Becoming a Demon [Comprehensive]

In the living room, Master Shen sat down and said, "Nephew, I'm sorry to neglect you."

On the opposite side of him, a man wearing a green shirt and a scarf on his head arched his hands and replied: "It's nothing, if uncle has something to do, it doesn't matter if you deal with it first."

Master Shen waved his hand, "It's nothing, it's just a small matter at home."

The man held up the teacup to cover up the smile on his lips. There is no daughter who doesn't care about his marriage. The Shen family's wife must have been looking for Master Shen to leave just now.It doesn't matter if you ask, he is confident that with his talent and bearing, he will not be able to win the next little lady raised in the boudoir.

"Nephew, you said that you had studied in Guangning Academy, but which one did you read?"

"My uncle can just call my nephew Maochun. I am ashamed that my nephew only finished "The Analects", "Mencius" and half a step of "Great Learning" in college. The Five Classics is "The Book of Songs", and I have never dabbled in other things." Zhang Maochun Half covered his face, half ashamed.

However, Master Shen seemed very satisfied. He had read the book so that he could have something to talk to his daughter about.Then he said with a serious face: "Nephew, you must understand now that if you enter my family, you will have no chance to gain fame in the future."

The son of a merchant still has the chance to gain fame and fame, but becoming a son-in-law is regarded as half-slave status, and his future is cut off.

Zhang Maochun said with a wry smile: "Uncle, my father has passed away, and all the properties in the family are controlled by my aunt. She said that Gaotang doesn't divide the property, and I can only live. Not to mention getting fame, even the opportunity to study is cut off. I I came to my uncle's house for no other reason than to hear that my uncle's house has the largest collection of books in Yangzhou, and I just hope that my uncle will allow me to read it to my heart's content."

Master Shen showed a kind smile on his fat face, "In this case, let's make a deal first. You will stay in the mansion first and meet my daughter. If you can impress my daughter, you will naturally become my son-in-law."

Zhang Maochun said happily, "Yes, uncle."

Outside the living room, under a window leading to the long corridor, a little girl with two buns was hiding under the window and secretly listening to the conversation inside. Seeing that the conversation inside was over, she quickly tiptoed away from under the window.

In an exquisite attic in the Shen family's back house, Shen Hanqing was eating lunch. It was obviously delicious, but somehow she always felt that it was too bland.

In her memory, she prefers food with a stronger taste. It is strange, how does her newly born little elf know that she prefers food with a stronger taste?

Qing He took chopsticks to help her remove the fishbone, and Shen Hanqing imitated Mrs. Shen in his memory, and ate vegetables with his hands in a strange way.

I don't know if she is talented or what, but after only a few touches, she has become familiar with how to use chopsticks. Shen Hanqing sighed that she might be the fastest monster to adapt to life in the world.

Qinghe helped Shen Hanqing pick out the thorns from a piece of fish, and then put the fish into the lady's bowl. At this moment, someone lifted the bead curtain, and she looked up and saw a little girl beckoning to her.

Qing He put a bowl of vegetable tofu soup in front of his wife, and whispered: "My lady, I'll go out first."

Shen Hanqing waved his hand and hurried away, she couldn't even eat properly with her around.

Qing He opened the bead curtain and asked the little girl what was the matter.

The little girl replied, "Sister Hongliu said outside the door that she wanted to see the lady."

Qinghe had explained before that he is not allowed to let Hongliu directly into the maiden's room in the future, and must tighten her temper.

Nodding his head, Qing He said he understood, then put down the bead curtain and walked back to Shen Hanqing's side, and said softly, "Lady, Hong Liu is waiting outside the door, she should have found out the news."

Shen Hanqing originally wanted to summon her directly, but then she rolled her eyes and recalled how Mrs. Shen handled it in the past, and said: "It's hard work for her, let her go to the kitchen to eat first, and then report back after eating."

Qing He said yes, then went out and ordered the little girl to convey to Hong Liu.

Shen Hanqing had some headaches. He had Qing He who knew Mrs. Shen deeply by his side, and he had to be careful not to reveal his temperament that was too different from Mrs. Shen. It's really tasteless.

No, I have to find a way to keep Qing He busy, so that I can't take care of her changes.

Hongliu was brought in by Qinghe, Shen Hanqing was gargling with tea, maybe she was frightened by what happened in the morning, the little girl was not as lively as before when she entered the room.

"My lady." Hongliu saluted Shen Hanqing upright.

Shen Hanqing was surprised, "I'm really not used to Hongliu not chattering."

"Lady~" Hongliu heard the lady's joke, stomped her feet a little disobediently and said: "Lady, I have sworn to Sister Qinghe that I will never act recklessly again."

Shen Hanqing raised her eyebrows, "Oh, that depends on what you do in the future, it's useless to just talk."

Hongliu said firmly: "Don't worry, Miss, I will impress you!"

After Shen Hanqing teased the little girl, she didn't bring up the topic anymore, so she asked her, "What did you hear when you went to the front yard?"

Hong Liu said everything she heard, Shen Hanqing was not at all surprised when she heard that Master Shen had left the one surnamed Zhang.

Although Master Shen listened to his daughter, he still liked to make his own decisions in his bones, and the things he decided were not so easy to change.

Shen Hanqing didn't expect Master Shen to veto that person all at once, so he could only arouse Master Shen's doubts about the other party little by little.

A few days later, Shen Hanqing suddenly found that the other party hadn't moved. She was a little surprised, and then realized that this is fine, as it is challenging to meet an opponent.

It was a cloudy day, and after several days of heat had dissipated, Shen Hanqing took a group of girls to familiarize themselves with various gardens in the house in the name of playing, so as not to get lost because the house was too big.

It is said that Suzhou's gardens are famous all over the world, but Yangzhou's gardens are not bad.Especially the Shen family, who is the richest man in Yangzhou, is so rich.Although the garden of Shen's residence is not as big as those famous gardens in Suzhou, the garden of Shen's family is not small, it covers an area of ​​ten mu, and there are more than a hundred men and women serving the garden.

Shen Hanqing loves flowers, especially crabapple flowers, so there is a crabapple garden at home, which is dedicated to crabapple flowers collected by Mr. Shen from all over the country.Shen Hanqing was originally a crabapple flower growing on a remote hill, but because the Shen residence sent servants from all over the country to buy crabapple flowers, she was brought down from the mountain and sent to the Shen residence all the way.

Shen Hanqing was just a mortal flower before she entered the Shen residence, but she didn't know whether the Shen residence was full of aura or for other reasons, under the careful care of Mrs. Shen, one day she suddenly became enlightened.

Therefore, she has a cause and effect with Mrs. Shen, and if she cannot fulfill her wish, her skills will not be able to advance.

Shen Hanqing pointed to the stone table beside her, and said to the maid behind her, "Just here, rest here for a while now."

"Yes." The maids responded, and quickly took action, clearing the table, spreading insect repellent powder and so on.

After Shen Hanqing sat down, Qing He took the food box from the little girl, put it on the stone table, opened the lid of the food box, white steam came out of the exit immediately.

Sensing a hint of coolness, Shen Hanqing knew that there were ice cubes in the food box. She watched curiously as Qinghe brought out a white jade-shaped pot from it, and she could vaguely see half of the pot of liquid in the translucent jade pot.

Qing He took the same white jade tea bowl from the little girl again, deep red and transparent sour plum soup was poured out from the mouth of the white jade, the red water and white jade bowl set off really nicely.

Shen Hanqing took the tea bowl, she couldn't bear to drink what she liked, but in the end she couldn't hold back, took a sip of the sweet and sour plum soup, a gust of cold air flowed down her throat to her stomach, and the heat immediately disappeared.

She sighed, it's no wonder that the wealthy Shen family even covets outsiders, the little lady in the family needs a pot and tea bowl made of white jade to accompany her sour plum soup.

Shen Hanqing thought that he could continue to relax, but before he finished his bowl of sour plum soup, he saw someone approaching from a distance.

Shen Hanqing glanced at Qing He, Qing He hurriedly bowed his knees and pleaded guilty, "Lady, I did send someone to clear the garden."

The garden of Shen's residence is not small, so there are not only maids but also many male servants.In order to avoid bumping into the owner, many times the owner will send someone to clear the garden before visiting.

Shen Hanqing didn't pursue this matter any further because she had already seen the person coming.

"I'm sorry to offend Mrs. Shen, but I'm being polite to Zhang Maochun." The visitor, dressed in green, saluted Shen Hanqing from a distance of ten meters.

Shen Hanqing took a look at him, this man was handsome, although he was a son of a merchant, but he had the air of a Confucian scholar, no wonder Master Shen valued him.

Both have come to this kind of field, and both of them have a certain understanding of each other's identity.If it was the original Mrs. Shen, she would definitely avoid it shyly and timidly, but now the shell is filled with a demon, and the demon is the most straightforward. How could she be so particular about it, so Shen Hanqing stared at people with great interest.

"Miss!" Qing He, who was at the side, saw his wife staring at a man in broad daylight, and hurriedly pushed her.

Shen Hanqing curled her lips, and withdrew her eyes boredly.

Qinghe took a step forward and knelt towards Zhang Maochun and said: "My lord, my wife is here first, so I ask you to back down."

Ever since Zhang Maochun stopped walking, he was very gentlemanly and never looked this way. He blushed when he heard the other party chase him away, and hurriedly defended, "I'm really sorry, I have to let this sister know that Xiaosheng didn't mean to offend. Before I have an appointment with the master of the Shen family, and on the way down, I coveted the beauty in the garden, got separated from the servant who led the way, and broke in here by accident, and I didn't expect to disturb a few sisters."

Just at this time, a servant ran over and shouted to Zhang Maochun: "Master Zhang, why did you come here, Mr. Zhang, the master is still waiting for you!"

After the servant complained, he saw other people in the garden. When he saw Shen Hanqing surrounded by the maids, his frightened face changed, "Lady..." He panicked and knelt down, "The villain Zhao San is bothering you!" Miss."

Shen Hanqing asked with interest: "Why did my father invite this son over?"

Zhang Maochun curled his mouth, different from the shame and anger on his face, his eyes were full of eagerness to try.Originally thought that the Shen family's wife was a stupid woman who was raised in a deep boudoir and only knew about love, but she didn't expect her temperament to be quite different from the rumors from the outside world.Flowers with thorns are his favorite.

"This..." The family member hesitated, although the reason why Mr. Zhang came to the mansion is well known, but if it is not settled, it cannot be announced to the outside world.Mr. Zhang is now temporarily staying in the Shen residence in the name of a distant relative of the Shen residence.

Shen Hanqing put away her smile and asked coldly, "Why, there are still things in the mansion that I don't know about?"

The servant hurriedly shook his head, "No, I don't know if it's a villain, but the master just said to invite Mr. Zhang to come over."

Shen Hanqing asked again, "Is anyone visiting the house today?"

The servant wiped the sweat from his forehead, and replied: "Yes... the magistrate is here to visit, and the master invites Mr. Zhang to come over."

Shen Hanqing said calmly: "Since this is the case, please hurry up, Mr. Zhang, and don't make my father and the magistrate wait for a long time."

The servant nodded hurriedly, and stretched out his hand to Zhang Maochun, "Mr. Zhang, please."

Zhang Maochun swept Shen Hanqing's face indiscriminately, then bowed his hands and left, acting like a gentleman.

After the people left, Qing He sighed: "Lady, Mr. Zhang is really polite." I don't know what the lady thinks, even such an excellent man looks down on him.

Shen Hanqing smiled and said: "It looks like beautiful jade on the outside, but I don't know what it looks like on the inside, that's all, let's tidy up the things here."

Qing He hurriedly asked, "Lady, where are you going next?"

Shen Hanqing raised her chin and acted like a frivolous prodigal son, "Of course I'm going to Daddy's place. The magistrate is going to visit the mansion. How can I, the only master of Shen's mansion, not pay a visit!"
