Shen Langgui

Chapter 39

On the sixth day of May, in the early morning, Qiu Mansion.

Yinzhang walked into the thatched house with a basin of water in his hand, ready to serve Xunhe to wash up, but saw that the oil lamp in the master's room was still on, and his heart skipped a beat: "My lord? When did you get up? Could it be another overnight account?"

Hearing this, Xun He raised his head and rubbed the bridge of his nose with two fingers: "I can't sleep, and I can't sleep well while lying down, so I just got up."

Yinzhang sighed: "Hey, young master has been sleeping less and less recently, I'll ask sister Yin what can I do."

"Insomnia is not a disease. Asking sister Yin is of no use, but it will only increase his troubles."

Yin Zhang was choked speechless by Xun He.

After washing up, Yinzhang was about to go out when he saw Liu Er running from a distance, followed by a burly man. Looking carefully, it was...

Xun He looked back, but saw Yin Zhang standing at the door like petrified, and asked in doubt: "What's wrong?"

"Shen...Master Shen is back!"

When Shen Yue came to the door, it was Liu Er who was guarding the door.

The last time I personally witnessed Shen Yue's adventure to save people, now hearing that Shen Yue said that he wanted to see his master, Liu Er did not doubt that he was there, and led him directly to Xunhe's room.

Shen Yue was dressed in coarse linen, with a parcel on his right shoulder. He looked like a wanderer, but his face was unsmiling, especially serious, and he was dressed as a commoner so that no one dared to neglect him.

Looking at each other, Xun He stood up in shock: "Master Shen?"

"Is it too early?"

All of Xun He's quotations were taken aback for a moment, never expecting that Shen Yue would say this.

Used it too early?

An ordinary greeting, it seems that Shen Yue is just returning after leaving home for a few days.

How can those who don't know it imagine that in just a few days, the two people in this conversation have experienced life and death.

Death and life are broad, and Zicheng said.

Xun He choked and couldn't answer, so Yinzhang took Shen Yue's lead: "I'm about to prepare, you guys talk, I'll go to the backyard." Then he pulled Liu Er and went out.

Shen Yue stepped forward, pressed Xun He to sit down, and then sat down by himself. Looking at the layers of ledgers and the unextinguished oil lamp in Xun He's hand, Shen Yue frowned: "What time did you get up?"

"Just... just now..." It was obvious that he lacked confidence.

Even though Shen Yue is demoted to a commoner now, his respect for Shen Yue has not diminished in the slightest.Xun He had to admit.

Fortunately, as soon as Xun He finished speaking, Aunt Yin entered the room, probably Yinzhang had greeted her, she was not surprised to see Shen Yue in the room, after a greeting, she went to check Xun He's leg injury.

Xunhe's bones are already slender and skinny, his trousers are usually empty, but now he sees his lower right trouser leg is full, and when Aunt Yin rolled up the clothes, she found that it was wrapped with wooden planks.

"It's almost ten days, how are you doing?" Shen Yue squatted down and asked.

Aunt Yin took off the wooden board, checked it by touching it, and replied: "No, Xiaoqiu didn't follow the instructions to rest."

Shen Yue raised his eyes and stared at Xun He.

"There is one more thing," Aunt Yin seemed to have grasped the rhythm, and after Shen Yue withdrew her scolding gaze, she asked Xun He, "Xiaoqiu, your right leg bone is broken more than this time, isn't it?"

Xun He nodded: "Yes." Suddenly remembered something, Xun He looked at Shen Yue, and unexpectedly met Shen Yue's eyes.

Probably thought of one place.

That was when they were in Nanyue, Xun He was still called Shen Li, and Shen Li had just been with Shen Yue not long ago.Once, when Shen Yue was inspecting the river, it was also a stormy day. He accidentally fell into the turbulent current, and searched for a ravine and desperately entered the water to rescue him.That time, Xun He not only injured his leg bone, but also left behind a twisted and ferocious scar like a long worm.

I dare not think that it has been more than ten years since that rescue!

Now that the two of them recalled it, it seemed as if they had passed away.

Right now, the scar is hidden in Xunhe's calf, Shen Yue can't see it from the front, only a little scar tail is seen on the side of the leg, Shen Yue can't bear it any longer, grabs Xunhe's ankle, and turns to one side.Over time, the scar has faded, but it is still shocking on Xunheshuang's white skin.

Xun He felt uncomfortable and pulled his leg back.

Aunt Yin didn't notice any difference, she just sighed and said: "No wonder, Xiaoqiu, your leg bone was broken, and you recovered slowly, and if you add all your troubles, the recovery will naturally be far away. Next, you must live well. Otherwise If the root of the disease falls, the wind, cold, rain and dew will not feel good in the future."

Before Xun He opened his mouth, Shen Yue took the lead to answer: "Okay."

Aunt Yin checked and inquired and then withdrew, leaving only two people in the room.Just when Xun He felt embarrassed, Shen Yue said: "The day I was taken away, what did the Emperor ask you for?"

Although he had stayed in Qiu's mansion for a while before, Shen Yue could only be regarded as a newcomer compared to Aunt Yinzhang Yin, but he never seemed to regard himself as an outsider, and he still did whatever he wanted to interrogate Xun He.

Xun He didn't dare to hide it from him, and knew that he couldn't hide it from him, so he had to tell the truth: "The emperor decided to move south, but the government and the people opposed it. When the new emperor ascended the throne, the political power was already unstable, which made things worse. The construction of the Guangling Palace, It will cost a lot of money, and it will consume the national treasury in the future, which will inevitably lead to disputes, so I took the initiative to ask for orders to fund the construction of the new palace for the emperor."

"Then what good has the emperor promised you this time?"

Xun He was silent for a while, before hesitatingly replied: "I will choose a day to go south and take up the post of weaving in Jiangning."

"...Sure enough, it is for the sake of the future prosperity of both officials and businessmen, right." Shen Yue turned into a tone of hatred, "It was Shen's family back then, and it was Wu's family the day before yesterday. Haven’t you seen through the end yet! Why are you still determined to go on the road to ruin! Isn’t it good for An Sheng to be a small businessman? Nine million a year’s profit, let alone a million taels, are you still not satisfied?” Thinking of Xun again A few days ago, He actually chased into the turbulent water for the banknotes. Shen Yue couldn't help being impatient. He stood up and scolded angrily, "Look at your bones, the money you earn with your life can bring you to the underworld?!"

In front of Shen Yue, Xun He never knew how to argue, what's more, what Shen Yue said now is not true, Xun He can only be scolded with his eyelids drooping.

Shen Yue stopped scolding when Yinzhang brought food into the room at the right time.

"Early in the morning, Master Shen hasn't eaten yet. I made an extra serving..."

"No need." Putting it down, Shen Yue strode out of the room.

Shen Yue knew clearly that most of Xun He's sickness now was his own fault, so how could he be qualified to train him?

Had to flee.

Shen Yue went to the backyard, but unexpectedly bumped into a person when he turned the corner of the house, and when he stood still, Shen Yue saw that the face in front of him was familiar, and after a little thought, he remembered that he was the accountant who asked him for help in the mountain rain that day.At that time, I heard him say that Xun He was in a critical situation, and Shen Yue had no time to look at it in a hurry. Now that he saw it at a close distance, he realized that the accountant was a woman in disguise.

But Shen Yue didn't care about these things, and wanted to continue walking around people, but was stopped by Jin Pengyu, but she heard her ask: "Master Shen, can you listen to me a few words?"

Shen Yue withdrew his arm, and said coldly, "Say it."

"Young master, he never knew how to excuse himself. I just heard Master Shen scolding me so much, I think...I want to say a few words for you."

"A person who has no power or influence has to fight for everything by himself. The son is eager to make money because he knows that when the money is gone, the status and so on are gone."

"However, since ancient times, in the 'Scholar, Farmer, Industry and Commerce', merchants have been ranked at the bottom, the bottom of society. Therefore, even though the son is dignified in front of others, behind the scenes, the officials all look down on the son.

"Young master once said that what's the point of living a life like an ant and being trampled upon by others. He tried his best to get closer to the officialdom, just to hold his head high in front of others and not be ruined."

"Master Shen was born in a family and enjoyed all the wealth and honor in the world since he was a child. It is normal for him not to understand the difficulties of the untouchables."

Speaking of this, Jin Pengyu seemed to be expecting it, looked at Shen Yue who was about to refute, with a determined look, and said frankly:

"Master Shen, I think he came here to take care of you. If that's the case, I hope Master Shen won't hurt you by saying these words in the future. You don't seem to care, but in fact, he remembers it better than anyone else. Especially when you are looked down upon by those close to you."

"Aunt Yin said that the young master is weak and sick, and most of them are suppressed. Since Master Shen intends to be a member of the Qiu family, don't add trouble to the young master."

"That's all I want to say, and I hope Master Shen will remember it well." After Jin Pengyu finished speaking, he left alone, leaving behind a stunned Shen Yue.
