Chapter 19: Dreams 1
When Song Yu woke up, he was already in the Shen Mansion.
She didn't know why she saw the story of Yunzhou and Xiaoyou in the burning mountain that day, and she didn't know why her heart hurt so much when she thought of the wind god.
The wind outside the house blew gently, Song Yu picked up the cloak and walked outside, he didn't feel cold in winter, but he felt a trace of cold in spring.
Shen Chen'an was talking to his second brother Shen Chenyi, and after seeing Song Yu come out, Shen Chenyi nodded at her and smiled slightly, and then left.
Shen Chenyi is a concubine, her biological mother became a nun and is not in the house, for many private matters of the Shen family, especially Shen Chenyi's side, Song Yu has never known very much, and later Shen Chen'an told her, and she understood.
Shen Chenyi's mother was originally the daughter of a high-ranking official family, and then her father committed an accident, and the female dependents of the family were used as official slaves, she became a geisha, performing in the Red Mansion, and later met Shen's father, so she was taken back to the house, not long after giving birth to Shen Chenyi, she mentioned to Shen's mother that she wanted to become a monk, Shen's mother read that Shen Chenyi was young, let her slowly, and she agreed to come down.
It wasn't until Shen Chenyi was seven years old that she made up her mind to become a monk.
She has always been grateful to Shen's father for saving him from fire and water, so she gave birth to a son for him, and then jumped out of the world and never came to the Shen family again.
Sometimes Song Yu thinks that Shen's mother is very great, and only one of the three sons is his own, but he teaches them decently and sensibly, and no one has ever said that Shen's mother is not.
When Shen Chen'an saw Song Yu come out, he greeted him.
"What did the second brother come to tell you?" Song Yu asked suspiciously.
"The second brother fell in love with a geisha and wanted to marry her, saying that he wanted to ask me to persuade her in front of my father. Shen Chen'an's words didn't have much emotion, but it seemed like saying a very ordinary thing again.
Normal officials and children are extremely disapproving of wanting to marry a geisha, whether a geisha sells themselves or not, in the eyes of ordinary people, they are inferior, or not human.
Song Yu touched his chin and said, "Since you want to persuade your parents, you also have to know whether that woman is worth it, and if she can't want it, we will help him ask for it." ”
Shen Chen'an nodded: "I think so, too, so I told my second brother that I have to think about it at this time." ”
"By the way, Ah Yu, I have something to tell you. Shen Chen'an suddenly changed his words.
"You say. ”
"When I came back, my father and I talked for a while, and I thought that it would be a shame to keep going like this, so I discussed with my father and mother, I want to do some business, and I may not be able to stay with you often in the future. ”
Song Yu raised his eyebrows in surprise after hearing this: "What kind of business do you want to do?"
"My grandmother's dowry to my mother has a fat powder shop in Beijing, saying that I will take over and give it a try first, although Wen Taowu is slightly inferior to the two brothers, but I think I can still do business. ”
"Well, that's fine, there are some things to do, people can be enriched, when to start, I will go with you. ”
"Depart early tomorrow morning. ”
Although Beijing and the Imperial City are next to each other, but the ratio between Beijing and the Imperial City is still worse, but it is only worse than the Imperial City, probably the reputation is not as good as the Imperial City, and the prosperity is owed, but it is more casual and free than the Imperial City, and the bureaucratic atmosphere is much less.
The carriage of the Shen family soon pulled them to the fat powder shop, which was in an excellent location, and when they passed, there were still many young girls in the shop to buy rouge gouache.
When Shen Chen'an passed, the shopkeeper of the shop recognized Shen Chen'an at a glance, and he probably saw Shen Chen'an when Shen's mother reported things.
"Young master, please. The shopkeeper led them to the back and poured some tea.
The shopkeeper's surname is Liu, and his single name is thirty-five or sixteen years old.
Shen's mother has said that this person is very smart and good at business, and with his ability, if he wants to make some fake accounts, she will definitely not be able to see it, but Shen's mother believes in him very much.
The only reason is that on a winter night about ten years ago, Liu Qi brought a little girl to Shen's mother.
There was still snow in the sky that day, Liu Qi was wearing thin clothes, the little girl was only six or seven years old, and she was wearing Liu Qi's cotton clothes and was held in his arms, her little face was pale and sickly, and she couldn't live at first glance.
Liu Qi knelt on the ground and begged Shen's mother to lend him some silver to treat the child.
Shen's mother asked him what his relationship was with the child.
Liu Qi just said: "This is what I picked up, and a woman threw her near the rouge shop." ”
Liu Qi paid attention to the child since he was thrown there, thinking that the woman was going to run errands, but it was dark and he didn't come back, and the child was dressed thinly and fainted directly.
Liu Qi immediately took the child to see the doctor, and the doctor said that the child had a disease and would not live long, even if he lived, he would have to rely on medicine.
When Shen's mother saw the child, she thought of Shen Chen'an, and was moved by compassion for a while, so she agreed.
Shen's mother said that when he looked at Liu Qi's eyes at that time, she knew that this Liu Qi would be grateful to her for the rest of her life.
Liu Qi saved a child, and many people in Beijing learned that there would be one or two sick and dying children in front of the rouge shop every year.
Some also leave a note on the child's body explaining the cause of the child's illness.
Some people will even say, Jingzhong is famous for your reputation, what can you do if you take in an extra child.
So much so that in the backyard of Liu Qi's house, there are many children, almost forty years old, and he has not yet married a wife.
When Shen Chen'an came to the shop today, the first thing he did was to understand the business status of the shop.
Song Yu was not interested in these, she came out mainly to see.
When Shen Chen'an checked things, Song Yu went out.
She is a playful person, and she has to restrain herself in the Shen family, and if she has the opportunity to be alone, she must have a good time.
Shen Chen'an was helpless, so he could only say: "Be careful on the road, don't be greedy and forget the time." ”
Song Yu answered and went out.
Rouge shop out of the door turned left and walked up to a high-rise building, which is the largest green building in Beijing, Fengyue Pavilion, opposite the most prestigious restaurant in Beijing, Jinghong Building.
Song Yu went up to Jinghong Tower and ordered some food. Sit in a private seat by the window and look out at the scenery.
It's probably just a crowd.
But in this surging crowd, Song Yu saw a familiar figure.
This would have been Shen Chenyi in the Academy of Literature.
Song Yu touched his chin, a little puzzled, and heard Shen Chen'an say that this second brother has always been pure-hearted and has few desires, although he does not sneer at those Yingying Yanyan, he can never be contaminated, otherwise he would not have married a wife now.
Previously, Shen's father found him a matchmaker and said that the matchmaker was rejected by him, saying that he did not have this idea in his heart.
Now it's like a change of sex.
After Shen Chenyi entered the door, Song Yu immediately went downstairs and followed.
One of her daughters will definitely be kicked out when she enters the Qinglou, and before entering the door, she quickly changed her appearance.
Song Yu's transformation technique, because of the limitation of ability, can only change into the person she knows, she only knows a few old men of the Shen family, and she can't change into them, Song Yu thinks about changing into a person she doesn't like very much, and she doesn't care about ruining his reputation.
Song Yu also deliberately changed a folding fan to cover half of his face, and his eyes were staring at Shen Chenyi.
Fortunately, Shen Chen Yi was worried and didn't care about Song Yu who was following behind him.
The old bustard here seemed to know Shen Chenyi, and when he saw him, he came to talk to him, but did not lead him elsewhere, but just asked him to stand there and wait, while the old bustard turned and went upstairs.
Song Yu hid behind the pillar, puzzled, why did this Shen Chenyi come here, no matter how he looked at it, he felt that he was not compatible with here.
When Song Yu was thinking, suddenly a palm fell on Song Yu's shoulder, Song Yu didn't notice it, her body froze, and she thought that she had been discovered, but no, she changed her appearance, and Song Yu's hanging heart suddenly let go again.
I saw her turn her head slowly, and saw two young people standing behind her, dressed in brocade and gorgeous clothes, who were noble sons who had never seen before.
Song Yu showed a strange and far-fetched smile at them: "Something?"
"Brother Shang is rare, doesn't it mean that he won't come to Fengyue Pavilion again. Said the young man in the blue shirt.
"Eh, Brother Wu's words are wrong, as we all know, the county lord of Yuan'an is a difficult lord, Brother Shang has been pursuing for many years without results, he must have seen the future and turned back. ”
"What Brother Yang said is extremely true. ”
So the two young men laughed.
Hearing this, the two of them knew Shang Wu, and the tone seemed to be joking, and at the same time mixed with a bit of sarcasm.
It seems that this martial arts has nothing to do with these two people!
Song Yu didn't like this martial arts, so naturally he didn't have to care about the reputation of martial arts and became unscrupulous: "The two of you also came to drink flower wine?"
Originally, they thought that Shang Wu would be unhappy because of the chat just now, but at this moment, it seemed that he was not affected at all, and the two couldn't help but look at each other a little, and the young master surnamed Wu said, "Isn't Brother Shang?"
Of course he wasn't, but he couldn't tell them that she was here to follow Shen Chenyi, if the two of them knew, Shen Chenyi's reputation would not be mentioned for the time being, it would inevitably affect the Shen family, and then affect Shen Chen'an.
So Song Yu smiled and said, "Since the two of you are here to drink flower wine, then I won't bother." ”
After that, Song Yu turned around and left.
Shen Chen Yi was being taken upstairs, if he didn't follow, there were so many rooms upstairs, but he didn't know where to go, and there was a trace of demonic energy here, this monster was extremely cunning, and the smell was very open, it was still very difficult to distinguish for a while, and this kind of place, even if he knew which room it was, it was not easy to open it directly, after all, he didn't know what was going on inside.
If it is a monster, then it is understandable why Shen Chenyi, who was well-behaved in the past, took the initiative to come to this land of fireworks.
But why did she choose Shen Chenyi, Song Yu had to think about Shen Chen'an, if the ultimate goal of that monster was Shen Chen'an, then she didn't want to take care of it.
Anyone who wants to hurt Shen Chen'an must be stabbed by Song Yu.
Song Yu was just about to catch up, but was dragged by the man surnamed Yang: "Since I met Brother Shang by chance today, it is the beauty of God, why don't you drink two glasses together and leave." ”
Song Yu was depressed, looked at Yang Gongzi and held back: "I...... Don't drink alcohol. ”
After that, he was about to leave again, but he was dragged back: "Brother Shang has changed sex, you didn't like to save alcohol the most, why did you quit drinking." ”
Song Yu silently clenched his fists, his endurance was about to reach the end, he stared at his eyes and squeezed out a sentence from between his teeth: "If you don't let go, believe it or not, I'll cut off your hand." ”
Alive, the hand that was holding his arm suddenly let go.
"Oh, Brother Shang is only kind when he talks like this. Yang Gongzi and Wu Gongzi glanced at each other, as if relieved.
It seems that these two people have been bullied by Shangwu, so when they saw Shangwu who was easy to talk, they couldn't accept it for a while, Song Yu wanted to ruin Shangwu's reputation, but he never thought that his reputation didn't need to be bad at all.
