great mandate

After thinking about it, Shen Wuji said: "We—"

Luo Jinyu also spoke at this time: "Then—"

The two spoke at the same time, heard each other's voice at the same time, stopped their voices at the same time, looked at each other, and said at the same time: "You—"

The two stopped again, and after a moment of silence, Luo Jinyu raised his hand and made a gesture of "Please speak, father-in-law".

Shen Wuji was not polite to him, and said: "Our family will send you there in a while. What did you just want to say?"

Luo Jinyu was startled, and said: "I want to say, it's getting late today, so I'll go tomorrow."

"Today's affairs are finished today, so why delay until tomorrow." Shen Wuji said, put down the spoon in his hand, got up and said, "Go back to the mansion and lead the horse."

Luo Jinyu sat without moving, raised his face to look at Shen Wuji.

Shen Wuji frowned: "Get up!"

Luo Jinyu hesitated to speak.

"Just say whatever you want." Shen Wuji said.

Luo Jinyu said: "There's no rush, father-in-law should finish eating the wontons first."

Hearing the words, Shen Wuji felt that he was really overly diligent, and recalling Luo Jinyu's dislike of being diligent in the past, he couldn't help but feel hot, coughed, and said: "Why are you in a hurry, who is in a hurry? Our family is full. "

"Who knows that every piece of Chinese food is hard work." Luo Jinyu said, "My mother taught me not to allow leftovers."

Shen Wuji: "..."

After thinking about it, Shen Wuji gritted his teeth, sat back, picked up the spoon, and buried himself in eating wontons.

The mother-in-law has strict family education.

Shen Wuji thought so while eating.

Shen Wuji finished eating the wontons quickly, drank the soup, put down the bowl, and looked at Luo Jinyu with some complacency, as if asking for a compliment.

Luo Jinyu's expression was a little dazed, and he only recovered after being stared at for a while, avoiding his gaze, and stood up silently.

Shen Wuji didn't ask any further questions, he got up and followed Luo Jinyu towards the door of his house, his steps were much lighter than in the morning.

Luo Jinyu's heart was very heavy, and she was even a little flustered.

He came here to take advantage of Shen Wuji's feelings, but when he realized more and more that Shen Wuji was really sincere, and not just to tease and play with himself, he felt more and more guilty and uncomfortable.

Neither his mother nor his husband had ever taught him to lie to others, what a shameless thing.

But if he didn't do this, if he asked Shen Wuji directly for the little seal of Peng Zu, would Shen Wuji give it to him?

Shen Wuji happily walked out for about ten steps, but found that the people around him did not keep up.

Afraid that he was walking too fast, he was startled, stopped quickly, and looked back at Luo Jinyu, only to see Luo Jinyu standing there, looking at him with a gloomy expression.

Shen Wuji was startled: "What's wrong?"

Luo Jinyu withdrew his gaze and shook his head: "It's okay." He walked to Shen Wuji's side and said, "Let's go."

"Speak up if you have something to say." Shen Wuji said.

Luo Jinyu hesitated for a moment, and said, "I want to... ask my father-in-law for something."

Shen Wuji felt strange, so he hurriedly asked, "What do you want? Tell me."

He used to give Luo Jinyu all kinds of things, no matter what rare treasures, Luo Jinyu refused them all, but now he asks him for something, why would he be unhappy.

As long as he has it, no matter what Luo Jinyu wants, he will give it.

If he didn't have it, and Luo Jinyu wanted it, he would try his best to get it.

Money is hard to change, and a beautiful woman smiles, he understands this truth better than anyone else.

Luo Jinyu was silent for a long time again, before she said: "I want Peng Zu's little seal."

Shen Wuji said without hesitation: "Okay."

Luo Jinyu: "..."

Shen Wuji observed his words and expressions, and asked, "What?"

"Peng Zu's small seal was given to the father-in-law by the late emperor..." Luo Jinyu hesitated.

Shen Wuji spoke confidently: "Give it to me, it's mine. If you want it, I'll give it to you. Why not?"

Luo Jinyu: "..."

Shen Wuji asked curiously: "But what do you want that thing for? It's just a very small seal, and it's still carved from wood, not as good as mine."

Luo Jinyu: "..."

Shen Wuji saw that his expression was complicated, and his heart suddenly became complicated. He thought, although I don't think that thing is interesting, but it is Peng Zu's small seal after all. In the eyes of educated people, how many stories and how big are the seal seals? meaning.If I say this, Luo Jinyu may not be happy.

Thinking of this, Shen Wuji hurriedly said: "It's just carved by Peng Zu himself, so naturally it's not something our family can compare..."

Luo Jinyu noticed Shen Wuji's uneasiness and embarrassment, and was more nervous than him, so she hurriedly explained: "That's not what I meant! Father-in-law misunderstood."

Shen Wuji doubtfully asked, "Then what do you mean?"

Luo Jinyu said: "It's just that I didn't expect that Eunuch is so generous. After all, Peng Zu's small seal was bestowed by the former emperor, and it is also a treasure of Xuanmen..."

"It's useless for our family to hold it, and our family is not a member of the Taoist sect. Our family is the seal of the supervisor of ceremonies, the imperial seal of the palm, and the approval of the affairs of the country. The authority of the seal is only useful." Shen Wuji said proudly.

Luo Jinyu said in a low voice: "I'm being superficial."

"That's not true." Shen Wuji said hastily, "I just didn't expect you to like this thing."

Luo Jinyu was a little nervous, for fear that Shen Wuji would ask him what he wanted Peng Zu Xiaoyin to do, since he was about to say it calmly, and Shen Wuji agreed to give it to him so generously, if he still cheated Shen Wuji, he would feel uneasy, but if he told the truth , and was afraid that Shen Wuji would call it nonsense, so he didn't want to give Peng Zu Xiaoyin to him.

Fortunately, Shen Wuji just muttered such a sentence, seeing that Luo Jinyu didn't speak, he didn't ask any more questions, but said with some coyness: "Our family doesn't say how rich it is, but it has accumulated some things, and our family doesn't like to play with these things Hey, throwing that away is just ashes, what do you usually like and want, just tell Xifeng, he has the key to the warehouse."

Luo Jinyu felt ashamed of him, so when she heard the words, she said something kind, "Eunuch is generous."

"Our family is not generous to everyone..." Shen Wuji quietly peeked at his expression, and coughed lightly.

Luo Jinyu had no choice but to pretend that he didn't hear this sentence.

Seeing him pretending, Shen Wuji coughed again and stopped talking.

The two walked back to Shen's mansion in silence, Shen Wuji asked someone to bring a horse, turned himself over first, and then stretched out his hand to Luo Jinyu who was on the ground: "Come up."

Luo Jinyu didn't hesitate, held Shen Wuji's hand, was pulled onto the horse by him, and sat in his arms.

Shen Wuji took the cloak from Xifeng again, wrapped Luo Jinyu in a white one, and put on the hat for him, almost completely covering Luo Jinyu's face.

Then, Shen Wuji took the red cloak from Xifeng's hand, put it on himself, tied the belt, then reined in the horse's belly, and drove Madada along the street towards the west gate.

Xi Feng stood on the spot, and watched the two of them go away with the concierge side by side, his eyes filled with relief.

Godfather/Master has passed a year, one year older, and finally understands something more, gratifying to congratulate, gratifying to congratulate.

Naturally, Luo Jinyu didn't know what Xifeng and the gatekeeper were thinking, he looked down at the ground that was retreating, and suddenly saw the horse stopped, and Shen Wuji said on his head: "You wait here, I will go back as soon as I go .”

Luo Jinyu nodded.

Shen Wuji got off the horse and came back not long after, and stuffed the ingot candle he just bought into Luo Jinyu's arms: "Hold it well."

Luo Jinyu lowered her eyes, looked at the things in her arms, but did not speak.

Shen Wuji rode his horse towards the city gate again.

Not long after leaving the city, Luo Jinyu wanted to take off the hat of the cloak, but Shen Wuji immediately grabbed her hand.

"It's windy outside the city, don't get sick again." Shen Wuji said.

Luo Jinyu responded in a low voice, withdrew his hand, and remained silent for a while, said: "I don't take off my hat in the city, it's not because I don't want people to see me riding a horse with my father-in-law. People in the capital are all smart, I'm afraid they will see this situation , without seeing my face, you can guess that this person is me."

Shen Wuji lowered his head, carefully tucked the corners of Luo Jinyu's loose cloak, and made sure that no wind would leak in, so he casually replied: "Yes."

"It's true that sitting on a horse is a little cold... Now that I've been sitting for a long time, I feel a little hot, and I want to take off my hat only after sweating." Luo Jinyu continued.

He thought to himself, Shen Wuji always thinks too much and holds grudges. When he used to call him "eunuch" when he was embarrassed, he remembered it until now, and he was worried that his behavior would make Shen Wuji angry and dissatisfied again.

If it was three years ago, Luo Jinyu didn't care whether Shen Wuji held grudges or not, even though Shen Wuji was a superintendent with power all over the world.But now, he wasn't afraid of Shen Wuji's power, but he didn't want to make Shen Wuji sad.

Shen Wuji owed him a great kindness, and he had nothing else to repay, so he felt ashamed.

Shen Wuji let out an "oh" and said, "I know you're sweating, that's why our family doesn't let you take off your hat, otherwise if the wind blows, you'll probably be done before night falls."

Luo Jinyu covered her head and face, nodded, and said: "Eunuch is thoughtful."

Outside where Luo Jinyu couldn't see, Shen Wuji licked the corners of his mouth quietly, feeling a little smug.

Xifeng, this kid, doesn't know what he's thinking all day long. He's young and has learned some nonsense, and he can really coax people.

The corners of Shen Wuji's eyes twitched, and his smile deepened.

But when the two of them arrived at the cemetery, Shen Wuji immediately restrained his smile, put on a very reserved and serious look, and stood under the horse to help Luo Jinyu.

It was the first time for Luo Jinyu to ride such a tall horse. It was easy to talk about getting on the horse, but difficult to get off the horse. The pedals were empty a few times. At first she was a little scared, but she didn't want to say it out loud. But Shen Wuji's strong arms pulled him into his arms. fall.

Luo Jinyu's back was a little stiff, and when Shen Wuji muttered, "Your waist is too thin", it became even stiffer: "Grandpa..."

Shen Wuji's spirit froze, he came back to his senses, and immediately let go of him, pretending to be serious: "Our family is afraid that you will fall, it's not intentional."

Luo Jinyu took off her hat and nodded: "I know."

"Stop talking," Shen Wuji hurriedly said, "Your mother's tomb is inside, let's go."

Luo Jinyu followed Shen Wuji into the cemetery.

High-ranking officials, famous families, and even small families in the Peng family often have ancestral graves.On the other hand, those who died of hunger or those who were poor and poor on the roadside were often sent to mass graves.

But many years ago, because Cao Guozhong controlled the government, traitors ran rampant, and countless unjust deaths were committed. The family did not dare to let these unjust deaths enter the ancestral graves. They were afraid of offending the villains and sent them to mass graves. It was really distressing, so someone deliberately built it. There is a cemetery for people to spend money and silver to bury in it.

The cemetery can’t be said to be much better. After all, it is more decent than the mass graves. The people in the cemetery also earn some money for guarding the tomb, and the family of the burial person cleans the grave.

At that time, Shen Wuji didn't know that Luo Jinyu was a child of the Luo family in Jinyang, so he chose the best cemetery in the suburbs of Beijing to bury his mother.

Now when I walk in, I can only see the traffic on the rice paddies, and all the tombs are clean and clean, and there are no weeds on the tombs.

Shen Wuji stopped in front of a grave and said, "Here."

Luo Jinyu walked over and saw the fresh fruits and vegetables enshrined in front of the tomb, which was different from the other tombs she saw along the way: "Who has been here... Father-in-law?"

"Our family has never been here before." Shen Wuji said, "The grave-sweepers must have enshrined it."

"But other..."

"Others didn't give so much money." Shen Wuji said.

Luo Jinyu: "..."

Shen Wuji said: "You haven't seen your mother for several years, you must have something intimate to say, let's go to the side and wait for you."

After speaking, he walked away.

Luo Jinyu was silent for a while, and finally couldn't help it, knelt down in front of the tomb, weeping, and kowtowed three times to her mother.

The tomb was paved with blue stones, after Luo Jinyu kowtowed, her forehead turned red and gradually turned into bruises.His face became paler, his lips were almost bloodless, the corners of his eyes were red, and he choked up with sobs: "Mother, the unfilial son is late."

Standing in the distance, Shen Wuji couldn't hear what Luo Jinyu was saying, but could see what Luo Jinyu was doing.

Luo Jinyu knelt in front of his mother's grave and kowtowed, then couldn't get up on her knees.

The cold wind blows, the spirit-calling banners on the surrounding tombs flutter, and Luo Jinyu's hairband also flies up, together with his wide-sleeved plain robe that is too big due to his thin body, making him look like he will turn into a butterfly and leave at any time .

Shen Wuji felt that if Luo Jinyu turned into a butterfly and left, it was quite natural.

Luo Jinyu has never been like this mortal person.

Three years ago, Luo Jinyu was proud and high-spirited, like a star descending from the sky, but three years later, Luo Jinyu was pale and thin, with a thin waist, more like a fairy who would ride the wind and go away at any time.

At this moment, the fairy fell on the ground and cried bitterly, ignoring that the muddy water after the snow had melted on the ground stained his white clothes.

Not everyone is afraid of muddy water.

Some people, even if they are in a quagmire, will never lose half of their charm.

Luo Jinyu is such a person.
