After breaking off the marriage, the Zhuangyuan Lang who was picked up was dressed weakly every day

Chapter 165 Special Care
With Shen Yanhan's special "care", that day, Qin Yuehuai finally ordered the clothes at "Jinyifang" for more than twice the price.

In the days since then, he went to Shen Yanhan's shop every now and then, either to make new clothes or to buy some accessories that he couldn't use now, but he never saw Shen Yanhan again.

This was what he had expected. The young lady was too temperamental and it was not easy to get her to be soft-hearted. He was not much disappointed.

But since he didn't see Shen Yanhan, he couldn't help but feel a little disappointed in his heart.

Especially when I see some old friends from the royal family, I feel the pain in my heart that no one can describe.

It's strange to say that in the past ten years of hiding life, no matter how lonely he was, no matter how worried and painful he was, he could still digest it completely without vomiting a word, but now every time he encounters something difficult , his first reaction was to see Shen Yanhan and tell her something.

As he expected, soon after winning the first prize, he was assigned to the Hanlin Academy.Of course, this is a good position. The Hanlin Academy is in charge of the writing of important imperial edicts. As he serves in it, he naturally knows more official secrets than other departments.

But after all, his true identity is special.

When the Emperor Zigong, Queen Mother Wei and others returned to the Zhou Dynasty, he and his colleagues accompanied Zhao You and some royal relatives to greet them. Seeing the coffins and bottles of the dead and the return dates of the living, he was inevitably touched by the scene and recalled the same time. His parents were kidnapped to Dajin and eventually died in a foreign country, and their bodies have yet to be found.

But now that he is a "Qi Yan", no matter how mixed his feelings are in his heart about these matters, he still looks calm and calm. As a bachelor of the Hanlin Academy, when drafting the edict, he even has to follow the official tone revealed by Shang Feng. Come, praise the return of these people as a beautiful thing that honors the ancestors, and give promotions to the envoys who made it possible.

When the country is destroyed and the family is destroyed, you don't feel ashamed, but you are proud to spend a lot of money to negotiate a peace. How proud of your ancestors!What a reward for hard work!

Qin Yuehuai sneered in his heart, but he was always calm in front of outsiders.

It won't take a day to freeze three feet, and you can't try to turn things around in a hurry.

Thanks to the scars on his face and his stooped back when walking, his facial appearance did not arouse Zhao You's suspicion.Coupled with the invitation to a standing banquet by the dandy Meng Changqing, in less than a month, he had already made preliminary acquaintances with people in the court. With the blessing of being the number one scholar, he had attracted some knowledgeable people to follow him.

The rest will be left to time.

Thinking of this, Qin Yuehuai couldn't help but frown. In terms of political affairs, he could follow the plan and make plans slowly, but with Shen Yanhan, there was no progress and hit the wall again and again. Not only could he not coax her, she would not let him go at all. Not even a chance to coax.

Once again, after getting off duty, Qin Yuehuai stepped into Shen Yanhan's clothing store. Seeing that it was probably too late today, no one hired by the store was there. Only Mu Jin was counting the goods in the cabinet. He stepped forward and said : "Mu Niangzi."

As soon as Mu Jinfu turned around, he heard him asking anxiously: "Is Jiao Jiao here?"

Hibiscus was startled, and then suddenly realized.

When she saw Qin Yuehuai rushing in and heading straight to the second floor in Jinyi Square for the first time, she thought it was her hallucination, and when she heard others call him "Qi Zhuangyuan", she was even more puzzled: This man and the master had only a few scars. Who is the identical husband?Later, when she saw Shen Yanhan put on a lot of ointment and went upstairs with a smile on his face, she had a lot of guesses, but she didn't ask these questions that she shouldn't ask.

Today's "Qi Zhuangyuan" is so straightforward. She no longer knows that the person in front of her is Qin Yuehuai. It would be too stupid and betray his trust in her.

However, trust is trust, and Qin Yuehuai's move did not help.

Mu Jin was shocked for a moment and then came to her senses. She looked at Qin Yuehuai sympathetically and shook her head at him, "My wife is not here."

Her eyes were a little wandering, and she did not dare to look at him directly again. After speaking, she turned a little away from the stairs, and was busy counting the goods she had just counted. This was obviously a sign of guilty conscience.

Qin Yuehuai glanced upstairs from the corner of his eye, and then asked Mu Jin: "Don't she take care of the shop herself?"

Hibiscus looked at him again.

Seeing the obvious disappointment in the gentle eyes of the jade-faced man, Hibiscus hesitated for a moment and did not understand Shen Yanhan's original words: "Don't let outsiders set foot on the second floor. I don't want some people to stare at me like a thief." After she said it, she later realized that Shen Yanhan was not talking about Sanlang Zheng, but the person in front of her, and said, "My wife feels a little uncomfortable here."

Qin Yuehuai asked: "Why don't you feel comfortable?"

She saw Qin Yuehuai walking towards this place just as he stood at the window. Shen Yanhan, who was squatting and hiding by the handrail of the stairs on the second floor, sneered in his heart: You are now a dignified Hanlin Academy bachelor with a generous salary, but you are showing off your power with a look on your face. My waiters were seduced by their beauty, and they told them that they had already told me that they were just buying my clothes on credit. How could I feel comfortable?
Thinking of this, Shen Yanhan's eyes showed anger, he looked downstairs and snorted silently.

Hibiscus downstairs stammered: "It's just...it's just that the weather is too hot...Madam, Madam..."

Qin Yuehuai lowered his eyes and looked at Mu Jin's embarrassment, and said for her: "But because I am pregnant, there are so many people coming and going here, how inconvenient is it?"

Hibiscus breathed a sigh of relief, "Well, yes, it is."

Before she could react, Qin Yuehuai asked, "How long has she been pregnant?"

Mu Jin didn't know that Qin Yuehuai had known about Shen Yanhan's pregnancy for a long time, or whether it was a trap set by Qin Yuehuai. She thought in her mind that you would be gone for as long as you wanted, and said in the same way as she would talk to outsiders: "Four months." There’s more left.”

Qin Yuehuai frowned and asked, "When did you find out about the pregnancy?"

Mu Jin saw confusion on his face and looked at him with complicated eyes.The anti-pregnancy soup he used to take was all prepared by her personally, but now she can't confess to Qin Yuehuai about Shen Yanhan's false pregnancy, and she can't help but worry that Qin Yuehuai might be suspicious of his wife, which is why he is so suspicious. He acted like he was doing it and replied anxiously: "I found it in April."

Qin Yuehuai continued to ask: "How did you find out? But you felt sick after hearing something?"

Shen Yanhan, who heard the conversation between the two people upstairs clearly, snorted again. She understood that Qin Yuehuai was trying to find out about Mu Jin, and she accused Qin Yuehuai of being really cunning, so she listened to Mu Jin and said to him honestly: "Uncle. After missing for a long time, the lady knew that someone was coming to propose marriage, so she invited a doctor..."

Qin Yuehuai interrupted her and asked straight to the point: "Who came to propose marriage?"

Hibiscus: "Qin family."

Qin Yuehuai understood.It turned out that Wen Rong was the one who got in the way and wanted to dedicate Shen Yanhan to her loyal Wang family.

After a moment of silence, he adjusted his mood, his face looked warm, and he raised his lips and said to Hibiscus, "She is already a member of the Qin family."

This Qin family is not that Qin family, he is saying that she belongs to his Qin Yuehuai family.Shen Yanhan stretched his legs, which were numb after squatting for a long time, with a disdainful look on his face: "I'm dreaming!"
Mu Jin couldn't answer Qin Yuehuai's words, so she could only smile politely, but her heart couldn't help but beat a drum - who is the master's name?
Qin Yuehuai took out a letter from his sleeve, faced upstairs, and said, "I'm going out of town in a few days. I won't be back until more than a month ago. I'd like to trouble Mrs. Mu to take care of her."

Hibiscus took the letter he handed over and nodded in agreement.

After Qin Yuehuai left, Shen Yanhan walked downstairs with an unhappy expression. Mu Jin hurriedly handed the letter in his hand to her, "Madam, Master Lang gave it to you."

Shen Yanhan raised his chin slightly, "Who is the master of your family? Don't lie!" Mu Jin choked and thought to herself, you were the one who said he was, and you were the one who said he was not. She saw Shen Yanhan staring in the direction where Qin Yuehuai disappeared. , frowning and said: "Then so-and-so owes me so much money, remember to ask for it next time, and always give it on credit. It's not easy for me to continue my small business."

Mu Jin naturally understood who "who" Shen Yanhan was talking about. Seeing that Shen Yanhan deliberately blackmailed Qin Yuehuai with a high price, Qin Yuehuai accepted a lot of debts happily. The two of them were like one willing to fight and the other willing to suffer. Sincerely Shiyi thought it was a good thing that Master Lang showed up. Although his identity was unknown, his relationship with Shen Yanhan was unclear now.

It's much better than disappearing without a trace.

She covered her mouth and smiled, looked at Shen Yanhan meaningfully and said, "I know, it seems that all the husband's future salary will be handed over to you, my wife."

Shen Yanhan's heart fluttered, but she turned around and glared at Mu Jin, with a reproachful look on her face: "What nonsense are you talking about? It's natural to pay back debts. Who makes so-and-so like to wear new clothes and always choose the best grade?"

Mu Jin smiled and said: "Yes, yes, he has a high vision and picked the 'best quality', so the price he has to pay is extremely high."

Shen Yanhan pretended not to understand, snorted coldly and said, "Go home."

Mu Jin took Qin Yuehuai's letter all the way back to Shen's house, and finally placed it on her bedside.

Shen Yanhan saw this through the mirror on the dressing table. She pretended not to notice Mu Jin's movements and said nothing.After Mu Jin closed the door for her and left, she sat on the edge of the bed, moved very little like a thief, gently tore open the envelope and read it.

Qin Yuehuai actually wanted to go to the Huaihe River area.

But he is just a bachelor of the Imperial Academy. If he is not drafting documents for officials in Lin'an Mansion, what is he doing wandering around?
Shen Yanhan stared at the simplified version of himself drawn by Qin Yuehuai on another piece of paper, and sneered at least three times in his heart.

Who wants to see you?

*
The wind blows in the daytime, the scenery rushes to the west, and it's July in the blink of an eye.

The fifth day of July was Shen Guci's birthday. With Wen Rong's help, the Shen family held a small family dinner.

After hearing about the arrangement, Shen Yanhan wanted to use the busy business as an excuse not to participate. After all, the father-daughter relationship between Shen Guci and her was indeed not much, but she made a desperate move and left Qi Yun to her dowry house. After selling Weiben and opening a clothing store, she could only live in the Shen Mansion temporarily, taking advantage of others' shortcomings and being soft-spoken. As the eldest daughter, she finally went to the banquet to express her filial piety.

Because this banquet was a family banquet, no outsiders were invited to participate. However, the matron of the family, Wen Rong, arranged everything grandly. Not only did she invite a famous chef from Lin'an Mansion to come to the house to cook the banquet, but she also paid a lot of money to invite a chef from Washili. The troupe came to perform, and she tried her best to show that the whole family respected Shen Gu Ci, so as to bring the couple's relationship, which had become increasingly indifferent recently, closer.

Shen Guci looked on coldly at Wen Rong's fanfare.

Wen Rong's unauthorized disposal of Shen Yanhan's dowry house behind his back and the arrival of bandits from Lijiazhai have now become two thorns in his heart. He is said to be perseverant. Being ugly means being stubborn. Once you have decided on something, it is extremely difficult to change your point of view. Seeing Wen Rong deliberately trying to please him, he was completely hard-hearted and did not feel very moved.

At the banquet table, Wen Rong toasted to him on behalf of his children. Shen Guci even wanted to refuse: "Maybe it's because of the overheated weather these days. I'm feeling dizzy, so I won't drink. I'll just drink some herbal tea."

The smile on Wen Rong's face faltered.

She couldn't count how many days had passed. Shen Guyi always came home late from his duties at the Imperial College. When he came back, he would go into the study instead of having dinner with the mother and son. The rule of eating at the same table was overturned, and she would often rest in the study at night. Even if she occasionally returned to the house, there would be no response to her advances.

She couldn't see Shen Guci's changes clearly. She was unwilling, aggrieved, and painful... She didn't have these emotions, but what could she do?Shen Guci didn’t seem to care at all!

She still raised her arms and held the wine glass with both hands, wondering if Qi Yun was facing the same husband when he left Shen's house. She did not show any dissatisfaction with Shen Guci on her face, and persuaded: "Master , this is the 'Chengzhou Brew' specially prepared for you by the eldest lady, please try some of it."

Shen Gu resigned and looked at Shen Yanhan in surprise, "Did you prepare it?"

There was nothing to hide, so she wrote to her maternal uncle's house to ask her uncles how to do business, and they asked someone to bring her a lot of this wine, saying that it could be given as gifts to customers in the shop during the holidays.

She has many altars, so it is not difficult to give Shen Guci some to drink. Shen Yanhan nodded, "Yes."

Seeing that Shen Guci seemed a little moved, she added impatiently: "My uncles gave me a lot anyway."

Shen Guci stared at Shen Yanhan, and the lively scene when he first entered Qi's house in Chengzhou flashed before his eyes.That day, Qi Yun's brothers were eager to protect their sister, but they drank a lot of wine from him, an outsider.

He was so drunk that he was so drunk that he got a blessing in disguise and took advantage of this to live in Qi's house. Those days were such interesting and promising days... He suddenly moved and felt his eyes burning.

After enduring his emotions, Shen Guci said to Shen Yanhan, "Just drink some with me."

Wen Rong was shocked and didn't want Shen Guci to personally persuade Shen Yan to drink wine.

Shen Yanhan immediately refused: "I'm still pregnant."

However, Shen Guci persisted, poured a glass for her and handed it to her, saying, "A small sip is fine."

Shen Yanhan suddenly felt angry and said rudely: "How can anyone advise a pregnant woman to drink? Who's to blame if she drinks something bad?"

Shen Guci's expression froze.

At this time, Wen Rong intervened and said: "I went to Dongshi to buy some fruit wine. The alcohol content of this wine is very low. The seller said that even children can eat it. How about you, big girl, take this instead and have a drink with your father? ?”

Shen Yanhan looked at the glass of rich wine handed over by Wen Rong and did not take it.

Wen Rong said to Shen Hui and Shen Yu again: "You two, brother and sister, also toast to daddy."

The two of them were obedient and offered a toast to Shen Guci seriously. Shen Guci drank it happily without refusing.

The younger brothers and sisters all expressed their opinions. Seeing this, Shen Yanhan had to pretend to be a dutiful son to the end. Finally, he took the wine handed by Wen Rong, said his congratulations, clinked the glasses with Shen Guci, and then drank it all in one gulp.

The atmosphere at the table finally relaxed, and the family finished their meal calmly.

But not long after the meal, not only Shen Yanhan, but also everyone who had drank fruit wine today felt a little unwell.
