Chapter 545 A man like a golden pheasant
"Male guest? Isn't this flower viewing banquet only attended by the female family members of the inner house?" Shen Yue'an was very confused. She has two brothers, but they are not here today.
Amber raised her lips in a funny way, "In principle, that's the case, but every family has a few young masters who like to join in the fun. Some are still young and don't have so many obstacles. They come as soon as they come. They are in another garden. , there are servants guarding you in the middle, but you won’t cross the line. I will remind you just in case.”
Shen Yue'an nodded and walked towards the waterside pavilion.
As soon as she stepped on the covered bridge, she noticed that there were several black heads looming on the wall not far away. Thinking of what Amber said, she rolled her eyes, took out a slingshot from her arms, ran to the rockery and picked up a small stone. , aim, launch.
"Ouch!" A wailing sound came from the garden next door.
The ladies who were joking at the waterside pavilion realized that they had been peeked at just now. Their faces turned red with anger, and they came out of the waterside pavilion one after another, shouting curses through the wall.
When the old lady and others heard the commotion, they all came out to take a look.
Sun Yudie stepped forward angrily and blessed Fuli, "Grandma."
Seeing Sun Yudie's livid face, the old lady called the maid over and asked her. She found out that it was the male guest who climbed up the wall to peek at the girl and was hit by Shen Yue'an's slingshot. Each of his expressions was wonderful.
"Go and see who is injured? Who else is climbing the wall together!"
When the old lady got angry, even the third prince, concubine and others couldn't speak. Everyone secretly prayed that their family members would not get involved.
After a while, the maid came quickly and said Fu Li: "Taijun, they are the young master of the Wang family, the Minister of Household Affairs, the young master of the Liu family, the Minister of Rites, and the young master of the Zhao family, the Minister of War. The injured one is Young Master Liu."
The third prince's concubine swayed and almost lost her balance.
Princess Qingkang quickly gave her a hand and asked sternly, "Is it really Master Liu?"
The maid kowtowed repeatedly, "Back to the princess, it is indeed Young Master Liu. Fortunately, the slingshot hit Young Master Liu's shoulder. There was no critical injury. The doctor has already gone over for treatment."
Did you go so far as to call a doctor?
Everyone glanced at Shen Yue'an.
The eldest princess of Huai'an immediately spoke out in defense, "An'er, why do you hit someone with a slingshot?"
Shen Yue'an looked innocent, "Mother, I don't know anyone. I want to talk to the sisters in the waterside pavilion, but I didn't bring a gift. I originally wanted to shoot a bird, but I missed my aim and saw something looming on the wall. The thing moved, and I thought it was a beautiful golden pheasant. If I knew it was the big brother who climbed over the wall, I would definitely not hit him.”
"Pfft!" All the girls headed by Sun Yudie covered their mouths and snickered, looking at Shen Yue'an with as friendly a look as possible.
The eldest princess of Huai'an gently nodded Shen Yue'an's head, and spoke in a doting and indulgent tone, "Next time, you have to look carefully before hitting, but you can't mistake the person for the golden pheasant again."
"An'er knows!" Shen Yue'an admitted her mistake very obediently.
Except for the angry third prince and the unwilling Princess Qingkang, everyone felt relieved.
The doctor came over and said that Mr. Liu's shoulder was fine and he needed to go back for three to five days to recover.
The old lady took the opportunity to send people away.
The third prince's concubine was so humiliated that she found an excuse to leave.
Princess Qingkang then left.
Without the troublesome people, things went smoothly after the banquet. Shen Yue'an and Shen Yuezhang also successfully integrated into the circle of the imperial capital. After the third princess left the Rongguo Palace, she immediately went to Liu's house and scolded Mrs. Liu as soon as she entered the door.
"Originally, I planned to propose marriage to the Duke of Rongguo and facilitate the marriage between the Sun and Liu families. However, your good son actually climbed over the wall to peek at your noble daughter. Doesn't he even want his reputation? I'm so proud of him. Everything is lost. After today, let alone the marriage with Duke Rongguo, he will not be able to marry any girl from a good family!"
Mrs. Liu was scolded so hard that she couldn't even lift her head.
After the third prince's concubine left, she had to be scolded by her husband. When she knew the whole story, she did not blame her son. Instead, she angered the Shen family, thinking that if the Shen family hadn't been meddling in their own affairs, her son would not have made a fool of himself.
Su Tai, mother and son didn't know much about the Liu family.
The day after returning from Duke Rong's Mansion, Su Tai received a thank you gift from Duke Rong's Mansion. She was puzzled and could only ask Liu Laosan for advice.
Liu Laosan looked at the gift list and smiled, "The second prince was demoted, and the third prince must have had his thoughts. The third prince's concubine wanted to facilitate the marriage between the Liu family and the Rongguo Duke's house. If the third prince's concubine spoke, there was no legitimate reason. It would be difficult for the Duke of Rong to refuse.
After An'er's slingshot hit, the Rongguo Palace had a justifiable excuse to refuse, and it left people speechless. Do you think the Rongguo Palace could not show its expression? ”
Su Tai understood and put those valuable things into the warehouse with peace of mind.
After the flower-viewing banquet at Duke Rong's mansion, Su Tai also met some officials' wives in the imperial capital who were of similar rank to Shen Yi. From time to time, she would go out with them to drink tea, watch movies, admire flowers and worship Buddha, which was not too boring.
There is no mistake in every song, one post, one content, one 6 one, one book, one book, take a look!
She was living a wonderful life here, but Zheng and Yang could no longer endure it.
For a month, Tang Yu went out on time and returned on time every day, doing everything by himself, showing his hard-working determination and attitude, being conscientious and meticulous, and really giving all his salary to Zheng.
With the receipt as evidence, Zheng and Yang would naturally not suspect that there was something wrong with the money, and they were not happy for two days.
Tang Yu asked Zheng for one or two halves, saying that it was the birthday of his colleague's old mother, who was throwing a banquet and needed a gift.
Mrs. Zheng was so distressed that she held her purse and didn't want to give it to her. "We have so many mouths to live on your salary. How can we live if you use the money to give gifts?"
Tang Yu's face was full of guilt, "Mom, my son is incompetent, but there is nothing I can do about it. If I don't follow my colleagues, I'm afraid I will be put in the shoes immediately, and I will be forced to leave the imperial capital within two months. If you really can't bear it, It doesn’t matter if you spend this money, I just tell people the truth
If I can't survive in the imperial capital, I'll have to go back to the village. I've sent a lot of money to my parents over the years. I heard that my parents have built a lot of houses. It's not too much to leave one for me!
Then I will go back to serve my mother. ”
"No!" Zheng and Yang said in unison.
Mrs. Zheng's face was livid, while Mrs. Yang was panicking.
She came to the emperor to improve her family, not to let Tang Yu go back and divide the family wealth. Those houses can only belong to their big house, right! Tang Yu cannot be allowed to go back, absolutely not!
This time, Yang's mind was clearer than ever before, and he forced a smile to comfort him: "Uncle, you are very talented and are born to be an official. How can you go back to the countryside with us to farm? Besides, that land You don’t understand that my mother won’t delay my uncle’s future because of such a trivial matter, right, mother?”
Zheng was so angry that her whole body trembled, and she gritted her teeth and said, "Can't it be any less?"
Tang Yu was very embarrassed.
Yang was anxious after seeing this, and had to waste some time trying to persuade her.
