Chapter 13: Undercurrents
At six o'clock, the secretary is on duty.
The father and son of the Shen family walked side by side in the alley back to the courtyard of the Shen family.
Shen Fang still maintained a certain distance from his father, after all, he had learned from the past, and Shen Fang was afraid that any inadvertent move would provoke his father to draw a knife and slash over.
"You've changed a lot in the last few days"
Shen Zhixin opened his mouth to break the silence between the two.
"Hmm"
Shen Fang replied lightly, saving too much to say that it would be exposed.
But he complained in his heart: Your son may have been queuing up in the underworld to be reincarnated.
"Bring it!" Shen Zhixin stretched out his hand and spread it out in front of his son.
"What?"
Shen Fang was confused, what kind of nerves is Daddy?
"Five taels yesterday, ten taels today, a total of fifteen taels!"
Shen Fang instantly understood, the emotional father fell in love with the silver two in his arms.
Fifteen taels of silver for three months, if it is according to the money he used to be a pen clerk, I am afraid that it will not be so much for half a year.
For a while, he was a little hesitant and unwilling in his heart, but the person in front of him was his father, and he was very entangled.
Shen Zhixin seemed to see something, and was silent for a while before speaking:
"There are a lot of things that need to be done at home on weekdays, and recently I need to explain your marriage with Yuerou!"
Shen Fang instantly understood in seconds, this is because there is not much money at home!
After a while, there was no money left in his arms, and it was all stuffed into his father's hands by Shen Fang.
Thinking of Jiang Yuerou's addictive and beautiful figure, Shen Fang suddenly felt that it was only fifteen taels, a little money! Money!
…………
Wu House.
The huge mansion has only Wu Zhi and a few subordinates all year round.
Wu Zhi sat in the study and pondered for a long time, but there was still no conclusion in his heart.
Although he is a scholar, he only has some literary attainments, and he is still much worse in judging cases and investigating things.
sighed slightly, took the pen and sharpened the inkstone, and wrote down the recent events in Tangcheng and what Shen Fang guessed today, concisely and concisely on the note.
Summoned the flying pigeon to deliver the message, tied up the written note, raised his hand and threw it, and the flying pigeon gradually disappeared into the sky.
Wu Zhi looked at the sky and lost his mind slightly.
To be honest, he really didn't want to bother his father-in-law, but now things were far beyond his expectations, so he had to make such a decision.
The youthful frivolity of the year is long gone, if someone asks him now, do you regret it?
Wu Zhi will definitely answer at this moment: I regret it, I regret it a long time ago!
Sure enough, time can smooth everything out.
Three quarters later
The carrier pigeon that flew out of Wufu hung quietly among a branch not far from the city, and the original snow-white pigeon body had been stained red with blood.
From time to time, red blood dripped from the count.
As for that note, there is no trace of it.
…………
The Qin family
In the old lady's room.
An old man in his early seventies leaned on the side of the bed and listened quietly to his four sons.
Except for his pale face, he couldn't see any other expressions.
The trauma to his abdomen forced him to pretend to be sick and stay in bed.
Maybe others have forgotten, but Old Lady Qin still remembers the appearance of the Qin family back then, and saw that the Qin family was about to regain its former glory, but after all, it was a bad move, and it was almost lost.
The goods were robbed, and the second child lost his life because of it, but under the calm appearance of the old man, he was full of hatred and unwillingness.
More than 70 years of knowledge convinced him that the Qin family was afraid of being targeted.
Maybe it's a ghost knife, maybe it's someone else.
But whoever it is, he must die and be buried for the second child.
It's just that at the moment, there are internal and external troubles, and the Qin family can't do all this.
Old Lady Qin glanced at her four sons with some disappointment in her eyes.
Now he had to suspect that one of his four sons had betrayed the Qin family.
Only he and his five sons knew what the Qin family had shipped this time, if it wasn't for the betrayal of the ghost knife, how would they know the news?
The second child has proved his innocence with his life, so what about now?
The four people in front of him are all the sons of his knees, and he grew up watching them since he was a child, and the old lady has no bottom in his heart.
…………
Su family.
Su Jinyun sat in the study, not knowing what to think.
After a long time, he wrote two letters, and handed them over to his subordinates to send them to Merlot Study and Puyun Temple.
Then he returned to the study, leaned back in his chair and pondered.
Looking at the word "ghost knife" written on the rice paper at some point, Su Jinyun was annoyed, and wrote a big cross on the word "ghost knife".
It wasn't until half an hour later that he left the study and walked towards the west wing.
This is the place that Su Jinyun has been most frequented in the past six months.
Qin Tingcheng, one of the three beauties of Tangcheng, lived in this house.
Second Master Qin passed away, the concubine has been in a bad mood recently, and Su Jinyun, as a husband, should go to Haosheng to comfort her.
…………
In the courtyard of the Shen family.
Shen Fang bypassed his cousin and sneaked into Jiang Yuerou's room again.
This time, Jiang Yuerou's boudoir door was closed, but she hadn't even used dinner, so how could anyone lock the door.
With a slight push, Shen Fang stepped in.
Jiang Yuerou was embroidering a handkerchief, this was the delicate work that Shen's mother had received, she had been embroidering for three days in a row, and it would be completed in half a day.
Before Shen Fang could get closer, Jiang Yuerou had already gotten up and looked at him vigilantly.
It's no wonder that Jiang Yuerou is indeed a little obscene in front of Shen Fang, which makes her recall the unspeakable things that Shen Fang has done over the years.
Although the two signed a marriage letter yesterday, this was just a show for Jiang Yuerou, and only Shen Fang took it seriously.
"What is my cousin embroidering? Show me."
Shen Fang smiled and walked forward, without that annoying cousin, the whole air was much fresher.
Jiang Yuerou handed the handkerchief to Shen Fang.
"My cousin's hands are so skillful!"
Shen Fang admired, like the thin silk thread of fine hair being pieced together by the jade man in front of him, forming a delicate and slightly warped beauty.
Between the slightly yellowed lotus leaves in the sunset, three lotus flowers bloom one after another, beautiful and natural, but unfortunately it is only a semi-finished product.
"How much does it cost to embroider such a silk handkerchief?"
Looking at Jiang Yuerou's fingertips, which were still a little red, Shen Fang was a little distressed.
"Two Two"
There is indeed a lot of money, but in Shen Fang's opinion, it is still too low, and two taels are far from enough to buy this embroidery.
"Cousin"
"Hmm"
"I'll raise you later!"
Looking at Shen Fang's sincere eyes, Jiang Yuerou was a little flustered in her heart, and she didn't know why.
"But......" Jiang Yuerou wanted to speak.
Shen Fang had already opened his mouth to interrupt:
"In the future, I will be responsible for making money to support my family, and you will be responsible for being beautiful like a flower, doing what you like, and you don't have to work hard."
"How can you be a fool?"
Jiang Yuerou sneered.
"Today, the priest will reward me with ten taels of silver!"
Shen Fang wants to prove himself.
"Where's the money?"
Jiang Yuerou stretched out her hand to express disbelief.
Shen Fang has only been a fast hand for a few days, how can he be rewarded.
"Daddy took it, saying that it was for us to buy a wedding"
……
Half an hour later.
"Cousin, do you know what this is?"
"It's a little like a pig, but it's much cuter, why haven't I ever seen such a style of painting?"
"It's Peppa Pig!"
"Peppa Pig?"
……
Sure enough, without that annoying cousin, Shen Fang could really show his strength.
After lying in Jiang Yuerou's boudoir for an hour, Shen Fang reluctantly left in the twilight.
On the other side, Shen Zhixin had just walked out of Jiang Weinian's room.
There was still a solemnity on his face.
On this day, it seemed to be a calm night, but Tangcheng was turbulent.
Spies from all walks of life, led by the Luo family, rushed to the vicinity of the Qin family.
The purpose is self-evident.
