Chapter 54: Pair the scumbag and the scumbag
In the county lord's mansion, Zhiyan asked people to build a stone house next to the back mountain to accommodate the people they rescued. Since those people had eaten the pills made by Shen Yafei, they had already improved, so Shen Yafei and the others stepped up refining the medicine.
Everyone else was busy, but only Shen Yafei was idle, so she went into the palace from time to time to accompany the queen. The queen's illness has not changed, but the emperor has newly canonized several concubines. However, every time she entered the palace and saw the queen endure the pain, Shen Yafei felt very happy.
One day, Shen Yafei received an invitation from the Zhang family, inviting her to attend Marquis Zhang's birthday banquet. It's almost a month since He Shengren was poisoned, and it's time!
On this day, Shen Yafei wore an elegant plain blue dress to attend Marquis Zhang's birthday banquet. When Zhang Yuanyuan saw her, he pulled her over excitedly and chatted for a long time.
"Sister Fei'er, it's been a long time. No, now you should be called the Lord of Minyi, and the courtiers will say hello to the Lord of Minyi. Zhang Yuanyuan leaned slightly and teased.
Miss Zhang laughed. It's just a name. Shen Yafei was modest, but her face was full of arrogance, and she didn't mean to help Zhang Yuanyuan.
Zhang Yuanyuan couldn't help but be angry when she saw this, and pretended to be angry and said, "Sister Fei'er, is this putting her sister on the shelf of the county lord?" "Do you really think that if you make the county lord, you will be superior? It's not that the emperor sees her pitiful, and wants her to have an identity to marry the prince without losing face. But now the prince is not the same as he is unwilling to marry you! What a shelf in front of me!
"Miss Zhang should still be called the county lord Min Yi county lord, so as not to make people think that Miss Zhang will not distinguish between status and dignity!" Shen Yafei had no intention of giving her face.
Shen Yafei's words shocked the others present, and Huo Ningyu couldn't help but muttered in a low voice: "I really think that there is something terrible about me, isn't it just a woman who is not wanted by the son of the world." ”
"Miss Huo, please be cautious!" Shen Yafei deliberately raised her voice, "Miss Huo's words are criticizing the royal family. Criticizing the life of the prince in public, does Miss Huo want to dictate other people's lives? Isn't it because the prince of the capital wants to live, and with Miss Huo's consent? ”
After listening to this, the people present also felt that what the fifth lady of the Huo family said just now was inappropriate and too undignified. A girl's family openly talks about the lives of other men in public, and she is also a relative of the emperor, this is not just a matter of solemnity or not, but no brain!
"I didn't!" Huo Ningyu was very big when she heard this crime, and she was anxious to refute it.
"Oh, then Miss Huo said so, or did the county lord wronged you? Then Miss Huo dare to swear, if you had discussed the life of the prince just now, you Huo Ningyu would not be able to marry in this life, and even if you married, you would be widowed in the first year. Do you dare! Shen Yafei stared into her eyes and said with a smile.
This oath of the county lord of Minyi is too vicious, and it is simply too difficult for a strong person to ask a girl who has not said goodbye to make such an oath!
"You're not fair, why should I swear such a poisonous oath." Huo Ningyu said.
"Miss Huo Wu said this to admit that she has arbitrarily judged the private life of the children of the royal family!" Shen Yafei's voice did not decrease in the slightest, and it was still a voice to ensure that all the guests present could hear it.
If you don't swear, you are talking about the crimes of the royal family, and swearing is to curse yourself for not having a good home in your life, and no matter which one is not light.
"Lord Minyi, don't go too far." Huo Ningyu, who was wearing his wife's makeup, couldn't help but come over when she saw her sister being bullied.
"Why is it that the county lord is too much, what he said, he doesn't even have the courage to admit it, and he really has enough pockets!" Shen Yafei laughed shamefully.
"Lord Minyi!" Huo Ning drank the aroma.
"Miss Huo has something to do with calling the county lord?" Shen Yafei said with a smile.
"Have you ever heard the sentence of the county lord, 'Leave a line today, and he will see you tomorrow'." Huo Ningxiang said.
"The county lord didn't mean to befriend you in the first place. You people in Huo Mansion are really strange, you don't want to admit what you said, but you even threaten the lord of this county. If you don't admit it, you won't admit it, you don't need to be angry, it's a big deal that the county lord will be your default! Shen Yafei waved her hand magnificently.
This sentence invisibly scolded the entire Huo Mansion, this Minyi County Lord is really choking!
"Flutter!" Standing not far away, Hua Xi, who was wearing a mask on his face, couldn't help laughing when he heard Shen Yafei's words full of gunpowder, "Ah Xu, have you ever heard of spicy things in this world!" ”
"Big brother!" Xu Shizi glanced at him resentfully, he didn't regard her as a princess!
"She's pretty smart and knows what to say to shut people up. However, the smell of gunpowder is too strong, does she mean to offend everyone? Hua Xi saw that Shen Yafei had not been low-key since she entered the door, and she opened and closed her mouth to be the county lord and the county lord, as if she was deliberately showing off.
"She's funny, don't you think." Hua Xi clasped her hands around her chest and looked at Shen Yafei with interest, "I think she is quite compatible with you." ”
Xu Shizi rolled his eyes at his eldest brother.
"One of you is arrogant and domineering, and the other is arrogant and unreasonable." Hua Xi nodded with satisfaction at this judgment of his own.
"Princess Ning! Concubine Lin! At this time, the female dependents of King Ning's Mansion also arrived, but they saved the Huo family sisters who were in an awkward position.
"It's so lively here! Sister. Lin Wanxin affectionately held Chen Xi's hand and said with a smile.
Although they have been married to King Ning for a while, this is the first time they have attended a banquet together since they got married. Ning Wangfu has always been free of banquets, and the subordinates are trained and skilled, and their mouths are extremely strict, people have no way of knowing the situation of the two of them in Ning Wangfu, and they can't help but be curious. However, when they get along like this, people still haven't imagined this situation.
"Yes!" Chen Xi's posture is elegant and gentle, the smile on her face is just right, she is neither distant nor close to Lin Wanxin, she has the dignity and majesty of a princess.
Since the two of them married into King Ning's Mansion, the inner courtyard of King Ning's Mansion has been divided into two positions, but she has no conditions to compete with Lin Wanxin. On the first day, King Ning put the most trusted and capable housekeeper, grandmother and maid in the mansion in Lin Wanxin's courtyard, and also sent a secret guard to Lin Wanxin. What's even more ridiculous is that the management of the inner courtyard of King Ning's Mansion is in the hands of an old lady and a housekeeper, and she, the princess, has an empty identity, as if she is a fictitious. King Ning would go to her yard every month, except for when he was poisoned, and he would stay in Lin Wanxin's yard all the other times. Who is light and who is heavy, the discerning people in the house will know at a glance.
"I don't know what's going on here?" Lin Wanxin still smiled very kindly. Although she felt uncomfortable when she heard people call them "princess" first, and then she shouted, she also endured it. What about Concubine Zheng, Brother Ning's favorite person is still her.
"Princess Hui, Concubine Lin, just now the county lord of Minyi was discussing with us about the dignity of status, saying that it was for us to distinguish our identity and status." He Miaomiao was very enthusiastic to tell Chen Xi about the matter.
"Lord Minyi?" Chen Xi didn't remember who it was for a while.
"It's Miss Shen Yafei, it turns out that General Shen's ······" The meaning of He Miaomiao's words was very clear, so he didn't finish it all. After all, Concubine Lin is still there!
"Oh." Chen Xi just sighed lightly, although she had a grudge against Shen Yafei, she knew that it was Lin Wanxin who hated her the most, so she didn't want to stand up for Lin Wanxin.
Of course, Lin Wanxin will not be stupid enough to embarrass Shen Yafei in public, and to embarrass Shen Yafei is to let her peel off her unbearableness. However, Lin Wanxin still said a little uncertainly: "Lord Minyi is really kind! ”
"Concubine Lin has won the prize!" Shen Yafei deliberately bit the word "side concubine" very hard, but the smile on her face was unusually bright.
Lin Wanxin's face darkened on the spot, she didn't expect Shen Yafei to be so faceless, and the dignified image she had always maintained also collapsed, "I heard that Xu Shizi is also here, I don't know if he came with Lord Minyi?" ”
Shen Yafei chuckled: "The lord of this county is with the prince of Xu, the man is unmarried, and the woman is unmarried, so you still have to avoid suspicion." Even if the county lord has not been taught by his elders since he was a child, he understands this truth. How could Concubine Lin say such rude words? ”
Lin Wanxin seemed to know Shen Yafei for the first time, she never knew that Shen Yafei spoke so sharply. Lin Wanxin was so shocked by Shen Yafei's words that she almost broke out.
Chen Xi saw Lin Wanxin's face as red as pig's liver, and she was also secretly relieved when she had never quarreled with the world and was calm. On weekdays, she was pressed by Lin Wanxin everywhere in King Ning's Mansion, and she panicked. Now that she can see Lin Wanxin deflated, she feels inexplicably excited. Since marrying into Ning Wangfu, Lin Wanxin has been gentle and virtuous, as if she never fought for anything, but she could get everything she wanted. Chen Xi always felt that Lin Wanxin's back was not so simple, and she was by no means as virtuous as she was in front of her. Therefore, she had the urge to unmask Lin Wanxin.
"Princess and Concubine Lin, please take a seat." Zhang Yuanyuan led Chen Xi and Lin Wanxin to the pavilion and sat down, and then said to Shen Yafei, "Lord Minyi, please also take a seat." ”
Shen Yafei sat down opposite Chen Xi unceremoniously, and when she sat down, she happened to see Zhang Yuanyuan drink the tea poured by the maid, Shen Yafei saw her familiar eyes on that unfamiliar face, and Shen Yafei smiled.
"Princess, Concubine Lin, there is still some time to leave the banquet, you can rest here now. When the feast is served, the courtiers will lead you there. Zhang Yuanyuan said respectfully. King Ning is the younger brother of the prince's only mother, and the prince will inherit the throne in the future, and King Ning will be the most valuable prince in the Celestial Empire, so Zhang Yuanyuan must be sincere and respectful to these two.
"It doesn't matter, if Miss Zhang has something, let's go and get busy first." Chen Xi happened to see the maid who came to call Zhang Yuanyuan waiting for her anxiously.
Zhang Yuanyuan had Princess Ning's words, and left with peace of mind, Shen Yafei looked at her back and left in a hurry, and smiled meaningfully. The daughters present were chatting intimately with their best friends around them, and Chen Xi and Lin Wanxin were also talking one after another. Only Shen Yafei sat alone, she didn't know anyone with anyone here, she sat alone, and she didn't want to join them.
It didn't take long for the people of the Shen family to arrive, and compared to the restraint of Mrs. Shen and Shen Yaru, Shen Yafei saw that they were all like strangers, and there was no discomfort in her eyes. People who originally wanted to watch the play couldn't help but be disappointed, they originally thought that Shen Yafei was the first to hold back, but they didn't expect that she was the calmest person, it seems that they can't watch the Shen family's jokes anymore.
After a while, the banquet opened as scheduled, all the guests took their seats, and the host of the Zhang family also sat down, but Zhang Yuanyuan was nowhere to be seen.
At this time, a little guy hurriedly walked in and whispered a few words close to Hou Ye Zhang, and Hou Ye Zhang's face suddenly darkened. At the same time, a grandmother also whispered a few words in Mrs. Zhang's ear, and Mrs. Zhang's face was as black as if it had been dyed with ink.
"I'm sorry, there is a small problem with the chef preparing the banquet in the kitchen of the old man's house, we need to deal with it, please feel free. We're lazy, everyone! Hou Ye Zhang's wooden old face quickly returned to normal.
There is a problem with the chef who prepares the banquet, which is indeed a very serious matter, and the guests can understand it. But you don't need the most important person in the main family to see it, just send Zhang Shizi or the princess to deal with it. Why did the old marquis and the old lady follow.
Except for the youngest Zhang Yuanquan, who was left at the scene to appease the guests, everyone else left the table in a hurry with anxious faces. Let the ladies of the capital who have nothing to do on weekdays be full of curiosity.
In a room in the inner courtyard of the Zhang family, Zhang Yuanyuan lay weakly in the arms of her personal maid, sobbing incessantly. Concubine Zhang Liu Liyun had a clear view of the marks on her neck exposed outside the collar, and as a person who had come over, she knew very well what this meant.
"Yuanyuan?" Liu Liyun felt a little dizzy in her head, "No, no~"
"Mother~" Zhang Yuanyuan was about to collapse because of the boundless crying. Liu Liyun's shaking body was fortunately supported by the maid next to her in time to avoid falling.
"What the hell is going on?" In this case, Marquis Zhang was not suitable to speak, and when she saw the ambiguous marks on Zhang Yuanyuan's body and the gluttony on He Shengren's face, Mrs. Zhang roared angrily.
Zhang Yuanyuan still sobbed in a low voice, but this time it was changed to Liu Liyun's arms, "Grandma, you have to make decisions for your granddaughter!" ”
He Shengren looked at Zhang Yuanyuan's body trembling with sobbing, as if he could still feel the touch on his hand. The rich daughter's skin was much more delicate and soft than that of the women he had taken captive from other places. Because Zhang Yuanyuan was his friend's own sister, he wanted to maintain the phenomenon in front of people, and he never had inappropriate thoughts about her. It feels pretty good to be with her today! Besides, Zhang Yuanyuan is actually quite good-looking, He Shengren doesn't mind marrying her!
Zhang Yuanyuan's maid intermittently told the masters what happened between Zhang Yuanyuan and He Shengren.
"Gongzi He, how can you do such a thing? I ask myself, our Zhang Mansion has always been kind to you, and Yuan Quan is still your good friend. How can you ······" Liu Liyun was so angry that she couldn't finish her words. Yuan Yuan is her only daughter, she has given her the best things since she was a child, and invited many famous teachers to teach her, just to find her a noble man in the capital to be her husband. Now, her daughter, who had high hopes, has been ruined by a playboy. It would be nice to say if He Shengren's status was more noble, but in the capital, a place full of palace nobles, the He family is nothing, how can Liu Liyun be willing!
Actually, He Shengren didn't know what happened to him at that time, anyway, from the first time he saw Zhang Yuanyuan today, he felt that she was very moving, he had never felt like this from her before, which made him unable to control the evil fire in his heart. Besides, he has been abstinent for almost a month, he can't stand it anymore, and when he sees a woman with a charming smell all over his body, he doesn't want to control himself no matter what the occasion!
"I'm sorry, I'll take care of it!"
Zhang Yuanyuan heard He Shengren's words, her eyes were also a little dodgy, when she was with He Shengren just now, she was actually conscious, today she always felt that He Shengren had a special charm that attracted her, and she was a little fascinated at that time. Of course, she would never let the second person know about it. She can only pretend to be a woman who has been ruined by men, ashamed and heartbroken.
"Of course, your He family must give our family an explanation!" Marquis Zhang's old face burned with anger. His old Zhang family was not prosperous in the first place, and it has always been a single generation, and it is even more so in his son's generation, and even his daughter is only one. No matter how many concubines he marries, how many maids he has taken in, there is still nothing. Therefore, Zhang Houye's love for Zhang Yuanyuan is no less than that for Zhang Yuanquan. In this situation in his favorite granddaughter, Marquis Zhang really couldn't accept it, and he didn't plan to let go of the He family easily.
Especially when he heard that He Shengren was completely sober and behaved badly towards Zhang Yuanyuan, Zhang Houye's anger rushed directly from the bottom of his heart to the top of his head.
He Shengren knew that he was at a loss, so he had to face the anger of Marquis Zhang's family. Normally, he would never let himself be wronged, but now that he is on someone else's territory, he has to bow his head.
"Son? What's going on? Mrs. He was invited over by the Zhang family's little servant, and when she saw the look on her son's face and the traces on Zhang Yuanyuan's body, she immediately guessed what was going on here.
"Mrs. Zhang, your son behaved badly to my Zhang family's daughter at our house, how do you say this matter should be handled?" Old Madam Zhang's angry voice came.
Although the official position of the He family is still okay, it is still a bit far from the Zhang family's hundreds of years of wealth and wealth. Besides, his son's reputation in the capital is not very good, and it is not so easy to find a girl with a good status. If only the eldest lady of the Zhang family could marry her son······ That's the best thing to do.
