Chapter 5: Killing

At dawn the next day, the first light color of the early morning fell into the snowmelt courtyard, and also reflected the flowers and branches in the courtyard, which was pleasant and beautiful.

Shen Fengxu and Shen Baitang were having breakfast.

"Second sister eat slowly, it's still early, and she won't be late. Shen Fengxu smiled slightly, carefully picked up the dishes for her, and said, "Even if it is a while and a half late, presumably the master will not blame." ”

Shen Baitang lowered his head and took a sip of lotus seed and lily porridge, then smiled, and said, "There is still half a year for you to apply for the White Deer Academy, and you should also read more." ”

Da Luowen is prosperous, women are also literate and literate, and most of the children of powerful people in Beijing study in Bailu Academy.

Bailu Academy is famous, it is the first academy in Beijing, the academy is divided into male and female study halls, with six arts, for the number of imperial books for ritual music, anyone who has reached the age of 12 can apply for the examination.

"Second sister, rest assured, although I am only a shallow learner, it is not difficult for me to enroll in school. Shen Fengxu smiled slightly.

"By the way, I do remember something. Shen Baitang fiddled with the earrings lightly, "A few days ago, I was practicing calligraphy in the academy, and your post was placed on the table, and it happened that the master saw it, and he was full of praise for your words, and even said that even the eldest sister's words are not as good as yours." ”

Everyone in Beijing is well-known, and Shen Yulou, the eldest girl of Dongning Bofu, is naturally jade, beautiful and wise, not only with a bright complexion, but also a talented group.

It's just that although Shen Yulou is talented and beautiful, how can there be a perfect person in this world, if you talk about handwriting alone, Shen Fengxu is still better.

Without him, Shen Fengxu was in the snowmelt courtyard all the year round, bored, idle, except for the pen and post, there was no pastime, and after years of years, he practiced a good hand.

"Second sister, don't laugh at me, I can only write a word or two, but if you get serious, where is my half leeway. Shen Fengxu tilted his head and smiled, "If I don't work hard to learn calligraphy, I'm afraid I won't be able to keep up with the second sister at all." ”

"It's your sweet mouth, okay, don't gossip with you, I should also get up and go to the academy. Shen Baitang said, stood up, and instructed again, "If something happens and you can't solve it yourself, send someone to me, if I have time, I will definitely come." ”

"Okay, second sister go slowly. Shen Fengxu also got up and sent Shen Baitang to the Hanging Flower Gate.

......

After Shen Baitang left, the Snow Melting Courtyard was much quieter.

After last night, Cai Lian closed the door, presumably concentrating on embroidering the purse. And Caihe lived in the same room as her, and when she saw Cailian like this, she couldn't help but be a little frightened, and she was much more cautious and meticulous in her work.

After changing clothes, Shen Fengxu carried Dansha to the lotus pond.

It is the golden spring, the house is full of beautiful and sultry spring colors, pavilions and pavilions cover each other, and the flowers in the courtyard are blooming, which is dizzying.

There are no lotus flowers in the lotus pond, but the willows by the pond hang down the water, and a breeze blows by, and there are ripples on the surface of the pool.

Shen Fengxu stood on the edge of the pool and asked, "Where did I fall yesterday?"

"This is it. Dansha pointed to the rockery on the side, "The maid remembers it clearly, it was here in the rockery at that time, and the girl and the four girls had a dispute, and one of them stumbled and fell into the water." ”

Shen Fengxu walked two steps slowly, suddenly bent down, picked up a few small stones at the foot of the rockery, and weighed them slightly in the palm of his hand.

"I remember that the lotus pond was paved with marble, for fear that someone would accidentally fall into the pool. Shen Fengxu's beautiful eyebrows twisted slightly, "The marble is carefully polished and smoothed by craftsmen, and there can never be extra stones." ”

These small stones on the side of the road seem to be unremarkable, but if you step on them, you will fall into the lotus pond nine times out of ten.

Dansha was stunned for a moment, and when she reacted, she almost exclaimed: "Is someone trying to harm the girl?!" Could it be the eldest lady?"

Suddenly, a wind blew, blowing up the willow branches on the side, as if there was a killing intent in the air and rolling, which made people shudder.

Shen Fengxu's expression was calm and calm, and he casually threw the stone into the lotus pond, causing a splash: "The key person is not only me, I was here with Shen Yuxiang that day, it was either me or her, even if the eldest lady wanted to harm me, she would not borrow Shen Yuxiang's hand, and she would not be willing to let her daughter be injured." ”

"Why did the girl throw the stone? Isn't there no evidence now?" Dansha said hurriedly, "The maid will go and tell the master, and never indulge in those with bad intentions." ”

"You...... Don't be so anxious. Shen Fengxu shook his head slightly, "A few stones can't explain anything, there is no way to investigate at all, it is better to pretend to know nothing and let others relax their vigilance." ”

"Yes, but...... If it weren't for the eldest lady, who would the girl think would be?"

"I don't know, let's take it one step at a time. Shen Fengxu said, and walked forward, "Don't delay here for too long, it's time to go and say hello to the old lady." ”

"Yes. ”

............

......

There is an old lady Meng in Dongningbo's mansion, since the death of the old Dongningbo, he lived in Yunsong Courtyard, and the old Dongningbo has no heirs, only Shen Yanning and Shen Yanping's two sons.

The eldest house Shen Yanning is Dongning Bo, has a wife and wife Jiang, and a son and four daughters, the eldest son Shen Qing, the eldest girl Shen Yulou, the second girl Shen Baitang, the fourth girl Shen Yuxiang, and the sixth girl Shen Fengxu.

Shen Yanping in the second room is now a household servant, with a wife and second wife Liu, as well as a son and three daughters, the second son Shen Cang, the third girl Shen Yuning, the fifth girl Shen Yujia, and the seventh girl Shen Yumin.

This is all the masters in the Dongningbo Mansion.

Naturally, my aunt was not among them.

Before Shen Fengxu walked into Yunsong Courtyard, he saw a young figure in front of him, walking towards Yunsong Courtyard step by step.

The nurse on the side took care of her carefully, for fear that something would be wrong.

So Shen Fengxu called: "Min'er." ”

Shen Yumin, who was only five years old, turned his head when he heard the voice, and said in a milky voice: "Sister...... Sister ......"

It's only a few syllables, but it's hard to vomit.

Shen Fengxu bent down and picked up Shen Yumin, and said with a soft smile: "Let the sixth sister carry you to see your grandmother, okay?"

Shen Yumin smiled stupidly: "Okay." ”

Somehow, Shen Fengxu suddenly remembered that he once had a child, who was her daughter, and he was also so delicate and cute, just a small person, but it seemed to be more sultry than the most precious treasure in the world.

However, her daughter died before she could grow up.

The last thing left for her was the cold heartbreak of that rainy night......

Now seeing Shen Yumin, Shen Fengxu is soft and gentle like never before, holding the young and delicate Shen Yumin in his arms, and walking towards Yunsong Courtyard step by step.

Leaving behind the nurse and Dansha, who were also stunned, stood in place, looking at each other.

In the past, the six girls had never been so gentle and considerate to the seventh girl.
