Chapter 31: Enemies Meet

In a blink of an eye, it was the day of rest, and Shen Yanshu still got up and washed as usual.

Xiyan walked in front of Shen Yanshu with two bright clothes, one was a purple silk and emerald patterned skirt, the complicated purple embroidery thread looked very eye-catching, and the other was a vermilion gold peony skirt, the red peony inlaid with gold was also very eye-catching.

These two clothes were made by the Song family according to Shen Yanshu's size a few days ago, Shen Yanshu just glanced at it and asked the green kite to put it away, but he didn't wear it once, but he didn't expect Xiyan to turn it out.

Xi Yan asked: "Miss, when you go to Lufu for a banquet today, do you want to wear something more eye-catching?" On weekdays, Miss wears clothes with light colors, which look too plain, and the slave maid heard that there are many dignitaries who came to Lufu today, but the plain ones are not very good, how about these two?"

Shen Yanshu looked at the two pieces of clothes that Xi Yan was holding, and did not answer, but just shook his head.

Qing Kite looked a little disappointed when she saw Xiyan's face, so she said: "Miss doesn't like to wear brightly colored clothes, but plain white is the most suitable for Miss." ”

Xiyan took out an all-white ripple cloud skirt, although it seemed to be all-white without a trace of decoration, but if you look closely, you will find that this dress is embroidered with blooming white magnolia, lifelike, more suitable than other clothes.

"That's it. Shen Yanshu said, but his eyes were unwavering.

She also loved to wear a red dress, but when she was buried in the vast sea of fire, red had become a deep scar for her.

Even though a year has passed since the Qi family's affairs, it is only a few days for her, how can she accept these bright clothes!

After dressing up a little, Shen Yanshu had already gone out, and the carriage was waiting at the gate of the mansion, but Shen Yuyan was late, and it could be seen that she had put a lot of effort into dressing up.

Lu Huaiyuan is just promoted to a writer from the fifth grade, and it stands to reason that the guests invited will not be very noble, but judging from Shen Yuyan's attention and Xiyan's words, there will probably be a lot of dignitaries and nobles in the Lu Mansion this time.

As soon as Shen Yuyan went out, she saw Shen Yanshu dressed in plain white, even the hair accessories were very simple, but they looked exceptionally pure and flawless, like a magnolia blooming alone on a high branch, delicate and dusty.

"Dressed like this to go to the banquet, those who don't know still think you're going to the funeral!" Shen Yuyan stepped forward and mocked unceremoniously.

Shen Yanshu said lightly: "My sister is dressed like this, and those who don't know think that my sister is going to get married." ”

Shen Yuyan was wearing a red forging skirt, which looked particularly eye-catching, coupled with the golden hairpin on her head and the jade bracelet on her hand, it was really grand.

Although there will always be some small gatherings for the ladies of the family on weekdays, and everyone will dress up, but there are very few banquets like this where you can see foreign men, so everyone will also spend more time, Shen Yuyan is a very obvious example.

When Shen Yuyan heard Shen Yanshu say this, she immediately blushed and scolded: "Who do you say are married?

Shen Yanshu didn't bother to continue talking to her, turned around and stepped on a small stool and got into the carriage with the support of the green kite.

Seeing that Shen Yanshu didn't mean to pay attention to her at all, Shen Yuyan was even more angry, but she could only be angry.

Meng Shi said that even if she started, she was not Shen Yanshu's opponent at all.

Shen Yuyan suddenly wanted to trouble Shen Yanshu just now, probably because she saw Shen Yanshu's flawless face and was still so beautiful even if she wasn't dressed up, she was jealous.

The Shen family's carriage slowly poured in front of the door of the Lu Mansion, and Shen Yanshu looked up as soon as he got out of the carriage and saw the plaque with the word "Lu Fu" written on the gate, which was extremely dazzling.

It's like being pricked in the heart by a needle.

Shen Yanshu recalled that when she and Lu Huaiyuan got married, the house where the Lu family lived was still a small yard bought by their relatives, and at that time, he had only won the champion not long ago, and that courtyard was only a "Lu house".

She still remembered that Lu Huaiyuan at that time was full of joy and said that he liked such a house, although it was not big, but as long as he had her, it was very warm.

Now that I think about it, it's ironic.

In just one year, he had already moved out of the original small courtyard and lived in this large mansion, which looked a little more luxurious than the Shen Mansion.

"Don't act like you've never seen the world, shame!" Shen Yuyan couldn't help but laugh when she saw Shen Yanshu lose her mind.

In the past, Shen Yanshu didn't have any friends, and he rarely went to other homes as guests, but later he was disfigured, and no one was willing to invite him, but didn't he just haven't seen the world?

"Yuyan, why is your sister here too?" A girl who was also wearing a rose-red dress walked over to them, looked at Shen Yanshu for a while, and then said to Shen Yuyan with a smile.

Shen Yuyan pouted and said, "Follow Miss Ruan." ”

Shen Yanshu turned a deaf ear to their conversation, the girl in the rose red dress she had seen twice in Zhaodetang, and she was quite close to Shen Yuyan, the daughter of the servant of the ministry, Xiao Lan.

They entered the Lu family under the leadership of the Lu Mansion, and because they were female dependents, they were taken to the side hall in the backyard.

Along the way, Shen Yuyan and Xiao Lan talked and laughed, but they left Shen Yanshu aside, as if there was no such person at all.

Before he entered the side hall, Lu Huaimin had already greeted him.

"It's time for you, I thought you were going to release my pigeons today!" Lu Huaimin quipped.

Xiao Lan said: "How can we, we are also from the same class, and we are not some cheeky people who came for no reason, how could we not come?"

As he spoke, he looked at Shen Yanshu with a smile and said, "Miss Shen San, did you say it?"

Shen Yanshu is not stupid, how can she not hear that Xiao Lan is referring to her as the cheeky person who came for no reason.

"Miss Xiao thinks that Miss Lu is not the same class or someone who comes cheekily for no reason? Then Miss Xiao should be cautious, because Miss Lu invited many other friends today, is it that Miss Xiao is such a person in Miss Xiao's eyes?"

Xiao Lan said: "Do you know it in your own heart!"

"It turns out that I am a cheeky person who came for no reason. A voice came from behind Xiao Lan, and when everyone looked back, it was Ruan Leyao.

Where would Lu Huaimin have thought that a few of them would quarrel before they entered the side hall, and now that Xiao Lan said this, he didn't give Ruan Leyao and Shen Yan a lot of face, if they continued to say this, I was afraid that they would tear their faces.

She hurriedly stepped forward to persuade her: "How can you say this, the person who comes is a guest, and my Lu family naturally welcomes it!"

Ruan Leyao had already walked to Shen Yanshu's side and said, "Since it's disturbed, Yanshu and I will go back first, so as not to obstruct other people's eyes." ”

As he spoke, he was about to take Shen Yanshu away and leave.

Where was Lu Huaimin willing to let her go like this, hurriedly stopped her, and persuaded her with good words: "Miss Ruan, you are too serious, where will it be disturbing, I am very honored that you can come!"

Xiao Lan didn't expect Ruan Leyao to come out halfway, and she made such a fuss, and she also came off the stage a little.

Lu Huaimin knew that this Ruan Leyao was a straight person, she could do what she said, and if she wanted to leave, she couldn't stop herself, so she glanced at Xiao Lan.

Xiao Lan said with some reluctance: "I didn't say Miss Ruan. ”

"Miss Xiao doesn't have to be embarrassed, I, Ruan Leyao, am not a person without self-knowledge. Ruan Leyao didn't buy it.

Xiao Lan just wanted to deal with Shen Yanshu, as for Ruan Leyao, she couldn't afford to provoke her, if the people in Weng Mansion also thought that she was talking about Ruan Leyao, I was afraid that in two days, Doctor Yu Shi would directly join her father's book.

Thinking of this, even if Xiao Lan was reluctant, he had no choice but to soften: "Miss Ruan, don't mind, I just lost my words for a while, and I didn't mean to target anyone." ”

"That's right, Sister Le Yao, don't mind, Xiao Lan is like this, she doesn't speak lightly or heavily, but she will never have the intention to target others!" Lu Huaimin said, and even the title of Ruan Leyao became intimate.

Ruan Leyao was still unmoved, standing in place and not speaking.

Where could Shen Yanshu not know the little Jiujiu in Ruan Leyao's heart, and pulled her sleeve with a secret smile in his heart.

"Since everyone has apologized, Le Yao, don't be angry, why do you have to deal with a person who can't speak clearly? Shen Yanshu said.

"You ......" Xiao Lan was so angry that he wanted to step forward to theorize, but was grabbed by Lu Huaimin's hand.

Ruan Leyao saw that Shen Yanshu was also angry, so she said: "For Yan Shu's sake, forget it this time." ”

Lu Huaimin breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Since the misunderstanding has been resolved, then please go inside, my sister-in-law can wait in the side hall!"

The sound of "sister-in-law" made Shen Yan stunned for a moment, and a trace of chill emanated from his eyes.

A few of them entered the side hall under the guidance of Lu Huaimin, and at this time there were already a lot of people in the side hall, most of them were ladies from various provinces, who were talking and laughing with Jiang Jasmine.

After meeting Jiang Jasmine and sending congratulatory gifts, the other ladies would go to the garden to enjoy the scenery and chat together, after all, the topics of conversation between the women and the ladies of the boudoir were a little different.

"Sister-in-law, this is Miss Ruan Leyao from the Imperial Doctor's Mansion, Shen Yanshu, the third lady of Taichangqing's Mansion, and Shen Yuyan, the fifth lady, and Xiao Lan from the Servant Mansion. Lu Huaimin introduced.

Jiang Jasmine didn't have an edict in her body, and Lu Huaiyuan's official position was not high, so they just gave Jiang Jasmine a flat salute.

Shen Yanshu looked up at Jiang Jasmine, she was wearing a dark purple dress, she was dressed very decently, this style looked like the official's wife, but with a thin veil on her face, covering her face.

Through the thin veil, Shen Yanshu could vaguely see a long and ugly scar on her face.

Shen Yanshu knew that the scar was stabbed by her, but it was a pity that she couldn't stab this vicious woman to death!
