Chapter 168: Goodbye
"What are you waiting for me for? I won't have any candy for you to eat......" Looking at the room, thinking silently about things, he blurted out a little bit of a distraction.
Shen Mo wondered, Shen Li was not at home on a business trip now, and the housekeeper had more affairs, how could he still have the kung fu to wander around the courtyard of the Shen Mansion.
The housekeeper glanced at the silence in front of her and found that she was absent-minded and did not listen carefully to herself.
But he was already anxious, and he couldn't show it, so he could only hold it in the bottom of his heart, which was very uncomfortable.
"Miss Hui, my son and puppy haven't been back for two days, and now I don't know where to go."
The housekeeper was full of sorrow, and he blamed himself, blaming himself for only dealing with the affairs in the Shen Mansion these days, ignoring the little dog, and now he found that the little dog was gone, and it was too late.
"Oh...... Look at my memory, I actually forgot such an important thing, I forgot to tell you before. ”
Shen Mo suddenly remembered, slapped his forehead, and blamed himself for not telling the housekeeper in advance, and now the housekeeper was so anxious to find the puppy, and thought he had lost it.
"Butler, don't worry, I asked Xiaohuan to take the puppy out to play, and they will be back in two days."
The housekeeper listened to Shen Mo say this, and the stone hanging in his heart was considered to have landed, Xiaohuan had entered the Shen Mansion to serve the eldest lady since he was a child, and he was sensible and capable, so the little dog went out with Xiaohuan, and he was also very relieved as a father.
"Listening to what the eldest lady said, I was also relieved, and I caused trouble to the eldest lady."
The housekeeper had already guessed in his heart that this was the result, and in the entire Shen Mansion, the little dog and the little maid were closest to the eldest lady in front of him.
His son and puppy were lost, so he probably couldn't get rid of the eldest lady in front of him, so he came to ask with the mentality of trying it out, but he didn't expect it to be the case.
Shen Mo shook his head, the little dog was witty and flexible, so he could rest assured that he was by Xiaohuan's side, and Xiaohuan was bullied stupidly.
"Xiaohuan, that girl is good at everything, but her brain is not very bright, in short, she is stupid, so I asked the little dog to accompany her, but I forgot to tell you sorry before......" Shen Mo did not turn his head and stared at the room in front of him absentmindedly, and explained a little distractedly
"The little dog can do something for the young lady, and I am very comfortable as a father, and there is nothing to be sorry for." The housekeeper in front of him sighed and knew his son's whereabouts, and his hanging heart also fell to the ground.
I happened to meet the housekeeper, and I just happened to be able to talk to him about the puppy's apprenticeship, after all, the puppy's talent is so high, if you don't find a master to cultivate, it's really buried.
"The little dog is so talented, I wanted to introduce him to the master, but that old guy had already promised not to accept the apprentices, but it was a little tricky...... "Shen Mo thought secretly in his heart
glanced at the respectful butler in front of him, and made a decision in his heart, and said:
"Butler, I just want to discuss something with you, you can come to the Golden Jade Pavilion with me."
Shen Mo felt that this matter was about the future of the puppy, and it was not something that could be said clearly in a few words, and he really needed to talk to the housekeeper.
The housekeeper didn't know why, he didn't know what the eldest lady was going to talk to him about, but seeing that she had a serious face, she was afraid that there was something important, so she didn't dare to say anything, so she could only follow along, after all, the eldest lady was also the master of the Shen Mansion, and she should be respected as a subordinate.
"Miss, if you have something, you can say it, you don't have to be polite."
The butler craned his neck and looked out of the door to make sure that there was no one around, and there would be no ears on the partition wall, and then he quietly closed the door, lit candles in the room, and respectfully stepped aside.
The housekeeper is actually reasonable, the eldest lady of the Shen family has watched him grow up since he was a child, although he has no protection from his wife, he is also well-behaved and sensible, and he has always stayed in the Jinyu Pavilion, not as good as the Yuan family and the second lady of the Houjin Gate.
For so many years, the housekeeper also knew that the Yuan family and Shen Yan were people, but because of his status as a subordinate, he didn't dare to comment arbitrarily, so he could only bury his head in things.
After all, if you offend your top boss, then you can only protect yourself, let alone help the eldest lady in front of you.
So any smart person will save himself before thinking about protecting other people's affairs.
Sometimes watching them bully the eldest lady, I am also more than capable of doing it.
What can I do other than lament the injustice of this world?
People are sometimes as powerless as they are now.
Silently poured tea for the butler and sat aside.
"It's about the little dog, he often comes to the Golden Jade Pavilion, I also like him very much, I noticed that he learned carving by himself, and after bringing his works to the master to see, they all praised him as a highly talented talent, I thought, is it better to find a master for him to train?"
Shen Mo didn't hide it, after all, the housekeeper is the father of the little dog, he has the right to know the situation of the little dog, and this is not a bad thing, who doesn't want their children to get ahead.
And the old ghost before nodded silently after reading the child's work, according to the old ghost's words:
"Although these carvings seem to be ordinary, they secretly contain the way of heaven, after all, everything will be familiar with the way after a long time."
The butler was first startled when he heard this, and then he was silent.
"I thank the eldest lady for my little dog's cultivation, but everyone has their own way, and I don't think that kid has such blessings." After thinking for a long time, he said lightly
Shen Mo crooked his head and asked suspiciously, "Why do you think so?" ”
He sighed and said with a wry smile on his face: "How can I, a father, be unfamiliar with my son's affairs, I have already discovered that he has the slightest extraordinary. ”
"It's just that his family is forced by his family, he is my son, even if he cultivates it, he will not be the day when the carp jumps into the dragon gate."
In fact, these words contain some lies to some extent.
After so many years of raising a puppy, I have never taken good care of him and accompanied him seriously, and now even the puppy has such a big ability and needs others to tell him.
"You don't have to be presumptuous, I have seen your Danqing wonderful pen that is simply a miracle in the world, with a father like you to guide, the little dog will definitely shine."
Silent eyes rolled the little star and said excitedly.
I didn't expect that I was just a mere housekeeper, and the eldest lady would trust herself so much.
Thinking of this, the housekeeper's eyes were red, he had achieved nothing in his life, and he was just a housekeeper in the Shen Mansion, and he had no ability to give the puppy a stable home.
The little dog's mother is the housekeeper's childhood sweetheart, in order to wait for the housekeeper to succeed in the imperial examination, it is ten years, no matter how much the family scolds and complains, he refuses to marry, just to marry the person he likes.
Thinking of this, the regret in the housekeeper's heart instantly became like a pool of lake water, and a wave was released, and then it was like a torrent that could not be stopped.
Failure after failure knocked the butler out of his mind, burned all the books, and gave up on himself.
In the end, after being taken care of by his family, he entered the Shen Mansion as a small handyman and became a poor scholar with no money and no power.
And the mother of the puppy never left to accompany the housekeeper until eight years ago, in order to give birth to the puppy and died.
Maybe everyone has their own destiny, and in the end, they can only be separated by yin and yang forever, and the housekeeper once noticed that the little dog's eyes became particularly gentle like his mother.
Losing his most beloved person, the housekeeper blames all the fault on the little dog, believing that it was his arrival that took the life of his beloved.
So gradually, in order to escape the pain, he also deliberately snubbed the puppy, unwilling to keep him around, and even made up an excuse.
So he used his adopted son to keep the puppy by his side, just let him eat and drink, regardless of whether it was warm or cold.
"Butler, the little dog is a good boy, leaving him in the Shen Mansion is burying him, he needs more space, he is the same as Xiaohuan, I regard them as younger brothers and sisters, so, I hope you can agree with me, for the sake of the little dog's future, agree."
The housekeeper in front of him would never know what a great face Shen Mo gave him by being willing to accept them as his younger brothers and sisters.
It is extremely difficult for someone as vigilant as Shen Mo to be willing to drop everything to pick up those two people like this.
Shen Mo didn't want to force the housekeeper, but she also knew that the housekeeper was old and didn't want to be alone.
Maybe he should think about these things, maybe he was too anxious.
At the moment, I also regretted a little, but as soon as the words came out, I couldn't take them back, and I could only stare at the ground faintly, waiting for the little dog and his father's answer.
"Miss, it's me... I'm sorry for the puppy all these years, I'm really not qualified to be a father..."
The housekeeper fell on the table and sobbed, how much of a bastard he actually blamed all the blame on his own children, after all, everything was his own incompetence and inability, if he succeeded in the scientific examination, the two of them would definitely live well until now.
People will always run away from pain, and they will always turn a blind eye to the mistakes they have made.
If a person is willing to really face up to the mistakes he has made, then he is undoubtedly a very brave person.
Silently patted the butler on the shoulder, if the little dog saw his father apologetic to him, he would definitely cry sadly.
"You don't have to be so sad, butler, who can say for sure what is going on in this world?" Shen Mo gently patted him on the shoulder
"People are always at the mercy of fate, only the closest people can get together, and me and the little dog are such fateful people." Silent, his eyes were a little blank as he looked at the candle flame on the table.
"Butler, life is in the world, there are nine times out of ten unsatisfactory things, let it pass in the past, the puppy is still young, he shouldn't bear so much."
Shen Mo has always felt sorry for the little dog, sorry that he didn't have a good childhood, sorry for him to be sensible so early, and now that she is reborn, she will naturally help him well.
"Miss, just do as you say, I will pay back the debt to the little dog slowly."
The housekeeper looked sadly at the bright moon hanging high in the sky, and he didn't know what he was thinking, but the corners of his eyes were slightly moist, and some tears seemed to be shed.
There aren't many things in this world that can make him cry.
When he first fell off the list, he gritted his teeth and didn't let himself cry, and he didn't let himself cry when the dog's mother left, but today he was silently said to cry......
The housekeeper has gone through vicissitudes, and the years have smoothed his edges and corners, and now the only one who can rely on him is the little dog.
Maybe the only way I once owed the puppy was to pay it back to him in this way.
This can be regarded as an explanation for the little dog under Jiuquan, and the housekeeper secretly made a decision in his heart that he could not go wrong again if he took a wrong step.
"I believe that when the puppy returns from school, he will take you home to enjoy the rest of his life."
Looking at the steward in front of him, Shen Mo naturally guessed his thoughts.
Shen Mo nodded secretly in his heart, and finally put his mind at ease, the matter of the little dog is now settled.
Shen Mo will definitely find a good master for the little dog and let him learn all his skills.
Originally, the master who had decided to be an old ghost was the old ghost, but the old ghost shook his head and said that he was not carving this piece of material himself.
It's okay for the old ghost to teach him some martial arts, but if it comes to carving, I'm afraid it will really waste good materials.
The housekeeper nodded gratefully at Shen Mo, and received the gift of the eldest lady, and he would repay him as a cow and a horse in the next life.
In fact, silence is such a character, when she wants to help others, even if others don't say it, she will speak.
But when she is unwilling to help others, she may not be moved by others begging for herself.
"It's not early, butler, go back and rest, the puppy will be back in a few days, don't worry."
Shen Mo sent the housekeeper out of the Golden Jade Pavilion, and then he went to fetch a basin of water to prepare for washing.
Shen Mo stretched out his hand, and there were still some abrasions on the palms of his fingers, but they were bumped by others when they passed by before.
It's just that she was afraid that Zhun Tur would be sad, so she didn't say it.
This day is really tiring, the poetry festival is noisy, and the body is very tired at the end of the day.
"Yo, my sister is ready to go to bed so early? My sister's congratulations almost didn't arrive. ”
Shen Yan took the maid and twisted into the Golden Jade Pavilion, smiling with bad intentions.
The maid behind her thought helplessly: "I forgot the pain when I just got the scar, and I came to trouble again, isn't this asking for trouble?" ”
"I thought my sister would be sad to leave the field so early and go home, her eyes are so red, she must have cried, right?"
Shen Mo glanced coldly at Shen Yan, who was beside him with a contemptuous expression.
Shen Mo was also a little annoyed in her heart, what she encountered today was extremely unsmooth, but she also ran over in the middle of the night to disturb her rest, if it was changed, everyone would be annoyed in her heart!
Although Shen Mo won the title of champion today, this was not what she wanted, it was all the result of Ye Tingchen's own initiative to let her come to power.
As soon as he thought of this silence, he was angry, and when he saw Shen Yan coming over to look for the incident again, he naturally wouldn't show mercy.
But the look of silence in front of him was also gritted his teeth in his heart, and he thought, "What if you have already won the championship?" I have to put on a look of pity for me, as if you are the most miserable in the whole world. ”
"You..."
Shen Yan was speechless because of the silence, and quickly asked Lan'er to see if her eyes were red.
"I said Shen Yan, there is no audience now, you don't have to be coy, today you defeated Wu Yi, if it weren't for me, Shen Fu's face would have been lost by you."
Shen Mo was a little sorry for Wu Yi, and he could only pull her in order to teach Shen Yan a lesson.
"Damn this girl, she dared to talk to me so arrogantly when she snatched my first place, who does she think she is?" Shen Yan almost couldn't hold back the anger in his heart and thought.
"The poetry ceremony is more talented and writing, you are dressed like a girl in the Qinglou, aren't you afraid that others will laugh off your big teeth? Or are you desperate to fight for the eyes of Lord Wu? ”
"Qinglou, what did you little just say? Who are those bitches in Qinglou, you say that I am actually dressed like those shameless women, you say it again......" Shen Yan's eyes widened, gritted his teeth and looked at the silence in front of him, and he fainted with pleasure.
Shen Mo clasped her hands on her chest, she never thought of revenge for Shen Yan, and she tried her best to restrain the hatred of her previous life, but the dirty things she did at today's poetry ceremony really made people angry.
If some people are not punished lightly, I am afraid that they will only climb on your head and show off their might!
"Silent, silent, you are talking about me now but righteous words, you clearly didn't do anything, but you won the championship, you are simply a slut."
As soon as Shen Yan spoke, a silent slap fell on her face in an instant.
A crisp crackling sound was clearly audible in the quiet room, and everyone fell silent.
Shen Yan looked at Shen Mo in disbelief, covering his burning cheeks.
The maids all gathered around to see if their master was injured, but when they saw the cold eyes of the eldest lady, no one dared to step forward.
"What are you doing...... What are you looking at me for, you want to see my jokes, don't you? "All of them are back for me, after saying this, Shen Yan slowly turned his head, staring at the silence in front of him like a poisonous snake.
"Why did I come to power, this is a good thing you did, if you didn't buy those people, I guess no one would know that I was silent, at that time you were just defeated by the eldest lady of the Wu family, but now, you are defeated to me!"
Shen Mo's eyes were thorough, and it was even more cold in the moonlight, and Shen Yan's scalp was numb for a while, she was too unfamiliar with such silence, and she didn't dare to do this to herself since she was a child.
obviously robbed everything of himself, obviously everything is better than himself, what happened to his symbolic revenge on her?
She actually dared to do it to herself, and the feelings of grievance at the moment gradually rose from the bottom of her heart, and she could explode at any time.
He did hire those people to let them coax Shen Mo to come to power, but it was self-defeating, Wu Yi knew her, and she still owed Shen Mo a favor, so she directly gave the championship to Shen Mo, the slut.
Isn't that what you deserve? You robbed me of so many things, can't you get a little bit back? Shen Yan thought to himself.
"Listen, I'm not so easy to bully when I'm silent, do you think you can hide from me with those little tricks of yours? I just don't bother with you. ”
Shen Mo was condescending, staring directly at Shen Yan, who was already sitting on the ground with frightened legs, his voice was low, but it hit people's hearts.
Shen Yan didn't know why he was so scared, looking at Shen Mo's current appearance, he actually just wanted to run away quickly.
But this is her own home, and she has her mother and father to support her, and she is silent about what she has and nothing.
Shen Yan wanted to scold Shen Mo for a sentence or two, but she had studied some classic books since she was a child, so she naturally couldn't scold anything indecent, so she could only weakly spit out a sentence:
"Shen Mo, when Daddy comes back, I will let him punish you well!"
Shen Yan made a note of the slap that Shen Mo gave her today, and she will definitely return it in the future.
The silent eyes were slightly cold, and a touch of impatience rose in his heart, and he secretly thought:
"Every time I quarrel, it's like this, I just move out of my dad to press me and show off? Is it to show off what I have, no relatives? Thinking of this, the silent eyes turned slightly rosy.
"What would you be without your parents? But I'll only move out of my dad to press me, and I have the ability to win me with your real material! The voice of silence with staring eyes roared loudly.
"Punish me? What to punish me, to punish me for being the champion of the poetry festival, or to punish me for beating my half-sister for being unable to move? ”
Silent and playful smile, his eyes were cold and ruthless, dealing with Shen Yan was just a piece of cake.
When I thought of my tragic life experience, this sentence gradually seemed a little weak, more like an emptiness.
Silence seems to be complaining that God did not give him a warm home, but was so broken that the family was broken.
Who could have known that the silence that had been extremely dazzling at the poetry meeting before would return to that miserable little girl as soon as she got home.
Shen Yan unconsciously touched her wrist, last time Shen Mo directly crushed her wrist bone, and now she still wants to beat her hands and feet.
However, since Shen Mo dared to make a move on himself, Shen Yan did not dare to act rashly, after all, if Shen Mo was forced to really make a move, only himself would suffer.
At that moment, the moonlight outside the window suddenly shone on the green frost scattered all over the ground.
"I don't have a maid in Jinyuting, if I hurt you, no one will send you back."
Shen Yan looked at Shen Mo hatefully, gritted his teeth angrily but couldn't do anything, now Shen Mo, a cheap woman, has come into contact with the outside of the house, met more people, and learned martial arts from her teacher, she can't act rashly if she wants to listen to her mother's words.
"Silent ......" Shen Yan's footsteps to leave suddenly stopped, slowly turned his head, his eyes were like two knives, staring at Shen Mo in front of him like two knives, and spit out a sentence lightly:
