Chapter Twenty-Nine: It's finally time to go home
Finally, looking forward to the stars and the moon A-Ning finally looked forward to the day when he could go home to visit his relatives during the holiday in the house, his heart was like an arrow, and A-Ning was absent-minded when he worked that night, and he kept thinking about what medicine to bring to his mother the next day, and add a new pair of shoes to his father, his mind had already flown away, and put the calligraphy and painting that the third young master had just drawn into the wastepaper basket as waste paper, "If you want to stay for one more day tomorrow, you can continue to throw it," Shen Qianfeng said in a flat tone, as if it was not a painting that he had drawn, and A-Ning realized that he had thrown away the painting that the third young master had just drawn.
Put the ink-stained painting on the table next to him, and hurriedly stopped his hand destroying the next calligraphy and painting in the wastepaper basket after painting, and hurriedly took his mind back, feeling that time passed too slowly, every minute was so long, and he wished that his feet could grow out of Shen Mansion and go home directly.
Finally got up to the time when Shen Qianfeng wanted to rest, A-Ning directly put down the work in his hand and ran faster than a rabbit, Shen Tingfeng only felt that there was a white shadow around him and passed at once, A-Ning ran out of the door and jumped to the residence, "When were you so happy" A red figure in the pavilion asked, holding a wine jug. "I can leave the house tomorrow, and I can finally go home to see my father and mother," A-Ning said in a very excited tone.
"It's good to be carefree" Shen Mubai looked at A Ning's innocent face and said, he has borne too much since he was born in this prime minister's mansion, and his mother is just an unfavored concubine of the Korean general's family.
But his mother is neither favored nor the power of the mother's family, a person in this huge Shen Mansion, from the day of entry has suffered too much humiliation, Mrs. Shen relied on herself to be the emperor's sister, on the night of the mother's wedding, let the mother stay alone in the empty room, the second day deliberately locked the door of the mother's room, let the mother come out at noon, said that the mother did not follow the rules and did not understand the etiquette, punished the mother for kneeling for a day and a night, and Shen Xiang turned a blind eye, or thanks to Shen Tianfeng's second lady to intercede to let her mother kneel for a while.
In the days that followed, Mrs. Shen knew that the second lady was Shen Xiang's heart and did not dare to act rashly, but a person with the status of her own mother, Mrs. Shen was too easy to deal with, and someone did it without even moving her fingers, from the food she ate to the clothes she wore, the places where she could move her hands and feet, if it weren't for the fact that the second lady had been helping her mother in the house, I am afraid that she would have died in the hands of Mrs. Shen.
However, the poor second lady was framed by Mrs. Shen on the day of childbirth and died, her mother was pregnant with herself, and it was from that that that time that the mother learned to protect herself, the mother was originally beautiful, but she lived cautiously since she was a child, and never dared to show herself.
In this way, I barely survived for a few more years in the Shen Mansion, a house that eats people and no bones, but unfortunately I still can't resist Mrs. Shen's calculations, Mrs. Shen deceived her mother into going to the temple to pray for blessings, and her mother was unwilling to go, but Mrs. Shen lied to her mother, saying that she had gone to the temple on the mountain, and her mother was worried about her own safety.
I have never been able to forgive myself for so many years, that day the eldest brother was rare to be good to himself, he wanted to take himself out of the house to ride a horse, watch the shadow puppet show on the street, at that time Shen Tingfeng stood at the door blocking himself from letting himself go, but at that time, he was playing in his heart, thinking that Shen Tingfeng just wanted to go together, he was jealous that the eldest brother took him without him, and he also pushed Shen Tianfeng to it, and then ran out with the eldest brother.
That day, I rode a horse in the horse farm outside the city, and my mother didn't let me play these on weekdays, for fear of danger, so I played for a long time that day, and watched a shadow puppet show with my eldest brother at night, which was the plot of agarwood saving my mother, and I chattered all night, and then I fell asleep, and when I woke up again, I saw that everyone in the Shen Mansion was wearing white.
I didn't even see the last side of my mother, my mother was put into the coffin, I was young at the time, I felt like a dream, Mrs. Shen also wore a white dress, hugged herself and said that she was pitiful, but only Shen Tianfeng in the corner stared at Mrs. Shen viciously, her mother suffered humiliation when she was alive, but she didn't expect to have such a grand scene when she died.
My grandfather, who is rare to see on weekdays, came to see his daughter, who has not been favored since she was a child, and Shen Xiang, who had no feelings for her mother, even shed two lines of tears, but she felt so strange when she looked at everything in front of her, and her mother was still waiting for her to go back in that small courtyard, but where is her own mother in the world, and she no longer has the mother who can still hold herself in her arms when she gets into trouble, and suddenly envy the agarwood in the shadow puppet play, at least he still has a place to save his mother, But I can't find it anymore, I blame myself, if I didn't go out at that time, wouldn't everything be different, his mother has suffered so many grievances, he hasn't grown up yet, how can he be gone.
Shen Xiang was afraid that he would be sad, and he also gave himself to the eldest lady to raise, but the funny thing is that after that day, the eldest brother was like he didn't know himself, and even almost drowned himself, thanks to Shen Tianfeng himself, he survived, and it wasn't until he told himself the truth of the matter before the maid who followed his mother since he was forced to die, and he knew that he recognized the thief as his father, but he was still young and couldn't turn over the wind and waves, and that Mrs. Shen was not simply not a pampered person, and there was a group of killers in the rivers and lakes behind her.
Later, he indulged in the world of lust and sensuality, during which he also met Chu Baiyuan, a reclusive master on the rivers and lakes, and studied with him for five years, and walked step by step to the position of the master of the Shadow Gate with his own hands, but he has not done it to this day, first, Mrs. Shen's back is involved in the royal forces and some dark organizations on the rivers and lakes, and second, Shen Qianfeng told himself back then, he wants to do it himself, and he believes that Shen Tianfeng's ability will not let him down.
Thinking of this, Shen Mubai poured himself a deep sip of wine, closed his eyes to hide the regret in his heart, "The fourth prince is the most carefree person in the world, he lives a happy life every day, he doesn't have to run around for a living, he is born with a noble identity and does not have to work hard for his career, A-Ning is very envious of the life of the fourth prince." A-Ning said enviously.
"Yes, at ease, born noble" Shen Mubai said with some self-deprecation in his tone, looking at Shen Mubai like this, A-Ning suddenly felt that today's Shen Mubai was different from weekdays, A-Ning couldn't say it, he was usually such a free and uninhibited person, what happened today, I felt very sad, was it because I disliked my background and was not my son-in-law.
Ah Ning looked at Shen Mubai like this and suddenly felt a trace of pity in his heart, and couldn't help but get closer and said, "There is no one in the world who can still drink in the courtyard at such a late night and is more carefree than you," "Do you want to drink too, come, I invite you to drink, let you and I be the most carefree people in the world," said Shen Mubai smiled and raised the wine jug in his hand and handed it to Ah Ning.
Ah Ning pushed Shen Mubai's hand away and said, "Fourth Young Master, I don't drink, you're drunk so late, it's time to go back to sleep," Ah Ning said and prepared to leave. "You conscienceless girl knows that I'm drunk, and you don't send me to rest," he raised his arm to let A-Ning help him, A-Ning was very speechless, this is like a drunk person, and he is full of anger when he speaks.
"Young master go back by himself, A-Ning is going back to the room to rest, I believe the young master can" A-Ning was afraid of pulling and pulling with the fourth young master and hurriedly said goodbye to the fourth young master, before leaving, A-Ning glanced at it and saw that the fourth young master was still carrying the purse he embroidered for him on his waist, which made A-Ning very surprised, thinking that the purse he embroidered was just the fourth young master's playfulness, and he wouldn't take it seriously, maybe he wouldn't bring it at all, and now it was hanging on the fourth young master, but it made A-Ning very surprised.
"It's really a sad girl, other girls are still in a hurry to send this son, in order to have a moment with this son Spring Festival is worth a thousand gold" Shen Mubai said with a joking tone, and deliberately aggravated the tone at the moment of the Spring Festival, originally A-Ning was also very surprised and moved Shen Mubai actually brought his own embroidered purse, and now it seems that the nature of the country is easy to change and difficult to change, it is estimated that it is fun and fresh, so he went back to the room faster.
The next day, A-Ning woke up early in the morning, and after grooming himself, he went out of the house, and went to the town to buy things to bring home, in the past, he spent money, but now he can not only make money but also buy things for his family, and although he is ridiculed and teased by Shen Tingfeng all day long, but Shen Tingfeng's monthly routine here is really high, and the grandmother who has been in the house for many years is only four dollars of silver, and A-Ning has five dollars of silver a month.
This money is enough for the family's expenses for a year, but now that my mother is sick, the expenses are also large, but now A-Ning can make money, and she will be able to buy good medicine for her mother in the future.
After buying these things, A-Ning finally cleaned up almost, and his hand was full, so he took these things home, on the way A-Ning heard that Brother Kong Yu seemed to be coming back, Kong Yu passed the written test and heard that the ranking was particularly high, although the final result has not yet been released, but he has obtained the qualification for the palace examination, and when the palace examination is over, he can get the champion, Tanhua, and the number of the eyes, and now he is returning to his hometown to prepare for the autumn palace examination, I heard that the county master of the town will personally pick up Brother Kong Yu, Ah Ning was naturally very happy when he heard about it, and he couldn't wait to congratulate him in person, Ah Ning has always believed in Kong Yu's ability.
