Shen Mansion in the south of the city

When Yang returned to the Shen Mansion, it was close to Hai, and she was in a hurry, and I don't know if the old man noticed that she was not in the mansion.

When she stepped into the main courtyard, Shen Shengxu had already walked to the gate of the courtyard, and hurriedly asked with a smile, "The master hasn't bathed yet, right?" ”

"It's so late, why aren't you in your own yard? I was about to go out to find you. ”

"I ...... Just now I went to Yue'er to have a look. Yang Shi thought about it again, afraid that he had already asked people to go to Yue'er's Tongyao Xiaozhu to look for it, so he said: "Later, I felt a little bored, so I walked around the backyard of the house." ”

Shen Shengxu didn't care, turned around and walked into the inner room. Yang breathed a sigh of relief, followed him, stayed in the inner room, and raised his hand to untie his outer robe.

"Yueya's matter, you don't have to worry, my mother will never make it difficult for me, and she will go back to the old house in a while, so I don't mind if others think she is a concubine." Shen Shengxu lowered his eyes and looked at Yang and slowly persuaded her.

Yang hung the robe on the carved hanger, paused in the movement of his hand, and turned to Shen Shengxu: "After all, she is your daughter after all, but ...... The emperor's decree said that the second daughter of the Shen Mansion was the crown princess, and the emperor ordered Yue'er, but she came like this, if others asked how many young ladies the new lady was, I would ...... How do I respond to people? ”

"This marriage is given by the Holy Father, and I can't be sloppy, so I will ask Prince Su to help me mention it to the emperor, so that the emperor knows that I have recognized my daughter who has been lost for many years, and Yue'er's ranking has changed, we have not covered it up, and we have given it to the emperor, so there will be no such concerns."

"Speaking of Yue'er's marriage, I want to pick a day to make a wish on the incense of the dead Yan Nunnery, so that the Bodhisattva can bless Yue'er smoothly."

"Didn't you always go to Nanshan? Why are you going to die? Shen Shengxu said as he walked to the bathroom next to him, and Yang followed behind as usual.

"I heard that the goddess of Mercy in Shiyan Nunnery is quite spiritual, so let Ah Xia and Yue'er go together."

Shen Shengxu took off his dirty clothes and sat down in the bathtub with a smile, "Ah Xia is right to go to pay homage to Zi Guanyin, Yue'er, you are too anxious." ”

Yang picked up a towel and wiped Shen Shengxu's back: "Only in this way can it appear sincere, it is better than cramming Buddha's feet temporarily." ”

"These things, you can do it yourself, the day of His Royal Highness the Prince's wedding should be set soon, it is estimated that when His Royal Highness returns from Jiangxia, the day should come out."

"I heard that Shi Yan's presiding Huining Shitai has a good lecture on Buddhism, I want to ask her to tell the children, the master knows Huining Shitai, I wonder if you can talk to Huining Shitai?"

When Shen Shengxu heard Yang mention this, he also remembered that Yueya had not been to Shiyan since she returned home. Mrs. Huining used to take care of Shen Hanyue, and now that the child has been found, she should indeed be asked to visit this elder.

"Madam, I want Yueya to go with her, she should meet Mrs. Huining."

Yang did not answer, and his face was embarrassed.

Shen Shengxu understood her concerns and said with relief: "If Mrs. feels inconvenient, then I will let the housekeeper make other arrangements." I will also tell Yueya, she should call your mother is, for so many years, although my mother has not expressed her position, but it is also a laissez-faire and acquiescence style, so ......"

"The master is right, I will treat her as a daughter, but will she call me mother?"

"I'll teach her this, she lost her mother since she was a child, and she was shocked last time, and I don't know how she grew up before, but she must have suffered a lot, so you should take care of some."

"I understand what the master said, and I didn't treat her badly. The matter of the death of Yan Yan was mentioned to her by the old man, and if she wanted, all the children would go with her. ”

Shen Shengxu looked at the Yang family, took her hand and said, "Madam is virtuous, it is really my blessing Shen Shengxu." ”

Yang smiled and lowered his head, and the fierce color in his eyes did not let Shen Shengxu see it.

*****************

The next day, Qionghua Garden

Shen Hanyue held the eyebrow pencil in her hand and gently outlined the shape of her eyebrows.

Chinese women are similar to modern women, they are all the original eyebrows into a thin willow shape, and then slowly outline the shape of the eyebrows you like.

Shen Hanyue smiled after hearing this, she couldn't draw her eyebrows as much as she liked, and she had to match it appropriately. Because her eyebrows were only a little faint, she had also carefully traced the two eyebrows on her eyes in the past two days. Shen Hanyue, who has never used powder, in Qinglan's opinion, will not be able to wear makeup. Who knows, Shen Hanyue's movements are skillful, and without a few strokes, he has already completed it, lining the whole face more exquisite and three-dimensional.

It turns out that eyebrows are really important, they can make you look like they're all about looking good!

Qinglan was learning on the side, and couldn't help but praise: "Miss's skin is so good, she doesn't need to be powdered to be so pink." ”

"I don't dare to touch those rouge gouaches, and the rash on my face scares you to death." Shen Hanyue responded with a smile, and when she saw Qingzhu standing outside the door, she asked, "What's wrong?" ”

"Miss, Mother Luo has already arranged it!" Qingzhu walked into the boudoir and spoke.

When Shen Hanyue left the house, the eldest brother was afraid that Luo's mother would shake the news out of Qionghua Garden, so he sent her home on the grounds that Luo's mother was seriously ill, so she has not seen Luo's mother since she returned home.

Now the Yang family already knows that she has gone out, but Luo's mother knows about it and does not report it, although Luo's mother does not dare to report it because she was arrested for her privacy, and her father and eldest brother can't report it.

But Shen Hanyue was still afraid that the Yang family would find Luo's mother, so she asked Qingzhu to inquire about Luo's mother's residence.

"It should be smooth, right?" Shen Hanyue asked.

"Brother San Lang said that fortunately, he was in a hurry, and a few family members came to look for him, and looked at the clothes on his body, which belonged to our Shen Mansion." The eldest brother of San Lang in Qinglan's mouth is named He Dashan, and he is the third son of He's mother. Before returning to Jinzhou, Mother He explained that if there was anything, she could go to Deheng Pawnshop to find He Saburo.

Only then did Shen Hanyue know that the Deheng pawnshop that pawned jewelry at the beginning was actually his own business, but Mother He also explained that the Shen family's business was very wide, and it was not the Shen family who was in charge of the specific industry at all, so she couldn't say it, including her father and eldest brother.

Shen Hanyue didn't know why, and she didn't know why her father and eldest brother couldn't know, but Shen Hanyue still chose not to ask too much and didn't say anything to the public.

And she needs the most manpower now, such as the matter of Luo's mother, this big brother San Lang comes in handy.

Shen Hanyue opened the drawer of the dressing table and took out a well-sealed letter from the beeswax: "You ask Brother San Lang to go to Ding'an Village again, remember to go in person, there are hundreds of taels of silver tickets here." ”

Shen Hanyue is not familiar with writing traditional Chinese characters, this letter is for Qinglan to ghostwrite, because Qinglan knows the contents, so she said: "Miss, why do you want to help Mother Luo like this?" On the day you left, she suddenly said that she wanted to take in slaves and maids and sisters as righteous daughters, and then she fell ill, and she didn't know what An's heart was, why did the young lady think about her like this? "Qinglan had been abused by Mother Luo before, and she was naturally very dissatisfied with her.

"Qinglan, in fact, Mother Luo is also a poor person, she will not be like that in the future, and this time she is sick like this, it may be because she didn't dare to go back to the house and deliberately pretended, or it may be because of me." Shen Hanyue said, put the letter into Qinglan's hand, and continued: "Anyway, her son is crippled and paralyzed, I will send her to Ding'an Village, at least there are other people to help take care of her, and then hide her, it is better than being caught by the family and punished by Mrs., how can Mrs. spare her?" ”

"Miss, Mother Luo's deed of sale is still in the hands of Madame, and she can hide for a while, if she is found in the future, there will be no way to live after all!" Qingzhu reminded Shen Hanyue.

Shen Hanyue understands herself, but if the Yang family finds out that Luo's mother is hiding, she shouldn't make a big deal for her, so Shen Hanyue thinks about hiding Luo's mother in Ding'an Village first, and as for Luo's mother's deed of sale, she really has to think of a way.

"Go ahead, I know in my heart, I will also find a way for the two of you to sell your body." Shen Hanyue smiled and waved them out.

Grandmother asked Mother He to give her not only Deheng pawnshop, but also a lot of silver coins and jewelry, so Shen Hanyue has long since stopped worrying about the silver, and it is a drop in the bucket to redeem them, the key is ...... Yang's mountain is not easy to climb!

If you ask Yang directly, it will definitely not work.

Or dig a pit for her to hand over the deed of sale? It doesn't seem easy, it seems to be ...... I had to ask my father for help.

It stands to reason that my father, as the head of the family, won't even be unable to do this, right? It's just that...... Shen Hanyue is tantamount to asking her father for things like this, and she has never asked for help, so she feels a little embarrassed.

She hesitated for a long time, and finally asked Qinglan to see if her father had returned to the house, and after getting her father in the study, she changed her clothes and led Qinglan out of Qionghua Garden.

She hadn't been to her father's study, so it could be said that she wasn't familiar with most of the places in the Shen Mansion, and there was no need before, she really hadn't left Qionghua Xiaoyuan.

After leaving like this, Shen Hanyue found that although the Shen Mansion was not big, it was full of elegance, and it seemed that the Yang family's taste in this area was still good.

Along the way, rockeries, flower ponds, and pavilions can all see the traces of just repaired, and the entire Shen Mansion can be described as a new look.

Speaking of which, Shen Hanyue still has an account book in her heart, how can the Yang family be the prince's mother-in-law in the future, if the prince inherits the throne, if there is no accident, Shen Xinyue will be the queen of the world.

Therefore, Shen Hanyue really won't have any conflict with the Yang family if it is not necessary, after all, in terms of the magnates themselves, they will be at most a businessman in the future, and the gap with the Yang family's daughter is really bigger.

Sometimes she thinks that women in this era are actually quite pathetic.

For example, Shen Xinyue, who has been doing her best for a better cucumber since she was a child, should she go to great lengths to give birth to a gherkins after getting married? And the palace gate is deep, and it's not easy to keep your stomach alone, so ...... If you get married, you may not be able to conceive, and if you are pregnant, you may not be able to give birth, even if you are born, will you be raised safely?

These are all difficulties that have to be overcome one by one, how hard work? How can she accept such a lifelong struggle for cucumbers as a modern soul?

So Shen Hanyue feels that she still can't fit into this era, at least she is a woman, and her thoughts are very different, so she and Shen Xinxia and Shen Xinyue really don't have any common language, even if they want to get along, they can't do it with their easy-going nature, after all, the things of the previous generation make it impossible for them to get along harmoniously, plus their thoughts, growth, and future are all too different.

Thinking of this, Shen Hanyue could only sigh, in her previous life, she had no sisters who envied others, but now that she has sisters, she ...... It's like a stranger!

But this kind of strangeness is very special, after all, in the same house, it is natural that there will be a chance encounter, for example...... Right now......

Shen Hanyue smiled lightly and watched Shen Xinyue and Shen Ayao walk towards her hand in hand.

Shen Xinyue and Shen Ayao walked towards her hand in hand, both of them had a light smile on their faces, and a few maids came behind them.

Shen Xinyue was dressed in a lilac-colored smoky cloud butterfly dress, graceful and charming in her slight steps, revealing an innate elegance, if she didn't know her age, Shen Hanyue would shout for her immortal posture.

But...... She is just at the end of her life, and she is only fifteen years old, so charming and delicate, without the innocence and immaturity of a girl, this praise Shen Hanyue can't be called out again. Maybe men and women have different visions, high-ranking men like such women, beautiful and beautiful like a book coming out, speech and demeanor are also in place, it is really a model among everyone's ladies, no, it should be a model of a model!

In a moment, Sister Hua has come to her, "Sister Yue." Shen Ayao greeted her first.

Shen Hanyue bowed: "I'm going to my father's study, are you visiting the garden?" ”

"Sister Yue has always been in Qionghua Xiaoyuan to recuperate, my mother told us not to disturb my sister, I and A-Yao are going to practice dance, I didn't expect to see my sister, speaking of which, my sister has been back home for a few months, and we haven't spoken yet!" Shen Xinyue's eyes were like a clear spring, and her voice was soft, as clear as the droplets of water covering the flowers in the morning.

Shen Hanyue listened to it in her ears and felt that this sentence was said satisfactorily, she not only explained the reason why she couldn't meet before, but also revealed the joy of seeing each other at the moment, but she couldn't continue to talk because she had to go to class.

I have to say that Shen Xinyue has always been taught by the old lady from the palace, and this grace is comfortable and quite willing to accept it.

Shen Hanyue didn't want to talk to them anymore, so she naturally followed the conversation and said: "Now that I'm fine, my father said that he would arrange a family banquet in a few days, and we will have a good chat at that time." ”

Shen Xinyue smiled and lightly opened her thin lips: "I heard that the eldest sister will also come back, and our sisters will have to drink a few glasses at that time." ”

"Okay, that's good, then I won't delay your class."

Shen Ayao nodded with a smile and said, "It's Daddy's Mo Hanzhai in front, that sister walks slowly, and A-Yao also goes to class." ”

Shen Hanyue smiled lightly, stepped forward with embroidered shoes, Qinglan saluted Shen Xinyue and Shen Ayao, and then took a step. Who knew that when several people converged, her center of gravity was unstable, and she stumbled forward, and Shen Hanyue was suddenly pushed by Qinglan.

Seeing that the two of them were about to make a big mistake, fortunately, Shen Hanyue took a step forward and supported the ground with her right hand.

Shen Hanyue had palpitations in her heart, and she didn't know how this accident happened.

"Fortunately, my sister didn't fall, I was scared to death!" Shen Xinyue patted her chest, and then complained to Qinglan: "You girl, why don't you be careless when you walk?" ”

Qinglan was already half frightened to death, and immediately knelt down: "Miss, the slave didn't mean it. ”

Shen Hanyue could blame, and stepped forward to help her up, but heard the girl in green clothes beside Shen Xinyue snort softly: "Miss, your hairpin-"

Shen Hanyue was surprised, turned her head to look, and saw the stunned expressions of Shen Xinyue and Shen Ayao, and the complexion of the maid ring behind them also changed suddenly, and then followed the eyes of everyone, only to find that she was stepping on a golden hairpin under her feet, as if Shen Xinyue had just inserted a gemstone into her hair bun.
