peach smile

, her fair cheeks turned red...

Shen Quji is a bit busy with business these days, her cousin Feng Qingcheng lives in Shen's house, and her third brother Shen Jie is still lying on the bed, unable to get off the ground. Therefore, when she received the Guining post from the Wei family, she immediately felt dizzy. Two big.

I had no choice but to write to my younger sister Shen Yunian in the capital again, urging her not to just focus on playing after school, but to come home quickly.

In the evening, Shen Quji and shopkeeper Yang counted the inventory together, agreed on a departure date, and hurried home.

The housekeeper, Uncle Fu, followed behind Shen Quji, and reported to the young master in detail what happened at home today——

The old man had a drink with his old friend and got drunk; the owner of the house had a fever today, and he didn’t leave the house for a day, so he invited Dr. Dong over; the old man sent a message back, saying that he was going to work late today and would stay overnight in Matou Town outside the city ; After the first young lady went to the old man and the owner to say hello, she was pulled out by Miss Feng Biao to play; the second young master forced a maid in the third young master's room to be discovered, and Aunt Zhang and Aunt Qin had a big fight ...

Finally, the housekeeper said: "Master Cong from East Street came here today, he said he came to see you, but you were not here, so he paid a visit to the third young master, and then left."

Shen Quji's footsteps stopped steadily outside Shen Jie's courtyard gate. She turned her head to look at the housekeeper, her brows were slightly furrowed: "Shen Cong? Didn't he say what he wanted from me?"

Butler: "The villain asked, the young master just said that he came to visit you."

Shen Quji raised his eyebrows slightly, and said flatly: "From now on, don't let him enter the house when I'm not around." After she finished speaking, she pushed the door directly into Shen Jie's yard.

The third brother, Shen Jie, is two years younger than Shen Quji, and was born to Shen Shusheng and his concubine, Aunt Qin. Although Shen Jie is usually a glutton for wine, he is not a person who can go to flower houses and dare to beat his own father. people.

Shen Quji had secretly sent someone to investigate at that time, and it was nothing more than Huamanlou where Shen Cong took Shen Jie to. As for what Shen Cong said and did to Shen Jie, Shen Quji had no way of knowing.

"Brother, you're here..." Shen Jie, who was lying shirtless on the bed, moved his arms with difficulty, and waved his hand towards Shen Qu quickly: "You can do whatever you want, and I won't move."

Shen Quji moved the stool and sat down by the bed, poured a glass of water and stuffed it into Shen Jie's hand, "Why is there no one in your yard, where is Shen Quan? Where's the maid beside you?"

Shen Jie took a sip of water slowly, "Shen Quan went to grab the medicine, as for the servant girls...all were dragged by my mother to help her out, hehe."

"Still laughing!" Shen Quji threw the small porcelain box in his hand to Shen Jie: "Can't you serve snacks to the maid in your room? You don't even know that it makes people pregnant?"

Shen Jie smiled and opened the small porcelain bottle, a cool and refreshing smell emanated from the bottle, and the spirit altar was refreshed. This is definitely another good medicine for his wound that the eldest brother got back from somewhere.

Shen Jie lay on the bed, picked out some milky white plaster from the porcelain box with his fingernails, took a closer look, and said in a rather foolish way: "What's wrong with the maid in my room? She's not my daughter-in-law, who would like to be with anyone?" Go, I don't care."

Shen Quji smiled but didn't smile: "Yes, it doesn't matter if all the maids are abducted, the third young master and his elder brother will naturally assign him again, the old ones don't go and the new ones don't come, how comfortable, huh?"

Hearing this, Shen Jie immediately raised a smiling face to his eldest brother in a fawning manner: "I heard from my sister-in-law that the old lady gave you two jars of wine a while ago, what kind of wine?"

"Giving wine?" Shen Quji frowned: "I didn't hear you... I didn't hear her say it." Shen Quji couldn't say some address words that others came up with casually, so he had to Avoid the term "your sister-in-law".

Shen Jie suddenly propped himself up on his arms. He was very white and couldn't move freely because of the injury, which made him look like a white fish that couldn't turn over because he was out of the water. He wrinkled his nose and stretched out his mouth. Put out one hand and make an oath to the sky: "Brother, I promise, I will control my servants well in the future, and I will never let radishes grow into cabbage fields again!"

Shen Quji felt a little bad.

"Hey... hey? Big Brother? Big Brother!" Seeing Shen Quji getting up to leave, Shen Jie yelled from behind: "What about my wine? Wine! Wine~"

"Wait for me to ask later. If there is anything, I will bring it to you. If not, I will get you two jars."

"Thank you, brother!" Shen Jie was full of anger, not at all like an injured person who had been lying on the bed for many days.

Walking out of Shen Jie's yard, Shen Quji suddenly felt a little empty in her heart. Looking at the dark blue night above her head, she couldn't help but let out a long sigh—the one who used to chase after her to play with snot bubbles under her nose all day long. The young man finally grew up.

Shen Quji turned his head back, and asked Shen Pan behind him in a low voice as he walked, and then gave some instructions. Shen Pan cupped his hands and hurried away, Shen Quji raised his hands, and walked slowly towards the back garden of Shen's house go.

Hezhou City relies on the Wushou River, the largest canal in the Dachao Kingdom, and tens of thousands of people are welcomed and sent to the city every day. In such a prosperous place with smoked willows, painted bridges, wind curtains and emerald curtains, the curfew is naturally later than other places. Shen Quji was not very worried about Wei Changan who was pulled out of the house by Feng Qingcheng to play, but when Feng Qingcheng suddenly appeared in front of her, Shen Quji really panicked.

"Where's Chang'an?" Shen Quji blurted out.

Feng Qingcheng ran over in three steps and two steps, plunged into Shen Quji's arms, and hugged Shen Quji tightly.

Shen Quji was taken aback by her. She held Feng Qingcheng's shoulders with both hands, trying to pull her away a little: "What happened? Qingcheng, where's Chang'an?"

"She's not suitable for you..." Feng Qingcheng's words came from Shen Quji's neck in a low voice: "Brother Quji, Wei Chang'an is not suitable for you!"

Although Shen Quji didn't like people answering irrelevant questions, she still patiently patted Feng Qingcheng's back shoulder with a gentle voice: "Qingcheng, you have to tell me first that you left the house with her, you come here I'm here, what about her?"

"She's back to Xinyixuan," Feng Qingcheng could never refuse this man's tenderness, she tightly hugged Shen Quji's lower back hand: "Brother Quji, she is not suitable for you, you see, she returned to Xinyixuan." Yixuan is gone, she doesn't even know that today is the fifteenth day, she doesn't even know that she wants to watch the moon with you!"

Shen Quji lowered his head slightly, "Have you been drinking?"

"I only drank a little bit, together with her..." Feng Qingcheng's face rubbed against Shen Quji's shoulder, like a kitten hugging its master and acting coquettishly: "Although that woman is not suitable for you, but, Her character is good, she is warm and hospitable, treats people with sincerity, and she is sharp-tongued..."

"I know, I know..." Shen Quji's brows softened after hearing those adjectives.

Just as she was about to say something, she caught a glimpse of a piece of light blue clothes at the corner of the path with her eyes.

The two maids who gave Qingcheng to Feng's family asked them to take him back. Shen Quji strode after him along the path, walked through the path between the rockery, and found Wei Wei by the big willow tree beside the lotus pond. Chang'an.

After Shen Quji recovered her breathing, she stood side by side with Wei Changan with her hands behind her back. She stared at the water surface expressionlessly, without saying a word.

After a long time, Wei Changan stretched out a pink embroidered bag to Shen Quji, with a flat voice, without any ups and downs: "This is Miss Feng's stuff, it's left in Xinyixuan, and the things inside are very important to her. , please pass it on to her for me."

"Chang, Chang'an..." Shen Quji looked down at the embroidered bag, which lay quietly in the palm of a small hand.

Wei Changan: "Huh?...Take it."

"A-Actually, I, you..." For some reason, Shen Quji couldn't speak well when he came to Wei Changan.

"I know all about it," Wei Changan raised his hand holding the embroidered bag: "This thing is suitable for you to hold, so you can help Miss Feng put it away first."

Shen Quji glanced at her, then raised his hand, but pulled Wei Changan's wrist, turned around and pulled her behind the big willow tree, and put her between the big willow tree and himself. Wrist, with one hand covering Wei Changan's mouth.

The willows on the willow tree were lush and drooping, easily covering the two of them.

"Hush," Shen Quji lowered his head slightly, and whispered in Wei Changan's ear: "Someone is coming, don't move, don't talk."

Wei Chang'an suddenly remembered something she had encountered in Wei's house before, so she blinked at Shen Quji to show that she knew it.

Shen Quji let go of his hand covering her mouth, and moved her closer behind the big willow tree, making sure that people outside couldn't see them.

Wei Changan was sweating nervously at this moment. Slowly, she heard two eager footsteps coming from the side of the big willow tree, as if one was chasing the other.

"Afu!" A middle-aged woman's voice sounded calmly, "Will you be sober?"

The person called "Afu" spoke, and she was also a woman, and Afu's voice was brighter and sharper than that of the person just now, "Yeah, I should wake up, I should wake up a long time ago, shouldn't I, Ah Lian! "

Aff?Lian?Wei Changan raised his head, looking at Shen Quji with sparkling eyes.

Shen Quji pursed her lips. She supported the willow tree with one hand, fearing that she would slip into the pond from the small place behind the willow tree, and covered one of Wei Changan's ears with the other hand, and gently embraced her head, letting She tilted her head and put one ear against her chest, hoping, hoping that she would not have to hear things that most people would not accept.

The two people behind the rockery argued a few more words, and not long after, as Shen Quji expected, some disharmonious voices came faintly.

Wei Changan still heard it, and the scenes that she accidentally ran into back then naturally appeared in her mind. Wei Changan's spine felt chills, and she always felt that there was a pair of eyes staring at her in the night, laughing at her, mocking her...

Finally, Wei Changan raised his hands, hugged Shen Quji tightly, and buried his head deeper in Shen Quji's arms.

Shen Quji was overjoyed, he didn't expect Wei Changan to be so afraid.

The two people behind the rockery were fighting fiercely, Shen Quji wanted to look down at the person in his arms, but his thin lips accidentally brushed the woman's smooth and full forehead, Shen Quji froze for a moment, but Wei Changan didn't notice it because of nervousness to what.

After an unknown amount of time, Wei Changan was pulled out from behind the big willow tree by Shen Quji.

Shen Quji raised his eyebrows: "Let's go, we're going back."

Wei Changan lowered his head, still holding Feng Qingcheng's embroidered bag, and remained silent.

Shen Quji blinked: "What's wrong?"

The blushing man lowered his head, and said in a soft voice, "...the legs are numb."

No.: Shen Family (3)

Shen Quji smiled restrainedly, turned around and squatted down in front of Wei Changan, "Come up, carry you back."

Wei Chang'an, who was eccentric and sharp-toothed, climbed up on Shen Quji's back obediently without saying a word.

Shen Quji was half a head taller than himself, but Wei Changan felt that this person was thinner than himself, this person's shoulders were not as generous as Wei Changan imagined, but lying on them was equally warm and stable.

"... surnamed Shen..." Wei Changan's voice was slightly nasal, and there was a slight tremor in his words.

Shen Quji carried Wei Changan on his back, and while walking slowly, he felt a sense of temptation: "Outside people say how powerful my mother is, so let me tell you what I know about my mother, just to pass the time."

"Yeah." Wei Changan blinked, lay on the man's thin shoulders, and listened quietly.

"My mother's mother died of illness when my mother was less than five years old. At that time, the family was very poor. After my wife died of illness, my grandfather, who made a living by brewing wine, found another wife. Abandoning his widowed old mother and two daughters who were desperately waiting to be fed, the family passed away, and from then on, only the old ancestor was left in the family, with two poor little granddaughters, living a life without a second meal."

"Men are easy to walk in the world. When she grew up, her mother dressed up as a man and did business with a tea merchant. When she was 19 years old, she saved the life of the current eldest princess by chance. Later, with the help of the emperor's grace, My mother single-handedly established the current Shen family."

"...Mother doesn't like men, but as a woman, she can't escape the secular world." Shen Quji's steady steps became even slower, as if he was afraid that the road under his feet would come to an end: "So she married my father, It is said that it is because my father really loves my mother, but there is a contract between them..."

Shen Quji turned the person on his back upside down, "They agreed that my mother will give birth to a son for my father, and my father will not interfere in everything about my mother."

"Your mother not only gave birth to your son, but also gave birth to your father a daughter." Wei Changan wiped the sweat from Shen Quji's forehead with his sleeve, and his tone became more relaxed: "Your father made money. "

"Yeah, he earned it," Shen Qu said with a smile, the water in his eyes glistening in the night: "He got what he should have in advance, so he died, and then, mother took me and my sister , and found Li Laosan, a butcher from Xicaipo, as his son-in-law, who is my current stepfather, Shen Shusheng..."

"You also know that this world cannot allow two women to be together in an open and aboveboard manner. They say that two women being together is against the law of heaven and against human ethics, so Mother hired Uncle Shen to win this, this... pretense."

Wei Changan blinked, no wonder the father-in-law and the mother-in-law live in two separate yards, no wonder Aunt Qin said that Old Master Shen never regarded Shen Jie as his grandson, it was because of this.

"You should have guessed it." Shen Quji raised his head to look at Xin Yixuan who was not far away, and continued: "Aunt Fuqu is the one who is put on top of my mother's heart."

Wei Changan didn't speak, she leaned her head on Shen Quji's shoulder.

"...Chang'an," Shen Quji's gentle voice sounded from his chest and throat, intoxicating those who heard it: "People look down on women who like women, thinking that they destroy the harmony of yin and yang, and violate human ethics. If...you want to sink the two people who like each other into the river of no worries, now that you know about Mother and Aunt Fuqu, then I really regard you as one of my own..."

The implication is that you don't go around talking nonsense.

Shen Quji knew that Chang'an would never gossip, but Shen Quji's conservative and prudent behavior still made her say such things.

Finally, Shen Quji added: "Also, please don't treat my mother as a different kind, she is not wrong, and liking women is not wrong..." Shen Quji didn't know why he would say such a thing, Maybe she wanted to tell Wei Changan something, or maybe it was just her unwilling temptation and struggle, who knows.

Wei Changan suddenly laughed muffled, she didn't know how to react, so she clenched her pink fist and punched Shen Quji in the chest.

Shen Quji smiled wryly at the corner of her mouth, she seemed to understand what Wei Changan meant, but also seemed afraid that Wei Changan would really understand.

When Xin Yixuan arrived, Shen Quji gently put Wei Changan down, and smoothed out Wei Changan's somewhat messy hair and clothes, as if sorting out a rare treasure.

Shen Quji looked at Wei Changan, his big and bright eyes were full of affection and restraint, and his pupils were so deep that he seemed to be facing the parting of life and death.

Finally, Shen Quji spoke slowly: "Chang'an, in fact, my mother only gave birth to a pair for my father..."

"Miss, Miss! Something is wrong!!" Ruyi Yuangun, who suddenly appeared from nowhere, interrupted Shen Quji's words, and announced a news that was really related to life and death: "Gui is dead!! "

Shen Quji felt despair for a moment.

Things in the world can be repeated again and again, but rarely repeated. She tried to tell Wei Changan the truth several times, but there was always someone who would jump out halfway and disrupt her plan.

Immediately, Shen Quji didn't want to know who Agui was, and she didn't want to know why Agui died. Shen Quji didn't want to know. It was like an abyss, not daring to stay for a moment.

Ruyi was frightened by Shen Quji's eyes just now and froze in place, and the "Miss" in her mouth stumbled several times before she could complete her sentence, "Miss, did I, did I make my uncle unhappy? "

"No, why would he be angry with you?" Wei Changan pulled Ruyi back to Xinyixuan with slanted eyebrows.

Ruyi: "But my uncle's eye circles are obviously red..."

Then, before Wei Changan had time to answer Ruyi's words, he suddenly realized when he heard Ruyi's "Aww" voice: "Miss, are you bullying my uncle again?! Look, you are bullying a big man like him!" Cried!!"

Wei Changan's temples twitched a few times, and she felt that the term "disregarding human life" should be quite appropriate here.

However, when the dream comes true, someone who is in a good mood floats up, and he doesn't care about sharing the sad thing of the little turtle Agui's death with Ruyi.

At night, the man who was so happy to fall asleep because of Shen Quji's sentence "Take you as one of his own" had a dream. The dream was intermittent and seemed to be true and false. For the first time, Wei Changan felt tired. , still in a dream.

In her true and false dreams—

For a while, he was led by a handsome and lovely boy in a manor to catch fish in the stream, and for a while, he was learning to play the piano with this boy in a quiet and elegant room.

Suddenly, the world was spinning, and in the blink of an eye, Wei Changan in the dream returned to Wei's house, back to the room where he hid when playing hide-and-seek with his playmates, and then, and then saw...

Wei Changan woke up. She bypassed the maid who was guarding the night outside, and put on a coat to come to Xinyixuan's courtyard.

In the dead of night, even the big and small bugs in Xinyixuan hid their voices and went back to sleep. The night wind blew everything in the yard willfully and restrainedly, and it also lingered in Wei Changan's heart, which could not go away for a long time.

After a long time, Wei Chang'an suddenly laughed, standing alone in the courtyard surrounded by the shadows of trees, laughing mockingly and desolately.

/ / /

In the next few days, first Feng Qingcheng left the Shen family and returned to the capital, and then Wei Changan did not see Shen Quji for several days.

Just when Wei Chang'an was amusing himself with the idea of ​​"Shen Quji eloped with Feng Qingcheng", her mother-in-law Shen Lian sent someone to send the Wei family's Guining post and a message.

It is said that Shen Quji took people to Jianzhou along the coast to do some shopping, but he left early the morning before yesterday, with an uncertain return date.

He is a businessman.

In the end, we pay more attention to profit than parting.

Wei Chang'an tied Shen Quji's little man in his heart, then packed his things alone, and returned to Wei's house with auspicious Ruyi and Shen Quji's left her Shen Pan and Xin'er.

Hezhou Wei Family——

When she left the house last time, Wei Changan stepped out of the Wei family's gate as the daughter of the Wei family, but this time when she came back, this place is no longer her home.

Father Wei Rong has aged a lot, and his hair on the sideburns has added a lot of gray, which makes the corners of Wei Changan's eyes sore.

"Dad, isn't it good?" Wei Rong looked at the daughter with her long hair tucked up in relief, her eyes, which resembled Wei Chang'an's, were bent into crescents with a smile: "Dad asked, that boy from the Shen family went to Jianzhou to run a business. , you won’t be able to come back within ten days and half a month. Now that you’re back this time, you can live with your parents with peace of mind, um... until the kid from the Shen’s family comes back to pick up his sweetheart, why? Sample?"

"Father!" Wei Changan pretended to be angry with his father, but his ears turned pink, "If you talk about your heart, you will get angry!"

"Who wants to be angry?" A hearty male voice came from outside the hall, and then a tall man walked in with a child in his arms. It was Wei Changan's eldest brother Wei Jingchen.

Wei Changan happily walked over and hugged the eight-month-old nephew, and stuffed the red envelope into the little nephew's pocket without a sound. Auntie? Huh? Auntie~"

A stream of saliva dripped from the corner of Wei Bai's mouth at the right time, and he waved his little arms, babbling as if he wanted to talk to Wei Changan.

Wei Jingchen sat down by his father's hand with crooked eyebrows, and sighed: "Taohua has really grown up after marrying, and she knows how to give Xiaobai a red envelope. Hey, she didn't call 'brother' before." Just reach out to ask us for red envelopes? That kid from the Shen family is capable, he can teach/teach our peach blossoms!"

Wei Jingchen's words made his parents and his second and fourth sisters-in-law laugh, but Wei Chang'an rolled his eyes.

When the married daughter returned to her natal family, except for Wei Jingting's family who was the third son who was an official in the court, and Wei Jingyun, the fifth son who went out to do business, the members of the Wei family got together at noon under Wei Chang'an's pretext.

During the banquet, Wei Changan's attention would always inadvertently fall on his mother, Wei Huangshi, who had always been invisible.

Wei Chang'an had been estranged from his mother, Wei Huang, ever since he encountered that incident by accident when he was a child. Now that he knew about her mother-in-law Shen Lian, Wei Chang'an's grip on his heart for nearly ten years had loosened up.

She felt that maybe it wasn't that she couldn't accept that kind of thing, she just lacked a reason to convince herself that's all.

In the afternoon, after the sun turned to the west, Wei Changan came to his mother alone.

Wei Huangshi is sitting under the big open window as a female celebrity, the embroidery needle in her hand is going back and forth very obediently.

Seeing her daughter coming in, a gentle smile floated on Wei Huang's face: "Peach Blossom is here, come and sit down..." When Wei Changan sat down opposite her, Wei Huang asked again: "Why didn't you invite your friends to go out to play together?" ?”

Wei Changan poured tea for his mother and himself separately, and said with a rare calmness: "It's rare to come back, I just want to be with you, I don't want to run around."

"...Our peach blossoms are really sensible," Wei Huang was stunned, and sighed, took out an object folded into the size of a palm and gave it to her daughter, "It's for you, unfold it and have a look."

"Why did you put the word 'sensible' on me, making me look like an idiot and ignorant..." Wei Changan muttered, shaking things away according to his mother's words, and it was a bright red A baby bellyband embroidered with five poisons.

Wei Changan immediately thought of Shen Quji, and the woman's fair face turned red instantly.

"How about it, will it work?" Wei Huang looked at her daughter expectantly: "Your father and I are waiting!"

Wei Changan balled up Xiaodoudou indiscriminately and stuffed it into his sleeves, cleared his throat again, pointed at the table casually, and changed the subject: "It's nothing, what are you doing with so many cloth tiger dolls, Xiaobai won't be playing with them soon gone."

Wei Huangshi: "Oh, these are not for Xiaobai, they are for my future grandson to play with."

Wei Changan: "..."

What was she trying to say?

/ / /

Shen's:

The eldest young master and the eldest young wife were not at home. The head of the family, Shen Lian, went to the manor outside the city to recuperate because of his illness. The control of the Shen family fell to the second young master Shen Qubing for the time being.

Shen Qubing was checking the accounts of the first half month with a deputy head of the accountant in the big study of the Shen family. The housekeeper Shen Fu came to report that the young master from Dongjie came to visit and wanted to see the second young master.

Shen Cong?What is he doing here!It can't be that the family on the East Street is looking for trouble, right? !

Shen Qubing threw down the pen in his hand, frowned and waved impatiently at Shen Fu, "Got it, you take him to the front hall and wait, just say I'll go over after finishing the matter at hand... Hey wait!"

Shen Qubing suddenly called to Shen Fu again, rolled his eyes, looked sideways at Shen Fu, and ordered: "My aunt and eldest brother and sister-in-law are not at home, although the elder brother said that the rascal will not come to make trouble again, but we still have to Be careful, find more servants to guard in the front yard, and the third one is also watched by people, the eldest brother said, don't let that family get in touch with the third child."

"Yes, Second Young Master, this old slave will do it now!" Shen Fu cupped his hands and went to work swiftly.

The deputy accountant at the side, Ping Rui, was twirling his goatee, looking straight at Shen Qubing with a pair of small eyes, hesitating to speak.

"Sir, if you have something to say, you may wish to speak directly." Shen Qubing is somewhat similar to his elder brother Shen Quji after all. The elder brother hates answering questions that are not relevant, and he hates hesitating to speak.

There was a smile on Ping Rui's face, but this smile on Ping Rui's thin and out-of-shape face, no matter how you looked at it, it seemed that he had no good intentions.

Sure enough, the uneasy Ping Rui said: "Although the Second Young Master has no blood relationship with the Eldest Young Master, your style of handling affairs is exactly the same as the Eldest Young Master. After all, you followed the Shen family's surname and lived on the bread of the Shen family." When they grow up, their temperaments are quite similar."

The soles of Shen Qubing's feet twitched, and he changed his gaze to look at Pingrui, a bony old fellow, inscrutablely.

After a long time, Shen Qubing asked evasively: "Hey, Mr. Ping, tell me, if you are targeted by my youngest, how many punches do you think you can take with your body?"

Pingrui's thin cheeks visibly trembled, he waved his hands with a dry smile: "Hehe, hehe, Second Young Master, you are joking, joking..."

Shen Qubing also laughed dryly back at Pingrui, and continued to work on the accounts with his head down.

Old man, I am not from the Shen family and has nothing to do with you. No matter how incompetent I am, Shen Qubing, I will not be so bastard as to join forces with those who seek the Shen family property. Cough, although I am also seeking the Shen family property, I don’t need you alone Outsiders talk too much.

Ping Rui finally lowered his head to go to work on accounts, Shen Qubing secretly raised his eyes and gave Ping Rui a sideways look, old man, wait for my elder brother to come back, and see how I sue you!

Shen Quji, who was far away at a certain dining table in Jianzhou, couldn't hold back and sneezed loudly.

Article: Ruoji (1)

Wei Chang'an never felt that life would be boring before, but these few days were really hard to pass, and she found that her sister-in-law Wei Liu always had a lot of criticisms about her.

This reminded Wei Changan of the letter the Wei family sent her back when he and Shen Quji were angry for the first time. At this time, Wei Changan was sure that the letter he wrote to his eldest brother was definitely cut off by his sister-in-law. ——The elder sister's calligraphy was taught by the elder brother, and if the elder sister pretended to be the elder brother and wrote back to her... Hmph, no wonder the reply letter did not bear the private seal of the elder brother!

What did you say that the water splashed by a married daughter has no reason to go back to her mother's house for nothing? Pooh!

It is basically not for nothing that a person hates another person. Wei Liushi hates his sister-in-law Chang'an, in the final analysis, it is just because he is not favored by his husband Wei Jingchen.

Thus, on the morning of the tenth day when Wei Changan stayed at her mother's house, the war between the eldest wife of the Wei family and the married eldest lady of the Wei family finally broke out.

The fourth eldest of the Wei family, Wei Jinglin, and his daughter-in-law, who lived close together, rushed to the battlefield first, but neither of them dared to go up to try to persuade them to fight.

Shen Pan was ordered to stand still and not move. Seeing his young master fighting with others, but he couldn't do anything, Shen Pan could almost imagine what kind of punishment the young master would give him when he found out!

The war between sister-in-law and sister-in-law was finally suppressed by Wei Jingchen who came later, and Wei Jingchen yelled at his servants to send Wei Liu back with a bruised nose and a swollen face.

Watching the servants take the woman away, Wei Jingchen turned his head to ask his sister something with a straight face. Wei Rong and his wife Wei Huangshi came after hearing the news, and brought a person Wei Changan didn't want to see at this time ——Shen Quji.

After seeing Wei Chang'an's appearance, the expression on Shen Quji's face did not change, but his dark eyes were extremely gloomy. From Wei Chang'an's point of view, this man's eyes were obviously filled with a forced smile!

Seeing Shen Quji's expression, Wei Rong's heart skipped a beat. Soon, he stabilized his mind, showed the majesty that a father-in-law should have, and said in a deep voice, "Quji, since you're here, let's put peach blossoms first. Take it back to her yard, everything will be discussed after the old man has figured it out."

Shen Quji's eyes seemed to be frozen, she was cold, but she still spoke politely. She replied to Wei Rong with a respectful yes, and then took Wei Changan, guided by auspicious wishes, back We arrived at the place where Wei Changan lived before he got married.

After Jixiang Ruyi brought what my uncle asked for, she covered her mouth and left with a smirk, leaving Chen Pan alone in the yard, pitiful and helpless.

In the house—

Shen Quji's face remained expressionless, after treating Wei Changan's scratched hand, she raised her eyes to look at Wei Changan.

This person's eyes are very big, and the eyeballs are very black. When he looks at people motionlessly, he always gives people a cold and oppressive feeling, and those eyes seem to be able to penetrate people's hearts.

Wei Changan felt terrified by him, and had to take the initiative to confess his crime: "Wei Huang choked on me about my ancestor's funeral early in the morning, and I didn't want to talk to her, but she poked her relentlessly. My sore spot, hey, then I can't bear it anymore, can I?...Actually, I didn't touch her much...I just gave her...I, I...I was wrong..."

Forced by someone's cold aura, Wei Chang'an finally bowed his head and admitted his mistake. Bravery to be a hero is not considered a capable person, but a man who can bend and stretch is a real man, bah bah bah, she is not a real man!But it's nothing to admit a mistake, she will do it next time.

"There won't be a next time," Shen Quji warned a certain god who was the boss of her second child's aunt, but his voice could not be severe: "This is your home after all, and she is your sister-in-law after all, save some face so that we can see each other again." .”

Wei Changan refused to accept: "I didn't live with her, what did you see? Besides, she was the sister-in-law who provoked me first, what can I do..."

"You're still sophistry!" Shen Qu got angry, raised his hand and stretched out towards Wei Changan's forehead, scaring Wei Changan to run to the couch under the west window in a hurry.

In order to express his determination to dare to fight against the evil forces, the person who sneaked onto the couch turned around and yelled at the "evil forces": "Hey, the surname is Shen, you are so courageous, you dare to touch me today!" Give it a try?"

"I'll touch you..." Shen Quji sat in front of the table unable to hold his forehead, feeling really tired.

Seeing Shen Quji resting his forehead with his hands wearily, his elbows still resting on the table and motionless, Wei Changan's playful thoughts dissipated immediately.

"Are you okay?" She came to Shen Quji's side and patted Shen Quji's shoulder, "What's wrong with you?"

"Chang'an..." Shen Quji's voice was finally filled with the tiredness of travel and dust. She raised her head, her dark eyes were faintly bloodshot: "I will accompany you to apologize to your sister-in-law in a while. Let's go back."

"it is good."

……

On the carriage back to Shen’s house, although Wei Chang’an was hiccupped by the words of his sister-in-law Wei Huang’s later, she was not in the mood to worry about it now, because after leaving Wei’s house, the carriage did not go far, and Shen Quji relied on she fell asleep.

Wei Changan squinted and carefully looked at the person who fell asleep leaning on his shoulder, tsk tsk tsk, this person can be said to be a typical example of thick eyebrows and big eyes, but when he closed his eyes, he gave people the impression of delicate features.

It may be because of the rush, there are faint bruises under this man's eyes, and a faint cyan color appeared on his chin. Looks like a dirty uncle.

Looking at it, Wei Changan covered his mouth and giggled.

It was already afternoon when we returned to Shen's house, Wei Changan went to see his mother-in-law and the old man according to the ceremony.

The Shen family has always lived in their own way, and Shen Quji has no habit of seeing his elders after returning home.

She was too tired to rush back without stopping, so she went back to Xinyixuan on her own, threw herself on the bed, and fell asleep regardless.

As a result, I fell asleep all of a sudden until the next day's sun was three poles.

After getting up, he saw Wei Changan sitting facing the window, seemingly in a daze, Shen Quji rubbed his eyes, and cleared his throat on purpose.

"Are you awake?" Wei Changan seemed to put something away in a hurry, then she turned her head, a certain emotion in her eyes was forcibly scattered, she stood up, her eyes dodged: "The water in the basin is Freshly dug well water, you wash your face, I will call Jixiang Ruyi to heat your meal..."

Before Wei Changan finished speaking, he had already walked out of the room, Shen Quji frowned, what happened to her?

Since Shen Quji spent half a moment thinking about the reason for Wei Changan's strange behavior, when Wei Changan took the time to walk in, Shen Quji was rummaging through the room shirtless for clothes.

"...The surname is Shen! You are playing a hooligan!!" Wei Changan was stunned for a moment, then covered his eyes and turned around, accusing Shen Quji, who had not found a replacement shirt, "Your clothes in blue sky and white day What? Why are you walking around the house with your shirt off!"

Ruyi, who was following the lady before she had time to walk in, raised her foot and was about to rush into the room after hearing her own lady's yelling, but was grabbed by the quick-sighted and quick-handed Ji Xiang.

"What are you pulling me for?!" Ruyi glared at Jixiang.

Ji Xiang: "Uncle is at home!"

As one wishes:"??"

The confused Ruyi with a question mark on her face was dragged away by Jixiang.

It's not scary to be stupid, but what's scary is that she's cute and stupid.

In the room, after Wei Changan's indiscriminate complaints were over, Shen Quji unhurriedly pointed to the empty place in the closet where the middle coat was originally placed: "There used to be a middle coat here. It's white, with bamboo-like patterns embroidered on the cuffs, have you seen it?"

The middle coat is moon-white, with embroidered patterns on the cuffs... Wei Changan's face turned red suddenly, and he stumbled in a rare way: "You, you are the grand young master of the Shen family, you, do you only have that middle coat? You Can't you find something else to wear? You, you..."

Shen Quji smiled lowly, with a somewhat helpless look: "Mama Zheng just came to take all my clothes to wash... Forget it..."

Shen Quji took a few steps to the door, Wei Changan hid subconsciously, but heard Shen Quji order Shen Pan in the yard through the door to fetch the clothes from his study.

While waiting for Shen Pan to deliver the clothes, Shen Quji put a blanket on his body and sat in front of the table like a dog, touching his chin in puzzlement: "Tsk, where is my middle coat..."

Wei Changan pulled the cuffs of his coat indiscriminately, trying to cover the cuffs of the moon-white jacket embroidered with bamboo patterns that had grown a bit inward. Tsk, didn't he just get confused in the morning and wear the wrong clothes? ...

After eating, Shen Quji and Wei Changan brought two small jars of wine to the yard of the third son Shen Jie.

Shen Jie's injuries were healed, but because of other troubles, Shen Lian grounded him in the yard.

Today is a good day, not too hot, and there is a cool wind blowing, when Shen Quji and Wei Changan walked into Shen Jie's yard, Shen Jie was sitting in the yard enjoying the cool.

Shen Jie's biological mother, Aunt Qin, was also there. I don't know what Aunt Qin was talking to Shen Jie. Shen Jie, who was full of reluctance, seemed to see a savior after seeing his eldest brother and sister-in-law.

"Brother and sister-in-law, you guys are coming to see me!" Shen Jie ran over and bowed his hands to the two of them respectfully, and then directly hugged the wine in Shen Pan's hand into his arms. : "Oh, my elder brother and sister-in-law treat me well~"

Shen Quji and Wei Changan ignored the convulsed Shen Jie, and together they briefly saluted Aunt Qin who got up.

Aunt Qin turned sideways to return the salute, and said straight to Shen Quji: "His brother and sister-in-law, if you are really good for him, you can persuade him for my aunt to drink less alcohol, he will soon be married to the crown. , if you drink too much and give birth to a stupid child one day, you say..."

"As long as my sister-in-law's child is smart and smart," Shen Jie interrupted his mother's words suddenly, "You don't care if I have a stupid son or a stupid girl in the future!"

Aunt Qin was so angry with her son that she threw up her sleeves and left, and Wei Changan's ears turned pink because of the topic that involved her inexplicably.

In Shen Jie's yard, there was a thick and big acacia tree, and there was a stone table and two stone benches in the shade under the tree. Shen Qu quickly pulled Wei Changan to sit on the stone bench, and asked Shen Jie : "I know about your crowning ceremony, what's the matter with getting married?"

"My mother is crazy about her grandson." Shen Jie sat cross-legged on the ground next to Shen Quji, and carefully unsealed the wine brought by his eldest brother: "Second brother's concubine is happy, the doctor's pulse said it was a boy , My mother was stimulated when she found out... Mmm~ Brother and sister-in-law, this wine smells good!"

Shen Quji looked up at Wei Changan who was sitting opposite, Wei Changan raised his eyebrows, expressing that he didn't know either.

Shen Quji touched the sole of Shen Jie's shoe with his toe, and asked solemnly: "How many months old is the child? Why haven't I heard about this?"

Shen Jie held up the small wine jar and took a small sip of the wine, feeling his internal organs stretched: "I heard that she is about to give birth, Aunt Zhang has a tight mouth, and she dare not let the aunt know, if she is not in a hurry to talk to my mother Hell, the ghost knows that the second brother is going to be a father soon, alas, I have to pay for it again..."

Shen Quji frowned: "Afraid my mother would know? Why?"

Wei Chang'an and Shen Jie looked at Shen Quji at the same time, Shen Quji raised his eyebrows, and replied generously with an innocent expression of "I don't know anything".

Shen Jiebai took a quick look: "Brother, you are so busy with business, you are so stupid! You are the eldest son in the family, sister-in-law's stomach hasn't moved yet, where is the second brother..."

Shen Jie, who was belatedly aware of it, suddenly remembered that his sister-in-law seemed to be sitting on the side. Uh, can he say that what he just said was drunk?

The face of his sister-in-law who was sitting next to him was red and white, what happened recently?Why are you talking and talking to the child?

Sitting on the ground, Shen Jie looked up at the couple sitting on the stone bench, and decided to use his thick skin to break the awkwardness in the air.

So, our Third Young Master Shen picked up the wine in his arms and asked Wei Changan: "Sister-in-law, is this the wine that the old man gave you?"

Wei Changan shook his head: "No, your elder brother brought you this from Jianzhou."

Shen Jie thanked Shen Quji with a fist, and Shen Quji also tried his best to change the topic, and asked Wei Changan: "By the way, last time you went to the old man's place, what kind of wine did he give you? ? If Shen Jie hadn't yelled at me for a drink, I wouldn't have known that the old man would give you a drink."

Wei Changan suddenly remembered, "The old man gave me rice wine, and he asked me to bring you two small jars, I forgot."

Old Mrs. Shen used to be a well-known brewer in Hezhou City, and his craftsmanship is outstanding.

Except for the necessary entertainment, the elder brother usually does not drink a drop of alcohol. All the wine in the hands of the elder brother has always been in his hands intact. Shen Jie clapped his hands and was overjoyed: "Sister-in-law, what kind of wine did the old man give the elder brother?"

Wei Chang'an: "I don't know about this, but the wine jar is wrapped in red cloth, and the word 'send Cheng' is written on it. What does this mean, and the name of the wine?"

Shen Quji: "..."

Shen Jie chose to look up at the sky, oh no, it was at the tree - I'm just a child, don't ask me, I don't know anything, I don't know...

The Shen family established the old ancestor as the new ancestor, and starting with it, the fifth generation of the Shen family, that is, the next generation of Shen Quji and others, was named Dangcong with the word "Cheng".

Wei Changan was a little confused by the reaction of the two brothers, so he leaned towards Shen Quji and asked in a low voice, "What do you mean?"

Shen Quji: "It's a kind of... medicinal wine, yes, medicinal wine."

Shen Jie blinked, blinked again, well, men in business never blush when they tell lies, no, blush!

Article: Ruoji (2)

The Shen family is mainly engaged in jewelry, restaurant and tea business, and the only overlap with Wei's business is tea.

Shen Quji guessed that this time Wei Jingchen, the eldest son of Wei, asked him to come out to meet him, it was definitely not because Chang'an had a fight with his wife before.

The meeting place was about to be at Huaibilou, the Shen family's restaurant in the east of the city.

The last time Wei Jingchen came to Huaibilou was half a month ago. Recalling the layout and scene of the restaurant at that time, Wei Jingchen couldn't help sighing with Shen Quji: "Tang Zhi's "Pan Ming" said, 'Gou Ri Xin, Day Ri Xin, and Rixin', now that I have seen your Huaibi Building, brother Yu really has a little understanding of this sentence!"

"Brother's praise is ridiculous," Shen Quji smiled gently, raised his hand and waved away the servants who were waiting in the room.

Wei Jingchen looked at Shen Quji calmly, this kid was wearing a plain brocade robe with dark patterns today, he was holding a gentleman's style in his gestures, and he didn't look like a businessman with the slightest bit of profit, but he looked very much like him Those spirited scholars in the academy holding scriptures in their hands and lashing out at Fang Qiu.

"People say brother-in-law, you are extraordinary!" Wei Jingchen patted Shen Quji on the shoulder, held up the wine jar full of wine with one hand, and filled Shen Quji with a bowl of wine: "You and Shen Quji I didn't dare to let you get drunk on the day Taohua got married, how about you, let's try today?"

Shen Quji crooked the corners of her eyes, for a moment she couldn't understand the relationship between others saying she was unusual and Wei Jingchen didn't dare to let her get drunk, but she still raised her hand and picked up the overflowing wine bowl in front of her: "Thanks to uncle Guan Nu, I am very grateful to Quji, I have this opportunity today, I will do my best to respect Quji."

After the words were closed, the scholar-like person raised his head and drank the whole bowl of wine without any hesitation.

"Okay! Refreshing!" Wei Jingchen also raised his head and drank a bowl unwilling to be outdone, then changed the wine cup and told Shen Quji to pour the wine, "Hey, but I dare not really let you get down!"

Shen Quji, who was pouring the wine, raised his eyes to look at Wei Jingchen, and saw Wei Jingchen raised his head and laughed twice, pointed at the table with his index finger and said, "If I make you drink to get down, little sister-in-law Taohua might do something wrong." Yao Mozi seeks revenge on me!"

"How could it be?" The smile on Shen Quji's face was always just right, no more and no less: "I heard from her that she has received a lot of care and tolerance from her elder brother at home over the years. Nao, also caused a lot of trouble for the brothers, Qu Ji thanked Brother Jingchen for her first."

Shen Quji raised the wine cup, the friendship in the bright black eyes was real.

Wei Jingchen asked himself that he was accurate in judging people, and Shen Quji's morality could not fool him.

After a moment of silence, Wei Jingchen cheerfully drank another glass of wine with Shen Quji, "Taohua is my own sister, we should pamper her, she caused trouble, we took care of it for her, she was bullied, We support her, even if she is married now, her five elder brothers are still her elder brothers."

Shen Quji envied Wei Changan, envied her having a pair of parents who worry about her and being happy, envied her having several older brothers who were willing to shelter her from the wind and rain, what more could a husband ask for if he had a family like this?

"That's natural..." Shen Quji sighed almost imperceptibly, picked up the wine cup again, and patiently ate wine with Wei Jingchen.

One cup after another, two cups, three cups, four or five cups.

If you don't hear about the affairs of the world of heaven and earth, you will be accompanied by all the immortals in the eight wildernesses.

……

After all, his mother, Shen Lian, was a woman, and there were some things in the business world that couldn't be taught. Shen Quji's skills in wine tables and dinners were half learned by himself, and half were taught by his stepfather, Uncle Shen.

At this moment, seeing that Wei Jingchen still kept silent about the intention of coming after drinking for three rounds, Shen Quji simply brought out the "rarely confused" set taught by his stepfather Shen Shusheng, let's see who is more anxious than who.

The Shen family's drinking energy is strong, even if Shen Quji had eaten something to fill his stomach before he came, he would still start to feel dizzy after drinking.

Seeing Shen Quji's drunken and waking reaction, Wei Jingchen finally supported his head, and explained the purpose of this meeting with Shen Quji without any haste - the Wei family wanted to borrow the Shen family's tea road, Home-led Northwest Territories, share a cup of tea.

I don't know if Wei Jingchen didn't grasp the timing or what happened, just after he finished talking about borrowing tea, the dizzy Shen Quji fell on the table, drunk.

Wei Jingchen personally sent Shen Quji back to the Shen family, but in the end, Taohua, the aunt who had a husband and forgot her brother, gave her a lot of reprimands.

In the end, Wei Changan was worried that his eldest brother would only take one servant back, so he forced Shen Pan to personally drive Wei Jingchen back to Wei's house and hand it over to her sister-in-law. A good meal of "Huai" was nothing more than scolding Shen Quji for getting her husband drunk, and he had no good intentions.

Wei Jingchen felt a little more balanced now, well, my sister is still his sister.

In the Wei family over there, Wei Huang was happily pointing at Shen Pan, pointing at Sang and scolding Huai.

In the Shen family here, the deity of "Huai" who was being scolded is playing drunkenly with the help of drunkenness. No, it's not drunkenness, it's hooliganism.

After Wei Changan ordered someone to bring hot water, he waved the servant girl away. Originally, she planned to wipe the body of this stinking drunk, but as soon as the hot towel touched the guy's face, Wei Changan was thrown away. Grasping his wrist with one hand and wrapping his waist with the other, he rolled over and was pressed onto the bed.

Wei Changan was pinned down by this man and couldn't move, so he had to move his wrist, shake the face cloth in his hand, and said with difficulty: "Mr. Shen, did you see this? Didn't you say you were too hot? Use this to wipe your face." Wipe your face, you won't be hot if you wipe it, be obedient..."

With a slight movement of the big hand on Wei Changan's wrist, the towel soaked in hot water was thrown far away from the bed, and fell on the mahogany top of the round table with a "slap".

"Isn't it hot after just rubbing your face?" A drunk man said clearly and clearly, "Then if I kiss you, won't my headache stop?"

"...Shen, you, you rascal!" The fearless young lady was molested.

She blushed, groaned and deflated for a long time, but she also thought of a way to lift the person on top of her body, but she exhausted all her energy, and the person on top of her was obstinately motionless.

It can be seen that sometimes those who seem powerless do not mean that they are really powerless.

Seeing the blushing and drunken Shen Quji, Wei Changan had no choice but to change her approach. She pouted her lips, and mist soon appeared in her big eyes: "Shen Quji, you bullied me..."

Thanks to Shen Quji, he is a soft eater.

After hearing Wei Chang'an's words, the drunken man's eyes that were so deep that they seemed to be embedded with stars in the night slowly dimmed.

The man gently brushed away the broken hair sticking to Wei Changan's face, and placed an extremely gentle kiss on the corner of Wei Changan's eyes.

This man's voice, hoarse and full of forbearance and restraint, made people feel distressed.

The man leaned in her ear and said, "Don't do this, I won't bully you..."

When he closed his mouth, the man's hand on the side of Wei Chang'an's face was clenched into a fist, and his nails dug into his palm hard, only then did he regain his sobriety.

Shen Quji scolded himself, Shen Quji, you are so fucking shameless!How dare you touch her!Don't you know how dirty you are!

"Yes, I'm sorry, I'm sorry..." Shen Quji whispered in a voice that was almost a whisper, over and over again.

However, when the person who had calmed down stood up and was about to leave Wei Chang'an, a soft, boneless hand with a cool feeling ran along Shen Quji's waist and inserted into Shen Quji's undershirt.

"...Wei Chang'an!" Shen Quji almost roared these three words, she quickly pressed down the troubled hand, the eyes that had dimmed just now became deeper, and there was a faint beating inside. In the flames, I don't know if it was a warning or a plea: "Don't force me..."

Wei Changan fixed his eyes directly on Shen Quji's, without fear: "Please tell me clearly, who are we forcing whom?"

The drunken man had been stripped of only his underwear, but just now he made such a fuss, the laces of the white underwear were undone at some point, and the skirt of the shirt fell down, revealing his entire flat chest, thin but able to block it. wind and rain.

Wei Changan's other hand gently pressed it up to the position of the heart—something inside was beating rapidly, once and for all, pressing against Wei Changan's palm forcefully, making her feel clearly that it Every beat of her body expresses her joy and excitement unabashedly.

So warm, so sincere.

Wei Chang'an's hand pressed slightly hard on the heart: "Shen Quji, listen, it says that there is me in it."

……

Shen Quji finally slammed the door and left, barefoot, wearing only his underwear, with his chest exposed.

Is Shen Quji angry?

Shen Quji was angry!

Shen Quji was angry.

Wei Changan lay disheveled on the bed, giggling until tears came out of the corners of his eyes, until the tears fell down his eyes in a row, Wei Changan was still laughing, laughing...

It was not yet deep at night, and occasionally a servant girl passed by with a lantern on the road. Barefoot, Shen Quji stepped on the cobblestone path, wandering back and forth to the lotus pond in the backyard.

Looking for the memory of that evening, Shen Quji came to the big willow tree, bent down and sat on a tree root that grew out of the ground.

The lotus pond was buzzing with insects and frogs. Shen Quji stretched out his hand and grabbed a leaf of mosquito repellent, and soon a faint fragrance lingered on his fingertips.

Slowly, Shen Quji calmed down, besides the croaking of frogs, she could also hear her own heartbeat, thump, thump, thump... Involuntarily, Shen Quji raised his hand to touch his heart, Not only was her heart beating there, it was flat.

As if there was a voice in her heart guiding her, Shen Quji raised her hand, raised her head slightly, and she touched her protruding Adam's apple.

In the blink of an eye, just as she put down her hand, a warm drop fell on the back of her bony hand, and another drop fell. Shen Quji quickly pulled up his sleeves and wiped his face. Why was she crying?How can she cry?She can't cry!She couldn't shed a single tear.

……

Early the next morning, when Shen Pan found his young master by the lotus pond, Shen Quji was shaking all over and had a high fever.

Shen Quji's illness shocked everyone in the Shen family.

Old Mrs. Shen came to visit Xinyixuan in person. He personally fed two mouthfuls of medicine to his grandson, and also brought a small jar of medicinal wine for dispelling dampness, detoxifying and consolidating the foundation.

Shen Jie and Aunt Qin came here together, and Aunt Qin comforted Wei Changan, but Shen Jie spared no effort to make fun of Shen Quji, but Aunt Qin left Xinyixuan after being swatted by Aunt Qin like a fly.

Shen Qubing's biological mother, Aunt Zhang, brought some supplements, and she told Wei Changan to take good care of the young master, otherwise it would be bad if there was some root cause of illness. At the end, Aunt Zhang still didn't forget to keep an eye on Wei Changan With a flat belly, he showed off his grandson who was about to be born in a strange way.

Wei Chang'an really didn't want to waste his words with Aunt Zhang.

In the evening, as soon as Dr. Dong left after the follow-up consultation, Shen Qubing, who had returned from his busy work at the tea house, followed him in.

Shen Qubing is not the same as his mother, Aunt Zhang. Shen Qubing knows restraint and restraint.

Shen Quji, who had just faded from the high fever, talked to Shen Qubing for a long time in the house, and all the servants were dismissed, until Wei Changan knocked on the door with a medicine bowl.

Shen Qubing hurriedly apologized, nothing more than saying that he didn't take time to talk and interrupted his elder brother to rest, it was really reckless and rude.

For some unknown reason, Wei Chang'an privately felt that Shen Quji's politeness would make people think that he was a modest gentleman, but Shen Qubing's politeness gave people a kind of hypocrisy. feel.

She didn't like dealing with her second uncle, Shen Qubing.

After Shen Qubing left wisely, there was such a silence between the two people in the room that one could almost hear the steaming soup in the bowl.

After a long time, Wei Changan bent down and put the medicine bowl on the high table next to the bed: "It's time to take medicine."

"En," Shen Qu responded quickly, turning his head to look at the steaming thick soup, "Thank you."

Wei Changan didn't make another sound, just put the oil paper bag in the other hand beside the medicine bowl, then turned and went out.

Shen Quji took a careful look at the greased paper bag, oh, it's candied fruit from Xu's shop in the west of the city.

The author has something to say: the "one cup, two cups, three or four cups" in this chapter is the author's nonsense, ennnn

Forgive the author Jun for his literary skills that are even more clean than a pocketbook, ennnn

No.: Ruoli (1)

There is a distance between people.

If the distance is limited to a hundred steps, Wei Changan is the kind of person who "as long as you take one step towards me, I will take 99 steps towards you".

But she found that within the distance of a hundred steps between her and Shen Quji, as long as she dared to take a step forward, the man surnamed Shen would be able to take two steps back in a row, so as not to avoid her in time.

Wrong, wrong, she was reckless - Shen Quji said that after one or two years, he would divorce his wife.

Shen Quji stayed in the house for three whole days because of fever.

But only three days later, Shen Quji discovered that Wei Changan had changed into an inexplicable attitude towards her. Wei Changan's attitude was indifferent but peaceful, as if nothing happened that night, as if... as if ……Why!

Looking at Wei Changan who was doing needlework in front of the waterwheel by the south window, Shen Quji couldn't help pursing his lips. After all, he still got this step, so why bother?

Empty sighs who paid infatuation by mistake, is too timid to mention the white head, and speaks too early.

At noon on the fourth day, Shen Quji, who was already in good shape, was about to take Shen Pan for a walk around the restaurant, when a little maid beside Aunt Zhang came to Xinyixuan happily.

Tong Fang who said that Shen Qubing gave birth to a fat boy.

After hearing the news, Wei Changan ordered Jixiang to get the congratulatory gift that he had already prepared, and planned to go to the yard of his second uncle Shen Qubing himself, but Shen Quji stood by the door in a daze.

"Aren't you going to take a look?" Wei Changan came to Shen Quji and stood two steps away from Shen Quji: "After all, he is the first great-grandson in the family."

Shen Quji clasped his hands behind his back, rolled his eyeballs, shook his head and said, "No, it's just a concubine who lives in the house, you've already given Aunt Zhang enough face in the past."

After the words fell, the man in the sapphire blue robe and white jade crown led Shen Pan Shi Shiran away from the mansion.

When Wei Changan came to Shen Qubing's place with auspicious wishes and a lot of congratulatory gifts, all the masters of the Shen family were already there.

Aunt Zhang was holding a big red swaddle in front of old Mrs. Shen, and she was bending over to look after the child for Shen Xiren who was sitting on the seat. While talking with the smiling Aunt Zhang.

The child's father, Shen Qubing, just stood beside him without saying a word.

Shen Jie was dragged by her mother, Aunt Qin, who had a bad face, and reluctantly surrounded Aunt Zhang. Xiao Jintian grabbed Aunt Zhang's clothes and wanted to see the children, but was kicked by Aunt Zhang without a trace. opened.

"Young Madam is here!" Aunt Qin pulled Wei Changan over quickly, raised a sharp voice, and said to the baby in the swaddle, "Yo! Master's little golden grandson, look quickly!" Who's coming to see you? It's your real relative's elder lady who came to see you!"

Before Aunt Qin's voice fell, Shen Jie's face completely darkened.

Old Mrs. Shen sternly sternly scolded Aunt Qin, "You are so nonsense! What are you going to do if you scare the sick child!"

Aunt Qin kept silent, and the smile on Aunt Zhang's face became brighter.

Wei Changan ignored these, and greeted the people in the room one by one, then picked up Xiao Jintian, held her hand, and stuffed a red envelope into the swaddle with a happy smile, boasting: "What a radiant face!" Fat boy!"

The attention of the people in the room was drawn back to the wrinkled and hairless monkey-like newborn again, and then Aunt Zhang threw out the words she had already thought about.

She gave the swaddle baby in her arms to the old man slightly, and said with a smile: "It is said that children are difficult to raise, but dare to ask the old man to name this child? With a good name, it will be easy to support!"

How about a name... Old Mrs. Shen brushed the long gray beard on his chin, pondered for a moment with his eyelids down, and said slowly: "Since this son was born in Sanfu, let's call him Yanlang."

Aunt Zhang's hand holding the baby trembled slightly, her face blooming with a smile was stunned, Yan, Yan Lang?

"Old man, what about the name?" Aunt Zhang was a little unwilling, she shook off the swaddling clothes, and showed the old man a piece of /not/hanging baby, so that people could clearly see the gender of the child: "The child's surname is Shen, Yan Lang It's a nickname, what about your big name?"

Old Mrs. Shen first raised his head to look at his daughter Shen Lian beside him, and then looked at Aunt Zhang again. He stretched out his hand to wrap the baby in swaddling clothes, and said in a deep voice, "Qu Bing hasn't married a regular wife yet, and Qu Bing's long-term wife hasn't married yet either." In terms of movement, it is fine to give this child a name, but I don’t know if he has the blessing to bear it.”

The last sentence of Old Master Shen was almost scolded, and Aunt Zhang was so frightened that she almost threw her grandson out of her arms.

After seeing the gloating smile on Aunt Qin's face, Wei Changan suddenly understood the reason why Shen Quji didn't come to see the child.

That's right, this child is just a bastard born in Tongfang, a bastard who doesn't even deserve a formal name.

……

The sun was setting towards the west, and when Shen Quji came back, he found that the room was empty, and even the two girls of Jixiang Ruyi didn't know where they had gone.

Shen Quji came to the wooden bridge in the yard, fondling the small longevity lock made of sterling silver with deep eyes.

The sound of running water under the wooden bridge, for a long time, Shen Quji spread the longevity lock in the palm of his hand and looked at it gently. The longevity lock is exquisite and beautiful, and it must be very cute for children to wear it.

"Send this to the second young master's house." Shen Quji handed the longevity lock to Shen Pan: "Just say I wish Yanlang peace and happiness."

Shen Pan took his long life and locked Xinyixuan out, Shen Quji glanced at the yard twice, and then came to the small kitchen at the back with his hands behind his back.

Sure enough, she was busy in the small kitchen with Jixiang Ruyi, Jixiang was making noodles, and Ruyi was lighting the fire.

Wei Changan saw Shen Quji when he turned around to take the empty plate. The man stood by the door with folded hands for an unknown how long.

"The sage said that a gentleman stays away from the kitchen, what are you doing here?" Wei Changan said indifferently, holding the chopsticks in one hand and the iron pot in the other, ready to pour the fried bitter gourd onto the plate.

However, the iron pot was too heavy, Wei Changan tilted his hand, and seeing that the dishes in the pot were about to fall over, a hand with well-defined knuckles grabbed her hand in time to help her stabilize the iron pot.

"Why are you cooking by yourself, where is the cook?" Shen Quji took the chopsticks from Wei Changan's hand, and poured all the bitter gourd scrambled eggs into the plate steadily.

Jixiang Ruyi turned her head to look at her young lady and uncle at the same time, and then they looked at each other with a smile, then lowered their heads and went to work on their respective tasks.

Wei Changan quietly avoided Shen Quji's approach, and repeatedly urged Shen Quji to leave. There was a faint tea fragrance on Shen's body, which always made Wei Changan want to get closer, but she also knew clearly that the surname Shen didn't like her approaching him.

Wei Changan's sarcastic remarks made Shen Quji feel as if he had been soaked in Coptis chinensis. After Wei Changan urged her to leave again, Shen Quji reluctantly put down the things in his hand, blinked, turned and left.

Wei Chang'an cooked the food himself, but Shen Quji, who was still hungry, couldn't eat the food she cooked. It was his mother, Shen Lian, who sent a message that Shen Quji would go to the Wushou River for her.

Stepfather Shen Shusheng was not at home, so it was naturally impossible for the second and third child to go to such an occasion where he had relationships with many businessmen, and Shen Qu was the first to bear the brunt.

Let's talk about the Wushou Riverside, what can it have?

It's nothing more than a piece of flower boats, Miyin Zuiye, the top flower girl, and a spring breeze.

The truth is-

There is no worry about the mother on the no-sorrow river, and there is no shortage of food on the silver grate of the tin head.

The wine stains turn the color of the skirt, and it is hard to escape the romantic young man.

The first time Shen Quji came to this kind of place was when the alliance of Hezhou tea merchants in the northwest was formally established three years ago. As the leader of the Shen family, Shen Shusheng came forward to invite those tea merchants to eat and drink to celebrate. , and brought out Shen Quji by the way.

Later, the alliance invites everyone to come here for entertainment once a year, and Shen Lian will ask Shen Quji to stand for her every time. After all, Shen Lian doesn't believe in Shen Shusheng wholeheartedly.

Find a kiln on land to go to Huayue Tower, and the flower boat on the water will come to the spring breeze.

Just as Shen Quji stepped on the flower boat in the spring breeze, a young man with a peony flower pinned to his head greeted him from the boat building.

"My young master Shen, you are here!" Wen Peng held half a jug of wine, and warmly put it on Shen Quji's shoulders, smiling meaningfully: "I haven't seen you come out since we got married." Oh, tell me, is it because the peach blossoms are so vicious that you can't get out of your kid? Hahahaha..."

"What nonsense are you talking about?" Shen Quji unceremoniously gave Wen Peng a sharp eye with his big eyes: "You are amazing, so let me see what you are capable of!"

Shen Quji asked himself that he knew Wen Pengju quite well, this guy was just a flirtatious man, but in fact he was the most loyal in his heart.

Wen Pengju laughed and led Shen Quji into the ship building. Inside, there were singing and dancing, zither and flute, and the girls were all lightly made-up and wearing gauze half-hidden.

"Didn't I lose in my drinking capacity?" Wen Pengju took a wine cup from the side and stuffed it into Shen Quji's hand, and said nonchalantly, "It would be great if I had half your drinking capacity, buddy, as long as I don't give it to me." It's not a problem to fight seven games at night, dude!"

Several elders of the tea merchants walked towards them, and Shen Quji toasted with them one by one.

This gathering is hosted by the tea merchant Master Guo.

At the beginning of the year, he listened to Shen Quji's words, and secretly stockpiled a lot of spring tea. As a result, it rained heavily in summer and the new batch of tea did not arrive. Master Guo took the opportunity to make a fortune.

Businessmen value profits and don't care about favors.

Shen Quji didn't have any hobbies that could make Mr. Guo fall in love with him. Therefore, the only way he could think of to thank Shen Quji was women, and money was all that matters. Show off the money bag in front of the family.

Because of the sarcastic remarks from Wei Changan, Shen Quji felt depressed and uncomfortable, as if a ball of cotton was stuffed, making people irritable, rushing someone to come to toast, Shen Quji accepted them all without fear. down.

However, after only three rounds of drinking, the eldest grandson of Shen Xiren, the "drinker" of Hezhou, was actually drunk.

After a group of elders and peers teased Shen Quji for a few words, Master Guo asked someone to help Young Master Shen upstairs.

"Remember, room No. [-], go upstairs and turn left, turn right at the end, the third room on the right." Master Guo once again told Gui Nu: "Be sure to send it in, and send it to the bed!"

Mr. Guo was called to drink, and the little turtle slave was thinking about the room Mr. Guo told him, and helped Mr. Shen upstairs all the way.

Uncle Shen vomited at the corner upstairs, and he vomited in a mess. Gui Nu knew that this man was a nobleman, so he hurriedly helped him clean up.

Guinu wanted to continue to support Shen Quji to go to Room A No. [-], but the old man staggered and took off his dirty robe and threw it to Guinu, and ordered to take the robe and throw it away.

Gui Nu didn't dare to be negligent, and quickly left with the robe in his hands, but when he threw away the robe and came back, the nobleman was nowhere to be seen.

Guinu hurriedly found Mr. Guo, who knew that Mr. Guo said that he did a good job, and asked him to find someone to get the rest of the money. Guinu scratched his head, probably the nobleman went to the room by himself .

As Shen Xiren's "eldest grandson", Shen Quji seldom vomited once when he was drunk, although he was still dizzy, but at least his mind was clearer.

Shen Quji knew what Master Guo wanted to do, so he followed the room that Master Guo told Gui Nu to find in.

Sure enough, there was a half-dressed woman leaning on the bed, she was not very old, but she was wearing mature makeup.

Shen Quji blinked his big black eyes. It seemed that she had just taken advantage of the time to spit out the virtuous gentleman in the past. Now, there was only a lustful hooligan left in his body.

"...It looks familiar," Shen Qu walked over with swaying steps, sat down on the edge of the bed unsteadily, and stretched out his hand to lift the woman's chin: "Have you seen it?"

The woman raised her hand, stroked Shen Quji's wrist with her fingertips, and slid it back and forth, her half-closed eyes gleaming: "Chunfeng Mi, Taoyao."

"So it's...Miss Taoyao," Shen Quji tilted his head and leaned closer, his big drunken eyes blinked and blinked, they were extremely beautiful.

Shen Quji's voice was low and hoarse, but the word "Taoyao" was pronounced by this person in a gentle tone, and Taoyao's heart skipped a beat.

Shen Quji's tone turned into a bit of sarcasm: "Master Guo is really generous, it took a lot of money to invite you."

The fingertips on Shen Quji's wrist stopped rubbing back and forth, Taoyao sneered, and took the initiative to stick it into Shen Qujiu's arms, with an indescribably charming expression on her face: "Money and dung, Taoyao only agrees to see it how about it?"

The word "how" was said by Taoyao with her mouth pressed against Shen Quji's auricle. The woman's soft lips rubbed against Shen Quji's auricle intentionally or unintentionally, making Shen Quji feel
