"Master Hou, this person turned out to be a lobbyist invited by Luo Buping, and I don't know if those words are true or false."

Jun Cheng pulled his lips and smiled, and there was a murderous aura in his slightly narrowed phoenix eyes:

"If he dares to deceive me, he will have his good fruit to eat. Luo Buping, I can't move, a scholar who has not dried up, can't I touch it? ”

Shen Qingluan entered Luofu, but after a cup of tea, he came out with a brocade box.

Cuicui didn't dare to ask in a suppressed voice until she was two miles away from Luo's mansion: "The master and Lord Luo have broken off contact for decades, but I didn't expect to be so generous, and I am willing to lend a hundred years of ginseng to Mrs. ”

Shen Qingluan sighed: "Lord Luo has been with his father for decades, how can he really see death and not save him, I am afraid that this ginseng has been prepared a long time ago."

It's just that my father is strong, and Lord Luo is also stubborn, and neither of them will bow their heads first. ”

In his previous life, until Shen Shu died of illness, Luo Buping did not show up.

Or when she was ridiculed outside, Mrs. Luo took the initiative to relieve her.

Speaking of Luo Buping's crying on the day of Shen Shu's death, and writing more than a dozen memorial essays to secretly pay tribute to him, she knew the friendship between the two.

Cuicui nodded ignorantly, and then said worriedly: "Master is strong, if he knew that Mrs. secretly came to Lord Luo, would he be so angry that he refused to take medicine?" ”

Shen Qingluan said quietly: "Otherwise, why do you think I changed my clothes and claimed to be a relative of the Shen family, so it doesn't mean that my father took the initiative to admit defeat." ”

Thinking about it, with Luo Ping's mind, even if he sees her identity, he will not take the initiative to debunk it.

The two went back to the Shen Mansion to take care of Shen Shu, and they didn't mention it.

In the Zhenyuan Marquis Mansion, Jun Hongbai slept in the study as usual.

Qingyu, the maid beside Jun Qian, said that the master was dizzy from the wind and came to invite Jun Hongbai over, but he just sent someone to send some medicine and sent it away.

Jun Qian was so angry that she tightened the quilt: "Father is really annoyed with me, it doesn't matter if he doesn't come to see me, the medicine sent over is so crude." ”

Qingyu hurriedly persuaded: "Uncle should really be unable to pull away, Mrs. went back to her parents' house, the old lady is not in good health, and the house depends on the uncle alone."

And the medicine, I heard that my wife's father was seriously ill, and my uncle ordered the treasury to pick out the best medicinal herbs——"

"Smack".

The palm of the hand is attached to the flesh.

Jun Qian raised her palm and slapped Qingyu in the face:

"Slut, what nonsense! How could my father give the medicine to the Shen family instead of giving it to me! It's clear that you are not doing things well and deliberately making excuses to perfunctory me! ”

Qingyu was beaten to the ground with half of her body thrown to the ground, but she didn't dare to defend herself, and quickly knelt straight again.

In the Zhenyuan Marquis Mansion, Jun Qian's temper and deterrence have always been heavier than Shen Qingluan and the old lady.

In the Xianshu courtyard, Qingyun could persuade her to say two words, but this time, Qingyun was chased away by his wife again, and everyone in the room was trembling and kneeling like quails.

Jun Qian looked at the head of the room, became more and more angry, and slammed the bed board and scolded angrily:

"Waste, a bunch of waste, none of them are useful, what's the use of me raising you! I love kneeling so much, just roll me into the yard and kneel! Get lost! ”

The maids cowered out.

Jun Qian watched the empty swaying to the house, remembering that she couldn't even keep the maid she could use, and became more and more sad.

She is beautiful and intelligent, and she is still the eldest daughter of the Hou Mansion, why should Cang Tian have trouble with her, and send Shen Qingluan to be her stepmother.

Her surname is Shen, how can she be sincere to herself, seeing that now, even her father's heart is about to deviate.

No wonder her aunt always told her that if there is a stepmother, there will be a stepfather.

She didn't come out of Shen Qingluan's stomach, how could Shen Qingluan really plan for her.

When it was clear and extinguished, the words that Du Mianmian said to her came into her mind again.

Jun Qian's heart seemed to be fried for a moment, and finally made up her mind, "Come on!" ”

"Tomorrow, you go to the academy and pass a message to Brother Yuan'er for me."

The farce of Xianshu Courtyard came to Jun Hongbai's ears.

If it was in the past, he would have gone to coax Jun Qian for a while, but today, he only let the messenger retreat, and still sat alone in the study.

In just two days, the house in his impression seemed to have changed.

He thought that his innocent daughter was actually mean and stingy. He thought that his grandmother was dignified and kind, but in fact she was greedy and vain.

On the contrary, it is the wife he has always guarded against is the one who always plans for him and the Hou Mansion.

Could it be that he was wrong in the past?

There was a knock on the door.

Listening to the voice, it was Nanchun, the big girl next to the old lady, who knocked on the door.

Even if Jun Hongbai didn't want to see him again, he had to get up.

Lu went back to the room, and was glad that Jun Hongbai did not pursue it, but when he looked back and thought about it, he was sweating white behind his back.

Jun Hongbai's reluctance to pursue it doesn't mean that he doesn't want to listen to his own explanation.

In his heart, he had already sentenced himself to death, and he didn't care about her reasons and her suffering.

Thinking about this clearly, the Lu family could still sit still, and rushed over with stars and moons.

Jun Hongbai's expression was cold, and the Lu family didn't dare to take the previous shelf and put a stack of account books in front of Jun Hongbai.

"Grandmother uses Wen Niang's dowry, this matter is indeed undignified, and I don't want to argue anything for myself, only your surname is Jun, and you should know about the family affairs of the Jun family."

Jun Hongbai's blocking hand was just retracted, and he reached out to the ledger instead.

Lu must be in his heart, and said carefully:

"You should remember that Du Wenniang married in when your grandfather was cut down. At that time, although the Jun family had no title, your grandfather was still there, and the Jun family still had connections.

Wen Niang married in, and your grandfather was grateful for her friendship in the snow. She took advantage of the power of the Jun family, and the dowry in her hand at least tripled. ”

"Wen Niang told me about this."

Jun Hongbai's voice was dim.

That was the happiest time for him and Du Wenniang.

"After your grandfather died, in the eyes of the Marquis of the capital, the Jun family was completely hopeless, and many former enemies came up. I thought you were going to study for a scientific exam, so I didn't tell you.

I only secretly found Du Wenniang and asked her to move some dowry out to make some money, so that you could be admitted to the Jinshi, and when the Jun family made a comeback, she would definitely be compensated tenfold and hundredfold.

But she refused without hesitation. ”

Every wrinkle on Lu's face is written about that period of wind and rain and drifting.

Jun Hongbai suddenly felt guilty, "My grandson is incompetent, and I am afraid of my grandmother." ”

Lu squeezed his hand and sighed:

"We are women in the house, it doesn't hurt to suffer a little, we just hope that the men of the Jun family will get ahead, fortunately, Du Wenniang refuses to come forward to help, and you are still admitted, but when it comes to assigning official positions, the old marquis's connections in the court have long been scattered.

If there is no one to support, then there are many Jinshi who can't get official positions in the capital, do you want me to watch my grandson spend his best years! ”

Lu's voice was intense, and there was a faint splash in his eyes, "I went to beg Wen Niang again, thinking that she refused to pay the money before, maybe because she was worried that the money spent would be lost."

This time you are already in high school, she is your mother, and you have always been intimate and loving, she should agree. But this time, she still disagreed. ”

Jun Hongbai pursed his lips, and the hands held by the Lu family slowly clenched his fists.

How could it be, how could Wen Niang treat him like this.

"There's probably some misunderstanding."

Lu Shi did not refute, but continued: "She doesn't care about you, how can grandmother ignore you." So I borrowed some silver from the Lu family, and made a note with ten times the interest. ”

Saying that, Lu's voice choked: "I know that the Lu family is not kind to take advantage of the fire to rob, but I, I can't help it!"

Wen Niang has two children, and she has a sister-in-law to rely on, but what about me, I only have one grandson, you! I can be sorry for anyone in this world, but I can't be sorry for you, Hongbai, do you understand grandmother? ”

Jun Hongbai's heart was in a mess, and he subconsciously said: "Sun Er understands." ”

Lu wiped the corners of his eyes with a handkerchief, "Later, Wen Niang left, the Jun family slowly got better, and the Lu family came to the door." Grandmother can't help it, the Lu family said that if you don't pay back, you will ruin your reputation.

I know that it is an ugly thing to touch my granddaughter-in-law's dowry, but I am willing to bear this notoriety, and I only want my grandson to rise to the top. ”

These words were as straight as a spell, strung into a chain and tied to Jun Hongbai's forehead, making his temples hurt.

Is that so?

The Wen Niang in his memory is virtuous and gentle, and she is a good housekeeper.

But he remembered that he used more paper for reading and writing, and Wen Niang blamed him for wasting it.

For a while, he couldn't tell the difference between right and wrong, black and white.

After a while, Jun Hongbai's voice was hoarse, "Grandmother, don't say it, my grandchildren understand." ”

"No, you don't understand!" Lu Shi held his hand, and the voice seemed to pass directly through the eardrum, chiseled into the depths of his mind:

"Affection can be let down, only blood kinship and power are loyal. Just looking at the restoration of the Marquis of Zhenyuan, it can be seen that you have been promoted two levels in a row. Grandmother knows that you don't like Shen Qingluan, but the Shen family is well-known among literati.

For the sake of your future, grandmother is willing to lose reputation and face, if you can get the power of the Shen family to help you rise step by step, grandmother is willing to die, not to mention that she has a bad reputation. ”

Step by step......

How he didn't want to.

However, "Shen Qingluan her, she has changed ......"

In the past, she took care of his internal affairs internally, took care of his colleagues externally, and went to the Shen clan many times to lobby for him.

"Today, she actually embarrassed me in front of the elders of the Shen family."

"Silly boy."

The Lu family was almost heartbroken, "Shen Qingluan is a woman after all, in the past, if you put your mind on Wen Niang, no matter how hot her heart is, it will be cold."

If you want her to die for you for the rest of your life, how to tie her up, do you understand? ”

She didn't say it too thoroughly.

How well does the Lu family know Jun Hongbai, he is a person who does not leave, and fights backwards.

If she pushed Jun Hongbai onto Shen Qingluan's bed, she was afraid that Jun Hongbai would be ready to flee.

It's better to be half-covered like this, Jun Hongbai will be half-pushed.

Speaking of which, if it weren't for the fear that Jun Hongbai would be too worried about Wen Niang and share it with her for the dowry, she wouldn't have to go to great lengths to match him and Shen Qingluan.

It is expected that Shen Qingluan is such a lively beauty, Jun Hongbai is stained, can he be so cold again?

Hearing this, Jun Hongbai sometimes thought of Du Wenniang's weak face, one moment it was Lu's wrinkled face, and the other time it was Shen Qingluan's gorgeous peony face.

I had a splitting headache for a long time.

The next morning, he woke up groggily, and it was Nan Chun beside the old lady who was serving him.

Jun Hongbai came to his senses.

After washing his face, he asked, "What did the old lady send you to do?" ”

Nan Chun smiled and pulled out a pear vortex, "Madame went back to her parents' house yesterday and hasn't come back today, the old lady sent a slave maid to ask, do you want to send someone to pick it up in person?" ”

Jun Hongbai was silent for a moment, "I'll take a break today and pick her up in person." ”
