Chapter 35: First Strike

Ling'er and Ping'er still didn't know that Shen Lixing was standing outside the door, Ping'er saw that Ling'er was so angry, and frowned: "Miss thinks she has died once, so she is not afraid of anything to say about his wife, since she hit her head, Miss has become very smart, haven't you noticed, General Su's matter, Miss doesn't care, all she cares about is whether her husband will take a concubine." ”

"It's better to take a concubine than to be killed!" Ling'er whispered a scold.

"You must not say anything in front of Miss in the future, Miss has asked General Su that his wife hanged herself and died, and it is none of General Su's business; Besides, Miss said that when she was eighteen, if General Su only married her, she would marry him, this is still early, she is so smart, do you need to worry about it? Ping'er was indifferent, she felt that if Su Qian could really not accept a concubine, it would be a good thing for the young lady.

"......" Ling'er was speechless.

"I can tell you, Miss is very measured, you don't charge in front of her, if you annoy Miss one day, don't blame me for not reminding you."

"How can I annoy her? Isn't it all for her good? Ling'er was not convinced.

"If you meddle with the young lady's business, she may not be really annoyed; Didn't you see the way she hugged and cried when you saw General Su that day? It really scared me, General Su must have been the person of her dreams, otherwise he wouldn't have been like that at the time. That being the case, if you stop her from liking General Su, she will drive you away in a fit of anger and see what you do," Ping'er said seriously.

"It really doesn't matter? What if something bad comes out? Ling'er was worried about something else.

"If you don't say it, I won't say it, who knows? I don't think even if there are any unpleasant words, Miss is not necessarily afraid, and it is not uncommon for her to marry General Su in advance. "Ping'er is much calmer than Ling'er, and she has already figured out Gao Shiman's temper.

"Ah, that'...... Then we have to be careful," Ling'er was in a hurry when she heard this.

When Shen Lixing heard this, he quietly turned around and went back to the courtyard.

Ding Shan has been a lot more honest since the incident with Hong Qiao last time, and he followed Shen Lixing silently, and when he saw him staying outside the courtyard, he also stood far away. I saw Shen Lixing stand for a while, then turned his head back, thinking that he had forgotten something, so he followed him back quietly.

Shen Lixing entered the study with a straight face, sat down on the chair, took a long breath, frowned, closed his eyes and sat there in meditation.

Ding Shan didn't dare to let the girl send the tea anymore, so he sent the tea in, and saw Shen Lixing leaning on the chair with a straight face and closing his eyes, putting down the tea and slipping out.

Shen Lixing really didn't expect this person to be Su Qian. In the past, they were in the same army, and they had a friendship with each other, but this year they were transferred back to Beijing at the same time, and his grandmother begged Wei Hou to stay in Beijing on the grounds that he wanted to marry a wife.

I really didn't expect Shiman's girl to fall in love with Su Qian, what is so good about Su Qian, the other party died once, and the wife died once she got married, not to mention whether this wife is true or false, which woman is not filthy? She's good, she actually said that she would marry her at the age of eighteen! Even the jade pendant was accepted! The order of her parents, the words of the matchmaker, how dare she give it privately, it is simply unreasonable!

Thinking about it, Shen Lixing's fists clenched. For so many years, he has seen enough of Yingying Yanyan's flattering and petting face beside him, only Du Yuxin, silently serving his mother for many years, her gentleness, her pettiness, her forbearance, he saw it all in his eyes, his mother asked him to accept her, he agreed without saying a word, so many years, Du Yu's heart still has nothing, he thinks that she must be afraid of the reason why he did not marry a wife in contraception, so he loves her even more.

He thought that what he loved was this kind of bird-like woman, and he had never thought about marrying anyone in the army, just thinking that if he didn't marry a wife, he would let Du Yuxin give birth to a few children for him. How do you know that as soon as I returned to the capital, I met Gao Shiman, a girl who was completely different from her childhood, sometimes coquettish, sometimes gentle, sometimes capable and sideways, and sometimes she had to be surprised by the horrific words that came out of her little mouth.

When he came back from the inner city, he couldn't calm down for a long time, and the girl slept soundly in his arms in a daze, and that attachment and trust made him really difficult to let go.

has never had this kind of emotion, even if he has intercourse with Du Yuxin, he is just a kind of grabbing satisfaction, not the heartbeat of seeing this girl again. This subtle feeling made him involuntarily want to get close to her, understand her, and control her.

For the first time, he felt the expectation of a woman, and it filled him with strength and the pride of being a man.

The girl said in front of him last time that if she married someone, it would be better to die and then reincarnate, although he was shocked at the time, but he always believed that she was just angry in her mouth, and it was not easy to die. If he marries her, he will promise her that he will not take a concubine in the mansion again, and it is troublesome to have more women, so he has no need to trouble himself.

In terms of life, status and wealth, if she marries him, it will be Gao Pan, originally he didn't have a little burden, he thought that he would just wait for her and Lu to go to Gaofu to ask for marriage, but he didn't expect this girl to be the main one herself and promise Su Qian. So what's so good about Su Qian? Nothing compares to him, he is still the master of a wife, why should he fight with him, what to rob him?

Thinking that Gao Shiman had privately accepted Su Qian's jade pendant, he felt a wave of depression rushing to his head. This girl is too bold, and she has no rules at all, I really don't know how Mrs. Gao taught her by word and deed, and raised such an ignorant daughter!

After thinking about it, the girl suffered a head injury some time ago, and her heart immediately softened, secretly thinking that her head injury had not recovered, and some of the taboos were forgivable, so she would teach it slowly in the future; But she likes Su Qian, and she really wants to open her brain to see what she is thinking.

After calming down, Shen Lixing thought about it carefully, it was useless for that dead girl to like Su Qian, except for that Aunt Lu in the Gao Mansion, no one would agree, and no matter how much Mrs. Gao loved her daughter, she would not let her in her life's affairs. If he and Su Qian asked to marry at the same time, the fool would not choose Su Qian.

Thinking about it like this, my heart is finally much more relaxed. Thinking about that girl's big idea, Su Qian didn't refuse her when she was old, and dared to give her a jade pendant, which was a little difficult to calm down.

Gao Shiman knew over there that Shen Lixing had scolded her many times, and went to the kitchen before dinner to show off his skills. Mrs. Shen treats her more affectionately than her own grandmother, and she has been wonderful in the past few days, so she naturally wants to make a table to honor the old man.

At dinnertime, the next person called Shen Lixing over. As soon as he came in, he saw Gao Shiman introducing the dishes to the people at the table with his eyebrows, he suppressed the unhappiness in his heart, sat down and said, "Heh, tonight is so rich." ”

"Brother, you taste that stinky fish, Shi Manfei said that it is delicious, I dare not eat it, you eat it first" Shen Lizhen pointed to the fish.

I touched the chopsticks and tasted a piece of fish, and secretly said that it was really amazing, and carefully took out the meat of the fish belly and put it on the plate in front of the old lady and said: "Grandmother, it's really delicious, you can eat it."

The old lady tasted it happily and praised: "Okay, Lizhen, let you learn if you don't learn, don't regret it in the future." ”

Shen Lizhen pursed her lips secretly when she heard this, and said in her heart Who wants to learn this.

Everyone ate happily, after eating, Gao Shiman was about to go home, Shen Lixing said: "I'll find someone to send you back" After speaking, he asked people to find Li Chong.

Li Chong saw that Shen Lixing had confessed to send Gao Shiman back to the house, and he didn't dare to slack off, so he sent a few guards to follow the carriage of Gao Mansion to send her back.

Shen Lixing turned back after arranging, helped the old lady out of the dining room, and sat down in the side hall of the room. The next person served tea, and the three of them drank tea and talked together.

"Lizhen, why don't you want to learn to cook?" Shen Lixing coldly used this topic to disgust his sister again.

"Yes, you don't need to cook every day when you learn it, you can do it once in a while," the old lady added fuel to the fire.

"Brother!" Shen Lizhen was so annoyed that she finally didn't mention it, why did her brother suddenly mention it again.

"Grandmother is right," Shen Lixing's face did not change.

Shen Lizhen put down the teacup and said angrily: "I'm going to sleep, go back first, grandmother and brother, you can talk slowly" Without waiting for anyone to agree, she turned around and walked out of the room.

Shen Lixing raised his eyebrows, took a sip of tea, and didn't squeak for a long time.

"Say," the old lady glanced at him.

Shen Lixing couldn't help but smile when he heard this: "It's still grandmother who understands her grandson." ”

"You provoked your sister away, and you didn't say that you would go back, you must have something to say to your grandmother, if my wife can't even see through this, wouldn't she have lived so many years in vain?" The old lady smiled.

Shen Lixing was silent for a long time, and the old lady gave him a strange look.

Receiving his grandmother's gaze, Shen Lixing raised his head and said, "Grandmother, what do you think of this girl Shiman?" ”

When the old lady heard her grandson say this, she looked at him fixedly, and immediately smiled: "Okay, my grandson is actually enlightened, haha."

Shen Lixing couldn't help but be a little embarrassed, if he wanted to get that girl to his side, he had to go through the right path, and if he acted privately like Su Qian, he couldn't get on the stage, nor could he get the support of his elders and public opinion; If you want to cross the right road, this Shen Mansion must be your grandmother, and her mother is bedridden all the year round, and she is obviously unable to do anything for herself. But when he grew so big, it was the first time he solemnly talked about his marriage in front of his grandmother, and the last time he had a success with Du Yu, he was always a concubine, and his mother just said a word, this time it was different, he was going to marry a wife.

"Have you figured it out? She's only in July, and you still have half a year to think about it," the old lady laughed.

Half a year? What are you kidding, if you wait for more than half a year, maybe that girl will have a deep love for Su Qian, and even if she marries her, she will not be beautiful.

Of course, Shen Lixing wouldn't tell his grandmother that someone was already going to rob him of someone, so he thought about it and said: "If I wait for another half a year, I'm afraid that my cousin will set her a family, I think that girl is smart and well-behaved, and she can do a lot better than other daughters in Beijing. "The most important thing is to mark that girl with the mark of the Shen Mansion first, so that people can't covet it, and it's good to retreat.

"If you really talk about it, that girl is not worthy of you in terms of family background or appearance, and you will be a knight in the future; Her father's official position is really not enough to worry about, and her family is far away in Henan, you have to think about it" Old Lady Shen looked serious. She likes Gao Shiman, but she is definitely still her grandson's dearest.

"Well, Grandmother Lao has bothered a lot" Shen Lixing was categorical, what is his family background, he doesn't need to add any more icing on the cake; looks, he didn't think that girl was ugly, but her smile attracted him inexplicably.
