228 Heart Knot
It turned out to be for this, Shen Yan paused when he heard this. He had asked her if she would go to put the lights on, but he didn't say that he would go with her, it turned out that he was already planning to go. After thinking about it, she said: "Just go and put a lamp, it doesn't have to be a good horse, if you run fast, it is easy to hit people." You can get a horse and ride it. ”
Gu Song was silent and asked, "Are you taking a sedan chair or a carriage?" ”
"A carriage, of course." Shen Yan shrugged, "The sedan car ride is slow and unsafe. ”
"Okay then." Gu Song nodded, turned around and walked out.
Because Fahrenheit was not sure who else was going, he was going to beat Shen Yan's retreat, but he heard that Gu Song would also go, so he was relieved, after all, Gu Song was a boy, and he also knew martial arts, so he had a little more sense of security with him, so he prepared a lot of food and drink, put the rouge in the carriage, and put some emergency summer shelter.
In the evening, Shen Kui had dinner in the second room, and when he heard that Shen Xuan was back, he pestered his grandmother to take him back. After a while, he rushed over again, saying that Shen Xuan had promised to take him and Shen Ming together. After Shen Rui found out, he also pestered Shen Yi in the house, so the Ji family had to send him to the second room again, knowing that Shen Xuan was also going, so he didn't say anything anymore, and only told everyone to be careful.
Seeing the endless stream of pedestrians outside the gate to Yuxi Bridge, the children couldn't sit still, and they all shouted to set off, Shen Yan asked Fu Niang to pass the word to Gu Song, and then took the fan, and also got into the carriage with Shen Yi, followed Shen Xuan's horse, and went out of the workshop after meeting with Gu Song who was waiting at the gate of the fang.
The group just left the fang to the east, and two figures immediately jumped out from behind the lilac tree next to the Huabiao in the fang, and after looking at each other, they immediately followed the Shen family's carriage. And when they disappeared into the street, a person jumped down from the camphor tree not far from Huabiao, swept to the corner of the street and looked, then turned back and gestured to the tree, turned around and left the Qilin Fang in the other direction.
The midyear festival is a big festival, the original people are worshipping their ancestors on this day, and the imperial court will also choose this day to pay tribute to the souls of the soldiers who died in the war.
As time went on, the lantern became a pleasant activity.
The old people pray for good weather and peace for the country, and the young people pray for a good partner and children, and the children's prayers are more extensive, some pray for academic success, some pray for prosperity in official affairs, and some pray for a lot of New Year's money in the coming year.
It's almost dusk now, and there are not many people on the side of Yuxi Bridge, only the merchants are out of the stalls, and more people are still eating dinner.
Shen Yan and the others deliberately came out early, crossed the bridge, and arrived at the east side of the bridge, the team stopped, Shen Xuan stopped the horse at the front, Shen Yi let the maid open the car door, and asked him: "Let's go to the nunnery first to see the fourth aunt, and the fourth uncle will go with us?" ”
Shen Xuan ate a closed door last time, so he naturally didn't want to suffer Chen's cold face anymore, so he put aside his face and said, "I'm not going, you guys go, I'll go to Sizhou Pavilion to find a private room and wait for you." After that, he looked at Gu Song: "Brother Song will also go with me?" I had someone book a tea room by the river, which should be much cooler than elsewhere. ”
Gu Song didn't have to do anything, anyway, he couldn't go to the Water Purification Temple.
Shen Yan knew that this was the result, so he didn't say a word, but Shen Yi was silent, turned his head to look at Shen Ming, Shen Ming hesitated, obviously he didn't dare to make a mistake without Shen Xuan's words, but Shen Xuan said with a cold face: "Brother Ming will also go to the tea room with me." Then he took the horse's head without refusal and went to that end.
Shen Ming sighed, glanced at them, and had to order the coachman to follow.
Shen Yi sat back on the chair and said with his eyebrows: "Fourth uncle, this bull temper, I don't know when I will be able to change my mind?" ”
Shen Yan spit out the melon seed shell and said, "What are you worried about what they do?" They still have a lifetime to live! ”
Shen Yi was about to complain a few more words, but when she suddenly heard the words "for a lifetime", she was stunned again.
When the car entered the nunnery, the little bhikshuni who greeted them did not recognize them, but when they heard that they were looking for Chen, they took them to the monastery casually.
Chen was flipping through the scriptures, soaking in a pot of fragrant red robes in front of him, sitting cross-legged on the meditation bed, looking casual, but there was not much joy and leisure on his face.
Shen Yi called "Fourth Aunt" and walked up with a smile.
Chen raised his head from the book, smiled slightly, and looked at them: "Come and put the lamp?" ”
Shen Yi smiled: "Of course, let's come to see the fourth aunt first." You don't know, these ** are not in the house, my mother is so busy that her legs are cramping, I heard that we came to put the lights, and insisted that I invite you back! ”
"Why are you so busy?" Chen looked at Shen Yan: "It's really so busy, isn't there your mother to help?" ”
Shen Yan shook her fan and smiled: "My mother wants to take care of Brother Ming'er for the fourth aunt, and she hasn't been anywhere in the past two days." ”
Chen heard that Hua was taking care of Shen Ming and Shen Kui, and couldn't help but be stunned, Shen Xuan had a very stiff quarrel with the second room for Shen Ying, and even the relationship with Shen Mi was estranged, and he didn't get along with Hua in the past, why now, would he ask her to take care of the child? And Fahrenheit's stinky temper actually agreed?
She suddenly felt that she was becoming more and more incomprehensible to this home, and the people there were also incomprehensible.
Shen Yi saw that she was silent, so he explained: "The fourth uncle is going to the yamen during the day, and he is worried that he will go back late at night, and Brother Ming'er and they will be alone and unaccompanied, so I asked my mother to take care of it first, but the fourth aunt also knows so many things in the house, she has the help of the second aunt and the fourth aunt on weekdays, and I have to help from the side, where can I be so careful?"
"So the fourth uncle wanted to come and go, so he asked Brother Ming and Brother Kui to the second sister-in-law, first, she was free, and second, there were many people in the second room and they were also careful, I saw Brother Ming, they were also very happy. But this is not a long-term solution after all, it is not impossible for the fourth aunt to relax in the nunnery to cool off, but for the sake of Brother Ming, it is better for the fourth aunt to go back as soon as possible. ”
When Chen heard Brother Ming, he remembered and said, "Yes, Brother Ming didn't come today?" ”
Shen Yi looked at Shen Yan and didn't speak.
Shen Yan was silent for a moment, but said: "Brother Ming'er is here, and the fourth uncle is also here, but it's not convenient for the nunnery to let the man in, if the fourth aunt is interested, she can go out with us at this time, and you can go to Sizhou Pavilion to have tea first." By the way, the fourth aunt should have never taken Brother Ming out to let go of the lights, right? If the fourth aunt can accompany Brother Ming to put back the lamp, Brother Ming is afraid that she will remember it for the rest of her life. ”
Chen looked at her quickly, his eyes flashing and then darkening with her lowered eyes.
Accompany Shen Ming to put on the lights? She was indeed a little impressed.
The last time the lights were turned on was 10 years ago? At that time, she and Shen Xuan had not been married for a long time, he took a carriage to accompany her to put on the lamp, and at that time, no one knew that they were the newly married fourth master and fourth grandmother of the Shen family.
At that time, he treated her very gently and considerately, and would never be weaker than the Wu family - of course, there was no Wu family at that time, it was the best period of her time with him, and then he knew what happened to Qiu Yuxiang, and from then on he regarded her as a passerby, and brought back the Wu family, who was already pregnant with Shen Ying, and forced her to accept her with facts.
After that, she never let go of the lamp again.
Shen Ming has not begged her in the past ten years, she has always known that he is eager to be taken out by his parents to participate in some such activities, but every time she thinks of Shen Xuan, her enthusiasm is like encountering ice water, and it completely turns into smoke. Therefore, she never fulfilled Shen Ming's wish once.
Except for Shen Xuan, Shen Ming is the person she cares about the most.
Now that this wish is close at hand, she can indeed see her son's cheerful smiling face as soon as she takes this step.
But she clutched the silk and still hesitated.
She didn't want to see Shen Xuan, let alone swim with him in this situation, even if it wasn't just the three of them present, she didn't want him to misunderstand that she came out of the nunnery for him, she didn't want him to have a chance to be complacent at all, and she didn't want to let herself face him all the way, isn't this another kind of torment for her?
"Go ahead, I'm feeling a little unwell, I'll go back to the house in two days."
She sat back on the meditation bed and said quietly.
She knows that she will have to go back sooner or later, this is an unavoidable road, in fact, if she can, if she and he are just children of ordinary people's families, then she is really willing to reconcile with him, but unfortunately they are not, their marriage is because of the good marriage of two surnames, naturally whether it will end or not, can only be decided by the elders of both parties.
Every time she thought of this, she felt infinitely sad.
Shen Xuan can still choose to take a concubine to escape her, but she is destined to have to stay alone in the empty room to survive her years, and the reality is even more chilling that even so, she still has to do what she should do, Shen Ming still has to rely on her to raise, the middle feed of the fourth room still wants her to preside, and the affairs of Shen Eun and Zeng's family, she must also come forward to fight for the best result.
Even if the Chen family made her feel loved, she still had to do it.
And the Shen family made her feel strange again, it was also Shen Ming's home. For Shen Ming's sake, she had no way to really leave according to her wishes, and there was no way to find a less depressing place to live the life she wanted to live.
"Fourth aunt!"
Shen Yi sighed and sat down beside her, "Sister Yan'er is right, just think it's for Brother Ming'er, you have to think about it." It's hard for us to come out all year round, and Brother Ming doesn't know how much I hope you can go with us. ”
After speaking, she turned her head and glanced at Shen Yan and asked her to help persuade her. R1152
