Raising a Wise Husband: A Lovely Wife and a Husband

Chapter 56 Unbelievable

"If you want to take a walk, let's just take a walk, and don't think too much. There are so many intractable diseases in the world. Maybe you are really sick. No one can tell. It's possible." Madam Mu sighed Tone: "The two doctors brought by your father have also checked your pulse, but the result is still the same."

She shook her head: "Because of this, your father and I believe their words to a third. Don't always think about things when you are pregnant. It is not good for you and the child. Walking is good for your body. Well, today's weather is fine again, and our mother and I haven't been separated for a long time."

Mrs. Mu comforted her, but she cared more about her daughter's illness than anyone else, and she just didn't want to add to her daughter's troubles by speaking out.

Shu Yuan curled her lips when she heard her mother say "Three-point trust": "You only believed three-points, what are you deceiving me for. Just walk away, I need you to say so much." The mother and daughter took Yunwu and Mu The madam's maid, Jiansui, strolled along.

Because it was just a walk, Shuyuan didn't know where she was going, so she talked to Yunwu as she walked, asking which places in Jinfu were the least visited: She thought, if what the old lady of Nanfu said was true, then It must be quiet in such a place.

There are many quiet places in Beifu, but according to Yunwu, there is no place where people are forbidden to go; if there is really any place that people in the mansion cannot go to, it is only the place where the ancestors of the Jin family are enshrined. shrine.

Neither Shuyuan nor Mrs. Mu thought it was suspicious that no one would be allowed to go to the Jingance Temple, and it was impossible for anyone to let people intrude on the place where the ancestors were worshiped.So when she got a little tired, Shu Yuan didn't find anything suspicious.

Mrs. Mu saw that her daughter was tired, so she asked Yunwu to take a shortcut back: "I don't think the old lady in the south has any good intentions, she just said those words to make you think too much, as long as you want to search around in the mansion, you will definitely let her go." The old lady knows that when the time comes, your old lady will definitely be unhappy."

Shuyuan wanted to shake her head when she thought of Wei's face, but there was indeed nothing shameful in Beifu, so she hesitated.

When passing by the back of Jing's ancestral hall, Shu Yuan saw a half-white-haired woman bowed and disappeared: "Who is that?" She had never seen it before.But she had forgotten too many people, so it was not surprising that she didn't know that person. The strange thing was that the person should have seen them, but instead of coming to say hello to Ann, he left as if fleeing.

Yun Wu frowned: "I don't have any impression of the servant girl, she should be someone I don't know well. Look at the direction she is walking. Turning the corner is the gate of the Shrine Hall. She is not the woman who cleans the Shrine Hall. ? I heard someone raised my ear, saying that there is a strange old woman in the shrine courtyard, who never talks to anyone, and never goes to the big kitchen to get food."

"This is a bit strange." Mrs. Mu murmured and looked at her daughter: "Since you have come here, I think you should go to burn incense and let the ancestors bless your mother and child."

Shu Yuan was also interested in going to have a look. Hearing this, she immediately nodded in agreement, and came to the gate of Jingci Temple with Mrs. Mu.

The gate is open, the road inside the gate is made of bluestone slabs, the courtyard is very clean, and the flowers and plants are flourishing; the sun has no power now, but for some reason, the sunlight shining in the courtyard does not give people a little bit of heat. a feeling of.

It's a bit spooky.

It's not that the yard is not bright enough, nor is there anything strange about it. It may be that the ancestors of the Jin family are enshrined here, so it makes people feel that cold.

After stepping into the yard, no one was found. It was not until Shuyuan pushed open the door of the main hall of the upper room of the ancestral hall that someone came out of the wing room: "My servant Qian is here to serve the ancestors—do you want to offer incense at this time?" ?”

Qian's hair is gray, and his clothes are also the same as the figure he saw just now.Shuyuan knew that the person who avoided them just now was Qian Shi, so she nodded immediately: "I'm sorry for the trouble, mother-in-law."

Yun Wu helped Shu Yuan in and said to Qian Shi, "This is our young mistress."

Qian's head was lowered, she kept her head down and never raised it: "I know young mistress well. The last time I saw young mistress in the garden, young mistress asked me a few words and rewarded you." She said He picked up the things from his waist: "Young Mistress is a good person."

Mrs. Mu looked at the jade pendant in Qian's hand and her eyes flickered: "I don't want to go in and disturb the old ancestors, Shuyuan, come out after you burn the incense. Mrs. Qian, can you sit here for a while?" I’m really tired from walking today.”

"Yes, yes, there is." Qian Shi bent down and led Mrs. Mu and Jiansui to the wing room: "I don't have good tea here, I'm afraid I will neglect Madam. I have seen Madam before, but I don't have that blessing for Madam Please be safe."

Mrs. Mu smiled and nodded: "You are very good at talking, why were you sent here? Just you?"

Qian Shi opened the wing room, and the inside was very clean, but the furniture was very simple, there was only a bed and a table, all made of white wood without varnish.

"I'm the only one. I didn't make any mistakes, so I wouldn't send here, but Madam laughed at me." As he spoke, Qian wiped the chair with his sleeve: "Madam, sit down, I'll boil the water right now."

Mrs. Mu didn't stop her, and let Mrs. Qian leave to boil water; after she left, she gave Jiansui a wink: "Go and see if your girls are well, I'm a little hungry. I don't like this kind of place." I really don’t want to stay longer—it’s also a place to worship ancestors, so why isn’t there even a place to stay?”

Jiansui promised to push open the door, and Mrs. Mu came out with her, and saw that Mrs. Qian had straightened up and was adding fire to the small gatehouse not far away: Mrs. Qian is not a hunchback, so why did she keep going? What about bending over?

Shuyuan happened to come out and saw her mother staring at Qian Shi, so she looked over; Qian Shi heard the sound and stood up and bent down before turning around: "Young Mistress, the water will wait for a while."

"No need." Shu Yuan shook her head and looked at the other upper room: "Where is the enshrined—?"

"Unfortunate people." Qian sighed: "They are all aunts or girls who have given birth to a son and a half daughter, and they are just incense for a lifetime. There are more people, and when the sons and daughters are around, they can still burn them." Incense or something, if the sons and daughters are not in their tablets, they will be taken down."

"Besides, there are even more pitiful people, that is, some people who gave birth to children and died; the children are gone, and neither are the adults..." When Qian said this, he suddenly knelt down on the ground: "The servant has no other intentions, absolutely nothing. In other words, the young mistress is a good person and will definitely be blessed by the ancestors."

"The slaves don't go out, but I also heard that the young mistress took both the brother and the girl out. It wasn't your words..." She simply slapped herself when she said this: "Look at my mouth. It wouldn't cause trouble if it weren't for it." , how could he be punished here and not be able to make his mark for the rest of his life?"

Shu Yuan's eyes fell on the jade pendant around Qian's waist: "I asked you something in the garden, do you remember what I asked you?"

Mrs. Qian raised her head: "It's nothing. I just asked where my brother and girl's biological mother's memorial tablet is and when is the death day. I want to bring my brother and girl to offer incense sticks to their biological mother."

"Where are the memorial tablets of the brother and the girl's biological mother?" Shu Yuan looked at the upper room next to the main hall.

Qian hesitated for a moment and looked at the jade pendant on his waist: "It's not there. The maidservant has never seen the tablet of my brother's birth mother, and neither has the people who served here before."

Shu Yuan smiled and said: "I was confused at that time, the biological mother of the two children had been sent out of the house long ago, whether it is life or death has nothing to do with our Jin family, how could there be her memorial tablet here?"

When Qian heard this, she raised her head: "Sent out of the mansion?" Then she suddenly woke up: "I don't know these things, because I don't go out in this yard all the year round, and I often don't know what's going on in the mansion. of."

Shuyuan walked over slowly: "I gave a jade pendant, do you know how much that jade pendant is worth? Let's put it this way, that jade pendant was given to me by my parents when I was a child, do you understand now. You can get such a If you don’t know anything about precious things, wouldn’t I be in a loss-making business?”

"I was born in a family of merchants, and I have understood the way of business since I was a child. Do you think I am the kind of person who gives people a lot of money without asking for corresponding rewards? Tell me what you know, anyway, just now you The look on your face betrays you too, I know what you know."

Mrs. Mu also came over and looked at Qian who was kneeling on the ground: "Just now you know best whether the expression on your face is true or not, so don't say anything you don't know. Otherwise, your master will come here to find you in a while Young Mistress, seeing you annoy Young Mistress, do you think you will be punished?"

Qian's complexion changed drastically, and he kowtowed a few times before saying, "I don't dare, my servant..."

"Shuyuan, Shuyuan—!" Jin Chengye's voice came in, and then he appeared at the gate of the Shrine, meeting Shuyuan's eyes.

Mrs. Mu stared closely at Qian's eyes, and found that when she heard Jin Chengye's voice, disappointment flashed across her face, very strong disappointment: What does Qian want Shuyuan to know?Why couldn't she say it in front of Jin Chengye——if it wasn't for Jin Chengye's arrival that she couldn't speak anymore, she wouldn't have looked disappointed.

Also, Mrs. Mu is not sure whether the disappointment on Qian's face is intentionally made to show her: this Qian is very untrustworthy.

Jin Chengye walked in: "Why did you come here?" He glanced at Qian's eyes with unconcealable disgust, resentment, anger...etc, and said, "You——!"

Qian kowtowed again and again: "The servant girl is just serving the young lady to offer incense to the ancestors."

Jin Chengye took a deep breath: "If you do something wrong again, hum." He didn't talk to Qian Shi any more, he stretched out his hand to grab Shuyuan's arm and left, never treated Shufa so rudely.
