Chapter 58: Catching the Adulterer
With the identity of the eldest princess, Yu Lan can't act casually. So she especially likes to watch Sun Yijun tear people, that's called a pleasure.
Sun Yijun lived up to Yu Lan's expectations and continued: "Besides, what does the Jiang family's wealth have to do with Mrs. Shen Hou? Could it be that the dignified Hou Mansion still has to rely on Mrs. Shenhou's mother's family to support it?"
"Mrs. Lu spends a lot of money on her husband's family, and I don't know who marries a girl and spends her mother's money to support her husband's family. What kind of grudge do you have with the Jing'an Hou Mansion, such a bad reputation for splashing dirty water. ”
Xu Lingxuan was about to cry angrily, why didn't anyone care about this slut!
"Shut up!"
Xu Lingxuan's eyes were red, and she defended in a panic: "Old Madam Shen, don't listen to her nonsense, I have no intention of doing so." ”
Old Madam Shen naturally understood, but in front of so many people, if this matter was not handled well, the Hou Mansion was afraid that she would really bear this stigma.
Sun Yijun is simply a bad star. Where there is her, there will always be turmoil.
Old Madam Shen had a headache and said: "If you say something from hearsay, Miss Xu Si should be cautious in the future, otherwise it will be too late to harm others and regret yourself." ”
"Yes, I would like to listen to Mrs. Shen's teachings." Xu Lingxuan cried unjustly, and she could only admit it if she had a hard time arguing.
Seeing that the atmosphere was stiff, Shen's mother hurriedly came out of the round and revealed the matter.
But after this trouble, everyone became more and more curious about Jiang Shu's gift and looked forward to it.
In this way, Jiang Shu was in her arms, and she generously instructed Yu Yu to bring the birthday gift she had prepared.
The birthday ceremony is one person tall and covered with red silk, which is very mysterious.
"Something, so big."
"It looks like a big box, but what will be in such a big box?"
Everyone's speculation of what you said and what I said attracted the curiosity of Old Madam Shen and Shen Qingrong.
Jiang Shu stepped forward and tore off the red silk, and the two maidservants unfolded the birthday ceremony.
"It's a screen!"
"There are words written on it, and it seems to be full of longevity characters."
"Baishou Tu, this is Baishou Tu screen."
Jiang Shuwen said: "This is the picture of 100 longevity that I wrote while reciting Buddhist scriptures, wishing my grandmother a long life and a long spring of pine cranes." ”
"Grandmother's birthday, you will send a screen perfunctory?" Shen Qingrong was surprised, he never thought that Jiang Shu's birthday gift would be so cheap.
Jiang Shu glanced at Shen Qingrong, his eyebrows furrowed slightly: "Gift-giving has been about love since ancient times. This is a picture of longevity written by me with a stroke of a word, reciting Buddhist scriptures to pray for my grandmother's blessings, which is rare and incomparable to gold and silver?"
This question, Shen Qingrong, who was blocked, opened his mouth and stammered.
If Shen Qingrong said that it couldn't be compared, it would be that he thought that the Hou Mansion was greedy for money and light on righteousness, which made people despised.
"Who knows if you wrote it, whether you read the Buddhist scriptures or not, it's all your words." Shen Qingrong said angrily.
Jiang Shu sighed lightly: "Filial piety and filial piety, what you look at is the heart." Does my little sister question my filial piety to my grandmother, or does she question my integrity?"
Shen Qingrong wanted to say it, she questioned it!
But before Shen Qingrong could speak, Jiang Shu said again: "The red jade coral sent by the little sister is not picked by the little sister herself, and the second is not bought by the little sister, it was only taken from the Lu family for transfer, and no one questioned the little sister's filial piety to her grandmother." ”
"Or does the little sister think that filial piety is based on the value of gifts?"
Jiang Shu asked questions one after another, and Shen Qingrong, who asked, couldn't answer with a blushing face.
The reputation of the Marquis of Jing'an Mansion has not been very good over the years, but now it has just improved, if it is broken because of a sentence, then Shen Qingrong will become a great sinner.
And Shen Qingrong took the name of Mrs. Lu, and the reputation of the Lu family would also be damaged.
Jiang Shu's digging of this pit can not be said to be poisonous.
"I like this screen very much, Shu'er has a heart." Old Madam Shen spoke out in time to relieve the siege.
Ordinary rice paper, ordinary peach wood, it can be seen that Jiang Shu doesn't want to spend more money.
Compared with the pure gold Buddha statue given on last year's birthday, the jade jade bracelet given on the birthday of the previous year was ...... This year's screen is really not on the table.
But Jiang Shu's clever words made people unable to make mistakes.
"As long as my grandmother likes it, I'll send it to Shouyongtang to put it up, so that my grandmother can look at it every day." Jiang Shu smiled respectfully.
Do you look at her every day?
Old Madam Shen was so depressed that the smile on her face was about to be unable to maintain it.
The ladies and ladies did not know why, and they also admired Jiang Shu's filial piety.
Only Yu Lan and Sun Yijun came out and were puzzled by Jiang Shu's move.
After the luncheon, the opera troupe took the stage to sing, Mrs. Shen and her daughters watched the play in the backyard, and Jiang Shu took Jiang's mother back to listen to the bamboo building.
Before the play was over, Shen Qingrong's maidservant hurriedly came and said something to Shen Qingrong. Shen Qingrong's expression changed and he left the table in a hurry.
Sun Yijun doesn't like to listen to dramas, and when he was bored, he caught a glimpse of Shen Qingrong leaving in a hurry, and followed with a raised eyebrow.
Her intuition told her that there was a drama to watch.
Shen Qingrong walked all the way to a rockery in the garden, hiding beside the rockery and staring at the garden road.
Lu Mingke, who received the news, quickly came and hid in the cave in the belly of the mountain.
Yu Zheng, who came out of the toilet, strode to the front yard with his head held high, and heard someone calling him when he passed by the rockery.
"His Royal Highness King Jing stays."
Yu Zheng was slightly stunned, and when he turned around, he saw a woman in scarlet clothes standing next to the rockery, looking at him in amazement and shyness.
Yu Zheng twisted his eyebrows: "Mrs. Lu?"
Yu Zheng has an excellent memory, although he is not impressed by Shen Qingrong, but he can recognize it when he sees it.
"Your Royal Highness, you still remember me." Shen Qingrong was surprised and delighted, thinking that Yu Zheng had her in his heart.
Looking at the face in front of him that appeared countless times in her dreams, Shen Qingrong seemed to have returned to her girlhood in an instant.
Shy, expectant, delighted.
Yu Zheng bowed slightly, and his tone was detached and indifferent: "Is there something wrong with Mrs. Lu?"
Shen Qingrong wrung his hands, blushed and stumbled: "I just want to ask His Royal Highness King Jing, have you read the letter I wrote to you back then?"
Back then, she wrote a trust Jiang Shu to give to Yu Zheng, hoping that Yu Zheng would be interested in her, and came to the Hou Mansion to propose marriage after reading the letter.
But Jiang Shu told her that Yu Zheng returned the letter.
Therefore, she was determined to marry Pingyang.
After four years, Shen Qingrong is still unwilling and suspicious.
She wanted to ask in person whether Yu Zheng had unintentionally returned the letter to her back then, or whether Jiang Shu was deceiving her.
"Nope." Yu Zheng said frankly.
Shen Qingrong was stunned, and asked urgently, "His Royal Highness King Jing has not received my letter?"
Yu Zhengmo frowned slightly: "Yes, but all the letters sent by the women, this king has returned them and not read them." ”
When Shen Qingrong heard this, he was like being struck by lightning. She asked without giving up: "I have admired His Highness for many years, does His Highness like me a little?"
With such frivolous words, Yu Zheng wrinkled his eyebrows heavily after hearing this, and his expression became cold: "Mrs. Lu is self-respecting. ”
When the words fell, Yu Zheng turned around and left, unwilling to stay for a moment.
Shen Qingrong chased a few steps unwillingly: "I just want to ask Your Highness, have I ever been in His Highness's eyes?"
She just wanted a word from him, and nothing else.
"Never."
Yu Zheng's cold voice drifted into Shen Qingrong's ears with the wind, making her stunned on the spot.
