Deep in the secluded alley, Yuan Shen stood for a while, until the child and the driver came to urge him to slowly get on the bus. After another bumpy ride, it was time to return to Jinyangfang, where the wealthy lived.

    Yuan Mansion is an ancient house built after several generations. More than ten giant trees arranged in the number of stars have long grown into towering ancient trees. The overwhelming strong branches are covered with thick accumulations. Snow, the group caged the entire mansion, vast and deep.

    When Yuan Shen walked here when he was young, even if the old servant led the lamp, he often felt scared. But his mother said to him: The things in this world, if you are not afraid, will not come. The moon is difficult to be full, and the people are difficult to complete. You have to learn to get used to this world.

    Now he is no longer afraid.

    Back to the residence, a kind-hearted old woman came forward to greet him and said with a smile: "Young master is finally back, and you won't be afraid of the cold if you go out early in the morning." Be careful to change clothes with hot soup.

    "What is mother doing?" Yuan Shen asked with a steaming handkerchief to warm his hands.

    The old woman was slightly startled, and replied, "The madam is still burning incense and praying. Is there something for the son to find his wife?" The mother and son usually only meet once every three or five days.

    Yuan Shen made a move and said, "Tell mother not to be too tired, just rest early."

     

    He also wanted to tell his mother that the first time they met, he felt that he was very similar to that little girl. Even if the lights are bright and the world is reunited, he still likes to follow behind the crowd, and Yu Yu is still alone. There is a little trouble, first of all, to be vigilant to protect yourself, to doubt the intention of the other party, not to be sure of getting out of the whole body, and never to take risks lightly.

    Yuan Shenhou leaned against the hidden sac, then covered her face with a hot handkerchief, smiled and thought, this time she should be obedient to spread the word.

    …

    Someone was right this time, and Shaoshang no longer dared to delay.

    If this matter were changed to the dormitory boss blogger, that model girl who grew up as a monitor and top student and group secretary, she would probably be angry 'Why do you want me to do this and why do you threaten me' , but Shaoshang, the trainee Taimei, doesn't take it seriously. Do people need a reason to bully you? This is the case in socialist towns, not to mention this feudal society.

      Distinguish who can be provoked and who can't be provoked, so that the prodigal son can turn back neatly. Unlike the snotty girl, when her head was really hot and she was fooled into stealing, she helped people to look out for the wind. If her parents later washed dishes abroad and opened a small restaurant, they could have picked her up, and I don't know how long she would have been entangled.

    As soon as he returned to the house, Shaoshang didn't even drink any saliva, so he ran to Sang's house, only to see Sang's holding a small silver knife to trim Cheng Zhi's face and beard, With a basin of hot water and soap ointment, plus a can of moisturizing cream. While the silver knife is scraping, the old husband and wife are still sweet and sweet.

    One said: Madam's fingertips touched my husband's face, it was really tender like a spring branch and a flower bud.

    The other said: You laugh again, laugh again, I will scratch your face, then Jungu will cry down the city wall!

    One more thing: There is nothing on my body that is not my wife's, let alone shave my face, my wife can embroider if she wants, Xiaosheng will listen to you...

      , This time, he stepped out of footsteps and woke up the middle-aged mandarin ducks inside.

    —"I have something to say to my uncle, please refrain from it for the time being." She had a serious expression on her face.

    Cheng Zhi pulled a hot handkerchief to cover his face, and said angrily: "Why do you avoid it! Didn't you see the elders busy? What is the most important thing, what about it later." Eye-catching dead girl!

    Sang Shi smiled and poked her husband's forehead, and pulled Shaoshang affectionately: "Don't pay attention to him, what's the matter with you, talk about it."

    Shao Shang kept shaking his head, he had to avoid Cheng Zhi, Cheng Zhi couldn't beat his niece, he wanted to leave, but Sang Shi stopped him and said, "Coil, tell me, my business, Your uncle doesn't know." She had already guessed a few points.

    "Do you really want me to say it? Well, I will say it!" Shao Shang saw that the old **** of Sang was determined, and thought it would be better not to hide it from his uncle, so he said, "There is a man named Yuan Shen recently. He found me and asked me to pass a message to my aunt, and I dragged a mess of letters, but I didn't remember it. In short, it means that there is an old person who cares about you, please just say a few words."

    After she finished speaking, she quickly stared at Sang Shi's expression. Who knows Sang's face is blank: "Yuan Shen? Yuan Shanjian? Isn't that the eldest son of the Yuan family in Jiaodong? Except for the banquet guest that day, I have never seen him." She thought it was another person.

    Cheng Zhi punched and slapped the palm: "Oh, I remember, is this Yuan Shanjian the little disciple he accepted that year! Didn't he even run up to your brother to be proud of it? Let's talk about being beautiful and talented."

    Sang Shi snorted and said with relief: "It was him." He turned around and asked Shaoshang, "Then what is he going to do?"

    Shao Shang vomited blood: "Didn't I say it? The old man is concerned, and only wants a few words... Well, actually I don't know what he wants to do. The surnamed Yuan asked me to pass on this sentence, There's nothing else..." The ancients really hate it, can't you explain it more clearly?

    Sang Shi puzzled: "Just a few words, what a few words, I haven't seen him for more than ten years... ah... I remember." She turned to her husband, "Didn't we meet him on the way back to the capital? Well... oh, I know what he meant."

    As he spoke, he took out a wooden slip from the desk, wrote on the wooden slip 'cough has been cured, do not read' six beautiful small characters, handed it to Cheng Zhi, and said, "You ask someone to send it to you. Go over there."

    Cheng Zhi took it over and looked at it, laughing: "It turned out to be this, you remember. At that time, he kept talking about it, and you told him that you were cured." He didn't say much. What, he went out and gave orders.

     Shao Shang tugged at the Sang Shi, and said in surprise: "This is the end?" The problem was solved in just six words, then she had been entangled with Yuan Shen's fellow for so long, almost causing a **** case! "You don't even write a letter on your head!" That way she can peek at who it's for.

    Sang Shi smiled and said, "He knows my words, so he doesn't have to write them."

    Shao Shang held his knees weakly, squatting on the velvet cushion, like a sluggish little frog.

    She looked at the Sang family resentfully: "Third aunt, you don't want to tell me the story?" For example, who is the surname of 'that person', and how is your relationship entangled... ?

    Sang Shi picked up the small silver knife and tried the blade with his fingertips: "It's a long story."

    Young businessmen are willing to give up: "Let's talk slowly."

    Sang Shi glared: "When others say the words 'long story', they mean they don't want to talk."

    "Then I won't ask." Shaoshang was helpless, she knew that the Sang family seemed to be easy-going, but she had a firm mind, so she had to settle for the next best thing: "But my aunt can always tell me that the surname is Why didn't Yuan's come to you directly and tell you that he had to go around such a big circle."

    Hearing this, Sang stopped the small silver knife in his hand, pondered for a long time, and then smiled bitterly: "...because, I once said to someone, 'In the future, you are fine, you Don't come to see me, don't send me any letters or objects, whether it's your relatives, friends, friends or disciples." But when I was young, I was angry, but that person was a stubborn person and promised me."

     

    Seeing that she didn't speak for a long time, Mrs Sang asked with a smile, "What's the matter with you, what about me? You look so bored."

    Shao Shang shook his head: "I think what my aunt said about Zhou Yan almost blocked all the ways for that person to come to you to talk things out."

    These words sounded outrageous at first, but after thinking about it, they did cut off all the ways to contact Sang directly.

    Because of the old relationship, people who knew it back then might not be willing to spread the word—for example, Sang’s brother, and the rest of the Cheng family, Yuan Shen obviously didn’t want to tell everyone about his teacher’s private affairs Know. The messenger wanted to be intimate with the Sang family, and he couldn't talk too much with the Cheng family, so it was his turn.

    In fact, I am not the most suitable candidate. If Cheng Yu was older, mother-daughter communication would be more suitable, but unfortunately Cheng Yu is too young to be self-defeating.

    Sang Shi didn't expect the young merchants to say this, and was momentarily disappointed, thinking that a woman will be lucky if she has no chance to say this in her life. The two of them were silent for a moment, and Sang Shi suddenly remembered something and became excited again: "By the way, how did you meet that Yuan Shanjian, where did you meet him, and when."

    Shao Shang is not surprised by this series of questions, and sighed: "This matter is also 'a long story'."

    Sang Shi glared at her, Shao Shang looked back innocently, and both of them looked at each other for a while and both laughed.

    Sang shook his head: "It doesn't matter if you don't tell me, look back at your mother and ask, you have to think of an excuse. Your mother doesn't care about you, but you went out to meet someone , where she's been, she doesn't know."

    Shao Shang pretended to be lofty and said: "No, no. As long as my aunt doesn't say it, no one should know that the surname Yuan asked me to spread the word."

    How smart is the Sang family, and immediately asked: "You two met in private?" His face couldn't help but look suspicious.

      , if I have private affairs with that Yuan Shen, call me..."

    "Stop, stop!" Sang hurriedly stopped, slapped Shaoshang's mouth lightly with one hand, "Little friend! Can I swear indiscriminately? What's the problem, men and women love each other. Changqing, just keep the etiquette..." She saw that Shaoshang was anxious to get angry again, and hurriedly said, "Chengchengcheng, I believe in you, can't I believe in you?!"

    Shao Shang stared at Sang and threatened Sang for a long time, and said angrily: "Uncle is not allowed to say it, otherwise, I will ignore you again! Speaking of it, it is all for the sake of my aunt. implicated!"

    Who knows that Sang's thinking is different: "When people sit at home, disasters come from the sky. In life, unless you are alone without relatives and no reason, no one will be implicated. The important thing is that you suffer The response after being implicated..." She picked up her eyes and smiled, "It seems that your response is not very good. Did you make people take advantage of your shortcomings?"

    Shao Shang's face turned green when asked, and he admitted sadly: "Yes. , it becomes me and I have it. Therefore, I plan to quickly cut the mess and settle the settlement quickly." All in all, it was because she always thought she was Yu Cailing.

    Sang Shi smiled slightly, Shao Shang may not know, she was born with a look that makes people want to tease the fluff of her beard.

    Seeing that Sang Shi was silent, Shao Shang said quickly: "Auntie, you must not say, there is also an uncle."

    Sang's full assurance: "Okay, I will never say it. If your uncle dares to say it, I will drive him out of the house!" Shaoshang is not a hypocritical person, listen to what she said. Absolutely, Sang Shi really believed that there was nothing else to do with the two of them.

    In the next few days, in order to prevent Mrs. Xiao from coming to ask questions, Shao Shang held his breath and waited in full force. Who knows that no one has come to ask her? ! She wondered, is the tigress taking a nap? However, it's not all the same-

    In the past few days, Mrs. Xiao will occasionally look at her face and posture with worried eyes, looking at Shao Shang’s hair;

    Cheng Shi saw his eyes becoming more and more smug, as if the water radish planted in grandma's back garden won the first name of the town's vegetable fair;

    The most bizarre thing is the eldest brother Cheng Yong, He Qi is an upright person. Recently, when she met Shao Shang, she looked a bit dodged. She wanted to find out who Yuan Shen's teacher was, but she never knew. Wish.

    What she didn't know was that Mrs. Xiao knew about the charcoal donation that night; Restrained in words and deeds, but the eyesight of old servants is sharper than they imagined—

    After dinner that day, Cheng Shi held two volumes of the political discussions in the court recorded by Wansongbaimenke, and slowly told the eldest son, Mrs. Xiao sat high on the top of the cubicle and asked The two old stewards of the warehouse asked Cheng Cha how to act, but as they were talking, they brought out Yuan Shen and directly led Cheng Shi and his son over.

    "...that's all they said?" Mrs. Xiao frowned.

    The steward said: "The old servant never left, the little girl and the Yuan only said these few words, there is nothing else to do."

    Mrs. Xiao turned her eyes to her son, Cheng Yong hurriedly said: "That's right. My son talked about ci and fu with Yuan Shanjian, and he also mentioned it with Niao Niao." In fact, he just mentioned it casually. sentence.

    "What about the chacha?" Mrs. Xiao hesitated, "Has she not seen Mr. Yuan?"

    The deputy steward shook his head and said 'never seen'. The steward on the side hurriedly added with a smile: "At that time, wasn't San Niangzi and the old servant ordering goods in the back warehouse?"

    Mrs. Xiao was a little disappointed.

    Cheng Yong groaned in his heart and cursed himself crow-mouthed, really afraid of what to do.

    He hurriedly said: "It's good to be polite in words and deeds. If there is nothing else, the two old men should go back and rest." These two are old soldiers who have followed their parents for many years, and they are stable , I went to manage the warehouse only after I was injured in the battle.

    The second servant was about to retire, but Mrs. Xiao caught a glimpse of the deputy steward with a smile on his face, but after thinking for a moment, she asked the director to go back in advance, leaving the deputy steward behind .

    "If you have something to say, just say it." Mrs. Xiao said, "Is there anything wrong."

    The steward shook his head: "There is nothing wrong with the little girl, and she speaks properly. However, that Mr. Yuan..." He couldn't help but smile, "Looked at us a few times."

    He has seen the world too. For example, a son of a noble family like Yuan Shen, who observes etiquette, met a little girl for the first time without an introduction from his elders.

    Yuan Shen had a friendly attitude, nodded and smiled at the servants, but the old servant noticed that most of his eyes were on his daughter-in-law (actually, he was watching the reaction of the young businessman), and when the daughter-in-law said After saying 'It's a poem, not a poem', he even smiled like a spring breeze, the kind of joy that really exudes is really not polite.

    Cheng Shi and his son and Mrs. Xiao had different expressions after hearing this.

    "Our little girl is lovable." The steward smiled, as if a grandfather's proud and beautiful little granddaughter was favored by others

    Mrs. Xiao forced a smile and said, "It's fine if you know about it, don't tell anyone else."

    The steward quickly withdrew his smile, held a military fist, and replied solemnly: "The old servant knows that the reputation of the female son is important, so he will never say much." No one has yet to say, but they can't gossip.

    After saying this, he bowed and retire.

    Cheng Shi stroked his beard with a pretence Now. I'm ordering the goods, and it's not that I won't let her see that Yuan Shanjian!"

    Mrs. Xiao let out a weak sigh. At this time, she could see the sequelae of the book case. Whenever she showed a little bit of displeasure with her daughter, her husband and son would suspect that she was eccentric again. She scolded her husband lightly: "What nonsense are you talking about, how can I think like that?!" If it's a pity for Cheng Cha, it's not that it's not, but sometimes it's fate.

    Cheng Shi said proudly: "Young man, what do you admire for Shao Ai... Hey, Yong'er, how do you say that?"

    Cheng Yong grimaced: "I know **** and admire Shaoai."

    "Yes, that's it." Cheng Shi patted his thigh, "Okay, you can go back first. Don't tell the curls about today's affairs, lest the children think wildly."

    Cheng Yong responded, bowed to her parents and stepped back.

    Cheng Shi saw his son leave, then turned to his wife and said, "What's so annoying. Then Yuan Shenruo really took a fancy to you and came to ask for a kiss. We agreed. A few days ago, you Didn't you ask me to inquire about his character? Not lustful, not addicted to alcohol, not arrogant or arrogant, very upright, and very attractive to His Majesty, in the future... Maybe he will be ranked third... I am very optimistic about it. , alas, we are not worthy of the honor of the Yuan Clan in Jiaodong."

    Speaking of this, he sighed: "It is estimated that people will see the curling well, so take a second look. Don't think about it too much."

     To put it horribly, if it weren't for the chaos in the world, which gave them a chance for the heroes of the grass, the family backgrounds of the Yuan Cheng family were even more different.

    Mrs. Xiao suddenly said: "I won't let Yao Yao be a concubine." No matter how noble the family is, she is not willing.

    Cheng Shi was taken aback: "What do I think you are thinking, it turns out to be this, didn't we say it earlier? It would be better to call the curled smooth and comfortable "No matter what, he can still protect his daughter.

    Mrs. Xiao smiled, and then said loudly: "Sir, don't belittle yourself! What is worthy or not, we have never bullied the people, never killed the good, and protected the elders of one party. , to be loyal to His Majesty and to pacify the chaos, to fight with your own abilities, and to look up to the world, what is there to pity yourself! Is the aristocratic family forever unchanged, those who follow the emperor to help the emperor, those who follow the wrong tyrant, even if they are not The extermination of the clan is also on the verge of dying. There are also those who want to protect themselves but are killed by the military disaster. It has only been a few years. If there are no more children in the clan who can turn over, can they still be called in the future?!"

    "Well said!" Cheng Shi exclaimed loudly, holding his wife's shoulder with a big fan-like hand, hugging him in his arms, he was full of gratitude and pride, "If you are a wife, what can a husband ask for! "

    Tears flashed in Mrs. Xiao's eyes, she thought: She is really blessed.
