Chapter 261: A Dark Shadow on the Wall
has been a human being for two lives, but she has been a little girl for half her life in one breath.
Xie Shuning smiled and pulled the fox fur on her body, withdrew her gaze from her mother, and looked out of the carriage through the small window.
It's just the first month, the winter snow has not disappeared, the ground is always wet, and the sun can't dry. But from a distance, there is a faint fresh emerald color on the branches, and the green buds are slightly dewed, although there are only a few stars, it also shows that the pace of spring is approaching.
It's still cold.
Song is even more afraid of the cold than her, wrapped extremely thickly, and his hands never leave the hand stove.
Sitting in the carriage, she couldn't help but say, "When winter comes, I hope that spring will come soon, but spring in Kyoto is fleeting, and before I can be comfortable for a few days, the weather is scorching again, like a big stove." It's easy to get cooler, and soon this winter will come again. As she spoke, she couldn't help but let out a long sigh, "It's better to Yanling." ”
She was born and grew up in Yanling, and her roots can only belong to Yanling.
The spring color in the south of the Yangtze River, the freshness of the hot summer, the wind with the fragrance of crab claw chrysanthemum in the high autumn season, and the humid but rarely snowy days in winter all make her miss.
Xie Shu listened quietly, and couldn't help but think of her mother in her previous life, and she couldn't go back to Jiangnan to take a look.
"Mother, when we are free, let's go back to Yanling to live for a few days, right?" The old house of the Song family is in Yanling, although there is no master living in the house, but there are people to take care of it every day, it is clean and tidy, if they are interested, they can go back to live at any time. Xie Shuning remembered that he had never been able to go back since he left home when he was young, so he couldn't help but propose.
Hearing this, Song shook his head with a smile: "Once you come and go, it will take a long time on the road." It's inconvenient. Besides, we left your father to take office, but we packed our bags and went to Yanling. What is this like? ”
If Song Yanzhao still lives in Yanling, it will be fine, but now there are no relatives of the Song family in the Song Mansion in Yanling, what she will do when she goes back is just to talk to others.
Xie Shuning thought about it, it was indeed the case, and gave up. In my heart, I thought that no matter what, I had to go back to see this life after all.
Pondering. The carriage had gone far away.
Shu Yan's carriage walked in front, and under his urging, the wind was blowing under his feet and running fast.
Fortunately, the streets are sparsely populated in winter. Be cautious so that you don't bump into others.
The horses galloped for a long time in the cold wind. carried them to the gate of the good hall.
Because of the start of the repair, Shantang can't see the appearance at the moment, only a prototype, but the style is already there.
Xie Shuning got out of the carriage with the Song family and followed Shu Yan inside.
The craftsman in charge is a person personally selected by the winter solstice, and he is honest and honest, knowing that this place will be a good hall in the future, and the master's family is not short of money. I did my best to do it, and the materials and tools were all selected to be strong and reliable.
Xie Shuning looked around. I think it's good, it's not much different from what she expected at the beginning.
Song was also happy when he saw it, and praised Shuning and Shu Yan again and again for doing a good job this time, doing real things and accumulating blessings. He also said that he would write a letter to Song Yanzhao in person to praise his son.
Hearing this, Shu Yan was rarely shy, and pushed a few words to tell her not to praise again, it was all Xie Shuning's idea, so she hurriedly ran away and went to find the winter solstice to ask about specific matters.
Song pointed to his back and smiled, "It's a forbidden scolding and boasting." ”
Xie Shuning couldn't help laughing.
The mother and daughter took care of the steward, and walked slowly in the backyard, which had not yet begun to be repaired, and discussed what could be done with this piece of land, and that it was better to dig a small pond and raise some edible fish.
As he spoke, Song suddenly said: "Qin Niangzi quit her errand in the long house, and now she doesn't know where she went, can she mention it in the letter written in the winter of last year?" ”
Xie Shuning took her arm, and didn't want to blurt out a reply: "It is said that everything that can be taught has been taught, and it is meaningless to stay, it is better to travel all over the world, the last letter said that he was in Qiongzhou, and he didn't know where it was." ”
"She's really a great person, very casual." The Song language is envious.
Like them, they are all bound by the world.
Xie Shuning bowed her head and echoed a few words in agreement.
In her previous life, it was almost at this time that Qin Niangzi waved goodbye to everyone, left Kyoto in a light car, and never came back.
The mother and daughter said a few more gossips on the topic of Qin Niangzi, and then stopped mentioning it. After walking around, Song was a little tired because of the thick clothes. It happened that Shu Yan sent someone to invite Xie Shuning to discuss things, and Song said, "You go and get busy, I'll rest here." ”
Xie Shuning nodded, thinking that when she went back, she would let Lu Kong take a good look at her mother's body and take care of herself, and she walked quickly to Shu Yan.
After she left, the Song family rested there for a while, relieved herself, looked at the time, and was afraid that Xie Shuning and Shu Yan would be hungry after busy going back and forth, so she sent someone to the carriage to fetch the snacks they brought, and sent them to cushion them first.
The servant went away.
Song stood there, raised his eyes and looked around, and suddenly saw that there seemed to be a place behind the courtyard, and couldn't help asking, "What is the back of the house for?" ”
The few people who accompanied him came for the first time, how could they know the way, and Gui's mother didn't know, so she shook her head and said, "Looking at it from a distance, it looks like a garden." ”
There were also a few trees that had lost their leaves and were bare.
Song smiled, "Let's go over and have a look." ”
She is also very concerned about the affairs of Shantang.
It just so happened that now that Xie Yuanmao is gone, she finds everything interesting.
The group went to that side, and when they got closer, the place was not large, except for a few trees, it was very desolate and cramped.
Gui's mother was a little displeased: "This is a garden, and it looks like a vegetable garden when you pull out a tree." ”
Hearing this, Song Da Lang smiled, approached the two trees that had not yet grown new leaves, pointed to the gap in the middle and said: "The location is just right, let people make a swing and hang it, and it can also be a place for those children to play more on weekdays." ”
When she was young, she was very favored, and she tried everything she could play, whether it was a market thing or a luxury, and she saw these two trees at this moment. The shape of the swing came to mind.
After talking about the swing, she looked at Gui's mother with a smile again, with a smile on the corners of her eyes. "The idea of a vegetable garden is also good, planting some seasonal fruits and vegetables, on the one hand, so that the children can learn how to be self-reliant, and on the other hand, it can also improve the food."
Although it is a good hall, it is better to teach people and fish than to teach people and fish.
What can be taught is always better.
The more Song thought about it, the more he felt that this idea was good, for fear that he would forget it. Hurriedly asked Gui's mother to write it down and tell Xie Shuning later.
She whispered, suddenly looking up. Suddenly, I saw a large black shadow on the wall that was not very high, huge like a bear, and I was so frightened that I almost screamed.
But his body trembled. Gui's mother was standing next to her. Since he didn't miss it, he also followed her line of sight at the moment, and shouted in fright: "There are monsters!" ”
With such a shout, Song could clearly see what the large black shadow on the wall was.
I don't know what kind of animal skin is made of black big coats, and the fur is particularly thick, as if wearing multiple pieces.
The one who can wear a big hat is a person.
The man slowly raised his head, and Song was stunned. Immediately, he hurriedly stopped Gui's mother: "Don't shout! ”
The person on the wall turned out to be Wang Yingong, whom she had a relationship with!
Gui's mother doesn't know why. I was so frightened that my face turned blue, and I couldn't shout, so I couldn't scream, and my face was blue and red.
At this moment, Wang Ren jumped down from the wall, like a bear jumping off the wall.
The group of people below were all frightened.
Even if you're afraid of the cold, no one should dress like this.
But where did they know that Wang Ren was afraid of the cold, and he was afraid of the cold.
Song is also afraid of the cold, but it is the first time that he dares to go out when he sees someone dressed like this, and when he sees him in this kind of place at this moment, he can't help but be confused, and he forcibly calms down and comes forward to salute him.
Wang Ren's face was pale, as if he was freezing badly, he smiled at her, and said suddenly: "I don't know if I can say a few words alone with Mrs. Xie Liu." ”
As soon as these words came out, everyone present was stunned.
Song didn't understand why he suddenly said this, and he was confused.
Gui's mother was scared stupid.
The atmosphere was condensed, and Gui's mother stood in front of Song.
Song said, "You all go down and wait." ”
Mother Gui was shocked, lowered her voice and whispered to Song: "Madam, what is this like a word!" ”
"This person is the Grand Eunuch of the Master of Ceremonies!" Only then did Song suddenly realize what Gui's mother was worried about, and quickly lowered her voice to explain to her.
After hearing this, Gui's mother breathed a long sigh of relief, and her heart turned out to be a eunuch......
She raised her head, quietly glanced at Wang Ren, and secretly sighed that the person with this appearance could be a eunuch, but it was a pity.
"Qinggui, you lead people down and wait." Seeing that she was stunned, Song urged again.
Gui's mother came back to her senses, hurriedly sent a group of people to retreat, and stayed in the distance, although she could see Song and Wang Ren, she couldn't hear what they were saying.
Similarly, the Song side couldn't hear what they were saying.
A few maids who were full of doubts couldn't help whispering, "The sixth master just left home with his front foot, and the queen mother actually saw a foreign man here." ”
Another person said: "It's no wonder that my wife didn't follow the sixth master to take office." ”
In a few words, he couldn't help but talk about the master.
It just so happened that Gui's mother turned her head and heard it, and she was angry, and scolded: "If you talk nonsense again, you will tear your mouths!" What a foreign man is not a foreign man, this person is the palm print father-in-law of the celebrant eunuch! ”
"Is it my father-in-law?" Several maids were dumbfounded, looking incredulous.
My father-in-law is not a man......
The sound under the eaves was gone.
Under the tree not far away, Song looked at Wang Ren suspiciously, not daring to speak.
Speaking of which, she also met Wang Ren a few years ago, and she was very unfamiliar.
After hesitating, she heard Wang Ren say in a gentle voice: "Mrs. Sixth don't be nervous, I just happened to pass by and had a few words to say to you." (To be continued......)
