peach smile

Both things are equally valuable, and there is no distinction between the better and the worse. "

"Then I want your jade pendant." Wei Changan stuffed the jade hairpin into Shen Qujiu's hand, and looked at her with big watery eyes without blinking.

At this moment, Shen Quji felt that between her and Chang'an, there had never been those harsh and hurtful words, and he had never been burdened with those breathless heaviness, and he was not dirty and unworthy of Wei Changan. People, even she can simply accompany Wei Changan without any worries.

In an instant, the world is old.

"You can keep the hairpin. As for my jade pendant, if you want it..." Shen Quji returned the hairpin to Wei Changan, then lowered his head and untied the carp jade pendant that had been worn for 12 years at his waist, and put it gently on the Wei Changan's hand: "Here, take it."

"Shen, you are so kind!" Wei Changan held the carp jade pendant, feeling its warmth.

Well, it really resembles its owner—not to mention being gentle and low-key, but there is a touch of playfulness in the middle of the dignified and dignified, which makes people feel very close, but there is a cool chill all over it, which makes people unpredictable through.

Shen Quji smiled lowly: "What's good about me, if you want something in the future, just tell me, I..."

At this point, Shen Quji suddenly stopped talking—because in his mind, what Chang An said when he was chatting with brother Pengju, when Yu Nian rushed to him angrily—

Yu Nian questioned her: "I know what you mean by looking for Wen Peng at this time. Shen Jinnian, you are a dignified young master of the Shen family. You dare not talk about love, dare not ask for it, dare not fight for it. If something happens to your sister-in-law, you are inseparable." It's fine to stay with her, but you are so lucky that you even pushed her to other men. Women are most easily moved when they are sick. If sister-in-law falls in love with Wen Pengju instead, tell me, what will you do?! Do you want to hide alone and cry secretly, secretly sad like you did when you were a child?!"

what to do?She Shen Quji didn't want to see this!He would never even watch Wei Changan wear a fiery wedding gown and marry someone else with his own eyes!But she also knows that when Chang'an leaves her in the future, the only person who can give Chang'an peace and stability is Wen Pengju, who has admired Chang'an for many years...

"I heard everything." Wei Changan suddenly raised his head to look at Shen Quji, and said a word without thinking, interrupting Shen Quji's thoughts.

"What?" Shen Quji restrained his thoughts, frowned slightly again, and looked at the person sitting on the stool next to him with clear eyes: "What did you hear?"

Wei Changan put his elbows on the table, held the jade pendant in one hand, and straightened the blue tassels on the jade pendant with the other. He tilted his head slightly with a calm expression: "After I was rescued from the hillside by you, in the carriage, you hugged me I heard everything I said..."

Shen Quji blinked, and his pretty eyebrows unconsciously twitched even tighter——I was really scared at the time, so what did I say while hugging Wei Changan, whose face was covered in blood, in the carriage?

Suddenly, the corners of Shen Quji's eyes twitched - she remembered, the things she wanted to say to Wei Changan, but they were always things that she kept secret before.

I made this promise out of desperation at the time, but to put it bluntly, it was just a matter of following my heart!

But when he calmed down, Shen Quji found that those words that he wanted to say several times had become somewhat difficult to say because of the entanglement of time.

"What's your expression?" Seeing Shen Quji's anxious look, Wei Changan was full of joy: "You didn't tell me how much private money you hid, don't worry, I won't tell others."

There was a string in Shen Quji's heart, which was tightened to the tightest degree with a thud, and after a while, she heard her own voice resounding softly in the quiet room: "What did I say?"

"You said you wouldn't let me die, you said you still have something to say to me, as long as I'm fine, you must tell me those words," Wei Changan put the arranged jade pendant into his arms, seemingly Casually but pressingly asked: "I'm not dead now, so if you want to tell me something, just say it."

Shen Quji was stunned, and a moment later, just when Wei Changan thought that the man surnamed Shen was about to get up and run away again, a soothing but extremely complicated smile that Wei Changan had never seen before suddenly appeared on this man's face.

In such a smile, Wei Changan actually saw many emotions that he had never seen on Shen Qujiming's face - bitterness, frustration, entanglement, calmness, and finally, relief.

What is this man trying to say?Wei Changan's curiosity was immediately aroused, but for a moment, she was surrounded by a deep sense of heaviness. She, she seemed to regret bringing up this topic.

Shen Quji didn't give Wei Changan a chance to regret it.

She stood up, straightened her sleeves, and gave Wei Changan a big gift with a seriousness that was almost reverent.

Noticing something was wrong, Wei Changan subconsciously stood up and stood opposite Shen Quji.

"From now on, everything I say is true, if there is even a little bit of falsehood, there will be a thunderbolt that day." Shen Quji's expression was natural and calm, she looked at Wei Changan, her eyes were still clear:

"A certain, Shen Quji, formerly known as Jinnian, a native of Hezhou Chengbei, mother Shen Lian, biological father Chugong Zhongding, I am a daughter, I was raised by my mother as a son since I was a child, and when I was six years old, I was given a decoction. Now that I have become like this, I didn't want to lie to you, but I didn't get the chance to tell you the truth several times, so that it has been dragged on until now, so I..."

The following words were interrupted by Wei Changan who suddenly rushed over.

The expression on her face was almost calm, but her hands were frantically tugging at Shen Quji's skirt, and her whole body exuded a paranoid air: "You, you lied to me, right? Yes, you lied to me, my surname is Shen When did you learn to lie? You are obviously a man, you, I, I have seen you with a beard, you with an Adam's apple, you... yes, I have seen you with a shirtless shirt, how do you Could it be, could it be a man? You...you are obviously a man!"

Wei Changan finally tore open all the skirts of Shen Quji carelessly, exposing the man's entire chest.

Wei Chang'an pointed at Shen Quji's flat chest, with a smug smile on the corner of his mouth, and finally he was able to speak conclusively: "Shen Quji, you want to lie to me? Haha! You're still a little tender."

But Shen Quji was still calm and composed, only her half-drooped eyelids knew how much fear and cowardice was hidden in her deep eyes.

She took out a small key from her sleeve, and stuffed it into Wei Changan's hand pointing at her involuntarily: "In Xinyixuan, remove the footrest of the bed, the floor tile in the middle of the floor can be lifted. It’s open, there’s a hidden compartment under the floor tiles, and there’s a small box inside, and this is the key to the box.”

Wei Changan's hand holding the key began to tremble uncontrollably, and she was suddenly a little scared, even more scared than when Shen Quji told her to make peace.

She simply covered her ears, shook her head and said to herself: "If you don't listen, I won't listen, I can't hear, I can't even hear what you lied to me..."

Shen Quji grabbed Wei Changan's wrist and forced her to listen to his own words: "The money I have saved over the years is in the box, and it is stored in Hang Lung Bank. The certificate for withdrawing the money is the carp jade pendant for you. I haven’t made any specific statistics on how much I have saved, but it’s probably less than 1 taels, so you can use it in the future... Chang’an, I’ve entrusted you with all of my wealth and life—you want to sue the officials, so The crime of cheating sent me to the prison, or I should write and leave the book immediately, and expose me to others, or you can do whatever you want, I, I will be dealt with."

I don't know how long it took, when Shen Quji had finished speaking, when Wei Changan finally calmed down, and the room was dead silent for a long time, Shen Quji heard Wei Changan's extremely slow and light breathing in the sound of two breaths. whispered a smile.

She asked: "Shen Quji, what if I want you to die?"

The author has something to say: the word "some" means the human pronoun "I" in ancient Chinese

No.: Upside Down (2)

A dream of yellow beams turned upside down for six or seven years, but I dare not speak of love and love.

It turned out that after Changan knew her identity, he chose Heli, and chose to expose her false identity to the world and let her be sunk in Wushouhe. What Changan thought was to kill her—that’s right. Ah, what woman doesn't hate the person who lied to her after knowing that she has been cheated for many years?

Shen Quji nodded, with a slight smile on his eyes, as if he had expected this result, he bowed his head and said "yes", then turned and left silently.

For a moment, I was relieved, and when I turned around, my heart felt like a knife was twisted.

"Shen Quji!" Just as Shen Quji was about to reach out to pull the door, a sharp, almost desperate voice called out to her unexpectedly.

Shen Quji stopped, but he didn't dare to look back.

Wei Changan stared closely at the man's thin back, turned his hands back and groped frantically on the edge of the table, she suddenly lost the strength to stand up, she wanted to sit on the stool, but fell down with a "boom" for some reason on the ground.

When she opened her mouth, her voice was very calm, unexpectedly appearing rare and quiet.

She said: "Shen Quji, do you know what happens to a woman after she is divorced by her husband's family? Either she returns to her mother's family and is forced by her parents to remarry - a woman who has been divorced can only be a concubine. If you are small, you have to let others bully you.

Or, find a place that no one knows, find a subsistence job, and be alone for the rest of your life—if you are lucky, you can live in peace, but if you are unlucky, the thief who sneaked into the house at night will sleep, and you have to I can't say anything... Hehe, Shen Quji, which kind of life do you think would be better?You help me choose one. "

Shen Quji let out a few breaths, and after the dull pain in her heart subsided, she said at a moderate pace: "I still have a manor in Jiangnan, although it's not as beautiful as Jiangnan Shen's manor, but at least it's fine. To shelter from the wind and rain, there are still some house servants in the garden, there are maids and servants, so I can give them to you as well, as a place to live and live."

No one saw that Shen Quji's palm was bloodied by her own clenched fingers. Finally, she added: "Whenever you decide to leave, just tell me. If you don't want to see Me, just tell Shen Pan, I will let him give you the Heli book, and you don't have to worry about the rest, I will take care of it for you."

After a few rustling sounds, a stool was slammed over by someone, brushed against Shen Quji's side, hit the door with a "boom", and fell to the ground again.

The woman's hoarse voice also came over slowly: "Get the fuck out of here, I won't think of you anymore."

Shen Quji lowered his eyes halfway, opened the door, stepped over the threshold, and closed the door smoothly.

She stood at the door for a while, and then walked slowly to the corridor, where the servants slept during their daily night watch, leaning on the porch pillar, and fell to the ground as if exhausted.

She felt that her face was wet, and she raised her hand to wipe it away. It turned out that tears were streaming down her face at some point.

My sister Yu Nian is right. People like me dare not love, beg, or possess. Even if she hands over her love to others, she will at most just say something calmly to them. "You want? Take it."

Then what?Putting aside the identity of the gentle and dignified "Master of the Shen family", he turned around and hid in the darkness, weeping secretly and grieving secretly.

Even if others misunderstood her, even if others scolded her for being heartless, cowardly, cowardly, heartless, and heartless, she dared not explain a word.

Because the truest self has always been a shady person.

……

On the second day of February, the dragon raised its head. There is a custom in Hezhou to eat pancakes and worship the Dragon King in order to hope that the weather will be good and the grain will be abundant throughout the year. The Shen family makes wine and has many grain fields under its name. Therefore, worshiping the Dragon King has always been regarded as The highlight of the Shen family on February [-]nd.

The Shen family didn't care much about these things. In the first year, it was the old man who made the decision privately and went to worship the Dragon King in the name of the Shen family. Everyone who brews wine knows that there is no disrespect for wine, so since it started, The rest followed suit.

For this reason, the old master Shen Xiren sent someone to the manor two days in advance to urge Shen to go home quickly.

Old Mrs. Shen's urging was delayed by Shen Quji until February [-]nd, and it was only at the last minute that Shi Shiran left the manor.

As soon as Wei Changan left the house, he was invited into a soft sedan chair. The sedan chair was carried by four Shen family servants, and it came to the east gate of the manor smoothly.

After getting out of the soft sedan chair, Wei Changan only walked three or four steps before getting into the carriage again.

After she got into the spacious carriage, just as she sat firmly, Jixiang and Ruyi also pulled the curtain and sat in.

"My uncle let us in." Ruyi said timidly.

Jixiang didn't make a sound, just brought a blanket, leaned over and covered his lady's legs.

Wei Changan lowered his head to tuck himself in the blanket, and accidentally heard a faint voice coming from outside the carriage. It was him... no, it was her?

"...You can ask shopkeeper Duan to ask the second young master directly, you don't have to ask for my consent..." The man was talking to someone, his voice was hoarse and nasal, "Oh, that's not necessary, I'll talk to Shen Pan myself in a while..."

There was another sound of footsteps, from near to far, and finally disappeared. Wei Changan heard Shen Pan's voice chasing anxiously: "Young Master, it's cold today, you should put on a fur coat to keep out the cold..."

Someone came over to send a message to the coachman, saying that the young master let go. Immediately afterwards, Wei Changan heard the whip of the coachman urging the horse.

The horseshoes with the horseshoes stepped steadily on the bluestone slabs of the street, making a crisp and pleasant "da da" sound, and Wei Changan's calm eyes became deep and faint.

After the carriage ran for a while, Jixiang opened the window of the carriage by a small slit three fingers wide, and the cold wind of early spring howled in immediately. She held the curtain with one hand to prevent it from being blown around by the wind, and He took a sneak peek out of the car window.

"What are you looking at?" Ruyi has always been the most heartless little fat man.

Jixiang closed the car window tightly, pulled the curtain, and shook his head with his mouth closed—according to the past habit, every time the lady rode in a carriage, Shen Pan would ride a horse and follow her outside the car window. It is someone else who protects.

It seems that my uncle did not go with them.

... Feeling the increasingly strange aura of her young lady and Jixiang, Ruyi finally couldn't take it anymore.

"Miss, did you quarrel with uncle?" Ruyi asked angrily.

Wei Changan glanced at this cute little maid, but didn't answer.

"That's my uncle bullying you!" Ruyi straightened her back: "Miss, don't be afraid, let's tell the master and madam, they will support you!"

support?Wei Changan's brown eyes finally had a hint of reaction, and he no longer looked like a dumb doll.

She turned back and leaned against the corner of the carriage, raised the corners of her mouth, as if she wanted to laugh, but she lost all strength when the corners of her mouth raised halfway, and she simply pursed the corners of her mouth, with deep pear dimples on her lips.

After Shen Quji left that night, she sat on the ground for a long time without any waves, she didn't cry, she didn't feel any hatred, she didn't even have any emotions, she just sat quietly on the ground, I don't know what to think, and I don't know what to think.

Later, when she was sleepy, she simply lay down, curled up on the thick woolen rug, and fell asleep peacefully.

It's just that she doesn't sleep well.

Before the candles on the candlestick were burned to the end, she woke up peacefully after sleeping peacefully.

Probably because of a good night's sleep, her escaped thoughts and rationality finally came back slowly.

She was lying on the ground, pillowed on her arm, thinking wildly——

There is really no need for Shen Quji to lie to her. If what the surname Shen said is true, then she understands the reason why the surname Shen insists on reconciling, and also understands where the depression and restraint in the surname Shen come from. come.

How uncomfortable it is to love without daring to ask for it.

But the person surnamed Shen was actually a woman just like himself.

Heh, then what is my longing for all these years?Then what is his dependence on the surname Shen?

Do you want yourself to bond with that guy with Jinlan?

But for a moment, Wei Changan suddenly had a sense of enlightenment, or a feeling of a bright future, and even seemed to have some kind of unspeakable expectation and longing for the future.

But there is no doubt that she is angry-how can you tell her not to be angry!

The person I had been thinking about for so many years turned out to be a woman!

You don't know, that guy surnamed Shen has always been so good——

At the age of eight, Ji Kang personally praised the song "Yangchun Baixue". At the age of 11, he wrote a poem "You Leisure", which was praised by the great Confucianism of the dynasty.

Later, all the qin music, poems and Fu written by Shen Quji were sought after by the people of the time, but these were nothing. The more popular story of that guy was when he was 15 years old.

In the spring of the imperial examination that year, 15-year-old Shen Quji actually put the flamboyant answer sheet in front of the chief examiner after answering the exam paper, and proudly said "you don't want ten thousand households to be a marquis" when you are young, Then he swaggered out of the examination room.

According to the laws of the Dachao Kingdom, a person surnamed Shen who blasphemed the imperial examination room should have been sent to prison. For some reason, not only did the person surnamed Shen not go to prison, but he was also given a poem by the emperor at that time and now the late emperor. .

33 days of auspicious clouds, the reincarnation of the boy's birthday.

Originally came as a virtuous person from the Tian family, but was afraid of being called by the Jiuzhong Immortal Emperor.

An imperial poem stirred up waves, and people at the time even speculated—whether this Shen Quji has anything to do with the royal family, is it the royal family's illegitimate child?

As soon as the rumors came out, Shen Quji beat up the small yamen where the state and Taiwan adults had gossiped, and the Chu family in the capital came forward in person, announcing the whereabouts of Chu Zhongding, the second son of the Chu family, and the news of his death now—and this Shen Quji is the direct grandson of their Chu family living abroad...

Shen Quji——What an arrogant and arrogant young man, yet he still looks so handsome, and Wei Changan, who was young at that time, fell into it with just one glance.

When Shen Quji was 16 years old, 14-year-old Wei Chang'an finally appeared in that person's sight openly.

The man played the qin and she danced, immediately many people praised the two for being a good match, when Wei Changan found out that the grown up Shen Quji was such a dignified and gentle gentleman, she sank even deeper.

A missed years.

……

"...Miss, miss?" Ruyi called Wei Changan's thoughts back: "I'm home! Get out of the car!"

According to the etiquette, Wei Changan wanted to go to Mrs. Shen to greet him first, but was stopped by Shen Pan just in time.

Shen Pan seemed to come from somewhere in a hurry, panting heavily, and clasped hands with Wei Changan: "Eldest, eldest young lady, the old man took them, and has already taken the owner and the second young master to the Dragon King Temple. The Eldest Young Master is here, but, but the Eldest Young Master is unable to get away when Master Wen is visiting, so please ask the Elder Young Madam, on behalf of the Eldest Young Master, to entertain...to entertain the Eldest Master Wen!"

This time, Wei Chang'an completely understood Shen Quji's various intentions - that person was pushing her, Wei Chang'an, towards cousin Pengju with his own hands!

Wei Changan immediately came to Xin Yixuan Shen Quji's study angrily.

Shen Quji was standing behind the desk writing a painting, when the door was kicked open suddenly, she was startled, her hand shook, the thatched house between the distant mountains and near the water, the roof was stained black with ink.

The painter raised her eyes unhurriedly. When she saw the thin and small figure in the sunlight coming in from outside the door, the paintbrush in Shen Qujiu's hand fell onto the drawing paper, and the ink that was smudged was blurred. The stains completely ruined the thatched cottage that was outlined with a few strokes on the drawing paper.

"The surname is Shen, what do you mean!" Wei Changan walked in a few steps, and blocked Shen Quji's desk in an imposing manner: "You don't want me, and you try your best to find me a home. Oh, Young Master Shen, I didn't realize that you are really a kind person!"

Because Wei Changan said that he never wanted to see her again, Shen Quji immediately turned around. She turned her back to Wei Changan, bent the corners of her eyes, and hid all the reluctance in her eyes: "So, why are you saying that?" I mean, Lord Wen is here to look for me, I'm just, I'm just a little busy at the moment..."

Shen Quji hadn't finished speaking, but he couldn't say it anymore——Wei Changan hugged her from behind.

"You are really stupid," Shen Quji heard Wei Changan say, "Why can't you even tell a lie, I really don't know how you managed the family business so well!"

Wei Changan's face was buried in the back of Shen Quji's heart, which made Shen Quji feel that Wei Changan's voice seemed to come from his heart.

Her voice shook my heart, numb and itchy.

It took Shen Quji a long time to regain her thoughts and voice. She swallowed a few mouthfuls of saliva uncomfortably, and asked the people behind her stiffly: "You, what's wrong with you?"

Wei Changan took Shen Quji's arm, and easily turned the stiff man around.

She hugged Shen Quji, raised her face slightly, and put her chin on the man's heart, her charming appearance completely lost the anger she pretended just now: "I'm so mad at you that you don't even dare to say goodbye." Come to me, forget it, just tell me, if I still want to spend the rest of my life with you, do you want me?"

The person whose gaze fell on the landscape painting was silent for a moment, and then suddenly laughed lowly, his big beautiful eyes bent into crescent shapes.

"What are you laughing at?" Wei Changan asked, knocking the man's heart with his chin.

The person who laughed happily didn't answer her, but raised his hand to hold her in his arms, lowered his head, and placed a soft kiss on the corner of her lips.

At this moment, Wei Changan saw his bright smile in Shen Quji's dark and bright eyes.

If you are not strict with yourself, you are seeking benevolence and gaining benevolence.

……

Wen Pengju got up and left Shen's house after hearing the reply from Shen Quji's servant girl, Xin'er.

Heh, he didn't know what happened between Taohua and Shen Quji, but he wasn't so stupid that he couldn't see Shen Quji's intention to let him see Taohua several times!

Shen Quji is pushing his wife into another man's arms!

The more Wen Pengju thought about it, the angrier he became, and the more he thought about it, the angrier he got--that's a peach blossom!People who are pushed out by their own men are peach blossoms!He is the most beloved person who holds Wen Peng in his hand for fear of falling, and holds it in his mouth for fear of melting!

... But really, is it really just the person you love the most?

The author has something to say: When you are young, you don't expect thousands of households

——Revolutionary martyr Lin Juemin

Yes, it is Comrade Lin Juemin who wrote "Letter with Wife"

For a moment, I was relieved, and when I turned around, my heart felt like a knife was twisted.

——From the Internet

No.: Upside Down (3)

Sometimes, things don't have to be explained clearly one by one, because you will find that some things that tortured you to nowhere at that time turned out to be insignificant in the past, so that you can even put these things in the wind lightly. Joke lightly with others.

Jixiang Ruyi, who was guarding the door of the big study, saw his young lady come out, one thin and one fat had an expression of "thunder rolling" at the same time, but Jixiang was better, and soon returned to normal. Ruyi was left alone, dumbfounded.

Shen Pan, who has been with Shen Quji for 20 years, can be said to be someone who has seen the world. When he saw the young lady holding the young master's arm and coming out with a smile on her face, Shen Pan instantly became calm. It came down—well, his young master's elm head finally opened up, and people's hearts are very comforting, very comforting, very comforting.

But it was obvious that Young Master Shen, who had always been a gentleman, really couldn't flirt with others in broad daylight.

How decent is this!

"Are...are you shy?" Wei Changan held Shen Quji's arm without letting go, and muttered, "Oh, this is at your house, not on the street..."

Young Master Shen was unmoved.

"Don't move, let me pull you for a while..." Wei Changan slowly lowered his shoulders, his voice was a little weak: "It's fine in a while, let me pull you for a while."

"What's wrong with you? Are you uncomfortable?" Shen Quji has always been worried about Wei Changan, worried that she will have long-term sequelae, such as - amnesia.

She had heard Yu Nian talk too much about amnesia in the storybooks, and it was impossible not to worry. Although Dr. Dong laughed at her stupidity and explained to her that people are not so easy to lose memory, Shen Quji was still worried.

Wei Changan naturally didn't know what Shen Quji was thinking, she tugged at Shen Quji's sleeves, motioned for the person who was half a head taller than her to put his ears closer, and said in a low voice, "Because I was angry with you before, my stomach hurts now. .”

Shen Quji stopped, and Shen Pan and Ji Xiang consciously stopped not far behind them.

"Stomach pain?" Shen Quji frowned unconsciously: "I'm so angry that my stomach hurts? I asked Shen Pan to find Dong..."

Before the word "doctor" could be said, someone covered Shen Quji's mouth, and Wei Changan's fair cheeks were stained with a layer of blush for the first time.

Shen Quji, who was puzzled, heard Wei Changan moaning like a mosquito and said, "I just came... for a monthly diagnosis. Go back and drink some ginger syrup and it won't hurt. You don't need to find a doctor, you don't need to..."

Shen Quji raised his eyebrows, opened Wei Changan's hand covering his mouth, and cleared his throat uncomfortably: "Then, that's fine, let's go."

Unexpectedly, Wei Changan suddenly became interested, she hugged Shen Quji's forearm, followed her, and asked all the way in a low voice.

"Hey, the one surnamed Shen, you don't have it, you don't have it... forget it, don't you have a monthly report? Is it true?... If you ignore me, it seems that you don't have one. Alas, I really envy you, don't be forced to Monthly torture, you don't even know it..."

Yes, the young lady was dragged back to Xinyixuan by the young master covering her mouth...

/ / /

Wei Changan still couldn't believe the current situation——

My husband-in-law is actually a woman, but I just thought about it quietly all night, and finally accepted it calmly.

Not only that, after knowing Shen Quji's identity, I actually felt a little bit of luck - when I went to find Shen Quji and wanted to have a good talk with her, the guy who rejected her from the very beginning Unexpectedly, she didn't say anything hurtful again, and even opened her arms to her...

However, before Wei Changan could recover from this series of earth-shaking changes, the man surnamed Shen went out, because someone from the state government came to invite him, saying that the master of the state government invited Mr. Shen to pick the star building A narrative.

Before going out, Shen went to the cashier's room with a quick turn, and took six 500 taels of silver bills through the account, took three of them to himself, and handed the other three to Shen Pan.

The surname of the current Master of Taizhou is Zhao, who can avenge grievances for the people and will do things for the people. In the past few years since he took office, Hezhou City has been prosperous and stable under his rule-but it cannot be said that he is a Innocent officer.

But Shen Quji knew that in the eyes of Master Zhoutai, no matter how rich he was, he was just a businessman whose status was so low that he was even worse than a beggar.

Merchants are interested in profits, officials are famous, and the modest and gentle Young Master Shen is never afraid to use the businessman's unique sophistication and tact to achieve his goals.

She can say arrogant and arrogant words like "you don't want ten thousand households to become marquises when you are young", but she can also put down her figure and almost bow down to seek what she wants-no one is born willing to do this, it's just the way of the world, if you don't learn to bow your head, you will There is no way to look up.

Master Zhoutai also likes to associate with businessmen like the young master of the Shen family - Shen Quji is so treacherous!This kid is said to have become famous at a young age-but he is arrogant but not arrogant, he has read poetry and books and devoted himself to businessmen.

The nobility of books and ink and the worldliness of money and copper are perfectly combined in this kid.

Transparent, lively, talkative, good-sighted, full of face and face, better than his mother's management, and more generous than his mother, but he has a bottom line and principles in everything, loves money but is not greedy for money, and behaves well Fang Wenrun makes people feel like spring breeze, hey, call him Mr. Zhao, how can he not wait to see this kid who is used to wooing people?

Besides, Mr. Zhao asked Shen Quji to come out this time because of the accident of the carriage overturning.

The Shen family reported the incident to the authorities, and the masters of Zhoutai sent someone to check the wreckage of the wrecked carriage. Isn’t this a problem—the axles of the three carriages in the party at that time were tampered with, and the head of the Shen family’s Because the carriage walked slowly at the end, it was able to avoid this catastrophe.

Shen Quji almost exploded right away. At that time, Wei Changan was still in a coma. When he heard the reason why the carriage overturned from the head arrester who handled the case, Shen Quji, who had always been safe and gentle in his work, had the heart to dismember the murderer. Ten thousand paragraphs of violence.

However, before she could find a good excuse to convince herself to face the fact that she had already guessed, the gang of officials who were always quick to get money and slow to do things had already found out the truth.

Feng Qingcheng is the pampered eldest lady of a wealthy family in the capital. Although she has seen many big scenes, when the officials of the Hezhou prefecture appeared in front of her with shackles and chains, they didn't say anything. It's all recruited--

It was she who lured Shen Zhong in Wufo Temple to help her with color and profit. Originally, she wanted to secretly tamper with the carriages of the young lady of the Shen family, but ended up destroying all those carriages somehow—Feng Qingcheng also Unexpectedly!She doesn't want to do this either!She just wanted to make that spoiled and domineering woman Wei Changan suffer a bit...

The good fortune is embarrassing.

Master Zhao of Zhoutai originally wanted to deal with Shen and Feng's two families, so as to get more money and release them - after all, the interests of these rich families are intricate, and it's not that you can turn your face if you turn around, but Master Zhao Unexpectedly, the young master Shen, who had always been cautious in doing things, did not let go this time.

……

It's just a few rounds of pushing and changing cups, and the sun is already setting outside, and the cold moon is in the sky.

The red light hangs high in front of the door of Zhaixing Building, and high-end sedan cars are parked on both sides of the road, which is very impressive.

Just at the gate of the Zhaixing Building where there was a constant stream of pedestrians, after Shen Quji sent the drunk Master Zhao away, his feet went limp and he almost fell to the ground. Fortunately, Shen Pan behind him helped him in time.

"Eldest young master? Is there something wrong?" Shen Pan felt that his eldest young master might have eaten too much.

That's right, if you want to get things done in the hands of these officials and lords, you have to dare to give up your life to accompany the gentleman besides the money.

Pooh!Thinking of Master Zhao twisting his fingers at the Young Master, Shen Pan felt disgusted——Zhao Heixin is not a gentleman, he is a dog official!A dog official who will do things for whoever pays more money, a dog official who is obviously despicable and greedy but wants to pretend to be aloof!

"Tsk tsk, look at your little eyes..." Shen Quji couldn't stand still, half of his body weight was leaning on Shen Pan.

Shen Pan was not angry, and secretly glanced at the direction where Gao Xuan, Master of Zhoutai, disappeared, and spat hard in his heart.

Shen Quji looked at Shen Pan, who had a double image in front of him, and laughed softly: "Don't be upset in your heart. To be honest, our family is a merchant, and we have money. We are not afraid of officials who are greedy for money." , we are afraid that he does not love money."

As he said that, the man who was confused but articulate waved his sleeves, displaying the aura of a scholar with a heart for the world: "Of course, there is no one in the world who doesn't want to meet a real parent and official." However, do you know what the current officialdom of the Dachao Kingdom, which has been established for more than [-] years, looks like? Oh, corruption is promoted, corruption is investigated, corruption is investigated, and corruption is rarely clean. Being in a high position below one person and above ten thousand people, or..."

"Young Master, you're drunk! You're drunk!!" Shen Pan was so frightened that he hurriedly covered Shen Quji's mouth, and stuffed him into the carriage with two or three strokes.

Come on, his young master is really drunk this time!

Back in Xinyixuan, the person who was too drunk to find Bei managed to find Bei after seeing Wei Changan.

The main house of Xinyixuan faces south, Wei Changan came from the door to pick up Shen Quji, but saw the man surnamed Shen pointing at her, turned his head and recited Fu to the people around him.

"...beautiful women come from the north, peerless and independent, no matter how rare a beautiful woman is."

"Is this drunk?" Wei Changan ignored the drunk and crazy man next to him, and asked Shen Pan directly: "Why are you so crazy?"

Shen Panqing nodded sincerely: "Young master will only say something when he is really drunk, and say something that he wouldn't say normally."

Then it looks like he wasn't really drunk the last few times... This childish ghost!Wei Changan sighed, and asked his servants to help Shen Quji back to the house.

At this time, Shen Quji was well-behaved and obedient, she would do whatever Wei Changan asked her to do, but when Ruyi was ordered to bring a copper basin for Shen Quji to wash his face, her uncle who was sitting on the edge of the bed leaned forward, Slapped the whole face into the washbasin.

Water splashed everywhere, and everyone in the room was startled.

"What are you doing? Do you want to play with water?" Wei Changan stood by the bed, pulled the man's head out of the washbasin, wiped the water from her face, and laughed angrily, "Want to play?" If you want water, I will take you to sit in hot soup!"

The Shen family has a natural hot spring in the village on the mountain, and Yu Nian just happens to live there now.

"...Tao Hua, I miss you so much..." Shen Quji suddenly put his arms around Wei Changan's waist, buried his face in her stomach, and sighed softly.

Taohua, I miss you so much—when you were unconscious in my arms covered in blood, when you told me that you would never see me again, when Mr. Zhao tried his best to persuade me to give up pursuing responsibility During the Feng family, Taohua, I really miss you.

The maids and women in the room retreated out of the room, and Wei Chang'an saw that Mama Zheng, who had boiled the wine and soup, was smiling quite happily.

"Shen, what do you want me to do?" Wei Changan was infected by Zheng Ma's bright smile, and a faint smile appeared on the corners of his eyes and brows.

She stroked Shen Quji's blue hair, and suddenly felt an urge to loosen the manly bun on Shen Quji's head.

Shen Quji was confused in his mind and couldn't answer Wei Changan's question, so he loosened his arms around Wei Changan's waist, turned around and fell on the bed, closing his eyes to sleep.

Wei Changan shrugged his shoulders, kicked off his shoes after blowing out the light, and climbed into bed to sleep, hehe, you surnamed Shen, just keep your mouth shut!

……

The imperial capital thousands of miles away:

Feng Bancheng was not as comfortable as Shen Quji, who drank too much wine and lay down on the bed to sleep comfortably. He was drunk to [-] million, but he still had to drink with some officials and gentlemen who could maintain a good relationship in the largest flower building in the capital. , His goal has not been achieved yet, he still has to get that idiot Qingcheng out of the prison in Hezhou!

A middle-aged man with a friendly face raised his wine cup and called Brother Feng several times: "What are you thinking, huh? You can't even hear my brother calling you?"

"The villain is wrong, wrong, and this is an apology to Mr. Wang!" Feng Bancheng, who came back to his senses, hastily punished himself with three glasses of spirits, blushing as if he would be steaming in the next second: "Three glasses have been punished , I hope Lord Wang will not be offended?"

"Brother Feng, aren't you worried about that old man from the Yu family?" An adult surnamed Zhou raised his head from the soft mass of Hualou girl, and smiled triumphantly: "New grass hasn't grown on his daughter's grave yet. This old son-in-law came here with us to have fun, you said, if Mr. Yu finds out, what will happen to his face? Hahaha..."

There was a burst of laughter in the room.

Feng Bancheng also laughed: "What is a woman? If you don't have it, you can just change it. How about it, my lords, is the girl in your arms comfortable to use? If you are not satisfied, let's change it!"

As soon as Feng Bancheng finished speaking, there was a sound of a stool falling to the ground at the far end of the dining table.

Everyone followed the prestige and found that it was Mr. Wu who fell off the stool because of drunkenness for some reason.

Feng Bancheng's expression followed the crowd and laughed, and hurriedly helped Mr. Wu up himself, but in his heart he despised the officials and lords in the room to the extreme - ten years of studying hard in the cold window, and once eating the imperial food on the golden list, it was only a few years of eunuchs Ups and downs, these once high-spirited scholars have thrown all their grand plans and ambitions for the country and the people under the skirts of drunkenness, dreams, and pomegranates.

All beings are upside down.

Men, what they want all their lives is nothing more than power and money. Feng Bancheng feels that he is not greedy, because all he wants is money.

The ancestor of the Chu family used to be an official in the cabinet, and later turned into an imperial merchant. His uncle, Chu Boding, the eldest son of Chu, was famously fearful of internal affairs. His second uncle, Chu Zhongding, died young. Shu Ding was unbearable, his grandfather was getting older and older, the only direct grandchildren of the Chu family were three, two of them were still officials in the court, and only Shen Quji, who was not surnamed Chu, remained.

As long as Shen Quji, who grew up in Shen's family, is dealt with, Feng Bancheng feels that it is not impossible to swallow the Chu family's property.

Feng Bancheng has already made up his mind, since Shen Yunian is determined not to marry him, no matter what means he uses, he must let Shen Qujiu marry his only sister!must!

No.: Upside Down (4)

Not long after the day entered March, the peach tree in the backyard of the Shen family had pink and tender peach blossom buds. Shen Lian received another letter from the Chu family in the capital, written by Chu Wei, the third wife of the Chu family. of.

The letters sent across thousands of miles and across half of Dachao Kingdom are still inseparable from the lengthy and complicated words of those rich and powerful, but they are nothing more than telling the stories of these years, and then telling the story of some old people. Greetings one by one.

In the end, when Shen Lian was impatient to read it, at the end of the letter, Chu Weishi's intention to write the letter appeared with a few pens——

It is said that the health of the master of the Chu family is declining, and the Chu family is about to leave the stove. The Chu family all hope that the second master of the Chu family, that is, Shen Quji, can return to the Chu family for a while. As a filial father, he sent Master Chu off for the last time, and he also sorted out some things by the way, so as not to fall into the trap in the future.

Shen Lian knew best, but why did the Chu family want to go to the Chu family to fulfill their filial piety for their father? If they wanted to ask Qu Ji to perform their filial piety for their father, why did they go two years ago?Now that Qu Ji has shouldered most of the burden of the Shen family, the Chu family thinks about it and let Qu Ji go back, heh, it's a good idea.

However, due to emotion and reason, in the final analysis, Shen Lian is not the kind of person who can't distinguish between right and wrong. Coupled with Fu Que's soft-spoken persuasion, Shen Lian called Shen Quji halfway when Shen Quji came home in the evening. Went to the main courtyard.

……

Shen Quji returned home before the sun had completely set, but when she led Shen Pan back to Xinyixuan from her mother, there was already a solitary moon hanging high in the sky.

"You're back..." Hearing familiar footsteps, Wei Changan, who was sitting on the couch tinkering with embroidery, rolled his eyelids and glanced at Shen Quji: "Have you eaten yet?"

"...Never." Shen Qu quickly frowned, and sat down at the round table facing the warm collapse, his brows were always slightly frowned unconsciously.

Wei Changan put down the things in his hands, stretched his waist in a nonchalant manner, and then got off the couch, put on his shoes and sat down beside Shen Quji. She told Jixiang Ruyi: "Go to the small kitchen and put the Serve the food hot."

The most common food tasted different from the past. Shen Quji guessed who cooked it, and for a moment he thought of teasing people, and he was like sawing a gourd. He ate a meal without saying a word. Say more.

Until before going to bed, after climbing into bed, Wei Changan finally couldn't bear it anymore.

She poked Shen Quji's arm, blinked her starry eyes, and asked cheerfully, "Shen Quji, is the meal delicious tonight?"

Wei Chang'an never knew that the man surnamed Shen was a guy who was used to climbing up poles——I saw that the corners of his eyes were bent, his eyes were bright like pearls of thousands of dendrobiums: "There is a new cook in the yard? The craftsmanship is not bad. Reward—why is your face so red?"

"Blush? I don't know, it doesn't hurt or itchy, whatever it is," Wei Changan touched his face, turned over and lay on the bed, propped his elbows on the pillow, tilted his head and looked at Shen Quji next to him, with a look on his face. Chunliang looks: "You tell me first, what is the reward?"

Shen Quji stretched out his hand and touched Wei Changan's cheek, it was very red and a little hot, but it didn't look like he was allergic to something.

Seeing that Chang An himself said that he was not uncomfortable, Shen Quji leaned on his arm, pretended to think for a while, and then an uncontrollable smile rose from the corner of his mouth: "Go to the capital with me for a few days, how about it?"

This sentence was a coincidence, obviously still did not make any comments to the person who cooked the dinner, but Wei Changan, who continued the conversation, took the initiative to admit that she cooked the meal.

"Hmm...Miss Ben, think about it," Wei Changan turned over, tilted his head, and pillowed it on her arm that was also pillowed by Shen Quji himself.

Wei Changan rested his head on Shen Quji's inner upper arm, and when she moved slightly, Shen Quji, who was afraid of ticklish, giggled.

While hiding from the itching, she smiled and wanted to hold Wei Changan's head down to prevent her from moving: "...don't move, it's very itchy..."

"Why are you going to the capital all of a sudden?" Wei Changan left from Shen Quji's side, and got into his own quilt reluctantly, secretly thinking about how to get under Shen Quji's quilt so that he could be with her Get closer: "If you have something to deal with in business, you can go by yourself——hmm, it's so cold in the quilt, really, it's so cold..."

As he said that, Wei Changan rolled his eyes, turned his head, and chanted scriptures into Shen Quji's ear: "Poor thing, life is hard, I'm so weak, I'm about to freeze to death. People won't let me sleep in the same bed with her..."

The veins on Shen Quji's forehead twitched uncontrollably—it's the season of peach blossoms, how can it be cold at night?

But at the end, Shen Quji still rolled his eyes and lifted his quilt: "It's agreed, sleep when you're sleepy, don't make trouble."

Thinking of the fuss that Wei Changan got into her quilt last night when she was not paying attention, Shen Quji's ears turned red again, hey, the two of them obviously didn't do anything...

Wei Changan, who had succeeded in his "conspiracy", happily rolled himself into Shen Quji's quilt, but he still pretended to be aggrieved, grabbing Shen Quji's collar and trying to put his hand in, beautifying It's called warming hands.

How could Shen Quji fail to see what Wei Changan meant—since Wei Changan accepted her true identity, she never dared to cross that line—she thought she was too cowardly and cowardly, and also felt that she was dirty. It was filthy, in short, she felt that any rash intimacy with her would even be a kind of defilement to Wei Changan.

Too much lack of sense of security and trust—she was afraid that Wei Changan's acceptance of her was actually just a momentary impulse, and she was afraid that Wei Changan would regret it one day, so she didn't dare, dared not do anything.

It's really not that Shen Quji has too many worries, it's just that she regards all of these as the most precious, and the more precious, the more respectful she is.

"...What are you worried about?" Wei Changan, who was in Shen Quji's arms, gradually calmed down, her hands were still clutching Shen Quji's lapel, her voice was rare and shallow and gentle: "You are worried that I am just Did you just accept yours on a whim?"

Shen Quji felt that her arm under Chang'an's pillow was numb and swollen, and when her limbs gradually became clear, she found that her limbs were numb.

Wei Changan smiled softly, and continued to say in a low voice: "To be honest, when you just told me, I felt like my whole body was turned upside down—how could this be possible! In the spring boudoir dream of countless young girls Man, is it a woman?! My husband-in-law of Wei Taohua, unexpectedly... I thought a lot that night, from my parents, to your mother and Aunt Fuqu, from my brothers and sisters-in-law, to you and me... "

Shen Quji's heart was also heavy, she couldn't say anything, so she could only rub Wei Changan's hair with her chin comfortingly.

But I heard Chang An continue: "My surname is Shen, I don't think you will spend time and wine outside, you will not embrace three wives and four concubines, and you will not treat me as a dispensable childbearing tool, and you will not be in the house." I am old and fading and abandon me like a shoe, you will do everything you can to me, you really care about me... Except for my mother and my brothers, you are the best to me, even if you put Those good things are hidden very deep, but I still saw it..."

Shen Quji didn't know why Chang'an missed her father among those who were kind to her, but this silly girl was right, even if she gave everything she had, she had to be kind to her, to protect her safe and sound, Even though her methods are sometimes not understood.

Shen Quji's hand under the quilt was suddenly pulled over.

Wei Changan put this slightly rough hand on his heart: "But you are too good... You don't want to get close to me, so I wondered, is it because I am not good enough for you? In the past 21 years, there is no place that can compare with you. It is normal for a person like you to look down on me..."

"Chang'an..." Shen Quji's hand was bigger than Wei Chang'an's, and she easily held Wei Chang'an's cold hand in the palm of her hand: "I say that I am not good enough for you, why not?" Could it be that you are not worthy of me? You are worthy, you are worthy of this world..."

The person who was speaking lost his voice—it was Wei Changan, she bit Shen Quji's inconspicuous Adam's apple that was sliding up and down because of speaking.

Wei Changan couldn't tell where he got the courage to do such a thing to Shen—maybe it was because Shen Quji's words really hit the gap between the two?

Or, it may be because she was dazzled by the faint tea fragrance on Shen Quji's body, which aroused those unspeakable, most primitive desires of human beings - Dr. Dong once said that two people having sex is the best During the first few days after Yue Li just left, women at this time are most likely to want, and it is also the easiest...to have children...

Regardless of the fact that there will be no children between the two women, Wei Changan, with a muddy head, let go of his mouth biting Shen Quji's Adam's apple, kissing softly and softly, exploring all the way, and finally lingering on Shen Qu between the two ill clavicles.

The man who tried his best to restrain himself began to grope around until he peeled off Shen Quji's shirt. Wei Changan panted, and finally murmured impatiently, "...surnamed Shen, Shen Quji...you, you... ...do you want me?"

With scorching breath hitting between Shen Quji's collarbones, coupled with such explicit words from his beloved, Shen Quji's scalp became numb, a surge of blood surged up, and Wei Changan was pressed down by turning over.

A gentle and careful kiss, with a kind of uncontrollable joy, first fell between Wei Changan's brows and eyes, then the tip of his nose, and the corner of his mouth.

Finally, when the kiss came to Wei Changan's ear as lingeringly as possible, Wei Changan, who was hot inside his body, trembled and his toes shrank.

A panting moan fell into Shen Quji's ear unexpectedly, driving away the last trace of rationality in her mind.

Everything in front went smoothly, but when the person under him was Wei Chang'an, Shen Quji's hands were still trembling slightly, and he was a little at a loss.

Wei Changan's face was already blushing, and she couldn't tell if she was blushing at all. Her breathing was a little short, but she still held Shen Quji's hand and led her, trembling all the way down.

"Shen, take it easy...I, I'm afraid of pain..."

The hibiscus tent is warm, and the spring night is once.

The night wind outside is getting warmer, and all kinds of buds in Xinyixuan's yard are hidden in the night, sprouting rustlingly...

The next day was the tenth day of the Lunar New Year, and all the shops in the Shen family were closed. When Shen Quji woke up early in the morning, he found that the people around him were still sleeping.

Knowing that Wei Changan's sleep was shallow, and that even the slightest rustle could wake her up, Shen Quji lay there without moving, but just squinted his eyes and woke up after a short nap, Wei Changan woke up leisurely come over.

Seeing that the people around him had already woken up, Wei Changan stretched his waist and raised a smiling face towards Shen Quji. The result——the aching man gasped, and his big eyes, which had not been curled up by the smile, immediately opened up. Sending Shen Quji a roll of his eyes, his voice was a little trembling: "The surname is Shen..."

"What's the matter?" Shen Quji sat up halfway, his voice was hoarse when he just woke up in the morning, and his expression was frowning nervously.

"...Oops!" Shen Quji grinned, and was kicked hard on his calf unexpectedly.

"You still have the guts to ask!" Wei Changan buried his face in the quilt with difficulty, his voice was so dull that there was no trace of sharpness: "I can't even move!"

I don't know what Wei Changan's words reminded Shen Quji, but the man's ears turned red at a speed visible to the naked eye.

She stretched out her hand to pull the quilt covering Wei Changan's head, her tone was apologetic after all: "No, or me, I'll rub it for you?"

"Go away, don't disturb me, let me be alone..." Wei Changan's voice buried under the quilt sounded like he was about to cry.

In Shen Quji's heart, it was as if he drank a big mouthful of fruit vinegar that hadn't been fermented—it was sour and sweet, and his bones were soft.

She half leaned against the head of the bed, half-circling Wei Changan in front of her body, her voice always softened inadvertently: "Well, then I'll get up first, so you can sleep for a while?"

Wei Changan: "...Okay!" You big stick with the surname Shen!

Shen Quji stretched out his hand to rub Wei Changan's head through the quilt, and then got up in a good mood.

The quilt was so stuffy, I don't know how long it had passed, and after hearing the silence outside, Wei Changan got out of the quilt, only to see Shen sitting in front of the dressing table without saying a word.

"Hey, surnamed Shen, what are you doing?" Wei Changan breathed heavily, his cheeks flushed.

Shen Quji lowered his head, turned his back to Wei Changan, his voice has changed from the hoarseness he got up early to the usual gentleness: "I just went out to have a look, the weather is good today, the flowers outside are blooming, I have an appointment Brothers and sisters went to Qingshui River for an outing, would you go? Jin Tian asked you to go together by name."

"...Aren't you going to the capital?" Wei Changan slowly climbed off the bed, and dragged himself to the closet to pick out clothes.

Wei Chang'an picked out a peach-colored Yanju suit, and Shen Quji came over to help her put it on with considerable discernment: "Have you considered it, let's go together?"

Wei Changan raised his head slightly, and Ren surnamed Shen gently adjusted his neckline: "I want to eat seaweed rice balls during the outing, um... I also want to drink egg drop soup!"

"Go fishing today and drink fish soup." After tidying up Wei Chang'an's clothes, Shen Quji pulled her to sit down in front of the dressing table, raised his eyebrows, and said in a brisk tone: "If you come here, you don't want to be indecent, and you have to let it go." You have a taste of my craft."

Wei Changan nodded: "I'm going on an outing, and if the fish soup is delicious, I'll go to the capital too." Then, she called Jixiang Ruyi to come in and help her dress up.

Shen Quji bent his eyes and leaned against the dressing table, looked over Wei Changan's shoulders, and fell outside the window, his expression softened unconsciously, and his eyes were warm and moist.

There is a breeze blowing in from the window, bringing bursts of fresh fragrance mixed with flowers, grass and soil.

The willows are looking for a thousand colors, and the peach blossoms are alone.Gently blowing into the curtain, the wind makes the clothes fragrant.

No.: Spring outing

Ever since they were punished to copy the scriptures at home, Shen Jie and Shen Qubing hadn't gone out for a long time. Winter went to spring, although the house was full of spring, but the natural scenery was even more wonderful.

As soon as the group reached the Qingshui River, they saw many people who came here to play and set up pots and stoves.

Shen Jie couldn't wait to pull his younger sister Xiao Jintian Sa Yazi and ran all the way to the front, and let a lot of maids follow carefully behind him.

After a year, the second young master, Shen Qubing, lost a lot of weight, but he seemed to have grown mature and stable. After a brief greeting with his eldest brother and sister-in-law, he carried his seven or eight-month-old son to another place. Playing away.

Under the arrangement of Shen Pan and Ji Xiang, the servants were busy with each other in an orderly manner. Shen Quji looked around, took Wei Changan's hand, and walked towards a place with few people by the river.

"Shen, I don't have the strength to go." Wei Changan slowed down and held Shen Quji. She raised her head slightly, and looked at the smiling person with aggrieved eyes: "You have to carry me on your back."

Shen Quji finally let out a low laugh, she let go of Wei Changan's hand, and committed herself to squatting down in front of Wei Changan: "It should be so."

"Slick tongue!" Wei Changan frowned, and then easily climbed onto Shen Quji's back: "Hey, there seem to be some flowers blooming in front, many people are watching, let's go, go and see." !"

There are many people who come to Qingshui River to play in spring, and some small vendors also follow here. When they saw some selling rock sugar cakes, Wei Changan, who was lying on Shen Quji's back, rubbed Shen Quji's earlobes excitedly: " The surname is Shen, I want to eat rock sugar cake..."

Since people wanted to eat it, Shen Quji naturally had to buy it.

"The taste is not bad." Wei Changan handed the rock sugar cake in his hand to Shen Qujiu's mouth: "It's not much different from the one in Xu's shop in the west of the city. You can try it."

Shen Quji tasted the place where Wei Changan had bitten, but couldn't tell whether it was good or bad: "It's too dry, eat slowly and choke carefully."

"..." Wei Changan was really choked, not because of Bing Tang Cake, but because of the person he saw in front of him——sister-in-law Shen Yunian.

Shen Yunian was not alone, beside her was a foreign woman with different hairstyles who was walking side by side with her.

"That person... is from the Jin Kingdom?" Wei Changan hurriedly swallowed what was in his mouth, patted Shen Quji, and let her put himself on the ground: "The black silk bun, is it an unmarried woman from the Jin Kingdom?"

Shen Quji frowned slightly, and nodded thoughtfully: "Chao and Jin have good relations, and people-to-people exchanges have been frequent in recent years, and our family's business has also infiltrated into Jin. That girl is a fellow There is someone in our family who has had business dealings, whose surname is Rong."

"You have a really good memory." Wei Changan's eyes fell on Yu Nian's side, squinting his eyes, and said seemingly calmly.

Shen Quji clearly smelled something strange, she touched her nose, and explained wittily: "It's really not because I have a good memory, all Jin women have the habit of putting flowers on their brows, but look at Miss Rong."

Because it was a little far away, Wei Changan took a closer look, but there was no flower tint between the girl's eyebrows.

Shen Quji lowered his eyes slightly, and amidst the laughter of a group of picnickers, he said to Wei Chang'an in a low and melodious voice: "The folk customs of Jin Dynasty are civilized, and men and women are allowed to marry each other, and all women marry flowers between their eyebrows." Those who call it 'Sister Qi', when Sister Qi gets married, she must marry a woman, of course, if they don't want to be Sister Qi, they can just point back the flowers between their eyebrows."

Wei Changan had also heard of this custom in the Jin Kingdom, but he never expected that today she would actually meet the legendary Sister Qi.

At that time, the sharp-eyed Shen Yunian had already seen the figures of Shen Quji and Wei Changan. After a moment of hesitation, she still came towards this side.

"Shen Jinnian, sister-in-law." Shen Yunian came up to say hello politely: "Why do you come here when you have time, spring outing?"

"Your eldest brother is resting today. We came with our second and third brothers," Wei Changan answered Shen Yunian with a smile, "I don't know who is next to you..."

Shen Yunian was taken aback, and hurriedly avoided Shen Quji's gaze, and introduced Wei Changan: "Oh, this is a friend of mine, Jin Rongzhao," she said, and she turned to introduce Wei Changan to Rong Zhao .

Shen Quji stood beside him calmly - she would bet that that idiot Shen Yunian had never known Rong Zhao for more than two hours.

I saw Rong Zhao greeted Wei Changan with Chao Guoli, and his conversation and manner were quite good: "In the state of Jin Rongzhao, I met the young lady of the Shen family."

"Miss Rong is polite." Wei Changan replied politely.

But seeing Rong Zhao turn to Shen and salute, with a smile in his eyes: "Boss Shen, why don't you come to Anshan?"

"Don't come to Anshan," Shen Quji bowed his hands in return, with a smile on his face that Wei Changan had never seen before, which was quite different from the one in private, close but not close, far but not distant: "Thank you, Patriarch Rong, for your concern. "

"Rong Zhao and I met on the way," Shen Yunian put one hand on the elbow of his fractured arm, lowered his head, still not daring to look directly into his brother Shen Quji's eyes: "Will you I still want to accompany Rong Zhao to other places, so I will leave first."

Shen Yunian pulled Rong Zhao away, and Rong Zhao instinctively bid farewell to Shen Quji and Wei Changan.

Wei Chang'an replied slightly: "Then, Patriarch Lao Rong will take care of my family..."

"Wait a minute!" Shen Quji suddenly said, and at the same time grabbed Shen Yunian's arm that was holding Rong Zhao.

"Shen Jinnian, what are you doing?" Shen Yunian turned around and stared at Shen Quji.

Shen Quji ignored his younger sister's threatening eyes, and turned to look at Rong Zhao with gentle eyes: "I don't know if Patriarch Rong's visit to Chao State is because of the business of the Rong family, or because he is here to visit the mountains and rivers. ? If it's the former, I'll take my younger sister away and prevent her from causing trouble to Patriarch Rong."

Rong Zhao stared at Shen Quji with burning eyes for a moment, and finally, she finally broke free from Shen Yunian's holding her hand, and turned to salute Shen Quji: "It was me who was rude. For trivial matters, Zhao must send a small gift and come to the door to apologize in person."

The customs of Chao and Jin are different, and the cognitions of the people of the two countries are also different. Rong Zhao is the sister of Jin, and there will be nothing wrong in Jin, but this is in Chao, and she will always go wherever she goes. Being looked at with strange eyes, let alone Yu Nian walking with her, you don't need to think about the impact it will have on Yu Nian.

And although she was only walking with Yu Nian, she was in the public eye, and she would definitely cause criticism to Yu Nian, a girl who hadn't left the cabinet, for no reason. This was not Rong Zhao's style of acting.

"Patriarch Rong is serious." Shen Quji's expression and tone were the same as before, but Wei Changan could hear a hint of domineering meaning: "If Patriarch Rong needs Shen's help here, no matter what you say, I will be happy." to the end."

"Boss Shen, you're being polite." Rong Zhao cupped his hands, and without further words, led his servants to walk elsewhere without haste.

When Rong Zhao walked away, Shen Quji's eyes flashed a look of complexity, and he asked his sister softly, "Didn't you cultivate yourself in Zhuangzi? How did you 'meet' Master Rong on the way?"

Shen Yunian's eyes, with a signal for help, glanced at Wei Chang'an very quickly, and then answered Shen Quji bitterly: "You can take your daughter-in-law for an outing when the spring is warm, and I'm not allowed to be in a good mood." Come out to play? Shen Jinnian, you are sick!"

Shen Quji frowned: "Shen Yunian, you crazy girl, do you see that Rong Zhao's eyebrows are not painted with flowers? Do you know what it means for Jin women to go to Huatian? You..."

What happened next, Shen Quji was too angry to say anything, no matter what prejudices she has against Rong Zhao, it's just that this is in Chao State, a Chao State where a word of ethics can drive people to death!

"Okay, okay, Yu Nian, ignore her," Wei Changan stopped Shen Quji's unspoken words before the two started arguing, and walked over to take Shen Yunian's uninjured arm.

Before Shen Yunian opened his mouth to refute Shen Quji, he heard his sister-in-law annoyed Shen Quji: "Why are you so cruel to Yu Nian? Do you think your sister is one of those lazy and slippery guys under your hands? Swear at others when they say so, look at me You are amazing! If you talk more, you will not be allowed to eat when you go home at night!"

The angry Young Master Shen was immediately discouraged, Wei Changan had a needle in his hand, the needle was not sharp, but it could always easily make her not angry again.

Seeing that Shen Quji had stopped making a sound, Wei Chang'an pulled Shen Yunian to walk forward, chatting while walking, leaving Shen Quji alone on the spot speechless.

……

Shen Quji followed Wei Changan and Shen Yunian at a distance, and walked along the Qingshui River for a certain distance without saying a word.

After the three of them came back again, Xiao Jintian excitedly ran over to pull Wei Changan: "Sister-in-law, there are turtles, look!"

"Brother, sister-in-law, elder sister." Shen Jie gave the three of them a rare polite hand: "Jin Tian picked up a turtle over there, and I had someone put it in a clay pot——Aren't you in the manor, elder sister?" ? When did you come back?"

Shen Yunian subconsciously glanced at Shen Quji, laughing and refusing to answer directly from Shen Jie.

The crowd was dragged by Xiao Jintian to see the turtle, and Shen Quji walked to the side of his second brother Shen Qubing who was fishing by the river.

Shen Quji opened the fish basket and took a look, the second brother got a lot of money.

"How did you think about what I told you last time?" Shen Quji folded his arms, and turned his eyes to the sparkling river, his eyes dark.

Shen Qubing, holding a fishing rod in his hand, sat there motionless, like a stone statue. After a while, he replied in a low voice: "Since ancient times, marriages have been ordered by parents and the matchmaker. Madam's arrangement."

Shen Quji finally stretched out his hand out of hatred, and slapped the bamboo hat Shen Qubing was wearing: "If my mother listens to your father's opinion and asks you to marry the daughter of the Wang family, you really want to marry that daughter of the Wang family." marry?"

In the west of the city, there is a landlord named Wang Dajun. His family is rich and he has many wives and concubines. Unfortunately, he has only one daughter, Wang Xiaolian. It is said that she is extremely ugly, with a galloping horse on her forehead and a mouth as big as a pot. Because of this, Wang Dajun has already spoken out. ——As long as someone is willing to marry his daughter as his wife, he will definitely hand over the wealth of Wan Guan's family.

No one who can live a good life will really marry an extremely ugly woman to go home for the so-called wealth.

And anyone with a little brain can also understand Wang Dajun's pretense - it's just a daughter, how could it be worth the Wanguan family property?What Wang Dajun wanted was someone who would keep his money!

However, Shen Shusheng took a fancy to this opportunity, and he told Shen Lian confidently, but Shen Lian didn't agree, and asked Shen Quji to ask Shen Qubing's meaning instead.

Shen Qubing straightened the bamboo hat on his head, as if he had been focusing on the fishing rod, but he didn't answer Shen Quji's words.

"Qubing, our family does not lack Wang Dajun's million-dollar wealth. Even if you don't have a loved one for the time being, you can't, can't..." The gentleman, Young Master Shen, is at the end of his words, can't, can't what?Can't marry a woman like Wang Xiaolian?

What's wrong with Wang Xiaolian!Being ugly is not someone's own choice!

There was movement in the fishing rod in his hand, and Shen Qubingyue seized the opportunity to pull the fishing rod away—it was another fat carp!

"Brother, you don't have to worry." Shen Qubing put away the fishing rod, "I'm already 22 this year, so I can't always let my brother worry about me."

Brother, as the eldest son of the Shen family, have you done a lot of work for me and Jieer in front of the old man, the head of the family, my father, and outsiders all these years?Quite a lot!

Shen Quji picked up the net bag and caught the fish, while taking the hook in the fish's mouth, he raised his eyebrows and said: "Okay, you have grown up and have your own ideas, I have no objection, it's just Qubing, you Have you really figured it out?"

"Think clearly!" Shen Qubing got up and began to pack the fishing gear, his eyes were calm under the spring light, "I'm not afraid even if she's so ugly that she scares people to death, at most I won't touch her, anyway, I already have a Yanlang, so I'm not afraid of the last one, Hahaha……"

Shen Quji wanted to say a lot to his second brother, moved the corners of his mouth, but didn't say a word, because when he reached the point of his mouth, he found that none of the words were suitable...

Shen Pan asked people to set up a simple tent for resting next to a few apricot trees, and a small stove for cooking was built in the downwind.

Wei Changan and Shen Yunian sat together at the low table on the ledge to play with Yan Lang, while Shen Jie was pulled by Xiao Jintian to play with the turtle beside the table, and his servants cut and washed the fish in a hidden place, and Shen Quji got dressed He squatted there with his sleeves up and stewed the fish, while Shen Qubing was next to him.

"It's said that a gentleman stays away from the kitchen, but he probably returned all the sage books Shen Jinnian read to the teacher intact." Shen Yunian took Yan Lang's cloth tiger, teasing Yan Lang while teasing him.

Wei Chang'an raised his eyebrows, but didn't respond, but said in his heart, if someone surnamed Shen can cook, he will be able to cook in the future.
