Chapter 1 Portrait of All Beings

There is a poem that says:

The spring breeze is suspicious of the end of the world, and there is no beauty in the capital in February.

The snow is too late in spring, so it wears the garden trees to make flying flowers.

People love flowers and butterflies full of branches, which cares that the trees fall and scatter.

Besides, Cui's heart went back to the room, and he accidentally saw Shen Sanye leaning on the hot kang, approaching the light and reading carefully, she was inconvenient to disturb, so the low-order maid arranged a table of soup and rice, went to wash and groom, and waited to tidy up, so she ordered Meiyun to invite Shen Sanye to eat.

Shen Sanye closed the book and went down to the kang, Shi Shiran sat down at the table, Meiyun cloth vegetables, maid Qinxiang held the pot handle, he drank wine and eaten, Cui Shi wanted to mention Shen Erye's matter several times, thinking that he was suspicious, and didn't know where to start for a while, so hesitating, Shen Sanye had already rinsed his mouth, took the fragrant tea handed by Meiyun, and ate slowly.

Cui Shi couldn't bear it after all, put down his chopsticks and was about to speak, but Shen Sanye said in a deep voice first: "The day I return to Beijing is full, tomorrow you send a few more mothers-in-law to pack up the boxes, put Shen Yan, Shen Xi, Shen Mian and you and Meiyun together, and go to Jincheng in Shu with me to live together, and leave Beijing the day after tomorrow." “

Cui's ears were like thunder, and it took him a while to find his voice: "Today, Second Master Shen was taken away by Jinyiwei and the officials of the Criminal Department, the second sister-in-law fainted all day long, and her mother was grief-stricken, how could we ignore filial piety at this time, ignore our siblings, and leave alone?" In this way, what face will come back in the future! ”

Shen Sanye looked at her and smiled: "Then what do you say?" ”

Cui Shi pursed his lips and said, "Even if you want to leave, you have to wait for the second master to come out without ........"

Shen Sanye interrupted her: "What if the second brother can't come out?" Are we waiting to die here? ”

Cui Shi was stunned, his expression changed greatly, his face was full of disbelief, Shen Sanye no longer looked at her, shook the teacup in his hand and continued: "In the imperial city, I am cheating, and the golden iron horse in the court, this time the matter is not trivial, if it weren't for my mother's old age and frailty, I would definitely not leave her in the capital, at this time, you don't need to say more, always leave as soon as possible, Shen Yan Shen Xi Shen Mian and Mei Yun will definitely leave, as for you ......"

He paused: "You can think about it for another night, or go with me, or stay here, or go back to your mother's house, whatever you want!" ”

What should have been said has been said, Shen Sanye put down the teacup, got up from the robe and went out of the house, first came to Fushan Hall, and quietly told his mother what he said with the second brother some time ago, Mrs. Shen was silent, and said: "You ask the second daughter-in-law, if she is willing, she will go with Sister Li." ”

Shen Sanye agreed in his mouth, said again, got up and knelt down to kowtow to Old Madam Shen, and then left with red eyes.

Through the garden through the courtyard, the wind tightened, but see the clouds blowing and see the moon, it is more quiet than the night, as far as the eye can see, the pine wall branches are swaying, the petals under the plum tree are scattered all over the place, the reflection is very desolate and lonely, suddenly a gust of wind swirls in the ears, but I see a black shadow jumping down from the tree, straight towards him, I can't help but "ah" and cheer, only to hear an old woman ask: "Where do the three old men want to go?" “

When he heard the sound, a mother-in-law with a lantern came to the side road, sighed secretly, begged for the lantern in her hand, and continued to walk forward, thinking about it again, he felt strange, secretly thinking that this courtyard is a long time ago, and several generations of ancestors have been here in spring and autumn, it is a place of spiritual prosperity, is it true that it is a number of gas? !

Thinking like this, I only felt that the leader Sen Sen, my mind was uneasy, and suddenly the front of me suddenly opened up, and I had arrived in front of the gate of Qitong Courtyard.

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

Tian Jiang was eating bird's nest porridge slowly, and suddenly heard the maid reply through the curtain: "The third master has come into the courtyard." “

Tian Jiang was a little surprised but didn't show it, so Cuimei took a cloak of blue embroidered pink begonia and waited for her to put it on, and then the official footsteps on the corridor sounded, the felt curtain was raised, Shen Sanye walked in, he respectfully arched his hand and said: "I heard that the second sister-in-law is sick, I don't know if it is better?" ”

Mama Tao moved the Huanghuali official hat chair and invited him to sit, Tian Jiang ordered Cai Rong to look at the tea, and smiled when he heard him ask: "It's not a big deal, it's caused by a temporary lack of qi and blood, Imperial Doctor Jiang prescribed a prescription, and just eat it every day." She added: "The third master came in the dead of night, he must have something to say." ”

Shen Sanye looked at her, the second brother of Pingsu protected her tightly, and even the fifth brother was not allowed to make a mistake, and he didn't dare to take a second look, and at this time, under the yellow candlelight, the seventeen-year-old little woman, with spring eyebrows and watery eyes, red lips slightly contained, half innocent and half charming, showing a different kind of style, and instantly Cui's Meiyun and her were the difference between cloud and mud.

Tian Jiang's little face sank, this Shen Sanye's gaze was really bold, and his voice suddenly became cold: "If the third master has nothing to do, please go back." ”

Shen Sanye saw that her face was angry, her eyes were like a pool of water, and her momentum was not angry but powerful, but it was not good.

He looked away for a moment, and then stabilized his mind and said: "I am here to inform the second sister-in-law, I will leave Beijing to take office in Shu the day after tomorrow, Shen Yan and Shen Xi Meiyun will accompany me, and my mother and the Shen Mansion will be entrusted to the second sister-in-law to take care of me." ”

Tian Jiang's expression gradually softened, and he thought about it and asked him, "Won't the third brother and sister go with you?" ”

A wry smile flashed across Shen Sanye's face: "She still needs to think about it for a night." ”

Tian Jiang's tone was very flat: "Try your best to take your younger siblings away!" The life and death of the second master really don't need her to worry! “

Shen Sanye was shocked, but when he saw her stealth and the lights, there was a hazy expression that was difficult to distinguish between reality and reality, and finally said: "Second sister-in-law may think ....... The second brother is now in prison, but I took my wife and the younger one away, in fact, ......."

"I have not blamed you." Tian Jiang said softly: "This must also be the meaning of the second master!" Today's wind and snow in the capital are sudden, the sky is unpredictable, the party is the same as the other, and the charm is even more strange, the second master is going to live and die, and the Shen Mansion is still in turmoil, you can go quickly, stay in the green mountains, and you are always not afraid of no firewood. “

Shen Sanye looked at her deeply, the second brother always said in front of them, this little sister-in-law is delicate and stupid, and she can't live without him, but when you look at her now, where is there a half panicked and frightened appearance, neither humble nor arrogant, calm and calm, and she actually doesn't let her eyebrows take half a step.

He didn't linger any longer, got up to say goodbye was already in a different state of mind, walked to the felt curtain and paused, looked back and said, "If you want, you can go to Shu with me......."

He saw the second sister-in-law who had been hanging her neck and contemplating, raised her head and shook him slightly, a smile appeared on the corner of her lips, and her whole little face was as bright as a peach, she said: "The second master asked me to go with you, and I will go with you, but he won't let me go, don't say it's life, even death is to accompany me, it's so bad." “

Although her mouth was complaining, her eyes were watery and soft.

Shen Sanye has walked out of Qitong Courtyard for a long time, and the envy in his heart has not faded for a long time, this is the most intimate relationship between husband and wife in the world.

It's a pity...... He lived half his life and never experienced it.
