002 Lion's Roar
The Shen Mansion is in the northeast corner of the crossroads, covering an area of 700 acres.
Shen Yan bypassed the closed main gate, walked quickly to the bustling northwest Wuyi Lane, and broke into the West Corner Gate from the chatting voices of the people of the Shen Mansion who came and went all the way.
The porter swallowed half of the "second girl" at the bottom of her throat, and watched in surprise as she carried her skirt into the West Cross Courtyard without temperament.
The people she wants to see right now are her parents, who can care what others think of her!
After more than ten years, Shen Yan can still accurately touch Xiyuetang with her eyes closed and her memory, her mother Hua's, must be sitting under the window of the main room of Xiyuetang at this moment, supporting her forehead with her bare hands, and frowning slightly to check the peony flowers she embroidered in the morning, or the shop accounts she recently made, while counting how disobedient she was with Mama Huang.
And on the kang table next to her, there must also be the snacks and flower tea that Shen Yan loves to eat that she made Bingli prepare.
If she transferred to the study room Mo Juxuan, then nine times out of ten, she would definitely see her father, who had just come back from the yamen, sitting behind the bookcase, dealing with the general affairs of the second room or the official affairs of the yamen. Either or roll up your sleeves and play with all kinds of chrysanthemums on the trellises in the courtyard, which are my mother's favorite, and my father once said that if I take care of them in the spring, I can let my mother see the beautiful chrysanthemums in the autumn.
With a sour heart, she watched Xiyuetang approach step by step.
She rushed into the main room like the wind, and the smiles on the faces of the people along the way disappeared from the corners of her mouth in an instant as she galloped away, and the scorn was as if the inconsequential wind had blown the weeping willows under the steps, and it was not worth paying special attention to.
Under the quiet corridor in the courtyard, Shen Yan held on to the pillars and stopped, and she finally saw that her mother was sitting in the room facing the window, puffing out her cheeks and humming to Mama Huang who was standing in front of her: "Where did Sister Yan go?" When she comes back, let her recalculate the two accounts, and if she can't figure it out, she is not allowed to eat snacks! ”
The mother's voice was delicate and soft, annoyed and helpless.
Mama Huang, who was kind and kind, smiled and said, "My sister is still young, grandma don't restrain her." Our girl is very smart, and knows how to measure, these days when she returned to Beijing, Leng didn't let Yao Ritang and the East Cross Courtyard pick out the slightest reason, just rush this, grandma should also rest assured. ”
"You know how to protect her like this......"
The sunshine shines through the camphor tree with a new green leaf on the face of the thin powdered Fahrenheit, and the red gold peony flowers on the sideburns are projected between her eyebrows and eyes, reflecting her particularly delicate and colorful, she stands up with her hand on Mama Huang's wrist, with deep disapproval on her face, but it does not affect her temperament at all.
Fahrenheit never let people see her cruelty except when he beat her.
Shen Yan's fingertips picked at the gaps in the columns, and tears flowed down the ground.
She went round and round between life and death, but she still didn't come back late, her mother was still there, the corners of her lips were clean and free of dove poison, and her face was not anxious and melancholy, she was still alive and rich and stayed in the splendid pile, her face was as beautiful as a flower, and she was waiting to train her.
"Sister Yan'er?"
Fahrenheit stepped out of the room, and at a glance, he saw Shen Yan crying and very forgetful on the patio. She opened her mouth wide, "What's wrong with you?" "People who can get into trouble generally don't like to cry, and such a Shen Yan is indeed rare. She let go of Mama Huang's hand and walked across the patio with small steps, her previous anger had already been suppressed by this surprise.
Based on having a pair of very down-to-earth parents, Shen Yan has never tasted the taste of being imprisoned in the inner house all year round since he was a child, and the family rules of Washington Mansion are not as strict as those of Shen Mansion when he was in Jinling, Shen Yan's childhood could not be more wonderful and relaxed. It is more difficult for such a person to shed tears than in June.
Shen Yan knew that she was scared of Fahrenheit, but she couldn't stop, who could understand her mood of returning to the original fork in the road after a lifetime of grief and irreparable mistakes?
At this moment, let her cry happily.
"Mother...... Kiss! ”
She threw herself on Fahrenheit's chest, tears quickly wetting the hem of her dress, and she was caressed by her mother's soft hands, which felt like it had been caressed directly into her heart.
I have the impression that every time my mother punishes her, she will comfort her as she sees in front of her, and reason with her in her own way, after the death of her mother in her previous life, she has faced countless setbacks and difficulties, and each time she will dream of her mother accompanying her so gently and wordlessly - of course, more than this, in fact, it is the feather duster hanging on the east wall.
"What's going on? Which tendon is wrong? ”
Fahrenheit bent down, and his lips, which were equally rosy without lip balm, opened slightly, "Didn't Mrs. blame you?" ”
At the mention of "Mrs.", her voice was strangely cold and hard. In addition to Shen Yan, who has never been able to treat Hua with a normal heart in his life, there may also be his mother-in-law, Mrs. Shen.
Shen Yan shook his head, choked up and couldn't speak.
But apparently Fahrenheit had decided that this was the case, and she hugged her tightly and looked at Mama Huang with a frown. Mama Huang's face was also worried, but she was a loyal old servant, and when she saw this, she hurriedly bowed down and said softly, "What happened to the second girl?" Don't be afraid, we still have a second master. ”
When it is inconvenient for Fahrenheit to come forward, there is usually Shen Mi.
Shen Yan was imprinted with tears on a silk by Fahrenheit, but he couldn't even say half a word.
How could she tell them that she was thanking Heaven for allowing her to come back to them?
Fusang approached lightly at this time: "Grandma, Yaoritang sent Qiuxi over." ”
Fahrenheit's hand stopped above Shen Yan's head.
Qiuxi is the tea lady in front of Mrs. Shen, and she can go straight to the inner room without waiting for Mrs. to summon her in Yaori Hall, and on weekdays, Xiyue Hall doesn't seem to have the honor to let her come to the door in person, what's wrong with it today?
Hua didn't understand, Shen Yan was also puzzled, but he immediately held back his tears.
In her previous life, nothing happened after she returned home, but she was okay but it didn't mean that the second room was fine, and Hua's suicide was three months later, and there must be a reason for it, Hua's life in the Shen Mansion surrounded by wolves was very difficult, and her uncle was far away in Jinling at that time, so that she died in the Shen Mansion for half a month before Washington learned the news.
Hua's death was because of her husband, so there must have been some inside stories in the Shen Mansion at that time that she didn't know.
Shen Yan still doesn't know the truth about her mother's suicide, she only knows that her mother ran in many ways to rescue her imprisoned father before she died, and when her father finally came out, she died with a cup of dove poison that night.
She didn't know where the poison came from, and only her father had entered the main room where her mother was that night.
After that, although her father was a widow all her life, she still regarded her as a lifelong enemy.
It wasn't until she heard his dying words with her own ears that she suddenly realized that this qiē was wrong, but she had been defeated by remorse and guilt, and she was no longer able to trace the facts.
The death of her mother is the dividing line between the two in her previous life, and now she feels a little unrealistic holding Hua's soft body. She didn't expect that God would give her a chance to find out the truth and continue to be happy, the days like that in the second half of her life were like clouds frozen in her heart, and these clouds were gone, and the flowers were everywhere in her eyes, and there was no shadow of blood and hatred.
In the moment when she was crying when she reunited with Fahrenheit, she didn't have the extra strength to think about how to go forward, she only felt how happy she was to be able to return to this moment, but as Qiuxi's name suddenly rang in her ears, these familiar names instantly pulled her back to reality.
She is now in the Shen Mansion, so not only Fahrenheit is here, everyone else in the Shen Mansion is still there, not only Qiuxi will appear, everyone else will appear, she will not only face Hua's concern, but also face all the tricky people and things outside of this Xiyue Hall, this was once Hua's graveyard, she can no longer be as ignorant as herself in her previous life.
It is not her character to be entangled in negative feelings and unable to extricate herself, and the quick reflexes she has cultivated in her previous life make her immediately wipe away her tears, and she habitually put her face on the handkerchief in Fahrenheit to wipe away the residual tears, and stand up straight.
She is new to the world, how things will develop in this life, whether it will continue to move forward according to the original trajectory, or whether God will whimsically find another way, it is possible, she has to carefully observe and observe, including the current Qiuxi's intentions.
She raised her leg to follow Hua's to the flower hall, but Hua's big hand stretched out to block her under the porch: "It's good if I go, with me, no one dares to bully you!" Qiuxi's sudden arrival obviously made her even more convinced that Shen Yan was being harshly reprimanded by Mrs. Shen, and she was reluctant to let her show up again.
Shen Yan saw that she insisted, and she didn't make a sound. After she left, she sneaked into the ear room on the side of the small flower hall.
Before he went in to find a good place to stand, Qiuxi retired.
Fahrenheit stood in the hall, his body shaking slightly.
Shen Yan walked in and gently shook her sleeve.
Fahrenheit, who had been perfect before, turned into a fried-up lion and roared, "Don't touch me! ”
Shen Yan jumped up and took two steps back, and was bumping into Mama Huang who rushed in behind. Mama Huang hurriedly came over and hugged her in her arms, and persuaded: "Grandma take care of your body, Sister Yan is still young, don't scare her guts." ”
Fahrenheit pointed at Shen Yan's head, squeezed out a voice with a mouthful of silver teeth, and said, "I finally know why you're crying!" You're good, you're very capable! Now that even the little prince of the Rongguo Mansion dares to fight, do you think life is too peaceful?! - Mama Huang, you go and get the ring ruler, I beat her and then go to Yaori Hall to compensate Mrs. Shizi! ”
Shen Yan finally understood, it turned out that Gu Song was the wicked person who sued first, and the wife of the Gu family ran to the Shen family to play prestige!
She hadn't beaten Gu Song in her previous life, and when she was in a hurry, she just asked him to give way at a high speed and effectively, but she didn't expect to bring out the aftermath. But she is a girl's family, no matter how heavy the shot is, where can it go? What's more, they bullied people first, but I didn't expect them to have the face to come and sue!
