"I'll talk about it later." Second Master Shen's face was a little blurred by the red cage: "How can a person with a body be so light?" ”

Tian Jiang learned from him, and also touched his cheek, maybe because he had only eaten wine, he was slightly hot: "My appetite is actually quite good." ”

"Hmm!" There was a smile in his words: "I know! “

Tian Jiang was stunned...... Is Second Master Shen laughing at her? Pursed his mouth and pinched his chin, wanting to quickly withdraw his hand but before he could do so, he bit his fingertips lightly.

"I'm praising you, and I don't appreciate it....... Very squeamish. The smile on Second Master Shen's lips deepened.

That's a boast! Tian Jiang also smiled, his chin rested on his shoulder, and quietly looked at the two lanterns hanging on the eaves of the study, the dim red light was fading away, and the black curtain was hanging low in front of him.

"Second master, let me go by myself! It was too dark. Tian Jiang felt that it was very inconvenient to walk in this way, let alone enter the garden, and from time to time there were maids and grandmothers walking around, and she would be ashamed of her thin skin.

"But you're afraid I'll fall on you?" Second Master Shen didn't loosen his arm, but tightened her into his arms: "No matter how dark the front is, even if the road is gone, I won't drop you." His voice was calm and soft, with a certain calming power.

These words seem familiar, as if she has heard them somewhere, Tian Jiang suddenly had a sour nose, her eyes were duffled, since she was pregnant, she really became more and more squeamish.

"What's wrong?" Seeing that she was silent, Shen Erye looked down to see her face.

Tian Jiang didn't show it, only put his face close to his placket, and said softly: "Have I told the second master?" “

Second Master Shen said "um", patiently waiting for the following, Tian Jiang leaned his neck and kissed his cheek: "I have always believed in Second Master...... Never doubted. ”

Shen Erye's steps paused slightly, Fang crossed the threshold of Qitong Courtyard, and continued to walk towards the room, and his voice was very low and vague for a long time: "So good......."

Tian Jiang didn't hear it clearly, and wanted him to say it again, but he had already entered the room, and Cai Rong Cuimei surrounded her to serve, so she didn't want to ask.

Dinner has been set, Tian Jiang is a little hungry with the aroma, Shen Erye has drunk wine, ate some vegetables, put down the chopsticks, and let Mama Tao make Longjing lotus heart tea.

In a blink of an eye, Tian Jiang ate most of the plate of hot and sour cabbage, and said casually: "As the saying goes, sour and spicy girls, you are really difficult to distinguish between sour and spicy." ”

Mama Tao just came in with tea and listened to the enthusiastic interjection: "The old way is to distinguish children, the belly is pointed and the navel is concave, and the belly is round and the navel is convex is female, and nine times out of ten it is accurate." “

Shen Erye took a sip of tea slowly: "It turns out that Jiu'er is a male baby in her belly." “

Tian Jiang's face turned red, and his eyes glared at him, but fortunately, Mama Tao didn't say anything more and withdrew from the room.

Second Master Shen looked at her shy appearance, pondered the previous words a little, and suddenly realized it, and couldn't help laughing.

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

After dinner, after the maid cleaned up and retreated, Shen Erye asked, "Don't you have something to tell me?" ”

Tian Jiang pulled him to the outside room, and there was a Shu Jinshu embroidery and a mud Jinchuan fan on the table, he looked at the fan, frowned and asked, "But it was sent from the third room?" “

It's a little cold outside, Cai Rong came in to add animal charcoal to the brazier, Tian Jiang hung his neck to eat tea, and when Cai Rong went out, she replied: "It is the third master who brought back from Shu, Cui's sent maid Meiyun to send a gift, not to mention the value of this Shu brocade and Shu embroidery, just look at this Sichuan fan, especially to sprinkle gold, mud gold Sichuan fan for the tribute fan in the superior thing, what is mud gold, with gold into foil to thin rotten, and then mixed with glue into mud, painted on the white fan surface, such gold foil fragments if sprinkled with a thousand points, the silver is fifty taels." ”

"The second master looked at the nail again, but the plum blossom-shaped gold nail carved from real gold, as well as this bone, is used to be the Buddha's belly bamboo, the Buddha's belly bamboo is known as a rare and difficult to find chopsticks, such a fan if it is sold in the capital, the price of gold on the market starts at five taels. Even in Shudi, the price is not low. ”

She continued: "I heard Meiyun mention that there are a total of ten such Sichuan fans in the cage, and the third master is appointed as the governor of Shu Di, with four ranks, and the annual silver is only one hundred and two taels of silver.......

Tian Jiang quietly looked at Shen Erye's face was gloomy, and suddenly he stopped and didn't say anything, in fact, he didn't need to say anything more, he was good at conspiring like him, maybe she started to speak, and he already knew what she meant.

Second Master Shen left Shu Jinshu embroidery, and only took away the mud Jinchuan fan.

In fact, Tian Jiang still has a question, that poem makes Cui's face always flash in her mind, and there is something faintly wrong, which is not stop shaking in her heart.

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

Shen Sanye went to Shen Wuye's room to have another drink, and when he came out, he was still very sober, and then went to Fushan Hall to chat with Mrs. Shen for gossip, and then returned to Cui's room in the bleak moonlight of the garden.

There were four or five girls standing on the porch, and when they saw him coming, one of them hurriedly greeted him with a smile: "The third master is back, Mrs. and Sister Yan are still waiting for you to eat." Shen Sanye glanced at her, it was Cui's dowry maid Meiyun, and her appearance was better than a year.

Someone has already passed through, the maid opened the scarlet felt curtain, he entered the room, the lights and candles are bright, the incense is fragrant, the brass basin is burning with charcoal, and the table has a table of wine and food that has not moved, Brother Xi holds the book and reads it, Cui's is tying the head for Sister Yan, listening to the curtain moving, Brother Xi took the lead in losing the book, and ran to Shen Sanye to hug him, Sister Yan followed behind the kang, and also wanted to be close to her father.

Shen Sanye softened his eyebrows, sat Brother Xi on one leg and Sister Yan on the other, and spoke very affectionately.

Cui Shi looked out the window that it was late at night, suppressed the unhappiness in his heart, and smiled reluctantly: "Let's have dinner first, the two children have been waiting for you for a long time, and they are hungry." ”

Seeing that the fresh fish soup noodles had solidified a layer of oil film, she ordered the girl to take it down and heat it up again, Meiyun took out a big bowl of smoky japonica rice from the food box, filled three bowls and handed them to the two sisters and brothers of Cui and Yanxi, and when she was about to pick up the bowl again, she was stopped by Shen Sanye, who only said that she had eaten wine and was not hungry in her stomach.

Cui Shi ordered the girl to go to the kitchen to stew another bowl of sour soup and sober up Shen Sanye.

Shen Sanye suddenly frowned, and ordered Meiyun in a solemn voice: "Why did you forget Mian'er?" Summoning him for dinner! ”

Cui's face suddenly became thin and cold, and he pursed his lips and was silent.

Meiyun hurriedly replied: "Brother Mian'er was here before, and after waiting for the master to come for a long time, he was so hungry that he panicked, so the slave maid first set aside a bowl of rice and some vegetables to serve him to eat, and then saw that he was very tired, so Mrs. ordered Xiaohong to send him back to the courtyard to wash and rest." ”

Shen Sanye bowed lightly, the girl brought the hot fresh fish soup to the table, he took the big spoon in Meiyun's hand, and gave Yanxi two sisters and brothers a bowl each, and added a bowl to Cui's family.

"Thank you, sir!" Cui Shi curled his lips to thank him, but the smile did not reach his eyes.

Shen Sanye also had a senseless look on his face, he stood up and walked towards the cage in front of the window, and suddenly saw that the lock on the top was pried open, and he couldn't help but be stunned, and stepped forward to lift the lid of the box in two steps.
