Chapter 132: The Stammer
And at that point, they will have to slap themselves up.
Although Shen Lian felt that this was the case, but thinking of the two people who had humbly knelt at the door of Wang's house before, he felt that he would not be so resigned.
Even if you don't want your own life, you will definitely humiliate yourself and make yourself lose face.
Soon, the two of them walked to Shen's house.
Following the leadership of Mother Sun, they walked to a room used by the Shen family to meet guests, and when they walked in, Shen Jingde and Qi were talking to the other two people with smiles on their faces.
These two people, one of whom is a little older, and the other is a little younger, should be very similar in terms of image.
As for who these two people were, the memory of the original owner did not appear, and the feeling was very vague.
After seeing her coming, Shen Jingde immediately put on a very serious expression and asked with a little dissatisfaction.
"I sent someone to look for you in the morning, and if you don't come, you have to come to find you in person because Mother Sun has to come to look for you?" Shen Lian casually made up an excuse.
"I ate bad things last night, and my stomach is a little uncomfortable today, so I didn't come here early in the morning."
After hearing this, Shen Jingde just snorted coldly and didn't say anything else.
He himself can see that Shen Lian is enough to give himself face in front of these two people, in other words, he may answer very perfunctory, and he doesn't like to take care of himself.
At this time, Qi Shi spoke.
"You shouldn't have any impression of these two, I saw them when I was young, this is my second brother, you can call him uncle, this is his son, you can call him cousin."
Shen Lian nodded, and shouted obediently, "Uncle is good, brother is good." ”
She is a smart person, she knows how to judge the situation, and she knows that she must not act excessively at this time.
So it's better to do what they want to do honestly, so that they can suffer less.
After Shen Lian sat down, Qi deliberately reminded her again, "My second brother is an official of the imperial court, and he has a lot of power in his hands, and he also takes great care of our family, so you will have to come and go with them often in the future!" Shen Lian understood that this was meant for herself, but it was not a kind persuasion, but it was said with the intention of showing off, just to remind herself.
She could only nod her head awkwardly, indicating that she knew, but she was very impatient, and really didn't want to have too much to do with them.
But there is no way, there are things that she doesn't want to do if she doesn't want to do it, if she wants to survive, she has to do something she doesn't want to do, especially in this era, this is even more important.
Later, Shen Lian didn't say anything more, and always silently echoed and nodded.
However, she soon noticed that someone seemed to be staring at her, and when she looked up, she realized that it was her so-called cousin, who was staring at her intently.
This cousin is a scholar, with a little ink in his stomach, and his father's official position is quite high, which also makes him feel superior since he was a child.
Ordinary people, he can't look down on it, and he won't look at it at all.
After so many years, I have been used to seeing too many beautiful women, and I have long been aesthetically fatigued, but after seeing Shen Lian, I couldn't help but lose my mind a little and looked at it for a long time.
Being stared at by him like this, Shen Lian was a little uncomfortable and a little displeased, but he couldn't directly pick it out, so he couldn't get off the stage.
At present, this situation can only be endured first.
In normal times, she would not say a word and speak directly, but now she can't.
If she was alone, she would not have the slightest fear, and so far, there are many people involved, Yin Chen, Chu Xi and Old Man Wang, and even all the people in the Wang family.
If she did make any moves to resist, she might implicate them.
Shen Jingde is a villain, and such a thing is absolutely done, so she has to try her best to be patient.
All this was also noticed by Shen Jingde and Qi Shi, who were sitting next to them, and the two of them glanced at each other tacitly.
Originally, I thought that if Shen Lian married a rich and noble family, they would be able to borrow a little light, but if they married her cousin, they would receive more benefits.
Although they didn't bring it up, both of them began to slowly think about it in their hearts.
In a blink of an eye, it was lunchtime, and the five of them sat around the table.
Cousin Qi Heng was very enthusiastic and took the initiative to help Shen Lian with vegetables, and he was very attentive.
What his son looks like, being a father naturally understands it very well, and all of this is also seen by Qi You, and his heart is clearer.
Although this Shen Lian has no blood relationship with the Qi family, she still looks good, and she seems to be very smart and clever, and she also has a little understanding of her ability to solve cases, so she is still quite appreciative.
Especially compared with the women that Qi Heng contacted before, they are much better, and they are not at the same level at all, so he is still quite satisfied with this.
"I've never seen my son so kind to anyone, and this is the first time."
There was something in the obvious words, Shen Lian was not stupid, she directly pretended to be stupid and stunned, and there was no response.
But if she didn't speak, it didn't mean that Shen Jingde and the Qi family would give up such a good opportunity.
The two of them were smart people, so they naturally understood what Qi You meant by what he said just now, so they also went along with it.
"This kid is also rare and handsome, talented and capable, if I can marry him, I'm afraid I will be happy in the rest of my life."
Even so, Shen Lian still didn't respond, and her expression was very cold.
Even if she wants to say anything unreasonable and embarrassing to them, it doesn't mean that she is resigned to everything.
Later, Qi You boasted about how powerful he was in the court and how much he had made contributions.
Shen Lian turned a deaf ear to this, she really didn't want to have too much communication with these people, obviously not all the way.
I really didn't want to listen to the braggadocio and praise between them, so I stood up directly.
"I'm sorry, I'll miss it first, I want to go to convenience."
After finishing speaking, she walked out directly, and after showing off the fresh air in the yard, the whole person was a lot more relaxed.
After stretching his body for a while, Shen Lian thought about what kind of excuse he had to find to leave.
While she was thinking about it, Qi Heng walked out of it, and when he saw her standing in the courtyard, he said deliberately.
"Okay, you deliberately made an excuse to come out to breathe."
In this regard, Shen Lian did not hide anything, and directly nodded and admitted.
"That's right, I can't interject what they say, it's hard to sit there, it's better to go out for a walk."
Qi Heng admires this kind of cheerful girl very much, he is used to seeing the kind of woman who tends to be greedy for money and admires, not only admires it very much, but also thinks she is very special.
Shen Lian is a smart person, she naturally knows what this cousin thinks, all his thoughts are obvious, and if she can't see it, she will really become a fool.
Seeing that she didn't speak, Qi Heng took the initiative to start the topic again.
"We met once when we were young, I remember that you were quite searching, thin and chick-like, I didn't expect the female college to change eighteen times, and it became so good-looking, it really impressed my brother."
This is obviously talking about childhood, but in fact, he is just praising Shen Lian's beauty.
This kind of trick, deceiving the kind of woman who has never been out of the boudoir, may be a little useful, but it can be said that it is of no use to her, which is equivalent to a waste of effort.
But Shen Lian was not stupid enough to directly puncture this relationship, and did not respond, just stood there and turned a deaf ear.
But the more she was unwilling to take care of herself, the more Qi Heng's heart itched, hoping that she could take care of herself a little more and say a few more words.
That kind of lonely and cold temperament attracts Qi Heng all the time, making him feel as if he is out of control, and his heart has been completely occupied by her.
"My father and I will stay here for more than ten days this time, so that our brother and sister can have more contact and get to know each other better, just like when we were young."
