Chapter 82: As long as I still have a mouth today, don't even think about it...
Shi Qing and Yun Zhi accompany Shi Ju to see guests.
It was just inconvenient for Yun Zhi to carry the rabbit cage in his hand, so he handed the rabbit cage to Mihe, and they would chase after them a few steps later.
Shi Ju glanced back, with a smile in his eyes, "Don't bully him, he's all about you."
Just like Shi Qing's tail, he follows wherever she goes.
"I just made fun of him. I didn't bully him. I didn't even bother to look at anyone else."
Shi Qing also followed and looked back, his smiling eyes curled up, piercing Yun Zhi's little thought, "He wants to see the fun with me."
"What's so exciting about the literati world?" Shi Ju shook his head slowly.
The liveliness of the literati is much better.
The Shi family came here today is a rare visitor, mainly because Shiju was the imperial censor before Shiju, and the officials of the Manchu Dynasty generally would not go to the door of Shifu unless forced to do so, so it seems that someone from Shifu is visiting rare.
Especially the one who came was Shen Yuan, the wife of the eldest prince.
Shen Yuan was about the same age as Shi Ju, both thirty-four or five years old, with elegant temperament and good looks.
Even at this age, she still has a faint bookish air on her body, and her smile is very charming.
When she went to Beijing to take the exam that year, Shen Yuan and Shi Juyin became confidants, and even agreed that if the children born in the future were of different genders, they would become husband and wife.
In the end, I don't know what happened, and the two have not been in contact for many years.
Even if they are officials of the same dynasty, they rarely move around.
The most recent intersection was after the release of the list at the beginning of this year, when the Shishen family dissolved their engagement.
That's it, it was the eldest prince who came to break off the marriage, not Shen Yuan.
She, the concubine, doesn't seem to ask anything, she is the "good helper" standing behind the husband.
Including Li Yunqing's assassination of Shi Qing in the post house outside the capital, it was obvious that Li Yunqing was from the Ministry of Rites, but this was also related to the eldest prince, and Shen Yuan, the Minister of Rites. No involvement.
Everyone just thinks that the eldest prince is in strict control. Shen Yuan's background is not high, and she has no right to speak in the mansion, so the eldest prince comes forward.
Shen Yuan is like a clear pool that can see the bottom at a glance, all the filth has nothing to do with her.
However, Shi Qing's biggest impression of this person is her words two days ago.
Qian Huanhuan, the leader of the Ministry of Rites, arranged a new play. When Shen Yuan mentioned this to the Queen, she clearly left herself out, saying that Qian Huanhuan had covered up the trick tightly, She has never seen it.
It sounds like Qian Huanhuan's drama is new enough, but it's not.
Shen Yuan, as a minister of the Ministry of Rites, a minister of the Ministry of Rites, if she really doesn't know any news, then she has lived in vain all these years.
What's more, the Shen family and the Qian family have no life-long friendship. It is impossible for Shen Yuan, an old fox, to trust Qian Huanhuan unconditionally.
Shen Yuan left herself first that day, and Qian Huanhuan was responsible for the incident.
If she is rewarded, it is her unconditional support and trust from the top that she has achieved today.
"I think what happened to the two of you back then..." Shi Qing walked side by side with Shi Ju, looked up at Shen Yuan who was standing at the gate of Shifu, clicked his tongue, and affirmed, "Absolutely. It was her fault."
Shi Ju looked sideways at Shi Qing in surprise, although she was moved by Shi Qing's unconditional trust, she still smiled faintly.
She said, "I can't say right or wrong about what's going on in the courtroom. ... But the level of character can be seen at a glance."
Shi Ju is good, and will not easily judge and demean others in private.
It is understandable to have different political positions, but it is despicable to use the friendship between the two to achieve her own purpose.
Shi Ju was very relieved about the former incident, but not so easy to forgive for the latter incident.
"Sir Shen."
Shi Ju raised her foot and stepped over the threshold, but did not go down the steps, and looked down at Shen Yuan who was standing beside the sedan chair, "Why do you think of visiting today?"
Shi Qing stood beside her and saluted Shen Yuan.
Shen Yuan walked up to the door step with a smile and stood in front of the mother and daughter of the Shi family. Although she looked at Shi Qing, she was speaking to Shi Ju.
"In the blink of an eye, Xiaoqing has grown so big."
Shi Ju hadn't spoken yet, but the end of Shi Qing's eyes twitched first.
Look at this almost set, somewhat blind.
"Sir Shen, you have been an official in the same dynasty for the past few months, haven't you seen me?"
Shi Qing was surprised, "My sense of existence is already so low?"
Not to mention that she has rescued Shen Yu twice in private, just being an official of the same dynasty, can you always see it?
Shen Yuan was choked for a moment, her smile remained the same, "Of course I saw it, Shi Ju taught you such an excellent daughter, who can't see her face up and down."
Shiqing raised an "Ai" and retorted: "You are wrong, I am so good, mainly because of my own hard work."
"You use my excellence to praise my mother, which is a bit of a priority, which is equivalent to denying my hard work."
"This time, it's just average, so don't say it next time."
“…”
Shen Yuan's face froze for a moment.
Changsui stepped back, Shen Yuan sighed with a smile, "Shiqing's mouth is really unforgiving. You can say three points without reason."
It seems that no matter how she opens her mouth, Shi Qing has something to say.
So—
She chose to skip Shi Qing and talk directly to Shi Ju.
"It was my fault for what happened back then, but after so many years, I can't even go in for a cup of tea when I come to the door?"
Sir Shen gestured, and several people stood at the door of Shifu.
The mother and daughter of Shi Ju and Shi Qing did not mention the matter of entering the house.
Shen Yuan originally did not enter the house because of the post, she just wanted to put pressure on the Shi family and let Shi Ju take the initiative to invite her in, so that she would be able to talk about the next business.
It's better now, the mother and daughter are blocking the door from left to right, let alone inviting, they are completely in a "don't try to enter my house" posture.
If this spreads out, her face as the Minister of Rites is indeed a bit ugly.
It seems that she took the initiative to come to the door to ask for peace, but Shi Ju didn't buy it, and in the end she couldn't get off the stage.
Shen Yuan was also afraid of embarrassment, if it wasn't for Enke, if it wasn't for Shi Ju being the wife of the sixth princess, she wouldn't be able to take the initiative to come to Shi's house to be embarrassed.
"Is there enough tea in the Shen family?" Shi Ju put one hand behind him, his tone indifferent, "Need to come to Shifu to ask for tea?"
She raised her eyes to look at Shen Yuan, and said, "If Lord Shen really loves drinking Shifu's tea, he won't wait until today to come."
The attitude of mother and daughter is already obvious.
Shen Yuan looked at Shi Ju and smiled slowly, "Shi Ju, your temperament is really suitable for the post of Imperial Censor. If I hadn't pushed you back then, Shifu would have returned It's hard to say whether I can drink hot tea or not."
She had a refined look on her face, and even her voice was gentle, "It's been so many years, if you can't make it through, I can't help it."
Shi Ju's whole body became so cold.
Shen Yuan has been the Minister of Rites for so many years, and the consort of the eldest prince. She can count the number of people who dared to say bad things to her.
She is not like Li Yunqing, let alone Qian Yuqing, who sticks her face out to be beaten.
"You should know why I came to the door today. If you want to discuss, we will go in and talk. If you don't want to talk, I won't stop there."
Shen Yuan lowered her eyes and tidied up her sleeves, "You and I are both decent people, and in front of children, why do you have to do things absolutely?"
Shi Ju clenched her fingers and looked straight at Shen Yuan, "What's the matter? If it wasn't for you back then, why would I almost go to prison? If my husband was not frightened during pregnancy, I would Daughter won't..."
Shi Ju suddenly paused for a moment, then continued, "I thought you had troubles, but you pushed me down. If I hadn't gone the way of a solitary minister, Shifu's hot tea would have been I really can't drink it."
The shirk of responsibility and inaction back then has now become a "help" to Shen Yuan?
More than ten years ago, when he first entered the court, Shi Ju was much more youthful and more difficult than Shi Qing.
At that time, the first emperor was old and seriously ill, and the new emperor had not yet decided, and the court situation was complicated. If it wasn't for Shi Ju's desperate gamble, he might have been burdened by Shen Yuan.
It's just that the new emperor who finally ascended the throne is the current emperor, and Shen Yuan is the wife of the eldest prince. This is how to maintain the superficial harmony and not mention the old things.
"You still can't make it through?" Shen Yuan sighed softly, "I couldn't help myself back then. If you didn't have a relationship with me because of this, you and I are likely to be in-laws now, but how old is it? What happened before the divorce?"
Shi Qing couldn't help raising his head when he heard this, he was such a great master.
Where was the prosperous white lotus unearthed?
"If you want to be so shameless, I have to teach you how to behave."
"My mother doesn't want to say bad things, but you are worth it."
Shijing knew the reason why Shi Ju came to her, and Shen Yuan is so scolded.
Shi Qing looked at her with his arms in his arms, "You couldn't help yourself in what happened back then, what about my mother? She deserves it, she deserves it, who would let her treat you as a friend regardless of human or animal. "
"Isn't it right to have a relationship with you later, what's the benefit of having you as a friend?"
"Do you want you to send her to jail, or do you want her family to be destroyed? Why don't you contact you, don't you have any points in your heart?"
"All faults belong to others, and you are the pure and flawless white lotus in the whole world."
Shen Yuan was scolded a little dumbfounded. She didn't expect that Shi Qing would dare to say something so ugly to her, and she didn't react for a while.
"You!"
As soon as she opened her mouth, the long follower behind her directly stepped forward.
The official sword hangs on his waist, and his right hand is already on the handle of the sword when he speaks, looking at Shi Qing with a heavy gaze, "Sir, please be careful!"
Shi Qing took half a step forward, very close to Chang Sui, and put his right hand on her wrist holding the knife, clenching it slightly, with a provocative tone and open eyebrows.
"I am the fourth rank of court, even if I say it carelessly, what about you?"
Even if it is second, it is still the fourth!
Chang Sui wanted to draw a sword, but he never expected Shi Qing to be so powerful!
Her fingers on her wrist were like pliers, making people unable to move.
Changsui raised his eyes to look at Shi Qing, his eyes narrowed, "You don't respect the concubine, don't blame your subordinates for offending!"
Speaking of which she was about to attack Shi Qingxin with her left hand—
When Shi Ju saw the action of the other party, her heart could not help but tighten, "Qinger."
Shi Qing has no time, she knows.
Before Shi Ju could call someone, he felt a gust of wind passing by.
"She doesn't know how to fight, so she came to me if something happened."
The husband and wife, one holding Chang Sui's right hand, and the other holding Chang Sui's left hand, pinning her down.
"You are disrespectful to me, don't blame my husband for being rude."
Shi Qing pushed Chang Sui, and Yun Zhi let go of it tacitly, Chang Sui took a few steps back and almost fell off the steps.
"You—"
The long follower was about to move forward, but Shen Yuan stopped her with her eyes.
Obviously, Chang Sui is no match for Yun Zhi.
Yun Zhi stood beside Shi Qing with his arms in his arms, a gesture of protection.
Yun Zhi's standing posture Shen Yuan felt very familiar.
She recalled it, and suddenly remembered.
When the leader of the Royal Forest Army beside the emperor stood beside the emperor, it was also the position and position.
Shen Yuan took a deep breath and smiled, "Shi Qing, I don't blame you for disrespecting me like that, after all, the unfinished marriage between you and Yu'er was the truth, and we brought it up first. released."
“…?!”
Yun Zhi's straight posture paused slightly, and reached out to touch Shiqing's lower back.
What happened?
The feelings just started because of depression?
Yun Zhi pursed her thin lips and stared at Shi Qing.
Shi Qing held Yun Zhi's hand with a backhand and looked at Shen Yuan with a sneer, "Master Shen, isn't it too damaging to play this trick with my junior?"
I don't know where the soil is so rich, and green tea like Shen Yuan grows, is it Dongting Lake?
Shi Qing's words do not mean that depression is not good, but he is also unlucky.
"You were not kind in the past, and you know the reason for the divorce this year."
"Now you have the cheek to blame all the faults on my Shi family, because you think your identity as a concubine can cover the sky with one hand, so you can reverse black and white, or you think my Shi family is a gourd with a sawed mouth, Only you have a mouth that can talk?"
Shen Yuan's face sank, her elegant temperament slowly faded, her jaw tightened, and the corners of her mouth pressed down.
It was only then that Shi Qing realized that she was not smiling either, the usual smile was just concave.
"Sir Shen, don't be angry, it's not that I said something ugly today, it's that your Shen family did something too ugly."
"My mother will allow you once, and divorce will allow you twice."
Shi Qing said in a helpless tone, "But you still want to kick your nose and face today, even if you make trouble in front of the emperor, you will be shameless one after another."
Shen Yuan just wanted to do both hard and soft.
One is to save her respect, and the other is to scare Shijia.
She just came around and lost nothing.
She stood at the gate of Shifu for so long today, and those who paid attention have seen it long ago. When the rumors came out, maybe the Shi family and the Shen family reconciled.
If Shen Yuan wants to be the chief examiner of Enke at that time, it can be said that it is recommended by Mrs. Shi.
After years of hostility and discord, I can still recommend it, it only shows that Shen is worth it.
Shi Qing is going to tell Shen Yuan what she deserves today. She deserves this scolding.
"Shi Ju," Shen Yuan's breath was heavy, and the corner of her mouth wanted to make a smile, but Shi Ju's expression was light, and she didn't stop her when she listened to Shi Qing's words the whole time. Now, "Your Shi family is so disrespectful, letting a junior point at me with no respect, do you completely ignore the royal family?"
Shi Qing immediately said: "You are you, the royal family is the royal family, your face still can't represent the royal face."
Do not splash her with dirty water.
Shi Ju said: "Sir Shen has already gained a lot today, so I won't invite you for tea. Although I am no longer the imperial censor, I will tell you today with the example of your concubine Shen. Qunchen, the door of my house is not so easy to enter."
Shen Yuan stared at Shi Ju, breathing heavily.
Today can be considered a loss of face.
Shi Qing said softly to Yun Zhi, "Just wait and see, it's probably time to speak harshly."
"Why are you saying harsh words?" Yun Zhi asked.
Shi Qing smiled, "Of course it's forcibly respectful, it doesn't seem so humiliating to leave."
Shen Yuan, "…"
The two of them didn't talk behind their backs at all, and they discussed it in such a grand manner, which caused Shen Yuan to be full of words, not to speak, and to panic.
Shen Yuan opened her mouth and closed her mouth at last, with Shi Qing's gaze, full of anger, she threw her sleeves and left!
Shen Yuan came over today and was very angry, Shi Ju said to Shi Qing in a low voice: "We have offended the eldest prince and his husband to death."
Shi Qing raised his eyebrows and said calmly, "Oh."
What if you offend and die?
There are so many people she offends, the two couples are not too many.
Shi Qing likes that these people can't stand her and can't cover her mouth.
What's more, Shen Yuan dares to complain in front of the emperor about this matter today?
How do I sue? Could it be that she wanted to tell herself that she wanted to go through the back door to be the chief examiner, but was scolded and shameless?
Shen Yuan will only cover up today's affairs, and dare not let the wind get out, lest she be humiliated and thrown on the street, and she will not be able to keep her elegant appearance in the future.
Shi Qing has nothing to fear.
She is not only a mouth but a brain.
Shi Ju looked sideways at Shi Qing's little expression, "With this mouth, I can live today and never want tomorrow", and smiled.
Shi Qing always has a kind of "as long as I have a mouth today, you can't be happy until tomorrow".
Today is a complete relief, and Shi Ju has put the past in her heart for so many years, and she feels a lot more comfortable.
She looked at Shi Qing and Yun Zhi, "Let's go, I'll treat you two to tea."
She smiled, "Beautiful Biluochun."
