CHAPTER XLVI
When Shen Qinrou returned to the courtyard, the yard had been cleaned up by a few maids, the ground was clean, the antique vases in the room were wiped to see people, and the old red lacquer dwarf in a corner also began to reflect, she had to smile and praise a few words, "You guys are really hardworking, and you are really energetic to clean up the house." ”
Xi'er Magpie's nerves eased slightly with Shen Qinrou's smile, and seeing the third young lady with a tense face all day long, it frightened them. The maid next to her didn't know what happened to Shen Qinya and Shen Qinrou in the Wen Mansion, but yesterday Shen Qinrou took Shen Qinya back to her yard to comb up, and a few of their maids knew about it, they were afraid that their young lady would not be able to think of anything to worry about, but they couldn't help, so they could only scrub and wash.
Not long after the thrush arrived at the Blowing Snow Courtyard, he was still a little restrained, and he looked at Shen Qinrou's gaze with caution.
Shen Qinrou smiled and asked Xi'er Magpie to go out with the thrush to familiarize herself with the yard, and spread the people away.
Liu Lu glanced towards the door, looked at Shen Qinrou and asked, "What's the matter with the third young lady?" ”
For Liu Lu, Shen Qinrou really treats her as a confidant and big girl in cultivation, so Shen Qinrou doesn't hide it, and directly spreads out the painting sent by Mu Fang to Liu Lu.
"This is not morning dew." Liu Lu blurted out in surprise, and his mind turned, "Could it be?" ”
Shen Qinrou nodded at her, confirming what Liu Lu was thinking.
Liu Lu had a solemn look on his face, and said cautiously: "Third Miss, since you have already found the person who framed the eldest lady, why don't you tell the old lady and let the old lady and the eldest lady make the decision with you." ”
Shen Qinrou slowly rolled up the picture scroll and smiled, "Grandmother is in charge?" She shook her head, "What can she do?" Let people drag Shen Qinxin to play the board? Punishment kneeling? Copying scriptures? Shen Qinrou turned around and put the painting back into the celadon jar, rubbed the smooth wall of the jar and said: "With my father's protection, the old lady can do just a few tricks, beat her, scold her, and the matter will be revealed." No matter how poor the old lady is, she doesn't dare to make people make trouble in the city, which ruins the reputation of the sisters of Yifu. ”
Liu Lu asked Shen Qinrou angrily, "Is it so cheap for us?" ”
"Of course, it can't be." Shen Qinrou snorted and said, "Second sister is a smart and cunning person, you can condemn her if you hand over the painting?" I don't think so. Don't be bitten back by her and say we're framing her. ”
"There is a painting, the maid of the Wen Mansion also recognizes Chaolu, the evidence of the crime is conclusive, what else is there to deny?"
Shen Qinrou raised her eyebrows, "You also know that it was Chaolu, if Chaolu bit down and it was her alone, or shouted that she happened to pass by, what can you do?" also pulled Huang Jue to come to the mansion to confront her? She glanced at Liu Lu, who lowered her head with a distressed expression, "You can't spare them lightly." ”
Shen Qinrou leaned back on the circle chair, looking like Zhizhu was holding it, "So, we can't hand the painting to our grandmother, and if we hand it over, we won't be poured a basin of sewage if we can't redress our grievances, we are not like the second sister who has a father to protect us, and a basin of sewage is enough to drown us." ”
Shen Qinrou's calm look calmed Liu Lu's mind, "I listen to the third lady every time." ”
"Hmm." Shen Qin responded softly, her worries in the middle of the night overdrew her energy, and in the morning, she was strong and energetic with Mrs. Shen, Shen Qin's heart was whirling, and now she was extremely tired, so she fell asleep on the circle chair.
Liu Lu didn't want to disturb her, so she found a thin blanket to cover her, and retreated lightly.
In the afternoon, Mrs. Wen came to Shen Mansion to make amends for Shen Qinya's "fall" and injury in Wen Mansion. Mrs. Shen's good tea and fruit hospitality, she was too late to cling to the Wen family at this time, how could she blame Mrs. Wen, and said straight, looking to move more between the two mansions, distant relatives are not as good as close neighbors Yunyun, when I heard that Mrs. Wen's family also had a daughter, she came to the energy, and tried her best to praise Wen Yu, who was praised in the sky and not in the ground, and finally said how the two grandsons of Yuhang's hometown were outstanding, and Wen Yu was the same age
Mrs. Wen advanced and retreated in a certain way, full of courtesy, and did not break what Mrs. Shen thought in her heart, she echoed when she should agree, and never said a word when she shouldn't speak.
Shen Congwen returned home in the evening and happened to meet Mrs. Wen and her party, only then did he know that Shen Qinya was injured in Wen's mansion, he frowned immediately, and ordered the chief to follow Li An to inquire what happened, Shen Qinya is his daughter anyway, his daughter was injured in an accident elsewhere and no one supported him, although he loved Shen Qin's heart, but Shen Qinya was his first daughter under his knee after all, and there was Jiang Shi from the middle of the circle back then, he still had another affection for this daughter, and he didn't feel that his heart was stuffy.
Li An, who was ordered to find out the news, is always difficult to run to the inner house as a man, and Mrs. Shen has given a gag order, which maid dares to tell him the inside story without dying? So, he didn't hear any useful news in the inner house. I can't stand that he is a lively person, so if he can't go outside the house, he directly asked the porter, and happened to find the mother-in-law who opened the door for Shen Qinrou's sisters. It was too late for the mother-in-law to stammer Li An, so she immediately told Li An about the 1510 she knew, pouring beans. Li An told her not to talk too much, and gave her a corner of silver. When the mother-in-law got the silver, she was naturally grateful.
Li An deeply felt that there was an inside story, but these things belonged to the inner house, and they were the family affairs of the Shen family, and he was still not suitable for a foreign man to get involved too deeply, even if he was deeply favored by Shen Congwen. immediately decided to only tell Shen Congwen what the mother-in-law said, and the part of himself that he thought was smartly left in his stomach.
Shen Congwen listened to Li An's reply, frowned, and wanted to ask Mrs. Shen about it, but when she raised her foot, she took her foot back again, and ordered the maid in the room to wait for the bath and change clothes first.
Shen Qinrou begged to see Shen Congwen with the surprised eyes of all the maids and mothers-in-law in the Ink House, and she fully understood the ghost-like eyes of those mothers-in-law in the courtyard. To be honest, she wouldn't want to come here if she could, without him, there was no place for her.
The maid held a piece of muslin cloth and rubbed Shen Congwen's long blue hair.
Shen Qinrou just held a picture scroll and sat quietly on the pear wood pestle opposite him.
After a long time, Shen Congwen waved at the maid, looked at Shen Qinrou, and pointed to the Bingxiu cup on the wenge wood, "Drink tea." ”
The curling mist rose, drenching the scene in front of her, Shen Qinrou held the scroll with both hands, and didn't have free hands to serve tea, "Thank you, father, my daughter is not thirsty." She just refused.
Shen Congwen was unexpectedly lenient, he put down the cup and nodded gently, "If you are not thirsty, forget it." Pointing to the scroll on his hand, he asked, "But Mr. Su assigned the homework." ”
Shen Qinrou shook her head and presented the scroll with both hands, "Something happened to the eldest sister in the Wen Mansion yesterday, Miss Wen is my friend, this is the scroll she sent." She didn't clearly point out what was going on, and she sketched it out in a few words.
As soon as Shen Congwen heard this, his brows immediately wrinkled into a shallow Sichuan character, his slender white fingers tapped on the table, and his gaze at Shen Qinrou had a little more meaning, "Are you here to seek justice for your eldest sister?" ”
Shen Qinrou raised her eyes to meet him and smiled, "Justice is in the hearts of the people." ”
Shen Congwen paused, stretched out his hand to take the scroll, and slowly unfolded it, and his eyebrows were already deep, "I know, you go back first." ”
Serve tea to guests.
Shen Qinrou got up and saluted respectfully, "Father, my daughter will retire first." ”
Shen Congwen fell into deep thought, and he didn't know if he heard it or not, Shen Qinrou withdrew from the room slowly, looked at the plaque outside the door and wrote the three words Moju and slowly exhaled.
