Rebirth of the High Gate Mistress

Chapter 315 Crazy

Jingshu chose the shop in less than half a month. She had no shortage of money. In order to develop the business for a long time, Jingshu spent 5,000 silver to buy the shop.

After choosing the shop, Jingshu began to decorate and hire shopkeepers. She was extremely busy every day.

On this day, she had just returned from checking the shop when she heard Ziyun reply that someone from the Yongping Marquis Mansion had sent a letter saying that he had agreed to marry Shen Jinglan.

 This was expected by Jing Shu.

Although the Yongping Marquis Mansion is far less prestigious than the Duke of Zhenguo Mansion, it is still a home with bells and whistles and will never allow its descendants to sow and fail to reap. The reason why their mistress made things difficult for Shen Jinglan is because of Qiao. It's just that I can't stand Shen Jinglan's behavior.

It is true that Shen Jinglan is shameless, but this matter cannot be slapped. The young master of the Hou Mansion is not a person of good character, otherwise he would not do such immoral things. If this matter comes out, Shen The family was in disgrace, but the Yongpinghou Mansion was not in good shape either. Jingshu sent a letter, and the Yongpinghou Mansion borrowed Po Xia's donkey.

It’s just that although Shen Jinglan married into a high family as she wished, the future life may be difficult.

Jing Shu couldn't care less about how the selfish Shen Jinglan lived. What she cared about was the face of the Shen family and her father's well-being.

"I've been busy with things in the shop these past two days. You can go to the warehouse to select some good wild ginseng and send them to my father. I'll tell the mother-in-law who is serving me to replenish my father's health every day. .”

Just as Ziyun was about to go down to prepare, Jingshu ordered again: "Princess Lanling gave me two fine pieces of the Four Treasures of the Study a while ago. You wrap up a set and bring them to Xing'er tomorrow. Autumn is coming soon. Then choose two pieces of thick, bright and solid satin from the warehouse to give to Xuan'er."

After listening to Jingshu's instructions, Ziyun agreed wholeheartedly, and then asked hesitantly: "I heard someone from the Yongping Marquis Mansion said that he plans to marry the second young lady in two months. Do you want me to give you two pieces of makeup?" past."

Jingshu has been in charge of the family for so many years, her mind has become more mature, and she has become more transparent about people and things. Shen Jinglan is worse than her biological mother, Wang, and is not worth treating her well.

Jingshu waved her hand and said: "There is no need to give her anything. I don't want to get along with her in the future, and that's it."

In ancient times, when a woman from an official family got married, her parents would bring a large dowry, and her brothers, sisters, and friends would also give her gifts as a dowry.

 Autumn means a good harvest, and weddings of wealthy families are often scheduled at this time.

The second girl in the second room of Zhongshun Hou Mansion was the handkerchief of Li Jinyan, the third girl in the palace. She also got married in the autumn. Jinyan went to Zhongshun Hou Mansion to send her some extra makeup. She happened to meet Zhou Jin at the gate of the Hou Mansion.

Jin Yan has long been accustomed to such coincidences.

How could Jin Yan not know Zhou Jin's thoughts about her all these years?

The elders of the two families had also made a verbal agreement, but the Zhongshun Houfu had always been worried about the incident of accidentally injuring the eighth princess because Zhou Jin gave the fox to Li Jinyan. In addition, the old lady of the dukefu also wanted to keep two more legitimate granddaughters. In the year, the two families were not in a hurry to change their posts.

 “What a coincidence?” Zhou Jin stood in front of Li Jinyan with some restraint, and made the same old-fashioned opening remarks.

Jin Yan smiled awkwardly: "It's indeed a coincidence."

Zhou Jin scratched his head stupidly, blushed and asked knowingly: "Cousin, are you here to add makeup to your second cousin?"

Jin Yan nodded at him.

Zhou Jin had nothing to say and asked, "I'm patrolling the streets right now. Why don't I see you going to the official school?"

Now that Jin Yan has reached the age of hair extensions, it is natural that she can no longer go to school in public. Faced with Zhou Jin's silly question, Jin Yan replied: "I have been busy with things in the government recently, and I have to help my sister-in-law take care of the housework, so I don't have time to go to the official school." " Jin Yan didn't want Zhou Jin to wait for her on the way back from school when she had nothing to do because he wanted to have a chance encounter with her.

After saying that, she added: "In the future, I will no longer have time to go to official school."

Now that several of her cousins ​​have gotten married one after another, and she is no longer going to the official school, this means that she has no chance to meet her.

Hearing this, Zhou Jin nodded calmly.

"It's getting late, I should go back." The Duke of Zhenguo and the Marquis of Zhongshun are cousins. It's not rude for them to say hello and exchange a few words when they meet, but it would be inappropriate if they chat for a long time. .

Although Jin Yan has an active temperament, she is aware of the importance of things.

Zhou Jin watched Jin Yan’s mountain carriage and stood there dumbly. She waited until there was no trace of the carriage anymore, then sighed and walked towards the mansion.

I don’t know when I will be able to marry my sweetheart and stay together every day.

Zhou Jin was anxious and depressed thinking about this. Little did he know that this was the last sweet encounter between him and Li Jinyan. When they met again after more than ten years, things had changed.

In the imperial city, in the magnificent Chonghua Palace, the eighth princess Qingyuan became mad again.

She smashed all the furnishings in the main hall to pieces, and even the personal maidservant was beaten to pieces with her whip until she lost her human form.

Concubine Meng Guifei has been exhausted mentally and physically for the past two years because of her daughter, who has been blinded and has fallen ill from time to time. When the palace officials reported that her daughter was ill again, her scalp became numb.

Concubine Meng, along with the imperial doctor and a group of palace attendants, rushed to the Chonghua Palace in a hurry. Five or six strong young eunuchs stepped forward and it took a lot of effort to subdue the eighth princess.

Everyone held her down firmly, and the imperial doctor was able to administer acupuncture to hypnotize her. After a while, she finally calmed down and fell asleep quietly.

After a while, Emperor Ming hurried over after receiving the news. The couple looked at their daughter who had been tortured to a state of disgrace, and they were so distressed that they shed tears.

Ever since he was blinded by a falcon in winter that year, Qingyuan's spirit has become bad, and he has become so crazy that he can't even recognize people.

 Her daughter has already reached the age of marriage, and Concubine Meng originally wanted to find a suitable husband for her daughter after she slowly recovers. Although the daughter's eyes were ruined, she was a princess and had no worries about finding someone willing to take care of her.

However, it was unexpected that instead of getting better, her daughter's madness was getting worse and worse. Concubine Meng knew in her heart that her daughter would probably never get better in her lifetime.

 Which man is willing to marry a madman as his wife?

"Luan'er's madness is getting worse and worse. What should we do if this continues? She is not married yet? What will she do for the rest of her life?" Concubine Meng fell into Emperor Ming's arms and cried so hard that her heart broke.

When his daughter said she liked Zhou Jin, Emperor Ming actually didn't think too highly of her. It wasn't that Zhou Jin wasn't good enough, but that Emperor Ming, a father who loved his daughter, always felt that his precious daughter deserved better. His beloved daughter looks like this now. , Emperor Ming also understood that this wish was probably a dream.

Since she can't marry her beloved daughter to a better one, she can just marry her to the one she likes as she originally wished.

Emperor Ming said bitterly: "My daughter naturally has no worries about getting married. Didn't she like the prince of Zhongshun Hou Mansion at the beginning? Since this disaster was also caused by him, he must take responsibility for my daughter. "
