The corners of Yang Ji's eyes raised slightly, and she followed Shen Shenling's words and said, "Husband, Ling'er's words are reasonable. If you punish this cheap maid and demote her to an inferior and rough slave, what does the husband think? ”

Shen Song flicked his wide sleeves fiercely, and a fierce wind swept straight into the maid's face, making her feel cold, but the broken hair mixed with blood and tears could not be shaken. He sat down with a cold snort, and slapped his left hand on the desk beside him, and his voice sounded in a loud slap: "Drag it down, heavy responsibility!" ”

This special accident came to an end in Shen Song's regression, if he hadn't had a lot of concerns, he wouldn't have given up so easily today.

After a while, two lamps of tea were presented to the front again, this time although the whole process was carried out in an orderly manner, but Shen Song was already untainted with tea. His scalded tongue didn't have five or six days to heal, and the person who made this trick probably didn't expect Zhao Jianning to pick up the boiling water and not let go.

It would be rude to knock over the cup on such an occasion, and that person's purpose was actually very simple, that is, he wanted to watch this royal daughter go wrong. In this way, Zhao Jianning not only ended up with a joke, but also left a knot in the hearts of Shen Song and his wife. And Zhao Jianning will definitely not put the blame on a mere cup of tea, and shirking the blame will only lose her identity.

The atmosphere in the hall eased a lot, Zhao Jianning stood up with the help of the maid behind him after finishing the tea, and under the leadership of Shen Shenlu, he greeted several other elders, and then went to his eldest brother and sister-in-law.

"A salute to my eldest brother." Zhao Jianning bent her knees slightly, her ice blue wide sleeves half-hid her lowered eyebrows, and she bowed with a generous posture.

Shen Shenling was dressed in dark green embroidered deep clothes, the bun of Guanyu was raised high, and the two sword eyebrows on his handsome face seemed to be painted in thick ink. He narrowed his eyes and raised his right hand slightly: "From now on, it will be a family, and younger brothers and sisters don't need to be polite." ”

Zhao Jianning took two steps towards Shen Shenlu's side gracefully, and her eyes immediately fell on the high bulging belly of the woman in front of her. This is her sister-in-law Meng Jinzhu, although she is pregnant now, her gorgeous demeanor has not diminished.

"Sister-in-law......"

"Yo, my sister's status is noble, let's get rid of it, how dare I accept your courtesy, isn't this tormenting me?" Before Zhao Jianning could bend down, Meng Jinzhu had already stepped forward and raised his hand to support Zhao Jianning's arm and wrist. The voice was subtle, and there was a faint sour in the politeness.

The wisp of the morning sun gradually moved to the flower table with the window low in the cliché of everyone, and after coming out of the hall, Zhao Jianning followed Shen Shenlu to another place, which was the residence of Old Madam Shen. Old Madam Shen is now old, and her health is deteriorating, so she no longer shows up in public on weekdays. They need to go to the tea ceremony to show their filial piety. When it was all over and the two of them returned to their lodgings, breakfast time had already passed.

Several maidservants carried food boxes into the house one after another, and in the face of the exquisite dishes full of cases, Zhao Jianning had no time to take care of them, so she only ordered Orange: "Go find some ointment." ”

There were a few small clear blisters faintly on the fingertips, and there was a faint red around the blisters, so you can imagine how hot Shen Song's mouth was. Who did it, Zhao Jianning didn't want to investigate it, as long as she stayed in her room and didn't go out in the future, she didn't believe that she would find the door by herself.

"Why don't you eat it? Is today's meal not to taste? After the maids went out, Shen Shenlu first went to the inner room to change his clothes, and now that the clothes were changed, he turned around and walked out but saw Zhao Jianning sitting in front of the desk with a fluttering mind.

Hearing the sound, the long eyelashes trembled slightly on Zhao Jian's eyes, and the scattered gaze immediately converged into a point, and fell on Shen Shenlu's face, a very handsome face, she kissed it all last night, but she just couldn't remember it. Now the relationship with Shen Shenlu seems to be strange and unfamiliar, and it seems to be familiar or unfamiliar, which makes her feel a little weird.

She retracted her gaze, and the corners of her mouth pulled out a trace of arc: "Before the husband arrives, how can I move the chopsticks first." ”

"Between you and me, there is no need to be so stubborn." Shen Shenlu looked at her, and with his usual warmth, he walked towards the case where she was.

Zhao Jianning didn't speak, and just about to hold chopsticks with his left hand to find the ointment, Orange had already appeared at the door, holding a silver box the size of a rouge buckle in his hand. This was brought by Zhao Jianning from Jian's Mansion in case of emergency, but he never thought that it would be used soon.

"Miss, bear with me." Orange spread out Zhao Jianning's jade fingers, and Liangwan's eyebrows instantly frowned.

"Your hand?" The small bubbles on his fingertips fell into Shen Shenlu's eyes, and he understood in an instant, if he could burn his hands into such water, even if the sense of touch was dull, I am afraid that he would react, right? I can't help but feel angry, "How can you act like this? You know it's disrespectful to my father! Do you still have etiquette in your eyes? ”

"What does the husband want me to do? Is it directly saying that the tea is too hot? Or knock it over? Both of them made people with a heart look at the jokes, and laughed at the daughter of the Jane family for being delicate? Knowing that someone is deliberately making things difficult, can't I fight back? Zhao Jianning raised his eyes, his tone was light and peaceful, but he was asking questions again and again.

Shen Shenlu originally wanted to say a few more words to her, but the raised words went down again, and finally turned into a helpless sigh, and lowered the corners of his eyebrows: "You can signal to me, and there is no need to hurt your own hands." ”

"Signaling you? How can you do that? Zhao Jianning looked at his fingertips that had been coated with ointment, and gently exhaled a few traces of breath, which fell on it slightly cool, faintly tinged with pain, it seems that he has not been able to hold a pen and chopsticks for a few days.

Shen Shenlu couldn't say anything for a while, so he simply stopped arguing with Zhao Jianning, and went to Shuxuan after having breakfast. Although the imperial court allowed him to take a break for half a month due to the big wedding, there were still some things to deal with at hand. In order to have a bright future, he must be conscientious and conscientious.

"Miss, looking at Dr. Shen's appearance, he should be angry."

"Let it be."

Orange couldn't help but look worried, and the next words were brewing in her heart for a long time, and finally opened her thin lips and said carefully: "Miss, Dr. Shen is the one who wants to spend your life with you, the days ahead are still long, you have to be more or less scrupulous, it is best to catch his heart as soon as possible, so that your position will not be shaken forever, not to displease him like this." ”

yes, a lifetime. Saying that it is not long, saying that it is short, it is not short, it seems to reveal a kind of insignificance, which makes people feel melancholy. What should be her end? Whether she died sadly like her stepmother because she couldn't conceive an heir, or whether she could spend the rest of her life in this Shen family in peace and tranquility as she wished, she didn't know all this.

Her expression was a little dazed, her two thin lips moved slightly, and her fluttering voice spread: "Heart? Where did the man's heart come from? If they have a heart, how can they like the new and hate the old? Mother is right, in this world, I am afraid that the only way to have children is to stabilize the rest of your life forever. ”

"Miss, you can't generalize because of Madame's business, right? If you think about Jian Yushi, who said that men have no heart. ”

Looking at the bright sunshine sprinkled on the ground outside the window, Zhao Jianning gradually felt that her head was dizzy, her eyes were misty, and she got up and walked towards the inner room after waving her hand slightly to Orange, and the voice that came into Orange's ears was low: "Just ask, how many such men are there in the world?" I'm tired, go take a nap. ”

The afternoon breeze carried the warmth of the sun across the corner of the curtain, Zhao Jianning held her wrist and slept quietly beside the long cloud foot case, wisps of green smoke slowly overflowed from the hollow incense burner, and the chirping birdsong outside the window diffused in the soft wind, and Nana lingered around her.

Through the empty smoke screen, the corners of her eyes and eyebrows could not hide the tiredness. Orange didn't want to bother, but when she saw her like this, she was faintly worried in her heart after all, and couldn't help but open her mouth, and her voice was very low: "Miss, for more than ten days, I haven't seen you look good, and you are always listless, why don't you find a Lang Zhong to take a look?" ”

"It's okay, it's just that I didn't sleep well at night." Zhao Jianning's two eyes trembled, but she didn't open them, she moved lazily and changed to a comfortable support position.

Hearing Zhao Jianning say this, Orange immediately realized something, and her cheeks instantly opened up with two bright colors, slightly hot. After a long while, she opened her mouth again with difficulty, and said it implicitly: "In this way, how can your body stand it, you have to think about it." ”

Zhao Jianning naturally understood the meaning of Cheng'er's words, which provoked her to open her tired eyes and sneer at Cheng'er: "Cheng'er, when did your brain become so cranky?" That Dr. Shen of yours, snoring at night is like that rolling thunder. I may not have gotten used to it, so I couldn't sleep. ”

Orange heard something rare, one didn't hold back, snorted and laughed, a pair of copper bells narrowed into slits, and the words were full of joy: "Returning to Ning that day, Jian Yushi patted his chest and said, he found a talented and beautiful Ruyi Langjun for you!" If this is told to him, he may not be able to hold up his old man's face. ”

Zhao Jianning inhaled a wisp of light smoke, and the elegant sandalwood fragrance rippled in his nose, and he only felt comfortable. Hearing Orange's words, she inadvertently hooked the corners of her lips, but when the scene of returning to Ning that day surfaced in her mind, the smile on her cheeks did not fully bloom after all.

"Ning'er, although this Zhuang marriage is a marriage, I have wronged you. But wouldn't it be better, for he will put you first in everything he does. Although Shen Song has a slight trace, the inner house of Shen Mansion is complicated. But your husband's character and appearance are impeccable, and I took a fancy to this in the first place. If you think about it, is there any mansion that is not complicated? I don't ask you to glorify the lintel for the Jane family, I just want you to be stable and happy all your life. Also, don't worry, as long as I am here, he will not want to take a concubine. ”

In this way, before getting married, Jian Yushi Jian didn't know how many times he said it to Zhao Jianning, but he still hoped that she could remember that everything he did was for her good. Yes, although he originally planned to marry his daughter to others, there is a limit, and the other party is by no means a concubine, or a vulgar-looking person. And Shen Shenlu just happened to be in his eyes, after all, he was an official in the same dynasty, needless to say, his appearance was needless to say, as for his character, he naturally knew it.

"I also know very well that there are interests in him marrying you, but there is no such thing as the best of both worlds. But my uncle is by my side, and if I am wronged, just come home, and I will definitely make decisions for you. I will never let you follow in your mother's footsteps and marry someone else for your beloved, only to end up in such a miserable situation. ”

Jian Yuan's sentence was serious, and Zhao Jianning just listened quietly, occasionally responding to one or two sentences. Her thoughts were actually the same as Jian Yuanduan, but a faint melancholy had spread in her heart. One wants a stable and uncontested life, and the other wants a broad and unhindered career. In her opinion, this marriage contract is just a matter of taking what you need. It's just that she doesn't know if the husband carefully selected by Jian Yuanduan for her can give her an indisputable life, after all, what happened to the tea ceremony that day is still vivid. Maybe she still needs to fight for all this she wants, and she should stabilize her position as soon as possible.

"Miss, what's wrong with you?" Seeing Zhao Jianning's expression of not smiling on her face, and her eyes lost focus again, Orange couldn't help but have a little curiosity in her eyes, and stretched out her little head to Zhao Jianning.

Zhao Jianning glanced at Cheng'er softly, and poked her finger at Cheng'er's forehead: "Uncle, how can you make fun of you, beware of me telling him, you can be careful." ”

"Miss will only scare and scare me, in the year of Jian Mansion, how have I ever seen Jian Yushi beat and scold people." Orange pouted, obviously dissatisfied with Zhao Jianning's words.

Zhao Jianning stopped teasing her, her face returned to her usual blandness, and she ordered to get down to business: "It's still early, you go to the street to grab two pairs of body-conditioning potions and come back, fry them." ”

"Miss is trying to ......"

"That's right, go ahead."

As soon as Orange stepped through the door, she bumped into a bright yellow figure. Orange's low gaze just fell on the abdomen of the person who came, looking at the high bulging belly, he didn't need to think about it to know who it was, so he hurriedly curtsy: "Big lady." ”

"Excuse me." Meng Jinzhu slightly lifted the snow wrist, and the soft wattle coated with dankou and his body brushed directly from the orange linesight, and without waiting for anyone to greet him, he helped his waist in, followed by six servants. In Orange's opinion, this pomp and posture is really comparable to the lady in the palace.

Now that the visitor came, Orange had no choice but to turn back, follow a group of people in, and hurriedly instructed the maid who was waiting for the side house to serve tea and fruit snacks.

Meng Jinzhu Shi Ran entered, and now although his body is heavy, his steps are as sloppy as ever. Before anyone arrived, the words came first: "Sister, I haven't seen you for a few days, are you okay?"

When Zhao Jianning raised his eyes, through the thin smoke, the bright yellow figure had lightly picked up the bead curtain and entered, his lips were smiling, and his peach eyes were full of autumn water, which was moving. Behind him was the crisp sound of the bead curtain colliding, and the sound was like a woman with a blue heart casually picking the strings, playing a little pipa sound rippling in the silence. The four maidservants stood on either side, and did not go in with her, while the other two followed her firmly, not daring to be sloppy.
