Chapter 47: Confusion
This sharp movement pierced the night sky, bringing out the persistence that many people don't understand, it was the night, the whereabouts of the maid called Chongming, only a few creatures saw it, such as the creatures hiding in the grass, and the many secret guards who came from nowhere, but the humans who saw this thing were in the minority after all, so the disappearance of Dianjiang was also hidden.
"What's going on? In a few days, Dianjiang will enter the palace draft, the list has been reported, and now it is impossible to cancel it again, how should this be good, when did Dianjiang disappear? Do you have a number in mind? ”
The main courtyard was brightly lit, Old Madam Shen, Shen Chen, and even Zhou Yun were all in the house, but this incident did not let Shen Fu know, naturally there was no figure of her, the charcoal fire in the brazier crackled, which made Shen Chen's mood more and more depressed, Xianning hid his face and cried, looking very sad, several intermittently, almost crying in the past, Old Mrs. Shen felt sorry for her, and took the initiative to arrange Chongluan to screw a hot handkerchief to wipe her face for Xianning, she was plain and faceless, very simple and elegant, and the charm was natural, and there was still a little bit of the charm of her youth, Shen Chen's heart moved slightly, And Xianning didn't cry too much, only wiped away her tears, choked up: "She came back early today, and she went to sleep alone before dinner, but at that time, Madame had already returned from the palace, and I wanted to take Na Nizi to greet her, but I didn't think that she would disappear when I entered the door, and I was quite worried." ”
Shen Chen doesn't care much about where Dianjiang goes, because in the final analysis, the only people who are close to Dianjiang are his mother and cousin, and the relationship between Nizi and the Shen family is only in the palace draft, and the top is in the name of the Shen family, that's all, it's a bit ridiculous, even if Dianjiang was raised by his mother and cousin in Jiangnan for more than ten years, and now he even uses the name of the daughter of the Shen family to participate in the draft, but people die like lights out, and the relationship is like a silk thread burned by the lamp, and it is broken with a snap.
"The top priority is not to find that Nizi, but the draft deadline is coming soon, and how to deal with the dignitaries in the palace is the right thing."
Zhou Yun is well versed in Shen Chen's psychology, and naturally knows that what annoys Shen Chen the most now is not the disappearance of Dianjiang, but that if the number of show girls is not available, it will usher in the blame in the palace, so he took the initiative to speak for Shen Chen, but when he said this, he provoked Mrs. Shen and Xianning to look sideways, Zhou Yun was not good, and before Xianning opened her mouth to ask, Old Madam Shen was already full of anger: "What, Dianjiang doesn't know whether she is alive or dead now, so you are thinking about sending someone to her position?" ”
Xianning cried more and more pitifully, her whole face was buried in the arms of Old Madam Shen, her whole body couldn't help trembling slightly, it looked quite pitiful, Old Madam Shen's heart that was used to seeing people, she couldn't help but soften, and sighed softly, but she also knew that now she couldn't see it, if she couldn't come up with a charter, the entire Shen family would have an accident, and what Zhou said was naturally the best thing to do, but it was too unfair to Xianning.
Thinking of this, Old Madam Shen's brows furrowed tightly, the wrinkles between her eyebrows became more and more obvious, thinking of the dispute with Shen Chen at the dinner table, the pair of cloudy old eyes looked at him: "It is also your poor management of the main room, and the back house has been on fire one after another, thinking that it is beyond its strength, and now that Dianjiang is missing, I have to give Xianning some compensation, not to seek the position of a flat wife, to give the position of a concubine, always want." ”
Her words have regressed as much as possible, in her opinion, her niece, don't say that she is a flat wife, even if she is a husband for her son, it is okay, but in Zhou Yun's opinion, Mrs. Shen's proposal is undoubtedly to divide power from her, thinking that she Zhou Yun, since Song Xingyun's death, she has taken the Shen family's back house into her pocket, how can she tolerate other women to divide it.
What's more, now there is a Qi family in the courtyard, if this Xian Ning enters the mansion again, if these two hook up and secretly play some means, she is really a little difficult to deal with, thinking of this, Zhou Yun couldn't help but open her mouth to stop: "It's not clear whether Miss Dianjiang is alive or dead now, if she decides so quickly, it will inevitably have some meaning of exchanging her status, and if Miss Dianjiang knows, she will be sad." ”
"Something will happen to Dianjiang, there is something going on in the back house, if Dianjiang really doesn't survive, do you think a concubine can make up for it? Zhou, I think it's these days, there are too many rewards in the palace, so you are dizzy, and you feel that you don't need to be punished for doing something wrong? I want to see if the minister's family affairs can interfere with the heavenly family...! ”
Old Madam Shen listened to Zhou Yun's persuasion, and her heart became more and more angry, she always felt that she couldn't let Xianning be wronged, how could she see Zhou Yun's behavior like this?
And Shen Chen saw this, and also felt that the house was quite restless these days, first Aunt Qi was in the womb, and now it is really Zhou's doing, but at this time, Dianjiang disappeared again, and the two things are inseparable from his wife, and he thought of Xianning that night to let him rest and preside over the chores of the main courtyard alone, and his heart was a little looser, and his tone was a lot looser: "This matter will be discussed in the future, and now the only one who can be sent to the palace for the draft is Zangzhu, but she has just broken the marriage contract with the Song family, and the Song family is bound to be unwilling, if Zangzhu enters the palace draft." , the Song family went to the imperial study again, and the marriage contract had to be reconnected. ”
Everyone present knew that the dissolution of the marriage contract with the Song family was the meaning of the palace in the final analysis, and the Shen family was not the Song family, so naturally they had no ability to confront the palace, so they could only comply, but now that Dianjiang was not there, Shen Fu, who was the only qualified to replace him, could never enter the palace, which became a dead end and a dark cloud haunting everyone's hearts.
But among everyone, Zhou Yun has a different opinion on this matter, she lowered her head, as if she was thinking hard about how to share Shen Chen's worries, but in fact she was quite excited, her feet under the lark pattern couldn't help but tap the ground, happy and happy, Shen Fu couldn't enter the palace, Dianjiang disappeared, now the queen values her mother and daughter, and has the idea of pointing Zhanbei to the four princes, if you can persuade Ah Lang to let Zhanbei enter the palace, it is not an exaggeration to say that it is a step to the sky.
Thinking of this, Zhou Yun raised her head, her eyes were full of joy, but her face was deliberately sad, fortunately, before going out today, she had discovered that Dianjiang's behavior was unknown, and she deliberately described Daiyu's eyebrows to pretend to be sad, and now she lowered her eyebrows, sad like light smoke, but there was a bit of sincerity: "Ah Lang, the daughter of the Shen family still has Zhanbei left, and the concubine is not from a good background, so naturally she doesn't dare to send her to the palace, but she is in a hurry, and the concubine is willing to enter the palace to beg Niangniang, to find a way out for Zhanbei and the Shen family, and ask Ah Lang to agree." ”
People say that the words are poignant and affectionate, and now Zhou Yun also has some of them, this gesture really bluffed Shen Chen's mother and son were shaken, after all, now the Shen family woman, picking up horizontally and vertically, there is really only one Shen Yu Shen Zhanbei left, but Zhou's background is not a good family, Shen Yu is naturally not a good family, so total, the two of them are afraid of it, but Zhou Yun first said that he was willing to enter the palace to beg Jiang Hou, Jiang Hou sent someone to pick up Zhou Yun before, it is a true thing that the whole house has seen, when he thinks of Jiang Hou's attitude, Shen Chen can't help but shake his mouth.
He was about to speak, but Xian Ning had already cut off his beard, and directly blocked Zhou Yun's words, only to see that Xi Ning's eyes were red, and he complained to Zhou Yun like blood, and his words were angry: "Why do you want to give your daughter to Dianjiang's future, now that Dianjiang is missing, you have no loss, and let Zhanbei, who couldn't enter the palace, replace you, and want to come to Dianjiang, it is also related to you!" ”
These words are extremely heartbreaking, and Shen Chen doesn't feel what it is, but Old Madam Shen feels sorry for Xianning, listening to it like this, where can she bear it, Zhou Yun's face couldn't help but change greatly, although Dianjiang's disappearance does not have anything to do with her, but now the form is in her favor, this woman is biting like this, it does have an effect.
For a while, the house fell into a strange silence, and he didn't return, naturally there was nothing to say, Zhou Yun was bitten with Ning Pan just now, and it was not easy to speak easily, Old Madam Shen was determined to seek benefits for Ning, so she refused to let go, and several people were deadlocked, but Shen Chen really couldn't tolerate this, and said in annoyance: "In this case, go and invite Zangzhu tomorrow to ask her if she is still worried about the marriage of the Song family, if she has no intention, she will set up a document to testify and send her to the palace, naturally there is nothing to do." ”
When these words came out, Zhou Yun's face became embarrassed, she wanted to let her daughter enter the palace to seek glory and wealth, but she was cut off by Xianning, and now it has evolved like this, no matter how much she cares, it is difficult to succeed, thinking of this, Zhou Yun's eyes are as angry as a sword, almost about to pierce Xianning, but Xianning has no feeling, only cries in the arms of Mrs. Shen.
Tonight, these people have not slept all night.
"What, Dianjiang is missing, Ah Lang wants me to go to the main courtyard for questioning?"
In the early morning of the second day, as soon as Shen Fu got up, she was guarded outside, and the little girl sent by the main courtyard was really startled, she never expected that Dianjiang was missing, and what made her even more unpredictable was that Dianjiang was missing, no matter what she said, it was impossible to have anything to do with her, but those people in the main courtyard now want her to go over, could it be that Zhou Yun is blowing some pillow wind?
She was shocked, and the little girl who came to deliver the letter saw that there was no one around, and secretly stuffed a ball of paper to Shen Fu, and whispered: "It's not a big deal, my aunt reassures the girl, and when the matter is over, if the girl is free, come to the room to talk." ”
It turned out that this Nizi was actually Aunt Qi's person, and when she learned about this, Shen Fu thought a lot of highly of Aunt Qi, Aunt Qi had only come to the Shen family not long ago, and everything was complicated during this time, so she had her own people available under Zhou Yun's nose so quickly, and she was really a usable talent, which was worth her bothering to support.
Thinking of this, Shen Fu inevitably moved some thoughts of repaying the favor, but he didn't say it directly, he only sent the girl back to restore her life, and called Fang Zhu Songting to serve and freshen up, subconsciously, she wanted to call Nephrite to take the clothes, but remembered that now that the Si people have passed away, no matter how she is, she can't save it, and her heart treats Zhou Yun's mother and daughter, and her resentment is even heavier.
"Father, mother, grandmother."
In the main courtyard, Shen Chen didn't sleep all night, and now the dark blue was serious, and he looked quite haggard, Zhou Yun was even more so, even if she used heavy lead powder, she couldn't hide the gloom on her face, as for Shen Yu, she was in good spirits, and even looked a little radiant, and some people were in good spirits on happy occasions, Shen Fu knew that Dianjiang was not pleasing in the house, don't say that it was her, it was Shen Yu, and she was not less teased by Dianjiang, but she was still the heart and liver of her grandmother, with Aunt Ning's palm pearl, Shen Yu naturally had no way to take a little Jiang, Now that Dianjiang is missing, it can be regarded as sulking for her.
