When she returned from Mrs. Shen's yard, Lan Xiang did not speak all the way, and occasionally she could hear her sighing heavily.
Liu Qiqiao remained calm along the way. On her wrist, there was a jade bracelet that Mrs. Shen had just rewarded her. It felt cold. Although the old lady had rewarded her before, it was only because the mothers rewarded her. Some scattered silver, or, pearl flower sachets, girl’s gadgets, but this is the first time such a valuable thing. Mother Zhou sent her out and said that this bracelet is old lady Shen’s dowry. These years , Even Madam Shen was not willing to give it, but gave it to her, hoping that she could take on the heavy responsibility and continue the blood of the Shen family.
After returning to where she lived, Lan Xiang went busy, Liu Qiqiao sat in a daze, touching the bracelet in her hand, and when Lan Xiang drew in the water and asked her to wash her face, she found out. He was already crying, tears shed on his face.
Lan Xiang handed her the twisted handkerchief, and said distressedly: "You don't have to agree, why are you so stupid!"
Liu Qiqiao put the towel on her face, her eyes were astringent, and she heard herself hummingly saying, "Don’t you have to have a lot of people, you have to have children, then, it doesn’t matter, anyway, I am married too. For him!"
Lan Xiang didn’t know what to say about her, she just looked at her new master, and quietly washed her face, “Why doesn’t it matter? You are not like me. You can go home if you sell yourself as a slave. Anyway, you and The eldest master does not have a complete house, and when the time comes, he will find someone else, and it will be better to suffer from a living widow!" There is no one here, and Lanxiang finally dared to say that although the eldest master is good, everyone will be gone. To give birth to him, he has to keep the festival for the rest of her life. She was afraid that Liu Qiqiao was too young to have any idea. She was so scared by Mrs. Shen and Mother Zhou that she was forced to agree. In the future, she will definitely regret it. Now , She still wanted to ask Liu Qiqiao to go back.
She didn’t want Liu Qiqiao to have already thought about it, and was determined, now listening to her, Liu Qiqiao knows that Lanxiang is good to herself, but she is also happy. Someone really thinks about herself and is good for herself. .
"Lanxiang, I won't leave. We will stay together in the future. Don't you like it?" Liu Qiqiao laughed: "If I'm lucky, I really have a son and a half. Let's watch him grow up together. Great, we still have this yard. The Shen family is really down. Let’s plant the land in the yard. We will grow more fruits and vegetables. I measured it with my steps yesterday. The land is more than one acre and one to three minutes later. , We block an open space under the window to make a chicken coop, and then raise some chickens and ducks, the life will be passed, how interesting!"
Lan Xiang looked at the way Liu Qiqiao's eyes glowed, and couldn't help being amused. She really couldn't think of what Liu Qiqiao said. If the yard is farming, and then raising chickens and ducks, wouldn't it be the same as in the countryside? After all, it was a wild girl from the village. Seeing too low, she has never seen the world, and nothing else. Buying this bracelet on her wrist alone will last three to five years. Poor child, she doesn't understand anything.
Of course Liu Qiqiao didn't know too much. She grew up in the countryside and her mother died early. She would do farm work when she was young. As long as there is land and nothing, she is not afraid.
On the second day, Mother Zhou came over early and brought Liu Qiqiao a normal dress, let her put it on, and asked Lan Xiang to comb her a normal maid’s bun, Lan Xiang wanted to follow, Zhou Mother stunned her, Mother Zhou led the way and took Liu Qiqiao to the back door of Shen's Mansion. There was waiting for a sedan chair. Before Liu Qiqiao got on the sedan chair, Mother Zhou asked something more and looked at Liu. Qiqiao got on the sedan and left.
Since marrying to Shen's residence, Liu Qiqiao has been out of residence for the first time these days.
Across the thin sedan curtain, she saw the sedan go through a path outside the back door, and then turned again, it was another path, and at the end, she came to the street.
The Shen family has changed, but the outside world has not changed.
It was early in the morning when the shop had just opened. A guy was unloading the door and opening the window. It was about to open. Liu Qiqiao looked over. The street was still so lively, with silk and satin shops, rice shops, inns, and tea houses. In the restaurant, Liu Qiqiao is a pure-hearted person, with an unpredictable future, so he came to look at the scenery outside.
Until dangling, the sedan chair turned to another street, and the scenery on the street slowly changed. There were no more shops, but various official roads and high walls.
Liu Qiqiao was shocked, but the sedan chair stopped suddenly. "Here!" someone said from outside the car door.
Liu Qiqiao got out of the sedan chair, and the sunlight outside had already risen to the old high, shining on the official wall in front of him, the towering blue brick wall built up the old high, I don’t know what it is inside, but there is a small corner on the corner. The small corner door, the butler who had been walking with the sedan chair by his side, walked up, knocked on the corner door lightly and squeaked, someone opened the door from the inside, and when he saw that it was the housekeeper of the Shen family, he nodded and opened the corner door to signal them. You can walk in.
The man was dressed as an official, and when Liu Qiqiao walked over, he kept staring at Liu Qiqiao. Liu Qiqiao was staring at him so that his heart was frowned upon. But the man didn't say anything at all, just let them in.
The butler took Liu Qiqiao inside.
Every time he passed the checkpoint, Liu Qiqiao kept his face down, but he also saw that the butler seemed to have taken out the silver and stuffed it quietly in the guard's hand.
I walked all the way in this way and finally reached a small courtyard. Someone was watching and seeing them come in. Open the door. The butler motioned to Liu Qiqiao to enter, and he stood by the door and talked with the guard.
The courtyard was very small, facing a three-room cell. The officer at the door was signaled by the officer at the door, and did not interrogate Liu Qiqiao. He directly opened the door and let her walk in.
It smelled of mildew inside.
Liu Qiqiao was very scared, very afraid to see the various instruments of torture and scenes of extorting a confession as the storyteller said inside. However, when she entered inside, she adjusted her eyes to the dimness of the inside, and finally could see clearly. It's a small room with a span.
There was only one table and one chair outside, the door was ajar, she pushed the door and walked in. Someone is standing in front of the only small window. The window is not like ordinary people's windows. It is very small and very tall. The person is very tall, but only to the edge of the window. He can only look up, look outside, and slap. A big piece of blue sky.
He turned around. Seeing Liu Qiqiao, he showed a surprised look.
Liu Qiqiao was wearing a hood. At this moment, he saw that this thin and tall man was the same Shen Yunong he married. However, he had lost a lot of weight after seeing him for a few days. The robe was still worn that night. The one that has hung loosely on his body.
"Hello, young master, the slave servant pleases the young master!" Liu Qiqiao stepped forward and gave a gentle blessing.
Shen Yunong was suddenly brought up from the prison last night and arranged to be in this small room. He was whispering in his heart. Suddenly, when a woman appeared here, he was shocked.
Listening to Liu Qiqiao’s words, I was faintly familiar. When Liu Qiqiao reached out and took off the hood on her head, she revealed her slapped small face. Shen Yunong said "Yeah!" and saw it. She comes.
"Why are you?" Shen Yunong hadn't seen someone from the Shen family for a few days. Now, even if he saw this concubine, he was happy and hurriedly took Liu Qiqiao's hand. "It's good at home, old lady, madam, they are all good, do you have to go up and down, do you want to save me out!"
Liu Qiqiao felt his hand hot and strong. She shook. She didn't know how to answer him. Although Shen Yunong looked at her at this time, it was as though she could see the Shen family through her. Like a big family, his eyes are stern. Although a circle of cyan stubble has been exposed on his chin, his appearance is still largely unchanged. His face is a little haggard. When he is so close, he sees bloodshot eyes in his eyes, Liu Qiqiao felt distressed suddenly. He used to be such a handsome person, and it was like a change of person for only a few days. Moreover, Liu Qiqiao didn't dare to look at him again. Moreover, after the autumn, I should ask about it. It's a pity, that's good. His looks are thousands of miles away, and I can't pick one out.
Shen Yunong looked at Liu Qiqiao's eyes, and felt a little uncomfortable. In those eyes, the obvious expression of pity shouldn't be the look she should have. He couldn't help but feel a little heartbroken when he saw Liu Qiqiao's eyes. : "What did the old lady say, why don't you send a smarter person over!"
He let go of Liu Qiqiao’s hand. The excitement when he first saw him passed away, and his face was full of displeasure, “You’re talking, what’s going on at home, but you are walking up and down, how about Mrs. Young? Mr. Yue, let his old man go and say something for me, but why did he catch me? Mr. Yue should have a way, how can I say, he is also a First-Class Shangshu!" He paced around in the small room, murmured in his mouth. Now, it has been eight days since he was arrested. For these eight days, from the shock at the beginning, to the doubts later, and then later, he faintly heard the prisoners say that he had violated Tianwei, and Shen Yunong was a little confused. I am just a merchant, and he always abides by the law. Although his family’s ancestral business came to him, although it hasn’t grown, it’s not going to decline. How come he was suddenly arrested and committed a lawsuit.
He said that he bought and sold land privately and killed people. This was clearly framed. Shen Yunong thought with disdain, I have a big family in the Shen family. What can I want? There are thousands of acres of fertile land in the family, where it is necessary to kill people, and what else to buy land.
"Master, you have suffered, the old lady asked me to bring this here!" Liu Qiqiao said. She glanced at it. There was only one table and one bed. She put things on the table. Inside were changed clothes. She looked at Shen Yunong, her face hot: "Master, do you want to... Do you want me to change your clothes?"
Shen Yunong turned his head, saw Liu Qiqiao, and sighed. He had never been so sloppy before. The clothes had not been changed. When he was in the big prison, the prisoners who were locked together were so scared that they did not close their eyes and sleep for a few days Feel it.
Liu Qiqiao saw that there was a basin on the side, walked over, soaked in the towel with the water, and twisted it again: "Master, let me wipe your face!"
