The Boudoir Chapter 29
Shen Fu thought about it for a while, and seemed a little dissatisfied, "The dried meat is too greasy, and there are many similar foods at the evening banquet, if I want to eat, where will I come back hungry?" ”
When Chen Yun heard him say this, she immediately felt that he was very hypocritical, now that it was the hour, some of them were good to eat, but they were still picky eaters. Shaking his head and preparing to walk away, he suddenly heard a gurgling sound in his stomach, Chen Yun couldn't help but laugh when he heard the sound, and a pair of eyes as round as Jin Ling narrowed by two points in a moment, "I knew that you were picky when you had a meal, so I prepared a meal for you!" ”
Shen Fu looked surprised, cheered and jumped closer, pulled Chen Yun's blue peony embroidered cuffs, and asked: "I know that you are the best for me, tell me quickly, what meals have you prepared, I don't like to eat it!" ”
Chen Yun saw that he was happy, and he was also happy in his heart, so he put on his cloak and turned around and walked towards the house, "You won't be able to eat enough in the morning, so after dinner, I didn't have a moment of idleness, I cooked a bowl of jujube kernel longan porridge, put it on the stove, simmered it over low heat, and left a plate of sauce and eight treasure dishes, a plate of jade bean cake, I don't know if you like it or not?" ”
"Like, like!" Shen Fu's voice was short, one end kept up with Chen Yun's pace, and the other end said flatteringly: "Sister Yun is so considerate, I don't know how to repay it!" ”
Chen Yun saw the orange felt curtain in front of it, and remembered that there were still many maids and women in the hall who were chattering their teeth. She was worried that if she talked to Shen Fu more, it would be easy to provoke the maid to laugh, so she lifted the warm curtain and did not step back into the house.
Shen Fu saw her patronizing and walking, ignored himself, and hurriedly followed.
Entering the warm pavilion, Shen Fu followed closely behind Chen Yun, and saw his mother Chen and Jin sitting on the central couch, chatting about family life with the faint light emitted by the red candle on the Douqing glazed carved lion candlestick, and then squinted his eyes, and saw Shen Xueyuan and Shen Xueru's two cousins around the black lacquer inside and outside the gold flowers and birds, and the dragon and kang, were laughing and playing with a few little girls in Chunyan Chunrui.
"It's considered home, if you don't come back after a while, I really think that your grandfather wants to spend the night in Zhu's mansion?" Chen said as she got down from the hardwood carved mandarin duck couch, and as soon as she took action, the set of red ground plain silk embroidered cat locust flower deer pattern placket on her body immediately lit up.
Shen Fu saw his mother coming down from the couch, without saying a word, he walked up and said, "Master Zhu is kind and insists that we stay for the night, but the eldest uncle refused, saying that Sister Qing is out of the cabinet, and there are many things to do in the house, and there are still things to do when she comes back, so it's not good to delay over there." That old lady Zhu is also a person who understands, and knows that everything cannot be forced, so he let Master Zhu not have to force him to stay, and ordered the servants in the house to set a few carriages, so that he could send us out of the house! ”
While listening, Chen went up and touched Shen Fu's hands. Feeling that Shen Fu's palms were very warm, but his fingers were a little stiff, Chen carefully rubbed his son's hands, and said casually: "I heard earlier that the old lady Zhu has been participating in Zen and enlightenment for three years, and he rarely shows up. By the way, if you are at the side today, can you see whether the old lady Zhu is in good health? ”
Shen Fu recalled the scene at the wedding banquet, and couldn't help pursing his lips and smiled: "Old lady Zhu's pear eyebrows and hair, although she looks drooping and old, but maybe it is because of her perennial participation in Zen and enlightenment, the whole person looks like a fairy style, and the standard is super easy, and she looks like a master outside the world!" ”
Chen Shi was silent, took Shen Fu's hand and walked five or six steps before he cared again: "It's been cold recently, can there be wind and snow on the road?" ”
"I know how to take care of my body, I sit in the carriage on the road, and my cloak is tightly covered, how can I easily be dipped in the wind and snow?" Shen Fu spoke happily, and after helping his mother Chen to sit down, he found that Chen Yun was glaring at him on the side, so he went with Chen Yun under the pretense of a name.
Chen saw that the two of them were rubbing oil under their feet, and the kung fu of the smoke disappeared, knowing that the two were playing in private, he didn't interrogate at the moment, but turned his head to Jin and said: "This time, my sister-in-law is busy with things outside the house, almost so busy that her feet don't leave the ground, I look at it coldly, it's really strange and pitiful!" ”
Jin smiled faintly, picked up the blue and white porcelain bowl, took a small sip of some Yunnan Pu'er tea, moistened his throat, and then opened his mouth and said: "Reasoning, I can't fight with the eldest wife, she doesn't trust me as an outsider, and she doesn't worry about entrusting me to help check the dowry, which is also understandable, but you and her are concubines, why doesn't she come to work for you?" ”
"Who knows? People's hearts are separated from their stomachs, and only she knows what she cares about! Chen was obviously a little unhappy, and after adjusting his sitting posture slightly, he took an octagonal copper wrapped in a lotus lotus-colored swallow grass cover from the handmaid Chunzhi.
"But then again, it's a good thing that my sister-in-law doesn't come to me for help, otherwise, if I answer it, if the middle measures are not appropriate, where is there a mistake or omission, then, the sister-in-law will come to question me again, I really can't explain it with a hundred mouths!"
When Jin heard this, his face was full of surprise: "No matter how you say it, you are also concubines, why do you tear your face for a little thing?" ”
Chen shook his head and said in a pessimistic tone: "How can it be? In this world, the closer people seem to be, the easier it is to hurt their feelings because of a little thing! I am a concubine with her in name, but in fact the relationship is weak, although it is not possible to talk about the accumulation of incompatible, but in the first few years, when the three families were separated, the east and west mansions were very ugly, and even our concubine also fell into a knot! ”
Jin heard it clearly, and began to realize the complicated relationship in the courtyard of the deep house, and invisibly worried about his daughter's future situation.
In this wall compartment, Chen Yun took the food from the small red clay stove and carefully placed it on the purple lacquer painted gold landscape pattern begonia-style incense table.
Shen Fu was already struggling, and at this moment, he couldn't wait for Chen Yun to send him a porcelain spoon, so he grabbed the spoon and held it in his hand, and then quickly picked up the blue and white porcelain bowl and sucked a large mouthful of jujube kernel longan porridge.
Chen Yun sorted out his clothes and sat opposite, and couldn't help but persuade: "Slow down, people are eating, but you are naan!" After the ridicule, Chen Yun couldn't suppress the love in her heart, and said with a smile: "No wonder people say that rich children have to eat to prevent choking, walk to prevent falling, you look at your eating appearance, I can't wait for the autumn wind to sweep away the fallen leaves and eat clean in one go!" ”
Taking a big gulp of porridge, Shen Fu pretended to be angry and glanced at Chen Yun, who was chattering.
Chen Yun saw that his eyes revealed boredom, and he condemned himself in his heart for talking too much, and was about to open his mouth to do a small low, but saw Shen Fu put down the big bowl of blue and white porcelain entwined peonies, looked at her fixedly, and said: "Eat fast and eat slowly, don't they all end up in the stomach, what difference can there be?" ”
Chen Yun was humorous when she heard this, and giggled: "There are many crooked reasons for you!" ”
Shen Fu didn't refute, just blindly immersed himself in the vegetables and drank the porridge, and soon drank a bowl of jujube kernel longan porridge, and begged Chen Yun to serve another bowl with a dead face, Chen Yun couldn't resist him, so he had to get dressed and stay, and walked to the small red clay stove and slowly served a bowl.
The silver charcoal in the brazier was about to burn out, and the house was warm, but outside the house was cold and snowy, the silver snake danced, and a few branches in the green pine were overwhelmed by the snow and snapped, and even the snow fell heavily from the air, smashing into the snow five inches deep, splashing scattered snow particles.
Shen Xueru heard the movement under the window, and immediately stood up and looked out the window a few times, because she saw that the snow was shining outside, and she was planning to go out for a walk.
Shen Xueyuan sat facing her face, and when she saw that she couldn't wait to get dressed and stand up, she hurriedly glanced at the remaining dim sum dregs in the carmine water glaze dish on the kang table, and then took a moment to look at the blue bird Chaofeng silver horse face skirt, and said with a smile: "Sister, where are you going?" ”
Xue Ru smiled: "I have been crooked on the couch for a long time, the whole person is very unenergetic, and the hour is not early at this time, go out to enjoy the snow scene, and go back to rest by the way!" ”
Shen Xueyuan pursed her lips and said, "It just so happens that I'm tired too, so I'll accompany my sister for half a journey, and then go back to each courtyard!" ”
Xue Ru pursed her lips and smiled, and was about to turn around and leave, when she suddenly heard some laughter coming from the back room, so she turned her black and white eyes and searched around, and sure enough, she couldn't see the shadows of Shen Fu and Chen Yun, so she muttered: "These two people meet every day, and they are not too tired!" ”
Shen Xueyuan saw her muttering to herself, she was very curious, leaned over and listened carefully, it turned out that she was picking on Shen Fu and Chen Yun's thorns, and couldn't help but smile and said: "When you have a sweetheart in the future, you will know if the two of them will be tired!" ”
Shen Xueru was teased, and her face was ashamed, and her face was half red and disgusted: "Sister! ”
Shen Xueyuan's pink face was full of spring, her nose fluttered, she pulled Shen Xueru's cuffs hard, and said with a smile: "Let's go!" ”
"Don't worry!" Shen Xueru was stunned, and suddenly had an idea, grabbed Shen Xueyuan, who was about to leave, and said, "Let's go tease them!" ”
Shen Xueyuan's face was full of surprise, and immediately grabbed Shen Xueru, "It's not good, people whispered behind our backs, they didn't want us to hear it, let's do it, don't say hide away, but go up to listen to the foothills, if they find out, they won't be angry?" ”
Xue Ru said generously: "What are you afraid of?" We're just teasing and teasing them, and we're not going to give birth to mustard! ”
Shen Xueyuan listened, tightly holding the moon-colored embroidered silk begonia handkerchief, and his flickering eyes revealed the hesitation in his heart.
Shen Xueru saw her hesitation, so she simply said excitedly: "If you don't go, I'll go by myself!" ”
As soon as the words came out, Shen Xueru walked towards the back room in a dignified manner, Shen Xueyuan took off the handkerchief, and saw that she had already walked more than ten steps, and her heart was horizontal, so she simply followed.
Walking to the door in a blink of an eye, Xue Ru was not in a hurry to go in and break the two of them, but leaned close to the rich bamboo in the colorful eighteen arhat jars, and shouted loudly: "Sister Yun, Sister Yun, have you slept?" If you don't sleep, I'm going to go in!" ”
Chen Yun was biting her ears with Shen Fu inside, unprepared for Xue Ru coming suddenly, and in an instant, she was so frightened that half of the three souls and six spirits were lost, and hurriedly responded: "Sister, it's late now, I'm tired all day, I'm ready to sleep, if you have something, you might as well come back tomorrow!" ”
After a casual perfunctory remark, Chen Yun glanced at Shen Fu sideways, then held his breath and listened to the movement outside.
