Chapter 3 Worship the Shrine
The aroma of wine is strong, in front of the black oil counter, there is an iron scoop erected in five or six old large wine tanks, the shopkeeper inserts the funnel into the pot brought by the drinker, the iron scoop stretches into the tank and pulls it up, and then pulls it straight up, it is filled with two shakes, two silver goods, and the drinker carries the pot in a hurry, and wants to rush back to entertain the guests.
Ma Chun, who was born and raised in Zhenjiang, knew that the Baihua wine sold here was the most mellow and fragrant in the city, and he spat and encouraged everyone not to miss it.
Yang Qing and Shen Zetang stood by the canal, watching the fishing boats with crickets leaning on the shore one after another, with women squatting on the boats and fish scales, and the aft fire cabin was cooking, emitting wisps of green smoke.
Seeing a boatman boiling a pot full of mung bean soup, Yang Qingfang didn't feel it, but now he relaxed, only felt a little hungry in his stomach, whispered a few words with the officials, and brought three bowls of mung bean soup in a short time, hot, he had one bowl of himself, one bowl each for Shen Zetang and Feng Shunyu.
The three of them slowly ate the mung bean soup, and Yang Qing asked with a smile, "When does Lord Shen plan to go to Nanjing?" ”
Shen Zetang said casually: "Leave early tomorrow morning." ”
"Why the rush? Can't you stay in Zhenjiang for a few more days? Yang Qing was very surprised, the case of "Leshanzhuang" was complicated, if Shen Zetang gave him more mention, it would be more appropriate to deal with it.
Shen Zetang saw through his thoughts, and his tone was obviously a little bleak: "I can help you for a while, but I can't help you for a lifetime, how difficult the officialdom is, you need to do your own career, I hope Lord Yang will do it himself." ”
After saying that, he handed the bowl to the official, said to Shun Yu to follow me, and walked leisurely to the bridge with his hands behind his back.
Shun Yu drank the soup in two sips, and chased after Yang Qing with his jaw, Yang Qing's face was swollen and red at this time, and he was ashamed, and when he saw Shen Huan and Shen Rong following, he hurriedly put down the bowl and tailed it behind.
Shun Yu saw Shen Erye standing with Qiaoyang, and when he approached him, he saw a shrine there, with couplets on a red background and gold paint on both sides: the purple bamboo forest is at ease, and the lotus flower is sitting on it. Through the cracks of the hanging curtains, you can glimpse the gods sitting solemnly in the deep darkness, the incense in front of the desk is burning, and a pair of young men and women kneel on the futon and worship sincerely.
"Feng Jiu, come and worship with me." Shen Zetang saw the pair of young men and women get up and leave, and looked back and asked Shun Yu to come to him.
Shun Yu only felt the green tendons on her forehead beating, and she took two steps back in fright and waved her hand: "Buddha Feng Sheng stays in his heart, Lord Shen still worships himself." ”
Shen Zetang's eyes were wet, and he raised his hand to stroke the Adam's apple around his neck: "I was just bitten by a beautiful snake, Feng Jiu is sure not to ask for peace for me?" “
The gentle tone made Shun Yu creepy.
Shen Huan pushed Shun Yu at the back: "Grinding and grinding, the second master tells you to worship, you will go to worship together, let the gods destroy the anger of the beauty snake, who let him bite the second master without knowing it." He was about to laugh, and even the cold Shen Rong hooked the corners of his lips.
Yang Qing's face was inexplicable, and suddenly he glanced around nervously, could it be that the beauty snake was hiding beside him? !
Shun Yu walked to the futon in small steps, looking at Shen Erye's short body, she had to bite her lip and kneel, kowtow three times together, and was grabbed by Shen Erye's hand and bowed three times, and then both stood up.
Shun Yu raised her eyes and saw that Shen Erye was smiling, and she was very helpless, what was so funny, this feeling of being like a husband and wife visiting the church, seemed to be close at hand, but it was like being far away from thousands of mountains and rivers, making her feel like she didn't know where to go.
..........................
Back at the Baihua Inn, it was late at night, and Shun Yu glanced at Xu Jing and entered Shen Erye's room, there must be something important to discuss.
She went into her room, leaned on the pillow of the bed and read, when she heard a man come to say that someone downstairs wanted to see her by name.
Shun Yu was secretly surprised, thinking that there was no one she knew in Zhenjiang City, and the guy saw her hesitating, and said busily, it was the weaving bureau Langzhong Wei Ji'an Wei Daren who visited.
Shun Yu knew what he was here for, so he went downstairs with his buddies.
Wei Ji'an is very young, delicate and fair, thin and picky, with the gentle style of a son of Jiangnan, it is hard to imagine that at such an age, there are already a group of wives and concubines.
Shun Yu gave him a salute, and he also returned the salute, looking at it and chuckling and asking, "Are you Lord Qin's cousin Feng Shunyu?" ”
Seeing her chin head, he continued: "I have a very good relationship with Lord Qin, and I received a letter from him a few days ago, asking me to take you back to the capital, and I will leave tomorrow morning, are you willing to go with me?" ”
Shun Yu shook his head and said lightly: "I went out of Beijing to make a calendar, and after the Dali Temple Qing applied for the selection book, the official preparation process was in order, how could there be a reason to retreat halfway, if I really went back with Lord Wei, I was afraid that it would be difficult for the adults to do it." ”
"It's okay!" Wei Ji'an said with a smile: "Now that Lord Qin is very powerful in the court, I heard that Xu Ge Lao intends to promote him to the secretary of the Ministry of Industry, and the matter of your return to Beijing is not a matter of time." ”
Shun Yu's heart sank, could it be that Qin Yanzhao had already colluded with Xu Bingyong? !
.............................
The inexplicable thoughts stretched until the next morning, when she heard Shen Huan calling the door, Shun Yu got up in a panic and put on it.
Last night, the dream was in a trance, Qin Yanzhao and Shen Erye were entangled alternately, thinking about it until the rain started in the middle of the night, listening to the sound of ticking, and then fell asleep.
After washing, she pedaled downstairs, the spring cold and wind and rain, couldn't help sneezing, and saw Shen Erye standing outside the door in a velvet coat, he was tall and clear, very conspicuous, Shen Rong was holding a green cloth umbrella, Yang Qing wore an official robe and stood on the side and said something, he was here to see him off.
It's really too late, so everyone is waiting for her.
Shun Yu blushed and quietly hid behind Shen Erye, but was seen by Yang Qing at a glance, somehow, he liked this historical supervisor very much, and he felt very attached to it, and couldn't help but ask her: "How old is Feng Sheng now?" ”
Shun Yu was a little inexplicable, but he also answered truthfully, he was seventeen years old.
Yang Qing asked again: "I don't know if Feng Sheng has a wife?" “
No, Shun Yu shook his head.
Yang Qing smiled with surprise on his face and said: "There is a woman in my family who has just grown up, with a beautiful appearance and a virtuous and ........ character. “
He was dumbfounded, unable to say the words in his mouth.
But seeing Shen Erye saying goodbye to him lightly, that is, hugging Feng Sheng's shoulders, and going to the direction of the carriage quite intimately, he could hear Feng Sheng muttering in his mouth, and he could still hear him righteous and strict when he was far away, talking about the gentleman's self-cultivation, his heart inside, and his behavior outside, etc., and then looking at the guards were not strange.
He felt that there were some thunderbolts, grabbed the food box and walked to the last Shen Huan, pointed to the figure who got into the carriage, and even said intermittently: "Lord Shen and Feng Sheng, the two of them are ........." “
Shen Huan arched his hand and smiled at him: "Lord Yang, sometimes it is really difficult to be confused. After finishing speaking, he hurried into the smoke and rain.
It's rare to be confused......
Shen bully made him rarely confused, a commander made him rare to be confused, Yang Qing was stunned for a long time, only to look at the world and be in a hurry, in his officialdom career, it is difficult to be confused.
