Chapter 34: The Dumb Man Speaks
"Is it that you're back?"
Although the voice is old, it is also loud, and it sounds like it can live for many years.
The corners of Shen Qiutan's mouth bent, and she saw an old man in good spirits walking in, she stood in place and did not move.
"Why don't you kneel when you see your grandfather?"
Only then did Shen Qiutan say: "I have knelt down, but ...... I was looking for relatives for thousands of miles, but my relatives regarded me as an enemy. After speaking, he smiled wryly.
Sure enough, I can speak!
Isn't the granddaughter dumb or stupid? The old marquis looked at her for a moment, his eyes swept through the crowd again, and finally fell on the face of the old Yang family, and he snorted coldly before he said to Shen Qiutan: "I came back all the way, and I heard from the porter that my granddaughter is back, and I can still talk well, I still didn't believe it, but I didn't expect it to be so." ”
Shen Qiutan said abruptly: "My father and mother died, my granddaughter's heart was like a collapse in the sky, and I couldn't help but die, on the day Yuan Ben slaughtered the city, I was knocked on the head by the nurse and thrown into the lake, both physically and mentally painful, and then I passed out. The doctor said that it was a heavy blow to the head and severe pain in his heart that suddenly opened his mind......
These are things she has thought about a long time ago, after all, she has gone from being a fool and mute to being able to speak well, and there must be a reason.
The girl in men's clothes told the story, it sounded common, Qiao Shan and Wangshan's faces had changed a few times, it turned out that the big girl had suffered so much, and that nurse, she really damned, she dared to treat the big girl like this!
"Oh? My granddaughter will be blessed if she doesn't die, do you remember who saved you? ”
Shen Qiutan's black and white eyes looked left and right, revealing a shy look, and after thinking about it, he beckoned to the old marquis, the old marquis bent down slightly, and Shen Qiutan lay on his ear: "......"
All:......
When the old marquis heard half of it, his expression had changed, and he was still scrutinizing, but he was almost convinced after listening to it, and other than that, there seemed to be a strange light flashing in his eyes.
"I only told my grandfather about this, and my grandfather must not tell anyone else."
A pair of eyes, smiling crookedly, childish and cute, how can there be the cold and hard and aggressive just now?
Old Yang's posterior molars creaked.
Sure enough, like her father and mother, they are all two-faced and three-stabbed.
"I have suffered, and the rest will be asked another day." The old marquis commanded very compassionately, and said to Shen Qiutan: "You go and wash well first, change your clothes, and tonight, grandfather will pick you up." ”
Shen Qiutan sneered in his heart, but there was a look of surprise on his face: "Thank you, grandfather." ”
Old Yang said generously: "Take her to Shuyuzhai, it is quiet and the most suitable for self-cultivation." ”
Shuyuzhai is indeed quiet, there were two concubines who died there, although they were cleaned up early, but few people dared to approach on weekdays. I heard that if you look at it from a distance at night, you will get chills all over your body.
Isn't it quiet?
"Where do the other sisters live? How close is it to Soyu Zhai? Shen Qiutan looked at the old marquis a little shyly: "My granddaughter has just returned home, and I can't remember anything clearly when I was young, and I really want to be close to my sisters and sisters." ”
When the old lady saw her behaving like this, she was even more disdainful.
But the old marquis remembered what his granddaughter said in his ear just now, if his granddaughter really fell into that person's eyes...... He glanced at the old lady coldly, this person is really getting older and more confused: "Shuyuzhai is not suitable, clean up the agarwood house." ”
Everyone gasped, Agarwood House is the only daughter of the old Marquis and the old Yang family, where Shen Zhenniang lived before leaving the pavilion, this generation of the old Marquis only has one daughter, the family was better at that time, it was because the husband and wife were very fond of this daughter, and the Agarwood House was repaired at that time. But in this generation, the more and more daughters of the Shen family are born, naturally they are not so expensive, but now the place where they live is getting more and more crowded, and this agarwood residence has always been empty.
In the old lady's heart, it was her daughter's thing, and no one could touch it.
None of the three daughters-in-law and granddaughters of the Shen family have never thought about Agarwood House, but they don't want to be cut off by a dilapidated household that came out halfway.
As soon as the old marquis said this, the Yao family's face was a little unsightly, not to mention the old Yang family. But no matter how much you think about it, the old marquis is still the head of the family.
This matter, even if the dust settles.
…………
When he arrived at Agarwood Residence, Shen Qiutan first took a bath while being served by the maids, and as soon as he changed his clothes, he ordered a little maid next to him to carry Changzhen over.
The maid was in a frenzy.
Shen Qiutan's face changed: "What?" I don't need you? ”
"No, nine girls, the third son is a foreign man, and the girl is a boudoir woman, how can it be good...... How can we meet in private? ”
Shen Qiutan simply laughed angrily, this maid will not find a good reason to find a good one: "Changzhen is only six months old, we are sisters and brothers, you tell me about male and female defense?" ”
The maid's eyes flickered, and she was speechless for a while, she really couldn't find a better reason to stop it, but after all, she had a life.
Shen Qiutan shook his head: "So obedient, stay and watch the house." ”
It seems that the Shen family is indeed overstretched, and they want to monitor and control themselves, but they can't find a capable girl.
The maid's face turned white, and she naturally knew in her heart that the obedience in the mouth of the ninth girl was who she was listening to.
Agarwood House is indeed spacious, here is different from the ordinary courtyard, but according to the boudoir women's show building built, there are two floors, the upper floor is divided into east and west wings, there is another embroidery room, study room and dressing room in the middle, the next floor is a spacious flower hall, used to entertain guests is no better; There are also two transepts on either side of the attic, one for a kitchenette and one for people.
Moreover, this attic faces the water, and the lotus is planted in the water, and the meandering water flows to the small garden; One side is planted with flowers and trees, and the song is beautiful.
There are peony and begonia in spring, lotus and jasmine in summer, chrysanthemum in autumn, and plum in winter.
Shen Qiutan only glanced at it cursoryly, and then walked out: "Lead the way, I want to see Changzhen." ”
This time, the remaining maids hesitated slightly, and then led the way for Shen Qiutan.
…………
As soon as Shen Qiutan walked into Qingfeng Garden, he heard a faint cry from a distance.
She couldn't help but quicken her steps, this cry couldn't be someone else's.
Shen Changzhen was less than six months old, and he was supposed to live with his parents, but his parents died early, and it was not impossible to follow his grandparents, but like Lao Yang, he was unwilling to even do superficial work. So, Shen Changzhen was taken by his nurse to live in Qingfeng Garden, which was the original courtyard of Shen Yanfeng and his wife, and the size was less than half of the Agarwood House. Qingfeng Yuan has been used as a warehouse all these years, and it is also because Shen Changzhen came back that it has just been cleaned up.
Qingfeng Yuan is really a breeze with two sleeves, except for crying, no one can see a few, Shen Qiutan was worried about his younger brother, and entered the door regardless of it.
In the house, an eight- or nine-year-old little maid hugged the milk doll Xiao Changzhen, wanted to coax but couldn't coax, wanted to put it but couldn't put it small, there was no choice but to hug the two and cry together.
The girl who was waiting was just a child, Shen Qiutan shook her head, went up to pick up her brother, and asked the little girl: "What is your name, what about the others, what about the nurse?" ”
Seeing that the little brother's face was red from crying, Shen Qiutan's heart was soft. She has no brothers and sisters in modern times, and now she has a younger brother all of a sudden, and An Neng doesn't care?
The little maid whispered: "The slave's name is Wu'er, and Mother Gui is imprisoned in the firewood room......"
Shen Qiutan was exposed, it seemed that he was still harmed, he came, he had a seizure of Gui Niang, and his younger brother ran out of milk to eat: "Isn't it a nurse in the dignified Hou Mansion?" First go to the kitchen and bring a bowl of rice porridge paste. ”
The little girl still had tears on her face, but she was happy when she heard the words, why didn't she think that she could feed some rice cereal?
After some tossing, Xiao Changzhen finally stopped crying, and fell asleep in a daze, and Shen Qiutan was also dressed and ready to go to the banquet.
