Chapter Twenty-Six: A Guest Comes to the Door (Weekend Plus Chapter)
The little servant went in response, and the Li family hurriedly instructed Aunt Chen to change Shen Zhen's clothes, and asked Tian's mother to hug her and go back: "The master has a guest." ”
Dashe looked at Shen Zhen timidly.
But Shen Zhen had already turned around and left.
Aunt Chen's expression sank, and she hurriedly followed Shen Zhen.
When Tian's mother saw it, she hurriedly hugged the weeping Dashe and retreated.
Shen Yuerong's disappointment could not be concealed. This was the second time she had seen Shen Zhen. The first time, she only had time to salute, and this time, she was also going to find a chance to talk about herself.
Only Li, with a faint smile on the corner of his mouth, asked Shen Muqing: "Do you know the person who came to visit?" ”
Shen Muqing said with a smile: "Lord Ye Suye is the one who sent the letter to our family that day. ”
Li nodded: "Then I have to thank you." ”
Shen Muqing responded in his mouth, but he thought in his heart how to find an excuse to go to the flower hall to take a sneak peek.
As a result, as soon as Shen Zhen left on the front foot, a little maid came in on the back foot: "Madam, Mrs. Dingyuan Marquis is visiting." ”
Li and Shen Muqing were both slightly taken aback.
Liang Bogong, the eldest son of Liang Yuan, Marquis of Dingyuan, married Wen Hui, the sixth queen of Wang Shengyun, and Wang Shengyun and Shen Zhen have always been a little out of place, so although the relationship between Liang and Shen is good, it cannot be called close. The wife of the Marquis of Dingyuan, Feng, the eldest daughter of Feng Jie, the Marquis of Deqing, was a well-known virtuous lady in the circle of noblewomen in Kyoto, and her Derong speech was praised by the Empress Dowager in front of the concubines and princesses of the harem. She has always been a door-to-door. Today is not a New Year or a holiday, how could she come to the house as a guest?
Li Shi wondered in his heart, but he didn't dare to slack off at all.
As an official in the same dynasty, there is also a three, six, nine and so on. This Liang family has a knighthood, and it belongs to the super product, compared to Shen Zhen's first grade, the status is always higher.
Li hurriedly instructed Wang's mother to invite people to the open hall of Chaoxi Hall to serve tea, while he combed his hair and changed his clothes under the service of Aunt Chen and Orange Xiang, and welcomed him out.
Shen Muqing's eyes wandered, and after a few words of entertainment with Shen Yuerong, he took Luomei back to Anyuan.
She took off her red carved silk and wore a flower gown, put a blue-green silk cotton armor on the outside of her white silk jacket, and did not let Luomei and Zhuji follow, and walked out of Anyuan alone from the corner gate.
Shen Muqing was going to the flower hall in the outer courtyard to see what kind of face Xiao Sa would look like in front of Shen Zhen - no matter what, Shen Zhen was also a "member of the Politburo Standing Committee", so she didn't believe that Xiao Sa, a fifteen or sixteen-year-old boy, would not have a trace of timidity when he encountered it......
Luo Mei and Zhu Ji saw the excited expression on Shen Muqing's face, which was very different from the usual indifference, and they were secretly surprised in their hearts. The two exchanged a look, and lightly followed Shen Muqing from a distance.
As soon as Shen Muqing walked to the second door, Qi's mother ran over panting: "Girl, girl, Mrs. asked you to go to the open hall to serve tea!" After taking a closer look, he saw Shen Muqing wearing a armor worn by a maid, and his tone couldn't help but become anxious: "Mrs. Dingyuan Marquis wants to see you!" ”
Kyoto is also a palm-sized place, and there are only these wealthy ministers who come and go, and she doesn't want to lose face because of a cup of tea.
Shen Muqing hurriedly folded back, put on the big red gown again, and wore a hairpin ring to serve tea to the Feng family.
Fung celebrated his 39th birthday this summer. She is tall, beautiful, gentle, and dignified, and at first glance she is the kind of lady who was born into a famous family and married into a wealthy family.
She saw that Shen Muqing's eyes were extremely gentle, smiled and took the tea offered by Shen Muqing, took a sip symbolically, and then put it on the coffee table on the side, took a bracelet from her hand and handed it to Shen Muqing: "Seeing the girl is also a temporary idea-although things are ordinary, they are opened by Master Jinghui." ”
Li listened movingly.
This Jinghui Master is one of the few high-ranking monks today, and even the Queen Mother claims to be a disciple of his seat, and her identity is unspeakably precious. Where could he be the ordinary thing.
"Madame is too polite, I don't dare to accept such a valuable thing!" Li hurriedly excused himself.
Feng Shi smiled: "The girl is twelve years old this year, the same year as our family Youhui...... This pretty appearance makes people happy when they see it, and Madame, don't say any more kind words, it will be too outward. ”
When the rich and noble meet, there is already the etiquette of giving a meeting gift to the little characters, and the words of the two are also polite words on the scene.
Li raised his chin slightly towards Shen Muqing, and Shen Muqing stepped forward to thank Feng Quei, and then took the bracelet.
Because it was said that Master Jinghui had opened the light, Shen Muqing couldn't help but take a closer look when he took it.
The bracelet is all made of lotus seeds and rice-like uniform size tourmaline jade strings, and every twelve are inlaid with a thumb-sized pink jade lotus, the lotus workmanship is extremely exquisite, not to mention the stamens made of yellow jade, that is, the faint veins on the lotus petals are carved out. It is by no means a temporary meeting gift, as Feng said.
Just when Shen Muqing looked at the bracelet, Li Shi had already said apologetically: "Mrs. Lao Fu sent me the Tianshan Snow Lotus, and now she is giving the girl such a valuable meeting gift......
Feng's smile was gentle: "Last time I heard Master Hou say that Madame was in poor health, I wanted to come and see Madame." Coincidentally, I bumped into our family's young favor to worship Ma Niangniang, and I was afraid that I would get sick, so I dragged it to today. ”
Li Shi hurriedly said with concern: "It's okay now...... When our girl was seven years old, she worshiped Ma Niangniang, which frightened our whole family. ”
Feng nodded and smiled: "She's fine." But something happened at home again. ”
Li Shi looked like he was listening.
Feng Shi said in a low voice: "My second daughter-in-law, I have it." ”
"Oops!" Li's face was full of joy, "This is a great joy. ”
Feng Shi also smiled: "No, I have been looking forward to it for five years before I can ...... Because it was the first few months, I didn't dare to move anywhere, so I watched her at home. Out of March, I dared to go out. I came to the house first. ”
Regarding the matter of Liang Shuxin, the second young master of the Liang family, Shen Muqing also heard about it.
Liang Yuan, Marquis of Dingyuan, had three sons and two daughters, and after Liang Bogong and Wang Wenhui got married, they gave birth to two sons in three years, and Liang Yuan couldn't close his mouth; The second son Liang Shuxin has been married for five years, and there is no movement at all, when Feng's birthday, I heard that Liang Shuxin is arguing for this to divorce his wife, but I didn't expect that in the autumn, the situation will come to a big reversal.
Li Shi hurriedly congratulated.
Feng Shi sighed and said with emotion: "If I hadn't pressed this, it would have dispersed a long time ago." I'm not afraid of your jokes when I say it. I suffered this sin when I was young, and my daughter-in-law will never be allowed to suffer this sin. I don't care about other people's sons. But the son of our family, those messy people are never allowed to press on the head of the wife. ”
She said this for a reason.
Not long after Liang Yuan entered the door of the Feng family, he accepted a girl surnamed Liu as a concubine, and the eldest son Liang Bogong and eldest daughter Liang Zhongkuan were both born to this Aunt Liu. And not long after Liang Bogong married Wang Wenhui, he accepted a concubine of Qin Wei, the Duke of Fuyang, as a concubine, and Liang Bogong's second son was born to this concubine, and the difference between the eldest son and the second son was less than a year old. For a while, this matter was widely spread in the upper circles of Kyoto.
However, hasn't she always had a good name?! Everyone is not very familiar with each other, how could she say such a thing at this time.
Shen Muqing was secretly surprised.
Li Shi was also quite surprised, but she remained silent and just followed Feng's words.
"As the saying goes, a man who has no children is really childless. What's the matter with us women? When ordinary people see that they don't come out for three or five years, they clamore for concubines, and women don't have a chance. ”
"That's exactly what happened!" Feng Shi looked at Li's gaze and hated each other, "At that time, I just didn't agree to let Shu Xin carry the room around him as a concubine, let alone divorce his wife......"
The two of them chattered about this topic for a long time, until Li Shi's face became tired, and Feng Shi said goodbye.
Li and Shen Muqing sent Feng to Ermen, and then Shen Muqing's mother sent Feng to Jiaomen.
Feng got into the carriage and took Shen Muqing's hand: "Your mother only has you, it's strange and cold." If you're idle, go to our house. ”
Shen Muqing responded with a smile, and Feng got into the carriage.
Back in Chaoxi Hall, Li was already crooked on the kang near the window in the west room, and there was a black lacquer and gold fade box on the kang table.
When Li saw Shen Muqing looking at the box, he smiled and said, "It was said that Master Hou asked her to send it." ”
Shen Muqing opened the box and saw a few white flowers like ruined gardenias, and she couldn't help but say, "This is the Tianshan Snow Lotus!" It turned out that what she saw in the book was something crystal clear and clear.
Li smiled and asked Wang's mother to take the box to the warehouse.
Wang's mother smiled and said, "Count the days, Mr. Liu should also come, it is better to take it out and show it to him and use it in medicine." ”
Li smiled: "If you want to take it, you will take it - why waste it." ”
Mother Wang naturally didn't dare to be disobedient, but Shen Muqing's heart skipped a beat when she heard it, and she was about to persuade Li to say a few words, but Shen Zhen turned back.
Shen Muqing was taken aback: "Did the guest leave so quickly?" ”
Aunt Chen stepped forward to change Shen Zhen's clothes, and Shen Zhen said lightly: "I drank two cups of tea with me." ”
Shen Muqing chuckled.
What kind of person is Shen Zhen, it is already very face-saving to let him drink two cups of tea with him.
Li said with concern: "Anyway, it also helped our girl, but you can't let the girl lose face." ”
Shen Zhen replied absentmindedly, and replied unexpectedly: "I didn't expect that Xiao Sa to be a descendant of the Xiao family in Lincheng, Shanxi. ”
Shen Muqing thought of Manager Wang's expression when he mentioned Ye Su and the Xiao family's business, and couldn't help but say: "Is the Xiao family in Lincheng, Shanxi very famous?" ”
"Hmm!" Shen Zhen groaned, "Of the four major businessmen, the Xiao family is at the bottom and is the richest man in Shanxi. But I see, but not necessarily...... Since he is studying in Guozijian, he should be the son of Xiao Qian, the fourth elder of the Xiao family, and in their generation, only Xiao Qian is the only one...... Unexpectedly, the Xiao family actually produced such a beautiful child......"
No wonder that guy's waist is so straight, and he dares to love the silver!
But to be praised by Shen Zhen, it can be regarded as a rare among the younger generation.
Shen Muqing thought of the inscription on the Analects.
From this point of view, Xiao Sa's biological father must be a businessman, for the sake of his son's future, so he passed him under the name of the fourth uncle who has already become a leader, otherwise, how could he be a candidate......
