After being a widow, the empress dowager was favored by the powerful ministers

Chapter 11

Facing the person who wanted to marry, Mr. Sheng could only refuse repeatedly because of his youngest son's health. After all, the real Sheng Lang was still practicing in the temple outside.

Regarding Sheng Baoling's behavior, Shengda wanted to say something, but it was difficult to say anything.

More, because there is no chance to talk to this daughter alone.

At this time, the Shanda talents realized that their identities were different now.

This daughter seems to have been too far away from his father.

At this time, Sheng Baoling, who was pretending to be Sheng Lang, was sitting in the Peifu Shushu, listening to the lectures of old scholar Qin.

Although the old pedant Qin is getting old, he is not rigid, and often talks about a few issues, letting these young masters and girls discuss right and wrong.

Sometimes, it's about court affairs, and sometimes, it's the little things in the streets and alleys.

Seeing these boys and girls arguing endlessly, each with their own arguments, Sheng Baoling found it interesting, and often listened to it, and laughed.

Today, the old pedant Qin mentioned an incident that had caused a commotion in Bianjing recently, the young master of the Wang family and the third daughter of the Qin family.

This prince and Miss Qin San were originally married, but for some reason last year, this prince of the Wang family wanted to call off such a marriage, it is said that he had a woman he liked, and he didn't like that Miss Qin San.

The Qin family is naturally unwilling, once the marriage is retired, how will Miss Qin San live in the future?
But who would have thought that the prince was determined and went directly to the third girl of the Qin family to talk about retiring the engagement.

Miss Qin San only felt humiliated, so she hanged herself that night and wanted to commit suicide, but fortunately she was found and rescued by servants of the mansion.

After waking up, Miss Qin San thought about it too.

Because of guilt, the Wang family never mentioned the matter of retiring the engagement.

This year, the Third Miss Qin had a prosperous life, and her talent resounded throughout the city of Bianjing, and she also fell in love with the scholars who went to Beijing this year to rush for the exam.

At this time, the Qin family went to the Wang family, wanting to return the birthday card, but the Wang family refused to return it. It turned out that this young man of the Wang family fell in love with Miss Qin San, who originally wanted to retire in just one year.

This matter came and went to the yamen, because the third girl of Qin did have a marriage contract with the prince, and although the prince wanted to withdraw the engagement first, he didn't do so in the end.

Now, it was the Qin family who wanted to retire, but the Wang family refused to do so.

Moreover, the Qin family's resignation was because Miss Qin San had other lovers.

It's hard to say which one is bad.

It's really difficult, and there is no solution so far.

Old Qin was a pedant, and threw this difficult problem to the young masters and girls sitting in the school.

Sheng Baoling was thoughtful, and touched his chin with his fingertips.

Shen Cong'an was the first to speak, "The Wang family and the Qin family didn't withdraw their birthday invitations back then, so the marriage was naturally never successful. Even if this prince is wrong in every way, but this third Miss Qin married another family before she returned her birthday invitations. Come on, it’s not right to do this.”

Some people around nodded slightly, agreeing with Shen Cong'an's words.

But across a screen, Pei Wan disagreed, her voice was lukewarm, "The prince regretted his marriage before, because he had a woman he liked beside him."

Shen Cong'an: "But since ancient times, it has been common for men to have three wives and four concubines."

Pei Wan: "But because of the retiring of the engagement, Miss Qin's reputation was affected, and she almost committed suicide. Now it's hard work. Why is this prince repenting now? It's because the birthday card has not yet had time to withdraw, and the marriage that was annulled a year ago , don’t count what you said?”

Shen Cong'an choked for words.

This son of the Wang family regretted his marriage first, but then he regretted it later, he is indeed not a real gentleman.

But how can such a son offend others?

Pei Wan's gaze fell on the screen, and Shen Cong'an on the other side seemed to feel a shady, not so good gaze falling on her, and panicked.

At this moment, Lou Shang, who had never said a word, said in a deep voice, "Yu Li, if the birthday invitation is not returned, the marriage cannot be considered as a refund."

For a while, no one spoke again.

Old scholar Qin stroked his white beard, thoughtfully, and looked at Sheng Baoling who was sitting by the window.

I saw Sheng Baoling looking sideways, looking out of the window, as if he was looking at the scenery outside the window, probably distracted.

As soon as the words were on the verge of his mouth, he caught a glimpse of Pei Ci, who had changed into his normal clothes, entered the school at some time and sat behind him.

Pei Ci's fingertips landed on the table, but his gaze fell obliquely in front of him.

A few strands of wind came in from the window, and a strand of hair on Sheng Baoling's temples was slightly blown,
Looking over from here, Pei Ci seemed to be looking at the scene outside the window, but the shallow curvature of the corners of his lips was really suspicious.

Old scholar Qin stroked his beard, fixed his eyes on Pei Ci who would not be noticed by the people in the school, "Does Xuan Jin think differently?"

Pei Ci used to be a student of the old scholar Qin, so Pei Ci used to call the old scholar Qin Mr., and the latter was also a nickname for Pei Ci.

Hearing the word "Xuan Jin", Sheng Baoling's eyes paused for a moment, and he subconsciously turned his head to look, and met those dark and waveless eyes.

Today, he is still the same as usual, his face is a little pale, probably because it is winter and the cold is severe.

Inadvertently meeting Sheng Baoling's gaze, Pei Ci paused slightly with his sleeves dropped to one side, and quietly averted his gaze.

As soon as Old Academician Pei's words came out, everyone's eyes were blank, and they followed the eyes of Old Academician Qin belatedly. When they turned their heads, they caught a glimpse of Pei Ci, who had already been on the left. rear.

If Old Scholar Qin hadn't spoken, no one would have noticed Pei Ci's arrival in the end.

Due to year-round illnesses, Pei Ci looked weak, but no one dared to underestimate him.

Even Sheng Baoling was a little curious.

Pei Ci, is there any other opinion on this matter?
Facing the words of the old pedant of Shang Qin, Pei Ci's thin lips were as pale as water, and he slightly opened his mouth, "It's in vain to be a gentleman if you contradict your promise."

Those eight simple words, with an indifferent tone, were enough for everyone to understand Pei Ci's point of view.

The Wang family is not simple, even Shen Cong'an dare not offend.

But Pei Ci was obviously not afraid. This sentence might reach the Wang family's ears before tomorrow.

Lou Shang said nothing, his eyes fell on the booklet at hand.

Shen Cong'an secretly gave Pei Ci an affirmative look.

Sheng Baoling, on the other hand, was taken aback for a moment, then turned his gaze away, looked down at the table, but smiled, his eyes slightly bent.

This Pei Ci is really different from others.

And Sheng Baoling's low smile fell into the eyes of Lou Shang who raised his eyes inadvertently.

Qiaoxiaoqianxi, beautiful eyes look forward to Xi.

He couldn't help being a little absent-minded, but he quickly came back to his senses, his eyes were slightly darkened, and it was impossible to tell what he was thinking.

It seemed to be a bit displeased and annoyed because of the glimpse of Sheng Lang.

Old scholar Qin nodded, signaling for everyone to lower their eyes and read the book.

However, Pei Ci met the old scholar Qin's eyes, his thin lips were tightly pursed, and there seemed to be dissatisfaction in his eyes that had never looked superfluous.

The pale complexion made the whole person look a little more "poor".
