Since Xiao Huai has an idea here, he naturally has other plans. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

After getting up early and freshening up, he walked to the outer hall, and Su Yan was already standing in front of him with a book.

"There are already nine posts that have been posted. It is reported that there are still seven or eight people who are preparing to come to the door in person today or tomorrow to take the opportunity of visiting Shen Shilang to test his intentions.

"Thirty percent of these people are officials of the second rank and above and relatives of the emperor, followed by three of the same rank, and five of the general's mansion.

"A copy of the roster has been sent to the Qianqing Palace. The emperor is also very much in favor of selecting a few celebrities from the school yard the day before yesterday to marry. ”

After Su Yan finished speaking, he followed him to the long window, and continued: "In addition, there is another person who has officially proposed marriage to Shen Shilang yesterday.

This person is Lin Juntao, the head of Dali Temple, who officially handed over a marriage proposal to the Shen family on behalf of his eldest grandson Lin Pei. And Lin Pei is quite familiar with the children of the Shen family, so it is said that he is also very active. ”

When Xiao Huai heard the word Lin Pei, he remembered the person he met in the Dunyi Garden that night.

He turned around in front of the window: "What kind of positive method?"

"Our guards found out, Lin Pei made an appointment with Miss Shen to meet in the Lanji Teahouse last morning. Su Yan glanced at him after speaking.

Meet?

Xiao Huai suddenly threw away a glance, and the piece of incense he was holding in his hand was thrown on the table with a bang.

Shen Xi arrived at the Lanji Teahouse on time.

The teahouse is not far from the Shen Mansion, but it is only two streets, and when he arrived, Lin Pei had already come. The young man, who was originally quite decent and handsome, actually had a circle of blue around his eyes, and he lost a little bit of spirit.

Shen Xi skipped all the greetings, and when the guy served the refreshments, he raised his lips and said, "Lin Gongzi has something important to look for me?"

Lin Pei gritted his teeth, and seemed to be a little embarrassed. After a while, he looked at her and said, "Someone in my house went to see Ling Zu yesterday, I don't know if you know?"

"Yes. Shen Xi nodded.

She was so happy and direct, Lin Pei was stunned. Then he said with a feverish face: "Then what do you think?"

Shen Xi said with a smile: "I, Shen Xi, have no father or mother, but Lin Gongzi is the eldest grandson of the Lin Mansion, and he has a bright future in the future, I don't know what you think?"

Lin Pei clenched his fists and said, "Although you have no father or mother, I will treat you wholeheartedly." Let's play a small relationship, I think it's very appropriate. ”

And said: "Don't worry, I have already said it to our old lady, I have already let it go, I don't want anyone except you, I just want to marry you!"

Shen Xi picked up the tea and stared at him for a while, and said, "Gongzi looks up to Shen Xi so much, Shen Xi is deeply honored.

"But with all due respect, I feel that Childe's affection is a little inexplicable.

"Although I had a childhood friendship with my son, I never discussed the relationship between my children and daughters, and in the first three years, my son used to treat me as a passerby, and now I am suddenly so enthusiastic, which is really incomprehensible. ”

Lin Pei's face changed slightly.

Shen Xi didn't plan to go around the bend with him, he had to explain today, and if he didn't explain, he had to explain. She didn't have that much time to spend on this kind of thing, and she was here for the answer.

"You're really blaming me. He muttered and hung his head, looking a little frustrated.

Shen Xi didn't speak.

She has no affection for him, but judging from Shen Yan's words, since the original owner chose to marry him later, it can be seen that there is still some affection.

Since there is affection, there will inevitably be unwillingness and resentment, and it is reasonable for her to be tolerant of him now.

And if he says so, it is tantamount to admitting.

"You seem to be very different. He did not answer her question, but looked at her with deep doubt.

He had wanted to say this sentence a long time ago. In the past, Shen Xi would never have spoken to him in such a tough tone - no, she would be tough, but she wouldn't be so clear-headed.

Now she seems to be able to see the core of the problem at a glance.

"People change. Isn't it?" she said.

He raised his hand and wiped his face, a little hesitant: "At that time, I was just scared." ”

Scared? Shen Xi raised his lips. She wouldn't believe that kind of nonsense. Shen Chongxin and his wife are not rebelling, the Shen Mansion is fine, what is he afraid of?

She brushed the hem of her skirt and stood up: "If you refuse to speak, then I will take my leave." ”

"Wait!" he stood up abruptly and grabbed her sleeve, gritted his teeth, "It's not that I can't say it, it's just that I said it, will you forgive me?"

"It depends on what happens. ”

Lin Pei hung his head angrily, and suddenly sat back on the chair, and was silent for a long time before he said with a heart: "Lingzun Lingtang's death may have something to do with me. ”

The death of Mr. and Mrs. Shen Zhengxin?!

Shen Xi's scattered thoughts suddenly gathered!

"What do you mean?!"

Lin Pei looked at her blankly, swallowed his saliva and said, "It's a long story." You tell me first, how much do you know about the Lingzun Lingtang incident?"

Shen Xi held his breath for a while and said, "The approximate time and brief process of the accident. ”

Lin Pei nodded, clenched his fists against his eyebrows, hesitated, and then spoke: "Three years ago, on a snowy night, I had a small gathering with several rich sons in Beijing at the drunken immortal building next to the post road outside the South City Gate.

"I drank a little too much at the time, and I didn't bother to rush the city gate, so we settled down in the restaurant for the time being.

"I woke up in the early morning to look for tea, and I thought the charcoal fire in the house was sweltering, so I came out to breathe.

"I didn't know that I had not gone far out of the door when I tripped over a stone in a snowdrift and fell to the ground. And before I could get up, I heard a whisper in the grove not far away.

"I thought it was a bandit, and because of my lack of physical strength, I didn't want to make another trouble, so I simply lay down in the snowdrift and didn't move. But soon I found out that it was not the bandits, but someone hurrying to the southern suburbs.

"In the midst of the chaos, I heard someone say 'Helian people', and I was a little sober at the moment, and then continued-"

At this point, he tightened his eyebrows and stopped abruptly.

"What about the next?" Shen Xi returned to his place and sat down, his face already covered with frost.

"Then I recognized it as your father. ”

His voice was faint, as if floating in mid-air.

Shen Xi held his breath for a moment and blurted out, "Then you're going to tell the truth?"

"How could I?!" he raised his head sharply and stood up: "Although I, Lin Pei, don't dare to call myself noble, but I am definitely not such a despicable villain with a knife in his back!"

"What's the good of me besides that they're suffering, how can I run to the snitch?!"

"Then why?!" Shen Xi also stood up.

Lin Pei gritted his teeth, stared at the foot of the wall and said, "If you want to blame it, blame me for why I drank so much wine that day!"

"My mind was drowsy, and when I heard that it was your father, I immediately got up from the snow, and before I could say anything, they were already heading for the southern suburbs.

"And I didn't bother with a hangover and didn't wake up.

"I didn't think there was anything wrong with them being there.

"When I got back to the restaurant, my friend asked me where I had gone, and I said casually that I had met your father in the snow, and that I was looking for some Helian people, and that I had not noticed anything wrong with it.

"But within a few days, someone was knocking on me and asking me, but I didn't say anything. Later, there was news that your father had been taken by Lingyun Pavilion—"
