Chapter 210: Lin Muyan is here
Sheng Guo'er saved Miss He and got help from the He family, but this matter did not spread, and only a few servants of the He family knew about it.
At this time, Nangong Yuchen was discussing, whether to continue to pursue Sheng Xiaotao, or to marry Miss Liu into the door?
After hearing Nangong Yuchen's thoughts, Mrs. Nangong immediately retorted: "No! You can't take a concubine! β
Nangong Yuchen raised his eyebrows, looked at Mrs. Nangong, and said lightly: "Mother, what do you mean by this?" β
"Yu Chen, listen to your father." The head of the Nangong family said earnestly: "You are not too young, and you don't even have a concubine by your side, so it will have too much impact on your reputation." β
Mrs. Nangong glanced at her husband sideways and said, "When you got married, didn't you choose a concubine for yourself?" β
The head of the Nangong family was speechless for a moment, and said with a sneer: "This is different. β
"Besides, how is it different? I thought it was good. Master Nangong said unceremoniously: "Yu Chen, you have to figure it out, it is the norm for men to have three wives and four concubines, you have to learn to endure it." β
Nangong Yuchen snorted coldly, stared at Mrs. Nangong directly, and said, "Mother, I am only 23 years old this year, so young, why is it inappropriate for me to marry a wife and have children?" What's wrong with me marrying someone you like, and then marrying someone I like? β
Mrs. Nangong's eyes widened and she roared angrily: "Nonsense! It's nonsense! I'm telling you, you have to marry and have children this year, but you can only marry one! β
"Mother!" Nangong Yuchen stood up, looked at Master Nangong with cold eyes, and said, "You can marry anyone you want." I want to learn from my father, my brother is the same, there is a separate courtyard outside, and there are many girls who want to marry him. β
Master Nangong was silent, obviously acquiescing to Nangong Yuchen's proposal.
Seeing this, Mrs. Nangong jumped to her feet in anger, pointed at Master Nangong, and reprimanded sharply: "The surname is Nangong, are you crazy?" How dare you promise him? If you dare to promise him, I will never forgive you in death. β
"Ahem!" Master Nangong coughed embarrassedly and said, "Madam, you can leave this matter to Yu Chen to deal with!" After speaking, Master Nangong pulled Mrs. Nangong and walked outside the house, "Madam, over the years, I have been sorry for you, you just let me try my best to compensate you!" β
"No, I don't need it, I don't need it!" Mrs. Nangong shook off Master Nangong's arm and said angrily: "The surname Nangong, if you dare to disappoint me, you can try it!" β
Master Nangong shook his head helplessly, turned to Nangong Yuchen and said, "Yuchen, you figure it out yourself, let's go first." β
After that, Master Nangong helped Mrs. Nangong and left.
After Mrs. Nangong left, Nangong Yuchen smiled coldly and said, "Since my father insists on letting me marry a wife, then I can only come according to his wishes." β
After that, Nangong Yuchen summoned the housekeeper and instructed: "Pass the order, before lunch tomorrow, be sure to announce the news of my marriage with Miss Liu." β
"Yes!" The steward took the order and retreated.
Nangong Yuchen returned to the house and rested quietly on the bed.
After a while, Nangong Yuchen opened his eyes, a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and he muttered, "Sheng Xiaotao, I hope you don't cry when the time comes." β
β¦β¦
Early the next morning, Sheng Guo'er got up early in the morning, because today was the day she went to attend the chrysanthemum banquet held in Hefu. He Fu promised to ask Zhao Qingya for someone to rescue Meng Xingzhou.
After Sheng Guo'er finished grooming, she sat at the table for breakfast, while Sheng Xiaotao was sewing clothes with needlework.
"Little Peach, do you have something to do today? If it's okay, you can accompany me to Hefu. Sheng Guo'er put down the dishes and chopsticks and looked at Sheng Xiaotao with a smile.
"Huh?" Sheng Xiaotao was so frightened that she stopped what she was doing and looked at Sheng Guo'er stupidly.
"Go, what are you doing in a daze?" Sheng Guo'er urged.
"No, no need, sister, you can go by yourself, I can't go." Sheng Xiaotao refused hesitantly.
Sheng Guo'er looked at Sheng Xiaotao suspiciously, and asked, "Xiaotao, what's wrong with you?" Are you uncomfortable? β
"No, sister, I, I'm ......"
What Sheng Xiaotao was afraid of was that she would meet Nangong Yuchen again. Now that Nangong Yuchen is engaged, even if Nangong Yuchen has not yet had a round with his fiancΓ©e, this does not mean that he will not take a concubine!
If Nangong Yuchen really takes a concubine, if he has frequent contact with him, what will he do by himself?
Sheng Guo'er looked at Sheng Xiaotao, suddenly found something, and asked, "Xiaotao, are you afraid of meeting Nangong Yuchen?" β
Sheng Xiaotao nodded.
"Don't be afraid, don't worry, I promise, Nangong Yuchen won't pester you anymore." Sheng Guo'er smiled and reassured.
"Really?" Sheng Xiaotao asked with a wink.
"Really!" Sheng Guo'er patted his chest and said. She believes that as long as she says that Nangong Yuchen will not entangle herself, then even if Nangong Yuchen really wants to pester herself, it is estimated that she will have to weigh it.
"Alright then!" Sheng Xiaotao was finally coaxed by Sheng Guo'er to go to Hefu together.
and the maids and daughters in the house all knew Sheng Guo'er and Sheng Xiaotao, and when they saw the two of them coming, they hurriedly greeted and served, "Sheng family girl, you are here!" Come in. β
"Hello!" Sheng Xiaotao smiled shyly, her cheeks flushed, like a delicate flower waiting to bloom.
Sheng Guo'er nodded with satisfaction and entered the banquet hall with Sheng Xiaotao.
"Miss is here, Miss is here!" With the voice of the maid, I saw He Wanrong walking in.
"Sister, you're here!" He Wanrong greeted warmly, "Please take a seat." β
"Thank you." Sheng Guo'er sat down, and Sheng Xiaotao sat obediently on her right side, bowing her head and drinking tea.
He Wanrong glanced at Sheng Xiaotao, secretly surprised, but she didn't expect Sheng Xiaotao to become beautiful. Although it is not glamorous, it is more beautiful than before.
"Sister, I just said why didn't you come today. Unexpectedly, you came! He Wanrong affectionately held Sheng Guo'er's arm and said with a smile: "Sister, I invited a few girls from the family to play tonight, two of them are my best friends, and I will introduce you to you when the time comes, you can chat and get acquainted." β
"Okay." Sheng Guoer readily agreed.
He Wanrong held Sheng Guo'er affectionately, and said with a smile: "Sister, do you know? I read a book yesterday on designing clothes, and I found that there are a few clothes that are especially suitable for you, so how about I draw the drawings tonight and you can help me see them? β
"No problem!" Sheng Guo'er readily agreed, "However, I still have to go to the Hefu to make an appointment tonight, you finish drawing the drawings, and someone will send them to my house tomorrow, and I will help you change it." β
"Hmm." He Wanrong nodded happily and agreed.
β¦β¦
Hefu, the banquet officially began.
"Distinguished guests, thank you for taking time out of your busy schedule to participate in the chrysanthemum banquet of my and the mansion, the prince of Nangong is ill today and cannot come to entertain you, I will first salute you with a glass of wine to make amends." Wang, the head of the house, held the wine cup and said with a smile.
"Aunt Wang is too polite."
"Let you break the bank."
ββ¦β¦β
Wang held the wine cup and toasted one by one.
Sheng Guo'er also came to He Wanrong with a wine cup and said, "Sister, congratulations on your recovery. β
"Thank you, sister!" He Wanrong reached out to hold Sheng Guo'er's hand and said softly: "Sister, you are so beautiful today, I really envy you." β
Sheng Guo'er smiled and said, "Aren't you also quite beautiful?" β
He Wanrong lowered her head shyly, "Where can I compare to my sister!" β
"Okay, don't praise me, you're beautiful yourself! You're the prettiest girl I've ever seen. β
Hearing this, He Wanrong raised her head and looked at Sheng Guo'er, "Sister, really?" β
"Hmm." Sheng Guo'er nodded affirmatively and said, "You see, your skin is delicate and smooth, and it can be broken by blowing. And your facial features are delicate and beautiful, and your eyebrows reveal aura. I guess you must have been born beautiful and hard to give up. β
"Hehe, sister, it turns out that you also like flamboyance!" And Wanrong covered her mouth and snickered.
"How can I have a flam tongue? I'm telling the truth! Sheng Guo'er retorted confidently.
Sheng Xiaotao stood behind Sheng Guo'er, listening to the conversation between the two sisters, and couldn't help laughing. Sheng Guo'er and He Wanrong are both very beautiful, especially Sheng Guo'er, which can be described as captivating the country and the city. The two sisters are like a painting together!
He Wanrong pursed her lips and smiled, "Sister, let's talk later!" When the feast is over, I have some private things to tell you. β
Sheng Guo'er nodded and said, "Okay." β
He Wanrong let go of Sheng Guo'er's hand, turned around and returned to the center of the banquet hall, and continued to preside over tonight's banquet.
Sheng Guo'er found a relatively hidden position to sit down and whispered to Sheng Xiaotao.
"Sister, you don't know how boring today's banquet is."
"Oh? How boring? Sheng Guo'er raised her eyebrows.
"Alas!" Sheng Xiaotao sighed and said helplessly: "He Wanrong has been staring at Nangong Dashizi, and I can't wait to put it on." β
Sheng Guo'er smiled faintly and said, "She likes Nangong Yueyi, it's normal. β
At this moment, the lord of the mansion asked him to go over to discuss the matter of saving Meng Xingzhou.
"Guo'er, I'll go over first, you stay here, don't run around." Sheng Guo'er told Sheng Xiaotao.
"Don't worry, I'm not a three-year-old." Sheng Xiaotao waved his hand and said, "You go get busy!" I'm sitting here waiting for you to come back. β
"Okay." Sheng Guo'er left with a smile.
β¦β¦
"Little Peach, why are you sitting here? Hurry up and dance with my brother-in-law. He Wanrong saw Sheng Xiaotao sitting in the corner drinking tea and eating from a distance, and hurriedly beckoned to her, signaling her to come over quickly.
"Don't go, you can play slowly!" Sheng Xiaotao picked up the snack on the table and took a bite, because she didn't want to see Nangong Yueyi.
"Little Peach, what's wrong with you? Why do you look sullen? He Wanrong asked suspiciously.
"It's okay, I just want to be quiet." Sheng Xiaotao shook her head and said, "You can play slowly by yourself!" I want to be alone."
"Alright then, there you go!" He Wanrong smiled and said, "If you're tired, remember to tell me." β
"Okay." Sheng Xiaotao nodded, got up and walked out.
She walked slowly along the shore of the lake, and suddenly, a fresh breeze blew the broken hair of her sideburns, obscuring half of her pretty little face.
"Shhh It's so cold! Sheng Xiaotao shrunk her neck, shivered, and wrapped her arms around her to minimize the invasion of the cold.
"Miss Sheng?" At this moment, a slightly unfamiliar voice sounded. Sheng Xiaotao looked up and found a man in a brocade robe standing not far away.
Sheng Xiaotao said in surprise: "Senior brother, why are you here?" β
"I'm here to find you." Lin Muyan looked at her and smiled gently: "You are dressed like this today, you are so beautiful!" β
Sheng Xiaotao hung her head and smiled shyly.
"Little Peach, why are you standing here alone and not going to play?" Lin Muyan asked with concern.
