Chapter 88: Gift-giving
Shen Qingqing had never been involved with anyone in his previous life, only that fiancΓ©.
The young man who solved the sixteen chess games had an innocent family background, although he was not an official in the court, but he was also born in a family. There were heroes in the ancestors of that family, and Shen Qingqing was not very wronged when he got married, so this family affair was naturally counted.
Later, the Gu Mansion rose to prominence because of her, and the ministers of the DPRK and China joined forces to put pressure on the neutral Governor Shen and framed him, resulting in Governor Shen being stripped of his official position and placed under house arrest. Shen Qingqing was worried about Governor Shen and went to Baiyuan Temple to pray for blessings, but he didn't want to be robbed by bandits in the middle of the night, so Shen Qingqing was robbed to be the wife of the village.
The government was also very fast, and what happened in the morning was wiped out by noon.
Shen Qingqing was rescued safely, and he never lost himself to the bandits. It's just that the news from someone in Yangzhou doesn't know that Shen Qingqing has long been ruined and not innocent.
The rumors spread more and more, and the defeated Shen Mansion couldn't hold it down. At this time, Shen Qingqing's fiancΓ©'s family also sent someone to the door to withdraw from the family, using the reason that the name was lost.
Shen Qingqing hanged himself in the room on the third day of his retirement.
When the news came....Sixth Highness Shen Xian was far away from the frontier with His Royal Highness King Xiao. At that time, she didn't have a deep friendship with Shen Qingqing, and when something happened to the Shen family, she was so busy that she had no time to take care of it. Later, when I learned that I wanted to pull a hand, I heard that Shen Qingqing had already gone.
She had asked people to check on the affairs of Shen Qingqing and the Shen family afterwards, but she never knew that Shen Qingqing and Shen Xian still had such a relationship. After marrying the crown prince, she had seen Shen Xian a few times, and she always showed that the prince who was not serious showed that he didn't care about anyone.
But I don't want to....Shen Xian admires Shen Qingqing?
The fingertips gently rubbed the porcelain cup pattern, and the eyes fell on the two people who were drinking not far away, and some complicated emotions were fleeting. Retracting his gaze, Gu Mingxiu lowered his eyes and pondered, and there was a bit of indescribable meaning brewing in his eyes.
Gu Mingxiu couldn't drink tea, and when Shen Huai poured tea, he only poured tea for himself, and he didn't plan to give it to Gu Mingxiu at all, and now the little girl felt an empty cup in her hand.
Shen Huai finished drinking a cup of tea slowly, and was not in a hurry to put the teacup down, he simply took the small cup in his hand and played with it, and asked casually: "It's normal for you to be surprised, the Shen family is quite trusted by the imperial brother, and when Shen Qingqing was friendly with Shen Xian in the past, not many people knew about it except for a few princes." They don't care if they break off their friendship, and in the family of the Son of Heaven, there is no long-term friendship relationship, and they are either trusting people or enemies. β
The last sentence is quite meaningful.
Gu Mingxiu didn't think deeply: "Shen Xian should still be-"
She paused, shaking her head speechless.
Shen Xian should still be in love with Shen Qingqing now, with such a twisted attitude. Others may not be able to see it clearly, but Gu Mingxiu instantly understood it clearly, and there were some mixed tastes in his heart.
In the previous life, when Shen Xian left with King Xiao, it was when Shen Qingqing was married, and not long after Shen Qingqing's death, Shen Xian came back alone, but it was more romantic than before.
But until she died, Shen Xian never married.
Quietly taking in the changes in Gu Mingxiu's eyes, Shen Huai still looked lazy and lazy on his face, and there was a slight imperceptible chill and confusion in his eyes. The confusion only surfaced for a moment, then quickly dissipated, and turned into a bit of inquiry, as if to uncover her secret and find out.
"You know, right." Gu Mingxiu suddenly raised his eyes to look at Shen Huai, but his words were a little inexplicable.
Such brainless words made Shen Huai laugh lightly and nodded casually: "Well, I always knew. He put down the porcelain cup, tapped the table, and pointed, "It's just that there are some things that we can't interfere with." How they are, that's their choice, I don't have that much to spare. β
Shen Huai really knew Shen Xian's thoughts.
Gu Mingxiu's eyes were slightly gloomy, and his tone was a little cold: "Yes." β
However, she didn't hold it for long, and the young man in front of her straightened up and suddenly leaned towards her, his eyes were cold and gloomy, and his starry eyes were bright, and he was smiling seductively. Gu Mingxiu inexplicably had a little intention of hiding, and when he thought about it, he subconsciously leaned back, propped his hands on his side, and his back against the wall.
Shen Huai was very close to her.
The young man smiled faintly, and quickly retreated, and the smile in his eyes disappeared a lot. He leaned back and lazily asked her, "Where's my thank-you gift?" β
He asked people to take it back, and she really took it back, little without conscience.
The topic changed too quickly, and Gu Mingxiu was a little inexplicable. However, she just blinked her eyes and sat up straight, her expression faint without the slightest effect: "In the carriage, I will ask Mozhu to send it to you in a while." β
"You really have it?" Shen Huai raised his eyebrows.
Gu Mingxiu said: "His Royal Highness King Xiao has no shadow when he comes down, and the courtiers don't know when they will meet, so if they take it with them, they will just give it to His Highness in person when they see it." She smiled slightly, meaningful, "Lest King Xiao dislike his courtiers and be insincere, and never give them away with his own hands." β
Shen Huai's eyes were pale and he also smiled slightly.
There was no Shen Qingqing in the second half of the chess fight.
Shen Xian forcibly stopped Shen Qingqing from drinking, and he was drunk and sent to the room where Yilan Garden rested, and Ning Fei was also a little drunk. Shen Qingqing was upset in her heart, hated Shen Xian very much but didn't bother to take care of him, so she simply told Gu Mingxiu to let Ning Fei go away, and she also went back to Shen Mansion.
This made Gu Mingxiu breathe a sigh of relief.
Mo Zhu didn't speak when he came, and when everyone in the room retreated, he stepped forward in surprise: "Girl, what's wrong with your bun?" Yes... I also lost a step shake. β
"I accidentally fell, I probably lost it." Gu Mingxiu said, "It's okay, just tidy it up a little." β
The little one who walked Gu Mingxiu would occasionally wear a hairpin in the courtyard, but he almost didn't wear it to see people. Now that it's gone, no one can recognize it as her, so it doesn't matter if it's lost, I'm not afraid of being picked up by someone with a heart to make a difference.
Mo Zhu blessed his body: "Yes." β
Gu Mingxiu let her fiddle with it, and thought about it again: "You can take the brocade box in the carriage in a while, and if you send it here, someone will come to pick it up." β
There was only one brocade box in the carriage, which was a thank you gift to His Royal Highness King Xiao. Mo Zhu had some doubts in her heart, she hadn't met King Xiao or King Xiao's people just now, how could someone come to pick it up if she put it here? Could it be that the girl has already met His Royal Highness King Xiao?
The subordinates neatly pulled up their hair buns, and Mo Zhu replied: "The slave and maid know." β
When she came to deliver the brocade box, she saw a tall young man in the room.
The young man was good, with a happy smile on his face, and at first glance he was a very easy and enthusiastic person. Thinking like this, Mo Zhu approached to meet the young man's eager and scorching gazeβshe felt that this person was probably sick.
Mo Zhu avoided the other party's gaze, and the smile on his face did not leak: "This is my girl who asked me to send it." β
"Okay, okay." Luo Feng looked at his future young lady's maid kindly, and was very satisfied in his heart, "Girl, you-"
"The girl is still waiting for me downstairs, and I won't bother when the things are delivered." When Mo Zhu saw him take the brocade box, he smiled and blessed his body, then turned around and walked out quickly.
Luo Feng: "......."
Banxia, who came out, pointed and pointed: "Let you look like this, it scares people." She sighed and shouted back, "Master, Luo Feng is too stupid, it's time for someone to change the position of the leader of the Shadow Guard." β
The person who came out from behind the screen glanced at her faintly, took the brocade box and opened it.
The objects inside fell into his eyes, and Shen Huai's movements paused, and the deep meaning under his eyes was a little probing.
Luo Feng and Banxia stepped forward to take a look.
Inside the brocade box lies a delicate dagger, and the material is of the highest quality at a glance.
Luo Feng opened his mouth wide: "Lord, master, isn't this your dagger?" β
The casual sentence of Red Sleeves a few days ago came to mind, "By the way, I sold the master's dagger to Miss Gu." With a somewhat gloating smile on his face, Banxia coughed: "What, master, some time ago, your dagger fell in Yilan Garden, and the people at the bottom forgot to put it away, and Miss Gu took a look at it, and the red sleeves were sold." β
Shen Huai glanced at her coldly: "You are getting bolder and bolder." β
Banxia met his gaze, and the smile on his face narrowed a little.
Luo Feng played a round game: "Miss Gu bought the master's dagger and gave it to the master, which can be regarded as very fateful, you see," he pointed to the dagger in the brocade box, and said with a heartbeat, "After turning around, it still returned to the master's hand, this is not fate." β
With a sneer, Shen Huai spoke: "How much did you sell it?" β
Touching his nose, Banxia's gaze began to wander: "Miss Gu doesn't have much silver on her, so the red sleeves didn't collect money, it was....directly given to Miss Gu." She cautiously observed Shen Huai's gaze, "Master, it's a heart.....
Shen Huai glanced at her expressionlessly.
The brocade box in his hand, he closed the brocade box with a "snap", and put it on the table casually, with a sneer on his handsome face, and looked quite infiltrating: "You sold my things without collecting a penny, you are very good." β
That little girl is also very good, and dared to buy his dagger for him-
Still didn't spend a penny.
Shen Huai naturally knew how good his things were, but he didn't believe that Gu Mingxiu's ability to look at weapons was so good. At this moment, I feel a little confused inexplicably, and I can't cry or laugh for a while.
beckoned, Shen Huai said: "You go and talk to Gu Mingxiu, this king is not satisfied, she doesn't bother to pick what this king doesn't like, let her choose again!" β
Luo Feng quickly brought the words to Gu Mingxiu, who had not yet returned to the General's Mansion, and quickly brought back Gu Mingxiu's reply, just one word.
Gu Mingxiu had a calm face and laughed extremely coldly.
She said, "Get out." β
