Chapter 92: I Won’t Let Her Have Her Wish
Someone in the crowd recognized Jiang Lianzhi and recalled the rumors in Beijing.
It is said that this minister had come to ask for marriage. Isn't this a good time for a hero to save a beautiful girl? So they made way for him.
The upstairs location was good, and Shen Yu had a panoramic view of the scene on the street.
It was a coincidence. Although this herbal medicine shop was not the largest in Shengjing, it was the only way for Jiang Lianzhi to return to the mansion.
The place was chosen by chance, and the time of fainting was also so coincidental, which made Shen Yu doubt Shen Yan's motives.
This stupid sister regarded the Jiang family as a life-saving straw in her previous life, and ran to the Jiang Mansion every day. It seems that she is still the same in this life, and has not made much progress.
But Shen Yu was not completely sure. What if there is such a coincidence in this world?
She reached out and grabbed a few peanuts from the small plate on the table and threw one into her mouth.
Jiang Lianzhi had squatted downstairs beside Shen Yan. Men and women should not touch each other, so he did not touch her, but just watched from the side.
The maid cried out of breath, "Sir, what can we do? Madam is ill and can't get up. Now the young lady is left alone."
The crowd of onlookers whispered to each other, sighing.
Jiang Lianzhi pondered and said, "Send her back to Shen's house first. Gao Jin, send someone to ask the doctor to go directly to Shen's house."
"Help your young lady up." Jiang Lianzhi said to the maid.
The maid tried to lift her up, but failed. She cried and blamed herself, "I am useless. I should have advised the young lady not to go to the general's tomb every day."
Jiang Lianzhi asked, "Why go to General Shen's tomb?"
The maid said, "Before, people often went to mourn, so the young lady didn't often go to the general's tomb. But now there are fewer people going there, and how many people still remember it? The young lady said she was afraid they would be lonely, so she went to talk to them every day."
The maid said with tears in her eyes, which was very touching.
Some people with shallow eye sockets in the crowd were already wiping tears.
The maid added, "The young lady said that the eldest lady loves the hustle and bustle."
Jiang Lianzhi was drawn out of his thoughts by the words that the eldest lady loves the hustle and bustle.
I remember that in the last life, when Shen Yu first entered the Jiang Mansion, she was more lively and occasionally played with the servants. Later, his mother scolded her all day long, and gradually she became quiet. He thought she liked quietness, but now thinking back, she originally loved the hustle and bustle.
The more Jiang Lianzhi thought about it, the more distressed he felt, and his throat rolled violently.
He didn't believe that she died like this, but where was she?
Shen Yu did love the hustle and bustle, and was lying on the windowsill watching at this moment.
If Shen Yan hadn't brought her up, she would have sighed that Shen Yan used this trick well.
Not only did she wash away the previous infamy in public, gain a good reputation, but she could also win Jiang Lianzhi's favor, killing two birds with one stone.
It seems that Shen Yan tried her best to squeeze into the Jiang Mansion, but she didn't know that the Jiang Mansion was not a good place to stay. Not to mention that there was a vicious mother-in-law, there was also Lin Qingli, who was Jiang Lianzhi's childhood sweetheart.
The person was still lying on the ground. Jiang Lianzhi thought for a moment and ordered Gao Jin: "Send Miss Shen to the carriage."
Gao Jin responded, rolled up his sleeves and was about to hug Shen Yan.
The maid hurriedly stopped him, "Sir, this is not good. After all, he is a servant and a man."
There was no great defense between men and women in the Great Zhou Dynasty. Women did not need to cover their faces when walking on the street, and they could eat at the same table. However, it was still inappropriate to let a servant approach and hug in public.
Shen Yu smiled. It was not appropriate for a servant to hug her, so could it be okay for Jiang Lianzhi to hug her? This girl had a good idea. She hugged her in public and blackmailed Jiang Lianzhi.
Shen Yu tossed the peanuts in her hand, wondering whether she should let them become a couple.
But Shen Yan still dared to use her as a raft, I think her memory has not grown long enough.
There is a saying that goes, if I know you are happy, then I will be unhappy, she will not let Shen Yan get what she wants.
Shen Yu threw another peanut into her mouth and kept one in her hand.
Without hesitation, she flicked her finger and a peanut shot out, hitting Shen Yan's waist and abdomen.
Shen Yan groaned in pain and bounced up.
The crowd exploded immediately.
"Hey, wake up."
"It's good to wake up."
Shen Yan endured the pain, not knowing whether Jiang Lianzhi noticed it. Her eyes touched Jiang Lianzhi and left, not daring to look at him.
Jiang Lianzhi stood up, "Since the second Miss Shen has woken up, please go back to the mansion by yourself."
The maid helped Shen Yan up, and Shen Yan covered her sleeves and coughed twice, "I don't know what happened just now, I felt dizzy all of a sudden."
The maid hurriedly covered for her, "The young lady has lost her appetite these days, and she looks thinner. She didn't eat in the morning, it would be strange if she didn't faint. In the future, the young lady must eat well."
"I know." Shen Yan said softly, and bowed to Jiang Lianzhi, "Thank you for your help."
Jiang Lianzhi said lightly: "Since the second Miss Shen is not feeling well, she should go back to the mansion as soon as possible."
He looked at the inconspicuous peanut on the ground, and then looked up at the teahouse diagonally opposite. The window on the second floor facing the street was half open.
Jiang Lianzhi walked towards the teahouse, followed by Gao Jin, and went straight upstairs.
The waiter hurriedly followed, "What kind of tea would you like to drink, sir? We have a private room."
Jiang Lianzhi turned a deaf ear to him, walked through the corridor, calculated the position and stopped in front of a door, pointing at the door.
"I want this room."
The waiter said: "Unfortunately, this room has already been occupied. Why don't you choose another one?"
"I want this one." Jiang Lianzhi raised his hand and pushed open the door.
The waiter had no time to stop him, so he had to shrink by the door.
Jiang Lianzhi glanced around and saw that this was not a good teahouse in Shengjing. The decoration in the private room was simple and obvious, and there was only one man standing in front of the window.
The man standing in front of the window turned around, still holding a cup of tea in his hand, and said in an unhappy tone, "What are you doing? Didn't you see your little marquis drinking tea here?"
The waiter apologized repeatedly: "Sorry, sorry, I'll take this guest out right now."
"No need." Pei Chunli raised his hand to stop him, glanced at Jiang Lianzhi and said, "This is our famous minister, Mr. Jiang, would you like to stay for a cup of tea?"
Jiang Lian smiled and said, "It turns out to be the young Marquis. Why is the young Marquis interested in drinking tea here alone?"
Pei Chunli said nonchalantly: "I wasn't planning to drink tea, but I saw someone fainting on the street, so I came up alone to watch the excitement. Mr. Jiang's heroic rescue of the beauty really makes me envious."
Jiang Lianzhi narrowed his eyes and said, "Then I won't disturb the little Marquis to watch the fun. Jiang will take his leave."
The waiter closed the door and followed Jiang Lian downstairs.
When he reached the stairs, Jiang Lianzhi suddenly stopped and asked, "He was the only one in that private room just now?"
The waiter replied, "Sir, the young Marquis is the only one. When he came, he hurriedly said that he wanted to find the best seat, so the young man took him to that room."
Jiang Lianzhi nodded briefly and left.
"Sir, do you suspect it is Mr. Pei Xiaohou?" Gao Jin asked.
Jiang Lianzhi said: "If he is the only one in that room, it must be him."
Gao Jin was puzzled, "But there are no peanuts in that room."
Jiang Lianzhi turned his head and said, "Look back at the store."
Gao Jin looked back and saw that this was the first floor of the teahouse. The lobby was full of tables, and every table with guests had a plate of peanuts on it.
Gao Jin immediately understood that many teahouses would serve such free snacks, and it would seem deliberate if they didn't.
"No matter who it is, it means that person has no ill intentions towards us, and is even a kind reminder." Jiang Linzhi looked up again.
"But if Pei Chunli is the only one, it means that he usually hides too deeply."
