Chapter 353: Alleys and Courtyards

When the autumn wind rose, the ancestor of the Chen family coughed a few times, so he didn't call Brother Sheng in front of her, although Shen Qin sat down firmly, Mrs. Chen still took this opportunity to mutter, saying that she wanted Brother Sheng to raise in her courtyard for a while.

The words were passed down tactfully, and a few concubines came forward and picked themselves cleanly, without saying it to their faces, Shen Qin also treated it as if he didn't know, saying that Princess Ping missed her grandson, so she sent Brother Sheng to the palace.

Originally, Shen Qin was worried that Princess Ping would take care of her new granddaughter and have no time to separate, but when she went to the palace, Princess Ping sat on her lap with Brother Sheng in her arms, snorted coldly, and said, "How dare I rob her?" ”

Shen Qin only smiled, and Princess Ping could only talk to her daughter about her unhappiness, "Your brother has added a child, which is always a happy thing, but she wants to come forward to spoil the scenery, and say something 'It doesn't matter if it's a daughter this time, there will always be a chance' Hearing about your brother's face, it was dark at that time. Your sister-in-law, who doesn't know how to look at people, said this, and urged the doctor to prescribe tonic medicine to wormwood. ”

Princess Ping really didn't know what to say about her daughter-in-law, she crushed the peanuts in her hand and didn't want to eat them, threw them into the bowl, wiped her hands with a handkerchief and continued: "I said that I wanted my aunt to take care of her body, and then add Ding to your brother, so I turned my face and took the child to my room to raise it." ”

These women who are in the main room are naturally not good at accusing the Yan family of nothing in this matter, even if Shen Gui pities the separation of the mother and daughter of wormwood, it is not good to slap the Yan family in the face in this matter.

Wormwood was surrounded by the servants that Yan had sent her, and she didn't even dare to be sad, let alone cry, she drank a decoction that relieved pain and calmed her nerves and fell asleep, and she unconsciously cried tears in her dream, and the pillow towel was wet.

When I woke up, I found a figure next to the bed, and I was startled, and when I saw that it was Shen Gui who was looking at me without saying anything, Wormwood hurriedly wiped the corners of her eyes and said, "Master, you are here." ”

"Hmm." Shen Gui didn't know what to say, seeing Wormwood muttering about a child in his sleep, his heart was very sour, but he couldn't let Yan send the child back, so he only said a few words of comfort.

On the second day, Shen Gui called a maidservant from elsewhere and gave the deed to Wormwood, and Wormwood had a person who could speak.

"Let's write down the monthly money for her." When Yan heard about this, he didn't take it to heart, but just leaned on the edge of the cradle and watched the child laugh.

"The master has credited it to his account." A-Yuan was a little anxious.

"Let him be, Aunt Ai is also meritorious, and she should be given a different kind of decency." Yan still didn't care, but she straightened up and asked, "Where did you go?" ”

Ah Yuan shook his head and said softly: "Now, as long as the master is out of the house, the people who serve around him will never reveal where he goes. ”

Yan frowned at this time, looked at the pink doll in swaddling clothes, and sighed: "If this baby is a boy, I won't worry about it." ”

Ah Yuan was so anxious that he wanted to stomp his feet, and said: "You, you don't think like this, the relationship between husband and wife is also important, wouldn't it be better for us to have a little brother by ourselves?" ”

Yan said nonchalantly, "What do you know? People like us live a life, and the love is the least tight. ”

If Shen Gui and Yan had the same thoughts, the two of them might be able to live their lives in harmony.

Shen Gui has always disliked Wuyang and Wuyang's group of people to follow, but now he has a secret, which also saves others from suspecting him.

The pace was very fast along the way, but he stopped and stopped, bought east and west, bought half a basket of persimmons, and people simply gave him the basket, Shen Gui put the bits and pieces he bought into the basket and walked with the basket.

Turning through the narrow alley like chicken intestines, the noise on the street seemed to be separated by a screen, Shen Gui stopped in front of a small wooden door and knocked on the door.

"Who is it?" An immature child's voice asked.

"Your grandfather." Shen Gui said.

He knew that the boy who was guarding the door was not tall and had to move the stool to open the door, so he waited patiently.

As soon as the door opened, and when he entered, the boy closed the door. Shen Gui saw that she had a short-handed and short-legged diced radish, so he pushed it and pushed the door bolt shut.

"It's okay at home." Shen Gui hugged the basket and said.

"It's okay, my sister embroiders and cooks, I eat and eat, buy things for my sister, and nothing else."

"Why are you so embarrassed?" Shen Gui glanced at her and handed her an orange persimmon.

This little boy was picked up on the street, and when she met her, she was stealing someone's roasted taro, and was beaten with a rattan on the street, and she couldn't look at it, so she saved it with silver, and took a name called taro, and she didn't know where to close her eyes, so she kept it by her side.

Shen Gui checked, taro is a lonely and poor life, she can also do an errand by her side, she always has to go out by herself, and now it's okay to say on this day, isn't it eye-catching to wear a hat in summer?

"Sister, my lord is here." The taro had persimmons to eat, and he happily knocked on the door.

As soon as the door opened, out came a woman wrapped in a crimson turban, with delicate eyebrows and eyes, a pair of small silver rings hanging on her earlobes, a little jade beads the size of rice grains, a silver bell bracelet on her wrist, and a Chu-colored waist skirt around her body, which was stained with white flour.

She looked at Shen Gui and laughed, and said, "Come at this hour, do you want to eat here?" ”

Shen Gui nodded, took out an oiled paper bag from the basket, and said, "Add vegetables." ”

Taro had already smelled the smell of fragrant meat, cheered, ran around the yard again, and ran to the kitchen to light the fire, completely like a wild boy on the street, how did he know that it was a girl?

"What did you eat?" Shen Gui bent down slightly, reached out and patted the pink stains on the woman's waist skirt, but failed to dust it off.

"I baked a few cakes, read a book last night, saw the burritos wrapped in vegetables and eaten, and I was hungry all night." The woman's eyebrows and eyes were soft, and she smiled lightly and said ordinary words.

Shen Gui looked at her, from the harem concubines to the strange women in the alley, from the Pingwang Mansion to this simple and simple courtyard with no more than two rooms, from the intrigue above the court battle, to the pancakes in the kitchen and the persimmons in the bamboo basket, there was really a feeling of being separated from the world.

"I just bought a roast duck, I went to give a slice, and it is best to eat it wrapped in bread." Shen Gui came back to his senses and said.

Zheng Shuangshuang's eyes bent again, and he walked with Shen Gui to the small kitchen built separately in the courtyard, and said as he walked: "Okay." I cut the shredded meat and boiled the sauce, and the taro bought pickled garlic, shallots and courgette this morning, which should be delicious when wrapped in cakes. ”

"That's natural, if you eat meat without garlic, the taste will be half less." Shen Gui stretched out comfortably, with his hands behind his back.

Zheng Shuangshuang woke up, frowned and poked Shen Gui, and said, "You are not allowed to force me to eat pickled garlic again." ”

Shen Gui laughed, and his pace became more and more brisk.

…………

Cai Qiran went to Chen's Mansion today, waited in front of his grandmother for a day, and was reluctant to leave when it was almost dark, and was driven back by his grandmother.

"I'm already married, so it's not good to be so willful." The ancestor of the Chen family said.

Cai Qiran returned to the Guogong Mansion, and saw Cui'er standing at the gate of the courtyard waiting for her, pacing around with a handkerchief, and hurriedly greeted her when she came, and said, "Madam, Mrs. Cai and your sister are here again, and they are going to live in peace again." This time, I brought Li'er with me, and when I came home, we left you a message, saying that the Duchess of the Luo family's autumn banquet would take them with them five days later. ”

"What?" Cai Qiran only felt that a swarm of flies flew towards her, disgusting and annoying.

The Luo family's banquet is clever and elegant, and there are not many people invited, if it weren't for Zheng Changchang and Luo's two concubines getting along well, even if the Guogong Mansion married them a turning point, this post would not have been handed over.

The post of the Guogong Mansion is mainly for Cai Qiuran, Zheng Changchang thought about Cai Qiuran's younger brother and sister, and asked for one, because it was not good to cross Anheju, so he also placed a copy, Lu Shi knew very well in his heart, she pushed the best, but she didn't expect that instead of pushing, she would take Liu and Cai Wanran together.

The mother and daughter are ugly, and they are her stepmother and sister, everyone thought that it would be taken by Cai Yuran, if they lose face, is it still Lu's face?

Cai Xuanran was disgusted and didn't care, but he was afraid that Zheng Changchang would lose face in front of the Luo family and lose face in the Mi family.

"The soldiers are coming, the water is coming to cover the earth, my two sisters were there that day, and you are not alone." Zheng Qijun comforted, "Besides, our grandmother has a good reputation, and those who are a little familiar with it know that you were raised under her knees, even if your stepmother and sister lose any ugliness, they will not laugh at you." ”

Cai was soothed a little, thinking of her grandmother's coughs, and she was a little worried in her heart.

Zheng Qijun said again: "This year's good autumn pears are coming slowly, and the best autumn pear paste is also slow, today I hurried out a few cans, and I will send them to my grandmother tomorrow, she eats it at the old man's house, and it is not a problem to sing a song." ”

"What kind of words, so that her old man heard it, wouldn't it be begging for a beating?" Cai couldn't help laughing, and after a few jokes and jokes, no matter how unhappy his thoughts were, they also dissipated at this time.

Although she was no longer awkward in her heart, Cai Yuran still informed her two sisters of the news in advance.

When Zheng Lingyi received the message from her, Zheng Changchang happened to be eating tea at her place, saving Chu's mother a lot of running.

"Mother Chu is tired, why don't you have a cup of tea before leaving?" Knowing that this mother had some face in front of Cai Yuran, Pei'er sent her out all the way.

"No, there's something going on in our yard." Mother Chu had a reward on her body, a light on her face, and left with a smile.

Pei'er stood in the doorway and blessed her, turned and walked inside, and met a man.

"Get out of the way." Pei'er said with a deliberately straight face.

Zhen Xin obediently let go, leaned at the boys who were secretly watching jokes, and followed Pei'er with his face on his face, until he reached the gate of the inner courtyard, Pei'er didn't pay attention to him, Zhen Xin looked at her back and let out, but there was no decadence on his face.
