After being silent for a while, my heart became much brighter. Seeing that his face returned to normal, Shen He cautiously asked, "Son, I also ask you, what are your plans?" ”

Shen Mo smiled bitterly: "To be honest, I really don't have any requirements for marriage, as long as I look pleasing to the eye, be kind-hearted, be tolerant, and be more stupid, it doesn't matter who she is." ”

"And that's not a requirement?" Shen He chuckled: "Actually, in all fairness, Miss Lu is also a good match." ”

"The problem now is not Miss Donkey or Miss Ma, but I have been, I have ......" Shen Mo was unexpectedly difficult to say.

Shen He saw at a glance that his current performance was exactly the same as that of more than half a year ago, and he couldn't help but shout: "Could it be that you have made a private decision for life?" ”

Shen Mo said with embarrassment: "It can't be regarded as a ...... It can only be said that a commitment has been made. ”

"Which girl?" Shen He was more interested in this.

At this time, there was no need for Shen Mo to keep his mouth shut, so he hid some things that should not be said about the experience between himself and Miss Yin, and briefly told his father, and the old man's eyes were round when he heard it, and he couldn't wait to ask, "Where are you two going?" Is it already like glue? ”

"Daddy...... Where do you want to go? Shen Mo smiled bitterly and said: "Except for that time, I haven't even spoken to her, but ......" couldn't help but sigh and said: "But who made me stand up?" ”

Shen He scolded with a smile: "Look at the one who wronged you!" Full of Shaoxing City, the young lady of the Yin family looks like a fairy, not to mention, but also a female stream, taking care of the huge family business prosperously," said with admiration: "What is even more rare is that people still have a bodhisattva heart...... Let's take the time when Bao Tongyuan had an accident, nearly 200 people died in the bed, and she actually paid 2,000 taels of silver alone, which is 400,000 taels of silver. ”

"400,000 taels, our Shaoxing Mansion's annual tax is only 800,000 taels in cash, and she will take out half of it at once. Even if the Yin family has a big business, there is not so much cash at once, and Miss Yin finally sold more than a dozen farm shops at a loss to get together the money. I saw Shen He sigh and said, "I know how difficult it is to do business now." Besides, it was the widows who made trouble that time, and no one asked their family for this money, but Miss Yin gritted her teeth and compensated everyone...... This is not false benevolence, but true benevolence! ”

The old man finally concluded: "If you can have such a daughter-in-law, your father's face will be too bright." After thinking about it, he gave Shen Mo an intuitive comparison and said: "There is more light than the county master." ”

"I didn't expect you to be quite satisfied, Dad," Shen Mo smiled bitterly: "But your old man has done things like this, how can we clean it up?" ”

"Since it's Miss Yin, Dad, I don't want to put on this old face, and I have to save this game." Shen He slapped the table and said arrogantly: "Anyway, there are still three books and three ceremonies, let's just not play with them!" ”

"How can it be that simple? People have already created a momentum, and all the people in Shaoxing think that it is our Shen family who is begging others, but now unless the Lu family itself does not agree. Otherwise, we really can't go back. "If you regret it, in the eyes of others, it will become a child's play on the marriage event, and I am afraid that no one will marry her daughter to his family.

Going deeper, Shen Mo is now considered a person in the officialdom, and Nashilin's reputation has become extremely important. If you fall into the notoriety of 'absurd', 'frivolous', and 'untrustworthy', how can you mix it up in the future?

Shen He said angrily: "Who wanted to marry first?" I, I'll talk to them about it! ”

"Forget it." Shen Mo said with a bitter face: "Now we are yellow mud falling into the crotch of our pants, and we can't tell it at all." ”

It's hard for these two to ride a tiger...... On the twenty-ninth day of the lunar month, Shen Mo was worried at home, when he heard a burst of chickens and dogs jumping outside, followed by the low shouts of the soldiers: "This girl, you can't go in." ”

"If I don't go in, then call your adults out!" Hearing the voice with resentment, Shen Mo couldn't help but whisper: "Paint screen! I wanted to go out of the back window. Halfway through the action, he stopped and said, "I'm already sorry for others, and it will be too tasteless if I run away again." ”

Secretly cheering himself up, Shen Mo finally raised his voice and said, "Let her come in, you all stay away." ”

There was a slightly strange sound of consent from the soldiers outside, and after a while, the curtain was lifted, and the girl with an angry face appeared in front of Shen Mo.

I haven't seen her for half a year, she is thinner and more feminine.

After only glancing at Shen Mo, the painting screen quickly lowered his head, and the tone of questioning also changed: "You...... Do you really want to marry Miss Lu? ”

Silent but said softly: "You have lost weight......"

One sentence made the painting screen red, and the red lips trembled slightly, and there were many things in my heart that I wanted to say to him, but when I said it, it became a sentence: "You...... Where do you want to leave my young lady? Obviously, Miss Yin has already told this close friend about the matter.

Shen Mo said softly: "You shouldn't ask ...... this"

"I don't ask, who asks?" The painting screen suddenly became angry, and the apricot eyes stared at Shen Mo and said, "You, you, you...... You are not a good person, you are trying to force my young lady to death?! As he spoke, he counted him down: "Do you know why my young lady went out to smash pots and sell iron, and also had to pay for the boatload of more than 200 people?" Is it to calm the conscience? No! She doesn't want to discredit you! I don't want people to say that you married a cold-blooded businessman who only recognizes money and doesn't recognize people! ”

"Pity her before she can do anything, a heart begins to think about you! You're good, what you said in front is good, but you're climbing up the high branches in the back! Our young lady found out, she didn't eat for five days and five nights, and then she fell seriously ill again, and almost died! Thinking of the miserable appearance of the young lady at that time, the painting screen was so angry that her eyebrows rose up, and her face flushed: "You broke my young lady's heart, not to mention, but also made my old master anxious and angry, and the old illness recurred." You Chen Shimei, you are really harmful! ”

Hearing this, Shen Mo interrupted her with a wave of his hand and said, "Don't say anything, take me to Jing to plead guilty." ”

"It's too late! What did you do earlier? The painting held his breath and said bitterly: "My young lady has become a monk." ”

"Marriage or ordination?" Shen Mo asked with wide eyes.

"Phew......" The painting screen spat out: "She is wearing a tie dress, not a wedding dress, do you say she is married or a monk?" ”

"What? How can you think so badly? The silence was incredulous.

"My young lady is a good woman who is Bingqing Yujie!" The painting was broken, and he lowered his voice and said angrily: "How can you still marry someone who has been so light and thin as you?" She didn't bother to blackmail you with this, so she escaped into the empty door......"

"In which nunnery is she practicing?" He said in a deep voice.

"You don't care about that!" Picture Ping glared and said, "I'm here to deliver a letter to you, let's see for yourself." As he spoke, he took out a plain letter from his sleeve.

Shen Mo took out a look, and saw a few lines of small characters written on Xue Tao's note, which was a poem:

"It is as white as snow on the mountain, and as bright as the moon in the clouds. Wen Jun has two intentions, so he decides to do so.

The past was unbearable, and now I will mention it again; On the ditch, the ditch water flows from east to west.

Please don't mind, you don't have to beg to get married. May you have a lover, and your head will not be separated. ”

A farewell poem just told him that the two had nothing to do with each other, neither a little reproach nor a little grudge. Like a proud princess, there is no need for sympathy, no need for charity.

But the more this is the case, the more Shen Mo's heart is like a knife cut, he really hates the bastard Lu County Order with three catties now, and of course himself, if he had explained it to his father earlier, there would not be all this bullshit today.

When he came back to his senses and was about to write something for Miss Yin, he saw that the picture screen had left at some point.

Shen Mo kicked over the brazier, and the entanglement in his heart tormented him to the sky and screamed, startling the guards outside, and ran in to see that the carpet was on fire, and quickly brought water to extinguish the fire, and beat it with a broom, and when the fire was extinguished, the whole study became a miasma, and it was a mess.

Shen Mo was already standing in the courtyard, and said to the father who rushed to hear the sound: "Anyway, I won't go down this dowry." ”

"What then?"

"No matter, love whoever you want!" Shen Mo said angrily: "Anyway, I won't give this letter of appointment!" ”

Shen He sighed, patted him on the shoulder and said, "Child, you have long been an adult, and Daddy believes that you will be able to handle this matter well." ”

Although Shen Mo didn't know the bottom in his heart, he still nodded.

On the day of the Chinese New Year's Eve, he didn't bring anyone, went out to the Yin family alone, and wanted to come to the door to make amends, but the porter politely told him that the old man and the young lady had gone to the other place for the New Year, and they didn't know when they would come back.

He asked again where the picture screen was, and the porter told him that he was not in the house either. He went to Yiheyuan, and finally knocked on the back door, but the young man told him that Sister Huaping accompanied Leng Chaofeng to the countryside to soak in salt springs for treatment, and he was not at home.

In the sound of firecrackers, Shen Mo came out of the alley alone, and when she walked to the intersection, she remembered that she was also here, and she lifted the curtain and smiled sweetly at herself. He couldn't help but be in a trance, rubbing his eyes, but he didn't see anything.

There is only one empty street.
