Chapter 169: The Second Lady's Secret
Sheng Yanwei shuddered, he hurriedly hid behind the second lady, "Mother, what are you doing all this, weird!" ”
The second lady hates that iron is not steel, "Let you go to incense as soon as possible, where are there so many things?" ”
Sheng Yanwei shook his head, "I don't do it, why should I incense him." After he finished speaking, he ran out of the Buddha hall with a puff of smoke.
The second lady let out a long sigh, she had to take a stick of incense by herself, insert it in the incense burner in front of the tablet, and said, "Cousin, I know that you died unjustly." I kindly let you leave Qingshui Town, who would have thought that the ship had an accident at sea. If I had known this, I would rather you go to jail than let you escape. ”
She burned paper money as she spoke, "Don't blame Yanwei, he doesn't know anything, I will remember your kindness to him." When he knows about it in the future, he will definitely think of your goodness, kowtow to you on a few days of your birthday every year, and burn paper money. ”
A gust of wind blew, and the half-burned incense broke at the waist, and the ashes of the incense fell in a stream.
Outside the Buddhist hall, a strange smile appeared on the corner of Xu Xinyue's mouth, and she said in her heart, I see.
My good mother-in-law, you have bullied me for so many years and killed my children, and soon, I will give you a taste of the ruin of your family.
Ma Fugui's death is full of strange things.
Sheng Yanqing said: "That day he was going to take a cargo ship going north, the ship left the dock well, but he died in the sea, someone must have done something here." ”
Shen Yu nodded, "Ma Fugui and the second lady are in the same boat, maybe the second lady saw that the matter was exposed, and killed Ma Fugui to kill her." Including the money that went missing, it must also be related to the second lady. ”
Money is enough to make many people perfidy.
Sheng Yanqing also agreed with this point of view, and he said to Shen Yu with some worry: "Although the housekeeping power is in your hands now, but the affairs of the second room, let's interfere less, the second lady even dares to kill Ma Fugui, she can do anything." ”
Shen Yu nodded obediently, he was caring about her.
In a blink of an eye, it is the Qingming Festival, and the custom of Qingshui Town is to sweep the tomb and go green.
The ancestral tomb of the Sheng family is on a nearby mountain, the old lady has inconvenient legs and feet, and she has not been on the mountain for several years.
Sheng Yanqing said: "Grandmother, Xu'er has officially passed into the Sheng family and is a descendant of the Sheng family. I want to take him with me this time to visit the grave. ”
The old lady had this intention, nodded and said: "You bring a few more subordinates, take care of them, the mountain road is not easy to walk, don't bump into it." ”
If you want to take care of the children, or the mother is the most concerned, the old lady thought for a while, and said: "This time to sweep the tomb, Ayu will also go with you." In the first year after the daughter-in-law passed the door, she had to work hard. Children are at the age of fun, and I am relieved to have her there. ”
Sheng Yanqing said, "Listen to grandmother." ”
The weather is getting warmer and the spring flowers are blooming, it is a good time for an outing, and Shen Yu can't wait to find a chance to go out for a walk.
This time she didn't feel that climbing the mountain was the contrary, she was full of expectations.
Now, she is housekeeper, and many things are much more convenient. The sacrifices for sweeping the tomb and the maids and women who went with her were all arranged by her, and they were naturally trustworthy.
On the day of Qingming, she got up early, dressed Sheng Jinxu, and then had a good look in the mirror, and led Sheng Jinxu into the carriage.
From the Sheng family to the foot of the mountain, they took a carriage, Shen Yu and Sheng Jinxu were one, and Sheng Yanqing followed on horseback.
The warm spring breeze blew on her face, and Shen Yu couldn't help but lift the curtain and enjoy the scenery outside.
In the Qingming season, the earth is rejuvenated, and the Sheng family compound is still quiet, and the outside is already red and willow green, and it is purple and red.
Shen Yu's mood also became relaxed, and while walking, she explained to Sheng Jinxu what flowers and trees were outside.
After walking for a while, Sheng Jinxu felt bored and clamored to get out of the car.
He pointed at Sheng Yanqing and said, "Mother, I also want to ride a big horse like my second uncle!" ”
Shen Yu said: "People are not as tall as horses, but you can tell me, how do you ride a horse?" Don't look at that horse, your second uncle is riding obediently, in fact, it is very fierce. ”
Sheng Jinxu seemed to believe it or not, "I don't care, the second uncle said that I am already a man." ”
Shen Yu shook her head and looked at Sheng Yanqing for help, I don't know when it started, this child has a kind of blind worship for Sheng Yanqing, she really can't control it.
Sheng Yanqing drove over, he lowered his head and asked, "Xu'er, do you really want to ride a horse?" Not afraid of falling on your heels? ”
Sheng Jinxu thought for a moment, as if he had made up his mind, and shook his head vigorously, "Don't be afraid." ”
"That's good!" Sheng Yanqing was hearty, he suddenly bent down, fished out Sheng Jinxu from the carriage with his long arms, and put it on the horse's back.
Sheng Jinxu exclaimed, glanced at the ground timidly, and cautiously stretched out his hand and grabbed Sheng Yanqing's sleeve.
Shen Yu was also taken aback, she said angrily, "It's okay for the child to mess around, why are you still indulging him?" ”
Sheng Yanqing smiled silently, gently shook the reins, and drove the horse forward.
The road was not fast, the horse was just trotting, Sheng Yanqing grabbed the reins with one hand and stopped Sheng Jinxu with the other, and walked very carefully.
Seeing that the two of them were talking and laughing, Shen Yu hated to find a horse to ride.
It's just that in Qingshui Town, if she rides a horse with a young grandmother who doesn't go out of one gate and no one at the other door, there may be some gossip tomorrow.
Seeing Sheng Jinxu having so much fun, Shen Yu suddenly understood that in this world, men really come first. Since Xu'er is a boy, he should be carefree and do what he wants.
Sheng Jinxu was playing today, and when he climbed the mountain, he walked faster than Shen Yu, and several family members were huddled, and he didn't dare to blink his eyes, for fear that he would fall and touch him.
Shen Yu and Sheng Yanqing walked behind and spoke quietly.
Shen Yu rubbed her arm and said, "I really hope that Xu'er will grow up quickly, I'm tired of being a mother halfway." Along the way, he had fun, and my arm was very sore. ”
Sheng Yanqing said: "I think Xu'er is very sensible. ”
Shen Yu glanced at Sheng Yanqing with a smile, and said sourly: "I think you are quite good at taking care of children, I should have known that I should have sent Xu'er to Fenglin Yuan often, so that he could learn from his good second uncle." When he goes back today, I'm afraid he'll have to talk about it for a while. ”
Sheng Yanqing said: "There is a saying, one sings white-faced, and the other sings red-faced. It's my role that I chose correctly, indulge him, coax him, and he will naturally feel close to me. ”
Shen Yu said helplessly: "In this way, I can only go and sing with a white face." ”
The ancestral tomb of the Sheng family was on the mountain, and after sweeping the tomb and going to the grave, the group began to walk back.
Sheng Jinxu didn't know when there was a wicker woven hat in his hand, and some small flowers were inserted on it, like a flower crown.
