Chapter 50: A Blessing or a Curse

That evening,.

Li accepted their salute and left Zhou's wife's wife to speak.

Shen Muqing knew that they were going to discuss marriage, so he took this opportunity to retire and went to Jiusizhai.

Shen Zhen had just come back, his face was full of exhaustion, and when he saw his daughter coming, he couldn't help but cheer up a little.

Shen Muqing discussed him: "The jewels in my house are given to Baimu. I will definitely come to kowtow to you when the time comes. I think you might as well give them a wedding date. ”

Shen Zhen quickly understood: "You mean, set the date on November 24, the birthday of Princess Zhen'an. ”

Shen Muqing nodded: "Although it is said that Zhu. Ji and Bainian are both subordinates, but after all, it is a happy event in the family, and when the time comes, if you block it again, maybe your wife will change her mind. ”

Shen Zhen pondered for a moment and felt that this thing was feasible: "I was going to let Lord Liu use my wife's illness as an excuse to let her recuperate at home for a few days, but now it seems that your idea is better." ”

Shen Muqing listened and breathed a sigh of relief.

Shen Zhen felt a little sad: "If you. . . The fourth brother is alive, but I am afraid that he will marry and give birth to a wife a long time ago...... Speaking of which, my wife has always taught her children well, and several children are very obedient, filial, and smart......" said, and there was a flash of crystal in the corner of his eye.

After all, it's a husband and wife, and today both of them thought of that and Baimucha. A child who is not too old but died young.

Shen Zhen lost his father when he was young, lost his son in middle age, and now the Li family is ...... Shen Muqing listened, and tears flowed involuntarily.

Shen Zhen saw Shen Muqing sad and touched her head. An unnatural smile came: "Zhuji is married, are the people in your house enough?" ”

Shen Muqing was in trouble. I also hope that Shen Zhen will not mention similar words again, and now that Shen Zhen has taken the initiative to change the topic, she will naturally try her best to cooperate.

"Enough!" Shen Muqing and Shen Zhen chatted idly, "Mrs. bought me six little maids a few days ago. One of them is named Xianglian, and the aunt was originally the eldest girl in the house, so he gave it to the aunt, and the other five are all in my house! In addition, there are a few original plums, and there are people everywhere, and sometimes they are panicked. ”

Shen Zhen had never chatted with his children, so he seemed a little at a loss, and said dryly, "That's good!" That's good", and there were no words.

Shen Muqing had no choice but to continue to be full of chattering characters: "Zhuji has been in charge of the key to my house, and she is now married to Baimu." I haven't had a housekeeper mother in the house, so I want Zhuji to be my housekeeper mother after she gets married. I told my wife about this, and she couldn't stop laughing, saying, how can there be such a young housekeeper mother. ”

Shen Zhen said with a smile: "Mrs. is right, the mother in charge is still older." ”

As soon as they said this, the two of them gradually talked more, and the atmosphere gradually became warm and harmonious, quite chatting.

Seeing that the atmosphere was good, Shen Muqing gradually pulled the topic to Aunt Du, and told him what he and Liang Youhui had done: "...... Now I am at Liang Youhui's nurse brother, but I feel like I am holding a hot potato in my hand, and I always feel that it is inappropriate! ”

Shen Zhen listened, his brows gradually locked, and his expression became a little solemn.

Shen Muqing thought that Shen Zhen would be furious or reprimand her fiercely, but who knew that Shen Zhen said: "Although you are a little reckless in this matter, you have not lost your heart." I feel that something is wrong, I can consult with my elders in a timely manner, and my ability to deal with crises is also good. Listening to you say that, this matter is indeed a bit strange...... I see it that way. Don't tell Aunt Du for the time being, we'll make plans after I go to the palace to have a look." ”

Not as rough as Shen Muqing imagined, Shen Muqing was a little relieved, feeling closer to Shen Zhen again, and the words from the bottom of his heart were said very smoothly: "Then you have to hurry up." The more day she is in our hands, the more day I worry. ”

Shen Zhen laughed and rubbed her hair: "Now I know I'm afraid!" ”

Shen Muqing sneered.

Shen Zhen saw that she looked like a little girl in front of her, and her heart was also warm, and she suddenly became interested.

"Let's go, let's go to my wife's place - Zhou Bing's family must still be there to discuss marriage with his wife, why wait for Baimu to kowtow to me, set the day now, so as not to have many dreams at night."

Shen Muqing saw that Shen Zhen not only adopted her own suggestions, but also acted resolutely, quite a bit of the feeling that she was valued by her boss in the company before, and people also followed the spirit, she nodded with a smile, and went to the Li family with Shen Zhen.

When there was a shot away from the second gate of the Li family, Shen Muqing suddenly caught a glimpse of a black shadow behind the thick tree next to the second gate.

At this time, the inner courtyard had already fallen into the key, how could anyone hide there.

With a palpitation in her heart, she grabbed Shen Zhen's sleeve tightly, exclaimed, pointed to the black shadow and said, "What is that?" ”

When the water fragrance and wood incense carrying the lantern in front heard it, they immediately surrounded it, and Shen Zhen also held his daughter's hand tightly.

The black shadow trembled and moved out from behind the tree: "Yes, it's me!" ”

Shui Xiang and Mu Xiang raised the lantern, and Shen Muqing saw a childish little face.

"Agarwood, what are you doing here?"

Shen Zhen was also secretly surprised, but looked at Shen Muqing and Agarwood quietly.

Agarwood saw Shen Zhen standing beside Shen Muqing, her legs trembled, and she knelt down: "I, I, I ......"

"I" didn't say a word for a long time.

"Shuixiang, woody, do you see who else is around?" Shen Zhen's voice was as low as water, and it looked gloomy and cold in this silent night.

Shen Muqing knew that Shen Zhen was angry, thinking that at this time, the inner courtyard of the Shen family was locked except for the door leading to the Li family, if he was blamed for peeping, it would not be wronged, and he silently retreated behind Shen Zhen.

Agarwood can serve in Jiusizhai, so he is naturally a clever person, and he also knows something about Shen Zhen, so he understands Shen Zhen's emotions when he listens. So as soon as Shen Zhen's words fell, he immediately knelt down towards Shen Muqing and crawled over: "Girl, girl, I'm here to report to you." ”

Shen Muqing's face was full of consternation: "Report to me?" What letter? ”

As soon as her words fell, Shen Zhen had already raised his foot and kicked Agarwood's heart: "Dog, dare to talk nonsense, beat to death with a stick." ”

Agarwood let out an "oops", clutched his chest and fell to the ground.

Shui Xiang and Mu Xiang listened to the movement here, but they didn't look up or look back, just carrying lanterns around to find someone.

Shen Muqing didn't expect Shen Zhen's reaction to be so big, she was afraid that Shen Zhen would kick Agarwood to death in anger, and she was afraid that Shen Zhen would suspect that she had something to do with Agarwood. After thinking about it for a while, she simply walked over and helped Agarwood: "What's going on here?" ”

Agarwood also knows that if you don't answer well today, I'm afraid you won't be able to pass this hurdle. So he hurriedly said: "Girl, it was Baimu who asked me to report to you." ”

When Shen Zhen heard this, his heart was already turning a thousand times, he hurriedly walked over and squatted beside Agarwood: "What to report?" ”

Agarwood groaned softly before saying, "Just say a word, let me tell the girl that Manager Zhou is going to wait for his marriage to be over before returning to Zhuangzi." ”

Shen Muqing immediately understood.

It must be that Zhuji has already told Baimu what he meant, and Baimu helped ask Mr. Zhou when he returned to Zhuangzi, but he couldn't deliver the news, and he was afraid of delaying the matter, so he let Agarwood, who was just a boy, report the news.

Shen Zhen shouted Shui Xiang and Mu Xiang: "You two are here for me to guard." He also called Shen Muqing: "You come with me." ”

Shen Muqing was nervous in his heart, and followed Shen Zhen to a side room next to the second gate.

It was cold, and the two mothers-in-law who were keeping vigil were sitting by the brazier, talking and laughing, and the room was filled with the smell of roasted sweet potatoes.

Seeing the Shen father and daughter coming in, the two mothers-in-law were so frightened that they were urinating, lying on the ground and kowtowing like pounding garlic: "The master spares his life, the master spares his life, the slave and maid don't dare anymore!" ”

Shen Muqing saw that there were still two jars of wine burning next to the brazier.

Shen Zhen was in no mood to care about this, and his face was gloomy: "Get out of here!" ”

When the two mothers-in-law heard this, they immediately hurriedly climbed out.

Shen Zhen sat on the small pestle next to the brazier, stared at Shen Muqing with his eyes like an eagle, and said in a deep voice: "What's going on?" ”

Shen Muqing didn't dare to hesitate for a moment, and told Shen Zhen about Li's disposition of Jinxiu: "...... Because I asked Mr. Zhou to bring it back to Zhuangzi, I asked Baimu to bring a letter to Mr. Zhou, don't go back to Zhuangzi so early, it's best to delay it for a while, and I can find a suitable person to marry Jinxiu. ”

Shen Zhen's expression was even more gloomy: "The affairs of the family are in the hands of the wife, and the wife naturally has the final say, how can you make private claims, and also point to the steward of the outer courtyard to help you do things...... You've been with your wife for so many years, and you haven't learned anything else, so you learned these tricks! "In the end, it's all about it.

Shen Muqing looked at Shen Zhen quietly, without the slightest intention of evasion, and said lightly: "If I can't even protect the people around me, why should others work for me." ”

Shen Zhen was furious: "Is this home a tiger's den in Longtan?" What do you want people to do for you? ”

Shen Muqing straightened his back, stood there with a cold expression, and did not answer.

For a moment, the room was silent, and only the crackling sound of charcoal burning in the brazier could be heard.

Shen Zhen looked at his daughter in front of him, who was confident and calm, but with a little arrogance on his face, and suddenly felt lightheaded, and the world was spinning.

When did her daughter feel that this home no longer made her feel safe, and she needed to use her own strength to protect her future and future...... Was it when he took a concubine, or when Dashe was born...... If the young daughter has such worries and fears, is the wife also very worried......

He was stunned by the sudden thought.

The faces that he had buried deep in his heart suddenly appeared in front of his eyes...... The lively and lovely Brother Jin, the young and old Brother Qiu, and the noble sister who choked with her last breath in his arms......

He sat down on the pestle in a dejected manner, covered his face with his hands, and buried his head in his lap.

Shen Zhen's reaction made Shen Muqing frightened, considering his age, Shen Muqing hurriedly ran over and knelt beside him: "Master, what's wrong with you?" Isn't there something uncomfortable! ”

Shen Zhen maintained that posture without any reaction.

Shen Muqing's face turned pale instantly, and considering Shen Zhen's age, what if it was a cerebral hemorrhage...... Therefore, he did not dare to move him, and while grabbing his wrist to check his pulse, he shouted loudly for water and wood.

(On the first day it was put on the shelves, I don't know if anyone watched it...... Draw circles with your head down...... However, there are still more additions! ）。.。
