Splendid Book

Chapter 10 Disaster
For the full moon ceremony of the Fifth Miss of the Shen family, there were many carriages parked at the gate of the Shen residence early in the morning.Looking at the dust on some carriages, I'm afraid they came here after a long journey.After the old Duke of the Duke of Wei's mansion passed away, he wanted to return to his roots with all his heart.Therefore, Shen Lingcheng led the whole family back to Guangping Mansion, and originally kept filial piety for three years.Unexpectedly, because Zhang's daughter died of illness, she lived in Guangping Mansion for many years.

It would be considered a happy event for the Lin family to give birth to a daughter and celebrate the full moon.So many relatives and friends in the capital sent people to send congratulatory gifts.Those who were close to them even sent their family members over.At this time, the entrance of Shen's house was very lively, full of voices, horses and horses, and the servants of Shen's family at the door were all dressed in uniform clothes, and under the command of the steward, they welcomed the guests in one by one.

Lin got up early in the morning, asked her servant girl to put on makeup for herself, and changed into exquisite and luxurious clothes, even her head and face were new, and the rubies inlaid on it were the size of soybeans.

After getting dressed, she ordered the servant girl, Nian Xia, to go to the kitchen to order some of Xiao's favorite breakfasts, and she especially mentioned rose cakes, saying that Xiao's favorite cake was this.

Unexpectedly, when Nianxia went to the kitchen and ordered rose cakes, she heard Liu's mother smile bitterly and say, "Miss Nianxia, ​​it's not that I don't want to make it for you, it's just that rose cakes can only be made with rose dew. I also ordered rose cakes, so I used up the last bit left over. The purchaser said that it is out of stock in the past few days, and it will take a few days to deliver it."

This rose clear dew would cost several taels of silver for a small bottle, and it was troublesome to make.On weekdays, except for Miss San, who likes to eat, no one in the house likes it, so the kitchen is always followed by Miss San first.

When Nian Xia heard that the third girl wanted it from the yard, she naturally didn't dare to say more, but she was still suffocating in her heart.Unexpectedly, Chunliu from the Third Girl's yard also brought her maid over, said hello to Mama Liu, and took away the plate of rose cakes from under Nianxia's eyelids.

"Mother Liu, this is the full moon ceremony for our fifth girl. My grandma came from afar, and now I tell you that she can't even make a rose cake. I can't explain it to my wife." No matter what Nian Xia thought, Unable to swallow this breath, he looked at Mama Liu and said, "My wife ordered this herself."

"My dear girl, you have to help me say a few words in front of my wife. This is really not a servant's negligence, but there is really no way to do it." Liu Mama immediately pulled her to a corner and stuffed a little bit in her hand. thing.

After Nian Xia took it, she snorted, and then led the maid to carry the breakfast away.

After she left, Mother Liu spat on the ground and cursed, "What a troublesome brat."

Nian Xia, who suffered a loss, went back to the yard, naturally aggrieved.But the wife was chatting and laughing with the grandma of the Lin family, but she didn't dare to tell her.When the meal was put on the table, Mrs. Lin glanced at it and asked, "Didn't you ask the kitchen to make rose cakes?"

"Back to Madam, Miss San also ordered a rose cake, and Mother Liu said that there is only one serving of rose clear dew left, so I can't make more," Nian Xia hurriedly replied, naturally she did not forget to file a complaint.

When Lin heard this, her originally smiling expression immediately turned gloomy. Xiao, who was on the opposite side, looked at it, and quickly made a relief: "Forget it, forget it, it's just a rose cake. It's okay if you don't eat it this time."

Unexpectedly, Lin suddenly slapped the table so hard that the meals on the table were shaken.She said bitterly: "Sister-in-law, do I care about this rose cake? Although I am a decent wife, you have seen it, but in front of this little girl, I have to give in everywhere. After all, in Weiguo I am not as good as a little girl in the government."

As she said that, her eyes were full of resentment, and the maidservants around her were so frightened that they lowered their heads and dared not speak.

Seeing this, Mrs. Xiao quickly said: "Okay, okay, calm down, today is a good day for our fifth girl. It's not worth getting angry about such a trivial matter, and I have to go to the front to greet the guests later."

She tried to persuade her a few times, and Lin finally calmed down a little, but her heart was still not smooth.

Until the breakfast was finished, the servant girl told her that several aunts were waiting outside.Because of Lin's confinement before, these aunts were naturally spared from paying their respects, so these people also came over after breakfast.

After a few people came in, Mrs. Lin took a look, but she didn't see Aunt An, and said calmly, "You guys came early."

Mrs. Lin was given a seat, but no one dared to speak.

When she was about to speak, she heard the servant girl report again, and Aunt An asked to see her outside.Lin raised her hand, and after a while the maid led Aunt An in.When Aunt An saw that the crowd had arrived, her heart was pounding, she immediately knelt down and pleaded guilty: "The concubine is late, please punish me."

"You have worked hard to serve the master, so what's the point if you come late?" Mrs. Lin smiled and said gently.

But when she said this, not only did she not reassure Aunt An, but she became even more panicked.She didn't dare to get up, and continued to plead guilty: "I know I'm wrong, so I ask my wife to punish me."

"Get up, today is a good day for the fifth girl, and punishing you won't ruin this happy day," Lin said leniently, and even Xiao who was in the room nodded repeatedly when she heard it.

After Aunt An got up and sat down, Mrs. Lin turned her head to look at her and asked, "I heard that Miss Si has been a little noisy these days?"

"It's my wife's trouble. It's because I didn't take good care of Miss Four," Aunt An said tremblingly.

Mrs. Lin seemed to be a different person this time, but she was extraordinarily lenient, she just said: "Later, you will also bring out the fourth lady, many relatives and friends came from the capital today, and let everyone meet the fourth lady. "

Aunt An was naturally overjoyed when she heard that, when the fourth girl was born, it was only half a year before Zhang's death.In addition, she was born in February, which made the old lady displeased, so not only was there no big event for the full moon, but even the first year was just a small event at home.In addition, she is eighteen months old now, and she can't even speak. There are rumors in the house that the fourth girl is probably dumb.So this time Lin proposed to take Shen Yue out to meet relatives and friends, she was naturally very happy.

After a few orders from Mrs. Lin, they all dispersed.Except for Aunt An who has a child, the others naturally have no part to go forward.

This time, the banquet for the women's relatives was placed in the garden, a pergola was set up in front of the water pavilion, and a stage was set up in the open space opposite, which was comfortable and lively.So Shen Changle made a fuss early on, wanting to come over to watch the excitement.Aunt Shun couldn't hold her back, so she naturally brought her here.Luwu is the oldest and the strongest among the maidservants, so she is the one holding Shen Changle.

When the group arrived at the edge of the arbor, they saw someone on the stage, somersaulting back and forth.Luwu said happily: "The play hasn't started yet, we're not too late."

Seeing that the little maids were unwilling to leave, Gu Shun hurriedly said: "Let's hurry over and greet the wife, don't delay."

Although the little maids had regrets on their faces, they didn't dare to delay.When Shen Changle entered, she was led to Lin's side, she was sitting at the top table talking with several noble ladies.When others saw her coming, they all praised: "Hey, whose child is this, she is so cute, just like the fairy boy under Guanyin seat."

Seeing that it was Shen Changle coming, Mrs. Lin smiled and said quickly: "This is my third girl, Mrs. Fang, please don't praise her like that, she is a child, how can she stand up to such praise."

Shen Changle endured it, but he still couldn't roll his eyes at Lin.Back then, she even had the title of Demon Concubine. She was comparable to Baosi and Daji, but she was almost as famous as all the demon concubines in history.So, she really can stand anything.

"So it's the third girl, she looks so cute," Mrs. Fang boasted again.

Seeing this, Mrs. Lin turned to Nian Xia who was behind her and said, "It's sweltering here, take the third girl to the side room to rest for a while."

"Madam, I want to watch a play," Shen Changle said crisply as soon as Lin finished speaking.

When the ladies next to her heard this, they immediately covered their mouths and laughed. Mrs. Fang said with a smile, "Your third daughter is really smart. She knows how to watch operas at such a young age."

Seeing everyone praising Shen Changle, Mrs. Lin said with a light smile: "Children just like to watch the excitement."

Turning her head, she said to Aunt Shun: "You take the third girl out to the theater, don't expose the girl in the sun, so you can serve her well."

After getting the order, Shungu led Shen Changle out.As for Lu Wu and the others, their faces were full of joy, they would rather watch a play than resting in the wing room.Because of Shen Changle's status, as soon as she arrived under the awning, she brought a pineapple armrest straight back chair to a maid, and she sat on it, she was really cute.

When the time came, the ceremony of the full moon was performed, and everyone gathered together. Mrs. Lin hugged Shen Jin, and showed the child to everyone.Shen Changle couldn't bear to look at Shen Jin impatiently, she was tired of seeing Shen Jin's grown-up appearance, and she still cared to see her like this now.So she watched the play on her own, but when she was watching the play, she heard Lu Wu behind her whisper: "Aunt Shun, what's going on with the maid over there?"

Shen Changle took advantage of the situation to look over, and saw several servant girls running over in a hurry, the leader one was talking to the steward, and then the steward also became anxious.

"Could something be wrong?" Lu Wu said abruptly.

Aunt Shun immediately reprimanded in a low voice: "Speak less and listen more. How do I teach you all on weekdays?"

Shen Changle clapped his little hands, the performance on the stage had come to an end, Wu Sheng did eighteen somersaults in a row, and everyone was shocked to applaud.

At this moment, Shen Changle saw Shen Lingcheng approaching from a distance, and when he got closer, he saw the anger on his face.

When Shen Lingcheng came over, before Shen Changle could say hello, he commanded Shungu aggressively, "Take the third girl back to the yard immediately, and no one is allowed to enter without my order."

Before Shen Changle recovered, he was grounded.But now Shen Lingcheng has already hurried to the back.And Aunt Shun looked at the master's appearance, she knew something must have happened, hugged Shen Changle, and left without looking back.

When she was carried back, she was still wondering.

At night, when the servant girl went out to receive the meal, she realized that it was Shen Yue who broke her head in the wing room somehow.

When Shen Changle heard it, her mind suddenly buzzed, as if countless bees were crowded inside, the noise kept ringing, which made her unable to calm down.

No, obviously Shen Yue lived to adulthood safely, got married, and even gave birth to several children.

How could she die?she will not die.

But when she was thinking this way, another voice sounded in her mind, it was you who came back, it was you who changed everything, it was you.
