Chapter 204 The heart of spring is rippling
Xie Lingxiao originally didn't want Xie Zihan to covet Shen Jingxuan, so he asked Lingfeng to send him to the Prime Minister's Mansion.
But he didn't expect that Ling Feng actually sent him to Yanyu Tower, which was quite what he wanted.
"You said he was feeling amorous. Shouldn't he just relax?" Ling Feng said confidently.
"Pfft..." Shen Jingxuan couldn't help but laugh out loud.
She didn't expect that Ling Feng, who usually seemed to be cautious and efficient, was acting so foolishly at this moment.
If Xie Zihan knew that he could have escaped the disaster but was misinterpreted by Ling Feng and suffered this ordeal, I wonder if he would vomit blood.
Ling Feng looked at Shen Jingxuan who was laughing with a puzzled look on his face, not understanding what he had done wrong.
Xie Lingxiao looked so disappointed in him that he wished he could go back to the furnace and be recast.
He seemed quite smart in the past, but now he is embarrassed in front of Shen Jingxuan.
"Punish you..." Xie Lingxiao wanted to punish him with Yueyin, but before he could finish his words, he was interrupted by Shen Jingxuan.
"Chun Tao, give Ling Feng ten taels of silver so that he can marry a wife."
Shen Jingxuan curled the corners of her mouth slightly and looked at Ling Feng with a smile.
Xie Lingxiao was a little surprised. He didn't expect that the stupid thing Ling Feng did would catch Shen Jingxuan's attention.
Chuntao reluctantly took out the silver and walked up to Lingfeng and handed it to him.
But he never expected that Ling Feng was so happy about getting a reward from Shen Jingxuan that he held Chuntao's hand in a trance.
"ah... ..."
Chuntao didn't like Lingfeng in the first place, so she turned her head away when handing over the silver and didn't see Lingfeng's actions.
"You scoundrel." Chuntao stepped hard on Lingfeng's foot, causing Lingfeng to groan.
Chuntao turned and came behind Shen Jingxuan, lowered her head with red eyes and said nothing.
This lecher is always up to no good whenever he appears, and he always takes advantage of her.
Ling Feng was stunned as he looked at the hand holding the silver.
The joy just now had long since disappeared, leaving only the softness between the touch of fingers and the accelerated heartbeat.
Ling Feng had no idea that at this moment he was truly feeling amorous.
Xie Lingxiao raised his eyebrows slightly, watching everything quietly as if nothing had happened.
Helplessly, Shen Jingxuan broke the silence: "Let's go back home."
Marriage is predestined by heaven. As for what will happen to them in the future, it depends on themselves.
In such a matter, she would not arrange a matchmaking for the maid even if it was her personal maid.
After Xie Lingxiao stood up and took Shen Jingxuan out of Zuiyue Tower, they got on the carriage.
After the carriage reached the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion, it turned around and headed towards the Regent's Palace.
The next morning, Shen Jingxuan got up early because today was the third day that Shen Xinglin entered the examination room.
Without having time to eat breakfast, Shen Jingxuan arrived at Fufeng Courtyard first.
Madam Shen and Mr. Shen had just finished packing.
Just by looking at the corners of their mouths, you can tell that they are happy that Shen Xinglin has returned home.
"Grandpa and grandma." Shen Jingxuan walked over with a smile.
Old Madam Shen came out to greet him: "You got up so early, have you had breakfast?"
Shen Jingxuan hugged Old Madam Shen and acted coquettishly: "Grandma, Xuan'er didn't eat."
Chuntao from Yuxuan Courtyard prepared breakfast early, but did not put it on the table because Shen Jingxuan wanted to come to Fufeng Courtyard to have dinner with Old Madam Shen.
Old Madam Shen smiled and said, "What a coincidence. Grandma didn't eat today. I'll accompany her to eat more later."
"Okay." Shen Jingxuan responded.
As they were talking, Shen Jingxuan came to the dining room with her grandparents.
She glanced at Mr. Shen, but he ignored her as if he didn't see her.
"Grandfather? What happened to you today?" Shen Jingxuan asked.
It's okay if she doesn't ask.
When he heard her ask, Mr. Shen's face darkened.
"What else can I do?" Mr. Shen picked up the chopsticks and poked the table hard.
Shen Jingxuan frowned slightly: "Grandma, what's wrong with grandpa? Why is he angry?"
Wasn't he fine before coming to the dining room? Although he ignored her, he didn't seem angry.
Why did he get so angry just because of a question?
Madam Shen kicked Mr. Shen hard under the table, but did not answer Shen Jingxuan's words.
"Xuan'er, did you have a quarrel with the Regent?"
Hearing Mrs. Shen's question, Mr. Shen lowered his head to eat, glancing at Shen Jingxuan from time to time.
Having a quarrel?
Shen Jingxuan was puzzled: "Grandma, why do you ask that?"
She had just met Xie Lingxiao yesterday, and nothing had happened between them. How could there be any conflict?
Madam Shen hesitated for a moment and asked, "Why don't you see him?"
After saying that, he kicked Mr. Shen again.
If you want to ask about Shen Jingxuan and Xie Lingxiao, why don’t you ask in person?
He had to beat around the bush and make her ask.
Is it not okay for a grandfather to ask, but it is okay for a grandmother to ask about her granddaughter's private affairs?
Shen Jingxuan looked back and forth between the two of them.
Seeing that Mr. Shen's face changed twice, she guessed that he didn't want to ask and asked grandmother to ask her.
Shen Jingxuan's almond eyes flickered slightly: "We are not married yet. Even though the date has been set, it is not convenient for us to come to your house all the time."
"Why is it inconvenient? Just let him come whenever he wants." Mr. Shen said anxiously.
It had been a long time since Xie Lingxiao's last visit. His chess addiction had long since come back, but there was no sign of Xie Lingxiao.
Mr. Shen really didn't want to wait any longer, so he thought of letting Mrs. Shen take the opportunity to ask.
"You want him to play chess with you." Shen Jingxuan lowered her head and ate.
Without looking at Mr. Shen's expression, she knew that what he said was right.
Even though he had asked his grandmother about it, he answered eagerly, and anyone would have noticed something.
Madam Shen shook her head and laughed: "You are already old, so why bother to just let Xuan'er bring the Regent into the palace?"
"Well, will she listen to me?"
After speaking, Mr. Shen stared at Shen Jingxuan, waiting for her answer.
Shen Jingxuan urged, "Eat quickly, we have to pick up Lin'er later."
"I just want to play chess. Prepare lunch and I'll ask Ling Huan to notify him."
Hearing the correct answer, Mr. Shen was so happy that he even drank an extra bowl of porridge for breakfast.
The sky was clear, and Shen Jingxuan and her group stood outside the examination room waiting quietly.
At this time, the place was already crowded with people, and there was no end in sight.
If they didn't arrive earlier, they wouldn't be able to see Shen Xinglin when he came out.
Half an hour later, the heavy door finally opened slowly.
A group of students taking the exam walked out in an orderly manner.
Behind them, there were even some people with physical and emotional instability who were carried out of the examination room.
I watched the candidates walk out one by one, but Shen Xinglin was nowhere to be seen.
Mr. Shen said anxiously, "Xuan'er, why haven't you seen Lin'er yet?"
I saw that the people who could walk alone in front of me had already gone away.
Only those who could not bear it were carried out one by one, and Mr. Shen became more and more anxious.
"Grandfather, wait a little longer and believe in Lin'er." Shen Jingxuan advised.
She knew why Mr. Shen was so anxious.
They were simply worried that Shen Xinglin wouldn't be able to hold on and would be carried out like the people in front of them.
It's harmless to bring it up, but it also means that they lost this opportunity.
Although there is only one opportunity every three years, it is only for students with a better mentality.
People who have a bad mentality often ruin their career because of failure in an exam.
Mr. Shen and Mrs. Shen looked at the entrance to the examination room and their hearts began to tighten.
I saw fewer and fewer people, and no one came out of the examination room.
