MTL - Vicious Male Partner is a Girl-Chapter 41 sweetheart (catcher)
In the past, Shen Fengzhang, who was extremely stupid and would only follow behind the sons of aristocratic families to flatter and fawn on him, was now highly valued and high-spirited.
And him? Shen Jun grasped the jade around his waist, looking at Shen Fengzhang who was welcomed into the mansion, his heart seemed to be burning with fire, and it was so painful. The first step into an official career is so unsatisfactory.
Dormant, dormant!
When he didn't see Shen Fengzhang, he was still able to suppress his anger and re-plan the route for himself, but when he saw Shen Fengzhang, he felt anxious. Even though he has confidence in himself, he still can't help but feel anxious and irritable when he sees that people who were once inferior to him are now leaving him far behind.
Standing at the gate of the county mansion, Shen Juan tried his best to suppress the rising anxiety in his heart. However, when he noticed that when Shen Fengzhang entered the mansion, he didn't even cast a glance at himself who was standing aside, he added a bit of unspeakable meaning to his anxiety.
Not long ago, Shen Fengzhang used to ridicule and insult herself to cover up the strange feelings she had towards herself. Seeing herself now, she could not look sideways, her face was flat and unmoved, as if she no longer had any feelings for herself.
He doesn't care if Shen Fengzhang likes him or not, but Shen Jun cares that she doesn't like him at this moment. Why doesn't she like herself anymore, because she is on the rise, but he is still just a small favor?
He clenched his fist hard, his knuckles turned white, how could she not like herself at this moment?
There were waves in Shen Juan's gray eyes, like a mountain rain was about to come. If he and Shen Fengzhang's identities were switched, he would be in the top place now, and Shen Fengzhang would be cornered, like a bug lying at his feet, he would not care about Shen Fengzhang's emotional changes at all.
Shen Juan's eyes were lightly closed. In the final analysis, everything was caused by unwillingness.
"Lang Jun?" Li Miao raised his head and stared at the back of the little lang, while the expressionless big lang showed a little puzzled expression on his face. Isn't it a good thing that Mr. Xiao Lang didn't come to bully Mr. Da Lang? Why does Mr. Dalang look a little...unhappy?
Sensing Shen Jun's loss of composure, his expression remained unchanged and he was not flustered. He turned his head and smiled slightly at Li Miao, and said in a warm voice, "Father, I know that Erlang has such a good fortune. I'm sure he will be very pleased." Shen Juan is elegant and warm There was a slight pause in his voice, with a bit of regret, "It's a pity, but I..."
Shen Juan didn't say any more about the latter words. He restrained the depression that he had inadvertently revealed, and smiled again, without any gloom, "Let's go. It's been so long, it's rare for Erlang to come back, tonight must be a family feast."
Li Miao suddenly realized when he heard the words, and he said how could Mr. Lang feel unhappy because Mr. Xiao Lang ignored him. It turned out that Mr. Lang was disappointed that he was not as good as Mr. Mr. Xiao. That's right, if you ask him to say, Mr. Xiao Lang is just following a crooked way and stepping on dog **** luck. In terms of true talents and learning, he can't compare with Mr. Da Lang! If he were Da Langjun, he would have been **** off by the current situation, how could he be happy for Xiao Langjun.
Afraid of making Da Lang-jun sad, Li Miao hastily followed Da Lang-jun's words and mentioned the family banquet, "Your Majesty is right, there must be a family banquet in the mansion tonight."
Shen Juan's prediction was correct, tonight was indeed a family feast.
The east and west mansions, the long house and the second house, gathered together.
A month ago, although Shen Fengzhang was the master of the mansion, the person who sat at the head was always the oldest Mrs. Shen. However, this time, when Shen Juan took his seat, he found that his grandmother was sitting first on the right. The seats on the entire table were moved back one, and the top seat was vacated.
Not long after Shen Juan sat down, the originally white sky was gradually infiltrated by ink, and finally swallowed up the last ray of light, and the world fell into darkness. The night breeze blows away the sweltering heat of summer and brings a sense of coolness.
Outside the main house, there is a bright light from far to near, showing a bit of tranquility and softness in the dark night where the shadows of trees float. Two servants, one on the left and one on the right, each carried a lantern, and the young man dressed in white walked slowly behind the servants.
When he walked to the front of the main hall, the octagonal wooden lamp hanging under the main hall cast a gentle light, and two points of light were reflected in the almost pure black eyes of the other party. While walking, the seemingly simple white clothes on the other party's body also showed silver streaks that seemed to flow in the light.
Elegant, handsome, and free from vulgarity.
Anyone who saw Shen Fengzhang stepping into the main hall with a cold and unsmiling expression would have such thoughts.
"Azhang is here, please take your seat." In the main hall, when Mrs. Shen saw Shen Fengzhang walking slowly, she smiled slightly on her always serious face, softening the cruel law lines on her face.
"Grandmother, your grandson is young, you should sit at the top." Shen Fengzhang stopped a few steps away from the mahogany table, and smiled slightly at Mrs. Shen.
The smile on that handsome face instantly dilutes the sense of coldness and distance lingering around Shen Fengzhang.
Mrs. Shen Er of the second room breathed a sigh of relief, with a warm smile on her face, she persuaded Shen Fengzhang: "Erlang, you are no longer a child, but the real head of the family. Of course you have to sit up." gone."
Old Mrs. Shen glanced out of the corner of her eye, and glanced at Second Mrs. Shen as well. Although she didn't like Shen Zhen, a concubine, she had to admit that Shen Zhen, a wife, married much better than Jing You. She glanced at Mrs. Yu, who seemed to have never heard of it, sighed slightly in her heart, and looked at Shen Fengzhang, "Yes, Zhang, just sit down."
Seeing this, Shen Fengzhang could only take his seat at the top.
When Mrs. Shen and Shen Fengzhang were giving up their seats, Shen Xiangyao, who was sitting next to Mrs. Shen Er, looked at Shen Fengzhang, who was sitting at the top, who was quite imposing, and then glanced at her younger brother Shen Fengyu, who was sitting on the left with a childish face. He pinched it hard into his palm.
Shen Xiangpei, who was sitting beside Yu, couldn't help but look at Shen Fengzhang. I haven't seen him for a month, but the second brother looks much thinner, and seems to have grown a little taller, and the whole person is getting taller and thinner. When she was led close by the attendants carrying the lantern just now, she really had the aura of being an immortal, unworldly and otherworldly.
Shen Xiangpei subconsciously tugged on her sleeves to hide the envy in her heart.
There is no rule of keeping silent at the Shen family's family banquet. When the old Duke was alive, he liked to chat at the dining table and check the homework of the juniors.
Today's family banquet under the banner of cleaning up the dust for Shen Fengzhang seemed lively and lively, but in fact, apart from Shen Fengzhang who didn't care much about other people, Mrs. Shen who was only happy for her grandson, and who didn't want to get involved in the messy things , Mrs. Yu, who only wants to live a peaceful life, everyone else at the dinner table has their own thoughts.
Looking at Shen Fengzhang who made Mrs. Shen smile all over his face, Shen Xiangpei felt a little bit of difficulty in his heart. In the past, grandma loved her the most. In the past, everyone's eyes were on her at family banquets like this, but now...
"Erniang, what's the matter?" Noticing that Shen Xiangpei was looking at the front without moving for a long time, Yu's eyebrows were slightly frowned, and she asked softly with concern.
"It's nothing." Shen Xiangpei shook his head slightly and looked away. However, the chatter and laughter of old Mrs. Shen, Shen Fengzhang and the others always lingered in her ears.
Suppressing and suppressing the unwillingness in her heart, enduring and enduring, Shen Xiangpei still couldn't hold back.
"Second brother!"
Sitting at the top, Shen Fengzhang was telling Mrs. Shen what she had encountered during her January outing. When she heard Shen Xiangpei's shout, she turned her head to look at Shen Xiangpei, with a smile that hadn't dissipated on her face.
"What does Er Niang want to say?"
Mrs. Shen also turned her head to look at Shen Xiangpei, because of laughing, fine lines appeared at the end of her eyes. The grandson became so promising, she was in a great mood, "Does Er Niang also want to hear about Ah Zhang's affairs this month?"
Shen Xiangpei put down his jade, and looked serious, "Second brother, more than a month has passed, and Aunt Zheng's illness should have recovered. Since it is a family banquet tonight, Auntie, as the biological mother of the second brother, should be present. If My aunt must be very happy to know that the second brother has achieved such an achievement." She really couldn't understand that the second brother locked his biological mother in the courtyard, but she was heartless, unfilial at all, and didn't care.
The lingering smile on Shen Fengzhang's face disappeared without leaving any trace, as if seeing dewdrops from the sun.
Old Mrs. Shen's eyes staring at Shen Xiangpei also faded to be a little more serious. She really never expected that on such a happy day, Er Niang, who had always done things properly, would suddenly mention Mrs. Zheng.
Mrs. Shen and Shen Xiangyao in the second room had similar smiles on their faces, kept silent, and looked like they were enjoying the show. She was silent for a long while, but Yu Shi, who was eating seriously, put down her clothes at this moment, and smiled calmly at Shen Fengzhang and Mrs. Shen, "My family, Mrs. Zheng loved Erniang very much in the past. The family knows Erniang's temperament, she has always been affectionate." Nostalgia. Everyone gathered together tonight, it was lively, Erniang couldn't help but speak when she thought of Mrs. Zheng who was alone in the courtyard."
Shen Xiangpei didn't expect that her words would cause Mrs. Shen's complexion to change drastically, but after Auntie made an excuse for her to explain, the sudden nervousness in her heart gradually eased a little.
"Second brother, that's exactly what I mean. It's too pitiful for my aunt to be single." She lifted her chin slightly, and said to Shen Fengzhang with a bit of nobility.
Even if he was not in Jiankang City, Shen Fengzhang could still learn about the situation of the Shen family from Liu Wenchang. She glanced at Shen Xiangpei, who was still arguing with her about the Zheng family, and lightly glanced at Shen Xiangyao, who was watching the show from the end of her eyes, and there was a smile that seemed to be a smile in her eyes like ink pills.
"Erniang, instead of caring about Mrs. Zheng when you have time, it's better to care about yourself."
"Second brother, what do you mean?!" Shen Xiangpei frowned, furious. The second brother actually threatened Aunt Zheng just because she mentioned Aunt Zheng? !
Shen Fengzhang raised his hand slightly, and the attendant standing by the side immediately poured wine for her. Shen Fengzhang flicked the wine glass, and the amber liquid sparkled under the lamp, which was too beautiful to behold.
She raised her eyes, her dark eyes were like blades, and her red lips showed sharp arcs, "Er Niang, you are not young anymore, you have time to worry about trivial matters, how about—" Shen Fengzhang paused slightly, softening Voice, "Worried about your marriage."
Don't wait for the original husband to be pried away before you realize that you are in a hurry to regret it.
Locked by the chilly aura that Shen Fengzhang had experienced in this month, Shen Xiangpei, who was proud and proud, suddenly felt tight in his chest and couldn't breathe. The corners of her eyes twitched slightly, her lips quivered twice, cold sweat unknowingly dripped down her back, and she couldn't hold on to that cold and haughty forehead anymore! He leaned back subconsciously, as if he wanted to avoid Shen Fengzhang's gaze, but he almost fell off the stool to the ground unexpectedly.
Stabilizing her body, Shen Xiangpei's face turned pale.
Second brother, how did second brother become like this... She gritted her teeth and refused to say the last two words, as if she was no worse than second brother.
There is also marriage, why should the second brother worry about her marriage!
In the following family banquet, Shen Xiangpei didn't taste anything at all. She was in a trance and didn't even know what she ate.
It wasn't until he returned to his yard, sat in front of the dressing table, and saw himself in the mirror, that Shen Xiangpei finally came back to his senses.
"Songshuang!" Shen Xiangpei's voice showed nervousness.
Songshuang, who was packing Shen Xiangpei's clothes, hurried over, "What's wrong, lady?"
Shen Xiangpei stood up, looked left and right at the bronze mirror a few times, Liu Mei frowned, and suddenly turned to look at Songshuang, "Am I getting fat?"
She didn't notice it usually, but now she thought of the second brother she saw at night, and suddenly realized that she looked stronger than the second brother! How can this work? ! Could it be that the second brother made her worry about her marriage because he saw that she had gained weight? !
Songshuang took care of all of Shen Xiangpei's clothes, so of course she knew that the lady hadn't gained weight. Her waist is as slender as ever, only her chest and hips have increased in size. Her mother said that when a woman reaches her age, her chest will swell up, and she looks fatter, but she is not.
But even if Songshuang said so, Shen Xiangpei didn't believe it. Nowadays, people in the world appreciate elegant, thin, and elegant beauties with a demeanor. She can become Jiankang Shuangshu not only because of her talent, but also because of her cool and elegant appearance.
However, no matter how cold and elegant the face is, once the body is strong, how can it be elegant!
Shen Xiangpei looked at herself with a bulging chest in the mirror, took a deep breath, and ordered with firm will: "I will continue to order, and every meal will be reduced by half from now on, and the bird's nest porridge every night will also be cancelled."
There is more than half a month before her birthday banquet, and Wang Twelve Lang will also come at that time. She needs to get ready from now on!
…
Unlike Shen Xiangpei, Shen Jun was not affected by the family banquet. What he couldn't get rid of was the scene where he and Shen Fengzhang bumped into each other when they returned home before the family banquet.
Shen Fengzhang's indifference and ignorance of him, like a red-hot iron, pressed deep marks on his heart. When he thought of it, he felt a faint burning pain.
Shen Jun never imagined that Shen Fengzhang had humiliated himself so many times, even the most harsh and ruthless words had no effect. This time, her unintentional actions frustrated his dignity.
This unpleasant, unspeakable emotion spread until he came out of Yutang Office in the evening.
The golden crow falls to the west, and the red fire clouds are mixed with gorgeous purple, covering the western sky.
Although Shen Juan was only given a false job, relying on his own ability, he still found a job in the Yutang Department to study books with other people. He even won the task of editing a collection of poems alone.
His original plan was to study books first, and then climb up step by step after success and achievement.
"Ah Jun!" Zhang Silang walked over quickly from not far away, and stood in front of Shen Jun. The afterglow of the setting sun hit his face, revealing half of the shadow, which was dim and unclear.
Shen Juan asked softly, "What's the matter? You seem to be in a bad mood?"
Zhang Silang raised his eyes to look at Shen Jun, heaved a long sigh, hesitated to speak, his brows and eyes were full of sympathy and pity.
In the end, he couldn't help but angrily said: "Ah Jun, do you know what happened?"
Shen Jun recalled Zhang Silang's eyes just now, and guessed, "Could it be related to me?"
Zhang Silang's face became more angry, his eyes were red with anger, and the flesh on his cheeks twitched continuously due to anger. He looked at Shen Juan, his voice was angry and heavy, "Ah Jun, your son-in-law is gone!"
Without waiting for Shen Jun to ask, he continued angrily, "Ah Jun, do you know what happened? It's all due to your little brother Shen Fengzhang who loves and takes care of you wholeheartedly!"
"My elder brother works as a bodyguard in front of the imperial court. I heard from my elder brother that the Supreme Being wants to give you a marriage with Princess Linru! If you marry Princess Linru, according to your temperament, you will be married to Princess Linru in the future." You're a beautiful couple. They're both Shen Fengzhang's corrupt guy! She speaks ill of you in front of the Supreme Being.
If not, why would you lose a son-in-law, Ah Jun? "
Surprised expression appeared on Shen Juan's face, but the emotion in his eyes was calm and blissful, as if he never cared about marrying the princess as his son-in-law.
In fact, Shen Fengzhang's behavior helped him again by mistake!
He smiled lightly, "What's going on?"
Zhang Silang withdrew his gaze from Shen Jun's face and sighed, "Oh, Ah Jun, you have a noble character, you are neither happy for things nor sad for yourself, I am ashamed of myself." If the duck is let go, it will definitely fly into a rage.
He sneered, and answered Shen Jun's question just now, "Shen Fengzhang is a despicable villain!" He turned to Shen Jun and said angrily, "Ah Jun, do you know why Shen Fengzhang stopped you from marrying the princess?" Without waiting for Shen Jun to answer , He continued on his own: "Because Shen Fengzhang is jealous and has a bad heart! Ah Jun, do you know? Shen Fengzhang admitted in front of the current Supreme Being that she has a sweetheart, and she can't ask for this sweetheart. She has no ability to marry Sweetheart, come to stop Ah Jun from marrying the princess, what a shameless person!"
Hearing Zhang Silang's words, Shen Jun did not show any anger, on the contrary, he sighed softly, smiled gently at Zhang Silang, and advised him not to be so angry. In fact, hearing Zhang Silang's words and Shen Fengzhang's behavior, he was not only not angry, but felt strangely satisfied.
It turned out that Shen Fengzhang did not dislike him.
Shen Juan's brows and eyes were stretched, and his pale gray eyes were as clear as washing, and it was rare that there was no trace of haze.
The sweetheart she couldn't ask for, who else could there be besides him?
She must have broken up her own marriage out of jealousy and did not want him to marry.
Unexpectedly, Shen Fengzhang's ability to pretend became more and more powerful, and he almost misunderstood him.
Shen Juan smiled lightly, and was in an excellent mood. From last night to today, the anxiety and irritability that had weighed on his heart was easily removed.
Such a good mood lasted until Shen Fengzhang was promoted to Ting Wei.
When Shen Juan heard the news, he crushed the teacup he was holding in his hand, and his brows and eyes were gloomy.
How long has she been in the official position, and she has been promoted to the position of Tingwei so quickly, but he is still spinning around in the seat invited by the court!
The first thing Shen Fengzhang did after he was promoted to Ting Wei was to investigate Fang's internal history.
When Shen Fengzhang took advantage of the twilight and led people into Fang Nei Shi's mansion, Fang Nei Shi was so angry that his fingers trembled and his voice trembled, "You, you are avenging your own private revenge!"
