Chapter 53: A Little World That Can't Go Back
"It's really refreshing to negotiate the conditions with the people of your Shen family! But what I want this time is very simple, that is, Chun Tao's deed of sale. I'm going to take Meng Jiu with me tonight, so I'm going to send it to me right away. ”
"That's all?"
"Hmm!"
"Then we'll make up our minds. ”
Not long after Shen Yu left, he sent someone to send Chun Tao's deed of sale.
After getting the deed of sale, Ye Fei was almost laughing. Originally, he used the oath with Zhong Shuqian to make a deal with Xiao Yihe, but he didn't expect that he could use it to make a deal with Shen Yu now, and he really made a fortune for nothing.
When night fell, while Shen Xiaoqing went upstairs, Ye Fei quietly took Chun Tao out of the peach orchard and came to a dim banyan tree outside the courtyard.
"Uncle, what are you doing!" Chun Tao was very nervous.
Ye Fei pinched Chun Tao's chin with his hand and smiled evilly: "There is no one in these four places, what do you think I want to do?"
Seeing Ye Fei approaching, Chun Tao pushed Ye Fei away in a panic, and said hurriedly: "Uncle, I can't help it!"
"Haha" Ye Fei laughed twice, and then took out the deed of sale he had just gotten from his sleeve.
"I just got it from my father-in-law, take it, and you'll be free from now on. ”
Chun Tao looked at the deed of sale steadily, and it took a long time to come to her senses, she raised her head, looked at Ye Fei excitedly, and cried and said, "Uncle, I didn't expect you to be so good to Chun Tao." However, Chun Tao is reluctant to Miss and you, and wants to continue to serve by Miss's side. ”
Ye Fei tore up the deed of sale and said, "Anyway, I have already torn up this deed of sale, whether you want to stay by her side and serve in the future, or leave the Shen family to be a chivalrous and righteous woman, it's all up to you." By the way, I haven't told the lady about this yet, do you want to say that you decide for yourself. ”
"Uncle!" Chun Tao's tears flowed more and more.
"Actually, I can't stand the crying of people the most, and this is something to be happy about. By the way, if you can't get along in the future, go to Hangzhou to find me. ”
After speaking, Ye Fei left first, while Chun Tao curled up and squatted on the ground, crying even more.
Back in Taoyuan, as soon as Ye Fei entered the courtyard, he heard a sound of "Xianggong" from upstairs.
He looked up, and Shen Xiaoqing was standing upstairs in front of the windowsill looking at him.
"Where have you been?"
"Uh, ha, went out for a walk. ”
"You go upstairs. ”
Ye Fei didn't expect that Shen Xiaoqing actually called him upstairs.
So he didn't say a word, and rushed up to the second floor with the fastest foot force.
"Slow down, don't rush!"
"Lady, what is the matter with me?" he asked.
Shen Xiaoqing handed him a stack of silver tickets and said, "There are five thousand taels of silver tickets here, but half of my savings should be enough to renovate your family's previous house." When the time comes, remember to hire a few people, and they can help you take care of the house when you are away. ”
"Lady, a few hundred taels is enough, where did you use so much money. ”
"You take it, you have to buy a lot of belongings, buy better ones, our family is not short of money. If it is not enough, you can write to me again, and I will send someone to Hangzhou. Shen Xiaoqing instructed.
"You really don't need so much!" Ye Fei smiled bitterly, "Lady, this money won't be what you saved as a dowry before, right? ”
"You!" Shen Xiaoqing frowned, "Are you going to be angry with me!"
"No, no, no, it's just a joke, don't be angry, lady. Ye Fei hurriedly made amends.
"When are you going to leave?"
"Tonight. ”
"Oh!" Shen Xiaoqing lowered his head.
"That lady, I'll go down if there's nothing to do. ”
"Hmm!"
Ye Fei turned around and was about to go down the stairs when Shen Xiaoqing suddenly said, "Huh, wait." ”
"Huh?" Ye Fei turned around.
Shen Xiaoqing stepped forward, and he didn't know when he had an extra piece of jade in his hand.
"Outside the door, there is a piece of jade to wear on the body. She said as she tied the jade pendant around Ye Fei's waist.
Seeing that her hands were trembling violently, Ye Fei's heart also became nervous.
After Shen Xiaoqing tied it, Ye Fei said: "Lady, but I don't have anything to give you, I'll give it to you when we meet next time." ”
"I don't lack anything. Shen Xiaoqing lowered his head and said, "By the way, when you arrive in Hangzhou, you have to be careful in everything, don't cause trouble, especially to control your mouth." ”
"Lady!" Ye Fei slowly stretched his hand forward, wanting to hold Shen Xiaoqing's hand.
However, when he touched Shen Xiaoqing's hand, Shen Xiaoqing put his hand behind his back.
He smiled and had no choice but to give up, so he waved his hand and said, "Lady, farewell!"
After the absence, the lights in the gardens in the Shen Mansion were turned off one after another, and in the dead of night, a carriage quietly left the Shen Mansion and rushed to Hangzhou.
In the carriage, Ye Fei yawned, and Meng Jiu sat and looked at him.
"Brother Ye, but I was forced to leave the house because of me?" Meng Jiu asked.
Ye Fei shook his head, then walked to Meng Jiu's side, patted Meng Jiu's shoulder and said, "The Shen family is not my home at all, and the place I go next is my Ye Fei's real home." ”
"Brother Ye's home, Hangzhou Golden Dao Ye Family?" Meng Jiu asked.
"Hmm!" Ye Fei nodded, "But Brother Xian, it's best to change your name when you arrive in Hangzhou." ”
"Brother Ye said this, he should have thought about it, right?"
"Xiao Yihe, Zhong Shuqian. Ye Fei said with a smile.
"To be honest, it's not funny. Meng Jiu said expressionlessly.
Ye Fei felt bored, so he said again: "Either my name is Zhang San, and your name is Li Si?"
Meng Jiu nodded, and then shouted, "Zhang San!"
"Li Si!"
The two said that the carriage had already left the boundary of Shaoxing.
The next day, as soon as the morning dawned, the door of the Shen family opened, and the famous thorn was handed over like a tide.
Steward Zhang personally came out to deal with the matter, and said in front of the heroes and heroes in front of the door: "Distinguished guests, Meng Jiu Meng Shaoxia of the Twelve Palaces of the Ladder Mountain has left the village, if you want to come to see him, please go back." ”
Listening to Steward Zhang, everyone was in an uproar and made a lot of noise in front of the door, insisting that Shen Yu come out in person to explain the matter.
In desperation, Shen Yu could only come forward in person and said in public: "Meng Shaoxia and his son-in-law Ye Fei left Shaoxing last night, and wanted to go to Jiangcheng to find the predecessor of the Sword Saint. ”
After a long period of atonement, the crowd dispersed.
Shen Yu returned to the Rhododendron Garden, and Mrs. Xie happened to make a pot of tea.
After sitting down, Shen Yu said with a tired face: "Everyone is finally scattered!"
Mrs. Xie poured Shen Yu a cup of tea and said with a smile: "The most important thing is that the one surnamed Ye is also gone." I've been worrying about it these days, what if Qing'er lives with him for a long time and falls in love?"
"yes, it's better never to come back. Shen Yu said meaningfully.
In the peach orchard.
When he went downstairs and saw that the house was empty and the yard was deserted, Shen Xiaoqing only felt empty in his heart.
Out of the house, she went to Ye Fei's favorite pavilion and sat down, her thoughts becoming confused.
She closed her eyes and rubbed her temples with her hands. Before Ye Fei didn't come, there was always only her and Chun Tao, but now that Ye Fei is gone, I feel like I'm back to the small world where there was only her and Chun Tao before.
At that time, she didn't have too many worries, reading and practicing swords were her favorite things, but now her hobbies have not changed, but her worries have increased a lot.
Everything was because of Ye Fei's intrusion, which made everything different. Now that Ye Fei is gone, she hopes that everything can change back to the same as before.
"Miss, eat something. Chun Tao came in with a pot of tea and a plate of pastries at this time.
Shen Xiaoqing poured tea while thinking about things. When she put down the teapot, she realized that she had poured two cups.
"Miss, my uncle is gone. Chun Tao reminded.
Shen Xiaoqing looked embarrassed, then looked up at Chun Tao and said with a smile: "I know, I poured it for you, sit down and eat together." ”
"Miss," Chun Tao smiled bitterly, "You forgot, Chun Tao never eats tea." ”
"Ugh. Shen Xiaoqing was speechless.
"Chun Tao has grown up with Miss since she was a child, and she knows a little bit about Miss. Chun Tao could see that during the days when she moved to Taoyuan, the young lady was very happy. Miss is happy, aunt is happy, Chun Tao is happy, sometimes Chun Tao is thinking, in fact, it would be good if she could be happy all the time. ”
"Chun Tao, do you miss your uncle?" Shen Xiaoqing said in a panic.
"Don't you want to?"
Seeing Shen Xiaoqing shaking his head, Chun Tao also shook his head with a smile.
"That's right," Chun Tao suddenly took out a jade pendant from his arms, "This is what Chun Tao found on his desk just now when he was cleaning up his uncle's room." ”
After putting the jade pendant on the table, Chun Tao walked out of the pavilion.
After recognizing that it was the jade pendant she gave Ye Fei last night, Shen Xiaoqing was about to cry.
It turned out that in Ye Fei's heart, she Shen Xiaoqing had nothing to be proud of.
"Kill you! Stinky Ye Fei, I will definitely kill you next time we meet!" she held the jade pendant tightly.
That little world that was broken can never go back.
