Chapter 349: Isn't It Cold?
This year's winter came later than usual, and at the end of October, the cold was not heavy, and there were no snowflakes falling.
After the big battle of those embroidery girls a few days ago, the enthusiasm of the Shen Mansion seemed to be torn apart, and the servants began to talk about the big wedding of the little master in the mansion.
Even Shen Yangming, who had just recovered from a serious illness, seemed to have been hit by this happy event, and became more and more energetic.
In such a mighty battle, Sheng Changning didn't have time to think about whether to move out and live before getting married.
After returning to Beijing, she got the dividends of Linglong Pavilion for so many years, originally Jian Nianzhi heard that she was short of silver, and wanted to sell Linglong Pavilion into silver taels to her, after Sheng Changning repeatedly and firmly refused, he had to give Sheng Changning all the profits over the years into portable silver tickets, which was nearly 10,000 taels.
With a lot of money in her hand, Sheng Changning thought about it a lot, and after thinking about it for a few days, she finally knocked on the board.
She asked Yuan Xing to buy a house and a small shop outside, the house is not big, only two streets away from the Shen Mansion.
When she decided to buy a house, Sheng Changning was also selfish, when Mama Qing inadvertently taught her, she still remembers it vividly: In fact, women should also have money around them, otherwise they will marry into their husband's family, and when her husband sees that you are weak and have no money, isn't it just hard to hold you?
Until now, Sheng Changning still thinks so.
Of course, she didn't question that Shen Yue was a person who would bully her, she just felt that the days when she had no money in the Shen family's old mansion in the past were too sad, although the silver in hand seemed to be quite a lot, but it couldn't make ends meet, and there would always be a day when it ran out.
Panjia storefront, at least you can earn some money for daily rouge gouache, and you won't have to worry about sitting back and eating empty.
As for that house, Sheng Changning thinks long-term, it is impossible for husband and wife to be like glue all the time, if one day she and Shen Yue have a quarrel......
Now that she is alone, without the support of her mother's family, Jian Nianzhi, who can help her, is far away in the capital, and she is already married and has children, how can she be embarrassed to call others again?
With this house, she will have confidence in the future, at least she can not worry about having nowhere to settle when she comes out in anger.
Of course, Sheng Changning asked Yuan Xing to do these things, Shen Yue naturally knew, he didn't think about so many detours, he just felt that his own girl liked to fiddle with these, what he had on hand was money, if she was willing, it would be okay to buy a yard in eight places out of ten.
Today's Shen Yue doesn't know Sheng Changning's thoughts, but he doesn't know that one day in the future, when he suddenly heard that he had become his wife's little woman, and honestly confided in his mouth the truth about buying a house, he regretted not being at the beginning. Of course, that's all for later.
Sheng Changning secretly thought about it for two days, and when the servants in the mansion began to hang bright red lanterns and the red silk that lifted the eaves corridor, she gritted her teeth, and decided in her heart to talk to Lixia, and the two of them moved quickly to leave the mansion.
Sheng Changning knew as clearly as a mirror in her heart that if Shen Yue's wife knew her thoughts, she would definitely not be able to leave.
However, how can there be a custom that the girl's family still relies on the husband's house before she gets married?
Although her situation is a bit special, it is not that she cannot go to a nearby place for a temporary stay for two days......
Sheng Changning thought secretly, and was about to walk back with his eyes down, but unexpectedly, he almost bumped into someone head-on, and Sheng Changning immediately reacted quickly and took two steps back.
She looked up a little embarrassed, and saw a woman standing in front of her with her hair in a bun, her face was beautiful, but the shallow lines on the tails of her eyes could also be seen, indicating that the woman was not a young woman.
It's just that...... Sheng Changning frowned slightly, the woman was dressed in a thin plain white dress, her slender waist was full of hands, and there was no hairpin with jade on the black bun, only a delicate white velvet flower, which made her face white and weak.
It's very different from the crimson red of the surrounding area.
Before Sheng Changning could say anything, the maid behind the woman glared at her angrily, and said unhappily: "I don't know how to salute when I see Madame, which courtyard are you?" β
A maid dared to cross the master to speak...... Sheng Changning looked at the woman's face, she was still in that soft posture, and she didn't stop the servant.
Sheng Changning's frowning eyebrows deepened, she vaguely guessed the identity of the woman in front of her, no wonder her face was a little familiar.
But it was true that she was distracted, and she almost bumped into someone, Sheng Changning didn't fight anymore, and saluted the woman in a proper manner, saying, "I've seen Madame." β
Speaking of which, this is Lord Shen's Continuation Lady, Sheng Changning has seen her for the first time since she lived in the Shen Mansion, and it is no wonder that the maids around her don't know her.
Mrs. An bowed slightly, as if she didn't recognize who Sheng Changning was, and didn't say anything, leading the three or two maids behind her to leave by mistake.
It's just that when he passed by, he opened his mouth to talk about Sheng Changning's servant, and glanced at Sheng Changning with some dissatisfaction.
Receiving such an unkind gaze, Sheng Changning's expression was a little trance, it should have been a long time since she left the palace? Otherwise, in the face of these deceitful and yin and yang weirdness, why did she only feel strange?
Sheng Changning curled the corners of his lips, a little amused by his sudden thought.
Not far away, Lixia came with hurried steps, holding a cloak and a hand stove in her hand, and stuffed the warm hand stove into Sheng Changning's hand, and she was busy tying the cloaks for her own girl.
The little girl didn't forget to mutter: "Girl, the slave said that you should come out to wear thicker, why did the slave and maid turn their heads, and you ran out regardless of it......"
As if coaxing a child's tone, Sheng Changning's heart was warm, and the cloak on his body was covered by the hand stove, and he was not contaminated with the wind and cold outside at all.
"Okay, if you keep nagging, you're going to become an old woman." Seeing that Lixia still had the momentum to continue chattering, Sheng Changning hurriedly stopped the little girl's words, and handed over the hand stove again, "Look, my fingertips are frozen red, and I even said that I don't wear clothes well......"
Sheng Changning has always been the master of individual compassion, and Lixia is the person who has been with her for a long time, at this time she is not outside, she took the hand stove, and bowed strangely, and her voice was crisp: "Thank you for the master's rewardββ"
Hearing this, Sheng Changning straightened his frowning eyebrows, and laughed happily.
At the same time, her heart became more and more puzzled.
Fang An's clothes are so thin, isn't she cold?
