Chapter 2 Serving Tea

Tian Jiang was held by Shen Erye's hand, she just thought about it.

Yesterday from the main gate to marry in, all the way to cover the gold hijab, did not look at the good life of this copper courtyard, at this time the autumn sun is half dewed, the mist is fading, now in front of the eyes is a place three into the house, with a garden, but see the sycamore floating yellow, crab chrysanthemum Shujin, pine wall stone path, reflecting the steps of floating moss, cinnamon incense wind through the carved fence, persimmon frost red full of tree branches.

There are gardeners who fold the autumn lotus stems and leaves in the Qushui square pond, Tian Jiang pointed and said with a smile: "Fold it to do much, leave it with the swimming fish to cover the sunset, but there is a different artistic conception." ”

Shen Liu, the steward who followed him, secretly Shen Erye's face, was a clever one, and he was busy shouting in front of the pond, and the gardeners really obeyed the order, no longer folded, and left with a sway.

Stepping out of the threshold, the gilt plaque with a black background is hung on the lintel, and the three big characters of "Qitong Courtyard" are written on it.

Tian Jiang asked curiously what the reason for this name was, but Shen Erye didn't answer, but asked her with a smile: "Do you still remember the Book of Songs. The 'Juan A' chapter in Daya. ”

She bowed her jaw, how could she not remember, and said: "....... The phoenix is singing, and it is in the high hill. The sycamore is born, and the sun rises in the sun. Yongyong ...... “

She suddenly realized, borrowed Mao Tongqi, and attracted the phoenix to ......

Some coquettish tilted his head to look at him: "The phoenix is often the queen, and the place where the emperor of the harem lives more, the second master is afraid that it will be difficult to wait." ”

Shen Erye leaned over and whispered in her ear: "Who said I didn't wait, you are my phoenix, Tian Jiu'er." ”

Tian Jiang was stunned, and glanced at Cuimei Cuixiang Cairong and other maids, this is a public ..... The little face couldn't help but flush.

Just Xu Jing hurriedly came, and Li Bingcheng, the left attendant of the ministry, sent someone to deliver an urgent item, which needed to be signed by Shen Erye for verification.

Second Master Shen saw that it was still early, and said to Tian Jiang: "My study is not far from here, you can accompany me to sit there for a while." ”

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

There were guests in the study, Tian Jiang was inconvenient to go in, so he waited in the roll shed for a while, ate tea, and some couldn't help but walk to the porch to look, the sky seemed clearer and brighter, she hesitated whether to urge Shen Erye, after all, the "bride's chapel" on the second day of the entrance was very important to her.

A tall and burly brocade-clothed guard passed by her without squinting, as if he was about to enter the study, Tian Jiang hurriedly called him: "Commander Shen, please stay." ”

Besides, Shen Huan saw a little lady from afar, and the maid followed her to stand under the corridor, and he heard Shen Rong say that it was the second lady who entered yesterday.

In fact, a few months ago, Xu Jing told him a sensational thing on a dark and windy night, and he couldn't believe it.

You can look at the little woman in front of her, wearing pearls and emeralds, phoenix hairpins and half-pendants, shallow powder, wearing red brocade placket shirts, nailing six pairs of butterfly love flower gilt silver buckles, and wearing a white skirt with flowers and moons, which is lined with beautiful and clear appearances, I can't think of it....... He was about to pretend not to see it, but she called out, causing the tiger's body to tremble.

Stopped and bowed his hand, stared at the round copper bell with big eyes, and stammered a little when he spoke: "Second lady..... You..... Do you remember me? “

Tian Jiang pursed his lips and smiled: "Do you want me to remember you?" ”

............... Naturally, he didn't want it, and may she never remember him.

Shen Huan burned incense devoutly every night, and when he thought of the man around him but did not distinguish between male and female, his blood was churning, and his hands and feet were cold..... What's more, those good times of sharing the spring album are now a nightmare for him to look back on, if the second master knows..... He shuddered inexplicably, frustrated and sincere: "The second lady doesn't need to be reluctant, she can't be a mere commander in the next place." ”

Tian Jiang actually didn't remember him anymore, and just guessed according to the description of the manual.

Seeing that his expression was not gloomy and apologetic, he said Mingzhi: "Commander Shen doesn't have to be sad, Doctor Qian said that I will be fine, even if everyone else forgets it, I must remember it." “

....... Shen Huan looked even more sad!

Suddenly, someone walked out of the study, and Tian Jiang retreated to the roll shed.

After a burst of footsteps, Shen Erye appeared in front of the door, she hurriedly walked over, but she didn't see Shen Huan's figure again.

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

To the main courtyard where Mrs. Chen lived, there were five upper rooms in front of her, and five or six maids were busy standing in front of the corridor, some were sprinkling the fallen leaves on the side of the courtyard wall, some were adding food and water to the bird's cage, and there was a girl holding a cat and talking with a mother-in-law.

As soon as she saw them coming, the mother-in-law greeted them with a smile, and said, "The old lady woke up early, and she kept thinking about how to return to the future, and she was anxious to eat the tea served by the second lady." ”

Tian Jiang recognized her as Mama Lu, and when she walked out of the clean room after washing up last night, she happened to see her leaving in a hurry with a red double happiness round box.

Cuimei said that she came to collect the white cloth on the bed, and if the white cloth was clean after the round house..... But even jumping into the Yellow River can't be washed.

Cui Xiang said that she had no intention of hearing a drunken grandmother leak her mouth, Shen Wu's wife Xue married three years ago, and her piece of white cloth was clean.

Thinking like this, the maid had already opened the curtain, and Shen Erye took Tian Jiang's hand to go in, but she was loosened, and couldn't help pursing her lips and smiling, what were you afraid of..... He's there.

There were already several women sitting in the room, a large red sandalwood carved table in the center, Old Madam Shen on the right side, and three respected women of the clan sitting side by side on the left. The east and west two are each placed with three red sandalwood round back chairs, three chairs sit and three chairs are empty, and each chair is set up with a lotus table, and there are refreshments as the table.

A woman got up and came over to salute, bent her eyebrows, and spoke like a bamboo bucket pouring beans: "But let me see, it was hand in hand, the old lady is the most ceremonial rules, I can't see this, the second master and the second sister-in-law want to think about how to seal my mouth!" “

Tian Jiang saw that she was about thirty years old, combed her hair with a cloud bun, wore a beaded peony pattern gold bun, hung a bluestone pendant in her ears, and shallow fat powder snails, deliberately pretending to be dignified and virtuous, but the pair of tall hanging eyebrows were slightly unmatched.

Her voice was deliberately raised, and no matter how bad Mrs. Shen's ears were, she also listened very well at this time, so she shook her head and smiled: "Don't scare the second daughter-in-law, come to me quickly." “

Tian Jiang glanced at Second Master Shen, and then walked in front of Old Madam Shen, and came over three or four maids wearing moon-white dresses and covered with cyan armor, a soft cushion with yellow satin embroidered entwined lotus, and a rectangular plate with red lacquer double happiness pattern in his hand, a white jade covered bowl teapot and a jade bowl with a lid.

A maid held Tian Jiang, knelt on the cushion and kowtowed to Mrs. Shen, then held a pot to pour tea, and held a jade bowl to give to Mrs. Shen.

Old Madam Shen took it very gently, opened the lid and ate the tea, then took the brocade box prepared in the maid's hand and handed it to her personally.

Shen Erye sat on the chair, watched Tian Jiang comb the woman's bun, revealing a thin white neck, serving tea cautiously, shouting "mother" softly, watching her give tea to the clan women one by one, although her expression was a little shy, her demeanor was decent, and a certain indescribable feeling surged in his heart, as if he was in a sweet dream that would wake up in an instant.

He closed his eyes and opened them again, Tian Jiang was holding a bunch of meeting gifts, looking a little at a loss.

Second Master Shen stood up and walked towards her, fortunately, this was not a dream.
