Chapter 60

In order to control the water and repair the embankment, the six states in the south of the Yangtze River successively recommended several so-called "experts", Shen Yu did not say anything about this, but asked them to draw up a charter first.

Although Jiangnan officialdom has heard of Shen Yu's reputation, most of them have not personally experienced his methods, and over the years, some have secretly thought that he was sheltered because of the death of his father and brother, so he sat in today's position.

In addition, he has not yet reached the age of standing, and he has a warm and handsome face, and at first glance, he looks like a fool who has not gone through much wind and rain.

The people sent by the states gathered together, each with their own thoughts, and fought a lot of verbal battles, and stepped on Shen Yuding's time limit to hand over a piece of paperwork.

The flower shelf is very well built, and with some empty words and cakes, it can bluff people at first glance, but there is not much concrete and feasible substance at all.

Shen Yu looked at it roughly, and finally his eyes fell on the vague budget, and he sneered, and was impatient under strong pressure, which made it rumored that Shen Heng had come to see him.

"I think they're so used to it that they can make a fool of me." Shen Yu threw the fold to Shen Heng, with some impatience in his tone, "Where is Chen Yu?" ”

Shen Heng was silent for a moment and took the blame: "It's my dereliction of duty ......"

He actually didn't see Chen Yu's face.

When he went back to Ruyizhai, he was mercilessly stopped by Xie Qiutong and ordered to expel the guests; Later, when he found Chen's house, the old servant who guarded the door was instructed early in the morning, but refused to let him go, but instead sighed and pleaded to him.

It is said that Chen Yu has been imprisoned since that year, and he is frail and sick, and he can't bear the heavy responsibility of running back and forth, building embankments and dams, not to mention that his wife is pregnant, how can he bear to be separated at this time?

Shen Heng knew that Chen Yu had happened in the past, and he couldn't do anything difficult for a strong man.

Shen Yu was not so reasonable, and when he heard half of it, he frowned first, and his hand on the small stove tightened slightly.

The embroidered bag with the hand stove was changed by Rong Jin himself this morning, and it was embroidered with a Buddha lotus, and the flowers and leaves were stretched, from her hands, as if it also carried some of the tranquility and peace on her body.

Shen Yu gently rubbed the embroidery, pressed the displeasure in his heart, and ordered: "In my name, the next invitation will come." ”

This is what it means to talk to Chen Yu in person, Shen Heng was a little surprised, but he still respectfully agreed.

The first to see Chen Yu was Rong Jin.

Xie Qiutong devoted all his attention to the baifu clothes to be made for the unborn child, and Rong Jin became a "substitute shopkeeper", and he came to the house when he was empty.

She changed the water in the white porcelain vase, heard movement at the door, and immediately greeted her with a smile.

But the person who entered the door was not the lady who came from the usual days, but a man in a blue robe, tall and thin, and his complexion did not look very good, but his expression was gentle and calm, and he looked like a good person.

In the crook of his arm, he held a smoky purple feather yarn, and the red gold butterfly wore a pattern.

Rong Jin recognized that this was the clothes worn by Xie Qiutong at a glance, his footsteps paused slightly, he looked back at the shopkeeper Xie on the rocking chair, and called softly.

After Xie Qiutong saw this man, he first twisted his eyebrows: "Why don't you recuperate at home?" ”

When he caught a glimpse of the big rain he brought, he said angrily, "Will I still lack clothes here?" Is it worth it for you to deliver it in person? ”

"It's just a cold, don't worry."

As soon as the man's voice fell, it was difficult to suppress

He coughed twice, but it seemed unconvincing for a moment. He laughed helplessly, and said to Xie Qiutong as if soothing: "The doctor said, it's not good to be stuffy in the room all the time." ”

After listening to a few words, Rong Jin had a conclusion in his heart, and after greeting with a smile, he helped pour hot tea.

Chen Yu seemed to be negligent, and his hand was not very steady when he took the teacup, and he politely thanked him.

Rong Jin saw that the husband and wife were afraid that they had something to talk about, so after a few words of greeting, they went to the other side by tidying up the shelves.

Chen Yu accompanied him to see the small clothes that had just taken shape, hesitated for a while, and finally spoke: "I heard that Shen Xiang was ordered to go to Jiangnan, and now he is ...... in Huyang."

"Yes," Xie Qiutong clenched the fabric in his hand and interrupted him, "But what does this have to do with you and me?" ”

In the past few years, there has never been a dispute between the husband and wife, and there have not even been a few quarrels.

Chen Yu was born with a good temperament and loved her, as long as he saw her with a slightly cold face, he automatically backed down.

But this time, he didn't stop mentioning it, and hesitated: "Shen Xiang is different from Lu Jia and others, he sits in Jiangnan, and he may be useful to get my place......"

Earlier, the floods in the south of the Yangtze River were raging, and Huyang flooded most of the city, but it was still lightly affected, although Ruyizhai lost a lot of money, but it did not hurt his life.

In the hard-hit area, many houses have collapsed, and countless people have died quietly in the floods.

Chen Yu really couldn't bear it, and wanted to do his best to help, but the official in charge didn't take him seriously at all, let alone hand over such a "fat difference" that could make oil and water to him.

That kindness was gone.

Xie Qiutong couldn't know much about her husband, she let go of her hand and slowly smoothed the clothes

"How do you know that Shen Yu has no selfishness of his own?" Although he is not the initiator of the old wounds on your body, he is not completely irrelevant. ”

As he spoke, the slightly cool fingertips lightly tapped on Chen Yu's wrist.

"Shen Xiang is omnipotent, and it is okay to think of this trouble," Xie Qiutong's voice was a little sarcastic, and then he chuckled, with some intimacy, "You agreed before, saying that you would design a ...... for me to save branches and red plum steps, as a birthday gift."

Chen Yu is not good at words, but he can't resist his wife's sharp teeth, both soft and hard, and he doesn't want to really make her sad, so he won't mention it anymore.

In the afternoon, Xie Qiutong urged Chen Yu to go home and take medicine.

She was easily sleepy after she was pregnant, and Rong Jin helped take care of the shop, so she covered it with a thick blanket and nested in the rocking chair to rest.

At this hour, there are usually no guests, Rong Jin is bored, and he is thinking about what to do, but when he raises his eyes, he sees that someone has come to the door again.

The one at the head is tied with a very gorgeous finch gold coat, and at a glance it is known that it is the daughter of a rich and noble family.

After she entered the door, she brushed her hood, revealing a small face the size of a palm, although she had a cold face, she still looked beautiful and moving.

It is the second lady of the Lu family, Lu Linlang.

Although Rong Jin is living in the Lu family now, there is a huge garden, and the number of times he sees Miss Lu is very few, and the last time they met was in this Ruyi Zhai, she came with Shen Heng.

Last time, it was an unhappy breakup, and now Miss Lu's appearance doesn't look like a good stubble.

Rong Jin weighed in his heart, smiled casually, and greeted: "Girl, come back this time,

What jewelry do you want to see? The shopkeeper got a very precious red coral in the South China Sea a few days ago, and made a pullover noodle the day before yesterday......"

Lu Linlang didn't look at her at all.

Xie Qiutong was disturbed, she had dealt with the Lu family a lot in the past two years, she knew the temperament of this second lady, and when she broke up unhappily last time, she thought that there would be today, so she cheered up and entertained her in person.

Lu Linlang stayed for more than half an hour, slowly and methodically turned the people around, tried on most of the jewelry in the shop, and belittled them one by one.

Even no matter how dull people are, they can see that she is deliberately finding fault.

Xie Qiutong put a glazed hairpin in the style of bamboo branches on her temples, half-leaning on the counter, a little tired, and was about to open her mouth but coughed twice first.

Rong Jin pushed the brewed tea over, motioned for her to moisten her throat, and smiled at Lu Linlang: "Although this hairpin is not a valuable object, it is fired in excellent color, lining the girl's snow skin and black hair, beautiful and lovely, and homely wear also makes ......."

Lu Linlang propped up his forehead, looked at the bronze mirror in front of him, and sneered: "The street is full of goods like this, and you dare to take it out to perfunctory me?" ”

After finishing speaking, he flicked his sleeves and got up, but unfortunately, the wide sleeves turned over the tea cup on the side.

Rong Jin's eyes quickly blocked in front of Xie Qiutong, and most of the tea was spilled on her, but fortunately, the tea was brought after it cooled a little, not hot water.

The back of the hand splashed with the tea was slightly red, not too painful, but the tea trickled down the dress, and the goose-yellow skirt was stained with a few tea leaves, which looked so embarrassed.

Xie Qiutong subconsciously protected his lower abdomen, and after reacting, he took Rong Jin's hand and looked at it, and his face turned cold after holding on for a long time.

Just as she was about to speak, Rong Jin gently shook her hand back, shook her head casually, and smiled at Lu Linlang: "It's windy outside, the girl wears a big hat and then goes out, and she gets cold carefully." ”

She has nothing to hinder her, but Xie Qiutong's shop is open in Huyang, Lu Linlang is still a little tossing now, and it will be over for the time being, if it really angers her, I am afraid it will be more than that.

Lu Linlang looked at her low-eyed appearance, sneered, and finally left with a few maids.

When Shen Heng came to the door again with the worship sticker, he saw the mess in this place.

Rong Jin twisted the dress half-dry, didn't let Xie Qiutong do it, and leaned over to properly put away the broken porcelain pieces all over the ground: "I have to go back first......"

As soon as he raised his eyes and saw Shen Heng, he was stuck in the middle of speaking, and stood up straight a little crampedly, covering the hem of his skirt.

Shen Heng looked away and explained his intention to Xie Qiutong: "I'll send Shen Xiang's invitation." ”

It stands to reason that such an inconspicuous matter should be handed over to ordinary servants, but he was worried that Xie Qiutong would not know Shen Yu's temperament and underestimate the weight of this invitation, so he specially took such a trip in person.

Looking at the invitation in front of him, Xie Qiutong's already bad face worsened, interrupted Shen Heng's explanation, and said in a low voice: "Needless to say, I understand." ”

She was silent, but when Rong Jin left, she asked her to hang a sign outside the door that the store was closed today.

Rong Jin covered the door for her and hung up a sign.

I didn't think much of it was that there was a stove in the shop, but now when I went out, the cold winter wind blew through the tea-soaked dress, which was so cold that she shivered.

If you go all the way back like this, I'm afraid it will be inevitable to get cold.

Shen Heng, who went out first, had not yet left, he stood a few steps away, his eyes lowered, and said softly: "Since you are on the way, why don't you take my car?" ”！
