After breakfast, Yun Luochuan, dressed in white brocade clothes and a jade crown, left Yun Mansion carrying two boxes of tea. He came to the door next door and saw the word "Shen Zhai" written on the plaque, and his heart pounded. It jumped a little. This family also has the surname Shen!
He held the copper ring on the door with his hand and knocked. After a while, a skinny child opened the door, tilted his head and looked at him with a pair of eyes that were particularly big because of his thinness, and asked in a low voice, somewhat embarrassed: " You, who are you looking for?"
With a gentle smile on his face, Yun Luochuan looked at the child and replied, "I am from the Yun Mansion next door. I heard that there is a new neighbor next door, so I came here to visit."
Seeing that he was still holding this thing in his hand, Xiaoyi knew that he was not telling lies, so he said truthfully: "Madam went out early in the morning and was not at home."
"What about your master?" Yun Luochuan asked again. Madam is not at home, so this master should be here!
Xiaoyi said: "We don't have a master in our family."
"No master?" Yun Luochuan frowned slightly.
Xiaoyi nodded and said: "Our wife's husband died in the war, and there are only my wife and young master in the family." The honest Xiaoyi made a thorough investigation of his master's situation.
There was only the madam and the young master. "Your master's surname is Shen?" Yun Luochuan asked again.
Xiao Yi thought for a while and said, "I don't know what our master's surname is? But our wife and young master are both named Shen."
She was from the Imperial City, her surname was Shen. Her husband died in the battle, and her child also took her surname. Her voice sounded very familiar to him. He only knew one person with the surname Shen in the Imperial City, and that was Shen Wan, the wife of General Zhenbei. But , she is already dead and will never appear in Jiangzhou City.
"Xiaoyi, who are you talking to?" Zhong Dashi yawned and walked over.
Xiaoyi: "The neighbor next door is here to visit."
Zhong Dashi stood behind Xiaoyi and saw clearly the person standing outside the door. Seeing that the person was a man with a pretty face, he immediately frowned and said in a bad tone: "Our wife is not here, what's more... If you don’t accept visits from strangers, please leave immediately and don’t come back again in the future.”
After saying that, he said to Xiaoyi: "Close the door."
"Oh..." Xiaoyi glanced at Yun Luochuan and closed the door.
Yun Luochuan frowned slightly as he looked at the closed door. Judging from the appearance of this man, he should be a servant of the Shen family. The male voice he heard yesterday seemed to belong to this man. However, he felt that something was wrong with this man. , seemed to be full of hostility towards him. The child just now was the gatekeeper, and he naturally knew best whether the master would accept visits from strangers. But after the child heard that he was here to visit, he did not It is said that the master does not see stranger visitors, but he answers whatever is asked. Obviously, the master of the Shen family does not refuse visits from strangers, so there is something very wrong with this servant.
After the door was closed, Zhong Dashi looked at Xiao Yi and said: "If there are such strange men visiting us again in the future, don't let them in. Just say that my wife accepts visits from strangers and just send them away."
Xiao Yi frowned lightly and whispered: "But Madam didn't give any instructions!" When Sister Hui'er taught him, she said that if a guest comes to visit, he should inform him first. If he knows someone, please go to the hall first. Go and report again. If you don’t know someone, report him first, and wait until she or his wife agree before letting the person in. But Brother Da Shi directly asked him to drive the person away. Should he listen to Brother Da Shi or should he? Listen to sister Huier?
