On the fourteenth day of the lunar month, Shen Moyun and his party finally entered Zhili Prefecture. Seeing that the imperial city was in sight, in a small town less than fifty miles away from the south gate of the capital, Shen Moyun ordered the convoy to stop.

A group of people were puzzled, this eldest lady urged them to hurry up all the way, why did she suddenly become so leisurely and free? The most incredible thing was that she actually ordered Li Da to find the inn.

"You don't have to think about it, I want to enter Beijing the day after tomorrow. ”

The day after tomorrow, everyone couldn't help but think about it, the day after tomorrow, the sixteenth day of the lunar month, it was Shen Mu's thirty-fiveth, no, it should be the thirty-sixth birthday.

There is a saying that the Great Zhou Dynasty has a "dark nine" birthday. "Ten is full, full is loss", therefore, people will have a good birthday at 4936, which means full happiness and longevity. However, there is a saying among the people that men are "virtual" and women are "real". Therefore, the thirty-five-year-old Shen Mu is about to have a thirty-six-year-old birthday.

Shen Moyun knows her father too well, she is elegant and humble on the outside, but in fact she is calculating. First, he will definitely not let go of this good time to receive gift money. Second, I'm afraid he is looking forward to this kind of good day when he can make friends with the top and the powerful every day!

She took out the picture from the back frame of the carriage that she had been writing for a whole month.

There are only four simple words in this painting: Fu Lu Shuangquan. However, it took her a whole month, she conceived, she laid out, she mixed colors, tried again and again according to the font arrangement, and wrote hundreds of times before she succeeded in piecing together 996 "Shou" characters with different styles and sizes into a pair of vigorous and powerful, rigid and soft "Fu Lu Shuangquan", plus those four words, it is a well-deserved "Fu Lu Qianshou".

She was willing to spend so much effort just for the promise her father gave her more than four years ago. He said: "In the past few years, you can only work hard Yun'er, Yun'er keeps filial piety well, and in the autumn of three years, as soon as the filial piety period is over, my father will personally drive a two-headed carriage to take you back to Beijing! From then on, my father will definitely make you worry-free about food and clothing, happy and healthy!"

She smiled and responded with tears in her eyes, she knew her father, although she knew that he was most likely just perfunctory to her and the crowd of onlookers, just to make a name for himself. But in the bottom of her heart, she has been faintly looking forward to the arrival of this autumn.

Those days and nights of writing, she really hoped that he, the father, could take her back as soon as possible, and she could be blessed with both.

It's a pity! Autumn goes to winter, and the sweet dream of yellow sorghum is going to wake up after all!

In that case, she has to plan for herself after all! They don't want her to go back, they all want her to be forgotten in the far south, right?

Then she wants to make a strong comeback! She just wants to appear unexpectedly in front of those who hate her! She wants to shout "Daddy" in front of a full house!

She wants to remind the subordinates of the Shen Mansion that she is the eldest daughter of the Shen family; she wants to let those who hate her know that she is no longer at their mercy everywhere; and even reminds all the male guests, female dependents, and young ladies that there is also an eldest lady in the Shen Mansion, a Shen Moyun who has been filial piety to her mother for three whole years and is praying for the blessing of the Shen family.

She lowered her head and put the painting into the gift box, and for a moment, she really couldn't wait to see the surprised eyes and frightened expressions of those people.

The time of the two days passed in a flash, and at the beginning of the sixteenth day of the lunar month, Shen Moyun took Chunsheng, Lan Xinhuixin took the first step, set off to the capital, and ordered Uncle Gu's remaining two carriages to set off after an hour.

Most of the official roads around the capital were smooth and wide, and it only took more than half an hour for Shen Moyun and his party to enter the south gate.

After another pillar of incense, I turned the corner, and finally saw the Shen Mansion that was full of lights and was very lively today.

Shen Moyun ordered the coachman to park the car at the intersection more than 20 zhang away from the Shen Mansion and quietly opened the curtains of the car.

At this time, the Zhu Gate of the Shen Mansion was wide open, and Shen Moyun's father, Shen Mu, who had not seen him for four and a half years, was surrounded by two housekeepers, one on the left and one on the right, wearing a robe with crimson ruyi patterns sprinkled with gold flowers, and black sheepskin boots of the same style were welcoming guests in high spirits.

I haven't seen him for a few years, and Shen Mu is not old at all, but his demeanor is better than before. Always elegant and graceful, with a good demeanor. But a few people know that under the cover of a humble gentleman with a good official reputation and a filial piety in this capital, he Shen Mu is a real villain.

The gate of the Shen Mansion is lively at the moment, and the nobles who have received invitations to celebrate their birthdays are coming one after another, and generous gifts are being carried into the courtyard one by one.

Shen Mu's mouth came again and again: "Don't dare!", "You're polite!" "Thank you!" ...... But in Shen Moyun's opinion, the humble tone could not stop the pride and calculation in his heart, he swept the gifts intentionally or unintentionally, and the glittering little eyes had already been seen through by his daughter.

With such a good opportunity to improve the official reputation and reputation, the Shen family will naturally not miss it. But no, at the gate, the machine for pie rice and noodles and longevity peaches was erected early, and it was only about to start as soon as noon arrived. No, seeing that there were people and beggars with free food pies, they lined up early.

There are really a lot of people who came today, and under the report of the little guy, there were several nobles who were higher than Shen Mu in the time of half a cup of tea. In addition to the reason why today is the official's day off, it seems that my father has mixed really well in the past few years!

Under the praise of the people and the blessing of the VIPs, Shen Moyun was following the little guy through the curtain to muttering the grades of those officials, counting the carriages and horses of which officials and their dependents entered the second gate, admiring the smirk on Shen Mu's face......

Caught off guard, a pair of cold starry eyes met her gaze.

The sudden appearance of the handsome face frightened her, and she almost screamed in panic, and before she could see the man clearly, she subconsciously lowered the curtain.

Who is this? Sneaking into her carriage, she must be an out-and-out prodigal...... Shen Moyun froze, cursed secretly in his heart, and was just about to open his mouth to scold a few words, when a familiar voice came in through the curtain:

"Water girl, meet again!

……

What Shen Moyun didn't know was that Cui Yiheng heard that Shen Moyun had gone north to Beijing, but it was the same route as him, so he also followed all the way north.

None of them found the farm's carriage along the way, so he planned to send people to guard the south gate directly. But he couldn't have imagined that Shen Moyun and the others had a lot of people, and they were already slow, and they waited for two more days in the southern town, which was four or five days slower than Cui Yiheng.

Yesterday, Cui Yi entered the palace to resume his life, and just in time for the officials to go to the court, he heard that today is Shen Mu's birthday.

So, half an hour ago, he took the carriage that the Holy Lord had just given him and waited at the mouth of the alley not far away.

However, he lived up to his expectations, and after a while, he saw his old acquaintance Chunsheng riding a horse, and then drove the carriage to a remote intersection......

As soon as Shen Moyun heard this, his scalp began to tingle, hey, why did he meet this nemesis again. This "mountain boy" is really powerful, and he found her so quickly.

She stiffly lifted the curtain, and sure enough, wasn't it the cold stone face in front of her? At this moment, he was sitting in a carriage next to her, lifting the curtain in the same posture as her, just over a foot away from her, and was looking at her with interest......

Shen Moyun could even feel the hot breath coming out of his mouth, and her scalp that had just relaxed became numb again......
