Chapter 8 Beloved Daughter Shen Qiutan
At night, the lights in the Taishou Mansion are visible.
Shen Qiutan, who was lost and depressed, was found by the maidservant, pressed in the bathtub and scrubbed, and when the whole body was fragrant, he was carried into a delicate and small courtyard.
The flowers and trees in the yard had withered, and the bark of the roots showed signs of being detained, but fortunately it was snowing, tidy and tidy, and with warm lights, so as not to be overly reminiscent of the drought. I heard that this is the courtyard of the eldest girl of the original Taishou Mansion, and the eldest girl is ten years old, and she is still a fool who can't speak.
The maid walked to the main courtyard with the cat in her arms, and someone opened the curtain from the inside, and a wave of heat came to her face.
In the small warm pavilion, there are three charcoal basins, the charcoal is like silver frost, and there is not much fireworks, Shen Qiutan knows through the little girl's thoughts and thoughts that this is the best silver frost charcoal.
"Washed?" The girl had just cleaned her face, and was applying balm at the moment, and the peony mixed with the fragrance of gardenia was in the warm air, and the girl's face was more polished.
The maid smiled and nodded, for the girl liked it, and they bathed the kitten more carefully than they bathed themselves. I'm afraid that this cat is a little unclean, which annoys the big girl.
"Come on...... Come and give me a hug, little girl. ”
The girl stretched out her hand to the maidservant, and the maid immediately sent Shen Qiutan up, but Shen Qiutan "meowed" and rushed to the ground.
"Little thing, still recognize life!"
Shen Qiutan was offering his body, his tail was raised high, and he looked like a person should not enter.
This girl smiled lightly and gently, but Shen Qiutan couldn't forget the ruthlessness and skill of her slapping perilla during the day. Her kindness is all pretended, right?
Seeing that the kitten in front of her was on guard, the girl withdrew her hand, showed a sneer, and said indifferently: "Forget it, take it away." ”
The little beast doesn't know how to lift up like this, which is disappointing in the end.
drove out all the waiters, the lights and shadows were bright, and the girl picked up the book boredly, and put it down after reading it for a long time, and there was always a feeling of anxiety in her heart that she couldn't suppress. She strives to be perfect in her work, and if the pair of sisters and brothers of the Shen family are not found, she will not be aware of it for a day. Before she knew it, her eyes were gradually empty, and her thoughts had drifted away.
It is true that I went to Xiaoyue Lake in the morning to find the Shen family's sisters and brothers, and that stupid sister can not care, but the little man has to be guarded, and the group of people who seemed to appear out of thin air last night, could it be the Shen family? Or is it the one in the middle of the court?
The candle flame sounded and a light burst into flames, and the girl was unmoved and continued to think.
It stands to reason that he has ...... If you are dead, will there be so many people who will die for a dead person? Or is something unpredictable going on? Is that one still alive? Will there be anyone like you......
She was taken aback by this idea of her own, and deliberately avoided it.
The delay in the arrival of the imperial court's disaster relief grain payment originally showed that it was the result of too much turmoil in the court, and perhaps everything was overthought by himself.
As for Shen Yanfeng, they all said that he was pedantic and loyal and did not know how to be flexible, but if he dared to defend the city, he should have something to rely on. Daddy, a small soldier Cao joined the army and dared to pull a big banner to rebel, borrowing the right time and place, just like that, he also relied on behind him, Shen Yanfeng grew up in the Shen family in Gyeonggi, and he was exposed to it since he was a child, if he said that he was a pure minister, he would not believe it if he killed her.
It's just that now that the situation in Beijing is unpredictable, who is the person standing behind Shen Yanfeng?
…………
The maid took Shen Qiutan out, threw it away at will, and no longer cared about the life or death of a cat, after all, just now, this kitten fell out of favor.
Shen Qiutan didn't care, she took a step away and swayed around in this house.
The deaths of Shisu and Meishan lingered in her mind, making her unable to calm down. Unknowingly, she walked into a larger courtyard, which was heavily guarded in front and behind the door.
It seems that there is a very important place inside.
The night became darker and heavier, and Shen Qiutan jumped up lightly and climbed to the top of the city.
The delicacies were sent into a room like flowing water, and Shen Qiutan's little meat pad had already followed into the room without making the slightest sound. Hey, sometimes it's better to be a cat than a cat.
Yuan Ben was facing away from the door, being served to clean his hands, and when he wiped the water off his hands and turned around, Shen Qiutan also hid it.
The round table is full, the dishes are very rich, and there are a lot of millet cakes to satisfy hunger.
Yuan Ben was thinking while eating, and Shen Qiutan pricked up his ears, wanting to "hear" what he was thinking.
"According to Yingxin's strategy, he finally relented and began to supply grain to Jibei Prefecture, which can be regarded as a solution to the urgent need, but what about the future? I need to be bigger and bigger, so that the person feels that he is more profitable. ”
Shen Qiutan quietly hid behind the autumn fragrant curtain, and did not dare to make a sound. Who are the "Yingxin" and "that" mentioned in the fat man's heart? Is there really no food in Jibei Prefecture? That's not what the people in the house think.
If the truth is not revealed, will Lord Shen bear the notoriety of refusing to release food and allowing the people to be strewn with corpses?
At this time, people attach great importance to fame, and even more so after death.
Through the art of mind reading, Shen Qiutan took a short time to understand the general process of the whole thing. He hadn't seen Lord Shen, but at this time, he didn't want him to be indiscriminately branded as notorious at all.
But now that I'm a cat, how can I reveal the truth?
"Yingxin is really a blue heart, and her wisdom is better than Zhuge , I didn't expect that I, a rough person, could give birth to such a brilliant daughter."
Shen Qiutan's cat eyes narrowed, his daughter? It turns out that the girl's name is Yingxin? Sure enough, my father boasted that he didn't collect taxes.
What kind of plan did she give to this old fat man? Also, what kind of background does it have to be able to have food in store and a group of rebels alive during the famine? Who has the audacity? Yuan Ben did it, but it was a rebellion.
Shen Qiutan thought seriously.
"Who is it?"
Yuan Ben put down the chopsticks, the fat body was very agile, he opened the curtain, and saw a little flower cat nesting there, and playing with the curtain, very happy.
"Whew!" Yuan Ben's heart was put down, kicked the kitten, and sat back at the dinner table, but this movement, someone came to take the little flower cat away.
…………
Shen Qiutan was lost three times in a day, and he was a little depressed.
After looking for a long time, she went into the kitchen and ate a small half pot of millet porridge before she came back to life.
Although she had never met that Lord Shen, she wanted to do something for him.
The moon was hidden in the thin clouds, and the obscure light sprinkled down, adding a bit of coldness, Shen Qiutan wandered for a long time, and finally found a quiet corner where no one was around, which was a firewood house, and then nested into a ball and fell into a deep sleep.
She herself felt that she was still human, and naturally she didn't want to go out day and night like a real cat.
Xu was physically and mentally exhausted, and this night, she quickly fell asleep, and then, she had a dream.
In the dream, a man was bathed in golden light, making it impossible to see his appearance clearly, but his voice made Shen Qiutan warm and reassuring.
The man carved a new mark on the rosewood plaque, blew off the sawdust, and put it back on the girl's neck: "Look, come and see, this is your name." His withered fingers swiped over the six words on the wooden sign, from two small characters to four large characters: "Beloved daughter, Shen's Qiutan." ”
"My daughter is ten years old." He touched the girl's smooth cheek and brought out some emotion: "We are really good-looking, and we are not stupid, but we don't want to open our eyes to this muddy world." ”
Shen Qiutan felt that she was in the girl's body, or she was the girl herself, but she wanted to move and make a little sound, but she couldn't.
