Chapter 41: Plunder
Meng Yuxuan paused while pinching the chess pieces. She raised her eyes to look at Shen Chenzhi and said with a light smile: "Shen Gongzi gave me such a high evaluation, I don't dare to take it." Your turn! ”
Shen Chenzhi touched his injured face, and a sad look flashed in his eyes. He threw away the pieces in his hand and said, "Since you have lost, there is no need to play again." Losing is losing, and clinging to a losing game is a waste of time for me or my opponent. ”
"Shen Gongzi cares so much about winning and losing?" Meng Yuxuan chuckled: "In my opinion, the process is much more interesting than the ending. ”
"Madame is an open-minded person, and Shen is too vulgar. Vulgar people value the ending. In my opinion, it is not only the chess game that is lost, but also this sad life. Shen Chenzhi touched his face, and hatred flashed in his always calm eyes.
Meng Yuxuan still remembers how she felt when she first met Shen Chen. It was gloomy, murderous, as if it had just crawled out of the ground, and it was very dangerous. Later, he fell into a coma, and when he woke up, he became the current Shen Chenzhi. I have to say that this kind of Shen Chenzhi is much calmer, like a bachelor who is full of poetry and books, giving people a warm and elegant feeling.
However, she will never forget what she was like when she first met. That terrifying Shen Chenzhi, who was full of danger, was definitely not an ordinary bachelor, but a killing god.
It's better to stay away from such people. Only, can she really stay away? She had seen many men, and she was all too familiar with the predatory ferocity hidden in their eyes. Shen Chenzhi looked at her with eyes that he obviously wanted to forcibly occupy her. So, she brought up the matter of letting him leave after his injury healed again today. I only hope that he will leave soon, return to his own world of flowers, see more beautiful beauties, and be able to forget her little flower blooming in the valley.
"Now that the outcome has been decided, let's end this game!" Meng Yuxuan said to Shangguan Xi next to her: "Xi'er, are you playing chess with Uncle Shen or reading books by yourself?" ”
"Can I accompany Uncle Shen to read? Uncle Shen is very interested, Xi'er didn't know it before, and Uncle Shen will be stunned after explaining it. Shangguan Xi looked at Shen Chenzhi with admiration.
"That'll do!" Meng Yuxuan said: "I'll make you a pot of tea." ”
"Mother, can you embroider here?" Shangguan Xi took Meng Yuxuan's hand and said coquettishly: "I want my mother to accompany me, as long as my mother is by my side, I don't think those boring books are so boring." ”
Meng Yuxuan looked at Shen Chenzhi opposite. The latter looked at her tenderly, with a warm smile in his eyes.
Meng Yuxuan thought about it, but still rejected Shangguanxi ruthlessly: "My mother wants to rush the embroidery, so I can't be distracted." I'll be with you when I'm done with this time. ”
"The pastries made by my mother can be sold for silver, why do you still make embroidery? Embroidery is the most time-consuming. Shangguan Xi pouted and said unhappily.
"My mother promised to spend more time with you in the future, but I was in a hurry this time. I will never take on such a rush job again. Meng Yuxuan kissed Shangguan Xi's little face.
Shangguan Xi immediately laughed. He hugged Meng Yuxuan and kissed her on the face.
"Is Madame hiding from me?" Shen Chenzhi leaned back on the bed, and a look flashed in his deep eyes.
Meng Yuxuan stiffened. She pinched her palm, forcing the confusion in her heart.
"What did Shen Gongzi say? Why should I hide from you? Why is this true? Meng Yuxuan said lightly.
"If you weren't hiding from me, why didn't you agree to Xi'er's little request? He reads his books, you embroider your flowers, and you don't disturb each other, so naturally it won't affect your progress. Shen Chenzhi chuckled: "I thought that Shen's appearance was too ugly and frightened his wife, so he didn't want to stay in the same room as Shen." ”
"These words are really strange. Does Shen Gongzi think that I should stay in the same room with you? Men and women are not clear, is it wrong for us to avoid suspicion? Meng Yuxuan countered.
"Men and women are not clear? Madame treats me like a man? Shen Chenzhi touched his face, and his words were mocking.
"Aren't you a man?" Meng Yuxuan was surprised and looked at him. "It turns out that Shen Gongzi actually came out of the palace."
"......" Shen Chenzhi gritted his teeth, glared at Meng Yuxuan angrily, and didn't speak for a long time.
He really wanted to say: Do you want to try if this son is from the palace?
It's a pity that he didn't dare to say such things. If it was in the Shen family, he would definitely imprison her in a luxurious golden house and use some method to make her retract those words.
Now that he was under the fence, he didn't dare to anger her. Otherwise, I am afraid that I will be kicked out immediately. Then you will never see her again.
Shangguan Xi looked at Meng Yuxuan, and then looked at Shen Chenzhi. The child's innocent eyes were full of incomprehension.
"Why are you saying something I don't understand?" Shangguan Xi pulled Meng Yuxuan's sleeve. "Mother, Xi'er won't make any noise about you. Don't quarrel with Uncle Shen. ”
"We didn't quarrel." Meng Yuxuan and Shen Chenzhi finished speaking in unison, and the two glanced at each other.
Ordinary days have to go on. Another half a month has passed since the night attack. In this half month, she received a dividend of 150 taels from the teahouse, and the pastries could be sold for more than a dozen taels of silver a day, and she handed over the bridal dress and earned 200 taels of silver. Meng Yuxuan is not short of silver in her hands now, so there is no need to work so hard.
The last night raid was still over. Zhao Hai was sent to the Yamen, and it is said that he was sentenced to be sent to the army. Xiao Chen was scared and sick, and the doctor said that he had a stroke, and he was afraid that he would not get better in the future. Even if Meng Yuxuan has the intention to rectify her, it is not easy to start now. Maybe this is already God's punishment for her. After all, she has such a daughter-in-law, and she can imagine what kind of life she will live in the rest of her life.
As for Hui'er Niang, Jasmine Chen, and those who can't get used to her, it seems that they have disappeared en masse now. Anyway, Meng Yuxuan rarely saw them in the village.
However, since this incident, other villagers have also taken a detour when they see Meng Yuxuan. Those sour words were gone, and no one dared to touch her moldy head again.
Meng Yuxuan was bored in the village and began to think about other ways out. For example......
"Mother, are you going to buy a house in the city?" In front of the dinner table, Shangguan Xi stopped shaving rice and looked up at her.
Meng Yuxuan looked at those round eyes, and felt more and more like the puppy she had before. She touched his little face and said, "Yes! Your father is not here, we sell pastries for a living, and it is very troublesome to move around all day, so it is better to go to the city and buy a shop, so it will be more convenient. Anyway, I don't have any interaction with the people in the village, so it's boring. ”
"Brother Kuroko is literate with you, what should he do?" Shangguan Xi asked.
"After all, I'm not a regular teacher, and I can't teach him much. When the time comes, tell your grandmother Lin that they should be sent to a private school! Meng Yuxuan thought for a while and said.
"Grandma Lin, they don't have any money to study for Brother Heizi. I don't think they'll let Brother Kuroko study in the future. It's a shame that's a shame. Shangguan Xi sighed like a little adult. Why don't we take Brother Kuroko with us! Brother Kuroko is at stake, and he can also help you with the work. ”
Kuroko is a hard-working child. In the past few days, he has always helped chopping wood and lighting the fire, which has helped Meng Yuxuan a lot. If it weren't for the fear that he would find Shen Chenzhi in the house, he really wanted him to live here all the time, at least he could accompany Shangguanxi.
"What about your Uncle Shen? Yesterday, I saw that his wound was suppurating again, and I am afraid that it will not get better in a short time. When we go to the city, he has to follow. Meng Yuxuan frowned and said.
"Don't you like Uncle Shen? Uncle Shen is very good! Yesterday he was going to go insane, and he told me to hide in advance and asked you to trap him. He won't hurt us. "A child's heart is the simplest. When others were a little nicer to him, he poured out his heart and lungs. However, sometimes a child's intuition is also the most sensitive.
Shen Chenzhi......
There's really no way to take him.
The wound would suppurate, which made her helpless. How can a wound that is often cleaned with space water suppurate? Apparently he did it himself.
Why bother?
Could it be that he was also attracted by her face like those men who went to the Qinglou to seek pleasure?
A piece of skin is worth his painstaking efforts. With his status, there should be a lot to do, right? But......
"Mother, mother......" Shangguan Xi shook Meng Yuxuan's hand. What do you think? Mother, are you thinking about what kind of store to buy? ”
"I'm thinking of a business that is not too tiring and can make money." Meng Yuxuan smiled.
"Let's make pastries!" Shangguan Xi said innocently: "The pastries are delicious, and no one can make them better than those made by my mother." ”
"If it's pastry, I have another idea." Meng Yuxuan said: "I want to open a workshop. Let more people help me make pastries. ”
"What is a workshop?" Shangguan Xi asked.
"We'll talk about that later! But Xi'er is right, anyway, our pastries are already a little famous, so let's sell pastries. Meng Yuxuan said while eating.
"I listen to my mother. So when are we going to see the store? What about Uncle Shen? After Shangguan Xi finished speaking excitedly, he began to worry again. What should I do if my dad can't find us when he comes back? If he can't find me, he'll be worried. ”
"Fool, we just go to the town, and we don't go far away. We're leaving, Grandma Lin is still there, just leave them a message. As for your Uncle Shen, ask him to quietly go to the city to wait for us first, and then come back when we find a good store, and say that he is my distant cousin. Meng Yuxuan came up with an idea.
"How did Uncle Shen get to the city? He was so badly wounded. Shangguan Xi pouted: "Yesterday I saw his wound bleeding!" ”
Meng Yuxuan scolded secretly in her heart: You deserve it.
The wound that had already begun to grow new flesh would suppurate, and it was not his own fault. Now she doesn't know what to do with him. Leave it alone? The tiger has already shown signs of awakening, and now he is taking revenge on himself. That's not the way smart people do. Keep him alone, right? Scold! That's what he's for. That's kind of being put on by him.
