Chapter 15 The so-called blessing

Shen Mingjiao looked at this funny farce and shook her hands boringly.

She is not a man, what's the use of this scene of crying, making trouble, and hanging herself?

"That's enough."

Cui slapped the table, and the porcelain cup slammed.

The scene suddenly fell silent, and the third lady seemed to be so frightened that she forgot to cry.

Seeing that everyone was quiet, Cui Shi stared at Shen Mingjiao and said bluntly: "Since your uncle reasoned with you and you didn't listen, then I, as a grandmother, ordered you, to bring Yao Er into the mansion as a side concubine after you get married." ”

Shen Mingjiao shook her head amusedly, what she said was really justified.

She raised her head and looked at Cui's disgusted gaze: "What grandmother said is interesting, people who don't know still think that I married a side concubine?" Besidesβ€”"

She pointed to Shen Mingyao, who had red eyes:

"Lord Wang, he is not blind, with my face in front of him, how can he still look at other rough rubble?"

The tone is arrogant and arrogant.

With a "plop", Shen Mingyao fainted angrily.

Cui Shi pointed at her with a trembling hand, so angry that he couldn't speak.

Shen Ji'an stared at her directly, "Are the four girls really determined not to agree?" ”

Shen Mingjiao did it again, boredly playing with the fan in her hand, and said with a smile when she heard the words: "If Uncle can find someone more beautiful than me, maybe I can still consider it." ”

Shen Ji'an also smiled: "Don't you want to know your sister's whereabouts?" ”

After saying this, I saw that Shen Mingjiao, who had been lazy and casual, had changed her complexion, and her eyes were cold as they had never been.

Shen Mingjiao has an older sister who is three years older than her.

Eight years ago, my father had a plague in the state capital, and for safety, my father sent someone to send the sisters back to Beijing. encountered bandits on the road, and her sister led the crowd away in order to save her.

In her previous life, she never gave up looking for her sister, but she never found anything.

It was at that time that Shen Ji'an jumped out. Using her sister's whereabouts as a threat, she made all kinds of demands to her. She had already gained a firm foothold in the Su Wangfu at that time, and she tried her best to meet whatever she could meet if she didn't ask too much. Just to find my sister as soon as possible.

But later she learned that this person was all lying to her.

She stared at Shen Ji'an for a moment, gritted her teeth and said, "You still have the face to mention my sister, you were obviously capable at that time, but you didn't send anyone to look for it at all." If you had sent someone, my sister would have been found long ago. Don't you think it's ridiculous that you're using this to blackmail me? ”

Shen Ji'an was stared at by her piercing eyes. How did she know?

At that time, the second brother asked him to take someone to pick up Shen Mingjiao's sisters, and when he arrived, he only saw the smashed carriage and Shen Mingjiao who was carefully covered in the grass and unconscious.

At the same time, the news of the sacrifice of the second brother came, so he didn't hesitate to take Shen Mingjiao back to Beijing directly.

As for Shen Mingshu, a woman who is likely to be taken captive, even if she is recovered, her reputation will be damaged, since this is the case, why bother with this effort!

……

Shen Mingjiao walked out of Shou'an Hall quickly, and the anger on her face did not subside.

Passing through the garden, I bumped into a man head-on. She took a step back and said "I'm sorry." When she raised her head, she saw that it was a very delicate and handsome son, she looked at him for a moment, said "I'm sorry" again, and turned around to leave.

The boy stared at her face flushed, and stammered, "No... Never mind... It's me walking carelessly..."

After speaking, he scratched his head, "My surname is Fang, and I am a friend of the eldest prince of the house, I don't know who the girl is?" ”

For this kind of gaze, Shen Mingjiao has long been accustomed to it, so she said lightly: "I am the fourth girl in the house." ”

The intention of saying this is to tell the other party that she has a marriage contract, so as not to cause trouble in vain.

When the boy heard this, his face was disappointed, and he stood there silently watching the people leave.

When the others were completely far away, he took out a light purple handkerchief from his sleeve, put it to his lips and sniffed it gently.

And Shen Mingjiao, who walked away, touched her waist and smiled with unknown meaning.

……

The past few days have been calm in the house, and it seems that the things of that day have ended like this.

On this day, Mrs. Hou invited Shen Mingjiao to go to Daxiangguo Temple to pray for blessings, an unwritten rule in the capital's magnates, women will go to famous temples to worship before marriage, and pray for harmony between husband and wife after marriage.

Shen Mingjiao obediently got into the carriage, even if she saw that Shen Mingyan, who was also about to get married, did not go, she did not show the slightest abnormality.

When I arrived at the gate of the temple, I found that there were many female relatives who came to incense today, and there was a car blocking the road in front of me.

Li frowned unhappily and asked the maid to go down and see what was going on.

After a while, the maid came back and said that in front of her was the carriage of the wife of the loyal general.

Hearing this, Li sighed and said no more, quietly waiting for the carriage to pass.

General Zhongyong once made great contributions to Great Xia, and later sacrificed his life for the country. Only left his newly married wife, and Emperor Jing and Emperor named his wife Mrs. Yipin Zhenguo for his merits.

Fortunately, the carriage of the Zhenguo General's Mansion passed quickly, and several people entered the temple and came to the main hall of the blessing, and Shen Mingjiao knelt down with others to put incense on the Buddha.

Although she does not believe in gods and Buddhas, the existence of the temple has its own reason, since she came, no matter what the purpose is, she should have basic respect and awe.

I turned my head and saw a lady in her forties kneeling straight beside her, her hair was meticulously combed, and she wore Buddha beads on her wrists all the year round.

And Li greeted warmly on the side, after all, although General Zhongyong has been dead for many years, his connections in the court are still there.

The lady of Zhenguo always smiled kindly, obviously not wanting to deal with her much.

Li Shi was bored and glanced at Shen Mingjiao, "Stay in the temple for one night today and go back tomorrow morning." ”

Shen Mingjiao nodded obediently.

Entering the resting Zen courtyard, Shen Mingjiao wiped the sweat from her forehead and told Haitang to get some hot water, she wanted to bathe.

Closing the door, she collapsed on the chair tiredly, and there seemed to be a faint fragrance between her noses, and then, she only felt a little hot and dry.

Shen Ming sat up violently, rushed to the door of the room in a few steps, stretched out his hand to push, and found that the door was locked from the outside.

Her heart tightened, she felt something, and instinctively turned her head. Facing a pair of misty eyes, I found that there was a man standing behind her at some point, and when I took a closer look, it was the delicate-looking son I met in the Houfu Garden that day.

Shen Mingjiao took a step back and said coldly, "Why are you here?" ”

The man stared at her stunned, a pair of misty eyes, with that delicate and well-behaved face, quite a kind of tempting and pitiful taste of stepping on shoes, he spoke, his voice was clear: "Girl, help me, I'm so uncomfortable!" ”

After saying that, he reached out to grab Shen Mingjiao's waist.

At this time, Shen Mingjiao seemed to hear footsteps from far and near outside the door.
