Chapter 406 Sending Shen Miaoqing back home
"Sister Qing, you and I take a carriage, and I'll take you back home. We can chat for a while along the way."
Shen Miaoqing is a smart and transparent person, and he is also a very good listener.
This is rare among the ladies in Beijing.
Shen Miaoqing held her hand and looked at the large carriage with the logo of the Ninth Prince in front of her. Thinking that this was the carriage that the Ninth Prince would ride in every time, she felt a little awkward.
"Sister Jiuli, why don't you take my carriage?"
"After all, your carriage is too conspicuous. If I, the daughter of a small editor, sit on the carriage of the Ninth Prince's Palace, I am afraid that I will attract criticism."
It's true that because of her status, she is really not suitable to ride in the carriage of the Ninth Prince's Palace.
Seeing her awkward refusal, Luo Jiuli pulled her over.
"What you want is to be conspicuous, just for those people in the Shen Mansion to see. Otherwise, why does Sister Qing think I want to send you back to the Shen Mansion in person?"
"As for the criticism my sister mentioned, don't worry, no one dares to make up random things."
Shen Miaoqing couldn't resist her, so she could only follow her into the carriage anxiously.
The moment I got in the car, I felt a difference.
After all, it is the carriage of the Ninth Prince. The carriage is spacious and covered with thick fox fur mats. Even if the carriage moves, you will not feel any bumps.
In the carriage, Shen Miaoqing held Luo Jiuli's hand.
"Before, because of my status, I didn't pay much attention to things in the capital. However, even if I didn't pay attention deliberately, I heard about it more or less."
Luo Jiuli smiled lightly.
"Is this a rumor about me?"
Shen Miaoqing frowned:
"You also said that it was a rumor? How can the rumor be taken as true?"
"Sometimes, I feel that this person is quite strange. Obviously some people have never even met you, but when you spread the word, you really have a nose and eyes, as if he is a person who has experienced it."
Luo Jiuli smiled and said:
"Because in this world, spreading rumors and defamation does not constitute a crime."
"So, with just one mouth, a person can say whatever he wants."
"However, I am mentally strong, and those rumors and rumors do not pose a threat to me. Those people are just common people, and they are not worth my effort to deal with."
"But--"
Shen Miaoqing also knew that she was living in Jiuwang Mansion now.
"Although I don't know what happened between you and the Ninth Prince, I do know that the Ninth Prince must be enamored of you."
"Because you are really different from those rich ladies from famous and powerful families?"
"Those who are jealous of your family background, your medical skills, your knowledge of making money, and the fact that you have been praised by the emperor and favored by the Ninth Prince cannot find any other points to attack, so naturally they can only spread rumors."
"But what is the reality?"
Shen Miaoqing looked at her with a smile.
"The fact is that jealousy and aggression will have no effect on you. Instead, they will make you more frustrated and courageous."
"Sister Qing."
Luo Jiuli simply found a soulmate.
"My sister has a unique vision and can see through the phenomena to see the essence of problems."
She really has a strong character when faced with strong situations.
The more others say that her life is not good, the more she wants to live a better life.
"But you still have to be careful in the future."
Shen Miaoqing frowned slightly.
"You should know better than me how many people are staring at you and the Duke's Mansion right now."
"Now that the Duke of Guo has returned to the capital, and Yuan Liang has become the commander of the imperial army, I am a little worried. There are so many treacherous things happening in the court, and there are so many conspiracies and schemes."
"The more the Emperor and the Ninth Prince love each other, the more they will be jealous of some courtiers."
"What's more, there are the Queen Mother and Concubine Hu, and Prince Zhao, I'm afraid..."
Luo Jiuli patted the back of her hand and smiled extremely indifferently.
"I know."
Shen Miaoqing was heartbroken when she saw her calm and calm look.
"You know? But you don't seem worried?"
"What's there to worry about?"
Luo Jiuli really wasn't worried.
"When soldiers come to block it, when water comes to cover it, the earth will cover it. He has a good plan, and I have a wall and a ladder. I am worried that I will not be able to solve any problem, but will make myself tied up."
When Shen Miaoqing heard this, she nodded:
"you're right."
If it were her, she wouldn't be able to be as free and easy as she is.
Just at this moment, Nan Zhu's voice sounded outside the carriage.
"Master, the Shen Mansion has arrived."
When Luo Jiuli heard this, he opened the car curtain.
Shen's Mansion is a little far away from the imperial city, because Editor Shen's status is not yet that high, but in the capital city where a brick thrown can hit two officials, he can be considered a person of some status.
"Sister Jiuli, I'll get out of the car first and won't invite you into the house, so as not to cause you any trouble."
Luo Jiuli waved his hand.
"The trouble doesn't matter."
"I watched my sister enter the house and then leave."
"Um."
Shen Miaoqing was helped out of the carriage by Ling Zhu.
The two sisters said goodbye to each other, and then Shen Miaoqing entered the house.
Outside the Shen Mansion, there were servants coming and going. When they saw the eldest lady getting out of the magnificent carriage at the door, they all started whispering to each other. They turned around and ran back to the inner courtyard to tell the master of the house. mother.
When Mrs. Lu hurriedly ran from the backyard to the door of the house, there was no tall and majestic carriage anywhere, and the front door was empty.
"Did you really see that the eldest lady got off the carriage from the Ninth Prince's Mansion?"
Mrs. Lu looked at the little maid next to her who had just gone to report.
The little maid nodded hurriedly.
"Back to Madam, this slave really saw the carriage of the Ninth Prince's Mansion, and also saw the second young lady of the Luo family sitting in the carriage, talking and laughing with the eldest lady as she said goodbye."
"Second Miss of the Luo Family? Luo Jiuli? The Duke's Mansion? Huh! She hasn't even married yet? She's just trying to climb a high branch first."
Mrs. Lu snorted and turned around and walked towards the inner courtyard.
The attendant's confidant followed closely beside her, stepped forward and asked in a low voice.
"Madam, now that the eldest lady has a relationship with the Ninth Prince's Mansion, then, that matter -"
The implication is whether it can continue.
Mrs. Lu turned to look at her with a worried look on her face.
"Could it be that you want me to offend the palace?"
The confidant quickly bowed his head and became silent.
After Luo Jiuli watched Shen Miaoqing enter the house with his own eyes, he asked the coachman to change the route on a whim:
"Go to the No. 1 Pot in the World."
"yes."
The driver turned around and headed straight for the No. 1 Pot in the World.
Because it snowed heavily the day before, and the air was extremely cold after the snow melted, there were more and more diners at the No. 1 Pot in the World.
As soon as Luo Jiuli's carriage arrived at the entrance of the store, he saw two groups of customers quarreling over the issue of occupying seats.
When Luo Jiuli saw it, he didn't even get off the carriage.
"Nan Zhu, go and tell Zhang Wen that we will set up a new table in the lobby. Each of these two groups of guests will receive a plate of mutton as a thank you for supporting Tianxia No. 1 Pot."
"Yes, Master."
Nanzhu admired his master's bold and generous temperament.
When others are doing business, they are picky and fussy, fearing that they will lose some of their own meat.
