70 No fate
Shen Tingjun asked where the new house was, but Sang Xuanyue was reluctant and didn't want to answer.
But she also knew that if Shen Tingjun really wanted to investigate something, it was just a matter of one sentence. There is no point in hiding it from him, it will only annoy him for nothing. Sang Xuanyue didn't want to test what he would do in anger, and although he was reluctant, he could only tell him the address of the house.
Shen Tingjun bowed his head lightly, his face was unfathomable, "What are you going to move in?" ”
"I don't know, it's probably after the year." Sang twisted her face away, hung her head, and unconsciously crushed the snow on the ground with her toes, feeling a little chaotic.
"In such a short time, can the house be repaired?"
"It's definitely not possible to repair it all, but it shouldn't be a problem to repair the yard where Qing'er and I live."
"Are you in a hurry to move out?"
Sang Xuanyue didn't know what Shen Tingjun meant by asking, she looked up at him. She was so cold, the tip of her nose was red, and her eyes were shiny. The watery peach blossom eyes shimmer with stars under the light of the lanterns, and they look bewitching and dazzling.
Shen Tingjun stared at her with burning eyes, his gaze was deep and dark, full of oppression. But under this sense of oppression, there seems to be a deep plunder and a strong possessiveness.
The ink was so thick, like an abyss with no bottom in sight. Because it is unknown, because it has never been explored, it is even more frightening.
Sang Xuanyue hurriedly avoided his gaze, and began to speak incoherently. "I'm not in a hurry to move out, I'm living well in Rose Garden now. It's just that you have to have your own place......"
"You're near." Shen Tingjun suddenly spoke.
Sang Xuanyue thought that he was hallucinating, and looked at him with wide peach blossom eyes in disbelief, "What did you say, Master Hou?" ”
"You're near...... Why are you so far away? Are you afraid of me? ”
Fear? Who can not be afraid of the unapproachable and eternally unfathomable Wu'anhou.
Sang Xuanyue's face was red and white, and he stood in place and didn't move a step.
Can't wait for her to arrive, Shen Tingjun snorted lightly and took two steps forward directly, this time the distance between the two was not too much for the next step.
Su Jin had already taken a few steps to the side, knowing that it was very undesirable for the girl to deal with the Hou Ye by herself, but this was the Marquis of Wu'an, the master of the entire Hou Mansion. He's in power, he's used to being in control, and if he wants to do something, there's nothing he can't do.
And judging from these few contacts, Wu Anhou ...... to his own girl
Su Jin was in turmoil and wanted to save the girl, but she didn't know what to do. She finally mustered up the courage and wanted to say, "It's too late", but Cheng Yi, who had been pretending to be an invisible person by Shen Hou's side, spoke first, "Girl, take a few steps to the side, don't affect Master Hou and your girl to talk." ”
Su Jin's scalp was numb, and she glanced at Shen Tingjun, her throat was congested, and she could only respond with a spit, "Okay, okay." ”
Su Jin and Cheng Yi walked to the leeward place on the other side, where they could see all the pedestrians on the main road. If someone comes, they will be the first to let you know.
Seeing what the two of them were doing, Sang Xuanyue's heart was slightly relieved, but when she raised her eyes, she saw Shen Tingjun close to her, he leaned over slightly, and his lips seemed to fall on her face.
Sang Xuanyue stepped back fiercely in fright...... She didn't retreat, and her waist was clamped.
Shen Tingjun said in a hoarse voice, "Cousin, beware." ”
Sang twisted the moon's face was red, and he struggled to get out of the crook of his arm. Fortunately, Shen Tingjun only looked at her for a moment before letting go of his hand.
After that, the two said something, and Sang Xuanyue was not impressed at all. Her whole body was very fluctuating, her head was swollen, and her heart was about to pop out of her throat in a panic.
She and Shen Tingjun have not had close contact, that time she was thrown off the horse by the bandit leader, and Shen Tingjun hugged her and rolled around twice. At that time, she was already conscious, but the situation of the two was too embarrassing, she didn't want to open her eyes and face such a complicated situation, so she could only continue to pretend to be unconscious.
At that time, he clamped her thin waist and hugged her tightly in his arms. He sniffed her scent, his gaze sweeping over every inch of her face.
For a long time after that, Sang Xuanyue could always feel the strength and heat of his waist, and he felt as if there was always breath on his face. She had been reluctant to do so for a long time, and her thoughts were in a mess.
But that was when she was unconscious, and everything could be fooled by her own ignorance. But now that it was night, she was awake, but he still hugged her unscrupulously and stared at her with such unscrupulous eyes......
That night, Sang Zhuyue didn't know how she walked back to the Rose Garden, she was delirious, her mind was chaotic, and it seemed to be stuffed with paste.
After washing and sitting in front of the vanity mirror to comb his long hair, Su Jin splashed out the footwashing water, and then stood behind Sang Xuanyue with a thoughtful look.
"Girl."
Sang Xuanyue said "um", still a little absent-minded, "What's wrong?" ”
"You and Hou Ye ......"
Sang twisted Yue's action of combing her hair paused in mid-air, and Su Jin took the comb in her hand and combed her long satin-like hair. The girl's hair was black and shiny, and it hung long and hung down to her waist. She has a slender and graceful figure, and her face is plump and beautiful.
She is still in her best years, but her heart is already old.
"Master Hou ...... you"
“…… I know what you mean. Sang twisted the moon for a long time before she spit out a sentence, her chest was very stuffy, and the emotions suppressed in her chest were complicated, but she had nowhere to speak. Her throat was also unspeakable, and her hands were anxiously pinching the corners of her clothes, exposing the chaos in her heart.
"He is Wu'anhou, if he really wants to do something, I'm afraid it is, I'm afraid it's ......" powerless to stop it.
"Girl, why don't we move out as soon as possible? Don't think about the new year, you can avoid a moment is a moment. What do you think, girl? ”
Sang Xuanyue said in a hoarse voice and said "Okay".
Su Jin's voice became cheerful, although she was pretending to be cheerful, in fact, her mood was heavier than that of Sang Xuanyue.
She is a bystander, and she sees the step-by-step contact between Hou Ye and the girl. The emotion in Hou Ye's eyes was so thick that he was afraid that he could not avoid it if they wanted to now.
But you can't just sit still.
The Sang family is a scholarly family, and their ancestors are famous. The girl herself is also full of poetry and books, and she is well versed in poetry etiquette and shame. Let the girl have no name and no point to follow the Hou Ye girl will not agree, but the Hou Mansion will not be able to tolerate a widowed clan woman.
Speaking of which, it's just the word "no fate".
Now that he had made a decision, Sang Xuanyue's complexion gradually regained his former composure.
She asked Su Jin to go out early the next morning, and informed the nurse to buy the finished furniture directly, and arranged her and Qing'er's yard as soon as possible, and she moved over as soon as possible.
"Girl, what about the Earth Dragon? Is it still shopped? Su Jin asked.
Sang Twisted Moon gritted her teeth, "Don't shop it first, after all, it will be spring soon, and it will be warm after spring." When we live in the past, it's not too late to spare time to shop again. ”
Su Jin responded "Okay", and the master and servant went to rest with their own thoughts.
However, the next day, Su Jin failed to go out as he wished.
It's just that the heavy snow has not stopped, from last night to this morning, and it is still raining overwhelmingly after breakfast.
The snow on the ground is knee-deep, and the snow is even more menacing than the last snow. Looking at this momentum, I don't know when I can stop, then it will be too difficult to go out to do errands.
Sang Xuanyue had to change her mind, "Then I'll go two days later, it's just two days late, and it won't hinder anything." ”
Su Jin saw the girl's forced smile, but she couldn't say anything.
The snow in the yard is still so difficult to clear, let alone on the street. It is difficult to carry furniture to the new house, not to mention that the new house must also be very strong after the snow, only with the three nurses, I don't know when I will be able to sweep a way.
Sang Xuanyue hurriedly joined the snow clearing team, but was driven back to the room by Dongxue and Su Xin.
She had no choice but to sit next to Qing'er, bored with a book to read, but in fact, her mind had already flown to the clouds.
Qing'er looked at her sister again, and found that her sister was still looking at the same page as before, and couldn't help but ask worriedly, "Sister, what's wrong with you, do you have something on your mind?" ”
"How can you ask that?" Sang Twist Yue laughed softly, and gently touched the top of her brother's hair with her palm.
Qing'er said, "Sister, don't hide it from me if you have something on your mind." Yesterday, when you and Sister Su Jin came back from outside, I thought you were a little distracted. It's just that my sister didn't say it, so I didn't ask. But this morning, my sister was still worried and hurried, and her eyebrows even twisted out a pimple. ”
Qing'er gestured on her sister's forehead and pursed her lips unhappily, "Look, my sister is frowning again." Sister, I'm already older, if there is anything you can say, let me share some of it for you. You don't hide everything in your heart, I'll worry about you. ”
Sang Twist Yue smiled, but her eyes were red. "Okay, my sister will tell you something."
"My sister is fooling me again." Qing'er looked lost, "Is my sister angry with the old lady?" Is it that the old lady doesn't like the dishes brought by her sister, and she makes her sister's face look good, doesn't she? If that's the case, let's move out, sister, I don't want you to continue to be wronged. ”
"No, not the old lady. The old lady liked the dishes we chose, and yesterday she said that we were 'hearty'. Sang Xuanyue tried to make a smile, "Sister is not unhappy because the old lady is unhappy, sister is...... It's homesick. When I was still in Jinju, every time the water turned into ice, my father would ask people to make ice lanterns all over the yard. I like ice lanterns, and at that time I was all over the yard, and although my father and mother made fun of me for being playful, they always accompanied me......"
As he spoke, he really shed tears, "Qing'er, I miss my father." ”
"I miss my father too, but I don't even know what they look like."
The sister and brother cried together, crying and crying and hugging each other.
A few maids in the courtyard heard the movement and hurriedly ran over, and saw that the sister and brother were full of tears. Su Xin was so anxious that he wanted to go over to persuade him, but Su Jin understood what was going on and beckoned them to step aside.
It's okay for a girl to cry, she always keeps everything in her heart, and if she is not sick, she will be sick.
The snow fell all day and began to light up in the evening.
In the evening, when the mulberry moon was about to rest, the snowflakes that had been drifting for a day and a night finally stopped.
Everything was quiet, and the inside of the house was lit up by the thick snowflakes outside. I don't know if it was because I cried during the day to vent my emotions, or because I didn't rest and was sleepy yesterday, Sang Zhuyue slept deeply, but fell into a drowsy sleep for a while.
But this night's dreams didn't stop.
In her dream, a man whose face could not be seen clearly appeared.
The man put his arms around her waist and rubbed his hands over her. That action color. Affectionate and ambiguous, Sang Twisting Yue couldn't help but tremble under his palm.
She struggled to see his face clearly, first saw Wang Wenju, and then Shen Tinglan, she always felt that these two people were wrong, so she saw Shen Tingjun again.
Sang Xuanyue woke up from the fright, sweating all over.
She felt so heavy that it was hard for her to breathe. When I looked down, I saw that I was covered with two thick quilts. And there was a hot soup lady at her feet, and a half-lit brazier in the house......
The cold wind blew in through a little crack by the window, and the sweat on Sang Xuanyue's body disappeared in just a moment.
She didn't dare to get out of bed, fearing that she would catch a cold again when she walked back and forth. He simply lifted the quilt, kicked the soup woman out, and then turned sideways to pill his arm, and fell asleep again after a long time.
……
It has only been two days since Shen Yuyao's ceremony, and the entire Wu'an Hou Mansion is so busy that people are on their backs.
Xu is to avoid suspicion, Xu doesn't want to make trouble for the old lady in this busy schedule, I don't know what kind of intention he has, Sang Xuanyue didn't go to Heyan Hall for the past two days.
Not only did she not go to Heyan Hall, but she didn't even go out of the gate of Rose Garden.
During this period, Zhou Baolu came to look for her again and said that he would take her out to choose clothes.
Shen Yuyao's and Lu Li Sang Twisting Moon was going to show up, she didn't want to participate, but Shen Yuyao didn't care about these unlucky things, she boasted that she had a good relationship with Sang Twisting Yue, so she personally went to Rose Garden to invite her. In addition, the old lady also said sincerely that she wanted her to witness her daughter's coming-of-age ceremony. Sang twisted the moon and couldn't push it over, and thought of the old lady and Shen Yuyao's hospitality, and finally responded.
Since he was going to attend Shen Yuyao's ceremony, he would definitely have to buy new clothes and jewelry, so Zhou Baolu came over to invite Sang Xuanyue to go out.
She also told Sang Xuanyue that she was able to show up on a "big occasion" this time, and she did a lot of work. If there is no her, Sang Xuanyue wants to show up in front of the nobles in the capital, which is tantamount to a fantasy. So Sang Twist Moon has this creation, thanks to her.
But Sang Xuanyue didn't think that Zhou Baolu had such a good intention, and Zhou Baolu was weird when she said this, and she still had a deep calculation in her eyes, which made Sang Xuanyue have to lift her heart.
Sang Xuanyue refused Zhou Baolu's invitation again, and no matter how Zhou Baolu coaxed her cousin to treat her this time, Sang Xuanyue was completely unmoved.
In the end, when Zhou Baolu walked out of the Rose Garden, her face was still ugly.
When she walked to the fork in the road, her face did not improve, and she even said fiercely, "Don't be ashamed of your face." I've given you a chance, but you didn't take it yourself. If you miss this time, if you lose your face in front of everyone next time, don't blame me, who is a cousin, for not giving you a choice. He spit out a sentence of hatred, "You forced me!" You brought it on yourself! ”
The person who followed Zhou Baolu this time was Brocade, and Brocade looked at his wife's hideous face, and he was also terrified in his heart. But thinking of Sang Twisting Moon again, she also felt that Sang Twisting Moon was pitiful, and on the other hand, she also felt that who let her provoke the third master for no reason?
Madame already had the intention of exchanging her for wealth, but Madame's means of thinking were more "gentle", which would only make her faceless in private. Sang twisted the moon well, while drinking the third master to hook up, and at the same time regarded his wife as a tiger and wolf beast. She didn't even dare to go to the street with her wife, forcing her to be cornered, so she could only take risks and think about Miss Yuyao's ceremony.
At this point, there is no way back.
Sang Xuanyue wanted to throw her face in front of everyone, which she brought on herself.
It's pitiful, but who made her make the wrong choice.
*
Finally came the day of Shen Yuyao and Lu Li.
The weather was really good on this day, the temperature was also high, and the sun made people warm and comfortable.
But because the snow was too thick a few days ago, the snowflakes have not melted, and now that the temperature is rising, there are patches of wet traces in the yard.
However, Wu'anhou Mansion does not have to worry about this situation.
Because in just two days, the Hou Mansion dispatched all the subordinates to clear all the snow in all the places that the guests would see.
It didn't go outside, but only piled up in a row of empty uninhabited courtyards at the back of the Wu'an Hou Mansion.
Therefore, as far as the eye can see, the Wu'an Hou Mansion is clean. Except for a few extraordinarily thick and tall trees, there were some snowflakes on them, which decorated the whole winter, and there was no trace of anything else.
It was still early, and Sang Zhuoyue went to the old lady's place early.
She boasted that she had come early enough, but the Hou Mansion and the whole family were one step ahead of her and had already gathered in the Heyan Hall.
Shen Yuyao leaned against the old lady and sat on the couch opposite the door with the old lady.
In the first position at the bottom left of the old lady sat Shen Tingjun, and his eyes kept falling on her after Sang Xuanyue walked into Heyan Hall.
And this was also the first time Sang Xuanyue had seen him since that night.
She saluted him in a regular manner, and there was no abnormality in the whole process, let alone the panic and apprehension that night was exposed in front of him. At this time, she was generous and dignified, and at first glance she looked like a well-bred lady.
Sang twisted the moon and saluted, Shen Tingjun said lightly, "Get up", and then lowered his eyelids slightly, and drank tea as if nothing had happened.
Next to Shen Tingjun was Shen Tinglan, and Zhou Baolu sat next to Shen Tinglan.
The expressions on the couple's faces were completely different after Sang Xuanyue entered the door. Shen Tinglan tried to pretend to be calm, and Zhou Baolu forced a smile.
And opposite the three of them, sat the second lady and his wife.
This is the first time Sang Xuanyue has seen the second master of Wu'an Hou's Mansion, he is thin and official, and he looks like a righteous appearance. And the second master served in the Yushitai, and he did the work of rectifying discipline and picketing hundreds of officials, and after a long time, he became more and more unkind.
Although he is not like Shen Tingjun's facial features, if you talk about temperament, there are three or five points similar.
Sang Xuanyue sat down at the head of the second lady, and exchanged a few words with the old lady, and the old lady couldn't take care of her.
Because the guests came to the door one after another, even a few masters had to go out to entertain guests.
The first to come were the clansmen of the Marquis of Wu'an.
Yes, there are still other people surnamed Shen in the Wu'an Hou Mansion, and there are very few people who have not produced five suits, and only three or two families remain. Most of the rest are out of Wufu, because the relationship is estranged, and they usually don't dare to trouble the Marquis of Wu'an too much.
And Shen Yuyao and Yousi on the ceremony chose the girl from the side branch of the Wu'an Hou Mansion. Shen Yuyao wanted to call her cousin.
After that, the old lady's maiden family, that is, Shen Yuyao's foreign family, also arrived.
The old lady's father and mother have long since passed away, and now her brother and sister-in-law are in charge. When the old lady was still in the boudoir, she was close to her sister-in-law, and now that decades have passed, the relationship has not been estranged, but more intimate.
And Shen Yuyao is also very close to her cousins from other families, and her cousin Xu Lingwei is her playmate since childhood, her best friend, and her praiser at the ceremony.
As for Zhengbin, you should invite respected elders. Originally, the old lady wanted to invite the princess to come over and suppress Shen Yuyao, but considering that the princess and Yao'er were of the same generation, she changed her mind and invited the eldest princess instead.
This eldest princess is the sister of today's in-laws, and now she is no longer in trouble. She and the old lady are close friends in the boudoir, as early as when the two were not out of the cabinet, the eldest princess came to find the old lady every time she went out of the palace, and now, both of them are grandmothers, but the relationship is still very close.
With this friendship, the old lady went to invite her in person, and the eldest princess had no reason not to come.
Seeing that the auspicious time was approaching, there were more and more guests in the Hou Mansion of Wu'an.
Although Sang Xuanyue came over, she was self-aware, and she didn't flatter and make friends with some nobles, she stood in the corner of the whole time, and the whole person was quiet.
was bored waiting, Sang Xuanyue suddenly saw Shuangli hurriedly coming over, and said something in the old lady's ear.
The old lady's expression has not changed, but Sang Zhuyue has had more contact with the old lady, and she can also tell from the old lady's calm face whether the old lady is happy or angry, indifferent, or secretly anxious.
For example, at this moment, Sang Xuanyue could see that the old lady was a little irritable.
It is true that when the old lady heard that Shuangli said that Prince Su was coming, her scalp suddenly became a little numb.
There are two reasons why the old lady's scalp is numb.
First, Prince Su himself has a bad reputation. Although he was a prince, he did not serve in the court seriously. All day long in the capital, he did mischief. It is a bit too much to say that he is acting nonsense, after all, the laws of the Qin Dynasty are strict, and the prince is guilty of the same crime as the common people, and Prince Su will not send the handle to the hands of the imperial historian if he is not stupid.
But this prince is really confused. He is especially taboo in women, even in men, and he is also the master who can pull people to mess around when he is interested. And regardless of time or place, often when you get drunk, you have to stage a reversal in public, or break your sleeves and split the peach.
In short, as long as he attends a banquet, the host family can't wait to send people to keep an eye on him at all times, in case he harms the maids or servants in the house.
If it's just a subordinate, the most fearful thing is that he will pounce on a guest and turn around, and he won't be able to explain to anyone when he turns back.
