Chapter 263: Summer is Long

The weather is getting hotter and hotter, fortunately, there is no lake in the back garden of the Shen family, Shen Muqing does not have to worry about Xiao Yueying falling into the water, but Xiao Yueying does not take a nap, and likes to play in the forest every afternoon when the sun is the strongest, which also gives Shen Muqing a headache.

"The dermatology department of the big girl is really good." Ying Fan looked at the scorching sun outside, "It's so sunny every day, whiter than me." ”

"She's a little kid, you can compare to her." Shen Muqing smiled, "Everything is ready?" ”

Ying Fan nodded: "It's all in order." When will you stop and see? ”

"In a few days!" Shen Muqing said with a smile, "Sister Jingshu is about to give birth, she is the first child, I better accompany her more." ”

Ying Fan nodded and hesitated: "Aunt Chen came to me two days ago and asked me to talk to Grandma Ren." said that she gave birth to a child in the Shen family, and it was best to go to the temple to ask for some talismans, so as not to have a bloody disaster in the Shen family. ”

Shen Muqing frowned: "I know." ”

As soon as she finished speaking, a little maid outside said, "Master Chang is here." ”

Shen Mu straightened his clothes and went to the hall.

Chang Hui's expression was a little unnatural, and he said, "I want to ask Liu Niang to come to the house to help for a few days." ”

"You just have to make up your mind." Shen Muqing said with a smile, and instructed Ying Fan, "The expenses will go from my account." ”

Ying responded, Chang Hui touched his head a little embarrassedly: "I still need some medicinal materials." ”

"You opened a list and let Ying Fan make it up for you!" Shen Muqing didn't ask much, "If you can't even get Yingfen, it's not too late for me to think of a way." ”

Chang Hui agreed, but he was not in a hurry to leave.

This is somewhat inconsistent with Chang Hui's character.

Shen Muqing simply asked, "Brother Chang, what else is going on?" ”

Chang Hui hesitated for a long time and said, "I want to help Yueying wash the marrow and cut the bones......

Shen Muqing jumped up suddenly: "She is not yet three years old. ”

"Medicinal materials are hard to find, and if you want to start, it will take at least half a year." Chang Hui hurriedly explained, "What's more, this is to lay the foundation, if you want to get through the second pulse of the governor and governor, you need at least seven ......."

"You tell me the truth." Shen Muqing's face was like frost, "What is the danger?" ”

"There's no danger, it's just a bit of trouble......"

Just before Chang Hui finished speaking, Shen Muqing said: "You are a bold person, if it weren't for danger, you wouldn't be like this in front of me." Is it that once you start, you can't stop, and the further you go, the more things you need, the greater the risk? ”

Chang Hui looked at Shen Muqing with wide eyes.

That is, I guessed it right.

Thinking that the medicinal materials needed by Chang Hui were becoming more and more valuable, and now she was still recruiting Liuniang to help, she did muttered in her heart.

"Nope." Shen Muqing bluntly refused, "I can't let you treat Yueying as an experiment." ”

"No, no." Chang Hui hurriedly said, "The ancestors of the past generations have done this...... It's just that our generation of families is in decline and has no financial support. Your family is naturally different, and this matter is not dangerous to Yueying. ”

"Then why are you hesitating?" Shen Muqing didn't believe it.

Chang Hui said honestly: "If Yueying is a boy, I can do it alone." Pleasant Shadow ...... I've got to find a helper from my housework. Only Liuniang is the most suitable ......"

Shen Muqing snorted coldly: "But Liuniang doesn't want to!" ”

Chang Hui smiled wryly: "I want to take Yueying to the white paper workshop to show Liuniang...... When she saw it, she would love Yueying. ”

Shen Muqing didn't have such a certainty, she said indifferently: "Let's talk about this later!" ”

Chang Hui had to get up and say goodbye.

Shen Muqing was upset and went to the back garden to watch Yueying.

Yue Ying is making a wreath with a magpie from a tree branch. When she saw her mother, she ran over with a grin.

Shen Muqing held her daughter in her arms and wiped the sweat from her sideburns with a handkerchief: "Is it hot?" ”

Yueying shook her head: "I don't sleep." ”

Shen Muqing laughed.

She often came to the back garden at noon to find Yueying, then took her back to her house and tried to let her take a nap. But her energy is so good, sometimes she falls asleep, Yueying still plays with her fingers there with her eyes open, and after a month, there is no progress at all - children's habits can usually be cultivated in a month. Shen Muqing had no choice but to give up.

She touched her daughter's head and told the magpie, "Be careful of heat stroke." ”

The magpie nodded repeatedly.

Yue Ying ran to the side of the path and picked a small flower for her mother. Shen Muqing took the little flower, Yueying covered her mouth and laughed, turned around and ran into the garden again.

When the magpie saw it, he pulled his skirt and followed.

Shen Muqing instructed Yingfen: "Give the magpie an extra 500 wen every month, and deduct it from my monthly example." ”

Ying Fun smiled and replied "yes".

Shen Muqing smiled and said "goodbye" to his daughter who was playing in the woods and went to the eldest wife.

The eldest lady had just woken up from a nap, and when she saw Shen Muqing coming, she hurriedly asked the hosta to bring her iced lotus seed soup, and the two of them were talking crookedly on the kang with a mat.

“…… The aunt asked Sister Jingshu to go to the temple to ask for a talisman. I just want to come and beg the eldest lady to see if you can come forward to talk to my brother-in-law - after all, I am a member of the Shen family, and I am afraid that they will have a pimple in their hearts. ”

"I'll take care of this!" The eldest lady nodded.

"At the beginning, they stayed in the Shen family to understand the loneliness of the master, and now that you are back, you suddenly ask someone to write a talisman table, and whoever you change is uncomfortable - it's not that they can't afford to buy a house."

Shen Muqing sighed: "My aunt is blind, the old man is old, so I have to let her order." I just hope that she won't go too far and hurt Dashe's face. ”

It is difficult for a Qing official to decide family affairs, let alone a daughter who is married.

The eldest lady smiled and changed the subject: "What about Yueying?" Playing in the garden again? ”

Shen Muqing nodded helplessly and told Chang Hui's intention.

The eldest lady smiled: "Don't worry too much, ask Chang Hui, apart from Liuniang, is there anyone else who is suitable." As long as he can name him, I can get someone. To be honest, I have traveled south and north, and I have seen a lot, and there are more mother-in-laws, and there are more mother-in-laws, so it is better to have them in my own hands. We have this ability, and Yueying has this opportunity, so let her follow Master Chang to learn her skills well, at least she can keep herself! ”

Shen Muqing nodded.

Although feudal etiquette is strict, it also varies from person to person...... There are many ministers in the DPRK who are afraid of their wives!

While the two were talking, the hosta walked over lightly: "Big lady, the osmanthus tree in the backyard is hanging buds." ”

"Oh!" The eldest lady was very happy and asked Shen Muqing: "Do you still make moon cakes by yourself this year?" Do you want me to let a few hostas help pickle a few cans of rose osmanthus candy to make the filling? ”

The eldest lady likes osmanthus, Shen Muqing knows it, and said with a smile: "That relationship is good." My osmanthus stuffing is counting on you. ”

"Hosta, can you hear me!" The eldest lady smiled: "Grandma's osmanthus stuffing is gone, so I'll settle accounts with you." ”

"Grandma's life!" The hosta pretended to be afraid and pulled Shen Muqing's sleeve, "If this year's osmanthus doesn't bloom, then wouldn't I be more wronged than Dou E." ”

"You are the one who said that the osmanthus tree is budding, and you are the one who is worried that it will not bloom." The eldest lady smiled, "Where did you get this flamboyant mouth?" ”

was so troubled by the hosta, everyone laughed.

The eldest lady and Shen Muqing talked about the past: "...... In the past, when my father was there, we were not allowed to like anything, and we were called 'playthings', so when I saw the osmanthus tree that Banpo of the Xiao family specially planted for me, I thought that it would be good to marry into such a family. After getting married, my father-in-law was really good to me. Defend me in everything and help me everywhere. It's a pity that I have no fate with the eldest master, and I suffered two children. A few years ago, I still had resentment in my heart, but in the past few years, when I got older, looking at Yueying and Brother Xing, the things in my heart gradually faded. ”

There was really no sadness between the eyebrows, and it was calm and almost serene.

It's not a good thing that husband and wife turn against each other and finally find their own lives.

"The matter of the Wang family, I told Yun Niang euphemistically," Shen Muqing knew that the eldest lady was most worried about the two children now, "She never replied to me, and she didn't know what to think." ”

The eldest lady smiled faintly: "No matter what she thinks, since the marriage has been decided, she will never make any moves soon." ”

Shen Muqing was slightly stunned.

The eldest lady said bluntly: "Why did she want to marry the Wang family, but she took a fancy to the Wang family's business in Jiangnan, and she would not give up this opportunity to take advantage of the situation until she got what she wanted." ”

"Maybe it's not as complicated as you think!" Shen Muqing comforted the eldest lady with some insincerity, "Speaking of which, the Xiao and Zheng families also have their own strengths, and they don't have to borrow the power of the Wang family." Maybe it's because of the character of the fourth prince. ”

The eldest lady smiled slightly, did not respond to Shen Muqing's words, but called the hosta: "I went and invited Master Chang to come." ”

Shen Muqing was slightly stunned.

The eldest lady smiled: "My son is my mother's heart." Ziyang, you take it personally, and you will change your home again in a few days, and you will be busy inside and out. If you don't do well, you'll be upset - beware of falling ill! ”

Shen Muqing couldn't help but shake the eldest lady's hand: "You still really feel sorry for me!" ”

"Oh!" The eldest lady's eyes showed teasing, "Only I love you?" Who said that the melons and fruits in Kyoto are not fresh, and someone sent melons from Gansu in a hurry for 600 miles! ”

Shen Muqing's face was slightly red, and he said stiffly: "It was given to the emperor, and I brought a few baskets back by the way!" ”

The eldest lady laughed, and her eyes fell on Shen Muqing's feet.

It was a pair of straw sandals woven with blue grass, soft and cool, exquisite and delicate, which Xiao Sa specially brought back from Gansu. still joked in the letter, fortunately there are a pair of big feet, otherwise, even if the straw sandals are cool, it is useless.

Shen Muqing couldn't help but shrink his feet and wanted to hide it in his skirt.

"Good boy," said the eldest lady, who smiled into a crescent moon, "you can do this, I am too late to be happy!" ”

If it weren't for the "adoptive", the eldest lady would really be a good mother-in-law.

Thinking of this, Shen Muqing let out a long sigh in his heart, a little excited. Just a little maid came in with a nervous look and said, "Big lady, Sister Bauhinia over there from Grandma Ren came over and said that Grandma Ren had a seizure, please ask the eldest lady and grandma to come over and take a look." ”
