Farmhouse vicious stepmother, she is super fierce

Chapter 322 Extra Story: Xu (7)

Mrs. Xu wanted to salute Shen Jiayan, but was supported by Shen Jiayan. The two held hands and looked at each other for a long time. They couldn't help laughing with tears, and were filled with emotion.

Fortunately, it's not a young girl's house anymore, so I calmed down after a while.

They helped each other into the room, and a court lady withdrew after serving tea and snacks.

The two sat down as guest and host, drank tea, first asked about each other's situation, and then asked how the family was doing. Before they could finish their chatter, the maid came in to report that lunch was ready.

The two moved to the flower hall, had lunch and rested for a while.

Just looking at the white sun outside makes people dizzy, and I don't know when half of the sky is covered by clouds, but it cools down.

Shen Jiayan heard that it was also the first time for Xu Shi to come to the palace, so she simply took her to walk around the palace together.

Anyway, Chu Tianrun has no concubines in the harem now, except for the front hall where he receives ministers of civil and military affairs and critics, the various palaces and pavilions behind are unoccupied, so he is not afraid of disturbing people or breaking taboos.

The Xu family has long heard that this palace was built in the style of southern gardens, surrounded by mountains and rivers, with ten steps and one scene, and it was built with a lot of money from several generations of emperors.

Moreover, in the inner courtyard of the palace, apart from the emperor's concubine, or the concubine's natal female family members, how could the female family members of ordinary officials and eunuchs have the opportunity to meet?
Today is also thanks to Shen Jiayan's blessing, Zhanguang followed to meet the last one, which opened his eyes.

Not to mention anything else, this can also be used as a topic of conversation in the future, and it can also be admired by officials and female relatives, right?
So he didn't refuse, and agreed in a hurry.

As soon as Shen Jiayan said that he wanted to go out for a stroll, someone naturally went to arrange it.

When the two of them went out, there were little court ladies waiting on them, some with umbrellas, some with fans, some with food boxes, some with smoker vases, and some with mats... …

There were two rows behind them, mighty and mighty.

Earlier, a little eunuch went around to spread the word that the nobleman would come to visit the garden in a while, so that the idlers and others should avoid it, so as not to offend the nobleman.

As far as the courtyard where Shen Jiayan lived, there were two pairs of young eunuchs leading the way outside, and there were eunuchs and maids who couldn't avoid it by the side of the road, and they all lowered their heads and knelt on the side of the road like running water.

Not to mention Shen Jiayan, even Xu Shi had never seen such a scene before, and couldn't help being amazed that this treatment was no different from that of the empress dowager or concubine in the harem.

This palace is worthy of being repaired several times by several emperors of the Jin Dynasty. It is supported by mountains and rivers, and the houses are hidden among strange stones, flowers and trees.

With Xiao Qianzi leading the way, it is natural to visit the most famous places in the palace first.

What is Peach Blossom Spring, what is Penglai Island, what is Guanyue Pavilion, what is Tingfeng Tower, the scenery along this road is beautiful and the road is flat.

There is still a place to rest when you are tired, considering that it is extremely thoughtful.

Shen Jiayan had also visited various gardens in the south of the Yangtze River in modern times, and at this moment he couldn't help but be moved by the beauty of the scenery in this palace.

After all, it is a royal garden, which was built with the effort of a whole country. It occupies a huge area and gathers beautiful scenery from all over the country. It has the meaning of the ruined Old Summer Palace in modern times.

After shopping around for a while, Shen Jiayan was fine. She has been traveling all year round, so her physical strength is naturally good.

But after all, Mrs. Xu has been pampered and respected for many years, and she has grown up in age. She only visited two places, and her legs and feet couldn't hold on anymore, so she just held back.

It was still Shen Jiayan who was careful, and happened to walk to the edge of the lake. There was a gazebo next to the lake. There were tall old trees beside the gazebo, and the shade of the trees covered the gazebo. The breeze blew on his face, and all the sweat on his body was blown dry. Very cool.

He pointed to the gazebo and said to have a rest.

Naturally, there were eunuchs and maids rushing forward, and quickly arranged the gazebo.

Mosquito incense was lit all around, tea and snacks were placed on the table, brocade cushions were spread on the stone benches, and thin bamboo curtains were quickly hung on both sides of the gazebo.

When Shen Jiayan and Xu Shi entered the gazebo and waved their hands, Little Qianzi knew that Shen Jiayan was afraid of talking to Xu Shi, so he took the eunuchs and maids to stand far away under the tree outside the gazebo and waited.

You can see the movement in the gazebo, but you won't be too close to hear what the two are saying.

Shen Jiayan couldn't help sighing, whether the eunuchs or maids in the imperial palace who can stand out, they are all human beings.

You don't need to tell me what to do to make you feel at ease.

Sure enough, the eunuchs and maids retreated, and the relationship between the two, especially Mrs. Xu, relaxed.

Leaning on the railing of the gazebo, he couldn't help but beat his legs and said with a smile, "You've got your luck today! If I let outsiders know, I'm afraid they'll all envy me to death!"

Shen Jiayan frowned: "What are people saying now?"

Xu knew what Shen Jiayan was worried about, but felt that she was too cautious: "If you were guessing who was in the carriage before, I'm afraid everyone will know it's you today!"

"What do you have to worry about? Who doesn't know what His Majesty means? Anyone can afford to be Mrs. Fengsheng? When His Majesty made the decree, when it comes to you, everyone is an old man from my family. Thinking of your love for raising the three brothers and sisters!"

"Furthermore, according to His Majesty's arrangement, the Xuanrui Hall you live in used to be the Empress Dowager's usual residence. This implication needless to say, is clearly laid out on the surface."

"The concubines left behind by the late emperor were not very friendly with our majesty back then, and now they can stay safely in Ci'an Palace for the elderly, which is already magnanimous of your majesty. Who would dare to take the genealogy of an elder in front of your majesty? "

"Say something disrespectful! Even if His Majesty is married, look at His Majesty's intentions, I'm afraid the empress should be careful and filial! Who would dare to neglect you?"

"If you don't believe me, just look at me. I'm leaving the palace today. I'm afraid someone will post a post to invite me tomorrow, asking me to find out what you like, so I can try my best to please you!"

Shen Jiayan hastily stopped Xu Shi: "You can't talk nonsense! I'm just thinking about my past friendship, so that I am honored! The more this is the case, the more I have to be careful! Otherwise, it seems In the eyes of those people outside, isn't it a joke?"

Mrs. Xu disagreed: "According to me, you deserve all the glory now! How much suffering did you suffer for His Majesty and the three brothers and sisters? How much sin did you suffer? And you met someone like Mu Pojun , up to now, you are still alone, and you don’t even have a pensioner! Your Majesty’s current rewards can’t make up for the hardships you have suffered in those years!”

"If you hadn't taken him in back then, the three of them would have just—"

Shen Jiayan covered Xu Shi's mouth with one hand and suppressed all the remaining words.

"Speak carefully! What is this place, my sister forgot? Can you say these words?"

Shen Jiayan did not expect Xu to be so bold and dare to say such words.

Mrs. Xu also came back to her senses, breaking out in a cold sweat.

She also came to the palace, seeing the emperor's preferential treatment and respect for Shen Jiayan, Shen Jiayan didn't drift away, but she did.

Shen Jiayan saw that Mrs. Xu was awake, so she let go of her hand, and said: "Although the servants are far away and cannot be heard, sister must be cautious in her words and deeds! It doesn't matter if you leak in front of me, tomorrow you will If it is the same in front of other officials and family members, even if His Majesty will not embarrass me because of the old relationship, it will be difficult for my sister and brother."

Mrs. Xu nodded desperately, swallowed her saliva, and said with a wry smile: "Speaking of which, I am still not as good as you! Speaking of which, you are the one who enjoys the glory and wealth, and you are safe. I just follow your favor and enter the palace People who are knowledgeable are blinded by this boundless wealth! I even inflated your age, and now it seems that you are just living on dogs!"

"It's also fortunate that you can stand still, otherwise, if I say a few words, you will also float up, and you will be in trouble!"
