Late at night, after two days of bumpy carriages, it finally stopped in front of a mansion on Ruyi Street in Yunzhou.

The imposing wide-beamed gate stands out from the houses along the street, indicating that the door is particularly prominent. There are four locusts at the door, and there is also a dismounted stone with the inscription of Emperor Taizu on it. When you get here, the civil official has to get off the sedan chair, and the military attache has to get off the horse.

Such a prominent family, except for the Mo family, there is no second one in Yunzhou.

The servant had already received the news, and respectfully brought the low stool for the feet, and invited the people inside out of the carriage.

Just after the Mid-Autumn Festival, the moon on the 16th was in full time.

Shen Yun landed first and helped Shaowei down. She looked at the door in front of her, her eyes full of strangeness. It's no wonder that she lives in Beizhuang in Yaozhou most of the time, and rarely returns to her ancestral home in Yunzhou unless there is a major event in the clan.

Xia Xiaoqiu followed his subordinates to stop the carriage, and they followed the old housekeeper and stepped into the house.

She didn't ask how her mother was, and the housekeeper who came to pick her up didn't say anything, and walked silently all the way through the antechamber to the main courtyard. As soon as she passed the courtyard gate, a young man ran out, stopped not far in front of her, and looked at her for a long time before silently stepping forward and holding her hand.

Shaoyuan, who has always talked a lot, pulled her forward without saying a word.

Shen Yun quietly looked at the backs of the two sisters and brothers, and asked the housekeeper, "Mrs. Mo has already gone immortal?" ”

On the way, he saw that the subordinate was removing the red lantern from the porch, which should be replaced with a white lantern, and what he noticed, Shaowei should have also noticed.

The butler lowered his head and confirmed his suspicions: "Just before Shen Gongzi and Miss arrived. ”

Shen Yun glanced at the full moon in the sky and lightly brushed his sleeve folds: "It's a step too late." ”

Shaoyuan pulled Shaowei, extremely silent along the way, and saw the subordinate who was hanging a white lantern under the Jiuqu corridor, and finally lost control. He rushed forward, kicked the man to the ground, stepped on the overturned lantern, and roared, "Who told you to hang the white lantern!" Don't hang up! ”

He grabbed the man from the ground and punched him in the face: "Mother doesn't like white lanterns, whoever dares to hang them will die!" ”

The subordinate was beaten to the point that his eyes were full of stars, knelt on the ground, and trembled: "The second son spares his life......"

"Hang all the red lanterns back for me! No one is allowed to hang this desolate lantern today! ”

Seeing that his subordinates hesitated, Shaoyuan wanted to continue to move, but Shaowei stepped forward to stop his movements and held him in his arms.

She said softly, "Shaoyuan, take me to see my mother." ”

He struggled in her arms for a moment, and finally choked up, "Okay, let's go see Mother." ”

Shen Yun followed behind the Mo family sisters and brothers, and came to a cross-courtyard in the east, facing the lighted room at the courtyard gate, with the title of Liuyue Ju. The maids and maids were all guarding the door, but it was quiet, and when they got closer, they heard a slight and restrained sob. But because the master gave the order, no one was allowed to cry.

As soon as Shaowei entered, she saw a middle-aged man sitting on the edge of the bed, that person she had been afraid of for many years, and she had not even dared to look directly, so she didn't know if the few strands of white hair next to his sideburns were already there, or if they were new in the past few days.

Shaoyuan called: "Dad." ”

The man sat motionless on the edge of the bed, his hand clasping the woman's hand tightly on the bed. Shaoyuan called again, and his shoulders moved lightly and turned around. He looked at his pair of children, and although his voice was extremely hoarse, he did not lose the calmness of the head of the family: "Shaowei, come and send your mother." ”

She stood there and did not move.

She didn't dare to move, for fear that the calm she had worked so hard to maintain would collapse like the talented Shaoyuan. She can't collapse.

Dingyuan Hou's voice was a little harsher than Shicai: "Come here!" ”

Her body trembled instinctively, and she heard Dingyuan Hou say, "Shen Yun, you come over too." ”

The man he had called by name looked at her and took her hand. She didn't resist and obediently followed him to the bedside.

The Marquis of Dingyuan looked haggard and said, "I wanted to handle your marriage when the people in the house were still conscious, but I didn't know that Lord Yan was so anxious, and I couldn't wait for a moment." Take advantage of the fact that now, black and white impermanence has not gone far, worship the parents of the high hall, and tie the knot. When the insiders cross the Nai He Bridge, they can also let go of a matter of their hearts. ”

He has always been arbitrary, and after saying that, he immediately sent someone to simply arrange the incense table and light a pair of wedding candles.

Shaoyuan opened his mouth when he heard this, obviously unacceptable to such an arrangement, but remembering his mother's words before leaving, he swallowed back the objection that came to his lips, looked at Shen Yun with red eyes, and called, "Brother-in-law." ”

Before Shaowei came back to his senses, he heard the man beside him say lightly: "Everything is subject to the arrangement of the Hou Ye." As he spoke, he turned his head and met her face to face, at this time, there was no trace of casual attitude on his face, "Shaowei, I have nothing to do now, and I can't marry you in a beautiful way, are you still willing to marry me?" ”

She looked at him and nodded slightly.

He held her hand, first raised his sleeves and bowed to the incense case with the candle burning, and then turned to the Marquis of Dingyuan and Mrs. Mo, who had passed away on the bed, and knelt down. These knees, except for the Son of Heaven, have never knelt down to anyone, but today he kneels very decisively. Shaowei's eyes were slightly red, and he knelt down with him, and snorted his head at his parents in a proper manner......

For the next three days, she was in the mourning hall for the Qin family, and in the eyes of the Mo family, her young lady's performance was too calm, and no one even saw her shed a single tear. Shen Yun heard his subordinates chewing on the root of their tongues more than once: "In the end, it was raised outside, and it was not close to Mrs. Hou." ”

As a guest, he has been placed in the West Cross Courtyard, these days Mofu has to receive people from all over the world to pay their respects, his special identity is inconvenient, and he rarely has the opportunity to see her.

When the coffin is out of the funeral, everything is over.

At night to the third watch, as soon as he bathed and changed his clothes, he saw a small figure wearing a white filial piety dress, sitting under the porch in front of his room, drinking alone to the moon. At the right time, the night was as cool as washing, the frost was all over the ground, and in the swaying Guiying, she looked very lonely.

Hearing his footsteps, she raised her eyes to look at him and called, "Shen Yun." ”

He sat down beside her and watched as she poured her wine. She didn't know how many glasses she had drunk, and her red little face was obviously slightly drunk.

She poured a full glass of wine and looked at him with a far-fetched smile: "Shen Yun, I'...... I don't have a mother anymore. So saying, he covered his mouth with his sleeve and drank the contents of the cup.

Shen Yun grabbed her shoulders and let her lean into his arms, the wine cup in her hand fell to the ground, and she reached out and slowly grabbed his clothes.

His hand gently stroked her long hair and said, "Cry, no one laughs at you." ”

She finally began to sob, which was small at first, but then gradually let go, and became more and more sad. She finally behaved like a normal girl, venting all her sadness and grievances without reservation.

When she finally got tired of crying, he picked her up and walked towards the room.

She hadn't closed her eyes for days, and fell asleep as soon as she dipped her pillow, and he took off her robe and shoes and socks for her, turned on the lamp and lay down under the covers. He kissed her long hair and took the soft body into his arms.

The next day she woke up first, and when she looked up, she saw his thin jaw with a short stubble that had just emerged, she raised her hand and touched it gently, he grabbed her hand and pressed her back into his arms. She sniffed him, closed her eyes again, and asked, "Are you awake?" ”

He snorted lazily, in response.

She asked him, "These days, have anyone come to trouble you?" ”

Naturally, someone came to him for trouble. Except for the Marquis of Dingyuan and Shaoyuan, not many people in this mansion know his identity, and during this time, he has also shown people with masks, but everyone in the Mo Mansion knows that this Shen Gongzi, who is of unknown origin, and his eldest lady in front of the Hou Ye, worshiped the hall and became a relative, and the entire Mo family will be his in the future.

Of course, there are many people who are not convinced.

However, the troubles that came to him were not really troublesome for him, and he was idle and idle, just to pass the time.

He understated: "I'm not you, I will only swallow my anger when I am bullied." That eleventh cousin of yours is called ......"

Seeing that he was silent, she shouldn't be able to think of a name, so she reminded him, "Zizhan." ”

"Well, he shouldn't dare to come back anytime soon."

She couldn't help but prop herself up and ask him, "What did you do to him?" ”

He opened his eyes, and a meaningful smile appeared on his lips: "Are you sure you want to hear it?" ”

She lay down again and said, "Forget it." "A few days ago, I heard someone say that since the eleventh prince came to his yard once, he was about to vomit when he saw the food for a few days, and the whole person lost weight. It's disgusting to think about, but she still doesn't listen.

This person often bullied her when she was a child, and now she is planted in Shen Yun's hands, which can be regarded as the reincarnation of heaven.

But he was still a little worried, and said: "You have to be careful of him, he has not done good things in the past few years, and he has been involved in some messy sects on the rivers and lakes. And he said, "I know you've never been afraid of things, but it's annoying to always have flies flying around, isn't it?" ”

The corners of his lips hooked: "I promise, he will be about a year and a half, and he will be disgusted when he thinks about that, and he will not have the heart to retaliate." ”

Hearing him say this, she felt a chill for no reason, and couldn't help but leave some of his arms. Noticing her evasion, he rolled over and grabbed her wrist.

"Less."

He called her name, and the heat sprayed on her face, making her tickle a little.

During this time, during her filial piety, although they were in the same house, they couldn't see each other a few times, let alone have close contact.

Looking at his gradually impure gaze, she reminded him: "During the period of filial piety, husband and wife cannot have sex together for three years. ”

He narrowed his slender eyes and said, "Since my mother-in-law left a will, let you and I worship in front of her, I don't care about those false courtesies." ”

As he spoke, he bowed his head and sealed her mouth.

At this time, she came here to look for Shaowei, but was told by Xia Xiaoqiu that she and Shen Yun, who had not yet gotten up, were standing in the courtyard with ugly faces, trying to maintain their peace of mind. However, after turning around the courtyard twice, he finally couldn't help but rush forward.

Xia Xiaoqiu stopped him: "Second son, what are you going to do?" ”

He said: "Du, all of them can't get up at this hour, they must be presumptuous!" ”

His voice was so loud that he startled the birds that had rested on the eaves.

Xia Xiaoqiu looked at him funny and reasoned with him: "Second son, my family and Miss Mo are already husband and wife, shouldn't they be presumptuous?" ”

Shaoyuan choked and reluctantly admitted, as if this was the truth.
