Chapter Twenty-Nine: Framed
Shen Jiaojiao?
And why did she say that? Did she think that the dim sum she made was bought in Zuijiangnan?
Although he has never been to Zuijiangnan in this life, Shen Qiange also knows about this restaurant.
In her previous life, Zui Jiangnan relied on a few stir-fried dishes to become popular in the capital within a year, at that time, she also went to eat, and the silver spent on a meal made her feel distressed for a long time, but unfortunately, the dishes were far from what her master made.
Shen Qiange frowned slightly and looked in the direction where Shen Jiaojiao came in.
Shen Qiange didn't feel anything, but the nobles who surrounded her widened their mouths in surprise, and after the entire flower hall was silent for two seconds, there was a buzzing discussion.
Shen Qiange heard the discussion between the two people next to him holding their voices down.
"There seems to be a restaurant called Zui Jiangnan in the capital recently, which has suddenly become popular. ”
"Yes, that's right, you still have to make an appointment to eat there, and a few days ago, my brother asked Chang to make an appointment, saying that the private room has been scheduled for three months. ”
"My cousin said that the dim sum in the drunken Jiangnan is the most delicious, and the dim sum in the palace may not be comparable!"
......
When the county lord of Yuanming heard the words of the nobles next to him, his eyes fell on Shen Qiange, who was still calm, and he immediately showed disgust. Let's just say that a person's behavior is so easy to change, Shen Qiange's performance in the study was average before, and he grew up in a peasant family since he was a child, and he was born with mud legs, where would he make snacks. It turned out that he bought drunken Jiangnan snacks to coax the five princesses!
The lord of Yuanming County pushed the five princesses beside him, "Cousin, you are too easy to deceive, don't be deceived, and help the number of silver!"
The fifth princess was angry by what the county lord of Yuanming said.
snapped the chopsticks on the table, "How dare Shen Er deceive Princess Ben!"
The nobles next to them were taken aback by the action of the fifth princess, and suddenly, the flower hall was quiet for two seconds, and after two seconds, the nobles retorted one by one in low voices.
"Fifth princess, Miss Shen has said it, this is a dim sum from the drunken Jiangnan, they are all daughters of the Shen Mansion, and they are from the First Mansion, can they still lie?"
"Yes, princess, Miss Shen just came in, and she didn't know what was going on, so she unintentionally debunked Miss Shen. ”
......
All kinds of sounds filled the flower hall, similar to a flock of "chirping" sparrows.
The nobles who were still surrounding Shen Qiange just now suddenly retreated two steps away from her. Shen Qiange's surroundings instantly became extremely empty.
Shen Qiange looked at the movements of these people lightly, and there was no panic in those clear eyes.
Standing in the corner and watching the process of Shen Qiange being "treated coldly", Shen Jiaojiao seemed to have just reacted, her expression was flustered, she walked to Shen Qiange's side in three or two steps, hugged Shen Qiange's arm, worried and aggrieved: "Sister...... What the hell is going on? I ...... Am I saying the wrong thing?"
Shen Qiange turned his head to look at Shen Jiaojiao, there was no resentment or anger in those clear eyes at this moment, only coldness.
Shen Qiange forcefully pulled out her arm from Shen Jiaojiao's hand, and then took a step to the side, she didn't say a word, but her attitude was obvious, she didn't want to have anything to do with Shen Jiaojiao at all.
Since Shen Jiaojiao wants to frame her and ruin her reputation, then she must be ready to accept her counterattack!
Shen Qiange's attitude was understood by everyone as a lack of heart, and the nobles around her all pointed fingers at Shen Qiange, but Shen Jiaojiao became the one everyone sympathized.
"Miss Shen just inadvertently told the truth, and she was treated so coldly by Miss Shen Er, but who told Miss Shen Er to lie?"
Someone immediately walked up to Shen Jiaojiao's side, comforted her, and told her that she was just an unintentional mistake, to tell the truth, it was not her fault, and she didn't have to feel guilty at all.
The fifth princess looked at the messy scene in the flower hall, her brows became deeper and deeper, she suddenly stood up, walked up to Shen Qiange, and said angrily: "Shen Er, I only heard you say, did you tell me that you made these dim sums, or did you buy them from Zui Jiangnan?"
Shen Qiange replied in a calm tone, "Your Royal Highness Princess, these snacks are indeed made by me, and there is no trace of falsehood. ”
Hearing Shen Qiange say this, the five princesses' tightly crumbling heartstrings couldn't help but relax, and their frowning brows also relaxed.
"Shen Er, since you said so, this princess will believe you!"
No one expected that the fifth princess would be so stubborn and short-sighted.
Shen Jiaojiao's eyes widened in surprise, she was uneasy in her heart, could it be that this matter was so big today? She clenched her fist under her wide sleeves.
Just when she was unwilling, the county lord of Yuanming spoke, "How can you only listen to Miss Shen Er's words? It's a matter of reputation, I don't think Miss Shen Er wants to be misunderstood like this, right?"
As soon as the voice of the county lord of Yuanming fell, the unwillingness in Shen Jiaojiao's heart was removed, and her expression returned to the elegant and innocent appearance she had on weekdays.
She looked at Shen Qiange with worried eyes, which made the nobles next to her think that Shen Qiange was lying.
The fifth princess didn't expect her cousin to intervene at this time, and at this moment, she regretted inviting her cousin to eat the snacks brought by Shen Er.
In fact, in the eyes of the fifth princess, it doesn't matter if Shen Qiange made this snack or not, as long as it was really brought to her.
The reason why the fifth princess was so anxious was that she probably felt that Shen Qiange couldn't make such a snack.
Shen Qiange didn't immediately answer the words of the county lord of Yuanming, which made everyone think that Shen Qiange was empty-hearted, and the fifth princess just took advantage of this gap and said: "Shen Er, this princess believes in you, if you don't want to prove it, don't pay attention to it!"
The fifth princess said this domineeringly, but she directly offended the county lord of Yuanming.
Lord Yuanming frowned slightly and looked at the fifth princess, "Princess, don't you think it's unfair for you to do this?"
The fifth princess is not good with the sister of the county lord of Yuanming at this time, she crossed her arms and sneered.
Fairness? Fairness is given by the royal family!
Just because she is a princess and Yuan Ming is the county lord, this fairness can only be given by her!
Shen Qiange deliberately held back for so long, so that everyone misunderstood.
At this point, she had to step up.
Shen Qiange took two steps forward, and then blessed the fifth princess, "Her Royal Highness the princess doesn't have to favor the courtiers, the truth is how! Since the county lord doesn't believe in the courtiers, in order to prove her innocence, the courtiers will make these snacks in public for everyone to taste." ”
When the fifth princess heard her say this, she furrowed her brows, "Shen Er, have you thought about it?"
Shen Qiange nodded firmly.
Lord Yuanming raised his eyebrows, "Okay, since you said so, then Her Royal Highness and I will give you this opportunity!"
After speaking, he instructed the palace maid next to him to go to the kitchen of the study to prepare the ingredients that needed to be used.
The fifth princess was afraid that the people of the county lord of Yuanming would do something, so she hurriedly asked Hongyan to send someone to follow.
