Shen Wanzhen hurriedly walked out of the alley with Mama Yan's footsteps, and stopped there in a carriage, seeing that she had arrived, Mrs. Qian's man pulled the car door, "Get in the car, master!" ”

Shen Wanzhen grabbed the car door, stepped up, and turned around as if inadvertently glancing into the alley, the alley was pitch dark, and the shadow of the person could not be seen, and Shen Wanzhen was gloomy. Look at the latest novel on -_-!music-_-!text-_-!small-_-!say-_-!net()

Shen Xuanzhen got into the carriage and lowered the curtain, Zhao Shijiao slowly walked out of the shadows, watching the carriage disappear into the distance, swallowed by the boundless darkness.

He stood in place, his body was cold, as if he had lost his soul, the cold wind blew, and the night was even colder, he didn't know how long he stood there, his whole body was cold, and he didn't realize it.

He should hold on to her, but that will only hurt her, she is not happy, he is not happy, if letting go is a kind of fulfillment, you will fulfill her happiness alone, he probably has no hope from now on.

Shen Wanzhen's carriage was fast, traveling for almost three hours, she lifted the corner of the cotton curtain, looked out, it was pitch black, the more desolate she went, there was a little fire in front, as if there was a low house, surrounded by darkness, the closer she went, the carriage traveled on a road that was not too wide, to the housing area, the carriage slowed down, by the moonlight, Shen Wanzhen saw the courtyard of the surrounding houses, a little vicissitudes and dilapidation, the car walked along only one road, the carriage went to the back of the yard and stopped, "Master, it's here." Qian Kuan's voice came.

When Mrs. Qian heard this, she got out of the carriage first, helped Shen Wanzhen and then got down, and got down from the warm carriage, the night was cold, she shivered, and took a look at the road to and fro, the endless darkness, she thought that person would not be stupid and still standing there, such a cold night, it would freeze, and her heart was bitter.

Then Yan Pozi and Xiuju and Qiao Shan got out of the car in turn, and Shen Wanzhen stood at the gate of the courtyard and looked around, the surroundings were silent, and the sky was approaching.

She once found this place according to the map, if there were no drawings, if there was no rich woman's man to guide the way, even if she was asked to come during the day, she would not be able to find it.

Qian Kuan stepped forward to open the courtyard door, Mrs. Qian was in front, and she didn't dare to carry the lamp, for fear of alarming people so late, Mrs. Yan helped her and told her to look at the soles of her feet, the yard seemed to be pushing sundries, a little messy, as soon as she entered the house, the heat came to her face, Mrs. Qian and Mama Yan came early, and they had already burned the kang hot.

Shen Wanzhen went directly into the inner room, "The master sits on the kang, and the kang is hot." Mrs. Qian said as she walked out of the room, "I'll fetch hot water for the master and wash it." ”

There was a big pot of hot water on the stove outside, Mrs. Qian held a copper basin, half of the food was hot, and then mixed with cold, tried to be warm, brought it in, Xiuju took it, Qiao Shan took a low stool and put it on, and the two waited for the master to wash his face.

Hastily washed and settled, Shen Wanzhen and the two maids lived in the west house, the north and south two shops on the kang, Shen Wanzhen rested on the kang in the north, the embroidered chrysanthemum rested on the kang in the south, Mrs. Qian and Mama Yan rested in the east house, and Qian Kuan lived in the wing room.

Shen Wanzhen was lying in the quilt, the bedding was washed white, smelling of soaphorn, this place was remote, the night was very quiet, silent, but she couldn't sleep over and over, and the figure always appeared in front of her.

On the opposite kang, Xiuju and Qiaoshan had already made a slight snoring sound, and she tossed and turned, and she didn't know how long it took before she fell asleep.

Shen Mansion

The next day, the back garden of the house assigned to clean the rough mother-in-law dawned, sweeping the garden, accidentally found that the back door was not locked, walked over, pushed, the door opened, muttered, "This old woman is so careless, even the door forgot to lock, fortunately, there are few passers-by at the back door, no one came in." ”

Wu got up and remembered a thing, Shen Wanzhen carried it into the palace today, the wedding dress she wore that day was not made yet, I don't know if it fits, I was busy asking Su Lan to take the wedding dress and let her try it on, the courtyard where Shen Wanzhen lived was not far from the upper room, Su Lan held the wedding dress and went to the house, entered the courtyard, there was no sound, and there was no early maid, Su Lan smiled, shook her head, and said to herself: "This master and servant can really calm down, I will get on the sedan chair tonight, and I haven't gotten up when it's dawn." ”

When they reached the door of the upper room, Su Lan shouted; "Sister Xiuju." shouted twice, no one answered, she pushed the door, the door was open, she went in puzzled, why no one was seen, she walked to the Xinuan Pavilion again, opened the next door, there was no one, Su Lan hurriedly walked to the east room, there was no one, there was no one in the east room, and walked back to the West Warm Pavilion, and when I saw it, the bedding on the kang was not put down, and I knew that it was not good.

Out of the house to go to the yard, in front of the house and behind the house to look for it, there is still no figure, Su Lan intuitively felt that something was wrong, hurriedly went back to the upper room, 1510 back to Wu, Wu listened, surprised, busy

brought people over, and sure enough, it was empty, and ordered the maid and servant to look through the cage, Chen Shengjia opened the box, and his face changed in shock, "Madam, the clothes of the three girls are gone." ”

Wu personally opened the jewelry box on the dressing table, the jewelry box was not chained, Wu shook his hand to open it, it was empty, Wu was dizzy for a while, almost fell, fortunately the maid behind her was supportive, she said weakly: "Hurry up and invite the master." ”

Master Shen rested in Feng'er's house yesterday, and listened to his wife's invitation early in the morning, as if saying that something had happened to the third girl, Feng'er waited and hurriedly put on her clothes, so she ran to the room, and as soon as she entered the door, she said loudly: "What's wrong with the third girl?" ”

Wu's face was ugly, and he said weakly: "Master, the third girl ran away." ”

When Master Shen heard this, his head buzzed, he stood unsteadily, he was busy holding on to the table, he was also panicked for a while, and he was busy leading his family to wait for the city gate, the city gate had just opened, and Master Shen ordered a few people to guard here, making a sedan chair by himself, chasing out more than ten miles in one go, and he didn't see Shen Wanzhen's figure.

Jiang Chengdao, the steward who followed him: "Master, the city gate has just opened, the three girls are leaving, and they can't go so fast, they have come out for more than ten miles, and there is no one in sight, so they must not have left the city yet." ”

As soon as Master Shen pondered it, he turned back and took people to guard, and he guarded it for a day, but he didn't see his daughter's figure, and all day, the water and rice were not used, and the city gate was closed after dark, and he rushed back to Shen's mansion.

As soon as the Wu family saw that the old man was listless, he knew that he had not found a concubine.

Wu was not idle all day, one by one, they all shook their heads and said that they didn't know what to do, and then a rough mother-in-law in the back garden reported that the backyard door was open, and the people seemed to run there, Wu took people to the back door of the Shen Mansion, and found nothing, it is estimated that the people ran from there, otherwise, the gate of the mansion was closed at night, and there were still people holding it, and Shen Wanzhen couldn't fly out of the house even if she put on her wings.

Master Shen was hungry for a day, and he hastily ate a few bites of food, and when the sky was dark, he led people to look for and inquire in various inns in the capital, and there was no trace of Shen Wanzhen.

Seeing that this matter could not be delayed, the next day, he and his wife had to enter the palace to ask for guilt.

Old Master Shen and his wife knelt in Cining Palace, so frightened that they didn't dare to raise their heads to look at the Queen Mother's face, and the Queen Mother's majestic voice came from overhead, "Lord Shen, Mrs. Shen, are you dissatisfied with your daughter's status?" If you are not satisfied with telling the mourning family, why do you have to play this bitter trick? ”

Master Shen was so frightened that he was in a cold sweat, and he was busy kowtowing, "The Queen Mother forgives her sins, it is really that Weichen's family education is not strict, Weichen must arrest her back and bring her to the Queen Mother to ask for guilt, whether it is to kill or chop, listen to the Queen Mother, Weichen should only be a daughter who does not have this immorality." ”

Let's say, Shen Quande and his wife kowtow like chickens pecking rice.

"Mrs. Shen doesn't seem to be interested in raising her concubine." Empress Dowager Guo didn't like how she looked at the Wu family, this woman didn't deliberately let people go, otherwise, in the courtyard of the deep house, how could a concubine get away.

Wu's face turned purple, and he was so frightened that he hurriedly kowtowed and asked for sin, "The Queen Mother forgives her sins." ”

Shen Quande knew that if he didn't give an explanation to the Queen Mother about today's affairs, the royal face couldn't be explained, and he hurriedly kowtowed: "The minister will go back to find the unfilial daughter, and if he can't find the unfilial daughter, the minister will come to the Queen Mother to ask for guilt." ”

The Queen Mother called Shen Quande and his wife, and her anger disappeared a little, "Go down." ”

Shen Quande wiped the cold sweat on his head with his sleeve and knelt down with Wu.

As soon as Shen Quande returned home, he attacked Wu, "How do you manage the inner house?" I can't even look at a person, how can I run? When did you run? Isn't the gate closed in the dark house? ”

Wu saw that the trouble was getting bigger, and he didn't dare to argue, and said in a low voice: "The mother-in-law at the back door of the house forgot to lock it, and the three maids ran away while they were free, I went to her house last night to ask her about the dowry, and it was still there, probably running at night." ”

When such a big event came out of the house, all the concubines, maids, servants and servants gathered in the upper room, and Aunt Zhang and Aunt Ding secretly relieved their hatred.

Aunt Ding hates Wu's hatred so much that her teeth itch, Shen Wanyu has given birth to a daughter, Mrs. Wu and Mrs. Jiang are quite disappointed, Wu Jinglan also treats her not as before, she goes to the green jade and purple jade house during the production period, Shen Wanyu is out of the full moon, Wu Jinglan comes to her room a few times, she has just given birth to a fat body, and her posture has not fully recovered, Zhen knows that Wu Jinglan likes thin-waisted beauties, since Shen Wanyu gave birth, she ordered the big kitchen to give Shen Wanyu a supplement, not hesitating to break the cost of silver, soup and water all day long, Shen Wanyu only said that she didn't know how to change sex, I was also happy to use it, but I didn't know that after a month, my weight increased dramatically.

Shen Xuanyu can't recover her slender figure when she was a girl, although she is not breastfeeding, the child has a nurse belt, the twin peaks are not sagging, but she is already relaxed, and there is fat on her waist, Wu Jinglan doesn't say anything, but she has more steps into the green jade and purple jade room, and occasionally goes to Zhen's room.

As soon as Shen Wanyu came out of the full moon, she went to Zhen's to set up rules, Zhen was always yin and yang, and Shen Wanyu had no city government, so she suffered a lot of secret losses, but fortunately, Zhen didn't plan to take her child over to raise.

Aunt Ding was resentful in her heart for a while, and Shen Wanyu's current failure was all caused by Wu's mother-in-law, so she turned the fire at the right time and said, "The mother-in-law who is in charge of the key should be punished, it won't be that she deliberately let it go." ”

When Master Shen heard this, if the mother-in-law of the key deliberately let him go, then he would know the whereabouts of Shen Wanzhen, so he ordered someone, "Find the mother-in-law who is watching the back door." ”

Mrs. Ge, who was guarding the back door, was so frightened that she trotted away, came to the upper room, knelt down when she entered the door, and opened her voice, "Master, Mrs., wronged the old slave, it was not the old woman who let him go, today Chen's mother brought someone to ask the old slave, and said that the old slave forgot to lock the back door, the old slave's eyes really locked the door, and there were people in the big kitchen in front of him, and the old slave dared to swear to the lamp, if there is a lie, let the old slave die well." ”

Say, prostrate and cry out for injustice.

Master Shen frowned and said sharply, "Who cares about the key to the back door?" ”

Chen Sheng's family looked at his own head, and he was busy out of the queue, "The old slave is in charge, there was something yesterday, and I gave it to Miss Liuli." ”

Master Shen looked at Liuli again, and was so frightened that Liuli hurriedly knelt down, "The slave was wronged, the key has been pinned to her waist, this old woman took it, and later sent it back, the slave and maid were not in the house, and when she came back, she put it away when she saw the key on the table." ”

Wu's eyes flashed, and he asked Mrs. Ge: "Who did you give the key back to?" ”

Mrs. Ge was so frightened that she hurriedly said in a loud voice: "The old slave saw that Miss Liuli was not there, so he put it on the table, and the girl Feng'er was in the house, so he told Miss Feng'er." ”

Master Shen and Wu's eyes turned to Feng'er, Master Shen's gaze softened a little, and his attitude was much more relaxed, "Feng'er, you can tell me, can you see the key?" ”

Wu stared at her, a little suspicious, and his eyes changed a few times in an instant.

Feng'er saw that Master Shen asked her head, stepped forward, and said unhurriedly: "This mother told the slave maid, and the slave didn't pay attention to it, so she was busy with other things, as for when the key was put away, the slave didn't pay attention." ”

Master Shen snorted, she didn't believe that Feng'er did it, although she had waited for Shen Wanzhen in the past, but the waiting time was not long, and now she was a person in her own house, so she couldn't take risks for the old master.

Master Shen looked at the maid in the upper room again, and thought to himself, this must be the one who got the benefit, collected the money, and released the three girls.

With a stiff face, he said to Wu: "I can't look at a key, I don't know when I ran away, it can be seen that your housekeeper is negligent, I don't care about this matter for the time being, if such a thing happens, you don't have to worry about it." ”

One of the concubines in Master Shen's room looked at her face, and the Wu family didn't dare to squeak, and sat with his head down, his face flushed and white for a while.

Master Shen was angry, calmed down, and asked Wu, "Do you think she can go there?" ”

The Wu family couldn't figure out where Shen Wanzhen was hiding, and Zhan Bofu wouldn't go if he killed Shen Wanzhen, so where could he go?

Master Shen looked at Wu's eyes a little colder, and said solemnly: "It can be seen how you usually treat the concubine, the Queen Mother said it well, you really don't care." ”

Wu bit his mouth, secretly hated Shen Wanzhen in his heart, and actually gave her a few eyes.

Shen Wanzhen hid in a remote place, this courtyard is very large, and when I look at it in the daytime, there are indeed piles of tofu making household goods in the yard.

Autumn is over, the wild goose flies south, Shen Wanzhen stood in the courtyard, seeing that the leaves of a jujube tree in the yard had fallen, and the dates that fell to the ground were not picked up, they were rotten and buried in the soil, and the bare jujube tree stood alone in the cold wind, Shen Wanzhen suddenly thought of that person again, the lonely figure in the cold wind that night, her eyes were full of tears.

"Master, it's cold, let's go inside." Xiuju saw that she hadn't entered the house for a long time, pushed open the door, and greeted her, Shen Wanzhen raised her head so that tears would not fall.

The outhouse is the stove room, the east and west rooms, the two rooms are set up in the north and south of the two kangs, a few people live in the spacious, as soon as you enter the door, a breath of heat, the kang burns hot, Shen Wanzhen is so cold that his hand is put on the kang head, thinking that he will not freeze that night.

Shen Wanzhen and a few people do not go out of the yard all day, although this place is remote, but everyone is familiar with it, go out to let people here see, they will feel curious, it is Qian Kuan to buy things, Qian Kuan has lived here for a while, and the surrounding neighbors are also familiar, each family, independent courtyard, close the courtyard door, and the movement in the house can not be heard outside, yes, Shen Wanzhen has been here for five or six days, and the residents here have not found it.

The people of the Shen Mansion couldn't imagine this, and Shen Wanzhen stayed with peace of mind, but as soon as the wind passed, she set off to the south.

Cining Palace

Silent and silent, the atmosphere was tense and depressing, the gold-inlaid hollow phoenix wore a peony and walked in front of the Wei purple gauze tent, and the imperial doctor surrounded the phoenix bed, helpless.

"Back to the Queen Mother, the prince is caused by the wind and cold." The Imperial Physician echoes.

"The prince's high fever does not go away." There was another rush of chaos.

Zhao Shizhen only felt the chaotic footsteps, the figure in front of him swayed, he closed his eyes and wanted to sleep, his eyelids were heavy, his eyes were sour, Shen Wanzhen stood in front of him, smiled at him, raised his hand at him, and he and she hugged each other and stood on the bow of a gallery boat, looking at the river in the distance.

"Queen Mother, you've been guarding for three days, so let's rest." Cui Changhai saw that the queen mother's eye sockets were sunken, and her spirit was not good, so she persuaded her.

"On this very cold day, he actually stayed outside for two nights." The Queen Mother's voice was a sense of loss and a faint sadness.

Shen Mansion

Shen Wanzhu and Aunt Zhang were talking in the house, and the maid came in, "The master has returned home." ”

Shen Wanzhu said: "Father is angry enough? ”

Aunt Zhang had a smile on her face, moved her body, grabbed her daughter and whispered in her ear: "Since the three girls ran away, your father has not had a good face these days, and blamed his wife, and his wife is so scared that she doesn't even dare to come out." Aunt Zhang's heart was overjoyed, and she remembered again, so she hurriedly closed the door and took out the paper from the box to show Shen Wanzhu, "With this, your brother won't worry, and you will be able to borrow in the future." ”

Shen Wanzhu took it from Aunt Zhang's hand, took a cursory look at it, and said in surprise: "Father agreed?" ”

Aunt Zhang leaned in her ear and muttered in a low voice, Shen Wanzhu said, "When is Auntie going to take it out?" ”

"Next year's Cold Food Festival, worship ancestors, open an ancestral hall, I will take this out, I'm not afraid that your father won't agree." Let's say, Aunt Zhang put it away carefully.

The mother and daughter were talking in the house, but there was a person outside the door through the crack in the door, and heard the conversation inside, this maid was the maid Qiu Cicada that the master had used, after listening, she smiled proudly, this time when the wife should use her, if this credit is established, I am afraid that the wife will not help her to be the master's concubine.

Master Shen walked to the back house angrily and ran to the room.

A maid at the gate of the courtyard saw the old man looking at this box, and hurriedly ran back to the house, "Madam, the old man is coming this way, and he seems to be in a hurry." ”

When Wu heard this, he hurriedly put on his shoes and got off the kang, and went out of the house, and before he could wait for the gate, Master Shen entered the courtyard.

Wu hurriedly stepped forward and squatted, "The master is back." "She doesn't dare to slack off on Master Shen at all, and now that the Lord is angry, she is extremely attentive and careful.

Master Shen stepped into the bright room, sat down in the chair, and let out a heavy breath, Wu accompanied him carefully, "Master came back early today?" ”

It's okay that she didn't ask, but when she asked, Master Shen snapped and slapped it on the table next to her, "You still ask me, what did the emperor say to me today?" ”

"Say what?" He slapped the table and the Wu family was frightened, a little grass and trees, seeing that his master was annoyed, he hurriedly asked, "What did you say?" After asking, he trembled in fear, afraid that he would say something bad.

"The emperor said, Shen Aiqing's housework is not well managed, you don't have to worry about the affairs of the Ministry of Industry, go home to find your daughter on leave."

Wu was suddenly stupid, this was a dismissal from his official position, his eyes were closed at that time, and he almost fainted, but fortunately the maid supported him.

It took a long time before he calmed down and said: "The royal family wants to be faced, as soon as the three girls run, it is natural for the emperor to be angry, if we find the three girls, the emperor's anger will disappear." ”

"To put it lightly, it's been more than ten days, is there any clue?" Master Shen sent people to guard the city gate in the morning and evening, and he didn't see anyone for more than ten days, so he had to look into the distance and send someone to his hometown in Shandong to ask, but the hometown in Shandong said that the three girls had never gone back at all.

Old Man Shen glared at Wu angrily, got up, shook his hand, and walked out of the main room.

Wu has suffered a crime these days, if the master's official position is lost, he can still rest with himself, these days, the maids in the room are questioned, and they all swear that they have nothing to do with this matter.

Wu was a little suspicious of Feng'er, but he didn't dare to know what to do to her, now the old man is angry, only she can still say a few words, the old man can still listen to her words, turn over and over, test the words, Feng'er didn't react, after weighing it repeatedly, Feng'er had no reason to do so, so she moved her heart to other places.

At this moment, Aunt Zhang's maid Qiu Cicada came in, saw that there was no one left and right, hurriedly closed the door, walked to Wu's side, and whispered a few words in his ear, Wu's face suddenly changed greatly, staring at her, "Did you hear clearly?" Did you see that thing? ”

Autumn cicada whispered; "The slave and maid were lying on the crack of the door that day, and they saw it really, and the aunt was locked in the box."

The Wu family was unsatisfactory one after another, and thought about it, "Don't say anything about this matter." ”

Qiu Cicada nodded, "The slave understands. ”

"When the matter of the three girls is settled, and this matter has a result, I will go back to the master and carry you as an aunt."

Qiu Cicada was so happy that she quickly knelt down and kowtowed to his wife to thank him.

got up, and whispered again: "That day, I heard that the third girl and the fourth girl quarreled, and the fourth girl was angry that the third girl seduced the prince and wanted to enter the palace. ”

Wu snorted, and his mind turned to Shen Wanzhu, could it be her who let Shen Wanzhen go? And her aunt? Shen Wanzhen's departure is the most beneficial for her.

The outskirts of the capital

"Master, the city gate has been loosened in the past few days, and the servants have only gone to investigate, and those who have gone out to do errands with relatives have been let out of the city, and the investigation is not tight.

As soon as Qian Kuan entered the door, he told Shen Wanzhen and the others the news.

"It's time, I've been waiting for more than ten days." Mrs. Yan pinched her fingers and calculated, "It's not going to be fifteen or sixteen days."

Shen Wanzhen is waiting for the wind to pass, waiting for the winter, wearing a lot, not easy to identify, she guesses, the Shen family must be looking for her, maybe the Queen Mother is also looking for her, after all, she ran away, which damages the dignity of the royal family, and the Queen Mother must be angry and ordered her to be arrested.

There has just been a heavy snowfall in the capital, the temperature has dropped suddenly, on the pipeline in the capital, the people who travel are covered thickly, a carriage in front of the car is sitting the car owner and a middle-aged stout man, there are four people sitting in the car, two old mothers-in-law, and a middle-aged woman, the middle-aged woman combed a low bun, her face was covered tightly, she was bloated, and she looked old, but her smart eyes were leaked.

Fortunately, the city gate was not strict, no one looked closely, and the car went out of the capital smoothly.
