pet marriage

Twilight was sinking, only a little sunset was shining on the blue tiles, a sedan chair was parked at the entrance of Shen's residence, the servant hurriedly stepped forward and opened the curtain, Shen Mingshu stepped out of the sedan chair, and stepped into the gate.

Her face is delicate and unobtrusive, but her slender eyes are bright and penetrating. At this time, her expression is indifferent, with a little tiredness in her brows and eyes, and she casually asks Shen Fu, "How is the master today? Have you eaten?" ?"

Shen Fu followed her towards the main courtyard, and said carefully: "Master is in good spirits today, he fished for a while by the lake in the afternoon, and the few fish he caught just happened to be dinner, and he ate a few more bites. "

"Very good." Shen Mingshu kept walking. At this time, Father Shen should digest food in the garden.

Shen Fu quickly followed her, and asked: "Is the young lady eating at the master's place?"

"Wait until I come out, you go down first."

Shen Mingshu had already seen those two familiar figures, gave a casual order, and then walked over, "Father."

The two people sitting not far away looked back, and the gray-haired middle-aged man sitting on the wooden chair showed a kind smile on his face, "I'm back." It was Shen's father, Shen Zhidong.

The young girl beside him also turned her head around, with a pink peony painted between her eyebrows, her face was bright and eye-catching, and her pair of red phoenix eyes were full of radiance when she looked at Shen Mingshu. He quickly covered it up, and said angrily, "Why have you been back for so long?"

Shen Mingshu smiled, "There was a temporary problem with the supply from Hezhou, so we stayed for two more days. Where's Qingjia?"

Shen Qingyue curled her lips, "Of course he went out to play with his friends."

Shen Qingyue and Shen Qingjia are twin twins. Although they are [-]% similar in appearance, they have different temperaments. Shen Qingyue is arrogant and reluctant to say many things directly, while Shen Qingjia is open-minded and open-minded. Have fun everywhere.

Father Shen looked at them cheerfully and laughed, "Qingyue has worked hard these past few days, and there will be a Xiangju meeting tomorrow, why not invite Ah Hui to go shopping together."

"Is eldest sister going?" Shen Qingyue's eyes lit up, looking at Shen Mingshu expectantly.

Shen Mingshu smiled and shook his head, "I'm afraid not. I've been away for a few days, so I'll naturally have to go to the shop tomorrow to have a look. You just have to play well."

Shen Qingyue stared at her and bit her lips, "If you don't go, you won't go." Then she snorted, and walked out of the garden quickly, so fast that only the corners of her clothes embroidered with delicate butterflies could be seen.

Shen Zhidong sighed, and said to the eldest daughter: "It won't matter if you miss a day, Qingyue has been worried about you these few days, this is not easy to coax."

Shen Mingshu didn't answer, sat down by the stone bench, poured himself a cup of tea, "Do you feel better these days?"

Shen Zhidong smiled helplessly, clenched his fist and lightly thumped his weak thigh, "It's not the same as before, I always feel that I will be able to find your mother soon." The smile on his face softened, "Are you still Remember what she looked like?"

Shen Mingshu's face remained calm, and he took a sip of the clear tea, "Of course I remember."

"It's been ten years in a blink of an eye, and you've worked hard these years." Shen Zhidong looked at his eldest daughter, with a lot of emotion in his similar eyes.

Ten years ago, his beloved wife passed away, and he took care of his three children. A few years later, when his business started to pick up, he became seriously ill. hand.

Father Shen's eyes fell on Shen Mingshu's bright and clean forehead, and he sighed secretly in his heart, or they missed the child, he pondered for a moment, and asked tentatively: "I heard from Shen Fu that Bao Xiucai still comes every day these few days Waiting for you in the store, I can see that he is quite sincere to you, you..."

Shen Mingshu raised his eyes and looked over, his eyes were clear, "I have no intentions for him." She stroked her smooth forehead, and said lightly: "This is my own choice, and I have never regretted it now."

The folk customs of the Great Wei Dynasty were open. In addition to men and women, women and men were also allowed to marry. The women were called Jin Lanqi, and one was called Qijie and the other was Qimei. The eyebrows of Qijie were not painted with flowers to distinguish them.

After hearing what she said, Shen Zhidong couldn't say the rest. He owed this child so much, so she could do the rest.

Shen Mingshu poured a cup of tea for Shen Zhidong, the two were sitting opposite each other and drinking, Shen Fu came in from the entrance of the garden, his footsteps hurried, "Master, the concierge received a letter for you."

"A letter?" Shen's father was a little puzzled. Since he stayed at home to recuperate from illness, he had less contact with the outside world, and it was even rarer to receive a letter. He took the envelope, "Who sent the letter?"

Shen Fu bowed his body and replied: "It's a traveling businessman, he handed the letter to the porter and left in a hurry."

"Really?" Father Shen cut the envelope, tilted it slightly, and half of the pendant fell into the palm of his hand along with the letter paper. Father Shen stared at the half jade pendant in his palm, frowned, and quickly opened the letter paper to check.

Shen Mingshu nodded to Shen Fu, indicating that he can go out.

Shen Fu bowed and left, Shen Mingshu looked at Father Shen, only to see his frown tightened, "But what's the matter?"

Father Shen finished reading the letter paper, and pulled out a marriage contract from the back, but there was a newcomer's name on it, but it was empty, Shen Mingshu only saw the other name, Luo Xin, it was a good name.

Father Shen sighed, and said: "I have to leave this matter to you." He handed the letter paper to Shen Mingshu.

Shen Ming stretched out the letter paper. This letter was written by a woman named Qiu Wanniang. She told the story of her miserable situation. She spoke earnestly and pleaded loudly. With a family recipe, she begged Shen's father to help her daughter find a For those who can be entrusted, there is no need to actually get married, as long as the daughter is brought out of the mansion.

Shen's father sighed and said: "Miss Wan was the daughter of an imperial cook in the early years. I had studied with that chef and knew a thing or two about her. Back then she married a scholar next door, and she was also a talented woman. When I left the capital, I only heard about this scholar jumping into the dragon's gate, thinking that she must have a good life, but I never expected to end up in such a situation."

Shen Mingshu looked at it, the value of the Luo family scholar doubled, was appreciated by an official, married his daughter to him, and then changed his wife into a concubine, Qiu Wanniang was not in good health, and after that she often fell ill, she just wanted to raise her daughter big.

However, when my daughter got older, she realized that her mind was lacking. She reacted slower than other children and learned things more slowly. Afterwards, her life in Luo Mansion was even more difficult. In recent years, Qiu Wanniang has been in poor health. Worried about this going, the simple and clumsy daughter will not get good care, so I come to Trust Gu.

"I once heard Mr. Qiu say that he left a fortune for Wan Niang and entrusted it to Lutong Bank for her and her children. I'm afraid Wan Niang is also worried that if he can't keep the money, he will harm his daughter." Shen Zhidong also has children, so he naturally understands Qiu Wanniang's situation.

"I'm afraid it won't be easy to do this." Father Shen looked at Shen Mingshu. Of course, he could send someone there, but it's better to ask Shen Mingshu's opinion first. Seeing Shen Mingshu staring slightly, he knew that she was thinking, so he asked Said: "Do you have any ideas?"

Shen Mingshu smiled slightly, took half of the jade pendant in his hand and the marriage contract, and looked at it carefully, the smile on his lips deepened, "It doesn't seem to say whether the other is a man or a woman."

She looked at Father Shen, saw that Father Shen opened his eyes slightly, and said without changing his expression: "I think this is a good idea, what does Father think?"
