The envious gaze around made Shen Ningru's vanity instantly satisfied. said a few more things, the little things that she and Gu Qingxuan loved each other.

Shen Qingru sat in front of her, tugging at the corners of her mouth, but didn't make a sound.

Xiao Yueluo was upset when she spoke. I have endured it, and seeing that the more she talks, the more outrageous it becomes, and the living love is more and more than a young couple, I couldn't help but say sarcastically: "Concubine Shen, the wind is strong, be careful to flash your tongue." ”

Shen Ningru said that he had to believe it. I was interrupted and felt a little weak. "Second Miss Xiao, what do you mean by this?"

Xiao Yueluo smiled coldly: "What do you mean, Concubine Shen knows it in her heart." Xiao Yueluo bit the word "side concubine". Shen Ningru's face was a little ugly.

Shen Wanru hurriedly said: "Second Miss Xiao envied my sister and said bluntly, why bother being weird here." ”

Xiao Yueluo lifted her eyelids and said mockingly: "I envy her? A side concubine, what is there to envy. I think Concubine Shen can only live in front of everyone. Actually, who knows. ”

Xiao Yueluo took a side concubine, and Shen Ning was harsh when she heard it. But Xiao Yueluo's words made her even more frightened. Could it be that Xiao Yueluo really knows something? Shen Ningru beat a drum in his heart and replied thoughtfully.

Shen Wanru had already taken the lead and snorted and said, "Second Miss Xiao looks down on the side concubine so much, don't forget that her mother is also a side concubine!" ”

"Wanru!" Shen Ningru snorted softly. Shen Wanru's words simply poked into people's hearts. She hasn't figured out what Xiao Yueluo knows yet, don't be annoyed. Shake it all out. Then it's a big shame today.

It's a pity that Shen Wanru's words have already been spoken, and when she looks at Xiao Yueluo again, her hands are trembling with anger. It was the first time that someone dared to speak with Gong Lan's identity. Gong Lan is a side concubine, but she was in charge of the palace before, who dared to say a word about her. Now as soon as the princess comes out, as soon as Gong Lan loses power, someone can't wait to step on it. Xiao Yueluo's eyes were gloomy, no matter how her mother was, she couldn't compare to Shen Ningru!

Shen Ningru's right eyelid jumped, and she always felt that Xiao Yueluo seemed to really know her situation. Seeing that the other party wanted to speak, he didn't care about anything else, glared at Shen Wanru fiercely, stepped forward and said with a smile: "Second Miss Xiao, don't be angry." My sister is like this, she speaks without restraint and has no other meaning. ”

Xiao Yueluo looked down at the teacup and said casually: "This is called unintentional?" When am I deaf? ”

"I asked her to apologize to you." Shen Ningru wanted to appease Xiao Yueluo. gave Shen Wanru a look, and the latter turned his head away. Shen Ningru had no choice, so she pulled Shen Wanru over again and glanced at her angrily. Shen Wanru is quite obedient to her sister. Only then did he reluctantly whisper: "I said the wrong thing." ”

Shen Ningru followed the words and said, "Second Miss Xiao don't take it to heart. ”

Xiao Yueluo felt a little more comfortable in her heart, and remembered what Gu Qingxuan had told her, so she snorted coldly and stopped talking.

She was comfortable, but Shen Wanru was extremely aggrieved. As soon as he returned to his seat with Shen Ningru, he shook off her hand. He turned to the side and ignored her.

Shen Ningru touched her back and said in a serious tone: "Wanru." ”

Shen Wanru turned around unhappily and whispered, "Sister, why are you letting her?" ”

Why let, don't let it!

Shen Ning couldn't say anything if he was bitter, so he only said, "I'm thinking about you." Now that you are married, you can't just come according to your temperament. Now Prince Xiao's Mansion is in the limelight, which offended Xiao Yueluo. The Duchess of Ming Guo will also be angry. ”

At the mention of the Duchess of Mingguo, Shen Wanru shrunk her neck. Although they have only been together for more than ten days, she is still quite scared of this mother-in-law. Knowing that Shen Ning was thinking about herself, Shen Wanru was not angry with her. just said unwillingly: "I just can't get used to seeing her like that." is obviously jealous of his sister, and refuses to admit it. ”

Shen Ningru's smile cracked, and she said with difficulty: "Don't worry about her." He also kept his mouth shut, and he didn't dare to talk about Gu Qingxuan's favor anymore.

Fortunately, it was still early in the morning, and there were not many people coming. Not many people know what's going on here.

Because of the proximity, Shen Qingru watched the whole process. I feel that Shen Ningru doesn't seem to be quite right today. Although Shen Ningru has always been virtuous and generous in front of others, there are really not many cases like this, when he has been slapped on the left side of his face by others and stretched out his right cheek.

Shen Qingru didn't dig deeper, she saw the two people who had just come in.

Seventeen or eighteen years younger. Dressed in a goose-yellow blouse, embroidered with small and delicate orchids with silver thread, and covered with a light-colored soft skirt. The green silk is high, and a hollow orchid bead hairpin is obliquely inserted in the hair.

The wide water sleeves reflect the graceful figure. The elegant jade face is slightly powdered, and the eyebrows are like distant mountains, soft and light. Walking around, Ying Ying smiled, gestured, elegant and moving.

The eldest is thirty-five or sixteen years old. Although it is not as young and beautiful as the former, she is elegant and decent with a smile and a smile, showing her noble lady's demeanor and her good upbringing.

As soon as the two appeared, they attracted a lot of attention. Many are even whispering.

Old Prince Xiao's birthday is really different. Not only did the county lord of Nanyang come, but even the Taifu Mansion, which has been closed all year round, also sent people.

Shen Qingru greeted him in surprise. These two are her aunt Meng Shi and her cousin Wen Shu.

To be precise, the two represent the Pingyang Hou Mansion.

It's just that Mrs. Wen's fame is too great. Even if it has been Zhishi for many years, when everyone sees the Wen family, the first thing that comes to mind is the old lady. The two emperors of that year, after the emperor went into hiding, visited the thatched house three times, and the old lady was unmoved. Speaking of which, the old lady is the same age as the old prince, and the old prince is still fighting on the battlefield and being loyal to the country. The old lady died early, which caused a shock to the government and the opposition. All the officials were puzzled, and the old prince had a big quarrel with him.

No one could change the old lady's determination. With the Pingyang Hou Mansion, live in a simple place. The ladies seldom come out and move around.

"Auntie, cousin, sit here." Shen Qingru took the two to the seat, she gave a post to the Pingyang Hou Mansion, but she didn't expect the two to really come.

Meng Shi looked at Shen Qingru with a smile and said, "The eighteenth year of the female college has changed, and the more beautiful it becomes." ”

Although the Pingyang Hou Mansion does not often go out to socialize, they know about Shen Qingru's changes.

Mainly thanks to Shen Mingru, who has often said good things for Shen Qingru in front of his grandfather and uncle recently. And after Shen Qingru came back, he often sent some things to the Pingyang Hou Mansion. They came and went, and they got closer than before.

In the eyes of Pingyang Hou and Meng, since Shen Qingru has changed his past mistakes, they will naturally not hold on to their previous mistakes. In their eyes, Shen Qingru is still just a child, occasionally ignorant, and after correcting it, they still hurt as much as Shen Mingru.

Shen Qingru said with a smile: "No matter how beautiful you are, you can't compare to your cousin, you have to be more beautiful every time you meet." I don't even dare to see her. ”

Wen Shu was slightly surprised, Shen Qingru was not so smart and likable before. Although I heard some from Shen Mingru's mouth, I didn't know that the change was so big. In addition to surprise, it is more gratifying. He also smiled and said, "Your mouth is really getting better and better at talking." ”

Xiao Baozi woke up from sleep and was also carried here. In Aunt Lan's arms, she blinked and observed the two of them.

No matter how old a woman is, she likes cute things. Needless to say, the little buns are the cutest. instantly pleased the two.

Meng Shi hugged him and couldn't put it down. Wen Shu held the little fat hand of the little bun, remembered something, took out a pair of red gold Ruyi bracelets and a piece of black jade from his arms, and handed them to Shen Qingru: "At the original 100-day banquet, I couldn't come over, this is for Xiao Ji'er." ”

For the 100-day banquet, the Pingyang Hou Mansion and the old lady all sent things. I probably didn't think it was sincere enough, so I brought it over again today.

"Uncle Xie, aunt and cousin remember." Shen Qingru accepted it with a smile. When I took the jade pendant, I found that the name of the small bun was engraved on it. The words are very beautiful, the carving is not too good, and it is not familiar at first glance.

Wen Shu was a little helpless: "The words were written by my grandfather." The jade pendant was carved by my brother. He had to engrave it himself, but his mother couldn't stop him. ”

Wen Shu also has an older brother Wen Zisheng above. I'm nineteen years old this year, and I haven't married yet.

Shen Qingru didn't have much contact and didn't know much about it. I only know that he is a talented man who is full of experience, but he does not participate in scientific examinations. I followed the old lady and Dean Meng to learn poetry and painting, but now it is difficult to find a painting. It seems that he should also be a person with a detached personality and a chic and uninhibited person. and Xiao Ran estimated that they could play.

Shen Qingru hung up the jade pendant on the little bun and said, "Go back and thank my cousin and grandfather for me." By the way, are my cousin and uncle here today? ”

Wen Shu nodded: "It's all here." Grandfather didn't let his brother come, he said he wanted to see Xiao Ji'er, and came secretly. At this time, I was with my father at the man's side. "For this brother, Wen Shu has a headache. It's such a big person, like a child. If it weren't for the fact that all of them were women, they would have come with me.

Shen Qingru smiled: "When the banquet is over, I will carry Xiao Ji'er over." ”

The three of them hadn't seen each other for a long time, and they had a lot to say. Wen Shu and Shen Qingru also chatted more and more like each other. There are also the county lord of Weixi, Yunxi, and the county lord Ruoxuan who just came, and another member of the small group has been added.

As the sun turns westerly, more and more guests come. Seeing Meng's mother and daughter, many people stepped forward to talk.

No one in the Meng family is an official in the court, but no matter which official is polite to him. Even if the people from Prince Xiao's Mansion and the Gong family met the Meng family, their tone would be a little more respectful.

The Meng family is a real master of poetry and books. The people in their family do not engage in power tricks or politics, and are obsessed with articles. The Songlin Academy, founded by his ancestors, is a place that scholars all over the world yearn for. A pine forest academy, no one wants to be an enemy of the Meng family.

Meng's father, Meng Yang, was the previous director of Pine Forest Academy. The time of his tenure was the heyday of Songlin Academy. Half of the officials in the imperial court came from the Songlin Academy.

After the old lady Fu Zhishi, Dean Meng also unloaded the burden. passed the position of dean to his eldest son Meng Qiuyan. I planted flowers, read books, and went to the old lady to play chess when I had nothing to do. Wen Zisheng is his closed disciple.
