Nine-fold lotus of the famous family

Chapter 348
"Go ahead!"

Little Mencius nodded, and walked back across the street slowly. This family has scriptures that are difficult to recite, and getting along with wives and concubines is an advanced knowledge, anyway, he doesn't understand it.

The guard who went in to report quickly came out after a while, walked down the steps, and said respectfully in front of the carriage: "Madam, Miss Shen said that the lord has an account for her when he leaves, and asked the driver to drive the car through the side door that divides the road." Entering the mansion, Miss Shen is waiting for his wife at the second gate!"

"Okay, it's work!"

A quiet female voice came out from the curtain of the carriage, and the guard was also a little curious, but thinking about the identity of the person in the carriage, he did not dare to raise his head, and directed the two carriages towards the side door.

The carriage drove directly to the second gate, and Cai Qiu lifted the curtain to look out. There was a group of people standing in an orderly manner in the spacious space in front of the second gate. A beautiful woman.

The carriage stopped, and immediately the clever maid stepped forward to put on the pedals, and then stepped aside respectfully.

Shen Xinyou's eyes were calm, with a faint smile on her lips. She knew about this day, but she didn't expect to arrive so early. When she saw the carriage stopped, she led a group of servants to greet her, and said in her mouth: "Welcome my wife back home!"

Caiqiu and Lin Tao got out of the carriage first, carefully helped Ji Chonglian out of the carriage, followed by Ye Jinyu and An Ye, Guiying handed the three children out one by one, and they also got out of the carriage.

Sister-in-law Liang and Liang Fen walked over quickly and stood respectfully behind Ji Chonglian.

"Get up!"

Ji Chonglian raised her hand, and then her eyes fixed on the woman in front.

The woman was wearing a chrysanthemum patterned blouse in the color of concubine Xiang with gold and thread stitching, a long lavender silk embroidered dress tied around her waist, a crescent moon bun on her head, and a magnolia flower with filigree silk inserted obliquely. Hairpin, red gold cloves and cardamom on the white and tender earlobes, her skin is fair and delicate, her facial features are not very beautiful, but she has a gentle and quiet temperament, her dress is even more elegant, she does not look like a servant girl at all, on the contrary Like a girl in the mansion who has not left the court.

"You are……"

Ji Chonglian's eyes turned to Shen Xinyou, with a faint smile.

Shen Xinyou took a step forward, but bowed gracefully, "The little girl's surname is Shen, her name is Xinyou, she was kindly taken in by Master Pei, and now she is temporarily in charge of all affairs in the mansion."

Ji Chonglian nodded. As for Shen Xinyou's origin, she would find out clearly, but now is not the time to be entangled. Thinking of this, she went on to say: "I should have made it very clear when I wrote. I don't know if Miss Shen is ready. house?"

"Yes," Shen Xinyou nodded, and slightly glanced at Ji Chonglian's pretty face, which is as bright as spring, with her eyes lowered slightly, "My lord has already explained when he left, the wife will naturally live in the main room, and the remaining two young masters can rest in the east and west rooms , as for Ye..."

Shen Xinyou's eyes turned to Ye Jinyu, with a smile on her lips, "Xinyou also prepared a garden for Miss Ye alone, it is just behind the main house, connected by a quiet path, it is very convenient for Miss Ye to go to the main house to find his wife. "

In Ji Chonglian's letter, apart from explaining about the child, she also mentioned her sister Ye Jinyu who was sworn in. She planned to keep Ye Jinyu to live with her, and Pei Yan explained everything to Shen Xinyou.

"That's work."

Ji Chonglian nodded lightly, with a decent demeanor, not only Shen Xinyou, but even the servants and maids behind her were secretly estimating, originally thought that Miss Shen could always be in this family, but now that the real wife is here, I don't know if it is People who are not on good terms, everyone is cautious in their hearts, and they also act cautiously.

Lin Tao always looked at Shen Xinyou with an expression of disbelief. Why did this unmarried girl live in a yard without a mistress? Even if she had no intention, others would suspect that she had the intention to get involved with the mistress. , this Shen Xinyou is not afraid of people's fearful words, or has he thrown aside his fame a long time ago?
Caiqiu didn't have the anger in Lin Tao's heart. She just observed Shen Xinyou's behavior carefully, and saw that she spoke well and received them politely and thoughtfully, as if she had become the master, but instead put them in the guests' place. The location, this made her slightly displeased.

An Ye had no expression on her face, holding the sword in her arms, with a cold look on her face, a few maids behind Shen Xinyou secretly glanced at her, and couldn't help but tremble in their hearts.

It's not that there are no women practicing martial arts in the northwest, but the evil spirit around An Ye doesn't seem to be fake, it can scare a group of people.

Shen Xinyou personally led Ji Chonglian and the others to the main house, and introduced the garden layout of the mansion along the way. Because Ji Chonglian prefers the southern garden style, there are many small bridges, flowing water, pavilions and pavilions in the mansion, and there is a rockery spring among the flowers and trees. , the koi and the green lotus complement each other, and Ye Jinyu couldn't help but praise the exquisite ingenuity when she saw it.

Shen Xinyou said with a smile: "My lord knows that my wife likes the style of Jiangnan, so I specially invited a garden master from Jiangnan when the mansion was being renovated. My wife saw that the asparagus over there was specially transplanted by my lord!"

Shen Xinyou pointed to the back of the rockery pool as she spoke, and there was indeed a piece of lush and secluded bamboo there. In this scorching summer, even people's hearts were refreshed a bit.

Ji Chonglian smiled lightly, and walked straight forward without saying anything.

Shen Xinyou paused, her eyes fixed on Ji Chonglian's back, but it was a little dark and difficult to understand.

She is an orphan, now she has no one to rely on, her purpose of staying in Pei's mansion is very clear, everyone knows it, why can't Pei Yan see it?

Thinking of the day when she met Pei Yan, Shen Xinyou still can't forget it.

It was the early winter of last year, and the road to the northwest was also difficult. She accompanied her father and wanted to go back to the hometown to bury her mother's ashes, but she didn't want to encounter bandits on the way. Her father was killed by a knife to save her, thinking that she could not escape being humiliated She was ready to bite her tongue and kill herself, but she didn't want Pei Yan to fall from the sky, and that stern face was deeply imprinted in her heart.

After that, she buried her father and mother's ashes and followed Pei Yan to Liangcheng. She had no relatives, and this man was her only support.

Only at this time did Shen Xinyou know that Pei Yan was already married, and his wife came from the famous Ji family in Danyang, and she was just the daughter of a shopkeeper, her status was very different from Ji Chonglian's, so she naturally didn't dare to have unreasonable thoughts .

But there is only one point, she wants to stay by Pei Yan's side, even if she has a place to settle down, but Pei Yan doesn't understand her heart, she can only pin her hope on Ji Chonglian, if the mistress is willing If she was left behind, then Pei Yan, who was born as a hero, would have nothing to say.

Sending Ji Chonglian into the main room, Shen Xinyou just wanted to step into the threshold, but was blocked by Lin Tao's hand. She looked at Shen Xinyou with a smile on the face, with a bit of contempt in her eyes, "Miss Shen, our wife I'm tired, if you have something to say, please talk to me tomorrow!"
