Chapter 46: Distress in the Streets
Shen Congyun has returned to Beijing for some time, this northern expedition, he has made great contributions, the emperor personally inscribed the plaque in a lion dance drum by the Duke of De led people to hang the gate of the Dingguo Marquis's Mansion with their own hands. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 The sound of info firecrackers fell to the ground, the crowd of people who came to congratulate was endless, the Dingguo Marquis Mansion opened the door, held a banquet for three days, and after three days, closed the door, quietly, it was much more low-key than ever. Shen Congyun suddenly became an idle marquis, and when he didn't go to court, he basically stayed in the mansion and didn't see any guests.
Su Yichen did not forget the agreement made by his uncle before the expedition, and held the chess game for half a month, and when Shen Congyun was free, he was able to play a few games with him in a similar way. She was thoughtful, and showed a very high talent in the game skills, and it was difficult for Shen Ningxuan to win against her soon after, and she always raised her hand to beg for mercy. Shen Congyun had to sigh, the ancestors blessed, the Shen family has a daughter, and the family will be prosperous.
Shen Xiu's belly gradually revealed, Cao Shun is no longer a day worker, the couple set up a small stall on East Street, selling all kinds of sachets and aromatherapy materials, although it is a small business, but the advantage is that the embroidery is exquisite and pleasant, and the price is fair, but it is also a good business. The Cao family received the favor of the Dingguo Marquis Mansion because of Shen Xiu's relationship, and since then she has been extra different, for fear of making the God of Wealth unhappy.
Everything seems to be getting better, she has a new maid, but this time it was not her aunt's arrangement, she picked it up when she went to the street, a little girl who fainted on the street, she looked pitiful, and brought it back to the house for treatment, the little girl didn't know what she was, she couldn't remember where her home was, and she couldn't tell what her name was. Su Yichen saw that she really had nowhere to go, and there was a shortage of maids around her, so she simply asked her aunt to leave her in the house, and when she saw her round face and round eyes, she named her Aman.
Although Aman is young, he is diligent and quick in his work, and the servants in the house are all sighing to themselves. She said that Su Yichen was her life-saving benefactor, and she wanted to repay her life in this life, and she couldn't wait for her master to help feed her to her mouth when she ate, which made Su Yichen a little at a loss, and hurriedly scared her to send her out of the house if she was disobedient.
The Mid-Autumn Festival is approaching, the night breeze is like water, and the moon is full of stars.
Ah Man accompanied her to make sachets in the room, Shen Xiu's stall business was good, she couldn't even do embroidery with a big belly alone, when Su Yichen was free, she would work with Ah Man, and let her send it to Shen Xiu after doing more. However, the master and servant are very similar in this regard, the embroiderers are not good, at most they do a good job of tattooing two simple patterns, anyway, the fragrance is not worried about selling, and the workmanship covers the embroidery.
It's still early to finish the last sachet in my hand. She stretched, Aman pushed open the window, and sighed, "Miss, the moonlight is so beautiful tonight." ”
She poked her head out, and sure enough, the moonlight was bright and clear. At this time, everything is quiet, which is the most suitable for seeing things and thinking about people. She asked Aman, "Do you remember anything?" ”
Ah Man flattened his mouth and shook his head dejectedly.
A wisp of flute gradually sounded from the direction of the Moon Tower, and the sound was slow, as if it was a shout that penetrated the soul, scene by scene, one by one, pulling up the memory of yesterday. Su Yichen's heart was like a deer, how could this long-lost flute sound suddenly appear here again? It turned out that he hadn't forgotten, and neither had she.
On the second day, after breakfast, she instructed Ah Man to pack the sachets she had made in the past few days and prepare to send them to Shen Xiu. This trip is not far from the Dingguo Marquis's Mansion, and my uncle knows the relationship between her and Shen Xiu Suri, and with Ah Man by his side, he told them a few words, and let them go out with confidence.
The two went straight to East Street, and when they got there, Shen Xiu was really at the stall, helping the guests choose their favorite sachets. Seeing her coming, Shen Xiu was overjoyed, Cao Shun smiled on the side, and greeted, "Hello Second Miss." ”
Su Yichen touched Shen Xiuyuan's tummy and said distressedly: "Look at you, you have such a big belly, you should rest at home, how can you come out?" The business on the stall is handed over to Cao Shun. ”
Shen Xiu glared at Cao Shun: "He's a rough old man, how can he understand these delicate things." Let's go, I'll accompany the young lady back to chat, and let him see the stall today. ”
Dongdajie is located in the eastern district of Chao'an City, which is a dense area of princes and nobles, and it is also a place where wealthy merchants and hawkers must compete for business. The streets are bustling with people and cars every day. Su Yichen held Shen Xiu, the three of them talked and laughed, watched while walking, and walked back in the direction of Cao's house.
A hurried sound of horses' hooves sounded behind him, and the bustling street market was suddenly full of exclamations, and the crowd was chaotic, scrambling to push and dodge on both sides.
Su Yichen was unexpected, and was busy protecting Shen Xiu from being hit by the crowd. But the scene was too chaotic, everyone was just dodging the carriage, who would notice that there was a woman with a big belly in the middle? Shen Xiu groaned, and his bulky body had fallen to the ground. Su Yichen and Aman hurriedly helped her up, and asked worriedly, "Xiuniang, are you okay?" ”
Xiuniang shook her head: "Miss, don't worry, I'm fine." ”
Su Yichen turned around, the carriage had rushed to the back of her head in an instant, she didn't have time to react, she subconsciously reached out and pushed Shen Xiu and Aman out.
"Miss......" the two shouted.
A blue figure jumped down from the teahouse next to her, grabbed her waist and took a few steps back, then turned around and slapped his palm on the head of the galloping horse.
The horse was frightened, first raised its hooves, and then fell heavily to the ground, and its steps were vague, as if it had been seriously injured under that palm. The driver also sat unsteadily, holding on to the reins so that he would not fall off his horse. But the people in the carriage were obviously not so lucky, and they only heard a few clatters and grunts, and then a man in brocade clothes, about twenty-four or five years old, climbed down from the carriage in a rage, and scolded angrily: "Who is not long-sighted, who dares to stand in the way of your grandfather and me?" Do you know who your grandfather and I are? ”
The man in blue put Su Yichen down carefully, looked at the man in brocade, and looked calm.
"According to the law of my Great Zhou: in the downtown area or in a crowded place, you must not ride a horse or a sports car, and you must take the initiative to avoid pedestrians. You have ignored the law and almost injured the innocent, but you have not repented and still spoken wildly, do you think that power can be above the king's law? ”
The man in blue said what the people wanted, and the onlookers echoed it. Who is the man in brocade? He is Yang Zongqi, the son of the right minister of the Great Zhou Dynasty, who is famous in the capital for bullying men and women, and doing all kinds of evil, and when he saw that there were people who dared to ask for the crime, he couldn't help but be annoyed and angry: "Your grandfather and I are the king of Chao'an City, I think you are impatient!" Come on, call me! ”
Yang Zongqi gave an order, jumped out from behind him, drew his saber and slashed at the man in blue. Su Yichen was shocked and shouted, "Son, be careful!" ”
