Chapter 32: Mirrors as a Gift

Feeling Shen Yanshu's gloomy gaze, Jiang Jasmine's heart jumped suddenly, this look was exactly the same as the look in Qi Yunge's hatred for her at the beginning!

Her feet subconsciously took a step back, and she was a little unsteady on her feet.

Lu Huaimin, who was on the side, quickly helped her up: "Sister-in-law, what's wrong?"

Jiang Jasmine looked at Shen Yanshu again, but what she met was a pair of puzzled eyes, so clear that there were no waves.

Could it be that I am dazzled?

Yes, he must have seen it wrong, how could Qi Yunge still be alive?

She had died in that fire a long time ago, and she could no longer stand in front of her, so what was there to be afraid of!

Jiang Jasmine comforted herself, stabilized her body, and said to Lu Huaimin: "I'm fine, probably because I have been standing for a long time, and my legs are a little sore." ”

"I think there have been a lot of affairs in your mansion recently, and it is normal for Mrs. Lu to be busy, so you should pay more attention to your body. A lady sitting next to her said.

Lu Huaimin was a little unhappy, most of the things in the house were done by the housekeeper and her, and Jiang Jasmine was just tired of receiving some guests.

Jiang Jasmine didn't notice Lu Huaimin's expression, and just said to the lady who had just spoken: "After all, I haven't held such a big banquet before, so it's inevitable that I can't do it well, but I have to learn more from your ladies." ”

"I heard that Mrs. Lu was originally the daughter of a farmer, and it is normal that there are many things that are not suitable for her, so there should be no pressure. Shen Yanshu stepped forward and said with relief.

As soon as her words fell, Jiang Jasmine and Lu Huaimin's expressions immediately changed, if it weren't for Jiang Jasmine still wearing a veil, I am afraid that she would still be able to see her gritting her teeth.

Everyone knows that Lu Huaiyuan and Jiang Jasmine are both people from humble backgrounds, Lu Huaiyuan was once promoted and his worth doubled, Jiang Jasmine and Lu Huaimin also felt that they could be as superior as those young ladies of the family and the ladies of the noble family.

But the reality has dealt them a heavy blow, most of the eunuchs and ladies disdain to be in the company of them who are from peasant families, and even their words are disgusted, so they work hard to learn the etiquette of the eunuch family, try not to make themselves ugly, and do not want to be laughed at again.

Now that he is finally about to step into this circle, Shen Yanshu poked their wounds when he opened his mouth, and put his previous identity on the table, how could he not make them angry?

"What Miss Shen San said is true. Jiang Jasmine replied in a deep voice.

There were so many people present, even if she was angry, she couldn't have a seizure on the spot.

Seeing Jiang Jasmine's unwilling eyes, Shen Yanshu sneered in his heart, this can't stand it, then there will be times when you cry!

"Poria, bring me the gift I'm going to give. Shen Yuyan didn't notice the small details between them, and asked the maid to take out the gift directly.

Seeing this, Xiao Lan also asked people to present their gifts.

Shen Yanshu and Ruan Leyao are naturally no exception.

"I'm a little curious about what kind of gifts they give. A lady said.

Another lady also chimed in: "Yes, I saw the gifts from everyone just now, and I can be regarded as gaining knowledge, and I wonder what these people are giving!"

Everyone has different thoughts, and some ladies have begun to coax to see the gifts given by others.

Jiang Shi saw that all the ladies looked curious, and everyone did give a lot of valuable gifts just now, but he didn't feel that there was anything wrong, so he asked his maid to open the gift box and take a look.

Shen Yanshu smiled secretly in his heart, this Jiang family is really stupid, how can she say that this gift will be dismantled, according to etiquette, it will be introduced by the person who gave the gift himself, if the person who gave the gift is not willing to open it, naturally he can't show it to others at will.

Those ladies who don't think it's a big deal obviously don't understand this, but they just coax because they think Jiang doesn't understand.

Lu Huaimin's face was a little ugly, and he called the maid who was about to open the gift box: "Wait!"

Jiang Jasmine looked at her with some puzzlement.

And the ladies who were coaxing looked at each other, but they were a little embarrassed.

Lu Huaimin said: "If you want to see the gifts given by Miss Ruan, you have to ask the person who gave the gift first, if you give any rare treasures, I have to hide it myself!

This joking tone directly resolved Jiang Jasmine's mistakes, and even the atmosphere eased a lot.

"This girl is really clever, and she even knows how to hide rare treasures!"

"Maybe Miss Ruan and Miss Shen really gave away rare treasures!"

"If so, then I'm even more curious!"

The ladies continued, and everyone also looked in the direction of Ruan Leyao and Shen Yanshu, with an expectant look on their faces, and those who didn't know thought that they were people who had never seen the world.

Shen Yanshu secretly wondered, from the beginning of the banquet in this Lu Mansion, there was a sense of wrongness.

Although Lu Huaiyuan holds the title of a new champion, he is just a fledgling kid in the officialdom, unless he has some amazing talent or has made some great achievements, how can he be promoted from a five-grade writer within a year?

You must know that there are many champion Tanhua who have been in the Hanlin Academy for several years before they have the opportunity to be promoted, and even more, after more than ten years, they are still the little waiters from the Liupin Hanlin Academy.

If it was because Lu Huaiyuan was co-opted by powerful people in the court early on, and even promised to give him a chance to be promoted after destroying the Qi family, then why did so many dignitaries and nobles come to congratulate him?

Could it be that there is something in this Lu Mansion that these people are interested in?

These questions flashed through Shen Yanshu's mind, but it was difficult to find answers for a while.

Facing the eyes of so many people, Ruan Leyao looked free and easy, and just said: "What I gave is all heart, not some rare treasures, don't look at it, otherwise you will be disappointed." ”

Hearing Ruan Leyao say this, Xiao Lan also hurriedly echoed: "Miss Ruan is right, what matters is the heart. The small gift I gave is not good for you to be ugly in front of you. ”

Xiao Lan knew that the things he sent couldn't get into the eyes of these people, so he naturally wanted to mix them up.

Shen Yuyan originally wanted to take it out for everyone to see, after all, the gift she brought was given according to the example of the Taichang Qing Mansion, but it was not like Shen Yanshu's own preparation.

She said: "Since Miss Ruan and Xiao Lan don't take it out, it's not easy for me to take it out, in short, Huaimin likes it." ”

Everyone's expressions were a little disappointed.

Shen Yanshu smiled and stepped forward and said, "Mine is not afraid of being ugly." The gift brought by the fifth sister was sent on behalf of our Shen family, but I prepared another one for Mrs. Lu. ”

"Specially given to me?" Jiang Jasmine was inevitably a little puzzled, "You are Huaimin's friend, why did you give me a gift?"

Shen Yanshu said: "I have heard some of Mrs. Lu's deeds before, and I admire them very much, so I want to take this opportunity to give Mrs. Lu a little heart." ”

She nodded and motioned for a maid beside Jiang to open the gift box in her hand.

The maid opened the gift box and took out a mirror.

This mirror is clearer than ordinary copper mirrors, and there are a lot of colored stones on the back, which looks very delicate.

But when everyone saw that mirror, they were a little surprised on their faces. And the Jiang family was even more angry, staring at Shen Yanshu fiercely.

The mirror has the meaning of "forbidden son", and now that the Jiang family has not given birth to a son and a half daughter to Lu Huaiyuan, isn't Shen Yanshu cursing her! Moreover, there is an ugly scar on Jiang's face, and this mirror is also a humiliation to her.

After Jiang was disfigured, she hated to see the mirror, and when she saw herself in the mirror, she would smash things out of control, and even beat and scold her subordinates, squatting on the ground and crying while scolding.

Over the past year, she has suffered a lot.

She held back the uncontrollable anger in her heart, gritted her teeth and asked, "Miss Shen San, what does this mean?"

Shen Yanshu didn't seem to see the reaction of others at all, his eyes crooked and he smiled.

She explained: "I have heard that Lord Lu was forced by the county lord of Qingyun to be her county master shortly after the middle move, but Mrs. Lu was not afraid of power at all, and sued the county lord of Qingyun to Jingzhao Mansion with a complaint, and bitterly reported the evil deeds of the county lord of Qingyun. ”

"I admire Mrs. Lu's courage very much, she is even more courageous than Lord Lu, and she dares to resist. Fortunately, the county lord of Qingyun died a few days after getting married, which did not destroy the relationship between Lord Lu and Mrs. Lu, and made your husband and wife Qin Se and Ming, very affectionate. So the meaning of this mirror is that Lord Lu and Mrs. Lu are reunited, which is worthy of admiration!"

Shen Yanshu said unhurriedly, and there was no indication on her face that she was deliberate, but there was no hint of admiration in her mouth.

Everyone thought that she was still young and didn't know the taboo of sending mirrors, and her face softened slightly.

But Jiang's face was even paler, Shen Yanshu didn't say it, it was okay, and every word poked at the bottom of her heart.

Since Qi Yunge's death, Jiang was disfigured, and Lu Huaiyuan was reluctant to touch her anymore, in the eyes of others, he and her respected each other, but in private he was like a stranger.

She hates Qi Yunge, Qi Yunge has a family background and beauty that she can't match, and even Lu Huaiyuan's eyes when he looks at Qi Yunge are as gentle as water.

She once asked, are you really doing a fake show, and you really fell in love with Qi Yunge?

He didn't even bother to answer her.

What a piano and song, the affection is very, it is really harsh!

The more she thought about it, the more angry she became, so she picked up the mirror and slammed it on the ground, with a sudden loud bang, and debris splashed everywhere.

Everyone gasped, and even the timid lady had already screamed.

Jiang looked at Shen Yanshu with red eyes, this person who didn't fit her as soon as he came in.

Seeing this, Ruan Leyao directly protected Shen Yanshu behind him.

Shen Yanshu, who was hiding behind Ruan Leyao, could only see the expression on her face at this time, it was a smug smile, and those eyes were actually looking at Jiang very provocatively!

Shen Yuyan said angrily to Shen Yanshu: "What kind of broken gift are you giving!"

Shen Yanshu turned his head and looked at everyone with a panicked expression and explained, "I really just simply admire Mrs. Lu, and I am sincerely happy for her and Lord Lu!"

"How dare you say it!"

Jiang Shi was already a little out of control, she stretched out her hand and pounced in the direction of Shen Yanshu, while Ruan Leyao took Shen Yanshu and hurriedly dodged.

Seeing this, Lu Huaimin hurriedly asked the maid to pull Jiang down, but Jiang didn't know where the brute force came from, and the two maids couldn't pull her, and they were still struggling to catch Shen Yanshu.

Those ladies and ladies were frightened in their hearts, for fear that this Jiang clan would hurt themselves, and they were screaming and dodging at the same time, and the scene became a mess.
