Chapter 29: For Concubines
It's changing so fast! It's unexpected.
In Zhenbei Hou's mansion, Lu Yiming was lying on the bamboo bed in the room, with a hot pain in his back, he had just been whipped by his father, Zhenbei Hou, with a family method, and he endured it without fainting, and kept asking the little guy to inquire about the news outside.
"Lord Shizi! Oh no! The palace decreed that Miss Shen would be married to His Royal Highness the Second Prince! ”
When Lu Yiming heard the news, a carp sat up from the bed.
He opened his mouth to speak, his lips opening and closing.
"Lord Shizi! What are you talking about? The little guy looked confused.
Lu Yiming looked at him straight, and after half a sound, he leaned back and fell down with a bang.
"Someone! Go get a doctor! The little guy screamed and rushed out.
The Hou Mansion in Zhenbei was immediately chaotic.
……
After the New Year, the weather gradually warmed up.
The windowsill of the east wing room was replaced with a new bouquet of pear blossoms early in the morning, and the beaded curtains were hung up, and the warm sunlight shone in from outside.
Shen Nianzhen sat at the table, slowly drawing new patterns with the brush in his hand, looking very focused.
Ruhua walked in from outside the screen with a plate of crystal steamed cakes that had just come out of the pot, and reported in a low voice: "Miss, the second miss was crying outside to see you again, but was stopped by Mama Zhou." ”
"What did she see me do."
Shen Nianzhen didn't raise his head, and continued to trace the goldfish in his pen: "Isn't it already as she wishes, and she has made a marriage with the Hou Mansion in Zhenbei?" ”
Based on the rumors in Shangjing, as soon as the year passed, the Zhenbei Hou Mansion couldn't withstand the pressure, and personally entered the mansion, bringing gifts and asking to marry Shen Nianci.
Of course, it's a concubine.
Shen Nianci's identity is not worthy of the identity of the prince of Zhenbei, and he can't be the wife of the prince.
"What else? She's not reconciled! Of course, I came to ask Miss to help persuade the old lady and put pressure on the Hou Mansion in Zhenbei to let her carry the sedan chair through the door. Picturesque pouted.
"The beauty of thought." Shen Nianzhen sneered and finally put down the pen.
Ruhua put the pastry on the table and echoed: "No, the old lady has been annoying the second lady to death recently, she doesn't see them at all, and she doesn't look at her identity, she still wants to be Mrs. Shizi!" ”
Shen Nianzhen smiled, didn't say anything, estimated that the old lady got up from a nap, and then took the painted pattern and went to the room.
As soon as I entered the door, I heard bursts of laughter from inside.
Bypassing the screen, Shen Nianzhen saw the third lady Ding, this time for the New Year, the Shen family stayed in Beijing in the third room, and the appointment of the third master Shen Yu also came down, and he entered the Dali Temple to be a small young secretary, although the official position is not big, but it is also a happy event.
In comparison, the second room is much more miserable.
First of all, Shen Yunqi, the eldest son of the second room, was jealous and killed in the brothel, and was impeached by the imperial history.
Then there is Shen Nianci.
Zhenbei Hou Mansion fell into the water in public, hugged and hugged his future brother-in-law, unclear, and became the laughing stock of Quan Shangjing, although in the end Zhenbei Hou Mansion promised her to marry, but it was only a concubine.
Under such circumstances, Mrs. Shen urged the second room to leave Beijing more than once, but the people in the second room were like drowning people grabbing duckweed, and refused to let go.
If they don't leave, the old lady will turn a blind eye to the sake of her own son after all.
"Is it really here? Why are you stunned? Come on in? ”
Ding was standing behind Mrs. Shen, gently massaging her shoulders, hearing the sound of footsteps, he raised his head and saw Shen Nianzhen, and a smile suddenly appeared on her beautiful and fair face.
"Hello third sister-in-law."
Shen Nianzhen stepped forward with a smile and saluted the third lady.
Shen Nianzhu also stood up from the table and saluted her expressionlessly: "I've seen the eldest sister." ”
"I've seen the third sister." Shen Nianzhen returned the salute with a smile.
Old Lady Shen raised her head with a smile, glanced at her, her eyes fell on her sideburns, and she was suddenly stunned: "What about the hairpin that His Royal Highness the Second Prince gave you?" Why aren't you wearing it? ”
