Xiao Chong: The Abandoned Concubine Shocks the World

Chapter 17 Zhuangshan, she is gorgeous
The place where the Shen family enjoys plum blossoms is at the foot of Langshan Mountain. There are countless plum blossoms in the village, and the flowers bloom like clouds. It is a great scenic spot in Daming Mansion.

Before Yao Tong's carriage reached the place, he smelled the cold plum fragrance.

"How many plum blossoms does it take to have such a fragrance?" Yao Tong sighed.

She originally thought that plum appreciation was just a gimmick, with dozens of plum trees at most, but she didn't expect the Shen family to have such a large formation.

"In order to plant plum trees, the Shen family bought half of Langshan Mountain. There are all plum trees planted in it. It is said that there are tens of thousands of them. However, his old man treasures these plum trees and refuses to be seen easily. I'm afraid I'll break any tree. Only Miss Shen San can hold a banquet here because she is favored."

Jinxia was talking about the Shen family's anecdotes, and the Shen family was also talking about her.

"Jinchai, you go to the second gate and wait in person. As soon as Mrs. Yao arrives, send me a message to go quickly." Third Miss Shen, Shen Baozhen looked around anxiously, and at the same time was worried that the maid who greeted the guests would neglect Mrs. Yao , hurriedly asked his eldest maid, Jinchai, to meet her in person, after all, Jinchai had met Mrs. Yao.

"Sister, don't worry, it's still early, Mrs. Yao is probably still on the way, come, sit down and drink some water." The second young lady of the Shen family laughed and pushed Shen Baozhen, who was eager to see through, to sit on the chair.

Her sister-in-law is kind and kind, but she is a little anxious.

Because of this temper, I usually suffer a lot when I go out to socialize. That Mrs. Yao made friends with her sister-in-law just by chance.

"Second sister-in-law, don't laugh at me, I'm just a little worried." Shen Baozhen pursed her lips, she insisted on posting the post to Mrs. Yao, and it was rare for her family to have a speculative relationship with her, although they were a little disapproving at first, Finally agreed.

"What are you worried about? Sister, don't worry, the glory of our Shen family is achieved by the men in the family. Our confidence is valued by the prince and the son. It is the meritorious deeds of the men of the Shen family, not the pillows in the inner house." Wind." This is the third young lady of the Shen family who also came from a family of generals, with a sharp and sharp personality.

"Sister-in-law San is right. It's the kind of Sun family that doesn't know how to do it, and doesn't have a single man who can do it. They rely on their female relatives, and they are complacent and shameless." Shen Baozhen very much agreed with San In the case of sister-in-law, so what if the concubine and concubine of Prince Ji do not like Mrs. Yao?So what if he doesn't want to admit Mrs. Yao's identity?So what if no one in Daming Mansion invites Madam Yao?
The Shen family is not afraid.

"The fate of this famous mansion is ultimately up to the son of the prince. With the prince, the concubine and the concubine. To put it bluntly, the master of the world may not value it a lot. After all, the master of the world was sent to the capital when he was six or seven years old. It's called entering Taixue to live with the dragon's son and grandson, and they are actually hostages. It's strange to say that the vassal king sent his son to Beijing as a hostage. Most of them sent the second son or even the third son and the youngest son, and almost never sent the eldest son. Why, as the eldest son, was the eldest son sent to be a proton?" Mrs. Shen Sanshao and her husband have a very good relationship, and Third Master Shen told her about the experience of the deceased son in private, so he knew that he was sent to the capital when he was young. The experience of being a proton.

"Sister-in-law three, is this true? It seems that the rumor that Princess Ji favors the second son is true." Shen Baozhen asked excitedly as it was the first time he had heard such a secret.

"It's probably true. Calculating the time, when the son was young, it was the time when Emperor Jingfu was in power. He was a very suspicious and moody lord. The palace is the most powerful among the Northern feudal lords. If you think about it, you will know that those years must have been very difficult for the son. Otherwise, the son would not have gone to the military camp when he was more than ten years old. In the first battle of the river, he killed a thousand people with three hundred people. He became famous in the first battle and revealed his true identity. The prince was overjoyed and personally took people to the northern border to welcome the son back to the palace. In recent years, the army of the son has become more and more powerful. Ling Yin is above the prince, but with such a capable son, Princess Ji is getting more and more displeased."

The more the two talked, the less tabooed they were. Mrs. Shen Ershao stroked her forehead with a headache, and coughed loudly, "The guests are about to come to the door. You two masters are still here talking about something, so stop talking." Hurry up and go out to meet the guests, or people will say that our Shen family has neglected the guests."

"Second sister-in-law is the same as elder sister-in-law." Third Mrs. Shen curled her lips and muttered softly.

Shen's family had five sons and one daughter. The men and women were ranked according to the clan. They were the eldest young master, the second young master, the third young master, the fourth young master, the seventh young master, and the third young lady. Among them, the fourth young master and the third young lady were twins, and the seventh young master was the elder Laizi, he is only eight years old this year.The first young master and the second young master are much older than the younger siblings, and the third young master, the fourth young master, and the third young lady are only two years apart. Therefore, the third young lady Shen and the sister-in-law are close in age, and they are also very friendly to the prudent elder sister-in-law and second sister-in-law. He respected him a lot, and after hearing what the second sister-in-law said, he suppressed his gossip and went out with his sister-in-law hand in hand.

"Miss, Mrs. Yao is here."

As soon as Jinchai saw the seven-treasure and pearl-tasseled carriage with the emblem of Prince Ji's Mansion, she immediately sent a little girl to report the news.

The carriage on this side reaches the second gate, Yao Tong supported Qingshuang, and got off the carriage lightly, just after walking a few steps, a gust of wind blew up in front of her, "Mrs. Yao, you are here."

Sure enough, it was Miss Shen San who was in a hurry, Yao Tong smiled.

"Come on, let's go to the Nuan Pavilion."

Plum blossoms bloom in the cold winter. In order to take care of the female relatives to enjoy the plum blossoms, the Shen family specially built a warm pavilion with earth dragons burning underneath.

Although Yao Tong already knew that there was glass in this era, the mirror she used was a glass mirror that can tell people, but whether it was Prince Zheng's Mansion or He Zhenghan's other courtyard, there were no glass windows, and they were still pasted with Korean paper. .Now that she suddenly saw the glass windows of the Shen Family Nuange, even though they were not very smooth and clear, she still couldn't help but look at them a few more times, after all, they are kind.

She thought for a long time, and Shen Baozhen thought she was interested in this glass window, "This was bought by my fourth brother a while ago. My fourth brother doesn't like to lead troops to fight, but likes to walk around. Last year, he went to Lingnan Road. He went abroad with the Xie family's fleet and stayed at sea for a full year before returning. When he came back, he was skinny and tanned. My mother felt distressed and blamed him when she saw it. The Xie family in the south brought these glasses over and replaced them in this warm pavilion. The fourth brother is very filial, and he has given me a lot of money."

Her tone of voice was full of pride, and it seemed that she had a very good relationship with her fourth brother.

"However, these glasses are really expensive. They were exchanged for almost the same weight of silver. No wonder the Xie family is so rich." Shen Baozhen couldn't help but say a sour sentence.

Yao Tong thought of Xie Jiu in Cuili Garden, and couldn't help but be amused. The 'Jiao Na' that these noble girls spend a lot of money to imitate is also from the hands of Xie's children.

The two talked softly as they walked, and soon came to the front, Shen Baozhen led her into the seat, and talked with her for a while, and there were two or three maidservants standing behind them waiting to answer, Yao Tong let her go to work first.

This warm pavilion has a huge space, and the Shen family also thought carefully, each person has a case, and a screen was placed in front of the seat. But people can't see clearly what's going on inside the screen.

The ground dragon was burning hot, and all the female family members took off their cloaks, revealing the clothes inside, and they were all wearing 'Jiao Na' style dresses.

Yao Tong remembered that 'Jiao Na' wore a total of eight sets of clothes in the play, and the most gorgeous and delicate one was the fresh peach red dress she wore when she was revived.

And it was this set of clothes that the girls in the pavilion wore the most.

Jinxia untied her heavy cloak, and Yao Tong was wearing the same dress underneath.

It's not that no one cast curious eyes on the screen above, but due to the face of the Shen family, no one asked to take down the screen, and only gave pointers in twos and threes.

Yao Tong didn't care.

"Jiao Na is here!" Suddenly she shouted, attracting the attention of all the girls in the pavilion.

Yao Tong looked at a group of noble girls, still dignified, reserved and noble, but the little eyes staring straight at the door revealed their expectations, and they were not as calm as they were.

It seems that regardless of ancient and modern times, people's emotions are generally similar, the difference is that people in this era are divided into classes, actors have low status, and these noble girls will not chase after them regardless of their status.

However, Yao Tong didn't want that kind of fanaticism, as long as they were curious, that was enough.

"Madam, look."

Jinxia kept staring outside, even though she knew that her wife had written the play, and watched Jiaona's rehearsal all the way, but she still became Jiaona's crowd. Both happy and nervous for her.

She was not relieved until this moment.

I saw first groups of girls in green clothes and white skirts, carrying trays full of plum branches, floating in lightly with dancing steps, one by one, placing trays on the desks of the noble ladies.

The quiet plum fragrance filled the warm pavilion, and the beautiful flute sounded.

A cold woman in the same green dress and white dress, dragging long sleeves, danced gracefully like a gentle step on the waves. As soon as she appeared on the stage, everyone knew that she was 'Jiaona.' '

Not every noble lady is willing to praise 'Jiao Na', some people just can't understand her.

But she appeared in this way, and danced to the sound of the flute, even if she looked down on a humble actress but a noble girl who was sought after by thousands of people, she couldn't make trouble on the spot.

Unless she dared to disregard her own reputation.

"Moss branches are embellished with jade, there are green birds and small birds, and they live together on the branches. We meet in the guest, and at dusk at the corner of the fence, we lean on the bamboo without words." The woman in green dress and white skirt, as beautiful as a green calyx, sings with her lips and her voice is clean Cool and cold, it just rhymes with the words of this song about plums.

"This is "Sparse Shadows" by Taoist Baishi." Yao Tong heard a noble girl exclaim.

"When I wait for you, I will find the fragrance again, and it has entered the banner of the small window." After singing the last sentence, the dance steps also stopped, "Thank you, Miss Shen San for your invitation, and Jiaona presents a song "Sparse Shadows" to cheer for the plum feast .”

After the ceremony, he stepped back gracefully.

Yao Tong breathed a sigh of relief until he couldn't see the white dress. Xie Jiu was indeed Xie Jiu. In this way, 'Jiao Na' appeared off the stage, and her image was considered a success.

"She left?"

"Sure enough, it's Jiaona, that woman who would rather lose her memory completely than have that broken relationship again. That's how it should be."

"Yes, yes, it's better to have broken pieces of jade than to have everything broken!"

"The dramas on weekdays are all about the prodigal son turning back for money, and staying in the cold kiln for eighteen years. You can't even watch a drama happily! Jiaona is still more beautiful!"

Yao Tong listened with a slight smile, these noble ladies and young women must have been suppressed for a long time before they pursued Jiaona so much.In reality, they need to be virtuous and sensible, and gradually eliminate their yearning for love, but the more they are suppressed, the more they yearn for it. They come from noble backgrounds, and the marriage of the two families does not allow them to do anything wrong, so they can only be deeply depressed.

Until the birth of 'Jiao Na', the same high family background gave them a natural sense of substitution, and even half of their appearance was damaged by a birthmark, which made them feel close. After all, no matter how beautiful the face is, there is an invincible enemy—— time.

In reality, they want to be noble and dignified ladies and ladies, and all the lingering affection, happy love and hatred can only be realized through Jiaona's fantasy.

Seeing what he wanted to see, Yao Tong was about to leave, and asked Zidian and Jinxia to invite Shen Baozhen, only Qingshuang was by his side.

"See Princess Yongfu."

Suddenly there was a commotion in the Nuan Pavilion, and two women in beautiful clothes came in one behind the other.

"It's really lively here. Shen Baozhen, you hold a plum feast, but you don't post a post to the princess, what do you mean?"

This voice was very familiar, and Yao Tong took a closer look, and found that it was the sister of He Zhenghan's compatriot, and next to her was Second Miss Sun.

The Princess of the Prince Ji's Mansion came to the door in person, and the female family members of the Shen family looked at each other with wry smiles, went up to them and repeatedly confessed their crimes.

"Who is sitting at the top?" Sun Qionghua's eyebrows twitched, "This famous mansion is the largest in your Shen family besides Ji Wang's mansion. I'm curious that the Shen family didn't sit at the top of the plum appreciation banquet organized by the third lady of your family. Who else is qualified to sit there?"

Her words immediately made He Fuyuan frown.

"The princess wants to take a look."

Yao Tong took a deep look at Second Miss Sun, and said softly to Qingshuang, "Turn down the screen."

He Fuyuan took the lead, followed by Sun Qionghua, the other noble ladies fell behind, and a group of people rushed to the front of the screen.

Without waiting for the people brought by He Fuyuan to do anything, the screen fell to the ground with a bang, everyone was suffocated when they saw the woman sitting behind the screen.

The same dress, the same makeup, they were reduced to a foil in an instant, and she was gorgeous!

He Fuyuan was also taken aback, looked at her, and couldn't help but look back at Sun Qionghua. Coincidentally, Sun Qionghua was wearing the same dress today. She hadn't seen any Jiaona before, but she thought this dress was unique and rare. Sun Qionghua was wearing red, and when he saw it suddenly, his eyes lit up, and he praised him a lot.

But now, she felt that she had made a mistake.

Sun Qionghua immediately guessed what she was thinking, her cheeks were flushed, she bit her red lips tightly, wishing she could take off the same clothes right away!

Looking at the vixen who stood up gracefully, she felt that she was showing off her strength and laughing at herself.

Fire-breathing eyes, full of jealousy.
