No one spread the rumor, it was impossible for Gu Langzhong to say it himself, Zhang filtered the people present at the time one by one in his mind, the three concubines didn't have the courage to go against her, and the people in Liuluo Courtyard didn't leave the house, so there were only ...... That slut in the West Courtyard!

Liu's!

It's her, it must be her!

Shen Jinqiu saw something and asked softly, "Mother, do you already know who spread it?" Isn't it Shen Yinqiu? She's not afraid to ruin her reputation?! ”

Cuiyun hurriedly explained: "Miss, Gu Langzhong has no one from our Shen Mansion in this matter. ”

Zhang shook his head, suspicious in his heart, "If they didn't get involved with our Shen Mansion, what did they do in front of Mrs. Ben?" ”

Cuiyun frowned and said, "Because the reason why Gu Langzhong was ridiculed is that it is...... said that he could diagnose whether an unmarried woman who left the cabinet was perfect, this matter coincided with what happened to us that day, and now Mrs. Gu Langzhong is like crazy and asks us to give an explanation, otherwise all the privacy of our Shen Mansion will be spread. The slave and maid have comforted her for the time being, and now she has come to ask Madame for instructions on what to do next. ”

The Zhang family had a headache, the matter must have been caused by the people in the house, and Gu Langzhong did know a lot of things. He can't get along in Beijing, so it's inevitable that he will be a little crazy.

Shen Jinqiu just looked at her mother, and she didn't know how to deal with these things. Zhang asked, "Are they here to ask for silver?" ”

Cuiyun said: "No, Mrs. Gu is always crying, and wants our Prime Minister's Mansion to come forward to clear up these rumors for them." ”

"It's impossible, now that he is being attacked by everyone, we can't come forward. Mother, it's better to give him a sum of money and let them go somewhere else to make a living, if they don't want to, use the power of the Prime Minister's Mansion to coerce them, and a common man with a common name dares to do right with his father? ”

Zhang's hearing was reasonable, he thought for a while, and said: "It's still my baby who is smart, Cuiyun will give five thousand taels to Gu Langzhong, let them leave the capital quickly, this matter will not be seen by the Prime Minister's Mansion." ”

Cuiyun will do things and be ordered to retreat.

Shen Jinqiu and Zhang's got tired of being crooked for a while, the picture of mother-daughter affection, after a while, Zhang suddenly remembered something, took Shen Jinqiu into the room, took out a fragrant post from the makeup and said: "Nannan, this is an invitation sent by the general's mansion girl, my mother has prepared new clothes and jewelry for you, you have a good rest today, and tomorrow I will go to the general's mansion for my mother to behave well." ”

Shen Jinqiu's eyes lit up and he stretched out his hand to take the invitation, the General's Mansion! That's the noble circle of the family! When you go, you can make a lot of friends with the daughters of the family. She didn't have time to get excited when she saw that the invitation was written, and the ladies of the Prime Minister's Mansion were invited to come with their faces.

Ladies......

Wouldn't she be the only one?!

"Mother, those sisters-in-law are also going?" Shen Jinqiu's excitement faded, and when she traveled with those sisters, she felt that she had lowered her status as a concubine.

Knowing the daughter Mo Ruo's mother, how can the Zhang family not see her daughter's careful thoughts, the concubine and the sister-in-law are naturally different, she comforted: "Don't be annoyed, with them can bring out your beauty and your value even more." ”

Shen Jinqiu suddenly came through, showed a delicate smile, and seemed to be a little embarrassed to say: "It's still my mother's long-term thinking, and my daughter has to reflect and reflect." ”

Zhang's family was reluctant to let his daughter be wronged, and hugged him and said some good things.

In the afternoon, all the courtyards in the house were basically taking a lunch break, and the Zhang family chose to send people to send those clothes and jewelry to the various concubines' courtyards at this time.

Shen Yinqiu had fallen asleep, and her mood was not very good, because the taste of lunch was still very bad! The cooks refused even the money that came to their door. Afraid that someone above was threatening them, Shen Yinqiu was very disdainful of these small methods.

When she was in Jiangnan Liufu, because she was Miss Cousin, she didn't like it, and she was treated like this, but she was taken by her grandmother after just one meal, and the special small kitchen meal was picked up how delicious it was.

Hey, Shen Yinqiu woke up from his sleep, it was still pitch black in front of him, and he didn't open his eyes, seriously feeling the sound outside.

I don't know when these eyes will be good, Shen Yinqiu sat up from the bed and found that there was no one inside. Frowning slightly, Qianguang and Qianyun both knew that she liked someone to rest by her side, how could no one be there?

She didn't have to wait long before she heard Sisso's footsteps, accompanied by the muffled conversation of Chikko and Chikumo.

"Qianguang, Madame is too much, how can I go to the plum appreciation banquet before the young lady's body has healed."

"We can't resist Madame's order, but the old slave didn't have a good attitude when he sent the case, so he turned his face and didn't recognize anyone for a long time."

"Don't worry about dogs. Or do we understand that the young lady is unhappy and excuses her not to go? ”

"I'm afraid it won't work, you saw the face of the old slave just now, and I always feel that this is a conspiracy."

They stepped into the room, looked up and saw the figure sitting in the bed tent, immediately put down the things in their hands, stepped forward and said guiltily: "Miss, you are awake, Mrs. Fang Cai sent someone to take the message, so that we left for a while." ”

As the bed tent was lifted, Shen Yinqiu felt a slight wind blowing towards her, she shook her head to indicate that it didn't matter, and wondered, "What kind of plum banquet?" ”

Qianguang said: "The General's Mansion sent an invitation to invite the ladies of the Shen Mansion to attend the banquet, and Mrs. sent someone to send clothes and jewelry, meaning that Miss should also go, but Miss is now inconvenient for her eyes, and Mrs. seems to be deliberately embarrassed." ”

Shen Yinqiu said after a while: "It is said that the general's wife likes plum very much, so the general specially asked people to plant a lot of plum trees in the general's courtyard. ”

Qianguang and Qianyun were speechless for a while before they said worriedly: "Miss, do you think about it...... Go ahead? ”

"Go, doesn't Mother mean that she wants me to show jokes to others? I haven't communicated with the ladies in Beijing for so long since I returned to Beijing, they laughed at me, and I admired the plums from the top of my own, and each took what he needed."

Qianyun had a bitter face, and his words were a little too much: "Our master is also a young lady, why do you want to rush to make fun for others?" ”

Qianguang pulled her by the hand, glared and said, How can you say this master?

Shen Yinqiu didn't necessarily have the slightest anger, tilted his head slightly and said innocently: "Because we don't have a choice for the time being, let's go and listen to what the nobles in Beijing say about me." It's nice to be able to go out and get some fresh air. ”

Qianguang Qianyun couldn't shake the master's thoughts, so she could only sigh sadly to prepare, and after a while, Qianyun was embarrassed: "Miss, the clothes sent by Madame are too simple, worse than what we usually wear." ”

Qianguang walked over and picked up the gold hairpin and looked at it, it was simple and unpretentious, and the style was not good, "Even the jewelry is very poor." ”

Shen Yinqiu yawned and smiled: "Wear our own clothes and bring our own jewelry, don't worry." ”

Qianguang threw all the jewelry back into the makeup, what pearl ears and gold hairpin tassels, vulgar! After putting away the eyesore, he opened the wardrobe and took out the new clothes he had just made and said, "I didn't expect this style of clothing to come in handy so quickly." ”

Shen Yinqiu couldn't see it, but he was still relieved when he heard Qianguang Qianyun's satisfied tone. She sat on the edge of the bed and dangled a pair of feet as white as jade, and listened to the two maids discuss how to give her tomorrow with a smile on the corner of her mouth. Because there is a charcoal basin burning in the house, I don't feel cold.

Not to mention that this Liuluo courtyard was dissatisfied with the clothes and jewelry sent by the Zhang family, but the other courtyards were very happy with the new clothes and new jewelry, especially when they heard that they were going to the general's mansion tomorrow to enjoy the plums, several concubines were even more excited.

Shen Xuerong, who had an aunt, Shen Xueqing hurriedly went to ask Aunt Li for something, and Shen Xueshan, who did not have an aunt, looked at the clothes and jewelry sent by the Zhang family with a smile, of course she didn't dare to speak to the Zhang family, these clothes and skirts don't look bad, but unfortunately compared with Shen Jinqiu's, it is simply the difference between heaven and earth. The Zhang family wanted them all to become Shen Jinqiu's green leaves, but although she understood her intentions, she had to cooperate, which really made people want to ruin Shen Jinqiu.

After a busy afternoon, all the concubines were summoned by Mrs. Shen at dinner time.

Shen Yinqiu originally thought that this was just an ordinary plum appreciation meeting, and the general's wife was bored and wanted to find someone to have a lively time with. Now listening to Old Madam Shen's meaning, this is not a simple banquet.

Old Madam Shen swept Shen Yinqiu and the others one by one with sharp eyes, except for Shen Yinqiu who seemed to be unconscious, Shen Xuerong and the others lowered their heads in fear, looking very obedient.

Old Madam Shen was satisfied, her eyes fell on Shen Yinqiu again, she snorted heavily, and finally said: "You all go to the General's Mansion tomorrow to enjoy the plum blossoms, everyone with status and status will be present at that time, what to say and what not to say is that you have a number in your heart, if you lose the face of the Prime Minister's Mansion, you don't have to come back to the Shen family!" ”

Don't look at how horizontal Shen Xuerong and the others are in front of Shen Yinqiu, they will wilt against the Zhang family and Mrs. Shen. At this time, his heart was even more frightened by this heavy sentence, and he nodded busily.

Shen Yinqiu also responded unhurriedly, and it was very prominent in the nervous voices of Shen Xuerong and others.

Old Madam Shen's artillery fire immediately fell on her, "Shen Yinqiu, your bad temper will be restrained for me after you go to the General's Mansion!" If there is anything to say, you! You have been punished a hundred times for stealing women's rings! If you stay in Jiangnan and don't know the rules of the capital, you're blind anyway, so don't speak. ”

As soon as these words came out, Shen Xuerong and the others, who were originally trained by Mrs. Shen and didn't dare to speak, all snickered.

Shen Yinqiu also smiled slightly, and said very obediently: "Okay." ”

Mrs. Shen's pebbles were thrown into the lake and there were no waves, so she dismissed them early without thinking, and left Zhang and Shen Jinqiu, everyone with eyes knew that this was to teach Shen Jinqiu privately, Shen Xuerong and Shen Xueqing did not look a little dissatisfied, as if this was a very normal thing, not only would they not be dissatisfied, but they also stared at Shen Xueshan who walked very slowly with a slight warning: "Don't want to eavesdrop on anything, that's what grandmother and mother said to the eldest sister!" ”

Shen Yinqiu walked slowly because he couldn't see at all, and it was a little strange to hear the voices of the two sisters Shen Xuerong, it seemed that the Zhang family had brainwashed these two concubines very thoroughly.
