Chapter Seven, The Shen Family Courtyard (Part One)

Dark Small Medium Large Original Scroll to Bottom

Silently listening above, he thought: "This fall was quite severe, to the point that even the energy to curse is gone." He knew this matter was not over, yet he did not take it to heart in the slightest

The stout man was intimidated by him and turned his head to look at the young man in brocade. The young man impatiently said, "Let him walk on his own." It was then that he remembered that this fellow had been admitted because of a snake bite. Although he appeared to be fine, who could tell if the poison had been completely eradicated? Could he suddenly collapse?

Upon entering the courtyard, I saw the bruised and battered "Seventh Miss," with her hands and feet in splints, sitting on a cart, squinting and smiling at me. It should have been a cold or smug smile, but her face was swollen like a large eggplant, making it amusing no matter how you looked at it

A young man, adorned with a tassel hat and dressed in a green silk robe, appeared at the door, casually waving a gold-flecked fan. He was merely sixteen or seventeen years old, yet he exuded an air of arrogance, addressing Shen Mo with his nostrils flared: "Are you the one who injured Miss Qi?"

"Am I really that handsome?" Unexpectedly, the Fourth Young Master was not angry but rather pleased, touching his face and asking Shen Mo, "Am I truly as handsome as Tang Seng?"

After a while, Shen Mo heard faint sounds of shouting and commotion coming from downstairs, as if the old woman was urging her husband to go upstairs for revenge. The man was unwilling, and the old woman scolded him fiercely, calling him a useless coward, before grabbing a rolling pin and storming upstairs herself

The woman, seeing that the door was still ajar, peered through the gap and indeed spotted a basket sitting atop the door. She couldn't help but sneer repeatedly, saying, "I won't be fooled again!" She tilted her head back, stood on her tiptoes, and gripped her stick tightly, thrusting it upward with all her might, and sure enough, she knocked the basket down.

After he finished singing, the young master turned around and smiled, saying: "This song of yours is quite interesting. Who taught you this?"

"Hmm, listen carefully," said the man in a deep voice. "Miss Qi is our young master's cousin, the one who lives downstairs from you."

Shen Mo, with a puzzled expression, asked: "May I ask who Miss Seven is?"

The man did not rush into the room, but instead surveyed the surroundings in all directions. Only after confirming safety did he stride in, stepping aside to clear the doorway. He also did not forget to kick away the watermelon rind on the ground

He quietly leaned by the window, observing the small bridge and flowing water outside, gazing at the smooth, slick bluestone streets, watching the black-sailed boats coming and going, and looking at the men and women dressed in long gowns and short shirts. They were working and laughing, and occasionally someone would look up at this young man peering out the window, eliciting a burst of friendly laughter.

"Good lad, you have quite an eye for detail," said the fourth son with a large nose, smiling happily. "Very few people can recognize my depth."

At that time, the group of children understood and surrounded the plump Seventh Girl on the large cart, chattering and making faces, saying: "Old witch, old witch..."

"Haha, are you out of tricks? You little girl. " The plump woman pushed the door open with a flourish, held her head high, and proudly stepped over the threshold into the room

Shen Mo leaned against the railing, trembling as he descended the stairs. The young man in splendid attire walked ahead with an air of arrogance, while the burly man walked at the rear with his head bowed, flanking him on either side, as if escorting a prisoner.

However, accidents are everywhere. As soon as her right foot landed, she felt as if she were stepping on a mirror. Looking down, she realized she had stepped on a large piece of watermelon rind. Suddenly, with a "slip" sound, the plump woman fell backward, landing on her back. As the saying goes, misfortunes never come singly; her calf got caught on the threshold. With added force, her descent accelerated dramatically, and she fell out with a crash, as if pushing a mountain of gold or toppling a jade pillar.

Shen Mo had just straightened his body when a loud bang echoed as the door was kicked open, revealing a large man with a round face and big ears standing before him.

He was not mistaken; it is still not dark, and trouble has arrived

In this era, the story of Tang Seng's journey to the West has become well-known to every household. Moreover, his excellent voice and playful, humorous singing style attract men and women from various theaters to come and watch, with some children following behind, giggling and listening to his songs

Then the tall man stepped forward, intending to lift Shen Mo up. Shen Mo coughed once and coldly laughed, saying: "Do you dare to touch me? Can't you see that I look sickly, like I'm made of paper? If you cause me any harm, will it be counted against you or your young master?" This was purely a blatant lie; his recent diet had been too good, and his small face was flushed, looking nothing like someone on the verge of death.

Silence nearly choked him, as he thought to himself that the husband of that plump woman must have heard her name without seeing her, which led him to mistakenly enter a den of wolves. However, he calmly stated in a faint tone, "It was not I who injured her; she fell and hurt herself."

Shen Mo was lost in thought when he heard the noisy voices coming from the courtyard, followed immediately by the sound of footsteps ascending the stairs.

"Do not attempt to argue your way out of this," the young man said with a cold smile. "You must understand that our Shen family has strict rules, and fighting among relatives is strictly prohibited!" As he spoke, he snapped his folding fan and added, "Why haven't you bound him yet? Take him to the elder to receive the family punishment!"

This is my life, the silence said to itself, waving goodbye to the world of dreams...

The young man in the brocade robe snorted, making his nostrils appear even larger, and said to the burly man beside him: "Tell him who the Seventh Young Lady is"

Accompanied by a wailing reminiscent of a slaughtered pig, the plump woman rolled down the narrow staircase like a large rubber ball... This feeling was so familiar. However, this time her husband had learned his lesson; upon seeing such a massive figure tumbling down, without a moment's hesitation, he sidestepped, watching helplessly as the woman fell in a disheveled heap, limbs splayed in all directions.

Silently gazing at his face, which resembled a crooked melon, he spoke nonsensically: "Young master, with your graceful demeanor and handsome appearance, you are as charming as Pan An, loved by all, and flowers bloom in your presence!"

Ah, hetushu.com. In this world, there is no shortage of beauty; what is lacking is the eye that discovers beauty. "Silence said solemnly

After the three of them exited the small courtyard, the seventh young lady instructed her man to push the large cart behind them. The five of them then lined up in the corridor and walked forward. ... Looking around in silence, she suddenly recalled a nursery rhyme she had sung in her childhood, which seemed so fitting for the moment, and she began to sing at the top of her lungs ...

Seventh Young Lady naturally understood and exclaimed in exasperation, "Fourth Young Master, he is insulting you by calling you Tang Seng!"

Silently rolling his eyes, he wondered whether this young man was exceptionally wise yet appeared foolish, or simply foolish and lacking intelligence

Tang Seng donned a green cassock, followed closely by Sun Wukong; Sun Wukong, swift in his movements, was followed by Zhu Bajie; Zhu Bajie, stout in stature, was followed by Sha Seng; Sha Seng, pushing a cart, had an old witch seated upon it, the old witch truly wicked, having deceived Tang Seng and Bajie; Tang Seng and Bajie were indeed foolish, unable to distinguish between human and monster; unable to discern, they fell into the trap, thanks to Sun Wukong's keen eyes; with keen eyes, shining with golden light, he raised the Golden Staff high; the Golden Staff, imbued with strength, swept away all demons and monsters

Everything feels so vivid, everything seems so familiar, without a hint of estrangement, as if he has belonged here from the very beginning
