Chapter 34 The Lotus Pond by the Bamboo Forest
Shen Jinyu didn't speak, watching Shen Huaijin smile and continue to walk forward, Shen Huaijin grabbed Shen Jinyu's arm and said hurriedly: "I really don't like it, at the beginning, in order to save Cheng Xuan, they arrested me and took me to the barracks." I didn't like him back then www.biquge.info Later, on the way back to Beijing, I knew that Cheng Xuan was killing people to save me, but the blood of that person sprayed on my face, and I was scared when I saw him. And also. ”
Shen Jinyu intercepted Shen Huaijin's words and said: "I know that you have been wronged, although these grievances are not necessarily other people's original intentions, think about one or two, regardless of eight or nine, as a man, you must be more broad-minded." ”
Shen Huaijin nodded a little embarrassed and said, "I know, it's not my father, so there's no reason to be so good to me." ”
Shen Jinyu and Shen Huaijin have a strange tacit understanding, they have been in the capital for so long, and there has been no news of their father's mother, Shen Huaijin didn't ask, Shen Jinyu didn't mention it, both of them pretended to downplay this matter, and they were less worried if they didn't talk about it.
Today he blurted out these words, and Shen Huaijin's voice gradually became smaller.
Neither of them knew what to say, so they could only move forward in silence.
After a while, Shen Jinyu finally smiled reluctantly and said to Shen Huaijin: "But if you like it, after the children's exam, I will give you a gift to ensure that you like it." It doesn't matter if it's in or not. ”
Shen Huaijin was happy again.
As she spoke, she arrived at Jinyue Xuan, Shen Huaijin went to sleep by herself, and Shen Jinyu asked Yuheng to take the medical book to accompany her.
In the afternoon, Shen Huaijin hadn't woken up yet, so Cheng Wan came over, and Shen Jinyu asked in a low voice, "Gu Mingzhu, why didn't you come with you?" ”
Cheng Wan rarely had the usual mockery, and sighed: "I woke up a little bit just now, and I felt that I had lost my manners, so I went back to my room to reflect on myself." No wonder I haven't seen her drink in all these years. You say, she is not as happy as she usually sees, and we people are not as happy as those ordinary people. ”
Shen Jinyu smiled and pulled Cheng Wan's hands and looked at them carefully: "The people of Pingtou are happy? Not to mention anything else, just looking at your ten fingers that don't touch the spring water, how can you plow the ground, pick up water, and wash your clothes with such delicate hands? There are gains and losses in everything. ”
Cheng Wan pulled her hand back and said, "That's right, the last time I carried the basket, I also thought it was very difficult for them." Life is not easy for anyone. ”
Shen Jinyu covered her mouth and smiled: "I look at you and feel very unaccustomed to life, you should be dancing proudly." ”
Before Cheng Wan could answer, Shen Huaijin got up, Cheng Wan sent a maid to send Shen Huaijin to the second gate, it was time for him to go back to the library, although Shen Huaijin was reluctant, he had to say goodbye.
In the afternoon, when Cheng Xuan came to Yuexuan, Cheng Wan was embroidering, Shen Jinyu and Yuheng were reading medical books, Cheng Xuan smiled: "It's so quiet, it's not the right time for me to come." ”
Cheng Wan saw her brother coming, dropped the embroidery frame, jumped up and asked, "Why is my brother free today?" ”
Cheng Xuan pretended to be mysterious and said: "I'll take you to a good place, Jinyu, you can go with you." ”
Shen Jinyu only felt a little stunned, Cheng Xuan had always kept a little distance from her, it was very rare to call her name so directly today, she hadn't said anything and had been pulled away by the acute Cheng Wan, Cheng Xuan left Yuheng to look at the courtyard, and left with the two of them.
followed Cheng Xuan for a while, it was a section of the road they rarely go to, just when Cheng Wan was about to get impatient, she passed through a bamboo forest, it was a bamboo pavilion, and there was a lotus pond next to the bamboo pavilion, Shen Jinyu remembered, the day after she arrived at Cheng's Mansion more than a year ago, Cheng Xuan took her here, but at that time she remembered that the lake here was sparkling and beautiful, and there was no trace of lotus flowers.
Cheng Wan jumped up when she turned to the bamboo pavilion and said, "I know that my brother loves me the most." "It turned out that there was a small boat parked next to the bamboo pavilion, and it was swaying.
After that, he took off his shoes and socks and sat down.
Cheng Xuan didn't stop it, Cheng Wan sat on the boat and began to glide slowly in the pool.
Shen Jinyu sat on the railing in the bamboo pavilion, Cheng Xuan accompanied him quietly, the flowing water frog singing in his ears, and the time was so leisurely that he couldn't notice its passing, like a thick honey dripping, solidifying into a sweet imprint.
After looking at it for a while, Shen Jinyu asked, "Shouldn't you be very busy these days?" How can there be free time? Is this where I first visited? When was the lotus planted? ”
Cheng Xuan smiled: "There are so many questions, which one should I answer?" ”
Shen Jinyu smiled: "From the recent answer, why is it so empty recently?" The capital has just calmed down, shouldn't you be very busy? ”
Although Cheng Xuan smiled, his expression was a little more reluctant and said: "There is nothing to do, and there is nothing to do in summer and spring." Now that the chaos is over, it's time for us to go home and rest. ”
Shen Jinyu was puzzled: "Aren't you a close confidant of the emperor's grandson?" The emperor loves him so much, how can this be? ”
Cheng Xuan said: "The legend cannot be believed, the emperor did not ......"
Seeing that he looked like he wanted to speak and stopped, Shen Jinyu understood a little, she thought for a while and said: "Legend has it that the emperor is not taken seriously today, but when the first emperor passed away, the prince of the year was overly sad and caused physical discomfort and lingering sickbed, and he did not ascend the throne and left with the first emperor. ”
"The crown prince of this dynasty was born to the queen of this dynasty, and it is said that he is smart and benevolent, but it is a pity that he is a pillar of talent, and he is not pretending to be young. The emperor missed it a lot, and loved the house and Wu, and gave the prince's son who was not yet a month old as the emperor's grandson. How much of this is true and how much is false? ”
Cheng Xuan was shocked and sweated, he knew that Shen Jinyu was the grandson of Shen Zheng, and he also knew that Shen Zheng was quite favored back then, but he didn't expect Shen Jinyu to know so much about the events of that year. This girl knows too much, but she doesn't have the ability to protect herself, no wonder she was so protective of herself at the beginning and didn't want to reveal Shen Zheng's news.
For Shen Jinyu, Cheng Xuan gave her shelter when she was most helpless, and also let her see hope when she was desperate. Although she is very defensive against people, now she is slowly willing to believe him, or rather, she is willing to repay him within the scope of what she can, and the way she repays is to find out the part of these things that her grandfather taught her back then to inform Cheng Xuan.
Shen Jinyu vaguely remembered that her grandfather had taught her when she was very young, and his understanding of the political situation was her last means of saving her life, although she was still young and did not understand the meaning, she still memorized these words.
She can even recall the way she shook her head when she was a child, and she was confused by the tongue-twisting and incomprehensible "rush to use it or not to make it".
