Chapter 43

In one sentence, Shen Yu lightly assigned the affairs of the back house to her.

Rong Jin didn't refuse, but only stopped talking: "The slave has never taken care of this, if something happens......

Before you make a mistake, you have already made up for it.

Shen Yu laughed very lightly, and his tone was indistinguishable from praise and disapproval: "You are very good at planning for a rainy day." ”

Rong Jin's fingertips were on the jade belt hook, and he raised his eyes to look at him, his thick eyelashes were slightly upturned, and he looked a little innocent.

"Even if you mess up and offend people, there's nothing in your way." Shen Yu's Adam's apple moved slightly, and he looked away quietly, "Can I still eat you?" ”

The gap between him and the Earl's Court is already like a moat, and the day when he finally sees the dagger, it will not be a little bit worse.

Knife warriors, who cares about how to think about the fish on the case.

Rong Jin got his disguised promise, which is considered to have no scruples.

As he got closer, the smell of the incense ash candle paper stained on Shen Yu's body was particularly obvious.

Rong Jin held his breath, handed over the clothes that Shen Yu had changed to the servants of the Water Pavilion to wash, and added some more Qi Nan incense to the incense burner.

Light smoke rises and a light aroma spreads.

Through the delicate twelve black lacquered gold screens, Rong Jin looked at the chess games brought from the other courtyard, and could vaguely hear the conversation between Shen Yu and Cheng Ying.

The two talked about court affairs, and for ordinary people, the variety of official positions and names and surnames are enough to make people dizzy.

Rong Jin gently rubbed the pages of the book, listening intentionally or unintentionally.

The sky has completely darkened, and the moon is sparse.

The candle flame at the door of the house flickered suddenly, and Rong Jin thought that the wind was blowing, and when he raised his eyes, he saw Shang Lu in a dark suit.

The body is light, and it walks quietly.

Rong Jin was used to his elusiveness, so he didn't make a fuss, and only smiled silently.

Shang Lu approached and glanced at the book in her hand, and as soon as she opened her mouth, she asked the little fox that she had picked up from the hunting ground: "Is Ah Yun in the other courtyard now?" How's it going? ”

"In the other courtyard," Rong Jin said softly, "but there are some people who recognize life, if they are others, they are only willing to get a little closer when they feed it." ”

Thinking of this, he pursed his lips and smiled: "It's small, it's the time to grow its body, and it may be a lot more mellow in a few days." ”

"I'll go to the other courtyard to see it in a few days." Shang Lu pressed his lower abdomen and asked, half-complaining, "Have you eaten?" ”

"There are pastries in the tea room, but they are not very fresh, and they haven't had time to ask them to change to new ones, and they are not your favorite taste." Rong Jin thought about it, closed the chess game, "Otherwise, go to the kitchen in the house to have a look......"

In a large family like Earl's Court, the kitchen must always be stocked with things.

Just pondering, Shen Yu had already bathed and changed his clothes, bypassing the screen.

He was draped in a fine linen robe, his clothes were fluttering, and his half-wet black hair was scattered behind him at will, bringing out a bit of casual romance when he walked.

Shang Lu was still thinking about what to eat, so he had to put it behind for the time being.

He looked at Rong Jin on the side, stopped talking, and looked at Shen Yu hesitantly.

Rong Jin understood, and consciously got up and wanted to avoid it, but was stopped by Shen Yu.

Shen Yu seemed to be

Some discomfort (), frowning slightly? [()]?『 Come []#看最新章节#完整章节'(), raised his hand to support his forehead, and his voice brought out some tiredness: "Dry my hair for me, Shang Lu, you say it." ”

Shang Lu was stunned.

He watched Rong Jin take the towel from Changfeng's hand, skillfully tugged his long brocade-like hair in his hand, wiped it gently, and suddenly remembered an old incident for no reason.

It should be at the end of spring, when Rong Jin first arrived in the other courtyard.

He didn't have any serious errands at that time, and he was pointed out to supervise Rong Jin, because of his fate, he unconsciously got closer, and he was called by his own son to ask for his life.

And he did take it to heart.

will gossip with Rong Jin, but will not mention anything that should not be said.

And now, Shen Yu himself is not shy about it.

Shen Yu pressed the acupuncture points on his forehead, and his expression was a little more puzzled.

Shang Lu immediately gathered his mind and went back to the errands he had done one by one, and finally hesitated a little before mentioning Old Man Shen's matter.

"Before the old uncle took his breath, he first met the descendants of the house, but in the end he drove everyone out, leaving only Uncle Zhongyi alone......"

Old man Shen has already run out of oil and lamps, and everyone in the house knows it, and the housekeeper's housewife has even secretly asked someone to prepare funeral rites and other things, so as not to be busy in the mansion when he gets it.

Before he returned to the light, the Songhe Courtyard, which had always been deserted, gathered the children, grandchildren, and relatives of the Shen family in the courtyard, except for Shen Yu.

Old Man Shen asked about Shen Yu weakly, Uncle Zhong Yi held his father's thin hand, and sighed: "I have been informed, but he doesn't want to come......"

Old Man Shen shook his head tremblingly, his body was like a rotten wood, and his mind was no longer very clear.

He looked at Uncle Zhongyi, who had gray sideburns, and he had doted on and protected this son, but he was also sad and disappointed. At the last moment, he couldn't say anything, only held his hand and slowly admonished: "...... Be careful...... Stop. ”

Before he took his last breath, he made his own choice-

Compared with old grudges, after all, the dignity of the Earl's Court is more important.

Then he died with a sense of guilt for another son that didn't help.

Shang Lu was still a little angry when he mentioned this, but Shen Yu was very calm, and even laughed in the end.

Although it is full of irony, it seems a little lonely in the quiet night.

Before Rong Jin had time to think about it, he heard Shen Yu write lightly: "It's a pity." ”

When he first heard that the old uncle had passed away, Shen Yu sighed with emotion.

Rong Jin didn't know why at that time, but now he suddenly guessed the intention behind these words and froze.

"If there's nothing else to do, rest and go."

got Shen Yu's words, Shang Lu originally

The steady posture was swept away, and he was thinking about what to eat to fill his stomach, when he raised his eyes and saw Rong Jin, he suddenly remembered something.

"Didn't you ask me before, have you ever heard the name 'Qinghuai'?" Shang Lu rubbed his neck and stretched his body, and said casually, "I've been thinking about it for several days, and I finally remembered it the day before yesterday......"

He said to himself, not noticing that Shen Yu, who was back in the inner room, stopped, and Rong Jin in front of him also froze there.

Shen Heng, whose name is Qinghuai, is a disciple of the Shen side branch and is now serving in the Yushitai.

Shen Heng came to the other courtyard that day, and from his conversation with Shen Yu, Rong Jin already knew these information. She's separated

() Shang Lu looked at Shen Yu, who stopped at the screen, and was very helpless.

Shang Lu's empty stomach screamed, he didn't bother to wait for the food in the kitchen in the house, and he didn't care about picking, and asked, "Where are the pastries in the tea room?" ”

Rong Jinru was amnestied, and hurriedly said, "I'll help you get it." ”

She rushed out in front of Shang Lu, and was relieved to see that Shen Yu did not stop her.

Rong Jin gave Shang Lu the refreshments, calmed down and thought about it, and felt that he was a little bit of a bow snake.

The relationship between Shen Yu and her is a use of the relationship, and there is no emotion at all.

The last time Shen Yu was angry, it was because he was distracted by looking at people, and he dropped the tea set he liked, which may have damaged his face.

As long as there is no mistake on the face, Shen Yu will not care what she thinks in her heart.

Shen Yu didn't mention it, she just didn't think about it, and took the opportunity to reveal it.

Ordinary people have elders who have passed away, and they still have to behave in a proper manner.

For such a major event as the old uncle's death, in addition to the need for the children of the family to be courteous and hospitable, all those who should have relatives with the Shen family will also come to the door one after another to express their condolences according to their relatives from far and near.

Shen Yu still has the name of the descendants of the Shen family, so he can't avoid it.

In comparison, Rong Jin is much more leisurely.

She asked Cheng Ying that after confirming that Ding Xiang was a person who knew the roots, she took the opportunity to drink tea and chat to learn about the important people in the Shen family's several rooms from her.

As for the servants sent by the eldest lady, Rong Jin accepted it, but he only assigned them some insignificant chores, and he also explained the rules in advance.

lest someone be reckless and displease Shen Yu.

"By the end of winter, the plum trees on the other side of the lake will bloom." Lilac held a piece of osmanthus cake and said with a smile, "That Merlin has red and white flowers, and if it happens to meet the snow, it is really beautiful." ”

Rong Jin held his cheeks, looked through the window, and saw the long wind coming back alone.

She put away her lazy posture, got up to greet her, and wondered, "What's wrong?" ”

Changfeng lowered his eyes and looked at the ground, and said quickly: "The piece of jade that Gongzi often wears is missing, I wonder where it fell, I didn't find it in Songhe Courtyard, and there is Miss Lao bothering here." ”

Rong Jin was already familiar with Shen Yu's commonly used things, and when he mentioned it, he immediately knew which piece of jade it was, and nodded in response: "I'll draw a pattern and ask them to help look around......"

"Don't," Changfeng stopped, and said in Rong Jin's puzzled gaze, "Childe has ordered, tell you to find it." ”

He stubbornly added, "It's best to find it today." ”

Rong Jin blinked and fell silent.

With Shen Yu's identity, if he really lost any personal objects, he should actually be seriously informed-

Even if you can't find it, at least you can spread the news so that people can know that it is lost, so that no one with ulterior motives can do anything about it.

Shen Yu wouldn't be unaware of this truth, but he asked her to find it alone.

Although the jade jue is a precious jade material with excellent color, it is not something that cannot be known.

"Where did Yu Jue get lost unintentionally," Rong Jinxiao asked, "You can't ask people to look for it aimlessly, there should be a general range, right?" ”

The beauty in front of him smiled politely, and Changfeng felt that he might be weak-hearted, so he felt that she seemed to be strong

The word "unintentional" was adjusted.

Changfeng has been serving by Shen Yu's side for many years, and he can somewhat guess his preference, although he doesn't understand why his son-in-law wants to toss people, but thinking of the subtle signs of the recent days, he still decided to sell his favor to Rong Jin.

"If you lose something in an open place, you can always notice it," Changfeng paused and said in a low voice, "Maybe it's on the side of Merlin or the rockery, but I can't say." ”

Rong Jin understood, thanked him, and gave Changfeng the newly sent refreshments from the kitchen.

She drank the remaining half of the tea in the cup, followed the path that Shen Yu had walked when he went out this morning, and went to Merlin's side.

The Merlin is large, with a cobbled path running through it, followed by a tall rockery with pavilions and flowers, and a winding path for one or two people.

Against the backdrop of the sunset, it looks particularly quiet.

Across the large plum forest, the water pavilion looms.

Rong Jin looked around and felt as if he could only pray for better luck, otherwise he might not be able to find such a small piece of jade jue in the middle of the night.

But her luck has not been good.

Over the years, luck has favored her very few times.

Looking for most of the plum forest in a circle, the sky has gradually darkened, Rong Jin stood up straight, kneaded his somewhat sore neck, and slowly went to the rockery.

Then in the twilight, under the vine, I saw a familiar figure.

He was dressed in plain white cloth, slightly sideways, and was listening intently to the person next to him.

There is no smile on his face, but he does not appear cold and unapproachable.

He is different from Shen Yu, as if he was born with a gentle temperament, like a spring in a mountain stream and a warm wind.

Rong Jin's gaze finally fell on Shen Heng's hand.

His fingertips hooked the familiar rope of Tiao Rongjin, which she had personally hit not long ago, and the piece of jade that Shen Yu asked her to find fell on it.

Shen Yu used it to embarrass her, but it happened to be seen by Shen Heng who was passing here, recognized it as Shen Yu's object, and got it.

Good luck favored her again!
