In the center of the street, there is a Mushi black oil tanker anointed carriage, the periphery is dark blue thick tweed crepe rollers, inlaid with black silver money flowers, the top of the green canopy along a circle of gilded tassels, with the wheel and swaying, Wang Mei'er envy, staring at the smile and said: "That's Shen Ge Lao's car, you see that it is a big red curtain of lotus mandarin ducks, he just married his wife, and everywhere there is a festive ........." ”

She didn't finish speaking, only to feel the figure flash, and retracted her gaze, but saw Qin Yanzhao's face was gloomy, and he didn't say a word, and turned straight towards his own sedan chair.

Wang Meier pursed her lips and smiled, glanced at the carriage in the distance, and then explained to the attendant who took the door of the carriage, and then lowered the curtain.

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

When he returned to Qitong Courtyard, Shen Erye went to the study, and Tian Jiang was served by Cuimei and washed, and then read on the bed.

I don't know when the sky changed, the rain drops knocked on the sycamore leaves, from the window lattice into a wisp of evening breeze, but also felt the room was lonely and cold, the scarlet felt curtain sounded softly, a civet cat drilled in along the crack, shook the drizzle and rain star, and then bent his legs to support his paws, stretched his waist, paced to the edge of the bed and meowed, wanting to jump up.

"My ancestor, your wet ......" Cuixiang hurriedly leaned over and wiped it with a cotton towel, but the cat purred in her throat, but she also let it fiddle.

Cuimei and Cai Rong sat at the table and made needles, Tian Jiang ordered them to take the green parrot frame off the porch from the porch, and hang it in the ear room to avoid the wind and rain, Cai Rong got up, and ran in with a smile and shrunk her shoulders, and said: "The green parrot is really weird, I don't know where to hide, and I can't see it in a few rooms." “

Mama Wu entered the room with a bowl of bird's nest porridge, and just heard it hurriedly and said: "Sneakily followed behind Commander Shen, and looked in the direction of the second master's study. “

Tian Jiang didn't care, as long as she wasn't eaten by the cat, she put down the book, took the bird's nest porridge, paddled the heat with a spoon, remembered something, raised her eyes and asked her, "Why didn't I see Yingge?" Where is she now? ”

Mama Wu replied: "I heard Meiyun next to the third lady mention that this morning, Yingge's sister-in-law went to ask her to ask her for a deed ......of sale, the reason is that Yingge's age is on the table, and second, the family life is better this year, and I can't bear to let my sister-in-law suffer here." “

She paused: "I went with a letter from the second master, and Meiyun was not easy to persuade, so I had to send her away with a deed of sale." “

Tian Jiang said "um", lowered his neck and took a small bite of bird's nest porridge, but Cui Xiang asked with a smile: "Why is this matter still bothering the second master, I should inform Mrs. “

Mama Wu said cautiously: "Yingge is the second master's close maid, and she has been serving for several years, so maybe she ...... speak more casually." “

Tian Jiang was silent for a while, and suddenly asked: "You are the old man here, you must know everything, and you don't have to hide it from me, this Yingge is the second master's house?" “

Mama Wu hesitated, thought about it and smiled: "Mrs. should ask the second master in person about this matter, if the old slave miscommunicates the word, it will be a crime and deserve death." ”

Tian Jiang glanced at her for a while, saw her lower her head, and said: "But it's just a casual question, I'm not at ease, Mama Wu is cautious in her words and deeds, it can't be said to be a bad thing, but it's also difficult to get close to." “

The tone of the speech was very flat, but Mama Wu was shocked when she heard it, and tried her best to accompany the laughter to justify, but when she saw the lady handing over the empty bowl, she hurriedly took it, and Cai Rong brought tea to serve her mouth, and it was inconvenient to use the pestle here, so she had to go and not mention it first.

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

Cui Shi held the small hand stove alone, standing under the corridor in the cold, the sky was like splashing ink, and the rain was obliquely woven into a net, locked to prevent people from coming.

Meiyun pushed in from the outer half of the courtyard door, just to see someone carrying a red cage to light the way, someone holding a green cloth umbrella, and the tall and burly figure under the umbrella passed in a flash.

She asked the approaching maid, "It's the second master who passed by?" ”

Mei Yun's jaw bowed and said: "It's the second master who came out of the study and wants to go back to Qitong Courtyard to rest." “

"It's been the dead of night......." Cui's joked: "The Spring Festival is worth a thousand gold, and he is willing to let the little goblin guard the empty room alone." “

Leprechaun ...... Meiyun was stunned, and when she reacted, she didn't know what to say, so she just pursed her mouth and said nothing.

Cui Shi glanced at her and asked, "Does the master have a letter?" ”

Meiyun shook her head and whispered, "I checked a few times at the gatehouse, but it's really not there today, I'll go and see it tomorrow." ”

Cui's pouted and sneered, there was just a mother-in-law knocking on the courtyard door with an umbrella, but she didn't dare to come in rashly, Meiyun couldn't see clearly, and it was just a vague shadow when she lifted the lamp, so she asked loudly: "Which room is it?" If it is not important to come to find grandma so late, I will come back tomorrow to say goodbye. ”

The mother-in-law said: "It's Sister Yan'er and Mama Liu, the housekeeper in Brother Tongxi's courtyard." ”

"Why are you the only one? What about Sister Yan and Brother Xi? Grandma waited for this for a long time. Meiyun asked strangely.

The woman's voice was worried: "I was led by the nurse to ask for peace, but I didn't know that the rain in the garden was slippery, and the ground was full of chaotic branches that were broken by the wind, and I accidentally tripped and fell ........." ”

"But where are you falling, have you asked for a doctor?" Meiyun asked urgently, and Cui's face sank.

The mother-in-law hurriedly replied: "The second master of Cha passed in time, and he didn't fall anywhere, but his clothes were wet, and he was afraid that he would be soaked in the cold, so he took it back to change his clothes, and he was afraid that grandma would be anxious to wait, so he came to report it." “

Cui's face was full of anger, and he said hatefully: "You don't have to bring it here, you go to Dr. Wang to see me again." Tonight, the maid and wife of Hengxi Courtyard are not allowed to rest, so I will guard her sister and brother for a good life, and come to me tomorrow morning to receive the punishment. ”

The woman knelt and kowtowed, trembling and disappearing into the black curtain of rain.

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

Tian Jiang finished reading the book and was about to go to bed, when he heard the second master of Cuimei Dao outside the curtain reply, and the words fell, but when he saw Shen Zetang walking in, his waist and abdomen were wet.

She was a little puzzled but didn't ask, just stepped on her shoes and went to the ground.

Lu Qiang and Hong Yun, who served the second master to wash, were dismissed by her, and now Yingge is gone again, she is his wife, and she should have served him.

Then he gathered his somewhat loose bun, walked in front of Shen Zetang, and stretched out his hand to naturally change his clothes.

Shen Zetang saw that she was wearing a bean green soft silk shirt, white inlaid silver silk jackets, and a red sweat towel tied around her waist, with loose black hair, which showed even more coquettishness.

He held the slender white fingers that were busy on his chest, and smiled: "The weather is too cold, you are dressed so thinly, go back to the bed and cover it, don't be cold." ”

"But ........" Tian Jiang hesitated.

Shen Zetang let go of her: "Even if you are not there, I am not used to anyone serving in front of me in the past." Then he turned and went to the clean room.

Tian Jiang read the book, and suddenly remembered the wetness on Shen Erye's clothes, and he seemed to have forgotten to bring a change of clothes to ......

The yellow halo of the mutton oil lamp in the clean room leaked through the cracks of the curtains, accompanied by the sound of splashing water, she hugged her straight jacket to her chest, but she hesitated.
