Evening Shaohua in the Red House

I saw a woman in plain clothes walking slowly, holding the hand of the little maidservant. The woman only wore a moon white honey collared jacket, embroidered with light-colored hibiscus, a white plain gauze skirt, painted with green water ripples, and the front and rear skirts floated. A few hibiscus petals are blowing with the wind while walking.

The head of black hair is tied into a bun with a white jade plum flower hairpin, and on the front is a hibiscus flower inlaid made of pearls, inlaid with emerald sapphires, and has no other decorations, but it looks more elegant and beautiful, elegant and elegant. dust.

Even though they only met once that day, that beautiful and unremarkable face has been deeply imprinted in Shen Yi's mind, when he saw it at this time, he recognized it immediately.

It's just that the sick face of that day is gone, and the woman in plain clothes is more and more beautiful today, which cannot be gazed upon.

Shen Yi only took one look and then turned his head away, not daring to look any further.

Li Wan saw that the plum blossoms were in full bloom, so he came out to take a stroll after the banquet was over. Although the garden is close to the front yard, behind it is Mrs. Gu's room. When I go back, I don't have to worry about meeting a foreigner, so I bring Biyue out to relax.

The two walked and chatted all the way, and came to Merlin before they knew it.

This plum grove occupies a very large area, and this corner is very quiet, very few people come here. Li Wan had just had two glasses of wine during the banquet, and just now walked for a while, feeling a little tired, so he said to Bi Yue: "Some My legs are sore, let's find a place to sit."

Bi Yue looked around for a while, then said with a smile, "There are a few big rocks under the rockery in front, I'll help grandma go there to rest."

Seeing that the two were getting closer and closer to the entrance of the cave, Shen Yi's heart was pounding. He was in a dilemma for a while, so he could only lean on the rock wall and tried his best to hide his figure. Fortunately, the two of them only stopped at the rock not far from the entrance of the cave. down.

He is wearing a sky blue robe today, which is not eye-catching, and the light in the cave is dim, so if you don't get close, it's not easy to spot.

Biyue took a handkerchief and placed it on a rock beside the road, helped Li Wan to sit down, and sat down on a smaller rock next to her, saying: "I see that grandma has been a little bored today, But are you still annoyed by what old Mrs. Shen said just now?"

Li Wan pursed his lips when he heard the words, shook his head and said, "I just can't figure it out. I have only met this old Mrs. Shen two or three times. How could such a good-natured person have any grudges? And she said inside and outside that Lan'er was greedy for the Shen family. In the meaning of property, although Lan Er is Mr. Shen's disciple, he is an outsider after all. Where does the matter of inheriting the family property come from?

? ”

Shen Yi originally planned to leave quietly while the two of them were not paying attention, but at this moment his heart skipped a beat when he heard the words, he suddenly had a bad premonition, and he couldn't care less about being rude, so he stood still and listened attentively.

Biyue said angrily: "Grandma didn't care about it, I think that old lady Shen is a bit confused, what kind of family is our family, not to mention the basic family background, even grandma's own dowry is enough for our brother to spend After using it for a lifetime, why would you want to covet the property of the Shen family?!"

It turned out that just now when Li Wan sent Mother Jia and the others back, he ran into Mrs. Shen who came out of Mrs. Gu's courtyard. Li Wan had seen Mrs. Shen at the three banquets a month ago, and knew that she was Shen Yi's aunt, so naturally she would not Faux pas, just stop and salute,

This old Mrs. Shen has an old-fashioned temperament, and as she got older, she became more and more left-handed. She was annoyed by Shen Yi's refusal to remarry. Seeing that Li Wan was clearly a widow, she had a very handsome appearance. Although her clothes were simple and elegant, she was very It is touching, and I feel a little displeased, thinking of my nephew's refusal to remarry, and keeping saying that his disciple Jia Lan will take care of him for the elderly, he becomes more annoyed for a while, and he suspects that Li Wan's mother and son have ulterior motives, and the rhetoric coaxes Shen Yi into refusing to remarry , wanting to take the opportunity to plan for the Shen family's property, so she was very rude in her words, made a lot of insinuations before walking away.

Li Wan frowned and said: "This old Mrs. Shen has such an idea, there must be some reason, it's better to find out as soon as possible, otherwise Yu Lan'er's reputation will be damaged if it is spread."

Being angry for no reason, no one can be happy, but the other party is Shen Yi's aunt, and she is getting older, and she doesn't want to argue with an old and confused old lady. Find out, otherwise it will be bad for Jialan if it spreads.

Although the two of them didn't speak much, but Shen Yi is so smart, but in a few words, he guessed the whole story and the reason, and his heart sank. He never expected that his aunt would have such an idea and do such a rude thing. .

Biyue curled her lips and said, "I think this matter probably has something to do with Mr. Shen, otherwise, why would this good old Mrs. Shen target us like this? No wonder people say that the Shen family is weird. It's absurd, today, this old lady Shen is even more ruthless."

Li Wan always treats Xia Kuanhe well, as long as he sticks to his duty and generally behaves well, he doesn't restrict them very much, so he said in private

The words are quite casual.

Li Wan frowned immediately when he heard the words, and said: "Don't talk nonsense, this matter has nothing to do with Mr. Shen, and, where did you hear these words?"

Biyue Suyun has served her for more than ten years, and she has always been loyal. She is not willing to restrict their nature, so she is not strict with her on weekdays. Obstruction, it's nothing more than trivial things in the past, but today's words are really rude.

Bi Yue glanced at Li Wan, and whispered: "Everyone says that Mr. Shen's behavior is ridiculous. He ran away from home when he was young, and refused to go back to take care of his parents for many years. The fate of a wife and no children."

Li Wan immediately lowered his face when he heard the words, frowned and said: "Don't say this again, Mr. Shen has treated Lan'er as his own all these years, and taught us with all his heart, it is a great favor to us, no matter what, he shouldn't be so rude;"

Bi Yue had never seen Li Wan look so serious before, and her face turned pale in an instant.

Seeing this, Li Wan couldn't help but relax his expression, and said: "Besides, I have also taught you in the past, don't follow others' opinions in everything, you also heard about Mr. Shen in Suzhou back then, how can you repay a grievance with virtue?

We have never experienced other people's lives, so we are not qualified to be tolerant and magnanimous for others. The so-called filial piety depends on the situation. If the elders are not kind, we should not force the younger generation to be filial. It is not very important for Mr. Shen to act like this Can be blamed.

Furthermore, as far as I know, the Shen family cannot escape the support of Mr. Shen in these years, and they have never missed three festivals and two lives. It is rare to be able to do this, and there should be no more demanding ones.

As for getting married and having children, that is Mr. Shen's own choice, which seems to be a matter of course in the eyes of the world, but life is his own, as long as he lives comfortably and does not hinder others, it doesn't matter whether he gets married or not.

Mr. Shen obeyed his heart and did not wrong himself because of other people's eyes, but he did not delay a girl's life because of this. "

Biyue was convinced when she heard it, and secretly regretted the slip of the tongue just now, and said: "I was confused, after hearing some gossip, I just followed others, and forgot grandma's usual teachings."

Li Wan smiled slightly, and said: "Knowing your mistakes can make you better, don't do it again in the future."

Bi Yue hastily agreed.

Shen Yi who was next to him felt like a thunderbolt when he heard this.

His heart is pounding, he always does his own way, everyone knows that he is eccentric in nature, and he never defends how many discussions behind his back, but he never expected to meet a confidant today.

From Jia Lan's words and deeds in the past, he knew that Li Wan was different from ordinary women. Without a loving and enlightened mother, he was determined not to be able to teach such a smart child as Jia Lan.

Set up a baby girl hall, take in the lonely and helpless women and children, and teach them skills so that they can make a living. Countless men and women are ashamed.

He has always admired such a strange woman, but he never thought that the other person's thoughts coincided with his own, and even his shocking thoughts could be understood by the other party.

When I thought about those words just now, I felt more earnest than what I took out from my heart. I was happy and sighed at the same time, happy that Li Wan could understand his own heart, and lamented that men and women are different, hindered by secular rules It is a great pity in life that I can't make friends with him.

Suddenly there were thousands of words in my heart, and I wanted to say them all, but I couldn't utter a word, so I just stared at her blankly.

Li Wan didn't know that there was an outsider here, so he regained his energy at this time, so he went to the side and picked a plum blossom to take back and put it in a vase.

Bi Yue put on the azure satin cloak in her hand and put it on Li Wan, saying: "It's getting late now, the cold in the woods is getting worse, grandma should go back earlier."

Li Wan raised his head, only to notice that the sun was setting and the sky was getting darker, so he nodded and went back with plum blossoms and Biyue in his arms.

Shen Yi couldn't help looking at that figure, seeing that she didn't have much time to go, and suddenly disappeared.Standing under the plum tree in a daze, watching until the twilight, I heard someone behind me laughing and saying: "Tell us to find it! I have searched all over the garden, even the teacher's place, but I can't find it anywhere. The teacher said to see you." They came towards Merlin, so they actually hid here."

Shen Yi came back to his senses when he heard the words, and looked back, it was his junior brother Sun Zhao and his third senior brother Chu Nian, because he said: "I have nothing to do, just enjoy the plum blossoms."

Sun Zhao said with a smile, "Senior brother is really in a good mood. Standing in the wind and dew to look at the plum blossoms in the dusk, the elegance is even lower than that of Lin Hejing."

Shen Yiyin replied: "You are delicious food and wine, brocade curtain and embroidered pavilion; but I am Banqiao Xueyue, alone with plum blossoms."

Chu Nian said with a smile: "Under the moonlight forest, it's a pity that there are no beauties here."

Shen Yi smiled slightly and said: "The beauty I saw just now is a virgin girl in the middle of the moon. It is a pity that you are late.

"

Sun Zhao and Chu Nian only thought he was joking, they didn't take it seriously, and said with a smile: "Senior brother is really interesting."

Shen Yi didn't explain any further, and said, "Why are you looking for me?"

Chu Nian said: "In two days, I will be ordered to go south on business. I have already packed my luggage and will leave in the morning of the next day. Prince Zhao returned to me immediately and asked me to restore some ancient books, so I came to ask my junior brother for help."

Several of their senior brothers have their own strengths, some are good at painting, some are good at calligraphy and painting, some are good at sculpture, but Shen Yi is omniscient and omnipotent, there are almost no ones he can't do.

Repairing ancient books is a test of knowledge and consumes a lot of energy. This time, he agreed to help because of favors. He didn't expect that he would have to go south to run an errand before he finished it. He had promised Prince Zhao to finish it before the end of the month, so he couldn't break his promise.

Among all the brothers and sisters except him, only Shen Yi is good at this, so I asked him for help, but Shen Yi never liked to deal with princes and nobles, so I didn't know whether he would agree or not.

Shen Yi pondered for a moment when he heard the words, then nodded and said: "Forget it, you just go to work with peace of mind, and leave this matter to me."

Chu Nian was very grateful, cupped his hands and said with a smile, "Thank you for your help, Junior Brother."

Sun Zhao saw that they had discussed well, and said with a smile: "I think it will be troublesome for senior brother Chu to say goodbye tomorrow. Anyway, I am here with the teacher today. I have entrusted my teacher's wife and ordered someone to prepare wine and vegetables. Let's have a few drinks tonight."

Shen Yi had no objection, the moment the three of them returned to Shen Yi's courtyard, the servants hurriedly stepped forward and said: "Master, the food and drink in the kitchen are ready, do you want to serve them?"

Shen Yi nodded and said: "Put it on, and boil another pot of hot wine."

The boy agreed to go down.

Shen Yi and the others went to sit in the inner room. At this time, a pear round Kang table and three sets of cups and chopsticks had been set up on the Kang.

Not long after, the servants brought a box and put out the food and wine. There was a bowl of stewed elbow with ham, a plate of goose breast with rouge, a bowl of steamed duck with fermented wine, a bowl of Dongpo meat, and a bowl of stewed chicken with yellow sprouts and white meat. There are another seven or eight dishes, all of which are white and colored Ding kiln, but the small tea saucers are larger; they contain fruits, side dishes and the like, four meat, four vegetables and four dried fruits, a total of twelve dishes.

Two other servants were warming the wine on the small stove outside.

The three sat down, Chu Nian got up, personally poured a glass of wine for Shen Yi and Sun Zhao, raised a glass and drank a cup, and said with a smile: "It's rare for us brothers and sisters to get together, let's be casual tonight, and we won't return if we don't get drunk. "

Sun Zhao also ate a cup, and said with a smile: "I drink

The amount is not enough, but I have given up my life to accompany the gentleman. "

Shen Yi didn't speak, just raised his glass and drank it down.

Chu Nian became more and more happy, and said: "Okay, junior brother is really happy!" He also persuaded him to eat vegetables.

Everyone drank a few glasses of wine, Chu Nian and Sun Zhao talked speculatively, they kept drinking, only Shen Yi ate quietly and rarely interrupted.

Chu Nian and Sun Zhao looked at each other with doubts in their eyes.

Seeing that Shen Yi had been drinking quietly and was still in a trance from time to time, Chu Nian became more and more curious. Shen Yi was always funny, although he didn't talk much, but he was not as quiet as today, so he smiled and said, "It's just me and Ziduan talking, Yu Qing is absent-minded and just concentrates on drinking wine, but what's bothering you?"

Sun Zhao suddenly remembered the rumors he had heard in the past two days, and couldn't help laughing: "Brother, are you still worrying about making your aunt urge you to get married?"

Chu Nian naturally heard about it, and immediately looked at Shen Yi with a playful look.

Shen Yi recovered after hearing the words, twitched the corners of his mouth, shook his head and said: "No."

Chu Nian smiled and said, "I heard that Aunt Ling chose many girls for you, all of them are beauties, and you didn't like any of them?"

Sun Zhao laughed and said, "Don't mention it, I'm sure I've been bored with you these past few days, let alone beauties, even the fairies from the sky won't be moved at all."

Chu Nian laughed out loud when he heard this, and joked, "According to Yuqing, not only looks and talent, but also like-mindedness, if you want to find someone he likes, I'm afraid there are only fairies in the sky."

Shen Yi paused when he heard the words, the beautiful figure just now flashed in his mind, his eyes lowered, he raised his glass and drank it down, and said with a wry smile: "If you are a goddess, how can we mortals can blaspheme."

The two laughed for a while when they heard the words, and saw that he had a different expression, he didn't seem to be joking, they both couldn't understand what he meant, but Shen Yi refused to go into details and just buried his head in drinking.

Chu Nian and the two were confused, but they couldn't ask anything, so they could only suppress their doubts and continue to drink.

At this time, the candles that had been lit were brilliant, and the feast was not over until the second watch came.The servants washed their mouths and hands and served good tea.

The three of them sat for a while, Chu Nian went back first because he had to go back tomorrow morning to say goodbye, Sun Zhao also said goodbye, Shen Yi sent them out, and asked the boys to take them back to the guest house.

After tidying up the leftovers, everyone went to rest, but Shen Yi still couldn't feel sleepy, so he ordered someone to spread the quilts in the pavilion beside the plum blossom grove, and sleep alone, without the help of his family and children.

The boys knew his temper, so they had to agree, laying

Good bedding, close the door and go away.

Tonight the weather was fine and the moon was shining like a wash. Shen Yi took off his clothes, brewed a pot of good tea, sat in front of the window, looked at the plum grove under the moonlight, drank the fragrant tea by himself, and his mind gradually became peaceful.

Thinking of today's events, Shen Yi couldn't help but shook his head and gave a wry smile, he was really possessed, a person in his [-]s, unexpectedly lost his composure like an innocent boy.

The author has something to say: Feelings are hard, I finally got this chapter out...

ps: Regarding the heroine's relationship, the main text will not have a clear ending, but if everyone asks, there can be a side story.
