Shen Shi was thrilled when he heard this, and finally nodded: "It's okay, you go out of the house in person and send a letter to the fifth brother." Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info"

Zheng's mother responded with a smile, and without delay, she immediately quit the house.

The courtyard where Shen Qian lives is quite close to the Dingbei Hou Mansion, and it is only half an hour to come and go. With Shen Qian's temperament, he will definitely come with Mother Zheng soon.

As soon as Zheng's mother left, Shen called Birong Bitong in: "I want to bathe and change clothes, you two go and prepare some hot water." ”

In broad daylight, why do you suddenly have to shower and change clothes and make up?

Bi Tong was secretly surprised in her heart, and asked tentatively, "Could it be that there is a distinguished guest who wants to visit Madame?"

In Shen's heart, what kind of distinguished guest is not as important as Shen Qian. Hearing Bi Tong ask, the corners of his lips curled slightly: "Fifth Uncle Shen will come in a while." ”

Bitong is also smart, and immediately said with a smile: "The fifth uncle is the most polite, and he hasn't been to the house since he moved to another courtyard." If you know that your wife is not feeling well, you will come to visit her. ”

This sounds pleasing to the ear.

Shen's brows stretched, and even the gloomy mood of the day also opened up and the sun rose, and he said with a smile: "Okay, don't be poor." Let's go get some hot water!"

Bi Tong smiled and retreated.

After exiting the door, Bi Tong called a little maid who was usually the most confidant and whispered a few words: "...... Go to Yiliuyuan and tell Linglong about it. ”

The little maid nodded, and quietly slipped away to Yiliu Courtyard without mentioning it.

……

Shen bathed and changed clothes, dressed up newly, and carefully applied grease and powder, covering most of the haggard and sick appearance for many days.

But I waited and waited, and I didn't wait for Zheng's mother to come back.

It wasn't until it was getting late that Zheng's mother came back with a gloomy face.

Shen's heart sank, and he asked anxiously, "What's the matter?"

"Fifth Uncle Shen drinks and plays chess with his friends every day, and he is very free, where will something happen. The old slave waited for a whole afternoon, and the fifth uncle never came back. Seeing that it was getting dark, I had to come back to my life. ”

Zheng's mother waited in vain for an afternoon, and her mood was really not much better, and there was a bit of annoyance in her tone.

Shen breathed a sigh of relief: "As long as he's fine." He lives alone in the courtyard, and it is inevitable that he will be lonely and lonely. It's not a bad thing to make friends you can talk to. ”

When Mother Zheng saw her like this, she couldn't help but feel sour in her heart: "Madame thinks about the fifth uncle everywhere, and I just hope that the fifth uncle will not live up to Madame's heart." ”

This vague and unclear tone made Shen confused: "If you have anything to say, just say it." Our master and servant, do we still have to go around in circles?"

Mother Zheng sighed: "The old slave has served his wife for many years, and in the old slave's heart, no one is more important than his wife." The old slave dared to remind his wife, or send someone to pay more attention to the people around the fifth uncle. The old slave listened to the people in the courtyard say that a few months ago, the fifth uncle got acquainted with a Zhao Juren and often corresponded. These days, the comings and goings are even more frequent. The fifth uncle often went to Zhao Ju's house to talk and play chess, and it was half a day's work. ”

Seeing that Shen still didn't care, Zheng's mother had to confide in the latest news: "That Zhao Juren, there is a younger sister in the family, who is very beautiful, and has read some poetry and books, and is quite talented. is now nineteen years old, and Yunying is not married. The fifth uncle often goes to Zhao Juren's house, and he often meets that Zhao girl. ”

Shen couldn't laugh anymore, and a beautiful face that had been carefully depicted and dressed up was instantly distorted: "Mother Zheng, what you said is true?"

Mother Zheng sighed again: "The old slave has been by Mrs. for so many years, when did he lie and deceive Mrs. The fifth uncle has been alone for many years, and now he suddenly meets such a young and beautiful girl, maybe he will think about it. ”

Shen Shi was stunned for a moment, and quickly said, "No." The fifth brother only has me in his heart, and he will never empathize with other women and fall in love with other women. ”

Not necessarily.

In the past, Shen Qian lived in Xijing with his daughter, and he hardly went out on weekdays, and he didn't have the opportunity to meet the women he recognized. Now that I have arrived in the capital, my horizons have broadened, and I am afraid that my mind will also be active.

Mother Zheng thought so in her heart, but she couldn't bear to say it to make Shen worried, and followed Shen's voice and said, "Madam said yes." The fifth uncle and his wife are deeply affectionate, and they should not be such negative people. It must be that the old slave is too worried. ”

……

What Shen said in his mouth was firm, but the more he thought about it, the more he didn't feel good, and that night, he tossed and turned and almost didn't sleep all night.

When he woke up the next morning, Shen's eyes were blue and black, and his eyes were bloodshot. This embarrassed and haggard appearance can't be covered by no amount of fat powder.

Shen was in a bad mood and didn't bother to put on makeup to cover up.

Anyway, she is now lying in the house to recuperate, and she doesn't even have to take half a step out of the door. No matter how embarrassed it is, no one will see it.

Unexpectedly, a maid soon came to report: "Mrs. Qiyu, Fifth Uncle Shen specially came to visit." Mrs. Tai ordered the second young lady, the fourth young master, and the young lady to come over together. Now he is waiting in the inner hall of Rongdetang. ”

He really cared about her.

Zheng's mother ran away yesterday, and he came to see her early this morning.

Shen Shi was both surprised and delighted, and hurriedly said: "Come on, help me to the inner hall." ”

Jasper Bitong immediately walked in.

Biyu smiled and suggested, "Madame, it's better to change your clothes and make up before going to the inner hall." lest the fifth uncle see his wife's sick face, and his heart is not happy. ”

"The fifth uncle specially came to visit the patient, why did the lady hide her sick face in front of her mother's brother. Bitong's words were diametrically opposed to Biyu: "Moreover, the fifth uncle has already arrived in the inner hall." It's not good to keep the fifth uncle waiting for a long time. ”

Shen wanted to see Shen Qian's mood was really urgent, and after a little weighing, he listened to Bitong: "No need to dress up, go to the inner hall quickly." ”

Biyu glanced at Bitong with some smuggling.

Bitong didn't even lift her eyelids.

Shen didn't have time to pay attention to the two maids' eyebrows and eyes, and went to the inner hall with excitement and urgency.

Shen Qian was indeed already waiting in the inner hall.

Shen Qinglan stood beside Shen Qian, Gu Guanning and Gu Jinyan stood side by side, the two sisters and brothers were cold, and they were also extremely indifferent to Shen Qian's father and daughter.

When Shen saw this scene, the anger that he had not seen for a long time was about to stir in his heart again.

However, it was rare for Shen Qian to come to see her, she didn't want to argue with Gu Wanning and Gu Jinyan in front of Shen Qian, so she simply didn't notice what she was doing, and shouted with a smile: "Fifth brother, why are you free to come here today." ”

Shen Qian quickly glanced at Shen Shi, and saw that her face was dark yellow and thin, and her former beauty and elegance were worn out by her sick appearance, and she couldn't help but feel a pain in her heart.
