Chapter 12: Kneel, so cold and hungry
The ancestral hall of the Mu family is relatively remote from the place where they live, built on a small hill, that is, large trees surround the perimeter of the ancestral hall, and there is a flat grassland facing outward, which looks slightly desolate.
Shen Zhuru was taken to the ancestral hall and knelt on the futon, the tip of her nose lingered with the smell of incense, so quiet that the sound of breathing was clearly discerning.
The door was closed after Shen Zhuru stepped into the ancestral hall, although the sky was not completely dark at this moment, it was already dusk, and the temperature in this ancestral hall was cooler than outside, and it was a smuggling feeling before he just came in.
Yicui sent Shen Zhuru here and went back to her life, but before leaving, she locked the door of the room, except for the air window above the door, the window was also locked and not opened often.
Shen Zhuru knelt on the futon for a while, saw that there was no one guarding the door to supervise, simply did not kneel, sat on the futon, and began to look at the ancestors of the Mu family in the ancestral hall of the Mu family, and unexpectedly found that the tablets of the ancestors of the Mu family are large and small, and the common tablets are big and small for men and women.
Among the women, there are quite a few who can leave their own names, at most they are dominated by Mu X, and the women's tablets that can leave their names will be equivalent to those of men, highlighting their status in that period.
Among the women of the Mu family in the past dynasties, only three of them can be compared with the men's tablets, and there are few so-called concubine tablets in a pile.
After reading this, after going around the ancestral hall, Shen Zhuru had nothing to do, and looked out through the window paper, the lights had been lit up, and the sky was already dark.
The weather was still a little hot, but it will gradually get a little colder.
Shen Zhuru rubbed her arms, she didn't eat dinner, her physical exertion was not replenished, and she felt a little cold after staying in the already shady ancestral hall for a long time.
Shen Zhuru wanted to find something to cover and warm up, but found that unless the cloth on the main platform was torn off, there was nothing else in the ancestral hall, and as for the curtains on both sides, it was not suitable to be torn off, it was too rebellious.
I'm hungry, I'm really hungry.
As the night deepened, there was no movement outside, and the people who were in charge of taking care of the ancestral hall here were all resting, Shen Zhuru curled up and leaned against the foot of the table of the god main table, borrowing a little warmth, and his body couldn't help but tremble slightly.
Shen Zhuru wanted to fall asleep, but she couldn't sleep, her stomach was rumbling quickly, but she couldn't sleep.
"Why don't you put some tributes in the ancestral hall, otherwise you can eat some secretly, otherwise you will be so hungry." Shen Zhuru muttered with her eyebrows.
Knock knock!
Suddenly, there was a slight knock on the door, which attracted Shen Zhuru's attention.
"Young lady." Shippo's voice came from outside the door, and the locked door opened a crack, and the light shone in through the crack, elongating the shadow that stretched through the crack in the door.
"Shippo?" Shen Zhuru opened his mouth uncertainly.
"It's a minion, young lady."
"Aren't you supposed to keep vigil next to the young master? Why did you get here? If people knew about it, you wouldn't be able to eat and walk around. Shen Zhuru stood up and reprimanded with a slight reproach, but despite this, she was also slightly moved by the arrival of Qibao.
"Young lady, the slave is indeed accompanying the young master. It's just that the young master is worried about the young lady and refuses to rest, and the slave can only bring the young master over. I also hope that the young lady can stop making a loud noise, if it is known, it is not only the slave who suffers, I am afraid that the young lady will also be slightly implicated. ”
"Silly...... Your young master is here too? Shen Zhuru lowered her voice and asked, it was too unexpected.
"Lady, are you hungry? I have meat buns, you can eat them quickly. A bun that was still hot was stuffed into the crack of the door, and the tempting aroma made Shen Zhuru swallow her saliva, raised her eyes to look at Mu Fenghua's smiling eyes outside the crack of the door, and took a bite.
"Is it delicious? Is it delicious? ”
"Well, it's delicious."
"Huh!" Mu Fenghua smiled stupidly, squatting on the other end of the door with a satisfied face.
Eating a bun, although it is not much, at least it warms the stomach, and even the body feels a lot warmer.
"Lady, let's go back. It's not comfortable here at all. Mu Fenghua squatted outside the door for a while, and couldn't help but say a little uncomfortable.
"If you're tired, go back and rest, now it's cold, and it's not good to catch a cold. Qibao, take your young master back to Fenghua Garden to rest. ”
"No, don't, I'm going to be with the lady."
"Fenghua is good, go back and rest, you know?"
"Lady, if you go back together, I'll go back."
"No, I've done something wrong, I'm being punished, I can't leave here."
"Then I'm here with you."
"No, it's going to catch a cold."
"Don't be afraid. I can. ”
Mu Fenghua said and lay directly on the cold stone slab at the door.
"Young master, no, the ground is dirty, and you will catch a cold." Qibao hurriedly opened his mouth to persuade, but Mu Fenghua didn't listen at all, and even turned his back to Qibao, looking at Shen Zhuru's figure in the dim light of the room through the gap in the door, and smirked.
"Lady, I'll accompany you." As he spoke, he yawned, but he really planned to lie on the ground and sleep like this.
"This ......" Qibao didn't know what to do, it was impossible to take Mu Fenghua away by force, and Shen Zhuru also persuaded to no avail, and suddenly had a dilemma.
At this moment, the light of a lantern shone through, and it was Yicui and the people from the ancestral hall who came over.
"Young Master!" Yicui saluted Mu Fenghua, and at this moment Mu Fenghua was a little reluctant to get up, but he was still sitting at the door, looking unhappy.
"Young master, the old lady learned that the young master came to the ancestral hall, so she ordered the slave and maid to come over, and the young lady was exempted from punishment, I don't know if the young master can give up the position, so that the slave and the maid can open the door, and let the young lady go back to Fenghua Garden with the young master to rest? After all, it's a bit cold here, not suitable for an overnight stay. ”
Mu Fenghua thought about it very seriously, and finally nodded and got up.
After the lock on the door was opened, Shen Zhuru's slightly embarrassed figure was revealed, somewhat embarrassed, and the clothes on her body were a little wrinkled and the dust on the ground, which was very obvious.
"Young lady, the old lady asked the slave maid to tell the young lady, for the sake of the young master's concern for the young lady's face, this matter will be revealed, and I hope that the young lady will remember that the young master treats you well, don't let down the young master's sincere treatment."
"Yes, I'm also bothering Yicui to tell you on your behalf, there will be no next time."
As for whether he was punished or he was punished for running away again, it is not clear.
"The slave will tell the old lady. The sky is dark, there is still a distance to Fenghua Garden, the road may not be easy to walk, this lantern is also asked to keep the young lady, and go back with the young master. ”
"Hmm!"
