Chapter 133 The Last Betrothed Person
To the southwest, Qiyun Mountain.
Qiyun Mountain is the last most important natural barrier in the Southwest. If this mountain is breached, the entire Southwest will fall into the hands of Waci.
Qiyun Mountain is not a mountain, but consists of several mountains that stretch for hundreds of miles. The mountains are steep and precipitous, reaching straight into the sky. It is simply impossible to climb the mountains with bare hands.
At first glance, the mountains look like a whole, but if you take a closer look, you will find a crack that seems to be split by a sword on the left third of Qiyun Mountain.
That was the only way to enter Qiyun Mountain: a rugged path less than one meter wide.
The [-] remnants of the Li family army led by Old General Li entered through this trail and hid behind Qiyun Mountain.
Qiyun Mountain is easy to defend but difficult to attack. The 25 Wacha army led by General Wacha Bechiha could not attack for a long time, so they simply stationed at the foot of Qiyun Mountain.
The food in the mountains is limited, and the Wacha Army intends to force General Li and the [-] remnants of the Li family army to death in the mountains without a single soldier.
"Vice General Wang, how long can the army last with food?" In the big tent, Li Zhong, an old general in armor and full of silver hair, sat on the commander's seat and asked the deputy general Wang Pinggui who was standing beside him.
In the past few months since Wacha's sudden attack, Li Zhong has not had a good night's sleep, his face is tired and old, with a look of gray and defeated, but his facial features can still be seen as handsome as when he was young.
Li Yu's exquisite skin is inherited from this face.
"Go back to the old general, up to seven days!" Wang Pinggui's hoarse voice was clearly desperate.
At the beginning, they were forced to rush up the mountain, and the food and grass did not have time to be transported in. Therefore, they were trapped in Qiyun Mountain for nearly a month. Everything that could be picked and dug nearby, as long as they could be eaten, all entered the stomachs of [-] Li Jiajun.
Li Zhong said in a deep voice, "Is there any news about the imperial reinforcements?"
Wang Pinggui said: "General Wacha Bechiha has set up a net at the foot of the mountain, and the soldiers who sent out to inquire about the news have not returned for a long time. I'm afraid it's..." The ominous is more than good, so whether the imperial court sent anyone or not? How many reinforcements were sent, no one knows.
Li Zhong lowered his eyelids and did not speak, the tent suddenly fell into a deathly silence.
Wang Pinggui couldn't help but said: "Old General, the food is running out, and there has been no news of reinforcements for a long time. The officers and soldiers in the army are impetuous. Fighting incidents have continued to occur in the past few days! If this continues, the Wacha army did not come in. We The army has collapsed internally!"
Why doesn't Li Zhong know?If he had had a way back then, he would not have brought people into Qiyun Mountain, sat on the mountain, and waited desperately for death.
"Report!" A loud voice sounded from outside the door.
"Come in quickly." Both Li Zhong and Wang Pinggui were shocked.
At this time, any news is good news for them!
The soldier said: "Report to Old General Li, and the spies reported that the imperial reinforcements have arrived in the southwest, and they will reach Qiyun Mountain twenty miles away in at most three days!"
Li Zhong was overjoyed, "Submit a letter!"
The soldier handed over a bloody letter. It seemed that the spy who first found out about the reinforcements had already died, or the news was sent back only after the sacrifice of several spies in the army.
Li Zhong ignored the grief in his heart and hurriedly opened the letter.
After a few breaths, he held the letter tightly in one hand, laughed endlessly, his expression was excited, his eyes were burning, he waved his big hand, and the aura cultivated by the veteran general on the battlefield for many years burst out at that moment, "Deputy General Wang, send the order down!" : The emperor named Xiao Yichen, the prince of the Duke of Zhen, as the General of the Western Expedition, and led 20 reinforcements to the Western Expedition. In three days, he will reach Qiyun Mountain [-] miles away. Please get ready and cooperate with General Xiao at that time , kill the Wacha army without leaving a piece of armor!"
Wang Pinggui was overjoyed, "It was Xiao Shizi who was sent by the emperor?"
The Xiao family has been in the army for several generations, all of them have outstanding military exploits and have a high prestige in the army. Xiao Yichen retired from Beidi at the age of ten, went to the battlefield at thirteen, became famous in the first battle at sixteen, defeated the Ula army, and dared not invade Tianwu Dongyuan for three years On the border, if the Li family army knew that the reinforcement general was Xiao Yichen, their morale would be greatly boosted!
"Understood, old general, I will pass this on!" Wang Pinggui said loudly.
After Wang Pinggui left, Li Zhong, who had just been heroic and vigorous, lost his look on his face, lost all his momentum, and fell down on the grand master's chair dejectedly.
How can there be an army of 20?Only eighty thousand!Eighty thousand!
But in the current situation, he can't tell the truth, he has to say this, first stabilize the [-] Li family remnants in this mountain!
Wacha has a total of 25 troops stationed at the foot of Qiyun Mountain. The main camp, which is hundreds of miles away, has been captured by the Wacha army in Taizhong, and there are 15 reinforcements waiting to leave at any time!
If there is an army of 20, whether it is to raid Taizhong, the main camp of Wacha, to force the 25 Wacha army at the foot of Qiyun Mountain to leave the mountain, or to attack the 25 Wacha army first, there will be a great chance of winning in the end. It can solve the crisis in the southwest!
Li Zhong has been in the army for more than 40 years, and he is very clear about the strength of the imperial court. Knowing that the imperial reserve army is only 20, he put forward the minimum requirement of 20. Unexpectedly, in the end, the imperial court only sent [-] reinforcements!
Eighty thousand, whether it is against the 25 tile army at the foot of Qiyun Mountain or the 15 tile army in Taizhong, do you want to win?
Difficult, difficult, difficult!
Even if they barely win a game, once the opposing armies join together to launch a crazy counterattack, the [-] Li Family Army and the [-] Zhengxi Army will surely die!
Li Zhong thought about it, and his thoughts were ups and downs. No matter how you look at it, the [-] troops who conquered the west seem to be here to die!
Li Zhong sighed, Li Zhong was almost sixty years old, he was a person who put half of his foot in the coffin, spent half his life fighting in the battlefield, and dying on the battlefield is his best destination, there is no pity!
It's just a pity for the Duke of Zhenguo's mansion, it's a pity for Xiao Yichen!Originally, the future is boundless, but this Qiyun Mountain is about to be buried for a long time, what a pity, what a pity!
-
In the three days before Shen Qingzhu visited the Ankangbo mansion again, the Ankangbo mansion was full of excitement and excitement.
After Lu Xinwan heard Lu Xinyan's words that day, she immediately went to find Xiao Gao, because Gao agreed to give Lu Xinwan to Shen Qingzhu. Ah~"
"Aniang, I have a way not to marry into the Shen family, and not to offend the Shen family!" Lu Xinwan said with a smile on her face.
"What way?" Xiao Gao hurriedly wiped away her tears, her eyes expectant.
Lu Xinwan said: "Let the third sister marry in for me!"
Xiao Gao took a deep breath, "But Mr. Shen pointed out that the object of marriage proposal is the Second Miss Lu of the Uncle Ankang Mansion..."
Lu Xinwan said nonchalantly: "Aniang adopted the third sister, and changed the age of me and her so that she will be the second young lady and I will be the third young lady. Anyway, the third younger sister is not bad in appearance, as long as Mr. Shen doesn't see her I, without comparison, Mr. Shen will definitely accept Third Sister."
Xiao Gao patted her thigh and said happily, "Wan'er is right! A Niang, go tell your grandmother!"
After Lu Xinhan ran after Lu Xinwan for a while, knowing that it was useless to catch up, she turned around and went to her aunt Liu Auntie's yard.
Aunt Liu also counted on Lu Xinhan to say that she has a good family, so that she can rely on her in the future, but she didn't know that such a disaster would come.
Without further ado, she took Lu Xinhan to the Ankang Hospital and cried to Mrs. Gao.
"Old lady, I am a slave, how do you arrange my concubine, I have no complaints, but the third lady is the master's own flesh and blood, your own granddaughter, you must protect her!" Liu The aunt cried and said.
Mrs. Gao couldn't figure it out. Seeing Aunt Liu's snot and tears, she had no manners, and she was always the one sent out by her side, and scolded: "Speak in a proper manner! How is it proper to behave like this now?"
"Yes, old lady!" Aunt Liu obediently wiped away the tears on her face, stood aside with her head bowed, and said sadly: "Just now Miss San said goodbye to my concubine, saying that she will marry into Shen's family as the eldest wife Now, I feel strange in my heart, why did I never hear the old lady mention such a big matter, and the second lady didn't even mention marriage, so where is it the third lady's turn? After the concubine kept asking, the third lady finally told the truth It turns out that Mr. Shen proposed marriage to the second lady, but the second lady didn't want to, so she wanted the third lady to marry her in place of her. However, the person who proposed to marry her was the second lady who was born in Ankangbo's mansion, and asked the third lady to marry him. This is not an obvious deception ? When the time comes, the in-laws will become enemies, and the Shen family will be powerful. If he gets angry, our Ankang Mansion will be in trouble..."
"Nonsense! Who said that Xinhan should marry Xinwan instead?" Gao clapped the armrest with anger on his face, "Where did you hear such nonsensical words?"
Aunt Liu sobbed pitifully: "It was the second lady who told the third lady that she wanted my wife to adopt the third lady, so that the third lady would become the second lady and marry instead of the second lady, but old lady, think about it, the second lady It's not that Miss San has never shown her face outside, so many ladies know who is Miss Second and Miss San in our Ankang Mansion, can this method of forcibly changing the age be deceived?"
When Mrs. Gao was about to say that she didn't know about it, and what she didn't know didn't count, Mrs. Gao and Lu Xinwan rushed in in a hurry.
Xiao Gao glanced at her former ally and current enemy, Aunt Liu, who was standing aside, and thought with disdain: This bitch came quickly.
"Auntie, my niece has good news to tell you!" Xiao Gao pretended to be happy and said, even if Gao knew, Xiao Gao still had to say it again.
"What good news?" Mrs. Gao had already guessed, but she still wanted to ask in a mysterious way.
Xiao Gao pretended she didn't know, with a bright smile on her face, "Auntie, niece came up with a good idea to prevent Xinwan from getting married and not offend the Shen family!"
"But let Xinhan marry in place of Xinwan?" Gao Shi didn't bother to pretend to her, and asked directly.
"Auntie, why do you want to be with your niece?" Xiao Gao blinked in surprise, then smiled and said: "Auntie, Xinwan is not only your direct granddaughter, but also your direct grandniece, if we can keep her happy , and get the help of the Shen family, why not do it?"
She deliberately bit down on the words "granddaughter" and "grandniece" to tell Mrs. Gao and Aunt Liu that they are both young ladies of the Lu family in the Uncle Ankang Mansion, and that Lu Xinhan's weight is much worse than Lu Xinwan's!
Aunt Liu's complexion changed, and she clasped her hands tightly under the armhole, but she knew Gao's temper well, so she didn't dare to speak casually, so she had to wait.
Gao raised her eyelids, "Ah Ning, Xinwan and Xinhan have both shown their faces outside, how can we deceive them? When the Shen family blames them, our Ankang House cannot afford to offend them!"
Xiao Gao smiled and said: "Auntie, the Shen family is willing to marry our Uncle Ankang's Mansion, which means that the Shen family likes our Uncle Ankang's mansion and the master, so the eldest son of the Shen family came to propose in person! For a person with the identity of the Second Miss, as for who the Second Miss is, is there any difference to the Shen family who is willing to form a family relationship with our Ankangbo Mansion? Mr. Shen has never met Xin Wan, so there is nothing because he likes Xin Wan, not because of Xin Wan. Wanna not marry! As long as he lets Xinhan meet him next time, with Xinhan's appearance, temperament and talent, he will definitely be able to catch the eyes of Mr. Shen! As long as he falls into the eyes of Mr. Shen, when the time comes It was Xinhan who married, and the Shen family will definitely not have any objections!"
This is a good way!Gao couldn't help being tempted. If she had to sacrifice a granddaughter in exchange for the wealth of Ankangbo Mansion, she would of course be willing to sacrifice the concubine Lu Xinhan, not the concubine Lu Xinwan.
"Old madam!" Aunt Liu was so frightened that she couldn't respect the rules, she knelt on the ground and begged, "I'm just such a daughter, and I'm pointing her at the end of my life, please don't push her into the fire pit of the Shen family!"
Aunt Liu is old, and knows that once a man loses that ability, his heart will gradually become perverted. Her daughter who is as beautiful as a flower may be tortured by some pervert when she marries, and she may die at a young age. !
Xiao Gao smiled coldly, "Sister Liu, what you said is wrong. The Shen family has a scholarly family and a family in the capital. What kind of fire pit is there? If this word gets out, it may bring disaster to our uncle's house." What a disaster! Besides, you are the one who serves the master. In the future, the son and son will give you a pension. How can you say that you will let your daughter take care of the old age? Are you implying that the aunt, the master and I will treat you badly in the future? "
"Old lady," Aunt Liu looked at Gao with tears in her eyes, "I don't mean that. I just don't want Miss San to get married at such a young age! Miss San has not learned how to run a family because of her humble background. When I went to the Shen family, I immediately became the eldest wife of the family. I am afraid that the third lady will not be able to handle it, and she will embarrass the Shen family and embarrass the uncle's house! Old lady, you have to think twice!"
When Gao Shi heard it, it seemed to make sense.
In the past, Lin Ruyue was the main wife. Although Lu Xinwan and Lu Xinhan did not suppress her, she would not teach her wholeheartedly. When the time comes, the Shen family will lose face, and if Mr. Shen is unhappy, this Ankangbo Mansion may be angered.
Little Gao glared at the lovely and pitiful Aunt Liu, and said before Gao said, "Auntie, Xinwan was only twelve years old when she followed her niece to learn how to head the house, and she mastered it in two or three years! Xinhanruo After being promised to the Shen family, it will take at least a year for the Nacai Wenming to wait for Liuli to come down! During this more than a year, the niece is willing to do her best to teach Xinhan, and I believe that with Xinhan's intelligence, she will be able to master all of them!"
This is a good idea!In this way, there is no worries at all!Mrs. Gao took her time and was about to move her mouth when suddenly Lu Xinhan murmured with tears in her eyes, "Auntie, what's wrong with you, Auntie, don't scare Xinhan! Grandma, Auntie has fainted, please hurry up and ask a doctor to come and see for Auntie Look!"
Lu Xinhan looked up at Gao with tears in her eyes. Gao wanted to let her marry the Shen family in exchange for a future for the uncle's house. Naturally, she couldn't refuse, "Mother Che, go and ask the doctor to come and see for Aunt Liu."
Xiao Gao secretly hated: This bitch really knows how to pretend!
Aunt Liu "woke up" later, seeing that Gao's side was having trouble, she started making trouble in front of Lu Congyuan again.
Lu Congyuan scolded: "The kindness of a woman! What a blessing Xinhan is to marry into the Shen family! No matter how many daughters in Beijing want to marry, they are not qualified!"
Aunt Liu couldn't believe it, "Master, Mr. Shen has been abolished! You want the third lady to be a widow for the rest of her life? The third lady is your own wife. You loved her so much when she was young, how can you bear it? "
"As a daughter of the uncle's mansion, she should contribute to the future of the uncle's mansion!" Lu Congyuan waved his hand, "That's the matter, don't bring it up again!"
Aunt Liu felt cold all over her body, as if she knew for the first time that the person next to her pillow was such a cold person, "Master, if you insist on doing this, the concubine...the concubine will die immediately!"
"Go away and die!" Lu Congyuan said in disgust.
He, Lu Congyuan, has lived a worthless life in this life. Now, a mere aunt, dare to threaten him with her life to give up this great opportunity?It's just a dream!Even if Lu Congyuan was killed, he would not miss this golden opportunity at his fingertips!
Aunt Liu fell to the ground, her whole body was cold.
After Lu Xinhan knew that there was no way to save this matter, she calmed down instead and locked herself in the room for a day and a night without coming out, scaring her personal servant girl Lily to think that something happened to her.
On the morning of the deadline set by Shen Qingzhu, Lu Xinhan opened the door, "Lily, fetch water to help me freshen up."
"Yes, miss." Lily looked up quietly, and saw Lu Xinhan's calm face, as if she had accepted the fact, she was temporarily relieved.
When Shen Qingzhu and Matchmaker Liu came, Xiao Gao warmly entertained them.
It seems that he has figured it out, Shen Qingzhu sneered, he thought how chaste he was that day, but it seems that it is nothing more than that!
Xiao Gao happily said: "Mr. Shen, I have discussed with my aunt and master. It is really a blessing for my daughter to marry Mr. Shen. Uncle Ankang is willing to form a friendship with the Shen family with two surnames!"
Shen Qingzhu said casually: "In the future, please ask the mother-in-law to take care of the son-in-law."
After the two had confirmed, the next step was for Xiao Gao and Matchmaker Liu to discuss the next engagement.
Under Xiao Gao's arrangement, Shen Qingzhu went to the Hou Mansion Garden to meet Lu Xinhan.
In the morning, after Lu Xinhan washed up, she took Lily to the second room to see Lu Xinyun.
Lu Xinyun fell into the water that day and got scratched on her face by porcelain, but she was very lucky. The wound looked scary, but it was not deep. In addition to her young age, the doctor said that she should take care of it for a year or two. Those scars can be cured. Completely removed, it will not affect future marriage negotiations at all.
"Fourth sister, does the injury on your face still hurt?" Lu Xinhan asked with concern.
"Much better, thank you, Third Sister, for your concern." Lu Xinyun struggled to sit up.
Lu Xinhan hurriedly held her down, "Fourth sister, don't move, just lie down and talk."
Lu Xinyun waved her hand, "Third Sister, I'm fine at all, but my forehead and the left side of my face are hurt a little bit, Auntie is too worried, she told me to lie down and don't move, pity I've been lying on the bed for three full days, bored They're all suffocated."
"Poor Fourth Sister." Lu Xinhan sat on the edge of the bed, holding Lu Xinyun's hand like a good sister, and said, "Fourth Sister is lying on the bed and suffers, while some people are out and about, hey, I really feel sorry for Fourth Sister value!"
One sentence aroused the hatred in Lu Xinyun's heart, "That Lu Xinyan, when my face gets better, I will definitely not make her feel better."
Lu Xinhan said with a little regret: "Silly fourth sister, I'm afraid you won't have this chance."
Lu Xinyun wondered: "How did the third sister say this?"
Lu Xinhan sighed, "Someone came to propose marriage to Lu Xinyan today, and my mother is going to agree. In order not to affect the second sister's marriage, I guess Lu Xinyan will get married within half a year at most."
Because of their relationship with concubines, the second and fourth bedrooms have no sense of existence in the mansion. No matter what happens in the mansion, they are the last to know.
In the past, Lu Xinyun stayed by Lu Xinwan and Lu Xinhan's side all day long, and the news was better. These days, she was recovering from her injuries in the house. Xiao Gao's Lu Xinwan and Aunt Liu Lu Xinhan fought each other openly and secretly in order to let each other marry into the Shen family. , no one has come to see Lu Xinyun, so Lu Xinyun has no idea about Shen Qingzhu's coming to propose marriage.
"She is a divorced woman, how can she have any good family to ask for her?" Lu Xinyun laughed disdainfully, "I'm afraid she is not a butcher, a widower, or someone with pockmarks."
Lu Xinhan smiled and said: "Fourth sister, you are thinking wrong. In the past, Lu Xinyan married the second-rank Hou Guangping Hou's family, and the old lady Gong and the Queen Mother made friends with the queen mother. At least the family with fourth-rank and above officials! With Lu Xinyan's appearance, Coupled with his prodigal temperament, he might be able to hook up a good son."
"No way?" Lu Xinyun felt incredible, "Third sister, did you make a mistake?"
Lu Xinhan shrugged, "I didn't believe it at first, but someone heard the tea maid talking about how handsome the young man who came to propose marriage is, and he is enjoying flowers in the garden of our uncle's mansion right now."
Lu Xinyun became curious, "Third Sister, why don't you take a sneak peek and tell me when you come back? I really want to know who it is that has no vision and wants to marry Lu Xinyan."
"I'm also very curious, but yesterday my grandmother said that I was about to talk about someone else, and I still didn't know anything about the middle-feeding. She was afraid that my marriage would be hindered in the future, so she asked me to go to her to study in the past two days." Lu Xinhan said: "I'll come to you This is barely squeezed time, and I must go now."
"Third sister, let's go." Lu Xinyun was rather disappointed.
"By the way, I think the injury on Fourth Sister's face has faded a lot. Congratulations to Fourth Sister! If you're bored, wear a darker colored veiled hat when you go out, so no one will be able to see it."
When Lu Xinhan walked to the door, she suddenly turned around and said this before leaving with a smile.
Lu Xinyun's heart skipped a beat when she heard this, and she called the maid, "Ding Xiang, help me change my clothes."
Ding Xiang walked in, "Miss, the Second Madam won't let you go out."
"It's okay, just wear a dark veiled hat. It's really suffocating me to be in the house for three days." Lu Xinyun has a restless temper. She used to run to Lu Xinwan's yard every day, but now she doesn't go out for three days. It's hard for her.
Ding Xiang, a maid, couldn't make the decision, so she had to change clothes and comb hair for Lu Xinyun, and even at Lu Xinyun's request, painted her eyebrows and wiped her lip balm.
Lu Xinyun chose a light lilac skirt, and put on a dark purple tulle veil on her head. The delicate facial features became more beautiful through the hazy veil, but the scars on that face were not visible at all.
It seems that the third sister is right!After Lu Xinyun dressed up, she was very satisfied with the effect.
"Lilac, it's too stuffy in the house, accompany me to the garden."
When approaching the back garden, a gust of wind blew by, Lu Xinyun shrank her neck deliberately, and said, "Ding Xiang, it seems a little cold, you go back and get a cloak."
Ding Xiang didn't doubt that she had it, but instead blamed herself for being careless, she didn't prepare a cloak for Lu Xinyun when she went out, "Miss, I will return as soon as I go, you will wait here."
Miss Bofu was admiring the flowers in the garden of Bofu. Even if she was alone, nothing would happen. Ding Xiang didn't think much about it and went back directly.
Lu Xinyun deliberately pushed Ding Xiang away, she wanted to take a sneak peek at who the man who came to propose marriage to Lu Xinyan was!
At first she thought that a man who would propose marriage to a divorced woman was definitely not a good thing, but then she thought about it, even the third prince and grandson gave gifts to Lu Xinyan, maybe Lu Xinyan really has some skills when it comes to men.
So when Lu Xinhan said that no one would be able to see the wound on her face by wearing a veil, she decided to come out and see for herself.
If the man who came to propose marriage is a very ordinary man, then she doesn't care about it, she wishes Lu Xinyan could leave the uncle's house quickly, but if he is really a good man as Lu Xinhan said, then she will destroy it, or... replace him.
Lu Xinyun was walking around in the garden by herself, her eyeballs under the veiled hat kept turning.
Not long after, a man turned the corner of the front pavilion.
The man's face was like a jade crown, and his shape was like pine and bamboo. He was dressed in a blue brocade suit, and there were several clumps of green bamboo on the sleeves of the gown, which made the man even more noble and elegant, with an extraordinary bearing.
The breeze blew up his sleeves, and the sleeves fluttered in the wind as he walked, with a graceful demeanor.
With such appearance, posture and demeanor, at first glance, he is not a son or brother of an ordinary family.
Lu Xinyun was stunned for a moment.
Shen Qingzhu saw a slender woman in front of her, dressed in light lilac, standing there delicately, like a lilac flower waiting to be picked, the sin in her heart suddenly bloomed enchantingly.
He asked the servant to back down, walked up to meet Lu Xinyun, clasped his hands together, and said gently and politely: "Excuse me, which lady is this from the Lu residence?"
The gentlemanly manner of an adult man made Lu Xinyun's heart pound like a deer, she gave a little blessing, her voice was shy and sweet, "Master, my daughter is Miss Lu Si of the Lu Mansion, may I ask who is it?"
Fourth Miss Lu?Shen Qingzhu frowned slightly. Originally, he wondered if the uncle's house deliberately teased him, and used Miss Lu to replace Miss Lu to meet him, but Lu Xinyun's last sentence made him feel relieved.
He will ask who he is, which means that the other party has no idea who he is!
The ladies of Ankangbo Mansion, because of their social circle, have never met Shen Qingzhu who belongs to the upper class, but only heard anecdotes about him.
Since the other party didn't know, of course Shen Qingzhu would not be so stupid as to tell others that he was the rumored deposed Shen Qingzhu. He said vaguely, "I'm coming down to your residence to do some private business."
Lu Xinyun heard him talk about private matters, and thought that this person was probably the man who came to propose marriage to Lu Xinyan.
Such an excellent man, how could Lu Xinyan be worthy of him?
Lu Xinyun was so jealous that she decided to use her charm to make him fall in love with her.
"Have you finished your son's affairs? If so, how about letting my little girl take you on a tour of this uncle's mansion?" Lu Xinyun took the initiative to invite.
Shen Qingzhu has been through the flowers for a long time, and he can see through Lu Xinyun's little trick at a glance. The evil beast in his heart starts to roar, but he has a gentle smile on his face, "So, Miss Lu Fourth."
Lu Xinyun intentionally walked on Shen Qingzhu's left, so that her intact right face faced him.
Along the way, her laughter was like a bell, her voice was like honey, and the crisp girlish voice kept ringing in Shen Qingzhu's ears.
Compared with young girls, Shen Qingzhu in the past preferred young women. The unique charm of young women was like a deadly poppy, which made him unable to stop.
But now that some kind of power has been lost, Shen Qingzhu feels that maybe torturing immature girls is more interesting than torturing young women.
Just like those aunts in his mansion, no matter how perverted he used to torture them, they, who had experienced many battles, could always reduce their harm and even get happiness in the end.
But for a young girl who doesn't know much about the world, Shen Qingzhu thought darkly: He will definitely torture her to the point of kneeling and begging for mercy!
"Ouch," just as Shen Qingzhu was immersed in his perverted fantasies, a soft body suddenly appeared in his arms. He raised his eyes and saw Lu Xinyun's delicate face with a little baby fat, when the tulle of the cap was lifted. And those big bright eyes similar to Lu Xinyan.
Lu Xinyun's face became hot, and she stood up straight and apologized, "I'm sorry, my lord, because of a few rashes on my face, I'm wearing a veiled hat, which made it difficult to see the way clearly, and disturbed my lord. It's really my fault, my lord. understanding."
The face under the tulle was fleeting, Shen Qingzhu didn't remember that face, but remembered those eyes, eyes similar to Lu Xinyan.
He stretched out his hand to hold Lu Xinyun's hand, and asked gently: "Miss Lu Si, can I tell you your boudoir name?"
Lu Xinyun replied shyly, "Little girl Xinyun."
Mrs. Gao was deciding on a date with Matchmaker Liu, when Shen Qingzhu suddenly came in and called Matchmaker Liu aside, and after a few words, she handed over her hands and left.
After Liu Matchmaker listened, her face, which was already red and green, was even more exciting as if she had overturned her palette.
Xiao Gao's heart was beating drums, and she was worried and changed her mind again, "Matchmaker Liu, this is a day that matches the horoscope..."
Matchmaker Liu interrupted her, "I'm sorry, Madam Ankang, Mr. Shen suddenly changed his mind and asked for a new bride."
Xiao Gao was taken aback, thinking that he had heard some rumor somewhere that he had to change it to his own heart, and when he was about to say that he could not change it again, he heard Liu Matchmaker say: "Mr. Miss Lu Si, who is famous and talented."
At first Xiao Gao thought she had heard it wrong, but after Liu Matchmaker accurately said Lu Xinyun's name, she knew that Shen Qingzhu had really changed her mind, otherwise how could she even say her boudoir's name so clearly?
It would be better to change to Lu Xinyun!Anyway, it's not Lu Xinwan!Xiao Gao did not hesitate at all, her eyes rolled, "Matchmaker Liu, I will replace it with Xinyun, but please keep this matter a secret for now."
Matchmaker Liu was also afraid that Shen Qingzhu would change her mind again, so she hurriedly said: "Of course, this is a day that matches the horoscope..."
"I'll write the horoscope now." Both of them were afraid of having long nights and dreams, so they quickly exchanged notes.
After Gao learned that Shen Qingzhu had suddenly replaced her with Lu Xinyun, she asked someone to investigate and found out what happened in the garden.
She sneered and said: "The one who is born by a concubine is one who is born by a concubine, and the adopted daughter will not be able to make it to the stage."
Although Lu Xinyun is her granddaughter in name, she has no blood relationship with her at all. Now she voluntarily replaces her own granddaughter Lu Xinhan to marry into Shen's family, which Gao couldn't wish for.
"Keep this secret beforehand! To avoid further troubles!" Gao Shi said, Lu Xinyun didn't know Shen Qingzhu before she made this mistake, if she knew about it, it would definitely be another trouble.
"Understood, aunt." Xiao Gao thought the same in her heart, "Although Xinyun is young, but Mr. Shen cannot have intercourse. In order to avoid long nights and dreams, there is no harm in marrying earlier, what do you think?"
Gao nodded and agreed, "You are right, discuss it with the Shen family, choose a good day before the year, and let Xinyun come over."
Now it's October 22, and it's only a little more than two months before Chinese New Year. Xiao Gao was overjoyed, "Understood, Auntie, Xinwanxinhan and Aunt Liu, my niece will tell them, don't leak any information."
"Well, let's do it like this." Gao said lightly.
The matter of Shen Qingzhu finally settled down, and after Xiao Gao settled down, she had other thoughts, "Auntie, this Mr. Shen came to the door twice, and the suitors changed from that cheap girl to Xin Wan, and finally suddenly became Xinyun, this incident gave my niece some ideas."
"What do you think, let's hear it?" Gao Shi didn't care.
Xiao Gao said: "Eldest Master Shen had no intention of meeting Xinyun and got his thoughts changed. If we choose some unmarried men who are suitable and outstanding from the relatives who are easy to control, and meet that cheap girl by chance, maybe she will be moved." If she wants to marry voluntarily, then after she gets married, her dowry..."
Mrs. Gao nodded repeatedly, "That's a good suggestion! That bitch has become wary of our aunt and nephew. No matter who she arranges for her, she will feel conflicted, but if she accidentally meets someone we specially arranged , voluntarily marry, but it will save you a lot of worry."
Xiao Gao happily said: "The niece will immediately draw up a personal selection list and show it to my aunt!"
When Shen Qingzhu proposed marriage to Lu Xinyun, Xiao Gao just told Lu Xinyun vaguely that there was a nobleman who fell in love with her and was secretly discussing the marriage. information.
Lu Xinyun was so happy that she danced and danced. She, who could not hide her secrets, insisted on keeping her mouth shut, not even telling her biological parents.
Using the excuse of recovering from his injuries, he stopped looking for Lu Xinwan and Lu Xinhan, and stayed in the room every day to embroider wedding dresses.
Once her mother saw her and asked her why she was embroidering the wedding dress so early. Lu Xinyun lied and said that because the embroidery work was not good, she just couldn't go out and was bored right now, so she practiced her hands.
Her mother didn't doubt that there was him, and she was glad that her daughter was sensible, so she gave him some pointers from time to time.
Since then, Lu Xinyun has been embroidering wedding dresses in her own room openly and aboveboard.
After Shen Qingzhu changed the object of marriage proposal to Lu Xinyun, Lu Xinyan received the news immediately, she raised her eyebrows, she couldn't see that Lu Xinhan had such scheming, and calmly helped her out!
"Miss, do you want to tell Lu Xinyun about Shen Qingzhu, so that they can make trouble again?" Qing Tong looked like she wanted to continue watching the show.
Lu Xinyan shook her head, "No need, the Shen family is very powerful, and Shen Qingzhu's coming to propose marriage must have got the consent of Mr. Shen. The current Ankang Manor has no choice but to compromise. Now that Lu Xinyun is willing to act as a scapegoat, this matter Let nature take its course, and end here! When Lu Xinyun marries and discovers the problem, with her temperament, she will not let Lu Xinwan and Lu Xinhan go, and there will still be a good show at that time."
"Got it, miss."
At this moment, Nanny Lu sent in a post, "Miss, the second lady of Kong Shangshu Mansion invites you to enjoy the flowers in the Kong family's other courtyard on the 25th."
The post is very delicate, exuding a faint fragrance of sweet-scented osmanthus, and the characters on it are delicate and small, which is quite solid.
"Who else did the Ankang Mansion invite?" Lu Xinyan took the post and asked casually.
Nanny Lu said: "The second and third misses have all received posts, but their posts are ordinary posts written by the steward of the Confucian Mansion, which says to invite Miss Ankangbo Mansion, and the one in your hand was sent by Second Miss Kong alone." It is said that there are no more than ten private posts, and they will not be posted unless they are close friends."
Lu Xinyan raised her eyebrows, "So this post is quite important, isn't it something ordinary people can get?"
The tone of the question was positive.
Qingtong asked curiously: "Miss, Miss Kong Er has never met you before, why did she suddenly send you a private message?"
Lu Xinyan shrugged her shoulders, indicating that she didn't know about it, but her thoughts turned to what Xiao Yichen said about the faction between the court and China.
Kong Shangshu's mansion is the family of the fourth prince, a democratic faction supported by the people, and it is also one of the most suspicious democratic faction business factions that may steal her property secretly.
But until now, apart from knowing that the other party is ambitious and has a high status, Lu Xinyan has no clue.
"Since it's here, let's settle down and watch the changes."
-
In the capital city, a certain private house.
Precious mahogany furniture, a wide variety of doubloons, warm jade, and deep-colored antiques all reflect the low-key luxury of the owner of the house.
The exquisite huanghuali screen separates a young man in a blue brocade robe from several middle-aged men in fancy clothes.
The man was sitting in the middle behind the screen, and ten middle-aged men were sitting in front of him, who were sitting upright and motionless.
If anyone from the business world reads it, they will be shocked, because these ten are all famous businessmen from the first and second genus of the Tianwu Kingdom!
Their industries involve various industries in Tianwu, such as silk, tea, rouge powder, porcelain antiques, calligraphy and painting workshops, wood, seafood, brothels...There are coffin shops!
There are four kinds of exquisite candied fruit and steaming Tieguanyin in season at each person's hand.
The room was so quiet that a needle could be heard.
It's been nearly a quarter of an hour since the master didn't say a word, the 20 people were sweating non-stop on their foreheads, but they didn't even dare to breathe.
The matter of the grain merchant Wan Jinlai had just happened, and no one dared to speak out first.
When the master said that he wanted to buy the firm under Lu Xinyan's name, everyone thought that Lu Xinyan was just a sixteen-year-old woman who had been hidden and raised by Lin Ruyue. She was an ordinary woman who had never even left the capital. Asylum of the Pinghou Mansion, wouldn't it be easy to buy the firm under her name?
Everyone is rushing to be the first, willing to take the lead and buy the shop in Lu Xinyan's own industry first!But in the end, Wan Jinlai took the lead, and he took the lead to start the acquisition battle of the grain store. After success, other industries followed suit and took all the stores in Lu Xinyan's hands under his own name, and finally The bank ended the game, implying that Lu Xinyan used the ready-made money for lending or investing, and finally made her lose everything.
The plan is perfect, if it goes well, in less than a year, [-]% to [-]% of the property in Lu Xinyan's hands can be obtained in the hands of Lu Xinyan!
As a result, this beautiful grand plan was just unfolding, and when everyone was still immersed in wonderful fantasies, suddenly came the news that Wan Jinlai had stumbled!
Not only did he lose all his ancestors' grain business, he lost tens of thousands of taels of silver to his master, he even lost his own life!
In this case, who dares to speak?If he is pointed out by his master and sent to buy Lu Xinyan's property, won't he become the next Wan Jinlai?
After the death-like silence, the man behind the screen sneered and opened his mouth with a cool and sarcastic voice, "Everyone who is the most outstanding businessman in the Tianwu Kingdom, tell me, what's next?
What should I do? "
Last time, when the man asked this question, all the people in the room were scrambling to be the first, spitting, witty, and the truth constantly, showing the air of a king who pointed out the country!
His confidence was so high, it seemed that as long as he was given a chance, he would be able to take over Lu Xinyan's property without any effort!Many of them even put forward a series of grand plans for how to develop after the acquisition is completed. In the conversation, they have already regarded those industries as their own pockets!
This time, all 20 people shrank their necks and moved their eyes from side to side, hoping that the people on the left and right would speak first, so as to relieve the embarrassment in front of them.
The man mocked slowly, "Why, it's only been half a month, and everyone has taken dumb drugs?"
Twenty people opened their mouths, smiled awkwardly, and winked at the people around them, hoping that they would speak first.
The man said solemnly and coldly: "If you can talk but don't open your mouth, what's the use of having a voice? Come here, give each person a bowl of dumb medicine, don't talk about it in the future!"
Thanks to Shuiyuan and WeiXin1f33fe9dc9 for the monthly pass!
(End of this chapter)
To the southwest, Qiyun Mountain.
Qiyun Mountain is the last most important natural barrier in the Southwest. If this mountain is breached, the entire Southwest will fall into the hands of Waci.
Qiyun Mountain is not a mountain, but consists of several mountains that stretch for hundreds of miles. The mountains are steep and precipitous, reaching straight into the sky. It is simply impossible to climb the mountains with bare hands.
At first glance, the mountains look like a whole, but if you take a closer look, you will find a crack that seems to be split by a sword on the left third of Qiyun Mountain.
That was the only way to enter Qiyun Mountain: a rugged path less than one meter wide.
The [-] remnants of the Li family army led by Old General Li entered through this trail and hid behind Qiyun Mountain.
Qiyun Mountain is easy to defend but difficult to attack. The 25 Wacha army led by General Wacha Bechiha could not attack for a long time, so they simply stationed at the foot of Qiyun Mountain.
The food in the mountains is limited, and the Wacha Army intends to force General Li and the [-] remnants of the Li family army to death in the mountains without a single soldier.
"Vice General Wang, how long can the army last with food?" In the big tent, Li Zhong, an old general in armor and full of silver hair, sat on the commander's seat and asked the deputy general Wang Pinggui who was standing beside him.
In the past few months since Wacha's sudden attack, Li Zhong has not had a good night's sleep, his face is tired and old, with a look of gray and defeated, but his facial features can still be seen as handsome as when he was young.
Li Yu's exquisite skin is inherited from this face.
"Go back to the old general, up to seven days!" Wang Pinggui's hoarse voice was clearly desperate.
At the beginning, they were forced to rush up the mountain, and the food and grass did not have time to be transported in. Therefore, they were trapped in Qiyun Mountain for nearly a month. Everything that could be picked and dug nearby, as long as they could be eaten, all entered the stomachs of [-] Li Jiajun.
Li Zhong said in a deep voice, "Is there any news about the imperial reinforcements?"
Wang Pinggui said: "General Wacha Bechiha has set up a net at the foot of the mountain, and the soldiers who sent out to inquire about the news have not returned for a long time. I'm afraid it's..." The ominous is more than good, so whether the imperial court sent anyone or not? How many reinforcements were sent, no one knows.
Li Zhong lowered his eyelids and did not speak, the tent suddenly fell into a deathly silence.
Wang Pinggui couldn't help but said: "Old General, the food is running out, and there has been no news of reinforcements for a long time. The officers and soldiers in the army are impetuous. Fighting incidents have continued to occur in the past few days! If this continues, the Wacha army did not come in. We The army has collapsed internally!"
Why doesn't Li Zhong know?If he had had a way back then, he would not have brought people into Qiyun Mountain, sat on the mountain, and waited desperately for death.
"Report!" A loud voice sounded from outside the door.
"Come in quickly." Both Li Zhong and Wang Pinggui were shocked.
At this time, any news is good news for them!
The soldier said: "Report to Old General Li, and the spies reported that the imperial reinforcements have arrived in the southwest, and they will reach Qiyun Mountain twenty miles away in at most three days!"
Li Zhong was overjoyed, "Submit a letter!"
The soldier handed over a bloody letter. It seemed that the spy who first found out about the reinforcements had already died, or the news was sent back only after the sacrifice of several spies in the army.
Li Zhong ignored the grief in his heart and hurriedly opened the letter.
After a few breaths, he held the letter tightly in one hand, laughed endlessly, his expression was excited, his eyes were burning, he waved his big hand, and the aura cultivated by the veteran general on the battlefield for many years burst out at that moment, "Deputy General Wang, send the order down!" : The emperor named Xiao Yichen, the prince of the Duke of Zhen, as the General of the Western Expedition, and led 20 reinforcements to the Western Expedition. In three days, he will reach Qiyun Mountain [-] miles away. Please get ready and cooperate with General Xiao at that time , kill the Wacha army without leaving a piece of armor!"
Wang Pinggui was overjoyed, "It was Xiao Shizi who was sent by the emperor?"
The Xiao family has been in the army for several generations, all of them have outstanding military exploits and have a high prestige in the army. Xiao Yichen retired from Beidi at the age of ten, went to the battlefield at thirteen, became famous in the first battle at sixteen, defeated the Ula army, and dared not invade Tianwu Dongyuan for three years On the border, if the Li family army knew that the reinforcement general was Xiao Yichen, their morale would be greatly boosted!
"Understood, old general, I will pass this on!" Wang Pinggui said loudly.
After Wang Pinggui left, Li Zhong, who had just been heroic and vigorous, lost his look on his face, lost all his momentum, and fell down on the grand master's chair dejectedly.
How can there be an army of 20?Only eighty thousand!Eighty thousand!
But in the current situation, he can't tell the truth, he has to say this, first stabilize the [-] Li family remnants in this mountain!
Wacha has a total of 25 troops stationed at the foot of Qiyun Mountain. The main camp, which is hundreds of miles away, has been captured by the Wacha army in Taizhong, and there are 15 reinforcements waiting to leave at any time!
If there is an army of 20, whether it is to raid Taizhong, the main camp of Wacha, to force the 25 Wacha army at the foot of Qiyun Mountain to leave the mountain, or to attack the 25 Wacha army first, there will be a great chance of winning in the end. It can solve the crisis in the southwest!
Li Zhong has been in the army for more than 40 years, and he is very clear about the strength of the imperial court. Knowing that the imperial reserve army is only 20, he put forward the minimum requirement of 20. Unexpectedly, in the end, the imperial court only sent [-] reinforcements!
Eighty thousand, whether it is against the 25 tile army at the foot of Qiyun Mountain or the 15 tile army in Taizhong, do you want to win?
Difficult, difficult, difficult!
Even if they barely win a game, once the opposing armies join together to launch a crazy counterattack, the [-] Li Family Army and the [-] Zhengxi Army will surely die!
Li Zhong thought about it, and his thoughts were ups and downs. No matter how you look at it, the [-] troops who conquered the west seem to be here to die!
Li Zhong sighed, Li Zhong was almost sixty years old, he was a person who put half of his foot in the coffin, spent half his life fighting in the battlefield, and dying on the battlefield is his best destination, there is no pity!
It's just a pity for the Duke of Zhenguo's mansion, it's a pity for Xiao Yichen!Originally, the future is boundless, but this Qiyun Mountain is about to be buried for a long time, what a pity, what a pity!
-
In the three days before Shen Qingzhu visited the Ankangbo mansion again, the Ankangbo mansion was full of excitement and excitement.
After Lu Xinwan heard Lu Xinyan's words that day, she immediately went to find Xiao Gao, because Gao agreed to give Lu Xinwan to Shen Qingzhu. Ah~"
"Aniang, I have a way not to marry into the Shen family, and not to offend the Shen family!" Lu Xinwan said with a smile on her face.
"What way?" Xiao Gao hurriedly wiped away her tears, her eyes expectant.
Lu Xinwan said: "Let the third sister marry in for me!"
Xiao Gao took a deep breath, "But Mr. Shen pointed out that the object of marriage proposal is the Second Miss Lu of the Uncle Ankang Mansion..."
Lu Xinwan said nonchalantly: "Aniang adopted the third sister, and changed the age of me and her so that she will be the second young lady and I will be the third young lady. Anyway, the third younger sister is not bad in appearance, as long as Mr. Shen doesn't see her I, without comparison, Mr. Shen will definitely accept Third Sister."
Xiao Gao patted her thigh and said happily, "Wan'er is right! A Niang, go tell your grandmother!"
After Lu Xinhan ran after Lu Xinwan for a while, knowing that it was useless to catch up, she turned around and went to her aunt Liu Auntie's yard.
Aunt Liu also counted on Lu Xinhan to say that she has a good family, so that she can rely on her in the future, but she didn't know that such a disaster would come.
Without further ado, she took Lu Xinhan to the Ankang Hospital and cried to Mrs. Gao.
"Old lady, I am a slave, how do you arrange my concubine, I have no complaints, but the third lady is the master's own flesh and blood, your own granddaughter, you must protect her!" Liu The aunt cried and said.
Mrs. Gao couldn't figure it out. Seeing Aunt Liu's snot and tears, she had no manners, and she was always the one sent out by her side, and scolded: "Speak in a proper manner! How is it proper to behave like this now?"
"Yes, old lady!" Aunt Liu obediently wiped away the tears on her face, stood aside with her head bowed, and said sadly: "Just now Miss San said goodbye to my concubine, saying that she will marry into Shen's family as the eldest wife Now, I feel strange in my heart, why did I never hear the old lady mention such a big matter, and the second lady didn't even mention marriage, so where is it the third lady's turn? After the concubine kept asking, the third lady finally told the truth It turns out that Mr. Shen proposed marriage to the second lady, but the second lady didn't want to, so she wanted the third lady to marry her in place of her. However, the person who proposed to marry her was the second lady who was born in Ankangbo's mansion, and asked the third lady to marry him. This is not an obvious deception ? When the time comes, the in-laws will become enemies, and the Shen family will be powerful. If he gets angry, our Ankang Mansion will be in trouble..."
"Nonsense! Who said that Xinhan should marry Xinwan instead?" Gao clapped the armrest with anger on his face, "Where did you hear such nonsensical words?"
Aunt Liu sobbed pitifully: "It was the second lady who told the third lady that she wanted my wife to adopt the third lady, so that the third lady would become the second lady and marry instead of the second lady, but old lady, think about it, the second lady It's not that Miss San has never shown her face outside, so many ladies know who is Miss Second and Miss San in our Ankang Mansion, can this method of forcibly changing the age be deceived?"
When Mrs. Gao was about to say that she didn't know about it, and what she didn't know didn't count, Mrs. Gao and Lu Xinwan rushed in in a hurry.
Xiao Gao glanced at her former ally and current enemy, Aunt Liu, who was standing aside, and thought with disdain: This bitch came quickly.
"Auntie, my niece has good news to tell you!" Xiao Gao pretended to be happy and said, even if Gao knew, Xiao Gao still had to say it again.
"What good news?" Mrs. Gao had already guessed, but she still wanted to ask in a mysterious way.
Xiao Gao pretended she didn't know, with a bright smile on her face, "Auntie, niece came up with a good idea to prevent Xinwan from getting married and not offend the Shen family!"
"But let Xinhan marry in place of Xinwan?" Gao Shi didn't bother to pretend to her, and asked directly.
"Auntie, why do you want to be with your niece?" Xiao Gao blinked in surprise, then smiled and said: "Auntie, Xinwan is not only your direct granddaughter, but also your direct grandniece, if we can keep her happy , and get the help of the Shen family, why not do it?"
She deliberately bit down on the words "granddaughter" and "grandniece" to tell Mrs. Gao and Aunt Liu that they are both young ladies of the Lu family in the Uncle Ankang Mansion, and that Lu Xinhan's weight is much worse than Lu Xinwan's!
Aunt Liu's complexion changed, and she clasped her hands tightly under the armhole, but she knew Gao's temper well, so she didn't dare to speak casually, so she had to wait.
Gao raised her eyelids, "Ah Ning, Xinwan and Xinhan have both shown their faces outside, how can we deceive them? When the Shen family blames them, our Ankang House cannot afford to offend them!"
Xiao Gao smiled and said: "Auntie, the Shen family is willing to marry our Uncle Ankang's Mansion, which means that the Shen family likes our Uncle Ankang's mansion and the master, so the eldest son of the Shen family came to propose in person! For a person with the identity of the Second Miss, as for who the Second Miss is, is there any difference to the Shen family who is willing to form a family relationship with our Ankangbo Mansion? Mr. Shen has never met Xin Wan, so there is nothing because he likes Xin Wan, not because of Xin Wan. Wanna not marry! As long as he lets Xinhan meet him next time, with Xinhan's appearance, temperament and talent, he will definitely be able to catch the eyes of Mr. Shen! As long as he falls into the eyes of Mr. Shen, when the time comes It was Xinhan who married, and the Shen family will definitely not have any objections!"
This is a good way!Gao couldn't help being tempted. If she had to sacrifice a granddaughter in exchange for the wealth of Ankangbo Mansion, she would of course be willing to sacrifice the concubine Lu Xinhan, not the concubine Lu Xinwan.
"Old madam!" Aunt Liu was so frightened that she couldn't respect the rules, she knelt on the ground and begged, "I'm just such a daughter, and I'm pointing her at the end of my life, please don't push her into the fire pit of the Shen family!"
Aunt Liu is old, and knows that once a man loses that ability, his heart will gradually become perverted. Her daughter who is as beautiful as a flower may be tortured by some pervert when she marries, and she may die at a young age. !
Xiao Gao smiled coldly, "Sister Liu, what you said is wrong. The Shen family has a scholarly family and a family in the capital. What kind of fire pit is there? If this word gets out, it may bring disaster to our uncle's house." What a disaster! Besides, you are the one who serves the master. In the future, the son and son will give you a pension. How can you say that you will let your daughter take care of the old age? Are you implying that the aunt, the master and I will treat you badly in the future? "
"Old lady," Aunt Liu looked at Gao with tears in her eyes, "I don't mean that. I just don't want Miss San to get married at such a young age! Miss San has not learned how to run a family because of her humble background. When I went to the Shen family, I immediately became the eldest wife of the family. I am afraid that the third lady will not be able to handle it, and she will embarrass the Shen family and embarrass the uncle's house! Old lady, you have to think twice!"
When Gao Shi heard it, it seemed to make sense.
In the past, Lin Ruyue was the main wife. Although Lu Xinwan and Lu Xinhan did not suppress her, she would not teach her wholeheartedly. When the time comes, the Shen family will lose face, and if Mr. Shen is unhappy, this Ankangbo Mansion may be angered.
Little Gao glared at the lovely and pitiful Aunt Liu, and said before Gao said, "Auntie, Xinwan was only twelve years old when she followed her niece to learn how to head the house, and she mastered it in two or three years! Xinhanruo After being promised to the Shen family, it will take at least a year for the Nacai Wenming to wait for Liuli to come down! During this more than a year, the niece is willing to do her best to teach Xinhan, and I believe that with Xinhan's intelligence, she will be able to master all of them!"
This is a good idea!In this way, there is no worries at all!Mrs. Gao took her time and was about to move her mouth when suddenly Lu Xinhan murmured with tears in her eyes, "Auntie, what's wrong with you, Auntie, don't scare Xinhan! Grandma, Auntie has fainted, please hurry up and ask a doctor to come and see for Auntie Look!"
Lu Xinhan looked up at Gao with tears in her eyes. Gao wanted to let her marry the Shen family in exchange for a future for the uncle's house. Naturally, she couldn't refuse, "Mother Che, go and ask the doctor to come and see for Aunt Liu."
Xiao Gao secretly hated: This bitch really knows how to pretend!
Aunt Liu "woke up" later, seeing that Gao's side was having trouble, she started making trouble in front of Lu Congyuan again.
Lu Congyuan scolded: "The kindness of a woman! What a blessing Xinhan is to marry into the Shen family! No matter how many daughters in Beijing want to marry, they are not qualified!"
Aunt Liu couldn't believe it, "Master, Mr. Shen has been abolished! You want the third lady to be a widow for the rest of her life? The third lady is your own wife. You loved her so much when she was young, how can you bear it? "
"As a daughter of the uncle's mansion, she should contribute to the future of the uncle's mansion!" Lu Congyuan waved his hand, "That's the matter, don't bring it up again!"
Aunt Liu felt cold all over her body, as if she knew for the first time that the person next to her pillow was such a cold person, "Master, if you insist on doing this, the concubine...the concubine will die immediately!"
"Go away and die!" Lu Congyuan said in disgust.
He, Lu Congyuan, has lived a worthless life in this life. Now, a mere aunt, dare to threaten him with her life to give up this great opportunity?It's just a dream!Even if Lu Congyuan was killed, he would not miss this golden opportunity at his fingertips!
Aunt Liu fell to the ground, her whole body was cold.
After Lu Xinhan knew that there was no way to save this matter, she calmed down instead and locked herself in the room for a day and a night without coming out, scaring her personal servant girl Lily to think that something happened to her.
On the morning of the deadline set by Shen Qingzhu, Lu Xinhan opened the door, "Lily, fetch water to help me freshen up."
"Yes, miss." Lily looked up quietly, and saw Lu Xinhan's calm face, as if she had accepted the fact, she was temporarily relieved.
When Shen Qingzhu and Matchmaker Liu came, Xiao Gao warmly entertained them.
It seems that he has figured it out, Shen Qingzhu sneered, he thought how chaste he was that day, but it seems that it is nothing more than that!
Xiao Gao happily said: "Mr. Shen, I have discussed with my aunt and master. It is really a blessing for my daughter to marry Mr. Shen. Uncle Ankang is willing to form a friendship with the Shen family with two surnames!"
Shen Qingzhu said casually: "In the future, please ask the mother-in-law to take care of the son-in-law."
After the two had confirmed, the next step was for Xiao Gao and Matchmaker Liu to discuss the next engagement.
Under Xiao Gao's arrangement, Shen Qingzhu went to the Hou Mansion Garden to meet Lu Xinhan.
In the morning, after Lu Xinhan washed up, she took Lily to the second room to see Lu Xinyun.
Lu Xinyun fell into the water that day and got scratched on her face by porcelain, but she was very lucky. The wound looked scary, but it was not deep. In addition to her young age, the doctor said that she should take care of it for a year or two. Those scars can be cured. Completely removed, it will not affect future marriage negotiations at all.
"Fourth sister, does the injury on your face still hurt?" Lu Xinhan asked with concern.
"Much better, thank you, Third Sister, for your concern." Lu Xinyun struggled to sit up.
Lu Xinhan hurriedly held her down, "Fourth sister, don't move, just lie down and talk."
Lu Xinyun waved her hand, "Third Sister, I'm fine at all, but my forehead and the left side of my face are hurt a little bit, Auntie is too worried, she told me to lie down and don't move, pity I've been lying on the bed for three full days, bored They're all suffocated."
"Poor Fourth Sister." Lu Xinhan sat on the edge of the bed, holding Lu Xinyun's hand like a good sister, and said, "Fourth Sister is lying on the bed and suffers, while some people are out and about, hey, I really feel sorry for Fourth Sister value!"
One sentence aroused the hatred in Lu Xinyun's heart, "That Lu Xinyan, when my face gets better, I will definitely not make her feel better."
Lu Xinhan said with a little regret: "Silly fourth sister, I'm afraid you won't have this chance."
Lu Xinyun wondered: "How did the third sister say this?"
Lu Xinhan sighed, "Someone came to propose marriage to Lu Xinyan today, and my mother is going to agree. In order not to affect the second sister's marriage, I guess Lu Xinyan will get married within half a year at most."
Because of their relationship with concubines, the second and fourth bedrooms have no sense of existence in the mansion. No matter what happens in the mansion, they are the last to know.
In the past, Lu Xinyun stayed by Lu Xinwan and Lu Xinhan's side all day long, and the news was better. These days, she was recovering from her injuries in the house. Xiao Gao's Lu Xinwan and Aunt Liu Lu Xinhan fought each other openly and secretly in order to let each other marry into the Shen family. , no one has come to see Lu Xinyun, so Lu Xinyun has no idea about Shen Qingzhu's coming to propose marriage.
"She is a divorced woman, how can she have any good family to ask for her?" Lu Xinyun laughed disdainfully, "I'm afraid she is not a butcher, a widower, or someone with pockmarks."
Lu Xinhan smiled and said: "Fourth sister, you are thinking wrong. In the past, Lu Xinyan married the second-rank Hou Guangping Hou's family, and the old lady Gong and the Queen Mother made friends with the queen mother. At least the family with fourth-rank and above officials! With Lu Xinyan's appearance, Coupled with his prodigal temperament, he might be able to hook up a good son."
"No way?" Lu Xinyun felt incredible, "Third sister, did you make a mistake?"
Lu Xinhan shrugged, "I didn't believe it at first, but someone heard the tea maid talking about how handsome the young man who came to propose marriage is, and he is enjoying flowers in the garden of our uncle's mansion right now."
Lu Xinyun became curious, "Third Sister, why don't you take a sneak peek and tell me when you come back? I really want to know who it is that has no vision and wants to marry Lu Xinyan."
"I'm also very curious, but yesterday my grandmother said that I was about to talk about someone else, and I still didn't know anything about the middle-feeding. She was afraid that my marriage would be hindered in the future, so she asked me to go to her to study in the past two days." Lu Xinhan said: "I'll come to you This is barely squeezed time, and I must go now."
"Third sister, let's go." Lu Xinyun was rather disappointed.
"By the way, I think the injury on Fourth Sister's face has faded a lot. Congratulations to Fourth Sister! If you're bored, wear a darker colored veiled hat when you go out, so no one will be able to see it."
When Lu Xinhan walked to the door, she suddenly turned around and said this before leaving with a smile.
Lu Xinyun's heart skipped a beat when she heard this, and she called the maid, "Ding Xiang, help me change my clothes."
Ding Xiang walked in, "Miss, the Second Madam won't let you go out."
"It's okay, just wear a dark veiled hat. It's really suffocating me to be in the house for three days." Lu Xinyun has a restless temper. She used to run to Lu Xinwan's yard every day, but now she doesn't go out for three days. It's hard for her.
Ding Xiang, a maid, couldn't make the decision, so she had to change clothes and comb hair for Lu Xinyun, and even at Lu Xinyun's request, painted her eyebrows and wiped her lip balm.
Lu Xinyun chose a light lilac skirt, and put on a dark purple tulle veil on her head. The delicate facial features became more beautiful through the hazy veil, but the scars on that face were not visible at all.
It seems that the third sister is right!After Lu Xinyun dressed up, she was very satisfied with the effect.
"Lilac, it's too stuffy in the house, accompany me to the garden."
When approaching the back garden, a gust of wind blew by, Lu Xinyun shrank her neck deliberately, and said, "Ding Xiang, it seems a little cold, you go back and get a cloak."
Ding Xiang didn't doubt that she had it, but instead blamed herself for being careless, she didn't prepare a cloak for Lu Xinyun when she went out, "Miss, I will return as soon as I go, you will wait here."
Miss Bofu was admiring the flowers in the garden of Bofu. Even if she was alone, nothing would happen. Ding Xiang didn't think much about it and went back directly.
Lu Xinyun deliberately pushed Ding Xiang away, she wanted to take a sneak peek at who the man who came to propose marriage to Lu Xinyan was!
At first she thought that a man who would propose marriage to a divorced woman was definitely not a good thing, but then she thought about it, even the third prince and grandson gave gifts to Lu Xinyan, maybe Lu Xinyan really has some skills when it comes to men.
So when Lu Xinhan said that no one would be able to see the wound on her face by wearing a veil, she decided to come out and see for herself.
If the man who came to propose marriage is a very ordinary man, then she doesn't care about it, she wishes Lu Xinyan could leave the uncle's house quickly, but if he is really a good man as Lu Xinhan said, then she will destroy it, or... replace him.
Lu Xinyun was walking around in the garden by herself, her eyeballs under the veiled hat kept turning.
Not long after, a man turned the corner of the front pavilion.
The man's face was like a jade crown, and his shape was like pine and bamboo. He was dressed in a blue brocade suit, and there were several clumps of green bamboo on the sleeves of the gown, which made the man even more noble and elegant, with an extraordinary bearing.
The breeze blew up his sleeves, and the sleeves fluttered in the wind as he walked, with a graceful demeanor.
With such appearance, posture and demeanor, at first glance, he is not a son or brother of an ordinary family.
Lu Xinyun was stunned for a moment.
Shen Qingzhu saw a slender woman in front of her, dressed in light lilac, standing there delicately, like a lilac flower waiting to be picked, the sin in her heart suddenly bloomed enchantingly.
He asked the servant to back down, walked up to meet Lu Xinyun, clasped his hands together, and said gently and politely: "Excuse me, which lady is this from the Lu residence?"
The gentlemanly manner of an adult man made Lu Xinyun's heart pound like a deer, she gave a little blessing, her voice was shy and sweet, "Master, my daughter is Miss Lu Si of the Lu Mansion, may I ask who is it?"
Fourth Miss Lu?Shen Qingzhu frowned slightly. Originally, he wondered if the uncle's house deliberately teased him, and used Miss Lu to replace Miss Lu to meet him, but Lu Xinyun's last sentence made him feel relieved.
He will ask who he is, which means that the other party has no idea who he is!
The ladies of Ankangbo Mansion, because of their social circle, have never met Shen Qingzhu who belongs to the upper class, but only heard anecdotes about him.
Since the other party didn't know, of course Shen Qingzhu would not be so stupid as to tell others that he was the rumored deposed Shen Qingzhu. He said vaguely, "I'm coming down to your residence to do some private business."
Lu Xinyun heard him talk about private matters, and thought that this person was probably the man who came to propose marriage to Lu Xinyan.
Such an excellent man, how could Lu Xinyan be worthy of him?
Lu Xinyun was so jealous that she decided to use her charm to make him fall in love with her.
"Have you finished your son's affairs? If so, how about letting my little girl take you on a tour of this uncle's mansion?" Lu Xinyun took the initiative to invite.
Shen Qingzhu has been through the flowers for a long time, and he can see through Lu Xinyun's little trick at a glance. The evil beast in his heart starts to roar, but he has a gentle smile on his face, "So, Miss Lu Fourth."
Lu Xinyun intentionally walked on Shen Qingzhu's left, so that her intact right face faced him.
Along the way, her laughter was like a bell, her voice was like honey, and the crisp girlish voice kept ringing in Shen Qingzhu's ears.
Compared with young girls, Shen Qingzhu in the past preferred young women. The unique charm of young women was like a deadly poppy, which made him unable to stop.
But now that some kind of power has been lost, Shen Qingzhu feels that maybe torturing immature girls is more interesting than torturing young women.
Just like those aunts in his mansion, no matter how perverted he used to torture them, they, who had experienced many battles, could always reduce their harm and even get happiness in the end.
But for a young girl who doesn't know much about the world, Shen Qingzhu thought darkly: He will definitely torture her to the point of kneeling and begging for mercy!
"Ouch," just as Shen Qingzhu was immersed in his perverted fantasies, a soft body suddenly appeared in his arms. He raised his eyes and saw Lu Xinyun's delicate face with a little baby fat, when the tulle of the cap was lifted. And those big bright eyes similar to Lu Xinyan.
Lu Xinyun's face became hot, and she stood up straight and apologized, "I'm sorry, my lord, because of a few rashes on my face, I'm wearing a veiled hat, which made it difficult to see the way clearly, and disturbed my lord. It's really my fault, my lord. understanding."
The face under the tulle was fleeting, Shen Qingzhu didn't remember that face, but remembered those eyes, eyes similar to Lu Xinyan.
He stretched out his hand to hold Lu Xinyun's hand, and asked gently: "Miss Lu Si, can I tell you your boudoir name?"
Lu Xinyun replied shyly, "Little girl Xinyun."
Mrs. Gao was deciding on a date with Matchmaker Liu, when Shen Qingzhu suddenly came in and called Matchmaker Liu aside, and after a few words, she handed over her hands and left.
After Liu Matchmaker listened, her face, which was already red and green, was even more exciting as if she had overturned her palette.
Xiao Gao's heart was beating drums, and she was worried and changed her mind again, "Matchmaker Liu, this is a day that matches the horoscope..."
Matchmaker Liu interrupted her, "I'm sorry, Madam Ankang, Mr. Shen suddenly changed his mind and asked for a new bride."
Xiao Gao was taken aback, thinking that he had heard some rumor somewhere that he had to change it to his own heart, and when he was about to say that he could not change it again, he heard Liu Matchmaker say: "Mr. Miss Lu Si, who is famous and talented."
At first Xiao Gao thought she had heard it wrong, but after Liu Matchmaker accurately said Lu Xinyun's name, she knew that Shen Qingzhu had really changed her mind, otherwise how could she even say her boudoir's name so clearly?
It would be better to change to Lu Xinyun!Anyway, it's not Lu Xinwan!Xiao Gao did not hesitate at all, her eyes rolled, "Matchmaker Liu, I will replace it with Xinyun, but please keep this matter a secret for now."
Matchmaker Liu was also afraid that Shen Qingzhu would change her mind again, so she hurriedly said: "Of course, this is a day that matches the horoscope..."
"I'll write the horoscope now." Both of them were afraid of having long nights and dreams, so they quickly exchanged notes.
After Gao learned that Shen Qingzhu had suddenly replaced her with Lu Xinyun, she asked someone to investigate and found out what happened in the garden.
She sneered and said: "The one who is born by a concubine is one who is born by a concubine, and the adopted daughter will not be able to make it to the stage."
Although Lu Xinyun is her granddaughter in name, she has no blood relationship with her at all. Now she voluntarily replaces her own granddaughter Lu Xinhan to marry into Shen's family, which Gao couldn't wish for.
"Keep this secret beforehand! To avoid further troubles!" Gao Shi said, Lu Xinyun didn't know Shen Qingzhu before she made this mistake, if she knew about it, it would definitely be another trouble.
"Understood, aunt." Xiao Gao thought the same in her heart, "Although Xinyun is young, but Mr. Shen cannot have intercourse. In order to avoid long nights and dreams, there is no harm in marrying earlier, what do you think?"
Gao nodded and agreed, "You are right, discuss it with the Shen family, choose a good day before the year, and let Xinyun come over."
Now it's October 22, and it's only a little more than two months before Chinese New Year. Xiao Gao was overjoyed, "Understood, Auntie, Xinwanxinhan and Aunt Liu, my niece will tell them, don't leak any information."
"Well, let's do it like this." Gao said lightly.
The matter of Shen Qingzhu finally settled down, and after Xiao Gao settled down, she had other thoughts, "Auntie, this Mr. Shen came to the door twice, and the suitors changed from that cheap girl to Xin Wan, and finally suddenly became Xinyun, this incident gave my niece some ideas."
"What do you think, let's hear it?" Gao Shi didn't care.
Xiao Gao said: "Eldest Master Shen had no intention of meeting Xinyun and got his thoughts changed. If we choose some unmarried men who are suitable and outstanding from the relatives who are easy to control, and meet that cheap girl by chance, maybe she will be moved." If she wants to marry voluntarily, then after she gets married, her dowry..."
Mrs. Gao nodded repeatedly, "That's a good suggestion! That bitch has become wary of our aunt and nephew. No matter who she arranges for her, she will feel conflicted, but if she accidentally meets someone we specially arranged , voluntarily marry, but it will save you a lot of worry."
Xiao Gao happily said: "The niece will immediately draw up a personal selection list and show it to my aunt!"
When Shen Qingzhu proposed marriage to Lu Xinyun, Xiao Gao just told Lu Xinyun vaguely that there was a nobleman who fell in love with her and was secretly discussing the marriage. information.
Lu Xinyun was so happy that she danced and danced. She, who could not hide her secrets, insisted on keeping her mouth shut, not even telling her biological parents.
Using the excuse of recovering from his injuries, he stopped looking for Lu Xinwan and Lu Xinhan, and stayed in the room every day to embroider wedding dresses.
Once her mother saw her and asked her why she was embroidering the wedding dress so early. Lu Xinyun lied and said that because the embroidery work was not good, she just couldn't go out and was bored right now, so she practiced her hands.
Her mother didn't doubt that there was him, and she was glad that her daughter was sensible, so she gave him some pointers from time to time.
Since then, Lu Xinyun has been embroidering wedding dresses in her own room openly and aboveboard.
After Shen Qingzhu changed the object of marriage proposal to Lu Xinyun, Lu Xinyan received the news immediately, she raised her eyebrows, she couldn't see that Lu Xinhan had such scheming, and calmly helped her out!
"Miss, do you want to tell Lu Xinyun about Shen Qingzhu, so that they can make trouble again?" Qing Tong looked like she wanted to continue watching the show.
Lu Xinyan shook her head, "No need, the Shen family is very powerful, and Shen Qingzhu's coming to propose marriage must have got the consent of Mr. Shen. The current Ankang Manor has no choice but to compromise. Now that Lu Xinyun is willing to act as a scapegoat, this matter Let nature take its course, and end here! When Lu Xinyun marries and discovers the problem, with her temperament, she will not let Lu Xinwan and Lu Xinhan go, and there will still be a good show at that time."
"Got it, miss."
At this moment, Nanny Lu sent in a post, "Miss, the second lady of Kong Shangshu Mansion invites you to enjoy the flowers in the Kong family's other courtyard on the 25th."
The post is very delicate, exuding a faint fragrance of sweet-scented osmanthus, and the characters on it are delicate and small, which is quite solid.
"Who else did the Ankang Mansion invite?" Lu Xinyan took the post and asked casually.
Nanny Lu said: "The second and third misses have all received posts, but their posts are ordinary posts written by the steward of the Confucian Mansion, which says to invite Miss Ankangbo Mansion, and the one in your hand was sent by Second Miss Kong alone." It is said that there are no more than ten private posts, and they will not be posted unless they are close friends."
Lu Xinyan raised her eyebrows, "So this post is quite important, isn't it something ordinary people can get?"
The tone of the question was positive.
Qingtong asked curiously: "Miss, Miss Kong Er has never met you before, why did she suddenly send you a private message?"
Lu Xinyan shrugged her shoulders, indicating that she didn't know about it, but her thoughts turned to what Xiao Yichen said about the faction between the court and China.
Kong Shangshu's mansion is the family of the fourth prince, a democratic faction supported by the people, and it is also one of the most suspicious democratic faction business factions that may steal her property secretly.
But until now, apart from knowing that the other party is ambitious and has a high status, Lu Xinyan has no clue.
"Since it's here, let's settle down and watch the changes."
-
In the capital city, a certain private house.
Precious mahogany furniture, a wide variety of doubloons, warm jade, and deep-colored antiques all reflect the low-key luxury of the owner of the house.
The exquisite huanghuali screen separates a young man in a blue brocade robe from several middle-aged men in fancy clothes.
The man was sitting in the middle behind the screen, and ten middle-aged men were sitting in front of him, who were sitting upright and motionless.
If anyone from the business world reads it, they will be shocked, because these ten are all famous businessmen from the first and second genus of the Tianwu Kingdom!
Their industries involve various industries in Tianwu, such as silk, tea, rouge powder, porcelain antiques, calligraphy and painting workshops, wood, seafood, brothels...There are coffin shops!
There are four kinds of exquisite candied fruit and steaming Tieguanyin in season at each person's hand.
The room was so quiet that a needle could be heard.
It's been nearly a quarter of an hour since the master didn't say a word, the 20 people were sweating non-stop on their foreheads, but they didn't even dare to breathe.
The matter of the grain merchant Wan Jinlai had just happened, and no one dared to speak out first.
When the master said that he wanted to buy the firm under Lu Xinyan's name, everyone thought that Lu Xinyan was just a sixteen-year-old woman who had been hidden and raised by Lin Ruyue. She was an ordinary woman who had never even left the capital. Asylum of the Pinghou Mansion, wouldn't it be easy to buy the firm under her name?
Everyone is rushing to be the first, willing to take the lead and buy the shop in Lu Xinyan's own industry first!But in the end, Wan Jinlai took the lead, and he took the lead to start the acquisition battle of the grain store. After success, other industries followed suit and took all the stores in Lu Xinyan's hands under his own name, and finally The bank ended the game, implying that Lu Xinyan used the ready-made money for lending or investing, and finally made her lose everything.
The plan is perfect, if it goes well, in less than a year, [-]% to [-]% of the property in Lu Xinyan's hands can be obtained in the hands of Lu Xinyan!
As a result, this beautiful grand plan was just unfolding, and when everyone was still immersed in wonderful fantasies, suddenly came the news that Wan Jinlai had stumbled!
Not only did he lose all his ancestors' grain business, he lost tens of thousands of taels of silver to his master, he even lost his own life!
In this case, who dares to speak?If he is pointed out by his master and sent to buy Lu Xinyan's property, won't he become the next Wan Jinlai?
After the death-like silence, the man behind the screen sneered and opened his mouth with a cool and sarcastic voice, "Everyone who is the most outstanding businessman in the Tianwu Kingdom, tell me, what's next?
What should I do? "
Last time, when the man asked this question, all the people in the room were scrambling to be the first, spitting, witty, and the truth constantly, showing the air of a king who pointed out the country!
His confidence was so high, it seemed that as long as he was given a chance, he would be able to take over Lu Xinyan's property without any effort!Many of them even put forward a series of grand plans for how to develop after the acquisition is completed. In the conversation, they have already regarded those industries as their own pockets!
This time, all 20 people shrank their necks and moved their eyes from side to side, hoping that the people on the left and right would speak first, so as to relieve the embarrassment in front of them.
The man mocked slowly, "Why, it's only been half a month, and everyone has taken dumb drugs?"
Twenty people opened their mouths, smiled awkwardly, and winked at the people around them, hoping that they would speak first.
The man said solemnly and coldly: "If you can talk but don't open your mouth, what's the use of having a voice? Come here, give each person a bowl of dumb medicine, don't talk about it in the future!"
Thanks to Shuiyuan and WeiXin1f33fe9dc9 for the monthly pass!
