Shen Zetang stood up, approached the treasure furnace and cut off the incense, and said: "I sent someone to find Pan Tao, who is now making a living by opening a medicinal herb shop in Qujing, Guizhou, and has not yet married a wife. ”

Meng Sheng suddenly changed color, looked at each other angrily, and scolded him repeatedly: "What despicable means do you want to use to harm him?" Isn't it enough for me to be forced to stay here and have children for you? ”

Shen Zetang was silent for a while, and his voice became weaker and weaker: "You don't have to be so nervous, as the saying goes, it doesn't matter if the flowers bloom and fall in spring, the water is warm and the fish know it, we are like a cage for you as a husband and wife, and I am so happy." That is, it is a bad fate, and when it is broken, it will be chaotic, and I have realized it! He took out a letter of resignation and handed it over.

Mengsheng saw that Shen Zetang, the person who wrote the book, was a native of the capital of Shuntianfu, hired Ye as his wife by the media, gave birth to a daughter, and the couple had been married for three years. Since then, we have resolved our grievances and released knots, and we have a good time.

Mengsheng was not happy for a while, and he was not worried, from the beginning of marrying into the Shen Mansion to begging, to now listening to him personally agree, although he got what he wanted, his heart was inexplicably empty and not a taste.

This letter of resignation is actually a bit hot.

She clutched her handkerchief: "Master, the book is in your hands, my husband and wife are still round mirrors, if I take it, it will be difficult to reunite the broken mirror, you should think clearly." ”

Shen Zetang was silent, but his expression became more and more indifferent.

Mengsheng took the letter of resignation, lowered her neck and read it carefully, she asked: "When the law of the dynasty is cloudy, and the wife's family is scattered, if he is divorced, the homeless will not be abandoned, does the lord ignore his career?" She added: "I have been living with my aunt since I was a child, and she died last year, and I am divorced at this time, so it is not convenient to return there....... What's more, there are many disputes in the back house, and Sister Li has no mother's shade to protect her, so she is afraid of being bullied......."

Shen Zetang closed his eyes and opened them again, in his previous life, he was moved by her words, and he didn't care much about her going or staying.

Sitting back on the chair, his tone was very calm: "Sister Li will send her mother to be raised on her knees, and I am here, no one can and dare not bully her." I have met Pan Tao, he still has feelings for you, and he doesn't mind anything else, so I discussed a policy, and after I left Beijing, on the grounds that you were going to Yunnan to find a husband, the guards escorted all the way to Guizhou, and Pan Tao picked you up. I will deal with it in the future, but from now on you will not be allowed to set foot in the capital for half a step. ”

Meng Sheng was silent for a while, and clapped his hands mockingly: "The master is really a person in the officialdom, and he is strategizing without leaking, but I have already been another wife, is Pan Tao still willing to marry his wife?" ”

"Yes!" Shen Zetang pursed the corners of his lips: "I can bear it, how can he not bear it!" ”

On the wedding night, the blood stains on the white cloth were stained by cutting his arm, and then ordered the guards to secretly visit her at her parents' house, as expected.

Meng Sheng's face turned red, and he suddenly became angry, and folded the letter of resignation into his sleeve: "My old dowry, as well as the silver given by the master, will be taken away." ”

Shen Zetang nodded his head disappreciatively, and heard the curtains ringing, it was Yingge who came in to pour tea.

He said: "Yingge will also go with you, and Mengqing ......."

Mengsheng sneered: "Yingge and Mengqing are bound to stay, Sister Li'er will not have a good time in the future, at least someone can give me a message, if the master refuses, I will not leave." ”

"Whatever you want!" Shen Zetang's eyebrows were slightly furrowed, there was no need to wait any longer, he walked out of the room with his robe, and stood for a while, the night was thick and heavy, the shadows of the trees were uneven, looking back at the moonlight on the paper window, Shen Huan handed over the cloak, he waved his hand, and walked briskly.

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

And said that the time is like an arrow, the sun and the moon are like a shuttle, and see the summer to catch the fireflies, suddenly to the frost day to hear the geese, do not feel the snow night lying down to listen to the rooster's song, wait until the horse's hooves step on the broken silver flowers into the city, it is already the willow curling Mo on the green time.

Shen Zetang went down to the early court, staggered in the market in the official sedan chair, and after several years of bending his fingers, he returned to Beijing from Yunnan to calm the turmoil.

Lifting the sedan curtain and looking out, the shadows of Chunshu Hutong are starry, silent and desolate, as if the city is full of winter is condensed here.

Not far away, there was a stall selling wonton chicken, and the old man was listlessly playing the huqin.

He instructed Shen Huan to park the official sedan chair on the side of the road, there was an abandoned mansion here, which was the mansion of Tian Qihui, the servant of the Ministry of Works, but unfortunately most of it was burned down by a fire, and people couldn't help but sigh when they saw it.

No one followed, but walked alone towards the garden unhurriedly.

The eaves beams and pillars are damaged by the color paint, the rockery white stone overturns, the board path is wet and green, although the ancient pine is sharp, but it grows side by side with the shrubs and miscellaneous trees, the pavilion is exquisite, but it is entangled by the dogwood vine grass, suddenly sees a big plum tree, but bears a green and astringent small fruit, and is sprinkled on the ground by the stubborn bird.

Here he was invited by Tian Qihui to go to the house with his colleagues to chat, how could he be so defeated at that time.

And I didn't mean to see a little girl pestering a young man to talk about the Four Books and Five Classics.

The young man saw that there was a guest, so he hurriedly came over to greet the little girl, it was Tian Shunji, the eldest son of Tian Fu.

That little girl heard that she was the ninth girl in the house, and she was as delicate as she was, and she was as willful as she was.

Shen Zetang smiled.

Tian Qihui's house was built by him, set the South Park and North Courtyard Dacheng, everywhere shows ingenuity, there are officials proposed to go around, Tian Qihui is hearty and hospitable, since he is full of promises, while walking also pointing to the carved beams and painting pavilions and cave doors to explain a good time.

Shen Zetang slowly fell to the end, on the left side was a hollow carved wall, he had already noticed that there was a figure on the wall following all the way, dodging and flickering, flickering and flickering, like a little rat squirming.

He suddenly stood with his hands behind the wall, and the little mouse just poked his head out, his eyes facing each other, and the wind and the birdsong were still.

It was the little girl who was called Jiu'er, obviously shocked by him, her eyes were watery and blinking, and she looked a little panicked.

"Miss in the boudoir, what are you peeking at us big men doing?" Shen Zetang scared her: "If you don't tell the truth, I'll tell your father!" ”

Father is a majestic existence in the heart of every little girl, Jiu'er is obviously no exception, she pinched the carved peach blossom branches on the wall, and begged for mercy softly: "Brother said that you are all big people in the court, I think only the divine dragon in the sky has this ability, I want to see if you have horns on your forehead?!" ”

Shen Zetang couldn't help laughing: "Then you've seen it, do we have horns on our foreheads?" ”

Jiu'er hurriedly shook his head: "No, uncle is the same as father, they are all human beings." ”

“.........”

Uncle........ Shen Zetang touched his face and sighed: "If you don't leave, you don't need me to tell your father, he will find out." ”

Jiu'er hurriedly clasped hands and saluted: "Uncle, let's go!" "I'm going to run.

"Wait!" Shen Zetang stopped her: "Call brother!" ”

Jiu'er hesitated for a moment, this brother is old enough!

"Brother is good to go!" Grimacing and running away.

Shen Zetang laughed, and he raised his eyes to see the front yard door, and the figure of a young man swayed by.

"Jiu'er!" He shouted.

A wisp of wind blew through the hall and made his clothes tremble, and then he stared closely, but it was Shen Huan who walked in.
