Chang’an’s First Beauty

Chapter 48 The Truth

When Shen Jie walked out of Chengyuan, raindrops fell outside, and Chang'an Street was full of shadows and dreams.

Qingli raised an oiled paper umbrella across Shen Jiu's head, "Have you seen the girl?"

Shen Ye nodded and said, "See you, let's go."

To Li Fu, she sat on the red sandalwood round bench and repeatedly recalled the landing feast. She didn't know for a long time. Shen Jiao's mouth twitched a bitter smile.

What a brilliant man.

The breeze blew, and she recalled the conversation of the genius.

The man had a deep look and a firm tone of voice, as if with a natural enchanting magical power, people could not help but guess and think according to his words.

His words will make you endless reverie, and make you think that everything he does is for Shen Zhen.

However?

He actually said nothing.

If you think about it for a long time, how can the princes of the township government participate in the party fight for the daughters of criminals?Seeking medical treatment for the East Palace, but the saint wanted to help the prince.

Everything he does, if summed up in four words, is to follow the trend.

Shen Jiao's two fingers squeezed the edge of the cup, and Shen Zhen's temperament became the man's outer room. How is it different from the sheep entering the tiger's mouth?

But what is she qualified to blame Lu Yan?

His position is right to follow the trend, even what he said to himself in the end-if Shen Zhen falls into the hands of others, it will not be better than it is now.

Ah.

Shen Ni laughed at herself.

Many things, from the beginning, were her fault.

As night fell, Qingli walked in with a basin of water, "Girl, curfew outside, my aunt should not return today."

Shen Ji "huh" said, "Wait for me to change clothes."

Shen Ji faded the upper jacket.

Looking at the blue and purple on his arm, he was startled, these were the man's left on her.

He has already started with himself, how can he go home?

Shen Ji pushed her hair behind her ears and looked at the swaying candlelight in the room, recalling it five years ago.

She met him that year, but only sixteen.

It was a summer day, and she followed several sisters to enjoy the flowers in the Shumil Pavilion beside the Mulan Lake. Perhaps it was the reason that it had just rained. The blue stone road was too slippery. She accidentally went straight to Mulan. Planted in the lake.

Chi Shui choked into her nose.Just listening to the "slam", someone got into the water.

Under the public eyes, she was just hugged up by Li Di.

The next thing, a fool also guessed it-Li Di went to Yunyang Houfu to raise a relative.

Shen Lao didn't believe that there was such a coincidence in this world. On that day, all the Shumi Pavilion was surrounded by women. How could such a coincidence have a poor scholar with no reason?

Poetry admiring flowers, rescued her from falling into the water, and then made everyone know the city?

When she is stupid?

Yunyang Hou sent someone to check him, but the news that came back all proved that he was just a cold student who came to Beijing from Jingzhou to take the exam, without any backing.

Even so, Shen Ao is not willing to marry him.She once threatened that she would rather be a monk than enter Li Mansion.

But Li Di refused to give up.

He actually took a whole year to marry Shen Ao.

On the day of the Lantern Festival, Shen Jiao took two younger sisters to walk the street. When she looked at a lamp hanging on Chang'an Street and floating on the banks of Jingshui Lake, the lamp was blushing.

"Shen Ji, be my Li's housewife, and Li Di will never fail you in this life."

I don't know whether Shen was too stupid or Li Di was too treacherous.He said this, she believed so.

In the year when Li Di entered the high school, Shen Jiao was just seventeen.

When the Li family's sedan was parked outside the Zhu Gate of Houfu in Yunyang, most people sighed and said that the Shen family girl was married.

But she, dressed in Feng Guanxia, ​​has no difference in her eyes. She naively thought that life is hard and needs self-knowledge. He is better for himself than anything.

For the next four years, Li Di did not disappoint her.

Although Li Di was born in a humble beginning, his appearance is not inferior to others.In addition, he has no bottom line for Shen Lao, I don't know how many Chang'an noble girls called to marry.

"Shen Ji, you married me, and indeed made you wronged."

"What are you ashamed of? I only treat you like this, so I won't waste you marrying me."

Once she listened to such words, she would cover his mouth.How could a man who has been studying hard for her all night without self-esteem.

Later, she would not allow him to say such words.

The past is like smoke, the wind blows away.

When the 21-year-old Shen Lao looked back and looked at the 17-year-old self, there was only one idea in his heart, he could not understand people well, and he had a bad fruit.

He held her like a pearl for four years. In the end, it was false, and the wolf's ambition was true.

In his eyes, there was no love at all, she was so sad, but it was just a ladder he was soaring up.

All the secrets sinking into the deep sea surfaced one by one when the Shen family fell...

In the fifteenth year of Qingyuan and the tenth day of September, this was the seventh day after Yunyang Hou was imprisoned.

Shen Ni looked anxiously at the letter on the table.

She paced back and forth inside the house, thinking about how to send the letter to Bianguan.

At this moment, Li Di returned to the house, walked to her side, picked up the letter and said, "Who is this for?"

"Changping Hou Sulian."

The Su family and the Shen family are friends, not to mention that Su Lian is a military officer, and Shen Wenqi is a civil servant. The two grew up together.

The Su family is Shen Lao's last hope.

"Changping Hou?" Li Di frowned, "I have something to do, and I haven't told my wife yet."

"What's the matter?" Shen Ji said.

"Early this month, Changping Hou personally led troops to fight against Goguryeo and ended up in the enemy's ambush."

Shen Lao was shocked, "lost? What about General Su?"

Li Di shook his head, "The saint's chase has come down, and my wife is sad."

Shen Ji's eyes were red and painful, "How could this be..."

Li Di held the letter in his hand and said in a deep voice: "I heard that Changping Hou Shizi Su Heng is about to go with his uncle, and his wife wants to send the letter. Tonight, she has to send it away, otherwise it will be too late."

"Go, let's go to the post now." Li Di said again.

Shen Ji said: "If it fails, I can't believe the people at the post, maybe it will be intercepted without being halfway."

Li Di narrowed his eyes and replied: "That lady might as well give me the letter. I have a choice."

Shen Ji said: "Who is the husband going to send to?"

Li Di said earnestly: "I recognize some people from the rivers and lakes. They have always only used money to do things, which is fairly reliable."

Shen Ni nodded.Without much thought, he handed the letter to him...

Misfortune is not alone, and blessing is unparalleled.

A wave is unsettled, another wave is rising.

On September 15th, Jin's Qian Yinpu suddenly took out a letter bearing the seal of the Shen family.

Shen Ji took a cold breath.

Eight thousand.How do you pay this money?

On the night of the day, she kept the vacancy alone.It wasn't until dawn that Li Di returned slowly.

Shen Ji took a step forward and supported him, trembling: "Where did Fujun go yesterday?"

Li Di said with a drink: "Shen Jiao, you shouldn't control it, you just don't control it."

He has never spoken to himself in such a tone.

Shen Jia's face changed slightly, and she couldn't believe her thoughts.

But he hasn't returned home at night lately...

Shen Ji straightened his back and looked at him, saying one by one: "Where have you been?"

"Shen Ji, I hate you so high for this look." He raised his hand and pinched her chin, "This is what you look like when you are happy with me. I was thinking at the time, Madam Shen Give me alms?"

After having been a loving couple for four years, Shen Lao was angry again, and still regarded these words as drunk.

Shen Jia waved her hands around her, and then said, "Aren't you never drinking? Li Di, what kind of wine madness do you play?"

"Oh," Li Di stumbled and said, "Everyone talks about vomiting truth after drinking, do you think I dare to drink?"

Shen Ni looked like ice, and noticed something was wrong, said: "Do you have something to tell me?"

Li Di smiled, "Shen's family is all down. What are you doing here to pretend to be with me? Li Di, I've never been yours."

Shen Ni disdain to speak with the same drunk.

She looked as usual and went out without a word.

It was only later that she learned that every word Li Di said that day and night was not drunk.

He is indeed not her indispensable. He was in Jingzhou and had been married to his cousin.

Instead of getting married, go for a wife.

His wife, He Wanru, fell at the age of fourteen to save his mother.

For his career, he left He Wanru in Jingzhou and used means to erase this experience.

After Shen Jie knew everything, she got up and went to her mother-in-law, Wen, asking for her dowry.

Shen family's debt, she can't let Shen Zhen bear it.

Unsurprisingly, the mother-in-law who was kind to her on weekdays suddenly changed her face.

"Shen, you are my Li's housewife. The things you bring in will naturally follow the surname of Li. Ziheng is now at the time of high promotion. You will only drag him down! Our Li family is not obligated. Take care of your brother and sister!"

Shameless.

This is the first word Shen Ji thought about.

Shen Ni sat down facing Wenshi and smiled angrily, "My mother-in-law holds my dowry, is she going to ask Li Ziheng to marry his cousin from Ho family?"

Wen's panicked, "What are you talking about?"

Shen Ji took the tea from the side and took a sip. His face was full of calm and nobleness. "He can climb to today, it is not easy, but if I want him to taste the ascent and fall, it is not necessary." "

The Wen's took the case and said angrily: "What do you want to do?"

"My dowry." Shen Ni raised her head and whispered: "As long as the mother-in-law is willing to return my dowry to me, then I will give the cousin of the family to Mrs. Li's position, how?"

Wen's hand trembled, "Dare you threaten me? Shen Ji, as of now, our Li family is still willing to keep you as a sin family, it is already a matter of mercy, how did you repay me?"

The girl of the Shen family, how proud it is. Once she feels cruel, ten Wen's are not her opponents.

"Sin dependents?" Shen Jimei's eyes were filled with smiles, "Your Li family, in the final analysis is the cold door. What is the cold door? It's just that the people who are used to the days of wind and rain, and the poor people, will be lost as soon as they are rich. Looking at it, the daughter-in-law's dowry is worth holding like a baby?"

Venturi was so angry that his whole body was shaking.

Shen Ye knows how to defeat Wen's.

Her mother-in-law entered Beijing since she was most afraid of others mentioning old things from the past. She deliberately imitated the dresses of the ladies in Beijing and forced herself to change the accent of Jingzhou. Madam, enjoy tea together and sing poetry.

During this period, I do not know how many jokes have been made.

Shen Ji took off the peacock gold hairpin that Wen merchants wouldn't wear, and took Wen's hand to speak Jingcheng dialect, afraid of touching Wen's fragile self-esteem, she was patient and made tea for her every day. , Every process is done especially slowly.

She didn't dare to be a teacher of Wenshi, she could only influence Wenshi in this way.

But in the end, what did she get?

Wenshi shook his lower lip and pointed at Shen Ji's face with his index finger: "You have been married to our Li family for five years, and you haven't felt any movement in your stomach. I didn't teach you, but did you teach me? Believe it or not? I called Zi Hengxiu to you! Now I'll sweep you out, I think where else can you go!

"Hugh." Shen Jiao smiled in the corner of his mouth. "He wants to quit me, that is to the court. At that time, you can ask the adults of Jingzhao to come to a sentence. Is it a crime against your mother-in-law? Is it guilty of tossing your wife to marry?"

Shen Ji saw Wen's eyes changed, and continued: "If the world is known, he first married a daughter of the He family, then made a false registration in the household, and turned back to the Shen family to marry me, then Master Li's career , I'm afraid it's coming to an end."

"You shut up!" Wenshi said again.

Shen Ji sneered and said, "Dare you dare to do such a shameless thing, are you afraid to say?"

As soon as Shen Ni's words fell, Wen's covered her temples and bent down painfully.

Real, true, false, true and false.

Shen Jie had no mirror in front of her, but she seemed to see Li Di and Li Ziheng standing behind her.

"Mother!" Li Di quickly stepped up to support Wen Shi, turned back and screamed at Shen Jiu: "Shrew! Who gave you the guts."

Shen Ji turned her head and left.

She thought that he just loved something else. Unexpectedly, he had no conscience.

On September 20, the news that Li Di was promoted to the assistant of the Ministry of Industry spread throughout the capital.

After Shen Ni listened, he almost did not laugh out loud.

Yueer stopped at the treetop, she left a light deliberately.

She knew that the man would definitely come back tonight.

Li Di pushed open the door of the inner room, and at a glance saw Shen Ji sitting on the couch.

The little charming face was full of anger.

Shen Ni stepped forward and raised his hand and gave him a slap. "I ask you, does the sudden collapse of Chengxiqu have anything to do with you! Have you sent the letter I gave you!"

Li Di touched his face and replied: "I burned that letter."

"Chengxiqu?"

"No comment."

Shen Ji picked up the cup on the table and threw it on him. With red eyes, he collapsed and said: "My Shen family! I Shen Ji! What's wrong with you!"

Li Di brushed the water stains on his body and looked at Shen Ji and said: "Shen Ji, the party struggle will have victory or defeat. The father-in-law put his net worth on the dying prince. He has no way of life. He can only stay for two years and stay. Life, you are content."

Shen Ji’s nails slowly sink into the flesh, suppressing all his anger, "Li Di, I have been married to you for four years, I think I have never done something that is not right for you! You gave me my dowry , You and the daughter of the He family, I will rotten in my stomach in this life, I will be separated from you, make room for her."

Li Di looked down at Shen Lao, "You are not qualified to discuss the conditions with me."

Shen Jiao said: "Li Di, I will die with you."

Li Di looked into her eyes and said, "Do you know why the Shen family had an accident, and Lu Si of the Hanlin Academy resigned?"

Shen Ji clenched her fists, and I don't know why he mentioned Uncle Lu.

Li Di leaned over and whispered in her ear: "The year I married you, I shouldn't have been a prince, but my father-in-law was reluctant to marry you to me who didn't have any merits, so I went to the examiner Ruth Breathing."

Shen Ni pushed him away, "Are you crazy? Aye will not do such a thing!"

Li Di grabbed her waist and continued: "Listen to me, the year I participated in the imperial examination, the saint deliberately created a nickname system to prevent cheating. Father-in-law had no choice but to let me write in advance An article was inserted into Lord Lu's sleeve."

Shen Ji was stiff.

"On the day of the scientific expedition, I wrote the article that was almost going back and forth. Sure enough, the title of the gold list. Shen Ji, do you understand? This is a good ye for your selfishness."

"Do you have a conscience!" Shen Mi glared at him.

Li Di smiled, "Don't think about getting away from me, or thinking about taking money out of the Li family. If the fish dies, I can't do it at all, but my father-in-law can't get out anymore. Shen Ji, you have to think about Shen Hong."

"According to the laws of Jin Dynasty, those who participated in cheating in the imperial examinations, the three generations of the family are prohibited from participating in the imperial examinations.

...

Thinking back together, Shen Nio grabbed Qingli's hand, and then said: "Qingli, let's go to Xishi tomorrow."

Qing Li said: "Is the girl really willing to start?"

Shen Ji Youyou said: "The sentiment is long gone."
