Chang’an’s First Beauty

Chapter 86

Time flies like a white horse, and it flickers to July.

Since Jingzhao Mansion captured the person who was carrying the disease in time, the plague finally did not affect Chang’an. At the same time, another major event occurred in Beijing.

Zheng Jingzhao’s heart disease attacked again. After learning that he could not cure him, he could only cultivate himself in meditation, he took advantage of Lu Yan’s meritorious service this time and proposed to resign.

Lu Yan took the seat of Jingzhaofu Yin on the eighth day of July.

Twenty-four years old, with heavy power in hand, the third grade official.

Young is enviable.

On the other side of Luoyang, the governor Yao Zheng colluded with the Turks, and the evidence was conclusive, and the family was ransacked. The Yao family was full of skulls hanging on the gate, and all the gold and silver treasures in the house were shipped back to Kyoto.

The Sixth Prince asked himself to go to Luoyang to treat the epidemic. Although this action encouraged the people, during the treatment of the epidemic, the Sixth Prince himself was unfortunately infected with the plague. The accompanying doctor held his head and saved his life day and night. When the saint heard about this, although he did not call him back, he also sent the imperial medical office to Luoyang.

Queen Xu sighed in the Anhua Hall…

At the moment when the post of Shangshu from the Ministry of Industry was suspended, Li’s auntie seemed to be more pampered. On the day of her abortion, He Wanru cried so heartbreakingly that she cursed her auntie as an unfamiliar fox, and Wen felt sorry for herself. The grandson cheered on the sidelines.

Seeing Wen’s sadness and tears, Li Di couldn’t add more fuel to the fire, so he promised He Wanru that she would give her another child and told her not to get angry with her sister-in-law.

There are three reasons why Li Di loves his sister-in-law. One is naturally due to the prowess of Auntie’s fascination, which really fascinates men, and two? The sister-in-law is Xu Hou’s person. There are more than one or two secret letters from Lanning Garden. Li Di’s petting her and being close to her is tantamount to showing loyalty to Xu Hou.

As for the third and most important point, he wanted the position of Shangshu in the Ministry of Engineering.

The elegant courtyard was quiet, the first ray of sunlight poured into the room in the early morning, and Mrs. Shen opened the curtain of the bed and dropped his shoes to the ground. Qingli waited for her to wash, “The girl is a little pale, can I use some rouge?”

Shen Jia shook his head.

At this moment, a maidservant named Orange Leaf hurried over.

From the bronze mirror next to the makeup girl, Shen Jia saw her wanting to speak but stopped, and said calmly: “Let’s talk.” Those two courtyards are like singing every day.

Tang Ye took a deep breath and said, “Yesterday, Aunt He was ill and had a high fever overnight. Just now Lang Jun went to visit, but Aunt He suddenly yelled to eat red bean cake…”

Qingli said: “Go on.”

Tang Ye lowered his eyebrows and said, “Lang Jun has driven to the East Market.”

Qingli’s eyes stagnated, and immediately turned to see her girl. There is no other reason. Li Di did many things for Shen Jiao in the past.

Recalling that when the Yunyang Hou Mansion was still fine, let alone buying some red bean cakes in the East Market, it was that Shen Hao blinked more than before, and Li Di had to hold up her face and check it carefully.

I remember that one winter day, Shen Hao caught the wind and cold. Shen Hao didn’t want to get sick to him, so he sent someone to tell him that he didn’t need to come here, but Li Di had to take care of her personally. It was all by himself to give medicine to him, and the more Shen Hao let him go, the more he was playing tricks.

So early the next morning, Li Di began to sneeze and cough, but Shen Hao gradually got better.

Shen Hao asked him if he was uncomfortable.

He said, it’s worth it.

I have to say that Li Di seems to be a man who is born to coax women. Although he is not handsome and incomparable, his affectionate eyes, which makes people mistakenly think that he is deeply rooted in love, is like a good look. A sword can easily break a woman’s defense.

Qingli looked worried and murmured: “Girl…”

Shen Lao pinched her earlobe, put her ear stalk on the mirror, and laughed in a low voice: “It’s okay.” It was Li Di who taught her that it turns out that a smile that reaches the bottom of her eyes can also deceive.

No one deserves her to believe anymore.

——

Mr. Shen went to the West Market in the afternoon.

Pushing open the door of Baixiangge, walking in, just to see Shen Zhen bend over the flowers.

Shen Hao stepped forward and put the two land deeds in front of Shen Zhen.

Shen Zhen took it and glanced at Shen Ao in surprise, “Big sister, this is not…”

“Well, I got my dowry back. Last time I heard you say that you want to open a tea shop in the East City. I see, these two shops are in good locations.”

Shen Zhen took it, took a look and said: “This position is indeed excellent.”

Shen Jia looked at her looming Li Mao and said, “For you, take it.”

Although Shen Zhen was unwilling to accept Lu Yan’s money, she did not resist the shop Shen Hao gave. So after hearing this, Lu Yan tugged Shen Zhen’s ears and questioned her: “If you work together, you can treat me as an outsider, right?”

Shen Hao sat down, poured a glass of water on her own, and asked, “Why are you still busy?”

Shen Zhen said: “I have almost saved up the money in my hand, so I want to find the former housekeeper Lu of the Shen family and ask him to help take care of it.”

Shen Hao nodded, “This is great, after all, you can’t do everything yourself. If you need anything, just tell me.”

Mu drum sounded, and Shen Hao returned to the house. As soon as she stepped into the door, she saw two maidservants turning around and running. One ran faster, and the other was directly held by her.

“Look up and talk, why did you run when you saw me?”

The handmaid slowly raised her head, and after facing Shen Jiao, she knelt down directly, “Madam, forgive the sin, Madam punish the slave and maid.”

Please be punished even if the crime is not determined, the intention of delaying time is too obvious.

Shen Hao walked past her and went straight back to her yard.

She raised the curtain, walked into the inner room, waved her hand, the censer was smoke-filled, and her nose choked.

Aunt Shen sat on the couch and looked around. She didn’t find any strange place, but the moment she lowered her head, her whole body was breathless.

He covered his mouth and retched.

“What’s wrong with the girl?” Qingli said nervously.

Shen Hao’s palms were shaking. She pointed to the bed and said, “Replace all these beddings, immediately.”

Qingli followed prestige.

I found that there were not only a lot of hair on the side of the jade pillow, but also traces of rouge on the edge of the bedding.

Qingli called the other people in the yard and said angrily: “Who’s been here just now?”

The people who knelt on the floor in the house shook their heads one after another, either saying that they were in a hurry, or that they had gone to wait in the wife’s room.

“Who is the master of this yard?” Qing Li said.

“Okay.” Shen Jia looked at them, clutching his chest and said: “You all go down.”

The hair, rouge, and the smell of the room all explain that Auntie Li and Li Di did that thing just now in Shen Jiao’s room… Maybe Li Di was just for excitement and didn’t want to hit Shen Jia’s face. However, Shen Jia could guess what idea Auntie Niang made.

Everyone is greedy. Li Di wants the position of Shangshu who is within reach, and so does her concubine, and she doesn’t want to be a concubine in peace.

This is a provocation to the mistress’s eyes.

After the Haishi, Li Di appeared at the gate of Shen Hao’s courtyard. Just as he was about to enter, he was stopped by Qingli.

“Why stop me?” Li Di frowned.

Qingli bowed and said, “The girl has a disagreement between her stomach and her stomach.

Due to a guilty conscience, Li Di stopped.

“But did you ask the doctor?”

“The girl said you don’t need to invite it, it will be fine after tonight.”

Li Di squinted at Qingli, “How long have you been to Li Mansion?”

Qingli said: “It’s been more than four years.”

“For more than four years, you still call her a girl?” Li Di said lightly: “She let it?”

“Slaves and maidservants made a mistake, and I won’t do it again in the future.”

“If you ask me to hear the word girl again, you don’t have to wait in Li Mansion, remember?”

“The slave and maid will keep it in mind.”

Shen Hao sat in front of the makeup girl, facing the bronze mirror, looking at her face in a daze, her throat was choked with a breath, she couldn’t breathe out, and couldn’t swallow it down.

Qingli said: “If the girl bears enough, the servant girl is willing to give up her life…”

“Qingli, I’m fine.”

“The maidservant will take down this bed tomorrow and replace it with another one!”

“No need.” Shen Lao said slowly, “Just sleep like this.”

The candle went out, the room was dark, and the moonlight shone straight down, falling on the stone steps in front of the porch. The plain light and shadow were depressed and gray.

Shen Hao lay flat on the couch and slowly closed his eyes.

In fact, she should thank the auntie.

Thank you for throwing this straw at her, which gave her the courage to take risks.

It was another early morning, Shen Hao freshened up, and after ordering rouge, she said to Qingli: “Call someone to prepare a car, I’m going to Dali Temple.”

Shen Hao knew exactly what the man wanted. If Li Mansion were compared to a wolf’s den, then Dali Temple would be a tiger’s den.

If it is inevitable to fall into the tiger’s den, she does not want to become the prey in his mouth, allowing him to bite, but there is no way to fight back.

Qingli helped her down from the carriage.

She wore a plain white water gauze skirt with layers of begonia embroidered with gold threads on the skirt, like a microwave from the sun on the water, and the amber collar was exposed on her chest. Her slender snow-white neck and rouge ears shook gently with the shadows.

Shen’s daughter is outstanding in appearance, well known in Chang’an.

But even so, Zhou Shuan was still dazzled by the amorous feelings and charms in the corner of her eyes.

For a moment, the dark prison seemed to flood into the sky…

Zhou Shuan lowered his eyes and stood up, pursing her thin lips to open the prison door for her, and when she brushed out, Shen Hao softly said to him thank you.

After half an hour, she came out of the cell, with no one around.

She didn’t understand why the key to her father’s cell must be placed on Dali Siqing’s body. She didn’t understand why the jailers around would leave quietly when she came.

Now I understand.

Zhou Shuan got up and said, “I will send you out.”

Shen Hao walked side by side with him, suddenly stopped, lifted his eyes and fixed on the man’s resolute and serious face, Zhu Qiqi lightly said, “Zhou Shuan, with the word Rongjun, from Jiaxing, Suzhou?”

Hearing her calling her own name, Zhou Shuan’s mouth was filled with a smile, his eyes became firm and clear.

“Check me?”

The man’s voice is deep and round.
