Chapter 141: Ancestral Hall

Shen Pan'er frowned, looked at Shen Ci hesitantly, and saw that he was staring at Ye Lingwu intently, and the corners of his mouth were still hooked with a smile that seemed to be absent, like a peacock with the screen open.

"Does the second brother like Sister Lingwu?" Shen Pan'er muttered quietly, probably because she was still drunk, and the ghost sent the god to say what she was saying in her heart with her mouth.

Ye Lingwu's writing action stopped stiffly, Rong Xiuyan almost didn't knock over the ink, and the master and servant looked at each other and didn't send one.

Only Shen Ci's face was not red and his heart was not beating, and he replied without caring if he saw through it: "How do you know?" ”

Shen Pan'er's eyes widened and said, "Really?" ”

Shen Ci gave her a "fussed" look, turned around and continued to look at Shen Ao's portrait "introspective".

Ye Lingwu was about to quibble about something, but Yu's mother led the female envoy here again, and she also had a lot of wound medicine in her hand, not applied externally, after all, she was still in the ancestral hall, and she could only use some internal medicine to relieve Shen Paner's pain.

The topic ended, but Ye Lingwu was still faintly uneasy in his heart, and Shen Pan'er knew that didn't mean that the Zhao family would know it soon.

Zhao likes Cheng Gukite so much, will he no longer treat himself like his own girl because of her? Will you not misunderstand, thinking that you are the first to provoke Shen Ci?

Ye Lingwu's hand holding the brush gradually became stronger, and the fingertips touching the pen shaft were so tight that they turned white.

“…… Girl? ”

Suddenly there was a whisper in her ears, Ye Lingwu was relieved like waking up from a big dream, and the thoughts in her heart just now were like a bucket of cold water poured down, so cold that her body trembled, her hands suddenly felt weak, the brush poked straight on the white paper, and the ink soaked black.

"Ouch, Miss Fog, this is almost a page full of how the ink is ruined!"

Yu's mother was the first to speak out in pity, and she didn't even say anything about Rongxiu in her eyes, but silently took the brush away and moved the copied paper farther away.

Shen Ci looked at it, frowned, and estimated that if this girl was frightened because of his words, then this reflection arc was really long enough, how long had it been since she reacted?

"It's okay to be mother, just write it again." Ye Lingwu smiled back at her, then picked up the brush, changed the paper, and continued to copy with his head buried.

By the time he had finished copying ten times, it was approaching noon.

After Shen Chongwen, who had finished discussing important matters in the palace, he heard that his son and daughter had been punished to the ancestral hall, and his daughter was also served by the family law, so he was so anxious that Shen Chongwen's official uniform couldn't wait to be changed, so he took three steps and ran to the ancestral hall.

"My darling!"

When everyone in the hall heard the sound, they turned their heads and looked towards the door, and saw Shen Chongwen stumbling in with the hem of his red official uniform in one hand.

Shen Pan'er, who finally stopped, heard Shen Chongwen's voice, and immediately cried: "Father, why did you come back, your baby girl is about to be crippled!" Woo woo butt hurts so much, my mother let Wu Wan beat me! ”

"......" Shen Ci pinched his eyebrows: The tired father and daughter are here again.

"......" Ye Lingwu stopped writing and looked at it secretly: Baby girl? This title is really a father-daughter relationship.

"......" Yu mother's face does not change, and she is used to it.

"Pan'er, don't cry, sigh my poor baby girl, tell me how your mother can do it, when you go back to the house, my father will ask the female envoy to go to your eldest brother's south courtyard to get some good medicine, you can rest assured, your injuries will be healed in less than three days."

As he spoke, Shen Chongwen vaguely smelled a smell of wine, squatted down along the smell, looked at Shen Pan'er and asked, "Baby girl, why do you have such a big smell of wine?" ”

Shen Pan'er's crying froze for a moment, and then she cried even louder, heartbreaking, almost howling, as if she wanted to lift the roof of the ancestral hall.

Hearing her cry like this, Shen Chongwen's heart was broken, and he hugged Shen Pan'er and comforted: "Don't cry, don't cry, your mother is really good, how can you use family law against your daughter and let Wu Wan execute her!" ”

The crowd was silent.

Although Shen Chongwen is a civil official, he inherited Shen Ao's burly and tall man, plus the identity of the second master of the Hou Mansion, it is really funny to cry in the ancestral hall with Shen Paner at this moment.

probably couldn't stand it anymore, Shen Ci said with a disgusted face: "I said that if your father and daughter want to cry, can you go back to the house to cry, the ears hurt directly, and it doesn't make people see a joke." My father was really distressed, so he hurried to say some kind things to my mother, and asked her to spare us, and the meal was not even seen at noon. ”

After speaking, he secretly complained again: "I haven't seen you so distressed when I used the family method before." ”

Shen Chongwen didn't care about reprimanding Shen Ci for his disrespectful words, and gently wiped his snot and tears for Shen Pan'er with his official uniform, and said, "Baby girl, you haven't eaten yet?" ”

Shen Paner nodded with tears and replied, "I didn't eat breakfast, but I was beaten and punished by my mother." ”

"How can this be done, father, go to your mother and talk to it! It's just unbelievable, how can a mother punish her daughter like this, I really don't know what to say. Shen Chongwen walked towards the door as he spoke, and his steps were menacing. Yu's mother followed closely with the female envoy.

As soon as Shen Chongwen left, Shen Paner stopped crying, rubbed her little face back and forth on her sleeves, and waited for good news.

Ye Lingwu on the side has not written since Shen Chongwen entered the ancestral hall, and seeing that he felt sorry for Shen Paner's injury, and cried with Shen Paner, he was even more envious in his heart, these are all fatherly love that she has never experienced.

"Girl, you have to copy this book quickly, and after copying it, you can go back to the yard, how uncomfortable it is to kneel." Rong Xiu reminded in a whisper.

She reminded her like this, and Ye Lingwu realized that Old Lady Shen hadn't figured out how to excuse herself.

Not long after, Shen Chongwen coaxed the Zhao family to come to the ancestral hall.

Shen Chongwen, who had said in front of his daughter that he would fight hard, was called a low-eyebrow pleasing to the Zhao family at this moment, obviously they were all old husbands and wives, Shen Chongwen still had to pull Zhao's hand, and the Zhao family did not follow, after all, in addition to the ancestors watching in the ancestral hall, the children were also there.

The husband and wife sang and harmonized, reprimanded the three of them hard and softly, and refused to release them until the afternoon.

Jinghe Hall.

The small pond in the courtyard was full of lotus flowers, and it was hot in the afternoon, but the house was still cooler.

A gilded copper smoker lit incense ingots that repel mosquitoes, and there were jujube mud cakes, yam cakes, and frosted millet cakes on the table, which were specially ordered by Mrs. Shen to make the female envoy at noon, and they were all Ye Lingwu's favorite food.

Ye Lingwu sat on the soft couch coyly, looking stupid, and Mama Xuan and Rong Xiu carefully applied a layer of anti-stasis ointment to her knees.

Old Mrs. Shen sat on the Hu bed, looked at the black green on her knees, and said softly: "You girl is bold but has always done her duty, why couldn't you figure out how to mess around with Shen Paner last night?" ”

Ye Lingwu's expression was gloomy, and he said silently: "Old lady......"

"I don't listen to lies." Old Lady Shen saw this girl's thoughts at a glance and interrupted.

Ye Ling choked on the mist.

Mrs. Shen slowly twisted the Buddha beads and whispered: "Last night was Brother Rong's wedding banquet, and I looked at her in the morning with a bad face. ”

Ye Lingwu's eyes widened suddenly, and he replied, "The old lady understands. ”

Old Mrs. Shen chuckled bitterly and sighed: "Pan'er's girl has been treasured by your second uncle since she was a child, she has no heart at all, and she can't look at people. ”

"Speaking of which, Jing Yan's marriage also has to make the Zhao family anxious, I look at the Cheng family girl is good, invite her to the house as a guest in a few days, and it is good for the two to have more contacts." Old Lady Shen frowned.

Ye Lingwu lowered his eyes slowly and didn't say anything.

At this time, Mama Xuan, who was taking good medicine, put away the medicine bottle and teased: "They all say that they pity the hearts of parents in the world, and they want the old slave to say, this grandmother is even more worried, the old lady was worried about Miss Lanshu a few days ago, and she clearly said that she would not mix with the troubles of these juniors in the future." ”

Old Lady Shen frowned when she heard this, snorted, and said: "I don't worry about it, but yesterday at the banquet, I saw the Zhao family pulling Mrs. Zhang and the Cheng family girl to greet each other, watching them talk speculatively, the Cheng family girl and Jing Yan have known each other since childhood, and it is only a matter of time before I think about it." ”

Mama Xuan smiled: "The old slave may not look at it. ”

Everyone looked at her suspiciously.

Mama Xuan explained: "This girl of the Cheng family is too much like a man, and she wants to rush with the temper of the second brother, and she really wants to become a family in the future, and this inner house cannot be turned upside down." ”

Old Mrs. Shen was silent, but in a blink of an eye, she saw Ye Lingwu silently put down the skirt that was lifted to her thigh, rubbed her right wrist unconsciously with her left hand, and said: "Your second uncle and mother punished you for copying women's training so that you always remember the four words of prudence and prudence, I never care about my daughter-in-law to educate my children, not to mention that your second uncle and aunt never easily punish her, last night you were drunk in the restaurant, and the face of the Hou Mansion in Ningbei is still missing?" ”

Although it was a reproachful word, the tone was a little doting.

Ye Lingwu smiled and said: "I understand the old lady, in fact, I am quite happy that the second uncle and mother can punish me, since I was a child, except for my mother, no one has punished me for anything." ”

"You can think so, your second uncle and aunt are also relieved to know it." Old Lady Shen nodded, picked up the herbal tea on the desk and drank it.

As soon as the words fell, I saw Tanchun hurriedly walking in from outside the house, and said with a panicked expression: "The old lady is not good, the slave maid heard the news from the outer courtyard...... The Queen Mother died. ”

The room was instantly quiet.

The hot air blowing into the flower window is accompanied by a hint of coolness.

Although Mrs. Shen had expected it, she was still shocked, and she reacted and forced herself to calm down: "When did it happen?" ”

Tanchun pursed his lips and replied, "A quarter of an hour ago." ”
