Chapter 16: The Moon
Wupinju is located in the most prosperous area of the capital, densely populated, quiet but not noisy, most of the people who come and go here are literati and scholars, sons of families. There are very few civilians to stop here, because even if you come, you can't afford to consume, Wupinju's delicacies and dim sum are specially hired from all over the country to hire more than 30 cooks at a high price to carefully make, the wine is not to mention that it has been brewed for more than a hundred years, the wine is mellow and sweet, and it is hard to find.
Even if the children of the family come here to consume, they are embarrassed to come here to spend without bringing enough thousand taels of gold. It is said that Wupinju is the hell of the poor and the paradise of the rich, which is not true, some people are extremely poor all their lives just to come to Wupinju to eat a delicious meal and have to struggle for a lifetime.
But if you can get into a relationship with the boss behind Wupinju, you don't have to pay out of pocket when you come to Wupinju to consume.
Continuing back to the question, Wupinju is located in a prosperous area, and it is densely populated, why is the environment here quiet and not noisy?
This has to mention the private room here in Wupinju, the walls here are made of special materials, the sound insulation effect is extremely good, it is the best choice to talk about things in the private room, even the people outside the door may not be able to hear clearly.
After Shen Jin and Mu Zhao arrived at Wupinju, they picked an exquisite private room, and ordered Xiao Er to bring a few pots of aged wine and add a few special side dishes.
While waiting for the wine, Shen Jinzhi walked away and closed the door.
Seeing Shen Jin so mysterious, Mu Zhao said suspiciously: "Brother Shen, what do you want to tell me?" ”
Shen Jin's face didn't ease up, and he said stiffly: "I have it." ”
Mu Zhao nodded, making a gesture of deferential listening.
"What do you think of my sister?" Shen Jin didn't sell Guanzi either, and Brother Mu didn't call him anymore, he called his full name and asked straight to the point.
Mu Zhao was slightly surprised: "It's excellent." ”
"Okay?" Shen Jin glanced at Mu Zhao inexplicably: "Then do you like her?" ”
The corners of Mu Zhao's mouth felt a little bitter, why did anyone poke a knife in his heart today, Shen Nanyan came to ask him why he went to Huainan and didn't tell her? Now Shen Jin came to ask him if he liked Shen Nanyan again.
He just silently loves someone, and secretly has thoughts that he shouldn't have, why does the world seem to be unable to get along with him, and reminds him of this matter all the time.
"Naturally, I don't like it." Mu Zhao said as usual, without a trace of ups and downs and waves in his voice.
"That'll be fine." Shen Jin breathed a sigh of relief, and finally let go of the heart that had been hanging for many days: "Brother Mu, my brother can't stand you, I just lost my temper at you, I also know that this is not good, but I have to do this." ”
Mu Zhao didn't know what Shen Jin was talking about for a long time, and he didn't have the extra mind to think about it again, he only knew that when he said the three words "don't like" just now, his heart was already slightly painful, the pain changed from shallow to deep, and it was like a knife twisting, his heart seemed to be oppressed, and the pain made him breathless.
After Shen Jin said this, he didn't see Mu Zhao's answer for a long time, and when he looked at him, he found that he was speechless, his face was pale and weak, his hands were tightly clenched on his chest, and he was squatting on the ground, sweating profusely on his face.
"What's wrong with you?" Shen Jin hurriedly stood up and walked to his side to support him: "I'll go and order someone to call a doctor." ”
"No...... With ......, you ...... Let Xie follow...... Come in...... "Mu Zhao was out of breath in pain, endured the pain, and spit out a few words intermittently.
"Okay." Shen Jin was a little uneasy, but knowing that Mu Zhao had always been proper, and he was afraid that it would be too late to ask for a doctor now, he carefully supported him on the chair before going out to call someone.
Xie Sui came quickly, almost rushed into the house, and after carefully checking Mu Zhao, he took out the purse he was carrying from his body, took out a brown pill, and fed it to Mu Zhao.
Shen Jin saw that after Mu Zhao was subdued, his complexion gradually returned to ruddy, so he was relieved and asked, "What's wrong with your son-in-law?" How can it be that for no reason, the face is pale, and the pain is unbearable? ”
"This is my son-in-law's old illness, Shen Gongzi doesn't have to worry about it." Xie Sui was afraid that Mu Zhao would choke, so he poured a cup of tea from the teapot on the table, and carefully filtered out the tea residue inside before feeding it to Mu Zhao to drink.
This coherent action is as pleasing to the eye as the clouds and rivers of his peers, and the Tao provokes Shen Jin to look at Xie Sui a few more times, he has always known that the people around Mu Zhao are proper and careful, but it is better to hear than to see, compared to the two, he is a little ashamed of himself.
"Then what kind of pill did you just give your son-in-law, but there are adverse reactions" If it is easy to use, remember to prepare a few more pills. Mu Zhao is his brother and friend, seeing that he is not feeling well, he has to ask everything properly, so as not to cause him to be alone in the future, and if today's situation happens again, the consequences are unimaginable.
Knowing that Shen Jin really cared about his son-in-law, Xie Sui was not ambiguous, and told him in detail: "This is a heart-nourishing pill, which is specially designed to protect the heart, in case the heart is under too much pressure and the pain is out of breath." My son-in-law has suffered from heart disease since he was a child, and this kind of thing often happens, and it can be alleviated by taking a heart-nourishing pill when it happens. ”
"In that case, remember to follow your son-in-law at all times, and don't let him be alone." Shen Jin instructed.
Xie Sui nodded in response.
It didn't take long for Mu Zhao to wake up, his face was a lot more rosy, and the person who was in unbearable pain and sweating on his head was like two people, but his pale lips were enough to glimpse his pain.
After Shen Jin saw that Mu Zhao woke up, because he was worried that he was committing an old illness, he asked Xie Sui to wait in the private room next door, not too far away, in case he couldn't find anyone.
It happened that Xiao Er served wine and food, Mu Zhao naturally couldn't drink, Shen Jin ordered Xiao Er to bring a healthy ginseng soup and red dates and black rice porridge that nourished the heart and spleen, and enjoyed those pots of aged wine alone.
"Brother Mu, political affairs are political affairs, you still have to pay attention to your body, don't worry about irrelevant people in order to deal with those trivial matters, and exhaust yourself." Shen Jin persuaded and explained, Mu Zhao's personality he knows best, he likes to carry everything on himself, no matter how small or big the errands he does, no matter how complicated or complicated, he is always unwilling to trouble others, all of them are on himself, plus he is not willing to admit defeat, he is as gentle as jade on the surface, but he is extremely stubborn in his bones, and the things he has decided will hardly change, and dealing with political affairs is naturally time-consuming and laborious.
"I'll pay more attention in the future." Mu Zhao was a little pale, but he still replied with a smile.
Seeing that Mu Zhao's complexion was a little better, Shen Jincai continued to talk about Fang Cai's topic: "Brother Mu, I'll continue to talk about Fang Cai's topic. ”
Mu Zhao looked at Shen Jin and said a little weakly, "Brother Shen, please speak." ”
"You went to Youzhou during this time, didn't there be a Baifeng Mountain hunting activity, I and my sister also went that day, when I went to hunt in the depths of the dense forest, I asked her to wait for me in the same place, I didn't expect to meet an assassin, almost hit the arrow......"
Mu Zhao's heart suddenly rose to his throat and asked, "Is Miss Shen in trouble?" ”
"That's not true, it's just that what surprised me was that the emperor sacrificed his life for her at that time to block arrows."
"Really?" Mu Zhao's mood was a little complicated, he just roughly guessed his feelings for Shen Nanyan based on Song Heng's actions, but he underestimated Song Heng's love for her.
If you don't love it deeply, how can you give up your life to defend it?
"When I heard this, I had a conjecture in my heart, and it was verified later......," Shen Jin told Mu Zhao the general plot.
"Why did Ajin tell me this?" After listening to this, Mu Zhao looked directly at Shen Jin and asked.
Mu Zhao's eyes are ethereal, as long as you look at him, your mind seems to be seen through, Shen Jin avoided his eyes, and said bluntly: "I told you this today because I wanted to ask you for something, I hope you can find an opportunity to cut off all contact with my sister, and never have to communicate with me again." ”
Shen Jin also knew that it was not good for him to do this, and letting Mu Zhao say such hurtful words so decisively and ruthlessly would not only make Shen Nanyan sad, but also make Shen Nanyan and Mu Zhao almost unable to be friends in the future, but only this method is the best way for now.
"Why did Ah Jin say that?" Mu Zhao was a little nervous, mistakenly thinking that Shen Jin was aware of his thoughts.
"Brother Mu, when it comes to this, I won't hide it from you, my stupid sister is not very old, she is young and easy to be swayed by children's affection, she is infatuated with you, so I want you to break her infatuation."
After Shen Jin said this, he breathed a sigh of relief.
Everyone in Daliang knows that Shen Nanyan, the daughter of General Shen, has a stunning appearance, cold and arrogant, and only a few months after returning to Beijing, she is comparable to the first beauty in Beijing, the Jade Concubine, and the two are tied for the first place. God favors her and also gives her a prominent family background, loving parents, and a handsome brother who is angry and angry.
However, Shen Nanyan is also a well-known beauty in Beijing, except for her parents and relatives, she always treats people lightly and rejects the sense of alienation thousands of miles away. I can't even think about who I like.
When he heard this, not only Shen Jin, but Mu Zhao was also full of disbelief, after a trance, then there was a sudden joy and inferiority, he was happy that he was not delusional, he was also her sweetheart, what is more happy than the fact that his sweetheart also likes himself.
After the joy, there was a strong sense of inferiority, she was obviously so beautiful, and she should not pay her heart for someone like him for a good time, and she missed this good time.
Song Heng disregarded his life and sacrificed his life to block arrows for her, and he would only talk to her about poetry and songs, he had not done anything for her, but she had enlightened him several times, he was not worthy of her liking.
If Song Heng is a red sun, destined to be sharp and shining on all things, then he is dust, destined to hide in the corner, difficult to see the light.
Once, he thought he couldn't catch the moon in the sky.
But the moon told him that he could.
