Chapter 38
The carriage carried Shen Jinyu back to the gate of the house that the emperor had given him. The words "Shen's Mansion" on the tall plaque were particularly eye-catching. This would be his Shen Jinyu's home from now on.

A home just for him.

"Master is back!" As soon as Shen Jinyu stepped into the door, a 50-year-old man greeted him courteously and led him in, "Master, my name is Fu Sheng, and I am the housekeeper of your house. You are not here these days. I have almost taken care of the affairs of the house, "

The man looks honest, short and thin, and walks with a little limp.

"Well," Shen Jinyu nodded, and said coldly, "Where is the ancestral hall? Take me there,"

Fu Sheng: "Okay, the ancestral hall is next to your main courtyard, I will take you there,"

The mansion favored by the emperor was very large. From the main courtyard to his bedroom, he had to go around a garden, in which rockery and small lakes, pavilions and waterside pavilions were built in sequence, quite elegant and grand.

Candles were brightly lit in the ancestral hall, but there was nothing on the altar. Fu Sheng sent him to the door and said, "Master, you can go."

"You step back," Shen Jinyu stepped into the ancestral hall, Fu Sheng retreated knowingly, and closed the door by the way.

Shen Jinyu removed the black cloth that wrapped the spirit tablets, put the spirit tablets of Shen Yuntao and Xiao Lan on the altar, and put the Fulian knife in the middle of the altar, burned a stick of incense again, and then knelt under the altar, heavily Knocked three times,
"Father, mother, forgive me for taking so long to avenge you, the great revenge has been avenged, and you can rest in peace under the Nine Springs, but you will blame me for destroying the child, it's okay, wait for the future The child went down to see you and slowly made amends to you."

Shen Jinyu breathed out, the great revenge had been avenged, logically he should relax, but he couldn't relax, he always felt dull, breathless, and unsteady.

He knew in his heart that since the deal with Yi, he had just stepped into the tiger's den of the imperial court from the wolf den of Changlin, but he didn't regret it, as long as he took revenge, he would not regret anything.

It was late at night, and the candles in the ancestral hall made a "squeaky" sound, and the wind outside was a bit strong, and the blowing window lattices made a "whining" sound, like a ghost crying.

Shen Jinyu knelt in the ancestral hall for a whole night, and when it was dawn the next day, he got up, his knees were already numb and unconscious.

He pushed open the door, and there was light snow outside the door, and the snowflakes fluttered down one after another, falling on his palm, which was icy cold.Looking at the snow all over the sky, he thought of Qi Yue who was still missing. She likes this kind of little snow day the most. She can go out to play in the snow without getting cold easily.I don't know where she is now, whether there is a place to rest in such a cold day, whether she is warmly dressed, whether she is hungry or not.

Through the snowflakes, Shen Jinyu seemed to see Qi Yue playing with snow in the yard that night in the first snow.She was wearing a white cloak, and her white face looked more dazzling than the snow under the cover of the snow. She had big almond eyes, watery, and the eyelashes were not thick but slender and curled up. She smiled crookedly.There is a faint mole under the corner of the eye, and there is a different style when he is not smiling.

Qi Yue's appearance has long been engraved in Shen Jinyu's mind. He doesn't even need to think about it, he can describe her every frown and smile. When she is angry, she is like a bulging bag. When she makes mistakes, she is like a cunning fox. When she is proud, she is like a kitten with its tail up to the sky.

"Qi Yue, please come back, no matter how angry you are, if you come back, Shen Jinyu will apologize to you, you can do whatever you want, please come back to me, please, don't play with me and disappear, I can't bear this Punishment."

Piaoyuan's thoughts were called back by Fu Sheng who suddenly appeared, and Fu Sheng came over with a bowl of steaming ginseng soup, and said worriedly, "Master, you have stayed in the ancestral hall all night, drink a bowl of ginseng soup to warm your body Qu Han, I heard that when you returned to the mansion, many adults have already brought gifts, and the gate of the main courtyard can’t be piled up, and there are still many invitations, what do you want to do with it?"

"Reject them all, just say that I'm not feeling well," Shen Jinyu took the ginseng soup, didn't drink it, but started with the warmth of the soup bowl.

"Yes!" Fu Sheng led Shen Jinyu back to the bedroom, and suddenly asked, "Master, do you know why I came to recruit the housekeeper of Shen's residence?"

Shen Jinyu was baffled by this question. Aren't the servants of the Shen residence all arranged by the emperor?
Shen Jinyu didn't answer, and Fu Sheng continued, "20 years ago, when I was 30 years old, I had some problems with my legs since I was a child, and I walked with a limp. Master, you must have noticed it. Because of this problem, I I have never been able to find a daughter-in-law, and I was always bullied by my fellow villagers. Later, when I was 30 years old, I managed to get a dumb daughter-in-law. In the end, on the wedding day, the village hooligans disrupted the wedding, and my daughter-in-law was almost taken away. Fortunately, The old master and madam appeared to save my wife, they even ate my wedding wine, I have always remembered their kindness all these years, until today I finally got something to repay, when I heard that the owner of this mansion is you Afterwards, I immediately came to apply for the job, and it was a good chance to hire me."

So that's the case, I didn't expect Fu Sheng and his parents to have such a chance.

"Then what do you think my parents are like?" Shen Jinyu asked.

"Brother Shen is a very kind person. I can't even imagine that he came to eat the wedding wine of a lame and dumb man with such a great status. As for Mrs. Shen, she has a quick temper and a bad temper. I still remember her scolding that When I was a few gangsters, my mouth was very strong. I was stunned by scolding. When I came to the wedding, I was drunk. The daughter-in-law kept making gestures," Fu Sheng said with a smile.

Shen Jinyu couldn't help laughing, he had never seen his parents, and he didn't know what kind of temperament his parents were. Now he heard it from the ears of others, as if those two people were standing in front of him alive.

Unexpectedly, his father is famously gentle and elegant, and his mother's temper is so hot. What a magical combination.

Fu Sheng: "I have been looked down upon all my life. Brother Shen and his wife are the only ones who regard me as a normal person. I am very grateful from the bottom of my heart. I have always wanted to find an opportunity to repay them. I have been paying attention to them all these years. About Changlin, I heard that you killed the murderer who killed Big Brother Shen back then, I was so happy, later I heard that you became an official and the mansion recruited people, so I came, "

"Master, don't worry, I'm not the court's eyeliner, I'm here to repay the favor, all the servants in this mansion are selected by me, you can rest assured," Fu Sheng knew Shen Jinyu's worry, assured .

"Okay," Shen Jinyu calmed down and asked, "Where's your dumb daughter-in-law?"

Fu Sheng: "She's at home,"

Shen Jinyu said lightly, "Bring her over to the mansion some other day, you don't have to worry about being alone there when she doesn't know how to talk,"

Fu Sheng clapped his hands happily, "Okay! Thank you, master!"
