[Red Mansion] The Wife of Powerful Officials
Chapter 24
In the waiting room of Lin'anbo Mansion, the atmosphere was stagnant.
Until a nanny came in, Fushen said: "The old lady has called the girl away, saying that she will stay in the courtyard for a few days to be educated."
After hearing this, Bo Lin'an hurriedly turned his head to look at the young gentleman who was sitting on the seat, sipping tea leisurely.
No one said anything.
Even the nanny stood there with lowered brows, breathing less.
He Shen raised his eyes and looked at the nanny: "Thanks for your hard work."
Mammy quickly waved her hands: "Don't dare to act, don't dare to act."
"The way the old lady of Lin'anbo behaves is quite admirable." He Shen still played with one hand, hitting a sweet date with a stick.
Lin'an Bo let out a breath, and his face looked much better.
He Shen shamed Lingyue on the spot, and later pointed out that Lin'anbo's family style was unhealthy, and asked the old lady to send someone to take Lingyue away.
It can be said that the face of Lin'anbo Mansion was thrown on the ground and trampled on.
At this time, a few more words of praise will naturally avoid enmity.
As for whether Lingyue would hate him, He Shen didn't care at all.
No matter how much hatred there is in her chest, there is nothing he can do about it.
What's more, today is nothing but her own fault.
He Shen is not soft-hearted at all.
Looking at He Shen's indifferent face, Lin'an Bo's unspeakable imagination in his heart was instantly shattered.
Not only did Renhe Shilang not have the slightest affection for his daughter, on the contrary he was extremely fond of it.
Under such circumstances, it would be a joke to make any assumptions that should not have been made.
Lin'an Bo suppressed those thoughts, pretending that he had never thought about it, he said with a smile: "The banquet is about to start, how about the servant sitting with me?"
"Thanks for your kindness."
The two of them stepped out of the living room together and entered the courtyard where the banquet was held.
Not many male guests came to Amber's house today, so the desks and cases were sparsely arranged.
And there is only one door, and the other side is the banquet for the female relatives.
I can vaguely hear the whispers and laughter of the women in that room, wrapped in bursts of fragrance of makeup and powder, blown by the wind, and entered the courtyard.
Mr. Lin'an was standing not far from the door, he turned his head and looked at the door unconsciously, and he looked at it for a long time.
It seemed that there was someone or something on the other end that made him fall into a god.
"What are you doing in a daze?" Uncle Lin'an scolded him unhappily.
Only then did Master Lin'an come back to his senses, he quickly restrained his expression, lowered his head slightly, and spoke to Lin'an in a low voice.
But He Shen could no longer hear what he was saying.
In He Shen's eyes, he could only see the red ears of Uncle Lin'an.
He Shen frowned slightly.
He still remembered that outside the pavilion before, when Mr. Lin'an heard Lingyue talk about Daiyu, he glanced at the pavilion, and then blushed.
and so……
At this moment, Uncle Lin'an is also thinking about Daiyu?
A burst of unhappiness quickly surged in He Shen's heart.
How does he match?
How does he match Xiao Xiang Daiyu?
Uncle Lin'an has a weak temperament, he can't even control his younger sister, so how can he protect Daiyu?
What's more, with his temperament and talent, it will definitely be difficult to become a master in the future.
Such a person has neither the courage nor the strength to protect Daiyu.
The Lin'an Bo Mansion is now at the end of the road, and when the Rongguo Mansion collapses in the future, Mr. Lin'an Bo is afraid that he will be unable to do anything!
A cold light flickered in He Shen's eyes.
The Lin'an Bozi at the other end only felt an inexplicable chill on his back, but after careful study, he didn't know why this feeling came from.
"What's wrong with you today?" Bo Lin frowned and said, "Hurry up and arrange the guests to sit."
"Yes." Mr. Lin'an hurriedly responded, restrained his divergent gaze, turned around and went to make arrangements.
He Shen took a cursory glance at the male guests in the courtyard, and besides Duke Duke who was also knighted, He Shen was the only high-ranking minister in the court.
So his seat was placed in the front row.
On the other side, Mrs. Wang also sat in the front row with Daiyu, Baochai and Sanchun.
After all, Rongguo Mansion is not as good as it used to be, and after all, a lean camel is bigger than a horse.
Who dares to neglect it?
There was nothing interesting about the meal.
Daiyu and the others didn't like the atmosphere in Lin'an Bo's residence, they felt like they swallowed a few mouthfuls of dirty air when they sat down to eat.
And He Shen wasn't thinking about eating at all.
As a result, both parties ended their meal hastily.
Already drinking wine at the banquet.
Most of the people sitting in the front are not young, but He Shen, a young man sitting in it, is naturally the most conspicuous.
Those who recognized his identity also set their sights on him to toast.
He Shen ignored those who had no names or surnames, and those who were not of high status in the court.
If he wants to drink the wine toasted by any cat or dog, why not get drunk?He Shen will not wrong himself.
After drinking for three rounds, He Shen's handsome face was only stained with a little red, and there was only a faint smell of alcohol between his clothes, which was fragrant but not suffocating.
He Shen didn't want to stay any longer, so he left early.
The things that Qianlong told him about him have been done.
And so lucky, just ran into sister Lin.
Seeing the above, he felt at peace in his heart, at least what he did was not in vain.Sister Lin is doing well now.
Thinking about it, there is no need to continue to stay.
Uncle Lin'an couldn't leave the meeting, so he told his son to send Heshen out of the mansion, and when he was done, he said drunkenly: "Thank you for your advice today."
The corner of He Shen's mouth curled up, but the expression on his face was still indifferent: "What's the point?"
See, now Lin'an Bo still thinks that he scolded Lingyue to remind them to rectify their family traditions so as not to cause displeasure today.
He Shen felt a little funny.
He took it apart, and a heart was clearly black.
But in the eyes of others, they always feel that he is extremely white.
Also, where do these people have the ability to foretell and know that He Shen is a well-known treacherous minister in history?
After leaving the courtyard where the banquet was held, Mr. Lin'an Bo didn't speak any more along the way.
He showed a fearful expression in front of He Shen, and there were some subtle complaints.
Heshen's imperial examination experience is so legendary that many princes and scholars in Beijing and China highly respect him.
Lin'an uncle son Ben is also one of them.
It's just that today, seeing He Shen deal with his always precious younger sister expressionlessly, Uncle Lin'an is a little afraid and complains a little bit.
He Shen had already caught his expression in his eyes, and when he reached the gate, He Shen paused.
"My lord seems to be dissatisfied?" He Shen's tone was calm.
Mr. Lin'an's back tightened, he stood up straight and said, "Not at all, not at all."
"It's good if you don't have one. I hope Mr. Lin'an knows that love is not the same as indulgence. In order to make my sister better, you should restrain her more in the future." When he said this, He Shen's tone was still calm, but his eyes revealed A little chill.
Uncle Lin'an clenched his hands tightly.
But he couldn't refute He Shen's words.
"Yes." Uncle Lin'an squeezed out a reply.
He Shen didn't have the desire to preach, he just reminded that if Lingyue committed a crime against him again in the future, he would naturally not be lenient, and he wouldn't be considered ruthless at that time, after all, he had been instructed earlier.
He turned and walked out the door.
The bearers are already waiting there.
Uncle Lin'an didn't dare to look at He Shen's back any more, so he turned and went back in a hurry.
Of course he would not have noticed that He Shen walked to the soft sedan chair, but he was not in a hurry to get up.
Seeing He Shen's expression was cold, Liu Quan asked in a low voice, "Master, did something unpleasant happen to you?"
He Shen shook his head, raised the car curtain and sat in.
But the bearer waited for a long time, but he never heard the command to "get up the sedan chair".
Several people looked at each other in blank dismay, not knowing which song was being sung.
"Master?" Liu Quan's voice came from outside the sedan chair.
"And wait."
Liu Quan also didn't know why the master had already come out, but he still couldn't hold back.
and many more?
What are you waiting for?
Liu Quan couldn't figure it out, but he still dutifully guarded by the sedan chair and didn't say much.
After waiting, half an hour passed.
At this time, women began to come out one after another with little girls.
He Shen raised the car curtain and glanced at those people.
Soon, his eyes locked.
Without him.
The only Daiyu placed in it is particularly dazzling.
Because I met once in the pavilion earlier, I was much calmer at this time.He Shen's eyes can also accommodate the few people following him.
The older woman, who was dressed in more modest clothes, was naturally Mrs. Wang.
The one on her right hand who is supporting her affectionately has a bright red body, sharp eyes and sharp eyes, and is charming, so it should be Wang Xifeng.
The girl accompanying her on the left, wearing a silk-colored skirt, with beautiful features, should be Xue Baochai.
And the other three girls around Daiyu should be Sanchun.
Perhaps because He Shen had been looking at it for a long time, Daiyu on the other end cast a glance in this direction as if aware of it.
However, there were already many bearers carrying their sedan chairs and waiting by the side of the road. For a while, it was difficult for Daiyu to lock his eyes on him.
He Shen's heartbeat was a little faster at first, but when Daiyu glanced over and looked away quickly, his heartbeat immediately returned to normal, and he felt a little indescribably lost.
Mrs. Wang and Wang Xifeng got on the sedan chair one after another.
Then comes the Spring Festival, Baochai.
Seeing that Daiyu is about to get on the sedan chair.
He Shen walked out of the sedan chair.
He is tall and tall, with a handsome appearance and an extraordinary bearing.In an instant, it attracted a lot of attention.
The women looked at it generously, but those boudoir girls wanted to look at it, but they didn't dare to look at it.I had no choice but to cover it slightly with the sleeves of the elders, and sneakily peeped out with a pair of eyes.
Daiyu naturally followed suit.
She was just wondering what happened, and it attracted so many people to look at it.
At this glance, Daiyu was slightly stunned.
Isn't this the young man in the frost-colored robe outside the pavilion?
Now that it's closer, Daiyu can see it more clearly.
Although she had seen many good-looking people, she had to sigh that this young man was really handsome, and his overall demeanor was not comparable to that of Jia Baoyu's handsome face.
Moreover, this person...
Has she seen it anywhere?
Just as she was thinking about it, Xueyan tugged her sleeves and lowered her voice, but she couldn't suppress the excitement in her bones: "Girl, do you still remember? When we first arrived in Beijing, two soft sedan chairs were parked on the shore , the one sitting inside is him. The person serving beside him is my elder brother..."
Daiyu was startled, and suddenly realized.
"He, he is...he is the one who often sends me things, that brother?"
For a moment, countless memories flashed through Daiyu's mind.
She doesn't remember very clearly when she was a child, especially at that time that brother only stayed with her for a month, and then he left for several years, only relying on letters to communicate.
She couldn't remember what he looked like in her memory, and it was even more difficult to describe what he would be like in a few years.
She even heard his name from Rongguo Mansion later.
It is said that he was the minister of the court, a second-rank official, and won the first prize at a young age.He is a man with a common surname in Manchuria. His name is Zhizhai, and everyone outside calls him "Heshilang".
So when she met Kishi, she didn't react at all.
Even more so today.
She didn't know at all that the young man who was close at hand and attracted Lingyue's admiration was the elder brother in her memory.
The taste in it is really... really strange.
Some joy, some indescribable surprise.
The two who used to be able to communicate only by letters seemed to be drawn closer by a thread in an instant.
Even the impression of him in his mind suddenly became clearer.
"Miss Lin, get on the sedan chair." The woman beside her urged.
Daiyu had no choice but to calm down her confused thoughts, nod her head indiscriminately, and just got into the sedan chair.
The sedan chair from Rongguo Mansion was the first to leave.
Followed by other sedan chairs also left one after another.
At this time, He Shen watched them go away, so he deliberately knocked off the sachet, then lowered his head to pick up the sachet.
It seemed that his abrupt behavior of getting out of the sedan chair was just to pick up a sachet.
"Go home." He Shen sat upright and said.
It seemed that he was not the one who pretended to bend down to pick up the sachet just now to get a better look at Sister Lin before getting out of the sedan chair.
Until a nanny came in, Fushen said: "The old lady has called the girl away, saying that she will stay in the courtyard for a few days to be educated."
After hearing this, Bo Lin'an hurriedly turned his head to look at the young gentleman who was sitting on the seat, sipping tea leisurely.
No one said anything.
Even the nanny stood there with lowered brows, breathing less.
He Shen raised his eyes and looked at the nanny: "Thanks for your hard work."
