Chapter 101
As soon as the people from the fifth room arrived, everyone in the room was surprised.
You know, the scene where Meng wanted to "see" Liu Yingying in the fifth room of Shou'an Hall was very impressive. Shen Wuye was romantic and lustful, Meng was sick and crazy, plus Liu Yingying was so charming. These people are mixed together, how can it not make people curious?
Especially, the inviter actually came to the big room?
How urgent is this?
as well as--
Shen Yuechan and Mi Yaer looked at each other. After a moment, they both turned their attention to the couplet in Liu Yingying's hand and glanced at it.
His expression became more and more...weird.
"I wonder if Mrs. Wu has anything to give her?"
Liu Yingying didn't expect that Meng would insist on it. Two days ago, she refused because she was sick. Anyone with a discerning eye could see that she meant to refuse. She didn't expect that Meng would come to invite her again and again, and even come directly to the main room to block people. , there is a way of not giving up until you see someone.
Although Liu Yingying was dissatisfied, she didn't know what Meng wanted to see her for, but she couldn't show it on her face. She still asked with a faint smile, but she didn't hide the lightness at the corner of her mouth.
"What did Miss Liu say? There was no instruction. But a few days ago, my wife heard that Miss Liu went into the water to rescue the eldest girl and my cousin. My wife felt grateful. The eldest girl and my cousin are both wives." Seeing her grow up, I wanted to express my gratitude and condolences in person, but my wife has been seriously ill recently and I am afraid I will not be able to visit in person, so I had to make a trip to Miss Lao Liu."
Meng's maid Qiu Ju said in a polite tone. Although she was smiling, she still looked more arrogant when facing Liu Yingying than when facing Shen Yuechan and others. She hid a hint of scorn and contempt towards Liu Yingying. hostility.
Liu Yingying didn't care about the other person's expression, but she was a little surprised after hearing her words. She saved the eldest girl and cousin girl, why did she need Meng's gratitude and condolences?
Liu Yingying was a little confused. Even if she wanted to take the turn, it would not be her fifth-fang's turn. The eldest girl's biological mother, Princess Qinghe, had not expressed her position yet. Fortunately, the fifth-fang's wife had been replaced.
However, as an elder, Meng behaved like this, so it was barely fair to express concern for the younger generation, but she always felt there was something strange about it.
Just when he was getting suspicious, he saw Qiu Ju and continued: "Moreover, my wife heard that Miss Liu found the young master who disappeared a few days ago, so she wanted to thank her in person."
This reason is more reasonable.
Liu Yingying seemed to be unable to continue to refuse.
However, Liu Yingying seemed to be a little worried and did not agree immediately. Just as she was hesitating, Shen Yuechan suddenly stepped forward and said, "Ying'er hasn't been to the east courtyard yet. I just have free time." It’s okay, I haven’t visited my little aunt for a long time, so I’ll go with you.”
The scene where Meng "looked at" Liu Yingying in Shou'an Hall in the past is still vivid in her mind. Shen Yuechan's move was regarded as a rescue and protection for Liu Yingying.
When Liu Yingying heard this, her heart suddenly relaxed, as if she had someone to rely on, and she only glanced at Shen Yuechan gratefully.
On the way, Liu Yingying felt hesitant and said, "I don't know what the temper of the fifth wife is. I feel ashamed to say that I have been in the Shen family for so long and I have never gone to the fifth room to see the fifth wife. I should have gone to the fifth room a long time ago." As a visitor, speaking of which, I was rude."
He added: "I don't know why, even though I have never been to the fifth room, going to the fifth room is more difficult for me than going to Shou'an Hall -"
Liu Yingying smiled and winked halfway through her words, which was meaningful.
After a while, he said to Shen Yue again and again: "Fortunately, I have you by my side, which makes me feel at ease a lot."
Liu Yingying "complained" to Shen Yuechan without any secret. Especially, she even "complained" to Shou'antang.
The old lady is the head of the Shen family. Although she is mostly kind and kind, she still has the majesty and momentum of the head of the family. The Shen family has many heirs. Although the old lady loves the younger generations, she can truly accompany the old lady. Most of the people in front of me were Shen Yuechan and Mi Ya'er, and the rest were born from concubines. Those who were not favored only showed up in front of the old lady a few times throughout the year. The old lady was respectful and afraid.
Every time I go to Shou'an Hall in private, I feel a little nervous and confused.
However, no one dared to say it. They didn't expect Liu Yingying to dare to say it so openly. While Shen Yuechan was surprised, she couldn't help but laugh a little.
In this case, only cousin Mi Ya'er in the entire Shen family dared to joke in front of her. Others did not dare to talk nonsense in front of her because of her status.
Today, Shen Yuechan offered a pair to let people choose, not out of temptation, but because she wanted to tell everyone openly, or she just wanted to tell Liu Yingying clearly what she was thinking.
There is no threat among the sisters in the Shen family. It is just that the second brother was "favored" by Liu Yingying, and later it was reported that the sixth brother was determined to marry Liu Yingying and threatened her to death. You must know the time when Liu Yingying came to the Shen family. Not long ago, he only appeared in front of people three or four times, and he actually caused the Sixth Brother, who had always been polite and diligent in studying, to become such a "devil". That...that Cousin Su and Sixth Brother were both talented and talented scholars. Shen Yue Chan was afraid that he would be fascinated by Liu Yingying like his sixth brother, so he had to let Liu Yingying know in advance.
Seeing that Liu Yingying and Cousin Su were "not destined", Shen Yuechan suddenly felt relieved, and because of her life-saving grace, he was already grateful to her. This time, there was no grudge anymore, and because Liu Yingying was an open-minded person, Shen Yuechan was smart, exquisite and funny. Shen Yuechan became more and more intimate with her. She took the initiative to hold Liu Yingying's hand and comforted her: "Don't worry, the fifth aunt is not... powerful and won't make things difficult for others. Besides, she Now that she is seriously ill, she is afraid that she will be powerless. On the contrary, she is not only not powerful, but she is actually a bit... weak. But maybe it is because she has died of illness all the time and has been lying on the bed without seeing the sun all the time. She is a little bit stubborn and has a paranoid temperament. Especially if it concerns Uncle Wu, he might grab someone easily and refuse to let go——"
Shen Yuechan said this, paused, and then said: "Also, the fifth aunt is very prejudiced against beautiful people. If I meet you for a while, if there is any slight, you don't have to take it to heart. She is not targeting you, she is targeting all the beautiful people in the world——"
Shen Yuechan gave Liu Yingying a precaution in advance.
After changing his words, he added: "However, don't worry. If Auntie has any misunderstanding, I will help you explain it later."
It's okay if she doesn't comfort her, but when she comforts her, Liu Yingying feels that this journey is long and difficult, and it won't be too easy.
While she was deep in thought, Shen Yuechan suddenly glanced at Liu Yingying's hand and said, "Ying'er better ask your maid to put this pair away first."
Seeing that Shen Yuechan suddenly changed the topic to the couple, Liu Yingying immediately raised her eyes towards Shen Yuechan with a surprised look on her face, and saw Shen Yuechan shrugged, and then told the truth: " To be honest, this pair... was personally presented to me by my fifth uncle."
After saying that, Liu Yingying opened her eyes slightly, as if a little unbelievable.
Shen Yuechan was not surprised, and even lowered his voice with laughter, and whispered to Liu Yingying: "It may be hard for you to believe that the fifth uncle is the real person, and his words are consistent with his words." The appearance is the same and it is a blockbuster. This is what my father said personally. My father said that the fifth uncle was the best among the uncles in my father's generation, both in appearance and understanding. My father also said It is said that he was the most favored by his grandfather back then, but I don’t know why... my fifth uncle fell to this point."
Shen Yuechan told Liu Yingying the secrets of her elders with a sincere expression.
But Liu Yingying was stunned.
She was so surprised that she was speechless for a time.
This calligraphy was actually the hand of the romantic and lustful Mr. Shen Rong, the fifth master of Shen who never accomplished anything and slept in Hua Street and Liu Lane? Liu Yingying was really surprised.
You must know that although this handwriting was specially chosen by Liu Yingying, it really won her heart. Shen Lang's calligraphy was too majestic and majestic, too compelling, while Su Zizhan's writing style was like pines, cypresses and green bamboos. , but with a lot of arrogance. Liu Yingying guessed that the last one came from Shen Ye, the second son of Shen. He had wild cursive skills and his words were like the person he was, bohemian and unruly.
On the contrary, the one she chose was ancient and fairy-like, graceful and elegant. It was neither too majestic nor arrogant, nor arrogant or wanton. It was simply beautiful, with even strokes and no distractions.
Unexpectedly, it came from the hands of... Mr. Shen Wu, Shen Rong!
Hearing Shen Yuechan's words again, it was really unbelievable.
"It's really... unimaginable."
Until I don't know how much time passed, Liu Yingying murmured.
Shen Yue said calmly: "I was more surprised than you, not less. Especially, do you know that when Uncle Wu wrote this pair of words, he actually said with a look of disgust, "I haven't written in many years, it's really unsatisfactory." With a really helpless attitude, I actually tried to tear up this pair. Fortunately, I was quick and saved it in advance."
Shen Yuechan raised his eyebrows and said.
It took Liu Yingying a long journey to digest this fact.
It turned out that it was really Master Shen Wu's writing. No wonder Shen Yuechan and Mi Yaer's expressions were so strange and strange when she chose this pair. Combined with Meng's summons today, it seemed that she was being It seems to be pulled together with the fifth room.
While the two were talking, they had arrived at the east courtyard.
As soon as I was admitted to the hospital, I smelled a strong smell of medicine, which was inexplicably pungent.
As soon as the two of them were admitted to the hospital, they saw a maid waiting at the entrance of the hospital. The moment they saw Liu Yingying, the maid Chun Mian was stunned and stared at Liu Yingying with a look of surprise and a little bit of confusion. When things got complicated, Chun Mian saw her and Shen Yuechan arriving together. Chun Mian immediately came over to greet them, but she said to Shen Yuechan: "Miss, Madam, I want to talk to Miss Liu alone. Girl, you can sit in the living room for a while."
Shen Yuechan looked surprised and said, "Auntie, you don't even see me?"
The maid Chun Mian looked apologetic and said: "My wife coughed up blood again today. I'm afraid...I'm afraid that I'm not able to entertain the eldest lady, so I'd like to ask the eldest lady to see you."
Shen Yuechan was startled and immediately asked about Meng's condition. After a moment, she looked helplessly at Liu Yingying. She saw Liu Yingying and Shen Yuechan exchanged glances and said, "In that case, I'll go in first." That’s it, Chan’er, let’s go back.”
Shen Yue said calmly: "You're already here, I'll just wait for you in the hall."
In this way, Liu Yingying finally entered the main room alone.
Chapter 102
Stepping into the house, the medicinal smell is stronger and slightly pungent. It is not accumulated in a day, but accumulated over many years. It exudes an aura of decay and decay.
As far as the eye can see, the house is simple and elegant, decorated with many flowers and green plants, trying to cover up the medicinal smell in the house, but it clearly has little effect.
"Miss Liu, wait a moment."
After Chun Mian led Liu Yingying into the door, she walked around the screen and entered the inner room. Not long after, there was a rustling sound from the inside, mixed with a weak whisper and a few low coughs. It was difficult to hear what was being said. Something, Chun Mian's voice came again: "Madam, people are waiting outside."
After a while of busy work, I finally saw a shadow floating behind the screen, and then the sound of rolling wheels slowly came. When I looked up again, I saw Chun Mian slowly pushing a wheelchair.
There was a frail woman sitting on the wheelchair. She looked very young, but she was around twenty-five or six years old. Her appearance... or I couldn't even tell her appearance at first glance, because when I looked at it, I saw a face of disastrous defeat. The face is as papery, the eye sockets are sunken, and even the lips are pale. The whole person is as thin and light as paper, and there is not much flesh left.
The sudden glance made people's hearts skip a beat, and they didn't even care about the other person's appearance.
Liu Yingying was suddenly startled when she suddenly saw the person in the wheelchair.
After all, when we were in Shou'an Hall last time, even though we were far away and we never saw her face, Meng could still come and go freely. Unexpectedly, after more than a month, she became so ill that she was in a wheelchair. I'm afraid I can't even stand up.
Shen Yu shouted on the strange road that his mother was about to die.
This is the corrupt look of a dying person. When Liu Yingying was in Wanhua Building, a girl in the building was infected with Hualiu disease, and she was so emaciated until she died.
Unexpectedly, Meng was already on his deathbed.
When I took another closer look, I saw that the other person's facial features were light and not glamorous, but rather delicate and delicate. In terms of appearance, he really couldn't be compared with that of Mr. Shen Wu.
When Liu Yingying looked at Meng, after Meng came out from behind the screen, her pair of yellow eyes were accurately projected on Liu Yingying's face from a distance.
When their eyes met, Liu Yingying clearly felt the other person's look startled.
She saw the other party staring at her blankly, with an almost stubborn paranoia in her cloudy eyes. Until the wheelchair was pushed in front of Liu Yingying, the other party still didn't say a word, still staring quietly without moving. she.
Being stared at so hard by a dying man, for some reason, a layer of fine goosebumps gradually appeared on Liu Yingying's thin wrists.
After a moment, she took the initiative to look at the other party and said, "Ying'er has met the Fifth Madam, Madam Wan'an."
As soon as Liu Yingying said these words, she saw that the other party was still staring at her motionless, with no expression on her pale and weak face, and a faint stubbornness on her pale and delicate face, until she stared at the other party. A flush of red suddenly appeared on the pale face, and then he covered his chest and coughed violently, and in an instant, a mouthful of dark, bright red spurted directly forward.
Blood sprayed to Liu Yingying's feet, and a few strands splashed onto Liu Yingying's skirt. Liu Yingying was immediately startled, and subconsciously wanted to take a few steps back, but the moment she raised her feet, she stopped. When he raised his eyes again, he saw Meng covering her chest and coughing violently, as if she was about to cough up her entire intestines and lungs. However, she still raised her face and stared at her from a distance. There was blood, and he didn't look back for a long time.
That scene was inexplicably weird.
The goosebumps on Liu Yingying's arms spread all over her body in an instant.
In an instant, the maids outside the house moved when they heard the sound. They all rushed in, slapping people on the back, fetching water, and tidying up. Everyone was in an orderly manner, and they all surrounded Meng's saddle. Liu Yingying He was quickly pushed into a corner.
After a while of busyness, until the maids gradually dispersed, the room returned to its original tranquility, as if everything just now was just an illusion.
"But what about scaring you?"
At this time, the sickly man opposite him slowly opened his mouth.
When Liu Yingying raised her eyes, she saw that Meng was panting slightly, and her body that had been upright slowly fell into the wheelchair. She lost any strength, but she suddenly laughed, staring at Liu Yingying and asking with a smile.
The voice was a little weak, as if it was floating from the distant sky, and fell into Liu Yingying's ears, which was extremely unreal.
Liu Yingying was stunned for a moment, and after a moment, she gently shook her head.
Meng Shiqiang smiled to herself, and then said to her: "Sit down."
Liu Yingying sat down on the chair as instructed. When she raised her eyes, she saw Meng's eyes staring at her closely and silently. She looked at her carefully from head to toe and from toe to head several times. After a long time, she finally continued He opened his mouth and said, "It's great to be young. I was your age when I came to the Shen family. I heard that you are about to have haircuts?"
