Chapter 39: Sunset Sends a Letter
The people around them didn't dare to come out, they would come to Zuixiang Building to drink two glasses of wine on weekdays with a few small dollars, but they didn't dare to cause trouble, after all, there were so many high-ranking officials and nobles in Chang'an City, and accidentally tripping over a character who might not be able to be provoked by them.
Originally, I saw that Shen Yanshu and Shen Yan'an were only teenagers, and they thought they were easy to bully, but who would have thought that the maid with them would have such skills.
After teaching the fat man a lesson, Shen Yan'an was still a little unhappy in his heart, he swept around the people in the lobby, and finally locked his eyes on the men who were with the fat man just now.
"What about you, do you dare to say my sister's in the future?" Shen Yan'an asked sharply.
The men looked slightly embarrassed, but shook their heads anyway.
Shen Yanshu smiled at the corner of his eyes, stepped forward and said to Shen Yan'an: "Forget it, since you apologize, there is no need to cause trouble, let's go." ”
Only then did everyone find that Shen Yanshu, who had been standing in the corner, was dressed in white, with a beautiful figure, and only a simple Mulan hair ornament on her head, which was generous. Although the face is not clear with a veil, it adds a bit of beauty and mystery, like a fairy.
It turned out that it was rumored that Miss Shen San had such a demeanor, and everyone was dumbfounded.
"Let me meet your again, be careful that I pull out your tongue!"
Shen Yan'an threw down this sentence and glared at these people, turned around and left the Zuixiang Building with Shen Yanshu.
At this time, the shopkeeper of Zuixianglou dared to step forward, and said with a smile: "Since this misunderstanding has been resolved, everyone will continue to eat well, I will invite this meal!"
Hearing the shopkeeper's words, everyone's faces softened slightly. But the fat man's face was still very ugly, and he looked at the back of Shen Yanshu and them leaving, his eyes were dark and uncertain.
"Fat man, dissipate your anger, it's not worth it to be angry with them!" the shopkeeper stepped forward to persuade.
These individuals will come to Zuixiang House every three or five days, although they only order a pot of wine and a plate of side dishes, but it is not good to make trouble, so they can only try to appease them.
The fat man snorted and said, "It's really unlucky, do you really think that Lao Tzu is easy to bully!"
He was taught a lesson by a little girl in public, and he really couldn't swallow this breath.
"Fat ......"
"Get out of the way!" the fat man shook off the shopkeeper and walked out angrily.
This fat man has always been a grudge-holder, and he is still a scoundrel, and it is not good to be targeted by him, the shopkeeper sighed, it seems that the Shen family sister and brother are going to suffer a little.
The few men who were sitting there chatting just now were disturbed by this, and they were also tasteless, and they all left after a while.
In the corridor at the other end of the second floor, Yan Qinghan and Chu Linche had a full view of the scene just now.
"I haven't found such interesting people before, but there will be a good show at the end of three days. Chu Linche smiled, "It's just that it seems that the fat man is very unwilling, I'm afraid he won't let them go easily." ”
"Didn't you notice that the maid next to her was a little familiar?" Yan Qinghan asked.
Chu Linche was stunned: "Maid? Do you mean the maid who shot just now? It looks like a practitioner, but if you want to say that it is familiar, I really don't have an impression." ”
Yan Qinghan frowned slightly, he just felt that this maid was very familiar, and this face seemed to have been seen somewhere.
"Mo Yun, go check on that maid. He spoke.
"Yes. Mo Yun replied and disappeared from view.
Chu Linche looked at him so seriously and said, "You are so curious, why don't we come to the hero to save the beauty, or be close to that Shen San." ”
Yan Qinghan glanced at him and said, "With your skills, it is estimated that you don't need to be a hero, then Shen San's martial arts are above you." ”
"The surname Yan, how can you dismantle your brother's platform like this!"
"If you don't believe me, you can try it. Yan Qinghan looked at him as if he was watching a good show.
Chu Linche's face was sad: "It's really careless in making friends!"
"If you have time to sigh, it's better to practice more boxing and kicking. Yan Qinghan said mercilessly.
Chu Linche didn't want to continue this topic with him, for a person like Yan Qinghan, who had been through a hundred battles, he was indeed just a rookie, who let them Dingxi Houfu only have such a lone seedling as him.
Shen Yanshu didn't know what happened after they left, but looking at the fat man's eyes didn't seem to make him swallow this breath so easily.
After the sisters and brothers returned to the mansion, Shen Yanshu found an ointment and applied it to Shen Yan'an's reddened hands.
"Sister, where are you such a powerful maid?" Shen Yan'an asked, looking at the maid behind her, but there was no sunset, and she couldn't help but be a little disappointed.
Shen Yanshu said: "The eldest aunt sent it a few days ago, and I accepted it because I looked good." ”
Shen Yan'an nodded and said, "Having such a maid is stronger than bringing a few guards!"
"With your troublesome strength, ten guards can't protect you. Don't be so impulsive in the future!" Shen Yanshu said, "If I brought a maid who didn't know martial arts today, you would suffer a loss if you rushed forward to find those people to theorize." ”
"Where I thought so much at the time, I just couldn't get used to them. Shen Yan'an was indignant.
Shen Yanshu was rubbing his hands, and suddenly increased his strength.
"Ahh......h
"Do you still know that it hurts?" Shen Yanshu said angrily, "I know you want to stand up for me, but there are many ways to teach them a lesson, why choose the stupidest method?"
"What's more, there are so many rumors about me in Chang'an City now, if you have to take care of it every time, do you want to beat the entire people of Kyoto?"
"The more you care, the more these gossips spread, the more they hurt us. ”
Shen Yanshu couldn't help but open his mouth to reprimand this impulsive younger brother.
Shen Yan'an pouted: "Do you just ignore it and let those people judge my sister's character?"
"Of course not. Shen Yanshu put away the ointment and got up and said, "Since they said that I would lose, then I will win to show them, so naturally I will stop their mouths." In fact, for such inconsequential people, there is no need to let yourself be angry. ”
Shen Yan'an nodded a little reluctantly, and listened to her words.
"By the way, didn't they say that there was a special gambling game about me and Qi Huan in the gambling house?" Shen Yanshu said.
Shen Yan'an knew the meaning of her words as soon as she heard it: "I'll put all the money on my sister!"
"You're not afraid of losing them all. Shen Yanshu smiled at the corner of his eyes.
Shen Yan'an said: "It doesn't matter, it doesn't matter if you lose, anyway, if you don't have any money, it's a big deal to ask your father again." ”
The two of them laughed, the sky had already darkened, Chao Yan walked back from outside, and stepped forward to report that Shen Jun had returned home.
Shen Yan'an had just returned to the mansion today, so he naturally wanted to go to ask for peace, so he left the Dark Fragrance House and went in the direction of the main courtyard.
Looking at the back of Shen Yanshu leaving, Shen Yanshu asked Qingyuan and Chaoyan to go down, turned around and walked to the desk, and wrote a letter.
Talking to Shen Yan'an today about going to Jiangnan, she had already planned for a long time, no matter what the attitude of the Xiao family was, what the result was, it would not hinder her decision to go to Jiangnan.
She wrote her letter so smoothly that she stopped writing in only a quarter of an hour.
"Miss. Xiyan called out outside the room.
"Come in. After Shen Yanshu finished speaking, he picked up the letter that had just been written on the table and dried it gently.
Xi Yan stepped forward and said, "I inquired about it, although there are no more people in the house who brought it back then, there are still some old people who know something." Xiao and Shen Kangzhi were very affectionate when they got married, and Shen Kangzhi did not wronged her because Xiao was born in a merchant family, and even did not take a concubine when she was pregnant. ”
"At that time, Xiao's maiden family was a well-known merchant family in Jiangning, who ran a silk village, the business was very good, and he was rich, so Xiao's treated his subordinates gently and generously, and the reward was only a lot more. But later, after giving birth to a dragon and phoenix fetus, the body couldn't bear it, and then the Xiao family died, and the people of the Xiao family came to make trouble again, but since then, the people of the Xiao family have never come again. ”
According to Shen Yanshu's method, Xiyan went to ask some older servants in the mansion, and asked about the third lady's biological mother on the grounds that he had just arrived in the mansion and did not know the situation and was afraid of colliding with the master.
Because the house has long been forbidden to talk about this matter, some people are silent, but there will always be people who are willing to say it, and the one who told Xiyan is a mother-in-law who looks at the firewood room, probably because no one has chatted with her for too long, so she accidentally said more.
Shen Yanshu listened to Xi Yan's words, and narrowed his eyes slightly, it seems that there is still some inside information in this.
"Wouldn't it be inappropriate for us to go directly to the Xiao family like this?" Xi Yan said with some puzzlement, "If the two families really have any old enmity, I'm afraid it's useless to send someone there." ”
Shen Yanshu put the letter paper into the envelope and said, "I don't feel at ease about sending someone else, I want you to go to Jiangning to deliver the letter in person." ”
"Me?" Xiyan was stunned and said with some surprise, "It's just to deliver a letter, and I'm going to stay here to protect you." ”
Shen Yanshu looked at her and said, "Don't worry, as long as I don't reveal my identity, there are few people who can move me, but what you have to do is very important, so I can only let you go." ”
Seeing that she was so serious, Xi Yan knew that this matter would not be so simple, and arched her hand and said, "But according to Miss's orders!"
"Going to Xiao's house is just a stopover, no matter what their attitude is, you have to bring back a letter asking me to go to Jiangning, and it is okay to forge it, only in this way can I leave Chang'an logically. Your real destination is the Moon Mountain in Jiangning, and there are two people living on the mountainside of the Moon Mountain, named Nie Dong and Nie Liang. You have to find them and tell them that after a while, I will go and fetch the things in the mountains myself. ”
Shen Yanshu handed the letter to Xi Yan and asked, "Are you clear?"
Xiyan took the letter in her hand and nodded.
Shen Yanshu continued: "You clean up tonight, set off early tomorrow morning, and I will let the green kite prepare it for you if you are entangled or something." ”
Although I wanted to say that this time was too rushed, Xiyan still listened to her instructions and went down to prepare.
