Harue Kagetsu: Chapter 37

Shen Da ordered Shen San to come forward with a smiling face: "My third brother, I have always acted recklessly! I have offended Madam before, but fortunately Madam didn't care about him. I don't want to cause trouble again these two days. Big birthday, my sister sent a piece of clothes. It was originally a good thing, but my third brother, because of the usual disagreement with my brother-in-law, actually took anger on my sister and ordered someone to send the clothes back. The servant was stupid and misinterpreted the three My brother's intention was that when he was sending the clothes, he must have lost his words, and he had broken the door of his brother-in-law. Come to make amends, I beg your pardon!"

After he finished speaking, Shen San was at the side, and repeatedly accused him of the crime, saying that his original intention was not like this, it was all the fault of the servants, and he hoped to get Mrs. Li's forgiveness.

While the Shen brothers were explaining the matter, the county residents who had been with their colleagues had come to watch the excitement and told the story that Li Mu's newlywed wife, Gao's daughter, had sent someone to smash the door of the Shen's house.

Soon, everyone knew.

Amidst the buzzing discussions, someone put their ear to Li Mu's ear and repeated it.

Li Mu was obviously stunned for a moment, and then his eyebrows frowned slightly imperceptibly.

Sun Fangzhi, Dai Yuan and the others behind him heard such news, but after the initial shock, they all burst into laughter, and the laughter was extremely happy.

"I can't see it! The younger brother and sister are such a cheerful person!"

"I'm more happy than I waited for a seven-foot man! I did what I didn't wait for!"

"I admire you!"

"Happy! Happy!"

Everyone is chattering, you say one sentence to me.

Brother Shen's face was flushed, and he didn't say a word. How could he still look arrogant on weekdays?

Amid the bursts of laughter behind him, Li Mu turned his head and glanced blankly at his brothers who were laughing wildly.

Sun Fangzhi and Dai Yuan were stunned for a moment, and when they saw Guo Zhan on the side, they gave them a secret wink, and then they had an epiphany.

Although the younger brother and sister's move was very pleasing, it was exactly what he wanted to do, but was stopped by Li Mu. It was a bit of a shame for him - and it seemed a bit inappropriate for people like him to be so blatant.

The two looked at each other and stopped laughing.

The laughter and cacophony behind him gradually ceased.

Li Mu turned his head and looked serious: "If you offend, your brother is the one who offends the most. It should be the Jiang family and his wife. If you want to make amends, you should make amends to his husband and wife. Why do you need to see my wife?"

Shen Da wiped the sweat from his forehead: "General Li's words are very true! My brothers came here together to apologize to my brother-in-law and Amei. Not only that, but also to take Amei to visit my mother. I am afraid that she may have misunderstood, and I will also apologize together. I will come here sincerely and ask General Li to pass the message on my behalf. I am very grateful to the brothers! After I apologize to Mrs. Xiang, I will take Amei back immediately!"

Shen Da said a word, and the men in the opposite Jingkou sneered.

His brothers turned a deaf ear, and only looked at Li Mu with a pleading expression.

Shen Dahu saw Jiang Tao in the crowd, his eyes lit up, and he lost a wink at Shen San.

Shen San was shameless, and rushed to Jiang Tao's side, bowing and bowing: "Brother-in-law, it was all my fault before! I shouldn't have done this to you. I know I was wrong, and I beg your brother-in-law to forgive me!"

Jiang Tao said: "Why do I need your Shen family to apologize to me. It is my wife who is wronged by your brothers. If she understands, what can I say?"

Shen Er hurriedly said: "General Li, you don't know anything. When my mother heard the news, she burst into tears and berated several of my brothers. She was eager to see Amei's face. The old man has to come together just now! I have already realized the mistake, and I will not dare to do it again. I implore General Li to pass on a message, and if my mother finds out, I will be very grateful!"

Li Mu's eyes were like electricity, and he swept the three Shen brothers coldly: "It's up to her to decide whether my wife sees it or not. I don't know." After he finished speaking, he got on the horse and left.

The Shen brothers sighed, hurriedly mounted their horses, and hurriedly chased after them.

The street in front of the Chenghuang Temple leading to Li's house was already crowded with people at the moment, and it was as lively as a temple fair.

For fear of offending the Gao family, the three brothers had no face at the moment, their faces were ashamed, in the sound of pointing and pointing from the people on both sides, they quickly came to the door of the Li family, watched Li Mu enter, waited for a long time, but never disappeared There was something going on inside, but I didn't dare to ask, I was very anxious, and finally heard a sound of footsteps coming from inside.

A sturdy girl of 12 or 13 years old came out from the threshold, with her hands on her hips and her nostrils pointing upwards, she squinted and said, "Are you the elder brother of the sister-in-law of the Jiang family?"

The three of them faced this yellow-haired girl, and they didn't dare to neglect at this moment, and nodded.

The girl snorted arrogantly: "Come with me!"

The three of them breathed a sigh of relief, and hurriedly followed, turned around the screen, entered the hanging flower door, passed through a corridor on the right, and reached a main room. It was Li Mu's newlywed wife, Gao's girl, who did not dare to enter. She only stood outside the threshold and greeted the screen with respect and respect, saying that she would pay her respects.

Luoshen glanced at Shen shi beside him, and saw her eyes staring at the people behind the screen, her hands clenched tightly, her nails almost digging into her flesh. He became more and more angry, and he shouted: "Shen San! That day in the town, did I tell you that the sister-in-law of the Jiang family is my sister-in-law! It's just that you don't allow the sister-in-law to see her mother-in-law. , I even asked someone to break the door today! You broke A-sister's door, and you broke the door of my Gao family! I didn't do anything, but I asked someone to demolish the door of your Shen family! Why, you don't agree , you want to come to Xingshi to ask the guilt?"

Shen San really couldn't remember what Mrs. Li had said to herself that day, but now that she said so, how could he dare to justify it? Seeing the two brothers staring at him angrily, he knelt down with a thud and said, "It's all my fault! I shouldn't treat Amei like this, let alone offend Madam! Not to mention tearing down a door. , even if I ripped off the roof of my house, that's what I deserved! I know my mistake, and I implore my wife to raise your hand and spare this time! In the future, I will never stop my sister from seeing my mother! Heaven can learn from it! It's not true, the sky is hitting five thunders!"

Shen Da and Shen Er also pleaded together.

Shen Da was even more heartbroken: "After the Xianzun left, I became the head of the family, but I was so confused that I turned a blind eye to the dirt in my home, and the family style was lost, so that it became the fault of today! It's all my fault! Originally, I also I have no face to come here, but my old mother misses Amei and cannot afford it for a long time. I beg your wife to be considerate and tell me to wait for a few brothers, so that there will be a chance to make amends in the future!"

When Shen Er was a child, he originally had a strong relationship with the Shen brothers and sisters, but after the Shen family married lowly, Shen Er yearned for a high-end court, and the brothers and sisters gradually became colder. Seeing that the other figure behind the screen seemed to be his younger sister, he hurriedly pleaded: "Amei, the second brother used to have a black heart, but he did this to you! The second brother regrets it too much! , there are a lot of adults, please ask your wife for mercy on our behalf. The second brother will treat you well in the future!"

Shen shi didn't say a word until he heard that several brothers first moved out of the old mother, and then talked about the relationship between the brothers and sisters when they were young. She couldn't bear it anymore, got up and walked out from behind the screen, crying; "I don't either. I beg you, from now on, as long as you can let me see my grandmother's face, let me show some filial piety, then I will be worthy of our brother and sister relationship!"

The three of them couldn't help but agree, and they were extremely affectionate.

Shen Er said again: "Amei, when I came here, I had asked the carpenter to come to your house and asked to use the best wood to make the door! Please calm down, if you don't need it tomorrow, you will return the new door to your house! "

Inside and outside of Jiankang during the Dayu Dynasty was full of brutal political and military struggles.

But in the past 16 years, Luoshen has always been aloof and does not eat human fireworks.

Although she has a pure and kind heart, like the Shen brothers, in her eyes, it was nothing at all.

She is also used to seeing people who are flattering and flattering, but to be honest, this is the first time she has seen people who are flattering and flattering. I couldn't help yelling shamelessly in my heart.

But the matter has reached this point, the previous anger has almost disappeared, and Shen shi also spoke like this, then got up, and said coldly: "You are acting despicable, making my family very angry! If you want me to let it go, That's easy too. As long as Ah Jia speaks, I won't care about you."

The three of them hurriedly pleaded for an amnesty to see Lu Shi's face.

Ah Ting was triumphant, snorted, and then went to help Lu Shi out.

The people from the Lu family were still outside the door. The three of them kissed the old lady better than they met. With an "Amu", they rushed over and knelt in front of the Lu family. They kowtowed and begged for mercy. Don't dare to act like this again.

Mrs Lu shook her head and sighed: "What are you doing with me, a blind old woman! Accumulate goodness and evil spirits, and accumulating evil and calamity. In the future, don't speak ill of your sister because of the family's opinion, and ask her to be filial to her. In front of my mother, it is better than saying a hundred words here."

The three fell to the ground, not knowing whether it was true or false, and wept bitterly.

Luoshen's eyes were a little straight, funny, and even more angry, and he could only sigh again to open his eyes.

She knew that she had asked someone to break the door of the Shen family, and that she would use the Tao to treat her body, and there would be a follow-up.

But I didn't expect that with a casual order, such a wonderful follow-up drama would be evoked.

Shen shi was very concerned about her old mother. Seeing that several brothers expressed their opinions like this, she gave up. She thanked Luo Shen and Lu shi again and again with tears, called her husband, brought a pair of children, brought some food, and went to a few brothers. The car that came, immediately went to her parents' house.

Luoshen thought for a while, then called Aju again and gave an order.

Aju nodded and followed Shen shi.

The three brothers of the Shen family were respectful and followed by the side. Under the attention of passersby, they took their brother-in-law's family out of Jingkou, leaving a crowd of onlookers, and there was still a lot of discussion there.

In the words, it was all praise and praise for the newly married Gao daughter of the Li family.

The two places are not far apart and will arrive soon. The two doors of the Shen family were still empty before they could be changed, but there were people inside and out.

Inside were several of Shen's brothers-in-law and the servants of the Shen family, all of whom were waiting to be greeted there.

Shen got out of the car, and several sisters-in-law came to greet him, making them intimate and praising the two children.

Shen shi didn't want to talk too much with these sisters-in-law, and after a few words, she took her husband and children to visit her old mother.

Mother and daughter hadn't seen each other for many years, but they finally met today. Mother and daughter hugged their heads and cried. After crying, Mother Shen was overjoyed to see her daughter bringing her grandchildren who were too big to recognize.

Seeing this, Aju's eyes were also reddened.

Shen's mood gradually calmed down. Because she had not seen her mother for a long time, she wanted to stay with her two children tonight for another night.

Jiang Tao nodded immediately, because it was almost dusk, he said goodbye to Mother Shen, told the two children to be obedient, and left first.

Aju also returned together.

The Shen family knew that she was a relative of Gao's daughter, and she brought someone to smash the door during the day. Knowing that she is a powerful character, seeing her coming, several sisters-in-law of Shen shi were frightened in front of her and entertained them attentively.

After Aju came out of Shen's mother's house, she just sat indifferently all afternoon, not only did not say a word, she did not even touch the tea and snacks that were served.

The servants of the Shen family did not dare to approach, they just stood aside with their hands down, watching from a distance, not even daring to take a breath.

When Jiang Tao came out and the Shen family sent them off, she got up, walked to the door, and said lightly to the Shen family who were sending off respectfully, "My little lady said that you are truly repentant, and it is not hopeless. , there is still some room for improvement. She will write to her elder brother, and when Jiankang is over next spring, she will send a message to your Shen family, and you will come to the meeting when the time comes."

Every year in the early spring of March, there will be a grand meeting of the Qushui River among the nobles of Jiankang. The people who attended the meeting included not only the high-ranking nobles and today's celebrities, but also the children of various protégés who were considered worthy of support.

Being able to get an invitation is an excellent opportunity that countless noble families and ordinary poor families have dreamed of to improve their fame.

Even if he is still unable to enter the social circle of Jiankang Gaomen gentry, but once he comes back, his reputation in the local area will be greatly increased.

The Shen brothers thought they heard it wrong at first, but when they reacted, they couldn't believe it. They were overjoyed and thanked Aju incessantly.

It should be noted that under the current strict family system, not only the poor family has no way to go up, even the last-class nobles in a place like his Shen family, if they want to advance to the next rank, it is as difficult as going to the sky.

After years of digging around and working hard, not only has he not improved, but his family has declined.

The sisters-in-law of the Shen family were only under pressure to be polite to Shen on the surface, but in their hearts, they still harbored grudges.

Until these words came into my ears, Fang Rumeng had just woken up, knowing that good fortune had descended from the sky, and no longer dared to despise Jiang Tao and the Shen couple.

It's just barely enough.

"The little lady also said that in the future, if she is told that you dare to use the name of the Gao clan to do misconduct in Yurou Township, if she can lift it up, she will also make you never turn over. You can do it by yourself."

Aju said coldly.

The three Shen brothers immediately swore to God.

Shen shi was on the side and was very moved.

She never imagined that this young lady of the Gao family, who had just married into the Li family, was not only warm-hearted, but also meticulous, and made such an arrangement on purpose.

To lift up one's own family is clearly to lift oneself.

I just want to make myself truly not be despised by my family from now on.

She suppressed the surging excitement in her heart and went up to face Aju, wanting to thank her, but something seemed to be choked up in her throat, unable to say a word, tears flashing in her eyes again.

Aju's face, which had never been expressive towards outsiders, finally showed a rare smile. She patted Shen shi's hand lightly, turned around and got into the car. With the respectful farewell from the Shen family, she returned to Jingkou.

…

The Li family, which had been lively for most of the day, finally quieted down as the neighbors left happily one after another.

When Aju came back, Luoshen was still with Lu Shi, and A Ting and Li Mu were also there.

Lu asked about Shen's return to Shen's house, and was very happy to learn that Shen's mother was in good spirits.

Aju mentioned something that Luoshen finally told her.

Lu Shi looked a little surprised at first, touched Luo Shen's hand, held it, and sighed.

"A family really never thought that Ami, you would be so thoughtful. This is excellent. With your arrangement, the Shen family will no longer dare to despise people in the future. It's just embarrassing you."

"But it's just a little effort." Luoshen smiled.

"This time, the Shen family knows how good my sister-in-law is! Let's see if they dare to bully people in the future! I just went out for a while, and everyone is saying that my sister-in-law is good!"

Ah Ting looked at Luoshen, his eyes full of worship.

Lu Shi smiled and nodded: "It is extremely! It is extremely!"

Luo Shen couldn't help but glanced at Li Mu.

He didn't go out all afternoon.

Just now, Aju didn't reply. When she and Lu Shi's Ating were talking, he sat next to him, but he never said a word, and he didn't know what he was thinking.

Seeing that he seemed to be looking at himself, he didn't wait to meet him, and immediately turned his face back, facing the Lu family, and said sincerely: "Ami also knows that today's incident is really a big mess. Originally It was only because I was short-lived that I started it, but luckily it ended. If it's not right, even if it's wrong, even if I ask the A family to punish me, Ami will definitely remember it, and I won't dare to make trouble like this next time."

Lu Shi immediately waved his hand: "Why are you talking nonsense? If you want to blame, it's just that the brothers of the Shen family are not doing human affairs! Not to mention you, even I was angry! A warm-hearted person like you is rare! A family Why should I blame you?"

Luo Shendao: "I am lucky to have met such a good family as Ajia, who is willing to protect me everywhere."

Lu Shi smiled, gently shook her pair of soft weeds, turned to his son and said, "Ami must be exhausted after all these things happened this day. After eating, if you have nothing to do, you don't have to go out. Stay with her!"

Li Mu should be.

…

It was getting dark, and the lights were turned on in the house.

Li Mu and Luoshen accompany the Lu family to dinner, Jiang Tao came, with some accompanying gifts, and sincerely thanked Luoshen.

Luo Shen thanked him. After being polite, Li Mu sent Jiang Tao out, and Luoshen went back to the house first and took a bath.

The weather is a little cold. This bath barrel made of oak for hundreds of years has a fine texture and slightly elastic wood, which can keep the water temperature well.

Accompanied by Aju, Luoshen immersed himself in the spiced bath soup and took a comfortable bath.

"Mother Ju, you said, if Aye knew what happened today, would he blame me for being a fool?"

Luoshen suddenly remembered, turned over under the water, and asked Aju, the bath water he brought made a pleasant clatter.

Even if A-Niang knew, she wouldn't say anything about her, so Luoshen ignored her automatically.

"How come!" Aju immediately shook her head.

"In this world, where can there be such a good girl as my little lady? If the husband knows about it, I am afraid that he will not feel bad for marrying in such a place. Every day is full of messy people!"

Luoshen sighed: "Mother Ju, don't say this again! A family, A Ting, Jiang family sister-in-law... There are also many neighborhoods, everyone is very nice."

Aju also sighed: "As long as you are happy, little lady."

She took a large towel, told Luoshen to come out of the water, wrapped her body, gently wiped the water droplets on her skin, and dressed her swiftly with her hands and feet.

Luoshen held a absorbent hair towel in his hand, tilted his head, wiped his long hair, and went out. Seeing that Li Mu didn't know when to return, he stood there.

She couldn't help but suspect that he overheard the conversation between herself and A Ju just now, stared at him, walked past him, sat in front of the dressing table, turned her back to him, pulled her long hair to one side of her chest, and continued to bow her head. Wiping, revealing a snow-white jade neck.

"If something like this happens in the future, if I'm at home, remember to tell me first. If I'm not here, don't act on your own like today, ask someone to send me a message first."

"Remember?"

After a while, his voice came from behind.

Luo Shen turned his head and glanced at him.

He was standing behind him, his eyes on her back.

Aju was about to call Qiongshu and the others to come in to serve, but when she heard it, she stopped and turned around.

Luoshen pouted, turned his face, raised his chin, and snorted: "Why should I tell you first?"

There seemed to be a sudden pressure behind him.

Luoshen looked back again and saw that he had actually come behind her, leaned down, stretched out his hand, and took the hair scarf in her hand.

"I'm your husband. If you don't tell me first, who will you tell me?"

Perhaps because of the candlelight in the room, a dim light flickered in his eyes.

The tone sounded even more strange.

It seems to be joking at her, and it seems to imply some warning.

After he finished speaking, he actually raised his hand, and in front of A Ju next to him, as if nothing had happened, he helped her to wipe off a few crystal beads of water on the skin of the back of her neck.

Luoshen's face suddenly became hot, and he was about to grab his hair scarf, but he was holding on to it and couldn't take it back, so he turned to Aju, whose eyes were straight, and shouted, "Mother Ju, call them. Come in!"

Aju came back to her senses, oh, and hurried to the door before opening the door. She saw Qiongshu hurried over and said, "Is Li Langjun in the house? It's gone!"

Luoshen was stunned for a moment, and looked at Li Mu who was behind him. Seeing that his eyes moved, he was not in a hurry. He just straightened up slowly and said in a serious tone, "You have to remember my words. ."

After finishing speaking, he gently put the half-wet hair towel back in her hands, smiled at her, and then turned around and left the house, and no one was there.
