There is a proverb:

Heroes walk on a dangerous road, and wealth is like a flower branch.

People are not good in spring, but I am afraid that there will be cold times in autumn.

He Shi is looking for Tian Jiang this time, and he really congratulated her on being pregnant with twins to explore the bottom of the second master.

Hearing that he wanted to reduce the servant's thrifty life, his heart was already half cold, and he beat her with evil words, and really found out the truth, it seems that Shen Erye's future is unpredictable, and he is afraid that he will not be able to protect himself.

Thinking that her famous Confucian daughter could not bear that sin, and she worked hard in the cold autumn, and finally pulled Lin Ge'er to raise her, and now it is easy to enter the department, but she has suffered this calamity, and she can't help but put on the glorious heart of wearing a phoenix crown and winning a life in the future, and tears fell in her eyes.

Tian Jiang understood her intentions, she couldn't see through many things in her life, and it was in vain to persuade others, so she silently hung her neck and turned over the account book, and didn't say a word.

After sitting for a while, He got up and said goodbye, walked through the garden with Xichun, and saw Mama Lu standing in front of the courtyard gate from a distance, holding a brocade cloth burden in her hand, so she stepped forward and said, "Why is Mama Lu standing here and not going in?" Although the winter is gone, it is still cold in spring, so follow me into the room to eat hot tea. ”

Mama Lu didn't shirk either, and handed over the burden in her hand to Xichun: "The old lady is worried that the eldest lady is sick, so she sent the old slave to send bird's nest." He smiled: "Mother Lao remembers that there is also this daughter-in-law who is unlucky." ”

Mama Lu secretly shouted badly, what she said was a gun with a stick, and she didn't know how to be angry later, but she didn't express her bitterness in her heart, she only asked with a smile: "Where did the eldest lady come from?" ”

"Second brother and sister." He Shi walked into the room and asked her to sit, ordered the maid to pour tea, leaned on the kang on his side, and said in a calm voice: "Mama Lu must not know what I heard from her!" Would you like to hear it? ”

Mama Lu hurriedly waved her hand: "The old slave didn't dare to stick out his ears for the private words that the master said. ”

"Mama is too careful." He pursed his lips and sneered: "No one says anything behind anyone, and no one says anything in front of anyone." Now that the Shen Mansion is showing signs of ruin, how can I say a few words, and I can't deal with it by giving you and my family law? After a pause, he continued: "The second brother and sister instructed Shen Lin, the second master's silver was sealed, and now they all rely on the fifth master to give him silver, and the maids and wives in each house have to be halved, and there will be chaos in this house." ”

Mama Lu spoke comfortingly: "Madame's words are serious, and the chaos is not enough." It's just a countermeasure in extraordinary times, and after the second master returns to the house, he will still return to the lively scene of the past. ”

"Returning to the house?!" He clapped his hands and smiled at her: "Mama Lu has a good heart, you can also believe what your younger brothers and sisters coax the old lady!" To tell you the truth, nine times out of ten, the second master will not come back. ”

Mama Lu shook her head and said: "Don't listen to the words of others, the old slave has been in this mansion for decades, and he has served two generations of masters, but where the official eunuch is also a powerful minister, the house has never been calm, and there have been a few twists and turns, and they have not all been redeemed every time?" What kind of character is the second master, he will definitely turn the crisis into safety, and the lady waits patiently, don't mess with yourself first, and make the old lady dislike. ”

He Shi put the teacup in his hand to the kang a few times, and squinted at her: "Mama is so eloquent, then when do you say I should wait?" Three or five days? March and May? Or three or five years? If you give me an accurate number, I'll listen to you. ”

Mama Lu smiled reluctantly: "Where do you know when to wait, the eldest lady is embarrassed by the old slave." ”

So he didn't want to stay any longer, pointed to Mrs. Shen's place, and when he lifted the curtain and left the room, he heard He Shi sneeringly: "Standing and talking doesn't hurt my back, how do you know the suffering of orphans and widows here, and they want to hide from me and coax me to bully me......."

Mama Lu sighed and went away without mentioning it.

........................................

Besides, Tian Jiang, when he saw that the twilight was sinking in the west, he changed his clothes and put on a cloak, and led Mama Tao and Shen Rong out of the back door of Qitong Courtyard, where an ordinary carriage had been prepared, and when he sat firmly, he staggered towards the Taoye Ferry.

Crossing the street and crossing the bridge, the glow flies sideways, Mama Tao sees Tian Jiang closing her eyes and recuperating her mind, she lifts the curtain and looks out, the wet and cool wind blows straight to the human face, and it turns out that she has reached the side of the Yuangong River.

Tian Jiang got off the carriage and walked more than ten steps to the Taoye Ferry.

The fishing boats returned one by one, the fishermen wore hats and waved their oars to find the gap between the shores, and the fisherwomen squatted at the stern of the boat to measure the rice and cook, curling the smoke and charming sight.

In the distance, two bright angle lamps are hung on the eaves of the painted boat, and there are silk bamboos and singers faintly playing and singing.

The wind blew through her ears and temples, she tightened the placket of her cloak, fainted on the surface of the Yellow River, cold and waves, and cold smoke on the waves.

A painting boat slowly swung in front of the stone steps, and the courtesan waved at Tian Jiang with a handkerchief, her face full of charm, and she sneered in her mouth: "That's Mrs. Shen?" Ying Ye is waiting for you. ”

Tian Jiang helped Mama Tao's hand to get on the boat, and wanted to go to the cabin, but in front of the beaded curtain, a courtesan raised her hand to stop: "Only Mrs. Shen can go in." ”

Shen Rong frowned: "I won't go in, but Madame's body is inconvenient, so she has to be accompanied by Mama." ”

The courtesan smiled: "Then the lady, please go back." "The cat bowed down and left.

Tian Jiang waved his hand at Shen Rongtao's grandmother and followed her into the cabin.

The carved window is propped open by the fork rod, the felt curtain is half rolled, but seeing the evening smoke on the river gradually dissipates, a round of bright moon reflects half a boat of snow, the large brass basin in the cabin is burning with charcoal, there is a yellow pear square lacquer table, the table is placed with wine, food and tea, two nanmu facing the river view with soft cushioned hexagonal armchairs, there is already a man sitting, is looking at the moon, while pinching the lamp to eat wine. Hearing the sound of footsteps approaching, he didn't look back, but said lightly: "Mrs. Shen, please take a seat." “

Tian Jiang's feet were frozen and stiff when he was waiting at the ferry, and he was not polite at this time, so he sat down on the chair, stepped on the stove to keep warm, and took the breeze with his eyes without leaving a trace, but he could no longer be called Qingfeng, but Cao Ying, who was dressed in a brocade robe and a thousand households, which made him imposing.

Tian Jiang pursed his lips and thought about it: "That time in Fuliu Hutong, thank you for saving me." “

Cao Ying looked at her, and her voice was very light: "Mrs. Shen may have recognized the wrong person." “

....... Pretend to be you! Tian Jiang didn't care, he took out the oil gold hairpin from his sleeve cage and returned it to him: "I don't know why Lord Cao is looking for me?" “

Cao Ying took the hairpin and inserted it into her hair, raised her hand to hold the pot and poured the tea for her, looking careless: "If the lady doesn't know why she came, please go back, I don't want to talk to stupid people." “

Tian Jiang had dealt with him before, how did he know that his temper was becoming more and more eccentric now, so there was no need to be polite, she abandoned the flattery and flattery, and simply got straight to the point: "How can Lord Cao be willing to save Second Master Shen from Zhao Prison?" ”

Cao Ying's eyebrows were slightly raised, the moonlight spilled into his eyes, and the corners of his mouth pursed slightly: "If I save Shen Ge Lao from Zhao Prison, you ....... How are you going to repay me? ”
