carved heart

Chapter 90
After arriving at the side hall, Director Su pushed the door open, and Ah Yin couldn't help being slightly startled.There are many nuclear carvings and nuclear carving utensils in the side hall, and Dalang and Sanlang of the Su family are sitting at the table, and they seem to be sincerely asking for advice.

A Yin withdrew his gaze and entered the side hall.

Almost as soon as Ah Yin sat down, Su Dalang and Su Sanlang asked Ah Yin about the nuclear carving one after another, without mentioning the owner of Yueming County at all.After Ah Yin answered one by one, the two brothers handed over the carving tools and wanted Ah Yin to carve the nucleus.

For two full hours, the Su family brothers were really asking for advice on the carving core.

Near the evening, the Su family brothers showed a tired look on their faces, and ended the whole day's consultation.After Ah Yin returned to her own mansion, she didn't think about what the Su family wanted to do.At that time, Madam Shen, she could still understand, but the Su family today is really unpredictable.

In the next half month, the Su family brothers invited her five times.

And every time, he was seriously asking for advice from He Diao, and never mentioned other things.

A Yin later asked Shen Changtang, and Shen Changtang did not expect that Dalang and Sanlang of the Su family would be obsessed with nuclear carvings.

He said, "The third cousin is a womanizer."

As he was talking, he darkened his own face, and said: "My cousin's women dare to covet, and they have eaten the guts of a leopard." Hearing this, Ah Yin couldn't laugh or cry, cast him a few glances, and said, "What are you coveting for? Because of me, he My direct sister is now in Yongzhou, and it’s too late for him to hate me, so why would he covet me, and the two of them really care about He Diao, and every time they ask questions, they are all in the right style, not like talking nonsense.”

This is what A Yin is most puzzled about.

If Su Dalang and Su Sanlang were absent-minded and had other intentions, she could still understand that they definitely wanted to take revenge on the excuse of learning nuclear carving.But not only were they not absent-minded, they were more serious and diligent than many nuclear carving technicians in her Qinghui Building.

A hard-working person like Ayinna is especially troubled.

She is particularly fond of such people, so much so that the previous conflicts caused by Yueming County Lord have faded a lot.One day, Ah Yin routinely gave a lecture in Qinghui Building. After the class was over, a nuclear carving technician asked Ah Yin what his relationship was with the Su family.

When Ah Yin heard this, he couldn't help being stunned.

The nuclear carving artist said: "Miss Yin is going to marry the Su family in Qin and Jin soon?"

Someone echoed: "That's right, isn't Miss Yin always going to the Su family? If she can become the daughter-in-law of the Su family, Miss Yin can be regarded as half an official. We listen to the girl's lectures for a long time, and it is quite rewarding. I also hope from the bottom of my heart that Miss Yin can marry a good family. At that time, I will prepare a big gift for Miss Yin."

Ah Yin knew that they were not malicious, so he didn't take it to heart, shook his head and said, "No such thing, I just went to teach."

Early the next morning, Ah Yin received another invitation from the Su family.

She was already used to it at this time, she packed up her utensils and got on the carriage to Su's house.It has been nearly a month since the first time I went to Su's house to teach, and now A Yin is already familiar with the way.Su Sanlang seemed frivolous, but he didn't expect to be quite talented in nuclear carving. In less than a month, the carved Arhat nuclear carving was considered top-notch among new hands.

Near the evening, Ah Yin said goodbye.

As soon as she left the side hall, she saw the chief executive of the Su family outside saluted her and said, "Miss Yin, our master is here to invite you."

Ah Yin was slightly taken aback, and returned to normal in just a moment, nodded slightly, and followed the head of the Su family to the main hall.In the main hall, apart from General Su, there were five gentlemen of the Su family, plus the servants and maidservants, there were more than ten people in total.

Such a big battle made Ah Yin instantly vigilant.

She saluted General Su.

After General Su said some pleasantries, Ah Yin's mind turned, secretly guessing the meaning of General Su's words.Suddenly, General Su said: "Recently, I have heard some rumors about Gouzi and you."

General Su stroked his short beard, and said: "The five of you are still unmarried, and you have never been married."

The tone dragged on slightly.

Ah Yin's heart moved, could it be that General Su came to be a matchmaker?Immediately, he said calmly: "I am the owner of Qinghui Building, and when I go out, it is inevitable that there will be gossip. Thank you, General, for your concern. I am used to it and never take it to heart."

General Su sighed: "If you don't care about it, someone will always care about it. After all, you are a girl, too much gossip will always be bad for your future marriage. But this time it was caused by my two sons, old man I feel guilty. During this period of time, I also benefited from your lectures, the two of them cultivated their bodies at home, and made less trouble outside."

Su Dalang and Su Sanlang looked embarrassing, and each lowered their heads without saying a word.

General Su said again: "Yueming is recuperating in Yongzhou now, and I am missing a daughter by my side. As compensation, I will accept you as a righteous daughter. In this way, Gouzi can invite you to teach in a fair manner, and there will be no leisure time." gossip."

Ah Yin said, "A foster daughter?"

General Su nodded, and said: "Exactly, if you want, we can choose an auspicious day, hold a banquet and advertise it widely. With you as an example, Yueming will be restrained in the future. My daughter is really a headache. "

As he said that, General Su actually started to talk about his daughter's shortcomings, counting them one by one, never mentioning Ah Yin as an outsider, and his tone was very familiar, as if Ah Yin had already agreed.

"Thank you, General, for your kindness. Can you let me go back and think about it?"

General Su said: "This is a major matter, we really should think about it carefully, don't worry." At this time, General Su had a little more affection for Ah Yin.If an ordinary person encounters such a beautiful event that falls from the sky, he may have already responded with joy.She can still be so calm, it can be seen that she is not a follower of others.

After Ah Yin returned to the mansion, when the night was dark, he entered the secret road leading to Mu Yanghou's mansion.She told Mu Yanghou what happened today, and after she finished speaking, she asked: "Is this what your mother meant?"

In order to avoid suspicion, General Su directly took in a foster daughter. It was obvious that he wanted to elevate her status by working so hard.If this kind of favor belongs to Shen Changtang's family, she is willing to accept it.But if it's not, it's just General Su's hotheaded moment, or the thoughts of those sons of the Su family, she definitely can't accept it.

Anything can be owed, but favors cannot.

Shen Changtang seemed a little dazed, before saying after a while: "You can agree."

Ah Yin understood, but at the same time she was a little surprised, she didn't expect Shen Changtang's mother to be able to do this.General Su's righteous daughter, Mrs. Shen's greatest sincerity.Ah Yin said, "Okay, I'll go back to General Susu in a few days."

A few days later, Ah Yin went to the Su residence.General Su immediately asked someone to choose an auspicious day, and it happened that the auspicious day was not far away, which was the fifth day of August, and there were three days left.On the same day, General Su spread invitations widely, inviting relatives, friends, and colleagues from the DPRK and China to come and witness the adoption of the adopted daughter together.

In just a few days, Yin, the owner of Qinghuilou, a nuclei sculptor from Shangguan's family in Suizhou, transformed himself into the righteous daughter of a Soviet general, causing another storm in Yongping.

With the status of adopted daughter, the rumors about the gentlemen of the Su family gradually dissipated.

Jiang Xuan was very happy about this, she said: "Sister, if you become the adoptive daughter of General Su, you can also be regarded as Yongping's noble daughter, her status is very different." She tilted her head and asked uncertainly : "Is such an identity suitable for Lord Hou?"

Ah Yin said: "Whether you are worthy or not is not a matter of status."

Jiang Xuan was stunned, and asked: "Then what is the final decision?"

Ah Yin bowed his head.

The view of this mansion is excellent, and her courtyard can overlook the majestic and majestic Miyagi in the distance.The bright moonlight shrouded it, and when it touched the palace, it seemed to be dyed with an unattainable silver light.

She said: "Family background, status, you can fall from the clouds overnight, it all depends on that person's preference."

As the adoptive daughter of the Su family, she had to go to General Su to say hello to General Su every now and then.And every time Ah Yin went to pay his respects, if there were no accidents, he would always meet Mrs. Shen.Mrs. Shen took her to ask her about her health, and almost every time she met Mrs. Shen, Ah Yin would definitely bring a load of things with her when she returned home.

Mrs. Shen asked the servants in the mansion to divide a room in her original courtyard, which was refurbished inside and out. The furniture and everything were arranged by Mrs. Shen. At the end of August, a brand new wing room was freshly baked , Mrs. Shen also personally signed the name and took it as Tianyin, which means the sound of the sound of nature, which is the same as A Yin's name.The wing room was reserved for Ah Yin.

The reason was that one day after Ah Yin had dinner in the Su Mansion, the drizzle outside the house turned into a downpour, and the whipping method trapped Ah Yin.It rained for a long time, Ah Yin's food was gone, but the rain still had no tendency to decrease, so he asked the maid to prepare a guest room.After Mrs. Shen knew about it, she decided to change her original courtyard into a brand new wing.

So, sometimes when the night was too dark, Ah Yin sent someone back to the mansion to say something, and then stayed overnight in Su's mansion.

As time goes by, Ah Yin's gentle and gentle temperament greatly changed the outlook of the five gentlemen of the Su family. Gradually, these gentlemen sincerely treated Ah Yin as a younger sister.What surprised Ah Yin the most was that after the most frivolous Su Sanlang settled down, he showed great talent in nuclei carving, and from time to time he was able to carve nuclei carvings that even Ah Yin found novel.

After the Mid-Autumn Festival, Mrs. Shen rarely came to the Su residence.

Ah Yin was a little concerned, and asked Su Sanlang, Su Sanlang said: "It's okay, it will be fine after a while, my aunt must be depressed for a period of time after the Mid-Autumn Festival. Every time after the Mid-Autumn Festival, even sister Yueming dare not go to sleep. Mansion." Speaking of County Lord Yueming, Su Sanlang said again: "Yueming has been spoiled by us since she was a child, sister Yin, don't bother with her."

Ah Yin smiled, and said casually: "Don't worry, Yixiong, I haven't taken it to heart."

She paused, then asked again: "Do you know the reason?"

Su Sanlang was a little surprised that he paid so much attention to Mrs. Shen, raised his eyebrows slightly, and said, "Sister Yin, let me tell you the truth, Yueming wants to marry her cousin, we can't stop it no matter what, and because of the words of the Holy Majesty Jokingly, I barely opened my eyes and closed my eyes. You may not know that our cousin is Mu Yanghou, who is not close to women, and married with the name of Mrs. Hou, but he will be a widow for the rest of his life."

Ah Yin heard this, and said with a smile: "Mrs. Shen treated me very well. She hasn't come here for a long time, so she's just a little worried. You don't think as much as Yixiong." This Yixiong didn't know the cousin he was talking about. At night, she was like a hungry wolf. If she hadn't been married, she would have been gnawed to the bone by him.But these are the boudoir joys of the young couple after the door is closed, and Ah Yin does not intend to share them with others.

Su Sanlang rubbed his chin and said: "I'm not very clear, how dare I ask about my aunt's affairs." As if thinking of something, he said again: "But I know a place, every time my aunt is depressed for a period of time, she will surely Come to find father. If you want to care about aunt, you can wait there, after aunt talks with father, she will definitely pass by that place. "

Ah Yin asked, "Where?"

"The back garden. When my aunt comes back, I'll have someone notify you immediately."

Ah Yin said "OK", and after discussing with Su Sanlang about the nuclear carving, he was ready to go back home.Unexpectedly, just as he was about to leave, the sky began to rain heavily without warning, so Ah Yin had to go back to "Tianyin" for a while to rest.

Ah Yin was a bit tired today, so he lay down and slept for a while.The servants of the Su residence already knew that the little master who appeared halfway didn't like making noise, and every time the lights in the house were turned off, the servants didn't dare to disturb him, so that when Ah Yin opened his eyes, it was completely dark.

She rubbed her head, called out a few times, and immediately a maid came in and saluted her.

Ah Yin yawned and asked, "What time is it?"

The servant girl replied: "There is still one and a half hours before the curfew."

Ah Yin said: "Call someone to prepare the car." Su's mansion is not far from her mansion, and it is raining now, even if it is a bit slower, she can arrive in less than half an hour.The servant girl left in response.Ah Yin tidied it up carefully, and suddenly found that when he taught Su Sanlang how to carve nuclei today, he left behind the nuclei he demonstrated.

She took a step and walked towards the side hall.

Because of the rainy day, Ah Yin took a long detour and walked along the long corridor built without using an umbrella.There are few female relatives in the Su residence, and there are not many servants. The road is so quiet that you can hear a needle drop along the way.

Unexpectedly, Ah Yin heard a rustling sound and quickly disappeared not far away.

It just so happened that the rain stopped, Ah Yin's heart moved, and he followed the sound.When I arrived at the rockery in the back garden, I realized it was a white cat.Startled, the white cat arched its body and stared at her vigilantly, with its tail straightened up.

Ayin suddenly felt amused, and knelt down to stroke the cat's head.

The white cat became docile, and gently rubbed against her palm. Its cute appearance showed that it was domesticated.Ah Yin looked at the white cat's fur. Although it was wet by the rain and stained with a few spots of filth, it was obvious at a glance that it was raised by a wealthy family.

County Lord Yueming is afraid of cats, and cats never appear in Su's mansion.

Just when Ah Yin was puzzled, footsteps suddenly sounded outside the rockery, one light and one heavy, and the sound also sounded one after the other.

"Haven't let go yet?"

A Yin was startled slightly, isn't this the voice of General Su?

"I've let it go, the first emperor... After my death, the queen mother always made things difficult for me. She is the one who really doesn't let go," Madam Shen said with a wry smile, "She has gained so much, and now the last thorn in her heart is probably the last thorn in her heart. Still can't pull it out, as long as I am alive, she will feel stuck."

Ah Yin knew that the Empress Dowager and Mrs. Shen were not on the same page, and she had already heard about it in her letter to Ming Mu.Back then, she only knew that Mrs. Shen was a person with a story, but now after hearing the conversation between the two, Ah Yin knew that she shouldn't listen to the next words.

She tiptoed and wanted to go out from the other side, but unexpectedly, before taking two steps, the white cat in her arms meowed a few times, and jumped out of Ah Yin's embrace.

Mrs. Shen shouted: "Good boy?"

Footsteps approached.

Ah Yin looked left and right, and hid in the cracks of the rockery with lightning speed.Mrs. Shen picked up the white cat, stroked its head, and said, "I said where did I go, so I came here."

General Su said: "When did you raise it?"

Madam Shen sighed: "It has nothing to do with him, it's just a coincidence."

General Su said: "You cat can't let the Queen Mother know, she will make it difficult for you if she finds out."

"I know, she has got everything, and the remoteness still makes things difficult for me. If it wasn't for..." She sneered, and said: "Today, it is not certain who will be the queen mother."

Seeing brother's sad face, Mrs. Shen said again: "I just said casually, at this age, what else can I hope for? He has passed away, and the new emperor has also ascended the throne. All my hopes have long since dissipated. I can only talk about it in front of my brother, and I don't even mention anything about Mother Fan who is by my side in the Shen family."

General Su sighed, and said: "I can't mention it, this matter is no small matter. The new emperor has already ascended the throne, and there are many suspicions. If he knows that Changtang has the blood of the Tian family, no matter how good the relationship between the monarch and his ministers is, it will not be able to resist the suspicion of the new emperor. "

Mrs. Shen said: "I know how to measure, brother don't worry."

The two gradually drifted away, cat meowing occasionally accompanied by the sound of water drops in the silent night, one after another, beating on Ah Yin's heart.

After a long time, Ah Yin came back to his senses, and walked back to "Tianyin" with slightly staggered steps.

The servant girl said anxiously: "Miss Yin is considered to be back. The servant girl thought that Miss Yin was gone."

Ah Yin said: "I left something in the side hall, I just got it back."

The servant girl asked worriedly again: "Miss Yin's complexion is not very good, but she has caught a cold? Just now, Mr. Bai took Da Lang's pulse, and he is still in the mansion. Do you want him to come over and show the girl?"

She shook her head and said, "No, I'll just go back and rest for a night."

He probably caught a cold on the rockery, and Ah Yin caught the wind and cold soon after returning, and even developed a fever in the middle of the night.Fortunately, when Shen Changtang came over in the middle of the night, he found that she was not feeling well, so he hurriedly asked the doctor to come over in the middle of the night.

The doctor made a prescription.

After taking a bowl of bitter medicine and sweating under the covers, Ah Yin's fever subsided the next day.

It was noon the next day when Ah Yin woke up completely.

As soon as she opened her eyes, she saw Ah Xuan who was full of anxiety.

"Sister, is there any discomfort?"

Ah Yin asked: "What's the matter with me?" After she finished speaking, she vaguely recalled that she was in a daze last night, and seemed to see Shen Changtang.As soon as she opened her mouth, she realized that her voice was very hoarse, and asked, "Did Ming Mu come here last night?"

Jiang Xuan nodded sharply.
