Chapter 140: The United Front
Shen Zhen sighed: "Don't you want to live in the house where Aunt Chen lived?" β
So sensitive!
Shen Muqing sighed in his heart.
That's true.
Through Xianglian's every move, she has vaguely understood that nine times out of ten between Shen Zhen and Aunt Chen there has been a disagreement about herself...... The Li family is no longer there, and Shen Zhen is also old, so it is also a blessing to have Aunt Chen by his side. Don't cause anything unpleasant for yourself!
She thought of those red-faced and white-haired people in modern society - people have paid, and they have to gain something!
Shen Muqing thought about it and explained with a smile: "No. I've been used to living in big houses since I was a kid, and I don't like living in small rooms. β
Shen Zhen thought of the Liang family's gift list when he was married to the Liang family, "There are three main rooms in the Diecui Courtyard, and two rooms are regressed".
He sighed a little helplessly.
"Ji Min's matter, what are you going to do?"
Speaking of topics.
Shen Muqing helped Shen Zhen to sit down on the big kang near the window.
Due to the temporary change of house, the kang here. Before it was burned, she asked Ying Fan to take a black fox fur from her cage box and put it on Shen Zhen's body, and sent the people who served in the house to talk to Shen Zhen in her heart.
"I want to be separated from Liang Jimin, whether it's righteous or not. Or reconcile, in short, I don't want to live like this with this person anymore! β
"What are you talking nonsense?" Shen Zhen is really very. Shocked, "You have to clean up him, I'll help you, but you want to live with him, no!" β
This was expected, Shen Muqing was not surprised or angry, she looked at Shen Zhen softly: "Why not?" β
"You and him don't have ...... though But after all, it was three books and six weeks of worshipping heaven and earth. Shen Zhen asked her with a cold expression, "Separated, how will you live in the future?" A better family has scruples and will not marry the Liang family...... Lower cousin. When it comes to the last sentence, it is already a sigh, "Even if someone is willing, they can only fill the house, and when the time comes, stepsons, stepdaughters, wives, and concubines, I am afraid that it will be even more unbearable than now...... You might as well stay in the Liang family like this. Shen Zhen's voice gradually lowered, "The people who are a little worse are either not children with outstanding character, or they have other plans...... I don't want you to suffer this...... Mu Qing, I won't harm you. You just listen to me, stay at home for a few days, relax, and when Liang Jimin comes to pick you up, you will give him a step and follow him back. After receiving this lesson, he should be more prudent in his future actions...... After all, he is still young, and in a few years, he will know the severity, and it will be fine......"
Shen Muqing leaned on the kang table, supported his elbows and cheeks, and his pink nails were like peaches. Blooming like a flower on the snow-white cheeks.
"Master, you said, out. With such a thing, does Liang Jimin have any future? β
Shen Zhen was stunned, and then understood what his daughter meant.
He glanced at Shen Muqing: "Don't think crookedly...... Mrs. wasn't prepared for much of what he could do! There was a bit of resentment in his tone.
"However, I don't want to live with such a person for the rest of my life!" Shen Muqing looked at Shen Zhen with tears in his eyes, "This is the same as if you don't want to waste another six years of time in Long'an Mansion." β
Shen Zhen's body was shocked. Hesitantly, "Yes, my wife told you?" β
Shen Muqing nodded: "...... That year, the old man was demoted to Long'an Mansion in Sichuan as a county magistrate. The county order is your same year Wang Shan, who is timid and fearful, greedy and loves money, but narrow-minded. The master has been under him for six years, and the master has done the work, and the credit is his gain, not to mention, he also wears small shoes for the master from time to time...... If it weren't for the old man's envoy who instigated him to encircle and suppress the Miao bandits and die in the line of duty, I'm afraid that the old man would still be a county magistrate in Long'an Mansion now!
That Liang Jimin is like Wang Shan to me. When I was prosperous and wealthy, I was his wife, and I undertook my obligations to fulfill my responsibilities, but when I lived and died, I was a bystander, and life and death were ...... fate" Then she told Shen Zhen that there was a strange maid peeping at her on the wedding night, and how she accidentally found Liang Jimin's treasured fan cover, and later she pretended to fall into the water to test the feelings between the two and Liang Jimin's protection of Feng Wanqing today, etc., some exaggerations told Shen Zhen one by one. "You say, can I count on such a person? I'm afraid that I will end up with the same fate as Wang Wenhui. I'm only fourteen years old, sir! In the winter moon, Princess Furong is only six years older than me...... When my wife died, we didn't think about it...... Life is too short, I don't want to waste time on Liang Jimin, I want to live a few days of my favorite days! β
Liang Jimin's shelter of Feng Wanqing is the best choice in the eyes of Mr. Ouyang, Mr. Min and Yuan Yu...... But now that Shen Muqing said this, Shen Zhen's thoughts are a little different.
Impotence, weakness, unrighteousness...... There are no brains yet. Mu Qing followed him, not to mention the future, even whether he could keep the life of an idler like this now is probably a question......
He pondered for a long time and said in a low voice, "But...... No children, you are old, what to do? β
The tone has loosened a little.
Shen Muqing was overjoyed.
She moved over and sat next to Shen Zhen, and put her head on Shen Zhen's shoulder: "Isn't there still a big house?" Don't forget, I'm a rich aunt. When the time comes, the red envelopes will be generously distributed on the New Year's Day, which can not only keep the money from flowing out, but also win the favor of the juniors, isn't it a matter of counting in one fell swoop! Don't worry about me. β
Shen Zhen is not as optimistic as his daughter.
He couldn't help but have a look of bitterness on his face, and gently touched Shen Muqing's head: "You kid!" β
That's a promise!
Shen Muqing grinned.
Shen Zhen looked at her and sighed.
Such a strategy and courage, but she is a daughter!
He hesitated for a moment, then asked her tentatively, "Then what are you going to do?" β
Shen Muqing's expression was serious, and he said slowly: "I think this matter will eventually be discussed with Liang Yuan." If the Liang family reacts quickly, they will send someone to deliver a letter to Liang Yuan tonight, and Liang Yuan will get the news around the twentieth day of the first month. According to you, this Liang Yuan is shrewd and capable, and he is quite strategic, and he will definitely be able to see the stakes in this. Not to mention anything else, just offending the close ministers of the Son of Heaven can put him, a 'general' outside, in a predicament anytime and anywhere. So he will definitely not agree to me and Liang Jimin separate. We have to hit this time difference. The first is to think of asking Liang Jimin to carry Feng Wanqing into the door before the twentieth day of the first lunar month, and the second is to find a way to spread the matter...... Of course, you have to take a concubine first, and then make the situation bigger...... In this way......"
Shen Zhen smiled in his eyes and said, "In this way, by the time Liang Yuan reacts, the wood will be completed." Then we can settle for the next best thing, and make and leave. Not only can you not offend the Liang family and the Feng family, but you can also achieve your goal......"
Shen Muqing also smiled: "The dowry given to me by my wife, I transferred to the white paper shop early in the morning, and also opened a tea shop nearby, although it didn't make money, but it didn't lose money, and I also managed the expenses of Zhou Bing's family." So when I left, I wasn't going to take those things back. β
Shen Zhen was first surprised, and then laughed: "Yes, when the time comes, let everyone in Kyoto see how his Liang family bullies people." β
"That's exactly what it means!" Shen Muqing smiled sheepishly, "When the time comes, I will go back to live in the White Paper Workshop." No more getting up before dawn, no more thinking about coming back to see the master and asking for someone to agree...... If you are tired of living in Pine Alley, you can also go to my place to relax......"
"No, if you want to live, just live at home." Before Shen Muqing's words could speak, Shen Zhen had resolutely objected, "It's too unsafe for you to live alone in a big yard with a girl's family...... And there is no one in charge at home, if you really don't want to stay in the Liang family, come back and live! Just helping the housekeeper! β
"Master, then you agree with me?" Shen Muqing looked at Shen Zhen with a smile and begged him for a promise.
Her long eyelashes flickered, and her inky eyes sparkled like jewels, shimmering with wit and playfulness.
Shen Zhen suddenly thought of when the Li family was still alive.
Whenever he returned to the court, his daughter would bow to her, then tilt her head to look at him, and ask him playfully, "The master has gone down......
It was as if time had never passed, but when you looked at it, it was all around you.
Shen Zhen turned his face sideways: "I regret it so much......" There was a thick nasal voice in his voice.
What do you regret?
Do you regret marrying Liang Jimin? Or do you regret not paying attention to your family sooner? Do you still regret that you only know how to cherish it after you lose it?
Shen Muqing didn't want to think about it anymore - she was afraid that her tears would fall......
Since that day, Shen Muqing has stayed in Tingyuxuan with peace of mind.
Every morning, although she still gets up, she can have breakfast in Tingyuxuan, and then go for a walk in the yard. When she first went to the main house to greet Shen Zhen, Shen Zhen usually left her to speak, or the father and daughter read a book together and wrote two pairs of words. Lunch at the beginning of the last hour. After lunch, Shen Muqing went back to Tingyuxuan to take a nap, and in the afternoon, he either went to see Shen Zhen, or instructed the maid's mother at home to clean up Tingyuxuan, and occasionally went to see Dashe. In the evening, each eats in their own yards. After eating, Ying Fan would take Shen Muqing for a walk, eliminate food, and then come back to read a book on the warm kang, or do needlework with the maids, and go to bed.
After a few days, Shen Muqing's face was like a pear blossom, and his lips were like red lotus, and he was ten points more energetic than when he just came back.
Aunt Chen smiled meaningfully: "It's still the food at home to support people, and my aunt and grandmother are all moisturized." β
Shen Zhen's father and daughter smiled and didn't make a soundβneither of them told her about Shen Muqing's plans.
During the Lantern Festival, Shen Muqing took the maids to tie lanterns and made a lot of things that were not like them. Shen Zhen asked people to hang those so-called "lanterns" on the eaves and treetops to illuminate the yard bright and open. Shen Muqing took the maids to make all kinds of glutinous rice balls, and Dashe looked at it, staring at Shen Muqing from time to time, looking like he wanted to participate.
Shen Muqing beckoned to him, and Da She ran over and called her "sister" flatteringly. Shen Muqing thought of his restraint when Li was there, and his heart suddenly softened, and he told him how to make rice balls. Da She made the corners of his hands and clothes covered with white glutinous rice flour.
(Sister bit, it's still a little late to add more (__) hee hee...... οΌ
