Shen Li breathed a sigh of relief, but in Tian Jiang's eyes, she was a little sad, although she had been married for a few days, she had already figured out that everyone in this mansion, from the master to the servant, would watch the dishes.

Shen Li has no mother, what she can rely on is the protection of the old lady and the prestige of Shen Erye.

The old lady is older, and her spirit is not as good as before, not to mention that she has more than one grandchild under her knees, it is inevitable that there will be negligence, and the second master Shen is busy with the government affairs of the court all day long, and he usually takes care of the affairs of the back house, if he shows that he doesn't like her again, even if you are a young lady who is a close relative, although it is not obvious on the surface, there is slackness and coldness in his bones.

Tian Jiang saw that she was wearing a goose yellow shirt, covered with water green silk pants, embroidered shoes under her feet, and her shoulders were thin and thin, so she still went back to the kang, pulled over a lotus root and sprinkled brocade mattress to hold her legs, and she sat casually on the edge of the kang.

Tian Jiang asked her who the name of this "Lei Zang Yuan" was and what it meant.

Shen Li thought about it and replied: "I heard my father say it, it is the name of my mother's inscription, and I take the two words 'new green between the branches, and Xiaolei hides a few reds'. ”

"Yes!" Tian Jiang sighed slightly: "Don't vomit lightly if you cherish your heart, and teach peach and plum to make a spring breeze." She hopes that you will be calm and humble in the future, and don't be as glamorous as Taoli in order to be respected. ”

In fact, this sentence has another negative meaning, and she thinks it's better to hide it and not say it.

Shen Li said "um" lightly, in fact, she didn't have much impression of Mengsheng's mother, and she had asked curiously, no matter what others, Deng Huan and her aunt couldn't be entangled, and they would say a few words piecemeal, with a deep secretion on her face, and then she gradually lost interest and didn't ask more.

But Mama Deng wiped her eyes with her sleeve: "Mrs. Mengsheng loves Sister Li very much, at that time, Sister Li was always sick a few days after she was born, she held her in her arms all night, and never faked her hands......."

Halfway through the words, I saw Tian Jiang's expression faintly, Cai Rong gave her a look, and hurriedly said: "The meatloaf sent by the second lady, Sister Li likes it very much!" ”

"Really?" Tian Jiang saw that Shen Li nodded obediently, smiled and pulled a strand of hair from her loose cheeks behind her ear, and asked her what kind of embroidery she was.

Shen Li showed her a little shyly, it was a plain silk pillow, embroidered with the pattern of a peony cat sleeping, folding branches and pink peonies, a simple and cute civet cat, which had a unique charm.

Tian Jiang suddenly said: "Isn't this the painting in my room?" “

It was painted by Shen Erye in his spare time, and it was casually erected in the painting jar, and she liked it very much when she had no intention of flipping through it, so she hung it on the wall.

Shen Li's cheeks flushed, and she said softly: "I glanced at it when I asked my mother to say goodbye, and I happened to renovate the pillow, so I wanted to try embroidery." “

Tian Jiang looked at it very seriously, and then smiled: "Your father's peony cat sleeping picture, the style is boneless, no pen and ink, directly painted in color, the technique is rendered without bones, not outlining the ink line, all dyed with color, yin and yang to the back, bending its state, beyond the boundary, in line with nature, almost harsh to restore its original appearance, beauty is beautiful, but the most unsuitable for embroidery." “

Shen Li was stunned, Tian Jiang pointed to the peony branches and petals along the side and said: "Your pillow picks Suzhou embroidery skills, Suzhou embroidery is mainly easy to turn silk, inlaid with color and smooth needles and needles to express color rendering, but here the waterway is the boundary line is distinct, you use embroidery needles to hook the line, but it is contrary to the technique of this painting, that is, the embroidered ninety percent of the nine images, but it is just a like, and it can't show its essence." ”

"Mother is very right." Shen Li pursed her lips and nodded, but she couldn't hide a trace of frustration.

Tian Jiang thought for a while: "Your father has several paintings of ink and wash techniques, and the ink and wash techniques are followed by the brush, mainly the bone method, which should be pictographic, and colored with the class, which is suitable for embroidering into pillows, and will be picked up with ...........you tomorrow."

She swept the room again, only to feel a little cold, and Zhao Cuimei told in front of her: "You Ming'er to Jincang Building, send the servant to bring the Huanghuali raglan mortise and tenon head case, put it against the left wall, and take a fairy story plum bottle and an ivory cypress deer table screen." She paused and said: "The blue and white lion ball pattern nine-hole flower plug can also be brought, you can insert some evening laurel or crab chrysanthemum, and you can also insert red plum in winter." "Look at the embroidered pier, which is also half-old and not new, and the life has been changed together.

Shen Li felt that Tian Jiang was amazing, omniscient, omnipotent, and she sounded very fresh and convincing when she talked about these principles.

She secretly thought that the eldest lady's words might be wrong, and this mother actually treated her very well.

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

Tian Jiang came out of the Lei Zang Courtyard and walked in the garden, but saw the moon shadow swaying and frosting, the smoke and water in the powder pond were cold, and the bluestone slab road was moss at night. ”

Cai Rong should go, and when she went away, Tian Jiang looked at Cuimei and whispered: "I want to relieve myself at this time, I want to go to the back of the rockery, you are guarding here, if someone comes, I can hear it by clearing my throat." Cuimei hurriedly agreed.

Tian Jiang lifted the skirt, got off the boardwalk, crept around the right side of the rockery, and suddenly pounced on a loud sound, she was so frightened that she covered her mouth, looked at the laurel tree, and sprang out of a tiger-skinned civet cat, I don't know what it was holding in its mouth, and when I saw people coming, I fled without a trace.

She exhaled, only to hear someone laugh softly.

Looking back suddenly, it was a man wearing an autumn-scented straight jacket, standing against the mountain rocks regardless of the cool night.

Tian Jiang was silent: "You are the distinguished guest who came to visit my husband!" ”

When she came out of the study and passed by him, she smelled a strange fragrance, and at this time, this fragrance continued to linger in her nose.

The moonlight reflected on half of his golden mask, and Tian Jiang's tone was very affirmative: "You are the merchant Tian Yu." ”

Her words seemed to please him, Tian Yu looked at her for a while, and smiled and chwed: "You really mean what you say, you haven't forgotten me." ”

He took out a white porcelain vase from his sleeve and handed it to her: "This is the broken sausage incense, you once asked me to ask for it, but it was not at that time, but now it is." ”

Tian Jiang didn't answer it with his hands behind his back, pursed his lips and shook his head: "This is not that time, this person is not the other person, I am married to another woman, how can I do something secretly taught by me." ”

She said again: "The Shen Mansion is heavily guarded and heavily guarded, so you better hurry up." With that, he turned around and left.

Suddenly, Tian Yu's voice was cold and asked, "Are you willing to marry Shen Ge Lao as his wife?" “

Tian Jiang didn't speak, and his steps slowed down.

Tian Yu frowned and stretched his eyebrows, the corners of his mouth hooked up a mocking smile, and he said: "I only want to ask you one thing, if I have a way to persuade Shen Ge Lao to take you away from this ghost place, are you willing to go with me?" “

......... This is not a ghost place! Tian Jiang wanted to refute him, but he felt that it was meaningless.

She closed her eyes and opened them again, looking at the orange dusk flickering in the distance, which was the light in Shen Erye's study was still on.

She finally spoke: "I don't want to go with you, but I want to get out of here." ”
