Chapter 1: The Return

The courtyard where Aunt Da Zhou lived was the northernmost and most remote courtyard in the entire Shen Mansion.

It is called Chunlan Temple.

Strangely, this yard was chosen by herself.

I heard that when Mrs. Shen was at the beginning, Second Master Shen allowed her to choose by herself, and the old lady even revealed that even if she wanted to choose the courtyard in the southeast, she would follow her, but she didn't expect that she chose the most secluded place in the mansion.

The maid guarding the courtyard did not know where to go, and the gate of the courtyard was hidden.

As soon as I entered the courtyard gate, I saw thin snow all over the ground, and a few dead branches fell to the ground, so desolate.

Shen Qinya held Dayu in one hand, and walked in front with a snow-white Boss cat in her arms, and couldn't help frowning, "I like a barren yard, it's a yard where my aunt lives, how can I look like this." ”

Shen Qinya didn't avenge Aunt Da Zhou's grievances, but simply said it bluntly.

Shen Qinrou smiled slightly and said, "Sister, I don't know what Aunt Da Zhou meant. ”

Shen Qinya's steps paused, and her face was solemn, "You're right." ”

Chunlan Courtyard is secluded and small, just a two-in, two-out courtyard.

The movement of Shen Qinrou and his party was not big, but it still alarmed the people in the house.

Soon, two maids wearing long coats in green clothes walked out of the closed door, and when they saw the comer, they were blessed in surprise, "Hello eldest lady, good third lady." ”

Shen Qinya touched the cat in her arms and shrugged twice.

Mother Qin stood up from behind her and said with a smile: "The eldest lady and the third lady are here to visit the patient, let's go in and say goodbye." ”

The two maids were only respectful, one was busy going in to pass the word, and the other was guarding the door every step of the way, looking at everyone with a pair of eyes, pursing their lips and smiling, and did not invite them in.

After a while, the maid who came in to report the news came out, she smiled and walked to the front and bent her knees and said, "Auntie, please let the two young ladies in." ”

Shen Qinya walked in front with her head bowed, and Shen Qinrou followed behind her silently.

There were several people behind them, and two of their mothers were taken care of by Mrs. Shen who was not worried about Shen Qinya, so she deliberately pointed over to take care of her.

Although the two mothers stood at the end, they always held their heads up, invisibly more arrogant than others, but they were not out of line.

Old door frames, vermilion lacquered tables, slightly notched plum bottles.

Everyone was shocked by what was inside the house.

I'm afraid it's not much better than the next room.

Seeing this, the maid who led the way in front explained with a smile: "My aunt is thrifty, saying that those new things are not as easy to use as the old ones, although we have brought back new furniture objects, my aunt did not let them be used, only let them be put in the warehouse, but when they are usually sympathetic, they let us get good." ”

The few people in the house who handle the management of general affairs are not stingy and will deduct things, the Shen family is not short of silver, and they have never saved money on food and clothing, and of course there will be no shortage of Chunlan Courtyard, and the maid can explain it when she says so.

Since Aunt Da Zhou volunteered herself, there is nothing else to say.

It's just that Aunt Da Zhou's thrifty is too exaggerated.

The maid said, leading the person in.

After everyone glanced at the room, they followed her as usual, but the Boss cat in Shen Qinya's arms was no longer in her arms for some time.

The room was long, and the further you went, the more it became, and halfway through, a gauze lamp was already used for lighting.

It doesn't look like a human house.

The thought crossed their minds.

The maid was accustomed to it, and led everyone in.

When they arrived at Shen Qinfu's residence, Shen Qinya and Shen Qinrou entered the house first, and the people behind them, except for Qin's mother, An Ju, and Peach, everyone else stopped.

As soon as I entered the house, the tip of my nose was filled with a strong sandalwood scent, which was very similar to the smell on Mrs. Shen's body.

Shen Qinfu's room was no different from their sisters', nothing out of the ordinary.

A green silk tent covered the mahogany shelf bed tightly, blocking everyone's view and making it difficult to see the people on the side.

Aunt Da Zhou sat on the Luohan bed, with a kind face, seeing them coming, she stood up and smiled, bending her knees slightly, "Miss, Miss Three is really a rare guest, come and sit." ”

"Bottle, look at the tea." Aunt Da Zhou stretched out her hand to invite the two sisters to sit on the Luohan chair.

"Auntie is polite." Shen Qinya and Shen Qinrou returned the salute, sat on the Luohan bed, looked at the shelf, and asked, "Is the fifth sister okay?" ”

Aunt Da Zhou shook her head lightly, "You have to worry about it, Fu'er is fine, she just drank the medicine and fell asleep." ”

Shen Qinrou lowered her eyes and swept into the room, but she couldn't see the medicine bowl, and she couldn't smell the slightest hint of medicine.

The patient is asleep, they are here to visit the patient, it is not good to disturb the patient's rest, although Aunt Da Zhou did not rush people, but she faintly has that meaning.

Shen Qinya pursed her lips and said, "That's really unfortunate." ”

Aunt Da Zhou smiled and didn't answer her words.

"My aunt Buddha is pious, and she prayed for her five sisters in front of the Bodhisattva, and the Bodhisattva has mercy, and the five sisters' illness will be like a thread, and it won't take long to be cured." Shen Qinrou glanced at the bed, then looked at Aunt Da Zhou and asked with a smile, "Auntie, what I said is right." ”

Aunt Da Zhou was slightly shocked, she didn't expect Shen Qinrou to say such a thing, and nodded after a while, "My Buddha is merciful." ”

As soon as she finished speaking, Shen Qinrou asked: "I heard that there is a Bodhisattva in the Auntie's courtyard, I don't know if you can let us see it, and I also begged for Aunt Zhao in front of the Bodhisattva. ”

Aunt Da Zhou opened the lid of the tea, and the tea was steamy, making it difficult to see the expression on her face.

"What's wrong? Auntie is inconvenient? Shen Qinrou asked.

Aunt Da Zhou gently stroked the tea lid, the creaking sound was harsh, the listener was very uncomfortable, her face was still very calm, but the calm was not the beginning, more like the calm before the storm.

"Third Miss really wants to go and see?" Aunt Da Zhou took a sip of tea and put down the blue and white tea cup and asked slowly.

Shen Qinrou smiled and nodded: "I'm just curious, I don't know if my aunt can make it convenient."

"The third lady laughed, what is convenient or inconvenient for me." Aunt Da Zhou didn't refuse, she muttered slightly: "The third lady is so hearted, let's fast and take a bath and come back, the Bodhisattva feels your sincerity, maybe Aunt Zhao will be fine in a few days." ”

"Speaking of which, I envy her very much, having such two caring, intelligent and capable daughters." Aunt Da Zhou's face was calm, and she blurted out her words before she covered her mouth and said, "I lost my words, we are all concubines, how can Miss be our daughter." ”

Aunt Da Zhou has always been an indisputable character, even her tongue is indisputable, and she usually speaks softly to the maid, and has never lost her temper.

Shen Qinrou remembered that when Aunt Tong was the most favored, everyone avoided her, and once she didn't know why Aunt Da Zhou made her unhappy, but Aunt Tong couldn't raise her head when she scolded her, but she let Aunt Tong ridicule and ridicule, and didn't refute half a word.

Today, it is rare for them to be articulate, and let people know that she is also eloquent.

This is not proof, Aunt Da Zhou is angry, and she is extremely angry.

Shen Qinya, who was sitting on the side, suddenly put the teacup in her hand under the heavy stack, "Auntie's rules are also a little bigger." ”

"You're just a concubine after all." She lectured.

The more Aunt Da Zhou hides and hides it from people, the more people feel that there is something in it.

Shen Qinya's temper came up, and she felt that she had to see it.
