Chapter 120: Worry and Fear
Ren Xiang is a human spirit, and nodded again and again: "This matter has to be considered in the long run!" β
Mother Wang glared at Xiao Sa fiercely and pulled Shen Muqing aside.
"I think this Xiao Qi is not a good person, aunt and grandmother should be careful."
Shen Muqing thought of what Li said in the carriage that day, "You don't have to show your face in the future......
Different living environments will lead to different ways of behaving.
She didn't want to challenge this rule that had been around for thousands of years, but she hid too many secrets in her heart, such as Liang Jimin, such as the plan that she had repeatedly deduced in her heart...... No one can say it, and they have to try their best to cover it up...... This kind of burden makes her nervous, worried, scared, and anxious from time to time...... Emotions!
Xiao Sa is like an accident in her life. Another window was opened for her, and a cool wind blew into her backwater-like life. His flying, his arrogance, and his uninhibition made her understand that there were really people living like this...... However, after all these emotions, she will rationally return to her original life track, what to do, what to say, what to say. But when she was angry, confused, unwilling or hesitant, she couldn't help but push open the window, take a breath of fresh air outside the window, and fantasize about whether I should be so reckless again, and then, her behavior gradually deviated......
Isn't this rebellion coming at the wrong time?
She smiled bitterly: "Mom, don't worry, I'm measured." β
How could Mother Wang rest assured.
She couldn't help but complain: "This fourth girl is really harmful." If it weren't for her, why wouldn't I just let this Xiao Qi and Ren Xiang in...... If my wife knew about this, how could she get it! β
Yes, if the Li family knew, maybe something would happen!
Shen Muqing was excited, and the expression on his face gradually became solemn.
Xiao Sa smiled, listening to Ren Xiang a little absentmindedly as he told him how he mobilized people to find Shen Yuerong near Taicang, but the corners of his eyes couldn't help but drift to Shen Muqing's body.
She stood beside the lattice of the newly pasted lattice paper, and the light fell on her face with a jade-like whiteness, giving her face a kind of serenity that made people's hearts slowly settle down.
There was a faint joy between the corners of his mouth and his eyebrows.
No one has ever expressed his joys and sorrows in front of them so freely as she did, and no one has ever faced his ridicule, ridicule, arrogance and violence as calmly as she did...... Sometimes they tolerate him like a naughty child, and sometimes they tease him like a playmate...... No one had ever treated him like her.
When he passed on to the fourth uncle, his mother already knew that his father had given birth to the eldest son before her, and the second son was only two months away from him...... When I arrived at the fourth uncle's house, the fourth wife was just pregnant at that time, and she always shouted that she would definitely give birth to a son, why did she want to pass the son of the old family to their house...... When his younger brother was born, he was sent back to his hometown in Lincheng to live with his grandfather.
In his memory, his grandfather's room full of rosewood furniture was always filled with the choking smell of Kanto smoke, the occasional light that shone in was never bright but gray, and his aunt and mother always had a happy smile on their facesβhe always wondered how anyone could never be happy or sad. Unlike him, when he looked up at the boxy sky every day, he felt a suffocating smell, which made him feel irritable in his heart...... Want to jump on the roof and see what the outside world is like from a high vantage point!
Later, when he grew up, the uncles of the older generation looked at him with schadenfreude and gloating, the aunts looked at him with pity and a little anger, and the nephews of the next generation looked at him with curiosity and a little temptation...... No one had ever smiled at him. No, there were, and Pomegranate, who used to serve him by his side, used to smile sweetly at him, spit out the halva he stuffed into her mouth, and said "I don't like sweets" in annoyance, and threatened to beat him with a board when he was not doing his homework...... This man, who had given her a headache and was helpless, suddenly hugged him tightly one day, and begged him with great sorrow: "I am dead, you burn me to ashes, and scatter it under the pomegranate tree in the corner of the back of the house." β
He still remembered that he pushed away the pomegranate and jumped anxiously: "You give me back my sword, otherwise when you die, I will have people throw you to the mass grave outside the city, so that you have no incense, become a lonely ghost, and cannot be reincarnated." β
The sword in his mouth was the Taoist priest of Sanqingguan who asked the little guy to help him steal a peach wood sword when he was catching ghosts at his house - at that time, he didn't want to study, he wanted to be a hero in the book, carrying a sword on his back, walking in all directions, and fighting unevenly.
Pomegranate didn't say anything at the time, touched his head, and sighed faintly.
That night, Pomegranate swallowed gold and committed suicide.
Her grandfather ordered her to be buried in a mass grave - she had bought her into the house for two taels of silver, and she was not born to a family, nor did she say anything about her family.
He hugged Pomegranate's corpse and didn't let anyone drag it away.
Grandfather sighed at the time, and the person next to him said, "Leave him alone, it'll be fine in two days." β
No one dared to disobey his grandfather's words, and neither did he.
He knew that his grandfather's words could make pomegranates
Spread it at home for two days.
He fetched firewood, poured oil on it, and set it on fire.
The flames soared into the sky, waking everyone in the family up.
Everyone was scurrying around in their clothes.
Grandfather's face turned pale, and he raised his hand and gave him a slap.
"What do you want to do?"
He watched as the flames rolled the pomegranate in, and watched as she curled and emitted a pungent smell......
But he endured it and stood there watching.
In the old house, only my grandfather and him lived...... He didn't dare to ask why the pomegranate would swallow it to kill himself.
So when his grandfather slapped him in the face, he burst out laughing.
He smiled and said to his grandfather, "I will sprinkle her ashes under the pomegranate tree." β
The grandfather looked at him as if he were looking at a madman, and the eldest lady screamed and pounced.
From then on, the subordinates pointed behind his back, and the uncle of the family saw him with a wary look...... But he didn't feel sad, because he found that no one dared to say "no" to him anymore.
Then the eldest lady transferred her roommate, Pang Debao, from far away Guangdong, and began to serve him closely.
Pound waited for him with all his heart, treating him as if he were a true master, and would accompany him in a daze at the charred and dead pomegranate tree. But he is not satisfied, but often feels restless, wants someone to be like a pomegranate, says "no" to him when he doesn't want to, and says "yes" to him when he likes it...... And not let him guess......
Just like Shen Muqing...... No matter what he is, she believes that she will not hurt him...... will exude a bodhisattva-like quiet demeanor to him...... If she was happy, her eyes would twinkle like stars when she looked at him...... It was an expression she had never shown in front of others, only for him, only for him, so that he always had a mysterious joy after seeing the secret, and the joy of seeing the essence through the appearance......
Xiao Sa paid attention to Shen Muqing wholeheartedly, saw her frowning slightly, saw her cheeks flushed, and saw her smile helplessly...... The smile on his lips stiffened...... There was a bitter astringency in my heart.
Mother Wang, are you teaching her a lesson?
Mu Qing, who is like a proud girl in the sky, was taught a lesson by a mother because of herself......
His heart suddenly turned over like a sea of uncomfortable!
I just want to ...... I want to see the smile in my eyes, I want to see the cheeks that are as delicate as the peach blossoms in March, and I want to see the long eyelashes that flutter like butterfly wings...... But let her be humiliated like this......
Xiao Sa's hands were clenched tightly, and his fingertips turned white.
But he didn't know anything.
The four of them stood back together.
Xiao Sa's face is still so hearty, and his demeanor is still so calm, but Shen Muqing can feel a kind of loneliness and decadence emanating from him...... Like a bright oil lamp, it gradually burns out.
She couldn't help but be secretly amazed.
What did Ren Xiang talk to Xiao Sa about, which would make him look like he was hit hard?
Wang's mother was very happy.
This Xiao Qi is still a little eye-catching. Seeing that he pulled his aunt and grandmother aside, there were a lot of them.
Ren Xiang's eyes flickered, warm and sassy for a while, and warm and quiet for a while.
"Ren Gongzi, if something like this happens to my cousin, I want to hear your thoughts?"
Shen Muqing's expression was calm, and he asked Ren Xiang calmly.
Ren Xiang was named, and he looked slightly unhappy.
"If you have anything to say, just say it!" Xiao Sa's expression was gloomy, like the weather before a storm, faintly with a frenzy that was about to erupt, which made people's hearts palpitate, "This matter has been publicized, the Shen family is certainly a big ugly thing, but for you, I'm afraid it's not so glorious, right?" β
Ren Xiang wanted to speak and stopped.
Xiao Sa was already impatient: "Ren Xiang, don't you believe it, I have a way to make you unable to open your mouth?" β
Ren Xiang smiled bitterly, but replied very convincingly: "I believe it." β
Shen Muqing couldn't help but look at this person in surprise.
It's just that they have lived together for a few days, and they have figured out each other's details?
"There is a piece of land in Miss Shen's marriage, in Taicang West Bridge, only against Shitangrou." Ren Xiang said thoughtfully, "If you can get that piece of land, you can build a wharf next to the stone pond, and when the time comes, all ships that pass through Taicang will have to dock at the wharf, and in time, I will be able to teach the people of the Chongming Gang a level." β
Good thing it's for the money!
Shen Muqing stopped but breathed a sigh of relief.
Mother Wang couldn't help muttering, "It's just for such a piece of land...... Ren Gongzi also worked harder! There was a hint of sarcasm in his tone.
"Mom doesn't know" The two women in Ren Xiang's room seemed to be puzzled by their behavior, and couldn't help but defend: "I also proposed that land like the fourth girl, but no matter how much money I pay, the fourth girl will not sell it." Not only that, but when she knew my plan and was ready to sell that piece of land to the people of the Chongming Gang, I had no choice. That's why ......"
