Chapter Twenty-Eight: Intrigue and Separation

"Zhou, why are you late, your mother-in-law comes to the door and doesn't want you to welcome you from afar, but why do you even shirk and rub off when you see each other, and don't even bring Zhanbei? Could it be that my old wife is old and frail, and she has stained the eyes of people like you and Zhanbei? That's right, in your profession, the characters you have seen in previous years are all extremely beautiful, and you can't complain about acting like this. ”

The greeting in Zhou Yun's mouth was swallowed instantly, people said that murder is heart-wrenching, Mrs. Shen is really at the peak in this regard, every word is talking about her unchanging background, Shen Fu is there, and she has no idea of participating, but she is wearing too bright today, so she can't help but attract attention,

Zhou Yun said that she couldn't say that Old Madam Shen, so she naturally pointed the finger at Shen Fu, she bent her knees slightly to say a blessing to Old Madam Shen, and then slowly spoke: "Zangzhu, it's not good for you to pestle here, take your sister Dianjiang around, once a year, and bring Aunt Ning and them back after the year, you don't have this good opportunity, you have been close to the three princes of the Nine Emperors for a long time, take this opportunity, but let Dianjiang show her face, she is not bad, and she will be the imperial concubine in the future." ”

Dianjiang gave Zhou Yun a fluttering fairy, but Xian Ning pursed the corners of his lips, opened his voice softly, and mixed with a light cough, but Zhou Yun's face changed suddenly: "No, my aunt and I plan to live in the capital for a long time this year, Dianjiang is already the age of the draft, Zangzhu has a marriage contract, naturally there is no need to enter the palace, and Zhanbei can't be called a ......."

She didn't finish speaking, Zhou Yun's face was extremely embarrassed, this dynasty stipulates that the draft must be a woman from a good family to enter the palace, her Zhanbei is really dragged down by her, and she will not be drafted for life, so she will be so worried about letting her daughter replace Shen Fu and win the favor of the prince, even if it is Song Jin's favor, but she can't ask for it, she is depressed in her heart, and reluctantly smiled: "It's not as good as Dianjiang, no father and no mother, born lucky, the favor of the old lady and you, you are from a scholarly family, you know the etiquette, righteousness and shame, and you want to come to Jiang and raise well." ”

Xianning's expression stiffened slightly, tucked the corners of her eyes with a handkerchief, and stopped talking, but she secretly hated Zhou Yun in her heart for not marrying Shen Chen back then, and was scolded by many protΓ©gΓ©s of the Song family. Shen Fuquan didn't hear the verbal confrontation between the two women, but only thought about how to drop Dianjiang, Old Madam Shen couldn't see Xianning falling into the disadvantage, so she took tea and moistened her lips and said: "Xianning has a good background, and he had a marriage contract with Pei Ping at the beginning, so Dianjiang is naturally not bad." ”

Jiang is still old and spicy, Old Madam Shen spoke, Zhou Yun couldn't refute at all, only lowered her eyes and lowered her eyebrows, only promised to be good, but Dianjiang's mind was lively, and she came to Shen Fu's side with her eyes, and she wanted to be coquettish and stupid, but her hands were not honest, and she wanted to tear off Shen Fu's clothes when she grabbed it indiscriminately, but she said: "Cousin Zangzhu, the one at the door is the Nine Emperor Princes, right?" Dianjiang is so envious that your cousin can be so close to the prince, can you take me to meet him? In the future, Dianjiang will remember your goodness. ”

She said this as if Lin Yu would definitely take a fancy to her, Shen Fu was helpless in her heart, but she couldn't say it directly, so she spoke unhurriedly and slowly, and used Lu Xianniang as a shield: "The Nine Emperor Princes are the pearl of the king of Northern Xinjiang, and the sweetheart of Lu Xianniang, the lord of Ronghua County, is not that his cousin is unwilling to recommend, but it is really that the lord of Ronghua County has a bad temperament, and Zhanbei and I have suffered at her hands, especially Zhanbei, who is still recuperating from her injuries." ”

Shen Fu said unhurriedly, as if he was kind enough to explain to Zhou Yun why Shen Yu couldn't come out to greet him, Old Madam Shen heard this, her brows were almost visibly furrowed, and she asked, "Zangzhu, you are a good boy, come and tell your grandmother, how did Zhanbei get hurt?" ”

She cares most about the future of the Shen family, Shen Chen's personality can be said to be completely similar to her, although she is in the south of the Yangtze River, but the name of the king of northern Xinjiang is known to the world, at this moment, the old lady Shen has a lot of thoughts in her heart, if the granddaughter of this prostitute really offends the lord of Ronghua and is abandoned as an abandoned son, it is not impossible, it is a stain on the Shen family.

"Actually, it's not that Sister Zhanbei offended the county lord, it's just that I was in poor health that day, and my sister went to the banquet for me, and something went wrong, which made the county lord Ronghua angry, but my father has already punished my sister, grandmother doesn't have to worry, Brother Quan'er still has something to do, I don't know if my grandmother is willing to let her granddaughter go over."

Shen Fu knew that Xian Ning was not a good person, and Old Lady Shen was even more ruthless in the truth, so she not only received Lu Xianniang's threat to herself, but also did not forget to say good things for Zhou Yun, not because she expected Zhou Yun to overwhelm Xi Ning, but she didn't want either of these two women of equal strength to fall, and break the current balance first.

"Go, bring Brother Quan to see me after dinner, and you must not lose your courtesy to the Nine Emperor Princes."

Old Mrs. Shen loves the house and Wu likes to be dotted, so she naturally refuses to let anything happen to her, Zhou Yun saw Shen Fu leaving so easily, she couldn't help but hate the root of her teeth, and it was not easy to open her mouth to keep it, so Shen Fu didn't mention it.

"It's snowing so hard outside, and I just discussed with Jiulang, saying that the snow is so big, I'm afraid that I want to stay at the Shen family, and you are afraid of the cold, so you may not come, but I didn't expect you to come over in the wind and snow, drink a cup of tea to warm up."

Outside the window, it was the first snow in the capital, Shen Fu hurried to arrive in a big coat, her clothes were adorned with snow beads, the tip of her nose was also cold, Song Jin opened his mouth, and handed a cup of celadon West Lake Longjing, hot tea started, nephrite and quickly closed the door, Shen Fu was relieved in the warmth of the dragon, she bowed her head to sip tea, her eyes did not give Lin Yu half a moment, warm tea soup entrance, she stretched her eyebrows and said: "No matter how big the wind and snow outside, you can't breach the contract, if Brother Candlelight stays, I naturally welcome it, but the Nine Emperors stay overnight, it is inconvenient, and now there are guests at home, After dinner, I had to take Brother Quan to meet them, and I would inevitably be inconsiderate. ”

It was not yet noon, but Shen Fu had already refused to stay overnight, Lin Yu was a little sad, but he tasted tea by himself, and after a while, he lazily said casually: "Naturally, the prince stayed overnight without authorization, and there was a suspicion of collusion with the party, and Shen Niangzi thought thoughtfully." ”

His detached tone was messing with Shen Fu only they knew each other's temper, but Shen Fu didn't respond, only raised his hand slightly, and motioned for Nephrite to listen: "A few days ago, I vaguely remember that someone from Zhuangzi came up to send a message, bringing a few roe deer and deer, you go to the kitchen, ask for barbecue things, and pick up some good roe deer meat, venison, and vegetables and fruits, if they ask, you say that it is for guests, remember?" ”

If it is cold today, Shen Fu is most worried about Shen Quan, the two sisters and brothers are not enough in the womb, the cold hands and feet are cold, those venison are the most nourishing, and it is absolutely impossible to eat it on weekdays, so they are all used by Shen Chen, but now that Song Jinlin is amnesty, she gets some meat to subsidize it, and it is not a problem.

Nephrite answered, hurriedly went outside, Shen Fu didn't pay much attention, tightened his clothes and hugged Tang Pozi, curtsied, and said goodbye: "Brother Candlelight, Nine Emperor Princes, I'll go see Brother Quan first, let's talk in the evening, I'll let Nephrite go get venison, I'll make something myself in the evening, let's eat together." ”

She left simply, leaving the two big men looking at each other, looking at each other and smiling bitterly, it was the two so-called teachers who were supposed to go to see Shen Quan's homework, but now they were left here to look at each other.

It wasn't until dinner that Song Jin and Lin pardoned the two of them to see Shen Fu again, she had already changed her clothes, Yuan Qingshu brocade white lotus narrow sleeve undergarment, lotus green horse face blue grass skirt, round bun, white jade step shaking, lip color is extremely bright, hibiscus face, willow eyebrows, the whole person reveals a calm and dignified meaning, although she has not yet married, but the two Langjun from today, a glimpse of the future one or two.

The two of them didn't speak, Shen Fu only subconsciously raised his hand to cover his makeup, and his face was full of doubts: "But where am I out of shape?" Why are you silent like this? ”

At this time, the ladies in the painting were contaminated with the red dust of the world, Song Jinlin looked at each other and smiled, and did not say anything, nephrite also brought a group of small servants at this moment, the snow stopped outside, only the pine branches rolled down the residual snow, she commanded everyone to set up the stove support, and only after the arrangements were made did she raise her voice and called: "Girl, you can bake things to eat, but the plum wine has to wait." ”

Shen Fu led Shen Quan out of the door, it was still cold outside, although nephrite had swept out a place to make a fire, but Shen Fu still subconsciously shrank, Song Jin knew and was interested, first brought a big coat to wrap Shen Fu tightly, he took care of Shen Fu into a habit, Lin Yu's hand stopped in mid-air, and it took a long time to curl up, his eyes were lowered, he came too late after all, always one step late.

"How is the eldest princess doing these days? I haven't seen her for a long time, and I can't go to the banquet last time, and the kindness of the carved bamboo banquet, I always want to tell her in public, Nine Emperors, this piece of venison is for you. ”

The fire was shining, reflected on Shen Fu's face, she skillfully divided the venison, the wire was sharp, as if she was going to cut her several times, Song Jin nephrite and others who watched it were cautious, the venison was rich in fat, and it was extremely rich, and when Lin Yu took it, it was steaming, he heard this, bowed his head and ate the meat, and tasted the wonderful prescription before he spoke: "I will tell Aunt Huang, venison is very good, but Brother Quan should eat less, and children should not drink." ”

Shen Quan was grinding nephrite jade to cut meat for him, and he wanted to get the white glazed wine glass, but he was caught off guard by Lin Yu, shrunk his hand, and flattened his mouth to look at Shen Fu, coquettish, and had to worry about the green plum wine: "Sister, I'll just taste a small cup, okay?" If I don't have homework tomorrow, I'll taste a small cup, and it's not in the way, and besides, my aunt is here these days, and my father won't test my homework......"

He has always been well-behaved, and he is so naughty in front of Shen Fu, Shen Fu values him again, at this moment Shen Quan's eyes that are very similar to her look pitiful, Shen Fu's heart can't help but soften, and he wants to pour wine and divide the meat, who would have thought that Song Jin would cut off his beard halfway, and opened his throat with a smile, so that Shen Quan was like a frosted eggplant: "Uncle doesn't take the test for you, I want to take the test, you will go to the school palace after the year, how can you indulge yourself, this wine, I will drink it for you." ”

Shen Quan was aggrieved and pitiful, and he was not unclear in his heart, but he was just worried about being coquettish to Shen Fu, so he was obsessed, Shen Fu couldn't bear it, and when he was about to speak, Song Jin looked at her with a smile, and blocked it with a sentence: "If you want to come, my cousin will also focus on Brother Quan's future." ”

Shen Fu was speechless and choked, but he didn't dare to refute, so he had to bow his head to eat, and after three rounds of drinking, he was in high spirits, but suddenly there was a coquettish voice outside.
