Then there is no more

Soon came the second day.

There are also rules on how family members bid farewell to exiled prisoners.There is a dilapidated pavilion outside the city called Sigui Pavilion, where the exile team only stopped for a while.If you want to have a word or two with the prisoner, you have to wait in the Sigui Pavilion in advance.The Shen family came early.Shen Yi's sister-in-law, Yu Shi, has recovered a lot after taking the medicine prescribed by the imperial physician. She wanted to come here wholeheartedly, so Shen Yi specially hired a sedan chair for her.

Yu's pregnancy is unstable, so it is better to stay at home.But as soon as Shen Si was exiled, the family would be reunited. How could she sit at home?It's really not her waywardness.Mrs. Su would rather protect her daughter-in-law carefully, but did not say anything to keep Mrs. Yu at home.

Every time the prisoners were exiled, they were in batches, but at this moment, apart from the Shen family, there were only two or three people waiting in the Sigui Pavilion.This is because most of the prisoners deserve what they have done, and most of them have deserted their relatives, and their family members are afraid of being implicated by them, so there is no time to hide.

The innocent and the guilty were exiled together, and the Shen family felt very complicated.

After waiting and waiting, the exile team finally arrived.

Shen Deyuan and Shen Si haven't been able to wash up properly for several days, their bodies are dirty and torn.Su shi supported Yu shi, tears immediately came down.The former Mr. Pianpian was as gentle as jade, but now he has been spoiled like this!And this kind of life, I don't know when it will be a head!

Shen Deyuan and Shen Si looked at their family greedily, with tears in their eyes.

Shen Yi seized the time to give the officials some money, and said good things to them, not asking them to take care of Shen Deyuan and Shen Si during the exile, but asking them not to treat them too harshly.Then Shen Yi stuffed the two big burdens to her father and brother, and said with red eyes: "Father, brother, when the family affairs are settled, I will go to the south to visit you. You must take care of your health. This letter is for Tong En County magistrate Yao..."

Because we didn't have much time to get together, Shen Yi hurriedly told about Nan Lu's situation, and then focused on introducing Yao County Magistrate.

After Shen Yi finished talking about the important matter, and before Su Shi and Yu Shi could whisper a few words to their husbands, the officials yelled to go on the road.Yu clung to Meditation's hand tightly, and couldn't stop crying. As the team marched, the two hands separated a little bit, and finally they couldn't hold each other anymore.

Yu Shi lay on Su Shi's body and wept into tears.

Shen Yi looked at the back of her father and brother, unwilling to even blink her eyes.Because, when we meet again, we don’t know when it will be.

When the team was completely out of sight, Mrs. Su persuaded her daughter-in-law to get on the sedan chair, and told Shen Yi to go back.Shen Yi suddenly felt a sense of exhaustion.This kind of exhaustion is psychological exhaustion, as long as the Shen family's predicament remains unsolved, as long as Shen Deyuan and Shen Si are wronged, this exhaustion will not disappear.There was an invisible burden on Shen Yi's shoulders.Such a weight may be able to wear out young people, right?But life still has to go on.

On the way back to the city, Shen Yi ran into Baolai.

When Shen Yi went to Anpingbo's Mansion for the first time, Baolai had seen Shen Yi before, so he could recognize Shen Yilai.

Baolai was followed by a dark-skinned middle-aged man, and there was another team behind the middle-aged man.Baolai bowed to Shen Yi and said: "Mr. Shen, stay a step! This is the shopkeeper Qiu of Wanjin Trading Company. He is going to deliver goods to the south this time. If he follows the team of officials, he should be able to get some benefits."

Bian Jingyu's ancestral Zulu family is an imperial merchant, and Wanjin Trading Company is the property of the Lu family.Bora often deals with people outside and is very good at talking.The meaning in his words sounds like he is saying at first glance that shopkeeper Qiu is going to do business in the south, which happens to be in the same direction as the exile team. By robbing officials, they will have a smooth journey.

But in fact, with such a large property as the Wanjin Commercial Bank, there are many priests and health servants in the commercial bank, and they have already taken care of it along the way, so why are they afraid of being robbed?The reason why they followed the ranks of officials was because Bian Jingyu asked them to take care of Shen Deyuan and his son.

Although the team of official messengers and the team of merchants cannot be mixed together, the supply points of the two on the road are the same.Wherever the official sentry team wants to settle down at night, their caravan can go there.At that time, give some money to the officials, and they will always find a chance to send some hot food and clean boiled water to Shen Deyuan and his son.With the care of the caravan, Shen Deyuan and his son should be safe along the way.

Shen Yi understood Baolai's words, and hurriedly bowed to shopkeeper Qiu.

Shopkeeper Qiu avoided it, and said: "It's just a matter of cannibalism and loyalty."

Shen Yi's heart is warm when she thinks about Bian Jingyu.

When Su Shi and Yu Shi knew about this, they were so grateful that they didn't know what to do.From the verdict until now, people from Anpingbo Mansion have been taking care of their family.It is precisely because of the help of Anpingbo Mansion that their family can tide over the difficulties and look forward to the day of reunion in the future.

Shopkeeper Qiu led the team away.

Baolai and Shen Yi went to the city together.Baolai said again: "I don't know if Mr. Shen will be free in half a month. My son will take a rest that day..."

Shen Yi hurriedly said, "I'm free, I'm free!"

From this day on, the life of the Shen family has calmed down.Su is busy taking care of her daughter and daughter-in-law.The child Shen Qiaoniang gave birth to was a little weak due to premature birth, and everyone dared not name her, for fear that she would be remembered by Hades, so they only called her Nier.While holding Nier, Shen Yi was thinking about ways to make money.Before, they spent a lot of money on running around, and the family also needed money to take medicine, and the house was gradually empty.

Scholars who want to make money usually copy books or sell calligraphy and paintings.

But the money from copying books is too little, and selling calligraphy and paintings requires fame. If Shen Yi wants to make more money, she needs to think of other ideas.

When Shen Yi gradually had an idea in her heart, the day for Bian Jingyu to rest and take a bath would arrive.

The two made an appointment to meet in a restaurant.Probably in order to show that she is frank and honest and has no dishonest thoughts, Bian Jingyu reserved a seat on the second floor of the restaurant by the side window, and did not reserve a separate private room.This is actually a manifestation of guilty conscience, Bian Jingyu treats Shen Yi differently from others.If he invites ordinary classmates and friends to a party, he will often choose a small private room. Once the door is closed, the inside will become a small world of its own.On the contrary, he chose a public place to gather with someone like Shen Yi who had a marriage contract.

The two arrived around the same time.

Bian Jingyu recruited Xiao Er to order food, and while waiting for Xiao Er to serve the food, a romantic idea suddenly popped up in Shen Yi's heart.

candlelight dinner!

What a romantic candlelight dinner!

Candlelight dinners are standard for dates!Although their meeting this time cannot be called a date.

At this time, most people eat two meals a day, but some people eat three meals a day, with three meals in the morning and noon.It's noon now, not dinner, so the candlelight lunch should be the same, right?Shen Yi suddenly stood up and said, "I...I have something to tell Xiaoer, I'll go and talk to him."

Bian Jingyu thought that Shen Yi was going to make some requests to Xiao Er, such as using less onion and ginger, so she let him go.

Shen Yi ran to the stairs, called Xiao Er to him, gave him some instructions, and gave him some money.

Xiao Er didn't seem to understand Shen Yi's request.But in his line of work, he has met a lot of strange customers, and it is always what the customers say.For the sake of money, Xiaoer patted his chest and said, "Well, please wait for the guest, the little custodian has been found for you as required."

Shen Yi ran back.Bian Jingyu noticed that the tips of Shen Yi's ears started to turn red again.

Bian Jingyu hurriedly lowered her head and poured a glass of water, pushed it to Shen Yi first, then poured a glass for herself, and then asked, "What are your plans for the future?"

Shen Yi's eyes were clear, and she said: "I just want to take care of my family now, don't make them feel wronged. Then I will save some money. If my father and brother don't come back in a short time, I will wait a year or two." , I always go to the south to see them.” Therefore, it is absolutely impossible without money.

Bian Jingyu lowered her head and thought for a while, and felt that Shen Yi's idea was very good, so his words that wanted to make Shen Yi feel at ease in studying suddenly became a little hard to say.After Shen Deyuan and Shen Si were exiled, Shen Yi was the only male in the family. If he didn't want to find ways to support his family, would he ask women to support his family?Not to mention that Mrs. Su has reached the age when she should be pampered, Shen Yi's elder sister and sister-in-law are still young, one of them has to take care of a frail child, and the other is about to give birth, so they both need to be taken care of. Where can I work so hard?

Bian Jingyu had no choice but to say, "It's not bad that you think so."

Shen Yi smiled, and said: "Actually, there are many things I want to do..." I want to pacify the Shen family, I want to find out who the person who changed the place of exile is, I want to revitalize the Shen family... But, Lu It came out little by little, and all he can do now is to move forward step by step and not to retreat.

"Take your time..." Bian Jingyu comforted dryly.

The chef of the restaurant was very quick, and the food came out after the two chatted for a long time.First came the cold dishes, then the hot dishes, and finally a pot of gnocchi soup.Bian Jingyu was just about to say that the dishes are ready, why don't you move your chopsticks first.The shop waiter ran up from downstairs again, and ran to their table.

Bian Jingyu looked at the second child.Xiao Er took out a candle from his pocket.

There are many kinds of candles at this time.Poor people make candles by themselves. One of the raw materials is animal fat, but they are reluctant to use fat to make it all. They have to add other cheap materials. After cooking for a period of time, it becomes a very strong taste. candle oil.This kind of candle is very inferior, and when it is lit, it smells very strong, and it will make people dizzy after smelling it for a while.Rich people will naturally not use it.They generally use beeswax and white wax.Among them, white wax is processed from the things secreted after the white wax worms parasitic on the white wax tree eat the sap.It is white.

What the shop waiter took out was white wax.Shen Yi asked the waiter to buy candles. Anyway, it was Shen Yi who paid for it, and the waiter specially picked out the good ones.

"What is this for?" Bian Jingyu asked.

The shop waiter looked at Shen Yi.

Shen Yi hurriedly said: "I asked him to do it... I heard that there is a candlelight lunch in a foreign place. If the two of you have a deep friendship, you can have a candlelight lunch together." I was very embarrassed, so I had to look away and only stared at the candle that the waiter took out.

The waiter quickly lit the candle and stood it on the table.

When the sun was shining at noon, Bian Jingyu and Shen Yi had lunch with candles in the bright lobby.

Regarding Shen Yi's statement about the candlelight lunch, Bian Jingyu was skeptical.He is also a well-read person, why haven't he seen such a strange statement?He thought it was made up by Shen Yi.Therefore, Bian Jingyu only thought about it in another way.Where are white candles mostly used?In the Bian family, the ancestral hall is made of high-quality white wax.When it was time to worship the ancestors, the candles were lit, and the ancestral hall was illuminated extremely brightly.Even in normal times, the ancestral hall cannot be kept dark, and the white wax is also kept day and night, but the amount ordered is not as much as that used when worshiping the ancestors.

The white wax for the ancestors... If Bian Jingyu and Shen Yi don't deal with each other, Bian Jingyu may doubt Shen Yi's intentions. Is this to curse him to die early?But Bian Jingyu never thinks bad about Shen Yi.As a result, Bian Jingyu's face gradually showed a toothache-like expression.

Could it be that he is implying to me that he wants to respect me as an ancestor? ? ?
