Chapter Eighty-Nine: The Shen Family's Old Mansion

No. 9 in Wangmen Street!

At this moment, Shen Zhuru stood in this place, but what he saw was a courtyard with a closed gate and a big lock.

Standing at the door of the courtyard here, Shen Zhuru only felt a sense of familiarity coming to her face.

"Young lady, this is a courtyard where no one has lived for a long time, the gate is locked, do you need to ask the neighbors, the whereabouts of the owner of this house?" Yueyang couldn't help asking.

"No, go open the door. Try it out with this bunch of keys. Shen Zhuru took out the key from the box and handed it to Yueyang.

Yueyang didn't ask, took the key and tried it, and actually opened the big lock at the door and pushed open the courtyard door.

As the courtyard door opened, the first thing that caught your eye was a shadow wall standing in the courtyard, in which two large water tanks were placed, and water lilies were growing on them, which were waiting to be put in bud at the moment.

The row on the left side is all inverted seats, and after entering through the hanging flower gate, a stone path with an empty flat extends to the living room, and there are two other doors on the left and right sides leading to the inner house.

When Shen Zhuru stepped into the Hanging Flower Gate, everything in front of her coincided with the remaining fragments of memory, but she never thought that this would be the home of this body in the capital when she was young.

Familiar and unfamiliar environment, Shen Zhuru walked to a two-story small building, raised her eyes and looked at the closed door on the second floor, which used to be her room when she was a child, and the room opposite the small building, vaguely remembered that it was her only brother, Shen Yunge's room.

If it weren't for the accident when he was young, maybe his brother would have survived, how dare the people of the Hua family bully people like that.

"Young lady, this is ......" Yueyang wanted to speak again and again, wanting to know but not asking questions, and worried that the unauthorized investigation would make Shen Zhuru unhappy, so she could only ask like this.

"Nothing. Go back, go back to Qiufu. Shen Zhuru turned to leave.

Although she didn't know what Su Luoquan's purpose was to return the Shen family's mansion to her, Shen Zhuru knew that she had to accept this gift.

Even if it's left like that in the future.

Shen Zhuru didn't plan to explain, and Yueyang didn't want to ask, so she could only leave the house, re-fasten the big lock, and set off back to Qiu Mansion.

When they returned to Qiufu, Mu Fenghua and the others had not come back yet, so Shen Zhuru asked people to prepare a room to take a nap and wait slowly.

It was getting late, Mu Fenghua did not come back, but Qiu Shang sent someone to inform him that he was afraid that he would come back very late tonight, and let Shen Zhuru treat Qiu Mansion as his own home, as for Yao Mansion, she had already sent someone to inform her that she would live in Qiu Mansion tonight.

After eating dinner alone, I knew that it was so deserted, it was better not to come out, and it was better to accompany Qiao Yuelong in Yao Mansion than to be in a daze here.

In the first half of the month, Mu Fenghua returned with a smell of wine, and when he saw that Shen Zhuru had already fallen asleep, he did not disturb him, and after bathing, he lay down and fell asleep in the soft collapse not far from the house.

In the early morning of the next day, when Shen Zhuru opened her eyes, she looked at the empty bed, obviously there was no trace, and then looked at the room and there was no trace of Mu Fenghua.

Yueyang listened to the movement and entered the house, and as soon as she entered the room, she saw Shen Zhuru sitting on the bed and frowning.

"Young lady, the young master came back late last night, and when he saw that you were sleeping soundly, he didn't bother, and just slept in the soft collapse, and got up at dawn this morning and asked Qiu Gongzi to call him away, which should be in the living room."

"Oh, I see."

Shen Zhuru nodded and didn't say anything, letting Yueyang wait to get up.

Qiu Shang sent someone over to ask Shen Zhuru to have breakfast, and as soon as he arrived in the living room, he saw Li You very diligently giving Mu Fenghua cloth dishes, and called Brother Fenghua sweetly in his mouth, that intimate and enthusiastic attitude, how unpleasant it is.

"Sister Ru, you're here, you'll sit down and eat breakfast, otherwise it'll be cold." Li You hurriedly shouted when he saw Shen Zhuru coming.

"On a hot day, it's good to be cold, it's convenient to eat and not afraid of sweating." Shen Zhuru replied lightly, sitting in the vacant seat next to Mu Fenghua, not in the mood to laugh.

I had a dream all night last night, dreaming intermittently one by one, and when I woke up in the morning, I only felt that my head was not very comfortable, and I was really not in the mood to accompany Li You.

"Lady, your face is not very good, is there something uncomfortable?" Mu Fenghua reached out and touched Shen Zhuru's forehead, a little cold, "Why is this head so sick, Yueyang, don't give the young lady a pulse, see what's going on." How do you do it, can't you see that the master is uncomfortable? ”

"The slave knows her mistake and is willing to be punished. Please ask the young master to let the slave maid check the young lady's pulse first, and then the slave and maid will go to receive the punishment by themselves. Yueyang just knelt down and kowtowed on the spot, and directly admitted his mistake and accepted the punishment.

"I'm fine, I just didn't sleep well, there's no need to make such a fuss." Shen Zhuru didn't want to make trouble anymore, so she directly explained the reason.

"Anyway, you need to look at it and talk about it, if it's just because of lack of sleep, if there are other problems, it's better to find out and treat them as soon as possible." Mu Fenghua was unwilling to give up, and insisted on letting Yueyang take the pulse and hear the results.

In desperation, Shen Zhuru could only ask Yueyang to take the pulse, and it turned out that it was indeed just a symptom of physical weakness caused by lack of sleep, as long as she made up for sleep, it would be fine.

Mu Fenghua couldn't help but smile with relief when he got the result, Shen Zhuru couldn't help but roll his eyes, and directly opened his mouth to exempt Yueyang from punishment, Mu Fenghua naturally has no opinion on this, his wife is the biggest.

However, this toss made the stomach that didn't want to eat feel a little like eating, and finally drank a little half a bowl of gruel to cushion the stomach.

After breakfast, Shen Zhuru went back to the house, and Mu Fenghua followed, ignoring Li You's courtesy, and Li You was not easy to follow, so as not to make Mu Fenghua unhappy.

"Why are you here? Is it all done? ”

"Hmm. Nailed it. I'm very idle today, just in time to accompany the lady to sleep well. Mu Fenghua grinned, approached Shen Zhuru with a flattering look, and reached out to Shen Zhuru's waist, but was slapped off by her.

"Come less, I'm going to rest, you come to bother me, wake me up when it's time for lunch." Shen Zhuru said and went back to the guest room where she was temporarily resting, climbed into bed, but fell asleep after a while.

After Mu Fenghua saw Shen Zhuru asleep, he called Yueyang aside.

"Yueyang, what happened when I went to the county king's mansion yesterday, did the young lady ever see Su Luoquan?" Mu Fenghua asked.

"Back to the young master, the young lady has already seen the Marquis of Huaiyuan, because when she arrived at Xiaoluoyuan, the guards did not let her in, so the slave and maid did not know much about what happened, but it can be seen that the Marquis of Huaiyuan did take good care of the young lady, and when the young lady left, he also asked the close guard Cao Daxiong to send the key to the old mansion of the Shen family and the title deed, as the young master and the young master and the young master Qiu expected, these things were very simple and did not take much effort."

"What else?"

"And the young lady went back to the courtyard after getting something, and after looking at it a little, she told the slave and maid to lock the door again, and went directly back to Qiufu and did not go anywhere. Even if the young master couldn't return, he just nodded, and didn't show any displeasure, but the slave knew that the young lady had something on her mind at that time, and what it was, the slave didn't dare to speculate. ”

"Well, you go down." Mu Fenghua nodded, no longer speaking, for him, Yueyang, who should know, had already said that he had received enough information to know why Shen Zhuru was like this today.

I must have had a nightmare last night.

Suddenly, Mu Fenghua regretted going to sleep softly, leaving her alone to face the past that I am afraid has been forgotten.

Mu Fenghua returned to the house, held Shen Zhuru's hand, and stayed by the bedside to watch her sleep.

When Shen Zhuru woke up, the moment he opened his eyes, what he saw was Mu Fenghua dozing off with one hand supporting his chin, and his left hand held tightly in the palm of Mu Fenghua's palm.

"Wake up, are you feeling better?" Mu Fenghua woke up, looked at Shen Zhuru and smiled gently, fascinated people and didn't pay for their lives.

"What time is it?"

"It's just over halfway through, and it's almost time for lunch, after eating here, how about going back to Yao Mansion together?"

"You've got your business in order?"

"Not really, but it's not my business for the time being. And I don't think you like to stay here, so going back to Yao's house might make you feel better. ”

"It's okay, it's not that I don't like it. If you still have something to take care of, it's okay to stay here for a few days. Lest you find an excuse to run this way twice in three days, and it will be very tiring to do one thing repeatedly. ”

"Thank you for your thoughtfulness and concern, it really doesn't matter, I take the lady as the standard for everything, whatever the lady wants to do, I have to do it for you, not reluctant at all." Mu Fenghua blinked his eyes, he was cute, his face was thicker than the city wall, and he couldn't afford to be angry.

"This is what you said, don't say that I delayed your affairs and let you leave the Autumn Mansion at that time." Shen Zhuru couldn't help laughing.

"Of course I won't blame the lady, even if I make a thousand mistakes in the future, it's my fault, and the lady will always be right."

"Yo, you're quite conscious." Shen Zhuru raised her eyebrows and said with a smile.

"That's a must."

"Huh? Leave so soon, why not a few more days, there are more people in my room here, but it is much more comfortable than Yaofu, why rush to go back to see other people's faces, stay for ten days and a half a month longer, I am worried that the old lady will say, I will mention this, there will be no problem. ”

After lunch, Mu Fenghua directly said that he was leaving, Qiu Shang was very surprised, he didn't expect to leave in such a hurry.

"Anyway, it's all in the capital, it's very convenient to find someone, where to live is not to live, it's not bad. If you have something to do, come back to me, anyway, no one will give you face, so it's not a little bit of time. ”

"Well, that's all I have to say." Qiu Shang saw that the matter had come to this point, and he didn't say anything more.

But Qiu Shang didn't say anything, but it didn't mean that Li You had nothing to say.

"Brother Fenghua, you and Sister Ru are going back to Yao's house, why don't I also visit the old lady?"

Li You's request was very sudden, Shen Zhuru didn't expect her to take the initiative to make such a request, it was too sudden.

Mu Fenghua didn't rush to answer, but just looked at Shen Zhuru.

"Look at what I'm doing, Yao's family is not my family, there are guests to visit, I don't seem to be qualified to refuse, look at me useless." Shen Zhuru responded, how unhappy this tone sounded.

"You'er, this is still not necessary. After all, it's just borrowing Yao's house now, and it's not appropriate to visit rashly, so forget it. ”

"Since Brother Fenghua has said so, then I can't say more. But if Brother Fenghua has free time, remember to come and see me often. ”

"yes, it will."

Li You finally failed to follow her back to Yao's Mansion, and Shen Zhuru knew that this was because Mu Fenghua was afraid of her feelings, so she didn't agree.

Shen Zhuru is quite satisfied with this result.

Regardless of whether this Li You is Qiu Shang's cousin or not, Shen Zhuru knows very well that if Li You is allowed to follow him to Yao Mansion and let the old lady meet, although it is impossible to be like her mother-in-law Mu Liu Xinyue, she will not have another idea when she sees Li You's courteous behavior towards Mu Fenghua.

After returning to Yao's mansion, I went to ask the old lady to say goodbye, and I was surprised to see that Jiang Ruoyu did not go out, but stayed by the old lady's side obediently, did not pester Yao Shu, and did not even see a figure.

"Cousin-in-law, Mr. Qiu's family must be very big and magnificent, how can you tell me?" Jiang Ruoyu affectionately held Shen Zhuru's arm and smiled sweetly.

"If Cousin Ruoyu wants to know, next time you can follow her, won't you be able to see it clearly? If you really want me to say something, you also know that a rough person like me really can't find good words to describe it, and it's better to see is believing. Shen Zhuru replied with a smile.

"Really? That cousin needs to help. Although I have heard of Qiu Gongzi's house for a long time, I have never had a chance to visit it. My grandmother said that Qiu Gongzi must not enter, otherwise it will make Qiu Gongzi unhappy, and it will not be good. ”

"Then I'll try, I can't guarantee whether it will be successful, after all, Qiu Gongzi also entertained me because of Xianggong, otherwise I am afraid that I will not even be able to enter the door, let alone include you in the invitation list."

"No matter what, thank you cousin-in-law for your help, I won't blame my cousin-in-law for it."

"That's good."

Neither of them talked too much, they talked about the topic, and they behaved very harmoniously.

Seeing that the relationship between the two was so harmonious, the old lady couldn't help but smile and nodded.

At least Jiang Ruoyu's performance has matured a lot, and it is no longer like when the Mu family in Qiyang County showed his likes and dislikes on his face, and he didn't know how to restrain at all.

She was worried that her temperament would harm her, but now it seems that she is worried.

After talking to Jiang Ruoyuxu and the snake, Mu Jinyang hurriedly entered the house, and after giving the old lady a salute, he said: "Old lady, the old man asked me to come back and ask you how much silver you have here." ”

"Silver?" The old lady frowned slightly, "Didn't he just take five thousand taels yesterday?" Why do you want more money here? ”

"The master didn't explain the reason, but just asked me to come and ask, if you don't have enough here, I'm afraid you need to think of another idea." Mu Jinyang responded, but it sounded a little mysterious and a little worrying anyway. (To be continued.) )
