Chapter 45: Centrifugation
Shen's mother and widow have lived for many years, and the courtyard is very lonely.
When he had nothing to do, he played with flowers and plants to pass the time, and also raised a lion dog to relieve boredom.
Shen Changze walked into Tinglan Courtyard and saw Shen's mother pruning the flowers and trees, Mama Su followed to pick up the branches and leaves, and the lion dog played around them.
"Mother, Mama." Shen Changze approached to greet him.
Hearing the sound, the lion dog ran over happily, looking up at Shen Changze and wagging his tail.
"Master Hou is here, come into the house and talk." Mama Su took the scissors from Shen's mother's hand and let the mother and son enter the house.
"Snowball, come here." The dog followed and ran into the house, and Mama Su hurriedly called it back.
Shen's mother cleaned her hands and sat down after entering the house.
"What did my mother call me for?" Shen Changze asked straight to the point.
Mama Su brought tea into the house and served it to the mother and son.
Mother Shen took it and drank half of it, and then spoke slowly: "Jinchu and Lingyi are both pregnant, but Shu'er has not heard any news for a long time, you have to hurry." ”
Shen Changze frowned: "This is a private matter between me and her, and my mother will leave it alone." ”
"How can I not care? Shu'er is the wife you are marrying, she was the first to enter the house but she has never been pregnant, what do you let others say about her. Shen's mother spoke earnestly and persuasively.
Since Shen Changze returned to Beijing, Jiang Shu's changes have been very obvious, and if he continues like this, he is afraid that Jiang Shu will be separated from Shen Changze.
Shen Changze twisted his eyebrows, remembering Jiang Shu's attitude yesterday, his voice was cold: "The twisted melon is not sweet." ”
It's not that he didn't take the initiative to get close to Jiang Shu, but he was pushed away by Jiang Shu. Since she didn't want to, then he didn't bother to force it.
He wanted to wait for her to regret it and take the initiative to give in.
"What do you mean?" Mother Shen looked dazed.
Shen Changze didn't want to say more, but turned to explore: "Mother, who has Jiang Shu been close to and familiar with in the past few years?"
Mother Shen nodded: "Yes, she is good friends with the eldest princess, and she will make an appointment to go to Shangxiang or meet at the house every three or two months." ”
"Except for the eldest princess?"
"Then there will be none."
"Maybe there is, but my mother doesn't know?" Shen Changze did not give up.
Mother Shen said firmly: "Impossible, she will inform me every time she leaves the mansion, and she will be accompanied by guards from the mansion, and she will report to me when she comes back." ”
Shen's mother's words reminded Shen Changze, and he decided to ask the guards who often went out of the mansion with Jiang Shu.
"If the mother has nothing else to do, the son will leave." Shen Changze was impatient.
Shen's mother said, "I haven't finished yet." ”
Shen Changze could only listen patiently.
"Today I went to see Shu'er and talked to her. When I asked her to do the calculations for you, she refused, what did you do to upset her?"
A few days ago, Jiang Shu tried his best to give advice to Shen Changze, why did he suddenly change his personality today? Mother Shen felt strange, and only after coming back and being reminded by Mama Su suddenly realized.
Listening to Shen's mother's words, he made him bow his head in front of Jiang Shu, and Shen Changze was very unhappy.
Mother Shen didn't seem to see it, and continued: "Only if you let Shu'er die for you, will she willingly calculate for you, and through the eldest princess to catch King Jing, you will be able to prosper in the court in the future." ”
"I'm going to work hard and I don't have to catch up with others." Shen Changze immediately retorted.
If it's someone else, Yu Zheng will never be able to.
Shen Changze understood that King Jing was a big tree, but he didn't want to lose his dignity in front of King Jing.
"Why are you so stubborn, officialdom is a gang and faction, and officials protect each other. You are so stubborn, but you will suffer. "Mother Shen is in a hurry.
Shen Changze said: "King Jing is not the only one in the court, and King Jing is not the best candidate. If you want to make friends, why not make friends with the prince. ”
Mother Shen was stunned when she heard this: "Can you catch the prince?"
If you can catch the crown prince, it will naturally be the best, after all, it is the next emperor.
"The prince is just and humble, and knows how to make good use of people. As long as I am disciplined and capable, I will always be seen and accepted by the prince. Shen Changze's expression was solemn and confident.
Hearing him say this, Shen's mother stopped persuading.
Although she is a woman in the house, she also understands the truth that one minister is disloyal to the other masters.
Coming out of Tinglan Courtyard, Shen Changze ordered Huo Chong to find the guards who often followed Jiang Shu out of the mansion and inquired carefully.
"Madame rarely goes out of the house, mostly to meet the eldest princess or go back to the Jiang Mansion to visit. Occasionally, I go to the street to see the ornaments brocade and buy some pastries to eat. ”
"In addition to the eldest princess and the people in Jiang's mansion, have you also met with other people?" Shen Changze asked.
The subordinate guard struggled to remember, and shook his head.
There was a guard who said: "Last time, when the lady and the eldest princess returned to Beijing from Zhaojue Temple, they met King Jing and Yu Shizi outside the city. ”
"What happened?" Shen Changze immediately asked, his expression tense.
The guard said, "Just the ordinary salute, and said a few words." ”
"Nothing else?"
"The little one remembered that Mrs. asked Yu Shizi for a rabbit."
Yu Yuan?
Shen Changze was stunned, how could he get involved with that demon king of the world again.
Shen Changze's mind was knotted, and he didn't come up with a reason, so he had to give up for the time being.
In the Xianglan Courtyard, Xu Lingyi looked at the door frequently, and the food she was waiting for was almost cold, and Shen Changze came back.
When eating, Shen Changze was absent-minded, picking up the rice in the bowl and not picking up the vegetables.
Xu Lingyi knew at a glance that he had something on his mind, but she didn't ask sensibly, and only put the dishes in his bowl.
It is precisely because Xu Lingyi is sensible and considerate that Shen Changze will feel relaxed when he is with her, so he is willing to come to Xianglanyuan.
After the meal, Xu Lingyi waited for Shen Changze to take a bath.
The slippery soft water roamed on the bare chest, causing Shen Changze to snort continuously, reaching out to pull the initiator into the water.
"Master Hou, no." Xu Lingyi blushed and stopped.
"What's wrong?" Shen Changze's voice was hoarse, and he was already moved.
Xu Lingyi said shyly: "Doctor Fang said that it is not suitable to have sex if she is pregnant. ”
"And what about it?" Shen Changze's face was red and his neck was thick.
Xu Lingyi stretched out her hand and leaned into the water, looked at Shen Changze with silky eyes and said, "Is it feasible for the concubine to wait for the Hou Ye in a different way?"
Can he say no?
Shen Changze closed his eyes and let Xu Lingyi play with him.
Looking at Shen Changze's handsome face and sturdy body, Xu Lingyi's eyes were bright and full of admiration.
This is the man she fell in love with at a glance and waited for many years to get it.
Even if she is pregnant, she will not let other women take advantage of it.
The Marquis of Jing'an's Mansion can have two wives, but only one concubine can have her.
can't be a wife, and being able to enjoy exclusive love is also a winner.
It rained on July 16, and the weather cooled down all of a sudden.
It just so happened that Jiang Shu's knees were almost healed, and he was able to walk on the ground.
After a few days, she was bored and couldn't wait to go downstairs for activities.
"Ma'am." Tanyu breathed in the courtyard and sat on a chair to greet him.
Jiang Shu walked over and asked her, "Do your feet still hurt?"
Tan Yu lied: "It doesn't hurt, you can wait for Mrs. for a few more days." ”
Jiang Shu saw through her clumsy lies at a glance, and said with a calm face: "I have someone waiting, you can recuperate with peace of mind." If you have any discomfort, immediately say to the doctor girl, don't be afraid of trouble, don't be afraid of spending silver, just pick up the medicine, your wife and I have silver. ”
"Madame is too good to the slave." Tanyu snorted movingly.
Jiang Shu said: "If you cry, I will deduct it from your monthly money." ”
Tan Yu immediately held back her tears.
A good woman has tears and doesn't flick!
