Shen Tinglan returned home, but he couldn't stay in the house seriously for two days.

Because the day of spring is getting closer and closer.

Not to mention that there are many students from the state capital who have taken the exam in the capital, and there are many people who can be friends. And many of them may be his fellow subjects later, or even the same year. Now that I have met early, I can continue to intersect after leaving some contacts.

Then there is Shen Tinglan's apprenticeship under the door of Master Yanzi, and all his knowledge is taught by Master Yan himself. The closer the spring season gets, the more Shen Tinglan has to hurry up and work hard. So, he only stayed in the house for two days, and then he had to move to live with Yanfuzi.

In fact, it stands to reason that Shen Tingjun, as Shen Tinglan's brother-in-law, is a veritable six-yuan and first, and it is not impossible for him to guide his younger brother at this stage of the final sprint.

But once Shen Tingjun took on a heavy responsibility, he was the Dali Temple of the Imperial Court. Every day when he opens his eyes, there are countless files waiting for him to deal with, and he may not be able to spare that space.

Again, it is also because the brothers' academic philosophies are actually different. Many of the philosophies of the sages recognized by Shen Tingjun are actually dross in the eyes of the banquet master and his disciples.

The academic philosophies of the two are incompatible, which leads to the fact that Shen Tingjun can only give guidance within the scope of his ability, such as the temperament and preferences of the invigilators in this world. Others, but they don't help much.

Let's go back to the place where Shen Tinglan was going to feast on his master, because he knew that his son was going to be busy this time, even if the old lady wanted to keep her son at home for two more days, she couldn't say it.

After all, compared with his son's future, a temporary reunion is of little use.

Again, since her son has arrived in the capital, she really wants to see her in the future, she just needs to send someone to pass the word, or she will personally go to the banquet master's house. Although the left and right families are farther away, they have never left the capital, which is ten million times better than thinking about their son but not seeing them before.

The old lady did her own ideological work, and came to persuade Sang to twist the moon again. But to her surprise, Sang Xuanyue was very calm and did not show any reluctance.

The old lady thinks this is very strange, after all, their husband and wife have the best relationship, and they have been reunited for so long, shouldn't you be able to leave me, you can't give up on me, and I can't do without you? How do you look at it, there is no reluctance at all?

Sang Xuanyue had her own excuse to fool the old lady, so she said solemnly: "A momentary love between children and daughters is nothing, compared with these, of course, the future of the husband is the most important." ”

The old lady agreed with this, but when these words came out of Sang Xuanyue's mouth, she didn't feel right how she listened to it. And she boasts that she knows Sang Twisting Yue well, her expression is too calm, this ...... Wrong.

The old lady always had a subtle feeling in her heart, but she didn't think much about it, she just thought that she couldn't compare to the young people, and the older she was, the more she couldn't see it.

Thinking that her son's future was at stake, the old lady didn't say anything else, but only asked people to prepare some food and some verdant vegetables, and prepared to let Shen Tinglan take them to Yan's house later.

Don't look down on these vegetables, but in today's ice and snow, they are really expensive.

This thing is still produced on Sang Xuanyue's dowry Zhuangzi - her brother Sang Fuyue picked up a big leak and bought 2,000 acres of land in the capital for her sister as a dowry, and a hot spring was found on a small hill in clinker.

The hot springs are not large, but there are only two baths in total. However, the area around the hot springs was covered with Zhuangzi, which was carefully protected and planted with vegetables. So, there is this good thing that in winter, the price is comparable to gold.

Although it is now spring, all kinds of wild vegetables have grown, and the vegetables seem to be worthless. But before the seasonal vegetables come down, this thing is always expensive, and it is absolutely worth taking it out as a gift.

The old lady discussed with Sang Xuanyue, and gave the things to be given to the banquet master's family.

In fact, I have already solemnly sent a trip during the New Year's Festival, and now it is only a month away from the New Year, so there is no need to make so much fanfare.

It's just that Shen Tinglan studied under the door of Master Yan, and the attitude of the family was more cautious, so that Master Yan could take more care of Shen Tinglan.

After getting these things, Shen Tinglan was also ready to go out. It was at this time that Sang Xuanyue suddenly spoke, "You said yesterday that the girl Shi who treated you is also living in Yanfu now. Do you think my mother and I need to prepare some thank-you gifts for her? ”

The old lady was surprised and asked, "What Miss Shi?" How come I've never heard of it? ”

When the old lady heard that this was her son's life-saving benefactor, and now she was treating Mrs. Yan's head illness in the banquet mansion, she immediately said: "I should prepare some thank-you gifts for that girl, she has a great kindness to San Lang." ”

Sang Xuanyue didn't have time to speak, but Shen Tinglan said: "You don't have to be so troublesome." Miss Shi has a hearty temperament and is not informal, and I am quite compatible with Miss Shi. I have thanked her many times, and my mother is cautious in giving thanks, but it seems to be outlandish. It's up to me to convey the thanks of my mother and twist, and I really don't have to prepare a thank you gift. ”

The old lady was obedient and listened, and immediately felt that something was wrong.

She couldn't help but look at Mama Cui next to her, was she delusional, how did she feel that San Lang and Miss Nashi had a very close relationship?

Mama Cui's brows couldn't help frowning slightly.

She naturally believes that Saburo, who she has watched grow up with her own eyes, has no outside intentions, and is not one of those who will come nonsense.

But Saburo's words really didn't sound appropriate.

He not only praised the girl many times, but also said that he had a contract with the girl...... The third lady is still here. As a married man, you said that you had a contract with an unmarried girl, how could you get by by screwing your face?

Mama Cui raised her eyes and looked over, and saw Sang Xuanyue sitting quietly with her head down. She was holding a handkerchief in her hand, and at this time, she was looking at the embroidery on the handkerchief, and she didn't seem to hear Shen Tinglan's words at all.

However, the third lady is not deaf, and the third master is so loud, how can she not hear it?

I'm afraid that the third lady is also wronged, and I'm afraid that I will shed tears when I look up, so I pretend to be stupid and want to save each other's face?

Mama Cui's mind was racing, and many things turned in her mind.

She cast a look at the old lady, and the old lady followed her line of sight and saw Sang Xuanyue sitting quietly with her head down.

The old lady was suddenly distressed, and she glared at her third son fiercely. Then he said very toughly: "Our Hou Mansion hairpin family is the most disciplined and desolate." Since you have received favors from others, there is absolutely no reason for us not to repay them. In this way, I will ask Mama Cui to go with you in person and thank that Miss Shi in person. ”

Shen Tinglan felt that there was no need to go through such a big effort, he had already told his mother that Miss Shi was informal, and she didn't care about these things at all. It's just that his mother's eyes were vicious, so that Shen Tinglan had to hold back what he wanted to say.

His intuition told him that it was better to follow his mother at this time, otherwise his mother would be really angry and would not have his good fruit to eat.

But why his mother suddenly changed her face, Shen Tinglan couldn't figure it out. For a while, he was very distressed, so he could only whisper again and say, "The master has given enough money for the consultation, and Miss Shi has also accepted it." This is the end of this matter, so there is no need to go out of my way to thank you, right? ”

The old lady glared again: "What the banquet master gave was his, and what the mother gave was given by the mother." How can this be confused? Okay, don't worry about this, leave it all to Mama Cui, and you can just focus on your imperial examination. ”

Shen Tinglan let out an "oh" twice, then looked up to the sky and sighed, and said one word helplessly, "Okay." ”

After deciding the matter, Sang Xuanyue and Shen Tinglan went back to Tingyu Pavilion together to get Shen Tinglan's luggage.

On the way, Shen Tinglan couldn't stop chattering: "I don't know what's wrong with my mother, I've told her everything, Miss Shi has the demeanor of a hermit." She is informal, and she doesn't like those blockages the most...... Forget it, I'll explain it to Miss Shi myself later. ”

Shen Tinglan chattered, but Sang Zhuyue didn't hear it.

She looked at the lake in the distance, and there were microwaves on the surface of the lake.

A few days earlier, the ice on the lake was three feet thick, but it was only three or two days before the ice melted into water.

It was just the right morning and the lake was shining with golden light. The blue waves rippled, rippling in circles. The willow trees have also bloomed their buds, and the birds and finches have begun to chirp, but the mulberry moon is as if forgotten in winter, and the ice and snow are as cold as the surrounding body.

The husband and wife entered the Tingyu Pavilion and went to busy their affairs.

And in the Heyan Hall, watching their husband and wife go hand in hand, the old lady finally couldn't help but scold, "This rebel! ”

Mama Cui said a fair word: "Don't be angry first, the third master has no outside intentions." ”

The old lady said angrily: "I know better than him whether he has an outside heart or not." ”

If you want to say that San Lang has the heart to take a concubine or marry another person, the old lady dares to say categorically, it must be not.

After all, Saburo has read the books of sages and sages, and knows what to say and do as a gentleman. And he promised her that he would be a couple for the rest of his life before he married the moon. Now that she has made a promise, the old lady believes that Saburo will not break her promise easily.

But between his words, there were many words of praise and closeness to the Nashi girl.

If this is to say, Saburo has no thoughts in his heart, it is absolutely impossible.

He specified that he had taken a fancy to a certain aspect of the character or trait of the Nashi girl, or simply liked the other party's appearance......

I have to admit that he was so moved by this, so he affirmed her again and again.

Maybe he didn't even realize it, this was a kind of heartbeat.

Maybe he realized it, but out of the inferior nature of people, he automatically and consciously made excuses for this kind of "good feeling" that could not be declared. Therefore, he blamed it on his deed with Shi Nanxing.

However, no matter how well the cover is, it cannot be denied that he is moved by Shi Nanxing and betrays him.

The old lady's chest hurt angrily, "This rebel, how can he twist it like this!" He personally asked to marry him, and after marrying into our Hou Mansion, he was filial to my wife. She gave birth to Cheng'er for him, and when he was not in the house, she took care of all the chores in the three rooms, and she didn't let him worry about it anymore. This rebel, is he worthy of doing this? ”

Mama Cui said a word for Shen Tinglan against her will, "The third master's designation is not intentional. ”

"Not intentionally? Hehe, if it really wasn't intentional, you should draw a line as soon as possible and have no contact with that Shi girl. It's good for him to protect the girl with all his heart, knowing that the girl lives in the banquet mansion, and he doesn't mention the matter of avoiding suspicion. ”

Cui Mama reluctantly said: "Doesn't the third master need to feast on the master to help with homework, compared with the imperial examination, everything else can be put aside first, and then mentioned later." ”

"I can let this matter go, but where to twist it, if I leave it like this again, I'm afraid something will happen sooner or later."

mentioned Sang Xuanyue, Mama Cui couldn't help but think of the picture of her sitting quietly with her head down. To be honest, Mama Cui is also quite distressed.

Although this girl is a high marriage, when she first married into the house, she was not optimistic. But it turns out that the girl who came out of the scholarly family, she is really good.

She is sensible, filial to her mother-in-law, kind to her sister-in-law, and never treats her subordinates harshly.

It can be said that up and down in this house, there is no one who does not like the third lady.

If it is said that the third lady had a low status earlier, she had to be low and small in this mansion, then she found her biological brother and turned around and became the sister-in-law of the third grade, but no one saw her arrogant than before, let alone presumptuous, but more cautious, low-key and humble than before.

Just ask such a good girl, who wouldn't like it?

Maybe God couldn't see that this girl's life was going too smoothly, so he poured a basin of cold water on her head...... The third master, if she is the party concerned, I am afraid that she will be broken at this time.

Mama Cui thought for a while and said, "For today's plan, we still have to appease the third lady first." The third master's scientific examination is imminent, even if there is a big matter, it is not good for him to be distracted by this. But where is the third lady, if the third lady is allowed to put this matter in her heart, there will be a gap between the husband and wife, and even if they are reconciled later, there will be a seam in the middle, and it will no longer be as perfect as ever. ”

The old lady also understands this truth, but on the premise that she knows that her son is wrong, she will not scold and punish her son, but let the woman be more tolerant and considerate. Such a conscience-losing thing, to be honest, the old lady was worried that after saying certain things, she would go to hell and suffer retribution after she died.

But for the sake of Saburo's family, there are some things she knows she can't do, but she has to do it.

The old lady was really angry, she couldn't catch San Lang, and after Shen Tingjun returned home in the evening, the old lady grabbed her eldest son and complained.

Naturally, she would not scold her eldest son angrily, after all, she was also a little panicked with Da Lang's cold face.

Again, there is a debtor and a master, this matter is San Lang's fault, and it has nothing to do with Da Lang. She scolded Da Lang for no reason, isn't that unreasonable.

The old lady told San Lang about the bastard things that San Lang had done, and carefully told Da Lang about it. In the end, he was still angry, and said viciously: "Let me go and clean up the aftermath for him, this is also fortunate that he is my son, otherwise I will kill him." But I'm also angry that this little brute is my son, and he's so embarrassed of my face! ”
