Chapter 224: Full Moon Banquet Turmoil (I)

After returning from the third room, Shen Nianzhen did not hesitate to hand over this matter to Dongchen to do.

Such a small thing is not a trivial matter at all for the four guards under Rong Chen's seat, and Dongchen readily agreed.

Shen Nianzhen watched him leave, and he was slightly relieved in his heart.

She didn't take this matter to heart, as she said, Shen Nianci had already faded out of her life, and she had no time or energy to waste on this kind of person.

Soon, three days passed in a flash, and Miss Shen Wu's full moon banquet arrived.

Early in the morning, the Shen family was very lively, Shen Nianzhen got up early, and took her fourth sister Shen Nianzhu to help Liao Fangru prepare the banquet and help entertain the guests.

This time the full moon banquet is extraordinary, the Shen family is no longer the Shen family of the past, Shen Chong recently did a big thing in the court, and he was rewarded by the emperor, his promotion is inevitable, and the Shen family is about to come out of a second princess, therefore, there are a lot of guests who come today, originally Liao Fangru asked the kitchen to prepare forty tables of dishes according to the post sent out, but I didn't expect that the number of people who came was doubled! The kitchen had to step up its purchases, prepare more dishes, and even went to a nearby restaurant to buy some ready-made ingredients.

In the courtyard in front of him, Shen Nianzhen accompanied Liao Fangru to greet the guests, and the muscles on his smiling face were about to stiffen, but he couldn't put on a smiling face to face everyone.

It was good for her to do so, at least every guest who came was full of praise for her, and the praise of the eldest lady of the Shen family was peerless, humble and polite, and her amiable smile soon spread in Shangjing.

I don't know why, recently someone compared Shen Nianzhen with Su Muwan, saying that although Su Muwan was the first beauty in Beijing in the past, she is no longer as good as Shen Nianzhen, not only in appearance, but also in terms of identity and status, after all, it is impossible to compare a third prince and a concubine with the second princess, right?

When Su Muwan heard these gossips, she simply gritted her silver teeth angrily.

Shen Nianzhen smiled slightly, not caring about these false names.

When it was almost noon, most of the guests had already come, and Mama Zhou came to persuade her in person, and Shen Nianzhen returned to the inner courtyard banquet with Liao Fangru.

Unexpectedly, not long after they sat down, Mama Zhou came outside again, lowered her voice and whispered a few words next to Liao Fangru's ear.

Liao Fangru's face immediately changed.

"What's wrong? What's going on? Shen Nianzhen also leaned over and asked in a low voice.

"It's Miss Two." Liao Fangru's voice trembled a little and said: "She made trouble at the gate, saying that she is also the young lady of the Shen family, and the Shen family has a big happy event, why don't you let her enter the ......"

Shen Nianci? Didn't Dongchen already send her out of Beijing? Why did the people come back?

The smile on Shen Nianzhen's face couldn't be maintained any longer, and she whispered to Liao Fangru: "Auntie, you stay here and entertain guests with the third aunt and grandmother, and I will go to the gate to meet her!" ”

"Nian Zhen, her eight achievements are here for you!" Liao Fangru said anxiously: "You are going to marry into the Second Prince's Mansion, and you will be the princess in the future, and what is Shen Nianci?" It's just a lowly woman! She's barefoot and not afraid to wear shoes, what if she cheats you?

"Auntie, don't worry, I have a way to deal with such a person."

When Shen Nianzhen heard this, a sneer immediately appeared on his lips.

Originally, she didn't want to pay attention to Shen Nianci, but she desperately tried her best to get to herself! In this case, then the new and old accounts are settled together!

"Auntie, entertain the guests, I'll go."

Shen Nianzhen said, patted Liao Fangru's shoulder gently, and when she was about to leave, she suddenly remembered something, and immediately said: "Don't tell your grandmother about this matter first, so as not to worry about her old man on this happy day." ”

"Okay, I know." Liao Fangru nodded again and again.

Shen Nianzhen took the picturesque at this time, and took advantage of the fact that not many people paid attention, secretly left the banquet and went to the front hall.

As soon as she walked to the second gate, she met Dongchen, who was anxious and kept walking around.

"Miss! You're out! Dongchen heard the footsteps, raised his eyes and saw that it was Shen Nianzhen, and immediately breathed a sigh of relief.

"You messed up, and you still have the face to come to me?" Shen Nian was really angry.

"No, Miss!"

Dongchen felt remorse and blame himself when he heard this: "Originally, my subordinates did what you ordered!" sent someone to ransom Shen Nianci out and send her out of Beijing overnight, but unexpectedly, when she was about to leave the city, she said that her stomach hurt badly, and her face was very pale, and her subordinates were afraid that something would happen to her, so they sent her to a nearby medical center, and then she took the opportunity to escape......"

"You've been fooled."

After listening to this, Shen Nianzhen said calmly: "My second sister, what she is best at is pretending to be weak and pitiful, and the trick of pretending to be sick is her forte. ”

Dongchen listened honestly, and then assured: "The subordinates know their mistakes!" Thank you for the mention! Never be deceived again! ”

"Is she still making a fuss at the gate?" Shen Nianzhen asked in a deep voice.

"Yes."

Hearing this, Dongchen nodded hurriedly.

"Then why don't you get her away?" Shen Nianzhen looked at him strangely when he heard this, and said, "The task I gave you is to send her away, and if the task fails, you can't remedy it?" ”

"My subordinates want to do it too!" Dongchen said helplessly when he heard this: "But she made a lot of noise at the door!" keeps saying that she is the eldest lady of the Shen family, and there are so many people watching the excitement, if your subordinates directly knock her out and get her away, I am afraid that it will have a bad impact on your family's reputation......"

It was because of this that he did not take direct action, but came in to ask Shen Nianzhen.

"Don't worry about that." Shen Nianzhen said expressionlessly when he heard this: "A truly knowledgeable person will not change his opinion of the Shen family because of others' words and slanders, you just do as I say, go up and don't say anything, put the person down first, and then tell everyone that the second room of the Shen family has already been divided into another room, and she has nothing to do with our Shen family." ”

"And then? Do you want to be sent out of town? Dongchen asked.

"No, you can put her in the dungeon of your palace for two days, and after that, I will go and see her." Shen Nianzhen said expressionlessly.

She disdains to kill people, and Shen Nianzhen doesn't want her hands to be stained with the blood of her relatives.

Although Shen Nianci and her are actually not relatives, they are just enemies.

"Yes, Miss." Dongchen agreed in one bite, and then turned around and retreated.

Shen Nianzhen looked at his back, and did not rush back to the banquet, but unhurriedly raised his heels behind Dongchen and walked outside.

She wants to see, what is Shen Nianci going to do today, what is her purpose in making such a fuss?

As a result, when Shen Nianzhen arrived at the gate, he heard Shen Nianci's crying voice: "The uncle's family is really vicious!" Even if he planned to get our second room out of the house, he actually secretly colluded with the people in the Qinglou to sell me in......"

Shen Nianzhen was immediately happy.

The person who sold her into the Qinglou was clearly Lu Yiming, and Shen Nianci actually said that the Shen family sold her! Obviously, it was the Shen family who redeemed her!

At this time, I heard someone outside the courtyard shouting, "What you girl said is not right, right?" It was Lu Yiming who sold you! On the day he sold you, many people in Shangjing saw it! saw you crying and kneeling in front of Lu Yiming, begging him to spare your life...... Why are you slandering Commander Shen Dada now when you open your mouth? Did Lu Yiming tell you to do this? ”

"That's right! It is! It is! Someone next to him quickly chimed in: "I also saw ...... that day."

Everyone nodded.

Shen Nianci never expected that her lie would be exposed on the spot, she swallowed a little, and continued to cry weakly and helplessly: "However, the one who gave Lu Yiming the idea to sell me is my eldest uncle!" ”

"You little girl, you don't make drafts when you lie!" Someone next to him really couldn't stand it: "You have all been divided into separate mansions, what benefits can Commander Shen get by selling you into the Qinglou?" Another one, if you enter a dirty place like the Qinglou, if you don't talk about it, it will also affect the reputation of several other little girls in the Shen family, there is no benefit, it is all bad things, who will do it! "Ju Library

"That's it! It is! Everyone nodded.

Shen Nianci was a little flustered, she never thought that after a long time, no one believed what she said, could it be that the phoenix that fell into the grass was really inferior to a chicken? Thinking of the wealth and glory of the Shen family, and the happy picture of Shen Nianzhen about to marry the second prince, Shen Nianci's heart was like 10,000 ants gnawing at it, and he was in great pain.

She was carried away by jealousy, so she came here to make trouble, in order to fight for her flesh and blood, even if she died, it would not be easy for Shen Nian!

It's just that she didn't expect that she couldn't even enter this mansion, and she couldn't even see Shen Nianzhen's face, so she was demolished......

"I, I really didn't mean to ......" Shen Nianci's crying paused, and continued to say in a louder voice: "Although the second room has been divided, my surname has been Shen from beginning to end!" My grandmother is still in the house, and for such a big happy event today, she won't let me enter the door, does it make sense? ”

Not letting Shen Nianci enter the mansion is indeed a bit unkind.

Butβ€”

"It's normal not to let you in! People like you who come out of the brothel in Qinglou are dirty! What qualifications do you have to step into the door of Shen Dada's leadership! Don't dirty people's land! Someone in the crowd snorted.

"You...... You ......" Shen Nianci would never have imagined that once she fell into a place like Qinglou, no matter how much she complained to win sympathy, everyone would not buy it.

Shen Nianzhen stood quietly inside the door, and could almost imagine what the color of Shen Nianci's aggrieved and disappointed face was.

She smiled slightly, and gave Dongchen a look who was standing by the door.

Dongchen immediately raised his feet and walked out, just as he wanted to take Shen Nianci away directly, but at this time, something happened to him.

Suddenly, a few thugs walked over from the crowd, and a man who looked like a turtle man stepped forward and said, "Everyone, everyone! This is the girl who escaped from our Spring Breeze Building! What she said is all a lie, don't believe it! We're going to take her away! ”

As he spoke, he ran to Shen Nianci and wanted to drag her away.

Shen Nianci's frightened face turned pale, and when she heard this, she immediately screamed: "You let go of me!" Let me go! I don't go to that kind of placeβ€”"

It's thrilling enough to go just once, she was beaten by the old bustard for three days and three nights in order not to pick up guests, and now it's easy to escape from that sea of suffering, and now she has to go back, she might as well die!

"Let go of meβ€”"

In order to escape all this, Shen Nianci was heartbroken, gritted her teeth, and suddenly shook off the two men who clamped her down, and quickly crashed towards the wall on the side!

Dongchen hurriedly went over to stop it.

But in the end, it was still a step too late, Shen Nianci still bumped into a person, who happened to be standing in front of the wall, and was very unlucky to be Shen Nianci's back, and was hit on the spot and rolled his eyes, almost fainting.

And Shen Nianci herself, she didn't get any better, she hadn't eaten for a day, and she tried her best to hit this collision, although she didn't hit the wall directly, but she also fainted.

This scene stunned everyone, and everyone looked at Shen Nianci who fell to the ground in a daze, and remained silent.

Only the man who was hit screamed and screamed, and his face showed pain.

Shen Nianzhen saw that something was really wrong, and he couldn't stay out of it anymore, so he raised his feet and walked out, first ordered someone to carry the person who was hit to the infirmary for treatment, and personally took out a silver ticket from his waist and handed it to the little servant to say that the Shen family would bear all the costs of treatment.

"Oh, that's a hundred taels of silver tickets! Miss Shen is really generous! When the onlookers saw this scene, they couldn't help but talk about it.

When the turtle man saw Shen Nianci fainting, he was very panicked, and he originally wanted to sneak away, but when he saw Shen Nian's action of taking the silver quickly, he immediately thought about it, and he didn't leave, just lying there, shouting and shouting to his entourage to lift Shen Nianci up and get him back to the brothel.

He made up his mind to extort money.

Because of a large family like the Shen family, the children of the clan are never allowed to live in the Qinglou, even if Shen Nianci has already gone out of the house to live another life.

At the beginning, he was too simple and kind, so he gave Shen Nianci's deed of sale to that person at the price of two hundred taels of silver, and now, hehe, without a thousand taels of silver, don't want to take people away!

But Shen Nianzhen didn't even look at her, and only instructed Dongchen: "No matter what, she is also surnamed Shen, and it is not appropriate to lose the wilderness after all, you can send her back to the courtyard of the second uncle." ”

"Yes, miss." When Dongchen heard this, he immediately stepped forward and wanted to drag Shen Nianci away.

"Wait!" The turtle prince was immediately anxious, and immediately stopped in front of him and said, "Miss Shen, right?" If you want to take her away, then trouble getting the ransom money! A total of one thousand taels! :

The moment the words came out, there was a burst of regret in his heart, and he said less!

With Shen Nianci's worth, 10,000 taels is too little! Today I lost money again!

"I won't give you a tael of silver." Shen Nianzhen said, slowly took out a deed of sale from his sleeve, held it in front of the turtle and shook it a few times, and then said in a cool tone: "The night she was sold into the Qinglou by Lu Yiming, our Shen family had already paid to redeem her, this is her deed of sale, you can see it clearly!" ”

"The deed of sale is already in my possession, is it possible for me to pay a second sum to redeem her? Amusing! ”

"It turns out that this turtle man took advantage of the chaos to rob! They are here to pit silver! The people around immediately talked about it.

The evidence was conclusive, coupled with everyone's righteous indignation, the turtle father's face couldn't be hung on the spot, he blushed and didn't argue with Shen Nianzhen anymore, and led his people away in a gray manner.

Dongchen also called two grandmothers to help lift Shen Nianci, who had fainted, from the ground, put him in a carriage, and prepared to send him back to the second room of the Shen family.

"Commander Shen, and Miss Shen are really benevolent and righteous, it's really unlucky to have such relatives and brothers on the stall!" There was a lot of talking.

"Everyone." Shen Nianzhen spoke slowly, and said with an apologetic smile on his face: "Today was originally my fifth sister's full moon banquet, but I didn't expect this kind of thing to happen, which made everyone laugh, in order to compensate everyone, our Shen family decided to put a three-day flowing water banquet in this neighborhood, and all of them should be compensated to everyone!" ”

"That's so embarrassing." Everyone laughed when they heard this, and said, "But the blessing of the fifth lady still has to be touched." ”

At that moment, the Shen family came out to build Liang Peng's dining table one after another, and they really wanted to hold a flowing water banquet at the gate. When everyone saw that she was not just talking, but it was really like this, they stayed one after another, and talked about Shen Nianzhen one by one, which was really full of praise.

After the matter here was dealt with, Shen Nianzhen breathed a sigh of relief.

It's a pity that she hasn't taken a sip of hot tea yet, and not far away, Mrs. Su got out of the carriage and came with money.

Shen Nianzhen immediately lifted his spirits, the person who should have come has finally come!

There's still a second half of the battle to be fought!

She took a deep breath and put a perfect smile on her face, ready to step forward.

But at this moment, a hand next to her gently pulled her, and then a gentle voice sounded: "Nianzhen, are you tired?" Go back and rest, I'll deal with her. ”

Shen Nianzhen turned his head and saw that it was Liao Fangru.

She immediately said gratefully: "Then thank you aunt, how did I deal with it just now?" ”

"Excellent." Liao Fangru looked at Shen Nianzhen, her eyes were full of appreciation.

The rewards and punishments are clear, and they should not be wronged, and they can guide everyone in a timely manner, just a few tables of flowing water, and the peace of the Shen family in the world and the good reputation that can be exchanged are simply too cost-effective.

And Mrs. Su is a more difficult character than Shen Nianci.

Liao Fangru didn't want to be tired of Shen Nianzhen, so she stepped forward by herself, compared with these ladies and wives, although she was young and immature, she was still very disciplined in dealing with people, and she would definitely not make people feel abrupt.
