Chapter 326 What you want
The next day, early in the morning.
Shen Shuyi was leaning against the window watching the snow, while also waiting for news from her uncle Zhao Dehai.
The heavy snow is getting closer and closer, and the cold winter is coming soon.
Shen Shuyi estimated the time and found that the temperature dropped suddenly after the autumn hunt.
In order to cater to the Queen Mother's birthday, the so-called autumn hunt actually took place in winter, and not long after that, it was the end of the year.
But this year has been really sad.
"Miss, here is a visiting card sent to you by Prince Song." Jinzhu came in from outside and spoke in a low voice.
After Shen Shuyi took it, he saw only a simple line of words.
[Sincerely invite Miss Shen to come to Furui Building for a chat at 1:00 pm - Respectfully presented by Song Tingshan.]
After staring at the familiar handwriting for a while, Shen Shuyi lowered his eyes and burned the letter to ashes.
It seems that the girl's life ended in this winter.
Song Tingshan invited her over just to test her strength. On the one hand, he wanted her to shut up, and on the other hand, it was an invisible demonstration to announce his victory.
"Miss, are you going?" Jinzhu asked, standing beside Shen Shuyi.
Because they have been learning to write for some time, although the maids still cannot write very well, literacy is no longer a problem for them.
Shen Shuyi said softly: "Go, of course I have to go."
Jinzhu couldn't help but say, "But right now, everyone in the capital is discussing your fate and that of the eldest lady..."
Girls in the boudoir usually don’t reveal their horoscopes.
However, there are constant rumors about Shen Jingyu and her in the capital. One is a destined noble lady, and the other is a woman who brings bad luck to her husband's family. It is inevitable that they will be discussed and compared.
Although Shen Jingchuan had not yet heard these words, the maids were accustomed to going in and out of the market and were best able to hear everyone's gossip.
"If you meet Song Tingshan at this time, I'm afraid it will affect your reputation."
Jinzhu was really afraid that this matter would be used by someone with ulterior motives to make a fuss.
Shen Shuyi lowered his eyes and said calmly: "It doesn't matter, there's nothing wrong with being a little bit worse."
After all, according to her understanding of Shen Jingchuan, although he was moved by her words that day, few people in the officialdom would be merciful. Perhaps after he got over the shock, he would start thinking about her marriage again.
After all, she couldn't pin all her hopes on the little bit of "love" her father had for her.
Facing Jinzhu's worried look, Shen Shuyi couldn't help but comfort her: "It will be better if I wear the veil hat."
Jinzhu's face looked better now.
*
Half an hour later, Shen Shuyi arrived at the second floor of Furui Building.
The area near the window is separated by bamboo curtains on all sides. The bamboo curtains are hung from the roof and are sewn with thin yarn. There are elegant landscapes painted on them. They not only separate this area from the surrounding areas, but also ensure that outsiders can see what is going on inside through the yarn curtains.
In other words, it is the most appropriate place for men and women to meet each other so as to avoid rumors.
Shen Shuyi, wearing a veil hat and a light purple cloak, walked into the room under the hospitality of the waiter.
Xiao Tingshan stood by the window, with one hand behind his back, playing with a pair of white jade walnuts in his hand. As the man's slender fingers gently turned them, crisp and clean sounds were made from time to time.
Shen Shuyi took off his veil and placed it beside the table, and said in a clear voice: "Prince Song invited me to meet him here, so I think there must be something important."
Hearing the voice, Xiao Tingshan turned around, his eyes fell on the girl in front of him, and he looked at her carefully again.
The girl had long black hair tied into a simple bun, and it seemed that she didn't like to spend too much time on this.
She wore a golden hairpin with a pattern of a bird climbing a branch on her head, matched with two red gold calla lilies, and a pair of small oriental pearls hanging from her ears, nothing else.
Her eyes were clear and bright, cold and a little distant, which made her face, which still had a bit of childishness, look more cold and majestic without any anger.
Xiao Tingshan could hardly remember what she looked like when he first saw her in the Jade Buddha Temple.
He tried to recall for a long time, vaguely remembering that she was a weak girl with vulgar words, pale face and thin body, full of hostility and aggression...
He knew very well what it was. It was a sharp thorn that stood up after being worn down by life, and it was also the armor that only those who had never been treated gently would possess.
But obviously, he was wrong.
He never saw through her!
The girl in front of him didn't look like the one in his memory. Xiao Tingshan didn't know whether she had always looked like this or had become like this later.
Xiao Tingshan collected his thoughts, sat down opposite Shen Shuyi, and said softly: "I just want to talk to Miss Shen again to see if there is any possibility of cooperation between us."
For Xiao Tingshan, the best way is to turn the enemy into a friend instead of being hostile.
After all, since Shen Shuyi knew his plan, there was no guarantee that it wouldn't be bad.
Shen Shuyi curled her lips and said, "Prince Song's perseverance really moved me."
"Of course. As long as I can make the young lady change her mind, Song is willing to show his utmost sincerity." Xiao Tingshan said seriously.
His face was pale at the moment, his eyes were gentle and harmless, and he seemed to have endless patience and tenderness, which made it difficult for Shen Shuyi to overlap this face with the man who later turned against her.
But Xiao Tingshan made her understand that there are such people in this world.
When he is in a low position, he can bend his waist, lower his head, kowtow and kneel. He can show endless patience and tenderness and spend countless time on you. But when he is in power, when he tastes the power, the hidden him will reveal his claws and fangs.
That is the real him.
Shen Shuyi smiled and asked, "How does Prince Song want to cooperate?"
Xiao Tingshan did not answer, but said: "That depends on what Miss Shen wants."
Xiao Tingshan thought about it many times, but still couldn't understand what she wanted.
Apart from curing Shen Shuhan's illness, he couldn't understand what else she wanted.
After all, it is difficult for a young girl to know about Liancheng's existence. After all, she would not keep so many experts just to treat her brother's illness.
Shen Shuyi looked at him in a playful way, but did not answer: "I am also curious, if Prince Song's illness is cured, what will he want?"
Song Tingshan smiled gently: "Song has nothing to ask for, I just hope to have less suffering from the burden of a thin body and experience more of the various aspects of life."
Shen Shuyi's expression was filled with sarcasm: "Is this the 120,000 percent sincerity that Prince Song mentioned?"
Song Tingshan remained silent, staring at the girl in front of him, wondering what kind of answer she wanted.
Shen Shuyi smiled and said in a clear voice: "In this case, let's not talk about it. I can only wish that Prince Song can get what he wants."
Meeting that pair of dark eyes, Xiao Tingshan's heart gradually sank.
After a while, Xiao Tingshan lowered his eyes and said softly, "As a man, Song naturally hopes to make achievements and help the country, but I am of low status and my words are not taken seriously, so I am afraid that young lady will laugh at me if I speak out."
His face was extremely pale, and bathed in the sunlight coming in from the window, he looked exceptionally gentle and harmless.
