Chapter 109: Outing
After a while, Old Madam Shen put down the scriptures and prayer beads in her hand and asked, "Your brother is going out again?" ”
"Well, my brother is on duty today!" Shen Linglang knew that her grandmother had finished reciting the scriptures, so she leaned over and kneaded her shoulders for her grandmother. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
Old Madam Shen had a smile on her face and patted Shen Linglang's hand, "My good granddaughter! Then he pretended to be angry and said, "I've been running out these days, hmph, I thought I could see it every day when I went back to the capital, but it's good, I don't go home every day, alas, it's better to let him follow your father in the northwest!" ”
"Grandma is always so wrong! When my brother didn't come back, who was talking about my brother every day? Shen Linglang said with a smile while wrinkling her nose, "Who doesn't know that grandma hurts the most is my brother!" ”
"You girl!" Old Madam Shen also laughed, and patted Shen Linglang's hand again, "Grandma is thinking, your brother is not young, he has followed your father in the army all these years to take care of lifelong affairs, and now it is time to settle down, in the barracks all day long, where to see the eldest girl?" Alas, your mother is always sick and in pain, and her body has not been well, so one day your mother is more comfortable, and you can also talk to your mother, and your mother will be more relieved if she settles down earlier! The two princesses who are the right age with your brother are both golden branches and jade leaves, and they will inevitably have a little temper, your brother is on duty in the palace, you tell him, if you have the opportunity to take a sneak peek, see which one is more kind......."
"Grandma, what if my brother can't even look down on it?" Shen Linglang asked while beating her grandmother's back.
"They are all royal princesses, with noble status, and there is a reason why he can't look down on them? If you can let him choose one of the two, I have to open my old face to ask the queen to marry! Old Madam Shen said with disgust.
"My brother is worse than others, as soon as my brother walks out, I don't know how many girls fall in love with it! I've also seen the princess, although her bearing is good, her appearance is ordinary, if my brother doesn't like the princess, but he likes an ordinary girl? Shen Linglang said again.
"How's that going to work?" Old Madam Shen sighed again, "Ling'er, the affairs of the family have always been for you to help me cook, and you also know the situation of our family, your father has been a deputy commander in the northwest for so many years, why?" Your father has been in the northwest, but he refuses to take our family over for a reunion, what is the reason? Alas, your father is also in trouble! ”
Why do my sons and fathers work hard for the royal family from generation to generation, but they are always not trusted by the royal family? The Shen family has a deep foundation in the army, the emperor wants to use the Shen family, and he has to guard against the Shen family, what the Shen family lacks now is not military merit but the emperor's trust, how can we gain the trust of the royal family? Of course, the easiest and fastest way is to marry, in addition to marrying a princess, you can also marry the daughter of the Shen family into the royal family, but the emperor is not in good health, Linglang is only thirteen years old, of course he can't be sent to the palace to keep the widow, of course, in addition to the emperor and the prince, there are three princes in the emperor, all of them are looking at the throne, which one can win? Still an unknown! If the daughter of the Shen family marries which prince, then the Shen family will inevitably have to get involved in the battle for the throne of the princes, one is inappropriate, that is, the catastrophe will never be recovered, the Shen family cannot take such a risk, and besides, the old lady Shen turned her head to look at Shen Linglang beside her, such a well-behaved granddaughter, how could she be willing to let her marry into the royal family, although it seems to be full of flowers on the surface, who knows the bloodstains under the flowers! If Cheng En can listen to his own arrangement to marry a princess, it will be much simpler, although they are all phoenix sons and dragon grandchildren, but the princesses have nothing to do with the throne, and the two princesses who match the age of their grandsons are not too high, and they do not have biological brothers, isn't it very good, you can get closer to the royal family, and you don't have to get involved in the competition of the princes, Mrs. Shen is very satisfied with her decision, and she also hopes that her grandson can understand her mind and cooperate with her decision.
"Alas!" Shen Linglang also sighed, she didn't understand what her grandmother thought, but what about her brother? What about my brother's happiness? Shen Linglang remembered the smile on his brother's face when he mentioned Luo Yunyao, such happiness, so bright, although his heart ached, but he really hoped that his brother could be happy forever, if he could smile like that forever, be so happy, then what could he not give up? But how much more can I help? Even if he can persuade his grandmother to agree with his brother not to marry the princess, then grandma will definitely find a girl for his brother who is the right girl, just a Luo family? Grandma will definitely not agree, thinking of this, Shen Linglang felt a little happy and sad for her brother, "Brother also understands, anyway, my brother has only been back for a long time, and this matter is not so anxious!" ”
Old Madam Shen patted Shen Linglang again, only nodded, she also understood that her grandson had been away with her son for a few years, and she was not willing to be detained in the capital, nor was she willing to marry a princess, and she was no longer allowed to display her ambitions, so she could only take any idle position in name only, but her grandson was a smart child, he would definitely be able to figure it out, but she didn't know that her grandson now had a girl she liked in her heart, and now she was thinking about how to stay with her.
In the days when he was not on duty, Shen Chengen went to the Zhuangzi of the Luo family again, and met Luo Yunyao, in addition to playing the piano and writing, the two of them were just walking by the lotus pond, Luo Yunyao always felt that Shen Chengen was a military general, but he didn't expect that in addition to marching and fighting, Shen Chengen also dabbled in piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, although he couldn't say that he was proficient in everything, but he was also the head of the way when he talked about it, especially good at playing the flute, Luo Yunyao couldn't help but look at Shen Chengen with admiration, when Shen Chengen first saw Luo Yunyao, he was attracted by her quiet smile, The more they get along, the more they are surprised, the more they feel attracted, Luo Yunyao has the gentleness, calmness, brightness and generosity of everyone's girls, but there are no those arrogant and arrogant, although they have only met a few times, the two of them feel that they have the same heart, but it seems that they have known each other for many years, as if there are endless words, and it seems that there is no need to say anything, a glance can understand what the other party is thinking.
On this day, Shen Chengen made an appointment with Luo Yunyao to climb the mountain, although summer is really not a good time to climb the mountain, but when the two of them meet, they can't just play the piano and write or be relatively silent, the pulse is affectionate, the Luo family's Zhuangzi is not far from the West Mountain, and the West Mountain is verdant with trees, it is a good place to play.
The West Mountain is the mountain where the Huayan Temple is located, the mountain of the West Mountain is gentle, but it covers a wide area, there are several continuous peaks, the largest of which is the Huayan Temple, Shen Chengen and Luo Yunyao go, it is a small hill belonging to the West Mountain.
The carriage stopped at the foot of the hill in a gentle place, full of unnamed miscellaneous trees, under the trees was green grass, the grass was full of wild flowers of all colors, and there was a small stream running beside it, the water was very shallow, one part was exposed, and the other was hidden under the big stones, and only the sound of clear water could be heard, and when it had flowed through this section, the stream was revealed again.
