Daughter of General

Chapter 140 The Mysterious Sender

"Madam, do you have something to tell me?" Shen Yulan looked at Shuangpei and raised her eyebrows with a strange expression.

Shuangpei was also a little uncomfortable, but still bit the bullet and said: "Yes, madam, please go over and talk."

Shen Yulan thought for a while, then got up: "Then let's go."

Shuang Pei hurriedly followed behind.All the way to Guo's yard.

Mrs. Guo was lying on the soft couch, looking a bit sleepy. When she heard the girl report that Shen Yulan was here, she didn't move, so she responded and turned around.His complexion... doesn't look so bad.

Shen Yulan saluted without looking sideways, and then asked straight to the point: "My wife asked me to come, what's the matter?"

Mrs. Guo narrowed her eyes slightly, and said in a cold tone, "You know about the draft, right? If you don't find someone else, you're probably going to enter the palace. Are you really going to enter the palace?"

Shen Yulan raised her eyebrows slightly: "Then what do you mean, are you afraid that I will hurt Shen Yushan?"

"Yushan has a partner. If that time really comes, you can just skip me and marry her off." Shen Yulan sneered: "Don't worry, she won't be implicated. Even if it really will be implicated--by my Why sacrifice myself for her? Marriage is a lifetime thing."

"You—" Guo raised her voice a little angrily, and then suppressed it: "Even if you don't think about your sister, you should think about the Shen family. Just skipping you is not only bad for you, but also bad for you." Yushan's reputation, saying that there is no seniority in our Shen family. Besides, if you really enter the palace, what kind of day will it be? Do you really want to enter the palace?"

"What's so bad about entering the palace?" Shen Yulan grinned brilliantly, "I can't say that I entered the palace. With the power of our Shen family, let alone one person under ten thousand, it's okay to be a concubine. That's right. If you marry the prince, maybe you can bring blessings to our Shen family in the future. Why, madam, don't you think so? In fact, if Yushan is not engaged, we can definitely try this. Madam, what do you think? Miss Yushan, but she looks much better than me."

Guo only felt that Shen Yulan's bright smile was more terrifying than the devil's smile.

Shen Yulan is still smiling brightly at me.

Guo's face darkened: "No matter what, your marriage should be settled as soon as possible."

"Madam, are you threatening me?" Shen Yulan's smile did not change, but her eyes gradually became cruel: "But I am a person who prefers to be soft rather than hard."

"What on earth are you thinking?" Mrs. Guo suppressed her anger—for Shen Yushan, she had to endure even if she couldn't bear it.

"I don't want to think about it, but I don't like the condescending tone of my wife." Shen Yulan smiled coldly: "In the future, if my wife just talks to me about these boring topics, then there is no need. However, if you want to tell me , How did you pay for murder back then, I would be very happy."

Guo's complexion changed slightly, but he pretended to be calm: "I don't understand what you said about paying for murder."

However, Shen Yulan had already got up and walked out of the room, and finally turned her head with a smile: "If my wife really wants me to get married as soon as possible, you might as well find a few good people for me. Otherwise, if I can't get married, I will be troubled. Yushan, that's not my fault."

Guo was taken aback for a moment—and then became even more angry.But there was nothing she could do: for Shen Yulan, she really had no way to deal with it.

And the matter of the draft was quickly spread among the princes and nobles in private—as for why it was in private, it is naturally difficult to say clearly, after all, the imperial court has not yet clearly announced the news.If this is the case, it is a bit against the court: no one with real power will send their daughters to the palace.In that place, if one is not good, the whole family might be involved.On the contrary, it is better to marry other princes and nobles, and the effect will be greater.

After all, there are not many prostitutes in any family.Concubine daughters are different from concubine daughters, they must have spent a lot of effort in cultivating them, if they are not guaranteed to gain a noble status, or have some great benefits, or if there is no other choice, who would send their daughters to the palace?

It is Shen Junzhi now - if one of the two daughters can marry the royal family, the position of the Shen family will naturally be more stable in the future, but... Shen Junzhi's first reaction is also unwilling.

Now that the news of the draft has spread, the princes and ministers in the court suddenly became busy—what are they busy with?Busy attending the engagement banquet, busy looking for the husband-in-law.

Even Shen Junzhi became busy - he planned to take advantage of the banquets to see if there was any suitable candidate.

After Shen Yulan knew this, she naturally appreciated it very much.But at the same time, they all heaved a sigh of relief - she was not alone, so she no longer felt embarrassed and ashamed.

And the only thing that causes headaches - the pressure suddenly becomes greater.Because the competition has also increased.

Shen Yulan was completely embarrassed when she learned that several candidates who she had planned to observe were quickly poached away—no matter when it was, getting married was not an easy task.

Just when Shen Yulan had a severe headache, someone suddenly sent a letter.She was invited to the banquet.The person who sent the letter did not sign it.

Shen Yulan showed it to Jin He, and Jin He naturally had no clue: "Then are you going to the appointment?"

Shen Yulan thought for a while: "It depends on the situation. If you have time, it's okay to go and have fun. Will you go with me?"

Jin He took it for granted: "It's natural. How can you not go? If you are kidnapped, what should you do?"

Shen Yulan laughed: "How is it possible? Who dares to abduct me, but I don't want to live anymore."

Jin He also laughed, but then frowned again: "I don't know who it is. Looking at this paper, I'm afraid it's not an ordinary person."

Shen Yulan nodded, yes, that is indeed the case.The paper used to write posts is not ordinary paper.The paper is the best jade-block paper, with gold leaf printed on it, so even princes and nobles can use very little of it—it’s not that they can’t afford it.It's that there is only so much supply, and the outside world will not sell it at all.Now the sporadic ones sold outside are all from the palace.So, very limited.

In fact, when Shen Yulan received the letter, the first thing Shen Yulan thought of was, could it be Chang Yu?But after reading u, she believed that it wasn't Chang Yu - she could recognize Chang Yu's handwriting.Moreover, Chang Yu would not use such paper.

Said disappointed, my heart is still a little disappointed.However, she also breathed a sigh of relief - she didn't know how to face Chang Yu at all.The feeling of guilt in her heart made her unable to muster the courage at all.

Being so busy, Shen Yulan naturally didn't have time to distract herself from being lost for too long, so she recovered quickly.And the time passed so quickly——

Shen Yulan didn't plan to go to the banquet originally.However, who would have thought that the day would be very leisurely - and Jin He was curious, so in the end he just packed up and left.Naturally, Jin He followed.

Fortunately, the place where the banquet was held was not a remote place, it was just a restaurant in the downtown area—of course, it was not just a place to drink when it was called a restaurant.That restaurant is actually the property of Madam Guangwuhou.It is said that the predecessor was an abandoned house.It's very delicate and beautiful, but it was abandoned because the former principal offender did something wrong.Then Mrs. Guangwuhou bought it and divided it into several areas, which were specially used to entertain dignitaries.Because the garden is large and the scenery is good, many people who like arty style like this kind of place.

Shen Yulan has been there a few times, and she has a deep understanding of it—the people who come in and out are all people with status.

Having a banquet in such a place, she can be more sure that the other party is not an ordinary person.

After finding the place according to the address left on the letter, Shen Yulan glanced at Jin He: "Do you really want to go in for the appointment?"

Jin He also hesitated, but quickly made up his mind: "Since everyone is here, why don't you go in? Just see who is so mysterious."

Now that he said that, Shen Yulan naturally didn't hesitate anymore, and after turning his head to whisper a few words to the girl in the restaurant, he dragged Jin He in.Naturally, Huoxiang with Lotus Core and Angelica dahurica Zangxue followed behind.

It's strange to say that there are also two maids guarding the yard—Shen Yulan couldn't help being curious: Could it be that the other party is also a woman?

The other party was obviously well prepared. Seeing Shen Yulan and Jin He, the two maids guarding outside the house immediately came up to greet her—"Miss Shen, our master has been waiting for you for a long time. Please come in."

The two girls are not bad looking, and they seem to be well-trained, so they should also be trained in the big family.

Shen Yulan nodded slightly, and after regaining her composure, she entered the room with Jin He.

After entering the room, I saw a person sitting with his back facing the door—but judging from his back and attire, it was not a woman, but a man.

Shen Yulan frowned slightly, but kept walking.On the contrary, Jin He hesitated slightly——

In fact, from Shen Yulan's point of view, since he has already come, even if the other party is a man, there is no need to withdraw immediately.Anyway, you should always ask what the other party's intentions are, right?Otherwise, wouldn't it be a waste of time?
Perhaps hearing the movement at the door, the other party turned his head.At this moment, Shen Yulan was shocked for a while—"It's you?"

Jin He was also taken aback: "Young Master Gu?"

Gu Meng smiled brightly: "It's me. Why is it so unexpected?"

Shen Yulan frowned, not concealing her suspicion: "What do you want to do?" She didn't think that Gu Meng invited her here to catch up with her.Based on what happened when I was a child, it is good if people don't retaliate.

Jin He immediately tugged Shen Yulan, and said in a low voice: "It's too rude."

Shen Yulan thought to herself: What kind of impolite are you going to say to him?But on the surface, he still gave me Jin He face and relaxed his attitude.

Gu Meng didn't seem to notice the change in Shen Yulan, and only called them to sit down.He poured the tea himself.

After sitting down, Shen Yulan was still straight to the point, refusing to say a word: "You asked us to come, what's the matter?"
