Chapter 45: The Old Man, the Story
"Our family is looking for Mrs. Shen, can Lord Shen make it convenient?"
The person who came was the chief eunuch Bai Yu who was serving beside Queen Jiang, this chief eunuch was unexpectedly young, and he was a little handsome, but in Shen Fu's opinion, he didn't treat him very well, just because this little eunuch was a little similar to Song Zhao, especially the eyebrows, Yu Yu eyebrows, and peach blossom eyes, but his demeanor was not the same, so only Shen Fu, who was quite familiar with Song Zhao, could see this, and Empress Jiang included such a eunuch similar to his uncle in the palace, which naturally made Shen Fu unhappy, not to mention that now, it is clear that Empress Jiang has someone in the Shen family, Hearing that Zhou Yun was about to fall into trouble, she specially sent Bai Yu over to save people, how could she make Empress Jiang happy?
"Father-in-law Baiyu, is the queen mother in good health now? I haven't entered the palace this year, I haven't seen my mother for a long time, I miss it a lot, as for Your Majesty, I haven't seen it for a long time, and I ask my father-in-law to say hello for me, how about it? ”
The smile on Bai Yu's face was slightly stiff, before in the palace, Niang Niang asked him who would come with Chiwu, he should only come to the Shen family for a while, it was a beautiful difference, and he fought to take it, but he forgot that there was still this precious ancestor of the Song family and the Son of Heaven in the house, and he couldn't help but sigh secretly, thinking of Chiwu's seemingly loyal face, he was even more annoyed: You are a bad-hearted Chiwu, I thought I knew this was the case, so I deliberately didn't compete with me.
But now that Shen Fu is in front of him, Bai Yu can't retreat even if he wants to, not to mention that Shen Fu has something to say, in those years, since he was a humble little eunuch, he saw the grace of heaven that fell on Shen Fu, overlapping into clouds, in his memory is clear and clear, he still remembers that when he first saw the little ancestor in front of him, he had just entered the palace and was taken to the imperial study by the so-called godfather, what did he see at that time?
Seeing a little girl carved in pink, giggling in the arms of the Son of Heaven, there is a lady standing next to her, saying that it is a lady, it is not very accurate, to this day, he still remembers that Mrs. Rong Ruochunhua, the style of the soul and the color, she is so good-looking, it seems that she will never get old and ugly, the four words of old pearl yellow have nothing to do with her, and then from many people's mouths, or gritted teeth, or sincerely admired to know, the pink carved girl is the cousin of the Song family on Changning Street, and the lady is the aunt and grandmother of the Song family.
These extremely heavy words are still pressed on his shoulders, the pampered white fish in the palace was bent back, bowed to Shen Fu obediently, and Song Zhao's eyebrows and eyes were somewhat similar at this time, and the dust in his hand hung down on the ground with his movements, completely contaminated with dust, he spoke, like ice water, and Zhou Yun's heart was cold: "Our family strictly obeys the girl's orders, and the girl must also be well born, Your Majesty heard that the girl was sick, and he was really worried." ”
The hustle and bustle around was stagnant at this moment, only that girl, standing in front of the person from the palace, Mrs. Shen, and even Shen Chen, all bowed their heads respectfully, not daring to offend the red people around Empress Jiang, but Shen Fu was like in the clouds, looking forward to it, in a place where no one could see, revealing the ice and snow, her eyes fell from the clouds on the back of the white fish, and she remembered the son of heaven in the palace in a trance, and the bright yellow gradually encroached on the memory and sight, from childhood to now, in her memory of the New Year, there are men with teeth and claws, no, it should be said that the weather is solemn flying dragon, but this year it was the first time she had not been able to enter the palace, and with the bright yellow color entering her memory, there was also a man's light or heavy cough, which made Shen Fu's heart soft again.
Since I think of the old people in the palace, Shen Fu treats the white fish, and he is a little embarrassed, knowing that today's Jiang Houbaoren, even if she has the son of heaven as a backer, but she also needs to know that the whip is beyond reach, the former dynasty and the harem are separated by a thick palace wall after all, and today so far, it is the extreme: "My father-in-law told Your Majesty for me, the pearl is not dark, please rest assured, as for the mother to see her mother, your father-in-law, please take someone back to the palace quickly, don't let the mother wait for a long time." ”
Bai Yu looked up in surprise and joy, but suddenly crashed into Shen Fufei's eyes and looked forward to it, his expression was full of energy, and the lady he saw back then coincided with one place, the bright light was like a spring day, but he didn't dare to be greedy, only follow his duty, hurriedly and hesitantly left the Shen family, when the sound of cars and horses in the palace left the weeping flower gate, and the smoke and dust dissipated, the cautious Shen Chen was completely relieved, but he quickly mentioned that his eyes were difficult to see, like a dark night on Shen Fu's body, this year's affairs were heavy, he actually forgot the son of heaven in the palace, although there was no reward for his daughter, But it's almost a well-known love.
But Shen Fu didn't know about it, the hands that were cleaner and softer than the first snow in winter were gently pulling his sideburns at the moment, and the two jadeite pendants with excellent water head were swaying lightly on the side of the snowy neck, this was the jewelry left by Song Xingyun to her, the jade light was soft, in Shen Chen's opinion, it was like a sudden return, and he was a little obsessed.
There was no sound under the hanging flower door, Shen Fu pinned his loose sideburns behind his ears, waiting for Shen Chen to say something, so as to do superficial work, but he couldn't wait for a long time, he couldn't help but look up, but saw Shen Chen's eyes full of remembrance, his eyes fell on her, but through her looking at others, the tenderness in his eyes was like water, and he was about to overflow, which she had never seen before, in her opinion, the emotions that should not exist between the eyebrows in Shen Chen's heart.
"Father, it's windy at the door, it's time to go back."
Shen Fu didn't want to see this kind of feeling, and resolutely opened his mouth to interrupt Shen Chen's thoughts, Shen Chen woke up like a dream, the two father and daughter walked to the house without a word, the snow suddenly fell in winter, and the long man held an umbrella for Shen Chen, but Shen Fu suddenly left the ancestral hall and borrowed the main courtyard and had no umbrella available, she only pulled up the hood to cover it, but Shen Chen suddenly turned around, took the bamboo umbrella in Changsui's hand, and stuffed it into the hands of Songting, Shen Fu's head was so close to his father, and Shen Chen was the same, Shen Fu's commonly used acacia fragrance came from the silk, and when Song Xingyun walked with him with the umbrella, What he smelled was the same, maybe he thought of something, Shen Chen rarely saw Shen Fu gently: "This umbrella is for you, you have been weak since you were a child, and you were grounded in the ancestral hall at first, because you didn't think about it for your father, and you can rest after you go back." ”
Shen Chen's behavior made Shen Fu secretly vigilant, she only felt that Shen Chen's sudden concern was too suspicious, especially after the previous back-to-back grounding, she was even more reluctant to get close, hearing that Shen Chen's so-called inconsiderate consideration, she sneered in her heart, but what surprised her even more was still to come, after Shen Chen handed over the umbrella to Songting, he did not leave immediately, but looked at Shen Fu's face that was more similar to Song Xingyun, more like a god, and quite similar to himself, with gentle eyes: "You also know this matter, your mother has the support of the palace, If you dwell on it, nothing good will come of it, but if you are willing to settle the matter, the Father will try to compensate you as much as possible. ”
Hearing this, Shen Fu's heart jumped, but in fact, she also knew that it was impossible for the child in Aunt Qi's womb to be reborn, and Zhou Yun climbed up to Queen Jiang slightly, no matter what, it was impossible for her to snatch people from Queen Jiang, and now Shen Chen offered to compensate, which was already an unexpected joy, but it was the first time she was treated like this by Shen Chen from her previous life to this life, and she was inevitably vigilant, and she couldn't be directly pierced, so she had to bend her knees and speak tamely.
"Father loves Zangzhu, Zangzhu has a heart, and there is nothing wronged, but Aunt Qi, the loss of her beloved son, and Han Ming is blind because of this, it is really pitiful, not to mention that the grandmother is not easy to deal with, Zangzhu is willing to share the worries for his father, if his father takes Aunt Ning into the house, he will naturally block his grandmother's mouth, and then let Aunt Qi stay in the house for a long time, it is also comforting, I don't know what my father wants."
She just tried to see what Shen Chen could do, but something unexpected happened to her again, Shen Chen listened to her list of things, but did not open her mouth to refuse, just listened silently, and after she finished speaking, she spoke slowly, with a calm and earnest expression: "Qi clan and Han Ming, I naturally agree, but the matter of Xianning still needs to be discussed with your mother, you go back to the Tibetan Pearl Courtyard, and in a few days, go to the palace for a walk." ”
Shen Fu was surprised in his heart, but he still bowed his head, the two fell silent again, walked together without a word, passing through the main courtyard, Aunt Qi led someone to stand at the door and wait, but Shen Chen did not enter the hospital, but sent Shen Fu to the Tibetan Pearl Courtyard before leaving, he treated him like this, which made Shen Fu suspicious in his heart.
"Girl, what is Ah Lang doing, I see him looking at you, as if he is looking at Madame through you......"
It is naturally difficult to be grounded in the ancestral hall, the master of Songting Fang is busy making porridge for Shen Fu, the white jade-like rice is stewed soft and glutinous, and the hot steam is steaming in the celadon, the porridge bowl starts, and the cold of midwinter is dispelled warmly, Shen Fu is comfortable when he eats hot porridge, and his eyes are very lazy with half-squinted eyes: "He is looking at my mother, but he is too hypocritical, he has not been able to take good care of it for so many years, what are you thinking about now?" ”
The mocking expression on her face was like ice and snow in winter, extremely cold, she didn't have the heart to know about the old things between Shen Chen and her mother, but today Empress Jiang picked up Zhou Yun, it was obvious that she wanted to protect it, and she would definitely not turn the page easily in this matter.
Thinking of this, Shen Fu's eyes narrowed slightly, and his fingertips tapped the wall of the bowl with a certain rule, making a crisp sound, the nephrite jade hit the pillar still can't be forgotten, she will not let go of the culprit, Song Tingfang saw that Shen Fu was thoughtful, and did not bother, and went straight out to be busy, these days when they were not in the Zangzhu Courtyard, the maids and women in the courtyard became more and more lazy, and even some people ate wine and gambled in private, so they had to be rectified and rectified, so as not to have accidents at night.
"Mother, what my son means is that the Qi family will stay in the mansion to be a serious aunt, and there is no need to go back to Zhuangzi, although she said that she failed to give birth to the pair of dragon and phoenix fetuses for the Shen family, but there is no merit and hard work, and this matter has caused Jing Zhaoyin, there is a royal history staring at it at any time, if the Qi family does not stay, the court is afraid that it will be difficult to deal with it."
In the main courtyard, Hongrui waited for Shen Chen to wipe his face and hands with hot water, and served Mrs. Shen with food, Qi's body was not happy, so naturally he couldn't serve it himself, Xian Ning has no name now, she is still a guest in name, so naturally she can't take her turn, as for Diecui, she naturally followed Zhou Yun into the house, so this matter fell on Hongrui's head.
Old Madam Shen was motioning for Hongrui to taste the shredded chicken soup with winter bamboo shoots, listening to Shen Chen's words, there was no big reaction, the clear soup entrance, she took another chopsticks and eggplant and ate it slowly, before putting down the dishes and chopsticks, and sent Hongrui to get the mouthwash tea, and said unhurriedly: "What you said is reasonable, I don't know as well as you about these things in the court, but how does Xianning treat you, I think you also know that you still have compassion for the Qi family, but don't forget Xianning." ”
