Destroyed outside, gold and jade inside

Chapter 138
"In the past, the fourth lady didn't know who she was, but now she knows that Mr. Lang's character is too bad, so she doesn't bother to meet you. You really don't know yourself very well!" Jin Xiang was not afraid of him, and she raised her eyes and smiled sarcastically.

Gongsun Lan stood aside, looking at the extremely curious scene in front of him with great interest.

"What about her?" Qin Ran asked, looking down at Shen Siniang, ignoring Jin Xiang's words.

Shen Siniang shook her head and said nothing, as if she didn't want to talk to Qin Ran again.

"Where's your sister?" Qin Ran raised his voice slightly and asked again.

Shen Siniang still shook her head.

"Where is my wife going? It's none of your business?" Jin Xiang said angrily.

Qin Ran took a step closer, and Shen Siniang immediately took a step back in panic, trying to widen the distance between the two of them.

Gongsun Lan couldn't see it, she thought the two were old acquaintances, and there was no room for her to intervene here.But now it seems that this is not the case at all.

"What are you doing, sir? Molesting a lady from a good family?" Gongsun Lan turned around and stood in front of Shen Siniang.

Qin Ran frowned slightly, "This is my family's business!"

"It's in the palace. It's a family matter. Let's go home and talk about it! I don't care about your family relationship. Once you enter the palace, I only talk about the palace!" Gongsun Lan said with a smile, but the expression on her face was not at all. You're welcome.

Qin Ran frowned, "Si Niang?"

Shen Siniang lowered her head and lowered her eyes, but didn't speak.

"Aren't you leaving? Dare to break into Deng Tuzi in the palace? If you don't leave, believe it or not, I'll beat you up?" Gongsun Lan raised her index finger, rubbed the tip of her nose in a cool and handsome way, and looked at Qin Ran provocatively.

Qin Ran smiled helplessly, "You hit me?"

Gongsun Lan snorted softly, "I'm not afraid that I won't be able to beat you. As long as we make a move, the hidden guards of the imperial guards around here will definitely rush up. I am a little lady, and I am not afraid of being ashamed, but I just don't know that Mr. Lang was arrested as a disciple. Will it embarrass the family?"

Qin Ran was choked speechless for a while, and turned around with a flick of his sleeves.Before leaving, he took another deep look at Shen Siniang before leaving.

Hearing the sound of his footsteps gradually receding, the aura that made her both familiar and strange to her gradually faded away.

Shen Siniang seemed to have lost her strength, her legs went limp, and she fell to the ground and sat down.

With sharp eyes and quick hands, Jin Xiang quickly supported her, "Fourth Lady, it's all right, he's gone!"

Although Shen Siniang is still weak in front of Qin Ran, Jin Xiang feels that she has improved a lot. If the old Shen Siniang must have been eager to tell the young master of the Qin family everything she knew, right?No matter whether her wife waits to see the young master of the Qin family or not, she will rush forward involuntarily.

It's different now!Shen Siniang is also protecting her own wife in her own silent way!
Jin Xiang helped Shen Siniang to sit down on her knees behind the food table.

Gongsun Lan raised the corner of her mouth lightly, "You sisters have very different personalities."

Shen Siniang breathed a sigh of relief before she spoke, "My sister has a tough personality, if I have half of my sister, I will be satisfied."

Gongsun Lan shook her head slightly, "Each has its own advantages, don't be too forceful, come, have some tea, don't be afraid of being a disciple!"

At this time, Shen Xinniang was walking with Fang Yan in the winding corridor.

Five steps, one pavilion, ten steps and one pavilion, the palace buildings are complicated and exquisite.If you have free time, it would be wonderful to indulge in it.

"I never knew that you were so interested in business?" Fang Yan walked beside her and asked softly.

Shen Xinniang paused for a moment before she spoke, "I am interested in anything that will allow me to achieve my goal."

Hearing the words, Fang Yan looked at her sideways, his eyes were deep and unclear, and after a long while, he sighed, "Then why have you never been interested in my help?"

Shen Xinniang looked up at him, her dark eyes were bottomless, "Who said that?"

Fang Yan's footsteps faltered slightly.

The only sound in the corridor was the footsteps of three people. In order not to make too much noise, Dan Xin even walked on tiptoe.

Fang Yan and Shen Xinniang turned their faces sideways, and their eyes met, which made the atmosphere in the corridor a bit subtle.

"Didn't you already help me?" Shen Xinniang said softly.

Fang Yan frowned slightly, "Really?"

"About Lingshan, about the cause and effect of Mu Ling, it should be the secret hidden in the deepest part of your heart, right?" Shen Xinniang said, "But you told me without reservation."

Fang Yan was silent for a moment.

The three of them stood still in the corridor, Shen Xinniang and him looked at each other.

However, the sudden sound of footsteps interrupted the tranquility of the corridor, and the sound of birds chirping outside the corridor.

"Why is Prince Qi still here? He's so busy meeting the beauties that he doesn't even care about the court affairs?" Yu Tai stepped forward with a hint of a joke on his face.

"How come, what I said to the beauty is serious!" Fang Yan also said with a smile, "It's just for the sake of the Holy Majesty to invite each other. In private, when can we meet? There will be no one to interrupt, why bother?" In the palace?"

Yu Tai chuckled lightly, and his eyes fell on Shen Xiniang, "Ms. Shen is a woman, her courage cannot be underestimated. Now she has become a big businessman who occupies half of the ten-mile long street in Nanshi City, and behind her is Prince Qi." Escort, is life really worry-free?"

Shen Xinniang looked at him indifferently with her dark eyes, but didn't answer.

Yu Tai talked to himself, "I heard that Mrs. Shen went to the Sanxian Qin's house in Pyongyang a few days ago? I don't know if this visit is for the public and private?"

"Uncle Guo is very concerned about my concubine?" Fang Yan's tone was displeased.

Yu Tai smiled, "At first I paid attention because of Prince Qi, but now I find that Mrs. Shen is really interesting. I'm not afraid of the prince's jokes. I'm really interested in Mrs. Shen, but I don't know if the prince is willing to part with her?"

Dan Xin blushed immediately upon hearing this.

Are Yu Tai's daughters about the same age as his wife?To say such a thing in person?Shameless!

Although in their status, giving each other beauties and concubines, old couples and young wives is really nothing.But how could he be able to tease the lady?Dan Xin bit her teeth so painfully that she wished she could step forward and slap Uncle Na Yu a few times.

"Uncle Guo is right, how can I be willing to part with it? Such a wonderful person, my baby is too late!" Fang Yan said coldly, "Uncle Guo, let's take it easy!"

Uncle Yu Guo smiled, "Prince Qi doesn't seem like someone who can linger on his children's affair, so reluctant to let go, it seems that Mrs. Shen is too different."

"Since it's a private relationship between a child and a daughter, it can be seen from private characters. Whether there is love varies from person to person." Fang Yan said sarcastically, "It depends on who you are facing. For some people, you will become ruthless even if you ask."

Uncle Yu Guo smiled, looked up and down at Shen Xinniang, his eyes became darker and he couldn't see clearly.

Fang Yan stretched out his hand to wrap Shen Xiniang's slender waist, and led her one step ahead, towards the Holy Palace.Uncle Yu Guo followed behind unhurriedly, his eyes were like snakes, cold and he followed closely.

The Holy Majesty sat on a high position in the inner hall of Yanqing Hall.

Fang Yan, Shen Xinniang and Yu Tai entered the hall one after another, and there were already several wealthy businessmen in the hall.

Seeing King Qi and Uncle Guo entering, the wealthy businessmen who arrived first got up one after another and bowed their hands in salute.

The master of the Qin family was also there, and after paying respects to King Qi and Yu Tai, he quietly approached Shen Xiniang, and greeted Shen Xiniang with the courtesy of a peer.

Shen Xinniang quickly returned the gift with a blessing, "Master of the Qin family!"

Yu Tai's eyes fell on Qin Qingshan, and there was quite a look of surprise in his eyes.Qin Qingshan is the patriarch of the Sanxian Qin family. The Sanxian Qin family has a great career, the so-called emperor of flowing water, and a family of iron.The emperor takes turns to sit, and the family has been established for a hundred years.

The clansmen of these aristocratic families are quite arrogant even when they see the dignitaries in the court.Qin Qingshan is so polite to a little lady, it is really hard not to make people suspicious.

Yu Tai narrowed his eyes slightly, and felt that his guess was more and more reasonable.

Shen Xiniang returned the gift to the master of the Qin family, but Qin Qingshan didn't bother anymore, and retreated to his seat in two steps.

The little emperor sat on a high throne, raised his hand to let everyone sit down, his immature eyes swept over everyone, paused on Shen Xiniang's face for a while, and then passed over.

"By taking advantage of the Longevity Festival, I invite all of you to come here. On behalf of the imperial court, I commend you and support the imperial court's move to develop Nanshi. In addition to the eastern and western cities, the prosperity of Nanshi will surely drive the lives of the people in Nanshi to improve day by day. ..." The little emperor said expressionlessly.

For example, the words memorized in advance are to encourage merchants to cooperate with the imperial court to promote the development and later construction of Nanshi, which is not only beneficial to their own business, but also to benefit the common people, which is the right way, and so on.

Merchants came to the palace to congratulate, and birthday gifts were naturally indispensable, and the imperial court was not instigated, and reduced or exempted part of the tax, and the merchants also stood up to express their thanks.

There is quite a sense of joy between the officials and the people.After the little emperor finished speaking the remarks he had prepared in advance, he gave everyone the qualification to have a banquet in the palace.

Palace people filed in one after another, leading many merchants to their seats.

The little emperor couldn't wait to see his eyes fall on Shen Xinniang, seeing that her dark eyes seemed to be looking at him, the little emperor was very happy, raised the corners of his mouth to her, and squeezed his eyes.

Afraid of being seen by others, he immediately restored his serious expression.

Shen Xinniang lowered her eyes, although there was no smile on her face, her eyes were very clear.

She came to her table with the servants, knelt down, Dan Xin was kneeling on one side, but saw that there were no chopsticks on the food table.

Surprised, Dan Xin looked around and saw that there were chopsticks on other food tables, "Ma'am, did they forget to put them?" Dan Xin asked in a low voice.

Shen Xinniang shook her head, "Don't worry, wait and see, I won't really forget."

Dan Xin didn't make a sound.

When the hors d'oeuvres were put on the food table, there was a court lady kneeling beside her, holding a pair of exquisite ivory chopsticks, she picked up the side dishes from the hors d'oeuvres and put them on a white jade plate in front of Shen Xinniang.Then she put the white ivory chopsticks in her hand in front of Shen Xiniang.
