Chapter 191: Xiao Nian

In the years since, Qin Lan has been cowering in Qingfeng Hall watching her daughter, relying on poetry and ancient books......

As the eldest daughter, Shen Moyun naturally didn't get much affection from other people in the mansion, on the contrary, her childhood was spent in countless minor illnesses and disasters......

The Lu family doesn't want to see her, Shen Mu doesn't like her, her mother is not favored, and she has no family support, Shen Moyun has the name of the eldest daughter, most of the time, even the maiden mother-in-law with a little status dares to show her face!

It wasn't until five years ago that Shen Moyun almost drowned in the pond, and this incident indirectly killed the maid Qiuxin, that Qin Lan made up her mind and wanted to buy a few years for her daughter, so she knelt in the courtyard of Ronghuitang with her weak body for a night before she got the approval of the Lu family, and took Shen Moyun back to her hometown in Jinling on the grounds of recuperation.

Three years ago, Qin Lan died.

Maybe it was because they were ashamed of Qin Lan, or maybe they didn't want to make the Xia family and Aunt Xia uncomfortable, the Shen family not only agreed to bury Qin Lan in Jinling, but also agreed to Shen Moyun's request to keep filial piety for Qin Lan for three years.

Shen Mu only symbolically went to Jinling to worship his deceased wife, and made that boring promise to Shen Moyun, who was young at the time, and promised to come to pick her up in Beijing in person three years later.

Qin Lan has worked hard for her daughter's future, and these are her arrangements.

In this way, it can not only ensure the safe growth of my daughter, but also give my daughter four more years to prepare and buffer.

In fact, Qin Lan did not stop at what she had planned for Shen Moyun? Knowing that her days were short, if she didn't make comprehensive arrangements for her daughter, her daughter would fall into the tiger's mouth after four years!

So as soon as Qin Lan arrived in Jinling, she asked her brother Qin Lang to go with her to ask Guanshan, a famous female celebrity in northern Zhejiang at that time, to teach Shen Moyun chess books.

Although this Guanshan is famous, he can be proud of himself, never accept apprentices, and has always loved idle clouds and wild cranes, traveling the rivers and lakes.

According to Mama Gu's recollection, Qin Lang and the others took a lot of twists and turns, and went through many tests before they asked Naguanshan to nod, even so. She only promised to teach Shen Moyun for three months a year.

Nowadays, Shen Moyun's good words, good chess, and good tea are all inherited from Guanshan.

Qin Lan before he died. She was still deliberately telling Shen Moyun that keeping filial piety for herself was just an excuse, and she must not waste her schoolwork because of this, until Shen Moyun made a poisonous oath, she slowly closed her eyes......

This story Shen Moyun has heard many times. This time was no exception, before Mama Gu finished speaking, she had already burst into tears.

However, there was always a question that lingered in Shen Moyun's heart for many years, making her puzzled:

The Xia family is a big family, rich, powerful and status, even if Xia Hongsu is a concubine, but she is both young and beautiful, and she has the means, the Xia family can marry a nobleman as an aunt or marry a petty official as the main room!

But Shen Mu at that time was neither famous nor a high-ranking official. There's already a main room!

With Xia Hongxi's arrogance, how could he look down on Shen Mu?

She can't believe in any absurd words such as love at first sight and true love, at least this kind of ridiculous reason can't happen to Xia Hongxi!

Could that be the reason why the Shen family has anything else that may be worthy of Xia Hongsu's preference for not being famous, and would rather be an aunt than marry into the Shen Mansion?

And why did his grandfather, who was above 10,000 people under one person, suddenly give up, what was the reason why Qin Qiong, who was high-spirited and bright, ignored the situation and retreated bravely?

Also, why did her mother not get better after drinking the medicine for more than ten years? If someone really poisoned her hands and feet in the medicine, this person was most likely Xia Hongxi! But since she has the ability to take the medicine. Why didn't she just poison her mother and sit on the position of the main mother, but dragged it on for so many years? Let her herself be a concubine for more than ten years in vain?......

Shen Moyun's heart turned a thousand times for a while, as if he had caught something, and he felt that he couldn't figure it out at all. A qiē seems to be in front of you. It's related, but she lacks some key points that can piece these things together!

Let's wait for Cui Yiheng to have news before making a plan!

This night, she slept very unsteadily. In his sleep, Xia Hongxi, Xia Heng, Shen Mu. Lu Shi, Shen Ling...... One by one, the figures were floating in front of her, making it difficult for her to sleep! These people were more than monkeys, and from whose mouths could she get some truth out of them?

It wasn't until the third watch that she barely fell asleep......

"Twenty-three, after the sacrifice, the child clapped his hands and laughed. In five or six days, the New Year will come. Evil box, walnut, drop drop two cannons. The five sons of Dengke ping-pong sounded, and the fire rose higher than the sky. ”

On the second day, Shen Moyun was woken up by the cheerful singing of the two new little maids.

Today is the twenty-third day of the lunar month, and we will have a reunion dinner at noon, and at night we will sacrifice to the god of the stove, send the king of the stove, and offer incense and fruit......

It's destined to be a day that won't stop!

Sure enough, Shen Moyun was dragged in the outer room by all kinds of chores in the morning.

Today's events seem to be very special, she guessed that it was probably because of the Chinese New Year, and these bits and pieces suddenly became complicated?

It wasn't until near noon that she barely managed to get most of the things done.

Seeing that it was almost noon, Shen Moyun hurried to Ronghui Hall with two maids.

This is the first reunion dinner before the Chinese New Year, and today is the 23rd year of the lunar month, so this meal is particularly grand! She doesn't want to be the last one to arrive at this meal, leaving the number of people to fall under her control.

Seeing that he would soon turn another corner and arrive at Ronghui Hall, Shen Moyun finally breathed a sigh of relief. It wasn't noon, and she wasn't late. The big kitchen is very close to this Ronghui Hall, and now that it's her turn to preside over the feed, she has to go to the big kitchen to take a look first.

Today is not counting fruits, 12 cold dishes, 24 hot dishes, almost all the cooks and rough mothers-in-law in the big kitchen, and the women who pass the dishes are very busy, Shen Moyun looked around and felt very satisfied, so he was ready to go to the next door to take a look at the food room and go to ask for peace.

All the dishes must be sent to this food room after they are cooked. I saw that more than a dozen small red clay stoves had been lined up, and the main dishes were warming up one after another.

This arrangement is to concentrate the dishes in this room for a while, and secondly, because the winter weather is cold, the dishes are easy to get cold, so they are placed in this room with a small stove to continue to heat and keep warm, and thirdly, to add flavor to the dishes.

Shen Moyun looked around, and was about to leave, but a warm mother-in-law greeted her.

"The girl is here, the old slave is Xu Pozi who was transferred from elsewhere to help today, the cooks are busy at the moment, and the old slave is not good to disturb. This dish has been simmering for half an hour, why don't you let the girl take a look at it for the slave maid, is this dish hot enough?

Shen Moyun took a deep breath, with a bright smile on his face, but the handkerchief in his hand was clenched tightly... (To be continued.) )
