Chapter 0072: The Sheep Enters the Tiger's Mouth
Shen Peiwei walked around the Ke family's garden for about an hour, and unconsciously walked out along the winding corridor, passed through the Moon Gate, and suddenly saw an inner study in front of her.
"Is this for my uncle or my cousin's study?"
Shen Peiwei guessed that because the father and son were not at home, she walked in with an inquiring heart.
The windows in the room are bright and clean, the shelves are full of books on both sides, and the furnishings are also very exquisite.
Ru'er Mei'er was tired of walking and sat outside to rest, Shen Peiwei walked to the bookcase alone, glanced at it curiously, and saw a brocade paper on one side, and picked it up casually to take a look, on which was written a poem of seven laws, titled "Jade People Come".
"Fleur out of the water wet red cheeks, Xiaolu Yingying smiled; Alone to the famous flowers to remember the country, incense waiting for the jade to come. ”
After reading it, Shen Peiwei's face was a little strange, knowing that the meaning of her cousin fell on her.
Ke Wendeng should have fallen in love with her at first sight, while Shen Peiwei could only say that she had a good impression of her cousin. Just because of the fear of blind marriage and deep distrust of his father, the appearance of the Ke family is like a timely rain,
I couldn't help but play with the poetry note, and in the face of my cousin's infatuation, Shen Peiwei said in her heart Although you have a heart for me, I am only afraid that my father's life will be disobeyed.
When she thought of her father's obstruction, she couldn't help but feel sad for a while, God knows who she will marry in the future? Or a thirty or forty-year-old official, or an old-fashioned and pedantic literati, it was a stomach grumble that triggered his talent, and he was just about to grind his pen and write a poem, but there was a shout outside, and it turned out to be his father's voice, which suddenly frightened Shen Peiwei to hurriedly put the poem in his sleeve and hurriedly walked out.
Dare to love Shen Jiamo yesterday in front of the birthday guests, he couldn't push it back, and the more he thought about it after returning home, the more he felt inappropriate.
Knowing that the little beast of the Ke family is not a 'good person', he only saw Pei Wei once last time, and he became infatuated, and begged Pei Zhixian to kiss, but he knew that he was a frivolous and lascivious young man.
Shen Jiamo has been an old prisoner all his life, and he feels that he is not as good as Pei Zhixian, nor is he as good as Master Ke who takes care of the family property, and all the food and clothing at his age have to be supported by the family, so the older he gets, the more unbalanced his mentality becomes.
With such a mentality, of course he didn't want to give his daughter to the Ke family for nothing. Thinking about it now, isn't her daughter living in his house a sheep?
So he ordered Shen Kan to pick up people early in the morning, but Shen Kan not only didn't receive it, but took a few people to drink a meal, and the housekeeper replied drunkly: "The Ke family said that they would send someone to send the young lady back in the evening, so that the little ones don't have to wait, they are coming back."
"What?" Shen Jiamo saw that even Shen Kan was drunk, and his heart became more and more frightened, and he scolded angrily and hatefully: "A group of useless things, the old man will go by himself."
Shen Kan hurriedly said: "The second sister will come back in the evening, why bother the master to run in person?"
"Get out of here!" Shen Jiamo was like an angry lion at this moment, personally escorting the sedan chair in a hurry, and took a few subordinates all the way to Ke's house.
He didn't need anyone to go in to report, he broke in directly, and the people of the Ke family didn't dare to stop him when they saw this.
Entering the inner house, Mrs. Ke was taking a nap, and there were only a few maids waiting outside the courtyard. Shen Jiamo called over a maid to ask, and when he learned that his daughter was not here, he was even more surprised, and asked with a gloomy face: "Where is my daughter now?"
The maid said, "The girl took her two sisters with her to wander around the garden, and later someone said that they went to the inner study."
As soon as he heard this, it seemed to add fuel to the fire, and Shen Jiamo sighed: "It's amazing!"
immediately turned around and strode out, looking around the neighborhood, but couldn't find Shen Peiwei's figure, which made Shen Jiamo very impatient, and shouted all the way to beat his chest: "This time the little slut is going to do something ugly that insults the family's reputation, how can I have the face to see my father!"
Headless flies were bumping around, and suddenly a little girl came over, Shen Jiamo hurriedly stepped forward and asked, "Where can you see Miss Shen playing now?"
The little girl was startled, and said, "I just saw Miss Shen go to my son-in-law's study."
When Shen Jiamo heard this, he was instantly so angry that the three corpses jumped up and stole cigarettes, and said hatefully: "What a bold slut, he is so shameless, and he sent it to the door!" The innocence of my Shen family has been ruined by you. ”
forced the little girl to take him to the inner study, and the angry Shen Jiamo didn't know what to do, and shouted all the way to the courtyard.
As a result, the father and daughter met head-on, and they caught the rape and caught the double! At this moment, Shen Peiwei was neatly dressed, not in a hurry, anyway, there was nothing to make people suspicious, and there seemed to be no Ke Wendeng in the study.
Shen Jiamo was half relieved, and opened his mouth to scold: "Things that don't keep the tutor!" I told you to go early and return early, why don't you want to go back as soon as you come? Could it be that there is anyone here who is worth nostalgia for? And this morning, I asked Lao Wu to pick him up, and you prevaricated to go back in the evening. Okay, it's okay to go back at night, but your aunt is resting, you should have been sitting in the house, who knows that a young lady who doesn't leave the boudoir can't be tied to her heart, and she can wander around to her uncle's study, don't you know what the suspicion of melons and plums is? If Covindon is also in the house, you meet him, you, you are angry with the old man!"
Shen Peiwei's face turned red when she said this, and she defended: "It's not that my daughter doesn't obey her father's orders, isn't it that my uncle made it clear to my father yesterday that he would keep his daughter for a few days." If the father doesn't agree, how dare the daughter stay? Aunt Shicai went out to thank her uncle and cousin, and kindly asked her daughter to take advantage of the fact that there was no one at home, to come out for a walk, and inadvertently walked here. By the way, if Mei'er follows all the way, not walking alone, why should you be angry, Dad. ”
Shen Jiamo sneered: "You said that the girl is following, where is the person?"
"Ru'er, Mei'er, where are you?" Shen Peiwei hurriedly called out loudly.
"It's coming, it's coming."
The two maids who went to the thatched house ran over when they heard the sound, and suddenly saw the old man here, and were startled.
Shen Jiamo shouted: "You two little sluts don't follow Miss all the time, where did you go?"
"The old man is angry." Ru'er hurriedly explained, "The servants were originally serving under the eaves and never stayed away, but they were in a hurry to relieve themselves. ”
"Qubble." Shen Jiamo poured his anger on them, and was furious, "Ming'er and others are derelict in their duties, and when you go back, you will see that the old man will not ask someone to whip you severely." ”
Ru'er Mei'er was suddenly so frightened that her face was bloodless and trembling.
Shen Peiwei couldn't help but argue: "Dad, there is no one here, why are you so angry?" and I will punish my maiden, who is not in a hurry. ”
Shen Jiamo was furious, pointed at her and scolded: "Slut! Obviously you are wrong, but you dare to contradict your father and protect the maid, what a bold man! Okay, let me ask you, who can believe you when you say that there is no one here, running around the house? Do you know that you didn't have a private meeting with the little beast of the Ke family here, so you deliberately branched out the girl? Just heard my voice, the little beast naturally hastened to dodge, this is his house, of course I can't find anyone. ”
It is precisely because there is no excuse for the crime that you want to add, not to mention that the inner study is one of the most unclear locations, Shen Jiamo's speculation is not unreasonable.
The so-called etiquette and religion completely depend on the attitude of the parents, once Shen Jiamo takes it seriously, then Shen Peiwei basically has no freedom at all, let alone a cousin, even if it is a younger brother, he has to avoid suspicion.
Shen Peiwei was embarrassed by the numbers, and she couldn't defend herself, so she suddenly cried aggrievedly.
Shen Jiamo shouted: "What are you crying about! I'm not arguing with you here either. Pack up, go back with me, don't keep the old man waiting. ”
In this way, Shen Peiwei was forced to come out, and Mrs. Ke was reported by the maid and rushed over, and saw her niece's eyes red.
Mrs. Ke blamed herself and said: "It's your uncle who has to keep you, and you are angry because of the grievances, alas!"
Shen Peiwei said with tears in her eyes: "Uncle is kind, it's just a child's life."
Asked the maid to get the luggage, Shen Peiwei knew that after this incident, she and Ke Wendeng were afraid that it would never be possible, so she said to Mrs. Ke with tears in her eyes: "The child will say goodbye from now on, and I don't know if there will be a day when we will meet, and my aunt will cherish it."
Mrs. Ke became sad and comforted: "Peiwei! Young people, don't say these end-of-the-road words. Well, don't be too sad when you go back, everything is important to take care of your body. Today's things are blamed on my family, tired of you suffering, don't be surprised. After I go back, hurry up to find your mother, with your grandfather and grandmother here, I shouldn't be able to stand the big grievances. I'm not going out to see the old thing's face, so I'll not send it. ”
"Well, the boy is saying goodbye." Shen Peiwei cried and bowed twice, "My uncle and cousin came back, thanked me on behalf of the child, and I couldn't say goodbye in time." ”
After seeing her depressed, she sighed and sat down, and couldn't help but resent her brother-in-law, but there was no way but to be alone and sullen.
