Becoming a Demon [Comprehensive]

Chapter 20 Begonia Chunyan

Zhang Maochun was taken by the servants of the Shen family to the receiving yard in the front yard of the Shen family. The servants asked him to wait a moment, and he went in to report.

Waiting for the servant to go in, Zhang Maochun hurriedly stood at the door and arranged his clothes, then waited for the person inside to announce his entry.

"Brother Shen Xian, I came to see you this time, but I hope you can help me." The main wing room is a large reception room, Master Shen is sitting at the main seat, and the main seat opposite him is a middle-aged man.However, although this middle-aged man is also obese, he is nothing compared to Master Shen.

"Master Zhifu, what can trouble you in this city of Yangzhou?" Master Shen picked up the tea bowl to drink tea, his obesity made it difficult for him to turn his neck.

Chen Zhifu's face showed embarrassment, and he was about to say something when the servant came in and reported, "Master, Mr. Zhang is already waiting at the door."

Seeing someone coming in, Chen Zhifu picked up his tea cup and pretended to drink tea, and temporarily swallowed what he was going to say.

Master Shen was very happy, "Hurry up, call my nephew in." After he finished speaking, he turned his head to Chen Zhifu and said, "Master Zhifu came to meet my nephew, who looks very talented and is from the capital. Although both are He is a merchant, but he is also a learned person. Now he is staying at my house, and the magistrate will help me give him some advice later."

Chen Zhifu took a sip of tea, thinking that who in Yangzhou City doesn't know that your old boy has caught a door-to-door son-in-law, and he said he wanted to give him advice, but he actually wanted him to take the school exam!

Thinking that this old boy really needed help in this incident, Prefect Chen thought he might as well help him.

After Zhang Maochun entered the door, Chen Zhifu's hand holding the tea bowl trembled suddenly, this, this is not...

Zhang Maochun walked up to the two of them, stopped at a distance of five steps, bent down and cupped his hands, "I've seen Uncle."

"Nephew, please hurry up!" Master Shen waved at him, "Come here, I have met Master Zhifu."

There was a strange expression on Zhang Maochun's face, and he bowed again, "Caomin has met the prefect."

Chen Zhifu continued to shake his hands, with a forced smile on his face, he said: "Nephew, please get up, I'm in casual clothes today, so there's no need to perform this grand ceremony."

Only then did Zhang Maochun get up, and Master Shen asked him to sit down next to him.

Seeing that Zhang Maochun was not rude, Master Shen nodded with satisfaction, and then asked his servants to serve tea.

Zhang Maochun took the cup and acted gracefully, which made Master Shen even more satisfied.

"How is it? My nephew is not bad!" Master Shen asked Chen Zhifu with a smile.

Chen Zhifu glanced at Zhang Maochun, nodded again and again, "That's right, you can tell that you are a young talent at a glance. Congratulations, brother, you have finally found your ideal son-in-law, right?" If he read correctly, this This person is someone close to King Ning.When I returned to the capital to report on work the year before last, it happened that His Majesty celebrated his birthday, and vassal princes from all over the world came to Beijing.When King Ning came to Beijing, he happened to invite someone to drink tea in a teahouse. He happened to see this person following King Ning. If the distinguished guest he invited at that time hadn't sighed that he was valued by King Ning at such a young age, he would not have recognized him at a glance now.

Chen Zhifu felt that he had discovered some kind of big conspiracy, and if he couldn't make it right, he would have to fall into it.

Master Shen smiled complacently, and then waved his hands modestly and said: "Where is it? Although I am satisfied, I still have to look after the child." After chatting with a smile, Master Shen asked what Chen Zhifu said just now.

"Master Zhifu, if you have any difficulties, just tell me. My nephew is here. You can tell me and let the young people come to help you refer."

Zhang Maochun was very humble on the sidelines.

Chen Zhifu was a little embarrassed, glanced at Zhang Maochun, gritted his teeth and said, "That's right, His Majesty will land in Yangzhou Mansion when he visits the South in July. This mansion wants to use your mansion as your majesty's house." Temporary residence, I wonder if my brother can agree?"

When Master Shen heard that this was the case, he hesitated, "This..."

Chen Zhifu put down the tea bowl, and said with a straight face: "Brother Shen, this is a great opportunity to show your face to His Majesty!"

Master Shen waved his hand, "Master Zhifu, I don't mean that, but my daughter was spoiled and spoiled, and she can't bear the hardship of living elsewhere." Although his family has another villa in Yangzhou, it is impossible to live comfortably in the garden, especially It's my daughter who can't stand the heat.

Chen Zhifu said happily: "This is easy to handle, but Mrs. Shen still lives in the mansion, as long as she doesn't disturb Your Majesty and the accompanying lady." Anyway, the harem of the past dynasties would not accept women from merchants into the palace, so there is no need for Mrs. Shen to be taboo .

Zhang Maochun listened and did not speak the whole time. When he heard that the emperor was coming, Mrs. Shen was still living in the garden. He frowned. He didn't expect to get such news. Fazi also took Mrs. Shen away.

"Father, what are you talking about? So happy?" Shen Hanqing rushed in suddenly with a group of maidservants.

Master Shen pretended not to be happy, and reprimanded: "Why didn't you let someone notify you and just barged in? There are no rules!"

Shen Hanqing stepped forward and grabbed Master Shen's sleeve and said coquettishly: "Daddy, don't I miss you? And there is no one guarding the door!"

"What?" Master Shen was furious, "Where's Zhao San? Where did that kid go?"

Shen Hanqing stuck out her tongue in embarrassment, "Probably because I ate something wrong and had diarrhea!"

Chen Zhifu at the side persuaded Master Shen to calm down, "It's good that the eldest niece is here, she must also know about this matter."

Only then did Shen Hanqing seem to see the prefect Chen, bowed his knees and said, "I have seen the prefect."

Chen Zhifu kindly called her to stand up, "Don't be too polite, niece. I said Brother Shen, my niece is getting more and more beautiful. I don't know who will take advantage of it." Zhang Maochun next to him took a look.

Master Shen didn't care about being angry anymore, and proudly said with his big belly: "Don't say it, the greatest achievement in my life is to have such a beautiful and beautiful daughter."

Next, Prefect Chen praised Shen Hanqing with all his heart, and a lot of compliments were thrown out as if he didn't want money.

Master Shen was elated when he heard it, and when Chen Zhifu saw it, he almost said directly, "Then this garden?"

Master Shen waved his hand, "Borrowed, borrowed!"

Shen Hanqing was confused when he heard it, and grabbed Master Shen's sleeve, "Daddy, what's the matter? You must not hide it from me!"

Mr. Shen enjoyed his daughter's acting like a baby. Before he said anything, Chen Zhifu took the lead to help Mr. Shen say it, "Niece, that's right. His Majesty will come to Yangzhou on his southern tour next month, so we will borrow this garden from your house as a gift." His Majesty's temporary residence."

Shen Hanqing flipped through his memory, and said with a surprised face: "Hey, didn't His Majesty always tour the south in February? It's hot in July, why did His Majesty run out?"

Master Shen reprimanded her, "You should be able to ask about this matter? Our family just needs to make good hospitality, and I can tell you that you will not be allowed to run around when the time comes."

Shen Hanqing rolled her eyes and readily agreed.

Master Shen still wanted to reprimand, but at this time, the prefect Chen saw that it was getting late, so he offered to leave.

Master Shen hurriedly got up to see him off, and now only Shen Hanqing and Zhang Maochun were left in the room.

Zhang Maochun blushed, lowered his head and acted like an innocent boy, not daring to look at Shen Hanqing.Shen Hanqing didn't bother to talk to him, and walked out directly.

Soon only Zhang Maochun was left in the room, his face turned green, he clenched his fists and gritted his teeth, and after he took down this yellow-haired girl in the future, he must make her look good.

When Shen Hanqing walked outside the door, a group of servant girls immediately surrounded him, and Qing He asked, "My lady, where are we going next?"

Shen Hanqing said directly: "Of course I'm looking for daddy, I still have something to ask?" When she couldn't see it, Master Shen avoided it just now so that she could get along with Zhang Maochun.

Hongliu raised her hand, her eyes sparkled and she said: "My lady, the master sent the magistrate to go out. If we go to the gate now, we can still meet him."

Shen Hanqing nodded in satisfaction, "Then let's go!" After she finished speaking, she took the lead out of the yard.There is a small sedan chair outside the yard, made of bamboo, covered with light gauze, with rings hanging on the armrests, and the rings jingle when walking, which is very interesting.

After Shen Hanqing sat on it, four stout servants lifted up the sedan chair, and several servant girls followed immediately.

Master Shen sent off the prefect Chen, and just turned around when he saw his daughter coming in a sedan chair. He frowned, "Daughter, why are you here? Where's nephew Zhang Xian?"

Shen Hanqing snorted, pouted and said, "If I don't come again, I won't even know I was sold by you!"

Master Shen was in a hurry, "What are you talking about? Dad knows you don't want to marry, but you have to think about how old you are. If you don't find someone to rely on, how long can Dad stay with you?"

Then you have to keep your eyes peeled!Shen Hanqing complained in her heart.

After getting off the sedan chair, she stepped forward and grabbed Master Shen's hand and shook it, "Father~" She glanced at Master Shen's belly, "As long as you are willing to get rid of your big belly, I guarantee you can live again 20 years!"

Master Shen rubbed his big belly and laughed, "Daughter, Daddy has something else to do, ah, by the way, that old bastard Wang was looking for me just now, I'll go first, you can play at home by yourself..."

"Hey!" Shen Hanqing saw that Master Shen didn't match his body at all and ran away in a hurry, stomping his feet angrily.

Then she gritted her teeth, "If you can hide from the monk, you can't hide from the temple! Qinghe!"

"Slave here!" Qing He stepped forward respectfully.

Shen Hanqing grimaced and confessed: "Pass it down to the kitchen in the house. From now on, the master's meals will have less oil, less salt and no meat!"

"Yes." Qing He said nonuo.

In the evening, Master Shen returned home, touched his stomach and said to Uncle Wang, "Old Wang, stay and have dinner with Master tonight!"

"That's a good relationship. It's been a long time since I dined with the master!" Butler Wang is the son of the previous housekeeper, and he grew up with Master Shen and has a deep relationship.However, compared to the chubby Mr. Shen, he is very thin, with a straight back and a dignified face. He looks more like an old man than the usually smiling Mr. Shen.

Butler Wang casually called a male servant, and sent him to run home to tell his mother-in-law that he would not be going home for dinner tonight.

"Let's get really drunk tonight, if we don't get drunk, we won't go home!" Master Shen walked towards his yard, shouting happily.

Uncle Wang was half a step behind him, with a rare smile on his face, which startled the servant girls in the room.

Soon, a group of maidservants filed in with dishes, and Master Shen smiled and beckoned Steward Wang to sit down.

After pouring a glass of wine, Steward Wang quickly took it.

Master Shen picked up the chopsticks and beckoned him to eat. The next second, when he saw the dishes on the table clearly, his face turned green, and he shook his hands and asked the maid who served the food with a livid face, "What kind of food are you serving here? Master, are you missing?" Have you eaten or drunk? Just serve these vegetable leaves to the master?"

The servant girl was aggrieved and said: "Master, my lady said that from now on, only you are allowed to be vegetarian."
