicked the ball over the wall that day.

Suddenly, he said: "Madam, if this king wants to buy it, he should also see if your Zhuangzi is decided, what does Madame think?" ”

"Okay, not a word." It's a blessing or a curse, it's a curse that can't be avoided, the money is yours and yours in the end, it's not that you can't ask for it, since he has to buy it, then she is not afraid to sell it.

The two sides immediately finalized the date, and met Zhuangzi later.
