Chapter 164 (2/2)
Cong Yang gave her a bow, “Young Madam”
Shen Miao said, “Don't callMadam”
“Yes Young Madam”
Shen Miao, “…” After a long while she waved her hands and said helplessly, “NeverXing left in a rush, sees to do Shen Miao had felt uneasy about thewent to kill Su Ming Feng”
Cong Yang said, “This subordinate do not know”
Shen Miao took a deep breath Not knowing anything to whatever the question asked Xie Jing Xing was not sending a secret guard but one ouldHe looked young and strong so tomorrow one would instruct him to the little kitchen to chop firewood
Xie Jing Xing had gotten out of the Shen mansion and instructed Tie Yi, as beside hi's letter”
Ji Yu Shu was one who had the character of wanting the world to be in chaos since his life was just too boring To actually make such trouble for hi?
Tie Yi co Great Master Guan Zhen had arrived in Pu Too Monastery and previously His Majesty instructed you to take a look Since it is in Ming Qi, when do you plan to leave?”
Xie Jing Xing thought about it briefly and said, “Tomorrow”
On the second day, the weather was excellent
Luo Tan had recently fell in love with cuttingblosso that it was the end of the year, one could cut some auspicious patterns to be pasted on the s as decorations, thus she brought over a large pile of red paper and scissors so that she could cutpatters with Shen Miao
As Shen Miao was cutting, she started to remember some matters of the past
In the previous lifetime in Qin country, those Princesses and Princes would deliberately make fun of her and made her cutblossoms and do eht that her eyes becaht her vision would be blurred and there was a layer of calluses on her hands which h
After co sandstone to her so that she could sand off her skin but no matter what the calluses could not be worn off It was at that ti Fu Xiu Yi's birthday celebration, the beauties of the Palace would send gifts to coax the EHou (Chinese Harp) and her delicate jade fingers were fluttering by that everyone in stared at it
When it was her turn, Shen Miao gifted an embroidery of a landscape She was an E or dance That enanimous and Fu Xiu Yi was obviously fond of it and the officials all praised it but Mei Furen did not care and insisted on Shen Miao perforHou (Chinese Harp)
Shen Miao was unwilling and she looked pleadingly at Fu Xiu Yi but he just played it down, “Since Mei-er has some interest, the Empress should play a piece for this E for many years”
Shen Miao was forced till she had no choice but to play
Shen Miao kne to play the KongHou (Chinese Harp) as she had learnt a nuh theas Mei Furen, it was still presentable However it had provoked discussion between the officials, ridicule fro and talked about it
Why? It was really because that pair of hands that plucks KongHou (Chinese Harp) were just too ugly It was because one would often did handicrafts all year and one could see thick big scissors between one's fingers That pair of hands were bulky and rough, unlike the hands of an Empress of a country should have and more like the hands of a rural farmer's wife
It was a stark contrast then the delicate and fair jaded hands that she had before
She was very fearful Not fearful that she would be sha would be pointed and talked about by others When she was playing the KongHou (Chinese Harp) she watched as Mei Furen smiled seductively, saw Fu Xiu Yi's cold facial expression and her heart was so saddened that she wanted to cry It was just that Shen Miao could not cry Because of Wan Yu and Fu Ming, she nified Erace
She had put on an appearance of uncaring but upon returning back to KunNing Palace, she would get Shuang Jiang to bring her two sandstone and grind down one layer of skin on her hands
Luo Tan saw that SHen Miao was lost in her thought and called her, “Youngest Biao Sister?”
Shen Miao recovered to her senses and that pattern of awas destroyed She could not help but laughed bitterly
After her rebirth, her hands were still delicate and tender but those calluses seemed to exist and would reh straits
Shen Miao threw aside the sissors and said, “Not cutting anymore”
Luo Tan said, “Ah” Before asking, “Why not?”
Shen Miao casually said, “Callus will grow”
Luo Tan, who always had a fascination with Shen Miao, could not help but have a strange expression on as she said, “It's not like one will cut day and night so hoould callus grow?” She then said, “No wonder your little name is called Jiao Jiao”
Shen Miao took a sip of the tea that was served and saw Gu Yu walking in froo to the main hall”
Luo Xue Yan did not have official duties today and was currently in the residence Shen Miao asked, “What matters does Mother call me for?”
Gu Yu hesitated for a , “This servant does not know but the Furen of the Su fa with Furen in the main hall”
“Su fa the teacup down, “The Count of Pin Nan's Su family?”
“Exactly is”
In theto Su Furen
Su Furen did not cootten two snow sparrow and this sparroere only available in the Northwestern region Su Furen feared that one would raise it incorrectly and knowing that Luo Xue Yan was froion, she specifically came over to as how to raise the snow sparrow in order for it to survive?
Luo Xue Yan initially thought that Su Furen was joking with her but upon seeing Su Furen's sincere appearance, there was no signs ofa joke She also mentioned the two basket of fruits that was freshly sent from the country side that were especially sweet
Previously the Formidable Great General residence and the residence of the Marquis of Lin An was on opposite sides and the Su faood relations with the residence of the Marquis of Lin An, thus naturally the Shen and Su faers Two years ago when there was an incident with the Shen family, the Su family even threw stones and subh at the end it ilance, but Luo Xue Yan had remembered it
It's just that the other person came with such enthusias face, Luo Xue Yan could not put on a cold appearance She felt somewhat puzzled in her heart as this Su Furen asked how to raise the snow sparrows but after talking for almost half a day, she did not even mention about the snow sparrows and instead talked about the novelties and stories of Xiao Chun City with Luo Xue Yan and kept on praising Luo Xue Yan had raise her children well and gave birth to such a good son and daughter She praised her so much Luo Xue Yan's face turned red
After being praised for so long, Luo Xue Yan thought that Shen Miao should co Shen Miao out However her heart was suspicious, could it be that now that the residence of the Marquis of Lin An was about to fall, the Su fa for oneself so they came over to flatter the Shen family?
If it was so then one could notlike this, Luo Xue Yan felt that she was so Su Furen looking earnestly at the doors, she felt even more stuffy However words that were said were like water that was poured out, it was not good to refute it
When the servant outside reported that the Young Lady was coht and looked at the doors with excitement
One then saw a young fe in fro appearance and her broere somewhat heroic and complexion heat coloured and when she walked over, she was ju over Her hair was up in a deer style and only have a pair of pearl earrings on her entire body with a red dagger on her waist
Su Furen, “…” She did not think that Su Ming Feng actually liked this kind of felance… Was really lively and untamed
That young feest Gu”
Youngest Gu? Su Furen was startled and only then saw clearly that there was another young fe a lilac coloured plated robes with a crescent moon waist and a snohite cloak was draped over her Her co shell, with a pair of round bright eyes The little nose andher appearance adorable However there was a strange atmosphere that suppressed all the adorableness She walked very dignified and proper mannered as if she was from the Palace When Su Furen er ad saw the E lady had the same vibe with the Empress and even more noble than the Empress As she walked, the chin was coldly pointed to the wole movement illustrated the nobility of what the position held
That young fe at Su Furen
Luo Xue Yan quickly said, “This is the Furen of the Count of Pin Nan's Su fahter and my Zhi Nu, Tan-er”
Shen Miao and Luo Tan bowed and greeted Su Furen
Su Furen previously did not attend the Palace banquet and only heard that Shen Miao's confrontation wth Princess Ming An so she thought that Shen Miao was not an easy going person Thus when she heard Su Ming Lang that Su Ming Feng had taken a fancy with Shen Miao, she was somewhat fearful However one must come over to take a look and she thicken her skin to send her card over since this was a lifelong event for her son Thinking that Shen Miao was an unruly feht Luo Tan was Shen Miao Now that she had saw the person for real, she really felt that the facts and iination was as far apart as the north to the south
She smiled as she took two pouches out and stuff them onto Shen Miao's and Luo Tan's hands, “Shen Furen really kno to raise people This Zhi Nu and daughter are all so good looking Just noas still thinking where did this fairy came from Shen Furen is truly fortunate”
Luo Tan and Shen Miao looked at the pouches in their hands with some surprise This was not the New Year's so why the need for pouches to be gifted? If one were fa known that the Su and Shen family did not have any relations Could it be that 's end? But even if it was exposed, what did it got to do with Su Furen co to the Shen residence?
Luo Xue Yan was so those pouches She wanted to say so but one did not expect that Su Furen held her doith both hands, “If you decline it then I will get angry I only felt that these two young lady is beautiful and well-mannered and like theift Everyone said that Shen Furen is one who is forthright, so why is one so stingy?” She then sighed, “It would be good if I have two daughters”
Luo Xue Yan was really confused by Su Furen that she was unable to find North and could only follow along with her words, “What kind of words is that? There are two sons in Su Furen's residence and that is also excellent”
“How is it excellent?” Su Furen shook her head, “Ming Lang is very stubborn and would not improve all day and only kno fool around with his Father I cannot be bothered about it One heard that your Qiu-er is very sensible when he was younger I am really very envious of it
“Isn't there still Ming Feng?” Luo XUe Yan s talent”
Su Furen's heart was overjoyed as she looked towards Shen Miao and Luo Tan, “Two Ladies, we are chatting soo play by yourselves I will talk to Furen on some intimate stuff”
This was obviously trying to separate the was brought up, Su Furen sent her away, if one did not guess incorrectly, then Su Furen really came because of yesterday's matter?
When Luo Tan and Shen Miao walked outside, Shen Miao use the short that as she was turning and said siftly, “Cong Yang, go to the main hall and listen to what they say”
Sh knew that nocould hear it Luo Tan saw it and asked, “Youngest Biao Sister, what are youabout?”
At the lance at Luo Xue Yan, “One does not hide fro is indeed not bad For so many years, he had never let me and his Father worry about any h level of knowledge that he entered officialdo Moreover he was filial and well mannered One would not be able to find someone like him even if one carrys a lantern to look”
Luo Xue Yan had a smile on her face but she felt aard in her heart Just now she was saying Shen QIu was good and now she was saying that her son was nu capital Hoould one praise themselves like that
Just as she was thinking about it, one heard Su Furen sighed exaggeratedly, “Just a little not good is that this son of , he would not like others Thus he is not ”
