Chapter 101: The Wall Climber
"Grandmother, I'll send it." Shen Nianzhen said with a smile: "I haven't seen the fourth sister for a few days, so I miss her and the third aunt." ”
"Okay, then you can go."
Old Mrs. Shen agreed with a smile, now that Shen Nianzhen is close to the people in the third room, she has no opinion.
"Yes, grandmother." Shen Nianzhen smiled and took the tonic brought by Mama Zhou, and together with Ruhua, he left the house from the side door and went to the third master's house in a sedan chair.
When she arrived at the door, she was just about to get off the sedan chair when she heard a loud shout.
Immediately, the gate of the courtyard of the third master's house opened from the inside, and two people were pushed out of the door, scolding and saying, "The third one! At this juncture, you refuse to help me, you don't remember brotherhood, you wait for me! ”
Shen Nianzhen slowly raised his head and saw that the two people who shouted were Shen Pei and Qian, which was really a narrow road.
She tidied up her sleeves, and led Ruhua forward with a smile and saluted: "Second uncle, second aunt, what a coincidence today." ”
"It's you, goblin! What are you here for? ”
As soon as Qian saw Shen Nianzhen, the triangular eyes of the two forces hung up, and he glared at her with disgust, and when she saw the heavy gift box in Ruhua's hand, her eyes suddenly lit up, and she immediately leaned up, and said enthusiastically: "Nianzhen?" Are you here to visit your second aunt? Look at the gifts......"
After saying that, he stretched out his hand to pick up something.
Ruhua quickly took a step back, and said coldly: "Second lady, this is a tonic given by the old lady to the third lady, but it is not for you." ”
Qian's hand was stretched out in the air, very embarrassed.
Shen Nianzhen glanced at the picturesque approvingly, turned back to the Qian family and said, "Yes, this is exactly what grandmother meant, second aunt, I'm sorry." ”
"How do you talk, you kid!" The second master was immediately unhappy, but he didn't dare to say anything to Shen Nianzhen, and muttered in his mouth: "Old clam shengzhu, what do you have to be happy about......?"
"Second brother, if you are not satisfied, you can rush to me, and your mouth will not be clean!" The third master, who had always been kind, was immediately angry when he heard this.
He and Ding are still young, but they are in their early thirties, what happened to having a child? This is the child they have been looking forward to for ten years! How can you be ridiculed like this!
"I'm just talking, but talking, you see you're worth being angry about......"
The second master immediately took Qian's hand, turned around and ran away.
"Third uncle, they are also here to visit the third aunt?" Shen Nianzhen entered the house with the third master, and asked curiously on the way.
"No, they're here to borrow money." The third master said angrily.
Shen Nianzhen was a little surprised when he heard this: "Didn't the second cousin get the silver back before?" also gave ten taels to the second aunt to prepare the dowry for the fourth sister, and this saw that the second sister's wedding date was close at hand......"
"The second child of the ten taels of silver has already gambled out." The third old man, Shen Yu, hated iron and steel: "The second brother was not like this before!" Why did you ...... all of a sudden?"
He sighed, unable to speak.
"Third uncle, have you ever thought that sometimes it's not that a person changes too quickly, but that he is like that." Shen Nianzhen raised his eyes to look at him, and said slowly: "It's just that the world has changed, revealing his true face." ”
Shen Yu looked at Shen Nianzhen in surprise, never expecting that her little girl would be able to say such a thing.
If you think about it, it's possible.
As soon as they entered the second door, Ding and Shen Nianzhu, who got the news, came out, Shen Nianzhu was very obedient and hugged Ding's arm, and saw Shen Nianzhen's eyes lit up, but he pouted: "You can be regarded as knowing!" ”
"There have been a lot of things in the house these days, and I've been delayed." Shen Nian smiled good-naturedly, stepped forward to take the gift box from Ruhua's hand, and said to Ding: "Third aunt, these are all sent by my grandmother, specially for you to make up for your body, I asked for this errand and came to play with the fourth sister." ”
"Zhu'er, don't be unreasonable."
Ding reprimanded his daughter first, and then took the things in Shen Nianzhen's hand with a smile, and said with a smile: "Knowing that the old lady remembers me, I am satisfied, and I will let you go on a special trip, on this hot day, come into the house and drink a bowl of sour plum soup!" ”
Shen Nianzhen said hello and entered the house with everyone.
Ding didn't mention a word in front of Shen Nianzhen about the second couple coming to make trouble, and smiled and ordered his subordinates to serve tea and snacks, but Shen Nianzhen asked if the second old man and his wife had often come to the house to make trouble recently.
"It's about borrowing money." Ding sighed and said: "Yunqi's kid is desperately trying to make money, and he has just finished the matter of the rich man Zhang, and the second master can't help but go to the casino again, gambling and losing the second girl's dowry, and now that the wedding date is approaching, he can't take out anything, so he began to beg grandpa to tell grandma to borrow money everywhere, like him a bottomless pit, who dares to lend him, and the money will be all gambled out tomorrow." ”
"That's it." Shen Nianzhen nodded when he heard this.
"But we can't watch the second girl go out barely without any dowry." Ding said worriedly: "Your fourth sister has also reached the age when you should say goodbye......
"Mother, I won't marry!"
Shen Nianzhu suddenly spoke: "I will guard you and my father, and take care of my younger brother in the future, if the second uncle and second aunt dare to come to make trouble, I will never let them come to the door!" ”
"Oh my God! Don't talk about it! ”
When Ding heard this, he couldn't cry or laugh, and persuaded him again and again: "Last time, your second aunt came to the door, and before she entered the yard, you were kicked out with a big broom, and her big mouth was preached on the street for three days!" Don't you think your reputation is bad enough? ”
"What her faceless and skinless person says, someone must believe it!" Shen Nianzhu didn't think she had done anything wrong.
Shen Nianzhen listened, glanced at Shen Nianzhu with curiosity, and asked, "Did you really take a big broom and drive the second aunt out?" ”
Shen Nianzhu nodded, snorted and said, "What, do you want to teach me a lesson?" ”
"Don't dare, don't dare." Shen Nianzhen smiled and said, "I'm afraid that you will kick me out with a broom." After speaking, he took a sip of the sour plum soup on the table.
Shen Nianzhu cut and picked up his bowl.
Ding couldn't help but purse his lips and smile when he saw the two of them happy.
After sitting in the room for a while, Shen Nianzhu said that it was too boring, so she pulled Shen Nianzhen out and said that she was going to take her to see the wisteria trellis in the backyard.
"Slow down, stay away from that trellis, and beware of bee stings." The third lady admonished.
"Got it!" Shen Nianzhu didn't reply, and pulled Shen Nianzhen away.
Shen Nianzhen saw her walking fast, and couldn't help but be a little curious: "Are you going to take me to see some treasure?" ...... in such a hurry."
"You'll know when you get there!" Shen Nianzhu said hurriedly, and her steps did not stop.
Shen Nianzhen struggled to keep up with her, and a little curiosity gradually grew in her heart.
Ruhua followed silently, looking at her young lady's stumbling steps, she wanted to go up and knock Shen Nianzhu on the head, but she still forgot about it.
Finally, Shen Nianzhen saw a wisteria stand like a purple waterfall from a distance, like a dream.
"It's pretty......" she exclaimed.
At this time, Shen Nianzhu let go of her hand, raised her foot and walked to the base of the wall, picked up a stick leaning against the corner of the wall, and suddenly poked at the head of the wall.
"Oops!"
A man's exclamation rang out from the other side of the wall, and then something rolled down from behind the trellis and fell straight to the ground.
"Mom! It's actually a person! Picturesque suddenly let out an exclamation.
Shen Nianzhen looked at the person on the ground who was holding her legs and kept sighing, she only felt very familiar, and she couldn't help but shout: "Second son Su? ”
"It's me!"
The person who kept calling raised his head, revealing a fair and handsome face, with red lips and white teeth, who was it not Su Yunmu?
Shen Nianzhen looked at him, extremely curious: "Why are you here?" What are you doing climbing the wall? ”
Shen Nianzhu walked over, stood beside her, and said angrily: "Since the last time I followed His Royal Highness the Second Prince, he has come to the door every day, and he doesn't say anything, he grins when he comes, my father is afraid of gossip, and he doesn't let him come to the door, he keeps snooping behind the wall, and he doesn't know what the idea is!" ”
"I don't have any ideas!"
Su Yunmu wailed, and said helplessly: "I just want to ask you to try throwing pots with me!" But you won't ......"
"I'm not interested." Shen Nianzhu simply refused.
"But, I just want to compare with you!" Su Yunmu struggled to get up from the ground, walked to Shen Nianzhu with a limp, and reached into the placket to touch it, but found a jade pendant that was broken into two petals, and he was immediately annoyed: "This is for you!" I didn't expect it to break! What are you poking me with a stick! ”
Shen Nianzhu looked down at the jade pendant that was broken into two petals, snorted coldly, and said, "You are a disciple, I didn't report to the official to arrest you, it's already good." ”
Shen Nianzhen saw that the broken jade pendant was in good condition, so he asked, "Second Prince Su, do you want to give this jade pendant to my sister?" Is this something you have close to you? ”
"Yes, I've been wearing this jade pendant for eighteen years."
Su Yunmu said with regret: "I wanted to give it to the rosary girl as a bet, hoping that she could compete with me again, but unfortunately she never agreed." ”
"Second son Su, do you know whether men and women give or receive kisses?" Shen Nianzhen heard this and said: "You take the jade pendant as a bet, in case my sister wins, will she take it or not?" How do I explain it to my parents? I'm afraid that what awaits her is questioning and scolding, right? ”
"But ......" Su Yunmu explained anxiously: "I just wanted to compete, I didn't think about it so much......"
"You don't think about it that much, others should think about it!"
Shen Nianzhen rolled his eyes speechlessly and said, "Second Master Su, go back quickly!" This is not the place where you can come. By the way, if His Royal Highness the Second Prince knows that you are acting so recklessly, he may not let you go! ”
As soon as Su Yunmu heard the words of the second prince, his face suddenly changed, and he glared at Shen Nianzhen with resentment, and then turned around and limped to climb the wall and climb out.
"Second Master Su, the back door is over there, you can go out from there." Shen Nian said with good intentions.
When the words fell, Su Yunmu suddenly turned around, looked at her with a strange expression and said, "Miss Shen, you and my second cousin are really a natural pair!" You must not harm others, you two marriage can be regarded as eliminating harm for the people! ”
After saying that, he quickened his pace and slipped away quickly.
Shen Nianzhen couldn't cry or laugh.
Shen Nianzhu stood aside, and the corners of her mouth couldn't help but show a smile, and suddenly, she saw half a broken jade pendant falling on the ground.
I immediately walked over and picked it up.
Shen Nianzhen walked over, glanced down, and said with a smile: "You called me here just to drive him away?" This is not a big deal, Su Yunmu was born in Su Taishi's Mansion, has a flamboyant personality, is cool, and is quite handsome, I don't know how many ladies in Shangjing are staring at it! I think he is also used to seeing stammers in the fat powder pile, but I didn't expect to be beaten with a stick when he climbed a wall here and was beaten, which can be regarded as pouring blood mold. ”
Thinking about it, it makes me feel like coke.
Shen Nianzhu looked at her gloating face, and said speechlessly: "Then he will pester others?" What's the matter with me! ”
After saying that, he turned around and went back to the house angrily.
Shen Nianzhen didn't chase her, but stood there and admired the wisteria waterfall for a while, and then slowly returned to the house.
"Miss, although the fourth lady said it very resolutely, she still secretly put away half of the jade pendant of the second son of Su and did not throw it away." Picturesque and stealthy road.
Shen Nianzhen couldn't help but smile again when he heard this.
What are Shen Nianzhu and Su Yunmu? Zhou Yu beats Huang Gai, one is willing to fight, and the other is willing to suffer?
It's kind of fun.
After staying in the third room for lunch, he sat and chatted for a while, until the weather was not so hot, and Shen Nianzhen came out with Ruhua and prepared to take the sedan chair back home.
Ding led Shen Nianzhu to see him off, and the group was saying goodbye at the door one by one, when suddenly a soft and weak voice interjected: "Big sister." ”
Shen Nianzhen's smile stiffened when he heard this, and he slowly turned around and saw Shen Nianci.
This was the first time she had seen her after hitting the pillar in the main hall of the Shen family that day.
Shen Nianci's whole person is thinner than before, a pair of already big eyes are more and more protruding, with the bloodless skin, now she feels that she is not pitiful, but simply pitiful.
"Big sister, please help me." Shen Nianci's weak body, which seemed to be able to blow down as soon as the wind blew, slowly knelt down at her, and said with a pleading face: "Please lend me ten taels of silver as a dowry, if not, I, I ......"
"What will happen?" Shen Nianzhen asked slowly.
"Mrs. Lu, she has woken up and her illness has improved." Shen Nianci's tone was a little difficult: "She said, if I don't have these ten taels of silver as a dowry, I can't marry the Lu family......"
"Hehe, a ruined household that has fallen like this is also qualified to pick and choose!"
Shen Nianzhen laughed angrily when he heard this: "If it weren't for the fact that you have been serving for more than a month, would this Mrs. Lu be able to wake up?" It's just that I'm not grateful to you, and I've put up my mother-in-law's score! What about Lu Yiming? He let his mother bully you? ”
Shen Nianci listened quietly, and then said timidly: "Lu Gongzi, he ...... He felt ...... Our Shen family said before that we would take ten taels of silver as a dowry, and we can't be untrustworthy......"
"But your dowry was gambled by your father, and he doesn't care if you live or die, what's the use of you coming to me." Shen Nianzhen's tone was cold.
To be honest, seeing Shen Nianci's appearance at the moment, she couldn't tell how happy she was.
"Big sister, please!" Shen Nianci said anxiously: "I said that this is just borrowing!" In the future, I will think of a ...... to return to you."
"Alright, get up." Shen Nianzhen sighed when he heard this, and said, "I'll go and discuss with my grandmother, and ask what the Lu family means, as for your dowry, ......."
Shen Nianci looked at her expectantly.
"Go back and wait." Shen Nianzhen looked at her and said, "There are still two days left or right, and I won't miss your marriage." ”
"Huh? That's right. Shen Nianci was slightly disappointed when he heard this.
"Not leaving?" Ruhua said coldly: "Fourth Miss, do you want my young lady to give you the silver now?" She doesn't know you're waiting here, who's going out with so much silver! ”
"I, I'll go."
Shen Nianci hurriedly got up from the ground when she heard this, I don't know if she was too weak or because she knelt for too long, after getting up, her body shook twice, and then her eyes closed, and the whole person fell to the ground softly.
"Fourth sister!" Shen Nianzhen was taken aback, and the mother-in-law beside the busy commander Ding helped her up.
Ding Shi had been watching from the side just now, and he couldn't say anything, and at this moment Fang said: "She may be too weak, why don't you carry it back to the mansion and ask for a doctor......
"Third aunt, you can't do this."
Shen Nianzhen said calmly: "You carried people in with your front foot, and the second uncle and his wife came with your back foot, have you forgotten that such a thing happened before?" If you want me to say, the fourth sister just fainted, you call a few mothers-in-law, carry her back in a sedan chair, don't enter the door, just put people down at the door and come back quickly. ”
"Nian Zhen, this is too ......" Ding Shi was a little surprised when he heard this: "Does it have to be like this?" ”
"Third aunt, if you don't want your family to make trouble all day long, you just listen to me." Shen Nianzhen sighed.
"Mother! Listen to the eldest sister! Shen Nianzhu hurriedly said on the side: "You are still pregnant!" Even if you don't think about us, you have to think about the child in your belly! ”
"Okay." Ding reluctantly called a few mothers-in-law, lifted the unconscious Shen Nianci from the ground, put it in a carriage, and sent it back to her own home.
Shen Nianzhen didn't rush to leave, but stayed, waiting for the person who sent her to come back, and then she left.
"Nian Zhen, I'm really sorry that today's events have affected you." Ding said apologetically.
"Third aunt, you are humble, this matter is still because of me." Shen Nianzhen shook his head when he heard this: "If I hadn't come, the fourth sister wouldn't have waited here, as for her dowry, in fact, my grandmother asked someone to prepare a copy behind her back, but it wasn't much." ”
