Wang Xiuwen got married from the Wu'an Hou Mansion, and when she returned to the door in three days, she naturally returned to the Wu'an Hou Mansion.

Sang Xuanyue didn't join in the fun, and accompanied his younger brother to study in the Rose Garden.

The old lady specially sent someone to invite them to the banquet, but Sang Xuanyue excused herself that her body had not fully recovered, so she went over.

Sang Xuanyue knew that the old lady did this because she didn't show up on the day Wang Xiuwen added makeup and got married. Although it was the custom of this dynasty that widowed women were excluded on these occasions, the old lady would definitely feel guilty about it, so she came to invite her on a day like today.

But Sang Xuanyue really didn't want to go.

She is not a person who likes to be lively, and she has a grudge against her when she comes to the Wang family. Let her look at the room full of Wang family, it is difficult for her emotions to stabilize. If you can't help but spill a glass of wine, the scene will be ugly.

Sang twisted the moon and didn't pass, and Qing'er definitely didn't go. The sisters and brothers live their own little lives peacefully, and they read very well.

Soon Wang Xiuwen and the fifth son of the Xun family left, and very quickly, it was time for the Wang family to leave Beijing.

The Wang family originally wanted to stay in the capital, but Wang Xiuwen didn't know what to say to the old lady, so the old lady decided that everyone should go back to Lingzhou. Even her old man did not live in the Wu'an Hou Mansion, and after saying goodbye to Mrs. Tai who was at home, Mrs. Gu left Beijing with her children and grandchildren.

As soon as the Wang family left, the entire Hou Mansion was cleaned.

At this time, the New Year is getting closer and closer, and the days of Shen Yuyao and Lu are also getting closer.

On the eighteenth day of the lunar month, Sang Xuanyue received a letter from the nurse and went out again and went to the house she had bought before.

The nurse, Que'er, and Xiaoyan have moved into this house. On the door of the house hangs a reddish-brown plaque with the word "Sangfu" inscribed on it.

Pushing open the door and walking in, the inside was very different from before. The dead branches and leaves were all cleaned up, the roof tiles were replaced, the paint blocks were repainted, and the entire house was repainted......

The whole house is very elegantly cleaned, it looks clean and neat, which makes people feel refreshed. It's just that it's the middle of winter, and there isn't much green in the courtyard, so it's a little depressed.

But the overall look is still very good, Sang twisted the moon around twice freely, and her eyes were full of smiles.

The nurse said, "The musty smell in the house is still a little strong, and if you repaint it, you need to get rid of the smell again." Where did I live in the gatehouse with Xiaoque and Yan'er, but some neighbors came to inquire these days. ”

The nurse talked in detail about the situation of the surrounding neighbors, and said that the plaque was customized by her search, and she hung it on an auspicious day, and she didn't know if the girl was strange.

Later, she said that the furniture in the house was taken away from the original owner's house, and she found someone to customize some tables, chairs, beds, cabinets and other things, and Sang Xuanyue's yard was still according to the appearance she had when she was in Sang's house, as for the courtyard of the little young master, she meant that it was arranged according to the courtyard of the eldest young master, and she didn't know whether the little master liked it or not.

Without waiting for Sang Xuanyue to speak, Qing'er preemptively said, "Nurse, I will definitely like it." I heard my sister say that my eldest brother's yard was arranged for him by my father and mother, which was comfortable and elegant, and I have been yearning for it for a long time. ”

When the nurse heard this, she touched Qing'er's head with pity, and she wanted to say, "Poor child, your brothers and sisters have enjoyed more than ten years of blessings, but you are the only one who began to live under the fence not long after you were born." You have given birth to a rich life, but your luck is not good, and you have not lived a happy day so far. ”

Sang Xuanyue looked at the nurse with red eyes, and her eyes were full of tears. What the nurse had in mind was written on her face, and Sang Xuanyue knew what she was thinking with just one glance.

Sang Xuanyue hurriedly stopped the nurse's words and quipped, "You are so old, can you still remember how my eldest brother's yard and I were arranged?" You've got a good memory. ”

The nurse patted Sang and twisted the moon, "No matter how long it has been, I remember clearly what our hometown house looks like when it is separated from grass and trees." That is, this house is small, it is better to have five houses in ours, otherwise I can reproduce all the scenery for you. ”

"Then when I have recovered my strength, I will go to the outskirts of the city to buy a piece of land, and when the time comes, I will build it compared to my family's house, and I will hand over all the decorations to you?"

The nurse was furious, "Girl, you will make fun of me." ”

Several people laughed, walked around the house again, and prepared to go out.

When they walked to the door, Sang Xuanyue and the nurse said, "Look who has a dog, take two of them, and there are only three of you in the family, I don't worry." ”

"What's wrong with that? Security is good here. The people of the yamen patrolled three times a day, and there was not even a single petty thief on the street. Don't worry, girl, we're not afraid. Besides, we seem to be subordinates, we don't have much money on us, and even if there are really bad people, they won't look for us. ”

"Nurse, you are talking nonsense, where did you come from?"

"Okay, good, no bad guys."

There were villains for a while, and there were no villains for a while, and several people were all blindfolded.

Now the sky was still bright outside, but the sky was gloomy, and the clouds were pressing down, as if it were within reach.

There were very few pedestrians walking on the streets, and everyone was hunched their necks and trembling and hurried home.

An old man muttered, "This thief is going to snow again." ”

"It's only snowed twice this year, which isn't a lot of miles. Didn't the official master of Qin Tianjian say that there is a snowstorm this year, so he will stock up more coal and firewood, and repair the house. ”

When Sang Xuanyue and Qing'er heard this, they instructed the driver who was driving, "Go faster, it won't be easy to hurry when the snow falls." ”

Fortunately, the residence here is not far from the Wu'an Hou Mansion, only separated by two streets. If you go back to the Wu'an Hou Mansion through the back door, it will be closer, and it will only take a stick of incense to arrive.

There are a few restaurants at the back door, and the taste is very good, and the carriage has already driven past this side, but Sang Xuanyue shouted to stop.

"What does my sister want to do? Would you like to go to this shop for some dinner? ”

Sang Xuanyue got out of the carriage and felt that it was inappropriate, so she said abruptly, "I told the old lady before that if I went out, I would bring her some snacks back." I haven't brought it before, but this time I happened to meet ......"

Qing'er laughed, "Sister wants to bring some food back for the old lady?" ”

"Yes, it's just that the old lady is golden and noble, and I don't know if she eats these things outside."

Qing'er held her sister's hand and said, "Let's buy it, whether the old lady eats it or not, even if it is lost by the people around the old lady later, but my sister did what she said, this is my sister's heart." ”

Sang Xuanyue was persuaded by her younger brother, "Then go in and buy some?" ”

"I'll go with my sister."

There are many restaurants at the back gate of Wu'an Hou's Mansion, as well as two restaurants. Because it was something to give to the old lady to eat, Sang Xuanyue didn't want to buy it on the street, worried that she wouldn't be able to get into the old lady's mouth. But I think this is the back door of the Hou Mansion in Wu'an, according to the filial piety of several masters of the Hou Mansion, the dishes in the restaurant have been eaten by the old lady, since you want to surprise the old lady, it is not good to send duplicate things.

In the end, the siblings picked and chosen, chose a particularly clean restaurant, and packed six side dishes to go back.

Because they were worried that the dishes would not taste good if they were cold, and that it would be too troublesome to reheat them when they turned around when they were cold, the sisters and brothers specially asked the store to borrow a food box, and then hurriedly entered the back door of the Hou Mansion.

They walked in too hasty, so they didn't have time to look around, and naturally they didn't notice that there was still a familiar figure sitting at the second-floor window last time.

It's just that unlike last time, this time Shen Tingjun is holding a tea cup in his hand.

However, the person sitting opposite him was still the same as the person last time, but it was not Liang Haosheng.

Liang Haosheng saw that his eyes were staring in one direction without blinking, and his ears were pricked up, as if he was listening to something, so he couldn't help but open the window curiously and looked over.

However, it was so cold, Liang Haosheng immediately retracted his head.

"What do you see so fascinating? This is the back door of your house, is there that person who doesn't have long eyes doing bad things here? ”

"There are no bad deeds, but there are two good deeds."

"Those two? Where is it? Why didn't I see it? Liang Haosheng asked.

Shen Tingjun ignored Liang Haosheng's curiosity, put the teacup on the table and stood up straight. Liang Haosheng hurriedly "sighed" a few times, "What are you going to do?" I'm not done yet. ”

As soon as he got off the office, he caught Shen Tingjun, who was going back to his house, and dragged him to this old place to drink.

That little messy family affair has not been completely broken to this day, Liang Haosheng was upset, so he came to find a friend to relieve his boredom.

Clinker Shen Tingjun doesn't talk about morality, he was fine just now, he didn't know what he saw, he got up and was about to leave.

Shen Tingjun: "I'm not interested today, I don't want to drink, let's come to Japan." ”

"No, Shen Tingjun, are you teasing me?" Liang Hao smiled angrily, "If you don't want to drink, you won't refuse me, and you're still listening to me chattering and drinking tea with me on the second floor, what about you playing with me?" ”

"Anyway, I'm not free today, you can drink it yourself, and I'll invite you later."

"Alas, alas, what are you doing, you can tell me clearly......"

In response to Liang Haosheng, there was a series of footsteps going downstairs, and when Liang Haosheng poked his head out of the window again, he saw that Shen Tingjun had already appeared downstairs.

Liang Haosheng roared, "Shen Tingjun, you wait for me, you don't do things righteously, don't blame me for ignoring brotherhood, I'll tell your old lady about you accompanying the girl to eat when I turn around." ”

Liang Haosheng suppressed his voice in this voice, but this is the back door of the Hou Mansion of Wu'an.

As soon as Shen Tingjun walked out of the restaurant, the whole street was quiet for a while. The attention of the people on both sides of the street was all on him, and Liang Haosheng's voice was not high, but everyone had been paying attention to this side. So, there was no need to advertise it widely, almost in an instant, everyone knew about Hou Ye accompanying the girl to dinner.

It's just, Master Hou accompanies the girl to dinner?

Whose girl? When? Where to eat?

Why is no one sharing such important information? Are all the people of the capital blind?

Besides, Liang Haosheng received Shen Tingjun's death gaze, and the whole person was excited, and immediately retracted his head and sat back in his original position.

At this time, he realized what he had just said, and couldn't help but pat himself in the face with annoyance, "It's bad, this time I offended that little eye." ”

Thinking of the look that Shen Tingjun had just seen, Liang Haosheng had palpitations, and immediately stopped eating or drinking, tightened his belt and went downstairs to fight home. He promised to avoid Shen Tingjun before the year, otherwise he might be beaten in the head by him at any time.

Don't say how embarrassed Liang Haosheng is now, just say that Sang Xuanyue and Qing'er walked fast, and soon arrived at the gate of the second courtyard.

The mother-in-law guarding the door was waiting here, and when she saw Sang twisting the moon, she smiled toothlessly, "The girl is going to say hello to the old lady again?" Why did you pick this time, it looks like it's going to be dark. ”

Sang Xuanyue said, "I just came back from outside, and I brought a few dishes to try for the old lady." ”

The gatekeeper looked at the five-layer food box in front of her, smelling the fragrance that overflowed, and her saliva was about to flow out. She didn't dare to delay Sang Xuanyue's time, so she immediately let her go, but when Qing'er wanted to go in, her mother-in-law hesitated.

I heard this woman say, "Girl, it's not that the old slave is embarrassing you, it's really that the little boy is not young." ”

Although he is only more than ten years old, he has eaten and drunk well in the past two months, and Qing'er has jumped up a lot, and he looks like a beautiful young man. Without the old lady's orders, she wouldn't dare to put such a big boy in, if she bumped into Miss Yao'er or something else, she couldn't afford to be offended.

Sang Xuanyue looked at Qing'er, Qing'er opened her mouth and smiled, "Then I won't go, sister, you can take Sister Sujin over." I'm tired from running all afternoon, so I'll go back to the Rose Garden first. Sister Chunyu designated to cook our meal, if I don't go back to eat, I'm afraid there will be a lot left today. ”

Sang Xuanyue nodded in agreement, "Then you eat more." And he said, "My sister will go back in a moment." ”

"Ugh."

The sisters and brothers parted ways, and Sang Xuanyue took Su Jin to Heyan Hall.

At this time, the lights in the Heyan Hall were bright, and it happened that it was time for the old lady to eat, and the maids served the dishes, and Sang Xuanyue saw this and walked faster.

Knowing that Sang Xuanyue came over at this time, and was still carrying a big food box in her hand, the old lady suddenly thought of something, and hurriedly beckoned her to her, as if the whole person was happy, "You really brought me something to eat?" ”

"I just went out today and brought you some back. I promised you, and I won't break my word. It's just that these are not valuable things, and I don't know your taste, so I'm afraid you don't like them. ”

But the old lady smiled and said, "I don't like it, I like it very much." As long as you bring a few wild vegetables, I can also eat the taste of the imperial feast. ”

The subordinates all laughed, and hurriedly put the dishes prepared in the house aside, and put the dishes brought by Sang Xuanyue in front of the old lady. The two talked and laughed, and they were about to start eating, but suddenly there was a voice of greeting from outside the courtyard, and immediately, a familiar male voice reached the ears of everyone in the house.

It was Shen Tingjun who came.

Sang twisted Yue's heart, but the old lady smiled, and when her son walked in the door, the old lady beckoned him to sit on the other side, and asked with a smile, "Didn't you say that Haosheng kid wanted you to accompany him to eat and drink?" I smell you and you don't smell alcohol, why did you come back before you ate wine? ”

"He has something to do, so he will go back first, and we will meet again when I am free in the next day." Shen Tingjun said casually.

The old lady sighed, "Is there a stir in his house again?" Mrs. Liang is a person who is decisive in official affairs, and when he is involved in household affairs, he becomes indecisive. It's not my old woman Lisuo to do something, how did he get promoted to that official? ”

Shen Tingjun is not good at talking about the rights and wrongs of the elders behind his back, not to mention that Mrs. Liang is still the elder of the country, not something he can put his beak, so Shen Tingjun didn't say anything, just looked directly at the silent Sang Xuanyue.

The old lady followed his gaze, patted her head abruptly, and smiled, "Look at my memory, I almost forgot about the moon." Then he happily told Sang Xuanyue about the dishes that Sang Xuanyue had specially brought her back.

The old lady was obviously overjoyed, and said that Sang Xuanyue was "good boy, I only think she is talking and playing with me, and she takes the clinker seriously." ”

"I have been greatly favored by you, and I will not let you down." Sang Xuanyue said sincerely.

"You kid, you're just too serious."

Shen Tingjun said, "My cousin has a heart." ”

Because it was not early, a few people cleaned their hands under the service of the maid and began to eat.

At the dinner table, Shen Tingjun served a bowl of soup to the old lady, and handed Sang Zhuyue a bowl.

When the old lady saw that Sang was frightened, she said, "Just think it's in your own home, how to eat and how to use it." Tingjun is your cousin, and there is nothing you can't afford to serve you a bowl of soup. ”

"There is labor...... Hou Ye".

Sang twisted the moon and stalked his neck, and swallowed a mouthful of black chicken soup with difficulty. I don't know whether this chicken soup is salty or bitter, sour or spicy, in short, the taste is indescribable, and she can't digest it for a while.

"You kid is too disciplined, you call Da Lang cousin, and you call Hou Ye too outside."

Sang Twist Moon chuckled, but did not speak. She used chopsticks to clip a piece of fish that she liked for the old lady, and the old lady ate it with joy, and it seemed that her appetite was very good tonight.

On the other hand, Sang Zhuyue, I don't know if the dishes are unappetizing, or the eyes of the person opposite are too scorching, so that she was flustered all night, and barely stuffed half a bowl of rice into her stomach, and she felt panicked in her stomach, and she couldn't eat anything anymore.

After the meal, pieces of crystal clear snowflakes fell in the air, and the little maidens cheered, "It's snowing, it's snowing." ”

They were bouncing under the eaves of the porch, completely unaware of their age. When I see snow, I want to build a snowman and throw snowballs, and I am full of play, I don't know how many people will freeze to death in their houses when this heavy snow falls, and how many people will lose their lives in their dreams because of the collapse of their houses.

The old lady sighed, "Tomorrow, let people go to the city gate to give porridge." ”

"Don't worry about this, I'll let the housekeeper do it. Yao'er's ceremony is imminent, you see if there is anything missing from your sister's side. ”

"There is no shortage of things, but it is your sister's good day, God is going to snow, if there are a few more lives, it will hurt your sister's blessing."

Shen Tingjun said, "Tomorrow, I will ask the housekeeper to send a few more porridge shacks, and then divide some warm clothes to see if I can free up a few Zhuangzi to resettle the homeless victims and save people's lives as much as possible, just pray for my sister." ”

"Okay, Dalang, you have a heart."

The snow was getting heavier and the day was getting late. Worried that the snow on the road would be difficult to walk in the future, Sang Xuanyue asked for his resignation.

The old lady didn't want to keep her any longer, so she asked someone to take a piece of her youth.

Although it was the clothes of her youth, the old lady never wore them. This dress is not very valuable, but it is bright red, the clothes are very bright, and there is a circle of white fox fur trim on the brim, and gold and silver threads are embroidered on the big hat, which is really gorgeous and rich to the naked eye.

Sang Xuanyue didn't want to take it, but the old lady said angrily with a stiff face, "Do you dislike my old man's things?" If you dislike it, I won't give it to you. ”

Sang twisted the moon can't, so he can only take it. She put on a big hat herself, tied a belt, and the snowy skin and flowers, against the backdrop of this red big cloud, the whole person showed more ice muscles and jade bones, like a goddess of the Nine Heavens descending to earth.

"Beautiful." The old lady was happy, "I knew that you girl was the most eye-catching in red." I'm old, and if I wear such a bright color, people are afraid that they won't laugh at my old woman as a demon. ”

Sang Xuanyue took Su Jin and walked out of Heyan Hall under the eyes of the old lady.

Shen Tingjun sat in the flower hall and drank another cup of tea with his mother, and then got up to leave.

The old lady was old, and after her son had left, she washed up and lay down on the bed.

Suddenly, she thought of something, so she asked Shuangli, "Did Da Lang go to Songbai Courtyard to settle down, or did he go back to the front yard?" ”

"Master Hou went to the front yard, old lady."

In the dark night, the old lady sighed softly, "Alas......"

But it was said that Sang Xuanyue and Su Jin's master and servant were about to come to the fork in the road leading to the Rose Garden at this time.

It was very cold, and Sang Xuanyue was wearing a big coat, so he forced the hand stove in his hand to Su Jin.

Because the ground was already covered with a finger's thick snowflakes, the two were worried about falling, so they walked very slowly.

There was a lantern hanging on the road not far away, and they were also carrying a lantern, so they were not afraid. It's just that it's really cold, and the tips of both noses are frozen red.

Su Jin asked, "Girl, is there a ground dragon in our new house?" ”

Sang Xuanyue was asked, "I don't know about this." ”

Su Jin sniffed, "The winter in the capital is too cold, and it is more difficult than Jinzhou and Huizhou. There is no earth dragon in the Rose Garden, so you can only burn a charcoal fire for heating, but the charcoal fire has smoke and dust...... I used to think that I would go to the new house today to see if there was a ground dragon, but I forgot all about it when I arrived. Girl, I'll go back and take a look, before the furniture enters the house, if you figure out the dragon, it's still too late. ”

Sang Xuanyue was about to reply with a "good", when at this time, there was a sound of broken footsteps behind him.

The snowflakes creaked as they were trampled, and the heat from the man's breath seemed to hit the back of her neck.

Sang Zhuyue suddenly had a creepy feeling, and when she turned around, she asked vigilantly, "Who is behind?" ”

"My cousin bought a house outside? When did you buy it? ”

The person who came spoke unhurriedly, but with an oppressive majesty. Sang Xuanyue's already tense mood was tightened after seeing that the person who came out of the shadows was Shen Tingjun, and the string tightened.

She wanted to question Shen Tingjun, is it too ungentlemanly for the dignified Wu Anhou to always listen to people's whispers behind people?

But she didn't dare.

can only reluctantly answer his question, "I bought the house, and it was only a few days after it was built, and now it is being repaired." ”
