Chapter 52: Waiting

"Were you injured after you were detained?" Shen Jin put away his usual grinning appearance and said with a straight face.

Mu Zhao didn't feel that he was hurt, and he was willing to be hurt for her. On the way back, she didn't mention anything about Song Heng, because there was really no need to mention it, Song Heng's appearance would not separate them, but would only make their relationship more stable.

Song Heng could roughly guess his intentions this time, and he would rather be tortured than sacrifice herself for him. Rather than living as a walking corpse, he would rather be harmed in her place. He was not afraid of being tortured by Song Heng, what he was afraid of was that she would personally tell her one day that she wanted to be with someone else.

"Nothing." Mu Zhao's clear eyes flashed with a smile.

Nothing means that he is injured, hearing this, Shen Jin pulled Mu Zhao up and down, and sighed softly: "It's hard for you." ”

The person his sister really likes is him, and they also like each other, but Song Heng also likes his sister, and now the best solution is for Song Heng to give up his obsession with Shen Nanyan, and the three of them can be happy. It's just that judging from Song Heng's current behavior, I'm afraid it's impossible.

Mu Zhao shook his head and said, "I'm afraid I'm really breaking with him now, and I'm afraid it will be difficult to untie the knot in the future." This time, Song Heng's actions completely interrupted the brotherhood between them. Anyone can conclude that Song Heng has no mercy on him.

For this situation, Shen Jin couldn't say anything more, and patted him on the shoulder to show comfort.

…………

Many days later, Shen's mother was finally willing to come back from her mother's house and took Shen's father back to Shen's mansion together. They originally intended to stay only a few days, but the old man's hard work to keep them was postponed until now.

After returning home, the two brought back a lot of gifts, eating beads and hairpins, jewelry and fabrics, Shen Fugui is one of the four major families in the capital, and there will be no shortage of these things, but because it is the old man's heart, Shen's father and Shen's mother still took it with a smile.

Because Shen Jin had already sent a message overnight to tell them about Shen Nanyan and Mu Zhao, as soon as Shen's mother returned home, she naturally went in to see Shen Nanyan with gifts, and saw her daughter's happy face, Shen's mother felt very relieved, and even with Mu Zhao was closer than her own son, she urged Shen Jin to invite Mu Zhao to come to the house as a guest many times.

In the eyes of everyone, Mu Zhao should have been guarding the border and not in Kyoto now, Shen's father and Shen's mother were happy to forget this for a while, Shen Jin naturally couldn't forget it, and it was impossible to make a post like this.

This matter is not mentioned, Shen's father and Shen's mother went to Shen's mother's maiden house on the first day after the New Year, and the Luo family's family is far away in Kyoto.

Therefore, under the careful consideration of the supreme authority of the Luo clan, they resolutely decided to move out of the capital. Although people are far away from the capital, as long as there is Shen's mother, the daughter of the Luo family, the people of Kyoto will not forget them no matter what, since Kyoto can no longer stay, it is better to find another way out and preserve the strength in the border town to rise again.

After a few days of rest, Shen's father and Shen's mother began to take care of the housework of the Shen Mansion. First, they will strive for a good fortune in the new year, and second, now that Shen's father's military power has been taken away, they are afraid that they will live in Kyoto for a long time, and they are afraid that it will be a matter of the future when they return to the border pass. Thirdly, Shen Jin also roughly explained about Song Heng in the letter, and the two elders decided to hold a marriage for them as soon as possible, so as to avoid long nights and dreams.

Shen's mother has been taking care of housework for several years, and she is familiar with management. I have long ordered people to start cleaning the house inside and out, and arranged special people to buy porcelain playthings.

Someone was in charge of clearing the snow to give the ground a new look, and someone was in charge of buying new crucian carp and sending it to the crucian carp pond. Under the arrangement of Shen's mother, the Shen Mansion has successively shown a new side.

Shen Nanyan has already been in the summer for a year, and will be seventeen in the summer. Judging from Da Liang's customs, she can get married at her age, and besides, she and Mu Zhao are also truly in love, and it is a natural thing to get married. When the two get married, Song Heng is powerful, and it is impossible for him to snatch his wife with his courtiers. Even if he has this idea, the people of the world are afraid that the civil and military forces will not follow.

The two elders hit it off, and Shen Jin also agreed very much after knowing it. Hurriedly wrote a letter to ask Mu Zhao, Mu Zhao was very ashamed after receiving the letter, and hurriedly instructed Xie Sui to prepare a thin gift, regardless of whether he left his post without permission, returned to Beijing privately, and came to visit the Shen Mansion with Xie Sui.

It is said that the mother-in-law looks at her son-in-law more and more she likes it, and since Mu Zhao came to the house, Shen's mother's eyes have not been removed from him, shushing the cold and asking for warmth, all kinds of concerns. dwarfed by Shen Jin's own son, it is a little normal.

Compared with Shen's mother's kindness, Shen's father was majestic and kind, and looked at Mu Zhao with a little admiration in his eyes.

Mu Zhao gave birth to a good look, a pair of handsome and warm eyebrows, and a quiet and beautiful appearance with slightly lowered eyelashes, he sat there quietly, like a portrait of a beautiful son in the turbid world.

Just now when he walked towards them, Father Shen didn't blink his eyes, as if he saw an immortal-like immortal walking down from the sky, his steps were gentle and elegant, his back was as thin as a bamboo, and his crescent-colored brocade robe was cut just right.

Compared with his handsome face, Father Shen also has a very good impression of Mu Zhao's character, he has always liked polite, gentleman-like characters, and Mu Zhao's way of dealing with people happens to make Father Shen speak highly of him. Neither flattering nor humble, but living proudly.

For young people like Xiang Muzhao, Shen's father has always praised them, and praised them more than he liked, and now his baby daughter likes Mu Zhao, Shen's father is naturally very happy, first, his daughter looks like a fairy-like character, and it should have to be matched by a handsome and unparalleled son, who is talented and beautiful, which is a beautiful talk, and secondly, he can trust Mu Zhao's character, and he can rest assured that his daughter will be handed over to him.

Mu Zhao is humble and courteous, and he is also humble to the elderly, and it is easy to bring good impressions to people when he talks. This time and back, Shen's father and Shen's mother gave almost all their attention and attention to Mu Zhao, wishing that Mu Zhao was their biological son.

Seeing that his father and mother were so satisfied with Mu Zhao, Shen Nanyan was very happy in her heart, and looked at Mu Zhao with a smile and talked to Shen's father and Shen's mother.

"When you return, the marriage between you and Yanyan should be set by the two of you in private, and then tell me when it is set, and I will send someone to invite your father to discuss it together." Although Shen's father was far away at the border, he still knew a thing or two about Mu Zhao's family background, knew that Mu Zhao and Mu Fu were incompatible, and he didn't plan to discuss with Mu Zhao's father in person, so he only let the young people make their own decisions, and they were here to arrange the marriage. As for Mu Zhao's father, he didn't expect him to have an idea, just went through the motions.

For Father Shen's arrangement, Mu Zhao felt a faint warmth in his heart, and was very grateful to Father Shen for his understanding, so he hurriedly got up and hugged his hands and said, "The junior is rude!" How can this matter be bothered by General Shen to mention it in person, it should be mentioned after the junior personally visits him. ”

Although Daliang's marriage is the order of his parents, the words of the matchmaker, the Ming media is marrying, and the three media and six appointments must also go through the "six rites", that is, Nacai, Najib, Nazheng, invitation, and personal welcome.

Nacai means that the man's family invites the matchmaker to the woman's house to propose marriage. If the woman's family agrees to the marriage, the man's family formally proposes to the woman's family, and the formal proposal must bring a live goose as a gift, so that people can accept the intention of their choice. Now that he and Shen Nanyan have decided to be together, he should have asked the matchmaker to go to Shen's mansion to propose marriage, instead of letting Shen's father ask him himself.

Father Shen has never paid attention to these red tapes, and now that the situation is grim, how can he still consider these problems, although he said that he didn't have to care about Mu Zhao's words, he was still relieved in his heart, although Mu Zhao and Shen Jin were good friends, and they could trust his character, he still had worries about Shen Nanyan in his heart, he was afraid that their Shen Mansion would be too active, and it was inevitable that Mu Zhao would not despise Shen Nanyan in the future.

"This matter will be handled by us and Ah Jin, and you will be responsible for taking care of my Yanyan for the rest of your life, no matter what, you must not let her be wronged in the middle." Mother Shen handed Shen Nanyan's hand into Mu Zhao's hand and said earnestly.

Mother Shen's words meant that she was relieved to hand over her daughter to him, Mu Zhao took Shen Nanyan's hand, and raised her other hand solemnly promised: "Father-in-law, mother-in-law, please rest assured, I will do my best to be good to Miss Shen, love her for the rest of my life, and take care of her." Unless the loess is white, I will keep her years worry-free. ”

It was an extremely bland oath, but after the latter sentence, the meaning became extremely deep, unless he died and turned into a pile of bones, he would definitely let her live a carefree life.

Shen Jin watched with satisfaction as Mu Zhao made his promise, and was glad that he had chosen him in the first place. With him being good to his sister all his life, he can rest assured.

Unless the loess is white, he guards her years without worry. Hearing this, Shen Nanyan wanted to cry a little, he abandoned his insistence, and would rather not be the one who would stay with her in the future, and he was willing to wait for her all his life.

Maybe Song Heng's incident hit him hard, so he would rather give up the opportunity to stay together than let her have no worries. Was he trying to sacrifice himself to fulfill her?

He knew that she disdained this kind of fulfillment, and the two talked about the story of Liang Zhuhua butterfly and peacock flying southeast in their correspondence that day, and they agreed that if the two truly love each other and have the same heart, there is no need for one to sacrifice for the other, and the two bear it together, face it together, and die together.

So that day, Song Heng threatened her with his life, and she did not choose to give in, but was determined to die together.

No matter what caused him to give up the belief they had always held, Shen Nanyan was unwilling.

She didn't want him to give up what he had been holding on to for himself, and she didn't want him to be hurt in the slightest for himself. If he changes because of her, then her existence is meaningless.
