Becoming a Demon [Comprehensive]
Chapter 39 Begonia Chunyan
As soon as Shen Luo's feet landed, he was sent to the Humble Administrator's Garden in the northeast corner of the city.
The Humble Administrator's Garden was established by the previous dynasty, changed hands several times, and expanded over a hundred years. It is already the largest garden in the south of the Yangtze River. Even the Shen family's garden is nothing compared to the Humble Administrator's Garden.
Today's Humble Administrator's Garden is the residence of Xingyuan, the governor of Jiangsu Province, and his family. This time the emperor visited, the garden was specially vacated as the emperor's temporary residence.
Shen Luo took a rest after dinner, and the emperor still had something to do, so he didn't call her over. Fortunately, a drop of blood was sent.
After Shen Luo finished feeding the Golden Cicada Gu, she asked Qing He to go down to rest too, and then she sat in the dormitory and observed the dagger.
This is an unusual dagger. It looks like it has a certain age. Of course, if it didn't have a certain history, it would not be cultivated into an evil weapon.
However, there was no mark on the dagger, so Shen Luo couldn't recognize the origin of this dagger. The material was not iron or steel, and it was more like the meteorite iron recorded in the book.Shen Luo thought for a while and thought about which of the magical weapons made of meteoric iron from outside the sky would go along with this dagger.
But after all, she didn't know much about Shenbing, so she didn't see why.
This dagger has already given birth to a spirit, and the opponent polluted the spirit of the weapon with evil spirits, and then absorbed the resentment, which turned this sharp weapon into an evil weapon, which looked extremely dangerous.
Shen Luo didn't want to hurt the spirit of the weapon. Like this kind of magic weapon with spirituality, the spirit has already been integrated with the weapon. If the spirit is abolished, the weapon will become a piece of scrap iron.
So Shen Luo intends to collect it into the inner mansion and use spiritual power to nourish it, and slowly pull out the evil energy in the sharp weapon, but this has a certain degree of danger. Whatever happened to her, but there would still be some troubles then.
In the end to do or not to do?Shen Luo decided to do it anyway, after all, after she succeeds, she can have her own magic weapon, which is much more advanced than Shanxing's gourd and Changfeng's golden tortoise.
In the future, she won't have to watch others show off her magic weapon in front of her.
Thinking of doing it, Shen Luo first used the five thunderbolts/talismans to induce a trace of lightning to eliminate more than half of the evil energy on the dagger.Both the weapon spirit and the evil weapon were greatly damaged at this time, Shen Luo then carefully penetrated the divine sense into the dagger, and found the place where the weapon spirit was, and then she found an imprint in the dagger, if there was nothing to do with it outside contact.
She was not surprised, she knew that this was the imprint of the owner of the dagger, if it was close, she could rely on the imprint to recall the dagger.
And probably the owner of the dagger didn't expect that the dagger was no longer on Jiang Longling's body, but fell into her hands instead, otherwise he would have taken it back long ago.
Seeing this imprint, Shen Luo's consciousness immediately rushed over, and roughly erased it, the imprint quickly melted like snowflakes under the scorching sun, and the dagger became an unowned thing again, and then Shen Luo wiped away his consciousness After burning it on, I felt satisfied with the connection between myself and the dagger, as if I could move my fingers freely.
In a ruined temple outside the city of Suzhou, a man in white suddenly spat out a mouthful of blood while covering his chest, and said angrily, "Damn it, who dared to take away my magic weapon?" His tone of voice was a little weird, It seems that he is not very proficient in speaking the Central Plains dialect.
Before the emperor crossed the Yangtze River safely, he knew that there was an expert around the emperor, and he originally planned to follow behind to find an opportunity to strike, but he didn't expect to be cut off from the magic weapon directly.
Suzhou couldn't stay any longer. The fact that that person could easily erase his connection with the magic weapon meant that his cultivation level was higher than his. Now that he was injured, he was absolutely unable to deal with it. The man packed up his things and immediately left the ruined temple and disappeared into the night.
However, the emperor always wanted to return to the capital, and when he set up a net in the capital, he would always be able to find out who that person was!
Shen Luo didn't know that she frightened the people behind her back for a short time, nor did she know that the capital had set up a net to wait for her. After she subdued the dagger, she realized that she had thought too much just now. Although the dagger was an evil weapon, it was a weapon inside. Ling has always insisted on that bit of spirituality, and now with Shen Luo's help, sooner or later the remaining evil will be wiped out.
"I'll call you, let's kill it, to commemorate that you once killed the dragon spirit."
The dagger made a crisp golden sound as a response, Shen Luo bent his eyes, and then pinched a spell to chop off and put it in his dantian.
On the second day, after Shen Luo got up, he heard Qing He's report, "Lady, the governor's wife of Jiangsu and the family members of the local officials came to pay their respects."
"Hi? Please what?" Shen Luo was letting the maid behind her comb her hair, and it was very strange to hear Qing He's words.
"Miss, your status is different now, it is only natural for these officials' families to greet you." Qing He knew that Shen Luo didn't understand these things, so he patiently explained.
Shen Luo snorted, refusing the maid to wear a wig on her head, and only allowed two silver hairpins to be pinned, and then said indifferently: "See you!"
Qing He suggested: "The servants have to treat them well, and then go to see the lady after breakfast." This is the first time the lady appears in front of the public, so naturally she should be treated well.
Shen Luo nodded in agreement.
After breakfast, Shen Luo took Qing He and the maid to the living room. As soon as she entered, she saw the seven or eight people who had been sitting there got up and greeted.
Shen Luo turned half of his body, called out to get up, and then went to the front and sat down.
"Everyone, please sit down." Shen Luo said with a smile.
In fact, with her status, she can't accept the gifts of these people. After all, although she is the emperor's woman in name, she is not considered to be of high rank if she has not been formally conferred, and naturally she will not be on an equal footing with these royal wives.
But then again, she is the emperor's woman after all, and there is a difference between monarchs and ministers. These people still have to salute her because of emotion and reason, so Shen Luo only accepted half of the salute.
Only then did everyone raise their heads and glance at Shen Luo secretly, and then they were all surprised. In their opinion, this woman who was able to bring the emperor back to the palace by virtue of her identity as a business woman should be enchanting, otherwise, how could she be so fascinated by the emperor? Misunderstood.
But the one in front of me, although she looks extraordinary, is also too young, with a childish look on her face. Could it be that the emperor likes young girls now?People with daughters who are around the same age in their families began to think in their hearts, if they look like Mrs. Shen, wouldn't their own daughters also have a chance?
And the few young girls who came with their elders were also full of splendor.
"I don't know why everyone wants to see me?" Shen Luo sat on the seat, straightened her waist and asked.
One of the ladies who looked the most noble got up and said: "Nothing else, just heard that the lady is coming to Suzhou for the first time, so I came here to pay a visit."
Shen Luo glanced at Qing He, Qing He immediately walked to her side and introduced in a low voice: "This is the wife of the governor of Jiangsu, Mrs. Li."
"Mrs. Li, please sit down. I don't have so many rules here, just treat it as a friend and chat casually." Shen Luo stretched out his hand and gestured, then smiled and continued: "Suzhou is also famous all over the world. When I was in Yangzhou However, I often hear people say that Suzhou has beautiful scenery, unique in the world, and I have always admired it. Unfortunately, I have never been able to see it. This time, I have the honor to come to Suzhou with your majesty. Tell me about the beautiful scenery in Suzhou?"
Mrs. Li's sitting posture is very standard, and she replied in a harmonious voice: "Huqiu Mountain, Hanshan Temple, Jinji Lake, these places are very good, but the most recommended by my concubine is the Humble Administrator's Garden. The scenery of the Humble Administrator's Garden is unique in Suzhou , if the lady is willing to watch, I am willing to lead the way for you."
Shen Luo declined with a smile, Mrs. Li was not depressed, instead she started to talk about other topics, and then the atmosphere in the hall became lively because Mrs. Li had both sides, and Shen Luo sipped tea and listened with a smile.
This kind of entertainment is very boring, but Shen Luo keenly sensed something strange from the anecdotes about Hanshan Temple casually shared by a few people, she secretly remembered it, and planned to visit it when she was free.
"...Miss Shen, I don't know if this skirt on you is a popular style in Yangzhou?" The young lady who was following Mrs. Li asked Shen Luo in a low voice.
Shen Luo wore a gauze skirt with small sleeves today, which was quite different from other complicated and cumbersome skirts with wide sleeves. It looked young and beautiful.
After all, she is a little girl, so she pays more attention to the style of makeup and clothes.
Shen Luoxun looked over, and saw that the girl looked at her clothes with curiosity.
"No, it's a popular style in Beijing this year, and it hasn't spread to the south of the Yangtze River yet. It was made by the maid beside me under the guidance of the palace maid."
The girl was immediately envious, and Shen Luo noticed that Mrs. Li's face was a little stiff, but she quickly covered it up.
Seeing that Shen Luo was so friendly, soon the few girls in the hall also asked about Shen Luo, about her makeup, hairstyle and so on.
Shen Luo answered at the beginning, but later these girls asked more and more, many of them were difficult for Shen Luo to deal with, and then pushed these topics to Qing He.
The wives present also found that Shen Luo didn't like these topics, but the girls were pampered at home and couldn't interrupt rashly, so they quickly found excuses and led their daughters and nieces to leave.
After the people left, Shen Luo's originally straight back suddenly relaxed, and she smiled wryly, "What are these people doing here?" She said they were here to visit her, but she didn't look like it at all, more like a rare sight. thing.
Qing He didn't know why, after all, she was inexperienced, so she let Shen Luo listen to her guess, "My servant guessed, probably because I want to make friends with you, my lady."
Shen Luo rubbed his throbbing head, waved his hands, "You will refuse if you come again next time, I don't want to receive these people anymore."
Qing He bowed his body and said yes.
However, at night, Shen Luo knew exactly what these people were here for.
At that time, Shen Luo was copying the medicinal materials with a pen, when she saw Qing He walked in aggressively, "Lady, do you know what the servant saw?" She complained to Shen Luo.
Shen Luo didn't even look at her, he kept writing, and asked casually, "What did you see?"
Qing He waved his hand angrily, and complained to Shen Luo, "The little lady of the governor's family is so shameless that she actually stopped His Majesty in the garden. The most important thing is that she is still wearing the same clothes as today's lady, and combed the same clothes. Hair in a bun." If she hadn't happened to pass by and saw the emperor stop to talk to someone, she wouldn't have noticed that someone was stepping on her own wife to take the throne.
"It's so nasty!"
Shen Luo held up the pen, with a look of sudden realization, "So that's the case, no wonder these people are always concerned about my makeup and clothes today."
However, she comforted Qing He, "Don't worry, Your Majesty won't take a liking to the governor's wife." It's not the same thing between her and the emperor, so even imitating her makeup will have no effect.
Qing He was still angry and said: "Then the lady just forget about it?"
Shen Luo put down the pen, picked up the medicine prescription and dried the ink on it, then handed it to her and said, "Okay, this is just a trivial matter, don't worry about it, you follow this prescription to buy medicine, remember to bring a guard with you when you go out. "
Seeing that Shen Luo didn't take that matter to heart at all, Qing He could only secretly worry, and then took Fang Zi, still thinking in his heart, how about talking to He Xu.
If the master doesn't care about it, then these servants can't ignore it.
"What prescription?" The emperor came in from the outside and asked.
Shen Luo and Qing He saluted together.
The emperor took the prescription from Qing He's hand and took a look.
Shen Luo replied: "These are medicinal materials that contain trace amounts of toxins, suitable for the Golden Cicada Gu to use now."
When the emperor heard this, he handed the prescription to He Xu, "I will find He Xu for medicinal materials in the future, and the imperial physician will not lack any medicinal materials."
Shen Luo also felt a little stupid, the emperor even brought a toilet when traveling, let alone medicinal materials.
She patted her forehead and suddenly said: "Didn't you forget?"
Then the emperor walked up to her, and Qing He wanted to follow, but was dragged out by He Xu with disgust.
"What have you been up to today?" The emperor stood by the table where Shen Luo had written the prescription before, and casually flipped through the basic medical books placed beside the table, all of which recorded the properties of various medicinal materials in detail.
"I didn't do anything. In the morning, Mrs. Li brought someone over to visit, and in the afternoon I kept looking through medical books."
The emperor was noncommittal, raised his eyes and asked: "If you don't like the excitement, I will ask people not to disturb you."
Shen Luo nodded again and again, "Okay, anyway, it's uncomfortable for me to get along with those people."
After finishing this topic, the emperor asked again, "When I came back, I thought it was you who greeted me, but when I got closer, I found it was a strange girl."
Shen Luo said with a clear face: "I heard Qing He said this, she is the wife of the governor's family, and she came to visit me in the morning?"
The emperor stared into her eyes, not knowing what to say, "Don't you have anything to say?" For example, someone pretended to be her and appeared in front of him.
Shen Luo looked puzzled, "What did you say?"
The emperor stared at her fixedly, not letting go of the expression on her face. Seeing that the girl was indeed not enlightened, he turned and left mercilessly, "I remember that there are still some things that have not been dealt with. You can eat dinner by yourself!"
Shen Luo was sad and angry, did this guy come to tease her?Came here just to say this?
boom!
A blue and white porcelain tea bowl was smashed to the ground, which shocked Granny Yu in the room.
She hurriedly drove the little maids out of the room, then walked to her wife, and coaxed carefully: "Madam, don't be angry, don't be angry, it will be good if you get angry."
Mrs. Li's angry face was distorted, "How can you let me bear this tone, that little bitch dares to do such a shameless thing behind my back, and tomorrow I won't let other wives laugh at me."
Granny Yu hurriedly comforted her, "My lady..." She used the address Mrs. Li used before when she was not married to show her closeness. "What kind of person are you? Who doesn't know the big and small people in Suzhou City? The master has always spoiled her, and everyone knows that you can't control her. Even if something goes wrong, who can blame you?"
Mrs. Li said angrily: "Sure enough, I came from a lowly background. The top beam is not upright and the bottom beam is crooked. There is an aunt who is a mother, and her daughter has learned some lowly tricks." She took a deep breath and said: "I want to see this lowly person. How does Pi Zi want to climb the tall branches!"
Granny Yu looked outside the door and quickly wanted to cover her mouth, "Oh, don't say my wife's words, it will be bad if it gets into the master's ears..."
"What did you hear, master?" Master Xu, the governor of Suzhou, walked in with a drunken face, then looked around the room and asked strangely, "Where are the servants in the room? Why are you two alone? What are you talking about?"
Mrs. Li's complexion changed, her heart stopped beating for a moment in fright, then she stroked her hair bun, quickly broke into a smile, and said: "It's nothing serious, the concubine and the nanny are talking about Mrs. Shen whom they met today. It is said that she is handsome, about the same age as our third sister, and I did not expect to have such a great fortune. The concubine wondered whether it is time to find a husband for the third sister, and the nanny said, how nice is the master? Third Sister Zhong, if it reaches your ears, you must not misunderstand it."
Master Xu showed a satisfied smile, "You are the third sister's aunt, and it is right to arrange her marriage." Then he asked curiously: "When you go to visit Mrs. Shen today, have you seen what kind of woman she is? people?"
If she is really asked to arrange that girl's marriage, it's not because she has no face when the troubles arise, Mrs. Li pissed in her heart, but she said with a smile on her face: "From the perspective of my concubine, Mrs. Shen looks very generous. It's not as quiet as the usual girls at this age." It's much better than the scumbag at home, she doesn't believe that Mrs. Shen can look at a rough and inferior product in the emperor's hands!
Master Xu stroked his beard in satisfaction, "Since being brought by His Majesty's side, there must be something special about her. You should take good care of her."
"This..." Mrs. Li hesitated.
Master Xu frowned, and looked at her impatiently, "What's the matter, are you offending someone?"
"Master and concubine are wronged..." Mrs. Li cried out, "How dare I offend others, but I don't know if master has heard..." She was a little embarrassed to say.
Master Xu raised his eyebrows, "What's the matter? The master came to your yard as soon as the entertainment was over. Why did something happen at home?"
Mrs. Li was gloating in her heart, but her face was filled with worry, "Master may not know that in the evening, our third lady wore a dress similar to Mrs. Shen's, changed her hairstyle, and then blocked Your Majesty in the garden." now." So now it is your precious daughter who offends others.
This is his beloved daughter, who offended the person he wanted to curry favor with, she wanted to see how he planned to deal with it.
Unexpectedly, Master Xu was not angry but happy, he rubbed his hands together with joy and said, "The third girl really stopped His Majesty? What is His Majesty's reaction?"
Mrs. Li looked at him in disbelief, "Master, the third girl offended Mrs. Shen!"
Master Xu looked at her with a helpless face, "As long as the third girl becomes His Majesty's woman, she will be on an equal footing with Mrs. Shen. Who cares whether she offends her? She is just a businesswoman!"
Mrs. Li stared wide-eyed, "Master, you didn't say that yesterday!" Yesterday, you had to confess to Mrs. Shen, why did you change your face in the blink of an eye?
Master Xu pointed at her impatiently and reprimanded: "Women, what do you know? Our family relies on the third girl to change the lintel." After he finished speaking, he turned his footsteps and was about to go out, "Master, let me go and see the third girl. , I won’t come back to sleep at night, remember to send some supplements to Sanyatou tomorrow.”
Mrs. Li trembled angrily. After a while, she picked up the porcelain pillow on the bed and threw it on the ground.
Grandma Xu was so frightened that she hurriedly looked outside, and quickly persuaded Mrs. Li, "My dear lady, the master is not far away yet!"
Madam Li suddenly burst into tears, "Nurse, what evil do you think I have done to deserve such a thing?"
Granny Xu quickly comforted her, "Lady, think about the young master, you still have the young master to rely on."
Thinking of her son who was studying at Qingshan College, Mrs. Li wiped her tears and said bitterly: "I want to see what beautiful dreams this father and daughter have, so let's do it, and wait until the reputation is ruined, and see who dares to want her! "
"Yeah, anyway, the eldest lady and the second lady are already married, no matter how hard the third lady is, she will be the one who will suffer at that time!" Thinking that the third lady would always bend the corner to give the wife eye drops in front of the master, which would provoke the master to do all kinds of things. Displeased, Granny Yu wished that San Niangzi's reputation would be ruined immediately.
Mrs. Li said coldly: "I think that Mrs. Shen is not an easy person. The third girl wants to step on her to take the position. It's like an old birthday star hanged herself. I'll see how these two people end up later." She said to Granny Yu Said: "Tomorrow I will call me sick, we will not participate in this matter, just watch the two father and daughter dance, and wait until the master's black gauze hat is lost."
Now she can't wait for Mr. Xu to make some troubles, anyway, her son has a good husband who doesn't worry about his future, and having this father who doesn't distinguish between right and wrong will also hinder his son in the future.
Granny Yu didn't dare to agree with these words, she just thought Mrs. Li was speaking out of anger.
The next day, Mrs. Li didn't intend to announce that she was sick, but she heard that the emperor sent people to surround Mrs. Shen's yard, but they didn't prohibit the people in the yard from entering and leaving.This is clearly telling everyone that they don't want anyone to disturb Mrs. Shen.
Master Xu rushed home in a panic during his lunch break, and went straight to Mrs. Li's yard.
"Ma'am, something is wrong. Your Majesty scolded me today because of the salt tax!"
Mrs. Li stood up and asked, "Master, isn't the salt tax collected on time this year?"
"That's right, but the salt farm stopped for half a month due to the rain a while ago, so the tax is actually transferred for next year!" In fact, the salt merchants are asked to pay part of next year's tax in advance. "I was stabbed to His Majesty by some bastard!"
"Hey, it's fine if you hand it in, the imperial court probably knows about this kind of thing." Mrs. Li comforted.
Master Xu looked aggrieved, "The key is that I didn't intervene in this matter. It was all done by that bastard Zhang Hongxian. Why did His Majesty scold me instead of asking for guilt?"
"This..." Mrs. Li hesitated.
Master Xu hurriedly said: "Could it be that Madam knows the reason?"
Mrs. Li wondered: "Sir, do you think it's because of Mrs. Shen?"
Master Xu frowned, "What's the matter with Mrs. Shen?"
Then Mrs. Li pursed her lips and said: "My concubine guesses, it must be Mrs. Shen who said something to His Majesty, otherwise His Majesty would not be angry at the master. Think about it, my third lady is stepping on Mrs. Shen." Climb up, no matter who thinks about it, it will not be happy."
"No way?" Lord Xu muttered to himself, "Your Majesty, he is not the kind of person who doesn't distinguish between public and private."
Mrs. Li hypocritically said: "Oh, this concubine is also telling her own guess. If the master doesn't want to believe it, then bribe the people around His Majesty and ask what's going on."
Anyway, she didn't believe it, Mrs. Shen didn't try hard.
Even if she didn't, she could scare her master.
Mr. Xu still doesn't believe it. In his eyes, his daughter is very good. There is no reason why the emperor would look down on her, so Mrs. Li must be scaremongering.
Master Xu felt that he had revealed the truth, so he flicked his sleeves and ran out to inquire.
Mrs. Li didn't care too much, she was drinking tea leisurely, and Granny Yu beside her was a little worried, "Madam, if the master knows that you have lied, will he hate you even more?"
Mrs. Li put down her glass and looked at her, "How do you know what I said is not true?"
Granny Yu looked shocked, "Could it be that Mrs. Shen really intended to target Master?"
Mrs. Li smiled and said something ambiguous, "No one can say anything in this world."
Granny Yu looked helpless, as long as it was something Madam didn't want to say, no one could get an accurate answer from her.
About an hour later, Master Xu came back in a f*cking mess.
As soon as he entered the door, he shouted loudly, "Ma'am, something is wrong. I have asked several people to tell me that His Majesty is indeed angry at me because of Sanyatou!"
"Master, who are you asking? Is the information accurate?" Mrs. Shen looked anxious.
Granny Yu on the side lowered her head, not daring to look at her wife's expression.
Master Xu patted his thighs, sat down on the ground, as if he couldn't hold on, with a frustrated expression on his face, "Madam, you don't know, I asked the little eunuch next to His Majesty, and he said that His Majesty came from Shenyang last night. The lady got very angry when she came back from there, and even Mr. He scolded Mrs. Shen. Early this morning, he specially sent someone to protect Mrs. Shen, and then turned around and scolded me again. Tell me for no apparent reason, what happened to the third girl yesterday caused Shen Miss? This is His Majesty venting his anger for Mrs. Shen!" He just couldn't figure it out, the third girl in his family was beautiful and talented, why didn't His Majesty look down on her?
If Mrs. Li heard his question, she would definitely tell him that with his hypocritical and clever daughter, if His Majesty really took a fancy to her, then His Majesty's eyes would be the problem!
It's just that his eyes were covered with feces, and it hurts like a treasure to catch a concubine, and he was taught by her aunt to hold this foolish master in his hands. If she didn't have a son, she would have disappeared in this family long ago It's time to stay.
"Then who are you, master?" Mrs. Li learned the lesson from the morning and never expressed her thoughts proactively.
Master Xu gritted his teeth and turned his back, "Madam, please find a husband for the third girl to marry as soon as possible!"
Mrs. Li raised her eyebrows, "Master, are you willing?"
Master Xu glared at her, "What sarcastic words are you talking about at this time? The third girl has also reached the age when she should talk about her husband's family, why am I not willing? That's fine, I will leave this to you, as soon as possible!" Has the girl lost his black hat?He has seen that the pillow is very windy, if Mrs. Shen blows it in His Majesty's ear, his black gauze hat will be lost!
In fact, Master Xu misunderstood, Shen Luo really couldn't be blamed for this matter, she didn't know that she was responsible for such a big blame, this matter was completely planned by Qing He and He Xu.
Last night the emperor was very angry when he returned to his residence after leaving, but Qinghe came over and explained that the lady was also very angry when she knew that she was impersonated, especially when she knew that the other party was blocking His Majesty.I don't know what His Majesty thought at the time, although he didn't say anything after listening to it, but the next morning, people surrounded Shen Niangzi's yard.
However, He Xu was angered once last night. He didn't hold grudges against Mrs. Shen, but put the account on Xu Sanniang's head. The so-called father repays the daughter's debt, so he secretly put on small shoes for Mr. Xu, and downplayed Zhang Hongxian's matter, which aggravated it instead. It's about Mr. Xu's lax management.
No wonder the emperor scolded him. As the governor of Jiangsu, how can there be so many things that are responsible for him?
Anyway, the emperor planned to slap the governor of Jiangsu before leaving. The cysticercus of this kind of corpse meal is no longer swollen, so is it still kept for the New Year?
After Mrs. Xu left, Granny Yu immediately said happily: "My Madam finally doesn't have to be angry anymore. Without the third lady, I will see how Concubine Mei can fight with Madam." Madam finally came to the end of her hardships. In the past, Concubine Mei always relied on the master The love for San Niangzi, secretly poking San Niangzi to fight against his wife, and he didn't think about her being an aunt who would not be able to straighten her up, and she would have to live by the face of his wife and young master when she was old.
Right now, the third lady's marriage is also in the hands of the madam, and she doesn't believe that Aunt Mei dares to play such a fool!
Mrs. Li was not happy at all, she could see through the cruelty of this man.The third girl was favored by Master Xu because she was scheming and sweet-mouthed since she was a child. She didn't expect that her daughter, who was always a sweetheart, would turn her back once it affected his career, which made Mrs. Li feel cold.
Maybe she was wrong, this man's love for Sanyatou is just like that of kittens and puppies, as long as it doesn't hinder him, he is not stingy with giving. This man doesn't love anyone, he only loves himself.
"Ask the official media, find someone who is poorer and more progressive." Mrs. Li told Granny Yu.
Granny Yu looked displeased, "Miss, are you thinking of the third lady? She won't accept your kindness, and may even suspect that we intend to harm her!" My wife is a knife-mouthed bean curd, and she is soft-hearted when it comes to the end up.
Mrs. Li lowered her head and took a sip of tea, "What does she do? We have a clear conscience." Looking for a poor family is because Sanyatou's reputation is bad, and better people in Suzhou will not take her at the risk of offending the emperor. Moreover, the family background is poor and their family's power can suppress them.Looking for a better person is entirely for the sake of Sanya. If she resigns herself to her fate and lives a good life, she may be more expensive with her husband in the future.
However, all of the above are probably just her expectations. If the third girl doesn't make trouble, then there is a real problem, but she is worthy of her, and if she makes trouble again, she will leave it to the master to deal with!
The emperor was busy dealing with the affairs in the Jiangnan officialdom, and Shen Luo was not idle either. Although the emperor sent a lot of medicinal herbs, they were all treated with little toxicity. Which imperial doctor would dare to carry the poisonous herbs with him?Aren't you afraid of being suspected of regicide?
Therefore, Shen Luo had to send people out to purchase this matter, especially some poisonous weeds were more poisonous only when they were freshly picked, so they had to spend a lot of money to buy them from the villagers who collected them.
However, the effect of spreading the money is also gratifying, at least in just a few days, Shen Luo gathered most of the poisonous weeds.
As for poisonous insects and snakes, you have to buy them separately, and you have to find a professional snake catcher to go to the mountains and wilds to find them. There are only a few kinds of poisonous snakes in Jiangsu, and the Golden Cicada Gu has been used to raise Gu, so I will take this kind of snake again. It's useless, Shen Luo intends to send people to Fujian and southern Yunnan, where the climate is humid and hot, there are many mountains and trees, and naturally there are many poisonous snakes.
But she doesn't need to bring the poisonous snake back, just take some venom.
As for the poisonous insect, she looked at Miao Jiang, which is the hometown of the poisonous insect, and it is also a good place to raise Gu. She did not believe that the Gu on the emperor's body did not come from that place.
If there is a chance, she even wants to run there by herself, so as to speed up the accumulation of Golden Cicada Gu.Raising Gu in the wild is always better than her artificial feeding.
The emperor had been busy for several days before he found time to look for Shen Luo. These days, Shen Luo was either busy feeding Gu, sacrificing and beheading, or painting talismans. I didn't pay attention to the outside world either.The main reason is that she was attracted by the family war at Governor Xu's house. Qinghe would describe it vividly to her every day, but she didn't notice the emperor's movement, but every night this person would send someone to send a drop of blood, which made Shen Luo uneasy. As for forgetting his existence.
Today, the emperor was probably afraid that she would be bored, so he said to take her out for a stroll as soon as he came, "Is there anywhere you want to go?"
Shen Luo rolled her eyes, "Let's go to Hanshan Temple!" She had always been curious about Hanshan Temple after hearing what the family members said.
Although the ferry was right next to Hanshan Temple, it was too late when I arrived in Suzhou that day, so I didn't bother to take a look at it.
The Humble Administrator's Garden was established by the previous dynasty, changed hands several times, and expanded over a hundred years. It is already the largest garden in the south of the Yangtze River. Even the Shen family's garden is nothing compared to the Humble Administrator's Garden.
Today's Humble Administrator's Garden is the residence of Xingyuan, the governor of Jiangsu Province, and his family. This time the emperor visited, the garden was specially vacated as the emperor's temporary residence.
Shen Luo took a rest after dinner, and the emperor still had something to do, so he didn't call her over. Fortunately, a drop of blood was sent.
After Shen Luo finished feeding the Golden Cicada Gu, she asked Qing He to go down to rest too, and then she sat in the dormitory and observed the dagger.
This is an unusual dagger. It looks like it has a certain age. Of course, if it didn't have a certain history, it would not be cultivated into an evil weapon.
However, there was no mark on the dagger, so Shen Luo couldn't recognize the origin of this dagger. The material was not iron or steel, and it was more like the meteorite iron recorded in the book.Shen Luo thought for a while and thought about which of the magical weapons made of meteoric iron from outside the sky would go along with this dagger.
But after all, she didn't know much about Shenbing, so she didn't see why.
This dagger has already given birth to a spirit, and the opponent polluted the spirit of the weapon with evil spirits, and then absorbed the resentment, which turned this sharp weapon into an evil weapon, which looked extremely dangerous.
Shen Luo didn't want to hurt the spirit of the weapon. Like this kind of magic weapon with spirituality, the spirit has already been integrated with the weapon. If the spirit is abolished, the weapon will become a piece of scrap iron.
So Shen Luo intends to collect it into the inner mansion and use spiritual power to nourish it, and slowly pull out the evil energy in the sharp weapon, but this has a certain degree of danger. Whatever happened to her, but there would still be some troubles then.
In the end to do or not to do?Shen Luo decided to do it anyway, after all, after she succeeds, she can have her own magic weapon, which is much more advanced than Shanxing's gourd and Changfeng's golden tortoise.
In the future, she won't have to watch others show off her magic weapon in front of her.
Thinking of doing it, Shen Luo first used the five thunderbolts/talismans to induce a trace of lightning to eliminate more than half of the evil energy on the dagger.Both the weapon spirit and the evil weapon were greatly damaged at this time, Shen Luo then carefully penetrated the divine sense into the dagger, and found the place where the weapon spirit was, and then she found an imprint in the dagger, if there was nothing to do with it outside contact.
She was not surprised, she knew that this was the imprint of the owner of the dagger, if it was close, she could rely on the imprint to recall the dagger.
And probably the owner of the dagger didn't expect that the dagger was no longer on Jiang Longling's body, but fell into her hands instead, otherwise he would have taken it back long ago.
Seeing this imprint, Shen Luo's consciousness immediately rushed over, and roughly erased it, the imprint quickly melted like snowflakes under the scorching sun, and the dagger became an unowned thing again, and then Shen Luo wiped away his consciousness After burning it on, I felt satisfied with the connection between myself and the dagger, as if I could move my fingers freely.
In a ruined temple outside the city of Suzhou, a man in white suddenly spat out a mouthful of blood while covering his chest, and said angrily, "Damn it, who dared to take away my magic weapon?" His tone of voice was a little weird, It seems that he is not very proficient in speaking the Central Plains dialect.
Before the emperor crossed the Yangtze River safely, he knew that there was an expert around the emperor, and he originally planned to follow behind to find an opportunity to strike, but he didn't expect to be cut off from the magic weapon directly.
Suzhou couldn't stay any longer. The fact that that person could easily erase his connection with the magic weapon meant that his cultivation level was higher than his. Now that he was injured, he was absolutely unable to deal with it. The man packed up his things and immediately left the ruined temple and disappeared into the night.
However, the emperor always wanted to return to the capital, and when he set up a net in the capital, he would always be able to find out who that person was!
Shen Luo didn't know that she frightened the people behind her back for a short time, nor did she know that the capital had set up a net to wait for her. After she subdued the dagger, she realized that she had thought too much just now. Although the dagger was an evil weapon, it was a weapon inside. Ling has always insisted on that bit of spirituality, and now with Shen Luo's help, sooner or later the remaining evil will be wiped out.
"I'll call you, let's kill it, to commemorate that you once killed the dragon spirit."
The dagger made a crisp golden sound as a response, Shen Luo bent his eyes, and then pinched a spell to chop off and put it in his dantian.
On the second day, after Shen Luo got up, he heard Qing He's report, "Lady, the governor's wife of Jiangsu and the family members of the local officials came to pay their respects."
"Hi? Please what?" Shen Luo was letting the maid behind her comb her hair, and it was very strange to hear Qing He's words.
"Miss, your status is different now, it is only natural for these officials' families to greet you." Qing He knew that Shen Luo didn't understand these things, so he patiently explained.
Shen Luo snorted, refusing the maid to wear a wig on her head, and only allowed two silver hairpins to be pinned, and then said indifferently: "See you!"
Qing He suggested: "The servants have to treat them well, and then go to see the lady after breakfast." This is the first time the lady appears in front of the public, so naturally she should be treated well.
Shen Luo nodded in agreement.
After breakfast, Shen Luo took Qing He and the maid to the living room. As soon as she entered, she saw the seven or eight people who had been sitting there got up and greeted.
Shen Luo turned half of his body, called out to get up, and then went to the front and sat down.
"Everyone, please sit down." Shen Luo said with a smile.
In fact, with her status, she can't accept the gifts of these people. After all, although she is the emperor's woman in name, she is not considered to be of high rank if she has not been formally conferred, and naturally she will not be on an equal footing with these royal wives.
But then again, she is the emperor's woman after all, and there is a difference between monarchs and ministers. These people still have to salute her because of emotion and reason, so Shen Luo only accepted half of the salute.
Only then did everyone raise their heads and glance at Shen Luo secretly, and then they were all surprised. In their opinion, this woman who was able to bring the emperor back to the palace by virtue of her identity as a business woman should be enchanting, otherwise, how could she be so fascinated by the emperor? Misunderstood.
But the one in front of me, although she looks extraordinary, is also too young, with a childish look on her face. Could it be that the emperor likes young girls now?People with daughters who are around the same age in their families began to think in their hearts, if they look like Mrs. Shen, wouldn't their own daughters also have a chance?
And the few young girls who came with their elders were also full of splendor.
"I don't know why everyone wants to see me?" Shen Luo sat on the seat, straightened her waist and asked.
One of the ladies who looked the most noble got up and said: "Nothing else, just heard that the lady is coming to Suzhou for the first time, so I came here to pay a visit."
Shen Luo glanced at Qing He, Qing He immediately walked to her side and introduced in a low voice: "This is the wife of the governor of Jiangsu, Mrs. Li."
"Mrs. Li, please sit down. I don't have so many rules here, just treat it as a friend and chat casually." Shen Luo stretched out his hand and gestured, then smiled and continued: "Suzhou is also famous all over the world. When I was in Yangzhou However, I often hear people say that Suzhou has beautiful scenery, unique in the world, and I have always admired it. Unfortunately, I have never been able to see it. This time, I have the honor to come to Suzhou with your majesty. Tell me about the beautiful scenery in Suzhou?"
Mrs. Li's sitting posture is very standard, and she replied in a harmonious voice: "Huqiu Mountain, Hanshan Temple, Jinji Lake, these places are very good, but the most recommended by my concubine is the Humble Administrator's Garden. The scenery of the Humble Administrator's Garden is unique in Suzhou , if the lady is willing to watch, I am willing to lead the way for you."
Shen Luo declined with a smile, Mrs. Li was not depressed, instead she started to talk about other topics, and then the atmosphere in the hall became lively because Mrs. Li had both sides, and Shen Luo sipped tea and listened with a smile.
This kind of entertainment is very boring, but Shen Luo keenly sensed something strange from the anecdotes about Hanshan Temple casually shared by a few people, she secretly remembered it, and planned to visit it when she was free.
"...Miss Shen, I don't know if this skirt on you is a popular style in Yangzhou?" The young lady who was following Mrs. Li asked Shen Luo in a low voice.
Shen Luo wore a gauze skirt with small sleeves today, which was quite different from other complicated and cumbersome skirts with wide sleeves. It looked young and beautiful.
After all, she is a little girl, so she pays more attention to the style of makeup and clothes.
Shen Luoxun looked over, and saw that the girl looked at her clothes with curiosity.
"No, it's a popular style in Beijing this year, and it hasn't spread to the south of the Yangtze River yet. It was made by the maid beside me under the guidance of the palace maid."
The girl was immediately envious, and Shen Luo noticed that Mrs. Li's face was a little stiff, but she quickly covered it up.
Seeing that Shen Luo was so friendly, soon the few girls in the hall also asked about Shen Luo, about her makeup, hairstyle and so on.
Shen Luo answered at the beginning, but later these girls asked more and more, many of them were difficult for Shen Luo to deal with, and then pushed these topics to Qing He.
The wives present also found that Shen Luo didn't like these topics, but the girls were pampered at home and couldn't interrupt rashly, so they quickly found excuses and led their daughters and nieces to leave.
After the people left, Shen Luo's originally straight back suddenly relaxed, and she smiled wryly, "What are these people doing here?" She said they were here to visit her, but she didn't look like it at all, more like a rare sight. thing.
Qing He didn't know why, after all, she was inexperienced, so she let Shen Luo listen to her guess, "My servant guessed, probably because I want to make friends with you, my lady."
Shen Luo rubbed his throbbing head, waved his hands, "You will refuse if you come again next time, I don't want to receive these people anymore."
Qing He bowed his body and said yes.
However, at night, Shen Luo knew exactly what these people were here for.
At that time, Shen Luo was copying the medicinal materials with a pen, when she saw Qing He walked in aggressively, "Lady, do you know what the servant saw?" She complained to Shen Luo.
Shen Luo didn't even look at her, he kept writing, and asked casually, "What did you see?"
Qing He waved his hand angrily, and complained to Shen Luo, "The little lady of the governor's family is so shameless that she actually stopped His Majesty in the garden. The most important thing is that she is still wearing the same clothes as today's lady, and combed the same clothes. Hair in a bun." If she hadn't happened to pass by and saw the emperor stop to talk to someone, she wouldn't have noticed that someone was stepping on her own wife to take the throne.
"It's so nasty!"
Shen Luo held up the pen, with a look of sudden realization, "So that's the case, no wonder these people are always concerned about my makeup and clothes today."
However, she comforted Qing He, "Don't worry, Your Majesty won't take a liking to the governor's wife." It's not the same thing between her and the emperor, so even imitating her makeup will have no effect.
Qing He was still angry and said: "Then the lady just forget about it?"
Shen Luo put down the pen, picked up the medicine prescription and dried the ink on it, then handed it to her and said, "Okay, this is just a trivial matter, don't worry about it, you follow this prescription to buy medicine, remember to bring a guard with you when you go out. "
Seeing that Shen Luo didn't take that matter to heart at all, Qing He could only secretly worry, and then took Fang Zi, still thinking in his heart, how about talking to He Xu.
If the master doesn't care about it, then these servants can't ignore it.
"What prescription?" The emperor came in from the outside and asked.
Shen Luo and Qing He saluted together.
The emperor took the prescription from Qing He's hand and took a look.
Shen Luo replied: "These are medicinal materials that contain trace amounts of toxins, suitable for the Golden Cicada Gu to use now."
When the emperor heard this, he handed the prescription to He Xu, "I will find He Xu for medicinal materials in the future, and the imperial physician will not lack any medicinal materials."
Shen Luo also felt a little stupid, the emperor even brought a toilet when traveling, let alone medicinal materials.
She patted her forehead and suddenly said: "Didn't you forget?"
Then the emperor walked up to her, and Qing He wanted to follow, but was dragged out by He Xu with disgust.
"What have you been up to today?" The emperor stood by the table where Shen Luo had written the prescription before, and casually flipped through the basic medical books placed beside the table, all of which recorded the properties of various medicinal materials in detail.
"I didn't do anything. In the morning, Mrs. Li brought someone over to visit, and in the afternoon I kept looking through medical books."
The emperor was noncommittal, raised his eyes and asked: "If you don't like the excitement, I will ask people not to disturb you."
Shen Luo nodded again and again, "Okay, anyway, it's uncomfortable for me to get along with those people."
After finishing this topic, the emperor asked again, "When I came back, I thought it was you who greeted me, but when I got closer, I found it was a strange girl."
Shen Luo said with a clear face: "I heard Qing He said this, she is the wife of the governor's family, and she came to visit me in the morning?"
The emperor stared into her eyes, not knowing what to say, "Don't you have anything to say?" For example, someone pretended to be her and appeared in front of him.
Shen Luo looked puzzled, "What did you say?"
The emperor stared at her fixedly, not letting go of the expression on her face. Seeing that the girl was indeed not enlightened, he turned and left mercilessly, "I remember that there are still some things that have not been dealt with. You can eat dinner by yourself!"
Shen Luo was sad and angry, did this guy come to tease her?Came here just to say this?
boom!
A blue and white porcelain tea bowl was smashed to the ground, which shocked Granny Yu in the room.
She hurriedly drove the little maids out of the room, then walked to her wife, and coaxed carefully: "Madam, don't be angry, don't be angry, it will be good if you get angry."
Mrs. Li's angry face was distorted, "How can you let me bear this tone, that little bitch dares to do such a shameless thing behind my back, and tomorrow I won't let other wives laugh at me."
Granny Yu hurriedly comforted her, "My lady..." She used the address Mrs. Li used before when she was not married to show her closeness. "What kind of person are you? Who doesn't know the big and small people in Suzhou City? The master has always spoiled her, and everyone knows that you can't control her. Even if something goes wrong, who can blame you?"
Mrs. Li said angrily: "Sure enough, I came from a lowly background. The top beam is not upright and the bottom beam is crooked. There is an aunt who is a mother, and her daughter has learned some lowly tricks." She took a deep breath and said: "I want to see this lowly person. How does Pi Zi want to climb the tall branches!"
Granny Yu looked outside the door and quickly wanted to cover her mouth, "Oh, don't say my wife's words, it will be bad if it gets into the master's ears..."
"What did you hear, master?" Master Xu, the governor of Suzhou, walked in with a drunken face, then looked around the room and asked strangely, "Where are the servants in the room? Why are you two alone? What are you talking about?"
Mrs. Li's complexion changed, her heart stopped beating for a moment in fright, then she stroked her hair bun, quickly broke into a smile, and said: "It's nothing serious, the concubine and the nanny are talking about Mrs. Shen whom they met today. It is said that she is handsome, about the same age as our third sister, and I did not expect to have such a great fortune. The concubine wondered whether it is time to find a husband for the third sister, and the nanny said, how nice is the master? Third Sister Zhong, if it reaches your ears, you must not misunderstand it."
Master Xu showed a satisfied smile, "You are the third sister's aunt, and it is right to arrange her marriage." Then he asked curiously: "When you go to visit Mrs. Shen today, have you seen what kind of woman she is? people?"
If she is really asked to arrange that girl's marriage, it's not because she has no face when the troubles arise, Mrs. Li pissed in her heart, but she said with a smile on her face: "From the perspective of my concubine, Mrs. Shen looks very generous. It's not as quiet as the usual girls at this age." It's much better than the scumbag at home, she doesn't believe that Mrs. Shen can look at a rough and inferior product in the emperor's hands!
Master Xu stroked his beard in satisfaction, "Since being brought by His Majesty's side, there must be something special about her. You should take good care of her."
"This..." Mrs. Li hesitated.
Master Xu frowned, and looked at her impatiently, "What's the matter, are you offending someone?"
"Master and concubine are wronged..." Mrs. Li cried out, "How dare I offend others, but I don't know if master has heard..." She was a little embarrassed to say.
Master Xu raised his eyebrows, "What's the matter? The master came to your yard as soon as the entertainment was over. Why did something happen at home?"
Mrs. Li was gloating in her heart, but her face was filled with worry, "Master may not know that in the evening, our third lady wore a dress similar to Mrs. Shen's, changed her hairstyle, and then blocked Your Majesty in the garden." now." So now it is your precious daughter who offends others.
This is his beloved daughter, who offended the person he wanted to curry favor with, she wanted to see how he planned to deal with it.
Unexpectedly, Master Xu was not angry but happy, he rubbed his hands together with joy and said, "The third girl really stopped His Majesty? What is His Majesty's reaction?"
Mrs. Li looked at him in disbelief, "Master, the third girl offended Mrs. Shen!"
Master Xu looked at her with a helpless face, "As long as the third girl becomes His Majesty's woman, she will be on an equal footing with Mrs. Shen. Who cares whether she offends her? She is just a businesswoman!"
Mrs. Li stared wide-eyed, "Master, you didn't say that yesterday!" Yesterday, you had to confess to Mrs. Shen, why did you change your face in the blink of an eye?
Master Xu pointed at her impatiently and reprimanded: "Women, what do you know? Our family relies on the third girl to change the lintel." After he finished speaking, he turned his footsteps and was about to go out, "Master, let me go and see the third girl. , I won’t come back to sleep at night, remember to send some supplements to Sanyatou tomorrow.”
Mrs. Li trembled angrily. After a while, she picked up the porcelain pillow on the bed and threw it on the ground.
Grandma Xu was so frightened that she hurriedly looked outside, and quickly persuaded Mrs. Li, "My dear lady, the master is not far away yet!"
Madam Li suddenly burst into tears, "Nurse, what evil do you think I have done to deserve such a thing?"
Granny Xu quickly comforted her, "Lady, think about the young master, you still have the young master to rely on."
Thinking of her son who was studying at Qingshan College, Mrs. Li wiped her tears and said bitterly: "I want to see what beautiful dreams this father and daughter have, so let's do it, and wait until the reputation is ruined, and see who dares to want her! "
"Yeah, anyway, the eldest lady and the second lady are already married, no matter how hard the third lady is, she will be the one who will suffer at that time!" Thinking that the third lady would always bend the corner to give the wife eye drops in front of the master, which would provoke the master to do all kinds of things. Displeased, Granny Yu wished that San Niangzi's reputation would be ruined immediately.
Mrs. Li said coldly: "I think that Mrs. Shen is not an easy person. The third girl wants to step on her to take the position. It's like an old birthday star hanged herself. I'll see how these two people end up later." She said to Granny Yu Said: "Tomorrow I will call me sick, we will not participate in this matter, just watch the two father and daughter dance, and wait until the master's black gauze hat is lost."
Now she can't wait for Mr. Xu to make some troubles, anyway, her son has a good husband who doesn't worry about his future, and having this father who doesn't distinguish between right and wrong will also hinder his son in the future.
Granny Yu didn't dare to agree with these words, she just thought Mrs. Li was speaking out of anger.
The next day, Mrs. Li didn't intend to announce that she was sick, but she heard that the emperor sent people to surround Mrs. Shen's yard, but they didn't prohibit the people in the yard from entering and leaving.This is clearly telling everyone that they don't want anyone to disturb Mrs. Shen.
Master Xu rushed home in a panic during his lunch break, and went straight to Mrs. Li's yard.
"Ma'am, something is wrong. Your Majesty scolded me today because of the salt tax!"
Mrs. Li stood up and asked, "Master, isn't the salt tax collected on time this year?"
"That's right, but the salt farm stopped for half a month due to the rain a while ago, so the tax is actually transferred for next year!" In fact, the salt merchants are asked to pay part of next year's tax in advance. "I was stabbed to His Majesty by some bastard!"
"Hey, it's fine if you hand it in, the imperial court probably knows about this kind of thing." Mrs. Li comforted.
Master Xu looked aggrieved, "The key is that I didn't intervene in this matter. It was all done by that bastard Zhang Hongxian. Why did His Majesty scold me instead of asking for guilt?"
"This..." Mrs. Li hesitated.
Master Xu hurriedly said: "Could it be that Madam knows the reason?"
Mrs. Li wondered: "Sir, do you think it's because of Mrs. Shen?"
Master Xu frowned, "What's the matter with Mrs. Shen?"
Then Mrs. Li pursed her lips and said: "My concubine guesses, it must be Mrs. Shen who said something to His Majesty, otherwise His Majesty would not be angry at the master. Think about it, my third lady is stepping on Mrs. Shen." Climb up, no matter who thinks about it, it will not be happy."
"No way?" Lord Xu muttered to himself, "Your Majesty, he is not the kind of person who doesn't distinguish between public and private."
Mrs. Li hypocritically said: "Oh, this concubine is also telling her own guess. If the master doesn't want to believe it, then bribe the people around His Majesty and ask what's going on."
Anyway, she didn't believe it, Mrs. Shen didn't try hard.
Even if she didn't, she could scare her master.
Mr. Xu still doesn't believe it. In his eyes, his daughter is very good. There is no reason why the emperor would look down on her, so Mrs. Li must be scaremongering.
Master Xu felt that he had revealed the truth, so he flicked his sleeves and ran out to inquire.
Mrs. Li didn't care too much, she was drinking tea leisurely, and Granny Yu beside her was a little worried, "Madam, if the master knows that you have lied, will he hate you even more?"
Mrs. Li put down her glass and looked at her, "How do you know what I said is not true?"
Granny Yu looked shocked, "Could it be that Mrs. Shen really intended to target Master?"
Mrs. Li smiled and said something ambiguous, "No one can say anything in this world."
Granny Yu looked helpless, as long as it was something Madam didn't want to say, no one could get an accurate answer from her.
About an hour later, Master Xu came back in a f*cking mess.
As soon as he entered the door, he shouted loudly, "Ma'am, something is wrong. I have asked several people to tell me that His Majesty is indeed angry at me because of Sanyatou!"
"Master, who are you asking? Is the information accurate?" Mrs. Shen looked anxious.
Granny Yu on the side lowered her head, not daring to look at her wife's expression.
Master Xu patted his thighs, sat down on the ground, as if he couldn't hold on, with a frustrated expression on his face, "Madam, you don't know, I asked the little eunuch next to His Majesty, and he said that His Majesty came from Shenyang last night. The lady got very angry when she came back from there, and even Mr. He scolded Mrs. Shen. Early this morning, he specially sent someone to protect Mrs. Shen, and then turned around and scolded me again. Tell me for no apparent reason, what happened to the third girl yesterday caused Shen Miss? This is His Majesty venting his anger for Mrs. Shen!" He just couldn't figure it out, the third girl in his family was beautiful and talented, why didn't His Majesty look down on her?
If Mrs. Li heard his question, she would definitely tell him that with his hypocritical and clever daughter, if His Majesty really took a fancy to her, then His Majesty's eyes would be the problem!
It's just that his eyes were covered with feces, and it hurts like a treasure to catch a concubine, and he was taught by her aunt to hold this foolish master in his hands. If she didn't have a son, she would have disappeared in this family long ago It's time to stay.
"Then who are you, master?" Mrs. Li learned the lesson from the morning and never expressed her thoughts proactively.
Master Xu gritted his teeth and turned his back, "Madam, please find a husband for the third girl to marry as soon as possible!"
Mrs. Li raised her eyebrows, "Master, are you willing?"
Master Xu glared at her, "What sarcastic words are you talking about at this time? The third girl has also reached the age when she should talk about her husband's family, why am I not willing? That's fine, I will leave this to you, as soon as possible!" Has the girl lost his black hat?He has seen that the pillow is very windy, if Mrs. Shen blows it in His Majesty's ear, his black gauze hat will be lost!
In fact, Master Xu misunderstood, Shen Luo really couldn't be blamed for this matter, she didn't know that she was responsible for such a big blame, this matter was completely planned by Qing He and He Xu.
Last night the emperor was very angry when he returned to his residence after leaving, but Qinghe came over and explained that the lady was also very angry when she knew that she was impersonated, especially when she knew that the other party was blocking His Majesty.I don't know what His Majesty thought at the time, although he didn't say anything after listening to it, but the next morning, people surrounded Shen Niangzi's yard.
However, He Xu was angered once last night. He didn't hold grudges against Mrs. Shen, but put the account on Xu Sanniang's head. The so-called father repays the daughter's debt, so he secretly put on small shoes for Mr. Xu, and downplayed Zhang Hongxian's matter, which aggravated it instead. It's about Mr. Xu's lax management.
No wonder the emperor scolded him. As the governor of Jiangsu, how can there be so many things that are responsible for him?
Anyway, the emperor planned to slap the governor of Jiangsu before leaving. The cysticercus of this kind of corpse meal is no longer swollen, so is it still kept for the New Year?
After Mrs. Xu left, Granny Yu immediately said happily: "My Madam finally doesn't have to be angry anymore. Without the third lady, I will see how Concubine Mei can fight with Madam." Madam finally came to the end of her hardships. In the past, Concubine Mei always relied on the master The love for San Niangzi, secretly poking San Niangzi to fight against his wife, and he didn't think about her being an aunt who would not be able to straighten her up, and she would have to live by the face of his wife and young master when she was old.
Right now, the third lady's marriage is also in the hands of the madam, and she doesn't believe that Aunt Mei dares to play such a fool!
Mrs. Li was not happy at all, she could see through the cruelty of this man.The third girl was favored by Master Xu because she was scheming and sweet-mouthed since she was a child. She didn't expect that her daughter, who was always a sweetheart, would turn her back once it affected his career, which made Mrs. Li feel cold.
Maybe she was wrong, this man's love for Sanyatou is just like that of kittens and puppies, as long as it doesn't hinder him, he is not stingy with giving. This man doesn't love anyone, he only loves himself.
"Ask the official media, find someone who is poorer and more progressive." Mrs. Li told Granny Yu.
Granny Yu looked displeased, "Miss, are you thinking of the third lady? She won't accept your kindness, and may even suspect that we intend to harm her!" My wife is a knife-mouthed bean curd, and she is soft-hearted when it comes to the end up.
Mrs. Li lowered her head and took a sip of tea, "What does she do? We have a clear conscience." Looking for a poor family is because Sanyatou's reputation is bad, and better people in Suzhou will not take her at the risk of offending the emperor. Moreover, the family background is poor and their family's power can suppress them.Looking for a better person is entirely for the sake of Sanya. If she resigns herself to her fate and lives a good life, she may be more expensive with her husband in the future.
However, all of the above are probably just her expectations. If the third girl doesn't make trouble, then there is a real problem, but she is worthy of her, and if she makes trouble again, she will leave it to the master to deal with!
The emperor was busy dealing with the affairs in the Jiangnan officialdom, and Shen Luo was not idle either. Although the emperor sent a lot of medicinal herbs, they were all treated with little toxicity. Which imperial doctor would dare to carry the poisonous herbs with him?Aren't you afraid of being suspected of regicide?
Therefore, Shen Luo had to send people out to purchase this matter, especially some poisonous weeds were more poisonous only when they were freshly picked, so they had to spend a lot of money to buy them from the villagers who collected them.
However, the effect of spreading the money is also gratifying, at least in just a few days, Shen Luo gathered most of the poisonous weeds.
As for poisonous insects and snakes, you have to buy them separately, and you have to find a professional snake catcher to go to the mountains and wilds to find them. There are only a few kinds of poisonous snakes in Jiangsu, and the Golden Cicada Gu has been used to raise Gu, so I will take this kind of snake again. It's useless, Shen Luo intends to send people to Fujian and southern Yunnan, where the climate is humid and hot, there are many mountains and trees, and naturally there are many poisonous snakes.
But she doesn't need to bring the poisonous snake back, just take some venom.
As for the poisonous insect, she looked at Miao Jiang, which is the hometown of the poisonous insect, and it is also a good place to raise Gu. She did not believe that the Gu on the emperor's body did not come from that place.
If there is a chance, she even wants to run there by herself, so as to speed up the accumulation of Golden Cicada Gu.Raising Gu in the wild is always better than her artificial feeding.
The emperor had been busy for several days before he found time to look for Shen Luo. These days, Shen Luo was either busy feeding Gu, sacrificing and beheading, or painting talismans. I didn't pay attention to the outside world either.The main reason is that she was attracted by the family war at Governor Xu's house. Qinghe would describe it vividly to her every day, but she didn't notice the emperor's movement, but every night this person would send someone to send a drop of blood, which made Shen Luo uneasy. As for forgetting his existence.
Today, the emperor was probably afraid that she would be bored, so he said to take her out for a stroll as soon as he came, "Is there anywhere you want to go?"
Shen Luo rolled her eyes, "Let's go to Hanshan Temple!" She had always been curious about Hanshan Temple after hearing what the family members said.
Although the ferry was right next to Hanshan Temple, it was too late when I arrived in Suzhou that day, so I didn't bother to take a look at it.
