Chapter 144: The Dust Has Settled

"Back to Elephant Mountain?" Shen Muqing was stunned, "Aren't you buried in Taicang's hometown?" How is Elephant Mountain? ”

"Your uncle and aunt are long gone, and you only have a distant nephew under your name. Your cousin is a loyal man who takes good care of the tombs of your grandfather, grandmother, and uncle and aunt... Back then, my wife once jokingly said that she wanted to be buried in your house in Xiangshan after she died..."Shen Zhen's voice gradually lowered, "I didn't understand it at the time, but now I know it's too late... She's not uncommon for incense..."

How can there be no resentment?

Shen Muqing couldn't help but pull Shen Zhen's sleeve: "Okay, okay, don't be sad." After a hundred years, you will also be buried in Xiangshan. During the New Year's holidays, I will go to Xiangshan to burn paper money for you and your wife. ”

Shen Zhen naturally didn't believe it, but he liked his daughter's tolerance of his shocking behavior.

"When the time comes, we will go to Mt. Zo by water, and then return to Kyoto by land." Shen Zhen smiled, "You can also take a recourse to Shandong." Back then, I used to be the chief secretary there, the spring water in Shandong was very good, and I also opened a canal, and a few old subordinates were there... If you don't think it's fun, let's go to Jiangsu. Speaking of which, you haven't been back yet. It is the land of fish and rice, Huaiyin has paper-cut New Year paintings, Yangzhou has lacquer jade, and Yixing's purple clay pot..."

Shen Muqing looked at his father's gray hair, listening to his travel plans, and the corners of his eyes were slightly wet.

Whether it is reconciliation or righteousness, it is the woman who is really discussed by public opinion.

Shen Zhen took himself to Jiangnan to avoid these gossips, right?

"Okay," she looked at Shen Zhen with a smile, "Let's send my wife back to Xiangshan!" ”

After sending Shen Zhen away, Ying Fan came in and said, "Grandma, Liu Niang wants to see you!" ”

"Liuniang?" Shen Muqing was very strange.

Since Chang Hui took two hundred taels of silver from her on that occasion, she has never appeared again. She was also in no mood to pay attention to her own affairs, so she didn't know if Liuniang's illness was cured.

However, if she can come to see herself, she must have improved.

Shen Muqing thought about it and instructed Yingfen: "Let Liu Niang come in!" ”

Ying Fan answered the call and soon walked in with a scrawny woman.

Shen Muqing looked at the woman's sallow face and high convex forehead, and said in surprise: "Sixth Niang? ”

The woman curtsied to her with Ying Fan: "It's Liu Niang." Please give the third young grandmother a hello! ”

Shen Muqing hurriedly instructed the maid to move the Taishi chair over and serve tea and snacks.

Although Liuniang has a haggard face, she does not change her bold nature. Generously sat on the Taishi's chair, took the maid's tea and thanked him, and then took a sip politely.

"I only recently found out that Lord Shen had an accident, and I went to Houfu, and the people in Houfu said that you went back to your mother's house..." ”

Shen Muqing looked at the coarse cloth bag and sighed softly.

She asked Ying Fan to return the small bag to Liuniang: "It's not time for the family to reach this step yet!" ”

"I know," Liu Niang smiled faintly, "this is a little bit of our heart." ”

Shen Muqing resolutely refused: "When I need it in the future, I will speak to Liuniang." ”

Liu Niang insisted on giving - looking like she wanted to draw a line with her.

"Liuniang, what are you worried about?" Shen Muqing couldn't help but ask.

Liuniang's body stiffened, and her eyes were full of bitterness: "I'm afraid that we won't be able to repay this kindness when the time comes!" ”

Shen Muqing couldn't help but burst into tears.

She felt sour and Chu in her heart, and instructed Yingfen: "Chang Hui borrowed a total of two hundred and five taels of silver in my hand to set up a note for Liuniang." Write it clearly, three cents of profit a year, ten years to pay off. ”

Ying pouted, glared at Liuniang with an ignorant gaze, and then curted his knees and answered "yes", and went down with Liuniang with the usual eyes.

Ning Bi, who was serving on the side, explained to Shen Muqing in a low voice: "Auntie, don't worry. This debt is bigger than the sky. Liuniang is a backbone, so she will be like this. ”

"I know!" Shen Muqing smiled and sighed, "That's why I asked Ying Fan to make a note for her." ”

The next day, Mr. Ouyang successfully got the book of harmony.

Looking at the book with several bright red seals, Shen Zhen let out a long sigh.

Shen Muqing grabbed his father's arm and said in a low voice, "I'm sorry! Worry about you! ”

"Forget it!" Shen Zhen cheered up and smiled, "This is fate!" ”

Shen Muqing saw that Shen Zhen cheered up, and felt a little better in his heart. smiled: "Master, I made my favorite toon egg cake today... I'll call Mr. Ouyang and have a drink with you!" ”

Shen Zhen nodded and said to Mr. Ouyang with a smile: "There will not be many days like this in the future!" ”

Mr. Ouyang was a little ashamed, and bowed his hand to Shen Zhen: "Thank you, master, for your etiquette." ”

Shen Zhen waved his hand: "What are you talking about!" You and I are better than brothers..."

Saying this, the eyes of both of them moistened a little.

Shen Muqing led the maids out and went to the kitchen to help with the whole table.

She had just put the white chopped chicken on a plate, and Aunt Chen walked in crying.

"Auntie, why didn't you tell me about such a big thing?" She looked sad, "How will you live in the future?" ”

Shen Muqing looked at her howling but no tears remained, and said with a smile: "What's so bad about this, I have a yard in the white paper workshop and two shops." ”

Aunt Chen cautiously probed: "Grandma is going to live in the white paper workshop?" ”

Shen Muqing nodded.

"How's that going to work!" Aunt Chen immediately said, "You are a single woman, guarding a big yard alone, what kind of three long and two short things do you have to have, how can I explain to my wife!" ”

Shen Muqing was a little funny, but there was a grateful look on his face, "Thank you aunt for your concern!" I can't live at home, right? ”

"Just stay at home!" Aunt Chen's expression was sincere, and she picked up a handkerchief to wipe the corners of her eyes, "How can there be an aunt who has returned home who lives outside, and she should live at home!" ”

The corners of Shen Muqing's mouth curled.

She hit the snake on her upper body and said with a smile: "Since this is the case, then you are welcome, listen to Yuxuan, just make me a yard!" ”

"As long as my aunt can look at it!" Aunt Chen was unprecedentedly happy, "I heard that the people of the Liang family will send my aunt's dowry back at night, do you want me to help take inventory?" ”

Shen Muqing smiled: "Okay! ”

In the evening, the Liang family sent back Shen Muqing's dowry and companion things according to the dowry list.

Shen Muqing entrusted Aunt Chen to take Luomei and Zhuji to count things.

When she turned to point porcelain, Luo Mei took a blue-glazed Guanyin bottle and said, "Hey, what's wrong with this bottle!" The dowry list is clearly written as a pair of blue glazed Guanyin bottles in the kiln, how did it become a pair of blue glazed Guanyin bottles in the official kiln. ”

When Aunt Chen heard this, she immediately walked over: "Show me, show me!" ”

The second manager and Dong's mother sent by the Liang family to deliver things. When the two heard this, their faces changed greatly, and they also walked over quickly.

Luo Mei carefully handed the Guanyin bottle to Aunt Chen, but Aunt Chen did not take it, but beckoned to Luo Mei, the second manager and Mother Dong: "Everyone come with me." ”

The four of them went to the flower hall on the side, and the people who helped unload the cage all stood in place, all looking frightened.

After a while, Aunt Chen reprimanded in a loud voice in the flower hall: "I said, why is the Liang family so kind, and they sent the dowry back after dusk, it turned out that they changed all the things of our aunt and grandmother's dowry... Either you hand over the things to me, or go with me to the Shuntian Mansion, which is worth four hundred taels of silver. ”

The little maid's mother outside the flower hall changed her face even more when she heard this, you look at me, I look at you, and I can't say a word.

This thing was given by the second manager and Dong's mother, and it was indeed ordered by the Feng family.

The two looked at each other, and both saw fear in each other's eyes.

After all, the second manager is a man and well-informed. He quickly calmed down and pulled Dong's mother aside to discuss.

"You're holding steady here. I'll go find the eldest young master. ”

Dong's mother didn't have a better idea. But thinking of the mallets that the little maids of the Shen family hit him that day, he said coldly, "I'll go find the eldest young master, I'm a woman's family, I'm afraid I won't be able to control this scene." ”

The second manager thought for a moment and nodded: "It's okay." I'm here, you go find the eldest young master, be quick! Otherwise, the three thousand taels of silver from the eldest young grandmother were given in vain. ”

The third young grandmother and the third young master reconciled, and the Liang family lost three thousand taels of silver to the Shen family, which is known to the whole house, because the three thousand taels of silver were taken out by the eldest young master and the eldest young grandmother.

Mother Dong thought of the resentful eyes of the young grandmother at that time, and her body trembled.

By the time Liang Bogong arrived, it was already the beginning of the day.

Aunt Chen sat in the flower hall and looked coldly at the servants of the Liang family standing under the eaves.

Liang Bogong saw the young woman in the brightly lit flower hall, stood still in front of the hanging flower door, arched his hand from a distance, and said, "It's all because the person who collects the cage is not careful, and he took it wrong." We'll pull the things back and send them over when they're ready. ”

Aunt Chen snorted softly - in the silence of the night, her tone was disdainful and Liang Bogong heard it clearly.

I don't know why, he thought of the first time he went to Wang Wenhui's house, and the low laughter of the eldest brother and concubine behind the screen.

Liang Bogong's face was red.

"Forget it!" Shen Muqing's stunned voice came from the shade of the flowers and trees in the east, "Auntie, let's count everything and put it into storage!" ”

"How can this work?" Aunt Chen was stunned, "Although my wife bought things for you according to the young grandmother of the Liang family, everything was more expensive than the young grandmother of the Liang family..."

"Don't talk about it!" Under the moonlight, Liang Bogong only saw a thin shadow, "Young Master, I understand the affairs of the family." I accepted the things, even if I gave the young grandmother a face-I was in the house, and the young grandmother took good care of me. As he spoke, a sixteen or seventeen-year-old girl came out under the shade of the tree, wearing a rose-red armor, with a pair of long eyebrows on her white face, and a little arrogance in her leanness.

She curtsied her knees and saluted Liang Bogong: "Young Master, I am Yingfen by my aunt's side." As he spoke, he opened a box painted with red lacquer and gold, and the multicolored gems shone brightly in the moonlight.

"This is what our aunt gave to the second girl. said, she won't need it in the future, so leave it to the second girl to add a box when she gets married! ”

Liang Bogong looked at the blurred figure, and only felt like a fish in his throat - Liang Jimin, do you know what he has lost?
