Solitary pet

Chapter 1

The surface of the sparkling river was covered with a layer of veil-like mist, entangled with the coldness of the night.In the distance, there is a faint light gradually approaching, and a single shadow in the shape of an ebony boat floats on the river.

He Sheng pouted his chin to look at the night scene on both sides of the river, and calculated the remaining distance.From Wangjing to Suzhou and Hangzhou via Nanzhou, it took half a month to walk on an ordinary dirt road. They took the waterway and estimated that they would arrive in ten days.

The maid Cuiyu started to get seasick again, He Sheng poured her a cup of tea, Cuiyu took it gratefully.

After drinking tea, He Sheng took out an incense ball from the suitcase and handed it over for her to smell.Danggui slices are contained, but it has no effect at all, and I will not be able to find a doctor for a while. If I continue to vomit like this, I guess my body will not be able to bear it for a long time.

"This fragrance is very well tuned. I usually feel sleepy and tired. I smell it and feel refreshed. Try it too."

Cuiyu didn't dare to pick it up, how could a servant dare to take things from her master.Unable to bear He Sheng's insistence, he took it and put it under the tip of his nose to sniff, then hurriedly sent it back.

She should be born like this.It's only been a month since Hesheng married into Wei's house, and Cuiyu, as the maidservant who has just been assigned to take care of her, has not enjoyed the honor of being a maidservant for a few days, so she is going to leave home to Shenghu with her.Although Suzhou and Hangzhou are prosperous, they are not as prosperous and luxurious as Wangjing. More importantly, there are no familiar family and friends here.

He Sheng thought about it, and sighed involuntarily.

She was very happy when she married into the Wei family.The Wei family is a big family in Wangjing, although it is not as solid as other families, but the family business is huge, and the brothers in the clan are forging ahead, so they can be regarded as rising stars.

She married the Second Master Wei of the Wei family's direct line, the Wei Shilang's family.It stands to reason that with the background of the Yao family, no matter what, they are not worthy of the Wei family.Not to mention that the Yao family does not have any official titles, her father was a businessman, a scholar, a farmer, a businessman, one was at the front and the other was at the bottom, the Wei family had absolutely no reason to look at her.When the Wei family came to propose marriage, the Yao family was so surprised that they could stuff eggs.

He Sheng never thought of marrying into a wealthy family. Although Yao's family is not a rich family, they still have enough food and clothing. It is enough to find an honest person to guard him for the rest of his life.Second Master Wei, she had heard people say that he was a gentleman with good looks, good family background, good looks, capable of both literature and martial arts, he could be called a good son-in-law.Such a person is enough to find a daughter of the noble Houmen family as his wife, but why should he marry her?

On the second day after the marriage, He Sheng knew the reason for the marriage - Wei Erye had a serious illness a few months ago, seeing that he was not recovering, he needed to find someone to cheer him up.She didn't even meet Second Master Wei, so she became the widowed Second Grandma Wei.

Coming to Suzhou and Hangzhou this time was also an order from the elders of the Wei family, and even the etiquette of keeping filial piety was exempted.Within a month, after the weddings and funerals, the mood of the Wei family did not fluctuate much. Before He Sheng entered the house, they prepared the coffin of Second Master Wei.

The Yao family is different.From great joy to great sorrow, the daughter who was brought up with great difficulty has not yet had time to witness her joy of being a wife and even the excitement of being a mother, and she has become a living tool for joy.Although the current fashion does not exclude remarriage, with the power of the Wei family, He Sheng will never have the chance to remarry in his life other than being a Second Grandma Wei who is at the mercy of others.

The faces of the Yao family seemed to have been severely slapped, and Yao's father was so angry that he jumped up and shouted to report to the police.But what's the benefit of reporting to the official? As ordinary people, the Yao family can never beat the Wei family of the aristocratic family?In the end, it didn't hurt He Sheng.

He Sheng wanted to comfort Yao's father, but before she could write a letter with her family, the Wei family sent her to Shenghu. They did not say when she would return, but sent two servants to escort her. They only said that they would pick her up later. He told him not to reveal his identity when he arrived at Shenghu, but to say that he was the cousin of the Wei family.

As if her existence was so shameful.He Sheng felt that it didn't matter, since this life was just like this anyway, it would be better to live happily than to think about those useless things.

She came to Suzhou and Hangzhou with her mother when she was young. At that time, lotus flowers were in full bloom, and the fragrance of lotus flowers was everywhere in Shenghu City.A Niang took her and her younger brother to Shenghu to visit relatives and stayed for a full month. When they returned, the clothes on their bodies seemed to still be stained with the fragrance of the water town.

It was at that time that Hesheng’s love for fish was buried. The fish in Shenghu is tender and sweet. Thin slices of boiled fish are dipped in bean paste and garlic sauce, served with spicy pickles, and he eats two large bowls of white rice. No problem.

The climate in the north is dry all year round, and there are no rivers and lakes. It is not easy to eat a meal of fish.During the holidays, Hesheng can quench the thirst of "fish".

It's all right now, she has come to Suzhou and Hangzhou, and she can eat fish every meal in the future.

He Sheng came back to his senses, he was a little hungry, and Cuiyu next to him was still groggy from vomiting.Not far away was Quanzhou Port, and He Sheng softly ordered the boatman to come to the shore to rest for a while.

It coincides with the Lantern Festival in the town, and every household lights up lanterns to pray for blessings. There is no curfew today, and the streets are full of people.Hesheng put on a light gauze hat, and Cuiyu was afraid that she would catch a cold, so she pulled up a thin moon-white beanie and followed her step by step.

"Go for a stroll with Uncle Liu. Wait for me at the pier in an hour. I'll take Cuiyu to the doctor."

The boy and boatman Liu Bo looked at each other, hesitated for a few seconds, and nodded in response.This Second Mistress has no pretensions, and is very friendly. Although there are many people here, the law and order in Suzhou and Hangzhou has always been very good, and with Cuiyu with her, it shouldn't be a problem for them to play for an hour.

Cuiyu stepped forward, "Grandma, you can't indulge them like this, in case..."

He Sheng winked at her, "You shouted wrong again."

Cuiyu quickly changed her words, when she came out of Wei's house, Mrs. Wei ordered that when they arrived at Shenghu, they could only call Hesheng "Second Lady" and not "Second Grandma".

He Sheng walked forward, saying: "They were trapped on the boat for four or five days, and they finally got free. They should have a good rest. When I was at home, I sold goods to my father before. You follow me, come out It's okay."

In a small town in April, the air smells like rivers and rivers, neither hot nor cold, and the breeze blowing on the face feels refreshing.The people on the street were noisy and lively, and for a moment, it was like returning to Wangjing, where singing and dancing day and night was peaceful.

He Sheng walked on the gravel road, his steps were brisk, and the light gauze at the bottom of the veiled hat swayed in the wind.Cuiyu followed her, looking at her looming side face through the light veil, her skin was as creamy and beautiful as peaches and plums, no wonder the second master on the sick bed shouted that he must marry her.Such a beauty is good even if you keep it by your side.If the second master hadn't gotten sick, he and the second lady would be a match made in heaven.
