In the last book, it was mentioned that Li's mother asked Mrs. Xinyao what was the trick?

Xin Yao's eyes showed a slight sadness, but she didn't answer the question, and said vaguely: "Mom, as long as you know that the old lady is at the helm of the Jiang Mansion, you can understand it by looking at the marriage of the second sister." ”

Mother Li said: "It's no wonder that the old lady is not to blame, but the gentlemen in the mansion are more interesting...... Phew, Miss forgive me, blame my mother for my unbridled mouth, where can I say these words as a slave maid. ”

Xin Yao nodded and said, "These words are indeed not something that my mother can say, even me, and I can't say it." Everyone has his own way of living, and he doesn't have to be a high-ranking official. I look at the uncle, and the big brother is very good. ”

Mother Li twisted the handkerchief again, covered it for a while, and saw that the redness and swelling had receded slightly, so she was relieved.

At this time, the big housekeeper took the girl, and the mother-in-law sent the fourth lady everything in the room. Jiang Xinyao was too lazy to get up, so she asked Li's mother to deal with it.

Today's battle, Jiang Xinyao won the battle with great joy. From the day Jiang Xinshan deliberately broke the vase and raised her foot to twist the plum blossom on the sole of her foot, she wanted to slap Jiang Xinshan's arrogant face. Now that she has got what she wants, Jiang Xinyao only regrets that she didn't draw any heavier.

After a while, the girl next to the eldest lady gave the fourth lady a plaster to reduce swelling and stasis. Immediately afterwards, Mingyu sent sixteen beauty screens for the eldest grandmother to marry. The old lady brought two pots of narcissus with a fragrant fragrance.

Jiang Xinyao was annoyed, and said that she was unwell, so she only asked Li's mother to come forward.

At the time of the lamp, Jiang Yuanchen entered the door with a small face, looked left and right at Xin Yao's face, felt uncomfortable, but did not say anything, and told his sister to rest. Since then, Jiang Yuanchen has spent more time in the study.

……

A turmoil subsided, and the Chiang Mansion returned to tranquility. A few days later, the Gu family personally visited the grandmother of the Shen Mansion.

Zhang politely sent Gu away, and then replied to the old lady.

Old lady Shen asked about the Jiang Mansion carefully, and then thought of the little grandson's abnormal behavior in the past two days. only sighed: "It's a pity, if it's really a clever person." ”

Shen Li was politely rejected by Jiang Xinyao, who was originally a little talkative, but he said less and less.

He often recalls the conversation they had that day. reciting the sentence in "Midnight Song", 'Joyful in the heart of the day, facing the east and returning to the west', I only felt that my seventeen years of life were as blank as paper. Knowing that the second wife personally came to the door to refuse to kiss, Shen Li was even more heartbroken.

A few days later, Shen Li proposed to Mrs. Shen that he wanted to go out to enjoy the mountains and rivers again.

The old man pondered for a long time, and only said lightly: "There are three realms in life: one is to look at the mountains and see the water; The second is to look at the mountain is not a mountain, and the water is not water; The third is to look at the mountain or the mountain, and the water is still the water. Ali, why do you have to be deliberate in everything? ”

Shen Li recalled: "Grandfather. She said, 'Everything is everything, pay attention to the word fate, and the water will come naturally.' 'How could a thirteen-year-old lady say such an epiphany?' Grandfather, you don't know. Her eyes when she looked at me were ethereal, sad, as if she was looking at me, but not at me, I couldn't figure her out. ”

"Ali, it's a good thing and a bad thing that your grandfather has brought you with you since you were a child. In the end, there is less experience. ”

Old Lady Shen sighed lightly.

"That girl, who grew up in such an environment since she was a child, is smart and tight, and is at the helm of Jinjue Pavilion at a young age, it is not surprising that she can say such things. Between her and you. 108,000 miles apart. You just saw the mountain is the mountain, but she has already seen the water or the water. Even if this family affair can be accomplished, there will be no harmony between husband and wife in the future. You have been moved and disturbed, but she has never taken you to heart. ”

"Grandfather!"

The old lady waved his hand. "Well, grandfather gave you two choices today, one is to return to the capital, and the other is to stay in the army for a few years and experience experience."

Shen Lisu said: "Grandfather, I am willing to go to the army, and my grandson is not afraid of hardship." ”

The old man's eyes lit up and he praised: "Good man, he is a golden iron horse to protect his family and defend the country." Our Shen family has always valued literature over martial arts, and among so many children and grandchildren, I am optimistic about you alone. My grandfather is tired of living in Suzhou Mansion, so let's go back to Beijing and go to the northwest to play for another two years while I can still walk. ”

Shen Li smiled bitterly: "Grandfather, don't make a mess, raise flowers and yoyo birds in Beijing, and wait for my grandson and me to come back." ”

The old man stroked his beard and scolded with a smile: "Stinky boy, you are not asking me to support my old age, you are asking me to wait for death." Let's go, tell your second uncle to go. ”

……

It is said that the maids in Jiang Xinshan's courtyard, except for Linglong, who still stayed with the third lady, and the pearls were sold, and the others were assigned by the second wife to be rough girls in various rooms and courtyards. These people followed the third lady in the past, relying on the favor of the old lady, and the food and clothing were the best among the people in the house, even the rewards were more than others, and everyone in the house looked up to them.

These high-minded and arrogant lords were suddenly assigned to various houses and courtyards, and they were ridiculed by others, not to mention people's faces, and they did the hardest and most tiring work, and they all complained bitterly, and some of them directly paid the ransom money and left the Jiang Mansion.

The second lady picked ten maids with outstanding appearances, gave them to the old lady, and assigned them to the third lady's courtyard as an errand boy.

Seeing that the second master even sold the girl in the old lady's courtyard this time, who dared to say more in private? are honestly doing their own work.

After Jiang Xinshan was reprimanded by her father that day, because she saw that the maids who were used to being used in the courtyard were replaced with unfamiliar faces, she hated Jiang Xinyao's mother and daughter to the bone, and she had nothing to do for a while, so she hid in the room and cried for a few days.

After the old lady learned about it, she secretly sent Mama Qian to take a look at it a few times, sent some good supplements, and ate, Jiang Xinshan saw that the old lady still cared, so she relieved her mind a little.

Besides, Aunt Zhou, who had just lifted the ban a moment ago, didn't wait for two days to relax, and was trapped in the courtyard again, and fell ill after great joy and sorrow.

After Gu learned about it, he returned to the old lady, and hurriedly sent someone to invite a doctor, selected two good ginseng from the warehouse, and sent half a catty of bird's nest to Qingshan Courtyard in person.

When everyone in the house saw it, they all praised the second wife for her kindness, and even the old lady had to say to Mama Qian: "This Gu family is really good at being a person, how can Xiuyue be her opponent in this life?" ”

Mama Qian smiled: "Why did the old lady do her best to toss the second master this time?" ”

The old lady sighed, "How many more years can I live?" In the future, Shan'er will not have to rely on her Lao Tzu, so that her brother can live well in her in-law's house. This time, Shan'er offended the second wife for the young master of the Shen family, and the fourth lady didn't say anything, and she also fell out of favor with her father. I forced the second master to not let out this breath, but I was afraid that he would not be happy in his heart, and he would not wait to see her in the future. ”

"The old lady is afraid that there is a deeper intention!"

"After decades, you know my heart. Mama, such ugly words are not something that a boudoir girl should say, and they are too much. This kind of temperament must be sharpened well. There is still me to take care of her in the Jiang family, and I can't wronged her. When she goes out, if she acts like this again, she is the one who suffers. It's better to hold on to it now. ”

Mama Qian said: "Third Miss, in the end, she is young, and she has nothing to do. Just grind it. ”

The old lady sighed, "Hey, I don't worry about any of them." ”

……

That Jiang Yuanhang learned that his aunt and sister were grounded, and he made trouble in front of the old lady a few times, and after Jiang Hongsheng knew about it, he called the second master to the study on the second day, and the father and son talked and laughed and chatted for a long time.

The housekeeper took the opportunity to sell the most favored room of the second master on the order of the second master. Jiang Yuanhang returned to the room, the baby who warmed the bed couldn't be found, and he cried angrily, but he didn't dare to find his father to theorize, so he had to take a strand of incense given by the woman when he was good in the past and sighed for a long time.

The next day, Jiang Hongsheng repeated his old plan, and called his son to the study again, and had a pleasant talk.

Jiang Yuanhang sat in a panic all morning, and when he returned to the room, another room was sold.

Jiang Yuanhang's heart was like a knife and he suddenly realized it, knelt down in front of his father, kowtowed and admitted his mistake.

Jiang Hongsheng did not relent, and let him kneel for two hours before letting him go back.

Since then, Jiang Yuanhang has been afraid when he sees his father, just like a mouse sees a cat. When the old lady found out about this, she secretly dialed two young and beautiful girls over to her grandson.

……

After the date of returning to Beijing was set, Shen Li followed the old man to attend the send-off banquet among relatives and friends. After pushing the cup and changing the lamp, Shen Li missed the woman who was close at hand more and more, and with the strength of the wine, he flew up to the roof of Tingfeng Xuan by taking advantage of the night.

The moon was like water, Shen Li sat on the roof for a while, woke up for a while, and quietly returned home. For several nights, night after night.

Jiang Yuanchen learned that Brother Shen was about to return to Beijing, so he set up a banquet in Deyue Tower to see him off.

Jiang Yuanchen knew that Jiang and Shen were married. At first, when I thought that my sister was going to marry Brother Shen, I felt a loss in my heart, and when I saw Shen Li in those days, it was like seeing an enemy, and I hated it so much.

But after thinking about it again, my sister always has to get married, but Brother Shen knows the roots, and he is always better than outsiders, and he has some expectations for this family business. Who knew that it didn't work out in the end, Jiang Yuanchen felt a little more sorry in his heart.

One of the brothers has the heart to make up for it, and the other loves the house and Wu, and they have a bit of the taste of a thousand glasses of wine.

For the first time in his life, Jiang Yuanchen drank a Ming nail and got drunk, and pulled Shen Li to babble about Jiang Xinyao being slapped by Jiang Xinshan.

Shen Li understood the general situation from Jiang Yuanchen's inarticulate drunken words, and seemed to understand why Jiang Xinyao rejected the marriage of the Shen Mansion.

In the mouth, the wine was bitter and spicy, and the glass was empty and full, full and empty. The people at the table were already drunk, lying on the table and muttering about wine.

Shen Li drank the last cup, stretched out his long arms, carried Jiang Yuanchen on his shoulders, and sent him to the door of Jiang's mansion.

That night, Shen Li lay on the roof as usual, slightly drunk and looking up at the starry sky, only such a quiet night, a slightly cool wind, and the rough rubble under him, Shen Li felt that his heart was full.

Those dark and deep eyes, as deep as the stars in the sky, made him indulge. The shallow smile and detached look, like a cold moon hanging in mid-air, made him obsessed.

Two hours later, Shen Li quietly left. Early the next morning, he boarded the ship with Mrs. Shen and returned to Beijing. (..)
