Huang said anxiously: "In the end, my wife has seen the world and has the backbone. When we encountered this incident, we blindly knew that we were panicked, and traveled thousands of miles to ask our uncle and aunt to be the master...... Since I have my wife's words, I will serve our girl and rest first...... It's just that we also have an accompanying Mother Yang guarding the luggage in the inn......"

Dare to answer in front of the master, naturally it is not an ordinary one.

Thinking that this niece dared to go from Jiangnan to Kyoto alone at such a young age, she couldn't help but look at the Huang family carefully.

Only then did Huang realize that he had lost his manners, and stood behind Shen Yuerong with his head bowed with a red face.

Li Shi remained silent, asked the name of the inn, and called a mother surnamed Qi next to him to report to the general manager Wang in the outer courtyard, and asked him to arrange for someone to pick up the luggage. He also instructed Li's mother to clean up the house, take out the new bedding, and adjust the clever maid and capable daughter-in-law to serve in front of Shen Yuerong, and asked the kitchen to prepare the food and drink in the south.

Wang's mother helped Li into the west room, Aunt Chen was busy serving Li on the Nanmu bed, seeing that Li looked tired, she instructed the little maid to bring a cup of water, and Shen Muqing obediently helped Li pinch his shoulder.

Li Shi drank the water, his spirit was better, and said, "But we Mu Qing are starving." Let's set the table! The last sentence was an order from Aunt Chen.

Aunt Chen left in response.

Shen Muqing leaned into Li's ear and asked, "Cousin, what's wrong?" I sounded like I was crying! ”

The Li family and their daughter have always been close, and they are willing to talk to Shen Muqing about some short things in the family.

She took a sip of water and said abruptly: "The wife of the second room will be gone in mid-July." Before the first seven years passed, the second master wrapped five hundred taels of silver to find Yuerong's uncle, wanting to set up the Ren family as the successor. Yuerong's uncle took the money, drew a pledge, and when the second wife's seventy-seven passed, the second master straightened the Ren family. I was in a hurry to tell Yuerong about a family matter, and asked Jina to get married within 100 days, but Yuerong was unwilling, so she secretly ran to Kyoto with her nurse, and wanted the master to come forward to give her a divorce! ”

I didn't expect it to be so!

Shen Muqing was a little stunned.

Yuerong looked soft and weak, but she didn't expect to have such courage, not only to run away from marriage, but also to ask her uncle who was an official in Kyoto, thousands of miles away, to help him solve this thorny problem......

Shen Muqing wanted to express his admiration, but then he thought that people of the older generation like the Li family might not like Shen Yuerong's approach...... Just a soft "um".

Mother Wang said in confusion: "Could it be that the second master didn't come to report because he knew that he had done something impolite...... But I can't hide this even if I want to! ”

Li smiled bitterly: "He has never done a serious thing in his life, which is also expected." It's just that he didn't expect that the second wife would be married to him, and he would not even give this bit of decency. According to Yue Rong, this family business is also unreliable. The other party is a distant nephew of Ren's family, not to mention, his parents are dead, his family has no permanent property, he has only studied in a private school for a few years, and he has taken a group of people to help in the county office...... Isn't this a scoundrel in the market, you say! But I don't know how the Ren family came up with the idea of marrying Yue Rong to such a person......" As he said, Li couldn't help frowning, "Or maybe this is not Ren's idea...... Without the second master's nod, I don't think the Ren family has such courage, after all, she is the wife of Xinfuzheng, and she has to be Zhang Zuoqiao's wife......"

Mother Wang whispered, "Mrs. and I want to go together...... Among the four men and four women in the second room, only one of Yuerong is a concubine. ”

Li Shi was stunned and said, "I forgot about this stubble...... The second uncle is not remembering the second wife's dowry......"

"When the second wife got married, she accompanied the dowry of sixty-four years," Wang's mother said, "that is the acre of land, which is a full 4,000 acres, plus the shops in Hangzhou, this is not a small amount!" ”

When Li Shi heard this, he was silent for a long time and sighed: "Speaking of which, she is six years younger than me...... At that time, he was also a shrewd and tough person who beat the tiger to death, and he couldn't imagine that it would be like this after death, and he couldn't even save his only daughter......" As he spoke, the expression on Li's face became a little solemn.

When Shen Muqing saw it, he thought that the Li family was worried about the affairs of the second master's family, and hurriedly comforted the Li family: "Birth, old age, sickness and death, human nature, the wife should relax her mind, so as not to suffocate her body." ”

Li Shi listened and turned his head to look at Shen Muqing.

Her face was faintly blue, her expression was awe-inspiring, her eyes looked at Shen Muqing directly, and she didn't say a word, making Shen Muqing feel cold in her heart.

"Ma'am, ma'am, what's wrong with you?" Shen Mu Qingqiang smiled and pushed the Li family, wanting to liven up the atmosphere in this childlike way.

Lee's expression softened in her pushing.

Shen Muqing's heart was relieved, and he said with a smile: "Why did my aunt go to pass the rice, and she won't come back this time!" ”

Li replied with an irrelevant sentence: "Princess Zhen'an is about to celebrate her birthday, right?" ”

Shen Muqing has never paid attention to these things, and his eyes fell on Mother Wang.

Mother Wang smiled: "Madame has a really good memory...... The princess is born on November 24. ”

Li nodded, and suddenly Shen Muqing: "When will Aunt Du come back?" ”

Aunt Du's maiden name is a "Han", she was originally one of the best embroiderers in the Shanggong Bureau, and she once served by the side of the Queen Mother. Later, because her eyes were not good, she couldn't do embroidery work, so she was released, and she was homeless, so she begged the Ministry of Internal Affairs to think of which family to be an embroiderer. It happened that Shen Zhen wanted to find an embroidery girl for his daughter, and the Internal Affairs Office recommended her. It is said that the bundle of twenty taels of silver a year will be repaired, plus two sets of clothes for the four seasons, and there will be another reward for the New Year's holidays.

Maybe because Aunt Du is not a female official but an embroidery girl, she is not as stern and cold as everyone thinks, but she is rarely spoken, cautious in words and deeds, without the call of the Li family, she never takes a step out of the house at will, and the mothers and daughters-in-law of the family go to her to walk around, but also lightly, although they are not very good with people, and they do not misunderstand people. He was also very attentive to Shen Muqing's needlework, and taught him carefully and carefully, and in just two years of hard work, Shen Muqing was able to embroider the pillow core alone.

Lee is very satisfied with this. Although she is proud that there is an embroidery girl in the family who has served nobles in the palace, she does not want this embroidery girl to point fingers at home or make a straight face and think that she is really a master...... Therefore, it can be regarded as a pleasure for the guests and hosts.

Two days ago, Aunt Du suddenly took leave from the Li family, saying that a sister who lived in Ci'en Temple was unwell and wanted to go and see it.

Located at the foot of Mt. Minami, an outer castle in Kyoto, Jienji Temple is an imperial temple known as "Yoeido" by the people of Kyoto. Most of the nuns in it are palace maids and female officials who have been powerful in front of the concubines. They are either too old, or the master has passed away, or they are sick and other reasons can not be in the palace on errands, the masters take pity on them, send them to the Temple of Mercy and Grace, and shave the ordination.

She is the younger sister of Aunt Du and lives in the Temple of Mercy and Grace. When Li heard this, he naturally agreed. He was rewarded with twenty taels of silver, given new clothes and ornaments, and sent a carriage boy to accompany him. said that he would be back in three days, counting the days, Aunt Du should be back this afternoon.

Shen Muqing responded with a smile and said "yes".

Li said: "Aunt Du is back, you discuss with her, embroider two handkerchiefs for me, and I am going to send them to Princess Zhen'an on her birthday...... If you don't have the effort, let Aunt Du help you embroider! ”

Zhen'an King Yuan Sheng, the word Xichun, this year is only forty years, hereditary title, is the only king with a different surname in the Great Zhou Dynasty, holding 300,000 male soldiers stationed in Xuantong, 12 years, and Yuan Meng Khan stabbed no less than 100 battles, never lost, known as the first military general of the dynasty, is a hot figure in the Great Zhou. His wife's birthday, not to mention the Shen family, is the queen mother, and she has to go to join in the fun.

Shen Muqing said with a smile: "Don't worry, Mrs., you won't lose face...... It's just that I don't know if the princess has any special preferences, so I have to inquire about it. ”

Li smiled: "It's not necessary, it's always a gift, as long as the thing is outstanding...... By the way, aren't you the best at drawing peonies, just embroider peonies...... Draw your own unique patterns...... The king of flowers, there is no better flower. ”

Shen Muqing understood that this was to quietly praise Mrs. Zhen'an.

A few people were talking, a mother-in-law came in to set up a table, and the mother hurriedly called the little maid to come in to clean the hands of the Shen mother and daughter, and everyone threw away what had just happened for a while and ate a meal quietly.

After the meal, Li did not keep his daughter as his companion as usual, but asked Li's mother to send her back under the pretext that he was a little tired. Shen Muqing thought that the Li family might have to arrange Shen Yuerong's affairs, smiled and curtsied, and did not ask Li's mother to accompany him, and went back to his house with Luomei and Jinxiu.

Anyuan is a courtyard house with five rooms and three hugging houses, and the layout is magnificent. The maul fan of Baoxia was remade this spring, and it is all ten brocade styles popular in Jiangnan. The door is hung with a scarlet silk curtain, the hall is placed with a purple purlin side chiseled silver enamel fishing wood ploughing screen, the purple purlin wood is constantly fenced with the arhat bed, the west room is equipped with a large kang inlaid with nan wood, the bedroom is a black lacquered eight-step bed, there is also a person-high purple purlin seat dressing mirror inside, the kang table is placed with a kiln Ru tea set, a small number of self-striking bells, and all kinds of hanging bottles are hung on the powder wall......

Shen Muqing lay down on the big kang near the window in the west room, and took out the "Leifeng Tower" that was secretly brought in from the outside from the bottom of the drawer of the small table, and watched it with relish.

When Luomei saw it, she covered her mouth and smiled, took out a small quilt from the cabinet with carved copper corners of Nanmu and put it on Shen Muqing's lap, and put the tea fruit on the kang table.

The room was quiet, and the little maids standing on the side were all holding their breath.

Shen Muqing looked at the book, drank tea from time to time, gradually became tired, and fell asleep on the big pillow.
