Furious, Shen Li didn't think much about it, and lifted the curtain and shouted: "Stop!" ”

Before the carriage stopped, Shen Li was about to jump out of the car, but Xie Shi hurriedly grabbed him: "Don't be in a hurry, and listen to the concubine's words again!" ”

Shen Li had already leaned out of the carriage half of his body, and when he saw his wife blocking him, he said angrily with red eyes: "What are you talking about, my aunt only has this bit of blood and bones, if there is really a case, I will not be able to atone for my death?" ”

Xie Shi didn't panic, just said: "I don't want to wait until Qiaoyue goes to Xiaojie, and it is also misunderstood, but I still heard this sentence 'Lancao, the second brother is going to die'." ”

Shen Li's eyes widened, and he slowly sat back into the carriage and said, "What the hell is going on, let's talk about it carefully." ”

Xie said: "Listening to Layue and Qiaoyue, the other party was wearing a coarse cloth filial piety robe, with a white head rope wrapped around her hair bun, and she was a teenage maid. ”

"Recognize the wrong person, recognize the wrong person twice?" Shen Li fell into deep thought.

"Not twice, it's three times. When Zhao's mother went to relieve herself, she also heard someone outside recognize the wrong person, and she said the same sentence. Xie said: "Master, the concubine looks at it, it seems that someone is deliberately spreading news outside." ”

The maids and adoptive mothers who traveled with the main mother, where would they go to the guest's house to go to the toilet one after another, but it was Xie who had the purpose of finding out the news, so he arranged for the entourage to listen to the news in the name of going to the toilet, but he didn't expect it to be crooked.

Shen Li was concerned about it, even if he heard that there was something strange about this, but he was worried about Shen Rui, so he gritted his teeth and said, "No, I want to go back to see Brother Rui." ”

Xie Shi pulled Shen Li's sleeve and said, "Xianggong is just a junior, even if he forcibly meets Second Uncle Rui, what can he do?" Even if Second Uncle Rui is really mistreated, there are still Lao An and his uncle above, just one sentence of negligence in handling funerals at home and slow treatment of slaves and maids, what else can Xianggong say? ”

Shen Li frowned and said, "Then sit back and watch?" There is no news of Rui Ge'er these days, it is obviously really dangerous, and the aunt was the most benevolent during her lifetime, and she thought that there were loyal servants who couldn't look past it, so she used such a crude means to warn. ”

Xie said: "Auntie's big event is not over, how many people are watching, if Second Uncle Rui is really seriously ill, the doctor will come to the door in the morning, it can be seen that it may not be a disease." Even if he is really seriously ill, Xianggong can't rob people by himself. No matter what is strange, it is better to spread it out in front of the clansmen. There are elders in the clan, even if Lao Anren and Uncle Sifang say something, there are people who can suppress it. ”

She looked at the problem from a woman's standpoint, and felt that even if there was something strange in it, she naturally thought of the discord between her mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, the rivalry between wives and concubines, and the "hatred of the house and the black", and she didn't think that Lao Anren could really hurt her grandson. As for Zheng Erniang, who was with Lao Anren, she was born in a scholarly family, and there was a rumor that she was about to be corrected, and she knew the truth that "people's words are terrible", even if she really regarded Shen Rui as a thorn in her side, she would not be stupid to harm people at this time.

Even if Shen Li is concerned about Shen Rui, he also knows that he has a low seniority, even if he is the champion, there is no reason to override the elders of the clan, and it is really difficult to stand up for Shen Rui alone.

He thought about it, still got out of the carriage, and said, "You go home first, I'll go to Uncle Wufang's house......"

There are many people in the clan who have been favored by the Sun family, and it is natural that there are not one or two people like Shen Li who pay attention to the Sun family's own sons. As surprised as Shen Li and his wife, there are many other relatives.

If the Sun family does not have Yu Yin in front of him, and all Shen Rui's calculations are not relied on, this is also a reward for good and evil.

On this night, the news of the "second brother's death" in the fourth room spread quickly among the clansmen.

*

Liu Ya hid in the corner of the wall, watching a female guest come out of the courtyard of Lao Anren, Fang breathed a sigh of relief and hurriedly returned to the courtyard.

After staying up all night and tossing outside for a long time, Liu Ya's face was full of exhaustion, and her eyes became darker and brighter, I don't know if there were more people in the afternoon, and the timidity on her body was also reduced.

Mother Wang was dragged by Shen Rui and never returned to the wing room, Liu Ya yawned twice after entering the room, and couldn't help frowning: "This has been resting for a while, why haven't you eased up?" ”

Liu Ya rubbed her eyes and said, "The more you sleep, the sleepier you get." ”

Shen Rui had already gotten up, leaning on the head of the bed, looking at Liu Ya.

Mother Wang frowned and said: "Spring sleepy, autumn and summer nap, I can't wake up in winter and March, there is a sentence that is true, but I slept too much during the day, and I was sleepy at night." The second brother hasn't slept today, so you are not allowed to disturb the second brother's good sleep at night. ”

Shen Rui had something to say to Liu Ya in private, and took the opportunity to say, "I want her to be on duty tonight." ”

Mother Wang was embarrassed: "Second brother...... This girl yawned a lot, I'm afraid she won't be able to stand it. ”

In order to drag Wang's mother, Shen Rui didn't sleep all afternoon, and slept less last night, when he saw Liu Ya yawning, he yawned as if he was infected, and said, "I can't stay up either." ”

Wang's mother yawned when she saw the two children, thinking that Shen Rui had slept enough during the day two days ago, and only then did he get sleepy at night. I didn't sleep today, and I will be peaceful at night, so I won't be verbose anymore.

It was already time to eat, and the big kitchen did not arrange for anyone to deliver food to the cross-courtyard side, and Wang's mother went to pick up every meal.

Although Wang's mother was not at ease, when the time came to get the meal, she instructed Liu Ya to go out in two sentences.

Shen Rui was already hungry, and when Wang's mother came out, she immediately took out a paper bag from under the pillow and opened it, picked up two pieces of rock candy and threw them into her mouth.

Liu Ya couldn't bear to say: "Is the second brother hungry, the little maid will steal her own food for a while and leave it to the second brother, and the little maid is hungry." ”

Shen Rui chuckled: "You can't eat it, wouldn't you be hungry in vain a few days before eating." The rock sugar was melted by the spit, and the sweet sugar water went straight down his throat, causing him to panic more and more hungry.

However, he didn't continue to eat, but handed the remaining rock candy with a paper package to Liu Ya and said, "Hurry up and eat, don't let Mother Wang see it." ”

Although Liu Ya didn't understand what he meant, he still honestly chewed the remaining few pieces of rock sugar, crumpled the paper bag into a ball, and stuffed it into the purse.

When Wang's mother came back, she still did the same as two days ago, and directly brought the food box to the outside, and called Liu Ya out to eat.

Even if the room is cold and cold, it is still difficult to stop the aroma of the food from evaporating. The slave and maid can still eat three meals a day, but Shen Rui, the little master of the patient, can only "skip lunch without eating" and have two porridges in breakfast and lunch because he is "losing the fire".

Shen Rui didn't need to go outside to look at the dinner table, he could smell the chicken and meat from the fragrance. Even if the Shen family is rich, it will not be a big fish and meat at every meal. It's just "Xiang Zhuang Dancing Sword Ambition in Pei Gong", ostensibly for Wang's mother to eat, but actually for his little master to smell the taste.

For the hungry Shen Rui, it was like a torture. Whoever arranged it was to catch a child's seven inches. Don't talk about the real nine-year-old child, it's Shen Rui, a pseudo-child, who is hungry, and he can't help but want to go out to grab food.

Shen Rui lay on the bed, pulled up the quilt, covered his head, pinched his nose, gritted his teeth and greeted the ancestors of the Shen family very warmly in his heart. But my mind was full of all kinds of dishes, and my saliva was bursting for a while, and my stomach was getting more and more happy.

Roast duck, roast chicken, braised fish, braised pork ribs, mutton soup...... All kinds of food pictures poured into his mind at once, and Shen Rui's eyes were red.

Under the torment, time becomes sticky.

When he heard the sound of Wang's mother leaving, Shen Rui lifted the quilt and sweated half a head on his forehead

Liu Ya walked in, looking shocked.

Seeing this, Shen Rui's heart sank, and he said, "What? But what's wrong with the next day? ”

Because he was afraid that the wall would have ears, he wanted to wait until the evening to ask Liu Ya to act in the afternoon, but now he couldn't wait. Liu Ya shook her head, pushed open the window to see, and confirmed that there was no one around, so she walked to the side of the bed, opened the purse, and there were two rice cakes lying inside.

Shen Rui swallowed and foamed, "Didn't you say you didn't need to keep it for me?" You're almost eating. ”

Liu Ya whispered: "It was given by my mother, saying that I was afraid that the little maid would be hungry at night, so I let the little maid eat hungry, but when I was eating, my mother said that she had no appetite, so she only moved two chopsticks and gave the remaining half of the bowl of rice to the little maid, and the little maid ate the meal for two people and couldn't hold it up, where would she be hungry?" ”

When Shen Rui heard this, he couldn't help but be stunned.

Liu Ya whispered: "Xu is Wang's mother left it to the second brother, but I don't dare to say it, I borrowed the little maid's hand to give it?" ”

Shen Rui sighed lightly: "Mother Wang is a good person. ”

It seems that Lao Anren's vision is really bad, and he chose this old and young to come out, looking like a wooden and a clumsy, but they are all people with good nature. Otherwise, if you really have to arrange two evil servants to sit in charge, it will not be easy for you to survive in a desperate situation.

Liu Ya is still young, and I don't know that this errand is dangerous. Mother Wang is an old man, and she is used to ups and downs, so she guessed Lao An's intention of choosing her and Liu Ya to "wait" Shen Rui. This old and young are all lonely, and there is no other person in the Shen family. Whether it is to let these two people "carry the black pot", or to have other disposals, it is extremely cheap.

Naturally, Wang's mother was willing to mention Shen Rui more and was willing to leave food for him, and the arrangement of "betraying" Zhang Lao'an's people in disguise was not just because of the word goodness. It's just that there is a stake in this, so there is no need to say it to Liu Ya. Realizing this, Shen Rui's heart became heavier and heavier. Since the old and the young "served" him, the fate of the three of them was closely related, maybe he thought too much, had a false alarm, or maybe it was really life and death.

When the palm lamp entered the watch, Wang's mother came to put down the curtain again, and instructed Liu Ya to go back to the wing room.

Shen Rui called Liu Ya into the tent, and the two of them met and whispered about the afternoon.

"In the afternoon, six ladies came to the courtyard of Lao Anren, and there were more than 20 adoptive mothers and maids, and seven people went to the toilet, three foster mothers and four maids. Most of them were brought by the elder sister in the courtyard of Lao Anren, but in the end, it was not easy to go in with them, so they were all waiting under the corridor. The little maid followed the instructions of the second brother, and the adoptive mother waited for her to enter the toilet and shouted outside. The maidservant sister should admit the wrong person, and say it while the other party didn't go in. Speaking of this, Liu Ya was puzzled: "Why do you have to say it one by one, if you meet two people in a family who go to the toilet, won't you expose it?" ”

Shen Rui said: "If you only play with one or two people, in case you meet someone who is honest and doesn't make trouble, wouldn't it be wronged to bury this matter in your heart as a private one." It is good to expose it, and the more strange it is, the more attention it will attract attention. ”

The master and servant can also be regarded as "sharing hardships", and Liu Ya's courage is a little bigger than last night, and she can't help asking: "Second brother is not afraid of having a lady who has a good relationship with Lao Anren, and tell Lao Anren this?" ”

Shen Rui said: "The more you have a friendship with Lao An, the easier it is to think more." If he knew that Lao An could ruthlessly attack his grandson, who would dare to befriend her unscrupulously? Such a private matter, just talk about it behind your back, but you can't talk about it on the table. ”

Liu Ya seems to understand whether she understands or not, but she is a little more down-to-earth in her heart, but she is sleepy, and she can't open her eyes as she speaks. Shen Rui remembered something and said, "Did that Lancao bully you?" ”

Because the old people are taboo, the adoptive mother who works in the yard of the old people is changed into plain clothes after only wearing three days of filial piety. Shen Rui asked Liu Ya to choose the name of the servant, and Liu Ya chose the bluegrass.

If the matter is leaked, Liu Ya can cover up a thing or two by hiding his face, and that bluegrass is afraid that it will be difficult to escape punishment.

Liu Ya lowered her head and whispered: "When the little maid was on an errand over there, she always asked the little maid to do her work, and also grabbed the maid's food, and often poked the little maid with a hairpin." ”

Shen Rui smiled, and the master and servant were placed separately.

After a while, Liu Ya fell into a deep sleep. In order to cope with tomorrow, Shen Rui can only endure it and open his eyes.
