Sweet Beauty Chapter 100: A game within a game
The Jinjiang system is anti-theft, and the proportion of VIP chapters purchased is more than 40% to see the latest update. He withdrew his gaze, looked at Jingshu with an unidentified expression, and found that Jingshu clearly understood his expression. , the displeasure of being interrupted was immediately replaced by an unspeakable sweet and sour taste, he closed the corner of his mouth, nodded slightly at Jing Shu, and walked around Wen Yuhan, who was still half-squatting in salute again, and left straight away. .
Wen Yuhan watched the corner of the black-colored jinwen clothes leave her sight. She stood up, then turned around and watched Jiang Yu's back disappear. She was dazed for a while, before turning her head to take a test. His eyes asked Jing Shu: "Sister Shu, how are you here with the third son of the king of Shu, do you recognize the third son?"
After speaking, I was surprised to find that Jing Shu's outfit today was really, uh, different from the past, and the inexplicable hostility that rose in her heart disappeared immediately.
Jing Shu looked at her lightly. She didn't know whether it was because of her past life experience or a gift from God to her in this life. Now she can always keenly capture other people's emotional changes. It's strange, just now her hostility to herself came and went.
Jing Shu didn't explain, why did she explain to her?
Jing Shuxiang didn't hear Wen Yuhan's previous question at all, and walked slowly back to the stone table to sit down, and then she asked Wen Yuhan with a smile, "Is Sister Wen also here to admire the green chrysanthemum? Speaking of which, there is really no better place to raise chrysanthemums than the Tsz Shan Monastery in this area of Shu. My grandfather's family is also a famous florist, and I think it's a bit inferior in this respect."
Wen Yuhan found that Jingshu was not as good as a merchant girl today, and she had left the question of whether Jingshu and the third son of the Prince of Shu knew each other. She thought that the third son was also here to appreciate the chrysanthemum and Jing. It happened by chance.
Although she is lonely and lacking in her heart, she is not without self-awareness. Naturally, she knows that the third son of the Shu Palace is not something she can easily climb up to now, so she can only pack up her mind and deal with Jing Shu.
It's just that she looked at Jing Shu's golden clothes and headdresses, her messy makeup, and her self-righteous, pretentious, but stupid, pig-like appearance, and a sense of injustice and dissatisfaction rose in her heart.
Why is this God so unfair, such a stupid and incompetent person, who was born with a good family background, was born in an official family, and had the huge financial support of his grandfather's family, and gave birth to such a coquettish person It's a pity that her brain is stupid. No matter how much external things God gives her, she is blind, it's just a waste.
But when she marries her brother in the future, Wen Yuhan will feel a little better when she thinks of the rich dowry that Jing Shu brought into the Wen family.
The Chen family is a wealthy businessman in Shu. I heard from my mother that when Mrs. Bai married Bai Tongzhi, it was really red makeup, not to mention the gold and silver jewelry, silk and satin, and the fields of Zhuangzi who were married to the dowry. Even the Chen family in Beijing has bought a lot of farmland for Madam Bai.
And Jing Shu is Madam Bai's only daughter. By then, most of Madam Chen's dowry will not follow Jing Shu to their Wen family. Jing Shu is soft and easy to handle...
I just want to persuade my mother to let her marry Jingshu into their Wen family as soon as possible. She is two years older than Jingshu. She has been studying for her brother all these years, and the family has almost bottomed out. What kind of dowry can be prepared for her, even the dowry of the daughter of any small family can be stronger than hers.
Without Jingshu's dowry, even if her brother can get into high school in the future, where will their family go to prepare their dowry? It is absolutely impossible to have a good-looking dowry in my husband's house. So I still have to coax Jing Shu a little bit.
Wen Yuhan is not a natural snob, but a child from a poor family who has long been in charge of the family. Her mother is only dedicated to her brother's scientific examination and future career, and she can sacrifice anything. Since she was a child, she has watched her family's situation go from bad to worse. The clothes that go out have to be taken out of his private room for a long time, not to mention any beautiful jewelry. If she doesn't plan for herself, where will she live in the future?
Wen Yuhan sorted out her complicated and unspeakable mood, and smiled and said to Jingshu: "I think it is because of the unique feng shui of this Cishan Temple."
While she was talking, she slowly walked to the stone table, sat next to Jing Shu, and continued with a smile, "But sister Shu, don't be humble, I heard that your grandfather's family, the Chen family in Shuzhong, The chrysanthemums are the top rank in our area of Shu, and the officials will choose to send them to the palace as tributes, and they even open semicolons in Beijing.”
Speaking of this, I glanced at Jing Shu again, and then said with a little joking, "Sister Shu, I heard Biman say that my brother has been here before?"
As he spoke, he pursed his lips and smiled, then took Jing Shu's hand and said kindly, "Sister Shu, my elder sister told you before that my brother likes elegant and virtuous women. The beauty of the chrysanthemum in full bloom in the back mountain is not the type that my brother likes."
Speaking of this, Jing Shu really lost her smile and stared at herself with wide eyes. She couldn't help but cover her mouth with a handkerchief and smiled, "I think I'll go to my sister's yard to help her dress up. Dress up, and then take advantage of the Mid-Autumn Festival to invite my sister out for a walk?"
Jing Shu only felt that she had seen it again today, and the hand held by Wen Yuhan was almost slippery. Sure enough, the Wen family's mother and daughter dug deep, with infinite connotations.
But she was still afraid that nothing would happen, and then the Wen family went to the capital, so Jing Shu naturally wouldn't object, so she resisted the urge to walk away, smiled and nodded to Wen Yuhan, and added: "It just so happened that I also prepared some good-bye gifts for Sister Wen. When Sister Wen comes, I can take them together."
Wen Yuhan was faintly happy when she heard this, and nodded with a smile.
The affairs of today and Wen Xiyuan are all developing in the direction that Jing Shu expected, but unexpectedly met Jiang Yu, Jing Shu has something in her heart, and did not want to talk to Wen Yuhan at all, so she said a few words and told Resigned due to physical discomfort.
Jing Shu returned to her room, but she didn't want to meet her mother Chen who had finished talking to Mrs. Wen in her room.
Chen Shi was taken aback when she saw her dress. She knew what kind of temperament Jing Shu was and what kind of clothes she liked.
Seeing Jing Shu dressed up like this, she knew there must be something wrong. However, she was a little tired from watching Jingshu, so she didn't ask any more questions. She only coaxed Jingshu to let her rest. When Jingshu fell asleep, she called Bi Xuan and Biman, who had been following Jingshu, to ask questions.
Chen shi asked the two maids to leave, but Jing Shu, who pretended to be sleeping, opened her eyes. She didn't intend to hide from her mother about what she was going to do about the Wen family, even if she had helped her. Will do more with less. It's just today's matter, but she doesn't know where to start. It's not a bad idea to let her mother get a general understanding from Bi Xuan and Biman first, so that she can explain it later.
Chen's family has a dowry at the foot of the mountain near Tsz Shan Temple. Considering that Jing Shu had just recovered from a serious illness, the Bai family did not return to the Bai Mansion in Changzhou City that day. Zhuangzi stayed.
After having breakfast the next morning, Mr. Bai Er went out to meet with friends again, and Mrs. Chen waved away the crowd, leaving Jing Shu to speak.
Chen took her daughter to sit beside her, and without going around in circles, she asked directly, "Shu'er, are you dissatisfied with the marriage of the Wen family?"
I learned the general situation from Bi Xuan Biman yesterday, and thinking about what her daughter told her about the Wen family a few days ago, Chen Shi is not stupid. After contacting her, she can guess her daughter's thoughts.
Jing Shu bit her lip, nodded and said, "Mother, these days my daughter is watching the words and deeds of Mrs. Wen and Miss Wen, and she feels that Mrs. Wen and Miss Wen are really not good friends, and Miss Wen has a high heart, but she has a family background. Pingping, the future marriage is likely to be a storm... My daughter doesn't like Wen's mother and daughter, so she wants to try what kind of character Wen Gongzi is..."
Chen shi looked at Jing Shu quietly, without interjecting, there was no blame or displeasure in her eyes, she just looked at Jing Shu with love and pity, and listened carefully to every word she said.
Chen was born in a business and was raised by her parents as a boy since she was a child. She doesn't stick to the current norms and constraints on her daughter's family. In her eyes, nothing is as important as her daughter's future and happiness.
Jing Shu saw that her mother's face was calm, not shocked and angry, she relaxed and got closer, hugged her mother's arm, her voice was obviously relaxed, and she said a little coquettishly: "Mother, My daughter deliberately dressed up like that to try to test him, but she saw that he showed disgust on his face, and he had a lot of pity for the graceful Biman. It can be seen that this person has a heart of pity for fragrance and jade, but at this time there is no condition to restrain it. Once rich and noble will not be satisfied with one wife."
"Afterwards, his daughter tried him with the gift of broken silver, and he was directly angry."
"But for more than a year since the engagement was made, the mother and daughter have privately funded the Wen family, and the daughter doesn't believe in Wen Xiyuan and doesn't know anything about it. The Wen family paid for his daughter's dowry, for fear that he would still hate her daughter and make him humiliated. If he didn't know it at all, this person was actually ignorant of the household affairs and controlled by his mother, and the day when his daughter was in the Wen family would be even more difficult. Its future will also be limited."
Chen just wanted to hear how her daughter felt about the Wen family and Wen Xiyuan, and why she didn't like the marriage, but she didn't think that her daughter would just try Wen Xiyuan, and she was able to analyze a lot of content.
Some may not be completely accurate, but there is some truth to it. Even after Chen's careful thinking, he felt that his daughter's speculation and estimation of this Wen Xiyuan, even if it was not all right, I am afraid that there are seven or eight points.
But she had her daughter in her heart in the end. She took the carriage on the third day after the wedding, and hurriedly drove the carriage back to her home in Changzhou City for two days.
Jing Shu really saw her mother's carriage coming back from a distance in the attic.
The familiar and unfamiliar blue-veiled carriage, as well as the thin black and thin black Uncle Wen who was driving the car in front, looked at it from a distance, and then from far to near, Jing Shu's heart thumped, and then her eyes gradually opened up. When it became blurred, the tears seemed to be inexhaustible, and more and more were wiped away.
She stood up abruptly, but she didn't care about this much. She just wiped her face and hurried down the attic. She didn't call Bi Xuan and others to serve her. She just hurried to the front yard. Go out, Baba's standing at the door waiting.
When Chen's carriage arrived at the door, she saw her little girl standing alone at the door wearing half-old and gray clothes, and her heart was really sore and aching as if it had been smashed and broken apart. .
Chen hurriedly got off the carriage and hugged her daughter before she could ask questions. She only checked Haosheng carefully and confirmed that she was really good. She had recovered from her illness and was a tender and tender daughter. I asked her how she was waiting at the door by herself, no one to serve, no cloak, and what to do when she was caught cold by the wind.
Chen Shi had a lot of questions to ask, but Jing Shu just looked at her mother, not even blinking her eyes. She held back the tears in her eyes. go.
When Mrs. Chen asked her, she couldn't hear it clearly, she just nodded "ummm" in a random way.
Seeing her like this, Mrs. Chen thought that she was particularly vulnerable because of her illness, and she felt aggrieved because she couldn't stay by her side to take care of her, so she took the handkerchief and wiped her face with pity. , worried that standing at the door blowing the wind would make her daughter cold again, and without saying anything, she dragged her directly across the yard and returned to her room.
Chen returned to the room and saw that there were fresh lotus branches on the table, and the light pink lotus buds were still full of water droplets. It was really fresh and pleasant. She saw her daughter tilted her head and smiled happily. I knew that it was her handwriting, and I felt a lot of ironing in my heart.
Her daughter, since she was a child, has such a nuanced and caring temperament that makes people feel pity and love.
After a while, the maids and servants brought hot water over. Mrs. Chen helped her daughter clean her face, and then she groomed herself. Then she took her daughter to use some light porridge, vegetables, fruits and side dishes. question.
Jing Shu thought that her mother had been in the carriage for two days. She must have been very tired. Although she was very reluctant, she still advised her to rest.
Seeing her daughter's reluctance to part with her big, wet and soft eyes, Mrs. Chen was both sad and a little funny. She just pressed her to sit beside her, and called the steward in Jingshu's house, Mammy Zhu, one by one. Mammy, a few big maids, Bi Xuan Biman and others, carefully asked about Jing Shu's daily life, the doctor's daily diagnosis and prescription, and so on. Knowing that her daughter's health is really fine, that's why. Let go.
Jing Shu has been sitting next to her mother watching her questioning, listening to her calm and steady voice, her heart only feels sore and soft, thinking of the sad days in Bai Mansion after her mother returned to the capital, Jing Shu thought, she is not in this world She will marry Ling Xiu'an, but she will definitely try to make her mother feel better.
********
And when Mrs. Chen returned home to see Jingshu's condition in good condition, she remembered that when her daughter fell ill with a high fever and was unconscious, she had gone to Cishan Temple on the outskirts of Changzhou City to seek help from Master Huiyuan, the host of the temple. Soul symbol.
It's strange to say that at that time, the doctor said that his daughter would be helpless, and even if she woke up, she would lose her mind because of the burning burn. , my daughter's fever gradually subsided, and her condition stabilized. When she woke up occasionally, she didn't look like a fool. The doctor said that it should be no serious problem. State City attends his nephew's wedding.
Seeing that my daughter is doing well now, I thought of taking advantage of the second day of Master Bai to go to Tsz Shan Temple to repay the vows and thank Master Huiyuan in person.
Chen was planning this, and naturally she would talk to her daughter. When Jing Shu heard it, an idea came to her mind.
She smiled and said: "Mother, my daughter forgot to tell you that the sister Wen's family visited a few days ago and talked about the matter of Mr. Wen going to Beijing to participate in the examination. Aunt Wen felt that Mr. Wen would go alone. They were very worried about going to Beijing for the exam, and they were planning to bring sister Wen and their family to move to Beijing. So they were also planning to go to the Cishan Temple for incense before the Mid-Autumn Festival and ask for a peace charm or something. Since the mother is interested If you go to the temple, why don't you invite them together."
Ms. Chen was taken aback for a while. First, it was because her daughter talked about the Wen family's natural and casual attitude, and second, because of the news in her daughter's words, that the Wen family actually wanted to accompany Wen Xiyuan to the Beijing high school for the exam. .
Beijing Middle School is expensive, and the whole family went to Beijing Middle School for a year and a half, which was a lot of money, and the Wen family was not familiar with Beijing Middle School. , if it is not done well, it will not be taken care of but a drag.
She has doubts in her heart, and she is naturally very cautious when it comes to her daughter's future husband's family. I didn't realize it at first, but now that I have been together as a future in-law family for a long time, Chen's worries about this marriage are getting deeper and deeper.
Three years ago, Wen Xiyuan won the third place in the Qiuwei District of Shu in one fell swoop. Because the first two are quite old, he is particularly conspicuous as a young man.
Master Bai Er was born in the Bai family, a famous scholarly family in the previous dynasty. He was born in the second-class jinshi, and has good knowledge. Since he arrived in Changzhou City, he was often invited to give lectures in the state school. Review Yuan.
