Seventy-first

did not wait for the banquet to end, Mrs. Zhan left the table early, Mrs. Zhan's work and rest are very regular and well-maintained, therefore,, the charm still exists, Shen Wanzhen looked at her mother-in-law, she must have been a beauty when she was young, Mrs. Zhan came out, and her mother-in-law Wu and her aunt Jiang and Zhen left the table to see each other.

Out of the middle gate, Zhan Shaoting was already waiting there, seeing Shen Wanzhen helping her mother out, and hurriedly stepped forward, "Mother." ”

Squinted at Shen Wanzhen, immediately turned his gaze, but unconsciously glanced at it, Shen Wanzhen was as light as a daisy, but he exuded charming charm, he didn't let go, didn't want to leave his wife, did he feel a little reluctant in his heart.

Shen Wanzhen never looked at him, Zhan Shaoting was a little tender, and turned into a resentment, angered by Shen Wanzhen's coldness, because his mother was in front of him, he didn't dare to speak presumptuously, so he swallowed this breath.

Shen Wanzhen helped Mrs. Zhan get into the sedan chair, and just wanted to lift her legs, Zhan Shaoting said coldly behind her, "You are a housewife, you should care more about the concubine who is pregnant with a child for your husband, don't always think about irrelevant things." ”

Shen Wanzhen knew what Aunt Ying said again, which made him unhappy, and she didn't pay attention to him, Mrs. Zhan was still waiting for her in the sedan chair, and she raised her legs.

When the sedan chair got up, Mrs. Zhan drank some wine, she was a little dizzy, leaning on the back of the chair and closing her eyes, Shen Wanzhen took the blanket on the chair and covered it for Mrs. Zhan, "You can also stare at it for a while, I see that you haven't drunk much." Madame Zhan said with her eyes closed.

"My daughter-in-law didn't dare to drink more, for fear that she would feel sick to her stomach after drinking too much." Shen Wanzhen pulled the felt blanket down again and covered Mrs. Zhan's legs.

Madame Zhan stopped talking, did not make much effort, and let out a slight snoring sound.

Shen Wanzhen also relied on thinking about her own thoughts, how could she save Wu Yulian? My aunt is ruthless, ordinary people can't listen to their words, my mother-in-law has a little face in my mother's house, Shen Wanzhen looked at her sleeping mother-in-law, shook her head, and said, my mother-in-law will only blame her for being nosy, my mother-in-law doesn't care, and my mother-in-law Wu will not care about such things, and my mother-in-law hates restless concubines the most.

Suddenly, Wanzhen remembered that she accidentally bumped into Wu Yulian last time and threw herself into her arms, Pingyuan waited for Zhao Zhang's eyes, as if she took pity on the jade, and had a flash of inspiration, maybe Pingyuan Hou could save her, Shen Wanzhen's eyes lit up, and she sat up straight.

After a while, he leaned back lazily, although he thought of a way, how could he make Pingyuan Hou know that Wu Yulian's life could be exchanged for Pingyuan Hou's mercy, these were uncertain.

No matter what, she always has to try, she can't watch Wu Yulian die, her aunt is now not even letting her marry the imperial merchant Gu family, she will definitely take her life,

Suddenly, a thought, maybe the king of Anyang can help, but there is nothing to find the king of Anyang, will it make him think more, Shen Wanzhen believes that as long as the king of Anyang is willing, he can help with this, in terms of seniority, Pingyuan Hou is the uncle of the king of Anyang, if he speaks from the side, Pingyuan Hou accepts Wu Yulian as a concubine, it is not impossible, but it doesn't hurt to have one more concubine and one less concubine in Pingyuan, Pingyuan Hou is in the northwest all the year round, and his temperament is arrogant, even if he knows the truth of the matter, he will not mind Wu Yulian's small flaws in women's morality, yes, that's the idea, Find a way to let Pingyuan Hou take Wu Yulian to the northwest, and after another thought, it can be seen that the king of Anyang always has to have an explanation.

Shen Wanzhen remembered the silver ticket, with it, she didn't want to return his silver ticket, it was just an excuse.

The sedan chair flickered and landed, Shen Wanzhen lifted the sedan curtain, and saw a string of red lanterns in front of the Bofu Gate, lit early, the way of heaven was not too late, it was slightly dark, at this time, Mrs. Zhan also woke up, and said in a daze: "It's here so soon." ”

"Mother is asleep, that's fast." Shen Wanzhen said, stepping out of the sedan chair first.

Zhan Shaoting had already dismounted, rushed to the sedan chair, helped Mrs. Zhan down, and replaced it with a two-person sedan chair carried by the stout mother-in-law of the Bofu, Shen Wanzhen ignored Zhan Shaoting, and got into another soft sedan chair.

The maid and the mother-in-law hugged Mrs. Zhan's sedan chair and went directly back to the upper room, and the soft sedan chair that the husband and wife sat on stopped at the boundary of the second room one after the other.

Xiuju and Qiaoshan helped Shen Wanzhen to take a small sedan chair, she glanced back, and saw that a soft sedan chair was parked behind her, Feng'er whispered: "The second master is behind, is the young lady waiting for the second master?" ”

Speaking kung fu, Zhan Shaoting walked this way, Shen Wanzhen was not easy to hide, slowed down, and waited for Zhan Shaoting to catch up, the husband and wife were one step apart, Zhan Shaoting's eyes were slanting, seeing that Shen Wanzhen was not close, he felt uncomfortable, and said coldly: "Come here, get closer, I have something to say to you." ”

Shen Wanzhen walked forward, ignoring him indifferently, Zhan Shaoting gritted his teeth, and secretly hated in his heart, "Have you thought about it?" What about the yen room? ”

Shen Wanzhen still ignored him, Zhan Shaoting finally couldn't help it, and pulled her, "Women are three from four virtues, marry from their husbands, do you still use me to teach you?" ”

Shen Wanzhen shook off his hand, "The man is loyal and filial piety, and the righteousness is trying to ask the husband if he has done it?" ”

A sentence poked Zhan Shaoting's sore spot, and he said hatefully: "Since you marry me, you should fulfill your wife's obligations." ”

"Flower candles in the cave room, why don't you do your husband's duty." Shen Wanzhen sneered at each other, her tone was contemptuous, and she had no respect for her husband, and then accelerated her pace.

Zhan Shaoting was so blocked by her words that he had nothing to say, he was annoyed and angry, took a few steps forward, pulled her shoulders, gritted his teeth and said fiercely: "Do you want me to use strong?" ”

Shen Wanzhen tried her best to break free, and at the same time shook off coldly, "You are not afraid that I will cut off your descendants." ”

This sentence, Zhan Shaoting let go of his hand, stunned in place, and looked at her suspiciously, this Shen family is rude to the extreme, and she is also the daughter of Wupin Zhizhou, her upbringing is so unbearable, the words she said are unbelievable, but she is pitiful on the outside, but she is barbaric and unreasonable.

Zhan Shaoting was afraid in his heart, but he refused to admit defeat, "You don't dare." ”

"Why don't you dare, it's a big deal that the jade is burned, but it's just a life, if you give it, I will give it." The corners of Shen Xuanzhen's lips raised.

Zhan Shaoting almost couldn't believe his ears, but the cruel words were said softly, which became more and more terrifying.

Zhan Shaoting looked at her suspiciously, seeing that she didn't look like she was talking and playing, if this woman changed her face, her words and demeanor shocked him.

Is this the gentle and virtuous wife that he Zhan Shaoting married? Is this still the virtuous daughter-in-law who will behave and be sensible as her mother said? If my mother had heard her say this, she would have fainted with fright.

This woman seemed to be really unprovoked, Zhan Shaoting looked annoyed, turned around and quickened his pace, and hurried away.

Shen Wanzhen looked at his back, as if she was about to run away from herself, and laughed silently.

Xiuju and the others were far away, and when they saw the master and his wife talking, they slowed down and didn't dare to listen, at this time, they saw that the second master hurriedly left, and then caught up, "Why did the second master go, angry?" ”

Shen Wanzhen couldn't hold back her laughter, and nodded the corner of her lips with a handkerchief in disguise, "No, the second master is in a hurry, so I'll go back first." ”

Embroidered chrysanthemums and others believe in it.

There was a maid hiding next to the moon gate of the flower wall, looking at Shen Wanzhen's room, seeing Zhan Shaoting hurrying to the inner courtyard, he rushed back to tell Aunt Ying that he had gone.

The two rough little girls carried water and sprinkled the room, and when they were tired from work, they sat on the low pestle and chattered, "The one in the west side courtyard has been angry these days, and he called Fu's mother several times a day, so that his feet do not touch the ground." "A little girl in silver and red armor looked west along the half-rolled red gold brocade cotton door curtain.

"The girl on the red note is so strong, she was pinched by her, hiding in the house, not daring to show her head, even Sister Yu'er saw that the people in the West House were not in the yard, so she dared to go out to fetch water on the well platform, and the young lady hindered the face of the lady and the second master, and she didn't dare to say more." Another little girl who wears onions and green is straight-mouthed, and she can't get used to Aunt Ying's arrogance, hugging for the red note, and hugging for the housemother.

"The master is back." The little girl in the silver and red armor saw the light and shadow swaying outside the courtyard gate, and hurriedly stood up, and the two of them went out to the door of the hall, standing on both sides, and standing in a proper manner.

As soon as Shen Wanzhen returned to the room, she sat idly in her wide clothes, looked at Mrs. Qian in the room, waved her hand to let her approach, and said a few words in her ear, Mrs. Qian hesitated a little, "Does this make it?" ”

"Make."

Mrs. Qian went to the drawer of the chest of drawers, found the post of Second Master Zhan, put it in her arms, touched it with her hand, and went out of the door of the hall, Qiao Shan carried a pot of boiling hot water and walked towards the upper room, and asked, "Mom went there so late?" ”

"Take leave with the young lady, and go home to my nephew." Let's say, Mrs. Qian left in a hurry.

Qiao Shan stood there, looking at her heart, this old woman is chattering, and she will only leave the house sooner or later. ”

Zhao Shijiao had just come back from outside, and he was in wide clothes, and he heard that the palace people said that someone outside the palace asked to see him, and it was from Zhan Bo's mansion, so he asked, "What kind of person is it?" ”

"It's an old woman, holding the post of the second master of Zhan Mansion." Palace humane.

Zhao Shijiao thought to himself, was it sent by Second Master Zhan? I didn't see it last time, so what did I do with my face? I was suddenly overjoyed, could it be that Mrs. Zhan sent it, it is not easy to say it clearly, in the name of Second Master Zhan, otherwise he would not send an old woman to come, if it is Second Master Zhan, he should send a small servant, it makes sense, and he hurriedly said: "Call her in." ”

Mrs. Qian was brought in by a palace person, Mrs. Qian has been waiting for her master all her life, and she has seen big scenes, so she is not in a hurry and methodical, and she kneels first when she comes in and salutes, "The slave maid is from the Bofu of Changyi, and I knock to see the prince." ”

"Get up and speak." Zhao Shijiao looked at the behavior of this old woman, not as if he had never seen the world, but like the woman who came out of the side.

"Every night, come to find this king for something?" Zhao Shijiao hoped that it was Shen Wanzhen who asked him, if he could meet each other, it would be good to say a few words.

Mrs. Qian didn't speak, she looked left and right, Zhao Shijiao understood, and with a wave of her hand, the people on the left and right retreated silently.

"Say it."

"The slave master ordered the slave and maid to come, saying that the prince bought the silver ticket given by the house last time, and wanted to return it to the prince, if the prince is willing to appreciate his face, can he see it?"

A smile rippled on Zhao Shijiao's face, a little incredulous, the woman wanted to return the money she had received, "Is this true?" ”

Mrs. Qian saw that he didn't believe it, and said, "I don't dare to coax the prince if I borrow the courage of my wife." ”

Zhao Shijiao smiled, and said in his heart, what dare not coax this king, what else does she dare not do. ”

"Okay, when and where to meet."

Mrs. Qian didn't expect that the dignified and noble prince didn't have a little shelf, so happily agreed, and when she came, she thought that the prince might only ask for the silver ticket back, so she disdained it and said busily: "The slave master said that the last time Ming'er met, the prince knew the way." ”

Several glass lamps in the dormitory were bright, and Zhao Shijiao's heart also lit up in vain, looking at this old woman felt cute.

The next day, on the banks of the river in the spring, people who have been resting for a winter walk slowly in twos and threes, the river has thawed, the gallery cruise ship is moored on the riverbank, floating out of the clear and pleasant singing, through the veil like smoke, faintly glimpse the figure of the beauty.

Zhao Shijiao had no distractions, standing on a high pavilion on the bank of the Huichun River, his heart beat faster, looking around, the surroundings were quiet, and there was no voice, thinking, what tricks did this woman play, it was to deceive herself into empty joy.

The curtain behind him shook slightly, Zhao Shijiao just turned around, and was surprised to see that a handsome scholar walked out behind the curtain, wearing a jade-colored light gold bamboo leaf pattern brocade robe, wearing a snow-green middle coat, holding a bamboo silk fan sprinkled with gold painting "Songxi Pan Moon Map", shaking gently, clear and handsome, pacing out.

This scholar's face is like a crown of jade, his lips are red and his teeth are white, but he is a little pretty in his writing, the pavilion is covered by curtains, the light is weak, and Zhao Shijiao looks familiar in a trance.

The young scholar closed his fan, stepped forward and bowed, "Xiaosheng see the prince." ”

At this exit, Zhao Shijiao finally couldn't help but laugh.

Shen Wanzhen took off the scholar's hat on her head, her black hair fluttered down, and Zhao Shizhen was stunned.

Zhao Shijiao made a gesture of please, the two sat opposite each other at the table, and the next person served tea and retreated.

Zhao Shijiao's eyes were full of smiles, staring at her and asking, "I heard that Madame is here to repay the king's silver ticket?" He said it with his mouth, but his face didn't believe it.

Shen Wanzhen took out the silver ticket from her sleeve, looked at the number on it, was really a little distressed, and pushed it over from the table.

Zhao Shijiao looked down and looked at the table, but he didn't look at the silver ticket, but stared at the delicate and slender, spring bamboo shoots with sharp tips.

"Lord Wang, please take it back." Shen Xuanzhen's clear voice sounded, and her hand was raised.

Zhao Shijiao's eyes followed the jade hand to the top, looked at her, the corners of his lips raised, and said, "Is it a conscience discovery?" ”

Shen Wanzhen pretended to be ashamed, half-covered her face with a fan, and bowed her head, "Thank you for saving your life." “

Her half-truthful and shy appearance made Zhao Shijiao's heart move, and he wanted to touch her fine white and tender cheeks.

"This king has no shortage of silver, and the lady takes it, and I will give it to the lady." Zhao Shijiao's heart softened, and he just wanted to give her more, if she was happy.

Shen Wanzhen smiled and said delicately: "The prince accepts it, the little woman still has something to say." ”

Zhao Shijiao was relieved, and said in his heart, I said that she didn't just return my silver ticket, no matter how she looked at it, it seemed to be premeditated, and she was afraid that she would be deceived again.

"Madame has something to say."

Shen Wanzhen raised her head slightly, and smiled charmingly, this smile, Zhao Shijiao shook his head again.

"Can the prince introduce the little woman to Pingyuan?"

As soon as the words fell, Zhao Shijiao's face darkened, and he said in his heart, I said that she was so supple today, and she was like two people before, thinking that she had saved her, she was grateful, so she was tender, it seems that she was wrong, she is for another man.

Said coldly: "What? Madame has a good impression of Pingyuanhou? After saying this, he glared at her, and his hands were unconsciously clenched into fists under the table, and his heart rose to his throat.

Shen Xuanzhen's eyes widened, seeing that his expression was stiff, his tone became cold, he blinked, and nodded.

Zhao Shijiao only felt that there was chaos in his mind, suppressed the fire, and said coldly: "When have you seen Pingyuanhou?" ”

Shen Xuanzhen looked at his expression, a little strange, and said in his heart, he was jealous, and raised the corners of his lips, "Wu Mansion." ”

Zhao Shijiao remembered that day when he met Zhao Zhang, saying that he was going to Wu's mansion for a banquet, and it was love at first sight, he only felt that his surroundings were blank, and he suddenly lost his thinking, his body was cold, as if he had fallen into an ice cellar, and he sat upright.

"Lord Wang." Shen Wanzhen called softly and carefully.

Zhao Shijiao's soul returned to his body, and his voice was like nine cold ice, "Are you looking for this king to help you?" ”

Shen Wanzhen nodded again, she had to see Pingyuan Hou to persuade him to agree to marry Wu Yulian.

"Private meeting with Zhao Zhang." Zhao Shijiao still couldn't believe it, and asked again, hoping that Shen Wanzhen would say no.

Shen Wanzhen nodded again.

Zhao Shijiao finally couldn't help it, stood up suddenly, and stared at her deadly, his eyes like knives.

Shen Wanzhen looked at him and called softly, "Lord Wang, you frightened the little woman." ”

Zhao Shijiao saw that her eyes were flowing, clear and pure, and pitiful, as if she was really frightened, and suddenly lost her strength, and sat down in a chair, her mouth was dry, and her chest fell together.

Seeing this, Shen Wanzhen tilted her head to stare at him, and suddenly, she smiled, "Lord Wang, it is a cousin of the little woman who has lovesickness for Pingyuan and wants to send him a letter." ”

Shen Wanzhen can't tell the truth of the matter, Wu Yulian is a woman who has not left the cabinet, which will damage her reputation, and this statement may move King Anyang to wait for peace and death.

"The little woman's cousin fell in love with Ping Yuanhou at first sight, and she didn't think about tea and dinner, and asked the prince for help, otherwise she would definitely die."

In Shen Xuanzhen's words, it is true that Wu Yulian will die, but it is love at first sight, Shen Xuanzhen really dare not say it, maybe, Wu Yulian secretly promised the heroic Zhao Zhangfang, but how deep the feelings are, I really can't talk about it.

Zhao Shijiao only felt that his heart flew up from the bottom of the valley all of a sudden, and he was angry, his throat was blocked, and his eyes were moist.

Shen Wanzhen glanced at his face and asked carefully: "Is the prince afraid that the people's women will be confused for a while and do things that damage women's morality?" ”

Zhao Shijiao's expression was a little embarrassed, and Shen Wanzhen smiled mischievously, "But that Pingyuan is both civil and military, but it is a rare ......." ”

Zhao Shijiao's face was cold again, "It's rare to make my sister a person who can be entrusted with her life." ”

Zhao Shijiao's face changed again, Shen Wanzhen saw his expression fluctuate and change, and sighed in his heart, this is a man with a true temperament, but unfortunately, the mountains are heavy, and he can't think about it, which will only increase the pain.

Zhao Shijiao was tortured by her back and forth, his heart fluctuated, and he was so fragile that he was frightened, thinking to himself, Ping Yuanhou is really good as a man, and he can't let her go to see her, in case..., he said: "Madame's business, this king will do it for you." ”

Shen Wanzhen is waiting for this sentence, she is a woman who easily refuses to meet strangers, King Anyang is a gentleman, who knows what kind of person Pingyuanhou is, the last time she was bumped into by her, she felt that Pingyuanhou was not as reliable as King Anyang, although Pingyuanhou had not heard of lust, but he was not tempted by women, for the sake of safety, Zhao Shijiao agreed, and this matter was eighty percent certain.

Shen Wanzhen left her seat and squatted down to be blessed, "In this way, the little woman thanked the prince for her cousin." ”

"Madame will tell me more about your cousin's situation." Zhao Shijiao is doing things safely, and it is good to act only when he asks for understanding.

"The little woman's cousin is the sister of Wu Jingfang, the second son of Wu Shilang, her maiden name, Wu Yulian, known as the second girl, as long as the prince waits for the woman he met at the door of the study building that day, he will know."

King Anyang thought to himself, there is also this case, Ping Yuanhou is probably also interested in that woman, provoking others, otherwise, a lady of all the people, thinking about how a man can think of lovesickness, thinking of this, he glanced at Shen Wanzhen opposite, and said in his heart, she is afraid that she will not get this disease in this life.

Shen Wanzhen didn't expect the king of Anyang to agree happily, and she was relieved for the most part, and instructed: "If the prince does it, as soon as possible, the cousin of the folk woman will not be able to delay it for two days." ”

King Anyang was puzzled, "So sick?" ”

Shen Wanzhen nodded, and said with some shame: "Let the prince laugh." ”

Zhao Shijiao admired it in his heart and blurted out: "There is such an infatuated woman in this world." ”

"The cousin of the folk woman is one." Shen Wanzhen said it, but she didn't feel blushing.

Zhao Shijiao wanted to ask something but couldn't say it, hesitated for a long time, and said, "Madame too?" ”

"What is it too?" Shen Wanzhen raised her eyebrows and asked knowingly.

"Is Madame a person who can get lovesickness?"

Shen Wanzhen didn't expect him to ask this, so she shook her head when she thought about it, "Does the prince think that kind of person is the people's woman?" ”

Zhao Shijiao thought to himself, but is it not, I am so obsessed, I am afraid that she has not gone to her heart, she loves and hates, and she really wants to catch her and devour her.

"Lord, without further ado, the women will say goodbye and wait for the good news of the prince." Shen Wanzhen said, get up.

Zhao Shijiao hoped that she would stay for a while, even for a while, but she couldn't open her mouth, and she was a little blessed, and she drifted away, and her delicate figure had already disappeared at the staircase, and she sat for a long time.

Chen Fu quietly approached, "Lord Wang, Lord Wang." New faster" called twice, and Zhao Shijiao said: "Find Wu Jingfang." Or even more Chen Fu doesn't know what the prince is going to do, and he doesn't have anything to do with Wu Gongzi, every time Mrs. Zhan meets the prince, the prince can't give up, this is her way.
