Xiangmen black-bellied woman

Chapter 125

Zhao Huiying's statement at the palace banquet caused many people to re-evaluate Shen Ninghua's weight. After the banquet, the princess' mansion was already filled with various congratulatory gifts.

Shen Ninghua looked at the exquisite gift boxes in the room, and opened one casually to check, a smile flashed in her eyes, the gift she opened happened to be from Jingwei Mansion Yin, this person also understood her preferences, Instead of sending any silk, satin, gold and silver jewelry like others, I used a box full of silver notes.

The last time the second concubine had an accident, he started the investigation from the Zhou family. Although the cause of death of the second concubine Zhou was not determined in the end, he accidentally investigated the evidence that the Zhou family had accepted bribes. The emperor punished him on the surface, but not long afterwards I found an excuse to raise his salary.He didn't know the truth of it, so in order to thank Shen Ninghua for his guidance, he gave him an extra heavy gift, a full 6000 taels of silver.

Shen Ninghua put down the box, and ordered Bizhu who was beside her: "Open all these gifts and register them in the warehouse. In addition, I will choose a pot of gladiolus from the greenhouse and send it to the Governor of Jingwei. I heard that her wife likes orchids very much."

"Yes, ma'am."

After giving the order, Shen Ninghua returned to Rui Xitang.

Bai Ping sent over a stack of greeting cards, with an indescribably weird expression on his face: "Miss, these posts are all sent by wives of various families, and some of them are greeting cards from the Iceman asking for a meeting. Hong Ling secretly investigated Let’s see, there are more or less young people of the right age in those wives’ families..."

Shen Ninghua smiled: "Don't you just say that these ladies are all here to say goodbye to me?"

"Miss, have you guessed it all? The servants have chosen a few, but there are a few good ones. Miss, do you want to choose one to meet?"

Shen Ninghua smiled and glanced at her: "Why, are you worried that I won't be able to marry your young lady?"

"Slaves won't worry!" Her family's young lady is so beautiful, and the people who serve them know best. Even though they see the young lady's face every day, they still stare blankly from time to time. Her beauty has surpassed gender. , Let people take a look and it will be deeply engraved in their hearts, and they will never forget it.

Shen Ninghua smiled quietly, and reached out to take a book of colored glaze next to her: "Since you're not worried, then take out those invitations and burn them."

"Burn them all?"

"Ah."

"...Yes, miss."

Chu Junyi opened the door and came in. Seeing the pile of greeting cards in Bai Ping's hand, his eyelids twitched quickly. It seems that he still wants to marry his beautiful daughter-in-law back as soon as possible. While prying the corner of the wall, his mood was all kinds of tyrannical, wishing to drag all the coveted people out of Ling Chi.

"Ninghua, what are you looking at?"

Shen Ninghua raised her head: "Why are you here? Didn't the Emperor ask you to go to the Imperial Study Room to talk?"

"Of course I came here after the talk, and the emperor just praised me, so I have nothing to say, but you, I just saw Bai Ping holding a stack of greeting cards and going out, if you let go a little bit, come to tell you Dear Iceman can break your threshold."

Without raising her head, Shen Ninghua continued to look at the scroll in her hand: "Yes."

Chu Junyi choked up, choked up and down, what does this um mean, is he willing to let go or not?

"Ninghua, let me tell you, those sons of aristocratic families look glamorous on the outside, but I don't know how corrupt they are on the inside. Take the eldest son of the Minister of the Household Department as an example. He won the third prize last year and is not married. Many young ladies They all fall in love with him, but in fact, his father and mother are almost dying of worry, he has a special liking for the maid around him, and insists on marrying a lowly servant girl."

"Really?" Shen Ninghua flipped through the pages of the book in her hand, showing no concern at all.

Chu Junyi continued to work hard: "There is also the second son of the royal family, his eldest brother has three wives and four concubines, and he has served a group of maids since he was a weak crown. I heard that his grandmother almost regarded him as a pain in the eyes and let him hang out in the backyard all day long. .”

"Ah."

Seeing that Shen Ninghua hadn't responded yet, Chu Junyi snatched the book from her hand: "There's also Zuo Yushi Zhang's family, the Minister of Rites Qi's family, none of the sons of any family is a master, and they are famous outsiders." People who are ostentatious, you must never listen to other people's words."

Shen Ninghua forcibly suppressed the smile in her heart, raised her head and seriously took over the scriptures he had snatched.

Only then did Chu Junyi realize that what she was holding in her hand turned out to be the colored glaze sutra of the Buddhist family, and his heart trembled suddenly. Could it be that what he said was too much and scared her?If his beautiful daughter-in-law sees through the world of mortals, he will die alone forever!

"Ninghua, there are still a few good sons in this family, don't think too much."

Shen Ninghua raised her eyebrows: "It's as serious as you said just now, can there be any good?"

"Naturally," Chu Junyi raised his head, "It's far away from the sky, and you're right in front of your eyes. A person my age is standing in front of you."

"You don't have a mate?"

"Of course not. The people who serve me are all men, and there are no women at all." Chu Junyi swore that he already had someone he cared about most in his heart, and other women could no longer arouse his slightest emotions.

"I've heard that in the previous dynasty, someone broke their sleeves and divided their peaches. It seems that there is no woman by your side. This seems abnormal."

"Ninghua, don't talk nonsense, I only like you." The man felt very vulgar even thinking about it.

Shen Ninghua swept across his serious face lightly, showing a half-smile expression: "Well, in this way, you are a good choice."

Chu Junyi nodded again and again: "That's natural. Don't read these scriptures. What's so interesting about it? You are a big hit today. I didn't know that you were also good at dancing."

Seeing him throwing the scriptures far away, Shen Ninghua didn't care: "I just learned from others for a few days, and I haven't even learned one-third of that person's charm. Besides, the reason why I look so amazing is because some of you The reason for the move."

"Well, you got the trick? Someone tampered with it?"

Shen Ninghua frowned slightly: "The dancers brought by Bu Jinglan are all enchanting, with a faint fragrance on their bodies, especially when they are sweating, the fragrance is more obvious. I heard that there is a secret method in the Dayue Kingdom, which uses virgins Raising them from a young age, they are not given serious food, but fed with various fascinating plants. Once these people grow up, they will have a natural body fragrance on their bodies. This fragrance has a fascinating effect and can make people fascinated .”

"There is such a magical method?" Chu Junyi was surprised.

"Yeah." She hadn't heard of it before, but read it from the manuscript left by the poisonous mother-in-law, "every woman raised in this way is a rare beauty, and usually sent to various high-ranking By the side of the officials, it is used to secretly control the power."

Chu Junyi looked serious: "Then is there a solution for this kind of woman?"

"All things generate and restrain each other. Naturally, there is a way. If there is no way, can those women be beheaded at the banquet?"

"You mean the reason why the empress spoke so harshly is because you used tricks?"

"It's not a trick, you should have noticed that the sound of the string of golden bells in my hand is extremely clear, and it can refresh your mind at first glance."

"Well, the bell rang at that time, and many people came back to their senses after hearing it."

Shen Ninghua smiled: "But for some people with keen hearing, the ringtone is too sharp, and it will arouse people's irritability, and it is difficult to control their rage."

"You mean you stimulated the queen by ringing the bell? But there are so many people present, and the queen is not the closest. How can you control it?"

"You should remember the ice soul fragrance I gave to Princess Anning some time ago. That kind of spice can help sleep, but it can improve the five senses when combined with seafood, and the favorite seafood in the palace is the empress. Other concubines or princesses don't have that much weight."

Chu Junyi's eyes were full of surprises: "Ninghua, you have figured it out." His daughter-in-law is not only beautiful, but also exceptionally smart. Thinking about it, a feeling of pride arises spontaneously, which makes him laugh.

Seeing him laughing suddenly, Shen Ninghua was a little puzzled: "Don't just talk about me, why did you suddenly expose your martial arts and hide your clumsiness for so long, if someone notices something wrong this time, they will probably trouble you."

"I'm in a lot of trouble now. The empress is beginning to suspect the Xiao family. Naturally, I can't escape her suspicion, so I might as well stand in front of everyone, which will also make people feel scruples. Most importantly, I am To marry you as a wife, it is far from enough to be the adopted son of the Xiao family."

Shen Ninghua paused, but she didn't expect to have her own reasons. She couldn't help but feel a little touched in her heart, but seeing his complacent expression, she immediately opened her mouth to attack: "Even if you are appreciated by the emperor now, you are no more than Jingwei Tongzhi, fourth-rank Although the official rank is not low, it is not enough to marry me."

"Ninghua, if my rank is high enough, will you be willing to marry me?"

Shen Ninghua looked coldly: "Did you forget the bet? You still have a good sister Xiao Huanxi. If she doesn't listen to your persuasion to marry out of Jingdu, but instead troubles me, then she will be handed over to me. You should You know, I have always been ruthless, and it is rare for her to survive, when the time comes, the Xiao family and I will be endless enemies, as the adopted son of the Xiao family, can you marry an enemy as your wife?"

Chu Junyi's gaze was firm, and the smile on his lips was sure to win: "Ninghua, you only need to think about when you will marry me, and don't think about other things. Since I want to marry you, I will naturally take care of all these things. "

Shen Ninghua turned her eyes away and snorted coldly: "It's up to you."

Chu Junyi smiled indulgently. This black girl is rarely so awkward. If he hadn't put all his attention on her, he would have missed the reddish ear tips. It seems that Ninghua is also somewhat interesting to him isn't it?In this case, no one can stop him from bringing a beautiful wife home, not even the Xiao family!
"Ninghua, that Bu Jinglan seems a little unusual, please pay more attention."

"Ok, I know."

Bai Ping knocked on the door and came in, with a very bad expression on his face: "Miss, the master is here."

Shen Dong?How did he come?
