Chapter 127: The Wedding (1)
"If they are allowed to kneel, it will not be good to spread the reputation......"
The second master's family was sent out by the branch to pass away, but they were not expelled from the Shen family, Shen Chong immediately stood up when he heard this: "Mother, let's let them in, what about the third brother is also outside?" ”
Since he spoke, Mrs. Shen didn't insist, but she still didn't have a good impression of the second master's family.
When Shen Nianzhen changed his clothes and went out, he happened to have a face-to-face with the second and third masters of Shen's family.
Shen Nianci, who had already been married, actually came back, her sideburns were coiled high, she was dressed in silk and satin, plus her head full of emerald flowers, carefully dressed like a nouveau riche, holding the arm of the second lady and standing in the carved hanging doorway, seeing Shen Nianzhen wearing a lake-green silk gauze placket, with a plain white skirt underneath, with only a string of pink pearls on her neck, the corners of her mouth immediately revealed a hint of mockery.
What about the concubines of the Grand Commander's Mansion? What about the fiancée of the second prince? It's not even like she, a concubine who married the fallen Hou Mansion!
The second lady was even more unkind, and said sarcastically directly: "Yo, the eldest lady is finally willing to come back?" Why aren't there those guards on the outskirts of Beijing who fool around with you? Where did they go? ”
Shen Nianzhen ignored her, only glanced at Second Uncle Shen indifferently, Second Uncle Shen remembered the experience of being beaten by several forbidden soldiers who were five big and three coarse, and then thrown into the dungeon of the Yamen of the Criminal Department, he suddenly felt terrified, coughed lightly, and angrily scolded his daughter-in-law: "What do you owe? Do you want your mother to kick you out? Shut up! ”
The second lady closed her mouth and glared at Shen Nianzhen with hatred.
Second Uncle Shen said to Shen Nianzhen at this time: "Eldest niece, where are you going?" Why don't you bring a few more people? ”
"The Second Highness came down to pick me up and went to the wedding of His Royal Highness the Third Prince."
Shen Nianzhen hurriedly explained, and walked out with the picturesque, and when she passed by Shen San and Shen Nianzhu behind her, she bowed her head lightly.
"Miss, hurry up and get busy! Don't keep Your Highness waiting. The third lady hurriedly said.
Shen Nianzhu stepped forward without saying a word, glaring at Shen Nianzhen with two eyes: "I'll go with you." ”
Shen Nianzhen was a little hesitant when she heard this, she went to the wedding of the third prince this time, maybe something would happen, if something happened to Shen Nianzhu, how would she explain to the third uncle and three aunts?
"It's okay, you take her with you." The third lady Ding said with a smile: "She can also be a companion for you." ”
Shen Nianzhen went to search for Shen Yunlan in the mountains and forests on the outskirts of Beijing this time, and went for more than half a month in total, the rumors in Beijing were spreading, coupled with the provocation of people with hearts, I didn't know what kind of slut Shen Nianzhen was described, in this case, the third lady was still willing to let Shen Nianzhu follow Shen Nianzhen, which was really incomparable love and trust for her.
When Shen Nianzhen heard this, his eyes couldn't help but reddened slightly.
But at this moment, a sneering laugh sounded behind her: "Third daughter-in-law, you are really a good mallet!" Do you want your daughter to follow such a lascivious woman, do you want her to never marry for the rest of her life? How can there be a mother like you in the world......"
Before the second lady finished speaking, Shen Nianzhen turned around suddenly, and in the shocked eyes of everyone, he raised his arm and slapped the second lady neatly.
The crisp sound of popping stunned everyone in the patio.
The people under the maid didn't dare to come out one by one, and when the picture saw that it was not good, she wanted to secretly run back to move the old lady as a rescuer, but she was afraid that she would leave, no one would protect Shen Nianzhen, and she would suffer the loss of the second lady, so she gave the little maid magpie on the side a look, and then opened her arms and protected Shen Nianzhen in front of her.
"Good! You, how dare you hit me! ”
The second lady has been arrogant and domineering all her life, and she has never suffered such a loss, especially since it was just a child who beat her!
"What's wrong with hitting you?" Shen Nianzhen withdrew his hand, wiped the inferior rouge rubbed by his palm from the second lady's face with a handkerchief, and said coldly: "The slander of the future second princess with red mouth and white teeth, do you have the royal family in your eyes?" If this matter is in front of the emperor today, you see whether the emperor will punish you or me! ”
She brought out the emperor and the royal family, and the second lady's face immediately showed a trace of fear.
But soon, she reacted and said angrily: "Even if it is royal, it is impossible for the younger generation to beat the elders!" It's the other way around! Someone! Catch this little slut for me! Today I'm going to see if I can fight ...... or not."
After speaking, he raised his arm high at Shen Nianzhen, and he was about to fight......
At this moment, a cold voice came from not far away: "Who wants to beat the fiancée of the palace?" ”
When the second lady heard this voice, she was stunned, her arms froze in the air, and she slowly turned her head.
The second prince, Rong Chen, was wearing a dark green robe embroidered with a red pattern, and a dragon pattern jade pendant hung on the white jade belt, sitting on a sedan chair and letting the guards carry him in from outside.
That handsome face made all the maids and daughters-in-law in the yard straight-eyed and stood there in a daze.
The second lady looked at him stunned and was speechless for a long time.
Shen Nianci on the side also looked at the handsome and dashing second prince stupidly, and only felt a burst of sourness in his heart, why? Why is Shen Nianzhen inferior to himself everywhere, but just by virtue of his identity as a concubine, he can get such an excellent man as his fiancé, and he, even if he has exhausted all the organs, what he finally gets is just a man that no one wants?
How unfair fate is!
"How did you get in?" Shen Nianzhen was a little surprised when he saw Rong Chen: "Doesn't your leg hurt anymore?" ”
"It hurts, so don't waste your time." Rong Chen looked at her, a smile appeared on his face, beckoned Shen Nianzhen to come over, and stared at her face carefully for a long time, then he breathed a sigh of relief: "Fortunately, I didn't fight just now, otherwise, this palace would have to cut that fat hand and crush it to feed the pig." ”
When the second lady heard this, a trace of horror suddenly appeared on her face.
With a brush, he hid his hands behind his back.
Rong Chen didn't even bother to sweep her from the corner of his eyes, only glanced at Second Master Shen coldly, and said indifferently: "Nian Zhen is the fiancée of this palace, whoever slanders her is slandering this palace!" If anyone dares to slander him next time, this palace will definitely not let him live to see the sun tomorrow......"
This, this is a threat?
The second lady was resentful in her heart, and couldn't help but say: "I dare to do it myself, and I don't want people to say it......"
Rong Chen's sharp eyes immediately swept over.
The second lady was suddenly frightened.
Rong Chen said coldly: "It seems that some people can't control their mouths because of their status as elders, or if they can't control themselves, this palace will take care of it for you." ”
After speaking, he ordered the guards to step forward, open the bow left and right, and shook the second lady's mouth more than 30 times in a row.
The second lady was stunned, her face was covered with blood, and two teeth were knocked off, she couldn't stop wailing and crying, wanting to plead, but she couldn't say anything clearly, and the second master Shen on the side not only didn't come forward to help plead, but also dodged to the side very blessedly, for fear that when the guards beat the second lady, it would affect him.
Shen Nianci couldn't stand it anymore, so he rushed forward and knelt down in front of Rong Chen, and pleaded pitifully: "Your Highness! My mother was unintentional! Please spare her! She's too old to stand it......"
Rong Chen was indifferent when he heard this.
Shen Nianci turned his head and begged Shen Nianzhen again, tears rolled down miserably, and said in a cowardly voice: "Big sister! It's my mother's mistake, she shouldn't have said that about you, please forgive her this time! We are all family, so why bother? ”
"Family? Your father will spread rumors all over the street, and your mother will humiliate me to my face? Shen Nianzhen said coldly when he heard this: "When you are doing these things, do you treat me as a family?" Now blame me for being indifferent and ruthless? I said a long time ago, you can slander me, but the fiancée of the second prince is not allowed to be slandered! ”
Isn't the second prince's fiancée you? Is there a difference?
Shen Nianci felt aggrieved for a while, and she didn't feel the slightest feeling when her nails cut her palm, but she pretended to look pitiful on her face, expecting Rong Chen to look at her more, even if it was one more look.
As long as Rong Chen can be attracted to her, at least he will let the second lady go.
It's a pity that from beginning to end, Rong Chen's eyes never stayed on her, and he only felt that this woman who kept crying and crying was annoyed.
It wasn't until more than thirty mouths were beaten that the guards let go of the second lady.
The second lady suddenly fell to the ground like a puddle of mud, and she couldn't even cry, and her cheeks were swollen and high, like pig's heads.
"Mother!"
"Madame!"
Shen Nianci and the second master rushed over at the same time, shouting and helping the second lady up from the ground, Shen Nianci looked at her mother's tears and never stopped: "Mother? How are you? Daughter, I'm going to get you a doctor! ”
Rong Chen looked at Shen Nianzhen impatiently: "Can I go?" ”
The wedding of the three princes is almost in the chapel!
"Okay, let's go." Shen Nianzhen nodded, let Rong Chen take her hand, and the two of them went out of the house together.
The third couple stood aside and watched this scene, surprised and didn't know what to say, His Royal Highness the Second Prince also doted on Shen Nianzhen too much, he simply spoiled her without asking for a reason, protected her, and was angry for her! It would be nice if in the future, her family Zhu'er could meet such a considerate and good husband......
"Where's Pearl?"
At this time, the third lady Ding suddenly asked in surprise.
Shen Nianzhu's maid Fluttershy replied, "Madam, Miss went to accompany Miss." ”
"Isn't this kid messing around?" Ding's couldn't help laughing, people's fiancés are sweet and sweet, and it is really redundant to add her little slippery head.
Over there, the second old man and his wife scolded and didn't go into the house, and helped each other to leave.
Before leaving, the second master also ran over to find the third master: "Third brother, you have also seen how domineering and murderous His Royal Highness the second prince is!" Look at the beating of your second sister-in-law! You also know that your second brother and I are short of money, and I don't have the money to treat her injuries, or you can lend me a few hundred taels of silver? ”
The face of the philistine was full of greed.
"Second brother! How much does it cost to treat an injury? When the third master heard this, his brows immediately wrinkled: "My year's bundle is only a hundred taels of silver, so let's do it, I'll give you three taels of silver, and take it back to the second sister-in-law to see the disease, there are many more." ”
After speaking, he took the purse from the second lady's hand, opened it and counted the copper plates one by one.
When the second master saw this, he held his breath in his throat, but he couldn't be angry, and he pretended to be poor in front of him one by one! Doesn't he know that the third child has no money? I just don't want to give it to him!
Pulling the purse over, he said hatefully: "Don't count! Give it all to me! ”
After saying that, he walked away.
The third and the second couple seemed to have expected him to be like this, and they were not the slightest surprised, the second master looked at the back of him leaving, and sighed slightly: "Good second brother, how did you become like this......"
"Maybe that's what he was meant to be?" Ding Shi slowly spoke: "Now it's just revealing his true face. ”
"Don't say that." The third master didn't want people to talk about his eldest brother like this in his heart, so he immediately refuted it when he heard it.
At this point, Fluttershy suddenly said, "Sir, madam, that purse was changed by Miss this morning, and there was only a penny in it, not three taels." ”
"Only one hanging? When I went out, I was obviously ......," the third master said in surprise.
Ding looked at him knowingly and smiled slightly.
The third master suddenly became a little embarrassed, and stammered and explained: "Husband, madam, the second brother is indeed miserable, and I just want to relieve ......"
"But no matter how much relief there is, there must be a degree, do you know why the eldest brother doesn't care about him now?"
Ding said lightly.
The third old man touched his head and said helplessly: "The second brother has indeed been lustful for profit recently, and since he lost his official position, he has been stunned all over his ......."
"Forget it, don't think about it so much, hurry up and go in and see my mother and eldest brother." Ding said: "The eldest brother's marriage is just around the corner, there are many things to manage, my mother is old, let's try to help if we can!" ”
"It should." The third master nodded, and the couple went to the inner courtyard hand in hand.
Old Lady Shen and Shen Chong just heard the report from the next person, only to know that such a thing had happened outside, Shen Chong heard Shen Nianzhen slap the second lady, and he was stunned there for a quarter of an hour, and he didn't know what to say with his mouth open.
The daughter he raised has always been docile and polite, when did even the elders dare to beat him?
But at this moment, he heard the old lady Shen on the side praise: "Good fight!" That unabashed rotten thing, it's long overdue! Nian Zhen did what I didn't do! ”
"Mother." Shen Chongyan was a little crying and laughing: "The second brother and sister are elders after all, even if the elders are wrong, the younger generations can't do it?" This matter has spread out, and it is really not good for Nian Nian's reputation! ”
"Then you mean, someone slandered your daughter, and you called her a ninja?" Old Lady Shen glanced at him.
Shen Chongyan was speechless when he heard this.
At the end of the day, it's still his incompetence.
If Shen Yunlan was missing, he was not busy with official business and couldn't get away, Shen Nianzhen would definitely not need a young lady who had not left the cabinet to go out of the city to find it in person, these things were originally his responsibility.
"You, don't be presumptuous." Old Mrs. Shen saw the self-blame on his face, and immediately sighed slightly: "In the future, support Nianzhen well, you remember, she is your daughter, and the people next to her have nothing to do with you!" ”
Listening to this solemnly, I only felt that it was meaningful, this is about to get married, my mother won't be the eldest girl of the Liao family, right?
He looked at the old lady and didn't dare to say anything.
In this compartment, Shen Nianzhen and Rong Chen took a carriage all the way, and soon arrived at the Three Princes' Mansion.
When they arrived, just in time for the good time, the three princes rode a high-headed horse, wore a bright red wedding dress, and led the mighty welcoming team around Beijing three times with great energy, and stopped at the gate of the mansion, ready to shoot a sedan chair, and take the bride into the mansion to worship the church.
Rong Chen's carriage stopped in the most central place in front of the mansion, where the sedan chair was originally parked, but it was forcibly occupied by him.
The red silk ribbon fluttering, and the big sedan chair carried by eight people could only stop aggrievedly outside.
The third prince was so angry that he grabbed a guy angrily and asked, "Who is the person sitting in the carriage in front of you?" You immediately bring people up and destroy the palace with people and carriages! ”
"Your Highness! No, you can't! The person sitting in the carriage was His Royal Highness the Second Prince. The little guy replied tremblingly.
"Second brother?" When the third prince Rong Bing heard this, he was taken aback.
As he spoke, the carriage in front of him moved, the gauze curtain was lifted, and a guard immediately stepped forward with a wheelchair, carefully picking up His Royal Highness the Second Prince in the carriage, and then, Shen Nianzhen also got out of the carriage.
"Third brother, what a coincidence, eldest brother thought it was too late." Rong Chen turned his head and raised his eyes slightly to look at Rong Bing, who was sitting on horseback.
Rong Bing had a crazy idea in his heart, he wanted to rush forward and trample Rong Chen, a bastard!
However, the idea only popped into his mind for a split second and was abandoned.
Rong Bingpi pretended to be polite with a smile: "Third brother, can I trouble you to make a place?" That's where the sedan chair stops, don't you want your brother to marry Miss Su? ”
"How?"
Rong Chen smiled indifferently, glanced at the sedan chair with a faint gaze, and then turned the wheelchair and stepped aside with Shen Nianzhen.
"Why is the second prince injured? What happened to his leg? ”
"I heard that the second prince was injured when he was ambushed in the suburbs of Beijing! I don't know who is so ruthless that he dares to do something to the prince of the current dynasty......"
"Who's to say it isn't!"
"Hey, isn't that the eldest lady of the Shen family? She is still by the side of His Royal Highness the Second Prince? Oh, my God! ”
Although they got out of the way, the onlookers, guests, people, and everyone's eyes fell on Shen Nianzhen and Rong Chen, but today's protagonists, the third prince of the groom, and the bride Su Muwan, did not pay much attention.
When the third prince saw it, his face turned blue with anger.
"Third brother, are you going to shoot the sedan door? Have you not eaten, have you not had the strength to hold a bow and arrow? Do you want the second brother to help? Rong Chen turned his head and glanced at the third prince with a smile.
