Chapter 5 Home Restless
Shen Sirong fixed his eyes and looked at Wang Shi. Her face was smeared with thick lead powder. At first glance, the white was a little flime, her eyebrows were all faintly colored, and her lips were also painted with bright lip fat. Looking up from afar, it seems that you can only see a red stain on the white bottom. And Shen Siyi, her half-sister, is sitting next to Wang. Her sister is not very similar to Wang's. Wang's appearance is ordinary and can only be regarded as dignified, while Shen Siyi's facial features are much more beautiful.
Wang picked up the teacup on the case, took a breath and took a sip. She looked at Shen Sirong and then looked at Siyi beside her: "Yi'er, go back to your room first."
Shen Siyi was unwilling. She pulled Wang's sleeve and pulled it. Wang's squinted eyes slightly. Shen Siyi pouted and looked at Shen Sirong complainingly. She stamped her feet and went out. When she went out, she did not forget to pretend to hit Shen Sirong unintentionally. Shen Sirong moved to the right. When Shen Siyi went out, she looked at Wang again.
"Mom, what's the matter with you?" Seeing that it was getting dark outside, Shen Sirong asked, and it was estimated that her father would come back later.
Shen Sirong remembers that when she was a child, she always didn't understand why Shen Siyi would be very happy when she called her mother Wang, and her face would immediately be overshadowed. Later, a group of maids told her with laughter that her mother was just a woman who was taken off. On the same day, the wet nurse told her that her mother was a very good person, but she had gone far away...
Was thinking about the sound of porcelain collision, Wang put down the cup in his hand: "I heard that you went to the accounting room yesterday to advance the monthly money of the next month?"
"Yes."
Wang didn't say anything, just waiting for Shen Sirong's follow-up. Shen Sirong did not see Wang's question again and kept silent. Wang's hand on the case tightened.
"Huh, what, our Shen family treated you badly? Is the monthly money so not enough? It's only been used up in 21 days. Wang opened the corners of his mouth, and after saying that, he patted his hand heavily on the table.
Shen Sirong looked at Wang's eyes neither humble nor arrogantly: "Mother, today is the day of the sacrifice of Sirong's biological mother. Sirong went to Anguo Temple to offer incense. As for the advance silver, just deduct it from Sirong's monthly money next month."
"Today?"
"It's today."
Speaking of the sacrifice day of his biological mother, there was a little hatred in Shen Sirong's eyes, but these eyes only flashed by without leaving any trace.
"Then where did you go after that? The driver will come at noon. You really won't return home until the time of application. Wang Shi snorted coldly, and the golden clothes on his head shook with her swing. It's very dazzling.
"I went shopping for something." Sirong replied.
Is that right? Shopping, I think you bought a living person, didn't you? Wang said sarcastically. Shen Sirong knew that she couldn't hide it from her for a long time, but she didn't expect that so soon, she led people into the door with her front foot, and she received the news with her back foot.
Shen Sirong lowered his head and replied, "Mom, I just accidentally saved a girl and brought her back..."
" Girl? What, do you mean that I treat you so hard that even the girl is not enough for you?
Shen Sirong knew that this matter was to be solved, so she could only whisper, so Sirong simply fell silent. Wang didn't let her go so easily. She stood in front of Sirong: "Why don't you talk?"
Wang shouted harshly, "Don't pretend to be mute. What, is it possible that I really treated you badly?"
Shen Sirong gritted his teeth and drooped his eyes with a trace of fierceness. Must he force her to say? That's good.
"The girl followed her mother to Xijing to find her husband. Unexpectedly, the man had married another wife. She had nowhere to go, so I brought her back."
Shen Sirong looked at Wang's reaction as he spoke. His eyes were so clear that people couldn't see whether her words were intentional or unintentional...
When Wang heard the words, she didn't know what she thought of. Her figure shook, and there was a trance in Shen Sirong's eyes, and she hadn't recovered for a long time.
Shen Sirong didn't say anything until the maid outside the door whispered in front of the door, "Madam, the master is back."
Mr. Wang tidyed up his clothes and hair accessories and prepared to go out to welcome him. Only then did he see that Shen Sirong was still on the side. Seeing this, Shen Sirong hurriedly saluted again and said to Wang, "Mom, then Sirong left first." Wang shook her sleeves and signaled that she could leave. Shen Sirong stepped back to the door and then turned around and crossed the doorbar to leave.
When she went out, Shen Sirong sneered at the corners of her mouth. Of course, Wang didn't want her to see Shen Shiyan, and she didn't want to meet him.
As soon as Shen Sirong left, Shen Shiyan came in in his court uniform. Wang took care of himself and hurriedly twisted his waist to greet him: "Sir, you're back."
Shen Shiyan responded with a "um". Wang took a cup of tea from the maid's hand and handed it over. Shen Shiyan was taking off the official hat on his head and shaking his neck left and right. Wang Shi put down the teacup and sat behind Shen Shiyan and gently rubbed his shoulder blades.
"Dad...Dad..." Hearing the cry, Shen Shiyan's closed eyes opened again. As soon as he opened his eyes, he saw Shen Siyi running over. Shen Shiyan smiled dotingly: "What's the hurry? Is it possible for Dad to run away? Shen Siyi smiled coquettishly, and Wang Shi also scolded, "There is no serious person. How can I worry about marrying you to someone else's house at that time?"
Shen Siyi squatted down and put her jaw against Shen Shiyan's knee: "I'll just stay with my father." Shen Shiyan looked at Siyi helplessly, but remembered his other daughter in his mind.
Seeing that Shen Shiyan's expression has changed, he can't see the focus clearly. Wang Shi motioned Shen Siyi to urge the kitchen. When Shen Siyi left, Wang sat next to Shen Shiyan.
"What's wrong? Go to the room and change your clothes and come out for dinner.
Shen Shiyan nod his head, patted the back of Wang's hand and got up and went back to the room. Wang looked at the back he left and turned over the bottle in his heart. Is it difficult for him to still have her in his heart?
After dinner, Shen Shiyan went to the study. He would stay in the study for three quarters almost every night, but today he couldn't calm down. The housekeeper had just told him that Sirong went to the account room to get money. Thinking of today, his heart was full of uneasiness spreading.
Shen Shiyan threw the book in his hand on the table irritably, hesitated for a while, and finally stood up, told the dwarf to say a few words, and walked to the backyard alone.
Shen Sirong went back to his yard and ate something at will. The wet nurse's health was not very well. Shen Sirong urged her to go back to rest early. She sat in the room and picked up a book and read it, while the maid Chunliu held the lamp outside the door. After a long time, Sirong felt that her neck was stiff and put the book on the table. The candlestick had a long time left. Shen Sirong stood up and walked to the door.
"Chunliu, come with me."
After saying that, no one agreed. Shen Sirong looked to the right. Chunliu stood against the door, holding a lantern in his hand, and fell asleep with his eyes closed.
Shen Sirong shook his head and patted her on the shoulder. Chunliu shudged and fell the lantern in his hand to the ground in shock. Looking at it again, Shen Sirong was looking at her. She knelt down and kowtowed while constantly confessing: "Miss Siyi, I didn't mean to. Don't punish me. Don't punish me..."
Shen Sirong pulled her up and said, "It's me, not Siyi. Well, you've been tired all day. Go back to your room and rest. I'll call you if there's anything. After saying that, she took over the lantern in her hand and hung it high.
In addition to the freehand work saved today, Chunliu is the only maid in this yard. In Shen's house, no one wants to come to this yard to serve her. Chunliu used to be a maid beside Shen Siyi. Later, she somehow made Shen Siyi angry and insisted on driving her away. She happened to be hit by her and saved her, so she brought her to Xiaoyuan.
The yard is very small. Shen Sirong walked alone to the center. As soon as the moon crossed the high wall, he could see it when he raised his eyes.
"Sirong." A deep and heavy voice came, and Shen Sirong's figure was stunned. She was just stuck in her thoughts and didn't hear anyone coming behind her.
At this time, Shen Sirong listened to this call and only felt strange and surprised. This person is Shen Shiyan, her father. Shen Sirong turned around, bent down and shouted, "Dad."
She still calls him father, but there is no emotion in this tone except indifference or indifference. Shen Shiyan didn't blame her. He knew in his heart that he was guilty of their mother and daughter.
At first, because of the Wang family, he did not dare to get close to Shen Sirong. He knew that Shen Sirong was wronged and it was not easy to protect her. Later, when he was promoted and completely got rid of the background of the Wang family and had the ability to protect her, Shen Sirong knew the truth and no longer gave him a chance to approach.
A few years ago, Shen Sirong's five officials opened, becoming more and more like Ruan Shi. Every time he saw her, he felt a heavy sense of suffocation. In this way, the more they avoid the two people, the farther they are. Maybe they don't have this father-daughter relationship in their lives.
Shen Shiyan looked at Shen Sirong, who was a few steps away from her, and took out a few silver tickets from his arms and handed them to her. Shen Sirong didn't answer, but looked at him determinedly.
"Take it."
Shen Shiyan didn't say anything, Shen Sirong could also guess that he must have known what happened today. Seeing that his hand was still stretched out, Shen Sirong calmly took it over.
She next is just because Xiaoyuan's expenses are really tight, and today she saved her freehand. This money is undoubtedly the most scarce money she lacks now.
"Thank you, Dad."
Shen Shiyan was silent and looked up at the night sky. A gust of wind rose, and the clouds slowly surged, finally covering the moon.
"It's been another year in a flash. Today, have you gone up the mountain?" Shen Shiyan asked.
"Hmm."
Responding, Shen Sirong still felt that it was not enough. He paused and added, "Today is July 22nd, and it's Mother's Sacrificial Day again." When Shen Sirong said this, he kept staring at Shen Shiyan.
She wanted to know what her mother was in his heart and whether there was a little weight. Shen Shiyan's shoulder moved, and his heart was stirred up by these words. He turned around and looked at Shen Sirong: "It's been 16 years."
