In the last book, it was said that the Gu family glanced at the Chen family.

Chen followed Gu's line of sight and looked over, just when he saw Jiang Xinshan's coy appearance, he was ashamed in his heart, and said with a smile: "Brother and sister, Xiao Dan on stage is in excellent shape, let's watch the play." ”

……

Looking back, Wang Xi was lying on the roof of Tingfeng Xuan's side room on a hot day, and he didn't dare to move. *The spicy sun hits the body, and the fire is like a roast, and the heat is unbearable. In that room, the two warblers and Yanyan were drinking chilled mung bean soup, talking and laughing, so happy.

Wang Xi thought that this errand was no better than the old lady playing the board.

I only heard a charming female voice: "Sister Yinggui, today's mung bean soup is really delicious, sweet but not greasy, very refreshing, Sister Yinggui is very capable!" ”

"Some people can't stop your mouth when you eat, eat quickly, you can't do without people in the lady's room." The woman who is called Yinggui is soft.

"Brother Hao is really cute, Miss Strange Dao is so spoiled, the hot day, hold it in her hand, and don't let anyone hug it, but let our maids rest on the side. Miss is weak, how can she withstand it after a long time? ”

Yinggui said: "Didn't you see that Brother Hao didn't let anyone hug him except Miss?" Isn't it a sister-brother relationship? Miss is usually very lazy, and it is good for her to be more active,"

"Our young lady is good at everything, but she doesn't like to move around. Today's Shenfu cruise ship is very lively. Sister Yinggui, you're fine, and I saw Miss once, like a few of us, where is this blessing? ”

Yinggui said with a smile: "Bi Moss, do you think that the Shen Mansion spends money to entertain guests, and it is a banquet and a cruise ship, where is it as simple as eating, drinking, and having fun on the noodles." Miss said, Quyi also depends on who is welcomed, but it is just a picture. ”

Bi Tao said: "Miss Strange Dao is unwilling to go? ”

"Don't say it's Miss, it's me, and I'm too lazy to go. The ladies and ladies were all dressed up like flowers. It's not more beautiful than clothes, or it's more expensive than jewelry, and I smile at you, and I don't know what to calculate. It's hot again. There are a lot of people, it's like cooking dumplings, and the things in Shen Mansion are unpalatable, so they are in our courtyard. We are maids, and we can't take a step away and collide with someone, but it's a fatal thing. I've seen it. ”

Bi Taojiao smiled: "In this way, then there is a big wife, a second wife, and a big grandmother today." The third lady dared to suffer from it. ”

"It's not that I'm offended, but fortunately, Miss is smart and can't get sick early. Hey, Brother Hao is afraid that he is going to have a snack, so I went to the kitchen. ”

Bi Moss hurriedly said: "Sister Yinggui is going quickly." Weiyun, they are afraid that they are tired, I will keep this mung bean soup for them, and I will go to the young lady's room to change them. Then there was a faint sound of footsteps, and the room was silent.

Wang Xi gritted his teeth when he heard this, and he hated it in his heart.

Oh my lord. Master, where is the fourth young lady sick, people are obviously unwilling to come to Shen Mansion. He moved his numb limbs, wiped the sweat from his face, and silently climbed down the eaves.

……

Half an hour later, Wang Xi stood in front of the desk in stinky sweat. Balabala breathed the news to Shen Li without breathing.

Shen Li listened, sat in the Taishi chair without saying a word, his fingers gently tapped the table in a rhythmic manner, and only after a while did he say: "You lie on the roof of the house for an hour, and you hear such a few words?" ”

Wang Xi said aggrievedly: "Master." Blue sky and white sun, where do you let me hide? People in the Jiang Mansion come and go, maids and maids can be seen everywhere, and there are more people listening to Fengxuan. In order to find a place to stay, I circled around Jiang's Mansion several times. ”

Shen Li glanced at him in disgust and waved him out.

Wang Xi retreated with a grudge on his face, saying in his heart that this errand was done, and he was really aggrieved.

Shen Li had planned well today, and the ladies returned to the house after swimming and found an excuse to see her. knew that she loved to watch dramas, so she specially begged the old man and invited the Beijing opera troupe to come. Unexpectedly, the girl didn't regard Shen Mansion as a wolf's den and a tiger's den at all, and she couldn't avoid it.

After many days of careful preparation, it was in vain. Shen Li couldn't help but feel lost, so he supported his forehead with his hand and pondered for a long time. After a pillar of incense, he suddenly got up, picked up the pen and paper, and waited for the pen and ink to dry, put it in an envelope, wrote the envelope, and shouted: "Wang Xi." “

Poor Wang Xi just changed his clothes, picked up the tea and didn't drink a few sips, then he heard Shen Li call him, and hurriedly put down the tea cup and ran in: "Master, what's the matter?" ”

"Send an inconspicuous servant to deliver the letter to the Jiang Mansion, and you will follow far behind."

"Master, how do you get there? ......" Wang Xi asked.

"Above board, I walked with confidence, I didn't need to say more, I handed over the letter, and just left."

"Master, do you want people to know that you sent it?"

Shen Li sneered: "I just said that it was sent by the Shen Mansion, if she is smart, she will know with a guess." ”

Wang Xi took the envelope, looked at it suspiciously, and flew out.

……

Listening to Fengxuan, Jiang Xinyao had just put Brother Hao to sleep, and she was so tired that she was crooked on the bamboo collapse and closed her eyes to recuperate.

Mother Li hurriedly came in and stepped forward and said softly, "Miss, the concierge just sent a letter." ”

Jiang Xinyao was too lazy to move, and said, "Mom, this will be very tired, and I'll see it later." ”

Mother Li hurriedly said: "Miss, I heard that it was sent by a living person, so let's take a look." ”

Jiang Xinyao had no choice but to take the envelope and take a look, Miss Jiang Si personally opened it, the font rules were strict, and when she looked at the letter, there were only two lines of words:

There are tears in the pearl of the sea and the moon, and the blue field is warm and the jade is smoking.

Jiang Xinyao was shocked, and when she saw Mother Li looking at her anxiously, she quietly comforted: "Mom, it's not a big deal, it's a poem, who is the person who sent the letter?" ”

Mother Li said: "I heard from the concierge that the person who came claimed to be from the Shen Mansion. The rest, I won't say anything more. ”

Jiang Xinyao said with a smile: "I'm afraid that Sister Xinyue didn't go when she saw me today, so she played with me, and specially asked someone to send a poem, so my mother doesn't have to worry." ”

Mother Li saw that the young lady was calm, so she only made a false alarm, stroked her chest and smiled: "Scared my mother to death, I thought something happened to the shop, it's okay." Miss, it's not that my mother is too talkative, it's better to be careful, now that our shop is booming, there may be people with red eyes, who knows what they have in mind. Ming'er, I have to go and make the money shopkeeper and those guys keep their mouths tight. ”

Jiang Xinyao said with a smile: "On such a hot day, my mother is resting at home, how can you go in person for these things?" In case of heat stroke, I can't feel sorry for me. Mom, don't worry, I know it. ”

Mother Li patted Miss's hand and said, "Over the years, Miss has not let me do anything, and has become an idler, a slave, more idle than Mrs. and Miss." With Miss, my mother enjoyed great blessings. ”

Jiang Xinyao said angrily: "My yard is up and down, inside and out, isn't it all controlled by my mother?" Let the maids do these errands. Mom, go, I'm going to be sleepy, I'll have to squint for a while, Brother Hao won't know when I'll wake up. ”

Mother Li gently closed the door.

Xin Yao picked up the letter and read it carefully to see if she could find some clues.

Looking at the font, it should be written by a man, and the pen is fast. The Shen family, hmph, how could the Shen prefect be idle and send such a headless letter to Jiang Xinyao.

The sentence "There are tears in the pearl of the sea and the moon, and the blue field is warm and the jade is smoking" is from Li Shangyin's "Jin Se":

Jin Se gratuitous fifty strings, one string and one pillar Si Hua Nian,

Zhuang Shengxiao dreams of butterflies, and hopes that the emperor will trust the cuckoo in spring.

There are tears in the pearl of the sea and the moon, and the blue field is warm and the jade is smoking.

This situation can be recalled, but it was already clear at the time.

Jiang Xinyao took this sentence to tell everyone: Although beautiful jade is produced in Lantian Mountain, the real beautiful jade cannot be dug up at any time, and it requires countless hard work and sweat from jade miners. But all good things are often accompanied by pain and hardship. Like a beautiful jade, looking at the brilliance, who knows the bitterness in it. So, she hung these two meaningful words at the door of the store.

Then, in other words, the person who sent the letter must have been to Jinjue Pavilion and read these two sentences. I've been to the store recently, and it's a person from the Shen Mansion, who else will there be besides that goods? So, what does Shen Li want to express when he writes such a headless and tailless letter? The last time I went to the store with my brother, was it intentional or unintentional?

Jiang Xinyao sneered, this haunted person, I was afraid that she would be checked out earlier.

Now that Shen Li already knew that he was the person behind the Jinjue Pavilion, was this letter a gesture of goodwill or a threat at this time? If it is a gesture of goodwill, what is he trying to do, if it is a threat...... Recently, I heard Yuan Chen say that the eldest master of the Shen family was promoted to the left deputy imperial envoy of the Metropolitan Procuratorate......

Jiang Xinyao couldn't help but have a splitting headache, and she couldn't wait to prick a villain, write the word Shen Li, and poke seventy or eighty needles at it before she could relieve her hatred.

I could only hear the little maid outside's reply, the two wives, the eldest grandmother and the third lady had just returned to the house, and were going to the old lady's room to say goodbye.

Jiang Xinyao had an idea, straightened her hair, straightened her clothes, explained the light moon, Weiyun said a few words, and went to Guiyun Hall with Yinghui.

When Xin Yao arrived, everyone had just taken their seats. Xin Yao stepped forward to give the old lady, and the wives said goodbye, and sat quietly under her mother.

The old lady was very interested, and when she saw that Brother Chen was sweating, she motioned to the maid to wipe Brother Chen with a wet towel, and asked with a smile: "Brother Chen went to my grandmother's house today, but what is delicious and fun?" ”

Jiang Zichen was five or six years old, and his demeanor was cute: "Great grandmother, there are many people in my grandmother's family, they are all dressed in colorful clothes, the snacks are delicious, the skills of singing in the hall are really good, and the voice is also bright. It's a pity that the great-grandson doesn't understand it well. ”

The old lady smiled and said, "Study hard, and in a few years, you will naturally understand." Grandma, dare to find a good gentleman and enlighten Brother Chen. ”

Shen smiled and said, "Old lady, you forgot, Brother Chen'er has been enlightened, and he is following Mr. to read and write." ”

The old lady sighed: "When you are old, you will forget what the front foot said." ”

Shen smiled: "Where is the old lady?" Today, my mother asked about you, and I replied that the old lady was in good spirits, ate well, slept well, and must have lived a long life. ”(..)
