"Miss Shen."

Unexpectedly, as soon as Mrs. Su saw Shen Nianzhen, she greeted her enthusiastically and held her hand affectionately: "It is said that Miss Shen, you are beautiful and wise, virtuous and generous, and your appearance is even better!" When I saw it today, I knew that the rumors were true! ”

There were so many people at the banquet, she just held Shen Nianzhen's hand and didn't let go.

Shen Nian was really embarrassed, Mrs. Su's enthusiasm was really a little overwhelmed, she smiled embarrassedly at the moment, and said, "Mrs. Su is too polite, it is an honor for the Shen family to be here today." ”

She thought that after saying a few polite words, Mrs. Su would let her go and go to Liao Fangru or Mrs. Shen on her own, after all, Mrs. Su's purpose in coming to the Shen family today was not to participate in the full moon banquet, she was here to ask for his son Su Yunmu to marry Shen Nianzhu.

However, Shen Nian was really wrong.

Mrs. Su took her hand and praised her and said a lot of praise, and the ladies and ladies present all nodded with great interest, and occasionally interjected a few words, which made people laugh.

"I see, only a woman like Miss Shen, who has excellent virtue and appearance, can be the second princess! You say, don't you? ”

"Yes! Oh, yes! The crowd agreed.

Shen Nianzhen could only show a polite and polite smile.

Finally, Mrs. Su let go of her hand and went to the main table to greet Mrs. Shen.

Shen Nianzhen suddenly breathed a sigh of relief.

However, at this time, an exclamation came from the main table: "Mrs. Su has made an extraordinary move!" This jade Buddha is a priceless thing at first glance! Do you really want to give it to Miss Shen Wu? “

"yes!" Mrs. Su said proudly when she heard this: "The things that are taken out are naturally to be given away, Miss Shen Wu is talented, intelligent, fair-skinned and lovely, this Jade Buddha is the most compatible with her." “

Among the guests present, many people knew what Mrs. Su's purpose was for coming here today, and they all nodded and smiled tacitly, praising one after another, and the third lady of Shen looked at the jade Buddha, the smile on her face was a little stiff, and she refused to accept it.

Take it, the things are too valuable, they can't afford it at all, and when they see the Su family in the future, they will inevitably lack confidence, so if they don't take it, they slapped Mrs. Su in the face again, which is even worse.

At this time, Shen Nianzhu, who was standing beside Ding, suddenly stretched out his hand, took the jade Buddha off his sister's body, and then politely returned it to Mrs. Su, and said expressionlessly: "Madam, this thing is too valuable, we can't accept it." ”

This Jade Buddha is indeed very valuable.

But Mrs. Su has never dared to slap her face in this Shangjing, she looked at the jade Buddha handed back, and the smile on her face faded in an instant.

The laughter around them gradually stopped.

People watched nervously, and no one spoke.

One is the wife of the Su family, and the other is the fourth lady of the third room of the Shen family, and there is a slight disparity in status, and what is even worse is that Mrs. Su is here today to marry Shen Nianzhu for her son Su Yunmu! In other words, if Mrs. Su succeeds today, then these two people will be mother-in-law and daughter-in-law in the future......

Mother-in-law and daughter-in-law relationship......

Before it started, it was already so tense?

Not sure what's next? Did Mrs. Su open her mouth to scold Shen Nianzhu angrily, or did Shen Nianzhu disobey her duties and scold Mrs. Su angrily? Either way, it's all beautiful!

Many people at the banquet watched this scene with great interest, looking forward to the two of them tearing up, because it was so beautiful!

Mrs. Su looked at Shen Nianzhu quietly.

This girl that her son likes like ghosts, for her, even the beautiful eldest lady of the Qi State Mansion is not in her eyes, how can this Miss Shen Si win her son's love? Mrs. Su couldn't figure it out.

However, when she looked at Shen Nianzhu, who was not shy at all even if she looked at herself, and her unfazed face, she gradually understood.

Indeed, Shen Nianzhu is not the kind of beauty at first sight, and it doesn't give people a very amazing feeling at a glance, but she looks clear and delicate, and her facial features are beautiful, in fact, she is a rare beauty, especially Shen Nianzhu's facial features have not yet grown, and when she gets older in the future, her appearance will go to the next level.

What's more, Shen Nianzhu's cold temperament is indeed very charming. It's very different from those beauties nowadays.

Perhaps, this is the reason why her son likes her?

Mrs. Su was thoughtful.

But at this time, she was no longer allowed to think about it, seeing that everyone around her was watching a good show, Mrs. Su coughed lightly, slowly spoke, and said with a smile: "It seems that Miss Shen Si wants to thank Mrs. Ben in person instead of her sister?" You're welcome, although this thing is valuable, it's still worthy of your sister. ”

As soon as these words came out, if Shen Nianzhu refused again, it would be tantamount to saying that he looked down on things and slapped Mrs. Su in the face directly.

This time, without waiting for Shen Nianzhu to speak, Shen Nianzhen stepped forward, gently held his sister's somewhat cold hand, and said with a smile: "Madam, you scared my sister, your gift is naturally valuable, I thank you on behalf of my sister." ”

Said a gentle blessing body.

Shen Nianzhu bit her lip tightly, and her bitten lower lip was slightly pale.

She was very angry in her heart, angry that Mrs. Su deliberately gave such a valuable gift, so that her mother couldn't get off the stage, and now she is squeezing her with words! If she doesn't thank her, but refuses, then from now on, let alone marrying Su Yunmu, I'm afraid it will be difficult to find a suitable family in this Beijing!

Mrs. Su did it on purpose!

I only blamed myself for being anxious and worried about my mother and jumped out......

Shen Nianzhu took a deep breath, then learned Shen Nianzhen's movements, bent down and saluted Mrs. Su: "Thank you, madam, it was Zhu'er who was rude just now." ”

"No rudeness! No rudeness! Seeing this, Mrs. Su smiled, took the hands of the two girls one by one, looked left and right, couldn't put it down, and sighed again and again: "What two good girls!" It is said that His Royal Highness the Second Prince's eyes are above the top and he is arrogant, but his vision of people is excellent! No one can compare! The marriage with Miss Shen had already been decided so early! It's so enviable! ”

"Who's to say it isn't!" Someone at the banquet immediately responded with a smile: "The second prince's vision is naturally not said, now I don't know how many people in Shangjing are going to regret their intestines, the county lord of Roujia is not only smart and filial, but also has excellent looks and talents, she is really a good girl who is difficult to find with a lantern!" ”

"But Miss Shen Si is not bad!" On the spot, another lady smiled and said, "It doesn't matter if the county lord of Roujia is chosen by the second prince, isn't there still Miss Shen Si?" She is in the same vein as her sister, she has grown up together since she was a child, and she is naturally very good, you can't marry Miss Shen, you can turn to the next best thing and choose Miss Shen Si! “

"Hey, you can't rob me one by one!"

Mrs. Su took over the words at once, turned her head and walked past everyone, until she walked to the seat of Mrs. Su at the upper seat, first bent down and saluted her, and then said with a smile: "Old lady, I don't hide it, I came today for my unfilial second child, to ask you to marry Miss Shen Si!" The Shen family is a big family, but the Su family is also a hairpin family, a scholarly family, even though my Eryun Mu is a little naughty, but the big right and wrong are wrong, and I have never made a mistake! Please also be gracious, and allow this family affair to be the right person! ”

This is a public courtship!

There is also a hint of persecution.

I said so many words praising Shen Nianzhen before, and the shaft of the car wheel said, but it turned out that the drunkard didn't mean to drink, but to pull out Shen Nianzhu smoothly, so that he could ask for a kiss!

Shen Nianzhen suddenly realized.

When Mrs. Shen heard this, she was already stunned, she would never have imagined that someone would come to their Shen family in such a public occasion and in public! When ordinary people talk about marriage, don't they all secretly discuss it in private? It's a good thing that Mrs. Su actually chose this time!

Do you want to create a situation where it is difficult to ride a tiger and force the Shen family to agree?

When Mrs. Shen thought of this, she couldn't help but feel angry in her heart, and immediately said coldly: "Mrs. Su, please get up, this children's marriage is naturally decided by the elders of both sides, I am old, and I have not asked about things for a long time, but I am afraid that I will not be able to be the master." ”

"It's okay, Mrs. Su."

Mrs. Su was still smiling when she heard this, and replied: "I naturally know the number of etiquette that should be there, send a matchmaker to propose marriage, exchange Geng posts, and make a decision, you don't have to worry about these......"

It seemed that she didn't understand what Old Lady Shen said, so she continued to talk to herself.

Old Madam Shen couldn't pretend to be calm now, and said coldly at the moment: "I'm sorry, Mrs. Su, our Shen family will not agree to this family business." ”

"No one can say for sure, right?"

Once again rejected on the spot, Mrs. Su was not discouraged, but said indifferently: "Like I never thought before, in the end, my son Yunmu's marriage will fall on the fourth lady of the Su family, if I know, I will definitely get close to the Shen family in advance and watch my daughter-in-law grow up in person!" It's a pity, it's too late to say anything! ”

As he spoke, he laughed exaggeratedly a few times.

Laughter rang out at the banquet, matching Mrs. Su's words.

Embarrassing, it's so embarrassing.

If it was someone else, who was rejected by Mrs. Shen in person, she would definitely change her face on the spot, even if she didn't change her face, she would not be able to bear to leave in a hurry, but Mrs. Su was biased, she talked as if she was nothing, and even said half-jokingly, half-threateningly: "The rosary is my daughter-in-law, you are not allowed to rob me!" ”

Everyone nodded, and some even jumped out and said: "That's for sure, who can bear to destroy such a god-sent relationship!" “

Shen Nianzhen quickly looked at the person who spoke, and found that this woman was a little familiar, as if she had seen it before......

Where? She thought for a while before she remembered, wasn't this woman the wife of the Qin family who was very close to Master Su's Mansion?

Shen Nianzhen understood it all of a sudden!

Mrs. Su's purpose today is not to ask for marriage! Even if Mrs. Shen refused or not, she didn't take it to heart.

Because, her purpose is to warn these guests who came to visit today, and warn them not to fight Shen Nianzhu's idea! This is simply equivalent to telling everyone: This Shen Nianzhu is the person that our Su family has a fancy to, you are not allowed to rob it, if you want to snatch it, you must first weigh your identity, and whether you can confront Su Taishi's Mansion.

This trick is really ruthless.

Because people with a higher threshold than Su Taishi's Mansion will definitely not take a fancy to Shen Nianzhu, a concubine of the Shen family's three-room family, who has already gone out of the house, and those who have a lower threshold than Su Taishi's Mansion, after listening to Mrs. Su's words today, even if they have the intention of marrying the Shen family, they will cancel it.

This has caused Shen Nianzhu to be in this capital in the future, the only person who can marry is Su Yunmu, and she will never be able to marry anyone else.

Mrs. Su's move is indeed clever!

It's just too insidious!

As a calculated woman's relative, Shen Nian was really unhappy.

And she is faintly worried about her fourth sister in the future, with a mother-in-law like Mrs. Su who likes to calculate and threaten, if she really marries Su Yunmu in the future, it will not be easy to live!

Mrs. Su has lived all her life, how could she not understand this, just thought about it a little, and she understood, and her face was ugly at the moment.

But no matter how ugly her face is, Mrs. Su's purpose today has been achieved, she sat down with a smile, while drinking tea to moisten her dry throat, she smiled and laughed with the people at the table, her expression was happy and tight.

This is the third time that the Shen family has rejected the Su family.

According to Su Yunmu, if the Su family sends someone to the door again, it will be serious.

At that time, both the Shen family and the Su family need to weigh and weigh what to do about this matter.

Shen Nianzhen thought about it left and right, and couldn't figure out a clue.

As for Shen Nianzhu, she was dragged into the inner room by the Ding family, and she couldn't stand the eyes of the visitors outside, someone had already regarded Shen Nianzhu as the daughter-in-law of the Su family, and was ready to make a joke about her!

In this case, temporary avoidance is the best approach.

In the end, the whole feast ended in this strange atmosphere.

Before the feast ended, someone came to the palace.

The big palace maid in Concubine Qi's palace led a group of palace people to walk in from outside, holding a red lacquer tray in her hand, on which were all things that Concubine Qi gave to Shen Nianzhen and the Shen family.

Sure enough, it was Concubine Qi, and she didn't forget to brush her sense of existence on this occasion.

"Thank you for the reward, thank you for your kindness."

Shen Nianzhen knelt down and kowtowed in front of everyone, thanks, the etiquette was not bad at all, but the smile on her face was a little reluctant.

"Miss Shen, if you have time, go into the palace to accompany Niangniang, Niangniang misses you very much." When she was finally leaving, Concubine Qi's palace maid said with a smile in front of everyone.

What can Shen Nianzhen say? Naturally, it can only be said that it is.

The palace maids nodded with satisfaction, and then led the people away.

Everyone didn't see Shen Nian's real embarrassment, they only saw Concubine Qi's attention to her, and they were envious one by one: "Miss Shen is just good!" It's a blessing that I have already been loved by my future mother-in-law before I have passed the door! If you marry in the future, you can only enjoy ......"

When Shen Nianzhen heard this, he only had a bitter smile in his heart.

She obviously took out the greatest sincerity to hold this banquet, in order to make the fifth sister's full moon banquet lively and festive, she paid a lot, but no one expected this result.

……

At the end of the feast, all the guests dispersed.

Shen Nianzhen followed Liao Fangru's side, saw off the last guest, and returned to Mrs. Shen's Chunhui courtyard with tired steps. Old lady, we can't let Zhu'er marry and suffer this grievance...... And that Su Yunmu, I don't know what happened to him. ”

The voice lagged behind for a long time, and only then did Old Lady Shen sigh heavily.

"What if you don't marry him? With such a fuss today, do you think there is a better choice for our family? Old Mrs. Shen said slowly: "You wait, the families who said they were close to our family before may come over tomorrow to withdraw their words, and if they really want to stay in Shangjing, they can only marry into the Su family, otherwise they can only go to a farther place to find their relatives." ”

A large family is in Shangjing, but what is the matter with letting Shen Nianzhu marry in a foreign country?

How can Ding be patient? When she heard this, she burst into tears on the spot.

"Third brother and sister, don't cry." Liao Fangru persuaded in a soft voice on the side: "You have just come out of confinement, and your body is still weak, don't be sad, the old lady will help you decide everything, get up quickly." ”

Soon, the sound of rustling clothes rubbing against each other sounded in the room, and it was thought that Ding had risen from the ground.

Shen Nianzhen walked in with his feet raised, glanced at Mrs. Shen first, and then slowly spoke: "Grandmother, I think that Mrs. Su's behavior today is very meaningful. ”

"How?" When Mrs. Shen heard this, she immediately raised her eyes and glanced at her, her expression softened, and beckoned Shen Nianzhen to come and sit beside her.

Shen Nian really responded, walked over and sat down next to the old lady, and then slowly spoke: "I think that Mrs. Su's marriage with the Shen family in such a hurry may have something to do with the fact that the third princess was demoted to a side concubine." ”

"Go on." Old Mrs. Su's eyes lit up when she heard this, and she immediately said.

"As we all know, the third princess did a lot of wrong things, and the second highness who was almost wronged was demoted out of Beijing, and in the end, the emperor just demoted her from the princess to the side concubine, of course, this is to see the relationship between the Su Taishi Mansion behind her, recently the queen mother has made a big fanfare to re-select the princess for the three princes, this is to slap the face of the Su family, how can they sit still? Naturally, I want to think of a way to break the game. ”
