Shen Langgui

Xun He didn't think about food and drink for three consecutive days, so scared that Cheng Yin ran to Yongkang County overnight to report to Shen Yue.Shen Yue immediately put on his clothes and got up, and rushed back to Xianmiandu before dawn.

Before going up the mountain, he happened to meet Aunt Yin who was taking Chongyang to school. After exchanging pleasantries, Shen Yue went straight to the point: "What's the matter, Ah Li?"

Aunt Yin didn't appear to be flustered, she said truthfully: "I just ate some moon cakes, Xiaoqiu's stomach and stomach are clear to Mr. Shen, and he is a little more delicate. Yesterday I made Xiaoshi soup for him to drink, and his appetite should be restored in a few days."

Going up to the mountain, Yinzhang was heating hot water, Xunhe was still sleeping peacefully, Shen Yue had to come out and ask about the situation of Yinzhang, and only then did he know the cause and effect.It turned out that there was a night banquet held at Supervisor Zhao's residence the day before yesterday, and Xun He was invited to the appointment. At the banquet, he ate two mooncakes made by the chef of Zhao's residence, and when he came back, the building was about to collapse.

In the end, Yinzhang comforted Shen Yue: "It's still good this time. When it was severe in the past, the illness would last for ten days and a half months."

"..." Shen Yue suddenly understood Aunt Yin's unsurprising expression just now. In a moment of anger, he turned and went down the mountain, before leaving, he said, "Tell Ah Li that you don't have to go to the government today. I will ask for leave for him. Also, Let him stay in the room peacefully and wait for me to come back."

Shen Yue went out and returned, followed by five men, both young and old.Shen Yue ordered the servant girl to take three of the men to the kitchen, and then went up the mountain to carry Xun He down with a god-faced look.

The two men who stayed in the hall gave one an injection and the other asked a doctor. Everyone knew that the two men were originally doctors invited by Shen Yue.Not long after the needle was withdrawn, Xun He had the urge to defecate, and felt less full after relieved.Returning to the hall, smelling the fragrance of the food, it turned out to be a table of dishes quickly prepared by the three cooks, Xun He felt that Shen Yue was making a big fuss, but seeing that he was more than strict, he didn't dare to ask more questions, obediently cooperated and ate some Soup and rice.

For the next two days, Shen Yue delivered meals to the yamen himself, staring at Xun He with a black face until half a month later.

Perhaps because of the festival, Shen Yue swept away his gloom and looked quite cheerful. When he washed in the morning, he took out two sets of vermilion jackets and changed them for himself and Xun He.

Xun He cautiously asked, "What are you doing wearing a bright red suit?"

"forget?"

Xun He was even more at a loss, he only knew that today he and Shen Yue would go back to the Shen Mansion in Suzhou, but he didn't know why this festive color was.

"It doesn't matter if you don't remember, you will know when the time comes."

After Shen Yue and Shen Chao were made officials and knights, they sent people to renovate the inside and outside of Shen's mansion.Therefore, returning after many years, Xun He still feels that the big stone lion at the door is bright and bright.

The servant led the horse away, Shen Yue pulled Xun He and was about to climb up, but he felt a dark force to resist, Shen Yue turned around in doubt: "What?" I saw that Xun He's eyes were slightly empty, and wherever he looked, it was a letter written by the emperor. The plaque of Wenwudi'.Shen Yue then understood that at this moment Xun He was timid because of his closeness to his hometown.Feeling guilty, Shen Yue pulled Xun He into his arms: "It's rare to go home, those who are unhappy, let's put it aside for now."

After being comforted by Shen Yue, Xun He's doubts eased a little, and he followed Shen Yue into the mansion. "

Bypassing the glazed dragon screen wall, the two stopped, and Shen Yue asked, "Are you tired?"

Xun He shook his head: "It's just driving a horse, so it's not tiring."

"Then let's take a stroll first." When he said that, Shen Yue took Xun He's palm out of habit.

Unexpectedly, Xun He bounced away like an electric shock, with an embarrassed expression on his face, he hesitated and said: "...Don't be like this in the manor."

Shen Yue finally compromised, and walked side by side in the garden with Xun He.

Everything in the Shen residence remained the same, there were maids and servants to greet and greet from time to time.The only difference is that after passing through the Luchai Baosha, the end of the alley is no longer the arch of the Sun Moon Cave—Shui Wu Yue has long since disappeared.

Standing at the entrance of this brand-new courtyard, Xun He couldn't tell what kind of expression he was in, staring blankly at the courtyard in a daze.Shen Yue explained embarrassingly: "Back then, when I was angry, I asked someone to dismantle Shui Wu Yue. Now I decided to bring you back temporarily, and there was no time to rectify it. This time I will..."

Xun He stopped him and said, "Master has a heart, so there is no need to trouble yourself."

This is the rhetoric Xun He used to talk about in the past, and Shen Yue felt distressed.He said anxiously: "Don't always be like this..."

"I'm serious. Don't rebuild Shui Wuyue." This time, Xun He and Shen Yue looked at each other with unshakable firmness in their words, "It's enough to keep some things in memory."

After passing by 'Yunshou' where old lady Shen lived, Shen Yue gave a high five and said happily, "I remembered!"

"What?!" All the way was quiet, this sudden movement really frightened Xun He.

"That blanket was given to you by the old grandmother, right!" Shen Yue explained seeing Xun He's bewilderment, "It's the deerskin blanket you brought with you when you went south. No If I remember correctly, it was the gift from the old grandmother when you sacrificed your life to save Shutong when she visited you."

Xun He sighed: "It seems like a lifetime away."

Shen Yue also couldn't help sighing, if it wasn't for the accident, Shutong might have married Ruyi Langjun now, and Nianbai should have become a sassy young man.But the past is like smoke, indulging is useless, it is better to cherish the people in front of you.Shen Yue looked back at Xun He, and asked instead: "I saw you covering that blanket in the first few days, but I didn't see it again after that. Did you put it away?"

Xun He pondered, then nodded immediately: "Yes, I'm afraid it will be broken."

"I thought that after Shui Wuyue was demolished, there would be no traces of you and me in the world for six years. I didn't expect you to keep a token quietly." Shen Yue knew Xun He's nostalgic temperament well, so he comforted him, "It's good to put it away, but keep it anyway. Think about the future."

While speaking, the two paced to a courtyard.It was already dusk, and other courtyards were sparsely lit with a few lights, but this one was brightly lit.Shen Yue held Xun He's arm this time, and said in a gentle voice: "I haven't been back for a long time, go in and offer incense to the ancestors."

However, Xun He's body was stiff and unmoved.

Shen Yue had no choice but to continue to comfort: "Grandmother loves you so much, but she doesn't pay homage when she passes by. The old man has a spirit underground, so he must be unhappy."

After hesitating for a while, Xun He replied: "The old grandmother died short of life because of the wrong things I did, how could I have the face to offer incense to her?"

Shen Yue directly refuted: "Nonsense! I didn't even tell Shen Chao about the conflict between you and me back then, so how could grandma know about it. Besides, the Shen family was under the enemy at that time, and it fell within reason. How can it be caused by you alone! "

Xun He had a look of disbelief.Shen Yue was in a hurry to explain, but Xun He asked himself: "How did grandma get away in the end?"

"Hey, during that period of time, Shen's residence hadn't come to a desperate situation, but grandma didn't care about eating and drinking, she didn't eat water or rice for days, she just said that her time limit had come, she refused to seek medical treatment, and finally died of exhaustion." Speaking of this, Shen Yue The palms that I held with Xun He tightened a little more, "So, how can I not be in a hurry if you don't eat for a few days!"

"So that's how it is..." Xun He looked into the depths of the ancestral hall, and Shen Yue took advantage of the situation to lead him in.

The tall and spacious lobby is brightly lit.In front of a huge screen carved from a single piece of jade, there is a specially made stepped sandalwood cabinet, and the ancestral tablets of the Shen family are placed in descending order according to their seniority.In the middle of the front row is the spirit tablet of the old grandmother Zhuang.

Although Xun He is not from the blood of the Shen family, but he has followed Shen Yue for many years in the past, and he is familiar with the worship rules of Shen's residence. He was about to kneel down on the futon, but was held back by Shen Yue: "Wait a minute."

Although Xun He was puzzled, he did not ask questions immediately, but silently waited for Shen Yue to fold his palms together and pray.

After finishing it, Shen Yue said again: "Wait for me a little longer," he lit incense and handed three sticks to Xun He, "Say hello to your ancestors."

Xun He wondered: "Say hello?" That is to say, no other words silently, just a formality?

Shen Yue nodded, Xun He had no choice but to follow suit.

After the two finished offering incense, Shen Yue led Xun He out, Xun He was surprised: "Is this the end?"

Shen Yue shook his head, and simply ordered: "Just follow me." As they spoke, the two walked to the three-legged bronze tripod in the courtyard to worship the gods, Shen Yue pulled Xun He and knelt down on the futon, "Worship the heaven and the earth."

Xun He followed suit.

Returning to the hall after praying, this time I finally knelt down to the ancestors of the Shen family. Xun He did not doubt that he was there. Own.

"There is one last step." Shen Yue said in a low voice.

"Huh? When did the rules become like this?" Xun He already had his doubts written all over his face.

Shen Yue was mysterious, put his index finger on his lips, signaled Xun He not to ask more questions, and ordered: "Close your eyes and bow to me."

Although Xun He was full of misgivings, he just thought it was Shen's new worship rules, so he listened to Shen Yue's words, obediently closed his eyes, and bowed to him.When he got up, Xun He opened his eyes at the same time, and suddenly found that Shen Yue had also got up.

After straightening his body, Shen Yue turned to face the ancestral tablet of the Shen family, and Xun He followed suit.Shen Yue suddenly held Xun He's right hand, and said loudly:

"My ancestors, thanks to the blessings of our ancestors, Shen Yue is finally able to continue today. I love Xunhe. In the past, in order to help the Shen family in Gusu to make a comeback, I did not hesitate to seek up and down. In addition, Xunhe also secretly saved my son Chongyang. My kindness is more important than Mount Tai. Furthermore, although Xunhe and I do not have the name of husband and wife, we have long been husband and wife, and our hearts are connected. Today, the emperor is above, and the earth is below. Shen Yue and Qiu Xunhe are in the Shen family ancestral hall Let’s pay homage to marriage, and hope that our ancestors will fulfill this supreme marriage!”

Xun He opened his mouth in shock, he didn't know how to react for a moment, he just felt dizzy, when he lowered his head, he caught a glimpse of the vermilion shirt inside, and instantly understood why Shen Yue was weird today.
