Chapter 13 Something good happens
  Shen Jingya was silent for two days when she suddenly heard that Yu Qinglian was looking for a matchmaker. She quietly listened for a few words in Bihe Garden, and then went to Han Xiangru's Nuanxiang Pavilion.
  Han Xiangru was embroidering purses with an oil lamp. When she saw her coming, her face was filled with a smile: "Why are you here at this hour?"
  "Miss." Shen Jingyayi went over, hugged Han Xiangru's arm and said coquettishly: "Have you heard about this?"
  She was raised under Yu Qinglian's name, and her mother-daughter relationship with Han Xiangru has remained very good over the years.
  Han Xiangru thought she was talking about Shen Heshan and Shen Zhuoxi's diarrhea. She put down her needle and thread and snorted coldly: "Yu Qinglian looks at Wenwen as weak and generous."
  "I didn't expect that she is no different from me secretly. She is just sanctimonious. What makes her even more angry is that your father actually protected her when the truth was so obvious!"
  "It's not about father and the fool having diarrhea, it's just a misunderstanding." Shen Jingya looked around and whispered: "Mom just invited a dozen matchmakers to come to the house."
  "What do you mean?" Han Xiangru frowned and said thoughtfully: "Invited to you? You have just turned fourteen, it is impossible to say goodbye so early..."
  The words stopped abruptly.
  Shen Xinyu was the number one socialite in Shengdu, and she was famous for her talents. The man who wanted to marry her was enough to get through the gate of the Taishi Mansion, so she obviously didn't need a matchmaker.
  Shen Jingya was not old enough to marry, and only Shen Zhuoxi, who was about to be fifteen, was left.
  "What the hell is Yu Qinglian doing?" Han Xiangru was confused and muttered: "Everyone knows what's going on with that fool, and he just did the scandal of climbing onto the prince's bed."
  "Any normal person would never marry someone. Yu Qinglian knows how to show off her generosity and virtuousness."
  Seeing that she hadn't figured it out yet, Shen Jingya was already a little impatient: "I just listened to my mother's wishes. The matchmaker will find the confirmed candidate and then announce it at the mid-year banquet."
  "Moreover, this year coincides with the 100th anniversary of the founding of the country by our ancestors. The mid-year banquet was extremely grand, and the prince and a group of princes attended."
  "What does this have to do with the matchmaker proposing to that fool?" Han Xiangru was stunned: "You just have to behave well. Are you still afraid that the fool will compare you to you?"
  "My mother always values ​​face. On such an important occasion as the Mid-year Banquet, she worries about outsiders' opinions. The in-law she found for Shen Zhuoxi must be of good value." Shen Jingya didn't know what Shen Heshan and Yu Qinglian were planning, so she bit her lips and said.
  "I teased Shen Zhuoxi earlier. She can talk. If she exposes those things to outsiders in the future, wouldn't it ruin my reputation?"
  Only now did Han Xiangru understand her worries.
  In the past, Shen Jingya bullied Shen Zhuoxi, and everyone was used to it. Shen Zhuoxi couldn't step out of the Grand Master's mansion, couldn't speak, and had no place to complain.
  Although she is still a fool, there is no guarantee that she will inadvertently tell the story about the Taishi Mansion like she did when she testified against Grandma Wang.
  Han Xiangru was impulsive and immediately said: "I will take care of this matter, and you can be a good third lady with peace of mind."
  The news of the matchmaker's visit soon spread.
  Aunt Ju heard people talking when she was getting water for washing up. She hurried back to Xiaoxiang Tower and said, "Miss, the eldest lady has invited many matchmakers. All the slaves and maids together may have to propose marriage to you. What should I do?"
  "Ha." Shen Zhuoxi turned on the oil lamp and said with an unclear smile: "It's really hard for the eldest lady. My reputation outside is so bad, and she still wants to marry me off."
  "You still have the heart to joke." Grandma Ju couldn't laugh at all, she was so anxious that she was sweating: "What if the first lady finds you a crooked melon, a cracked jujube, or a cruel and evil person? !”
  "Then let's see if she can find it." Shen Zhuoxi walked to the window, looked at the moonlight outside, and asked, "When will the old lady come back?"
  The real person in charge of the back house is the old lady.
  This year is the 30th year since the death of the old lady, and the birthday has come. The old lady took the fourth daughter of the family, Shen Xinjiao, back to the old house to pay homage to the ancestral graves, and also prayed at Linghe Temple.
  "Calculating the time, it's only a few days." Aunt Ju hesitated and said, "It's very unlikely that you want the old lady to deal with the eldest lady. There is some disagreement between the two."
  "But the old lady likes the fourth lady sent by the eldest lady very much. For the fourth lady, the old lady will definitely not fall out with the eldest lady. Besides..."
  Speaking of this, Grandma Ju lowered her voice: "The old lady doesn't like you either."
  Shen Zhuoxi smiled and said nothing.
  In the middle of the night, the yard was silent. After Grandma Ju fell asleep, Shen Zhuoxi prepared to go to the abandoned yard with a dry well as usual.
  When he opened the door, he was startled by the dark figure standing at the door.
  After looking carefully, I realized that the figure looked familiar, it was actually Yu Mu!
  Yu Mu's voice was full of disgust, and he looked inside under the moonlight: "Second Miss, the yard is in ruins, but the house is also like this."
  "It would be nice to have some accommodation." Shen Zhuoxi was afraid of waking up Grandma Ju, so she whispered: "If we didn't meet by the ancient well, why are you here?"
  "Take you out." Yu Mu didn't think anything was wrong, and said with teasing: "I'm still looking forward to hanging out with you. What if I don't heal your injury soon?"
  "It's good to know." Shen Zhuoxi was not polite to him: "If I can leave the Grand Master's Mansion, I won't bother you."
  "Yes." Yu Mu said seriously to the moonlight outside: "The glow of the waxing moon is a good sign. Good things will happen to you in the past few days. Maybe your reputation will improve."
  Shen Zhuoxi was very surprised: "You also understand this?"
  Starting last night, a less obvious rainbow ring appeared around the full moon, which symbolizes auspiciousness in the astrology.
  However, moonlight and astrology usually refer to the general situation, not an individual, and Shen Zhuoxi didn't care.
  "Yeah?" Yu Mu only found out after Si Tianjian mentioned it. He raised his eyebrows and said, "Do you also know this tone?"
  "I happened to hear someone say it." Shen Zhuoxi smiled and walked out: "Don't you want to go out? You still have to make medicine, so don't delay."
  Knowing the solution to Ghost Powder is a coincidence, and knowing the stars is also a coincidence. This coincidence is too many.
  This second lady, who is completely contrary to the rumors, seems to have many surprises?
  Yu Mu became more and more interested, took a deep look at her back, and took a few steps to catch up.
  Just like yesterday, I arrived at Yi'antang, made some medicine, took the medicine, and then returned to the Grand Master's Mansion.
  She went to bed too late, so Shen Zhuoxi ate something hastily in the morning, and then leaned on the couch to catch up on her sleep.
  Just as she fell asleep, Grandma Ju came in in panic from outside and exclaimed: "Miss, Miss, it's not good!"
  "What's the matter?" Shen Zhuoxi's eyes were so sleepy that he couldn't open them at all: "The sky is falling and there's still a big guy holding it up. I'll take a nap first."
  "Don't sleep." Aunt Ju was full of excitement, pacing back and forth happily: "Someone is coming from the palace, saying that the Queen Mother wants to see you!"
  Queen Mother?
  See her?
  Shen Zhuoxi suddenly woke up: "After Si Tianjian deduced that I was the reincarnation of the demon star, the Queen Mother has never seen me again. What do you want to see me for now?"
  "I don't know, I just sent the lunch box to the kitchen. Everyone was talking about it." Aunt Ju rummaged in the closet and said, "It's the first time in so many years that we have an audience. We must dress decently."
  Not only Shen Zhuoxi, but also Shen and Shanyu Qinglian didn't know what the Queen Mother was doing when she saw her.
  Shen Heshan sat without saying a word.
  Yu Qinglian glanced at him and ordered Nanny Hua to hand a piece of silver to the eunuch who sent the message: "My father-in-law, I wonder what the Queen Mother wants to see our second young lady for?"
  "You also know about the second lady's situation. You told us so that we can be prepared."
