Chapter 164 Going the way of green tea, leaving green tea with nowhere to go
If you really don't want to tell me, I won't...
[Mrs. Shen comes from a family of scholars.] The system quickly interrupted Jiang Yueyang's words, [Her father is the dean of a college. He has a wife and a concubine, and they have one son and two daughters. Mrs. Shen is the only legitimate child.]
Jiang Yueyang frowned, "Little melon, your early preparations are really getting longer and longer."
Emperor Yuan and others nodded in agreement, but it was also a unique experience, like listening to a short opera in a theater.
Mrs. Shen still looked calm and composed, because she felt that with Censor Shen's melon in front of her, her green tea-flavored melon was nothing.
The system ignored Jiang Yueyang's muttering and continued: [When Madam Shen was still in the boudoir, she had always studied in the academy with her half brothers and half sisters.
One day, a handsome and well-educated scholar came to the academy. Mrs. Shen's younger sister fell in love with the scholar at first sight, and Mrs. Shen also had some feelings for the scholar.
Censor Shen: !!! Didn’t Madam say that I was the first person she liked?
Madam Shen secretly glanced at Censor Shen, and seeing him looking at her with resentment, she couldn't help but look up at the sky guiltily.
Seeing Jiang Yueyang meditating, the system continued: [Once, Madam Shen was trapped in the school due to the rain and couldn't go home. Coincidentally, the scholar brought an umbrella, so he offered to take her home.
Her concubine sister heard this and said worriedly that Madam Shen was weak and would get sick from such a strong wind and rain. She asked the scholar to take her back to get Madam Shen a cloak and a hand warmer.
Hearing this, Jiang Yueyang's doubts became clearer and clearer, but she still asked uncertainly: "Xiaogua, could it be that Madam Shen learned the art of tea making from her concubine sister?"
[That's right, Madam Shen's concubine sister is a green tea, and Madam Shen has learned the art of tea from her and has surpassed her master.]
Mrs. Shen: Are you praising me or belittling me?
The Lady of the Duke of England looked calmly at Madam Shen who was beside Madam Bai, with an expression of disbelief in her eyes.
She couldn't imagine what Mrs. Shen looked like when she exuded the fragrance of tea!
Jiang Yueyang was a little excited to hear that Mrs. Shen was even more powerful than Jiazi Green Tea.
【Come on, tell me how they fought.】
The system coughed twice heavily, [Mrs. Shen's father admired the scholar very much and wanted to marry his daughter to him.
So he called Mrs. Shen and her sister, said he wanted to marry one of them to the scholar, and asked them what they thought.
Mrs. Shen's half-sister said that Mrs. Shen was good-looking, good at studying, and a legitimate daughter, and was a perfect match for the scholar, so she asked the dean to marry Mrs. Shen to the scholar.
She also said that she was born out of wedlock and was not worthy of that scholar, so she should just find an honest man to marry in the future.
Upon seeing this, Madam Shen immediately began to cough violently as if she had tuberculosis. She weakly said that her health was poor and no family would like a girl like her. She asked the dean to marry her concubine to the scholar, and she would stay at home to fulfill her filial duties.
Mrs. Shen: ...You are the one with tuberculosis!
Jiang Yueyang exclaimed: "Following the path of the green tea, leaving them with nowhere to go is a brilliant move!"
Over there, Emperor Yuan was still confused and turned to ask Xie Xu, "Do you understand?"
Xie Xu shook his head hesitantly, he didn’t understand!
Upon seeing this, Emperor Yuan looked at General Zhenguo again. General Zhenguo shook his head, seeming to be really confused.
The Duke of England couldn't bear to see this and explained, "The concubine's words were hinting to the dean that she was of a poor family background. If she missed the scholar, she wouldn't be able to marry a better man in the future. Madam Shen has a good family background and won't have trouble finding a husband."
Madam Shen used her own method to retaliate, hinting to the dean that she was in poor health and would be despised by others. If she missed the scholar, she would have to stay at home and become an old maid.
As soon as these words were spoken, those who didn't understand the tea talk instantly understood.
I didn't expect that these ordinary words actually contained a hidden meaning.
Someone asked in confusion, "Duke Yingguo, you don't have any concubines fighting over your affections. How do you know so much?"
"I don't have any concubines, but my father-in-law has eight. If you hear it often, you'll understand."
As soon as these words were spoken, everyone present could not help but look at Emperor Yuan. In terms of the number of concubines, Your Majesty was undoubtedly the leader.
But why doesn’t Your Majesty understand?
Is it true that His Majesty has a problem with his brain as Lord Xiao Jiang and that little kid said?
Emperor Yuan felt uncomfortable being stared at and immediately said unhappily, "What are you looking at? Go back to sleep when you're full!"
When everyone saw that Emperor Yuan was angry, they quickly looked away and lowered their heads.
The system's voice continued to emanate, "The dean was worried that Madam Shen wouldn't be able to marry in the future, so he immediately decided to marry her off to that scholar."
[Then how did Madam Shen end up marrying Censor Shen? ]
[Haha...] The system laughed. [Because the scholar was actually an ordinary man. After he learned that the dean intended to marry Madam Shen to him, his true nature gradually revealed itself.
His series of speeches made Madam Shen feel like she had eaten a pile of shit. That shit was so disgusting... she would rather eat that drunken exhibitionist, Censor Shen.
Censor Shen: At the end, you want to stab me one more time, right?
Mrs. Shen: You scolded two people with just one sentence. You really know how to talk!
After the system finished speaking, everyone present suddenly lost their appetite and put down the skewers in their hands.
A gust of cold wind blew, and everyone shivered subconsciously, suddenly realizing that it was getting late.
Just then, someone stood up and said, "My dear colleagues, I am old and can't stand the long night, so I will go home first."
Someone stood up and said, "I'll go back first."
Jiang Yueyang was worried about the two little guys, so she deliberately yawned to indicate that she wanted to go back and rest.
As soon as she left, the others realized that there were no more melons to eat and felt bored, so they left too.
In the end, only a few generals who loved drinking and the fifth prince who was greedy for food were left.
Jiang Yueyang returned to the inn, washed up, and went to bed to read a novel.
Unexpectedly, not long after she lay down, she heard voices coming from the next room.
"What did that girl Qingye say?"
When Jiang Yueyang heard Emperor Yuan's voice, she sat up suddenly. Before she could stick to the wall to eavesdrop, a "hush" sound came from next door.
Then, she couldn't hear anything.
I felt itchy when I couldn't hear her, so without saying anything, I bought a high-tech stethoscope-like device from the system mall and stuck it on the wall.
The Queen's voice came immediately, "Your daughter said it's all up to you."
"Then he's taken a fancy to me." Emperor Yuan changed the subject, his voice becoming a little serious. "Empress, it's time for the Crown Prince to appoint a Crown Princess."
