Chapter 2 Strategies to Break the Deadlock

Although he had a deep thought, Shen Ning still squinted his eyes a little when the sky was about to dawn, and he didn't feel tired when he woke up, but he felt that the cold of March made people feel unusually refreshed.

"Girl, woke up so early? I don't have to say hello to my wife today, I can sleep a little longer. Mother Liu came in from outside the door and saw Shen Ning sitting in front of the dresser, obviously having been up for a while, and couldn't help but say more.

Because of the banquet tonight, the wife of the Shen family, Shen Ning's mother, Shen Yu, is really lacking in skills, and the time is very tight, so she spared everyone's greetings, so she can go through the preparations carefully again.

"I slept well last night, so I don't need to sleep more. I'll go to Houju to see the second brother. Can you help me comb my hair today? Let Qiu Ge go down and rest. Shen Ning said coquettishly, and motioned for Qiu Ge to leave with his eyes, Qiu Ge nodded invisibly, and withdrew lightly.

Following Shen Ning's meaning, Mother Liu combed Shen Ning with a simple flying fairy bun, only inserted a beaded flower decorated with exquisite jade, and did not wear other jewelry, lined with the lake-green skirt on her body, and the transparent silk in the color of cicada wings, which was in line with her usual simple dress, although her face had not yet grown, but it had a unique elegant flavor.

Shen Ning only took the maid Dongfu and went out of Qingzhuju. Qingzhuju is the courtyard where Shen Ning lives, and it is named this because there is a courtyard of verdant bamboo here. Over the years, as Shen Ning grew older, Mother Liu didn't like to accompany her everywhere, she preferred to stay in the yard and tell stories with the little maid.

Although Dong Fu is also twelve years old, he is slightly younger than Qiu Ge, the youngest of the four first-class maids in spring, summer, autumn and winter, so he has the most lively temperament, and Shen Ning can always hear a lot of useful information from her squeaky words.

For example, what she said now: "Girl, the second young master sneaked out again yesterday, and I heard that I saw a very interesting thing, but I was still punished by the master." Shen Ning listened and thought that although her second brother Shen Yuhong was extremely intelligent, he had the most out-of-the-box temperament, and he always went out to bring her delicious and fun things, because Shen Ning and his relationship were also the deepest.

So when she saw Shen Yuhong looking at her with his knees crooked, she couldn't help but laugh.

"Little conscienceless, come looking for food again? Yesterday, there was a delay, I didn't buy it~" Shen Yuhong was afraid that she would not believe it, and specially accentuated: "It's true!" I kid you not! ”

Shen Ning knew that it was true, and this plot had happened in his previous life. Yesterday he sneaked out and was trying to take the opportunity to buy some small things for his sister, but he saw a very interesting scene. In this place of Jingzhao, the children of the rich family are like worthless, and they can meet one or two everywhere they go, no, he saw the young son of the Chu Shilang family again, etc., he seems to be bullying people again?

Seeing that Chu Xuan was vicious and evil, he scattered the cabbage from a mother and daughter stall on the ground, and wanted to arrest the girl, but the people who set up the stalls around him were far away, and they dared not speak out. Shen Yuhong was about to step forward, and a gentle young man appeared next to the mother and daughter, who was personable, but with a righteous face, reprimanded the Chu family, and returned the mother and daughter to Yinliang.

"It turns out that the fifth prince is also a very good person." Shen Yuhong finished telling his sister about the matter, and added such a sentence at the end.

Hearing the words "Five Princes", Shen Ning felt an uncontrollable anger surging in his heart, Five Princes, Five Princes, Five Princes Shangguan Changzhi. In the previous life, it was precisely because Shen Yuhong saw such a scene, so when Shangguan Changzhi invited him to enter the Five Princes' Mansion at the banquet, he agreed without hesitation, and then took Shen Ning to see him more frequently, and gradually, the Shen family and the Princeless Mansion became closer and closer.

I must cut off this connection, Shen Ning said secretly, his anger gradually subsided, it seems that his influence on me is still so profound, I am still so powerless, Shen Ning laughed self-deprecatingly.

"What a coincidence, second brother, it's rare for you to sneak out once, and when you see something like this, Ning'er really wants to go out." Shen Ning said innocently, and then asked suspiciously: "The fifth prince will also go to such a place?" Didn't you just hear that he just opened the house, he should be very busy, and the vegetable market must be very interesting. "Say it with a yearning look.

Yes, the fifth prince should be very busy, how can he have time to go to a place like the vegetable market. The speaker has a heart, and the listener also has an intention, Shen Yuhong's thoughts paused, and then he joked with Shen Ning again. Seeing this, Shen Ning didn't talk much, she knew that Shen Yuhong was very smart, since she had paid attention, if she thought about it carefully, she would find that this matter was unreasonable.

A dignified fifth prince actually condescended to the vegetable market to help a mother and daughter? Shen Ning snorted coldly in his heart, that is, he can do it, as long as he can achieve his goal, no matter what methods and schemes are available, and it can also make people feel that he is docile and kind, although Shen Ning can't wait for him to die, he has to admit that this is his superiority.

It seems that this well-designed scene is aimed at Shen Yuhong. The eldest brother is the grandson of the son-in-law, it is impossible to enter the prince's mansion to serve, the second brother is the second son of his father, and he has always had a good relationship with the eldest brother Shen Yuxian, and he is also close to me, he wants to net his father's room, Shen Ning can guess his intentions at once, and this is also thanks to the many years of getting along in the previous life, she knows him very well.

In the afternoon, Qiu Ge went to the back door and came back not long after. said to Shen Ning: "Girl, the things are back." Then he said that no one knew except his cousin.

Shen Ning looked at the small medicine bag in her hand, did she want to do this, but if she didn't do it, wouldn't the matter still follow the original trajectory, she quickly made up her mind, called Xia Ci outside the house, and said that she wanted to drink ginger tea very much, let her cook a few more bowls, and then she would send it to her mother and a few brothers. Xia Ci answered, and happily went to work, she was in charge of Shen Ning's small kitchen, and her skills were good, so as soon as she heard that Shen Ning wanted to drink ginger tea, she immediately went to the small kitchen to work.

The ginger tea was cooked quickly, and Shen Ning instructed Chun Shi to send a bowl to his mother Shen Yu, and asked Xia Ci and Dong Fu to send it to the third brother Shen Yuxuan and the fourth brother Shen Yushou respectively, and finally said, The remaining bowl, I will send it to the second brother later, anyway, I will pass by him before going to the banquet, which is very convenient.

Hearing this, Qiu Ge was stunned, but he didn't say anything.

The sky was getting dark, the Shen family was full of lights, and there were carriages coming in front of the door one after another, ruts and turns, and horses neighing, but it did not affect the little servant to respectfully and orderly welcome the officials and in-laws to the banquet hall.

There are Shen Huashan, Shen Zejing, Shen Zeyuan and others on the male guest's side, and they are staggered for a while, just talking about the female guests, they are also laughing and laughing, Shen Yu's family came and went to the banquet, and greeted the ladies.

"Mrs. Shen, congratulations, everyone will be in Jingzhao in the future, then you can get together from time to time, I will give you a post another day, you must come." This is the wife of Yuan Kezhen, the waiter of the Ministry of Works, said with a smile, although she is older than Shen Yu's, her tone is very intimate and familiar, who called her father-in-law's immediate boss is Shen Yu's father-in-law, Shen Huashan's wife has been dead for several years, and the Shen family's backyard is now Shen Yu's eldest son and daughter-in-law.

"Mrs. Shen is really good, she managed the huge Shen family neatly and orderly at a young age, and she really wants to ask for advice another day. I'm ashamed of myself. This voice has a smile, a little sycophant, but it is not offensive, this is the wife of Gu Zicheng, the foreign man of the test division, and her husband is about to be Shen Zejing's subordinate.

……

……

For a while, many ladies came over one after another to greet each other, although Shen Zejing was only a fifth-grade official, but he couldn't stand the fact that people were in the examination of merit, and he had the right to investigate, not to mention, next year is the year of the five-year examination, at this time, when to pull the relationship, since ancient times, the friendship in the backyard is more effective than the friendship of classmates, these ladies are clear.

Shen Yu said with a smile, and beckoned the wife of Wei Jindu, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, and the wife of Zheng Pucun, the secretary of the Ministry of Households, not to be polite, thank them for their faces, and praised the granddaughter they carried by them for looking so symbolic, and they were happy when they saw it, etc., and pulled Shen Ning who was with him on the side, and said to them: "Look, I am such a heart, I look good, it is far worse than yours." ”

Hearing this, the two ladies looked at Shen Ning without a trace: Jiangnan Soft Yanluo's skirt, half of her arms were hidden outside the waist of the skirt, and the turquoise ring hanging from the waist was faintly visible.

The two ladies said kind words in their mouths: Where is it, it hasn't grown yet, in a few years, the threshold is about to be broken, but there is a little self-contained smile on his face, and he feels that Shen Yu's is also a very sincere person, and between talking and laughing, he is also a little more relaxed and close.

Seeing this, Shen Yushi squinted slightly, the corners of his mouth kept smiling, and he said from his daughter, everything is a debt of children, what worries have never stopped for a moment, and talked a little about the style of Jiangnan with several ancestral Jiangnan ladies, and said in his mouth: "Wugan vegetables, white rice, the gods want to go down to earth when they smell it...... I miss that smell. At this time, the official wife from Jiangsu, Zhejiang and Fujian has a good impression of the Shen Mansion, and they get together and talk about the scenery of the south of the Yangtze River, laughing constantly.

Over there, An's was also talking to a group of young daughters-in-law with a big belly, and some new daughters-in-law touched her belly, and everyone laughed.

Shen Ning followed Shen Yu's side, and when he saw this, he secretly spoke, usually his mother was not inconspicuous, but he turned out to be such a clever person, his father was promoted all the way, and his mother seemed to have contributed a lot. At this time, there was a commotion at the men's seat, as if someone was still hearing someone saying: The Five Princes......

Yu's mother whispered a few times in Shen Yu's ear, Shen Yu's knew that the five princes were coming, and said that they knew, the five princes, and the female dependents did not have to go to the meeting, so Shen Yu's smiled and said, leave them alone, we will also make fun of ours...... The atmosphere of the banquet has always been so high, the guests give faces, the host is enthusiastic, and the topic has not been interrupted since then, everyone enjoys this atmosphere, it is conceivable that after this banquet, Shen Yu's family will receive a lot of posts to the banquet7.
