Shi Yanwei asked her, which made her a little confused. When she came to her senses, she shook her head repeatedly, "I only have respect for the master of the family, and I have no other thoughts. Even in this Song Mansion, I will not stay here for a long time. Sooner or later you have to leave."
If Yin Niang has intentions in her heart, it is not a bad thing for the family master to treat Yin Niang. But it turns out that Yin Niang has no intentions towards him, which is difficult to handle.
Yin Zhu was silent for a while, struggling in her heart again and again, and finally reminded her: "Yin Niang, I see that the master of the house seems to have some other thoughts towards you; do you still remember that on the day when Ta Yun caused trouble in Mrs. Tai's house, you Playing backgammon with the young lady, the way the owner of the house looked at you was not pure. Also that night, when you and I went to the garden to look for flowers and plants, the owner of the house asked you if your discomfort was serious. At that time, I felt strange. Have you ever cared so much about others, even asking a question?"
"Furthermore, today, the master of the house sent someone to call me to ask questions, but after saying a few words, he mentioned you Ayin. If I didn't have thoughts about you, why would I do this? If Yinniang has no intention of the master, she doesn't want to If you have anything to do with him, you should be more careful and stay away from him, and make plans in advance."
Shi Yanwei listened to her quietly and recalled the way Song Heng stood in front of her and looked down at her last night. She had felt something strange at that time, but she was just shocked by the words in his mouth. I put my thoughts aside for now.
Thinking about it further, Song Heng sent cherries to the dining room in the spring, gave Dai Xiu a mother-of-pearl box in her home, and uttered poems similar to hers during the Flying Flower Order... and on the day of the Spring Festival Banquet. I asked her if she could play the pipa and supported her when she almost fell on the polo field. If I hadn't taken a closer look at her, how would I have discovered that she could play the pipa and that she was about to fall?
I didn't think there was anything special about these things before, but when I thought about it carefully in combination with Yin Zhu's words, Shi Yanwei suddenly realized it, and his heart beat like a drum.
Looking at her appearance, Yin Zhu knew that she was a little frightened, and immediately patted the back of her hand gently, and was about to say something to comfort her, when she saw Rui Sheng wearing a moon-colored skirt and holding up a hand. The umbrella is coming this way.
Ruisheng came to the two of her and teased them with a faint smile: "It's such a big sun outside. If you don't stay in the house and don't hold an umbrella, why don't you worry about hurting your head in the sun just to avoid talking to people? "
"Sister Rui Sheng is coming here at this time, but Mrs. Tai has taken a nap and wants to have some delicious food?" Yin Zhu turned to look at her, covered her mouth and chuckled, for fear that Rui Sheng would ask her what the two of them just said. , with a strangely solemn expression.
Her idea was really unnecessary. Rui Sheng had just seen the two of them not far away. Before he could take a closer look at their expressions, Shi Yanwei shook the flower tree hairpin on his head and smiled. He lowered his eyes and looked at the road.
Rui Sheng said with a smile: "That's right. After reciting the sutra, Mrs. Tai went to take a nap. When she woke up, she said she was thirsty. Even after drinking a cup of tea, she still felt uncomfortable. She asked her to make some lily and Ophiopogon japonicus soup to bring her body."
After the words fell, Yin Zhu couldn't stay long, so he immediately left Shi Yanwei and Rui Sheng, and went to Daixiu Residence to kowtow to Song Qinghe and explain that the head of the family had let her out of the garden.
At the same time, Phytolacca came to order food. He said that the owner wanted to eat lighter and asked for less oil and salt.
Shi Yanwei originally thought about waiting for Yinzhu's matter to be resolved, then walking back to Tuihan Residence, sincerely thanking Song Heng, and returning the umbrella by the way, but today she found out that he actually had such thoughts about her. You can never go to him again.
She has not yet decided whether to leave or stay, and when to leave. She can only take one step at a time and ask Shang Lu to take away the umbrella. He handed another twenty coins to her hand and said, "Sister Shang Lu, please tell me." I say hello to the head of the family and say thank you."
Shang Lu didn't know about Yin Zhu, and she only thought that Shi Yanwei was the Xie family master who lent her the umbrella last night. As for why she went to find the family master in person, it was not her business, so why bother to find something to do on her own.
"Ms. Yang, you're welcome. It doesn't matter." Shang Lu smiled with a smile on his face. Since he lived in a humble place, he often took the rewards from various institutes. He also put these twenty coins in his sleeves with ease. , opened the door and went out while talking.
Returning to the Han Residence, he handed the oil umbrella painted with red plums to Feng Gui, who was standing under the eaves, and wiped the sweat off his hands.
Feng Gui didn't expect that Madam Yang didn't come over in person to thank the head of the family after the matter was done. At this moment, holding the bamboo-bone oil umbrella in my hand, it felt like it weighed a thousand kilograms and was very hot to the touch.
"Master." Feng Gui spoke through the door. When Song Heng asked him if he had anything to do, Feng Gui nodded in agreement. Song Heng put down the military book in his hand and asked him to come in.
Feng Gui wiped the sweat from his forehead, crossed the threshold, and handed the umbrella to Song Heng with both hands. He did not dare to look up at him, but lowered his head and whispered softly: "I borrowed the umbrella from Madam Yang last night." , Madam Yang has asked Shang Lu to return it on her behalf."
His deep gaze fell on the oil-paper umbrella, Song Heng hummed lightly, and then said in a deep voice: "It's just an umbrella, just put it back."
Seeing that he didn't feel disappointed, Feng Gui not only breathed a sigh of relief, but also had some doubts. Doesn't the head of the house not want to meet Madam Yang and listen to her words of thanks?
Feng Gui said with some regret, and backed out holding the umbrella.
After dinner, because it was still early, Song Heng went to Cuizhu Residence to say hello to Mrs. Xue.
Mrs. Xue asked him to sit down in a gentle voice, and asked: "I heard from people below that Erlang returned to the house this afternoon, but the things at hand have become more relaxed recently?"
Song Heng was noncommittal and turned his head to give Madam Xue a wink. Madam Xue immediately understood and asked Shu Yu to lead the other two younger maids to retreat.
After a while, only the grandfather and grandson were left in the room. Song Hengfang spoke slowly and in a calm tone: "Grandma, I want to take Madam Yang as my concubine, but I don't know what preparations to make, and I have to ask grandma to spend more money." Please help me come up with a charter."
Hearing these words, Mrs. Do you know? Will she agree? "
Song Heng shook his head, picked up the celadon tea bowl, took a sip of the fragrant tea soup, and said lightly: "I haven't told her yet, so please relax, there is no reason why she shouldn't do this."
After hearing this, Mrs. Xue paused slightly in the movement of moving the beads, and was about to open her mouth to say something, but remembered that Madam Yang was the first girl Erlang seriously wanted to take into his house, so she finally swallowed her words.
"Your marriage was not going well. You had made a good marriage a few years ago. I never thought that Wei Erniang was a short-lived person. She died before getting married. Later, Ye Niang disappeared one after another. She came and went again, and she was delayed for six years. Go. Now that the second man is a filial piety, I want to find a good match for you, but you use the Xi clan and Hezhong as an excuse to not get married. Now that these two places are settled, you should put some thought into marrying your first wife into the house. That’s it.”
"Although Mrs. Yang's family is in decline and she has no powerful relatives to rely on, after all, she is from the Hongnong Yang family, and she is an honest person. Erlang wants to take her as his concubine, so she is happy in her heart. It's just that she is happy. Erlang must keep this in mind. You cannot get pregnant before your wife comes in. If you have your eldest son in the future, you and Madam Yang can have a few more."
Song Heng respectfully agreed, exchanged greetings with Mrs.
It was already time to turn on the lanterns. Shi Yanwei had bolted the door to the courtyard early, took a fire stick to light the candles in the room, sat under the window and copied Yan Zhenqing's calligraphy, and a silhouette was reflected on the screen window.
Song Heng really wanted to see her, but he was also afraid of disturbing her by calling out abruptly at this time. After thinking about it, he only walked a few times outside the courtyard and walked towards the Han Residence under the moonlight.
It doesn't matter, he can welcome her into his yard as soon as everything is ready. By then, he can see her whenever he wants, so there is no need to rush to this moment.
The next day, news came from Guizhou that the Khitan king promised to exchange five thousand cattle, sheep and horses for Prince Lishi, and asked the commander-in-chief to go to Guizhou to meet him.
Song Heng has not been to Yunzhou, Youzhou and other places for nearly two years, so taking this opportunity to take a detour to inspect these two states together would kill two birds with one stone.
The decision was made at that moment, and he asked people to send Yeluli Shiya to Guizhou first, and then went to the battlefield in person to recruit elite soldiers, and will accompany him to Yunzhou tomorrow.
It was mid-April, and the weather was getting hotter day by day. Song Heng returned home from the army. Before he could take off the sword on his waist, he strode straight to the dining room.
When everyone in the dining room saw that it was him, they all hurriedly knelt down and bowed down. Shi Yanwei blended in with the crowd and mechanically knelt down and crossed his arms, never raising his head to look at him.
This was the first time Liu Lao saw him in the dining room, and she said anxiously: "The master of the house is here in person, but do you have anything to give me?"
Song Heng stepped in the door, a pair of phoenix eyes fell on Shi Yanwei calmly, he lightly opened his thin lips and said: "Today's lunch at the office is not to your liking, so I used less. I happened to be passing by right now." , drop in and order food, it will save some time."
In the past, Shi Yanwei would probably have believed this statement, but now, it was hard for her not to be overly concerned.
Shi Yan was slightly aware of his gaze, like a hunter quietly watching his prey in the dark...
Then she shuddered and plucked up the courage to look into his eyes. The feeling of being targeted by a hunter became clearer and clearer, making her shudder, her spine numb, her heart pounding non-stop, and the same feeling in her mind. It was a huge mess.
She thought that with Yin Zhu gone, it was time for her to leave the Song Mansion, a place of right and wrong.
Song Heng read the fear and surprise in her eyes. He seemed to be dissatisfied with her behavior that day when she only asked Shang Lu to return the umbrella. He deliberately teased her and walked towards her step by step with a low voice, "I heard that Mrs. Yang The sweet drink is very good, so let’s make some sweet soup to cool down the heat."
Shi Yanwei stared at him until his heart almost jumped out of his throat. He quickly lowered his head and said yes, then turned around to look for mung beans, lilies, lotus seeds, etc. elsewhere.
Tonggui was still young and didn't notice anything, while Liu Yu and Shan'er keenly caught the subtle atmosphere between the two. They just lowered their heads and said nothing. After Song Heng stepped out of the door, they looked at each other. , all looked at Shi Yanwei with inquiring eyes.
Shi Yanwei cooked a pot of milk, lily and mung bean paste as if nothing had happened. After finishing half a bowl of rice, he silently went back to the house to tidy up his body.
Early the next morning, Mrs. Xue personally saw Song Heng off in front of the mansion without saying a word.
Shi Yanwei calculated the time and went out to Cuizhu Residence to say goodbye to Mrs.
"Ms. Yang, these are some new sets of dresses made for you by the sewing room. Please take a look at them."
Shi Yanwei let her into the room, took a casual look, grabbed a handful of coins and expressed her gratitude, then walked out of the courtyard with her, and went straight to Cuizhu Residence after parting ways.
Mrs. Xue had just had breakfast and was joking with Mrs. Gao who came to greet her. When she saw Shi Yanwei coming in, she hurriedly waved for Shi Yanwei to sit next to her.
Shi Yanwei still crossed his hands and refused to sit down. He said in a respectful tone: "Madam, I came here today specifically to say goodbye to you."
