Chapter 42: Second Prince Su

"Hungry? I just don't know where the prince is going to take me! ”

Shen Nianzhen sniffed, smelling the fragrance of various foods in the air, she seemed to smell the aroma of almond tea and hawthorn cake......

Rong Chen smiled slightly and ordered the carriage to be parked in an alley on the side of the road.

Shen Nianzhen couldn't wait to get out of the carriage and rushed to the front of the shop, but unfortunately there were too many people on the road, and by the time she squeezed through easily, Commander Shen and the girl were already gone.

"This kind of thing, even if you go, you can't talk about anything."

Rong Chen's tone was cold, and he couldn't help but pull Shen Nianzhen into a restaurant, and took her straight to the box on the second floor.

There are a lot of people on the street, but this restaurant is deserted, and there is no one.

Shen Nianzhen thought about it for a while and understood that it must have been Rong Chen who had asked someone to clear the scene.

Eating a meal is also like this, worthy of being the second prince.

"His Royal Highness's words are not right, I went to see this Miss Liao, not to talk to her, but to see her character, whether she is a gentle and kind person, after all, there are many people who want to be my stepmother, not everyone can do it."

Shen Nianzhen looked at Rong Chen and smiled ill-willedly: "Of course, if you want to be the mother-in-law of His Royal Highness the Second Prince, it is even more difficult to go to the sky. ”

Rong Chen ignored her, called the shopkeeper to come in, and ordered a few dishes.

Shen Nianzhen heard that he ordered grilled fish, and immediately said: "The fish should be fresh, and the ingredients should be enough when grilling, and it should be grilled for a while to have a burnt taste......

"This young lady knows how to grill fish!" Xiao Er was a little surprised.

"Isn't that common sense that most people know?" Shen Nian was really a little puzzled.

Rong Chen sneered: "You are so particular about eating fish." ”

Shen Nianzhen rolled his eyes: "I am a vulgar person, but I can't compare to Your Highness, you royal people, when you eat, you pay attention to table manners, what food is silent, a big set of sleepless, tired of eating a meal, I just ask for a little, just delicious." ”

While talking, Xiao Er brought a few plates of cold dishes and snacks, Shen Nian was really hungry, so he stopped talking to Rong Chen at the moment, and took the chopsticks and started eating.

Rong Chen sat opposite, looked at her with disgust, and moved back quietly.

"Your father is a great leader, looking at you like this, it's no different from a village woman." The tone was full of mockery.

"Of course, my father has only been the commander for a few years, but His Royal Highness has been a prince for more than 20 years." Shen Nianzhen swallowed a mouthful of food, raised his eyes and glanced at him, and said, "I'm sorry, I forgot, Your Highness was born a prince, and you don't have to work hard for anything at all." ”

"In your eyes, being a prince is to hug each other every day, spend a lot of money, and don't have to do anything?" Rong Chen sneered when he heard this.

"Other princes are like this, but Your Highness may not be so."

Shen Nianzhen continued to bow his head and eat vegetables.

"Oh? How is this king not? Hearing her say this, Rong Chen couldn't help but be a little curious.

"Because," Shen Nianzhen raised his head and glanced at him, and said with a smile: "Your Highness's ambition is the sum of the other princes. ”

After speaking, she lowered her head to eat vegetables again, and it happened that the store served a bowl of noodles, and she was very happy to eat.

Rong Chen looked at Shen Nianzhen with shining eyes, very surprised.

His ambition has always been hidden in his heart, and he has not told anyone, including his mother.

didn't expect it, but was seen through by Shen Nianzhen.

After dinner, Rong Chen asked his subordinates to settle the bill, and then took Shen Nianzhen downstairs, intending to send her home.

Shen Nian was really full and had strength, and asked with great interest: "I have helped His Highness so much today, how much silver does Your Highness plan to give as a reward?" You and the third prince are brothers, you can't be too shabby. ”

Rong Chen saw that her eyes were shining and she was provocative, so he said, "Isn't the meal I just invited you to a reward?" After all, you are the one who ate twenty-seven taels of silver raw. ”

"Huh? Your Highness is too stingy, isn't he? Shen Nianzhen immediately glared.

"If the third child doesn't send the silver to the Shen family tomorrow, are you embarrassed to go to the door in person?" Rong Chen asked with a smile.

"I'm sorry." Shen Nianzhen immediately wilted.

"Don't worry, he won't send it, I'll ask for it for you." Rong Chen smiled and said, "One thousand taels of gold, half of each of us." ”

"Why?" Shen Nianzhen immediately shouted: "That's all I won back!" ”

"Without this king, you won't get a penny."

Shen Nianzhen immediately shut up: "Okay, half is half." ”

It's better than nothing, right?

Rong Chen looked at Shen Nianzhen, who looked like a frosted eggplant, smiled slightly, and said, "Aren't you in a hurry to go home?" Why don't you go quickly? Wait a minute, your big brother should be looking for it. ”

"Okay." Shen Nianzhen nodded.

When the two of them walked out of the teahouse, they almost collided with a person.

The man immediately scolded: "Who is it? Why don't you have long eyes! Do you know who I am? I'm the second young master of the Su family! Hurry up and kneel and kowtow and beg for mercy, maybe I can spare your life, master! ”

Shen Nianzhen was startled and hurriedly hid behind Rong Chen.

"Su Yunmu! What are you doing here? Rong Chen rebuked with a cold face.

When the man heard this voice, he was immediately startled, and when he saw that it was Rong Chen, he was immediately frightened like a little sheep, trembling: "Second, second cousin!" You, how are you here! ”

"Hongu went out for dinner with friends." Rong Chen said with a cold face: "What are you doing here?" ”

"Let's eat, too."

Su Yunmu muttered.

Shen Nianzhen poked his head out from behind Rong Chen and took a look, good guy, this Second Young Master Su is really handsome! With a fair little face, sword eyebrows and starry eyes, and a small red silk brocade robe, a white jade belt, and black and gold boots, it is really the dress of a rich person.

is worthy of being Su Muwan's sibling, and he looks like a good one.

"This is ......" When Shen Nianzhen looked at Su Yunmu, Su Yunmu was also looking at her, and when he was at the door just now, he saw a beautiful little girl standing next to Rong Chen, so he deliberately bumped into her.

For the sake of this moment.

"Second cousin, what kind of friend are you? Don't introduce it? Su Yunmu asked with a smile, looking Shen Nianzhen up and down.

"She is the king's fiancΓ©e."

Rong Chen was very disgusted with his gaze, and said coldly when he heard this.

"That's your fault!" Su Yunmu immediately stepped forward, took Rong Chen's arm, took him aside, and said in a low voice: "Second cousin, I have always been on your side in the matter of you and my sister!" Although she and her third cousin are about to get engaged, aren't they engaged yet? You gave up first, how can I help you? You've hurt me! ”

"Did you help me with this?" Rong Chen glanced at him and said coolly: "It's a disgrace to help." ”

"It's busy, it's busy!"

Su Yunmu said: "If it weren't for me, my sister and the third prince would have children now!" ”

Rong Chen: "......"

He gritted his teeth secretly: "So, this king still has to thank you, doesn't he?" ”

"That's it!" Su Yunmu smiled and said: "Second cousin, I want to open some, thank you, you don't need to be too rich, I fell in love with an inkstone in the Linglong Pavilion yesterday, and my hand is a little tight, do you want to sponsor some ......?"

"Get out!"

Before he finished speaking, Rong Chen's face turned cold.

Su Yunmu shrugged his shoulders and stretched out his hand with a pitiful face: "Second cousin, I don't want much, you just give me 10,000 taels of silver and it will be ......."

Ten thousand taels! More ruthless than yourself! The lion opens his mouth!

Shen Nianzhen smacked his tongue secretly.

"Get out, don't you want to get another tael of silver from this palace in the future!" Rong Chen's face was as black as ink, and his eyes were as cold as a broken jade of ice buried in the ground for thousands of years, with the momentum of the autumn wind sweeping away the fallen leaves.

Su Yunmu was so frightened that he couldn't speak anymore.

Rong Chen took Shen Nianzhen and left.

In the carriage, Shen Nianzhen looked cautiously, and saw that this master was still cold-faced and seemed to be angry, so he sat aside with interest and didn't disturb him.

Unexpectedly, Rong Chen opened his mouth to explain: "Yun Shepherd is not bad, but he has been arrogant and bad over the years. There was a hint of loss and deep regret in his tone.

Well?

What does this have to do with her?

Shen Nianzhen cautiously raised his eyes to look at Rong Chen, nodded along with his words, and said, "Yes, Second Prince Su is handsome and romantic, and he is not an ordinary person at first glance." ”

Unexpectedly, Rong Chen suddenly turned his head, stared at her viciously, and said, "You remember it for this king, stay away from Su Yunmu in the future!" If you let the king know that you are meeting him, he will break your legs! ”

Shen Nianzhen: "......"

She rolled her eyes speechlessly and turned away from him.

Rong Chen stretched out his hand to pull her face, under the dim butter lamp, his breath sprayed on her face, and there was a trace of madness burning everything in his bright eyes: "Shen Nianzhen, you'd better remember the words of this king!" ”

"Got it!"

Shen Nianzhen said helplessly: "If it weren't for Your Highness, I would never have known this Second Prince Su in my life, and I wouldn't have been able to see him, are you relieved?" ”

Rong Chen still stared at her.

Shen Nianzhen was defeated under such coercion.

This man is so capricious! One moment gentle, the other irritable, this is really not someone who can approach casually! She seemed to understand a little bit why Miss Su gave up Rong Chen and chose the third prince.

"It's good to know."

Rong Chen finally let go of his hand, and took out a handkerchief to wipe his hands, and sat much farther away from Shen Nianzhen.

Shen Nian really wished that this was the case, and it was best that the two of them never meet again.

There was a moment of silence.

The carriage shook suddenly, then stopped, and the voice of the guards outside sounded: "Your Highness, the Shen Great Commander's Mansion has arrived." ”

Rong Chen sat there and didn't move.

Shen Nianzhen bypassed him and got out of the carriage, stood on the bluestone road, and saluted Rongchen: "Thank you, Your Highness, for sending me home." After speaking, he entered the gate of the Shen family without looking back.

Rong Chen sat in the carriage, looking at the back of the girl leaving quickly, and his thoughts suddenly returned to the day when Su Muwan left him, which was also such a resolute ......

A flash of anger burned in his pupils.

Want to leave?

If you can't catch Su Muwan by yourself, can it be that you can't catch a Shen Nianzhen?

……

Shen Nianzhen took the picturesque to Chunhui Courtyard.

As soon as I arrived outside the courtyard, I heard bursts of crying from inside, which sounded so miserable.

During this period, there was also a little angry and suppressed crying of the second lady: "Old lady! This matter can't just be left at that! You have to make decisions for Ci'er! ”

Shen Nianzhen stopped suddenly.

"The eldest lady is back! Come on in! Mama Zhou came out of the yard anxiously, saw Shen Nianzhen at a glance, her eyes lit up, and she walked over.

"What's going on?" Shen Nianzhen asked as he walked.

"Why else, when the second miss was out playing today, she accidentally fell and injured her leg, saying that the third miss deliberately framed her." Mama Zhou sighed and said, "Nothing happened to the eldest lady today, right?" The old lady is worried about you. ”

"I'm fine, His Royal Highness the Second Prince took me to the painting boat tonight, accompanied by the Third Prince, the second lady of the Su family." Shen Nianzhen briefly told about today's events, and entered the flower hall with Mama Zhou.

Old Mrs. Shen sat on top full of exhaustion, staring at Shen Nianci and Shen Nianzhu who were kneeling down with resentment, and said angrily: "Other people's young ladies are going out for fun, you two, what are you doing out?" Infighting! Nest in the cross! It's really a shame on my Shen family! ”

The second lady Shen covered her mouth with a handkerchief and sat on the side sobbing, although the third lady Ding was anxious, she was holding her temperament, hanging her head and standing aside, never saying a word for her daughter.

After Shen Nianzhen came in, everyone's eyes fell on her.

Second Lady Shen's eyes were full of deep jealousy, and she said sourly: "Yo, the second princess of our family is back!" I had a good time today, why don't you take care of my two sisters? Leaving them by the lake is too unkind, isn't it? ”

"What nonsense are you talking about!"

Old Lady Shen said angrily: "What the second prince wants to see is Zhen'er, not Ci'er!" You have ruined the marriage of the Hou Mansion in Zhenbei, do you still want to meddle in this royal marriage? What a daredevil! ”

"Mother, that's not what my daughter-in-law meant."

The second lady smiled and said, "It's just that Nianzhen also told Ci'er and them?" I followed the second prince away, but I made them wait by the lake for so long! If it weren't for that, how could Ci'er's leg be injured? ”

"So, it's all Zhen'er's fault?" Old Lady Shen didn't smile at her.

β€œβ€¦β€¦ That's not either. ”

The second lady then laughed.

"I'm tired, I don't want to care about these things of you, let's step down!" Old Mrs. Shen said coldly: "Second daughter-in-law, don't let me see you sharpen your head and trick yourself, otherwise you should go back to Xuzhou!" ”

"Yes, old lady."

The second lady could barely maintain the calm look on her face, but in the face of the old lady's majesty, she could only knock out her teeth and swallow it in her stomach.

Before leaving, she glared at Ding fiercely and said in a low voice: "This matter is not over!" ”

Shen Nianci limped because of her leg injury, she came to Shen Nianzhen, bit her lip and said, "Big sister, are you really so ruthless?" Lu Lang, he has always been thinking of you in his heart......"

"It's all starting to be called Lu Lang?"

Shen Nianzhen immediately smiled when he heard this: "It seems that your relationship is going very well, if I really turn back, your Lu Lang will not be yours alone, are you willing?" ”

How could Shen Nianci be willing!

She wished it was like this!

said this, just to test Shen Nianzhen.

Now hearing such an answer, she was completely relieved, but on the surface, she still pretended to be aggrieved: "Sister, you gave up the Zhenbei Hou Mansion by yourself, and my sister is just ...... It's just a matter of making up for your mistakes. ”

"Really? Then I have to thank you. ”

Shen Nianzhen didn't laugh angrily.

"That's it." Shen Nianci said softly: "There is an old saying, a woman should start from the beginning, my sister and Lu Shizi have been married for so many years, and they have long been his person, but now they don't hug the pipa, and throw themselves into the arms of others, so incorruptible and shameless, not abiding by women's morals, Lu Shizi said, I hope sister, you will wake up as soon as possible, don't go wrong again, otherwise you will be abandoned by the second prince, but there will be times when you cry......"

These words, she lowered her voice and leaned into Shen Nianzhen's ear to say them.

Shen Nian was really angry and didn't know what to say.

There is a type of person in this world who likes to say that the black is white and the white is black, anyway, she is always the one who is reasonable.

"Thank you Lu Shizi for me." Shen Nianzhen sneered back.

Shen Nianci was a little surprised: "Sister, you really don't care about him?" ”

"Are you tempting me?" Shen Nianzhen frowned.

"How?" Shen Nianci smiled slightly: "You and I are sisters, but we are the closest." ”

To outsiders, the two of them seemed to be whispering.

Shen Nianzhu stood behind Ding, glanced at the two of them indifferently, and snorted coldly.

"By the way, I'll investigate your leg injury." Shen Nianzhen suddenly said: "Although the third sister is not good at words, she will never do anything to deliberately hurt others, whoever wants to slander her, pass me first!" ”

"You ......"

Shen Nianci was slightly stunned, and then started with a little weakness: "This matter is decided by my grandmother, and it is not your turn to come to my sister......"

Before the words fell, Mrs. Shen said: "Zhen'er, you should also learn to deal with the affairs of the back house, and this matter will be left to you!" ”

Shen Nianzhen replied with a smile: "Yes, grandmother." ”

Shen Nianci's face was colorful on the side, and he was very good-looking.

Shen Nianzhu hooked the corners of her mouth.

When the people dispersed, Mrs. Shen took Shen Nianzhen's hand, looked her up and down, and asked with a smile: "How do you feel about traveling with the second prince today?" ”

"That's it."

Shen Nianzhen said perfunctorily.

Regarding Rong Chen's matter, she didn't want to say a word.

"Zhen'er, you won't be ...... Still miss Lu Shizi, right? Old Lady Shen was puzzled.

"How is that possible?"

Shen Nianzhen suddenly laughed when he heard this: "Grandmother, do you think your granddaughter is the one who eats back grass?" Besides, Lu Yiming's back-to-back grass is dry and unpalatable, and his granddaughter is not a masochist. ”

"You are the daughter of the Shen family, everyone is beautiful, you can't speak so rudely." Old Lady Shen frowned.

"Okay, I got it." Shen Nianzhen took her hand, blinked her eyes, and said with a smile: "Grandmother, I saw my father and that Liao girl on the street today." ”

"Really?"

Old Madam Shen suddenly sat up, looked at her with some apprehension and asked, "What do you think of that Miss Liao's appearance and character?" Can you match your father? ”
