Shen Wen went back to the courtyard and whispered to Su Wanniang: "Tell Shen Xiang tomorrow that you saw a carriage following us outside. Next time you go home, ask two or three guards to accompany you."
Su Wanniang was startled: "Really?!"
Shen Wen nodded: "A carriage with a green cover, a coachman, two people inside, no weapons."
Su Wanniang was a little nervous: "Could it be bad for my brother? My father has only one seedling."
Shen Wen slowly shook her head: "I think it's aimed at you." She glanced at Su Wanniang. Su Wanniang turned eleven years old, and her stunning face, which will conquer the capital in the future, is already showing signs. She can only comb her bangs between her nose. Cover up a third.
Su Wanniang touched her face: "Then I'll wear a big hat." Only women from wealthy families wear veils and scarves, a maid just needs to wear a hat.
Shen Wen said seriously: "Be careful in everything."
If the fourth prince knew about Shen Wen and looked back, Su Wanniang would put on a big hat and would definitely hate Shen Wen to death. From then on, the guards found that the maid was wearing a cloth cap when she went in and out, and only her chin could be seen underneath, and she was always surrounded by guards.
After Ding Neishi knew about it, he realized that someone had seen them that day. But after much deliberation, at that time, only the "fat boy" Second Miss was the only one who saw it, she must not have discovered it, there must be secret sentries from the Hou Mansion nearby. He told the fourth prince that from now on, he could no longer peek at Su Wanniang in front of the Hou's mansion, because there were secret sentries watching over there.
The fourth prince nodded, but after a long time he said: "It shouldn't hurt to go once in a while." Waiter Ding didn't dare to speak anymore.
Shen Wen went to Su Wanniang's house that day, and saw that the woman Su Wanniang hired was very hardworking and the house was tidy. Su Wanniang's mother also looked clean. But she was out of breath when speaking, and Shen Wen saw in his mind that the blood in her heart was stagnant, which should be the so-called heart failure in later generations. Shen Wen knew that this kind of disease could not be cured by dredging a few vital points. Although Su Wanniang's mother was still alive, according to this state, she was just enduring life.
She didn't dare to speak out so directly, so she had to say to Su Wanniang: "Your mother's illness hasn't improved after so long, so you should find another doctor. Go find a doctor named Shi Helin, it is said that he is a master."
Su Wanniang frowned and said, "I've also heard about this man. Some people say that he is a master in the capital, but many people say that he is a liar. Most diseases cannot be cured, and he often kills people."
Shen Wen said: "That's because he dared to treat those difficult and suspicious diseases that others dare not treat, and he also dared to accept people who were dying." The cases he left behind are regarded as classics in later generations.
Su Wanniang nodded, a little worried about how to find it, Shen Wen said: "Go and tell Shen Xiang that you are worried about your mother's illness. I heard that there is such a person, ask her to help."
Su Wanniang smiled: "You've got her decided."
Shen Wen said: "She is very righteous. She went to save you when we met at that time, and she is even more sure to help now. Besides, she didn't do it. In all likelihood, she asked Shen Zhuo to do it."
Since Su Wanniang reminded Shen Xiang at Fragrant Leaf Temple that they came back early and avoided those troubles, Shen Xiang became close to Su Wanniang. After practicing martial arts in the summer morning, the two would sometimes walk back together, chatting and laughing, and then one would wake Shen Wen up, and the other would go back to take a shower to say hello.
Su Wanniang is older than Shen Xiang, and Shen Xiang gradually regards Su Wanniang as a sister who he can get along with.
This day, Su Wanniang just said that she wanted to ask Shi Helin, a strange doctor in the capital, to show her mother, but because she couldn't ask around, Shen Xiang took it all in: "I'm going to help you. Is it Shi Helin? I'll ask my third brother to look for it. Please come, let's go together when the time comes to see if he is really that weird."
Su Wanniang almost cried, she forced a smile and said, "Thank you Miss."
Shen Xiang clicked his tongue and said, "You are so boring, you are so out of touch! If you want to say it, you should say thank you, master."
Just as Su Wanniang was about to speak, Shen Xiang immediately said: "Don't say it now! You don't mean it at all!"
Su Wanniang wiped her face and said, "You are so annoying, you want me to cry on purpose."
Shen Xiang touched Su Wanniang with his arm: "Don't be like my little sister who is crying every now and then, it's like a wet towel, it's full of water when you twist it."
Made Su Wanniang laugh again: "You dare to say that about her, let's see if she doesn't cry to you."
Shen Xiang hurriedly said: "You must not tell her! I'm really scared." His tone was the same as Yang's.
The two said goodbye with a smile, and the autumn sun had just risen.
In September, the prince canonization ceremony was held, and the Marquis of Zhenbei came back from the border to observe the ceremony.
Mrs. Yang seemed to be going crazy, shouting east and west every day, directing the people in the mansion to wait, and started preparations a month ago: cleaning the house, repairing vegetation, buying food, making new clothes for Lord Hou, etc., followed by It's the same as Chinese New Year.
The solemn festival of August 15th was sloppy. Not only were there no moon-watching songs and dances in the Hou Mansion, but the children in the mansion were not allowed to go out to participate in the celebration of Beppu. They only let the kitchen make moon cakes, inside and out. Once it's released, it's over.
Although the old lady said a few sarcastic remarks, she couldn't help but smile all the time.
After saying hello on the morning of the second day of September, the servants reported that Lord Hou was approaching the capital, and that he should be able to enter the city today. Shen Yi asked the way, and was about to go out to meet him, Yang couldn't stop him, just as he agreed to leave the city, Shen Jian also wanted to go, Shen Zhuo was naturally unwilling to be left behind, and ran away without waiting for Yang to say anything else.
Not long after, someone said that the eldest son and the others rode out of the mansion, and the eldest lady Shen Xiang followed.
Seeing this scene, Mrs. Yang was both anxious and happy, looked at the little daughter who was snuggling beside the old lady, and sighed: "It's still Wen'er who is good, those people are always angry with me."
Shen Wen excitedly ran over and took Yang's hand and said, "Mother, will daddy have a lot of delicious food when he comes back?"
Yang smiled and nodded Shen Wen's head: "I know how to eat! I'm eight years old!"
The old lady said on the side: "It's good to eat! Wen'er is a blessed person."
Shen Wen twisted her waist shamelessly and said, "I listen to grandma!"
Everyone in the room laughed jokingly. Shen Wensi explained that the First Prince would definitely not be too happy when Zhenbei Hou came back today. His performance was conveyed by those eyeliners, which should give him a bright spot in his emotions.
It can be regarded as my compensation to you, after all, I will destroy everything about you, Shen Wen smiled maliciously.
At noon, Shen Yi sent someone to send a letter saying that he had welcomed his father outside the city, but his father said that he could not return home because he wanted to go to the palace to meet the saint. Several children accompanied him to the palace, where they would wait for him to leave the palace.
Yang frowned and said: "These children! How long will this wait?! Will it be so soon to see the emperor? It's better to wait at home."
The old lady sighed: "They haven't seen their father for many days, this is their heart. You sent someone to bring tea and meals, lest they don't want to leave the palace gate and have nothing to eat or drink."
Immediately Yang said: "Hurry up and prepare, give the eldest son and the others... oh, and Lord Hou, prepare some food and drink and send them over, don't be hungry."
Shen Wen has been waiting in Yang's room here, knowing that his father and brother will not come back so soon, but Yang and the old lady have no intention of leaving, and they didn't let her go back by themselves, so they waited together.
After having lunch together, Mrs. Yang asked Su Wanniang to take Shen Wen to the side hall at the back to take a nap, which meant that she still had to wait here, was it because she was afraid that Lord Hou would not have time to call Shen Wen when he arrived at the door? Shen Wen knew that this was a manifestation of Yang's anxiety.
According to Shen Wen's guess, the Marquis of Zhenbei will definitely not see the emperor so soon. The emperor probably asked him to wait until the palace gate was about to close to see him again, so as to express contempt and other emotions. This is the tragedy of being a loyal minister: the emperor would not rebel knowing that the Marquis of Zhenbei would not rebel, so besides not doing things to the extreme, there was no need to be too scruples about etiquette. In this way, the Marquis of Zhenbei would not be able to return home until dark.
Of course, Shen Wen would not tell Yang that: there is no need to show that you are smart in front of many eyeliners. She lay down on the bed and coquettishly said to Su Wanniang: "Sister Wanniang is sleeping with me!"
Su Wanniang lay helplessly beside Shen Wen, and Shen Wen whispered in Su Wanniang's ear: "Don't forget what I said last night."
Su Wanniang responded.
Sure enough, at the second watch (about 9:00 p.m. to 11:00 p.m.), someone outside reported that Lord Hou and the eldest sons had left the palace gate, and they should arrive at the mansion in half an hour.
Mrs. Yang ordered the whole mansion to light up the lamps. Although it was dark night, it illuminated Hou's mansion brightly. Yang Shi led Shen Wen to the gate, and heard the sound of cars and horses approaching from a distance, Shen Wen hadn't cried yet, but Yang Shi started to cry. Shen Wen had no choice but to wipe away tears.
There was a sound of dismounting at the door, and Yang was already shaking from crying. Others finally discovered where Shen Wen's crying temper came from.
Marquis Zhenbei walked in from outside the gate surrounded by several children. Yang was crying so hard that she stepped forward to salute, choked up and said, "Master Hou... you... you can be counted... you are back..." Then he used his sleeve Covered his face, weeping uncontrollably.
Seeing their normally strong mother crying so bitterly at this moment, the children's eyes turned red from crying.
Zhenbei Hou came to help his wife up, his eyes were hot, but he said in his mouth: "You... don't cry... so many people are watching..." He looked around, Shen Yi took the lead and turned his face to look elsewhere, only Shen Wen was still on the sidelines Weeping softly, blinking at Zhenbeihou.
Marquis of Zhenbei is not yet forty years old, but he has been stationed in Saibei for many years, which makes his face full of wind and frost, rough and dry skin, because of frequent frowning, there are deep folds between the thick eyebrows, and obvious wrinkles appear at the corners of the eyes.
Zhenbei Hou saw his little daughter, whom he had not seen for several years, grow from a pudgy baby to a chubby little girl, he was happy, he hugged Shen Wen, and said with a smile: "Wen'er is so big! "
Shen Wen hugged Zhenbei Hou's broad shoulders, and cried out, "Father, why did you come back..." Vigorously aroused Yang's crying that had just calmed down.
Zhenbei Hou hugged Shen Wen with one hand, pulled Yang Shi with the other, and said with a smile: "I'm back, haven't I? Don't cry."
Shen Yi came over and said to Shen Wen in a low voice: "Father is injured on his shoulder, don't let him hold it." During the time they were waiting outside the palace, he had already told the accompanying sergeants about Zhenbeihou's death. A lot of things have been inquired about.
Immediately, Yang raised her head and said, "Master Hou is injured?! Wen'er, come down quickly."
Zhenbei Hou hurriedly said: "It's okay, it's not the side that hugged her, and it's already sealed. I hugged Wen'er, and it's been a long time since I hugged her. She grows so fast, I will definitely not be able to hug her next time I come back."
Shen Wen put his hands on Zhenbeihou's shoulders and pretended to be dead, saying: "I won't come down, I want to be hugged by daddy!"
Several children glared at her, Shen Wen closed his eyes and ignored them. Consciously, she explored Zhenbeihou's wound, using consciousness to mobilize the congealed blood clots, combing out the cohesive veins, and using consciousness energy to hit several blocked vital points one after another.
Knowing that Zhenbeihou was injured, Yang couldn't stop crying, so she helped Zhenbeihou's arm and walked into the mansion.
Zhenbei Hou only felt that Yang's injured arm was sore after touching it, and it would suddenly hurt like a fire. He thought it was the days of fatigue that affected the scabbed wounds, but he didn't show it. Ren Yang pulled him and comforted the weeping Yang all the way.
When we arrived at the hall, the old lady waiting inside had already stood at the door, Zhen Beihou put down Shen Wen, and knelt down to salute the old lady: "I am not filial..."
The old lady also cried, helped Zhenbeihou to stand up, and said: "You let your mother worry about you..." Zhenbeihou was afraid that something would happen to the old lady crying, so he got up and helped the old lady, and said with a forced smile: "Isn't your son fine? Mother, don't worry." After speaking, she glanced at Yang Shi.
Knowing that she was not allowed to tell the old lady about his injury, Mrs. Yang cried and nodded, then signaled to Mrs. Qian. Mrs. Qian hurried out of the hall and said, "Serve dinner, hurry up! Serve dinner to everyone outside!"
The old lady took Zhenbeihou's hand, sat down together at the large round table that had been set up, and said, "Get the horse dumplings and the horse noodles, you need to use soup to nourish your stomach first. It's getting late, eat first, don't rush to change." Clothes, bathing, etc., you don’t need to pay attention to these in the mansion.”
The Marquis of Zhenbei had changed his clothes and washed his face when he saw the emperor, and he was not too dusty now, so he motioned for the children to sit down. Shen Wen unceremoniously sat on the side of Zhenbeihou's injured arm, which made Shen Yi raise eyebrows at her rarely.
Zhenbei Hou smiled, and lightly pulled Shen Wen's chubby hand and said, "Wen'er just sit here."
The old lady said to Yang who was standing beside her, "Sit down too."
Mrs. Yang shook her head and said, "I'll serve you." The old lady knew what Mrs. Yang wanted, so she didn't say anything else.
Marquis Zhenbei was injured on his right arm, and it was obviously inconvenient to hold chopsticks. In fact, he felt that his right arm was extremely uncomfortable, and he felt a little hot when he lifted it, and it hurt like hell for a while, and then he was convulsed, and he couldn't help frowning slightly.
With tears in his eyes, Yang graciously served soup, rice, and vegetables, which meant that he was about to feed the rice into Zhenbeihou's mouth with his own hands.
Shen Wen, who was sitting next to Zhenbeihou, took a big mouthful of food and looked down at the bowl in front of her, making people think she was concentrating on eating. In fact, she was consciously closing her eyes, according to the movements of Zhenbeihou's shoulders, she used energy to tear away the necrotic tissue that hindered blood circulation, and stimulated the surrounding acupoints again and again...
She was so focused that she didn't even notice that everyone put down their chopsticks one after another. Su Wanniang coughed softly behind her, Shen Wen suddenly raised her head and saw everyone looking at her. Shen Wen realized that his mouth was full of rice, and just now he closed his eyes...
The old lady smiled and said: "Wen'er is a child after all, she looks like she is about to fall asleep, so carefully put her face in the bowl."
Yang also smiled and said, "Wen'er has been waiting here for a day, now I can go back to sleep."
Shen Wen hurriedly chewed the rice in his mouth while pulling Zhenbeihou's sleeve, and said vaguely: "I won't go back, I want to guard my father."
Zhenbei Hou picked up Shen Wen and put her on his lap with a smile and said, "It's okay, if she falls asleep, I'll take her back in a while."
Yang said angrily: "Your..." Zhenbei Hou took a look at it, and quickly changed his words: "Don't spoil her..."
Shen Wen snuggled into Zhenbeihou's arms and closed her eyes like a sleepy child: She had already cleaned up all the stagnant tissue in the wound, and as long as she continued to dredge the meridians and stimulate the acupoints, the wound would heal faster...
She listened to Yang's order to remove the food, serve weak tea, and said a few more words. Mrs. Qian came over and said to Mrs. Yang that the people who came with the Northern Marquis of Zhen had already had their dinner and arranged baths and accommodation. Mrs. Yang was very satisfied. Qian said again in a low voice: "Master Hou also brought back a twelve or thirteen-year-old girl."
Yang was taken aback, Zhenbei Hou heard it, and said Yang said: "You can ask someone to bring the two children named Geng Biao and Wang Zhi who followed me and that girl."
Su Wanniang looked at Shen Wen, whose eyes were still closed in Zhenbei Hou's arms. Others might not be able to see the expression on Shen Wen's face, but Su Wanniang felt a sneer on it.
After a while, three people came in from the door, two were thirteen or fourteen-year-old boys, and one was a pretty girl.
Zhenbei Hou pointed to Yang's young man with a thick head and a thick head and said, "His name is Geng Biao." Then he pointed to another bright and pleasing boy: "His name is Wang Zhi." The two young men saluted.
Zhenbeihou said: "Their family members died when the Beirong invaded the border. My soldiers saved them."
Every year, a small group of Beirong troops cross the border to harass, loot villages, and rob food and people. Zhenbeihou said that his sergeant rescued them, but in fact he himself cut them off from Beirong's hands when he led his troops to chase down the Beirong soldiers who crossed the border. In order to save Wang Zhi among them, he also got an arrow on his right shoulder. He was not going to tell Yang these details, and continued: "They were young, and I looked very smart, so I brought them back to accompany Dalang and Erlang. They were born in bitter cold, and their tempers are stronger than those of rich and noble families. Dalang Erlang They will follow me to the north in two or three years, and they should be able to help Dalang and Erlang in the future."
Both Shen Yi and Shen Jian stood up and saluted, "Thank you father for worrying."
Yang looked at the two boys and said with a smile: "Geng Biao looked at Pu Shi, so he followed the eldest son. Wang Zhi is younger, so he followed the second son." The two boys saluted and thanked him.
Shen Wen slightly opened his eyes and looked at the two teenagers. Geng Biao's bulging face was full of confusion, while Wang Zhi's was full of joy.
Shen Wen knew through those historical materials that this drumming Geng Biao died in battle with his elder brother Shen Yi on the way to ask for help. He blocked more than a dozen arrows for Shen Yi and died with his arms open. scholar". However, Wang Zhi stabbed Shen Jian from behind when Shen Jian was surrounded and fighting with the enemy, causing Shen Jian to be seriously injured. Although he was seen by the guards behind Shen Jian and killed him angrily, Shen Jian was also hacked to death by the enemy.
They were also rescued by Lord Hou. Some became loyal comrades-in-arms, while others became rebellious white-eyed wolves.
It was the girl standing aside that made Wang Zhi do such a wolf-hearted thing. She looks timid, with crescent moon eyebrows, single eyelids, fair skin, and rosy lips, which makes people feel pity. If Su Wanniang's beauty is that kind of peerless beauty, then this girl is that bland and shy softness. Although she is not outstanding, she is easy to approach because of her simplicity.
At this time, Zhenbeihou pointed to her and said: "On our way back, we saw this girl selling herself, saying that her father died, and she was kicked out of the house by her stepmother, and she would not meet relatives here. How many dandies Such a kid was molesting her, and she cried to passers-by for help, so I bought her."
Shen Wen secretly rolled his eyes: It's really nothing new! Not much better than me.
Yang smiled and said, "Now I know who Wen'er learned from to soften her heart."
Everyone laughed, but Shen Wen pouted in dissatisfaction: This girl was named "Chun Zi" in her previous life and became Shen Xiang's maid. Shen Xiang went out to fight, but she didn't follow. After the fall of the Hou Mansion, she became the concubine of a courtier of the Eastern Palace.
Yang looked at the girl and said, "Look at her age, give it to Xiang'er..."
Shen Wen suddenly said: "I want her to be my maid. Mother said just now that I learned from my father to be soft-hearted. If my father bought it, it is naturally mine!" Then he blinked hard at Yang.
Yang looked at Shen Xiang, and Shen Xiang was extremely dissatisfied with Shen Wen's performance tonight: knowing that his father was hurt, he kept letting him hold him! Then, relying on his young age, he sat beside his father. Then I sat in my father's arms...
Such an ignorant younger sister, Shen Xiang disdained to be with her, she said impatiently: "My younger sister can give it to her if she wants it, and besides, she looks so delicate, she probably doesn't fit in my yard."
Shen Wen hurriedly said sweetly to Shen Xiang: "Thank you sister, I knew that sister is the best to me!"
Shen Xiang frowned: "Then you don't sit here, don't let dad hold you all the time!"
Shen Wen twisted his waist and lay in Zhenbeihou's arms and said: "No, I like to be hugged by Dad!"
Zhenbeihou said with a smile: "Don't worry about Xiang'er, Wen'er is very light, so it's okay to hug."
Shen Xiang pouted: "She's still light?! So fat! She must be heavy."
Shen Wen turned around and threw himself on Zhenbeihou's shoulder and said, "I'm not sinking!"
Zhenbei Hou only felt a burst of heat on his injured shoulder, and he was very comfortable. He shook Shen Wen with a smile and said, "Not fat or fat, neither heavy nor heavy..."
After talking and joking a few more words, the old lady said, "Master Hou is tired, everyone should rest."
The children all said good night and went out, Shen Yi signaled the two teenagers to follow, Su Wanniang said to the girl who was looking at Lord Hou with a cold face: "You follow us." The girl agreed timidly .
Out of the hall, Shen Yi frowned and said to Shen Wen: "Little sister, you are really wrong today!"
Shen Xiang followed immediately: "That's right! Is there anyone who pesters Dad that much?"
Several people criticized Shen Wen one after another, and Shen Wen began to sob: "I just... miss my father..."
Shen Xiang said sternly: "Since you miss Dad, you can't be so indifferent to him, what to do when you're tired of Dad's wounds?!..." It was another round of scolding.
Shen Wen cried hard, and finally Shen Yi sighed: "My sister is still young."
Shen Xiang said: "She is already eight years old, she should understand the truth!"
Shen Jian smoothed things over and said: "Okay, okay, my little sister won't be like this in the future, will she?" Shen Wen nodded vigorously, as if he had been wronged.
Shen Zhuo also persuaded Shen Xiang: "It's over, she's crying like this, so there's no need to talk about her anymore."
Several children left separately, Su Wanniang took the new girl and followed Shen Wen, who was still crying, to the yard along the path decorated with lights.
The new girl asked in a low voice: "What's the name of this sister? You are being polite, little sister."
Su Wanniang said indifferently: "You look older than me, so you don't need to call me sister. Since you are from the second lady's yard, you should be named after 'Xia' and the color. In the future, you will be called 'Xia Zi'." .”
"blind"? ! The girl choked unconsciously. She glanced at Shen Wen who was walking in front of her, and asked in a low voice, "Is this the name Miss gave me?"
Su Wanniang was a little stern: "I name the people in Miss's yard. If you don't like it, you can tell Madam." This means that you don't need to tell Miss, it's useless.
Xia Zi lowered her head slightly and stopped talking.
Su Wanniang remembered Shen Wen's whisper the night before: "Sister Wanniang, tomorrow, my father will bring back a girl. She is the eyeliner. I want to put her in my yard. You name her 'Xia Zi'... "
Xia Zi, an eyeliner named "Blind Man", this is Shen Wen's prank.
In the early morning of the next day, Xia Zi was called up. She was new here, and Su Wanniang assigned her to the lowest rank of maid. The leading servant girl at that level naturally assigns her to do the dirtiest job: cleaning the toilet.
Xia Zi can be raised so charmingly, of course, she has never done such hard things, and it is not easy to do them. Su Wanniang asked the toilet to be cleaned every hour, and someone would come to check it. If it was not up to standard, she would have to watch someone clean it up on the spot according to the listed regulations. If she couldn't finish it, she couldn't leave.
On this day, Xia Zi spent most of her time in the toilet, and she couldn't clean it no matter what.
In the evening, Shen Wen sat at the table indifferently, listening to Xia Zi's crying occasionally in the distance.
In the previous life, Xia Zi was assigned to Shen Xiang. Shen Xiang pitied her for her bleak life experience, and didn't let her start as a poor servant girl, but directly became a second-class servant girl. She usually only wiped the tables and chairs and served tea. After Shen Xiang's close maid, Chun Lu, got married, Xia Zi, Chun Zi at that time, became Shen Xiang's big maid.
When she first entered the mansion, Chunzi cast eyes on several young masters of the Hou Mansion. The Hou Mansion is the home of military generals, and the most taboo is for boys to indulge in the boudoir. They are afraid that if they lose their bodies, they will not be able to survive on the battlefield. The few sons never use maids. They have practiced martial arts since childhood, and they have trained their muscles. Mind, vitality is not chaotic. Besides, Shen Yi was about to get married, and he was only thinking about Liu Shi's docile appearance, and didn't care about him. Although Shen Jian was smiling on the surface, in fact he was indifferent in his heart, he stayed away from everyone and never got close to any servant. In this life, because he checked Su Wanniang's life experience, he always had doubts in his heart. He was wary of Su Wanniang's stunning beauty, and in his previous life he was even less interested in Chunzi. And Shen Zhuo has thoughts on the elegant Zhang Yunjin, so he naturally dislikes others.
Unable to get the favor of the sons, Chunzi showed her charm to the servants of the sons. The servant of the Hou's family usually travels with the masters in the capital, and has seen many beautiful maids, so they don't take her too seriously. Geng Biao, who had just entered the mansion, was a little dazed, and followed the eldest son wholeheartedly, actively practicing martial arts and reading, lest the eldest son think him stupid. Only the clever Wang Zhi took her flirting seriously, and was soon fascinated by it. He bought her all kinds of cosmetics and snacks with his moon silver.
But when Shen Xiang found out and asked her in private if she wanted to marry Wang Zhi, she cried and swore to Shen Xiang again, saying that she must serve Shen Xiang for the rest of her life.
When Shen Xiang goes to war in the future, Xia Zi refuses in every possible way under the pretext that she doesn't know martial arts and can't cause trouble for the eldest lady. After hearing the news, Chunlu, who is already married, returns to the mansion and accompanies Shen Xiang to the battlefield, and finally dies together.
Shen Wen sneered: She will not take the initiative to harm others, but she will not show mercy to a sent eyeliner either. This is Xia Zi's errand from the other party, and she should pay some price. Besides, Shen Wen believes that soon, she will not do these drudgery anymore.
Sure enough, after five or six days, Su Wanniang whispered to Shen Wen at night: "Xia Zi gave me this today." She showed Shen Wen what was in her hand: a piece of bluish-white jade pendant, engraved with the words representing happiness and longevity. The double lion play ball looks very beautiful.
People often say: gold has a price and jade is priceless, and a piece of good jade can be sold for a sky-high price, not to mention a good carver.
Shen Wen laughed and said, "Where did this come from? She was fully dressed when she came."
Su Wanniang said: "She said it was left by her own mother, and she has been wearing it around her neck."
Shen Wen whispered: "Although it was not given by her mother, it can't be regarded as a lie. After all, her mother and father are still alive, but they just sold her. You must pawn this, depending on how much money you have. If there is too much money, I will give your mother medical treatment. If there is not much money, I will show her the pawn shop note, saying that there is not much money, and you will not like it."
Su Wanniang nodded and said: "If I don't do this, it won't show that I need money. Then, transfer her to sweep the floor, do you think she will be stable?"
Shen Wen shook his head slowly: "That's enough, in winter, she still can't stand it when it's windy and snowy every morning. You wait for her to bribe you with something from her own father, this time it will be more expensive Yes, when you are done, transfer her to the needle and thread, and tell her that this is the greatest help you can do. Let the needlework person leave her alone, she will come out casually, and let her give you the same as before. People with money live together."
Su Wanniang said, "So it looks like we have nothing to guard against her?"
Shen Wen smiled and said nothing: Otherwise, how could she seduce people from all walks of life again? How can I confuse Wang Zhi again? How to deliver the message? Could it be that the other party sent someone else
The next day, Su Wanniang went to the pawn shop. The jade pendant was very valuable, but she only pawned it for ten taels of silver. Then she went back to the yard happily, and immediately transferred Xia Zi to sweep the street. Although street sweeping requires getting up before dawn every day, and cleaning the courtyard three times a day, it is much better than cleaning the toilet, Xia Zi immediately agreed.
Naturally, Shen Wen couldn't go to the prince's canonization ceremony. Unlike the festive atmosphere in the city, Zhenbeihou's mansion was full of heavy feelings on the day of the prince's canonization ceremony: Zhenbeihou was going back to northern Xinjiang after the ceremony, and Yang Shi packed the items for Zhenbeihou to take back, and couldn't be happier.
Zhenbei Hou left early in the morning, and none of the children left the house all day long. It was getting dark, and it was rumored that the Marquis of Zhenbei had returned to his residence, and all the people gathered in the hall. Zhenbeihou looked calm, without saying anything, he asked Chuanfan to have dinner with everyone.
The dishes on the table were rich, and the head of the house, Mrs. Yang, once again served the meals for her mother-in-law and the Marquis of Zhenbei in person. The meal was very dull, the old lady ate very little, and Yang always looked like she wanted to cry but forced herself to laugh. When Shen Wen saw Zhenbeihou these days, he gave him some consciousness massage. Now his shoulders are completely healed, but the way Zhenbeihou is holding up the chopsticks looks like the chopsticks are heavy. Shen Wen looked back and forth between his father and the old lady while chewing like a little mouse, wondering what should have happened at the grand ceremony.
In her previous life, she was not close to this father, and his father didn't come back often, Shen Wen always felt that his father was far away from him. Until his father died in the end, Shen Wen never knew his father. She thought of her father, only remembering that he was very old, and often had a sullen face and no smile. Shen Wen never acted like a baby to his father, nor did his father say a few words to himself. Even after she died, her father's face was blurred.
Now she looks at it with a mature thousand-year-old eyes, Hou Ye is just a young and middle-aged man who is not yet forty years old. He is the only son in the family, and he has shouldered heavy responsibilities since he was a child. He never said no to his father and mother, and naturally he never had any resentment towards the emperor. Shen Wen felt that his grandfather died too early. He let his father become the leader of the first army when he was in his thirties. He could only pay attention to the battlefield. .
After the meal, Zhenbei Hou told the children some non-brained words such as practicing martial arts and reading books, and then let them go back to sleep.
Shen Wen hurriedly returned to the courtyard, yawned and said to Su Wanniang, "I'm so sleepy!"
Su Wanniang knew that when Shen Wen did this, it was when she wanted to go out at night, so she hurriedly said: "Miss, go to bed quickly." She loudly asked the people in the yard to prepare bath water and so on.
After Shen Wen washed up, she changed into the night clothes Su Wanniang made for her in the dark room, and covered her face with a black cloth.
Su Wanniang asked softly, "Where are you going?"
Shen Wen replied in a low voice: "It's the Hou Mansion, I have to hear if Dad and the others are whispering."
Su Wanniang was startled, but then felt relieved: so what if she was caught? This is the second lady. She smiled and said, "If you get caught, you can just cry." Then she thought: "Actually, you don't need to cry, just play tricks."
