Rely on face to eat [Quick Transmigration]

The end of the year is approaching, the weather is getting colder, and it has been snowing for days, and the road is covered with a thick layer of cotton wool.

In the west of the city, in front of a mansion, there was a simple and chic carriage parked, with engraved golden bells hanging from the four corners, the shaft painted red, and several luxuriously dressed maids and servants were carrying luggage.

It is quiet here, with only a few pedestrians on the road.

The curtain of the carriage was lifted, and an old woman got out of the carriage first. In the snowy and windy weather, she unconsciously rolled up her sleeves, turned around and said, "My lord, the mansion has arrived."

A faint "good" sound came from the car, the voice was clear and noble, and people couldn't help but stop, wanting to lift the heavy car curtain and search for the owner of the voice.

A servant stepped forward and put on the footstool, and then, a young man in a moon-white brocade shirt and a fox-fur jacket got off the carriage neatly, his face was like a crown of jade, handsome and cold, It makes people look crazy, but there is a trace of imperceptible indifference in the eyes.

Shen Mian took the Tang Pozi handed over by the maid, warmed her hands, and looked at this freshly baked "Shen's house", quietly lost in thought.

Shen Momo stood beside him, supported his hand, and said, "My lord, it's cold outside, how about we go inside."

Shen Mian nodded, and slowly stepped into the mansion.

Now in the capital, what is said in the streets and alleys is nothing more than the true and false sons of the Yongle Hou Mansion, and the reconciliation and separation of King Cheng and his concubine. In short, Shen Mian has always been the protagonist at the center of the topic.

He had never had this kind of self-awareness before, so he asked for the letter of reconciliation from Yuncheng, and stayed in the palace for a few days, until news came from the Hou's mansion that Xiang Tianqi had recognized his ancestors and returned to his clan, and everything was settled. Slowly, someone cleaned the mansion and prepared for the relocation.

The old concubine couldn't wait any longer, and sent people to Qianqiu courtyard to urge her several times.

She didn't want a male daughter-in-law at first, but because he was the eldest son loved by Marquis Yongle, she only treated him three points with courtesy. Unexpectedly, not only was he not of the blood of the Marquis, but he was a son of a lowly servant. The concubine who killed her son, the old concubine was so angry that she couldn't eat for several days.

But she is not an idle person after all, knowing that Yong Lehou still has feelings for this son, it is not easy to tear his face, but she still plays the role of a kind and kind elder, but she mentions the matter of taking concubines from time to time, saying that she is getting worse and worse now, I just want to take a look at my grandson before I leave, and hope that he will be fulfilled.

When Yuncheng heard about this, he ordered someone to send He Li's book to Shou'an Courtyard for the old lady to read.

The old concubine calmed down when she saw He Lishu, and became more gentle towards Shen Mian, but she urged him a lot in her words, hoping that he would leave early so as not to have long nights and dreams.

After all, she still understands her son. Once she has a heart, it is as difficult as going to heaven to let go.

At first Shen Mian was still coping with it, but later she got really annoyed and simply excused her illness to see her, but now she finally moved out, and she was quiet.

This mansion is Shen Huai's dowry, and it has never been used. After sending someone to clean it, it can barely move in.

The servants he brought out from the palace were all old men who had served in the Hou's mansion. They understood his temper, so they were not in a hurry to prepare meals, but went to make tea first.

Shen Mian took her seat, closed her eyes and waited for the tea.

Shen Momo closed the window, put a cloak on him, and asked, "I don't know what the master's plan is."

Intend?Shen Mian is considering whether to attack Xiang Tianqi first, or Wei Ting, or both together.

But the third kind of risk is too big, and we need to consider one or two things.

He raised his eyes and said to himself: "I am in this situation, what else can I plan."

Seeing him like this, Shen Momo was afraid of poking his heartache, so she didn't dare to ask again, she just said: "It will be in the future, the master is very talented, so don't be in a hurry."

Shen Mian responded in a low voice. At this time, a servant walked up to him with a pile of calligraphy and paintings, and asked, "Master, I don't know where these calligraphy and paintings are placed."

Shen Mian took out the top scroll and unfolded it to read.

The teenager in the painting is dressed in spotless white clothes, leaning drunkenly on the railing, holding a luminous cup, and his lazy and drunken state is vivid on the paper. This should be absurd picture, but because of that desolate and handsome face, it only makes people feel Free and easy, proud.

It was the portrait that Xiang Tianqi gave him a long time ago.

Shen Momo said: "I don't know which master made this painting, it really paints you very well."

Shen Mian was silent for a long time, and said in a low voice, "It was made by Mr. Xiang."

Mother Shen was taken aback when she heard the words, and did not answer for a long time.

She was originally a servant of the Shen family, and she was supposed to be loyal to her master. The blood of the Shen family is her master, but since she followed Shen Mian, she has seen him suffer all kinds of grievances in the past six months, smooth out his pride, become more mature, stable, kind and gentle , now, I only recognize him as the master in my heart.

Therefore, he didn't think highly of the real son-in-law.

She said: "The old slave didn't look at it carefully just now, but looking at it carefully now, although this painting is well drawn, it is a bit frivolous."

Shen Mian could tell that she disliked that Xiang Tianqi grew up in a lowly family, and that it was difficult for him to be a decent person.

He put away the painting and said, "Send the rest to the study."

"Yes."

Seeing that he put the painting in the bedroom, Shen Momo felt helpless, her son was outstanding in everything, but he was too soft-hearted, which was why he was always bullied.

***

A few days later, someone from the Yongle Hou Mansion invited Shen Mian to attend the banquet.

Without saying a word, Shen Mian directly refused.Although he likes to watch the excitement, he absolutely cannot go to this occasion.

It's not that he can't understand that Yonglehou wants to show off to outsiders that his two sons stand out from each other, and they are all in the mood of dragon and phoenix, but what outsiders want to see is the embarrassment of him, the proud son of heaven, falling into the dust. The habit of being a joke.

What's more, he just reconciled with King Cheng. In the eyes of outsiders, he might be sad, and he would go to some kind of recognition banquet where he can laugh.

At that time, if he smiles heartily, others will say that he is heartless, and if he smiles falsely, they will say that he is forced to smile, and he is unwilling to accept a brother from a commoner background in his heart.

In short, no matter what you do, you are not human inside and out.

Although he didn't go, the banquet of Yonglehou was very lively, Shen Mian lived in the west of the city, and even heard the sound of firecrackers, it can be seen that it should be more lively than the birthday.

Marquis Yongle wanted to tell others that although this child was not raised by his side, his affection was not lost in the slightest.

Shangjing was lively all day, until nightfall, fireworks were still going off in the sky.

Seeing him staring out the window in a daze, Shen Momo saw that the bustle of the Hou Mansion made it even more desolate at this time, she lit a candle and called: "Master, it's getting late, let's rest."

Shen Mian didn't respond, she still looked out of the window and said calmly: "It seems that father is very happy today, but fortunately I never went back to the Hou's residence."

Nanny Shen understood what he meant, he was afraid that he would defeat the old marquis.

She said: "Young master, if you go to the Hou's mansion, the Hou will only be happier. If you go to the capital tonight, it will be lively all night."

Shen Mian raised her lips and said with a low smile, "Even though I know that Nanny is coaxing me, Huai'er is still happy."

When it was rare for him to be so childish, Nanny Shen couldn't help feeling pity for him, made him a cup of ginger tea, put it in his hand, and said, "Master, this is for warming up, drink it while it's hot."

After saying that, Wei Wei shrugged and backed out.

Shen Mian just took a sip, but heard some commotion outside the house, there are not many servants in his house, so it should not be so noisy.

Before he had time to put on his coat, he walked out quickly, and a drunken man hugged him in his arms. It was dark, and he couldn't see the face of that man clearly. The man's breath was full of the strong smell of wine, and he fell on his shoulder. up, calling his name in a low voice.

"Huai'er, Huai'er, why didn't you come today... I thought I could see you, I really miss you..."

Not seeing each other for a short time, Xiang Tianqi is known for his strength, he is clearly a frail scholar, but Shen Mian can't break free from his embrace.

There were few servants in Shen's house, all added up, there were not as many Dings from the Hou family who were behind Xiang Tianqi, no wonder they couldn't stop him and let him break into the backyard directly.

Hou's family Ding hurriedly stepped forward to plead guilty, saying: "The young master is drunk, we really can't stop him."

The servants dare not seriously stop the master, they are just persuading him from the sidelines, Shen Mian naturally understands.

He nodded slightly, and called out: "Xiang Tianqi, are you still conscious? Father arranged a banquet for you, how could you sneak out, go back quickly."

Xiang Tianqi tightened his arms, held him tightly in his arms, and said with a low smile: "Huai'er, my name is no longer Xiang Tianqi, I am Shen Qi, Huai'er, do you know that for you, I How much I gave up, these days, I miss you every day and night, miss your smile, your drunken face, and your body..."

He said the last two words very softly, deliberately leaning close to Shen Mian's ear, the hot air mixed with the smell of alcohol sprayed on the ear, making Shen Mian blush.

Shen Mianxin said, this person was probably really drunk, he dared to talk crazy in front of so many people, and asked someone to carry him into the house.
