Chapter 367 is really exciting
Ye Caiping walked out of the teahouse.
But Shen Zhiyan was seen standing under the light snow, with Duanwu holding an umbrella for him behind him.
The ice-blue fox fur cape with cloud pattern made him look even more elegant and noble.
Ye Caiping smiled and said, "Why are you here?"
"I suddenly wanted to see you." His originally cold face showed a little warmth and smile when he saw her: "Your servant said that you are here. There is a bakery inside. What are you doing in there?"
Ye Caiping brushed the broken snow off his shoulders and suddenly said with a smile, "Nothing, let's go!"
Shen Zhiyan stretched out his hand and helped her into the carriage before going up.
upstairs--
It's him!
Lin Yaxian only looked at the figure. Although she only saw a silhouette, she recognized it at a glance. It was Shen Zhiyan!
Her heart was surging.
I wanted to chase after him, but I didn't dare.
The pain in my heart feels like a knife cutting me.
......
Since the plaque was hung up, Ye Caiping and her family have never left the house.
Quietly waiting for Mrs. Shen’s birthday party to arrive.
But just because she doesn't go out doesn't mean she doesn't know what's going on outside.
Now half of the capital is talking about her.
That should have been something that only existed within the aristocratic circle, but somehow, ordinary people were talking about it.
Most of them were laughing: "Have you heard that Mr. Shen is engaged. It's a peasant woman!"
"How could such a noble man fall for a lowly peasant girl?"
"I'm blind and my taste is getting worse."
"In fact, it may not have been Mrs. Lin's fault back then. It is said that her father forced her to go back, saying that she would save Mr. Shen and her daughter after she returned."
"Who knew that after she left, the Shen family went to jail."
"The Shen family would rather give up such a kind and noble woman and choose a crude peasant woman. There is no one else like them."
"Compared to her, Madam Lin is simply a fairy from heaven! This is really throwing away the watermelon to pick up sesame seeds!"
The rumors outside are very unpleasant.
Sister Ye Jin'er was very angry and started to scold Ye Caiping in her room:
"They don't even know me, so why are they cursing me so harshly? What does it have to do with them? And this is too one-sided, all the bad things are said, but nothing good is said at all."
Ye Caiping said: "Maybe it's jealousy!"
If Shen Zhiyan married his famous lady, no matter if she was a noble or ordinary person, no one would say anything.
But he wanted to marry her!
The nobles have always excluded the lower classes.
People in the lower class also look down on those who were originally in the same class as them from being able to move up.
And in their opinion, she was even worse than them. She was forced to take care of two children, and she didn't know what means she had used to seduce a top noble. No one looks down upon such behavior.
Moreover, those who spread rumors are not necessarily ordinary people, but mostly people with ulterior motives. To put it bluntly, someone paid money to hire Internet trolls to discredit her.
Ye Caiping knew with her toes that it was Lin Yaxian who was causing trouble.
To be honest...it's pretty mediocre.
Lin Yaxian wants to force the Shen family to cancel the engagement.
Let the Shen family know that marrying her is a very shameful thing. If you don’t want to be embarrassed, don’t marry her.
If nothing unexpected happened, the Shen family would not make any noise, but would instead be busy preparing for the birthday banquet.
......
Soon, on December 11, it was Mrs. Shen’s birthday.
Duke Ping's Mansion——
Li Jiaojiao and Lady Pingguo of the Duke just returned home this morning.
Now he is walking out with all the masters of the Duke's Mansion, preparing to take a carriage to attend the birthday banquet.
"Mother is too partial! She bought so many jewelry for Li Jiaojiao, spending several thousand taels! She is reluctant to spend one or two hundred taels on me!" The speaker was Liu Xiawei, the second son of the Duke's Mansion.
He stared at Li Jiaojiao's hair full of pearls and jade and felt very angry.
Not only him, all the masters in the Duke's Mansion were dissatisfied with this, but they dared not speak out.
The Duke's wife turned around and glared at him angrily: "If you bought jewelry for Jiaojiao, at least the jewelry is still there. I gave you one or two hundred taels, and it was gone in the blink of an eye!"
The second son, Liu Xiawei, likes gambling.
There is not a single decent man in this family.
The Duke recited poems and composed couplets with his courtesan concubines every day. His eldest son, Liu Shangwei, inherited his true skills and spent his days drinking with his concubines. The second son, Liu Xiawei, was even more of a jerk, he almost slept in the gambling house.
There are two daughters-in-law. The eldest daughter-in-law, Mrs. Qiao, is a clueless person, and the second daughter-in-law has been dead for many years.
Liu Xiawei was unwilling, but dared not say anything.
Li Jiaojiao glanced at him proudly, look how good her mother was to her! Even her own son is not as good as her. She is truly worthy of being her benefactor.
Thinking of this, Li Jiaojiao became more confident about this birthday party.
The master of the temple said that she will have a smooth journey!
Smooth sailing means that whatever Li Jiaojiao asks for will come true!
She was not afraid that the prince of Dingguo Marquis's Mansion would look down on her.
Wasn’t Gu Han also a prince before, and he still loved her to death.
The Duke's wife also liked her at first sight and wanted to adopt her as her adopted daughter.
What good things will happen at this birthday party? Really exciting!
......
Soon, the group from the Duke Ping's Mansion arrived at the Marquis Ding's Mansion.
Li Jiaojiao and others got off the carriage and followed the maid into the gate.
But as soon as he entered the second door, he heard exclamations from inside: "Oh my God, this is all glass! Even the cups!"
Glass? What is glass? Li Jiaojiao and the Duke's wife looked at each other. Why was it so lively in there?
Several people continued to walk inside, and when they entered the second door, they were stunned.
I saw that the doors and windows of every house were all made of colored glaze.
Even the yard lights are made of colored glaze.
These colored glasses are not ordinary colored glasses, but they are more transparent and brighter, and they look priceless at first glance!
"Oh my god!" Liu Xiawei's eyes almost popped out, "This, this, this... I've never seen such transparent glass!"
"Just one yard lamp is worth a fortune!"
The Duke's wife gasped, she knew that the Marquis Dingguo's Mansion was rich! I never thought he was so rich!
Li Jiaojiao was so excited that she almost floated up.
In fact, she had always felt that the Marquis's Mansion was one level lower than the Duke's Mansion, and she always felt that marrying down was not enough.
Now seeing this room full of colored glaze, I feel that marrying here is not a loss for me!
The maid leading the way asked, "Dear guests, would you like to stay here and enjoy the scenery, or would you like to pay your respects to the old lady first?"
The Duke's wife smiled and said, "Of course I'll go see the old lady first."
Afterwards, he took Li Jiaojiao and left with his daughter-in-law and two little granddaughters.
The men looked at these glass products everywhere.
Chang'an Hall——
Li Jiaojiao and the Duke's wife walked in.
I saw a kind but noble old lady sitting on the couch, chatting and laughing with someone.
The room was full of people. Because of the presence of Liuli in the room, everyone forgot about Ye Caiping and kept asking about Liuli.
The wife of the Duke came forward with Li Jiaojiao and others to wish him a happy birthday.
Madam Shen glanced at them and said with a smile, "Thank you for your kindness. Please take a seat."
After saying that, he turned around and continued chatting with the lady beside him.
Li Jiaojiao sat in the crowd, pouted her lips, and felt annoyed.
I thought that when I came out, Old Madam Shen would take a liking to me at first sight, hold my hand and say, how could there be such a beautiful girl...
But in the end, no one even looked at her.
