225 Past Lives (9)
Shen Tingjun didn't speak, just sat silently and drank tea.
He seemed to think that what his mother said was boring, and Xu was still worried about his official duties during the day, and the whole person seemed to be indifferent and absent-minded.
Of course, the old lady didn't actually want her eldest son to help her solve problems, after all, this is a matter of three rooms. Besides, Da Lang is a single man, so let him meddle in this matter.
The old lady was just too uncomfortable, and it was not good to tell outsiders about it. And Mama Cui said that it was fair and fair, but in the end, she was biased towards San Lang from the bottom of her heart.
Only in front of Da Lang can she scold the little beast unscrupulously. After all, Da Lang pays attention to legal principles, and the fault in this matter lies with San Lang, even if this is a brother, Da Lang will not say good things for San Lang......
After all, the old lady scolded this time.
But after scolding, I had to help Saburo deal with the aftermath.
After all, the little daughter-in-law is really good, and she really likes it. And the couple still have Cheng'er in the ......
It is said that it is better to demolish ten temples than to destroy a marriage, if it is just because of this matter to watch their husband and wife go on a strange road, the old lady can't bear it.
Thinking that she would have to comfort Sang Xuanyue after that, the old lady was even more panicked. couldn't help but take San Lang out and scold her again, she was a little brute, which showed that she was really annoyed.
It was not until late in the day that the old lady became sleepy.
Shen Tingjun personally served his mother to sleep, and then walked out of Heyan Hall.
However, as usual, he should go directly to the front yard, but he stopped at the door of Heyan Hall, and couldn't help but look to the west, which was where the third room lived.
At this time, the lights in the rain pavilion were still bright, and it was obvious that the owner inside was not asleep. Standing here, I still seem to be able to hear the whispers of the maid over there, the sound of her intently turning the pages......
When Sang Xuanyue greeted the old lady on the second day, he was left by the old lady to speak privately.
The old lady didn't know how to speak, but there was no reason for this matter to drag on all the time. Dragged around and dragged a knot in the heart of the twisting moon, and it was more difficult to untie it later.
But some things are really hard to say, and the old lady opened her lips several times, but she did not say what she should say.
It was still Sang Xuanyue who was empathetic, maybe she saw the deep meaning of the old lady leaving her today - Shen Tinglan did the sin, only the couple suffered, why bother to implicate the innocent old lady and make her old man so embarrassed.
Sang Xuanyue opened his mouth and smiled: "If there is anything, you can tell me directly." Since I married into the Hou Mansion, you have always treated me generously. I serve you as my own mother, you treat me like my own daughter, and I am willing to listen to your words. β
When the old lady heard Sang Xuanyue's words, her heart suddenly became sour. Her eyes were also very sour, and tears were about to run out of her sockets.
The old lady finally opened her mouth.
She said, "Screw, San Lang and that Miss Shi ......."
When it came to that Miss Shi, the expression on the old lady's face was very indescribable.
Yesterday, she asked Mama Cui to go to Yan's house in person to give Miss Shi a thank you gift. Of course, part of the reason is that the "life-saving grace" has ended; Why didn't he see what kind of appearance and character the girl was, so that the bewitched Saburo forgot that there was a beautiful wife and young children at home, and he couldn't help but be moved by her.
The expression on Cui's face after coming back ...... It's hard to describe.
According to her, that Miss Shi is not only outstanding in appearance, but also really good at medicine. And maybe she was taken by her grandfather to practice medicine since she was a child, and she saw a lot of life and death, and there was a lot of compassion in the girl's temperament.
Of course, her compassion is from a high perspective looking down on the world. It is precisely because of the "high position of standing" that this girl is informal...... Worse still, it is disdain and contempt for secular rituals.
She is proud in her bones, disdainful of being in the same stream as the world, and even treats gold, silver and jewelry as dung.
Yesterday, for the sake of the old man next to Shen Tinglan's mother, the girl accepted the thank you gift from them. But he only said that the matter was over, and the rest did not have a word of politeness, but it was cold and cold like a fairy outside the sky, and he turned around and left directly.
Such a girl...... What did Saburo like about her?
Is it because she is as cold as a fairy? Or do you like her and don't know how to do it? Or do you like her noble character and don't go along with the world in general?
The old lady pondered for a night, and felt that San Lang must have taken a fancy to the girl's temperament.
After all, the more people lack something, the more they want.
First of all, San Langgui is the heir of the Hou Mansion, no matter whether his father is not there, he always has two brothers to support him. This raised his naΓ―ve temperament and ignorance of the sufferings of the world, and even more raised him to sometimes have a lot of contempt and contempt for power and wealth. But because of his background and knowledge since childhood, he actually knows that only power and wealth can make the family last for a long time, and only then can future generations not be burdened by the ordinary.
On the one hand, he dislikes power, and on the other hand, he has to chase power.
And at this time, a girl suddenly appeared who disdained all the secular rules and etiquette, could Saburo not be attracted?
What this girl has in her is exactly what he lacks the most. Whether it's the courage not to go along with the world, or the detached, cold state of looking at the world. San Lang is afraid that he is envious and admired......
The old lady's mind was racing, and many things turned in her mind. Immediately, she calmed down the manic depression in her heart and told the matter as it was.
It is not necessary to conceal the twisting, after all, as a couple who share the same bed, Saburo's thoughts, twisting must be the first to notice.
And from her cold appearance, it can be seen that what San Lang said in Heyantang before should have been said in front of her. In this way, it can be explained that he was completely indifferent to him going to live in the banquet house.
Screwed up, I was heartbroken by Saburo.
The old lady said that Miss Shi, and then she thought about it: "This girl doesn't look down on the world's children, and she is innocent with San Lang." β
Sang Xuanyue chuckled when she heard this, since the matter came to this, she didn't need to continue to hold back.
She said directly to the old lady: "Mother, the problem is never with that Miss Shi, but with San Lang." β
When it came to San Lang, the old lady was speechless again, "San Lang, ......"
The old lady reluctantly said a word for her son, "He is just a ghost for a while." β
When Sang Xuanyue heard this, his originally indifferent face suddenly became a little more stunned.
San Lang is obsessed, look, even the old lady admits that San Lang is moved by that girl.
Sang Xuanyue couldn't help but reddened her eyes and sobbed in a low voice. "Mother, he promised me before that he would be good to me for the rest of his life. He also said that he would not let me suffer a little grievance...... What is this now? Since I have someone else in my heart, make things clear to me, and I don't have to pester him. He was worried about others on the one hand, and he was reluctant to me on the other. What did he think of me? Do I have to be him, Shen Tinglan? β
The old lady hurriedly comforted: "It's all San Lang's fault, that bastard, that is, he is not in front of me, otherwise I will definitely break his dog's leg." He's a bastard, he breaks your heart and makes you cry for him. Just twist you to know that San Lang is not bad, he is not a greedy womanizer, he is ...... with the girl Nashi"
The old lady wanted to say "affectionate and polite", and wanted to say, "This may be Saburo's own unrequited love". But no matter what sentence it is, it aggravates Saburo's sin.
It's aggrieved enough, if she still adds fuel to the fire, isn't it going to break up the couple?
Moreover, this statement is too hurtful.
San Lang and Miss Shi are affectionate and polite, so what is the twist? She is obviously Saburo's wife, and she is the only woman Saburo should cherish in his heart.
The old lady had a thousand words in her heart, but in the end she couldn't say a word.
She faced the sobbing Sang Xuanyue, and only felt that San Lang was really guilty this time.
This is why he wants the imperial examination, and he can't be separated, let alone distracted, otherwise, he won't beat her if he doesn't beat her.
The old lady was silent and sad for a while, but it was only for a while. Sang Xuanyue quickly cleaned up the expression on her face, and returned to her gentle and virtuous appearance.
She said: "Mother, Cheng'er is still doing morning classes in the room, if you don't have anything to do here, I'll go back to take care of Cheng'er first." β
The old lady replied again and again, "Okay." β
Sang Xuanyue also got up and said goodbye to the old lady, and then Huang Ruo walked out of Heyan Hall with a smile.
When Sang Xuanyue's figure disappeared outside Heyan Hall, the old lady patted the table and said to Mama Cui, "What's going on!" This San Lang, this time he did a big sin! β
Time is fast and fast, full is slow, and soon it will be the eve of the imperial examination.
Shen Tinglan also said goodbye to the banquet master and the brothers, and returned to the Hou Mansion to prepare for the exam.
Sang Xuanyue specially asked the old lady what she had prepared for Shen Tingjun's imperial examination earlier.
As soon as the old lady saw that she was still busy with Saburo, the heart she had been carrying was also slightly relaxed.
She was busy and talked about the preparations she had made during Shen Tingjun's imperial examination earlier. In the end, she also cautiously told Sang Twisting Yue that if she was troublesome, she would ask Mama Cui to prepare the things and send them to the third room together.
Sang Zhuyue smiled lightly when she heard this, and then said: "It's not troublesome when the time comes, besides, there are many maids and wives in the yard, I just move my mouth, and they are the ones who really do things." Mother, don't worry, I'll go back and get things ready, don't delay San Lang and go to the tribute court. β
"Well, then you hurry up."
The day before Shen Tinglan's scientific expedition, he went to find his eldest brother to learn from him. He came back late that day, and when he arrived at the room, Sang Xuanyue had already fallen asleep.
The next day, Shen Tinglan entered the Tribute Courtyard in the afternoon, and for the next nine days, he stayed in the Tribute Courtyard for scientific research, until nine days later, the door of the Tribute Courtyard was newly opened, and Shen Tinglan, who was full of fatigue, was taken back to the mansion by his subordinates.
The results of Chunfu also came out quickly, and Shen Tinglan easily won the top three.
After that, he was preparing for the palace test, and this time Shen Tinglan was even more high-spirited and was named Tanhualang.
In the Hou Mansion of Wu'an, there was a champion Lang of six yuan and the first, and then there was a Lang Yi and handsome Tanhua Lang, and for a time the Hou Mansion ushered in the welcome and favor of everyone, and the people who gave gifts were endless.
Shen Tinglan was ordered to be compiled by the Hanlin Academy, and when he returned to participate in the Xinglin Banquet, he was going to go on an errand.
These days, he has to meet with many students to meet the teacher, and he has to prepare to participate in many banquets with Zhang Luo. There are also relatives and friends from the Hou Mansion who have come to say goodbye, and he himself has to go to the banquet where to thank the teacher for his years of teaching......
It's really too busy to get out of the way, and I have to get drunk every time before I go home.
On this day, Shen Tinglan was drunk as usual, and he waited until it was too late before he returned to the house.
The old lady hadn't slept at this time, and when she heard that San Lang had finally returned home, she hurriedly asked someone to bring the drunk to Heyan Hall.
Then, two cups of sobering soup were poured down, and his face was wiped a few times with a cold wet towel, and the chaotic and ignorant Shen Tinglan finally showed some signs of soberness.
He looked at his mother, who was sitting on the top, and said, "Mother, what are you doing here?" β
"What do I do? I'm here to keep you sober. You little brute, you only care about the people outside, but you go back to your room to see what the people in your room look like now. β
Shen Tinglan was even more stunned when he heard this, and he reflexively opened his mouth and said, "Screw? Isn't it good to stay in the room? What's wrong with screwing? β
Seeing that the old lady's face was a little solemn, and her brows were frowning fiercely, Shen Tinglan was clever, and her still chaotic thoughts suddenly became clear.
He shuddered, and he couldn't sit still, so he stood up and was about to run to the third room. But as soon as he stepped away, he was stopped by the old lady again.
Shen Tinglan was anxious: "Mother, if you have anything to say tomorrow, I'll go back to the room first to see if it's twisted." By the way, you haven't told me yet, what the hell is wrong with the twisting? Is she sick and unwell, or is someone angry with her? β
The old lady sneered: "Now that you know that you care about it, why did you go earlier." You little brute, who will give your daughter-in-law a bad time, it's not your own sin. You, you, you're going to me and your daughter-in-law to death. β
When Shen Tinglan heard this, he felt even more inexplicable. Why did he get angry with his mother and screw?
Yes, he is busy with the imperial examination and entertainment these days, and he is drunk all day long, and he really lacks care for his mother and twisting. However, he has been busy for a while, and in two days, he will officially take up his post on an errand, and there will not be so many messy things.
When Shen Tinglan said this, the old lady became more and more angry. She pointed at her son's head and said angrily, "Who told you this? You are busy socializing, this is barely a serious matter, your daughter-in-law and I are not unreasonable people, and we will not be angry with you for this. But you shouldn't have had such an unsightly mind. β
Shen Tinglan was stunned: "Mother, can you speak directly?" I'm all dizzy from you. What do you mean by being unsightly? Where did I get to see people's minds? β
