Chapter 76: Persistence
Old Man Shen's meaning is also clear enough, let Shen Shixuan move his focus back to the Shen family, those outside are just set aside as practice, and he can't bother anymore, but for him, those things are very important, and he has his plans.
"You first follow your father to familiarize yourself with things in the commercial house, Dingyue Restaurant has not been taken care of by anyone, and when you are familiar with things in the commercial house, you will go to Dingyue." Seeing Shen Shixuan's concerns, Old Man Shen took a step back and said.
Shen Shixuan nodded, and Old Man Shen asked him to go out with the box, and after a while, Steward Jiang walked in and said to him, "Master, the Tian family's land in Sangtiana has been sold." ”
Old Man Shen, who had just sat down, suddenly stood up again, with a Ling Ran expression, "Who did you sell it to!" ”
"I don't know yet, Zhuangzi of Sangtiana sent someone to say that the Tian family's land there has been sold." Steward Jiang shook his head, and the news had just come back.
"That old stubborn!" Old Man Shen scolded, the surprise on his face was no less than the look on Steward Jiang's face when he heard the news, "This is a good thing that has been said a long time ago, no matter how he says it, he will change the hexagram." ”
"I'm afraid it's the death of my grandmother." Steward Jiang reminded on the side.
"When his daughter was in my Shen family, he didn't treat him badly, he didn't make enough trouble, he had to die of old age and not get along to be happy!" Old Man Shen didn't understand why the Tian family rebelled, because the Tian family died of illness and couldn't stand the blow, and the old man Shen could still understand that he withdrew those lists for a while, after all, the Tian family was the old man of the Tian family, and the son of the Tian family was such a daughter, and it hurt a lot from top to bottom. But it has been several months, and the matter about the land sale of Sangtian that was said earlier has also changed, and the Tian family doesn't even want to continue to do business.
"Go find out, who did you sell it to!" Old Man Shen instructed Steward Jiang to go down and inquire about this Sangtian matter, the land had been optimistic for a long time, and he thought that it would be the same to buy early and late, but he didn't expect that something would go wrong at this time...
The Shen family's big house.
Yan took his son back to the courtyard, sent his mother to bring her granddaughter over, and pulled her son into the house, "Shi Jin, the old man is going to call Shi Xuan to the business house this time, you have to pay more attention." "In Yan's eyes, the second room has always been not outstanding, so it has never been put in her eyes, and today when the old man said this, she began to pay attention to it.
"Shixuan is not young, I followed my father in the business house when I was twelve years old." Shen Shijin had a slightly calm face, and he didn't care a little about what he said, but what was revealed in his eyes didn't seem to be so indifferent.
"Your grandfather has never mentioned it like this, and now that your daughter-in-law is gone, you will have a baby, and Shixuan has also married at an age, is it possible that this eldest grandson still has to be in their room!" Yan naturally believes in her son's ability, and she is most concerned about her son's lifelong affairs.
"It's been less than half a year since she died, mother, if you do this, it will make people think that we forced her to death." Shen Shijin disagreed, now the relationship with the Tian family is on the verge of breaking, if he goes again immediately, this relationship will never be repaired, his wife has died, and he has no way of knowing what his wife and the Tian family said to make them do it suddenly.
"It's not that you will get married in half a year, you can get married again next year after the family affairs are decided, you are still young, you can't keep her and not marry, and she didn't leave a son, so our Shen family doesn't have to pass on the ancestry?" In Yan's opinion, what are you afraid of if she falls out, she picks her daughter-in-law, and there are many people who want to marry into the Shen family, not to mention that there is no grandson now, as long as the new daughter-in-law has a son left, she will immediately sit firmly in the position of the eldest and youngest grandmother.
"Mother knows in her heart, don't worry, my mother will find you the same as the Tian family, better than the Tian family, let your grandfather know that this Shen family will always depend on you and your father, the few in the second room, can't set off any storms!" Yan swore to comfort his son.
"Don't make a noise, the matter of the Tian family, my grandfather is already dissatisfied with me." Shen Shijin frowned and said, grandfather said that asking the second brother to help was the most direct measure to be dissatisfied with himself, "Wait for this matter to pass first." ”
"Mother knows, don't worry." Yan patted his son on the shoulder, saw his mother walking in with her granddaughter, and beckoned over to ask Shen Shijin to accompany the child more...
Chu family, Chu Yiyao counted the large stack of land deeds, and breathed a sigh of relief with satisfaction, the peacock and Bao Sheng on the side laughed, and the peacock brought the box and asked her to put the title deed and said, "Miss, you are such a full miser." ”
"If you're holding a box full of silver tickets, aren't you happy?" This is completely an unexpected surprise, Chu Yiyao made a coincidence, and took the opportunity to buy the land of this mulberry field when the Tian family and the Shen family fell out, Master Tian is also a person who says the same, I won't sell it if I don't sell it to you Shen Kuo, everyone else is still waiting, Chu Yiyao directly intervened and bought the land first.
"Miss, what are you going to do with so many fields?" The peacock carefully closed the box and locked the title deed into the cabinet, but the young lady took out all her savings to buy land, and asked the young grandmother to borrow some if it was not enough.
"It's useful, you don't need to mention this matter to others, and the nurse is not allowed to say it, just the two of you know." Chu Yiyao took the title deed of another small hill in his hand and admonished the two of them, "Don't say anything if someone asks." ”
Peacock and Baosheng nodded, Chu Yiyao took the title deed of the small hill and was about to go to the second uncle, Ping'er came over, saying that someone was looking for Miss at the door, and there was important news to tell her.
When Chu Yiyao arrived at the gate, a woman in gray clothes was standing outside, with a towel wrapped around her head and a basket in her arms. ”
"What news do you have to say?" Chu Yiyao later asked the peacock to go to the houses near the house where the second brother lived to say hello, and if there was any exception, she could come to the Chu family and tell her that she would give a certain reward.
"Early this morning, the people in the house didn't know why they quarreled, and the woman who was already crazy suddenly said that she was leaving, and everyone went outside the house, and the man in the house pulled her back again, and the two of them quarreled about what they couldn't support, and they couldn't live, and the woman pushed the man and said that he should go back to Chu's house." Chu Yiyao narrowed her eyes slightly and looked at the woman, "And then." ”
Later, the woman didn't know what to say to go back, so the man slapped her, and the two of them hugged each other. The woman told as best she could what she had seen in the morning, and then the two men were silent, and they could not hear what they said. ”
Chu Yiyao motioned to the peacock to give her five taels of silver, and the woman took the silver and opened her mouth to bite it, bowed to Chu Yiyao again and again with a smile, and left happily.
Chu Yiyao looked at the woman and listened to what she meant, it seems that the second brother took good care of the mandarin ducks, everyone has recovered their senses, and they can persuade the second brother to come back to the Chu family, but unfortunately her second brother is an infatuated but not a wreck, and it is impossible for him to return to the Chu family in this situation. Now it is Lang Qing's concubine, two people in such a harsh environment, can this mandarin duck still not abandon and accompany the second brother to endure hardships.
After standing at the door for a while, the carriage came, and Chu Yiyao got into the carriage and went to the shop to find the second master...
And in the dilapidated house near the small wharf, Chu Duanyuan went out to move the mandarin ducks left behind, and at this time she was looking for something that could look like it everywhere, but there was nothing in this unobstructed room, so she found a crockpot to hold some water, and carefully combed her hair.
After combing the scattered hair, she picked up the only hairpin, she coiled up most of her hair, leaving a strand on both sides in front of her, tidied up her clothes, and the mandarin duck tidied up the quilt on the straw pile, and saw that the weather outside was good, so she simply took the quilt to the outside shelf to dry, and was busy in the house again.
In the evening, Chu Duyuan came back, and when he entered the house, he was stunned, the straw pile was placed in the corner, the quilt on it was neatly laid, the broken window was covered with a board, and the place where the water was boiled on the other side was also cleaned up, and the room was filled with a sun-soaked aroma.
"You're back?" The mandarin duck, who was bending down and piling firewood, got up and saw Chu Duyuan standing at the door, smiled, walked up to him, reached out and patted the dust on his shoulder, took the bag wrapped in white cloth from his hand, took the steamed bun out of it, and poured out some rice in a jar next to the fire, washed it and poured it into the pot, put it on the fire and boiled it slowly.
"We'll be able to eat soon, you come and sit down first." After doing all this, the mandarin duck saw that he was still stunned, pulled him aside and sat down, and said softly.
"I'll go and scoop water for you to wash your face." The mandarin duck watched him sit down, and was about to turn around to get water, Chu Duyuan grabbed her, the mandarin duck looked back at him, Chu Duyuan raised his head, and looked at each other.
"What's wrong?" The mandarin duck reached out and touched his face and said with concern.
"Would you like to stay here with me forever?" Chu Duyuan naturally remembered the content of the quarrel with himself after the mandarin duck regained his senses in the morning, and he also did not forget the words she responded when he came back from the Thousand Buddha Temple to send a letter to Cao's house, but now it is only half a day's work, and the person in front of him seems to have changed.
"If it weren't for you, I'm afraid I would have starved to death on the streets." The mandarin duck shook his head slightly, sat down next to him, and slowly leaned on him, "I remember your care during this time, I have nothing to repay, I can only be by your side, don't you want to?" ”
Chu Duanyuan looked at her, the depth in her eyes made Mandarin Duck a little flustered, she was too anxious in the morning, and said too many things that shouldn't be said, she was afraid that she would not be able to save her place in his heart.
"I just feel useless to let you suffer so much with me." Chu Duyuan shook his head, stretched out his hand to hug her, and quietly looked at the smoking pot in the corner.
"Don't talk about yourself like that, you are also for me, Mandarin Duck has been in Chunmanlou for ten years, what kind of person has not been seen, it is rare to have a man like Duyuan who is so affectionate, don't talk about yourself like that." The mandarin duck reached out to cover his mouth, looked at him with burning eyes, and then leaned over against his chest and muttered, "The mandarin duck only wants to treat people sincerely." ”
Chu Duyuan's eyes softened a little, and the two of them hugged quietly for a while, until the pot was boiling and moving, Chu Duyuan let go of her and walked to the corner and poured the cooked porridge into the bowl, and took it to the only table, the two of them drank gruel and ate steamed buns, although it was simple but it was warm.
It was getting dark, Chu Duyuan stayed outside the house after washing, waiting for the mandarin duck in the house to take a bath, and called him before going in, the small room was filled with a hot and humid air, and the mandarin duck walked out from behind the bamboo mat in the most simple clothes, and took his hand in front of him and walked to the edge of the bed, asking him to sit down.
After Chu Duyuan sat down, the mandarin duck walked to the door and covered the door with a mat, returned to the bed, took off his shoes and put his hands on his shoulders, Chu Duyuan's body was shocked.
The corner of the mandarin duck's mouth behind him raised a smile, "Take it easy, you're tired for a day, I'll loosen your shoulders for you." She squeezed it gently, but Chu Duyuan's hands on her lap were clenched tightly and she couldn't let go for a moment.
It was all in her eyes, she saw the crimson on the side of his face, felt the tension of his stiff body, and gently kneaded his neck with both hands, gently sliding through the Adam's apple, and slowly descending.
The smile on the corner of her mouth became bigger and bigger, her body was close to his back, and her hands were about to reach his chest, suddenly, Chu Duyuan took her hand, and a flash of success flashed on the mandarin duck's face, waiting for him to turn over and press him down on the bed, but after a while, Chu Duyuan didn't move.
"Go to bed early, you're tired of the day." Chu Duan removed the throbbing in her eyes, let go of her hand, got up and went to the other side to get the quilt and spread it on the straw, without the intention of sleeping with her.
"You... Don't you dislike me and think I'm not clean. The mandarin duck looked at him sadly, he actually rejected her, he obviously had feelings, why was he indifferent.
"How could I dislike you, when I marry you, wouldn't it be better for us to be together again?" Chu Duyuan laid out the quilt for herself, squatted down in front of her, held her hand, and said softly, "I'm not good enough now, when I make enough money, let's go somewhere else to buy a small house to live in, now it's too wronged for you." ”
"I don't mind!" The mandarin duck blurted out, Chu Duyuan shook his head to stop her from continuing, pulled the quilt for her and let her lie down, covered the quilt for her, gently touched her hair, and looked at her with a smile, "Don't be afraid, we will be able to leave here soon, and when the time comes, you can settle there if you want, and I will accompany you." ”
The mandarin duck smiled far-fetchedly, Chu Duyuan blew out the oil lamp and went to the shop next to him to lie down, and soon fell asleep.
In the dark, the mandarin duck opened her eyes and looked at the dilapidated beams of the house, how she couldn't sleep, listening to the sound of even breathing from the side, Chu Duyuan's refusal and his words scratched her heart all the time, and followed him to leave Jinling to live a life of only enough food and clothing for her It was not what she wanted, she originally thought that she could conceive his child, so that he would always take him back to Chu's house, but he refused to ask her.
