Even the carvings where hundreds of children were playing in spring were painted with a layer of tea stains.
A few gray magpies fell on the roof of the pavilion. From a distance, Shen Bozhong could only see the shadows of a few birds beaked against the red and purple glowing sky, pecking at each other with their beaks and flapping their wings.
Shen Baizhong didn't know how long he followed the servants of the Princess' Mansion. It was not until dusk that the sheepskin lanterns under the corridor of the Princess' Mansion were lit up one by one, and then he arrived in front of Bai Qishan's study room.
Several servants were guarding outside the door of Baiqishan's study, and their faces were red by the clear lights.
Shen Bozhong was not invited to enter, so he had to stand outside the door and look inside. He always felt that this place... was inseparable from his past.
Shen Baizhong stood in the courtyard... His eyes looked through the open partition, looking at the brightly lit study room, and a picture of a cold plum hanging on the wall facing the door. Shen Baizhong felt inexplicably familiar, and raised his foot and was about to go in, but
He was stopped by the loyal servants of the Bai family.
He stood at the door and looked at the picture of the cold plum blossoms swaying among the lights.
"I can't give you this cold plum picture. Although it is written by Brother Bai Zhong, this cold plum picture... but my wife of Bai Qishan! Brother Bai Zhong should ask for something else! It would be better to do this...
...Brother Bai Zhong finally came to Dadu once and stayed in Dadu for a few more days. I will ask someone to arrange a residence for you. Most of the guards in the mansion have retreated from the Bai family army. I will ask Butler Hao to pick a few people to accompany you
Take a good walk in the capital city and choose some fashionable jewelry for your wife. I will take my account and give it to you for my sister-in-law. It is also considered that Brother Bai Zhong has not come in vain."
A young man with kind eyes suddenly appeared in Shen Bozhong's mind. He clearly felt familiar, but he really couldn't remember who it was. He just felt that respect was born from his heart.
"It's the busy farming season. My wife is young and not good at managing farmland. Ye Niang is old again. I have to rush back to help Ye Niang manage it. Let's talk about how many months this time I'm out. I still don't know if the little monkey Ruohai has any.
Teach Qingzhu well..."
Shen Bozhong suddenly covered his heart and remembered that he once said this and mentioned his wife's clumsy and joyful state of mind.
lady……
He seemed to have forgotten something extremely important, such as his wife.
"How disparity between you and me is so great? When did I care about my status? So what if I am older, I don't care! You are clearly happy with me. I dare to give up my glory and wealth for you. Why don't you dare to marry me?
?!"
Shen Bozhong suddenly held Zhuqihongzhu, feeling his headache and heartache.
"Master!"
As soon as Shen Qingzhu entered the door, she saw Shen Baizhong holding Zhuqihongzhu with a look of pain. The Bai servant beside her supported Shen Baizhong and shouted that someone would come over to bring the stool.
Shen Qingzhu couldn't help but rush over and pushed away the servant who was supporting Shen Baizhong. His eyes were red and he looked at Shen Baizhong who was already covered in silver threads. Tears were like a spring: "Master! Master, I am Qingzhu!"
Shen Bozhong looked up, his eyes filled with red bloodshots looked at Shen Qingzhu, his forehead covered with fine sweat.
The big girl Shen Qingzhu in front of her coincided with the little girl who was practicing swords in the snow when she was a child who looked stubborn and had a cold face. Shen Baizhong's lips were silenced.
Shen Qingzhu knelt down at Shen Baizhong, and cried like a child. Her words were full of sourness and her nasal sound was strong: "Master! Master! Why did you become like this? Why did your hair turn white like this? Master...
”
Holding Bai Qingyan's shoulder and landing on the ground, Bai Qingyan stood up with Zhenming's hand, holding the hand stove in one hand and walked towards his father's study.
Shen Bozhong was at a loss, not knowing whether to reach out to help Shen Qingzhu up or turn around and leave immediately, his heart was in a mess.
"Master!" Shen Qingzhu walked forward and hugged Shen Baizhong's waist, crying even more sadly, "Qingzhu is sorry to Master! Qingzhu was unable to take good care of Master's wife. Master's wife thought that Master was gone... so... went with her! It was Qingzhu
It was Qingzhu who didn’t watch the teacher’s wife, but she was sorry for her master! She was entrusted by her master!”
When Shen Bozhong heard this, he felt as if he was suddenly hit by lightning. He covered his heart with one hand and his head with the other, his eyes were bloodshot, and his heart felt like he was stirred by countless sharp blades, so painful that he could not breathe, and he immediately became angry.
Seeing this, Bai Qingyan shouted to the servant: "Helm him!"
A stream of fishy sweetness rushed to his throat. Shen Baizhong suddenly spit out a mouthful of blood, opened his eyes wide and fell backwards.
"Master!"
Amid Shen Qingzhu's scream, the Bai family servant supported Shen Baizhong who almost fell to the ground.
"Go and invite Miss Ji and the doctor in the palace to come here! Hurry!" Bai Qingyan turned around and ordered Mingzhen.
"Yes!" Mingzhen responded quickly and quickly left.
"Please help the person into a side room first!" Bai Qingyan ordered.
Shen Qingzhu followed Shen Baizhong and walked into the side room, full of anxiety.
Bai Qingyan stood under the beacon of the corridor, holding the hand stove in both hands, looking at the darkening sky above the city, and asked the manager beside him: "Have the people from the Zuo Prime Minister's Mansion left?"
"Go back to the big girl, I'm still waiting outside..." the manager replied.
"Let the people from the Zuo Prime Minister go back! Just say... I'll stay! Tell them to rest assured that I won't take the old man's life."
"Yes!" The manager responded and walked quickly outside the courtyard.
After the doctor and Ji Langhua came, one of them took the pulse and the other was given an injection. Shen Bozhong quickly woke up, but his mind was still in chaos.
Shen Qingzhu, who was kneeling by the bed, almost cried and told Shen Baizhong the whole story.
Shen Bozhong looked at the little girl who always had a cold face in his memory. At this moment, he looked full of tears and raised his hand and gently pressed it against Shen Qingzhu's hair. The familiarity and intimacy in it could not be faked.
He was not good at speaking and didn't know how to comfort this sad girl. He could only obey the softness in his heart and raise his hand to wipe her tears.
Shen Qingzhu cried even harder, holding Shen Bozhong's hand and cried. How long... She was not tucked by her master like this, and she didn't even keep the master's wife for her.
She couldn't even believe why the master called the old man: "Master, have you remembered it? Do you remember it?"
Shen Bozhong was very confused.
"Qingzhu, let your master rest well! Your master is afraid that you can't remember it for a while." Bai Qingyan stood beside the bed and looked at Shen Baizhong sitting on the head of the bed, and said, "I will tell you with the Li family,
Let your master stay in the Bai family for the time being, and you will also stay in the capital, and take good care of your master."
Shen Qingzhu turned her head and looked at Bai Qingyan and thanked: "Thank you, Miss!"
"You..." Shen Bozhong looked at Bai Qingyan's fan trembling slightly, and said in a low voice with some uncertainty, "Are you... Miss Su Qiu?"
Bai Qingyan tightened his hand holding the stove, his expression as usual, and his eyes were calm: "I'm not."
