Chapter 53: Playing for Love
"Madame, Mademoiselle, you are finally back!"
After the carriage stopped, Shui Ningyan and Shen Yuexin came over, and saw a large number of people at the gate, such as Fu Bo, Lime, He Shou, and Bai Zhi, who greeted their mother and daughter.
Shui Ningyan thought that something big had happened in the mansion when he went out, and hurriedly asked, "What?" What's going on in the house? β
Hearing this, Fu Bo hurriedly replied, "Miss, something is wrong?" β
As soon as these words came out, Shen Yuexin and Shui Ningyan's faces changed.
"Let's go, go back and talk slowly."
There are many people at the gate of the General's Mansion, and it is really not the place to speak. So everyone followed the water condensation smoke mother and daughter into the house.
Shen Yuexin asked as she walked, "Fu Bo, what did you say happened?" β
After pondering for a while, Fu Boliu said: "Mrs. Hui, just now the people from Shangshu Mansion brought a whole few boxes of silver by car, and it is worth 10,000 taels. No matter how the old slave asked, they didn't say what was going on, but only said that they would understand when the lady and the young lady came back. β
Speaking of this, Fu Bo paused slightly, and continued, "The more the old slave thinks about it, the more wrong it becomes, for fear that it is the treacherous plan of the Shangshu Mansion, and if it is to frame Mrs. and Miss, it will be bad." So the old slave wrote a sign note and asked the people from Shangshufu to sign it, even if they played any conspiracy, we wouldn't have no evidence. β
When Shen Yuexin and Shui Ningyan heard this, they immediately knew what was going on. Unexpectedly, Murong Yu was so angry that he vomited blood and fainted in the palace just now, and he had already sent someone to send silver at this time, and he was really a person who could afford to let go and do big things, and he was able to worship the second-grade military department, and he was indeed a ruthless character who was not easy to deal with.
"Fauber, you are doing the right thing, you should be careful in everything." Shen Yuexin praised without hesitation.
When Fu Bo heard this, he scratched his head, and suddenly said embarrassedly: "Madame has won the award, this is what the old slave should do." β
Shen Yue nodded with satisfaction, and then said with a smile: "But you are all worried in vain this time, this is the spiritual compensation that Shangshu Mansion gave to your eldest lady." β
As soon as these words came out, everyone was stunned for a moment, and then reacted, and said excitedly: "Madam, eldest lady, so the conspiracy of Shangshufu failed, and it lost 10,000 taels of silver?" β
Shen Yuexin nodded and said, "And Murong Yu was so angry that he vomited blood and fainted." β
"Ah...... Ha ha...... Murong Yu really did it himself! β
When everyone heard this, they were so shocked that they couldn't close their mouths at first, and then they were overjoyed and applauded.
"Madam, you are really amazing, you deserve to be a heroine, even such a difficult role as the military department Shangshu has been handled by Madame, Madame is really amazing!"
When Shen Yuexin heard this, she laughed and said, "Don't praise me so much, all this is done by your eldest lady." β
As soon as these words came out, everyone exclaimed louder, Murong Yu is a veteran who has been in the officialdom for decades, and the eldest lady of their family is just a boudoir woman, she didn't expect to have such courage, it is really too domineering.
"Not only that, but the eldest lady of your family also made Concubine Li, who favored the sixth palace, also fall for herself this time." Shen Yuexin spoke, her face was filled with a thick smile, this daughter made her proud.
"Wow, what the hell is going on? The eldest lady is too strong! β
"It turns out that their Shangshu Mansion has been defeated, no wonder they don't want to say more about the 100,000 taels of silver."
"The eldest lady is simply our idol, and sure enough, if there is a mother, there must be a daughter."
"Madam, don't sell it, tell us how the eldest lady frustrated Murong Yu and Concubine Li?"
"Okay, if you want to know the specific situation, go and let your young lady tell me, General Ben still has some important things to deal with." Shen Yuexin said with a faint smile.
As soon as these words came out, seeing that everyone was looking at him with fierce eyes, Shui Ningyan suddenly coughed lightly twice and said, "Miss, I'm going to take a bath and change clothes." With that, she smeared oil on the soles of her feet and ran away quickly.
The eldest lady is so powerful, she will tell outsiders about these things today, even as a subordinate, it is a very dignified thing, and the people in the house naturally don't want to let go of such an opportunity. So, all those who wanted to hear gossip chased after their eldest lady.
Shen Yuexin looked at the extremely happy scene in front of her with crooked eyebrows, and then asked Fu Bo beside her, "Fu Bo, what about the 100,000 taels of silver sent by Shangshu Mansion." β
Fu Bo said respectfully: "Mrs. Hui, I have already sent it to your yard." β
"Send someone to exchange the silver for silver tickets and send them to the eldest lady."
"Yes, the old slave is going to send someone to do it."
General's Mansion, Mingyue Pavilion.
The condensation smoked all the rings out of the door, and she sat in the steamy tub. The light smoke and steaming around the room, the fragrance of jasmine flowers permeated the entire inner room, and the flying white transparent veil made the whole space ethereal and unreal, and all this came from the large bath tub in the center of the inner room.
A trace of white mist continued to evaporate from the bath tub, and the snow-white jasmine rose and fell on the water surface, lining the people in the bathtub with more icy skin.
Half of the long black hair was scattered over the water, spreading out like the most beautiful brocade, faintly glittering.
Perhaps because he was too tired, Shui Ningyan fell asleep unconsciously, a pair of jade arms stretched out of the bucket, overlapping the edges of the bath bucket, leaning on the side of the face, and sleeping very sweetly at the moment. The lips like rose petals are slightly open, the nose is delicate, and the eyelashes like butterfly feathers are covered with a faint mist.
The smooth back, half of which is exposed to the air because of the posture of leaning forward, and the long ink-colored hair, makes the skin even more fair and flawless, like a lustrous mutton fat jade.
Situ Shaogong, who was wearing a mask, when he turned from the screen and saw the sweet water condensation smoke in the bathtub, his dark eyes suddenly shrank, and the whole person forgot to breathe for a moment.
At this moment, a word suddenly popped up in his mind, beautiful as jade. Perhaps it is more appropriate to use a beautiful woman like jade to describe the picture in front of you.
The jade-like skin makes people want to touch it to see if it is as white and smooth as it sees.
A thought flashed, and Situ Shaogong was startled by the thought that came up in his heart.
Damn it! What's wrong with him? How can he take advantage of people's danger! He couldn't help but take a deep breath to calm his chaotic heartbeat. I have to say that the concentration I have always been proud of collapsed in an instant in front of the woman in front of me.
Turning around, trying to pretend that nothing had happened and desperately running away. But those raised legs couldn't get out.
Situ Shaogong retreated to the screen at the door of the inner room, and behind him was the water condensation smoke that was sitting peacefully asleep in the bathtub. Good-looking brows furrowed slightly.
What to do? To go or not to go? If he were to leave now, and the woman would not know when she would wake up, the hot water in the bucket would have cooled quickly, and if she was allowed to sleep in it, she would have a cold. However, if he didn't leave, he had no confidence in his already weak concentration in front of this woman.
Situ Shaogong tightened his eyebrows, and in the end, it was better to wake up this woman.
"Ahem......"
After the sound of coughing sounded in the inner room, Shui Ningyan's originally closed eyes suddenly opened. She actually heard the man's cough, what was the situation? A man broke into her room?
Before he had time to think about it, Shui Ningyan reached out and pulled the robe from the hanger and draped it on his body, and then came out of the bathtub, and then escaped in a cold voice, "Come out!" β
Then, I saw Situ Shaogong turn around from the screen slightly embarrassed. Shui Ningyan saw that it was him, and his eyes were condensed, "Situ Shaogong, you are forgetful, I already said last time, you are not allowed to come to me again in the future!" β
Situ Shaogong raised his eyes, and saw that after bathing, she was covered with three thousand green silks, and small droplets of water continued to drip from the tips of her hair. The cheeks, which had been smoked by the heat for too long, were now glowing with a charming pale pink, creating a delicate and lovely skin like petals, and the eyes were watery, like dew on the petals of a flower in the morning.
Perhaps in a hurry, her white silk robe was not neatly dressed, revealing a graceful neck and clearly visible collarbones, which evoked reverie. The folds at the end of the robe flowed like snow and moonlight, and they fell lightly to the ground. The whole person is beautiful and unconventional, ice and jade, like a fairy in a painting, like a clear and transparent ice and snow, and the body also exudes a faint fragrance of flowers.
Situ Shaogong lost his mind for a moment, and quickly retracted his gaze.
"Women have always spoken differently, so how can this prince be sure if you are saying the opposite." After the words fell, Situ Shaogong dodged elegantly, and immediately sat down at the round table to drink tea alone, completely in a self-cooked posture.
Shui Ningyan heard this, and the corners of his mouth twitched fiercely. If people are shameless, they are invincible in the world. Situ Shaogong is so cheeky, and she is helpless. It's not an opponent to fight by yourself, and poisoning can't fool this man who is better than a monkey. If she shouts loudly, then the lonely man and widow will be in the same room, and she will just take a bath, but she is afraid that the situation will be worse. So, in desperation, she could only choose to treat Situ Shaogong as air.
The water condensation smoke smokes her hair in front of the cloisonnΓ© copper smoker, and she deliberately adds her own orchid fragrance to it, which will leave a faint orchid fragrance when used to dry her hair, which will last for a long time.
Situ Shaogong unintentionally turned his head, his eyes stared at Shui Ningyan, but when he wanted to take it back, he suddenly froze on a certain place on her body, his phoenix eyes suddenly widened, and the black ripples condensed in an instant, and his anger was raging.
Immediately, Situ Shao got up respectfully and walked quickly towards Shui Ningyan. Shui Ningyan saw that the other party's face was not good, and he didn't know where he had provoked this shadowy man, and he couldn't help but feel a trace of inexplicable panic in his heart.
She stopped smoking her hair, straightened up, her eyes were full of vigilance, and asked coldly, "Situ Shaogong, what are you going to do?" β
Situ Shaogong pursed his thin lips, but he didn't say anything, he just approached her.
