Chapter 21 Miscellaneous Matters
But only for a moment.
Ming Shu had already turned his head to look at Fu Yunsheng, as if he was talking to him.
So Shen Fengxu also turned his head, still with a gentle smile on his face, and said to the two: "It's not too early, let's go back in a while." Even so, my heart is already complicated and difficult to speak.
Shen Baitang couldn't help but be a little strange and asked, "What's wrong?"
Shen Fengxu just shook his head: "I'm a little tired, I want to go back and rest." ”
"Good. ”
After the three of them finished eating, the people downstairs had already left.
Shen Fengxu's eyes looked through the window painted on bright paper, looking at the crowd of people outside the building, as if his thoughts were gradually dissipating with the crowd, and he didn't know where he went.
Her feelings for Ming Shu are too complicated.
There is no doubt that Ming Shu is a noble son in Beijing.
It's just that Mingshu has a weak and cold temperament, and he doesn't care about everything, although he is the son of King Ning, he has never participated in the struggle for imperial power, and has always stayed out of things, living a life of idle clouds and wild cranes, and he is at ease.
In the years when Shen Fengxu married Ming Shu, the two have always respected each other.
Except for Shen Fengxu, Ming Shu has never married a woman from another family, and there are never other side concubines and concubines in the house, others only say that their husband and wife are loving and harmonious, but others don't know that Ming Shu has always treated Shen Fengxu so lightly and alienated.
So much so that Shen Fengxu once suspected that Ming Shu had the goodness of Longyang and the habit of breaking sleeves.
Until that night, Ming Shu confided in Shen Fengxu that in fact, he didn't want to marry a wife, but Princess Ning repeatedly urged, and he had no choice but to pick a Shen Fengxu who was indisputable in the list of concubines.
...... the world?
Shen Fengxu only felt a little funny.
It turns out that this is the only advantage she has in Mingshu's eyes.
But in this life, she is destined not to be indisputable.
Come to think of it, it should have nothing to do with Mingshu.
Just thinking about this, I saw a pair of slender hands waving in my eyes, white and slender, and my fingers were like onion roots.
"Feng Fu, are you tired? Let's go home. It was Shen Baitang's concerned soft voice.
Shen Fengxu came back to his senses and hurriedly responded: "Okay." ”
The three of them got into the carriage and went all the way back to Dongningbo's mansion.
Because of his concern for Shen Fengxu, Shen Baitang sent Shen Fengxu all the way into the Snowmelt Courtyard, and told Shen Fengxu to rest before leaving the Snowmelt Courtyard.
Just as he was about to leave, Shen Baitang's eyes were attracted by the maid on the side.
It's cinnabar.
I saw Cinnabar standing quietly on one side, bowing his head slightly, although the person was here, it seemed to have disappeared quietly, if it wasn't for a special look, I was afraid that no one would notice Cinnabar.
But Shen Baitang noticed it.
She said casually: "The flowers have withered, and they don't look good, so let's pick them off." ”
After that, Shen Baitang walked out of the Snow Melting Courtyard.
Chensha watched Shen Baitang leave, and raised his hand to touch his sideburns.
It was the apricot blossom that Shen Fengxu had on her sideburns yesterday, but now the petals are dry and the color of the flower has faded, and it is no longer the color of yesterday.
So she took off the withered apricot blossoms on her sideburns and put them in the incense tassels, cherishing them.
When Chensha walked into the bedroom, Dansha was chatting with Shen Fengxu on the side.
"Girl, do you know? Dansha said with some dissatisfaction, "Not long ago, the eldest lady took a maid from Jinchun Courtyard, saying that the maid was dissatisfied with the four girls, so she designed to frame the four girls. ”
"But that maid was clearly pulled out by the eldest lady to take the blame, and now she has been disposed of. I also pity that, working beside the four girls, and finally ending up like this. ”
All of this was expected by Shen Fengxu, so she was not in a hurry, but bowed slightly: "I know." ”
"Girl!" Dansha stamped her foot anxiously, "how can this matter be revealed so easily!"
"Then what do you want?" Shen Fengxu glanced at her, "Do you want to let Shen Yuxiang be sent to the family temple with this incident, or let the eldest lady lose her position as the main mother?"
Dansha was speechless for a while.
Naturally, it was impossible, but she didn't want to expose it so easily.
"You can rest assured, although they have not received any substantive punishment, but grandmother has her own conclusion in her heart, but she just doesn't want to hype up this matter, Shen Yuxiang murdered her sisters is not false, but if it spreads, the reputation of Yu Dongningbo Mansion is not good. In this regard, Shen Fengxu has his own ideas.
Just overnight, it is unrealistic to want to bring down the eldest lady or Shen Yuxiang, even if they make mistakes, they are also the masters of Dongningbo Mansion, even if the old lady refuses to take care of the old feelings, it has to look at the Yi'anbo Mansion behind the eldest lady.
What's more, the old lady has not been disappointed in them now.
At most, some hate iron but not steel.
Chensha stepped forward with a cup of tea and said, "Girl." ”
Shen Fengxu took it, raised his eyes to look at Chensha, and suddenly asked, "Where is Cailian now?"
"Working in the firewood room. Cinnabar whispered, "But the girl wants me to keep an eye on her?"
Shen Fengxu waved his hand: "Don't worry too much, and keep her first, and use it for yourself in the future." ”
"The servant understands. ”
But Dansha was a little puzzled: "What's the use of picking lotus? ”
Shen Fengxu just smiled and didn't explain.
............
......
The next day, after Shen Fengxu said goodbye, he was about to get up and go to Xiangmei Courtyard.
But before I walked to Xiangmei Courtyard, I saw that on the green path on one side, the second lady was scolding Aunt Su.
The second lady stood in the shade of the tree, with a maid on the handrail on one side, while Aunt Su knelt alone in the sun.
Shen Fengxu's footsteps paused slightly.
I only heard the second lady sneer: "You don't even take my orders to heart at all! What do you do when you often come to Shen Yumin's yard? Having a biological mother like you is really a stain on Shen Yumin. ”
Aunt Su just hung her head, her back straightened, and she had the heart to retort, and in the end, she could only swallow all the words into her stomach.
"Hmph! It's been seven years since you entered the house, and you still don't understand the rules at all! If you let others look at me and think that I can't regulate people, you will kneel here for me until it gets dark! I don't have to visit Shen Yumin again in the future, so as not to teach the old man's children badly!"
With that, the second lady took the handmaid's hand and walked away.
And Aunt Su knelt alone on the hard stone road, very miserable and pitiful.
Shen Fengxu sighed slightly.
The Gaomen compound is different. Even if the aunt is favored, she will always be subordinate to the wife, not to mention that the current Aunt Su has already lost her favor, otherwise the second lady would not beat and scold her at every turn.
Shen Fengxu suddenly remembered what Shen Yumin said to her before: "I miss my mother." ”
So Shen Fengxu turned his head to look at Dansha and asked, "Can the second uncle be in the mansion today?"
Dansha thought for a moment: "I heard from the steward in the backyard that the second master seems to have gone out early in the morning. ”
