Shen Hong was stunned for a moment, his eyes looked at him slightly, he didn't expect him to ask about the details carefully.

Both of them looked at each other a little.

"It's like that in the morning."

"You're proper, just, well, yourself, relieved." Lin Piao was about to collapse, oh my God, what was he talking about.

But, but, Shen Hong should be able to understand what he meant, right?

Lin Piao looked over and found that Shen Hong was looking up at him.

Oh my God, a meteor will kill him, and he can't see anything in this look, do you understand it or not?

Lin Piao didn't want to go on any more, his face was going to be completely ripe if he continued to talk about it in detail, he quickly stood up and walked out: "The fire is too big, it's so hot, I'll go out to breathe." ”

Walking out of the room and being swept away by the cold outside, Lin Piao felt that his face was not so hot.

He thought he was quite thick-skinned, but now he realized that he was overestimating himself.

When Shen Hong came out, he had already tidied up his clothes, and he didn't mention it again: "Go to the house and rest, I'm next door." ”

Lin Piao nodded: "Yes." ”

The two said goodbye, Lin Piao returned to the house, the firewood had been burned out, the charcoal fire was burned through, a red basin, diffusing heat, Lin Piao looked at everything in the house, this charcoal basin and a few stools, except for one Shen Hong, everything was reminding him of what happened just now.

Lin Piao patted his head, thinking that this matter could be passed, and it was useless to think about it, it was just a small episode in life, not to mention that Shen Hong didn't understand anything, and it was embarrassing Shen Hong.

Lin Piao went to bed, and on the second day, they got up early in the morning, and when Lin Piao saw Shen Hong, the first sentence was extremely high-pitched: "All year round, smooth and smooth!" ”

Shen Hong stood under the eaves and looked at him with a smile: "Good luck, good luck, rich resources." ”

They got up and dressed up, and naturally wanted to go back to the Shen Mansion, leaving a piece of silver for the dumb girl, which was regarded as a little luck for the New Year, and they returned to the Shen Mansion, taking advantage of the fact that it was still early, and gathered with the family for breakfast.

The second aunt saw Lin Piao coming back to the yard: "You're back, where did you go?" If you don't come back, we won't be waiting for you for breakfast. ”

Lin Piao smiled: "I've waited hard, I went out for a walk in the morning." ”

The second aunt said: "Shen Hong doesn't know where to go, and he has specially prepared a lot, and it is estimated that we will not be able to finish eating." ”

"I saw him on the way back, I guess I'll come over in a while, and besides, I can't look at Erzhu if I can't finish eating, I hope that Shen Hongna is counting on the wrong person."

As soon as Erzhu heard this, he straightened up his chest and patted his chest: "It's still the little sister-in-law who understands me best." ”

Xiao Yuejuan'er and Ergou sat next to them, silently bowing their heads to eat snacks or drink tea, unable to say a word.

Ergou didn't know when the sister-in-law went out and when she came back, but there was a high probability that it had something to do with Shen Hong.

Xiao Yue and Juan'er were the first to get up in the yard, they didn't see their sister-in-law get up in the morning, and the sister-in-law didn't come back with them at night, so they fell asleep first when they were sleepy, and they didn't hear the movement of the sister-in-law coming back at night, I'm afraid they didn't come back last night.

How dare they say it, they are only silent, thinking that this is a secret that only they can see, and looking at the little sister-in-law's smiling appearance, it can be seen that Brother Shen Hong did not bully him, and their hearts are much more relieved.

After a while, Shen Hong also came to the courtyard, and they got together to eat the first breakfast on the first day of the Lunar New Year, and each of them had an orange steamed egg, and one of the colors of the picture was red.

This year's New Year's Festival is much happier than last year's, but after the third day of the Lunar New Year, after the days when the family walks around, all kinds of entertainment have come, and people who pay New Year's greetings can break through the threshold.

The second aunt and the second pillar returned to the house over there first, so that they could receive guests over there and have better activities, after all, there were a lot of people who came to find Shen Hong and Ergou here, plus some business activities in Dazhuang, as well as those who came to visit Lin Piao and Xiao Yue Juan'er, everyone had their own layers of relationships, and when Xiao Yue and Juan'er met the people who came to them during the day, they were in another small courtyard, so as not to be crowded with people coming and going in a courtyard.

As soon as the New Year passed, good things came, and Shen Hong did not want to continue to mix in the Ministry of Water because he returned to Beijing, but the project was indeed still in his hands, but the emperor wanted to use him again, and finally let him serve as a counselor, and also a water conservancy lang, and the rank of the counselor was raised by one level.

Ergou was promoted to the chief secretary in Dali Temple, and their family was proud.

Lin Piao also rose to the top, and he was very face-saving in Shangjing.

Wen Jieqing also asked him to go to the house for dinner at the end of the year, and when he talked about this matter, he said: "You don't know how many people outside want to befriend you now, and they secretly want me to help pull the strings, but you said before, tell me not to pull the strings anymore, a few friends and confidants are enough, too much but trouble, you are a person who is afraid of trouble, and I will also refuse them." ”

When Lin Piao heard this: "Do you want to get to know me or do you want to get to know Shen Hong?" Now everyone says that Shen Hongke's wife is fierce, but it has only stopped for less than a year, and they are ready to move again. ”

"No way, he's so handsome, if I wasn't married, I'd have beaten his idea." Wen Jieqing said with a smile.

Lin Piaoxiao smiled and didn't speak, Wen Jieqing is married, no different from being a widow, he has never known what Wen Jieqing's marriage is all about, he has known each other for a long time, and from time to time he heard a little leftovers, and slowly spelled out a general idea, Wen Jieqing should have married for true love back then, and he liked Shen Hong's type, a poor scholar, handsome, ambitious, and took the test.

He liked it at first sight, and the Wen family saw that he liked it, and at first he disagreed, but later he felt that the scholar was not an indisputable person, and he would be half a son of his own family when he cultivated and cultivated, and he would not be useless after he got up.

The idea was very good, but the poor scholar was not angry, and the brother who married the Wen family felt that he had ascended to the sky in one step, and at the beginning he had lived a year or two of extremely gentle and sweet days, and then the days passed longer and longer, Wen Jieqing wanted to urge him to make progress, but the scholar was unwilling, thinking that such a good fairy life, why should he go to ask for hardships, and they lived a sweet and sweet life.

Friction and contradictions continued, and these were all minor problems in Wen Jieqing's eyes, but he didn't expect the scholar to directly build a big one for him and raise an outer room outside.

Wen Jieqing lived a life of not divorcing from home, and he took the position of assisting Wen Shuo, regardless of the men in the family.

"Piao'er, I know that you are most annoyed to talk about family affairs, but I still have to say something, Shen Hong is not young, this is about to be twenty, he is hard, you choose a hard one for him, this is a serious solution, otherwise everyone is looking at Shen Hong, this is already annoying enough, you now have another Li Lingyue in the house, and another General Dingyuan, although General Dingyuan is by his side, and said that he has a bad temper and Shen Hong is a little offended, but I heard that it is still very obedient to your little sister-in-law, these are all raised by youChildren, with your kindness in mind, others will naturally want to follow your path. ”

Lin Piaoyi understood, now it is not a matter of Shen Hong's sought-after hand, but these three are a bit sought-after, and he can have some decision-making power in all three, so if the family wants to know him, even if it is not Shen Hong, it is good to get a second pillar or a second dog.

Wen Jieqing continued: "And the two girls in your house, they have become old girls, but they do things simply, they are also clever, they always avoid men, and there is nothing unclear, although they show up, there are no ugly words outside, I don't know how many people want to marry them back." ”

"Huh?" Lin Piao was a little surprised: "Really? Don't they dislike them doing business abroad? ”

"What's there to dislike about this, the family just has to have someone who can carry it clearly, help the master and mother take care of the accounts, and keep an eye on the big and small things in the back house, so that it can run better."

Lin Piao: "......"

Well, it turned out that Xiao Yue and Juan'er were partial concubines, and Bai was happy.

Wen Jieqing saw him like this: "I know that you love the two girls in the family, and I can't wait to give them the best, but there are always some rules that cannot be overcome." ”

Chai Men to Chai Gate, Zhu Men to Zhu Door.

Lin Piao knew this truth, how strict the rules are in this world, even if he made a lot of money, even if he was not a woman who came out to do business, and he was a pampered eldest sister in a businessman's family, it was impossible for her to be married to a famous family in Beijing.

"It doesn't have to be a background or identity, they just like it."

Wen Jieqing listened to his words and disagreed, after all, he had personal experience: "What you like or dislike, character and family background are the most important, if these are not good, no matter how much you like them, you won't like them for less than two years." ”

Lin Piao nodded: "Indeed." ”

Therefore, he is cultivating them well, hoping that they will have the ability to perceive and analyze, not only emotionally, but also in life, and can also make long-term plans and correct decisions.

They chatted for a while, in fact, Wen Jieqing was testing Lin Piao's meaning, of course he would not introduce him to Lin Piao without agreeing, this is to say that there is such a thing, if you let go, I will bring someone to meet you.

Lin Piaowan refused this kindness, it is indeed not needed, even if it is just to be friends, it is not very needed, people in Beijing have too high eyes and too many eyes, and all they want to make friends is to weigh the pros and cons, and few of them come for simple communication, and sometimes it is all twists and turns when they sit together and eat a refreshment.

In fact, it is not necessarily that the person is wrong, it may be that the place where they are located has changed, if Lin Piao and Wen Jieqing met in Shangjing, they may not be able to say many things so calmly, but because they met in the county government, Wen Jieqing just wanted someone to pass the time of some boring time, and there was a certain emotional foundation between them.

They chatted about the same, and Lin Piao took his leave first and returned to the Shen Mansion.

Now the snow is slowly melting, and there is still translucent snow everywhere, and the ground is flowing with snow water, and it is wet everywhere.

Lin Piao was a little worried about his feet when he walked through the path, he didn't want to wet his shoes and stain the hem of his skirt, after all, he only put on his clothes in the morning, and he wanted to wear them well until the evening.

Walking all the way in, Xia He followed by him, Qiu Yu hurriedly walked out, and saw him as if he had seen a savior, and walked up quickly: "Madam, it's not good." ”

"What's wrong ?"

"The second prince gave the adults a few beautiful maids."

"Uh-huh???" Lin Piao felt a little confused.

Qiu Yu had been with Lin Piao for a long time, and she couldn't understand what was going on between Madame and Master Shen, but she knew one thing, that is, inside and outside this house, it was Madame who had the final say, and whether there was someone or no one around Master Shen was also up to Madame to decide, Madame didn't want anyone else around her, she just wanted Madame to go forward wholeheartedly.

"Is the second prince gone?"

"Gone."

"That's fine, call those beauties outside, and tell them not to go near the place where we live, just raise flowers and plants outside, and sweep the floor casually."

Qiu Yu was stunned, but she didn't expect Mrs. to be so calm.

Lin Piao didn't want to spend more energy on this matter: "You go and ask Shen Hongtong if he disagrees with my arrangement, and if he agrees, he will do so, and if he doesn't agree, he won't have to worry about it." ”

Qiu Yu came back to his senses: "Yes, it's Madame!" ”

How did she feel that Madame was more courageous than adults, as if adults were not qualified to speak at all.

Lin Piao returned to the courtyard to bake the fire, but after a while, it was not Qiu Yu who came to the courtyard, but Shen Hong.

When he walked into the yard, Lin Piao likes to bake fires, but he doesn't like to be stuffy, he often opens a door, and he can see the entry and exit of the yard as soon as he raises his eyes, and he also feels very safe.

Shen Hongzheng walked down the steps with his clothes in his hand, met his eyes, and walked up quickly.

Lin Piao asked Xia He to go down first, Shen Hong walked into the house, Xia He waited outside, closed the door and left.

Seeing Shen Hong coming in a hurry like this, Lin Piao couldn't help but smile: "What, reluctantly?" ”

Shen Hong looked at him, not like he was angry: "The second prince intended to do this, I can't refuse, but he only said to give it to me, but he didn't say how he wanted me to arrange it, Piao'er's arrangement is excellent." ”

"No matter how much he wants to take care of you, he can't take care of your private affairs, but he is very persistent and wants to have someone of his own who can blow the pillow wind for you."

"Not necessarily, but it doesn't make a difference."

Shen Hong rejected the second prince's arrangement for his marriage, although the second prince never mentioned a word about marriage to him from beginning to end, and he never mentioned a word about refusing marriage, but they all knew it in their hearts.

What the second prince wants is that the lord gives it, and he doesn't dare to resign.

The second prince tolerated his refusal, but still warned him that you have to listen to me in our relationship.

This is the case with these handmaidens who were sent, you don't want to get married, but if I give you a woman, you still have to accept it.

It's just a matter of beating and testing him, if the pillow can't be windy, the second prince should know in his heart that he won't be contaminated.

"It's finally sent over, you keep an eye on them, if you have your own marriage or the person you like, just send it out to marry."

Lin Piao saw that he deliberately said these words to draw a clear line, and nodded: "Naturally, if it can be arranged, there is no reason to delay them, alas, it is really a major event in life, and there are marriages and marriages everywhere, and marriages are in charge." ”

Lin Piao was a little dizzy when he heard these two words now, because there were too many people around him who were not married yet, and they were all of marriageable age, and this topic had become quite dense now.

When Shen Hong heard him like this, he sat down next to him and said with a smile: "Who asked about the marriage today?" Won't you ask me? ”

"Naturally it's not you, there are many people who are worried about you, but I don't dare to ask too clearly, I wish I could meet you and let you come to the door to ask for marriage, now I don't know how many girls and brothers are secretly telling fortunes, to see if their eight characters are hard enough, whether they can lower you."

"Piao'er is hard enough, no one else is needed."

Lin Piao pouted, the widow is indeed hard, there is this statement.

Shen Hong pouted when he saw him: "Is there something else?" ”

"There is also a question about Xiaoyue and Juan'er, it is very good, saying that I have taken a fancy to them, I will understand it if I ask more, do the side room partial room, why bother, ask them to choose it themselves, I don't believe that they can't find the agreeable, if they can't pick it, it will be regarded as a lonely widow's life, we are a lonely widow's nest, a lonely widow!"

Shen Hong was a little secretly annoyed by him, and the more he talked, the more angry he became, and the little fox turned into a little frog.

"Don't scream, I'll wonder where the frog is coming later."

"Not a single nest of little frogs has been released." Lin Piao had been trying to hope that the family would not fall in love early, but he didn't expect that now that it was time to fall in love, there was no one in love, Lin Piao was not in a hurry, but he was a little puzzled in his heart, was it because he had asked too much in the past, which caused the delay in the emotional progress of these children?

Shen Hong approached and lowered his body slightly, looked at Lin Piao and whispered, "Didn't I send it out?" It's also considered to be sent out. ”

Lin Piao looked at him, he was sent away, sent to his own hands, Lin Piao thought of this, and suddenly a trace of horror flashed in his eyes.
