Chapter 17: Madness

Autumn is crisp, and the clouds are at their highest this season, right? Under the blue sky and white clouds, Shen Shu was lying on the recliner in the yard eating grapes, and the legs of Erlang were still shaking from time to time.

Yurun brought the monthly silver from outside, and when she saw Shen Shu's appearance, she couldn't help but be startled. hurriedly ran over and whispered, "Miss, you must not be like this, being seen by Mama Kong is to be taught a lesson." There is still half a month left, and I will enter the palace to participate in the draft. ”

Shen Shu was disturbed eating grapes, and her mood was a little unhappy. "Yurun, don't worry! Mama Kong won't come over. ”

Yuzhuo walked out of the room, "Yurun, have you received this month's monthly silver?" ”

"Got it." Yurun's face was embarrassed.

"What's wrong? Still not happy to receive the money? Seeing that her face was wrong, Yu Zhuo asked.

"The person in charge said that our second lady will enter the palace to participate in the draft in the middle of this month, and when she enters the palace in the future, she will be a mother, and she is the one who wants to lead the emperor's voice, so she still cares about this little money from the Shen Mansion, so she only gave half a month's monthly silver." Yurun said with a look of grievance, but in his tone, he was full of anger.

Yuzhuo is a cannon temper, and when he heard Yurun say this, he roared directly, "Then you didn't argue?" Let them be bullied for nothing? ”

"I argued, but I couldn't argue with them."

"I'll go to them." Yu Zhuo snatched the purse from Yu Run's hand and was about to argue.

was stopped by Shen Shu, "It's useless to go, this is what Madame meant." ”

Yuzhuo really stopped, she was still afraid of Madame. "So what are we going to do? Do you just let them bully like this? ”

"What's the hurry?" Shen Shu changed her posture and continued to eat grapes.

"They are right, the monthly silver is just a small amount of money. It's not worth anything. Since Madame is reluctant to pay the monthly money, then I will let her know what real pain is. Shen Shu swore a promise.

Yuzhuo's eyes lit up, "Miss, do you have an idea?" ”

Shen Shu turned over and lay on her side, "Yurun, you go and help me get a cloak, the weather is good today, I want to take a nap." ”

Yurun was a little unsure, but he still respectfully obeyed the instructions.

Yuzhuo looked like he hated iron but not steel, "Miss, why are you still in the mood to sleep?" ”

"After dinner, you can accompany me to my father's." Shen Shu said again.

Yu Zhuo was stunned for a moment, then came to his senses and said with a smile, "Yes, Miss." ”

Autumn chrysanthemum, pine and cypress. In autumn, there are all kinds of flowers, only chrysanthemums, yellow, white, and purple-red, all bloom brilliantly. And in the Tanglin Palace, I heard that there are rare green chrysanthemums.

People who can appreciate the green chrysanthemum are all nobles in the palace, but Shen Shu is not rare, once upon a time in the Western Chu Kingdom, in her bedroom, there are all kinds of rare treasures, everything, naturally there is no shortage of those rare and exotic grasses.

Under the pines and cypresses, lie on a soft couch, sleep a beauty on the couch, the beauty is picturesque, more delicate than the cluster of chrysanthemums next to it.

Shen Shu actually didn't feel sleepy, she just fell in love with this rare feeling of leisure. It's rare to enjoy the breeze on this autumn day.

After dinner, Yuzhuo reminded on the side, "Miss, should we go to the master's place?" ”

Shen Shu smiled knowingly, "You're even more anxious than me." ”

Yuzhuo pouted, "Miss herself is not in a hurry, so can I not think about it for Miss?" After all, the cost of entering the palace in the future will definitely be indispensable. ”

Shen Shu shook her head, "Although you think long-term, your starting point is wrong. ”

"What's the starting point?" Yu Zhuo was puzzled.

"The money spent in the palace is like flowing water. And these monthly cases of silver are only how much money there is. Even if they are all accumulated, how much is there? ”

"But something is better than nothing!" Yuzhuo still retorted.

"So! We can't save money by throttling, we have to take a long-term view, and we must know how to open source. ”

Saying that, Shen Shu stood up neatly, "Let's go, accompany me to ask my father for silver." ”

Master Shen would stay in the study after dinner on weekdays, and when he had to rest, he would go to the backyard, or to his wife, or to his aunt.

"I want to see my father." Shen Shu said to the little maid at the door of the study.

After the little girl returned, let the second lady in.

As soon as Shen Shu entered the door, he found that Master Shen was looking down and reading a book, without even raising his head.

"Father." She called softly.

Only then did Master Shen raise his head, "Shu'er, what's the matter?" ”

"The daughter is here to confess to her father, the daughter has the favor of her father, but she can't serve the left and right, the daughter is about to enter the palace, and since then the deep palace has been long, and the daughter suddenly feels helpless, so not sad." Shen Shu said pitifully.

Master Shen also showed sadness on his face, after all, he still owed too much to this daughter.

"Shu'er, since you call me father, then I will pave the way for you to enter the palace. As for the situation after entering the palace, my father and I are also powerless. I just hope that you will do your best to obey the destiny of heaven, and you will be able to be safe and smooth in the palace. Master Shen's words came from the heart, and Shen Shu could feel it.

"It's so easy to survive in the palace, let alone be favored, even those eunuchs and palace maids have to look at their faces. If you are not favored, and you have no money to pay for, you will have to be tormented by them. Shen Shu looked worried, as if she had lost hope for the future.

When Master Shen saw his daughter so wronged, he felt distressed for a while. After all, she owes too much, and now she has to be sent to the palace.

"Shu'er, don't worry, I will buy you a dowry. It's as good as your eldest sister's dowry. If you enter the palace, you can't bring these things on the surface, then I will exchange them for silver tickets for you. ”

"Father..."Shen Shu was so moved that she was about to cry, her tone was choked, and she wanted to speak.

"How can a daughter be so gracious as a father."

Master Shen patted her shoulder, his lips moved twice, and he didn't say what was in his heart after all. If he said she was his own daughter, would she hate him as a father?

In the end, Master Shen said, "You entered the palace instead of Shen Xian, which is already a great favor to the Shen family." ”

"I hope that in the future, cherish yourself, and do not seek nobility, but peace."

"Thank you father, after my daughter enters the palace, she must put the glory of the family first in everything."

Shen Shu promised like this, and Master Shen was a little more pleased. His good cousin has taught a good daughter!

Focus on the overall situation, and be able to be magnanimous and repay grievances with virtue.

"Father, my daughter sees that your lips are dry, so she wants to make more chrysanthemum tea to drink." Shen Shu said with timely concern.

Master Shen's face was a little more moved. "Alright, you go back and rest first! For the father, this is the case. ”

"Yes, the father also has to rest early, and he has to combine work and rest, and his daughter retires."

After going back, Yuzhuo looked adoring, "Miss, you're too powerful!" After a few words, he actually asked the master to take out such a large amount of money. ”

"If this is known to Madame, won't she be angry? However, although the lord said that you should have the same dowry as the eldest lady, the lady would definitely not agree. Miss is going to keep an eye on it! ”

"When the water is clear, there are no fish, and even if Mrs. makes a stumbling block, it is just a small fight. Let her go! Shen Shu said indifferently.

In fact, Shen Shu is now hesitating whether to enter the palace or not, since Chu Yuege has married into the Tanglin Palace, and has been named the first of the four concubines, it means that the Tanglin Kingdom is showing goodwill to the West Chu State, and for a while, it will not start a war again.

So why should she lose herself?

But how can you escape from entering the palace? Choosing to feign illness? Suspended animation?

Or do you want to do it at the time of the draft?

No, during the draft, there is still that Mu Lingchen, she shouldn't be able to do anything, so what should she do?

Forget it, let's run away! Just wait for the day before the draft to escape, and when the time comes, the Shen family may let Shen Xian enter the palace, or they may choose another person to enter the palace instead of her. But that's what she doesn't care about.

She admitted that she was a little selfish by doing this, ignoring the Shen Mansion. But she hasn't been treated very well in the Shen Mansion these days!

Mrs. Shen and Shen Xian also blocked her from time to time.

That's it.

After Shen Shu made a decision, she began to pack her things. Although the money is something outside the body, but there is no money, I am really sad!

She didn't want to live a day of sleeping in the open and eating wild meat and fruits every day.

When there were still three days before the draft, a major event happened in the Western Chu Kingdom, which caused a sensation in the world.

The emperor of the Western Chu State was actually assassinated in the palace.

And Meng Yichen, the general of the Western Chu Kingdom, took down the assassin, and insisted that the assassin was sent by the Tanglin Kingdom. But no strong evidence was produced.

For this reason, the Tanglin State was also furious, believing that the Western Chu State deliberately framed and intended to provoke a war between the two countries.

The Tanglin Kingdom has the potential to send troops to attack.

When Chu Shuyao heard the bad news, she almost fainted. She couldn't accept it, she couldn't believe it. Such a sad blow broke her liver and intestines.

She really couldn't figure it out, how could her father be assassinated?

The Tanglin Kingdom has obviously accepted and kissed, so why should he come here. Is it just to provoke a dispute between the two countries?

But isn't that right? In doing so, didn't the Tanglin Kingdom take all the blame and fault on himself? How could the Aventurine Kingdom do such a stupid thing?

No, no one would believe that Tanglin did it. Because no one would believe that the Tanglin Congress made such a stupid decision.

So, the Tanglin Kingdom has become the victim instead?

Therefore, it is logical for the Tanglin State to take this opportunity to attack the Western Chu State under the pretext of slandering the Western Chu State?

What a strategy! This Tanglin Kingdom is really sinister!

Chu Shuyao gritted her teeth with hatred!

Good! Very good! Tanglin Kingdom, I will definitely turn the Tanglin Kingdom upside down, a brick, a tile, must be demolished cleanly, not a single brick left!

Chu Shuyao's eyes were blood-red, and the monstrous hatred made her crazy and demonic!
