Jin Tingjiao

Chapter 132 Re-entering the Tiger's Den
Shen Xi closed the door and waited until there was movement from the attic opposite, and then lay down in the crack of the door to see He Lanzhun leading someone downstairs, then returned to the case and sat down.

He Lanzhun is an important minister beside King Yan, and he also knows that this is Xiao Huai's territory, and she is bound by a ten-year contract. Even if she avoids it today, there will still be many opportunities to meet her in the future.

It's impossible for her to avoid like this every time, and she still has to find a way to get rid of his attention to her once and for all.

Only by getting rid of his suspicion, can she find an opportunity to dig out his life experience.

But he walked in Dazhou with this face, just wondering if there is anyone who doubted his life experience like her?

There should be a considerable number of people in the court who are the same age as Xu Jing. Given King Yan's age, and he was also a general of the Great Qin Dynasty, it stands to reason that he has met Xu Jing.

If he had, how did He Lanzhun, who had the same appearance as Xu Jing, become his confidant?

This man is really a mystery.

Just thinking about it here, suddenly the door was knocked.

Then they were pushed away, and a large amount of skylight leaked in, and a tall and strong man stood like a mountain against the light, standing under the door and said: "At noon tomorrow, come here again."

Shen Xi didn't know why, but seeing his cold face, he couldn't refuse, so he hummed and nodded.

Come on, come on, anyway, she wants to ask him what's going on with He Lanzhun. He is familiar with them, so he might have an idea.

After Xiao Huai explained, he went downstairs and left.

After Shen Xi pounded the remaining pieces of jade and handed them over to Liu Ling, he also went back to the residence.

Aunt Pei came to welcome the gate of the courtyard, and she asked as she walked, "Is the old man back?"

She was still thinking about Xiao Huai asking for credit for him.

Aunt Pei said: "Not yet."

She nodded and went back to Rikain.

It stands to reason that Shen Ruopu will receive the news soon. Although there may not be any shortages for promotion right now, it will be beneficial if the merits are realized.

In the afternoon, when she was listening to Shen Liang reciting poems, Shen Ruopu sent someone to take her to Wanrong Hall.

"The emperor rewarded me today."

As soon as he entered the door, he heard him say with burning eyes: "It's Chen Xiu's case. I inquired about it, and it turned out that it was the booklet that Prince Yan's son handed over to the Ministry of Officials, and he invited me for credit.

"It seems that what you said is right. Fortunately, you didn't go to tell the King of Yan that Chen Xiuzhi was wronged in his death. Otherwise, not only would you not get this award, but you would also offend others."

Shen Xi also heaved a sigh of relief, and said with a smile: "Grandfather does his best, this reward is deserved."

Shen Ruopu stroked his beard and smiled.

After thinking for a while, he turned around and took a bunch of small paper boxes from the table: "The snacks offered by the queen mother in the palace, the little girls like them, you can eat them."

Shen Xi took it and opened it, and there were some delicate pastries.

Not only did the palace give a commendation, but there was also a reward, which made her face bigger.

It's just that this face is mostly due to Xiao Huai, otherwise, how could it be won with the strength of the Shen family?

From this, it can be seen that the status of Yan Wangfu is really special.

Now Shen Xi is also calm, and there has been no movement for many days, so that she has not found the opportunity to dig out the future situation from her mouth.

I don't know what the future of the Shen family will be like without her.
"To the old man, Mr. Chen from Lizi Hutong is asking to see you."

At this time, Fu'an came in to report.

Shen Ruopu hurried out the door.

This commendation order really brought Shen Ruopu a lot of honor.

From the next noon, the number of guests visiting the door increased significantly.

Although Shen Xi stayed in Lixiangyuan and never went out, the news outside did not escape her ears.

The next morning, the female relatives of the Shaoqing Mansion of Dali Temple came to visit Mrs. Huang again, and came to add makeup to Shen Xin.

Shen Xi asked Shen Xin to go back to the courtyard to answer the salute, instead of coming over.

After breakfast, I tidied up, looked at the blue sky and clear wind, and took the maids with small copper hooks to pick Sophora japonica flowers under the Sophora japonica tree.

Suddenly, Ping Shuang came over with a look of astonishment on his face: "Miss, the Second Mistress Qiu of the Han family has brought someone to invite you over for tea."

Qiushi? !
Shen Xi was stunned when he heard this, and couldn't help turning his head to look at the gate of the courtyard. He saw a well-dressed nanny standing under the porch. The dress was exactly the same as the maid she saw by Qiu's side last time!
She went down the small wooden ladder in a hurry, good guy, she was looking forward to the stars and the moon, and finally she was here!

"Is grandma okay?" She walked over and asked with a smile.

The mother-in-law bowed her head: "Returning to the girl, grandma has missed the girl a lot recently."

The salutation is back to the salute, but the respect in the mother-in-law's eyes is gone.

Shen Xi didn't care too much, even the servants of the Shen family looked down on others, let alone the Han family?

She thought for a while, then asked her mother-in-law to wait, then went back to her room and changed into another clothes.

Pearl said: "Miss, are you going to Han's house right away? What about Shizi?"

Of course, she already knew who the owner of Qionghua Terrace was behind the scenes. Prince Yan's son was obviously more powerful than Qiu Shi. She didn't understand why she valued Qiu Shi's invitation so much.

Shen Xi suddenly remembered this incident, paused the hand that inserted the hairpin, and then said: "It's still early, there is still time to go to Han's house first and then see him."

Xiao Huai's finding her a womanizer was nothing important, now Shen Xi was the only one left in the Shen family to settle the matter, and she should focus on the Han family next.

On Wen Chan's side, she had already taken incense and thrown stones to ask for directions, this time, she had to try to meet her.

But if she is late, I don't know if he will be angry?
But on second thought, who cares about him!

In front of the revenge of killing her life, even if he was standing in front of her, she would not give up this opportunity no matter what.

"You ask Wang'er to go to Qionghuatai and tell Sheng Liu Ling that I have something to delay and I have to go later."

After putting on her make-up, she stared in the mirror in silence for a while, and finally gave an order.

Then he wrapped the few boxes of incense and some small embroideries that he had prepared earlier, and led the pearls out the door.

It's been almost a month, and Qiu's ability to stand still until now is really a big deal.

It stands to reason that she couldn't wait so long, did she just hang out on purpose, or was something delayed by the Han family?
But the Han family has become so embarrassing, what else can make her, the second grandmother, want to try to please Wen Chan?

After pondering all the way here, it didn't take long to arrive at the Han Mansion.

This time I came here with ease.

Following the original road that day, he entered Hanran Hall, and heard Qiu's crisp laughter from afar.

After listening carefully, she said: "This is a good thing! What can I say?"

After stepping through the second gate, I saw several young female relatives standing in the inner courtyard.

Today Qiu is wearing a long bikini armor with a water red pomegranate skirt, which is a bit more charming than the nobleness last time.

The other two standing next to her were girls dressed as official ladies, both of them were about the same height.

The oval face with the lotus-colored cardigan shirt, the willow-leaf eyebrows, the big eyes are full of affection, the corners of the mouth are smiling, white and plump, gentle and amiable, very eye-catching.
