CHAPTER XXXIX
Li Yunniang smiled and waved her hand again and again, "Oh, Childe, it's really a killing, but you don't deserve this title" Although she refused again and again, and said polite words, she could look at the look on her face, she was extremely satisfied, and her original sadness was swept away, and she greeted Zhao Jinling with instant energetic enthusiasm, "Childe, I am very grateful that you can accompany Lianniang back today, why do you still bring so many valuable things, I really can't stand it." ”
"Yes, you are an elder, and you are a junior who respects you Lacey, what is there to be ashamed of, you have to say this again. These are all for you to make up for your body, Lian Niang has been concerned about you in the house, you have raised your body, Lian Niang can rest assured. "Look at this child, what do you say about her" Li Yunniang glared at Shen Qinglian with disgust, only to eat the sweetness of honey in her heart, her daughter is filial, she is responsible for herself, and it is not good to brush her mind, so she no longer refuses.
"Let Lianniang take you to sit in the house, drink tea, I'll go to the kitchen to get a few dishes, eat here at noon, and taste our home-cooked meals." Li Yunniang turned her head and carefully told Shen Qinglian to greet Zhao Jinling well, and then she happily went to get busy.
Shen Qinglian saw that her mother was excited, with a bright smile on her face, so she didn't stop her, but only asked Qing'er and Xi'er to go to the kitchen to help, and told Cui'er to take a few valuable gifts to the house. Only then did he lead Zhao Jinling into his house, and took out the tea leaves brought by Baofu, and made tea with soothing movements.
Zhao Jinling looked at Shen Qinglian's boudoir with an interesting face, the window was clear, elegant and quiet, there was an interstitial screen of pear blossoms blooming on the case, the branches of the pear trees were rough and sophisticated, the pear blossoms were as white as snow, full of interest, lifelike, and the embroidery was also extremely exquisite. He knew that Shen Qinglian's embroidery was excellent, and the family had been relying on Lianniang's embroidery to make a living, the interstitial screen should be embroidered according to the pear tree in the yard, he didn't pay much attention when he came in, and when he saw this interstitial, he couldn't help but be interested, paced to the window, followed the open window lattice, looked at the pear tree in the yard, and saw that the flowers on the branches had withered, only a few sporadic Liao Liao, and there was no beautiful scenery of pear blossoms in full bloom.
Yi Xing Yan Shan turned around and asked Shen Qinglian, "Lianniang, this pear tree in your yard has only been afraid for many years." "Well, my mother said that my grandfather had this yard when he bought it." Shen Qinglian was scalding the tea cup and replied with a smile.
Zhao Jinling leisurely looked left and right back and forth in the house, and finally sat down, leaned lazily on the bed, sniffing the refreshing smell of sunshine between the futons, this house, Li Yunniang has to clean up every day, when the sun is good, she often takes the futon out to dry, so although she has not lived for some days, it is still neat and refreshing.
Shen Qinglian saw him leaning and lay down, if someone came in and looked, it was a little unpresentable, and he couldn't help but say to him, "You get up, if my mother comes in, I see you lying there, what do you look like." Zhao Jinling snorted quite smugly, "Your mother doesn't like me much now, why is she willing to talk about me." Glancing at her, "A person like your husband can be said to be loved by everyone, I don't know how many people envy you, you can cherish your blessings and serve your good master with your heart." Zhao Jinling boasted with a thick face.
Shen Qinglian rarely didn't mock him, the wonderful eyes like autumn water, Ying Yingran glanced at him, there was a hint of gratitude in his eyes, he flattered his mother, even his mother-in-law called out, and he missed his heart from the bottom of his heart, and couldn't help but be a little gentle with him, made tea with beautiful movements, and called softly, "Master, get up and taste the tea made by Lianniang, see how it tastes?" ”
Listening to such a delicate voice, Zhao Jinling only felt that the soft feathers had brushed his heart, and it was soft, numb and itchy. The narrow eyes fell on Shen Qinglian's face deeply.
Shen Qinglian was stared at by him stunned, a little embarrassed, and couldn't help but stand up and pull him, "Get up quickly!" Otherwise, if the tea is cold, it won't taste good. Zhao Jinling saw her slender arm dragging herself, with a wicked smile on her face, Shen Qinglian saw it, and said in her heart, it's not good, but it's too late, as soon as he exerts his strength, the whole person pounces on him.
Zhao Jinling wrapped her arms around her waist and let her struggle to blush, Shen Qinglian was ashamed and anxious, afraid that someone would come in and bump into her, and she was afraid that she would make a noise for her mother to hear, knowing that this guy would eat soft or not hard, so she had to beg in a soft tone, "Master, don't make trouble, this is in my mother's house, if people hear it, let people not live." ”
A pair of watery eyes looked at him wetly, like a deer innocently running into a trap. Zhao Jinling only felt that his heart softened like a puddle of spring water. A soft smile appeared on her handsome face, and her tone was filled with unconscious doting, "Ye is playing with Lianniang, where do you really know what to do, and if you want to do it, you will wait until you go home." "It's coming, don't forget to add a sentence, teasing Lianniang, seeing Lianniang's face flushed with pink, I can't help laughing.
Shen Qinglian was hugged by him, when he smiled, his chest trembled violently, as if even her heart was trembling, she was inexplicably flustered, and when he let go of his hand, she hurriedly got up, walked quickly to the coffee table, picked up the teacup, and drank it all, only then did she feel that she was beating quickly and slowly calmed down.
Zhao Jinling sat beside her, looked at her in surprise, and asked, "Are you thirsty like this?" "Well, I'm very thirsty." Shen Qinglian also felt that something was wrong with herself, but she didn't know how to say anything, so she just lowered her head and said perfunctorily.
During the meal, because Shen Qinglian didn't have a man in the family, and he didn't pay so much attention to the small family, he simply sat together, because he was afraid that Li Yunniang was not used to it, so he didn't let the maids wait, and let them eat by themselves. At the banquet, Li Yun greeted Zhao Jinling warmly and diligently, and also served the pear blossom wine that Shen Qinglian buried in the courtyard last year. Although the dishes on the wine table are not very exquisite, a few people still use them quite lightly and happily.
The banquet was dispersed, the maids cleaned up, and Zhao Jinling accompanied Li Yunniang to sit down and drink tea and chat, Li Yunniang originally wanted to inquire about the situation in his house, but she was afraid that Lianniang would report good news or bad news, so she said that she was obedient and coaxed her. But Zhao Jinling was coaxed into a smile after a few words, and he was very satisfied.
The house was talking happily, Qingshan came in close to Zhao Jinling's ear, whispered a few words, and saw Zhao Jinling's face change color slightly, sure enough, as soon as Qingshan went out, Zhao Jinling immediately got up to say goodbye to Li Yunniang, and whispered to Shen Qinglian, "Lianniang, the master is in a hurry, I have to leave immediately, you rest at home for one night, tomorrow Qingyun will escort you and your mother back to the house, you wait for the master to come back in the mansion." At the end he touched her hair, and strode away.
Shen Qinglian and Li Yunniang chased him off, and saw that he was already on a horse, galloping away. The two went back to the house and sent the maids out, and Li Yunniang sat down and asked, "Lianniang, why did Zhao Gongzi go so quickly, nothing will happen!" ”
Shen Qinglian also had some suspicions in her heart, but she didn't want her mother to worry, so she said, "It should be some business matters, sometimes there is something to deal with temporarily, he said that he has to go, this is a common thing." Li Yunniang was relieved, and asked about Lianniang's situation in the house with concern, Lianniang picked it out and said it to Li Yunniang, and mentioned that Li Yunniang would go to the house to live in the house for a few days tomorrow, Li Yunniang waved her hand again and again, and refused, "No, no, my mother will live in your house, what does it look like." ”
"Mother, Master Hou won't come back for a few days, you just go to accompany Lianniang, Lianniang has been missing her mother these days" Shen Qinglian hugged Li Yunniang's waist and pleaded coquettishly.
Li Yunniang hugged Shen Qinglian with love in her eyes, seeing her eyes full of hope, she looked at herself with a smile, and suddenly hesitated, she was reluctant to Lianniang, these days, she was even more worried about her day and night, she could get along with Lianniang like this day and night for a few days, she also looked forward to it, but is it appropriate to go by herself? She was in a dilemma, but she was really reluctant to refuse.
As soon as Shen Qinglian saw her mother's expression, she knew that she was shaken, so she continued to make persistent efforts, Li Yunniang couldn't resist her after all, and she also wanted to go and see it in her heart, if Lianniang was really doing well there, she would be relieved.
Not to mention that Li Yunniang's mother and daughter were gossiping in the house, Lin Chunsheng had taken the Spring Festival exam, and slept at home with his head covered for two days, and then he woke up, and he heard Chunqiao's deliberately lowered voice outside the door, "Mother, just now I heard Sister-in-law Zhang at the door say that Lianniang's family is a guest, and he is a nobleman dressed richly, and he also brought a lot of valuable gifts, followed by many maids, do you say this is true?" I haven't heard that Lianniang's family has such rich relatives! Chun Qiao's face was full of doubts.
Aunt Lin's face was gloomy, her brows were deeply locked, and she sighed for a long time and said, "I felt that something was wrong when I went to her house two days ago, Lianniang was not at home, and she actually bought a little maid at home." Ask your aunt, she is hesitant, why don't you say where Lianniang is" Speaking of this, she was alert, how could she tell Chunqiao what she was holding in her heart, she glanced at Chunqiao in a little panic.
I saw Chun Qiao suddenly said, "I said that I went to the embroidery shop a few days ago, and asked the shopkeeper, Lian Niang's family can send embroidery, she said that it has not been sent for several days, I thought that Lian Niang is rushing to catch up with a large embroidery job these days, and the family is too busy to take away from the matter of my brother's spring hair, is something wrong with Lian Niang?" Chunqiao asked worriedly.
Aunt Lin couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief when she saw that Chunqiao didn't think about it elsewhere, but she panicked aggrievedly, so she wanted to speak and stopped, and her complexion changed, and finally she made a nonsense reason, and sent her away, "Okay, maybe we think about it too much, their family may be busy with something, it's inconvenient to tell us, you don't want to be suspicious anywhere, your father is alone in the shop, you hurry up and go to the shop!" "Oh" Chunqiao replied, and had to withdraw and walk out the door.
Aunt Lin was in a mood at this time, she saw Shen Qinglian getting out of the car dressed in wealth and nobility, and at the same time in the car was a young and handsome noble man dressed luxuriously, the two were not only in the same car, but she looked carefully, Lianniang's head was combed in a woman's bun.
At that time, she was stunned, her heart was in a mess, she didn't know how to go home, she couldn't figure out when Lianniang got married, why didn't the neighborhood hear any rumors, and the relationship between the two families for so many years didn't say hello, but it seemed to deliberately hide from everyone, and who the man she married was
A series of questions swirled in her mind, and she was both angry and worried in her heart, her family Chunsheng was very affectionate to Lianniang, if she learned about it, how should it end, I was afraid that she couldn't bear it, she thought worriedly.
Originally, since Chunsheng came out of prison last time, she saw that Chunsheng really couldn't let go of Lianniang, she compromised and was willing to take Lianniang, but now that this is happening, what should I do, I'm afraid that I can hide it for a while, and I can't hide it for a lifetime, but the only way to do it now can only be delayed
She didn't dare to say it to Chunqiao, she was also afraid that this girl would be fast-talking, in case she leaked her mouth, so that Chunsheng would hear it, but she was afraid that thinking about it, she felt quite resentful of Shen Qinglian in her heart.
The door creaked open, interrupting Aunt Lin who was contemplating, and she raised her eyes to see where Chunsheng was standing with a pale face, looking at her with straight eyes and asking, "Mother, do you know something?" What happened to Sister Lian's family? He can't fool the past with a few words than Chunqiao, he can hear the deep meaning of his mother's words, this faint answer, he can't believe it, and he doesn't want to believe it.
When Aunt Lin saw him look like this, she suddenly sighed in her heart, afraid that what she said to Chunqiao just now would be heard by him. Facing his questioning, he had to pretend to be confused and said, "Why did you come together, just talk confused, your sister Lian is so good to stay at home, she must not have woken up, her brain is still chaotic, you should no longer lie down, if you are hungry, your mother will go to cook food for you immediately" Lin Chunsheng interrupted his mother's words, and asked with a solemn face, "Mother, don't hide it from me anymore, what is going on with me?" ”
Aunt Lin's eyes flickered, and she squeezed out a smile with an unnatural complexion and said, "Chunsheng, the matter of Lian Niang's family, my mother doesn't know very well, but there must be nothing wrong?" "Mother" Lin Chunsheng saw that his mother was still playing sloppy and fooling him, and couldn't help shouting impatiently, seeing that Aunt Lin tilted her head, she just didn't look at him.
He was in a hurry, stood up and rushed out of the door, Aunt Lin panicked, and rushed behind, and in a moment, he arrived at the gate of Shen Qinglian Courtyard, Lin Chunsheng stopped, his chest rose and fell violently, and after a while, he turned to Aunt Lin who was chasing after him and said, "Mother, you go home first!" I'll go see Lian Niang myself."
Aunt Lin looked at him with a sad face, tearful eyes, full of distress, choked and persuaded, "Child, there are some things that you can't force, you have to look away, you have to remember, you still have your father and sister" Lin Chunsheng was now in a state of confusion, his ears were buzzing, he couldn't hear anything, he only nodded numbly. Aunt Lin looked at him like this, and knew what to say at this time, but she was afraid that he wouldn't listen to him, so she wiped her tears and left worriedly.
Lin Chunsheng stood at the door in a daze for a long time, he couldn't believe that Shen Qinglian would marry another man, when he heard the conversation between her mother and Chunqiao, he was shocked, and he intuitively felt that this was not true, but her mother's expression told him again, I was afraid that it was all true, so I had to come over to verify it under impulse, but I really stood here, but I felt that my legs were like a thousand weights, and he couldn't move, he knew that he was afraid, and he was afraid that it would be true, so what should he do?
