Chapter 92 Mr. Shen
When Shen Qingzhou arrived at the backyard of Xiayou Tower, he whistled and called two shadow guards, sending them inside first to find out where Lu Jie was.
While waiting, he raised his head and looked at the beautifully decorated two-story teahouse with three entrances in front of him. Lu Jia's confident appearance reappeared in his mind.
From planning the location to find Lu Jie, to hiring a carriage to go to Xiayou Tower, and then facing such a magnificent teahouse, she was always handy and calm. She was not as embarrassed as when she came to the feet of the long-lost emperor and faced the rich and powerful in the city. None.
In other words, walking on the streets of the capital she had left for ten years was no different from walking on the streets of Shawan.
Could it be that ten years had not erased her impression of the capital?
"Sir, Lu Jie has reserved a room in the Xiayou Building. Today he is hosting a banquet again. He didn't find out who exactly he is hosting, but people from the Lu family have already stood outside the private room, and all the tableware and tea sets are there. They were all taken from the Lu family.
"In addition, Miss Xie has bribed the waiter inside and pretended to be the waiter delivering tea to go downstairs, but I don't think she can get up."
In a moment, the shadow guard had returned.
Shen Qingzhou turned his attention to the second floor again, and then said: "Go back and ask Song En to come over, and then bring me my clothes."
……
Lu Jia put on the boy's clothes and squatted under the stairs with a tray. There are a lot of guys in the building, and as long as you can get in here, there are still many opportunities to do something.
But she didn't expect that she would be so lucky to meet her father entertaining guests here as soon as she arrived. What was unlucky was that her father was inviting distinguished guests today, so even going upstairs was a problem, let alone getting close to the room.
"Hurry, hurry! Everyone retreat to the back room first!"
While hesitating and having no solution, the steward from the store downstairs came running over and yelled. He looked at the young guys and raised his hands to hurry up: "Why are you still standing there? Get out of the way!"
The waiting waiters suddenly became confused, and the brave ones asked: "I dare to ask the shopkeeper, but what happened?"
"Stop talking nonsense! The noble man is here!"
While the steward was answering them, he was still greeting another group of experienced clerks to come out to greet the guests.
Lu Jia was extremely curious. She could count all the dignitaries in the capital, but she couldn't guess who needed such style?
Even her father wouldn't be like this!
Could it be that he is from the Yan family?
Oh!
For those members of the Yan family, which recreational place in the capital has never allowed them to cross the threshold? I've been to this place countless times before, so it doesn't have to be like this.
Just as he was wondering, a voice came from the door: "Master, please slow down, the chariot is ready, please come this way!"
Hearing this voice, a string in Lu Jia's head was plucked.
There are many noble sons in the capital, but there are only a few who need to be treated with such care!
And among the few, there is only one who is worthy of being so fiercely guarded by Xiayoulou!
"It turns out to be Mr. Shen!..."
The string in Lu Jia's head just sparked, and some of the guys around him shouted in surprise!
"He is the eldest son of the Taiwei Mansion! No wonder! This man doesn't go out easily..."
This low cry aroused countless exclamations, and everyone couldn't help but poke their heads out and look out, wanting to see the elegance of the eldest son of the Taiwei Mansion!
Lu Jia also stood on tiptoes involuntarily. She knew that the young master of the Taiwei Mansion was invaded by enemies from the north more than ten years ago. The imperial court sent several generals there one after another, but they all failed due to various reasons.
From the founding of this dynasty to the present day, there may have been some faint emperors, but there has never been a weakling to the outside world. The current emperor refused to admit defeat in the face of the enemy. On the recommendation of Xiao Yi, the former chief minister of the cabinet, Shen Bo, then minister of the Ministry of War, was assigned to take command.
Shen Bo has been fighting abroad for many years since then, leaving only his wife, Mrs. Shen, and their only son at home.
Mrs. Shen passed away due to illness early on, and the young Master Shen took on the responsibility of running the family.
I don't know whether it was due to a disease in the fetus or because the young man worked too hard. Although Mr. Shen was rumored to be handsome, his health was not good and there were repeated rumors that he was seriously ill.
But maybe if he survived the catastrophe, he would be blessed later. After being ill for many years, he finally waited until Taiwei Shen returned home in triumph.
During the years when Shen Bo was fighting abroad, the emperor had always taken good care of the Shen family in order to allow him to fight with peace of mind. And because he was Shen Bo's only son at the time, Master Shen had a unique status among the aristocratic children of the capital.
After Shen Bo came back, he was granted the title of Taiwei, Duke of England, took charge of the Ministry of War, and gained real power. The status of the Shen family jumped even further.
The eldest son of Lieutenant Shen, Prince Shen, who has been granted the title of British Prince, has become even more of a fairy-like figure in people's eyes.
But Lu Jia has never seen him.
Now I came across such an opportunity, so of course I was curious and wanted to meet him.
But she stood on her tiptoes so high and stretched her neck so long that her view ahead was blocked by the steward and others.
Someone quietly brought a stool next to him. Lu Jia took advantage of the situation and stepped on it. However, he just happened to see a corner of a brocade robe embroidered with complicated patterns, and then the corner of the robe moved softly up the stairs. The chariot disappeared from sight.
"I heard that this man suffered a lot when he fell into the water at the beginning of the year. He has been recuperating in the mansion. It seems that he is finally recovering this time. It's just that there is another second son in the Taiwei mansion..."
People around him started talking about it.
Lu Jia, the second son of the Shen family, had also heard a little bit about it, and heard that he was Shen Bo's illegitimate son who came back from the war zone.
Since the news about the Second Young Master Shen had never been revealed before, she had heard in her previous life that there was great disharmony between the eldest Young Master and the Second Young Master, so that a few years later, the Taiwei Mansion, which was originally on the same side as the Yan family, was also plagued with many troubles.
Lu Jia thought of Qin Zhou inexplicably.
The life experiences of Mr. Shen and Mr. Qin Zhou are comparable. The only difference is that although Qin Zhou is sick, his illness is much milder than that of Mr. Shen!
Mr. Shen had to be supported from both sides even when he came out to drink tea, and he had to be carried on a soft chariot when going up the stairs. No wonder in the previous life, until Lu Jia died, they heard that there was no young lady in the Taiwei Mansion. With such a body, it was doubtful whether he could get married. Bar?
"Is there anyone with quick hands and feet? Here are two tea waiters."
Just as he was thinking about it, a voice suddenly came from above the stairs.
It was one of the retinues around Mr. Shen earlier, a young man in his twenties, who looked like he was dressed as an aide.
Lu Jia raised her head and glanced at the location of Master Shen's private room, then measured the location of Lu Jie's private room, and quickly raised her hand: "I - I am willing to help!"
