050 Take the initiative
a?????? Although Princess Jin didn't want to see Shen Ruolan, she was still very concerned about Ruotang's request for her.
After the flower viewing banquet in Duanwangfu, just two days later, she came to Ruotang again.
"Didn't you ask me to help you keep an eye on good men last time? I've had a letter in the past two days, and I've come to tell you about it. "Princess Jin didn't waste time at all. told Ruotang about almost everyone she liked.
In all fairness, Princess Jin is Shen Ruolan's family, which is very good.
After Princess Jin finished speaking, after leaving the person Ruotang wanted, she left in a hurry.
After Princess Jin left, Ruotang asked Cai Qing to clean up for her, boarded the carriage and went to the Shen Mansion.
It has always been Shen Ruolan who calculates her, but this time, she has to take the initiative instead.
Ruotang's psychology at this time is a little complicated, she is excited to look forward to the next battle, but deep down she is inexplicably resistant, she always feels that she will never have a peaceful life after being involved in this turmoil. But she also knew very well in her heart that if Shen Ruolan didn't give up on her dowry, she would hurt her again and again without any pressure.
In fact, this situation has made it impossible for her to back down. Because Shen Ruolan's purpose has always been clear, that is her life.
Since it was useless to retreat, Ruotang had no choice but to face the attack.
Ruotang felt that there were some stimulant-like factors in her blood that stimulated her, making her high-spirited and shining.
……
For Ruotang's arrival, everyone in the Shen Mansion was very surprised.
Because there was no prior notice. Shen Anbang got the news and had no time to hide, so Ruotang's carriage drove directly to the second gate.
Shen Anbang lost his adult in front of Chu Qianlan last time, and he already hated Ruotang to the core, so how could he come out to greet her. The oldest and most noble old lady of the Shen family still avoided it under the pretext of being uncomfortable. It's one thing that no one in the second and third rooms is still the princess of her, probably they are all thinking, how to do it, how long has it been. Why hasn't King Xiang killed her yet? Such a group of people naturally avoid her like a snake and scorpion.
Therefore, even if Ruotang put on the princess's clothes and used the princess's carriage, there was no one at the second gate except for Shen Ruolan's mother and daughter.
The grandmother in the car glared, "Lord Shen's family is really a big rule, the princess drove away, and she didn't even have a welcoming ceremony, did she not put the princess in her eyes, or did she not put the royal rules in her eyes?" ”
Shen Ruolan and Mrs. Shen were stunned and raised their eyes. I saw a woman in her forties standing beside Ruotang, her sideburns dyed with silver silk were neatly combed, only a silver hairpin was inserted in her hair, and she was wearing a dark blue cardigan robe, standing straight, although she was dressed extremely plainly, she was more dignified and majestic.
Mrs. Shen and Shen Ruolan glanced at each other, and they were a little puzzled by each other, who was the grandmother born in this eye?
The two looked at Ruotang again, although Mrs. Shen also hated Ruotang to the core, she was the head of the Shen Mansion, so she couldn't help but come to meet her. Therefore, I endured my anger and came over, but when I came, I was scolded by an old woman for being presumptuous and unruly, and I was naturally very uncomfortable. But looking at the old woman's posture, she is a little unsure of her origin, if she can't afford to provoke her......
Thinking like this, she looked at Ruotang, hoping that Ruotang could solve her puzzles, but Ruotang just stood there, with a light smile on his lips, and didn't say a word.
She secretly scolded that the little slut must not die well, so she smiled and asked carefully, "I don't know what this grandmother is called?" ”
Ruotang replied softly: "This is Mama Zhao in the palace of Princess Jin, Princess Jin saw that the people serving around me were not effective, so she lent Mama Zhao to me for a while." ”
The fact is that this was borrowed by Ruotang himself from Princess Jin. As soon as she proposed to borrow someone, Princess Jin understood what she meant, and without saying a word, she lent the most majestic Mama Zhao to her. Mama Zhao retired from the palace in her early years, and was later hired into the Pingguo Mansion as the upbringing of Princess Jin, and after Princess Jin married into the palace, Mama Zhao also followed. She is rigorous and majestic, and she is a palace maid who was highly praised by the Queen Mother in the past.
Princess Jin is such a character as soon as she makes a move, which shows that she has made up her mind to support Ruotang's waist.
Hearing the three words of Princess Jin, Shen Ruolan's mother and daughter changed their faces at the same time.
Ruotang held Mama Zhao's hand and looked at Shen Ruolan's face changing again and again with a smile.
Shen Ruolan quickly came back to her senses, and stepped forward with a slight smile to hold Ruotang's arm, but Mama Zhao stepped forward, frowned and asked, "Second Miss Shen, what are you going to do?" "Exhausted.
Shen Ruolan looked frightened and at a loss, and looked at Ruotang with tears in her eyes, "I just want to support my sister, it's getting sunny outside, sister, let's go into the house and talk." ”
Mrs. Shen also ordered the mother-in-law to carry the soft sedan chair over in a timely manner.
"Wait." It was still Mama Zhao who spoke, she had a straight face, and she didn't look close to humanity at all, "The old slave knows that Lord Shen is in the first rank, and he is the mainstay of my Great Chu Dynasty. The old slave has also heard people say that Master Shen's family style is strict, but when he saw it today, he really didn't dare to agree! Since Lord Shen is at home, please also ask your Lord to personally welcome Princess Xiang. Otherwise, the old slave was really worried that he would not be able to control this mouth when he walked out of the gate of the Shen family. ”
Mrs. Shen was busy asking people to inform Shen Anbang to come soon.
Mama Zhao looked around at the maids and ladies present, "I heard that the Shen Mansion is a few houses where people live together, the old slave remembers that the decree of the old lady has not come down yet, right?" ”
This time, even Shen Ruolan was stunned.
This Mama Zhao has such a big breath that she wants the whole house, including the old lady, to come to welcome that little slut!
She gritted her thin teeth and looked at Ruotang timidly: "Sister, you know, grandmother has always been in poor health......
"Mama," Ruotang said to Mama Zhao in a kind manner: "Old lady...... It's better to forget it. ”
"Mother." Mama Zhao turned to her with a respectful but resolute expression: "Ceremony, don't waste it!" ”
She said, without looking at others, and helped Ruotang to walk into the carriage, "Since the Shen Mansion is not ready to pick up the princess's drive, you go back to the car to rest first." ”
Ruotang had no choice but to give Shen Ruolan a look of "love can't help", and was helped back into the carriage by Mama Zhao.
……
Because of Mama Zhao's insistence, after a period of chaos in the Shen Mansion, all the personnel finally arrived.
Ruotang finally had the opportunity to see all the family members of the big family of the Shen Mansion.
Shen Anbang helped the old lady to stand at the front, although the two of them adjusted their mentality, but in the face of Ruotang who got out of the car, the eyebrows of the mother and son jumped at the same time.
But no matter how unwilling they are in their hearts, in the face of Ruotang, they have to salute her first---- she is the concubine of the prince of the son of a serious emperor!
After everyone saluted Ruotang, it was time for Ruotang to salute them.
Mrs. Shen, who was sixty years old but well-maintained, was on a rosewood cane, and said with a smile: "The old body doesn't dare to accept the princess's courtesy, the princess has worked hard all the way, please come in and talk." ”
"Yes, Ancestor." Compared with the resentment of the people in the Shen Mansion, Ruotang has always been very calm.
She even quietly winked at Shen Youhe, who was at the back of the crowd.
This made Mama Zhao, who was originally worried that she would not be able to help her, finally glanced at her appreciatively.
A group of people greeted Ruotang back to the inner courtyard.
Under the pretext that Mrs. Shen was not feeling well, she didn't sit down for a while and then confessed to go back to her yard to recuperate, and Shen Anbang helped her go first.
As soon as Mrs. Shen left, the people in the second and third rooms also left one after another. There is not even a basic greeting, which shows that these people are only superficially succumbing to her identity.
Especially Mrs. Shen's two biological sons, Ruotang's eyes have always looked like they were looking at their father's enemy. was soon sent away by Mrs. Shen, and Shen Youhe didn't want to stay, so he followed the two brothers-in-law. In the end, only Mrs. Shen and Shen Ruolan's mother and son were left to receive Ruotang.
"I don't know why Niangniang suddenly returned to her parents' house this time?" Mrs. Shen glanced at Mama Zhao, who was standing behind Ruotang with an expressionless face, and it took a lot of effort for the boss to squeeze out a respectful smile.
Ruotang sneered in her heart, she really didn't need to remind her that this was her mother's family and she was the water spilled by her married daughter! Speaking of her, she is the imperial concubine, except for the ultimate bosses in the palace, where she can't go sideways, and where is there where she wants to go but can't?
It just depends on whether she wants to go and whether she wants to go!
"My sister lost her family because of my relationship, and I, as a sister, have always been uneasy. Princess Jin is a warm-hearted person, after she learned about it, she took a few young men for her sister, and I came back today to ask for the opinions of Lord Shen and Mrs. Shen and my sister. Ruotang said lightly and lightly said the future intentions, especially explaining that those young men were personally met by Princess Jin.
Shen Ruolan and Mrs. Shen both had expressions like lightning strikes, and Mrs. Shen came back to her senses first and threw a worried glance at Shen Ruolan.
So Ruotang understood that Shen Ruolan had a leg with King Jin, and Mrs. Shen was absolutely aware.
"This is our family's business, how can we trouble Princess Jin?" Mrs. Shen replied.
"Madame has already agreed on someone for her sister?" Ruotang asked with a smile.
"No, no." has just broken off the marriage contract with the Xie family before, and if the news of the agreement with another family comes out immediately, the image of his daughter's victim will be greatly reduced. What's more, they already have their favorite candidates, just waiting for ......
Mrs. Shen was on pins and needles at this time, she was worried that the matter between Shen Ruolan and King Jin had been known to Princess Jin, and Princess Jin's media protection was fake, but in fact she wanted to retaliate against Shen Ruolan.
"Since there isn't, it's easy to say." Ruotang breathed a sigh of relief, "I'll tell my wife and sister about the situation of these families first---- the third son of the Governor Fu is nineteen years old, talented and beautiful, and has entered the Hanlin Academy at a young age, Lord Shen went out from Hanlin, but I think the future of this Fu San Prince is also limitless." ”
Mrs. Shen's eyes flashed slightly, and the vigilant look on her face relaxed, it was obvious that she also knew that this Fusan Gongzi was a rare and good candidate for a good son-in-law.
Shen Ruolan lowered her head and lowered her eyebrows, pursed her lips and was expressionless.
"The son of the official Shangshu Zuo, the same age as his sister, although he has not yet ended, but who in the capital does not know that he is amazing? There is also the eldest son of Zhou Yushi of the Inspectorate, who is older than his sister, because he insisted on not marrying before becoming famous, which has been delayed until now. What does Madame think of these families of Princess Jin? ”
It's all good, but which one is as good as King Jin? Even if it's just a side concubine, it's also a concubine room with status and fame who can go to the jade!
"Princess Jin's kindness, we understand it." Mrs. Shen pursed her lips and said with some embarrassment: "It's just that our family has just quit the Xie family, and we will discuss marriage again, which will inevitably hinder your sister's reputation." Let's talk about it later. ”
Ruotang glanced at Mama Zhao as if unintentionally, "Madame is worried about what others are saying?" In fact, madam, you are too worried, Princess Jin personally protects the media, who dares to make irresponsible remarks? ”
"This is the ...... Still inappropriate. Mrs. Shen excused herself again.
Mama Zhao took a step forward and looked at Mrs. Shen with a pair of sharp eyes, "I don't know if what Mrs. Shen is saying is inappropriate, does it mean that Princess Jin and you are not appropriate, or that these sons of Princess Jin are inappropriate?" ”
Mrs. Shen complained bitterly, and hurriedly said: "No, it's just that this matter is too sudden, and I have to discuss it with our master before I can reply to Princess Jin." ”
Ruotang didn't understand her procrastination, so he smiled and said, "Then you can discuss it with Lord Shen, Lord Shen is at home today, and there is nothing to do in my house, if you are not in a hurry, you can discuss it slowly." ”
Mrs. Shen was speechless, but Shen Ruolan suddenly raised her head.
Her face was calm, this time she didn't sacrifice the killer of the White Lotus, she looked at Ruotang's eyes, cold and hateful.
Ruotang was also very calm, "What, my sister seems to have an opinion?" ”
She pretended to be Ruotang and accompanied her to pretend, she didn't pretend, and Ruotang didn't bother to pretend anymore.
She and Shen Ruolan, it's only a matter of time before she tears her face, sooner or later, it makes no difference to her, it just depends on whether she is happy to play with her.
Ruotang sighed in her heart, in fact, she was really a lazy person, if she had to do it, she wouldn't be too lazy to deal with them.
"I just want to ask my sister one question," Shen Ruolan said, "Help me look at other people's affairs, is it what you mean, or what Princess Jin means?" ”
"I didn't say it just now, because I feel sorry for my sister, after Princess Jin learned about it, she enthusiastically wanted to protect her sister from the media. This...... I can't figure out whether it should be my meaning or the meaning of Princess Jin. Why does my sister care about this, no matter who it means, it's for your own good. "Ruotang is still smiling." Of course, if you really don't want to, then I, as a sister, won't force you, so I'll go to Princess Jin to talk back. ”
Before Mrs. Shen could speak, Shen Ruolan had already preemptively said, "I don't want to, my sister thanked Princess Jin for me." ”
Mrs. Shen was startled, and hurriedly pulled Shen Ruolan's hand, and quickly glanced at Mama Zhao, who was looking straight at Shen Ruolan, and said with a smile: "She is talking nonsense, Sister Tang, you must not be like him, this girl's family affairs, how can she have room for beak---- Sister Lan, you still don't go back to your room." ”
Shen Ruolan lowered her eyes, hid the frightening ruthlessness that flashed in her eyes, got up and replied, "Yes." Niangniang, the little girl stepped back first. ”
Ruotang stabbed her in the chest without mercy, "My sister should rest well and take care of her body in order to be the most beautiful bride." ”
Shen Ruolan's long eyelashes trembled slightly.
She didn't say anything more, turned and walked out.
"Niangniang has worked hard all the way, why don't you go back to your former yard to rest first?"
"Madame, are you planning to discuss with Lord Shen?" Ruotang's eyes exploded as if out of pure curiosity.
“…… Well. "Mrs. Shen just wants to quickly sweep Ruotang in front of her out of the house, as early as the last time Ruotang deceived them with fake blood made of unknown things, and teamed up with King Xiang to forcibly take her away as her own dowry, Mrs. Shen no longer dared to underestimate her.
Through these two things, she also understood that Ruotang is very good at borrowing the power of others to achieve her own goals, and last time she borrowed the power of King Xiang, and this time, she came under the banner of Princess Jin.
Whether it is the King of Xiang or the Princess of Jin, they can't afford to mess with them.
"It's been a long time since I've had a good conversation with Lord Shen, so let's go with my wife." Ruotang spoke softly, as if he was not at all aggressive.
"This ......," Madame Shen frowned.
Ruotang just didn't see it, and Mama Zhao asked directly, "Is there any difficulty for Mrs. Shen?" ”
Mrs. Shen had to grit her teeth and say, "No." ”
Only then did he take Ruotang to the study to find Shen Anbang to talk.
When Shen Anbang saw Ruotang, his swishing eyes and knife hated to pierce her into a sieve.
Since the last time he was humiliated by the King of Xiang, Shen Anbang regretted it day and night, regretting that he didn't strangle her when the evil obstacle was just born!
"I don't know why the princess is looking for an old man?" Shen Anbang snorted coldly and spoke.
Ruotang said with a smile: "Actually, Mrs. has something to say to Lord Shen, I just haven't seen Lord Shen for a long time, and I just want to come over and take a good look at you." ”
As she spoke, she opened her eyes wider, ready to take a good look at Lord Shen's angry appearance.
Shen Anbang really wanted to win the crown, but Mama Zhao was there, and he still cared about his image very much, so he glared at Ruotang fiercely and ignored her.
It's just that the feeling of being stared at seriously like a nail by her made him angry again. It's not good to get angry with her, so he aimed the gun at Mrs. Shen, "I didn't see that I'm busy here, what's the important thing to say now?" ”
The "innocent" Mrs. Shen opened her mouth aggrievedly and told Ruotang's intentions.
After listening to this, Shen Anbang paused as he stroked his beard, and looked at Ruotang: "Princess Jin personally protects the media?" ”
"Yes."
Shen Anbang's eyes were even more suspicious, "You have such a good heart, anxious for your sister?" ”
The sons and daughters of these families are very good, and since the emperor vaguely warned him not to get too close to the king of Jin, he extinguished the idea of marrying Shen Ruolan to the palace of the king of Jin. Shen Ruolan is his beloved daughter, although he can't enter the Jin Palace, he doesn't plan to wronged her, and he is bound to pick a good family affair for her. And the third son of the Fu family, he is extremely satisfied.
But satisfaction is satisfaction, and if this evil obstacle is used to trap his daughter with other schemes, he has to guard against it.
Ruotang sighed, he wanted to pretend to be in front of Shen Anbang, but he was afraid that he would remember the last time she pretended to vomit blood, so he didn't bother to pretend, "I caused my sister to lose her family, and I want to make up for it, it's as simple as that, if Lord Shen doesn't believe it, then forget it." ”
