Chapter 275
Shen Zhongchen didn't know that Mrs. Yuan was planning to sell Fang Siqi to the land of fireworks, so when the next person told him the original conversation between Fang Siqi and Yuan Yingying, he was immediately furious.
He immediately dug out the letter between Lord Yuan and the prince of Liao that he intercepted, and then asked his subordinates to deliberately sell a flaw and let the emperor's secret guards take it away.
The next day, Xuanyuan Yi took a leave of absence from Yuan Yingying in the name of jealousy.
She and the entire Yuan Mansion were all imprisoned. Although the sentence has not yet been sentenced, and Lord Yuan's collusion with the prince of Liao has not been exposed, the emperor's meaning is obvious, and no one in the Yuan Mansion can escape.
Fang Siqi only heard about this matter, and she was busy preparing for the housewarming banquet.
This housewarming banquet can be regarded as the first time that the Shen family has entered the upper circle of Beijing.
Although Shen Zhongchen has become an upstart in the court, the foundation is too shallow, and if you want not to be underestimated, this banquet is very important.
Fortunately, Fang Siqi is quite experienced in this area, so he will not be blind when he prepares.
Even though Fang Siqi did everything himself, because Ruan Yan was too capable, Fang Siqi was not tired.
On this day, after Fang Siqi finished writing the invitation, he quietly watched Ruan Yan classify the invitations on the side.
Ruan Yan's movements were so light that he could barely hear a sound. Fang Siqi watched her neatly stack the invitations neatly, and sighed, "Ruan Yan, you are so capable, I am reluctant to let you go in the future." ”
Ruan Yan turned her head in surprise, a rare trace of panic crossed her eyes, "Madam, is it that the slave maid is not good enough?" ”
"Nope!" Fang Siqi said with a smile.
"Then you..." Ruan Yan raised her eyes and looked at Fang Siqi, very confused in her heart, since Madam was not dissatisfied, why did she still think about sending herself away.
"It's because you're so good, so I'm afraid I won't get used to it when you leave." Fang Siqi explained, "I'm really not dissatisfied with you, don't think about it." ”
Ruan Yan hesitated for a moment and then asked, "But... If you don't sell your slaves, how can you leave? ”
Fang Siqi blinked and asked in surprise, "Aren't you here with me to wait until Lime comes back?" ”
"The slave and maid signed the death contract, and the slave and maid are the lady's people in this life." Ruan Yan then asked, "Isn't Madam satisfied with the slave?" ”
"Death Pact?!" Fang Siqi was shocked.
If she is not mistaken, Ruan Yan, a maid, can also do martial arts, how much silver does such a powerful maid get!
Shen Zhongchen, a loser, spent so much money and didn't know how to discuss it with himself.
Ruan Yan looked at Fang Siqi with wide eyes, a little at a loss.
No matter how versatile she is, it will be useless not to please her master.
Fang Siqi put away her surprise, she got up and patted Ruan Yan's shoulder, "Don't think about it, I like you very much." ”
Fang Siqi didn't have time to appease his maid, and hurriedly walked towards Shen Zhongchen's study.
Shen Zhongchen had already returned from the next court, and he originally wanted to accompany Fang Siqi to write an invitation together, but Fang Siqi was worried that the two of them were tired of writing and writing together, and they couldn't do anything serious, so they sent them to the study.
Shen Zhongchen was originally sulking because Fang Siqi ignored him, but now that Fang Siqi took the initiative to find him, he immediately smiled, and he was no longer angry.
"Qiqi!"
He walked quickly to Fang Siqi's side, took her hand and brought it to the soft couch in the study.
The wide and soft couch in Shen Zhongchen's narrow study looked particularly abrupt. This was specially purchased by Shen Zhongchen in order to let Fang Siqi come here to sit comfortably.
Shen Zhongchen's voice was no different from usual, but when he heard Fang Siqi's ears, it was so sweet.
She looked at Shen Zhongchen's excited face, and her mood unconsciously became happy.
The couch has been widened, so two people can lie down.
I don't know what the upper cushion is inside, the hardness is just right, and it is very comfortable to sit on.
"When did you buy this couch?" Fang Siqi asked curiously.
"When you go back to Beijing." Shen Zhongchen said, "Didn't I invite you to come to the study to accompany me at that time?" You don't think it's comfortable to sit in the study, so you refuse. ”
"This soft couch is comfortable, isn't it?" Shen Zhongchen said, "If I have business in the future, you can come here to accompany me, okay?" ”
“…”
Fang Siqi knew that Shen Zhongchen was sticking to him, if he was fine, it would be nothing to come to the study to accompany him.
It's just that this man...
This soft couch looks like it's worth a lot of money, but there is already a soft couch in the study of the General's Mansion, so isn't it a waste?
"You haven't forgotten that we're moving soon, are you?"
"Of course I remember," Shen Zhongchen looked at her sadly, "You've been busy with this matter for the past few days, and you've ignored me..."
"Last night, I was about to turn off the lights before I could say a few words to you..."
"Qiqi, when you're busy for a while, do you want to compensate me?"
Shen Zhongchen's pitiful appearance made Fang Siqi forget the purpose of her coming here to find him, and she asked slightly apologetically, "What compensation do you want?" ”
Shen Zhongchen's eyes lit up when he heard this, he got up from the soft couch, rummaged through his bookshelf, and found a book.
After he turned a few pages, he blushed and spread out the book in front of Fang Siqi, "Qiqi, let's try this posture!" ”
Fang Siqi looked at the pictures on the book, her face burned in a panic, she quickly closed the book and dragged it in her hand, "What kind of books are you reading!" ”
"Qiqi, this is compensation..."
Shen Zhongchen's eyes were wet, as if he had been abandoned, he was very pitiful, and Fang Siqi's heart tightened.
It seems that no matter what he asks, Fang Siqi will be soft-hearted.
Fang Siqi held the book tightly and said nervously, "But..."
"It just so happens that the soft couch in the study is big enough," Shen Zhongchen was lifted and hugged Fang Siqi to his lap, "Let's try this posture, okay?" ”
Shen Zhongchen coaxed softly, "Just try..."
"If Qiqi feels uncomfortable, let's stop."
Stop it?
Fang Siqi looked at Shen Zhongchen's surprisingly bright eyes, and he didn't know how to complain.
It would be strange if he stopped.
It's just that Fang Siqi has indeed snubbed Shen Zhongchen a little in the past two days, and she misses him a lot.
Fang Siqi pushed Shen Zhongchen down and looked at her condescendingly, "Try it..."
……
After being satisfied, Shen Zhongchen panted and said, "This soft couch was bought in time..."
The drowsy Fang Siqi struck a stir when she heard this, she suddenly remembered the purpose of her coming here, she poked Shen Zhongchen who was hugging her, "Ruan Yan was bought by you?" ”
Shen Zhongchen nodded, "Why did Qiqi only think to ask now." ”
Fang Siqi can say that she thought he was borrowing it from Jiang Shaodong's family, and when the lime comes back, this person will have to return it.
"How much money did it cost?"
"Uh... 20,000 taels..."
"What?" Fang Siqi sat up in shock, "Twenty thousand taels? ”
"Shen Zhongchen, you loser!"
"What are you buying with so much silver, buy a maid!"
Shen Zhongchen held down Fang Siqi, who was about to run away, "Qiqi, Ruan Yan is very good, I can only rest assured that people like her are serving you." ”
"It's just a little bit of silver, and I think it's worth it..."
"Value, although value... But after all, it's 20,000 taels! Fang Siqi's heart ached faintly.
A maid is a general's mansion! No, even the General's Mansion is not as valuable as her.
"Qiqi, I worked so hard, didn't I earn it for you to spend?"
Fang Siqi didn't know what to say, and muttered quietly, "But such a loser..."
"Qiqi, you don't need to be diligent in running the house." Shen Zhongchen said magnificently, "You can buy whatever you want, as long as you are happy, you can spend as much money as you want." ”
"Your husband will work hard to earn the money and let you spend it."
