Shen Langgui

After sending Xun He away, Shen Yue went back to the mountain to tidy up the yard.The weather has been fine these few days, colorful hibiscus bloomed around the yard, and pearl orchids were scattered in every corner, not to mention the fragrant jasmine.There was a short rain last night, the sun was dry on the leaves, the water surface was clear and round, the morning breeze was slight, and a lotus flower bud loomed among the branches and leaves. Shen was overjoyed and ran up the bridge to touch his body.

It's a pity that Xun He still doesn't know about the earth-shaking changes in the backyard.This time when he went north to Chang'an, he negotiated with Simon a deal for an additional 15 bolts of silk, which will be delivered in March next year, with a tight schedule.In the past, Xunhe organized the victims to learn weaving skills from Jiuwan weavers, but now they have to drive the ducks to the shelves, and arrange the victims to learn and work part-time to ensure the production.However, Xunhe is a master who does everything by himself, arranges all personnel affairs by himself, and goes to the weaving bureau to supervise the work from time to time, so busy that he never touches the ground.In the past few days, he only returned to Xianmiandu when the stars and the moon were shining together. Before he had time to say a few words, he hurriedly washed and fell asleep.

In terms of official business, Xun He once hinted that he was unwilling to be helped by Shen Yue's kindness, so Shen Yue put aside his worrying exhortations and turned to take more care of eating, sleeping and sleeping.But Shen Yue couldn't be really relieved, when Xun He was asleep, he got up and looked through the official documents and books brought back by Xun He, so Shen Yue knew the above situation clearly.

In a few days, when the disaster victims are able to operate proficiently, Xun He will probably be able to slow down a little bit. By then, the lotus must have bloomed all over the stream. If he finds out, he will be so happy.

The garden is taken care of every day, and the average daily task is not too heavy. After cleaning it up in a while, Shen Yue went to the eaves and picked up a halberd from the weapon rack for morning exercises.The sun was twilight and the morning haze was curling up. It was a refreshing day, but Shen Yue was dripping with sweat at this moment. He guessed that it was time to get up after a quarter of an hour's horse gait. Suddenly, a woman came from behind and exclaimed: "Oh my God!" Shen Yue turned his head. Seeing that it was an introduction, the girl continued to scream: "Since when did the yard become so beautiful?!"

"When you go to Chang'an." As he said, Shen Yue wiped away the sweat on his forehead with a towel.

"I told you, you didn't take it seriously." Yan Ru followed Yinzhang into the garden.

"If I didn't hear it, it means you didn't say it." Yinzhang said domineeringly, but squatted down, and got close to the hibiscus to sniff.

Finally someone appreciates his achievement, it is rare for Shen Yue to be patient with others, he stepped forward and explained: "This is hibiscus, it won't smell good."

"It's a pity. Each of these flowers is well-behaved, but once they bloom together, they are so magnificent and beautiful." As he spoke, Yin Zhang looked around and sighed, "I don't know the backyard of Beiduqiu Mansion in the past. Master Shen didn't pay attention, and placed a few flower pots, which the young master asked Liu Er to get here on a whim, saying that someday he would have time to plant flowers, but when the people moved away, those flower pots were all empty, even the soil. Didn't fill it in. I didn't expect it to be such a coincidence that Lord Shen and Young Master wanted to go together. The yard is not big, but there are so many flowers planted and the layout is so delicate, how many people did Master Shen hire to start the work?"

Shen Yue followed the introduction to the small bridge: "I placed all the stones along the stream with my own hands, and I planted most of the flowers and plants in the yard."

"Ah?" Sure enough, Yinzhang was dumbfounded.

Yan Ru said proudly: "It's a pity that you didn't see how serious Master Shen was when he arranged the arrangement."

It was rare that Yinzhang didn't directly refute Yan Ru, the girl saw the swing under the big apricot tree again, she ran and jumped to sit on it, Yan Ru followed behind, told Yinzhang to sit properly, and began to help push it behind.

Shen Yue saw that the two of them didn't seem to have something to go up the mountain, so he asked: "What are you doing up here?"

"Oh! Sister Yin just came over and brought over the newly pressed Anshenxiang. I'll bring it up the mountain for Young Master."

"Gu Yin?" Shen Yue suddenly remembered the unresolved issues that day, and hurriedly asked Yin Zhang, "Where does Gu Yin live, I have to ask her some questions."

Yinzhang jumped off the swing in fright, thought for a while, and then replied: "I'll take Lord Shen there."

It turned out that Aunt Yin lived in a one-story house one street away. When she opened the courtyard door, she saw a baby who had just picked up Cuju from the ground.The two looked at each other, and the baby was the first to smile, and jumped over: "Sister Yinzhang!"

"Ouch! Chongyang!" Yinzhang's knee hurt from being hit by Chongyang, but he still picked up the doll and twirled it around.

The door of the room was originally open, upon hearing the commotion, Aunt Yin came out, followed by the maid Axiu.Seeing Shen Yue, Aunt Yin's eyes widened instantly, and she asked, "What are you doing here?"

"I probably understand some things, but I still need to confirm with you." Shen Yue said lightly.

Shen Yue directly pointed out that he came here for the confrontation, and the years of worry seemed to finally have a chance to be settled. Aunt Yin calmed down and ordered the maid: "Axiu, take Chongyang outside to play, I have something to say to Master Shen." talk."

The maid answered, but Chongyang protested: "No, Sister Yinzhang finally came here, I want to play with Sister Yinzhang!"

Aunt Yin was about to reprimand her, and Yin Zhang hurriedly comforted her: "Good boy, your mother has something very important to talk about, you can go out and play for a while, can my sister buy you candied haws later?"

"Then I want to eat two skewers!"

"Good good!"

After sending Chongyang away, the three entered the room and closed the door.

"What do you want to ask?" Aunt Yin said coldly without even making tea.

After hesitating for a while, Shen Yue found the right words: "...Chongyang, Chongyang is my son, right?"

Hearing this, Aunt Yin was very angry, she glared at Shen Yue angrily, but she answered irrelevantly: "I shouldn't have softened my heart back then and let you step into the gate of the Qiu Mansion."

Shen Yue smiled wryly: "It seems so. But why do you insist that Chongyang is your son with Ah Li?" If it was just for the sake of angering Shen Yue, Aunt Yin wouldn't do it.

Aunt Yin was dumbfounded, and cited Zhang angrily: "Master Shen forgot, the young master was forced by you to hide in the Wu family in the end. Think about it, the Wu family wanted to put you to death at that time. If people knew that sister Yin was pregnant It's your bloodline, Chongyang... how could they let Chongyang be born and live safely until now!"

"so……"

Without waiting for Shen Yue to answer, Yinzhang continued: "Master Shen should have guessed the rest. Young Master said that he was sexually promiscuous after drinking, violated Sister Yin, who was neglected by you for a long time, and got pregnant by accident. Young Master thought about what happened to Sister Yin." It is because of my own blood that I brought her out of the Shen residence." At this point, Yinzhang choked up with sobs and had to stop.

"Ah Li, he...has he kept it a secret until now?" Shen Yue really didn't know how to answer.

During the Shen Mansion in Gusu, I publicly exposed his unbearable past as a prostitute in the men's hall, and then caught him seriously injured at sea and tortured him... When I came here, I was full of doubts, but when I really found out the truth, I hardly dared to face it. right.

This crime cannot be paid for in a lifetime.

After recovering for a while, Yin Zhangcai said: "Do you know why the young master tolerates Wu Bi?"

"how……"

"Because it is the third girl who has been helping the young master, so the master and the second master Wu didn't ask much... Which house the young master entered, they tried their best to please him, but in the end... in the end, there was no place to please the young master. You will end up being driven to death."

Shen Yue suddenly understood that it was for the sake of wealth and honor that he ignored his health when he was looking for a ravine.Every time he was let down, every time he was completely hurt, he was terrified, terribly terrified.Suddenly, Shen Yue remembered the roomful of gold that was hidden in the basement of the thatched house that day. This kind of sense of security that can only be guaranteed by sleeping on real gold and silver, this habit of persisting in saving food to save life after becoming rich and powerful, is the key to this. All the grass and trees accumulated over the years of turmoil are all soldiers.

"You came to ask today because you want to take the child back?" After a long silence, Aunt Yin asked quietly, but before Shen Yue could speak, Aunt Yin scolded angrily: "Don't even think about it! There is no door!"

Shen Yue waved his hand: "I didn't come here for this. I just want to make things clear. From now on, you and Chongyang can go back to Qiu's mansion to live freely. Xun He likes you to be with him very much, I I don't want to embarrass him because of my relationship."

Hearing this, Aunt Yin did not relax at all, but frowned, full of doubts: "What do you mean by that?" Then she seemed to understand, and sneered, "You take this as compensation for Xiaoqiu. ?”

"No. When you were in Gusu Shen's Mansion back then, it was not groundless that you said that Ah Li and I were hanging out... We were together then, and now, as long as he doesn't mind, we will live on like this." , Shen Yue finally looked calm.

Aunt Yin was really shocked, and immediately said: "Sure enough! But what I said at the beginning was not all out of anger."

Shen Yue looked at Aunt Yin in surprise.

"You don't know, you slept in my room several times. In the middle of the night, you put your arms around me, but what you said was Xiaoqiu's name."

Shen Yue smiled wryly.

It's not just that I love deeply now, it turned out that I loved Shen Li badly at that time.But at that time, I had to put on the airs of the head of the family, and I didn't want to admit this love from the bottom of my heart. Only at night when I lost the control of consciousness, could my instinct reveal my innermost voice at a glance.

For the sake of saving face, he took such a long detour, caused Ah Li to suffer so much, and lost a lot of time that should have been glued together.

It broke our hearts.

When he went out again, Chongyang was still in the courtyard, kicking Cuju with Axiu.Seeing someone coming while running, Chongyang changed direction and ran towards the three of them, and finally hugged Yinzhang, shouting incessantly: "Sister Yinzhang, remember the candied haws you promised to give me!"

"There is better news, do you want to hear it?"

Without thinking about it, Chongyang immediately agreed in a childish voice: "Yes."

"Let me tell him." It was Shen Yue who stepped forward, opened his arms, and the introduction handed the child into Shen Yue's hands.

Chongyang straightened up immediately, and shouted timidly: "Uncle..."

Shen Yue looked at the child, big round eyes, slightly wider cheeks, a sharp chin at the corner of the mouth, although the nasal bone is immature, it has the prototype of a hooked nose... the same appearance as himself ah.Shen Yue couldn't help tightening his arms, and said softly: "I know to call Uncle when we meet, Chongyang is so polite."

"Uncle Qiu taught me to say hello to everyone you meet." As he spoke, Chongyang nodded his head at Shen Yue twice, "Hello, Uncle."

Shen Yue touched Chongyang's head, and said softly: "You're so cute! Uncle has good news for you. From now on, you can live back in Qiu's mansion again, and you can play with Uncle Qiu and Sister Yinzhang again."

"Really?! It's great!" Chongyang immediately let go of his restraint, clapping his little hands.

This time, even Aunt Yin smiled with relief.
