Xiangmen black-bellied woman

Chapter 9 Finally Met Shen Dong

In the room, Bai Ping gently helped Shen Ninghua comb her hair, and Bizhu on the side held a bronze mirror sideways, allowing Shen Ninghua to look at the hairpin on the side.

"Miss is really like a fairy dressed up like this." Hong Ling said.

Shen Ninghua seemed a little absent-minded. She had been thinking about the black jade pendant that Chu Junyi had mentioned for the past two days, but she couldn't find any clues. After hearing what Hong Ling said, she came back to her senses and smiled: "You are getting better and better. Now that you can talk, shouldn't you put all your thoughts into thinking about how to praise me?"

"How could it be, miss has wronged your servant, you are born beautiful, you don't have to praise for three days." Hong Ling smiled and bent her eyes, and was stared at by Bai Bao, and then she quickly said seriously, "You asked me to pay attention to the news in the mansion, but I dare not relax at all. Today, master Xiumu, you go to pay your respects to the old lady, and you happen to meet her."

"I've been back for many days, but I haven't been able to see my father. Today, I can make amends." A sneer flashed in Shen Ninghua's eyes. She went to see Shen Dong many times, but was blocked by various reasons. Such behavior is obvious It's a blatant expression of dislike for myself.

In Shen Dong's eyes, there has always been only Shen Linghan as a daughter, but she is like mud on the ground, even looking at her makes her eyes dirty.In the past, she was saddened by this, and after she became a queen, she secretly supported the Shen family many times, making Shen Dong famous in the court, but after he took it for granted, he was still very dissatisfied with her, even after he was abolished. Among the latter, he was the first to support Baili Jinze!How does this make her not hate.

"Miss, I'm done dressing up." Bai Zhi reminded softly.

These days, Shen Dong's attitude made the servants in the mansion treat her more contemptuously. If they hadn't made preparations in advance, they would have struggled in the future.

Shen Ninghua raised her hand to caress the hairpin, suppressed the ups and downs in her heart, got up and walked towards Songtao Garden.

As soon as he entered the yard, he heard bursts of laughter coming from the hall, and one of the melodious voices was particularly moving:
"Grandmother, you are not old at all. This Dongzhu is the most graceful and luxurious only if it matches your body. If it were someone else, they would be overwhelmed by the brilliance of the beads."

Shen Ninghua walked into the hall and saw the old lady Xiao listening to Shen Linghan with a smile on her face.As soon as she walked in, she felt a sudden silence in the hall, and all eyes fell on her.

"Ninghua met her grandmother, her father, her mother, and her two aunts." Shen Ninghua curtseyed, her voice unhurried, as if she didn't feel any abnormality in the hall.

Shen Dong frowned and looked at the strange daughter in front of him, surprised at how much she had changed, but there was no joy or anger in his eyes: "Greetings to grandma, are you so procrastinating?"

Shen Ninghua's eyebrows twitched, and her eyes glanced at the calm eldest lady, it seemed that someone had put eye drops on her: "Grandmother, please don't blame me, after Ninghua got up, she saw that the flowers in the yard were blooming just in time, it was delayed some time."

"Because of looking at the flowers, I delayed the time to greet you. Where did you learn the rules?" Shen Dong's face was cold, with a trace of disgust in his eyes.

The eldest lady said: "Master, don't be angry, Ninghua has been away from home for a long time, and I think I haven't learned some rules. In two days, Mengyuan and Yulan are not going to ask the nanny to teach the rules, just invite one more. "

Shen Linghan also spoke out to persuade: "Yes, father, I think my sister saw the novelty of the garden for a while, so she lingered and forgot the time. Naturally, she won't see it anymore after watching too much."

Shen Ninghua snorted coldly in her heart, this mother and daughter are really non-stop all the time, with a few simple words, they have dubbed themselves ignorant of filial piety, no rules, and no publicity.

"Bai Lu, bring the things up."

Holding the tray, Bai Ping walked steadily in front of Shen Ninghua, and lifted off the red silk covering the tray, revealing a white jade porcelain vase.

"What is this?" Shen Dong asked with a frown.

"Back to my grandmother and father, I got up this morning and saw the flowers in the yard blooming brightly. Before the sun rose, I collected the dew on the petals, and then collected the petals that had just sprung up. It was made into a scented dew in a bottle, and it was specially given to grandma."

The second lady, who was silent all the time, asked, "It's summer now, it's getting bright early, before the sun rises...why did you get up so early?"

Shen Ninghua turned her head to look at the woman in a honey-colored floral long dress. The second wife, Su's natal family, is not weak, and she has the best appearance, and her personality is generous and straightforward without any twitching attitude, so she is extremely favored by Shen Liang, especially A mouth is particularly flattering, the old lady Xiao will ask her to accompany her when she has nothing to do, and more importantly, Su's eldest son, Shen Xuanhua, is only one year younger than Shen Xuanye, and he is calm, sharp, and outstanding in writing. Reliance, how could the second room not want to compete with the big room?
Now that Mrs. Su has spoken, it at least shows that she is helping her for the time being.Thinking about it, Shen Ninghua smiled and said: "I made my aunt laugh. Ninghua invited An to see her grandmother looking quite tired yesterday. After asking, she knew that she had been restless for the past two days, so she specially made the fragrance dew, thinking that it would be of some use to her."

"Oh? You said you did this on purpose?" Xiao Shi finally said, "Let me have a look."

Shen Ninghua took the tray and brought it to her in person.

As soon as Xiao opened the cork, a long-lasting fragrance came out. Just smelling it made people feel shocked, and he was a little surprised: "What is this?"

"I didn't have anything to pass the time in Biezhuang, so I learned some methods of perfume blending. It's a pity that I didn't learn the skills very well. I only learned a little bit, which made my grandmother laugh."

The eldest lady's face was ugly, and the gaze that swept across her was extremely sharp.Because the founding emperor of Da'an had a beloved woman who was good at perfumery, and later abolished the queen and prince for this woman, and put her son on the throne, so the art of perfumery is very popular in Anguo.When did this girl even learn it specially?
Second lady: "Old lady, the eldest lady is really filial. I have to collect dew petals and make fragrance early in the morning. I am afraid that I have been busy for most of the night."

The eldest lady's expression became even more ugly, she raised her head and winked at Shen Linghan.

"Sister, why didn't you explain why you helped grandma mix the fragrance. I almost misunderstood just now." Shen Linghan said after receiving Zhao's color.

"It's just a little spice that doesn't get in the way, as long as grandma likes it." Shen Ninghua finished speaking calmly, then turned to salute Shen Dong, "Father, I have visited many times in the past few days, but because of bad timing, I couldn't Salute to father face to face, and ask father to forgive Ninghua."

Shen Dong glanced at the eldest lady when he heard the words, and frowned: "Yes."

Xiao took out two drops of the dew, and praised with satisfaction: "The craftsmanship of Ninghua is the best I have ever seen."

The second lady stepped forward to make fun of her: "That's right, no matter where this person is, as long as he has a clear mind, he must be good."

Shen Ninghua just smiled and said nothing, the eldest room and the second room have always been at odds, the second lady's words are slapping the eldest lady in the face.

"Hey, this porcelain vase is exquisite, and it still looks familiar when you look closely. Ninghua, is this porcelain vase your mother's old thing?"

The eldest lady suddenly raised her head when she heard the words, and looked over with a pair of sharp eyes.
