Zhenshu suddenly thought that now Zhenyu is pregnant, maybe she didn't take it seriously, otherwise she would have run to the small building and would come, where she would run to the palace to hand over the report to the queen mother, and call her to take care of the housework of a concubine who has lost power? Thinking of this, Zhenshu gritted his teeth and said to himself: I actually asked him to coax.

On the third day of the fourth lunar month, Zhenshu didn't need anyone to invite him, he went to Song Anrong to report and walked to Yuyichen's mansion by himself. She walked fast, but did not want to go through his door, and went around to the back door before she went to the porter and knocked on it. It was Sun Yuan who was guarding the door, and he hurriedly opened the door and said, "My father-in-law has been waiting for the girl, please come in quickly." ”

Zhenshu followed him into the door, and saw that all kinds of flowers in the courtyard were not as good as before. It's only been half a month, and the flowering has faded. On the contrary, the big pear tree on the side of the wall in the far side of the yard, and now the snow-white tree with pear blossoms is the most prosperous scene.

Zhenshu went up to the small building and saw Yu Yichen sitting in the inner room on the second floor. Today the sky was a little gray and dark, and although it did not rain, the clouds were very thick. Especially from this small building, it is gloomy. The pear blossom floated in mid-air, silently snow-white in the gloom.

Yu Yichen is not on the balcony today, but on a platform half a foot high and seven or eight feet long in a room on the east side of the building. Like the floor, this table is made of shiny wooden planks that have been oiled several times and beaten repeatedly. It was covered with a huge Persian plush blanket. He sat cross-legged on the blanket, holding a cup in his hand, and on the small table in front of him a pot of rice wine lukewarm in water, drinking slowly.

Yu Yichen stretched out his hand and asked, "Do you want a drink?" ”

Zhenshu shook his head. She didn't want to go home drunk in the eunuch's house.

She also sat down at the table, opened the book and read: "The kingdom of Valuja." More than 600 miles from east to west. More than 300 miles from north to south. The capital of the National University is six miles on Friday. The soil is suitable for the order of human nature and customs. The rules of writing are the same as those of Qu Zhiguo. There are few differences in language. Fine felt, fine brown neighboring heavier. Dozens of Garans. There are more than 1,000 monks. Xi Xue's Hinayana teachings say that there is a qiē ......"

"That green ridge, it must be not Zhou Mountain, right?" Yu Yichen suddenly interrupted and asked.

Zhenshu took the bookmark, closed the book and said, "Exactly." It connects Kana Kunlun and the Tianshan Mountains side by side, continuous and winding, and the snow peaks stand in groups, towering into the clouds. ”

Yu Yichen asked, "Why did the ascetic monk go so far to that bitter place?" ”

Zhenshu said: "For the long-sealed Dharma, and the answer he wants to find, to be born as a human being." ”

Yu Yichen shook his head with a wry smile and said, "Monks and eunuchs are all people who break off their feelings and destroy their sex. However, the monks take the initiative and ask for respect. Eunuchs make a living and are disgusted. ”

Zhenshu said: "The reason why monks are respected is not because they are out of love, but because they give up their worldly desires for higher wisdom, and they dedicate their lives to this. ”

Yu Yichen seemed to be greedy for the heat on the cup, he was already thin, but his face was pale today, he took another cup from the table and poured a glass of rice wine, handed it to Zhenshu and said, "Even if you don't drink it, hold it, otherwise I will be too lonely." ”

Zhenshu finally took it, and when her hand touched his thin and slender fingers, she couldn't help shrinking her hand coldly.

This light brown slurry has an intoxicating sweet aroma. Zhenshu took it and held it in his hand, and saw Yu Yichen pointing behind him and said, "Did you see that painting?" ”

Zhenshu looked up and saw that it was his grandfather Song Shihong's book "Qingping Le Village House"

She provoked him by the words, and at this time, she did not know what he meant, so she held the cup and was silent.

Yu Yichen took a sip, his lips were slightly bloody, and his face was also a little charming because of the blood color generated by the short-term heat, his skin was white and fine, and there was some pity in his sorrow: "My father was the pianist who played music for Emperor Taizong back then, and my mother was the palace maid in Yanfu Palace. In the Great Inner Palace, in addition to the eunuchs who have no desires, the only ones who can make the lonely palace maids feel the most are those who have never been castrated and are gentle and elegant. ”

He took another sip and looked at the pear blossom in the distance outside the window that was as blurry as a floating cloud and said: "At that time, my father was still a little decent in front of Emperor Taizong, so he dredged my mother outside the palace, and when she left, she sent such a picture for her to keep." ”

Yu Yichen seemed to be caught in the endless grievances of the past, his eyebrows lowered slightly, and the kind of charm and melancholy that only a national woman could have appeared in the corners of his eyes, his long eyelashes trembled slightly, and the beauty on his face could only be viewed from a distance, not blasphemed. He raised his hand and pointed behind him and said, "That's Mr. Jiaxuan's handwriting, the book is heroic and heroic, and it was given by Emperor Taizong himself." ”

He raised his eyebrows and looked out the window again, as if he was talking about someone else's past: "The poem I first learned was this Qingpingle, and I also knew that the white-haired Weng Yuan was the most insipid but also the most rare happiness in the world. ”

Zhenshu hesitated in his heart, and finally did not ask Zhenyu about recovering the lost silver.

Yu Yichen suddenly covered his lips and coughed lightly, took a sip of rice wine, raised his eyes and looked at Zhenshu and said: "No one will send me such a poem, because no one will feel that I want such a life." ”

Zhenshu actually made him a little panicked, and avoided his eyes and said: "You are on the king's side, and the position of wealth and power is already at the top, what do you want but can't get?" ”

Yu Yichen sighed in a low voice: "Silly girl! ”

He looked up at her, his eyes shining with a sparkling look, and there was something sharp and possessive masculine.

Zhenshu stunned him when he said it, and suddenly understood what he was referring to, and said in his heart that this eunuch who is neither male nor female, but always likes to tease himself, and angrily got up with the book and said: "Father-in-law Yu, the little girl has finished reading, and it is time to go home." ”

She has changed into a thin silk spring shirt, and she is still wearing the cloud shoulders that unmarried women often love to wear, and the whole person is delicate and gorgeous. Even when I buried my head in the book, I was like a frightened rabbit. Yu Yichen was still holding the cup, staring intently at her and striding away.

Zhenshu returned to the framing shop, and saw that Song Anrong and Zhao He were both sitting and chatting outside, so they went back to the small building. Before I went upstairs, I heard bursts of laughter upstairs, which was very lively. She thought that Aunt Su and Grandma had come to gossip again, and secretly said that Su's twenty taels of silver had not yet learned the lesson, but when she looked up, she saw a familiar person coming.

Seeing that Zhenshu was coming, Su Shi pointed at Zhang Rui and said, "Call my brother quickly!" ”

Zhenshu was a little surprised when she saw a man sitting in the small hall on the second floor, and she felt even more ridiculous when she heard Su Shi call her brother. That Zhang Rui had already gotten up and sang deeply: "Second sister! ”

Zhenshu retreated to the staircase and asked, "Zhang Gongzi, how do you shout?" ”

Su Shi and Zhang Rui glanced at each other, got up and took the book of Zhen and came over and said: "He is now my godson, and he will carry incense for our family in the future, you have to respect him, and don't forget to talk about it when we meet in the future." ”

It turned out that Zhang Rui worshipped the Su family as his godmother. It's just that I don't know if he is going to find a dewy godmother, or if he wants to enter the shrine and pray that the ancestors will inherit the family business from now on.

Zhenshu glanced at Zhenyuan, and saw that her face was crimson like a spring tide, and he knew that she was moved. Zhenxiu now specializes in embroidering in the hut and refuses to go out again. Zhen Yi is still young now, and when she will be coquettish, she clapped her hands and said, "I want to know the lipstick of Qunfang, and I want all twelve colors." Don't want the rouge shop next to us, just look at it and mix it with water. ”

Su said: "Now that my mother has no income here, she has to rely on your second sister, go and make trouble for her." ”

Zhenshu is most afraid of asking Zhenyi to pester these useless things, she has nothing to do and is lazy to do needlework, and she accompanies Su Shi to visit the Yinlou embroidery workshop all day long.

Zhenshu pointed out that he went downstairs and went back to the front of the framing shop, until he heard that Zhang Rui was gone from a distance in the evening, so he went upstairs and asked Su: "How does my mother recognize the Fa?" ”

Su Shi said: "How else can I recognize the Fa, but one day when I and your father are angry, there can be a man who burns paper and cries beside him." ”

Zhenshu said: "If my mother said that he was just a poor relative of Beishun Houfu, it was only a few months. ”

Su said: "Times are different from the past, although I was worried about it, I always thought that it was far from death. After the death of the old lady in the house, I realized that people are going to die very quickly. Although the old lady in the house has a bad temper all her life, it is still good to treat a few concubines, so that she can have a daughter-in-law to clean up for her, and the concubines help her take care of it, so that she can also leave clean and decent. And we are also old, lying in bed that day, how can your daughters afford the family business? ”

Zhenshu frowned and did not speak. Su Shi said again: "You were originally cultivated by me to set up the portal, if you can find a half for me to come back, then this Zhang Rui, I would have returned." ”

Zhenshu smiled and shook his head: "Just do what my mother wants, but how should the eldest sister deal with herself?" ”

Su Shi lowered his voice and said, "I haven't explained it to your father yet, but he must be accurate." Now let them try it out, and then give them a marriage after the one-year filial piety period expires, do you think it's okay? ”

Zhenshu said: "If you just meet and talk a few words, it will be fine. Between men and women, mothers have to keep an eye on them. Otherwise, if there is a fire that day, even if the other rooms in the Song Mansion are not investigated, Zhenyu will definitely make trouble. ”

Those who don't think about that bit of filth are afraid that there are only castrated eunuchs.

Su Shi glanced at Zhenshu and said: "You even understand this, but you don't tell your mother anything, it can be seen that you have left your heart since you were a child, and you don't believe in your mother." ”

Zhenshu actually suspected her meaning when she heard this, and knew that although she didn't ask, she still believed that she was lost in the Wuling Mountain. So he smiled without saying a word, got up and went back to the house to sleep.

From the next day, Zhang Rui had to report to the backyard building every day like the officials who went to court to order the noodles. Or Su learned from Aunt Su's grandmother that he could no longer find a son-in-law for Zhenyuan, so he had to retreat and envelop this virtuous son-in-law, and gradually even asked Zhang Rui to eat three meals a day in the backyard building before letting him go back to his home.
