Chapter 172: Waiting
After listening to Du Xuanmo's words, Shen Shiliu nodded, but still said, "There are still a long time." ”
Du Xuanmo smiled, and then said, "Continue to read the account book, and eat later." ”
Shen Shiliu hurriedly went to read the account book, and after reading it, he hurried to eat.
At night, Shen Pomegranate was still the same as before, watching Du Xuanmo reading in the outer room, Du Xuanmo was so serious and quiet, Shen Shimei felt that he couldn't see enough no matter how he looked.
"Is it that pretty?" Du Xuanmo smiled while looking at it, and his eyes did not take his eyes off the book, but the pampering on his face was seen by Shen Shimei.
"Well, it's good-looking, I can't get enough of it!" Shen Shimei said beautifully, originally she was just "secretly" watching, but since Du Xuanmo directly said it, she didn't have to "secretly", moved to the front and held her face with her hands, and looked at it carefully.
Du Xuanmo put down the book, smiled helplessly, and finally touched Shen Pomegranate's cheek and said, "When will the pomegranate grow up?" ”
"It's already huge...... Soon! Shen Shiliu said halfway, and finally understood what Du Xuanmo meant, and quickly changed his words, he couldn't wipe the gun and go off the fire now.
Du Xuanmo laughed a few times and said, "Don't you sleep yet?" Lately, I've been sleeping less and less. ”
Although Shen Shimei doesn't care about the kitchen now, he has more things to worry about, his brain cells are always highly active, and he sleeps less at night.
"Can't sleep." Shen Pomegranate sighed.
Du Xuanmo saw that Shen Shimei's eyes were still wide and he didn't want to sleep at all, so he pushed open the window, although the moon outside was not round, but it was very bright.
"I'm afraid it's windy tomorrow." Shen Shiliu said, there is a wind circle outside the moon, as the saying goes, "the sun is halo and the rain is three, and the moon is halo at noon", Shen Shiliu looked at the wind circle outside, and suddenly felt that it was the scenery, mainly because the person accompanying him was Du Xuanmo. As long as she is with Du Xuanmo, even if she looks at a small ditch, she can enjoy it as a small bridge and flowing water.
Du Xuanmo also looked at the wind circle, the weather has passed the hottest time, and after the Qixi Festival, it is not far from the Mid-Autumn Festival.
"I'll be back early tomorrow and go out to take you out for a walk." Du Xuanmo said that he was always busy with business and cared too little about Shen Shimei, and he wanted to accompany Shen Shimei more when he had time.
Shen Shiliu nodded, the two of them are also very harmonious in this mode of marital love.
"I'll wait for you to come back." Shen Shiliu said.
……
Early the next morning, Shen Pomegranate sent Du Xuanmo away and began to prepare, and the newly made clothes were also taken out for comparison, which looked like a dating woman.
When Jingwen came over at noon, she saw that Shen Shimei was stinky and beautiful in front of the mirror, so she said, "Sister-in-law, it's beautiful enough!" ”
"Haha!" Shen Shiliu laughed, Jingwen was so good at talking, she coaxed her to smile every time.
The two sisters-in-law talked together from time to time, and Xiao Tie came in outside, saying that Zheng Erzhu asked someone to come to carry the letter, saying that someone came to sell jade, and wanted Shen Shimei to give the palm of the eye.
Shen Shiliu took Jingwen out directly, so that her palms and eyes were white, she couldn't tell which one was jade and which was stone, and which piece of glass fooled her, she could think that it was an ice seed, and at this time she had to rely on Jingwen.
When he arrived at the jewelry store, Zheng Erzhu forgot about Shen Pomegranate in the backyard, Jingwen glanced at the storefront, didn't say anything, and followed in.
"...... this?" Shen Shiliu took a piece of red jade and looked at it, but she couldn't see anything.
Jingwen took it and looked at it, and said, "This is bloodstone, although it is large, but it is uneven, it looks good in some places, and there is a mixture in some places, which can only be regarded as a lower grade, but if it is made of jewelry inlay, it can be used." ”
Shen Shiliu nodded after hearing this, and then told Zheng Erzhu what he said, and asked Zheng Erzhu to negotiate the price.
"It's interesting here." Jing Wen said for a long time.
Shen Shiliu knew that Jingwen had been bored at home for a long time, and she was a little yearning for the scenery outside the house, so she said: "If you want to come in the future, let Xiao Tie take you and Xiao Ling'er together, originally I also thought that this shop would give you a dowry in the future, if there is someone who comes to sell jade and gems, you can also be regarded as showing yourself the store." ”
Jingwen smiled and said, "I want to come with my sister-in-law." ”
Shen Shiliu didn't know that Jingwen was so clingy, but she was very happy to be stuck to such a cute little girl.
"Okay, follow if you like." Shen Shiliu thinks that Du Niangzi's training of piano, chess, calligraphy and painting is enough, Jingwen has a lot of industries, and when she grows up, she always has to run her own business, she directly teaches her children, and Jingwen will be able to run her own family in the future, according to Du Xuanmo's idea, Jingwen is also very likely to stand up for herself in the future, after all, there is a family's hat, and it is not impossible for Du Xuanmo to enter the family circle by reviving the Jing family.
The two went home, Shen Pomegranate waited, Du Xuanmo said that she would come back early today, she waited after lunch, and slept for a while when she was sleepy, but until the evening, she didn't see Du Xuanmo's figure.
When it was almost dark, Xiao Tie finally came to report.
"Young grandma, the young master said that he would have to come back late at night......" Xiao Tie said in the end, his voice became smaller, Shen Shimei was waiting to go out at night all day, changing clothes and looking for jewelry, and now he can't go out, it should be very sad.
Shen Shiliu sighed, this day is in vain.
"Tell the kitchen to leave food for the young master." Shen Shiliu said.
Xiao Tie nodded and went to the kitchen first, and Shen Shimei was aggrieved, but Du Xuanmo didn't come back late for a day or two, and she was used to it.
Du Niangzi came over to chat for a while in the evening, and now Yin Qingqing, the account book of the restaurant, can take over, and Du Niangzi is also leisurely. The theme of Du Niangzi's every time she looks for Shen Pomegranate is nothing more than two, giving birth to a child and telling Yin Qingqing about family affairs.
"Mother, don't worry, the Hanlin Academy has been arranged clearly, and I promise to find a scholarly family for my cousin!" Shen Shiliu patted his chest this time and said.
Du Niangzi nodded, although Yin Qingqing has a gentle temperament, but after all, she doesn't read much, she is not a talented woman, and it is good to be able to read and hyphenate words, if the requirements are too high, the other party is afraid that she will look down on Yin Qingqing.
"With you to handle this, my mother can rest assured, but Qingqing is ......" Du Niangzi was a little worried.
Gentleman Lu saw that Du Niangzi's face was difficult and hesitant, so he asked: "Mother, what's wrong with Cousin Qingqing?" ”
Du Niangzi wanted to speak and stopped, and finally gritted her teeth and said: "I think Qingqing doesn't seem to care about family affairs, if it weren't for the store to keep her accounts these days, she is afraid that she will go to live in a nunnery outside the city again!" ”
Shen Shiliu felt strange and asked: "Qingqing has not left the cabinet, and it should be normal for Qingqing to be very enthusiastic about family affairs." ”
Du Niangzi is still worried: "This child has never been very talkative, and now she always wants to go to the nunnery, I am always afraid that she wants to... Be cynical! ”
Shen Shimei is also a little uncertain, Du Niangzi is more sensitive, and she likes to think crankily about everything, I'm afraid that it will not be made up by her own brain.
"Don't think about it, mother, I'll quickly arrange for it to see if there is a suitable blind date, just get together with talented and beautiful people!" Shen Shiliu said that she was also afraid that Yin Qingqing would see through Hongchen and become a nun like this.
Du Niangzi nodded, now she can only count on Shen Shimei, her mother's family now has a niece, if she doesn't take care of it well, she won't have the face to see people.
After sending Du Niangzi away, Shen Shiliu sat in the outer room, drawing new jewelry drawings while waiting for Du Xuanmo to come back. Shen Shiliu is not a hypocritical person, Du Xuanmo rarely fails to make appointments, and she is disappointed when she suddenly can't come back, but she also wonders if Du Xuanmo has encountered any problems.
Shen Pomegranate drew the drawings until midnight, Du Xuanmo still didn't come back, Shen Pomegranate didn't come back at this time, and then the curfew would definitely not come back, so she had to go to sleep first, but Du Xuanmo didn't come back, and she didn't sleep well.
In the early hours of the morning, Du Xuanmo finally came back, Shen Shiliu didn't sleep very deeply all night, and when he heard the sound of pushing the door, he got up directly, and really saw Du Xuanmo in the outer room.
"But I'm back, but what's going on in the palace?" Shen Shiliu greeted him and asked.
Du Xuanmo looked tired, and pulled Shen Shiliu to sit down and speak first.
"There has been a new breakthrough in the suicide of the three princes, not suicide, but forced to death, the emperor is now angry, and Dali Temple has also intervened." Du Xuanmo said.
Originally, he wanted to come back early yesterday, but he found something suspicious, and after discussing it with Liang Zhengxin, Liang Zhengxin's opinion was also to explain it to the emperor as soon as possible, so as not to have too many dreams at night.
Shen Shiliu is now full of "palace fighting dramas", women finally stop tearing each other apart, but the wars between men are constant.
"Let's go to bed first, are you hungry or not, do you want to eat something before you go to sleep?" Shen Shiliu asked, unable to sleep even when he was hungry.
Du Xuanmo nodded: "I'm really hungry, and I haven't run out of rice and water since noon yesterday." ”
Shen Shiliu was distressed, put on a dress, and said while putting on clothes: "You too, next time you go to the emperor to report something, remember to have a meal before you go, this emperor really uses you ministers as iron!" ”
Du Xuanmo smiled bitterly, but Shen Shimei's opinion is also very reasonable, next time he will definitely eat and drink well before entering the palace to face the saint!
Shen Shiliu went to the kitchen to work for a while, and the rice left yesterday was directly heated in the steamer at this time, watching Du Xuanmo eat slowly and methodically when he was so hungry, Shen Shimei smiled.
"You're more composed." Shen Shiliu said, Du Xuanmo has been in the court for so many days, and he is really not in vain, and finally has a bit of the taste of Mount Tai collapsing in front of him and not changing his face.
Du Xuanmo took a sip of porridge, and then said, "I've always been very calm." ”
"It's different, I used to pretend to be mature, but now I'm really mature!" Shen Shiliu said, she has seen the young Du Xuanmo, at that time, the days were hard, Du Xuanmo had to take care of the family and the stall, it seemed to be more than calm, but in fact, he still showed panic unintentionally.
Du Xuanmo smiled and said to Shen Shiliu dotingly: "Only you know me best." His panic and embarrassment were only seen by Shen Shimei.
