Filial piety

A bowl of sweet and fragrant lotus seed soup, the second master An Lin drank tastelessly, "That...... Moon. He opened his mouth and called out the name of the Shen family.

The girl kneeling in the center of the hall, crying weakly and chokingly, wearing a plain green cloak, only sparsely embroidered with a few white flowers, and the Shen family who was dressed in lake blue and gold was imposing.

Shen glanced at the second master, who had finally gained courage, and let him die down with just one glance.

"The affairs of the back house, don't interfere with the master." Shen's attitude has always been like this, and the second master An Lin has been used to it for many years, "Okay, you are in charge, it's just ......" touched Shen's gaze, An Lin didn't dare to say any more, and stood up, "That's it, I still have something to do outside, you ......"

"Hezhi, send the master out." Shen drank a spoonful of lotus seed soup, too lazy to listen to him, and directly picked up people.

"Master An......" The delicate beauty voice did not hinder the pace of the second master of An Lin, only made him reluctantly glance back, "Mrs. is a reasonable person, you talk to her well, talk about it well......"

Shen covered the handkerchief and coughed lightly, this time the second master didn't even dare to reply, he swallowed back the words that he didn't finish, and he didn't need to send them with lotus branches, so he opened the curtain and left.

It is estimated that the beauty didn't expect the second master to be so bad in front of the Shen family, seeing that the second master of An Lin walked neatly, the crying paused, and glanced at the Shen family worriedly, looking at her with a smile but not a smile.

The beauty, who was already sobbing softly, could only play hard, "Mrs...... Mrs. Kai ...... Concubine ......"

"Concubine?" Shen waved his hand and asked the lotus branch to withdraw the lotus seed soup, and now he has no appetite for it, "The girl speaks carefully, you should call yourself a people's daughter, whose concubine are you, which lady nodded and asked you to enter the door of whose house?" ”

The little beauty twisted the handkerchief and changed her mouth, "Yes, but I don't dare to call myself a people's girl, my wife doesn't know anything, slave...... has been sold to the second master. ”

"So...... You should be my slave? Slaves and concubines are two different things. Shen looked at her, she really looked good, it was rare to have a voice, soft and soft, and it sounded tight, the second master really hadn't been like this before.

"In this case, I will sign the deed of sale first." The lotus leaf is literate, and when he heard the words, he wrote a deed of sale and threw it in front of the little beauty. "Sign it."

"This ...... This ......" The little beauty didn't expect Shen to take the deed of sale directly, "I'm also the daughter of a scholar, I ......"

"Someone, prepare your palm." Lotus Leaf raised her eyebrows high, stuck her waist, spicy and straight, "In front of my wife, a person who wants to sell himself is also worthy of calling me me?" Impatiently urged her, "Hurry up and sign it, become the slave of this family, and I will beat you." ”

The little beauty took the deed of sale, and was told by the lotus leaf that she was going to cry, she was not stupid, she really signed it, and life and death were all pinched in the palm of someone else's hand, but she didn't sign it...... It is impossible for the Shen family to let her enter the door, but even if she signs it, she will be a slave when she enters the door, and the Shen family will not allow her to be a concubine......

Gritting her teeth, the little beauty lost the deed of sale and knelt in front of the Shen family, "Mrs., Master An has a great kindness to the slave family, the slave family, the slave family...... I have already made a promise, and I hope that my wife will fulfill it. ”

"How did you make that promise?" Shen moved, dodging her hand that was about to grab the corner of her skirt, her voice was clear and cold, and she held a gold bamboo bone fan in her hand, fanning it unhurriedly, leisurely as if watching a play.

The little beauty blushed, "The slave was kneeling on the street at that time...... But someone molested...... It was Master An who saved the slave family and gave the slave family money to bury his father......"

She didn't mention that she was going to sell herself to bury her father.

Shen's eyebrows moved slightly, and his words were sarcastic, "The father's bones are not cold, and this daughter's heart is budding?" ”

didn't wait for the little beauty to speak again, "Come on, drag out this thing that doesn't understand filial piety and is incorruptible!" ”

"I'm not unvirtuous, I don't want to give my husband a concubine, but I can't allow a woman who is still in the filial piety period and doesn't think about her parents' kindness, but can't forget her foreign man's back house!"

"Such a reckless disregard for human ethics is not tolerated by heaven and earth, how can you enter and leave the house of the official eunuch and bring the reputation of others?!" Shen stood up, unwilling to look at her again, and went straight into the back room, and the lotus branches and lotus leaves hurriedly came over to help.

Shen quietly waved the hand of the lotus leaf, and the lotus leaf walked a few steps slowly, staying to watch the mother-in-law drag the little beauty away.

"I ...... I'm not...... I ......" The little beauty saw the hands of the two mothers-in-law twist their wrists, and panicked to justify, "I sold myself to bury my father, and I came to fulfill my promise......"

"What are you kidding? Selling his body to bury his father was reluctant to sign the deed of sale, but he opened his mouth and closed his mouth, what was the motivation of being a concubine...... Your father has just been buried! In this way, you don't dislike being embarrassed by a girl's family, and we are afraid of bringing our own reputation! Lotus Ye knew what Shen was keeping him for.

The people brought back by the second master, the wife didn't say no, she should have seen it, she should have asked, and she gave the old man face. Although he didn't stay, the reason is reasonable, and no one can say anything.

The wife has done what she should do, and the rest of the details, of course, are for the slaves and maids to share their worries.

"Hurry up and get out of the house, cover your mouth with a handkerchief, and send it to her local county order, such a woman who does not obey filial piety, don't have anything to do with us!" Lotus Ye covered her nose with a handkerchief, and her disgust was overflowing.

The little beauty was gagged, this time she cried sincerely, her hair was scattered, her clothes were messy, her voice was not soft, and she dragged it out in embarrassment.

In the back room, Hezhi carefully served a cup of chrysanthemum tea, "Mrs. drink some, clear the fire and regulate the qi." ”

Shen waved his hand and motioned for her to take it, "I don't need it, I'm not angry." ”

"No matter what, the second master always listens to you." Shen's expression was too calm and peaceful, but it made Lotus Zhi's heart beat a drum, took away the chrysanthemum tea, and knelt down to beat Shen's legs.

Seeing Hezhi's worried expression, Shen smiled and patted Hezhi's hand, "Silly boy, I'm fine." ”

"It's easy to deal with a problem like these three words, it's nothing, in the past, in the capital, those who rushed over to be concubines. It's called a lot of tricks. Shen thought of his mother-in-law in Jingli, and his eyes were full of nostalgia, "But there are also worry-free places in Beijing, my mother is deaf and clear-sighted, and she can't pass the same level." ”

"But ......," Shen himself was amused, "although the master is sweet, he is also timid, not that blindly stubborn, it's okay." ”

Didn't you take a fancy to him in the first place? Timid, obedient, and able to handle it yourself, although it is ...... However, I didn't want to find a single-minded person at the beginning, but I delayed others in vain.

"What do you want, ma'am?" The lotus branch beat her legs beside the Shen family, watching her stunned, and she didn't even know that the lotus leaf had come in.

"I didn't think about anything, but I just felt that my master and I were a natural pair." Shen's gaze lightly fell on his own legs, revealing a little tip of his shoe, and the colorful lotus flowers on it were beautiful.

The lotus leaf and lotus branch glanced at each other, and the lotus leaf, who is the most funny on weekdays, was the first to speak, "Yes, our old lady is a natural pair, and no one with those little hooves wants to climb the high branches!" ”

The crisp voice of the lotus leaf made Shen retract his gaze, "Driven out?" ”

Lotus Ye smiled slyly, "The slave sent her to the yamen, but the wife can rest assured, the slave told those mothers-in-law, and threw them at the door of the yamen, just scare and scare, and forgive her and don't dare to climb or anything." ”
