Chapter 10 The Noble Son
"......" Mei Caiyu was silent.
Shen Yueran was gloomy.
Cai Yu didn't say it, she also understood. Although the Mei family only said that this time they went to Beijing for Mei Cailian's family affairs, but this time, eighty percent will not return to the northwest. A craftsman like Mei Changsheng can survive wherever he goes. When I came from the southwest to the northwest, if it weren't for the missing silver taels, I might have left Wenchi long ago. This time, the family rushed to the rich land of the capital, and there was no reason to come back. After all, the capital is prosperous and densely populated, and the Mei family's shortbread may sell better there.
Separation is inevitable, the two of them are relatively weeping, recalling some of the past, Mei Caiyu said it was not early, raised his feet and said goodbye.
Sending out the threshold, Mei Caiyu hesitated for a moment and pointed to the back alley of the Shen family.
Shen Yueran understood, took the door, and the two came to no one's place.
"Yueran, I can only ask you for this matter, except for you, I have no one to rely on." Mei Caiyu lowered her voice.
"What?" Shen Yueran couldn't help but stretch up.
Mei Caiyu is not a person who makes a fuss, and it must be unusual for her to be so careful.
Mei Caiyu suddenly became frightened.
She twisted the corners of her clothes, blushed, and said, "In previous years, every tenth day of August, a noble son from other places came to Mei's house to buy cakes...... I know him, he ...... Oh, this time, this time, the sea of people is vast, and if you want to meet again, how easy is it to talk about it? But if you don't leave, in case you get separated from your father from now on...... I thought about it and decided to leave a handwriting and write down where I went...... Even if you can't see it, you should just have a dream, and you have no regrets. ”
So that's it!
Shen Yueran burst out laughing.
Although Mei Caiyu said a paragraph in fragments, she still understood it.
A man is affectionate, a concubine is intentional, only a layer of tissue paper is missing, but one party has to travel far away, which cannot but be said to be a pity.
If you can help your good sister achieve a marriage, why not help?
She said, "I'll just say, I must have moved my heart, which son did you fall in love with, and you still don't admit it, hehe, this is a move, what do you want me to do for you?" ”
Mei Caiyu looked at her with disgust, and took out a sachet and a piece of paper from her arms.
"I want you to give him these two things."
Shen Yueran took the sachet and letterhead, and felt a sigh in her heart.
Mei Caiyu has a clever temperament and is thoughtful, but she is the only female celebrity, and she really doesn't dare to compliment.
The two mandarin ducks were embroidered into two wild ducks, with a strange shape.
She looked embarrassed, "But, I've never seen that noble son, how can I help you?" ”
"That's easy to do." Mei Caiyu was ready to answer, "That noble son is easy to recognize. First, he must have come around midnight on the tenth day of the first month, and second, he must have ridden a white horse. On that day, if you see a man dressed like this near the bakery, and ask him if he plans to buy twenty bean paste cakes from the Mei family, and if he says yes, just leave it to him. ”
"This-" Shen Yueran thought for a moment, "What physical characteristics does he have, I'm afraid I'll admit it wrong." ”
"No, it won't." Mei Caiyu was full of confidence, "You will never admit your mistake, he has the words 'noble son' written on his face." ”
Shen Yueran had no choice but to put away the sachet and letterhead.
The two walked out of the alley, and Mei Caiyu turned to leave.
Shen Yueran looked at Mei Caiyu's back in a daze for a while, lowered her eyes, and returned to the Shen family.
Life gathers scattered clouds, looking back on next year.
Why bother with the front.
Watching the galaxy for a day.
She, the person who came through the time, should she get by? No nostalgia for anyone, anything?
She sighed softly and pushed the door open.
- Hey, no, I brought it to the door just now, why is it hiding it now?
The mind turns, curses secretly, eats and eavesdrops, boring!
"The three 'old girls' in Wenchi have left at once, what should I do if you are the only one?" Wu Zhaorong grabbed a handful of melon seeds, leaned on the threshold of the east room, raised his eyebrows and smiled.
Shen Yueran smiled, yin and yang weird, "Eat your sister-in-law, drink your sister-in-law's, and use your sister-in-law's." ”
Wu Zhaorong was so angry that he threw the melon seeds out and shook his hand back to the house.
******
The Mei family said that they would leave, and the valuable belongings were sold, and those that could not be taken away were left. Mei's cake shop, Mei's house, even the lock has not fallen, it can be seen that Mei Changsheng does not plan to return to the northwest.
As soon as the Mei family's father and daughter left, something happened to the Shen family.
On the fourth day of the eighth month, Shen Minggong climbed up to the top of the city and cleaned the cornices, but unexpectedly a gust of wind hit, his feet slipped and he fell to the ground.
When Shen Rihui carried Shen Minggong back to Shen's house, Shen Minggong had lost half his life.
The breath is like a gossamer, and the heartbeat is weak.
Shen Rihui turned pale with fright, Wu Zhaorong screamed with fright, and Shen was so frightened that he cried bitterly.
Shen Yueran invited Lang Zhong, acupuncture, acupuncture, moxa, moxa, massage, and tossing in the middle of the night, which finally made Shen Minggong open his eyes.
"Shen Jiagong suffered a heavy injury to his waist, and it is really a blessing in misfortune to be able to pick up a life this time. However, he is very old and has always had a bedding on his body, so his recovery is extremely slow, three or five years is considered fast, and even if he recovers, he is no longer suitable for heavy work. I have done my best, and you will take care of the rest, so please be blessed. ”
Lang Zhong explained, said goodbye and left.
After Lang Zhong left, everyone waited for Shen Minggong to sleep.
Shen Rihui had just blown out the oil lamp, and Wu Zhaorong pulled Shen Yueran to the courtyard.
"You-"
Wu Zhaorong gritted his teeth and pointed at Shen Yueran.
"I won't marry someone." Before she could say the second word, Shen Yueran said coldly.
It is obvious that as soon as Shen Minggong is injured, the biggest problem facing the Shen family is silver, and Wu Zhaorong will certainly not let go of such an opportunity to drive her out of the Shen family and get a dowry.
Wu Zhaorong saw that she not only pierced her heart with a word, but also refused without hesitation, annoyed and angry, and grabbed Shen Rihui's arm, "She-"
"No need to talk nonsense, I'll think about the silver." Shen Yueran bit her lower lip.
Even if she once hated human nature and swore a heavy oath, Shen Minggong's injury was always inseparable from her. There was no way for her to turn a blind eye, let alone to be indifferent.
She doesn't want to be hurt again in this life, and she doesn't want others to be hurt because of herself.
Wu Zhaorong's eyes widened, unable to believe his ears.
What the?
What did the lazy girl say?
"You-"
"Okay, I'm going out tomorrow, you and my brother take care of my father at home, and in a month, I'll get back a hundred taels of silver." After Shen Yueran finished speaking, she turned around and went back to the house, leaving the stunned Shen and Wu behind.
Shen Yueran dared to say this, she knew it in her heart.
As soon as the Mei family left, Wenchi was left with one less business to sell shortbread.
Meijia shortbread is so unpalatable, and it is in short supply all day long, which shows that the people of Wenchi have this demand, and there are few similar things.
In addition, the Mid-Autumn Festival is approaching, and the people have the custom of begging for blessings under the moon, and the cake shop is reopened, which is in response to the occasion.
