"Girl, in order to avoid harassing you by irrelevant people recently, I have set up a formation in your Mingyue Pavilion, and those who don't understand the formation will not be affected by this formation, and the envelope is attached with a diagram of this formation. By the way, girl, don't be too grateful to me. ”

After reading the letter left by Situ Shaogong, Shui Ningyan really found a drawing from the envelope. I saw that the formation on this drawing was exquisite, there was a formation within a formation, and if the first layer of maze was broken into, the second layer of maze would be opened immediately.

Seeing this, Shui Ningyan couldn't help but flash a flash of appreciation in his eyes. She didn't expect Situ Shaogong to be so proficient in formations. I'm afraid Situ Shaogong is afraid that Dongfang Lie will come to her. She doesn't have a good impression of Dongfang Lie, this formation can trap Dongfang Lie is naturally the best, but she doesn't want to see this guy Situ Shaogong.

Suddenly, something came to mind, and Shui Ningyan's pink lips like petals hooked an unfathomable arc. It seems that she should use her hands and feet on this formation, so that Situ Shaogong and that guy will not bother her.

Today's happy event in the General's Mansion is coming, and the dinner is naturally extraordinarily rich. In the past, each aunt received meals from the kitchen of the General's Mansion and dined in her own courtyard, but today in order to celebrate the glorious lintel of the General's Mansion, the dinner was chosen in the hall. By the time Shui Ningyan arrived, everyone else had already arrived. The large dining table was filled with delicacies, most of which were in the taste of watery smoke.

"Oh, the great hero of our General's Mansion is finally here! Miss, sit down, sit down! As soon as Aunt Feng saw Shui Ningyan coming in, she immediately got up to greet her.

"Yan'er comes to sit here." Shen Yuexin greeted dotingly.

Shui Ningyan smiled faintly at Aunt Feng, said hello, and immediately walked to the empty seat next to Shen Yuexin and sat down. Aunt Qin glanced at Aunt Feng with disdain, and secretly scolded Aunt Feng for being a sycophant. Aunt Xue sat quietly, without too much expression on her face, but as if she was thinking about something.

"Ladies and gentlemen, Yan'er won the first place at the Hundred Flowers Banquet today, and he has made a big face for our general's mansion, so this meal is to treat Yan'er, and I have something to announce to you. Yan'er has canceled the marriage contract with King Rui, and Mo'er will marry into the palace as the side princess on the next day. Our General's Mansion is also a double happiness today. Everyone has a great time tonight. Shen Yuexin said as the hostess of the General's Mansion.

When the words fell, Aunt Xue said with a little curiosity: "Hey, sister, the eldest lady is famous in the Hundred Flowers Banquet today, why is His Royal Highness King Rui willing to give up the eldest lady?" ”

Aunt Xue has always lived in a simple house, and her well-informed knowledge is naturally not as good as Aunt Feng. When Aunt Feng heard this, she covered her lips with a handkerchief and smiled charmingly, and said, "Aunt Xue, you don't know yet, our second lady is already pregnant with a little prince, so she naturally has to enter the gate of the palace." ”

As soon as these words came out, Aunt Qin and Shui Ningmo's faces were very ugly. Both of them glared at Aunt Feng angrily, but unfortunately what Aunt Feng said was the truth, if it weren't for this, how could she enter the palace as she wished?

Thinking of the scene when Emperor Fuchen gave up himself and begged Shui Ningyan to be Princess Rui at the Hundred Flowers Banquet, Shui Ningmo only felt that he was like a thousand arrows piercing his heart, it was clear that King Rui had always liked her, but in the end she was going to be abandoned, where could Shui Ningyan compare to her!

"Okay, Aunt Feng, don't say it, let's hurry up and eat while it's hot." Shen Yuexin frowned and said.

Aunt Feng laughed twice and replied, "What Madame said is very true, it is the concubine who has said too much. ”

Shen Yuexin turned her head to Aunt Qin and Shui Ningmo and said, "Mrs. Ben didn't expect that Mo'er would marry one step earlier than Yan'er, so this dowry is according to the standard for the marriage of the daughters of the official families in the capital, three shops, three thousand taels of silver." In the next few days, I will send someone to prepare, and when the Rui Wangfu comes to the door to finalize the date of the marriage, I will not be in a hurry. ”

As soon as the words fell, Aunt Qin pouted and said dissatisfiedly: "Madam, although the second lady is just a concubine, she is going to marry King Rui and enter the palace, and the dowry you said is too shabby." At that time, if the second lady marries, it is inevitable that she will not be despised, and our general's mansion will also lose face, and it will also be disrespectful to King Rui. ”

Shen Yuexin sneered and said, "Then according to Aunt Qin's meaning, how much dowry should Mrs. Ben buy?" ”

When Aunt Qin heard this, her eyes suddenly lit up, and she couldn't wait to say: "According to the concubine, Madame should prepare eight shops for the second lady, 100 acres of fertile land, 10,000 taels of gold, and 10,000 taels of silver, so that it will not insult the face of our general's mansion." Although the second lady is a concubine, the gap between the concubines cannot be too big. ”

"Aunt Qin, if Mrs. Ben really buys the dowry as you say, wouldn't it break the rules of the marriage standards for the concubines in the entire capital?" The corners of Shen Yue's lips couldn't help but draw a mocking arc.

She really admired Aunt Qin's lion mouth open. The standard that Aunt Qin just said is even more magnificent than that of many big officials in the capital who marry their daughters.

When Aunt Qin heard this, there was no trace of embarrassment on her face, and she said with a smile: "Madam, the rules are all set by people, and besides, the second miss is also a special case, how many concubines can marry into the palace with such a good life as the second miss?" ”

Shen Yuexin couldn't help frowning when she heard this. This Aunt Qin is not ashamed of being pregnant before marriage, but is proud, and at the moment she has to hold up the momentum of being the housewife, and she is not angry and arrogant: "Aunt Qin, there are other rules that cannot be overcome." If Mo'er is married according to the standard you said now, then Mrs. Ben will have to have a bowl of water, and then Han'er and Xiang'er will be accompanied like this, then won't the entire general's mansion have to drink the northwest wind? ”

When Aunt Qin heard this, she immediately looked disdainful and retorted: "As for the third and fourth misses, they may not have such a good life as the second miss, so the dowries of the third and fourth ladies will be according to the standard that the lady said." ”

Aunt Qin's implication is that Shui Ningmo has a special status when she marries King Rui, so she must do it according to the standards she said. Aunt Qin's domineering immediately aroused the dissatisfaction of Aunt Xue, Aunt Feng, and Shui Ninghan and Shui Ningxiang.

"Aunt Qin, you can't say that, my mother is a bodhisattva and is willing to buy a dowry for the second sister, if it is someone else, the second sister will definitely not be spared if she robs the eldest sister's fiancé."

As soon as Shui Ninghan's words came out, Aunt Qin and Shui Ningmo's faces suddenly became extremely difficult to see, but all of this was a fact, so that the mother and daughter couldn't say a word, and their faces turned blue and black with anger.

"Aunt Qin, you have to find out who is the head of the General's Mansion, Mrs. Ben's words have been said, and she will not change it again, if you think it is not suitable, you can ask your mother's Yongchang Pavilion Marquis Mansion to give Mo'er some dowry." Shen Yue said resolutely in her heart, and when the words fell, she paused slightly and said, "This matter is so decided, let's start eating." ”

Aunt Qin has always relied on her family to be a military general, and her father is the Marquis of Yongchang Pavilion, and she is very favored by Shui Ziru in the General's Mansion, so she has never taken Shen Yuexin very seriously. Now seeing that Shen Yuexin took her so indifferently, she was suddenly angry, Huo Di got up from her seat, and laughed angrily at Shen Yuexin: "Shen Yuexin, since you treat the second lady so harshly, then the concubine can wait for the master to come back and call the shots." ”

Seeing Shen Yuexin's stunned expression, Aunt Qin suddenly said proudly: "Oh, you may not know yet, the three of them have already sent a message to the concubine, saying that he is already on the way back, calculate the time, it is estimated that the master should come back at the latest." Hmph, when the time comes, the concubine will accuse your mother and daughter of the abuse of me and the second miss in front of the master! After speaking, Aunt Qin was like a proud swan twisting the waist of the water snake and left the table.

"Mother." Shui Ningyan called softly, and looked at Shen Yuexin very distressedly.

Just when Aunt Qin said those words, she saw Shen Yuexin's eyes sad and gloomy, and her heart also ached. This majestic and dignified general treats his sweetheart far from being as free and bold as usual.

Although Shen Yuexin's infatuation with Shui Ziru has not changed over the years, the man she longed for did not notify her of this wife when he returned, but wrote to an aunt, this kind of humiliation and blow must be unbearable for any woman.

"I'm fine, let's eat." It was only a moment's work, and Shen Yuexin adjusted her mood, except for her face being a little pale, as if she was fine.

Seeing this, Shui Ningyan couldn't help but sigh in his heart. She knew that this mother was just disguising herself, and she was only afraid that her heart was dripping blood.

"Mother, just now, Aunt Qin was only thinking about Mo'er, and she was disrespectful, and I asked my mother not to be angry. Mo'er is here to make amends to you. Shui Ningmo got up from his seat and immediately knelt in front of Shen Yuexin.

"Get up, it's none of your business." Shen Yuexin said lightly.

"Please don't get angry." After Shui Ningmo got up, his eyebrows frowned slightly, and he really looked like he cared about Shen Yuexin.

"It's rare that you are so sensible, my mother will not punish herself with other people's mistakes, so I won't be angry." Shen Yuexin said.

Shui Ningyan shook her head secretly, Shen Yuexin was right, she was not angry because of Aunt Qin, but because she was sad for the ruthlessness of the man she loved.

Shui Ningmo glanced lightly at Shen Yuexin, who was sitting in the main seat, and her pink lips hooked up a mocking arc. She knew that Aunt Qin's words before leaving must have hit Shen Yuexin very hard. At the moment, her father has not come back, so she has to be able to look up to Shen Yuexin's snort, after all, Shen Yuexin is the head of the general's mansion, if she angers Shen Yuexin, maybe she will marry into the palace at that time.

Shui Ningmo has always been thoughtful, and I don't know how much more powerful than the impulsive Aunt Qin. In the course of the meal that followed, everyone had different thoughts, and none of them spoke. Shui Ningyan was worried about Shen Yuexin, so this dinner tasted like chewing wax.
