Chapter 103: Family Affairs
Meng Jiao and Lu Li, the matter of the marriage between the Meng family and the Shen family is really on the agenda.
"The third lady said that Shen Shuai had already sent someone to the door to ask for marriage, and those silk and satin jewelry and other things, when they were seen, they said that they were the same as those who didn't want money."
"The slave maid also heard about it, and now everyone in the capital knows that the little lady of the Meng family is deeply favored by Shen Shuai, and before she entered the door, she has already sent more than half of the things to her mother's house!"
Meng Jiao's family affairs are about to be decided, and these maids who have been with Meng Jiao for a long time are also happy.
Cui Sleeve is still so occasionally childish, and when she jokes with Cui Jin, Meng Jiao still can't resist, and it has to be Mama Lin to stop these two poor girls.
It was easy to make a big deal of two girls, and Mama Lin frowned and lowered her voice to talk to Meng Jiao.
"The slave maid inquired about something, don't worry, don't worry, it's really not certain."
"Mama just said it, but is it about Brother Yun Xiao?"
What Mama Lin wants to say is really about Shen Yunxiao, and it is still very bad news.
But it turned out that Shen Yunxiao returned to Beijing to report on his work, because after returning from the victory, the emperor held a banquet in the palace, and the queen mother didn't know why she also came over, but this is not a big deal, the important thing is that the queen mother called her niece Yunlian into the palace, and praised her niece during the banquet.
The emperor figured out the meaning of the Queen Mother, but because of the mother-daughter connection, it was difficult to say anything, but Shen Yunyu didn't care about the Queen Mother's face, because of the previous turmoil, he was already dissatisfied with the Queen Mother.
"Shen Shuai left the table halfway, he should have broken up unhappily, it's a big deal that Shen Shuai went to the table the next day to ask for guilt, and it would be a matter of punishment or grounding, who knows, after Shen Shuai left the table, the young lady of the Yun family also went out with him."
Yun Lian followed out, Shen Yunxiao didn't know, if it wasn't for Yun Lian to speak out, Shen Yunxiao wouldn't care about this girl at all.
Shen Yunxiao is not the kind of person who drags mud and water, and he righteously rejected Yunlian's intentions, so he wanted to leave, but he didn't guard Yunlian and pounced, Shen Yunxiao subconsciously dodged, Yunlian happened to pounce in the air, and planted straight towards the imperial lake.
"It is said that the place is remote, there are no people to come and go, Shen Shuai has no choice but to rescue people and go to the Queen Mother together."
Shen Yunxiao was helpless, but he didn't expect to be left in the palace by the Queen Mother, and he said that he was waiting for Yunlian to wake up and thank him in person, but in fact, he had his own considerations.
When Shen Yunxiao waited impatiently in the Empress Dowager's palace, Yunlian woke up halfway, but Shen Yunxiao didn't know why he fell asleep.
"News from the palace? Is it reliable? β
"The letter sent by the concubine should be fine."
Concubine An sent someone to deliver the letter, then it must be true.
Meng Jiao didn't believe that Shen Yunyu would like that Yunlian, but looking at the current situation, her general must have been haunted by rumors and trapped in the palace.
Meng Jiao was silent for a long time, Mama Lin mistakenly thought that she was angry, and after thinking about it for a few times, she still chose to speak to comfort.
"Little lady is not angry, Shen Shuai must not be that kind of person."
"Mama is too careful, I don't suspect Brother Yun Xiao, if I doubt, I would have suspected it early, I don't have to wait until today, I'm just thinking, you just said that Brother Yun Xiao fell asleep unconsciously at the Queen Mother's place, this is full of suspicions."
As soon as Meng Jiao said this, Mama Lin also discovered the trick.
What kind of person is Shen Yunxiao, that is the general who is defending one side of the battlefield, to put it mildly, let's say that he is drowsy, even if he dozes off, he can be vigilant.
It must not be so easy for people to take advantage of it.
"According to the little lady's words, if... Then it can only be, what did the Queen Mother do in it. β
Meng Jiao sneered, she really didn't understand, why the Queen Mother was so obsessed with stuffing her niece for Shen Yunxiao, if Shen Yunyan was not interested in a woman, then she would never have any thoughts about her.
The Queen Mother did this, in addition to deepening Shen Yunxiao's dissatisfaction with her, Meng Jiao couldn't see any use for it at present.
"Has the news gotten out now? Or, only in the palace? β
"The meaning of the concubine Niangniang, it seems that it is only circulating in the palace now, but, little lady, you know, where there are people, there is right and wrong, this thing is very disgraceful, but it just corresponds to the psychology of people who want to chew the root of the tongue, so, it should be... It's already slowly circulating. β
Where there are people, there is right and wrong, and there are many people in the palace who talk about it, and this will only spread faster.
"Mama go get ready, let's go to the palace."
Meng Jiao wants to enter the palace, so naturally it is not difficult to do.
It's just that this time Concubine An Guifei did not have the joy of welcoming Meng Jiao into the palace in the past, and she is now full of distress.
Her gillian has just reached the end of her life, and she just wanted to marry that kid from the Shen family, but that kid did such a disgraceful thing, which really made her angry.
Whether it is voluntary or not, after all, this has happened, and Concubine An Guifei can't get over the hurdle in her heart at all.
Meng Jiaolai was under the stage of Ruizhang, and what she saw was Concubine An Guifei's frowning brows.
"Aunt An's appearance makes me feel so full of sorrow, and I'm embarrassed to show it."
Meng Jiao opened her mouth to laugh, and Concubine An Guifei came to her senses, and welcomed Meng Jiao into the palace happily and distressedly.
"You girl, your fiancΓ© has been touched by others, are you still in the mood to laugh here."
"Now that the matter is not a foregone conclusion, why did Aunt An get deflated first?"
Meng Jiao didn't care about Concubine An's words, but it was her rhetorical question that made Concubine An suspicious.
What Meng Jiao means is, is there a turning point in this matter?
"Gillian, you mean, there is a turning point in this matter? But the news has come from the Queen Mother, and several little maids saw the situation when they went in to serve. How can there be an explanation? β
"I don't know if Aunt An knows, the news I heard, Brother Yun Xiao fell asleep halfway, and there is no exact situation that can be proved in the future, it is directly the situation that the little maid went in this morning to serve and find out, Aunt An thinks, isn't it worth making us suspicious?"
Meng Jiao's words made Concubine An almost enlightened.
Indeed, Shen Yun fell asleep, so whether there was anything between them or not was just the words of those little maids.
Moreover, if they took 10,000 steps back, even if they saw that Shen Yunxiao and Yunlian were sleeping together, then no one could prove whether Shen Yunyan had touched Yunlian or not.
"Mero! Send someone to the Queen Mother to deliver a message, the palace wants to go over to visit! β
