Lucky not to forget

Chapter 32

Wuwang stood up, seeing the old lady's face stretched so long, he thought to himself that Xie Shenyan was really angry with the old lady this time, let's see how he will explain it.

The old lady Xie coughed and said in a deep voice, "Tell him to come in."

The maid opened the door curtain, Xie Shenyan came in with a bow, glanced sideways, wanted to start a conversation but didn't dare, with a half-smile on his face, it was very awkward to see.The old lady Xie snorted, and said coldly, "Where did you go all night yesterday? The people in the room looked bad, but you still had the heart to run outside, which shows that you are a ruthless person! This meeting What can you do, her natal brother is going to sue you at the Yamen!"

Xie Shen said, "It's the grandson's fault, which shocked the old lady. Wang Qiang is only doing it for money. If he wants to sue, he will sue. It's not that I killed his sister. She has been ill in bed for almost two years. How could she not want to die?" If she was going to live, I thought it was nothing to scare her this time, so I went out because of something outside, I didn't think she would really die, if I had known earlier, I would definitely have stayed at home."

The old lady Xie became even angrier when she heard this, and scolded, "Is there something going on outside? I see that you have gone to bed with someone who is not good. Your daughter-in-law can't control you, so she has to let you mess around. Now you are 24 Now, why are you still a child? People can't sue you, but do you want your reputation? You are a shameless person, and you have caused your father to make jokes with you. Thanks to you, you still dare to breathe. It's time to slap your mouth."

Xie Shenyan tilted his head and murmured, "If he wants to sue, just sue. Is it possible to give him money? I don't have a penny, so tell him to sue. If it doesn't work, I will instead sue him for blackmail and blackmail. He suffers."

"My sister died after only three years of marriage. If you don't explain to him well, you will make him suffer? Wasn't it you who looked at her at the beginning and begged and begged to bring him in? What is the end now? You It's also your son, and I'm so ashamed for you." The old lady picked up the teacup on the low table and threw it at the head, saying, "I will definitely tell you to beat you, you bastard, what do you take human life for? Although she is Concubine, at least I will serve you for a while, how about you? You don’t show any sadness at all, do you have a heart of iron and stone?"

The old lady Xie made such a big fuss, which instantly alarmed all the people in the yard. The old lady was always outside the door, and when she heard the movement, she was so frightened that her heart was broken, she ran in and beat her son a few times, saying, "You bastard, you made the old lady so angry, I'll see how you explain to your family when you get so angry, why don't you kneel down!"

Xie Shenyan was also frightened and stupid. Pushed by his mother, he knelt down with a plop, kowtowed and begged for mercy, "Old lady, I was wrong, I will definitely send her seriously when I turn around, and I won't pursue her brother's bastard. I hate that he went to Qinfang Garden without asking why, and almost shocked the old lady. Since the old lady has spoken, the grandson will not disobey, I just ask the old lady not to get angry, just beat me and scold me It's all done, let's take care of Sister Chun."

Wu Wang thought to himself, Shen Yan's cleverness has not changed at all, and he pulled her out to escort her when he couldn't bear it anymore. She looked good in the past, but now he is getting older, why is it even more useless? Seeing his unfeeling towards the people in the house, I despise him three points in my heart.

Mrs. Xie was persuaded by Wu Wang and the girls, and said in a calm manner, "You still have the face to mention your sister? Your sister was frightened by your fake uncle as soon as she entered the door. She traveled all the way. Come on, if you don’t say go to the pier to meet her, it’s nothing but making these dirty and smelly things, it’s useless for you to be an older brother.”

Xie Shenyan immediately reined in his horse's head and apologized to Wu Wang, "But did you scare my sister? Brother, I can't compensate you. I saw the sky on the pier a few days ago, and after counting the days, I think it will take another two days. On the first day, I was invited by a friend to go out for a drink, I didn’t want my concubine to go tonight, and this incident happened today, my brother really deserves to be frightened.”

Wu Wang said, "It's okay, I'm not surprised at all." Then he said to the old lady Xie, "For now, let the elder brother take care of Aunt Zhen's affairs, and I don't have to wait for this moment to punish him. Well, grandma let him go, why not keep him in the room."

Xie Shenyan saw her soft-spoken and soft-spoken, so he couldn't help but take a second look at her. He saw that she had icy muscles and bones, and she was born with a noble air. She looked like someone who was sent to another province, but like a female official in the palace who accompanied the princess and princess to study. Grateful, he blinked at her a few times.

Wu Wang was angry and funny, pretending he didn't see it, he still leaned over and stroked the old lady's chest, the old lady Xie saw that Shen Yan was like a monkey, thinking about it, he was his grandson, and he was an old man at home, so he didn't care. It was too harsh, and he said, "What are you winking for? For your sister's sake, I won't let you down right now. Get up and come back to me after finishing the matter. If I hear the slightest noise again, pay attention to me." Tell your father to expose your skin!"

Xie Shen said, "Yes." He bowed deeply to Wu Wang again, picked up his robe and hurried away.

The old lady Xie shook her head blindly, and sighed to the eldest lady, "Your son, you can't make progress in studies, and you only play with some crooked things. Why didn't you believe the thing you said a few years ago that you would donate to him as an official? I think It’s better to be careful, and if he finds an official position, he can calm down. If that little cleverness is used on the right path, there may be something to do.”

Bai said, "Isn't the master not coming back at this hour just because of this matter? You should learn some rules. The old lady has taught you a lot." Standing, neither happy nor sad, like an old monk in meditation, he said to Mrs. Xie, "I think our sister is a knowledgeable one. I don't know who will be lucky in the future."

The old lady Xie also nodded, at this time Wu's girl opened the door curtain and came in, blessedly said, "Old lady, our second wife invited the girl over, everything is ready, please go and see if you are satisfied, If there is something bad, it can be replaced immediately.”

The old lady Xie straightened Wuwang's collar and said, "Then you go, I will send someone to call you at noon."

Wu Wang said, "I'll have lunch at the second wife's place. I'll come over again in the evening. The old lady must be tired. Let's take a rest."

The old lady Xie reluctantly let go, and told the girl, "Lead the girl around Taihuating, don't go past the uncle's garden, it's not clean after death, I'd rather go far away, don't collide with anything."

The little girl said, "Yes."

Wuwang saluted and exited, Liu'er had been waiting for a long time, saw her rushing over, and whispered, "I know, the rules in this house are really strict, you really have to be very careful in the future, no Someone has to take care of it and send me elsewhere."

Wu Wang poked her on the forehead and said, "Didn't I tell you that I must have been reprimanded just now, the Lord who doesn't cry when he sees the coffin!"

The old lady Xie sent her maidservants from the porch, including Mrs. Zhou and Cuiping, and sent another maid named Yuhua and two rough envoys, and the group went to Wu's Yingou Garden. .

The Xie family was originally an old family of poetry and calligraphy. It flourished at the end of the Northern Yuan Dynasty and survived the chaos of war. Although it was suppressed during the Hongwu period, it was fortunate that the foundation was deep and it did not fail. After some repairs, the pavilions, terraces and pavilions are exquisite and ingenious, with unique charm.Don't hope to follow them through the shade of the rockery. I still vaguely have some childhood memories. I only remember that to the left of Taihuating Pavilion is Jufeng Garden. .When passing around the foot of the Taihuating Pavilion, the wooden fish in the Jufeng Garden were beating loudly, and Wu Wang said, "We have already started doing rituals."

Cuiping said, "I've just gotten into it, and Aunt Zhen's brother is really interesting. He will send it out later, and ask the uncle to carry the dead person into the coffin himself. A group of people and their corpses will be sent to Yizhuang, and then people will stop."

Another little girl said, "I heard that the uncle promised him 100 taels of silver, so it's not a big deal. After all, money can pass through the gods."

Mrs. Zhou said, "No, Aunt Zhen's natal brother is a bad gambler and owes a whole life of debts. This time, when the girl died, she got another fortune. She was so happy that she took the money and left, regardless of her future affairs. How did you cook it, is it funny or not!"

"Don't talk about it, it's scary." Yuhua said, "The old lady asked to go around because she was afraid that it would be dirty, but you talked more freely, carefully scaring the girl and the old lady to blame."

The few people hurriedly shut their mouths when they heard this, and continued to move forward with protection. After another fifty steps or so, two teenagers came across, one was wearing a silver plate embroidered with longevity patterns, and the other was wearing a blue forged casual clothes. They were all tall, but Wang looked carefully and guessed that the older one must be Shen Xing from the second uncle's family, and the younger one was Shen Du from the third uncle's family.

Those two people walked up to her and stood still, smiled and glanced at each other, bowed together and bowed to Wuwang, and said, "Meet my sister! How is my sister?"

Wang Wang was overjoyed in his heart, and quickly returned the courtesy, "I've met my second brother, I've seen my third brother!"

Shen Xing, Bai Jing's gentle face showed admiration, and said with a smile, "Sister Chun'er really has a good memory, and she still recognizes me after all these years."

Shen Du said, "Since that's the case, it's not in vain that I was pushed into the lake by you that year."

Wu Wang blushed and said, "Why are you so narrow-minded! Who told you to always pull my hair at that time, and naturally I pushed you when I was in pain."

Shen Xing said, "Where are you going?"

Wu Wang said, "I'll go to your mother's place, and I will live in Yingou Bieyuan from now on."

Shen Xing nodded and said, "Very good, please help my younger sister to take care of my mother. I don't live with her now, and I don't usually live with her. I was worried that she would be alone, but my younger sister just happened to be here."

Shen Du jokingly said, "Isn't that right, if the second elder brother wants the wind and the rain, if he wants someone to be with the second aunt, he will come to Sister Chun."

Shen Xing pushed him and said, "Does your skin itch after you haven't been beaten for a few days?"

"What's the matter? Are you an official from the imperial court who wants to bully the good people?" Shen Du jumped up, "In the past you beat me and I admitted it, but now it's not the case. You tell my sister that he just released the sixth-rank general sentence today. , not to mention helping my younger brother, but you still want to beat me, what is the reason for this?" The two brothers twisted into a ball while talking.

Wu Wang said, "Shut up, it's hot. But is it settled?"

Shen Xing nodded again, he was a young man, he was naturally in high spirits, pushed the dog like a plaster, Shen Du said seriously, "I'm going to announce the good news to the grandfather and the old lady."

The maids and women behind Wuwang all saluted and congratulated, Shen Xing responded with a smile, Shen Du said, "You go, I won't go when I meet Sister Chun, you have something to repay, I just follow my father to do business, Apart from earning money, there is nothing to reward, so let’s go to Second Aunt’s with my sister to ask for a glass of water.”

Wu Wang said, "Didn't you go to help uncle take care of things in Jufeng Garden?"

Shen Du wiped his sweat and said, "Big brother is back, he will naturally handle the rest by himself. I saw that sister-in-law Zhen really committed crimes, she was so skinny, I didn't want to stay there for a moment, and got out."

Shen Xing frowned, complaining in his heart that Shen Du was not holding back, and said in a deep voice, "You go first, I will come back to look for you after I went to Qinfang Garden, and talk to you in the garden if I have something to say."

After hearing this, Shen Du pulled Wuwang and ran away, saying as he ran, "Let's go, Sister-in-law Zhen just died, so there's no need for bad luck."
