Chapter 1085 The Short-lived Husband Has Lived Long (5)
"What do you two want to see?"
The silk shop owner asked enthusiastically.
Song Huaizhou pointed at Yun Shen behind him and said, "Pick some good fabrics for him to make some clothes."
The silk shop owner looked in the direction of Song Huaizhou's finger and looked at Yun Shen. After taking a quick look, he said, "This young man has a great figure. We happen to have a few sets of top-quality ready-made clothes that fit your size. Would you like to take a look?"
Song Huaizhou nodded, "Then let's take a look."
The silk shop owner bowed and gestured for them to come over. "Gentlemen, please come this way."
Song Huaizhou was afraid that Yun Shen would go in the wrong direction, so he took Yun Shen's hand and led him in the direction pointed by the silk shop owner.
Yun Shen also cooperated and pretended to be blind.
In order to pretend to be blind to the end, Yun Shen directly handed the task of choosing clothes to Song Huaizhou.
Song Huaizhou chose for a long time among a pile of ready-made clothes before he picked out a moon-white robe that he was quite satisfied with.
Song Huaizhou felt that Yunshen was very suitable for the moonlight white color, because as long as Yunshen stood there, there was a feeling of bright sunshine and clear moon.
After selecting the clothes, Song Huaizhou chose a few more pieces of fabric and asked the owner of the silk shop to make them into clothes.
After making an appointment with the owner of the silk shop to pick up the clothes, Yun Shen and Song Huaizhou left the shop.
Not long after the two walked out of the silk shop, they ran into an acquaintance.
To be precise, it was Song Huaizhou’s former good friend, Si Qi.
Si Qi looked at Song Huaizhou in surprise, "Brother Huaizhi! Are you willing to leave the house?"
Song Huaizhou nodded slightly, "Brother Qizhi, I haven't seen you for a long time."
After the two of them greeted each other, Si Qi politely turned his gaze to Yun Shen and asked Song Huaizhou, "Brother Huaizhi, who is this?"
Song Huaizhou introduced: "He is my...wife, Yun Shen."
Si Qi responded, "It turned out to be my sister-in-law."
The people of Da Sheng are open-minded, and there are many who marry men. It's just that few aristocratic families marry men, but there are some who do, so Si Qi was not surprised that Song Huaizhou married a man.
Si Qi bowed to Yun Shen and said, "Greetings, sister-in-law."
Yun Shen returned the greeting, "Master Si."
After Song Huaizhou and Si Qi exchanged a few words about each other's recent situation, Song Huaizhou thought that Yun Shen might be tired from standing all the time, so he said goodbye at the right time.
But Si Qi still wanted to chat more with his old friend Song Huaizhou, so he suggested: "Brother Huaizhi, I heard that there is a poetry gathering in the south of the city. I was planning to go and take a look. Would you like to go with me?"
Song Huaizhou subconsciously turned his head to look at Yun Shen, asking for Yun Shen's opinion.
"do you want to go?"
Yun Shen did not answer this question, but only replied, "If my husband wants to go, then I will go with him."
Si Qi took the opportunity to greet him warmly: "Brother Huaizhi, take my sister-in-law to have a look."
Finally, at Si Qi's strong invitation, Song Huaizhou agreed to attend the poetry meeting.
The poetry gathering was lively and grand, and almost all the famous talented men and beautiful women and young men of noble families in the capital came.
When Yun Shen pushed Song Huaizhou over, he attracted the attention of many people present.
Of course, the focus is still on Song Huaizhou.
It’s not only because Song Huaizhou hasn’t appeared in public for a long time, but also because Song Huaizhou has always been the focus of poetry meetings.
There was a saying circulating in the capital in the past that as long as Song Huaizhou appeared at a poetry meeting, the champion of the poetry meeting would definitely be Song Huaizhou, and no one else would take the title.
This also aroused the competitive spirit of many people. Every time Song Huaizhou appeared at a poetry meeting, he would attract countless talented men and women to compete with him in poetry, but in the end Song Huaizhou always won.
It was not until three years ago that Song Huaizhou stopped appearing at any poetry gathering and the title of poetry gathering champion fell to someone else.
People sighed over this, feeling that without Song Huaizhou's poetry readings, there was less fun.
Perhaps it’s because they lost a goal that they wanted to surpass.
After three years, Song Huaizhou finally appeared at the poetry meeting again. How could those who had tried their best to beat him not be excited?
As soon as Yun Shen stopped, a large group of people surrounded Song Huaizhou.
Everyone greeted Song Huaizhou with a chattering voice.
"Brother Song, you finally showed up! It's worth it that I didn't miss any of the poetry gatherings in the past three years."
"Brother Huaizhi, I recently wrote a new poem, and I hope you can comment on it."
"Song Huaizhou, isn't it just a small incident? I made you hide for three years and even refused to come to the poetry meeting."
"Huai Zhou, since you are here today, you must let us see the style of the former champion of the poetry gathering again."
Song Huaizhou's eyes were slightly red. He thought that when he appeared in front of people again, they would talk about his legs and use it to ridicule him, laugh at him, or sympathize with him.
But he didn't expect that they would treat him as usual, as if his legs had never been disabled and he was still the proud Song Huaizhou.
Song Huaizhou responded to the greetings from these old friends one by one and introduced Yun Shen behind him to them.
Yun Shen also greeted them.
Just as several people were having a lively conversation, an incongruous, mocking voice came from afar.
"A useless person with crippled legs is also coming to the poetry reading?"
The people who were talking stopped talking at the same time and turned to look at the source of the sound.
Facing the contemptuous gazes of the crowd, Yun Cong took a proud step and walked towards Yun Shen and Song Huaizhou step by step.
"Brother, the young marquis is already in this state, so please don't bring him out to embarrass himself."
Yun Shen smiled slightly and calmly retorted: "Aren't you the one who is embarrassing yourself? Where have you read the Four Books and Five Classics? You don't respect your elder brother, and your words are disrespectful and disrespectful. It's a disgrace to the culture."
Song Huaizhou's friends also ridiculed him.
"I thought it was someone's dog barking, but it turned out to be Second Young Master Yun. I am so disrespectful."
"Since when can people without any knowledge of literature come to participate in poetry readings?"
"There is nothing in the first place, so where can we get dust?"
Yun Cong was speechless.
Just as Yun Cong was about to make a scene, the person behind him pulled him back in time.
Ming Qing tried to smooth things over, saying, "Mr. Yun was used to fooling around with his brother, and he lost his temper for a moment. I hope you can forgive me and not blame him."
The few of them didn't want to make the poetry gathering chaotic and affect Song Huaizhou's mood, so they gave Ming Qing some face and didn't bother with Yun Cong anymore.
Ming Qing looked at Song Huaizhou, "Brother Huaizhi, long time no see."
Song Huaizhou nodded slightly and responded politely, "Brother Mingqing."
Ming Qing looked at Si Qi who was beside Song Huaizhou again, "Brother Qizhi."
Si Qi responded perfunctorily, "Brother Mingqing."
As if hurt by Si Qi's attitude, Ming Qing's eyes dimmed, and he lowered his eyes and said goodbye: "Thank you all for your magnanimity, I won't bother you anymore."
After Ming Qing left, Si Qi muttered quietly, "You only know how to be a peacemaker every day, but you don't even know who you are protecting."
Although Si Qi's voice was small, it still did not escape Yun Shen's ears.
Yun Shen glanced at Si Qi inconspicuously, and when he saw Si Qi's marriage line, he couldn't help but raise his eyebrows slightly.
Interestingly, Si Qi and Ming Qing’s relationship seems to be about to break because of Yun Cong’s intervention.
However, as long as he is there, he can continue this marriage even if it is broken.
333 noticed Yun Shen's thoughts and asked in confusion: "Host, aren't you always too lazy to meddle in other people's business?"
How come the host is also interfering in other people's marriages like the adults? Could it be that the adults have infected him with the habit of being a matchmaker?
Yun Shen twisted his fingers and said, "Of course I don't want to meddle in other people's business, but as long as it can make Yun Cong suffer, I will definitely take care of this matter."
Yun Shen had read the face of his little wolf cub, or to be more exact, he had read the face of Song Huaizhou.
Song Huaizhou's facial features showed that he had been harmed by a villain, which resulted in his body being disabled.
Therefore, Yun Shen had long known that Song Huaizhou's broken leg was not an accident. It was not until he looked at Yun Cong's face just now that Yun Shen was sure who this villain was.
Yun Shen had long guessed that the villain must be from the Duke's Mansion. After all, it was the Duke's Mansion's carriage that lost control and caused Song Huaizhou to break his leg.
But Yun Shen did not expect that the villain was actually Yun Cong.
Judging from the original owner's memory, Yun Cong was taught by Dou since he was a child and was a brainless and arrogant fool, but it turned out that he was also a vicious fool.
But why did Yun Chong want to harm Song Huaizhou? Was it because of jealousy?
Yun Shen actually guessed correctly. Yun Cong had indeed planned this "accident" out of jealousy of Song Huaizhou.
In the past, Song Huaizhou could be described as a child of destiny and a role model for children from aristocratic families.
Yunling often mentioned Song Huaizhou, saying that it would be great if Song Huaizhou was his son. With Song Huaizhou's abilities, he would definitely be able to help him bring honor to his family.
Yun Chong listened to Yun Ling praising Song Huaizhou every day, but when facing him, he only belittled him.
After a long time, Yun Chong naturally felt unbalanced.
Later, Song Huaizhou became the top scorer in the imperial examination at the age of fifteen, and became extremely famous. Yun Cong's jealousy towards Song Huaizhou turned into hatred.
That day, Yun Cong accidentally heard that Si Qi had invited Song Huaizhou to have tea at Wang'an Tower. Yun Cong immediately came up with a vicious plan to destroy Song Huaizhou.
Yun Cong secretly followed Song Huaizhou to Wang'an Tower, and then, at the right moment, he kicked the horse hard. The horse was frightened and started to run rampant with the empty carriage.
Yun Cong was certain that with Song Huaizhou's character, he would never sit idly by.
In the end, just as Yun Cong had expected, Song Huaizhou had both legs broken by a horse's hooves while trying to save people, and he became depressed ever since.
Song Huaizhou looked at Yun Shen who was obviously in a daze, gently tugged at Yun Shen's sleeve, and asked in a gentle voice: "What's wrong? Are you tired?"
Yun Shen collected his thoughts and replied, "Nothing, just thinking about something."
Song Huaizhou did not continue to ask questions.
Of course, even if Song Huaizhou asked, Yun Shen couldn't tell the truth.
Because Yun Shen was thinking about how to let Yun Cong also experience the feeling of having crippled legs.
After caring about Yun Shen, Song Huaizhou looked at Si Qi and asked, "Brother Qizhi, has anything happened between you and Brother Mingqing? I see that you two seem to have become more distant."
Si Qi snorted, "He and I are not familiar with each other."
Song Huaizhou organized his words a little, "But didn't you often go in and out together before?"
In fact, Song Huaizhou's words were quite euphemistic. In the past, Si Qi and Ming Qing were inseparable. They would take each other with them wherever they went. They were always together and were closer than married couples.
Their good friends often joked that they might as well just marry each other.
But now the two of them looked like strangers.
Si Qi still didn't want to say more, and only replied, "We parted ways."
Song Huaizhou was even more confused. How could Si Qi and Ming Qing go their separate ways?
It was the friends around him who answered Song Huaizhou's questions.
"He doesn't want to say it, so we tell you."
"Actually, it's nothing. He was just angry because Mingqing had a new love."
Song Huaizhou thought about what happened just now and asked, "Are you on good terms with Yun Cong now?"
The friends nodded.
Song Huaizhou was puzzled, "Didn't Mingqing dislike Yuncong very much in the past?"
Friends shook their heads, "We don't know what happened, but Ming Qing suddenly became friends with Yun Cong."
Si Qi waved his hand, "Don't mention that traitor, it's unlucky."
It was Mingqing who had told him that Yuncong was a bad person and asked him not to have too much contact with him, but Mingqing himself secretly became friends with Yuncong.
Mingqing is a big liar!
Song Huaizhou was afraid that Si Qi would be sad, so he didn't ask any more questions. However, Yun Shen looked at Si Qi thoughtfully.
Judging from his experience as a person who has been through this, Si Qi looked like he was obviously still waiting for Ming Qing to explain to him.
As long as Mingqing can take the initiative to explain the misunderstanding, the marriage thread should not be broken.
I’m afraid that neither of them has a mouth, and he will have to take action in the end.
I hope Mingqing can keep his mouth shut and save him some trouble.
Just as Yun Shen was thinking about how to get Ming Qing to speak first, 333 burst into tears.
Yun Shen knocked on 333's head and said, "San'er, stop making noise."
333 complained aggrievedly: "Host, do you know what the most painful thing is?"
Without waiting for Yun Shen to speak, 333 gave the answer himself.
"I was just enjoying the melon, but then nothing happened."
Yun Shen smiled. Don’t we have someone to run errands for us?
"San'er, do you want to eat the first-hand melon?"
333 stopped crying immediately, his eyes lit up, and he nodded frantically, "Think about it!"
Yun Shen said seriously, "If you want to eat melons, you have to put in the effort, right?"
333 continued to nod, "Yes, yes, yes!"
Yun Shen was very satisfied with 333's performance and stated his ultimate goal, "San'er, I have a good way to let you hear the follow-up."
333 asked excitedly: "What's the solution, host?"
Yun Shen gave a plain answer, "Go and have a drink with Ming Qing and get some gossip out of him yourself."
333 suddenly realized: "Yes, I can go and ask in person."
Yun Shen encouraged, “Go ahead.”
333 nodded, "Host, I'll go then."
After 333 left, Yun Shen curled his lips slightly. Very good, he could continue to be a lazy fish.
At this time, Song Huaizhou had already started writing poetry with his friends.
"Brother Huaizhou, the theme of this poetry gathering is spring. Do you have any ideas?"
Song Huaizhou thought for a moment, then replied, "Yes."
The man shook his head and laughed, "Brother Huaizhou is still so quick-witted."
Song Huaizhou didn't say much, but wrote his poem directly on the paper.
The bright moon accompanies the gentle breeze, and flowers and leaves emerge from the branches.
The warm sun shines on my face, it turns out that spring is coming.
