Chapter 7: Old Things
Shen Zhen nodded: "I know this." ”
Li glanced at the people serving in the room and said, "There is a matter that I want to discuss with you." ”
Mother Wang listened, and while giving a look to the person she served, she took the lead and walked out. Shen Muqing also cleverly followed and retreated.
When she went out, she saw the maids and daughters-in-law standing far away in the hall, and was thinking about whether she should stand farther away, and Mother Wang had instructed Orange Xiang: "You accompany the girl to the east wing room to rest, the wind is cold at night, be careful to freeze the girl." ”
Orange Xiang answered and took Shen Muqing to the east wing, while Wang's mother herself stood under the eaves.
Before Shen Muqing's feet entered the door of the east wing, he heard a "clang" sound behind him.
She turned around in astonishment, and saw the big red Luo plywood curtain hanging at the door shaking, and Shen Zhen walked out with an angry face.
Shen Muqing was stunned for a while.
In her memory, Shen Zhen and the Li family had never blushed, it was Aunt Chen's meeting, and it was only after the Li family's consent that Shen Zhen brought people in. What's going on today......
The people in Chaoxi Hall were also stunned, looking at each other, not knowing what was happening, and the atmosphere suddenly became very panicked.
Wang's mother may have heard something, as soon as Shen Zhen came out, she chased Shen Zhen and shouted "Master", but Shen Zhen didn't look at her, and went straight out of the hall. Mother Wang stomped her feet when she looked at the empty hall, turned around and entered the house.
Shen Muqing was stunned for a while before coming back to his senses.
She trotted all the way into the house, and saw that Wang's mother was helping Li to walk towards the parquet bed near the window: "...... Madam, you are not in good health, go to lie down on the kang, sir, I'll take a look. ”
Li's expression was very helpless, he shook his head, and was carried on the kang by Wang's mother.
Shen Muqing saw that the room was empty, and there was no one who served, so he stepped forward and put the pillow behind Li.
When Li saw it, he smiled comfortingly at Shen Muqing, touched her head again, and said to Wang's mother in amazement: "It's been more than ten years...... I always think, after all, they are siblings, although the master doesn't say it, his heart should gradually be relieved. Unexpectedly, he still remembers ......"
Shen Muqing was confused when he heard it.
Mother Wang frowned: "You can't make the master unhappy for this!" ”
Li Shi glanced at Wang's mother with disgust: "Aren't I afraid that he will say that I have a big heart?" Who knows, he holds a grudge more than I do. ”
"You can't blame the master." Wang's mother poured a glass of water for Li's family, "I think that at the beginning, when the old man was demoted, the second master was afraid of being implicated, and he got the letter the day before yesterday, and the next day he invited the elders of the clan to share the ancestral property, and when the old man wanted to use the money, he forced you to give him the land at a low price." Speaking of old things, Wang's mother and Li's expressions were a little unnatural.
Shen Muqing heard these things for the first time.
She stood silently aside.
Li took the water and took a sip.
Mother Wang's voice was a little choked: "Others say that men are iron-hearted." But the second wife is a woman, but her heart is more ruthless than that of a man...... When Brother Yin was sick, he borrowed ten taels of silver from her to see a doctor, but she didn't borrow it...... Otherwise, how could Brother Yin go at such a young age......" Mother Wang wiped her tears with a handkerchief, "Now her house is in a mess, and the lord is unwilling to stand up for her. You go and persuade the master to take care of this matter, don't say it's the master, even in my heart, I can't get over it......"
Li's eyes were also moist: "I don't know where I am." But over the years, the second master's family has been uneasy, and the elders in the clan have a faint meaning of blaming the master, saying that the master has not taken care of the second master regardless of his brotherhood. As the saying goes, it is good, but people are terrible. This time, the second wife died, and the second master didn't even report a letter to us. Those who know, say that we don't know, and those who don't know, say that we don't have these villagers in our eyes for a long time, and forget our ...... Hey, in the past, we just hold grudges, it's useless, it's better to pretend to be generous, forget it. As he spoke, Li's gaze fell on Shen Muqing, who was standing in front of the kang, "I still have to plan for Mu Qing...... She must have a mother's family, although she doesn't expect the Taicang gang to give her a long face, and she can't offend everyone, and when the time comes, she will chew her tongue indiscriminately......"
Mother Wang smiled bitterly: "I'm afraid that the master doesn't think so......"
"Girl, my lord loves you the most......" Li interrupted Wang's mother's words, and said to Shen Muqing with a smile, "The night is cold, his temper has come up, and he doesn't know where to hide and get angry." You take Luomei and Jinxiu to look for it, but don't let the old man suffer the cold. ”
Li is going to break himself up and talk to Wang's mother...... And although Shen Zhen is in an important position and is a lot older, he is indeed a bit like a child in front of the Li family, and he is squeamish...... Several times I coaxed him to be happy......
Shen Muqing responded with a smile, and went out to look for someone with Luomei and Jinxiu.
She first went to the Rongyin Hall where the big house lived, but there was no one; Later, I went to Gongyuan, where Aunt Chen lived, but there was no one; She thought about it for a while, turned around and went to Master Shen's study house Jiusizhai in the outer courtyard.
******
Jiusizhai is a three-room house, surrounded by green bamboo. On the door of the hall is hung a stone blue brocade curtain, and a black lacquer and silver plaque is hung on the horizontal frieze, and the word "Nine Thoughts" is written in cursive. Under the frieze is a purple purlin side wenge wood like ivory carving Yellow List high school champion six screens, in front of the screen is placed a 10,000-character head Peng Ya square table, left and right placed a scarlet carpet cushion of the Taishi chair.
Look east. The plum bamboo orchid falling flower cover is hung with a big red Luo silk curtain, the window is set up with a kang inlaid with nan wood boards, and a black lacquer bookcase is placed against the wall, densely placed with books. In the middle of the room, there is a six-legged western lotus superimposed bookcase, and there are sweet white flowers on the superimposed case, and various colors of juhua flowers are inserted, and the four treasures of the study room are neatly placed on the bookcase.
Looking to the west, the 12-leaf black lacquer open-carved blue gauze cabinet separates the hall from the west, and the fan of the year view is tightly closed.
The little guy who served in Jiusizhai was called Agarwood, only ** years old, and followed behind Shen Muqing: "Girl, the master didn't come!" Or wait! ”
Jiusizhai is not here, so where is it?
ran around three places in one go, and went around most of the Shen family's garden, and Shen Muqing was also a little tired.
She thought of the footstool that was placed in the window warm pavilion in the east room...... I feel that my legs and feet are more sore!
"Since the Li family has the intention to avoid themselves, it is better to go back later!" Shen Muqing thought about it and pushed open the blue yarn cupboard in the east room: "I'll rest here!" As he spoke, he entered the warm pavilion separated by a rosewood openwork fan, relaxed his body and shook himself in the drunken chair in the corner.
In the opposite corner, a human-tall holly tree grows lush, green and lovely, which makes people's mood cheerful.
What a great place to be!
It's no wonder that Shen Zhen likes to spend time here in his spare time.
Agarwood hurriedly took the splendid to make tea.
"But the legs are too short, otherwise, lying like this, rubbing my feet on the footstool, I don't know how comfortable it is!" Shen Muqing sighed, Luomei listened, covered her mouth and smiled: "Girl, wait a minute, I'll find a small pestle and put this rolling foot on it, it can be used." ”
"It's a great idea!" Shen Muqing waved his hand lazily, "Go look for it." ”
Luo Mei looked around the house, but she couldn't find a small pestle of the right height: "I'll go to the small cross-courtyard next to me to have a look." ”
The people living in the small cross courtyard are all the head and face stewards of the Shen family, and it is not complicated. Shen Muqing agreed, and Luomei left. When there was no one in the house, Shen Muqing regretted it a little, seeing that it was not early, it was Luomei who found a suitable height to come, and she was going back to Chaoxi Hall. The best thing to do is to carry the footstool to your own room, or to have the stewards buy one for you......
While she was thinking there, she heard the sound of the curtain being lifted in the hall, as if someone had come in.
The footsteps were heavy, not like just one person...... It's definitely not a plum blossom or an agarwood splendor.
Shen Muqing was thinking about it, and the person who came said in a deep voice: "Close the door, no one is allowed to come in." ”
She could hear it clearly, it was Shen Zhen's voice.
I searched for a long time, and finally found someone......
Shen Muqing sat up with some surprise and wanted to say hello, but heard Shen Zhen speak again: "Whoever dares to approach, give me a stick to death." His always clear and gentle voice actually carried a few murderous aura.
As the boys replied in panic, the door squeaked shut.
Shen Muqing was stunned.
Shen Zhen has always been amiable in front of her...... This kind of tone of speech, Shen Muqing heard it for the first time.
A strange feeling rose in her heart.
At this moment, a low and slightly lazy voice sounded in the room: "So it seems that things are as we expected?" ”
This unique voice has been listened to by Shen Muqing for five years and is also very familiar.
It was Mr. Min's voice.
When did these two people come together? Listening to this tone, it is clear that there is something unknown to discuss...... It's no wonder that the two usually call each other brothers...... Don't look at indecent acts, don't listen to indecent people...... Do you want to go out or not?
Shen Muqing hesitated, and then heard Shen Zhen say: "In order to prevent the news from leaking, the Queen Mother did not let the imperial doctor of the Tai Hospital see the patient, and secretly recruited the doctor into the palace......" As the voice of the voice gradually approached, Shen Muqing saw two blurred figures walking to the bookcase in the house through the gap between the fans of the warm pavilion, "Don't Mountain, let's sit down and talk......" As he spoke, Mr. Min arched his hand towards Shen Zhen, and the two sat down separately.
Everyone loves gossip, not to mention the secrets of the royal family.
It's just a few words, and Shen Muqing is already very interested.
She listened with bated breath.
