Another month passed in the blink of an eye, and Lin Jingmo did not try to leave Shang Mansion again. After all, the tombs of Lin Yuanzhi and Mama Li were in Shang Mansion.
Lin Jingmo was still taciturn, and his daily life was taken care of by the original Qiaoxiang. Shang Shixu was promoted to the Minister of Household Affairs, so he went out earlier and came back later. The relationship between them and his wife did not ease. Fortunately, the two of them We didn’t meet many times and it wasn’t very embarrassing.
Lin Jingmo was able to get out of the dry well that day, thanks to Mrs. Shang, so Lin Jingmo often took care of Shang's mother after returning to the Shang Mansion. The strange thing was that she never saw Han Zilan.
Lin Jingmo is a woman. She is now helpless and has no place to go except the Shang Mansion.
Speaking of the day when Lin Jingmo was pushed down the dry well, in addition to thanking Shang's mother, she also had to thank Shen Yifeng. Many things in the past were thanks to him. After Lin Jingmo had dealt with all the matters, he asked Shang Shixue to be handed over to Shen Yifeng wrote a letter, which not only thanked him for his previous help, but also told him Lin Jingmo’s decision to stay in Shang Mansion.
Although Shen Yifeng is also very worried about Lin Jingmo, it is a pity that she has been someone else's wife for a long time. Although Shen Yifeng is a playboy and a playboy in the eyes of others, he is also a sensible, upright and true gentleman. He appreciates Lin Jingmo. Jing Mo admires Lin Yuanzhi's courage and integrity. In fact, he and Lin Jingmo have always been good friends and have no personal relationship. However, after these things, he always has inexplicable worries about Lin Jingmo.
During this time, he often wandered around Fireworks Alley, numbing himself with alcohol and women, in order to warn himself not to care about other people's wives at will.
A few days after Lin Jingmo entered the palace, Qi Xuanzhou began to deal with court affairs again. Therefore, entering the palace became not so difficult.
Shen Yifeng often stayed overnight outside the mansion, and the housekeeper in the mansion helped carry him back to the mansion.
For several days, Shen Yifeng did not return home to spend the night. Butler Shen took people to Ruixiang Building early in the morning. After asking the boss, he found out that he was drunk again that night, so the steward asked someone to take him to Ruixiang House. Shen Yifeng carried it back.
After sleeping until noon and waking up, Shen Yifeng rubbed his head in discomfort, and then realized that he had returned to the Hou Mansion.
An Ling, the eldest girl next to Shen Yifeng, said: "Master Hou, I finally woke up. I'll go and ask someone to bring sobering soup in."
"Okay!" Shen Yifeng grinned and said, "Thank you, Sister An!"
An Ling shook her head helplessly and walked out of the room with a smile.
When Butler Shen outside saw An Ling coming out, he asked, "Master Hou, are you up?"
An Ling replied: "I just woke up and I have a hangover and a headache. I'll go get him some hangover soup."
Butler Shen waved his hand towards her, and she went to the kitchen.
Butler Shen walked to Shen Yifeng's door and knocked several times.
"Who is it?" Shen Yifeng stretched lazily and stretched out his slender legs.
Butler Chen replied: "It's a villain, Lord Marquis."
"Steward Chen?" Shen Yifeng straightened up and said outside: "Come in quickly."
Butler Shen looked at Shen Yifeng who was still wearing the wrinkled robe he wore last night on the bed, and said angrily: "Master Hou should also take good care of his own body, how can he do it all the time?"
Shen Yifeng made a gesture and buttoned his ears, lay down again and said, "It doesn't matter, I don't have anything serious to do."
"Alas..." Steward Shen sighed and said, "The Marquis has no brothers or sisters. Although he has uncles from the same clan, they are not in the capital. Since the Marquis's parents passed away, he has received a hereditary title, but he is always idle at home, or... Go out and play all day and night, or just play around with the gadgets in the house. How can you do this all the time?"
However, Shen Yifeng closed his eyes slightly and pretended to fall asleep again.
Steward Shen continued: "You don't like people calling you Little Marquis. It's just that when the old Marquis was alive, he was also a minister of the imperial court. Now that his position has been passed to you, we have been reduced to the title of Marquis of Wuling." The laughingstock, even if the Marquis doesn’t want to study for fame, the Marquis is already old, so he should still marry a wife and have concubines, so that heirs are the right thing to do!”
"Marry a wife?!" Shen Yifeng suddenly opened his eyes.
An Ling, who was outside, pushed the door open with sobering soup in his hand, followed closely by An Xin and An Qing, who walked in with clean clothes and hand towels.
An Qing said: "The hot water has been prepared. Lord Marquis can take a bath after drinking the soup."
Shen Yifeng gave them a big smile, took the soup handed to him by An Ling, drank it in one gulp, and said, "Where's Sister An Jing?"
An Xin took out a clean coat and put it on him, and said, "Sister is preparing flower petals for the Marquis to bathe in the side hall."
Shen Yifeng smiled sweetly when he heard this, and said to Butler Shen: "Look, I have a few sisters to take care of me, so what kind of wife do I want to marry!"
Butler Shen said angrily: "If the Marquis refuses to listen to the old slave's advice, then the old slave will go live in the Shen family's ancestral hall and never come back to the Marquis Mansion again!"
Butler Shen is an old man who has been with Shen Yifeng since he was a child. Shen Yifeng has no brothers or sisters, and he has no relatives in the clan. He has a gentle personality and is usually very good to the elderly in the house, so he often has nothing to do with them. shelf.
When Shen Yifeng heard Butler Shen saying that he wanted to move out, he hurriedly said: "Okay, okay, I will go into the palace in a while to see if the emperor has any instructions. You can give me an official position and do something." ”< /p>
"And what about your marriage?" Butler Shen said reluctantly: "Master Hou, don't even think about getting away with it!"
Shen Yifeng had no choice but to compromise: "Yes, yes, there is still a marriage. I will go see if there is any noble daughter from a noble family, and I will marry her together!"
After hearing this, Butler Shen walked out of the house.
Shen Yifeng walked to the side hall, took off his underwear and got into the tub.
He hasn't returned home for a few days, so it's no wonder they are worried about him.
It's just that if you want to marry a wife, you have to think about it in the long term.
When it came to getting a wife, for some reason, Lin Jingmo came to mind again.
Recalling Lin Jingmo, she was not a gentle person, but when her husband was in danger, she stood up resolutely and would rather be injured and caught than let her husband escape.
Even if she is captured by thieves, Lin Jingmo will still risk her life to help them redress their grievances when she sees hungry children and disaster-stricken people. Is there such a woman in the world?
Thinking of this, Shen Yifeng poured hot water on himself. He had to admit that he was thinking about other people's wives. Although this was inconsistent with the rules and etiquette he had learned in daily life, he could not control his heart. Thinking back to Lin Jingmo, even if he kept reminding himself that there was no way Lin Jingmo could like him, her image still stubbornly lingered in his mind.
