Taozhi held a small package in her hand, cautiously entered the study, and saw Shen Ke standing in front of the window with a cup of tea, as if contemplative, looking at his tall and slightly melancholy silhouette, her heart jumped violently, and only after calming down a little did she step forward and shout shyly and timidly: "Uncle." ”

Shen Ke turned around and saw that it was a peach branch, and his handsome face showed slightly: "Peach branch? His eyes fell on the package in her hand, and he couldn't help frowning.

"Miss asked the slave maid to make two pairs of shoes for the uncle, I don't know if they fit or not, so I specially asked the uncle to try it......" The sound of the peach branch was like a thin mosquito, and he didn't dare to look up at him again.

He smiled, approached her, took the package, and said loudly: "How can the shoes you make not fit?" Don't try! He knew that Li Niang didn't ask her to make these shoes.

In an instant, the man's unique scent of plants and trees lingered around her.

Taozhi blushed suddenly, put down her shoes, and hurriedly walked out.

"Peach Branch." Shen Ke stood behind her and shouted to her, seeing that his shoulders trembled slightly, he said in a deep voice, "I, I know your intentions, but our Shen family can only marry wives in their lives, and cannot take concubines, so we can only fail you in this life, I will tell Li Niang to find a good family for you, and you will marry!" ”

Since Taozhi came to the Shen Mansion, Shen Ke's shoes have always been made by her.

Later, she said that she was willing to make him shoes for the rest of her life.

At that time, he was also young, so he said seriously, okay, I only wear shoes made by you in this life.

At that time, he had to admit that he was in love with the woman who made shoes for him, and even thought that if he married her, he would be willing.

However, later he obeyed his parents' orders and married Qin, who didn't know how to make shoes, so he still wore shoes made by her.

In the past, she was a maid in the Shen Mansion, and it was reasonable to make shoes for him, but now she has married far away to Mu Mansion and made shoes for him......

"Uncle." Taozhi didn't look back, tried to catch the tears that welled up in his eyes, paused, gritted his teeth and said, "Taozhi won't marry, and is willing to serve the young lady for the rest of her life." ”

"Momozhi, why are you doing this?" Shen Ke sighed, shook his head, pondered for a moment, and said slowly, "If you are like this, I will not be at ease for the rest of my life." ”

Momozhi didn't squeak and ran out quickly.

Outside the window, Shen Qingli heard the conversation between the two, so he stopped, until he saw Taozhi running out with his head down, and then walked in casually, only to hear Shen Ke Qingyue's voice coming: "Taozhi, I'm all I say, you don't have to say more." ”

"Brother, it's me." Shen Qingli coughed lightly, it turned out that the two of them still had such a ......

Shen Ke was immediately a little embarrassed.

Shen Qingli smiled, stepped forward and stuffed the silver ticket in his hand into Shen Ke's hand, and said: "You can keep this silver, although it is not much, but it can also be used to supplement the family." Since Wang Ningxi preemptively paid the wages of the people of Jingzhou, she simply left these silver tickets for Shen Ke.

"Li Niang, you take this silver ticket, I don't need it." Shen Ke hurriedly waved his hand, his face turned red all of a sudden, "Don't listen to your sister-in-law's nonsense, there is silver in the house, but it's not with her, you know that your sister-in-law is a person who is flamboyant by nature and can't run a house, so I didn't let her know." ”

He naturally knew that the silver tickets in Shen Qingli's hand were all given to her by Mu Yunting when he was leaving, and now that she had subsidized it to her mother's family at once, even if Mu Yunting didn't ask, he couldn't ask for it.

"Brother, why do you want to see me? You don't have much money in the first place, and you have such a large family, where do you have any savings, you must keep this silver. Although Shen Qingli doesn't have much affection for this brother, but she has been at home for these days, he has always cared for him, and often goes to Fangyi Xuan to ask for warmth, lest it be inconsiderate, including entertaining Gong Si and Feng Liumuan in the past few days, they are also doing their best, she knows that this brother treats herself very well.

"Li Niang, I really have silver, don't believe it, you see." In front of her, Shen Ke opened a secret door behind the bookshelf, took out a boxy mahogany box, opened it and showed her, it was full of golden gold bars, almost forty or fifty.

Shen Qingli was stunned for a moment, where did he have so many gold bars?

Shen Ke frowned, put away the mahogany box, put it away, took out a small package from another drawer, handed it to Shen Qingli, and said in a deep voice: "I know that your sister-in-law has withheld your dowry, and she has always been reluctant to go, but she didn't have any silver in her hand at the time, so she had to mess around, and now my brother has a lot more money on hand, you have these ten gold bars, how can my brother ask for your dowry?" ”

"For me?" Shen Qingli opened it and looked at the package in his hand, looking at the glittering gold, he suddenly felt a little dazed, and asked, "Brother, where did you get so much gold?" ”

According to what he said just now, this gold was accumulated by her half a year after she got married, so how did he accumulate so much gold in such a short period of time?

It's gold!

"Don't ask about these, they're all on the right path anyway." Shen Ke smiled disapprovingly, looked out the window, and urged, "Okay, it's not early, let's go!" ”

"Brother, you should keep this gold! I don't need to. Shen Qingli insisted on stuffing it into him, I don't know why, she looked at the gold, she felt flustered, and always felt that there was something hidden in it, and hurriedly said, "Brother, we can't do illegal things." ”

"Don't worry, how can I say that I am also a person in the officialdom, how can I do things that violate the law and discipline?" Shen Ke insisted on giving it to her, "Brother said, it will be regarded as a dowry for you." ”

Shen Qingli said that he didn't want anything.

The brother and sister were pushing, a figure flashed outside the window, and Song Xiaoyu's voice came in with a smile: "Sister, are you leaving today?" ”

Shen Qingli hurriedly pushed the package back.

Shen Ke was helpless, so he had to quickly stuff it into his sleeve.

Song Xiaoyu stepped in one step, and when she saw the brother and sister standing there looking at each other, she couldn't help but smile, stepped forward to hold Shen Qingli's arm, and said coquettishly: "Sister, you can take me to the capital to play for a few days!" My mom and dad agreed! ”

Shen Qingli glanced at her helplessly: "Then go!" ”

On the other side of Nanshan, it is different from the past.

At the intersection, there were guards guarding it.

The two guards knew Shen Ke, but they didn't embarrass them, and waved them over expressionlessly, just stopping the other carriages and passers-by.

Shen Qingli lifted the curtain and looked at Shen Ke who was riding a horse in front, and had some doubts in his heart, why did he choose to let himself come here today to go to the grave?

Is there a secret on this mountain?

Thinking of this, Shen Qingli felt that he was a little nervous, how could he make himself think so complicated by going to the grave?

"Young lady, I heard that there is a new paddock here in Nanshan, I don't know which prince is hunting here." The peach branch plucked the red reeds and looked over the valley.

"Who else could it be? It must be the prince of Jin, Jingzhou was originally the fief of the prince of Jin, if it was hunting, it would be great, why don't we go over and have a look? Cuizhi also looked over there, from here, the field of vision was not very wide, there was a small forest blocking it, and only the sound of horses' hooves could be heard, which showed that there were people on the other side of the valley.

As soon as he heard that it was the prince of Jin, Shen Qingli's heart tightened, and he hurriedly instructed: "Remember not to do too much, let's leave after going to the grave." ”

How can you meet that dead pervert anywhere!

After going to the grave, Shen Qingli said goodbye to Shen Ke and quickly got into the carriage.

Shen Ke said goodbye to Gong Si and Feng Liu, but he was not in a hurry to leave, but walked towards the paddock not far away.

The carriage did not return the way it came, but turned a corner, descended another mountain road, and galloped away in the direction of the capital.

After walking for more than half an hour, Taozhi was surprised to find that the green branch was gone.

"She can't be in the carriage behind, right?" Shen Qingli hurriedly shouted to stop, and the carriage behind was full of return gifts from the Shen family, and Mu An was sitting outside the carriage chatting happily with the groom.

"Cuizhi isn't in the car?" Mu An heard that Cuizhi was gone, so he hurriedly lifted the curtain to see that there was no one in it except for large and small packages?

"Don't look for it, I just saw Cuizhi heading down the mountain, because I was in a hurry, I'm afraid I didn't catch up with us." Gong Si frowned.

"What then? The slave went back to her. Peach Branch said that she was going to jump down.

"Don't be stupid, we're all out so far, how do you find it? Besides, isn't there still an uncle? Feng Liu said expressionlessly, and looked at Shen Qingli again, "Don't hide it from the young lady, Uncle Shicai instructed that his subordinates must do their best to escort the young lady back to the capital, saying that there will be people in Jingzhou who are not good for the young lady, let's leave Jingzhou quickly!" ”

Shen Qingli realized that they were all taking different paths, and said immediately: "Okay, let's go first, Cuizhi will be fine if she has her uncle to take care of her." ”

Seeing Shen Qingli say this, Taozhi obediently sat back in the carriage, hating herself for not looking at her at that time, and thinking again, no matter what, this is their hometown, Cuizhi can go home even if she closes her eyes, and when she is a few days later, she can find a way to return to the capital.

The carriage galloped forward.

After a while, a group of men and horses hurried after them, looked at the empty road ahead, looked at each other, and struck back in a daze.

"Sir, Mrs. Shen has left Jingzhou, and her subordinates have not caught up."

"A bunch of rubbish!"

When I returned to the Yongding Marquis Mansion, it was already late at night.

People were sleepy and tired, Shen Qingli hurriedly freshened up, fell on the bed, and quickly fell asleep.

Early the next morning, he took the return gift from the Shen Mansion and went to Muying Hall to greet him.

Unexpectedly, Mu Yunting was also there.

Xu is he is really busy, and there is a faint blue under his eyes, as if he has not slept well.

Shen Qingli looked away angrily, not looking at him, the worries, thoughts, and grievances of the past few days came to her heart, and her eyes turned red uncontrollably.

How could he leave her alone and come back alone......

Mu Yunting frowned, got up and said goodbye, saying that there was still something in the yamen, so he had to leave first.

"You go yours, Li girl will accompany me." Huangfu looked at the two of them with mixed feelings, and beckoned to Shen Qingli casually, "Come, Li girl, come and sit with grandmother." ”R1152
