Chapter 460: Invited to the Sheng Mansion
Because of this sudden change, Shangguan Juan did not go to Yipin Pavilion again, and went back here directly after leaving Sheng Zijing, deciding to be careful and go to Mu Chenyu tomorrow.
But early the next morning, someone sent an invitation to find 'Yue Liancheng', and the protΓ©gΓ© Xiaofu took the post full of doubts and muttered, "There is this person here?" β
He couldn't make up his mind, so he ran directly to find his own young lady, "Miss, is our family Yue Liancheng this person?" β
Shangguan Wanben was writing a manuscript in the study with peace of mind, and when she heard the name, her hand shook, and a piece of bamboo was declared scrapped, but she didn't have time to feel distressed, so she hurriedly stood up, her Qingli little face was a little more panicked, and asked in a loud voice, "Someone came to find Yue Liancheng?" β
"It's not true, it's just that someone just sent an invitation post, claiming to give it to Yue Liancheng." The little guy replied weakly.
Shangguan Juan breathed a sigh of relief, slowly walked out and picked up the post, and said calmly, "Just leave it to me, you go down first." β
After sending Xiaofu away, she returned to the table, and looked at the invitation in front of her with a plain paper and gold rim, which was almost the same as his master's temperament.
After half a sound, with a slight sigh, she turned it on anyway.
Shangguan Gongzi, today I am specially invited to the cold house for a gathering. Signed: Sheng Zijing.
The posts are all down, and Shangguan Juan can only push back today's itinerary, disguise himself, and secretly go to the appointment from the back door here.
This time she hired a carriage in advance, firstly, she didn't know where the Sheng Mansion was, and secondly, she was afraid that Zhao Li's house would surround her again, and if she encountered yesterday's incident today, it would not be so lucky.
So I walked here to the right side to wait for the coachman, and before she could come, she heard a conversation between the stall owner and an old lady, as if something was wrong, so she looked sideways, and it turned out to be a shop selling some gadgets, so she pricked up her ears and listened carefully.
"Old lady, it's not me bragging, these things in my house have been opened by the Bodhisattva, and it's not expensive to sell one or two pieces of silver at all, you can take it home to ensure that the house is safe and smooth." The stall owner's eyes were shining, and his face was calculated.
"Really? Can I buy it home and keep it safe? My grandson's illness really can't wait, this today I only brought a tael of silver to buy medicine, if you don't coax me, then I'll take one, and I can only be a dead horse as a live horse doctor. The old lady's words were choked, as if she was suppressing the sadness in her heart.
"Don't worry, get the money quickly."
Shangguan Juan figured out the general situation of the matter from a few words, Liu frowned slightly, and without saying a word, he turned around and grabbed the old lady's hand that was ready to pay, and said to the stall owner, "Do you have a good conscience?" Even life-saving money has to be cheated. β
The stall owner saw that the money was about to arrive, but he didn't know where a pit came out, and he dared to spoil his good deeds, so he immediately sank his face and said gloomily, "Stinky boy, don't be nosy, it's something you and I want to do with this old woman, why don't you hurry up and get out."

Shangguan Juan didn't want to be verbose with this person, so he grabbed the old lady and was about to leave, but the stall owner took out a stick from his feet, his eyes were fierce, and he wanted to step forward to beat people.
Shangguan Juan protected the old lady behind him, anger came from the fire, and he said sharply, "Next to this is Yue Tingshi's mansion, you dare to commit murder in the street?" If I howl, the guards will rush out and put you in prison. β
The stall owner was frightened at once, and his murderous expression changed and changed, and finally he only left a fierce "you wait" and retreated.
Shangguan Juan couldn't help sneering, thinking that this person was just a straw bag, so he pulled the old lady and walked towards the door here, seeing the stall owner's shocked face, he breathed a sigh of relief, stopped, took out some silver taels from the purse on his waist and handed it to the old lady, and said softly, "You can use this money to buy medicine, that person is a liar, don't be fooled again in the future." β
The old lady also saw the hideous look of the man who picked up the stick, of course she knew that she was in a hurry to go to the doctor, looking at the silver that Shangguan Juan took out, her old face showed a little struggle, and finally gritted her teeth and waved her hand, "This son, you have helped me, I can't take your money anymore no matter what I say now." β
Shangguan Juan Yuguang saw that the carriage she hired had arrived, so she broke her calloused hands, forcefully put the money in, and then turned around and left in a hurry, her clear voice fell, "I'm leaving, I hope your grandson will get better soon." β
Shengfu is located in Nanxiang Street, which is known as the Alley of Literati in Beijing. Because most of the scholarly families in the capital, literati and ink writers live here, most of the shops on this street also sell the four treasures of the scholar's room, which is very cultural, and it is simply a typical example of 'talking and laughing with Confucianism, and there is no white ding'.
Sheng Mansion is in the most lively area of Nanxiang Street, two majestic stone lions outside the door stand quietly on both sides of the gate of Sheng Mansion, and the plaque on the dark red background sets off the black Sheng Mansion two words very charming.
Shangguan Juan was attracted as soon as he got out of the carriage, his bright eyes flashed with a little admiration, and he sighed in his heart: It is worthy of being the home of the head of Taixue Mountain, and it has literary charm.
She gently straightened the placket and cuffs, and then solemnly buttoned the lion's head knocker on the door, but after a while, a delicate little guy came and asked, "May I ask what the son is doing?" β
Even the little guy is like this, which can't help but make Shangguan Juan's attitude more respectful and polite, and he asked gently, "May I ask if Sheng Zi Jing Sheng is here?" Today, he wants me to come to your mansion for a gathering, and please let me know. β
Xiao Xiao's face suddenly showed a look of sudden realization, and said earnestly, "You are the official son of Yue Liancheng, my son-in-law has already commanded, if you come, you can bring it in directly, please here." He said with a gesture of leaning sideways and raising his hand in a gesture of please.
After thanking him, Shangguan Juan directly raised his feet to change his heel to the little guy, raised his head and chest, and walked forward without squinting, and the surrounding scene kept flashing in the afterglow: the pink dots in the verdant garden, the contrast is very eye-catching, the gurgling water is introduced in the rockery, flowing quietly, listening carefully, the clear sound of the stream flowing over makes people feel inexplicably comfortable.
A building came into view in the distance, a touch of white inlaid under the shade of a willow, Shangguan Juan recognized at a glance, that person must be Sheng Zijing.
Sure enough, after approaching, the little servant saluted, "Childe, Shangguan Gongzi has already brought." β
Today he is still wearing a white dress, the blue piping sews the placket and cuffs in an orderly manner, lining the already fair complexion even more, sitting comfortably under the willow tree, the whole picture looks warm as the wind, and the outstanding appearance is even more eye-catching, Wen Yan raised his eyes slightly and stared at her, and his tone was slightly raised, "Shangguan Gongzi, you are here." β
