A happy event in a fertile field: the black-bellied husband is as beautiful as a flower

Chapter 794 Secret
On New Year's Eve, before going out, Mrs. Xia greeted Meng Yan and said, "I want to go to Chen Fang's house first. Although he is not here, the whole house should be cleaned up."

There are a lot of people in the palace, so there is no need for Mrs. Xia to worry about it for now, so Meng Yan nodded, looked at the cloak that Mrs. Xia brought out of the yard, and said without saying anything, "Mother, go early and return early."

Seeing her at a loss, Mrs. Xia said awkwardly: "I'll have time later, I want to take this back and return it."

Meng Yan said: "Mother can hurry back to eat the New Year's Eve dinner."

Monkey Bugui was very familiar with Xu Shenfang's house, so when Sui Xia went out, it also went with him.

When she arrived at Xu Shenfang's house, the housekeeper and servants rushed to welcome her in.

Even if she doesn't come, the whole house will have to be cleaned up.

Xia Shi said, "I'm here to help."

The housekeeper said: "The old slave has already arranged for the servants to do these things. It's rare for the madam to come here. Go and sit in the hall."

After Mrs. Xia sat in the hall for a while, the housekeeper served tea.

It's just that she didn't sit for long, Monkey Bugui couldn't be idle, so he dragged her to the backyard for a walk.

The thick sycamore tree in the yard has lost all its leaves, leaving only bare branches.The branches were all smoothed by the Monkey Bugui.

Hou Bugui jumped around on it, climbed down again, grabbed Xia's clothes and went to Xu Shenfang's study.

When it entered the study, it climbed up to the side of the couch, stretched out its paws and opened the window to let fresh air flow in.

Then it squatted down in front of the desk where Xu Shenfang often sat, Lao Cheng opened an account book and pretended to read it, making Xia Shi laugh again and again.

Xia family knew that it was imitating Xu Shenfang's daily behavior in this study.

Xia said: "No return, don't make trouble, come quickly, don't mess up Chen Fang's desk."

Monkey Bugui scratched his head, his eyes were full of innocence and joy, he looked as if he wanted to present a treasure to Xia family, so that Xia family could see its usual life trajectory with Xu Shenfang here.

Xia Shi called it, and although it jumped off the seat, it didn't return to Xia Shi's side.

It slanted its head to the side of the bookshelf, and touched a blue-glazed vase on the display stand with its claws. There was a base under the vase, and it moved its two claws to the base. Xia Shi did not expect that the base could be turned. of.

After Monkey Bugui turned the base for half a turn, the two rows of bookshelves opened to both sides, leaving a space in the middle.

Seeing this, Xia was stunned.

She originally thought that behind this mechanism was Xu Shenfang's secret compartment for storing some important things, but she was accidentally discovered by Houbugui.

But in fact, there are no hidden compartments. When the bookshelf is opened, there is a wall in the middle, and a picture hangs on the wall.

Xia Shi saw that there was a woman in the painting, she couldn't see her face, only her back, walking on a country road.

On both sides of the road, there are sorghums that are about to be cooked.The plump tassels of sorghum bent the pole.

There seems to be a wind in the painting, and Xia can't help recalling that in the sunny and cloudless weather, the breeze blows the sorghum leaves and makes a pleasant sound.

Her long hair hangs down to her waist, and her skirt flutters lightly. Just by looking at her back, one can imagine her smiling face in front of her. The pen and ink are full of spirit and vitality.

It made Xia feel inexplicably familiar.

Monkey Bugui leaned against the table, staring at the painting, expressing to Mrs. Xia that many times in the past, Xu Shenfang leaned on the desk and stared at the person in the painting.

Xia looked at it carefully for a long time, moved the corners of his mouth uncertainly, and finally said: "No return, close the bookshelf."

Monkey Bugui turned the base again, and the two rows of bookshelves slowly closed together.

The content presented in that picture scroll became narrower and narrower until it was completely blocked by the bookshelf.

Xia Shi stretched out his hand towards Bugui, and Bugui obediently jumped over and grabbed Xia Shi's hand.

Xia led it out and said softly: "If you don't return, you can't show this to anyone in the future, do you know?"

Monkey Bugui scratched his head, half understanding.

Xia patted its head and sighed again: "If Chen Fang comes back and finds you messing with his things, he will definitely beat you."

After leaving the study, Xia Shi turned around and closed the door.When the door was closed, she looked up again, and took another look at the direction of the bookshelf.

Monkey did not return and took her to another place for a stroll.

Xu Shenfang's bedroom is very tidy, even a little deserted.Through the window, you can see the sycamore trees in the courtyard.

In his yard, apart from the study and bedroom, there are one or two vacant rooms, which are useless and are usually used to pile up some things.

Hou Bugui opened one of the rooms where things were piled up, waved to Mrs. Xia excitedly, and told her to come and have a look.

Xia Shi walked over helplessly, looked into the room, and was taken aback again.

I saw that the floor of the room was neatly arranged, filled with square objects one after another.She recognized that these were fireworks that hadn't been set off yet.

Monkey Bugui imitated the sound of setting off fireworks, as if there were fireworks blooming in front of his eyes. After rising to a high altitude, he let out a "bang" in his mouth, and then gestured in mid-air with both hands.

At this time, the housekeeper didn't see Mrs. Xia in the hall, so he found the backyard.

Seeing Mrs. Xia standing in front of the door where the fireworks were piled up, he looked a little secretive, and said: "So Madam is here."

Xia Shi turned around and asked, "Why are there so many fireworks here?"

The housekeeper said: "Young master likes to be lively, and these will be released tonight when the New Year's Eve is observed."

Xia family was thoughtful, and said: "In previous years, did you release it every year?"

The butler replied: "It is released every year. Although the young master is not at home this year, he has told us that the New Year's atmosphere must not be lacking."

Xia Shi didn't ask any more questions.

She saw that the housekeeper took care of everything in the house in an orderly manner, so she didn't need to worry about it at all.After thinking about it, she asked the housekeeper to prepare a carriage, and left the carriage of the palace here temporarily.

The butler said, "Madam, are you going somewhere else?"

Xia Shi nodded, the butler was also transparent, knowing that since she wanted to change a carriage, the guards from the palace would definitely not accompany her, so she arranged for two attendants who knew kung fu to be the coachmen.

Following Xia's guidance, the attendant drove to the private house.

Here, Ah Shuo is scolding the Marquis of Shang. He has been in the Yin country for so many days, and he has only met him once in total. Can't he find a reasonable reason to make more appointments with him?
Shang Hou was also very annoyed by the reading, and said: "Tell me, what is a reasonable reason?"

A Shuo said: "Last time, you shouldn't have given her all the special products we brought. You might as well not give them at all or only give half of them. Isn't it logical to invite her to get the rest this time?"

Shanghou supported his forehead and said, "I'm not as scheming as you."

A Shuo said: "Just wait, I'll go to the street to do some shopping, and I'll ask Madam over here."

As a result, as soon as Ah Shuo came out of the courtyard, he saw Mrs. Xia walking towards him, and thought he was dazzled.
