187 Disturbance in the Front Yard (2nd Watch)
If she had known that such a thing would happen, she would not have spoken with the intention of pleasing her...... Even, she will not come to this banquet.
She really doesn't know! I didn't know that my husband left the emperor a while ago because of an errand ordered by His Majesty...... She thought, she just thought......
The Meng family is an ordinary small merchant in the imperial capital, and opened a small noodle shop on the street, when Shen Pan passed by their shop, he stared at it hungry, and Meng's father made him a bowl of noodles, noodles with clear soup and little water, and he even drank the soup cleanly.
A few days later, he came again, saying that he had cleared the previous credit, and sat down to eat a bowl of noodles, with minced meat, which was not expensive. It can be seen that he is in a tight condition.
Come and go, and it's cooked.
Only then did he know that he was a student who entered Beijing to take the exam, and saw that he spoke appropriately and behaved properly, Meng's father had the idea of clinging, and invited him to Meng's house every now and then for dinner.
A showman, no matter what the future holds, is not low for a family like the Meng family.
Unexpectedly, it was actually a high school Tanhua, Meng's father knelt in the ancestral hall, knelt all night, and said excitedly that the Meng family had been protected by their ancestors, and his generation was finally going to glorify their ancestors.
But Meng's father didn't know that in fact, the relationship between his daughter and Shen Pan was not as good as it seemed. Shen Pan is a person, although he seems thoughtful, comprehensive, reasonable, and well-founded, but he really can't say anything good about women, and he doesn't say anything about asking for money every once in a while, and ignores it if he doesn't give it, and even disappears for more than a month.
As a result, Meng panicked, she vaguely foresaw the end of her own empty people and money, quarreling again and again, urging again and again, and even threatening to ruin the other party...... Shen Pan is a newly promoted official, his foundation is not stable, his reputation is the most important, and the Meng family ...... To put it bluntly, in a place like the imperial capital, no one will pay attention to the reputation of the daughter of a small family.
The barefoot are not afraid to wear shoes.
In this way, Shen Pan finally married himself a month ago, and the ceremony was so simple that he only invited a few colleagues and relatives of the Meng family to a banquet.
But what does it matter, the position of the left and right lady of the three products is in hand, isn't it? When she received the invitation from the Xie family, she still thought so, and when she saw the queen stepping out of the carriage, she even felt that the Meng family was really protected by their ancestors......
But she really didn't know what happened to Shen Pan before!
If she knew, she wouldn't have forced him to come back and marry her so inexplicably! Disobeying the emperor's order is a great crime!
As soon as he saw Mrs. Shen's expression, Shi Huan knew that the other party was afraid that he really didn't know that Shen Pan had committed something and was sent back...... It seems that Gu Yanyao has put a lot of effort into Shen Pan and kept the news from him.
She got up and took the teapot from her subordinates, poured it for the queen, and then sat down and said, "Auntie...... This matter has also passed. Today is at Mrs. Xie's banquet, and she should give Mrs. Xie a face, and she will talk about anything after eating this meal. ”
She didn't say she didn't care, she just said that she didn't care about it first.
My aunt was furious for herself, and if she blindly interceded for Meng's family, she would seem to be ignorant of her own actions, and she would hurt her aunt's face. What's more, this thing...... She hadn't intended to settle the matter.
Mrs. Xie got up immediately, and put it in front of the queen with a plate of rouge goose breast in front of her, before answering and persuading, "Yes, yes, Niangniang, don't let her affect her mood, it's not worth it." Niangniang tasted this dish, before her husband was sent to Jiangnan, he ate this dish, and said that he would bring the cook back...... We don't have it in the imperial capital. ”
The chopsticks raised by the queen froze, and she took a pair of chopsticks between her eyebrows, ate them slowly, and nodded, "The taste is good, and I am about to catch up with the skills of the imperial chef." ”
As he spoke, he put another chopstick in Shi Huan's plate, "You can taste it too." If you like it, let the cook in your courtyard come to Xie Fu to learn. ”
"It's good if you like it." Mrs. Xie opened the topic with a smile, and beckoned the ladies and ladies at the table to dine together, as for the Meng Shi who was still kneeling there, she gave her a look and let Mama put it down.
This unpleasant episode was "inadvertently" forgotten by people with intentions...... But I feel that I must inform my husband and wife about this matter after I go back, this Lord Shen Pan Shen, I am afraid that my career is worrying, and it is better to have less contact.
For this Lord Shen, Mrs. Xie has also heard of it, she has not heard much, and she has been in her ears a few times, but she didn't pay attention to it at that time, after all, for a family like the Xie family, the affairs of the third-grade officials in the DPRK and China really don't need her to worry about it, but she didn't expect that an unintentional invitation almost ruined the entire banquet.
was secretly rejoicing, but saw the housekeeper in the house bowing his head and hurriedly coming, walked to the pavilion and stood still, and arched his hand, "Niangniang, madam." ”
The queen glanced at Mrs. Xie and was silent, this is the Xie family's territory, and she will not overstep her bounds.
Mrs. Xie had a faint premonition, looked at the housekeeper under the pavilion and asked, "What's the matter?" ”
"Ma'am, something happened in the front yard. The old man heard that Niangniang was also ...... Therefore, please take Miss Shi over for a visit. ”
……
Because Mr. Xie only invited the queen and Shi Huan, and those ladies and ladies stayed for dinner, Mrs. Xie personally took the two of them to the front yard together.
Today, there are also many sons of families in the front yard, and they should be dining at this moment. Mrs. Xie was anxious all the way, and even took the queen to talk to her, she also answered a lot of questions absent-mindedly, and later Shi Huan talked to the queen and opened the topic to solve the siege.
Mrs. Xie was more and more impressed by this eldest lady.
Kankan approached the front yard, and heard the wailing and screaming coming from inside, heartbreaking, accompanied by the dull pain of whipping on the flesh one after another, Shi Huan's eyes were condensed, and he glanced at the queen, and saw the solemn color in the eyes of the other party, and immediately accelerated his pace to keep up with Mrs. Xie, who had already lost her temper and ran over with her skirt.
Turn around the corner and you'll find the front yard. The courtyard door was open, and there were two circles of family children in the courtyard, and Shi Huan couldn't see anything inside, only smelling the smell of blood. When I looked down, I saw a dazzling red flowing along the gap in the bluestone bricks to the door......
The housekeeper took a few steps forward and pushed away the people blocking the door, "Let Jean, let Rang, the queen is here......"
Everyone turned around and retreated, but they didn't care about saluting, but instead acted like birds and beasts, and the faces that turned around were full of fear and dodging, not like seeing the queen, but seeing the cow, ghost, snake and god.
Shi Huan helped the queen into the door, looked up, and was stunned.
