"Mother!" Shen Mingyan looked at her mother with a sad face: "Our food and clothing now are all given by my father." If Daddy is gone, and there is another fire in the house, how are we going to live?"

Qin Qingyu hesitated for a moment, and covered her daughter's mouth: "What nonsense are you talking about!

Shen Mingyan turned her head and avoided her mother's hand: "In other words, if Daddy doesn't give us money to spend anymore, can we still live well?"

Qin Qingyu sighed: "Why don't you give it! Daddy loves you so much! Don't think about it, okay?"

Cai Xiang on the side also helped: "Third girl, you are the most painful thing for the master." You don't know how many gifts the lord has given you since you were sick. ”

"What if Daddy is gone?" Shen Mingyan said, tears welling up in her eyes.

Qin Qingyu hugged her daughter into her arms: "Don't be afraid, your father is fine." Just now, Lianxin came over and asked if you were okay. He'll be coming to see you soon. ”

Lying on her mother's shoulder, Shen Ming's heart was mixed for a while, and the more she thought about it, the more sad she became: "My father is gone, my mother was also burned by the fire, and my mother has no one to rely on."

Daddy is gone, and his mother is kissed by fire, and his comfort nest is burned. The perfunctory of the eldest mother, the ridicule of the second sister, the betrayal of the maid, the foolishness of Chongxi, the viciousness of the mother-in-law, and the tragic Shen Mingyan who finally died in the fire couldn't stop crying anymore, so she simply let go of her voice and cried.

Xindao's daughter was going to talk nonsense again, Qin Qingyu waved her hand at Cai Qing Cai Xiang.

Picking green and fragrant will leave the boudoir.

Gently closing the door, Cai Xiang sighed: "This time the third girl is really sick, and the tears of the past few days have caught up with the time when the tiger is gone." She's not like that on a regular basis. ”

Cai Qing also sighed: "I'm really worried, in case that cat will be in the future."

"No!" Cai Xiang bit her lip, "We'll help take care of it." ”

"People who don't usually cry are really distressed when they cry. Don't look at her usual big swagger, but in private she is the most emotional. ”

"I want you to say it, it's sad to dream like this, hey"

In the boudoir, Qin Qingyu gently stroked her daughter's back and said softly: "Sister-in-law, you listen to your mother, everything is your dream, even Dr. Li said that you will be cured in three or five days." ”

Shen Mingyan didn't answer, just hugged her mother and cried.

It seems that he wants to cry out the grief and grievances of those six or seven years.

Seeing that her daughter didn't say anything, Qin Qingyu continued to gently caress her daughter and let her cry happily.

Crying enough, Shen Ming rubbed the skirt of her mother's mother, who was wet with her crying: "Mother, my sister-in-law didn't talk nonsense!"

Qin Qingyu held her daughter's shoulders and asked her to sit up straight, took out a silk handkerchief and gently wiped her daughter's face: "Okay, well, my mother listens to you." ”

"Mother!" Shen Mingyan took the silk handkerchief, wiped away her tears and snot in three or two, and said with bright eyes: "Mother, everything is true, when the sister-in-law recovers, Daddy will organize a thirteen-year-old birthday banquet for the sister-in-law."

At this moment, the tea garden mansion in the east of the city has also begun a busy day.

In front of the Shen Mansion is a large area of emerald green tea plantations, and you can't see the edge at a glance.

Lu Xiuying, who was sitting in front of the window on the second floor and looking at the tea garden, drank new tea leisurely.

Lu Xiuying was wearing a brown white skirt with a gorgeous long skirt with large red flowers on a green background. The beauty of red and green shows the dazzling brightness of her Danfeng eyes.

A maid in a green skirt approached and whispered: "Mrs. Hui, the second girl has already taken the fourth girl to the school with the eldest girl." ”

"Oh" Lu Xiuying lazily turned out the window: "What's wrong with this one?"

Under the spring sun, the tea girl in a five-color skirt on the tea garden like a green ocean is like a little sail, which is very eye-catching at a glance.

Since Shen Mingyu was ten years old, she would take leave to accompany her mother every year during the peak tea picking season. It is said that he wants to learn his mother's way of doing business and experience the hard work and busyness of a tea merchant, which is far more practical than what he learned in the school.

This time, I actually took the initiative to go to the school.

"Mrs. Hui, the second girl heard that the eldest girl said that Mr. today taught the way of care, so she also went. Presumably it was to watch the lady work hard, and the second girl wanted to do her best. ”

Lu Xiuying shook her head thoughtfully.

The spring breeze is blowing, bathing in the sun, looking at the beautiful scenery, or sleeping too late last night, Lu Xiuying gradually closed her eyes.

"Born in a business, both men and women, rely on real talent to learn to eat. ”

"We can't hope for a family like that. ”

"My mother knows that you have a high heart, but who made you born in a business?"

"Even if you go to be a concubine, you will be ridiculed. ”

"The Shen family and the Lu family are both tea merchants, and you used to be like your own home. ”

"Uncle is that good-natured, what else do you have to be picky?"

There is nothing to be picky about.

Now that he is in charge of everything in the Shen Mansion, it can be regarded as seeking benevolence.

In a trance, Lu Xiuying felt a pair of warm big hands on her shoulders gently kneading, and slowly opened her eyes.

"Woke you up?"

Lu Xiuying felt that no matter how gorgeous the sun was, it was not as bright as the brilliance in the man's eyes, and she couldn't help but stand up with joy in her heart: "Master, are you back?"

Shen Xianling patted his wife's hand and sat down slowly: "Sit down and say, I've suffered you these days." I heard Tao'er say, you are busy until late at night every night, but it is my dereliction of duty as a husband. ”

Lu Xiuying's eyes were replaced by a soft and joyful brilliance: "Where does the master say, this is what the concubine should be." ”

Looking at Shen Xianling silently, Lu Xiuying asked again: "What happened when the master entered the palace yesterday?"

Shen Xianling stroked his beard and smiled: "Madame guess." ”

It was rare to see Shen Xianling's interest so high, Lu Xiuying hurriedly smiled and said, "The concubine is stupid, but she can't guess it." ”

"If we do it well this time, our tea will not only be in Wuyue country. ”

"Tell me about it, sir!"

"In two months, the crown prince of the Great Zhou will come to Wu Yue to issue the golden seal of Danshu to the king. The prince of the Great Zhou loves to drink tea and is obsessed with the tea ceremony. Everywhere I went, I used tea to talk about the Tao and make talents. The king ordered me to summon Wu Yue talents in the name of tea tasting"

Lu Xiuying excitedly shook Shen Xianling's hand: "Master, did you really see you?"

Who would dare to underestimate the merchant in this way!

That girl will definitely not accept her fate like herself.

Looking at Lu Xiuying's joy like a little girl and her undisguised admiration, Shen Xianling smiled gently: "Thanks to Second Master Hu's recommendation." Just a glance from afar. ”

"What does the gentleman look like, I heard that he is just twenty years old like Tao'er."

"Madame, don't say that again. Although the king is young, he is very wise. Since succeeding to the throne, we have adhered to the self-preservation path of King Wenmu of Wusu, and relying on the blessing of the Great Zhou, we will definitely be protected from the poison of war. Besides, there is Shang's father and the prison dynasty, and the king will definitely be a Ming monarch. What is within our reach? ”

Lu Xiuying hurriedly smiled: "Yes, yes, yes, the concubine was too excited for a while, and she didn't choose what to say." ”

Shen Xianling smiled softly and said nothing.

"When did the master get acquainted with Second Master Hu, Father Shang has always had a son, Second Master Hu has been the most noble son of Wu Yue Country since he was a child. It's just that I heard that Second Master Hu has been weak since he was a child."

"It's only the last two years. Shen Xianling stood up with a faint smile and stretched out his hand to Lu Xiuying: "Come, go down and see if you are satisfied with the gift I brought you!"
