Daming female local tyrant

Shen Xian and his son soon found out why Mrs. Li was partial to Shen Wan.

After Shen Wan got the Jinling Weaving Yamen job from Hu Quan, Old Madam Li called the family members together to announce the good news the next day, and decided to choose a good day in a few days to have a big banquet for the guests to celebrate the occasion. thing.

They are a little uneasy.

After they went back, they discussed this matter, but they couldn't figure out how Shen Wan got involved with Jinling weaving eunuch Hu Quan.

But no matter how you catch it, the reality is that it does matter.

Hu Quan is a hot and powerful person in Jinling. Shen Wan's relationship with him is equivalent to the Shen family's indirect relationship with Jinling weaving eunuch Hu Quan. The benefits brought to the Shen family are huge.

No wonder the old lady could turn a blind eye to the scandal that Shen Wan and her maid did, and insisted that it was a rumor.

After that, with Shen Shisi leaning on the big tree of his sister Shen Wan, is there anything to worry about?

No matter how capable Shen Shilian is, the old lady will not let him replace Shen Shisi.

The wishful thinking of Shen Xian and his son was completely thwarted, which made them very angry, secretly cursing why Shen Shisi didn't die, and why Shen Wan was too powerful.

The two of them discussed what to do next, after much discussion and discussion, they still felt that they could not move around, and all plans were put on hold for the time being, until the incident of Shen Shisi's injury due to the overturned carriage passed and the situation calmed down, they would choose an opportunity to take action.

Shen Xian said to Shen Shilian: "Let your people keep an eye on her, if she still has a flaw, maybe we can turn around."

Shen Shilian: "Yes."

-

Shen Wan didn't expect the old lady to announce that she got the job from Jinling weaving eunuch Hu Quan so soon, which made her a little worried that the cunning second uncle and his son would be more careful and stop acting rashly, making it even harder to find their flaws.

She was even worried that if the carriage overturned by her younger brother Shisi was indeed planned by them behind the scenes, would they kill people to silence it?

The one who hides in the dark and throws the black cat...

If Hu Quan's people find him, relying on the means of those people, Shen Wan believes that the second uncle and his son will definitely be confessed.

I don't know if they will "smartly" jump over the wall in a hurry?

Shen Wan keenly felt that this was an opportunity to seize the flaws of the second uncle and his son, she immediately called Xia's mother, and told her in a low voice to ask her man Zuo Qing to find some capable servants to watch over the second uncle and his son, what's the matter? Suspicious points will be reported immediately.

Mother Xia took orders to leave, and Shen Wan felt relieved.

In this way, no matter whether Shen Xian and Shen Shilian hibernate or take risks, the ending is what Shen Wan wants.

As for the person who betrayed her, Shen Wan also planned to settle the score after the autumn, and clean it up together at that time.

Next, she only wanted to do one thing, and that was to meet Shang Jinglan as soon as possible.

In the few days since Jing Lan left Shen's house, Shen Wan couldn't sleep well, and she missed Jing Lan very much.

She wrote a letter with a pen, and someone sent it to Daotong Xuanzhen at Qingxu Temple, saying that it was a letter to Chengze's sister, please pass it on.

Originally, before Jing Lan left, she said that Feng Wu asked her to send someone to take the letter to Taoist Xuanzhen of Qingxu Temple, that Jing Lan would send someone to get the letter, but Shen Wan felt that this was too slow, and she wanted to know quickly When Jing Lan returned to Lu's house, she wanted to see Jing Lan as soon as possible.

When Jing Lan returned to Lu's house, she specially asked Cheng Ze to send someone to say hello to Dao Tong Xuanzhen of Qingxu Temple. If someone sent a letter and pointed out that it was for her, please keep it safe, and she would send someone to pick it up.

At that time, Cheng Ze asked Jing Lan who would write her the letter, and why the letter was not delivered to the Lu family.

Jing Lan told him not to worry about it, in short, he sent someone to talk about it.

Sure enough, Chengze didn't ask any more questions later, and sent a boy to Qingxu Temple to tell Taoist Xuanzhen, who also agreed.

A few days later, Daotong Xuanzhen received a letter, and the person who delivered the letter asked him to make a trip to Lu's house and give it to Sister Cheng Ze, and he really made a trip.

In the end, he handed the letter to Chengze, saying that it was a letter entrusted to Chengze's sister.

Cheng Ze thanked him for this trip, and asked the servant to take him to drink tea and have some snacks before going back.

In the next afternoon, when Jinglan came back from the school, the maid Qingyao handed her a letter, saying that it was from the mother-in-law who served Jinglan's younger brother.

As soon as she saw the words on the letter, she knew it was from Shen Wan.

Jing Lan took the letter and went to Dongcijian's study to open it, and took out the letter to read. In the letter, Shen Wan wrote that she got a job from Hu Quan to weave tribute satin for the imperial court, and said that she wanted to see Jing Lan before Qixi Festival. , Let Jinglan choose a day to go to the place where Jinglan avoided illness.She has a lot to say, and she wants to have an interview with Jing Lan.

It is estimated that Shen Wan was also afraid that someone would open and read the letter during the delivery process, so she not only sealed the letter, but did not reveal too much in the letter.

For example, she wrote in her letter to ask Jing Lan to go to the place where she had just arrived in Jinling to avoid illness.

That place was when Jing Lan followed Shen Wan to Xiao's house, in order to protect Jing Lan from being coveted by Xiao Yulang, she moved out of Shen Wan's private house behind the Confucius Temple on the pretext that she and Cui Zhu had a disease.

She wrote like this, even if the letter was opened and read, others would not know where Jing Lan and her met.

After reading Shen Wan's letter, Jing Lan thought for a while, she must not be able to go out on the day of Qixi Festival, the ladies of the Lu family must have some activities to beg for cleverness, and she has to participate.

Today is the second day of July, she has only been back to Shen's house for three days, at least she will stay for a few more days before taking half a day off with her ancestor, and she will go out with Cheng Ze, otherwise her ancestor must be worried.

Together with Chengze, we either went to Qingxu Temple or went to the temple, in the name of praying for family members and burning incense.

Jing Lan casually flipped through the almanac on the desk, and happened to see that the sixth day of the seventh lunar month is an auspicious day for the zodiac. If that day is good for praying and burning incense, she decided to go to the house on the back street of the Confucius Temple to meet her on this day. Shen Wan.

But if she had to go out to burn incense and pray for her family on the sixth day of July, she didn't tell her ancestors directly.

Jing Lan found her younger brother, and told Cheng Ze that she wanted to go out to pray for her family on the sixth day of July, and she saw personal matters, and asked him to go to the ancestors to beg and go out with her that day.

Cheng Ze agreed to Jing Lan without hesitation, but he wanted Jing An to tell him who that person was.

Shen Wan said: "It's Miss Shen's family."

Cheng Ze nodded: "It turned out to be her, but sister. I don't understand. She was a master and servant with you before, and it is reasonable to say that the master and servant have a deep relationship, but now you are not her slave, but a descendant of the Lu family. Miss, this..."

Jing Lan smiled and said, "She and I are no longer masters and servants, it's not too much to say we are close friends."

When she said this, Cheng Ze accepted it, and then said that it was up to him to go out to burn incense and worship Buddha on July [-]th.

The next day, Cheng Ze told Jing Lan that he had obtained the consent of his ancestors to accompany Jing Lan to the temple to offer incense on July [-]th and have a good time out for a day.

This was more than half a day Jing Lan expected. She was very happy when she heard it, praised Chengze for his ability, and asked for a day off from her ancestors.

Cheng Ze said: "I know my sister wants to go out to play. This time when I come to Lu's house, I'm confined to the inner house every day, and I don't have any free time from morning to night. How can I be as free as I used to be in the Shen family when I was the eldest lady of the Shen family."

Jing Lan said that her younger brother was right, that's what she thought.

After getting the letter, Jing Lan went back and wrote a letter, handed it to Cheng Ze, and asked his servant to send it to Tong Xuanzhen of Qingxu Guandao.

Since Shen Wan wrote the letter to Jing Lan, she sent Ping An to watch at Qingxu Temple from morning to night every day, waiting for Jing Lan's reply.

As soon as the boy from Chengze delivered the letter to Daotong Xuanzhen, he saw it and ran over to ask if it was from Miss Lu's family.

Xuanzhen stuffed it directly to him, and asked him to take it and go back quickly. The past few days, Ping An is here so that people are dizzy.

Ping An took the letter and happily returned to Shen's house, and handed the letter to Shen Wan.

In the letter, Jing Lan told Shen Wan that everything would be fine after she returned to Lu's house, and that she would go to the place Shen Wan mentioned to meet her on the sixth day of July around Chenshi, but her younger brother Cheng Ze was also with her.

She asked Shen Wan to make arrangements so that Cheng Ze could wait there patiently.

Seeing this sentence, Shen Wan couldn't help laughing, she naturally understood the meaning of what Jing Lan said.When the two met, could it be that it was just a conversation? They must have loved each other. That would be time-consuming, and Cheng Ze must wait for it.

After laughing, Shen Wan's longing for Jinglan became even stronger.

So Shen Wan made arrangements and sent people to the private house on the back street of Confucius Temple to do a thorough cleaning. The bedroom was replaced with brand new curtains, brocade quilts and other things.Food and drink were also prepared in advance for that day. Also, I found a troupe that mainly played zither and flute and sang Kunqu opera a cappella, and I also found a few professional chess players to help out.With these people, Shen Wan believes that Jing Lan's younger brother Cheng Ze can also sit and wait patiently.

Before going to see Jing Lan at the mansion in the back street of Confucius Temple, Shen Wan also went to see the old lady.

She mentioned that she would have a big banquet in a few days, but she didn't know whether to invite people from the Lu family.

Mrs. Li said: "The post was naturally posted. The Lu family is also one of the four prominent families in Jinling. Although the Lu family and our Shen family have not been married in recent years, they are not considered in-laws, but they still keep in touch with each other and invite guests to celebrate their birthdays. , they all sent invitations to each other. This time you took the work from Hu Quan that belonged to their Lu family, and you made a treat for it, they will definitely not like it, and maybe they won’t come.”

Shen Wan deliberately said: "My granddaughter thinks that the Lu family will come. If they don't come, they will appear small-minded, and it will be difficult to meet our Shen family in the future. Could it be that they will become enemies? If they don't come, this matter will reach Hu Quan. Doesn’t it make Hu Quan feel uncomfortable? The granddaughter is certain that the Lu family will come, and Jing Lan also..."

At first, the old lady Li kept nodding her head when she heard Shen Wan's words, but when she heard the word "Jing Lan", she said displeasedly: "You are not allowed to see that girl from the Lu family when she comes, you'd better cut it off completely. "

Shen Wan hurriedly begged: "Old lady, my granddaughter is willing to hand over the weaving workshop in her hand to the Shen family, just to see her once in a while. The granddaughter doesn't want to marry in this life, and she would rather stay in the Shen family and help Shisi. The head of the family, let the Shen family prosper for a long time, and ask the old lady to make it happen!"
