The subordinates of the Zhou Mansion are very attentive to help Jiang Qinse recuperate, and there is no mother-in-law to make it difficult, out of the confinement, Jiang Qinse's body is raised, and her complexion looks very good, but her body is still much plumper than before, and she can't lose weight for a while.

Shen Bai's hand was still held by Gu Hengzhou, and he didn't let go of Jiang Qinse's hand, and replied with a smile: "I happened to be on the way with the Great Commander, so I came over together." ”

It is not much of a way to go from the palace to the Prime Minister's Mansion and from the Grand Commander's Mansion to the Prime Minister's Mansion, and Shen Bai is sitting in the carriage of the Grand Commander's Mansion, not the carriage in the palace, which is really not very appropriate.

Jiang Qinse saw it clearly, and he didn't break it, his eyes wandered between Shen Bai and Gu Hengzhou for a while, and he said softly: "Commander Gu is really good to the Oriental girl, and standing together is also a match made in heaven." ”

Although Shen Bai didn't like Jiang Qinse very much, it still sounded pleasing to the ear, the corners of her lips hooked, and said, "Mrs. Xie Zhou praised, it's not early, let's go sit first." ”

"Okay."

Jiang Qinse responded, one step behind Shen Bai and walked inside.

The maid came in after her, Shen Bai glanced at it, and asked curiously, "Why didn't Mrs. Zhou bring the little young master?" ”

Jiang Qinse didn't expect Shen Bai to ask this, and subconsciously looked at Shen Bai with defensive eyes, Shen Bai's expression was natural, just asked casually, Jiang Qinse replied gently: "Drink less, I am young, I am afraid of life, and there are few things to eat, so it is inconvenient to bring it out, so let the nurse take care of it at home, and I will go back after attending the banquet, and it will not be long." ”

"It's hard work for Mrs. Zhou." Shen Bai sighed and said, the maid took the congratulatory gift and asked the concierge to write it, Jiang Qinse looked at Shen Bai and said: "The Oriental girl is really similar to the eldest lady of Xiangfu, especially when you stand here and talk to me, even the expression and tone are exactly the same, and I don't know how Xiangye will feel when he sees the girl for a while." ”

How can Old Man Shen feel? Of course, I couldn't have been happier.

Shen Bai said in his heart, Jiang Qinse didn't know, and said quietly: "Xiangye's beloved daughter has been missing for three years, and his young son has also died. ”

The porter's hand trembled and looked up at Jiang Qinse in surprise.

Although this matter seems to be a fact, it is a bit too harsh to be said so clearly by Jiang Qinse.

Shen Bai still had a smile on his face, but Gu Hengzhou had a cold face and looked at Jiang Qinse coldly.

This look is full of power, most people will feel scared, but Jiang Qinse doesn't care much, after all, she is the wife who has won the command, this is still at the gate of the Prime Minister's Mansion, even if Gu Hengzhou can't listen to her, he will not do anything to her.

She bent her eyebrows and said almost meanly: "It's okay just to be stimulated by the Oriental girl, Commander Gu was still the fast son-in-law of the Prime Minister's Mansion at the beginning, and now he wants to marry someone else, which is really chilling." ”

This was quite excessive, Shen Bai tilted his head and asked, "What does Mrs. Zhou mean by this?" As far as I know, Grand Commander Gu and the eldest lady of the Prime Minister's Mansion have only been engaged verbally, and they have never even had a marriage letter, and the eldest lady of the Prime Minister's Mansion has disappeared for no reason, so does the Grand Commander Gu still want to marry her for the rest of his life? ”

Jiang Qinse said: "Li'er is such a Li'er, I'm just sorry for Prime Minister Shen." ”

You're about to write the word schadenfreude on your face, what's so difficult?

Shen Bai slandered, smiled more and more flatteringly, and said gently: "The prime minister has been thinking about the people of Zhaoling all his life, and what he has in his chest is the society of Zhaoling, and he is broad-minded, so he will definitely not be like Mrs. Zhou, who will trouble herself for these things." ”

Shen Bai said that Shen Ruxiu was broad-minded, which was to imply that Jiang Qinse was narrow-minded, Jiang Qinse's face changed slightly, Shen Bai didn't give her a chance to interject, and continued: "The prime minister has great love in his heart, his daughter has disappeared without a trace, since I am so similar to his daughter, I think he can also love the house and Wu, take pity on me a little, although I am not familiar with him, but I can also repay the favor and respect him as an elder, so wouldn't everyone be happy?" ”

Shen Bai asked rhetorically, Jiang Qinse was dissatisfied, and there was no smile on his face, and he said coldly: "The Oriental girl really wants to be beautiful, and she wants to be the fatherly love of the prime minister, is it really so good to be the noble daughter of our Zhaoling family?" ”

"I am the first family of Nanxiang Miss Yan, in Nanxiang is also considered to be powerful, a collection of thousands of favors, how can in Mrs. Zhou's mouth, more like a woman who has exhausted her organs and sought to win the favor of others?" Shen Bai retorted confidently, Jiang Qinse also knew the status of the Dongfang family in Nanxiang, and tried hard to manage his expression and said, "I naturally don't mean this. ”

Shen Bai didn't eat this, stared at Jiang Qinse and said: "I heard that Mrs. Zhou is the first talented woman in Hanjing, and I thought that Miss Jiang was full of poetry and books, and she had a broad knowledge, which was different from ordinary women in the market. ”

Shen Bai stopped at the point, which did not make Jiang Qinse particularly embarrassed, but this was also very embarrassing, Jiang Qinse's expression was cracked, and he couldn't help asking: "What does the Oriental girl mean by this?" ”

Xu was just out of the confinement, Jiang Qinse couldn't hold her breath anymore, and she couldn't feel comfortable in a hurry, of course Shen Bai was not polite, she bent her eyes and said, "I mean, Mrs. Zhou, the first talented woman, is nothing more than that." ”

That's it.

These five words are all Shen Bai's evaluation of Jiang Qinse, Jiang Qinse's face turned green instantly, and she trembled with anger, and the maid behind her was also not very smart, seeing that Jiang Qinse was bullied, she subconsciously rushed up to help Jiang Qinse get justice, pointed at Shen Bai and said: "You are bold, my wife is the lady of His Majesty's own command!" ”

Gu Hengzhou took Shen Bai into his arms, looked at the maid coldly, his eyes were cold, and the cold coercion spread silently, and the maid was inexplicably weak, and weakly withdrew her hand.

The porter in charge of writing the ceremony was frightened, for fear that they would fight at the door, so he fought hard: "The commander, the Oriental girl, Mrs. Zhou, the ceremony has been written, go in and sit and rest." ”

After the porter finished speaking, someone immediately stepped forward to lead the way.

With Gu Hengzhou here, Jiang Qinse was not easy to deal with, so he let the maid help him in.

Shen Bai and Gu Hengzhou fell behind, Shen Bai stared at Jiang Qinse's back and said lightly: "Even the son who has just completed the moon can be left alone, Mrs. Zhou won't want to make anything today, right?" ”

Gu Hengzhou hugged Shen Bai's shoulders and said softly: "It's okay to make trouble, you can't make a mess." ”

He can even suppress so many soldiers and horses in Yuexi, where can he be afraid of these ghosts and ghosts in Hanjing?

The male and female guests were seated, Shen Bai gave Gu Hengzhou a thumbs up, praised him, and went to the women's area with his subordinates.

The others came one after another, Shen Bai sat in his place and didn't talk to anyone, and when Lu Xiu came, he asked her to sit with him.

Lu Xiu's face was not very good, and he looked a little tired, and Shen Bai asked with concern: "I haven't seen you for a while, but what happened?" ”

Lu Xiu glanced at Jiang Qinse from a distance, and said in a low voice: "My aunt knew about my relationship with the garment shop, and they were very angry and asked me to hand over all the money I have earned over the years, and they are still talking about marrying me off these days." ”

Lu Xiu is almost eighteen years old this year, she has not yet married, and she is already a leftover girl in Beijing, and the Lu family has not publicized her marriage before, either because she is not interested in her, or she just thinks that she can make a fuss about her marriage, and now she knows that she has opened a ready-to-wear shop with Chabai and them in private, probably because she feels that she is not safe enough, so she wants to find someone to send her out.

"Why should you give them the money you earned?" Shen Bai asked in a low voice, Lu Xiu took a sip of sweet tea and drank it, but he didn't care much about money, and said softly: "My aunt has been eating, dressing and living all these years, and it's nothing to give them money, but I still hope to make my own decisions about marriage." ”

Naturally, it should be like this.

Shen Bai nodded in agreement, Lu Xiu finished drinking tea, smiled apologetically at her, and said: "Actually, I can go out today, it's all thanks to you, I told them that I have a good relationship with you, and I made an appointment to go shopping together after today's banquet, if you miss the appointment, you will come to the house to find me." ”

Shen Bai has always felt that Lu Xiu is a very smart and cute girl, and she can see it from her previous life.

When people are at a disadvantage, they must use all available resources to protect their best interests.

"We'll go out for a walk later that night, and I'll send you back to Lu's house later." Shen Bai said calmly, Lu Xiu's eyes were filled with gratitude, and then he grabbed Shen Bai's hand and said, "Actually, I still have something to ask for." ”

"What?"

"I want to ask you to help me talk about kiss."

Lu Xiu's voice became lower and lower, and her ears unconsciously climbed into redness, pink and tender like pearls, which was very good-looking.

Shen Bai knew that she was being in a hurry, and asked curiously, "Do you have someone you like?" ”

Lu Xiu followed the Queen Mother, she was quite constrained by the rules, and she never thought that she would have to propose to Shen Bai one day, so she said embarrassedly: "It's not a favorite, but I think it's quite appropriate." ”

Shen Bai nodded and asked calmly, "Who?" ”

Lu Xiu looked left and right to make sure that no one was approaching, so he leaned into Shen Bai's ear and whispered, "It's Xu Yuan, the second son of Shaoqing of Dali Temple." ”

Xu Yuan's Shen Bai has heard of it, he is a bookworm, in his last life, he accidentally learned that the Shen family had two solitary books, and he followed Shen Bai for a long time, but he found that Shen Bai always stayed in the dust of Lanyue Pavilion at night, and scolded Shen Bai many times behind his back.

In terms of women, Xu Yuan can definitely be regarded as a decent gentleman, but he is inevitably too serious, in the memory of Shen Bai's previous life, his wife made trouble with him because of this.

Unlike Zhao Mingyi's situation where he was deceived into marriage, Xu Yuan was not interested in this aspect at all. Ivy

A good girl, who wants to marry him and be a widow?

Shen Bai didn't know if Lu Xiu had inquired about these situations, and said euphemistically: "Have you asked someone to understand the situation?" He shouldn't be young, right, he hasn't been married, isn't there anything greasy in this? ”

Shen Bai was kind, Lu Xiu didn't hide it, and immediately said: "I have asked someone to inquire, and I have seen him a few times, he likes to read, he has never been married, he is indeed a little wooden, and sometimes he even forgets the people around him because of a book, I think he is very cute, I don't want to live a rich and noble life, and my background is here, no matter how good a person is, I can't reach it, so it's okay." ”

Lu Xiu lived a very sober and contented life.

In her last life, she was always with the Green Lantern Ancient Buddha, and in this life, she had to marry someone to be a widow, and this fate was inevitably too bumpy.

Shen Bai had a measure in his heart, and said seriously: "I will take this matter to heart, and help you ask as soon as possible, don't worry, if someone in the Lu family forces you again, you will say that Gu Hengzhou recognizes you as a righteous sister, your father and brother are not in Beijing, how can you let your righteous brother agree to the marriage matter." ”

Lu Xiu was stunned and hesitated: "This ...... Not so good. ”

She and Gu Hengzhou are not familiar with each other, and Gu Hengzhou's temperament is so cold, in case she shows her stuffing......

Lu Xiu was very uneasy, Shen Bai patted her on the shoulder and gave her a reassuring look, and Lu Xiu swallowed the question on his lips.

Miss Shen is a strange woman, and what she says is always credible.

After the two finished talking, the female dependents were almost there, and the servants led the guests to sit down in an orderly manner.

I don't know if Shen Ruxiu said something to Sun, today Sun also came out from Xiruoyuan to preside over the overall situation, her face is still not very good-looking, her spirit is a little better, and the ladies of the family who are familiar with her are all sitting around her and relieved, Sun cheered up and responded, but from time to time she still had to pinch the silk handkerchief to wipe her tears.

Shen Bai couldn't stand it for a while, got up and walked to Sun's side, looked around, and asked curiously: "What are you ladies talking about so happily, don't mind letting the juniors listen to it." ”

Asking with words, Shen Bai sat down next to the Sun family unceremoniously, as if he was the master of the Prime Minister's Mansion, and the eyes of several ladies of the family looked at Shen Bai differently.

Sun had only seen Shen Bai on the day of Shen Po's accident, and today was the second time, although she had been mentally prepared, when Shen Bai sat next to her, her expression still changed a little.

One of the ladies immediately asked, "Madam, how is it, it is indeed very similar, right?" ”

Sun nodded, her eyes were red and swollen, and she didn't know that she was here to cry.

Let's not talk about obscurity, it's also a joke for people to see it.

Shen Bai looked at the lady who was the first to speak, and said with a smile: "I know that I am very similar to the missing eldest lady of Xiangfu, but the eldest lady has not been found after all, today is a good day for Xiangye's birthday, and the lady specifically mentioned the eldest lady, isn't she deliberately poking their sadness?" ”

The Sun family won't cry for Shen Bai.

Everyone slandered, but it was not easy to say it directly, the lady named by Shen Bai was a little embarrassed, Shen Bai said to Sun again: "Today is a good day for the Prime Minister's Mansion, even Your Majesty will personally come to congratulate the Prime Minister on his birthday, this is the royal family's attention to the Prime Minister's Mansion, so Long En can't be asked for by others, and it is normal for Mrs. to be so happy that she wants to cry, but it's not good to cry too much." ”

Shen Bai hinted that the Sun family should stop crying, the Sun family was already depressed, and now he felt more and more wronged, and he couldn't stop crying.

The other ladies secretly looked at the joke, and said with false relief on their lips: "The prime minister's wife's child died not long ago, and it is normal to be sad, she is the prime minister's old man, and no one can stand it." ”

Sun originally restrained himself from thinking about Shen Po, but when he was mentioned like this, his emotions that he had finally sorted out collapsed again.

Shen Bai didn't stop Sun from crying, just looked at those ladies, and said indifferently: "The prime minister is in good health, he can have an old man three years ago, and maybe he can have it in three years, take 10,000 steps back and say, even if you can't rely on yourself to have children, with the ability of the prime minister's house, it is more than enough to adopt a group of children, not to mention whether these children can grow up or not, anyway, let the prime minister take care of them for a long time." ”

Shen Bai said this quite reasonably, but these ladies of the family disagreed, and sneered: "How can this adopted child be good for his own children, besides, those orphans, who knows if they killed their family because of their fate?" ”

This was a bit vicious, but the other ladies of the family nodded vigorously in agreement.

Shen Bai was not in a hurry, he looked at the wife of the Ministry of Industry and said: "There is indeed a difference between biological and adopted, if I remember correctly, this lady should have given birth to four sons, and we are the best at giving birth in Hanjing." ”

Zhaoling has always been patriarchal, and women are proud to give birth to sons, and this lady also has a slightly higher status among these family ladies because she gave birth to four sons.

At this time, she was named by Shen Bai, she couldn't tell friend from foe, and habitually showed a smug smile, but the next moment she heard Shen Bai say: "Madame, these four sons are all young masters of Jingui, carefully raised, the eldest son got married early, but he has no ability, he has not been promoted since he joined the office, not long ago, it seems that he was dismissed and exiled because of favoritism, right?" ”

The lady's face stiffened, and Shen Bai continued: "The second son of the lady is not to be inferior, eating, drinking, prostituting and gambling everything, and now he should have a lot of diseases. As for the third son of the lady, he is even more powerful, he is debauched, he only knows how to eat, drink and have fun all day long, and when he gets up, he even beats his own father, and his fists and feet are very powerful. ”

Four sons, three scum, the lady was poked in the sore spot, her face couldn't hold it, she stood up suddenly, didn't dare to look at other people's expressions, and said uncomfortably: "I'm not feeling well, find a place to rest." ”

The lady left in a hurry, Shen Bai swept around the other ladies, and sneered in a low voice: "What are you doing in such a hurry, I haven't talked about the most powerful fourth young master." ”

Shen Bai's voice was not high, but the others were paying attention to them and did not speak, and when Shen Bai looked at them like this, everyone else was frightened, and inexplicably felt that Shen Bai seemed to know Hanjing well, and he had a clear grasp of the that could not be put on the surface.

No one wants to be exposed in public like this, and no one dares to speak again after being silent for a while.

The ears were finally cleaned, Shen Bai took a handkerchief to help Sun wipe his tears, and said softly: "Anyway, you are now the only lady of the Prime Minister's Mansion, the eldest lady is missing, you are the only hostess of the mansion, take 10,000 steps back and say, even if there is no child to rely on, as long as there is Xiangye, you don't have to look at anyone's face no matter where you are." ”

Shen Bai's analysis was clear, Sun gradually stopped crying, Shen Bai changed his words and said: "Even if the eldest lady gets it back, she is going to get married, the Prime Minister is always up to you, and there is no old guy above to call you to make you settle down in the morning and dusk, you live a leisurely and comfortable life, how many people can't envy it, what else do you have to think about?" ”

Sun was stunned by Shen Bai's words, and Shen Bai gave her another dose of fierce medicine, saying: "All your reliance is Xiangye, as long as you treat him well and let him take care of his body, what else can't you get?" ”

These words were full of implication, and a thin blush appeared on Sun's face, and some people really couldn't stand it, so they snorted in a low voice: "Disrespect for the old." ”

The man was hiding in the crowd, and he couldn't see who it was, Shen Bai only glanced at him coldly, and said in a loud voice: "When Emperor Xuanwu was sixty years old, he also let the imperial concubine give birth to a little prince, so he is also disrespectful to the old man?" ”

When Shen Bai said this, Zhao Mingyi happened to walk in with Zhao Mingxi.

After the last time, Zhao Mingyi and Shen Bai also had a fateful friendship, and when they heard it, they knew that Shen Bai was fighting with these ladies of the family again, and immediately answered: "My emperor's great-grandfather is a famous Ming monarch in the history of Zhaoling, who dares to say that he is disrespectful?" ”

After Zhao Mingyi finished speaking, he pulled Zhao Mingxi and walked in front of Shen Bai, and the others immediately got up and saluted to meet Her Royal Highness the Princess.

Zhao Mingyi casually said goodbye, sat next to Shen Bai, saw Sun crying sadly, relieved a few words, and took off the gold jade bracelet in his hand to her.

The Sun family is timid and not atmospheric enough, and is always excluded among the ladies of the family, and it is not the turn of the front position to participate in banquets on weekdays, let alone talk to the princess.

At this time, he was rewarded, Sun was a little stupid, he didn't care about being sad, he was stunned for a while, and hurriedly squeezed out a smile to thank him, and asked the maid to prepare the food, his voice was a lot lighter, and he didn't feel so depressed.

Zhao Mingyi and Zhao Mingxi both liked Shen Bai, and after they came, they came to talk to Shen Bai, and they didn't pay much attention to the others.

Jiang Qinse was scolded by Shen Bai at the gate, and he sat far away without stepping forward, and the others didn't dare to speak, so the Sun family was much more comfortable.

The auspicious time soon arrived, everyone took their seats, and the servants served the food in an orderly manner.

The menu was drawn up by Shen Bai himself, six steamed dishes, six stir-fried dishes, six cold dishes, six desserts, and six soups, each dish is not much, but it is very exquisite, enough to see and eat, and it will not be too extravagant.

There is no hostess in the Prime Minister's Mansion who can stand up to the scene, these people are still waiting to see the joke, but they didn't expect that as soon as the dish was served, it was quite like that.

The male and female guests were divided, Shen Bai didn't know how the men's area was, anyway, the female guests saw that the dishes were almost served, so Shen Bai asked Sun to order the banquet.

The female guests don't drink much, and there is no problem with the men toasting from table to table, and they eat quietly after the food is served.

The cook was invited from the Chasing Crane Tower, and the cooking skills were quite good, Shen Bai hurried to eat a bowl of rice, and wanted to add another bowl, but a cry of pain sounded suddenly.

Shen Bai put down the dishes and chopsticks, stood up immediately, and followed the prestige, in the most corner of the banquet, Sun was lying on the ground with his lower abdomen covered and rolling his eyes and twitching, and the corners of his lips overflowed with white foam.

The people at the table with the Sun family were all frightened, and someone exclaimed, "Dead! ”
