Chapter 546: Getting Ahead
Because he didn't want to go back to his previous hard life, He Qiming's attitude became increasingly cold.
No matter how many grievances she encountered, Shen Shu endured them silently.
But what happened today almost made her unable to bear it.
As the seasons changed, each courtyard was allocated materials for making clothes.
The material that Shen Shu was allocated in the hospital was not only of poor quality, but also had a shoe print on it.
It's obvious that someone has just stepped on it not long ago.
Shen Shu's maid was so angry that she ran to find the person in charge of distributing things to make trouble.
Unexpectedly, before she could say a few words, the nanny beside Lady Yong'an came.
The nanny was an old lady serving the wife of the Earl of Yong'an. Relying on her seniority, she scolded Shen Shu's maid.
He was indirectly scolding Chen Shu as well.
It is said that slaves are just like concubines and should be honest and do their duty, but they always dream of things that do not belong to them.
Don't compare yourself with others or compete with others for everything.
When Shen Shu saw the maid coming back crying, she asked and realized that her people had been bullied like this.
She wanted He Qiming to help her, but He Qiming was nowhere to be seen.
I couldn't make a fuss, and I wanted to suppress my anger, but I couldn't.
Fortunately, maybe because Lady Yong'an had told them not to worry about Shen Shu, no one stopped them from going out.
Seeing that the weather was just right today, Shen Shu decided to take her maid out for a walk and buy some fabric to make clothes.
Buy some rouge and powder.
If you see jewelry at the right price, you can buy one or two pieces.
He Qiming's attitude towards Shen Shu is now much colder than at the beginning, not to mention that he is often not at home.
Sometimes, even when he was at home, he would avoid Shen Shu.
Shen Shu was puzzled, they were clearly in love with each other. Every time they separated, He Qiming was always reluctant to leave.
Now that they can finally be together, He Qiming seems like a different person.
Is this what is meant by “Once a man gets something, he won’t cherish it” in the play?
Shen Shu didn't know why He Qiming changed so quickly, but she understood one thing -
If she wants to live a good life in the Yong'an Marquis's Mansion in the future, she must once again firmly grasp He Qiming's heart in her hands.
After thinking it through, Shen Shu decided to dress up nicely.
When she went out today, Chen Shu hardened her heart and took all her personal money with her.
Since she was able to make He Qiming so obsessed with her in the past, she can definitely do it now.
Shen Shu calmed herself down and walked into the silver building with her maid.
If He Qiming could be made to change his mind, the money spent today would be returned a hundredfold in the future.
As soon as they entered the store, they heard a lady in front of them say to the waiter, "Put out the latest masterpieces of your master's shop, and the most expensive ones."
When the waiter heard this, he knew that this man must be rich.
"We have indeed released a lot of new works in our store recently. Please move to the second floor, and we will bring them out for you to taste in a moment."
The shopkeeper also came over with a flattering smile and made a gesture to invite people upstairs.
"Sir, please come this way. I will introduce you personally."
Chen Shu looked at the shopkeeper's waist that was about to bend to the ground and snorted coldly in her heart.
Flattery.
It depends on who you are.
The more Shen Shu thought about it, the angrier she became. The shopkeeper had not even thought of coming to entertain her, but now he had already led the lady to the second floor.
What’s the use of making more money? You will still be regarded as a businessman despised by the world.
Thinking of this, Shen Shu couldn't help but straighten her waist.
She was the concubine of the eldest son of the Earl of Yong'an. Even if she was not as noble as the noble lady just now, she was much more noble than the shopkeeper and the waiter here.
Shen Shu made up her mind to win back He Qiming's heart no matter what.
She has really had enough of this kind of miserable life!!
Shen Shu came to the display shelf and was quickly attracted by a necklace.
The necklace was exquisitely crafted and inlaid with blue gems.
Sunlight poured in from the carved windows, shining on the necklace.
Under the sunlight, every gem on the necklace sparkles and shines brightly.
This necklace is obviously worth a lot of money, but it is casually placed on the shelf of the display cabinet on the first floor.
Shen Shu couldn't imagine what kind of treasures the noble lady would see when she went to the second floor.
She clenched her fists; her desire to stand out had never been so strong.
Only by returning to her old life with He Qiming could she receive the same treatment as that noble lady.
Shen Shu turned around to look at other jewelry, and suddenly heard a voice from the side -
"The food street was very busy yesterday, many people went there to participate in the Spring Festival activities."
"I know, I know. I went there too. No wonder it's called Spring Festival. The food there is really different all the way there. They are all seasonal delicacies and drinks."
"That's right. No wonder they say you can't leave the food court once you go there. Every time I go there, I want to live there."
"It should be very busy today. Many people went today because they didn't get an appointment yesterday."
"Luckily, as soon as I heard that the food court was going to launch a new event, I immediately made a reservation, otherwise I would have missed the first one."
Chen Shu lowered her head and looked at the jewelry carefully, but she was actually eavesdropping on the conversation between the people next to her.
She also knew about the event launched by the food street, and knew that this event had a nice name called "Eating Spring".
Chen Shu had been to the food street once, and it was He Qiming who took her there.
But after entering the Bo Mansion, she never went there again.
This time, there was finally an event, and Shen Shu had wanted to attend it with He Qiming.
Maybe it could remind He Qiming of the little things when they were in love and restore their relationship.
But no matter how hard he looked, He Qiming just couldn't find anyone.
Without He Qiming's company, Shen Shu didn't want to go to the food street alone.
Besides the fact that it's boring to go alone, there is another more important reason.
Although the food in the food court is much cheaper than that in Yipintang.
But those who can go there to stroll around and eat are basically people who are not short of money.
Chen Shu has been short of money lately, and she has to win back He Qiming's heart, so any money she has has to be spent wisely.
Of course, I heard that whenever there are activities and food in the food court that require reservations, they are sold out as soon as the news is released.
Even if Shen Shu wanted to go, there was a high possibility that she wouldn't be able to make an appointment.
Originally, Shen Shu had let it go, but after listening to these people's discussions today, she suddenly regretted it.
If she had known earlier, she would have made an appointment. Even if He Qiming didn’t go, she could still go to the food street by herself.
As for the price, just buy it based on the price of the food.
With so many foods and drinks, there must be some prices that she can accept.
Just when Shen Shu was thinking about whether to go and see if there were any reservations available, the people around her changed the topic again -
“When I went to the food court, I also met General Yan.”
"What General Yan? He is a great general."
"I'm not wrong. I certainly know General Yan. But I wasn't talking about him just now. I was talking about his granddaughter, General Yan."
Shen Shu couldn't help but pause as she was about to take a step forward. General Yan's granddaughter? ?
Isn't that Yan Yan? ?
What does that person mean?
When did Yan Yan become a general?
Is that person crazy? How can a woman become a general?
"I see. If you hadn't told me that, I would have almost forgotten. General Yan's granddaughter has become the first female general in Daliang."
"I went to see the day when the Southwest Army returned to Beijing. General Yan was wearing armor and riding a tall horse. He looked very majestic. But I only saw him from afar, and it was not as shocking as when I saw him in the food street."
"Did she also wear armor when she went to the food court?"
"Of course not. I never thought I would be able to meet General Yan up close and in private, so I was shocked."
"So what's she like in private? Is she very fierce?"
"She wasn't mean at all and was a very nice person. I was squeezed by the people behind me and almost bumped into General Yan. It was only because she held me with one hand that I was able to stand firm. General Yan also smiled and told me to be careful."
"Oh my god, is General Yan so gentle? When the news of her beating up He Da came out, I thought she was a very fierce woman."
"How is that possible? General Yan is a gentleman who knows etiquette and is good at both civil and military affairs. The people she beat must be those who deserve to be beaten."
"What you said makes sense. He Da did deserve to be beaten for what he did. And General Yan didn't use any weapons, just his fists and feet. Who made He Da lose to him?"
"That's right. General Yan was appointed by His Majesty himself. She is the first female general in Daliang. How could she do something to bully others? He Dahui was beaten because he was wrong in the first place."
Shen Shu couldn't listen any longer, and a surge of anger suddenly surged in her heart.
They were indeed talking about Yan Yan.
Did Yan Yan really become a general? ?
Or was it conferred by His Majesty himself? ?
impossible.
Absolutely impossible!!!
She doesn't believe it!!
Shen Shu could no longer care about anything else, and rushed forward and asked: "Who is the General Yan you just mentioned? Is it Yan Yan?"
Several women who were talking were stunned. Where did this man come from?
One of them said, "Yes, we are talking about General Yan."
When His Majesty personally appointed General Yan, he had a notice posted to announce it to the world. Could it be that this person didn't know? ?
Shen Shu's body trembled uncontrollably and her voice became shrill.
"Impossible!! How could Yan Yan become a general?"
The woman who had just praised Yan Yan so much was immediately displeased. She stared at Chen Shu and said, "Who are you? General Yan is the first female general in Daliang. How can I allow you to address her by her name?"
