After Gao married the prince, the sick and weak concubine lost her horse

Chapter 8
"Second aunt."

Shen Qingci only took two steps before he felt top-heavy.

She let out a sigh of relief, and said with apology on her face: "I was confused before, and I stained Second Aunt's clothes, and I feel really sorry."

As she said that, she turned her head to look at Mrs. Zhou: "Mother, just now you said that you wanted to cut some clothes for me, so I thought about getting a set from here, as an apology to my second aunt."

Not only the Zhou family, but even the Li family did not expect Shen Qingci to do this.

Li Shi is a person who loves to take advantage of loopholes and is greedy for cheap, so of course he will not refuse such a good thing that comes to his door.

What's more, thinking of the clothes that Shen Qingci stained today made her feel terrible.

But Mrs. Zhou always looked down on her being so petty, so before she was happy to agree, she declined, "Your second aunt is not such a petty person."

The smile on Li's face froze.

Fortunately, Shen Qingci insisted: "Second Aunt doesn't care about it, but I always feel sorry for it."

"Mother, I'll feel better in a few days, let my second aunt accompany me to Qizhenfang to make a suit of clothes."

As soon as the words fell, Li's eyes lit up.

Qizhenfang's clothes are the best in Beijing, and of course, the price is not cheap.

Although the Shen family is considered wealthy, it is not so rich that any set comes from Qizhenfang.

It would be great to have an extra set of clothes to support the scene.

This time, before Mrs. Zhou could speak, Mrs. Li had already smiled and said: "Sister-in-law, it's hard to worry about this child, since that's the case, I agreed, and it will save her from worrying about it all day, fearing that she will have another heart attack. "

Zhou's breath was blocked in his heart.

She originally wanted to invite a random tailor into the mansion to tailor clothes for Shen Qingci, just like the other girls in the mansion.

Unexpectedly, Shen Qingci took the initiative to mention Qizhenfang first.

This made it difficult for her to speak.

However, after thinking about it, it was more expensive, but Shen Qingci suffered a lot outside these years, and the Shen family should have compensated her.

What's more, now that she is the third princess-to-be, she should dress better.

Mrs. Zhou has no objection to making clothes for Shen Qingci.

But Li Shi is too shameless.

Not to mention taking advantage, but also a few words about Shen Qingci's illness of yin and yang.

Mrs. Zhou moved her lips, wanting to say something, but the good old Mrs. Liu hurriedly stepped forward to smooth things over, and reminded Mrs. Zhou not to favor one person over another. After all, apart from Shen Qingci, there are still a few girls in the mansion.

In the end, after a few rounds of circling, they ended up making some sets of Qizhenfang clothes for Shen Qingci, and by the way, a set for each of the other girls in the mansion.

Of course, Li's share is still there.

Shen Qingci was not surprised by this result.

She didn't intend for a few sets of clothes.

She just wanted to leave the house.

Ordinary tailor shops can have the master come to the house to measure the size for a little money.

Only Qizhenfang, no matter what high-ranking official you are, you are treated equally, you have to go in person.

As long as you can get out of the house, you have a chance.

What's more, Qizhenfang is just an alley away from Yong'anbo Mansion.

Of course, she couldn't figure out what step Zhou Shi could do, so she deliberately brought Li Shi in.

If there is something sweet, of course Mrs. Li will help her.

Coupled with Liu's support, the goal can always be achieved.

It's just that Shen Qingci didn't expect Zhou's to be so generous, she agreed as soon as she opened her mouth, without wasting any words.

***
Shen Qingci was raised in the yard for three days.

After taking two sets of medicine from Dr. Zhao, her strength recovered a bit, and she could barely walk a few more steps, but she still felt chest tightness and shortness of breath.

It was supposed to rest and recuperate for a few more days, but she was worried about Yong'anbo mansion.

In addition, Mrs. Li sent someone to urge her several times, so Shen Qingci sent someone to answer Mrs. Zhou.

Early this morning, she and Li Shi took several other girls in the house and went out in a carriage together.

All the gentlemen in the mansion are in the Imperial Academy, and only Xiu Mu will come back.

Since Shen Qing resigned and returned to the mansion, he has not met anyone so far, so it can be said.

But it was the first time Shen Qingci saw these girls who obviously lived in the mansion.

No matter Shen Qingwan from the Zhou family, Shen Qinglan from the Li family, or even Shen Qingxin from the Liu family, they never took the initiative to visit Shen Qingci once.

These few people seemed to have made an agreement and pushed Shen Qingci out.

Especially Shen Qingwan, who was a compatriot with her mother, looked at her with obvious hostility.

Shen Qingci didn't care.

It is best to be able to live in peace without violating the river water.

If they dare to make trouble, she is not a soft persimmon.

Along the way, everything was safe and sound.

When they arrived at Qizhenfang, the girls were dazzled by the dazzling array of silk and satin and new ready-to-wear, and even Mrs. Li was attracted.

Taking advantage of this moment, Shen Qingci took Chunya and slipped out from the back door of Qizhenfang.

Through that alley, the opposite is Yong'anbo Mansion.

Just looking at it from a distance, Shen Qingci's eyes were already red.

In the tea shed on the side of the street, there were a few passers-by who were drinking big bowls of tea and chatting about gossip.

When going out, Shen Qingci wore a veiled hat, covering his face and even most of his body.

Most of the noble ladies in Beijing wore such attire when traveling, so her appearance did not attract attention.

She kept Chunya on guard at the back door, paying attention to the movement inside Qizhenfang.

He went to the tea shed and found a place to sit down. When the boss was serving tea, Shen Qingci asked inadvertently: "Boss, we just came back from another place. We just came all the way. Don't know what happened."

The owner of the teahouse is surnamed Hu, and Shen Qingci has known him since childhood.

Boss Hu is the most warm-hearted, and has a mouth that is more capable of gossiping than a woman in the back house.

As soon as Shen Qingci asked about Uncle Yong's residence, Boss Hu shook the teapot in his hand, the polite smile on his face froze, and a bit of regret suddenly appeared in his eyes.

But that gossiping mouth was not idle.

"This Yong'anbo mansion, you are asking the right person."

"Recently, their Jiang family is known to everyone in Beijing."

Seeing that he was going to beat around the bush, Shen Qingci took out a piece of broken silver and handed it over.

Boss Hu immediately said concisely: "Something happened to their family."

"Didn't it happen that Miss Jiang's family had an accident a few days ago? That's why Dali Temple was alarmed for a thorough investigation."

"It's only after the funeral has been done that the great joy has fallen on their heads—"

Speaking of this, Boss Hu habitually dragged his voice out, trying to make a fool of himself.

Shen Qingci couldn't help but roll his eyes.

However, through the curtain, her eyes were not lethal.

On the other hand, the chattering man couldn't see it, and took the lead and said: "You don't know this, it really just came back from outside."

"The sage bestowed a marriage on the second daughter of the Jiang family and the second prince."

As soon as the words fell, Shen Qingci's heart skipped a beat.
