Oil Paper Umbrella and Tofu Brain

Not long after Shen Muyuan's wedding, Master Shen passed away.The happy event that hadn't been withdrawn was immediately replaced by a funeral event.The whole Shen family wore filial piety and wept unceasingly.Master Shen traveled all over the world in his early years, and his business was prosperous all over the world, and there was an endless stream of people who came to express their condolences.

Shen's family guarded in the mourning hall, accepting condolences from relatives and friends.Li Li knelt down in front of Master Shen's coffin and cried loudly, hoarsely.Young Master Shen took the hand of his heavily pregnant wife, and knelt beside her chair, the husband and wife burst into tears.

Shen Muyuan described his grief, and knelt beside Lili with Xiang Ling.

Classmates and old friends come over and burn incense, and they always come to comfort them.Pat him on the shoulder lightly, expressing his condolences.

Suddenly a thin figure flashed by the door, Shen Muyuan suddenly raised his head, his gaze fixed.Gu Bai handed the white bag to the housekeeper in charge, and bent over to sign the book.Dressed in plain clothes, he walked slowly, and devoutly offered three pillars of incense to Master Shen.He stepped up and walked towards Shen Muyuan.The eyes of the two collided, and the world was suddenly silent.

Gu Bai half-kneeled down, before touching Shen Muyuan's shoulder, the man stretched out his hand to him, Gu Bai firmly held that hand without any hesitation.Shen Muyuan's eyes instantly became hot.

"Brother Mu Yuan, my condolences."

Clutching Gu Bai's hand tightly, rubbing his thumb unconsciously, Shen Muyuan asked in his heart, why you lost weight, but you can't eat well or sleep well?

Gu Bai raised his other hand to pat him on the back, Shen Muyuan lowered his head and pressed against his chest.The familiar warm breath hit his face, Shen Muyuan couldn't help himself, sobbing loudly.Xiang Ling, who was on the side, was taken aback. She had never seen her husband cry so sadly, and she couldn't help but feel even more saddened.Couldn't help but choked up and called out, "Sister."

This sentence made the two of them startled.Gu Bai looked at the twitching little lady in front of him, maybe it was because of crying, she was a little different from the picture, but even so, she could see her appearance was elegant, graceful and dignified.

Xiang Ling nodded to the young master and said blessings, Gu Bai returned the salute, feeling bitter in his heart.

Shen Muyuan let go of Gu Bai, with lingering eyes, "I'm very happy that you can come." He lowered his head sadly, and said in a low voice, "Gu Bai, I failed you. I only hope that someone will love you and love you in the future."

Gu Bai nodded, got up to say goodbye, and left slowly.

It wasn't until the figure completely disappeared that Shen Muyuan came back to his senses, his eyes were sour, his chest was congested, and he passed out when he rolled his eyes.

When he woke up again, he found himself lying on the bed.

Just had a long dream.Gu Bai said, since the older brother is married, the younger brother should also be married.He watched Gu Bai bring the beautiful lady in red into the bridal chamber.He shouted alone, no, no!But no one has ever heard of it.There is only one voice echoing in his ears, he only hopes that someone will love you and love you in the future.When Gu Bai smiled tenderly and was about to untie the woman's belt, he woke up with a start.The pain in the chest was terrible, and it took a while to recover.

Lying down for a while, just about to get up, he found Xiang Ling sitting on the couch, sleeping soundly on the edge of the bed.

Reaching out and gently pushing her, Xiang Ling raised her head, drowsy.

"Xiang Ling, it's hard for you to stay up late these days, go to bed and sleep for a while." After speaking, he got out of bed and prepared to go out.

Xiang Ling hurriedly stopped him.

"Sir, the doctor said that you fainted due to lack of energy and blood due to eating too little. I'm warming up red bean soup, you can drink a bowl first."

Shen Muyuan paused, looked at the red bean soup on the table, turned around and sat down, Xiang Ling obediently made him a bowl.

"Sit down too." Fuzi took another bowl and pushed it in front of Xiangling.

Xiang Ling was happy, took a spoon to scoop up a mouthful of red bean soup, it was sweet and glutinous.

Shen Muyuan behaved calmly and drank a bowl of red bean soup very quickly, "Xiang Ling, I have something to discuss with you."

Xiang Ling looked at Shen Muyuan with a pair of watery peach blossom eyes in confusion.

"If it's just you and me, can you call me Young Master Shen?"

Xiang Ling was at a loss, and was about to ask why, when Mr. Shen came in.Described as exhausted and asked about his younger brother's health, the two brothers went to the mourning hall together.In this way, Xiang Ling has no chance to ask further questions.

Master Shen's funeral was decent, and his relatives were in mourning afterwards.During the filial piety period, there is no entertainment, no alcohol or meat.The body and speech are all mournful.

Shen Muyuan lived in a shed next to Shen's father's tomb, and stayed there for three years before returning slowly with a haggard appearance.

In Shen's mansion, Li Li already looked like a young adult. When he saw Shen Muyuan, he brought his younger brother and his uncles to surround him and call out.The whole family ate together affectionately, and Shen Muyuan took Xiang Ling back to the big house given by the old man.In the study, the two sat opposite each other.

Shen Muyuan looked through the account book and couldn't help sighing, "Xiang Ling, you really have such a talent for business, compared to my elder brother, you can be regarded as a woman."

Xiang Ling said, "Brother Shen Qing, if I hadn't married you, I'm afraid I wouldn't be in this situation now."

"In the end, I'm sorry for you."

Xiang Ling grinned.The past few years have passed, and the panic and panic when I first became a wife have long since disappeared.After experiencing the tempering of the market, the behavior and work are more calm and clear.

"It's good to talk about the past. Let me judge others. If I stand in your position, the only thing my father entrusted before he died, I can't do it. What's more, you definitely didn't marry a wife from the very beginning. Determined to let down which woman, but there are some things in the world, if you don’t want to do it, you can force it, I don’t blame you.” The show turned for a while, paused, and said, “I went back to my mother’s house last month, my sister married It’s been more than a year for the magistrate of Xuzhou, but my life is far worse than mine. I always thought that if I marry my husband and follow my husband, I will have a son as soon as possible. But in the end, you have been good to me these few years .Compared to my original upbringing at home, I am more and more like you."

Shen Muyuan also smiled, "Like me?"

Xiang Lingqiao blushed, "After all, I also want to find someone who loves each other for a long time."

After finishing speaking, as if he was afraid of touching Shen Muyuan's sad things, he hurriedly talked about other things, "Brother Shen Qing, my biological mother was originally a maid in the mansion, and she was very soft-spoken. Since I was sensible, I have lived every day with fear and fear. You Look at me now, I live comfortably and decently. I live in this big house, the Shen family treats me and my relatives, and you are outside to support me. Now my three small shops are booming, although they are not as good as the sun Doujin, but selling some gadgets that women love is enough for me to eat, wear and chew for the rest of my life. I do what I like every day, and my sister is not as lucky as me."

Xiang Ling blinked with a pleasant and careful look, which warmed Shen Muyuan's heart, "You have comforted me instead." He shook his head, "I'm afraid, you've broken up with me, and it will be difficult to find a good family in the future some."

Xiang Ling seemed to have thought of something, his face was flushed, his eyes were full of autumn water, "It depends on my own fate and good fortune, no wonder others."

Shen Muyuan was stunned for a moment, then suddenly smiled and said, "Xiang Ling, don't you have someone in mind?"

Xiang Ling spat, frowned and slapped the table, her pretty face flushed, and she became angry from embarrassment, "Nonsense!"

Both of them were taken aback for a moment, then burst out laughing.

When it was getting dark, Shen Muyuan and A Huan went back to the small courtyard in the east of the city.Still four or five servants.Knowing that the young master was going back, he cleaned up the house early.

After Shen Muyuan freshened up in the bathroom, he sat in the study for a while.The moon and stars are scarce, so people hold lamps and set up seats, and one person drinks alone in the octagonal pavilion.It wasn't until Wei Wei got a little drunk that she went back to her room and went to bed.Thinking of the last time I fell asleep on this big carved bed, my arms were still warm.Now we are inseparable, my heart is desolate, and I can't help but sigh a few times.I fell into a dream in a daze, and there were always some chaotic fragments in the dream.

Ah Huan saw that the young master was busy with the business of the silk factory during the day, chatting and laughing in front of others, and behaved decently.Every night, he drank his sorrows with wine, and his description was weak, but he was always in his eyes and worried about his heart.Mr. Lin was invited, but Mr. Lin was not as warm and considerate as before.

When the young master saw him, the first thing he said was always, "Shu Hao, why don't you hear from him?"

What Ah Huan understood was that he was referring to Gu Bai.What I don't understand is, even if there is no news of Young Master Gu Bai, why does Young Master Lin gradually distance himself from Young Master, and even seems to be avoiding him deliberately.

However, Shen Muyuan didn't seem to notice it, and never took the initiative to find them as companions.

If it is far away, it is far away. For others, no matter how close they are, they are still far away.

On this day, Shen Muyuan went to a friend's appointment to have a drink and chat outside the building together.Even after the feast is over, it's just after You Hour, and with a third of drunkenness, riding the cool breeze in early summer, I walk alone on the street floating and lonely.The toes were out of control, and then the heart was also out of control, and finally let go of the fist, letting go of desolation.

The blessing on the door has long faded red, and the ink is mottled.Shen Muyuan brushed the door leaf and the paper with his palm, and stopped on the green-stained chain.

Under the brick wall, a tiny oiled paper bag was found from the third hole, and the key was taken, and the door was pushed in.
