Xiangmen black-bellied woman

Chapter 12 Are You Aren't Afraid Your Hands Will Rot?

Shen Dong is a prime minister who is deeply trusted by the emperor, plus he is good at management, and he is not close but not estranged with several princes in the court. Therefore, when Shen Linghan held a banquet, many official ladies came spontaneously. After all, this The Shen family's daughter-in-law is both talented and beautiful, and she is well-known in the capital, so there is no harm in making friends with her.

Today's banquet is different from other times.The eldest daughter of the Shen family, Shen Ninghua, is back. People don't talk about it on the surface, but they have long been thinking about watching the show in their hearts. I don't know how Shen Linghan, the second lady, will deal with herself?

Because of the hot weather, the banquet was appropriately placed in the pavilions beside the garden. Shen Ninghua walked over with Qingque and others. From a distance, she saw silk curtains hanging around the exquisite pavilions. The blowing strokes sway, against the background of the beautiful girls who are talking and laughing, or silent, the whole scene is like a painting.

"Who am I? It turns out that the eldest lady of the Shen family is here. I really didn't recognize it just now. After all, this jet-black bird suddenly turned into a colorful parrot. I'm afraid no one will be able to distinguish it clearly." Seeing Shen Ninghua Arriving, a woman surrounded by the crowd suddenly spoke out.

Following her words, everyone turned their attention to Shen Ninghua, pinching the handkerchief to cover their lips and talking and laughing softly, their expressions were full of jokes.

Seeing the dress she was wearing, contempt flashed in Shen Linghan's eyes, and then quickly disappeared.

A sharp light flashed in Hongling's eyes, and her angry face turned slightly red.

Shen Ninghua didn't seem to hear it, she stepped forward without any disorder, raised her eyes and looked at the speaking woman from head to toe.She is Shen Linghan's cousin, Miss Zhao Rujun, the niece of the current queen Zhao Huiying, she is not as good as Shen Linghan in terms of appearance, but under the gorgeous beaded hairpin and jade decoration, she has a more refined and noble beauty .

"I don't know where the bird my cousin mentioned is, but I'm curious too."

Seeing Shen Ninghua's smiling face, Zhao Ruyun sneered: "Don't you know there is a saying that is far away from the horizon and close in front of you? Oh, I forgot, you are living outside and have no education. You should have no knowledge."

Shen Ninghua's smile remained the same, and she didn't care about her sarcasm at all: "Dragon begets dragon and phoenix, father is the prime minister, and his character is as good as pine. Naturally, all the daughters of my Shen family are well-educated. Cousin, you are so knowledgeable! , I should understand after thinking about it, right?"

Zhao Ruyun sneered, and looked at Shen Ninghua with disdain: "The daughters of the Shen family are naturally beautiful and well-educated, but it's a pity, who knows if there will be a rotten fish eye in these jewels?" It's like mud, so it's hard to say if it's Prime Minister Shen's daughter!

Shen Ninghua's face suddenly turned cold, and she looked straight at Zhao Ruyun with a pair of black eyes: "Cousin, what does this mean? Could it be that the Zhao family is so powerful that I have no one in the Shen family? I want to listen carefully. Where is the fish eyeball my cousin said! If my cousin is right, I can go and tell my father."

Zhao Ruyun has always looked down on herself, and later married Major General Sima Wen, and even relied on the power of the Sima family to taunt her. At the beginning, in order to help Baili Jinze win over the courtiers, she had to bear it in every possible way. There is no need to endure it.Zhao Ruyun's personality is arrogant and impulsive, and she will speak without choice if she is given a little guidance. Even if there is a Zhao family, such a person is not to be feared.

"Tell it to uncle? It's a big gesture, so you should go and talk. I also want to ask uncle, but you didn't even salute me when you saw me. Is this your upbringing?" Zhao Ruyun slanted looked at her contemptuously.

Shen Ninghua bowed immediately after hearing the words: "I've seen my cousin."

Satisfied, Zhao Ruyun turned her head and looked at the young ladies who were watching the excitement around her: "Heh, look, she looked like a country girl just now, but now she knows how to keep etiquette."

Shen Ninghua raised her eyes, her eyes were cold and gloomy, straightened up and said: "Cousin, I came from the countryside, but you are a boudoir lady who was educated seriously, so you should be well-mannered. Don't tell me you don't return my greetings at this time ?"

"Return the gift? What is your identity, can you afford me to return the gift?"

Shen Ninghua's expression turned cold: "Then I would like to ask my cousin, why is my cousin's status higher than mine? Do you have a title or a royal order? You are both the daughters of each family, why am I not as good as my cousin?" Noble? Or cousin, do you mean that my Shen family is inferior to your Zhao family?"

Seriously speaking, the status of the Zhao family in the court is indeed much higher than that of the Shen family. After all, there is Zhao Huiying, the empress, but in terms of official positions, the heads of the two families are both first-rank officials in the court, and their status is quite equal.No matter how stupid Zhao Ruyun was, he would not move the empress out in front of so many people to shock the scene.

"You..." Zhao Ruyun's eyes were blazing. As the daughter of the Zhao family, she was always sought after. How dare this lowly girl question her so rudely, thinking of raising her hand, she slapped Shen Ninghua in the face.

Qingque's eyes froze, just about to make a move.Shen Ninghua has already raised her hand to grab Zhao Ruyun's wrist.

"Shen Ninghua, you are bold!"

"Oh, cousin, don't forget that this is the Shen family. You, a cousin, are not qualified to fight with my daughter-in-law of the Shen family!" Shen Ninghua chuckled, slowly holding Zhao Ruyun's with her weak and boneless hands. The finger was slightly close to her ear, and the voice was as cold as ice, "Cousin, don't touch me casually, what should I do if the hair on your finger itches and rots?"

Zhao Rujun's eyes widened, and he felt a chill rising from his back, and even his fingers were itching slightly. He was startled in his heart, and threw Shen Ninghua's hand away, and looked at her in disbelief: "You...you ..."

Shen Ninghua looked at her with a smile, her expression becoming more neither humble nor overbearing.

Seeing that Zhao Ruyun didn't embarrass Shen Ninghua, Shen Linghan felt depressed, but she had no choice but to ease the atmosphere: "Since my sister is here, please sit down quickly. Just now we were thinking about painting with the theme of spring, so what should we do together when my sister comes?" ?”

Shen Ninghua smiled: "My cousin also said just now that I don't have much knowledge, so it's better to be honest and watch from the sidelines."

Zhao Ruyun gritted her teeth in her heart, glared at Shen Ninghua viciously, wiped the wrist she just touched with a handkerchief, turned around and strode out, how could she make Shen Ninghua so proud, hum, she couldn't deal with her, and there was still aunt here Well, still can't cure this cheap hoof?

Zhao Ruyun's footsteps were fast, but she didn't want to. Someone turned out next to the rockery and almost bumped into that person. Annoyed, she wanted to yell at him, but when she raised her head, she froze.

The man in brocade clothes has a handsome appearance, and his starry eyes are filled with a warm light like spring:

"Miss, are you alright?"
