The Shen family in the capital

Houmen is a tall household, a heavy building and a flying pavilion, carved beams and embroidered columns, not to mention the style, it is exquisite everywhere, but the courtyard of the Shen family has not been renovated for many years, and some places still can't hide the traces of decay, nesting alone in the corner, waiting for it to slowly decay.

This is a remote courtyard, separated from the main house by an artificial lake, now about to enter the early summer, the wind is slow, the steam is warm and fragrant, both sides are full of fine flowers, powder blue blue, very beautiful.

Although the courtyard is partial, it is not dilapidated, and it is quiet.

Pei Jing made a pot of hot tea and stood at the door, took two deep breaths before trying to push the door with both hands and walked in.

The tea was poured into the cup, and the water vapor blurred the person's facial features, revealing a clear and handsome face in the haze, not how handsome it was, but it revealed an elegant Sven from the bones.

"You're out." Shen Qing spoke, his voice was warm, like a spring wind, but he was frightened and shook his hand, and a few drops of tea splashed on the table, and he hurriedly wiped it.

Shen Qing put his hand on the table, his gaze turned to Shen Yue, his sister-in-law, with a complicated look in her eyes, "Where did you go?" ”

Pei Jing twisted the cloth in her hand with both hands, lowered her head and didn't dare to raise it, gritted her teeth and said: "Miss said that her heart was stuffy, and the slave maid served and walked around the garden behind...... "She shouldn't be able to say the word "go out," otherwise the Shen family would know, and her punishment would be one of them, so they were afraid that they would send her out of the Shen Mansion and no longer be able to serve Miss's side.

Pei Jing has been accompanying Shen Yue since she was very young, when Shen Yue was still the pearl of the Shen family, He saw that she was clever and because she grew up together, she was better, so she became Shen Yue's personal maid, saying that she was a maid, what could she do at that time, it was just to play with the young lady.

In addition to the master-servant relationship, if he was sold to the house, Pei Jing knew that his fate was even worse, and he didn't dare to tell the truth even if he was killed.

The sunlight outside the window is still very warm, a beam of light happens to shine on Shen Yue near the window, slim and introverted, with a soft face, like pearl white jade, outlining a graceful figure, Shen Qing knows that this sister's appearance is not amazing, but she has a unique temperament, gentle and elegant, quiet and self-controlled.

"I see it." Shen Qing's words were soft, but his eyes were very sharp, and his heart was cold when he saw it, and his whole body was cold.

'Plop-' Pei Jing knelt down, turned his eyes to the unconscious young lady, pinched his fingernails into his palms, pursed his lips and did not speak.

In the Shen family, the prince has a gentle personality, but he ......

Shen Qing shook his head and sighed: "Do you know that Yue'er has an unstable temperament and will cause trouble at any time, if something happens to you when you take her out, how should the Shen family face the world." ”

Pei Jing pressed her neck, her eyes stared at the ground, she was a maid, a slave of the Shen family, she couldn't read two big words, and she didn't have the ability to speak, but she knew that no one in the Shen family took the young lady seriously, or, to be precise, now it is a shame for the Shen family, and she doesn't dare to mention it to the public!

How ironic it is, the bright moon and pearl of the year have now become unspeakable acne, as if they grow somewhere in the ulterior body, hated and don't know how to deal with it.

Even if the prince occasionally came to visit the young lady, perhaps sympathetic and caring, it can still be heard from his words that this pity or sympathy seems to treat outsiders.

"Have you taken today's medicine?" Shen Qing turned his head and saw the medicine bag next to him, stood up and walked over, picked up a packet and looked, "If it doesn't work after eating, you can tell your mother earlier, or you can find me, and then try another doctor." ”

Pei Jing frowned and pressed his eyes, wanting to say something, but the words came to his lips and hesitated.

Shen Qing put down the medicine bag, took care of it as usual, and finally said: "In the future, if there is any need to send someone in the house to tell the housekeeper, don't go out if you have nothing to do, so as not to bump into others again." ”

He took a step up, but the person sitting by the window remained motionless, as if immersed in his own world, and no one else could go in, and she would not come out.

Shen Qing's eyes swept over Shen Yue, his eyes were complicated with a little sigh, what a stunning little sister back then, a strange illness suddenly became like this, in the first two years, he always cared more because of the friendship between brothers and sisters, but after a long time, he also had his own affairs, and after Shen Yue lived here, the contact between the two sides was less, and gradually the relationship faded.

Facing it now, Shen Qing didn't know what to think in his heart, as if there was always something between the two, and they couldn't get close.

"Okay, take good care of Miss, I'll go first." After Shen Qing finished speaking, he stepped out of the threshold.

"Shizi!" Pei Jing hurriedly got up from the ground and chased him out.

Shen Qing turned around, his eyes puzzled: "What?" ”

Pei Jing pursed her lips, her eyes were stubborn, and she was a little unwilling, "Is the prince still angry with Miss about the things of the previous year, although the young lady can't speak, but the slave knows that she is very unhappy in her heart, please don't mind the prince." ”

Shen Qing looked at her for a while, his mind passed a little, and he remembered the Miss Liu that Pei Jing said, he was casual, but He was more regretful and sad about this, mainly because he was old, and parents always had to worry about their children's affairs.

However, after a little glance, it can be seen that Pei Jing is not just here for this, "You can say it directly." ”

Pei Jing pinched his palm with his thumb, raised his head and said, "Miss is not crazy. ”

Shen Qing's eyes showed a little doubt, and his brows frowned slightly.

"Miss is not sick, she is all right." Pei Jing looked at Shen Qing in disbelief, her voice unconsciously became higher, and she said very hard: "Miss just can't speak, and she can't see, but she is fine on weekdays, and she is not as irritable as Mrs. and Second Miss said, Shizi, Miss she ......"

"Alright." Shen Qing stopped Pei Jing's words, and said gently: "I know that you and Yue'er have a deep relationship, but it is not for me to decide whether she is sick or not, let alone you, you always have to believe the doctor's words." ”

Pei Jing wrinkled his brows, but he still didn't plan to give up, and said again: "It's okay for so many years, the time before the birth year, please think about it carefully, is there nothing strange in this." ”

"Pei Jing." Shen Qing's voice turned a little stronger, he jumped in surprise, and knelt on the ground again, he suppressed the impetuousness in his heart, and his tone was lighter: "You just need to take care of Miss, don't worry about the rest." ”

Pei Jing lowered his head, looking stubborn, but his eyes were sour unconsciously, and a circle of redness appeared in the corners of his eyes, and he didn't know whether he was wronged for himself or for Shen Yue.

Shen Qing didn't have the habit of embarrassing the people in the mansion in the end, and the words of reprimand were in his mouth, he paused, waved his hand and said: "Forget it, I didn't hear it this time, if you think like this in the future, the Shen Mansion won't be able to keep you." ”

Pei Jing's body trembled, and she knelt on the ground with her back up, feeling the coldness spreading from her knees, making her whole body feel like falling into an ice cave, and the cold did not look like under the warm spring sun.

……

After Shen Qing left Shen Yue's yard, he also remembered the stubble when Shen Yue went crazy on the road, when the incident happened suddenly, it disturbed the ladies and ladies in the garden, and when he passed, he happened to see Shen Yue pounce on the young lady of the Liu family, very crazy, full of anger, and it seemed to be a different person.

Pei Jing now says that Shen Yue is not sick, there is something strange, but Shen Yue has checked them one by one when she eats edible drugs, and there is no problem at all, and the doctor also makes it clear that the human brain is complicated, like Shen Yue has a strange disease and suddenly becomes a deaf and dumb blind person, and it is difficult to accept it emotionally, coupled with the depression for many years, there is a great possibility that there will be problems in the heart, resulting in emotional out-of-control.

Shen Qing thought about it twice, and thought in his heart that Pei Jing was pitying his own young lady for thinking too much, so he also waved away all kinds of messy thoughts in his mind.

As soon as he returned to the main courtyard around the artificial lake, he saw a figure flickering, and quickly flashed in front of him.

"Big brother." Shen You came back from outside just now, and he also carried a hexagonal food box in his hand, with a smile on his face, and he was in a very happy mood.

Shen Qing stopped, looked at the clothes he was wearing, his brows were furrowed, red and willow green, like a rooster, "Where have you been?" ”

Different from Shen Qing's elegant Swen, Shen Yousheng's sunshine revealed a pair of tiger teeth when he smiled, and he had a very likable character, "My little sister said that she wanted to eat Ruyizhai's butterfly cake, so I went to buy some and came back." Hey? Big brother, how did you come from behind? ”

Shen Qing nodded: "Then you can go." "He is now a tribute student, and he is going to participate in the imperial examination this autumn, so he doesn't have much free time, and basically spends a day in the study.

After walking a few steps, Shen Qing suddenly called him again and said, "How much you bought, Yue'er will also send some over there." ”

Shen You suddenly retracted, and when he turned around, his face was a little reluctant: "That little madman? She doesn't eat all the same. ”

"Shen You!" Shen Qing scolded dissatisfiedly: "Yue'er, she is your sister!" ”

Shen You pursed his lips, a little disappreciative: "Big brother, if it weren't for her, would your marriage have been delayed for so many years, and it would have become a mother's heart disease?" ”

Compared with Shen Qing, Shen You and Shen Yue are one year apart in age, and because Shen Yue was too good when he was a child, and Shen You was naughty and mischievous, he was easily punished by his parents.

"It's none of her business." Shen Qing stretched out his hand and pressed his brows, and just as he was about to say something, a pretty voice came in: "What are the two brothers doing standing here, basking in the sun or taking advantage of the wind." ”

Shen You looked at Shen Xing, and took out the food box with a smile: "Xing'er, what do you see my brother bought for you?" ”

Shen Xingchang is petite and exquisite, his eyebrows and eyes are flexible and a little playful, at this moment, with his hands behind his back, he deliberately pursed his lips, and his eyes rolled, not to mention how delicate and lively he was, "I guess...... It's Ruyizhai's butterfly crisp, right? ”

Shen You laughed heartily, and said like a treasure: "Xing'er is smart, take it and taste it...... How about it, the second brother is okay to you. ”

Shen Xing took a piece and ate it, the two brothers and sisters laughed together, this scene is very familiar, but maybe it was just from Shen Yue's side, Shen Qing looked at it, his smiling eyes slowly tightened, and a figure flashed in his eyes-

Sitting alone at the window, full of loneliness.
