The noble boy likes to play chess

Since the last time he was assassinated, Shu Jing couldn't leave the house. Recently, even Jueqing and Cheng Jingzhi didn't show up. It's really boring. Two days ago, I even picked up a few idle books to read. These few days, I'm very sleepy. It was dawn in the morning, Shu Jing hadn't woken up yet, and he just had a meal, yet he was sleepy again!Although there was talk of spring sleepiness, the green shoots on the tree just nodded, which could barely be regarded as the beginning of spring. The old lady Cheng saw her, but she was more relieved. It's much better to mess around like that.

On this day, Shu Jing woke up very late in the morning and forced himself not to sleep in the afternoon, but in the end he couldn't resist the drowsiness and fell asleep on the soft couch. When he woke up, it was already night.An Hao complained over and over again that it was becoming more and more difficult for the young master to wake up recently, and Shu Jing had become accustomed to running to heat up the meals, but the butler Lu had been standing at the door, hesitating to speak, which made Shu Jing a little puzzled.

The affairs of Prince Yu's mansion have always been decided by Prince Yu. When he is away, Qiao Qingcang or Xue Haitao will be there. If there is anything to do, he will go to them. Therefore, Steward Lu usually does not come to Shu Jing's place.

"What's the matter?" Seeing Steward Lu's perplexed look, Shu Jing took the initiative to ask.

"My son, at noon today, Mr. Shen Laoshangshu brought his eldest granddaughter to visit Prince Yu, but Prince Yu has not been in the mansion for a few days, and today there is not even anyone who can pass on the message. Old slave I told Old Shangshu Shen, but Old Shangshu Shen insisted on waiting here. He is still waiting in the living room and refuses to go back. This old slave doesn’t know what to do. Earlier, the prince once said that if he is not here, the affairs of the manor, big or small It's up to you to make the decision, so, this matter, Old Nut, come to ask your son for instructions." Although Steward Lu hesitated, he still told Shu Jing about the situation.

When did Prince Yu say that?Don't say that Shu Jing lost his memory, if he didn't, he didn't know there was such a thing, butler Lu has always been loyal and would not lie about these things.But Shu Jing had no idea about this matter at all, so he could only ask first: "Do you know what they are here for?"

"The old slave asked. Shen Laoshangshu wants to wait for Lord Yu to come back, and tell him personally that he doesn't want others to convey it."

"Then, do you know what kind of special friendship Prince Yu has with Old Shangshu Shen?" Shu Jing had a vague impression that Old Shangshu Shen was a veteran of the imperial court. He retired a few years ago, and now he brought his granddaughter here. dear?But this means that a matchmaker should also be invited for relatives, how can they bring people over directly?

Steward Lu lowered his head, shook his hands nervously a few times, and said: "Shangshu Shen and our lord are involved in an old matter. Regarding that matter, the emperor once ordered no one to mention it again. This old servant dare not disobey it." .”

Hearing this, Shu Jing really wanted to say that he was just a guest of Prince Yu's Mansion, and it was inconvenient for him to interfere with the affairs of Prince Yu's Mansion. If there is a little trouble, of course he wants to help, but as a guest, it is really inconvenient to show up, so he taught Steward Lu a set of excuses, and he only peeked at the situation from behind the screen.

Old Shangshu Shen did a good job in the living room. He used the tea on the table, but the cakes were not touched. The same is true for Miss Shen. The strange thing is that the maidservant behind Miss Shen has red eyes, and there is a big one at her feet. I don't know what it contains.

Steward Lu stepped forward, and first said that there were often assassinations in Shengjing recently, and he also talked about the assassination of Prince Yu's Mansion a few days ago, explaining that it was not safe to go back at night, and it might not be safe to stay in Prince Yu's Mansion. As for the next guests, if the two of you don't dislike them, let the guards escort you back after having a light meal in Prince Yu's Mansion.

Old Shangshu Shen shook his head, and said: "As far as I know, Lord Yu has no other place to live, and he must come back at night. Besides, even if Lord Yu doesn't come back, isn't Miss Jing not here? I'm here today. Just wait here!"

Steward Lu was stunned for a moment, with a cold sweat in his heart: Where is such a girl? At first, Prince Yu was able to coax Mr. Shu to wear a woman's dress, just to make the concubine Li happy. Mr. Shu has lost his memory now. Where can I find a girl?Good words and persuasion are not enough, but Steward Lu can only follow Mr. Shu's second plan: "Mr. Shen, you are old and have retired for a long time. You must not know the current situation clearly. Today is a place of right and wrong, I hope you will leave as soon as possible for the sake of your family's stable life."

It seemed to be an admonition, but also a warning. These words were not something a housekeeper could say. Old Shangshu Shen concluded that there was someone behind him pointing him out. Maybe it was Prince Yu, or if not, he was also half the master of Prince Yu's mansion.Old Shen Shangshu thought for a while, and said: "Today, I will go back for now, and come back tomorrow, but my granddaughter stays behind."

Regarding the current actions of Shen Laoshangshu, Lu Steward knew it well, but Shu Jing was very confused.Only then did Shu Jing take a closer look at the Miss Shen's family. She was a young woman of less than [-] years old, with a delicate appearance and a dignified manner. Shouldn't such a woman stay at home to marry?What did you send to Prince Yu's Mansion, in such a chaotic period?

To be married? !Shu Jing suddenly thought of it, but he just didn't understand, since it is the old Shangshu, the Shen family is not far behind, so why did they have to send their granddaughter to Prince Yu's mansion?The package at the servant girl's feet is probably luggage, it seems that they planned this early in the morning.Shu Jing knew that Prince Yu had no intention of marrying a wife and concubine, this person must not stay, otherwise, Prince Yu would definitely be angry when he came back.

"Even if it's just a girl from an innocent family, you can't stay outside at will, let alone a beautiful lady like Miss Shen, please don't make fun of your granddaughter's happiness, Mrs. Shen. Moreover, even if you want to enter Prince Yu's mansion, you should be upright If you want to stay in like this, there may not be good results." Shu Jing cleared his throat and said in a female voice.Since this Old Master Shen has confirmed that Lord Yu has Miss Jing, let 'Miss Jing' come forward to block him back.

Hearing Shu Jing's words, Old Shangshu Shen was a little angry, but he restrained himself from losing his temper.

Steward Lu didn't expect Shu Jing to speak out, and knew that it was inconvenient for him to come out now, so he explained to Old Shangshu Shen for him: "Master Shen, Miss Jing was seriously ill a few days ago, she hasn't recovered yet, she is shameful, please forgive me, Master Shen."

"Ms. Jing can stay, why can't my granddaughter stay? Could it be that Miss Jing is not even a girl from an innocent family?" Old Shangshu Shen replied seemingly 'politely'.

Shu Jing chuckled a few times, and said: "Girls in the Jianghu don't stick to trifles. Besides, I got the permission of Prince Yu to stay in Prince Yu's mansion. What is your granddaughter? If you stay as a maid, I can make the decision. The kitchen There is still a shortage of manpower.”

Hearing this, Miss Shen suddenly stood up, summoned up her courage and said, "Grandpa, let's go back, I don't want to stay in Prince Yu's Mansion for no reason like this."

After only hearing a few words, Old Shangshu Shen felt that Miss Jing was not easy to get along with. If she didn't get Lord Yu's consent, Shen Yin would only be wronged in vain if she stayed.

Shu Jing's words were blunt, and when they were leaving, they still ordered the guards to take them over.
