One

The hall was silent, so quiet that even the sound of breathing could be heard.

I only heard Lao Xing continue: "The eldest lady is in the hall. The old lady is also there. Fourth Miss, please come in. ”

Rings and skirts. If nothing else, in the blink of an eye, the fourth lady will appear at the door of the hall.

Nanyun stopped his chopsticks and looked at a glass screen in the distance. However, out of the corner of his eye, he was paying close attention to the entrance of the hall.

Mrs. Shen's face was extremely nervous.

Shen Wanjin quietly took a sip of wine.

Only Aunt Lian, the corners of her mouth faintly, revealed a hint of imperceptible sneer.

Nanyun looked at Shen Qingluo.

Shen Qingluo looked calm and was giving Bao'er vegetables.

Nagumo thought it was strange.

Miss Four is outside, why, no one will invite her to lunch?

Suddenly, the fourth lady smiled faintly: "I still have something to do, so I won't go in." Lao Xing, you help me give this to the eldest sister. ”

I could only hear Lao Xing's reply: "Yes, yes." Fourth Miss, please rest assured, the old slave will definitely hand it over to the eldest lady. ”

The fourth lady said very gently: "Very good." Tell my dad and I'll go back in the afternoon. ”

Lao Xing was stunned: "Fourth Miss, why do you go back?" Not staying an extra day? ”

The fourth lady sighed slightly and did not answer.

The dress was still fluttering, and the footsteps were fading away. Obviously, this unpopular Fourth Miss has gone far.

Nagumo suddenly felt sad.

He really wanted to rush out to see if this fourth lady was the woman who played the piano in the small pavilion.

But, obviously, he couldn't.

Lao Xing cautiously walked in with a long green cloth package in both hands.

"Miss," Lao Xing came to Shen Qingluo, "This is what the fourth lady entrusted me to give to you." ”

Shen Qingluo was noncommittal and did not reach out to pick it up.

"Miss?" Lao Xing shouted again.

Shen Qingluo slowly took it and put it on the table.

The sound of "bang" is like a wooden product.

Shen Qingluo slowly opened the green cloth package.

It turned out to be a piano.

Nagumo was relieved. It turned out that the fourth lady who delivered the piano was indeed the woman who played the piano just now. I just don't understand why she would give her piano to Shen Qingluo.

That piano, antique, looks like it's been around for some years.

Shen Qingluo plucked the strings casually, and the strings immediately emitted a moving rhythm like mountains and flowing water.

It's extraordinary. Even Shen Wanjin, who didn't know the slightest rhythm, couldn't help but praise: "Good piano!" ”

A good piano must first have perfect sound quality and excellent workmanship. This instrument, both in terms of material and strings, is superb.

Nagumo has a bit of research on the lyre. He could see at a glance that this piano was made by the famous self-made violinist Lei Wei.

Could it be "Spring Thunder Qin"?

"Fourth sister!" Shen Qingluo suddenly walked out quickly.

At the entrance of the hall, the beauty is gone, only the empty pavilion, where is there still the trace of the fourth lady?

Shen Qingluo turned around silently, slowly, still wrapped the guqin, turned her face to Shen Wanjin and said, "Dad, excuse me, return the qin to the fourth sister." I will say that I have received my heart, but I must not accept such a precious gift. ”

Shen Wanjin said with a smile: "Since it is a gift from your fourth sister, you can accept it." It's also her heart. ”

Shen Qingluo said: "As the saying goes, the sword is given to a confidant, and the pink is given to a beautiful woman." All things in the world are suitable for the good one. The fourth sister is good at music and rhythm, and she loves the guqin the most, and it is the treasure that meets the master and complements each other. She endured to give her love and gifts, which shows her hospitality. The daughter admits her feelings, but she can't obey her fate. ”

Aunt Lian interjected: "Since the eldest lady doesn't accept it, the master shouldn't be strong." ”

Shen Wanjin glared at her fiercely.

Aunt Lian lowered her head in fright.

Shen Wanjin continued to persuade: "Don't you still understand your fourth sister's intentions? She wants to make it up to you. ”

Shen Qingluo said categorically: "She has never owed me anything, how can she make up for it." The past is gone, and my daughter has long forgotten it. Dad doesn't have to mention it again. ”

Seeing his daughter like this, Shen Wanjin had no choice but to instruct Lao Xing: "Put away the piano, and you will send it to the fourth lady personally." Bring the kindness of the eldest lady. ”

Lao Xing nodded: "Yes." ”

Two

The meal was not interesting, but it was Shen Wanjin's words after the meal that made Nanyun more interested.

Shen Wanjin said with emotion: "I, Shen Wanjin, have been in business for a lifetime, but it's a pity that I only have one son, who is still young, and I can't share half of the burden, and I will do everything myself." I'm getting older, and I can't just relax. ”

Mrs. Shen smiled and said, "Don't you still have a son-in-law?" A son-in-law and a half-son. ”

Shen Wanjin patted Nanyun's shoulder and said with a smile: "Yes, I still have a son-in-law." The other three sons-in-law probably can't be pointed out, only you, but you can help me. ”

Nanyun said casually: "Father-in-law, if you need it, your son-in-law is willing to provide advice." ”

Shen Wanjin laughed: "Good son-in-law! Are you really willing to help me? ”

Nanyun said: "The little son-in-law is willing to listen to the dispatch." ”

Shen Wanjin smiled: "Okay, then, next month, how about you go to Huguang for me?" ”

Mrs. Shen hurriedly said, "You old fool! Daughter and son-in-law, the young couple are newly married, how do you let your son-in-law go far away? ”

Shen Wanjin suddenly realized: "Yes, I'm confused." It's never too late to go later. ”

Nanyun said: "The big husband is ambitious in all directions, how can he be nostalgic for his children!" Father-in-law despite orders. ”

Shen Wanjin smiled: "Let's talk about it later." Your main task now is to add me a little grandson. When I have a little grandson, I will leave all the business to you. Your mother-in-law and I are happy to enjoy pure happiness. ”

Nan Yun's heart moved, and he turned his face to look at Shen Qingluo.

Shen Qingluo was talking to Yuan'er, as if she hadn't heard it.

"When I have free time, I go to the shop more often to get familiar with the business." Shen Wanjin instructed freely.

Nanyun looked humbly accepting, and his head was still thinking about that sentence.

"Add a little grandson, and I'll leave the business to you."

This sentence has a great attraction for Nanyun.

Nanyun knew that the Shen family's business was all over the Central Plains, from silk to tea and spices, from medicine to antique red sandalwood, and it was difficult to describe it in detail.

The shop in Chang'an is just a small business.

If there is a chance to get involved in the Shen family's industry, then what a good opportunity for him, a layman who knows nothing about business.

The huge industry of the Shen family is managed by Shen Wanjin alone, no wonder Shen Wanjin is powerless.

It can be seen that Shen Wanjin deliberately wants to let himself take over the family business.

As long as he is worthy of his trust.

Three

The afternoon sun is the hottest time of the day.

Shen Qingluo sat in the carriage on the way back, closed her eyes and recuperated, and didn't want to say a word. But Yuan'er and Xiaorong, who had a rare opportunity to go out, lifted a corner of the curtain, secretly looked at the bustling street outside, chattered excitedly, and kept talking.

In my ears, there was a pleasant sound of horse bells. Shen Qingluo knew that it was her husband Nanyun's horse, and she was not far away.

Shen Qingluo felt a burst of relief.

Through the gap in the curtain, she saw that Nanyun was riding on a tall jujube red horse, just like the day she married her.

The difference is that at that time, her heart was like water, and there were no waves. And today, like all young girls with spring, she is full of yearning for love.

She didn't dare to hope that her husband would fall in love with her.

She only hopes that in this life, she can be like this, with him by her side, as now.

She thought of her mother's instructions to her: "Bear him a son, and his man will be yours." As for his heart, it doesn't matter at all in whom. ”

Child? Shen Qingluo's heart throbbed.

Can she have children too?

She couldn't tell her mother that until now, her husband hadn't touched her.

As for his heart, she didn't even dare to think about it.

It was already a blessing for her that he was willing to marry her.

Xiao Rongwu pointed at ease: "Look, that's our Ruifutang Pharmacy!" That's our silk village! Miss, that shop, look, the signboard of that shop, or you wrote it yourself! ”

Shen Qingluo couldn't help but smile and looked in the direction of Xiao Rong's finger.

"Purple Rain Pavilion". Yes, it is these words, thick pen and ink, vigorous and powerful, and there is no indication that they are from the daughter's handwriting. An antique plaque, at the moment, is hanging upright above the store. The father said that he had opened a new antique shop and lacked a sign, so since his daughter could write well, there was no need to trouble outsiders.

Of course, this is also what Shen Wanjin means to show off. Although the eldest daughter is not good-looking, when it comes to calligraphy and painting, she dares to be comparable to everyone.

Shen Qingluo said softly: "Don't make a fuss. What's so strange, your uncle's words, that's what is good. ”

Yuan'er's face turned red for no reason, and in her heart, sweet, as if boasting, was a man from her own family.

Shen Qingluo saw that the carriage was about to gallop past the "Purple Rain Xuan", and suddenly said, "Xiaorong, tell the carriage to stop." ”

Xiao Rong immediately stuck out his head and shouted, "Stop!" ”

The groom immediately grabbed the reins: "Phew! ”

The carriage came to a halt.

Nagumo asked strangely, "What's wrong?" ”

Xiao Rong stretched out his head and said, "Miss, let's take a look at 'Ziyuxuan'." ”

Nanyun smiled: "Coincidentally, I also have this intention. ”

Xiao Rong quipped: "This is called 'a little bit of understanding'." ”

Shen Qingluo put on a veil and said, "Just your poor mouth." Don't help me down yet. ”

Xiao Rong hurriedly helped Shen Qingluo get out of the car.

The Tang Dynasty is open, and it is not unusual for women to go out.

Shen Qingluo's feet had just touched the ground, and before she could stand firmly, suddenly, something unexpected happened.

A fat big cat, who didn't know where to come out, made a "meow" sound, and pounced on Shen Qingluo with its teeth and claws.

Shen Qingluo was caught off guard and exclaimed in surprise, the big cat had already slashed across her face and grabbed her hair fiercely.

Nanyun was taken aback, stepped forward quickly, grabbed the big cat, and threw it far away.

The big cat grinned fiercely and stared at Shen Qingluo as if looking at a good meal.

"Whose feral cat!" The groom roared, waving a whip in his hand, waving, driving away the big cat.

Shen Qingluo was so shocked that she leaned on Nanyun's arms and cried in a low voice.

Nanyun patted her on the back lovingly and said softly, "Don't be afraid, everything has me." ”

Nagumo felt that the woman in his arms was trembling with fright.

In the end, she is a woman, and she is timid.

Shen Qingluo completely lost her usual calm, hugged Nanyun hard, and said in a loud voice: "Cat! Cat! ”

Nanyun said softly, "It's already gone." It's okay. ”

Nanyun picked up the trembling Shen Qingluo and got into the carriage: "I'll accompany you, okay?" "That look was like holding a baby.

Yuan'er looked at all this coldly and didn't say a word.
