Yanmenchun

Chapter 24

Shen Tuchan got advice from Kou Wuniang recently, and she practiced swordsmanship very smoothly. In the past few days, she dismissed some uncaring maids in the yard, and planned to use a room in her yard as a practice room.

When the swords were put away, the spring equinox brought tea over, and Shen Tuchan turned around and put the twin swords of stabbing cloud and puffing moon on the shelf.

Chun Equinox presented the tea to her and said, "Miss, Second Miss has returned from Zhuangzi."

Shen Tuchan paused for lifting the tea cover: "You're back? Is there something wrong?"

Chun Equinox shook his head, a little confused: "It is said that he was sick in Zhuangzi, so he was called back to recuperate. But it has not been a month since he went here!"

Shen Tuchan put the empty tea bowl back on the tray, and said indifferently: "She didn't make any big mistakes, maybe it's because she has been raised under the third aunt's lap, and the third aunt loves her daughter so much, let them go!"

Chunfen couldn't figure it out, so he stopped talking about it and waited for Shen Tuchan to take a bath and change clothes.

Today is the fifteenth day, and dinner is served at the old lady's side.

When Shen Tuchan arrived, third uncle Shen Tuye's family and second uncle Shen Tuhong were there, and even several cousins ​​and Shen Tuyu were also there.

Shentuchan is not close to her own brother Shentu Danlin, and she and her cousins ​​can only be called acquaintances.

Shen Tuyu was indeed thinner, her face was pale, and her expression was cautious. When she saw Shen Tuchan looking at her, she quickly got up and saluted, "Long time no see, big sister."

She looked terrified, and saw her father Shen Tuye frowned.

Shentuchan smiled and nodded at her, then turned her head to watch Shentuqi tell the old lady who she saw at Princess Ningguo's birthday banquet two days ago, and which dish was more delicious.

Just as she was talking, Fang smiled and said: "Achan, the ceremony for you to go to Prince Gong's Mansion tomorrow is already prepared, it's not good for you to go often and always empty-handed, I decided to prepare more, and you will take it with you tomorrow. "

There is actually nothing wrong with this statement, but the occasion is wrong, Shen Tuchan told Fang yesterday that Princess Baoqing had sent her a post to invite her to be a guest, she couldn't go empty-handed, so she asked Fang to arrange some gifts for her.

She and Princess Baoqing are just a personal relationship, a friendship between a woman who has not left the cabinet. Fang said it so bluntly at the dinner table, as if she had a close relationship with Prince Gong's mansion. Isn't the unmarried man in Prince Gong's mansion Generally speaking, it is not good for her reputation to speak out, and if this word spreads to Prince Gong's mansion, Princess Baoqing won't think so, others may think that she wants to cling to her, not to mention she is only the first Once it was Prince Gong's Mansion.

Shen Tuchan said with a look of indifference: "It shouldn't be too expensive, it's my first time to go, Princess Baoqing may think that I helped her to testify for her during the autumn hunting, so she invited me, Third Aunt, look at the arrangement Just do it."

Fang Shi nodded, looking hesitant to speak.

No matter how dull Shen Tuchan was, if Fang had a problem once or twice, she knew what was going on.

In the past, she didn't go anywhere at home, and she had few friends, only Feng Yingru and Huo Xiangxiang, both noble girls with similar status to her.

Now that she has been out a lot, in the eyes of outsiders, she has made friends with such nobles as Lord Xianrong, Lord Baoqing, Princess Tai'an, and even Princess Ningguo.

She is also the concubine of the Zhenbei Hou Mansion, and there are only two concubines in this mansion. Shen Tuchan has some, but Shen Tuqi does not. Even Shen Tuqi is happy for several days because she went to a big banquet. There is already a suspicion in my heart.

Do not suffer from widowhood, but suffer from unevenness.

Shen Tuchan waited for Fang Shi to speak, but unexpectedly, it was Shen Tuyu who spoke first: "Third sister is just the age who likes to play, so happy to go out, I heard that Prince Kung's mansion is also resplendent and magnificent, the pavilions and waterside pavilions are so beautiful, big sister and Princess Baoqing has a lot of friendship, why don't you take the third sister with you? There is also a companion."

This is presumptuous, not to mention whether Shen Tuchan and Princess Baoqing are so good that they can bring people to visit casually, she is a concubine, and she is a concubine who asks the eldest daughter to do things at the dinner table.

The old lady's expression faltered, she looked at Shen Tuyu, then at Fang Shi and said: "Young girl Yu suffered a lot in Zhuangzi a few days ago, it's not because she's not feeling well, so she should take care of her when she's not feeling well."

When Shen Tuye heard the words, he glanced at Shen Tuyu, and Shen Tuyu immediately lowered his head as if he had done something wrong.

After going to Zhuangzi, he became so careful and obedient. It seems that Fang really took care of it cruelly.

Shen Tuqi also noticed that Shen Tuyu said the wrong thing, although it sounded like it was for her own good, she looked at her mother who was not very pretty, and then at the smiling elder sister, not knowing what she should say Something, with embarrassment and embarrassment on his face.

Shentuchan looked at Shentuqi from the corner of her eye. She actually didn't hate this third sister, but rather liked her. She was just an older brother. Treat Shentu Qi better, but she doesn't like Fang's plotting against her like this.

At this time, she smiled and raised her eyes to look at Fang: "If the third sister wants to go, I will take her with me. It would be great if you can be my company, but I will write a post tomorrow morning for Princess Baoqing." Say it, or you will be rash and afraid that the princess will be unhappy."

The old lady looked at Shen Tuyu with some dissatisfaction, and then nodded, Fang's brows showed joy, and Shen Tuqi breathed a sigh of relief and glanced at Shen Tuchan.

Shen Tuchan's emotions towards Shen Tuyu are very complicated. She often feels that the life of a concubine is not easy. Except for the incident of Qiushou, she has always been kind to Shen Tuyu. Now it seems that she may hold her grudges because of what happened last time. , I don't know if she is angry in her heart or Fang's mother made her say so.

After the meal, everyone left, Shen Tuchan was talking with the old lady, and Nanny Kong held the old lady's shoulders, while Shen Tuchan helped the old lady light some incense.

Seeing her seriously tinkering with incense seals, the old lady couldn't help but said: "I used to think that your third aunt is a decent lady, but after looking at it for a while, I found that it is not always the case."

Although Shentu Danlin inherits the title in the mansion, but the real affairs of the mansion are now the third house is in charge, there is no sign of Shentu Danlin marrying a wife, there is no need for the old lady to offend the Fang family, but the old lady loves her and takes pity on her Lonely and helpless, she looked down on Shang's small actions.

Shen Tuchan lightly lit the calming incense that had been molded into the shape of a lotus flower, and then covered the lid of the aromatherapy burner, and thin curls of smoke rose into the air.

Only then did the old lady pick up what the old lady said just now: "Grandmother, Third Aunt is also for the good of Third Sister, I understand that. Don't worry! If she doesn't go too far, I won't care."

The old lady squinted her eyes and lay on the rocking chair and recalled the past: "In the past, I was also very arrogant. I didn't look at vulgar things under my nose, I didn't compete with my concubine's house, I didn't fight with my sister-in-law, but now I am here with my children. Dust fell."

Shen Tuchan stared at the incense burner in a daze. Ordinary people's parents might be like this, like County Princess Huixin, Fang's family, and Princess Chang'an. She is actually very envious of Chen Jing and County Lord Xianrong.
