Chapter 490: Lantern Festival
"You, what did you say?"
Can't do it?
Shen Junru lowered her eyes slightly, looking at her meek and respectful appearance, but in fact, she maintained her little pride and dignity, and never bowed her head when she shouldn't!
"Father is right, a family, the knife can not be against their own family, if there is a foreign enemy attack, the court civil and military adults can unanimously defend against the enemy. At such a time, the Shen family will naturally unite and fight against foreign enemies together. But if your daughter wants to bow her head to the bullying and humiliation of others because of this, over time, anyone can come and step on it, where is the majesty of her daughter? Where is the dignity? Today, if it weren't for the second sister's disrespectful remarks, it would insult me and my third sister's mother first, and then provoke the relationship between me and my third sister. My mother treated my aunt and her third sister harshly when she was alive, and if you heard that, father, how would you feel? ”
Shen Shangshu was slightly stunned, and in the face of Shen Junru's words, he was speechless for a while!
Shen Yitian is still young, and when he said such things in front of Shen Junru and Shen Shisi, it is not difficult to think what the second uncle and second lady of Shen said in front of Shen Yitian on weekdays!
"Did she really say that?"
"Daughters don't dare to expire their fathers."
"Daddy, what Sister said is true, it's all her daughter's fault, I really can't bear it, so I had a quarrel with my second sister, which affected my sister..."
Shen Shisi bit her lip. petals, bean-sized tears are also smashed down.
Isn't what Shen Shangshu is most afraid of this woman's tears?
There was a cramp in my heart and I was helpless, and I said sadly.
"Yo, alas... Why didn't you say it earlier? ”
"The daughter doesn't want to embarrass her father, and this morning, the second aunt pouted her father inside and out, and that's it, there should indeed be a housewife in the house, but the second aunt just wants to stuff her cousin into the house. Not to mention the identity gap, according to her daughter, the second aunt's hand is too far. ”
Shen Shangshu also knew these things in his heart.
Even if he wants to continue the string, it is impossible to continue the cousin of the second lady Shen's family, not to mention his family background, he is still a widow.
Although he Shen Qiong is not young, his identity is here, even if he is marrying a son of a good family, why should he marry a widow?
Doesn't that mean stuffing the backyard of your house into the second lady Shen's mother's house?
She can fight with her abacus, and no one else is a fool.
Shen Shangshu waved his hand and said.
"As for the continuation of the string, I have my own considerations, and I will not listen to what your second aunt says. You two... Alas, that's it, this punishment is not for you to suffer in vain, eat a trench, you can always grow wise. It's late at night, so let's go back and rest. ”
Shen Junru and Shen Shisi didn't say anything more, they were slightly blessed, and limped away.
As soon as the two of them returned to the courtyard, Shen Shangshu sent someone to bring the ointment.
Under the dim candle flame, Shen Junru lifted her trouser legs, soaked her jade feet in hot water, and softened the jade-like plaster by Dongmei, and gently kneaded it on her knees.
"Yo, it's all red and swollen, Miss, you're really sincere, where are those people watching all the time? You're also lazy, so why bother kneeling all the time. ”
Dongmei looked distressed, rubbing the plaster while reading it in pieces.
Shen Junru didn't seem to hear it, and she was distracted.
Calculate the footsteps, in the past few days, the King of Qin and his entourage have gone all the way to the south, and they should have been out of Liuzhou at this moment.
I don't know, he's okay along the way...
"Miss, you are tired today, the slave maid will wait for you to rest early."
"Okay."
Qiao Yile responded, and Dongmei wiped the water off her feet with a handkerchief, cleaned up a little and went to bed.
Winter goes to spring, snow falls to find plums, and the days after the New Year pass quickly.
In a blink of an eye, the 15th Lantern Festival is approaching.
On the day of the Great Qian, every household, the streets and alleys must be hung with colored lanterns, the people of the Great Dry are relatively open, and women do not have to be confined to the house all the time on weekdays.
And on this day, it is a good day for lovers to meet.
At night, the lanterns are hung in the streets and alleys, guessing lantern riddles, lighting fireworks, selling all kinds of sweets, jewelry, dolls, pairs, lanterns, all kinds of things.
A banquet was held in the palace, and hundreds of civil and military officials were invited to the palace with their families.
Shen Junru is not overly filial piety, and she doesn't want to meet those ladies in the palace, the queen treats her dissatisfied, because she has cooperated with Concubine De, Concubine De will be Shen Junru is her person, the queen and Concubine De have been fighting in the palace for many years, if the queen knows about the delicate relationship between herself and Concubine De, I am afraid that she will be implicated again.
As for Shen Xiangning, she didn't want to pay attention to it, she was punished for arguing with Shen Yitian before, if she met her again in the palace, she would have some contradictions, trembling, so it wouldn't be annoying.
He simply used this excuse to resign.
"The palace is very restrained, although the lanterns are prosperous, the dim sum is exquisite, but after all, it is uncomfortable, which is more than this bustling bazaar, people come and go, and it is very lively."
Shen Junru dressed up a little, wore a goose-yellow tunic Su embroidered Luo skirt, and put her hair in a simple bun, because the scratches on her face had not yet healed, she covered most of her face with a light veil.
Behind him, there was a vote, except for Shen Shisi and Dongmei, which of those girls could live idly in the mansion?
Shen Yu originally wanted to follow, but was pulled away by Lin Liangsheng, saying that he wanted to win the most beautiful lantern on this street to send the beauty.
"Slave maid understands, miss, you said this to take a few of us out to play, right? Not everyone can enter that palace. ”
"As long as you talk a lot, can't it be that your young lady really doesn't want to enter the palace?"
was talking to Dongmei, when suddenly a person flashed in front of him, blocking the way of several people.
The man wore a monkey mask and covered his entire face.
Shen Junru went to the right, she followed to the right, to the left, and then to the left.
It's a scoundrel!
"Dongmei, reward."
The monkey face waved his hand and cleared his throat, as if he was deliberately muffled, so that his voice sounded a little rougher, and said.
"Young Master Ben doesn't want to reward money, Young Master Ben just needs you, a beautiful girl, to accompany Young Master Ben... Not... Shop for lanterns! ”
As soon as the man spoke, Shen Junru was slightly stunned, and then chuckled quietly.
Yingxing Yingyue, who was guarding on his side, was unceremonious, and then the unsheathed long sword was against the monkey's chest. Before, whispered.
"Where did the thief come from, in front of the public, he is too bold!"
"Yingxing, there are a lot of people here, don't hurt others by mistake, put away the sword, as for this frivolous person, hmm... dragged her to the dark alley and taught her a lesson. ”
