MTL - The Peasant Girl’s Splendid Manor-Chapter 1081 Shameless little white flower
Chapter 1081 Shameless little white flower
The capital is a hundred miles away from the Shen family, and I was worried that I might miss the right time. This time, instead of a big red sedan chair, I used a brand new carriage decorated with red silk. The carriage was covered with three layers of thick mattresses, which were soft and soft to sit on. Even if the road was bumpy, it would not be unbearable.
Mo Yan sat on a carriage behind the wedding carriage, which was also covered with a thick mattress. He walked like this quickly and slowly for three hours without stopping, and finally arrived at Shen's house before You hour.
The auspicious time to visit the hall is at the second hour of Youshi. At the wedding hall, Mo Yan finally met the legendary cousin of the Shen family - Lu Zhu.
Lu Zhu is twenty-eight years old. She has soft features and a slender figure. Anyone who sees her will praise her for her beauty. At this time, she was standing next to Xi Tang. She was wearing off-white clothes and a small white flower on her hair, which was particularly dazzling compared to the red color in the room. Unlike the beaming guests around her, she had a cold face and stared at the newlyweds who were kneeling in the center of the hall, jealousy almost bursting out of her eyes.
Mo Yancai could guess this appearance without anyone having to identify him. Her originally smiling face suddenly turned cold, and a daughter-in-law who had been arranged by the Shen family to entertain her was so frightened that her heart tightened and she didn't understand why Lord Hejia suddenly changed his expression.
Seeing that the anger in this noble man's eyes was burning, the daughter-in-law asked quickly, regardless of her fear: "Junjun, what are you feeling wrong about?"
At this time, Mo Yan was extremely angry. This Lu Zhu had just lost her mother. There was nothing wrong with wearing hot mourning and white clothes, but she should never have appeared at the wedding hall. On such a happy day, no one wearing a hat should show up at all. She knew this. Could it be that with so many people in the Shen family, no one understood?
This is obviously not taking the girl from the Liu family seriously!
After listening to the words of his wife beside him, Mo Yan seemed to have found an outlet and sneered: "The Shen family has really good rules. This is the first time that this Junjun knows that someone wearing Rexiao can appear in this wedding hall. "
The daughter-in-law was startled when she heard this. She quickly raised her head and looked around. Sure enough, she saw Lu Zhu standing in the corner among the crowd opposite. Her face turned pale with fright.
She looked at Mo Yan, whose face was getting darker and darker. She scolded Lu Zhu for not understanding the rules in her heart, but she had to explain carefully on her face: "Junjun, this girl is young and ignorant. I think she is." I was so excited about the bustle here that I forgot for a moment, don’t argue with a little girl, I’ll just let her go."
Mo Yan glanced at the daughter-in-law with a half-smile, her eyes becoming colder and colder: "Whether she forgot or did it on purpose, Madam knows very well. Even if she pulls her down immediately, there is no point."
Actually, Mo Yan had already calmed down after seeing the wife's expression. It's impossible for the Shen family to do this kind of thing intentionally. Even if they didn't pay attention to the girl from the Liu family, the groom in this wedding was Shen Ji. There was no reason for the Shen family to bring bad luck to their son.
Looking at where Lu Zhu was standing, it was obvious that she had sneaked in without anyone noticing. There were so many people in the wedding hall, and the attention of the newlyweds was attracted, so it was not surprising that she was not noticed.
What annoys Mo Yan the most is that Lu Zhu’s description clearly shows that he is obsessed with his cousin Shen Ji. As long as she is in the Shen family for a day, she will definitely make her friends uncomfortable. If you want to be shameless, you may disturb the relationship between your friend, your husband, and your husband's family. If you are shameless, you may make a scandal by recommending yourself to your bed.
Seeing Lu Zhu's affectionate eyes looking at Shen Ji who was worshiping in the church, the chill in Mo Yan's eyes became even stronger.
The emcee had already finished singing the couple's prayers. Even though they were separated by hijabs, the two people in the wedding hall bowed together in tacit understanding and straightened up in unison. Mo Yan suppressed the displeasure in her heart and did not break out on the spot, but she would never let this matter go just like that!
The newlyweds Liu Tinglan and Shen Ji were escorted to the new house by Xi Niang and some people from the Shen family. Mo Yan and other members of the bride's family could no longer follow them. They entered the house under the warm reception of Shen's father and Shen's mother. Had a banquet.
The Shen family was a businessman, and it was not until Shen Ji passed the high school scholar examination that he passed the examination and was considered a member of the family. Among the guests who came to congratulate this time, apart from my own family, most of them were businessmen with business dealings. Even if a few were in public positions, they were only minor officials. Mo Yan became the most distinguished guest of the Shen family and was arranged to sit He took the first seat, accompanied by Mrs. Shen and the wives of several minor officials.
During the dinner, Mo Yan was constantly being toasted. She was dissatisfied with the Shen family but would not do anything inappropriate at this time, so she drank the wine in a dignified manner. Later, more and more people offered toasts, and she refused because she was too drunk.
In fact, the wine on the women’s table is all rice wine that is not easy to get drunk. Even people who don’t know how to drink are unlikely to get drunk after drinking a pound. When those people saw that Mo Yan was sober and didn't look like he was drunk, they pretended not to know. The face that should be given has already been given, and it would be pointless to ask for it again.
The people surrounding the toast gradually dispersed, and Mo Yan was finally at peace. She glanced at the group at the table and casually asked Mrs. Shen who was standing next to her: "I heard that Madam has a niece with excellent appearance. I wonder which young lady here is she?"
"The Lord has given me the award!" Mrs. Shen did not doubt that he was there, and explained with a smile: "The niece of the civilian woman is wearing a warm mourning. It is not convenient for her to come out to see the Lord on such an occasion today, and I hope the Lord will forgive me."
After hearing this, Mo Yan's face changed slightly, and then she smiled and said: "I see, it's a bit of a pity! Madam is kind. Sister Lan is lucky to have a mother-in-law like Madam, but after all, Sister Lan is newly married and was taken over by Uncle Liu. Aunt Liu's eyes ached, and her heart was filled with uncertainty. It so happened that Madam's niece was similar in age to Sister Lan, and now she has become an aunt. The Lord wanted to ask her to spend more time with Sister Lan, so that Sister Lan could adapt as soon as possible. !”
Seeing the flash of strange color on Mo Yan's face, Mrs. Shen just thought she was jealous of her niece Dai Rexiao, and immediately said: "The prince can rest assured about this. The niece of the civilian woman is not only very good, but she is the most well-behaved." , Lan'er has a generous temper, these sisters and sister-in-law will definitely get along well, but it's just not convenient for them to see each other in the first three days of their wedding."
They all come from new wives. Mrs. Shen can understand that her daughter-in-law will have various discomforts when she becomes a new wife. She is not an evil mother-in-law. She has never thought about teasing her daughter-in-law, let alone the discomfort of finding a new wife. She originally planned to meet this sister-in-law after three days so that they could get along well in the future.
Clever? There was a smile on Mo Yan's lips, but a coldness flashed in her eyes. It seems that Lu Zhu is still a little white flower, at least her fox tail has not been discovered by Mrs. Shen. In this way, if she disrupts the relationship between Sister Lan and Mrs. Shen's mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, she might succeed.
With this thought in mind, Mo Yan said, "This will make me feel relieved. When I see Uncle Liu and Aunt Liu, I can give them some comfort."
Mrs. Shen repeatedly said yes. She sighed in her heart about the deep love between her daughter-in-law and the sisters of Hejia County. At the same time, she was lucky to get to know the future Mrs. Yipinhou, and she unconsciously became cautious in her treatment of her daughter-in-law.
The Shen family has a shallow foundation. It can be called a wealthy family in this small county, but it is nothing in the capital city where there are many powerful people.
After Shen Ji won the imperial examination, the Shen family became one of the top families in the city. However, no one can guarantee that he will pass the Jinshi exam. If he passes the exam, he still needs connections to pave an easy official path. If he fails the exam, he can become an official by recruiting people, and he also needs connections.
When the Shen family married Liu Tinglan, they never thought about marrying Mo Yan, but it would be best if they could marry her.
Mo Yan wanted this result. She repeatedly referred to herself as "the Lord of this County" in her speech, and expressed her deep love for Sister Lan, just to support Sister Lan and remind the Shen family not to treat Sister Lan poorly.
The atmosphere at the dinner was quite good. As a junior, Mo Yan took the initiative to toast Mrs. Shen with several glasses of wine. At the men's table on the other side, the young people from the Liu family who were seeing off their brides had been persuaded to drink a lot of wine. By the time Shen Ji came out of the bridal chamber to toast and thank the guests, the group of people were already staggering drunkenly, even the wine glasses were missing. I can’t afford it either.
Looking so drunk, it was difficult to walk, let alone ride back to Beijing overnight. After Mrs. Shen heard about it, she quickly asked her servants to clean the guest room, apparently to persuade these people to stay overnight.
Mo Yan secretly sighed that this group of people was unreliable, but it saved her the trouble of finding excuses to stay at the Shen family, so this was the most appropriate thing.
After the wedding banquet was over, the Liu family's group of people were helped to the guest room by the Shen family's servants. Mo Yan stayed on under Mrs. Shen's persuasion. Finally, the maid arranged by the Shen family took a bath and lay down. The bed in the guest room.
Waving away the maid who was preparing to attend the night, Mo Yan took up a pen and wrote a letter home. After explaining the reason why she couldn't come back, she released an owl from the space and asked it to send the letter home.
Watching the owl disappear under the silvery night sky, Mo Yan stood in front of the window for a long time without moving...
Although he didn't recognize the bed, Mo Yan was still a little unaccustomed to being in a strange environment, so he fell asleep very late. The consequence of going to bed late was getting up late. When she woke up, it was already bright and the sun was already three in the sky.
Getting up from the bed, Mo Yan beat her head in frustration. She quickly put on her clothes and took the warm water that the maid brought in. While washing herself, she asked: "At this hour, has the bride already served tea?"
The maid replied nervously: "Your Majesty, yesterday my wife told the young master that tea would be served at the end of the chen hour, so that the young lady could sleep a little longer. It has just reached six quarters of the chen hour, and the tea service has not started yet."
Hearing this, Mo Yan felt her grudge against the two elders of the Shen family lessened a bit, and she was no longer in such a hurry. After washing, she also combed her hair into a slightly complicated bun. It is not suitable for her to be present when the bride is serving tea, but it is fine to wait outside the door.
I think Mr. Shen and Mrs. Shen already knew about Lu Zhu's appearance at the wedding hall yesterday. Even if they couldn't bear to blame, they probably already had an opinion in their hearts. If Lu Zhu didn't wink and openly appeared to bring bad luck to the bride today, they would definitely not condone her anymore.
This Lu Zhu is a little clever, but not smart, otherwise she would not be obsessed with Shen Ji, who is already married. Someone smarter would probably seize on the Shen family's guilt and love for her and strive for the best interests for themselves.
If Lu Zhu is really stupid today, this will be her chance. In any case, she was worried about her good sister living under the same roof with a person with bad intentions. Last night, she had already thought about what to do.
After making sure that there was nothing wrong with her appearance, Mo Yan, led by the maid, walked slowly to the main hall where the bride was serving tea. At this time, the tea ceremony was about to begin, and she stood on the porch at the corner without going in.
Not long after, she saw Lu Zhu, who was dressed the same as yesterday at the wedding hall, walking over. Compared to yesterday's look of a harried woman, today's Lu Zhu looked haggard, with a pair of red and swollen eyes against her fair skin. His little face stood out. Especially the weak and boneless waist, it seems that it can fall down at any time.
Mo Yan watched helplessly as Lu Zhu on the opposite side paused for a moment after walking to the door, and then staggered in. The next moment, there was a surprised exclamation in the room, and then there was the sound of Master Shen scolding his niece, asking her to avoid it.
A sneer appeared on Mo Yan's face. She walked to the door but did not walk in. The maid who brought her here was so frightened that her legs were weak, and she wanted to rush in immediately and tell her husband and wife, but she also knew in her heart that even if she did so, nothing could not be saved.
"Zhuzhu, go back to your room quickly. This is not a place for you. If you want to see your cousin, you can officially meet her in three days."
In the room, Mr. Shen scorned his niece, Lu Zhu, for the first time. He never thought that his niece, whom he loved like a daughter, would repeatedly do such unlucky things.
"Yes, Zhuzhu, listen to your uncle and go back to your room quickly!" Mrs. Shen also stood up to persuade her. From the corner of her eye, she saw that her daughter-in-law didn't look very good, but she didn't make a fuss on the spot. She felt slightly relieved and added A little guilty.
The other couples sitting in the room were Shen Ji's uncles and aunts. They had no direct relationship with Lu Zhu. Although their faces were ugly and they were filled with hatred, they saw that Shen's father and Shen's mother had already spoken, so it was difficult to say anything else.
Lu Zhu felt as if she had lost her soul, as if she had not heard her uncle and aunt's persuasion. Her eyes fell on Shen Ji with worry and resentment, but when she saw Liu Tinglan standing next to Shen Ji, her eyes filled with tears. It was as if the poison had been quenched, and besides hatred there was also deep jealousy. Uninformed people saw her and thought her husband had been snatched away by Liu Tinglan!
"Brother Ji, why, why do you want so many Zhu'er? How is she better than Zhu'er? Why did you abandon Zhu'er and marry this woman? You obviously said you would marry Zhu'er at the beginning!" Lu Zhu looked obsessed. He looked at Shen Ji, complaining resentfully, with a weak look, like a poor little white flower trembling in the cold wind.
Shen Ji's face was livid, he avoided Lu Zhu and reached out to hold his hand, and said coldly: "You are my cousin, I have always treated you as my sister, and I have never had any affection for you. Today It’s okay, let me assume that you can’t bear the shock of your aunt’s death so you are talking nonsense, so please go back!”
At this point, he shouted to the servant who was standing in the corner and was stunned: "Why don't you take your cousin down quickly?"
"No, Brother Ji, you can't do this to Zhu'er. Zhu'er likes you. Zhu'er doesn't ask for anything but to stay by your side. Even if it means being a concubine, Zhu'er is willing to keep Zhu'er. Okay?" Lu Zhu cried bitterly and tried to grab Shen Ji's sleeve, but Shen Ji avoided it again.
“What you said about marrying you was just a joke made by my aunt when she was still alive. I never took it seriously. If you continue to be stubborn, Shen... I can’t keep you anymore!”
If Shen Ji originally had sympathy and pity for this cousin who lost his mother, now that Lu Zhu had disturbed her, all his sympathy and pity were gone. He is a sensible person and knows exactly who the person he likes and the person he wants to spend his life with is.
If he doesn't speak clearly today, not only will his cousin continue to deceive himself, but the beloved he finally married will also be suspicious of him and alienate him. This is the last thing he wants to see.
Shen Ji held his wife's hand tightly, but did not dare to look at her face.
Liu Tinglan had made harsh words in her letter before, saying that if Lu Zhu's matter was not resolved, she would terminate their engagement. At that time, Shen Ji had no feelings for Lu Zhu at all, and had never thought about taking her as his second wife. He thought that he would be fine if he didn't waver. He also felt that Liu Tinglan was making a fuss out of a molehill by threatening him to break off the engagement.
Although he thought so in his heart, he was willing to indulge the woman he liked, so even though he felt it was unnecessary, he still found a way to persuade Shen's father and Shen's mother, and quickly chose a good marriage for Lu Zhu, finally appeasing his fiancée. , married someone into the house.
The scene that happened today made him have to believe that his wife was right. If he hadn't captured his wife's heart early, he was sure that his cousin's specious words would completely destroy his lifelong happiness.
“No—that’s not the case. You clearly like Pearl. You abandoned the book and comforted Pearl every day. Is this all a lie?”
Lu Zhu seemed to be unable to bear such a blow, and fell to the ground, her little face filled with despair. No matter how hard the two maids who ran over to help her down tried, they couldn't help her up.
Shen Ji closed his eyes with a gloomy look on his face. He regretted that he had paid too much attention to his cousin who had just lost her mother out of compassion. What's ridiculous is that this concern, which clearly comes from the relationship between brother and sister, has become evidence used by others to frame him.
At this time, Liu Tinglan was so angry that she was shaking all over. She couldn't explain how she felt in her heart. She just wanted to shake off the hand of the person beside her and run to a deserted place to calm down. She believed that this man liked her, but who knew whether he liked this weak and helpless cousin?
Even if she didn't, having such a man who coveted her husband hanging out under her nose made her sick just thinking about it, and she didn't want to stay here at all.
"Let go, Shen Ji, let me go!" Liu Tinglan heard her voice say this, and the anger in her tone even frightened herself.
Shen Ji's face suddenly turned livid, and when he looked at his wife who turned away from him, deep pain flashed in his eyes. The strength in his hands tightened, wanting to rub the person in front of him into bone and blood: "No, I won't let you go. I won't let you go even if I die for my husband."
Liu Tinglan took a deep breath and looked at her reflection in his eyes, feeling a dense pain in her heart. How sweet the wedding night was last night, how ironic this scene is today. She still loves this man in her heart, but she will not let anyone trample on her self-esteem.
Today, whenever she shows any signs of compromise, others will think that she is easy to bully. She was causing trouble today for no other reason than for the attitude of the Shen family. She and this crying woman on the ground are destined to be unable to live in harmony. If the Shen family continues to protect her, this place will never be her home.
This scene fell in Lu Zhu's eyes, and her teeth itched with hatred. This shameless bitch, she was the one who met Brother Ji first, and Brother Ji should be hers. If this **** hadn't interfered, she would have been the one to serve tea today.
It's shameful that Brother Ji was so fascinated by this **** that he said such things. Humph, now you are the ones sorry for me, Lu Zhu. Since I can't get what I want, no one else should be able to live with it!
Mr. Shen and Mrs. Shen didn't know that their niece, who was well-behaved and docile in their eyes, was having this kind of idea. Their expressions changed greatly as they watched. Mrs. Shen quickly walked to Liu Tinglan, took her other hand and persuaded her: "My child, the Shen family can't forgive you for this matter, but Ji'er's feelings for you are true. Yes, don’t worry, mom and your dad will give you an explanation, can you go back to your room with Ji’er first?”
Liu Tinglan shook her head slowly and looked at Lu Zhu who was staring at her with hatred on the ground without saying a word.
Mrs. Shen followed her gaze and saw that Lu Zhu looked weak, helpless and pitiful again. Anyone who looked at her would feel a little softer in their heart.
A sarcastic smile appeared on Liu Tinglan's lips, and the idea that just surged in her heart became stronger. She will never learn this kind of petty behavior in her life, and she doesn't bother to quarrel with such people all day long. She should be lucky that this woman made such a fuss today, otherwise she might be bored if someone stumbles behind her back. deficit.
She also knows that the best way to deal with this kind of woman is to ignore her and live a loving life with the man around her. However, she has never been a tolerant person. She doesn't want to see this woman appear in front of her at all. It's so disgusting!
This smile made Shen Ji's heart tighten, and his intuition told him that if this matter was not handled well today, the couple would never go back to the past. He suppressed the uneasiness in his heart and said softly: "Lan'er, you have been tired these past few days. Can you sit down and talk?"
Liu Tinglan hesitated for a moment and nodded under Shen Ji's hopeful eyes. She was really tired these past few days. The two of them were messing around late last night. If she hadn't secretly used the pills in the small gray bottle, she would have been unable to stand.
Seeing this, Shen Ji carefully helped her sit on a chair behind him. When his eyes fell on Lu Zhu again, the tenderness in his eyes disappeared in an instant.
…
Finally, at Master Shen’s insistence, Lu Zhu was sent to the Shen family’s ancestral home. The ancestral home of the Shen family is a small village under the jurisdiction of the county. At that time, Shen Ji's great-grandfather and grandmother were more accustomed to life in the village. Shen Ji's grandfather had no choice but to knock down the adobe house in the countryside and build a spacious house for his family. Parents enjoy their old age in peace.
That house is guarded by servants and repairs are done every year, so there is no problem for people to live in it. Shen Ji didn't want to see Lu Zhu again, and wanted to send him directly back to the Lu family, but Master Shen and Mrs. Shen stopped him.
After all, she is a niece who is related by blood. The two of them have been in love for so many years, and even if they make a mistake, they are reluctant to let her jump into the Lu family's fire pit. In addition, Lu Zhu had already made a promise to someone else, so the two elders couldn't just let it go.
Liu Tinglan could barely accept this result. She knew that without Lu Zhu actually hurting her, her parents-in-law could not completely stand by her as a bride, so making this arrangement was considered fair.
If she is aggressive, even if she completely squeezes Lu Zhu out of the Shen family, she will lose the favor of her parents-in-law and make them feel guilty about Lu Zhu. She will not be stupid enough to kill one thousand enemies and lose eight hundred to herself. Do it.
However, Lu Zhu was unwilling to accept this fact. In her opinion, there was nothing wrong with her liking her cousin. Even if she should not have appeared in the main hall, it was not enough to drive her to the countryside where birds did not shit, so she hugged her. She cried and begged while holding Master Shen's legs, and even mentioned her deceased mother, unwilling to leave.
This cry brought out Mr. Shen's guilt. Just when he was about to let go, Mo Yan suddenly appeared in the main hall with the Liu family's group of people sending off the bride.
Seeing Mo Yan with a cold face, the Shen family and Shen Ji's uncles and aunts suddenly felt that things could not get better...
The backstage was smoked, and I lost nearly 3,000 yuan of saved manuscripts. I really want to die~ (＞_＜)~
