Chapter 66: Begonias Are Still the Same (1)
Shen Muyan didn't appear until the middle of the meal, but he only hurriedly took a few bites of the ceremony, and then left without saying much. The big guy is tired after a busy day's work. Old Madam Shen was not in high spirits, and she didn't leave anyone after the meal, so she gave an order to evict the guests early.
Sun returned to the house, Rong Sun's mother took off her cloak, this is the kung fu of the kang not sitting hot, the curtain outside sounded softly, Sun's eyes lit up, thinking it was Shen Muyan, and when he looked at it, his eyes were full of loss.
I saw that the little girl came in with a beauty fist, and the rules of every night were relaxed for Sun's legs.
There was the sound of beating shoulders in his ears, and he only felt a lot more relaxed, Sun closed his eyes and breathed a sigh of relief: "What time is it, why hasn't the lord come back yet?" ”
The little girl listened to the question of the hostess, and looked outside, the lamp in the porch was lit for a long time, and it was blown by the wind, flickering and dimming. This is pursing his lips, wanting to open his mouth to answer.
Coincidentally, I just heard the curtain be lifted, and the person who had been waiting for a long time finally came.
Sun's smile climbed up his cheeks, waved his hand to send people down, and got up to meet him: "Oops, it can be seen that I am tired." As he spoke, he lowered his coat for Shen Muyan.
Shen Muyan looked at her and smiled reluctantly, rubbed his eyebrows, strode towards the kang, took a bite of the teacup, and picked up the scrolls on the kang table to read.
Sun glanced at him, sat down beside him, and fanned him for him: "I'm tired enough during the day, but I don't let go of this idea now." ”
"It's okay, that's how I came when I was young." Shen Muyan's eyes did not leave the book an inch, and he smacked his lips with tea and said a perfunctory sentence.
The fan in Sun's hand paused, and moved closer: "Tonight, the old lady is in a bad mood, but it is the first time I have seen her so angry in these many years." She said and glanced at Shen Muyan tentatively.
I don't know if I heard it or not, Shen Muyan responded nonsense and didn't say anything.
Sun thought in his heart, but he still opened his mouth without giving up, but he never expected that at this time, Shen Muyan put down the scroll in his hand and spoke one step ahead of her: "I do have something to tell my wife here." ”
Seeing him like this, Sun put away the fan, with an expression of wanting to speak and stopping.
"Entering the palace today, Gonggong Liao, who was beside the noble concubine, brought a message," Shen Muyan propped his hand on the edge of the kang, his eyes rolled a few times, and he deliberately suppressed his voice: "Niangniang has the intention of marrying our family and the Zhao family." ”
As soon as these words came out, Sun's eyes fluttered, and he couldn't sit still, he glanced at Shen Muyan in disbelief, and was stunned for a moment, as if he was not giving up and asking for confirmation: "Earl Yongping Zhao family?!" ”
Seeing Shen Muyan's forehead, she got up and stared at him for a long time: "My God, didn't you hear it wrong?" His Zhao family has always been arrogant, and the eldest lady of his family is a despised person, and the last time he went to his family's banquet, he was not less coldly regarded by her. ”
"Isn't his family close to King Gong's family, who doesn't know that when King Gong and your political disagreement for a long time, the Zhao family is afraid that it will be returned to King Gong early, and our family will insert it again, isn't it a person inside and out, but it will become a joke in Tongjing." Sun pulled the veil, his whole face flushed, and he was even a little out of breath.
Shen Muyan was upset, Sun didn't care about anything at this time, but his voice was very loud, he glanced out the window and scolded lightly: "What do you know?" But a woman, it's nonsense! The weight of the Zhao family in the heart of the saint is not small, and his lord is also neutral in the court, so he is familiar with King Gong, but the King Gong family has the intention to win over. ”
Sun was deflated, sat down paralyzed, seemed to have compromised, and his voice was so low that he seemed to say to himself: "Several girls in our family are almost at the age of getting married. As she spoke, she began to think about the candidate.
As far as she is concerned, none of the girls in the house are from her, if you really want to choose which one, she only feels that the second sister is the most agreeable, after all, she is raised in her room, and no matter how bad it is, it is better than Aunt Yu's fourth sister. In this way, it will not be enough for Aunt Yu to take advantage of it and become the in-laws of the earl's family.
Sun thought in his heart, at this time, Shen Muyan had already taken off his shoes and put on the kang, leaned on the pillow and pinched the bridge of his nose: "It is good for a few girls in our family to marry whoever marries them, but this matter still has to pass the eyes of the Zhao family, and it is necessary for his family to agree." ”
Hearing this, the Sun family raised his head slightly, and planned in his heart to take the girls to see the Zhao family one day.
-
Even if some things are covered tightly, there is no impermeable wall, and Shen Guifei, the head of the palace, blew the pillow wind around the saint a few times according to her own wishes, which can be regarded as acquiescence.
The Zhao family at this end is very well-informed, and Mrs. Li is also very dissatisfied with this matter, and discussed it with Uncle Yongping, after all, it is not good to save the face of Shen Guifei, but she really can't pull her face, so she called the Qin lady of the Wei family to board the Shen family together.
Sun got the news early in the morning, personally greeted under the door, did not wait long, saw a few carriages slowly stopped in front of the door, and fell to the ground, and saw several ladies being helped out of the car.
Talking and laughing all the way to the main house, several people sat down one after another.
Sun Shi took advantage of the girl's time to come in and serve tea, and looked at Mrs. Li, and saw that she was still holding a dignified appearance, her eyes were cold, and she didn't want to be close to others.
She secretly complained in her heart, but she still had a polite smile on her face, signaling that the ladies did not need to be restrained, just eat tea.
Mrs. Qin saw that Mrs. Li was uncomfortable, and she was brought to negotiate, so it was not good not to say a word, so she laughed and took a sip of tea: "Mrs. Sun is so enthusiastic and takes out such a good tea to entertain." ”
"It's natural, you're a rare guest." Sun faintly hid his embarrassment, and smiled like a flower arrangement.
Mrs. Qin raised her forehead and gently put down the teacup: "We have dealt with each other a few times, and now we are familiar with each other, so we are welcome, open the skylight and say bright words." ”
After that, she glanced at Mrs. Li, and the other party also met her gaze and raised her head slightly.
Then I listened to Mrs. Qin continue: "This kind of news came down, but suddenly, the Earl's Mansion can be valued by the noble concubine, and I am really afraid. ”
When Sun heard this, his heart moved slightly, and his smile was really difficult to hold: "What are these words, Mrs. Li has never spoken, Mrs. Qin is afraid of something, the concubine is the most benevolent, it is really too worrying." ”
Unexpectedly, she was so rebuffed, Mrs. Qin's eyelids trembled, and she was a little surprised, but she didn't plan to continue.
"Mrs. Qin is also thinking about the Earl's Mansion, and I don't want to displease you." In the middle of the night, Mrs. Li's body moved slightly, her thin lips opened slightly, and she took a sip of tea instead, frowning: "It seems that the Shen family's tea, my family can't eat it." ”
Unexpectedly, Mrs. Li still didn't give half a good face, even if the Sun family panicked, she piled up a smiling face: "This tea is specially prepared for the Zhao family, full of sincerity, if you can't eat it, no one can eat it." ”
"Now the meaning of the concubine is clear when I think about it, it is nothing more than the marriage between their children, and it must be under the same roof in the future, Mrs. Li is polite." The corners of Sun's mouth grinned, and his face was about to stiffen.
"It's too early to say, the children's marriage is a lifetime, and we as elders have to check at all levels, but it's not a joke." Mrs. Li smiled with her eyebrows, but anyone with a discerning eye could see that this smile was very cold, not from the heart.
Mrs. Li took a sip of tea, and when she saw that the Sun family said yes again and again, she continued unhurriedly: "I have heard of several girls in your mansion, but I don't know the roots, you know, my brother is the most inferior monkey, but it is very difficult to treat." ”
"What are you talking about, your son-in-law is pure and good-natured, otherwise the concubine would not be so important, if it is really like what you said, then the son-in-law of the family will have no way to live." Sun's mouth is not right.
Unexpectedly, at this time, Mrs. Qin's face was already very ugly, and her face was as black as the bottom of a pot. Who doesn't know, her family also has a son-in-law, diligent and progressive, this year's spring is also on the list, and in terms of character and talent, it is above the son of the Earl's house.
Mrs. Li had a lively expression, her brows loosened a little, but she stopped talking.
At this time, it was also expected that something was wrong, and Sun was annoyed in his heart, but he didn't know how to talk about it. At this moment, I only heard the curtain move slightly, and the little girl came in to report, and then welcomed Shen Shuixuan in.
Sun secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and said in his heart that it was timely.
Shen Shuixuan did not lose hope, but the extremely high-ranking court lady blessed the lady, which can be regarded as fighting for face.
Sun raised his eyebrows with satisfaction, and pulled her closer: "This is the second girl in the family, now fourteen." ”
"I've seen it, and I went to my house for tea last month." Mrs. Qin leaned over, her eyes lit up, and she looked up and down: "It's indeed a flower-like girl." ”
Shen Shuixuan made a calm appearance, and sat down on the small stool on the side, but there was a sweat in the palms of his hands, full of discomfort.
"As far as I know, there is more than this girl in Mrs. Sun's house, and she only called the second sister out at this time, isn't it partial." Mrs. Qin glanced at Mrs. Sun, and then looked at Mrs. Li's expression, and finally squeezed out a sentence from between her teeth.
As soon as these words came out, Sun's heart was stunned, this was her careful calculation, Shen Shuixuan was the only girl who was raised in her room, if she got the blue eyes of the earl's lady, she would follow it. Such a good opportunity is an opportunity that cannot be lost and will not come again, how can it be given to Aunt Yu, who has always been regarded as a thorn in the flesh by her.
"Mrs. Qin is used to laughing, the girl in the house, in terms of age, the second sister is older than the rest of the girls, and she is also the most sensible, she is now an example, and she has seen guests on behalf of several younger sisters, which can be regarded as the etiquette of the eldest sister." Sun's eyes rolled, holding the teacup, and skimming the tea leaves inside.
Mrs. Qin secretly laughed in her heart, but her face was not obvious, after seeing Mrs. Li, seeing that she didn't mean to speak, she pursed her lips and continued: "This is natural, I know the character of the girl of the Shen family best, your eldest girl has gone out of the door, isn't it just a good start, virtuous and gentle, it can be said that it is a model for Kyoto girls to follow." ”
