Colorful

Chapter 52
Not to mention what Wang Siniang's plan was, the old lady of the Shen family sent someone to bring back Shen Che who hadn't been seen for a few days.

Although the old lady Shen asked Shen Che to arrange this matter to seek justice for Shen Cui and Ji Cheng, she never thought that Shen Che would do such a great job. After all, Wang Yueniang is a little girl, and now it is too miserable.For this matter, the old lady even went to Jishi Nunnery the next day to read scriptures for Shen Che to atone for his sins.

As soon as the old lady saw Shen Che, she took a cane and beat Shen Che hard: "You said how could you be so ruthless, that little girl was ruined by you."

Shen Che took the stick from the old lady without saying a word, and then smiled and stretched out his hand to help the old lady sit down: "Did the old ancestor hurt his hand? You said you wanted to beat me, why didn't you say a word first, call Cao?" Nanny just hit me, be careful not to touch your waist."

"You just have a sweet mouth." The old lady gave Shen Che an angry look, and her expression seemed to grow smaller and smaller, "Tell me, what do you think about this?"

Shen Che said: "I'm just repaying this person in the same way as others. At the beginning, Ah Cui and Sister Cheng also escaped by themselves. If it weren't for this, it would be your old man who is heartbroken today. Wang Yueniang It's her fault if she can't escape by herself, don't think too much about it, old man."

"Sophistry, you're sophistry." The old lady said angrily, she seemed to have rejuvenated when she was in front of Shen Che, and she no longer had the majesty of old Mrs. Shen.

"Okay, okay." Shen Che admitted defeat, "I just want to get rid of Third Aunt's thoughts about the Wang family, and I'm afraid she will bring trouble to Third Uncle."

The old lady sighed: "I hope she can understand your painstaking efforts."

Shen Che said: "It doesn't matter if you don't understand, don't worry about it, you old man, just enjoy your grandchildren with peace of mind, I will watch over the third aunt, and nothing will happen."

"You should get a grandson out and let me have a look." The old lady answered smoothly, "You were so cute when you were young, you were pink, and your mouth was sweeter than anyone else. A serious person like your grandpa would put a smile on your face when he sees you." You hold it on your lap to play..."

Shen Che didn't want to hear how he was teased when he was a child, but the old man always liked to recall these things.

The old lady had just been concerned about Shen Che's marriage. The next day, the wife of the eldest son of Jing'an Hou Mansion, Wang Siniang's aunt and Wang Shu's wife, Wang Siniang's mother, visited the old lady and Princess Anhe.

Although Ji Cheng and the others are studying in the school, the people from the Wang family came here at such a sensitive time, so they couldn't help being curious.

Shen Cui is the most concerned: "What is she doing here? How come she has the face." Shen Cui raised her head and asked Shen Xian, "Third Sister, is she here to ask the crime?"

Shen Xian shook her head: "Those who come to inquire about crimes will not come with my aunt." The wife of the eldest son of Jing'an Hou Mansion is Mrs. Huang's natal sister-in-law.

"What are you talking about? What crime are you asking?" Shen Xun asked curiously. Only Shen Xian, Shen Cui, and Ji Cheng knew the inside story. Shen Xun, Su Yun and others only knew that something happened to Wang Yueniang, but they didn't I don't know about Shen Cui and Ji Cheng, so I don't know about the dispute between Shen and Wang.

Shen Yuan didn't want to pollute Shen Xun's ears with this kind of thing, Princess Anhe and Shen Che never told Shen Xun those dirty things, so Shen Yuan smiled and said: "I didn't say anything, it's just that I don't know What is Mrs. Wang doing at our house?"

Shen Xun said "Oh", and at night when Ji Cheng followed Shen Cui to the old lady's house to say hello, he saw Shen Xun winking at them very mysteriously.

After leaving the old lady's room, Shen Cui went up and hugged Shen Xun's arm and said, "Sister Xun, do you know what Mrs. Wang is here for?"

Shen Xun nodded, and several little girls surrounded her, and then Shen Xun said triumphantly: "My mother said that Mrs. Wang came to marry Wang Siniang."

Everyone was taken aback, especially Shen Xian, Ji Cheng and Shen Cui, they looked at each other, not knowing what was going on in the Wang family.

Su Yun frowned and said: "But when ordinary people talk about marriage, shouldn't they first ask someone to make peace? How could it be Mrs. Wang who came to the door in person? This is... this is too careless."

Lu Yuan also echoed, "That's right, what did the princess say? Did she agree?"

"The old ancestor said that our eldest brother is not married yet, and we have to wait for the eldest brother to get married before talking about the second brother." Shen Xun said.

A sensible person would know it was an excuse as soon as he heard it, Shen Yu was married long ago, but he just became a widower and was preparing to remarry, but Shen Che's marriage was delayed somewhere.

Su Yun's frown relaxed when he heard the words, and Lu Yuan said bluntly: "If the ancestors don't like people like Sister Si Niang, then what kind of person will the second cousin marry in the future?" ?”

Shen Xun interjected: "Second brother said that he will marry a sister-in-law that I like in the future, so I just nod." When she said this, Shen Xun was not without complacency, and even felt that Shen Che treated her coldly for Wang Liniang's sake. All relieved.

Shen Yuan smiled and glanced at Shen Xun, the second brother really loved her.

Ji Cheng didn't care about who Shen Che would marry, she was shocked by what the Wang family did.The Wang family can really bear this, the humiliation of Han Xin in the past is nothing more than that.Not to mention the loss of one girl, but also to marry another girl.

Ji Cheng couldn't understand Wang Siniang's self-confidence.In Wang Siniang's view, as long as she can marry Shen Che, she won't be afraid to hold Shen Che in her hands after getting along for a long time, and she can help him with everything he wants.Others always say that Shen Che is unrestrained and has too many peach blossoms, but Wang Siniang feels that it is a waste of a young man not to be romantic. The reason why he is romantic is just because there are too many people who like him, and they are all hooked up by those prodigal hooves.Besides, if the prodigal son turns back, it won't be exchanged for gold, and she, Wang Siniang, is the one who can make Shen Che turn back.

When Shen Xian returned to the house, she couldn't figure out why the Wang family did this, and couldn't sleep anyway, so she went to her mother's house.

"Mother, what does the Wang family mean?" Shen Xian asked Mrs. Huang curiously. She was also worried that the Wang family would not know how to retaliate, but she didn't know that things would take such a turn, so that she couldn't recover.

Mrs. Huang trimmed Shen Xian's sideburns. Because Shen Xian was going to marry as a clan wife and would have a heavy burden in the future, Mrs. Huang did not hide some things from her. She only hoped that she would know as much as possible.

"Concubine Wang Shu and Huang Zhaoyi are currently fighting fiercely in the palace. Huang Zhaoyi's uncle has just filled the vacancy of the Secretary of the Ministry of War. The Wang family does not want to fight with our family, but let the Huang family take advantage of it." Mrs. Huang said.

"But there's no need to marry Wang Siniang in." Shen Xian was still puzzled.

"Mrs. Wang came to the house today to say that what she did to Ah Cui and your Ji family cousin was all her own initiative. They didn't know anything about it beforehand. What happened now is because of their poor education. " Madam Huang said.

Mrs. Wang spoke better than she sang, she made Wang Yueniang useless, and completely dismissed Dafang, and she was afraid that Wang Yueniang would hurt Wang Siniang's reputation.She also said that she was afraid that the two families would have a bad relationship from now on, so her master was willing to marry Wang Siniang and make them his sons and daughters in-laws, thinking that it would be good forever.

Shen Yuan thought for a while, then sneered and said: "It's really nice to say, if it's true, why didn't the people of the Wang family shake out Wang Yueniang when the accident happened to A Cui and the others, and now they are here to make an afterthought, when we are Fool?"

Mrs. Huang said: "They didn't treat us as fools, but they always have to put a layer of paper on our face, so that everyone can get along. They are testing our family's attitude, to see if we are willing to side with Concubine Wang Shu I can't bear the fact that the child can't catch the wolf. Only when Concubine Wang Shu goes up can the Wang family be better. That old fox Wang Shu is cunning, there is nothing he can't bear."

Shen Yuan was speechless, she used to look up to Wang Siniang, after all she was still a character, but now seeing the Wang family acting so shamelessly and without character, she immediately felt that Wang Siniang from such a family was nothing more than mediocre.

Although Ji Cheng didn't hear Mrs. Huang's analysis, she had guessed in her heart why the Wang family came to marry her, and she couldn't help sighing, these old oily people in the officialdom can do anything shameless come out.Ji Cheng believed that the flatterers such as the shit-eating censors mentioned in the history books were not fabricated by historians.

The Wang family was relentless when it came to selling their daughter. Ji Cheng couldn't help but think of Yunniang again. After all, her mother had to give in because of her brother, and her father would rather give up half of the family wealth to keep her. My family relationship is more than a thousand times better.

After looking at the Wang family, looking back at the Shen family, Ji Cheng really liked the Shen family a little bit. The old lady is kind and kind-hearted, and the sons are raised well. Looking at the younger generation, Shen Yu and Shen Jing are both It's very good, even Shen Che and Ji Cheng are supposed to be a smiling tiger.Shen Cui was very lucky to be born in such a family, but she had misunderstood Shen's residence before.Ji Cheng also thought of Shen Xian and Shen Xun, they are all excellent girls, no wonder when those wives choose their daughter-in-law, they like to choose such a well-bred family.

Thinking of Ji Lan and himself, Ji Cheng couldn't help but let out a long sigh.

Liu Ye'er heard Ji Cheng sigh, afraid that her thoughts would hurt her body too much: "Miss, look at the moon today is really round, and tomorrow will be the Mid-Autumn Festival. I hope the heavens will be beautiful, so that we can have such a round moon tomorrow." moon."

Ji Cheng secretly rolled his eyes, Liu Ye'er's way of diverting attention was really embarrassingly poor: "Don't worry, tomorrow will definitely be a fine weather."

"Miss, can you even understand the sky?" Liu Ye'er asked.

"Mr. Lian taught me a little bit before." Ji Cheng said, not to mention the moon is so white and so bright, wouldn't it be a good day tomorrow?Liu Ye'er's flattery is too substandard.

Every festival is the happiest day for the girls in the capital. Just after breakfast, Shen Xian and Shen Xun came together to look for Ji Cheng and the others. It was an appointment to go to Yuelao Temple to pay homage to Yuelao.

The Yuelao Temple by the Yingshui River in the capital is famous for its healing powers. Ji Cheng heard about it when she was still in Jindi. Meeting Shen Ying made a good story.

Although Ji Lan's life in the Shen Mansion was not very satisfactory for herself, but people outside only felt envious of her. The story between her and Mr. Shen really caused many girls to have delusional thoughts.

The Yuelao Temple by the Yingshui River is really not grand, and it takes less than half a cup of tea to walk around, but its popularity is unmatched by other temples in Beijing.

The small street in front of Yuelao Temple is as lively as a temple fair every day, with peddlers lined up, selling loudly, mostly selling incense wax, paper money, concentric locks, and votive cakes.

When Ji Cheng and the others entered the Yuelao Temple, there were naturally family members who opened the way to protect the way, because something happened to Shen Cui last time, Wang Yueniang has also committed crimes now, the Shen family is afraid of revenge from the Wang family, and now the girls of the Shen family are surrounded by Many followers.

There was only one statue of Yuelao in that Yuelao temple, and beside the beaming, round-faced Yuelao in red clothes stood a pair of golden boy and jade girl, holding the red thread that everyone wanted.

But don't underestimate this round-faced Yuelao, because it is so effective that the Yuelao was stolen 20 years ago. I was alarmed, and said that the Ministry of Industry would pay for another statue of the old moon, but the common people did not agree.

Later, I don't know who is so powerful, and after half a year, I found the round-faced Yuelao again. After losing it once, the reputation of Yingshuiyue Lao Temple has grown a lot.

Ji Cheng saw the votive wedding cakes piled up like a hill in front of the Yue Laoxiang, and wondered in his heart, is it really so spiritual?

After offering incense to Yuelao and kowtowing three times, the bell-ringing Miaozhu got up and took out a few strands of red thread from the hand of the golden boy and jade girl, and distributed one to each of Shen Xian, Shen Xun, and Ji Cheng, The red thread offered on the statue is not available to ordinary people.

After getting the red thread, Ji Cheng followed Shen Xian and the others around to the back of the temple, only to see a camphor tree with two people hugging each other standing in the middle of the courtyard, with red silk threads hanging densely on it, and there was a piece of pilgrim who came to pay respects to the old moon. Strand after strand of love.

Facing the sacred tree, Ji Cheng clasped his hands together, and the red thread was held between his palms. He sincerely made a wish in his heart, and then handed the red thread to Yu Qianer, who was guarding at the side, and asked her to go up and tie it for himself.

The rest corridor next to the sacred tree was full of people, many of whom Ji Cheng knew or had seen.Qi Hua, who was rescued by her when she fell into the water, was also there, and she was talking to the girl beside her with her head down. The people around her, even Li Hui, were in it. Ji Cheng was a little puzzled, she remembered that Li Hui was the most Disdain to talk to Qi Hua.

Seeing the commotion, Shen Cui took Ji Cheng's hand and walked over there. When he got close to Ji Cheng, he heard that Qi Hua was making up arrangements for Wang Yueniang.I don't know where she got the news, but she actually knew about Wang Yueniang's disappearance and humiliation, listening to her embellish the story there, as if she had seen it with her own eyes, and said that the one who opened the buds for Wang Yueniang was a fat man from an oil factory Fatty with big ears, the shop is in Sanyuan Lane in the south of the city.

After hearing this, one of them recited "Amitabha Buddha" and the other recited "Cao Sin". Even so, they all had smiles at the corners of their mouths when they heard it, obviously saying in their hearts, "Wang Yueniang also has today."

Qi Hua's story was told in an orderly manner with cadence and rhythm, which attracted everyone's attention, so when the sound of "What are you talking about, it's so lively, let me listen to it" sounded above their heads, it was no less than a thunderstorm from the sky.

Especially Qi Hua, his face was red at that time, and when he looked up to see Wang Siniang, his face turned pale again and again.And who is the person standing beside Wang Siniang if not Wang Yueniang?
Wang Yueniang stood beside Wang Siniang with a blank expression. She didn't respond to what Qi Hua and the others said just now, but no matter how calm she pretended to be, it was useless. Such an abnormal reaction of "expression" had already been exposed.

Wang Siniang stared at Qi Hua and said, "What did Miss Qi say just now? Are you talking about storytelling? It's so lively that you even know what clothes people are wearing. You speak as if you witnessed it with your own eyes."

Qi Hua's guts only dared to speak small things behind others' backs, and seeing Wang Siniang's menacing approach now, he had long been timid: "I..."

"Why did Miss Qi create such disgusting rumors? Aren't you afraid of tongue-pull hell? My sister Yue Niang is standing here so alive, you should continue to make up!" Wang Siniang wore a red dress today, radiant and dazzling. , just standing can make people feel ashamed, not to mention that she is still aggressive at the moment, Qi Hua couldn't help being frightened and took a small step back, hiding his face and wanting to leave.

Wang Siniang's tone changed slightly: "Miss Qi, even if my mother didn't agree to your marriage with my second brother, you don't need to fabricate lies to ruin Yue Niang's reputation, right?"

Wang Siniang stopped looking at Qi Hua after saying that, and turned to look around. The other girls were so overwhelmed by her aura that they didn't dare to make a sound, and some weak-tempered ones didn't even dare to raise their heads, such as Han Lingze.

It was only after a while that Wang Siniang continued: "Take a step back, we are all daughters' family, even if what Miss Qi said is true, that young lady is already pitiful enough, what is she guilty of, she suffered from that It is such a misfortune that the person who was hacked into pieces should be the one who did the harm, but you still follow the bad guys to accuse the lady, but it shouldn’t be like this if you have a little compassion. If the person who happened that happened is yours Sisters, or yourselves, what do you think?"

Wang Siniang's words made everyone speechless, seeing that she had shocked everyone, Wang Siniang said again: "So, everyone should keep some morals, if you don't accumulate blessings, you will be born in the next month." It is useless to pray to the gods in the old temple!" These words were really resounding.

Han Ling slightly raised his eyes to look at Wang Siniang, and said in a low voice, "Sister Siniang is saying that we are too narrow-minded." But she is a person who has the courage to admit her mistakes.

Qi Hua had already slipped aside shamelessly and hurried out of the Yuelao Temple, but Shen Xian and the others naturally disdain to be with Qi Hua. can be heard outside.

Shen Xun said to Su Yun who was beside him: "Sister Si Niang is really good. Even if Yue Niang committed a crime, we shouldn't despise her. She is also a poor person."

As soon as Shen Cui heard Shen Xun's words, she wanted to argue, but Ji Cheng pulled her sleeves, and swallowed back the words that came to her lips.
