Last time, it was said that Master Shen and his servant went up to the north embankment of the Li Canal. At this moment, everything was silent. They were walking on Huzui Street, the main road in Hexia Town, and it was almost dark around them.
After the sound of the gong, a familiar voice came from the depths of Hexia Street: "The sky is dry and things are dry, be careful of candles!" It was Old Qin who was doing the watch.
"It's the third watch, Master."
"Well, come on, my mother is waiting impatiently."
"Woof, woof woof woof." Suddenly there was a dog barking in the alley. This sound triggered a wave of dogs and spread rapidly in the night sky. Xiaolong was suddenly frightened out of his wits.
"Young Master, I'm afraid!" As he said that, he had already thrown himself into Master Shen's arms.
"Look at your courage, dog, what's so scary?" Master Shen pushed Xiaolong away and held his hand tightly, "I'm here, you don't have to be afraid of anything."
"Yeah." Xiaolong said this, but he couldn't help but tremble.
Upon seeing this, Master Shen immediately quickened his pace. After a while, the barking of the dogs gradually subsided, and Xiaolong let go of the master's hand and returned to normal.
Turn right into the alley and head east. Zhuxiang Street is just ahead. Xiaolong jumped up and down with joy. Master Shen joked: "Who jumped on me just now?"
"Master!" Xiaolong was embarrassed. Fortunately, Master Shen couldn't see his blushing face. He explained, "Master, you don't know. I was bitten by a rich man's vicious dog when I was five years old. Look at the wound on my calf. At least three inches, a scar that big.”
"So that's what happened, so you changed your mind after listening to 'dog'."
"exactly."
As Master Shen walked, he thought that Miss Xu must have fallen asleep at this moment. Will she miss him as much as he does?
But it was said that the Miss Xu family returned to the Xu Mansion in a sedan. After a hurried dinner, she was lying on the big bed in the boudoir, tossing and turning. The bright moon was setting outside the window, and the faint moonlight shone on Miss Xu's heart.
Today, she was engaged to meet Mr. Shen in Yushu Linfeng. What made her extremely excited at the age of twenty-eight was that Mr. Shen was both civil and military. Not only was he physically strong, but he also had superb chess skills. The two games he held in his hands made her feel even more intense.
Ms. Xu, who has been well-read since she was a child, knows that she has married the right person and she will not be lonely spending the rest of her life with him. Thinking of this, Miss Xu's cheeks turned red and she felt her face burning.
However, as she is familiar with poetry and books, she knows which boy is not in love, and which girl is not pregnant with love? It is human nature for men to get married when they are older and for women to get married when they are older.
"Miss, are you asleep?" Xiaoling suddenly asked.
Miss Xu, who was thinking about something else, responded: "Damn girl, why aren't you going to sleep?"
"Miss, you were tossing and turning, didn't you fall asleep?" Xiaoling said rudely.
"Want you to mind your own business?"
Xiaoling got out of bed and came to the lady's bed. She opened the tent door and said, "Miss, let me talk to you."
"Come in, you are just a big mosquito." Miss Xu said jokingly.
Miss Xu fell asleep inside, and Xiaoling lay down and fanned gently with the cattail leaf fan in her hand. She suddenly felt much cooler.
"Miss, you miss Mr. Shen." Xiaoling's cunning eyes flickered like a clear spring, looking directly at Miss Xu.
"What do you think of Young Master Shen?" Miss Xu did not respond, but went straight to the point.
Xiaoling sat up when she heard this, spittle flying from her mouth: "Miss, Mr. Shen can't be too nice, right? Not only is he handsome, but he is also polite and he is definitely a gentleman. Miss, you are so lucky! "
"Yeah?!"
"You still remember him practicing martial arts in the back garden, right? He's masculine and handsome, just like a general." Xiaoling remembered something and quickly changed her words, "No, no, no, just like a marshal!"
"Is he that good?"
"Of course." Xiaoling said firmly.
The words of the maid Xiaoling were like a stone that stirred up thousands of waves, causing ripples of happiness in the soft part of Miss Xu's heart...
The door creaked, and Mrs. Shen, who was sitting under the oil lamp making new clothes for her son, felt her heart drop. She looked up and saw her son and Xiaolong appearing in her sight, and she quickly got up. Said: "It's too late to come back after going out to play. Your dad asked me this question when he got up at night."
"Madam, this is so beautiful!" Xiaolong said in surprise when he saw the red groom's suit.
Master Shen first stepped forward and held Mrs. Xu's shoulders: "Mom, my child is unfilial and makes my mother worried."
"It's good to be back. Are you thirsty? Have a sip of honey tea, wash your feet and go to bed." Mrs. Xu put down her needlework and went to the kitchen.
"Master, look at how good Madam's workmanship is."
"Of course, my mother is famous for her skillful hands." Shen Wei said proudly.
"You two come over and drink quickly, it's getting late."
"Here we come, mother." Master Shen quickly ran over...
The next day, when the Rooster was sung, the whole world became white, and a new day began. The canal was filled with mist, and it was hard to tell whether it was smoke or mist. The fireworks in Hexia Ancient Town are gradually getting thicker. Vegetable sellers on the streets are shouting loudly, and bun shops and fried dough stick shops are shouting one after another.
Mr. Shen ordered a bowl of Yangchun noodles as usual, and ordered two fried dough sticks to eat.
"Mr. Shen, you're here early!"
While he was eating, a familiar voice sounded in Mr. Shen's ears. He responded without raising his head, "Mr. Wu, are you here?"
"Boy, it's the same old rules."
"Okay, Yangchun noodles with a fried egg." The waiter greeted me.
Master Wu took a pair of chopsticks from the cage and sat down opposite Master Shen: "Brother Shen, I heard that the young master is engaged, congratulations!"
"Thank you for your love, Brother Wu! I envy you. You are now a grandfather. Your grandson is so fun."
"That's right, this little guy Chengen looks different every day." Mr. Wu looked happy.
"Look how beautiful you are." Mr. Shen was extremely envious.
"Shanyang Spring is here, Mr. Wu, please use it slowly." The waiter's mouth was very sweet.
"Brother, don't forget me during the wedding."
If you want to know what happens next, listen to the explanation next time.
