peach smile

Quji has an urge to surge blood.

Sex after drinking was just a thought, Shen Quji, who had always been self-controlled, barely managed to regain consciousness, Taoyao seemed to see through something, she turned over suddenly and crushed Shen Quji under her body.

"There are people waiting every night at home, and there are things for entertainment outside. Why, Young Master Shen is not daring anymore?" Tao Yao sat on the belly of the person under her, and pulled the person's chest away. He drew circles on the man's chest with his fingers, and his eyes suddenly turned cold: "...Oh, it turns out that men are all the same..."

As soon as the words fell, Taoyao felt the world spinning for a while, and in the blink of an eye, she was turned around and crushed under her body.

The corner of Shen Quji's mouth twitched into a smile of unknown meaning, she lowered her head and leaned into Taoyao's ear and said, "Since you know that men are all the same, why don't you try something else?"

Tao Yao's lazy eyes had been half-closed, but at this moment, she was staring at Shen Quji's face, her eyes slowly opened wide, staring at Shen Quji without blinking.

A moment later, Taoyao raised her arms around Shen Quji's neck, her seductive red lips moved slightly, and silently said four words to Shen Quji.

Shen Quji was stunned for a moment, the corners of his slightly cold mouth curled slightly, he raised his hand and tore off the bed curtain that invaded the fragrance, covering the two people on the bed...

There is a saying that the light of the jade pot turns, and the fish and the dragon dance all night, and the romance goes wrong.

No.: Ruoli (2)

Shen Quji got into a catastrophe——

Shen Lian became furious after knowing that his "son" had slept with Chunfengcuo's Taoyao. Fearing that Shen Quji's identity would be exposed, Shen Lian not only punished Shen Quji to kneel in the small ancestral hall overnight, but also made Chunfengcuo's number one flower girl, Taoyao. He left Chunfengcuo silently and disappeared without a trace.

Shen Quji knelt in front of his father Chu Zhongding's tablet, and finally got into an argument with his mother Shen Lian.

Shen Quji couldn't tell his mother bluntly that he was just, just that... He didn't reveal his true identity to Taoyao.

Shen Quji didn't dare to contradict his mother directly, saying that there was no need for her mother to force Taoyao to leave Hezhou, saying that this matter was caused by her, and her mother could safely leave it to her to deal with it. She is already 22 years old, isn't it? little child.

Suddenly, the grievances imposed on him for more than ten years, the unspeakable helplessness, the deep sadness, and the dissatisfaction with his mother's various practices over the years, Shen Quji's breath got stuck in his throat, unable to get up or down. .

He opened his mouth again and again, but in the end he didn't say a word.

After arguing with his son for a few words, Shen Lian felt dizzy after leaving the small ancestral hall. Is it because he is too old to have more energy than his heart, or because his son has grown up and is no longer under her control...

The young master of the Shen family got into a catastrophe——

The young master of the Shen family was caught and raped by the wife of the young lady of the Shen family. No, Taoyao is a prostitute. The young master of the Shen family was not caught and raped in bed. Mrs. Fang bumped into him.

Such a statement quickly spread throughout Hezhou.

Three days later, Shen Yunian, the eldest daughter of the Shen family, broke into Xinyixuan with the vigor of beating up Shen Quxun.

"Shen Jinnian, get out of here, miss!" Shen Yunian stood on the wooden bridge in front of the house with a long whip in her hand, and the rushing water under the bridge added a lot of momentum to her.

Shen Quji came to the window, with a teacup in his hand, and his younger sister Shen Yunian separated the bamboo waterwheel outside the window, with a gentle expression on his face: "When did you come back? Why didn't you tell me first?"

"Say? Say something so that you can clean up the mess you made beforehand?!"

Accompanied by Shen Jinnian's imposing questioning, the long whip whipped around, whistling involuntarily and slashing towards Shen Quji's face...

Wei Changan was taking Shen Jintian to catch butterflies in the back garden of Shen's house, when he suddenly heard a woman's voice calling "Sister-in-law" a few times, Wei Changan followed the reputation, but saw a man who was almost exactly the same as Shen Quji's The girl was jumping and running towards her.

Wei Changan was taken aback, almost thought it was Shen Quji in women's clothing, but luckily the girl was following that person.

Shen Jintian had never seen his sister Shen Yunian before, so he threw away the butterfly net and hid in Wei Changan's arms to peek.

"Little sister-in-law, I am Yu Nian." The playful Shen Yunian always has a cute and sweet side. She pointed to herself, and then reluctantly pouted her lips behind her. That heartbreaker is different!"

Shen Quji, who was following behind Shen Yunian, frowned secretly, she never suspected that her biological sister was here to tear her down.

"I heard that you learned the piano from an expert in the capital, why did you come back without saying a word?" This girl was indeed Shen Yunian.

Wei Changan hugged Xiao Jintian and motioned for Shen Yunian to sit under the gazebo together, but his eyes tried to avoid the people behind Shen Yunian.

Shen Yunian answered Wei Changan's question warmly, cheerfully and curiously, but Wei Changan's gaze secretly fell on the back of Shen Quji's hand who was standing aside.

After Shen Quji noticed something, he put his hands behind his back, and then led Shen Pan away without saying a word.

"The reason why Shen Jinnian followed me was because I was afraid that you would be frightened by me." Shen Yunian said suddenly.

"Huh?" Wei Changan was caught, and hurriedly pulled back the sight that was gradually going away with someone's back, and smiled mischievously: "What Shen Jinnian? What are you talking about?"

Shen Yunian squeezed a piece of pastry and threw it into his mouth, and raised his eyebrows; "Shen Jinnian, my brother, I slapped his hand, don't worry too much, that guy's rough skin and thick flesh will heal in two days. "

Wei Changan: "..."

Do twins get along like this?

Wei Changan poured a cup of tea and pushed it in front of Shen Yunian, and said softly, "You are brothers and sisters, if there is anything you can't say well, why are you doing it?"

"Oh, we didn't do anything. It was I who beat him. He was just beaten." Shen Yunian picked up his teacup to drink tea, but the tip of his tongue was scalded by the hot tea, and after a long hiss he said angrily, "I My good sister-in-law, don't be fooled by Shen Jinnian's gentlemanly appearance, he deserves a beating!"

Wei Chang'an suspects that Shen Yunian did not go to learn the elegant musical instrument "qin" during the four years she went to the capital, but she went to the rivers and lakes with pleasure and hatred!

"Sister-in-law, let me tell you..." Shen Yunian got up and sat on the stool next to Wei Changan, with a fierce look in his eyes, as if defending something to the death: "I will be at home from now on, as long as he Shen Jinnian dares to do something, I'm sorry for you Don't worry, I promise to beat him once I see him!"

Wei Changan: "..."

Different from Shen Quji's coldness and indifference, Shen Yunian is a warm and enthusiastic girl who makes people feel close without any precaution. Furthermore, the sister-in-law said such words to Wei Changan when they met for the first time. I don't know how to proceed.

Shen Jintian, who had been in Wei Changan's arms all this time, suddenly pointed at Shen Yunian with a crisp voice: "Beautiful brother!!"

Shen Yunian pointed at himself, and looked at Shen Jintian with the same big eyes as Shen Quji in puzzlement, "Beautiful, pretty brother? Me?"

Three-year-old Shen Jintian nodded, continued to point at Shen Yunian, and said in a childlike voice, "Brother Quji, you are beautiful~"

Shen Yunian was amused.

She hugged Shen Jintian to herself, and pinched Shen Jintian's chubby face dumbfoundingly: "I'm not your elder brother Quji, I'm your older sister, older sister Yu Nian, come and learn from me, Yu, Nian, older sister~"

Shen Yunian sternly taught Xiao Jintian how to call someone, Wei Changan pretended to be calm, but Shen Yunian's casual words caused great waves.

……

At night, Shen Quji in the study finally received good news. Shen Pan came back and said that the person behind the scenes who lured Wei Changan to the flower boat had been found out.

It was not as expected by Shen Quji, but what really gave Shen Quji a headache was the purpose of this person.

For the Shen family, Shen Quji is the heir with the purest bloodline of the Shen family, and with the support of the Chu family behind her, she is truly invulnerable.

For the Wei family, Shen Quji agreed to borrow the tea ceremony from Wei Jingchen, so doing so would not be able to stir up conflicts between the Shen and Wei families, not to mention that Wei Jingchen also told Shen Quji that it is common for men to have fun.

So, who else will be involved?Involved... Shen Dongren's family?Or... the Feng family? !

Damn it!

Shen Quji was a little upset, and the bruise on the back of his hand that was drawn by Shen Yunian also hurt suddenly...

The sound of knocking on the door interrupted Shen Quji's distraction, and Shen Pan reported from under the door: "Eldest Young Master, Young Madam is here."

Shen Quji's mind was shaken, his eyes were filled with joy and joy, and in just a split second, the man's dark eyes returned to their usual desolation.

Shen Quji opened the door with imperceptible tremors, she signaled Shen Pan outside to leave, and then looked down at Wei Changan: "You, why are you here?"

Wei Changan raised the things in his hands, and there was no extra emotion in his tone: "Yu Nian said that he just wanted to tease you, but I didn't expect you to even hide. You are stupid, why don't you hide?"

Shen Quji invited him into the study room, but kept an appropriate distance in a courteous manner. After hearing Wei Changan's words, Shen Quji muttered for a long time before uttering only three words, sorry.

Wei Changan asked Shen Quji to sit down on the stool, his eyes were no longer crescent like before, but there was still a slight smile on the corner of his mouth: "There is nothing to be sorry about."

She held Shen Quji's hand and began to apply medicine to the bruise, "Before my father married my mother, he had three concubines. A regular customer of Yuelou, a girl named Jinghong is my father's old friend, heh, what's the matter, isn't life going on as usual?"

Wei Changan suddenly raised his head and looked at Shen Quji, his eyes were clear, and his expression was dull: "I haven't seen my father and mother say sorry, since men are like this, then you don't have to say sorry to me, really of."

Shen Quji suddenly withdrew his hand that hadn't wiped the ointment evenly, frowned, and stared at Wei Changan with his big eyes without a moment's notice, without saying a word.

Wei Changan froze for a moment, then smiled again, the pear hole on his lips looming: "That's good, you apologize, I accept, you say I'm sorry, I say it's okay, how about it?"

Shen Quji just looked at her with deep eyes and remained silent.

"Then what do you want from me?!" Wei Changan's patience was really exhausted, and the emotions he had suppressed for a long time gradually came out, tears began to fall unstoppably, and he rolled back and forth in his heart with grievance and loss: "They They all say that it is normal for a man to have three wives and four concubines, and they also say that it is normal for a man like you to have women outside, okay! Since you don’t want to touch me, then I accept these! But Shen Quji, why are you still refusing to let go? Pass me?!"

Some words, it's okay not to say them in your heart, once a hole is accidentally torn open, all the sadness will be leaked out like beans, and you can't hold it back.

"You obviously hate me, resist me, and don't even want me to touch you, and don't even want to talk to me, but why do you still treat me so well? Is it because I bear the name of your wife? ? Shen Quji, if this is the case, then you don't have to, because the last thing I, Wei Changan, need is other people's pity!"

The more Wei Changan talked, the more wronged he became, and the more he cried, the more he cried, even Shen Pan, who was guarding outside the courtyard gate, could faintly hear her crying.

Shen Pan finally breathed a sigh of relief, the young lady and the young master had been angry for so long, and this time they finally let it out!

To be honest, since childhood, Shen Quji has never met someone who cried as hard as Wei Changan. Tears fell down like he didn't want money. This is what crying looks like.

"...Chang'an, stop crying, be good..." Shen Quji changed another clean veil to wipe Wei Chang'an's tears and nose, and didn't know what else to say except the words to coax the child.

Wei Chang'an cried hard and couldn't stop for a while.

Thinking of her, Wei Chang'an, who has been cared for by her parents and doted on by her brothers for the past 20 years, when has she ever suffered such grievances!

"My surname is Shen... just bully me... woo woo... You will definitely bully me... woo woo..."

Shen Quji stood up at a loss, his bony hands gently caressed Wei Changan's blue hair, his deep eyes couldn't be more gentle where Wei Changan couldn't see: "No, Chang'an, it won't be like this It's..."

How can I be willing to bully you?

But after all, I bullied you!

However, I am destined to not only bully you...

/ / /

It stands to reason that Shen Qubing, as the real eldest son of Shen Shusheng, should have received some care from Shen Shusheng, but for some reason, Shen Shusheng seemed to prefer Shen Quji's stepson.

Shen Qubing's biological mother, Aunt Zhang, couldn't figure it out the most.

Especially now, Aunt Zhang is half-lying and half-leaning on the concubine's couch made of pear blossom wood, looking at the cuter little grandson in the cradle next to her, suddenly a person comes to mind in her mind.

Aunt Zhang knew that the Patriarch had been at home all the time, and after a thought flashed through her mind, she immediately said that the wind was the rain that came to Shen Lian's place.

After Fu Que introduced Aunt Zhang into the study, she stood aside and did not leave. Behind the desk, Shen Lian, who had been writing something with her head down, raised her eyebrows and looked at Aunt Zhang, with an attitude of "speak quickly if you have something to say".

Aunt Zhang was a little timid, she just got stuck in the scene she had imagined, but now she was sobered up by Shen Lian's stare.

She hesitated and said: "Patriarch, Qubing is 21 years old this year. He already has a concubine, but there is no one in the house who really understands the cold and the hot. The master is busy with business all day long and has no time to take care of him. How dare I invite the patriarch?" Shang Xin, can you tell Qu Bing a daughter-in-law whom he wants?"

Say daughter-in-law?

Shen Lian subconsciously frowned, put down the pen in his hand, and murmured: "Since you told me personally, it should be something you should take to heart. You are Qubing's biological mother. Do you fall in love with me?" The candidate? Although speaking, I will marry him for Qubing, but..." Shen Lian narrowed his eyes, and added: "The wife of the second young master of the Shen family is not from a small family. A daughter deserves it."

Shen Lian's words are both explicit and dark, a small family is not worthy of our Shen family, but Shen Qubing's background is doomed that he will not be able to climb high, so Aunt Zhang, you'd better think clearly before speaking.

Aunt Zhang was overwhelmed by what Shen Lian said so far—the words "Miss Qingcheng Biao" that lingered on her lips were swallowed back alive by her.

"...Huh? No?" Seeing Aunt Zhang's silence for a long time, Shen Lian rarely took the initiative to say: "Perhaps Qu Bing already has his own heart? That's fine, just let him talk to me."

You can't settle for low, and you can't reach high, but if Qubing really likes him, I'm willing to fight for him.

Although she didn't have the guts, Aunt Zhang really wanted to rush in front of Shen Lian at this time, and slam the words "Feng Qingcheng" on Shen Lian's forehead.

But since the head of the family, Shen Lian, has already asked, Aunt Zhang has to name someone, otherwise she can't be fooled, hey!never mind!Aunt Zhang closed her eyes and turned her heart: "I want to marry Miss Qingcheng Biao for Qubing!"

Shen Lian: "..."

Allure?Feng Qingcheng?Feng Qingcheng, the granddaughter of the Chu family? ?

"Don't worry about this," Shen Lian raised his hand and made a "steady" wave: "After all, the Feng family is a relative of Qu Ji, I have to discuss it with him first..."

Aunt Zhang doubted her ears—what did the Patriarch say?Say you want to discuss it with the young master first?Ha ha ha ha!Aunt Zhang couldn't restrain the corners of her mouth from rising - when did the young master not agree to the request of the younger brothers? !The young master has always doted on his younger brothers!

Happiness came too suddenly!Aunt Zhang seemed to see all the futures she had imagined all of a sudden become real!The high priest and the young priest, all the gods and Buddhas of the emperor and empress!Your eyes are open! !

Aunt Zhang walked happily and drifted away, Shen Lian squeezed the aching brows, feeling a little dizzy in her mind.

A pair of catkins came up and gently and slowly massaged Shen Lian's temples.

After a while, Shen Lian fought back, and pulled the person standing behind him to the front and sat down on her lap.

Shen Lian buried his face in Fu Que's arms, sighing with deep tiredness.

Fu Que raised her hand and hugged Shen Lian's head full of distress, her soft and gentle voice could always make people put aside all their troubles for a while.

She said, "Ah Lian, take a rest when you're tired, it's okay..."

No.: Feng Family (1)

Wei Changan finally reconciled with himself, but Shen Quji suffered from insomnia that night.

She didn't know what she was thinking, but she just stared at a certain place on the bed curtain with her big eyes until the dim light of dawn dimly illuminated the room.

Looking at the peaceful and gentle sleeping face of the person beside him, Shen Quji trembled his hands slightly, summoned up his courage, hesitated a few times, and finally touched the person's cheek lightly, with utmost care.

Before Xiaoshu, when he first found out that his marriage partner was the only daughter of the Wei family, Shen Quji's first reaction was actually very happy, but at the same time he refused.

The reason why Shen Quji was so excited that he couldn't sleep at night but also so depressed that he couldn't rest at night was that she was not a man, but she was not a woman either, so why should she approach Wei Chang'an?What will she rely on to make Wei Changan accept her?

——I, I am clearly a monster who is neither male nor female!

Shen Quji's hand was involuntarily placed on his flat chest.

She can't remember the taste of the medicine that her mother poured into her mouth. She only remembers that the medicine is very bitter. After taking it, her stomach hurts and she bleeds a lot. At that time, she thought she would die, but She didn't expect her life to be harmless, but she just turned into a monster with neither male nor female.

Yes, she is a woman, but have you ever seen a woman without breasts?Have you ever seen a woman with a Adam's apple and a man's voice?Have you ever seen a woman with a long beard and no monthly period?

The answer is no, at least Shen Quji has never seen such a person except himself.

So Shen Quji has always known that he is a monster, a monster who can only suppress himself cautiously and covertly.

Even if there is a person on the tip of my heart, I can only pretend that nothing happened.

Afraid of being laughed at, afraid of being known, and even more afraid of being seen clearly.

The sleeping Wei Changan suddenly moved his body, half opened one eye, and coquettishly rolled himself over to Shen Quji's side, his voice was hoarse, and he looked sleepy: "You woke up, what time is it? ...Did Shen Pan knock on the door?"

Shen Quji has never been able to resist Wei Changan's initiative to approach, she usually keeps a distance from her carefully, but every time Wei Changan takes the initiative, Shen Quji can be at a loss for a while.

Shen Quji's whole body tensed up the moment Wei Changan approached, and his hands were so nervous that he didn't know where to put them, so he had no choice but to pretend to be indifferent, and said flatly: "Just, just It's early in the morning, you can sleep a little longer, I won't disturb you when I leave."

Every time Wei Changan talked to him, Shen Quji always had a lot of things to answer, but for some reason, after going back and forth to the end, what she could say was only a few unmistakable and well-regulated words .

After a while, Shen Pan really came to knock on the door, but this time what he said was not "Eldest Young Master, it's time to get up", but "Eldest Young Master, something happened".

Shen's family brews wine. There are thirty pots in the Shen family's Shibalipu outside Hezhou City alone. Unable to hold back, she was bought back by Shen Lian, and it was precisely this that caused the accident.

When Shen Quji arrived, the masters and fellows on the cooking pot were all gathered outside the cooking pot. The cooking pot master, Master Bao, was squatting in an inconspicuous corner, his eyes were red.

Seeing the young master coming, Old Chen, the steward of the cooking pot, greeted him with hunched back and ashen face: "Young master, the cooking pot, the cooking pot was... destroyed!"

As Lao Chen spoke, he almost staggered and fell to the ground, Shen Quji helped him up: "Master Chen, don't worry, let me go and have a look first."

The pot was tampered with.

Before Shen Quji had time to take a closer look, the government officials rushed over.

Now that he has reported to the official, Shen Quji will be investigated by the government without any haste. When a pot was destroyed, Shen Quji subdivided the orders from the pot with other pot masters, and then went to work alone. One person went to see the cooker of this cooker, Mr. Bao.

Outside the house where the steward of the cooking pot does his daily work, Shen Pan stood with his hands in the shade of a big locust tree to hide from the sun—the Du family in Pingzhou just ordered [-] altars from the Shen family two days ago. The biggest cooking pot in the house was tampered with last night. Shen Pan sighed a long time, and looked up at the sky with half-raised face. Who do you think will make things difficult for the Shen family...

Word of mouth is the best way to exaggerate, and even completely reverse the cause and effect and distort the truth.

The story of the destruction of the Shen family’s cooking pot was passed on to Mrs. Shen’s ears several times, and then it became a completely different version—Shen Quji built a farm in Nafu Town last year, demolished the people’s houses, and occupied their fertile land to bully them. In order to avenge him, someone paid a lot of money to ask people in the Jianghu to destroy all the cooking pots of the Shen family.

Sometimes people are very strange, they will not easily trust their own family members, but feel that the child is deliberately concealing the truth in order not to worry themselves. After hearing the "truth" that the servants inquired from outside, Shen Xiren did not slow down , immediately fell ill.

Hearing that the old man was so angry that he was unwell, Shen Quji, who had just rushed back, didn't plan to visit his grandfather, so she jumped off the carriage and ran towards the Shen family's big study where her mother was.

Wei Changan, who was waiting by Shen Xiren's side, heard that Shen Quji had returned, so he came outside the big study himself.

Half an hour later, Shen Quji came out of the big study in a hurry. If Shen Pan hadn't reminded him, Shen Quji would have walked right in front of Wei Changan.

"What's the matter?" Shen Quji stopped his hurried steps in time and asked with frowning.

Wei Changan pursed his lips, avoiding Shen Quji's eyes, shook his head and said, "I came to look for Shen Pan, and I happened to meet you, so go get busy."

After she finished speaking, she left in a hurry, as if there was a snake chasing her behind her.

At that time, Shen Quji, who also turned around and left, walked towards the gate, and looked back at Shen Pan unhurriedly.

Sensing the subtle changes in the aura around his young master, Shen Pan immediately cupped his hands and said, "The young lady is here to inquire about the real situation of the cooking pot, and the rumors that have been spread to the family are too confusing...Actually, the young master, the young lady The young lady is here to see you."

Didn't you send someone to send a message home?The person walking in front suddenly stopped, and turned his head to look at Shen Pan with deep eyes.

Shen Pan folded his hands and buried his head lower: "You have been so busy that you haven't even drank your saliva since you woke up this morning. The young lady is worried about you, so she came to see you. She prepared some snacks for you and put them on the carriage. , and... just as you entered the big study, the young lady came over and waited for you outside for half an hour."

Shen Quji hid her sleeves and rubbed her fingers hesitantly. Finally, she told Shen Pan: "If the young lady waits like this again, you can find an excuse to send her back."

Shen Pan: "Yes, Eldest Young Master."

Young Madam, I'm sorry, I didn't mean to tell the young master these things against your words on purpose, you don't know, the young master looks dignified, polite and gentle as jade, but in fact... the young master is really serious when he becomes powerful. It's terrible...

……

Although Wei Changan asked Shen Pan clearly about the cooking pot, Wei Changan reckoned that Shen Pan did not tell her the real situation, otherwise why would Shen Quji be so busy that he stayed in Shibalipu for four days without coming back? ?

On the fifth night, Wei Changan spread Shen Quji's quilt on the outside of the bed before going to bed, so that the man could lie down and sleep when he came back.

In the early morning of the next day, Wei Chang'an, who was sleepy, was woken up by a few rustling sounds.

As soon as he woke up, he saw Shen Qujiu walking from the side of the couch with a blanket under his arm, Wei Changan sat up: "When did you come back?"

Shen Quji didn't look at her, her nasal voice was a little heavy, and her voice was hoarse: "It's midnight." After touching her nose, she added: "I didn't want to wake you up, so I slept outside."

"... Oh." Wei Changan lowered his eyes, stopped talking, and got up.

In fact, Wei Changan knew that he was not afraid of waking her up, he was just trying his best to avoid her.

Sometimes Wei Changan really doesn't understand whether he is really like a scourge to him, or he is just loyal to his beloved and can't tolerate her in his heart.

To be honest, Wei Changan really hoped that Shen Quji treated her like this only because of the latter.

Wei Changan was so dazzled by this thought that he tidied up the bed unconsciously, but behind her, when Shen Quji saw her put away the quilt she had made for himself in a slump, the emotions in his eyes surged, and finally Just hide it all in indifference.

During breakfast, Shen Quji lowered his head and ate quickly and quietly without saying a word, while Wei Changan didn't make a sound. For a while, there was only the occasional sound of bowls and chopsticks colliding in the room, which was a bit weird.

Shen Quji was probably really hungry. After finishing the porridge in the bowl, she picked up more than half of the pancake and started eating with vegetables.

Wei Chang'an subconsciously raised her hand to add porridge to Shen Quji, but she twisted her fingers, and finally took it back, ordering Jixiang: "Add another half bowl of porridge to the young master."

Jixiang served another half bowl of porridge for Shen Quji according to her words, and Shen Quji finally ate it up. After the meal, she pointed to a plate of stir-fried pork with vegetables and peppers, and said, "Tell the cook, don't appear on the table in the future." Pepper."

Shen Pan clapped his hands and said yes, and ordered the people to evacuate the dinner table in an orderly manner.

The matter of burning the pot has not been completely resolved, and Shen Quji sat down for half a cup of tea under the grape arbor in the yard after dinner. Shen Fu came to report that someone from the Feng family in the capital had arrived.

The visitor is a guest, Shen Quji and Wei Changan came to the front hall of Shen's house to meet the guest.

The person who came was the current head of the Feng family, Feng Qingcheng's elder brother, Feng Bancheng.

Feng Bancheng was eight years older than Shen Quji. Shen Quji had an average relationship with this cousin, not estranged but not close either, so she sat in the front hall and chatted with Feng Bancheng casually, but the topics were also different. I can't get away from the Chu family.

It wasn't until Shen Quji's younger sister, Shen Yunian, rushed over after hearing the news that she broke the awkwardness between Shen Quji and Feng Bancheng.

It was probably because Shen Yunian had lived in the capital for a long time and had more contact with people there. She got along with Feng Bancheng, the young master of the Feng family, more naturally than Shen Quji.

Shen Quji sat there with his eyes half downcast, thinking about something gently, Wei Changan sat next to Shen Quji, silently and quietly looking at the situation in the room.

Shen Yunian was talking to her cousin Feng Bancheng, she would occasionally turn around and ask Shen Quji what, Shen Quji would always reply with words like "um" and "yes" slowly.

It was not until later that Wei Chang'an found out that Shen Quji would most likely force the other party to make the first move in a calm and leisurely manner, no matter whether Shen Quji had already guessed the other party's true intention or purpose.

/ / /

Anyone who has dealt with Shen Quji in the business field knows that no matter who wants to do something in front of Shen Quji, after this person has planned for a long time, waits until he can't hold back, and finally speaks or makes a move, this person will find out that, in fact, It was the calm young master Shen who had already arranged pockets for him to drill into, which couldn't have been more unexpected.

In Shen Quji's study——

The eldest young master sat behind the desk with his back straight, holding the host's shelf, nodded slightly, and looked at the piece of tea floating in the teacup on the table with half-closed eyes.

Rao Feng Bancheng, who is so sophisticated, finally couldn't hold back, and said first: "Okay, let's not talk about this matter for now."

Shen Quji slightly raised his eyelids and breathed a sigh of relief.

Feng Bancheng: "Then let's talk about Qingcheng..."

Shen Quji's study is located in the backyard of Xinyixuan near the back door. When looking from the front main house to the backyard, if the window facing the main house is open, Shen Yunian can just see Shen Quji It's like talking about things with my cousin, but unfortunately the window has been closed tightly.

"Sister-in-law, what do you think they are talking about... mysteriously..." Shen Yunian lay down in front of the north window and asked the people behind him absent-mindedly.

Wei Changan stopped the embroidery needle in his hand, thought about it seriously, and said, "It's probably talking about our family's cooking pot."

But Shen Yunian heard something new, turned around and looked at Wei Chang'an suspiciously: "Didn't Shen Jinnian solve the problem of boiling the pot?" The real meaning was corrected to: "The Feng family doesn't do wine making and selling business, what is Brother Bancheng doing with Shen Jinnian now?"

Wei Changan smiled shallowly, with deep pear dimples on her lips, she seemed to understand a little bit - as twins, her mother-in-law, Shen Lian, passed on her calm and introverted side to her son, and gave her all her innocent, cute and carefree side to her. daughter.

Shen Yunian seemed to understand Wei Changan's smile, and leaned over to hold Wei Changan's arm, and said coquettishly, "Sister-in-law, don't laugh at me! My mother is biased, and she has passed on all her intelligence and wisdom to Shen Jinnian, leaving all the things that will be laughed at. gave me..."

Wei Changan put away the embroidery needles but smiled and said nothing. After a while, when Shen Yunian had acted coquettishly enough, she took out a light blue embroidered handkerchief from the basket and gave it to Shen Yunian.

The handkerchief was exquisite, not even inferior to the embroidered handkerchief made of tribute brocade that Shen Yunian saw at Chu's house, which made her very happy, and immediately chattered around Wei Chang'an about the embroidered handkerchief.

Uncle Wei Chang'an's embroidery skills are among the best in Hezhou. Wei Chang'an's mother is also a master at embroidery. Make my sister-in-law so happy.

Seeing Shen Yunian's face with a seven-point resemblance to Shen Quji's, Wei Changan thought, if he gave him the things he made for that person, would that person raise the corners of his mouth and lower his eyes? How about showing a reserved but warm smile?

No.: Feng Family (2)

But everyone who was close to Shen Quji and Feng Qingcheng knew something about Feng Qingcheng's thoughts towards Shen Quji, but no one took it seriously.

Shen Qubing also didn't understand, it wasn't a year or two since Feng Qingcheng liked his eldest brother, why did the members of Feng's family suddenly fall in love with this after the eldest brother got married?

So Shen Qubing leaned his elbows on the edge of the table, put his chin in one hand and said, "It's not for business, nor did I ask for anything from the Shen family. Tsk, brother, I really can't think of anything else."

Shen Quji didn't answer the second brother's question right away, she stood in front of the multi-treasure stand, playing with a white jade snuff bottle, and said calmly after a while: "It's normal if you don't know... By the way, A few days ago, my mother said that your mother went to her to ask for a wife for you."

Thunder suddenly rumbled outside, Shen Quji and Shen Qubing turned their heads to look out of the window at the same time, only to see lightning flashing out of thin air outside, and the bean-sized raindrops rushed to fall with it, and they knocked on It hit all the existence on the earth, like a warning.

Ruzhu heavy rain was blown in by the east wind along the doors and windows. It wasn't cold, but goose bumps appeared on Shen Qubing's arms. He asked, "Whose daughter has my mother fallen in love with again?"

Shen Quji was rummaging for something on the desk at the moment. Hearing this, she said without raising her head, "Oh, Feng's family, Feng Qingcheng." After speaking, Shen Quji sneezed unexpectedly.

The Feng family?Feng Qingcheng?Shen Qubing's temples twitched uncontrollably a few times, and he couldn't help but let out a long sigh: "So the aunt agreed?"

Shen Quji found what he was looking for, she hooked the corners of her lips, holding the account book she had just found in her hand, she walked towards Shen Qubing, and said, "Didn't I come here to discuss with you? It's up to you, here, this is for you."

Shen Qubing handed the ledger to Shen Qubing.

The rain outside was getting heavier and heavier, and it was so heavy that even if the people in the room were facing each other, they had to raise their voices.

Shen Qubing took over the thick account book, frowned and raised his voice and said, "Brother, you are not kind! Miss Feng has been studying you for so many years, and now her elder brother has officially spoken to you, but you tell me that my mother wants to Let her be her daughter-in-law, big brother, you are naked/naked 'causing water to the east'!"

The sound of the heavy rain hitting everything was chaotic, and it made people panic inexplicably.

Shen Quji tried his best to ignore this flustered feeling.

She sat in the square chair, raised her legs idly, sniffed the smell of rainwater blowing in with the wind, and then said in a low and pleasant voice: "This is really a coincidence. We just had an accident with the pot at home. Feng Bancheng came all the way from the capital, as if it was specially arranged by someone."

Shen Qubing knew that his elder brother never talked nonsense, so he raised his thick black eyebrows, and a smirk curled up at the corner of his mouth: "Don't worry, elder brother, I will take care of this matter."

"Okay." Shen Quji narrowed his eyes and nodded.

The second younger brother Shen Qubing is different from the third younger brother Shen Jie. The second younger brother rarely smiles. He almost only has two kinds of smiles, either a sneer or a smirk. Seeing him smile like this now, Shen Quji knows that things are probably on the cards of.

The sudden heavy rain hadn't slowed down in the slightest, but Ji Xiang, who was in front of Wei Changan, braved the wind and rain and ran to the big study of the Shen family.

Wei Changan fell down.

Before Shen Pan, who was waiting by the door, opened the umbrella for his young master, Shen Quji's figure had already disappeared into the torrential rain.

Seeing the figure sending Shen Quji away quickly into the heavy rain, Shen Qubing who was standing at the door finally raised a sneer of unknown meaning.

Shen Quji ran all the way back to Xinyixuan, she calmed her breath outside the door, wiped the rainwater off her face, and then walked into the room through the curtain.

The room was very quiet, the incense burner in the middle was burning incense, and the thin smoke was slowly exhaled from the beast's mouth, and I sniffed it quickly, it was incense for calming the nerves.

Ruyi, who was guarding the bed, saw Shen Qu hurried in, and immediately tiptoed over.

"What's going on?" Shen Quji stopped and asked Ruyi in an almost whispering voice.

Looking at the person who was sleeping soundly on the bed, Shen Quji's heart suddenly ached, as if someone had pinched the softest flesh of his heart with an awl.

Ruyi bent her knees politely to Shen Quji, and replied in a low voice: "Miss took Miss Jintian to play in the back garden, and accidentally slipped and fell when they went to the Fusu Pavilion to shelter from the rain..."

……

I don't know if it's Wei Changan's slow response to pain or what's going on, but after she woke up, she clearly felt the pain from her ankle, accompanied by bursts of swollen, numb and itchy sensations, Wei Changan suddenly thought cry.

As soon as she moved her numb leg, the pain in her ankle immediately spread to her heart very clearly along the meridians, causing her to gasp with a "hiss" from the pain.

When Shen Quji opened the door and came in, what he saw was Wei Changan lying on the bed, looking at her aggrievedly with mist in his beautiful eyes.

Shen Quji's heartbeat missed half a beat.

Seeing Shen Quji come in with a medicine bowl in his hand, Wei Changan hastily put away his pained and anxious look, changed into a calm expression, and smiled at Shen Quji: "Are you finished? "

This appearance of Wei Chang'an made Shen Quji's heart ache sharply. She came to the edge of the bed and sat down expressionlessly, her eyes were dark, with an indescribable cold light: "... how do you feel?"

The smile on Wei Changan's face gradually cooled down, she lowered her eyelids and stopped looking at Shen Quji, and her words were also clear, without any ups and downs: "It's much better, please worry about it."

"Since you're much better, get up and take the medicine." Shen Quji put the medicine bowl on the bedside stool, leaned slightly into the bed, passed over Wei Changan, and stretched out his long arms to grab a pillow: " Come on, lean up first."

As she spoke, she stretched out her hand to support the back of Wei Changan's neck, and with a little force in her hand, she placed the pillow on Wei Changan's back shoulder.

Shen Quji's hands carried a warmth that was completely different from this person's icy temperament. Wei Changan moved his neck lightly, and the back of his neck touched by Shen Quji felt a burning sensation, as if it was the residual warmth left by his palms. .

"Don't move around." Shen Quji scooped up a spoonful of decoction, felt it with his thin lips, and then handed the bowl of medicine to Wei Changan's mouth. Although his expression was stern, his voice was gentle: "It's not hot." Yes, let's drink."

Wei Changan still lowered his eyelids, and directly drank the medicine from Shen Quji's hand.

"...Enough is enough." Seeing Wei Changan's expression that he would rather die than live, Shen Quji withdrew the half of the medicine he drank.

As soon as the medicine bowl left Wei Changan's mouth, she lay on the edge of the bed and retched, but accidentally pulled her ankle again, and Wei Changan's eyes uncontrollably burst into tears.

Shen Quji poured water to ask Wei Changan to rinse his mouth, but Wei Changan waved his hand and refused.

Maybe it was because of retching while lying on the edge of the bed, Wei Changan only felt her head swell and ache. When she closed her eyes, she clearly felt a whirl of dizziness.

Wei Changan leaned back weakly and sighed, why did all the bad luck happen to her?

There was a faint sound of an announcement, and Wei Changan raised his hand to grab Shen Quji's forearm, and drove him out with a voice like a mosquito: "It's late at night, you go back and rest, and when you leave, please help me say good luck Just come in, thank you."

After hearing what Wei Changan said, Shen Quji sat on the edge of the bed with a water glass in his hand and sat silent for a long time, no, maybe he hesitated for a long time, so long that Wei Changan wondered if Shen Quji hadn't heard her just now.

In the end, Shen Quji lowered his voice, covering up the restraint and forbearance in his emotions: "Then, then you should rest early, I'm leaving."

After Shen Quji left, Wei Changan's vision gradually blurred.

Shen Quji, since we can't be a real couple, please don't get along like a real couple.

/ / /

Shen Dongren's house on Chengbei East Street, directly opposite the Shen family, was thrown into a prison by the government for a long time because of kidnapping. Shen Dongren's son, Shen Lili, was sent back through the small door for servants in the kitchen.

Looking at the eldest son with disheveled hair, rough cloth clothes and rotten shoes, Shen Luoshi stood under the corridor and snorted coldly, "Useless things."

On the contrary, Shen Cai, Shen Li's wife, saw her husband who was finally fished out of the prison, she threw herself on Shen Li without hesitation, and burst into tears of grievance.

Shen Li kicked Shen Cai away impatiently, slightly arched his hands to his father Shen Dongren under the corridor, and after spitting at Shen Cai who was kicked to the ground by him, he went to his yard cursing. up.

After Shen Li left, his eldest son Shen Cong gritted his teeth and left angrily. His second son Shen Zhong silently stepped forward to help his crying mother and walked in another direction without saying a word.

After Shen Cong left with a shake of his hands, he immediately made an appointment with a group of friends, and came to Chunfeng to eat wine and have fun by mistake.

As soon as Shen Congfu entered the door, Yingying Yanyan surrounded him. When Shen Cong walked upstairs with hugs from left to right, he saw someone he seemed to know, so he settled a group of friends, and walked towards the familiar person alone. People walked past.

Feng Bancheng did not come to Spring Breeze for entertainment, he just used the pretext of inviting the shopkeepers of Feng's shops in Hezhou to come out to play and inquire about Shen Quji.

The Shen Quji that Feng Bancheng had inquired about were all very clean. Whether it was in business or in life, except for the one-night fling with the top card Taoyao, Shen Quji had such a good reputation that he had nothing to say.

The old fox Feng Bancheng didn't believe it. Shen Quji was a businessman. In the Dachao Kingdom, as long as he was a businessman, no one's hands could be clean. Feng Bancheng thought that it was necessary for him to meet that Taoyao in person. Seductress.

In the end, he tossed a hundred gold, but only got a profit from the bustard who said "our girl is not here today".

Feng Bancheng was not annoyed either, when he was about to throw a hundred gold again, a man with short stature and dark skin stopped him.

"Your Excellency doesn't know something," the man bowed his hands to Feng Bancheng respectfully, "Miss Taoyao has left Hezhou City since the last time she had a fling with the young master of the Shen family..." The man approached Feng Bancheng as he spoke, and said in a low voice: " Rumor has it that the Patriarch of the Shen family forced it, but I don't know why, heh."

Feng Bancheng turned his head to look at this person a few times, and also cupped his hands: "Thank you for letting me know."

"We're all in the same family, so why be polite!" The man reported his family background amidst Feng Bancheng's doubts: "I met Shen Cong from the Shen family on North East Street, Chengcheng, Hezhou, and met Young Master Feng."

The folding fan in Feng Bancheng's hand was half closed, and there was a faint smile in his peach blossom eyes. He cupped his hands: "It turns out that they are relatives who went to Ji's family. Bancheng is polite."

……

The Patriarch of the Shen family said she was sick and ignored her business for a while, but this morning, Shen Lian called Shen Quji, Shen Qubing and Shen Jie to her.

For some reason, Shen Qubing's intuition told him that the aunt was about to let go.

Sure enough, as soon as the three brothers entered the door, they saw the aunt sitting behind the desk, and on the desk, several keys and three stacks of ledgers were neatly placed.

Shen Jie's eyelids were twitching uneasily, and his eldest brother's gentle voice sounded beside him.

His elder brother said: "I don't know what your mother ordered the children to come over?"

Shen Qubing secretly raised his eyelids to look at Shen Lian with his eyebrows lowered and nodding, only to see that the aunt pushed the three stacks of ledgers towards them one by one, and said calmly, "These are Linlang Pavilion, Tea House and The general accountant of the silk and satin village, go to get the Linlang Pavilion, and go to the sick and get the tea shop, Jieer, the silk and satin village is yours..."

As soon as Shen Lian finished speaking, Shen Quji and the three of them knelt down together.

A look of complexity flashed through Shen Qubing's dark eyes very quickly, and he cupped his hands towards Shen Lian: "What's the meaning, aunt?"

Shen Lian ignored Shen Qubing's question, and instructed himself: "For the business of Qubing in the tea house, you must first discuss with the shopkeeper Zhu, then ask your father's opinion, and come to the same office after making a final decision. I said, Shen Jie, you have been messing around at home before, and you are about to reach the crown, so you should learn how to do business from the shopkeeper Zhou of the silk and satin shop, and if you don't understand anything, you can come back and ask me."

Shen Quji, who had been silent all this time, finally figured out his mother's intentions. Mother and her old man didn't want to let go and hand over all the business to them, but to challenge the conflicts in advance when she was still capable and able to live. Get up, so that she can solve it in advance, and minimize the losses that the Shen family may face.

The corners of Shen Quji's eyes were bent, and the corner of his mouth curled into a faint smile, full of sarcasm.

In the end, Shen Qubing and Shen Jie left with a stack of books each, and Shen Quji was left alone by Shen Lian.

No.: Feng Family (3)

Shen Quji began to learn wine from his grandfather Shen Xiren at the age of eight, and learned business from his mother at the age of 14. He took over all the power of the Shen Family Winery and Huaibilou on his own. At the age of 20, he also managed part of the business of the Shen Family Tea House. He is now 22 years old But he has never been in contact with the jewelry pavilion that his mother personally manages—Linlang Pavilion.

Although Shen Lian has been taking care of Linlang Pavilion's daily life, she still has shopkeeper Zhu's loyal help for more than 20 years by her side. Shen Quji came to Linlang Pavilion this time to see shopkeeper Zhu.

Shopkeeper Zhu is the number one old man in Shen's shop, and his weight in Linlang Pavilion is definitely more important than that of Shen Quji, so when Shen Quji saw shopkeeper Zhu, he graciously bowed to shopkeeper Zhu , respectfully shouted "Weng Weng" as usual.

Shopkeeper Zhu didn't play tricks with Shen Quji either, he actually received a salute from Shen Quji, and then handed Shen Quji into the Langya Pavilion...

In the end, when Shen Qujiu left, he inadvertently glanced at the container, and stopped without hesitation.

Sending away the young master's house, shopkeeper Zhu immediately went back to the Houge to write a letter, and ordered a clever guy in the pavilion to send it to the Shen's house.

After Shen Quji returned home, the housekeeper Shen Fu directly invited his grandfather Shen Xiren to come here.

After entering the door, Shen Quji wondered calmly—why are all the family members here?

Looking at the faces of the people in the room, Shen Quji immediately understood - what grandfather Ding did, violated his mother's wishes, and involved her younger sister Yu Nian, that's why his mother called the whole family to him Together.

"Weng Weng, Mother, Uncle Sheng." Shen Quji bowed his hands to the elders in the room one by one, and also gave a little salute to Aunt Fuqu behind his mother, and then asked his mother gently, "What happened? How did you find Chang An?"

Shen Lian's usually indifferent face was still sullen, she snorted heavily, and turned her eyes to somewhere aside: "You Weng Weng drank too much wine with others, and you told your sister to Master Bao's grandson in a few words. !"

At this time, Wei Chang'an saw that the corners of Shen Yunian's eyes, who had always been cheerful as if he didn't care about anything, were faintly flickering with tears.

Shen Quji's brows were unconsciously frowned once again, and his cold eyes swept over everyone in the room one by one, but all he saw was the word "each with his own mind". To be honest, Shen Quji's My heart is very irritable.

But no matter what, as a junior, Shen Quji can only see what his mother decides for the time being, and then he can act according to his mother's orders. Dare to go against her will.

Except for the worried faces of "son" and "daughter-in-law", as far as Shen Lian looked, everyone in the room was watching from the sidelines coldly. Shen Lian pinched his brows, she probably had already forgotten what it was like to be home.

"Father, you were poor for the first 40 years. Since then, you have been an old man who opened his mouth and stretched out his hands for nearly 30 years." Shen Lian's face was deep, as if he was remembering something, and there was a flash of pain in his eyes: "My Shen family also has a big family and a big business. I want to know, what kind of interests can drive you to sell your daughter to me without asking who you belong to?"

Shen Xiren's originally tense heartstrings were broken by his daughter Shen Lian with a bang, and he simply angrily swept the purple sand teacup in his hand "dangdang" onto the beech-wood floor, his voice was stern, and his eyes dodged: "It's a joke! Where is it?" What kind of 'benefits' come here! In the whole world, any marriage between a child and a daughter is the order of the parents and the words of the matchmaker. Yu Nian is my own granddaughter, and I have the right to marry her!"

In the roar of his grandfather's bravado, Shen Quji suddenly remembered who the grandson of Master Bao was—probably about the same age as Shen Jie, but better at drinking than Shen Jie. That child has paid off his gambling debts. Such a person is absolutely not worthy of her sister.

Shen Yunian leaned on Wei Changan's shoulder, and his sobs turned into loud tears. Just as Shen Lian wanted to tell his daughter to shut up, Shen Shusheng, who had been sitting beside him, spoke.

He asked Shen Quji: "Your cousin of the Feng family came to our house this time, did you tell us all about your visit?"

Hearing the word "Feng's family", Aunt Zhang, who was standing behind Shen Qubing, immediately looked at her young master with her eyes shining brightly.

The young master of her family looked at the Patriarch hesitantly, and then replied: "Cousin Feng said he has two goals, one is our family's wine shop in the capital, and the other is his sister Qingcheng's marriage."

Shen Shusheng smacked his lips, scratched his eyebrows and asked, "The result? How did you reply to him?"

Shen Quji: "There is no room for negotiation about merging the liquor store, Qingcheng's marriage..." Speaking of this, Shen Quji glanced at Wei Changan intentionally or unintentionally: "I told my cousin Feng's family that there are two more in the Shen family. The young lady's vacancy is for her to choose."

After hearing this, Aunt Zhang's complexion suddenly turned dark, she didn't care much, she walked up to Shen Quji in two steps, and asked: "Master, hasn't Miss Feng's Biao already agreed with my family Qubing? How can you let the third child get involved again!"

Shen Xiren was in a fit of anger, and finally took the cigarette bag and yelled in a low voice: "Presumptuous! Mrs. Zhang, is this something you can say to the young master?"

Aunt Zhang trembled, she fell silent for a moment, and was pulled back behind her by her son Shen Qubing.

Aunt Qin stood behind her son Shen Jie, no matter how she thought she was the biggest beneficiary, the corners of her mouth could not be restrained.

Shen Shusheng propped up his forehead, turned his big black and white eyeballs, and said, "Quji, you are wrong. Your cousin from the Feng family came to Hezhou this time, and the ultimate purpose may be to run after your younger sister Yu Nian."

In a word, wake up all the players in the game.

Shen Yunian is the same age as Shen Quji, twenty-two years old this year, four years ago, he went to live with the Chu family in the capital because he was studying piano art, and during that time he was taken care of by the young master of the Feng family. At the same time, because Shen Quji had never married, No one in the Shen family thought about Yu Nian's marriage, and whenever someone came to matchmaking for Yu Nian, Shen Lian always turned them back with the excuse that "her brother hasn't married yet".

After the old ancestor passed away, Shen Lian couldn't get out of his sorrow for a while, and even forgot about his daughter's getting married at an advanced age, so he was taken advantage of by those who wanted to make such a farce.

Shen Lian straightened out his thoughts, and before he had time to ask what he wanted to ask, he heard Shen Yunian crying and yelling, "Marry, marry, I am willing to marry my cousin from half a city, I am willing to woo woo, I don't want Marry the drunkard grandson that grandpa said..."

Probably Shen Yunian took the word "drunkard" too seriously. Shen Jie, who always loves to drink, couldn't help but raise his eyebrows. Well, what's the matter, are all drinkers so disgusting?

Shen Lian was disturbed by his daughter's words, so he changed his words and told everyone: "Let's do this first. Tomorrow, go to Bingjieer, you two will bring a generous gift, and go to Master Bao in Shibalipu in person, and tell them the situation." Explained, apologize if you need to apologize, be tough if you need to be tough, in short, let me settle this matter, go and ask your cousin out in person, and check him out, Uncle Sheng, just work hard, go Go to the capital and secretly find out the recent situation of Feng Chu's family."

Shen Lian has always been straightforward in doing things.

When everyone left Mrs. Shen's place, the head of the family, Shen Lian, was still scolding the old Mrs. Shen Xiren. Shen Lian had a big temper and was used to controlling her. Dumb, talking nonsense and ignoring him, or humming and talking about him.

Wei Changan's feet could not touch the ground yet, Shen Quji hesitated for a moment, and finally decided to walk back with her on his back.

Hezhou, where there is a layer of autumn rain and a layer of coolness, has lost the heat of the previous few days when the scorching sun was in the sky. Now it is less than two quarters before Shen Shi, and the air is already covered with a slight coolness. Wei Changan is lying on Shen Quji's bed. On the back, the feet that were not sprained swayed as Shen Quji walked.

"The other day, someone came to the house and told me that you were unconscious from drinking, and that Shen Pan asked him to come home and call me to get you back." Wei Changan stared down at the swaying sapphire pendant on Shen Quji's waist. The words that he hesitated for a long time are becoming more and more suspicious now.

"Do you know who that person is?" Shen Quji supported Wei Changan's knees, taking every step steadily and carefully, as if what Wei Changan was talking about was just a small matter for small talk.

Wei Chang'an rested his chin on Shen Quji's shoulder, feeling a little flustered, she thought for a while, and said, "He said he was Chunfeng's servant, and I didn't remember his appearance, hey, the main reason is that People are too featureless."

Shen Quji smiled: "Then what kind of talent is unique?"

"You." Wei Chang'an answered crisply, with thick eyebrows and big eyes, but with a somewhat delicate appearance, obviously a veteran in the business field, but the roots of his ears turn red at every turn, what a characteristic!

Shen Quji didn't say a word, and the base of his ears quietly climbed up again with a layer of red.

That night, Shen Yunian had a convulsion and insisted on sleeping with Wei Changan, saying that he had something to whisper to his sister-in-law.

Shen Quji nodded without saying anything.

Shen Yunian felt that Shen Quji, who had always been thinking about it, agreed to her so readily this time that it should be the same as usual - there was a trap, so she looked suspiciously at Shen Quji who was standing in front of the multi-object shelf, Before opening his mouth tentatively, Shen Pan knocked on the door outside.

Shen Pan: "Eldest Young Master, the Patriarch invites you to the main courtyard."

Shen Quji returned to Shen Pan and said "Got it", then turned to look at Shen Yunian, her eyes were half downcast, her face expressionless: "I'll go straight to the study when I come back, but you don't sleep well , be careful at night, don't accidentally hurt her feet again."

Shen Yunian made a big grimace at Shen Quji, then turned around the curtain and walked inside in shock.

/ / /

Ever since her grandmother passed away, Shen Lian's mind always seemed to be missing something, not to mention that she didn't have the time to think about things as carefully as before, and even her good memory that she was proud of had deteriorated. If it doesn't work, it hurts, and she also fell ill.

Now that her illness has not recovered quickly, her selfish father who only thinks about himself has "sold" Yu Nian for a pot.

Shen Lian's head hurt like a prick, and when Dr. Dong gave her the needle, Shen Lian immediately called his son Shen Qu over.

After Shen Quji came in, Shen Lian waved away a group of servant girls, and even Fu Que who was beside her was pushed out by her, she didn't speak, just looked at Shen Qu quietly not far or near disease.

The master bedroom is brightly lit. I don't know if it's because the eye sockets are deep or because the eyelashes are too thick and long. The orange candlelight casts a shadow under Shen Quji's eyes, and Shen Quji's face is expressionless. In a trance, Lian saw the shadow of an old friend on Shen Quji's body.

"...It was tricked." After a long time, Shen Lian leaned against the head of the bed, sighed and said, "Shen Jie, Shen Qubing, Wen Pengju, Taoyao, your grandfather, and Qingcheng... have all been killed by others." Be a pawn." And Shen Shusheng, Shen Lian knows exactly what kind of person he is, but with his brains alone, he will never be able to say those words that can wake everyone up today!

Shen Quji sat on the stool beside the bed with his hands folded, his eyes fell on the dressing table in front of the window, his expression was faint, and his tone was calm: "Mother, if you are sure, let mother arrange it."

"Taoyao knows your identity, so she can no longer stay in Hezhou, even incognito." Shen Lian squeezed his brows, "...It stands to reason that Qingcheng is the most suitable person for you, but the world is playing tricks and people run away. If you don't let fate go, since that's the case, you can't let others delay you for nothing."

Shen Lian cupped his hands and said: "My son will arrange for Taoyao to leave, and will handle the two matters of Qingcheng and Yu Nian properly, please rest assured."

That one-night "flirting" did not expect Taoyao to be far away from her hometown, and her mother never left any troubles in her work, so some emotions in Shen Quji's heart were faintly buried.

After listening to Shen Quji's words, Shen Lian was silent for a while, and after a while, she asked gently: "Quji, your identity, your wife...does she know?"

"...She doesn't know." Shen Quji lowered his head slightly, hiding everything in his eyes.

How dare she let Wei Changan know her identity and thoughts?

After all, she doesn't have the guts—she alone knows about this love, experiences it, bears it, and suffers it alone. In the end, it's enough to remember it alone. Even being able to use the identity of "Shen Quji" to guard her for a year or two is considered considered This life is not in vain, why bother other people's purity for no reason?

Shen Lian shook her head, with tears in her eyes, she looked at Shen Quji for a long time, and said, "You really resemble that person."

The author has something to say: The name "Weng Weng" is the "grandpa" we call now

No.: Feng Family (4)

Shen Quji returned to the study from the back door of Xinyixuan, Shen Pan had already ordered someone to make the bed in the study compartment, Shen Quji felt depressed, so he simply drove Shen Pan back to sleep.

There was a window that was only half open and was not properly fastened. The night wind blew the window sash and creaked. Shen Qu hurried to close the window, but just in time to see a dimly lit lamp in the main house.

It's this hour and the lights have not been turned off, does Shen Yunian have so many things to say to Wei Changan?

Shen Quji frowned subconsciously, silently, she nodded slightly, and took out something wrapped in brocade from her sleeve.

It is a white jade hairpin.

It was engraved with a pattern of white magnolia, simple and unpretentious but pleasing to the eye. Shen Quji took the hairpin and looked at it for a while, and finally wrapped it up, treasured it and carefully put it away in the dark compartment of the study.

The hidden compartment is located behind a landscape painting, and there are already many kinds of beautiful jewelry and accessories in it, all of which were bought by Shen Quji over the years, but only Shen Quji knows who he bought it for.

Putting away the hairpin, locking the hidden compartment, Shen Quji looked at the splash-ink landscape painting in front of him, and the corners of his cool mouth curled up, and he suddenly laughed—what was he doing? ——Knowing that I will not give away anything, but I will buy back whenever I see something suitable, what am I secretly looking forward to?Do you hope that others will one day know her ugly mind?

No, no, no, she dare not bet.

Getting to this point is already impulsive regardless of the consequences, but sometimes it is really impossible to test right and wrong by making mistakes.

Before the end, every step will be a variable.

Shen Quji closed his eyes, and suddenly felt some grievances in his heart—that stinky girl Shen Yunian could tell Wei Changan when she had something in her heart, so what about Shen Quji?

Who can she tell her full of words?

——He, Shen Quji, is the young master of the Shen family, half of the pillar of the family, and for this, all Shen Quji's words can only turn into dumb in the end, and leave with a sigh.

Unlike Shen Quji who was alone and only endured silently, the whispers in the boudoir in the main house were talking and laughing, but most of the time it was sister-in-law Shen Yunian who was talking and sister-in-law Wei Changan who was listening.

I don't know how long it took, when the candle by the bed burned down by two-thirds, Shen Yunian fell asleep peacefully amidst memories of his childhood.

Wei Changan closed his eyes, and what Yu Nian told her once seemed to have formed a shape in her mind, and could be played out one by one as she organized——

The young and lonely Yu Nian wants to raise a bird to accompany her, but her mother disagrees, so she pesters her twin brother for the bird.

In the study room, the elder brother Xiao Jinnian, who was concentrating on reading with a book in his hand, was finally overwhelmed by the annoyance, and agreed to his sister's request on a bright sunset evening.

So brother Xiao Jinnian struggled to climb up a big tree in the yard, intending to dig out a bird's nest to catch a baby bird for his sister, but when the big bird came back to the nest, his brother was pecked by the big bird and jumped out of the tree. He fell down, and in the end, his brother Xiao Jinnian was punished by his mother to kneel in front of his father's memorial tablet and think about it.

In the middle of the night, the younger sister, who was worried about her brother, secretly came to the small ancestral hall to accompany her brother. As a result, she was hungry, so her brother took the tribute from the altar table and gave her to eat. Later, the unlucky mother found out again, and the mother beat her brother in a rage Xiaojin's twentieth rattan...

The memories of the rest of the year came alive in Wei Changan's mind one after another. Wei Changan's heart seemed to have been torn open, and some sour liquid flowed out silently, soaking her heart, making her unable to breathe. sleep peacefully.

The next day, Shen Quji asked Feng Bancheng to meet outside, and Shen Yunian followed secretly on the grounds of "taking Jinnian out to play".

Doctor Dong had just replaced Wei Changan's ankle with herbal medicine for external use. Not long after, the housekeeper Shen Fu came to report, saying that the second young master of the Wen family had posted a post.

Wen Pengju and Shen Quji have been good friends for many years. Not only are they the same age, but they also studied in the state school together. Later, Shen Quji went home to help his mother manage the business, while Wen Pengju passed the exam. Not a small amount of fame, and now he is eating the imperial salary in the state government.

But Wenpeng came to Shen's house this time, but he didn't really want to find his friend Shen Quji.

"Brother Pengju, why are you here?" Wei Changan sat under the grape arbor in the courtyard, with his eyebrows curved and smiling: "Come and sit down, auspicious, and serve tea."

"Yes." Jixiang responded and poured tea for Wen Pengju.

Wen Pengju sat opposite Wei Changan, closed the plain folding fan in his hand, and smiled just right on his face: "I have something to worry about today, and he's not here, so I'll stop by to see you... I heard you sprained your ankle? "

"It's okay," Wei Chang'an pushed the pastry on the stone table towards Wen Pengju, motioning him to try it, and then said: "It was raining that day, and my feet were slippery, and I accidentally stepped on the cool stone under the pavilion. I slipped and fell, it's okay."

Wen Peng raised his head, no wonder, it turned out to be like this——

The cool stone under the Fusu gazebo in the backyard of the Shen family is actually a cold jade bought from Yunzhou, the southernmost point of Dachao Kingdom. The burner knocked out all those cold jades and replaced them with other things without saying a word. After a long time, it turned out that the cold jades were slippery and fell to Wei Changan.

Wei Changan didn't know that the cool stones under the Fusu gazebo in the backyard had been replaced, so she was quite happy today, so she chatted a lot with her cousin Wen Pengju.

As soon as Shen Quji came back, Shen Fu reported that Mr. Wen had been here for a long time, and now he was accompanied by the young lady, waiting for the young master in Xinyixuan.

Sometimes people's emotions can't be suppressed, Shen Quji clearly knew Wen Pengju's true intention of coming, but he couldn't tell what it was like in his heart for a while.

As soon as Shen Quji walked to the door of Xinyixuan, he heard the chatter and laughter coming from the yard. It was Wei Changan and Wen Pengju——Listening to the two people talking and laughing, Shen Quji knew how to react. But her heart was still blocked and resentful.

But there is no reason to let any emotion show.

The tall and tall man just stood outside the gate of Xinyixuan for a while, and finally led Shen Pan to leave quietly. From the beginning to the end, he never disturbed the people chatting in the yard at all, and he was silent. Like the spring and autumn of the past several years, silent and unknown.

In the evening, Shen Qubing, who had rushed back from Shibalipu, and Shen Jie came to the big study together to look for his elder brother Shen Quji.

As soon as Shen Jie entered the door, he sat down on the chair. Without any explanation, he poured himself two large cups of herbal tea first, then smacked his lips and said triumphantly: "Second brother and I sing together/the red face and the white face, both hard and soft Successfully took back the freedom of the eldest sister!"

"That Master Bao is greedy enough." Shen Qubing also slumped into the chair in a disconcerting manner, and leaned back in the chair weakly: "He has eaten, drank and enjoyed himself all over again, but he still wants to start again." Our family reaped benefits from cooking pots, but in the end it was Shen Jie who forced the old boy down to let him go."

Shen Jie wailed, and complained: "I really don't know how the old man and such a person called brothers and pissed in the same pot!"

Shen Quji stopped the accounts he was doing, and looked down at the abacus beads on his left hand that had been pulled up and down. Her voice was low, as if it didn't come from her mouth. She said: "Like attracts people." Divide into groups."

"Hey brother, how did you talk with the young master of the Feng family today?" Shen Qubing leaned over and sat up from his chair: "We met him on the way when we just came back, he and Shen Cong were together, Near Shen Cong's shop."

Shen Quji lowered her eyelids, and her original thick eyebrows and big eyes really looked a little more delicate at this moment. She raised her hand and gently put the abacus beads back to their original positions one by one, her voice lowered: " People are divided into eighteen streams, the upper nine streams are people, the lower nine streams are tools, and the merchants are not among the streams."

Shen Qubing understood his elder brother's words, he narrowed his eyes knowingly and nodded—it was all messed up in a quagmire, no one should be arrogant, and no one should think the other dirty.

Shen Jie frowned and scratched his head, then scratched his head again, and finally called out: "Big brother, what do you mean? Second brother, what did you hear?!"

...Poor Shen Jie.
