Chapter 1 A Woman Returns

Next Chapter

During the autumn harvest, the rich Jiangnan is busy. Shen Yinqiu, as a young lady who grew up in Liu's Mansion, was walking in the back garden with a gloomy expression at this time, and her steps were as slow as a turtle, moving forward little by little.

Qianyun, the maidservant girl beside her, had already divided one step into five steps, and seeing that it was getting dark, she couldn't help but say, "Miss, we have already walked a stick of incense in the back garden......"

Shen Yinqiu was wearing a water-colored silk satin dress, with a few emerald bamboo leaves looming on the skirt. The girl's hair is combed in a bun on her head, a few strands of her shoulders are hanging as embellishments, and the top of her hair is obliquely inserted with a red hairpin, and there are three crystal clear pearls hanging on it, which corresponds to the pair of water-cut eyes under the bangs, which is more and more pitiful.

Looking down further, there are still some immature facial features that are incomprehensible in beauty, jade-like temperament, transparent and elegant, and a slight smile is like a falling fairy, which makes people feel good.

However, the beauty was in a bad mood, pursed her lips and gloomed, she glanced around, and stopped without finding anyone else, so she stopped and whispered, "I don't want to see my grandmother." ”

Qianyun was surprised, "Miss, I'm going to the capital in the afternoon, although I understand that Miss is reluctant to let the old lady go, but you can't see it." ”

Her young lady has been taken by the old lady since she was a child and grew up, and the lady of the nominal watch is deeply favored by the old lady, but she eats, drinks and dresses well. Knowledge and talent are unique, even if he fights wits and courage with Miss Fuzhong, he has never been wronged.

When Shen Yinqiu heard the word capital, his expression was indifferent without a trace of yearning: "The Shen Mansion will pick up the cheap, my grandmother has worked hard to raise me so much, they said that the second miss has passed her fourteenth birthday, and it is time to find her mother-in-law's family, so she wants me to go back." ”

But they had never asked her before.

Qianyun also knew how unbearable the situation was when she went back to the Shen Mansion, but even the old lady couldn't interfere in this matter. She also wanted to comfort her master in a whisper, but she didn't want her master to straighten her waist and sweep away the gloom, with a modest and polite smile on her face, and the usual model of beauty was back.

I only heard a voice pretending to be surprised from the front and said, "Eh, my cousin is still here." My sister thought her cousin had gone back to her house. ”

The deep meaning reflected in the words, Shen Yinqiu listened to it a lot, she smiled at the corner of her mouth, and said with a little doubt: "Third cousin, grandmother said that before I left, let the sisters in the house get together, this is ...... Didn't the third cousin receive a message from her grandmother? ”

If she says no, doesn't she admit that she is not from Fuzhong? Liu Yulin's heart is blocked, she is also a concubine, she is the granddaughter of the old lady, and Shen Yinqiu is just a poor worm in her home! But this poor creature was favored by the old lady, and lived better than all of them......

Now that she is finally going back, she wants to see if she goes back to the Shen family, Shen Yinqiu still smiled and came out, hum.

Thinking of this, Liu Yulin smiled in a good mood: "Grandmother naturally sent someone to pass the word, don't everyone go to grandmother's yard?" ”

Shen Yinqiu bowed his head, turned to look at Liu Yulin with a worried look and said: "Since I know that my grandmother said that the sisters got together, I was so surprised that I was still in the house, and the third cousin will definitely ask a doctor to take a look when she turns around, she is so forgetful at a young age, what can I do if I become dementia in the future." At the end, he said: "Loyal to the ear, I hope the third cousin doesn't mind." ”

After saying that, he crossed her, and she was in a bad mood and didn't want to say more. But it's strange today, she hasn't taken two steps yet, and there is another unhappy one in front of her. Shen Yinqiu stopped, a smile on his face.

Xu learned that she left today, thinking that if she didn't take revenge, she wouldn't have a chance, right?

Shen Yinqiu looked at her eldest cousin Liu Ziqi generously, her grandmother taught her that she should be small when she should bow her head, and not be polite when she should be strong, for example, in this Shen Mansion, if someone is not happy to find you, just find it back. She's still alive.

Shen Yinqiu grew up in this kind of environment where her father doesn't love her mother, and she only has her grandmother's warm heart, of course, no matter how much she is favored, she is not blinded, and she can see her identity clearly, unless others take the initiative to trouble her, otherwise she will always keep to herself.

In front of Shen Yinqiu, her daughter-in-law Liu Ziqi picked up a handkerchief and gently wiped away the non-existent tears from the corners of her eyes, and said with a reluctant expression: "Cousin, I heard that you left the house and returned to Beijing today, we are all very sad. The wheels of the car should also be paid attention to, once the rain rains, the road collapses, the wheels are stuck, and the wilderness is called every day, and the earth is not spiritual, and the earth is not working, and suffering. If you go to the capital, no matter how your aunt and uncle treat you, you have to serve in front of you and get a good reputation, if your reputation is bad, it may be difficult to marry. ”

Shen Yinqiu looked at her eldest cousin and really fought hard today, in the past, for the sake of image, even if she wanted to fix her, she always relied on the hands of others. Now he is in battle to vent his grievances.

Shen Yinqiu was very pleased, she generally didn't hold grudges, and at this time she was embarrassed: "Big cousin, there is a sentence I don't know if to say or not......"

Liu Ziqi instantly put away her reluctance, looked at her deeply and said firmly: "No need to talk about it!" ”

Shen Yinqiu couldn't bear it: "Big cousin, you-"

"Yihua, the old lady has been waiting for us for a long time, let's go see the old lady quickly." Liu Ziqi interrupted Shen Yinqiu's words, turned around and left, when she said those words, she was completely comfortable! Where can you still give the other party a chance to turn the tables.

Qianyun was a protector, and shouted out for Shen Yinqiu, "Eldest lady stay, you are too sad, when you wipe the corners of your eyes with a handkerchief, your makeup is ......."

At this moment, everyone became the background, Liu Ziqi looked at the maid beside her, needless to say, from the other party's widened pupils, she already saw the dirt at the corner of her left eye, so dazzling! Her pridefulness just now instantly turned into shame.

Shen Yinqiu looked at her slightly flickering back, raised her lips and smiled: "Presumably, my cousin heard that my sister left today, and she was in a hurry, so she went out in a hurry." There is still some time now, and the eldest cousin can go to touch up the makeup first, which can make the eldest cousin value it so much, and the younger sister is so moved. ”

Liu Ziqi's hateful teeth itched, but he didn't want to use this dignity to meet people again, covered his face and scolded the maid beside him fiercely, and left quickly.

Shen Yinqiu's eyebrows rose, turned to face Liu Yulin, who was stunned, and gave her a big smile without hesitation, with brisk steps.

Of course, on the way, I met a few sisters who stumbled, Shen Yinqiu gently and gently came to her grandmother's side, and before anyone shouted, she stepped forward and hugged the old man affectionately.

"Grandmother ......"

Old Mrs. Liu hurt Shen Yinqiu the most, so much so that others didn't dare to say that Shen Yinqiu was not good in front of her. She caressed her granddaughter's back and said lovingly, "Why did you come so late, grandmother has been waiting for you for a long time." ”

"I'm going to the capital in the afternoon, it's a long journey, and my grandmother has found twenty bodyguards to escort me, all of whom have signed a deed of sale, so you can use it with confidence. Everything has been explained to Qianguang, the first car gift is for the Shen family's elders, the latter car is for the juniors, and the rest is for you. You have to put it away carefully, don't grieve yourself. Be careful when you arrive at the Shen family, you are a smart child, and your grandmother is waiting for you to come back to visit in the future. Be obedient. ”

The old man spoke softly, and his eyes slowly moistened. Shen Yinqiu hurriedly clinged to her and assured; "Grandmother relax, even if I am a concubine, I am also the second lady of the Prime Minister's Mansion, it will be fine, my aunt is not useful, I still have a grandmother!"

Mrs. Liu remembered the vicissitudes of life when she thought of Shen Yinqiu's biological mother, the eldest son and the second son held important positions as officials in the court, the youngest son was rich in business, and her daughter had a good background and was top-notch, but she wanted to marry a talented man who already had a family as a concubine!

Even if that talented man has been a prime minister for more than ten years, she is still an aunt, and she is evil.

Shen Yinqiu knew that her grandmother thought of something sad, so she quickly changed the topic and said, "It's about to be winter in a blink of an eye, grandmother needs to keep warm." If you're sick, Yinqiu isn't feeling well. ”

"Nonsense!" Mrs. Liu straightened her face, but she couldn't stop the love in her eyes.

When the ladies of the Liu Mansion came in, they saw this scene, which was very eye-catching, and they were extremely resentful of Shen Yinqiu but did not dare to show it. stepped forward one by one to say hello to Mrs. Liu, made a sisterly appearance and gave a gift to Shen Yinqiu to say goodbye.

This gift is not much, Shen Yinqiu snuggled up to the old lady, took it one by one and thanked him, and from time to time said a few touching words to add to the other party's blockage, which was a return gift.

It's not that Mrs. Liu doesn't love other granddaughters, but she prefers Shen Yinqiu in comparison, not to mention that Shen Yinqiu is the only child of her only daughter, just because she brought it up, the feelings are deep.

said that the sisters gathered together, but in fact, Mrs. Liu cared about Shen Yinqiu and told her endlessly, and the rest of the young ladies secretly slandered themselves, if the resentment could be substantiated, Shen Yinqiu would have been pressed into a cake long ago.

Shen Yinqiu listened to her grandmother's voice, and the ripples of reluctance to leave widened more and more, but reason told her that she had no choice. In fact, for these cousins, she also wants to get along very much, but her identity is an insurmountable gap, and she can only stand up straight and smile against their contempt. When they spoke to her, she went back.

It was not early, and Mrs. Liu and Shen Yinqiu were reluctant to get up and leave the house under the reminder of the housekeeper.

There were five carriages at the gate of Liu's mansion, each of which was guarded by four bodyguards. Except for the third carriage, which was particularly spacious and atmospheric, the rest were full of goods.

Mrs. Liu personally sent Shen Yinqiu to the carriage, and naturally followed by a group of female dependents, perfunctorily saying to take care.

Shen Yinqiu turned around and hugged Mrs. Liu gently, lowered her eyelids to hide her tears, and decisively got into the car, without dragging her feet at all.

The carriage slowly departed under the watchful eyes of the old lady, and finally disappeared into the street.

It wasn't until she left Jiangnan that Shen Yinqiu cheered up, and the four maidservants who were waiting for her breathed a sigh of relief. Those who serve tea serve tea, and those who hand snacks nod.

Shen Yinqiu filled her stomach with snacks, put down the teacup, and muttered with her bored hand on her chin: "I don't know if my aunt has been doing well over the years." ”

Qianguang Qianyun was not optimistic about the aunt who had heard of it a little, and she didn't dare to say more, so she lowered her head and paid full attention. Qianshui dozed off, Qianyu read, and no one answered for a moment.

Shen Yinqiu rolled his fingers around his ears, imagining the accident that would occur when he went to the capital. This time I went back to get married, so I don't know how I will toss.

The carriage walked for six days to arrive in the capital, although Jiangnan is rich, it is not as prosperous as the capital, Shen Yinqiu lifted the window curtain and looked out, just staring at the passers-by who were watching the carriage outside, and quickly put down the window cloth in fright. Try to take a deep breath and remember the rules of everyone's ladies.

After passing through the bustling streets, the surroundings gradually quieted down, and the carriage stopped, and the bodyguards outside said respectfully: "Miss, the Shen Mansion has arrived." ”

Qianguang had a calm face, and asked Qianyun Qianshui to tidy up the lady's clothes, and he got out of the car first to find out.

At first glance, Qianguang saw a lot of carriages parked on both sides of the gate of Liu's Mansion, and he was stunned, could it be that there are guests in Shen's Mansion today? The bodyguard was already matching his identity with the little guy at the gate of the Shen Mansion.

Shen Yinqiu was helped out of the car by the maidservant, swept around the unfamiliar door in front of her, and said in a low voice: "Qianguang, the housekeeper has no ...... Pick it up at the door? ”

She doesn't expect her family to greet her. It's just that he didn't even have a housekeeper, and his mood was very delicate.

Chiko pursed her lips and shook her head slightly.

After a while, the bodyguard came back sweating profusely and said, "Miss, the doorman of the Shen family said that today the Shen family invited many noble female dependents, and the master was entertaining inside, and the housekeeper was also busy, so he had to wait for a stick of incense." ”

This bodyguard of the Liu Mansion is naturally of the same heart as Shen Yinqiu, and even the little guy was directly called a gatekeeper by him, which shows that he is angry.

Qianguang frowned, and her beautiful face gradually became gloomy, what does this Shen Mansion mean? No matter how bad it is, if you don't look at the face of Liu Fu, her young lady is also the young lady of the Shen family! Is such deliberate neglect a disadvantage?

Shen Yinqiu pondered for a while and looked up and said, "It's okay, I'm going home instead of being a guest." ”

Qianguang hesitated a little: "Miss means to go in directly?" "But wouldn't it be a bit rude to do this, once you get caught wrong, it won't be good for Miss's reputation.
