Xiang Ning's voice was flat: "Can my daughter step down?" ”

She just wants to go to sleep now.

Mrs. Liu nodded, and before she could ask for anything else, Xiang Ning got up and walked out.

She looked at her daughter's thin back, her shoulders were almost parallel to each other as she walked, and her long yellow hair hung lifelessly, which was really sad.

She lowered her head, rested her elbows on her thighs, and put her heavily makeup face in the palm of her hand.

It's late at night, and I finally don't have to worry about makeup.

Master Xiang was in his aunt's room tonight, and the most powerful Mama Wu was sent by her to Pei Shangshu's courtyard again, and now she looked around, but she was unrelated.

Shuyu went to ask the housekeeper early in the morning, and sure enough, the woman who came to the letter was not allowed to enter the family ancestral hall.

He wasn't in a hurry, but he was just delaying for a few more days.

When I came back to the courtyard, Sanniang was still sleeping.

This is her second day, and she has always been a little difficult, mainly because of her back pain, but there is nothing on the side.

Shuyu took precautions, sat on a pot of hot water first, and if she woke up uncomfortable, he would give her a hot compress.

However, she slept deeply this night, and only woke up in the afternoon, but she felt quite comfortable.

In the morning, the housekeeper sent Wang Ningzhi's letter, and Shuyu was in the south room to see it, and she sat at the table in the north room to draw.

Through the bead curtain, you can see Shu Yu's focused silhouette, and she uses ink to reveal his appearance, and she is tired of it.

"Second master, madam, please go to the front hall for a while." Mama Wu said outside the door.

Shuyu took the letter, folded it and put it in his arms, and went to open the door.

Outside the door, except for Mama Wu and Xiang Ning, she hung her head and didn't look at anything.

Shu Yu was stunned for a moment, and Mama Wu smiled and said, "Second master, Mrs. said to ask Miss Ning to be a companion with Mrs. Pei." ”

Shu Yu still had a good impression of this indifferent wife and sister, so he didn't think much about it, and turned sideways to let A-Ning in.

"Sanniang, I'll go out, and you entertain A-Ning." He turned his head.

Sanniang hurriedly put down the pen and came out with a smile: "Okay." He stretched out his hand and took A-Ning into the house.

Shu Yu followed Mama Wu and asked as she walked, "What is Madam looking for me?" ”

Mama Wu smiled and said, "The old slave doesn't know, maybe I told you something about Mrs. Pei?" ”

Shu Yu didn't take much precautions, Mrs. Liu was quite kind to them during this time, and his heart was full of gratitude.

When she arrived in the front hall, Mrs. Liu was already sitting in the hall, and when she saw him coming, she stood up and said with a smile: "Pei Shangshu, good afternoon, I'm really sorry, please come here." ”

Shu Yu smiled and saluted: "Madame is polite." ”

The two gossiped a lot of homely things, and the more they talked about something, the more vigilant Shuyu became.

Listening to the sound of bangzi, I knew that after almost an hour, Shu Yu was a little unable to sit still: "Madam, Afu and I have also been bothering in the house for a long time, and I am very sorry not to go, I don't know if there is anything that can repay the favor?" ”

Liu Shuhan's smile froze slightly, knowing that Shu Yu couldn't bear it.

She lowered her head, and her voice gradually lowered: "To be honest, the concubine does have a reluctant request. ”

"The only daughter of the concubine, A-Ning, is seventeen years old now, and she has not yet been married....."

Shu Yu understood, and he said, "Madam, I understand what you mean. A-Ning has a quiet temperament, and I saw that she liked it in the morning. This is naturally easy to do, but Chang'an is far away from Wenzhou, and she will marry in the future, but I am afraid that you will be reluctant. ”

Liu Shuhan was stupid, she never expected Pei Shangshu to agree without hesitation, and said overjoyed: "Thank you Pei Shangshu!" ”

Shu Yu smiled: "This is a big deal, you see, you ask Mama Wu to talk to me, but please go on a trip." With that, he got up and prepared to go out.

Liu Shuhan hurriedly got up to see him off, and his heart was still full of unbelievable joy: "Shangshu rest assured, Miss Fu is A-Ning's cousin, and she will definitely be able to get along well in the future." She is a girl with no extravagant expectations, competing for favor or something, and she will definitely not have it. ”

Shu Yu paused and smiled: "What do you mean .....?"

Liu Shuhan immediately understood, I was afraid that Pei Shangshu was not thinking about her at all.

She was still hesitating what to say, but Shu Yu's voice had cooled down: "Madam, you mean to let A-Ning ....." He couldn't speak.

From Liu Shuhan's expression, he was already sure.

A-Ning is a good girl in the end, he doesn't want the word "to be a concubine" to land, so he doesn't have to insult her reputation.

Shu Yu calmed down, turned his head and said, "If you don't worry, I will look for young talents for A-Ning in Chang'an." It's getting late, I'll go back first, and I'll ask the servant to send A-Ning back. ”

Liu Shuhan didn't expect him to refuse so resolutely and decisively, and he was stunned on the spot, his face was hot and painful.

Pei Shuyu's reaction was as if she had sold her daughter for the honor and disgrace of the family, but she also carefully chose the best path for A-Ning!

The flesh that fell from her own body, her only bone and blood, she looked at it heavier than her own life, how could it .....

Liu Shuhan felt a tightness in her chest, she returned to her seat and fell into it weakly.

Xiang Zizhao turned his head from behind the screen, pressed Liu Shuhan's shoulder, and said softly: "I just said that Pei Shangshu is unwilling, but Madam doesn't believe it." Okay, let's marry our daughter by our side, and take care of everything, right? ”

Liu Shuhan felt aggrieved in her heart, when you die and turn to ashes, how "care" will your concubine and concubine be?

She only said: "Master, the concubine is a woman, and it is not easy to talk to Pei Shangshu, why can't you help?" ”

Xiang Zizhao smiled: "How can I open my mouth and say, hey, Shangshu, my girl will be your concubine, isn't it?" I'm also the head of the family...."

Liu Shuhan felt disgusted when she heard this, and she only suppressed it.

Shu Yu went back to the room and saw Sanniang sitting quietly in the room alone and painting.

The shadow of the lattice fell on her, enveloping her like a giant net.

But as soon as she looked up, her smile melted the somewhat gloomy scene.

"Coming back?" She beckoned: "Look at the lotus leaves I painted, is it good?" ”

Shu Yu walked over, and the lotus leaf really had a bit of charm: "Wow, you can still paint?" ”

Sanniang dipped her pen and said with a smile: "I didn't know I could draw." But it seems, you don't know. ”

Shu Yu stood behind her and saw that she had drawn a pool of lotus leaves, as well as a lotus flower, which had not yet been completed.

He could see it, but he heard Sanniang smile and say, "Husband, you will still call me Afu in the future." ”

Shuyu's scalp was numb.

He froze there, not daring to move. Excited and nervous, I have never been so at a loss in my life.

Sanniang saw that he didn't move, leaned over to see his expression, took one of his hands, and shook it gently: "Husband? ”

Shu Yu didn't know what to say, swallowed a few times dryly, and stretched out his arm.

Sanniang, no, Afu put down the pen and threw it into his arms.

She kept waiting for him to say something, but Shu Yu seemed to have lost his voice, and his hand was also cold, and Afu could feel it through the thin clothes.

It wasn't until much later that Shu Yu finally said in her ear: "Afu." ”

In fact, the turmoil in Afu's heart has long gone, but when she heard his plain call, she felt her eyes sour inexplicably.

She whispered, "Thank you for finding me." ”

Hearing this, Shu Yu's eyes were moist.

He hugged her tightly.

Hearing this from her mouth, he really felt that this life was complete.

"You.... Remember? ”

Afu sneered, "No, but A-Ning told me something." ”

Shu Yu couldn't help but glance at the corners of his mouth helplessly, and said, why did Buddha suddenly come....

He said, "So what do you know?" ”

Afu came out of his arms and looked him straight into the eyes: "You dare to marry me twice!" ”

Shu Yu laughed loudly.

After laughing, he pressed her into his arms again: "Two times is not enough!" I'm going to marry you once a year in the future, okay? ”

Afu said: "Okay, then only once a year in the cave room to spend candle night, more is not allowed!" ”

Shu Yu smiled, she could have daydreamed.

"What else do you know?"

"My name is Xiang Fu, I am Xiang Ning's cousin, and my family is in the capital.... Oh, you're a big official. Nothing else, it seems. A-Ning didn't like to talk much, so he said these words. ”

She suddenly remembered something, and slapped Shuyu: "No wonder you must go to the ancestral hall of the Xiangjia family, husband, why don't you tell me directly?" ”

Now although she knows that Shu Yu may be quite important in the government and the opposition, she is used to getting along with him so bluntly, but she can't change it.
