There was no escort by His Royal Highness King Duan on this trip, and as soon as everyone discussed, it was decided that Meng Yingque would escort Shen Yan's mother and daughter back to Luling.

Because Jiang Wenying's derogatory order was issued quickly, he was asked to go to work immediately after receiving the documents, and as soon as he left, the Jiang family would inevitably be a mess, and Aunt Jiang asked Meng Yingque to go over in person, and also asked him to take care of all the affairs of the Jiang family. Jiang Ruyun and Jiang Ruhui were originally studying in Guozijian, and Aunt Jiang thought about it for a while, so she decided to let the brothers return to Luling at the end of the year, which can be regarded as being able to preside over the overall situation in the house.

On the tenth day of the first lunar month, the weather was quite sunny, and a group of several carriages and horses went out of the city and stayed in the short pavilion.

Mrs. Meng was reluctant to love her daughter, so she kept sending Shen Yan's mother and daughter outside the city, but she was still reluctant. Shen Yu's mother and daughter got out of the car and said goodbye to the old lady and lingered separately.

And in a small wooden house more than ten zhang away from the short pavilion, Qin Yue stood by the window, and his eyes fell on Shen Yu, and it was a good mistake. He doesn't have the courage to break into the boudoir at night like Xu Yan, and he can't blatantly send a greeting post to say goodbye to Shen Yan, after thinking about it, Shen Yan's mother and daughter will eventually return to Luling for the New Year, out of the Meng family's deep mansion compound, he took a look at it from a distance, and there was still a chance.

So he stayed in and out of the city for many days, and finally waited for the carriage that left the Meng family.

Looking at it from a distance, Shen Yu has not changed much from before leaving, that smile has already been engraved in her heart, and after five or six years of getting along, each other's temperament and demeanor have long been familiar, and it will be unforgettable for a long time. Qin Yu hadn't heard the news that King Duan was going to marry Shen Yu, and he looked at it from a distance at this time, full of regret in his heart.

I don't know who would be so lucky to hug Shen Yugui, and from then on love and affection?

She is such a delicate and agile girl, suitable for marrying into a beautiful and warm family like the Shen family, and continue to be carefree and have a quiet time. And the Qin family ...... Thinking of the mess in Qin's mansion, Qin Yu felt upset. How could she accept such an environment?

When I was young, I was proud of the Qin Mansion, but now I feel that I am tired of it.

He just wanted to escape and recreate a world-

When Shen Yan's mother and daughter returned to Luling, it was almost twenty months old.

The political envoy went wrong, and the entire Wuchuan officialdom was not □□ stable, but this would not hinder the life of the ordinary people. The New Year is approaching, Luling City is also much more lively than usual, each family is preparing for the New Year's things, the rich people pay more attention, at this time, they will order people everywhere to build gold and silver utensils, add jewelry and clothes, make exquisite lanterns, the business in each shop is booming, and everyone's face is full of joy.

In Jiang's mansion, there was a gloomy cloud.

After Jiang Wenying received the paperwork, she hurriedly went to work, because Aunt Jiang was not at home, and the affairs of the house fell on the heads of Aunt He and Jiang Ruyun's wife Wei.

Aunt He is a kind and weak person, and the Wei family has only entered the house every two years, and Jiang Wenying was sitting outside before, and they can still manage things in an orderly manner, but this time Jiang Wenying left, all kinds of things are complicated and many, and the two of them are powerless.

As soon as the Jiang Ruyun brothers and Meng Yingque came, it was the savior who came in person, which made the two of them breathe a sigh of relief, and the bleak gloom in the house was finally much lighter.

After Shen Yan's mother and daughter walked to Jiang's house, they hurriedly returned to Shen's house.

Shen Ping can be said to be both happy and worried, what he is happy about is that in the past two days, the Ministry of Rites has come to discuss the matter of King Duan's wedding, and the number of rites is very good, although it is the Ministry of Rites in the specific implementation, many things are set by Xu Yan himself, in Shen Ping's eyes, he naturally feels that Xu Yan is interested in Shen Yan, which makes people happy.

Those who are worried, Jiang Wenying was suddenly degraded by this, the wind above the court is treacherous, and the future of the Jiang family is uncertain, can it not make people sad?

However, no matter how worried you are, life still has to pass slowly.

Because Mrs. Shen has not yet returned, although the mansion has prepared some things for the New Year, it is not complete in the end. Because Jiang Wenying will return to Luling for the New Year during the New Year's Festival, the Jiang family naturally can't be simple, and Mrs. Shen has to take care of things on both sides, so busy that her feet don't touch the ground.

Shen Yan is much more relaxed here.

Towards the end of the year, the matter of soliciting books is also coming to an end, and during the time she left, the academy had almost done everything, and there was nothing left for her to do. Shen Yu took a look at the list of books that had been collected at the end, and flipped through the books that she had never seen before, but she was leisurely.

Just sitting alone in the hut of Jingzhao Pavilion, sometimes it is inevitable to be distracted.

I think of the tea brewing on that thunderstorm day, I think of him leaning in and whispering "marry me", I think of that flustered and short kiss...... Shen Yu was lying on the edge of the window, looking at the plum blossoms blooming in the courtyard next door, and suddenly missed Xu Yan a little.

It's only been four months, Shen Yu snapped her fingers, and after four months, she became his wife, and she would sleep with him day and night, maybe it would be unpleasant, but more, it should be the fun of the boudoir, right?

It was a strange life, which made people worry and look forward to it.

The man's heroic face and vigorous posture appeared in front of him, and Shen Yan's fingers fell on the windowsill, unconsciously copying the painting.

Xu Yan, who was far away in the capital, suddenly sneezed, looked at the stacks of documents in front of him, and rubbed his nose.

Looking out, the sky was getting darker and darker. This year, the weather in the capital seems to be extraordinarily cold, there is going to be a snow every three or five days, the day before is still shining, the next day is the cold wind raging, even if it is a strong person like Xu Yan, he still feels a little nervous walking on the road.

He was in a hurry now, but he didn't have any thoughts, thinking that things were urgent recently, and he couldn't bear the cold, so he asked someone to boil a bowl of ginger soup and drink it.

The little eunuch who summoned him into the palace was already waiting at the door, Xu Yan glanced at the documents in his hand again, and then carefully put it away, took the usual black woven gold embroidered dark pattern of the big gloss, went out to ask someone to lead the jade lion, and the carriage behind carried the old Taoist priest who had been looking for many days, braving the cold wind to enter the palace.

Towards the end of the year, Miyagi is also bustling with activity. Because Emperor Huiping would climb the tower on Chinese New Year's Eve to enjoy with the people, a light tower was being built near the palace gate, and several people from the Ministry of Works personally supervised the work there, and when they saw Xu Yan, they hurriedly saluted.

Although Shen Yan's uncle Meng Yingshi was worried at home, because he was personally worried about the lantern tower in previous years, the Ministry of Industry specially invited him to come over and give him guidance.

When Xu Yan saw him, he suddenly remembered Shen Yan, and turned around and asked Gu An, "Have you found all the things you were looking for?" ”

Gu An was stunned for a moment, Xu Yan ordered him to find a lot of things, what did he say? Seeing Xu Yan's afterglow falling on Meng Yingshi, he suddenly reacted and replied, "Yesterday, I sent someone to the jade master to see it, and it has been carved, and it will be delivered tonight." ”

Xu Yan was very satisfied, "How is the carving?" ”

"Jade is the best good jade, and the master's carving has nothing to say, it is made vividly and refreshed."

Xu Yan nodded. The vivid jade fox, I don't know if she will like it?

After entering the palace gate, he still went to the Lama Temple. Since the old Jiang Pavilion was imprisoned, Emperor Huiping didn't know whether it was to avoid the courtiers asking to see him, or to sort out his thoughts with peace of mind, he always stayed in the Yonghe Hall when he was fine, except for a few close people, no outsiders were seen.

Xu Yan walked into the hall, the smell of agarwood was still familiar, and behind the long hanging curtain, Emperor Huiping stood in front of the Sanqing statue with his hands, as if he was in a trance.

Hearing Xu Yan's greeting voice, Emperor Huiping turned around, his eyes a little empty, "Everyone has found it?" ”

"I've found it, just outside the palace."

Emperor Huiping turned around and ordered the little eunuch to announce him in.

The door of the temple was pushed open, and there was a Taoist priest in his fifties, with a crane in his body, silver hair and a childish face, and his arms were long and drooping, and his posture was fluttering. Emperor Huiping couldn't help but light up at first glance, turned his head to look at the Lan Daoist standing behind him, and said, "This is the Xu Zhenren you said?" ”

Lan Daoist is a close confidant of Emperor Huiping, and he has been deeply respected for talking about scriptures and teachings over the years.

After Emperor Huiping found the "Tongxuan Sutra", he asked Lan Daoist to build it in the same way, and Lan Daoist studied it for a few days, but finally shook his head and regretted, saying that his ability was limited and he couldn't understand the mechanism, and then recommended his own junior brother Xu Zhenren, who was wandering outside and seeing the dragon.

At this time, Emperor Huiping asked, and Daoist Lan hurriedly answered "yes", stepped forward and saluted: "Senior brother, don't come unharmed." ”

Xu Zhenren's face was pale, he returned the salute, and asked, "I heard that the Holy Master has a Tongxuan Sutra in his hand, is this matter serious?" ”

"That's it, old fairy, please take a look." Emperor Huiping was polite.

Xu Zhenren didn't shirk it, he stood by the side of the case, flipped through the "Tongxuan Sutra" for a long time, and finally covered the volume casually, raised his eyes and said: "The saint is coaxing me?" This book is clearly not the real "Tongxuan Sutra"! ”

Emperor Huiping's face was surprised.

Over the years, he believed in Taoism, studied Taoist classics in his spare time, and also understood the principles of Taoism. When he got this "Tongxuan Sutra", Emperor Huiping was overjoyed and had doubts, but after carefully looking at the content of it, it was consistent with the reason, and he thought it was genuine. But now Xu Zhenren said that this book is not genuine?

After all, he is an emperor who sits on the four seas, even if he is polite to Taoist priests, Xu Zhenren's straightforward words will make him unhappy.

Emperor Huiping paced to the back of the desk and sat down, looking down at Xu Zhenren in a condescending posture, "Isn't the old fairy joking?" ”

"The old way doesn't dare to say anything." Xu Zhenren's face was not more colorful, the dust moved slightly, the Taoist robe swayed lightly, and when he stepped forward slowly, he was a little more immortal than the Blue Daoist. He spread out the book and said, "The book "Tongxuan Sutra" is indeed recorded in the classics, and the saint knows who wrote it and when it was written? ”

Emperor Huiping was stunned by the question, and then looked at Lan Daoist.
