Chapter 63: Pairs in Pairs

The county lord of Pingnan nodded lightly, turned around and chuckled: "The old lady is right, I am indeed tired; Another day, I'll invite my sister and sister in the house to get together. After saying that, he took the maid's shoulders and went out.

She naturally understood the meaning of Shen Laozu's words: It's just that the phoenix that has fallen 'hair' is not as good as a chicken, and she, the lord of Pingnan, the Shen family may not take her in their eyes. She sighed slightly in her heart: If she was really the proud daughter of the sky, she would not insist on entering the Shen Mansion, so she could only swallow this breath in addition to swallowing it.

This grievance and bitterness cannot be humane: because she brought it on herself. Lord Pingnan understands very well, so she can only endure it alive, and she has to put a smile on her face.

Finally sent the county lord of Pingnan to the East Courtyard. The county lord of Pingnan asked people to take out the prepared gifts and "reward" them to everyone in the Shen family: each of the serious masters of the Shen family had a copy, and no one failed; She struggled a lot. After Shen Laozu and the others thanked the county lord of Pingnan for his reward, they retired without staying long.

The daughters of the Shen family knew that the "sister-in-law and brother" mentioned by the county lord referred to the red sleeves and Shen Miaoge; Regardless of whether she was tempted or annoyed, the Shen family didn't care very much - they treated the county lord politely, and there was no half-point difference.

Back in Shen Laozu's room, Mrs. Shen sent away her daughters-in-law and told them to go back and talk less.

"This county lord is not simple." Mrs. Shen is holding on to her sick body, and now after some tossing, her face is already very bad, and her speech is a little uneven.

"Don't be reckless, go and rest; Now you don't have to worry about these things. Shen Laozu ignored Mrs. Shen's words, and sent someone to help her back to the room: "Take care of your illness by yourself, I can't turn the sky in this mansion for a day." ”

Mrs. Shen finally relieved herself when she heard Shen Laozu's words, and turned around and went back to the room without saying much: she now knew that it was really difficult to let her take charge of the Shen Mansion alone; And being in power is not a good thing.

She has been secretly fighting with Shen Laozu for power in the mansion for many years, and now she suddenly regrets what she did before: Why did she let go of Ansheng's days and had to find herself uncomfortable? Like your own daughter-in-law, how good it is to be an idle and wealthy woman.

She hasn't figured it out: how to say it, she and Shen Laozu are both members of the Shen family; Shen Lao Zu will not embarrass her for outsiders, and it will only be because of the people of the Shen family.

She walked out of the courtyard and glanced back at Shen Lao Zu's courtyard: when the old ancestor handed over the power of the mansion to her, was he waiting for her to be discouraged today? She sighed softly and stepped into the car and closed her eyes, not thinking about it, thinking about it again was just a lot of hard work.

Red Sleeves didn't go to greet the county lord, she sat alone in the house and was embroidering: this pattern requires more stitches, and she has been embroidering for more than two months, because she has always been very attentive, and her embroidery skills are now good, so she embroiders this job very beautifully, and she is also very proud of this work—it is for this reason that she will use it to calm her heart.

She knew that the county lord had entered the mansion today, and she also knew that Shen Laozu and the others had gone to welcome the county lord; However, it is better to think about nothing now than to think too much. Therefore, she embroidered seriously, and worked more carefully than usual.

Shen Miaoge was by her side, he didn't speak when she didn't speak, she embroidered and he looked at the account book; Although Zhao, Yunxiang and the others were very worried, they were worried about their master: the county lord is not good; But they didn't say much.

Although they don't have any way at the moment, they know a common saying: it's a blessing or a curse, and a disaster can't be avoided - the county lord has come, and what they need to do is to have a few more pairs of eyes and ears for the master.

Red Sleeves raised his head and moved his neck, and his neck was a little sore after lowering his head for a long time; Shen Miaoge looked back at her: "Finished embroidering?" ”

"No, it's early." Red Sleeves showed Shen Miaoge the embroidery work: "Let me embroider, it will take another month or two to complete." "Zhao and the others do the same work, but much faster.

Shen Miaoge looked at the embroidery, and then looked at the red sleeves seriously: "I'm afraid you will have to take a little more time to finish the embroidery - you won't have much time to embroider in the future." ”

Red Sleeves sighed lightly and glanced at Shen Miaoge: "Isn't it the county lord who is here?" If you come, you will come, if you have anything to say, you can say it, but you want to recruit me to speak first and mention the county lord. She raised her hand and stroked the horn of her hair: "This is my home." ”

Shen Miaoge smiled when she heard this: "Well, it's good that you don't feel uncomfortable in your heart; I'm just worried that you're thinking too much, but I'm overthinking. He raised the account book in his hand: "In two or three days, shall we go and see the gentlemen in the tent again?" ”

Red Sleeves also put down the matter of the county lord and stopped mentioning it: "It's time to go and see them." The little couple looked at each other and smiled, and when they were discussing the affairs of the tent room, they heard the little girl report: "The county lord has sent a reward." ”

Shen Miaoge's brows furrowed: Is this county lord kind or evil? Their little husband and wife did not go to greet her, so they were naturally exempted from bowing down; Now that she has given her a reward, are they going to thank her according to the rules?

Redsleeves stood up and said, "Please." "She's the owner of this yard, so she can't sit still and not talk.

Shen Miaoge immediately got up and stood beside her, and said softly: "Sleeve, everything has me." Red Sleeves turned her head and just smiled but didn't speak: Shen Miaoge really cares about her, so no matter whether he can do it or not, she will also accept this love.

A thin-looking, girl-dressed woman came in and saluted to the red sleeves and Shen Miaoge: "The maid greets the little marquis and the sleeve girl." ”

Hearing this, Red Sleeves raised his eyebrows slightly: This county lord is really attentive to the affairs of the Shen Mansion, and he actually knows that the Shen Mansion calls her a girl; She smiled softly and let Yunxiang help the person up, and politely invited the girl to sit down and talk.

The girl excused herself and did not sit down, and her words and demeanor were very respectful to the red sleeves; The little girl behind her took the tray in her hand and offered it with both hands: "This is what our county lord gave to the sleeve girl to enjoy." ”

She said to give, not reward. Red Sleeves was moved when he heard it: her status as the county lord means "reward", which is not excessive, it is normal; What is the purpose of the county lord to be so "approachable"? She didn't have to show favor to herself, the daughter of a fourth-rank general.

While thinking about it in her heart, she hurriedly stood up and prepared to thank her, but the girl had already bent down: "Our county lord said that they are all relatives, so please exempt the girl from all vulgar courtesies; If these little things can be liked by the girl, go to the east courtyard to walk around, our county is weak, but it is inconvenient to come and play with the girl. This means that there is no thanks; And ask the red sleeves to go to the east courtyard.

Red Sleeves still bowed to the East Courtyard, and then returned to the seat to be really polite to the girl, but did not mention when to go to the East Courtyard to greet the county lord.

The girl saluted Shen Miaoge again: "The maid just came from the courtyard of the little marquis, and I heard that you are here with the sleeve girl, so I brought things over; This is something that our county lord gave to the little marquis to enjoy. ”

Shen Miaoge didn't say much: the red sleeves in front of him had already ordered someone to collect things, so he also waved his hand for Ying Shu to collect things.

After sending the girl away, Red Sleeves and Shen Miaoge took a look at what the county lord of Pingnan had given them; At first glance, the two of them were surprised: their things were just right in pairs! There is nothing that he or she alone has.

The things that divide the male and female, the one with red sleeves is the female Shen Miaoge, and the one is the male; Male and female are exactly the same pair: for example, a pair of red musk deer skewers, one for each person.

Shen Miaoge muttered, "What does this mean?" Redsleeves was also thinking about it, and looked back at him when he heard his words: "What do you think?" ”

Shen Miaoge unconsciously played with the Zhu musk deer skewers in her hand: "Maybe she didn't come to our house voluntarily, right?" So send these things, wish us, we ......" his face was slightly red, and he didn't continue.

He didn't think badly of people all at once.

Redsleeves nodded slightly: "There is such a possibility." Anything else? She didn't take the initiative to say her conjecture, but just asked Shen Miaoge.

"Maybe she's just sending these things to test us, hoping to get rid of our hatred of her?" Shen Miaoge is really thinking about other possible "sex".

Trapped for him, he thought: If the county lord of Pingnan really didn't come for Shen Miaoge, then she didn't have to appear in the Shen Mansion at all; Even if she arrives at the Shen Mansion, she will not bother to befriend the people of the Shen family - just by virtue of her identity, even if their palace is no longer powerful, the Shen family will not treat her slowly.

Red Sleeves still nodded: "It's possible that yours said this." Which do you think is more likely, though? ”

Shen Miaoge looked up at her: "What do you think?" He wasn't stupid, so when he noticed something was wrong with Red Sleeves, he asked back; He looked at Red Sleeves with a smile that seemed to be not smiling: "I answered you twice, you won't answer me without a word." ”

Red Sleeves was slightly stunned, then turned around and sat down, deliberately making a coquettish appearance: "What if I just don't answer?" After she finished speaking, she glanced at Shen Miaoge.

Shen Miaoge looked at the red sleeves and smiled, shook his head and asked people to take away the things of the county lord of Pingnan: he really can't take the red sleeves; Anyway, he didn't eat deflated in the hands of Red Sleeves once or twice, so he didn't care.

Then he summoned Dian Jiao in and asked her to go to the girls of the Shen family for a walk: the main thing was to see if the county lord had also sent something over; It is never as good as being a little delicate to let others do this, because she is a person of the ancestors.

The two people who were not in a good mood are now hesitant in their hearts; Shen Miaoge saw that the red sleeves couldn't embroider a stitch for a long time, so she threw away the account book: "Sleeves, let's go see my mother." "Today, he has a little trouble breathing in this house.

Redsleeves didn't object, and it was much better to go out for a walk than to sit in the house; They replied to Shen Laozu and Mrs. Shen, and then asked people to prepare a car and leave the house.

The two of them didn't rush to the old mansion quickly: of course they couldn't just pass it if they were in a bad mood now, in case Mrs. Shen could see it and add to her heart; So the carriage moved slowly, and both of them looked at the pedestrians outside the window in a daze.

When Shen Miaoge saw the teahouse, he called a stop, turned his head and said with red sleeves: "Let's go to the teahouse and sit down, and then go to visit my mother when the mood calms down." ”

Since Red Sleeves came to this era, he has not been out of the house to play; And the word teahouse also attracted her: she always had a special affection for tea in her heart.

The two of them wanted to get out of the car and go to the teahouse, and the guards who accompanied the car naturally had to advise: they didn't want the little masters to make a mistake; Shen Miaoge repeatedly said that he just went to the teahouse to eat two cups of tea and relax, and did not walk around; When the guards thought of today's events, they all stopped trembling at them.

Seeing this, Red Sleeves sighed softly in her heart: She still wants to go out of the house with Shen Miaoge to have a good time, it seems that it is not easy to get out of the house.

The guards went in and asked for a private room, and then invited Shen Miaoge and Red Sleeves upstairs.

The teahouse is divided into two rooms, the lobby below is noisy, and there is a small stage in the center of the lobby, which is used to tell stories; The top is all private rooms, but they are patio-like: small rooms on all sides, but empty in the middle, just in front of the window to see the small stage downstairs.

After the red sleeves sat down, he first made it a little fresh, and then ordered tea and tasted it carefully: "Tea is also good tea, and water is also good water, but the fire is a little worse." ”

After speaking, she pointed to the tea cup: "Tea fragrance, you come and taste it." ”

Cha Xiang thanked the red sleeves and took a few bites of tea, nodded and said, "The girl is right, the heat of the tea is a little worse; And if the water is fresh, not for a few days, this tea should be more fragrant. ”

Shen Miaoge took a bite of the teacup, and then said with a smile: "As soon as your master and servant said it, I also feel that this tea seems to be a little insufficient; The last time I came with my father, I ate very good. ”

After listening to the book for a while and gossiping for a while, under the persuasion of the guards and Yunxiang and others, Red Sleeves and Shen Miaoge were finally ready to leave.

And when they got into the car, they didn't know that two people were watching them from the window facing the street: the window on the second floor facing the street was on the promenade, and those two people came out of the room on purpose.

"It's so small?" Both of them shook their heads slightly: "I'm afraid it's like the adults of their family are talking." There is the word Shen Mansion immediately, they won't be people from the Shen Marquis Mansion in Beijing, right? ”

When the two men saw that the carriage was far away, they went back to the room and continued to listen to books and eat tea, without mentioning the red-sleeved them again; However, there are two fewer long-term attendants in the room.

After Red Sleeves and Shen Miaoge arrived at the old mansion, they accompanied Mrs. Shen until the sun was about to go down before they retired; By the time they got into the carriage, they were much calmer.

After they left, Mrs. Shen said to the people who were waiting beside her: "What happened in the mansion over there, Qi'er and Sleeve Er seem to have something on their minds." The attendant hurriedly comforted Mrs. Shen and relieved her; Because Master Hou had instructed, for the sake of Mrs. Shen's body, don't tell Mrs. Shen anything about the things in the mansion over there.
