Jin Tingjiao

Chapter 53
With Shen Ruopu speaking, Shen Xi will soon go to Sanfang to pay the money.

When Ji waited for her to walk out the door, her pink face sank.

"He is their second wife, and now he has to pay money to the public even for the last grave!"

Shen Yan smiled and snuggled up to her, leaned half on her body, and said: "Why should mother be angry with her? Didn't you say it all, there is always a time for her to give in?

"That's all for her, it's hard to make things happen. But there is something I just heard about. Does mother know why the eldest son of the Lin family will go with her?"

Ji looked at her.

Shen Yan sat up, picked up a candied fruit and ate it first, then said unhurriedly: "That's because Mrs. Lin also came to the house when Mrs. Lin came to visit the house today. And mother must not know, Mrs. Lin I came here because of my elder sister's wedding."

"Marriage?" Ji frowned suddenly.

Shen Yan looked at her: "Big sister is already sixteen, it's time to discuss marriage.

"Don't mother know that when they came back this time, apart from rushing about the transfer of the eldest uncle, there was also the marriage of the eldest sister?
"The matchmaker that Mrs. Lin told the elder sister, the man is the nephew of Concubine Yang's natal family in the palace, and the son of the Yang family."

Of course, the Ji family knew why the Huang family was staying in the capital. Didn't they stay in the capital for so long in the name of discussing marriage?

But she really didn't know that what Ding shi told Shen Xin was the son of the Yang family.

Shen Yan hugged the candied fruit jar, raised her lips to look at her and said: "The Yang family has made great achievements in protecting the emperor in the past, and the aunt and wife in the mansion are also the concubine in the palace.

"Although the late emperor is gone now, the Empress Dowager also received concubine Yang to serve her for half a year. Now that the Empress Dowager is behind the curtain to listen to the government, Yang Taifei's decency can be described as extraordinary.

"The Yang family and our Shen family are well matched. Seriously speaking, I'm afraid it's a little stronger. Although they are not from the Zanying family, they have a wide network of people after all. This is a good family."

She picked a candied peach and put it in her mouth.

Ji frowned, of course she knew what kind of family the Yang family was.

It's not that she is jealous of Shen Xin's good marriage, it's just that if Shen Xin's marriage is settled, the eldest wife will definitely not leave for the time being.

And when the time comes to get married, Shen Chongyi will definitely return to his residence.

With the contacts of the Yang family, they will definitely be able to help Shen Chongyi in the matter of calling back.

——Since they have become in-laws, who would not want their in-laws to walk together?Only by helping each other in the end can we advance and retreat together.

Even if we can't help now, it will be a matter of time.

Shen Yan's words really made her put Shen Xi's matter aside.

There is nothing more important than her seizing the power in the mansion. Shen Xin's marriage cannot but let her take care of it.

"How do you know?" she couldn't help asking.

Shen Yan chuckled lightly: "Sister Xin, because she was able to go outing with Lin Pei, made Nuan Yuzhai a mess, how could I not know?"

After she finished speaking, she continued: "It's a broken mountain valley, I don't know where there is to go.

"Besides, Lin Pei is going there for Sister Xi, not for her, but she is rushing to act as a trick."

Ji looked at her: "You know everything."

Shen Yan smiled and didn't speak.

At that moment, Lu Ping lifted the curtain and came in, saying: "The old man has a message from someone that the second girl and the fourth master will go to Xing'ergou to visit the grave soon, because the eldest girl and the uncle will also go, so the third girl, the second master and the three Grandpa will also go together."

A candied fruit was stuck between Shen Yan's lips and she couldn't smile anymore.

It was the next morning that Shen Xi received the news that all the young masters and girls of the whole house had gone to Xing'ergou.

Obviously she didn't intend to go to so many people, but under Shen Ruopu's instructions, she couldn't disobey.What's more, Shen Xin has already gone, there are no more than two.

It rained for two days, and the day before Qingming, the dark clouds gradually dispersed, and the golden light of the sun shone dazzlingly on the glazed tiles on the roof.

The newly planted flowers and trees in the yard are moistened by the rain, and they are so energetic that they seem to be ready to jump up against the wind at any time.

Peach blossoms are falling all over the ground, and new buds are blooming on the branches. Everything shows that this is perfect for traveling.

Just after lunch, Lin Pei sent someone to see Miss Xi by name.

"Our young master said that he will arrive at the mansion on time tomorrow. See you there or not."

Shen Xi quite responded to this sentence.

She set a departure time here, and Fuxiangyuan and Xiexiangyuan started packing up.

Because Shen Di and the others are men, they are not willing to stay in the mansion. Although they are not very interested in outings, they are always happy to be able to go out for a stroll.

Shen Xin didn't need to say anything.

The only one who was depressed was Shen Yan, but after two days of embarrassment, she had already accepted the reality.

On this morning, just after Shen Xi and Shen Liang had breakfast, Lin Pei walked in quickly from the courtyard gate.

I saw him still dressed in white, wearing a thin silver-gray cloak, his hair was all knotted on the top of his head, tied with suet white jade hairpins, walking on the ground under the corridor and falling red in the wind, he was such a rich man.

"I brought you Chang Yuxing's snacks, you can use it to kill time when you are bored on the road."

He took two stacks of wrapped pastries and snacks from the servant and put them on the table, and then automatically handed the two bundles to the servant behind him.

Shen Xi didn't know what to say, so he stood for a while, then turned his head and said to Pearl, "Pay the pocket money to Mr. Lin."

Zhenzhu, who had been stunned for a long time, quickly lowered her head and turned over her purse.

Lin Pei's face froze with joy, his face was a little ugly: "You look down on me like this?"

Shen Xi pressed his fist to his lips and coughed lightly.

Before Shen Xi could speak, Lin Pei glanced at her and strode outside.

Shen Xi turned around and greeted Aunt Pei: "Let's go too."

It's good for him to go away in anger, so as not to do anything that will cause her trouble in the future.It's better for him to be angry until they come back from Xing'ergou - no, no, it's better to just ignore her, even better.

Didn't Pearl say that after Shen Chongxin's accident, he met them on the street and didn't even want to say hello to them?
She deserved to speak out on behalf of the original owner.

Xing'ergou is located in Heihe Town, twenty miles away from Beijing.

The Shen family was also in the town in the early days, and they were just country gentry at first, but later they gradually prospered and started a business.

Later, he studied and became an official, and gradually squeezed into the official career. Although he was tepid, he finally realized that he was becoming noble step by step.

However, the Qin and Zhou dynasties both believed in returning fallen leaves to their roots, so the Shen family's ancestral cemetery has naturally remained in Xing'ergou.

Shen Xi captured information from Pearl and the others' conversation along the way, filling in the gaps in cognition.

Before she came here, she thought it was just a small ravine as Shen Xin said, but after driving for more than half an hour, the carriage turned from the post road to a side road, bypassing several farms, and gradually the field of vision became wider. .

There are farms along the way, the road is full of people, and there are many houses in the villages on all sides.
